Description
The regular monthly meeting of the Town of Black Mountain Aldermen held Monday, January 13, 2014.
C
Let
us
pray
our
heavenly
father.
We
want
to
give
thanks.
We
want
to
give
thanks
for
the
place
in
which
we
live,
thankful,
lord,
for
all
the
wonderful
things
that
we
enjoy
from
day
to
day
and
lord.
We
trust
that
we
do
not
take
them
for
granted.
Thank
you,
lord,
for
the
wonderful
beauty
of
the
trees
that
we
enjoy,
what
I've
seen
mountains
and
other
places
without
trees
upon
them
and
there's
a
world
of
difference.
C
Lord.
We
thank
you
for
the
water
that
we
have
so
much
of
it.
We're
just
grateful
for
how
you
provided
for
this
valley
and
for
the
needs
that
it
has.
We
thank
you,
lord,
for
the
human
resources
that
we
have
in
this
valley
for
the
men
and
women
who
get
up
each
day
and
go
and
work
hard
to
provide
for
their
families
and
for
their
neighbors
and
father.
We
thank
you
for
the
men
and
women
who
work
for
the
town
of
black
mountain.
C
We
ask
your
lord
to
bless
them
as
they
work
diligently
to
keep
us
safe
in
every
way
and
father.
We
thank
you
for
these
who
are
on
our
board.
We
are
grateful.
Lord
for
their
dedication
and
their
desire,
we
realize
that
they
must
have
a
great
desire,
great
burden,
to
see
good
for
this
valley,
or
they
would
not
give
their
time
their
effort
for
this
cause.
C
C
You
have
said
that
if
any
man
like
wisdom,
let
him
ask
of
god
who
gives
to
all
men,
liberally
and
father.
We
pray
that
you
would
bless
all
of
us
liberally
with
the
wisdom
that
is
from
heaven,
the
one
that
brings
about
peace
and
lord.
We
pray
that
you'll
bless
in
this
meeting
tonight
that
it
might
be
productive
and
that
it
might
be
one
in
the
end
that
we
can
all
rejoice
in
and
feel
good
about.
In
christ's
name,
we
pray,
amen,
amen.

A
A
Okay
and
then
phil
bessey.
D
A
Okay,
all
right,
fine
man,
all
right
communications
from
the
board
urban
forestry
commission
reporting
on
downtown
planters,
our
own,
mr
van.
A
E
Hey
folks,
I
haven't
seen
y'all
all
year.
It
doesn't
seem
like
that
long
ago.
Does
it
yeah
we're
going
to
talk
about
urban
forestry
commission
would
like
to
address
the
the
issue
of
the
trees
in
downtown
black
mountain.
E
Yes,
I've
got
a
a
a
powerless
point
presentation
here
over
the
years,
there's
been
little
if
any
consideration
given
to
the
trees
that
have
been
planted
and
those
that
have
been
established
in
the
downtown
area.
E
E
There's
no
root
aeration
there's
been
no
fertilization
as
far
as
I
I'm
I'm
aware
of
irregular
and
destructive
pruning
surface
scarring
of
the
tree
bases
growth
into
the
awnings
and
power
lines,
and
really
they
show
no
uniformity
of
species.
That
would
create
a
more
consistent
theme
for
downtown
yeah,
well,
that
that
first
slide
back
up
this
one
yeah
that
that's
like
this
is
an
example
of
the
surface
scarring
and
and
like
there's,
there's
more
bark
on
a
toy
poodle
than
this.
E
E
If
there's
weed
eaters
involved
or
a
lot
of
dogs
passing
by
there's,
there's
a
lot
of
problems
that
trees
on
the
ground
like
this
present
now
what
we're
recommending,
while
the
other
slides
too
that's
just
showing
some
of
the
the
puny
trees
that
that
are
planted
and
kind
of
showing
the
trees
that
are,
you
know,
sharing
spaces
with
signs
and
right
close
to
the
road
and
and
growing,
basically
in
toward
the
road.
E
Now,
what
we're
recommending
to
the
town
is
consider
bringing
more
beauty,
functionality
and
uniformity
to
our
town
by
incorporating
sidewalk
planters,
with
trees
native
preferred
that
are
selected
to
withstand
the
pressures
of
growing
and
confined
space
of
the
container
and
everyday
stresses
of
the
town
environment
slides.
Next
now
we're
not
exactly
talking
about
old
forts
planters,
as
we
see
right
here,
we're
hoping
to
do
a
little
bit
better
and.
E
E
The
exteriors
of
these
planters
would
match
the
trash
cans.
If
you
look
at
this
planter
right
here,
for
example,
in
our
trash
cans,
it's
called
a
pebble
dash
or
or
that's
that's
an
old
old
style
term.
For
that
that
type
of.
E
Rock
work
on
the
outside
of
the
trash
can
so
we're
trying
to
match
up,
so
we
don't
have
to
buy
new
trash.
Can
things
here
we're
actually
if
we
go
to
this
route
and
then
we'll
have
a
pretty
good
match
to
that
existing
trash
cans,
not
the
one
beside
it,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
I
think
that's
is
that
recycled,
yeah
yeah,
let's
see
here
the
ex,
let's
see,
and
now
the
other
thing
too,
is
that
what
we
are,
what
are
the?
E
What
are
the
areas
that
we're
considering
for
these
planters,
the
first
areas
along
state
street
at
the
town
square,
and
that
is
already
there
has
already
been
talk
about
using
planters
here,
according
to
john
duet,
with
the
town
square
project,
that's
a
shot
right
there
at
the
bottom
of
her.
Looking
up
with
the
town
square
on
the
right.
These
sidewalks,
we
have
we've
taken
all
the
dimensions
of
these
sidewalks
in
three
feet.
E
We
we
decided
to
go
with
three
foot
wide
planters,
because
the
dimensions
of
the
sidewalks,
the
most
narrow,
are
six
feet.
That
still
gives
us
three
feet
of
space
for
the
ada
requirements
for
wheelchair
accessibility
and
that
kind
of
thing
on
a
public
sidewall.
This
is
the
shot
taken
down.
E
E
That's
not
cherry
street
yeah
with
parallel
parking
and
narrow
sidewalks
does
present
a
little
bit
of
problems,
but
we
would
have
room
to
allow
for
the
ada
standards
and
if
the
planters
were
spayed
or
spaced
right
in
between
where
the
line
is
dividing
the
two
sidewalks
even
at
eight
feet,
it
would
still
allow
enough
for
the
doors
of
any
vehicle
to
open
up
sutton
avenue.
E
Well,
there's
a
possibility
here
that
we
may
not
be
able
to
get
planters
right
here
because
of
the
fact
that
we
got
low
windows
right
here
and
we
do
have
a
lot
of
trees
right
across
the
street.
That's
just
that
it.
There
is
a
possibility.
We
could
do
it
right
there.
The
north
side
of
broadway
has
some
limitations
as
well.
E
Like
that's
right
in
front
of
brandon's,
I
think
right
there,
the
trees
that
are
planted
there,
we've
already
had
to
pull
up
at
least
one
of
them
and
they're
they're,
actually
in
pretty
pretty
bad
shape.
E
This
the
north
side
of
state
street
now
this
is
just
right
across
the
street,
from
where
we
just
look
presents
another
problem
in
the
use
of
there's
a
lot
of
awnings
that
are
out
here,
overhead
power
lines
and
parallel
parking,
as
in
the
case
of
cherry
street
east
side
of
broadway.
Well,
these
awnings
there's
a
good
shot
right
there,
just
to
the
power
lines
and
the
awning
situations,
but
there
are
ways
and
I'm
not
going
to
devil
into
those
too
much
right
now.
E
Everything
any
space
could
work
in
order
to
use
the
planter
so,
but
there,
with
the
proper
care
and
selection
of
a
few
uniform
species
and
we're
looking
at
uniform
species
and
and
trying
to
put
this
whole
thing
together
and
just
using
two
or
three
species
of
trees:
downtown
and
not
a
whole
wide
array
of
mismatched
type
of
trees
and
with
prop
pro
with
the
regular
maintenance
of
their
growth
and
downtown
area.
I
think
could
be
greatly
enhanced
aesthetically
with
the
introduction
of
new
trees
in
the
downtown
area.
E
So
that's
that's!
That's
it
in
a
nutshell.
Now,
I'm
sure
you
have
a
question
or
two
about
it.
