RE: MATTERS FROM THE PUBLIC  Mr. Vernon Taylor was recently issued a tax bill for a vehicle he had sold in February and still has to pay taxes on it through the end of the year. Asa7 72-year-old veteran, he was unaware that he may have been eligible for tax exemptions or relief. He respectfully recommended that the county consider changes to the property tax system to address issues of fairness and transparency. Taylor stated it is critical the county fairly and equitably identifies and assesses revenue sources in accordance with state laws and county regulations. Hei requested the board look at adjusting the  personal property tax system to better serve the interests of residents.  Ms. Mallory Lamb began by commending the board for the work they have done to put citizen input into action and make difficult decisions over the past few months. She stated that citizens appreciate the board taking back control. he main issue Lamb addressed was the county office building remaining locked for the past 4 years since the COVID-19 pandemic. Lamb stated that the building should be available to citizens during business hours without having to stand at a propped open door or use aj phone on the wall. Lamb argued that the excuses given for keeping the building locked, such as COVID-19 concerns or safety issues, are no longer valid. She suggested the county could install plexiglass dividers in each department for safety if needed. Lamb expressed concern that keeping thel building locked forces citizens to drop off personal information in unsecured bins outside, putting them at risk of identity theft. She urged the board to make a motion and vote to unlock the office doors, stating that staff does not make that decision, the board  does.  Ms. Jennifer Lewis-Fowler gave a "shout out" to Mike Taylor and Cathy Schafrik for removing the two trailers that had been behind the courthouse for almost 4 years. She reminded everyone that early voting for the upcoming election starts on September 20th. The registrar's office will be open Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm, with extended hours on two Thursdays in October. She expressed hope that she would see all the board members come out to vote during  the early voting period.  Mr. Bill Zutt said that he has sent three emails to the Planning Commission regarding the 439-unit Blue Ridge Meadows subdivision application, raising concerns that it failed to certify adequate public water and sewer services. Zutt asked whether approving the subdivision would obligate the county to provide the necessary water and sewer facilities at taxpayer expense, and suggested the county's legal counsel should be consulted. Zutt requested the Planning Commission hold a public hearing on the project, as authorized by their bylaws, but was told he was "out of    Board of Supervisors August 27, ,2024 Sheet 4  order" when he asked about a public hearing. Zutt noted that months ago he had asked the Board of Supervisors to require public hearings on major subdivisions and site plans, but this had not been done. Zutt expressed concern that the Planning Commission approved the subdivision without considering the legal implications and potential taxpayer liability of approving a project  without available public water and sewer.  Ms. Gwen Baker was present via Zoom, and she noted that on the county website, the minutes for the EDA and' Tourism Council sections have not been posted since February. She also mentioned that for the June Tourism Council meeting minutes, the link to access them does not work. Baker asked someone from the Board to take a look at Route 609 (Fredericksburg Road) between Toms Road and Route 29. She stated that new houses are being built, increasing construction traffic, and the road has become very narrow and dangerous, with overgrown vegetation. Baker requested the Board address the issues with Route 609 and ensure the road is RE: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST FROM CARL R. BEARD REV LIVING TRUST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A FARM WINERY WITH STRUCTURES LARGER THAN4.000 SQUARE FEETLOCATED AT 12955DYKE ROAD Ms. Golon provided an overview of the county's 2015 ordinance that allowed additional agricultural tourism uses on farms, including things like events, farm stands, and wineries. She explained that the only aspect of the Beard Mountain Vineyards proposal that requires a special use permit is the proposed structure larger than 4,000 square feet associated with the agricultural tourism use. Stephanie reviewed the zoning oft the property, showing it is zoned A-1 and C-1, and isl located in a rural area per the county's comprehensive plan. She noted that through the special use permit process, the county can place conditions on the use to address specific impacts, such as maintaining the residential character of the area. Stephanie summarized the key components of the concept plan, including the proposed 16,000 square foot event center and 10,000 square foot tasting room/production building. She stated the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the special use permit, with some proposed conditions related to aesthetics,  properly maintained and safe for the increased traffic.  stormwater, and landscaping.  Ms. Amanda Wyatt Walker, Mr. Beard's Executive Assistant, was present to share some background into Beard Mountain Vineyards. The Beard family has been residents of Northern Virginia since the 1940s, and Carl Beard's father relocated to Albemarle County in the 1970s. Carl Beard purchased the property in 2020, envisioning a local vineyard with on-site production and tasting areas. To complement the farm winery, they are proposing to incorporate an event center focused primarily on hosting weddings. Haley Beard, Carl's daughter, owns a successful event planning business and is excited tol bring her expertise to the family's farm winery location. Walker stated the goal is to create a year-round attraction that the local and wine communities will embrace. Walker briefly reviewed the project timeline, noting they met with staffin. January 2024 to introduce the project and then refined the designs before submitting the special use permit application in February 2024. She introduced representatives from Bowman Consulting Group who have provided planning, engineering, and landscape services for the project.    