CHAPTER 25, SECTION 25-74 – ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

This being the day and time advertised to consider an amendment that permits a facility operator to personally reside on site with proof of lease between property owner and resident manager/facility operator. The Planning Commission recommends approval.

Ms. Tate stated that this is in the General Agriculture zoning districts. There is a provision which allows application for a special use permit for short-term rentals, bed and breakfast and vacation rentals. There was a provision added that the owner of record primary residence is the principle dwelling or accessory dwelling unit. The intention at the time is that someone would be living on the property full time and be accountable. The amendment being proposed would allow a facility operator to reside on the property and then an additional provision is the owner of record would provide to the Zoning Administrator proof of a lease between the facility operator and the owner as a precondition of the permit. The owner would submit any subsequent lease agreements within ten days of signature when the lease was to change.

The Chairman declared the public hearing open.

Tom Benzing of 1045 Old White Bridge Road is opposed to the proposed changes to the current ordinance requiring a bed and breakfast owner to reside on sight. Without the owners present, there will be no accountability to the neighbors. Mr. Benzing has voiced his concern about this proposed change to the Planning Commission. At that meeting there was confusion between Bed and Breakfast and Air B & B’s. Air B & B’s are short-term rentals and in the current language of the ordinance Bed and Breakfast and Air B & B’s are the same. There is a name for a facility where an owner is not present and that’s a hotel. Without the requirement to live on sight, the same person could open multiple facilities and that’s a hotel chain. During the Planning Commission meeting, it was stated that the County operates on a complaint based system. It is assumed the County does not inspect B & B’s, but instead the County only responds to neighbor or customer complaints. If this is true, the owner occupant will be more responsive to complaints than an absentee owner. Augusta County would be opening up for more complaints given this change.

Rebecca Hannah of 156 Dividing Ridge Road is in favor of amending the ordinance to allow long term leasers manage the property.

There being no other speakers, the Chairman declared the public hearing closed.

Mr. Garber asked for clarification if this item could be tabled and revisited at a later time.

James Benkahla, County Attorney, stated that it could be tabled.

Ms. Bragg moved, seconded by Mr. Coleman, that the Board table the agenda item to the next Board of Supervisors meeting on July 24, 2019.

Dr. Pattie asked for an explanation of what needed to be clarified and reviewed.

Mr. Coleman stated that it was his understanding that the change was made in the beginning to allow for more flexibility.

Dr. Pattie recapped why the decision was made to amend the ordinance to make it acceptable that the property owner not be on the premises. He does not want to vote for a law that will effect over 74,000 residents of Augusta County when it only concerns a small portion.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Coleman, Shull, and Carter Nays: Wells and Pattie Motion carried.

CHAPTER 25, SECTION 25-124 – ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

Ms. Tate stated that this amendment is the same as the previous one, but covers Rural Residential zoning districts as opposed to the General Agriculture zoning.

The Chairman declared the public hearing open.

Tom Benzing would like the Board to separate Bed and Breakfast from short-term rental in the ordinance.

There being no other speakers, the Chairman declared the public hearing closed.

Dr. Pattie moved, seconded by Mr. Wells, that the Board accept the ordinance as presented.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Wells and Pattie Nays: Garber, Bragg, Coleman Shull, , and Carter Motion fails.

Ms. Bragg moved, seconded by Ms. Carter, that the Board refer the item back to the Ordinance Committee.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Shull, Bragg, Carter, and Coleman Nays: Wells and Pattie Motion carried.

CHAPTER 25, SECTION 25-56 – ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

This being the day and time advertised to consider an amendment that adds walk-in freezers and generators as accessory to business and commercial establishments provided they are shielded or screened from view. The Planning Commission recommends approval.

Ms. Tate stated that there is a long list of uses in the ordinance that are considered accessory and customary to business establishments. This proposal is specifically adding walk in freezers and generators provided they are fully shielded or screened from view. The County does not permit outdoor storage in business so this amendment will eliminate the need for a Special Use Permit to have a walk in freezer or generator.

The Chairman declared the public hearing open.

There being no other speakers, the Chairman declared the public hearing closed.

Ms. Bragg moved, seconded by Mr. Shull, that the Board approve the ordinance amendment as presented.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Coleman, Wells, Shull, Carter and Pattie Nays: None Motion carried.

CHAPTER 25, SECTION 25-57 – ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

This being the day and time advertised to consider an amendment that adds walk-in freezers and generators as accessory to industrial establishments. The Planning Commission recommends approval.

Ms. Tate stated this is similar to the previous amendment, but is in uses accessory to industrial establishments. Outdoor storage is allowed in industrial zoned districts so it is not required the walk in freezers and generators be shielded or screened from view.

The Chairman declared the public hearing open.

There being no other speakers, the Chairman declared the public hearing closed.

Ms. Bragg moved, seconded by Ms. Carter, that the Board approve the ordinance amendment as presented.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Coleman, Wells, Shull, Carter and Pattie Nays: None Motion carried.

CHAPTER 25, SECTION 25-303 – ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

The Chairman declared the public hearing open.

