RE: MATTERS FROMTHE PUBLIC  Mr. James Wittmeyer spoke about paying his taxes in. June for his new house, which is just above where his old house was. However, when he went to pay his taxes, they said any money he put towards the taxes for this year would go towards his old tax bill. He asked why this was the case. The Board asked Mr. Wittmeyer to leave hisi information with the County Administrator and  that staff would research the situation and call him.  Ms. Jennifer Lewis-Fowler gave a public service announcement about the upcoming primary elections. She provided information on early voting dates and times, as well as the number of voters who had voted early in each primary. She also reminded those in attendance of the deadlines to run in the special election for the Standardsville District Board of Supervisor position  and the Treasurer position.  Mr. Scott Mingledorff expressed concern over how the Planning and Zoning department was handling the upcoming Board of Zoning Appeals hearing regarding Beard Winery. He said the staff report asserts they have no right to have their appeal heard because it was considered an untimely response to a zoning certification letter. He also said the staff report seeks to deny a hearing by claiming the same reason. He was further concerned that the BZA agenda failed to list  any opportunity for appellants to speak.  Mr. Ken Copeland spoke about issues with transparency throughout the process regarding the Beard Mountain Vineyards appeal. He mentioned that during aj previous planning commission presentation, Ms. Golden inserted slides that were not in the pre-hearing package and have never been added to the hearing record. He also discussed difficulties in submitting their BZA appeal and feeling it was obstructed by staff. He expressed concern over actions by planning and zoning  staff that limit public access to information and silence voices.  Mr. Victor Rosenberg made two requests to the Board. First, he asked the Board to direct the Zoning Administrator to re-advertise and characterize their appeal on the June 26th BZA hearing agenda as a public hearing, rather than just an appeal. Second, he requested that the appellants' presentation be included as an agenda item immediately following the staff report in  the published agenda.    Board of Supervisors June 11,2024 Sheet 5  Mr. Bill Zutt thanked the Board for the steps they have taken to bring the appellants this fari in the process regarding their BZA appeal. He expressed gratitude for their efforts. He echoed Rosenberg's request to characterize their appeal on the BZA agenda as aj public hearing rather than simply an appeal. He also wanted their challenge to the planning commission resolution included in the agenda. He thanked the Board again and said all they have asked for from the beginning is  af full and fair hearing of their BZA appeal.  Ms. Gwen Baker brought attention to a large building being constructed at the new r-cut road and Route 29 intersection on property owned by Grange Commons. She noted it was 13+ acres and questioned why site plans had not been posted fors such al large building that wouldi impact the intersection. She also mentioned another potential development of 17 new homes on approximately 2.3 acres per house with new roads on Moore Road and asked if those roads and homes would have required utilities. She finally mentioned an email she sent regarding committees holding virtual meetings with available Zoom links and recordings of meetings. RE: PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SECONDARY SIX-YEAR PLAN FOR FY 25-30 AND ON THE SECONDARY CONSTRUCTION BUDGET FOR FY25 regarding the unpaved roads the Board wished to add to the SSYP.

RE: ROUTE 670 CONNECTOR ROAD DISCUSSION  Mr. Frydl provided context on Route 670/Preddy Creek Road and the Smart Scale project that was awarded by VDOT. He explained that Preddy Creek Road is a key commercial corridor and the highest growth area for both commercial and residential development. He said VDOT's priority is throughput on Route 29, and their solution would require traffic from Preddy Creek Road to turn right onto 29, go to the Sheetz intersection, and do a U-turn. Hei noted 57% of Greene County workers commute south, SO this would impact many. He said local administration allows the county to review alternate designs through VDOT's process, which could allow for a left turn option. This would be the first step to commit to local administration and negotiating with VDOT  or let VDOT doi it as a U-turn option.    Board of Supervisors June 11,2024 Sheet 7  Upon motion by Steve Catalano, second by Davis Lamb and unanimous roll call vote, the Board approved the resolution to locally administer the Route 670 Connector Road project as  presented.

Board of Supervisors June 11, 2024 Sheet 9  Mr. McGuigan asked the Board to consider issuing a letter of instruction from the board itselft to the Board ofZoning Appeals in Greene County regarding the Beard Winery appeal to read as follows: On May 14, 2024, the Board resolved that the zoning appeal of Mr. Zutt et all be forwarded to the Board of Zoning Appeals for adjudication. It is the understanding of the Board of Supervisors that a complete and full public hearing of all issues in this case related to the farm winery ordinance, zoning clearance, zoning certification and Planning Commission deliberations will be performed by the Board of Zoning Appeals. He wants to do this to clarify the scope of what should be discussed. Ms. Kemp cautioned the Board about discussing the facts of this pending BZA matter. Mr. Catalano suggested that we remove the words "Planning Commission deliberations" and that he would then be o.k. with sending the letter as it just shares the intent of the vote the Board took at the last meeting on this matter. Ms. McGuigan was o.k. with that  change.  Upon motion by Steve Catalano, second by Francis McGuigan and affirmative roll call vote, the Board agreed to suspend their bylaws and to send the letter as read by Mr. McGuigan  with the words Planning Commission deliberations removed.  Ms. Durrer asked Ms. Kemp ift this would be appropriate.  Ms. Kemp again cautioned the Board that they should not tell the BZA what to do; that the Board only petitions the Court to appoint them and that this is a delegation of powers issue. Mr. McGuigan said that they are not discussing the case. Mr. Catalano said that itj just reiterates what the Board voted on at the last meeting. Mr. Goolsby said that the matteri is ini the hands oft the BZA now and that it is up to their discretion. He said that he feels that anything else at this point would be some way of trying to sway their decision and that he thinks it best to let the BZA do what they do. Ms. Durrer agreed and noted that the Board just agreed to hire an attorney for the BZA and that they should get advice from their attorney. Mr. Mcguigan said that he understands that the presentation that's going to be presented by staff actually does create, in and of itself, almost a decision as to the scope of the deliberations, and I think that needs to be corrected, because the staffi is speaking on our behalf, and it's as though we're endorsing al limitation of this discussion as toat time clock that was started when this letter of zoning certification was issued. He said that he thinks the Board should share their intent that there be a discussion of all the issues, and not just a discussion of whether or not there was a 30-day clock that started or did not start.
