A
A
Thank
you
again
for
being
with
us
this
evening.
At
our
last
County
Commission
meeting,
we
welcomed
one
of
our
new
assistant,
county
managers,
Sybil
Tate,
to
her
new
role
in
Buncombe
County
and
before
we
begin
our
meeting
this
evening,
I
would
like
to
also
welcome
the
Keisha
Wesley.
He
was
with
us
this
evening,
who
is
our
other
new
assistant
county
manager?
The
Keisha
has
served
as
the
assistant
administrator
for
Lake
County
Illinois.
A
She
brings
19
years
of
experience
in
local
government,
including
her
work
for
Lake,
County
and
12
years,
working
in
the
community
of
Fort
Worth
Texas,
the
future.
We
are
so
glad
to
have
you
as
part
of
our
management
team
here
in
Buncombe
County,
and
we
are
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
so
welcome
before
we
begin
our
meeting
this
evening.
Let's
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
value
of
all
of
the
people
who
have
public
service
as
their
calling.
We
appreciate
our
teachers
and
all
the
people
who
make
our
schools
work
each
day.
A
A
In
accordance
with
a
code
of
ethics
adopted
by
the
board,
all
County
Commissioners
have
a
duty
to
obey
all
applicable
laws
regarding
official
actions
to
uphold
the
integrity
and
independence
of
the
office,
to
avoid
impropriety
in
the
exercise
of
official
duties
to
faithfully
perform
the
duties
of
the
office
and
to
conduct
the
affairs
of
the
governing
board
in
an
open
and
public
manner.
Are
there
any
items
on
the
agenda,
the
outcome
of
which
would
have
a
direct,
substantial
and
readily
identifiable
financial
impact
for
any
board?
Member?
A
Does
any
board
member
have
a
financial
interest
in
any
public
contract
coming
before
the
board?
Today,
there
being
none
all
board.
Members
have
a
duty
and
obligation
to
vote
on
any
matters
voted
on
by
the
board
at
this
meeting,
all
right,
commission,
we,
we
have
a
closed
session
matter
that
we
need
to
attend
to,
and
we
need
to
do
it
at
the
front
of
the
meeting
as
Ron
Payne
has
a
family
obligation
that
would
prevent
him
from
being
with
us
at
the
back
end
of
our
meeting.
A
B
A
C
E
D
F
A
E
A
Which
is
to
consider
the
recommendation
on
hiring
of
the
internal
audit
directors?
Yeah?
Okay,
but
before
we
go
there,
I
did
neglect
to
announce
that
there
are
parking
validation.
If
you
use
the
county's
parking,
deck
or
transit
to
attend
this
meeting,
you
can
get
validation
for
your
parking
pass
or
transit
pass
from
one
of
the
officers
who's
at
the
meeting
this
evening,
so
feel
free
to
see
them
on
the
way
out.
That's
valid
for
today.
A
H
The
organization
of
of
the
of
the
of
the
internal
audit
function
is
such
that
and
I'm
reading,
directly
from
the
Charter
that
the
internal
audit
director
reports
administratively
to
the
county
manager
and
with
clear
and
recognized
access
and
reporting
to
the
Buncombe,
County
Commissioners
and
the
audit
committee.
And
so
in
order
to
honor
that
organizational
structure.
H
The
committee
agreed
with
our
County
manager
on
a
process
by
which
we
would
select
a
candidate
to
bring
to
you
this
evening
and
for
for
you
to
consider
for
the
next
director
of
internal
audit,
and
so
the
process
was
this,
that
the
county
manager
would
would
work
with
HR
to
post
the
position
to
start
the
process,
and
with
that
there
were
eleven
qualified
candidates.
One
withdrew
from
consideration
the
remaining
ten
candidates
and
again
this
is
as
approved
by
the
Audit
Committee
and
delegated
over
to
the
county
manager
to
go
through
this
agreed-upon
process.
H
Scored
candidates
were
invited
with
interviews
with
the
audit
subcommittee,
and
I
would
remind
you
that
that
subcommittee
is
your
two
commissioners
who
serve
Commissioner,
Presley
and
Whiteside,
and
the
chair
of
the
committee
comprises
the
internal
audit
subcommittee
and
so
the
subcommittee
then,
with
the
county
manager,
with
representation
from
HR
interviewed
the
two
top
candidates
and
we
selected
one
of
those
candidates
and
took
that
candidate
to
the
full
committee.
At
the
full
committee.
H
We
we
did
a
Skype
interview
and
the
committee
voted
by
majority
vote
unanimous
vote,
I
believe,
although
we
had
one
member
absent
to
make
recommendation
to
the
commissioners
for
a
new
internal
audit
director
that
would
be
Tricia,
Burnett
Tricia
was
born
and
raised
in
Asheville.
She
received
her
undergraduate
degree
in
accounting
from
UNCA.
Her
master's
degree
in
accounting
from
Western
Carolina,
so
she
covers
all
the
required
bases
for
higher
education
in
Buncombe
County.
H
She
holds
CPA
licenses
in
North,
Carolina
and
Oregon
and
as
as
as
well
as
the
International
certified
internal
auditor
certification
and
the
Certified
Fraud
examiner
certification,
Trisha
spent
most
of
her
career
in
public
service
in
Western
North
Carolina.
She
worked
the
majority
of
her
time
with
the
NC
office
of
the
state
auditor,
with
audit
responsibilities
over
state
universities,
community
colleges
and
clerks
of
Superior
Court.
She
also
served
as
the
director
of
internal
audit
for
UNC
Asheville.
H
For
the
past
four
and
a
half
years
she
has
lived
in
Eugene
Oregon,
drawn
to
the
opportunity
of
helping
to
create
the
University
of
Oregon's
first
ever
office
of
internal
audit.
She
currently
leads
a
team
of
four
staff
that
includes
three
audit
professionals
and
a
support
professional.
She
developed
a
partnership
with
the
college
of
business
for
about
opportunities
for
students
to
learn
and
work
in
the
internal
audit
field.
H
Her
goal
is
to
integrate
internal
audit
into
everyday
up
everyday
operation,
everyday
operations
of
any
organization
she
works
with,
including
and
giving
the
opportunity
to
do
so
in
Buncombe
County.
She
strongly
believes
in
partnering
collaborating
and
communicating
with
those
she
works
with,
as
well
as
leveraging
all
resources
possible
to
ensure
the
best
practices
are
in
place
that
allow
the
mission
and
objectives
of
Buncombe
County
to
be
met.
So
with
that
I
submit
to
you,
Tricia
Burnett,
for
your
consideration
for
the
next
director
of
internal
audit.
A
A
E
Being
a
member
of
the
committee,
a
subcommittee
we're
fortunate
to
have
someone
of
Tricia's
caliber
to
move
into
the
position
as
internal
auditor
and
in
many
ways
one
she's,
a
graduate
of
UNC
EWTN's
University
of
North
Carolina
at
Asheville
and
she's
from
here.
So
that
gives
us
added
you
know.
But
when
you
look
at
it,
though,
it
was
no
comparison.
When
we
looked
at
the
people
as
for
his
she's
competent
with
her
undergraduate
degree
and
the
master's
in
account
so
she's
by
far
from
the
ones
we
interviewed
I
thought
great
great.
A
A
Okay.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is,
we
would
like
to
as
a
County
Commission
provide
recognition
to
a
really
special
person
in
our
community,
mr.
Jean
Val
for
25
years
of
service
in
our
community,
and
so
we
have
a
resolution
that
we
would
like
to
present
so
I'd
like
to
ask
all
the
county
commissioners
to
to
join
us
down
at
the
podium
and
ask
mr.
Bell
to
please
join
us
as
well.
E
E
E
Now,
therefore,
be
it
proclaimed
by
the
Board
of
Commissioners
for
the
county
of
bunkum
as
follows:
first,
that
August
6
2019
B
and
hereby
proclaim
as
Jean
Belle
day
in
Buncombe
County.
Second,
that
all
Buncombe
County
citizens
are
encouraged
to
recognize
the
many
contributions
of
Jean
Bell
to
our
community
and
third,
that
this
Proclamation
be
effective
upon
its
adoption
adopted
the
sixth
day
of
August
2019
Board
of
Commissioners
for
Buncombe
County
by
brownie,
Neumann
chairman.
F
D
E
I
Just
wanted
to
thank
you
all
and
as
proud
as
I
am
but
I'm.
Also
that
humble
I
want
you
to
realize
that
some
of
the
successes
out
of
experience
that
I've
gotten
credit
for
have
been
a
result
of
you
all
support
the
two
schools
that
we
were
able
to
bill.
You
all
funded
us
to
be
able
to
do
that,
and
without
that
I
was
just
been
a
board
member
for
eight
years
and
that
wouldn't
have
happened.
I
We
could
not
have
sent
a
hundred
and
thirty
kids
123
kids
without
the
support
of
Buncombe
County.
So
I
would
like
to
for
my
family
back
in
Kentucky
to
tell
them
that
I
was
able
to
accomplish
all
this
by
myself,
but
it
would
be
a
lie
and
I
have
these
people
here.
That
are
my
extended
family.
If
they
would
stand
that,
all
of
those
people
are
disappointed.
My
life
and.
I
I
just
want
to
say,
lastly,
that
we
all
too
quickly
and
too
frequently
think
of
our
accomplishments,
that
they're,
based
on
our
efforts,
our
knowledge
and
our
intelligence,
but
very
few
people,
if
any
ever
accomplished
anything
without
support
from
everybody,
and
this
community
has
helped
to
make
me
successful
with
this.
So
I'm
very
flattered.
Well,
thank
you
again
and
and
I'll
talk
to
Robin,
and
this
is
really
a
big
deal
for
me.
So
my
last
thing
now
asks
Mike
woods
to
come
up.
