RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VOOT) recently held public information
workshops on the Route 29 Corridor Development Study (Project: 6029-963-F01, PE-100, From 1-64 To:
North Carolina State line) which includes the counties of Amherst, Nelson, Albemarle, Pittsylvania and
Campbell; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of these workshops was to provide citizens an opportunity to informally
review and discuss with VOOT representatives draft recommendations for the Route 29 Corridor study, to
include areas of concern, and current and future modes of transportation; and
WHEREAS, representatives from the County of Albemarle had an opportunity to review and
discuss the Route 29 South Corridor with VOOT representatives;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County,
Virginia, does hereby provide the following comments and/or recommendations regarding the Route 29
South Corridor Study:
. The area along the Route 29 South Corridor is D.Qt in the County's Development area. Data developed
by the consultant and verified by the County does .om project signifICant development in this area of the
County through the study period. Therefore. the County does not believe controlled access through
elimination of all individual access points and an extensive system of service roads and signalized
intersections should be assumed as necessary for either Albemarle County or VOOT. The County
~ support the coordination of land use planning and transportation system planning through
specifically incorporating the access management recommendations of the Phase I Corridor Study into
the planning for the Route 29 South corridor in Albemarle and throughout the study area Albemarle
County believes that access management planning is a logical and viable recommendation for the
Route 29 corridor south of Charlottesville. Through proper planning that balances land use and
transportation priorities in the particular sections of the corridOr in the County, appropriate access
management measures can be identified and pursued.
. Use the "Parkway" design cross-section in Albemarle County, without service roads and limited access
whk:h should not be used in Albemarle County. Under no scenario should the "FreeNa'( design
concept be used in Albemarle County. Furthermore. it is not anticipated that signalization of
intersections will be necessary in Albemarle County, but in DQ case is reservation for interchanges at
any Albemarle County intersections necessary.
. Remove the term "to extent practical " from any Comprehensive Plan references in the guidelines for
developing alternatives.
. Double-track the raU line in the corridor to provide increased capacity for freight and passenger service.
. Support one additional AMTRAK train per day along the entire corridor as well as the new Trans-
Dominion E>epreSS servCe bebNeen Charlottesville and lynchburg. Make sure that references to the
Trans-Oominion Express reflect its current status.
. Include a park and ride facUity at the intersection of Routes 29 and 6 to the list of recommended
facilities. This would replace the current informal parking that is occurring at this location.
. Emphasize that transit and pedestrian improvements need to be coordinated and connected to make
these alternatives successful in the corridor.
. Include transit with rkie-share for internet match systems.
:~.
. Neither through-traffic data nor identifiable safety concerns justifies the huge expense of this
proposal.
. The study should show the cost for Albemarle County's portion so that cost benefits can be
determined.

Resolution of Intent to initiate a zoning map amendment to
establish an R-1 Residential District on a property without a
zoning district

STAFF CONTACTlS):
Tucker, Foley, Cilimberg, McDowell
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
A special use permit application has been received that proposes to replace an existing light standard at Klockner Stadium
for a structure that would support the joint County of Albemarle, City of Charlottesville, University of Virginia and CIA
Airport Authority regional 800 MHz public-safety radio equipment. In processing this application, it was learned that the
property is not zoned. Owned by the University of Virginia, the 30.4-acre property contains Klockner Stadium, a track field,
a baseball field, the U-Hall building, and the Frank McCue building.
DISCUSSION:
Staff proposes that a resolution of intent be approved for the County of Albemarle to establish an R-1 Residential District
on property currently not zoned. The basis for this recommendation is as follows;
1. The establishment of a zoning district would allow processing of a special use permit application for one of six
emergency communications towers;
2. The communication tower would not be used exclusively by the University of Virginia; therefore, a zoning district
designation is required;
3. The R-1 Residential District would be consistent with the R-1 zoning on other University property in the immediate
vicinity;
4. The Comprehensive Plan land Use Plan identifies this area as Development Area with a Public/Semi-Public: U
(University of Virginia) designation.
5. The University properties do not have a separate, exclusive zoning designation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution of Intent to initiate an R-1 Residential District zone on Tax Map 76A
Parcel J3 by the County of Albemarle.

Messrs. Tucker, Foley, Cilimberg, Benish
BACKGROUND:
At the December 12, 2000, Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission acted to defer SP 00-58 until January 9,
2001, in order to provide an opportunity for the applicant and staff to discuss unresolved issues concerning conditions of
approval numbers 5, 6, 11, and 14. Staff and the applicant did meet and resolved the issues related to the project and
recommended conditions.
DISCUSSION:
The following are the updated conditions recommended by staff and recommended for approval by the Commission on January
9, 2001. For clarification purposes, minor changes were made to the original conditions provided in the December 12, 2000
staff report: Condition 3 (omitted, as redundant); former Condition 4 - renumbered 3 (actual numbers added); former Condition
5 -renumbered 4, and simplified for clarity (ARB will consider lighting); former Condition 11 - renumbered 10 (portions omitted,
as redundant). In acting on these conditions on January 9, the Planning Commission directed staff to finalize the language
for condition 5 before the Board's review of this special use permit. The language in condition 5 below has been finalized by
Planning and Zoning staff and reflects the intent of the Commission, The conditions recommended by staff and approved by
the Commission are:
1 . Church development shall be limited to the Phase I improvements, as shown on the Site Plan dated September 18, 2000,
and labeled Northside Comm. Fellowship Church. The number of seats shall be limited to 200. Any future expansions
of the facility or of the seating shall require an amendment to the Special Use Permit.
2. The length of time for which the church may begin construction shall be two years, provided all Health Department
requirements at the time of the issuance of building permits shall be satisfied.
3. Commercial setback standards (50 feet for rear and sides), as set forth in Section 21.7.2 of the Albemarle Zoning
Ordinance, for side and rear setbacks adjacent to rural areas shall be maintained.
4. All exterior light fixtures, regardless of lumens, shall be fully shielded and arranged or directed to reflect light away from
adjoining rural area property and away from adjacent streets. A fully shielded fixture means an outdoor light fixture
shielded in such a manner that all light emitted by the fixture, either directly from the lamp or indirectly from the fixture, is
projected below the horizontal. The applicant should be mindful of the County's intent to have multiple, shorter light poles
used on this site as opposed to fewer, taller poles.
5. After dark use of the play area designated temporary playground (on plan from Gloeckner Engineering, revised date
October 27,2000) shall be permitted until no later than 10:00 p.m,
6. Subject to the approval of the Virginia Department of Transportation, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy,
the applicant shall surface the roadway from just beyond the proposed church entrance southward to the end of the
existing asphalt surface. The length of the roadway surfacing would be approximately 600 feet.
7. Clearing of trees for the parking area, driveway, play areas and church shall be kept at the minimum required for the
improvements. Tree prQtection measures shall be employed in order to minimize damage to tree roots.
8. Day care use shall be prohibited unless approved through a special use permit amendment.
9. Trees and plant material shall not be disturbed within 25 feet of the west, north, and south property line buffers.

10. A required landscape plan shall include soil erosion mitigation measures within the critical slope that includes the
installation of trees, shrubs and groundcovers.
11. An additional 25% landscaping materials above the minimum required landscaping materials shall be installed within the
parking area, to offset removal of trees and plant material along State Route 606 and the interior of the site. The additional
landscaping shall consist of a mixture of evergreen and deciduous plant materials.
12. A 25-foot dedication for right-of-way shall be required along the State Route 606 property frontage.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes these conditions reflect the actions of the Planning Commission regarding SP 2000-58. Staff and the Planning
Commission recommend approval of SP 2000-58 with the above conditions.

SP 00-058 Northside Community Fellowship Church
SDP 00-121 Critical Slopes Waiver for Northside Community
Fellowship Church Site Development Plan
Applicant's Proposal: In accordance with Section 10.2.2 (35) of the Zoning
Ordinance, the applicant, Northside Community Fellowship Church, has
requested a special use permit for the first of three phases of development.
The Phase I development plans include:
. 11,200 square foot building;
. 101 parking spaces
. outdoor recreational areas.
The Master Plan of Development indicates the general proximity and size
for future development on their 9.92-acre parcel. With approximately 100
people attending services in their current location at 1820 Airport Road (in
~ the Albemarle Regional Airport area), they are expecting their congregation
to increase to approximately 125 after the completion of this facility. No day
care or after school care needs are anticipated, at this time. However, areas
for outside play have been set aside. No exterior lighting has been proposed
with this application.
In addition to their request for a church, the applicant has also requested a
critical slope waiver, per Section 18-4.2. A portion of the parking lot would
intrude into the slope facing Dickerson Road (State Route 606).
~
Petition: The petition is for approval of a special use permit, in accord with
the provisions of Section 10.2.2.35 of the Zoning Ordinance, to construct a
church facility consisting of sanctuary, office and classroom uses, as well as
outdoor recreation areas on approximately 9.92 acres of land situated on the
west side of Dickerson Road (State Route 606), about 350 feet west of State
Route 29 North, and south of the Greene County line. The property,
described as Tax Map 21, Parcel I lA, is located in the White Hall
Magisterial District. The property is zoned RA (Rural Areas) and is
designated for Rural Area uses in Rural Area 1 of the Comprehensive Plan.
SP 00-58
SOP 00-121
12/20/00
A Site Development Plan (SDP 00-121) has also been submitted with this
'" request and a request for a Critical Slopes Waiver has also been submitted.
Character of the Area: The area surrounding the church is a mixture of
rural agricultural, residential, unimproved wooded parcels, a church and the
a.E. Corporation facility. Surrounded by woods, a residence with
outbuildings is currently located on the site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staffhas reviewed the proposal for conformity
with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and recommends
approval of the special use permit with conditions and conditional approval
of the critical slope waiver request.
Plannin2 and Zonin2 History: A single-family structure and outbuildings
are located on the property.
The Architectural Review Board considered this application on December 4,
2000. At that time, the ARB approved a Certificate of Appropriateness
(Attachment D).
("') Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan land use designation for
this site is Rural. Churches in rural area are viewed as supportive of the
moral fiber of the community. Efforts related to the limited clearing and
offers of additional landscaping assist with mitigation of the impacts on the
character of the area.
STAFF COMMENT:
Provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance are addressed below:
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue
all special use permits permitted hereunder. Special use permits for
uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the
Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment
to adjacent property.
In an effort to retain some of the natural characteristics of the property, the
applicant has agreed to retain the trees and plant material located on the
north, west and south property lines in a natural, wooded state. The trees
~ and shrubs located along the property line bordering State Route 606 in the
SP 00-58
SDP 00-121
12/20/00
2
area affected by the critical slope waiver would be removed. However, the
~ justification for the critical slope waiver (item 4), states that trees on the
remaining slope will be retained. An existing driveway on the north side of
the property would be closed and replaced by an entrance on the southern
portion of the property.
The applicant has also agreed to install additional landscaping along the
driveway and the parking lot, to mitigate any tree removal along State Route
606. A condition of approval has been offered to include this provision into
the approval. The landscape plan would be subject to the approval by the
Planning Director or designee.
As the church would generate a greater intensity than residential or
agricultural uses within a rural area zoning district, the Zoning Department
has recommended that greater setbacks be required for the side and rear
property lines. As the Zoning Ordinance provides for additional buffers for
commercial uses adjacent to rural areas, a comparison of commercial and
rural side, front and rear setbacks is as follows:
Rural
Commercial
r""1
Front 7 5 feet 30 feet
Side 25 feet 5 0 feet
Rear 3 5 feet 50 feet
The Commercial District side and rear setback standards adjacent to rural
areas are the larger of the two and would further the protection of the rural
area. A condition of approval has been offered to require compliance with
Section 21.7.2 standards for side and rear commercial setbacks adjacent to
rural area districts. As the rural area front yard setbacks are larger, the RA
front setback would remain.
No nighttime outdoor play activities have been proposed.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby.
Open space, agricultural uses and very low-density residential uses, mixed
with an existing church and an industrial/office building to the south

characterize this portion of the rural area district. The church is not expected
~, to change the character of the district.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of
this ordinance.
The Rural Area zoning district was created to establish a zone that provides
for the preservation and protection of agricultural and forestal resources;
provide for water supply protection; be an area of limited service delivery;
and to conserve natural, scenic, and historic resources. The church is viewed
as a use supportive of rural Albemarle County residents.
The church size is in keeping with what is typically found in the Rural Area.
with the uses permitted by right in the district.
The proposed church would not restrict the current uses or other by right
uses available on this site or by right uses on any other property.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance.
~
Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance does not contain provisions governing
churches.
and with the public health. safety and general welfare.
According to the comments received by the Engineering Department, the
projected number of vehicle trips for the Northside Church is approximately
410 trips on a Sunday. The peak hour rate on a Sunday is 9.49 trips per
1000 square feet of floor area. This results in 110 trips during the Sunday
peak hour.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has determined that State Route
606 is anon-tolerable gravel road, and is not in the County's Six Year
Improvement Plan. At their recommendation, a condition of approval to
require a 25 foot right-of-way dedication along the State Route 606 frontage
is offered for consideration. The have advised that the dedication will
reduce and may eliminate a need for sight easements.
The anticipated result of this additional traffic on State Route 606 would be
~ increased rutting and dust. To mitigate this impact, the Engineering
SP 00-58
SDP 00-121
12/20/00

Department has requested a condition of approval requiring that the
r"1 applicant surface the roadway from just beyond the proposed church
entrance southward to the end of the existing asphalt surface. The length of
the roadway surfacing would be approximately 600 feet. The applicant has
agreed to this recommendation.
As stated earlier, the smaller church size, in terms of the number of
~nticipated parishioners, is viewed to be in keeping with the Rural Area
character. Smaller congregations create less impact on roads and
neighborhoods, as well as a limited demand for services.
In light of the determination that State Route 606 is non-tolerable and is not
in the VDOT Six Year Improvement Plan, a existing church with potentially
the same days and hours of peak use, staff has included a condition of
approval to limit the size of the congregation by what can be accommodated
with the number of seats (200) proposed with this application.
With the outdoor recreational uses limited to daylight hours only, with no
lighting of the parking areas, and with the additional landscape screening, as
described in the previous sections, the proposed church has been mitigated
~ to address impacts on the adjacent properties.
After conferring with the Health Department, the applicant submitted
revised plans depicting the location of the septic field and the well. Staffhas
not received any comments regarding the revised plan, as of the writing of
this report. A condition of approval (number two) requires Health
Department approval.
SUMMARY:
Staffhas identified the following factors, which are favorable to this
request:
1. The Land Use Plan suggests that churches are supportive to the rural
areas in the County.
2. No detrimental impact is anticipated as a result of the church use.
3. The landscape screening buffer and additional setbacks between the
lots and the adjacent Rural Area District properties would mitigate
impacts of the church on the Rural Area.