The
next
slide,
as
we'll
just
show
real,
quick.
It's
it's
jamie
did
this
for
me,
but
I
understand
it,
but
it's
it's
the
difference
widths
of
sidewalks
and
we
have
all
kinds
of
different
widths,
downtown
and-
and
we
have
the
I
would
talk
briefly
about
the
existing
trees
on
the
next
slide.
E
These
trees
to
the
east
on
a
going
up
toward
the
top
of
state
street
going
east
they're
they're,
big,
they're,
healthy
or
as
healthy
as
they
can
be,
and
the
ones
down
the
honey,
locust
trees
down
on
broadway
on
the
north
at
the
bottom.
There.
Those
are
good,
healthy
trees.
We
have
a
lot
of
help
that
that
that
that
we
can
get
on
this
entire
project.
E
One
of
the
towns
he
helped
out
just
recently
was
or
was
the
town
of
hendersonville
and,
for
example,
they
put
together
all
these
landscape
species
of
urban
development
trees,
comprehensive
studies
of
different
types
of
trees
that
will
work
really
good
and
very
detailed
kind
of
stuff,
and
I'm
going
to
actually
meet
with
him
anyway
at
the
end
of
the
month.
E
Even
on
our
our,
what
do
you
call
it?
Commission
yeah
we
have.
We
have
a.
We
have
andy
white
he's
a
registered
consulting
artist
and
landscape
designer
with
land
arbor
consulting,
and
we
have
andrew
wagner
he's
a
isa
certified
arborist
with
the
wagner
tree
service.
So
we've
got
some
we've
got
some
we've
got
a
lot
of
people
that
know
what's
going
on
about
these
things,
we're
looking
at
a
cost
here
now
briefly
I'll,
throw
this
at
you,
the
planners,
I
think
we
can.
E
E
That's
up
to
y'all
and-
and
there
are
other
things
we
can
do
as
well
too,
with
the
existing
trees
in
the
ground
we
can,
we
can.
We
can
do
a
better
job
of
putting
drainage
in
and
around
these
trees
to
protect
them,
and
the
maintenance
of
this
is
going
to
be
an
ongoing
thing.
We're
talking
about.
There's,
they
got
to
be
watered,
we're
restricted,
we're
not
getting.
You
know
it
wouldn't
have
been
a
problem.
E
This
summer
we
would
have
been
a
nightmare
more
than
likely
like
it
was
everywhere
else,
but
but
they're
going
to
have
to
be
watered
they're
going
to
have
to
be
pruned,
they're
going
to
have
to
be
mulched
and
annual
plantings
could
be
done
in
them
with
the
beautification
anybody
in
here,
but
there
there
are
other
ways
that
these
things
can
be
used
and
as
well
like
I
said
they
are,
can
be,
relocated
have
to
be,
and
if
the
trees
get
in
trouble
and
they
die
or
they
get
sickly,
we
can
pull
them
out.
E
E
E
Well,
that's
a
good
question.
We're
looking
right
now
about
we'd
like
to
do
we
we
could
go
up
to
six
per
street,
in
other
words,
six
on
broadway,
six
on
cherry
street,
six
on
state
street
and
three
down
at
the
town
park.
I
know
that
john
duett
was
talking
about.
They
really
wanted
some
kind
of
barrier
situation
right
there
between
state
street
and
where
that
starts-
and
this
is
a
what
that
slide
that
came
up.
I
didn't
see
it
come
up
by
power,
pointing
it's
not
that
good!
Is
it
that's
a
that's!
E
That's
an
asheville!
That's
another,
better
way
to
protect
trees
with
that
kind
of
grading
system
over
it.
So
you
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
things.
Now
I
mean
granted.
You're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
coca-colas
and
and
and
trash
and
cigarette
butts
and
these
things,
but
you
know
that's-
that's-
could
be
part
of
the
maintenance
as
well
taking
care
of
that
cokes.
E
I
was.
It
took
me
a
long
time
to
do
what
I
did
right
here,
because
I'm
pretty
hard
right-handed
person,
my
wife's
about
ready
to
kill
me
because
I
I'm
so
right-handed.
I
can't
even
pull
my
wallet
out
with
my
left
hand,
she's
really
tired
of
that
excuse,
but
she's
looking
but
yeah
I've
it's
been
a
kind
of
a
slow
process,
but
all
that
could
be
looked
into
for
sure.
I
don't
know.
A
Okay:
next
we
have
the
young.
Ladies
from
the
owen,
ffa
chapter
reporting
on
some
new
barn
plants.
A
Their
advisor
is
miss
fisher
and
we
have
tipton
mrs
tipton.
If
you'll
raise
your
hands
of
the
audience,
recognize
you
and
then
dora
or
chark,
and
then
miss
spillers.
I
J
He
was
my
baby,
he
trained
very
well,
but
he
was
also
stubborn,
but
when
you're
in
that
arena,
when
you
know
you
can
make
that
sheep
do
what
you
want
to,
even
if
it
doesn't
want
to,
but
you
can
still
try
to
make
it.
It
gives
you
a
great
feeling
of
responsibility
and
taking
care
of
it
has
given
me
a
lot
of
responsibility,
because
the
only
thing
I've
ever
taken
care
of
before
was
a
dog
that
was
it
so
this
experience
has
boosted
my
self-esteem
and
has
given
me
lots
of
responsibility.
K
K
It's
such
a
hands-on
activity
and
as
being
in
one
of
mrs
fisher's
animal
science
classes
just
being
able
to
take
care
of
the
animal,
and
you
know,
learn
the
anatomy
and
how
the
animal
you
know
how
the
things
that
we
do
with
the
environment
and
how
we
help
them.
It
affects
their
life
and
just
being
able
to
like
experience
that
hands-on
and
have
that
and
take
it
into
the
classroom
and
being
able
to
know
what
is
actually
going
on
and
being
able
to
see
it.
K
It's
helped
me
so
much
and
it's
just
an
amazing
learning
experience
that
I
want
a
lot
of
students
at
owen
to
have,
but
with
our
facilities
right
now
we
don't
have
that
we
don't
have
the
area
or
the
resources
to
do
it
right
now
and
that's
something
that
I'm
very
passionate
about
as
I
want
to
go
into
the
vet
science
area
and
be
a
vet
and
as
we
all
are
passionate
about,
and
that's
why
we're
here
tonight.
So
you
know,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
like
our
different
things
you
can
see
down.
K
It
was
just
we
went
to
the
fair,
it's
a
lot
of
fun,
just
getting
the
show
and
everything
we
have
different
pictures
here.
Here's
our
barn
plan
that
you
can
see.
I
I
K
But,
as
I
said,
it's
just
an
amazing
learning
experience
that
we're
trying
to
open
up
to
other
people
at
our
school.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
do
it
and
we
had
the
opportunity
to
grow
as
individuals
and
learn
these
different
tasks
and
how
amazing
that
was
for
us
and
I'm
sure
that
you
all
have
questions
for
us.
So
I
will
actually
turn
it
over
to
my
advisor
now
and
we'll
answer
your
questions
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
L
Just
real,
quick,
the
barn
project
is
something
that
the
ag
department
is
trying
to
build
to
enhance
our
facilities.
We've
got
myself
mr
pace
hour,
he's
an
excellent
ag
teacher
and
my
mentor
teacher,
and
he
has
a
greenhouse
and
his
horticulture
program
is
amazing.
I
mean
we
win
at
contests
all
the
time
we
go
to
state
all
the
time
with
his
horticulture
programs
and
me
coming
in
as
a
new
teacher
teachers.
My
third
year
at
owen,
high
school.
L
My
background
is
animal
science
and
that's
kind
of
where
we've
we've
lacked
a
little
bit.
So
that's
basically
why
we
want
this
barn
project.
Why
we'd
like
to
get
the
facilities
there
so
that
we
can
enhance
the
learning
that
the
students
are
getting
in
the
classroom
by
getting
the
hands-on
experience,
because
there's
really
no
better
way
to
learn
about
the
animals
to
understand
industry
than
to
actually
be
out
there
doing
it,
and
this
would
give
them
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
L
We
are
trying
to
raise
a
total
of
twenty
thousand
dollars.
We
are
almost
halfway.
