[D. Report from the Virginia Department of Transportation]

MR. CARTER, GOOD MORNING.

MORNING, MATT.

CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS.

I TRUST EVERYBODY SURVIVED THE WET WEEKEND.

YOU KNOW, WE NEEDED THAT RAIN.

WELL, WE DID AND DODGED THE BULLET.

WE WERE, WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE AS COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO GOT IT.

SO.

ALL RIGHT.

OUR REPORT FOR THIS MONTH, UH, UNDER MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, UH, COMPLETED, UH, WE DID COMPLETE THE BOX T ON ROUTE 7 35.

THAT'S BOWMAN HOLLOW ROAD.

UH, WE NEGLECTED TO PUT THE ROAD NAMES DOWN, SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

WE'LL SURE TO CORRECT THAT THE NEXT TIME.

UH, WE COMPLETED MOWING ON OUR SECONDARY ROUTES.

UH, WE REMOVED DEAD TREES ON VARIOUS ROUTES.

UH, THE BOARD HAD A CONCERN ABOUT A TREE ON 55, UH, BETWEEN LINDA AND FRONT ROYAL.

THAT IS, UH, THAT'S TOO BIG FOR US.

IT HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO OUR CONTRACTOR AND THEY HAVE A 30 DAY RESPONSE TIME, WHICH SOME OF US ALREADY LAPSED, SO THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF SHORTLY.

UM, WE INSTALL PIPES ON 6 0 4 HARMONY HOLLOW ROAD, AND WE REPAIRED SHOULDERS ON, UH, 6 34 SMITH RON ROAD, EXCUSE ME.

WE GRADED AND, UH, APPLIED STONE ON OUR VARIOUS STABILIZED ROADS.

WE DID SOME ASPHALT SKIN PATCHING ON VARIOUS ROUTES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, AND WE USED OUR SLOPE MOWER ON VARIOUS ROUTES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

THIS MONTH WE'RE PLANNING TO, UH, CONTINUE WITH OUR DITCHING ON VARIOUS ROUTES.

WE'LL ALSO CONTINUE WITH THE SLOPE MOWER AND WE HAVE OUR DRY RUN SCHEDULED THIS MONTH, GETTING READY FOR A WINTER SEASON.

HOPEFULLY NOT A BAD ONE, BUT, AND THEN, UH, WE STILL HAVE SOME TREES ON VARIOUS ROUTES THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, AND WE WILL COMPLETE OUR MOWING ON OUR PRIMARY ROUTES IN THE COUNTY.

AND THEN, UH, WE ALWAYS CONTINUALLY GRADING OUR STABILIZED ROADS AS THEY'RE NEEDED, UH, FOR THE WHAT'S NOT ON HERE.

UM, IT JUST IS JUST A FYI FOR THE BOARD.

AND THIS REGARDS, THE RAILROAD OVERPASS ON ROCKLAND ROAD.

OKAY.

UH, WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING DEFINED DOWN CLOSER AND CLOSER.

THERE'S STILL A $2 MILLION SHORT FILE ON THAT PROJECT THAT IS A RESULT OF, UH, INFLATION AND MATERIAL INCREASED COST.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON CLOSING THAT GAP.

UH, RIGHT NOW IT'S PROPOSED TO GO TO AD IN AUGUST OF 23 AND BE RELEASED FOR CONSTRUCTION IN FEBRUARY OF 24 AND HOPEFULLY COMPLETED, UH, BY JUNE OF 25.

THAT'S THE SCHEDULE AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW.

AND ALSO UNDERSTAND, UH, MS. COOK, YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE SMART SCALE PROJECT TO, FOR THE LEFT TURN LANE AT FORT VALLEY ROAD? YES.

YES, I DO.

BECAUSE LAST WEEK, UM, THE BOARD APPROVED A C C U P RIGHT.

FOR A COMMERCIAL INDOOR OUTDOOR BATTY CASE.

CAUSE I HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF SOME OF OUR COMMUNITY OUT THERE BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC.

OKAY.

WELL THAT, THAT PROJECT, YOU KNOW, WAS SUBMITTED AS A SMART SCALE PROJECT THIS YEAR.

IT IS IN THE PROCESS NOW OF BEING SCORED AND WILL BE FORWARDED FORTH.

WE DON'T KNOW YET WHERE IT WILL FALL IN TERMS OF THE SCORING.

MM-HMM.

, UH, AND I KNOW YOU BROUGHT THIS OUT BEFORE, BUT SO WHAT, WHAT IS THE, THE VISION OF THAT PROJECT? IS IT JUST PUTTING A LEFT TURNING LANE THAT GOES INTO FORT VALLEY? YES.

OFF OF 55 GOING WEST? YES.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THAT OF COURSE THE, WE WILL HAVE TO WIDEN THE, UH, THE RIGHT TURN THROUGH LANE AT THAT POINT.

SO, YEAH.

SO WHEN YOU SAY IT'S UP FOR SCORING, SO IT'S NOT REALLY ON THE, THE PROJECT LIST AT THIS TIME? WELL, NO.

ALL PROJECTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED

[00:05:01]

OKAY.

UH, THAT IS ALL I HAVE IS THE BOARD HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? OH, ONE MORE THING.

UH, MR. MAY.

UH, YES SIR.

OUR REFLECTORS THAT GO ON THOSE, UH, CONCRETE NOSES HAVE COME IN, SO WE SHOULD SEE THOSE INSTALLED WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS.

YOU'LL MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY .

I HOPE SO.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CARTER? I JUST WANNA SAY MR. CARTER, THAT, UM, THE LIGHT WAS OUT AT RELIANCE IN 5 22 ON SUNDAY MORNING.

AT THE TIME I WENT THROUGH FOR CHURCH, THERE WAS A SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT DEPUTY SITTING THERE, AND BY THE TIME I LEFT CHURCH IT WAS REPAIRED.

AND SO IN THE PORN RAIN, SO I JUST WANNA SAY BRAVO .

YEAH.

I'LL PASS OUT ONTO OUR SIGNAL TECH PEOPLE.

.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS, IT'S, THAT IS A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION.

YES, IT IS.

YEAH.

.

YES IT IS.

AND THAT PROJECT, YOU KNOW, HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED FOR THAT LEFT TURN LANE? IT HAS, YEAH.

