Thank you allowing this beacon of course. Thank you for your time For staff showing up I would like to maybe take time to present a bigger picture Planning Commission which we didn't have time to talk personally and I understand the reasons why but It's been quite a journey for us two and a half years in the county, and we first start looking at Walker County and specifically Lake Hill Parcel. Our intent was how can we make it win-win, sit down at the same side of the table, and make a county Remington in citizens prosper. and prosper. So that was our intent. And when we first time met county staff administration, planning, we kind of told everyone exactly it's a bad thing. We want to say the same side of the table so we can develop this project, grow it by, grow the opportunity. So end of the day, everyone wins. So that's been our initial goal. And then we set ourselves on the journey. We met a lot of neighbors. We knocked on a lot of doors, shook hands, kissed babies, solicited feedback. We went talk to environmental groups. Most of the times, we just asked questions, listened to notes and applied, you know, on our plans, in our application. So we heard a lot of things. There's a lot of great ideas, a lot of great projects. One thing is missing is funding and job opportunities, let's see, specifically in solving part of the county. So what our proposal is on this site. You already have all the infrastructure, the wires. We're offering $13 to $15 million in total contributions to the county and citizens. And once fully built out, the site could produce about $115 million annually to be counted, which is like 25% of your budget. And the question I would like to pose, you know, think what that money can be used for. And of course, it can be unlimited ideas and opportunities. Salaries, improvements, parks, stadiums, pools, you name it, or we've met up a day with for care educational farm. We just fired, you know, second person because they have no funding. So my point is, I wanna conclude with that. Really wanna make it win win, to bring opportunity to sovereign part of the county, share the pie, and let's fork your county solve lead district and Remington Prosper. So, thank you for your time. Thank you, please stand in. Thank you. Anyone else like to speak at Citizens' Town? Seeing none, a closed Citizens' Town. We move on to our public hearings. This is a public hearing to allow the commission to gather information from interesting citizens on the agenda items. Citizens may speak and reference to each item on the agenda for a time usually limited to three minutes. Commissioners and staff may ask questions of anyone attending the hearing. Speakers are asked not to direct questions or comments to each other. Speakers are not allowed additional time for rebuttal. This is a hearing and not a debate. Questions may be directed to commissioners and community development staff during regular office hours. Moving on to the first item on public hearings, which is item A, zoning ordinance, text amendment, amendment, zoning ordinance, text amendment to articles 4, 11, 14 and 15 related to board's commissions and committees. Mr. Smith, you have a statement to make. Yes, sir. I think I'm on the ARB currently representing the plan commission. And I think I should recuse myself from this. Okay. Very good. Thank you. Ms. Mead. Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. In February of 2025, the Board of Supervisors initiated a zoning ordinance text amendment to review specific articles of the zoning nornets related to boards, commissions, and committees. Staff was asked to evaluate these groups and their roles and to propose eliminating any of the groups which are not required under the Code of Virginia and providing a defined role. With that said, we looked at the committee's community development staffs along with their roles and charges. The Agricultural and Forestal Advisory Committee, Board of Building Appeals, Planning Commission, and Board of Zoning Appeals are all required by the Code of Virginia with a clearly defined role. With the Architectural Review Board, the Code of Virginia allows a locality to provide a local review board to administer historic site's ordinance, but does not require them to do so. When the Board of Supervisors established the ARB in 1976, its primary duty as stated in the zoning ordinance is to give counsel to the Board of Supervisors regarding permits within a historic district. To date, 49 years, no historic districts have been created or adopted, so the ARB has not needed to perform its primary duty of advising the board on permits. Staff believes it would be appropriate to sign these responsibilities in Article IV of the Zoning Nornance to Community Development Staff. This proposed transfer of responsibilities could be temporary until such time as a district is being proposed. Article 11 of the Zoning Nornance requires the ARB to review certain wireless facility applications. Since March of 2019, when this ordinance was adopted, the ARB has only been asked to review two such facilities. As this is such a rare current, staff proposes that the ARB review requirement be deleted from the ordinance and review responsibilities shifted to community development staff. Other duties of the ARB are listed in Article 14 of the