Public Hearings
Rezoning Cases
Case A: Midland IRA, Inc. – Staunton River District (Continued): R-13-017
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 7:22pm. Mr. Shelton explained that in Case R-13-017,
Midland IRA, Inc. had petitioned to rezone the R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District
portion of 96.01 acres (approximately less than 10.00 acres), located off SR 665/Rockford
School Road, in the Staunton River Election District to A-1, Agricultural District (to make the
parcel on zoning designation). The Planning Commission, with opposition, recommended the
case be continued until legal issues concerning access to the property were addressed.
According to the Pittsylvania County Zoning Ordinance, Section 35-807, Subsection 2, after 60
days, the Planning Commission shall be deemed to approve the amendment with a
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Thomas Brooks with Acres of Virginia, Inc. was
present to represent the case, along with Lynwood Dellis, agent for Midland IRA, Inc. Mr.
Brookes stated that a complete and certified title search of the property had been completed and
presented a Deed of Easement to the property, which cleared the question of access to the
property. Mr. Glenn Pulley, attorney with Clement & Wheatley who represented MMB
Properties, LLC, an adjacent property owner, withdrew his client’s opposition in this case, based
on the Deed of Easement presented by Mr. Brooks on the behalf of Midland, IRA, Inc. There
were no other speakers and Mr. Ecker closed the hearing at 7:30pm. Motion was made by Mr.
Hagerman, seconded by Mr. Harville, to rezone Case A from R-1 to A-1 and the following Roll
Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Harville-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes;
Mr. Hagerman-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-Yes. Mr. Hagerman’s motion was
unanimously approved by the Board.
Case B: Kisa H. Dellis – Staunton River District (Continued): R-13-018
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 7:32pm. Mr. Shelton explained that in Case R -13-018,
Kisa Dellis had petitioned to rezone 19.50 acres, located off SR 665/Rockford School Road, in
the Staunton River Election District from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District to A-1,
Adjourned Meeting
June 18, 2013
Agricultural District (to make the zoning consistent with the adjacent parcels of land zoned A-1
and for agricultural use-horses). The Planning Commission, with opposition, recommended the
case be continued until legal issues concerning access to the property were addressed.
According to the Pittsylvania County Zoning Ordinance, Section 35-807, Subsection 2, after 60
days, the Planning Commission shall be deemed to approve the amendment with a
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Thomas Brooks of Acres of Virginia, Inc. and
Lynwood Dellis were present to represent the case. Mr. Brooks stated that a complete and
certified title search of the property had been completed that clearly showed an easement from
Music Street going to Ms. Dellis’ property. However, in order to prevent any hard feelings
between the Dellis’ and the adjacent property owner, Mr. Ray Archer, immediate to the access
road in question, the Dellis’ bought Mr. Archer’s property, which provided an alternate access to
the Dellis property that is before the Board to be rezoned. Mr. Ray Archer signed up to speak
and stated that no longer opposed rezoning the property. Mr. Glenn Pulley, attorney with
Clement & Wheatley who represented MMB Properties, LLC, an adjacent property owner, stated
that acquisition of Mr. Archer’s property changed nothing in his client’s opposition of rezoning
this property as they believed the access road in question was never intended to go to the Dellis
property, and that his client intended to seek a court judgment on the access road. Mr. Brooks
countered that the easement presented was solely on Mr. Archer’s property and not a joint
easement between Mr. Archer and MMB Properties, LLC. No one else signed up to speak and
Mr. Ecker closed the public hearing at 7:43pm. Motion was made by Mr. Hagerman, seconded
by Mr. Barksdale, to rezone the property from R-1 to A-1 as requested, noting the zoning issue
before the Board was only the question at hand for the Board, and the de termining who owned
easements was an issue for the court to determine. The following Roll Call Vote was recorded:
Mr. Harville-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Mr. Hagerman-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Yes;
Mr. Barber-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-Yes. Mr. Hagerman’s motion was unanimously approved by the
Board.
