D
A
Any
opposed
motion
carried
all
right.
Next,
we
have
the
citizen
comment
period.
I
only
have
four
people
signed
up
to
speak
for
the
citizen
comment
period.
This
is
not
for
the
public
hearing.
This
is
outside
of
that.
So
we
do
have
two
other
public
hearings,
8
c
and
8
d
that
we
have
people
signed
up
for.
So
I
will
call
on
you
for
those
when
we
get
to
them,
but
first
I
have
nancy
kartowski
I'll,
remind
everyone
that
you
have
three
minutes.
A
E
My
name
is
nancy
kortowski.
I
live
at
113
hunters,
creek
road
across
the
street,
from
the
cotton
town,
manor
development
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
damage
to
my
drainage,
easement.
That
was
done
from
the
runoff
over
the
years
from
this
development,
and
I
just
found
out
the
property
was
sold
two
and
a
half
months
ago
to
southwood
real
estate
gastonia
north
carolina.
E
So
my
questions
are
this:
does
tom
bell
think
he
no
longer
has
a
responsibility
to
fix
my
drainage
easement?
As
was
stated
in
the
july
6
26
2021
board
of
supervisors
meeting
where
he
wanted
to
be
a
good
neighbor
and
his
engineer
partially
followed
through
having
a
plan
but
never
submitted
it
and
was
the
damage
to
my
drainage,
easement
disclosed
to
southwood
real
estate.
E
So
it
seems
like
it's
it's
about
loopholes
and
how
to
get
around
the
loopholes
with
tom
bell,
he's
gotten
away
with
a
lot
and
he
hasn't
fixed
a
lot
of
things
also,
and
so
I
guess
my
message
for
tom
bell
is
remember.
We
didn't
start
the
fire
you
did
and
the
devastating
ripple
effects
it's
had
on
our
community,
leaving
those
affected
to
mop
up
after
you.
A
A
H
So
how
can
I
go
and
take
my
children
that
are
four
six
and
eight
and
have
teenagers
too,
but
those
to
have
discussions
which
they
are
way
too
young
to
have
so
it
was
brought
to
our
attention
the
community
rallied
and
we
sent
emails.
We
did
phone
calls,
we
went
in
and
complained
and
said
this
should
not
be
in
front
of
the
children's
section.
It
needs
to
be
in
the
adult
section,
because
this
is
adult
material.
H
The
world
is
desensitizing
our
children
to
evil,
and
we
cannot
allow
that
to
happen.
However,
I
will
say
that
when
we
went
today,
they
had
removed
every
single
one
of
the
books,
so
community
matters,
when
you
stand
up
for
what's
right
for
our
children,
they
will
listen.
But
what
I'm
asking
the
board
is
to
issue
a
rebuke
to
the
library,
because
I
think
bedford
library
also
has
that
same
thing,
and
it
should
never
ever
happen
in
this
community,
where
the
majority
of
the
citizens
are
god-fearing.
H
A
I
A
B
A
L
M
M
A
M
D
A
N
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
it
has
come
to
our
attention
that
you
have
one
of
the
most
amazing
women
in
this
entire
region.
As
your
emergency
services
department,
chairman
head
and
after
we
had
done
a
little
research
and
then
confirmed
that
she
would
be
available
tonight,
we
decided
that
it
would
be
fitting
and
proper
to
award
her
this
very
significant
award
that
the
sons
of
the
american
revolution
has
been
presenting
to
people
for
about
50
years.
N
I
think
it's
probably
the
first
one.
That's
ever
been
presented
to
somebody
in
bedford
county,
and
I
think
that
that's
an
amazing
thing
as
well,
because
you've
got
an
amazing
group
of
people
in
bedford
county.
I
used
to
work
here.
I
was
a
teacher
at
liberty,
high
school
for
22
years,
and
so
I'm
very
familiar
with
a
lot
of
faces
in
this
room.
N
I
think
it's
also
important
to
let
everybody
here
know
that
we
gave
sheriff
retired
sheriff
brown,
the
law
enforcement
award
in
a
ceremony
back
in
march
for
all
the
work
he
had
done
with
the
computer
crimes
and
many
other
things
so
sheriff
brown
also
received
an
award
from
the
amer
from
the
sons
of
the
american
revolution
earlier
this
year.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everybody
was
aware
of
that
as
well.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
patrick
henry
chapter,
the
sons
of
the
american
revolution,
we're
proudly
and
we're
with
distinction.
Thank
you.

Q
Q
It's
0.2
miles
from
the
east
lynchburg
salem
turnpike,
which
is
460
and
on
new
london
road,
which
is
route
811..
It's
27.67
acres,
it's
currently
zoned
r1,
which
is
low
density,
residential
and
its
proposed
zoning,
is
medium
density.
Residential
the
proposed
use
with
the
special
use
application
would
be
the
townhouse
use
with
217
units.
The
the
election
district
is
number
three.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Oh,
it
is
called
the
towns
of
new
london
and
these
are
the
voluntary
proffers.
We
did
send
those
to
you
earlier.
There
was
an
amendment
to
them.
We
sent
those
in
an
email.
Earlier
today
the
applicant
has
offered
up
three
voluntary
proffers,
the
first.
The
project
will
be
developed
in
sustainable
compliance
with
the
prelim
preliminary
site
plan.
The
layout
may
be
may
need
to
be
adjusted
during
design
to
meet
unforeseen
site
constraints.
Q
The
project
will
have
a
maximum
of
217
townhouse
units
per
the
traffic
study.
The
first
phase
of
the
development
will
be
96
units
or
less,
which
does
not
require
any
improvements
to
throughout
811
route.
460
intersection
for
the
subsequent
development
beyond
96
units
improvement
may
need
to
be
may
be
required
and
shall
be
made
in
accordance
with
vdot
requirements,
as
vdot
may
deem
necessary.
Q
Q
Increased
in
residential
homes
to
serve
development
will
generate
between
27
to
87
public
school
children
per
the
calculations,
depending
on
the
number
of
bedrooms
per
unit,
and
these
are
the
projections
for
the
2022
2022-2023
school
year,
with
jefferson
forest
high
school
being
at
83
percent
capacity,
forest
middle
school
being
at
71
capacity
and
new
london
academy.
At
103
capacity,
it
will
be
recommended
as
close
to
non-residents
and
in-county.
Zoning
transfers.
Q
Q
If
route
460
slash
route,
811
intersection
is
to
remain
in
its
current
configuration
in
the
year
2027,
they
will
need
to
build
a
200
foot.
Southbound
right
turn
lane
with
a
200
foot
taper
at
the
development
site
entrance
request
a