I DON'T HAVE THE, THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, BUT I JUST WANNA SAY, UH, FOR THE PEOPLE ON SMITH RUN ROAD, THEY APPRECIATED THE SHOULDER WORK THAT WAS DONE.

UM, THAT'S A TIGHT LITTLE ROAD THERE AND GETTING PUSHED OVER.

THEY WERE GETTING SOME CAR DAMAGE, SO THEY, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BUT POSITIVE ABOUT THE SHOULDER REPAIR, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND, UM, FOR ALL THE GRASS MOWING, I, THIS HAS BEEN, UM, A BLESSING YEAR FOR FARMERS, BUT IT'S BEEN ROUGH ON YOU GUYS FOR KEEPING UP WITH THE ROADS AND THE, AND THE GRASS.

SO WE, UH, WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THEY DO TO PUT INTO IT.

AND, UM, I I, UM, NOT SURE WHAT SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA GOT AS FAR AS THE HURRICANE IRON, BUT WE, WE'D MISSED THE BULLET AND I KNOW YOUR GUYS HAD TO PREPARE FOR THAT.

SO, UM, THOSE THAT MAY HAVE GOT SENT OTHER PLACE, WE HOPE, UH, WILL KEEP THEM IN OUR PRAYERS.

THAT ALL IS GOING WELL WITH THAT.

I HOPE SO.

I, UH, I HAVEN'T HEARD, UH, DAMAGE REPORTS FROM THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PART AND THE HAN ROADS AREA.

UH, I, I KNOW THAT THEY RECEIVED CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN WE DID, AND WE HAD MOBILIZED WHAT WE CALL HURT TEAMS, UH, TO, TO DISPATCH IF NEEDED.

SO WE WEREN'T CALLED, I'M ASSUMING THAT IT WASN'T AS BAD AS WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD.

I KNOW.

UM, MY GOODNESS, FLORIDA AND EVERYWHERE ELSE, IT'S JUST MY HEART GOES OUT TO THOSE PEOPLE.

I LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND HOW DO YOU EVEN BEGIN? I, IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY LONG, PAINFUL PROCESS.

AND THE LOSS OF LIFE, I THINK IS UP OVER A HUNDRED NOW, SO YES.

WOW.

WELL, OUR PRAYERS GO OUT TO ALL OF 'EM, SO THANK YOU, SIR.

IF NO ONE ELSE HAS ANY, WISH YOU A GOOD DAY.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

THAT WAS A QUICK ONE.

OKAY, , MOVING

SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL HA GET A BIG TURNOUT OF, UM, UH, CARS.

WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE PHI, WHICH IS, HAS A HANGER OUT THERE, UM, UH, AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE LIKE A HELICOPTER PRESENTATION.

THEY'LL BE OUT THERE SHOWING THE HELICOPTER, AND THEN I THINK THEY'RE GONNA HAVE SOME ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE TERMINAL AS WELL.

SO THEY'LL BE THERE AS LONG AS THEY DON'T GET CALLED AWAY, YOU KNOW, SO THEY'RE GONNA BE, UM, PARTICIPATING.

AND THEN THE FRONT ROW SKYDIVING, THEY, THEY'RE, UM, UH, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE LIKE A DEMONSTRATION, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ACTUALLY DOING ANY, UM, UH, UH, SESSIONS, IF YOU WILL, BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, WE WANNA KEEP THE AIRPORT OPERATIONAL AND STUFF, BUT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A DEMONSTRATION OF HOW TO, YOU KNOW, ROLL UP THE, THEIR, UM, UH, THE, THE PARACHUTES AND THAT KIND OF THING.

AND THEN, UM, LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I, UM, PARTICIPATED IN THE, THE FRONT ROYAL ROYAL FRONT, ROYAL WARREN COUNTY TRIAD COMMISSION CEREMONY, WHERE WE HAD OUR, UH, GAS OF OUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL JASON MYERS ATTENDED TO THAT.

AND, AND I'M A BIG ADVOCATE FOR OUR SENIORS OUT IN WARREN COUNTY.

SO I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO BE PART OF THAT.

UM, SO, UM, I, AT THE END, I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THAT WAS A, A VERY GRACIOUS CEREMONY AND I WAS VERY HONORED TO BE PART OF THAT.

AND, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. MA.

UM, YES, UH, GOOD MORNING ON THE 26TH, I WENT TO THE ED MEETING, UM, WITH, UM, ALL OF THE ED FOLKS.

AND THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT MEETING.

WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT, UH, WE WERE DOING AND, UH, HOW THEY WERE ACCOMPLISHING THINGS.

SO IT WENT REALLY WELL.

UM, ON THE 27TH, I WENT TO THE TOWN AND COUNTY REVITAL REVITALIZATION OR DIE PROGRAM, WHICH IS BASICALLY ALL OF THE THINGS THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS DOING ARE, AND ARE TRYING TO DO TO BETTER IT, TO GET PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER.

AND THAT'S THE WHOLE THING.

WE'RE ALL CITIZENS AND WE HAVE TO, UH, DEPEND UPON OURSELVES TO BECOME BETTER CITIZENS AND LOOK AT THE WAY THE COUNTY IS BEING RUN, HOW IT'S BEING CLEANED UP, HOW IT'S BEING, UM, JUST PREED UP TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT UNLESS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER, WE GET NOWHERE.

UM, SO I, I REALLY ENJOYED IT.

UH, THEY HAD SOME BREAKOUT SESSIONS AT THE END WHERE WE THOUGHT OF THINGS THAT, WHAT WE COULD ACTUALLY DO FOR OUR COMMUNITIES AND, UM, HOPEFULLY THAT SOME OF 'EM WILL COME TO BE, AND YOU'LL SEE 'EM, UM, IN, IN THE NEXT WEEKS THINGS THAT HAPPEN.

AND, UH, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY NOTICE, I HOPE.

UM, ON THE, UH, 27TH ALSO, WE HAD A, UM, A VACO ZOOM CALL, WHICH I ATTENDED AND ALSO A BOS MEETING.

SO WE WERE PRETTY BUSY ON TUESDAY.

UM, ON THE 28TH WE HAD A DEVELOPMENT REVIEW MEETING WITH THE TOWN AND THE COUNTY, UM, JUST LETTING US KNOW WHAT THE TOWN IS DOING, WHAT THE COUNTY'S DOING AS FAR AS BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTIONS AND THINGS THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT.

