Aye
all
opposed
same
sign
and
that
passes
next
up
is
our
citizen
comment
period.
This
is
the
time
if
anything
is
on
our
public
hearings
tonight.
A
This
is
not
the
time
for
those
public
comments
that
will
come
later
in
the
meeting.
You
would
have
three
minutes
to
speak
on
any
topic
that
is
not
on
the
sleep
for
tonight
on
a
public
hearing
and
I.
Don't
think
that
I
actually
have
anybody
signed
up
for
this,
but
if
there
is
someone
that
would
like
to
speak
now,
the
floor
would
be
yours.
A
E
C

We
win
one
item
on
the
consent
agenda.
That's
a
resolution,
allocating
general
fund
unassigned
fund
balance
as
a
beginning
reserve
for
the
county
self-insurance
fund
and
that
allocation
being
a
total
of
1
million
220
thousand
dollars.

A
Second
motion
by
Ms
Parker
seconded
by
Mr
Scott,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
all
opposed
same
sign
motion
passes
next
up.
We
have
our
public
hearings
and
presentations.
First
up
will
be
supervisor
Proclamation,
recognized
in
Emergency
Medical
Services
week
to
Chief
Blankenship.
D
D
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
that
the
Board
of
Supervisors
do
hereby
recognize
the
week
of
May
21st
through
27th.
2023
is
Emergency
Medical
Services
week
with
the
theme
EMS,
where
Emergency
Care
Begins.
The
board
encourages
the
community
to
observe
this
week
with
appropriate
programs,
ceremonies
and
activities,
and
we
thank
you.
F
Mr,
chairman,
sorry,
for
the
delay,
as
you
mentioned,
this
is
a
revisions
I
guess
you
would
say
to
the
division
of
building
fee
and
schedule.
These
the
schedule
has
not
been
amended
since
2020
2003,
so
about
20
years
ago
was
when
we
adopted
the
last
set.
So
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
go
through
those
changes
with
you
briefly:
November
28
2022,
the
Board
of
Supervisors
and
the
Planning
Commission
held
a
joint
work
session.
During
that
work
session,
the
Community
Development
discussed
the
fee
schedule.
F
They
included
starting
work
without
impairment
and
excuse
me
new
fees
of
starting
work
without
a
permit
and
a
new
fee
of
re-inspections
Amendment
of
the
reinspection
fees,
so
April
17
2023
another
board
work
session.
The
board,
through
a
consensus,
agree
to
proceed
with
hearing
to
adopt
the
staff
recommendations
of
those
fees.
So
what
are
those
fees?
F
However,
historically,
we
have
not
charged
that
so
it's
kind
of
hard
to
note
here
for
our
first
offense
we'll
either
do
zero
or
twenty
five
dollars
depending
upon.
If
there
is
something
excessive,
you
know,
25
fee
will
only
be
assessed
for
a
first
offense.
If
someone
has
provided
us,
the
wrong
address
to
inspect
work
is
not
ready.
Once
we
have
showed
up
at
the
site
to
inspect
it
and
at
the
premises
we
just
simply
can't
get
into
the
home
form
the
inspection
and,
of
course,
that
only
second
offense
would
be
100.
F
Third,
offense,
200
and
recurring
would
be
300.
This
is
commercial
reinspection
fees,
residential
reinspection
fees
same
as
I
mentioned
to
you
earlier
there'll
be
zero
or
25
dollars
based
on
the
same
criteria.
The
second
offense
will
be
fifty
dollars.
Third
offense
100
and
recurring
after
that
will
be
150
dollars.
F
Here's
some
of
the
newer
fees
that
we're
recommending
to
add
to
the
fee
schedule
starting
a
job
without
a
permit.
Currently
we
don't
charge
anything
for
that.
However,
with
this
change,
we
would
charge
twice
the
amount
of
permit
fee
with
the
residential
Max
of
2
500
and
a
commercial
Max
of
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
here's
also
another
new
fee,
a
refund
processing
fee.
We
currently
don't
charge
a
process
or
refund.
There
are
three
options
here.
F
So
if
we're
proposed
25,
if
we
have
not
completed
a
review
of
that,
permit,
that's
been
applied
for
we
would
charge
fifty
dollars
for
the
plan
if
it's
been
reviewed
and
20
for
permits
issued,
but
not
less
than
25
dollars
so
and
then,
once
again,
third
party
inspections.
If
we
have
incurred
costs,
those
will
be
built
at
the
applicant
addition
to
the
proposed
refunding
process.
F
A
A
G
G
Sorry
about
that
Sam
Falwell,
2145,
Kobe,
Drive,
Forest,
Virginia,
I'm,
really
not
so
much
opposed
to
the
increase
in
the
fees
I
like
to
see
government
stay
within
their
means
just
be
sure
you
get
caught
up
with
opium,
which
is
other
people's
money.
It's
always
easier
to
raise
the
fees
than
look
and
would
and
see
if
some
sort
of
efficiencies
could
be
salt
rather
than
just
raising
fees.
But
I
am
somewhat
concerned
about
the
increase
in
re-inspection
fees.
G
I
want
to
go
down.
The
last
job,
I
did
I
got
I
got
my
temporary
service
turned
down
and
I
met
the
inspector
out
there
and
he
didn't
like
the
grounding
wire
that
was
in
the
bonding
the
bonding
through
to
a
while.
There
I
had
to
remove
it
to
get
him
to
pass.
It
and
I
asked
him
at
the
time.
C
G
But
that
re-inspection
cost
me
three
days
when
he
was
his
Arrow,
not
mine.
We
went
through
the
footing,
inspection,
Foundation,
inspect
and
framing
inspection,
and
all
that
was
fine.
Then
There
came
time
for
the
framing
and
I
mean
for
the
rough-in
inspection.
He
came
out
there
and
was
leaving
in
about
two
minutes.
I
went
up
to
him,
I
said:
what's
what's
going
on,
I
knew
he
hadn't
been
able
to
have
time
to
inspect.
G
He
said,
were
you
were
required
to
have
the
plans
here
so
I'm,
not
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
inspect
it
and
I
said
their
plans
are
exactly
where
your
written
instructions
told
me
to
put
them,
but
had
I
not
been
on
the
job
that
would
have
been
a
reinspection
fee.
Clearly,
not
my
fault,
but
I
avoided
that
one
then
the
permanent
power
inspection
he
came
out
there
and
spent
two
and
a
half
hours
and
I
couldn't
convince
him
that
everything
was
fine,
so
he
left
and
he
would
not
pass
it.
G
I
got
on
the
phone
and
called
Mr
Goodwin
up
and
said.
Would
you
please
come
in
here
tomorrow,
regardless
of
your
gender
and
look
at
this?
He
did
and
he
came
out
and
looked
at
it
and
he
Shrugged
his
shoulders
and
said
quote:
I,
don't
know
what
the
hell
his
problem
was.
It's
perfect
so
they're
the
kind
of
things
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
So,
if
you're
going
to
charge
me,
re-inspection
fees
do
I,
get
to
charge
the
county
reading
fees.
A
A
If
not
let
staff
answer
if,
if
need
to.
H
What
exactly
is
the
question?
What
we're
looking
for.
H
We
would
only
reassess
these
in
the
most
egregious
circumstances.
It'd
be
three
layers.
The
inspector
on
site
would
bring
it
to
my
attention.
I
would
either
approve
it
or
disapprove
it
again.
It
would
be
in
the
a
repeat
type
of
offense
or
something
where
something
just
not
ready.
It
wouldn't
be
for
a
correction.
Everybody
gets
things
wrong.
We
realize
that
we
make
mistakes,
it
wouldn't
be
for
a
normal
correction.
That's
just
part
of
our
normal
process.
It's
when
the
job
is
not
ready.
We've
been
given
been
locked
out.
H
Something
like
that
again,
it
would
be
a
three
three
layers.
My
collector
would
bring
it
to
me.
I'd
make
a
decision
on
it
and
then
Jordan
would
review
my
decision
on
it
before
we
assessed
any
fees,
so
we
it
would
be
several
looking
at
it
to
make
sure
it
was
appropriate.
We
certainly
wouldn't
just
charge
them
for
something
minor
or
for
something
that
was
incorrect.
F
Yeah
I
think
the
I
think
the
goal
for
us,
too,
is
is
that,
obviously,
if
we
make
an
error
as
well
we're
not
going
to
charge
someone
a
fee
for
that,
you
know.
So
if
we
went
out
in
the
field
and
some
we
had
a
lot
of
newer
inspectors
right
now,
so
they
will
make
errors,
hopefully
we're
doing
a
better
job
of
making
sure
they
make
less
of
them.
But
we
wouldn't
put
that
on
the
property
owner
and
I
think
will
and
I
mentioned
here.
F
We
talked
in
the
work
sessions
that
our
goal
is
obviously
to
get
the
the
homeowner
a
co-compliant
home.
So
when
we
go
out
to
the
job
site,
we
get
called
out
to
do
an
inspection
and
there's
been
no
like.
If
we
went
out
there
and
we
said
fix
this-
we
show
up
the
job
site,
it's
the
same
or
the
May,
and
even
if
they
had
made
a
correction,
we
still
wouldn't
charge
the
fee.
We
would
just
tell
them
that
that
wasn't
the
right
correction,
you
need
to
fix.
F
It
again
call
us
back
next
time,
so
we
would.
Obviously,
it
would
be
somebody
that
we
have
some
people
that
abuse
it.
We
have
a
lot
of
folks
that
call
in
inspections
and
they're,
clearly
not
ready,
we'll
show
up
at
the
site
in
the
morning,
and
they
thought
we
were
going
to
come
in
the
afternoon.
It's
just
not
ready.
Those
are
the
ones
we
would
charge
that
fee
make
sure
it's
ready
when
you
call
on
the
inspection.
F
H
And
I'd
also
like
to
add
that
this
was
very
rarely
would
this
ever
come
be
used
for
a
homeowner,
that's
building
something
on
their
own
property.
It's
mainly
geared
towards
the
professional
contractors
that
that
should
know
how
the
how
the
job
should
be
run
and
when,
when
and
when
not
to
call
for
an
inspection,
we're
very
much
about
educating
the
homeowner
to
why
we,
what
the
codes
are
for
and
how
they
are
providing
them
a
safe
home.
So.
I
I
After
I,
I,
just
called
the
office
sure
and
I
I
would
think
that
and
I
didn't
get
special
treatment
because
I'm
a
supervisor
I
certainly
don't
expect
that
I
mean
this
was
before
I
was
even
on
this
board,
so
I've
always
found
you
all
to
be
responsive
in
the
event,
you
do
make
a
mistake
and
I
appreciate
that
about
y'all.
Thank.
I
Being
key,
I've
worked
everywhere
from
Catawba
to
Richmond
and
farther
out
places
and
I
can
tell
you
that
I
don't
get
as
good
a
service
in
those
places,
as
I
do
right
here
in
Bedford,
so
I
think
you
guys
are
well
within
the
bounds
of
reasonableness
and,
quite
honestly,
I
think
on
your
commercial
fines
or
I
think
you're
a
little
bit
too
cheap.
But.
J
This
particular
resolution
look
I'd
like
to
say
one
thing:
ever
since
I've
been
on
the
board,
I've
always
thought
and
I
talked
to
Jordan
and
different
ones
about
it
and
I'm.
Not
accusing
anybody.
Anything
but
I.
Think
anybody
Works
in
any
Department
in
the
county
should
address
the
citizens
with
respect
and
say
hey.
How
can
I
help
you?
How
can
I
walk
you
through
this,
because
some
people
don't
know
some
things
and
we
need
to
address
them
in
that
manner?
J
C
A
I
A
B
A
K
K
The
reserve
for
tourism
decreased
from
two
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
thirty
nine
dollars
to
a
hundred
and
ninety
eight
thousand
thirty
nine
dollars
and
the
contingency
fund
increased
by
forty
five
hundred
dollars
from
six
hundred
to
fifty
two
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
two
dollars
to
656
652
dollars.
Those
changes
are
reflected
in
the
amended
resolution
that
was
included
at
your
seats
this
evening.
K
In
addition
to
the
County's
budget,
the
advertised
budget
does
include
School
funds,
since
the
county
must
appropriate
those
at
the
fund
level.
The
school
budget
that
was
advertised
includes
operating
budget
of
116
million
point
116.5
million
dollars.
Excuse
me:
a
nutrition
fund
budget
of
just
over
5
million,
a
textbook
fund
budget
of
996
000
and
a
maintenance
Reserve
fund
of
6
million
eight
hundred
thousand
those
totals
take
into
account
operating
funds
that
were
redirected
by
the
school
board
from
the
school's
operating
fund
to
the
textbook
and
maintenance
Reserve
funds.
K
One
thing
to
keep
in
mind
with
the
school
board
budget
is
that
there
will
likely
be
an
amendment
at
a
later
date.
The
school
board
is
meeting
this
week
to
make
or
excuse
me
to
review
their
budget,
and
we
do
anticipate
that
there
will
be
some
changes.
There
could
also
be
some
changes
in
the
future,
based
on
whatever
the
state
decides
to
do
with
their
budget.
K
I
think
there's
a
pretty
big
swing
between
what's
in
the
biennium
versus
what
has
been
proposed
by
both
the
house
and
the
Senate,
but
staff
will
come
back
to
the
board
at
a
later
date
to
adopt
an
amended
budget
once
all
those
amendments
are
final.
D
K
L
M

