SESSION MEETING MINUTES FROM THE WORK SESSION OF JANUARY 22ND, 2024.WE'LL NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR THAT.
I MOVE TO ADOPT THE WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES FROM JANUARY 22ND, 2024.
OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE ADOPTION OF THE BUSINESS MEETINGS FROM JANUARY THE 25TH.
WE HAVE A MOTION? MAKE A MOTION THAT MINUTES BE ADOPTED IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS.
SECOND. ROLL CALL, . ALL RIGHT, OUR NEXT ITEM FOR TONIGHT.
ACTUALLY, OUR ONLY ITEM ON OUR AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION IS THE SUBDIVISION WAIVER SW23-04.
TIM, YOU'RE GOING TO BE GUIDING US WITH THIS.
[00:05:06]
Y'ALL SEE ON THE SCREEN RIGHT THERE, TOO.MADAM CHAIR ANDERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.
WE HAVE THIS WAIVER REQUEST, SW23-04, AND IT IS A REQUEST TO WAIVE STANDARDS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE SEVEN OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. AS IS AUTHORIZED IN ANOTHER SECTION OF THE ORDINANCE.
AND THAT IS TO PERMIT A SUBDIVISION OF ONE LOT INTO TWO FOR A FAMILY SUBDIVISION WITHOUT ADHERING TO ALL OF THE DESIGN STANDARDS OF ARTICLE SEVEN. SO SPECIFICALLY, THEY WANT TO REQUEST A WAIVER OF A CERTAIN CODE SECTION, WHICH REQUIRES THAT PRIVATE ROADS SHALL MEET MINIMUM DESIGN STANDARDS, AS GIVEN IN THE LATEST EDITION OF THE VDOT SUBDIVISION STREET DESIGN GUIDE.
IT'S LOCATED ON AN EXISTING PRIVATE ROAD SHARED BY TWO LOTS THAT ACCESSES SHANDS ROAD.
AND THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 1400FT SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION WITH SPAIN DRIVE.
AND IT HAS A TAX MAP NUMBER PROVIDED TO IDENTIFY THE PROPERTY.
AND THERE IS A SUBDIVISION PLAT THAT GOES ALONG THAT OR THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THIS REQUEST.
THAT'S ON FILE IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS A MAP OF THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY OFF AGAIN OFF OF SHANDS ROAD.
AND IT'S OUTLINED IN RED HERE.
AND IT'S IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY JUST WEST OF INTERSTATE 95.
THE PROPERTIES OUTLINED IN BLUE HERE, AND THE PROPERTY IN BLUE IS PROPOSED TO BE SUBDIVIDED SUCH THAT THE PROPERTY OR THE OUTLINE IN BLACK WOULD BE A NEWLY CREATED LOT.
AND THE PURPOSE OF THE NEWLY CREATED LOT IS FOR A FAMILY MEMBER.
THE APPLICANT'S DAUGHTER AND HER FAMILY TO HAVE A HOUSE TO LIVE IN VERY CLOSE BY.
SO YOU HAVE AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE SHARE, THE ROAD DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE, WHICH IS IN PURPLE.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE WHERE IF THIS LOT IS DIVIDED AS PLANNED, THEN THERE WOULD BE A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY GOING TO THE EXISTING HOUSE WHICH IS ALREADY THERE, EXISTING DRIVEWAY, AND THEN A NEW LITTLE DRIVEWAY GOING TO THE NEW LOT.
OKAY, THIS IS A SCREENSHOT FROM THAT PLAT.
BUT BASICALLY AGAIN, THIS IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT IS PROPOSED BY THIS PLAT.
SO JUST A BRIEF HISTORY OF THIS.
WHO ARE THE APPLICANTS? TIMOTHY AND STACIA.
STACIA LEE. THEY SUBMITTED A PLAT TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY AS I WAS DISCUSSING.
AND SINCE THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REQUIRES CERTAIN STANDARDS AND VARIOUS REQUIREMENTS.
AND THOSE ARE WHAT WE REVIEW WHEN WE REVIEW THESE PLOTS.
