>> MR. CHAIR MEMBERS AND AUDIENCE, I HAVE TWO COMMENTS THIS EVENING.
[3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES – October 27, 2020, Regular and Special Meetings ]
THE FIRST IS OUR BIWEEK BIWEEKLE ON THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. I'LL ASK DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY TONY MCDOWAL TO COME FORWARD AND PRESENT INFORMATION TO THE BOARD AND THECIT CITIZENS. >> AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN
[4. MANAGER’S COMMENTS ]
ON THE CHARTS, IT'S A TREND CHART FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.WE HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE STATE AN UPTICK OF COVID-19 INFECTIONS IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
IT BLUE BARS REPRESENT DAILY POSITIVE CASES. THE GOLD LINE REPRESENTS THE RUNNING SEVEN-DAY AVERAGE OF NEW COVID CASES. THIS IS THE FULL COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA. WE HAVE SEEN SIMILAR TRIPODS IN THE RIDGE -- TRENDS IN THE REGION AND VIRGINIA. THE NUMBER OF DAILY CASES FOR HENRICO HAD AN UPTICK IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS AS WELL AS THE RUNNING 7-DAY AVERAGE IN GOLD. WE'LL GET MORE INTO THE ACTUAL NUMBERS IN A MOMENT. SO THIS IS THE NUMBER OF INFECTIONS.
THE QUESTION IS ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, HOW SERIOUSLY ARE PEOPLE SICK.
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING HOSPITALIZED AND SO THIS NEXT CHART GIVES YOU A PORTRAYAL THAT
[00:10:01]
SHOWS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA THE DAILY HOSPITALIZATION COUNTS AND AGAIN THE GOLD BAR IS THE 7-DAY RUNNING AVERAGE. YOU DO SEE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZATIONS IN HENRICO COUNTY. WE HAVE SEEN AN UPTICK IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS BUT THAT UPTICK MEANS WE HAVE ON AVERAGE BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE PEOPLE HOSPITALIZED FROM HENRICO COUNTY. SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT LARGE NUMBERS THANK GOODNESS. AS WE MOVE ON TO OBVIOUSLY THE WORST STATISTIC IS THE NUMBER OF LIVES TAKEN BY COVID-19 ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH, THERE HAVE BEEN UPS AND DOWNS IN THE DATA AND CERTAINLY THERE IS THE CHANCE AS THE NUMBER OF INFECTIONS INCREASE WE MAY SEE MORE HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS. THIS NUMBER APPEARS IN HENRICO COUNTY WHICH IS THE LAST CHART I'M SHOWING YOU TO BE RELATIVELY STABLE TO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST SEVERAL WEEKS OF THE PANDEMIC IN MARCH AND APRIL HIT US THE HARDEST. PARTICULARLY IN THE LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES ACROSS THE COUNTY. I PROVIDED FOR YOUR FOLLOW-UP AND INFORMATION, QUITE A FEW DATA ELEMENTS THAT I WASN'T NECESSARILY GOING TO REVIEW ALL THESE TONIGHT.THE FIRST TABLE SHOWS AGAIN JUST IN A TABLE FORMAT THE NUMBER OF NEW CASES.
THE 7-DAY AVERAGE. THE NUMBER OF CASES PER THOUSAND FOR THE COMMONWEALTH.
THEN FOR HENRICO AND OUR NEIGHBORS IN CHESTERFIELD AND THE CITY OF RICHMOND.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WE'RE AT OR BELOW THE STATE AVERAGE NUMBER OF CASES AND CONSISTENT WITH OUR NEIGHBORS. THE SAME IS TRUE BOTH FOR HOSPITALIZATIONS AND ON THE FINAL CHART, THE NUMBER OF COVID-RELATED DEATHS. IF I MAY I'LL TALK ABOUT VACCINATIONS. THERE HAS BEEN QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION IN THE NEWS RECENTLY ABOUT VACCINATIONS MOVING FORWARD IN CLINICAL TRIALS AND WE REPORTED TO THE BOARD IN PREVIOUS MEETINGS THAT OUR INTENT AND IN FACT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THE COURSE OF VACCINATIONS WILL PROCEED.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE HENRICO HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND VDH TO REALLY PRACTICE THIS AND IRON OUT THE KINKS BY DOING FLU VACCINATIONS. THIS IS FOR THE ANNUAL INFLUENZA VACCINATION PROGRAM. THE POINTS OF DISTRIBUTION THAT WE HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKING REALLY HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THE LOGISTICS OF LARGE SCALE VACCINATIONS AND DRIVE-THRU DISTRIBUTION OPPORTUNITIES. WE IDENTIFY STAFFING NEEDS, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND OTHER LOGISTICAL ISSUES. WE LISTED SOME OF THE RECENT FLU VACCINATION EVENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE WITH NEARLY 600 PEOPLE VACCINATED WHILE REALLY AT THE SAME TIME TRAINING OUR PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS ON HOW TO CARRY OUT THE EVENTUALLY COVID-19 VACCINATIONS ONCE THEY'RE AVAILABLE. WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT HOW THE PHASING OF VACCINATIONS WILL ROLL OUT THIS YEAR AS WELL AS NEXT YEAR. OUR BEST UNDERSTANDING OF THIS IS LISTED ON THE SLIDE. IT'S SUMMARIZED IN THREE PHASES. THE FIRST APPLIES TO HEALTHCARE WORKERS WHICH INCLUDES PEOPLE WHO WORK IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES.