K
K
K
K
I
A
All
right,
any
other
questions
or
any
discussion
on
the
board
before
I
open
up
the
public
hearing
right,
if
not
I'll,
open
up
the
citizen
comment
portion
of
the
public
hearing
for
this
topic
regarding
the
budgets
I
have
I.
Have
two
people
signed
up
for
this
one.
First,
one
is
Megan
Lucas.
O
Good

on
behalf
of
Bedford

Economic
Development

read
them.

200
jobs.
Project
eastbound
was
considering
beverage
County
that
was
332
jobs,
70
million
capex
project
Hydro.
We
spent
36
hours
on
600
jobs
for
that
one
project,
Rose
just
15
hours
spent
on
that
in
technology,
and
that
was
50
jobs
with
a
30
million
dollar
capital
investment
project
Moonstone,
which
is
a
project
that
came
through
just
yesterday
or
Friday.
O
Actually,
we've
spent
only
three
hours
to
date,
but
expect
to
spend
more
that's
85
jobs
with
a
capital,
investment
of
12
million
and
project
Albatross
came
through
the
other

Project.
Albatross
is
an
advanced
manufacturer.
The
consultant
was
meeting
with
his
client
on
the
west
coast
and
remembered
that
we
had
a
building
here
that
could
meet
the
needs
for
this
particular
project
picked
up
the
phone
in
meeting
and
called
me
directly
to
Ask
for
specific
water
and
power
usage
for
the
Teva
pharmaceutical
facility.
O
Those
are
the
relationships
that
keep
Bedford

top
of
mind
so
that
when
a
company
or
a
a
client
Prospect
is
looking,
we
are
here
to
answer
them.
I
appreciate
your
leadership,
appreciate
everything
you
do
for
Bedford
County
and
congratulations
on
the
3.1.3

