[A. Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America]

I APPRECIATE EVERYONE COMING OUT TONIGHT
[B. Adoption of Agenda - Additions or Deletions]
IS THE ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA.ANY ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS DOCTOR AGENDA IS PRESENTED.
SECOND, MR. FOX, MR. MABE, MADAM CHAIR, MRS. OATES.
[C. Presentation - Shenandoah National Park- Superintendent Patrick "Pat" Kenney]
ON THE AGENDA IS PRESENTATION TO CHANDELIER NATIONAL PARK SUPERINTENDENT, PATRICK KIM.UM, IT'S A REAL PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH YOU TONIGHT.
I AM THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK.
I, UH, JUST ARRIVED HERE LAST OCTOBER, SO I'M STILL GETTING MY FEET UNDER ME, SO TO SPEAK, UH, IN THIS, UH, BRAVE NEW WORLD.
SO TO SPEAK THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, UH, WITH COVID-19.
I HAVE TO SAY THAT, UH, BEING A SUPERINTENDENT OF THE NATIONAL PARK IS AN HONOR, AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE LANDED AT SHENANDOAH.
UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME PERSONALLY, I'VE BEEN AROUND THE SERVICE FOR 30 PLUS YEARS.
I'VE MOVED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
MY LAST ASSIGNMENT, I'M COMING HERE FROM YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WHERE I SERVED AS THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT.
PRIOR TO THAT, I WAS A SUPERINTENDENT AT CAPE LOOKOUT NATIONAL SEASHORE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
SO I'VE BEEN AROUND A BIT, UM, AND A REAL PLEASURE TO, TO LAND AT AN ICONIC PARK LIKE SHENANDOAH.
IT'S REALLY NICE TO BE IN A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS THE PARK AND APPRECIATES THE PARK AND LOVES TO COME OUT AND VISIT THE PARK.
I HAVE TO SAY LOOKING BACK AT 2020, WE HAVE TO OBVIOUSLY ADMIT THAT IT WAS A REALLY INTERESTING YEAR DEALING WITH THE PANDEMIC.
UM, BUT WHAT WAS SURPRISING TO ME, UM, IS WE SAW A REALLY HIGH VISITATION THROUGHOUT NATIONAL PARKS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
UM, AND SHENANDOAH WAS ONE OF THEM IN 2020 SHENANDOAH ENDED THE YEAR WITH A VISITATION THAT WAS 15% OVER 2019.
AND I WILL REMIND YOU ALL THAT.
WE WERE CLOSED FOR SIX WEEKS AND IN THE EARLY PART OF THE SEASON.
AND, UH, AND THEN, UM, AS, AS I MENTIONED, I ARRIVED IN OCTOBER.
WELL, OCTOBER WAS JUST OFF THE CHARTS, UH, BY ANY STANDARD, UH, SHENANDOAH SAW A VISITATION THAT EXCEEDED 19 LEVELS BY 53%.
THAT'S QUITE ASTOUNDING TO THINK ABOUT CONSIDERING WE WERE CLOSED FOR SIX WEEKS.
UM, I WAS TELLING MR. DALEY THAT, UH, I RECOGNIZE THAT THAT PUTS HIM, THAT PUTS STRAIN ON LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
UM, I INTENTIONALLY DROVE OUT OF THE NORTH ENTRANCE OF THE PARK ON AN OCTOBER WEEKEND, CAME INTO FRONT ROYAL AT A CUP OF COFFEE AND TRIED TO GET BACK INTO THE PARK, THROUGH THE NORTH ENTRANCE OF THE PARK AND, UH, EXPERIENCED AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET THROUGH YOUR TOWN AND, AND BACK INTO THE PARK.
SO I FEEL LIKE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR SOME DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN.
AND, UH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TRY TO FIGURE OUT SOME IDEAS AND HOW WE IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW INTO THE PARK AND THROUGH YOUR COMMUNITY.
UM, THERE'S A LOT OF ECONOMIC BENEFIT COMING TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT SURROUND THE PARK.
UM, BUT I THINK I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME IMPACTS AS WELL.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE IMPORTANT.
AND ONE OF MY PHILOSOPHIES IS WE CAN'T MANAGE THE PARK AS AN ISLAND.
WE HAVE TO WORK WITH OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE AND INTRODUCE MYSELF AND SAY HELLO AND START THAT DIALOGUE.
UM, I WILL TELL YOU, 2021 IS SETTING UP FOR A BUSY YEAR ALREADY.
UH, WE SAW REALLY HIGH VISITATION AND IN APRIL, UM, YOU KNOW, COMPARED TO OTHER YEARS, I DON'T HAVE THE STATS, BUT WE'RE SEEING HIGH LEVELS.
OUR DEMAND IS UP TALKING TO OUR PARTNER, DELAWARE, NORTH CORPORATION THAT RUNS THE COMMERCIAL VENTURES IN THE PARK, THE LODGE
[00:05:01]
AND THE RESTAURANTS THERE, THEIR DEMAND FOR RESERVATIONS IS UP.OUR CAMPGROUND RESERVATIONS ARE UP.
SO WE'RE SEEING, UH, AGAIN, THAT DEMAND BEING HIGH TO COME TO SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK.
AGAIN, WE'RE HERE TO WORK WITH YOU, THE COMMUNITIES AND, AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT SOLUTIONS THAT CAN HELP.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT QUICKLY.
UM, SO YOU'RE AWARE OF THEM, UM, THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE PARK.
THERE'S SOME, SOME GOOD THINGS HAPPENING.
UH, MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SKY LAND.
UM, IT IS, UH, THE TERRACE THERE, THAT'S OFF THE LODGE BUILDING.
THE DINING ROOM, UH, IS UNDER MAJOR RENOVATION.
IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSED A LOT OF THE SEASON THIS YEAR.
UM, WE'RE HAVING SOME DRAINAGE ISSUES WITH THAT, THAT BUILDING THE FOUNDATION OF THE BUILDING WAS BEING IMPACTED.
UH, THE PROJECT TURNED INTO A BIGGER PROJECT THAN WE ANTICIPATED.
UM, AND IT HAS STRETCHED THE SCHEDULE INTO THE SUMMER.
SOMETHING WE ARE REALLY TRYING HARD TO AVOID, BUT IT'S, IT'S JUST UNAVOIDABLE.
THE, THE, THE PRE-CONTACT THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING WAS TODAY.
SO CONSTRUCTION WILL BE STARTING SOON.
UM, UH, THE PRO THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS GOING TO BE VERY NICE THOUGH.
UH, THERE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TWO SEASONS IN NATIONAL PARKS, THERE'S WINTER, AND THEN THERE'S ROAD CONSTRUCTION SEASON.
UM, WE WILL HAVE ROAD CONSTRUCTION AGAIN IN SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK, A MILEPOST 50 THROUGH MILEPOST, 65 WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION THIS YEAR.
AGAIN, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO MINIMIZE TRAFFIC FLOW THROUGH THAT AREA.
UH, AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE WEEKENDS, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE GREAT AMERICAN OUTDOORS ACT THAT WAS PASSED AT THE END OF THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.
UH, THIS IS A FUNDING SOURCE THAT IS FOCUSED ON PUBLIC LANDS, SUCH AS NATIONAL PARKS.
IT IS MONIES THAT IS BEING DIRECTED FROM OIL AND GAS SALES, UM, THAT PROJECTING THAT PARKS AND OTHER PUBLIC LANDS COULD SEE, UH, SOMETHING IN THE ORDER OF $6.3 BILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS FOR ADDRESSING THE MAINTENANCE BACKLOG AND NATIONAL PARKS AND OTHER, AND US FOREST SERVICE LANDS AND FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE PLANS.
SHENANDOAH HAS BEEN VERY FORTUNATE.
WE'VE CAPTURED FOR FISCAL YEAR 21.
WE'VE CAPTURED JUST SHY OF $30 MILLION, UH, OF THAT MONEY.
WELL, ONE OF THE PROJECTS WILL BE FOCUSED ON SKYLINE DRIVE.
MOST OF THAT WORK THIS YEAR WILL BE IN THE DESIGN PHASE AND CONSTRUCTION MOST LIKELY WILL HAPPEN IN, UH, IN OUR 22 SEASON.
UM, WE'VE ALSO CAPTURED SOME MONEY TO, TO, TO, TO DEMOLISH SOME BUILDINGS THAT ARE NO LONGER NEEDED IN THE PARK.
AGAIN, THAT'S, UH, ABOUT, UH, ALMOST A $30 MILLION WINDFALL THAT'LL RESULT IN MONEY COMING INTO THE COMMUNITIES THROUGH JOBS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WE'RE POSITIONED WELL FOR THE OUT YEARS.
THE FUNDING SOURCE ALLOWS PROJECTS TO BE SUBMITTED UP THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 25, THE FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR, UH, WE'VE SUBMITTED PROJECTS TOTALLY TO $250 MILLION FOR SHENANDOAH.
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE WHERE THEY'LL SEE THAT KIND OF MONEY, BUT WE, WE ARE WELL-POSITIONED TO CAPTURE SOME OF THOSE MONIES TO DEAL WITH THE MAINTENANCE BACKLOG.
IF YOU'RE NOT REAL FAMILIAR WITH THE LAW, UH, SENATOR WARNER FROM VIRGINIA WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR SPONSORS, UM, AND HAS TAKEN A HIGH INTEREST IN SHENANDOAH AND WHAT FUNDS WE MAY SEE.
LET'S JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS.
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
AS I SAID EARLIER IN MY OPENING REMARKS, BEING A NATIONAL PARK, WE CAN'T MANAGE IT AS AN ISLAND.
UM, AND THERE ARE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITIES TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE PARK SERVICE AND COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO ISSUES AND, AND FORM PARTNERSHIPS THAT MAY HELP THE COMMUNITIES AS WELL.
UM, I'VE BEEN OUT ON THE ROAD A LOT IN THIS SPRING.
UM, WE'RE TRYING TO REINITIATE, UH, A GROUP CALLED THE BLUE RIDGE COMMITTEE THAT THE PARK HAS HAD FOR SOME TIME.
IT INVOLVES ALL THE EIGHT COUNTIES THAT ABUT THE PARK, AND WE'RE WORKING TO GET THAT MEETING IT'S SCHEDULED, I BELIEVE FOR THE 27TH OF MAY MR. DALEY'S ON THE INVITE LIST.
AND I KNOW HE'S, HE'S ALREADY RSVP TO COME, SO THAT'S GREAT.
THERE WAS A GROUP CALLED CELEBRATE SHENANDOAH THAT THAT IS A MORE TOURISM FOCUSED.
AND, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO REINITIATE THAT GROUP AS WELL TO GET THE DIALOGUE GOING WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND THE COUNTIES, UM, TO TALK ABOUT TOURISM.
UH, THERE ARE, UH, MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
I DO BELIEVE IN DIALOGUE WITH, WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND I HOPE WE CAN KEEP THOSE RELATIONSHIPS STRONG.
I KNOW JEN FLYNN, MY PREDECESSOR HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES, JIM NORTHRUP BEFORE.
UM, AND I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT MY COMMITMENT IS TO KEEP THOSE RELATIONSHIPS GOOD AND STRONG AND COME BACK ANYTIME YOU NEED TO.
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT ANY ISSUES YOU WANT TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE, IF I MAY, THEY ARE OPEN, THEY'LL BE OPENING MORE AS, AS THE SUMMER.
UM, LIKE MANY PEOPLE, THE SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK ASSOCIATION IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH EMPLOYEES RIGHT NOW GETTING EMPLOYEES.
[00:10:01]
THERE'LL BE EXTENDING THEIR HOURS AS THE SUMMER COMES.I MIGHT, WE GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.
I'LL LEAVE, I'LL LEAVE SOME CARDS WITH EMILY, IF THAT'S OKAY.
I'VE GOT MY RIGHTS, GOT MY PHONE NUMBER AND MY CELL NUMBER EMAIL ADDRESS.
I KNOW IN OCTOBER, SOMEBODY POSTED THAT WE NEEDED A CHICK-FIL-A AND, UH, I, I THINK THAT THEY HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD.
I'M A, I'M A REAL FAN OF CHICK-FIL-A.
AND I SIT IN LINE AT CHICK-FIL-A AND I'M A MARVEL AT HOW EASY THEY MAKE IT SEEM.
UM, AND I, I JOKED WITH THE HEAD OF OUR FEE PROGRAM AND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE THAT WE NEED TO GO STUDY CHICK-FILET AND MAYBE HIRE SOMEBODY FROM CHICK-FIL-A.
I, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE ACTUALLY HAVING A MEETING, THERE'S A PROGRAM TO LOOK AT CONGESTION AND NATIONAL PARKS.
UM, IT'S, THERE'S SOME MONIES THAT ARE TIED TO THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, UH, THAT COME TO FEDERAL LANDS.
UM, WE'RE, WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO TRY TO SEEK SOME OF THOSE DOLLARS AND GET SOME EXPERTISE.
UM, THERE ALSO, I WILL TELL YOU, I WORKED ON THIS ISSUE IN YELLOWSTONE.
WE HAD A COMMUNITY CALLED WEST YELLOWSTONE MONTANA.
UM, OUR WEST ENTRANCE OF THE PARK WAS EXTREMELY CONGESTED.
WE WERE BACKING TRAFFIC UP ON, ON BUSY WEEKENDS AND WEEKDAYS, AND, UH, WE'RE ABLE TO WORK OUT AND GET A GRANT.
WE STUDIED THE ISSUE, UH, WITH A CONSULTANT AND WE CAME UP A SERIES OF SOLUTIONS THAT, THAT THE PARK COULD, UH, IMPLEMENT IT AS WELL AS THE TOWN COULD IMPLEMENT.
AND THEN THERE ARE DOLLARS THAT COMES THROUGH THAT FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCE THAT COMMUNITIES CAN APPLY FOR THROUGH THE FEDERAL LANDS ACCESS PROGRAM.
IT'S USUALLY ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE DEITIES.
UM, SO THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE COULD HAVE SOME DIALOGUE ABOUT AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT SOME SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
IT WAS SO CONGESTED IN OUR TOWN AND, YOU KNOW, THE GPS HAS ROTATION MUSICALS INTO THE SIDE ROADS, AND IT WAS NOT PRETTY, YOU ARE FACE STORY POST.
WE ALL GOT TAGGED AND YEAH, WELL, LIKE I SAID, I'LL LEAVE EMILY SOME CARDS AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO GET TOGETHER AND WORK WITH YOU ALL OR YOUR STAFF, AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT SOME IDEAS THAT MAYBE WE CAN COME UP SO DIFFERENT WAYS.
UM, AND WE CAN SHARE SOME NUMBERS WITH YOU IN A FUTURE DATE.
UH, THERE'S SOME STUDIES THAT GET DONE EVERY ON AN ANNUAL CYCLE THAT SHOW THE ECONOMIC IMPACT.
TYPICALLY FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT'S DIRECTLY SPENDING YOU'RE, UH, COMING TO A PARK, IT RESULTS IN LIKE A $10 TO $12 TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT.
SO I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
AND NOW WE'RE AT THE PUBLIC COMMENT TIME.
