UH, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

UM, MY SECOND COMMENT I'D LIKE WE'RE PLEASED TO HAVE WITH US THIS EVENING, THE 2025 CHRISTMAS MOTHER, MS. ANNE MCGEE, WHO'S GONNA GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE 2025, UH, CHRISTMAS MOTHER PROGRAM AND ASK TANYA BRACKET OUR CLERK TO COME FORWARD.

BUT ANN JOIN THE COUNCIL IN 2022, AND SHE CO-CHAIRS THE FUNDRAISING AND COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE AND HELPS WITH CLOTHING DISTRIBUTION AND DOES SO MUCH MORE.

[00:15:01]

SHE CO-CHAIRS THE FUNDRAISING AND COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE, AND SHE HELPS WITH THE CLOTHING DISTRIBUTION.

AND MS. ANN IS ALSO A RESIDENT OF THE THREE TOP DISTRICT.

SO SHE'S GONNA GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRAM AND HOW APPLICATION STATUS WENT AND HOW MANY FAMILIES WE'LL BE SERVING THIS YEAR.

HI EVERYBODY.

UM, SHOULD I JUST LOOK THIS WAY? OKAY.

.

UM, I WANNA SAY HOW GRATEFUL AND HONORED I AM TO SERVE AS THE 2025 HENRICO CHRISTMAS PROGRAM.

AS YOU WELL KNOW, IT'S BEEN AROUND SINCE 1942, SERVING THOSE LESS FORTUNATE NA NEIGHBORS IN HENRICO COUNTY.

LAST YEAR WE SERVED 1,524 FAMILIES, ALMOST 4,700 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 2,500 CHILDREN AND 840 SENIORS AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES.

UM, OUR APPLICATION PERIOD IS DONE NOW, WE DO IT IN OCTOBER.

WE ARE GOING TO SERVE 100 MORE FAMILIES THIS YEAR, SO ABOUT 1,625 FAMILIES.

UM, WE'RE EXCITED, WE'RE LIKE LITTLE ELVES GETTING OUR WAREHOUSE READY, UH, ALONG WITH THE HELP OF 500 COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

UM, I FEEL LIKE THIS YEAR PEOPLE ARE VERY SENSITIZED TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE, AND WE ARE GETTING MANY, MANY CALLS, UM, ABOUT HOW CAN WE HELP, HOW CAN WE DONATE, HOW CAN WE BRING FOOD TO THE WAREHOUSE? AND THAT IS REALLY GRATIFYING.

UM, OUR DISTRIBUTION PERIOD, WE'LL START ON DECEMBER 8TH, IT WILL RUN FOR FIVE DAYS AND PEOPLE COME TO THE WAREHOUSE SUPPLIED BY THE COUNTY, UM, AND ACTUALLY RECEIVE THE FOOD AND SHOP AND CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEIR FAMILY.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIGNITY AND JOY INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.

UH, I JUST WANNA SAY THAT AS CHRISTMAS MOTHER, I'VE HAD AN ABSOLUTE BALL GOING ALL OVER THE COUNTY.

IT'S INCREDIBLE WHAT HENRICO COUNTY GOVERNMENT DOES.

I'M GONNA GAIN 50 POUNDS BY THE TIME IT'S OVER, BETWEEN THE BRATWURST AND, UH, BARBECUE AND HOMEMADE SOUPS AND, UH, IT'S REALLY GREAT.

AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE, UH, HENRICO COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR ALL THE FOOD THAT THEY COLLECT AND HELP FOR US.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO COME AND HELP US VOLUNTEER, COME LOOK AT THE WAREHOUSE.

IT'S, UH, IN THE EAST END, NEXT TO THE GOVERNMENT CENTER ON DAB HOUSE ROAD, AND YOU CAN ALSO GO ONTO OUR WEBSITE, UM, AT HENRICO CHRISTMAS MOTHER.ORG IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER.

THANK YOU.

GOOD CHAIR.

DO YOU WANT TO HANDLE THAT BEFORE WE, THE MINUTES? SURE.

UM, SO I'M GONNA ASK JOY AND CHARITY TO COME FORWARD AND, UH, WE'VE RECOGNIZED, UH, A NUMBER OF HERITAGE MONTHS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AND SINCE 1990, CONGRESS HAS AUTHORIZED AN ANNUAL PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING NOVEMBER AS NATIONAL AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGE MONTH TO ENCOURAGE ALL PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND CULTURES OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES.