ordinance and include assisting and advising the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission and other agencies and matters involving historically significant sites and buildings, advise owners on historic landmarks and preservation, formulate recommendations on historic markers, all of which are now the primary responsibility of community development staff's preservation planner. As such staff is proposing amendments to the ordinance which transfer these responsibilities to community development staff. As I noted this morning, questions have been raised regarding whether what are viewed as ARB activities, workshops, public programs, tour brochures would be continued and that answer is yes. Community development staffs role in putting these types of programs together, planning them, organizing and implementing would continue. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the appreciation that the county has for the time volunteers have put into this group. And as noted in the staff report and again as I noted in this morning, if in the future the Board of Supervisors wishes to establish a citizen advisory committee which is focused on preservation, they could do so under its own guidelines with a unique mission. The establishment of such a committee would not need to be included in the zoning ordinance. You have two letters of public comment, Both letters mention a lack of public awareness that this text amendment was initiated and being studied. With that said, I'm asking you to postpone action on this amendment leaving the public hearing open. I'm happy to answer any questions or go into more detail. any questions to staff at this point? Ms. Herbert, any? No, thank you. Open as public hearing is there. When present, I'd like to come forward and state your name. Welcome, sir. Members of the commission, my name is Bob Lee and I'm a resident of the Marshall District. It was my distinct honor and privilege to serve for 15 years as County Administrator of Falkier County and then later 14 years as the Marshall District Representative on this Planning Commission and through that entire time on the Planning Commission I was a representative designated by the code as a member of the architectural review board. Since its inception in 1976 the Falkier ARB has been a valuable local government component for identification, documentation and continuing education regarding the county's significant historic resources which represent our shared cultural heritage. The heritage resources chapter of the county conference of plan represents a collaborative endeavor between community development staff, excellent staff, and the members of the ARB. The same is true of the Village Plans chapter and the rural plan chapter. The ARB has worked together with other partners to identify qualifying villages that are now listed on the Virginia landmarks register and the National Register of Historic Places. Falkier has 20 recognized villages and settlements on these honorific registrars. We also have six rural historic districts on these registers. Falkier likely has more state and nationally recognized honorary historic districts in any county in Virginia. These heritage accomplishments in large measure were achieved by the diligent voluntary and totally uncompensated efforts of the ARB in support of the Board of Supervisors over several decades. Because Valkyrie has an ARB, the county has been able to acquire funding from state and national sources to further document and recognize historic properties and provide heritage resource public educational programs. In summary, the ARB for almost half a century represents the vital component of the reverence for heritage that's part of the county's vision statement progress with reverence for heritage. It's neither appropriate nor necessary that the past and continuing contributions of the Arabi should be obliterated by the zoning ordinance. As Holly noted, the public notices mentioned did not note the ARB, and so the public for tonight's hearing would not have known just based on the numerical references that the ARB would be impacted by the proposed tax amendments. And finally, I think that a good point was made that we don't have any locally designated historic district overlays, historic area overlays. But I'm here to remember and reflect that this planning commission and the Board of Supervisors have benefited greatly from the advice and counsel of the ARB. But I think the ARB is a misnomer. Architecture review board indicates review of architecture. And we don't do that. we do at the ARB or what they do at the ARB since I'm no longer a member is make the public and the public officials aware of the significant resources. So I think Heritage Resource Commission would be a much better term than as I indicated to Holly than then architectural review board. Thank Thank you. Thank you. Please say anything. Anyone else like to speak to this please come forward. Welcome. This is way up there. Hello, I'm Mary Rute, Lee Magisterial District, and I'm the current chairman of the ARB. And I'm here to defend it as being we we work for you all. Anytime you want us to find something out historical in your district, we're there to go dive in and research it and let you know what we find. And we're very big on education. We