Case 1: Kathy Hazelwood –Chatham/Blairs District: R-13-029
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 7:46pm. Mr. Shelton explained that Hazelwood had
petitioned to rezone 13.78 acres, located on U.S. Highway 41/Franklin Turnpike, in the Tunstall
Election District from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District to B-2, Business District,
General (for a kennel). The Planning Commission, with opposition, recommended denying the
petitioner’s request. Ms. Angela Honeycutt of the Pittsylvania Animal Welfare League was
present to represent the case. Ms. Honeycutt stated it was the intent of Ms. Hazelwood that the
League would remodel the home and fence in the property, to establish an animal sanctuary for
dogs on the property in question. Ms. Honeycutt stated that the house would be used as an
office; in the first year the League intended to employ local contractors to prep the land for a
shelter, pave a parking area, and once the shelter opened, volunteers would operate it. The
League’s lacking of a physical address, Ms. Honeycutt said, has been the obstacle in their being
approved for grants. Ms. Honeycutt stated the property would have a 3-part fencing system and
the sanctuary would eventually house up to 50 dogs when completed. Ms. Honeycutt said the
shelter would be approximately 500 feet from any residential dwelling, with the exception of the
resident directly across the street. Ms. Honeycutt further requested the Board to consider tabling
the issue until her organization could have information discussions with the residents
surrounding the Ms. Hazelwood’s property as Ms. Honeycutt felt there had not been sufficient
discussion during the Planning Commission’s public hearing on what the League proposed to do
with the property. The first person signed up to speak was Hugh Kelly, who lives directly across
from the property in question and submitted to the Board a petition with signatures from the
adjacent property owners and residents of that area opposing the r ezoning of the property in
question. Mr. Kelly said he was not opposed to what the League wanted to do for the animals,
Adjourned Meeting
June 18, 2013
and would be willing himself to help them in any way he could, but he did not feel that putting
the animal sanctuary in the middle of a residential neighbor was the appropriate place for it. Mr.
Kelly stated that when dogs start barking, and by their very nature, they are going to bark at all
times of the day and night, it would be disruptive for the neighbors. Mr. Kelly further stated that
traffic coming in and out would be an issue as well as keeping the dogs contained during
transporting. Lastly, Mr. Kelly stated that putting a facility like that in this particular area would
devalue all of the surrounding residences market value. The dogs the League would be trying to
help would be animals who were already in distress, and that distress would be increased by their
being moved from wherever they had been to the new environment of the sanctuary and the first
opportunity that arose, the dogs would try to make a run to escape. Mr. Van Amos, also an
adjacent landowner and resident stated his grandchildren lived with him and that in total, there
were 9 young children that lived on the adjacent properties to the proposed animal shelter and
Mr. Amos feared for their safety if some of the dogs escaped. Mr. Amos was not opposed to an
animal shelter per se, but the League needed to find a more secluded area for the shelter and not
in the middle of a residential area, and particularly where small children lived. Mr. Jim Haskins
stated that he had lived on his residence (which is adjacent to the property in question) for nearly
45 years and was highly opposed to the facility being located on the Hazelwood property. No
one else had signed up to speak and Mr. Ecker closed the public hearing at 8:10pm. The County
Attorney made sure the Board was aware that if the Board denied the petitioner’s request, it
could not be brought back for consideration by the Board for one (1) year, just as if the app licant
had withdrawn the petition, but the Board could postpone voting on the issue for thirty (30) days
and bring it back for approval or denial. Motion was then made by Ms. Bowman, seconded by
Mr. Hagerman, to postpone voting on Case R-13-029 for thirty (30) days to allow the petitioner
and the Animal Welfare League to educate the adjacent residents on the proposed animal
sanctuary since it was Ms. Bowman’s understanding the petitioner and her representatives did
not have adequate opportunity to present their intent at the Planning Commission meeting. Mr.
Barksdale stated that he attended the Planning Commission meeting that heard this case and both
parties were given adequate opportunity and treated equally fair in presenting their sides to this
issue and was not in favor of postponing the case. A Substitute Motion was then made by Mr.
Barber, seconded by Mr. Barksdale, to deny rezoning Case R-13-029 from R-1 to B-2, stating
that the location of such a facility in the middle of a residential area was no t suitable, and that if
the Board granted such a zoning for the property, then in the future, if the animal shelter closed,
any kind of business would already be zoned to move in there. Mr. Harville noted that the no
one who signed the petition in favor of rezoning the property that was submitted by the petitioner
lived in that area, and some didn’t even live in Virginia. The following Roll Call Vote was
recorded for the Substitute Motion to deny rezoning from R-1 to B-2: Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr.
