spiritual erosion going on in the country and offered a moment of prayer.

arose at the last Board meeting (1)that the Board mentioned that renters don’t pay tax and they do
pay taxes in the means of rent increases passed on by the owners to the renters; (2) that it was

than they don’t like the taste of it; (3) it was mentioned by the Board that an aging population is not

move here after visiting their parents, obtaining jobs, etc.

Adjourned Meeting
May 15, 2012
Mr. Oakes stated that he wanted the property rezoned because in the 30 years he’s owned this
property he had three (3) different offers for that property who wanted it for business use; first the
U.S. Post Office wanted it to place a local post office on; second a lumber supply company; and last
was John R. Atkinson and he would like to see it rezoned in case he had another business make him
an offer. There are already commercial properties there along the road of RT 41, and the County’s
compactor’s site is there. The first person signed up to speak was Woodrow Hancock, who lives on
Jackson Heights, located directed behind and adjacent to Mr. Oakes’ property. Mr. Hancock was
opposed to rezoning the property to commercial property right in front of a residential subdivision
that would be what people trying to enjoy their backyards would see. Next Mr. Allen Holley, Jr. of
Jackson Heights was completely opposed to rezoning this property to business since this property is
adjoining their backyards, and this would only increase the noise level for what has been a quiet
residential community for over 40 years, and another concern would be the runoff water coming off
into their properties. Ms. Wanda Holley, also of Jackson Heights, was totally opposed to rezoning
this property since Mr. Oakes had already sold off the ingress and egress to this property, this
business would be right on top of them and would be the demise of a quiet and peaceful
neighborhood. Furthermore, the Jackson Heights subdivision is low-lying from RT 41 already have
a problem with runoff from RT 41 and any other land cleared and paved between them and RT 41
would only increase this problem. As for the noise level, the compactor when operated already
signs like thunder and if anything comes any closer to them, their peaceful neighborhood is done
for and she hoped the Board would denying this request. Next, Ms. Donna Jones, of Church
Avenue, requested the Board to approve this request for rezoning since the properties to the left and
right, and across RT 41, were already rezoned as business and operating as businesses; and recently
a Dollar General just opened in that area. Ms. Jones asked the Board to approve Mr. Oakes request.
Next, Ms. Jody Stone of the Jackson Heights property was opposed to rezoning this property to B-
2. She doesn’t want a lumber company on the other side of her backyard, or any commercial
property. Due to the runoff problem already occurring, this would only increase the flooding that’s
happening across her property and she can provide photos of this water issue, including 2 sink holes
that have appeared in the past year, of which she can provide photos. The increased noise level is
an issue for her, is also concerned about the safety issue since commercial properties can entice
burglaries. Mr. Barber asked Ms. Stone to speak with Mr. Greg Sides and directed Mr. Sides to see
if VDOT can do something about their water issue. Mr. Stone also stated that he and his wife were
starting a family and they understand that change occurs and businesses grow, but there’s a big
difference in a tombstone business or a lawnmower business than an 84 Lumber business like Mr.
Oakes mentioned. The Stones felt this would certainly decrease the value of their property. Things
that were being developed on RT 41 were greatly impacting the property quality, and life quality of
the residents on Jackson Heights. Mr. Robert Hodges who lives on Jackson Heights supported all
the reasons previously stated that opposed rezoning the property, as did Mr. Barry Lewis of
Jackson, Mr. Steven Nichols, Donald Adkins, Joanne Atkinson, Elvin Whorley, Michael Crane, all
of Jackson Heights. Mr. Oakes then stated there was no more runoff water now than it was when
these people bought their properties, and he’s sorry they are dissatisfied, but he is dissatisfied at
paying a higher tax because he is in between commercial properties. Mr. Barber closed the public
hearing at 8:38pm. Motion was made by Ms. Bowman, seconded by Mr. Snead, to denying
rezoning R-12-023 from R-1, B-2 for the following reasons; she appreciates what Mr. Oakes is
trying with his property and supports growth in the community, but Jackson Heights was
established in the 50s and 60s and while the egress and ingress is on RT41 ad borders other
properties on Jackson Heights, and because of the clearing that has already occurred they are now
seeing all the commercial development, development that is causing runoff that is eroding their
properties ; the noise has increased in residential area; and further development would reduce the
home values. She is denying rezoning but suggests that the Board of Assessors consider reducing
the assessed value of Mr. Oakes property and would be glad to help Mr. Oakes in pursuing that
avenue. The following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Mr.
Adjourned Meeting
May 15, 2012
Hagerman-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Yes; Mr. Ecker-yes; Mr. Harville-Absent; and Mr. Barber-Yes. Ms.
Bowman’s motion to deny rezoning Case R-12-023 was unanimously approved by the Board with
the exception of Mr. Harville who was absent.
Case 7: Perkins Tire & Service, LLC – Banister District; R-12-024
R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District to B-2, Business District, General
Mr. Barber opened the public hearing at 8:40pm. Mr. Shelton explained that Perkins Tire &
Service, LLC, had petitioned to rezone a total of 3.38 acres, three parcels, located on U.S. Highway
29 North, in the Banister Election District from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District to
B-2, Business District, General (for future commercial development). The Planning Commission,
with opposition, recommended denying the petitioner’s request. Ramsey Yeatts was there to
represent the petition. Mr. Yeatts stated the Mr. Perkins was no longer interested in pursuing the
rezoning of this property. However, Mr. Barber stated there were people signed up to speak and
they would still be allowed to speak. Ms. Tiny McLaughlin was in opposition of rezoning this
property and also read a letter from Mr. and Ms. Willie and Lillian Fitzgerald, who were currently
out of town that were also opposed to rezoning the property. Mr. Marilyn Keyes, Mr. Dora Adams,
and Reverend Floyd Jones were all opposed to a tire business coming into a residential area. Mr.
Barber closed the public hearing at 8:55pm. Motion was made by Mr. Barksdale, seconded by Mr.
Ecker, to deny rezoning Case R-12-024. The following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Snead-
Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Mr. Hagerman-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Yes; Mr. Ecker-yes; Mr. Harville-
Absent; and Mr. Barber-Yes. Mr. Barksdale’s motion to deny rezoning Case R-12-024 was
unanimously approved by the Board with the exception of Mr. Harville who was absent.
This concluded the Re-zoning Cases.