do a lot of tours in and around Warrington and other places in the county. We're currently working on a brochure of the tour of Lafayette's return to the United States in 1825. The 200th anniversary is this August and I don't think anyone else in the county so far is working on any kind of commemoration of that big event. Besides that, we have done over the years, we have done a number of seminars for Masonry, Staco, Windows, other things that people in the community with old houses need to know and want to know when they come out for our seminars. And then we've developed walking towards around Remington, around those. The mason that we had come for the mason retour was blown away by the old bank building across the way. He couldn't believe the seams were so smooth. And it was a fascinating tour he took us on. So we leave behind a lot of things when we do this. We have historic bridges. Here's the Green Book tour. This is the New Grove's guide to where you can stay and eat. And this is for Warrington. And then Brick and Mason ring here's Stucco. And then this brilliant one that mainly Wendy put together with help from us is Understanding property research and how to find your way around the deed room So I would argue that we're necessary and we're unpaid Takes a little bit of Wendy's time, but otherwise she she wouldn't have the army that she's got behind her to help her research all of these things. Thank you. Thank you. Please sign in. Oh, yeah. Anyone else like to speak to this application? Please come forward. Would you? I can take the lead on this because it highly presented. I'm going to leave the public hearing open and You you're asking for a 30 day. It's your preference. You could do 30 days. You could do up to 60. You're prerogative. Let's do up to 60. Thank you. That's so moved. We postponed the action on this for up to 60 days. Second. Have a motion to second any further discussion. All those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Ms. Herbert. Aye. It is postponed for up to 60 days. Moving on. Item B, C, and D, we will combine their additions to the agricultural and forest districts. Welcome Ms. Marshall. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I'll discuss these all in a row, just like you said. The first is Laura Fox and her request to add, it's two parcels, 50 acres total. The properties are located off of Burnham Wood Road, which is a private street. The Ag Forest Committee unanimously recommended approval of this edition request. They received a total of 81 out of 100 points on the ranking system for any new additions. John Fox and adjacent property to the North from Laura Fox. Also off of Burnham Wood Road, one parcel just under 42 and a half acres received a score of 78 out of 100 unanimously recommended by the Act Force Committee. And then Susan Fox, scapeier and hurt her addition requests. South of both of those four parcels total 102 acres received a score of 85 out of 100 points. All three of those have either a current forestry plan or in pursuit of a forestry plan. Mr. Vistens, addition request in the planes. It's one parcel just under 49 acres received a score of 67 out of 100. It is an active cattle farm and then cane man or farm in southern Falkir. is two parcels totaling just over 25 acres received a score of 71 out of 100 and also part of an active cattle farm. I'm happy to answer any questions. Commissioner, any questions to staff at this point? Ms. Herbert, any questions? No, thank you. Thank you, Ms. Marshall, open as public hearing. Is anyone present? Would like to speak on one, two, or three of the items? Seeing none. Hold on. We do have a taker. Welcome, sir. I name Charles Risen. Yes, sir.

Would you like me to close the public hands? I will close the public hands. I'd like to move that. I'd like to move that we recommend approval of all of these applications. Do I have a second? Second. I have a motion to second. Any further discussion on the matter? Hearing none, all those in favor please sing for the saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any opposed? So pay us. Moving on to item E on our agenda, special exception, SPEX-2502--3956, Church of God at Midland. Welcome again Ms. Marshall. Thank you again. This is the Church of God at Midland. It's a category 6 and category 9, special exception and a category 9 special permit. The property is located near the intersection of Catlett Road and Metz Road. It's just under 61 acres. It's a special exception for a major place of worship and a special exception and special permit for class B events longer than three days. The property is owned agriculture surrounding properties are also owned agriculture as well as residential R1, commercial neighborhood C1 and industrial park I1. Predominantly residential and agricultural uses as well well as May Hughes and this and that, Amish outlet on the corner intersection of medicine catlet and then the village of Eustace corner at that same intersection. The rural land use plan includes special notes of consideration for special exception and special permit uses, and whether the use proposed is agriculturally and verbally compatible in scale and intensity, whether it poses a threat to public health safety and welfare, if it contributes to the preservation of historically significant