Critical Slopes Waiver: The applicant has requested that a waiver for an
t""\ encroachment of a portion of the proposed parking lot into a critical slope
along State Route 606 be approved. Under the provisions set forth in
Section 4.2 of the Albemarle Zoning Ordinance, the applicant has offered
the following justifications for this request:
1. Concern over rapid and/or large-scale movement of soil and
rock
This project will use proper construction and stabilization
methods to prevent this type of movement. On a small portion
of the critical slope area will have a 2:1 fill slope constructed
upon it. This will use proper compaction and vegetation to
stabilize slopes.
2.
Concern over excessive storm water runoff
"'i
This project will incorporate a well-designed storm system to
alleviate build up of sheet flow quantities. All runoff from
impervious areas will be piped underground, i.e., the rooftops
will be caught in adequate structures. Vegetation shall be
installed to help with slope stabilization. (Designed by a
Landscape Architect)
3.
Concern over siltation of natural or manmade bodies of water
County inspection and bonding of erosion control measures will
address any excessive siltation. The large existing slope in
place will only be disturbed slightly and does not have potential
for erosion.
4. Concern over loss of aesthetic resource
The existing slope has some mature trees and undergrowth
(stable). These trees and grass will remain except in the fill
area and will be maintained on a continuing basis. The new
slope will be planted (vegetated) and become an asset.
5. Concern over the danger of septic system failure
r'J
SP 00-58
SDP 00-121
12/20/00
7
f'"'J
The septic system will be on the west side of the entrance road
away from the critical slopes and is not effected by the critical
slope, I.e., on other side of the entrance road. (See preliminary
site plan)
Section 4.2.3.2 of the Zoning Ordinance restricts earth-disturbing activity on
critical slopes, and Section 4.2.5.2 allows the Planning Commission to waive
this restriction upon finding that a strict application of these provisions
would not forward the purposes of the Ordinance.
The site has an area of 9.926 acres. Of the total acreage, approximately .50
or 5% contains a critical slope. The area proposed to be disturbed by
grading for a portion of the parking lot contains .04 acres. The disturbed
area would be filled with a 2: 1 slope. The septic system, located on the west
side of the entrance, would not be affected.
The Engineering Department has addressed concerns with movement of soil
and rock, excessive stormwater run-off and siltation, and recommends
approval of this request. Engineering analysis has determined that proper
slope construction, control of drainage and vegetative landscaping will be
rl effective in preventing movement of soil. A stormwater management plan
to prevent problems with excessive run-off from the disturbed critical slopes,
as well as the rest of the site will be required to be approved with the final
site plan. Regular inspections and bonding of erosion control measures by
County staff, during all phases of construction, will help to ensure that the
concern with siltation is addressed appropriately.
The Architectural Review Board has examined the aesthetic impact of the
critical slope disturbance and offered on objections. The replacement of
landscaping and the limited amount of disturbance would mitigate the
negative impacts.
The Open Space and Critical Resources Plan has not identified this site as
having critical slopes
RECOMMENDATION: With the support of the Engineering Department,
Planning finds no conflict with this request and recommends approval of the
critical slope waiver request [Section 4.2.3.2] with the following conditions:

Re: Northside Community Fellowship Church
Critical Slope Waiver Request
Dear Stephen,
~
We wish to request a waiver from the critical slope ordinance (Section 18-4,2) by
addressing each of the issues of concern.
Concern over rapid and/or large scale movement of soil and rock
This project will use proper construction and stabilization methods to prevent this type of
movement. Only a small portion of the critical slope area will have a 2:1 fill slope
constructed upon it. This will use proper compaction and vegetation to stabilize slopes.
Concern over excessive stormwater runoff
This project will incorporate a well-designed storm system to alleviate build up of sheet
flow quantities, All runoff from impervious areas will be piped underground, i.e., the
rooftops will be caught in adequate structures. Vegetation shall be installed to help with
slope stabilization. (Designed by a Landscape Architect).
Concern over siltation of natural or manmade bodies of water
County inspection and bonding of erosion control measures will address any excessive
siltation during construction. Proper vegetation stabilization will prevent long term
siltation, The large existing slope in place will only be disturbed slightly and does not
have potential for erosion.

Concern over loss of aesthetic resource
The existing slope has some mature trees and undergrowth (stable). These trees and
grass will remain except in the fill area and will be maintained on a continuing basis, The
new slope will be planted (vegetated) and become an asset.
Concern over the danger of septic system failure
The septic system will be on the west side of the entrance road away from the critical
slopes and is not effected by the critical slope i.e., on other side of entrance road, (See
preliminary site plan).
If you have any questions or comments concerning this request, please feel free to call me
at (804) 971-1591.

Stephen, please put us on the consent agenda as soon as possible. Thank you.

reviewer
Jeff Thomas
received
9/21/00
reviewed
10/16/00
decision
approved with conditions
The special use permit plan received on September 21,2000 has been reviewed. SR 606 (Dickerson
Road) is currently a non-tolerable gravel road and is not in the County's Six Year Improvement Plan. The
1997 ADT for this stretch of SR 606 is 90 vehicles per day. The proposed church building is 11,200
square feet. The proposed parking area contains a total of 101 spaces. According to the ITE Trip
Generation Manual, the average church trip generation rate on a Sunday is 36.63 trips per 1000 square
feet of floor area. The projected number of vehicle trips for the proposed Northside church building is
approximately 410 trips on a Sunday. The peak hour rate on a Sunday is 9.49 trips per 1000 square feet
of floor area. This results in 110 trips during the Sunday peak hour.
We feel the proposed church will significantly increase traffic on SR 606 on Sundays. This will likely
result in increased rutting and dust along SR 606. Dust from the high number of vehicles during the peak
hour may reduce driver visibility. The Engineering Department therefore recommends approval of the
special use permit with the condition that the applicant surface the roadway from just beyond the
proposed church entrance southward to the end of the existing asphalt surface. The length of the
roadway surfacing would be approximately 600 feet. We recommend a prime and double seal asphalt
surface, but any proposed paving on a public road would be subject to VDOT approval. '

11/10/00
reviewed
11/15/00
decision
approved
The critical slope waiver request received on November 10, 2000 has been reviewed. Based on the
preliminary site plan received November 1, 2000, the proposed site has an area of 9.926 acres. This
includes a critical slope area of 0.50 acres, which is approximately 5% of the site. It appears that 8.4%
(0.04 acres) of the critical slope areas on the subject property will be disturbed by grading for the
proposed parking lot. From the preliminary site plan, it appears that the affected slopes will mostly be
filled with a 2:1 slope. As stated in Section 18-4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, the following concerns must
be addressed before any critical slope waiver is granted.
~
1. "movement of soil and rock"
Proper slope construction, control of drainage, and vegetative stabilization will prevent any movement of
soil. Stormwater runoff will be diverted from the fill slopes by curb and gutter, storm sewer inlets, and
underground pipes,
2. "excessive stormwater runoff"
A stormwater management plan must be submitted with the final plans for approval. The preliminary site
plan shows an existing pond on the west side of the site being converted for use as a stormwater facility,
The pond does not appear to be located in a critical slope area.
3. "siltation"
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control during construction. After construction,
proposed stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability.
4. "loss of aesthetic resource"
Some aesthetic loss is expected from tree removal in the affected area. The applicant is proposes
landscaping on the new fill slope.
5. "septic effluent"
The preliminary site plan indicates that the proposed septic system is located on the western side of the
entrance drive away from the critical slope area.
Based on the review above, the Engineering Department recommends approval of the waiver. Please
call me if you have any questions or comments.

PROJECT HISTORY
The applicant has applied for a Special Use Permit for this project. The permit is required for
churches in the ruralareas and will be considered by the Planning Commissionon December 12. A
waiver from critical slopes requirements has also been requested. A preliminary site plan is under
review by the Planning Department.
PROJECT DETAILS
The applicant proposes to construct a new church facility. Details on the second and third phases of
the project are not yet available. The first phase is composed of a long church building measuring
180' long x 70' wide. The building has a gabled roof with a cupola and a central hipped entrance bay.
Wall materials include brick, stucco, and vinyl siding for the front elevation, and stucco and vinyl
siding for the side elevation.
ANALYSIS
Site Development, Layout, and Grading: The proposed new (phase 1) building would be situated
where the shed currently stands on the property, The building is situated at an angle to Dickerson
Road. The new parking lot (with 101 parking spaces) would be situated where the existing house is.
A new driveway would be created closer to the southern end of the parcel; it would curve around to
the south side of the parking lot, Just outside the southeast comer of the parking lot, proposed
grading would impact a small area of critical slopes. A temporary play ground and the proposed
locations of Phase 2 and 3 construction are located behind the Phase 1 building.
ARB l2/4/2000Northside Community Fellowship Church - Preliminary Site Plan - Page 1

Visibility: The parcel is situated about 350' west of the Route 29 North Entrance Corridor. The
existing dense vegetation on the east side of the site, and other vegetation that exists between the EC
and Dickerson Road, greatly minimize visibility of the site currently. Plans include the removal of
on-site vegetation, which will open up the view of the site. The exact degree of visibility of the
proposed structure is difficult to determine. However, given the distance from the EC and the
existing development, visibility is expected to be limited. The rooftop and upper portion of the east
elevation are expected to be somewhat visible.
,~
Structure(s)
Compatibility with historic sites/structures: Although some of the building forms and materials have
been used historically, the proposed structure has a modem appearance.
Context: The site is located on Dickerson Road, west of Route 29 North. The immediate area has
a rural character, and residential and other church buildings are located nearby. A residence and shed
currently stand on the property.
Scale: The proposed building is a long one. The roof form and the placement of materials emphasize
the length. The building appears to have a comfortable scale.
Materials: Materials are identified as red brick, yellow/off-white stucco, and yellow/off-white vinyl
siding. The roofis covered with a dark green material - probably asphalt shingles. Samples have
not been provided. The stucco elements are unusual in form, but it is unlikely that these forms on
the front elevation will be noticed from the EC. Also, the change from stucco to vinyl on the side
elevation is not expected to be noticed from the EC, but the blank yeI10w wall may be. A darker
earth tone, or the use of brick, on the side elevation would be more appropriate for the EC than the
shade of yellow shown.
~
Forms and Features: The dominant feature of the proposed building is expected to be the long roof
form.
Blankness: The right side elevation has no window or door openings. Given the limited visibility
expected, the blank wall may not be inappropriate, if the material/color blend with the surroundings,
rather than stand out against them.
Connecting Devices: N/A
Accessory Structures and Equipment: No equipment appears on the plan. Ground-mounted
equipment is not expected to be seen from the EC.
Lighting: No lights are shown on the plan.
Signs: No signs have been proposed.
ARB 12/4/2000NorthsideCommunity Fellowship Church - Preliminary Site Plan - Page 2

~
Landscaping: Dense vegetation covers a large portion of the site. The applicant plans to remove
most of the existing trees and replace them with new landscaping; however, a landscaping plan has
not been provided. (The elevations do show trees and shrubs along the front wall.) Both the tree
removal and the new planting will affect the visibility of the site. A landscape plan should be
submitted to clarify the extent of tree removal and the proposed replanting.

Staff offers the following preliminary comments:
1) The right side elevation of the church requires a different treatment to make it appropriate for
the EC. It is suggested that one or a combination ofthe following recommendations be followed:
a) add windows, doors, or other elements to relieve the blankness of the elevation; b) fac~ the
elevation with red brick to match the brick of the front elevation; c) use a darker earth tone for
the stucco and siding on the side elevation.
2) If a blank elevation is approved for the side elevation of the Phase 1 building, it should not be
assumed that a blank elevation will be appropriate for the buildings of later phases.
3) Provide all material and color samples. Specify the proposed roof material.
4) Provide a landscape plan. Show the existing tree line. Consult the ARB guidelines for
landscaping requirements.
5). Indicate that no site or wall lights are proposed, or provide complete information on proposed
lighting, including manufacturer's cut sheets and photometrics.
NOTE: Please note that the ARB may forward a comment regarding the critical slopes waiver
0, request to the Planning Commission if so desired.

ARB-P(SDP)-2000-51 - Northside Community Fellowship Church -
Preliminary review of a plan to construct an 11,200 square foot church building,
to be built in three phases on 9.92 acres. The Board expressed no objection to
the special use permit or the request for critical slopes waiver. The Board offered
the following comments for the benefit of the applicant's final submission:
1. The right side elevation of the church requires a different treatment to make it
appropriate for the EC. The blankness of this wall should be relieved.
Landscaping can be used to soften its impact; but landscaping should notbe
used to hide a wall with an inappropriate appearance.
2. If a blank elevation is approved for the side elevation of the Phase 1 building,
it should not be assumed that a blank el.evation will be appropriate for the
buildings of later phases.
3. Use an earth tone for the stucco and siding of the building.
4. Provide all material and color samples. Specify the proposed roof material.
5. Provide a landscape plan. Show the existing tree line, particularly in areas
that are anticipated to be visible from the EC. Consult the ARB guidelines for
other landscaping requirements.
6. Provide a lighting plan and complete information on proposed light fixtures,
including manufacturer's cut sheets and photometries. The height of proposed
pole lights should be compatible with the height of the building.
7. HV AC equipment should be screened from view and the screen should be
integrated into the site.

SP 00-61 CHAPMAN'S GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH SPECIAL USE PERMIT
and SDP 00-129 SITE PLANW AIVER REQUEST
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL
Proposal to add a vestibule and handicapped-access ramp to an existing church building, to facilitate
access and provide space for a handicapped-accessible restroom. As this church was built in 1955, it
predates the County's special-use-permit requirement for churches. Therefore, the church is
considered an existing nonconforming use and this expansion requires an issuance of a special use
permit of for the church use. A request for a site-plan waiver (SDP 00-129) accompanies this
application.
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The property, described as Tax Map 62 Parcel 67, is on Rt. 20 approximately 0.1 mile north of the
intersection with Vincennes Road (Rt. 769). The parcel is zoned RA, Rural Areas, and is located
within the Rivanna Magisterial District. The site is occupied by a church with an associated parking
lot. All adjacent properties are zoned RA, Rural Areas.
r""\ HISTORY
The Chapman Grove Baptist Church was founded in 1900; after a fire, the current church was built
in 1955. The church existed well before the adoption of the current Zoning Ordinance and has been
operating as a non-conforming use (with no special use permit).
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan defines this area as a Rural Area. The Open Space Plan identifies Route
20 as an Entrance Corridor.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff recommends approval of SP 00-61 (with conditions) and SOP 00-129, site plan waiver request
(with conditions).
STAFF COMMENT (Special Use Permit)
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance below:
"'"
The Board 0.( Supervisors herehy rcser\'Cs unto itse(( the right to issue all special use permits
permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued upon
a finding hy the Board of Supervisors that such lIse will not he of substantial detriment to adjacent
property.
, 1
The project that occasions the need for this permit will affect only the building itself and
(due to conditions imposed by the County and VDOT) the entrance to the parking lot. There
will be no significant new impacts on adjacent properties. The existing church is an
established feature of the community and should not be considered a detriment.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby,
As this is a minor structural change that will not increase the capacity or level of use in the
church, the rural character of the area will not be changed.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
As the character and intensity of this use will not change, the project will not negatively
impact the purpose and intent of the ordinance, Conditions imposed by the approval of the
accompanying site plan waiver request would increase public safety associated with access.
with the uses permitted by right in the district,
Small, historic rural churches such as this one are part of the rural character of this district
and have historically not been considered to be in conflict with agricultural or residential
uses in the rural areas,
As this property is within the Entrance Corridor district, the Architectural Review
Board has reviewed this project and provided comments to the applicant. When the ARB has
received satisfactory responses to these comments, they will issue a Certificate of
Appropriateness. (One of the recommended conditions of approval listed below is issuance
of this Certificate.)
with additional regulations provided in Section 5_ 0 of this ordinance.
There are no additional regulations in section 5,0_
and with the public health, S(~rety and general \\'clfare.
A special use pem1it for this church will not change the historic level of use on the site or
create any new impacts on health. safety. or welfare. Improvements imposed by the approval
of the accompanying sitc plan \\ain:r "ill increase public safety (reduced road hazards due
to increased sight distance).
ST AFF COMMENT (Site Plan WaiYer)
The applicant proposes to add a ncw entrance. including ramp, steps, deck area, and vestibule with
restroom, Since the church was constructed in ) 955. the construction predates the County's
requirement for a site plan. The applicant is therefore requesting Planning Commission approval of
a site plan waiver [Section 32.4.2_5 of the Zoning Ordinance]_
Section 32.2,2 of the Zoning Ordinance states:
/~
2
~
"The forgoing notwithstanding, after notice in accordance with Section 32.4.2.5, the
Commission may waive the drawing of a site development plan in a particular case
upon finding that the requirement of such plan would not forward the purposes of
this ordinance or otherwise serve the public interest; provided that no such waiver
shall be made until the Commission has considered the recommendation ()fthe agent.
The agent may recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of such
waiver. In the case of conditional approval, the agent in his recommendation shall
state the relationship of the recommended condition to the provisions of this section.
No condition shall be imposed which could not be imposed through the application
of Section 32,0."
The proposed changes to the church are simple, small-scale additions to the structure itself, and will
not significantly change the level or character of use on the site. Requiring a full site plan would
constitute an unreasonable burden given the minimal level of change on the site, and would not
forward the purposes of this ordinance or otherwise serve the public interest.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Planning Department recommends approval SP 00-61 with the following conditions:
1. The length of time within which the church may begin construction shall be two years from the
date of approval, provided all Health Department requirements at the time of the issuance of
building pe~its shall be satisfied,
~ 2. Day care use shall be prohibited unless approved through an amendment to this permit.
3. The number of seats permitted within the area of assembly shall not increase, unless by an
amendment to this special permit.
The Planning Department recommends approval of SDP 00-129 with the following conditions:
1. The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors shall have first approved the applied-for
special use permit (SP 2000-61) for the existing Chapman Grove Baptist Church.
2. The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board shall have approved a Certificate of
Appropriateness for this application.
3. Applicants must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Virginia Department of
Transportation and the Albemarle (ounty Department of Engineering and Public Works that
sufficient sight distance along Route 20 to the north has been secured.