TIME IS A 60 MINUTE TIME PERIOD WHERE EACH PERSON THAT SIGNS UP HAS A THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT, UM, TO ADDRESS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A PART OF A PUBLIC HEARING.
ALL COMMENTS WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, NOT TO THE AUDIENCE OF YOUR FELLOW SPEAKERS.
THERE SHOULD BE NO APPLAUSE FOR ME OR OTHER AWFUL DISRUPTION TO THE PROCEEDINGS.
THE CHAIRMAN MAY ASK FOR A SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR COMMENTS MADE BY SPEAKERS, PLACARDS POSTERS, AND OTHER MEANS OF VISUAL DISPLAY OF COMMENTS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED IN THE BOARD MEETING ROOM.
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE INFORMATION OR MATERIALS USED AS PART OF A FACULTY PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD AT THE HEARING.
THE BOARD WILL NOT TOLERATE PERSONAL TAX BY ANYONE OR ANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROCEEDING.
ANYONE WHO VIOLATES THE GUIDELINE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, THEY BE ASKED TO LEAVE BY THE CHAIRMAN.
IS THE CHEROKEE, HAS ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? NOT FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD? NO.
IS, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME SECOND? OKAY.
[E. Reports - Board Members, Interim County Administrator, Interim County Attorney]
ON TO BOARD REPORTS.MR. PARK, MR. FOX,
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO REPORT MR.
[00:15:02]
MRS. MAY IS A VERY BUSY MONTH.I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE YOUNG PEOPLE GRADUATING, UM, ACTUALLY REAL GRADUATIONS, SMILES AND PHOTOGRAPHS, NASLUND SMILES.
UM, AND I'VE ENJOYED IT SPRING IN THE VALLEY IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TIME HERE.
AND IT'S NO WONDER THAT THE PARK IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE BECAUSE IT'S GORGEOUS.
SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET OUT AND TAKE PART.
SOMETIMES WE LIVE HERE AND WE FORGET ABOUT OUR ASSETS AND OUR RESOURCES, BUT IF YOU LIVE HERE AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN UP TO THE PARK, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO OFF AND JUST LOOK AT THE BUS STOP.
UH, I'M A LITTLE BEHIND, BUT WE DID NOT HAVE BOARD MEETINGS.
UM, THE WEEK, THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY, IF I HAVE THIS CORRECT, WITHOUT MY CALENDAR HERE WAS TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK AND ALSO NURSES APPRECIATION WEEK.
AND, UH, I HOPE EVERYONE TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO THANK THOSE THAT THEY KNOW IN THOSE TWO PROFESSIONS.
SO WE CERTAINLY COULDN'T DO WITHOUT EITHER ONE LAST WEEK WAS POLICE MEMORIAL WEEK WHERE WE HONORED THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
AND, UH, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE RADIGAN FAMILY, THE FUR FAMILY, JEANNIE DEAN, AND EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN PUTTING ON A REALLY NICE MEMORIAL SERVICE DOWN AT THE GAZEBO LAST THURSDAY.
UM, IT WAS, UM, THERE WERE GOOD SPEAKERS THERE AND IT WAS, UM, I CAN SAY AS A FAMILY MEMBER OF A FALLEN OFFICER, IT WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
UM, LEAST WE NEVER FORGET THEM.
AND THANK YOU TO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT TAKE CARE OF US EVERY DAY, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
IF I HAVE IT RIGHT, CHIEF, DO I HAVE THE RIGHT? OKAY.
WE HOPE WE NEVER NEED THOSE GUYS AND GIRLS, BUT, UM, IF YOU SEE HIM, GIVE HIM A THANK YOU.
THEY DO A LOT OF WORKFORCE AS WELL.
AND I TOO MET WITH, UM, MR. FOX AND THE VOLUNTEERS AT A COMPANY TO IT, THEIR BEAUTIFUL NEW BUILDING.
UM, THEY ARE AGES TO GET IN THERE AND START FUNDRAISING.
AND AGAIN, I WILL PUT A PLUG IN, IF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT VOLUNTEERING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO FIREFIGHTING.
THEY, THEY COULD USE A LOT OF HELP, ONE, UM, ADMINISTRATIVE END AND FUNDRAISING, UM, EACH OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN THE COUNTY.
AND WHEN YOU HELP THEM, YOU'RE HELPING YOUR NEIGHBOR AND YOURSELF AS WELL.
SO I, I KNOW PEOPLE GET TIRED OF HEARING ME SAY THAT, BUT, UM, THERE IT'S A GOOD ORGANIZATION TO VOLUNTEER WITH.
AND OUR BROADBAND COMMITTEE HAS BEEN MEETING.
WE WILL MEET AGAIN, THIS THURSDAY, WE'RE WORKING DILIGENTLY AND WE HAVE SOME VERY GOOD PEOPLE ON THAT COMMITTEE.
I'M SEEKING, SORRY, IT'S DISTRACTING.
UM, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU EITHER HAVE VERY SLOW SERVICE OR YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SERVICE OR YOU HAVE SERVICE THAT DISAPPEARS WHEN IT RAINS.
AND I, I I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.
AND I WILL ASSURE YOU WE'RE WE ARE WORKING ON IT.
IT'S JUST A SLOW PROCESS, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON IT.
MA'AM UM, WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK TO, UH, WRAP UP THIS FISCAL YEAR AND MR. MICK, LIBERTY'S MAKING, LOOKING AT TRANSFERS IN THAT YOU HAVE TRANSFERS THE SEASONING.
YOU'LL HAVE SOME, THE FIRST MEETING IN JUNE, AND THEN MORE ON THE SECOND MEETING TRYING TO WRAP UP THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THE AUDIT.
IF YOU WILL BE IN A POSITION, WE CAN HAVE THE AUDIT EARLIER AND HAVE THAT AUDIT TO YOU BEFORE YOU START YOUR BUDGET.
NEXT YEAR, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.
HE'S ALSO BUSY COORDINATING OUR I T EFFORTS, AND WE'RE GETTING THAT EVERYTHING BACK UP ONLINE, AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN, OUR ADS FOR IT, PERSONNEL THAT THE BOARD HAS APPROVED.
THEY WILL BE PUBLISHED TOMORROW.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT TOMORROW.
WE'LL START RECRUITING FOR THAT.
ALSO THE CONVENIENCE CENTERS WERE OPEN LAST SUNDAY AND MR. BARRY SAID WE HAD GOOD RESULTS IN THAT THINGS LOOKED GOOD THERE.
SO THAT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
AND WE'LL SEE HOW THAT CONTINUES AND LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER OPTIONS THAT THE BOARD MENTIONED LAST WEEK AT THE WORK SESSION.
AND THAT I'D LIKE TO ASK, UH, LIEUTENANT FARREL, IF HE WOULD UPDATE US ON THE, UH, GOVERNOR'S ORDER THAT TAKES EFFECT THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
[00:20:01]
MADAM CHAIR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN UP HERE.
SO CATCHING UP, UM, THE GOVERNOR IN HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER, UH, 72 RECOGNIZE THAT ON MAY 13TH, THE CDC, UH, DID ADVISE THAT IT'S NOW SAFE TO NO LONGER WEAR A MASK UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
AND THAT'S KIND OF CAUSED SOME CONFUSION BECAUSE HERE IN THE COMMONWEALTH, THE GOVERNOR STILL REQUIRES US TO FOLLOW HIS GUIDANCE UNTIL MAY 28TH.
SO ON MAY 28, HIS GUIDANCE WILL TAKE EFFECT THAT LEADS YOU ESSENTIALLY TO FOLLOWING THE CDC GUIDANCE.
UM, BUT WE'RE HEADED THAT WAY.
SO AS SOON AS I FINISHED DIGESTING ALL OF THE TABS, THE ORDER IS VERY SHORT, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION THAT IS REFERENCED, UH, WITH THE CDC GUIDANCE.
DALEY AND YOU, AND, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS IN VIRGINIA.
IT'S THE 28TH, UM, HERE, UH, LOCALLY ON THE 1ST OF JUNE, WE WILL TRANSITION, UH, OUR GYM, WHICH HAS BEEN THE COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINIC BACK TO PARKS AND RECREATION.
THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WILL STILL CONDUCT COVID CLINICS AT 15TH STREET.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THEM INTO THE CAFETERIA ON WEDNESDAYS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE.
AND THEN ONCE WE FINISHED THE MONTH OF JUNE, WE'LL HAVE TO SEE, UH, WITH, UH, VDH AND VALLEY HEALTH BY THEN, WE HOPE TO THEN TRANSITION THE VACCINATION PROCESS INTO THE VALLEY HEALTH CLINICS, UH, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ITSELF, AND THEN, UH, THE LOCAL PHARMACIES, UM, WITH THE TRANSFERS THAT YOU ALL APPROVED TONIGHT.
UH, SOME OF THOSE ARE THE FINAL CARES ACT TRANSFERS.
SO ONCE THAT OCCURS AND MR. FLETCHER POST THOSE IN THE SYSTEM, HE AND I WILL GET BACK TOGETHER.
AND THEN NEXT MONTH I'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU ALL A REPORT OUT THAT WE ARE CLOSED OUT WITH THE CARES ACT AND WE'RE READY FOR THE AUDIT.
AND THAT'S THAT 7 MILLION, UH, THAT WE HAD FOR THE CARES ACT MONEY.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR NOW? JUST, JUST ONE, PERHAPS.
SO, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IF WE'VE HAD OUR SHOT, THEN THE NECESSITY OF WEARING A MASK IS NOPE, NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
DOES THAT, IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT ON MAY 28TH? THAT'S WHEN THE GUIDANCE FOR VACCINATED FOLKS TAKES EFFECT ANY ESSENTIALLY THAT'S IT.
IF YOU'VE BEEN VACCINATED, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WEAR A MASK ANYMORE.
UH, AND THEN THERE ARE A FEW CONDITIONS.
UH, REALLY THE BIGGEST CONDITIONS ARE, ARE IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM WHERE, UH, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WILL STILL NEED TO WEAR MASKS.
UM, MR. FARROW, SIR, DO YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY VACCINATED IN THE COUNTY? I DON'T HAVE THAT EXACT DATA RIGHT NOW.
GREEN IS, UH, IN THE, ARE WE BEHIND OR ARE WE AHEAD OF THE CURVE OR DO YOU, DO YOU HAVE ANY GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OFF? I THINK FOR THIS AREA, WE ARE AVERAGE.
I'LL CALL IT THE VALLEY RIGHT OUT HERE IN THE, IN THE VALLEY.
UM, AND THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN HAVE BECAUSE AGAIN, WHEN PEOPLE COME TO WARREN COUNTY TO GET VACCINATED, IT'S NOT ALL WARREN COUNTY RESIDENTS IN THE DATA BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE CAME FROM THE OUTSIDE TO GET VACCINES HERE.
SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO REALLY SAY EXACTLY HOW MANY FROM OUR LOCALITY.
I CAN ONLY SAY THAT IF YOU, THAT YOU NEED OR WANT A VACCINATION, YOU SHOULD GO.
AND IT IS VERY AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
SO YEAH, YOU CAN GET IT THROUGH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OR SIGNING UP ON THE STATE SITE TOO, TO GET THE VACCINE.
FINALLY, MA'AM I WOULD REMIND YOU THAT WORK IS GOING TO BEGINNING ON THE HAPPY CREEK ROAD IMPROVEMENTS AND THAT BETWEEN JUNE, APPROXIMATELY JUNE 17 AND AUGUST AND PARTS OF THE ROAD MAY BE CLOSED AND THAT WILL DEPEND, BUT PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THAT AND KEEP THAT IN MIND.
ONE MORE THING I HAD FORGOTTEN TO ASK, BUT I UNDERSTOOD THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE FLYOVER AT ROCKLAND ROAD HAS BEEN SET BY THE DOT.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THAT? I BELIEVE THAT IS JUNE 17 AND I BELIEVE IT'S GONNA BE A VIRTUAL IF I UNDERSTAND THAT, RIGHT, GERALD TERRAN, I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE VIRTUAL.
AND I BELIEVE IT'S LIKE FOUR TO SEVEN, I THINK CHECK THE TIME FOR SURE.
MA'AM BUT UH, IT'S GOING TO BE A VIRTUAL ON THE 17TH OF JUNE.
MS. KIM, MRS. SORACHI PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE
[00:25:01]
FOR THOSE.I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF INTEREST TO BOARD COUNTY PARTICIPANTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THAT.
MR. HAM, I HAVE NO REPORT IS CORRECT.
I THINK WE CAN GET THROUGH AND THEN BE ON TOP WITH THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[I1. Ordinance to Delay Penalties and Interest upon Certain Local Taxes - Ed Daley]
IS ORDINANCE TO DELAY PENALTIES AND INTEREST UPON CERTAIN LOCAL TAXES AND STUFF DAILY.THE EXTENDED QUEST WAS TO EXTEND THE DUE DATE ON TAXES UNTIL JUNE 22ND WITH NO PENALTY WITH NO PENALTY IN.
SO THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD ON THIS? SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS THAT THE, HAVE THEY BOUGHT HAVE THE BILLS YOU COME UP? SORRY.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL BILLS FOR REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY HAVE GONE OUT.
UM, THE REAL ESTATE VERSE HALF WAS APPROVED TODAY AND WE'VE JUST GOT ABOUT THE PERSONAL PROPERTY FINISHED THAT IT JUST TAKES A PROCESS TO WHEN WE OUTSOURCE THE BILLING TO GET THE BILLS.
CAUSE I WANT THEM TO GO OUT CORRECTLY.
SO I KNOW THAT OUR ORDINANCE HAS 14 DAYS.
THEY HAVE TO BE MAILED OUT, BUT BEFORE 14 DAYS BEFORE THEY'RE DUE.
SO I WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE MORE TIME, THE DUE DATES THE SAME, BUT THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS EXPECTING WHAT THE BILL COULD BE.
SO I WANT TO ALLOW THE CITIZENS MORE TIME TO PAY.
I MEAN, BECAUSE THERE IS A DELAY ON RECEIVING A BILL SO THEY CAN PAY THE BILL ON JUNE 5TH, WHICH IS THE ACTUAL DUE DATE, BUT IT ISN'T OFFICIALLY DUE UNTIL JUNE 22ND WITHOUT THE PET, THEY WOULD NOT BE PENALIZED UP UNTIL JUNE 22ND.
THE DUE DATE WILL STAY THE SAME.
IT JUST WON'T GET PENALTY UNTIL THE 22ND.
SO IT GIVES THEM A COUPLE EXTRA WEEKS, TWO WEEKS THE DELAY.
IT'S NOT REALLY A DELAY THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN THEM OUT ON TIME.
THEN IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE PUSHING IT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. ROCKY? DID ANYONE SIGN UP? NO.
MA'AM TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS
[00:30:03]
SECOND CALL, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK THIRD AND FINAL CALL HEARING IS CLOSED.IS THERE A MOTION? SO THIS IS JUST AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE.
NO, NO, THAT'S WHAT THE DOCUMENT SAYS.
YOU CAN READ, SORRY, BECAUSE MY DOCUMENT MUST'VE BEEN IN MARYLAND, UM, I'M GONNA READ THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, ADOPT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO DELAY YOUR PENALTIES AND INTEREST UPON CERTAIN LOCAL TAXES UNTIL JUNE 22ND, 2021 SECOND.

