Owen, who was present to represent his petition, voluntarily submitted a proffer to deed restrict
the property to the following conditions: (1) No biosolids shall be spread on the parcels of lands;

Attorney confirmed that as it was filed as deed restrictive, the proffer with stated restrictions
would remain with the property regardless of Mr. Owen sold it; the restrictive conditions would
still remain in place. Furthermore, setback restrictions left relatively no other agricultural sue for
the property other than the petitioner’s intention to construct a storage building. The following
citizens signed up to speak in opposition of rezoning the property: Ivan J. Minter, 856 Mill Creek
Road; Lester L. Terry, Jr., 756 Mill Creek Road; and Charles L. Minter, Jr., 856 Mill Creek

or intensive agricultural industry. No one else signed up to speak. Mr. Owen stated that all he
wanted the rezoning granted for was to erect a building to store agricultural equipment in and
that he voluntarily offered the deed restrictive proffer to help ease the concerns of the
surrounding property owners. Mr. Barksdale closed the public hearing at 7:34pm. Motion was
made by Mr. Barksdale, seconded by Mr. Blackstock, to approve the petitioner’s request to

request to rezone Case R-14-044 was unanimously approved.
Public Hearing
Public Hearing to solicit comments regarding Pittsylvania County’s application for an
amendment to the County’s Enterprise Zone #24. The amendment application proposes to
add a total of approximately 176 acres to the area of the current Enterprise Zone. The area
to be added consists of approximately 43 acres located in Pittsylvania County and the
Town of Gretna, adjacent to Route 40 and U.S. Highway 29, and approximately 133 acres
located in the Town of Hurt, encompassing a portion of the former Klopman Mills site on
U.S. Route 29 Business.
Mr. Monday explained that the County has two Enterprise Zones and that Enterprise Zone 24
was currently before the Board. He further explained the current boundary for Zone 24
encompasses the Berry Hill Industrial Park. This Zone was approved in 2010. The Department
of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) regulations governing Enterprise Zone
administration stipulate that a Zone will be deactivated if no local or state incentives have been
used within a five year period. Zone 57 has been active, but there has been no incentive
utilization in Zone 24, the Berry Hill zone. Mr. Monday further commented that the Board was
aware that development activity in the Berry Hill Park has been greatly delayed by permitting
issues. This year is the end of the five year period. The County has been advised that Zone 24
can be maintained if the County amends the zone boundary before the end of the year to include
a project that is eligible for incentive benefits. The County can amend its zone boundaries to
include the area around and incorporating the Centra project in the Town of Gretna. The Centra
facility qualifies for enterprise zone incentives and the surrounding area also has additional
future development potential. It is proposed that Capps Shoes be included in the amended zone.
The total area proposed to be added is approximately 43 acres. A locality with an Enterprise
Zone has the ability to amend the Zone’s boundaries once per year. Mr. Monday concluded with
requesting the Chairman to open the public hearing for comments, and that staff
recommendations were that after holding the public hearing, to approve Resolution 2014-12-05
that authorizes the submittal of an application to the DHCD to amend Enterprise Zone 24 as
advertised, and authorize staff to sign all necessary documentation.
Mr. Barksdale opened the public hearing at 7:42pm. The only person to speak was Bill McBride
of Gretna, Virginia, opened by thanking the Board for considering Gretna when amending
Enterprise Zone 24. Mr. McBride noted that some of his properties and his partner’s properties
were in the enterprise zone and it would help them greatly. Mr. McBride stated that most of the
properties in Gretna were going down from McBride Lane going into the hospital, all the
hospital property plus property of Capps Shoe Company and the land Mr. McBride lives on.
And Mr. McBride likes that. However, he and Mr. Young, his partner, have developed property
down U.S. Hwy 40, acquiring lots and houses that would make a great enterprise zone, and
didn’t know anything about a proposed amendment to Enterprise Zone 24 until a week prior to
the public hearing. He understands the additional land can’t be added presently, but wanted it on
recorded that if an amendment cut be done a year from now, it hoped it would be possible to
include the property he and his partner are developing. Mr. McBride further added there is 2.3
