ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED.

FIRST, UH, I DO WANNA MAKE A COMMENT.

YOU NOTICE WE ARE SHY.

ONE SUPERVISOR, MR. BRANDON IS ON BUSINESS THIS EVENING, AND HE SHALL BE MISSED.

MR. MANAGER, YOU HAVE COMMENTS? I DO, MA'AM.

CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THERE ARE TWO

[4. MANAGER’S COMMENTS ]

FIRST, I'M GONNA ASK OUR SUPERSTAR CLERK TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO COME TO THE PODIUM FOR A PRESENTATION.

I'M GONNA ASK HER MOM, ETT, IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, AND HER BROTHER, TYRONE AND SISTER, UH, NAOMI, IF YOU WOULD ALL COME FORWARD, AND I UNDERSTAND JADA, UM, MAY BE LISTENING ONLINE.

THIS IS A RECOGNITION, YOU KNOW, UM, FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WE HAVE HAD A CLERK.

WE'VE NOT HAD A DEPUTY CLERK, AND THINGS HAVE, UM, FROM THIS MANAGER'S PERSPECTIVE, HAVE NOT IMPROVED.

BUT I THINK MS. BRACKET HAS TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL THAT IS VALIDATED BY THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, SHE NOW CARRIES A NEW TITLE IN ADDITION TO THE ONE THAT SHE HAS WITH OUR COUNTY.

AND THAT IS MS. BRACKET WAS RECENTLY SWORN IN AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE VIRGINIA MUNICIPAL CLERKS ASSOCIATION.

WOW.

AND WILL SERVE IN THIS CAPACITY OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

NOW, I WANT TO NOTE THAT THE VMCA IS COMPRISED OF NEARLY 250, 250 MUNICIPAL CLERKS WHO SERVE IN TOWNS, CITIES, AND COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH.

THE ORGANIZATION SEEKS TO PROMOTE THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF MUNICIPAL CLERKS, INCREASE EFFICIENCY OF MUNICIPAL CLERK OPERATIONS, AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND COLLEAGUES REGARDING THE ROLE OF THE MUNICIPAL CLERK.

NOW, IN HER ROLE

[00:10:01]

SHE WILL COORDINATE THE GROUP'S PARTICIPATION IN CONFERENCES CONDUCTED BY VML AND VACO, AND WE'LL HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES, INCLUDING RECOGNITION OF OTHER CLERKS WHO HAVE ACHIEVED CERTIFICATION AND ONGOING COMMUNICATION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S MEMBERS.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I'VE BEEN ASKED, YOU KNOW, WHY IS IT THAT HENRICO COUNTY'S BOARD MEETINGS WERE ON THE WAY THAT THEY DO? AND THE REALITY IS BECAUSE OF EFFORTS, UM, OF MS. BRACKET AND OTHERS, THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING PRESENTED IS, IS NOT JUST PRESENTED, IT IS REVIEWED.

WERE, UH, VETTED, IF YOU WILL.

AND AGAIN, I NOTE THAT NOT SO LONG AGO, THERE WERE TWO FOLKS, UH, IN THIS, UH, CARRYING OUT THIS, UH, THESE DUTIES.

SO THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY, UM, FOR MS. BRACKET TO SHARE HER SKILLS, UM, BUT ALSO TANYA TO GO AND REALLY SHINE WITH THIS ORGANIZATION.

I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HAPPY AND IMPRESSED I AM WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE IN YOUR POSITION SINCE YOU ASSUMED THE POSITION.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER.

MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I WANNA THANK MY FAMILY FOR BEING HERE.

THANK JADA.

SHE'S ON WEBEX.

UM, I JUST WANNA TAKE THE TIME.

I WASN'T GOING TO GO TO THE CONFERENCE, UM, BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK OF A BOARD MEETING, AND THEN WE ALSO HAD STUDENT GOVERNMENT, AND SOMEONE, UM, TOLD JOHN ABOUT IT, UM, THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO GO.

AND THEN THEY ALSO TOLD HIM THAT I WAS UP FOR THIS NOMINATION.

UM, SO I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM HIM, , UM, AND HE WAS LIKE, I, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NOT GOING.

AND I SAID, WELL, IT'S A BOARD WEEK.

WE HAVE STUDENT GOVERNMENT.

I JUST CAN'T.

I CAN'T.

AND HE WAS LIKE, OH, OKAY.

YOU'RE GOING , .

AND I SAID, BUT I, I JUST CAN'T.

HE WAS LIKE, YEAH, YOU'RE GOING.