That's
big
news!
Thank
you
and
I
hope
you
consider
the
alliance.
Thank.
P
Good
evening,
I'm
Paul
Denham
I'm,
president
of
Southern
air
and
current
chair
of
the
directors
of
the
Lynchburg
Regional
business
Alliance
I'm
here,
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
to
ask
you
to
continue
to
support
the
Lynchburg
Regional
business
Alliance
continuing
this
partnership
sends
a
strong
message
that
Bedford
County
is
committed
to
economic
growth,
opportunity
and
working
with
our
regional
business
Partners
to
attract,
retain
and
develop
the
best
Industries
in
the
state.
P
In
the
past,
several
years,
I
have
been
at
the
table
with
Megan
and
Pam
as
they
work
to
bring
in
these
companies
these
to
Bedford
County,
especially
relative
to
the
Teva
facility,
which
is
sitting
idle,
as,
as
you
know,
I've
marveled
at
how
they
work
together,
how
they
bring
the
leads
in,
and
it
seems
simple,
you
show
the
building
one
time
and
you've
gone
through
the
work.
You
would
think
it
just
happens
again
and
again.
Each
client
has
a
diff.
P
Each
Prospect
has
a
different
need:
a
different
set
of
requirements,
you're
doing
evaluations
of
key
Partners
key
people
to
get
involved
to
help
advise
the
team
Pam
and
the
business
Alliance
brings
those
resources
together
regionally
to
help
impress
these
prospects.
Not
every
Prospect
is
a
perfect
fit.
This
is
a
long
game
and
it
takes
time
to
bring
these
these
Partners
together
and
and
and
be
successful.
P
Investment
in
the
Lynchburg
Regional
business
Alliance
creates
a
multiplier
effect
that
amplifies
your
contribution
and
increases
our
regional
competitive
advantage.
Helping
recruit
and
retain
more
businesses
in
this
region
can
help
create
jobs.
Investments
Innovations,
as
well
as
increasing
the
County's
tax
base,
the
county
and
the
regional
business
lines,
have
maintained
a
strong
strategic
public-private.
P
Since
2014.,
the
County's
commitment
to
economic
and
Workforce
Development
have
been
been
crucial
to
unprecedented
cooperation
and
collaboration
as
a
Bedford,
County,
business
owner
and
Resident.
Please
continue
this
Partnership
if
you
have
additional
expectations,
let's
talk
about
it
because
we
are
stronger
together
and
eager
to
support
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time

A
A
Q
I'm,
a
Chris
Hughes
I
live
at
1099
Gregory
Lane
in
Coleman,
Falls
Virginia
I
appreciate
you.
Let
me
talk
here.
Uninvited
and
all
I've
been
out
here
about
five
years.
I've
worked
with
a
lot
of
you.
I
know
several
of
you
I
appreciate
your
frugality.
I
appreciate
you
running
a
tight
budget,
paying
the
bills.
I
really
do
as
a
constituent.
That
means
a
lot
to
me.
I'm
proud
to
live
here.
I'll.
Q
Tell
you
this
since,
since
being
here,
I
work
at
the
Mill
I'm,
the
public
affairs
manager,
there
I
started
working
with
the
business
Alliance
right
away
when
I
got
here.
I
was
very
impressed
with
them.
I've
lived
and
worked
all
over
the
world.
I've
been
involved
with
Chambers
in
Hawaii
and
California
and
I
will
tell
you.
This
bunch
is
about
the
most
impressive
that
I've
worked
with
on
how
they
approach
their
their
work.
Q
I
will
tell
you
that
the
the
facility
in
Amherst
is
moving
along
being
redeveloped
being
repurposed,
specifically
because
of
Megan
and
her
team
more
than
any
other
group
and
I
Look
to
them
for
initiatives
like
that,
since
I've
been
here,
Megan
and
her
team
have
been
the
only
ones
to
talk
to
me
about
what
what
do
we
need
to
keep
that
Mill
running
right
now?
What
do
we
need
to
have
it
running
and
advancing
25
years
from
now,
50
years
from
now
100
years
from
now?
Q
What
is
the
plan
for
Big
Island
Virginia,
the
the
only
person
that's
had
that
conversation
with
me
is
Megan
and
her
team.
What
does
it
look
like
we're?
A
major,
a
major
source
of
tax
revenue
for
this
region
and
I
got
one
ATM
machine
out
there
and
the
only
person
working
with
me
to
help
resolve
that
situation
is
Megan
Lucas.
I
C
O
Sounded
to
me,
as
if
those
jobs
were
done,
deals
in
Bedford
County,
they
have
not
been
at
it.
Okay,
I
will
tell
you
of
the
active
project,
so
stat
project,
so
eight
projects
that
we
RFP
completed
rfps
eight
projects
that
Pam
and
I
worked
on
to
get
them
here
of
those
eight
three
are
still
active
and
those
three
active
jobs.
One
is
Project
Labor
Day
project,
Labor
Day.
O
If
we
land
IT
project,
Labor,
Day
narrowed
it
down
to
two
sites
in
Virginia,
the
Teva
building
and
Petersburg,
and
we're
still
in
the
hunt
for
that
one.
The
decision
is
going
to
be
made
in
the
next
90
days.
If
that
one
chooses
the
Teva
facility,
that's
350
jobs,
project
Moonstone,
which
is
the
one
that
just
came
in
on
Friday,
that's
85
jobs.
O
So
those
are
jobs
that
we
are
running
after
to
get
that's
capital,
investment
in
jobs,
from
companies
who
have
who
have
reached
out
to
the
alliance
and
said
we
need
this
sort
of
building
or
this
sort
of
land.
Do
you
have
it
and
we've
communicate?
We
have
it
and
they
narrow
it
down
to
us,
and
this
is
us
and
when
they
narrow
it
down
to
us,
then
Pam
and
I
engage
with
that
with
the
site
selector
and
the
corporation
to
say
we
want
you
here.
How
do
we
get
you
here
now?
O
I
talked
about
project
Hydro
project
Hydro
was
600
jobs,
food
and
beverage.
They
were
coming
here
until
the
11th
Hour
and
then
in
the
11th
Hour.
That
company,
which
is
an
international
company,
had
a
recall
at
another
at
another
plant
in
another
part
of
the
world,
and
they
just
froze
that
that
expansion,
so
we're
working
and
chasing
those
jobs
every
day
on
behalf
of
Bedford
County
sites
and
Industry
But.
I
Well,
Mr
chair,
like
I,
said
I'm
still
not
sold
on
on
giving
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
Bedford
taxpayers
money
away
annually.
When,
when
we
look
at
the
the
long
gain
what
we
have
gained
through
this
relationship,
I
just
don't
feel
like
it's.
It's
worth
the
investment,
and
also
since
we
do
have
an
economic
development,
Authority
I
feel
like
it
should
fall
upon
their
shoulders
to
to
to
pick
up.
This
they're
certainly
get
a
fair
amount
out
of
Bedford
County
taxpayers
budgets.
I
In
other
words,
it's
like
we're
paying
twice
for
the
same
thing
and
and
I'm
disappointed.
I
didn't
hear
Mr
Hughes
mention
anyone
else's
name
when
he
spoke
of
all
the
help
he
got
from
Ms
Lucas
in
in
Big,
Island
I
would
think
our
our
Eda
director
would
be
right
out
there
supporting
Bedford,
County's
largest
employer.
Q
I
Thank
you
thank
you,
so
so
I
feel
like.
If
we've
got
a
an
economic
development
Authority,
they
should
be
the
ones
that
are
taking
this
responsibility.
You
know,
team
has
been
sitting
the
tiva
building's
been
sitting
idle
for
years
and
and
there's
there's
no
guarantees
in
any
of
the
the
fine
projects
that
Ms
Lucas
has
mentioned,
and
the
other
thing
that
really
troubles
me
in
Bedford
County
is
is
I.
I
Don't
believe
that
that
we
have
the
workforce
to
to
handle
if
these
businesses
all
were
to
come
here
and
and
I,
think
we've
got
a
serious
shortage
and
it
begins
in
our
public
schools
and
I'm
not
trying
to
blame
anyone
for
this
I'm.
Just
saying
as
a
as
an
employer
myself
with
about
30
employees,
we
struggle
trying
to
find
labor
and
every
these
folks
back
there
shaking
their
heads
in
agreement.
I
We
all
know
that
we
don't
have
a
Workforce
and
and
I
think
that
any
well-informed
business
owner
or
corporation
that
had
any
ideas
of
moving
into
Bedford
County,
one
of
the
first
that
they're
going
to
look
at
our
quality
of
life
they're
going
to
look
at
and
at
our
Workforce
education,
of
course,
and
I
mean
to
me
there's
a
Workforce
shortage
everywhere,
but
but
I
feel
that
that
again
we
ought
to
be
looking
at
spending
our
money
somewhere
else.
I
A
A
A
C
J
J
C
A
K
A
R
Please
answer
probably
superseded
mine,
but
said
you
can
always
amend
your
budget
and
you
do
not
have
to
have
another
another
public
hearing
if
it's
less
than
a
one
percent
change
of
the
total
budget.
But
what
Ashley
was
saying
was
that,
if
you're
appropriating
within
the
department
that
it
wouldn't
require
men
to
the
budget
amendment
to
the
budget
at
all,
so
short
answer
is.
Yes,
you
can
address
that
of
a
later
date
and.
R
B
S
S
K
Yes,
the
budget
appropriation
would
be
at
that
department
level,
so
the
10
7200,
you
would
be
appropriating
the
total
amount
for
that
department.
So
I
would
just
take
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
designations.
If
you
will
offer
those
dollars
so
they're,
basically
just
generic
dollars
and
at
a
later
date
we
could
reassign
them
to
chamber
or
something
else
if
that
was
what
the
board
so
desired.
However
if
those
funds
were
taken
out
of
that
107
200
department
and
moved
to
a
different
department,
then
at
that
point
we
would
need
a
budget
amendment
well.
S
K
I
mean
well,
the
the
budget
is
only
appropriated
at
that
department
level,
so
it
we're
not
appropriating
the
line.
Items
at
all
I
mean
the
Appropriations
that
we
do.
If
you
look
at
the
resolution,
it
is
just
at
that
department
level.
So
if
you
have
certain
items
that
you
want
to
call
out
discuss
at
a
workshop
work
session
and
potentially
redirect
later
then
I
mean
that's
fine.
There's
no
budget
amendment
needed
as
long
as
they
stay
within
the
department.