MR. FOX, MR. MAYB, MADAM CHAIR, MISS OATS.
[I4. Conditional Use Permit 2021-03-02, Raymond Ditto for a Short-Term Tourist Rental - Joe Petty]
ITEM FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2021 DASH THREE DASH OH TWO, RAYMOND DITTO OR SHORT-TERM TOURIST RENTALS.MA'AM CHAIR AS WITH THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION, THIS AFRICAN IS ALSO REQUESTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SHORT TERM TOURIST RENTAL, UM, FOR VISITORS TO WARREN COUNTY.
AGAIN, THEY ALSO RESIDE IN WASHINGTON DC AREA.
SO THEY WILL BE ALSO HIRING A LOCAL PROPERTY MANAGER TO MAINTAIN THIS, WHICH WILL BE PART OF THEIR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN.
THEY'VE CONDUCTED ACTUALLY INTERVIEWS FOR MULTIPLE ONES AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE REPRESENTATION HERE THIS EVENING.
THE PROPERTY IS ON A STATE MAINTAIN ROAD IN 65 ACRES IN SIZE.
THE HOUSE WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1903, AND IT'S ONE OF THE OLDER DWELLINGS THAT WE'VE DONE FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WHICH PROVIDED SOME ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN.
SO UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE UNABLE TO GET HEALTH DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTS FOR THIS SPECIFIC USE.
UM, THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH AN OSC TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SIZE.
SO IN OUR STANDARD CONDITIONS, WE TYPICALLY LIST THAT OCCUPANCY OR BEDROOM.
AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THIS INSTANCE IS THE NUMBER TWO CONDITION.
REID IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE SYSTEM CAPACITY AS DETERMINED BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT PER WARREN COUNTY CODE ONE 80 DASH 56.4 B.
AND THE CERTIFICATE OF ZONING SHALL ONLY BE ISSUED WITH APPROVED HEALTH DEPARTMENT RECORDS.
SO WITH ANY SHORT-TERM TOURISTS RENTAL, IF IT'S APPROVED BY THE BOARD, THEY THEN NEED TO APPLY WITH A ZONING APPLICATION AND A BUILDING PERMIT FOR A CHANGE OF USE.
AND PART OF THAT CHANGE OF USE IS TO HAVE APPROVED HEALTH DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTS TO VERIFY THE BEDROOMS
[00:40:01]
IN THE HOME AND THE CAPACITY OF THE SYSTEM.SO THAT'S ONE CHECK THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE MEETING THAT THIS CONDITION.
AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, AFTER THAT'S APPROVED, THEY WILL THEN NEED A CERTIFICATE OF ZONING AS WITH ANYONE TO GET THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE FOR THE TRANS AND OCCUPANCY TAX, WHICH WE WILL ALSO CONFIRM THAT THEY HAVE APPROVED HEALTH DEPARTMENT RECORDS.
SO WE FELT LIKE THIS CONDITION STILL COVERED EVERYTHING.
AND UNTIL THEY'RE ABLE TO GET THE OSC AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT APPROVAL, THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THIS AS A SHORT-TERM TOURIST RENTAL.
THEY'RE JUST CURRENTLY THOUGH SEE, SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE BUSY AND THEY'VE BEEN ON UNABLE TO GET ANY CURRENTLY, BUT THEY ARE ACTIVELY WORKING ON IT.
UM, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
I KNOW THEY HAVE REPRESENTATION IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY.
UM, LET ME HAVE YOU TO ANSWER THIS.
WOULD THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING AT THIS TIME? IT WAS PHILLIP VAUGHT.
APPLICANT WAS NOT ABLE TO, UM, MAKE IT TONIGHT.
AND THEY WANTED ME TO RELAY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST TO TABLE THE VOTE FOR ANOTHER MONTH.
UH, THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE'LL BE ABLE TO GET A NO S E PROFESSIONAL TO, UM, UH, GET THE ACCURATE, UH, CAPACITY OF THE SEPTIC TO CONFORM TO ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.
AND SO RATHER THAN HAVING A BOAT LIKE TO TABLE IT FOR ANOTHER MONTH, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE CORRECT PROCESS OR NOT, BUT I MEAN, FROM THE ZONING STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE CONDITION, IF, IF YOU'RE TABLING IT, YOU'RE JUST DELAYING IT.
IT TRIED TO EXPEDITE THIS BEFORE.
UM, YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THAT OSC REQUIRES IS WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE LIMIT AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS.
IT CAN NEVER EXCEED 10 PEOPLE.
SO WE KNOW WE'D NEVER EXCEED 10.
SO UNTIL WE GET THAT OSC REPORT, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SPECIFICALLY STATE IT, BUT WE FEEL LIKE THE CONDITION.
UM, IF THE BOARD IS COMFORTABLE WITH THAT AND THE AFRICANS COMFORTABLE FOR, WITH THAT, WE CAN MEET THAT REQUIREMENT.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT I WAS C STANDS FOR ON ONSITE ENGINEER? OKAY.
I DIDN'T, I'M NOT AN ENGINEER.
SO WHETHER WE TABLE THIS TONIGHT, THE ONLY THING IT'S GOING TO DO IS DELAY THE WHOLE PROCESS WHERE IF WE GO AHEAD, HE'S NOT GOING TO GET THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT UNTIL THAT INFORMATION IS GIVEN.
AND THEN THAT NUMBER JUST GETS PLUGGED IN.
IT CAN'T EXCEED 10, YOU KNOW? SO, I MEAN, I'M CERTAINLY WILLING TO ALL YOUR REQUEST TO TABLE IT, BUT THAT'S GOING TO PUSH YOU OUT TO PROBABLY THE END OF JUNE WHERE YOU GET SOMEONE ON SITE BEFORE THAT.
SO I, YOU KNOW, WHICHEVER WAY YOU WANT TO DO IT, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
WHATEVER JOE'S RECOMMENDATION IS.
ANY QUESTION OR DISCUSSION ON THAT? ALL RIGHT.
MRS. ROCKY, HAS ANYONE SIGNED UP FOR THIS? NO.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SECOND CALL.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS THIRD AND FINAL CALL HEARING IS CLOSED.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR IS THERE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO BRING THE DINNER FOR A SHORT TERM, TOURISTS RENTAL WITH THE CONDITIONS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF.
IS THERE A SECOND CALL MRS. SHILANSKI MR. CARTER, MS. OATS, MADAM CHAIR, MR. MABE.

AND A CARPENTER SHORT TERM, MR. PETTY.
MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
UM, YES, PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, PURCHASED PROPERTY IN MARCH OF 2018 IS A SECOND HOME.
UH, WELL, THAT'S WHAT I GOT, UH, BY THE APPLICANTS WHO CURRENT, THEY DO CURRENTLY RESIDE IN WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA.
UH, THEY WOULD PLAN TO RENT, UH, THE PROPERTY TO FRIENDS AND TOURISTS VISITING THE AREA, UH, IN ADDITION TO THEIR OWN PERSONAL USE USE, UM, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE HOLIDAYS AND WEEKENDS, THAT KIND OF THING.
[00:45:01]
PART A LOCAL RESIDENT WHO WILL ASSIST IN MANAGING THE PROPERTY, UH, UH, THE RENTALS AND THE BUSINESS DETAILS.UM, THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN A SUBDIVISION THAT HAS A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION IS LEGO STATE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.
THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF REQUESTS AND WE'VE RECEIVED COMMENT BACK FROM THEM, UH, WITH A LIST OF CONCERNS, PRIMARILY, UH, SECURITY AND, UH, SAFETY.
THERE WERE A FEW OTHERS THAT WERE ADDRESSED AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION LEVEL.
UM, PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON A PRIVATE ROAD IN THE SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS MAINTAINED BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION.
THE PROPERTIES CLOSEST DWELLING IS 186.
AND, UM, BASED ON SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, ADDRESS THEM WITH SOME ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO THE STANDARD CONDITIONS THAT ARE PLACED ON THE, UH, SHORT-TERM TOURIST RENTALS.
AND NUMBER THREE THROUGH EIGHT, WHERE THE ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION PLACED ON, ON THIS PARTICULAR, UH, APPLICATION NUMBER ONE, THE APPLICANT SHALL COMPLY WITH WARREN COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS IN THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS SHALL NOT EXCEED SIX IS DETERMINED ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT'S OPERATIONAL PERMIT FOR A THREE BEDROOM DWELLING.

NUMBER EIGHT, THE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES OR LIMITATIONS WITHIN THE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, WHERE GUESTS ARE ALLOWED SHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED AT ALL TIMES.
THE USE WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO MEET ALL OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS, WHICH WOULD BE A, UH, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN, UH, NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED.
AND ACTUALLY THAT THE OWNERS HAVE THE ATKINS HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY.
SO WE DO HAVE THAT IN PLACE, UM, THAT WOULD INCLUDE, UH, THE MARKETING OF THE PROPERTIES.
UM, SO, UH, THE PROPERTY, UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADVERTISED.
ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED.
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OF MAY.
AND I BELIEVE THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE HERE.
WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR AND THE BOARD.
UH, I JUST LIKE TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS, I'M SURE A FEW, MY, UH, UH, THE NEIGHBORS ARE HERE.
WOULD YOU GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? SURE.
I LIVE AT ONE 21 WHISTLING SWAN COURT IN WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA.
UH, I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY, MY WIFE, MY TWO KIDS ARE BACK AT HOME.
UH, WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE MORE IN COUNTY.
WE LOVE, UM, THE SLIGO ESTATES, UH, COMMUNITY.
IT'S, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PARK PROPERTY, A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY.
UM, WE, UH, STARTED ON THIS PROCESS WITH, AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COUNTY DOESN'T NECESSARILY GET INVOLVED WITH HOA COVENANTS, BUT I WANT TO ADDRESS THEM JUST IF I CAN, UH, CAUSE AT THE, YOU'LL HEAR SOME OF THE DETAILS, BUT A COUPLE OF KEY POINTS ARE THAT WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS, WE ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY BEFORE WE SUBMIT OUR APPLICATION.
WE DIDN'T GET A LOT OF RESPONSES AND THAT'S, THAT'S OKAY AFTER WE FILED THE APPLICATION.
UH, AND I THINK PEOPLE STARTED UNDERSTANDING A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED BASED ON, UM, EVENTS THAT HAPPENED WELL BEFORE US WITH PEOPLE NOT GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.
UH, WE, I HAVE HEARD OUR NEIGHBORS SEE CONCERNS AND WE'VE PUT IN PLACE THERE.
WE PLAN TO PUT IN PLACE A WHOLE BUNCH OF, UM, UH, WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN MITIGATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS WITH NOISE OR PARTIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, INCLUDING A LOCAL PROPERTY MANAGER, AS YOU HEARD, UH, CAMERA'S ON SITE AND SOUND, UH, MONITORING SO THAT WE CAN INTERVENE.
IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S UNEXPECTED.
UM, WE HAVE RECEIVED A LITTLE BIT OF SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY.
UNFORTUNATELY I THINK THOSE FEW, UH, NEIGHBORS HAVE KIND OF GOTTEN OVER, UH, OVERSHADOWED BY SOME OF THE OTHER, UM, MEMBERS.
AND, UM, AND SO RECENTLY, LIKE THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE POA HAS ADOPTED A MORE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT, UM, THAT EXPLICITLY
[00:50:01]
PROHIBITS US TO DO A SHORT-TERM RENTAL UNDER 30 DAYS.SO I GUESS I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SEEK THE COUNTY'S APPROVAL FOR US TO, TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE EYES OF THE COUNTY, RECOGNIZING THAT WE HAVE A GOOD BIT OF WORK TO DO WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR, OUR STANCES THAT ARE, OUR NEIGHBORS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
AND SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BLINDLY GO FORWARD AND, AND, UH, IN THE FACE OF WHAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS SAID, THEY WANTED THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE COVENANTS THAT THEY'VE PASSED.
UH, BUT UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE ARE DISTINCT PROCESSES.
WE'RE JUST HERE TO SEE THIS PART OF THE PROCESS THROUGH WITH THE COUNTY.
SO ANY QUESTIONS I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER? YEAH.
WAS THERE A PROHIBITION IN THE, IN THE COVENANT? UH, I HAVE THE COVENANT THAT WAS RECORDED JULY, 2018 THAT I DOWNLOADED AFTER THE APPLICATION.
NUMBER ONE, IT SAID, SAID LAUNCHED SHALL BE USED ONLY FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
NO ACTIVITIES SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON SAID LOTS OR IN ANY BUILDING THEREOF WHICH MAY CONSTITUTE OR BECOME AN ANNOYANCE OR NUISANCE OR DISTURBED.
THERE WERE, WAS NO MENTION OF, UH, SHORT-TERM TOURIST RENTALS DURING, UH, IN THIS PARTICULAR EDITION OF, UH, OF THEIR RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
WE, WE READ THOSE CLOSELY BEFORE SUBMITTING THIS APPLICATION.
WE DIDN'T READ THAT AS RESTRICTIVE TO THE PROCESS.
THE NEW, THE NEW COVENANTS THAT WERE ADOPTED OVER THE WEEKEND, UH, ARE VERY RESTRICTIVE AND SPECIFIC.
AND SO WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE HABITAT THAT CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE CONTINUING WITH THE COMMUNITY, BUT FOR THE PURPOSES OF HERE, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN STAFF WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH THOSE PRIOR TO THE MEETING.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS FROM THE BOARD AT THIS POINT? NOT MRS. SHIRAKI.
DID ANYONE SIGN UP FOR THIS? YES.
MADAM CHAIR, CALEB JOHNSON, CALEB JOHNSON, NINE NINE ZERO KILDARE DRIVE, FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF A PSYCHO STATE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.
UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO BEHIND THE SCENES TO KEEP OUR COUNTY RUNNING.
UM, THINGS THAT WE DON'T THINK ABOUT EVERY DAY.
AND I ALSO WANTED TO THANK MR. CARPENTER FOR, FOR COMING HERE TONIGHT, ALTHOUGH WE, UM, ARE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE WITH HOW WE VIEW OUR SITUATION.
UH, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO KEEP IT CIVIL AND RESPECTFUL AND FRIENDLY BECAUSE AFTER ALL THIS IS VIRGINIA, UM, I DID WANT TO, I GUESS, FIRST, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT CAME UP AND I CAN CLARIFY THOSE.
DID ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? LIKE I STILL, I HAVE THE, UH, NEW AMENDED COVENANTS TOO, SO I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH A COPY OF THAT.
THEY HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE COUNTY AS OF LAST FRIDAY.
DID YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT, UM, MR. CARPENTER'S ACTUAL APPLICATION? YES, SIR.
SO JUST GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS.
UM, SO, UM, BACK IN FEBRUARY, MR. CARPENTER HAD, UH, INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE DOING THIS PROCESS.
I WAS VERY MUCH NOT AN ASKING, BUT LETTING US KNOW, UH, THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE'D HEARD FROM MR. CARPENTER SINCE HE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IN 2018.