AND THE BOARD MEMBERS WILL INSIST THAT YOU GO.

AND SO, I, I JUST WANNA THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I AM HONORED TO SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT AND REPRESENT THE COUNTY IN THIS POSITION.

UM, SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

HI, JADA.

WE SEE YOU.

I WAS GONNA SAY .

GO DUKE.

GO DUKES.

NOW, NOW GO BACK TO STUDYING FOR THOSE EXAMS. YES.

IN THE LIBRARY.

I CAN TELL .

SO, UM, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF BOARD, UH, MY SECOND COMMENT IS, UM, NOT WITHIN THE SAME VEIN.

UH, WE HAD ON FRIDAY, MAY 6TH, WE HAD AN EMPLOYEE, UM, JAM, MARLOW BUTLER WHO, UM, OR MARLOW AS HE WAS KNOWN TO MANY OF HIS COWORKERS IN RECREATION AND PARKS.

AND THAT WAS TRAGICALLY KILLED IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND.

OKAY? AN INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.

UH, THAT IS ALL THAT WE REALLY, UM, CAN SHARE.

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT, UH, THIS YOUNG MAN, UH, JOINED OUR COUNTY IN MAY OF 2014.

HE BEGAN IN OUR RECREATION AND PARKS, UH, DEPARTMENT AS A TEMPORARY SEASONAL EMPLOYEE BEFORE BEING HIRED IN MARCH OF 2018 AS A FULL-TIME RECREATION AND MAINTENANCE WORKER.

UM, I MET WITH THE, UH, RECREATION AND PARK STAFF YESTERDAY, AND THEY SHARED SOME REMEMBRANCES OF A STEADFAST AND GIVING EMPLOYEE JUST KIND WORDS AND UTTERANCES OF LOVE.

UH, WERE SHARED, YOU KNOW, OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO MARLOW'S FAMILY, HIS FRIENDS, UH, AND HIS COWORKERS.

SO IF YOU WOULD, UM, FOR A YOUNG MAN TAKEN TOO SOON, UH, PLEASE JOIN ME THIS EVENING IN A MOMENT OF SILENCE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS.

THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER.

UH, ANY COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF

[5. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ COMMENTS ]

I LIKE TO GIVE, UH, KUDOS AND FLOWERS TO THE COUNTY MANAGER AND THE STAFF AND ALL THE PERSONS

[00:15:01]

BUT ONE DAY LAST WEEK, IT WAS A PROGRAM, UH, THAT WAS GIVEN RF AND PS PARK OVER THERE.

MM.

AND I ATTENDED THAT ALONG WITH SOME OF MY OTHER COLLEAGUES.

BUT WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT ABOUT THAT EVENT WAS THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE, SOME OF THE BEST STAFF AND BEST WORKERS THAT WE HAVE, BUT HOPEFULLY WE DO SOMETHING THAT MAY BE OTHER PERSONS WOULD LIKE TO ENGENDER.

THAT IS, WE DON'T ONLY TELL PEOPLE THANK YOU, UH, FOR YOUR GOOD WORK, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A PLACE AND TIME FOR THEM WHERE THEY CAN FRATERNIZE TOGETHER, WHERE THEY CAN EAT AND PLAY GAMES, AND EVEN SOME OF THEIR CHILDREN CAME.

SO I, I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE COUNTY FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT REALLY SHOWS THE TYPE OF QUALITY THAT WE ENGENDER IN THIS COUNTY, UH, MR MANAGER.

AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE PEOPLE REMEMBER USUALLY THE BAD THINGS, BUT THEY WILL TREMENDOUSLY REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE DONE FROM THE HEART.

AND WE'VE SAID FROM THIS POINT, UH, MANY TIMES THAT, RIGHT? BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE LOCALITIES THAT HAS A HEART, THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE, UH, EVENTS OF THE HEART PROGRAM.

SO KUDOS TO THE STAFF, AND YOU AND MR. UH, MANJE PUT THAT TOGETHER.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.

MS. THORNTON.

UM, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE EFFORTS OF, UH, MONICA CALLAHAN SMITH ON THE, UH, UM, INPUTTING THIS EVENT TOGETHER.

WE'VE NOT DONE IT LIKE THAT BEFORE, BUT, UM, TO YOUR POINT, MONICA, THANK YOU FOR, UM, IN WHAT FELT LIKE A VERY SHORT ORDER.

UH, I THINK WE HAD 900, UM, FOLKS THAT, UH, THAT CAME BY EMPLOYEES.