We've
had
some
very
generous
donations
and
we
are
still
working,
I'm
working
on
some
grants
with
the
lady
at
the
county
office
and
there's
some
grants
that
are
coming
through
that
I
have
to
apply
for
as
far
as
the
state
ffa,
but
we're
still
we're
so
long
away
from
our
goal,
but
we
are
getting
there.
The
t-shirts
have
helped
a
lot
and
we
got
a
couple
other
things
in
the
works
and
we'll
see
how
those
go.
F
So
where
would
one
get
those
if
they
want
to
buy
a
t-shirt?
Where
do
they
go
to
get
it.
L
We
have,
I
have
two
with
me
today,
which
I
don't
know
that
are
the
biggest.
I
don't
have
a,
I
think,
they're
both
small,
because
they
were
just
the
first
ones
on
the
top,
but
we
can
definitely
anytime
stop
by
the
school
grab.
One
pick
one
up,
yes,
sir,
we'll
be
happy
to
get
you
one.
Otherwise,
any
of
the
events
that
we've
done,
we've
done
a
couple
bake
sales.
L
L
A
Well
excellent
appreciate
you
coming
in,
especially
the
biggest
thing
is
to
be
able
to
tell
the
community
what
you're
doing
that's
good,
keep
us
informed
about
how
how
it
goes,
and
will
this
be
like
an
amish
barn
raising?
Would
it
just
be
a
big
event,
one
day
to
where,
hopefully,
over
a
weekend,
it
can.
A
I
think
I
think
that
would
be
good
and
if,
in
fact
that's
the
way
that
you're
going
to
approach
it,
I
mean
I
know
you've
got
to
get
your
foundation
in
and
get
all
that.
But
then,
when
the
structure
actually
goes
up,
it'd
be
good
for
you
to
be
able
to
come
back
and
announce
on
the
tv
here
that
this
is
going
to
be
and
then
invite
the
community
to
come
out
very
good
thanks
for
coming.
A
A
Okay,
next
is
social
justice
building
by
fellow.
O
O
O
O
What
do
you
know?
That's
the
golden
rule.
Does
anybody
have
any
other
good
definitions
for
social
justice?
Oh
come
on
now.
O
O
B
O
B
I
O
O
Well,
I
might
suggest
it's
maybe
right
down
there
in
the
bottom
neighborliness.
Maybe
that
says
it
all
and
maybe
like
when
I
was
looking
for
a
definition
of
social
justice.
Maybe
maybe
the
golden
rule
says
says
it
all
and
it's
a
nice
simple
way
to
understand
it
and
we
probably
shouldn't
get
complicated
with
definitions.
O
Good
access
to
transportation,
good
access
to
to
medical
care,
good
access
to
an
infrastructure
that
really
serves
the
people.
O
Our
president
has
been
talking
about
inequality.
I
think
the
sense
of
equality
has
to
come
in
the
hearts
and
souls
of
each
and
one
each
and
every
one
of
us.
We
have
to
see
each
individual,
no
matter
what
their
status
in
life
as
being
a
dignified.
O
Person
that
will
help
to
avoid
the
inequality,
in
other
words,
it
shouldn't
matter
I'll.
Give
you
a
good
example.
Somebody
shouldn't
judge
me
because
I
drive
a
mercedes.
It
happens
to
be
the
oldest
car
in
the
park
and
latin
costs,
the
least,
but
some
people
want
to
put
me
in
the
rich
class.
Well,
believe
me,
I'm
in
poverty,
and
I
still
have
my
dignity
in
my
status
and
my
old
italian
jackets
and
so
on.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
I
looked
at
crosswalks
in
this
town
state
street
going
west,
there's
no
yield
sign
going
west,
so
somebody
did
get
run
over
in
that
crosswalk
runs
I'm
advocating
as
a
number
one
action
to
to
get
this
social
justice
initiative
off
the
ground
that
we
take
a
careful
look
at
all
of
our
crosswalks
and
make
them
safe
and
sound,
and
that
we
do
that
immediately.
It's
a
low-cost
thing
for
the
price
of
a
planter.
We
can
probably
do
do
20
crosswalks
right,
so
nobody
can
say
we
don't
have
money
money
to
do
the
crosswalks
right.
O
A
O
A
A
All
right
next
here,
john
dewitt
recreation,
commission
annual
report.
P
Thank
you
all
for
allowing
us
to
do
the
presentation,
I'll
be
real
short,
because
we
update
you
monthly
on
our
activities.
So
this
kind
of
highlights,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
recognize
our
committee.
Our
commission
members
do
an
outstanding
job.
We
meet
once
a
month
next
slide
in
terms
of
some
of
the
accomplishments
in
the
community
naming
the
flat
creek
greenway
for
emily
russell.
P
We
have
the
formation
of
the
black
mountain
swim
league.
We've
had
a
total
of
over
93
000
public
interactions
through
the
recreation
department
through
parks
through
concerts,
the
swimming
pool
we've
had
a
very
successful
season
at
the
swimming
pool,
in
spite
of
the
bad
weather,
and
I
think
all
of
you
are
well
up
to
date
on
the
great
work
deanna's
doing
at
the
senior
center
you
got
should
have
had
a
brochure
in
your
newspaper
last
week.
P
It's
just
unbelievable
all
the
things
that
she's
been
able
to
accomplish
there
and
the
recreation
commission
right
now
is
working
on
sort
of
a
recommendation
to
you
all
in
a
signed
policy.
So
we
have
consistency
in
our
parts
on
signs
in
terms
of
the
parks
itself,
we've
had
input
into
the
town-wide
comprehensive
plan
that
you're
going
to
discuss.
P
P
P
The
rotary
fountain
is
under
contract
to
design
it.
So
we're
we'll
be
heading
that
up
headley
garden.
We
will
have
that
wrought
iron
fence
in
as
soon
as
the
weather
gets
a
little
better.
Hopefully,
next
week,
ironworks
has
built
a
beautiful
wrought
iron
fence
that
will
go
the
full
length
of
the
hedley
garden
along
there
to
avoid
people
from
walking
across
the
garden
and
taking
their
dogs
across
the
garden.
So
there's
a
beautiful
design,
you'll
you'll
love
it.
P
We
have
opportunity
for
people
to
have
a
tree
with
a
plaque
on
it.
It's
on
our
website.
If
you
want
to
buy
a
plaque
instead
of
a
bench
or
a
table,
you
can
buy
your
name
dedication
memorial
ashes.
I
don't
care
you
put
anything
on
there,
we'll
put
a
plaque
on
it.
It's
2500
to
get
a
tree
plaque
planter
named
after
you,
so
they'll,
hopefully
we'll
defray
all
the
costs
on
that
next
slide.
P
B
P
Been
very
successful,
as
you
know,
the
town
square
fundraising
is
under
the
foundation,
but
we
also
do
the
tennis,
the
beautification
committee,
the
green
waste
commission,
the
friends
of
lake
tomahawk,
the
health
initiative,
the
town
square
committee
and
the
playground
committee
all
have
funds
that
are
designated
in
that
and
have
well
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
that
account
which
supports
the
town's
activities
last.
None
of
this
could
be
possible
without
the
great
great
staff.
I
just
cannot
say
the
night
best
about
casey
and
his
staff,
jamie
and
his
staff
and
the
park
staff.
P
A
Q
Okay,
so
this
will
be
our
semi-annual
report.
Q
All
numbers
will
be
as
of
december
31st
of
2013.,
so,
starting
with
our
permits,
we
are
definitely
up
in
the
number
of
permits
that
we
issued
all
the
way
back
from
2008
which,
as
you
know
around
november
2008
is
when
the
housing
bubble
burst,
so
that
that
number
is
picking
up
quite
steadily
and
we
were
actually
busier
through
our
holiday
season
than
we
anticipated
as
well.
Q
We're
still
kind
of
in
line
with
our
single
family
permits
those
are
picking
up,
though
we
had
an
eight
unit
subdivision
come
in
in
december,
and
we
do
have
some
pending
permits
for
the
settings,
so
those
are
picking
up.
However
commercial.
We
still
are
at
this
point,
doing
nothing
on
both
building
inspections
that
definitely
picked
up
this
past
six
months
and
some
of
the
zoning
inspections
picked
up
a
little
bit
not
as
much
as
in
the
previous
years,
but
definitely
up
from
2012.
Q
653.78
total:
that's
all
fees,
electrical
mechanical
plumbing
construction,
just
for
the
single
family
permits
we
collected
and
fifty
53
dollars
and
ninety
eight
cents
again,
nothing
for
commercial.
