Bill Wolf, Preserve Craig, Mountain Valley Pipeline Update- No Update  D. Woody Lipps, Craig Valley Railbed Trail -Mr. Lipps updated the Board about resent comments regarding higher taxes due to trail maintenance. Mr. Lipps explained, the committee takes every comment seriously and look into it. Mr. Lipps gave a briefing about thel breakdown from maintenance from similar local trails and the volunteer group that havel beenl helping throughout last year. January and February of2024, Pathfinders for Greenways, Mid-week Crew, contributed 328 hours to complete deferred maintenance complete deferred "greenway" trail. Monitoring the results ofthis work overtime gives us an idea of maintenance necessary to insure the desired trail condition. A recent inspection found the trail tol be in good shape. The tread remains solid and free from erosion. Mowing has been sufficient to maintain the width ofthe trail. Future vegetation management is needed to fully eradicate invasive species like Multi-flora Rose and Autumn Olive. These species are the most likely to encroach on1 the trail and require regular maintenance to keep them trimmed back. Removal of dead and dying trees along the trail has reduced down trees across the trail. Work is still planned to raise the trail level for about 300 foot distance at the school end to get above occasional standing water. Both bicycle and VDOT Timeline: Remains unchanged. Cultural Resource Inventory being reviewed by the Department of Historic Resources. Engineers continue to: make field notes and take detailed measurements while working on the design. Some maintenance activity is anticipated between Mill Creek and the county line in August. This would include de-watering and filling mud holes. With some VDOT assistance, volunteers are planning to resume removing tires and trash when colder weather September - December 2024, 30%-50% of design complete. Environmental documentation complete. December 2025, final design complete. Wel have al history oft this trail because there is a long history, we studied, we: researched, and then looked at Tourism and taxes. What might the trail cost? And what about the revenue stream? You have heard some ofthe publics comments and wel have followed up. With the Trail maintenance two questions, who is going to maintain the trail (County/VDOT) and how much isi it going to cost? Wel have a one-mile greenway that opened in 2012, with thel help of volunteer groups and monitoring the techniques for maintenance on the greenway this summer. We can get ai real timel look, today's dollar cost. How it will hold up overtime. Iwas out there today with the volunteers (Pathfinders) There are sections that have not been maintained in 50-60 years, I can assess the Simple mowing and brush removal are thel least expensive trail maintenance. When you get into the heavy lifting, slope failures, box culvert failures that is beyond our capability. We are: not pushing thet trail; we don't want the community to miss an opportunity. Mr. Lipps thanked the board and asked ift there  foot tracks indicate at least ai moderate level ofu use.  returns in the fall.  were any questions.

Mr. Collins updated the Board int the Information section.  HEAR THE PUBLIC  Mr. Spence opened the hear the public at 6:24 pm, first we will hear aj presentation by the Craig Presentation by the Craig County Farmers Committee regarding Land Use Angie Guthrie Potton, Member, Craig County Farmers Committee thanked the board for the opportunity. There will be three presenters tonight, from the last board meeting there were three  County Farmers Committee regarding Land Use.    DRAFT  factors the board was concerned about. How much time devoted to the program, other ways the county can seek revenue and how many current landowners/farmers would qualify for the Time devoted to the program-in the packet from a survey by Virigina Extension program on counties surveyed that usel Land Use. The survey, in hours, showed evaluated time devoted by staff tot the program to: make sure eligibility was being met, 34% dedicated 50 hours a year, 25% 51-100 hours a year and 39% of administration staff dedicated more than 100 house a year. That also depended on how many land/farmers qualified, assessments of propertyleligible land and size of Reached out to the Commissioner of Revenue in Giles County, Land usel has been in use since the 1979, they have an open enrollment from September 1st tol November 1st. They used to do a annual application but now they only do a new application at the time of reassessments. Giles has about 1800 parcels that participate in their Land Use. Takes a couple of weeks for a new application and most of the Commissioner's time toward the program is at the time of reassessment. The Commissioner uses a computer system that is set up tol handle these changes efficiently and rather then in the past when it was done by hand. Another way tol look at this is to take into consideration the farms that are insured. To assess the number of farms that would be used for Land Use. I know the ones that II have insured are producing a commodity or livestock, they would need that policy to protect them. I would say we are looking at about 200 in the county that might be Also, we. looked at three property classes, using the Craig County GIS, we. have