SO IT WAS AN EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION EVENT.

IT WAS VERY WELL ATTENDED.

POST COVID VID, UH, JUST WANTING TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE WORKFORCE, SO THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? NO.

OKAY.

UH, MADAM CHAIR, MR. MR. MANAGER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECOGNITION.

THIS IS A RECOGNITION OF, OF THIS ENTIRE TEAM THAT TAKES CARE OF THIS COMMUNITY.

UM, IT IS A 24 7 PROPOSITION TO CARE FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS, AND IT TAKES A PARTNERSHIP.

IT TAKES A LOT OF COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION, PARTICULARLY FROM OUR VOLUNTEER MEMBERS WHO, UH, PURSUE A LOT OF TRAINING ON THEIR OWN TIME AND REALLY SACRIFICE A LOT OF TIME WITH THEIR FAMILY TO CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

UM, RESPONSE, UNFORTUNATELY, UH, REPRESENTS A FAILURE.

AND SO WHERE WE CAN TEACH OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT, UH, HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, UH, ABOUT CARING FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS, UH, COMMUNITY CPR AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE CAN REALLY SAVE MORE LIVES THAN WE ALREADY DO IN, IN THIS ROBUST SYSTEM, THIS ROBUST PARTNERSHIP.

UH, THE NERVE CENTER OF ALL THIS OPERATION IS, IS IN OUR POLICE DIVISION, THE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATORS THAT RECEIVE THE CALLS FROM THE COMMUNITY MEMBER IN NEED AND DISPATCH THE APPROPRIATE RESOURCE OR INSTRUMENTAL IN THIS AND, AND OFTEN GO UNRECOGNIZED.

THEY'RE THE VOICE BEHIND THE RADIO, UH, THAT, UH, THAT KEEPS THE COMMUNITY SAFE AND KEEPS OUR RESPONDERS SAFE.

SO IT IS A BIG PARTNERSHIP AND WE TRULY APPRECIATE THE RECOGNITION OF THOSE EFFORTS.

THANK YOU.

UH, MY NAME IS ANDY ENG.

I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAKESIDE VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUAD AND THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTY ASSOCIATION ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUADS, LAKESIDE, AND MY COLLEAGUES AT TUCKAHOE.

WE APPRECIATE THIS PROCLAMATION AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT THE COUNTY DOES FOR THE VOLUNTEERS ON A DAILY BASIS, NOT JUST THIS WEEK, BUT EVERY DAY OF THE, OF THE YEAR.

UH, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FUNCTION WITHOUT OUR COUNTERPARTS IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AND THE DISPATCHERS ARE MOST CERTAINLY OUR LIFELINES ON SCENE, UH, AND WE CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND CHAIR THE FINAL PROCLAMATION, PROCLAIMS THE HENRICO VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUAD,

[7c. Proclamation - Proclaiming the Henrico Volunteer Rescue Squad a Distinguished Community Service Medal Recipient. ]

THIS PROCLAMATION WAS ACTUALLY GIVEN TO MEMBERS OF THE HENRICO VOLUNTEER RESCUE SQUAD BY MR. NELSON, UH, IN WORK SESSION.

AND SIMPLY NOTED ON THAT THIS SQUAD HAD BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1951.

BUT DUE TO DIFFICULTIES, UH, WITH, UH, RECRUITING VOLUNTEERS LIKE WE SEE AT TUCKAHOE

[00:25:01]

SO THE WORK SESSION RECOGNIZED, UM, ON THAT AS IT SHOULD HAVE.

MR. NELSON, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD AS FAR AS THE RECOGNITION? UH, THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER.

UH, I THINK YOU COVERED IT.

UH, 71 YEARS, I THINK OF SERVICE.

UM, OVER 25,000 CALLS HANDLED SINCE 1995.

UM, SIGNIFICANT WORK TOWARD CARING FOR PERSONS IN EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTY, SO THEY WILL BE MISSED, BUT WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE SERVICE.

THESE ARE COMPANION CASES OUT OF BROOKLYN.

CRENSHAW REALTY.

COMES FORWARD WITH A CONDITIONAL REZONING REQUEST FROM B ONE B, UH, BUSINESS DISTRICT TO OUR SIX C GENERAL RESIDENCE DISTRICT, SEVERAL PARCELS CONTAINING 2.4 ACRES.

THEY'RE LOCATED ON THE NORTH LINE OF WILLOW LAWN DRIVE, APPROXIMATELY 135 FEET NORTH OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH GRACE STREET.

