WHEN I WAS THERE. I GUESS YEAH.
I'D LIKE TO CALL THE MEETING OF THE CAROLINE COUNTY BOARD OF PRESERVATION TO ORDER.
ALL RIGHT, SO OUR FIRST AGENDA ITEM IS LONG SWAMP ROAD BRIDGE PROJECT.
THIS MR. AND MRS. GIBBONS-NEFF OWN A PROPERTY OFF OF LONG SWAMP ROAD.
IT WAS PUT INTO THE EASEMENT APRIL OF 21.
SO THE COUNTY IS NEEDING TO DO A BRIDGE REPLACEMENT ON THAT BRIDGE.
AND MR. GIBBONS-NEFF PROPERTY IS RIGHT ALONG THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE.
SO IF MR. NORTH IS HERE WITH DPW, IF YOU WANT TO COME UP AND EXPLAIN THE PROJECT.
WE'VE BEEN IN THE PROCESS FOR SEVERAL YEARS TRYING TO GET THIS BRIDGE DESIGNED AND REPLACED AND GET IT TO FIT THE BEST IN OUR CURRENT RIGHT OF WAY, AND TRY TO BUILD THE OUR CURRENT STANDARD BRIDGE.
CURRENT SIZE. CLEAR OPENING 30 FOOT WIDE TO HELP ACCOMMODATE THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY.
THIS BRIDGE WILL HAVE UNLIMITED WEIGHT LIMIT.
WILL BE POSTED, SO IT'LL HANDLE WHATEVER LOADS THEY CALL STRAIGHT TRUCKS, TRACTORS AND TRAILERS.
WE WANT TO REPLACE THE CURRENT TIMBER BRIDGE WITH ABOUT 18 TO 19 FOOT CLEAR OPENING ON TIMBER PILES.
WE WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH A THIS.
I'M SORRY. IT'S A TWO SPAN BRIDGE.
SO THERE'S ACTUAL SET OF PIERS IN THE WATER.
WE WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH A SIMPLE SPAN.
WHAT IS CALLED ONE SPAN SPANS FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER.
SO THERE'S NO PIERS IN THE WATER.
CLEAR FLOW. STEEL PLATE PILES ON CONCRETE ABUTMENTS, CONCRETE GIRDERS BACK 2 TO 3 FOOT THICK, WIDE, STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BRIDGE.
I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THE A GOOD EXAMPLE IS LEGION BRIDGE, BUT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
AND A REAL GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE MONEY JUST REPLACED ON ROUTE 16 AT WILLISTON WITH THE METAL RAILING.
THAT'S WHAT IT WILL EXACTLY LOOK LIKE.
SO AND THEY HANDLE ANYTHING WE WANT TO DRIVE ACROSS IT.
WE'RE ASKING FOR IT'S 0.00 7/7000 OF AN ACRE.
WAS 320 FOOT OF RIGHT OF WAY TO DO FOR OUR COUNTY TO ACQUIRE.
AND FROM MR. ALSO ASKING FOR TEMPORARY EASEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION.
IT WILL GO RIGHT BACK TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP PICTURE, I BELIEVE IT IS IT TOOK.
THE THE GIBBONS-NEFF PROPERTY IS JUST ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
JUST WHAT WE NEED ON THE RIGHT SIDE, ACROSS ACROSS THE BRIDGE.
THE CROPS AND PROPERTIES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRIDGE.
THIS IS FACING CHIPMAN'S LANE.
FACING NORTH. THE OTHER PICTURE IS FACING THE GIVENS PROPERTY.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S POSTED FOR KIND OF LOW POSTING FOR FARM EQUIPMENT AND TRUCKS.
SO IF YOU APPROVE IT WE WOULD I WILL TAKE THIS TO THE MOUTH BOARD.
AND THEN WE WOULD PRESENT IT THERE AND THEN IT HAS TO GO TO BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THAT 0.007 OF AN ACRE TO BE RELEASED FROM THE EASEMENT.
SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR STRAIGHT FORWARD.