THAT'S A VERY SIGNIFICANT CONCERN IN HENRICO COUNTY BECAUSE OF ALL THE NUMBER OF FACILITIES WE HAVE AS WELL AS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS. THE SECOND PHASE RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF THAT IS FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS INCLUDING SCHOOL TEACHERS AND CHILDCARE PROVIDERS. PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY AND INDIVIDUALS WITH HIGH RISK FACTORS SO GENERAL POPULATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH HIGH RISK FACTORS. THEN FINALLY IN THE LAST PHASE IS WHEN IT OPENS UP TO THE GENERAL POPULATION. WE DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT THE PHASING WILL LOOK LIKE.
WE'RE TOLD WE MAY SEE THE FIRST SETS OR DOSES OF VACCINATIONS BEFORE THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR. WE'RE STAYING ON THAT AS BEST AS WE CAN.
THEN MR. MANAGER, WITH YOUR INDULGENCE, I'D LIKE TO UPDATE THE BOARD ON DEVELOPMENTS TODAY RELATED TO COVID CASES THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT IN THE VOTER REGISTRARS OFFICE AS WELL AS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. THIS INFORMATION IS ALREADY OUT IN THE MEDIA AND NOTIFICATION HAS GONE OUT TO ALL EMPLOYEES, BUT I'LL TRY TO SUMMARIZE WHAT WE KNOW.
WE HAD AN EMPLOYEE AT THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE WHO BEGAN TO FEEL ILL ON SATURDAY.
SUBSEQUENTLY TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. THAT TEST CAME IN TODAY.
WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN CONDUCTING CONTACT TRACING AND IDENTIFIED PEOPLE THAT WERE CLOSE CONTACTS TO THAT EMPLOYEE AND WE TOOK ALL 13 PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE TODAY OVER TO EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND CONDUCTED THE RAPID COVID-19 TEST THAT WE HAVE AND OUT OF THAT, WE FOUND IN ADDITION TO THE ONE PERSON WHO ALREADY HAD A POSITIVE TEST, WE IDENTIFIED FOUR ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES FROM THE 13 WHO WERE POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. IN ADDITION TO THAT THERE WERE TWO EMPLOYEES AT PUBLIC WORKS WORK ON A DIFFERENT FAMILIAR OF THE SAME BUILDING WHO ALSO TESTED POSITIVE TO COVID-19. WE HAVE A TOTAL NOW OF SEVEN PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED
[00:15:02]
POSITIVE TESTS FOR. WE'LL CONTINUE CONTACT TRACING AND TESTING AS WE NEED TO OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE LAST DAY THAT PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO -- CITIZENS WERE ABLE TO COME IN AND LINE UP FOR EARLY VOTING IN PERSON WAS ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13. OUR EMPLOYEES FIRST SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS WERE A FULL WEEK LATER. SO BASED ON PROTOCOL AND OUR UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND CDC, THE PERIOD OF WHICH A PERSON IS INFECTIOUS IS REALLY TWO DAYS PRIOR TO SYMPTOMS. BECAUSE WE HAD A FULL WEEK IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO, WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANY CITIZENS WERE EXPOSED TO THE EMPLOYEE WHO HAD THE INFECTION.SO WE'RE CARRYING OUT ALL THE REPORTING, TESTING AND FOLLOWING UP PROCEDURES THAT ARE NECESSARY. I WILL TELL YOU OF THE FIVE INDIVIDUALS FROM THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE WHO TESTED POSITIVE, TWO HAVE MINOR SYMPTOMS. THREE HAVE NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THEIR CONDITION AND CERTAINLY HOPE FOR THE BEST.
WE HAVE ALREADY PERFOMED AN IMMEDIATE DISINFECTION OF THE BUILDING BUT THE BUILDING WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAY TOMORROW, BUT ALSO FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WHERE WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT DEEP CLEAN SING PERFORMED BEFORE THE BUILDING REOPENS ON MONDAY.
IF I CAN, I'D MAKE ONE COMMENT WHICH IS WE HAVE A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IN THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE, FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME EMPLOYEES, FOLKS THAT COME OUT AND WORK THE ELECTIONS, VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH A VERY CHALLENGING ELECTION CYCLE.
WE HAD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT CAME THROUGH THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE DURING EARLY VOTING WHO CAME IN PERSON AND THE COUNTY PROVIDED EVERY POSSIBLE SAFE GUARD THAT WE COULD IDENTIFY FROM SOCIAL DISTANCING TO PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, TRAINING JOE FORTH FOR THESE FOLKS. THEY KNEW GOING INTO IT THERE WAS A RISK TO PARTICIPATE.
I THINK IT'S REALLY A TESTAMENT TO THESE HARD WORKING EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS THAT THEY DID THEIR MART TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY HAD THEIR VOICES HEARD IN THE ELECTIONS.
I'M PROUD OF MY CO-WORKERS AND I'M PROUD TO STAND BY THEM AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS COVID CASE AND WITH THAT, I'LL CONCLUDE MY COMMENTS AND TRY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
>> ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE? THANK YOU, JOHN.
MR. MANAGER? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, SPEAKING OF THE REGISTRAR, MARK COAKLEY I KNOW IS WITH US VIRTUALLY AND I WANT TO PICK UP ON, YOU KNOW, THE COMMENTS THAT TONY MCDOWELL MADE. YOU THINK ABOUT MANAGING A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC. OBVIOUSLY THE LARGEST OUTCOME THAT WE EVER HAD AS FAR AS VOTES IN OUR COUNTY. IT'S THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE THAT REALLY PUT THEMSELVES OUT THERE. I SPECIFICALLY WANT TO THANK MARK COAKLEY, ANN MARIE MIDDLESWORTH. THE ELECTORAL BOARD, THE STAFF OF THE REGISTRAR, AND OUR DEPUTY COUNTY MANAGER MONICA CALLAHAN. YOU ALL SPENT HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS MAKING SURE THAT FOLKS COULD VOTE DIFFERENTLY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE TRIED THIS.