I
We
have
the
thank-you
notes
from
the
kids
that
went
to
Branson
Missouri
and
we
want
to
share
those
with
you
and
we
haven't
broken
out
by
the
district
that
they
live
in
and
so
that
you'll
get
a
clear
example
of
what
we're
doing
and
how
much
they
appreciate
your
efforts.
So
so
I'm
not
going
to
be
tell
you,
don't
want
to
share
the
reward
with
you
because
I
don't,
but.
G
A
J
Good
evening,
chairman
and
commissioners,
no
slides
this
evening,
just
a
discussion
on
the
mountain
community
capital
fund.
You
should
be
familiar
with
this
program.
It's
been
before
this
board
on
two
separate
occasions,
but
as
a
refresher,
the
mountain
community
capital
fund
is
a
small
business
loan
guarantee
program.
It's
a
partnership
with
the
county
of
bunkum,
as
well
as
the
city
of
Asheville
and
three
CDFIs
Community
Development
financial
institutions,
which
include
mountain
biz,
Works
self-help
and
carolina
small
business,
as
we've
done
this
year
with
other
economic
development
appropriations.
J
The
statute
does
require
that
these
appropriations
are
bought
brought
before
you
in
the
form
of
a
public
hearing,
even
though
they've
been
approved
by
you
through
a
budgetary
process.
So
this
evening
we
are
asking
for
a
public
hearing
to
allow
the
public
to
comment
on
the
mountain
community
capital
fund
and
the
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
associated
with
that
small
business
loan
guarantee
program.
However,
we
are
not
asking
for
any
type
of
vote
from
this
board.
Additionally,
we're
not
asking
for
any
additional
funding.
J
This
is
funding,
that's
already
been
appropriated
and
included
in
the
FY
2008,
and
a
couple
dates
just
as
refreshers.
This
first
came
before
you
at
the
October
17th
2017
regular
meeting
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
when
it
was
first
approved
and
then
was
brought
back
before
you
on
October
6
2018,
at
which
point
you
approved
the
county
to
move
forward
with
the
actual
agreement
that
created
the
mountain
community
capital
fund.
So
if
there
are
no
questions
at
this
time,
I
would
turn
it
to
y'all
and
ask
the
public
hearing
be
opened.
J
D
J
D
A
K
Won't
take
three
minutes:
two
hundred
thousand
I
would
I'll
be
sending
an
email
to
our
county
manager
with
this
request.
I
want
to
know
what
line
item
that
two
hundred
thousand
is
coming
from
and
what
else
is
in
that
line
item
for
this
type
of
investment
in
2020.
So,
though,
that
question
will
be
sent
to
her
and
I
think
that's
something
that
should
have
been
reported
here
in
this
public
hearing
because
remember
we
want
to
encourage
people
to
go
to
the
internet
and
monitor
and
watch
the
disbursement
of
money.
K
A
All
right,
I
see
anyone
else.
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
at
5:30,
8
p.m.
and
Tim
weird
Tim
Kim
right
there
in
the
front.
Ok
like
looking
back
here
right
here
so
Tim
again,
this
is
coming
from
the
county's
economic
development
budget.
Any
other
details
you
would
share
in
response
to
the
question
about
you
know,
kind
of
where.
L
Actually,
I
don't
want
to
contradict
him,
but
if
I
remember
correctly
and
I
can
certainly
get
this
information
back
to
you,
we
actually
took
action.
I
do
believe
during
fiscal
year
2019
to
establish
those
funds
from
the
general
fund
to
available
in
the
multi-year
fund,
which
I
do
believe
was
our
like.
A
special
revenue
fund.
I
can
get
that
information
for
you,
but
it
is
an
already
established
budget
in
that
amount.
To
my
recollection
and
we'll
supply
you
with
that
information.
Ok,.
A
Okay,
all
right
any
other
questions,
all
right,
no
actions
needed
on
this
item.
It's
already
been
vetted
on.
This
is
simply
holding
the
required
public
hearing.
So
Tim,
thanks
for
your
and
thanks
for
your
help.
Thank
you.
Okay!
Next
up
we
have
three
rezoning
items.
The
and
Joshua
Freeman
will
be
presenting
each
one
of
these.
The
first
one
is
the
America
from
pronouncing
that
right,
rezoning
request.
Yes,.
M
Sir,
thank
you
pick
it
out.
The
PowerPoint
pulled
up
right,
okay,
so
the
first
application
before
you
is
the
you
her
rezoning
application.
This
is
case
number
Z,
pH,
2019
22.
Let
me
state
for
the
record
that
this
application
was
or
this
public
hearing
was
properly
noticed
in
accordance
with
county
code
and
state
law.
The
screen
before
you
shows
the
various
dates
involved
in
the
public
hearing
notification
process,
the
applicants
Sir
Robert
and
Laura
you
Hurka,
the
address
of
the
property
is
119
woodland,
drive
and
Swannanoa.
M
Just
this
project
has
this.
Application
has
kind
of
been
around
for
a
while.
It
has
been
through
several
iterations
of
review.
So
a
little
unusual,
but
I'll
kind
of
give
the
history
of
this.
Just
briefly
on
May
20th,
the
Planning
Board
first
considered
this
rezoning
in
its
original
form
on
June
18th.
The
applicant
withdrew
the
rezoning
application
prior
to
a
hearing
before
this
board,
with
the
idea
of
revising
their
application
to
a
smaller
area.
M
On
June
19th,
the
applicant
submitted
a
revised
rezoning
plan,
July
1st
the
Planning
Board
was
scheduled
to
meet,
but
they
were
not
able
to
achieve
a
quorum
that
night.
So
it
was
continued
to
the
next
meeting.
July
15th,
the
Planning
Board
then
did
review
and
in
forward
a
recommendation
to
this
body
on
August
8th
the
board
of
commissioners
tonight,
we're
here
to
have
the
public
hearing
on
this
case
some
property
information
and
there's
a
few
edits
here
that
have
I'm
making
based
on
some
revised
information,
the
total
property.
M
The
original
application
was
to
rezone
the
entire
prior,
pretty
14.7
acre
zero,
seven
acres
from
our
LD
residential,
which
is
residential,
low
density
to
our
one
residential.
The
rezoning
area
was
revised
to
one
point:
zero
five
acres
based
on
that
schedule
that
I've
previously
summarized
I
had
originally
said.
One
point:
seven,
the
applicant
submitted
an
actual
survey
document.
My
opponent
was
based
on
our
mapping
system
internally.
This
is
actually
a
field
based
survey,
so
the
acreage
is
actually
smaller
than
I
thought.
It
was.
M
Hence
the
change
there's
one
existing
single-family
home
on
the
property
and
the
property
is
serviceable
by
public
water
and
public
sewer.
This
graphic
gives
you
before
and
after
if
you
choose
to
approve
this
rezoning
tonight,
the
screen
on
the
map
on
the
Left
shows
the
current
zoning
in
our
LD.
The
map
on
the
right
shows
the
small
yellow
hatched
area
to
the
east,
far
eastern
corner
of
that
property
that
is
what's
being
discussed
for
rezoning
the
rest
of
the
14.
M
M
Typically,
an
environmentally
sensitive
areas,
steep
slopes
and
fragile
soils
are
one,
on
the
other
hand,
is
primarily
primarily
intended
to
provide
single-family
and
to
family
residential
uses
in
areas
where
water
and
sewer,
as
generally
present,
give
you
some
numbers
to
compare
the
two
districts
on
the
left
hand
table.
These
are
some
of
the
standards
that
are
in
the
ordinates
43-thousand
one
acre.
M
Forty
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
sixty
square
feet
minimum
lot
size
in
our
LD
under
our
one
with
water
and
sewer,
you
can
actually
get
out
into
an
8,000
square
foot
lot
maximum
two
units
per
acre
and
our
LD
is
two
and
our
one.
It's
ten.
The
setbacks
are
fairly
similar
in
situations
we
have
water
and
sewer
the
rear,
yard
setback
changes
by
about
five
feet
and
the
side
yard
setback
changes
about
defeat
is
reduced
under
our
one.
M
The
table
on
the
right
gives
you
kind
of
a
real-world
scenario
for
this
property.
Total
acres
subject
to
the
rezoning
is
one
point:
zero,
five
or
just
a
little
bit
more
than
forty
six
thousand
forty
three
forty
six
thousand
square
feet.
Sorry,
the
minimum
lot
size
again
is
forty
three
thousand
square
feet
under
rld
under
r1.
It's
eight
thousand
square
feet,
given
those
numbers
on
the
on
the
rezoning
area.
If
it
were
not
to
change
the
zoning
you
could
get
to
dwelling
units
in
that
area.
M
With
the
proposed
rezoning
for
single-family
residential
development,
we
estimate
you
could
get
five
realistically
on
paper.
You
could
do
as
many
as
ten
dwelling
units.
That's
sort
of
in
a
vacuum
of
not
factoring
in
driveways
and
right-of-ways
and
setbacks,
and
things
like
that,
practically
speaking
on
the
ground,
with
single
family
structures,
you
could
you
could
get
five
so
now
we're
getting
into
some
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
Analysis
or
the
the
land-use
plan
analysis
can
variables.
M
The
Lanie's
plan
recommends
that
you
not
up
zone
to
a
higher
density
classification
when
the
elevation
is
over
two
thousand
five
hundred
feet
above
sea
level,
the
revised
resulting
is
not
so
it
does
comply.
It
also
recommends
not
up
zoning
when
the
slope
is
greater.
Twenty
five
is
greater
than
twenty
five
percent.
A
portion
of
the
reduced
rezoning
area
still
is
within
that
twenty
five
percent
or
greater
slope
area.
Most
of
these
slopes
are
surrounding
the
existing
home.
You
can
kind
of
see
on
this
map.