AND JULIAN IS OUR DIVISION DIRECTOR FOR HISTORY, HERITAGE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AND HE'S GONNA TELL US ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH.

JULIAN.

THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER, MR. CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I STAND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT

[00:20:01]

THE NATIONAL THEME THIS YEAR IS WEAVING TOGETHER OUR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.

IT IS NO COINCIDENCE TO STAND HERE TODAY, THE DAY AFTER THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY OF VETERANS DAY.

THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THIS NATION HAVE SERVED HONORABLY AND WITH DISTINCTION AND SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR THIS NATION.

WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE STORIES OF THE CODE TALKERS FROM WORLD WAR I, WORLD WARS ONES AND TWO, ONE AND TWO.

BUT SERVICEMEN USE, UH, THEY WERE USING THEIR OWN NATIVE LANGUAGES TO SEND CODED MESSAGES, WHICH COULD NOT BE DECODED BY THE ENEMY, BUT NOT AS MANY KNOW OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE SERVING IN THE, THE NATION DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THE WAR OF 1812, AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR A NATION OF WHICH THEY WERE NOT EVEN CITIZENS.

IT IS NO COINCIDENCE TO STAND HERE TONIGHT FOR IT WAS JUST OVER 100 YEARS AGO THAT NATIVE AMERICANS WERE GRANTED CITIZENSHIP.

CITIZENSHIP TO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THROUGH THE IDI INDIAN CITIZEN ACT OF 1924, GRANTED CITIZENSHIP TO A LAND IN WHICH THEY WERE STEWARDS BEFORE THERE WAS A UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

FOR WHEN CAPTAINS JOHN SMITH AND CA CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT WALKED UPON THE LANDS OF THE ARAH HADDOCK TRIBE, TODAY'S VERONA AND WALTON FARMS. IN 1607, THEY WERE MET BY ASHU AQUID, CHIEF OF THE A HADDOCK TRIBE AND ELABORATE PARTY, AND THEY WERE GIVEN WITH LAVISH ENTERTAINMENT.

THE AHA WERE MEMBERS OF THE PEAN CONFEDERACY, THE OVERALL GOVERNING BODY OF 30 ALIGNED TRIBES UNDER THE PARAMOUNT CHIEF PEAN.

WE STRIVE TO LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THOSE EARLY TRIBES WHO STEWARDED THE LANDS THAT TODAY WE CALL HENRICO.

WE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WHO STILL LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY IN HENRICO COUNTY.

THERE ARE 11 TRIBES RECOGNIZED BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, AND SEVEN TRIBES RECOGNIZED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHILE NOVEMBER IS RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY AS NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH.

AND RIKO RECOGNIZES INDIGENOUS, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK OF EVERY MONTH.

THANK YOU.

UH, UH, MR. HUMPHREYS, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S

[00:35:01]

MR. CHAIR.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THIS, AGAIN, THIS DEFERRAL HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT.

ANY QUESTIONS ON BEHALF OF MY COLLEAGUES? ALRIGHT, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

DOES ANYONE IN THE ROOM WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM AND THE DEFERRAL REQUEST? YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

MR. MANAGER, RECO, BOARD AND TEAM.

UH, MY NAME IS DENNIS BERMAN.

I'D LIKE TO STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE BOARD DOES NOT APPROVE THIS REZONING REQUEST AND, UM, I THINK YOU RECOGNIZE ME JUST 'CAUSE I'VE WORKED WITH ALMOST ALL OF YOU IN THE PAST.

UH, AND I MISS YOU GUYS.

UM, I DID SERVE, AS YOU KNOW, ON MANY HENRICO BOARDS AND TASK FORCE AS WELL AS THE WINDHAM FOUNDATION BOARD, AND, UH, CURRENTLY SERVING ON THE SMART DEVELOPMENT TASK FORCE.

BUT TODAY I'M HERE AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN AND I ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, ALTHOUGH I KNOW LOTS SHARE MY CONCERNS.

I'LL BE QUICK ABOUT IT.

TONIGHT, I ONLY HAVE FOUR THINGS THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WITH THIS PROJECT.

UH, FIRST IS SCHOOL OVERCROWDING.

THIS PROJECT WILL PUT TWO OF OUR THREE SCHOOLS INTO TRAILERS.

THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING.