AND WITHIN THAT WHOLE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, THERE'S A SPECIFIC CODE SECTION THAT REQUIRES THAT IN ORDER FOR THAT TO BE DIVIDED, THAT THE ROAD HAS TO MEET A VDOT STANDARD, EXCEPT IT CAN BE GRAVEL.
AND THAT BASICALLY MEANS THAT IT WOULD NEED FOR THIS TO GET APPROVED.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO WIDEN THAT ROAD IN TERMS OF GRAVEL, MAYBE HAVE DITCHING.
AND SO THEY HAVE STATED THAT THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THAT REQUIREMENT WOULD POSE A SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE OR HARDSHIP, AND ESPECIALLY TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THIS IS FOR A FAMILY MEMBER TO BUILD A HOME.
AND SO AND AGAIN, I THINK THEY ALL LIVE IN THE HOUSE THAT'S ON THE PROPERTY NOW.
THE APPLICANT WILL COME UP AND AND SHARE MORE AFTER ME, I'M SURE.
SO ARTICLE THERE'S ANOTHER PART OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE THAT ENABLES PEOPLE TO ASK FOR WAIVERS OF CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS WHEN THEY POSE A SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE OR HARDSHIP OR IN UNUSUAL SITUATIONS.
SO AGAIN, THEY JUST WANT TO DIVIDE AND CONVEY A LOT TO THEIR DAUGHTER, AND THEY REQUEST A WAIVE A CERTAIN REQUIREMENT OF WHICH IS ABOUT ROAD CONSTRUCTION STANDARD. AND THEY PROVIDED JUSTIFICATION IN THEIR APPLICATION MATERIALS.
AND I'VE COVERED MOST OF THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS ARE THAT THEY HAVE A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE ONE OTHER PROPERTY OWNER THAT USES THAT ROAD ENTRANCE.
AND THEY AGAIN, THEY THINK THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE OR HARDSHIP.
[00:10:02]
AND THAT'S WHY THEY'VE ASKED FOR A WAIVER.SO THE ACTIONS FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION ARE TO APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST AND EITHER WAY PROVIDE A REASON FOR YOUR DECISION.
OR PROVIDE REASONS FOR YOUR DECISION.
AND THEN YOU ALSO NEED TO DECIDE IF YOU'RE GOING TO INCLUDE CONDITIONS ON THE APPROVAL OR NOT.
AND STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED SOME CONDITIONS, AND WE'LL GET TO THOSE IN A MINUTE.
THE PLAT IS ESSENTIALLY READY TO APPROVE IT, EXCEPT FOR THIS DETAIL THAT WE ARE FOCUSED ON TONIGHT.
SINCE THE WAIVERS WERE FIRST AUTHORIZED, THERE HAVE BEEN PRIOR WAIVERS PRIOR TO TONIGHT, INCLUDING IN LAST YEAR, THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS SIMILAR TO THIS FOR ANOTHER PRIVATE ROAD WHERE A COST WAS CITED AS A SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE OR HARDSHIP.
SO STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS AGAINST THE CRITERIA THAT'S PROVIDED IN THE ORDINANCE.
AND SO WE'RE SUMMARIZING HERE FOR YOU THAT WHAT WE FOUND FROM THE CRITERIA.
STAFF DOESN'T THINK IT'S UNUSUAL SITUATION BECAUSE THE SAME REQUIREMENT APPLIES TO ANYONE ELSE.
SO IF YOU THINK THAT IT IS, THEN THAT WOULD BE A REASON TO TO CONSIDER APPROVING IT.
OF THE OTHER CRITERIA, YOU ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT ILLEGAL.
AND STAFF DOESN'T THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE EITHER.
THERE WERE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
WE DID NOTIFY ALL ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS BY MAILING.
AND SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AGAIN, THIS IS A WAIVER REQUEST.
AND YOU HAVE CRITERIA IN THE ORDINANCE FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO MAKE A DECISION.
