Hi Donna,
Here is the information you requested back in March. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.
1. Zoning ordinance section: 26.2 "General commercial use" [via 24.2.1(2) "Automobile,truck repair
shops"] and 26.3 Additional factors when considering special use permits
2. Existing comp plan land use/density: Office/R&D/Flex/Light Industrial (no density is indicated)
3. Tax map parcel: 0900-00-00-035Q0
4. Zoning district: Light Industry, Entrance Corridor Overlay
i
We are required by ordinance to provide
comments based on our "mandatory pre-application meeting by
Thursday, August 13th. I've attached a set of comments from a different mandatory pre-app meeting earlier
this year to give you a sense of what to expect. (I don't mean to suggest that these comments will apply to
you. I just wanted to give you a chance to see what they could look like because it is a lot of information.)
Thanks,
J.T. Newberry

Mr.Newberry:
How do I get the zoning ordinance section, existing comp plan land use/density,tax map parcel, and zoning
district? Also I need to know number of acres and if this is an amendment to an existing special use permit if so
I need the SP#? I need all this info for the application for special use permit I am filling out. So sorry to bother
you, and thanks for your attention to this matter.
Respectfully,

JT,
Here are my review comments. I'm hoping you can include them in whole since I get into the violation.
Lisa—you can use this letter to draft your NOV because it articulates the violations.

Donna Shull-Shull's Towing
8/3/15 Mandatory Pre-app
Inquiry:They want to do auto repair
- Back story: They are currently leasing the other property and later want to own
- They need two properties at the moment to store cars
- They hope to pave the whole lot someday,currently it is mostly/all gravel
- Currently has well and sewer—they not want to connect to the system if not needed
- There is an approved SP for this site
Removable storage shed
- Did not get permit to put up
- Must be locked for police use
- Issue: Needs a building permit
- 4.1 Zoning Ordinance: If there is a building permit,then ACSA is involved.
Water,Sewage, Plumbing etc.
- There is a worksheet they can go through with ACSA to determine what they need
- Health Department has no records
- She said that the lines are by the air conditioner, not by the side of the property
- The contractor may have info on where the lines are
Parking Lot and Spaces
- Paving would not need a special permit,would need official permission
- If paved,they would have to include drainage system due to impervious surface
- It is a possibility to measure the area of the parking versus individual spots
- Need 1 spot per employee and 2 per service bay.There are two service bays with lifts and there
are 6-8 employees altogether
- It is allowed to stack cars in the back fenced in area
Signs
- There are 2 wall signs and 1 hanging sign
- Need 2 sign permit applications
- Need to acquire the exact color and dimensions of the signs
Fence
- Just redid the fence with chain link: 6 feet with 3 strings of barbed wire
- Needs to have customer lot locked to protect vehicles
- Looking into a solar powered door in the future
- Currently has see through fence which is not allowed by the ARB
- Needs to screen the cars being worked on because of entrance corridor guidelines.
smee
Things the client follows up with:
- They need to amend the Site Plan first—Needs to be to scale with current buildings, parking,
structures,and fences.The original map maker is still in business so they can be contacted to
update the map.
- Check with the contractor to see where the water lines are located (By the air conditioner or on
the property line)
- Fill out 2 sign applications.Check with Front Runner to give pantone match on the red color for
the applications
- Needs to review Architectural Review Board Guidelines on screening and fencing
- Scale and proportion so that you cannot see over or through the fence needs to be resolved
before the Special Permit process.
- Ideas for the fence: move back to the end of the building because employees do not need their
cars locked,or put in another fence in the back that is screened.
- Need to get proof of DEQ approval for painting
- It is possible to have improvements ready by September meeting
- Send out invitation from list of addresses the county provides to adjoining property owners to
attend a community meeting.

Tommy,
Thanks for your email.
I spoke directly with our Zoning Administrator(Amelia McCulley) regarding your request below. She informed me that-
-under our County Code--welding and auto repair have historically been considered separate uses and continue to be
considered separate uses today.We reviewed past ordinances and found that welding was considered a specific use
within industrial districts and auto repair is considered a specific use in our commercial districts.As a result,a special use
permit is required to authorize auto repair in the Light Industry district on Tax Map 90, Parcel 35Q(to be clear,that is
repair on vehicles from the public, not associated with your towing operation).
Some good news: I found the old site plan for this site and have attached a picture of it. If you want to move forward,
then I think I can modify this plan to be used for your conceptual plan.
Also, please view the review schedule for special use permits here:
http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms center/departments/Community Development/forms/schedules/51)e
cial Use Permit & Zoning Map Amendment Schedule.pdf
If you want to be able to submit an application under the next deadline (February 17th),then please contact Francis
MacCall (434-296-5832,ext 3418)as soon as possible to schedule a mandatory pre-app for February 9th. Otherwise,
you'll need to wait another month to submit under the March 16th deadline.

Dear Mr. Newberry:
Thank you for meeting with me yesterday afternoon regarding my request to open my wrecker service and auto
repair service at 1815 Avon St., Ext. Also with my intention being to expand to also having an auto body shop at
that same location. I was pleased to find out that I am approved to go ahead and use this address for my towing
business and auto body business. I am however in retrospect confused as to why I must seek a special use
permit from the county for the auto repair business.
1
•
I am not understanding why I need a special use permit to have an auto repair business when it has been an auto
repair business for maybe thirty years as a welding shop? I am requesting that the County re-evaluate this to see
if this can be grandfathered in as this request to do auto repair is the same use that has always existed. I take
serious my responsibility to my police contracts for the City, County and State and on occasion as part of my
contract I am needed to provide auto repair, (replace bulbs, repair tires, etc.) for police vehicles. Therefore
being I also want to provide auto repair to my own wreckers and to the public I want to be in compliance but do
not feel in this case that I am asking for any special use of this property. I do not feel a special use permit
should be required. I would definitely greatly appreciate the County of Albemarle working with me in this
matter so I can continue to provide great service to our police departments and not have to exclude auto repair
from one of the services I currently provide to them, not only as a source of income but also just as a way to
show my greatest respect for the outstanding service they provide. I look forward to hearing back from the
county and do hope that you will do all you can do to remedy this situation which seems bizarre to me and I
thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Respectfully,

Thank you for our last meeting. I am working on our request. I visited the Health Department and they have no
print out of the septic location-so I am drawing it in on our revised site plan where the owner says it is. I hope
that's acceptable. Also am completing the application for special use permit with the owners info.
I will get back to you soon with a progress report.

4.2 CRITICAL SLOPES
The provisions in this section through section 4.2.5 implement the comprehensive plan by protecting and
conserving steep hillsides together with public drinking water supplies and flood plain areas because of the
increased potential for soil erosion, sedimentation, water pollution and sewage disposal problems
associated with the disturbance of critical slopes. The disturbance of critical slopes may result in: rapid
and/or large-scale movement of soil and rock; excessive stormwater run-off; siltation of natural and man-
made bodies of water; loss of aesthetic resource;and in the event of onsite sewage system failure,a greater
travel disldnce of septic effluent,all of which constitute potential'dangers to The public health,safety and/or"
welfare. The regulations in sections 4.2.1,4.2.2,4.2.3 and 4.2.4 are intended tcf►direct building and onsite
sewage system locations to terrain more suitable to development and to discourage development on critical
slopes, and to supplement other regulations regarding the protection of public water supplies and
encroachment of development into flood plains.
Each request to waive or modify any requirement of sections 4.2.1,4.2.2,4.2.3 or 4.2.4 under section 4.2.5
shall be by special exception under section 31.8.
