County Board Wrap-Up: Interim Salt Storage Structure
A
B
The
major
controversy
was
that
we
didn't
really
follow
our
standard
processes
in
Arlington
for
civic
engagement,
about
the
decision
to
locate
this
temporary
structure
where
it
would
be,
and
to
do
the
rezoning
require
take
the
rezoning
action
required
in
order
to
do
so
and
I
think
folks
really
felt
like
that
was
a
breach
of
trust.
The
the
reasons
that
there
was
not
more
extensive,
engagement
or
twofold,
with
a
much
stronger
emphasis
on
the
on
the
ladder.
The
the
first
is.
B
This
is
a
temporary
use
right,
so
we
probably
wouldn't
have
done
the
the
extensive
public
facilities
review
that
we
might
do
for
something,
for
example
like
a
community
center
that
will
exist
for
the
next
50
years.
However,
the
the
more
salient
reason
is
that
the
chief
building
inspector
made
a
decision
or
determination
that
the
permanent
salt
storage
facility
that
has
been
serving
the
northern
part
of
the
county
for
many
decades
was
no
longer
safe
to
operate
this
summer.
B
There
sees
me
this
winter,
which
laughs
approaching
rapidly
approaching,
with
left
the
board
with
a
really
constrained
timeline.
The
board
expressed
both
when
we
advertised
the
rezoning
in
July
and
again
at
this
meeting,
our
frustration
with
that
decision
and
I.
Don't
think
any
of
us
think
this
is
optimal,
nor
the
way
that
we
would
like
to
proceed
in
Arlington
in
terms
of
civic
engagement
notice
and
beyond.
So
that
was
the
source
of
the
controversy.
B
We
are
looking
at
I
think
some
some
really
diminished
opinions
of
the
county
and
how
we
do
a
process,
and
so,
as
we
think
about
not
only
the
setting
up
of
this
temporary
facility,
but
the
long-term
master
planning
for
the
site,
which
we
can
talk
about
in
greater
depth.
We're
all
recognizing.
We
have
both
an
opportunity
and
are
at
a
little
bit
of
a
deficit,
to
rebuild
trust
right
now,
particularly
with
the
neighbors
surrounding
this
site.
So.
B
That's
a
great
question:
it
depends
a
little
bit
on
how
quickly
the
the
long-term
visioning
exercise
most
warden
is
completed.
The
the
long-term
master
planning
task
force,
which
for
which
we
adopted
a
charge
this
month
and
which
will
appoint
members
next
month,
is
asked
to
consider
the
future
home
permanent
home
for
this
all
facility,
and
so
as
they
are
able
to
conclude
their
work.
B
If
there
is
a
clear
recommendation
for
where
that
permanent
facility
can
go
and
as
we're
able
to
identify
the
money
within
our
capital
improvement
plan,
we
will
be
been
able
to
take
down
the
temporary
facility.
But
it
is
temporary
in
terms
of
a
matter
of
years,
probably
about
at
least
three
years,
potentially
maybe
a
little
more
rather
than
for
example,
months.
But.
C
C
But
it's
you
know
really
and
truly
snow
in
in
November
is
not
a
is
not
uncommon,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
ready
by
November
1,
and
if
we
didn't
have
that
ready,
then
our
ability
would
be
extremely
hampered
to
service
all
the
roads,
in
particular
that
the
the
neighborhoods
in
North
Arlington
that
are
serviced
by
this
location.
So
we
had
to
be
make
sure
that
we
were
in
place
by
November
1.
So.
A
B
It's
in
the
test,
verses
scope
is
considerably
larger,
so
a
great
reference
point
here
might
be
if
we
think
about
the
community
facilities
study
that
landmark
group
in
2015
that
made
a
series
of
recommendations
about
approving
joint
planning,
actually
between
counties
and
schools
developed
for
us
a
use,
determination
process
when
we
have
a
patch
of
land
in
the
county
and
this
one,
the
area
around
the
salt
facilities,
7.6
acres.
What
are
the
steps
that
we
work
through
to
think
about
what
could
fit
here?
B
What
should
go
here
what's
compatible
for
those
uses,
and
so
this
group
will
be
studying
not
only
the
permanent
home
for
salt
operations,
but
also
mulch
storage,
leaf
operations
and
storage,
some
of
the
other
industrial
or
light
industrial
needs
that
are
important
for
serving
the
county
as
well
as
open
space,
something
like
Park
land
uses
there
and
we've
really
tried
to
keep
it
as
open-ended
as
possible.
We
suspect
there
might
be
members
of
this
group
that
are
interested
in
studying
school
facilities,
housing,
there's
really
more
outside
of
the
box
pictures.
C
C
Even
highly
visible,
and
so
we've
spent
a
great
deal
of
time,
though
working
with
the
community
and
discussing
with
the
community
through
the
joint
facility
Advisory
Committee,
that
looked
at
when
we
were
contemplating
acquiring,
what's
known
as
the
buck
sight
on
Quincy
Street
across
the
street,
from
Washington
Lee,
High
School,
and
we
did
acquire
that
sight
and
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
there.
That
still
needs
some
some
planning
to
go
with
it.
