Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the May 8th Board of Supervisors meeting and the public hearing portion thereof. I'd like to start out with an indication, Mr. Ray. Thank you. Mr. Ray, we thank you for the spiritual aid. We thank you for the reigning of the bodies to us over the past several days. We ask that you go back to the King's of the world, let those who are protecting us both dear and the unites of America, the greatest country on this world, and those and all in front of you. We ask that you go back to the pool and be the moment. And the name of your son is Christ, we pray, and may all sit in the name of your name. Please join me in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic of which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Mr. Washroom looking for emotion to adopt the agenda. Yes sir, I move to adopt the agenda with the following changes. Post-pone item number one, post-pun consent agenda item number seven, L, resolution directing the county administrator to schedule a public hearing to consider a tax exemption request for old dominion, land conservancy incorporated. Second item, remove regular agenda item 8A, a resolution to approve zoning ordinance waiver, 25-024269 Luxstone, built in an application to waive the requirement of obtaining a new special exception and temporarily allow use of the existing Lucky Hill Road access point. Pid number 6898275598000 in lead district. Next one, add consent agenda item number seven, R, a resolution to approve zoning ordinance waiver 25-024269 Luxembeilton, an application to waive the requirement of obtaining a new special exception temporarily allowed the use of existing, set the same one twice. OK, I apologize, seems very similar. A lot of these have existing Lucky Hill Road access point at number 689A-27-559-4-0000 and lead district. And finally, at consent agenda item number seven, S, a resolution authorizing termination of an open space agreement and approving a new open space agreement for property on by William H. Krun and Margaret McDonald. Okay, have a motion do I have a second? Second. Have a motion and a second. Any discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? The ayes have it for zero. And I should say at this point, Kevin Carter is unable to make today's meeting and so he will return next month. Next up is Citizens Time. Citizens Time is an opportunity for citizens to come up and speak before the border supervisors. We ask that you limit comments to no more than three minutes and I'll go ahead and ask General Downs to call the roll. Yes sir, thank you and Rousseau, Cedar Run District. Do I press the start button? No we don't. I press the start button. Okay. Hi, I'm Anna Rousseau, the Catlett resident, almost 20 years. Mr. Gerhard is my supervisor. And he and I have worked together before. We're still trying to find a solution to the traffic situation on Elkren Road. Road, a lot of you knew or remember Garland Heading Sue was killed in November. Getting his mail, he was our immediate next door neighbor. So there's many issues to the speeding problem on Elkren Road and Sheriff Falls has kindly dedicated more deputies to us. We often see deputy molline at the 25 mile an hour mark where you cross the railroad tracks on Elkren Road. However, the speeding happens way further down the road. It's a 45 mile an hour zone for the entire road and with suggested speed limits of 35 through the S curves there. 70, 75, 80 miles an hour are normal on our road. We need to do something and I was doing some research around the ability to have speed cameras and how they're now in the school zone areas and construction zone areas and there was a bill put forth. Excuse me, House bill 2041 this year to allow local governments to create their own ordinances to have speed cameras in high risk, high fatality, high speed, high incident areas that they'll failed this year, but it is up for resubmission next year. And I'm interested to find out if Flocker County has any intention of developing one of those ordinances. We are not the only high incident area, you know, everybody is familiar with 29 on the way from Remington past the truck stops. So I'm looking for advice, update. I know D.Dot is a speed limit thing and we don't really want to change our speed limit. We just want to enforce the limit that's there. So the trucks are another problem, but they're only a small part of the problem. It's not really a truck problem It's the speeder and the passing problems. So Open for some kind of V dot Fuck your counties concerned citizens to kind of task force or Whatever is suggested to me on a way to help resolve this. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, yeah, Dr. O'Rourke, just later we joined that. Next speaker, Duane Long, Cedar Run. Good evening, Board. Since you don't like to do your research, I decided I would share some of mine. You know how many people you have affected in this county with your decisions? Roughly 75,000. You want to know the second largest district to see it run by landmass. Our residence 13,000 as of 2003. Here's a couple of copies of the cash for the amount of everybody who will get one. This is what we're doing to block your county. With your decisions, this is what you're expected to anticipate that we're going to have in this county. Well, we've got it now. I want to read you something else. Let's see here. Passion for the outdoors, agriculture, overall preservation of rural way of life in Falkier County is what led me to seek public office. It's Mr. Walshers ad for being elected just so we know who we're dealing with. As well as we all complain about clean bill. We have to reflect on the patient one day of clean day. That's what he says. That's what you agree if you close your eyes. We can all say it doesn't exist. I'm here to tell you again. I have no confidence in this board or our sheriff in this county. Mike Faults, Scott District. Good evening. Mike Foltz, Scott