that
the
creation
of
these

will
bring
much
needed
housing
opportunities
to

A
L
Good
evening,
chairman
board,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
this
proposed
project
to
you,
my
client
Joey
Dawson.
By
the
way,
my
name
is
Russ
Nixon
I'm,
with
Nixon
land
surveying
I
own.
The
surveying
engineering
firm
in
Lynchburg,
Virginia,
Joy
Dawson,
contacted
me
a
month
and
a
half
ago
about
the
potential
for
buying
this
property.
He
was
under
a
time
constraint
for
under
contract
with
the
owners
to
come
up
with
a
project
that
we
believe
would
work
well
in
this
area
of
Bedford
County.
L
It's
recognized
by
my
client
that
there's
a
housing
shortage
up
near
Smith,
Mountain
Lake,
typically
the
housing
shortages
for
those
folks
that
are
traveling
to
Smith
Mountain
Lake
to
visit
it
would
be
for
your
tourists
that
come
there,
and
mainly
for
your
fishermen.
Joey
Dawson
is
a
fisherman
runs,
has
run
in
the
past.
L
He
has
recently
built
a
home
and
is
planning
on
retiring
on
Smith
Mountain
Lake,
and
he
wants
to
do
this
project
not
for
just
himself
for
those
of
us
that
want
to
have
the
opportunity
to
purchase
a
home
in
near
Smith,
Mountain
Lake
and
have
other
amenities
nearby
we're
proposing
47
townhouse
units.
These
will
be
for
sale
by
Joey,
Dawson
and
his
crew.
We
do
expect
some
of
these
to
be
bought
by
other
folks
that
will
be
rented
out
for
short-term
rentals.
L
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
want
to
make
sure
we
provided
on
our
site
plan
was
overflow
parking
for
boat
trailers.
In
connection
with
that,
we
will
have
lighting
and
we
will
also
have
power
hookup
for
those
boats
that
need
to
be
charged
on
the
site.
L
We
will
have
to
follow
all
state
and
federal
regulations
related
to
storm
water,
environmentally
and
storm
water
quality
and
erosion,
Summit
control,
and
obviously
we
will
also
have
to
follow
the
Bedford
County
ordinances
for
those.
In
fact,
Landscaping
will
also
be
done
as
part
of
the
Bedford
County
ordinance,
I.
Think
as
overall
I
think.
What
we've
got
here
is
a
pretty
good
development,
we're
hoping
that
we're
going
to
be
kind
of
a
key
development
in
this
Pro
area
for
other
folks
to
come
and
build
there.
L
We
want
to
see
other
housing
take
place
between
on
right,
House
Road
between
between
State
Park
and
Monita
I.
Think
it's
a
great
location.
It's
Midway
through
the
lake
you've
got
the
state
park
ramps
you
can
go
to.
You've
got
the
the
public
boat
ramps
at
Hills,
Ford,
bridge
and
I.
Think
we
as
a
developer
and
as
designer
you
know,
I
think
we
should
have.
What
we
hear
is
a
great
thing
for
Bedford
County
and
for
that
area
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
L
We've
discussed
that
the
average
price
point
for
these
homes
are
going
to
be
250
thousand
dollars.
Some
of
them
may
have,
depending
on
the
grading,
but
some
of
them
may
actually
have
garages,
but
we
will,
you
know,
obviously
we're
going
to
provide
overflow
for
boat
and
trailers,
and
that
type
thing
for
this
property.
A
L
Airbnbs
those
types
of
uses,
an
Airbnb
yeah.
J
L
Those
are
the
that's
the
type
of
short-term
rentals
I'm
talking
about
Jeff.
Your
planning,
commissioner
brought
it
up.
He
believes
in
most
of
these.
That's
what
they're
going
to
be.
We
don't
believe
so
at
this
price
point.
We
believe
folks
are
going
to
buy
them
and
live
here
at
this
250
price
point.
250,
000
price
point.
Excuse
me.
L
Don't
think
they're
going
to
be
vinyl,
my
client's
not
known
for
using
vinyl
on
much
of
anything
he's
a
lot
of
Hardy
Board
there'll
be
a
lot
of
stone,
work.
L
Mr
Dawson
builds
a
beautiful
home
I,
don't
know
of
many
vinyl
homes
he's
built.
He
can
correct
me
on
that,
but
most
of
the
homes
I've
watched
and
build
are
single
family,
residential
and
he's
built
hundreds
of
homes
all
over
the
area
in
Bedford,
Campbell
County
and
in
Amherst.
L
V
I
think
this
is
still
on
right.
Okay,
my
name
is
Virginia
Saunders
and
I
live
on
Smith
Mountain,
Lake
Parkway,
my
property
is
the
agricultural
property
on
the
south.
End
of
this
property
I
have
great
concerns
and
wish
you
guys
would
disapprove
this
planning.
V
It
one
of
the
roads
leading
to
the
town
homes
are
on
and
going
to
border
my
property.
We
are
ready
when
we
had
the
drive-in
movie
theater
there.
We
had
a
bunch
of
trash
and
debris
that
would
fly
on
and
it's
currently
a
hay
field.
So
our
concern
is
on
trespassers
road
debris,
deterioration
off
the
hillside
that
the
road's
going
to
be
on
the
storm
water
drain,
draining
out
to
a
storm
water
connected
for
Bedford
water
Regional
connecting
to
a
creek,
that's
flooding,
the
back
part
of
our
property.
V
V
So
I
would
just
appreciate
if
you
guys,
would
consider
maybe
developing
in
another
subdivision
area.
That's
already
ready
for
development
like
Mariners
Landing
or
over
there
near
where
Smith
Mountain,
Lake
Eagle
school
is
that's
already
prepared
for
town
homes
and
it's
not
an
agricultural
use
property.
So
that's
our
concern
is
trespassers
debris,
erosion
and
trash,
so
I
would
appreciate
if
you
guys,
would
consider
that
in
regards
to
our
property.
Thank
you.
C
W
W
Marcy
Dawson
and
address
is
3091
Red,
House,
Road,
Rustburg
Virginia,
so
looking
at
the
numbers
on
the
market,
I
pulled
up
from
the
Roanoke
MLS
this
morning,
so
there
are
only
41
active
listings
in
Bedford
County
right
now.
That's
across
all
price
ranges
and
types
of
homes
and
when
I
look
specifically
in
the
SML
Bedford
County
area,
there
are
only
26
homes
listed.
W
Only
three
of
those
homes
are
under
three
hundred
thousand
and
if
I'm,
looking
specifically
for
a
town
home,
there
are
zero.
So
right
now
we're
in
a
historic
low
inventory.
It's
been
this
way
for
the
past
couple
years
and
when
you
look
at
this
data,
you
know
if,
if
you're
looking
for
a
town
home,
it
went
from
low
inventory
to
no
inventory
and
I.
W
There's
really
not
a
lot
here
to
encourage
movement
within
the
county,
much
less
bringing
people
into
the
county
into
the
county,
because
there's
just
no
there's
no
inventory
this
morning
in
our
monthly
meeting
at
Elite
Realty
where
I
work
we
go
around.
We
go
around
the
table
every
morning
and
everyone
asks
what
new
listings
do
you
have?
What
new
listings
do?
W
So
you
know
I'll
just
add
to
that
with
over
81
000
residents
in
Bedford
County,
the
lack
of
inventory
presents
much
more
of
a
challenge
to
those
who
want
to
move
to
the
area
or
within
it
than
it
does
an
opportunity
to
do
so.
Sellers
are
hesitant
to
sell
because
they
don't
know
where
they're
going
to
go
when
their
home
sells.
W
The
interest
rates
have
also
posed
a
challenge:
it's
lowered,
buying
power
for
buyers
and
the
overall
cost
to
build
is
up
as
as
well,
which
also
you
know
it
raises
prices
in
the
homes.
It's
another
challenge,
so
our
goal
is
to
provide
something:
that's
affordable
for
people
that
would
be
considered
an
opportunity
rather
than
another
challenge,
and
then
lastly,
I
just
want
to
add.
In
the
last
six
months,
52
town
homes
sold
in
Bedford
County,
with
an
average
of
23
days
on
Market
the
town
homes
under
300
000
sold
in
13
days.
W
So
when
these
properties
were
listed,
there
was
not
a
lot
of
time
to
react.
There
was
not
a
lot
of
time
to
waste.
You
had
to
be
ready,
willing
and
able
to
buy
so
I
really
feel
like
there's
a
huge
void
in
the
market
for
this
type
of
property.
In
this
price
range
and
I
feel
like
it
would
be
a
very
successful
place
to
settle
in
the
market.
For
folks-
and
that's
all
I've
got
thank.
C
W
X
So
my
name
is
Joey
Dawson
I'm,
the
guy.
That's
you
know
applying
for
the
development
side
of
this
thing
and
I
am
a
builder
and
I
am
a
I'm,