class 2, class 5 and class 6. Class 2 in Craig County is a single family on 20 acres or less, without public water or sewer. Class 5 is agriculture or undeveloped, 20 acres to 99.9 acres, tract, piece, or parcel ofl land from 20 to 99.99 acres that does not qualify for any oft the above classifications and Class 6, more than 99.99 acres that does not qualify for any of the above classifications. We would like to also present that we have gotten over a hundred signatures for Land Use. I will not benefit from this program, I am not producing anything, but the people that will benefit are the farmers and landowners in this room and also my family. Iwanted to make sure that future generations such as my child would continue farming in Graig. It is important to preserve this community and keep Craig with an abondance of farmland use for our future. Land Use is the only way we can make  program.  county.  insured that are producing a commodity, have livestock ori into agrotourism.  this happen.  Rebecca Frango, I, like Angie will not be using Land Use because, I only have 8 acres. On the GIS system we narrowed in down to 50 or more acres. 9 out of 10 times those are the producers or land owner with 50-over 100 acres of property that will apply, ift they sO choose. We were able to narrow it down to 363 landowners, with 50 to 199 acres, 40 with 200 to 299 acres and 14 with 300 orr more acres. Now that is based off ofthe Craig County GIS site. Iwould like tol look at his isn a different manner. Yes, we are requesting to put land use into place to preserve our family farms. Yes, we are hoping that adding this deferment will incentivize families to do what they love. Mine, being one of them. But we are also working to extend the learning ability to the students involved in the agriculture program at the school. Without working on farms, they would not have the opportunity to have the hands-on experience as some are receiving now. And, yes, we hope with their education some knowledge they will come back to the county an farm VS going to our neighboring localities where we have spoken to some oft the young farmers. Who say they left to be in neighboring counties because of the taxes are lower. We are working to keep the natural beauty of the county, such as the trail. Ifyou think about it in another way, we arej just 415 farms in the county that could be sold offinto subdivisions. Even into 5-acre parcels. You're looking at    DRAFT  ai mass amount of destruction to our scenic beauty and the county int turn would have to make some mass changes. Ther are five volunteer fire departments, can you imagine the cost to have them paid, You would have to add additional paid staff to the EMS to run seven days a week, 241 hoursa a day. An additional staff would be added in the service department at a cost and changes that would come to our quite community. Iam personally asking that you pass the Land Use in our community, I know I could go on and on with the changes in our community if we lost our resources. ButIam sure that you understand exactly where I come from. And I do hope that I can Mr. Jim Joyce, 1593 Upper Craig Creek Rd.- -The Planning Commission, along with the a technical writer from the Roanoke Alleghany Reginal Commission have been preparing a solar ordinance at the request oft the Board of Supervisors. Criag County is not alone ini this, other counties are trying to get ahead ofs solar generating companies that the Younkin administration to produce more solar generation. Ireceived al letter from one oft these companies, a couple of years ago because Ia am close to the transmission lines. Iwould think the landowners on the western end oft the county will as well. Idon'tknow how well this ordinance will hold up ifo one oft these companies decided to take a shot in Criag County most oft the legal ordinances have passed after interest has been expressed. Probably explains, those letters. Not sure ifv we should rely on our existing ordinance under intent, A1 lands that prohibit uses in agriculture without individual review. Attached at the back of your sheet that Angie just handed you. The Solar ordinance targets those, the very people that have aj proven track record on keeping large energy infrastructure out us oft the county. Several years ago when the Mountain Valley Pipeline planned to come ini much further in the county and their wasn't an ordinance to stop them, it wasn'ts someone in at tree it was ai fact that they couldn't get the signed easements that they needed from the farmers and the land owners. They wanted tol keep their land as it was. Same thing 25 years before that with these high voltage transmission lines. We are willing to go through the effort toj prepare an ordinance to restrict the use oft their land and preserve open spaces. They couldn't get transmission line but these solar ordinances to preserve open spaces but haven'tbeen willing with Land Use. Everyone says, they want to keep open spaces, rolling hills, scenery, and advertising to tourist to come seei it and enjoy falls to the landowner. Shortly after the first draft of the ordinance I was: reading this article in the Roanoke Times, May 25, 2024 Opinion section- Climate Action/Energy Action Plan. The article speaks about funding for local governments on infrastructure. Requires