AND, UH, THEY DID A GREAT JOB.

IT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION FOR EVERYBODY.

UH, I WAS ALSO AT THE, ON THE 29TH, I WAS ALSO AT THE, UM, UH, TRIAD SIGNING FOR THE, WITH THE SHERIFF AND THE POLICE AND THE ATTORNEYS GENERAL.

AND JUST UNDERSTANDING HOW HOW OUR SENIORS VIEW US WAS GREAT BECAUSE WE HAD ALMOST HALF A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE.

UH, IT WAS, IT WAS GREAT JUST TO SEE THE OUT THE OUT OUTCRY OF THE CITIZENS.

AND, UM, I FELT GOOD ABOUT IT.

UM, UH, WE ALSO HAD A POS F MEETING WITH, UM, SUPERVISOR, UM, UH, CHERYL AND ED AND, AND, UH, WITH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE POS F TO TALK ABOUT SANOR FARMS GOOD MEETINGS.

WE GOT SOME THINGS STARTED.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME THINGS COMPLETED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

UM, WELL THAT ALSO TOOK US TO THE BOS FINALIZATION FOR THE WORK SESSION ON FRIDAY.

UM, ALSO LINDA FUNK, I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL KNOW LINDA FUNK, BUT LINDA WAS, UH, A MEMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES FOR 30 PLUS YEARS.

SHE RETIRED ON, ON, UH, I THINK IT WAS WEDNESDAY.

[00:15:02]

IT WAS THE 28TH.

I GOT MY DAYS ALL MIXED UP.

SO, BUT THAT WAS A REAL GOOD MEETING.

UM, I THINK IT WAS LIKE PRETTY CLOSE TO 35 OR 40 OF THE DSS PEOPLE AND REALLY ENJOYED THAT.

UM, AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR ME.

THANK YOU, SIR.

MRS. OZ.

MR. MABE COULD GIVE MY REPORT FOR ME CUZ I THINK WE WERE AT ALL THE SAME EVENTS, , BUT I, UM, SO, UM, I ATTENDED A LOT OF THINGS OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND IT'S ALL A BLUR AT THIS POINT.

BUT THE TWO THINGS THAT UM, I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT ARE THE TRIAD EVENT THAT WAS HELD HERE.

UM, THE CEREMONY WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IT WAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S STORY.

UM, AND ABOUT HIS, HIS, UM, MOTHER COMING HERE AS A TEENAGER ON A PLANE BY HERSELF WITH JUST A COUPLE OF DOLLARS IN HER POCKET AND THE AMERICAN DREAM THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED, THAT HER SON IS NOW THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THIS STATE OF VIRGINIA AND NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD CAN THAT BE ACCOMPLISHED.

AND HE HIGHLIGHTED, UM, THAT AND UNDERSCORED THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVING OUR COUNTRY.

AND, UM, AND THEN THAT'S A PERFECT SEGUE INTO, I WENT TO THE CIVIC PRIDE EVENT OF REVITALIZE OR DIE.

AND THAT EVENT, IT HIGHLIGHTED HOW COMMUNITIES THAT MAKE ITSELF PRESENTS ITSELF MORE BEAUTIFULLY AND ENCOURAGES ENTREPRENEUR, UH, ACTIVITY AND, YOU KNOW, TAKES MORE PRIDE IN THE COMMUNITY, ATTRACTS SUCCESS.

AND, UM, FOR THE LONGEST TIME, AND I I CAN SAY THIS CUZ I'VE LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE, UM, WE TALK SO NEGATIVELY ABOUT OURSELVES AND YET THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO VISIT US THINK WE'RE ONE OF THE GREATEST PLACES ON EARTH.

AND SO IT PERPLEXES ME ABOUT HOW WE CONTINUE THIS PERPETUAL NEGATIVITY.

AND SO, UM, ONE OF THE EFFORTS THAT WE'VE STARTED AT THE END OF THAT, A CALL TO ACTION WAS WHEN YOU POST SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY, JUST POST HASHTAG I LOVE FRONT ROYAL, UM, IT IS OUR COMMUNITY, WE SHARE IN IT.

SO, UM, THE CIVIC PRIDE THING TOUCHED ME AND, UM, MOTIVATED ME TO MOVE AND TRY TO HELP THE COMMUNITY, UH, UNDERSTAND HOW BEAUTIFUL WE REALLY ARE.

SO THAT'S MY REPORT.

THANK YOU.

UM, SEPTEMBER 21ST, UH, WE HAD A JOINT BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETING WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD.

MR. MABE AND I ARE ON THAT, UH, COMMITTEE WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD.

AND WE HAD, UM, WENT OVER THE CONTRACT AND, UM, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE REMODELING OF LF K.

AND IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR THAT WE HAVE CLOSED THE GAP IN THAT BUDGET AND THAT THINGS ARE GONNA BE MOVING FORWARD, UM, TO UPDATE.

IT'S A VERY SOLID BUILDING AND, UM, NEEDS A LOT OF THINGS BUT DOESN'T NEED A LOT OF THINGS AT THE SAME TIME, IF THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT SO SOLIDLY.

AND, UM, KUDOS TO THE LADIES IN THE, IN THE CAFETERIA BECAUSE THAT KITCHEN AFTER ALMOST, WHAT IS IT, 40, 47, 5 YEARS PLUS IT LOOKS SPANKING BRAND NEW.

AND, UH, AND THAT GOES TO THE DEDICATION OF THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE TO MAINTAIN IT IN SUCH A SPECTACULAR WAY.

UM, AND THEN ON SEPTEMBER 28TH, I HAD THE HONOR OF ATTENDING TWO MILESTONES.

ONE, MR. MABE TALKED ABOUT THE RETIREMENT OF LINDA FUNK FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES.

LINDA AND I WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER AND GRADUATED TOGETHER.

AND, UM, SO I KNOW HER WELL AND SHE'S WORKED FOR 36 YEARS, I BELIEVE, AT THE SOCIAL SERVICES AND LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH HER, UM, NOT JUST HERE IN THE BUILDING THAT SHE WAS IN, BUT THE PEOPLE SHE TOUCHED ALL OVER THE DIFFERENT SOCIAL SERVICES.

