March 17,2002

To: Sullivan County Commission

Subject: Constable Appointment

The following have submitted their resumes for consideration to be appointed as constable in Dismct 4:

David Campbell

Doug Cross

Jason Nidiffer

Bob Lett

Please note that Bob Lett withdrew his name for consideration effective March 17,2002. It is also my understanding that Mack Glover also filed a petition but he has not submitted a resume to the commissioners.

Paul Milhorn, Carol Belcher and I prefer that the Sullivan County Commission defer this action until the candidates can seek office in the August primary. In this manner, all candidates would receive fair and equitable treatment.

Respectfully submitted,

Dennis Houser

March 7,2001

To: District 4 Commissioners Mr. Dennis Houser Mr. Paul Milhorn Ms. Carol Belcher

I have filed my paperwork to run for constable in the 4th District in the August 1,2002 county election. I would very much like to be appointed to the vacancy of John R. Barham until the election is completed. I have been a resident of Sullivan County for 52 years (my entire life). I was born in District 4 and have lived here for 48 years. I am a Vietnam War Veteran. While serving I was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries received in combat. I believe a constable should be a public servant. For the past 21 years I have worked every school in the Mountain Empire area as a basketball official and/or a baseball umpire. I have worked as a gate supervisor for 14 years at Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragstrip. I feel this experience is invaluable and has taught me how to deal with the public in a professional manner. My experience in law enforcement is as an "MP" while serving in the military. I have been an employee of Sullivan County for 17 years and work most of my time in District 4. I feel that knowing most of the residents makes me a good candidate for serving in this position. Thank you for taking the time to review my resume'. I hope you will appoint me District 4 Constable.

File No. Property Owner: Tax ID: Reclassify: Civil District: Location: Purpose: Surrounding Zoning: PC 1101 Zone:

12/01 #2 Doug Nickels Map 125, Parcel 54.00 A- 1 to B-3 161h Hwy 19E, near Bunker Hill Road, Bluff City area to allow auto-truck sales A-1 immediately snrrounding with B-3 and B-1 in area Sullivan County Rum1 Area --

Neigllborhood OppositionISupport: Staff did not receive any opposition or comment prior to the meeting.

Staff Field Notes/Recommendation: This site is approximately % acre with most of the property being a steep rocky hillside. The flat land is actually in the highway r-o-w other than the existing structure. The picture illustrates the location of the concrete r-o-w ~narkcr found in the field. The old 19E Market building was constructed around 1991, as noted on the appraisal card. The widening of the highway more than likely, created the non-conformity of this structure, as it is currently too close to the front property line. There is a small side yard, which IS level, but the remaining portion of this small lot appears to be unsuitable for the proposed use without substantial costs in cutting and filling. While the parcel would probably be undesirable for single-family residential uses, a general commercial activity, such as that proposed, is not recommended. Staff recommends that this lot be maintained as the initial use, now allowed under a B-1 zone, unless this parcel would be combined with adjacent parcels. Furthermore, the Planning Commission holds a policy of reco~nmending against this commercial zoning reclassification within a rural area, as designated on the Growth Plan Map. Previous policy was to ward against 0-3 rezoning changes along this corridor due to the potential of billboards. TDOT has classified this highway as a Scenic Highway and Bikeway, which would prohibit any future billboards. Staff recommends against this rezoning classification, as the potential uses are not suitable or desirable for this individual parcel. Staff is also greatly concerned that the right-of-way of the highway would be used as parking or storage.

Neighborhood Opposition/Support: A petition was received at the meeting from the neighbors who are against the rezoning. Mrs. Michelle Snyder spoke against the request as she and her neighbors are concerned with increase traffic, safety, noise, property values and the possibilities of undesirable businesses going in next to their new home.