a climate of energy action plan. Mentioned rural areas for Wind/solar regarding energy saving future...can read full article available online. Now shortly after hearing the first draft of the solar ordinance, I read the article at the Planning Commission and the technical writer was nodding her head. Instead ofas solar ordinance why not make an energy action plan instead of an ordinance and turn it into at tool that can unlock funding for the county not something to someone over thel head with. Mr. Collins said the Board of Supervisors requested a solar ordinance not a energy management plan when Iasked him that question. The technical writer said many localities have an both. Understand why, as much as going on in the energy sector a simple ordinance would likely have gaps and would do nothing for the county for funding available. Iheard about this being a funding tool for Henery County and they seem to be doing very well. That area was hard hit for loss oft tax revenue when the furniture plants they relied on for decades closing in the 80's and 90's and the number ofunemployed as ai result oft the closings. They had to reinvent themselves and they have. Ifyou want to see what an energy action plan looks like google Henry County Virginia Energy management plan. Back in April the when the tax rate hearing was held that night, the school budget was presented. The Superintendent had an additional wish list he said he was doing an energy audit, needed a new bus garage. These are projects tailored to ai rural county with a Energy Action plan, might even get an electric bus with a charging station. Now Ididn'ts set out to  count on the Counties' support.    DRAFT  advocate the energy action plan although I do think now is the opportune time to do sO. The point isifwe can afford to adopt this solar ordinance without accompanying an Energy Management Plan essentially saying no to more federal funding then we will possible loss with Land Usei tax deferments. Then how can we: not] help the Farmers an Land Owners to shoulder the burden ofthe solar ordinance. Shist away from away from property tax being the mainstay to support our county budget. Ify you don't like the energy management plan there are over 50 open grants on USDA website specifically for rural communities. Everything tol broadband, law enforcement, education, rural housing, and water management. There are several rural water infrastructure grants on there, we sure could use one of those now couldn'twe. There are three billion dollars in funding available for public/private conservation project through the Biden administration investing in America. 2.6 Billion in carbon capture through the bipartisan infrastructure! law, certainly there should be something there with a county that has 70% trees. The DEQ has several grants too. Most being water related, they have one that is source protected that I would be interested in finding out more about. They had a water source for much oft the state Ic can'ti imagine there would be something to send clean water down the stream. Ispoke to Woody Lipps, outside the Court House several weeks ago. We had a good talk ai meeting, he told me a couple of positive things about the trail and tourism in Craig County. AndItold1 him some things about Land Use that I hoped put his mind somewhat at ease. He told: me that tourism is the future ofCraig County. I agree with that, at lease partially. Ithink we have a little more to offer. Thing about tourism is youi need something to tour. It's in the very definition, people aren'tinterested in touring a subdivision, they can see that at home, or a field full ofs solar panels either. They want to see open meadows, live stock grazing, babies playing in the sun and hay going up in the summer time. They want to see creeks and trees, at least that is thel kind ofs stuffI want to look at. The county is doing aj pretty good job of promoting tourism it seems wel have provisions for tourism and trails in the Comprehensive Plan, wel have the Farmers Market and other sites being promoted and we. have even started to advertise. How can we promote tourism and: not incentivize preservation ofwhat tourist come to see. Woody said something else that I agree 100% with, we. have this huge population in the New River and Roanoke Valley. Hel has number on all that, hel has done his homework. The Tourism folks are. lucky tol have him. Blacksburg, Salem, Roanoke, Botetourt, all want aj place to see, and we can be that place. Ofmoney being brought in from outside the county. Whether iti is tourism dollars or an energy action plan, we need to start looking outside the county for revenue. There are less than 5,000 people in Craig County less than halfo oft those are real estate tax payers. Farmers, Land owners, and residential owners, put them all in the same basket. You can only squeeze that turnup sO much. Even with inflated housing values, and the lack ofLand Use deferment on agricultural land, the currant system cannot bei faced with cost of County government. We have got tol break the cycle of] lining the county budget with the tax intact and actively seek out other revenue sources that are there. Ifyou choose vote not to adopt Land Use, and someone asks you why, tell them that 79 counties or al 113 counties and localities are wrong. And what we are doing is much better, or our Farmers don't deserve to be on a level playing field with other counties. But don'ttell them we don'ti need it, because we do. And don't tell them we can't afford it because there is no way to replace the funds because there is.  