IT'S, UM, IT, IT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO HER KNOWLEDGE AND HOW MUCH SHE WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT HER JOB AND THE LEADERSHIP SHE HAD THERE.

SO SHE'S GONNA LEAVE A BIG SHOES FOR SOMEONE TO STEP INTO AND MOVE ON WITH.

AND SO WE WANNA THANK LINDA FOR HER DEDICATION TO THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I ATTENDED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SOUTH HORN VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT I, I, YOU KNOW, I THINK 50 YEARS AND I, I REMEMBER WHEN IT STARTED.

SO WHEW, TIME FLIES REALLY QUICKLY.

UM, LIFE MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING ARE STILL ACTIVE IN A VITAL PART OF THE SOUTH WARREN VOLUNTEER PAR DEPARTMENT.

RUBY UPDYKE, RUBY RUNS THAT APPLE BUTTER OPERATION, LIKE A WELL-OILED MACHINE, AND THE KITCHEN AS WELL.

WE ALL LOVE RUBY AND BUDDY ENGELS, WHO IS ALSO A LIFE MEMBER

[00:20:01]

UM, AND BUD WAS ALSO A SUPERVISOR AT ONE TIME FOR THE SOUTH RIVER DISTRICT.

AND THEN OTHER LIFE MEMBERS ARE BUBY FRISTO AND MARGIE HOFFMAN.

SO THAT'S A FEW PEOPLE FROM WHAT STARTED THERE, BUT THOSE PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE AND PUT LOVE, SWEAT AND TEARS IN THAT BUILDING.

A LOT OF APPLESAUCE AND BINGO THAT'S BEEN DONE OVER THE YEARS TO GET THEM WHERE THEY ARE.

UM, SEPTEMBER 29TH, I ATTENDED THE TRIAD AS WELL.

AND, UH, BLAKE, EVERYONE HAS SAID, UM, I THINK THE THING THAT TOUCHED ME THE MOST WAS, UM, JASON MYERS'S LOVE OF THIS COUNTRY.

AND I AGREE WITH HIM.

I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN LIVE HERE AND NOT UNDERSTAND THE GREAT FREEDOMS WE HAVE AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SACRIFICED TO GET US HERE.

AND HOW YOU CANNOT LOVE AND RESPECT BEING HERE IS JUST BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION.

UM, I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO A BROWN BAG LUNCH THAT DAY.

THAT'S A, A ONCE A MONTH TRAINING ON DIFFERENT THINGS FROM, UH, OUR COMMITTEE, THE CPM T COMMITTEE.

AND THIS ONE WAS ON SELF-CARE.

WELL, I KIND OF DITCHED IT, BUT MR. MARS AT DSS IS GONNA HAVE ANOTHER ONE.

AND HE SAID, I CAN SLIDE IN ON THAT ONE BECAUSE MY GRANDSONS CALLED ME AND SAID, GRANNY, CAN YOU COME HAVE LUNCH WITH US ? SO LIAM AND NOLAN WERE MY SELF CARE FOR THAT DAY, AND IF YOU HAVE GRANDKIDS OR KIDS TAKE TIME OUT AND GO HAVE LUNCH WITH THEM.

I, I WENT UP TO REI, HADN'T BEEN THERE SINCE COVID, SO I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO HAVE LUNCH WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GET IN.

I SAW FRIENDS THAT I WORKED WITH AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW, HAD A REALLY NICE CONVERSATION WITH CAFETERIA EIGHT AND SHE THOUGHT I WAS TOTALLY CRAZY THAT I SAID I MISS THAT.

BUT, UM, BECAUSE IT, IT'S AN EXPERIENCE TO HAVE LUNCH IN WITH TWO GRADES OF KIDS.

BUT I DO MISS IT AND, UM, TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF CARE AND GO DO THAT CUZ IT CERTAINLY MADE MY DAY.

I ALSO WANNA THANK JANE MEADOWS FOR ORGANIZING OUR FLU SHOT CLINIC THAT WENT ON YESTERDAY QUICK AND EASY, IN AND OUT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.

SO ANYONE WHO DIDN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, UM, YOU MISSED A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GET YOUR FLU SHOT WITHOUT A HASSLE.

AND THAT'S THE END OF MY REPORT.

DR.

DALEY.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

UH, DRUG COURT.

YES.

DRUG COURT.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO? SO I MET ACTUALLY ON FRIDAY WITH BETH RES, WHO IS OUR CONSULTANT IN, UM, IN HOUSE FOR THE DRUG COURT.

AND, UM, THINGS ARE, ARE MOVING VERY QUICKLY.

SHE WAS HERE LITERALLY GETTING SIGNATURES ON ON A DOCUMENT FROM MULTIPLE COUNTIES SO THAT WE COULD PARTICIPATE IN THE DRUG COURT TRAINING PROGRAM.

THE ENTIRE STAKEHOLDER GROUP MUST COMPLETE, UM, CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS OF TRAINING PRIOR TO IT GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT, UH, FOR APPROVAL.

AND SO SHE WAS HERE DOING THE LEGWORK TO GET THAT DONE.

AND I BOUGHT HER LUNCH BECAUSE I WANTED TO THANK HER FOR, YOU KNOW, BEING SO WILLING TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT WAS CONSUMING A LOT OF TIME.

BUT, UM, WE HAVE SO MUCH SUPPORT, UM, FOR THE DRUG COURT AND, UM, I, I FEEL VERY HOPEFUL ABOUT WHAT IS GONNA COME OUT OF THIS ENDEAVOR.

AND OUR TEAM WILL HAVE TRAINING, UH, THE WEEK AFTER VETERANS DAY IN NOVEMBER.

IT WILL BE LIKE NOVEMBER, UH, 13, 14, 15 IS THE APPROXIMATE DATES THERE.

BUT WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO GET THAT MOVED UP IN ADVANCE AND BE ABLE TO GET THAT TRAINING VERY QUICKLY.

SO THE STARS ARE ALIGNING ON THE DRUG COURT.

I'M VERY, AND, AND THANK YOU DR.

DAILEY, FOR YOUR SUPPORT I'D EVER, UM, ACKNOWLEDGED YOU THE OTHER DAY DURING, UM, THE TRIAD EVENT, BUT WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT.

AND HE ACTUALLY, SO I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW DR.

DAILEY ACTUALLY INVESTED IN MS. BETH REVI INTO THIS EVENT SO THAT WE COULD MAKE THE DRUG COURT HAPPEN.

