LARRY D. BRADFORDLocal Government Representative from Shenandoah County

Mr. Bradford is the Town Manager of Woodstock, the county seat of Shenandoah County.He previously served in the Governor's Office of Federal-State Relations and as executive director of Region 4 Planning and Development Council in West Virginia.A graduate of West Virginia University, he brings 26 years of experience in community planning, consensus building, tourism development, and public administration to the Commission's work.He is a member of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club.

Why he agreed to serve on the Commission : As growth and development consumes the Shenandoah Valley, I desire to participate in an organization whose specific task is to preserve and protect our Civil War heritage.

Woodstock Town Manager Larry Bradford believes the town's recent plans to allow for the construction of new homes on the Eagle property and elsewhere in town will not overtax the current sewer system.

"The county just did a study, and they say we'll still have 1,300 taps left," he asserted.

Bradford does not believe too many houses will be built in the next two years.He anticipates the new sewage facility will be operational no later than 2009.
...
Bradford believes the county landowners who are threatening the lawsuit are uninformed as to the proffers being paid on the Eagle property.

"How do they know what the developer is paying?"he queried.
...
Bradford refused to reveal last week the actual amount of the proffer for the Eagle property.Since the money is to be paid to the county and the town, the documents are a matter of public record.

"Right now we're being faced with a suit," he said, "so It's hard for me to state."

According to Woodstock Town Manager Larry Bradford, the letter was delivered to the town office the afternoon of the last town council meeting.Bradford says the council has not discussed the letter.
...
Bradford anticipates the town will be able to meet DEQ requirements by the deadlines.He states that the fine was the result of "two accidental discharges to the river," one of which lasted only "an hour or two."

The citizens' letter states that "some of us have personally witnessed raw sewage floating in the river as a result of the plant's current inadequacy."

Bradford stated "the sewage plant has a capacity to have additional customers" and doesn't think the currently proposed building projects in Woodstock, including that being developed on the Eagle land, will overtax the sewage system.

Among the guests were County Administrator Vince Poling, Supervisor Dennis Morris; Woodstock Mayor Bill Moyers; Woodstock manager Larry Bradford; Susie Hill, coordinator of economic development and tourism; Greg George, vice president of Virginia Savings Bank and guest speaker; Rev. Dr. S. Paul Rowles; and Del.

Mr. Larry Bradford, 1112 Meadowview Drive, Euless, Texas stated he is the applicant.He stated he would like to clarify that regarding the screening (chain link) fence, they plan to use screening slats on the east property line from the back of the building to the back of the property, on the west side of the gateway and behind the homes.He stated the variance on the dumpster enclosure has been requested, because when they slat the fence the dumpster will be behind the building and slatted fence and will not be visible from Pipeline Road.

Mr. Larry Bradford stated he believes the lighting requirements do not apply to his project, because his parking lot will only be open from sun up to sun down and will not be open to the public.He stated he believes these lights could also be knocked over by the large machinery/equipment which will be operating in his parking lot.He stated their intent is to put lighting packs on the east side of the building, the south side of the building, a four light standard at the end of the fire lane and three existing overhead lights at the north end of the property.

Mr. Larry Bradford stated the current yard, which they have been using for the past 7 years, is made up of a combination of gravel-based material and recycled asphalt.He stated it is hard-packed.He stated at the end of the project they plan to put another 1"-1 ½" layer of recycled asphalt on top.He stated this will only leave a small portion at the back of the property that is not paved, but it should curb the dust.He stated now there is dust when the trucks go in and out.

Vice Chairman McNeese closed the public hearing due to no proponents/opponents present.

Commissioner Hughes asked if the concrete firelane will withstand the transition between the loose asphalt and the concrete and if the heavy trucks will break up the concrete.Mr. Larry Bradford stated the yard is already compacted and the level of the yard and the loose asphalt will be the same as the concrete.He stated they will continue to maintain this.

Commissioner Hughes asked what the largest type of equipment will be parked at this facility.Mr. Larry Bradford stated it will be a semi-truck.Commissioner Hughes asked if there will be large earth moving machinery parked at this location.Mr. Bradford stated he has one tenant with small trackloaders and bulldozers, but would not like to get into the earth movers.

Commissioner Hughes asked if owner/operators would unload equipment at this facility.Mr. Bradford stated yes.Commissioner Hughes asked if owner/operators would maintain equipment (such as hydraulic fluid) at this location.Mr. Bradford stated it is a possibility that an owner/operator could maintain equipment at this location.Commissioner Hughes stated Mr. Bradford would not be able to oversee all operations and asked about the possibility of a fluid spill at this location.Mr. Bradford agreed that this could be a possibility.

Commissioner Hughes asked how much property separates this land from the Texas Star Golf Course.Mr. Bradford stated that the northeast corner of this property touches the northeast corner of the golf course and the southeast corner of this property touches the southeast corner of the golf course.

Commissioner Sloan stated his concern for this property in close proximity to Texas Star Golf Course and questioned if this is the best use of this land.

Commissioner Hughes stated he is in favor of the screening (fence) requirement, because it will be slatted and in favor of the dumpster screening requirement.
