[8a. 291-25 REZ-2025-102326 Brookland Youngblood Properties LLC: Request to conditionally rezone from A-1 Agricultural District to R-2C One-Family Residence District (Conditional) Parcel 764-769-2688 containing 2.356 acres located at the northwest intersection of Tiller Road and Brennen Robert Place. The applicant proposes single-family homes. The use will be controlled by zoning ordinance regulations and proffered conditions. The 2026 Comprehensive Plan recommends Suburban Residential 1, where density should not exceed 2.4 units per acre. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors deny the request. The applicant has since revised their application from R-2AC to request R-2C zoning. (Deferred from the December 2, 2025, meeting.) ]

LLC, WITH A CONDITIONAL REZONING FROM A-1 AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO R2C1 FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT, A PARCEL THAT CONTAINS NEARLY 2.4 ACRES PARCELS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF TILLER ROAD AND BRENNAN ROBERT PLACE, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

MR. EMERSON. THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THIS REQUEST FIRST APPEARED ON YOUR AGENDA DECEMBER 2ND. IT AT THAT TIME, AND AT THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, THE CASE WAS DEFERRED FOR TWO MONTHS.

SINCE THEN, THE APPLICANT MET WITH STAFF AND HAS AMENDED THEIR REZONING REQUEST TO R2 C FROM R2. AC PROFFERS IN THE CONCEPT PLAN ARE UPDATED AND THEY ARE CONTAINED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT. THIS IS NOW A REQUEST TO REZONE 2.3566 ACRES FROM A-1 AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO R2C1 FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO CREATE THREE VERSUS THE ORIGINAL FOUR SINGLE FAMILY LOTS AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF TILLER ROAD AND BRENNAN ROBERT PLACE IN THE BROOKLYN DISTRICT.

THE AREA WEST OF TILLER ROAD PRIMARILY CONSISTS OF LARGE ACRE LOTS AND TO THE EAST IS MEADOW FARMS, ZONED R TWO.

THERE IS AN EXISTING HOME WHICH WOULD REMAIN ON THIS PROPERTY.

TWO NEW LOTS ARE PROPOSED WHICH WOULD ACCESS THE NEW ROAD.

THE APPLICANT OWNS THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST AND INTENDS TO DEVELOP IT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. THE 15 SUBMITTED PROFFERS PROVIDE QUALITY GUARANTEES COVERING DENSITY, ACCESS, PROVISION OF WATER AND SEWER BUILDING MATERIALS, AND HOURS OF CONSTRUCTION.

THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDED THESE ELEVATIONS.

THE 2026 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL, ONE SINGLE FAMILY USE AND DENSITY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN'S RECOMMENDATION.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL BASED ON CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THIS WOULD BE INTEGRATED INTO THE OVERALL AREA AND OUT OF CHARACTER, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT SURROUNDING IT. THAT WAS THE PREVIOUS REQUEST.

STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE APPLICANT'S REVISED REZONING REQUEST ADDRESSES THE COMMISSION'S CONCERNS AND WOULD HELP REINFORCE THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE AREA AND PROMOTE COMMUNITY COHESIVENESS.

FOR THESE REASONS, STAFF SUPPORTS THIS REQUEST.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TRY AND ANSWER THEM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. EMERSON. I'LL START WITH MR. SCHMIDT. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME, BUT CERTAINLY WILLING TO HEAR FROM FOLKS WHO WANT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE CASE. ALL RIGHT.

SO IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS CASE? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

YES, SIR. PLEASE GO TO THE PODIUM IN THE BACK.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE, SIR. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND. YOU DON'T MIND, SIR? CAN WE MAKE SURE THE MIC IS ON, PLEASE? CAN SOMEBODY MAKE THAT SORT OF MIX ON FOR HIM? HELLO? THERE WE GO. NOW IT'S ON NOW.

THANK YOU. YES, SIR. YOU MAY PROCEED, SIR.

[00:35:04]

MY NAME IS LARRY HADLEY, AND I LIVE AT 109 ZERO ZERO TAYLOR ROAD, DIRECTLY TO THE RIGHT OF THIS PROPERTY, AND I HAD SENT ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS AN EMAIL PRIOR TO THE LAST MEETING IN DECEMBER.

I HOPE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THOSE.

I ATTENDED AN ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING WHERE MRS. DEARNLEY INFORMED US THAT THE SEPTIC SYSTEM WAS SHOT IN IN THIS PROPERTY, AND HER COMMENTS WERE THAT THEY WANTED TO ADD THESE ADDITIONAL THREE NOW TWO HOMES TO THAT PROPERTY TO OFFSET THE COST OF ADDING COUNTY SEWER TO IT.

THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE SEPTIC SYSTEM, REPLACE IT, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I TOOK HER VERBATIM AT THAT POINT, BUT SINCE THEN HAVE BEEN DOING SOME INVESTIGATION AND THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE SEPTIC SYSTEMS THAT COULD BE HAD.

AND THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THAT ADDING THE ADDITIONAL HOMES IS MORE A RESULT OF THE HOMES NEED THE SEWER SYSTEM RATHER THAN THE PROPERTY THAT'S EXISTING NEEDS THE SEWER SYSTEM. I ATTENDED THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

THERE WERE ADDITIONAL FOLKS THERE FROM SUBDIVISION THAT THE THAT YOUNGBLOOD PROPERTIES HAD DONE CALLED COVEY RUN, AND THEY WERE EXPRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT A PUBLIC PROPERTY IN THAT SUBDIVISION THAT YOUNGBLOOD PROPERTIES WAS SUPPOSED TO TURN OVER TO THE HOA AND DID NOT DO.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY.

ACCORDING TO THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, THEY TRIED TO SELL THAT PROPERTY.

NOW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE, WHAT WE WERE TOLD, SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIT DECEPTIVE.

AND IF WHAT THE MEMBERS OF COVEY RUN SAID, IT'S BEYOND DECEPTIVE AND MORE DISHONEST.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION, I BELIEVE, PICKED UP ON THAT, AND THAT WAS THEIR RECOMMENDATION NOT TO REZONE THIS PROPERTY.

WHEN I WAS AT THE BOARD OF MEETING, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING IN DECEMBER THIS CASE WAS DEFERRED UNTIL TODAY, BUT I STAYED AND LISTENED TO THE CASE ABOUT THE REZONING AT NUCKLES ROAD AND AROUND THE DUMP AT 295.

AND I WAS IMPRESSED HOW MISS ROUNDTREE WAS VERY EFFICIENT IN.

KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND THAT SORT OF THING. EVENTUALLY, THAT REZONING WAS DECLINED.

BUT WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS HER COMMENTS ABOUT THE BUILDER.

SHE WAS TELLING WHAT A NICE JOB THEY DID AND WHAT A GOOD COMPANY THEY WERE.

AND I WAS WONDERING IF THE SAME THINGS COULD BE SAID ABOUT YOUNGBLOOD PROPERTIES, IF ANY OF THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY WENT ON WITH THIS PROPERTY, ANY DECEPTION OR WITH THE PROPERTY AT COVEY RUN IS YOUNGBLOOD PROPERTIES.

IF ANY OF THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE.

IS YOUNGBLOOD PROPERTIES REALLY THE TYPE OF CONTRACTOR THAT HENRICO COUNTY SHOULD APPROVE AS A DEVELOPER ANYWHERE IN HENRICO COUNTY? AND I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS, SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, SIR. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TRUMBO AND I LIVE IN 10880 TAYLOR ROAD.

I WILL LIVE THERE IN 2012.

RIGHT NEXT TO THE HOUSE.

THE YOUNGBLOOD PLANS TO BUILD RIGHT NOW. IT'S THE HOUSE.

WHEN THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE.

THE HOUSE, THE SEPTIC SYSTEM.

AND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

THE PEOPLE LIVE THERE.

FINE. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEPTIC SYSTEM SINCE THEY BROUGHT IN THE SEPTIC SYSTEM A BREAK. AND NOW THEY WANT TO BUILD A TREE HOUSE SO THEY CAN.

HOPEFULLY THEY GET THE COST FROM BACK FROM THE ROAD THEY BUILD.

AND WE ASKED HER, I ASKING HER PERSONALLY.

I ASKED HIM, SAY WHAT? YOU ONLY ASK FOR PERMISSION FOR THAT TREE HOUSES.

WHAT ABOUT THE PIECE OF LAND BEHIND OF IT? HER ANSWER IS MY LAND.

I DO WHAT I WANT, JUST SIMPLE AS THAT.

JUST SO NOW THE SEPTIC IS HER HOUSE.

SHE DO WHAT SHE WANTS.

NOW, IF YOU BREAK THE SYSTEM, THE SEPTIC CHILDREN DON'T.

THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO HELP HER OUT TO PAY FOR THAT? SO FOR ME, IT'S I IT'S SOMETHING REALLY FREE TO LOOK AT IT.

SO I GET HOPEFULLY Y'ALL CAN LOOK AT IT AND YOU KNOW,

[00:40:02]

DENY ON IT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.

IS THERE ANYONE ONLINE TO SPEAK TO THIS PUBLIC HEARING ITEM? THERE'S NO ONE TO SPEAK ON WEBEX.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. SMITH.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MR. EMERSON, THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION ON THIS. I JUST WANT TO SUMMARIZE A FEW POINTS SINCE THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A UNIQUE CASE, RIGHT.

SO IT FOR BOTH THE APPLICANT'S PURPOSES AND FOR THE FOLKS, THE RESIDENTS WHO CAME OUT TODAY. AND OF COURSE, ANYONE DIALED IN THIS CASE WAS PRESENTED WITH A REQUEST TO REZONE TO R TO A C, CREATING FOUR LOTS ON THE PROPERTY.