AND I APPRECIATE THAT A LOT.

IT'S THE BOARD'S PRIORITY AND SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO FOR THE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD ON A NUMBER OF THINGS.

UH, MR. ROCKY? YEAH, SO THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED WORK SESSION FOR NEXT TUESDAY, WHICH IS GONNA BEGIN AT SIX, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE CIVIC CLERK REPRESENTATIVE JESSE PORTIS, I BELIEVE HIS NAME IS, HE'LL BE ZOOMING IN AND HE WILL BE PROVIDING TRAINING ON THE NEW AGENDA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE.

UH, LAST WEEK WE GOT THE DELIVERY OF THE IPADS

[00:25:01]

UH, I BELIEVE MR. JONES AND THE IT DEPARTMENT ARE GOING THROUGH AND CONFIGURING EVERYTHING, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING'S ON THE UP AND UP.

BUT I JUST WANNA SAY HOW PLEASED I AM THAT AFTER FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, THIS IS FINALLY A DREAM COMING TO FRUITION.

SO I WANTED TO THANK THE BOARD MEMBERS AND MR. UM, DR.

DAILEY FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THIS INITIATIVE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE TRAINING NEXT TUESDAY'S.

SO IPADS ARRIVE NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT.

GOOD JOB.

UM, REMIND YOU THAT THE ED HAS AN ADVANCED SCHEDULED A WEEK FROM FRIDAY, MR. PETTY, I THINK THE 14TH.

YES, SIR.

IT'S, UH, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14TH AT EIGHT DAYS.

OH, IT IS MORNING.

IT WILL BE IN THE MORNING.

OKAY.

CAUSE I SAW SOMETHING THAT IT WAS AFTERNOON.

YEAH, IT'LL BE IN THE MORNING.

OKAY.

UH, ALONG WITH THE WINGS AND WHEELS ON SATURDAY, THE, UH, COUNTY IS INVESTING, UH, MR. BERRY IS BUYING FUEL THIS WEEK.

UH, AND WE WILL BE TAKING OVER THE OPERATIONS OF THE FUEL SALES, UH, EFFECTIVE WHEN HE FINISHES THIS PURCHASE THIS WEEK.

SO HE'S DOING THAT AS WE SPEAK.

AND MRS. SCOTT WILL BE TELLING YOU MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THAT, UH, NEXT WEEK AT THE WORK SESSION BECAUSE WE'LL BE MAKING A LARGER PURCHASE O OF THE FUEL AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS HOW WE DO THAT.

BUT HE'S GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT PURCHASE THIS WEEK BECAUSE THIS IS THE WEEK, UH, WHEN THE FUEL WILL COME DOWN AND WE'RE NOT GONNA RUN OUT A FUEL ON SATURDAY WHEN HE, WE DON'T WANT MR. BERRY OUT THERE COOKING HOT DOGS AND HAVING NO FUEL.

UH, THE TOWN COUNTY LAYA IS ON, IS SCHEDULED FOR THE 20TH, WHICH IS TWO WEEKS FROM THURSDAY.

AND ONE OF THE ITEMS WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT, UH, WE, WE TALKED ABOUT BRIEFLY IN THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE IS THE QUESTION OF ACCESS TO SHENANDOAH SHORES.

AND SO THAT MEETING IS IMPORTANT.

THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A SECOND ACCESS THAT AVOIDS THE RAILROAD CROSSING THERE.

AND AS VDOT EXPLAINED THIS MORNING, THE FLYOVERS KIND OF KEEP GOING UP IN THE COST AND EACH YEAR THERE'S ANOTHER 2 MILLION ADDED TO THE COST AND WE'RE STILL THREE YEARS AWAY AS WE LOOK AT IT TODAY.

SO THE FLYOVER OUT THERE INTO THE MIDDLE, INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

SO WE NEED AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE, WHICH THEY'RE WORKING ON.

THE, UM, SALVATION ARMY IS PREPARING FOR THE COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS DISTRIBUTION AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW SITE BECAUSE CCAP IS MOVING INTO THE ED PROPERTY ON KENDRICK LANE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR APPROXIMATELY 3000 SQUARE FEET THAT CAN BE USED ON A TEMPORARY BASIS FROM MID-NOVEMBER TO MID-DECEMBER.

AND IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS WHERE WE COULD FIND SOME SPACE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, ALSO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT OUR UNITED WAY HAS CONSOLIDATED AND MERGED WITH THE UNITED WAY OF THE NORTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

SO IT'S NOW FREDERICK SHENANDOAH PAGE AND WARREN, AND WE'RE ALL IN ANN CLARK AND WE'RE ALL IN ONE UNITED WAY, AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW HOW TO PARTICIPATE.

THERE WILL STILL BE THE LOCAL OFFICE, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S AWARE OF THIS CHANGE AND THAT THEY, UM, KNOW HOW TO ACCESS UNITED WAY.

THANK YOU.

I MET THE, UM, THE NEW DIRECTOR, I GUESS LORI HOWARD IS THE NEW YES'.

DIRECTOR FOR THE LOCAL AREA, AND SHE INTRODUCED HERSELF AT THE REVIT LIZER DIE, UM, MEETING.

AND, UH, IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT OPPORTUNITY.

IT'S TOOK SOME PUSHING TO GET IT TO GET IT DONE, BUT IT'S, IT'S THERE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR DR.

DAILEY OR ANYTHING MR. HAM? I HAVE NO REPORT.

OKAY.

I WANNA ADD ONE THING THAT I OVERLOOKED IN MY REPORT.

A REMINDER THAT ON OCTOBER 16TH

[00:30:02]

PENCE, UM, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF, UH, SCHOOL BOARD, AND I WILL BE HAVING OUR COMMUNITY MEETING FOR THE SOUTH RIVER DISTRICT.

SO ANYONE IN SOUTH RIVER, WE INVITE YOU TO COME OUT FROM ONE TO THREE AND MEET WITH US AND WE'LL GET THAT OUT, UM, ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR EVERYONE AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS

[F. Approval of Minutes – Regular Meeting of August 16, 2022]

MADAM CHAIR, I MOVED THAT THE BOARD APPROVED THE MINUTES, UM, FROM THE REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 16TH, 2022.

IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

ROLL CALL.

MRS. CHIAKI.