IN THIS CASE, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT WITH MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS AND COMMERCIAL USES.

AND THE PLANNING, UH, COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GRANT THIS REQUEST.

THE NEXT CASE IS AN ASSOCIATED REQUEST FOR PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT SAME.

APPLICANT, ONE 40 DASH 22.

MR. EMERSON.

THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER.

MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING ARE TWO COMPANION REQUESTS TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF UP TO 265 RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND TWO LEVELS OF PARKING ON A SITE CURRENTLY DEVELOPED FOR OFFICE USE.

THE B ONE ZONE PARKING PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON WILLOW LAWN DRIVE.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS ARE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH AND WEST TO THE EAST ACROSS WILLOW LAWN DRIVE IS THE WILLOW LAWN SHOPPING CENTER

[00:30:01]

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TO R SIX C.

HAS ALSO SUBMITTED A COMPANION PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST THAT ALLOWS THE MASTER PLANNING OF THE SITE IN ORDER TO GAIN MODIFICATIONS OF SETBACK, DENSITY, BUILDING HEIGHT, AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO DEVELOP THE SITE AS SHOWN IN THIS CONCEPT PLAN.

A FOUR STORY PORTION OF THE BUILDING IS SHOWN ALONG THE SOUTHERN WESTERN PERIMETER WITH TENANT PARKING LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND A PORTION OF THE SECOND FLOOR AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON FLOORS TWO THROUGH FOUR.

A STEP BACK FIVE AND SEVEN STORY SECTION AS YOU MOVE TOWARDS WILLOW LAWN DRIVE, FOUR STORIES, AND THEN AS YOU MOVE UP FIVE, AND THEN SEVEN IS SHOWN IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER AND CONSISTS OF TWO FLOORS OF PARKING CAP BY UP TO FIVE STORIES OF RESIDENTIAL, TWO INTERIOR COURTYARDS AND AN EMERGENCY ACCESS DRIVE ALONG THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE ARE ALSO SHOWN TO PROVIDE PRIVACY FOR ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY USES.

INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THE FOUR STORY SECTION ARE LOCATED AWAY FROM THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN SIDES OF THE BUILDING, AND INSTEAD OF EXTERIOR UNITS ALONG THE PERIMETER, ACCESS HALLWAYS WOULD BE LOCATED ALONG THE OUTSIDE WALLS.

SO NO BALCONIES OR WINDOWS FROM UNITS WOULD BE LOOKING OUT OVER THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS, JUST THE, THE CORRIDOR TO WHERE YOU ACCESS THOSE, THOSE UNITS.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROFFERED A MASONRY WALL ON THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PROPERTY BOUNDARIES TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SCREENING TO ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY.

IN A ASSISTANT MEETING.

TRANSITIONAL BUFFER STANDARDS, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING AND COMMITMENTS REGARDING EXTERIOR MATERIALS.

THE BUILDING WOULD BE ARCHITECTURALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE RECENT MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTY WITH AN ARTICULATED FACADE AND BALCONIES BREAKING UP.

THE GENERAL MASSING EXTERIOR MATERIALS WOULD CONSIST OF BRICK, STONE, OR CEMENTITIOUS SIDING.

THE FOUR STORY PORTION IS DESIGNED TO RESEMBLE TOWNHOUSES AND WOULD OFFER A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE SEVEN STORY SECTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES.

THE ELEVATIONS ALSO SHOW THE HEIGHT OF THE FOUR STORY PORTION IS APPROXIMATELY SIX TO EIGHT TALLER THAN THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDINGS, WHICH ARE LOCATED CLOSER TO THE EXISTING RESIDENCES THAN THE PROPOSED MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.

IN RESPONSE TO RESIDENT CONCERNS, THE APPLICANT HAS AGAIN, STEPPED BACK THE SEVEN STORY SECTION, RELOCATING THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS TO THE SOUTHERN INTERNAL COURTYARD, ADDITIONAL PROFFERS ADDRESS IN INTERNAL SOUND SUPPRESSION, RECREATIONAL AMENITIES, CONSTRUCTION HOURS AND FENCING EXHIBITS ADDRESSING PARKING AND GARAGE SCREENING AND WILLOW LAWN DRIVE.

STREET SCAPES ARE ALSO PROFFERED.