M
M
M
These
images
give
you
a
sense
of
you
know:
what's
around
the
subject:
property
from
different
perspectives,
so
here
you're
looking
north
across
the
property,
the
yellow
dot
is
roughly
where
the
existing
house
is
here.
You're,
looking
south
across
the
property
here,
you're
looking
toward
the
east
and
then
here
you're
looking
toward
the
West
Land
Use
Plan
analysis.
It's
it's
kind
of
a
mixed
bag.
In
this
particular
case,
it
is
fairly
distant
from
any
transportation
corridors.
M
However,
it
is
within
reasonable
proximity
to
water
sewer,
it's
adjacent
to
the
site,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
it
does
have
some
25%
slippered
greater
on
the
property.
It's
not
in
the
high
elevation
area.
It
does
contain
a
small
area
of
moderate
slope
stability
and
it's
outside
the
flood
hazard
area.
Staffs
perspective
on
this
and
I
do
want
to
point
out.
We
do
deviate
from
the
plan
of
board's
recommendation
and
I'll.
Come
to
that.
M
In
a
moment,
staffs
recommend
is
that
the
steep
sloped
areas
that
remain
on
the
property
again
fall
below,
or
regulatory
threshold
and
they're
kind
of
de
minimis
areas.
Every
small
they're
really
a
result
of
to
some
extent
the
the
grading
that
happened
to
support
the
existing
home
and
so
they're
they're,
small
and
incidental.
But
that
is
a
matter
of
perspective.
M
The
planner
board's
recommendation
was
originally
by
a
vote
of
seven
to
one
denial
based
on
the
original
application
at
the
public
hearing
where
the
applicant
withdrew
their
application,
and
the
item
was
sent
back
to
the
Planning
Board
or
they
would,
through
the
application
and
then
resubmitted
for
reconsideration
before
the
Planning
Board.
The
vote
then
changed
from
a
three
to
three.
So
it's
a
tie
vote
which,
under
state
law
and
under
our
ordinance,
has
the
effect
of
being
a
negative
termination.
So
the
planning
board
recommends
denial.
M
Their
basis
for
recommendation
is
really
that
that
25
percent
slope
area,
so
they
they
evaluated
your
policy
and
your
policy
kind
of
on
its
face.
When
you,
when
you
look
at
it,
it
does
steer
you
in
that
direction.
Staffs
recommendation
does
deviate
respectfully
from
the
Planning
Board
and
it's
really
more
about
kind
of
the
site
circumstances
on
the
ground.
M
F
M
N
M
N
A
One
other
questions
you
said
so
there's
one
house
already
on
the
property
and
realistically
the
difference
between
these
two
zoning
options.
Realistically,
what
does
it
mean
in
terms
of
the
number
of
homes
you
could
build
under
existing.
M
M
G
M
A
A
O
Good
evening,
chairman
Board
of
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Michael
Goforth
I
work
here
in
the
town,
I'm
a
civil
engineer,
my
company's
high-country
engineering.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
tonight
and
to
listen
to
our
rezoning
request
for
the
you
hircus
on
the
slide
there
I
want
you
to
see
the
first
thing
that
comes
up.
O
This
is
the
plat
that
they
have
prepared.
They've
already
submitted
this
to
the
County
Planning
Department,
which
is
contingent
upon
this
approval,
and
this
is
their
intention
of
what
they
desire
to
do.
If
you
look
there's
an
entire
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
screen
here,
there's
you
know
the
the
remainder
of
the
property
that
has
quite
a
bit
of
steep
slope,
that's
higher
in
elevation
and
so
forth.
That
is
not
part
of
this
rezoning.
O
This
is
the
plat
that
we're
looking
at
so
they're,
showing
three
Lots
here
with
a
proposed
45
foot
ride
away
only
to
allow
for
access
for
that
piece
that
remainder
of
the
parcel
on
the
back
side
there
so
like
Josh,
said
there's
the
minimum
lot.
Size
is
8,000
square
feet
for
this
zoning
with
water
and
sewer
the
water
and
sewers
right
there
in
front
of
the
piece
of
property.
There
will
require
no
sewer
line,
extensions
or
water
line
extensions
to
serve
these
two
additional
units.
Here
are
lots.
O
They
they
really
couldn't
do
much
more
and
keep
the
existing
house.
I
immediately
have
regretted
not
taking
a
picture
of
the
existing
house
and
providing
this
thing,
because
the
urca's
have
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
and
effort
and
their
own
money
fixing
that
house
up
I
think
if
anybody
were
to
drive
by
it
today
and
take
a
look
at
it,
you'd
realize
it's,
not
a
house,
that's
meant
for
demolition,
and
so
that
is
a
regret
that
I
did
not.
O
But
here
we
are
I,
do
have
a
couple
additional
slides
just
to
continue
to
show
you
some
of
the
other
homes
surrounding
within
a
quarter
mile
of
this
piece
of
property,
and
so
you
can
kind
of
get
an
idea
for
what
they
are.
I
also
want
to
point
out
the
two
additional
Lots
on
the
front
that
are
running
their
Woodlawn
Drive,
there's
their
at
point.
Two
two
acres.
O
So
keep
that
in
mind,
which
is
above
the
8,000
square
foot
threshold
that
that
point
two
two
is
ninety:
seven,
forty
roughly
square
feet,
so
this
house,
you
can
see
on
the
left
side,
is
from
your
GIS.
This
is
their
next-door
neighbor.
Here
you
can
see
the
typical
house
size
there.
What
it
looks
like
they're
on
point,
3-1
acres
right
there-
this
is
directly
next
door
to
them
on
that
piece
of
property.
O
This
is
just
a
couple
houses
down
from
there,
another
moderately
sized
family
house
0.318
hers.
That's
the
lot
size
there,
another
house
directly
down.
You
can
see.
There's
highlighted
on
the
left,
where
that
parcel
is
in
relation
to
the
subject
proper,
subject:
property
that
we've
done
there,
another
reasonably
sized
single-family
home
on
point
one
acres,
very
similar
zoning.
O
There's
another
house:
that's
right
down
the
road!
It's
on
point
two:
nine
acres,
it's
right
there
close
to
it!
And
lastly,
this
is
the
house:
that's
right
there
as
you
drive
in
it's
close
to
them.
So
one
point:
two:
seven
acres,
very
tight
footprint,
very
small
house,
the
new
erica's
that
indicated
to
me
that
this
is
their
intention
to
continue
to
build
something
in
this
manner.
That
looks
something
like
this.
That
has
a
small
footprint
on
these
two
additional
Lots
that
they
are
requesting
to
have
here.
O
I
want
to
leave
this
just
so
you
can
remember
that
this
is
what
they're
asking
for
they're,
not
asking
for
any
of
the
back
portion
of
the
property
to
be
rezone,
to
be
changed.
To
do
anything
with
that
at
this
meeting,
they're,
mainly
focusing
on
redoing.
Creating
these
two
additional
Lots
on
this
piece
of
property.
I
would
like
to
request
that,
after
the
public
hearing
portion
that
we
would
be
able
to
come
back
up
and
just
clear
up
any
things
that
have
come
out
of
that
process.
If
that
was,
if
that's
possible,.
A
You
might
ask
a
question
voter
so,
but
we
are,
this
is
a
straight
rezoning
there
right,
so
we're
not
approving
a
site
plan.
We
are
approving
a
straight
rezoning
and
I
appreciate
the
schematic,
but
you
know
some
of
the
concerns.
I
think
we've
heard
have
been
that
there
might
be
a
lot
more
built
on
the
property
if
it's
rezone,
so
I,
don't
I
mean
have
other
plans
been
shown
that
show
more
construction
or
as
I.
O
Mean
I
haven't
prepared,
any
I
have
I
did
see
the
urca's
did.
They
did
prepare
a
another
plat
that
they
provided
to
me
that
showed
an
additional
three
houses.
Now
those
were
those
were
exactly
8,000
square
foot
Lots,
so
they
were
very
tight
footprint,
but
I
think
that
does
not
reflect
what
this
rezoning
is
asking
you
for.
That
is
only
reflecting
this
1.05
acres,
which
is
what
we're
asking
for
right
now.
That
was
one
I
think
it
had
some
additional
on
the
on
the
top
end
of
the
to
make
the
last
lot
8,000
square
feet.
A
All
right:
well,
why
don't
we
go
ahead,
open
the
public
hearing
and
so
we'll
do
that
now,
I'm
gonna
open
the
public
hearing
at
5:59
p.m.
any
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
comment
are
welcome
to
do
so.
You'll
have
up
to
three
minutes:
you'll
get
when
you
have
30
seconds
left
the
lights
will
change
and
when
your
time's
up,
please
conclude
your
comments
at
that
time.
A
P
P
Currently,
they
have
attempted
to
put
up
silt
fencing,
but
to
no
avail,
because
the
steep
on
the
slope
on
that
lot,
water
is
running
downhill
out
into
the
road.
We
have
walkers
bicycle
errs
vehicles
Sunday,
we
had
horseback
riders.
It
is
a
grave
concern
to
us
that
this
is
what
we're
looking
at
at
this
time.
If
you
look
at
the
next,
this
is
the
drawing
that.
J
P
Gentleman
referred
to,
and
the
issue
for
us
is
that
that
drawing
had
three
Lots
plus
the
house
lot.
This
is
like
a
ship
shape.
You
know
a
shape
of
whatever
you
call
it.
Shapeshifter
everything
moves
every
time.
Someone
brings
up
an
issue,
they
change.
You
know
it
was
going
to
be
two
to
three
small
houses.
P
None
of
them
are
in
a
steep
slope
area.
The
last
house
she
showed
you,
the
little
tiny
house
actually
is
a
and
it
goes
down
behind
the
house
not
in
front
of
the
house
that
would
it
it
would
run
out
on
to
the
road
when
went
to
the
Omer.
