RE: UPDATE ON COVID-19  Ms. Meador gave an update on the local and regional statistical data of the numbers of COVID cases, hospitalizations and fatalities. We are showing an increase of22 new cases, 2 new hospitalization and 2 new deaths since our last update. Approximately 54.6 percent of our community has had at least one dose and 49 percent have been fully vaccinated. The Blue Ridge Health District has started breaking out their data for the "adult population" and those percentages show adults with at least one dose is 66.6 percent and adults that are fully vaccinated at 60.6 percent. Blue Ridge Health District is working on some new strategies for testing and vaccine sites as some are showing low numbers. They should have an announcement of new plans in the near future. They are planning to be present at the Livestock Show to administer vaccines. Mr.  Martin remarked that the numbers for the adult population are very promising.  Mr. Taylor asked if he could have the floor for just a moment while Ms. Meador was still at the podium. He told the Board that Ms. Meador was, today, the recipient of the Thomas Jefferson EMS Council's 2021 Regional Award for Outstanding EMS Leadership. She was nominated by her peers for her work during the pandemic and for developing and implementing the Greene County EMS Department. As a regional winner of this award, she will be judged, at the state level, in the Governor's EMS Awards later this year. He said that we are exceedingly  proud and congratulated Ms. Meador.  Ms. Meador thanked Mr. Taylor for his kind words. She took a moment to explain a situation that took place in which an incident was dispatched for a cardiac related event in Ruckersville. Our two units were committed to other calls when this call came out. Dispatch had asked for mutual aid but was denied by Madison, Orange and Albemarle Counties. Ms. Meador responded and found a patient that was rapidly deteriorating. Supervisor Anderegg arrived on scene and they decided to medivac the patient by Pegasus, which was out of service. Pegasus Ground unit had an ETA of forty minutes. Supervisors Anderegg said they had to get the patient tot the hospital as soon as possible, SO they decided to transport the patient in Ms. Meador's county vehicle to meet a rescue squad unit that was headed back into the County. This is a violation of the Virginia OEMS rules and regulations. You are not supposed to transport a patient in a non- transport vehicle. There was an anonymous complaint made to the Office ofEMS. Itis currently under review. We may receive a citation. The patient was released from the hospital intensive care unit six days later and had been diagnosed with a heat stroke. The mortality rate for a heat stroke is forty percent. This rate jumps to eighty percent with treatment delays. Mr. Anderegg for their decision toj put the patient first.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM ELKAY PARTNERS, LLC FOR A REZONE FROM B-2TOB-30F A 5.43-ACRE PARCEL IDENTIFIED AS TMP# 38- Mr. Frydl explained the rezoning request from Elkay Partners, LLC located at 9661 Spotswood Trail from B-2 to B-3. The property is an office building with some Marehousimemanuhcturimg space in the back. B-3 would be a wider use for this type ofbuilding. Itisi in an area that already has B-3 properties around it. A change to B-3 zoning means that all B- land B-2 uses are by-right, as well. There were: no comments from Erosion and Sediment Control or Emergency Services. The Comprehensive Plan encourages mixed-use development in this area. Staff is supportive of this request. The Planning Commission recommended approval with a 5-0  (A)-72 AND IS LOCATED AT9661 SPOTSWOODTRAIL  vote oft this rezone as presented by the applicant.  The public hearing was opened and closed with no comments. Mr. Herring said that this rezone makes sense as presented.  Mr. Lamb asked if the rezone created any additional impacts. Mr. Frydl said it does not. Mr. Martin said that this is a key parcel in the Stanardsville area. He feels that the owners have done a good job and that this decision would support economic growth in the area.    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Page 5  Ms. Durrer and Mr. Bowman agree.  Upon motion by Marie Durrer, second by Dale Herring and unanimous roll call vote, the Board approved the request from Elkay Partners, LLC to rezone TMP# 38-(A)-72 from B-2 to B-  3.