I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
of
the
Bedford
County
Board
of
Supervisors
to
order
welcome
everyone
here
this
evening.
If
you
have
a

phone,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
either
turning
it
off
or
setting
it
on
vibrate
that'd,
be
great
I,
don't
see
any
hats
that
need
to
be
removed.
So
we
appreciate
that
we
will
start
this
meeting
with
a
moment
of
silence.

The
first
thing
up
tonight
is

of
a
resolution

permit
application

on

Mr
Currington.
F
F
The
applicant
and
property
owner
is
PLS
LLC.
The
subject:
Parcels
are
RPC
number
905-10795,
which
is
5.39
acres
and
RPC
number
905-10796,
which
is
6.2
acres
and
are
located
on
Homestead
Drive,
approximately
0.1
miles
west
from
its
intersection
with
Enterprise
Drive
in
Forest
Virginia.
The
parcels
are
currently
zoned
as
C2.
The
proposed
use
is
an
industry
type,
1
use
and
they
are
located
in
election
District,
Number
Four.
F
F
F
F
This
is
the
first
page
of
the
concept
plan
submitted
by
the
applicant's
engineer.
If
the
special
use
skits
approved,
they
will
need
to
submit
a
major
site
plan
for
the
establishment
of
the
industry,
type
1
use
to
check
compliance
with
the
zoning
ordinance
as
well
as
requirements
for
the
reviewing
agency's
per
their
technical
Review
Committee
comments.
F
The
properties
will
be
served
by
public
water
and
sewer
VDOT
will
require
a
traffic
narrative
at
the
site
plan
stage
to
evaluate
the
impacts
of
each
phase
of
the
development,
along
with
an
analysis
of
the
truck
movements
between
the
three
commercial
interests
and
access
management.
Exception
will
also
be
required
for
phase
one,
and
the
land
disturbing
permit
will
be
needed
because
10
000
square
feet
or
greater
is
being
disturbed.
F
The
Planning
Commission
meeting
was
held
on
September
5th
2023.
Two
citizens
spoke
during
the
public
hearing,
citing
concerns
of
increased
traffic
on
Homestead
Drive
accidents
and
general
incompatibility
with
surrounding
area.
The
Planning
Commission
voted
7-0
to
recommend
approval
of
the
application
with
staff
conditions.
F
The
planning
staff
has
recommended
the
following
conditions.
One
General
conformance
with
the
concept
plan,
in
conformance
with
all
Ordnance
standards,
is
required
for
site
plan
approval.
Any
changes
to
the
layout
of
the
site
will
result
in
increased
impacts
to
enjoying
properties
and
uses
shall
require
approval
of
an
amended
special
use
permit
and
two
the
approval
of
special
use
permit
su-22-0006
shall
be
superseded
by
this
approval.
G
We
were
here
not
long
ago
with
a
similar
request
in
is
Parkland
direct
evaluated,
their
needs
and
their
future
growth.
We
realized
that
what
we
had
asked
for
originally
was
not
enough
square
footage
to
handle
even
there
immediately
each
much
less
their
future
needs
so
Mr
Seckman,
Leland
seckman's.
Here
this
evening,
Mr
Seckman
and
I
decided
to
take
a
longer
term
approach.
G
Looking
at
a
25-year
build
out,
you
know
what
what
he
would
look
at
as
a
maximum
growth
for
Parkland
direct
printing
at
this
at
this
location,
and
so
that's
what
we
have
here
today.
So
our
intent
is
to
provide
a
plan
that
allows
a
long-term
growth
for
Park
and
direct,
and
we
won't
have
to
come
back
to
you
again.
Hence
the
three
phases.
As
was
mentioned,
there
was
a
public
comment
regarding
the
entrances
on
the
Homestead
Drive.
We
are
evaluating
a
means
to
which
we
can
combine
those
entrances.
G
This
a
significant
topographic
relief
across
the
property
which
makes
combining
the
entrances
not
exactly
easy,
but
we're
looking
at
options
to
try
to
combine
those
so
there's
only
one
entrance
onto
Homestead,
Drive
and
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
entertain
any
questions
that
you
may
have
at
this
point
in
time.
Thank
you.
H
I
Yeah
yeah
I
mean
you
have
to
you,
have
to
show
initiative
to
have
wanted
to
move
forward
with
the
special
use
permit
within
five
years
or
excuse
me,
I'm.
Sorry,
two
years,
I
apologize
two
years
so
yeah
as
long
as
he
I.
Imagine,
Lauren's,
probably
going
to
come
forward
with
a
site
plan
to
us
as
long
as
he
gets
the
first
one
done
it
kind
of
keeps
it
going.
So
it
runs
with
the
line
from
there
on
in
as
long
as
they
use
it
within
the
first
two
years,
it'd
be
okay.
A
A
A
H
E
I
I
This
sup
is
for
three
Parcels
in
the
Montvale
area:
location
of
that
project,
Area
11,
400,
West,
Lynchburg,
Salem,
Turnpike