Anyway, any questions for me?  Mr. Spence asked if anyone would like to address thel board or comment for Hear the Public. Nan Grey, 6650 Happy Hollow Road- Newport Virginia, I am in Craig County. I appreciate everyone looking into Land Use classification and how it applies to the people of Craig County.    DRAFT  We are Silver Lining Farm, a one-acre asparagus crop, local mountain grown. It'sal high dollar crop, intentionally because it's a superfood, and a special food. We are only one acre with at total acreage of3 36 acres. Ithink a farm is classified of producing a thousand dollars a year and we area permaculture. Ithink all this is wel havel high quality soil, water and way oflife. A reasonable way to do that is toj protect our farm land as well as our forest land. It's a whole system and we are  healthier fori it.  Jason Sarine, 8873 Peacefull Valley Road-Anyone who knows me. knows that I am vehemently against taxation. Ithink therei is al better way than using acts of coercion and threats of violence. Myb background, In moved here two years ago, where I came from, wel had a similar program it was called clean green. The county was experiencing serious revitalization, building inj population and demanding more and: morei resources. The clean and Green program helped offset land use desire tos sell off property toj pay ever increasing property taxes. More people more cost. Necessary with a100,000 plus population and it was feasible. That is al lot of] people to redistribute the loss of revenue. Ilook forward to today and I find myselfin a different situation. A sparsely populated county there are: no fast-food restaurants, no traffic lights, no neighborhood congestion and the loss of green space that accompanies these things. My kitchen table math, wel have a 5,000 population with 2,0001 households and the ones that would qualify, have more. land, higher tax bills. The county could face a significant budget shortfall. Can we eat that revenue loss, everyone on the Board except for Labiosa voted to raise taxes. Here is how I see, in the county with this population and land use scenario, people will either with large assets, a large track ofland can't participate or chose to participate. For their own: reasons, what if you move: in a couple of years and want to sell, you would be owing back taxes. Itisb bad enough that wel have ridiculous tax assessments processes inj place that necessitate and now we want to add more bureaucracy and red tape to maintain this program Iam saying this as a Farmer who could benefit from this program. Idon't take it lightly. Ifthe pro land use people would like to get involved with me and lock arms together, tol lower taxes for everyone, great! Ijust don't think it is right to give to certain groups. As Benjamin Franklin said, "We1 must, indeed, all hang together or most assuredly we shall all  hang separately".  Stephen Edwards, 1004 Craig Woods Road- Mr. Edwards gave al brief! history, aj private mountain subdivision, ini the Craig Woods subdivision, stablished in 2001, recently zoned rural residential with covenants and restrictions, with one particular covenant that established the use of these lots residential use only. Iown a home and twol lots, Iwant to talk speak about a tattoo parlor that is being operated in our subdivision. Iwant to reference the Department ofProfessional and Occupational Regulation statutes regarding tattooing, and I commend and applaud anyone getting al license from DPOR. Iwant to share with you 18 vac 41-50-390 Physical Facilities paragraph- A. Aj parlor or salon must be in a permanent building or portion ofal building, which must be in a location permissible under local zoning codes, if any. Ifa applicable, the parlor or salon shall be separated from any living quarters by complete floor to ceiling partitioning and shall contain no Now Ia am going to switch over to Craig County Administration receiving a request for a Home Occupation request, for a tattoo parlor under this classification, with the following response to the from Craig County Administration. On February 22nd, 2024 it authorizes the tattooer the Home Occupation to conduct business in the dwelling unit but not to exceed 25 percent oft the square footage oft that dwelling unit. And then there was also a comment int there about the use ofan  access to living quarters.  accessory building for home occupation is not permitted.    DRAFT  Now Iam going to jump back to DPOR under paragraph D. Work surfaces shall be cleaned with a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered, hospital grade disinfectant. Surfaces that come: in contact withl blood or other body fluids shall bei immediately disinfected with an EPA registered germicide solution. Appropriate personal protective equipment shall be worn during cleaning and disinfecting procedures. Further down and under the' Tattooer Responsibility 18 VAC41-50-400: D. All tattooers must wear single-use examination gloves while assembling tattooing instruments and while tattooing. Paragraph I.