structures or landscapes, if it helps to preserve farmland and open space where it interferes with operations of adjacent properties. Elements to consider for this application include traffic generation, scale emplacement of buildings, frequency of events and activities, operating hours and any potential water and sewer impacts. The special exception for a major place of worship includes the main church building approximately 35,000 square feet in size, with a 325-seat auditorium, meeting rooms, a fellowship hall, bathrooms, and a kitchen. The auxiliary building approximately 17,500 square feet in size with an event area, gym, bathrooms, and storage rooms, a 5,000 square foot pavilion, a 2,500 square foot storage shed, outdoor recreation areas including a playground and different outdoor sports fields, and then left and right turn lanes from Catlett Road, landscaping and buffering, 261 parking spaces, private well drainfield and reserve area, and an underground water tank to be used for fire suppression. The applicants plan to have two Sunday services, one from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and one from 6 p.m. to roughly 8 p.m. Wednesday service from 7 to 9 p.m. with 325 attendees, Tuesday Bible study from 7 to 8 p.m. with 30 attendees, and Friday youth services from 7 to 9 p.m. with 50 attendees. They also hope to have occasional weddings, funerals, and appreciation banquet dinners for high school graduates or other elderly members of the congregation. They've indicated generally one to two of each event type per year, and that these would only be for members of the church. The facilities would not be open to the public. The category nine special exception and special permit for class B events is for their annual fellowship meeting that includes various services, meals events and activities that would occur in both buildings and outdoor recreation areas. The event is six days long typically held during the summer from Tuesday evening through Sunday with a total cumulative attendance of roughly 3,000 people, 400 to 500 each day. They plan to have portable toilets and a pump truck on standby during the annual event. The wastewater characterization study that was provided has a total weekly peak flow of 3,650 gallons or an average daily flow of just over 520 gallons per day. This includes 325 seats on Sunday with 1,625 gallons per day per seat. That's 325 people at two services is what they intend to have. Tuesdays, 30 people, 150 gallons per day, Wednesdays, 325 people, 1,625 gallons per day, and Friday's 50 people, 250 gallons per day. Their chart includes no flow on Monday, Thursdays, or Saturdays. They've proposed a sand drip system with a daily dose of 600 gallons per day and a 4,000 gallon holding tank. And their study states system should generally accommodate any occasional wettings, funererals and banquets that they may have. We discussed this morning the need for clarity whether they wanted to have 325 people combined at their Sunday services or 325 people at each and they have indicated it is the 325 people at each of their Sunday services and they have updated that report and it's been sent to the Swill of Scientists and Health Department for review. Standing issues, the zoning ordinance requires sites eligible for Class B events to contain a minimum of 100 acres. As a subject property contains under 61 acres, if the board were to approve it, a finding would need to be made that less restrictive standards do not negatively impact any other general or specific standard and will serve the purposes of promoting public health safety welfare and welfare to an equivalent degree. And then again we've talked about the septic estimates. We had included a condition restricting the weekly attendance to 840 persons and a maximum of 325 people per day. And that was based on five gallons per day per person rather than the per seat that they have since indicated was their calculations. The included conditions for the place of worship that it shall be limited to a place of worship and incidental uses which are further limited to members only. Maximum attendance of 840 people per week or 325 attendees per day. Sunday services shall be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday services 9 p.m. 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. General place of worship hours 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and all activities ending by 10 p.m. No regular service or activities while the class B event is occurring. For the class B event, one event per year, no more than six days in length, a maximum cumulative attendance of 3,000 people or 500 people per day. Activities between the hours of 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays that may go until 11 consistent with the noise ordinance. Temporary toilets for the event shall be required with permits from the Health Department. There shall be a pump track on standby during the event with a copy of the contract provided to zoning prior to the event. Traffic control shall be provided. An emergency plan shall be provided and updated annually. All required licenses and permits by the Sheriff's Office, V.O. emergency services and the health department shall be obtained prior to the event. There shall be no overnight stays on the property. No