MRS. OATS.

AYE.

MADAM CHAIR? AYE.

MRS. COOK? AYE.

MR. MABE? AYE.

OKAY.

UNFINISHED

[G. Authorization to Advertise for Public Hearing – Z2022-05-01, Ordinance to Amend Warren County Code Sections 180-8, 180-28, 180-28.1 & 180-43.3 re: Light Industrial (LI) Zoning District and Data Centers – Matt Wendling]

MR. WENTLEY.

GOOD MORNING, MS. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

UM, THE REQUESTED AMENDMENTS IN ADDITIONS ARE TO UPDATE THE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE VIA ECONOMICALLY COMPETITIVE AND PROACTIVE.

THE CONCEPT OF DATA CENTERS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED, UH, FOR MANY YEARS IN OUR AREA AND ARE MOSTLY MOST RECENTLY COME UP IN THE COMPLI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW SESSIONS IN ADDITIONS TO OUR PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE WARREN COUNTY CODE.

THE TOWN OF FRONT ROWS ALSO PROPOSING SIMILAR CODE LANGUAGE SO THAT BOTH JURISDICTIONS CAN BE CONSISTENT WITH OUR APPROACH TO THE EVER GROWING INDUSTRY.

UM, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID MOVE THIS FORWARD WITH THEIR APPROVAL, UH, THEIR, UH, WITH THE THREE TO ONE APPROVAL.

UH, MR. MYERS DID ABSTAIN BECAUSE HE DOES WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT DOES DATA CENTERS AND DESIGNS DATA CENTERS.

SO HE FELT IT BEST THAT HE ABSTAIN.

SO THERE WAS NO PERCEPTION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

AND THAT VOTE IS COUNTED AS A NA BASICALLY.

UM, WE ARE PROPOSING THIS USE BASIC BASED ON WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN OUR RESEARCH FOR THIS TYPE FOR DATA CENTERS AS, AS A BY RIGHT.

OKAY.

WE HAVE PROVIDED AND DRAFTED SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS THAT VERY MUCH MIRROR OUR HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT.

MANY OF THE BULLET POINTS YOU'LL SEE WITHIN THOSE REGULATIONS WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE OR A BY RIGHT USE.

UM, PUBLIC HEARINGS WOULD BE HELD IF THE UNDERLYING ZONING DISTRICT WAS NOT EITHER INDUSTRIAL OR LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.

SO WE'D HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT.

UH, PUBLIC HEARING WOULD ALSO BE HELD FOR A SITE THAT WAS WITHIN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT IF THE BUILDINGS EXCEED.

AND TYPICALLY THEY DO 50,000 SQUARE FEET.

SO WE WOULD HAVE PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THAT AS A C U P, THAT WOULD BE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

A BY RIGHT USE, UH, REQUIRES THAT COUNTY STAFF, JUST AS THEY WOULD DO IN A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WOULD SEND OUT COMMENTS TO OUTSIDE AGENCIES THAT WERE APPLICABLE TO THAT USE TO THAT APPLICATION.

UH, IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW INITIALLY, BUT IT WOULD GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR FINAL REVIEW ONCE ALL AGENCY COMMENTS HAD BEEN ADDRESSED AND ALL, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS HAD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.

WERE KIND OF LIKE AT THAT POINT WHERE IT'S OKAY, FINAL, UH, UH, SITE PLAN REVIEW AND THE PLANNING CO MISSION COULD SEND IT BACK FOR ADDITIONS AND, YOU KNOW, UM, OR DENY IT IF THEY, THEY WANTED TO.

SO THERE IS THAT OVERSIGHT.

THAT'S ALL BASED ALSO ON THAT, THOSE SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS, AGAIN, WE, WE WOULD REVIEW THOSE SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS TO SEE THAT THE SITE PLAN MET ALL THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

OKAY.

UH, WE FELT IN BRINGING THIS FORWARD, THAT DOING IT BY C U P REALLY DID NOT GIVE US ANY ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OTHER THAN AN ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEARING.

SO IF YOU HAD TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR INDUSTRIAL, YOU'D HAVE THAT PUBLIC HEARING, BUT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO DO A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE, THE, THE

[00:35:01]

SO, UM, JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S BEEN KIND OF COME UP.

COULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? JUST ALL I COULD UNDERSTAND.

SO, SO IF WE HAD, LET'S JUST AN EXAMPLE ON AGRICULTURAL LOT THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT.

OKAY.

AND, UH, OR A, LET'S SAY COMMERCIAL LOT AND THEY, APPLICANT WANTED TO DO A DATA CENTER USE, UM, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REZONE THAT EITHER TO, THAT WOULD BE THEIR CHOICE.

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OR INDUSTRIAL.

UM, SO THERE WOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT REZONING.

FOR THE REZONING.

IF IT'S IN THE CORRIDOR OVERLAY AND EXCEEDED THE 50,000 SQUARE FEET, THERE WOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE EXCEEDING OF THE 50,000 SQUARE FEET.

NOT, NOT FOR THE DATA CENTER ITSELF, BUT THE, THE BUILDING SIZE.

OKAY.

OF COURSE, WE WOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EVERYTHING ELSE.

WE WOULD SEND OUT COMMENTS TO AGENCIES JUST LIKE WE DO WITH ALL CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR THAT, FOR THEIR REVIEW AND THEIR INPUT.

OKAY.

WE WOULD ALSO SEND OUT COMMENTS TO ALL AGENCIES AS A BY RIGHT.

FOR THE SITE PLAN REVIEW ITSELF.

NOW, THE SITE PLAN IS NOT INITIALLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S REVIEWED BY THE COUNTY STAFF ESSENTIALLY.

AND WE WORK WITH OUR OUTSIDE AGENCIES TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS, ISSUES, WHAT WE NEED TO SEE IN THAT SITE PLAN WHEN IT COMES TO THAT POINT WHERE IT'S FINALIZED, THERE'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING THAT'S INVOLVED.

WE JUST TAKE IT THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THEIR REVIEW.

I SEE.

AND THEIR APPROVAL OR DENIAL.

OKAY.

SO THAT YOU'RE BASICALLY ELIMINATING ONE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONDITIONALLY USED PERMIT FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A DATA CENTER.