SO WE HAVE SAMPLE MOTIONS FOR YOU IN YOUR PACKET TO HELP WITH WORK THROUGH THOSE FINDINGS THAT WHICHEVER WAY YOU GO ON THIS DECISION AND THERE IS A DRAFT RESOLUTION IF YOU CHOOSE TO APPROVE IT, AND A DRAFT RESOLUTION IF YOU CHOOSE TO DENY IT.
FINALLY, THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS ARE VERY BRIEF.
TO JUST KEEP DIVIDING THE PROPERTY IS JUST ONE ADDITIONAL LOT.
THE JUST A STANDARD COMMENT THAT IT IS NOT TO BE IMPROVED WITH ANY STATE OR LOCAL FUNDS. THERE ARE NO FUNDS FOR THIS.
BUT UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR LAW IN THE FUTURE.
AND THEN MAINTENANCE OF THE PRIVATE ROAD SHALL BE GOVERNED BY A RECORDED ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT.
AND THE APPLICANTS HAVE ALREADY RESOLVED THAT BY RECORDING A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT.
SO, AGAIN, THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE ONE OTHER USER OF THE ROAD.
SO THAT PART IS RESOLVED AND THEN THE FINAL CONDITION IS JUST SAYING THAT THE PLOT HAS TO MEET ALL OTHER APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS, AND THEY'LL NEED TO HAVE A NOTE ON THE PLOT IF THIS WAIVER IS APPROVED.
SO THE NOTE WOULD SAY THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL WAIVER FOR THIS REQUEST.
SO THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S COMMENTS.
AND I JUST AT THIS POINT, YOU CAN HAVE THE APPLICANT COME UP IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING.
ALL RIGHT. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME, I'M LEWIS WHITE ATTORNEY AND I REPRESENT THE APPLICANTS WHO ARE TIMOTHY AND STACIA LEE.
WHO HAVE OWNED THE 42 ACRE PARENT [INAUDIBLE] SET 2000 AND HAVE LIVED ON THE PROPERTY FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
THEY RAISED THEIR DAUGHTER, TRINITY WHO THEY PROPOSED TO CONVEY A FIVE ACRE PARCEL SHOWN ON THE PLAT.
[00:15:02]
AND SHE'S MARRIED.TRINITY WORKS AT SOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AND THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN, AND.
ALL OF THEM ARE LIVING WITH THE APPLICANTS AND IN THEIR HOME ON THE 42 ACRE PARCEL.
THE UNIMPROVED ROAD FROM SHANDS ROAD TO THE 42 ACRE PARCEL HAS BEEN THE SAME ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY AND HAS BEEN USED BY THE APPLICANTS TO GAIN ACCESS TO THEIR HOME ON THE LARGE TRACT SINCE THEY PURCHASED IT IN AROUND 2000.
THE APPLICANT, MR. TIMOTHY LEE, WAS A PIPEFITTER AND RETIRED WHEN HE BECAME DISABLED IN 2020, LATE 2021.
MRS. LEE IS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE HOME AND HOMESCHOOLED HER DAUGHTER TRINITY. I'M SORRY, MR AND MRS. LEE. NOW, [INAUDIBLE] TRINITY'S TWO CHILDREN.
WHILE SHE AND HER HUSBAND WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME.
MR. AND MISS LEE HAVE TWO OTHER CHILDREN WHO CURRENTLY LIVE IN THE HOME.
THEY WANT TO PROVIDE A FIVE ACRE LOT TO THEIR DAUGHTER, TRINITY, AND A FAMILY NEARBY, AS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF HER CHILDREN IN THEIR HOME.
IF YOU ALL GRANT THIS REQUEST, AND THE FIVE ACRE PARCEL IS CONVEYED TO TRINITY AND THEY BUILD A HOME, NO MORE PEOPLE WILL BE USING THE EXISTING ROAD THAT ARE NOW USING IT.
MR. LEE IS UPGRADED THE ROAD OVER THE YEARS AND HAS WORKED VERY WELL.
THERE'S A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT IN PLACE, AS MR. GRAVES POINTED OUT.
A COPY OF WHICH YOU HAVE IN YOUR PACKET.