to
implement
a

on

This

Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
O
I
A
A
Q
R
S
The
owner
developers
agreeing
to
the
unit
limit,
but
not
necessarily
the
funding
of
improvements
since
vdot
is
planning
major
improvements
to
the
intersection.
I've
got
a
letter,
an
email
from
mr
daniel,
who,
I
think
is
present
this.
It
correct
me
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
there,
sir,
but
I
have
a
in
this
email,
says
that
there
are
currently
no
plans
to
make
improvements
at
this
intersection
and
as
development
occurs
in
the
area,
this
intersection
will
continue
to
see
additional
traffic
volumes,
so
we
would
not
expect
the
level
of
service
to
improve.
S
S
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
correct
on
that
that
the
point
that
mr
daniel
made
to
me-
I
it's
to
me.
It's
erroneous
information
because
it
says
their
vdot
is
playing
a
major
improvements
to
that
intersection,
and
I
have
an
email
from
mr
daniel
which
says:
vdot
is
not
planning
significant
improvement
so
which
is
it,
and
I
have
an
email
from
mr
daniel
that
says
they're.
Not
all
right
then
can
staff.
S
R
So,
to
my
knowledge,
there
are
no
improvements
planned.
It
will
end
up
being
some
type
of
smart
scale,
submittal
that
is
kind
of
what
what
we
were
talking
about
during
the
planning
commission
meeting,
so
it
would
be
like
a
county
submittal.
I
think
you
have
the
hearings
for
later
tonight
those
type
of
applications
that
we
would
submit
to
the
state
for
funding,
which.
A
A
B
J
Thanks
ms
morrison,
thank
you,
chairman,
sharp
members,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
board,
I'm
brett
marston
with
the
law
firm
of
gentry
lock,
and
I
noticed
that
when
the
chairman
said
jam
89
a
llc,
it
was
kind
of
like
what
is
that.
So
the
first
thing
I
want
to
do
is
make
sure
you
all
understand.
Everybody
here
understands
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
rumors
about
who
jam-89
llc
is
and
who
they
aren't,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
understand
that
before
we
get
started.
J
First
of
all,
I'm
representing
them
I'm
an
attorney
with
gentry
lock
in
roanoke
and
I'm
glad
to
say
that
I'm
a
resident
of
huddleston,
so
I
didn't
have
to
come
too
far,
and
I
didn't
get
shipped
in
from
dc
to
talk
about
this
tonight,
I'm
here,
because
I
grew
up
in
this
part
of
the
world.
I
care
about
this
part
of
the
world,
I'm
a
resident
of
this
part
of
the
world,
and
this
is
an
important
part
project
for
this
county
in
this
region.
J
This
is
in
large
part
about
where
bedford
county
and
its
comprehensive
plan
execution
is
headed
all
right
with
that
introduction,
let
me
introduce
some
folks
who
are
here
real
life,
folks
who
grew
up
in
this
part
of
the
world
and
who
care
and
people
set
up
llcs.
Now
that's
how
they
do
these
projects.
Somebody
has
to
own
the
property
right,
they're
real
people
behind
this
tonight,
you're
going
to
hear
from
not
only
me
who
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
about
some
general
matters,
you're
going
to
also
hear
from
norm.
J
Walton
who
was
mentioned
earlier
norm
is
with
perkins
and
orson
engineering
firm
located
here.
In
bedford
county,
he
lives
near
the
intersection.
He's
been
working
a
long
time
on
this
norm,
stand
up,
I'm
sure,
you're
familiar
to
the
ladies
and
gentlemen
on
the
board
and
others
here.
We
also
have
greg
lester,
who
has
done
a
lot
of
development
in
this
county
and
is
part
of
the
team
with
jam.
89
llc
you're
also
going
to
hear
about
a
group
called
elevate
communities,
and
that
is
the
actual
developer
that
will
be
developing
this
property
greg.
J
If
you'll
just
stand
up
quickly
too,
I'm
sure
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
greg
and
then
also
there's
been
a
lot
of
rumor
about
who
is
actually
that
owns
and
runs
jam,
89
and
elevate
communities
who's
doing
this
project?
Is
it
the
same
people
we've
been
hearing
about
that?
Don't
necessarily
satisfy
nearby
our
neighbors
and
residents.
No.
This
is
not
the
folks
that
were
being
alluded
to
earlier.
This
is
chris
lagley
and
chris.
J
J
They
want
a
project
that
they
because
they
live
right
here
and
the
county
can
be
proud
of.
No
doubt
about
that.
So
you're
going
to
hear
a
slightly
different
presentation
tonight
than
you
might
normally
hear.
I'm
not
going
to
try
to
bore
you,
but
I'm
going
to
throw
out
a
few
facts
and
a
few
things
that
I
think
that
the
county
has
itself
wanted
to
focus
on.
But
I
think
that
may
be
looked
over
at
the
planning
commission
you're
going
to
hear
from
this
team
tonight.
J
We
also
have
some
folks
in
the
audience
who
I
think
will
speak
on
behalf
of
this
there's
folks
who
submitted
emails
and
letters
on
behalf
of
this
project
on
behalf
of
the
growth,
the
smart
growth
that
we're
talking
about
here
this
evening
and
I'm
gonna
have
to
confess
to
you.
This
is
the
first
one
of
these
I've
done
one
partner
here,
mr
weigard
has
done
a
lot.
I
typically
do
construction
related
cases.
I
didn't
know
how
many
people
would
happen
to
show
up
at.
One
of
these
looks
like
a
good
crowd.
J
What
I
figured
is
everybody
would
be
here
against
it,
I'm
going
to
go
out
on
a
limb
and
say
that
I
would
like
anybody
who's
here
to
support
the
resolution
and
the
ordinance
to
please
raise
your
hand,
hi
wow,
thank
you,
and
just
for
the
record,
I'm
going
to
take
another
leap
of
faith
here
and
say
that's
at
least
50
percent
of
the
people
in
this
room.
Mr
chair
I'll.
J
J
Now,
most
of
that,
I
believe,
is
from
a
neighborhood
that
is
not
contiguous
to
this
property.
I
think
it
is
very
important
for
the
members
of
the
board
to
understand
that
there
is
a
piece
of
property
contiguous
to
us.
I
think
most
folks
are
aware
that
that's
likely
to
be
developed
as
well
and
there's
not
been
one
person
who's
come
from
that
development
team
and
objected
to
the
town
homes
that
are
being
proposed
here
I.e.
They
seem
to
be
concerned
that
it's
going
to
devalue
their
property.
That's
immediately
next
door.
J
J
A
J
It
succinctly:
yes,
sir,
and
I've
got
three,
and
I
want
to
talk
about
the
comprehensive
plan.
We
have
a
number
of
reasons
why
we
think
it
is
critical
that
the
county
take
this
project
on
under
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
I
want
to
look
at
a
couple
of
the
points
too.
One
of
them
is
the
this.
The
county
at
the
moment
has
not
achieved
the
level
of
housing
that
this
type
of
project
is
going
to
provide
it's
critical
time
for
housing.
Also,
the
zoning
and
the
comprehensive
plan
do
call
for
this
squarely
now.
J
Let's
look
closely
at
each
of
these
points.
There's
been
I've
done
a
lot
of
research.
You
don't
have
to
trust
me.
I
think
most
of
you've
read
probably
as
part
of
your
jobs,
that
there
is
a
housing
shortage
in
the
workforce,
type
housing
in
the
region
as
a
whole
and
in
bedford
county.
The
comprehensive
plan
speaks
to
that.
J
There's
articles
all
about
needing
this
middle
tier
workforce,
housing,
type
of
of
development,
and
the
impact
of
this
is
that
there
needs
to
be
places
for
young
persons
in
bedford
to
stay
and
live
locations
for
older
folks
to
downsize
and
stay
here
and
when
businesses
are
coming
here
to
consider.
Where
are
my
employees
going
to
live,
there's
very
little
to
no
inventory
of
workforce
housing
in
this
county?
This
is
not
affordable.
Housing.
We're
talking
about
that's
a
different
tier.
This
is
a
middle
tier
of
housing
that
will
be
nice,
roomy
town.
B
J
Absolutely
so
this
is
not
affordable
housing
we're
talking
about
these
are
nice
roomy
townhomes
that
will
support
and
attract
workers
and
in
turn,
businesses.
There
are
other
counties
that
have
taken
this
on
as
apartments.
That's
not
what
we're
talking
about.
If
you
look
at
this
particular
slide,
I'm
just
gonna
go
down
here.
J
The
county
has
very
little
properties
that
are
zoned
like
apartments
in
r4,
we're
not
asking
for
that.
We're
asking
for
nice
town,
home
development
and
that's
what
has
been
elected
to
do
in
towards
bring
in
economy
and
residents
in
botata
county,
for
example,
but
we're
not
asking
to
do
apartments.
We're
asking
to
do
nice
luxury
townhomes
now.
One
of
the
other
things
to
consider
is
that
bedford,
county's
median
age
has
stunningly
increased,
and
maybe
I've
contributed
to
this.
My
fault
to
what
we
see
on
the
slide
here.
A
46.6
is
the
median
age.
J
Bedford
county
is
aging
at
an
unsustainable
rate
right
now,
it's
time
to
address
and
turn
that
tide
and
that's
what
exactly
we're
proposing
with
fresh
quality
housing
with
unique
elements
to
it,
and
what
we
suggest
to
you
is
that
there
are
folks
who
need
this
and
I'll
hand.
This
slide
out
to
you
when
we
finish,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
like
I
mentioned,
who
need
this
college
graduates?
We
want
to
stay
here
who
are
from
this
region.
There
are
a
lot
of
colleges
around
here,
then
the
bedford
county,
comprehensive
plan
speaks
to
this.
J
This
is
not
just
some
goal
or
aspiration
that
this
jam,
89
elevate
communities,
team
dreamt
up,
there's
199,
page
comprehensive
plan
that
was
put
in
place
in
2007
and
updated
in
2015
by
the
county
itself.
Now
at
the
planning
commission,
this
got
overlooked
and
we'll
take
the
fault
for
that.
We'll
take
the
blame
that
that
was
not
brought
squarely
enough
at
that
time,
but
it
is
exactly
on
point
there
if
you
go
through
and
I
can
give
you
some
of
the
quotes.
J
But
if
you
look
at
this,
the
comprehensive
plan
supports
the
purposes
of
this
application.
Economic
development
in
the
plan
is
a
priority
for
the
county.
It's
in
the
zoning
ordinance
as
well.
Economic
development
is
a
purpose.
Housing
is
in
there.
It
speaks
to
this
housing
directly
impacts.
Economic
growth.
Housing
is
a
priority,
thus
for
the
county.
J
A
variety
of
housing
is
also
mentioned
in
there
there.
The
key
quote:
I'm
not
going
to
give
you
too
many
quotes
housing
in
many
varieties,
and
prices
are
critical
to
a
dynamic
and
vibrant
community
and
economy.
Too
often,
people
working
in
jobs
within
a
locality
cannot
afford
to
live
in
the
neighborhoods
of
that
same
community
straight
out
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
Thus,
given
this
imbalance,
the
development
of
a
diverse
housing
stock
for
the
regional
workforce
is
a
factor
for
bedford,
county's
residential
development
trends.
J
I
did
it
again,
so
those
are
quotes
straight
out
of
it
and
it
also
directly
mentions
workforce.
Development
is
a
priority,
and
housing
in
this
location
is
a
priority.
Why
is
that?
Because
if
we
look
at
the
map
that
miss
morrison
showed
you
earlier-
and
I
think
the
chairman
asked
a
question
too,
about
the
public
utilities
that
are
there,
infill,
meaning
putting
residential
where
the
future
land
use
map
calls
for
it
and
putting
residential
where
there
is
already
the
utilities
to
take
care
of.
It
is
smart
development.
J
It's
the
way
that
development
should
work,
as
the
comprehensive
plan
itself
says
about
this
areas
that
currently
have
developed
lands
and
can
support
further
development
are
primary
targets
for
growth
in
housing,
commercial
and
industrial
uses.
That's
what's
going
on
in
new
london
and
that's
what
the
county
needs
and
the
plan
says
that
it
should
encourage
and
develop.
Incentives
to
have
infill
development
take
place
in
the
areas
of
the
county's
growth,
where
there
is
infrastructure,
and
we
talked
about
the
future
land
use
map.
It
fits
squarely
within
where
the
future
land
use
map
is.
J
This
is
a
growth
area
of
the
county
and
the
residential
area.
It
has
the
amenities
to
take
care
of
it.
So
the
comprehensive
plans
fully
supports
the
plan
and
the
application.
There
are
some
concerns
that
have
been
raised
about
sprawl.
There
are
481
900
acres
in
this
county.
This
is
a
27.6
acre
area
that
is
going
to
be
developed
into
some
very
nice
homes,
for
a
workforce
of
this
community
and
for
the
businesses
that
want
it.
J
J
J
What
would
it
do,
if
not
here
where,
if
not
now
when,
and
I
would
say
that
if
we
don't
go
out
on
these
efforts
when
you've
got
a
developer
who's,
this
committed
we're
going
to
never
know
if
we
let
these
manageable
hurdles
stand
in
our
way,
mr
mr
orrison
is
going
to
address
some
of
the
technical
issues
that
have
been
raised
by
this
application.
He's
an
engineer,
who's
been
involved
in
this
all
along,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time.
Hopefully
I
didn't
take
too
much
of
it.
Yes,.
T
Thank
you
brett
good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