UM, AND SO WE HAD INFORMED THEM THAT WE HAD A, UH, A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT THAT, UH, PROHIBITED SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
AS YOU HEARD FROM THE LANGUAGE.
THIS IS, THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT 30 YEARS OLD.
I DON'T THINK AIRBNB HAS EXISTED BACK THEN.
I DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY, BUT IT WASN'T SPECIFIC ENOUGH.
UM, AND SO, YOU KNOW, IN TALKING WITH MR. CARPENTER OF OUR CONCERNS, HE DECIDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROCESS BECAUSE THAT LANGUAGE WASN'T VERY SPECIFIC TO THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
SO OUR, OUR NEW, UM, WE, UH, WE HAD A MEETING, UM, UM, AT OUR, UM, AT MY RESIDENCE AND, UH, ALL THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS KIND OF VOICE THEIR CONCERNS.
UM, OUR, OUR HOA IS EXTRAORDINARILY SMALL.
YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT, UM, BECAUSE IT'S A ONE MILE DIRT ROAD IN, THERE ARE 25 LOTS IN 22 OWNERS AND ONLY 12 PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
SO ABOUT HALF OF OUR RESIDENTS, UH, THIS IS A SECOND HOME FOR THEM OR TIRE MOUNT HOME OR VACATION HOME.
UM, SO, UM, AFTER THE MEETING, WE HAD TO VOTE, UM, TO AMEND THE COVENANT SPECIFICALLY TO PROHIBIT, UH, SHORT-TERM RENTALS BECAUSE OF A LOT OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED, UM, IN THAT VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS.
EVERYONE VOTED TO PROHIBIT, UH, THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
UM, SO THAT, THAT, THAT'S OUR COMMUNITY SPEAKING.
[00:55:01]
TO BE REALLY CLEAR.I, 100% UNDERSTAND THE COUNTY DOES NOT ENFORCE OUR COVENANTS.
UM, I DID ONE OUTLINE A LITTLE BIT OF, UM, SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE AS, UH, AS COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
UM, FOR ME, I'VE LIVED ON BLUE MOUNTAIN.
UM, WE MOUNTAIN ROAD FOR SEVEN YEARS PRIOR TO MOVING TO SLIGO STATES AND I LIVE NEXT TO A SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
UM, AND IT WAS NOT A HAPPY EXPERIENCE FOR THOSE SEVEN YEARS.
UM, I COULD GET INTO ALL THE DETAILS, BUT THE BIGGEST ONE WAS I FOUND, UH, ONE OF THE RENTERS TAKING PICTURES OF MY TODDLERS.
UM, THERE WERE A LOT OF SAFETY CONCERNS.
UH, MR. CARPENTER HAS PRIMARILY ADDRESSED THE NOISE CONCERNS.
UM, BUT, UM, ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS OUR ROAD.
IT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE CALL LONG DRIVEWAY THAT WE ALL SHARE, UH, HAS SOME REALLY DANGEROUS CURVES IN IT.
THIS PAST, THIS PAST YEAR, WE HAD A RESIDENT WHO'S LIVED HERE FOR 30 YEARS, GO OFF THE BRIDGE, WHICH IS ABOUT A 15 FOOT DROP.
UM, SO IF THAT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO HAS LIVED HERE FOR 30 YEARS, IT CAN EASILY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO'S VISITING FOR THE WEEKEND.
WE ARE INSURED, UM, BUT BOARD MEMBERS ARE VOLUNTEERS.
SO THERE'S, THERE'S FOUR OF US.
IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO KEEP OUR ROAD MAINTAINED.
UH, AND THAT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WANNA, THAT WE WANNA SPEND OUR TIME DEALING WITH IN TERMS OF, UM, POTENTIAL LAWSUITS.
UM, THERE'S, THERE'S THE NOISE, UH, WHICH MR. CARPENTER HAS, HAS ADDRESSED.
UM, UH, A BIG CONCERN IS PRIVACY.
THIS WAS A HUGE DRAW FOR US, FOR ME TO BUILD HERE.
I LOOKED FOR THIS LAND FOR A LONG TIME.
UM, AND WHEN I SAW THE COVENANTS AND THAT THEY PROHIBITED SHORT TERM RENTALS, THAT WAS, THAT WAS KIND OF THIS, UH, THAT SEALED THE DEAL FOR US.
UM, ALL OF THE RESIDENTS HERE, WE REALLY VALUE OUR PRIVACY.
WE REALLY ENJOY ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS, UH, AND WE LOVE KNOWING EXACTLY WHO IS IN OUR RESIDENCE, BUT WE REALLY VALUE OUR PRIVACY.
UM, AND ANOTHER, ANOTHER OUTCOME OF THIS IS IF, IF THIS PERMIT IS APPROVED, IT SETS A PRECEDENT.
HALF OF THESE RESIDENTS ARE NOT, ARE NOT FULL-TIME RESIDENTS.
SO HALF OF OUR COMMUNITY, UM, THESE ARE VACATION HOMES, SO IT'S, UM, AND ALL THOSE COMMUNITY MEMBERS ALSO WHO DO NOT LIVE HERE, FULL-TIME VOTED AGAINST THIS, VOTED AGAINST THIS MEASURE, VOTED TO PROHIBIT SHORT TERM RENTALS.
UM, BUT IF ONE IS PASSED, THEN IT SETS A PRECEDENT FOR OTHERS TO, UM, TO COME, UM, AND ESTABLISH, UM, MORE OF THESE SHORT-TERM RENTALS, UM, ON OUR ONE MILE DIRT ROAD.
AND WE DON'T WANT TO SET THAT PRECEDENT, UM, AND THEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE LITIGATION COSTS INVOLVED WITH ENFORCING OUR RULES.
UM, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS JUST DOESN'T FIT WITH OUR CULTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY.
UM, AND IT'S JUST NOT WHAT, WE'RE, WHAT WE WANT.
WE KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN, UH, THAT APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN, UM, UM, DENIED TO RAISE IT TO IN COMMUNITIES WHERE RESIDENTS HAVE, HAVE OPPOSED THIS BEFORE.
UH, IT'S SOMETHING PERSONAL BETWEEN US IN THE CARPENTERS.
UM, IT'S JUST REALLY, IT'S NOT WHAT WE AS COMMUNITY ONE.
AND SO I'M NOT ASKING THE BOARD TO ENFORCE OUR LAWS.
I'M JUST ASKING FOR YOU TO, TO PLEASE CONSIDER AND RESPECT, UM, WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS SPOKEN THROUGH THROUGH A UNANIMOUS VOTE.
AND I HAVE THESE BALLOTS HERE, IF YOU NEED THOSE AS WELL.
UM, I'VE TAKEN UP TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME ALREADY, BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION WITH THIS PROCESS.
IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLY STRESSFUL, UM, AND DIFFICULT FOR EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY MEMBER.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHY WE SOLD THE BOAT THAT WE DID.
CAN I ASK THE QUESTION BEFORE YOU GO? YOU'VE GOT, YOU'VE GOT RESIDENTS THAT ARE SECOND HOMES.
I MEAN, THEY'RE LIVING IN SECOND HOMES NOW, ARE THEY, ARE THEY, ARE THEY NOT COMING IN AND SPENDING LESS THAN A MONTH WHEN THEY COME IN AND JUST VISIT THEIR SECOND HOME PROPERTY THEY'RE COMING IN FOR, BUT THEY OWN, BUT, UH, IT'S THEIR HOME.
THEY'RE NOT PAYING SOMEONE TO RUN IT.
SO THEY'RE NOT RUNNING IT OUT TO SOMEONE ELSE.
UH, THEY'RE JUST COMING IN FOR, FOR THE WEEKEND.
IT'S NOT STRANGERS THAT WE DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS.
WE KNOW THESE PEOPLE THEY'RE PART OF OUR COMMUNITY, BUT IN, IN A NUTSHELL, THESE SECOND HOME PEOPLE ARE DOING EFFECTIVELY.
WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT MR. CARPENTER SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO NO, NO, SIR.
UH, MR. CARPENTER IS WANTING TO PAY TO RENT HIS HOUSE OUT.
UM, FOR WEEKEND OR WEEKS, UH, RENTALS.
THAT'S CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY TENANTS.
WHO'VE BEEN THERE FOR THREE YEARS.
THE OWNERS, THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY FULL TIME ARE NOT, ARE NOT RENTING OUT THEIR HOME TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS.
UM, THEY OWN THE HOME AND THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE USING IT IN MR. CARPENTER'S CASE.
[01:00:01]
THE HOME AND OTHER PEOPLE WOULD BE USING IT, UH, FOR SHORT-TERM BASIS.I BELIEVE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE THE MAJOR, MAJOR THOUGHT PROCESS IN MY HEAD, GO AWAY THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE ARE, HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PEOPLE COME IN AND OUT OF HIS PROPERTY ON A RENTAL BASIS.
BUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SECOND HOME DWELLERS, THEY'RE DOING PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.
AND YES, YOU DO KNOW THEM, BUT HE'S GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF VETTING, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING.
AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A TRUST THAT HAS TO BE PROVIDED TO MR. CARPENTER, THAT HE'S PUTTING PEOPLE IN THERE THAT YOU CAN RESPECT.
AT LEAST I WOULD HOPE THAT I WOULD HOPE THAT TOO.
UH, AND THE AIRBNB THAT I LIVED NEXT TO WENT THROUGH THAT SAME PROCESS, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, HUMAN BEINGS HAVE FREE WILL.
AND THEN IT WAS AN ALGORITHM THAT PREDICTS HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
UH, MOST OF THE RESIDENTS WERE FINE WHEN I LIVED NEXT TO THEM, BUT THERE WERE QUITE A FEW THAT WERE ALSO NOT FINE.
UM, SIR, THE BIG DIFFERENCES THAT BETWEEN MR. CARPENTER SITUATION AND PEOPLE WHO, UM, WHO HAVE SECOND RESIDENTS HERE IS EITHER THEY'RE GOING TO BE MOVING THERE FULL TIME, BUT, UM, WHEN THEY RETIRE, BUT TH THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY'RE NOT, IT'S NOT A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, IT'S THEIR HOME THAT THEY, THAT THEY OWN.
SO THERE'S NOT STRANGERS COMING INTO OUR COMMUNITY ALL THE TIME.
UH, AND THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY, THAT'S A REALLY CORE THING HERE.
OUR KIDS BEING ABLE TO PLAY, AND WE KNOW EVERYONE, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT STRANGERS COMING IN, EVEN IF THEY'RE, EVEN IF THEY'RE VETTED.
IT'S JUST THE FACT THAT THIS WAS UNANIMOUS WAS, WAS PRETTY POWERFUL.
WE WEREN'T REALLY EXPECTING THAT.
UM, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS IT'S A BUSINESS, UM, RATHER THAN A SECOND HOME, W WAS IT UNANIMOUS FOR 21 FAMILIES, OR WAS IT UNANIMOUS WITH, UM, HALF OF IT AFTER THE GROUP, THERE ARE 22 OWNERS AND THERE WERE, UM, AND THERE WERE 20 VOTES.
SO WE, UH, IT WAS UNANIMOUS AMONG THE 20 PEOPLE WHO VOTED.
AND AGAIN, UH, HALF OF THOSE ARE ALSO HALF OF THOSE RESIDENTS.
THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE WAS THAT FOR, FOR THE, FOR THE 10 RESIDENTS WHO THIS IS A SECOND HOME FOR, THEY DO NOT WANT THIS.
UM, AND THEY COULD VERY WELL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY OFF OF THIS, QUITE FRANKLY, BUT IT'S, IT DOESN'T FIT WITH THE CULTURE OF THE COMMUNITY, UM, AND OUR COVENANTS, UM, WHICH IS WHY EVERYONE OWNS A PROPERTY HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR EXPLANATION.
MA'AM DANIEL AND MELANIE PURVIS.
I LIVE AT 32 ERRAND COURT, AND I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE HOA SLIGO STATES.
I JUST HEARD MY GENTLEMEN, UM, PRESIDENT THERE EXPLAINED TO YOU THE SITUATION I DON'T, I CAN GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT WHO SAYS THIS AND THAT, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THAT.
THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT WE IN THE COMMUNITY FROM THE CONSENSUS FAILURE ARE A BIT BLINDSIDED BY THIS.
DESPITE WHAT WE'VE HEARD, THE ACTUAL TENURE OF THIS IS NOT QUITE IN THAT WAY.
AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING MY CONSTITUENTS WHO HAVE OVERWHELMINGLY SAID, NO, I CAN'T DO IT.
SO THE QUESTION COMES, WHY SHOULD ONE INDIVIDUAL? AND THAT'S GOING TO BE IN YOUR HANDS, NOT OUR HANDS.
SO WHATEVER RESPECTFULLY ASKED, WHATEVER YOU DO, PLEASE CONSIDER THAT THE OVERWHELMING NEIGHBORHOOD SAYS, NO, THERE'S A NUMBER OF CONCERNS LISTED THERE.
WE CAN READ THEM OFF TO YOU, BUT YOU SIT HERE AND I'M SURE YOU GET THE DRIFT HERE.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHAT'S GOING ON.
IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH OUR LOCATION, WE'RE OFF OF BLUE MOUNTAIN ROAD, WE'RE HOUSED WHEEL HATS.
WE DO HAVE A ONE MILE DRIVEWAY, NO EXIT OUT STURT ROAD, TREACHEROUS.
THAT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU'RE DRIVING.
YES, WE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION AND GOD BLESS THOSE GUYS FOR SHOWING UP AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY FROM THE CONSENSUS I GOT MORE QUESTIONS WERE RAISED THAN ANSWERS.
SECURITY ISSUE IS, IS ABSOLUTELY AN ISSUE.
UM, PEOPLE'S CONCERNS FOR CHILDREN, ISSUE, DUST, DIRT,
[01:05:01]
THINGS LIKE IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT, ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT? IF THERE'S SOME KIND OF, UM, AMBULATORY SITUATIONS ACCOUNT WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMING OUT AND GET THEM, IF THERE'S A POLICE ACTION, IS THAT THE COUNTY RESPONSIBILITY? NOT IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE OF WHERE WE FALL IN WITH THIS, WHAT WE HAVE TO, BUT EITHER WAY THE MAJORITY SAYS, NO, I SAY, NO, NOT BECAUSE OF IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL AT ALL, GENTLEMEN AT ALL, BUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT FIT WITH US.AND I WOULD ALSO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO, UM, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE HERE, BUT IN 2015, THIS EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED ON A, UM, HIGH KNOB.
THEY'RE IN THE SAME SITUATION.
ONE MILE ROAD IN HAD THE SAME SITUATION, UM, AFTER IT WAS APPEALED AND THE RESIDENTS JUST LIKE MYSELF, CAME AND TALKED, YOU KNOW, TALK TO YOU GUYS.
UM, BASED ON THE RESIDENTS SAYING, NO, NO, AGAIN, I CAN'T DO IT.
SO THE PRECEDENCE THAT IS GOING TO SET, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BEYOND THAT.
EVERYBODY RELISHES THEIR PRIVACY.
WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
WITH RESPECT TO MR. CARTER, THAT'S HIS HOME SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR HOUSE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
IF IT DOESN'T AFFECT OTHERS NEGATIVELY IN THIS CASE, IT ABSOLUTELY DOES BY VIRTUE OF VOTES AND PEOPLE TALKING, IT'S A NEGATIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO I KIND OF HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH THAT, ALONG WITH MY OWN OPINION, I DO TAKE CARE OF THE ROAD.
WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT ROAD.
WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING.
AND WHILE MR. CARPENTER HAS LAID OUT PLANS FOR CAMERA, SOUND EQUIPMENT, THIS TYPE OF THING, IT'S NOT A RESIDENT LONG DISTANCE LANDLORD, WHATEVER.
IT'S GOING TO FALL ON US FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE COMMUNITY THAT DOES NOT WANT US TO BEGIN WITH.
AND AGAIN, I'M ECHOING MY CONSTITUENTS, UM, CONCERNS, AND LIKE YOURSELVES, WE'VE ALL TAKEN A BOAT.
AND IF YOU WIN THE VOTE, YOU SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE.
YOU GUYS ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT.
WE ARE FEELING THE SAME WAY OUR BOAT SAYS NO OVERWHELMINGLY SAYS NO.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT FALLS.
IT FALLS IN YOUR HANDS IS WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO.
AND I UNDERSTAND, AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO YOU.
DON'T, YOU KNOW, BAM BEHIND THAT WITH GOOD REASON, GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH FOR THAT.
BUT I WOULD SAY THIS, THAT THIS ISN'T THAT YOU DO MAKE, IT'S GOING TO REFLECT ON EVERYONE FOR ONE PERSON.
THIS IS NOT A COMMUNITY SITUATION.
AND AGAIN, THE CONSTITUENTS I'VE TALKED TO FEEL THAT WE'VE SORT OF BEEN BLINDSIDED THIS BECAUSE BY THE TIME WE CAME AROUND TO FINDING OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, THIS PROCESS WAS WELL UNDERWAY.
THERE'S NEVER AN ASK, HEY, WE'RE LOOKING TO DO THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND SINCE THEN, IT'S JUST NO MATTER WHAT HAS MS SAID, NO MATTER WHAT MEETINGS ARE HERE, NO MATTER HOW WE APPROACHED THIS, JUST HERE WE ARE.
AND GRANTED, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SUPPORT US, BUT I WOULD ASK YOU THIS, WHAT YOU CAN DO IS SHOW SOME FAIRNESS TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING NO, HAVE RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT SAYS NO, AND THIS POSITION IS UP TO YOU GUYS.
BUT AGAIN, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF EXAMPLES HAVE TWO PAGES OF THINGS THAT TALK TO HIM, BUT I'M NOT GONNA WASTE YOUR WITH THAT.
I THINK YOU GET THE DRIFT HERE.
SO I AM FORMALLY ASKING YOU ON BEHALF OF MY CONSTITUENTS, THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD, PLEASE DON'T ALLOW THIS TO GO FORWARD.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PLACES HERE THAT SAY FINE, BRING IT ON HOME.
AND I APPLAUD THAT WE ARE NOT ONE OF THEM.
AND IF THIS LEFT IS LEFT UNCHECKED, THERE MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.
BECAUSE AS I'M LOOKING INTO THIS AND STARTING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE AIRBNB, THIS IS GETTING TO BE AN EPIDEMIC.
AND BEFORE LONG, IT'S GOING TO HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT WITH REGARDS TO, THERE ARE, UM, SITUATIONS IN EFFECT RIGHT NOW THAT DO JUST EXACT THING, TORRES STRAIGHT.
YOU CAN PUT THEM UP, GIVE THEM A PLACE, GIVE THEM RESTAURANTS.
AND THERE'S ANY NUMBER OF PLACES.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, I'D BE IN FAVOR, SAY NO, LET'S DO THIS, BUT WE DON'T FOR A VERY, A MYRIAD OF REASONS.
SO AGAIN, ASKING YOU TO PLEASE RESPECT THE CONSENSUS OF THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PLACES, MR. CARPENTER, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO, BUT THERE ARE PLACES THAT DO ACCEPT THIS AND ENCOURAGE IT AND GOOD FOR THEM.
IT'S A BOON TO THE WHOLE ECONOMY WHERE YOU'RE TAKING DILAPIDATED PROPERTIES OR WHATEVER, AND TURNING THEM INTO SOMETHING THAT MAKES PEOPLE MONEY AND BRINGS UP NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND I'M, AND I'M SURE IT WORKS JUST NOT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO I'M ASKING RESPECTFULLY AND KINDLY PLEASE REJECT THIS PROPOSAL.
[01:10:04]
ANYONE ELSE WAS THIS ROCKY? PATRICK IRISH.I LIVE AT EIGHT, SEVEN, FOUR KILDARE DRIVE IN SLIGO ESTATES.
UH, APPRECIATE YOU GUYS LISTENING TO US TONIGHT.
UM, BASICALLY I'LL JUST KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET.
UH, I MOVED INTO THE COUNTY TWO YEARS AGO, MY WIFE AND I FOUND THIS WONDERFUL LITTLE KIND OF PLACE WHERE IT WAS ONLY 25 PEOPLE OR WE'RE ON A MOUNTAIN.
WE HAVE A FANTASTIC VIEW AND WE WANTED TO BE KIND OF AWAY FROM IT.
WE WANTED TO RAISE OUR TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS WHO ARE TWO AND FOUR YEARS OLD IN THIS SAFE AREA.
THERE'S VERY FEW PEOPLE AND FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.
AND IT'S BEEN EVERYTHING WE'VE EVER WANTED SINCE WE'VE BEEN OUT HERE, WE ESCAPED LOUDON COUNTY, ALL THE CRAZINESS.
IT'S BEEN GREAT BEING OUT HERE.
UM, BUT THIS CONCERN ABOUT HAVING A SHORT TERM RENTAL, I'M ACTUALLY PROBABLY ONE OF THE CLOSEST, UH, FULL-TIME RESIDENTS TO THIS INDIVIDUAL'S HOUSE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL RESPECTED.
WE UNDERSTOOD THAT IN THE COVENANTS AND WE BOUGHT, WE ALL HAD SIGN OFF ON THAT.
UH, WE ALL KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT.
I MEAN, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT, HEY, WHEN WE GO OUT OF TOWN FOR A MONTH OR A FEW WEEKS OR WHATEVER, WE'RE NOT RENTING OUT OUR HOUSE.
WE'VE WE'VE WE KNEW THAT GOING IN, WE SIGNED OFF ON THAT.
UM, AND TO KIND OF LATER CRY, FOUL, AND TRY TO LOOK FOR A WAY TO MAKE A PROFIT OFF A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT AN INDIVIDUAL HAS NEVER LIVED IN.
WE'VE NEVER CALLED THEM NEIGHBOR.
IT'S SOMETHING WHERE THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF OUR, OUR QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT'S KIND OF SOMETHING THAT REALLY JUST DOESN'T RING TRUE TO ME.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT FRUSTRATES ME.
UH, WHAT ALSO FRUSTRATES ME IS WE HAD A MEETING TWO WEEKS AGO AND WE, WE TALKED WITH, UM, UH, MR. CARPENTER AND HIS WIFE ABOUT OUR CONCERNS AND WHAT WE WANTED TO DO TO KIND OF ADDRESS THOSE.
AND HIS THING WAS BASICALLY, HEY, IF THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD COMES OUT AGAINST IT, I'LL DROP MY APPLICATION.
WE WON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THIS.
AND, UH, WE ASKED HIM AFTER WE SHOWED HIM THE RESULTS OF THE VOTE THAT, HEY, YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DROP THIS AND NOT MOVE FORWARD.
AND HERE WE ARE, UH, HE'S DECIDED HE WANTED TO HAVE YOU GUYS KIND OF DECIDE, UH, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THIS? UM, THAT'S A CONCERN OF MINE.
IT JUST, EVERY TIME WE'VE SAID, HEY, THIS ISN'T GOING TO FLY THIS.
YOU CONTINUALLY MOVE THE GOALPOSTS.
AND WE'RE KIND OF HERE ASKING, YOU KNOW, AT YOUR MERCY, HEY, KEEP OUR TWENTY-FIVE LOT NEIGHBORHOOD QUIET, KEEP IT SAFE, KEEP IT SAFE FOR MY TWO AND FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHERE WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RANDOM PEOPLE.
CAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, YES, WE SAY ERIN, AIRBNB.
WE SAY WHATEVER ELSE, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF YOU GUYS PERMIT IT, THEY CAN ADVERTISE THIS WHEREVER THEY WANT.
WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE ON ANY OTHER SITE.
UM, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AIRBNB UNBELIEVABLE WHEN WE SEE APPLICATIONS THAT IT SAYS ONLY CAN BE LISTED ON THIS SITE.
SO I WOULD JUST ASK THAT WE NOT OPEN UP TO ANYTHING.
MY NAME IS DAVID SCHWAB AND MY WIFE, JILL AND I ARE THE NEWEST RESIDENTS OF SLIGO ESTATES.
AND I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE HOW IT'S ALMOST AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT WE FOUND THIS PLACE.
I COMMUTE EVERY DAY TO ARLINGTON.
UM, I'M A HEALTH CARE WORKER AND, UH, WE FOUND OUR OASIS, THIS COMMUNITY, UH, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY.
UM, AND WE KNEW WHEN WE WENT IN THERE, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY I'M A LITTLE SHOCKED.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MANY PEOPLE DON'T LIVE THERE FULL TIME.
YOU KNOW, WE, WE MOVED THERE BECAUSE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO, TO RETIRE.
WE'RE PLANNING TO RETIRE HOPEFULLY SOON.
UM, I HAVE A SON WHO'S AUTISTIC AND HE'S GOING TO BE LIVING WITH US FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND WE WANT TO HAVE, KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAFE.
UM, AND, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I'D LIKE TO SAY.
UM, RIGHT NOW AND MY WIFE JILL HAS EXPERIENCED WITH, UM, COMMERCIAL.
UH, WELL, I'LL LET MY WIFE SPEAK.
UM, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK TO THAT REALLY.
SO I CAN'T SEE, AS FAR AS I HAVE A FEW POINTS, I JOTTED DOWN AS YOU'RE SPEAKING.
SO MY THOUGHTS MAY NOT BE IN ORDER AS THEY SHOULD BE AS I ORIGINALLY PLANNED.
BUT, UM, AS FAR AS VETTING PROCESS, YOU KNOW, I HAVE SEEN AS AN HR MANAGER IN THESE SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND THE GOOD INTENTIONS OF THESE LANDLORDS AND THE VETTING PROCESS, AND AS CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE VERY
[01:15:01]
OFTEN ENDS UP BEING A DISASTROUS SITUATION.I'VE BEEN CALLED AS A MANAGER.
HEY, THESE PEOPLE ARE HAVING PARTIES AT NIGHT AND IT WAS THE, THE, UM, THE PARENTS WHO RENTED THE PROPERTY, BUT GIVE IT TO THE KIDS, YOU KNOW, AND NO MATTER WHO YOU VET, YOU DON'T KNOW REALLY WHAT THEIR BACKGROUND IS.
AND WHEN MY HUSBAND ISN'T HOME, I'M VERY VULNERABLE AND I FEEL VERY VULNERABLE AND UNSAFE, AND I DON'T WANT TO BRING MORE UNSAFETY AND I DON'T WANT TO BE MORE SCARED OF MY HOME THAT I SOUGHT, FOUGHT SO HARD ALL THESE YEARS TO SAVE FOR AND FINALLY FOUND.
UM, IT'S ALSO KNOWN IT'S A WELL-KNOWN FACT WHEN YOU BUY A HOME, IT'S AN INVESTMENT.
YOU WANT TO SEE IT APPRECIATE SHORT-TERM RENTALS, DEVALUE YOUR INVESTMENT.
IF WE HAD KNOWN THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, WE WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IN THIS, THIS COMMUNITY.
I WOULD HAVE INSTEAD BOUGHT IN A COMMUNITY WHERE IT WAS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS PROHIBITED.
ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T SAY IT OUTRIGHT.
I THINK THE INTENTION OF THE DOCUMENTS ARE CLEAR.
THE FIRST STATEMENT OF THE DOCUMENT STATE FOR RESIDENTIAL USE.
THIS IS NOT A RESIDENTIAL USE.
MR. CARPENTER, WHEN HE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, SAW A RESIDENTIAL USE, RE WHAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL.
AND YET HE WENT AHEAD WITH THE PURCHASE WITH A CLEAR INTENTION OF USING IT FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
AND IT'S ACTUALLY, UM, WHEN, UH, A HOMEOWNER AND I'M SPEAKING AS HR MANAGER, AGAIN, SIGNS A CONTRACT ON THEIR HOME.
THEY'RE ALSO SIGNING A CONTRACT WITH THE ASSOCIATION.
AND PART OF AN HOA AS AN ASSOCIATION IS TO PRESERVE AND ENHANCE AND PROTECT THE PROPERTY OF THE ASSOCIATION, THE COMMON ELEMENTS AND THE PROPERTY VALUES.
WELL, WHAT DOES HIS ACT DOING IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE CONTRACT THAT MR. CARPENTER SIGNED WITH THE ASSOCIATION.
THAT'S HOW I SEE AS AN HR MANAGER.
I SEE IT AS HE'S, HE'S BREAKING HIS CONTRACT WITH THE ASSOCIATION.
UM, AND I THINK I SAID, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT IT'S VERY CLEAR WHERE THE DOCUMENTS INTENTIONS ARE, AND I KNOW YOU DON'T GET INVOLVED THAT, BUT THIS IS JUST A MATTER.
AND THE ONLY REASON I BRING THAT UP, I KNOW YOU DON'T GET INVOLVED IN THAT, BUT IT JUST A MATTER OF RIGHT AND WRONG.
UM, AND IT JUST, YOU KNOW, WE MOVED INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL IDEAL COMMUNITY AND NOW IT JUST KIND OF SOURS THE WHOLE THING, YOU KNOW, SHOULD WE MOVE NOW? THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
OR THE OTHER ONE IS GOING TO START DOING THIS.
UM, HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT'S VERY SCARY WHEN YOU GO TO THE MAILBOX, YOU'RE VERY VULNERABLE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE AROUND.
IT'S JUST, UM, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
ANYONE ELSE, MRS. SHIRAKI? YES, MA'AM JIM EISENMANN, UM, UH, JIM EISMAN, UM, ONE 39 SLIGO COURT, UH, I'M THE TREASURER FOR PSYCHO STATES.
AND, UH, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY'S SAID SO FAR.
UM, AND EVEN THOUGH SOME OF, SOME OF THE CONFLICTS, THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT IT TO COME IN ON.
UH, CALEB SAID THAT IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY AGAINST THE AMENDMENT.
THE CARPENTERS DID VOTE FOR IT.
SO THERE WAS ONE VOTE FOR, UH, WHEN I CLEARED THAT UP.
UH, THE OTHER THING WAS THE OLD COVENANTS THAT SAYS FOR RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY, UH, I'VE SERVED, SERVED AS TREASURER NOW FOR, I THINK, EIGHT YEARS.
