Appomattox supervisors adopt emergency plan, schedule hearings and approve routine business; Carter honored at final meeting
Summary
The board adopted an updated Emergency Operations Plan, scheduled January public hearings on a shooting‑range CUP and a cemetery zoning amendment, accepted state road additions with VDOT form approval, appointed a library trustee and approved the consent agenda. The board also adopted a resolution honoring retiring Supervisor Samuel E. Carter.
Appomattox County's Board of Supervisors used its regular meeting to adopt administrative items, schedule public hearings, and recognize a retiring supervisor.
The board adopted the county's updated Emergency Operations Plan, a periodic four‑year reauthorization that staff said included typographical updates, contact list updates and the addition of recent local medical‑facility and dam monitoring changes. A motion to adopt the plan passed after the public safety presentation earlier in the meeting.
The board scheduled January public hearings on two planning matters: a conditional‑use permit petition by Benton Bowman to operate an outdoor shooting range on about 571 acres off Huawei Road in the Oakville community (the planning commission recommended approval, 6–1, with conditions), and a proposed amendment to zoning ordinance section 19.6‑87.2 to eliminate the minimum lot size for cemetery lots (planning commission recommended unanimously). Staff recommended both hearings be held during the regular January meeting.
On transportation, supervisors approved a resolution authorizing the county administrator to sign VDOT form AM‑4‑3 to accept 0.15 miles of Industrial Park Lane (Route 751, two segments) and 0.08 miles of West Ridge Lane (to become State Route 753) into the state secondary road system.
In personnel and routine business, the board approved the 2026 holiday schedule (including a motion to add four hours on Nov. 25 to make that a full day off), appointed Neil Seltz to the Falling River District seat on the library board of trustees (term to 06/30/2029), and approved the consent agenda covering bills, minutes and transfers.
Chair and staff presented a formal resolution honoring Samuel E. Carter for 28 years of service on the Board of Supervisors; the board adopted the resolution and presented it to Carter, who was thanked by colleagues and staff. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session for consultation on actual litigation related to Region 2000 and discussion of a prospective business matter; the motion passed.
Next steps: public hearings are scheduled at the January board meeting; staff will return with any procurement or budget follow‑ups as required for items approved at the meeting.