Q
Q
Q
Going
to
this
will
be
zoning
complaints
and
violations
we're
about
on
track
for
both
well
for
complaints
violations.
We
did
did
issue
a
little
bit
more
than
last
year,
mainly
due
to
the
bears
and
trash
during
the
summer
that
that
was
the
majority
of
both
complaints
and
violations.
Q
For
the
past
six
months,
we
issued
151
new
business
licenses,
so
that
is
up.
However,
fees
were
slightly
down
for
that.
Most
of
those
were
going
to
be
your
contractors
and
those
don't
bring
in
a
whole
lot
of
fees,
but
we
did
get
32
new
businesses
just
in
the
last
six
months
and
for
our
staff
happenings.
We
have
completed
our
clg
report
for
our
historic
district.
Q
A
Just
a
couple
of
comments
there
that
sounded
very
encouraging
when
you
were
speaking
about
the
complaints
and
the
violations
and
then
the
fees
they
assumed
that
the
bears
were
the
primary
complaint
driven.
They.
Q
They
weren't,
you
know,
and-
and
I
made
I
made
several
jokes
about
it
throughout
the
summer
I
was
gonna,
find
the
bears
and
you
know
give
them
a
talking
to,
but
yeah
that
was
the
majority
of
the
complaint
they
were.
They
were
definitely
worse
this
year
than
any
year.
I've
seen
so.
A
We're
going
to
be
needing
to
look
at
don
knows
more
about
it
now,
but
about
the
state.
Wildlife
has
gone
ahead
and
put
in
some
some
recommendations
to
change
some
of
the
ordinances
and
laws
about
about
bears
so,
but
if
that
doesn't
help
our
situation,
we're
gonna
have
to
move
to
doing
something.
Right
I
mean
you
know.
Just
the
idea
of
having
cute
bears
running
around
is
just
is
just
not
not
gonna
get
it.
A
Also
too,
I
wanted
just
to
make
sure
for
the
public
who
got
seven
million
dollars
in
new
construction.
What
that
means
to
our
budget
is
roughly
in
the
neighborhood
of
about
thirty
thousand
dollars.
That'd
be
about
right
when
it
deemed
something
somewhere
in
that
in
that,
in
that
ranges,
is
that
so
that
you
know,
even
though
that
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money
to
seven
million
dollars.
A
A
A
Okay
on
the
consent
agenda.
R
Matt,
yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
You've
got
the
adoption
of
minutes
from
your
agenda
workshop
on
december,
the
5th
in
your
regular
session
on
december,
the
9th
you
have
a
budget
amendment
for
an
insurance
settlement
for
a
damaged
radio
in
the
amount
of
560
dollars.
You've
got
a
budget
amendment
that
increases
an
expense
account
for
contract
services
and
reduces
the
account
for
salaries
by
seventeen
thousand
dollars.
We've
used
some
temporary
labor
instead
of
hiring
full-time
people,
and
that's
that's
the
adjustment
that
we
made
there.
R
You've
got
an
appointment
of
freddie
robinson
to
serve
as
the
board
of
alderman's
appointment
until
january
2016
for
the
black
mountain,
fireman's,
local
relief
fund
and
finally,
on
the
consent
agenda.
You
have
a
recommendation
to
name
a
new
playground
at
the
carver
community
center
in
honor
of
liv
harper.
This
is
this
comes
about.
R
We
applied
for
a
grant
from
a
company
called
or
a
grant
called
kaboom
that
funds
playground
equipment.
We
received
that
grant
in
the
amount
of
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
there's
some
additional
fundraising
that
will
occur
privately.
When
that
is
done,
then
the
playground
will
be
installed
there,
and
this
is
the
first
step
of
that
is
to
to,
and
the
recreation
commission
supported
this
this
idea
to
name
this,
the
lib
harper
to
to
to
honor
lib
harper
with
this
playground
equipment.
R
It
of
course,
would
not
be
installed
until
all
the
money
was
those
was
raised
and
the
differences
is
raised
on
on
a
private
level,
but
but
but
we
do
have
the
grand
amount
in
15
000,
and
so
this
would
start
that
off
when
that's
when
that
is
installed,
then
in
in
the
future,
we
will
of
course,
have
a
ceremony
and
a
dedication
for
for
that
piece
of
equipment.
A
H
I
have
one
correction:
on
the
minutes
december
9th
and
under
citizen
comments
for
elaine.
H
A
A
Okay,
seeing
no
one
new
business
that
we
have
to
fill
the
vacancy
that
has
been
because
of
larry
harris
resigning
from
the
abc
board.
We
have
received
two
applications
on
this
and
one
from
rick
harwood
and
one
from
leslie
carrera.
A
I
think
probably
the
best
way
to
go
about
this
unless
anyone
objects
is
just
simply
just
to
do
it
in
the
order
in
which
they
were
at
the
time
time
wise
rick
went
ahead
and
applied
first,
even
though
leslie
got
her
her
application
in
by
the
four
o'clock
deadline
we'll
go
ahead
and
and
if
that's
all
over
the
all
I'll
put
to
the
name
and
if
someone
wants
to
nominate
well,
the
name
of
rick
hardwood
is
on
the
floor.
Then.
So
then,
whoever
want
to
vote
for
favor.
A
R
In
addition,
mr
mayor,
they-
and
we
put
this
all
as
one
item,
but
you,
but
you
you
would
then
need
to
appoint
a
chair
since
you
filled
the
vacancies
for
the
position
to
appoint
a
chair
of
the
three
sitting.
Members.
A
Any
other
nominations
all
right.
All
in
favor.
M
A
B
R
T
Good
evening,
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
quick
rundown
here.
Does
everyone
have
this
table?
T
T
Another
change
here
that
the
plane
board
wanted
to
do
was
for
all
of
the
uses
here
in
the
office
institutional
zone
to
be
allowed
as
conditional
uses.
T
That
includes
these
micro
establishments
as
well
as
brew,
pubs
and
bars,
which
you
see
here
are
changed
from
permitted
by
right
to
conditional,
and
there
was
one
small
change
here
since
the
planning
board
met
in
october,
the
maximum
annual
reduction
was
set
in
common
units
and
at
a
common
threshold
of
100,
000
gallons
and
that's
relatively
low.
T
There's
a
lot
of
precedent
for
breweries
in
terms
of
the
production
limit
to
distinguish
between
a
micro
and
regular,
but
not
so
much
for
distilleries
and
cideries,
but
100
000
gallons
is
kind
of
low,
it's
equivalent
to
3
3175
barrels
and
a
micro
brewery.
The
cutoff
can
be
anywhere
between
5
000
and
15
000
barrels
based
on
other
zoning
codes
that
were
reviewed
to
develop
this
tax
amended
amendment.
S
S
I'm
certainly
glad
that
it's
going
to
be
addressed
in
our
land
use
code
and
in
our
comprehensive
plan
as
well.
I
just
had
a
question
as
to
the
categories
and
the
districts
where
you
have
it
permitted
by
right
and
in
particular
the
office
institutional,
where
you've
got
the
restaurant
brew,
pub
and
tavern
and
bar
as
conditional
uses
and
then
also
in
the
highway
business.
T
Well,
if
you're
talking
about
the
the
larger
facilities
right
well,
we
wanted
those
to
be
judged
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
because
really,
the
big
thing
you
might
be
worried
about
here
is
truck
traffic
and
100
000
gallons
per
year
is
pretty
low.
I
don't
think
you
need
to
worry
about
that,
but
it
could
be
that
someone
wants
to
open
up
the
facility
with
the
30
000
barrels,
annual
production
and
based
on
where
that
is
in
some
of
these
districts.
T
T
Wasn't
able
to
find
piscas,
but
I
did
I
did
look
at
some
other
ones.
Highland
brewing
was,
I
think
they
were
planned
for
30,
000
and
barrels
annually
and
they're.
I
believe,
the
largest
in
the
region,
although
not
anymore,
so
sierra
nevada,
800,
000,
eventually
new
belgium,
500
000
barrels
and
that's
a
lot.
That's
a
lot
of
gallons,
so
100,
000
gallons,
is
only
a
little
over
3
000
barrels,
but
I
think
pisca
is
probably
going
to
be
underneath
highland.
So
I'm
I'm
guessing
they're
under
30
000
barrels
annually.
