mean the stabilization of soil to a depth of three
(3) feet and restoration of site vegetation and
topography to pre-existing condition, provided that

future site use, environmental and adjacent property
impacts. The Director of Planning may approve a

restoration. If decommissioning is phased, then such

that such action would mitigate impact upon protected
environmental features or there exist other site-
specific features where underground placement of
lines is not feasible. (P)
9. Health and Safety. Security fencing shall be
provided for areas of the facility at a minimum of
six (6) feet in height, having barbed wire or similar

the facility is operationally capable of power
storage and has not been abandoned.
d. Decommissioning procedures shall be
completed withing one (1) year of decommissioning
notice, abandonment of the facility, or a shorter
time period where in writing building official or
other county official determined the facility or some

Unscheduled
matter
Good afternoon to all present
and otherwise. My name is
Aniyah Barnette from North
Chesterfield, 23234, and I am
inquiring the process of
establishing sidewalks in
and/or around the cluster of
cul-de-sacs neighboring
Scotlow circle. There are two
schools (Hopkins Elementary
and Meadowbrook Highschool)
within a 1.2 mile of each
other. I believe sidewalks
starting from the existing
system by road 637, turning
into Little Creek lane (past
the playground) and carrying
down Meadwood circle and
Coldstream drive, finishing on
Phillips lane would enrich the
community in many ways. Not
only does this system protect
two playgrounds from dimly lit
roads and establish foot
traffic for two store plazas,
but it also connects two
existing sidewalk systems for
approximately .5 miles. People
of all ages would be free to
connect and support their
local economy for half a mile
worth of safety precaution.
Virginia's Active
Transportation Planning
manager, Shane Sawyer, is
responsible for the Safe Route
to School program as well as
Bicycle and Pedestrian
programs, and I will leave his
email and number here in hopes
of it aiding in such a
pursuit. Thank you for your
time in advance.
