Town Council to Consider Special Exception for Winchester Road Property Subdivision
The Town Council considered a special exception application for a property at 10160 Winchester Road. The applicant seeks to legally separate a portion of the parcel, which was annexed into town in 1997 but never formally separated from the larger county parcel. This separation is needed to allow the applicant's adult son to continue residing in the existing home on the lot. The subdivision ordinance requires a minimum lot size of two acres for parcels accessed by private roads, and this request aims to rectify the lot's legal status. The council discussed the historical annexation and boundary adjustments, noting that the initial annexation in 1997 brought only a portion of the parcel into town without a formal subdivision. Staff confirmed they have no issues with the request, and it was suggested for the consent agenda on July 27th, as it does not require a public hearing. [cite: 25, 33, 34, 35, 38, 39, 40, 45, 53, 54, 74, 75, 76, 83, 86, 87]
Town Council to Enter Closed Session for Real Property Discussions
The Town Council moved to convene a closed meeting to discuss the acquisition of real property for a public purpose or the disposition of public held real property where open discussion would harm the body's bargaining position or negotiating strategy. This discussion pertains to acquisition under the town charter and Virginia Code. The motion was made and seconded, and a roll call vote was conducted. The closed session was specifically for item number three on the agenda, excluding items one and two. [cite: 125, 128, 129, 130, 131, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148]
Water Treatment Plant Switchgear Controls to be Retrofitted
The Town Council was asked to authorize the purchase of equipment and installation services for the water treatment plant to retrofit existing switchgear control panels. These panels, originally purchased in 1994, have over 45,000 hours of operation and are considered obsolete. The procurement is a sole source purchase from Benshaw Applied Motor Controls for $264,798 to replace the equipment with modern, supportable technology that is compatible with existing control cabinets. Funds for this project have been budgeted for the past four fiscal years. The retrofitted equipment will be monitored through the SCADA system. The council was asked to approve this purchase for the consent agenda. [cite: 89, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 100, 101, 102, 117, 118, 120]