cooking unless a commercial kitchen is approved by the health department. Parking and loading shall be effectively screened including the wooded area on the northern northern side of the property preserved to the greatest extent possible. All building and walkway lighting shall be limited to pathway and or ballard style lights. The onsite well shall not be used to fill or refill the water storage tank and that underground water storage tank shall only be for fire suppression purposes. Water effluent meter or effluent meter installed to track the water usage and a remote telemetry device installed on the septic system. Left and right turn lanes meeting all V.Standards and any other improvements required by V.Completed prior to commencement of the use V.O.T. Health Department zoning and building permits prior to commencement of the use and a site plan. As we discuss this morning, our recommendation would be for you all to postpone action to allow the applicant's time to make sure that everything is in line and that we can have an opportunity to update everything to make it as clear as possible what their request is. We have received three letters of public comment to today that have been uploaded for you. Two of them are not in opposition, but citing concerns about lighting and the traffic on 28, and then a third that is in full support. Happy to answer any questions. Commissioner, is there any questions to staff at this point? Ms. Herbert, any questions? No, thank you. Thank you, Ms. Marshall. I hope Ms. Public Hearing is the applicant present. Please come forward. Welcome, sir. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, members of the commission. I'm Gifford Hampshire from the Law from a Blankenship and shipping Keith I represent the Church of God of Manassas soon to be the Church of God of Midland if this application is approved with me today is Kurt Krowch who's on the Trustees of a member of the Board of Trustees and also pastor Todd Wilcoxon Kurt is also our engineer on the project He's a professional engineer and works at Novak and he and I work together on various projects for Novak. So he's responsible for the very good plans that you see in the application and also is here to answer any technical questions that you might have. As noted by staff and we were here this morning listening and we agree with the recommendation to postpone this hearing to make sure that we have the numbers correct and that the health department has had an adequate opportunity to review them and make sure that their recommendation is in line with the numbers that we have presented. But I also want to compliment Ms. Marshall for a very good staff report for working with this so cooperatively and also for handling the technical parts of this so so aptly. I just like to make a few points and then we can answer any questions with the understanding that we are going to, we are in agreement with postponing the hearing in order to make sure the information is adequately analyzed by the health department. Ms. Marshall noted, a special exception for a place of worship is recommended by your comprehensive plan, assuming that it fits within the rural character of the area. And I think if you look at the site plan that is set forth in the materials that you saw in the staff report, you'll see how this church is cited in the middle of the site with a great deal of buffering on each side consistent with a rural character of the area and the conditions support that and butters that by requiring that kind of screening. You also have the railroad tracks on one side and Katler wrote in the other with a good deal screening there. And as Ms. Marshall said, we do plan to have two services on Sunday, 325 at each service, one in the morning, one in the night. So actually, as she indicated in the staff report, needs to be corrected because it's going to be a total of 650 people between the two services. But a significant distinction, as was discussed this morning, is that it's a different calculation for the waste because if that is calculated based upon seats, there would be 325 seats times per day, even though there will be two services, for example, on Sunday, times the five gallons per day, and that comes up with the figures that you see in your staff report. We think that's significant because it in and also is significant is the average of the 521.4 gallons per day because you will see what a significant element of this application is the 4,000 gallon tank, which has a capacity on average of 600 gallons per day. That is significant to handle the daily load. We think we have high confidence based upon our feedback thus far from the health department that they will agree and will confirm that before the next hearing. It will also handle the weddings, the occasional weddings and funnels, which will be about 200 people persons, no more than once a month. And that will generate about 1,000 gallons per day. I think you heard from this Marshall, all the conditions that are going to be on the class B event. Number one, that's going to be just one day a year. You're not going to have the 3,000 people there all at one time. It'll be a couple hundred up to a max as conditioned of 500 at a time. But that is a very well conditioned as you see in your staff report, including the requirement for temporary toilets and a pump and haul us on standby. With that, I'll just close. And again, close by saying we agree with the recommendation to continue the hearing to make sure we get it right. And we're available to answer any questions in the meantime. Thank you. Sir, I don't think I heard from you the length of time you'd like to postpone this for 30 days or 60 days. Well we have an understanding that perhaps the member of the Board of Supervisors from this district may not be available at the next hearing so we're understanding that it might be 60 days until the interiors are alive. 