There being no other speakers, the Chairman declared the public hearing closed.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Wells, Shull, Coleman, Pattie and Carter Nays: None Motion carried.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUEST – JUDGE/COURT SCHEDULE CHANGE

Consider staffing request due to increased court services in the amount Of $361,663.00.

Funding: Circuit Court Clerk’s Office – 2 Clerks $ 99,814.00 Commonwealth Attorney’s Office – 2 Attorneys $160,411.00 Sheriff’s Office – 2 Court Security Officers $101,438.00 Ms. Whetzel stated that the Board has previously discussed the need for additional staffing at the Circuit Court and the Juvenile and Domestic Court. With new Judges being appointed, court will be running more times per week than in the past. Circuit will be running nine times a week verses five times a week. Juvenile and Domestic Court will have some extra dockets related to their cases. This change is expected to occur around July 1, 2019. With court running more often, there are several offices that see the need for more staffing in order to be in court and as well as process the information that comes from court. The Clerk is requesting two positions, Commonwealth’s Attorney is requesting two attorneys and the sheriff’s office is requesting two court security officers.

The total funding for all six positions would be $361,661.00. This would go into the FY2020 budget.

Mr. Shull would like to break down the request into three different votes.

Mr. Shull moved, seconded by Mr. Coleman, that the Board approve the request for two Circuit Court Clerks.

Mr. Wells asked if either of the Clerk’s positions were considered for part-time.

Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the acting Clerk is looking for two part-time Clerks, but in order to adequately staff the second court room four days a week there are two full time Clerks needed.

Ms. Carter agrees with hiring part-time.

Mr. Coleman stated there has been sufficient justification for the additional staffing. The need is based on state records.

Mr. Wells fully respects the opinion of Staff and there will be an additional work load. It is easier to take a part-time position and make it full time than it is to reduce the position from full time to part-time. There is an unknown at this point on what the demand will actually be.

Ms. Carter states for the record that the positions were approved after the budget cycle.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Wells, Shull, and Coleman Nays: Pattie and Carter Abstain: Bragg Motion carried.

Mr. Shull moved, seconded by Ms. Carter, that the Board approve utilizing the attorney in charge of the Litter Control Program and hire an investigator.

Tim Martin, Commonwealth Attorney, stated that the second Attorney is in charge of the Litter Control Program and does part-time JDR work and then part-time working with the Litter Control Program. The investigator would allow the second attorney to be closer to full time in terms of court, but would still be responsible for the Litter Control Program. If only an investigator was hired, the coverage would not be possible in all courts. It would be possible with an investigator and an attorney, but without an extra attorney the services provided would be limited.

Ms. Bragg asked if there is an investigator would that free up time for the other attorneys and there would be more time.

Mr. Martin stated that an Investigator would give them a small increase of time.

Ms. Carter asked if there is recommendation from the Comp Board on the number of Attorneys needed. Is there a way to meet the needs, but not at the cost of $160,000.00?

Mr. Martin stated that the Comp Board provides Attorneys for the Circuit Court cases only. At the cost of $160,000.00, the additional Attorney could be an Investigator. Having an Investigator is the greatest need that is not an Attorney. The man hours in court that the Clerk’s office is referencing have to be manned by an Attorney.

Mr. Coleman understands that the budget process has been completed, but if the work is to be done there has to be people to handle the work load.

After further discussion of needs and how they can be handled, Mr. Shull withdrew his motion.

Mr. Shull moved, seconded by Ms. Carter, that the Board approve an Attorney and an Investigator and will look at case load during the next budget process and if there is an additional need for another Attorney it can be approved at that time.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Wells, Shull, Coleman, Pattie and Carter Nays: None Motion carried.

Mr. Shull moved, seconded by Ms. Bragg, that the Board approve the two security officers for the Sheriff’s Department for the courts.

Mr. Wells raised the question regarding part-time bailiffs.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Wells, Shull, Coleman, Pattie and Carter Nays: None Motion carried.

SIX-YEAR PLAN

Consider the advertised FY19-25 Secondary System Six-Year Plan and Fiscal Year 2019-20 Construction Budget.

Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the plan has not changed since the public hearing.

Dr. Pattie moved, seconded by Ms. Bragg, that the Board approve the VDOT Six-Year Plan as presented.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Wells, Shull, Pattie and Carter Nays: None

Absent: Coleman
Motion carried.
OUTDOOR MUSICAL OR ENTERTAINMENT FESTIVAL

Consider application as submitted by Club at Ironwood for an outdoor event to be held at 62 Country Club Circle, Staunton, VA on July 13, 2019 (Beverley Manor District).

Mr. Fitzgerald stated there has been a request from the Club at Ironwood to have a beach music weekend. These events have taken place in the past. All required documents have been received and reviewed.

Ms. Bragg moved, seconded by Mr. Wells, that the Board approve the application as presented.

Vote was as follows: Yeas: Garber, Bragg, Wells, Shull, Coleman, Pattie and Carter Nays: None Motion carried.