mr
chair,
my
name
is
norm.
Walton,
I
usually
don't
do
this.
I
usually
refer
to
myself
as
an
engineer
for
perkins
and
orson,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
live
at
12.95
ap
hill
place,
which
is
about
a
mile
and
a
half
from
this
project.
So
I've
lived
in
that
house
for
20
years
and
I
don't
plan
on
moving
anywhere
after
this
is
developed.
T
T
Looking
at
the
property,
miranda
gave
a
very
good
summary
of
the
project.
This
is
an
r1
zone
property.
We're
asking
it
for
to
be
resumed
to
r2
with
a
special
use
permit
for
townhouses
and,
as
you
mentioned,
going
through
the
trc
process,
staff
has
assured
that
we
are
meeting
the
current
zoning
ordinances
and
the
uses
for
townhouses
in
r2.
T
T
The
green
line
across
the
adjacent
property
shows
the
route
that
we
were
planning
for.
The
sewer
extension
mr
langley
was
able
to
secure
an
easement
from
the
landowner
when
he
purchased
this
property,
and
that
purchase
was
also
under
the
understanding
that
this
would
be
dedicated
to
brwa
as
a
public
sewer
easement.
All
the
all
the
sewer
lines
within
this
development
will
be
public.
T
T
T
Traffic
has
been
one
of
the
major
concerns
overall
through
planning
commission
has
already
been
brought
up
here.
We
have
provide
prepared
a
traffic
study
in
the
traffic
study
and
the
recommendations
here
were
produced
by
epr,
which
is
a
third
party.
Engineering
firm
hired
by
the
developer
and
vdot
has
verified
these
findings,
so
we
can
build
up
to
96
units
without
any
improvements
into
route
460..
T
T
T
There
are
options
with
and
without
garages
we
are
attempting
to
use
unique
facades
with
contemporary,
which
are
contemporary
and
attractive.
There
will
be
spacious
floor
plans
larger
than
your
typical
townhouse
development
that
we
so
commonly
think
of
and
we'll
utilize
a
various
varied
building
materials.
So
it's
not
going
to
be
on
all
vinyl
front,
we'll
have
brick
and
block,
and
hardy
plank,
using
a
variety
of
materials
to
make
them
interesting
and
attractive.
T
These
facilities
will
be
low
maintenance
for
the
homeowner
for
convenience,
so
we're
going
to
check
the
box
for
buildings
as
our
buildings
and
the
neighborhood
that
we're
going
to
develop
will
be
attractive.
Functional
spacious
and
convenient
schools
has
also
been
a
hot
topic
regarding
this
project
and
by
report
by
bedford,
county
public
schools.
T
T
T
So
then,
the
the
percentages
of
capacity
then
would
change
from
76
percent
to
78
percent.
There
is
capacity
throughout
the
before
county
school
system
for
the
increase
in
students
that
would
be
generated
from
this
site
as
with
roads.
The
development
will
not
occur
overnight
and
so
they're
likely
to
be
68
years
before
the
complete
build-out
for
the
county
to
react
and
provide
solutions
for
the
the
overcrowding,
especially
at
new
london
at
103.
T
So
we
feel
there
is
a
workable
solution
for
the
school
problems
that's
been
mentioned,
so
we're
going
to
check
the
box
on
schools.
We,
the
the
the
three
voluntary
profits
that
have
been
offered
by
the
developer,
have
been
read
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
and
read
those
again,
but
I
did
want
to
try
to
explain
proper
number
three
a
little
bit
better
and
for
a
point
of
emphasis
and
care
clarity.
T
The
last
proffer
means
that
the
developer
is
agreeing
to
pay
for
improvements
required
by
this
development
in
460..
We
will
work
with
vdot
at
the
time
of
permitting
to
assess
what
improvements
may
be
necessary
at
that
time.
A
re-analysis
of
the
intersection
may
be
required,
so
we
may
have
to
go
back
and
revise
the
current
traffic
study
that
you
see
here.
T
T
So
at
this
point,
as
far
as
the
the
technical
review
checklist
we've
checked,
all
the
boxes,
the
zoning
is
good,
utilities
are
available
and
we
have
capacity
for
this.
Development
traffic
is
manageable.
Our
buildings
are
great,
the
schools
are
manageable.
We
have
offered
profits
to
guarantee
the
project's
success
and
we
have
fire
in
ems,
which
we
do
not
believe
is
a
problem.
T
U
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
greg
lester.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
bedford,
county
and
educated
in
the
county
schools
attending
liberty,
high
school
and
later
received
a
degree
from
the
college
of
agriculture
and
life
sciences
at
virginia
tech.
I
grew
up
on
a
dairy
farm
in
forest
called
lejac
farm
on
periville
road
right
beside
jefferson
forest
high
school
today.
That
farm
is
known
as
farmington,
and
it
is
comprised
of
665
homes,
including
single
family,
town,
homes,
apartments
and
condominiums.
U
U
By
design,
we
included
a
mix
of
housing
in
our
community
to
meet
the
very
needs
of
the
families
we
would
not
have
included
townhouses
or
apartments
if
we
thought,
including
them
would
be
a
devalue
to
our
single-family
homes
and
they
have
not
been.
We
have
many
streets
of
single-family
homes
that
regularly
sell
in
the
450
000
to
the
650
000
range.
U
U
We
are
targeting
middle-priced
homes
or
some
call
it
workforce
housing
in
the
price
range
of
275
000
to
350
000,
and
these
prices
are
subject
to
adjustments
due
to
the
fluctuation
in
the
construction
industry
going
on
right
now,
but
homes
in
this
price
range
are
in
very
short
supply
and
their
scarcity
is
restricting
businesses
from
locating.
Here
in
our
county,
I
received
that
information
firsthand
from
the
former
direct
economic
director,
tracy
blyto,
bedford,
county
needs,
businesses
and.
U
Need
workers
and
workers
need
housing
that
they
can
afford.
We
are
confident
that
we
can
help
meet
that
need
and
create
a
community
with
lots
of
amenities
that
will
be
an
asset
to
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
the
county.
I'm
asking
you
the
board
to
let
us
to
continue
to
assist
bedford,
county
and
its
citizens
by
providing
brand
new
quality
homes
here
in
this
designated
development
corridor.
W
Good
evening,
mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
chris
langley.
It
is
my
privilege
to
be
here
in
front
of
you
this
evening
to
ask
for
your
support
to
let
us
build
and
provide
217
luxury
town
homes
for
sale.
This
community
will
be
exceptional
and
many
families
will
thrive
here,
while
calling
at
home.
W
W
W
W
W
A
lot
of
you
all
wouldn't
be
here
tonight,
opposing
this
there
wouldn't
be
new
housing.
Bedford
would
be
a
much
older
community
than
it
is
brett
pointed
out
that
it's
it's
only
been
30
years
that
bedford,
county's,
median
age,
has
gone
from
35
years
of
age
to
46.6
years
of
age.
I
can't
imagine
another
place
on
earth.
That's
aging,
as
fast
as
it
is,
we
need
some
new
communities
for
new
blood
to
be
able
to
move
in,
or
else
who
will
serve
you
at
the
stores
who
will
work
in
this
building.
W
W
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
We
would
ask
for
a
right
to
reserve
some
rebuttal
time
if
there's
a
need
for
that,
and
we
also
have
printed
out
just
a
few
I'll
hand.
These,
maybe
to
mr
skelly
a
few
of
the
checklists
that
were
on
the
slides
that
we
went
through
pretty
quickly.
So
we
would
like
to
hand
those
to
you,
so
you
can
see
them
and
consider
the
points
made.
We
do
appreciate
your
attention
to
this
and
look
forward
to
further
questions.
If
there
are
any
okay.
S
T
Certainly
so
on
townhouses,
now
I'm
an
engineer,
so
I'm
kind
of
getting
out
of
my
wheelhouse
a
little
bit
here,
but
by
the
international
building
code
by
the
building
code
adopted
by
barefoot
county.
We
have
to
have
a
fire
rated
wall
between
units
and
I
believe
that
has
to
be
two
hours
and
so
there's
a
number
of
different
ways
that
you
can
do
that
and
I
think
the
most
common
way
is
by
double
plying
the
drywall
to
create
a
two
hour
fire
window
and
that's
by
code.
T
T
A
Right
all
right,
thank
you
all
right.
Next,
we
have
the
public
hearing.
This
is
why
many
of
you
are
here.
I'm
gonna
just
start
calling
the
names
in
the
order
I
have
them.
Everyone
will
have
up
to
three
minutes
to
speak.
I
will
cut
you
off.
We're
gonna,
be
here
a
while
tonight.
If
we,
if
we
continue
to
go
over
so
first
up,
I
have
brent
epperson.
A
X
X
You
can
go
in
there
right
now
and
and
do
the
county,
a
big
favor
and
drop
50
or
60
homes
on
it
and
as
far
as
like
mr
counts,
you
want
to
know
what
he
thinks
knock
on
his
door
and
hand
him
your
book
you'd
be
lucky.
If
you
don't
hit
you
in
the
head
with
it,
I'm
serious,
I
mean
I
think
he
would
want
to
have
something
more
like
a
neighborhood
like
somerset
or
london,
downs
right
out
his
front
door.
X
You
know
they're
going
to
be
building
220
houses
right
there
on
811.,
we've
already
got
london
downs,
220
going
right
there
with
counts
properties,
somerset
meadows
I
mean
this
is
this
is
ginormous
for
new
london
academy,
you
put
10
more
kids
in
each
of
those
classrooms.
You're
not
teaching.
You've
got
a
daycare
center,
those
teachers
and
those
kids,
those
families,
I'm
not
sure,
there's
enough
acres
there
to
build
another
school,
but
you're
going
to
have
to
you're
gonna
somebody's
gonna
have
to
build
something
and
this
high
density,
townhome
project.
X
X
X
X
If
somehow,
this
causes
in
some
way
200
acres
of
forestry
and
farmland
to
be
turned
into
a
neighborhood
or
single
dwelling
homes,
single-family
homes,
but
boy-
that's
that's
bedford,
county!
I
mean
I
see
it.
You
come
down
221
out
there,
casa,
loma
and
the
rest
boy.
That
is
that's
our
strong
suit,
but
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
children,
the
teachers
and,
what's
going
to
happen
at
new
london
academy,
okay,
it's
not
below
capacity
it's
above
it
and
we've
got
220
coming
in
I
mean
it.
Are
we
three
minutes
already
time
flies
when
you're
having
fun?
D
D
Matt
smith,
1263
colby
bgi
force
virginia,
I'm
going
to
focus
on
three
things
today.
You
know
kind
of
listen
to
what
you
heard
and
I'm
gonna
try
to
do
in
three
minutes.
I'm
gonna
be
quick,
I'm
gonna
focus
on
quality
or
I'm
sorry,
safety,
quality
and
your
profit
right.
You
know
in
my
job
I've
got
a
team.
I've
got
to
keep
them
safe,
that's
the
number
one
job
I
have
it's
the
number
one
focus
right
safety
first
and
I
listened
to
this-
I
saw
your
check
boxes.
D
I
saw
everything
that
you
had
and
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
very
much,
but
we
as
as
the
board
of
supervisors
as
the
team,
that's
responsible
for
keeping
us
safe
in
the
community
and
not
just
me,
but
everyone
else,
driving
up
and
down
the
road
riding
their
bikes
on
the
road
and
everything
else
you
know.
Do
we
have
the
fire
in
place?
Do
we
have
the
ems?
Do
we
have
the
traffic
in
place?
You
know
we
have
a
solution
for
turning
into
the
development.
What's
the
solution
for
turning
out.
D
What's
the
solution
for
turning
out
of
sheets,
if
someone
gets
hit
in
the
road,
if
a
biker
gets
hit
and
they
die,
is
it
the
driver's
fault
or
is
it
the
person
or
the
group
that
puts
in
the
development
that
over
overcrowds
the
road
you
know
who's
who's
at
fault?
You
know
where's
the
responsibility
there.
I
want
to
focus
the
second
thing
on
quality.
D
You
know
one
of
the
reasons
that
people
come
to
the
area
is
because
of
the
way
the
area
is.
You
guys
talked
about
growing
up
here
right,
you
didn't
grow
up
in
northern
virginia.
You
grew
up
in
bedford.
That's
the
quality
that
attracts
the
people
here
that
we
want
to
keep
the
people
here
right.
That's
the
quality
of
life
that
we
want
and
quality
extends
into
the
classrooms.
D
My
wife's
a
teacher
at
force
forest
middle
school.
They
just
finished
a
massive
development.
There
growing
the
school.
You
know
doubling
the
size
almost
and
now
they're
already
at
71
capacity,
73
there
83
at
the
high
school.
We
continue
to
add
people.
Add
to
this
area
going
to
those
schools.
Is
that
really
quality
that
we
want
for
our
children
and
for
everyone
coming
in
not
only
for
the
people
here,
but
the
people
that
move
into
the
developments
that
move
into
the
areas?
What's
the
quality
look
like
for
them?
D
D
So
that's
the
quality
piece
and
finally,
on
the
profit
piece
like
I'm
all,
for
development
and
and
making
money?
That's
why
we're
here?
That's
why
we
all
work.
We
wouldn't
work
if
we
didn't
make
money,
because
that's
that's
bottom
line,
we'd
all
be
retired
right.
You
know,
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
development
coming
in.
I
want
the
development
right,
but
do
we
want
217
homes
packed
into
27
acres
when
we
already
have
another
220
homes
coming
in
right
next
to
our
behind
the
the
dollar
general
there
you
know.
D
Are
we
ready,
for
that?
Is
the
board
of
supervisors
