I would like to let the applicants know uh conditional use permits take four affirmative votes for approval. We are short three planning board members here tonight. U so if you are one of the conditional use permit applicants if you have a concern of only having four of us here to vote, you do have the option to table that till the next month's meeting. But that will be your call and I'll let you address that as we we go forward. So on top of those we have several other single family residential county land development hearings replat of one and two Cody Watson replat of 7A Country View subdivision replat of 8A Country View subdivision Garcina minor subdivision replat of 5B and C Magnolia acre subdivision repat of lots 9 and 10 War Eagle Cove subdivision. And then we do have one preliminary largescale development for Pleasure Heights Church. Any changes to the agenda as stated?

No, sir. As presented. I'll entertain a motion for approval of that. A motion to approve the agenda as presented. Second. We got a motion in a second. All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? All right. We'll start with Wooseywood CU. Is the applicant here for that one? You want to hear it tonight? You good with this proceeding? Yeah. Okay. We'll start with the uh staff report on this one, please.

Vicinity map, site map, neighbor map. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a custom lumber manufacturing facility. The subject property is currently 31.93 acres. A 6.74 acre property split will occur after the CUP approval with the project occupying approximately 4.7 acres. Currently, the subject property is under contract. The final finalization of sale and property ownership transfer is expected after the approval and ratification of the CUP project. The facility will will use existing concrete pads from former poultry houses for new construction, resulting in about 30,500 square ft of imperous surfaces less than the previous 30 to 500 square ft. This cup request is to allow the project to be constructed across three phases. If approved, each phase of the project will be required to proceed through the full largescale development approval process. To date, planning staff has not received any complaints regarding this project.

Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I interrupt you. I apologize. These are the three phases of the project. And then the produ production hours will vary due to weather and market conditions. While customer hours are expected to be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays with four to five employees each operating day. A detention pond and a dry hydrant will be engineered dur during the LSD phase to satisfy the West Fork rule fire department safety requirements. Okay. Thank you. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. Any questions of staff from board members? Sir,

Sam, could you talk a little a little bit about this dry hydrant and how that works? Uh yeah, normally like the the way it's being asked by the fire department because they don't have the capacity to bring uh 50,000 or more like tank. So they requested like this to be available. So like the dry hydrant basically pulls from the pond that's going to be filled and we're going to talk about like when when the when he applies for the uh for the large scale we're going to discuss like the type of lining the the capacity the size and all of this but it's basically connected to that pond it could be like pulls pulls from there and whenever it need it will cycle it. So, it's just basically another way to say like it's a cool like oldfashioned pump just going to grab from

Yeah. It's going to grab from like that like pond. Yes, sir. Okay. Any other questions of board members of staff? Okay. Seeing none, I'll have the applicant come up. Introduce yourself to us. You'll have to punch the button. Get the little red light to come on. Sir, there's an arrow. Yeah. There you go. Can you hear me? Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

All right. My name is Roy Pilgrim. I'm a co-owner of Pilgrim Login LLC and I'm representing Woolsey Wood Project this evening. I think Sam covered most of the basics. One thing I would like to add about the retention pond for the for our fire safety u protection there is that it will also be located on immediately adjacent to a hard surface road that will support 75,000 pounds of weight in all weather. So, um, should be a a well-gineered asset there. Um, other than that, I think Sam covered most of the basics. I would just like to add on another note that I'm truly excited about this project, what this project could bring to our community. As a logger and a person that is deeply involved in land use and conservation, I can tell you that it's really important to have access to specialty markets for responsibly harvested timber. When we can add value to our natural resources right here locally, it gives us a greater ability to implement best management practices and sound stewardship while also paying forest land owners fairly for what their timber is worth. I am hopeful that this business will add a few well-paid and fulfilling careers into the local economy and supply a need for highquality local wood products right here in Northwest Arkansas and beyond. I appreciate your time and consideration this evening and I'm hopeful that I will have the opportunity to better serve this community. Thank you.

Got two questions for you. Yes, sir. You have some sort of idea on the timeline of the phases, how quickly the different phases will come before us,

right? I think that uh phase one, it's going to be about 12 to 18 months, something like that. Um we are closing on the property on July 24th, so any work will be after that. As you may have noticed in the uh in the application, the current state of the property is is several older turkey houses that are in various states of disrepair. So, the first thing is just going to be getting all that cleaned up and making the property beautiful. And then, uh yeah, phase one, I think about a year to a year and a half. And then phase two and three are going to really depend on the fiscal success of phase one. So, it's hard for me to predict exactly then. I would say if everything goes good with phase one, I'm thinking five years would be

That's perfectly fair. I was just more curious than anything. The other only other question I had is the planning conditions uh for approval. Have you read those? Are you okay with all the proposed conditions on Yes, sir. Yeah, we've been over that and I've talked back and forth with he's been one him and like the following project they were like the honestly been like model applicants. We've never had any issue with any thing we've asked. These folks have been really good to work with for sure. Any other questions of the applicant from other board members? And the surveying, I guess the surveying for the property already started this this week, I believe. So, yes. So, Tim West right here with Atlas is is doing our surveying and our lot split and they're right in the middle of all that. Okay.

Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Anybody from the public like to make public comment on this. If you would please come and state your name and address for the record. My name is Alan Kerman, 13166 Hickory Creek Road, Low, Arkansas 72745. I'm representing the Jerry and Rof Kerman Trust. Uh my brother Joe and I are the co-owners and co-rustees of the trust. We own the property immediately adjacent to the north side of the of the subject area. Uh just a couple things I'd like to point out on the map before I get started. If you go to the neighbor map and also to the summary map on the summary map directly north of the line there is a pond which the fact that he's mentioning a retention pond there. I'd want to make sure to find out where that is. I would ask the commission to be careful to protect our pond that is used for livestock stuff. Right now, the property, our property is currently being used for recreation and we also let a person that we don't throw our lives grazing and build the hay off of keep it cut down. Uh, also on the site map, the neighbor map, if you look to the very northeast corner of that where the circle is, that was a homestead. There is electricity down there. There's a fairly good secure storage building. There's a septic field down there and there is a well there uh that we vacated that my parents did whenever the turkey houses were built within about 50 yards of that home. Make it uninhabitable at the time. So, uh some things I'd ask the commission to keep in mind. Basically, when I whenever I look at this, I'm very I can't say I'm totally against it because my choices are turkey houses that are dilapidated and be on our border or noisy neighbors

who may be better neighbors, you know. So, you know, it's really kind of hard. But some things I'd ask you to look at to protect our interest. Number one is to protect our pond. Make sure that it's in good shape. Uh protect the homestead. you know, just because someone lives down there doesn't mean that we haven't had thoughts of going back down there or building a tiny home or we have two sons in their 20s that, you know, we thought about making something that they could use there and we intend on cleaning that up. But again, those turkey houses in the state they are with uh debris blowing over every time there's a south wind makes it don't want to invest in it until we figure out what's going to happen to turkey house. Um, you know, he talks about there being six to eight parking spaces for employees. I'd want to make sure that there's no heavy equipment parking or that the heavy equipment parking is limited there from their existing logging business. Um, again I mentioned the noise. We we lost the ability to qu have quiet enjoyment of our property due to the smell that was there you know a few year several years ago and then the dilapitated and lack of care on the turkey houses. Now, we're talking about noise, and I know that all these things are soft things, but they do affect our enjoyment of the property and what we'd like to do with it. Um, I'd like to make sure that the time that the times be addressed, operating times also. Uh, my sons do like to hunt down there. We do like to go down there and again, the quiet enjoyment of our property at least have some time to be reasonable times to be able to do that. Uh, that retaining pond does concern me. I hadn't heard of that, you know, really got into that before. I'd ask that there be considerable efforts made to protect our property from any effects of that retaining pond and make sure that the runoff is taken care of. And then I know that y'all's lane does include the EPA, but and there are permits there, but we will have a few things to say on that in order to protect our interest also.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Kdman. I will address the the hours of operation are set as part of this. We are looking at the conditional use permit tonight. The large scale development process will be where more of your specific concerns come into play. You will get public notice on that and you will have an opportunity to speak specifically to those when we do the large scale development side. Okay. Thank you for your time. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. All right. Anybody else from the public like to address this? If you would please come and state your name and address for the record.

Hey, Daniel Hood, 2853 West Verona Lane here in Fville. Um, I'm a biologist. I I work in the northwest Fateville uh area and I I just wanted to express my support for Royy's project and um just from my professional experience, the need for something like what he's trying to do um as a biologist, I'm working with with land owners and you know, game and fish and different government agencies, NRCS and all that that have programs to try and promote things like timber stand improvement. You know, so much of the forest around here is overcrowded and from a overall you know ecological health of the forest it needs thinning like what was talking about. Um so there's programs in place to help land owners do that and you can go through the whole application you can get financial assistance to even do it and you still the limiting factor is finding a logger that wants to come out and do work on smaller you know I say smaller anything below 40 acres or a project where you want to keep your you know your large oaks and stuff like that for wildlife management. Um, and you just can't get loggers to come out and who want to do that because of the the profit margin is so small and uh, you know, you're having to ship things out of the area, you know, kind of going against keeping things local and all that. I think that's what Roy is uh, really filling that that need in the area. um from my point of view, from a biological and forest health point of view, I think it would be a really great thing to have that resource here um for the community and I think it fits right in with Northwest Arkansas providing local jobs and keeping things local and local products. Um I've worked with Roy on a few projects and I' I've seen his job sites and you know I know he's not just saying those things that he's very conservation-minded. you know, from a biologist point of view, working with