Barksdale-Yes; Mr. Hagerman-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Abstain (Ms. Bowman’s brother is an
adjacent property owner to the petitioner); Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Harville-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-
Yes. Mr. Barber’s Substitute Motion passed by a 6-0 vote of the Board, and Ms. Bowman
abstained from voting.
Case 2: Michael and Sherri Thomas-Dan River Election District: R-13-030
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 8:22pm. Mr. Shelton explained that Michael and Sherri
Thomas had petitioned to rezone a total of 17.28 acres, two parcels of land, located on SR
947/Mountain Mill Road, in the Dan River Election District from R-1, Residential Suburban
Subdivision District to A-1, Agricultural District (to allow for construction of a single family
dwelling on the vacant parcel). The Planning Commission, with no opposition, recommended
granting the petitioners’ request. Ms. Sherri Thomas was present to represent the case. No one
signed up to speak and Mr. Ecker closed the hearing at 8:23pm. Motion was made by Mr.
Snead, seconded by Mr. Harville, to approve rezoning Case R-13-030 from R-1 to A-1 and the
following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Mr. Hagerman-Yes; Ms. Bowman-
Adjourned Meeting
June 18, 2013
Yes; Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Harville-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-Yes. Mr. Snead’s
motion was unanimously approved by the Board.
Case 3: Elizabeth Gill-Banister Election District: R-13-031
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 8:24pm. Mr. Shelton explained that Elizabeth Gill had
petitioned to rezone a total of 32.71 acres, two parcels of land, located on SR 691/Mill Creek
Road, in the Banister Election District from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District to A-
1, Agricultural District (for agricultural use and for sale of the properties). The Planning
Commission, with opposition, recommended denying the petitioner’s request. Mr. Shelton also
stated that the applicant requested the Board of Supervisors to accept the withdrawal of her
petition due to the opposition in this case. Mr. Ecker closed the hearing at 8:25pm. Motion was
made by Mr. Barksdale, seconded by Mr. Hagerman, to accept the petitioner’s withdrawal,
without penalty, and the following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Hagerman-Yes; Ms.
Bowman-Yes; Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Harville-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes; and Mr.
Ecker-Yes. Mr. Barksdale’s motion was unanimously approved by the Board.
Case 4: Carolyn Bell and Linda Strange-Dillard-Tunstall Election District: R-13-032
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 8:27pm. Mr. Shelton explained that Carolyn Bell and
Linda Strange-Dillard had petitioned to rezone 5.90 acres, located off SR 622/Cascade Road, in
the Tunstall Election District from R-1, Residential Suburban Subdivision District to A-1,
Agricultural District (to subdivide for a lot for their niece). The Planning Commission, w ith no
opposition, recommended granting the petitioners’ request. Mr. James Bell was present to
represent the case. No one signed up to speak and Mr. Ecker closed the hearing at 8:27pm.
Motion was made by Mr. Barber, seconded by Mr. Snead, to rezone Case R-13-032 from R-1 to
A-1 and the following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Ms. Bowman-Yes; Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr.
Harville-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Mr. Hagerman-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-Yes. Mr.
Barber’s motion was unanimously approved by the Board.
Case 5: Steve Shields-Staunton River Election District: R-13-033
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 8:38pm. Mr. Shelton explained that Steve Shields had
petitioned to rezone 0.08 of an acre (part of 0.05 acre) located on SR 768/Pittsville Road, in the
Staunton River Election District from A-1, Agricultural District to R-1, Residential Suburban
Subdivision District (to combine with the adjacent parcel of land zoned R-1, Residential
Suburban Subdivision District). The Planning Commission, with no opposition, recommended
granting the petitioner’s request. No one signed up to speak and Mr. Ecker closed the hearing at
8:29pm. Motion was made by Mr. Snead, seconded by Mr. Harville, to rezone Case R-13-033
from A-1 to R-1 and the following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Harville-
Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-Yes. Mr. Snead’s
motion was unanimously approved by the Board.
This concluded the Rezoning Cases.
Public Hearings
Public hearing to receive citizen input on the proposed amendment to Chapter 16; Sheriff’s
Department; Sec. 16-2-Employment of Off-Duty Officers, of the Pittsylvania County Code
to meet the requirements of §15.2-1712 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended.