Staff Field Notes/Recomn~endation: Three of these lots are within the established single-family subdivision and two of these lots front on the highway across from the college. All but one are vacant. The three parcels within the subdivision should be classified as R-1 for the protection of the established homes. A planned commercial district is the best alternative zo~iing, which would offer planned protection for the encroaching businesses and the established residential uses. Staff recornillends against this rezoning application as the current PBD zoning achieves the same uses allowed under 0-4 yet offers better buffering and protection to the homes. The R-1 lot (parcel 27) should remain R-1 as it is along Sanders Street within the subdivision and not fronting the highway.

Neighborhood OppositionlSupport: Staff did not receive any opposition prior to the meeting

Staff Field NoteslRecommendatio~~: These parcels, as combined with his brother's land also being petitioned, would serve as extension of the existing B-3 zone. These parcels are vacant and front the highway. As the trend is for similar B-3 uses, these parcels would probably not be desirable for new residential homes. The B-3 district would require a planted huffer strip screening or fencing in the rear yard adjacent to the established single-family homes. According to county records, Mr. Everett Baker owns parcels I?, 20, and recently purchased parcel 18. Staff recommends in favor of this rezoning request.

MINUTES OF THE SULLIVAN COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION

The regular meeting of the Sullivan County Planning Commission was held on Tuesday, February 19,2002 at 7:00p.m., Courthouse, Blountville, Tennessee.

A. Members Present: Members absent: James Greene, Jr., Chainnan Harry Boggs Cathy Mullins Wade Childress, Vice Chairman Mark Selby Scott Barnes Jeff Hickam Carol Belcher Harold Barnes

Staff Representatives: David Moore, Local Planning Ambre M. Torbett, Sullivan County Planner Tim Earles, Sullivan County Building Commissioner Jim Montgomery, Sullivan County Highway Department

The meeting was called to order at 7:07p.m. by the chairman with a quorum present.

B. Approval of January 15,2002 Minutes The minutes from the November, 2001 meeting were reviewed. Motion to accept the minutes as presented by H. Barnes, seconded by Hickam. Motion to accept the minutes passed unanimously.

C. Rezoning Request

(I) File No. 12/OllZ Doue Nickles Reclassif) A-1 property in the 1300 block ofHwy 19-E to B-3 for the purpose of allowing an automobile & truck sales. Property identification No. Tax Map 125, Parcel 54.00 located in the 1 6 ~ Civil District.

No one was present to represent the rezoning.

No opposition was present against the rezoning.

Staff Field Notes/Recommendation: This site is approximately '/z acre with most ofthe property being a steep rocky hillside. The flat land is actually in the highway r-o-w other than the existing structure. The picture illustrates the location of the concrete

r-o-w marker found in the field. The old 19E Market building was constructed around 1991, as noted on the appraisal card. The widening of the highway Inore than likely, created the non-conformity of this structure, as it is currently too close to the front property line. There is a small side yard, which is level, but the remaining portion of this small lot appears to be unsuitable for the proposed use without substantial costs in cutting and filling. While the parcel would probably be undesirable for single-family residential uses, a general commercial activity, such as that proposed, is not recommended. Staffrecommends that this lot be maintained as the initial use, now allowed under a B-1 zone, unless this parcel would be combined with adjacent parcels. Furthermore, the Planning Commission holds a policy of recommending against this commercial zoning reclassification within a rural area, as designated on the Growth Plan Map. Previous policy was to ward against B-3 rezoning changes along this corridor due to the potential of billboards. TDOT has classified this highway as a Scenic Highway and Bikeway, which would prohibit any future billboards. Staff recommends against this rezoning classification, as the potential uses are not suitable or desirable for this individual parcel. Staff is also greatly concerned that the right-of-way of the highway would be used as parking or storage.

Motion to deny the rezoning by H. Barnes, seconded by Mullins. The motion to deny the rezoning request passed unanimously.

(2) File No. 12/01/3 Kenneth Keith Reclassify P.B.D. & R-1 property being Lots 3,4,5,6, & 14 of Tri-City Village subdivision on Sanders Street, Bell Street and Hwy - 75 to B-4 for the purpose of allowing for hture business. Property identification No. Tax map 94-G, Group B, Parcels 27,28,29,30,& 33. located in the 18" Civil District.

