Below is a concise summary of each ordinance, resolution or official action taken by the board and the vote counts recorded in the meeting transcript.

Rezoning: 111 Shirley Road (Ordinance 25-11)
The board adopted proposed ordinance 25-11 to reclassify a 0.16-acre property at 111 Shirley Road from WCI (Water‑Oriented Commercial/Industrial) to RR (Rural Residential) so the owner may construct a single-family dwelling. Staff recommended approval after noting the parcel’s small size, substantial portion within the Chesapeake Bay RPA buffer and surrounding residential zoning context. The board adopted the ordinance.
- Motion: Adopt ordinance 25-11 (mover: Supervisor Roan).
- Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard. Outcome: approved (Yes:4; No:0; Abstain:0).

Tourist home (Use Permit UP-1046-25 at 1024 Penmen Road; Resolution R25-82)
The board considered a request for a whole-house short‑term rental (tourist home) at 1024 Penmen Road with a manager condition requiring a nearby responsible party. Staff recommended denial because the proposal did not meet a board policy that envisions an owner residing in or immediately adjacent to a rental; the planning commission had recommended approval (5–1). The board voted to deny the resolution.
- Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑82 authorizing the tourist home (mover: Supervisor Sheppard).
- Vote (roll call): Yes — Missus Noll; No — Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd. Outcome: failed (Yes:1; No:4; Abstain:0).

Six‑year secondary road program and FY2026 construction budget (Resolution R25‑86)
The board adopted resolution R25‑86 to approve the York County project priority listing for the six‑year period FY2026–FY2031 and the FY2026 construction budget for secondary system funds. Staff told the board the funding allocation for the secondary program is reduced compared with prior years; the adopted action allows the county to bank or apply the funds against eligible secondary projects.
- Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑86 (mover: Mister Holroyd).
- Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Missus Knoll. Outcome: approved (Yes:5; No:0; Abstain:0).

Hampton Roads Sanitation District easement (Resolution R25‑20)
The board authorized a permanent easement to HRSD to provide permanent access for a fiber optic line and maintenance access related to a pressure reducing station and offline storage facility adjacent to Tab High School. HRSD told the board the easement fills a small gap in existing permanent access lines so staff or contractor work can reach communications infrastructure if needed.
- Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑20 (mover: Mister Sheppard).
- Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Missus Knoll. Outcome: approved (Yes:5; No:0; Abstain:0).

Board salaries (Ordinance 25‑10R)
After discussion the board adopted ordinance 25‑10R to set annual salaries for supervisors at the current levels (no across‑the‑board pay increase at this meeting). The ordinance sets the base salary and supplemental stipends for chair and vice chair as recorded in the meeting.
- Motion: Adopt ordinance 25‑10R (mover: Mister Roan).
- Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Holroyd; Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Missus Noel. Outcome: approved (Yes:5; No:0; Abstain:0).

Child Development Resources lease extension (Resolution R25‑64)
The board authorized a one‑year lease extension with Child Development Resources to continue early‑childhood services at the Griffin‑Yates building through June 30, 2026, while CDR completes construction of a new facility.
- Motion: Adopt resolution R25‑64 (mover: Mister Roan).
- Vote (roll call): Yes — Mister Drury; Mister Roan; Mister Sheppard; Mister Holroyd; Missus Knoll. Outcome: approved (Yes:5; No:0; Abstain:0).

Consent calendar and other routine matters
The board approved the consent calendar, which included (among other items) approval of minutes, acceptance of Child Development Resources lease extension, authorization of the HRSD easement (noted above), and a minor application/modification from Dominion Energy relating to an earlier solar special-use permit. Item 10 (Dominion Energy special-use modification/extension) was approved on the consent calendar after staff review.

