    RECESS AND RECONVENE

    PUBLIC HEARINGS

    Special Exception 2016-03

    Dave Kretz, Interim Planning Director, presented this application for approval to construct a utility barn on an adjoining lot immediately across a right-of-way from the lot containing a principal building in the Residential Zoning District. The principal building is located at Tax Map 45-7-H-8, 37 Birch Tree Trace in Deltaville, with the vacant lot at 45-7-H-9. Approval requires compliance with zoning ordinance requirements found in Section 15-24.1-6, which includes recording a deed covenant that the lots be sold or transferred together, or recording of a memorandum of understanding stipulating that the accessory structure shall be removed from the adjoining lot if only one of the lots is sold. Mr. Kretz explained that this was the only condition that is currently not fulfilled. Conditional approval was recommended by the Planning Commission.

    Mr. Miller opened the hearing for comments from the public. There being no comments, the public portion of the hearing was closed. The motion to approve the application as recommended and with the following conditions was made by Mr. Holt, seconded by Mr. Jessie and carried unanimously:

    1. The use shall meet the criteria of Section 15-24 and any other zoning or building code requirements, and

    2. The submitted memorandum of understanding shall be legally recorded prior to the issuance of any Zoning or Building Permit for the proposed utility barn.

    Capital Improvement Plan

    Mr. Kretz presented the proposed Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2017-2021 that has been prepared by the Planning Commission. The Board and public were reminded that this was only a plan, and should not be a taken as approval for any projects.

    Mr. Miller opened the hearing for comments from the public. Robert Jackson questioned why the wastewater collection system is only being proposed for the Deltaville area and asked that the Route 17 corridor be considered. Mr. Jackson also

    Page 7

  • BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES NOVEMBER 1, 2016

    Page 6

    voiced his opposition to lighting at the Syd Thrift Complex, and questioned if funded, is the Board putting sports ahead of education.

    There being no further comments, the public portion of the hearing was closed. Mr. Walker noted that a public water system was not on the plan because there are no dollar figures available yet. He did however add that this will probably be part of budget discussions for the FY 18 budget. Mr. LeBoeuf noted that the Capital Facilities Inventory was not included as Appendix B.

    The motion to approve the Capital Improvement Plan for 2017-2021 was made by Mr. LeBoeuf, seconded by Mr. Jessie and carried unanimously.

    Mr. LeBoeuf's Comments:

    Mr. LeBoeuf explained a proposed tool developed to correlate capital improvement projects to the budget. This tool will plot principal and debt service and allow the Board to estimate how much money will be needed per year to fund capital projects and to see what the tax rate will need to be to pay for them. With interest rates at their lowest, Mr. LeBoeuf noted that the time may never be better to start a lot of these projects.

    PUBLIC COMMENT

    Ed Robins questioned what the driving factor for the Board to bring water to Deltaville is, if the citizens of Deltaville do not seem to want it, as evidenced by the low turnout of subscribers. Who does the Board hope to attract to build the tax base and if water and sewer is installed, how long do you expect it to take to break even on the expense? Mr. Robins also expressed his support in keeping the boat tax.

    ADJOURN

    There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned until the regular meeting scheduled for December 6, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. This motion was made by Mr. LeBoeuf, seconded by Mr. Jessie and carried unanimously.

    Muncy; Matt Walker; Frank A. Pleva; Jason Bellows Subject: Re: FW: NEW PROJECT SCC Norris Bridge Supplement 16-223S

    Matt, Betty et.al.,

    I testified at the public meeting three or four months ago and offered what is called

    Barnhardt Option 2. After the public meeting the two SCC hearing officers called for

    Dominion Power to study these two options and required the SCC to delay the hearing by

    about 6 months while this study was made.

    Dominion Power has historically stated that they were against other methods of crossing

    due to the costs, but it would appear that Option 2 should be the less expensive option

    (since the power company would not be required to build 8 towers), Option 2 would

    simply lay the cable along the river bottom (it would be trenched in). Note: this Option

    was used to run power along the bottom of a commercial waterway for about 200 miles

    so it must have some economic benefits.

    Dominion Power has estimated the cost of this option at 92.3 million, but did not itemize

    the costs, and Option 2 included a redundant set of cables which I do not believe was

    included in the tower version which is Dominion's pick. Also I believe this is Dominion's

    estimation, not the cost for a turnkey estimate by a company that contracts this type work.

    I would like to respond to the SCC at the next Board Meeting (December 6th.)

    Thanks, Pete Mansfield.