prepared
as
the
county
prepared
for
all
the
infrastructure
for
everything
in
place?
Let's
not
put
the
cart
in
front
of
the
horse.
Let's
do
it
the
right
way
make
sure
that
everything's
ready,
if
we
could
put
in
the
homes,
reasonable
priced
homes,
for
people
to
live
in
to
grow
and
the
development
and
the
community
that
attracted
the
people
in
the
first
place.
That's
what
I
look
for
so
close
to
three
minutes.
I
wish
you
gave
me
five.
A
Y
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board
of
supervisors,
chairman
sharp.
Thank
you
guys.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
out
this
evening.
I'll
try
to
be
brief
as
well.
Three
minutes
is
is
short,
but
there
we
go.
I
first
want
to
start
off
by
saying
you
know
I
I
agree
with
mr
langley
is
not
like
other
developers
that
may
have
been
mentioned
here
this
evening.
Y
I've
known
him
for
many
years
he's
a
man
of
his
word,
a
man
of
integrity,
and
I
appreciate
calling
my
friend
so
I
thank
him
for
what
he
does
and
I
know
the
quality
of
work
he
builds.
This
is,
however,
not
about
that
and
our
concerns
for
the
community
in
our
area,
and
I'm
sorry,
I
forgot
to
say
I'm
zach,
martin,
I'm
the
chairman
or
the
president
of
the
somerset
meadows
owners
association,
which
we
have
206
homeowners
over
there.
Y
Those
of
you
know
members
of
other
parts
of
bedford
county
who
show
up
here
tonight.
You
know
I
don't
go
to
huddleston,
I
don't
go
over
to
monita,
I
don't
have
input
of
what
happens
in
huddleston
or
monita
or
or
boonesboro
or
big
island
or
any
other
parts
of
the
county,
and
I
don't
show
up
at
those
you
know
in
meetings
relative
to
zoning
ordinances
over
there
right.
Y
I
care
about
what's
happening
in
my
little
community
and
community
matters,
and
the
residents
of
my
community
came
here
and
spoke
overwhelmingly
in
opposition
to
the
planning
commission,
proving
this
and
planning
commission
was
kind
enough
to
vote
it
down
and
we
hope
the
board
of
supervisors
would
or
not
recommend
it.
We'd
hope
that
you
guys
would
also
not
vote
in
favor
of
that
community.
For
the
reasons
we've
stated
already
the
reasons
mr
smith
stated
and
a
few
others.
Y
You
know
I
talk
about.
You
know,
look
at
the
schools
and
I
know
you
would
redistrict
the
schools
and
reallocate
those
kids
and
I
just
think
about
what
a
detriment
that
is
to
all
their
friends
and
all
their
schoolmates
and
all
the
family
members.
In
our
community,
when
all
of
a
sudden
they're
told
you
can't
go
to
school
here
anymore,
because
217
tell
homes
are
going
to
come
in
here,
you
got
to
go
to
a
different
school.
We
got
to
redistrict
you
out
of
the
area
and
make
it
to
where
it's.
Y
You
know
less
of
a
family-friendly
community
and
people
that
in
our
neighborhood
go
to
school,
with
kids
just
to
notice
at
8
11,
all
of
a
sudden
don't
go
to
school
with
those
kids
anymore,
and
I
think
that
would
be
a
detriment
to
our
community.
I
would
hope
that,
from
a
traffic
standpoint
we
talked
about
a
200-foot
taper
lane.
I
appreciate
that
you
know
66
yards.
We
can
put
that
far.
Y
I
would
hope
that
this
community
votes-
I
mean
this
board
of
supervisors,
votes
down
this,
not
because
it's
a
bad
project,
not
because
we
don't
need
more
housing
in
the
bedford
county,
but
because
it's
not
the
right
place
for
it
and
ultimately
there's
a
precedent
that
you
set
for
what
happens
when
someone
buys
a
couple
hundred
acres
or
20
acres
on
the
other
side
of
london,
downs
golf
course
with
a
farm
there
and
they
want
to
put
300.
You
know
homes
right
there
across
the
blue
ridge
church.
Y
You
just
said
yes
to
this
one
and
rezoned
this
one
three
tenths
of
a
mile
away.
Why
not
go
and
do
that
one?
And
at
some
point
you
have
to
ask
the
question
of
where
do
we
stop
and
where
do
we
say
we
have
to
put
a
plan
together
for
sustained
growth,
that's
responsible
for
our
community,
and
today
I
don't
think
any
of
the
solutions
recommended
by
jm89
or
for
vdot
accomplished
that
so
we'd
appreciate
you
vote
against
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Z
At
the
planet,
commission,
one
of
the
fellows
said-
I
don't
see
anybody
here
talking
for
this
project,
so
I
thought
well
I'll.
Take
it
on
myself
to
be
the
guy
that
speaks
for
the
project,
I'm
a
developer
too
and
been
in
the
real
estate
and
development
business
for
almost
42
years,
and
some
of
you
are
going
to
hear
some
objections
from
some
people
talking
about
things
like
maybe
devaluation
of
property.
In
all
honesty,
in
42
years,
I've
never
seen
a
new
project
devalue
a
piece
of
property
next
door
or
in
the
area.
Z
I've
never
seen
it
you're
going
to
hear
people
talk
about
traffic,
a
lot
of
them
last
time
we're
talking
about
the
church
traffic
backing
up
well
golly.
If
I
got
to
wait
a
few
minutes
to
whatever
to
get
out
of
my
driveway,
because
a
lot
of
people
are
going
to
church
I'd
like
to
see
people
keep
going
to
church,
you
know,
so
I
don't
see
a
lot
of
those
issues
in
involved
with
this
with
this
particular
project.
Z
In
fact,
if
anything,
I
think
is
the
perfect
place
to
do
the
project,
because
you
guys
have
invested
money.
The
brwa
has
invested
money
and
putting
a
sewer
sewer
plant
down
there,
and
my
understanding
is
that
sewer
plant
had
to
have
dog
food
fed
into
it
and
stuff
to
actually
get
it
to
work
right,
and
so
it
seems
to
me,
like
you,
know,
more
development.
There
is
a
good
thing.
I've
been
there
since
1993..
Z
I
could
say
that
each
one
of
these
people
that's
got
up
and
spoke
have
taken
away.
Some
of
my
quiet
and
solitude.
I
can
say
that
they've
destroyed
some
of
my
view.
I
used
to
have
a
thomas
kincaid
view
like
over
to
bethel
bethel
church
over
there.
It
was
a
half
mile
away,
but
beautiful,
but
anyway,
with
that
said,
I
enjoy
my
neighbors,
I'm
glad
they're
there
I'm
glad
they
came
because
when
I
came
out
there
there
was
a
golf
course
and
not
much
else.
Z
Z
We
have
a
food
line,
grocery
store,
we
have
a
doctor's
office
and
we
have
many
other
things
that
are
conveniences
that
come
with
people
coming
and
if
we
don't
give
our
people
pla,
our
young
folks
particularly
places
to
live,
then
guess
what
they
move
away.
They
move
to
the
other
side
of
town.
They
can't
find
a
place
right
there
close
by.
I
would
love
for
all
my
kids
to
live
close,
but
anyway,
thank
you
for
your
time.
V
What
I
was
going
to
address
was
the
comprehensive
plan,
I'm
big
on
doing
things,
the
smart
way
and
cam,
and
it's
been
in
existence
since
1980
and
for
42
years
I
mean
after
42
years.
We
should
be
getting
good
at
it
and
I
think
bedford
county
has
got
a
good
plan.
You've
pushed
designated
this
area
as
a
growth
area
for
this
that
this
kind
of
development
can
be
in,
and
that
being
said,
I
think
that
I
am
in
favor
for
the
comprehensive
plan.
V
Now,
the
fellow
from
gentry,
ray
clock
and
moore
went
through
the
comprehensive
plan,
all
the
things
I
wanted
to
say
so
I'm
not
going
to
be
redundant.
But
the
last
thing
that
I'd
like
to
say
is
is
that
I
know
of
chris
langley.
I've
only
met
him
one
time,
but
I
have
followed
his
projects
and
I
will
tell
you
that
when
he
does
a
project
he's
got
deep
pockets
and
he
won't
hesitate
to
pull
the
trigger
to
make
it
better.
AA
AA
My
husband
and
I
have
sold
80
homes
in
the
past
year,
totaling
20
million
dollars
and
we
sure
love
bedford
county.
We
have
four
adult
sons:
they
all
still
live
at
home,
we're
we
live
in
brookstone,
my
college
age
and
graduate
sons
do
not
believe
they
can
afford
to
maintain
residency
in
bedford,
county
due
to
cost
and
supply,
and
so
they're
still
at
home.
So
I
need
your
help
today.
Please
essential
workforce
and
retiree
housing
is
a
major
need
in
bedford
county.
AA
I
wanted
just
to
give
you
a
snapshot,
so
I
got
on
the
lynchburg
mls
today,
because
I
was
just
curious.
I
said
I
just
want
to
know
what's
available
out
here
right
now
today,
so
there
are
87
homes
in
bedford,
county
listed
today
that
are
300,
000
or
less
87..
Six
excuse
me,
87
that
are
listed.
16
are
300.
000
or
less
do
you
know
how
many
in
forests
that
are
listed
today
are
300,
000
or
less
the
money
we
have.
We
have
one,
we
have
one,
that's
it.
AA
AA
AA
One
year
ago
there
were
48
condos
built
in
farmington
and
my
husband,
and
I
we
brought
buyers
for
15
of
those
condos.
We
did
not
have
them
listed,
but
we
sold
one
third
of
the
condos
in
an
entire
development.
How
did
we
do
that?
Well,
we
realized
they
were
a
great
opportunity
for
people
to
get
into
bedford
county.
We
sold
them
to
many
retirees.
AA
A
whole
lot
of
retirees
bought
essential
workforce
employees
and
there
were
some
families
we
sold
to
who
had
kids
at
a
local
university
and
wanted
a
really
great
place
for
them
to
reside
my
husband
and
I
we
even
bought
two
of
them
for
investments.
My
82
year
old
mother
was
able
to
sell
her
1972
brick
ranch
in
lynchburg
that
she
bought
brand
new
and
moved
to
bedford
county
in
bop
those
condos.
She
loves
it.
It's
been
quiet
over
there.
I'm
there
all
the
time.
AA
Seeing
her
the
1500
square
foot
units
ended
up
attracting
singles
and
couples.
There
were
very
few
families
with
kids,
so
that's
my
kind
of
take
on
that
kind
of
a
development
going
up
within
a
residential
area.
We
desperately
need
more
properties
like
this
in
the
county.
My
sons
would
like
to
purchase
here.
I
would
like
them
to
stay
here,
maybe
not
in
my
house,
but
in
a
location
close
by.
Thank
you.
H
I'm
back,
my
name
is
mary,
catherine
bennett
and
I
live
in
forest,
and
I
am
here
to
oppose
this
development.
I
am
a
mom.
I
have
six
kids
and
I
have
a
special
needs:
son
that
goes
to
new
london
academy
and
because
his
special
needs
were
zoned
for
boonesboro,
but
I
make
the
drive
and
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
traffic.
H
I'm
also
concerned,
because
I
have
friends
that
have
special
needs
children
and
in
order
for
them
to
do
the
preschool
they're
now
having
to
be
moved
because
new
london
academy
is
so
overwhelmed
that
they're
having
to
instead
of
their
zone,
which
is
new
london
they're
having
to
go
all
the
way
to
ottawa
river.
So
that
is
an
hour
drive
for
this
mom
that
she's
having
to
do
three
times
a
week.
H
I
mean
that's
there
and
back,
but
that
is
just
one
of
the
many
examples
I
have
a
lot
of
people
that
I've
talked
to
and
all
of
them
are
very,
very
concerned
mainly
because
of
the
schools.
I
know
that
there
will
be
needed
redistricting
for
the
schools,
but
when
you
do
these
town
homes-
and
I
know
that's
what
I
did
because
I
came
from
san
antonio
1.4
million
people-
and
I
came
to
bedford
for
a
reason-
I
wanted
smaller
community,
more
conservative
values,
really
good
schools,
so
what
their
people
are
going
to
come
in
here.
H
Just
like,
I
did
and
say
hey.
I
want
to
go
to
this
school
because
it's
a
great
school
and
you
know,
find
homes
in
these
areas.
They're
going
to
want
to
come
to
these
developments
and
then
they're,
going
to
rezone
everything
and
so
everyone's
going
to
get
confused
and
then
they're
going
to
do
the
whole.
Where
you
go
in
and
like
a
lock
land
lock.
What
is
it
called
the
school
zone
when
you
go
in
and
you
don't
have
to
transfer
out?
H
I
don't
know
where
it's
called,
so
I
am
very
much
opposed
the
traffic's
already
bad
and
I
have
spoken
to
many
teachers.
I
have
spoken
to
leadership
and
parents,
and
you
know
I
I,
like
the
demographic.
I
know
everyone's
46
is
bad,
but
I'm
36
and
I
really
think,
there's
a
lot
of
maturity
in
this
county,
and
I
really
appreciate
it
so
I'm
just
here
to
oppose
it
and
to
say
that
I
do
believe
in
development,
but
there
are
so
many
other
places
in
bedford
county,
which
could
be
better.
H
AB
Me
hello,
I
was
born
and
raised
in
bedford,
virginia
many
of
y'all
might
be
a
little
bit
too
young,
but
my
grandmother
made
all
the
handmade
biscuits
at
the
peaks
of
otter
delicious.
If
you've
had
one
my
grandfather
owned,
a
small
peach
orchard
that
we
had
people
that
drove
from
miles
just
to
get
some
of
his
peaches.
AB
So
I
had
a
much
longer
speech
prepared,
but
I
know
that
y'all
are
getting
tired
of
hearing
all
of
us,
so
I'm
gonna
keep
it
very
short
and
ask
that
y'all
do
vote
in
favor
of
this,
for
not
only
people
like
myself
and
my
husband,
but
my
nieces-
that
they
can
actually
live
here
instead
of
having
to
move
to
raleigh,
to
try
and
find
housing
for
them.
So
please
vote
in
favor
of
this
project.
Thank
you.
AC
I'm
a
resident
of
london
downs
subdivision
right
across
the
street,
from
the
new
proposed
development
in
my
opinion,
is
that
another
quality
residential
community