13 RESIDENTS SHOWED UP TO A MEETING IN OCTOBER, EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERNS WITH CONSISTENCY AND SOME OF THE SAME THINGS WE HEARD TONIGHT.

WHEN IT CAME TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, PLANNING COMMISSION DENIED THE REQUEST FOR R TWO AC. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE APPLICANT REACHED OUT TO PLANNING STAFF AND IN MY OFFICE AND ASKED FOR A MEETING TO DISCUSS THE CASE.

WE MET IN YOUR CONFERENCE ROOM JUST A WEEK OR SO, TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS AGO. 2 OR 3 WEEKS AGO. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YES, SIR. AND UNDERSTOOD. LISTENED AND HEARD THEIR.

THEIR PLAN AND DESIRE SHARED BOTH PLANNING STAFF'S CONCERNS AND MY CONCERNS WITH PARTICULARLY THE PARCEL BEHIND THIS PARTICULAR LOT TO ESTABLISH SOME CONSISTENCY.

WE'LL GET TO THAT IN A SECOND.

BUT SINCE THEN THE APPLICANT HAS COME BACK, REVISED THE REQUEST TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISION ACROSS THE STREET BACK TO C AND HAS VOLUNTEERED PROFFERS TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED OTHERWISE.

IS THAT ALL ACCURATE? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S CAUGHT UP ON THIS WEIRD TRAIL THAT HAS BEEN TO GET TO THIS PARTICULAR SPOT.

A COUPLE THINGS JUST TO CONFIRM.

MR.. MR. EMERSON, THE COMP PLAN, THE 2026 COMP PLAN DESIGNATES THIS AS SR ONE, NOT TO EXCEED 2.4 UNITS AN ACRE.

THE ORIGINAL REQUEST OF R2AC WOULD HAVE FIT IN THAT AT 169.

YES, SIR. IT WOULD HAVE FIT IN THE COMP PLAN. YES, SIR. THIS SLIMMED DOWN PLAN TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES CLEARLY FITS IN THAT PLAN.

AT 12127. YEAH, RIGHT.

PER ACRE IT WOULD IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE IF I DID THE MATH CORRECTLY.

UNDER THE COMP PLAN DENSITY RECOMMENDATION, FIVE UNITS WOULD BE 2.12 UNITS AN ACRE IN THAT IN THAT ROOM. I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT, MR. EMERSON, THAT WHILE THIS WAS DEFERRED FOR TWO MONTHS OF THE DECEMBER MEETING AND BROUGHT BACK TO US TODAY AT THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IN ORDER TO HAVE TIME TO MEET AND DISCUSS.

SINCE THEN, AGAIN, THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REVISED CONCEPT PLAN WITH VOLUNTARY PROFFERS TO REDUCE THE PROPOSED DENSITY FROM 4 TO 3, AND RETAINED THE PROPOSED QUALITY COMMITMENTS.

YES, SIR. WHICH THEY DID NOT HAVE TO.

THOSE. THOSE ARE THEIR VOLUNTARY PROFFERS SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. YES, SIR. AND A COUPLE OF THOSE, JUST FOR CLARITY, INCLUDE THAT NO MORE THAN THREE RESIDENTIAL LOTS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED.

THE ONE EXISTING HOME, PLUS TWO MORE IN THE REAR.

THAT'S CORRECT. YES, SIR.

REMOVING THE FOURTH. YES, SIR.

THE CUL DE SAC TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE REAR LOT.

AGAIN, WE'LL GET TO. THAT WILL BE TEMPORARY UNTIL THAT LOT IS DEVELOPED.

THIS INTERESTING ONE. IT WAS BROUGHT UP BY ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN WHO WAS HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE SEPTIC. ACTUALLY, IT WAS BROUGHT UP BY BOTH.

THE LOTS MUST BE SERVED BY PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER SERVICES.

WATER RUNS RIGHT DOWN THE FRONT OF IT, CORRECT? YES, SIR. IT DOES. AND SEWER WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT TO THE PROPERTY AT THE APPLICANT'S EXPENSE. YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT.

AND I'VE GOT THAT. IT IS 2300FT OF OFF SITE EXTENSION, EIGHT INCH SANITARY SEWER LINE TO REACH THE PROPERTY.

SO THE CONCEPT IS OF COURSE, THE ADDITIONAL LOTS DO ASSIST IN OFFSETTING THE COST OF EXTENDING THAT SEWER AND BY THE APPLICANT AT THEIR OWN COST.

EXTENDING THE SEWER DOWN THIS CUL DE SAC SETS UP FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE REAR, WHICH WOULD BE THEIR OPTION TO EITHER CONTINUE THAT WATER SEWER LINE.

IT DOES, ALTHOUGH SOME OF THAT AREA IS, AS YOU'RE AWARE, IS SERVICED FROM A DIFFERENT SEWER SHED.

SO IT HAS TO IT HAS TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION COMING OFF FROM MOUNTAIN ROAD TOWARDS STAPLES. ALSO VOLUNTARILY PROFFERED WERE THAT THE.

THE DWELLINGS WOULDN'T BE ON SLAB GRADE. THE FOUNDATION WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED USING BRICK, STONE, BRICK OR STONE OR CULTURE MATERIAL.

YES, SIR. MINIMUM HOME SIZE 2300FT², EXCLUDING THE GARAGE.

AND THE PROVISION EXCLUDES THE EXISTING HOME.

OF COURSE. CORRECT. YES, SIR.

AND THEN NO CONSTRUCTION ON SUNDAYS.

SO ALL THESE ARE PROFFERED CONDITIONS.

[00:45:04]

IN SPEAKING WITH THE THE SPEAKING TO THE RESIDENTS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SEPTIC.

YOU KNOW, I WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP.

THAT. NO, SIR. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU WENT.

THAT THE COUNTY WAS NOT IS NOT PAYING, DOES NOT PAY.

CORRECT. MR. EMERSON, THE COUNTY IS NOT PAYING FOR SEPTIC REPAIR AT THIS PROPERTY. NO, SIR, WE ARE NOT.

AND THE COUNTY IS NOT PAYING FOR THE SEWER RUN TO BE RUN TO THIS PROPERTY.

THAT'S CORRECT. WE ARE NOT.

CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE QUESTION ABOUT COVEY RUN WITH REGARD TO THAT BMP? WELL, THE BMP HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THAT HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AT THIS POINT.

THE DEVELOPER HAD RETAINED OWNERSHIP OF THAT WHEN THEY DEVELOPED THE PROPERTY, WHICH WAS CERTAINLY WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS.

HOWEVER, I IN THE HOPES OF DEVELOPING PROPERTY IN THE AREA, I BELIEVE THEY RETAINED IT, BUT THEY DID.

AFTER. AFTER DISCUSSION, I MOVED FORWARD AND TRANSFER THAT PROPERTY, AS HAVE BEEN COMMITTED IN THE IN THE COVENANTS TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION.

SO THAT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

AND TO ANSWER THE RESIDENTS QUESTIONS AGAIN TONIGHT, BECAUSE I WANT TO SPEAK TO ALL THEIR CONCERNS. THE SEPTIC SYSTEM FAILING AND THE COUNTY PAYING FOR THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION.

CERTAINLY THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS, BUT THE HOMEOWNER HAS THE RIGHT TO BRING IN AND PAY FOR SEWER IF THEY WANT IT.

THE COVEY RUN THING YOU JUST ADDRESSED, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE PROFFERED CONDITIONS WITH REGARD TO THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL OF RESIDENTS THAT THEY HAVE TO ADHERE TO THESE PROPER CONDITIONS? WHAT IS THE PLANNING? WHAT IS YOUR PLANNING STAFF HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THESE PROPER CONDITIONS ARE MET.

WELL, WE WILL WE WILL MONITOR THROUGH THE PERMIT CENTER WILL MONITOR THE BUILDING PERMITS. WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY'LL BE COMPARED BACK TO THE PROFFERS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY MEET ALL THE ALL THE CRITERIA, THE PROFFERS. IF THEY DON'T, THOSE PERMITS WILL BE DENIED UNTIL SUCH A TIME THAT. THAT THEY WERE BROUGHT UP TO THE STANDARDS OF THE PROFFERS, OR THE OTHER OPTION WOULD BE THE PROPERTY OWNER COULD COME FORWARD AND ASK FOR REVISION TO THE PROFFERS, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS VERY SAME PROCESS.

EVERYBODY WOULD BE NOTIFIED, PUBLIC HEARINGS WOULD BE HELD AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE BOARD LEVEL.

NORMALLY, AS YOU NOTED, THE BOARD AND PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO ASKED FOR COMMUNITY MEETINGS WITH THESE CASES, AND PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE TO ATTEND AND VOICE THEIR CONCERNS, WHICH IN THIS CASE, I BELIEVE ROUGHLY 13 PEOPLE DID ATTEND AND CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY COULD BE WITHHELD BY THE COUNTY AND BY THE PLANNING. IF IT IF FOR SOME REASON THAT IT'S NOT BUILT ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.

AT THE END, WHEN IT'S INSPECTED, THE CEO WILL BE HELD.

UNTIL SUCH TIME, IT'S BROUGHT UP TO STANDARDS.

THE CUL DE SAC WILL BE PRIVATE, BE MAINTAINED PRIVATE.

OR IS THAT WILL THAT BECOME A PUBLIC ROAD AND THAT WILL BE A PUBLIC ROAD, I BELIEVE UP TO THE POINT OF THE TEMPORARY CUL DE SAC.

AND AND THEN AFTER THAT, A ROAD GOING TO THE PROPERTY OF THE REAR, DEPENDING UPON HOW IT'S DEVELOPED, MAY OR MAY NOT COME INTO THE PUBLIC SYSTEM.

THAT HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED.