In
that
time
we
went
to
the
zoning
meeting.
The
three
people
who
voted
against
rittenberg,
Martin
and
Waldrop
were
very
concerned
about
the
pictures
and
what
we
were
looking
at
and
miss
Waldron
wanted
to
make
sure
that
her
concern
about
the
steep
slope.
P
Runoff
was
noted
in
those
I
mean
she
specifically
asked
for
it
to
be
noted
and
I
had
one
more
I'm
gonna
run
out
of
time.
When
Josh
did
his
analysis,
he
gave
you
seven
points
wide
to
approve
it.
He
gave
you
two
points
not
to
approve
it
or
not
to
approve
it,
but
when
he
did,
he
also
mentioned
that
there
were
a
lot
of
your
time.
Is
okay,
all.
Q
R
Hello,
my
name
is
Michael
Hayes
I'm
here
in
basically
three
different
sort
of
capacities.
I'm
here
I
am
the
trustee
and
the
beneficiary
of
the
trust
that
abuts
their
total
parcel.
The
14
acre
parcel,
there's
40
acres
above
it
I'm
the
resident
of
58th
hope
view
road,
which
is
also
above
this
property
and
I'm.
Also
here
representing
the
woodlands
homeowners
association,
which
I'm
the
president
of
that's
a
12
unit
subdivision
that's
at
the
top
of
woodland
drive
our
homeowners
don't
support
this
petition.
R
Just
a
couple
things
I'd
say:
I
have
seen
an
another
plant
that
was
referred
to
this.
This
thing's
changed
two
or
three
times
during
the
course
of
it.
So
I
came
prepared
with
with
comments
about
that
and
I
see
this
new
one.
Today,
that's
that's
a
difference.
That's
only
two
two
additional
houses,
but
it's
got
the
same
problem.
R
If
you
I've
done
I've
done
I'm
a
real
estate
developer
and
I've
done
three
small
subdivisions
in
Buncombe,
County
and
two
large
subdivisions,
so
I'm
pretty
familiar
with
the
requirements,
but
the
issues
here,
I,
don't
see
even
in
this
new
plan,
I,
don't
see
any
ingress
or
egress
to
these
Lots.
The
only
thing
that
you
can
only
weigh
in
I
looked
at
this
property
I
brought
an
engineer
and
he
concluded
that
the
current
zoning
is
is
appropriate
for
the
house.
R
There's
no
I,
don't
see
any
way
to
get
driveways
to
these
two
new
Lots,
because
the
land
across
the
front
of
that
is
owned
by
the
state
that
that
right-of-way
in
the
front,
so
they
can't
cross
that
so
the
only
way
in
is
through
a
lot,
I
didn't
see
any
ingress
or
egress
or
easements
into
these
two
new
Lots,
so
I
don't
know
how
they
get
there.
The
big
problem,
of
course,
is
is
the
stormwater.
This
is
I,
think
1.05
acres,
which
would
require
a
stormwater
plan.
R
R
That
spot
is
on
a
kind
of
a
blind
corner
coming
down.
Woodland
is
a
very
narrow
road,
so
it's
on
kind
of
a
blind
corner
side
got
some
concerns
about
the
traffic
coming
around
there
and
what
they
would
do
and
how
they're
going
to
get
out
onto
the
road
with
through
that
existing
driveway.
But
to
summarize
basically
this
this
has
changed
hands
several
times.
It's
been
here
three
times
it's
been
like.
Well,
if
you
don't
like
this
plan,
here's
another
one.
Let's
try
this
one.
R
R
S
Hi
good
evening
my
name
is
Sofia
Papadopoulos
and
I
am
a
resident
of
Grove
montón
Swannanoa.
Some
of
you
may
or
may
not
know
me
from
several
years
ago.
We
had
some
some
concerns
right
on
this
very
same
Road
and
actually
the
previous
owners
of
this
property,
or
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
got
started.
I
had
spoken
to
Lee
and
Walter
are
actually
justly
excuse
me,
because
they're
gonna
put
in
the
Veterans
Home
entrance
right
across
the
street
from
our
home.
S
So
we
had
major
issues
just
on
traffic
issues
on
that
road
and
we
fought
the
state
and
we
won
and
we
removed
the
entrance
and
we
put
it
around
on
Lake
Eden
read.
The
property
was
already
mentioned
this
evening,
how
absolutely
beautiful
it
is,
and
the
urca's
have
done
a
tremendous
job,
remodeling
the
home
and
making
it
ready
to
sell
it
is
being
sold
for
way
over
the
value
of
most
homes
in
our
area.
So
I
do
wish
them
luck
and
selling
it
I'm,
not
really
sure.
S
S
The
current
house
there's
for
sale
for
one
I
think
with
one
acre
but
I'm,
not
really
sure,
because
the
plans
keep
changing.
How?
How
are
you?
How
are
you
actually
gonna
get
to
these
homes?
I
I,
don't
know
we
do
have
a
major
issue
with
storm
water.
I
live
on
the
part
of
that
slope
as
well,
and
we
have.
We
have
tremendous
runoff
issues,
and
so
the
just
the
flooding
and
the
water
and
the
runoff
is
is
a
major
concern.
S
My
biggest
concern
is
the
kind
of
what
Pam
said
is
that
there
were
in
shapeshifter
made
like
every
time
we
hear
about
it.
Something
is
changing.
I'm
highly
concerned
that
ten
units
are
gonna
pop
in
on
1.05
acres
that
does
not
fit
in
to
the
landscape
of
our
neighborhood
whatsoever.
We
have
very
nice
Lots.
We
are
very
grateful
that
we
have
nice
Lots,
it's
a
very
family-oriented
neighborhood.
There
are
people
in
the
streets
walking,
there
are
people
on
their
bikes.
S
Where
we're
ten
units,
seven
units
five
units
is
gonna,
go
I,
have
no
idea,
I
don't
want
to
see
it.
There
think
it
would
completely
change
the
landscape
of
what
we
have,
and
it
also
would
open
the
doors
to
somebody
else.
Doing
kind
of
the
same
thing
which
isn't
very
fitting
two
houses,
I
think
I
will
say
this.
Somebody
is
going
to
buy
the
property,
I
mean
somebody
was
gonna,
buy
the
property.
T
My
name
is
Robert
Randolph
I
live
at
1:05
woodland
Drive.
It
was
the
second
house
featured
on
the
slideshow
earlier
just
below
the
property
in
question.
My
wife,
Gina
I've,
lived
there
for
22
years.
I
have
three
points
to
make
regard
to
this
rezoning
request.
The
first
is
the
issue
of
affordable
housing.
I
grew
up
in
the
West
Asheville
of
the
50s
and
the
60s,
the
main
reason
being
when
my
parents
moved
to
West
Asheville
in
1945
straight
from
Oak
Ridge
Tennessee,
where
my
dad
had
been
involved
in
the
war
efforts.
T
There
were
a
young
couple
with
two
preschool
children
and
need
affordable
place
to
live.
They
bought
that
house
on
Fairfax
Avenue
for
$3,000,
which
of
course
was
worth
a
lot
more
in
1945
than
it
is
now,
but
I
grew
up
in
a
community
where
affordable
housing
was
in
reach
of
most
people.
It
was
not
a
government
program,
it
was
just
West
Asheville
and
that's
the
way
it
was
and
I
have
a
real
heartfelt
commitment
to
providing
affordable
housing
for
people
here
in
Buncombe
I've
spoken
to
that
in
other
forums.
T
The
hookers
are
proposing
a
place
where
three
small
houses
that
would
be
affordable
for
many
young
families
would
be
provided
and
available.
So
I
speak
first
of
all
as
a
proponent
of
affordable
housing.
Secondly,
with
all
due
respect
to
some
of
my
neighbors
I
think
their
proposal
would
fit
in
well
with
our
neighborhood,
the
meaning
behind
my
house.
There
are
three
single
wide
manufactured
homes.
What
we
used
to
call
trailers
that
fit
in
nicely
into
the
neighborhood
and
the
house
that
was
featured
at
220.
T
Eastwood
Drive
is
inside
of
my
front
porch.
It
is
a
very
small
house,
a
very
small
footprint,
two
rooms
on
three
levels
that
fits
incredibly
well
into
a
very
small
lot:
the
young
family
that
lives
there
were
able
to
buy
it
because
it
is
a
small
house
and
it
was
very
affordable
and
it
fits
into
our
neighborhood
beautifully.
It's
an
asset
looking
at
it
from
my
front
porch
and,
as
you
can
see,
we're
blessed
to
live
in
a
pretty
nice
house,
so
I
speak
that
it
does,
in
my
opinion,
fit
into
the
neighborhood.
T
And
thirdly,
I
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
hircus.
I'd,
never
met
them
until
a
previous
meeting
here
when
the
original
request
for
rezoning
came
up
and
I
met
with
mrs.
Yu,
her
Collura
after
the
meeting
out
in
the
hallway,
and
we
had
to
be
shushed
down,
because
my
preacher
voice
gets
a
little
loud
sometimes,
and
we
were
reminded
that
we
need
to
keep
it
down
that
you
all
were
still
meeting
but
miss
Yu
Hurka
was
very
open.
Your.
A
G
G
Missed
the
people
at
on
Brisco
kin,
Lantern
live
right
down
the
road
from
me.
Frank
and
Doris
Wright
live
right
up
the
road
from
you
know
all
these
people
that
lived
in
Grove
Mont.
They
worked
hard
for
their
money.
These
houses
weren't
just
for
rich
people,
even
though
it
is
grote
markt,
I,
grew
up
in
Grove
Mont
and
went
in
the
military.
G
It's
just
weird
I
mean
you're,
building
them
in
a
swamp,
you're,
building
them
right
next
to
a
creek,
you're
building
them
my
dad
and
my
mom
just
had
a
house.