acres going down between the hotel and the hospital in Gretna, where only ½ of the lot will be in
the proposed enterprise zone. In order to attract a business, Mr. McBride, the entire lot would be
needed, and he didn’t know what could be done about only ½ of the lot being in the enterprise
zone. If someone (a business) acquires the property, can they use the enterprise zone? Or not
use? Mr. McBride would also like it on record that if an amendment to Enterprise Zone 24 is
filed a year from now, he would like all the land from the nursing home to U.S. Highway 40
included; it has already been rezoned as commercial property and he would love to see it
included in the enterprise zone. He concluded with his appreciation that the County was
including northern Pittsylvania County in Enterprise Zone 24. Mr. Barksdale thanked Mr.
McBride for his comments and asked the Board of they had any questions. Ms. Bowman asked,
based on Mr. McBride’s comments, if the application would be amended at this time or would
the County have to wait. Mr. Greg Sides, Assistant County Administrator for Planning &
Development, stated the application could not be amended at this time without going through a
new public hearing process. And that causes an issue in having this application submitted before
the end of the year. Mr. Sides stated existing property lines were followed at the time of
Adjourned Meeting
December 16, 2014
advertising, but as Mr. McBride stated, staff did not know about some business plans that were
in the works. Mr. Sides stated that he did talk to Gretna’s Town Council and found out they had
recently rezoned some property. Mr. Sides stated that once the County gets the amendments to
the Enterprise Zone currently advertised, the County would be able to amend the zone to include
some properties in future amendments. Mr. Blackstock addressed Mr. McBride, stated he too
was from the northern end of the County and would help in any way he could to get Mr.
McBride’s proposed amendments included in the enterprise zone. Mr. Hagerman told Mr. Sides
that he would like to see Mr. McBride’s amendments included during the current Board meeting
and was there any reason why it could not be done. Mr. Barksdale told Mr. Hagerman the public
hearing was still open and he needed to make sure no one else in the audience wanted to speak
on the matter, and then he needed to close the public hearing before there could be discussion by
the Board. Mr. Barksdale asked the audience if anyone else wanted to speak; hearing none; he
closed the public hearing at 7:49pm.
Mr. Barksdale asked what the pleasure of the Board was. Motion was made by Mr. Blackstock,
seconded by Mr. Snead, to approve Resolution 2014-12-05 authorizing the submittal of an
application to the DHCD to amend Enterprise Zone 24 as advertised, and authorize the County
Administrator to sign all necessary documentation. Mr. Hagerman said he didn’t have any
problem approving Mr. Blackstock’s motion but he didn’t see any reason why Mr. McBride’s
request couldn’t be included in the current application. Mr. Harville stated that question should
be referred to Mr. Hunt, the County Attorney. Mr. Hunt stated the application could not include
amendments to the enterprise zone that had not been advertised; that there was a deadline of
December 31, 2014 this application had to meet; the Board would not be meeting again before
the deadline; and that only 1 application for amendments to an enterprise zone per year. Mr.
Sides stated the boundary line in the Board’s packet had been advertised and pre-approved by
DHCH. If any changes were made, the entire process would have to start from the beginning
and would miss the calendar year-end deadline. Mr. Hagerman stated that he understood but he
wanted it understood that he wanted an application to amend the enterprise zone to include the
property discussed by Mr. McBride submitted as soon as allowed. Ms. Bowman asked would
another public hearing be required. Mr. Sides said yes, it would be required as part of the next
amendment cycle. Mr. Blackstock stated that at that cycle he would like staff to take a close
look at the surrounding properties at the Klopman site to see if the boundaries there also need to
be expanded. Mr. Sides pointed out that when the County does an amendment, it is retro-active
for the previous year, so any project that occurs during the same calendar year as the enterprise
amendment, it the project that has taken place is included. There was no further discussion and
the following Roll Call Vote was recorded: Mr. Harville-Yes; Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes;
Mr. Blackstock-Yes; Ms. Bowman-Yes; Mr. Hagerman-Yes; and Mr. Barksdale-Yes. Mr.
Blackstock’s motion was unanimously approved by the Board.