a
very
big
believer
in
leaving
things
better
than
you
found
them
and
I'm.
Also
a
big
believer
in
listening
to
what
people
ask
me.
I
get
calls
every
day.
You
know
every
house
that
I
have
on
a
contract
under
construction
right
now
is
under
contract
and
everyone
that
buys
from
me
calls
me
says:
hey
I
got
family
moving
to
the
area.
You
know
their
budget's
245.
X
Their
budget's
265.
I
cannot
build
a
single
family
home
for
less
than
300.
This
is
opportunity
for
me
to
to
hopefully
scratch
that
itch
for
these
folks
and
the
lady
that
spoke
on
the
farm,
land,
I
I
grew
up.
Farming
I
still
have
a
farm
in
Rustburg
I'm,
an
avid
Outdoorsman
and
I'm.
The
guy
that
that
does
I.
Do
sympathize
with
that,
but
I'm
also
the
guy
that
that's
responsible
with
my
job
sites
and
I'm
responsible
with
what
what
I
do.
As
a
as
a
professional
and
Mr
Davis
asked
about
finishes.
X
We
do
a
lot
of
Farmhouse
look
a
lot
of
vertical
side
and
a
lot
of
rough
song
post
I
also
have
a
cabinet
shop
in
Rustburg.
We
we
custom,
built
a
lot
of
you
know:
shutters
they're,
not
they're,
not
cookie
cutter.
We
really
try
to
to
make
people
like
it's
our
goal
for
people
when
they
buy
from
us
that
they're
super
super,
proud
of
their
home
single
biggest
investment
for
most
families,
and
we
get
that.
We
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
it,
and
we
appreciate
you
considering
this.
A
Y
Y
It
may
be
a
precursor
of
good
development
along
White
House
Road,
but
has
been
stated
before.
There
is
no
multi-family
development
from
Anita
to
White
House
Road.
This
would
be
the
first
one
and
as
far
as
the
view
shed
goes,
it
would
make
a
huge
difference.
I
just
ask
you
to
think
about
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
S
S
Where
is
the
water?
Is
that
right.
C
I
Mr
chair,
one
thing
that
is
really
annoying
to
me
is:
is
I,
hear
Realtors
especially
tell
us
how
we've
got
a
housing
shortage
in
Bedford
County
and
we
must
provide
houses
for
people.
You
know
I
wasn't
born
here,
but
I've
been
here
for
most
of
my
life,
almost
at
least
almost
60
years
and
I
counted
a
privilege
to
live
in
Bedford,
County,
Virginia
I
think
it's
it's
a
very
special
place
and
and
I
take
it
very
seriously.
Take
it
to
heart.
I
I
I
know
White
House
Road,
quite
well,
because
when
I
was
a
kid,
we'd
go
water,
skiing
at
least
once
a
week
and
travel
that
road
and
I
still
go
there
on
my
motorcycle
and
so
but
but
this
concept
of
providing
houses
for
everybody.
So
people
can
move
into
the
county.
You
know.
Are
we?
Why
don't
we
just
build
hostels?
If
that's
the
attitude
and
just
let
anybody
come
in
just
like
people
are
crossing
the
border
from
Mexico
into
our
country.
I
Again
we
have
a
limited
amount
of
housing,
but
one
of
the
things
that
makes
Bedford
County
so
special
is,
is
our
views?
I
farm
also
and
I've
been
farming.
All
my
life
I've
lived
on
the
largest
ranches
in
North
America
in
Montana,
and
places
like
that
in
in
I've,
been
all
over
the
United,
States
and
I.
I
Think
Bedford
County
is
as
beautiful
as
any
place
I've
ever
been,
and-
and
that
certainly
does
create
a
a
strong
desire
for
folks
to
live
here,
especially
when
we
still
have
a
relatively
low
tax
rate,
I
think
the
lowest
in
the
state
and
and
so
why
wouldn't
people
want
to
move
here?
In
fact,
why
wouldn't
people
want
to
move
from
the
city
to
these
town
homes,
where
they're
paying
you
know
ridiculously
high
tax
rates
in
Lynchburg,
and
they
can
move
to
Bedford
County
and
bring
their
their
way
of
life
to
Bedford,
County
and
I?
I
Don't
mean
to
insinuate
by
that,
but
anyway,
that
to
me,
why
would
you
want
to
stay
in
the
city
when
you
can
move
out
in
the
county
and
cut
your
tax
rate
significantly,
I
think
that
who's
buying
these
houses
in
Virginia
I've
been
told
by
a
lot
of
folks
that
we
have
out-of-state
buyers
buying
homes
in
Virginia
and
it's
happening
not
just
in
Virginia
but
all
over
the
United
States.
So
why
that's?
I
Why
there's
not
houses
we've
got
out
of
state
buyers,
buying
these
houses,
and
then
we've
got
the
short-term,
rentals
and
and
a
lot
of
times.
If
you
speak
to
people
who
live
next
to
these
or
between
these
short-term
rentals,
you've
got
a
lot.
A
lot
of
complaints
and
Mr
Mitchell
has
validated
that
numerous
times
and
Mr
tuck
you
and
Mr
Johnson
are
both
equally
aware
of
that
so
clearly
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
this
another
thing
that
troubles
me
is
I.
I
Have
you
know
everything
you
said
about
the
fishermen
and
so
forth
want
to
come
out
here?
That's
all
fine
for
banter,
but
it
wouldn't
hold
up
in
a
court
of
law.
There's
no
Witnesses
here
to
tell
us
about
that,
but
not
being
a
lawyer
myself,
but
I
will
say
this.
I
know
folks
who
complain
about
times
when
the
water
table
in
Smith
Mountain
Lake
is
already
getting
low.
I
I
I.
Think
that's
a
valid
concern
that
we
have
you're
right,
there's
no
town
homes
in
Bedford
County.
Why
do
we
need
town
homes
in
Bedford
County?
This
is
the
agricultural
County.
Agriculture
is
our
number
one.
Tourism
and
Recreations
fall
right
in
there
with
us.
Why
do
we
want
to
ruin
our
best
assets
by
putting
town
homes
in
there?
There's
nothing
wrong
with
putting
some
houses
out
there
if
it's?
If
it
qualifies
for
that,
but
is
am
I
correct?
Is
it
R1.
A
It
is
AV.
I
In
so
therefore,
I,
I,
think
and
and
I
certainly
applaud
the
folks.
You,
sir,
with
your
your
construction,
and
you
seem
like
a
a
reputable
Builder
and
and
I
think
you
do
a
great
job.
I.
Just
don't
think
it's
the
right
idea
here,
because
if
you
take
47
town
homes
and
according
to
Mr
Daniel
from
VDOT,
there's
anywhere
from
he
mentioned
up
to
10
trips
per
day
per
unit,
so
put
another
400
cars
trips
a
day
on
White
House
Road,
which
is
already
crowded
enough
I
I,
just
don't
think
it
works.
N
C
F
F
Okay,
just
depends
on
how
tall
floors
are.
N
O
L
N
F
B
B
Yeah,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
just
real
quickly?
We
were
talking
earlier
about
the
need
for
a
Workforce
in
Bedford
County
and
how
we're,
having
a
hard
time,
Mr
Davis,
was
saying
getting
people
to
work
for
him,
and
other
businesses
are
as
well
well
when
the
realtor
was
explaining
that
there
are
no
homes
in
an
affordable
homes,
Workforce
housing.
That
could
be
a
reason
why
in
Bedford
County
in
that
area,
we
want
more.
We
want
more
economic
development,
but
if
they
can't
build
a
restaurant
and
get
staff,
then
it's
a
trouble.
It's
a
problem.
B
A
A
A
Since
this
is
in
District
Two
I'm
gonna
break
a
little
protocol
and
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
to
approve
resolution
r5223-04
with
the
addition
of
the
two-story
maximum
as
a
condition
above
grade.
Y
A
Ocs
and
that
passes
that
moves
us
on
to
consideration
of
an
ordinance
to
vacate
a
portion
of
an
existing
public
right-of-way
Street
known
as
the
Terminus
of
private
Shores
Drive,
persuade
to
the
provisions
of
section
15
0.2-2272
of
the
code
of
Virginia
of
1950
as
amended
ordinance.
Oh
zero,
five,
two,
two
two
three-05
presented
by
Mr
Skelly
thank.
R
You
Mr
chair,
and
we
actually
have
two
similar
applications
from
citizens
this
evening
regarding
what
we
commonly
call
paper
streets,
particularly
back
in
the
1960s,
the
county
allowed
what
were
called
Class
B
subdivision
roads.
That's
where
the
road
was
platted
was
dedicated
to
the
county
for
Public
Access,
but
did
not
qualify
for
public
maintenance.
We
still
have
a
ton
of
them
out
there
in
the
county
nine
times
out
of
ten.
R
Mr
will
Yeager
here,
who
is
the
applicant
to
present
their
application
as
well,
but
essentially
for
this
one
in
particular,
the
original
plaid
even
said
that