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM GREENE MOUNTAIN LAKEABNB, ICLUCASANDCAITN HOGE REQUEST. A SPECIAL USEI PERMIT: FOR TOURIST LODGING ON APPROXIMATELY 0.52 OF AN ACRE LOCATED IN GREENE MOUNTAIN LAKES SUBDIVISION AT 560 AND 560B SUNSET DRIVE, STANARDSVILLE, IDENTIFIED ON COUNTYTAX MAPSAS37C-938. (SUP#21-005) Mr. Frydl explained that Lucas and Caitlin Hoge have requested a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Tourist Lodging as listed in Article 5-1-2.4 in the Greene County Zoning Ordinance on approximately 0.52 of an acre, zoned R-1, Residential that is located in Greene Mountain Lakes Subdivision at 560 and 560B Sunset Drive, Stanardsville. The property is identified on County Tax Maps as 37C-(9)-38. The Greene County Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map designates this parcel as "Rural Area". Mr. Frydl showed many photos of the property. He said that the Comprehensive Plan supports this application. The impacts have been reviewed and the applicant has provided conditions to address thej possible impacts. Those conditions are as follows:  a. 12 adults maximum. shall be permitted. vacationer.  b. 1p parking space per bedroom; 5 total  C. No events such as weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or other similar activities d. 3-night minimum and 21-day maximum to prevent weekenders and extended stay e. We will commit to meet with our neighbors in 544 and 555 Sunset Drive to discuss landscape improvements to the immediate area around our home and cul-de-sac to address To retain the character of the neighborhood and to ensure public, safety, and welfare the Planning Commission recommended to deny (4-1 vote) the proposed tourist lodging at the June  any. joint concerns.  16th public hearing. said there are three.  Mr. Herring asked how many Airbnb's are currently in Greene Mountain Lake. Mr. Frydl    Board of Supervisors July 13,2021 Page 6  Mr. Bowman asked how the Special Use Permit conditions are enforced when there is no SUP in place versus when there is an SUP in place with conditions. Mr. Frydl said that the enforcement is the same for each situation. The Planning and Zoning Department works on a complaint basis. The Hoge's did not know that they needed a SUP and were operating without one. The Planning and Zoning Department: received a complaint, which theyi investigated and tried  to determine the best way to come into compliance.  Mr. Martin asked if staff knew whether there are covenants and restrictions in place that states anything about Airbnb or rental properties. Mr. Frydl said that the letter that was received from the developer of the subdivision was cautiously written to state that he didn't believe it was the intent oft the development, but neither did he want to stop anyone from doing what they wanted to with their property. The County does not have any authority where covenants and restrictions are concerned. Those are usually more strictly written than the County Code and are only enforceable by the Circuit Court. Mr. Martin said that he believes that deeded restrictions trump Zoning Ordinances. Ms. Kemp said that, from a Zoning perspective, covenants and restrictions would not be relevant to the County when enforcing a violation. The home-owners group would  be the appropriate party to enforce those restrictions.  Mr. Hoge addressed the Board by saying that he did not envy the decision that they had to make tonight that would impact many good people. He said that many of the residents of the lake had stated that they would like to sign the petitions, both for and against, this Special Use Permit just sO they would be left alone. The petitions can not be compared fairly because ofthis. He said that they had tried to contact their neighbors many times with no response. He said that a Special Use Permit would put limits on things like the number of people, cars and lengths of stay the other homes don'th have to abide by. Mr. Hoge spoke oft the lack ofharmony between his neighbors. He talked about the benefits to the community his Airbnb offered such as the revenue brought to the County with the purchase ofentertainment, food and groceries, as well as the support ofother local businesses. He asked that the Board vote tonight based on the merits presented and logic, not based on the emotions of the most opinionated or the hysteria they have tried to establish.  Mr. Martin asked Mr. Hoge about the complaints that he was aware ofs specific tot the guests in his home. Mr. Hoge said that he was made aware during the Planning Commission meeting that someone had walked across his neighbor's yard to access the beach. He also had a guest that had al birthday party and the Sheriff's Office was called because they were still outside as 10:00 p.m. approached. The guest said that they quieted down as soon as they were asked and stated that  the Deputy said there was not enough noise to elicit a citation.  Mr. Herring asked Mr. Hoge how many stays hel has had in the past six months. Mr. Hoge said approximately thirty. Mr. Herring asked that, out of those thirty stays, has he only received  those two complaints, that he knows of. Mr. Hoge said yes.  Ms. Durrer asked Mr. Hoge approximately how many days oft the year does his family live inl his home in Greene Mountain Lake. Mr. Hoge said that they purchased the home in November,    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Page 7  rented it out some during the holidays and then were home from February to March. He stated  that they do travel more than they are home.  