They
were
trying
to
build
next
to
him
in
Grove
Mont
on
the
water
line
and
they
had
to
call
the
county
and
everybody
about
it,
and
the
house
that
they're
showing
next
to
them
I,
was
I
wash
the
house.
I
know
the
guy.
G
G
They
wouldn't
build
houses
in
those
places
and
they're
coming
in
here
and
they're
buying
these
houses
and
they're
taking
them
and
they're,
basically
cutting
them
up,
selling
off
the
properties
and
walking
away
with
a
pile
of
cash
and
the
people
that
lived
here
all
their
life
that
were
part
of
the
community.
They
can't
even
go
out
and
buy
another
house
for
the
same
money
because
it's
hyper-inflated
to
market.
You
know
I've,
said
and
had
conversations
with
my
dad
about
it
and
they
get
pretty
colorful.
G
Sometimes,
but
I
don't
I,
don't
see
a
win
in
this
deal.
I
even
mowed.
The
grass
down
the
road
by
this
property
and
Sunday
I
was
mowing
I
moaned
about
four
times
a
year
and
Sunday
I
was
mowing
this
lady
comes
by
me
in
a
car
and
I'm
going
up
by
hussies
house
and
all
of
a
sudden
she
doesn't
get
over.
Nothing
and
I
could
have
reached
out
and
touched
her
on
her
riding
lawnmower
I
like
to
myself.
Q
J
Q
U
My
name
is
Robert
York,
and
this
is
my
wife
Laura,
and
we
want
to
do
a
closing
statement
about
what
was
discussed
today
in
a
relationship
to
property.
I've
been
in
dialogue
with
North
Carolina
do
T
to
address
the
drainage
there,
we're
fine.
With
that
I've
been
in
dialogue
with
duck
sharp
about
the
drainage.
We
have
abided
by.
Everything
he's
directed
us
to
do
where
we're
trying
to
be
as
forthcoming
as
possible.
With
this
whole
project.
U
The
reason
we've
transferred
it
down
to
just
two
Lots
in
the
front
was
to
be
as
consistent
as
possible
with
what
remained
what
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
is.
So
we
made
that
choice
to
down
bring
it
down
from
three
Lots
to
two
in
order
to
just
make
sure
that
the
neighbors
felt
like
it
was
fitting
into
the
neighborhood
that
is
consistent
with
0.22
acres,
so
we're
trying
our
best
to
really
make
it
fit
the
way
that
they're
speaking
of
it,
keep
that
integrity
of
the
neighborhood.
My
wife
has
that's.
V
Great,
thank
you
chairman.
Thank
you
board.
Our
rezoning
request
includes
the
one
house
which
already
exists
and
if
you
noticed
on
the
survey,
it's
in
the
middle
of
the
upper
portion
and
we'll
be
keeping
that
land
with
that
house,
so
we're
not
planning
to
build
five.
We
want
to
build,
like
you
said
earlier,
the
two
more
on
the
bottom:
that's
it
they're
adjacent
to
the
r1
zoning,
so
it
just
continues.
V
What's
already
on
that,
Street
all
the
way
coming
up
to
that
property
line,
the
Lots
are
right
on
a
paved
State
Road,
with
access
to
city,
water
and
sewer
through
MSD.
There
was
some
confusion
that
we
wanted
to
rezone
the
upper
part
of
the
property
which
we
do
not.
We
didn't
ever
to
be
clear.
This
is
only
for
that
lower
piece
of
the
property
on
the
corner
right
on
the
road,
and
we
have
made
every
effort
we
can
to
work
with
the
community
and
to
hear
their
concerns.
V
That's
why
the
changes
that
happened
is
to
really
try
to
accommodate
and
honor
what
people
have
been
asking
for,
and
so
again
just
to
reiterate,
this
is
just
right
in
line
with.
What's
on
the
street,
and
we
have
the
city,
water
and
the
MSD
available,
and
thank
you
for
your
time
and
thinks
in
advance
for
your
approvals
of
our
request.
K
Thank
you
for
letting
me
come
up
after
the
windup
comment:
I,
don't
have
a
dog
in
this
fight.
I,
don't
live
in
Grove,
my
Dino
Grove
long,
but
I
do
have
a
dog
in
this
fight
because
I
have
a
master's
degree
in
environmental
systems.
Engineering,
and
this
is
DejaVu
brownie.
We
need
to
stop
and
run
off.
How
do
you
stop
running
off?
K
You
give
people
too
tax
incentive
to
bury
a
septic
tank
in
their
front
yard
and
collect
the
runoff
from
the
roof,
and
you
put
a
pump
on
there
to
use
that
rainwater
to
flush
your
commode.
The
craziest
thing
in
the
world
is
treating
drinking
water,
the
drinking
water
standards
and
using
it
to
flush
your
crap
down,
stupid
idiotic,
so
give
the
people
an
incentive
to
do
that.
K
K
Y'all!
Don't
have
enough
information
there
not
to
make
a
decision
on
this.
You
probably
will
but
I
think
you
need
to
put
it
off
and
I'll
give
you
a
list
of
questions.
I'll
meet
with
you
personally
I'll
go
to
the
site
with
you
and
we'll
give
you
a
list
of
questions
you
need
to
put
in
the
specs
that
go
with
the
deed,
so
if
they
sell
it
guess
what
the
person
who
gets
it
you've
already
put
your
homework
in
and
you've
already
put
it
in.
Writing.
That's
why
I
said
I.
K
A
Commission
members,
any
questions
or
motion
I
would
just
I
would
just
want
to
you
know.
We
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
we
are
voting
on
a
straight
rezoning.
So
there's
been
discussion
about
specific
plans.
We
are
not
reviewing
a
site
plan
here
tonight.
We're
not
reviewing
a
subdivision
plan.
There's
been
discussion
about
it
and
different
ideas
from
different
folks
shared
about
that.
But
the
question
before
the
Commission
is
whether
two
reasons
property
in
a
straight
reasoning
fashion
or
to
or
to
not
do
that,
and
that's
the
only
question
before
us
today.
All.
W
V
R
E
B
A
M
Addition
to
what
I
said
just
to
be
clear,
the
reason
the
entire
property
is
14
acres.
That
is
the
parcel
right
now.
I
can't
speak
to
what's
on
the
market,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
the
the
application
that
we,
the
the
the
site
plan
that
you've
seen
on
the
screen
tonight,
that
is
also
an
application
that
we've
received
for
an
actual
minor
subdivision
to
create
those
three
Lots
which
includes
the
existing
house
depending
on
the
outcome
of
this
hearing
tonight.
M
If
the
board
chooses
to
approve
this,
the
applicant
could
then
proceed
with
the
final
steps
in
getting
approval
for
that
amount
of
subdivision
which
would
allow
all
three
of
those
Lots
or
none
of
them
to
be
sold.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
right
now,
there's
only
one
parcel
and
it's
14
acres,
so.
A
A
D
So
they
don't
question
yeah.
Well,
probably
just
one
question,
but
you
know
as
far
as
the
as
far
as
the
muddin
road
and
the
you
know,
steel
fences
and
I
mean
Buncombe.
County
got
pretty
stiff,
I
mean
there's,
probably
some
people
in
the
room.
It
can
raise
their
hand,
including
me,
that's
it's
said,
fix
your
silt
fence
or
you
know.
Have
your
church
fixer
self-insert
put
more
up?
Can
somebody
speak
to
that?
I
mean
you
know?
Surely
we
we
have
in
place
things
that
would
would
help
prevent
that
sure.
X
So
Doug
sharp
is
our
erosion
control
officer.
He
would
look
at
anything
related
to
mud
in
the
road.
My
Goodson
is
a
public
engineer,
who's
on
our
staff
as
well
he's
our
stormwater
engineer
and
the
two
are
independent
of
each
other
but
related.
So
an
erosion
permit
is
separate
from
a
stormwater
permit.
A
stormwater
permit
itself
usually
comes
into
play
when
you
disturb
one
acre
or
more
typically,
what
that
means
is,
when
you
have
say,
an
apartment
project
or
multiple
Lots
that
are
being
developed
by
the
same
developer
or
builder.
X
There
is
the
potential
here
based
on
what
the
you
haircuts
choose
to
do,
that
they
might
sell
these
Lots
independently,
say
to
a
different
person
and
they
may
build
their
own
independent
home
and
not
necessarily
trigger
a
full-blown
stormwater
permit,
but
the
trigger
for
a
stormwater
permit
is
one
acre.
The
trigger
for
an
erosion
control
permit
is
one
acre
and
that's
related
to
the
overall
disturbance.
Now
what
that
means,
though,
is
if
we
find
that
soil
is
washing
out
into
a
road.
A
D
Right
you
gonna,
speak
okay,
all
right!
Well,
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
to
approve
on
the
the
reason
is
you
know
when
I
look
at
the
the
the
adjoining
properties?
You
know
it
appears
to
me
that
you
know
Ford
at
four
to
five
would
be
the
maximum
amount
houses
to
be
able
to
put
in
that
area,
and
we
do
have.
You
know,
split
opinions
tonight
as
we
do
and
a
lot
of
the
zoning
issues,
but
I
would
I
would
move
approval.
Okay,.
A
B
W
F
D
No
be
detrimental
owners
adjacent
neighbors,
the
surrounding
community,
as
it
does
know
as
it
does
meet
a
number
of
goals,
has
identified
Buncombe
County,
comprehensive,
Land,
Use,
Plan
Update.
Therefore,
the
request
zoning
would
be
reasonable
and
in
public
interest.
Okay.
So
that's
the
motion.
Good
job
Thanks.