District. Sure was a exciting Dominion presentation this afternoon. On April 10th in the NASA City Council meeting, they discovered that the secret tenant in the Brickyard Data Center was a bank. And what that means is that according to Virginia Code, banks are exempt from local B poll taxes and the business personal property taxes that typically bring localities millions and revenues. So there's a lot of, a lot of angst happening up in the NASIS over this loss of revenue they thought they were getting. So with many critical land use decisions coming before this legislative body, this got me thinking, John Foote, a prominent land use attorney in our region, and who represented AWS in Warranton, masterfully crafted chapter one of the planning and zoning handbook of Virginia local government. Listen to what this simple passage from Mr. Foote's book, truths, half truths, and outright falsehoods can pepper the legislative record in a battle for governing body approval and may even have constituted the basis upon which an approval was granted. Unless such representations are reduced to a legally binding commitment as they may be through proper statements, they are just so much advocacy offered to persuade a legislator to grant a rezoning application. Coshner retail here only written words matter and only when they're codified into proper statements. Not what's presented to the Planning Commission or what's presented to you the Board of Supervisors it doesn't matter what's been said in expert-tay phone calls, meetings or between the applicant, county staff, discussing potential conditions or profits, PowerPoint slides, adds and newspapers, et cetera, et cetera, it doesn't matter, it only matters as Mr. Footed Vice is reduced to legally binding commitment in the profit statements. That's it, Thank you. Thank you. Chris Colvin, theater run. Hi there, everyone. I probably won't even use one minute. I am Chris Colvin. My husband, Mel Colvin. Two years ago, we started an organization as a result of data center applications in the town of Catlet. Well, that was very eye opening for us. And so I also shared Mike Foltz's comment that the Dominion meeting today was exciting, I think is what Mike said, but I would probably use another word, frightening. It might be my word. And so I just wanted to point out an email and that I had sent to the Board of Supervisors in this last week about the heritage and history specifically of the land that we have, the burden of love land that we have continued in the Colvin family to sell homes and houses and have occupied this for many years. So I wanted to submit some of our Colvin history. The tenor rolling mills, which is also called Daniel's Dam, is also something that I wanted to submit. Three of the alternative lines today run right through in between my home, just yards away from my home, our smokehouse, ten house, all things under our V.O.F. easement that we're required to maintain, but the beauty of which will be gone if in fact the most viable path that we've learned about today is in essence. So my message, because I've been a data center for fighter, or at least not even fighter, just trying to be somebody who's spreading information to folks, the common day folks that don't have that, is they're definitely related, right? The power lines coming through to feed the Northern counties, Prince William County, Loudon County, and yes, while now it's touching me very very personally, albeit that I've been, certainly trying to make sure that we're aware and we're responsible in Falkyre County, this county that we love is now very true that those two things, the power lines to feed them, 100% feed them are now going to come through our beautiful county, and we would be naive to think if we approved more and more and more That we weren't culpable in this as well. So just wanted to say the little slogan is no more power lines and fuck here here county to feed power lines Elsewhere, but certainly let's not let's not Exasperate the problem here in Falkier County. Thank you so much. Thank you. Josephine Gilbert Scott District. Good evening Chair. He's not here. Board, commuted members. My name is Josephine Gilbert, and I live in the Scantus District. As a body that oversees and funds are public schools, it's important you're aware of some of their practices. Here are some of my comments to the upcoming school board meeting. What happened to transparency? A special meeting was called for May 1st. It was appropriate notice given. given. A contract for 50 million plus was moved from information to approval in the same meeting. You couldn't wait for a 30-day community review? You've been working on it for many years? This should not be acceptable. Acceptable. Superintendents are public servants, just like our teachers, first responders and other government employees. Public service has always meant trading private sector pay for job security, strong benefits and attention. But today, superintendents are getting both private sector salaries and public sector perks. Taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability when it comes to spending public funds. I also want to clarify a common misunderstanding about Part 3E of Dr. Warner's contract. It says board members should refer formal complaints to the superintendent for review. But it does not mean board members are required to report every single concern or conversation to him. Interpreting at that way discourages open dialogue and responding responsible oversight. Is the community aware of the salary of the Commonwealth of Superintendents? $202,000. Park years, $240,000 is of last year. Caching out leave, the superintendent can cash out up to 40 unused leave days a year, an extra $40,000 annually. No other staff members have this option. Is this fair? And how is this leave being tracked and verified in central office? Memberships and benefits, the division covers its personal memberships, cell phone plan, and top tier health plan and