What the board asked for next
During the meeting staff and applicants agreed to provide follow-ups: board members asked Dominion Energy to return with a near‑term update on site-plan progress (some supervisors requested a three‑month status update by email) and staff committed to issue public notice and detour details once CSX schedules for the railroad crossings are finalized.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","York County - Board of Supervisors - May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The York County Board of Supervisors recorded several formal actions during its May 20 meeting, including a rezoning approval, adoption of the six‑year secondary roads plan and the denial of a proposed short‑term rental permit.","taxTitle","York County, Virginia","taxId",38210,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535176,"York County public works outlines summer paving, CSX crossing repairs and six-year secondary plan",840,1920000,2760000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413709-c8be192ab415485535bbc1b475488a10&start=1920&end=2760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413709-c8be192ab415485535bbc1b475488a10/thumbnail_1920000.jpg","/articles/6535176/York-County/Virginia/York-County-public-works-outlines-summer-paving-CSX-crossing-repairs-and-six-year-secondary-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535176-149a4bf3f504c3c8e077cb2e11635006/orig.mp4?Expires=1770681915&Signature=AKykgWntk6nSahVDYEi-KoD2yicIcTEmWxHQDBgbdH8ww55cAfkOY7~z6HcBuNqXqCZFJz3jpu1hJIHolq71UqbkFUkv0tXffuVxxyLCdokBdXJBna4kNZxDy0pIkIBIuzvWCRdBE7XUswUHsObNHlvXePP6lksLK42LTklNVvwBX4FsS8SbkjaUms4-Xjk66XLiwTBwyVamx72JsK~96ci9mloi26jf4If7MoN6I8ZymjCwoMkXtEf-ij-0wjzRyXBLPjJcFH4jKoARhxES8Qeh2RnpWxNjDmJ11ahZsRZGSnNA5VpqYUGIynXBDXbPfLZWaxEKQ24gtNqiTm1GXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","York County’s public works staff presented a quarter report and a multi-month plan for pavement repairs, drainage work and traffic projects at the May 20 Board of Supervisors meeting, describing short-term maintenance and longer-term projects in cooperation with VDOT and CSX.

Ross (York County Department of Public Works) told the board the county closed 76.5% of customer-generated work requests during the February–April quarter and described ditching, pipe repairs and pavement maintenance since winter. Staff reported targeted thermoplastic handwork (stop bars, crosswalk markings) and restriping projects on routes including 199, 17, 173 and several neighborhood streets; spot repairs used internal pipe bands to re-seal separated joints in storm lines.

Ross said the county is partnering with CSX to replace two railroad crossings—Old York Hampton Road and Wolf Trap Road—in June, with June 24 and June 25 tentatively scheduled and June 26 held as a rain date. He said CSX will bring track replacement contractors while the county will perform traffic control and detours. The board requested that the county issue a press release with detour routing once dates and specifics are finalized.

On paving and resurfacing, public works described a 14-month contractor schedule for pavement projects and said work in the Yorktown area will pause over the summer: \"What they cannot get complete by Friday before Memorial Day, the contractor will have to come back after Labor Day,\" Ross said. The county also plans a latex overlay on portions of Dare Road to extend the life of asphalt ahead of other contractor-led paving.

Ross reviewed VDOT-administered and smart-scale projects on the county list, including Route 171 right-turn lane extension and several bridge and capacity projects. He described the county’s pavement-condition assessment process (condition index threshold of 60 to mark deficient pavement) and explained how preventive, restorative and reconstructive treatments are targeted across interstate, primary and secondary systems to meet annual funding targets.

Board members raised local concerns: Supervisor Shepherd and others described heavy traffic and queuing problems during milling and paving at the Victory Boulevard/Route 17 intersection and urged the county to seek night work for disruptive operations where possible. Ross explained milling and paving sequences and said the paving train usually returns within 48 hours to repave milled areas, but weather and logistics sometimes delay completion.

Supervisors asked about tree clearing for median work along I‑64 and were told federal or state environmental timing (protection for bat species) restricts tree cutting after April 1; projects often cut trees before that date and then remove stumps or resume grubbing when the next construction phase occurs. The board also discussed planned guardrail repairs, ADA ramp replacements and intersection safety improvements the county recommended after traffic studies.