AND THE OUTCOME FROM A VOTING STANDPOINT AS FAR AS NUMBERS, IT'S UNPRECEDENTED.
SO MARK? ARE YOU -- HE WOULD BE HERE SHORT OF, YOU KNOW, THE ISSUE THAT WE HAD IN THE BUILDING. BUT MARK IS AT HOME. MA
MARK? >> THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER. MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT AND DEDICATION TO THE ELECTION PROCESS THAT WE HAVE HERE IN HENRICO. THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA AND THE UNITED STATES.
WE REALLY HAD THREE AND A HALF ELECTIONS HAPPEN SINCE SEPTEMBER 18 THROUGH NOVEMBER 3.
WE HAD ELECTION DAY, OUR TRADITIONAL DAY, ELECTION DAY WHICH WE HAD APPROXIMATELY 72,116 VOTERS SHOW UP AT THE 91 POLLING PLACES AND VOTE. BEFORE THAT, 45 DAYS LEADING UP TO ELECTION, WE HAD OVER 110,000 VOTERS EITHER VOTE BY MAIL OR IN PERSON.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE FIGURE TO WITNESS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN VIRGINIA.
SO AFTER NOVEMBER 3, WE STILL COUNTED BALLOT THROUGH SATURDAY, THE 7TH, BECAUSE OF AN ABSENTEE BY MAIL THAT WAS DELIVERED ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3. THREE AND A HALF ELECTIONS OVER ABOUT A 50-DAY PERIOD INSTEAD OF NORMALLY OUR 13 HOUR ONE-DAY EVENT.
IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY FOR ALL OF US. WE ARE REALLY EXCITED FOR WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND WHAT'S AHEAD IN THE FUTURE WITH VOTING IN VIRGINIA AND IN HENRICO
[00:20:01]
COUNTY. AT THIS TIME I DO WANT TO SAY THAT JUST BASED ON THE ROUGH ESTIMATE, ANN MARIE AND I PUT IN AN ADDITIONAL 425 TIME HOURS. STAFF DID EVEN MORE.I REALLY APPREC IATE IATE ALL TE WORK THAT PART-TIME VOLUNTEERS AND FULL-TIME STAFF HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SINCE THE EARLY DAYS. I'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AT THIS T TIME.
>> THANKS YOU, MARK. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MARK?
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I DO WANT TO THANK YOU, MARK. YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.
BACK INTO THE SUMMER. WITH PREPARATION, YOU KNOW, I CALL THE MANAGER ON -- CALLED THE MANAGER ON THE SATURDAY BEFORE -- SO THREE DAYS BEFORE ELECTION DAY TO SHOUT OUT TO YOU GUYS AND SUPPORT STAFF THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE COUNTY. MONICA AND OTHERS.
PRIOR TO ELECTION DAY OR AFTER ELECTION DAY, I DID NOT H HEAR -- I PERSONALLY DID NOT HEAR MANY COMPLAINTS AT ALL IF ANY. SO I DO KNOW THISF WAS DIFFERENT. YOU GUYS WORKED HARD. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT PERSONS HAVE COVID NOW. I'M HOPING IT WILL BE MINIMIZED. BUT I KNOW YOU WORKED HARD AND I KNOW THAT THE NEWS ABOUT COVID AND THEN SOME OF THE OTHER NEWS THAT HAD COME OUT WILL PUT A NEGATIVE SPIN ON OUR VOTER REGISTRATION OFFICE, BUT YOU GUYS WORK EXTREMELY HARD AND JUST KNOW THAT ONE OF -- I'M CERTAIN THAT ALL OF US APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS
DID DURING THIS ELECTION SEASON. >> ANYONE ELSE? NOPE? MARK, AGAIN, FROM ALL OF US, PLEASE TAKE -- MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF YOUR CREW ARE -- GET HEALTHY AND THE ONES, THE OTHERS, STAY HEALTHY IF YOU WOULD.
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE TIME THAT YOU GUYS PUT INTO THIS ELECTION.
MUCH. I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE BRIEFINGS AND AS WE GO INTO THE FUTURE, OUR CONTINUED RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MANAGER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, AND MR. CHAIRMAN.
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FROM US AND THE STAFF AND THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE.
>> THANKS AGAIN, MARK. MR. MANAGER? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE NO OTHER
COMMENTS. >> OKAY. AT THIS TIME ARE THERE ANY BOARD
MEMBERS THAT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS? >> PATRICIA O'BANNON: I DO, MR. CHAIRMAN. I AM SAD TO NOTE THE PASSING OF A NOTABLE HENRICOAN.
REVEREND DR. ANDREW M. MOSELEY, JR. HE DEPARTED THIS LIFE ON NOVEMBER 2 AND REVEREND MOSELEY WAS 80 YEARS OLD. HE WAS A RETIRED PASTOR OF QWAKASAN BAPTIST CHURCH WHERE HE SERVED FOR 32 YEARS.

SI SISTER. A HOST OF NIECES, NEPHEWS AND COUSINS. DR. MOSELEY WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AND WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY WELL THOUGHT OF. HE WAS NOTED BY SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN, AND OTHERS THROUGH THE YEARS FOR ALL HIS WORK IN THE COUNTY. HIS NAME IS SYNONYMOUS WITH ETHICS, MORALS, AND A PCONSCIEN. WE WILL SURELY MISS HIM. SORELY MISS HIM IN THE FUTURE.BUT I DID WANT TO MAKE THAT NOTE. THANK YOU.

IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN A WHOLE LOT NOW. SO I'M SADDENED BUT YOU DESERVE IT. WE WANT YOU TO CONTINUE TO ENJOY RETIREMENT AND I'M GOING TO MISS YOU PERSONALLY WORKING, BUT I KNOW YOU LITERALLY ARE HALF A MILE UP THE ROAD.

MANAGER, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, JOHN, ELIZABETH AND THE WHOLE STEELE CLAN, IN EARLY FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR I GOT A PHONE CALL AND IT WAS -- I HEARD YOU WANTED GARY MCCLAREN'S JOB. THAT WAS JOHN STEELEE AS OUR PERSONNEL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN AND THAT BEGAN OUR JOB TOGETHER WHICH HAS BEEN ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY CAREER AND WORKING WITH JOHN AND WORKING WITH THE EDA THAT THIS BOARD APPOINTS AND MAINTAINS.
JOHN HAS BEEN A SOUNDING BOARD AS REVEREND NELSON SAID. HE IS A VOICE OF REASON, OF MODERATION. HE PUTS HIS COUNTY AND HIS COMMUNITY FIRST.
WITH EDA MEMBERS LIKE JOHN STEELE AS I TELL THE COUNTY MANAGER THEY MAKE MY JOB VERY EASY. MY JOB IS DON'T VIEW THINGS UP, ANTHONY.
[00:35:01]
JOHN STEELE AND OUR EDA AND THIS BOARD AND COUPE GOVERNMENT ARE JUST -- COUNTY GOVERNMENT ARE JUST PHENOMENAL. I'LL MISS JOHN AND HIS WISE COUNSEL.I WILL BE STOPPING BY HIS HOUSE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME GOLF BALLS IN THE RIVER.
THANK YOU FROM IT BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
[APPLAUSE] >> SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO COME UP AND ASK COMMENTS, SIR.
I'LL GIVE MS. ELIZABETH THIS RESOLUTION, AND WE ARE -- THIS IS -- I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. SO THIS IS A -- YOU KNOW, WE GET MORE CREATIVE WITH THESE GIFTS.
BOARD MEMBERS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THIS. THIS IS A GIFT ON ANOTHER LEVEL HERE. THE HENRICO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HONOR YOUR DEDICATED SERVICE. THERE IT IS, JOHN M. STEELE, 1994 TO DECEMBER 2020.
NOW THIS LITTLE ROLLING PIECE HAS TO STAY HERE. WE'LL LET YOU TAKE THIS AND YOU GUYS ALREADY HAVE A BEAUTIUL HOME. I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND SOMEWHERE TO ADD THIS ON THE PROPERTY. GO AHEAD. SAY A FEW WORDS.
>> JOHN STEELE: THANK YOU. YOU CAN SAY THAT FOR MY OBITUARY IF YOU WANT IT.
MR. CHAIRMAN AND BOARD MEMBERS AND MR. MANAGER, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS. IF I'M NOT SPEAKING LOUD ENOUGH, IF SOMEBODY WOULD LET ME KNOW THAT, I'LL SPEAK LOUDER. WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO SAY, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THOSE TIMES WHEN A SPEAKER WOULD SAY, I'LL BE BRIEF. TO ME THAT WAS ALWAYS A RED FLAG THAT IT WOULD BE ANYTHING BUT BRIEF. THEN YOU START TO WONDER WHEN WILL THIS END? I'LL BE BRIEF. [LAUGHS] I'M HONORED THAT YOU HAVE -- I'M HONORED TO RECEIVE THIS AND YOU COULD HAVE KNOCKED ME OVER WITH A FEATHER WHEN ANTHONY CALLED ME AND SAID, YOU NEED TO BE AT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEET ING, AND YOU'RE VERY KIND AND I'M MOST GRATEFUL. LIKE I SAID, I WOULDN'T BE TOO LONG. I ONLY HAVE SEVEN PAGES OF NOTES.
I'M LEAVING THE EDA AT A TIME WHEN IT HAS -- IT'S NEVER BEEN BETTER.
ANTHONY IS JUST EXCELLENT AND HAS A GREAT TEAM THAT I THINK IS WORLD CLASS.
REALLY. IN THE 26 YEARS THAT I WAS ON THE BOARD, IT'S THE STRONGEST BOARD THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD. THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS ARE FOC FOCUSED, THEY'RE SMART, THEY ARE DIVERSE, COMPETITIVE, AND ENGAGED.
IT'S REALLY SOMETHING TO SEE HOW THE BOARD HAS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS.
342 MEETINGS SPANNED 26 YEARS. IT WAS ALWAYS A PRIVILEGE. IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
I'M GOING TO MISS IT. TRUTH BE TOLD, IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS, I WAS A TINY COG IN A WHEEL OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT JUGGERNAUT. IN MY OPINION, YOU DESERVE HIGH PRAISE FOR CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT'S A CATALYST FOR SUCCESS.
AFTER ALL, YOU'RE THE ONES WHO APPOINT THE EDA'S DIRECTORS. JOHN IS AN OUTSTANDING LEADER.
YOU HAVE EMPOWERED HIM WITH THE AUTHORITY AND FLEXIBILITY TO DO HIS JOB IN A FASHION THAT FOSTERS A CULTURE THAT IS FOC FOCUSED, RESULT ORIENTED, WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS, A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE RIGHT REASONS AND ATTITUDE OF CAN DO, WILL DO, COMMIT TODAY RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES ALIKE. I COULD GO ON AND ON. SO ONE FINAL THING.
