HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- For more than two hours, a Minnesota-based developer listened to Hanover County residents voicing their concerns over the builder's proposed plan to rezone land in the county to build two warehouses that would benefit small businesses. Among the most controversial aspe cts of Oppidan's proposal are its close proximity to the Hanover Humane Society and concerns about impacts some said are already being felt from a data center currently under construction. MORE: Hanover Humane Society concerned over potential impacts of proposed warehouse development "We have trash from the data center on our property constantly, and it's a problem," Hanover Humane Society Board of Directors President Alethea White-Previs said. Richmond-area attorney Andrew Condlin, representing Oppidan and the Oppidan team presented their plans and ideas to a packed church building at Ashland Christian Center the evening of Thursday, Oct. 8. Not only were concerns about the animals' well-being heard, but some residents also spoke to Oppidan about construction impacts in and around the residential area on Ashland Heights Road. "I want to know what you're gonna do to protect the residents on Ashland Heights Road, the dogs at the kennel, everything," another resident said to Condlin. "Because I'm in a church, I'm trying not to cuss, but I really want to." Another big concern is the warehouses' rules for their tenants, including how semi-trucks should operate in and around the area and how those rules will be enforced. "How many of these vehicles are going to be coming in and out of that road?" another resident asked Condlin and Oppidan. Condlin told 8News the team is waiting on transportation analyses from Ashland, Hanover and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The Oppidan team said in the meeting they are invested in hearing options that work for residents. Oppidan Vice President of Development Woodie Williams shared the following statement with 8News: “We care about the well-being of the animals at Hanover Humane Society and understand the concerns about construction noise near their home. We are beginning conversations with the Humane Society to listen to those concerns and work together to identify practical ways to minimize potential disruption, including our offer to build a fence along the shared property line to help reduce noise. That dialogue will continue throughout planning and construction so we can stay responsive to the needs of the organization and the animals in its care.” Oppidan said they were eyeing a six-foot-tall fence, while White-Previs believes it's a laughable height. "A six-foot fence is not enough," she said. "We have animals that are already being affected." White-Previs told 8News that a meeting between the humane society and Oppidan has not been scheduled yet. Both organizations said they want to meet.
