Public comment code enforcement River Road
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

they'll make their presentation and the uh anybody in the audience will have a chance to to ask questions. So um before we get started. Um is there anybody here uh to speak to anything that's not on today's agenda?
Okay. Um and it's been our uh it's been uh a policy of the board to um For anybody who wants to ask for additional time, I don't think we've had any requests for additional time,
That is correct, Mr. Chairman.
We would like to make
public
comments. Okay. Yeah, I did see you. And um So uh we don't have anybody that's requested that for our extra time in writing. But uh typically the applicant gets uh three minutes to make the presentation and they Respondents uh Have three minutes to ask any questions that might come up. And the applicant could come back up and try to answer any of those questions that were raised. So before we go further, and
uh because we do have one person here to speak on an item not on today's agenda, just say to you to please uh silence your phones, please, so they don't go off during the meeting. I better check my own. Yeah, we do. And um
Other than that, I think we're ready.
And I'm legal. Okay.
So when you come up if you please give your name and address. And I know you've been sworn, I saw you.
I'm just gonna record my name and address and push a button. Nancy Hazwood [address removed]. Um I'm you know, I wanted to say thank you to y'all for your thoughtfulness and the way you go over each item on the agenda. And I know sometimes that takes a while, but that doesn't matter. The way you are thinking through each of these is really appreciated by your citizens. So thank
you. Also, um last night there was a code enforcement meeting. That was one of the best presentations I had seen of the county in a long time, unfortunately. were only six people there and that part might need to be worked on a little bit, I would be glad to help. if somebody on staff wants that. And uh I believe there's one more code enforcement meeting coming up if anybody wants to go to it. I
think it's in Land O' Lakes. Also, you know, sometimes we can use this as a time tonight, talk to y'all, but to talk to staff and tell them what we like and don't like. We don't really have that ability much either. So thank you again for what you all do. I sincerely meet that. Thank you.
Okay, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate you coming.
All right. We'll take all of the fank eus we can get. Right?
If you have general public comment, that would be now.
Yeah.
We'll bring you the microphone if you like.
Do you want to screen your microphone? Um
I have cancer. Yeah, I don't have it. But it damaged so sometimes I can't speak a word, but I know what it is, so don't think I know what it is. So yeah. Thanks. Would you prefer to sit? You
can sit if you
like. You can sit if you like. I think I'm okay. Oh okay, I'll take this back then. Just sitting down. I can hold this button.
Yeah, there's a microphone right up there. You can hold on to that podium.
If you're feeling a weak, uh
Hi,
my name is Susan Shelton. I live at [address removed]. I was born and raised here because in 1868 my great-great-great-grandpa Sumner came down there and bought a huge piece of land and God has given me eight acres. And that is what presents this, what's happened on the railroad that is so concerned to me
and other people. There has been a person who's and I can't remember names all the time and then know the man and everything. It's not gonna come up, it'd be probably bigger. Uh he he almost put a piece down there all these years. was co uh pr um animal not animals.
he had stuff on it, all these lights, his grandpa and everything. And now it's he's wanting to sell it. Or he he has it and he's gonna sell it and he wants to put on that first piece. He is approximately up to um two and three hundred houses right uh on that net on River Road. And then also recently he bought another one who is the this part is twenty four acres
that that he can barely get catch to that. And then the word came back to me that they want a hundred houses in there. That piece is
It is my great great great grandfather's house and that is so Hurting me. I mean I know something's gonna happen. But maybe we could delay 'em, we could make it into something. What all all these houses, maybe You know, I may not know a a lot of things about that. But you could have houses maybe, but no what to do and It's terrible. And um I
uh
I just think that
Go ahead, you're okay.
that uh that God
would it would be so unhappy to do that. And um I I had I wouldn't sign. And I went up River Road. Every single except for three people signed it. Four people was Christ. And then the only the four people that wouldn't sign their la their land touches that, so they hoping that men will buy theirs so they won't sell that. So I I didn't but I did that. And um
the first thing that we had we we had so many people there that they had to go get chairs that come. And another thing is I've I all week I've been working on this because they were told that I would be here time one day this week and I this is the third time that I had tried to be to this is the place I supposed to be. But so I'm not sure this isn't gonna have anything to do with with This probably isn't the only time. But at least you people know. what's
going and and how it's hurting and um
that maybe we could work together and bring it together in a God way and not have all those hundreds of houses and and make it look better than that. So bless y'all and thank you so much for helping me. Thank you.
Thank you for being here. Yeah for bringing that up. Is that uh home what how old is that home?
I'm sorry, what?
How old is that home?
My grandpa did this in eighteen sixty-eight somewhere. Um
Bobby Sumner, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, thank you. Staff question. Don't we have like uh uh don't we have a I'm sorry, I'm just asking them a question. Don't we have uh like a historic element in the county that can might look into that or preservation? Yes, David if you can come forward.
Maybe then gone. Thank you, David Engel, Planning Director. I just want to alert you, we had a historic oversight committee at one time in the past. It was disbanded in about 2011. But uh we're we're working on now uh resurrecting that. Um we also have a historic planner c capability on the planning team now. And uh we'd like to s start working on creating a registry and also identifying historic
home sites and mapping them out and preserving them wherever we can.
That's great.
Yeah, that's some of the initiatives we're working on right now.