THANK YOU, MR. EMERSON. SO FOLKS IN THE AUDIENCE, FOLKS WHO ARE TUNED IN, CERTAINLY THE APPLICANT FOR YOUR INFORMATION HERE ARE THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT THAT, THAT MYSELF AND BOTH MY PLANNING COMMISSIONERS WENT THROUGH IN THIS, BOTH THE 2025 PLANNING COMMISSIONER AND THE EXISTING 2026 PLANNING COMMISSIONER.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME INTENTIONAL AWARENESS AND FOCUS THAT WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT ONE POINT OR TWO POINT 2.35, SIX ACRES IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THIS IS THE ACCESS POINT TO A MUCH LARGER PARCEL.

MR. EMERSON, YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT RIGHT THERE ON THE MAP.

THAT BACK PARCEL IS OWNED BY THE SAME FOLKS THAT ARE THE SAME FOLKS THAT ARE THE APPLICANT HERE IN THIS CASE, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. YES, SIR.

SO I WANT TO BE REAL CLEAR TO BOTH THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE HERE AND TO THE APPLICANT.

AND WE MA'AM AND SIR, WE SPOKE DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS, SO I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE OF IT, THE INTENTIONAL AWARENESS BY MYSELF, MY PLANNING COMMISSIONER IN THIS COUNTY TO FOCUS ON LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE REAR PARCEL IS REMARKABLY IMPORTANT, NOT ONLY FOR THE APPLICANT AND THE LANDOWNER TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE COUNTY'S DESIRES AND WHAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE BACK THERE, BUT ALSO TO PROTECT THE RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA, NOT ONLY THE ONES IN ADJACENT PROPERTIES WHO ARE BOTH HERE TODAY, BUT ALSO THE ONES ACROSS THE STREET THAT ARE IN AN EXISTING R2C NEIGHBORHOOD.

QUITE FRANKLY, R2AC THE INITIAL REQUEST IN MY OPINION, WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE STREET, NOR WAS IT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I THOUGHT LONG TERM COULD BE CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE IN THE REAR LOT. THEREFORE, THE APPLICANT SENSIBLE ADJUSTMENT TO THIS REQUEST TO REMAIN CONSISTENT AT THE R2 C LEVEL, WHICH WOULD MIRROR THE MEADOW FARM NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE STREET.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.

THAT'S CORRECT. THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION IN OUR MEETING, AND I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE HERE ALSO ABOUT Y R2 A C IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA MIGHT NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR DIDN'T MEET WITH MY MY EXPECTATION FOR CONSISTENCY, BECAUSE THERE IS R2 A C ON THE MAP RIGHT HERE,

[00:50:01]

RIGHT. THE PAGE BEFORE THAT THERE'S R2 A C ALONG THE MOUNTAIN ROAD CORRIDOR.

YES, SIR. RIGHT HERE. BUT AGAIN, ONLY IN AREAS THAT TOUCH THE MOUNTAIN ROAD CORRIDOR NOT ATTACHED TO THESE BACK PARCELS ON TAYLOR ROAD.

YES, SIR. NOR WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE, IN MY OPINION.

IN THE BACK. IN THE BACK, REAR BACK.

REAR AREA. SO IN CLOSING, I'LL JUST SAY TO THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE HERE, BOTH OF BOTH OF YOU AND THE OTHER 11 THAT SPOKE AT THE OCTOBER MEETING, YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT DENSITY WERE VALID.

YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT PAST HISTORY, I THINK, HAVE BEEN HOPEFULLY MILDLY PUT AT REST FOR YOU TODAY WITH REGARD TO THE BMP TRANSACTION AT COVEY RUN BEING HANDLED AND THE PROFFERED VOLUNTARY CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE THE APPLICANT TO BUILD THE QUALITY HOMES THAT WE EXPECT. AND ALSO, I WILL ADD THAT THESE HOMES WILL HAVE WATER AND COUNTY WATER AND SEWER, WHICH CERTAINLY I AM AN ADVOCATE ADVOCATE OF.

EXACTLY FOR THE REASON OF THE FAILURE OF THE SEPTIC.

I DON'T WANT ANY RESIDENTS, I WANT TO PUBLICLY COMMEND BENTLEY IF HE'S IN THE ROOM AND HIS STAFF WITH DP YOU FOR THE WORK THEY'VE DONE IN TRYING TO GET WATER AND SEWER TO EVERY COUNTY RESIDENT WHO DESIRES IT.

SO THOSE ARE THE CONCERNS AND CONSIDERATIONS THAT WERE HERE PLANNING STAFF PUT IN A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, BOTH PLANNING COMMISSIONERS AND THE NEIGHBORS AS WELL. NOT ONLY FOR YOUR TIME HERE.

I, SIR, I KNOW YOU WERE AT THE LAST MEETING AS WELL, AND A AND A CASE BROUGHT TO ME TODAY.

I THINK THE APPLICANT KNOWS THIS AND THE RESIDENTS. I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO KNOW THIS. A CASE BROUGHT TO ME TODAY WITH AN R2AC REQUEST WOULD HAVE MET WITH DENIAL BECAUSE OF ITS INCONSISTENCY WITH THE NEIGHBORING JURISDICTION, NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISION ACROSS THE STREET, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR WHAT WOULD GO ON IN THAT LARGER LOT, WHICH I DO BELIEVE HAS SOME DEVELOPABLE PROPERTIES.

WHEN YOU COME IN ON THE RIGHT TOWARDS STAPLES MILL ROAD, WE KNOW IT'S WET TO THE LEFT.

SO, YOU KNOW, IN THAT REGARD, I THINK THE NEIGHBORS CONCERNS WERE HEARD.

THE LANDOWNER CERTAINLY AT THE SAME TIME STILL RETAINS THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP THEIR LAND AS THEY SEE FIT, YET FITS WITHIN THE COUNTY'S DESIRES IN 2026 COMP PLAN.

SO IN THIS CASE, I ACTUALLY WANT TO THANK THE APPLICANT FOR FOR COMING BACK TO THE R2C CATEGORY AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THE R2C CONVERSATION.

YES, SIR. I DIDN'T INTERRUPT YOU.

YEAH GO AHEAD. I JUST HAD A QUESTION.

YOU FINISHED THOUGH. SORRY. NO, NO, I'M ACTUALLY I'M ACTUALLY DONE.

I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE APPLICANT, BUT I ALSO WANT TO SPEAK TO THE TWO RESIDENTS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE THEY'RE DIRECT NEIGHBORS. AND I UNDERSTAND, PARTICULARLY ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THAT SPOKE TONIGHT.

THEY BOTH LIVE ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

ONE OF THEM ACQUIRED THAT PROPERTY FROM THE APPLICANT.

SO IT'S IT IS KNOWN THAT THIS PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, WAS THERE AND THAT THE DEVELOPER LAND BEHIND IT WAS THERE.

CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO DISCREDIT ANY OF THE CLAIMS OF DECEPTION OR DISHONESTY, BUT THE LAND WAS PURCHASED FROM THE APPLICANT.

THERE'S A CLOSER TIE THERE THAN THAN NORMALLY WOULD EXIST, MISTER ROGERS. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF.

WELL, ONE COMMENT, I GUESS, AND IT KIND OF GOES TO THE RESIDENT.

WE HAVE HAD, I THINK, TWO RESIDENTS BRING FORWARD COMMENTS ON THIS PARTICULAR BUILDER. SO I GUESS JUST IN, IN THAT'S IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

AND IT IS TRUE THAT THE SECOND ONE ON THE COVEY RUN WAS RECENTLY RESOLVED.

SO THAT, THAT WE HAVE THAT ONE TAKEN CARE OF.

BUT AGAIN, I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE STAFF TO KEEP AN EYE ON THESE PROFFERS, PLEASE. GIVEN THAT, HOW MANY ADDITIONAL UNITS ARE WE TALKING ON THAT ONE PROPERTY ON THE WEST, IF ASSUMING IT'S ZONED THE SAME, IT DEPENDS.

THE SEWER FALLS IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

BUT IF IT WELL, IF EVEN IF IT WERE ZONED AS R-2, YOU'D HAVE TO YOU'D PROBABLY HAVE TO COME IN WITH SEPTIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S VIABLE TO PURCHASE AN EASEMENT AND THEN RUN A SEWER LINE, THE DISTANCE IT WOULD HAVE TO RUN TO SERVE THAT PROPERTY WOULD BE QUESTIONABLE.

SO THEN YOU. THEN YOU GET INTO THE.

THE LAND IS SOMEWHAT ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSTRAINED.

HOW MUCH AREA WOULD YOU HAVE TO HAVE FOR A SEPTIC SYSTEM? SO THE ZONING ASIDE, I THINK IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE UTILITIES BACK INTO THAT AREA IN SOME FORM, YOU WOULD YOU WOULD BE LOOKING AT 5 OR 6 LOTS AT THE MOST.

AND WILL THE WILL THIS EXTENSION OF SEWAGE FOR THESE HOMES, WILL THAT HELP ANY EXISTING RESIDENTS ON TAYLOR ROAD? IT CERTAINLY WOULD BRING IT CLOSER TO SOME OF SOME OF THOSE THAT AREN'T SERVED BY THAT AREN'T SERVED CURRENTLY.

AND I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION, MR. EMMERSON, AND THIS IS JUST PROCEDURAL.

WHY DOESN'T THIS GO BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION?

[00:55:01]

ARE THERE ARE THE CHANGES NOT SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH, OR DO THEY NEVER HAVE TO GO BACK WITH CHANGES? YOU CAN SEND CASES BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

IN THIS CASE IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO RE-ADVERTISE IT BECAUSE IT IS A LESS DENSE PROPOSAL. IF YOU WERE TO INCREASE DENSITY, YOU AUTOMATICALLY HAVE TO GO BACK AND ADVERTISE. COMMISSIONS ALREADY HELD THEIR PUBLIC HEARING.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT REQUIRES THE GOVERNING BODY TO SEND IT BACK TO THE COMMISSION.