[00:05:01]
YEAH. MOTION.I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE PASS THIS.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT ITEM IS MR. MCNATT IS ASKING FOR A SUBDIVISION AND AN SUBDIVISION OF ONE OF HIS PARCELS.
SO MR. RANGANATH HAS ABOUT 530 ACRES, APPROXIMATELY, IN THE MWR PROGRAM.
AND THEN ALSO ON ONE OF THE PARCELS, THERE'S A SOLAR ARRAY.
AND ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT MOUTH TO BE ABLE TO DO THE LAND SWAP IS THE SOILS COMING IN HAVE TO BE EQUAL, IF NOT BETTER, THAN THE SOILS FROM THE LAND COMING OUT.
BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO SEE.
SO THESE ARE THE BOUNDARIES NOW.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS PARCEL DOWN HERE.
IS GOING TO BE SUBDIVIDED ABOUT RIGHT THERE.
AND THIS IS ABOUT NINE ACRES RIGHT UP HERE.
THAT IS IT'S PART OF THIS PARCEL.
BUT IS NOT A PART OF THAT EASEMENT.
SO THEY WOULD LIKE TO PUT THOSE NINE ACRES IN AND THEN TAKE OUT THREE ACRES AROUND THE SOLAR ARRAY.
SO WHOEVER OWNED THE OWNER OF THE POULTRY FARM, BECAUSE THE SOLAR ARRAY IS FOR THE POULTRY FARM.
SO WHOEVER OWNS THAT STILL HAS ACCESS TO THEIR EQUIPMENT.
SO. MY MAPS ARE NOT AS NICE AS MR. MCNAB'S, BUT. SO THIS IS THIS THIS WILL BE SUBDIVISION ONE, SUB ONE, AND THEN ALL IN THE RED WILL BE ONE EASEMENT HERE.
SO MR. MCNAB IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM.
IF I DIDN'T EXPLAIN IT WELL ENOUGH.
WELL. NO WONDER WHY THE SOLAR ARRAY IS NOT AN IMPORTANT PART.
AND THE REASON WAS THAT WE KNEW THAT HE EMPLOYED A MAN IN A HURRY WHEN THE SOLAR AT THAT AND THAT TIME TRACK CAME ALONG, HE PUT DOWN A VERY LARGE NEW PROCESSING AREA FOR ANYTHING FULLER, LARGER THAN ONE.
AND THIS FULLER IS THE ONE TO OFFSET THE WHOLESOME POWER AND IS A 300 PENALTY.
SO THAT WHEN WE MADE INTO THE WASHINGTON AREA, WHEN WOMEN LIKE ME.
MEN. SO STATION AND ALL THE AREA SUPPLIED BY THAT SAME STATION AND THEN SATURATED WITH FULLER OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER SUCH THAT.
HERE'S WHAT THE ISSUE FOR CHESTER WAS UNDER CONTRACT.
AS A RULE, THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SEND THEY HAD MET IN THE HIGH
[00:10:10]
VOLTAGE CIRCLE.THEY HAVE TO CATER FOR THEM NOW AND ADD MORE SOLAR THAT FIT INTO THE AREA. THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION.
HE LAID ME ON THE RIGHT HAND OF ME, WAS MAKING FUNNY THAT HE WILL AND ME HIM AND HE MAKES ME AND OTHER THINGS.
THEN THE SOLAR WENT TO THE WALL OF THE SUBSTATION AND RESIDENT ESSER POWER.
AND SO THEY SAID, SORRY, YOUR HEART IS IN AN AREA.
AND SO WHEN ONE OF THEM ENDED UP IN THAT NORTH EAST CORNER OF THE FARM ALONG SIMILAR LINES, IT IS ALSO SAID WHY NOT HAVE SOME STRUCTURE WHICH WAS NOT REALLY HELPFUL AND SO FAR HAS.
AND THE HOLY MEN ALLOW US TO LIVE THE SOLAR ARRAY UP IN THAT LOCATION AND THROUGH THE POWER UNTO THE HANDS OF HIM.
WELL, IT IS A DIFFERENT SITUATION.