and
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
establish
an
equipment,
sales
and
rental
use
as
a
Kubota
dealership
in
election
District
number
six
and
here's
location
map
showing
the
properties
running
along
Westland,
Shore,
Salem
Turnpike.
It's
near
the
tanks
in
Montvale.
I
I
I
Planning
Commission
held
a
public
hearing
on
this
application
on
September
5th
2023.
We
did
not
have
a
citizen
speak
for
against
the
application
and
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
approval
of
the
application
would
staff
conditions
by
a
vote
of
six
to
zero.
We
did
that
one
Planning
Commission
member
of
stain
from
voting
recommended
condition
by
the
Planning
Commission,
the
general
conformance
of
the
concept
plan
and
conformance
to
all
ordinance
standards
is
a
requirement
for
site
plan
approval.
I
Any
changes
to
the
layout
of
the
site
that
will
result
in
increased
impact,
so
adjoining
properties
and
uses
shall
require
approval
and
amended
special
use.
Permit
process
that's
outlined
in
section
30-19
of
the
zoning
ordinance
have
any
questions.
I
can
answer
from
a
planning
perspective
and
I
did
kind
of
give
a
picture
here
in
our
Lynchburg
location.
If
you
want
to
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
what
to
expect.
J
I
This
came
up
during
the
Planning
Commission
I
mean
Mr.
Ray
asked
that
particular
question.
The
answer
that
question
is
is
at
that
time,
when
Family
Dollar
was
developed,
the
quarter
overlay
District
had
a
a
very
large
amount
of
landscaping
that
was
required
between
the
parking
lot
area
and
the
roadway
so
yeah.
The
applicant
can
remove
the
vast
majority
of
that
Landscaping.
There.
H
H
I
K
J
A
A
G
G
Besides
cleaning
up
the
trees
and
making
the
site
a
little
more
visible
than
it
is
right
now,
I
think
we
will
have
to
put
a
chain
link
fence
around
the
outside
sales
area
and
it'll
be
a
minor
site
plan
for
the
change
in
use,
and
that's
basically
it
so
we
should
be
ready
to
go
with
this
relatively
quickly.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
entertain.
G
G
A
A
J
E
A
I
This
is
obviously
something
you
should
be
familiar
with.
We
had
some
in-depth
discussions
about
this
particular
ordinance
kind
of
briefly
go
through
that.
So
obviously,
during
a
discussion
on
the
Amendments,
we
were
discussing
with
short-term
rental.
You
know
the
Board
of
Supervisors
requested
that
we
look
into
a
pump
out
program
for
all
dwellings
within
500
feet
of
Smith
Mountain
Lake
in
Leesville.
I
and
kind
of
go
through
the
ordinance
what
it
what
it
does
have
in
it.
So
all
properties
within
dwelling
all
properties,
with
dwelling
units
within
500
feet
of
Smith,
Mountain
Lake
and,
of
course,
the
elevation
that
that's
taken
from
is
the
full
Pine
elevations
are
required
to
have
a
pump
out
every
five
years.
The
pump
outs
must
come
from
a
sewage,
Handler
permitted
and
certified
by
the
Virginia
Department
of
Health.
The
county
will
notify
owners
of
the
first
pump
out.
It
will
be
a
group
every
year.
I
K
J
B
A
L
Anderson
good
evening,
everybody
so
again
before
you
is
a
resolution
for
the
15
depreciation
rate
to
be
applied
to
2023
personal
property
tax
assessed,
values
for
cars,
trucks,
motorcycles,
motor
homes
and
trailers.
This
recommendation
has
come
out
of
conversations
that
have
occurred
since
the
board
voted
to
apply
a
33
rebate
to
the
2022
values
last
year.
L
It
does
take
into
account
all
new
purchases
and
sales
that
have
occurred
in
these
categories
since
that
time,
and
ultimately,
the
rate
that
is
recommended
is
striving
to
achieve
retention
of
that
net
growth,
but
then
also
to
recognize
that
values
have
not
necessarily
come
back
down
to
quote
unquote
normal
levels
and
therefore
ease
a
little
bit
of
the
tax
burden
that
is
associated
with
those
supply
chain.
Shortage
and
inflationary
increases.
A
K
B
L
So,
as
you
mentioned,
this
particular
rate
is
the
personal
property
tax
relief
rate.
This
is
different
in
the
sense
that
the
depreciation
rate
we
just
discussed
is
applied
to
the
assessed
value
before
taxes
are
calculated
at
this
rate
is
going
to
be
applied
in
part
as
part
of
that
calculation
of
the
actual
tax.
L
This
is
something
that
we
do
every
year,
a
rate
that
we
adopt
every
year
the
county
receives
6.1
million
roughly
from
the
state
for
this
relief,
and
so
we
set
a
rate
that
as
closely
approximates
the
amount
that
we
receive