this
temporary
cul-de-sac
was
supposed
to
be
abandoned
once
construction
was
done
or
the
roads
were
connected
that
that
never
happened.
So
essentially,
you
have
some
folks
who
have
technically
public
right-of-way
on
their
property.
I
believe
they
even
have
a
dwelling
on
it
at
this
point,
so
this
is
cleaning
up
the
real
estate,
title
and
notice
was
published
in
the
paper
and
went
to
adjoining
landowners.
R
I
have
not
heard
anything.
Our
office
has
not
heard
anything
on
this
application
and
subject
to
Mr
Yeager's
presentation
and
public
comment.
We
would
recommend
approval
of
the
ordinance
and
certainly
happy
to
answer
any
questions
at
this
point.
A
I
have
one
I'm
not
understanding
exactly
what
they're
being
vacated,
because
again
this
adjoins
our
farm
and
I
know
the
cul-de-sac,
but
where,
in
that
code,
I
can't
tell
from
this
survey
what
we're
being
asked,
Skyway
Drive
ends:
private
Shores
begins,
there's
a
cul-de-sac
where
everybody
turns
around
and
mailboxes
and
everything
of
theirs.
Is
it
a
portion
of
that
cul-de-sac
or.
R
T
The
very
end
of
the
road
yeah,
the
very
end
of
sky
with
it,
does
not
connect
to
the
other
subdivision
Street
over
at
the
airport.
Right,
oh,
never,
yes,
to
the
airport.
T
T
T
Last
Patrick
alluded,
the
the
original
plat
was
recorded
in
1964,
which
allowed
for
the
creation
of
public
right-of-ways
the
house.
That's
in
question
that
was
built
in
the
cul-de-sac
was
built
in
1967
and
I.
Don't
know
if
there
was
really.
O
T
Of
oversight
in
the
county
at
that
point,
as
far
as
where
structures
were
were
built
and
and
what
kind
of
inspections
were
in
at
the
time.
But
but
it
was
clearly
basically
the
end
of
the
road
and
there
wasn't
any
questions
from
HOAs
or
anything
at
that
time,
that
it
was
just
how
it
was
constructed.
T
But
Mr
Mr
beamus
owned
the
two
properties
they
just
purchased
the
one
at
the
very
end
of
the
cul-de-sac
and
are
now
looking
to
clean
up
this
area.
That
at
one
time,
was
considered
an
easement
erroneously
by
a
previous
survey.
Or
there
was
no
action
taken
by
any
public
official
to
classify
that
as
an
easement
instead
of
a
right-of-way
and
that's.
Why
we're
here
now
asking
for
your
approval
to
be
able
to
vacate
it
and
transfer
that
right
away
to
the
the
bemises,
the
joining
property
owners?
T
A
T
T
H
T
A
Right
appreciate
it,
thank
you
open
up
the
public
comment
portion
of
this.
No
one
has
signed
up
for
this
particular
one,
but
if
there's
somebody
here
that
knows
more
about
than
I
do
and
please
stand
up
and
speak
there's
nobody
here
for
that.
A
Okay,
so
I'll
close,
the
citizen
comment
portion
of
that
and
any
discussion
from
the
board
on.
D
This
particular
one
just
from
a
personal
note,
Mr
chairman
I'd,
like
to
see
that
connect
over
to
Diane
Drive,
because
you
only
make
a
mistake
of
riding
your
bicycle
down
there
to
the
end
of
that
road.
One
time
that's.
C
A
C
S
Like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
ordinance,
oh
zero,
five,
two,
two,
two
three-05
okay.
J
D
A
R
A
R
Thank
you,
Mr
chair.
This
is
a
similar
situation.
This
one
is
in
Mr
Johnson's
District,
which
is
regarding
a
portion
of
Fisher
Drive
as
it
was
planted,
which
is
directly
exits
onto
Stewartsville
road,
again,
very
similar
situation,
where
you
right
now
have
a
metal
building
that
was
built
in
the
cul-de-sac
as
was
originally
planted,
but
the
road
never
really
went
where
the
original
Platt
said
it
was
supposed
to
go
and
I
did
receive
our
office
received.
R
Some
numerous
calls
from
Mr
Lafell,
who
I
believe
is
here
in
the
audience
and
signed
up
to
speak
I,
also
spoke
with
an
attorney
that
he
had
retained
at
one
point,
not
sure
what
the
particular
objection
is,
but
I'm
sure
Mr
Lafell
can
let
us
know
his
concerns.
If
the
board
were
to
move
forward
with
this
plant
vacation
with
that,
I
would
turn
it
back
over
to
Mr
Yeager.
C
T
Hello
again,
has
everybody
had
a
chance
to
review
the
Plaid
of
question.
This
particular
subdivision
was
done
in
1974,
very
similar
situation.
This
public
right
away,
the
only
two
property
owners
are
Mr
Lafell
and
Mr
Benson.
T
The
the
current
zoning
is
AP
zoning,
but
the
the
parcels
are
very
large,
they're,
11
acres,
plus
not
exactly
sure
why
this
cul-de-sac
was
created
because
it
really
was
only
seemed
to
serve
one
property,
but
that
was
just
how
the
the
plant
was
done
at
that
time.
I
got
maybe
four
availability
to
locate
the
house
on
either
side
of
the
road,
but
as
of
right
now
the
the
cul-de-sac
is
really
non-functional.
A
So
all
right,
I'll
open
the
citizen,
comment
portion
and.
C
Z
Z
My
name
is
Heather
Lavelle
Jones,
my
grandparents
Philip,
who
I
brought
with
me
tonight
and
Alice
Lafell,
have
lived
in
Bedford
County
at
1100
Fisher
Drive,
for
over
40
years.
They
are
now
in
their
mid-80s
and
have
spent
half
their
life.
Creating
a
beautiful
country
home
place
that
my
family
hopes
to
make
their
own
in
the
future.
They
have
taken
great
care
of
their
home
surrounding
property
and
the
private
road
that
leads
to
it.
They
have
maintained
the
private
road
for
their
neighbors
to
have
easy
access
in
and
out
of
their
homes,
including
after
snowstorms.
Z
When
my
grandfather
plows
the
road
himself
for
decades,
their
neighbor
across
the
street
was
Paul
Benson,
who
they
continually
looked
out
for
as
he
grew
older
and
lost
Mobility.
There
were
close
friends
who
respected
and
cared
for
one
another.
After
Paul
passed
away
in
2015,
his
son
Chris
Benson,
took
over
ownership
of
the
property,
then
in
early
2016,
a
30
by
50,
1500
square
foot,
metal
garage
building
was
constructed
in
the
middle
of
the
cul-de-sac
of
the
private
road.
Z
No
building
permit
was
obtained,
which
means
no
survey
approved,
building
plans
or
Building
Inspections
were
done
so
let
Bedford
County
know
about
the
existence
of
this
structure.
These
are
requirements
to
ensure
compliance
with
property
lines.
Building
codes
and
tax
assessment
example
protect
the
interests
of
Bedford
County
residents
during
construction
in
2016.
My
grandmother
spoke
with
an
official
at
the
Bedford
County
Planning
Department,
about
the
garage
being
built
in
the
middle
of
the
cul-de-sac.
Z
She
was
told
not
to
worry
about
it,
because
the
county
assessor
would
see
it
during
their
next
review
and
resolve
it
at
that
time.
After
repeated
visit
sites,
site
visits
and
reviews
over
seven
years,
it
remains
unresolved.
The
property
is
now
up
for
sale,
bringing
the
issue
to
the
Forefront
with
the
county.
Again,
the
petition
from
Chris
Benson
before
you
tonight
rewards
non-compliant
behavior.
That
is
not
in
the
best
interest
interest
of
the
citizens
of
Bedford
County.
It
Awards
him
3.5
times
more
property
than
my
grandparents
Which
is
far
from
the
50
50
split.
Z
A
T
I
I,
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
rebuttal.
I
just
would
say
that
that
that
the
circumstances
of
the
situation
I
think
the
way
we've
tried
to
break
up
the
right
away
to
be
as
even
as
possible,
with
the
extension
of
the
property
line
with
Mr
Lafell
I,
don't
know
splitting
at
50
50
would
benefit
anybody
at
that
point
if
we
would
have
half
of
a
road
and
a
half
of
a
cul-de-sac
to
go
to
Mr
Lafell
from
the
way
it's
treated.
A
C
A
T
Planet,
but
it's
not,
there
is
a
small
turnaround
area,
but
it's
basically,
yes,
just
a
gravel
turnaround
area.
It's
very
small.
T
T
T
There's
a
portion
of
his
driveway
that
comes
off
of
it,
but
yes,
he
would
having
a
bit
more
Center.
That
of
that
roadway
to
extend
off
of,
but
for
what
we've
got
to
do
is
included
everything
that
that
he's
currently
using,
so
that
he
can
continue
add
to
his
property.
This
portion