I'LL BE BRIEF. YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO HOME OWNER CONCERNS AND HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF BEING RECEPTIVE TO NEW IDEAS. THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. IN THAT SPIRIT I HAVE A
[00:40:06]
SUGGESTION. I MUST SAY IT'S A GOOD IDEA DESPITE THE FACT THAT I THOUGHT OF IT. HERE IS THE BACKGROUND. I HAVE LIVED IN THE VERONA DISTRICT FOR 34 YEARS. 34 YEARS. AT NO TIME IN THOSE 34 YEARS HAVE WE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE PIZZA DELIVERED TO OUR HOME. A LITTLE PROVISION OF THE 28TH AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES GIVES CITIZENS THE INAILIABLE RIGHT TO HOME DELIVERY OF PIZZA. YOU MIGHT SAY THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM.PRIVATE ENTERPRISE WILL HANDLE IT WHEN THE POPULATION GROWS. TO THAT I'D SAY THERE IS ANOTHER WAY. HAVE THE POLICE DELIVER THE PIZZA.
RIGHT NOW YOUR KNEE JERK REACTION IS ALMOST CERTAINLY NO WAY OR THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
HAS HE LOST HIS MIND? GLAD HE IS RESIGNING. BUT HEAR ME OUT.
HERE IS HOW IT WOULD WORK. THE PIZZA PLACE WOULD NOTIFY THE POLICE THAT THE PIZZA IS READY.
LIKE UBER, THE CLOSEST OFFICER WOULD RESPOND. WITH BLUE LIGHTS FLASHING AND SI SI SIRENS BLARING, THE OFFICER MAKES A DELIVERY. THINK OF THE GOOD WILL THIS WOULD FOSTER.
RESIDENTS WOULD SEE THE POLICE IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT LIGHT. I OFFER THIS TONGUE IN CHEEK BUT WHO KNOWS. STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. I'M REMINDED THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PERSON WHO DOESN'T HAVE TO DO THE WORK THEMSELVES.
I WANT TO CLOSE BY THANKING YOU AGAIN FOR THIS OCCASION. IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE AND A PRIVILEGE.
THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] BEN, CAN YOU SNAP A PICTURE REAL QUICK? COME IN SO WE CAN GET EVERYBODY IN THE PICTURE.
OH, GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. MY GOODNESS. YOU GOT CARRIED AWAY THERE.
I'LL TELL YOU. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, WE'LL MOVE INTO APPOINTMENTS AND RESIGNATION.
WE HAVE TWO ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. AGENDA ITEM 274-20.
THIS IS A RESIGNATION OF A MEMBER FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY. THIS BOARD PAPER WOULD OFFICIALLY ACCEPT THE RESIGNATION OF JOHN M. STEEL FROM THAT BODY EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 30, 2020.

[9. PUBLIC HEARINGS – REZONING CASES AND PROVISIONAL USE PERMITS ]
BUSINESS DISTRICT TO R6C GENERAL RESIDENCE DISTRICT. A PARCEL CONTAINING JUST OVER 16[9a. 276-20 REZ2020-00028 Brookland Millspring Commons Apartments LLC: Request to conditionally rezone from B-2C Business District (Conditional) to R-6C General Residence District (Conditional) Parcel 773-759-5623 containing 16.17 acres located on the west line of Woodman Road approximately 240’ north of its intersection with Hungary Road.

The site is in the Enterprise Zone. The Planning Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors grant the request. ]
ACRES. THE PARCEL IS LOCATED ON THE WEST LINE OF WOODMAN ROAD.APPROXIMATELY 240 FEET NORTH OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH HUNGARY ROAD.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITH COMMERCIAL USES.
AGENDA ITEM 277-20, THE COMPANION CASE IS SIMPLY A REQUEST FOR A PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT. UNDER CHAPTER 24, THE COUNTY CODE THAT WOULD ALLOW A MIXED USE COMMUNITY ON THAT PARCEL. MR. SEAL IS GOING TO PRESENT THIS PAPER.
B BEN? >> THANK YOU, MR. MANAGER, MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THESE TWO ITEMS ARE COMPANION CASES THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ON THE LAUREL PARK SHOPPING CENTER.
THIS REQUEST, THE PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT PORTION OF THE REQUEST IS APPROXIMATELY 10 ACRES OF THE SAME PARCEL FOR THE REZONING. CONSIDERATION OF THE SPRINGSAL USE PERMIT -- PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST WOULD BE TO FOLLOW THE REZONING.
THE SUBIECTSITE WAS DEVELOPED AS -- SITE WAS DEVELOPED AS LAUREL PARK IN THE 1960S AND SURROUNDING PROPERTY IS A VARIETY OF RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL ZONING.
IT INCLUDES BRANDEN FORCE SUBDIVISIONS AND LAUREL PARK AND SMALLER BUSINESSES AND OFFICE USES. AS SHOWN ON THE CONCEPT PLAN THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO REZONE TO R6C TO ALLOW FOR A MIXED USE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY WITH 350 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
APPROXIMATELY 12,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL USES ARE PROPOSED. THE COMMERCIAL USES WOULD BE LOCATED IN THIS BUILDING ADJACENT TO HUNGARY ROAD AND THE OTHER TOWN HOUSE STYLE APARTMENT BUILDINGS ON THE NORTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. UNDER RECENT CHANCES TO THE R-6 DISTRICT AN APPLIC FOR PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT CAN BE MADE WITH MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AND USES FOR HIGHER DENSITY AND FLEXIBILITY IN SETBACKS AND PARKING STANDARDS.