THAT'S NORMALLY A CHOICE THAT YOU MAKE.

IN THIS CASE, I BELIEVE I YOU'RE JUSTIFIED IN NOT SENDING IT BACK BECAUSE IT'S LESS DENSE, AND IT REALLY IS ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

HAD THE COMMISSION SEEN THIS CASE, I FEEL COMFORTABLE THEY PROBABLY WOULD WOULD HAVE FOUND IT MUCH MORE FAVORABLE THAN THAN THEY DID THE PREVIOUS ONE.

RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SIR. TWO GOOD TWO GOOD POINTS THERE, MISTER ROGERS. ESPECIALLY THE SECOND ONE ABOUT THE ZONING SETTING IT, NOT SENDING IT BACK.

IN THIS CASE THEY JUST DOWN ZONED IS THE CATEGORY, RIGHT? YES. IS THE CONSIDERATION.

AND MY PLANNING COMMISSION AND I, WHEN WE MET WITH THE APPLICANT, THIS WAS THIS. IT WAS A DISCUSSED PATHWAY FORWARD TO BOTH MEET RESIDENT CONCERNS, MEET MY CONCERNS, AND CERTAINLY MEET STAFF'S CONCERNS.

REVEREND NELSON, MISS ROUNDTREE, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ON ALL THOSE NOTES.

AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK PLANNING STAFF. I WANT TO THANK THE RESIDENTS FOR YOUR INPUT. YOU CERTAINLY YOU HAD IMPACT AND YOU CHANGED THE CASE.

I WILL SAY THAT THE ONLY WAY THIS MET WITH APPROVAL HERE TODAY IS BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME AS THE NEIGHBORING SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD NEXT DOOR, WHICH WAS ZONED EXACTLY THE SAME AS R2C, AND SETTING US UP FOR FUTURE FUTURE LIMITS IN THE LOT IN THE BACK. SO MISTER, MISTER CHAIR, ON THAT NOTE, I MOVE THAT REZ 2025 102326 YOUNGBLOOD PROPERTIES BE APPROVED.

MR. EMERSON, IF THE WORDING IS CORRECT, MR. NEWBY, AS PROFFERED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU, MR. SMITH. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY MRS. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? SECOND BY MISS ROGERS.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? THE EYES HAVE IT.

THE MOTION IS APPROVED. MR.

[8b. 45-26 PUP-2025-102916 Tuckahoe Deep Run Roadhouse: Request for a Provisional Use Permit under Sections 24-2306 and 24-4423.F of Chapter 24 of the County Code to allow outdoor food preparation on Parcel 736-750-6388 located at the northwest intersection of John Rolfe Parkway and Ridgefield Parkway. The existing zoning is B-2C Business District (Conditional). The 2026 Comprehensive Plan recommends Commercial Concentration. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant the request. ]

CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. NEXT ITEM IS 45-26.

THIS IS IN THE TUCKAHOE DISTRICT WITH DEEP RUN ROAD HOUSE WITH A REQUEST FOR PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT UNDER CHAPTER 24 OF THE COUNTY CODE TO ALLOW OUTDOOR FOOD PREPARATION ON A PARCEL LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF JOHN ROLFE PARKWAY AND RIDGEFIELD PARKWAY.

MR. EMERSON THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AS NOTED BY THE MANAGER OF THIS PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT, IS A REQUEST TO ALLOW OUTDOOR FOOD PREPARATION AT A PROPOSED DEEP RUN ROADHOUSE LOCATED ON A PARCEL OF THE JOHN ROLFE SHOPPING CENTER, WHICH FORMERLY HOUSED A WENDY'S FAST FOOD RESTAURANT.

THE SITE IS ZONED B2C BUSINESS DISTRICT, WHICH REQUIRES A PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OUTDOOR FOOD PREPARATION.

THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT AND OUTDOOR ACCESSORY DINING ARE ALLOWED.

USES. ADJACENT USES IN THE GENERAL SHOPPING CENTER INCLUDE PUBLIX TWIST GYMNASTICS AND WEST END CROSSFIT. SOUTH OF JOHN ROLFE PARKWAY ARE OUR OFFICE BUILDINGS AND TO THE SOUTHEAST, ACROSS THE INTERSECTION OF JOHN ROLFE PARKWAY AND RIDGEFIELD PARKWAY IS THE RURAL FIELD SUBDIVISION, AND THE CLOSEST RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE IS APPROXIMATELY 450FT AWAY.

THE PROPOSED OUTDOOR COOKING AREA WOULD BE LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE WESTERN BUILDING FACADE SHOWN IN THIS EXHIBIT.

THE OUTDOOR COOKING AREA WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 350FT² WITH TWO SMOKERS.

AT LEAST ONE SMOKER WOULD BE RUNNING APPROXIMATELY 19 HOURS PER DAY FROM 4 P.M.

TO 11 A.M. A SIX FOOT ALUMINUM PRIVACY FENCE WITH A GATE WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED TO SHIELD THE THE COOKER. AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN.

WHERE IS MY SITE PLAN? HERE WE GO. HERE'S YOUR ALUMINUM FENCE THAT WOULD SHIELD THE COOKERS.

AND IT'S SIX FEET TALL, ALUMINUM SLATTED.

SO IT WOULD IT WOULD DO AN EFFECTIVE JOB OF OF MITIGATING THOSE VISUAL IMPACTS.

TO MITIGATE POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THIS USE, STAFF HAS PROPOSED NINE CONDITIONS.

THESE INCLUDE LIMITATIONS ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SMOKERS, SCREENING OF FUEL AND WOOD, AND A PROHIBITION ON OUTDOOR SPEAKERS AND SOUND SYSTEMS TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY WITH THE EXISTING SHOPPING CENTER.

[01:00:02]

CONDITION NUMBER FOUR PROVIDES THE BUILDING FACADE AND PROPOSED OUTDOOR COOKING AREA MUST BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE SAME COLOR, MATERIALS AND STYLE AS THE EXISTING STRUCTURES. THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COVENANTS ON THE PROPERTY AND IN THE CODE, BUT WE STILL LIKE TO PLACE THAT CONDITION TO MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR TO THE APPLICANTS.

THAT'S PRETTY STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR THE COUNTY TO HAVE MATERIALS MATCHING WHEN WHEN STRUCTURES ARE ALTERED THIS WAY.

THE APPLICANT HELD A COMMUNITY MEETING ON JANUARY 8TH.

HOWEVER, NO RESIDENTS ATTENDED THIS MEETING.

THE 2026 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDS COMMERCIAL CONCENTRATION FOR THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS REQUEST IS NOT ANTICIPATED TO HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON THE SURROUNDING AREA AND, IF PROPERLY CONDITIONED, WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH COMMERCIAL CONCENTRATION DESIGNATION AND SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL USES.

STAFF SUPPORTS THIS REQUEST SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONCURRED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR JANUARY 15TH MEETING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TRY AND ANSWER THEM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. EMERSON. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

ARE THERE ANY PERSONS PRESENT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT ONLINE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? THERE'S NO ONE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MADAM.

ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIR. MR. EMERSON. THE TWO BUSINESSES SORT OF CO-LOCATED.

THERE IS A GYMNASTICS, I THINK, AND MAYBE A CROSSFIT.

NEITHER HAVE OBJECTED TO HAVING THE SMELL OF BARBECUE.

WE'VE WE'VE HAD WE'VE HAD NO COMMENTS ON IT.

NO COMMENTS. AND CAN YOU REFRESH MY MEMORY? THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS FROM THESE NEIGHBORS ON THE CAR WASH IN YEARS PAST.

IS THAT CORRECT? THERE WERE MANY COMMENTS.

THESE NEIGHBORS ARE IN TUNE WITH WHAT IS GOING ON.

THEY'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THIS.

YES, SIR. WE'VE WE'VE TRIED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL BLEND IN BETTER THAN THAN THE WENDY'S CURRENTLY DOES WITH SHOPPING CENTER.

AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE BARBECUE FROM THIS OPERATION IS FAIRLY POPULAR.

IT IS. PEOPLE LIKE IT.

IT WILL BE A MILE CLOSER TO MY HOUSE, SO THIS WILL BE GOOD.

MISTER CHAIR, WITH THAT, I MOVE THAT WE FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I'M SORRY.

I GOT TO GET MY COLLEAGUES. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

THE FIRST BRISKET IS ON YOU, BROTHER.

COLLEAGUES, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR MR. EMERSON? MISTER ROGERS, IS THERE A MOTION, SIR? THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THAT WE FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND APPROVE. PEP20 2510 2916 DEEP RUN ROADHOUSE WITH A RECOMMENDATION.

THANK YOU. MISS RHODES. BEEN MOVED PROPERLY, RIGHT. I SECOND BOTH THE MOTION AND THE NOTION ABOUT THE BRISKET BEING ON MISTER ROGERS.

THANK YOU. ALL IN FAVOR OF HE BUYING US FIRST BRISKET AND THE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM? IF SO, SAY AYE. AYE. THOSE APPROVED.

OUR AYES HAVE IT. THE MOTION IS CARRIED.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. THE ITEM IS APPROVED.

MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU MOVE INTO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[10. PUBLIC COMMENTS ]

WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.

AGAIN, THE BOARD DOES ASK THAT YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND RECORD, NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THAT YOU LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO A FIVE MINUTE TIME PERIOD? I SEE MISS JENNIFER LIEBERMAN.

MR. LIEBERMAN. HI, MY NAME IS JENNIFER LIEBERMAN.

FIRST, I WANT TO SAY THAT I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY REGARDING VERN, AS THE COUNTY DID THE BEST FOR AN AREA LIKE OURS COULD DO.