dental plan insurance for the whole family. Meanwhile, many employees struggle to afford their own benefits. Why are we covering all these things for the highest paid employee in the division? These are serious questions that are just about the budget, but about fairness and earning the public's trust. I recently learned you have the authority, as several other counties have done, to approve a categorical budget, not lump sum. As I said, other counties have done this. I'll get you the information as a way to oversee their specific spendings. It is atrocious that summer school is not being offered. However, two tour fills were just approved. Where are our priorities? Thank you, and I appreciate what you do. Thank you. is the last individual signed up for citizens time all right And we are under the consent agenda looking for a motion Mr. Washroom. Yes, service gear heart I'm going to adopt the consent agenda as previously amended All right, I'm a motion do I have a second? motion to a second. Any discussion? All right. I'll go ahead and call the vote. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? And I was an aye for the record. So the I's have it for zero. We have no regular agenda items this evening. so we have no appointees this evening. So supervisors time, I'll go ahead and start with supervisor washer to my left. Yes sir. Just want to make known that Marshall's seasonal, it's no longer a farmer's market, it's a community market. We'll be getting this Friday. There's live music, good food, lots of crafts, as well as some farmwares. So I encourage everybody to come out to Main Street Marshall and unfortunately I don't know if the weather will cooperate but it is spring and we're not going to complain about rain. We don't complain about rain anymore. Sure. All right. Supervisor broadis. I've got a handful of things here. Number one, there's a, we learned a couple hours ago that there is a dominion energy, open house, May 13th to talk about those power lines that are being proposed to them a 500 KV line, the 230 KV line that will be coming from Southern Falkier up to the South Eastern Falkier, going into Prince William County. That is at the Mary Walter Elementary School from May 13th from 6 to 8 p.m., encouraging anybody who's interested to show up and see what they have to say and provide feedback. There is a V.Public hearing on May 20th to review the Route 17 and I-66 interchange. That's at the Marshall Community Center from excuse me, from 4.30 to 6.30 PM. And let's see here. There is today, we learned from all points broadband, that they believe they are on track to start delivering fiber connections to citizens in the county by the end of July. So our fingers are crossed, we take them at their word. And they believe they'll be finished delivering all those by I believe June 2026 so over an 11 month track If you believe you're one of those who will be getting broadband or hope to be getting broadband They encouraged you to do two things number one go to all points Broadband dot com and make sure that you check your your home address to see that you are in fact the service area and they're aware of you. And the other is to go to the FCC's website, broadbandmap.fcc.gov to make sure that your home is tracked by one of the entities. Not every home is in an appropriate database and you may fall through the cracks. crack. So So I encourage you to do those two things. If you find that you're not where you want broadband from all points, but you are not on their service area as oddly enough, ironically, I just discovered I'm not about 10 minutes ago. I looked me up and I'm not there. So I need to find out why. And there are areas in our county that won't be served. So, other things, I have two congratulations I want to throw out. One is to Great Meadows Foundation and the Gold Cup, Virginia Gold Cup Association for working out issues they had last fall and successfully holding the annual Gold Cup. their 100th gold cup, so hats off to them. You know, the great meadows is an incredible facility. I think if the two of these organizations can work together, it will continue to improve the track. And without question, be one of the finest equestrian facilities in the country. So congratulations to those organizations. And then lastly, I'll just say congratulations to Bill and Trace, Cicacolos, who owns Petone's pizza. And they're celebrating their 50th anniversary on May 31. So if you like pizza, go say hello. Congratulations. They're going to have quite a shindig there on Saturday, May 31st from early and morning till late night. I forget the hours, but it's all day. So that's it. Thank you. All right. Supervisor Colors. I don't have anything. All right. And I will just address one of the comments. And what we're going to do is we're going to add that to our legislative agenda for next year. So we'll get with you on that. and if we can help facilitate the speed cameras we'll certainly do that. And that's all I have for the evening. Announcements, you know. Thank you, sir. I first want to start with today is Sarah Ann, who's a member of our team's last board meeting. Thank you, Sarah, for always looking out for the small details of result and us being able to do a seamless public meeting. Sarah will be transitioning to work in the community development department, where we know she will continue The . The . The . The . The . The being for environmental. And we are off to the public hearings at this point. So first up is a resolution amending fiscal year 2026. Tonnage gate rate fee for environmental services. Good evening, Chair and Board. We're asking for an increase of $1.50 on the waste per ton because of the consumer price index increase of 3%. The county waste would go from $59 a ton to $6.50. Pack it as, answer any questions. Any questions? All right, thank you, sir. At this time, I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. Any speakers to this matter? There are no speakers lined up for this matter. Thank you.