will
be
a
positive
impact
on
our
community,
whether
it's
townhouses
condos
or
single-family
homes.
It's
not
apartments,
so
it's
not
rentals
and,
in
my
opinion,
you're
not
killing
green
space,
but
creating
thriving
communities
with
beautiful
homes
and
landscaping
to
better
the
area
and
offer
much
needed
new
housing
opportunities
like
the
previous
talked
about.
AC
This
will
increase
tax
revenue
for
the
county
and
potentially
increase
membership
at
londondowns
golf
course,
while
building
a
stronger
community
around
me.
I
do
know
the
developer
chris
langley
and
have
no
ties
with
him
professionally
financially,
but
he
is
an
incredible
visionary
and
he
sees
things
through.
AC
AD
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board
for
allowing
me
to
speak,
I'm
dodd,
harvey
co-owner
of
consensus,
real
estate
services
and
I'm
a
real
estate
appraiser,
I'm
a
certified
residential
appraiser
and
a
also
a
licensed
real
estate
salesperson
with
32
years
experience
and
in
appraisal,
work
and
37
years
of
experience
in
sales,
and
I
received
a
phone
call
last
week
from
chris
and
and
greg,
and
they
just
asked
me
they
said
dodge.
Would
you
look
at
this
project
and
would
you
tell
me,
would
it
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
marketability
of
the
other
neighborhood?
AD
AD
One
is
over
in
farmington.
Is
you
you're
going
to
see
stony
ridge,
some
new
condos
well
to
get
the
stony
ridge
condos
which
in
the
price
range
of
200-
and
you
know
they
start
out
at
189
to
225
somewhere
in
there?
You
have
to
go
through
single-family
homes,
so
they
sold
like
hot
cakes.
They
couldn't
build
them
quick
enough,
but
in
the
meantime,
you
went
through
450
to
500
thousand
dollar
homes
that
just
also
sold
light
hot
eye
cakes.
So,
but
what
it
did
was
those
condos
provid
filled
a
void.
AD
It
filled
a
void
that
it
gave
another
alternative
housing
right
there
and
I
think
what
people
are
missing
is
suppose.
You
said:
hey,
I'm
here
to
build,
I'm
about
to
build
single-family
homes.
We
have
single-family
homes
at
400,
000
to
500
000
price
range.
This
is
a
maintenance
free
that
guess
what
the
same
people
in
those
neighborhoods
they
may
want
to
say.
I'm
tired
of
cutting
the
grass
I'm
trying
to
maintain
and
guess
what
I
want
to
buy
one
of
those,
because
I'm
ready
for
a
lifestyle
change
I'm
getting
to
that
too.
AD
With
this
gray,
hair
right
there,
you
know
so
so
that
that's
the
point.
I
want
girls,
it's
providing
something
that
new
london
doesn't
have
and
that's
town
houses
with
the
maintenance-free
lifestyle.
Now
the
other
thing
is
this:
you
first,
the
other
thing
you
need
to
consider
is
this
is
number
one:
are
they
going
to
be
quality?
AD
AE
Yes,
sir,
I
appreciate
your
time.
I'm
a
recent
I've
been
here
about
three
years
now
in
in
bedford,
county
and
I
live
over
in
monita.
The
reason
I
came,
the
only
reason
I
came.
I
have
10
grandkids
here,
six
of
them
live
in
forest
and
four
of
them
live
over
in
lynchburg,
and
my
greatest
concern
for
my
grandkids
is
housing
in
the
future.
AE
I
came
here
to
be
with
them,
but
I'm
honestly
afraid
guys
that
there's
going
to
come
a
point
when
they
grow
to
the
age
that
they're
adults
that
they
won't
be
able
to
stay
here,
they'll
go
somewhere
else,
because
there
won't
be
the
housing
that
they
needed
to
be
here.
So
I'm
also
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
great
grand
baby
that
was
announced
to
me
this
past
week.
AE
I
K
K
K
K
There
around
every
house
we
got
one
today
is
it
going
to
change?
Is
agriculture?
Coming
back,
I
hate
to
say
this,
but
not
when
I
came
to
bedford
county
in
1985
we
did
our
business
within
the
confinements
of
bedford
county.
We
have
to
go
anywhere
else
today
that
same
co-op
goes
serves.
Nine
counties
to
stay
profitable
change
is
inevitable,
but
we've
got
to
consider
for
a
future
bedford
county
we've
got
to
have
homes.
We've
got
to
have
industry.
K
If
we
don't
have
homes
industry's
not
coming,
we've
got
to
have
skilled
workers.
I
challenge
you
all
for
that,
but
I'd
be
remissive.
If
I
didn't
thank
you
all
for
your
position
on
solar
farms,
you
did
this
county,
a
great
justice
when
you
said
no,
and
anybody
exploring
go
to
pennsylvania
county
in
my
home
county
and
look
that
the
devastation,
the
ruin
of
farmland.
K
K
AF
AF
I
do
wonder
how
many
people
who
raise
their
hands
and
the
people
that
have
spoken
tonight
are
either
work
for
a
real
estate
office
or
a
realtor
or
work
for
a
law
office
or
someone
involved
with
it.
I
don't
know
how
many
were,
but
it
was
shocking
to
me
for
all
the
reasons
that
were
previously
stated,
newland
academy
is
currently
at
103
capacity.
It
will
be
a
strain
on
that
school.
That
vdot
does
not
currently
that
we're
sure
of
we're.
AG
AF
Sure
of
does
have
plans
in
the
works
for
substantial
improvements
to
that
area.
This
strain
on
the
ems
services.
For
all
this,
I
oppose
the
rezoning
I'm
not
opposed
to
housing.
I'm
not!
I
want
people
to
have
a
house,
I
mean
we
came
here
from
lynchburg.
We
love
our
house,
but
I
would
like
it
to
stay
as
an
r1,
single-family
residential
and
not
go
to
the
r2,
keep
it
for
what
it
was
zoned
for
was.
AF
It
was
intended
for
for
single
families
to
live
and
raise
their
kids
have
a
little
piece
of
land
themselves,
and
then
it's
great
that
you
guys
invested
in
the
water
and
sewer
in
that
area,
and
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
commercial
property
that's
coming
to
that
area,
but
I'm
wondering
where
we're
gonna
get
the
investment
for
the
roads,
the
schools
and
the
fire
and
ems.
I'm
just
wondering
where
we're
going
to
get
that
and
where
those
investments
are
going
to
come
from,
and
I
have
a
feeling
at
the
end.
AF
AG
AH
Live
at
1287,
colby
drive
and
somerset
meadows
neighborhood.
I
concur.
I
wonder
how
many
people
who
raise
their
hands
like
I'm
in
favor
of
this,
actually
live
in
somerset
meadows.
Neighborhood?
Probably
none
of
them
and
we've
heard
a
lot
of
great
things
tonight,
how
wonderful
and
nice
and
kind
and
talented,
and
how
much
these
guys
love
their
their
community.
It
doesn't
matter
you're
missing
the
point
great.
Yes,
we
need
more
housing.
Yes,
we
live
an
economy,
that's
shorter
housing.
Yes,
we
need
more
housing
and,
yes,
all
kinds
of
great
things
can
come
from
it.
AH
The
question
is
why
there
you
have
000
acres.
You
said
450
000
acres
in
the.
Why
there?
So
your
argument
doesn't
matter,
don't
care
how
nice
you
are,
how
many
years
you've
lived
here.
Look
I
came
here
12
years
ago,
homeless,
homeless.
Every
item
I
had
I
put
in
storage,
I
put
my
cat
in
a
castling
square,
had
two
kids,
nothing
and
ten
dollars
to
my
name
and
for
12
years
I
worked
my
rear
end
off,
so
I
was
one
day.
Half
the
house.
AH
I
actually
drove
in
that
neighborhood
somerset
meadows
12
years
ago,
and
I
prayed
to
god.
You
can
go
to
miracles
if
I
could
just
live
in
this
neighborhood,
because
it's
unlike
any
neighborhood
ever
and
two
years
ago
that
that
dream
came
true,
and
now
I
raised
five
kids
there.
What
about
my
rights?
What
about
the
205
families,
rights
that
live
in
that
neighborhood?
AH
What
about
that
does
it
matter?
I
understand
we
live
a
culture
in
a
climate
politically,
where
you
know
we're
being
told
and
all
kinds
of
things
imposed
on
us
from
the
government
and
state
and
everything
else.
What
about
the
little
guy?
I
don't
care,
there's
a
million
of
you
people
sitting
here
and
saying
we
should
do
this
for
this
great
for
the
great
for
the
community.
What
about
us?
I'm
enough!
My
five
kids
are
enough.
Those
200
people
in
there
are
enough
you've
heard
a
lot
of
premises.
Tonight.
You've
heard
a
lot
of
promises
tonight.
AH
You've
got
a
lot
of
power
and
pleasure.
People
can
make
money
off
this
realtor
and
everything
else
doesn't
matter.
The
one
most
important
question
you
have
to
ask
is:
is
there
anything
impure
here?
Is
there
anything
wrong
with
this?
I
don't
care
if,
if
99
of
it's
great,
if
there's
just
one
percent
wrong
one
percent,
that's
not
ethical!
One
thing
that's
unhealthy,
then
you
have
to
say
no
so
all
this
stuff.
About
all
these
reasons-
and
I
just
love
bedford
and
I'm
such
a
great
guy-
it
doesn't
matter,
you
have
205
families
there.
AH
It
affects
work,
my
rear
enough
to
buy
the
house
and
it's
not
the
same
as
farmington,
because
I
shopped
in
farmington-
and
I
didn't
want
my
kids
living
in
a
neighborhood
with
300
condos
in
it.
It's
not
look
at
the
home
values
in
farmington
compared
to
beverages.
So
what
the
stuff
you're
saying
is
not
true.
AH
It's
not
fair.
I
have
my
rights.
I
worked
hard.
I
want
to
sit
in
my
backyard.
The
bears
the
deer,
the
foxes
that
came
through
just
last
week
and
enjoy
those
trees
and
enjoy
that
with
my
five
kids,
I
don't
want
300
town
houses.
I
don't
want
people
looking
down
from
their
living
room
bedroom
into
my
house.
That's
my
right.
I
have
a
right
to
the
pursuit
of
happiness.
I
have
the
right
to
pleasure.
I
have
a
right
to
the
land
that
I
purpose
purchased
so
to
come
in
here.
AH
B
AH
Kinds
of
problems
with
it,
because
it's
your
neighborhood,
it's
your
backyard,
so
think
about
put
yourself
in
our
position.
It's
disrespectful!
It's
unfair!
It's
not
true!
I
don't
care
how
much
money
you
make!
How
pretty
you
make
it!
It's
in
my
backyard
that
I
work
that
I
mow
that
I
steward
that
my
kids
raise.
That's
my
right
to
my.
AH
G
A
G
Mast,
I
live
at
1169
hubs,
hill
lane
forest
virginia.
I
have
moved
six
times
in
the
last
seven
years
we
finally
adopted
bedford,
county
specifically
forest
as
our
home.
We
love
our
rural
life.
Here
we
spent
five
years
living
in
northern
virginia
and
frederick
county
and
in
frederick
county.
We
are
right
next
to
clark
county
clark.
County
is
sandwiched
in
between
frederick
county
and
loudoun
county
virginia.
G
I
think
most
of
you
all
know
that
loudoun
county
is
extremely
urban
and
has
become
so
very
rapidly.
Clark
county
in
the
1980s
actually
made
it
so
that
any
new
development
in
clark
county
had
to
be
at
least
five
acres
and
it
had
to
be
a
single
family
home.
That
is
the
reason
why
clark
y
clark
county
is
the
most
desirable
and
the
most
beautiful
place
to
live
in
northern
virginia
and
they've
kept
it.
That
way.
For
a
reason,
we
we
love
living
where
we
do.
G
G
G
I
assume
from
that
thomas
jefferson,
road,
which
is
where
I
live,
is
going
to
be
far
more
crowded
and
is
going
to
be
harder
to
turn
from
bellevue
road,
which
is
already
a
difficult
turn.
It
is
going
to
become
harder
and
more
dangerous
to
turn
onto
thomas
jefferson,
road
and
assuming
that
additional
traffic
will
eventually
require
renovations
to
thomas
jefferson
road,
and
I
assume
that
it
will
decimate
our
beautiful
trees.
G
A
A
AI
I
would
just
like
to
say
most
of
the
people
here.
Well,
half
of
them
have
stated
that
we're
not
opposed
to
houses,
we're
not
opposed
to
putting
something
there,
but
single-family
homes.
We
love
our
area.
We
love
the
fact
that
we
have
a
beautiful
backyard.
We
love
the
fact
that
we
can
get
to
know
our
neighbors
and
our
neighbors
feel
like
they're,
safe
in
their
area.
AI
I
think,
if
you
put
more
people
in
there,
you're
going
to
have
more
vehicle
problems,
you're
going
to
have
buses
coming
in
and
out
for
school
they're
going
to
be
crammed
in
that
little
apartment
area
that
they're
talking
about
schools
are
already
overwhelmed.
I
just
think
it's
the
point
where
we
need
to
stop
slow
down
and
think
about
what
we're
doing
before
we
do
it.
AI
I
think
that
which
sheets
with
all
of
it?
I
think
it's
just
too
much.
I
think
it's
just
too
much
overwhelming
and
I
think
we
need
to
oppose
this.
I
mean
we
think
we
need
to
stop
and
back
up
and
figure
out
what
we
really
need
to
do
in
that
area,
and
I
think
we
need
to
talk
to
more
neighbors
and
more
people
around
there
to
find
out
what
we
should
be
doing
and
not
just
do
it.
So
that's
what
I
want
to
say.
AI
A
J
All
of
the
things
that
we've
heard
about
that
are
concerns
are
things
that
smart-minded
people
can
work
through
and
solve.
These
are
not
hurdles
that
cannot
be
overcome.
These
are
hurdles
that
other
places
have
dealt
with.
These
can
be
addressed
and
all
of
these
things
have
been
raised,
the
schools,
the
traffic.
They
are
not
going
to
happen
overnight.
They
will
probably
be
2017,
2027
or
2028
before
this
project
is
fully
built
out.
This
is
going
to
be
a
gradual
envelopment
into
the
system.
It's
not
going
to
be
something
that
happens
overnight.
J
J
When
you
get
in
the
back
in
pocket
when
you're
the
quarterback
