Mar 12, 2025 Planning Commission

UH, SO I, I MOVE THAT WE REMOVE ITEM D FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

I'LL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION AS AMENDED, PLEASE SAY AYE.

ONE IS THE ADOPTION OF OUR REGULAR MEETING MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 12TH, 2025.

OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT.

[IV. Adoption of the Regular Meeting Minutes]

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE MINUTES AS SECOND.

OPPOSED IN FAVOR? AYE.

UM, PUBLIC HEARING A HAS BEEN POSTPONED, HASN'T IT, MATT? THE VESTA PROPERTIES, I BELIEVE THE, THE STATUS WAS THAT WE WERE GOING TO EITHER REQUEST IT TO BE TABLED OR PULLED.

OPPOSED MINUTES SIR.

ADOPTED OUR NEXT ITEM IS PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS.

PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS ARE LIMITED ISSUES THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED ON THE MEETING AGENDA.

IT'S INTENDED AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO GIVE INPUT ON RELATIVE PLANNING ISSUES, NOT INTENDED AS A QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO BRING TO US, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND SAY WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.

SEE NO ONE COME FORWARD.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[VI.A. CUP2025-02-01 - Short-Term Tourist Rental - Vesta Properties (W. Properties LLC) - A request for a conditional use permit for a Short-Term Tourist Rental. The property is located at 422 Timberline Ridge Road and is identified on tax map 15H, section 2, as lot 6. The property is zoned Residential-One (R-1) and is located in the Shenandoah Magisterial District. - Kelly Wahl , Planner]

CHASE, DO YOU WANT TO HANDLE THAT, ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR HIM? YEAH.

SO THAT'LL BE ENTIRELY UP TO YOU.

ALL THE SITUATION IS, UH, THAT THE, UH, DWELLING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN THE WRONG PLACE AND THEY ARE PURSUING AS ZONING VARIANCE, UH, 'CAUSE IT WAS CONSTRUCTED WITHIN A FRONT SETBACK.

AND SO, UM, IN YOUR CONSIDERATIONS OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES, WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR IT TO BE TABLED SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW WHERE THE DWELLING WILL BE LOCATED WHEN YOU MAKE THOSE CONSIDERATION.

BUT, UH, THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADVERTISED FOR.

SO IF WE WANTED TO RUN IT AND THEN TABLE THE DECISION, THAT WOULD BE FINE.

I, I'D PROBABLY TABLE IT.

'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I THINK THEY MOVED THE HOUSE LOCATION.

OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD, COULD CHANGE.

IT MIGHT BE CHANGED ENOUGH TO WARRANT ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING ANYWAY.

MR. CHAIR, IT LOOKS LIKE THE APPLICANT'S HERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD ASK THEM WHAT THEY WANNA DO.

YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

MM-HMM .

PLEASE COME UP.

HI, MY NAME'S MANDY PLUM, BEST PROPERTY MANAGEMENT 20 EAST EIGHTH STREET.

UM, SO I DID CALL DOWN 'CAUSE I, THAT WAS ACTUALLY MY QUESTION.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WERE GONNA BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND I WAS TOLD THAT WE COULD GO AHEAD AND DO THIS MEETING, BUT IT WOULD GET TABLED AT THE NEXT MEETING UNTIL THE VARIANCE WAS APPROVED FOR THE NEW SETBACK.

THAT'S FINE.

WE CAN GO, WE CAN, THAT'S WHAT THE APPLICANT WANTS.

I'M FINE WITH THAT.

IT'S WHATEVER YOUR, THE WILL OF YOU ARE ALL ARE, IT'S BEEN ADVERTISED PROPERLY ADVERTISED.

AND, UH, MS. WALL CAN, UH, INTRODUCE IT AND IF YOU WANNA OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MAKE YOUR DECISION AFTER THAT, IT, IT'LL BE AT YOUR WILL.

WE'RE FINE WITH WHATEVER WORKS BEST FOR YOU GUYS.

I JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW THAT WE DID ASK, SO THAT'S WHY I SHOWED UP .

UM, 'CAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE NEXT ONE THAT WOULD GET TABLED IF THAT'S, BUT HE HAS ALREADY APPLIED FOR THE VARIANCE AS WELL.