A
A
You
know,
subdivisions
of
the
larger
of
the
parcel
and
the
smaller
parcels,
but
to
be
clear,
the
rezoning
of
the
property
is
just
a
straight
rezoning,
so
there
is
no
site
plan,
that's
for
review
by
the
County
Commission
or
before
the
Planning
Board
at
this
time.
So
any
plans
that
have
been
shown,
whether
you
love
them
or
you
don't
love
them.
They
could
all
be
withdrawn.
M
Yes,
sorry,
so
if
you
take
the
1.05
acres,
that's
proposed
for
the
Riesling
convert
that
square
footage
and
then
divided
by
8,000
square
feet,
which
is
the
minimum
lot
size
for
a
single-family
residential
homes.
The
math
works
out
to
5.2
houses,
so
we
round
down
so
five
houses
under
a
single-family
development
format.
That
is
absolutely
all
you
can
do
on
this
property,
and
that
is
not
speculation.
That's
the
law
today,
I'm,
sorry,
five!
Where
did
I
say
sorry,
five
is
all
you
can
do
under
the
law
for
single-family
residential.
M
It
works
out
to
a
maximum
of
ten
dwelling
units
per
acre
in
theory
on
one
acre.
So
so
you
have
that
that
ten
potential,
which
is,
which
is
the
potential,
is
obviously
modified
by
the
reality
of
the
ground,
but
there's
what
no
way
for
us
to
know
what
that
really
is,
until
you
do
a
real
site
plan,
so
I'm
my
analysis
looks
at
it
as
a
straight
one
to
one
comparison
of
rld
to
our
one
single-family
residential.
Under
that
format.
That's
all
you
can
get
five.
X
One
other
way
we
might
think
about
it
tonight
is
doing
just
the
straight
math.
It's
five
Lots
five
Lots
in
Kansas,
maybe
where
it's
completely
flat,
given
our
realities,
let's
look
at
it
in
terms
of
the
configurations.
Perhaps
you
might
need
a
shared
driveway.
Something
like
that
now.
The
one
thing
to
keep
in
mind,
though,
is
you
might
have
five
Lots
and
you
might
build
a
single-family
home,
but
you
might
have
a
garage
apartment.
X
You
might
have
another
unit
because
remember
in
all
of
our
districts
except
beaver
dam,
you
can
do
two
now
on
a
smaller
lot.
What
does
that
translate
to
maybe
a
smaller
secondary
unit,
but
the
reality
is
five:
Lots
could
potentially
be
ten
homes,
I
think
what
josh
is
driving
at
is
in
r1.
There
is
the
potential
for
a
Planned
Unit
development,
and
that
might
be
something
small
like
a
cottage
development,
but
at
the
same
time
this
is
not
a
development
application
and
we
simply
don't
know.
A
And,
and
and
under
our
County's
land
use
policy,
they
would
not
be
allowed.
You
know
they
would
not
be
allowed
to
present
that
kind
of
plan,
because
the
property
is
currently
not
zoned
for
it.
So
it's
not
I.
Don't
think
that
it's
that
the
property
owners
are
wouldn't
want
to
show
that
if
they
do
want
to
do
they
actually
under
our
process,
where
we
don't
have
conditional
zoning
they
they
could
not
do
that
right.
So
this
is.
This
is
they're
going
through
the
process
that
you
know
our
our
system
allows.
A
So
I'll,
just
I'll,
just
make
a
few
comments
on
this
I
think
this
is,
you
know
some
some
projects
come
in
front
of
us
and
you
know
kind
of
right
from
the
start
like
this
is
I'm
all
for
this
or
you
see
it,
and
you
say
this
is
not
a
great
idea.
I'm
definitely
gonna
vote
against
it.
I
feel
like
this
is
one
of
these
judgment
calls
honestly.
A
There
is
water
and
sewer
right
on-site,
which
you
know
our
land
use
plan
points
towards
the
r-1
being
appropriate,
for
that
I
certainly
would
not
have
supported
rezoning
the
whole
property,
but
you
know
it's:
it's
there's.
Certainly
some
topography
there
I
mean
I,
think
we're
all
concerned
about
it.
You
know
making
sure
there's
not
a
building
on
slopes
is
not
is
not
easy
to
do
it
right.
So
I
think
those
are
all
legitimate
concerns,
but
I'm
I'm
just
coming
down
on
the
fact
that
I,
my
belief
is
that
the
outcome
will
be
a
small
development.
B
A
E
E
Y
A
E
Q
D
A
M
Thank
you.
So
the
next
application
is
zoning.
Public
hearing,
2019
29
McDonald
zoning
map
amendment
this
application.
This
public
hearing
was
advertised
in
accordance
with
state
law
and
County
code.
The
dates
before
you
represent
the
public
hearing
notification
process
that
staff
went
through
the
applicant
is
Lois
McDonald
and
her
family.
The
number
of
applicants
are
too
numerous
to
mention
so
I'm,
just
gonna
go
with
Lois
tonight.
The
address
is
569
and
571
long,
Shoals,
Road
and
Arden
subject:
property
is
6.39.
M
Acres
in
size
currently
has
one
single
family
residential
home
on
the
property,
and
it
is
serviceable
about
public
water
and
sewer.
The
current
zoning
is
our
two
residential,
which
is
our
medium
density.
Residential
zoning
district.
The
proposed
rezoning,
would
take
the
property
and
I'm
apologize.
I
have
the
wrong
label
here.
It
with
the
proposed
rezoning
is
for
neighborhood
service,
not
EMP
neighborhood
service,
which
is
on
the
right-hand
side,
shows
the
brown
that
would
be
the
boundary
of
the
existing
neighborhood
service
after
the
after
approval.
M
If
it's
granted,
the
differences
between
these
two
districts
are
two
is
very
similar
to
our
one
and
even
our
LD
in
terms
of
the
range
of
allowable
uses,
primarily
single-family,
although
it
does
allow
for
a
range
of
single-family
multifamily
type
uses
in
a
very
limited
range
of
institutional
type
of
uses,
such
as
churches,
home
occupations.
Things
like
that
neighborhood
service
is
our
lowest
intensity
commercial
district.
M
If
you
will
it's
a
transitional
district
between
residential
and
commercial,
primarily
a
single,
a
multi-family
residential
type
district,
but
it
also
does
a
law
allow
a
range
of
institutional
uses
and
some
like
commercial,
so
it
allows
retail.
It
also
allows
restaurants.
The
majority
of
of
uses
that
would
be
different
from
the
current
zoning
would
be
things
like
banks,
veterinary
clinics,
medical
offices,
things
like
that
in
terms
of
neighborhood
consistency,
keep
making
this
mistake
of
EMP
I
apologize
anyway.
Let
me
just
jump
straight
to
the
table.
M
The
table
basically
illustrates
the
the
lot
size
of
differentials,
setback
differentials
and
really
they're,
almost
identical
in
terms
of
the
minimum
lot
sizes
under
water
and
sewer.
Well
and
septic
setbacks
are
exactly
identical.
Maximum
building
heights
are
exactly
identical,
so
the
change
that
you're
looking
at
is
really
one
of
the
allowable
land
uses
some
views
of
the
property
from
different
perspectives.
This
is
looking
north
across
the
property
and
you
can
see
that-
and
this
is
a
2005
I
believe
this
is
a
2017
photograph
and
it
shows
that
the
property
is
primarily
undeveloped.
M
M
You're
looking
east
in
this
image
land-use
analysis,
this
actually
fits
every
single
one
of
your
land
use
plan
considerations,
except
that
it
is
not
separated
from
low-density
residential
staff
would
would
posit
that
this
is
the
right
kind
of
district
if
you're
transitioning
from
low
density
residential
to
some
sort
of
lighting
light
commercial
type
use,
but
it
does
in
fact
not
meet
that
one
criteria-
recommendations
the
Planning
Board
recommends.
Approval
is
submitted
by
unanimous
vote
and
that's
consistent
with
staffs
recommendation,
which
is
approval,
is
submitted.
I'd,
be
happy
to
take
questions.
A
E
F
The
proposed
map
amendment
would
not
be
detrimental
to
the
owners
adjacent
neighbors
and
surrounding
community,
as
it
does
meet
a
number
of
goals,
as
identified
in
the
Buncombe
County
comprehensive,
Land,
Use
Plan.
Therefore,
the
requested
zoning
would
be
reasonable
and
in
the
public
interest.
Second,.
E
U
M
Okay-
okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
So
the
final
public
hearing
before
you
tonight
for
a
rezoning
would
be
application.
Number
31,
Higgins,
/
regal
case
number
is
2019
31.
It
was
advertised
in
accordance
with
North
Coast,
a
chude
sand,
County
Code,
the
applicant
is
Miss
Rebecca
regal
of
novel
life
LLC
the
owner
is
Glenn
and
Deborah
Higgins.
M
The
address
is
1854
Brevard
Road
subject:
property
is
1.1
six
acres
in
size,
one
commercial
structure
which
I
believe
is
currently
used
as
a
restaurant
on
the
property,
it's
actually
two
properties
being
considered
as
one
application
and
the
existing
restaurant
uses
both
properties
right
now
for
the
building
in
the
parking
and
it
is
currently
serviceable
and
is
currently
served
by
public
water
and
sewer.
This
map
gives
you
a
potential
before
and
after
so
the
current
zoning
is
our
the
requested.
M
Rezoning
is
EMP,
as
shown
on
the
right
hand,
side
the
R
I've
already
in
my
previous
heat
and
the
previous
hearing,
I
explained
the
different,
the
district
intent.
It's
really
medium
density,
single-family
and
modern
multi-family
residential
development.
Emp
is
your
essentially
your
most
intensive
commercial
zoning
district
/
industrial
zoning
district.
It's
an
area
to
provide
concentrations
of
employment.