M
A
All
right,
unless
there's
no
more
questions
in,
thank
you
brian
need
to
get
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing.
M
Time
we
have
a
conditional
use,
and
we're
might
even
help
wagner
was
on
your
board
of
adjustments,
which
here's
conditional
use
permits
applications.
He
said,
don't
give
me
conditional
use
unless
you
tell
me
what
the
conditions
are
and
you've
got
the
general
conditions
for
conditional
use,
but
your
planner
was
referring
to
possible.
You
know
stress
on
highway
systems,
road
systems,
overloaded
traffic
and
that
just
brought
to
mind.
Are
there
any
specific
conditions
that
you
want
to
place
on
that
these
conditional
uses
have
to
meet
in
addition
to
the
general
conditional
use
permit?
I
N
A
Larry
any
comments
all
in
favor
proposed
all
right.
It
passes.
H
That's
a
question:
I
don't
know
if
it
pertains
to
this
or
not,
but
the
spirits
that
are
produced
at
these
places
is
it
already
taxed
in
black
mountain.
R
They'll,
of
course,
any
of
this
would
be
regulated
from
from
at
the
state
level
from
abc,
so
they
would
all
those
would
be
regulated
in
that
regard,
and
then
they
would.
There
would
be
through
that
process.
There
would
be
some
benefit
benefit
to
us,
but
I
think
only
from
the
only
from
the
retail
sale
side
of
it
not
from
the
distribution
side
of
it
but
it'll
be
it
would
be
clearly
regulated
at
the
state
level.
A
A
So
we
need
to
get
a
motion
opening
a
hearing
for
rezoning,
a
portion
of
old
lakey
gap,
road
I'll
make
that
motion.
Okay
fall
in
favor,
all
right
jennifer!
Can
you
please
come
up
and
lead
us
through
this.
Q
Thank
you
so
before
you
tonight
is
a
proposal
for
rezoning
a
portion
of
it's
actually
just
one
parcel
of
old
lakey
gap,
and
it
doesn't
have
an
address
so
that
that
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
difficult.
Q
But
in
your
map
you
do
have
a
kind
of
a
small
map,
but
it's
a
lot
right
behind
the
fitness
center
off
of
jane
jacobs,
road.
So
again,
psych
dragon
is
the
one
that
is
asking
for
this
rezoning.
As
you
know,
mr
reagan
is
the
developer
of
the
village
of
cheshire.
Q
Q
Just
to
let
you
know
also
at
your
stations
is
the
actual
deed
document,
and
there
are
some
need
restrictions
that
were
placed
on
the
property
from
the
georgia
honeycutt
estate
regarding
any
type
of
construction.
B
Q
Those,
let's
see
construction
shall
be
limited
to
a
maximum
height
of
30
feet
from
the
ground
level.
Elevation
of
the
pavement.
No
construction
shall
be
closer
than
40
feet.
From
the
margin
of
the
pavement
of
old
lakey
gap,
no
apartment
shall
be
constructed
and
no
more
than
10
units
per
acre
shall
be
constructed.
Q
Mr
reagan
is
aware
of
these
restrictions,
and
is,
you
know,
will
comply
with
those,
and
these
will
also
be
double
checked
if
he
comes
in
for
any
building
permits
when
and
if
he
comes
in,
for
any
building
permit.
So
before
anything's
ever
constructed,
we'll
make
sure
all
that's
applied
for
all
property
owners
within
200
feet
did
receive
their
notice.
Q
We
did
have
a
couple
of
phone
calls
just
regarding
what
use
that
property
would
become,
and
I
believe
that's
been
about
it
and
I'm
not
sure
if
jesse
gardner
wants
to
add
anything
to
this,
but
I
know
he's
been
working
with
mr
reagan
as
well.
So
all
right.
U
U
I
you
know
the
master
plan
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
done
back
in,
I
think
1998
and
we
had
planned
or
the
land
planner
at
that
time
had
planned
this
parcel,
though
sykes
didn't
actually
own
it,
and
I
think,
when
the
town
actually
went
through
our
rezone
process
five
or
six
years
ago,
that
it
didn't
hit
anybody's
sykes
didn't
catch
it,
but
that
when
we
went
through
the
whole
towns
process,
it
probably
should
have
just
went
ahead
and
got
tossed
into
tnd,
since
we
have
a
proof
master
plan
for
it.
U
F
A
U
Yeah
three
stories
doesn't
scare
me.
I
think
he
we're
sticking
with
probably
some
type
of
pocket,
development
or
cottage
development
is
the
idea
in
this
area.
So
I
don't
see
anything
great
being.
A
Believe
it
in
the
most
dense
of
just
looking
at
the
at
the
master
plan
here
you
know
the
most
dense
part
of
this
particular
development
of
the
cheshire.
A
B
U
Yeah,
that's
some
of
the
it
is
pretty
dense,
but
I
think
it's
a
right
at
about
10
units.
An
acre
is
the
most
dense
and
so
yeah.
I
think
we'll.
A
R
R
I
I
would
point
out
that
you
had
requested
at
the
agenda
session
a
marked
up
version
of
the
of
of
the
plan
that
kind
of
shows
what's
new,
what's
existing
or
what's
a
carryover
from
the
from
the
existing
comprehensive
plan
and
what
what
may
be
new
brian
has
has
gotten
that
done
and
that
should
be
in
at
your
seat,
but
I'd
be
glad
to
have
brian
come
up
and
answer
specific
questions.
R
If
I
recall
from
the
presentation
that
we
had
done
in
the
fall
one
of
the
issues
at
that
time,
at
least
from
the
public
comments
at
that
time
involved
the
minimum
housing
code,
the
section
of
the
comprehensive
plan
that
addresses
that
basically
says
that
the
town
of
black
mountain
will
enhance
and
enforce
their
existing
minimum
housing
code.
We
have.
I
know
the
housing
commission
has
made
a
recommendation
to
the
planning
board.
That's
been
reviewed
from
from
the
legal
side
of
that,
and-
and
we
feel
like
that,
that
language
is
in
compliance.
R
It's
still
coming
through
the
process,
of
course,
and
ultimately
any
changes.
Any
changes
that
that
would
occur
would
have
to
come
to
the
to
the
board
of
aldermen.
I
think
that
was
the
issue
at
that
time.
You
know,
so
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
you
you're
aware
that
that
is
that
is
being
addressed.
R
And
if
I
could
just
say
one
thing,
because
I
know
that
that
I'm
not
sure
that
that
alderman
stone
was
here
when
it
was
done,
and
I
know
that
alderman
harris
was
not
on
the
board
at
that
time.
You
know
the
comprehensive
plan
is,
is
as
a
broad
policy
document
that
that
we
will
then
use
to
guide
us
as
we
as
we
move
forward.
When
you
make
decisions
for
the
upcoming
budgets
exist,
decisions
about
priorities
or
what
you
want
to
fund
and
what
you
want
to
accomplish
as
a
board.
R
You
have
a
lot
of
leeway
within
the
comprehensive
plan
for
for,
for,
for
you
all
to
then
to
prioritize
and
to
attach
the
funding
that
would
be
required
for
some
of
the
priorities.
For
example,
you
know:
we've
set
aside
money
in
capital
reserve
funds
for
greenways
for
improvements
to
public
buildings
to
the
improvements
at
lake
tomahawk.
Those
sorts
of
things
are
also
are
were
high
priorities
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
R
So
I
do
want
to
make
it
clear
what
the
what
the
role
of
the
comprehensive
plan
is,
as
as
we
move
forward
that
it's
that
it's
an
umbrella
of
the
vision
that
we
have,
that
you
all
have
for
the
for
the
future
of
black
mountain
and
then,
obviously,
as
we
move
forward
budgetary
decisions,
capital
improvement
decisions,
those
sorts
of
things
are
are
pieces
that
they
make
up
this
plan.
N
A
So
yeah
one
of
the
questions
I
had
brian
was
dealing
in
the
housing
yeah.
You
could
come
up.
A
A
To
put
this
thing
together
so
and
it
needs
to
be
updated
and
that's
what
brian
spring
brian's
doing
speaking
of
updating
here,
we've
got
goals
in
here
and
they
and
they
all
sound
good,
especially
about
affordable
housing,
except
that
I
don't
see
anything
in
here
that
addresses
the
only
real.