Paragraph J.I Ifshaving is required, razors shall be single use.. After use, razors shall be recapped and properly disposed of. Paragraph L. Multiuse instruments, equipment, furniture, and surfaces that may be contaminated during the tattooing process should be covered or wrapped in a nonporous disposable barrier. This barrier should be removed and disposed ofa after each service. Paragraph N. A set ofindividual, sterilized needles shall be used for each client. Single-use disposable instruments shall be disposed ofin aj puncture resistant container. Paragraph X. Contaminated disposable and single-use items shall be disposed ofin accordance with federal and state: regulations regarding disposal ofbiological hazardous Now Iam going to switch over to the Craig County Transfer entrance, there is a 4x 8 sign, listing numerous items not accepted, hazardous waste is listed and medical waste: inl listed. A questioning attitude would be, where are thel byproducts oft the tattooing and thei tattoo artist being disposed of, containing the blood borne pathogens and sharps. Iconsidered it a privilege to dispose ofmy trash and the Craig County Transfer Station and do not want the facility to close because of The residential lots are on conventional septic systems and or system. Bacteria live ini these septic tanks and break down the solids delivered from the home. Hospital grade disinfectants are designed tol kill bacteria. This Tattoo parlor adjoins a tributary that flows directly into Johns Creek. Point source monitoring can be conducted and determine exactly where the contamination ise entering from on. Johns Creek ifit's] polluted. A questioning attitude would be again, is/has this residential drain field now been compromised, not operating as it should under the Virginia Health Department permit and potentially polluting Johns Creek. On April 24th, 2024, the Tattoo Artist rescinded his request to Craig County Administration to operate at tattoo parlor as a home occupation. He even posted ai notice on a tree that the parlor was closed. However social media platforms prove otherwise, there are: numerous images oftattoo work and chair availability posted signifying that the tattoo parlor operation continues and desires to continue. And the Tattoo Parler in operating in a assessor building next to thei residence. Those postings were still up on social media prior to this meeting. Ipersonally believe that Craig County should execute all authority availablei to close this tattoo parlor from operating in ai rural residential neighborhood.  materials.  irresponsible dumping.  Susan Edwards, 1004 Craig Woods Rd - Regarding the waste from the tattoo activity. This is by DEQ State Regulation, a regulated medical waste. Iti is codified in the State of Virginia as needing to bei regulated. DEQ does have enforcement ift the county needs assistance. Within the state regulation 9 VAC20-121 Virginia Regulated Medical Waste regulations, in the definitions they specify what kind ofwaste are: regulated medical waste and not just solid waste which our transfer station is covered to operate as a transfer station. The following types ofsolid waste must be managed as ai regulated medical waste and ai number ofbullets are. listed. But specifically, contaminated sharps and unabsorbed human blood or body fluids from cosmetology, piercings, nails, and tattoo establishments. Then you go down to the part that specialty talks about not every    DRAFT  waste associated with a tattoo establishment is a regulated medical waste. Especially, certain solids do not have to be managed as ai regulated medical waste and one oft those exceptions is the sharps and unabsorbed human blood and body fluids from tattooing. Now the regs, you don't have to get aj permit, but you have to document how you are managing the disposal oft that waste and keepi it for three years and make those records available. Itthis tattooist doing this stuff? Has anyone considered looking into that? The tattoo facility is a generator of medical waste and there is an administrative code that goes into the kind ofr record keeping that must bei maintained. Iwould be willing to talk with you all about what is required and who to talk to at the DEQ office. That is not where I work with DEQ but there are specific things with that type ofactivity. The tattoo artist that is licensed by the state should be complying with. This is not a routine home occupation iti is a licensed procedure involving medical activity. A biological activity with potential blood borne  pathogens and use ofs sharps. Thank you for your time.  