TRAFFIC, IT'LL GENERATE NEARLY 800, UH, TRIPS EVERY WEEKDAY, ADDITIONAL TRIPS.

UM, IT'S ALSO AT THE BACK ENTRANCE TO OUR COMMUNITY OF WYNDHAM, WHICH IS ALREADY KIND OF BACKUP AND TRAFFIC.

UH, IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL, KALEY ELEMENTARY, UH, WHICH COULD CAUSE SOME CONCERNS WITH PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.

AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, THAT WE HAVE FOR HENRICO COUNTY REALLY DIDN'T ANTICIPATE ALL THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING CRAZY IN OUR PART OF TOWN.

IT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE AMAZON AND IN OTHER COUNTIES AS WELL.

IT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE AMAZON DISTRIBUTION CENTER, THE PROPOSED NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, THE PROPOSED, UH, DATA CENTERS.

UH, SO, UH, OTH OTHER CONCERN.

THE LAST, UH, OTHER CONCERN IS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.

THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO A LOT OF VERY SENSITIVE AREAS.

AND FINALLY, HOME VALUES.

UH, WILL PEOPLE BUYING THESE HOMES KNOW THAT THEY'RE RIGHT NEXT TO A ROCK QUARRY, UH, THAT USED TO HAVE SOME BLASTING THERE? UH, THAT, UM, THERE'S POSSIBLE, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, DATA CENTERS AND NUKE PLANT WITHIN A MILE.

AND NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE MOSAIC IN ANOTHER COUNTY, THEY WERE VERY ILL-INFORMED, BUT NOW THEY MAY BE RIGHT NEXT TO A NUKE PLANT AND, AND A GAS PEAKING PLANT.

SO, UH, IN SUMMARY, AGAIN, I'M, I'M HOPING THAT YOU ALL WILL DENY THIS REQUEST AND, UM, HELP CONTROL SOME OF THIS EXPLODING DEVELOPMENT IN OUR AREA.

THE, UH, UM, AND IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DECIDE TO LET IT MOVE FORWARD, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN DEFERRED 26 TIMES, I TALKED TO MR. HUMPHREYS ABOUT THIS BACK IN 2022.

THAT'S HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN PERCOLATING.

UM, BUT EAGLE MARKEL, THEY CAN SPEAK TO THAT IF THEY WISH.

UH, IF YOU DO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, I'M ASKING FOR THE FOLLOWING.

NUMBER ONE, THERE'S JUST FOUR ITEMS. TAKE THE, UH, ZONING R FIVE AC CONDITIONAL AND KNOCK IT DOWN TO ONE HOME PER ACRE.

RIGHT NOW IT'S AT 1.5.

SO WITH 40 SOME ODD ACRES, THAT WOULD BE FOUR SEVEN HOMES INSTEAD OF 70 PLUS.

THE SECOND IS MAKE IT A SENIOR OR AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITY PROFFERED THAT WAY, THAT WAY THEY WON'T CLOG THE SCHOOLS UP BECAUSE 80%, UM, PEOPLE LIKELY NOT HAVE SCHOOL AGED KIDS THERE.

THE THIRD IS, UM, AND I SEE MR. YAB BACK THERE.

MAYBE YOU CAN HELP WITH THIS ONE.

UH, PUT IN A SIGNALING CROSSWALK TO KEEP THE KIDS SAFE, WALKING FROM WYNDHAM TO CLEY ON PCY TRACK ROAD AND THE FOURTH AND FINAL ONE AT A STOPLIGHT AT OLD WYNDHAM DRIVE AT PCY TRACK.

AND I UNDERSTAND V DOT PROBABLY HAVE TO GET INVOLVED WITH THAT.

SO AGAIN, I'M HOPING THAT YOU ALL DON'T ALLOW THIS TO GO FORWARD, BUT IF YOU DO, THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND AS A CITIZEN, A CONCERNED CITIZEN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU SIR.

ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS DEFERRAL? HELLO, UH, CHANNING PERKINS AT 52 50 EAST BRANCH DRIVE, GLEN HILL IN VIRGINIA.

UM, TO JUST REEMPHASIZE PREVIOUS GENTLEMAN'S STATEMENTS, THE PROFFERS SHOW DENSITY NO MORE THAN 72 DEBT DETACHED, SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS,

[00:40:01]

SO 1.5 HOMES PER ACRE IS MISCALCULATED.

IT'S BEEN HEARD, SHOULD BET DOWNGRADE IT TO THE R THREE C.