WITH REGARDS TO THE PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A PROFESSIONALLY CERTIFIED PARKING ANALYSIS AND HAS PROFFERED A MINIMUM OF ONE PARKING SPACE PER BEDROOM, OR 1.58 SPACES PER UNIT, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

THESE PARKING REQUIREMENTS ARE REINFORCED IN THE PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT CONDITIONS.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO SEEKING RELIEF FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS FOR A PORTION OF THE SEVEN STORY BUILDING THAT MAY EXCEED THE CODE HEIGHT ALLOWANCES.

WE REALLY WON'T DETERMINE THAT UNTIL WE GET TO ACTUAL ENGINEERING AND PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE.

UH, THE, THE GOAL OF, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS ARE TO PROVIDE PROPER TRANSITION BETWEEN EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AND NEW DEVELOPMENT.

AND, UH, WHAT HAPPENS HERE IS YOU'VE GOT AN ESTABLISHED MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 45 FEET WITHIN THE AREA, 75 FEET.

AND BACK TO THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS YOU MOVE INTO THE 75 TO 150 FEET.

YOU CAN COME UP TO 55 FEET, AND THEN ONCE YOU GET BEYOND 150 FEET, YOU CAN GO UP TO 110 FEET.

AND WHILE THE FOUR STORY SECTION IS SHOWN UNDER 45 FEET, THIS PORTION OF THE BUILDING MAY EXCEED THE 55 FEET, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO EXCEED IT A GREAT DEAL.

SO WE HAVE TO, UH, WE'LL MAKE A BETTER DETERMINATION OF THAT AT THE TIME OF PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT.

BUT AS FAR AS THE WAY THE BUILDING STEPPED UP AND THE ANGLE AT WHICH YOU LOOK FROM THE REAR YARD, YOU REALLY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE MASSING OF THE ADDITIONAL BUILDING.

THE PROPOSED DENSITY OF THE 109 UNITS PER ACRE IS SIMILAR TO OTHER RECENT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS

[00:35:01]

UH, ONE EXAMPLE BEING KINSALE, UH, 260 UNITS TOTAL, 113 UNITS AN ACRE, A TRANSITIONAL BUFFER.

25 WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED ON THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN BOUNDARIES TO PROVIDE SCREENING BETWEEN THE ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.

WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS THAT INCLUDE A RESTRICTION ON UNITS WITH MORE THAN TWO BEDROOMS AND ADDRESS SIDEWALKS, PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING ALONG THE ADJACENT ROADWAYS.

THE PROPERTY IS IN THE ENTERPRISE ZONE IN THE 2026.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AREA FOR THE SUBJECT SITE.

SEVERAL FACTORS REGARDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA POSSIBLY SUPPORTED DEVIATION FROM THE PLAN.

FOR THIS REQUEST.

THE PROPERTY'S PROXIMITY TO EXISTING MASS TRANSIT.

AS YOU KNOW, THE RAPID TRANSIT STATION IS LOCATED THERE IN THE WILLOW LAWN AREA, AND, AND ARTERIAL ROADWAYS COULD MITIGATE IMPACTS ON THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND THE REQUEST WOULD NOT BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE WILLOW LAWN DRIVE CORRIDOR, WHICH IS THE SITE OF MULTI-STORY OFFICE BUILDINGS, THE WILLOW LAWN SHOPPING CENTER, AND OF COURSE, ONE OF THE TALLEST BUILDINGS IN THE COUNTY.

THE CONDO BUILDING THAT'S KNOWN AS 5,100 MONUMENT, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 115 FEET TALL, STAFF SUPPORTS THESE REQUESTS AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONCURRED RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF BOTH REQUESTS AT THEIR APRIL 14TH MEETING.

AGAIN, SEPARATE ACTIONS WILL BE NECESSARY FOR THE TWO ITEMS UNDER CONSIDERATION, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TRY AND ANSWER THEM.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? YES.

UH, MR. EMERSON, UH, FOR MY EDIFICATION ALSO FOR CITIZENS WHO MAY BE LISTING IN, UH, WHAT IS THE HIGHEST IN TERMS OF STORIES THAT WE ALLOW IN RACO COUNTY? WHAT IS THE HIGHEST? WELL, IT DEPENDS ON, ON WHICH DISTRICT DISTRICT YOU'RE IN.

THE, UH, URBAN MIXED USE, UNLESS LIMITED BY PROFFER, COULD, IS NOT LIMITED.

YOU COULD GO UP AS AS HIGH AS YOU CHOOSE TO, UH, COST EFFECT, NORMALLY THERE IS A LIMIT IN THOSE, THOSE PROFFERS ON THOSE CASES.

AND OF COURSE, THE COST OF GOING VERTICAL LIMITS.

