The Board received and reviewed Administrator Paxton’s staff report dated September 7, 2007. He advised the Board that he would discuss several matters in closed session.

He referred to correspondence from the District Ranger, North River Ranger District, George Washington National Forest, regarding some timber management activities in the northern Rockingham County area. He noted that, if the Board has suggestions to be submitted, the submittal date for comments is September 30, 2007.

Supervisor Cuevas said those who would be removing logs from the forest and crossing people’s properties, need to be responsible for any damage that results to those properties.

Mr. Paxton noted that County and School staff met to discuss collaborative efforts to assist the School Board in making its decisions regarding an enrollment area for the fourth high school and to look at a means to incorporate the upcoming school census into the County's GIS system. He advised that alternatives to provide staffing for these efforts are being investigated. Mr. Vaughn will report back to the Board at a later date.

PROPOSAL RE CASH PROFFERS.

County Attorney Miller reported that staff had been working on proposed policy guidelines for the County’s receipt of cash proffers by rezoning applicants. Administrator Paxton reviewed the proposed guidelines, and Attorney Miller reviewed the state statutes.

Supervisor Cuevas suggested that the Board have a committee of two Supervisors review the information and make a recommendation to the full Board as to what would be in the interests of the County. Chairman Kyger agreed that the Board should proceed with caution and that the entire Board should be involved. Without objection, this matter was referred back to staff to further define a proposed policy to bring back to the Board for consideration in a work session.

oooooOooooo

DEPUTY COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S STAFF REPORT.

The Board received and reviewed Deputy Administrator King’s staff report dated September 7, 2007.

He reported that the work on the new addition to the County Administration Center is scheduled to begin on September 17, 2007.

He reported that County staff and VDOT representatives had visited the Blue Hole swimming site in the Rawley Springs area, and he provided to the Board photographs of the property. He advised that staff did not believe it would be feasible, from a financial or environmental cost perspective, to provide additional parking on the County property; and even if a parking area could be constructed, it would not be possible to provide an entrance/exit onto Route 33 with adequate sight distance. He noted that staff had observed a limited amount of trash left behind by visitors to the site; and one of the Deputies (dressed in plain clothes) actually observed someone policing the area for trash before they left the swimming hole. He stated that the County’s litter control group would place the site on their regular schedule. He stated that the Deputies observed a number of individuals drinking alcohol at the site; and staff would need direction from the Board as to whether enforcement, or stronger enforcement, of drinking in public laws is desired at the site. If stronger enforcement was desired, he advised that additional signage would need to be installed and maintained by County staff. He reported that residents and property owners along Rawley Springs Road have complained about individuals parking along private property and parking out into the public roadway, and they have requested that VDOT install “no parking” signs in this area. He started further that some residents have also indicated that they intend to install September 12, 2007 (18)

“no parking” signs on their property in this area. He noted that staff recommended that VDOT provide and maintain signage only along Route 33, where traffic speeds are greater.

Supervisor Ahrend asked why the County wanted to keep the property.

Administrator Paxton noted that, in the past, when the Board suggested disposing of the site, a large number of citizens asked that it be retained as the “public’s property.”

Supervisor Cuevas suggested that perhaps “society had changed” and it may be time to make the proposal again.

On motion by Supervisor Cuevas, seconded by Supervisor Ahrend and carried by a vote of 5 to 0, voting recorded as follows: AHREND – AYE; BREEDEN - AYE; CUEVAS - AYE; FLOYD - AYE; KYGER - AYE; the Board authorized staff to advertise a public hearing on a proposal to declare the property as surplus with the intention of selling it.

On motion by Supervisor Ahrend, seconded by Supervisor Breeden and carried by a vote of 5 to 0, voting recorded as follows: AHREND – AYE; BREEDEN - AYE; CUEVAS - AYE; FLOYD - AYE; KYGER - AYE; the Board removed from the table RZ00-21, request of Leon Burkholder to rezone .892 acre from A1 (Prime Agriculture) to B1 (General Business) on property located on the southeast side of Lumber Mill Road (Route 734) approximately 100 feet north of Honey Run Road (Route 743) in the Ashby Magisterial District, Election District #3. (This request was tabled by the Board on November 15, 2000.)