YOU KNOW, AFTER MY PREVIOUS SPEECH, I DIDN'T THINK THAT I NEEDED TO GIVE YET ANOTHER SPEECH ON THE SAME THING.

GIVEN THAT I FEEL AS IF I PUT SUCH AN UNBRIDLED DESIRE FOR A VIBRANT YET UNRAVELED FORM OF COMMUNITY BASED POLITICS IN WHAT I WRITE ABOUT.

BUT AFTER THE LAST BOARD MEETING THAT I DIDN'T ATTEND, I HAVE TO WONDER WHAT THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IS, AS I'VE NEVER HEARD EXISTENTIAL FORMS OF CHANGE, JUST PIECEMEAL TO APPEASE THE MASSES.

ANYHOW, I SUPPOSE THAT I NEED TO TALK MORE ABOUT ECONOMICS AS YOU ALL PROCLAIM THAT THIS IS WAS THE YEAR OF EDUCATION OR WHATEVER MONTH AGO.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE ECONOMIC DATA, THERE IS A CORRELATION WITH POVERTY AND TO NAME JUST A FEW ISSUES, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH, FOOD CONSUMPTION OF BOTH TOO MUCH AND NOT ENOUGH, AND POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT.

CHILDREN ON THE LOWER END OF THE ROPE WILL BE MORE LIKELY NOT TO GET ENOUGH FOOD AT HOME, SPEND MORE TIME AT DOING AN EDUCATIONAL THINGS, SAY VIDEO GAMES OR SCREEN TIME, AND SPEND LESS TIME WITH THEIR PARENTS AS THEY ARE WORKING MORE AND DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY TO BE WITH THEIR KIDS AS MUCH AS THEY WOULD LIKE. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT CHILDREN WHO HAVE PARENTS WHO DON'T MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE ISSUES WITH PAYING ATTENTION IN SCHOOL, SOCIALIZATION PROBLEMS, BAD GRADES, AND JUST A WORSE QUALITY OF LIFE.

IT STARTS EARLY ON, AND WITH THE FAILURE OF THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND TRASH THAT CAME OUT WITH GOVERNMENT. CHILDREN ARE STATISTICALLY MORE LIKELY TO BE PASSED ON THAN YEARS PRIOR TO THAT, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT FEDERAL DOLLARS.

MORE THAN ANYTHING, WHEN CHILDREN ARE NOT GETTING THEIR NEEDS MET, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO LASH OUT OR IN CLASS OR FALL ASLEEP, AMONGST MANY OTHER UNDESIRABLE ASPECTS.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD GETS PASSED ON AND DOESN'T HAVE THE ENVIRONMENT TO THRIVE? THEY EVENTUALLY GET TO A POINT WHERE THEY STRUGGLE SO THAT SO MUCH THAT THEY HIT A BRICK WALL AND LEAVE SCHOOL, WHETHER IT BE BY INACTION OF THE SCHOOL OR BY THE PENAL CODE. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD DROPS OUT? THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE LED TO A PATH OF CRIME, A WORSE QUALITY OF LIFE THAN THEIR PARENTS, OR HAVE A LIFE WITHOUT A STRONG ATTACHMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. AND THE PROBABILITY OF THEM BEING AN INFORMED CITIZEN IS NOT IN THEIR FAVOR. YOU MAY ASK WHY? WHY DO I BRING ALL OF THIS UP AT A BOARD MEETING.

OF ALL THINGS, I BRING IT UP AS I'VE ONLY EVER HEARD LONG TERM ECONOMIC GROWTH THAT IS TIED TO EITHER BIG BUSINESS OR BIG NONPROFIT THAT COMES IN WIELDING A SWORD, READY TO PIERCE THE VEIL OF THE ILLUSORY OF TRUST THAT HOLDS OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

WHETHER IT BE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT GO AWAY AS YOU FOLLOW THE WAY OF REAGAN WITH DISREGARDING A MORE ABSTRACT FORM OF THE ROBINSON-PATMAN ACT OR THE HYPER EXPANSIONISM THAT YOU ALLOW THAT LOWERS EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES AND RAISES TRAFFIC DEATHS.

IT IS CLEAR THAT THE ROLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS TO SAY YES TO THE WEALTHIEST, AND TO SAY NO TO UNCONVENTIONAL WAYS OF SPROUTING COUNTY BASED ECONOMIC INITIATIVES THAT ACTUALLY BENEFIT THE MAJORITY.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT I NEVER TRIED TO ASSERT THAT YOU ALL DON'T CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITIES THAT YOU SERVE.

I THINK THAT YOU ARE MISALIGNED IN HOW YOU APPROACH GOVERNMENT AS YOU MAKE AROUND 33% MORE THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON IN HENRICO COUNTY FROM JUST THE SUPER PER SUPERVISOR POSITION ALONE. I HAVE EVEN TRIED TO HELP YOU BY GIVING YOU ALL FACETS OF IDEAS ON WHAT YOU ALL COULD DO TO HELP YOUR COMMUNITY THRIVE MORE THAN THEY CURRENTLY DO.

[01:10:05]

SAY HOW? I ALLUDED TO THE IDEA OF HAVING SUICIDE PREVENTION PROGRAMS AT ROSS SHIRE TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE THAT MONSTROSITY DOES TO OUR COMMUNITY, OR BY BUILDING CONDO BUILDINGS MANAGED BY THE COUNTY.

FOR THE 46% OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT MARRIED, WHO WANT TO OWN SOME FORM OF PROPERTY.

BUT I KEEP HEARING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE THE FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY TO DO ANYTHING WITH MY WORDS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOME SORT OF OBSTINATE FEALTY THAT HOLDS YOUR HANDS IN SUCH A BRUTAL STATE OF PURPOSE.

BUT THE CLEARING OF GOVERNMENT NECESSITIES IS ABHORRENTLY ABSOLUTE AS EACH VOTE IS CAST IN THIS CHAMBER. I ALSO HAVE TO WONDER AS TO WHY YOU ALL DON'T FEEL.

TEST SOME OF WHAT I PROVOKE.

IS IT BECAUSE I'M IN ALONE THAT YOU JUST DISMISS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY? OR IS IT THAT I HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH? LIKE BOILING A BUNCH OF DOCUMENT GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS, OR GONE DOOR TO DOOR TO GET SIGNATURES, TO HAVE AN ELECTION FOR A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE? BUT I DIGRESS.

SO I SUPPOSE WHAT I'M REALLY TRYING TO ASK TODAY, AND THIS IS NOT JUST TO YOU ALL, BUT ALSO TO THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF CHESTERFIELD, GOOCHLAND, HANOVER AND RICHMOND, IS THAT I'D LIKE YOU TO GO FUCK YOURSELF.

WOW. NEXT IS MR. RODNEY BAILEY.

MR. BAILEY, IF YOU WOULD GO TO THE.

ACTUALLY, SIR. COME ON UP.

RIGHT HERE. THERE YOU GO.

MY NAME IS RODNEY BAILEY, AND I WANT TO SAY HELLO TO ALL THE ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE. I'M NOT A VERY GOOD PUBLIC SPEAKER, AND I'M A LITTLE SOFT TALKING, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN HEAR ME, OKAY? CAN YOU HEAR YOU, SIR? I LIVE AT 1608 LANDOVER ROAD, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I GOT TO SAY THAT, BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY IN THE FAIRFIELD DISTRICT. YES, SIR. I WISH I COULD GET A POST OFFICE IN OUR AREA, BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.

ANYWAYS, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I'M.

I'M ONE OF THE STREETS THAT DIDN'T GET PLOWED.

AND I'M SURE I'M AMONGST MANY OTHERS IN THE COUNTY.

I'M NOT HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT NOT BEING A PROBLEM, BUT I DO HAVE A SUGGESTION.

THEY DID PLOW THE 1700 BLOCK AND THE 1800 BLOCK OF LANDOVER ROAD.

THEY DID PLOW PARLO AND FENWICK.

THE SUGGESTION I HAVE IS, WHEN THEY DO PLOW PAST THE STREET, THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PLOW, THAT THEY MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T BLOCK THE ENTRANCE WITH THE LEFTOVER FROM THE SNOWPLOW.

I STILL HAVE, WE STILL HAVE QUITE A BIT OF AT THE HEAD OF THE STREET, AND IT IS A SLIGHT INCLINE GOING UP.

THERE ARE 17 HOUSES ON THAT IN THAT BLOCK.

I'M PROBABLY THE OLDEST ONE ON THE BLOCK.

MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IS BLIND LADY ACROSS THE STREET HAS HAD BOTH HER HIPS AND HER KNEES REPLACED, SO SHE'S VERY UNSTABLE ON HER FEET TO START WITH JUST UP THE THREE HOUSES UP ACROSS THE STREET.

THE GENTLEMAN JUST ADDED AN ADDITION TO HIS HOUSE BECAUSE HE MOVED HIS MOTHER OR MOTHER IN LAW IN. AND SHE IS ELDERLY.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE BLOCK, BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A GENERAL IDEA WHO LIVES THERE.

BUT AGAIN, LIKE I SAY, IF THE ENTRANCE OF THE STREET WAS PLOWED AFTER THEY PLOWED THE MAIN ROAD, THEY WOULD JUST COME BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THAT LEFTOVER RESIDUE BLOCKING THE ROAD.

AND I'M SURE THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAD THE SAME CONDITION HAPPEN.

JUST MAKE SURE I CHECK MY NOTES HERE.

MR. BAILEY, I'M GETTING A QUESTION FROM MR. HUGHES, THIS IS LINDE OVER LINDE OVER RHODE ISLAND, OVER LANDOVER ROAD. THEY'RE CHECKING NOW.

YEAH. SO THAT'S BASICALLY ALL I HAD TO SAY.