Next up, a resolution to adopt 2025-2026 through 2030-31, secondary road, six-year plan, and the 2025-2026 fiscal year budget. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This resolution would identify the county's priorities for the V.D. budgets. We get approximately $154,000 per year in tele-fee funds. The Roads Road Project was our number one priority in the years past that has been completed and closed out. This being removed from the list. A whiting road would be the next number one priority. That project is completed by yet not closed out so it continues to be the next highest priority. The rest of the funds are district-grade unpaid road funds. We receive between $970,000 to just over a million dollars per year. Those have been programmed for 15 fully funded projects and future unplanned roads. There are no changes to the priorities and additions, no subtractions this year, but there are four roads being changed from Kevin Brant's road, Abed are church road, wash right road, and Kaiser road. These are being changed from being hard surface to remaining gravel surface. They will be improved and reconstructed, but no hard surface sink. Any questions? I have any answer. Any questions for Adam? All right. Thank you, Adam. At this time, I'll go ahead and open the public hearing. There are no speakers for this public hearing. I'll close the public hearing and look for a motion. I move to adopt the resolution. 2025, 2026 through 2030, 2031, secondary roads, six year plan and the 2526 fiscal year budget. All right, I'm a motion and a second. Any discussion? Call the vote. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Ayes have it for zero. Next resolution to approve special permit.

The eyes have it for zero. Item D this evening, you're safe, like, item D this evening on the public hearing is a resolution to approve special exception 23-019905, new Baltimore Fire Hall and application for category seven special exception for adaptive use of a public safety building as an indoor technical school and as a contractor's office shop and material storage yard and a category 13 special special special permits to allow a business office with six or less employees. Thank you very much. As you mentioned, the application has those two parts, the category seven special exception and the category 13 special permit. This is regarding the former public safety building in the Leibaltmore Fire Hall. These are located at 5303 and 5317 Lee Highway in the Leibaltmore area of Warranton. They're zoned R1 and are generally surrounded by residential uses the land used for both subject parcels is office park within the new Baltimore service district plan this district plan is included in chapter six of the county comprehensive plan the global office park area is to create a mix of businesses education recreation personal services and public and quasi public uses it calls for pedestrian infrastructure including trails and sidewalks and offers guidance for signage and dense landscaping to screen these businesses from Lee Highway. The applicant is associated with the existing businesses and the Virginia Mechanical Trade Institute, which operate out of Manassas. They would like to utilize the first floor level of the building which is shown here facing the highway as a contractor's office for their existing business. The office would be open 8.30 to 8 Monday through Saturday and have six full time employees. The applicant has proposed 10 parking spaces for this use. On the basement level of the fire hall facing Gray's Mill Road, the applicant is proposing adaptive use as an indoor technical school. The school would operate all days of the week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. including two class sessions, one during the day and one during the evening. The curriculum separates each class into a four-hour lecture and a four-hour lab. The applicant has proposed up to six instructors on staff with three present for each of those classes and up to 25 students per session noting that this is their future goal and enrollment will likely be less in the early years. All activities and storage will be indoors. 23 parking spaces are proposed with this use, and the applicant has indicated three 15 passenger vans will be used to provide transportation for students to reduce the parking demands as needed. The second portion of the application is for the category 13 special permit to allow the use of the existing residential structure on the adjacent lot to be used as a business office with six or less employees. This office would provide supplemental administrative and operative office space for the contractor's office and the technical school in the new Baltimore Fire Hall. This home is currently owned by the applicant. The office would be open from 8.30 to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. With the zoning ordinance, they could have a maximum of six employees, no equipment or material storage, no retailer or wholesale sales. The six parking spaces for this use are currently and will only be accessed through the fire hall parcel. This summarizes the associated site improvements. The two existing gravel entrances will be closed and re-vegetated. The remaining concrete entrance on Grace Mill would be brought up to V.O.T. standards and a gate and fencing will be added. Landscaping and screening are proposed around the entire parcel. In total the applicant is proposing 39 parking spaces for all three of the uses. WSA has reviewed the application and the applicant will be abandoning the existing well-on-septic systems and they'll connect to the public utilities. This slide also represents the proposed improvements. You can see the buildings and the associated parking. green and yellow you can see the proposed landscape buffers and the pedestrian easements to be dedicated to the county. applicant has also provided examples of their five foot and seven foot high security fencing