ALLOW FOR BIGGER LOTS AS THEY HAVE IT DRAWN.

NOW THERE'S VERY MINIMAL SPACE BETWEEN THE HOMES AND REALLY DOESN'T FIT WITH THE AREA OUT THERE.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS THEY MENTIONED ANOTHER PARCEL THAT WAS PART OF IT.

THAT IS, UM, WOULD HAVE TO RE REZONE SEPARATELY.

AND WHAT IS THE ACREAGE ON THAT PARCEL THAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS 46 ACRES? HOW MUCH IS THAT ACREAGE? IS THAT FIGURED INTO THE 1.5 THAT THEY'RE STATING? SO I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT STILL NEED TO BE ANSWERED AND GONE OVER TO EARLY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

HI, MY NAME'S JENNIFER LIEBERMAN AND I AM ENTHRALLED TO HEAR THAT YOU ALL ARE SO FASCINATED IN THE WAYS THAT I AM ABLE TO WRITE ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THAT I HAVE TO KEEP WRITING SPEECHES.

BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I'M ALL HONESTLY PRETTY FRUSTRATED THAT I HAVE TO KEEP LAMBASTING YOUR POLICY DECISIONS WITH WRITING AND QUITE INTRICATE AND PASSIONATE SPEECHES.

ALL YOU COULD HAVE DONE WAS HAVE IN-PERSON CONVERSATIONS AFTER THESE MEETINGS WITH ON ACTUAL HOUSING POLICY, AND YOU COULD HAVE APPEASED MY ONCE IN HOUSING POLICY.

BUT ANYWAY, LET'S HAVE ANOTHER CONVERSATION ON ECONOMICS.

SO WE ARE AT A FINANCIAL POINT IN AMERICA WHERE THE POPULACE HAS A COMBINED $1.23 TRILLION IN DEBT TO JUST CREDIT CARDS.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER TYPES OF DEBT, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BORE YOU WITH NUMBERS.

THERE ARE 260 MILLION ADULTS IN AMERICA THAT IS AROUND $4,600 PER PERSON.

THEY'RE AROUND 334,000 ADULTS IN RIKO COUNTY.

WE ARE GOING ON JUST A STATISTICAL AVERAGE.

THAT MEANS IN RIKO COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE A CREDIT CARD DEBT AMOUNT OF $1.5 BILLION.

THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS AROUND A 27% A PR WITH THE AVERAGE A PR AT THE AVERAGE DEBT PER PERSON.

THAT MEANS ONE ABOUT $103 PER PERSON PER MONTH GOING JUST TO THE BANK ON INTEREST.

A RECENT REPORT FROM WALLET HAD JUST SH CAME OUT WITH VIRGINIANS BEING BEHIND ON 25% MORE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS BETWEEN QUARTER ONE AND QUARTER 2 20 25.

WE ARE AT, AT A STATE IN TERM WE ARE AT AT 16TH IN TERMS OF HIGHEST CREDIT CARD DELINQUENCY RATE.

THE CREDIT CARD DELINQUENCY RATE OF VIRGINIANS IS AROUND 30, I MEAN 7.5%.

THE LAST QUARTER'S CHARGE OFF RATE WAS A BIT OVER 4% LOOKING TO BE A TRAJECTORY THAT IS GOING UP.

OUR ECONOMY, AT LEAST IN PART IS BASED ON THE IDEA OF HYPER CONSUMERISM.

MORTGAGE DELINQUENCY RATES ARE AT, I MEAN, MORTGAGE DE DELINQUENCY RATES AT 30 PLUS DAYS IS AT 2.4%, WHICH IS BELOW AVERAGE.

THE REASON I BROUGHT ALL OF THIS INFORMATION UP IS THAT WE ARE IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

MOST SALES WITHIN RETAIL HAPPEN IN QUARTER FOUR.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE BUY STUFF THAT THEY DON'T NEED DURING QUARTER FOUR BECAUSE IT'S ON SALE AND WE HAVE A HYPER CONSUMERIST BASED SOCIETY.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE BUY A BUNCH OF STUFF THAT THEY DON'T NEED ON A FIXED INCOME AND THEY GO OVER THAT AMOUNT, THEY EITHER TRANSFER IT TO A 0% A PR CARD WHERE THEY PAY THE MINIMUM AND HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT THAT BEST NEVER HAPPENS AND THEY'RE STUCK IN AN ENDLESS LOOP STUCK TO PAYING SOME FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN RID OF.