THE PROPER CONCEPT PLAN WHICH IS ALSO PART OF THE COMPANION P PUP HAS THIS FLEXIBILITY.
IT WOULD BE 27.8 UNITS PER ACRE. IT WOULD MEET ALL DENSITY AND SETBACKS FOR THE R-6 DISTRICT.
SUBMITTED IN CONDITION ELEVATIONS AND RAPTERINGS DEPICT THE DESIGN OF THE SITE AND PROPOSED BUILDINGS. SHOWN HERE IS A VIEW LOOKING INTO THE SITE FROM HUNGARY ROAD WHILE THIS VIEW SHOWS THE FRONT OF SOME OF THE TOWN HOUSE STYLE UNITS ADJACENT TO THE LARGE INTERIOR PARK AREA SHOWN ON THE CONCEPT PLAN. THE GOAL OF THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT WAS TO ENCOURAGE THESE TYPES OF COMMUNITIES OR A MIXTURE OF USES ON INFILL SITES COULD BE INTEGRATED TO FORM POCKETS OF WALKABLE COMMUNITIES. THESE POCKETS CAN HELP FORM THE CORE OF A LARGER WALKABLE AREA PROVIDING SERVICES TO NEW AND EXISTING RESIDENTS.
THIS ALSO ALLOWS FOR ADDITIONAL SHARED PARKING OPPORTUNITIES CONSISTENT WITH THE PARKING PLAN THAT IS PART OF THE PROVISIONAL USE PERMIT. IN RESPONSE TO STAFF CONCERNS THE APPLICANT PREVIOUSLY REVISED THEIR PLAN TO PRESERVE A NOTABLE TREE NEAR THE WOODMAN ROAD ENTRANCE. THE REVISED PLAN CONTINUES TO SHOW ALLEY ACCESS FOR THE TOWN
[00:50:03]
HOUSE STYLE UNITS WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE MOE URBAN FEEL OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. THE PROPER CONDITIONS ADDRESS CONSTRUCTION, SOUND SUPPRESSION MEASURES, BUFFERING AND BUILDING MATERIALS. ALL ARE CONSISTENT WITH OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AT THIS TIME. THE STAFF REPORT FOR THE PUP CONTAINS 11 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS TO REGULATE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE INCLUDING REGULATIONS FOR OUTSIDE DINING AND REQUIREMENTS FOR SIDEWALK, PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING AND PLANS. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS IN KEEPING WITH THE GOALOFFS THE RECENT CHANGES TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND IS A REASONABLE USE OF AN INFILL SITE THAT FACED CHALLENGES FROM THE DEVELOPMENT NEARBY COMMERCIAL CENTERS. PUBLIC FACILITY IMPACTS WOULD APPEAR TO BE LARGELY MINIMIZED ALTHOUGH SOME IMPACTS ARE PARTICIPATED AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL. A COMMUNITY MEETING WAS HELD AUGUST 26 INCLUDING IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL ATTENDEES. APPROXIMATELY 120 PROPERTY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED AND THREE RESIDENTS ATTENDED IN PERSON WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 ONLINE. ATTENDEES SEEMED SUPPORTIVE BUT RAISED QUESTIONS REGARDING BUFFERING AND TRAFFIC. THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS SHOULD HELP MITIGATE POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE DESIGN WILL FOSTER A MORE WALKABLE DEVELOPMENT FOR FUTURE RESIDENTS AND THE ADJACENT COMMUNITY.STAFF SPORTS THESE REQUESTS. SEPARATE MOTIONS WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR EACH.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'M HAPPY TO TRY AND ANSWER THEM AT THIS TIME.
>> THOMAS BRANIN: DOES ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. SEAL? NONE? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IF ANYONE IS IN THE ROOM THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO, FOR OR AGAINST THIS PROJECT, PLEASE LET US KNOW NOW. SEEING NO ONE, BECAUSE THIS IS ALSO BEING BROADCAST BY WEBEX, IF YOU'D LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, GO ON HENRICO.US/SUPERVISORS AND SCROLL DOWN TO THE WEBEX EVENT AND THE MODERATOR WILL COME ON. AT THIS TIME IS THERE ANYONE ON
WEBEX THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO, FOR OR AGAINST? >> THERE IS NO ONE ON WEBEX.
>> THOMAS BRANIN: OKAY. SEEING NONE IN THE ROOM, HEARING NONE, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I BELIEVE THERE IS TWO SEPARATE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE MADE. >> YEAH.
MR. CHAIRMAN, A COUPLE QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE A SECOND OR IF YOU'D
LIKE TO HEAR FROM HIM -- >> THOMAS BRANIN: THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION I DIDN'T THROW OUT THERE.
. >> THE COMMUNITY MEETING, WE HOSTED IT IN THIS ROOM.
I WANT TO SPEAK TO A COUPLE OF THE RESIDENT CONCERNS ALL WHICH WERE STRAYS ADDRESSED.
ONE WAS THE TRAFFIC OFF WOODMAN ROAD. THERE IS TRAFFIC, I GUESS TRAFFIC MITIGATION ON THE IN/OUT THERE. THE TOLL TRIPS IS 1360.
NOT A TON. CAN YOU SPEAK TO ANY TRAFFIC NOTES WE MADE DURING THE
COMMUNITY MEETING? >> SURE. WITH RESPECT TO THE -- WE'RE USING THE EXACT SAME ACCESS POINTS THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY FOR THE SHOPPING CENTER WITH THE ONE ACCESS POINT OFF WOODMAN AND ALSO TWO OFF HUNGARY ROAD THAT WE'RE ABLE TO CIRCULATE THE TRAFFIC. AS YOU NEAT NOTED THE TRAFFIC -- NOTED THE TRAFFIC WITH THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC WITH RESPECT TO THE RESIDENTIAL IS NOTED TO BE ABOUT 1300 IN OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY AND 1300 OUT. SPLIT EVENLY.