AND I SERVED AS PRESIDENT FOR 10 YEARS PRIOR TO THAT, WHEN A LITTLE VACATION IN BETWEEN THERE.
UM, AND I WAS THERE, WE DID A MAJOR REWRITE AND MODERNIZATION OF THE COVENANTS IN 2017 OR 2016, 2017, UM, WHERE WE JUST, YOU KNOW, PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY REDID IT.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT AS A COMMUNITY.
WE VOTED ON THINGS AND, AND WE, WE VOTED UNANIMOUSLY AGAINST SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
AND I SAT THERE AT THE TABLE WITH THE LAWYER WHO SAID, IT SAYS RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY THAT'S.
SO WHETHER HE WAS RIGHT OR NOT, DOESN'T MATTER, THAT WAS OUR INTENTION.
WE CONSCIOUSLY TRIED TO, UH, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVE SHORT TERM RENTALS.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, I'LL KEEP IT QUICK.
UH, I THINK I, UH, GAVE YOU A PILE OF LETTERS FROM PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T SPEAK.
WHEN WE CAME TO THE OTHER MEETING, I GOT ONE MORE IN IS FROM AN ADJACENT NEIGHBOR, UH, THE ONES DIRECTLY EAST OF THE CARPENTERS.
SO I THOUGHT, UH, I'LL SKIP THE FIRST PARAGRAPH, BUT IT BASICALLY SAID THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AS A RETIREMENT HOME.
THEY'RE MOVING IN NEXT MONTH, THEY'VE RETIRED AND THEY'RE MOVING IN NEXT MONTH.
UH, AND THE MIDDLE PARAGRAPH SAYS WE WERE OPPOSED TO THEIR REQUEST FOR MULTIPLE REASONS.
[01:20:01]
NOT KNOWING WHO IS NEXT DOOR, THE NEIGHBORS WE HAVE MET IN SLIGO STATES HAVE BEEN WELCOMING.AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING MORE OF WHEN WE MAKE A CABIN, WE MAKE OUR CABIN A PERMANENT RESIDENCE.
NEXT MONTH, THERE IS A REASSURANCE OF KNOWING YOUR NEIGHBORS THAT CAN NOT BE MET WHEN THE NEW GUESTS ARE ARRIVING EVERY WEEKEND.
OTHER CONCERNS INCLUDE TRAFFIC AND NOISE AND I'LL SKIP THE LAST PART CAUSE IT GETS A LITTLE PERSONAL.
UM, I KNOW WE'RE SMALL POTATOES, UH, AND, AND LIKE, LIKE DAN SAID, YOU KNOW, UM, WE'RE SERVING OUR RESIDENTS AS, AS YOU GUYS ARE SERVING THE COUNTY AND WE APPRECIATE THE GOOD JOB THAT YOU DO.
UH, I THINK THAT, UM, IN THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, CERTAIN RENTALS ARE, ARE A GOOD THING AND, AND THEY'RE NOT FOR EVERY PLACE.
AND I THINK OUR COMMUNITY IS A PLACE WHERE THEY REALLY DON'T FIT IN AND OUR OPINION PEOPLE THAT WE'RE REPRESENTING, UH, OVERWHELMINGLY, OVERWHELMINGLY SAY THAT, UH, DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS TREASURER? I'LL NOTE THAT, THAT THE CARPENTERS HAVE BEEN MUDDLE, MUDDLE NEIGHBORS.
UH, AND, AND I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE WAY THEY'VE DONE ALL THIS TO IS EVERYTHING'S BEEN ON THE UP AND UP AND, AND, UH, AND YOU KNOW, UH, IT'S AN ISSUE THAT APPARENTLY WE HAD TO FACE SOONER OR LATER BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE HAD WORDED THINGS.
UH, AND, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND LIKE DAN SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, HOA COVENANTS AND COUNTY REGULATIONS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT WE ALL DO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE.
ANYONE ELSE, MRS. SHAHRAKI? YES.
JEFF CISLER EIGHT 17 KILDARE DRIVE.
UM, I JUST, UH, ALMOST EVERYTHING WAS SAID THAT I HAVE TO SAY I'VE LIVED THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
UM, I LIVED ONE DOOR DOWN FROM THE PROPOSED BNB.
UM, I WANT TO POINT OUT TWO THINGS, UM, REAL QUICKLY.
FIRST OF ALL, AT THE LAST HEARING, THERE WERE SEVERAL APPLICANTS THAT CAME UP THREE OR FOUR, ANYHOW, THAT CAME UP FOR A BNB BEFORE OURS AND NOT ONE PERSON FROM ONE COMMUNITY OBJECTIVE.
AND YET HERE YOU HAVE LITERALLY AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OBJECTING TO THIS.
SO I HOPE THAT WILL IMPRESS UPON YOU HOW DIFFERENT OUR COMMUNITY IS.
IT'S NOT LIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER LIVED IN.
UM, AND SO CAN BE DANGEROUS UP THERE.
UH, THE POLICE HAVE ALWAYS DONE A GREAT JOB WHEN THEY'VE COME, BUT THEY DON'T COME UNTIL AFTER THERE'S A PROBLEM.
AND SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE AN HOUR OR MORE TO GET A POLICE OFFICER UP THERE.
UM, AND THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS FROM OUTSIDERS COMING IN UP THERE UP TO INCLUDING A MURDER, WHICH, UM, UM, I HAD TO GO HELP MY NEIGHBOR FROM THAT.
SHE WAS AFRAID TO CALL THE POLICE BECAUSE IT TAKE TOO LONG.
AND SO SHE CALLED ME AND ALMOST GOT KILLED FROM IT.
UH, HE WAS CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER.
UM, SO THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS UP THERE WITH OUTSIDERS COMING UP, COMMITTING CRIME.
AND, UH, WE HAVE A BIT OF AN INFORMAL, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH THAT'S, UH, WORKS REAL WELL UP THERE.
UH, WE KNOW IT'S A PRIVATE ROAD ONE WAY IN AND OUT, AND WE'D KNOW WHEN SOMEONE BELONGS UP THERE AND WHEN THEY DON'T, AND THAT HAS SAVED US A LOT OF TROUBLE UP THERE BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL CALL AND WE'LL HAVE TWO OR THREE OF US AND WE'LL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, WE'LL CALL THE POLICE.
WE TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM BEFORE IT HAPPENS, BECAUSE WE KNOW OUR NEIGHBORS, WE KNOW THEIR CARS AND WE KNOW SOMEONE'S WALKING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW THAT WITH A BNB.
SO OUR HANDS WILL BE TIED BEHIND OUR BACKS.
WE WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT OURSELVES THE WAY WE ARE NOW.
SO IT WILL BE A DANGER TO THE COMMUNITY, FOR SURE, BECAUSE JUST THE LOGISTICS, WE'RE NOT YOUR NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT, I'VE LIVED THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
I'M IN A, UH, PRIVATE LOCATION, MIDDLE OF 11 ACRES.
BEAUTIFUL PLACE, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A TRESPASSER, BUT I DID RECENTLY WITH A YOUNG MAN ABOUT 18 CAME RUNNING AROUND THE CORNER OF MY HOUSE EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN I'M DRINKING MY COFFEE, I SIT IN THE BACK PORCH EVERY MORNING, DRINK MY COFFEE, SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME AND TURNS OUT, UM, HE WAS
[01:25:01]
A GUEST OF MR. CARPENTER'S RENTAL AND A TENANT WHO IS THE SAME PERSON.HE IS PROPOSING TO BE THE MANAGER OF THAT PROPERTY IN HIS ABSENCE.
AND I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM FROM ANY OWNER UP THERE HAVING A IRRESPONSIBLE GUEST.
AND I JUST THINK THAT'S A, THAT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
SHE'S PROVEN SHE'S NOT COMPETENT.
CAN'T MAINTAIN HER OWN GUESTS.
AND AGAIN, I'M HOPING THAT YOU'LL CONSIDER, WE'RE NOT YOUR NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'RE VERY DIFFERENT UP THERE AND WE HAVE TO LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER AND THIS WILL MAKE IT A NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE.
SO I HOPE YOU'LL YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THAT.
ANYONE ELSE, MRS. ROCKEY? YES.
MA'AM PATRICK ROGERS, PAT ROGERS.
UH, I'VE LIVED THERE SINCE 2017.
UH, FIRST I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF THESE THINGS TO SORT OUT AND WE APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING.
UM, I'LL BE BRIEF BY NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR AS AN ASSOCIATION AND WHY WE'RE ASKING, I'D RATHER TALK JUST FOR A MINUTE ABOUT SOME PREVIOUS DECISIONS THIS BOARD HAS MADE IN SIMILAR MATTERS.
NOW IN 2015, I KNOW THE MAKEUP OF THE BOARD WAS VERY DIFFERENT, BUT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN 2015, VOTED FIVE TO NOTHING TO DENY A REQUEST FOR A SIMILAR SHORT TERM RENTAL PROPOSAL FOR A RESIDENCE IN THE HIGH KNOB SUBDIVISION.
ONE THAT IS FAR BIGGER AND COULD ABSORB THESE KINDS OF RENTAL SHORT TERM RENTAL SITUATIONS FAR BETTER THAN A TINY LITTLE COMMUNITY LIKE WEEKEND.
WE HAVE 20 SOME HOUSES WHEN SOMEBODY COMES IN, IT'S A MUCH DIFFERENT IMPACT, AND THAT WAS A FIVE NOTHING VOTE TO DENY.
NOW THAT DECISION WAS APPEALED AND I'M NOT AWARE OF THE RESULT, BUT WHEN THAT 2015 VOTE WAS TAKEN, THE SUPERVISORS CITED CONCERNS RAISED BY NEIGHBORS AS THE REASON FOR THEIR UNANIMOUS DENIAL.
THE HIGH KNOB RESIDENTS FELT OVERWHELMINGLY THAT SHORT-TERM RENTALS DID NOT FIT WITH THEIR COMMUNITY.
AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HEARD AND RESPECTED THOSE CONCERNS.
AND AS YOU HAVE HEARD, THOSE ARE PRECISELY THE SAME CONCERNS THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE SLIDO ESTATES HOA HAS THAT ALLOWING THIS PERMIT FOR AN AIRBNB IS COUNTER TO THE NATURE OF THIS COMMUNITY AND AGAINST THE WISHES OF ITS RESIDENTS.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS HOA HAVE SPOKEN AND VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY AGAINST THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL PLAN, AS YOU'VE HEARD OVER AND OVER TONIGHT, THE BOARD AT THIS TIME ALSO ADOPTED CHANGES TO THE REGULATIONS, INCLUDING ONE THAT I THINK HE MENTIONED THAT REQUIRES THAT FUTURE PERMIT APPLICATIONS COME WITH INPUT FROM PROPERTY OWNERS GROUPS.
IF THE HOME IS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE IS AN HOA.
SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT GIVEN THAT REGULATION AND THAT 2015 VOTE, THAT THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL REQUEST, THAT THIS BOARD TAKES THESE THINGS VERY SERIOUSLY, GIVEN THAT REGULATION AND THAT VOTE.
AND, UH, YOU TAKE THOSE REQUESTS AND THE WISHES OF THE HOA.
WE'D ASK THAT YOU DO THE SAME HERE AND REJECT THIS PROPOSAL TONIGHT.
I ALSO WOULD SAY THAT AS ONE OF THE, UM, PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAS DUAL RESIDENCY, I HAVE A CONDO IN ARLINGTON AND SINCE COVID, THIS HAS BEEN MY PERMANENT RESIDENCE, BUT PREVIOUSLY I WAS, AND MY WIFE WAS WE'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH AND HAD HAD AMPLE TIME.
IF WE WANTED TO, WE COULD HAVE RENTED DURING THE WEEK WEEKENDS, ANYTIME WE WEREN'T HERE.
AND IT NEVER CROSSED HER MIND.
AND IT NEVER WOULD BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE COMMUNITY.
AND WE WERE AWARE OF THE COVENANT, WHICH WE WOULD NEVER BREAK, NEVER CHALLENGED THAT THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL IS THE SPIRIT OF THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED WHETHER THE STRICT LETTER OF THE LAW, MR. CARPENTER SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND A LOOPHOLE IN IT.
BUT THE S THE SPIRIT OF THIS AGREEMENT WAS TO PROHIBIT THOSE.
AND AS A PERSON HAS TO HAVE THESE TWO PROPERTIES, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE FINE WITH ME.
THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO ADD IS THAT THE, UM, MITIGATIONS THAT WE, THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS THAT WERE MENTIONED EARLIER, THEY, IN TERMS OF MITIGATION, I DON'T THINK ADDRESS THE MAIN CONCERN OF THE ASSOCIATION, MANY OF WHICH HAVE BEEN VOICED HERE TONIGHT, BUT THAT THE ONE THAT MAYBE HASN'T IS THAT THIS WOULD ALSO SET A PRECEDENT.
WHAT WOULD STOP SOMEBODY ELSE FROM TRYING THIS, LOOKING FOR ANOTHER LOOPHOLE, TRYING TO START ESSENTIALLY A BUSINESS.
THIS IS A BUSINESS, IT'S A SMALL BUSINESS, BUT IT'S A BUSINESS.
AND AS YOU'VE HEARD, I GUESS, OVER AND OVER TONIGHT, WE DON'T WANT IT.
[01:30:01]
ANYONE ELSE MISSES? SO THERE'S NO ONE ELSE SIGNED UP, BUT I DID RECEIVE TWO EMAILS FROM RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY.AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME, I CAN READ THEM.
SO THE FIRST IS FROM A MARJORIE THOMPSON OF SEVEN, SEVEN ONE KILDARE DRIVE.
BUT, UM, MR. EISENMAN ACTUALLY READ THAT EMAIL FOR ME.
SO I JUST WANTED TO HAVE HER NAME AND ADDRESS IN THE RECORD.
AND THE SECOND IS FROM ANNE MULDOON OF SEVEN ONE SIX KILDARE DRIVE.
I'M OPPOSED TO A SHORT TERM TOURIST RENTAL BEING ALLOWED IN THE SLUGGO ESTATE SUBDIVISION.
MY CONCERNS ARE A SHORT-TERM TOURIST RENTAL WILL NOT BENEFIT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN ANY WAY.
AND I ONLY EXPECT UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS AND HARDSHIPS FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT OUT OF IGNORANCE, NEGLECT AND DISRESPECT FOR THE TOURIST RENTERS WILL IMPROPERLY HANDLE AND OR DISPOSE OF OUTDOOR FIRES, START FIRES AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE, INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE PEOPLE, PROPERTIES AND HOMES IN SLIGO ESTATES.
I'M CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AND SECURITY FROM THE NUMEROUS AND UNKNOWN RENTERS ROAMING ON AND AROUND OUR PROPERTIES, PARTICIPATING IN LETTER LITTERING, TRESPASSING IN THEFT, MY PRIVACY PEACE AND QUIET WILL BE VIOLATED BY HAVING A CONSTANT FLOW OF PARTIERS ACROSS THE ROAD FROM MY PROPERTY WHO HAVE NO RESPECT OR VESTED INTEREST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M CONCERNED THAT SPEEDING AND RECKLESS DRIVING BY THE NUMEROUS RENTERS ON OUR GRAVEL ONE LANE STEEP ROAD THAT ALSO HAS SEVERAL AREAS TO DRIVE EXTRA CAREFULLY WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE SLIGO ESTATES RESIDENTS.