SP 00-062 MILLSTONE PRESCHOOL EXPANSION
Petition:
The applicant's request is for a special use permit to allow the construction of a 3,400 square feet
building for the expansion of an existing preschool, in accordance with Section 10.2.2,7 which
allows daycare, childcare and nursery facilities in the Rural Areas district. The property,
described as Tax Map 58/ParceI37C, is zoned RA and contains 2.58 acres (Attachment A). This
site is located on the south side of Morgantown (State Route 738), next to Murray elementary
school, approximately 1/2 mile west of the intersection with State Route 250 West.
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to expand the services of an existing preschool, which is currently
restricted to the enrollment of 40 children, in order to permit the enrollment of up to 50
additional children. The expansion would be housed on an adjoining vacant parcel, in a building
that is similar in construction to that of the existing facility. Ifpermitted, and depending upon
Health Department and Department of Social Services approval, this expansion could potentially
increase the overall enrollment to 90 children_
~, The special use permit application and a description of the proposed operations of the facility
proposed in this request is attached (Attachment B). According to the applicant's description the
preschool expansion would enroll up to 50 children who would range between 2 and 5 years of
age. The applicant anticipates that approximately half of the students would be attending for the
preschool program which would last betwcen 7:30 A.M. or 9:00 A.M. until I :OOP.M. The rest of
the children would be present at the facility until between 4:00 P.M. and 5:30 P.M. The facility
would employ six staff members, in addition to one kitchen worker and one office worker.
The Site Review Committee has rc\-icwed the preliminary site plan (Attachment C) and the
proposed building for this expansion could be approved pending Board approval of the special
use permit.
Character of the Area:
The site of this proposed expansion is wooded and adjoins the parcel where the existing of the
daycare/preschool facility is located (Tax \lap 58 Parcel 37C2). Murray elementary school is
located on the adjacent property to the east and properties located on the northern side of
Morgantown Road are all zoned RA. Rural Areas_ The site is bounded along the south and west
sides by properties that are zoned Ll. Light Industrial and the entrance to those properties,
respectively.
Plannine and Zonine History:
~
I. October 5, 1983 - This property was rezoned from R-I, Residential to RA, Rural Areas as
part of the comprehensive rezoning ofIvy.
2.
February 8, 1984 - The Board of Supervisors approved a central well permit for five
dwellings on the parent parcel of the property currently, which was then identified as Tax
Map 58, Parcel37C. These dwellings were never constructed.
F'\
3. June 15, 1989 - (SUB 89-104) Planning staff administratively approved the subdivision
plat of the parcels currently under review with this request.
4. January 16, 1991 - (SP 90-115) The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a
request for a special use permit allowing the establishment of the original thirty (30)
student day care center on Tax Map 58, Parcel 37C2.
5. April 18, 1991 - (SDP 91-042) The final site plan for the existing building housing the
Millstone of Ivy day care center was approved by development review staff.
6. April 15, 1992 - (SP 92-05)The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a request to
amend the previously approved special use permit to allow an increase in the permitted
enrollment from 30 to 40 students.
Past Requests for Daycare Centers and Private Schools in the Rural Areas:
In addition to the previous applications for this establishment staff found that several requests for
daycare centers within the County's Rural Areas have been reviewed and approved in the past.
Enrollments of daycare centers that have been approved in the Rural Areas range between 9 and
90 children. Approvals for daycare centers within churches or buildings constructed especially
for the facilities have typically enrolled between 50 and 90 children while daycare facilities run
at private homes have had characteristically smaller enrollments of between 9 and 30 children.
Past private schools that were approved within the Rural Areas have been approved to have
enrollments raging from 55 to 171 slUdents_
/~
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan discourages dewlopment in the Rural Areas, except for that which is
related to bona fide agriculturaVforestal uses. However. staff recognizes that the subject property
is located within the area \vhich was fonnerly designated as the growth area for Ivy, so services
may be warranted in order to support the le\c1 of residential development that has already taken
place. Currently Millstone of Ivy is the only facility that offers day care services within the Ivy
area, and, it is staffs opinion that the proposed expansion would not be inconsistent with the
public elementary school which is loc;:lted next to the existing Millstone preschool. Planning
staff recognizes no identified resources of the Open Space Plan that would potentially be affected
by this proposal.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staffwill address the issues of this request for compliance with the provisions set forth in
Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
~
2
Staff will address each provision ofs~cfibii;;~':rJ:a:t6f't'ileZoning Ordinance.
~
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use
permits permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance
may be issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of
substantial detriment to adiacent property.
Staff recognizes that approval of this request would result in increasing the size of an existing
institutional use within the Rural Areas, However, the potential for most forms of agricultural
activity is extremely limited due to the small size of the subject parcel. It is staffs opinion that
the daycare center represents an appropriate use beside an existing elementary school, and that
the presence of industrial uses located on the adjacent properties reduces the desirability of this
site for a residential use.
Based on the above-cited factors, staff finds that the proposed expansion would not impose any
substantial detriment to adjacent properties that are located within the area which was once
designated for development.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby.
~
The Growth Management chapter of the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Plan emphasizes the
importance of protecting the elements that define the County's Rural Areas. Staff recognizes
that preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities, and limited delivery of services
are two of those elements that could be impacted by this proposal. This proposal would clearly
be an increase in the level of services provided within the rural area. However, much like the
original structure, the applicant's request indicates that the new preschool building would be
constructed to have the same outward appearance as a dwelling, and could be easily converted to
a single family home if operation of the preschool were to cease.
Because this site is located on the only undeveloped property on the south side of Morgantown
Road between Murray Elementary and the road leading to the adjacent industrial uses, it is staffs
opinion that the character of the district would not be changed by the proposed expansion. Staff
found the most similar request for a special use permit on property zoned Rural Areas to be the
Crossroads Waldorf School. This is a private school which was approved with an enrollment of
271 students. The school is located directly across the road from the Crozet Elementary School,
outside of the development area for Crozet. However, staff also recognizes that Crossroads
Waldorf was approved in a structure that had already existed as the original Crozet elementary
School.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance.
~
According to Section 1.4.3 one of the purposes and intents of the Ordinance is, "To facilitate the
creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious community" (Attachment D). Although
there is an existing daycare center established on the parcel adjacent to the site of this proposed
expansion, the applicant's request indicates that the demand for child care services from this
facility has more than doubled since the most recent expansion of the daycare center was
approved. Staffs review of this request is made with consideration for the density of
development that already exists within some of the nearby residential neighborhoods and an
3
understanding that this development may warrant the need for increased access to childcare
opportunities within the Ivy area.
It is staffs opinion that the services provided by certain uses such as churches, schools and
daycare centers contribute to the well-being and moral fiber ofthe community. According to
enrollment information provided with the application for this request, a majority of students
currently enrolled at the Millstone preschool reside in the Ivy area, and this is the only facility
offering daycare services between Charlottesville and Crozet.
~,
with the uses permitted by right in the district
The proposed expansion of this daycare facility would not restrict the any ofthe by-right uses on
other property within the Rural Areas current uses on the subject parcel, or the Light Industry
zoning district.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance.
In accordance with Section 5.1.06 of the Zoning Ordinance the proposed expansion shall not
operate without licensure of the Virginia Department of Welfare as a child care center, and
documentation of such license shall be provided to the Zoning Administration. Child care
facilities are also subject to periodic inspections by the County's Fire Official. Failure to comply
with those requirements and the regulations of any additional local, state, or federal agencies
would be considered willful non-compliance with provisions ofthe ordinance and with the
conditions of the special use permit.
and with the public health. safety and general welfare.
f~
The parcel proposed for this expansion is similar in shape and size to that of the existing of the
property where the original daycare center is located, and because these sites adjoin one another
is probable that the soil conditions are suitable for septic facilities and drainfields, The site plan
shows that areas to be dedicated to the septic facilities for the expansion could be provided
within the bounds of the property while the applicant proposes to extend water from the existing
well to the new building. In reviewing the most recent request to expand the facility (SP 92-05),
the determination of the permitted number of children that could be enrolled was based upon
final approval by the Health Department and limited to no more than the number of children that
was requested by the applicant. Therefore, staff is of the opinion that approval of this request
should also be limited to the Health Department's approval for the capacity of a well and septic
utilities. This is incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval.
Ifpermitted. the proposed expansion would increase the size of an existing use that is more
intensive than those normally found in the Rural Areas. By allowing the enrollment of 50
additional students, the expansion would more than double the number of children who currently
attend the preschool. Based on the current ITE standards a day care center or preschool with 50
students and 8 employees could result in generating more than 212 additional vehicle trips per
day. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)has reviewed this request for a special
and the site plan proposing the expansion of the preschool. VDOT staff determined that the
existing commercial entrance which was constructed with a turn and taper lane is adequate for
supporting the expected increase in traffic to the site (Attachment). Therefore, no additional
/~
4
work within the right-of-way is required.
1"'\
Within the past year, staff has documented several of the concerns that were received from
residents in the area over issues related to traffic and vehicular saJety on Morgantown Road. The
Planning Department and VDOT conducted traffic counts and speed studies and determined that
Morgantown Road in response to those concerns. Although it was concluded that the road does
not currently meet the criteria that warrants abandonment of the road from the public system or
termination with a cuI de sac, both agencies have expressed support for implementing various
methods of traffic calming, including striping and signage (Attachment E).
SUMMARY:
The applicant's proposal would result in some clearing of a wooded lot to accommodate the new
building and the 13 additional parking spaces that are required for a daycare center of this size.
Although this is a more intense use than those recommended for the Rural Areas, staff recognizes
that agricultural use~ on a property the size of the subject parcel ~ould be restricted greatly. The
fact that the property is bounded by institutional and industrial uses along the sides and in the
rear makes the property less desirable as a residential use, as well.
Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this proposal:
~
1.
2.
3.
The proposed expansion would be accessed from an existing commercial entrance.
The building would be constructed to have the appearance of a single family dwelling.
The proposed use is compatible to the adjacent public elementary school and the existing
daycare center.
Staff has identified the following factors, which are unfavorable to this proposal:
I. This proposal would increase the size of an existing use that is already more intensive use
than those normally found to be appropriate in the Rural Areas.
2. This proposal could increase the volume of traffic on Morgantown Road by more than
200 vehicle trips per day.
The following factors are relevant to this proposal:
1, This site is located within an area which was once designated as the development area for
Ivy.
2. The relatively small size of the subject parcel restricts the possibility of establishing most
types of agricultural uses.
3. The fact that this site is situated adjacent to industrially zoned properties reduces its
desirability as a residential use.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
~
Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with section 31,2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and
the Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval with conditions.
5
Recommended conditions of approval:
~
1. Enrollment shall be limited to the lesser of the number of students as approved by the
Health Department, and the Department of Social Services. In any event, the maximum
number of children shall not exceed fifty (50).
2. The daycare center shall be constructed with the appearance of a dwelling unit.
3. Virginia Department of Health approval of adequate septic and drainfield facilities.
4. The applicant shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 5.1.06 ofthe Zoning
Ordinance:
a. No such use shall operate without licensure by the Virginia Department of welfare
as a child care center. It shall be the responsibility.of the owner/operator to

shall be deemed willful noncompliance with the provisions of this ordinance;
b. Periodic inspection of the premises shall be made by the Albemarle County fire
official at his discretion. Failure to promptly admit the fire official for such
inspection shall be deemed willful noncompliance with the provisions of this
ordinance;
c. These provisions are supplementary and nothing stated herein shall be deemed to
preclude application of the requirements of the Virginia department of Welfare,
Virginia Department of Health, Virginia State Fire Marshal, or any other local,
state or federal agency.
5. Administrative approval of the site plan.

Millstone Preschool has operated since the fall of 1991, providing quality.child care for PAGE 4
the Ivy community. Attachment A is a telephone log from early 2000 through mid-
summer of calls by parents seeking a position at Millstone for the 2000-2001 school year.
Since all space$ at Millstone for the current year wert? filled by ~e end of calendar 1999, ,~
.- they were.turned-away.--The log contains.94 names. Asaf August200-U;MillSionehiis'- ~~:
15 applications for the 2001-2002 school year for an expected 20 openings in its existing
facilities. With no other child care facility between Charlottesville and Crozet, there
would seem to be a clear need in the community for additional capacity,

Churches, schools and child care centers have historically be~n viewed by the county as PAGE 5
improving and strengthening the fabric of the community. With the growing number of
families where both parents work, quality child care has become a recognized need. It is

the child care center on the parcel in question would appear to be consistent with the uses
of the surrounding property, Murrary Elementary School borders the parcel to the east.
With the need for child care services apparent, carefully expanding an existing operation
would appear to be less disruptive than building a facility in another location.

ATTACHMENT B
Expanding an established, well-run child care facility located conveniently next to an PAGE 8
elementary school will have a positive impact on the community. Millstone has been
operating for nine years and has developed a reputation for quality care, tis facilities are
designed to _appear as a private home, with theil1terior decorated in a similar fashion. A
home-like building rather than 'an institution is a-comforting sighf rorchildrenandH
parents. Families are constantly moving into our community, and it is common for them
to ask about child care. It takes a great leap of trust for a young parent to leave a small
child with someone. Having space available at an established facility knO\VTI by
neighbors helps immensely. Finally, the O\VTIer of Millstone, Sue Willis, is actively
involved each day as the on-site director of the program. She could not do so at facilities
located at separate sites,

The preschool/day care expansion proposed by the applicant will enroll up to 50 children
ranging in age from two to five years old. While enrollments will vary from year to year,
experience from the existing operation indicates that~hildren from both east and west of
site wil1b~ atten<iing. It is expected that half of the children will be present for the
preschool program: only; They will be dropped off by their parents between 7:30A.M.
and 9:00 A.M, and will be picked up by 1 :00 P.M. The remaining children will be picked
up between 4:00 P.M. and 5:30 P.M.
PAGE 9
In addition to the 50 children, the center expects to have six staff members, plus a kitchen
and office worker. This would equate to an 8.3: 1 ratio of children to classroom staff; the
State of Virginia (Department of Social Services) standard for this age is 10: 1.
The proposed new building will be similar to the existing facility, That is, it will
resemble a single family home from the road. Photographs of the existing building are
attached as Tabs H, I and J.

The meeting was held to discuss Morgantown Road, especially the portion between
Route 250 and Grassmere (Rt. 679). The County conducted a cut-through vehicle study
and VDOT conducted a vehicle speed and tally study. Based on the results of County and
VDOT studies, it was determined that Morgantown Road did not meet the criteria to be
cul-de-sac or abandoned. It was also pointed out that the condition of the Tilman Road
intersection with Route 250 was so dangerous that these options would not be considered
again until the intersection improvements at Route 250 and Route 676 are complete.
Ms. Irene Jordan expressed that Morgantown Road right-of-way was used not only for
vehicles, but also for pedestrians, bikes, and horses. Mr. Bill Singleton and Ms. Jordan
would like vehicles entering this section of Morgantown Road to know that they are
entering a neighborhood and should be cautious and respectful. Although staff could not
support a road abandonment of cul-de-sac, there were many ideas discussed at the
meeting that County and residents can take to give Morgantown Road the neighborhood
feel they desire.
Final Action Plan for Morgantown Road -October 2000
Action: A letter will be sent to the Grassmere Road Neighborhood Watch Group, This
letter would request for residents to be considerate of the homes along Morgantown Road
as they travel along it.
Responsibility: The Police Department will determine if there is a neighborhood watch
group. The Planning and Police Departments will draft the letter if there is a group.
Status: No report at this time.
Action: Safety tips will be placed in the backpacks of student of Murray ES. The safety
tips will be a reminder for parents that drop/pickup students to be respectful of
Morgantown Road residents.
Responsibility: David Rogers will give the Planning Department the particulars of this
project. The Planning Department will draft the letter with assistance from the Police
Department.