WE'VE GOT SEVERAL ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR EXCELLENCE.

SO IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO GET ONE PUBLIC HEARING OFF.

IT WOULD BE, YEAH.

WELL, JUST AS A PROCEDURAL QUESTION, IF WE END UP TABLING IT TODAY, WAITING FOR THE VARIANCE, WOULD UM, WOULD WE NEED TO DO ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING AFTER THE VARIANCE IS APPROVED? I THINK THE PUBLIC HEARING, IF, IF THE HEARING WAS DONE TONIGHT, YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO, BUT IT'D PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE IT IF THERE WAS A CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES BASED ON THE UH, THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE HOLDING OFF ON, IF THERE'S A CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

GREAT.

SO, AS I UNDERSTAND THE FOUNDATION'S ALREADY IN IBEL, GO, GO AHEAD AND ANSWER THAT.

IT WAS CON JUST CONSTRUCTED OFF OF THAT LOCATION AND SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO APPROVE THE REQUIRED FOUNDATION LOCATION SURVEY WHEN, UH, SUBMITTED.

CHASE.

'CAUSE YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON A PERMIT.

YES, CORRECT.

SO, UH, SITE PLAN WAS SUBMITTED WITH THE INITIAL BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION SHOWING THAT IT WOULD BE IN A COMPLIANT LOCATION AND

[00:05:01]

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.

SO HOW MUCH DID IT ENCROACH? HOW MUCH IS IT? ALL 25 FEET.

OH, THAT'S A BIG ONE.

IS IT ON A PRIVATE SUBDIVISION, DIRT SUBDIVISION ROAD OR IS IT ON STATE ROAD? IT IS IN THE SHENANDOAH FARMS SUBDIVISION.

THERE IS A LOCATION MAP UP THERE ON THE SCREEN IF YOU'D LIKE ME.

YEAH, TAKE A LOOK.

SO THE CLEARING IS WHERE PRESUMABLY THE HOUSE IS GOING.

IS THAT CURRENT ENOUGH? UH, CORRECT.

ALRIGHT.

ONE, ONE MORE PROCEDURAL QUESTION.

IF WE WERE TO, UH, I GUESS CONDITIONALLY RECOMMEND APPROVAL BASED ON THE VARIANCE BEING GRANTED, IS THAT, UH, UH, AN OKAY THING TO DO OR, YOU KNOW, REALLY CONDITIONAL APPROVALS ARE NOT SOMETHING WE SHOULD UNDERTAKE? I WOULD BE HESITANT TO RECOMMEND THAT JUST BECAUSE IT'D BE, I THINK IT, THE SAVOR THING WOULD BE TO JUST TABLE IT AND TAKE IT BACK UP AT A LATER TIME.

UH, SO YOU HAVE A MORE ACCURATE VIEW OF THE FACTS.

THANKS.

PUT IN THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.

I, I FEEL LIKE, I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT, BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA ULTIMATELY GET TO A POINT WHERE WE WOULD END UP TABLING IF IT'S, IF IT'S 25 FOOT IN OUR JUST A FOUNDATION STATES, THEY'RE GOING BACK AND MOVE IT.

THE HOUSE IS BUILT.

OH, THE HOUSE IS BUILT.

IT'S WAITING ON UP ZONING PERMIT AND READY FOR THE, UH, CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR BUILDING INSPECTIONS.

I BELIEVE, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, CHASE.

YEAH, I DID.

I UH, I DID TAKE A PHOTO OF IT.

I DIDN'T INCLUDE IT IN THE PACKET 'CAUSE IT WAS RECENT, UH, FROM WHEN I POSTED THE SIGN.

UM, BUT UH, YEAH, I MEAN IT'S NOT JUST A FOUNDATION ON THE GROUND, IT WAS A STRUCTURE IN OUR HOUSE.

OUR HOUSE.

BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THAT.

I'VE SEEN THAT GET CAUGHT AND THEY JUST, AND MOVE THE, YOU KNOW, START OVER WITH FOUNDATION.

BUT YEAH, I'VE SEEN THAT TOO.

THE HOUSE HAS DONE, MAN, I FEEL BAD ALL THE WAY AROUND FOR THIS MM-HMM .