M
An
area
is
suitable
for
community
service,
commercial
services
and
residential
uses
along
areas
served
by
water
and
sewer
a
major
transportation
corridors
very
different
range
of
allowable
land
uses,
although
similar
to
the
previous
rezoning,
the
the
property
size
requirements
and
setbacks
are
essentially
the
same.
The
big
physical
difference
here
is
that
we
go
from
a
maximum
building
height
of
35
feet
under
the
current
zoning
to
a
maximum
building
height
of
90
feet
under
under
EMP
perspectives
from
different
directions.
M
D
T
Y
D
M
M
M
Emp
is
is,
is
both
commercial
and
manufacturing
in
terms
of
its
intent,
what
it's
trying
to
serve,
so
it
covers
a
range
of
things
from
from
restaurants.
All
the
way
through
you
know,
small
factories
that
might
produce
products
such
as
paper
so
in
in
your
industrial
land
uses
that
are
contemplated.
Some
of
those
uses
require
taller
structures
for
part
of
the
manufacturing
process.
Also,
it
allows
for
multi-story
mixed-use,
residential
and
commercial
buildings,
so
it
is
your
most
intensive
district
and
it
allows
for
any
type
of
land-use
that
might
need
to
go
to
the
height.
M
D
M
M
So
the
90
feet
again
represents
a
potential.
So
if
a
land
use
were
to
want
to
locate
it
anywhere
in
the
county,
that's
EMP
zoned
and
they
needed
that
90
feet.
They
would
be
allowed
to
do
that
by
right,
I
can't
think
of
a
single
use
in
the
county
unless
you're
fact
around
smokestacks
and
things
like
that.
That
might
be
tied
to
a
use
to
go
to
that
height.
Probably
only
thing
I
can
actually
think
of
what
might
be
the
Duke
Energy
facility
with
the
the
steam
discharge
stacks
on
that
property
down.
D
M
X
So
to
put
that
in
context,
if
you
look
historically
at
what
EMP
did
and
that
is
gonna-
be
your
traditional
manufacturing,
you
might
have
a
specialized
industry.
So,
for
instance,
I'm
gonna
give
you
one
in
Tennessee,
Alcoa,
aluminum
and
Alcoa.
Aluminum
has
a
very
odd,
and
this
is
an
Alcoa
Tennessee.
They
have
a
very
odd
a
pertinence
that
goes
up
or
the
rest
of
the
building
is
flat.
Those
are
to
accommodate
these
large
coils
of
aluminum
that
have
such
a
tall
height
that
they
need
an
appurtenance
such
as
that
the
90
feet
is
really
there.
X
If
an
industry
were
to
come
that
it's
available
to
them,
but
it's
not
necessarily
meaning
that
they
would
go
to
that
height.
Another
piece
of
information
on
this
particular
property.
This
actually
corrects
what
has
been
a
non-conforming
use,
meaning
one
that
doesn't
really
should
not
be
in
a
residential
district
they're
under
a
non-conforming
use.
That
means
that
they're
limited
in
their
expansion
ability.
So
if
the
restaurant
wanted
to
expand
or
create
a
new
parking
area
or
something
to
that
effect,
that
would
be
very
limited
if
this
was
approved.
X
This
would
allow
them
to
expand
the
restaurant
or
change
the
parking
lot
things
of
that
nature.
So
what
we
have
to
do,
though,
is
look
at
the
surrounding
zoning
districts
and
find
a
district
that
matches
well.
The
employment
was
pretty
much
all
around
it.
So
that's
why
we
had
to
consider
that
district.
D
I'd
just
be
a
whole
lot
more
worried
about
a
90-foot
high
building
than
I
would
two
or
three
tiny
homes.
In
my
back
yard,
I
mean
that's,
that's
one
of
the
challenges
you
get
when
you're
talking
about
you
know
zoning.
You
won't!
You
know
we
paint
that
whole
EMP
brush
and
included
in
that
isn't,
there's
a
potential
for
a
90
foot.
Building
on
there
I
know
they're
not
going
to
do
that,
but
on
the
front
of
the
you
know
on
that
main
highway,
but.
D
A
D
X
D
I
think
you
know,
you
know
I
hope,
I'm
gonna
get
off
my
soapbox,
but
you
know,
as
far
to
me,
a
90
foot
building
is
more
of
an
exception
and
there
ought
to
be
a
way
to
deal
with
an
exception
instead
of
it
being
included
in
all
this.
You
know
this
EMP
to
me,
you
know,
I
mean
it
falls
into
I.
Guess
it's
conditional
use
is
that
it.
X
What
happened
was
at
the
time,
so
zoning
turns
10
years
old
in
December
and
at
the
time
probably
we
looked
at
the
county.
We
found
an
instance
where
there
might
have
been
a
90
foot
section
of
a
building,
a
smokestack
something
to
that
effect,
and
so
it
was
just
captured
at
that
height,
but
we
could
certainly
examine
that.
We
move
forward
with
our
strategic
and
our
comprehensive
planning
in
terms
of
what
we
might
want
to
how
we
might
want
to
adjust
some
of
the
districts
moving
for.
You
did.
M
Thank
you.
Emp
allows
a
broad
range
of
the
uses,
everything
from
residential
through
virtually
any
type
of
commercial.
You
could
think
of
all
the
way
to
some
of
your
heaviest
manufacturing,
so
so
an
example
manufacturing
would
be
like
mining,
coal,
mining
or
you
know,
Rock
querying
things
like
that.
Sometimes
you
have
larger
processing
structures
that
might
creep
up
above
your
35
foot
level.
That's
one
example
that
would
actually
require
conditional
use
permit
on
the
commercial
range
yeah
you
could
in
theory.
M
M
K
K
There
is
a
simple
solution
to
everything
that
you
all
have
faced
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
give
it
to
you:
I've
been
showing
you
problems
for
20
years,
which
you
didn't
listen
until
some
people
got
arrested,
so
maybe
I
need
to
put
a
suit
on
take
my
hat
off.
You
might
listen,
but
I'm
not
going
to
I'll.
Just
tell
you
the
truth.
All
you
need
to
do
is
to
pass
a
rule
that
you
can
do
zoning
based
up
on
a
site
plan
just
like
tonight.
K
K
Y
F
A
Z
Just
real
quick,
they
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
board
and
to
the
staff
for
the
time
we
spent
last
week,
this
29th
and
the
30th
on
our
plan
for
strategic
planning.
We
will
come
back
to
you
next
meeting
on
8:20
to
give
you
a
preliminary
draft
for
what
we
have
and
to
give
you
an
update
so
and
their
pre
meeting
under
20
it'll
be
back
to
you
again
on
the
next
step,
sort
of
strategic
plan,
all.
A
AA
Good
evening,
mr.
chairman
and
commissioners,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
information
to
you
this
evening.
I'll
be
brief
with
an
introduction
to
the
item
and
then
invite
Andy
Barnett,
the
executive
director
of
Asheville
Area
Habitat
for
Humanity
to
speak
and
describe
and
detail
the
project,
but
basically
the
recommendation
that
is
before
you
is
to
authorize
a
community
to
community
development
loan
agreement
and
enter
into
and
execute
the
Associated
promissory
note
in
deed
of
trust
for
the
old
Haywood
Road
neighborhood
phase,
one
development.
AA
This
is
the
second
award
that
would
have
been
considered
for
this
project.
The
first
having
been
a
prior
approved
award
through
the
affordable
housing
services
program.
The
funding
for
this
project
was
included
in
the
FY
2020
budget
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Andy
Barnett
and
have
the
presentation
pulled
up
for
you
so
that
he
can
walk
you
through
the
details
of
the
project
and
then
I'll
provide
some
closing
information
to
the
board
as
well.
AB
Good
evening,
mr.
Newman
chairman,
even
commissioners,
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
on
this
project
tonight,
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
the
board
for
really
showing
some
bold
leadership
around
affordable
housing,
both
on
the
creation
of
the
affordable
housing
subcommittee
and
in
the
budget
allocation
for
affordable
housing.
This
year,
funding
much-needed
housing
for
families
across
the
the
income
spectrum
in
in
Buncombe
County
all
different
types
of
housing,
so
appreciate
your
leadership
there.
AB
AB
AB
It's
a
beautiful
setting
and
a
very
convenient
setting,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
from
the
map
on
the
screen,
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
this
side
is
to
really
expand
the
type
of
housing
that
habitat
is
building
so
that
more
more
of
the
different
kinds
of
families
in
Buncombe
County
that
struggle
with
affordable
housing
can
find
a
great
fit
for
for
a
home
for
themselves.
So
this
this
site
will
be
a
mix
of
single-family
of
town
homes,
of
some
units,
particularly
oriented
for
for
older
adults.
AB
We
got
underway
on
this
back
in
the
spring.
We
are
deep
into
what
is
an
extensive
site
development
phase
on
this
project.
Again,
it's
a
20,
acre
project,
we'll
be
extending
roads
and
sewer
doing
quite
a
bit
of
grading
to
make
sure
that
this
fits
in
with
the
topography
of
the
the
surrounding
area,
and
this
first
place
gets
built
out
over
the
next
few
years,
completed
in
2023.
AB
This
is
a
this
first
phase
of
of
this
total
project
is
38
will
be
38
homes,
it's
about
a
seven
million
dollar
phase,
one
of
about
a
15
million
dollar
total
project,
and
what
we're
asking
the
board
to
consider
tonight
is
providing
six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
to
help
make
sure
these
units
remain
affordable
to
folks
below
80%
of
area
median
income.
But
I
will
say
that
the
habitats,
typical
typical
borrower,
typical
homeowner,
is
well
below
60%
of
area
median
income.
AB
So
we'd
ask
for
your
consideration,
for,
for
this,
and
I'm
can
hand
this
back
to
to
Matt,
but
we'll
leave
you
with
a
reminder
that
the
group,
one
of
the
great
things
about
affordable
homeownership,
is
that
you
get
property
taxes
back
from
this
to
the
tune
of
about
$60,000
a
year
from
phase
one
alone.