Mr. Keith was present to represent the rezoning request. He stated that he just wanted to make the property the same zone as the property that adjoined it. He stated his realtor suggested the change.

Michelle Snyder spoke in opposition to the rezoning. Mrs. Snyder stated that the trafic of the existing streets would not handle any additional business. Mrs. Snyder also submitted a petition signed by the surrounding neighbors.

Mildred Pickle also spoke in opposition to the rezoning. Mrs. Pickle stated that the existing streets were too narrow for increased trafic and the children of the neighborhood wood be in danger with the increased traffic flow.

Staff Field NoteslRecommendation: Three of these lots are within the established single-family subdivision and two of these lots front on the highway across from the college. All but one are vacant. The three parcels within the subdivision should be classified as R-1 for the protection of the established homes. A planned commercial district is the best alternative zoning, which would offer planned protection for the encroaching businesses and the established residential uses. Staff recommends against this rezoning application as the current PBD zoning achieves the same uses allowed under B-4 yet offers better buffering and protection to the homes. The R-1 lot (parcel 27) should remain R-1 as it is along Sanders Street within the subdivision and not fronting the highway.

Motion to deny the rezoning by Hickam, seconded by Selby. The motion to deny the rezoning request passed unanimously.

(3) File No. 1210114 Everett Baker Reclassify R-l property in the 100 block of Hwy 75 to B-3 for the purpose of allowing for future commercial development. Property identification

th . - No. Tax map 65-C, Group C, Parcel 18.00 & 19.00 located in the 5 Ctvtl District.

Mr. Everett Baker was present to explain the rezoning request and to answer questions posed by the Planning Commission.

No opposition was present against the rezoning.

Staff Field NoteslRecommendation: These parcels, as combined with his brother's land also being petitioned, would serve as extension of the existing B-3 zone. These parcels are vacant and front the highway. As the trend is for similar B-3 uses, these parcels would probably not be desirable for new residential homes. The B-3 district would require a planted buffer strip screening or fencing in the rear yard adjacent to the established single-family homes. According to county records, Mr. Everett Baker owns parcels 19,20, and recently purchased parcel 18. Staff recommends in favor of this rezoning request.

Motion to approve the rezoning by Mullins, seconded by Hickam. The motion to approve the rezoning request passed unanimously.

(4) File No. 1210115 Llovd Baker Reclassify R-1 property in the I00 block of Hwy 75 to B-3 for the purpose of allowing for future commercial development. Property identification

Lh . . No. Tax map 65-C, Group C, Parcel 17.00 located in the 5 Ctv~l District.

Mr. Everett Baker was present to explain the rezoning request and to answer questions posed by the Planning Commission.

No opposition was present against the rezoning

Staff Field NoteslRecommendation: This parcel, as combined with his brother's land also being petitioned, would serve as an extension of the existing 8 - 3 district. The property is adjacent to another tract he owns, which has a salon and ofice space within the existing commercial structure. The B-3 district would require a planted buffer strip or fencing along the rear yard adjacent to the established single-family homes. According to county records, Mr Lloyd Baker owns parcels 14, 15, and 16 and recently purchased parcel 17. Staff recommends in favor of this rezoning request.

Motion to approve the rezoning by Mullins, seconded by Hickam. The motion to approve the rezoning request passed unanimously.

D. Subdivisions

(1) James & Sue Crrin. Replat of Mattie E. Ketron Farms

Staff Field NoteslReconlmendation: Staff is waiting for signatures on final plat. All lots meet the minimum zoning and subdivision requirements. Lots shall be served by Kingsport public sewer. Staff recommends approval ofthe plat subject to all signatures presented at meeting.

(2) John Moore. Garden Center Site Plan

Staff Field NoteslRecommendation: Revised site plan was presented at the meeting illustrating the phases of construction, drainage, buffering, erosion & sedimentation controls, parking access, etc. Staff recommends revised plan as presented.

Mr. John Moore was present and spoke on behalf of the site plan and answered questions from the staff

Motion to approve the site plan by Mullins, seconded by Selby. The motion to approve the site plan passed unanimously.