60 day extension. Yes sir. Okay very good. Up to 60? Up to 60. Yes. Any questions to the speaker at this point? Sir please sign in. Thank you. Anyone else like to speak to this application? Please come forward. State your name. Welcome, sir. Welcome. I'm in the farm below this and I have five wheels below it and I'm concerned with the drain field for one and also concerned about the traffic. You can't get out on 28 now. It takes five to ten minutes to get out my driveway. So now you're throwing more traffic on this. I just don't believe it's going to work. It's not going to be safe. The acceleration lanes will not help this matter at all. All this is going to do is back traffic up. Mr. Smith there knows about the traffic on 28. He can testify to that. I just don't believe this is going to, and the noise is we live in a farm district which I'm not against the church it's all the outside events that could go on here and how long is it going to go at night that's that's my concerns thank you thank you please Please sign in. Is there anyone else like to speak to this application? Please come forward. State your name. Sir, you have you have to clarify something if you don't mind. I you in response to your question you said how long I I should have said 30 days to the next plan. I can you should what I was referring to in 60 days was that's probably when we'll end up before the board of supervisors. But we'd like a continuous for 30 days. But 30 days. Yes sir. Thank you. Again anyone else like to speak to this application. Please come forward. Mr Smith would you pleasure on this? Sure. I want to just mention something first. But you do not want to close the public hearing. No, I want to keep it open. Keep it open. But I don't like to abuse this but y'all would hear me say this quite often or from time to time. I'm as in lifelong midlander and fifth generation midlander, three ways. I had a great aunt, her name was Sylvia Funkhouse, her brother was brother Wilbert that while who was a well-known church of God minister. Anyway, if she ever heard anybody call it midland, midland, she would light into him. And she made sure that everybody knew it was Midland, that Midland. So you guys assuming this goes, gets approved next month or whenever it comes back to us, they're gonna have a pretty large footprint in Midland. So I would just like to encourage you to encourage the everybody that you talk to, just to say it's gonna be Church of God at Midland, not Church of God at Midland. So Chairman, I would like to leave it open for 30 days, the public here, for 30 days. Okay, do I have a second on that? If I can please, the next planning commission meeting is 34 days away. So you may need to. Next regular schedule. Thank you. Yes, regular schedule meeting. Yes, sir. Do I have a second on that? Second. I have a motion to second any further discussion. Hearing none, all of the favour please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Excuse me. It has been postponed for the next regular schedule meeting. Item F on our... Any opposed? It has been postponed for the next regular scheduled meeting. Item F on our agenda, special exception, SPEX, Georgia Brown, property light 2B. Block them as well. Thank you very much. Deplicant is requesting a category 29. I'll give them a minute. the village of fry town at 8122 fry town road and currently consists of watt 2a and 2b which were created through an administrative subdivision in November 2023. The applicant would now like to subdivide lot 2b into 2 lots, 2b1 and 2b2 and use and extend the existing private streets so that it can serve a total of three lots. This proposal requires the category 29 as the street will now serve three lots, not just the two, and the applicant would like it to remain a private street. We discuss the required waivers this morning and I'll get to that. The property is in the village of Frytown, zone village is in the Warranton service district with a designated land use of water remediation district. The comprehensive plan also designates this parcels part of the village of Frytown, which is characterized by its country village atmosphere and charm due to its rambling roads and small houses on large lots. Shrouding properties on Frytown Road are residential and zone village and R1 residential and Warranton Chase neighborhood is half a mile north. The existing street serves 2A and 2B and there's a house currently under construction on lot 2B where the street generally extends to now. The applicant would like to extend this to propose lot 2B2 as shown to a total length of 729 feet. The cross sections of the existing and proposed street is 18 feet with one foot shoulders, totaling 20 feet wide. Due