AND SO THEY HAVE ALLOWED US TO LIVE.
AND THAT IS REALLY NOT A FOUR YEARS AGO AND NOT MANY HOURS.
THE SOLAR LEADERS, THE TWO LEADERS OF THE SOLAR ARRAY AND THEREFORE MEANS ON THE HOLY FIRE, AND WE MET MANY OF THOSE LEADERS.
AND SO THAT IS WAS WHAT? OH, YEAH. OH, NO.
FOLLOWING THE HOLY FATHER WHO? A LIAR WHO WOULD ALSO LIKE TO LIE WITH SOLAR ARRAY EQUIPMENT.
AND BY ME, THE FATHER WILL HAVE A THREE ACRE SITE THERE.
THAT AND WE WILL CONTINUE OWNING THE LAND.
BUT WE CAN SELL THE SOLAR EQUIPMENT TO THIS LIAR.
AND HE CAN RENEW THE SAME ENERGY THAT WE NOW KNOW.
AND THAT IS WHY THERE'S A TWO PART THING IS GOING ON.
AND THIS IS FOR US IN THE HOME.
AND JUST SO YOU ALSO KNOW THAT YELLOW AND ORANGE BOUNDARY CAN LAND WITH THE LAND CENTER IN AN EXISTING ANY.
AND SO AND SO FROM THAT I CREATED WHEN WE LOOK THE PART IN 2006. AND SO THAT IS AN ALARMING ENGAGEMENT AND SUBDIVISION.
AND WHEN I SAY THIS OF HISTORY IN TERMS OF SO THE NUMBER ONE THAT WE HAVE FOR THE WHOLE THING.
AND THEN WE WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE COMMENTARY HERE THAT EVENING, AND COVID-19 HAD THE ENTIRE EVENING WITH THE REMAINING FAITH AND TRUTH HERE.
AND THEN HE HELPED ME TO MOVE TO THE NEXT PERSON.
AND SO WE INQUIRED ALSO, AND WE CONTINUE ON.
AND THEN I FOUND SOMETHING DOWN HERE AS WELL.
AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
NO, I THINK HE EXPLAINED IT VERY WELL.
[00:15:02]
YES, YES. VERY GOOD.YEAH. SO THE, THE THREE ACRE THAT'S COMING OUT, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO OWN THE LAND.
BUT WHOEVER OWNS THE POULTRY HOUSES WILL JUST OWN THE EQUIPMENT AND HAVE ACCESS TO THEM.
SO IF YOU APPROVE THIS, THEN WE HOPEFULLY THIS WILL GO ON.
OCTOBER'S AGENDA, I THINK, IS WHAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT WITH HANNAH.
SO YOU JUST NEED A MOTION AND A SECOND AND.
IT'S NOT GOING TO DISRUPT ANYTHING IN THAT REGARD THAT WE APPROVE THIS REQUEST.
I'LL SECOND IT. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ALL RIGHT.
I'LL SEND THIS ALL UP TO HANNAH TOMORROW, AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S ALL.
THAT'S IT. WELL, THANK YOU ALL.
YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE ON THE AGENDA.
UNLESS YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.
WHERE'S THE BRIDGE? ON SWAMP ON THAT LONG SWAMP ROAD? IT'S AT THE MIDDLE OF THE WAY, CLOSER TOWARDS OLD DENTON ROAD, WHERE THERE'S LOTS OF WATER.
CAN YOU ZOOM IN ON THAT AREA AND I CAN PULL IT UP? ALRIGHT. LET'S GO OVER TO HIGHWAY 20, SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHERE THIS IS.
THIS IS IS THAT THE AUCTION ROAD SPLIT? YEAH, THAT IS SO.
SO IT'S FURTHER BACK TOWARDS FEDERALSBURG.
THAT HE'S HERE, I CAN PULL IT UP ON MY PHONE.
PROBABLY A LOT EASIER WITH THIS APP I GOT.
ARE YOU PULLING IT UP? LIKE, ARE YOU JUST GOOGLING THE ADDRESS? I THINK IT'S.