I DO APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DID DO DURING THE DURING THIS TREMENDOUS STORM.

I'M FROM NEW ENGLAND, SO THIS WAS NOTHING TO ME.

BUT IT DOES MATTER TO US.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME AND JUST TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION THE NEXT TIME

[01:15:03]

SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, WHICH I HOPE IT DOESN'T.

WELL, IT DOES MATTER. THE NEIGHBORS THAT YOU MENTIONED WHO HAVE CERTAIN BARRIERS THAT MAY HAVE PREVENTED THEM FROM GETTING OUT OF THEIR HOUSE, THEIR STREETS. I'M SORRY. I'LL SAY THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.

MR. HUGHES IS IN THE BACK.

HE'S GOING TO GET YOUR INFORMATION.

SO ANYTIME SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS AGAIN, JUST REACH OUT TO ME AND WE'LL DEFINITELY TRY TO MAKE SURE THEY GET TAKEN CARE OF. I'LL GET A CARD FROM YOU.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING TO ME.

THANK YOU, MR. BAILEY. SORRY TO MAKE YOU WAIT SO LONG.

THAT'S OKAY. NO PROBLEM.

NEXT WE HAVE THOMAS GARDNER.

MR. GARDNER, ARE YOU HERE? ARE YOU ONLINE, MR. GARDNER? ALL RIGHT. HE'S NOT, SIR.

OKAY. AND THEN WE HAVE ERICH.

FRIEDA. MR. FRIEDA, ARE YOU HERE? ARE YOU ONLINE, SIR? HE IS NOT, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THIS EVENING? YES, SIR. IF YOU WOULD COME ON UP TO THE SAME MIC THAT MR. OH, WE'VE GOT OTHER FOLKS.

OKAY. LET'S LINE UP BACK THERE.

YOU CAN JUST COME TO THE MIC ONE AT A TIME, IF YOU WOULD.

GOOD EVENING. COUNTY MANAGER, CHAIR AND THE STAFF.

MY NAME IS RICHARD FLANAGAN.

I'M IN THE FAIRFIELD DISTRICT.

THE HONORABLE MR. ROSCOE COOPER JR.

TO SERVE THE SECOND AND THE SECOND.

THE THIRD. ALRIGHT, YOU CAN GET ME FOR THAT ONE.

MY NAME IS RICHARD FLANAGAN, AND I'M AT 7809 KALUA DRIVE IN THE FAIRFIELD DISTRICT. AND THE GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE A MINUTE A FEW MINUTES AGO ABOUT THE ICE CONDITION ON THE ROADS KIND OF TOOK A LITTLE OF MY THUNDER AWAY, BUT I WAS HERE BECAUSE A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE SENIORS, SOME OF THEM HAD OPERATIONS DURING THAT TIME THEY COULDN'T GET TO.

SOME PEOPLE FELL AND BROKE RIBS.

I HAD A CONCUSSION MYSELF.

A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED DURING THAT TIME WHERE YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET OUT.

THE ROADS WERE CLEAR ONCE YOU LEFT THE SUBDIVISIONS.

BUT WE HAD TO WAIT A WHILE, AND COMMUNICATION WAS GOOD, THOUGH. MR. HUGHES DID INFORM AS BEST HE COULD.

MOST OF EVERYONE THAT YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET TO YOU WHEN WE GET TO YOU.

AND THIS IS A EXTRAORDINARY SITUATION.

I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT THERE WAS ALSO A SITUATION THAT OCCURRED THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO GET INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

THEY HAD EQUIPMENT TO RUN THE ROADS.

THE BUSINESSES WERE OPEN, BUT THE CONSUMERS COULDN'T GET TO THE BUSINESSES. THE PEOPLE THAT HAD TO GO TO WORK HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO THOSE THINGS DID COME UP.

THERE WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS OF THE COUNTY TO GET THE ROADS CLEAR AND DO THE BEST THEY COULD. BUT THERE'S STILL SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT COULD BE MADE.

MY SECOND SUBJECT IS THIS.

IT'S ABOUT THE SUMMER CAMP.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE PAL SITUATION.

THE SUMMER CAMP FOR PAL, WHERE THE KIDS HAVE THE ORGANIZED, CONSTRUCTED ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITIES DURING THE SUMMER.

WELL, I HAVE GRANDKIDS, AND I HAVE OTHER KIDS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT FOR ONE YEAR, THEY WERE ABLE TO ATTEND.

BUT TWO YEARS AND COUNTING, THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH STAFF OR THERE'S NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES OR THERE'S NOT ENOUGH.

WHATEVER. OKAY. BUT IT'S NOT IT'S REALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT SOME KIDS WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES OR IT'S NOT AVAILABLE EVEN IF THE ECONOMICS IS THERE, WHICH IS A LOT, YOU HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO PAY TO BE A PART OF THESE CAMPS.

BUT WHEN YOU CALL THE FIRST DAY OF REGISTRATION AND THE LINES GO DOWN, AND WHEN THEY COME BACK UP AGAIN, ALL THE POSITIONS AND ALL THE REQUESTS ARE FULL. THERE'S NO OTHER SITUATION THERE.

[01:20:03]

AND THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT THESE KIDS ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND AND BE PART OF THE ACTIVITIES, WHICH ARE VERY WELL ORGANIZED.

BUT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES.

I TRY TO EXPLAIN TO LITTLE YOUNG KIDS THAT, HEY, YOU KNOW, YOU GOTTA JUST PLAY ON YOUR COMPUTERS, PLAY ON YOUR INTERNET, DO WHATEVER.

BUT ALL SUMMER LONG, YOU DON'T GET TO GO TO KINGS DOMINION.

YOU DON'T GO SWIMMING, YOU DON'T GET THIS.

YOU DON'T GET INTO THESE ACTIVITIES SIMPLY BECAUSE THE COUNTY HAS NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES.

THE FIRST TIME I SPOKE ON THIS WAS LAST YEAR AND BEFORE FEBRUARY THE 24TH, WHICH IS THE OPENING DAY OF REGISTRATION.

THIS IS THE OKAY, SO IF THE KIDS ARE PART OF AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, THEY GET FIRST DIBS. IF THEY ARE NOT PART OF AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, THEY HAVE TO WAIT TO MARCH TO REGISTER.

BY THIS TIME, EVERYTHING IS FULL.

SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE COULD DO TO LOOK INTO THAT SITUATION.

HAVE MORE KIDS, HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE A PART OF THE ACTIVITIES, ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES INSTEAD OF SITTING AT HOME ALL SUMMER, NOT READING, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT HAVING ANY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

THAT'S MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU FOR THE TIME, I APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS, MAYOR. NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO, MR. CHAIR. I THOUGHT WE LAST SUMMER, DIDN'T WE OFFER UP A FREE HENRICO? DIDN'T WE HAVE A PARKS AND REC? YES. SO RECREATION AND PARKS, I THINK THAT ALSO SUPPLEMENTS.

POWELL PROBABLY IS AT THE LARGEST.

I THINK THE POWER PROGRAM IS PROBABLY THE LARGEST.

IT'S BEEN IN THREE DIFFERENT SITES.

AND THEN I KNOW MRS. AND RIJINO HAS I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FREE SITES DURING THE SUMMER.

SO IT WAS JUST YEAH, JUST YEAH.

SO SO SO SO THE DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND REC IS TALKING TO YOU NOW.

THAT'S THE FIRST THING. BUT TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THAT, HAVE YOU SPOKEN WITH KENNY RAGLAN AT POWELL TO ASK ABOUT THAT SPECIFIC QUESTION IN REGARDS TO HOW THEY GOVERN THAT? BECAUSE I KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER SITE ADDED TO INCREASE CAPACITY.

OKAY. OH, WE CAN'T ALL THE KIDS THAT ARE REGISTERED AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT. SO WE'LL DEFINITELY OUR DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER IS WORKS WITH POWELL A LOT. SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE GET WITH HIM TO SEE ABOUT THAT, MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S EQUITABLE SPACE, IF YOU WILL, TO GIVE MORE SPACE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT BE A PART OF THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THERE A PLETHORA OF OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH PARKS AND REC DURING THE SUMMER. AND SO MRS RIJINO CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DO FUND PRCHAL PRETTY HEAVILY AS IT IS.

WE'RE BIG SUPPORTERS OF THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS THAT POWELL RUNS, NOT JUST THE SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM.

I'VE SENT MY BOYS TO THE POWELL PROGRAM AND HAD TO WAIT, YOU KNOW, AND HIT REFRESH, REFRESH TO TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT INTO.

IT'S A VERY POPULAR PROGRAM.

AND I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE COUNTY MANAGER EARLIER THIS YEAR ABOUT OTHER WAYS THAT AS A COUNTY, WE CAN THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX TO ASSIST WITH THE CRUSHING EXPENSE OF CHILD CARE FOR WORKING FOLKS AROUND THE COUNTY.

SO YOUR COMMENTS ARE VERY WELL NOTED.

WE WANT TO HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF OPTIONS FOR CHILD CARE.

THE PALACE, THE PAL PROGRAM IS IS EXCEPTIONAL.

AND WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO AS WELL.

SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE DO FUND SIGNIFICANTLY THE PAL PROGRAM, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS OPEN TO, YOU KNOW, THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTY. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

MY NAME IS PAUL MALMQUIST.

I LIVE AT 5406 RICHFIELD STREET IN FAIRFIELD DISTRICT FOR THE LAST 45 YEARS.

FIRST OFF, I GOT GOOD NEWS FOR Y'ALL.

I HEARD ON THE NEWS TONIGHT THAT IN HENRICO COUNTY WE ONLY HAD THREE MURDERS, AND I WISH TO CONGRATULATE CHIEF ENGLISH OVER THERE FOR THE WORK HE'S DONE TO LOWER THE CRIME RATE IN HENRICO COUNTY.