APPLICANT.

WE HAVE SPENT THE MONEY ON THE, UH, ADVERTISEMENT.

IT'S UP TO YOU, BUT I KNOW WE CAN'T MAKE A DECISION ON THAT, BUT, UH, HEY, I WAS GONNA ASK ONE MORE, ONE MORE PROCEDURAL QUESTION.

SO SINCE WE HAVE ADVERTISED A PUBLIC HEARING, DO WE ACT, DO WE NEED TO OPEN IT? AT LEAST IF, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE TONIGHT, YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO DO ONE NEXT TIME.

RIGHT.

AND UM, IT, I MEAN SINCE IT HAS BEEN ADVERTISED IT, I GUESS IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE HEARING TONIGHT.

UH, BUT, BUT YOU, YOU CAN PUT IT OFF.

MAY MAYBE BEST IDEA TO GO AHEAD AND HAVE IT TONIGHT.

OTHER I'M THE, I'LL JUST MENTION, AND THIS WOULD BE, UH, ANOTHER OPTION IS THAT YOU POSTPONE CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MAKING YOUR DECISION UNTIL THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED.

THEN YOU CAN, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO RE ADVERTISE, WE'LL JUST OPEN THAT PUBLIC HEARING AS PART OF NEW BUSINESS IN ANOTHER OR OLD BUSINESS IN ANOTHER, I THINK.

I THINK THAT GO.

SO THAT WOULD BE A, UH, MOTION TO POSTPONE THE CLOSING OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION.

YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YOU CAN OPEN AND WE CAN MAKE A MOTION TO RIGHT.

POSTPONE THE CLOSING WITH, WITH THAT IN MIND, PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING'S RIGHT ON TRACK WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

YES.

OF THE APPLICANT OF SLATE RUN FARM, RIGHT? UH, TO BE ALL INDUSTRIAL AND REMOVE THE FLOODPLAIN, UH, WE HAD DEEMED IT AGRICULTURAL.

I'LL REITERATE THE BOARD'S.

THANKS FOR YOU GUYS FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

UM, WHAT KIND OF CHANGES TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DID THEY RECOMMEND? SO THERE WERE, UH, THERE WERE FOUR CHANGES.

ONE OF THE REQUEST

[00:25:01]

THERE WAS A MISTAKE THAT WE CAUGHT AFTER THE RESOLUTION.

THERE WAS FUTURE LAND USE COMMERCIAL THAT WAS ALSO OWNED BY SLATE RUN.

THAT IS RIGHT OFF OF WHEN CHESTER ROAD AND IT WASN'T EVEN ON THE MAP.

SO IT'S FUTURE LAND USE COMMERCIAL.

MM-HMM .

THEN WE HAVE, UM, AN ACTIVE APPLICATION FOR REZONING AND A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UH, FOR INDUSTRIAL.

SO WE CHANGE THAT FROM COMMERCIAL TO INDUSTRIAL.

SHOULD THE BOARD CHOOSE NOW, THEY'LL HAVE OPTIONS.

SO THERE'LL BE A MOTION TO, TO CHOOSE WHICH MAP THEY WANT GO WITH.

AND THEN ALSO, UH, EITHER KEEPING THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY THAT THAT'S AT THE VERY NORTH OF THE CORRIDOR, JUST OUTSIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR, CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT, KEEPING THAT FUTURE LAND USE COMMERCIAL OR REMOVING IT FUTURE LAND USE COMMERCIAL.

AND THEN WE ALSO, UH, JUST PRESENTED TO THEM THAT ED MURPHY IS DOING A DOWN ZONING FROM ONE OF HIS COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES DOWN THERE NEAR TARGET FROM CURRENTLY COMMERCIAL TO AGRICULTURAL.

AND THEN THE COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY BY THE GOLF COURSE IS FUTURE LAND USE IN INDUSTRIAL.

SO THE BOARD WILL HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE WHETHER THEY WANT THAT FUTURE LAND USE COMMERCIAL OR FUTURE LAND USE INDUSTRIAL.

I'LL JUST MENTION CURRENTLY THAT'S DUAL U UH, USE THE COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY.