Mr. Lamb asked Mr. Hoge what his primary address is. He replied it was this property. Mr. Lamb asked if he owned other properties and Mr. Hoge said yes. Mr. Lamb asked if these were: in tourist registries or tourist zones. Mr. Hoge said they are all permitted where they need to  be.  Mr. Martin thanked Mr. Hoge and opened the Public Hearing. There were sixteen people Those that spoke against approval of the SUP addressed the following topics:  that spoke.  a. Detriment to neighbor's equity b. Too much traffic in a residential neighborhood Privately maintained road and water system d. Non-residents walking through the neighborhood Tourist lodging saturation for the area House is too large on a small loti in ai narrow cul-de-sac SUP stays with property for perpetuity No enforcement mechanisms by County Parking on the street Tourist lodging should not be allowed in R-1 Trespassing  Noise  m. Tonight's decision will set aj precedent for future applications  Those that spoke for the approval of the SUP addressed the following topics: a. Hoge' s are entrepreneurial and looking for al better future for their family Airbnb has a strong vetting service pertaining to their guests  b. Hoge's show good integrity Provides jobs  d. Good fort the economics of our community Property manager is available 24-7  Prime location because itl borders only one other home h. Hoge's should not be penalized because of previous owner's behavior Airbnb reviews show iti is families that visit  There were also several letters and emails received, both in support ofapproval and denial  of this SUP.  The Public Hearing was closed.    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Page 8  Mr. Lamb said that he was conveying a statement by Mrs. Burkholder, that could not be Mr. Herring said there are three permitted Airbnb's in Greene Mountain Lake and three hundred seventeen homes equating to 0.95 percent of the properties being Airbnb. Mr. Frydl said there is another one coming to the Planning Commission next week and another that they have received a complaint on about running an unpermitted Airbnb. Mr. Herring clarified that all  present tonight, saying that she would like to ask the Board to deny this SUP.  special use permits do stay with the property and not the owner.  Mr. Martin asked Mr. Hoge if he would like to respond to comments made during the Public Hearing. He thanked all speakers for their comments. He said there is a lack of communication which is leading to a lot ofmisunderstanding: about this SUP. He said that he will continue to Airbnb his property regardless of the outcome of tonight's meeting because he does not need a permit for rentals longer than thirty days. He said that this SUP would actually help to mitigate a lot of the concerns of his neighbors, but without it, there are not limits placed on the number of guests or number or cars allowed. He said that their house was marketed as an Airbnb  when they purchased it.  Mr. Martin said that the Board created this ordinance because ofdemand by the community and it follows State and Federal laws. He said that we welcome the extra revenue from tourist dollars and that this use does fit our Comprehensive Plan, but that this is a work-in-progress: here, as it is all over the world. He said that, in regards to the covenants and restrictions, homeowners should be sure to read them when they buy their property and they should continue to try to talk it out with the home-owners association when there is conflict. It is easy to lay blame on the government regarding enforcement but the communities need to look at themselves, as well. Mr. Lamb said that when there were B&B'soriginally, the primary owner had to be living in the residence when operating the B&B. He thinks these properties are getting out of hand. People's homes are their biggest purchase of their lives and they should not have to lose equity  because of neighbors choosing to Airbnb their homes.  Mr. Bowman said that he's always been a big proponent of property rights, but he also Ms. Durrer agrees with Mr. Bowman. She said that when you buy your home, you buy into the community. You don't want to have different neighbors every weekend. She also will  feels strongly about strong neighborhoods, SO he will vote against this SUP.  not support this application.  Mr. Herring asked if you could set a limit as far as the number of years a SUP could last. Ms. Kemp said that you cannot. He also asked if you could set a condition on a SUP that it would be surrendered when the property changed hands. Ms. Kemp said no, it runs with the land.    