WITH RESPECT TO THE CURRENT RE RETAIL WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT'S POTENTIAL ON THIS AS WELL AS EXISTING, IT WOULD BE OVER 3600 TRIPS PER DAY WHICH USUALLY HAPPENS MORE LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON SO TEND TO BE MORE TRAFFIC AS OPPOSED TO DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE DAY. WE'RE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO USE THOSE EXISTING ACCESS POINTS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE SHOPPING CENTER WHICH WILL HELP DISPERSE
HE TRAFFIC. >> THANK YOU, SIR.
NOW THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I DON'T THINK IT WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE COMMUNITY MEETING BUT I HEARD AND SEE IT HERE IS I WANT TO ADDRESS THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IMPACT.
JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE, ANYBODY LISTENING OR CERTAINLY FOR THE RECORD, THERE IS HOLIDAY ELEMENTARY IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT, A POSITIVE IMPACT UPON SOME OF THAT FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY. ALSO A POTENTIAL FAIRFIELD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF WOODMAN ROAD. SO I GUESS MY ONLY QUESTION TO MAKE SURE THE RESIDENTS ARE CLEAR IS WHAT'S THE TIMELINE OF FULL BUILDOUT FOR THAT TO BE IMPACTED?
WHAT'S THE SPAN OF BUILDOUT? >> WELL, CERTAINLY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF -- TWO POINTS TO THAT. WE'RE LIMITING THE NUMBER OF THREE-BEDROOMS. THE PROVISIONAL USE IMPACT HAS THE LIMITATION OF SEVEN 3-BEDROOM LIMITS FOR THE TWO BUILDINGS. THE OVERALL COURSE OF DEVELOPMENT, WE EXPECT TO HAVE
[00:55:07]
ABOUT TWO TO THREE YEARS TO GO THROUGH A FULL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND DO FINANCING AND PERMITTING AND START CONSTRUCTION IN 2021. THEN THROUGH THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION THROUGH 2022.>> FINALLY, IT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT PARKING. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE 415 PARKING SPACES DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TOWNHOMES? IS THAT CORRECT?
>> I DO BELIEVE THAT THE -- I DON'T KNOW. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE TOWNHOMES, THE 415 SPACES. WHAT WE'VE GOT IS TEACH EACH OF THE TOWNHOMES HAS TWO-CAR GARAGES PLUS TWO SPACES IN FRONT OF EACH OF THE TWO-CAR GARAGES TO ACCOMMODATE ITSELF BUT WITH RESPECT TO THE 350 UNITS THAT WE OTHERWISE HAVE, WE HAVE THE 415 PLUS EACH OF THE TOWN HOUSES HAS
A TWO-CAR GARAGE WITH TWO SPACES. >> GOTCHA.
THANK YOU. APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME. I WANT TO SPEAK HERE BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION. I WANT TO SPEEBLG NOT ONLY TO THE APPLICANTS BUT FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA. YOU HEARD MR. SEAL MENTION THIS SHOPPING CENTER WAS BUILT IN THE 1960S. APPROACHING 60 PLUS OR MINUS YEARS FOR THIS AREA AND THESE RESIDENTS AND NOT ONLY DOES THIS COUNTY DESERVE TO HAVE SOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE CORRIDOR, THE RESIDENTS DESERVE IT. THEY CAME OUT TO THE COMMUNITY MEETING AND EXPRESSED THEIR OPINION AND QUITE FRANKLY THEY SUPPORTED IT. THEY CAME OUT AND SUPPORTED THE IDEA OF MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL WITH RENACHL RETAIL. I'D OFFER THIS.
THERE WILL BE NO GREATER ADVOCATE ALONG THE WAY THAN I. I'LL BE AN INTERESTED PARTY TO THE GREAT THINGS I EXPECT TO GO ON IN THIS PROPERTY AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE OF AN INTERESTED PARTY THAN I. I'LL BE THERE REGULARLY. I'D ENCOURAGE THE APPLICANT AND FOLKS DOING THE WORK TO REACH OUT. SHOULD THEY NEED ANYTHING.
THERE IS NO GREATER ADVOCATE AND NO MORE INTERESTED PARTY THAN ME ON THAT CORRIDOR AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS PROJECT. I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK.
I WANT TO THANK THE PLANNING STAFF FOR EXTRA WORK ON THIS ONE.

THE CSX RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES INDUSTRIAL USES INCLUDING COLD STORAGE DISTRIBUTION, WAREHOUSE AND MANUFACTURING.IN THIS CASE THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED TO RECOMMEND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GRANT THIS REQUEST. MR. HUM PHRASE WILL BE PRESENTINGTHIS CASE.
[01:00:04]
>> GOOD EVENING, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. LET ME GET THIS ALL -- AS MENTIONED THE SUBJECT SITE IS COMPRISED OF ONE ENTIRE PARCEL AND A PORTION OF AN ADDITIONAL TWO PARCELS AS SEEN ON THE MAP, THE PARCELS ARE REFERRED TO AS . THE SITE IS GENERALLY UNDEVELOPED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OFFSITE PARKING FOR THE NASCAR RACES. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED 02C, B-2, M-1, M-2, AND C-1 CURRENTLY WHICH WOULD ALREADY ALLOW SOME OF THE LIMITED WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION ACTIVSIES SO DESIRED. THIS REQUEST WOULD UNIFY ALL THE SUBJECT LAND UNDER ONE ZONING DISTRICT CONTROLLED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE AND SUBMITTED PROPERS.