THANK YOU, CHIEF ENGLISH.

THANK YOU. CHIEF. SECOND POINT I FOUND THE EARLIER PERSON COMMENTED ABOUT ROSEDALE.

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. I MADE MORE MONEY ON MY GAMBLING AT ROSEDALE THAN I MADE FROM ALL OF

[01:25:05]

THE VIRGINIA LOTTERY GAMES.

SO I HAVE TO SUPPORT ROSEDALE FOR THAT REASON.

I KNOW IT WAS NOT LIKED EARLY ON, BUT IT GETS ITS MONEY AND I DID WELL.

THANK YOU. THIRD POINT BACK IN LIVING WHERE I'VE LIVED FOR ALL THESE YEARS, WE'VE SEEN BIG SNOWFALLS AND BACK OVER ON AN EASTERN HIGHLAND PARK.

EAST HIGHLAND PARK. I REMEMBER SNOWFALLS DURING THESE SNOWFALLS.

I REMEMBER DISTINCTLY COUNTY TRUCKS DRIVING AROUND TRYING TO PLOW THE ROADS, BUT THEY ALSO HAD CHAINS ON THE TIRES.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, HAS THE OPTION OR THE ABILITY TO USE CHAINS ON THE ROADS STILL ALLOWED IN HENRICO COUNTY, BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME HAVING THOSE CHAINS AROUND IN THOSE BIG TRUCKS WOULD HAVE BROKEN UP THE LOT, THE ICE, A LOT EASIER.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING I'M OVERLOOKING OR WHAT.

FINALLY, I WANT TO THANK THE US POSTAL SERVICE, ALL THE DOORDASH DRIVERS, ALL THE UPS AND FEDEX DRIVERS WHO SEEM TO GET DOWN THE ROADS. MY ROAD.

ESPECIALLY BEFORE A COUNTY TRUCK SHOWED UP AND ALSO WHERE MY OTHER RELATIVES LIVE.

I KNOW FOR A FACT WHY MY RELATIVES LIVES OVER NEAR MR. BAILEY. THERE IS YET TO BE A COUNTY TRUCK DOWN THERE, BUT YET THE MAIL HAS COME.

THE DOORDASH DRIVERS HAVE COME AND SO ON.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A DISCONNECT SOMEWHERE ON THE COMPLAINTS, BUT I'M WONDERING, WHY AREN'T CHAINS BEING USED ON THESE COUNTY TRUCKS TO BREAK UP THE ICE? BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE EXPEDITED THE REMOVAL OF THE ICE FROM THESE ROADS A LOT QUICKER THAN WAITING FOR THE SUN TO WARM UP.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DAVID.

OKAY. YES, SIR. I THINK WE'VE GOT ONE MORE.

IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, PLEASE.

HEY, THERE. HOW YOU DOING? MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER MALMQUIST.

I LIVE AT 5406 EDGEFIELD STREET.

SAME PLACE AS THAT GUY? YEAH. YOU ALL ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH. SO I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME RIGHTS VIOLATIONS THAT YOU'VE BEEN ENGAGING IN TONIGHT FOR 12 FULL CONSECUTIVE UNINTERRUPTED YEARS. AND IT'S NOT JUST ONE.

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE.

BUT IF YOU CAN'T EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE BIGGEST ONE THERE IS, THEN WHAT'S THE SENSE IN MENTIONING ALL THE OTHER DUE PROCESS VIOLATIONS, THE FAILURE TO ABIDE BY REASONABLE SEARCH AND SEIZURE PROTOCOLS AND WHATEVER? WHO CARES? YOU HAVE IGNORED THIS ONE FOR 12 YEARS.

IT'S BEEN TO THE SUPREME COURT AND BACK.

I SEE YOUR COUNTY ATTORNEY THERE IS CONSCIOUS AND AWAKE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY HE HASN'T BEEN DOING HIS JOB OR WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING TRACK OF THIS. I SAW I THINK THAT'S CHIEF ENGLISH OVER THERE.

SENT HIM A COUPLE EMAILS OVER THE YEARS, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH.

DIDN'T HEAR FROM HIM AT ALL.

I THINK THERE WAS A SOCIAL MEDIA GUY HERE EARLIER WHO SAID THERE'S STILL WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE. YEAH, I GUESS YOU COULD START BY READING FEDERAL COURT DECISIONS OUT OF THE NINTH CIRCUIT, NOT VIOLATING YOUR CONSTITUENTS RIGHTS EVERY DAY. YEAH, THAT'S THE HELL I'VE BEEN LIVING IN.

AND IT'S BEEN CRAFTED BY ALL OF YOU.

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE MOMENT I WAS WALKING OUTSIDE A LITTLE WHILE AGO BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING BEGAN. I SAW MORNING TO FLY INTO A WINDOW.

OF COURSE, HE DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS AN INVISIBLE BARRIER THERE, AND NEITHER DID I.

BETWEEN MYSELF AND MY RIGHTS, WHICH YOU'VE DENIED ME.

AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER TROUBLING THINGS, TOO, SUCH AS THE FACT THAT I SENT MR. NELSON EMAILS OVER THE YEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS THAT INITIATIVE FOR THE POLICE OVERSIGHT COMMISSION OR WHATEVER YOU CALLED IT BEFORE YOU THREW IT INTO THE TRASH. AND THEN WHAT ELSE DID YOU DO? WELL, NOTHING. BUT HE DID MESSAGE ME AT ONE POINT.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I STARTED POSTING ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT HOW HE'D HIT A CAR OR HIT A WOMAN WITH HIS CAR ON OSBORNE TURNPIKE, SAME PLACE SOMEONE HAD IN THE PAST AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIM. HE WAS CHARGED AND THE CHARGES MAGICALLY VANISHED BECAUSE IN HENRICO COUNTY, IF YOU HIT SOMEONE WITH A CAR AND DRIVE AWAY YOUR COUNTY SUPERVISOR, YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. AND I THINK YOU SHOULD CONGRATULATE YOUR LOCAL NEWS MEDIA AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY'RE RIGHT IN IT WITH YOU. THEY'VE REFUSED TO REPORT ON THIS FOR YEARS.

I'VE DOCUMENTED ALL OF IT.

THOUSANDS OF AUDIO RECORDINGS, VIDEO, WHATEVER.

DOESN'T MATTER. HOW MUCH DOES ONE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT WORTH ONE MAN'S LIFE? I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN SOCIALLY MURDERED BY YOU PEOPLE.

AND OF COURSE, IT'S A MERE TRIVIALITY. OH, NO, HE CAN'T POST ON FACEBOOK.

IT'S JUST ONE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.

BUT I THINK MR. NELSON ALSO HAD A HERO NAMED MARTIN LUTHER KING JR, WHO SAID SOMETHING SILLY, LIKE INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE. SO SCREW THAT GUY, RIGHT? BUT I'M DONE WITH IT BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE HAVE STOLEN ENOUGH OF MY LIFE FOR ME.

AND I DECIDED EARLIER TODAY THAT THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO WIN. AND THERE'S NO WAY TO WIN BY FIGHTING PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT THEY'RE DOING WRONG.

[01:30:04]

SO I'M JUST GOING TO FORGET ABOUT IT AND MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE AND ATTEMPT TO ENJOY SOME SEMBLANCE OF PEACE, WHICH I'LL HAVE TO GO AND SEEK ELSEWHERE. BUT EVEN THOUGH FROM TIME TO TIME I'LL THINK ABOUT THE HORRIBLE THINGS YOU PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO ME, AT LEAST I'LL GO AHEAD AND LET GO OF IT TONIGHT, KNOWING THAT I'VE DONE BETTER THAN YOU.

BECAUSE ANY TIME IN LIFE THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT BEING WRONG, I THOUGHT ABOUT MR. SMART.

HE HAD SOME PEOPLE FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION HERE.

I WAS A STUDENT AT HENRICO COUNTY SCHOOLS.

MR. SMART, WRITTEN, ILLUSTRATED BY YOURS TRULY.

LET'S JUST FLIP THROUGH THIS REAL QUICK. SEE, ONE DAY MISTER SMART TOLD THE WORLD HE WAS SO SMART THAT HE KNEW 150 PLUS 256.

BUT ONE DAY SOMEONE DID NOT BELIEVE HIM.

BUT MR. SMART SAID, YES, I AM OKAY.

PROVE IT, MR. SMART SAID.

GIVE ME A MATH TEST. THAT'S EASY.

20 PLUS 20 EQUALS 50. WRONG.

WHAT? YELLED MR. SMART.

THE ANSWER WAS 40. SO I GUESS I'M NOT SO SMART AFTER ALL.

1992. SECOND GRADE. I LEARNED TO ADMIT THAT I WAS WRONG.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN? I AGREE WITH THAT FIRST COMMENTER PRESCIENT REMARK, BUT I'LL HANG AROUND IN CASE THERE'S A CONSOLATION PRIZE FOR THIS BEING THE LAST TIME I HAVE TO SHOW UP HERE AND TELL YOU THAT I'M WRONG. NOTHING ABOUT IT. ALL RIGHT.

ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THIS EVENING? ANYONE ON WEBEX? YES, SIR.

I HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS ON WEBEX.

MR. ERIC FRITTER IS BACK, SO I WILL LET HIM GO FIRST.

OKAY. BUDDY. I LIVE MY NAME IS ERIC FRIEDA.

I LIVE AT SIX SEVEN, THREE, NINE WILBUR CIRCLE.

I WANT TO SAY IT'S IN THE BROOKLYN DISTRICT.

FIRST, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THE PALM.

JUST SHY OF THE PAST MONTH, OF ALL THE HARD WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE WITH THE WEATHER AND STUFF LIKE THAT I AM IN A, I AM AN EMERGENCY WORKER AND I WORK OUTSIDE OF THE, THE COUNTY LIMITS.