to the existing topography and anticipated home elevations, the applicant is requesting street slopes up to 12%. The street would be inside of a 50-foot ingress egress easement and a turnaround is provided at the terminus. The applicant is proposing a gravel surface for the entire road. The disordering ordinance requires that the existing private street be evaluated for any necessary improvements as part of the special exception. The applicant is requesting two waivers from Zording Ordnance Standards as part of the special exception. A waiver of section 7-302.4 would allow for a private street longer than 700 feet within a service district. The proposed street is 729 feet due to the location of the lot to be to drain field and the location and size of the required turnaround. The Board of Supervisors must ultimately make the finding that to modify this standard would constitute a hardship to not allow reasonable use of the property and that plausible alternatives have been exhausted or are not feasible. The Planning Commission in making its recommendation should consider if these findings can be made. The waiver of section 7-305.1 would allow for the requested slopes up to 12%, which are greater than the 10% allowable in the ordinance. The applicant has indicated that these steeper slopes are necessary due to the natural topography of the parcel and the elevation of the home sites compared to their grain fields. The Board of Supervisors may make the finding that this reduced construction standard is acceptable, but it may require that the private street have a 2-inch by inch by two minutes paved surface if the slope is greater than 7%. Staff has included this condition as the average slope of the entire length is an average of 7.4%. The commission could remove or revise this condition if you believe that the by two minutes surface is not necessary for all or parts of the street. The following conditions have been included for your consideration. We went over these in detail this morning. The private street would serve a maximum of three lots and would be de-versic-tuned from accessing Prytown Road directly. The entrance on Prytown must meet the B dot entrance standards. It would meet all zoning ordinance design standards except for the standards related to the waivers we discussed. The street would be limited to the requested 729 feet length and would not exceed 10% except where portions of what to be one may be up to 12%. The commission may choose to remove or revise the condition requiring the two inch by two minutes surface. A private street maintenance agreement will be required and adequate ingress for emergency vehicles will be provided. A construction plan will be required and we've received no letters and public comment. Happy answering the other questions. Any questions of staff at this point? Ms. Herbert, any questions? No, thank you. Thank you, Ms. Whirley. I hope this public hearing is the after-present. Please come forward. State's name. Welcome, ma'am. Hello, welcome. Good evening. My name is Ruth Holbrook. And I'm the current owner of the lock that was discussed. The lock that was subdivided through the subdivision as under an LLC. I am a current manager as my regular job with the utility company Novak. I also am a licensed real estate agent and the home that's being built in the middle lot is for our family. This will be our first home, my husband is in the audience, and we're just seeking to be able to subdivide the lot that we're building, the home on, because there's so much land in the back, and we would like to be able to further improve that and let the question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. I think that's a good question. when we tried to price it out so that could be it present a hardship and and be hard to meet however if you know we still wanted to go ahead and just see what the board would decide. Okay thank you man please sign in. Anyone else like to speak to this application? Please come forward. Mr. Smith, would you like to close public hearing? Yes, sir. Close public hearing. I don't think that the, uh, the two inch by two minutes is a deal record. I'm okay with taking it off. It's gonna be up to them to keep the slope from being washed out, rut it out. Yes, it is. So, but I think they can do that by putting millions down or that'll be up to you guys, but I would not want to put that additional cost on this this applicant because I don't think this necessary so I recommend for it in this Removing that condition and then for it to the board of supervisors with a recommendation of approval Do have a second Second have a motion of a second. Is there any further discussion on this matter? Hearing none all is a favor, please signify. I have a saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Moving on to item G of Special Exception, SPEX25, Canada, and the application of a category 20 Special Exception to install a private individual sewage treatment system. Welcome. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The property is located at 8323 Kinds Road in the village of double poplars in Cedar Run District. The proposal includes two adjacent properties containing one existing three bedroom home. The parcel is total just over two lakers and are under the same ownership. The Arizona R11 and the surrounding properties are zoned R1 in agriculture and have village and agricultural uses. The applicant is requesting a Category 20 special exception to allow the installation of a private individual sewage treatment system which just charges into an open ditch. The home was built in 1959 and has a septic tank of unknown age and unknown drain field. The discharge from the home currently overflows the septic tank onto the ground surface and off the property. The Virginia Department of Health issued an intent to deny a permit for a new conventional onsite system in May of 2024 due to insufficient area of suitable soil for a drain field on the property. Given the property's location outside of a service district, no public sewer service is available. The proposed system is designed with the treatment capacity of up to 500 gallons per day, meeting the requirement for a three-bedroom home. It will be equipped with component alarms to alert the homeowner of system malfunction. It will be inspected for compliance with effluent limits and undergo all required formal startup testing during the first six months of operation and ongoing compliance testing thereafter. The applicant has stated that the installation will mitigate the failed system, result in improved groundwater quality and allow the continuation of the existing residential use. Effluent will be treated to near drinking water quality before exiting the property. The treatment process begins with a new 1000 gallon septic holding tank. From there, effluent will pass through an aerobic treatment unit and an ultraviolet disinfection unit for treatment. A pump line will move the treated effluent across the property to a sand filter, which provides the same level of treatment as the ATU. And then into a minimum 250 foot long engineered discharge ditch, which extends to a natural sway at the property line. The downstream path crosses several neighboring properties and generally follows the path of Cupton Run. The included conditions require that the two parcels will be consolidated into one prior to site plan approval. The system will be designed to discharge an average flow of less than or equal to 450 gallons per day to serve a maximum of three bedrooms. The existing septic tank will be abandoned per VDH requirements. All water fixtures, including washing machines, will be connected to the new system. The discharge path will be located a minimum of 100 feet from all class 3C wells and will meet all other VDH and the EQ setback requirements. The operation maintenance performance and monitoring of the system will be in accordance with all regulations and a maintenance and monitoring monitoring contract will be retained at all times. A water effluent meter and a remote telemetry alarm device will be installed on the system. I'm happy to answer any questions. Any questions of staff at this point? Ms. Herbert? No, thank you. Thank you. Open as public hearing. Is the applicant present? Please come forward. HNA. I'm a toughby. I'm the soil scientist designing the system and these are the owners of the company. Are you speaking for the Obseror or he's going to speak for you? Okay. Go ahead. Okay. Welcome. Hi. Thank you. Would you like to add anything to what you've already heard? No, I think she did a pretty good job. We think so. Any questions of the applicants? Representative. Thank you, sir. Please sign in. If you didn't speak, you don't need a sign. No. Is there anyone else that would like to speak to this application? Welcome sir. Yeah but Ms. Dennis Lipscomb. I guess I don't really understand what we're doing here. We're putting an open ditch and we're going to have sewer pumped into an open ditch. I mean yes. No. No. Well that's what it says. It's not. It is effluent water that is near drinking water. It's still says so. It's said, all the thing. It's a sewage in an open ditch. I get it that it's the treated water that comes out of this uptick thing. I just don't understand why it's not a regular drain field being put back here. Everything there is low ground. I mean water lays there. If you were to go there right now and stand there and look, it's low ground. Water lays on their property. It will property next to a water lays. In the picture she had, there's a pond within 100 yards of their property. It's less than that actually. And then gulped and run is right down the hill. I mean, if water is gonna water lays into ground right now So if this water just gives in to a ditch where's it gonna go? It's just gonna lay there I don't want to stay a while. We're not doing like I say in bed some kind of traditional drain field Miss wise it's mine just man. The health department has that they have approved this Yes. Okay. I mean, I have to say, I've only lived 100 yards there, but I'd have to say I'm against having an open ditch with any kind of, I mean, you know, great back in the day people used to pump grey water on the ground. If you would like to meet with staff during regular office hours, they can absolutely explain that to you what the health department has approved. All right. Sir, please sign in. Is there anyone else it would like to speak to this application? Can I explain what does the staff have to say to the staff? He can get with the community staff at a later date. Thank you, sir.