you
throw
to
the
receiver
who's
running
the
route,
you
don't
get
happy
feet
and
dance
around.
I'm
sorry,
I
couldn't
miss
my
one
sports
analogy
of
the
night
and
here's.
What
I
would
say
about
that
we
need
to
stick
to
the
plan.
Bedford
county
is
a
great,
comprehensive
plan.
Several
of
you
were
involved
in
putting
the
comprehensive
plan
together.
This
has
been
thought
about
for
years.
J
I
would
submit
to
you
that
we're
not
here
asking
just
for
your
vote
tonight
we're
here
asking
for
your
confidence
and
your
trust.
You
heard
the
speakers
over
half
of
the
speakers
talk
about
where
people
came
from
or
why
they
were
here
over
half
the
speakers
were
in
favor
of
this
okay
over
half.
So
here's
the
point
there's
a
lot
of
good
reasons
to
do
this
and
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
that
have
been
raised
about
why
we
should
think
it
through
that
were
thought
about
long
ago.
J
The
comprehensive
sp
plan
speaks
to
this
type
of
housing
in
this
location,
where
the
utilities
are
present,
where
the
business
park
is
nearby,
where
this
area
can
grow
and
smart
folks,
like
you
and
the
school
system
and
vdot
can
figure
out
things
that
they've
been
figuring
out
for
years
to
keep
this
county
great.
Thank
you
all
right.
A
L
Mr
chair,
I
would
some
folks
have
talked
about
fire
and
I
received
this
memo
today
from
forest
fire
chief
monty
coleman
signed
by
him.
He
says
that
the
response
time,
the
somerset
area
is
six
to
seven
minutes
upon
leaving
the
station
and
we
heard
about
the
walls
we'll
keep
fire
for
a
couple
hours.
Am
I
too
close?
I'm
not.
L
L
Typically,
all
three
will
respond
to
a
house
fire
and
then
finally,
he
said
in
the
average
years
we
have
18
house
fires
a
year
so
like
one
and
a
half
a
month,
so
these
are
just
some
things
that
he
pointed
out
to
me
when
I
asked
about
this
and
that
other
people
had
talked
about
fire
and
I
didn't
think
those
points
came
out.
So
I
thought
I
would
just
bring
those
up.
I
V
I
I
AG
AG
S
S
I've
heard
so
many
people
here
talking
about
how
we've
got
to
bring
people
in
here,
so
we
can
get
business.
I
have
a
son-in-law
that
works
at
eldora
over
in
bottatot
county
and
there's
there's
several
manufacturing
facilities.
When
you
go
to
bottom
there's
one
on,
I
drive,
we
work
over
there
a
lot
and
the
reason
they're
there
is
because
interstate
81
makes
it
extremely
easy
for
folks
to
get
products
in
and
products
out
of
these
manufacturing
facilities.
S
They
don't
have
any
more
residents
over
there
than
we
do
and
anyway.
Well,
I
shouldn't
say
that
with
and
sound
so
sure
of
myself-
I
I
don't
know
the
population
of
bottom
county,
but
I
do
know
that
it
requires
an
interstate
transportation
system
to
to
draw
a
business.
Amazon
would
never
come
to
bedford
county.
You
know
they're
on
interstate
85
in
atlanta,
where
I
go
down
there
to
brazilton
georgia
and
sometimes
indulge
myself
in
road
raising,
because
they've
got
an
interstate
right
there
on
that
road
frontage.
S
That's
that's
what
draws
them
the
more
people
we
bring
into
bedford
and
I
realize
growth
is
going
to
come.
I
think
organic
is
is
a
word
that
I
think
of
it's
going
to
come
organically,
but
the
more
people
we
bring
into
this
area
and
concentrate
the
less
movement
of
traffic.
We're
going
to
have,
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
mr
daniel
pointed
out
to
me
that
we
needed
to
have
the
s
turn
straightened
out
on
460
was
because
the
state
viewed
it
as
460
as
our
interstate.
S
So
tell
me
how
417
homes
in
new
london
is
going
to
make
it
better
for
business.
I
don't
see
that
and
I
worked
for
al
stroubons
when
northcote
was
actually
a
farm,
and
I
remember
when
he
sold
that
piece
of
property.
That's
now
the
new
london
commerce
center
to
the
county
and
very
little
has
happened
through
the
years
and
it's
bedford
at
one
point
had
rubitex
and
we
had
bunker
hill
packing
plant
and
they
didn't
go
away
because
of
an
aging
population.
S
There
was
another
reason:
they
went
away.
The
unions
put
your
rubitech
out
of
business
and
when
bunker
hill
meat
processing
plant
unionized
the
man
who
owned
it
closed
at
the
following
monday,
he
told
him
he
was
going
to
do
that.
Bedford
is
a
retirement
community.
Bedford
is
a
community
that
draws
tourists.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
when
we
on
the
board
sat
down
in
january
and
had
our
discussion
in
our
planning,
we
decided
number
one
in
bedford
county
is
agriculture.
S
Number
two
is
tourism,
and
people
are
drawn
to
bedford,
county
for
our
natural
beauty
and
our
many
activities,
and
you
know
you
can't
make
yourself
something:
you're,
not
I'm.
As
a
business
owner
myself,
who's
been
running
a
business
for
the
past
40
years.
I
do
understand
marketing
and
I
do
understand
a
little
about
human
behavior.
I
think
I
think
I'm
competent
to
speak
on
that
in
in
trying
to
to
are
you
going
to
tell
me
that
we're
going
to
build
these
town
homes
and
we're
going
to
bring
in
people
who
are
of
working
age?
S
How
are
you
going
to
do
that?
There's
no
way
on
this
planet
that
you
can
do
that
and
because
anybody
who's
seeking
a
job
at
maybe
twenty
dollars
an
hour
cannot
afford
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
townhouse
and
by
the
way,
if
you
listen
to
business
radio,
which
I
do
occasionally
they're
telling
us
we're
headed
toward
a
major
recession,
I
don't
even
I
own
a
business
that
relies
heavily
on
fuel
and
vehicles.
S
I
can't
buy
new
vehicles,
fuel
costs
keep
going
up
and
up
and
up
and
what's
going
to
happen
when
we
don't
have
fuel,
because
we
burn
up
our
nation's
oil
reserves
and
I'm
sorry
for
lecturing
on
this.
But
but
again
you
think
about
this.
If
we
hit
a
major
recession
and-
and
we
were
able
to
approve
this
project-
is,
is
the
outcome
of
it
happening
likely?
S
B
S
I
grew
up
on
ten
thousand
acre
ranches.
I
moved
to
bedford
county
in
1969
when
land
was
300
an
acre
and
yeah,
and-
and
I
remember
when
all
the
dairies
were
around
the
moms
and
the
pops,
but
but
the
escalation
of
costs
have
driven
farmers
from
the
farms,
but
I
still
farm.
I
we
run
about
100,
head
of
beef,
cattle
and-
and
I
still
do
business
with
the
bedford
co-op,
where
sam
retired.
S
Why
is
it
that
now
we
of
the
board
are
going
to
sit
up
here
and
possibly
tell
you?
Well
guess
what
we
don't
care
about
you.
We
can't
see
you
from
our
house.
I
for
one
do
care
my
wife
and
I
love
bedford
county.
The
way
it
is-
and
we
have
children
too
and
bedford
county
has
become
very
costly
to
live
in
from
a
tax
standpoint.
S
There's
no
place
cheaper,
but
guess
what
the
real
estate
values
keep
going
up
and
up
and
up
and
and
the
one
way
we
can
muck
it
all
up,
is
by
giving
us
so
much
traffic,
just
like
they
have
in
florida.
So
to
put
two
417
homes
on
this
one.
Road
and
vdot
has
no
plans
to
expand.
8011
and
you've
got
the
weekend
traffic
going
to
and
from
the
lake
the
folks
going
to
the
church,
and
god
bless
them.
S
For
that,
and
one
final
thing
I'd
like
to
say,
I
thought
it
was
really
nice
of
mr
lester
to
invite
me
to
a
personal
one-on-one
meeting
where
he
could
show
this
whole
proposition
to
me
and
try
to
persuade
me
to
buy
it.
But
only
as
I
was
sitting
here
and
I
listened
to
all
the
realtors
present
tonight
I
mean
I
know
you
guys
make
your
living
by
selling
properties.
S
Duh
help
me
understand
that
one
I
just
couldn't
help
but
think
if
some
of
you
realtors
aren't
here
tonight
at
the
request
of
these
guys,
because
none
of
you
were
at
the
planning
commission
and
I'm
not
chastising
or
scolding,
I'm
making
opposition
an
observation.
None
of
you
were
at
the
planning
commission
meeting,
but
suddenly
they
managed
to
get
you
all
out
for
this.
L
I
just
like
to
a
couple
has
been
pointed
out
a
couple
times
that
people
here
are
all
realtors
and
I
took
notes
everybody
who
was
talking,
and
I
have
eight
four
eight
against
the
notes
that
I
took
and
I
have
five
that
spoke
four
that
aren't
realtors
one
spoke
because
they
want
her
sons
to
move
out
of
their
house.
Another.
L
L
That's,
okay!
I'm
sorry!
So
let
me
go
down
to
four
down
to
four,
but
one
was
a
new
london
resident.
I
don't
think
he's
a
realtor,
so
he
lives
right
across
the
street
and
he
was
for
it.
Another
moved
here
to
be
near
his
grandkids.
I
don't
think
he's
a
realtor
and
he
wants
to
make
sure
his
grandkids
have
places
to
stay
so
anyways.
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
point
that
everyone
here
who's
for
it
is
not.
Obviously
I
took
those.
AJ
That's
already
there
and
then,
when
somebody
else
wants
to
move
into
the
area,
we
don't
want
them
in
the
area
at
my
house
where
I
live
at
right
now,
all
woods,
forests,
everything
out
there
and
the
owner
developed
it
into
10,
acre
lots,
which
means
I'm
looking
at
trees
now.
But
when
he
sells
these
lots
he's
going
to
cut
down
to
where
I
don't
see
these
trees
and
we'll
see
the
back
of
houses
and
stuff.
AJ
Of
course,
I
don't
want
to
see
that,
but
it's
his
property,
it's
his
right,
it's
his
way
of
making
money
it's
his
way
of
for
income,
but
in
order
every
every
year
we
go
through
the
budget
process.
Here
we
have
to
slash
slash
slash
because
we
don't
have
enough
money
to
pay
for
everything
everybody
wants.
You
know
it's
like.
AJ
The
schools
want
more
money,
the
fire
and
rescue.
They
want
more
money.
We
have
to
slash
because
of
our
low
tax
rate
and
we
tell
them
every
year.
We
want
level
funding
because
we
don't
want
to
raise
the
taxes,
but
sooner
or
later,
if
these
businesses
and
developments
cease
to
come
into
the
county,
because
we
turn
them
down
and
turn
them
away.
AJ
There's
only
one
other
alternative
and
that's
go
up
on
a
tax
rate
go
up
on
a
tax
rate.
Then
a
lot
of
people
are
going
to
say
well
before
county
is
not
that
attractive
anymore,
and
another
thing
is
that,
in
order
to
for
these
developments
to
take
place,
we
put
in
12
million
dollars.
I
think
it's
close
to
12
million
dollars
of
stool
and
water
out
there
for
this
purpose
to
attract
people
in
there.
The
infrastructure
and
that's
the
reason
we
did
it.
AJ
S
Yes
sure
I'd
just
like
to
return
back
to
the
point
that
they
bought
the
property
as
r1,
keep
it
as
r1.
We
know
we're
going
to
have
growth
in
here
and
I
think
the
folks
in
somerset
meadows
would
welcome
r1
and
not
just
somerset
meadows,
but
a
lot
of
folks
in
that
surrounding
area
would
as
well.
I
know
the
trap
again:
the
traffic
counts
will
be
far
less.
We
know,
there's
200
homes
planned
already
there
r1
keep.
My
vote
is
to
keep
it
r1.
A
Anyone
else
wishing
to
comment
before
I
open
it
up
for
possible
action.
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
comment.
Zoning
is
not
set
in
stone
that
everyone
needs
to
understand
that
I
I
the
the
one
of
the
major
things
that
the
board
of
supervisors
does
in
general
is
air
rezoning
requests
and
special
use
permits.
That's
one
of
the
primary
responsibilities.
We
have
setting
the
tax
rate
and
hearing
sups
and
rezonings
if
it
was.
A
Zoning
isn't
isn't
set
in
stone.
Everyone
needs
to
understand
it.
So
when
it
when
I
hear
the
argument
that
well
when
I
bought
here,
this
is
what
the
zoning
was.
I
that
that
argument,
I
understand
it,
but
but
it's
also
one
that
you,
you
can't
require
your
neighbor
to
do
something.
When
I,
when
farmington
was
developed,
I
can
tell
you
I
wasn't
thrilled
about
it.
A
Mr
lester,
I
was
not
happy
with
this
man
because
I
enjoyed
driving
down
parallel
road
and
seeing
all
the
horses
that
were
there,
but
did
I
have
the
right
to
require
him
to
continue
to
have
those
horses
on
that
land
I
did
not,
and
and
and
so
the
the
best
way
and
I'm
a
free
market
capitalist
and
I'm
not
going
to
apologize
for
that.
There's
not
enough
of
us
left
in
this
country.
A
So
there
needs
to
be
a
few
more,
but
I
will
say
that
the
best
way
to
control
the
use
of
the
property
is
to
own
the
property.
If
your
name
is
on
the
deed,
then
you
have
the
controlling
interest
in
the
property.
I
do
not
have
the
controlling
interest
in
my
neighbor's
property
and
and
I've
always
felt
that
to
be
the
case.
A
So
there
are,
there
are
exceptions
when
we
have
people
who
are
trying
to
skirt
the
issues
or-
or
you
know,
manipulate
the
system
to
their
benefit,
then
I'm
ready
to
slap
them
down,
because
I
can't
stand
someone
who's
trying
to
cheat
the
system.
But
if
someone
who's
coming
to
us
with
a
plan
that
meets
our
comprehensive
plan,
we've
we've
said
we
were
one
of
the
primary
things
that
we've
heard
from
the
public
is
we
want
to
preserve
the
agricultural