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 8:31pm. Mr. Sleeper explained that several years ago the
Board of Supervisors agreed that Sheriff Department Deputies that work various programs, such
as the fair, football games, basketball games, funerals, special carnivals or other activities should
be paid through the County of Pittsylvania with their regular overtime salary so it is consistent
with Fair Labor Standards and that the County would bill or reimbursed by the organizations that
Adjourned Meeting
June 18, 2013
have hired the deputies for their security protection. The County did not pass any ordinances
related to this. Currently, there is a request to pass an amendment to Chapter 16 of the
Pittsylvania County Code entitled, “16-2, Employment of Off-Duty Officers of Pittsylvania
County.” This is in order to meet §15.2-1712 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, which
would mean that the Board of Supervisors is authorizing the police power of the County of
Pittsylvania to be utilized by these deputies on off-duty employment. No one signed up to speak
and Mr. Ecker closed the public hearing at 8:32pm. Motion was made by Mr. Harville, seconded
by Mr. Snead amending Section 16-2; Employment of Off-Duty Officers, of the Pittsylvania
County Code as presented to meet the requirements of §15.2-1712 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
as amended and the following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Harville-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes;
Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Yes; Mr. Barber-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-Yes. Mr. Harville’s
motion was unanimously approved by the Board.
Public hearing to receive citizen input on the proposed amendment to Chapter 17; Solid
Waste Disposal, of the Pittsylvania County Code to meet the requirements of §15.2 -2159(A)
of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, for code updates to become effective July 1,
2013 that would prohibit a Solid Waste Disposal Fee being levied upon persons whose
residential waste is not disposed of in the County’s Landfill, provided that said nondisposal
is documented, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office, by
the collector or generator of such waste.
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 8:34pm. Mr. Sleeper explained that the Pittsylvania
County Board of Supervisors passed a Solid Waste Ordinance Fee in accordance with
requirements of changing §15.2-2159(A) of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, last year.
However, upon approval by the General Assembly, there were several items that needed to be
added to the State Code Section to insure that Pittsylvania County could prohibit the levying of
fees for residents who did not dispose of solid waste in the Pittsylvania County Landfill and used
a private vendor. The intent of the public hearing was to amend Chapter 17 of the Pittsylvania
County Code to meet the requirements passed by the General Assembly in 2013 which will
allow Pittsylvania County to prohibit solid waste fees, levies on persons or residences that do not
dispose of trash in the Pittsylvania County Landfill and that their trash is picked up by private
haulers or collectors. Mr. Jessie Rutherford, manager of the Hillcrest Trailer Court, signed up to
speak, stating that he provided his own compactors and that First Republic picked up the solid
waste from that trailer court, and that it did not go to the Pittsylvania County Landfill, thus h e
felt he should be exempt from this fee and requested that all fees and penalties related to the
Solid Waste Fee and the Hillcrest Trailer Court be waived for the first half of the 2013 year. No
one else signed up to speak and Mr. Ecker closed the hearing at 8:34pm. Motion was made by
Mr. Harville, seconded by Mr. Barber, to amend Chapter 17 as presented in the public hearing
and the following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Barksdale-Yes; Ms.
Bowman-Yes; Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Harville-Yes; and Mr. Ecker-Yes. Mr. Harville’s motion
was unanimously approved by the Board.
Public hearing to receive citizen input on the proposed amendment to Sec. 42 -8(B)(4)-
Street and Road Names; Signage, of the Pittsylvania County Code. This proposed
amendment would allow street signage that would reach private properties that are not in
developments or subdivisions into the 911 System of Pittsylvania County; that the cost of
such sign would be $150 for a double-faced sign and $50 for the installation and
replacement at no cost to the citizen.
Mr. Ecker opened the public hearing at 8:38pm. Mr. Sleeper explained the Pittsylvania County
Board of Supervisors in approving their new 911 system, in order to operate that system
effectively had to name all of the streets in Pittsylvania County. Chapter 42 of the Pittsylvania
County Code establishes those requirements. Most recently, it occurs that there is no ability to
Adjourned Meeting
June 18, 2013
have private streets actually named or paid for by private individuals that were not public street s
for the 911 system. Amendments to Chapter 42-8b-4 of the Pittsylvania County Code would
allow street signage that would reach private properties to be paid for by private individuals and
be incorporated in the County’s 911 system at a cost of $150 for a double-faced sign and $50 for
the installation. Once it is in the 911 system, replacement of that sign will be done by the county.
No one signed up to speak and Mr. Ecker closed the public hearing at 8:38pm. Motion was
