THAT'S GOING TO BE EXHIBIT A THREE PAGES IN YOUR PACKET. THE BOARD ORDER WAS SENT VIA CERTIFIED MAIL WAS SIGNED

[00:25:02]

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? >> THANK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING MR. WHITE? >> I DO, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU. AS MS. TRACHSEL INDICATED GIVEN THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS PROPERTY, WE'VE DECIDED EVERYONE WOULD BE BEST SERVED IF WE MOVED INTO A PERMIT PHASING PROCESS. VERY HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE TO YOU THAT AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, WE WERE ABLE TO INITIATE THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS.

ESSENTIALLY THAT WILL BE FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS, SIDING, EXTERIOR COMPONENT AND CLADDING FOR THAT PROJECT. AS MS. TRACHSEL INDICATED PHASE TWO WILL INVOLVE SOME MORE ENGINEERING COMPONENTS OF THE BUILDING. GIVEN THE REMOTE AND COVID THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK FOR SEVEN TO EIGHT WEEKS.

AT THAT POINT IN TIME ONCE WE RECEIVE THAT, WE WILL MOVE INTO PHASE TWO OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS. AT THE END OF THE DAY WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT ALL OF THIS WILL COME TOGETHER FOR MISS ANDERSON, INCLUDING SEWER AND WATER OR SEPTIC AND WELL AND ELECTRICITY AT THE END OF THE DAY. BUT WE DO BELIEVE WE'RE ON A REASONABLE COURSE NOW. MS. ANDERSON SECURED THE SERVICES OF A GENERAL CONTRACTOR. WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH HIM AND WE ARE NOW UNDERWAY. AGAIN, AS MS. TRACHSEL INDICATED, WE WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BOARD'S ASSISTANCE IN MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE NECESSARY PERMITTING IS FOLLOWED THROUGH AT THE END OF THE DAY.

I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE DID ALSO RECEIVE AN ACCEPTABLE CERTIFICATE ELEVATION ON THE PROJECT. THEY'RE ACCEPTABLE AND MEETS THE REQUIRED D.E.P. AND LOCAL ELEVATION REQUIREMENTS.

SO THAT IS GREAT NEWS FOR EVERYONE CONCERNED. THAT IS THE EXPRESS PURPOSE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PERMIT PHASE ONE THIS AFTERNOON. THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> THANK YOU MR. WHITE. ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS FROM THE BOARD?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN ALEX CLAY WITH A QUESTION FOR MS. TRACHSEL.

IS THERE A REASON FOR JANUARY 25TH? >> IT SEEMS PRETTY FAR OUT FOR DOING PHASED TWO THINGS HERE FOR THE FIRST PHASE JUST SIDING, CLADDING, DOORS WINDOWS AND ALL THAT STUFF. ARE WE EXPECTING TO GET PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO IN

BY JANUARY 25TH? >> HE CAN'T GET PHASE TWO UNTIL SEVEN OR EIGHT WEEKS AND WE'RE -- DECEMBER HEARING WAS ONLY FOR EMERGENCY.

WE PUT IT ON DECEMBER 15TH IT WAS TUESDAY IT'S ONLY FOR EMERGENCY CASES.

SO OUR GOAL IS TO NOT HAVE A DECEMBER HEARING FOR YOU. >> OKAY, I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

>> IT'S OUR HOPE I BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE WINDOWS AND DOORS AND SIDING IT'S OUR HOPE THAT ON JANUARY 25TH WE CAN PRESENT TO YOU A GOOD PHASE EFFORT THAT THEY'VE STARTED THAT MITIGATION. THAT WAY IN THE EVENT BECAUSE THE ENGINEERING APPOINTMENT THEY HAVE IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS ONLY A CONSULTATION.

THEY HAVEN'T NAILED IT DOWN THAT THAT PERSON IS ACTUALLY GOING TO TAKE THAT JOB.

SO THEY MAY HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE THEY HAVE TO LOCATE ANOTHER ENGINEER.

SO WE WANT TO SEE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT ON THE FIRST PHASE BY THAT JANUARY DATE.

>> OKAY. >> MR. CLAY. >> HOWARD WHITE BUILDING

OFFICIAL. >> IF I MAY ELABORATE SLIGHTLY ON THAT.

I DON'T WANT TO UNDERESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF COMPONENTS AND CLADDING AND PERMITTING ON THIS PROJECT. I KNOW I KIND OF SWEPT THROUGH THAT RATHER QUICKLY.

IT'S A NUMBER OF WINDOWS AND ALWAYS ALL IMPACT RESISTANT. A LOT OF THE SHEATHING A SUBSTRUCTURAL NEED TO BE REPLACE. ALMOST ALL OF THE SIDING.

ALMOST ALL THE SOVIET AND FAIRIA. SO THAT PHASE ONE IS QUITE

[00:30:01]

SO WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE IN A GOOD TIME FRAME TO ENTER INTO PHASE TWO.

PHASE TWO WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BRING IN SOME STRUCTURAL DECK IMPROVEMENTS STRUCTURAL BEAM IMPROVEMENTS AND PROBABLY REQUIRE ACCESS TO THE STRUCTURE WHICH WILL REQUIRE D.E.P. PERMITTING, WHICH THE CONTRACTOR IS ALREADY WORKING ON.

SO, AGAIN WE HOPE ALL THIS COMES TOGETHER IN A REASONABLY TIMELY FASHION.

BUT THE COMPONENTS AND CLADDING PIECE OF THIS IS QUITE AN UNDERTAKING.

>> THANK YOU MR. WHITE. >> ARE ARE YOU GOOD MR. CLAY?

>> YES. >> MS. ANDERSON DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BRING

AND PRESENT BEFORE THE BOARD? >> NO, I THINK THAT RIGHT NOW EVERYTHING IS ON A GOOD TRACK. I WILL LET YOU KNOW THOUGH AS OF THIS WEEKEND I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES BEFORE WHEN THE LAND SEPARATED ON THE OLD A 1 A AND THE -- THAT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEKEND SO I'M HOPING THAT THE CONTRACTOR IS ABLE TO ACCESS

THE PROPERTY FROM THE BACK END. >> SO IT BROKE THROUGH TO

THE SOUTH OF YOU? >> YEAH, IT'S RIGHT WHERE THE LAST HOUSE ENDS IT COMPLETELY WENT THROUGH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO DRIVE DOWN TO THE PROPERTY. AND THE WATER HAD COMPLETELY ATTACHED ITSELF AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW BAD IT IS. THE CONTRACTOR WAS GOING TO GO BACK UP THERE TODAY JUST TO SEE IF IT WAS A MAJOR BREAK.

BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD LET Y'ALL KNOW THAT THAT WAS GOING ON AGAIN.

>> OKAY. >> ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT MR. WHITE?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, WE ARE AWARE OF THAT. IT HAS BEEN KIND OF AN ONGOING ISSUE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE COUNTY IS GOING TO DO IN TERMS OF ADDRESSING THAT. BUT HISTORICALLY, WE'VE FILLED THAT BREACH IN TIME

AND TIME AGAIN. >> SO ARE YOU GOOD. YES THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> I APPRECIATE ALL Y'ALL'S HELP. >> IF WE HAVE NO MORE

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS FROM THE BOARD WE NEED A MOTION. >> MR. CHAIRMAN MR. HOLDSBERG I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION CASE 19-05 E9 297 OLD A1A.

>> TO CONTINUED VIOLATION AND ORDER THE FOLLOWING. RESPONDENT IS TO FINISH THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND START REPAIRS BASED ON THE PENDING ISSUED PERMIT.