(3) Kenneth & Barbara H a m Gunnines Cell Tower Site

Staff Field NoteslRecommendation: A proposed 195-foot monopole is illustrated on the site plan and survey included in the packet. Staff requested the full landscaping plan on this site due to the proximity and visibility to residential uses. All other setbacks and technical requirements have been satisfied in the material. Staff will ensure all landscaping, compound layout details, grading, seeding and stabilization requirements have been satisfied prior to issuance of any final approval and C.O.

Mrs. Mary Miller was present to represent the Gunnings Cell Tower site. She asked for a deviation in the landscape buffering due to the remote site.

Motion to approve the site plan subject to the alterations in landscape buffering by Mullins, seconded by Selby The motion to approve the site plan passed unanimously.

(4) Confirmation of Minor Subdivision Plats for Januarv.

Motion to approve the presented plat list by H. Barnes, seconded by Mullins. The confirmation passed unanimously, subject to staffs discretion of installed trees and landscaping upon final inspection.

Mrs. Torbett reported the progress made by having a workshop for the Sullivan County Commissioners and their input to the changes of the Zoning Resolution. She stated that due to the lack of commissioners present at the workshop, she would like to schedule another one in the near hture. Mrs. Torbett explained that she had mailed a copy of the

Sullivan County Boartl of Co~nmissiu~iers Sullivan County, Tennessee

1 Severalice Tau Proposal

On March 18, 2002, the Sullivan County Board of Comniissioners will vote to enact a mineral severance tax on all sand, gravel, sandstone, and limestone mined and re~lloved within t l~e hound;rrics of Sullivan County, 'l'cnnessce. Vulcan Materials Company operates two construction aggreg;rte quarries in Sullivan CIounty. Vulcan believes the proposed severance tax may have a niaterially adverse affcct on our . .

opel-ations, oul- e~nployezs, and the comlnunlty.

Due to the high costs associated with transporting construction aggregate, our sales ofconstructio~l aggregate are limited to a confined geographic market area. Our market area consists primarily of Sullivan and Washington counties in Te~lnessee, and some of Scott and Washington coul~ties in Virginia. This market area is highly competitive. Our competitors include several companies with aggregate pl-otluctio~l facilities located in Virginia and Washington County in Tennessee. Due to the lieiglitened a~nourlt of sales tax in [Sullivan County] [Tennessee], we are currently at a 3.75% to 4.0% sales tax disadvantage with respcct to our Virginia competitors. Any ;~dditional tax burden would p ~ ~ t us at a further cost disadvantage and most likely ;~dversely impact oul- sales. Our success is directly related to our ability lo operate at co~npetitive prices.

We cul-rently employ over 34 people at our Sulliva~i County quarries. Any decrease in our sales woi~lii result in decreased product~on schedules and manpower hours at our Sullivan County quarries.

Fu~-tlle~-~iiore, any red~rction i n our s;~les will result in ;i correspontli~ig reduction i n the amount of sales tax paid on aggregate sold f'rom our Sullivan County quarries. This could possibly cause an over all reduction in tax revenue for Sullivan county.

Vulcan is committed to being a good corporate citizen in each community in which we operate, supporting and taking an active part in public and charitable projects. For instance, in Sullivan County, we have two Adopt-A Schools and charitable contributions to Keep Kingsport Beautiful, Keep Bristol Beautiful, Second Harvest Food Bank, Boy Scouts of America, Kingsport Art Council, just to mention a few. We continue to look for additional ways to serve as a productive corporate citizen and facilitate the prosperity of Sullivan County.

Lastly, in 2001, we generated and collected approximately $265,000 in sales and use taxes for Sullivan County from sales of our aggregate materials. We also paid approximately $106,000 to Sullivan County in property taxes during 2001. We are already a significant tax generator for Sullivan County.

We hope that you will consider the impact the proposed severance tax may have on our operations, employees, and community. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Very truly yours, (4!gcz*. .,- Carl Van Hoozier Jr. Regional Sales Manager