What
I
feel
is
the
only
real,
affordable
housing
and
that's
manufactured
housing.
A
Was
that
discussed?
I
see
that
it's
not
that
it's
not
listed
in
here
as
as
a
goal
as
as
how
to
treat
it
or
how
to
encourage
it.
T
I
think
you
need
to
include
it,
but-
and
it
is
something
that's
emphasizing
some
plans
as
part
of
their
of
their
affordable
housing
strategy
and
it's
nowhere
in
here
in
these
action
items,
but
I
think
it
might
be
in
the
consortium's
plan,
which
is
basically
what
guides.
Many
of
these
municipalities
is
the
regional
consortium
for
housing.
T
There
are
some
strategies
within
there
that
are
appropriate
for
municipalities
and,
I
believe,
there's
one
action
item
that
says
implement
here.
It
is
h112
implements
selected
actions
recommended
for
jurisdictions
and
the
consolidated
strategic
housing
and
community
development
plan.
I
believe
there
are
some
proposed
strategies
in
there
related
to
manufactured
housing,
yeah.
A
A
T
Well,
this
the
storm
rather
like
to
distinguish
there
were
two
highest
priority
action
items
here.
One
was
with
the
construction
of
a
new
downtown
stormwater
system,
which
relates
to
the
drainage
of
the
stormwater,
which
is
in
the
utilities
section
and
was
also
one
related
to
stormwater
best
management
practices,
which
relates
to
water
quality,
making
sure
that
the
water
that
gets
into
the
swananoa
is
not
filled
with
pollutants.
This
one,
I
know,
is
categorized
as
the
impaired
stream,
so
those
were
two
new
highest
priority
action
items.
T
T
They
have
a
proposed
system
and
they
divided
it
in
two
into
an
east
basin
and
a
west
basin
right
now,
there's
just
one
large
storm
water
system
for
downtown,
and
it
hits
that
large
barrier
where
the
train
tracks
are
and
about
90
of
it
goes
into
that
engineered
channel.
Next
to
the
railroad,
which
is
in
very
poor
condition,
based
in
the
mcgill
report
and
also
in
a
initial
walking
tour
that
we
did
with
bob
bob
watts
back
in
march
or
april
and
they're
proposing
to
divide
that
in
half.
T
So
you
can
keep
the
pipes,
keep
the
pipes
from
getting
too
large
in
size
and
just
to
divert
more
down.
I
believe
it's
black
mountain
avenue
and
spit
it
out
into
the
swan.
I
know
a
further
west
and
these
are
old
estimates,
but
the
west
basin
was
forty
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
the
east
basin
was
more
like
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
those
are
just
preliminary
estimates
in
mcgill's
2009
report.
R
Yes,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
we
should
have
a
quote:
msd
had
offered
to
do
some
of
that,
for
us,
they've
just
become
busy
doing
that,
and
so
jamie
matthews
is
getting
together
a
quote
to
get
that
done
at
the
end
of
this
week.
So
to
get
the
quote
together
by
this
week
of
what
there's
going
to
be
some
cost
to
us
to
do
that,
to
to
camera
those
lines
and
have
a
and
have
a
comprehensive
view
of
what
of
this
of
the
existing
system.
That's
in
the
ground
now
and.
R
It
depended
on
I,
I
frankly
don't
know
yet
what
that
what
that
cost
will
be.
So
when
that
comes
back,
if
it's
something
reasonable
that
we
can
work
into
this
year's
budget,
then
we
will
do
that
if
it's
something
a
little
more
expensive,
we'll
have
to
work
that
through
the
budget
process
and
do
that
then,
as
we
as
we
move
forward.
So.
R
If
you
want
to
see
what's
in
the
ground,
then
I
think
I
think
you're
looking
at
summertime
before
that
before
that
could
happen.
R
Yeah
what
they,
what
they
did
with
the
with
the
with
the
section
that
we
that
we
first
did
from
when
they
had
the
the
sinkhole
right
there
at
number
nine
and
sutton.
R
We
came
up
there
and
they
have.
What
you
end
up
with
is
a
dvd
that
you
then
watch
and
then
you
can
put
it
on
the
screen
and
you
can
kind
of
see
what
what
kind
of
what
the
condition
is
under
the
ground.
R
A
When
we
get
over
here,
brian
into
the
strategic,
the
like
that,
like
the
town,
strategic
energy
plan,.
A
R
T
Strategic
energy
plan-
I
don't
know
how
many
action
items
in
there
been
carried
out
since
then.
I
believe
that
was
adopted
in
2009,
but
it
was
sort
of
seen
as
a
way
to
update
those
things
with
the
eye
on
energy
and
also
on
water
conservation,
which
was
very
important
to
I
think
yeah.
If
you
could
get.
I.
A
We
can
bring
to
the
board
for
budget
right,
as
we
begin
just
to
just
to
talk
about
that.
We've
already
talked
about
recycling
and
the
fact
that,
hopefully,
we
can
go
ahead
and
try
to
if
we
end
up
fortunate
enough
to
get
that
land
down
near
the
the
ballpark
and
the
black
mountain.
A
Maybe
do
something
on
that.
Philippa
says
he
did
mention
this
thing
about
the
sidewalks.
I
noticed
that
that
in
the
action
items
on
the
sidewalk
network
goals
actions
they
address
what
mr
says
he
was
talking
about
the
crosswalks
intersections
and,
of
course,
then
does
talk
about
trying
to
get
some
new
some
new
sidewalks
going.
R
We've
finished
the
the
most
the
phase.
We
just
completed
the
phase
that
go
that
most
recently
to
to
cotton
and
I
believe,
we're
doing
we're
in
the
design
phase
for
the
next.
The
next
step
of
that
which
goes
to
east
avenue,
is
that
correct
jessie.
A
Okay,
because
we've
got
because
again,
if
the
board
passes
this
comprehensive
plan,
as
amended
by
the
planning
planning
board,
these
things
have
these
priorities
on
them
and
that
is
of
highest
priority
and
then
another
highest
priority
is
to
implement
other
priority
sidewalks
and
so
that,
if
you
could
present
that
to
the
board
so
that
they,
when
they
begin
to
budget
in
the
spring
right.
R
I
think
I'll
be
honest
with
you
and
we
will.
We
will
be
glad
to
present
that
I
think
that
most
of
your
most
of
your
resources
currently
are
going
towards
extending
the
sidewalk
down
montreal
road
that,
I
think,
was
ranked
as
one
of
the
higher
priorities
and
that's
and
that's
where
that's
where
our
resources
so
far
have
been
budgeted.
We
obviously
we
had
a
safe
route
to
school,
grant
that
that
completed
some
across
the
street
from
elementary
school,
but
in
terms
of
out
of
our
pal
bill
funds.
R
A
Moving
forward,
then
we're
talking
about
working
with
greenways,
to
you
know,
finish
the
riverwalk
phase,
two
trail
and
just
a
quick
update
on
where
we
are.
R
I
was
actually
on
my
update,
so
we
you
wanna,
wait.
No,
I
mean.
R
The
end,
so
baker
engineering
is
doing
our
is
doing
a
hydrology
study.
R
We've
got
the
the
parameters
in
place
for
that
and
they'll
be
starting,
probably
this
week
or
next
week,
kind
of,
depending
on
the
on
the
weather,
with
doing
the
hydrology
study
under
70,
under
the
rail
trestle
and
under
highway
9
of
the
of
what
amounts
to
a
study
to
make
sure
that
our
greenway
doesn't
impact
the
the
river
and
those
crossings
there
and,
and
that
way
we
can
then
go
to
d.o.t
in
norfolk
southern
explained
and
hopefully
get
a
a
permit
to
to
do
that.
That
is
the
the
preferred
route.
R
I
believe
that
the
the
greenway
commission
has
advocated
for
is
to
go
under
those
under
those
three
and
so
we're
looking
at
some
alternatives
too
in
case
that
is
not
feasible,
but
that
but
but
we're
starting
that
process
now
and
you're,
probably
looking
at
60
days
to
have
that
completed.
A
Even
though
it's
listed
here
as
a
highest
priority
item,
we've
got
here,
work
with
d.o.t
ncdot
to
explore
strategies
that
address
the
traffic
flow
at
the
intersection
of
montreal
red
state
street
and
including
the
monetary
road
realignment
and
alternatives
such
as
signal
timing.