I THINK IT'S PAGES 19 THROUGH 21, WHICH WILL MAKE THE APPLICANTS AND THEIR SIGNS AND THE ADJACENT LANDOWNERS ON SHANDS ROAD, WHO'S PROPERTY THE ACCESS EASEMENT CROSSES RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE AND KEEPING THE EASEMENT OPEN AND PASSABLE AT ALL TIMES.
APPLICANTS REQUEST A WAIVER OF THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE PRIVATE ROAD FROM SHANDS ROAD TO THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION LOT MEET THE DESIGN STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE VDOT SUBDIVISION STREET DESIGN GUIDE.
THE REQUIRED HINDRANCE TO THE VDOT SUBDIVISION STREET DESIGN GUIDE WOULD BE.
THIS ROAD IS A QUARTER OF A MILE OFF OF SHANDS ROAD.
AND HAS BEEN THE ACCESS TO THIS PROPERTY FOR LONG BEFORE THE LEES PURCHASED THIS LAND IN 2000.
THEY RESULT, IF THIS IS DENIED, WOULD PREVENT THE APPLICANTS FROM GIVING THEIR DAUGHTER FIVE ACRES OF THEIR 42 ACRES TO PROVIDE A HOME FOR THEM AND HER HUSBAND, WHO ARE CARED FOR ON A DAILY BASIS BY THE [INAUDIBLE].
IT WOULD IMPOSE A HARDSHIP ON BOTH FAMILIES TO REQUIRE THE DAUGHTER OF APPLICANTS TO FIND ANOTHER RESIDENTIAL BUILDING SITE, A BUILDING LOT IN SOME OTHER LOCATION OFF THE 42 ACRE PARCEL.
YOU COULD IMAGINE THAT THIS IS A CLOSE KNIT FAMILY.
IF ALL OF THEM ARE LIVING TOGETHER AT THE PRESENT TIME.
FOR THESE REASONS, WE SUBMIT THAT THIS IS AN UNUSUAL SITUATION WHERE STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE GENERAL REGULATION IN THIS ORDINANCE WOULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE OR HARDSHIP.
AND WE ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS SUBDIVISION WAIVER REQUEST.
[00:20:05]
AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANTS, THEY ARE HERE AND WOULD BE GLAD TO SPEAK TO ANY ISSUES YOU MAY OR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE OF THEM.ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT? ONE OF ONE OTHER THING.
THE CONDITIONS THAT MR. GRAVES ARE. INDICATED WOULD BE HE, THE PLANNING DIRECTOR WOULD RECOMMEND BE PLACED ON THIS WAIVER.
ARE ACCEPTABLE AND REASONABLE.
SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT? OKAY, APPARENTLY NOT SO.
THEN I GUESS WE'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE COMMISSIONERS THEN.
IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO MAKE A MOTION OR PUBLIC COMMENT.
PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, MADAM CHAIR, REALLY? I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE WAIVER.
REQUESTED AN APPLICATION NUMBER SW-23-04 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE GENERAL REGULATIONS IN THIS ORDINANCE WOULD RESULT IN A SUBSTANTIAL INJUSTICE OR HARDSHIP, SPECIFICALLY DUE TO THE COST OF THE ANY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS FOR THAT FOR THAT ROAD THERE IS NO PRESENT PREJUDICE TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE SURROUNDING CITIZENS, AND THIS APPROVAL WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF IN THE STAFF REPORT.
. OKAY. WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.
[COMMUNICATIONS]
SO WE CAN MOVE STRAIGHT INTO OUR COMMUNICATIONS FROM STAFF.[INAUDIBLE] . OKAY, SO I GUESS IT'S TIME FOR COMMUNICATIONS.
YEP. SO REGARDING ACTIONS OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.
THE MEETING FOR NEXT MONTH IS ALSO CANCELED.
THERE WERE NO REQUESTS BY THE DEADLINE FOR BCA.
NO, WE DO HAVE A CASE FOR NEXT MONTH AT THE BCA.
ANY NOTICE ABOUT CANCELLATION WILL BE POSTED AS REQUIRED.