of
the
right
way
is.
J
J
T
It
can
be
like
I,
say
they're.
The
I
would
assume
that
Mr
Benson
may
end
up
Shifting
the
the
gravel
over
to
his
side
to
still
maintain
access
to
the
building.
What
Mr
Lafell
chooses
to
do
with
his
portion
of
this
right
away?
It
would
be
up
to
him,
but
I
would
say
he
probably
still
wouldn't
have
a
small
portion
of
it
there
for
Access
and
landscaping
or,
however,
he
wanted
to
treat
it.
Y
S
What
I
can
try
to
even
figure
out
here,
but
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
seem
like
this
is
the
best
solution.
Just
by
just
me.
Looking
at
this,
the
building
belongs
to
the
bensons
and
clearly
is
built
in
the
cul-de-sac
and
if
you're
we're,
trying
and
you're
asking
the
county
to
vacate
the
right-of-way
or
is
that
what
we're
you're.
Y
T
Say
I
understand
you
know
we
could
possibly
look
to
split
the
cul-de-sac,
but
then
it
would
make
sort
of
that
area
of
cul-de-sac
intrusive
to
Mr
Benson's
property
as
well.
C
T
I,
don't
know
how
much
benefit
it
would
be
to
the
lafelles.
By
doing
so,
it's
it
is
just
a
very
unique
laying
piece
of
property
too
and
I.
Don't
understand
why
the
original
cul-de-sac
was
shown
to
begin
with.
If
the
way
this
these
properties
were
originally
divided,
I
guess.
My
question
is
why
why
was
the
building
put
their.
D
A
J
Where
is
the
this
building,
where
the.
T
T
Are
facing
if
you're
look
if
you're
going
down
the
road
they're
facing
towards
towards
the
road
sort
of
parallel
to
the
roadway,
so
you
got
to
come
off
into
the
driveway
to
go
into
the
building.
D
J
O
C
T
J
T
A
T
S
S
T
D
N
My
role,
the
motor
supervisors,
I
I,
think
I.
Don't.
O
N
L
S
N
Until
such
time
that
these
two
Property
Owners
can
go
come
to
a
an
amicable
agreement
on
how
the
property
is
going
to
be
allocated-
or
there
be
some
remuneration
to
the
other
property
owners,
something
that
both
parties
can
come
back
to
us
and
say
we're
okay
at
this
point,
this
is
how
we'd
like
to
do
it.
Give
it
I,
I
I,
don't
want
to
find
myself
rewarding
bad
behavior
and
I
feel
like
that.
N
C
C
N
C
C
D
C
D
N
F
F
I
mean
I;
this
is
kind
of
The
Last
Resort
I
mean
this
was
born
from
a
complaint.
This
was
the
way
to
resolve
the
complaint
that
was
the
best
way
other
than
removing
the
structure
or
moving
in
on
the
property.
You
know,
I
was
going
to
suggest
maybe
a
better
way
to.
Obviously
you
want
to
get
rid
of
the
bulb
of
the
cul-de-sac.
So
when
you
do
vacate
these,
you
want
to
get
rid
of
the
bulb.
F
A
suggestion
I
would
make
is,
if
you
have
a
certain
square
footage
that
would
be
half
of
that
cul-de-sac
figure
out
a
way
to
add
that
to
the
lafell's
property.
That
would
probably
be
the
best
solution.
That
would
be
how
I
would
do
it.
We
also
don't
want
to
create
like
a
regular
piece
of
a
lot,
which
is
what
you'd
have
if
you
gave
them
half
the
cul-de-sac
piece,
so
that
would
require
the
Planning
Commission
to
Grant
the
waiver
from
that
as
well.
F
So
my
suggestion
for
you
all
would
be
to
do
some
kind
of
land
swap
where
you
end
up
with
a
nice,
a
non-irregular
property
that
doesn't
end
result
where.
O
T
D
T
R
Boundary
line
adjustment
that
gives
not
an
irregular
pair
of
parcels
but
a
fair
division,
equal
division
between
the
two
landowners
and
come
back
and
then
the
county
would
join
in
that,
essentially
land
transaction
to
say:
we're
letting
go
our
interest
in
the
public
right-of-way.
That's
not
used
so
long
as
what
is
planted
equitably
to
the
two
owners
is
accomplished.
D
O
A
Goes
to
Benson
and
sorry
they
put
that
in
the
middle
of
the
way
there
but
got
a
path
to
get
to
it,
but
but
you're,
probably
better
off
to
work
it
out.
Y
C
J
S
A
A
A
M
M
We've
had
a
couple
of
units
that
have
gone
out
and
had
to
replace
them
with
a
temporary
call
Bell
system
for
just
those
rooms
that
does
not
correlate
with
the
others.
We
are
recommending
replacing
this
current
callbell
system
with
a
current
ascom
system.
This
is
the
same
type
system.
That's
used
in
the
central
hospitals.
M
M
M
N
Paul
Mr,
chair
I,
would
just
make
one
minor
correction
that
is
I
toured
the
facility
when
it
was
still
at
metal
studs
in
2006..
So
these
were
in.
That
system
would
have
been
installed
either
2006
or
2000..
C
A
L
L
R
Mr,
thank
you
Mr
chair,
and
there
are
three
proposed
changes
to
the
board's
bylaws
just
in
summary,
the
first
would
move
on
the
agenda
board
appointments
to
after
the
County
Administrator
report
just
to
allow
better
flow.
If
we
have
closed
session
to
discuss
potential
appointees,
there
was
a
cons.
R
Second
matter
is:
there
is
a
concern
over
people
appearing
for
citizen
comment,
period
between
public
exceed
and
Planning
Commission
public
hearing,
and
whenever
the
board
would
have
a
public
hearing,
and
so
we
tried
to
tweak
the
language
just
a
little
bit,
so
we
didn't
have
people
getting
two
three
four
bites
at
the
Apple
of
coming
to
speak
on
the
same
matter
and
the
Third
change
was
to
completely
supplant
the
all
virtual
meeting
section.
R
The
version
that
was
in
your
bylaws
really
was
not
in
accordance
with
the
Virginia
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
in
that
it
did
not
specifically
specify
that
you
all
can
only
hold
a
all
virtual
meeting
if
there's
been
a
declared
emergency
and
the
fact
that
the
old
virtual
meeting
has
to
discuss
matters
pertaining
to
the
emergency.
A
S
S
I
was
like
nope
wrong,
actually
had
a
citizen
reach
out
and
I
thought
it
was
a
actually
a
legitimate
concern
that
when
citizens
were
coming
up
to
the
podium
and
they're
stating
their
name
and
their
address
for
the
record
and
of
course,
we're
YouTube
and
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
craziness
going
on
and
and
then
all
controversial.
Maybe
topics
and
you
might
not
agree
with
the
speaker,
who's
speaking
and
the
speaker
is
given
public
record
their
name
and
address.
V
S
AA
That's
the
one
we
already
sign
up:
yeah,
no
I
that
part
I
totally
understand,
but
just
so
we're
clear,
because
we're
trying
to
protect
people's
privacy
and
we're
trying
to
keep
people
safe.
When
people
submit
their
comments
to
me
through
email
and
it's
got
their
email
address,
it's
got
their
name.
I
know
people
have
had
contact
from
people
who
are
hostile
to
them
because
of
those
comments.
So
are
we
just
hiding
all
of
that,
except
for
a
name
I?
Don't
want
to
use
the
word
Heidi
protecting
all
of
that
except.
S
Redacting
redacting
but
I
mean
maybe
tonight,
instead
of
just
adopting
this
tonight
or
the
changes.
Maybe
we
tweaking
a
little
bit
more
and
bring.
J
J
C
I
S
S
D
J
J
N
I
I
do
have
one
other
one
of
clarification.
There
are
times
where
someone
might
and.
O
N
Shouldn't
get
two
bites
at
the
app,
but-
and
maybe
this.
C
N
The
other
alternative
here
with
respect
to
someone
speaking
on
an
issue
that
is
going
to
have
a
public
hearing
if
they
came
during
the
public
comment
period
on
an
item
that
everyone
knows
is
going
to
have
a
public
hearing,
then
they
are
just
prohibited
from
speaking
at.
N
R
Sure
and
I
think
there
could
also
be
situations
where,
like
at
the
end
of
a
Planning
Commission
meeting,
they'll
say
this
will
be
in
front
of
the
Board
of
Supervisors
at
an
upcoming
meeting.
They
come
to
the
very
next
time
thinking
it's
going
to
be
on
the
agenda
so,
instead
of
making
them
show
up,
yeah
next
I
could
see
soliciting
comments
at
the
citizen
comment,
but
prohibiting
them
from
speaking
again
at
the
public
hearing.
N
N
J
O
O
M
E
I
J
R
S
If
there's,
obviously
when
they
come
to
speak,
we
know
what
it
is
and
then
we
can
tell
them
then:
okay,
you're
speaking
on
this
public
hearing,
it
will
be.
You
won't,
be
able
to
speak
when
it
comes
up.