Board of Supervisors August 27, 2024 Sheet 5  Mr. Brad Gladfelter, PE, Bowman, was present to provide additional details on the proposed site and layout for the Beard Mountain Vineyards project. The 30-acre site will include approximately 30 acres of vineyards, a 16,000+ square foot principal event building, aj production and tasting room building, a maintenance building, and parking for around 150 vehicles. The event building was specifically oriented to take advantage of the views between the mountain peaks. Significant buffering and screening with existing and new vegetation was incorporated into the design. Mr. Brad compared the scale oft thej proposed buildings to other local agricultural buildings and premier wedding venues in the region, stating the size is consistent with industry standards. He explained the rationale for the 16,000+ square foot event building, showing how it could accommodate seating for 300 guests, a dance floor, catering facilities, and bridal/groom suites. Mr. Brad contrasted the permanent event building with the limitations of using temporary tent structures, highlighting the advantages in terms of noise containment, crowd control, and setup/breakdown time. He also discussed the Scottish baronial architectural style proposed, which reflects the Beard family's heritage and desire to create an intimate, high-quality experience. Mr. Kendall Blanding of Bowman was present to discuss the expected economic benefits of the proposed wedding venue. He estimated the venue would result in approximately 50 hotel room nights booked per wedding, as many guests would likely stay overnight rather than drive back after the event. Kendall noted this would create opportunities for local bed and breakfasts and other accommodations to benefit from the increased tourism. He also highlighted the potential for the venue to generate business for various local vendors and service providers, such as caterers, shuttle services, florists, DJs, photographers, and videographers. Kendall then referenced a 2022 economic impact study on Virginia wineries conducted by the National Association of American Wineries. The study found that on average, each winery in Virginia creates about 100 direct jobs. In addition, each winery generates about 70 indirect jobs through suppliers and other businesses. The study also showed that about one-third of winery visits are by tourists, generating significant tourism spending. Overall, the industry paid $209 million in state and local taxes in 2022. Kendall suggested the Beard Mountain Vineyards project, being al arger-than-average winery, would likely contribute more than the average number of direct and indirect jobs to the local economy.  Ms. Haley Beard, the Director of Hospitality for Beard Mountain Vineyards, spoke about her vision and experience int the wedding industry. As an award-winning certified wedding planner and educator with over a decade of experience, Haley said she is deeply passionate about serving others and creating memorable experiences. She explained that their vision for the venue is to provide a space that accommodates all wedding styles and types, with amenities like a spacious bridal suite and groom's suite. Haley stated their goal is to create a comfortable, elegant space that allows wedding parties and guests to fully enjoy the celebration, without limitations on things like dance floors, seating, or catering. She shared that in her experience, many venues have limitations that can detract from the couple's dream for their wedding day, and the Beard's want to avoid those issues. Haley emphasized that this is more than just al large event center- iti is aj place where small, intimate moments and grand celebrations can happen, surrounded by the beauty of the vineyard and mountain views. She said that she and her family are very passionate about creating aj premier wedding venue that provides an exceptional experience for couples and their guests.    Board of Supervisors August 27, 2024 Sheet 6  Mr. Carl Beard, owner of Beard Mountain Vineyards, provided some additional context and reasoning behind the project. Beard explained that he could have developed this property anywhere but chose Greene County because he has been coming to the area since the 1970s and loves the community. He stated that when the soil testing was done on the property, the consultant advised him to buy it immediately, as someone else would likely plant a vineyard there. Beard's vision is to create a Scottish-inspired farm winery and event center that will attract visitors to Greene County, rather than just the Charlottesville area. He wants to provide a unique, high-quality experience for weddings and events, with features like fountains and courtyards, which will make people want to come to Greene County. Beard also mentioned his desire to create a production facility large enough to serve as a "custom crush" for smaller wineries that do not have the resources to build their ownj production facilities. He expressed his passion for bringing this project to Greene County and making it a destination that the local and wine communities can be proud  of.  The Public Hearing was opened. There were 14 speakers.  Those in support of the SUP stated:  1. The economic benefits and tourism potential of the project outweigh any potential negative impacts, and it will be a valuable asset for Greene County. 2. The success oft the wine industry in Virginia means that this project has the potential to 3.

The Public Hearing was closed.  The Board and the applicant discussed the potential impacts due to the size of the event center. Mr. Beard and his daughter shared reasons as to why it needed to be as large as the design.