Proposed variance for Mill Stone School
Dear Mr. Waller
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me today about the zoning
hearing process in general and the proposal for Mill Stone in
specifically. Please share this E-Mail with the members of the Board.
I want to state my categorical opposition to any variance which will
allow the Mill Stone School to expand. I respect their right to expand
within the confines the present zoning restrictions, but to permit them
to expand beyond that is patently unreasonable.
The value of zoning regulations lies in their ability safeguard the
quality of life of a neighborhood. If you allow a zoning variance to
expand this commercial enterprise you will pave the way for more of the
same. I remember when the justification for an attempt to elevate an
eye-catching cell phone tower in that vicinity was the existence of
"infrastructure" in the area. What future image are you painting for the
Morgantown Road Community if you approve this variance? There is already
a potential for significant growth in the nearby industrial park. Why add
to that by allowing a facility to expand beyond the present allowed
level?
The morning rush traffic on Morgantown Road is already a significant
safety hazard for motorist and pedestrian alike. Granting a variance
will add more cars driven by more people who are rushing to drop off more
children will only exacerbate the problem. I am fully aware that VDOT
has done some traffic studies which some people may massage to indicate
that the traffic flow is reasonably safe. The reality from this resident
of Morgantown road is more clear: we reached a point where it was no
longer safe to walk our children to Murray Elementary school in the
morning. The reckless, careless, and rude habits of some drivers robbed
us of that joy. My wife was actually brushed by a car as she walked on
the shoulder of the road as two SUVs were approaching each other and
neither took time to slow down to pass her safely.
There is a body of thought which holds that adding schools, Churches,
and such public amenities enhances the quality of life in a community.
The expansion of Mill stone will not increase any benefit which the
immediately surrounding community may be reaping from its presence.
Mount Calvary Baptist Church, which is on Morgantown Road, adopted
Morgantown Road for litter removal. Our task is already significant.
Senior citizens who once walked along the road no longer do so.
Additional anonymous traffic will diminish the quality of life along
Morgantown Road. More is not better,
Are the people who stand to benefit most from the proposed expansion
residents of the immediate neighborhood? Do the owners, staff and
customers live on the road which will benefit from a larger better
Millstone school? The benefit of the activity of those who live
elsewhere should not unjustly enrich the neighbors of Morgantown Road. In
the interest of equity, I propose that the expansion occur in the area
where those who use it live.
Morgantown Road neighbors have spend many hours working with VDOT, the
police, the Board of Supervisors, our neighbors, and anyone else who has
the will to preserve our community. I ask that you demonstrate a
commitment to the people of the Morgantown Road Community by rejecting
this proposal for a Zoning Variance for the Mill Stone School.

SP 00-64 David Weber/Triton PCS
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant, Triton PCS, has proposed to construct
a communication facility consisting of a 94 foot high steel monopole,
ground equipment, and flush mounted antenna on a 900 square foot lease
area ofa 10.31acre parcel, in accordance with Section 10.2.2.6 of the Zoning
Ordinance. The applicant has also requested a waiver from the requirement
for the tower to be setback from the right of way at a distance equal to the
height of the structure. The proposed pole is 54.4 feet from the State Route
708 right-of-way and 80.8 feet from the property line to the north. A waiver
from the requirement to submit a preliminary site plan has also been
requested.
~,
Petition: Triton PCS has petitioned for a special use permit to allow a
communication facility that includes a 94 foot high steel monopole, ground
equipment cabinets on a 900 square foot lease area within a 10.31 acre
parcel, in accordance with Section 10.2.2.6 of the Zoning Ordinance, which
allows for micro-wave transmission and relay towers. A setback and a site
plan waiver have also been requested, in accordance with Section 4.10.3.1
and Section 32.2.2, respectively. The property is described as Tax Map 73
Parcel3lD and is located at 271 Malvem Farm Drive (State Route 708) and
is within Rural Area 3 Comprehensive Plan land use designation. The site is
less than 500 feet south ofl 64 and is inthe Samuel Miller Magisterial
District.
Character of the Area: A mixture of residential, forestal and agricultural
land uses characterizes the area. The lease area is located approximately 45
feet from the entrance gate. An 84-foot high tree and a 78-foot tall tree are
located within the twenty five-foot radius of the proposed pole. The
proposed 94-foot height is based on the 84-foot tall tree. Both tree and pole
are located at a base elevation of 697 feet Above Sea Level (ASL).
".....,
RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance
with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and the
SP 00-64 Weber
. 01/03/01
Personal Wireless Service Facilities Policy and recommends disapproval of
SP 00-64. ~.
Plannin~ and Zonin~ History: The following applications have been
approved on the subject property:
. SP 99-11: Approval for an existing wooden pole tower for CFW at a
height not to exceed five feet about the height of the tallest tree within 25
feet of the tower.
. VA 1999-010: A setback variance to allow the CFW tower to be located
approximately 15 feet from Route 708.
. VA 2000-020: A setback variance for a reduction in setback from 75 feet
to 15 feet to allow the construction of a 90- foot monopole tower.
. SP 00-31: Approval for a 90-foot high wooden pole for Alltell (approved
September 13,2000). The pole has not been constructed.
Comprehensive Plan: The site is located in the Rural Area of the
Comprehensive Plan and has been identified on the Open Space Concept
Plan as a Farmlands and Forests land use designation. As it located less than
500 feet from I 64, it is also within an Entrance Corridor district.
~.
The Open Space Plan's stated objectives include protecting "the County's
natural, scenic and historic resources in the Rural and Growth Areas," and
preserving "the County's scenic resources as being essential to the County's
rural character, economic vitality, and quality of life."
The Architectural Review Board considered the impacts of this facility on
I 64 and granted a Certificate of Appropriateness on December 18,2000.
Although the current property use may not be directly impacted by the
addition of a third communication facility site, the siting of this facility in
clear view from a State Route would negatively impact these essential scenic
and natural resources.
STAFF COMMENT:
In the following sections, Staff will address the issues of this request:
1.
Provisions of Section 31.2.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance are
discussed below:
~
SP 00-64 Weber
01/03/01
2
~
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right
to issue all special use permits permitted hereunder. Special
use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be
issues upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use
will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property.
The issue of visibility from adjacent properties has been addressed in the
following manner:
A condition of approval for SP 99- 11 (CFW tower) allowed a wooden pole
to extend seven feet above the tallest tree within twenty-five feet of the
tower. Elevation of the tower and the tree was not taken into consideration
by this condition.
A similar condition of approval for SP 00-31 (All tell) will allow a wooden
pole to extend ten feet above the tallest tree within twenty-five feet of the
tower. The heights, in this case, were based on ASL measurements. The
Alltell application requested a metal monopole; however, due to its closeness
~. to the road and the previous CFW approval, a condition of approval required
that the pole be wooden.
Unlike the proposed facility, with its proximity and clear, unobstructed view
from State Route 708, the two approved sites are buffered from the road by a
row of trees and shrubbery. Both the landscaping and placement of the sites
on the property serves to shield the'sites from view. The proposed site,
immediately inside the property entrance would much greater visibility than
the two approved sites.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby.
As a third communication facility located less than the required 1: 1 setback
and with its siting permitting the facility to be viewed from State Route 708,
the facility would have a negative impact on the character of the district.
The property is also within an Entrance Corridor District. The application
has been granted a Certificate of Appropriateness by the ARB, although the
tower would be seen from I 64.
~\
SP 00-64 Weber

and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of
this ordinance.
~
The purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, as stated in Sections 1.4,
1.5, and 1.6, with particular reference to Sections 1.4, 1.4.4, and 1.5. All of
these provisions address, in one form or another, the provision of public
services. The use of mobile telephones clearly provides a public service, as
evidenced by the expanded and rapid increase in this technology. Section
1.4.3 states as intent of the Ordinance, "To facilitate the creation of a
convenient, attractive and harmonious community." Two other wireless
providers have received approval for facilities on this property.
At this writing, staffhas not received response from the applicant regarding
any alternative locations.
The visual impact of the facility would conflict with the attractiveness of the
community.
with the uses permitted by right in the district.
The proposed pole would not restrict the current uses, or by right uses on any
other property.
,~
and with the public health. safety and general welfare.
The provisions of increased wireless communication facilities may be
considered consistent with the public health, safety and general welfare by
providing increased communication services in the event of emergencies and
by increasing overall general communication services. The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 addresses issues of environmental effects
with the following language: "No state or local government or
instrumentality thereof my regulate the placement, construction, and
modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the
environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such
facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such
emissions." In order to operate this facility, the applicant is required to meet
the Federal Communication Commission guidelines for radio frequency
emissions. This requirement will adequately protect the public health and
safety.
2.
Section 704(a)(7)(b )(1)(11) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996:
~
SP 00-64 Weber
01/03/01
4
~
The regulation of the placement. construction and modification of
personal wireless facilities by any state or local government or
instrumentality thereof shall not prohibit or have the effect of
prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services.
Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the
provision of personal wireless service. The purpose of this facility would be
to provide additional service along the I-64 corridor, with their intent to
eventually provide seamless service. However, the denial of this application
would not prohibit the personal wireless services in this area.
3. County of Albemarle Personal Wireless Service Facilities Policy
The Personal Wireless Service Facilities Policy has been adopted by the
Board of Supervisors. The following discussion considers the purpose,
principles, and intended achievements of the Policy:
r'\
. Visibility. The Policy states that the visibility is the most important
principle for siting personal wireless service facilities. Further, the
Policy states that these facilities should not be located in Avoidance
Areas. Should they be located in Avoidance Areas, they should be
denied or mitigated.
Due to the siting of the proposed facility off the entrance driveway and
from along a sparsely wooded portion of State Route 708, the facility
would not benefit from the three types of mitigation measures found in
the Policy: camouflage, concealment, and disguise.
The applicant has suggested that additional planting along the most
visible portion of State Route 708 and at the base of the lease area
would be an appropriate mitigation measure, as it was with the
previous Alltell application. However, the site is located in clear view
from the driveway and the downward slope of the property along the
road would not provide adequate landscaping coverage for the pole or
for the ground equipment.
~
. Utilize existing structure: the applicant has advised that no existing
facility within this area would permit the additional equipment due to
SP 00-64 Weber
01/03/01
5
height or structure; therefore, collocation on another facility is not
feasible, according to the applicant.
~~
. Appropriateness in any zoning district: the visibility of this site would
not make it appropriate in any district.
. Ground based equipment in keeping with the area character: its visible
location from State Route 708 would not be in keeping with the character
of the area.
. Limited visibility of the antennas: the balloon test determined that the
tower could be visible along State Route 708. Both the ground
equipment and the pole would have visibility that could not be adequately
mitigated by color or landscaping. The actual size (diameter) of the metal
monopole was not available at this writing. The size, however, will be
provided at the hearing.
4. Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section
32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Commission may waive the drawing of a site plan if requiring a site
plan would not forward the purpose of the Ordinance or otherwise serve the
public interest. Generally, the Site Revi'ew Committee has endorsed the use
of site plan waivers for the establishment of telecommunication facilities.
This general endorsement has been based on the relatively small area
impacted by the proposed use and the ability to obtain the required
information through an erosion and sediment control plan and the building
permits. Although staff is able to support the request for a site plan waiver
as the information submitted by the applicant generally meets the
requirements for a site plan, this application has been recommended for
disapproval; therefore, staff does not support this request. However, should
the Planning Commission and Board determine that this application warrants
approval, the information submitted by the applicant could meet the
requirements for a waiver, subject to the following conditions:
;~.
1. Approval of an erosion and sediment control plan prior to the issuance
of a building permit.
2. Provision of one parking space.
3. A site plan application shall be required if activity on slopes of 25% or
greater is proposed.

4.
Waiver of the setback regulations in accord with the provisions of
Section 4.10.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
On January 3,2001, the applicant received approval for a waiver of the
required setbacks from the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) for relief from
Section 10.4 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow reduction of the front yard
setback.
The Planning Commission is being request to waive setback the regulation
set forth in Section 4.10.3.1 governing setbacks from property lines related
to the height of structures. The Ordinance requires that structures, including
towers, are setback from property lines at a distance equal to the height of
the structure.
r'\
As the reduction in setback would only exacerbate the high visibility of this
site to the road, staff is also recommending disapproval of the setback
, waiver, although, in the past this setback provision was seen as a method to
prevent undue crowding of the land and to prevent safety hazards if a
structure should fall (Section 4.10.3.1).
SUMMARY
. Staffhas identified the following factors that are favorable to this request:
1. The facility would provide increased wireless capacity, which may be
considered consistent with the provisions of Sections 1.4, 1.4.4,
and 1.5 of the Zoning Ordinance;
2. The facility would not restrict permitted uses on the subject property
or on adjacent properties.
. Staffhas identified the following factors that are unfavorable to this
request:
1. The site is within the Entrance Corridor District;
r'1
2. The pole could be viewed from I 64 and State Route 708;
SP 00-64 Weber
01/03/01

3. Limited tree and landscaping coverage would allow clear visibility
from the road of both the ground equipment and the tower;
4. The third tower on this property may serve to draw attention to the
site.
. The following factor is relevant to this consideration:
There is an existing, reasonable use of this property.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends disapproval of SP 00-64, based on the factors listed
above. However, should the Planning Commission and Board of
Supervisions consider approval of this request, the following conditions of
approval are included for consideration:
1.
The top of the pole, as measured Above Sea Level (ASL), shall never
exceed ten (10) feet above the top of the tallest tree within twenty-five
(25) feet of the facility, as measured Above Sea Level (ASL). No
antennas or equipment, with the exception of the grounding rod, shall
be located above the top of the pole.
.~,
2. The pole shall be designed, constructed and maintained as follows:
a. The pole shall be a wooden pole, dark brown in color;

What is the comprehensive plan designation for this property?
Rural! Agricultural
How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
The proposed 88-foot monopole will not adversely affect adjacent property, as the
pole and antennas will be only 10 feet above the tallest tree in the area, and will be
minimally visible from adjacent property.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district surrounding
the property?
The proposed facility is not inconsistent with the existing development in the
area, since it will not generate additional traffic or development, and preserves the
character of the area, Because the area surrounding the property contains many tall trees
and because the proposed pole and antenna will be sited within a grove of tall trees so
that it will be only minimally visible, the character of the district surrounding the
property will not be affected, The proposed facility will effectively blend with the
existing trees on and nearby the property.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance?
The proposed facility is consistent with the County's preference for monopole
structures, which extend slightly above the treetops as discussed in the County's wireless
design manual. In addition, wireless telecommunications services provide a public
service to the community by creating a "convenient, attractive and harmonious
community," consistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance,
I"'""--'~;.
How is the use i~ harmony with the uses permitted by-right in the district?
The proposed facility will not restrict the current uses or other by-right uses
available at this property or by-right uses on any other property.