SO MY QUESTION TODAY IS, WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION TO HELP WITH THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF BUYING A HOME? MOST PEOPLE DON'T, WHO BUY A HOME DON'T HAVE A HUGE STACK OF CASH LAYING AROUND AS THEY'RE IN DEBT TO CARS, PHONE STUFF, ET CETERA.

THEY'RE ABLE TO, THEY MAY BE ABLE TO GET A 0% DOWN LOAN, BUT IN THIS SPEECH I GAVE TWO, JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, THAT JUST MAKES THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE TO PAY GO UP EVEN MORE.

IS YOUR SOLUTION TO OFFER

[00:45:01]

THERE IS NO DISCUSSION ON HOW TO BUILD A COMMUNITY, WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THEY BUY IT, WHAT REGULATIONS THERE ARE FOR BUILDING THESE HOUSES.

JUST BUILD, BUILD, BUILD AND WE'LL FIGURE OUT THE REST ONCE IT'S BUILT AND YOU DON'T.

SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, MY ASK TODAY IS THAT YOU TELL THE VULTURES THAT ARE HERE TODAY THAT WANT TO SCORCH THE EARTH AS THEY PROCLAIM THE VESTIGE OF POWER, THAT OF THE FORGOTTEN THAT THEIR SERVICES ARE NOT WANTED.

OR IF YOU ARE TO FIND THE WORDS OF DON SCOTT, THE HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER IN VIRGINIA, UM, SOME SORT OF MOTIVATIONAL EMPOWERMENT WHERE HE SAID, WE CAN'T OVERREACH, WE HAVE TO BE RESTRAINED, WE HAVE TO BE WISE WITH THE GIFTS THAT THE VOTERS HAVE GIVEN US TO GOVERN.

I, WE, I ASK THAT YOU BY RESIGN IN DISGRACE.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS DEFERRAL REQUEST? ANYONE ON WEBEX TO SPEAK TO THE DEFERRAL REQUEST? THERE'S NO ONE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MR. ROAS.

OH, I'M SORRY.

ROUNDTREE.

IT'S ROUNDTREE.

MY APOLOGIES MR. ROUNDTREE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I'M JUST GONNA HAVE MR. ROES HANDLE THAT ONE FOR YOU.

.

UM, SO I'M, I'M GONNA KIND OF LOOP ALL OF THIS, THIS IN TOGETHER.

UM, I, WHEN, WHEN THIS CASE LAST CAME UP IN, IN AUGUST AND, UM, I I COMMENTED THEN THAT, AND MADE NOTE OF HOW MANY TIMES IT HAD BEEN UP BEFORE THIS BOARD, CERTAINLY PRIOR TO ME SERVING ON THIS BOARD PRIOR TO MY PLANNING COMMISSIONER SERVING, UM, IN HIS CURRENT ROLE.

AND I NOTED THAT THAT WOULD BE MY LAST DEFERRAL.

UM, I, I HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED FOR THERE TO BE A COMMUNITY MEETING BECAUSE THREE YEARS IS A LONG TIME AND A LOT HAS HAPPENED AND A LOT HAS CHANGED AND, AND BUILT UP SUCH THAT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN MARCH OF 2022, UM, IT, THE LANDSCAPE DOES MR. VERMAN, AS YOU NOTED, LOOK DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT, UM, BETWEEN NOW AND THEN AND SCHOOL CAPACITY IS VERY DIFFERENT.

SO I DID ASK, UH, THE APPLICANTS TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY MEETING, WHICH THEY DID.

AND, AND I WILL SAY THEY'RE NOT VULTURES, THEY'RE NOT BAD PEOPLE.

THE, UM, BY AND LARGE THE FOLKS THAT, UM, I I MEET WITH IN THE HOUSING COMMUNITY WANT TO DELIVER GOOD PRODUCTS AND ARE NOW STRUGGLING WITH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT IN AN AFFORDABLE WAY.

UM, AND THERE'S NO EASY SOLUTION TO IT.

AND IT'S, I THINK IT'S EASY TO VILLAINIZE, UM, FOLKS BASED ON MISPERCEPTIONS OR PEOPLE IN YOUR EAR SAYING, WHAT, WHAT'S GOING ON? BUT, UM, I JUST, YOU KNOW, WANTED TO SAY, I KNOW YOU GUYS AREN'T VULTURES, UM, AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE WORKED HARD TO TRY TO, UM, GET SOME QUALITY PRODUCT OUT THERE.

