Board gives trucking business owner 60 more days to correct site work after noncompliance
Summary
Supervisors agreed by consensus to revisit a resolution to revoke a trucking-business special exception after staff found partial progress but outstanding erosion, seeding and entrance issues; owner Timothy Waldron was given 60 days and agreed to regular check-ins.
The Amherst County Board of Supervisors agreed by consensus on April 15 to return in 60 days to consider revocation of a special exception previously granted for a trucking business at tax map parcel 82-A-158, after staff reported the site remains out of full compliance with the approved site plan.
Planning staff told the board the property has partially addressed some items but still needs permanent seeding, erosion repairs, gravel placement, and removal or relocation of miscellaneous items including a conex storage box. “Staff would recommend that we give Mr. Waldron an additional 60 days to bring this into compliance,” the planning presenter said, and included photos taken the afternoon of the meeting documenting unfinished work.
Timothy Waldron, the property owner, told the board he is completing repairs using his personal income as funds become available and asked for additional time. “I work a full time job and then in order to purchase the stone, I have to work a couple of weeks, get a paycheck and I'm using my paychecks to bring this project into compliance,” Waldron said.
Staff and supervisors discussed more frequent follow-up to avoid last-minute compliance pushes; a supervisor asked staff to check in with Waldron every two weeks. County staff said they observed progress but noted the site still does not meet the approved plan’s erosion-control and stabilization requirements. The board directed staff to return with the matter in 60 days for further review.
The item originated as resolution 2024-11 (revocation of special exception 2020-380) and had been tabled at earlier meetings to allow the owner time to address VDOT entrance requirements and site stabilization. Planning staff said the property’s conditions included restrictions on onsite materials and required specific entrance work and drainage/stabilization.