from
the
state
as
we
can
so
based
off
of
the
values.
With
that
15
depreciation
rate
in
place,
we
are
recommending
a
33
personal
property
tax
relief
rate
for
the
2023
taxes.
E
H
C
M
Is
the
first
time
that
they've
ever
offered
this
grant?
Excuse
me
sorry,
first
time,
they've
ever
offered
this
grant
to
911
centers.
It
was
a
initiative
from
the
psap
committee,
which
is
a
subcommittee
to
the
911
services
board
that
brought
this
before
the
Nomine
Services
board
for
approval
and
their
biggest
thing
is
to
try
to
retain
people
in
the
91
centers
due
to
Staffing
shortages,
Across
the
Nation,
and
also
to
try
to
bring
new
people
into
the
now
one
centers.
With
this
grant.
M
This
would
give
every
eligible
full-time
employee,
currently
working
for
us
at
twenty
five
hundred
dollar
one-time
payment
for
a
retention
bonus
and
each
part-time
employee,
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollar
one-time
payment.
You
were
also
able
to
apply
for
your
vacant
position,
so
any
kind
of
vacant
positions
we
have.
We
would
use
that
funding
as
basically
a
recruitment
and
retention
bonus
with
this.
M
This
be
a
total
of
26
full-time
eligible
employees
in
our
department,
three
part-time
eligible
employees,
so
the
total
costs
or
the
total
Grant
funds
would
be
sixty
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
The
grant
does
not
cover
the
employer
tax
side
of
it,
which
is
a
7.65
percent,
so
that
would
be
roughly
five
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
nine
dollars
that
the
county
would
have
to
pay
in
the
taxes
in
order
to
give
the
employees
the
bonus.
M
So
in
front
of
you,
there
was
a
pretty
short
timeline
for
this.
They
kind
of
advertised
it
with
this
being
a
very
new
Grant.
There
was
a
lot
of
information
sessions
that
really
led
up
to
about
the
week
before
the
grant
was
due,
so
we
did
apply
for
the
grant,
so
we
would,
if
it's
not
approved
tonight,
we
will
remove
our
submission
from
the
grant,
but
we
asked
are
asking
for
approval
to
continue
with
the
process
of
it,
as
well
as
accepting
the
funds.
A
M
A
M
B
K
A
Mr
Davis:
this
is
roll
call
Mr
Johnson,
yes,
Miss
bansley,
yes,
Mr
Sharp,
yes,
Mr
Davis,
yes,
Mr
Scott,
yes,
Miss
Parker,
yes
to
your
vote.
Yes
motion
passes
all
right.
That
brings
us
down
to
board
committee
reports,
which
we
have
none
on
the
board
comments.
Is
there
any
any
board?
Member
wishing
to
share
anything
this
evening.
K
I'd
just
like
to
say
that
it's
just
been
a
lot
of
talk
on
social
media,
about
the
all
fields
at
Edmond
street,
over
at
the
old
Susie
Gibson,
about
how
they're
not
being
mowed
and
some
sometimes
either
either
one
entity,
whether
it's
the
town
or
the
county
or
is
Mowing
and
leaving
part
of
it.
Undone
because
their
kids
aren't
playing
there.
But
the
other.
D
Yeah
I
mean
Mr,
Johnson,
I,
know
the
the
school
board
and
the
Town
Council
have
been
debating
this
like
a
transfer
of
property
and
the
lease
and
so
forth,
they've
been
debating
that
for
months
and
months,
but
we'll
double
check
to
see
if
we
have
any
maintenance
role
in
any
of
that,
I,
don't
not
exactly
sure.
If
we
do
I,
don't
think
we
do,
but
we'll
double
check.
If
we
have
any
of
responsibility
or
not
I.
K
H
B
H
H
B
K
K
B
H
Know
their
request,
for
you
know,
keeping
it
away
from
the
property
line.
That
type
of
thing,
however,
it
is,
it
is
a
you
know,
in
a
residential
area
like
that,
it's
it
could
be
a
nuisance
and,
quite
frankly,
I
would
think
it
could
potentially
be
a
fire
hazard
and
Justin
wait
in
because
of
his
experience
in
at
another
locality
in
which
they
had.
H
H
A
A
B
N
Don't
know
if
you
want
to
elaborate
I
mean
there's
a
couple
different
Avenues,
you
could
do
it
by
zoning
or
you
can
do
proximity.
You
know
within
500
feet
thousand
feet
above
occupied
structure
a
lot
of
different
variables
you
can
look
at,
but
it
is
something
that
a
lot
of
localities
are
facing
that
are
getting
heavily
developed.
He
got
established
neighborhoods
and
clearing
for
the
next
development
over
and
the
ash.
Generally.
N
Just
you
know
follows
the
win
and
if
it's
burning
hot
and
pile
Burns
you're
not
getting
it
burned
all
the
way
and
you
are
getting
deposits
on
vehicles
and
homes
and
things
like
that
in
certain
situations
when
that
that
proximity
Is
there,
but
if
the
board
wishes,
we
can
certainly
look
at
bringing
some
code
language
forward
as
a
discussion.

they
called
up