What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the zoning ordinance apply
to this use?
Section 5,1,12, which outlines public utility structures and uses.
How will this use promote the public health, safety and general welfare of this
community?
The proposed facility will provide increase and improved wireless services to this
portion of Albemarle County, especially emergency communications, and will increase
overall communication services.
Describe your request in detail and include all pertinent information such as
numbers of persons involved in the use, operating hours, and unique features of the
use:
Triton PCS, Inc. ("Triton") proposes to construct, maintain and manage a wireless
telecommunications facility on property owned by David Weber, identified as tax map ,~
16
parcel 73-31 D. The facility would be comprised of a wooden monopole with flush-
~ mounted antennas, along with the necessary transmitting and receiving equipment.
Triton operates a Personal Communications Service (PCS) system, providing the
most technological advanced wireless communications throughout Southeastern United
States. Triton and AT&T Digitial PCS have undertaken a joint venture to expand the
AT &T digital PCS network to over 11 million people in Virginia, South Carolina, North
Carolina ad Georgia. Triton is a member of the AT&T Digital Wireless Network,
licensed to cover more than eighty percent of the United States. AT&T Digital PCS
provides convenient and secure mobile communications, combining voice, messaging
and paging communications in a single phone.
Triton has entered into a lease agreement with the property owners for a 30x30
lease area with the facility located entirely within this area. The facility will be accessed
by an existing gravel driveway, which will be extended to reach the lease area. The
location of the extension of the access was carefully designed to avoid the need to
remove any trees or other mature vegetation, In addition, the lease area itself is within an
existing small clearing, The facility will emit no noise, odor or glare, Nor will it
interfere with television or radio reception in the surrounding areas. The facility will not
be lit, unless required by the FAA.
. ,1"'\
To develop its network, Triton has divided the Basic Trading Area region into
small geographic sections ("cells"). Each "cell" site holds the equipment that provide the
air interface to the subscriber units and must be precisely located relative to other "cells"
to create a reliable communications grid system. This grid system must reflect the
topography and traffic (use population and building density) of the "cells" as well as the
radius of the respective antenna's reliable transmission area,
Triton's FCC license requires it to operate its system in a defined service region
using designated radio frequencies. Each site must be precisely located relative to other
facilities within the network to ensure that Triton complies with the terms of its license.
The network requires a facility at this location to avoid a gap in service to this portion of
Albemarle County.
,
Triton carefully selected and designed the proposed facility to provide a structure
that provides adequate height and range of coverage, while meeting the goals of the
community by minimizing the impact of the proposed facility on adjacent or nearby
properties. Location of the facility on this parcel will enable Triton to construct the
facility without the need to remove any mature vegetation, and with only a minimal
amount of grading and clearing,
The subject parcel is zoned Rural! Agricultural. The surrounding properties within
2000' of the proposed facility are primarily used for rural residential and agricultural
purposes. The tract ofland on which the site is located contains 10.31 acres.
1"',
17
A surveyor has estimated the tallest tree within 25' of the proposed facility to be
78 feet. We are requesting an 88-foot pole to enable the signal from the antenna to
extend over and beyond these taller trees. The heights, locations and base elevations of
other trees within close proximity of the proposed pole are shown on the enclosed plans,
We have conducted a visual impact analysis with a balloon to demonstrate that the
facility will only be minimally visible from the Entrance Corridor and surrounding
properties,
The facility was designed to strictly comply with the County's wireless design
manuaL The antenna panels will be flush-mounted to the pole and will not extend above
the top of the pole. The pole will retain its natural wood color (dark brown) and the
antenna panels, equipment cabinet and cables will all be painted to match the color of the
pole, In addition, the concrete pad will be tinted earth tone to blend in with the
surrounding wooded area. The design and the siting of the facility will minimize its
visibility from surrounding properties, as it will blend in with the existing trees in the
area.
Once constructed, the facility will be visited approximately one time per month
for routine maintenance checks, The facility will not impact the provision of services by
Albemarle County, As a telecommunications facility, this proposal will serve the
community by fostering increased communications, especially emergency
communications.
Most importantly, due to its design and precise location, the facility will be only
minimally visible from nearby roads and residences.

Re: SP 00-64 Weber (Triton PCS - CVR 3470)
Dear Joan:
Pursuant to your request, I am writing to clarify some changes to our application for SP
00-64 Weber (Triton PCS - CVR 3470), The changes ,are reflected in the plans that were hand
delivered to you on November 28, 2000, which are the most current.
~i
As you know, the property owner requested that we relocate the lease area to the
location shown on the current plans. When we relocated the pole to the new lease area we
adjusted the height of the pole to account for the difference in the heights of the trees within the
25-foot radius, As you can see on the current plans, the tallest tree within 25 feet of the
centerline of the proposed pole is 84 feet tall. With that in mind, we now request a pole height
that is 10 feet above the tallest tree, which corresponds to a 94-foot pole.
In addition, we have also amended our application to request a pole made of steel rather
than wood, The steel pole would be painted a flat, dark brown color that would match that used
for the equipment cabinet and panel antennas, Steel poles are much easier to obtain, transport
and construct than a wooden pole, as steel poles can be transported and assembled in multiple
pieces, It is my understanding that when painted dark brown, the steel poles are nearly
identical in appearance to the wooden ones.
Now that the plans have been revised I would appreciate the opportunity to schedule a
balloon test at this property with you, Perhaps we could conduct a test here on Thursday,
December 14th, just after the test we already have scheduled for that morning at the Howell
property. If this date does not work with your schedule I am happy to meet you another day.
Please contact me to confirm the date you would prefer.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 977-2545 should have any questions regarding
the application or require any additional information to conduct your review. I appreciate your
assistance.
f'l
Very truly yours,
U~W,~~

during balloon test of December 5,2000
Balloon is several feet lower than 94 feet due to wind, but this
photograph should provide an idea of the distance to the property
and the level of screening.
The proposed Triton pole will blend in with the existing bare trees
due to its design, color and materials, as does the existing CFW
pole

View of Weber property through and over fence along

Triton's landscaping plan provides for cedars inside the fence
line to provide screening. They will be six feet tall at planting.
The white vehicle is parked just inside the gate, which we will
replace with an opaque wooden gate

SP 00-066 PHILIP MARSHALL (CHARLOTTESVILLE CELLULAR)
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to attach a twenty-one (21) foot whip antenna to an existing 89-foot
tall metal monopole structure allowed by a previously approved special use permit (SP 97-51).
All ground equipment would be contained in an existing building that is currently located within
the lease site for the existing wireless facility. According to the applicant's request, approval of
this facility would enable Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation to monitor a natural gas
pipeline which passes over Goodlow Mountain. (Attachment A). The property, described as Tax
Map 36/ParceI19, contains approximately 121 acres zoned RA, Rural Areas (Attachment B).
This site lies within the Rivanna Magisterial District and is designated as Rural Areas 3 by the
Comprehensive Plan.
Plannin2 and Zonin~ History
~t
SP 97-051 Goodlow Mountain (U.S Cellular) - At its October 13, 1999 meeting, the Board of
Supervisors unanimously approved a special use permit allowing the construction of the existing
personal wireless communications facility and 89-foot tall metal monopole structure at a height
of not more than seven feet above the tallest tree within 25-foot ofthe monopole. The conditions
of approval for SP 97-51 currently limit the types of external antennas allowed on the monopole
to panel antennas measuring no more than 6 feet in height and one foot in width (Attachment C).
The applicant originally requested approval of a 120-foot tall tower for the purpose of replacing
the original 123-foot tall Columbia Gas tower which was accidentally damaged and reduced to a
height to 60 feet in 1996. That request included a proposal to equip the new facility with panel
antennas for personal wireless communications, as well as a whip antenna to replace the antenna
that was damaged when the 123-foot tower was toppled.
Petition:
This request is for a special u~e permit to allow the addition of a radio antenna in accordance
with Section 10.2.2.6 ofthe Zoning Ordinance which allows for radio wave transmission and
relay towers. The applicant, Charlottesville Cellular Partnership, maintains the existing
monopole and wireless facility, Because the types of equipment that can be attached externally
to the monopole is restricted to flush mounted panel antennas, the applicant has submitted this
request for the purpose of amending the special use permit conditions to allow the attachment of
a whip antenna to the monopole. The conditions of approval also require removal ofthe
remaining 60-foot portion of the original tower which currently serves as a mounting structure
for a whip antenna that Columbia Gas currently utilizes as part of their monitoring and
communications systems, In order to replace the antenna on the old damaged tower, the
r,
"

applicant seeks approval to amend the conditions of the special use permit in order to allow
attachment ofthe proposed whip antenna to the monopole approved with SP 97-51. If this
special use permit is approved the applicant would then be able remove that structure without
disrupting the monitoring system.
~
Character of the Area:
This site is located on a ridgeline, near the peak of Goodlow Mountain where the facility is set
within the tree line along the southern side ofthe Columbia Gas pipeline easement. The
elevation of the facility is approximately 1,380 feet Above Sea Level (ASL) and the peak of the
mountain is at an elevation of 1,504 feet ASL. The property is in an area identified as the
Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District, and property to the south is within an
Agricultural/F orestal District.
There are no dwellings within 2000 feet of the facility and the nearest public road is more than
one mile away from the facility site. Currently, the 89-foot tall monopole and the remaining 60
feet of the original tower, which has a whip antenna extending to a height of89 feet attached,
exist present inside the lease area (Attachment D).
RECOMMENDATION
Staffhas reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval with conditions.
~
Comprehensive Plan:
This special use permit application has been reviewed for consistency with the Comprehensive
Plan. Staff notes that this proposal does not necessitate any additional clearing because the
antenna would be attached to an existing monopole that has existing electrical utilities, and
vehicular access is already provided to the site is from the existing gravel road which begins at
State Route 777 and extends southeast to the facility site. Therefore, staff has only reviewed the
possible impacts of the antenna itself for compliance with the provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.
The Open Space Plan and the Natural Resources and Cultural Assets chapter provide staffwith
guidance for the protection of the County's natural, scenic and historic resources, and
preservation and management of those resources in order to protect the environment and
conservation for future use. The Open Space Concept Map provides an inventory of critical
resources and identifies the areas where those resources are present throughout the entire County.
Identified Open Space resources that are present on the subject parcel and could be potentially
affected by this application are a Mountain Resource Area and a Historic District. The
Comprehensive Plan identifies these types of resources as valuable economic and aesthetic assets
that help define the overall character ofthe County. Staff analysis focuses mainly on the visual
impact of the proposed antenna from surrounding properties and roadways.

The existing facility is situated within the nationally registered Southwest Mountains Historic
District. At the time when this area was added to the national registry the original tower was
present on the site at the height of 123-feet. However, when the monopole structure was
approved as SP 97-051, staff s recommendation included a determination that a monopole
structure at tree top height would have substantially less impact on the historic district than the
120-foot tower which was proposed at the time. The Board concurred with staffs opinion and
approved the monopole at no more than 7 feet above the height of the tallest tree within 25 feet.
This action resulted in the existing 89 feet tall monopole to which the proposed antenna would be
attached. Although the Southwest Mountains are visible from Routes 20 and 231, both of which
are designated as Virginia Byways and Entrance Corridor's, staff notes that neither the 89- foot
tall monopole or the 60-foot section of the original tower, are visible from those two distant
roads. Staff notes that the properties just south of the subject parcel also lie within an
Agricultural/Forestal District (Blue Run).
The Personal Wireless Service Facilities Policy was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in
December, 2000 in order to provide the guidelines for siting and review of wireless facility
proposals. The services to be provided by the proposed whip antenna are within scope of the
definition of personal wireless facilities, as provided in the recently approved Personal Wireless
Policy Manual. With consideration for the wireless policy, the County has generally favored and
approved cellular and PCS systems that are capable of utilizing two or three panel antennas,
mounted so as to protrude no more than 12 inches from the face of monopole structures.
However, the applicant has provided additional information indicating that technological
constraints will not allow the whip antenna to function properly if it were "flush-mounted" to the
monopole (Attachment E). Therefore, the proposal includes a request to allow the whip antenna
to be attached to the mast with an arm that would extend 6 feet out from the mas(in order to
allow it to transmit an omni-directional signal.
The recommendations of the Wireless Policy state that visibility is the most important principle
for siting personal wireless service facilities. Furthermore, except when strategically sited and
designed so as to minimize visibility and mitigate their impacts upon the natural landscape, these
facilities should not be located within "Avoidance Areas" such as mountains. The
Comprehensive Plan designates mountains as major open space systems that provide scenic
views, naturally forested areas and wildlife habitat, and are recommended for protection in the
Rural Areas, This includes building structures that are no taller than the natural tree canopy, and
locating structures so that they are not "skylighted" against the horizon, and do not alter the
ridge line.
Staff has determined that the existing monopole, at treetop height, is only slightly visible from
Route 777 through the clearing for the gas pipeline. The limited visibility ofthe monopole and
other equipment within the facility is consistent with the goals that are set forth in the wireless
policy. Therefore, a whip antenna that is 2-3/4 inches in diameter and extends no higher than the
top of the monopole would not increase the visual impact of the monopole. In fact, due to its
rather small diameter, it is unlikely that the antenna itself would even be visible from outside of
the facility's lease site. Therefore, staff has determined that approval ofthis application would
not be inconsistent with the policies and guidelines set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for siting
wireless facilities and protecting the important resources of Albemarle County.

STAFF COMMENT:
,~
Staffwill address the issues ofthis request in four sections:
1. Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance;
2. Section 704 (a)(7)(b)(I)(II) ofthe Telecommunications Act of 1996; and,
1. Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits
permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued
upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adiacent property.
Due to the existing tree cover, visibility of all structures within the site is obscured from areas
lying directly north and south of Goodlow Mountain. Even in knowing the exact location of the
facility site, staffhas observed that the existing monopole is nearly invisible from Route 777
when facing eastward along the Columbia Gas pipeline. Because the proposed whip antenna is
only inches in diameter and would extend no higher than the monopole, staffhas determined that
there would be no increase in the visibility of the facility. Furthermore, no additional disturbance
would be necessary within the lease area, the pipeline easement, or the service road access
easement. Therefore, staff is of the opinion that the addition of the antenna would not impose
any physical disturbance upon the natural state of the forests surrounding the site, or visual
impact on the adjacent properties and public roads.
~,
With the recognition that the proposed antenna is intended to replace an existing, operational
whip antenna currently attached to the remaining portion of the original 120-foot tower, staffhas
also determined that there would not be an increase in the current amount of vehicular traffic in
the area.
Based on the above-cited factors, staff finds that the proposed facility would not impose any
substantial detriment to adjacent properties,
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby.
The purposes of the Rural Areas zoning district include preservation ofthe agricultural and
forestal lands and activities, and conservation of the natural, scenic and historic resources. Uses
allowed by right are either residential, or those related to agriculture and forestal activities. Uses
allowed by special use permit in the Rural Areas district are most often services related to those
activities, Staff recognizes that that presence of various types of utilities in the Rural Areas is not
uncommon and a whip antenna was attached to the original 123-foot tower that had been present
at this site for more than 30 years. Other examples of utilities within the district include the
presence of several wooden utility poles and overhead power lines that provide services to the
properties surrounding this site.
4
1""'\.
The adjacent property located directly south of the subject parcel is designated as the Blue Run
Agricultural Forestal District. The vegetation on either side of the gas pipeline easement helps
to restrict the visibility of the monopole from properties located south and north of the site.
Therefore, it is the opinion of staff that approval of the proposed antenna would not negatively
impact the agricultural and forestal activities within the Rural Areas, nor the Blue Run
Agricultural Forestal District.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance.
Staffhas reviewed this request with consideration for the purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance as stated Sections 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6, with particular reference to Sections 10, 1.4, 1.4.4,
and 1.5. All of these provisions address, in one form or another, the provision of public services,
In Section 10.1 of the Zoning Ordinance the limited delivery of services is listed as one of the
intents for the Rural Areas District. The Columbia Gas pipeline is an established utility which
clearly provides services throughout the area, and the monitoring system is necessary in order to
provide support for the pipeline during routine maintenance, and in the event of an emergency.
n
Section 1.4.3 states as an intent of the Ordinance, "To facilitate the creation of a convenient,
attractive and harmonious community". Because collocation proposed with this request would
result in the presence of fewer utility structures within the facility, it is staffs opinion that this
proposal would result in facilitating a !llore convenient and attractive community. Furthermore,
the whip antenna promotes the capacity to help preserve the remaining forested areas by allowing
the monitoring of the pipeline if emergencies were to occur. Therefore, staff opinion is that this
request complies with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
with the uses permitted by right in the district.
The proposed facility will not restrict the current uses on the subject parcel, or by-right uses on
any other property within the district.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance. and with the public
health. safety and general welfare.
Section 5.1.12 ofthe Ordinance contains regulations for locating public utility structures,
provided that the proposed utility "will not endanger the health and safety of workers and/or
residents in the community and will not impair or prove detrimental to neighboring properties or
the development of the same," It is the opinion of staff that the Columbia Gas pipeline is an
existing public utility and that the act of attaching the antenna to the monopole would not be
detrimental to the surrounding properties or the community. In contrast, the provision of
increased communication facilities, in the event of emergencies, is considered to be consistent
with the public health and safety and general welfare. Therefore, by providing the support
needed to facilitate maintenance of the utilities within the pipeline, the monitoring system
contributes to the overall health and safety of the nearby residents their properties.

Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(II) of The Telecommunications Act of 1996:
r"\
5
The regulation of the placement construction and modification of personal wireless
facilities by any state or local government or instrumentality thereof shall not prohibit or
have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services.
,~
The Telecommunications Act addresses issues of environmental effects with the following
language, "No state or local government or instrumentality thereofmay regulate the placement
construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the
environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with
the Commissions' regulations concerning such emissions". In order to operate this facility, the
applicant is required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions. This
requirement will adequately protect the public health and safety.
The applicant has acknowledged that the support to be provided by the proposed antenna is
currently available through the antenna that is attached to the remainder of the original 123-foot
tall tower. Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the provision of
personal wireless service. However, the conditions of approval for the monopole (SP 97-051)
require the remaining portion of the original structure to be removed, while restricting the types
of antennas that can be attached to the monopole to flush-mounted panel antennas measuring no
more than 6 feet in height. For this reason, staffis of the opinion that denial of this application
would have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless monitoring services for
this section of the Columbia Gas pipeline.
SUMMARY:
~
Staffhas identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request:
1 . The proposed whip antenna is considered to be a collocation opportunity.
2. The antenna will not restrict any permitted uses or impose any additional impacts on
adjacent properties.
3, The antenna would not extend any higher than the to top of the existing monopole.
4. The antenna will not be visible from areas outside of the facility site and the Columbia
Gas pipeline easement.
5. No clearing or other disturbance is necessary for the placement of the antenna.
Staff has identified no unfavorable factors that would result from the approval of this request.
The following factors are relevant to this consideration:
1.
The proposal for the monopole was originally intended to allow attachment of the whip
antenna for Columbia Gas.
Approval of this request would allow a reduction in the number of structures at the site by
facilitating the removal of the remaining portion of the original 120-foot tower.
Approval of this request would require the need to amend the existing conditions of
Special Use Permit SP 97-051.