    County of Middlesex

    Office of the County Administrator

    November 29, 2016

    TO: Board of Supervisors

    FROM: Matt Walker

    SUBJECT: 12-6-16 BOS Update

    County Administrator’s Update

    1) Middlesex Water Authority

    The VDH Planning and Design Grant was awarded to us by the Virginia Department of

    Health Office of Drinking Water. This aid will offset the cost of the feasibility study and the

    preliminary engineering. These funds are highly competitive due to the significant number

    of applicants and therefore staff are very pleased to have this welcomed news. Staff have also

    completed submission for an additional planning grant through the USDA Rural

    Development program and we have been preliminarily notified that it is likely to be awarded

    pending the federal FY17 funding allocation. It appears very likely that the County and

    MWA will be able to partner with the USDA on design and construction funding for the

    potential project. Again the USDA Rural Development program currently has 40 year loan

    interest rates as low as 1.375%. If obtained, this could be a great opportunity for the

    Authority and the County to deploy much needed infrastructure at an amazing rate not likely

    to be equaled in the years to come.

    2) Board of Equalization/ Regional Reassessment

    The selection of a Board of Equalization (BOE) has been completed and those recommended

    will be forwarded to Judge Shaw for appointment. Wampler-Eanes has completed property

    owner meetings for appeals of the reassessment and has completed conferences with

    individual property owners. The firm has met with approximately 150 property owners and

    thus far 18 property owners have requested a hearing with the Board of Equalization which

    will be empanelled in January. We have preliminarily scheduled Virginia Tax Department

    training for our equalization board for January 5th

    or 6th

    and are awaiting finalization from the

    state on the specifics. We have also offered this training to the surrounding counties for those

    interested in attending.

    Page 61

  • On a related matter Steve Wampler has identified 92 parcels which indicate new construction

    that has not been completely assessed and will require site revisit. I have instructed him to

    complete this additional work @ $20/parcel ($1,840) in order to have as up to date and

    accurate reassessment practicable.

    3) Jackson Creek Dredging

    The VMRC have approved our modification permit for dredging -9 feet and staff have

    finalized the agreement with Docks of the Bay. We have issued a notice to proceed Docks on

    the Bay to mobilized and begin work on December 15th

    and to be completed within 45 days.

    Staff will continue to update the Board as the project moved forward.

    4) Broadband Authority

    The Broadband Authority did not meet in November and our next meeting is on January 18th

    2017. Staff continue to work with the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Center for Innovative

    Technology (CIT) to develop a citizen broadband survey and identify local assets and current

    coverage in order to identify and prioritize the county’s needs and goals, develop a strategic

    broadband plan and define requirements for establishing partnerships with the private sector.

    It is staff’s desire to have this work completed in January.

    5) Middle Peninsula Chesapeake Bay Public Access Authority, (MPCBPAA) - David

    Kretz

    Public Access Authority: There was no meeting scheduled for November. The next meeting

    is tentatively scheduled for December 9.

    Public Access Meetings: The seven (7) site specific neighborhood meetings along with the

    general public meeting that were facilitated by Doug Diedrichsen have concluded.

    Attendance for the most part has been good with the majority of the attendees being either

    directly adjoining or within close proximity along the waterway of the site being discussed.

    Attendance from the general public that would travel to these sites for use could be

    categorized as fair.

    Many of the concerns relayed by property owners adjoining the sites were common to several

    of the sites. Concerns voiced include, but are not limited to, tresspass on to adjoining

    property and confrontation with adjoining property owners; unacceptable or criminal

    behavior (especially during off or night time hours); parking issues; lack of law enforcement

    intervention and general lack of management; trash and overcrowding at certain times; to

    name a few. Many of the residents attending the meeting for Paradise Lane mimicked these

    concerns as fears in the event that the site is developed for public use. Additionally, residents

    seemed to be generally opposed to the addition of boat traffic on Jackson Creek.

    Attendees that participated in several meetings, who support public access, agreed with

    adjoining property owners in that the access sites lacked proper management but still felt

    strongly that public access sites should not be closed.

  • 6) Cooks Corner Water Project

    Bill Rosenbaum and I have requested a meeting with the VDH ODW for submission of the

    final piping plan for phase two of the project. We are waiting to receive confirmation on a

    meeting date. Staff would like to hold this meeting with the Office of Drinking Water staff

    to discuss the project and insure understanding of our project.

    7) Rappahannock Community College, Board of Directors

    The Board met in November at the Warsaw Campus, but I was unable to attend due other

    commitments.