THE HEIGHT THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL GO TO, THE, UH, HIGHEST STRUCTURE IN THE COUNTY ARE THE GRANDSTANDS AT RICHMOND RACEWAY, AND THOSE EXCEED 200 FEET.

THE NEXT HIGHEST STRUCTURE IS THE CONTROL TOWER AT, UH, RICHMOND AIRPORT.

AND THEN OF COURSE, 5,100 MONUMENT IS OUR TALLEST RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE AT THIS TIME.

UH, YOU'VE RECENTLY APPROVED BUILDINGS IN EXCESS OF A HUNDRED FEET IN THE INNSBROOK URBAN MIXED USE.

UH, LIBBY MILL HAS SOME APPROVALS THAT, UH, I BELIEVE PUSH OVER A HUNDRED FEET, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

THEY HAVEN'T BUILT TO THAT LEVEL, BUT HAVE THE ALLOWANCES TO DO IT.

BUT YOU COULD GO UP IN GENERAL, I WOULD SAY 200 FEET OR SO IS THE NORMAL LIMIT IN HENRICO COUNTY RIGHT NOW THAT YOU'LL SEE .

OKAY.

SO I NOTICED THAT YOU, YOU, YOU, AS FAR AS THE TERMINOLOGY YOU USE, YOU DON'T REFER TO TO STORE.

OKAY.

UH, LAST QUESTION.

WHAT IS HYPOTHETICAL? UH, SINCE LAND IS GOING UP, I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA GO DOWN DURING MY LIFETIME.

WITH THE FUTURE OF PORTEND TO HAVE HIGHER BUILDINGS YES, SIR.

ABSOLUTELY.

IS THE VALUE YOU AND YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD.

AS THE VALUE OF PROPERTY GOES UP, UH, AND IT BECOMES MORE SCARCE, THEN THAT MAKES IT MORE COST EFFECTIVE FOR DEVELOPERS TO PUT IN STRUCTURED PARKING.

IT ALSO CREATES A DEMAND IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE COUNTY, AS YOU'LL SEE IN, IN ONE OF YOUR CASES THIS EVENING, ON ROUTE ONE, UH, WHERE STRUCTURES BEGIN TO BE REPLACED, SUCH AS THESE OFFICE BUILDINGS WITH TALLER STRUCTURES, DENSER STRUCTURES TO PROVIDE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE AND IN PROXIMITY TO THE SERVICES AND THINGS THAT THEY DESIRE.

BUT THE VALUE OF LAND ALWAYS DRIVES THE ABILITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY TO INVEST MORE AND CREATE MORE VERTICAL TYPES OF STRUCTURES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? UM, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING I WANNA GO OVER JUST FOR A SECOND.

THANK YOU.

YEAH, THANKS.

HI, I AM KAITLYN BERGAL, 53 18 FITZ HUE AVENUE.

I'M PRESIDENT OF THE MONUMENTAL FLORAL GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.

THANK YOU TO THE BOARD FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK.

I'VE GOT JUST A, A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS, UM, FOR A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT.

UM, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS IN THE BROOKLYN DISTRICT.

WE ARE BORDERED BY FOUR VERY BUSY STREETS, BROAD STREET, WILLOW LAWN DRIVE, MONUMENT AVENUE, AND LIBBY AVENUE.

WE'RE SITUATED, SITUATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE TARGET AT LIBBY, LIBBY AND BROAD.

SO THE CRENSHAW REALTY PROJECT AT WILLOW LAWN DRIVE WILL BE DIRECTLY BEHIND MANY OF OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOMES.

UM, AND AS SUCH, WE ASK THE COUNTY TO CONTINUE TO ASK THIS AND ALL DEVELOPERS TO AS CLOSELY ADHERE TO THE COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS FOR SETBACKS FROM RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AS IS POSSIBLE.

UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR THOSE HEIGHT STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WE PROTECT THE VALUE OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, ADHERENCE TO THE SETBACKS STATED IN THAT PART OF THE CODE ARE IMPORTANT FOR OUR NEIGHBORS LIVING ON SHAW AVENUE AND GRACE STREET, WHO LIVED DIRECTLY BEHIND AND ADJACENT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT.