The metal monopole has not yet been painted the natural wood color as required by
conditions of approval for SP 97-051.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is stafP s opinion that the existing approved facility complies with the provisions of the
Ordinance and is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, and that this request generally
complies with the goals set forth in the Wireless Policy Manual. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of the requested special use permit subject to the with conditions, including a condition
to amend condition number 4(a) of the approved special use permit (SP 97-051). The original
approval letter is provided as Attachment C.

How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
The proposed use will not affect adjacent property. Attachment of the antenna will not require
significant construction work and therefore will not disturb soil or require removal of trees.
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation ("TCO") intends to use the existing building on the
Site so new construction will not be required. The attachment of an additional antenna will
cause' no interference with the activities of adjoining properties,
How will the proposed special use affect he character of the district surrounding the
property?
,
The proposed antenna will not extend above the height of the existing tower. The Applicant
proposes to paint the mounting hardware, antenna and coax cable to match the tower. This will
minimize any potential effect on the surrounding district that may be caused by any visibility of
the antenna on the tower.
A tower with an attached extending 12' "whip" style antenna has been present on the Goodlow
Mountain site for over 30 years. SP 97-51 permitted the construction of a new radio
communication tower at this Site and up to three exterior-mounted panel antennas may be
attached to the new tower. Accordingly, the proposed use is consistent with the present and
permitted uses in the area. .~
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of th,e Zoning Ordinance?
The intent of Section 1.4 of the Zoning Ordinance is to improve public health, safety,
convenience and the welfare of the citizens of Albemarle County, Sections 1,5 and 1,6 concern
the need for adequate public services. The proposed antenna will serve an essential public
service by enabling TCO to monitor its natural gas pipeline operations in the area.
Section 1.4,3 of the Zoning Ordinance seeks to create an "attractive and harmonious
community", Traditionally. opponents of radio communication towers contend that such towers
have a negative visual impact and diminish the attractiveness of the surrounding area. TCO
proposes to place its antenna on the existing tower; this tower was constructed by and will be
owned by the Applicant who will place its own antennas upon the tower in accordance with SP
97-51. Such collocation of antennas by different owners on an existing tower in Albemarle
County decreases the need for additional tower sites. This in turn preserves other agricultural
and forest lands in the community (Section 1.4,8) and allays concerns about the possible negative
visual impact on the community,

How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district?
PAGE 5
~
The proposed antenna will not restrict or interfere in any way with the uses permitted by right in
the district.
What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply to this
use?
Section 5,1,12 provides certain regulations governing tower facilities, SP 95-17 requires the
Applicant to comply with Section 5,1.12 and the Applicant has and will continue to comply with
this requirement.
How will this use promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community?
'"
This proposal will promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community by enabling
TeO to monitor its natural gas pipeline operations, Such monitoring may prove to be invaluable
in the event of emergencies,
Describe your request in detail and include all pertinent information such as the numbers
of persons involved in the use, operating hours, and any unique features of the use:
,,-..}
\ '
The Applicant requests a minor amendment to Paragraph 4(a) of the conditions to SP 97 -5l.
Paragraph 4(a) permits antennas to be attached to the tower but stipulates that such antennas
shall be limited to three flush-mounted panel antennae that must not exceed 6' in height and 12"
in width,
The Applicant proposes to externally mount on the existing tower a 21' omni stick antenna on a
6' stand-off extension arm, The Applicant intends to utilize a vertical extension member to raise
the height of the antenna, although its total height will not exceed the overall height of the tower.
The Applicant will run a W' coax cable that will be secured to the outside face of the tower and
bridged into the existing shelter via a pole bridge. The cable and antenna will be tied into the
existing tower ground, Please refer to the attached diagram of the antenna,
In addition, the Applicant requests a waiver of the site plan requirement for this Amendment. On
October 13, 1997, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the
request for a waiver of the site plan for SP 97-51 subject to: (1) approval of an erosion and
sediment control plan prior to the issuance of a building permit, and (2) provision for one
parking space. In light of this waiver and the limited nature of this proposed amendment, the
Applicant contends that submission of a site plan would not serve the public interest; equally, it
will not forward the purpose of the Ordinance,

Dear Sirs:
This is to advise that the undersigned has a License Agreement with Charlottesville
Cellular Partnership for the use of an existing radio communications tower and related
improvements on property in Albemarle County, Virginia. The property is more particularly
described in that certain License Agreement, dated June 15, 1998. As the landowner of property
on which the tower is located, I support Charlottesville Cellular Partnership in their efforts to
obtain permits and/or zoning approvals (including, but not limited to an Application for Special
Use Permit - SP- 97-51, as amended) for the construction, and use on the property for a radio
communications tower, and related improvements,
Very truly yours,

Re: S.P. 97-51 Goodlow Mountain (TM 36, Parcel 16) Official Determination
Dear Mr. Blaine:
"....,.,
The purpose of this letter is to provide determinations for three questions relating to this
special use permit for a telecommunications facility. Two of the three questions involve
an interpretation of the conditions of the current approval. The third question relates to
the procedure for amendment to the application. The questions of interpretation are in
response to your letter of November 8th.
The process question is whether the current owner's approval will also authorize
amendment to this special use permit. It is my opinion that the November 11, 1998
letter from owner Philip S. Marsha!! provides sufficiently broad authorization to include
the submittal of a request to amend the conditions of approval for this use. The owner
states in this letter "I support Charlottesville Cellular Partnership in their efforts to obtain
permits and/or zoning approvals (including, but not limited to an Application for Special
Use Permit - SP-97 -51, as amended) for the construction, and use on the property for a
radio communications tower, and related improvements." My opinion is based on the
following:
. The owner remains the same;
. The proposed use has not / will not change and does not differ from that which is
described in the letter;
. The language is broad in terms of approvals "permits and/or zoning approvals" and
while the specific special use permit i~ listed it is with the language "including, but
not limited to"

Determination Letter to Steven Blaine

November 11, 1999
ATTACHMENT A
PAGE 10
,
The other determinations you requested relate to an interpretation of conditions of the
October 13, 1999 approval by the Board of Supervisors. Condition #1 states:
The height of the tower shall not exceed 7 feet above the height of the tallest tree
within 25 feet of the tower. The applicant shall provide a certified statement on
the height of the tallest tree. Antenna may extend 3 feet above the height of the
tower.
It is my opinion that the 25 foot distance from which to determine tree height, is
measured from the closest tree within a grouP. It is evident that this was the intent
because this tower site is located within a clearing.
.~-\
You have submitted a plan dated October 26, 1999 which is certified by David
Blankenbaker, surveyor. This plan reflects the fact that the tallest tree in that area is
located 52 feet from the tower. It is a 24" poplar tree which is 82 feet in height.
Therefore, the tower may not exce~d 89 feet in height and the antenna may not extend
to a height of more than 92 feet. '
The final decision you requested relates to an interpretation of condition #2. The
relevant portions of this condition are as follows:
a. The tower shall be of wood or constr!Jction similar to the design and
dimensions (other than height) of the existing tower; .
d. The tower shall be natural wood color.
It is my opinion that this condition would permit the use of a monopole structure made of c,
steel, so long as it is painted a natural wood color. This type and design of tower
structure will meet the intent of these conditions.
If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty (30)
days of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2-
2311 of the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall
be final and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning
Administrator and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal which specifies the
grounds for the appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with
the fee of $95. The date notice of this determination was given is specified above. If
you have any questions, please contact me.

5. The tower shall be used, or have the potential to be used, for the collocation of other
wireless telecommunications providers, as follows:

evidence that the permittee has offered to allow other providers to locate
on the tower and site in exchange for reciprocal rights on a tower and site
owned or controlled by another provider within Albemarle County.
~.
The use ot this facility by additional telecommunication providers will
require amendment of this special use permit. The presence of this
condition in no way implies approval of additional uses for this facility or

grading necessary to improve travel surface and the application of gravel.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued shall not
be commenced within eighteen (18) months after the issuance of such permit, the same shall be
deemed abandoned and the authority granted thereunder shall thereupon terminate. For purposes
of this section, the term "commenced" shall be construed to include the commencement of

Re: SP-2000-066 Goodlow Mountain
Dear Steve:
.~
Enclosed please find a sketch prepared on behalf of CNS Microwave, Inc. that illustrates the
proposed attachment of the new antenna on the monopole tower. As we discussed, this antenna can be
attached on either face of the tower, The antenna will be 21' in height; the base of the antenna will
measure approximately 2 %, and taper to approximately I y, at the top. This sketch proposes a mounting
elevation on the tower at 47'; the antenna would therefore extend to a total elevation of68.' As this
antenna will be used by Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation ("TCa") to monitor its gas pipeline, it
isesselltial that the antenna be omni-directional; in other words, it must be able to transmit in a 3600
pattern, Accordingly, the antenna cannot be flush-mounted, but must be mounted on a standoff bracket
approximately 6' from the tower.
In light of the impending deadline for your report to the Planning Commission, I have submitted
this plan as you have requested to assist you with your report. Unfortunately, the technician assigned to
this project by TCa has not granted his final approval of this sketch. It is necessary that the technician
confirm that the dimensions of the antenna and its proposed position on the tower will enable TCa to
effectively monitor its gas pipeline, Accordingly, until such time, I must emphasize that this should be
considered only a preliminary sketch, and Tea reserves the right to amend this sketch in any respect prior
to final approval by the Board of Supervisors, I anticipate being able to speak to the technician on
Wednesday, December 27,2000. and. I will inform you immediately of any changes to this sketch,
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need anything further. With warm regards for the
holidays, I remain,
Very truly yours,

Re: SP-2000-066 Goodlow Mountain
Dear Steve:
Further to our telephone conversation last week, I enclose herewith a letter from Mr. Todd Adams, an
engineer with NiSource, the parent company of Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation. As you will see, Mr.
Adams explains that it is critical that the antenna be mounted on the tower via a 6 ft, extension arm to ensure
safe and effective monitoring of the gas pipeline. Our client requested in the original application that it be
allowed to mount the antenna on a 6 ft, extension arm, but I understand that it is now the policy of your
Department to, whenever possible, stipulate that antennas must be mounted within 12" of the tower. However,
the present application raises issues that affect the safety of the residents of Albemarle County and, in light of
such concerns, we ask again that you allow this request as an exception to the current policy,
".-.,...
Mr. Adams also addresses the issue of the appropriate mounting elevation of the antenna on the tower, I
previously submitted to you, under cover of letter dated December 22, 2000, a sketch of the tower showing the
antenna attached at an elevation of 47 ft, As I stated in that letter, this sketch was expressly conditional upon a
technician reviewing the plans on behalf of Columbia Gas. Indeed, as you will see, Mr. Adams points out the
advantages to all parties of mounting the antenna at the highest possible elevation, Accordingly, as we
discussed last week, we ask that you ignore the previous sketch showing a mounting elevation of 47ft" and
permit the antenna to be mounted on the tower at an elevation of no greater than 68 ft, While I hope to be able
to provide you with a revised sketch plan early next week, it will be identical to the pian that I previously
submitted, except, of course, it will show the antenna mounted at a height of 68 ft. instead of 47ft,
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need any further information.
Very truly yours,

Re: SP-2000-066. Antenna Mounting Requirements
Dear Mr. Waller:
1 am senior network engineer at NiSource, the parent company of Columbia Gas Transmission Company
r'TeO") and J am responsible for advising TCa with respect to technical issues relating to Application SP-2000-
066, My qualifications are 9 years of professional telecom experience and a BSEE degree. This letter is being
submitted on behalf of TCO to request a modification to the installation design for the GOOdlow Mtn site.
n
As you are aware, TCO seeks permission to mount an antenna capable of effectlvely monitoring its gas pipeline
upon the newly constructed monopole tower. They have had an opportunity to inspect the sketch plan that was
previously submitted to you in December 2000. While the antenna dimensions proposed in this sketch are
approved. it would be benefici<)1 to all parties and the residents of Albemarle County if the antenna were
mounted on the tower at a higher elevation than 47ft. TCO would receive better coverage at a higher elevation I
and I therefore request that you consider permitting the base of the antenna to be mounted on the tower at an
elevation of up to 68ft, The tower is 89ft. and the proposed antenna will be 21 ft. in length; acoordingly this would
give TCa the best possible coverage without exceeding the overall height of the tower. TCa will wor1< with US
Cellular to resolve any issues that may arise with a proposed mounting elevation of greater than 47ft.
Of even greater importance. the antenna must be mounted on a 6ft extension arm to ensure that the radiating
properties of the antenna are not significantly altered by the tower. This is standard practice on side mounted
antennas because mounting inside of a wavelenth @ 153 Mhz would cause distortion of the omni-directional
antenna pattern and decrease the resulting coverage area, A decrease in coverage area would limit
communications with our workforce. which could impact the enUre community if t/'lere was an emergency
related to the pipeline, Our radio system is a crucial resource during any emergency situation.
Please C"..ontact me if you should need any further information.
Sincerely,
j.d -k.--
Todd Adams

Re: SP-2000-066 Goodlow Mountain
Dear Steve:
Further to my letter dated January 19,2001, please find enclosed two copies of a sketch plan
showing the antenna mounted at a height of 67 ft, on the monopole tower. This sketch indicates the
presence of a ball at the top of the tower that does not in fact exist at this time. As you can see from
the sketch, without such ball the tower stands at 88 ft. We asked previously that you allow a mounting
elevation of up to 68 ft. but, in the absence of the ball, our client modifies this request and asks that
you allow a mounting elevation of up to 67 ft. This modification is requested simply to ensure that
there is no concern that the antenna will extend above the overall height ofthe tower.