Ross said the county’s FY2026–FY2031 six-year secondary road program budget is smaller than in past years and will be used conservatively; board members asked for an explanation of the reduced allocation. Ross and staff said funding sources and statewide allocations have changed and that some previously rolled-over secondary funds were used to cover shortfalls on other local projects.

The presentation concluded with staff invitations to attend a public information meeting for the Route 171 capacity enhancements and a reminder that the county will publish schedules and detour information for the CSX crossings when final dates are set.","County public works reported planned paving, striping, drainage repairs, two CSX railroad crossing replacements scheduled for June, and outlined how the county prioritizes roads for resurfacing and the six-year secondary road program.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6535180,"York County Youth Commission presents 2025 Outstanding Youth Awards",1380,200000,1580000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413709-c8be192ab415485535bbc1b475488a10&start=200&end=1580","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413709-c8be192ab415485535bbc1b475488a10/thumbnail_200000.jpg","/articles/6535180/York-County/Virginia/York-County-Youth-Commission-presents-2025-Outstanding-Youth-Awards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6535180-6a915cad395b63c384dcd11e86dfb3b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770681915&Signature=j38j57CSAo6OvJMsBwZ1wSG6XnpYHv4k3fzN9W7q6BDS7K4qujId4t7WZ5RPPoPrsv9KQ5WqOXdw4wjzBBdTPpRDTle65hIHG6wQLS0c~5W403Eajo-obQzUY3bTZTlA4QWt4Rqc6A9LC4POLH1-jKNe1tLiZJjxdMJ~yzZzi2WiHpkIY94p8TBc12qwu266PC90TNLbgdvWe-7YUITr4zDTEepYgXrKDx0l2WWLItgHE5LTLpUt-5mPxCtuPTvXgVgMhgmVHbHZNfdeWqp7C6o7OSj7nMaDYmouwLqbJk5DIBWxBVcteBQu8Nmme2p-GibYPJXbKEkm~VhCP94VAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The York County Board of Supervisors recognized five high school students Tuesday evening during a quarterly presentation from the York County Youth Commission, awarding the 2025 Outstanding Youth Awards.

The awards ceremony, presented by youth commissioners and Parks & Recreation staff, singled out students for community service, compassion, courage and overall excellence. Donnie Babajanoff, a youth commissioner from District 5, led the presentation and introduced awardees and short video remarks.

Allison Eco received the community service award for volunteer work with York County Parks and Recreation’s safety town camp, painting murals at churches and schools, classroom support at Seaford Elementary, and tutoring peers. Anastasia Broderinco was honored for compassion after nominations cited more than 300 volunteer hours with Peninsula Community Chapel, teen advisory work at Tabb Library, founding Tabb High School’s Photography Club, and individual support to an immigrant elementary-school student. Margaret “Maggie” Annette earned the courage award for leadership roles in student government and athletics; Charlie Kirschmeyer received the excellence award for academic honors, theater participation, film production recognition and community service.

Scott Hendricks, York County Parks and Recreation recreation supervisor and county liaison to the youth commission, invited Supervisors to the dais to present certificates and take a group photo with commissioners. Supervisor Roan, who serves as the Board liaison to the youth commission, praised the students’ work and said the commission ‘‘connects the schools and the Board’’ through town halls and student surveys. Several board members echoed congratulations and noted the time students invest in extracurricular activities.

The youth commission described its semester activities, including monthly market-day participation, speaker events, a Botanical Gardens field trip and the annual town hall series that collects student concerns for presentation to district representatives and the school board. Babajanoff said the commission’s survey work is one of its primary methods for amplifying student input to county leaders.

The board responded with applause and brief remarks noting the role of parents and teachers in supporting student achievement. The county posted more information about the youth commission, including membership and contact information, and encouraged residents to visit the county youth commission website.

The presentation concluded with award videos from recipients and formal recognition by the Board of Supervisors.","York County Board of Supervisors hosted the York County Youth Commission’s quarterly presentation and presented Outstanding Youth Awards to high school students for community service, compassion, courage and excellence.","actionData","errors"]
