Summary
At the Aug. 6 meeting the Warren County Board of Supervisors approved ArchiveSocial and NextRequest subscriptions, approved a conditional use permit for a delivery‑only bakery, approved a Shenandoah Shores water‑rate correction, approved sale of 2.9 county acres, and tabled a proposed cigarette tax to Aug. 20.
Key board actions from the Aug. 6 Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting:
- ArchiveSocial (CivicPlus) subscription approved: Board authorized the county administrator to execute documents for social‑media archiving; roll call recorded all aye.
- NextRequest subscription approved: Board authorized the county administrator to finalize a subscription for FOIA case management through CivicPlus; roll call recorded all aye.
- Conditional Use Permit approved (103 Demo Court): The board approved a conditional use permit allowing a delivery‑only bakery to operate from an accessory structure at 103 Demo Court subject to conditions recommended by planning staff and the Planning Commission: compliance with the Warren County Health Department, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), building inspections and the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code; change‑of‑use permits, required building improvements and final inspections; annual well testing for E. coli and coliform; prohibition on on‑site customer service; and driveway‑only employee parking.
- Proposed cigarette tax (Article 24, Chapter 160): After public hearing and discussion about distributional effects, the board voted to table the ordinance to adopt a cigarette tax (2¢ per cigarette) and revisit it at the Aug. 20 meeting to allow staff to assemble financial estimates and comparisons with other localities.
- Shenandoah Shores water‑rate correction approved: Board approved an ordinance amendment (Warren County Code §179‑19) correcting tiered quarterly rates and per‑gallon surcharges as presented by staff.
- Sale of county land (approx. 2.9 acres on Krizer/Kreiser Road) approved: Board approved sale and conveyance to the Most Reverend Michael F. Burbage, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, with contract terms described in staff materials. Note: staff presentation listed the parcel’s assessed value as $127,400 and a $10,000 deposit; the motion recorded a sale sum of $67,400 in the roll‑call motion text. The transcript does not reconcile these two figures; staff follow‑up is recommended to confirm the approved sale price.
- Lease to Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging (15th Street property): The board opened the advertised public hearing but followed staff recommendation to defer a vote pending a work session; the board tabled final action until after that work session.
Votes listed above reflect roll‑call tallies recorded in the meeting transcript (members recorded as Mrs. Cook, Madam Chair, Mister Butler and Mister Stanmeyer voted aye on recorded matters).