RE: MONTHLY WATER & SEWER UPDATE  Mr. Dave Hundelt, Interim Water & Sewer Director was present to give his monthly update Mr. Hutka introduced himself as the new Director of Water and Sewer for Greene County. He expressed his excitement to be in the role and work with the community, stating that this area of Virginia, with the Skyline Drive, Luray Caverns, and the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a dream location for him and his wife. Hutka thanked Dave Hundelt for his work and mentioned that Hundelt will be staying on fort the next several months to help with the transition and work through some of the difficult issues the department is facing. Hutka emphasized that he is looking forward tor rolling up his sleeves and working hard to address the challenges ahead. He is eager to learn more about the county's water and sewer systems and work collaboratively with the board and staff  and also toi introduce Mr. Tom Hutka, the newly hired Water & Sewer Director.  toi find solutions.  Mr. Hundelt said that drought conditions have improved in the county, but Hundelt stated they are still vigilant and continuing to ask for voluntary water conservation efforts from citizens. Hundelt discussed the recent "do not use water" order issued by neighboring Orange County due to water quality issues, noting that Greene County's similar run-of-the-river water system is vulnerable to such contamination events. He strongly recommended that Greene County continue pursuing the development of a water reservoir or off-river storage, as this would greatly reduce the risk of water supply disruptions. Hundelt provided updates on various water and sewer projects, including the Stanardsville water tank and sewer rerouting projects, the alum treatment system, and the lead line inventory. He discussed the county's efforts to improve utility billing, including moving to monthly billing cycles and increasing the pace of meter replacements. Hundelt noted the county is considering when to reinstate late fees and service shutoffs for delinquent accounts,  as they have been delayed for some time.    Board of Supervisors August 27, 2024 Sheet 9  Mr. Catalano asked for a report regarding the wells that the County had dug several years ago. Mr. Hundelt stated that there are two wells in particular that were seriously investigated in the past by the county's previous water authority, RSA. One of the wells was located in the immediate vicinity oft the Preddy Creek elevated water tank, neart the Village Greene area. Hundelt noted that RSA had briefly put this well into service, but it was later taken offline due to aesthetic issues, such as taste, odor, and appearance of the groundwater. Hundelt explained that the groundwateravallable in Greene County generally has high concentrations ofiron and manganese, which can cause red water events and staining issues when used for public water supply. As a result, any use of these groundwater wells would require additional treatment works to be constructed. While the wells were viable, producing around 60-80 gallons per minute, Hundelt said the challenge would be finding suitable locations to build the necessary treatment facilities, as well as having the resources to staff and maintain them on an ongoing basis. Hundelt acknowledged that exploring these existing wells could potentially help bridge gaps in water supply during times of constraint, even if they are not immediately put into service. He stated this would be something the county would look into as part ofthe recommendations for funding capital RE: AUTHORIZATIONTO USE THE FUNDS COLLECTED FROMTHE SCHOOL ZONE Captain Jason Tooley was present to ask the Board to allow the use of the funds collected from the school zone speed cameras to be used for the purchase of new flashing speed limit signs. Tooley explained that the existing school zone speed limit signs on Route 33 and in town are approximately 26 years old and in need of replacement, as the reflectors have become worn, and the signs are difficult to see. He stated that using the funds collected from the successful school zone speed camera program will allow the county to upgrade the signs without any impact on the county, sheriffs office, or school budgets. Tooley noted that the new flashing speed limit signs will be solar-powered, with a backup battery that can last up to 25 days, and they can be remotely programmed for specific school days and times. He highlighted that the school maintenance staff will handle the installation of the new signs, further reducing the cost to the county. Tooley expressed his belief that the upgraded signs will greatly improve safety for students, school bus drivers, and other drivers passing through the school zones, as the new signs will be more visible and effective. He thanked the board for their support of the speed camera program and stated that  projects.

Upon motion by Francis McGuigan, second by Davis Lamb, and unanimous roll call vote, the Board approved the use of funds collected from the school zone speed cameras as presented.

RE: BOARDLIAISON REPORTS  Mr. McGuigan stated that the school board gave a brilliant presentation on their strategic plan and division priorities, which was delivered by Dr. Purcell. There are 14 returning graduates who are now teachers in the school system, referred to as "returning dragons.' 25% of all new hires for the school system were from Greene County. The alternative education building at the high school is now functional. The school board is working on a project to extend the Tech Center. The governor has decreed that there will be a cell phone-free education system effective January 1st, and the school board has already instituted a policy to align with this directive. McGuigan praised the school board's presentation and the progress they are making, particularly with the cell  phone policy and the number of local hires. RE: COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS UPDATE  Ms. Schafrik said that the ribbon cutting ceremony for the renovated courthouse will be on September 3rd at 1lam, and the public will be able to tour the building. The Greene County Fun Fair will be held on September 15th at the Greene Commons pavilion. The DMV will be providing their mobile DMV to Go services in the county on September 9th from 9am to 4pm. The new generators purchased through a grant have been installed at the Sheriff's Department building and the Dyke fire station. The generator for the county administration building will be installed on September 14th, requiring a temporary power outage. Ms. Schafrik noted that the county needs to replace the scales at the transfer station, and they will be bringing forward a plan for how  operations will need to change during that project.