the logger, you know, he's goes way above and beyond as far as road, you know, putting in roads and cleaning up job sites and and really saving and preserving resources, you know, for the next generation. So, um I think that kind of, you know, from my point of view, um that it would be a great resource to have that in our in our area. So, okay. Thank you for your input. We appreciate it. Anybody else from the public like to address this item? You would please come and state your name and address for the record.

Hi, my name is uh Josh Hart. Uh my address is uh 101 Smoky Lane, Fateville, Arkansas. Um and I am just here to support u in a couple of ways. Uh mostly representing as a customer. Uh I own Natural State Tree Houses and we've had a business relationship with Roy for for quite a while. Uh several years off and on. Um and basically our the core of our business is uh as a sustainable builder. So we do, you know, public playgrounds, we do uh school playgrounds, we do public parks. We're doing actually quite a few parks here in the city of Fateville this year. And our goal is basically to balance uh sustainably sourced materials with economic interests. Um and so we're in kind of a unique position of being, you know, a business owner, also an environmentally minded company, tree hugger supporting a logger. And really our dream was to find a company like Pilgrim Logging. I mean, they have just been unbelievable to work with, uh providing products that we truly can't buy anywhere else. Um, and you know, as as a resident, as a you know, a long time, you know, I've lived here my whole life. What is being said about the forest health and about the attention that they spend on really taking care of the woods um is is so true. We've seen that in evidence. Um, and you know, as y'all know, we have a very long history of the logging industry in in Arkansas. And it can be done well or it can be done poorly. And this is kind of the very best version of logging that I've ever seen. Um, the worst version, I think, is largescale things cut in Arkansas, shipped out of state, sold to Lowe's. Lowe's then turns around and sells it back to the residents of Arkansas. That just seems like a silly process. So, um, I have nothing but good

things to say about about Roy. So, kind of as a character witness, but also as a customer, we're extremely excited about uh the partnership that we already have getting to be larger and being able to serve all of these things from um you know, we're actually talking about um you know, sustainable structures for Fateville's homeless pro uh problem. We're talking about public parks. Um and then we're talking about tree houses, which is kind of the core of our business. So, uh, we just see Pilgrim as as a good partner and somebody that can help us in so many ways. So, I really hope that, uh, all this goes well because we're excited. Appreciate it, Mr. Hart. Thanks for your input.

All right. Anybody else in the public like to address this item?

If you would please sate your name and address for the record.

Okay. My name is Josh Brown. Live on Highway 45 East. It used to be Route One. Now it's Mission Street. Whole time I've been there, my address has changed six times, but I've never moved. Anyway, uh so Roy and Reyes are my boys and uh it seems like the pros and cons of the of the proposal have been pretty well, you know, they're pretty well out there. But I would just like to say that I firmly believe this project is good for the um neighborhood. Well, their neighborhood and the community at large, my neighborhood. And uh these boys are dedicated and hardworking and committed and most of their endeavors involve thinking beyond just themselves and this is one of them. And uh I call them boys, they're men, but they'll always be my kids. And one other aspect of the project is a couple of the younger brothers are committed to helping the world move away from fossil fuel. So they have battery powered trucks, lawnmowers, tractor, etc., etc. Um and and they'll be involved in this in deliveries and all landscaping and mowing of the

premises and whatnot. So uh um yeah, that's about it. um except um and they're well aware of the problems with batteries. So they're the they're always looking and keeping up with the the effort for better batteries. Anyway, but maybe I should have kept my granddaddy's buggy. I don't know. Maybe we'll get back to that. And when I told someone I was going to come give my little spiel, they said, "Maybe you should consult u AI to help you." And you all can probably tell that I didn't. Um, but all my life AI meant artificial incimination, and now it means something else. But I see a little similarity between the old AI and the new AI. Thanks for your

Thank you, sir. Appreciate Appreciate your input. All right. Anybody else like to make public comment on this item? Seeing none, I'll close it and bring it back to the board for action. Well, first thing, I'd like to have a card from Mr. Pilgrim if you got one before you go. Um, and I would recommend approval of the Wolywood CUP. We got a motion. Is there a second? I'll second that.