Dear Mr. Stoner:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on January 30, 2001 ,unanimously
recommended approval of the above-noted petition to the Board of Supervisors. Please note that this
approval is subject to the proffers as revised at the meeting, Changes made to the proffers were:
#4 - At the time of commencement of construction of either the upgraded bridge or the Rio-Free
State Connector road, the owners agrees to post a bond for the construction of the road
described above. If commencement of the upgrading of Free State Bridge or the connector Road

Board of Supervisors, then the owner shall be relieved of the obligation to construct a public road
in this location,
#7 - A conceptual overlot grading plan, reviewed and approved by Engineering, is required prior
to issuing of any permits for this site, All lots shall be graded as shown on the approved plan or
as shown on the latest revision to the approved plan approved by Engineering, The overlot
grading plan shall show: 1) building pads which minimize grades steeper than 10% within 10' of
the house; 2) driveways with no grades steeper than 16% and 20' sections graded no steeper
than 5% in front of garages or on parking spaces; and 3) drainage patterns with sufficient detail
that Engineering can verify concentrated flows are not directed across adjoining lots except in
storm sewers and all flows are adequately conveyed from lots to a storm drainage system
approved by the County."
#8 - Prior to initiating any'grading, the developer will have a Phase 1 archaeological survey done
on Tax Map 62, Parcel 12 and report findings, if any, to the Albemarle County Planning
Department.
The Commission also took the following actions:
Critical Slopes Waiver Request - Approved, by a vote of 6-0, the critical slopes waiver request,
contingent upon a successful rezoning.
Page 2
February 1, 2001
Preliminary Plat Request - - Approved, by a vote of 6-0, subject to the following conditions:
1. Diversion of stormwater at the rear of lots 39 - 41 should be avoided in order to better preserve the
open space. Instead, it is recommended that diversion take place in the ditches along the Road A
and be piped under the cul-de-sac. Pipes should be used between lots 35 and 36 and between lots
38 and 39 to take flow directly down to stormwater facility.
2. An access road must be provided to the detention facility, Along with the stormwater facility, this
access road should be in open space rather than on any individual lots,
3, Site grading for Lot 36 should be modified to spread out the fill more evenly on the surrounding lots
rather than create 2:1 slopes at the rear of Lot 36.
4, Approval of a critical slopes waiver for lots 40 and 41,
Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and receive
public comment at their meeting on February 14, 2001. Any new or additional information regarding your
application must be submitted to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at least seven days prior to your
scheduled hearing date,

Dear Ms. Echols:
We are writing to strongly urge that the Planning Commission require a Phase I
archaeological survey be conducted prior to the fezoning of property described as Tax
Map #62 Parcels 7, 12, and 13. These parcels axe located in the Rivanna Magisterial
District between Dunlora Drive aod Free State Road. The parcels are owned by Donna
Havens and StoneHaus Development is requesting the rezoning prior to the purchase of
this land.
1"""\
We oppose the rezoning application prior to full documentation of the historic resources
on Tax Map 62, parcels 7, 12, and 13. This preljrnin~1J' plat is a portion of a historically
significant plantation that played anjmpQrtant role in the political, social, and economic
history of Albemarle County. Its value bas been overlooked during the previous phases
of Stonehaus Development in the Dunlora area. We would like to provide you with a
brief history of the Dunlora and Free State areas. The following information is derived
from primary sources (deeds and wills locm-ed ill Albemarle COWlty Court House), as
well as secondary sources, memoirs, and oral histories. Weare certain that continued
research would provide a fuller picture of the expanse and influence ofDunlora and Free
State in shaping the County.
Dunlora was originally.part of a 5..000-acre plat acquired by Major Thomas Carr between
1730 and 1737. He built his main residence at Dunlora in 1735. During the mid-18th
century, the Dunlora Estate moved from Thomas Carr to his son John Carr. John Carr
died in 1769 and John's son, Colonel Samuel Carr, inherited the property. Colonel
Samuel em did not have any children and the Dunlora estate was passed to his nephew,
also named Samuel Can. There is some confusion as to when the Dunlora estate passed
to his nephew as Samuel Carr (nephew) was also a Colonel in the War of 1812. County
records call both men "Colonel Samuel Carr" and they do not always specify which
Samuel Carr was involved in land transactions. It is believed that Samuel Carr (neph~)
owned the Dunlora Estate by the late 18205.
Samuel Carr (nephew) was the son of Dabney Carr and Martha Jefferson., Thomas
Jefferson's sister. Dabney Can died when Martha Jefferson Carr was still in her 20s and
1"""'\

i. ,:..,;........ v..,;
his body was event,ually interred at Monticello. Martha Jefferson Carr moved her family,
including Samuel, to Monticello. Samuel Cm (nephew) spent much ofms childhood at
Monticello. There are also oral traditions regarding Thomas Jefferson's visits to DunIora. I~
Until recent DNA tests proved otbervvise, it was also thought that Samuel Carr was the
father of Sally Hemings' chilchen.
It appears that Sam Cm built the standing 1828 brick mansion, which is currently
occupied by Angela Horan, a Dabncy/MoonlCarr descendent. Because Carr was Thomas
Jefferson's nephew it is highly probable that some of Jefferson's slaves may have worked
at, and eventually been moved to, Dunlora upon Jefferson's death in 1826. We are
cw::rently working to substantiate this theory.
Upon Samuel Can's (nephew) death in the late 1840s, the property 'WaS owned briefly by
his son George Carr who then sold Dunlora to Williatn S. Dabney in 1846. Oral tradition
is that Dunlora was invaded by Union troops sometime during the Civil Wax. Shortly
after the War, DunIora passed into the hands of the Moons, a wellMknown ScottviIle
family that William Dabney's daughter married into. The Dabney's continued to own
parcels ofland surrounding the Dunlora estate. Walter S. Dabney ovvned portions of the
original Dunlora estate as well as parcels in Free State and he inherited Belvedere Estate
located between Prospect I-IiIl and Dunlora.
Today, the core plantation landscape around the 1 828 Dunlora mansion is still intact.
Oral tradition suggests that slave houses" as well as 18th and 19th century dependencies
such as a smoke house, remain standing in this area. The original 1735 house was
standing as of 1960. The attached 1930 Basil Moon map of Dunlora suggests that other
outlying components of the plantation. such as a slave burial grotmd and tobacco bams
were probably destroyed by the Dunlora Development in the late 1980s. The Dunlora
Development should be considered a threat to this property and the Planning Commission
should be aware that this property would be jeopordized if it eVer comes up for sale.
,/'",,\
Free State is a component of the original 17305 Dunlora Estate and it contributes greatly
to the historic significance of this area. Free State is located on marginal land nonhwest
ofDunlora (see attached map) and is bisected today by Free State Road. John aammond
Moore in his 1976 book on Albemarle County history suggests that Free State may have
been a free black community as early as the Revolutionary Wat. While we have not been
able to trace the origins of Free State back to the last quarter of the 18th century, as we
have only conducted limited documentary research at this time, we are certain the much
more information will come to light once a concerted research effort is made with the
deeds and wills of the Carr family.
We do know, however, that the name Free State was used to identifY the area northwest
of Dunlora as early as 1845. It appears on deeds of sale for property from, and connected
to, the Dunlora Estate. The use of the name Free State is a strong indicator that free
blacks inhabited this area by at least the 1840s. It is important to note that the area south
of Cabell Hall at the 'University of Virginia was a free black community as early as 1828.
This area was known as "Canada," a clever and common reference to freedom, and it

While the core of the Dunlora Estate remains intact, the historic architectural and
archaeological components of Free State are harder to see. Walking the landscape of
Free State, it is difficult to identify the 18th -century landscape. This is why a Phase I
archaeological survey is critical. , There are some remnants of a 19th-century landscape,
though many more will be revealed through a Phase I survey. For example~ one feature
of the 19th ~century Free State landscape is a cemetery that contains both marked and
unmarked graves. Oral tradition indicates that it contains the bodies of those enslaved at
Dunlora and later free blacks that lived in the area. The one Free State family descended
from Dunlora slaves currently O\mS the cemetery.
Other features of the historic landscape are a substantial stone.lined cellar hole as well as
several. other cellar-like depressions scattered throughout Free State. More evident are a
few standi",.e: stone chimneystacks as well as mrn-of-the-nmeteenth-century houses. A
r""\, brother and sister who were born in Free State, and who have lived there off and on for
over 60 years, remember that slave dwelling were being used as housing well into the
1940s. There are some intriguing landscape features as well, such as terracing and a
large oak tree that is at least 200 years old that suggest the presence of house sites. Even
more evidence lies in the archaeological reSOurces of Free State.
The archaeological and architectural significance of the Surviving Dunlora Estate can't be
underestimated. The Dunlora Estate is directly connected with the ColUlty~ s founding
fathers: the Jeffersons, Cans, Dabncys, and Moons. Free State is perhaps even more
significant as it tells the story of an enslaved community turned into an early free black
conununity in Albemarle. In addition to most likely being a free community as early as
the 1840s, it was certainly one of the larger post-emancipation black communities in
Albemarle and Charlottesville. All too often these areas are dest1'Oyed before being
properly recorded and researched, thereby losing crucial information about an overlooked
conununity that helped build the County.
The rezoning of the property known as Tax Map 62 parcels 7, 12 and 13 should not take
place without a comprehensive Phase I archaeological survey_ An architectural survey of
historic structures as well as documentary research should also accompany this survey.
In addition, we strongly recommend that this Phase r survey be implemented on the entire

Belvedere Land Trust property and all Free State l,and extending to the Railroad tracts,
especially those parcels owned by Stonchaus DeveJopment. All of these areas contain.
significant historic resources that can't necessarily be seen when one walks the modem IC'\
landscape. Any road projects involving state and federal monies, such as the pending
VDOT proposal for a new road into Free State. will be subject to Section 106. The
expedient implementation of a Phase I survey across all these areas that once belonged to
Dunlora and Free State will only prevent costly and time consuming delays iri the future.

RE: ZMA 2000-008: Dunlora Phase 4B River Creek and SUB 2000-162: Dunlora
Phase 4B Preliminary Plat; Critical Slope Waiver Request
Dear Ms. Echols:
We have addressed all SPIN comments from the county regarding the above
mentioned plan, and have submitted a revised Preliminary Plat. Having
addressed other conditions for preliminary approval, we would like to
respectfully request a critical slope waiver for Lot 40 of the revised Preliminary Plat
dated January 17, 2001 .
The site proposed for development contains critical slopes (Le. slopes 25 percent or
greater). The critical slope areas are delineated on the
Preliminary Plat. All but one of the lots contain a building site exclusive of critical
slopes that meets the requirements of Section 4.2,1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The
critical slope provision of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 4.2) was "created to implement
the comprehensive plan by protecting and conserving steep hillsides together with
public drinking water supplies and flood plain areas and in recognition of increased
potential for soil erosion, sedimentation, water pollution and septic disposal problems
associated with the development of . . . critical slopes." River Creek at Dunlora Phase 4B
contains, essentia.lly, two large areas of contiguous critical slopes, most of which are in
proposed Open Space. The amount of critical slopes proposed to be altered is limited to
lot areas and the required Stormwater Management facility; consequently, the majority
of the steep hillsides will be protected and conserved. This project is not in a public
drinking water watershed; nor is it in a flood plain. Soil erosion, sedimentation and
water pollution will be addressed during final plan submittal in accordance with County
and State regulations and requirements, Septic disposal problems will not be an issue,
as public sewer is proposed for this project. This development is proposed with a
stormwater management basin to address runoff issues.
Other issues addressed in Section 4.2 include "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 septic system failure. . . " As
noted above, we do not expect the total disturbance of the critical slopes to be large in
relation to the total amount of critical slopes on the site; we are proposing a stormwater
management basin just downstream of the project, which will address runoff and
siltation issues (and the runoff issues on this project will be largely the result of the
addition of impervious area rather than the earth-moving activities); this project is not
visible to the general public, thus minimizing the aesthetic issues; and again, public
sewer is proposed.

Should the rezoning application be approved, the total gross density of this subdivision
will be approximately 1.5 dwelling units per acre, far short of the maximum of 4 units
per acre allowed under the R-4 zoning. A significant amount of open space is thus
preserved, mitigating the effect of any disturbed areas of critical slopes.
(""
We therefore believe it to be reasonable and desirable to obtain a variance for grading
these areas due to the expected minor disturbance of the existing critical slopes. The
alternative to a critical slope waiver is the elimination of one subdivision lot and
restricted development on several other lots.
We respectfully ask for your consideration of the critical slope waivers for this
development. We appreciate your time thus far in helping us to move the River Creek at
Dunlora Phase 4B project forward. We believe that this development will be an asset to
the co unity of C rlottesville and Albemarle County,

Request for Critical Slopes Waiver
DATE:
January 24,2001
*****
~i
At the Planning Commission meeting held January 9, 2001, several outstanding issues
prevented the Planning Commission from taking action on the rezoning, preliminary plat
and critical slopes waiver. Included in these issues were the need forarevis~cl
subdivision plat of development to mirror the proffers and revision of wording on the
proffers.
Revised Preh.'minary Plat - A revised preliminary plat dated January 17,2001 is
I
attached to this staffreport, It shows 15 lots to be created in the area shown previously
for 13 lots. Proposed density has increased from 1.54 units per acre to 1.78 units per
acre. A full-size copy of this report is Attachment C.
The plat also shows a road connection to Free?tate Road. According to the proffers, this
road would connect to Free State Road when the Rio-Free State Interconnector road is
built or the Free State bridge is upgraded to support two-way traffic from this area. The
stormwater facility shown on the plat is removed from the open space. The open space is
part of a system of drainage swales and steep slopes that are shown on the County's Open
Space Plan, The moving of the stormwater facility to this area is considered
advantageous to the preservation of the wooded ravine shown on the Open Space plan.
Recommendations for approval of the preliminary plat are at the end of this report.
1"""'\.
Revised Proffers - The proffers have been revised to better reflect the applicant's
commitment to the upgrade of Free State Road, . These proffers are contained in
Attachment B. The proffers contain a commitment for individual site plans for grading
1
3
of lots that will be reviewed by the Engineering Department. The new proffer is a
suitable alternative to an over lot grading plan recommended by the Engineering
Department.
/----...,
Critical Slopes Waiver - Engineering has noted the following information:
The previous preliminary plat included conceptual grading for lots 39 and 40,
These lots are now numbered 40 and 41. There also appear to be some unshaded
critical slope areas on lot 37. Please indicate these critical slopes and include the
conceptual grading for lots 37, 40, and 41 on the plat. [14-302T] We will
complete our critical slopes review once this information is submitted,
Archeological Findings
A letter from Fraser Neiman, Director of MO[lticello Archeology is provided as
Attachment A. This letter describes the historical significance of the Dunlora Plantation,
the Free State area, and the Belvedere plantation, In this letter is a recommendation for a
Phase 1 Archeological Survey on the property. Staff concurs that such a survey should
be done although, at this juncture, staff does not know what the next step would be if
remains are uncovered. Staff will offer guidance on this issue at the Planning
Commission meeting.
Recommendation
Staff believes that with the proffers made and with a proffer for a Phase 1 Archeological
Survey, the rezoning can be approved.
,~
Staff recommends that, with the follOWing changes, the preliminary plat can be approved:
1, Diversion of storm water at the rear of lots 39 - 41 should be avoided in order to
better preserve the open space. Instead, it is recommended that diversion take
place in the ditches along the Road A and be piped under the cul-de-sac, Pipes
should be used between lots 35 and 36 and between lots 38 and 39 to take flow
directly down to storm water facility,
2, An access road must be provided to the detention facility. Along with the
storm water facility, this access road should be in open space rather than on any
individual lots,
3, Site gradingfor Lot 36 should be modified to spread out theftll more evenly on the
surrounding lots rather than create 2: 1 slopes at the rear of Lot 36,
4, Approval of a critical slopes waiver for lots 37, 40 and 41,
Engineering needs more information for the critical slopes waiver but, with the proffer
relating to individual site plans, believes that most issues can be dealt with.
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat approval take place after Engineering has
reviewed the critical slopes information and can make a recommendation for approval to
the Planning Commission.