Chelsea Blankenship, A couple of comments regarding Land Use. She feels that this is drawing a line in the sand segregating onej population from another. That one is more: important than the other. Ifit passes or not passes, Iencourage all our owners to promote agrotourism. Start with the schools, be apart ofit, be down there, support FFA, open your farms up to tours. Let people see what wel have. We want toj protect it/preserve it but let the public know why it is sO important, why do wei need tol have agriculture, people can see where their food source comes from, our environment. Kinda robbing Peter to pay Paul to get funding from somewhere else. Thank you. Robert Coulter, Meadow Creek- Ihave attended several meetings with the Farmers Committee. I am: not a native, but the majority of people don'tknow that... because they weren'tborn beforel moved here. There is a 200-year tradition of farming the land here in Craig County. He would likei to seei it continue. Concerned that with the recent reassessment, farmers will be: forced to sell there farms. Hei reminded the board ofwhy Land use was created, since the 1970's and used slow development and protect farming. Hei used Botetourt County, and north of Charlottesville that used to be horse county all has gone to developers. Cows don'tr require services, people require services. Hel believes in sharing the burden for schools, emergency services, and that great things are happening in the County. He said that his land has doubled, ifit was only 30 percent we would bel having this conversation. Every surrounding county uses Land Use for their farmers and  has asked the Board to support Land Use.

DRAFT  Broadband  Trace Bellassai    DRAFT  Preserve Craig  MVP Update  By Bill Wolfe    DRAFT  Craig Valley Scenic  Trail  Update By Woody Lipps    DRAFT  Board of Supervisors Briefing, August 2024 Craig Valley Railroad Bed Committee  How much use will the trail get?  Trail use largely depends on two factors; traili features and proximity to population. Tunnels, bridges, rivers and creeks, views, history, length, shade, support services and trail surface are all attractive features along a rail trail. Rural trails are attractive because oft theirs setting. Longer trails tend to attract visitors from further away who are likelyt to make an overnight stayi in the area. Unique communities with other attractions tend to make at trail more popular. The closer at trail is to ap population center, the larger  VEWO CASTLE  the pool of potential visitors.  The CBST doesn't have any tunnels, buti it does have eight old railroad bridges. In Craig County the grade crosses two minor streams. In Botetourt Countyi it crosses Craig Creek and the James River. One bridge is now listed int the National Register of Historic Places and a second is eligible.  Similar to most rail trails, the CBST does pass through private land and close to some homes. Ac couple sections of gravel road connect more traditional sections of trail. These road: sections may not be attractive to some trail users, but they are being used currently by some people who ride horses and others riding bicycles. Along its length the CBST remains a rural experience offering a variety including  shady sections through forests and views ofi the mountains across pastures.    DRAFT  New Castle is certainly a unique community and one thati is close to as substantial population. Craig County has long played host to visitors going back to the days oft the mineral springs. Numerous folks have come to hunt here over the years and the development in Paint Bank currently attracts both day-use and overnight visitors. New Castle features al Historic District, farmers market and1 the annual Falll Festival. There are existing business establishments in New Castle, and around Craig County, to support thet trail.  The Craig Valley Branch Line became aj public transportation corridor in 1961 andi the corridor still exists today. Several sections are in routine use byl horseback: and bicycle riders as well as pedestrians. Most of this use is byl local people but the rail bed does currently attract: some use from outside our area.  While the Craig Botetourt Scenic Trail has a number features to attract visitors, it does not directly compare to the Virginia Creeper Trail, the New River Trail or the Blue Ridge Tunnel Trail. The features, current services available, and proximity to population suggest that maintenance andi improvements to the railroad bed willi increase visitation to some moderate level of use. This use willl be moret than we see now, but is expected to be less than trails like The Creeper, New River, or Blue Ridge Tunnel receive.