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Page 9  Mr. Martin said he is a big supporter of reasonable, rational tourist lodging applications. He said that these applications in R-1 settings are particularly troublesome. He is a firm believer inj property rights until they infringe on others property. He said that he pays close attention to adjacent property owners during public hearings. Ini this case, this particular property isi not a good fit for an under thirty-day rental because it will change the character oft the neighborhood and the harmony of the community. He will not support this application, but he does support the Hoge's right to continue to rent their property out for thirty days and more because that is the law. He does believe we need to revisit the Zoning Ordinance for residential areas to try to make some  smart solutions.  Upon motion by Steve Bowman, second by Marie Durrer and unanimous vote, the Board  voted to deny SUP#21-005. (See Attachment "D")  Recorded vote:  Bill Martin Marie Durrer Steve Bowman Dale Herring Davis Lamb  Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes  Motion carried.  The Board took a five-minute recess.  RE: RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO AMEND THE GREENE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR SENIOR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES - JIM FRYDL, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING Mr. Frydl explained that the Greene County Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of1.5 parking spaces per senior residential unit. This parking requirement is only mentioned in Article 6A which is the Senior Residential, SR zoning district. The general Minimum Off-Street Parking requirements listed in Article 16-8 do not include any specific mention of Senior Restricted parking. Staff would like review, with the intent to update, Article 16-8 to include the parking standards for senior restricted parking spaces that are located outside of the SR zoning district. Any recommended changes would be reviewed during advertised hearings at both the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. This resolution provides staff the authority to begin the  public process with the Planning Commission.  Upon motion by Steve Bowman, second by Marie Durrer and unanimous vote, the Board voted to approve the resolution ofi intent to amend the Zoning Ordinance. (See Attachment "E")  Recorded vote:  Bill Martin Marie Durrer Steve Bowman Dale Herring Davis Lamb  Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Page 10  Motion carried.  RE: UPDATE ON BROADBAND GRANT OPPORTUNITIES  Mr. Fryd! explained that the Board of Supervisors has an approved MOU with Firefly for af feasibility study for Broadband. The current proposed coverage area is roughly from Quinque west. There has been some updated talk that they could cover all the households in the community with the help of an approved Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) Grant.  The Board had previously approved Fiberlync to apply for a Department of Commerce Grant for a particular area that is unserved in Greene Landing off of Wilhoits Mill. There is a resolution of support to go along with this grant. They have also asked about the possibility of  applying for a VATIGrant for a larger coverage around that same area.  The Greene County Broadband Committee is reviewing an application to cover all unserved homes in Greene County. The application is currently in the discovery and planning  stages and is due by July 27, 2021.  Mr. Herring said that for the Firefly option, the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission has agreed to administer the grant for CVEC meaning that they will process one application for all of the localities. Shentel Beam Technology, which the Board approved the tower for, now has service up and running. Another provider is interested and has requested additional information. Mr. Frydl said the Beam Technology is also looking into another tower  on Carpenter Mill Road which would cover a four-mile radius around it.  Upon motion by Dale Herring, second from Ms. Durrer and unanimous vote, the Board voted to approve the resolution of support for the broadband grant applications. (See Attachment  "F")  Recorded vote:  Bill Martin Marie Durrer Steve Bowman Dale Herring Davis Lamb  Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes  Motion carried.  RE: BOARDLIAISON REPORTS  Mr. Herring said that Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission has started their search for a new director. They are doing an independent search and also going through an RFP  process for an agency sO as toi not lose time if their search is not fruitful.    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Page 11  Mr. Martin thanked the Stanardsville 4tho ofJuly Committee for an excellent celebration. It  made the community very proud.  