IT'S HALF, UH, COMMERCIAL AND HALF AGRICULTURAL.

IT'S CURRENTLY BEING USED, UH, AS A LAY DOWN AREA FOR EQUIPMENT.

I THINK FOR, UM, BROADBAND.

THE BROADBAND FOLKS.

SO, ALRIGHT, IF, IF YOU BACK UP A DAY AND YOU TABLET TO THE BOARD MEETING, IT'S ITEM H AND THEY'VE GOT THE, UH, THEY'VE ACTUALLY GOT THE MAPS AND THE, UH, STUFF IN THERE ALL DISCOVERED THAT BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LISTENING IN AND IT WAS LIKE, WELL SHOOT, I GOT THE STUFF RIGHT HERE.

SO , IT'S NICE THAT IT'S, AND COREY HAS UPDATED THE, UH, STORY MAP IN, UH, ON THE WEBSITE ALSO.

THAT'S PART OF THE, THE MAPPING AREA.

UH, YOU CAN LOOK AT GI AFTER THAT.

ALSO, IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THE EDITED VERSION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO WHEN WE TAKE THIS TO PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, WE WILL BE ADVERTISING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RESOLUTION VERSION OF THE COMP PLAN.

WITH THAT, WE WILL BE ADVERTISING AN ITEMIZED LIST OF CHANGES.

I CAN PROVIDE A LIST OF THOSE ITEMIZED CHANGES TO YOU GUYS JUST FOR YOUR REVIEW IF YOU'D LIKE.

UM, IT'S, IT'S VERY DETAILED, SO YOU WOULDN'T EVEN NECESSARILY NEED TO LOOK AT THE COMP PLAN TO SEE THE CHANGES.

IT'S ALL LISTED.

ALRIGHT.

I CAN EMAIL THAT OUT TOMORROW IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT LIST.

THANK YOU THAT, FIGURE OUT HOW TO LOG IN .

MR. LEMPS, YOU GOT ANYTHING? UM, JUST DOUBLING DOWN.

UH, WE DO STILL NEED A FORK DISTRICT FOR A ZONING APPEALS MEMBER, SO, UM, IF YOU GUYS DON'T MIND MAYBE CALLING IN SOME OLD FAVORS THAT YOU'VE ACCUMULATED OVER THE YEARS.

ANYONE THAT OWNS PROPERTY IN THE FORT DISTRICT, I MIGHT, I MIGHT CONSIDER TAKING ANYONE AT THIS POINT.

SO , I WOULDN'T ADVERTISE THAT TOO.

JUST EMPHASIZING THAT WE DO STILL NEED THAT POSITION.

WE WE'RE, WE'RE KIND OF RUNNING INTO SOME ISSUES SCHEDULING STUFF, UH, BECAUSE OF THAT SHORTAGE.

SO, OKAY.

SOONER WE CAN GET THAT FORT BETTER.

YEP.

ALL MR. CHAIR CHAIRMAN.

AND I MIGHT ALSO ADD THAT WE, WE, WELL WE NEED, THERE'S 10 MEMBERS THAT SHOULD BE ON THE AG FORESTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

IN THE PAST, WE'VE NEVER HAD THAT MANY, BUT IT CALLS FOR 10.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR CITIZEN MEMBERS AND THEN, UH, UH, SUPERVISOR COLORS IS ON IT.

AND THEN OUR COMMISSIONER, REVENUE, SHERRY SERS IS, IS REQUIRED TO BE ON IT.

SO WE NEED FOUR MORE AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY FROM THE HAPPY CREEK OR FOUR OR RIGHT NOW OUR, OUR NORTH RIVER DISTRICT IS, IS, WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY.

UM, SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED, THIS IS PURELY AS AN AD NEEDED, UH, COMMITTEE FOR WITHDRAWALS OR ADDITIONS TO THE, UM, AG FORESTAL COMMITTEE.

UH, AND WELL DISTRICT FOR ANY OF THE THREE DISTRICTS.

AND THE RENEWAL OF ALL THREE WILL BE IN 2030.

SO THAT WOULD BE THE REALLY THE NEXT TIME THEY'D BE ACTUALLY HAVING TO MEET.