So
I'm
assuming
then,
that
this
that
what
this
means
is
not
so
much
the
realignment
of
the
road
as
it
is
with
the
signal.
That's.
R
Right,
any
any
anything
that
we
do,
that
that
involves
the
traffic
issue
at
montreat
and
state
road
and
and
state
street
is
going
to
involve
coordination
with
dot,
obviously,
and
so
what
I
think
the
the
goal
of
that
is
to
take
a
look
at
signal,
timings
and
other
other
options
that
we
may
have
there.
R
There's
you
know,
there's
no
there's
no
funding
in
place
for
the
realignment
and
the
the
sidewalk
is
is
built
there,
but
there
are
other
other
things
that
we
could
look
at
and
we
would
look
at
that
in
conjunction
with
d.o.t,
okay,.
P
N
When
moving
through
the
the
review
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
work
was,
were
there
any
other
alternatives,
alternatives
considered
other
than
the
exchange
of
blu-ray
drugs.
N
R
We'll
check
and
go
back
and
see
what
that,
what
some
of
the
results
of
that
initial
study
were.
I
mean
we're
kind
of
in
the
next.
You
know
that
we're
in
the
next
phase
of,
but
not
not
in
next
phase
of
it,
but
but
a
new
phase
regarding
that
interchange,
so
we'll
go
back
and
look
at
that
also
make
sure
we've
got
our
got
our
information.
I.
A
Well,
I
mean
there's
there's
issues
among
those
of
us
on
the
board
about
that.
I'm
glad
larry
brought
it
up,
but
that
you
know
it
could
be
that
you
know,
even
though
we're
all
in
agreement.
One
thing
we
need
another
exit
right,
that's
not
a
that's!
That's!
That's!
Not
an
issue
just
decide
where
to
put
it
in
the
course
and
that's
that's
that's
that's
where
the
issue
will
come
down.
A
R
So
what
we've
done?
We,
you
know
in
the
budget
for
this
this
year
we
set
aside
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
dredging.
Our
our
are
quoted,
come
in
close
to
the
200
000
ranges.
So
what
we
would
anticipate,
then,
is
setting
aside
more
money
in
the
upcoming
budget
so
that
we
can
do
the
dredging
in
next
year's
budget.
R
I
think
we
do
that
during
the
during
the
winter
time
is
the
most
is
when
you
would,
when
you
would
do
that
now
the
truth.
Now
the
tree
work
we're
getting
right,
that's
going
to
be
done.
Yeah.
R
Jamie
matthews
and
I
met
with
the
engineers
on
on
friday
and
they
and
they
tagged
the
trees
that
that
the
state's
not
going
to
allow
to
stay
on
the
state
on
the
dam
and
we'll
and
we'll
walk
through
that
process.
That's
going
to
be
springtime
when
that's
done
by
the
time.
That's
done,
though,
so
we'll
do
that
we'll
budget,
some
additional
funds
for
the
for
the
dredging
and
do
that
in
the
winter
time,
when
it
hopefully
will
minimize
some
of
that.
A
This
is
obviously
not
in
the
plan.
This
is
just
something
that
I'd
like
to
throw
out
for
y'all
to
consider,
and
that
is
if
it
does
occur
next
winter,
especially
around
christmas
time
that
we
take
advantage
of
all
the
old
christmas
trees
that
we've
got
and
put
them
in
the
middle
of
the
lake,
with
them
being
tied
down
with
cinder
blocks
and
stuff
to
create
a
habitat
for
the
for
the
brim
and
the
in
the
restocking
that
we
will
be
doing.
T
No,
I
think
they
were
just
waiting
for
that
to
come
out
and
I
guess
the
wrecking
parts
master
plan
which
I
think
we're
going
to
start
on
this
year.
But
the
real
details
in
terms
of
the
timeline
were
not
discussed
by
the
planning
board.
R
For
the
utilities
there
yeah
something
like
that,
but
and
you
know
we
had
anticipated
a
grant
a
cdbg,
what
they
call
a
catalyst
one
grant,
but
that
was
not
funded
by
the
state
this
year.
So
we
were
not
able
to
apply
for
a
grant
and
that
would
have
been
a
that
would
have
been
a
quality
project
under
the
guidelines
of
that
grant.
So
this
will
come
back
up
again
in
your
budget
process.
As
we
move,
cargo
will.
T
Parking
downtown
in
general
came
up
specifically
on
cherry
street.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
discussed
in
that
detail,
but
most
of
it
was
discussed
in
regards
to
the
mab
plan
and
the
parking
rut
around
town
square.
A
A
Instead
of
having
parallel
park,
I
mean
you
know
we
got
to
back
in
on
parallel
parking
to
have
the
straight
in
something
something
to
consider
anyway.
B
S
Well
before
I
had
any
comments,
we've
got
a
lot
of
people
here.
I
didn't
know
if
anyone
in
the
public
wanted
to
say
anything
before
we
continue
discussion
on
it,
but
not
seeing
a
whole
lot.
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
mike
on
the
comprehensive
plan.
If
you
guys
had
anything
that
we
haven't
addressed,
yeah.
A
A
D
Excuse
me,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
the
appropriate
place,
to
raise
this
question,
but
not
knowing
any
bet
I'll.
Do
it
talking
about
the
breweries
in
conditional
zoning
for
the
breweries
in
many
years
past
I
have
visited
large
breweries
that
have
a
tasting
room
where
they
give
away
their
product
and
basically,
what
it
is
is
a
bar,
and
I
wonder
if
any
consideration
has
been
given
to
that
possibility
in
breweries
or
microbreweries
that
may
be
located
in
black
mountain.
D
O
O
O
Let's
look
at
everything
else
in
the
master
plan,
from
a
standpoint
of
how
useful
is
how
useful
is
it,
and
how
can
we
prioritize
it
because
the
master
plan
is
very
general
and
those
generalities
can
end
up
with
nothing
getting
done
if
we
can
come
up
with
some
simple
things
that
cost
in
the
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars.
That
could
be
done
quickly,
we'll
make
some
progress.
A
Citizens,
well,
we
can
close
the
public
hearing
then
and
then
and
then
we
can
talk.
So
I
have
gave
her
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing
somebody's
on
favor.
Okay,
now
for
board
comments,
carlos
okay.
H
Whenever
I
see
the
word
safe
for
safety
that
just
sends
up
a
red
flag
to
me
and
as
it
is,
you
know,
the
color
associated
with
transportation
is
red.
If
you
look
at
t,
6.1.1
provide
roadways
that
are
safe
for
drivers,
bicyclists,
pedestrians
and
transit
riders
of
all
ages,
and
that
has
a
medium
priority
rating.
H
I
think
that
should
be
high
and
one
of
the
areas
that
I
think
in
particular
when
we
start
talking
about
phil
and
his
presentation,
I
think
that's
very
important
inside
wallace
across
watson.
What
have
you,
but
I
also
think
about
cragmont
road
in
that
corridor
through
town
is
much
traveled.
H
H
I
don't
know
how
we
the
town,
in
conjunction
with
the
state,
if
that
is
a
state
thoroughfare
or
not
how
we
go
about
maybe
implementing
some
type
of
speed,
bumps
or
breakers
or
whatever,
to
slow
vehicles
down
on
that
road.
I
think
what
might
be
a
good
investment
as
far
as
you
know,
we
have
a
lot
of
vehicular
traffic.
R
Let
me
just
crack:
my
road,
you
know,
is
split
between
being
d.o.t
responsibility
and
the
town
responsibility
that
it's
had.
It's
it's
half
and
half
the
dot
does
not
does
not
not
have
a
policy
that
allows
for
any
type
of
traffic
calming
that
involves
construction
or
something
on
the
road
and,
frankly,
right
now
we
don't.
We
don't
have
that
either
for
for
our
streets,
so
we
could
certainly
take
a
look
at
some
options
for
for
for
safety
issues
involving
craigmon.
R
I
don't
know
that
that
actual
construction
of
speed,
humps
and
those
sorts
of
those
sorts
of
breaks
are
going
to
be
one
of
the
options,
but
I'll
be
glad
to
have
us.
Take
a
look
and
see
if
we
can't
prioritize
some
options
for
crack
mock
road
because
there
are
there,
you
know
there
is.
There
is
a
propensity
to
speed
there.
A
If
you
have
any
particular,
you
know
this
is
this
is
what
we're
doing.