SO THE SNOW CAME ON A SATURDAY AND I HAD TO BE UP BRIGHT AND EARLY FOR WORK AT 230 IN THE MORNING ON MONDAY MORNING AND HAD TO UNFORTUNATELY TREK OUT IN IT.

AND I WANT TO SAY THAT THE.

THE COUNTY, FOR THE MOST PART, WAS DOING A PHENOMENAL JOB AT HITTING THOSE MAIN ROADS, AND VDOT WAS DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF HITTING THE INTERSTATES FOR THE MOST PART. I WORK IN NEWPORT NEWS, SO MY TRAVEL WAS QUITE A BIT.

BUT THAT BEING SAID, MY MY WIFE IS A NURSE AT ONE OF THE LOCAL HOSPITALS AND.

THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE NEXT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS WITH THE SCHOOL BEING OUT THAT CREATED A HUGE PROBLEM WITH US BECAUSE WE HAD TO TAKE OFF TIME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OUR CHILDREN COULDN'T GO INTO THE SCHOOLS AND STARTED TO CREATE A LITTLE BIT OF A FINANCIAL DISPARITY.

I DO KNOW THAT BY DAY THREE, DAY FOUR, THAT THE MAIN ROADS WERE LOOKING AMAZING. AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM ANYONE I KNOW.

I DO KNOW, ESPECIALLY ON MY STREET ON WILBUR CIRCLE, IT WAS LIKE TWO THREE INCHES OF ICE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FIX IS.

I DO KNOW THAT THEY SAID THAT WE WERE PLANNING FOR THE WORST IN MY FIELD OF WORK.

I UNDERSTAND THAT PLANNING PROCESS AND I, I FEEL LIKE THAT IF WE WERE PLANNING FOR THE WORST AND THE WORST HAPPENED, WE WOULD STILL DEFINITELY BE DEALING WITH THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THE WORST HAPPENING.

SO I, I DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THE FIX, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A FIX.

THERE WAS A YOUNG GENTLEMAN, GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE EARLIER ABOUT THE CHAINS. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCAL COUNTY ORDINANCES ON CHAINS, ON TIRES. I DO BELIEVE THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BIG TRUCKS.

AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO IT.

LIKE I SAID, YOU YOU'VE HEARD THE THE COMMENTS.

A FEW OF MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE MEETING.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING THAT I REALLY DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE UNTIL THE, THE NICE YOUNG MAN, I BELIEVE HE LIVED OFF OF LINWOOD THAT WAS HAVING THE HEALTH ISSUES WITH HIS NEIGHBORS, BEING BLIND AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I'M NOT SURE IF THERE MAYBE A SPOT WHERE THE COUNTY COULD MAYBE CREATE A PORTION ON THEIR WEB PAGE OR LOCAL RESIDENTS THAT HAVE THE MEANS CAN GET TOGETHER TO HELP ONE ANOTHER OUT. I THINK THAT MAY ACTUALLY NOT JUST HELP THE COUNTY SAVE A COUPLE DOLLARS, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, CREATE A SENSE OF SENSE OF PRIDE WITHIN THE WITHIN THE COUNTY ITSELF.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME LETTING ME SPEAK.

THANK YOU, MR. FRIDA. NEXT I HAVE MR. JACOB SHERARD. OKAY. IF YOU CAN GET MR. FRIEDA'S EMAIL FOR ME.

YES, SIR. WILL DO. ALL RIGHT.

[01:35:01]

THANK YOU. HELLO, GUYS, I'M JACOB SHERARD, I'M THE COMMUNITY COORDINATOR WITH STRONG TOWNS RVA. I'M ALSO A HENRICO RESIDENT OFF OF TOPPING LANE IN GLEN ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL. I WANTED TO TALK TODAY REGARDING WINTER STORM FERN, BUT ALSO THE THE HIGHWAY FUNDING PROPOSAL ON THE DOCKET TONIGHT, WHICH I BELIEVE THE STORM SERVES AS A GOOD METAPHOR FOR WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF ROADS, WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF HOMES THAT ARE KIND OF REALLY SPREAD OUT, IT BECOMES HARDER AND HARDER TO SERVICE THOSE HOMES WITH A LACK OF DENSITY BECAUSE YOU JUST, THE TAX DOLLARS ARE NOT THERE TO SUPPORT THAT.

THAT, THAT CAN LOOK LIKE FAILURES TO, TO PLOW EVERY STREET, RIGHT? WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF STREETS AND NOT A LOT OF FOLKS. THINGS JUST GET HARD AND I DON'T BLAME ANYBODY FOR THAT.

BUT I WANT TO REQUEST TONIGHT THAT WE DEFER THE REQUEST TO, TO REQUEST MORE MONEY FROM THE STATE FOR HIGHWAY FUNDING.

AS THAT WILL ONLY EXTEND THE ISSUE OF NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES TO SERVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE. SO THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD THIS EVENING? ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIR. YOU WOULD MOVE INTO YOUR GENERAL AGENDA.

[11. GENERAL AGENDA ]

MR. CRAWFORD COMES FORWARD WITH AGENDA ITEM 48-26,

[11d. 51-26 Resolution - Award of Contract - Ridgefield Parkway BMP and Stream Restoration - Three Chopt District. ]

NEXT, MR. CHAIR, 51-26 IS A RESOLUTION FOR AWARD OF CONTRACT.

THIS IS THE RICHFIELD PARKWAY BMP AND STREAM RESTORATION PROJECT IN THE THREE SHOP DISTRICT. MR. HUGHES. THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. THIS BOARD PAPER WOULD AWARD A UNIT PRICE CONTRACT FOR $1,048,000 AND $155 TO HARBOR, DREDGE AND DOCK FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE RIDGEFIELD PARKWAY BMP AND STREAM RESTORATION PROJECT. THE PROJECT INCLUDES REPAIR OF AN EXISTING BMP AND INSTALLATION OF IN-STREAM STRUCTURES, FLOODPLAIN BENCH GRADING, SEEDING AND PLANTING ALONG 200 LINEAR FEET OF AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARY TO STONY RUN.

SO THIS IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF RIDGEFIELD AND COX FOR LOCATION.

THE WORK IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN IN APRIL AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 365 DAYS.

THE COUNTY RECEIVED THREE BIDS AND BASED UPON A REVIEW OF THE BIDS, HARBOR DREDGE AND DOCK IS THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE BIDDER.

FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE CONTRACT IS AVAILABLE WITHIN THE PROJECT BUDGET.

THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND THE PURCHASING DIRECTOR RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE BOARD PAPER, AND THE COUNTY MANAGER CONCURS.

AND THEN I'LL ADD WE HAVE $168,000 IN STATE FUNDS CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THIS.

THANK YOU, MR. HUGHES. COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THERE'S A MOTION IS QUITE A SPREAD THERE IN THOSE BIDS.

GLAD WE GOT THAT ONE TO COME IN AT JUST OVER $1 MILLION.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. THE RESOLUTION IS APPROVED.

[11e. 52-26 Resolution - Authorization to Apply for Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development Grant for Short Pump Area Improvements - Three Chopt District. ]

MR. CHAIR, LAST ITEM 52-26 IS A RESOLUTION FOR AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR BETTER UTILIZING INVESTMENTS TO LEVERAGE DEVELOPMENT GRANT FOR SHORT PUMP AREA IMPROVEMENTS ON THE THREE CHOP DISTRICT. MR. HUGHES, THIS BOARD PAPER AUTHORIZES THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO APPLY FOR FUNDS IN ANY AMOUNT, IN ANY AMOUNT FROM THE BETTER UTILIZING INVESTMENTS TO LEVERAGE DEVELOPMENT GRANT OR BUILD PROGRAM OF THE U.S.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DURING FISCAL YEAR 2026 TO FUND THE SHORT PUMP AREA IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. THIS GRANT SUPPORTS SURFACE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS OF LOCAL OR REGIONAL OF REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE.

THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE PROJECT IS 167 MILLION.

THE COUNTY WILL PURSUE OTHER SOURCES OF LOCAL, REGIONAL AND STATE FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT AND INTENDS TO REQUEST BUILD GRANT FUNDS OF $25 MILLION, WHICH IS THE LIMIT.

THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE BOARD PAPER AND THE COUNTY MANAGER CONCURS. SO I'LL ADD WE HAVE WE ALREADY HAVE ABOUT 60 ALMOST 65 MILLION COMMITTED FROM CV TO REGIONAL FUNDS TOWARDS THIS PROJECT AND ANOTHER 32 MILLION FROM THE STATE. SO THIS IS HOPING TO OFFSET SOME OF THE 60 MILLION IN LOCAL FUNDS THAT WERE, I GUESS, CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THE PROJECT.

SO THIS WILL OFFSET THAT COST.

THANK YOU, MISS HUGHES. COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? AND MR. HUGHES, I ASSUME THIS IS THE PROJECT THAT THE CALLER, THE GENTLEMAN WHO CALLED IN WAS SPEAKING ABOUT, I BELIEVE, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY.

HIS CONCERN WAS THAT APPROVING THIS WOULD TIE UP FUNDS THAT PERHAPS HE THOUGHT WOULD BE BETTER USED ELSEWHERE.

SO, SO THAT I'M CLEAR THIS IS GIVING YOU AUTHORIZATION OR GIVING AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR THE GRANT. IS THAT CORRECT? AND HOPEFULLY WE GET IT NOW.

I GUESS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT YOU MENTIONED 60 MILLION FROM THE COUNTY THAT WOULD BE COMING FORTH. IF FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING DRAMATIC HAPPENED AND SUDDENLY THAT

[01:45:05]

MONEY NEEDED TO BE DIVERTED ELSEWHERE FOR SOME SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