ADDITIONALLY, UM, WE'VE ASKED OUR BROOKLYN REPRESENTATIVE, MR. SCHMIDT , THANKS TO HIM, UM, TO HELP US WITH, UM, THIS NEXT PART OF THE REQUEST.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT WITH THE WILLOW LAWN DRIVE DEVELOPMENT AND WITH THE EXPANSION UPCOMING IN THE, UM, PUBLIC HEARING TODAY, UM, OF LIBBY MILL, UM, TRAFFIC WILL INCREASE THROUGH OUR PORTION OF THE BROOKLYN DISTRICT.

AND WITH ADDING HIGH DENSITY APARTMENT HOUSING TO WILLOW LAWN DRIVE, WE ANTICIPATE, UM, I THINK THE NUMBER WAS AT 265 NEW APARTMENT NEIGHBORS IN OUR, IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND WE HAVE 290 HOMES IN OUR CURRENT NEIGHBORHOOD NOW.

SO WE'RE BASICALLY DOUBLING THE DENSITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, AND WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN FAVOR OF THIS.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPERS TO ADHERE TO THOSE COUNTY SETBACKS, SO THEY'VE BEEN REALLY HELPFUL IN HELPING US, UM, MEET THOSE COUNTY STANDARDS.

UM, BUT AS WE'RE BASICALLY DOUBLING THE POPULATION OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WE'D LIKE TO ADVOCATE FOR ADDITIONAL STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES THROUGHOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT HAVE SIDEWALKS, SO WE GET A LOT OF CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC ON FITS HU AND OLD RICHMOND AND BIRD AVENUES ALREADY.

UM, THE TRAFFIC ON BIRD AVENUE IS REALLY FAST.

THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35, AND THERE'S NO SIDEWALK PAST THE FAISON SCHOOL.

THERE'S A MUDDY DITCH AND THERE IS AN HENRICO COUNTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUS STOP ON THIS MUDDY DITCH ON BIRD AVENUE, WHERE CARS SPEED 50 MILES AN HOUR DOWN THAT ROAD.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO CONTINUE TO REDUCE CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, SLOW THE TRAFFIC THAT DOES COME THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SAFE FOR, FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING WITH THEIR CHILDREN, STROLLERS, THEIR PETS, UM, ALL OF THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE SIDEWALKS TO WALK ON, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S, UM, REPRESENTATIVE SCHMIDT CAME AND WALKED THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH US LAST WEEK AND SAW ALL OF OUR CONCERNS AND WAS SUPER HELPFUL IN THINKING THROUGH THAT.

UM, THANKS SO MUCH MR. SCHMIDT FOR THAT.

APPRECIATE IT.

WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP.

UM, SO I'M HERE TO ADVOCATE FOR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, BOTH IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND ACROSS HENRICO COUNTY.

UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US WHERE WE LIVE, WE CAN WALK TO TARGET, WE CAN WALK TO THE KROGER AT WILLOW LAWN.

WE CAN GO SHOPPING, WE CAN RIDE OUR BIKES, WE CAN TAKE OUR KIDS OVER TO THE STARBUCKS.

WE CAN EVEN WALK TO DOCTOR'S APARTMENTS, I MEAN DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS AT, UM, ST.

MARY'S.

AND SO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS REALLY WALKABLE RIGHT NOW.

AND AS THE DENSITY INCREASES, WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO ENSURE THAT THAT CONTINUES TO BE THE CASE.

UM, THERE IS AN INTERNATIONAL PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM CALLED VISION ZERO.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD OF IT, BUT VISION ZERO AND VISION'S A WORLD WITH ZERO PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES OR INJURIES BY CARS.

AND I HOPE HENRICO COUNTY WILL CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT ADOPTING A VISION ZERO KIND OF MINDSET AS YOU CONTINUE TO INCREASE, UM, DENSITY IN DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL AREAS SO THAT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND BICYCLE SAFETY IS, IS REALLY A TOP OF MIND WHEN APPROVING THIS, THIS SORT OF DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT.

UM, I LOVE LIVING IN HENRICO COUNTY.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, AND MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THAT FOR THE FUTURE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? HI, UH, THIS IS JOHN OWENS FROM A 5,001 LIBBY MILL EAST BOULEVARD OVER IN LIBBY MILL IN THE BROOKLYN DISTRICT.

UM, I'M IN GENERAL FAVOR OF INCREASING DENSITY IN THE AREA.

I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT.

I THINK.

UM, ONE THING I DID NOTE IS, UM, WHEN THE GENTLEMAN WAS EXPLAINING THE

[00:45:02]

UM, I, I WOULD ASK THE COUNTY, UM, WITH THE THOUGHT OF NEEDING AFFORDABLE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR FAMILIES THAT WE MIGHT CONSIDER AT LEAST HAVING SOME THREE BEDROOM STOCK IN THE COUNTY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

UM, IS THERE ANYONE ON WEBEX WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? THERE'S NO ONE FOR THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

I'D LIKE TO, UH, ADDRESS A FEW OF THE, UM, COMMENTS THAT WE HEARD HERE TONIGHT.