We
are
we're
voting
on
this
comprehensive
plan,
update
and-
and
we
don't
get
it
just-
we
don't
vote
it
up
or
down.
We
can
make
modifications
to
it
and
if
you
have
a
particular
item
in
there
that
you
would
like
to
move
to
a
higher
priority
item.
A
A
A
S
S
In
particular,
I'm
talking
about
our
vision,
statements
on
pages,
10,
10,
11
and
12
in
the
introduction-
and
I
want
to
start
out
by
saying-
is
that
I
want
to
commend
both
the
staff
and
the
planning
board
for
all
their
hard
work
on
it.
I've
been
to
a
lot
of
the
hearings.
I
know
the
incredible
amount
of
public
comment
you
got.
I've
read
all
the
public
comments
that
came
with
this
and
the
in
the
document,
so
I
know
that
this
has
been
a
very
labor-intensive
process
and
I've
been
very
going
through
it.
S
I've
been
I've
tried
to
be
very
sensitive
about
what
making
changes
or
revisions,
because
I
know
that
you
guys
have
diligently
worked
on
it,
and
but
the
way
that
I
look
at
the
comprehensive
plan
as
much
like
matt
described,
is
that
I
it
gives
us
an
umbrella
of
points
for
us
to
budget
towards
to
strive
to
for
not
just
us
that
sit
in
these
seats
now
but
going
forward,
and
I
think
the
vision
statements
are
the
most
important
part
of
that
and
in
essence,
I'd
like
to
see
them
and
for
the
most
part
they
are
be
continually
positive
about
our
community.
S
But
there
are
a
few
sentences
in
there
that
I'm
I'd
like
to
see
us
either
modify
or
maybe
remove.
The
first
would
be
under
section
one
small
town,
character
and
community
identity.
It's
just
that
last
sentence
of
it.
We
have
avoided
the
tiki
tacky
development
that
sometimes
comes
with
undesirable
growth.
S
Moving
on
I'd
like
to
go
to
to
number
five,
which
is
commercial
development
and
services,
and
in
the
middle
of
that,
starting
with
the
word
we
after
the
first
sentence,
where
we
appreciate
the
absence
of
plasticized,
fast
food
and
chain
store
architecture
prevalent
in
so
many
other
communities,
and
rather
than
shifting
our
retail
to
base
to
big
box
stores
and
asphalt
architecture
and
later
empty
store
fronts.
I'd
like
to
see
us
take
that
sentence
out
and
just
begin.
S
The
next
sentence
with
we
have
chosen
to
support
our
local
merchants
and
maximize
the
use
of
existing
buildings.
I
think
that
gets
us
to
the
same
point.
It
doesn't
call
out
certain
businesses.
I
think
that
we're
a
diverse
community
there's
a
place
for
for
chain
restaurants
for
for
chain
things,
maybe
not
in
downtown,
I'm
not
certainly
not
advocating
us
having
a
downtown
like
charlotte
or
anything
like
that,
but
in
the
highway
business
district.
These
things
could
be
useful
in
generating
economic
growth.
I'd
like
to
see
that
removed.
B
N
S
What
else
you
got
on
number
seven
housing
and
neighborhoods
the
again
the
middle
sentence
there,
our
town,
has
moved
away
from
trinity-gated
communities.
S
Got
any
others,
or
is
that
just
the
last
one
on
number
10
economic
opportunity,
the
last
sentence:
we
see
the
offspring
of
black
mountain
residents,
finding
excellent
career
opportunities
in
the
community,
I'd
just
like
to
take
offspring
the
offspring.
Out
of
that
I'd
like
to
see
residents
not
just
in
the
future,
but
now
find
those
opportunities
in
this
community,
and
I
think
that
should
be
our
goal
going
forward.
S
S
A
While
we're
on
chapter
four,
I
would
like
to
see
that
we
go
ahead
and
remove.
If
you
look
at
page
nine
chapter,
four
look
at
the
bottom
there
underneath
the
not
the
bullet,
the
the
square
black
box
there.
The
extension
of
the
river
walk
north
under
the
railroad
trout,
soil
along
the
swan,
will
require
the
removal
of
an
abandoned
sewer
line.
A
A
It's
it's
probably
a
little
bit
too
early
to
go
ahead
and
and
and
because
the
greenway
committee
needs
to
needs
to
do
this,
but
I'm
just
going
to
mention
this.
It
talks
on
page
10,
the
bullet
point
there,
the
open
bullet
point
phase,
two
of
the
flat
creek
trail-
will
extend
the
greenway
north
along
flat,
creek,
eventually
linking
into
the
trails
of
montreal.
Well,
it
has
that's
what
it's
doing
now.
It's
going
up
to
to
cotton,
cotton,
creek,
but
more
on
the
line.
A
We
were
to
try
to
extend
that
from
cotton
creek
to
the
montreal
gate.
If
we
go
along
the
river,
we
will
encounter
more
partials
in
that
one
section
than
we
have
in
the
entire
greenway
section,
and
so
that
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
that.
Probably
the
best
thing
to
do
just
to
go
and
put
a
sidewalk
up
on
the
flat
creek
the
gate,
but
anyway
that's
something
we
can
do
with
it.
But.
S
Well,
this
is,
these
are
just
minor
things
in
chapter
7
economic
development,
page
14.
S
figure,
77.
We
need
to
get
an
updated
conceptual
plan
of
town
square.
Oh,
is
there
okay,
there's
one
that
still
has
the
marketplace
pavilion,
we'll,
maybe
we'll
just
put
a.
A
P
R
And
if
you
don't
mind,
I'm
just
gonna
I've
written
down
the
can
I
just
can
I
just
just.
Can
I
just
list
the
amendment,
so
I
make
sure
I
know
what
I'm
talking
about
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
increase
the
priority
for
traffic
safety
from
medium
to
high
priority,
we're
going
to
make
the
the
changes
as
amended
to
the
to
the
visioning
section
and
I've
I'll
mark
those
down,
but
just
the
taking
some
of
the
sentences
out.
R
But
I've
got
those
we'll
change
the
references
to
flat
creek
to
the
emily
russell
way,
we'll
take
out
the
reference
to
the
sewer
line
because
that's
under
the
trestle
because
that's
been
done
and
we
will
update
the
town
square
design
on
page
14
of
the
economic
development
section.
R
A
A
A
R
A
As
soon
as
I
can
on
that,
do
we
have
communication
from
the
board
of
all
of
them
to
the
public.
A
A
A
R
Seems
like
that
would
be
actually
taking
a,
and
it's
just
been
too
wet
to
do
anything
to
it.
I
think
I
would
ask
you,
I
think,
we've
we
planned
to
do
some
french
drains
in
there
to
try
to
to
get
it
to
dry
out
something.
Let's
just
stay
tuned.
A
I
I
can
understand-
and
I
know
that
that's
what
jamie
talked
with-
I
mean
casey-
I
talked
talked
about
too
james,
so
we've
got
a
perfect
opportunity
here
to
have
a
wetland
garden.
Very
few
places
are
have
that
ability,
because
you
don't
have
the
water
there
to
do
it.
S
I
just
want,
I
shared
this
story
at
the
agenda
meeting,
but
I
wanted
to
share
it
with
everyone.
That's
in
the
room
now
as
well.
This
past
week,
michael
and
myself,
we
were
able
to
attend
the
newly
elected
leaders,
school
provided
by
the
the
school
of
government
and
the
league
of
municipalities,
and,
as
I
was
sitting
there,
I
was
in
between
breaks.
S
I
was
reading
my
comprehensive
plan
with
my
table
mates
from
the
town
of
canton
and
they
were
so
impressed
with
what
our
staff
and
our
community
had
done,
that
they
actually
took
my
original
copy
so
that
they
can
try
to
implement
something
in
their
town.
So
I
think
that
says
a
lot
about
the
quality
of
people
we
have
serving
on
the
boards
here,
the
quality
of
people
we
have
serving
this
community
and
it's
it's
just
a
from
my
perspective.
A
Well-
and
we
also
have
a
member
of
the
board
that
was
that
was
present
at
the
time,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
the
people
will
kennedy
who
led
us
through
that
through
that
time
and
mary
leonard
white,
who
was
there,
and
we
appreciate
all
of
what
you
did
on
that.
So
do
I
hear
a
motion
to
go
into
closed
session
on
favor.