September 12, 2007 (21)

Supervisor Ahrend made the following statement.

This area of Rockingham County has a long-standing farming heritage. The sale of farm machinery is an appropriate agriculture-related business and supports this heritage, provided the size of the operation is modest and in keeping with other agriculture-related businesses in the rural areas. This request is on a .892-acre parcel which also has a machinery repair shop on it, so the entire parcel is not available for machinery sales.

I have given much thought as to whether B1, General Business, zoning is the most appropriate zoning for this use. It seems to me that the B2 district, which is the Rural Business Service district, is a more appropriate designation. To choose B2 zoning for this parcel, rather than the B1 the applicant requested, would not require the County to undergo additional public hearings because B2 zoning is more restrictive than B1.

With these considerations, I wish to put forth a motion to approve this request.

On motion by Supervisor Ahrend, seconded by Supervisor Breeden and carried by a vote of 5 to 0, voting recorded as follows: AHREND – AYE; BREEDEN - AYE; CUEVAS - AYE; FLOYD - AYE; KYGER - AYE; the Board approved RZ00-21, request of Leon Burkholder and rezoned the area in question to B2.

Supervisor Breeden stated, “The three rezoning applications in the McGaheysville area are still on the table. We do not have the sewer capacity out there that would allow us to take action on these requests.”

On motion by Supervisor Cuevas, seconded by Supervisor Ahrend and carried by a vote of 5 to 0, voting recorded as follows: AHREND – AYE; BREEDEN - AYE; CUEVAS - AYE; FLOYD - AYE; KYGER - AYE; the Board approved the following Memorandum of Understanding between the County and Bridgewater to allow an easement across Town property that will allow a sewer line for Dynamic Aviation to be connected to the Harrisonburg Rockingham Sewer Authority line.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

This Memorandum is made this — day of September, 2007, by the Town of Bridgewater, Virginia (the “Town”), a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the County of Rockingham, Virginia (the “County”), a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The Town and the County have reached certain understandings with respect to boundary line adjustment and annexation, and this memorandum sets out those understandings:

1. This Memorandum—and the County’s obligations referred to herein—serve as partial consideration for a lease of even date in which the Town authorizes the placement of a County sanitary sewer line (the “Line”) across Town property.

2. In response to the Town’s concern for the potential residential development which may occur with property adjacent to the property served by the Line, the Town and the County agree provisions should be made for a boundary line adjustment to include certain properties as identified for future growth in Exhibit 1 in vicinity of the Line in the Town should such development be approved.

3. The County and the Town agree that

September 12, 2007 (26)

a. The Town will be authorized to annex through boundary line adjustment any of the property identified for future growth in Exhibit 1, if a residential subdivision is approved for such property or there is a rezoning of such property for residential use. The County and Town shall endeavor to see that all such properties, if rezoned, are in compliance with the then current zoning ordinance in force within the Town, and shall take into consideration the County’s and Town’s concern for orderly, sustained growth to minimize the impact on county and town services. (Property for which there has been such a subdivision or rezoning shall be referred to as “Developing Property”).

b. Any such annexation should be accomplished by the adoption of a boundary line adjustment ordinance, without further process.

c. In order to provide for an orderly process and good planning, the Town may also include in such boundary line adjustment land adjoining Developing Properties or between Developing Properties and the then- existing Town; provided that this clause shall not permit the annexation of land not identified for future growth in Exhibit I.

4. The Town and County agree to cooperate fully with one another on an ongoing basis to implement the annexations authorized by paragraph three of this memorandum.

5. The principles set out in this memorandum address only circumstances arising from the Line. The parties may reach additional agreements concerning annexation in other contexts.

EXHIBIT 1 is attached to and made a part of this minute book page.