that they'll be using. We discussed the two necessary findings this morning related to the existing design of the building being appropriate for the proposed use and that the traffic generated should not cause an undue impact or adversely affect the safety of Greysmill Road, which is a local road. The planning commission and its four to one vote believe that both of these findings could be made. The conditions recommended by the planning commission have been separated into each use, but the contractor, these restrict the hours and the number of employees to what has been requested, only indoor storage will be permitted. For the technical school, the conditions will allow for the requested two sessions of classes with a maximum of three instructors and 25 students with a minimum of 30 minutes between the sessions. There's also a condition requiring the use of the ride sharing bands for any classes greater than 15 students. Hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. all days of the week in the basement level of the Firewall Building and in the enclosed student training area structure to be constructed in place at the existing shed. For the business office and the residential home, the conditions would set the hours of operation and a number of employees based on the zoning ordinance and what was requested, no public visits and no retail sales or storage. The building must maintain a residential appearance. The property would continue to only be accessed through the fire hall parcel parking would be screened from neighboring residents and if signage would be permitted. This morning we discussed the conditions related to landscaping, fencing, access and the closure of the two existing gravel entrances and lighting. A site plan will be required. This item was heard by the Planning Commission in their April meeting. There were two speakers in support. We received one letter from an adjoining homeowner raising concerns related to the level activity associated with the proposed uses and the increased potential traffic on Grays Mill Road and the turning movements onto an off of Lee Highway. The Commission voted four to one to recommend approval subject to the revised conditions that we discussed. We received no other letters of public comment and I'm happy to happy to answer any questions. Any questions? I do have a question, and I'm sorry that I am just now noticing this after this is probably the eighth time I've looked at this application. But it mentions the upstairs is 1800 square feet. Somehow the downstairs directly underneath the upstairs is almost 6,000 square feet. What am I missing? We've also noticed that it's the way that the building is shaped. So we are going with what the applicants have requested, so we're trusting that that's right. Right, what if it's wrong or are there any unintended consequences? I have no problem with the applicants use. Is there something that could come back to bite somebody at some point if that is wrong? We have conditioned it based on the square footages and we have it in coming from the planning commission to this board. We have revised one of the conditions to include the outdoor structure which is not so clear in the planning commission but we feel like we've got it handled in the conditions. Okay. The other question I have is regarding the fence, is that a critical element would, I think it would look out of character on Route 29 going down the road and seeing that fence unless it's behind the vegetation. Is it, is it a vegetator buffer between the fence and the road? Yes. It is. All right. I got a problem with the questions. I'm glad we've made it this far. I think the fence was there for several times as well. All right. Any other questions? Okay. I'll go ahead and open the public hearing at this time. First speaker, Linda Hamilton, Scott District. Good evening, Mr. Chair. Okay, my name is Linda Hamilton. I've lived on hillside drive for almost a half a century. In any event, my husband and I, we raised our family, we paid our taxes, and we are very familiar with the New Baltimore Fire Station. I think you're dealing with apples and oranges when I looked at the trade school and what that was going to be and it looked like it was going to piggyback probably on to Virginia Mechanical Trade Institute. Hopefully, hopefully, there has been someone that has done a site visit by the Federal Accreditation team to see if they are eligible for FAFSA funding for their students. And that there is someone that has state certified, expertise of a trade does not equate to an administrative or teaching abilities. I'm a retired teacher librarian. So I looked at that, and then I also looked at the contractors headquarters and I thought, okay, use your library skills, look this thing up. What I found was the meaning of that is the main officer administrative center of a company that provides construction or service work. The company's executive management and key managerial and support staff are located there. The main office of a corporation. Okay that is nothing to do with the trade school. The job of a contractor's headquarters is managing all business activities. They are also the operational center of a company where business activities, management, and administration takes place. That's the orange. The apple I thought was probably our trade school. And again, a detailed course curriculum with specific learning objectives, teaching methods, assessments, and who is providing startup capital for this venture. These are questions that as a resident of Hillside Drive, I'm asking not only my neighbors but myself and I'm thinking, and why. So I would like this to be tabled so you have two issues to look at not just one combined issue Sorry, okay. Thank you very much for your patience and your time Next speaker is Marion Harder. I'm with Walsh Kluci, Libelayan Walsh. Also with me tonight are Jo Nell Cameron, who is a shareholder with the record. My name is Marianne Harder. I'm