BUT I BELIEVE WE HAVE A CASE FOR NEXT MONTH.
ACTIONS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
WE PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKET A COPY UNDER TAB FIVE OF A RECAP FROM THEIR LAST MEETING, AND THERE WERE NO PLANNING CASES AT THAT MEETING.
THERE WILL BE ONE PLANNING CASE AT THEIR MEETING NEXT WEEK.
THAT'S ABOUT THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR THE CHILD CARE.
THE SECOND ONE. AS FOR UPCOMING CASES FOR MARCH 2024, WE HAVE FIVE SCHEDULED.
PLEASE COME AND STRAP YOURSELVES IN.
AND IT'S A WIDE VARIETY OF STUFF, TOO.
AND YOU'RE EVERYBODY'S VOTE IS NEEDED.
THAT IS FOR THE CONFERENCE OF PLAN UPDATE PROCESS PREPARATION FOR JOINT WORK SESSION.
SO UNDER TAB TWO, I'M SORRY, UNDER TAB FIVE WE HAVE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE DRAFT AGENDA FOR THE JOINT WORK SESSION MEETING. THAT WILL BE A JOINT MEETING WITH THE BOARD WITH BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE BOARD.
[00:25:07]
AND IT WILL BE INFORMATIONAL, AND YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO PROVIDE YOUR INPUT ON SOME QUESTIONS THAT THEY WILL ASK SOME HIGH LEVEL QUESTIONS THAT ARE.SO AGAIN, ALSO EVERY PERSON'S VOTE IS NEEDED, IS DESIRED.
SO PLEASE COME. YOU ALSO HAVE A COPY OF THE TIMELINE FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE PROCESS.
THAT'S THE COLORFUL THING THAT STRETCHES OUT TO AUGUST 2025.
WE ALL SO WE ALL HAVE A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF US.
THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE JOINT MEETINGS AND WITH THE BOARD, AND THERE WILL BE MORE WORK SESSIONS WITH JUST THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WHERE THE PLANNING COMMISSION WILL BE REVIEWING DOCUMENTS, GIVING FEEDBACK.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF WORK.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A CHANCE TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTY.
SO, AGAIN, SO THE MAIN THING, THE NEXT THING IS THE JOINT WORK SESSION ON MARCH 21ST.
IT'S ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S CALENDAR.
AND THAT IS BEFORE OUR NORMALLY SCHEDULED MEETING.
SO WE'LL SEE YOU HERE ON THAT DAY.
YEAH, AND THAT'S WHY I SAY WE'LL SEND A REMINDER.
I'M FORGETTING THE EXACT TIME RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, BUT WE'LL GET YOU A REMINDER.
THAT'S ALL THAT WE HAD PREPARED FOR YOU.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS OR COMMENTS FOR STAFF? THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE, I KNOW IN THE PAST WE USED TO HAVE, LIKE A SECTION BACK HERE FOR THE UPCOMING STUFF FOR THE NEXT MONTH, BUT, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST LIKE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE CASES WOULD BE.
IT'S KIND OF NICE BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF US LIKE TO ACTUALLY RIDE AROUND AND LOOK AT THE SITES OF THE LOCATIONS, AND WE DON'T NORMALLY GET THE FULL PACKET UNTIL THE THURSDAY JUST PRIOR TO THE MEETING.
IS THAT INTENTIONAL THAT ARE WE OR SHOULD WE EXPECT TO START GETTING THOSE AND SEEING THOSE? IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE, WE CAN DO SOMETHING.
IT IS WORK INTENSIVE TO HAVE AND A LOT OF PAPER TO PROVIDE COPIES OF STUFF FOR UPCOMING CASES, BUT WE COULD DO SOME KIND OF LIKE A ONE PAGE, ONE PAGE THING TO GIVE YOU THE PREVIEW OF WHAT'S COMING UP.
IF NOT. YEAH. I'M JUST THINKING MAYBE FIVE CASES.
SO IT'S LIKE IF I DON'T GET THIS TILL THURSDAY, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M OKAY.