lands?
A
And
so
many
years
ago
we
determined
that
in
order
to
to
prevent
sprawl,
which
was
eating
up
the
agricultural
lands
in
bedford
county
at
a
very
fast
clip
a
number
of
years
ago
we
designated
the
forest
area
for
development,
and
so
the
infrastructure
was
put
there
in
order
to
develop
forest
and
preserve
the
agricultural
lands
in
the
rest
of
the
county.
Now
my
wife
would
be
one
of
those
that
would
love
to
have
10
acres
off
the
corner
of
a
farm.
A
She
wants
goats,
I
don't
want
those,
but
she
wants
chickens,
that's
what
we
would
like
to
have,
but
I
can't
afford
to
do
that.
But
in
the
end
I
can't
tell
my
neighbor
what
they
can
and
can't
do
with
their
property.
I
just
can't-
and
so
I
I,
if
you
want
to
control
the
property,
buy
the
property,
that's
the
best
way.
If
it's
it
might
be
next
to
your
home,
but
that
doesn't
mean
you
get
to
control
it.
So
I've
always
felt
that
way.
I've
been
consistent
over
the
years.
It's
not.
A
A
You
either
add
to
the
tax
base,
or
you
add,
to
the
tax
rate
and
I
suspect,
there's
many
people
that
enjoy
the
low
tax
rate
in
bedford
county
would
like
to
keep
it
that
way,
but
we
also
want
to
have
we.
We
don't
want
somebody
in
our
backyard,
it's
okay,
if
it's
somewhere
else,
but
it's
it's
been
happening
in
forest
in
other
parts
of
forest
already.
A
Maybe
it
hasn't
happened
as
much
in
the
new
london
area,
but
you
know
it's
inevitable
at
some
point
there
is
r2
right
across
460
on
the
other
side
of
460..
We
you
have
the
patio
homes
there
at
at
the
golf
course.
This
isn't
far
different
than
that.
So
anyway,
that's
that's
my
piece.
I'm
going
to
open
it
up
to
the
the
board
for
possible
action.
Mr.
M
All
right,
it's
been,
it's
been
a
little
difficult
to
to
hear
some
speakers
and
I
certainly
have
heard
some
and
some
that
I
could
not
hardly
hear
at
all,
but
I
think
I've
certainly
heard
of
the
majority
and
gotten
you
know
a
good
feel
for
for
the
for
what
all
has
been
said
tonight,
I'm
trying
not
to
get.
I
feel
like
I'm
getting
feedback
from
myself
right
here.
Can
y'all
hear
me:
okay,
yeah.
M
I
say
that
because
I'm
not
opposed
to
alternative
forms
of
home
units,
whether
indifferent
from
single
family
dwellings,
the
patio
homes,
the
villa
type
homes,
the
the
town
homes.
I
I
the
variety
is
not
my
issue
at
all:
it's
the
density,
it's
27.5
acres
and
217
units,
and
that
is
primarily
rooftops.
M
M
M
So
that's
where
I
am
with
that.
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
project.
I
think
the
project
could
be
done
and
I'm
sure
it
would
be
done
very
well
and-
and
I
and
I
know
the
some
of
the
people
that
are
involved
in
this
and
I'm
sure
that
they
would
do
an
excellent
job.
It's
just
too
much
piled
into
27
and
a
half
acres.
A
A
A
L
L
A
M
A
M
A
AE
A
AK
AK
So
with
that
first,
what
is
smart
scale?
Well,
it's
a
funding
program
for
transportation
projects
that
is
administered
by
members
of
vdot
and
the
department
of
rail
and
public
transportation.
The
smart
scale
program
is
currently
in
its
fifth
application
cycle
eligible
transportation
projects
include
those
which
enhance
capacity
or
provide
operational
improvements.
AK
Simple
maintenance
projects
are
not
eligible
under
this
program.
In
addition,
projects
must
meet
at
least
one
need
identified
in
the
state's
transportation
plan.
Those
needs
can
include
safety,
congestion,
mitigation,
accessibility,
economic
development,
just
to
name
a
few,
so
these
project
applications
are
scored
based
on
the
number
and
magnitude
of
needs,
yeah.
AK
Yeah
I'll
stand
back
a
little
bit,
so
projects
are
scored
based
on
the
number
and
magnitude
of
needs
met.
Those
scores
are
then
weighted
against
the
project
costs.
Those
weighted
scores
are
taken
by
the
commonwealth
transportation
board
and
ranked
across
the
entire
state.
The
top-ranked
projects
are
then
selected
to
receive
funding,
so
this
program
is
entirely
funded
by
federal
and
state
dollars.
No
local
match
is
required
for
these
projects.
AK
To
confirm
their
eligibility
under
this
program
and
those
five
projects
are
listed
here,
the
first
four
projects
are
some
version
of
resubmissions
from
the
previous
smart
scale
round.
Those
are
the
timber
ridge,
road
intersection
realignment
at
460.,
two
sidewalk
projects
on
forest
road,
a
roundabout
at
122
and
24,
I'm
trying
and
then
the
last
project
listed
here
is
a
new
project
that
is
the
route
460
corridor
improvements
at
the
bedford
campbell,
so
first
starting
with
timber
ridge
road.
This
drawing
may
be
familiar
to
some
of
you.
AK
C
AK
AK
These
two,
these
two
sidewalk
segments,
were
previously
submitted
as
a
single
application
in
the
last
round
of
smart
scale.
However,
we
received
feedback
over
concerns
with
project
cost
and,
as
such,
we
wanted
to
provide
different
options
for
potentially
lower
cost
projects
that
the
board
elected
to
only
move
forward
with
one
of
these
applications.
AK
In
addition,
our
hope
is
to
potentially
improve
upon
project
scoring
by
submitting
these
as
separate
applications.
So
I
will
note
the
gables
drive
is
the
midpoint
of
these
sidewalk
segments
in
question.
However,
we
anticipate
the
western
portion
shown
in
red
to
come
in
at
a
lower
project
cost
than
the
eastern
sidewalk
displayed
in
blue,
and
that
is
largely
due
to
some
difficult
signalized
crosswalks
and
paving
work
associated
with
that
eastern
portion.
AK
Next
up,
we
have
a
proposed
roundabout
at
route
24
and
122..
This
project
largely
came
about
because
the
intersection
angles
and
grades
at
this
stoplight
prevent
fully
configured
turn
lanes.
So
this
this
roundabout
is
a
proposed
solution
there.
In
addition,
the
roundabout
would
improve
upon
safety
at
this
intersection.
AK
So
next
is
our
new
project.
The
route
460
corridor
improvements,
it's
a
new
project,
but
it's
one.
We've
been
working
towards
for
a
little
while
here,
and
this
project
really
originated
from
different
industry
reps
along
460,
coming
forward
to
the
county
with
concerns
those
industries
included
century
l3,
harris
and
custom
truck,
and
what
we
heard
from
them
were
some
common
concerns
shared
across
all
three.
AK
AK
AK
So
currently,
harris
vehicles
and
trucks
leaving
the
site
that
desire
to
head
eastbound
on
460
are
required
to
cross
two
lanes
of
traffic
in
the
immediate
vicinity
and
make
a
u-turn
at
the
existing
crossover
that
we're
proposing
to
shift
if
they're
unable
to
do
that,
they
would
be
required
to
travel
all
the
way
down
to
the
crossover
at
the
new
london
academy
so
to
help
alleviate
these
issues.
We're
proposing
a
new
u-turn,
loon
just
west
of
custom
truck.
AK
AK
So,
looking
ahead
here
we
have
a
work
session
scheduled
for
the
next
board
meeting
on
june
27th.
Following
that
work
session,
we
would
put
forward
a
resolution
of
support
for
whichever
applications
the
board
desires
to
move
forward
with
those
applications
are
due
august,
1st
from
there
they'll
be
scored
and
those
scores
will
be
released
to
us
in
january
of
next
year.
AK
At
that
point,
we
should
have
a
a
pretty
decent
idea
if
those
projects
are
likely
to
receive
funding
or
not,
but
we
will
officially
find
out
in
june
when
the
commonwealth
transportation
board
june
of
next
year,
when
the
commonwealth
transportation
board
adopts
their
six-year
improvement
plan.
Successful
projects
are
slated
into
the
tail
end
of
that
six
year
improvement
plan,
so
that
would
make
the
design
kickoff
fall
in
2026
with
construction.
AK
I
AK
Sorry
to
cut
you
off
there,
so
the
the
811
r
cut
project
that
was
submitted
last
round,
we
elected
to
not
resubmit
that
this
round,
it's
still
a
concept
that
is
on
the
table.
That
intersection
is
still
a
priority
for
us,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
we
we
get
the
right
solution
there
and
the
right
solution
for
everyone
that
also
fits
within
the
confines
of
smart
scale.
So
it's
it's
still
something
that
is
on
the
table,
but
is
not
being
considered.
AK
AK
AJ
P
AK
AK
AK
You
know,
that's
that's
a
great
question,
I
think
in
a
lot
of
ways,
these
applications
are
a
bit
of
a
balancing
act.
You
know
everything,
that's
included
in
this
improves
safety,
and-
and
that
is
an
intention
from
from
these
design
concepts
you
know
to
to
gain
the
the
different
benefits
that
these
different
businesses
would
realize.
AK
L
L
AK
AK
P
P
AK
L
AK
AK
L
AK
AK
L
I
AK
AK
AK
L
AK
This
idea,
so
the
businesses
that
we
did
meet
with
they
they're
all
very
much
supportive
of
this
project.
I
will
say,
as
part
of
these
efforts
and
our
due
diligence,
we
did
send
out
letters
to
all
of
the
property
owners
impacted
within
these
project
footprints.
There
may
be
folks
here
who
will
discuss
it
today,
but
we
did
not
receive
any
direct
comments
related
to
this
project
from
anyone
else
from
those
letters.
AG
C
AL
S
O
AK
Well,
that
would
certainly
be
up
to
the
board's
discretion
if
we
want
to
move
forward
that
project
or
not,
the
the
roundabout
does
improve
upon
safety
at
that
intersection.
However,
I
just
speaking
candidly,
I
know
that
project
fell
short
of
selection
in
the
last
smart
scale
round.
You
know
that
that
scoring
evaluation
is
effectively
what
the
commonwealth
transportation
board
is
doing.
They're
evaluating
the
need.
AK
AK
O
AJ
L
O
A
N
A
P
Who
you
were
call
I'm
used
to
it,
so
I'm
vp
of
facilities
for
central
health
and
I
signed
up
in
case
there-
were
any
questions
or
concerns
about
the
impact
of
one
of
these
projects
on
a
property
central
owns
at
17
327
force
road.
We
don't
have
any
questions
or
concerns,
so
I
can
make
this
short.
Thank
you.
AL
Got
it
no
problem?
I've
owned
the
property
charter
properties
owns
the
l3
harris
property.
There's
our
client,
we
bought
it
in
2000.
We
we
commissioned
a
study
of
that
intersection
in
2000
by
william
wilson
interesting.
They
arrived
at
the
same
decision.
The
same
proposal
as
as
the
county
and
the
highway
department
has
here.
So
that
does
confirm
that
that
is
a
probably
about
the
only
solution
to
it.
We
looked
at
we've
had
several
meetings
as
eric
indicated.
AL
Both
ways
and
bethel
church
is
coming
across
sometimes
and
going
westbound,
so
they're
sitting
there
and
the
result
is
that
anybody
come
in.
We
got
about
50
to
25,
to
50
trucks
a
day
going
into
harris
and
I'm
speaking
on
their
behalf
by
the
way
today.
So
the
the
idea
is,
is
that
they've
been
complaining
for
20
years
about
this
problem,
and
I
think
it's
time
we.
What
I
like
about
the
proposal
is
it's
kind
of
comprehensive
in
on
all
these
intersections
in
this
two
mile
corridor.
AL
So
what
it's
going
to
be
several
years,
even
if
it
gets
approved-
and
everything
goes
great.
What
I
suggest
is
that
we
took
it.
We
look
at
some
short-term
solutions,
maybe
even
a
rumble
strip
coming
eastbound,
because
you've
just
approved
a
project.
We're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
people
coming
at
the
morning.
Work
hours
coming
westbound
most
of
them
will
be
going
rather
eastbound
going
into
the
city.
So
if
you
stop
in
that
road,
you
really
it's
a
white
knuckle
experience.
AL
Anybody
that's
been
there
and
you
have
to
look
at
what's
behind
you
before
you
decide
to
stop
or
go
all
the
way
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
hill.
So
my
thought
is
that
we
think
this
is
a
good
project.
We
hopefully
gets
funded
and
we
support
the
design
concept.
It's
a
compromise
for
every
one
of
us
in
how
we're
it
and
exited
property.
So
we'd
like
to
see
some
signage
both
to
alert
the
motors.
The
motorists
don't
realize
that
there's
no
left
turn
they're
just
booking
on
down
the
road
at
60
or
70.
AL
Somebody
stops
and
turns
so
I
think
we
could
do
either
rumble
strip
signage
and
especially
at
night,
it's
impossible
to
tell
what
lane
they're
in
and
what
speed
they're
going
and
all
we
know
they're
going
fast.
So
anything
that
can
happen
as
an
interim
or
temporary
measure,
I
think,
could
have
great
beneficial
effects
just
to
let
the
motorists
know
we
have.
I
mean
this
is
basically
a
de
facto
interstate
and
vdot's
moving
wants
to
move
traffic
at
a
higher
rate,
and
so
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
with
the
speed
limit.
AL
A
C
That's
right,
we'll
we'll
have
a
work
session
at
the
next
board
meeting
and
then
a
lot
of
questions
that
were
asked
has
good
information.
Staff
can
come
back
answer
some
of
those
questions
we'll
get
some
good
information
from
the
board
of
that
work
session
as
to
what
applications
you
really
want
to
submit.
We'll
have
an
agenda
item
to
vote
on
in
july.
All.
A