with Walsh Klootchi, Luba Lionwalsh. Also with me tonight are Jo Nell Cameron, who is a shareholder with the firm as well as our civil engineer Jerome Gonzalez, as well as the applicant, Martin Jeanir and Jo Mariano. So if there's any other questions about the application itself with the operations of both the business, the apples and the oranges, which I think was just mentioned. It is indeed an apples and oranges application. There is the indoor technical school as well as the business office and the reuse of the existing home as an office as well as the upstairs portion of the fire hall for the contractor's office. So I'll be very brief because I believe Kate Linda did a wonderful job giving you an overview of the fire hall for the contractor's office. So I'll be very brief because I believe Caitlin did a wonderful job giving you an overview of the entire project and how it works on the property itself, the circulation and how the parking and the school itself will be operated. So I really think just to be very timely about things the Wall Street Journal yesterday and today, Raman or article about the vocational schools across the country and how they become very important tools for communities in developing high school students. And they have found that with these vocational schools and these training programs, these high school students are vying for jobs that potentially could create or they can earn up to $70,000 right out of high school. So it's a really new kind of type of educational training that is being emphasized across the country. And I think this applicant is bringing to Falkier County an excellent opportunity. And with this particular location, I think it is a we feel it is a perfect location as well. With respect to just the comprehensive plan and the zoning, obviously the special exception and the special permits will handle those elements that are required by the zoning. But the comprehensive plan itself as pointed out in the staff report is for an office part which is to accommodate this not only these office uses but also the educational component as well. So what is being proposed is supported by the comprehensive plan and I think I just want to leave with one other. We can certainly answer any questions that you might have technically about the application. But again, the driving force here is jobs and creating space for young people, as well as people maybe changing careers. An opportunity to create a new life or a new career for themselves. We were doing a little research last month in preparation for the planning commission and if you go across some of these job search websites like ZipperCuder and Indeed, there were thousands of jobs available online going. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So thank you. Next speaker is Joe Mariano. Good afternoon. I'd like to take a moment. Oh, excuse me. My name is Joe Mariana. I will be leading the charge in Virginia Mechanical Trade Institute. I will be the director. I am very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of our curriculum. Before I start what I have prepared, I would like to address one thing. We will be nationally accredited. As soon as we have this address in the books, we will be nationally accredited with the NCCR for our curriculum. Furthermore, we are already certified through the Virginia Works program, which is now in place of Department of Labor for the apprenticeship program. vision vision will be creating opportunities for students to earn one late-learn. So in four years, we can take someone with no experience or knowledge and turn them into a state licensed HVAC technician with a secure well-paid career. This is powerful. individuals individuals the ability to provide, provide their families, health insurance, dental insurance, foreign K, and to do it with zero debt, with the sky's the limit in this field. This doesn't even consider the benefits of the community. Every single home and business relies on HVAC technicians. It's a restaurant that has a walk-in cooler, not maintaining temperature, causing hazardous food conditions, or a hospital with an MRI machine that has been down for weeks. Because there's no qualified technicians available to diagnose and repair the cooling system. I'm talking about our schools, our libraries, our community centers, our food warehouses, and our homes. Not just comfort, cooling, or refrigeration, everything we do requires tradespeople. First to install, then to repair and maintain. Maintain our comfort, our safety, and our quality of life. This is why every seat matters. Every seat's a life changed, and the call answered. This school matters. We're not a traditional school. This isn't where you go to school eight hours a day and necessarily we have night classes. So during the day, these people will be working in the field learning to trade hands-on, they'll be fixing things, repairing things, learning where to buy the parts for these equipment. And at night, they go get the formal education they need to get licensed. This is a Virginia Works program, state sanctioned, state license, and we're gonna follow everything. We will be getting annual, if not more, reviews and audits by multiple organizations. And as soon as we have our website up, everybody will be able to see that and be out in the open. Thank you. Thank you. Michael Russell, Scott Dister. Hello, my name's Michael Russell. I grew up in Falcure County in fifth grade. We grew up in 5296 Hillside Drive. I went to PB Smith Elementary School, Falkure High School, Washington, Jr. High, Virginia Tech, joined the Army, see the world. Guess where I got sent, Ben Still. Okay. So I've lived in talk here pretty much on my life. And I just want to draw attention to the notice, which I can't read. It's posted by this row. It's the size of the paper. Can you read this? It's about this side. By the way, I do appreciate seeing the plan. I didn't see plenty before. On all four education. Okay, but there's