Applicant Cody Hoke answers questions as commission recommends SUP for auto-repair garage with site visit
Summary
The Planning Commission heard the Cody Hoke application to convert an accessory structure at 855 Bixler's Ferry Road into a public auto-repair garage. Commissioners asked technical questions about drainage, fencing and septic, requested a site visit, and voted to forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
The Page County Planning Commission opened a public hearing on a special-use permit application from Cody Hoke to operate a public auto-repair facility at 855 Bixler's Ferry Road. Staff described the 1.075-acre parcel (Tax Map 41A57A), noted VDOT raised no entrance concerns, and said the property is outside public water and sewer service areas.
Applicant Cody Hoke answered commissioners’ questions about well and septic compliance and the proposal to screen the neighboring yard. “I would just like to answer any questions you guys have,” Hoke said when given time to address the commission. Staff noted the application proposes storage of vehicles behind the building within a secured fenced area and that the business would hire at least three mechanics.
Commissioners pressed the applicant on drainage, fence type and storage containers on site. Staff recommended commissioners consider the draft conditions included in the packet, including requiring a Page County business license and conformance with health and building permits. After discussion, a motion to recommend approval of the special-use permit to the Board of Supervisors, with commissioners conducting a site visit to verify on-the-ground conditions, was made, seconded and put to a roll-call vote. The motion passed and will be forwarded with the commission’s recommendation for final action by the Board of Supervisors.
Next steps: staff and commissioners will schedule a site visit and then the application will be included in materials sent to the Board of Supervisors for final consideration.