About
board
committees,
when
the
Committees
were
established,
there
was
a
community
services
committee
that
was
unfilled
at
the
time
staff
has
been
starting
to
have
some
preliminary
discussions
and
some
meetings
about
the
use
of
the
opioid
abatement
monies
that
the
counties
counties
receive
has
received
and
will
continue
to
receive
over
the
next
number
of
years.
So
later
it
doesn't
have
to
be
tonight
or
even
the
next
meeting,
but
sometime
by
the
end
of
the
summer.
N
AA
D
E
I
had
this
under
my
section,
but
may
as
well.
Do
it
under
board
committee
reports
Board
of
Equalization
the
board
is
needs
to
start
thinking
about
who
to
appoint.
To
that
reminder,
Board
of
Equalization
is
the
follow-up.
Basically
the
follow-up
to
the
reassessment
process.
You
know
the
first
phase
was
going
through
Wingate
second
phase
will
go
through
the
citizen.
E
Board
of
the
Board
of
Equalization
tradition
has
said
that
we
typically
staff
has
contacted
the
individuals
who
served
on
the
Board
of
Equalization
the
last
time
two
members
of
in
the
from
last
Board
of
Equalization
to
indicate
that
they
may
be
willing
to
serve
again
if
the
Board
of
Supervisors
were
so
willing.
But
we
still
need
three
additional
members,
so
our
thought
was
the
what
we
do
with
some
of
the
other
appointments.
E
We
would
advertise
and
put
some
information
out
there
to
the
public
about
if
people
want
to
apply
for
the
Board
of
Equalization,
and
then
we
can
review
that
at
a
future
board.
Meeting.
Okay.
J
E
Those
are
all
at
large,
they
are
are
at
large.
There
is
one
little
caveat
that
at
least
at
least
two
of
the
five
members
have
to
be
an
appraiser
or
real
estate
professional
builder
developer
in
that
type
of
trade.
So,
and
it
was
at
least
two
you
can
have
more
than
two
of
that
type
of
genre
or
profession,
but
you
at
least
have
to
have
two
of
the
five
in
that
knowledge
base
window.
E
Well,
I,
don't
know
about
typical.
Our
the
plan
was
is
to
try
to
have
these
appointed
by
the
end
of
June
and
then
I
believe
it
gives
a
sort
of
court
judge
for
basically
final
appointment
and
then
the
thought
working
with
Miss
Patterson
and
the
commissioner
revenues
office
was
to
have
a
hearings
begin
in
August.
E

I
It's
briefly:
I
went
to
last
Friday
night
to
the
FFA
banquet
and
once
again
it
was
a
great
event
to
see
some
Bedford
County's
finest
young
people
put
on
a
presentation
and
a
meal,
and
they
conduct
themselves
very
well,
and
everybody
knows
what
FFA
stands
for,
but
I
just
thought
it
was
a
great
event
got
a
good
group
of
young
young
people
and
and
the
folks
that
help
keep
them
straight.