SWITCH IT BACK. DROPPING IT BACK ON. YEAH.
OH, NO. THIS IS ON. THIS IS ON.
I KNOW IT'S IN THAT LITTLE. YEAH, IT'S BACKWARDS TO ME.
UP A LITTLE MORE. SO IT'S RIGHT ABOUT THERE.
IT'S RIGHT IN THERE. RIGHT IN THERE.
IS IT REALLY, LIKE BAD BRIDGE? IT'S PRETTY BAD.
YEAH. I'VE SPRAYED IT BEFORE FOR THE GUY, AND IT'S JUST BARELY WIDE ENOUGH TO GET A SPRAYER THROUGH.
LIKE YOU COULDN'T EVEN GET A PLANTER DOWN THE ROAD.
REALLY? YEAH, IT'S, LIKE, VERY NARROW.
AND IT'S AN OLD ONE. YOU ALMOST GOT TO.
YEAH, IT'S AN OLD WOODEN BRIDGE.
YEAH. ACTUALLY ALL THE BRIDGES HE HE NAMED ARE THEY.
YOU KNOW, SMITHVILLE ROAD AND THAT ONE.
ARE THEY GOING TO REPLACE SUICIDE BRIDGE ROAD? THE SUICIDE BRIDGE ONE.
THAT'S A WOODEN BRIDGE. THAT'S DORCHESTER.
YEAH. BUT THAT'S. YEAH, THAT'S THE PICTURE OF IT.
IT'S JUST WIDE ENOUGH TO GET A SPRAYER THROUGH.
RIGHT. AND IT'S NARROW, YOU KNOW, LIKE SOME OF THE DORCHESTER ROADS ARE NARROW.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE GOING ACROSS THAT BRIDGE.
I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THAT THEY STILL HAVE IT.
YEAH. MATTER. MATTER OF FACT, I THINK MY UNCLE TOLD ME.
HE SAID HE SPRAYED IT FOR THE GUY ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND HE SAID YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE A HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD NOW.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. BUT IT'S.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE THE BRIDGE INVENTORY FROM LIKE THE, THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION HAS THE NATIONAL BRIDGE INVENTORY. AND THAT SHOULD BE ON THERE AS LIKE.
[00:20:03]
YEAH, LIKE A SERIOUS LIKE IT'S BAD.OKAY. AND THEN THEY'LL FORWARD IT OVER TO BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
DID THEY SAY HOW QUICK THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GET ON IT ONCE IT'S EVERYTHING'S APPROVED? I GUESS THAT'S ONE THING I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT.
I JUST THIS HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS.
JUST I THINK IT SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS THAT THIS WAS A MALE PROPERTY.
SO THAT'S THAT'S BEEN THE HOLDUP, BUT.
AND BUT MR. NEFF IS IS IN AGREEANCE WITH THIS, AND BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO YEAH, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUY THEM.
YEAH. WELL HE SAID THEY, THEY GOT THE ROBINSON SIDE ON THE LEFT, BASICALLY OUR LEFT FACING IT.
THEY GOT THE APPROVAL FOR THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE IT'S NOT IN AMUSEMENT.
SO WHAT HAVE THIS BEEN DONE WITHOUT THIS HAVING HAPPENED WITH THIS? WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN DONE THIS YEAR? I'M NOT SURE.
I THINK I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE.
YEAH. SO I MEAN IT ACTUALLY ALL THREE BRIDGES HE HAD BEEN HEARING ABOUT THAT ONE.
MAINLY THIS ONE IN SMITHVILLE OR.
YEAH, SMITHVILLE ROAD ONE THIS HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME, SAY TWO YEARS.
YEAH. AT LEAST SMITHVILLE ROAD.
THEY'VE BEEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT IT.
THAT WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE NEXT ONES WHEN THEY DID NOBLE ROAD.
SO YEAH IT'S NOT A QUICK PROCESS BUT IT'S ONE THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE.
SO. IF YOU GUYS ARE DONE DO I HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
YOU CAN MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? HI. HI. ALL RIGHT.