ONE CASE IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR TOWNHOUSES.
GO TO THE INTERSECTION OF MONROE AVENUE AND BOUDER AND LOOK AT THE TREES THERE.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO TOWNHOUSES.
AND THERE'S A BORROW PIT PROPOSED AT THE INTERSECTION OF SANDY RIDGE AND RUFFIN.
AND THEN THE OTHER, THERE'S TWO SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
THEY'LL JUST, YOU KNOW, HOME OCCUPATIONS AND ACCESSORY BUILDING.
AND THEN THERE'S DESTINATION CHURCH PRESCHOOL AND CHILDCARE REQUEST.
AND SO THAT IS PROPOSED AT THE DESTINATION CHURCH IN THE CROSSING SHOPPING CENTER.
SO THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR CHURCH THERE, AND THEY WANT TO ADD A PRESCHOOL AND WITH DAYCARE.
THAT'LL BE A SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
I HAVE A COMMENT ON THE TOWNHOUSES.
I THINK ESSER TOWNHOUSES THAT WE APPROVED ACROSS FROM BIRCHES ESTATE, LAKEWOOD TOWNHOUSES.
WHEN WE HAD APPROVAL FOR IT WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE MUCH LAND DISTURBANCE.
AND BOY, IF THEY HAD TO MOVE SOME DIRT TO LEVEL THAT PLACE OUT.
YEP. THEY HAVE A SITE PLAN AND REVIEW WHERE THEY'RE REVISING THEIR PLANS A LITTLE BIT. AND SO THEY'RE STILL IN THE YOU'RE BACK IN THE APPROVAL PROCESS, BUT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GO AND MOVE THE DIRT AROUND UNDER THEIR PLAN APPROVAL THAT THEY HAVE. THEY'RE JUST HAVEN'T STARTED CONSTRUCTION YET BECAUSE THEY'RE BACK IN THE REVIEW PROCESS.
I NOTICED THIS WEEK THERE WAS A COMMENT ON FACEBOOK BY SOMEONE OF CONCERN IS LIKE WHO? I WON'T SAY THE NAME THAT THEY CALLED US, BUT ARE WE THE GROUP THAT APPROVED FOR 100 TOWNHOUSES TO BE DONE WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS? I'M LIKE, I KNOW THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE PROJECT WE APPROVED.
AND NO. AND THEY INDICATED THAT IT WASN'T DIDN'T EVEN COME UP.
[00:30:02]
NOBODY EVEN KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.YEAH, BUT EVEN THAT I DON'T THINK IT WAS 100 I THAT'S ONE OF MY NOTES.
I'VE GOT TO MYSELF TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT CASE.
IT WASN'T THAT MANY TOWNHOUSES THAT WE DID HAVE THE VDOT REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
THERE'S THE LAKEWOOD WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH PUBLIC ROADS INSIDE OF IT.
SO WILL THE? MOST LIKELY SO WILL ANY FUTURE ONES.
WHERE DID YOU SAY THIS BORROW PIT WAS GOING TO BE? IT'S ON ROUTE TEN.
I'M FORGETTING THE ACTUAL NAMES, BUT IT'S THE FIRST MAIN ROAD SOUTH IN THE COUNTY.
WHEN YOU COME IN AROUND TEN FROM HOPEWELL AND KEEP GOING AND THERE'S A MAIN ROAD SOUTH.
YEAH. RUFFIN OKAY, BUT IS IT WHERE IS IT? CLOSE TO ROUTE 10 OR CLOSE SOUTH OF ROUTE 10.
SO YOU'LL SEE TREES AT THAT INTERSECTION, BUT SOUTH OF THERE.
IS THAT WHY THEY'VE ALREADY CLEARED ALL THAT LAND? THEY CLEARED SOME LAND THERE.
YEAH. SO IT'S BETWEEN ROUTE TEN AND SANDY RIDGE.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. NO.
THANK YOU. CLARIFICATIONS IT'S HELPFUL.
OKAY. THAT'S EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT.
WE HAVE A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT TO ADJOURN.
[INAUDIBLE].