IMMEDIATE EASTERN BOUNDARY IS A CSX RAIL LINE TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE SITE.
THE LAND CONTINUES TO THE (INAUDIBLE) RIVER. TO THE SOUTH IS A COUNTY FIRE STATION. A VACANT BUSINESS PARCEL. AND ACROSS AZALEA ARE ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES OWNED BY THE RICHMOND RACEWAY. IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE WEST IS A SINGLE HOUSE ON AN ANCHORAGE PARCEL, A MINI-STORAGE FACILITY, VACANT INDUSTRIAL, THE AZALEA FLEA MARKET PROPERTY AND A VACANT PROPERTY ZONED 0-2C AND A-1.
OTHER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL SINGLE FAMILY UNIT THE CLOSELY RESIDENTIAL USES ARE SEVERAL APARTMENT COMPLEXES ON THE WEST SIDE OF WILKINSON AND THE FAYETTE PARK SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS SOUTH OF AZALEA AVENUE. THE APPLICANT SUBMITTED PUPS DATED NOVEMBER 10, 2020. A LINE VERSION OF THE NEW ONE HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED TONIGHT PRIOR TO THE MEETING. THE NEW PROFFERS ADDED TWO SUBSECTIONS ABOUT BUFFERS TO PROFFER 5 AND CHANGED ANOTHER SUBSECTION. I'LL EXPLAIN THESE FURTHER IN A MINUTE. FIRST OVERALL THE PROFFERS ADDRESS TOPICS INCLUDING CONSERVATION AREAS, UTILITY LINES, SIGNAGE, BUILDING MATERIALS, FENCING, LIGHTING, TRASH ENCLOSURES, HVAC SCREENING AND B&P AERATION. THE APPLICANT ADDRESSED THE TURN PIKE AND AZALEA. A 50-FOOT SETBACK FROM ANY BUILDING AS HAZ BEEN COMMITTED TO WITH 45 FEET PLANTED TO A TRANSITIONAL BUFFER 35 LEVEL WOULD BE PRESERVED OR ENHANCED.
TO HELP PROTECT THE ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, THE APPLICANT HAS PROFFERED A 75-FOOT NATURAL AREA THAT WILL BE BROUGHT UP TO A TB-50 STANDARD WHERE NEEDED.
THE AMENDED PROFFERS AT A LIMITATION ON HOW CLOSE THE BUILDINGS CAN BE PLACED ON TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, THE CLOSEST BUILDING OTHER -- PRIMARY BUILDING SO BUILDINGS DICK ACCESSORY BUILDINGS SUCH AS SECURITY HOUSES AND SUCH CAN BE WITHIN THIS BUT THE CLOSEST PRIARY BUILDING WOULD BE 35 FEET. DUE TO THE UPCOMING WIDENING PROJECT THEY PROVIDE THE RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH PROPERTY. THE ROADWAY WILL BE WIDE PUD TO FOUR LANES WITH PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES THROUGH THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ENDING AT THE RAILROAD TO THE NORTHEAST. THE APPLICANT HASOLOGIST ADDRESSED ALLOWABLE USES.PTHE BS WOULD BE THE M-1 DISTRICT WITH LIMITED ADDITIONAL M-2 USES ALLOWED.
THE RESTRICTION REMOVES MANY OF THE MORE OBNOXIOUS USES NORMALLY ALLOWED.
SOME OF THE DESIRED ACTIVITIES COULD ALREADY BE CONDUCTED ON M-1 AND M-2 AND VACANT ADJACENT LAND ZONE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE APPLICANT HOSTED A COMMUNITY MEETING SEPTEMBER 30.
OVER 250 NOTICES WERE SENT TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE COMMUNITY MEETING. FIVE MEMBERS PHYSICALLY ATTENDED.
TEN INDIVIDUALS REGISTERED FOR THE VIRTUAL PORTION OF THE MEETING AND FOUR OF THE
[01:05:01]
ATTENDEES SPOKE. MUCH LIKE THE SINGLE VIRTUAL SPEAKER AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING THE RESIDENTS WHO SPOKE WERE MAINLY CONCERNED WITH TRAFFIC AND POLLUTION FROM ININDUSTRIAL USES. THE 2026 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDS LIGHT INDUSTRY, OFFICE SERVICE, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AREA USES FOR THE SITE.THE USES THE APPLICANT HAS LIMITED THE SITE TO THROUGH THE SUBMITTED PROFFERS WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THOSE DESIG DESIGNATIONS.
THE MULTIPLE ZONING DISTRICTS WOULD BE BROUGHT TOGETHER UNDER ONE DISTRICT WHICH WILL ALLOW A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT'S TRAFFIC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE PLANNED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS WITH A FEW ADDITIONS WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC INCREASES. THE PROFFER SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT WOULD FURTHER GOVERN THE USE OF THE PROPERTY ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ZONING ORDINANCE. FOR THESE REASONS STAFF SUPPORTS THIS REQUEST. AT THE OCTOBER 15 MEETING, THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONCURRED WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL. THAT'S MY PRESENTATION.

YOU MIGHT RECALL BACK IN MARCH WE HAD SIGNIFICANT CONCERN ABOUT THE FISCAL 20 BUDGET AND WHAT COVID AND THE SHUT DOWN WOULD DO FOR US. OUR LOCAL ECONOMY WAS EXTREMELY RESILIENT.