IF, UH, IF IT'S ANY, WELL, BASICALLY FOR A DATA CENTER, UNLESS THE BUILDINGS EXCEED, UH, THE 50,000 SQUARE FEET WITHIN THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY, WHICH ARE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AGAIN, WE WERE LOOKING AT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION LEVEL.

UH, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST FELT WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, WE DID PAIR DOWN SOME OF THE USES THAT YOU WOULD TYPICALLY SEE IN INDUSTRIAL.

UM, SO IT GIVES US A LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN, UH, MARKETING LANDS TO, YOU KNOW, THESE, THESE PEOPLE, UH, PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BRINGING IN BUSINESSES THAT MAY NOT HAVE THAT, UM, THAT INDUSTRIAL USE, YOU KNOW MM-HMM.

, UM, AND THE IMPACT THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH INDUSTRIAL USES.

UM, SO I KNOW YOU KEEP, YOU KNOW, WE KEEP USING THE DATA CENTER AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, BUT I LOOK AT THE ORDINANCE, IT'S REALLY THE PROCESS THAT YOU JUST EXPLAINED WOULD GO THROUGH ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO HAVE AN OFFICE OR ADMINISTRATIVE OR DATA PROCESSING ACTIVITIES, EDUCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTIONS, EVERYTHING SAYS IN SECTION B.

IS THAT CORRECT? EXACTLY.

IF IT, IF IT'S IN THE BY RIGHT.

LISTED AS A BY RIGHT.

USE THAT WE WOULD, WE WOULD DO THAT.

THAT'S THE SAME.

IT'S FOR, FOR, FOR ALL OF THOSE USE.

RIGHT.

SO IT'S NOT JUST DATA CENTERS, CENTERS JUST FOR THE WHOLE LIST OF RIGHT, RIGHT.

BUSINESSES THAT YOU HAVE IN SECTION B HERE, AND, AND EVEN IF IT WAS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MM-HMM.

, ONCE THAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT IS APPROVED, APPROVED, WE DO HAVE, OH, AND HERE'S THE OTHER, HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE.

IF IT'S BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO BRING THAT SITE PLAN TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

MM-HMM.

, IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW WITH REVIEWS BY, UH, OUTSIDE AGENCIES.

SO THERE'S ONE LESS REVIEW BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND ONE MORE PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY.

IF YOU GO BY C P, IF YOU GO BY BY, RIGHT.

THERE'S ONE MORE REVIEW BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE SITE PLAN, BUT ONE LESS C P ONE LESS PUBLIC HEARING, PUBLIC HEARING THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MM-HMM.

.

SO, UM, , AGAIN, IF THERE'S AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY THAT THESE WOULD COME TO THEN AN OUT AND IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR OVERLAY, THEN THERE WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED THE C U P AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT BY RIGHT.

BUT WITH THE REVIEW OF A SITE PLAN, AGAIN, ADMINISTRATIVELY AND BY OUTSIDE AGENCIES, UM, AND BY THE, BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION MM-HMM.

, THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW, BY RIGHT.

OKAY.

SO THERE IS THAT OVER, THERE'S THAT ADDITIONAL KIND OF OVERVIEW THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION APP GETS A CHANCE.

SO WHEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION EITHER APPROVES OR DENIES BY RIGHT MM-HMM.

ROUTE,

[00:40:01]

THAT IS CORRECT.

MAYBE I COULD GET A LITTLE HELP ON THAT ONE.

UH, I WAS GONNA ASK OR YEAH.

UM, IT'S JUST, I I DON'T THINK IT WILL.

I I IT MAY BE IT SHOULD, IT DOESN'T COME TO THE BOARD.

NO, IT WOULDN'T, IT WOULDN'T COME TO THE BOARD.

IT, YEAH.

YEAH.

IT WOULD BE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD HAVE THAT KIND OF FINAL, OVER FINAL SALE.

RIGHT.

TH RATE ONLY GOES TO PROBABLY, RIGHT? YEAH.

YEAH.

OKAY.

YEAH.

THERE WOULDN'T NOT BE THAT OPTION.

MM-HMM.

, YES, GO AHEAD.

SO, MR. WINING, I'VE HAD A LOT OF CALLS BECAUSE THE, BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN POSTED MM-HMM.

, AND A LOT OF FOLKS ARE CONCERNED WITH, UM, THE IMPACT ON THE POWER GRID MM-HMM.

THE IMPACT ON WATER, BECAUSE THESE, UM, LARGE CENTERS USE, YOU KNOW, TONS OF WATER MM-HMM.

, AND THEY ALSO IMPACT THE POWER GRID.

I MEAN, WE'VE HEARD SOME STORIES FROM OUR FRIENDS TO THE EAST MM-HMM.

, YOU KNOW, ABOUT BROWN OUTS AND ALL KINDS OF FUN THINGS.

AND SO IT CONCERNS ME THAT THIS BODY, THIS ELECTED BODY WHO'S ELECTED TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE, UM, WOULD HAVE NO, I WOULD HAVE NO SAY IN THAT FINAL DETERMINATION, UM, THAT VERY VALID POINT.

THAT CONCERNS ME A LOT.

I, I DON'T THINK, I NEVER MIND PUTTING IN THE WORK OR THE TIME IN THIS JOB THAT IT TAKES.

SO KNOCKING OUT OF PUBLIC HEARING OR A PROCESS TO SPEED THINGS ALONG, I NEVER WANNA TAKE THE SHORT ROUTE THAT MAYBE DOESN'T GET US WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

MM-HMM.

, YOU KNOW, I'M WILLING TO, TO BE HERE AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO DO THIS.

SO FOR ME, CUTTING OUT A PROCESS, THE BY RIGHT.

BOTHERS ME.

IT, IT JUST DOES.

AND NOW HEARING THAT IT WOULD, WE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY FINAL SAY AND WHAT THOSE BUILDINGS WOULD DO OR, YOU KNOW, PRODUCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT, IT CONCERNS ME THAT BY RIGHT.

THEY COULD JUST DO IT IF IT'S WITHIN PARAMETERS, WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THIS BOARD TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE HERE.

AND THAT WOULD PRIMARILY BE FOR THE DATA CENTER CONCERNS THAT WE'RE HEARING.

THAT YOU'RE HEARING.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

YES, SIR.

JUST A SUGGESTION, MA'AM.

UH, THIS IS, RIGHT NOW IT'S ABOUT THE PROCESS MM-HMM.