I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS SORT OF BUSINESS HAS A PLACE IN A SMALL SUBDIVISION.
LIKES LEGO STATES ARE PROTECTIVE COVENANTS STATES THAT QUOTE SAID LOTS SHALL BE USED ONLY FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.
NO ACTIVITY SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON-SET LOTS OR IN ANY BUILDING THERE ON WHICH MAY CONSTITUTE OR BECOME AN ANNOYANCE OR NUISANCE OR DISTURB THE PEACE OF THE SUBDIVISION AND QUOTE, THE CARPENTERS AGREED TO OUR COVENANTS.
IN MY OPINION, ALLOWING A SHORT-TERM TOURIST RENTAL CONTRADICTS EVERY PART OF PROVISION.
NUMBER ONE IN COVENANTS, WARREN COUNTY, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, PLEASE, AND RESPECT THE VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY OF SLIGO ESTATES AND DENY THE REQUEST FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SHORT-TERM TOURISTS RENTAL FOR SEVEN OH THREE KILDARE DRIVE.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE? MY NAME IS MELANIE PARVIS, 32 ERIN COURT.
ONE THING I WANT TO MENTION, WE, I THINK WE'VE HEARD ALL THE REST IS MR. CARPENTER, WHO IS APPLYING WORKS FOR THE FOREIGN SERVICE AND HAS SAID THAT HE WILL IN THE FUTURE BE TAKING ASSIGNMENTS OVERSEAS.
AGAIN, THE RENTERS THAT ARE THERE NOW ARE BECAUSE HE WAS OVERSEAS.
I DON'T THINK THAT THAT IS A CLOSE ENOUGH MONITORING OF ANY TYPE OF SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
WHO'S GOING TO LOOK INTO THAT.
I MEAN, WHO'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A PROPERTY MANAGER, BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME AS HAVING THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY OWNS A PROPERTY THERE.
AND I THINK THAT IS ACTUALLY PART OF AN AIRBNB AGREEMENT, UM, THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.
AND, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD HAVE ANYBODY VERY CLOSE BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE BACKWOODS.
SO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOMEBODY WITHIN 15 MINUTES, I'VE STAYED AT AN AIRBNB AND THAT LADY WAS TWO HOUSES DOWN.
AND AS VETTING PEOPLE, THERE'S NO VETTING GOING ON WITH AIRBNB.
IF YOU GOT THE RIGHT CREDIT CARD, YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO RENT IT.
THAT DOESN'T SPEAK ANYTHING FOR THE PERSON'S CHARACTER.
ANYONE ELSE? THIRD AND FINAL CALL PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.
ANY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION, IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION? SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, YOU DID SAY THAT YOU HAD 20 OUT OF 22 VOTES.
ONE WAS THAT ONE VOTE FOR HOUSEHOLD OR WAS THAT VOTE? INCLUDING HUSBAND AND WIFE OR FAMILY MEMBERS OF ONE HOUSEHOLD.
SO WE HAVE 25 WATTS AND 22 WALK EACH.
THANK YOU, MR. CARPENTER IN REFERENCE TO WORK.
[01:35:01]
TO, UM, TAKE CARE OF THAT IF YOU'RE OVERSEAS? YES, SIR.UH, I, I THINK THAT'S, FOR ME, THAT'S AN UNKNOWN.
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO ADDRESS THAT.
CAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT OVERSEAS.
WE'RE HERE STATE SIDE FOR NOW.
UM, IF WE DO GO BACK OVERSEAS AND WE DECIDE THAT WE WANT TO HAVE THIS SHORT TERM, WE HAVE OPTIONS.
WE MIGHT PUT IN A LONG-TERM RENTER IN THERE.
WE MIGHT DO A SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
UH, SO AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A THEORETICAL, BUT IF WE DID SHORT-TERM RENTAL WHILE WE WERE OVERSEAS, THEN WE WOULD HAVE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON THAT WE TRUST.
I MEAN, WE, WE HAVE MORE AT STAKE TO LOSE THAN ANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS DO.
UM, AND SO WE WOULD DEFINITELY MAKE A DECISION TO HAVE SOMEBODY CLOSE BY THAT WE TRUST THAT COULD MANAGE OUR PROPERTY FOR.
AND I GUESS MY OTHER QUESTION, CAUSE YOU HAD MENTIONED IT WHEN YOU FIRST CAME UP.
UM, AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE MENTIONED THAT IF, IF THERE WAS UNANIMOUS AGAINST THOSE, DO YOU STILL FEEL THE SAME THAT YOU WANT TO GO FORWARD THIS? OR WE JUST ASKED HER, I MEAN, WE JUST ASKED OUR LONG-TERM OWNERS TO EXTEND IF THEY WANT TO EXTEND WORK, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE FACE OF OUR COMMUNITY SAYING NO, THAT'S A SEPARATE PROCESS.
THE PROCESS HERE IS THE PERMIT.
UM, THE REASON WHY I DECIDED TO SPEND A TANK OF GAS TO COME HERE TONIGHT AND, AND HOPEFULLY NOT A WASTE OF YOUR TIME, BUT TAKE YOUR TIME, UH, IS, IS THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, SCENARIOS IN THE FUTURE.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF WE'RE LIVING UP THERE FULL-TIME AND WE WANT TO RENT OUT A ROOM OF OUR HOUSE WHILE WE LIVED THERE A SHORT ON THE SHORT TERM BASIS.
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD AT THAT TIME.
THIS IS JUST AN IDEA, RIGHT? THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING AT THAT TIME WE WOULD BRING BEFORE THE COMMUNITY, VERY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCE THAN THE ONE YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT.
UM, AND I FIGURE WE'VE ALREADY, WE'RE, WE'RE 90% INTO THIS PROCESS WHEN THE NEW AND THE COVENANTS WERE CHANGED.
UM, LET'S JUST SEE THIS PROCESS THROUGH IF YOU GUYS DECIDE.
NO THEN OF COURSE, THAT, THAT WON'T BE A POSSIBILITY, BUT IF YOU DECIDE TO GRANT US THE PERMIT, THEN THAT'S SOMETHING WE ADDRESS DOWN THE ROAD.
BUT NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUT IT, PUT THIS ON AIR MAYBE NEXT WEEK OR WHENEVER THE, THE COUNTY PROCESS IS OVER BECAUSE WE HAVE RENOWNED RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE, IF NOT, IS THERE ONE MORE THING? SORRY.
DID YOU SAY YOU HAD A LONG-TERM RULE IN THERE? YES, MA'AM AND THAT'S A YEAR OR SIX MONTHS THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR THREE YEARS.
THEIR TERM WAS TO END THE SUMMER IN THE ANTICIPATION OF, OF HAVING, AND BY THE WAY, THIS ISN'T FOR US, WE DON'T SEE THIS AS A, AS A BUSINESS.
WE SEE THIS AS A CHANCE FOR OUR FAMILY TO VISIT OUR HOME AS OFTEN AS WE, AS OFTEN AS WE CAN.
AND TO DO THAT, TO MAKE ENDS MEET, THIS IS A WAY TO, TO DO THAT.
UM, SO JUST, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT SOME OF THE, I THINK I USUALLY ASSUME NOBLE INTENT.
AND SO JUST TO CLARIFY THAT, THAT OUR INTENT WAS NOT TO, THIS IS NOT MY RETIREMENT PLAN.
UM, BUT, UM, YEAH, WELL WE'RE REASSESSING OUR SITUATION AT THIS POINT.
SO WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION SOON.
IS THERE A MOTION TO SERVE THE PUBLIC HEARING PART THIS OVER? SORRY, I JUST WANTED TO, UH, ADDRESS THE POINT THAT THAT WAS JUST MADE.
UM, BUT THE PUBLIC HEARINGS OVER AT YOU HAD YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
I DO HAVE, I DO HAVE A QUESTION AND ACTUALLY IT WOULD BE MAYBE FOR MR. LAMB.
UM, WE'VE NEVER HAD A SHORT-TERM TOURIST RENTAL APPROVED THAT ONCE IT WAS APPROVED, IT WENT INTO LITIGATION WITH A, UM, HOA OR POA, UM, WHAT WOULD BE OUR ABILITY TO ENFORCE THAT THE RESTRICT THE CONDITIONS AND THE REGULATIONS OF THE COUNTY IF THEY WERE IN LITIGATION WITH AN HOA OVER THE USE ITSELF.
AND I DUNNO IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THAT.
WELL, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF THINGS, UM, FIRST OF ALL, THE, THE NEW DONE COVENANT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ENFORCEABLE.
AND SO BASICALLY IF THE RESTRICTED COVENANTS, UM, HAD A PROCEDURE WHEREBY HOMEOWNERS COULD AMEND IT
[01:40:01]
AT LESS THAN UNANIMOUS, THEN YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE VALID.IF NOT THE RULE IS EVERYBODY'S GOT TO SIGN IT, UM, TO BE BOUND BY IT.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER TO THAT IS.
UM, BUT IF THERE WAS LITIGATION ON THIS AFTERWARDS, THE COUNTY WOULD NOT BE A PARTY TO IT.
AND, YOU KNOW, FROM THE COUNTY'S PERSPECTIVE, THAT IS A PRIVATE MATTER BETWEEN THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND THE, AND THE PROPERTY OWNER.
I DON'T WANT TO KEEP YOUR STUFF.
UH, AND THIS IS WHAT WOULD, WHAT WOULD BE AT ANY WAY, BUT THANK YOU.
IF THIS PASSES, WE WILL BE IN LITIGATION.
DO WE HAVE, WELL, I'LL SPEAK FIRST, MISS CALLERS.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I WANT TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS AT THE MOMENT.
I THINK I NEED TIME TO DIGEST ALL OF THIS.
I AM A PROPERTY RIGHTS PERSON.
I BELIEVE THAT PERSON SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WITH THEIR PROPERTY WITHIN THE GUIDELINES AND ZONING ORDINANCES AND GET THAT THEY WANT HE'S CURRENTLY RENTING THE PROPERTY.
SO IF WE USE THAT AS A GUIDE, IT IS BUSINESS.
HE IS PUTTING IT ON HIS W TWO OR ON YOUR, ON HIS TAX RETURN.
YOU'RE EITHER RENTING IT LONG-TERM OR YOU'RE WRITING IT SHORT TERM, BUT YOU'RE RENTING IT.
SO I'M ASSUMING YOU HAVE PROPERTY MANAGERS SINCE YOU'RE AWAY OVERSEAS IN THE THREE YEARS THAT YOU'VE OWNED OR RENTED THE PROPERTY.
I'M ASSUMING YOU HAD A PROPERTY MANAGER OR THE PERSON LIVING HERE WAS THE DE FACTO PROPERTY MANAGER PERHAPS, BUT YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SURE I SEE THE DIFFERENCE, THE DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN OPINION, ONE SHORT TERM, AND ONCE FOR THREE YEARS, UM, IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY LONGER THAN IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY IN THERE AND MR. HANLON, TRUE MOMMY WITH THIS, BUT I KNOW RIGHT NOW, IF YOU CAN'T EVICT PEOPLE, UM, UNDER THE COVID EMERGENCY GUIDELINES, EVICTION IS NOT POSSIBLE.
SO IF YOU HAVE A BAD RENTER, YOU HAVE NO YOU'RE STUCK WITH THEM.
UM, WHEREAS AT LEAST IN SHORT-TERM RENTAL, YOU CAN SAY, YOU'RE NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN.
SO THAT, THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS, MY INITIAL THOUGHTS, BUT I, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO DRAW, UH, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE THIS MANY FOLKS AND THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS AGAINST IT, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.
MADAM CHAIR, I'VE GOT A QUESTION OR MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN ANSWER IT IF WE APPROVE IT OR DENY IT, LET'S ASSUME WE'D DENY IT.
IF WE DENY IT, DOES THAT, THAT PUTS THEM IN MITIGATION.
AND THE COUNTY IS OUT OF THAT.
WE'RE NOT MAKING THAT DECISION.
ONCE THEY GO THROUGH THEIR LITIGATION, THAT THEN, THEN THEY CAN BRING IT BACK TO US.
I THINK I'M JUST TRYING TO, YEAH.
SO I THINK IF YOU DENIED IT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD BE SUING ANYBODY.
I GUESS THE HOMEOWNER COULD SUE US FOR THAT, BUT THEY WOULDN'T WIN.
AND I WOULD BE REALLY UNLIKELY.
UM, I ALSO JUST KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE ACTUALLY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING JUST YET, SO WE PROBABLY SHOULD FORMALLY DO THIS.
I EVEN HIT THE GAMBLE THIS TIME.
UM, AND I, AND I, I PERSONALLY AGREE WITH WHAT MRS. OATES SAID, AND I AM A PROPERTY RIGHTS PERSON.
UM, BUT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT WHEN YOU HAVE A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIS AND EVERYONE'S AGAINST IT.
UM, IT DOESN'T MAKE FOR A VERY NEIGHBORLY SITUATION.
AND THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU MADE REFERENCE, I ASKED THE QUESTION OF AFTER HEARING ALL THIS AND ALREADY KNOWING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF IT BEFORE YOU CAME HERE, IF THE STATEMENT THAT YOU MADE, IF EVERYBODY WAS AGAINST IT, YOU WOULD DO, YOU WOULD STOP THE PROCEEDINGS.
UM, SO I'M KIND OF CONFUSED AS TO YOU MAKE THAT STATEMENT THAT YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD WITH IT.
UM, SO THIS IS, IT'S, ALL OF THESE ARE ALWAYS DIFFICULT BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS ANYTHING IN THE BACKYARD.
SO BALANCING OUT PROPERTY OWNERS RIGHTS WITH THE OVERALL COMMUNITY AND HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THE COMMUNITY MAKES IT, MAKES IT A VERY DIFFICULT
[01:45:01]
THING.AND I KNOW, SO IT'S, THAT'S MY FEELINGS ON IT.
AND THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION HERE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, I GUESS WE COULD TABLE IT OVERNIGHT, OR SOMEBODY IS GOING TO MAKE THEM, SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
MADAM CHAIR I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE IT FOR 30 DAYS.
GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE LOOK AT IT INDIVIDUALLY.

THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR ENCLOSED SELF STORAGE AND SELF STORAGE FACILITIES, UH, AS WELL AS WHAT OUR SECOND CUP IS HERE TONIGHT FOR THE BOWDEN SELF STORAGE, UH, BOWDEN RV STORAGE AS WELL.
UH, THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THE PERFECT SITE FOR THE PERFECT SPOT, THE ADJOINING NEIGHBORS, UH, VIRGINIA POWER TO THE SOUTH,
[01:50:01]
UH, TO THE BOTTOM BOTTOM OF THE SKETCH RIGHT THERE, THAT'S THE HIGH, EXTRA HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES THAT RUN THROUGH THERE TO THE BACK OF US IS AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES.AND OF COURSE THE NEW DOMINION POWER PLANT.