So
this
will
pay
itself
back
in
in
just
under
12
years,
but
we
don't
do
it.
AB
For
that
reason,
we
do
it
because
we
know
that
when
families
are
safe
and
stable
housed,
it
increases
the
the
health
and
economic
vitality
of
our
community,
it's
better
for
kids
and
school.
It's
better
for
all
of
the
sir
sets
the
foundation
for
all
the
great
things
that
we
won't
for
for
our
neighbors
in
Buncombe
County.
So
we
do
it.
For
that
reason,
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
Matt.
Thank
you.
AA
And
and
a
couple
more
slides
here
that
I'll
review
with
you
and
they
detail
the
existing
approved
loan.
So,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
this
project
did
receive
affordable
housing
services
program
funding
through
the
FY
19
allocations
process,
habitat
did
request
more
funds
than
were
allocated,
but,
of
course,
as
those
projects
are
considered,
we
balance
out
the
various
requests
and
the
amount
that
was
awarded
was
200
and
excuse
me
240
thousand
dollars
for
that
project
that
included
a
construction
loan
portion.
AA
So
the
request
that
was
brought
back
for
this
project
was
for
an
additional
six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
in
funding.
That
would
be
all
in
the
form
of
downpayment
assistance,
so
the
first
24
units
would
to
have
additional
funding
of
sixteen
thousand
seven
hundred
dollars
per
unit
available
for
a
total
of
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
support
for
the
first
units,
one
through
twenty
four
with
another
twenty
thousand
dollars
per
unit
and
support
for
units
25
through
38.
AA
The
project
was
taken
before
the
Affordable
Housing
Committee,
who
made
a
positive
recommendation
to
bring
this
before
the
board
for
consideration
and
approval.
Your
packet,
as
I
mentioned,
does
include
the
community
development
loan
agreement
and
provides
a
detailed
scope
as
the
attachment
to
that
agreement.
It's
our
standard
agreement
that
agreement
was
prepared
by
county
legal
and
has
been
reviewed
by
Habitat
for
Humanity
as
an
acceptable
form
to
them
as
well.
Should
the
board
take
action
and
decide
to
move
forward
on
this
item?
A
A
T
Retired
preacher,
what
kind
of
see
an
open
mic
is
just
too
much
of
a
temptation
when
it's
something
I'm
passionate
about
I
referred
earlier
to
my
growing
up
in
West,
Asheville,
technically
I
realize
this
is
outside
the
see
limit.
But
it's
awfully
close
and
if
you
pass
this
there's
going
to
be
more
reason
to
say:
well,
West
Asheville
used
to
be
affordable
and
most
of
it
still
in
but
Browning
outside
the
state
limit,
there's
some
possibilities
so
that
excites
me
and
I'm,
throwing
my
two
cents
worth.
For
that
reason,
all.
A
X
A
N
T
K
I
see
200,000
up
here
on
the
MCC
F,
that
was
2019,
but
we
heard
he
was
2020
and
then
I
see.
Six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
here
and
I
saw
two
million
go
to
Swannanoa.
So
you
know
what
my
question
is,
which
will
be
addressed,
what
line
items
this
is
680
come
from
and
how
much
more
is
in
reserve
there
for
affordable
housing.
So
we
can
monitor
how
many
dollars
we
put
in
affordable
housing.
So
that's
my
question:
I
think
they
should
be
given
and
those
answers
should
be
given
publicly.
A
Q
Q
Q
Q
Of
that
call
it
a
loan
call
it
anything
you
want
to
call
it
all.
It
is.
Is
the
taxpayers
money
goes
back
to
the
same
thing
again
little
man's
wanting
to
know
if
he
can
still
have
peanut
butter
and
jelly
sandwich
together
or
we
take
them
to
jail
he
away
from
him
much
likely
we
are
in,
certainly
so
until
we
can
figure
out
not
just
with
the
nonprofit
walking
through
the
door.
Q
How
that
we
can
make
something
work
as
it
should,
because
there
is
people
in
this
county
that
round
homes
and
I,
don't
know
if
Don's
as
close
or
not,
but
they
rent
them
for
less
than
what
people
are
paying
down.
$200
less
than
people
are
paying
on
April
Street
there'll
be
two
hundred
dollars
less
than
ones
and
Swannanoa
and
that's
affordable.
These
people
are
businesspeople
that
pay
taxes
on
the
money
that
they
take
in
from
their
apartments.
Q
Let's
call
them,
we
don't
call
them
affordable,
but
there's
departments
can
they
go
up
on
the
rent
and
call
it
affordable,
I'm,
just
not
going
to
vote
for
any
of
this
now
until
we
can
figure
out
what
is
affordable,
whose
how
the
rent
stabilizes
who's
charging
want.
Rent
we've
got
people
here
that
make
a
living
a
good
living
with
$200
less
time
on
a
month
and
they
actually
someone
furnish
the
water
and
the
sword.
So
you
know
habitat
you,
do
a
great
job,
you're,
just
a
little
behind
mountain
housing.
Mountain
hasn't
hasn't.
Q
Given
me
any
information
that
I've
asked
for
you
know
habitat.
You
know
we
give
all
kinds
of
money
to
fix
people's
homes
up.
We
give
it
to
everybody
to
fix
people's
homes
up
how
many
homes
has
been
fixed
up.
I've
still
got
a
car
sitting
up
here.
Waiting
for
an
answer,
don't
have
an
answer.
We
only
give
them
a
quarter
million
dollars
a
year
to
do
it
with
so
until
I
see
some
answers
with
this,
because
we
have
people
that
make
less
money
renting
property
than
we
do
with
the
people
that
don't
pay
taxes.
Q
A
All
right
thanks
so
much
further
discussion,
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
hi
all
opposed
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
We,
this
is
a,
is
a
great
project.
We
really
appreciate
everything
you
guys
are
doing
and
we're
glad
to
be
a
partner
in
this
project.
It
does
provide
permanent,
affordable
homeownership
for
for
working
families
in
our
community
and
does
pay
taxes.
So
it's
a
great
it's
a
great
project
and
we're
excited
that
you
brought
it
to
us
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing
about
it
as
it
moves
forward.
So
thanks
thanks
so
much
wrong.
A
L
Good
evening,
chairman
and
commissioners,
so
this
evening
we
bring
I'm
one
new
business
budget.
Amendment
item
before
you
on
June
19
2018,
the
board
approved
a
general
fund
transfer
amount
which
included
$60,000
committed
for
the
reims
Creek
Greenway
project.
The
$60,000
is
an
already
budgeted
county
match
for
the
rain
squeak
Creek
Greenway
project.
L
We
we
have
a
need
to
budget
the
remainder
of
the
cost
of
that
project,
I'm
to
bring
it
to
a
total
of
$600,000.
L
Today
we
are
bringing
to
you
or
request
to
approve
a
budget
amendment
that
establishes
the
remainder
of
the
project,
expense
dollars,
as
well
as
the
revenues
totaling
five
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
each
Buncombe
County
has
been
awarded
four
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
from
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation,
and
the
town
of
Weaverville
has
additionally
committed
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
the
project.
These
two
amounts
total
the
remaining
five
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
needed.
No
additional
County
dollars
are
required
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
provide
a
moment
for
Josh
O'connor.
AC
So
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
run
you
through
next
steps
on
the
project
following
your
approval
tonight.
This
will
start
the
process
of
an
agreement
with
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation
will
then
use
North,
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation's
local
project
management
tool
to
coordinate
with
them,
which
will
include
us
seeking
out
qualified
contractors
to
initiate
design
on
the
project.
We
anticipate
that
we'll
be
able
to
start
that
within
the
next
three
to
six
months,
hopefully
on
the
the
quicker
end.
This
will
allow
us
to
engage
that
that
process.
AC
We
will
work
within
CBO
to
you
to
put
out
a
set
of
bid,
specifications
and
then
receive
qualified
bidders
through
their
process
and
then
go
through
design.
The
timeline
for
design
is
at
least
12
months,
and
at
that
point
we
should
have
documents
that
are
relatively
close
to
construction
ready
so
that
the
town
of
Weaverville
and
I
can
pursue
additional
funding
to
actually
pursue
construction
of
the
screen
way.
So
if
there
are
any
questions,
I
can
attempt
to
answer
those
at
this
time.
A
K
Ya
can't
pass
up
an
opportunity.
Do
t
given
money
for
greenways
with
the
streets
in
the
shape
they
are
this
area
I
just
want
that
registered
and
recorded
in
this
public
hearing
that
is
asinine
folks
putting
that
kind
of
money
when
there's
a
hole
in
the
ribs
Creek
Bridge
that
constantly
has
been
falling
through
for
about
eight
years.
K
This
little
hole
develops
in
the
bridge,
goes
down
about
2,
inches,
2,
inches,
2,
inches,
they'll
fill
it
go
down
again.
You
doubt
me,
go
out
there
and
riding
across
the
bridge
and,
if
you're
out
across
after
they
fix
it
as
smooth.
If
you
ride
across
when
it's
the
only
way
down,
it's
a
balloon,
so
I
think
d-o-t
needs
some
information
and
I
will
be
talking
to
our
local
delegation.
Thank
you.
A
D
F
AD
A

A
A
Anybody
else
want
to
advocate
for
interviews,
if
not
we're
gonna,
just
reschedule
this
one
for
the
next
meeting,
all
right,
we'll
just
move
this
one
to
the
next
meeting,
yeah
all
right.
Okay,
so
we
come
to
public
comment.
The
time
limit
for
individual
members
to
drink.
This
part
of
public
comment
is

minutes.
Any
members
of
the
public