, AND IF YOU SCHEDULE A HEARING AND HAVE THAT HEARING, THEN YOU CAN TABLE THE ITEM TO CONSIDER IT.

AND ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS IS YOU MAY WANT TO REVISE THE ORDINANCE TO MAKE IT A CONDITIONAL USE, BUT THE, THE FIRST STEP IS TO HAVE THE HEARING AND THEN SEE WHAT ANYBODY, EVERYBODY TELLS YOU FROM THE PUBLIC.

RIGHT.

AND THEN THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO, UH, PUT IT INTO EFFECT HOW YOU WANT TO ENACT THE ORDINANCE.

AND YOU CAN AMEND THAT, THAT AFTER YOU'VE HAD THE HEARING, SO THAT YOU CAN THINK ABOUT ALL THAT ALLOWS, ALLOWS YOU TO OVERRIDE THE PLAINTIFF COMMISSION.

SO ARE WE, ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT BY RIGHT USE FOR ONLY DATA CENTERS? OR ARE WE WORRIED, UH, USING PERMITTED BY RIGHT.

FOR THE LIST OF THESE BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THIS ORDINANCE? ANY AND ALL.

ANY AND ALL.

ANY AND ALL, ANY AND ALL, WHATEVER YOU WANNA, WHATEVER THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CONDITIONAL USE, YOU MAY DO SO.

AND IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THIS LIST AND DECIDE SOME OPTIONS SHOULD BE BY RIGHT.

YOU MAY DO THAT.

AND IF YOU WANT TO DECIDE THAT ALL OF IT NEEDS TO BE A CONDITIONAL USE, YOU MAY DO THAT.

MM-HMM.

.

YEAH.

I JUST, I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT IT AS A BIG PICTURE RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, NARROWING IN.

HAVE A, A QUESTION.

SO DOES A BY RIGHT PERMIT FOLLOW THE PROPERTY? SO IF SOMEBODY BUYS, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE HAS, UH, REZONE IT TO BE A, UH, UH, SOFTWARE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT USE MM-HMM.

, AND THEN THEY DECIDE TO SELL THE PROPERTY, DOES THAT BUY RIGHT, FOLLOW THE LIFE OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY? IF USE IS THE SAME MM-HMM.

UHHUH, OKAY.

IT DOES FOLLOW IT.

IF THERE'S NO EXPANSION OF THE USE OR CHANGE OF THE USE MM-HMM.

, IT DOES FOLLOW IT.

OKAY.

NOW, STAFF DOES DO PERIODIC REVIEWS TO MAKE SURE THE LANDSCAPING AND EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER.

YOU KNOW, YOUR PARKING LOT IS, UH, ADEQUATELY STRIPED AND

[00:45:01]

I MEAN, WE WILL TYPICALLY DO THAT AS A REVIEW.

UH, IF THERE IS ANY CHANGES IN THE USE THAT STAFF FEELS ARE SIGNIFICANT, WE WILL PUT IT IN FRONT OF, WE WILL REQUEST THAT, UM, THAT PARTICULAR USE, WHEREVER IT FALLS WITHIN THE ZONING DISTRICT, WILL BE ADDRESSED EITHER BY C U OR IF IT'S A BY.

RIGHT.

WE MAY REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL ANOTHER SITE PLAN MM-HMM.

FOR IT.

UM, IF IT'S BY RIGHT.

AND THAT WOULD GO THROUGH THE, THE SAME REVIEW PROCESS WITH OUTSIDE AGENCIES, WITH, YOU KNOW, INTERNAL STAFF REVIEW AND THEN, AND THEN BY PLANNING COMMISSION MM-HMM.

, IF IT'S BY RIGHT.

IF IT'S BY C, WE WOULD SAY, OKAY, WELL THIS IS, THIS USE IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT C P PROCESS AGAIN.

NOW IF YOU'RE IN THE OVERLAY DISTRICT, AND LIKE JUST A FOR INSTANCE, THEY BUILT A BUNCH OF BIG BUILDINGS AND THEY, THERE COULD POTENTIALLY BE WAREHOUSE, IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE DATA CENTER, IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LOOK AT WHAT THE USE IS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT AND WHERE IT FALLS.

AND WE WOULD BASICALLY ADDRESS THAT AT THE, THAT, THAT TIME THAT THAT APPLICANT CAME IN.

OKAY.

IF THE BUILDINGS WERE ALREADY BUILT, THEY'RE BEING USED FOR WAREHOUSING, BUT SAY THIS NEW APPLICANT WANTED TO CONVERT THEM TO DATA CENTERS, WELL, WE WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO EVALUATE THAT AS FAR AS, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, THE SITE PLAN, IF IT'S MY RIGHT, OR IF IT'S MY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS FOR A DA SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT DATA, FOR A DATA CENTER IF THEY'RE CONVERTING THOSE.

SO, UM, I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT OF THAT KIND OF SIMILAR WHAT YEAH.

OUT IN NORTH RIVER WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, WHEN HE HAD THE, THE SUBDIVISION AND HE HAD SOMETHING LIKE 26 LOTS THAT WERE BY RIGHT.

HE STILL WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS.

RIGHT.

FOR THAT ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF LOT FOR THAT HE WAS WANTED.

SO IT'S STILL THAT THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT RIGHT, RIGHT.

WE WOULD, IF IT'S LISTED AS A C P PROCESS, A C P UNDER UNCONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WE WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS IF THAT PARTICULAR USE, THAT NEW USE MM-HMM.

, IF IT'S LISTED AS BY RIGHT.

WE WOULD GO THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR PROCESS, YOU KNOW, UM, THERE MAY NOT BE ANY SITE PLAN CHANGES, YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR IT.

SO THAT WOULD NOT NECESSITATE, THEY WOULD JUST, JUST, UH, NEED TO APPLY FOR ALL REQUIRED BUILDING AND ZONING PERMITS.

MM-HMM.

THAT WOULD, AND WE WOULD DEEM THAT AT THE TIME WE MET THE, UH, APPLICANT OR PROPERTY OWNER.

SO, UM, YEAH.

WELL THIS, THIS AMENDMENT, THIS TEXT AMENDMENT IS GIVING, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT'S GIVING DATA CENTER USAGE, IT'S ADDING THAT THE OTHER USAGES ARE ALREADY IN A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