UM, AT THIS TIME I, I DO NOT THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO DEFER IT.

AGAIN, I NO, AND I THANK YOU FOR, FOR MEETING, UM, WITH ME, UM, TO ADVISE AS TO THE STATUS OF THE COURT CASE.

AND, AND FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS, THE PART OF THE REASON OR THE REASON THIS CASE HAS, HAS DRAGGED ON FOR THREE YEARS IS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN INVOLVED IN LITIGATION AND AS A TRIAL TRIAL LAWYER, I KNOW THAT THAT IS, UM, CAN TAKE A LONG TIME AND, UM, I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS EXPECT TO HAVE A COURT DATE IN FEBRUARY, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, QUITE LIKELY WON'T BE THE END OF IT.

AND SO, UM, WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT A SITUATION WHERE THIS WOULD CONTINUE TO BE DRAGGED OUT.

AND SO, UM, I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE GRANT THE DEFERRAL, UM, NOR APPROVE THIS CASE AT THIS TIME.

SO I, I WANNA MAKE SURE I DO THE, THE, THE GROUNDWORK PROPERLY.

MR. NEWBIE, MY, MY INTENTION IS TO DENY THE DEFERRAL AND TO DENY THE CASE.

UM, I DO WANT TO STATE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE DENIAL MEANS THAT THEY CAN BRING IT BACK.

THERE'S A SIX MONTH WAITING PERIOD.

I DON'T KNOW, JUST FOR THOSE THAT ARE LISTENING, IF THAT IS THE INTENT OF THE DEVELOPER, I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT SUNK INTO THIS ALREADY.

UM, SO I I I PROFESS NOT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN FROM HERE AFTER TONIGHT'S ACTION.

UM, BUT I DID WANT TO JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE IN FULL DISCLOSURE SO EVERYBODY IS AWARE.

SO, MR. NEWBIE, COULD YOU GUIDE ME, MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? I THINK THE APPROPRIATE MOTION, MS. ROUNDTREE WOULD BE, AS YOU SUGGEST TO MOVE TO DENY THE DEFERRAL.

THAT'LL CLEAN UP THE REQUEST THAT'S ON THE RECORD, AND THEN TAKE WHATEVER ACTION WITH THE CASE YOU PREFER, WHICH COULD BE TO DENY THE CASE.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

IN THAT CASE, MR. CHAIR, I MOVE THAT WE DENY THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO DEFER REZ 2022 DASH 0 0 0 0 2.

MARKEL EAGLE ADVISORS LLC, TO THE MARCH, 2026 MEETING.

THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT MOTION CARRIES MR. MAYOR? NO, SHE GOT ANOTHER MOTION.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF.

MR. CAN I ASK THAT QUESTION? IS IT SIX MONTHS OR IS IT A YEAR THAT THEY CAN BRING IT BACK? IT IS ONE YEAR UNTIL IT CAN BE HEARD PUBLICLY BY THE BOARD AGAIN FROM, FROM TODAY? FROM TODAY, FROM BY THIS BOARD, BUT NOT THE PLANNING COMMISSION? CORRECT.

OKAY.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED.

OH, OKAY.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK.

'CAUSE I HEARD SIX MONTHS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS 12.

OKAY.

12.

LET'S BRING FORWARD A SUBSTANTIAL SIMILAR, OKAY, NOW IF IT CHANGES LOT SIZES.

HEY JOE, CAN YOU USE THE MIC SO TO FOCUS ON WEBEX, YOU, SORRY.

IT'S, IT'S 12 MONTHS TO BRING FORWARD A SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR CASE.

NOW IF SAY IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS THEY CAME FORWARD, IT HAD FEWER LOTS, IT HAD BEEN ALTERED IN SOME WAY, IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE THE SAME CASE.

SO, SO, SO FOR EXAMPLE, AND I, I'D SAY THAT'S NOT SAYING THAT IT WOULD BE LIKELY, BUT IF, FOR EXAMPLE, IT WERE TO CHANGE FROM THE 72 PROPOSED TO THE ONE ACRE PER LOT, THAT WOULD BE A SUBSTANTIALLY DISSIMILAR CASE ENOUGH THAT THEY YES MA'AM.

I WOULD ACCEPT THAT AS A FILING.

GOTCHA.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.

THANK YOU MR. ROGE.
