The invocation was delivered by Supervisor Bradshaw. // Steve Wills, Isle of Wight resident, appeared and expressed concern relative to the proposed County jail. Mr. Wills stated he wanted to voice his opposition stating he feels the location of the jail at the Courthouse would definitely infringe on residents' rights as taxpayers. Mr. Wills continued stating he does not feel the proposed location for the jail is a good location because there is a main highway and several secondary roads which could provide adequate escapes. Mr. Wills further commented the location is undesirable because of the Academy across the road. He recalled an incident where a prisoner escaped from the holding cell and found refuge in bushes in his yard across the road and later was found in the teachers' room at the Academy. Mr. Wills stated he has been a tolerant resident while the dog pound, school bus garage, antenna was installed and adjacent property was rezoned for a convenience store, but he is definitely opposed to the jail. Mr. Wills feels the construction of a jail will devalue his property, as well. Mr. Wills recommended the jail be constructed in an isolated area in the County. Mr. Wills asked the Board to please consider a different location for the County jail. // Chairman Bradby recognized Sheriff elect, Charles W. Phelps, who stated he is looking forward to working with each and everyone and hopes we have a good relationship.t // Planning Director Lewis presented the following conditional use permit applications for the Board's consideration: 1.