SO THIS IS A FANTASTIC USE HERE.
UM, WE STARTED THE PROJECT WITH A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE ENTIRE, UH, FRONT ROYAL STEVEN CITY STRASBURG MARKET.
THE MAR THE FEASIBILITY STUDY CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS A DEFINITE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SELF STORAGE IN THIS MARKET.
AND I'LL JUMP AHEAD A LITTLE BIT.
UH, WE'VE ASSEMBLED THE TEAM WITH SAA ARCHITECTS OUT OF YORK, PENNSYLVANIA.
ONE OF THE PREMIER SELF-STORAGE ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS IN THE, IN THE REGION, UH, OUR CONTRACT AND TEAM WILL BE H AND W CONTRACTORS OUT OF WINCHESTER AND BENCHMARK CONSTRUCTION OUT OF, UH, LATIN COUNTY.
THE MANAGER FOR THE FACILITY IS SELF STORAGE.
PLUS IT WILL BE BRANDED AS SELF STORAGE PLUS SELF STORAGE, PLUS AS A MANAGEMENT COMPANY OUT OF WASHINGTON, DC, THAT CURRENTLY MANAGES 62 LOCATIONS IN THE D IN THE DMV.
UM, AS, UH, TAREN INDICATED WILL BE PHASED DEVELOPMENT.
THAT DEVELOPMENT WILL BE PHASED DEPENDING ON MARKET NEED AND LEASE UP.
UH, THE ONLY COMMENT THAT I WILL MAKE IS THAT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO TWEAK THE NUMBERS A LITTLE BIT.
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE THAN WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED VERSUS DRIVE UP AGAIN.
UH, WE'RE RELYING ON THE OPINIONS OF THE EXPERTS NOW.
UM, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, OTHER THAN THE, UH, WARREN COUNTY SHERIFF AND THE WARREN COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT HAVE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO ME AND ARE ANXIOUS TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THE HOUSE BEFORE WE TEAR IT DOWN.
SO THEY, UH, THEY CAN DO SWAT TRAINING AND OF COURSE WE'RE ANXIOUS TO PARTICIPATE.
SO, UH, THAT'S IT, UH, NOT NOTHING MORE, ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE? THANK YOU.
IT'S GOING TO BE DESIGNED IT LIKE AN OFFICE BUILDING VERY MUCH, SO VERY MUCH SO IT'S SINGLE STORY.
WE'LL, WE'LL OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME FACADE FEATURES, EXCUSE ME.
UH, SOME OF THE TRADITIONAL SELF STORAGE FEATURES THAT SHOW, UH, KIND OF THE FAKE DRIVE UP, UH, THE FAKE INTERIOR UNITS, GREAT FOR ADVERTISING.
BUT AS FAR AS THE ARCHITECTURAL FACADE, WE WILL TREAT WINCHESTER ROAD AS OUR PRIMARY ENTRANCE.
THE ENTRANCE IS GOING TO BE TO THE VERY SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT TO THE POWER LINES.
UH, AGAIN, WE'VE DONE OUR MEETINGS WITH V DOT THEY'VE TOLD US WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
THE, UM, WE'VE GOT EXCELLENT SITE.
SO OBVIOUSLY THE SELL SIDE OF THE MAJOR BUILDING OR BUILDINGS, DEPENDING ON HOW IT LAYS OUT, UH, THAT WILL BE TREATED AS WELL.
THE NORTH SIDE AND THE EAST SIDE ARE PRETTY MUCH WHERE ALL THE ACTION'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND THEN I KNOW IT'S THE NEXT PUBLIC HEARING, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO DO THE RV STUFF BEHIND.
AND THE R AND RB BOAT PARKING IS REALLY JUST A PLACE HOLDER.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PLANT TO THE VERY RIGHT HAND SIDE, WE'RE SHOWING ABOUT A DOZEN BOAT AND RV PARKS.
THERE THAT'S NOT MAY BE THE PRIMARY BUSINESS.
THAT'S JUST LITERALLY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO FIT IN REALLY ANYTHING MORE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, AS YOU PHASE THE DEVELOPMENT, WE'LL DO ALL THE SITE WORK ALL AT ONCE.
EVERYTHING, GET EVERYTHING DONE AT ONCE.
BUT YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU CAN RENT OUT A PARKING SPACE FOR 75 BUCKS A MONTH, WHY NOT HEARING IS NOW OLDER? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE FORD? THIS IS ROCKY.

[I8. Conditional Use Permit 2021-03-06, Jacob Foltz for a Commercial Repair Garage in Combination with a Single-Family Dwelling - Joe Petty]
USE PERMIT NUMBER 2021 DASH THREE DASH ONE SIX.JACOB BAR QUOTES, COMMERCIAL GARAGE REPAIR.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A COMMERCIAL GARAGE REPAIR.
THE OWNER OPERATES A MOBILE FORKLIFT BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN FAMILY OWNED FOR MANY YEARS, AND OCCASIONALLY PROJECTS NEED TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO A SHOP FOR ADDITIONAL WORK.
THE PROPERTY OWNER AND APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO CONSTRUCT A DETACHED GARAGE ON THE PROPERTY THAT ALLOWS THEM TO PERFORM THIS WORK AND KEEP THEM MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT AND DOORS.
THE PROPERTY IS OWNED AGRICULTURAL.
IF YOU NOTICE FROM YOUR LOCATION MAP, IT IS SURROUNDED BY VACANT FORESTRY PARCELS, AND THERE ARE FEW CONDITIONS I'LL GO THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
UM, NO INOPERABLE VEHICLES OR EQUIPMENT SHALL BE STORED OUTDOORS ON THE PROPERTY.
AGAIN, INTENT OF THIS IS TO CONSTRUCT A DETACHED GARAGE TO STORE THOSE ITEMS IN NEW, MORE THAN THREE FORKLIFTS WILL BE STORED OUTDOORS AT ANY ONE TIME.
HE DOES OWN HIS OWN TO MOVE AROUND SOME OF THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT ON NUMBER THREE, WASTE MATERIALS, FLUIDS, PARTS, AND OTHER DEBRIS SHALL BE DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
UM, AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE APPLICANT DOES OWN THE MOBILE FORKLIFT BUSINESS, AND MOST OF THOSE MATERIALS DO STAY ON THE TRUCK AS THEY HAVE TO USE THOSE IN THE FIELD.
AND THE NUMBER FOUR WAIVER TO THE REQUIRED ACCESS TO STATE MAINTAINED ROADS SHOULD BE GRANTED.
GIVEN THE BUSINESS TRAFFIC IS LIMITED TO SCHEDULE DROP OFF AND PICK UP A FORKLIFT VEHICLES, EQUIPMENT.
UM, SO TO FURTHER ELABORATE ON THE USE.
SO TRADITIONALLY WE GET THESE IN, THESE ARE FOR AUTO REPAIR COMMERCIAL GARAGE.
UM, THE APPLICANT DOES HAVE A HOME OCCUPATION FOR HIS MOBILE FORKLIFT BUSINESS, BUT THIS IS AS THAT PROCESS GROWS AND OUR BUSINESS GROWS.
THIS IS KIND OF HOW THAT WOULD WORK.
YOU GO FROM THE HOME OCCUPATION TO NOW THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UM, AUTO REPAIR GARAGES DO REQUIRE THAT STATE MAINTAIN ACCESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE TRAFFIC GENERATED.
THE TRAFFIC GENERATED HERE IS VERY RARE BECAUSE MOST OF THE WORK IS DONE OFF SITE.
UM, THE DETACHED GARAGE WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO IT INDOORS, KEEP MATERIALS IN DOORS AND KEEP THE PROPERTY CLEANED UP AND THE NOISE DOWN AS WELL.
UM, THAT WAS KIND OF ADDRESSED A LITTLE BIT IN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION LEVEL.
[02:00:01]
THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS CONSTRUCTED A FENCE, AND AGAIN, IT IS HEAVILY FORESTED.ALSO, I JUST WANT TO MENTION WITH, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY AUTO REPAIR COMMERCIAL GARAGES AND ANY CUP, OUR OFFICE DOES DO ANNUAL INSPECTIONS OF THESE TYPES OF USES.
UM, WE TYPICALLY DO THOSE IN THE SPRING LAST YEAR WITH 2020.
IT KIND OF LIMITED US WITH OUR ONSITE VISITS, BUT EACH GARAGE HAS SPECIFIC SITE CONDITIONS THAT COME UP WITH INOPERABLE VEHICLES AND THEY'RE LIMITED PER THE SITE ITSELF.
SO KENNELS SHORT-TERM RENTALS, UM, COMMERCIAL GARAGES, PRIVATE USE CAMPING, THEY ALL REQUIRE ANNUAL REVIEWS, AND THIS IS SUBJECT TO THOSE ANNUAL REVIEWS AS WELL.
BUT AGAIN, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT USE THAN YOUR TYPICAL AUTO REPAIR ON THE APPLICANTS ARE HERE THIS EVENING.
I THINK IF YOU'D LIKE TO ASK THEM ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE USE, I'D ALSO BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? UH, JACOB FAULTS TO EIGHT EIGHT DURHAM DRIVE FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA, TWO TWO SIX THREE ZERO.
UM, BASICALLY, UM, LOOKING TO PUT THE BUILDING UP, UH, SO THAT WE CAN, UM, CONTAIN SEVERAL PRO FOR PERSONAL USE AND FOR THE BUSINESS USE.
SO, UM, IT WILL HELP TO KEEP NOISE DOWN.
UM, WE DON'T USE, WE DON'T, WE DON'T DO VERY MANY JOBS AT, WE WON'T BE DOING A VERY MANY JOBS AT THE SITE.
IT'S ABOUT 5% OF OUR BUSINESS, MAYBE.
UM, SO WE JUST NEED, WE KIND OF NEED A BUILDING TO PUT UP SO WE CAN KIND OF CONTAIN EVERYTHING AND JUST, UM, KEEP THE, KEEP, KEEP THE AREA NICE AND CLEAN.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME OR, SORRY, I'M NOT MUCH OF A PUBLIC SPEAKER.
UM, SO THIS IS NOT A CURRENT BUILDING.
YOU'RE GOING TO CONSTRUCT THIS.
YEAH, I'M GOING TO KIND OF CONSTRUCT IT.
SO FOR LIKE THE PERSONAL SIDE, I'M GOING TO PUT A BUILDING IN A LOCATION.
I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF MY REPAIR STUFF LEGALLY OUT OF IT.
UM, SO IF I DON'T GET IT, I'M NOT GOING TO OBVIOUSLY WORK OUT OF IT FOR THE BUSINESS SIDE, BUT I'M GOING TO PUT A BUILDING THERE FOR MY PERSONAL USE ANYHOW.
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT REALLY LIKE GOING TO BE AN EYESORE FOR THE NEIGHBORS OR ANYTHING.
ALL THE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE CLOSE TO ME THAT WILL ACTUALLY SEE IT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
UM, DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
SO, UM, ALONG THE BACKSIDE OF OUR PROPERTY, I DID CONSTRUCT, UH, A FENCE, UM, ON THE, THE LINE THAT'S CLOSEST TO IT.
AND THEN I PLANTED SEVERAL TREES TO KIND OF HELP BLOCK OFF THE VIEW OF THE BUILDING WHEN WE DO PUT IT UP.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS FROM THE BOARD MRS. ROCKY? DID ANYONE SIGN UP? NO.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER SECOND, CALL ANYONE LIKE THIS THIRD AND FINAL CALL HEARING IS CLOSED.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? I JUST LIKE MAKE A POINT I SOMETHING IT'S CONCERNED.
UH, WE, WE HAVE PASSED THESE CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS BEFORE, AND WE PUT A CONDITION ON IT THAT, UM, IN OPERATABLE VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE STOLEN AND ROUTINELY I'LL GET A COMPLAINT THAT, HEY, YOU PASSED A RULE THAT SAYS ONLY SO MANY CARS CAN BE STORED AND THEN YOU GO BEHIND AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF EXTRA VEHICLES, SATURDAYS.
I PROBABLY NEED NOT NATAN WHAT WAS APPROVED.
SO PERHAPS JOKE AT HIM, ADDRESS IT IN SOME FASHION OR IT'S BECAUSE IT'S A CONCERN FOR SOME PEOPLE.
AND THIS HAS COME UP, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD THE AUTO REPAIR GARAGES, THEY GET ADDITIONAL WORK AND THEY JUST THEY'LL TAKE THE BUSINESS.
SO THEY'LL PUT THE VEHICLES OUT THERE AGAIN, THIS.
SO WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS SPECIFIC ITEM? YOU KNOW, THEY HAD THE MOBILE BUSINESS, THEY WANTED TO CONSTRUCT A DETACHED STRUCTURE FOR A HOME OCCUPATION THAT HAS TO BE LOCATED WITHIN THE 12, AS HE STATED, 5% OF HIS BUSINESS WILL ACTUALLY BE OUT OF THIS.
DOESN'T MEET, WHAT'S CONTINUED AS A HOME ENTERPRISE.
IT HAS TO BE THE COMMERCIAL GARAGE REPAIR, WHICH IS TRADITIONALLY HELD FOR THE AUTO REPAIR OR AUTO BODY.
SO IT'S GETTING LUMPED IN WITH THAT SPECIFIC USE, BUT GOING BACK TO, UM,
[02:05:01]
BOARD MEMBER FOX'S QUESTION, WE DO GET THOSE, WE DO CONDITION EACH ONE SPECIFICALLY TO ITS USE IN ITS SITE.SOME SITES COULD EASILY HOLD, YOU KNOW, 10 INOPERABLE VEHICLES.
AND THAT'S WHAT OUR ANNUAL INSPECTIONS CONDUCTED DO.
AND TRADITIONALLY IT'S EITHER MYSELF OR MR. WINLAND WHO WILL GO AROUND AND INSPECT EACH ONE.
YOU KNOW, AGAIN, LAST YEAR WE KIND OF GOT THROWN IN A LOOP WITH ALL OF OUR CUP APPLICATIONS, BUT MR. WILLIE HAS A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR, UM, APPLICANTS.
WE GOT, WE DOCUMENT THEM WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND HE WRITES NOTES IN THERE.
SO WE STARTED THAT REACH OUT FOR OUR CAMPING.
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE AUTO REPAIR AND WE'LL BE GETTING TO THOSE, BUT WE REVIEW THOSE ANNUALLY.
BUT IF WE, IF WE DO GET ANY CONCERNS OR ANYTHING COMES UP FROM ANY OF THESE TYPES OF USES, DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT OUR OFFICE DIRECTLY.
BUT I DON'T THINK WE'VE RECEIVED ANY CON COMPLAINTS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS DIRECTLY FROM ANY SPECIFIC RAJ.
BUT I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A FEW THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY TEETER, THEY BORDERLINE AND YOU'LL HAVE TO GO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE STILL ADHERING TO THOSE CONDITIONS.
SO SARAH MOTION, MADAM CHAIR, UM, I MOVED TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVED THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BY JACOB, OUR FAULTS OR COMMERCIAL BROAD REPAIR WITH THE CONDITIONS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF.
IS THERE A SECOND ROLL CALL, MRS. CHAVONNE MR. CARTER.