Aggressive
panhandling,
just
in
the
past
six
months,
they've
had
a
minimum
of
12
calls
of
complaints.
Two
of
those
were
on
june
8..
So
in
coordination
with
the
sheriff's
department,
we
started
researching
various
ordinances
from
other
localities
to
deal
with,
what's
called
aggressive,
panhandling
there's
a
constitutional
right
to
sit
on
the
side
of
the
road
with
a
sign,
but
if
you
start
approaching
people
cornering
people
acting
an
aggressive
manner,
we
don't
have
anything
on
the
books
right
now.

Good
evening,
everybody
before
you
as
a
resolution
to
adopt
the
fiscal
year
23
budget
for
the
county,
a
lot
of
the
information
that
we
went
over
during
the
work
session
is
included
in
this
agenda
memo.
But
in
addition
to
the
items
that
we've
already
discussed,
I
wanted
to
remind
you
that
included
in
the
proposed
budget
are
health
insurance,
increases
of
nine
and
a
half
percent
nine
and
a
half
percent
which
will
be
split
proportionately
between
county
and
employees.

As
we
discussed
during
the
work
session,
there
is
funding
for
phase
one
of

implementation,
effective
august
1st

Was

No?
I'm

my

I'm

votes.
Yes,
all
right
motion
carried
next,
we
have
a
consideration
of
a
resolution
initiating
a
zoning
ordinance
text,
amendment
regarding
site
development
regulations
of
r1
zoning
district
resolution,

So
I
think
this
is
probably
just
an
adjustment
to
get
the
district
back
in
line
with
what
your
description
of
the
of
the
zoning
district
is.
Ten
thousand
square
foot
lot's
very
small.
If
you
want
to
kind
of
see
a
a
single
family
neighborhood,
you
know
there's
forest
edge
over
off
of
in
charlotte's
district.

It's
not
often
that
you
have
both
in
r1.
It's
actually
not
as
often
as
you
think,
an
r2
like
like
in
your
district.
You
have
r2
a
lot
of
r2
between
460
and
221.
You
got
a
lot
of
r2
in
that
particular
area.
You
have
sewer
availability
there,
so
you
will
see
that
denser
type
of
development
there
and
you
probably
should
when
you
have
both
in
a
more
occasional
rate
than
you
would
now
yeah.
This
is
like
I
said,
think
about.
Farmington
too,
is
farmington's
a
prd
district.

Guess
you
could
call
it
that
no,
this
is
all
about
keeping
with
the
comprehensive
playing
keeping
with
our
zoning
ordinance.
R1
is
low
density,
residential
and,
as
you
know,
mr
sharp.
You
live
in
an
r2
area
where
your
lot
size
is
like
.46
acres,
which
is
just
shy
of
a
half
an
acre.
Imagine
cutting
your
lot
in
half
and
only
having
half
that
space.

Got
a
comment,
I
I
find
it
so
ironic
that
we
want
to
reduce
lot
sizes
down
to
a
quarter
acre
or
keep
them
there
and
have
town
homes,
and
then
we
want
to
have
young
families
come
in
here.
How
can
a
family
with
children
have
do
anything
in
a
town
home,
much
less
a
quarter
acre
lot
and
I'm
just
thoroughly
confused,
but
I'm
sure
I'll
figure
it
out.
When
I
get
smart.
A
All
right
board
appointments
looks
like
we
have
a
consideration
of
request
to
appoint
david
carl
wells
as
a
district,
one
representative
to
the
economic
development
authority
to
fill
an
unexpired
term
that
will
begin
immediately
and
end
on
january.

2024,
mr
johnson,
is
that
the
will
of
mr

all
right
so
is
that
in
the
form
of
a
motion.

I'll
keep
it
super
brief.
Amanda
kaufman
wednesday
is
her
last
day
as
deputy
county
administrator.
So
we've
been,
I've
enjoyed
working
with
her
and
her
service
to
the
county
got
a
lot
of
things
accomplished
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
years.
That
she's
been
here,
wish
her
well
and
all
of
her
future
endeavors,
and
we
are
currently
advertising
for
the
deputy
county
administrator
position
and
already
received
some
applications.
The
deadline,
I
believe,
is
a
july
5th,
so
we'll
be
proceeding
with
that
hiring
expeditiously.