AND, AND A FEW THAT WE'VE HEARD OVER THE COURSE OF.

AND I WANNA BE CLEAR, THERE WAS COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON THIS PROJECT BEGAN IN, IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER WITH, UH, 60 PLUS PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE PLAN.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS DEFERRED THIS CASE FOR MORE WORK TWICE.

UM, I, I CLEARED PLANNING, UH, I THINK, UH, I WANNA SAY CLEARED PLANNING IN, UH, APRIL, UH, RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL.

AND OBVIOUSLY HERE IT IS TODAY.

SO A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO THIS.

UM, CAITLYN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

I WANNA ADDRESS A FEW OF THEM 'CAUSE YOUR TIMING IS IMPECCABLE TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

I, IN MY HAND, I HAVE A PIE CHART THAT OUR DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS SENT ME WITH REGARD TO SOME CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.

UM, SO MR. HUGHES, THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRA WORK YOU TOOK ON OLD RICHMOND AND FITZ YOU TO GET THIS.

IT ADDRESSES A LOT OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD ABOUT INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TRIPS, SO THERE'LL BE MORE CONVERSATIONS ON THAT, MUCH LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT ON OUR WALKIN TOUR, UM, WHICH I APPRECIATE THE EXERCISE THAT MORNING AS WELL.

UM, ON, ON THAT NOTE AS WELL, MR. HUGHES AND MR. YAB THIS AFTERNOON, I, UM, I ASKED MY ASSISTANT, UH, TO SCHEDULE A MEETING WHERE WE COULD TALK ABOUT THE CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC AND WHAT THIS PROJECT AND OTHERS WILL DO TO NOT ONLY FITZ HU, WHERE IT CONNECTS RIGHT TO A LAWN OLD RICHMOND, OF COURSE, BUT ALSO GRACE.

IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THIS AND IT'S THINNER.

UH, QUITE HONESTLY, AFTER WHERE I WALKED THROUGH, I, I WALKED THAT GRACE, I NEEDED MORE EXERCISE, BUT IT'S THINNER AND A LITTLE OVERHUNG BY TREES.

SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT COMING UP IN THE MEETING TOO.

CAITLYN, SO THAT, THAT'S COMING AS ALL PART OF THIS PROJECT.

I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND I KNOW THEY CONCUR WITH, WITH, WITH, WITH THESE COMMENTS THAT I'M MAKING HERE TONIGHT.

'CAUSE THEY'VE BEEN REALLY OPEN AND FORTHCOMING IN THEIR, IN ADJUSTMENTS TO MR. THORNTON'S COMMENT ABOUT VERTICALITY.

IT'S WELL TIMED AS WELL.

AND MR. EMERSON'S ANSWER IS BASED ON LOCATION AND WE JUST HEARD, UH, TWO SPEAKERS BOTH COMMENT TO APPROPRIATE IN THE AREA IF DONE CORRECTLY.

AND I THINK THOSE COMMENTS, MR. THORNTON, WERE FITTING.

SO THANK YOU, SIR.

UM, I ALSO WANNA KNOW THIS IS OLD COMMERCIAL SPACE, UM, AND AS OUR COUNTY FI RE REEVALUATES AND AS THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY HAS RIGHTFULLY REEVALUATED WHAT TO DO WITH IT, UM, RESIDENTIAL, UM, DEVELOPMENT OF THIS KIND IN THIS AREA IS WHERE I BELIEVE IT IS, IT IS MOST FITTING.

I WANNA ALSO BRING UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY STUDY.

MR. EMERSON, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

THAT WAS CHANGED.

MR. EMERSON, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THOSE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS WERE ADJUSTED AT THE COMMUNITY REQUEST.

IS THAT, IS THAT RIGHT? SO I WANNA THANK THE APPLICANT FOR LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY.

THIS HAS BEEN AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND.

THE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN VERY VOCAL AND I, I THINK THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN VERY WILLING AND THE DELAYS IN THIS CASE HAVE MADE IT BETTER IN MY, IN MY OPINION.

UM, AND ON THAT NOTE AND, AND SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN THE ROOM, MADAM CHAIR, UH, ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS CASE, I'D SEE HIM KNOWN.