a lot of education in Paul Kierke telling that most technical, there's a lot of education in Paul Kierkounning, there's a lot of community colleges and I'd like you to consider my traffic. Okay? Green and I've been there since I'm going to spend great, about the house when my dad passed away. And I love Paul Kierkowney. I like being rural. By the way, I got a notice about subdivision on my road after they already approved it. So I'd like you all to please give us some advanced notice notice like this is the first time I saw the plant and Really that's my big beef how many of you all went to Paul care? Just one I Want the liberty, okay? That's okay. It's Paul Kierz County School. But I want you to take in the account some of us old farmers or whatever, I'm not a farmer, I'm an engineer. Okay, but I've jumped with the 80s, the 100s, I'm an army, I'm an all-american, and see, be nice to neighbors. Okay, like when I go to the road to get out, I'm concerned about traffic. I really am because I wait a lot of time just trying to get across the road in the morning. And I do not want to go all the way around 605 or go over by the radio station and out. I do not want that and I don't want another light. So I'm just giving you a little rural perspective from country board. Thanks. Thank you. That ends the public speakers. All right. Seeing no public, anyone else want to speak to this issue? Just that EDI with that help. Okay. All right. Seeing no one else, I will go ahead and close the public hearing and look for a motion. Mr. Chair, I move that we approve the special exception. Number two, three, dash, 019905, a new Baltimore fire hall. Category seven, special exception for adaptive use of the public safety building as an indoor technical school and as a contractor's office, shop and material storage yard. Let me just clarify, there's no outdoor storage. And this, so I think the application changed but the title did not. That's my understanding as well. So let me retract the last three or four words as a shop and a category. So I'm striking the words material storage art. I don't believe they're part of the application. If Marion, if that is incorrect, please speak now for every old repeat. Okay. And a category 13 special permit to allow business office with six or less persons employees It's pin number 7906-32-2231 and 7906-21 9928 in the Scott district I have a motion to have a second second of a motion in a second Adam, did you want to say something on this? I saw you moving up here. The language referring to the material storage art is related to the zoning ordinance category, which is why it's in the title of the resolution. The conditions clearly indicate in several places, everything will be indoors. Okay. Thanks for that clarification. Thank you. Thank you, Adam. All right, any further discussion? Okay, I'll go ahead and call the vote. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? The ayes have it for zero. Next this evening is a resolution to approve a special exception 25-023827. 11-003 webersville road and application for a category 20 special exception to install a private individual sewage treatment system, which discharges into an open ditch. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the board. This property is located at 11003 we've heard of a road within the built in service district. It is 1 acre and zoneed rural residential. The surrounding properties are zoneed rural residential and agriculture and have residential and agricultural uses. The home on the property was built in 1960 and has a conventional septic system installed in the 1980s that has failed. The Virginia Department of Health issued an intent to deny a permit for a conventional replacement system to inadequate soils for a drain field. For this reason, 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 to replace the existing field system. The proposed system will be designed to meet the requirements of the existing three-bedroom home and will undergo all required startup testing and ongoing compliance testing thereafter. The property owner will enter into a maintenance and monitoring agreement with a licensed operator. The applicant has stated that installation will mitigate the failing system, resulting in improved groundwater quality and allowing continued use of the existing residential use. The treatment system includes a new septic holding tank, a robot treatment unit, ultraviolet disinfection unit, and an engineered discharge stitch which extends to a natural soil at the property line. The applicant has stated that it is unlikely the treated water will ever exit the property given the length of the discharge stitch. The conditions included in the attached resolution require that the system will be designed to discharge an average flow less than or equal to that required for the existing free bedroom and home only. All existing septic tanks will be abandoned per VDH requirements. The operation maintenance performance and monitoring of the system will be in accordance with all regulations including a maintenance and monitoring contract with a licensed operator as required by the Department of Health. An effluent meter and remote telemetry alarm device will be installed to ensure the system remains in compliance with all discharge limitations. The Planning Commission discussed the application that they're able to meet and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the special exception. I'm happy to answer any questions. Any questions? All right. Thank you very much. Would I have an open the public hearing? First speaker Pam Pruitt, Senator District. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Here on the behalf I'm a private water and wastewater consultant, souls consultant. I have 40 years of years of experience in on-site water and wastewater. I'm here on the behalf of my client. If there's a failure to approve his request, what I would like for you to know is that the only alternative is permanent pump and haul of sewage. That is removal of septage or sewage from the septic tank every time that it becomes full. That is not a sustainable option. The septic tanks are designed to hold two days worth of effluent of sewage from the home at peak loading conditions. That based on if the tank is pumped twice a week, that's $31,000 a year. That is not a sustainable solution. That will result in a greater environmental health impact and installation of a discharging sewage treatment plant that would treat water, treat the effluent to a very high degree, and disinfect it before releasing it into a roadside ditch. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That was the last speaker. All right. Anyone else want to speak to this matter? Okay, I'll go ahead and close the public hearing on this and look for a motion. I moved to approve the special exception 25-023827-11003 Weaver's bill road or the category 20 special exception to install private individual sewage treatment system. And I will go ahead and second the motion. Any discussion? All right, hearing none, we will go ahead and call about all those in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? The aye is habit five or excuse me, 40. Last this evening is a resolution to approve special exception 25-023962, Vinhil self-storage, an application for a special exception to allow the construction of an indoor self-storage facility with an aggregate building footprint in excess of 50,000 square feet in the PCI district, PCIB district. Thank you. The proposal includes two properties located at the corner of Kennedy Road in Edmore Court in Vint Hill within the New Baltimore Service District. The parcel is totaled just over 7.8 acres in our zone PCID. The surrounding properties are zone PCID and agriculture and have commercial and industrial or agricultural uses. The property is subject to a rezoning amendment approved in 2018. The applicant is seeking a special exception approval to allow construction of the proposed indoor self storage facility in compliance with the recent zoning ordinance text amendment that requires special exception approval for any new structure or group of structures serving the same enterprise with an aggregate footprint exceeding 50,000 square feet in the PCID district. The Vint Hill Conservancy has reviewed the proposal and provided a letter of support. The proposed facility has an aggregate footprint of just over 107,000 square feet. The total of six buildings included two story building housing, the business office and climate controlled indoor storage units and five additional buildings housing exterior access units. Access to the property will be from Edmaw Court via two gated entrances with a vated gated stormwater management access on the north side of the property. Perimeter landscaping will be provided in accordance with those any ordinance. The applicant estimates the business will consist of two employees and serve an average of 20 customers per day. The proposed office hours of operation are Monday to Friday, to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. And customers will have 24 seven access to the buildings, gated area and individual units via a touchpad code for electronic key card. They will be an estimated 44 vehicle trips per day, including employees, customers, and delivery travel. According to the applicant, the largest proposed exterior access building is scaled to accommodate larger storage items for tradesmen and other such users. However, there's any word that limits self-storage to personal property and household goods only. Accordingly, the Planning Commission has recommended a condition limiting storage to these types of goods and included another prohibiting indoor or outdoor storage of RVs and motorized vehicles or equipment, which is not an approved use in the PCID district. Also to reduce impact on neighbors and maintain the county's dark sky objectives, the Planning Commission has recommended conditions requiring a glazing on the upper story windows to prevent light pollution and limiting visible interior lighting to the proposed office hours of operation. At their April Public Hearing, the Planning Commission reviewed the application and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the special exception. There were two speakers in support. Recommended conditions include a front yard buffer along Edmore Court, consistent with that required on Kennedy Road, that units will be limited only to storage of the types of goods permitted under the zoning ordinance and other conditions related to the office hours of operation, interior lighting, window tinting, circulation, and emergency vehicle access. An approval of the project by Event Help Conservancy will be required prior to site planning release. I'm happy to answer any questions. Any questions? I just wanna confirm that this is just for the SE because of the 50,000 foot requirement and that all of the conditions that might be imposed by the conservancy and or from a site plan will occur after this. Correct. And the applicant is okay with those conditions that have been suggested. As far as I know, yes. Well, we know about Pilo real estate. Other than its own about Matt Pilo, it's all I know. Matt, are you here? That's all I know about it right there. I've never seen it, so I'm just asking. I'll be the one to go over to the other. Gotcha. All right, any questions? Thank you very much. I'm going to go ahead and close the public hearing and look for a motion. Chair, I move that we approve the special exception. 25-23-962. Then he'll self-storage. Application for special exception to allow the construction of indoor self-storage facility with an aggregate building footprint in excess of 50,000 square feet in the PCID district. Ken number 7915-772963 and 7995-774480 in the Scott District. 4880. Zero zero zero zero zero. Anyway, okay. I have a motion to have a second. Any further discussion? I'll get in call the vote.