RE: COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR UPDATE  Mr. Taylor gave an update on the future of Greene County' 's water and sewer. The Circuit Court Judge Claude V. Worrell has ruled that the facility fees charged were not an impermissible tax. RSA's Plea in Bar has been denied. The facility fee was discontinued by RSA on July 16, 2020. The facility fee would generate approximately $3,500 per day or approximately $100,000 per month ini revenue. This loss impacted Greene Counties capacity to make debt service payments on the borrowing we already have out on water infrastructure for our community. Mr. Taylor recapped what has already been agreed between the RSA partners about the departure of Greene County. Mr. Taylor showed a map ofthe RSA water system in Greene County and al listing oft the inventory they own that will come to us when we become the service provider. He also showed the map of the sewer system within Greene County, as well as the inventory list to go along with that part of the service. Mr. Taylor said he has been in contact with the Department of Environmental Quality on the sewer side and the Virginia Department of Health on the water side concerning the transfer oft those permits from RSA to Greene County. He said that we expect that all RSA assets, including the administration building on Route 33, will be transferred to Greene County. Mr. Taylor said that Greene County is entitled to receive Greene County's proportional share of the RSA cash reserves according to the customer base. According to RSA's figures, the portion oftheir debt that is allocable to Greene County is $154,962. That is al huge fact and a small number because Greene County has already assumed, years ago, all of RSA's debt for improvements in our community besides this amount. We will need to satisfy Virginia Resource Authority that we will pay this debt by writing them a check and asking them to hold it until it is due or make some other arrangements with them. Greene County's proportionate share ofRSA's cash reserve is $2,618,780. Our facility feel losses, through September 30, 2021, total $1,780,500. We expect that RSA would also pay that in order to make us whole after the damage they did by suspending the facility fee. Upon Greene County's withdrawal from RSA, we expect to receive $4,399,280. Otherwise in the process, we are accepting proposals seeking a contract operator for the operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities in Greene County. We are planning to set up a county department with a separate enterprise fund, which means it will be a separate accounting unit within our local government. Wehad hoped for a more amicable dialogue regarding our withdrawal in which we could transfer water and sewer plant operators to our employment, but at this point, we are seeking a contract operator that can do this work forus. Mr. Taylor has also discussed, with Davenport, the future of our rates and we: fully expect that Greene County Water and Sewer will be able to operate at the same rates that Greene County customers have been paying to RSA. Stantec will be coming before the Board on August 10, 2021 to share  the findings oft their rate study.  Mr. Lamb and Mr. Bowman thanked Mr. Taylor and Mr. Martin for carrying the Board's message regarding these issues. Mr. Martin also said that our Attorneys have been wonderful to work with. Mr. Taylor said that the Board's unity and leadership has been remarkable.    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Page 12  RE: OTHER ITEMS FROM BOARD MEMBERS  Mr. Bowman has asked that we revisit the EMS incident that was talked about earlier. He said the one of the problematic issues was the communication between the paramedics and the hospital. He would like the County Administrator to write a letter to UVA and Martha Jefferson about the need for better voice, data and video communications between an EMS provider in the  field and the hospitals. RE: ADJOURN Board meeting was adjourned. Recorded vote:  Upon motion by Steve Bowman, second by Dale Herring and unanimous roll call vote, the  Bill Martin Marie Durrer Steve Bowman Dale Herring Davis Lamb  Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes  Motion carried.  Waih haf- William Bryan/ Martin, Chair Greene County Board of Supervisors  Mark B. Taylor, Clerk Greene County Board of Supervisors    Board of Supervisors July 13, 2021 Attachment A  The Greene County Board of Supervisors acknowledge that the EMS incident at the Market on July 6 at 4:50 pm was unusual and required the use of goodjudgement. When Ms. Meador and Mr. Anderegg exhausted all transportation options - Greene County, Madison County, Orange County, Albemarle County, and Pegasus air and ground units - they put the patient's care first and transported the patient 1 in Ms. Meador's command vehicle part way to the hospital with Mr. Anderegg  maintaining patient care. The patient was transferred to a Greene County ambulance returning from the hospital who then completed the transport to the hospital. The Board of Supervisors strongly support the decision made, even though a technical violation of State Office of Emergency Medical Services regulations occurred, because it was in the best interest  ofthe patient at the time.