Principal Planner
County of Albemarle
Department of Planning and Community Development

Charlottesville, V A 22902-4596
January 24, 2001
Dear Ms. Echols:
We are writing to strongly urge that the Planning Commission require a Phase I
archaeological surVey be conducted prior to the rezoning of property described as Tax
Map #62 Parcels 7, 12, and 13. These parcels are located in the Rivanna Magisterial
District between Dunlora Drive and Free State Road. The parcels are owned by Donna
Havens and StoneHaus Development is requesting the rezoning prior to the purchase of
this land.
!""".
We oppose the rezoning application prior to full documentation of the historic resources
on Tax Map 62, parcels 7, 12, and 13. This preliminary plat is a portion of a historically
significant plantation that played an important role in the political, social, and economic
history of Albemarle County. Its value has been overlooked during the previous phases
of Stonehaus Development in the Dunlora area. We would lik~ to provide you v.ith a
brief history of the Dunlora and Free State areas. The following information is derived
from primary sources (deeds and wil.ls located in Albemarle County Court House), as
well as secondary sources, memoirs, and oral histories. Weare certain that continued
research would provide a fuller picture of the expanse and influence of Dunlora and Free
State in shaping the County.
Dunlora was originally part of a 5,OOO-acre plat acquired by Major Thomas Cm between
1730 and 1737. He built his main residence at Dunlora in 1735. During the mid-18th
century, the Dunlora Estate moved from n10mas Carr to his sonJohn Carr. John Carr
died in 1769 and John's son, Colonel Samuel Carr, inherited the property. Colonel
Samuel Carr did not bave any children and the Dunlora estate was passed to his nephew,
also named Smnuel Carr. There is some confusion as to when the Dunloraestate passed
to his nephew as Samuel Carr (nephew) was also a Colonel in the War of 1812. County
records call both men "Colonel Samuel Carr" &ld they do not always specify which
Samuel Carr was involved in land transactions. It is believed that Samuel Carr (n,ephew)
o'\\<ned the Dunlora Estate by the late 1820s.
Samuel Carr (nephew) was the son of Dabncy Carr and Martha Jefferson, Thomas
Jefferson~s sister. Dabney Carr died when Martha Jefferson Carr was still in her20s and

his body was eventually interred at Monticello. Martha Jefferson Carr moved her family,
including Samuel, to Monticello. Samuel Cm (nephew) spent much ofms childhood at
Monticello. There are also oral traditions regarding Thomas Jefferson's visits to Dunlora.
Until recent DNA tests proved otherwise, it was also thought that Samuel Carr was the
father of Sally Hemings' children.
It appears that Sam Carr built the standing 1828 brick mansion, which is currently
occupied by Angela Horan, a DabneylMoon/Carr descendent. Because Can was Thomas
Jefferson's nephe-w it is highly probable that some of Jefferson's slaves may have worked
at, and eventually been moved to? Dunlora upon Jefferson's death in 1826. We are
currently work;i.ng to substantiate this theory.
Upon Samuel Carr's (nephew) death in the late 1840s, the property was owned briefly by
his son George Carr who then sold Dunlora to William S. Dabney in 1846. Oral tradition
is that Dunlora was invaded by Union troops sometime during the Civil War. Shortly
after the Wax, Dunlorapassed into the hands of the Moons, a well-known. Scottville
family that William Dabney's daughter married into. The Dabney's continued to own
parcels of land surrounding the Dunlora estate. Walter S. Dabney oV\lned portions of the
original Dunlora estate as welt as parcels in Free State and he inherited Belvedere Estate
located between Prospect Hill and Dunlora.
Today, the core plantation landscape around the 1828 Dunlora mansion is still intact.
Oral tradition suggests that slave houses, as well as 18th and 19th century dependencies
such as a smoke house, remain standing in this area. The original 1735 house was
standing as of 1960. The attached 1930 Basil Moon map ofDunlora suggests that other
outlying components of the plantation, such as a slave burial ground and tobacco bams
were probably destroyed by the Dunlora Development in the late 1980s. The Dunlora
Development should be considered a threat to this property and the Planning Commission
should be a-ware that this property would be jeopordized if it ever comes up for sale.
Free State is a component of the origina11730s Dunlora Estate and it contributes greatly
to the historic significance of this area. Free State is located on marginal land northwest
ofDunlora (see attached map) and is bisected today by Free State Road. John Hammond
Moore in his 1976 book on Albemarle County history suggests that Free State may have
been a free black community as early as the Revolutionary War. While we have not been
able to trace the origins of Free State back to the last quarter of the 18th century, as we
have only conducted limited documentary research at this time, we are certain the much
more information will come to light once a concerted research effort is made with the
deeds and "Wills of the Can- family.
We do know, however, that the name Free State was used to identify the area northwest
of Dunlora as early as 1845. It appears on deeds of sale for property from, and connected
to, the Dunlora Estate. The use of the name Free State is a strong indicator that free
blacks inhabited this area by at least the 1840s. It is important to note that the area south
of Cabell Hall at the University of Virginia was a free black community as early as 1828.
This area was known as "Canada/' a clever and common reference to freedom, and it

Jefferson owned an enslaved woman named Critta who appears to have worked for
Jefferson fa.n:1ily members that lived off of Monticello. Mountain., ,.It is highly probable
that Samuel Carr purchased or received some of Jefferson's slavesupon Jefferson's
death. It may be the case that Critta ended up at Dunlora and in the Free State area., We
are currently looking into this possibility.
While the core of the DunlOta Estate remains intact, the historic architectural and
archaeological components of Free State are harder to see. Walking the landscape of
Free State, it is difficult to identify the lS1i1-century landscape. This is why a Phase I
archaeological survey is critiCal. There are some remnants of a 19th -century landscape.
though many more will be revealed through a Phase I survey. For example~ one feature
of the 19th-century Free State landscape is a cemetery that contains both marked and
unmarked graves. Oral tradition indicates that it contains the bO,dies of those enslaved at
Dunlora and later free blacks that lived in the area. The one Free State,:fatnily descended
from Dunlora slaves currently owns the cemetery. .
r"'I
Other features of the historic landscape are a substantial stone-lined cellar hole as well as
several other cellar-like depressions scattered throughout Free State. More evident are a
few standing stone chimneystacks as well as tum-of-the-nineteenth-centmy houses. A
brother and sister who were born in Free State, and who have lived there off and on for
over 60 years, remember that slave dwelling were being used as housing well into the
I 940s. There are some intriguing landscape features as well, such as terracing and a
large oak tree that is at least 200 years old that suggest the presence of house sites. Even
more evidence lies in the archaeological resources of Free State.
The archaeological and architectural significance of the surviving Dunlora Estate can't be
underestimated. The Dunlora Estate is directly connected with the County's founding
fathers: the Jeffersons, Carrs, Dabneys, and Moons. Free State is perhaps even more
significant as it tells the story of an enslaved community turned into an early free black
community in Albemarle. In addition to most likely being a free community as early as
the 1840s, it was certainly one of the lmger post-emancipation black communities in
Albemarle and Charlottc5'iille. All too often these areas are destroyed before being
properly recorded and researched, thereby losing crucial information about an overlooked
community that helped build the County.
TIle rezoning of the property known as Tax Map 62 parcels 7, 12 and 13 should not take
place without a comprehensive Phase I archaeological survey. An architectural survey of
historic structures as well as documentary research should also accompany this survey.
In addition, we strongly recommend that this Phase I survey be implemented on the entire
~

P.GS/05
Belvedere Land Trust property and all Free State land extending to the Railroad tracts,
especially those parcels owned by Stonehaus Development. All of these areas contain ~,
significant historic resources that can't necessarily be seen when one walks the modem
landscape. Any road projects involving state and federal monies. such as the pending
VDOT proposal for a new road into Free State, will be subject to Section 106. The
expedient implementation of a Phase I survey across all these areas that once belonged to
Dunlora and Free State will only prevent costly and time consuming delays in the future.
Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely Yours,

Reworked Dunlora 4B Proffers - January 24,2001 -- These are the proffers'we
expected to receive this morning January 25, 2001 signed with a minor change to
#6 to clarify who was to have responsibility for owning and maintaining the
emergency access. #4 was to have further clarification on the time period for
construction of the road. A follow-up set of proffers will be provided as soon as
we receive them.
1""\
1, A final plat of development for the lots on Tax Map 62, Parcel 12 shall reserve
land for dedication upon demand of the County to make a public road
connection from Tax Map 62, Parcel 12 to Free State Road.
2. The owner will construct a public road, in accordance with public road
standards in place at the time from TMP 62-12 to the point where state
maintenance begins on Free State Road.
3, This road will be constructed within 12 months following the commencement
of construction for the upgrading of Free State Bridge or the commencement
of construction of the Connector Road from Rio to Free State Road, as
determined by the Albemarle County Department of Engineering and Public
Works.
4. At the time of commencement of construction of either the upgraded bridge or
the Rio-Free State Connector road, the owner agrees to post a bond for the
construction of the road described above, If commencement of the upgrading
of Free State Bridge or the Connector Road has not begun within ten (10)
years of the acceptance of these proffers by the Albemarle County Board of
Supervisors, then the owner shall be relieved of the obligation to construct a
public road in this location.
5. Until such time as the road connection to Free State Road is built and
accepted into the public system, emergency access to Free State Road shall
be provided in the area shown on the plat for a public road. The emergency
access road shall meet Department of Engineering and Public Works and
specifications for emergency access road construction. It shall be
constructed with public improvements shown on the engineering plans
accompanying the final plat for development. A barrier consisting of a
breakaway fence, chain with a lock, or similar type of barrier shall be installed
to ensure that the connection is used for emergency access only. The type of
barrier to be used shall be approved by the Albemarle County Fire and
Rescue Division.
6, The land containing the emergency access connection shall be owned and
maintained by the owner of Tax Map 62, Parcel 12. In the event that the Rio-
Free State Connector is not built or the Free State Bridge is not upgraded in
accordance with Proffer 1 by February 14, 2007, then, the land containing the
emergency access connection may be conveyed by the owner to a
Homeowner's Association for ownership and maintenance.
7. Individual site plans will be provided for each lot in this subdivision with
requests for building permits rather than "agreements in lieu of plans". These
site plans shall demonstrate consistency with Albemarle County Erosion and
Sediment Control policies, driveways at less than 20% grade with 5% grade
at landings and garage, and provisions for adequate drainage,

ZMA 2000-008 Dunlora 4 B
SUB 2000-162 Rtver Creek at Dunlora Phase4B with Critical Slopes Waiver
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to rezone a parcel ofland adjacent to the
Dunlora Subdivision from RA to R-4. A preliminary plat was submitted for this property at
the beginning of the process that the applicant has indicated will not proffered as part of the
rezoning. A proffer is made concerning connectivity to Free State Road. A reduced copy of
the subdivision plat is provided as Attachment A. The proffers are provided in Attachment
B. These proffers are under review by the County Attorney's office at this time. They
represent the applicant's attempt to assure the County that future access will be provided to
Free State Road,
~
Petition for Rezollin2: Request to rezone 5.279 acres from RA to R-4. The property
described as Tax Map 62 Parcel 12 is located in the Rivanna Magisterial District between
Dunlora Drive and Free State Road approximately 1/2 mile from the intersection ofthe
railroad tracks and Free State Road. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as
Neighborhood Density Residential for 3 - 6 dwelling units per acre in Neighborhood 2. The
tax parcel map and vicinity map is provided as Attachments C & D, respectively. The
Preliminary Plat shows 13 lots on 8.44 acres, 'Additio~al parcels included are Tax Map 62
Parcel 7 and part of Parcel 13. These parcels are alre~dy zoned R-4, A critical slopes waiver
is requested for 2 lots,
Character of the Area: The area surrounding the property is a residential subdivision and
very low-density residential development. The land is very hilly with wooded areas and
streams.
Zonin2 and Subdivision History: The property, Tax Map 62 Parcel 12, was downzoned
from R-4 to RA in 1981 to allow a mobile home to be located by special use permit on the
lot. At that time staff noted that although the general area had been zoned for medium-
density residential development since 1968 no urban development had occurred. There were
several mobile homes in the area and there had been two other rezonings to permit nearby
mobile homes.
Specifics on the Proposal: The Preliminary Plat would extend the Dunlora Development
northward from Dunlora Phase 4A. The applicant has provided a Master Plan for
information on how single family development could take place in this ~ea. It is provided as
Attachment E. It sh,ould be noted that this Master Plan is for information only, Because the
land is not all owned by the applicant, it is not a commitment to abide by this particular plan;
rather, it is offered to show the likely way in which the overall property would be developed
if all tracts are ever owned by the applicant.
,.....,
lift- .cj
Applicant's Justification for the Request: The applicant has stated, "the rezoning of the
1
parcel would make it consistent with the zoning of the surrounding parcels. Currently, the
zoning ofRA does not allow for development as a part of the comprehensive plan."
i~
By-ri2ht Use of the Property: If developed by right, the RA -zoned property could
theoretically yield 2 dwelling units.
RECOMMENDATION: Staffhas reviewed the proposal for conformity with the
Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval subject to
modification of proffers.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan shows this area to be neighborhood density
of 3 - 6 dwelling units per acre in Neighborhood 2. Steep slopes and stream valleys are
shown on the County's Open Space Plan.
Staffhas analyzed this proposal for conformity with other sections of the Comprehensive
Plan, For informational purposes, and at the request of the Board of Supervisors, staff is also
assessing development proposals for relationships with the 12 principles of the Neighborhood
Model that were endorsed at the Board of Supervisors meeting on May 3, 2000, These
principles are identified below and highlighted within this section for context within the
Land Use Plan. The 12 principles of the Neighborhood Model are as follows:
. Pedestrian Orientation
. Neighborhood Friendly Streets and Paths
. Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks
. Parks and Open Space
. Neighborhood Centers
. Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale
. Relegated Parking
. Mixture of Uses
. Mixture of Housing Types and Affordability
. Redevelopment Rather than Abandonment
. Site Planning that Respects Terrain
. Clear Edges
,~.
Land Use Standards for Designated Development Areas (General Land Use Standards
pp. 20 - 22)
Development should be concentrated and clustered to protect environmental features.
(Parks and Open Space; Site Planning that Respects Terrain) Environmental features on
the property include locally important stream valleys and adjacent critical slopes as shown on
the County's Open Space Plan. A critical slopes waiver has been requested for this area for
two building lots, Open space is shown on the preliminary plat; however, as with other
sections in Dunlora, this open space is in the rear of the lots and along the stream.
Concern has been raised by some of the homeowners in the Dunlora development relative to
wooded areas and slope reconstruction. Attachment I was received on December 12, 2000
and is included for Planning Commission information and consideration.

/~
r"\
Limiting acce.sspoints should minimize the impact of development on major roads, The
property does not abut any major roads. It does, however, abut residential streets in the
Dunlora Subdivision. The Preliminary Plat shows that access points are minimized in this
development by providing for a single road connection and an emergency access connection
to Free State Road at this time.
A sense of community should be maximized by providing connections between developments;
such connections may provide for additional recreational facilities, increased open space
area, bicyclelpedestrian links, improved public transit, emergency access, and access to
schools, parks, and other public facilities. (Pedestrian Access and Interconnected Streets
and Transportation Networks) The property is accessed from Loring Run, which is in
Dunlora Phase 4A. An existing emergency access road through the property allows access to
Free State Road. Free State Road is limited for principal access because of weight
limitations on a one-lane bridge, For all practical purposes, there is a single entrance into the
site, At such time that the Rio-Free State Road Connector is built, Free State Road should be
able to handle additional traffic, Two alternatives would then exist for the development to be
connected to Free State Road. One way would be from this section of Dunlora into an
adjoining section of Dunlora that would be connected to Free State Road. The other would
be for the applicant to commit to upgrading the emergency access easement to a public road
and improve Free State Road to that point. The applicant has made provision for this
connectio;n through the accompanying proffers. Pedestrian access is shown on the
preliminary plat as an asphalt path running parallel to Loring Run and the proposed cul-de-
sac.
~
Underground utilities should be provided in new developments. Underground utilities are
required,
Features to prevent impact from impervious surfaces on water quality should be provided,
BMP's and stormwater facilities are shown on the preliminary plat. They are located in areas
shown on the County's Open Space Plan as important stream valleys to the Rivanna River.
The applicant has indicated that this is the only place to put stormwater facilities with the
design of the development. Trees will have to be removed in this area and a basin will need
to be constructed. These changes will be in keeping with the County's stormwater
regulations even though they impact the area shown as significant on the County's Open
Space Plan. The applicant has said that ifhe can rework the Dunlora 4A sediment basin, he
would prefer to use that facility rather than build a new one. He would have to ensure that he
can enlarge the existing facility since he does not know at this time if the surrounding
property is owned by the developer or is in the ownership of someone else.
Building orientation should be to public streets; parking areas do not need to be located
exclusively in front of buildings. (Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale; Relegated
Parking) The preliminary plat indicates that buildings will be oriented to the public street.
Existing houses in the Dunlora subdivisions use a conventional form with garages and
parking located in the front of the houses.
~

Where site illumination is proposed, down-directed and shielded lights should be used.
No information on lighting is provided; no lighting is generally provided with single-family
residential development. /~
Historic buildings should be adaptively reused. No historic buildings exist on the property,
The phasing of developments should match service and infrastructure availability and
capacity. Water and sewer service is available to serve this development.
Qverall development density should be as high a level as is practical. Proposed ranges in the
Land Use Plan are 3 - 6 dwellings per acre, If the land is developed as shown on the
preliminary plat, the density will be 1,5 dwelling units per acre. Density proposed is not
within the recommended range of development. The pattern of development, however, would
be consistent with the previously approved by-right development in Dunlora.
The integrity of adjacent residential areas should be maintained through use of buffering,
screening, and separation of adjacent non-residential uses. No information on uses is
proposed; however, the R-4 zoning district supports primarily single-family detached
structures. No screening would be needed between single-family uses.
Developments should be designed with an internal orientation to foster a sense of place and
avoid the image of continuous suburban sprawl. (Buildings and spaces of Human Scale)
The Preliminary Plat provided with this development continues a low-density residential
development form, similar to that approved by-right for previous phases of Dunlora.
Although not proffered, it is anticipated that the property will be developed as shown on the
preliminary plat.
~,
Provisions should be made for innovative design that reduces housing costs, (Affordability
with Dignity) No information is provided regarding design of the development in a way that
reduces housing costs. The applicant has indicated that the houses would not qualify as
"affordable housing", in a way that meets the County's definition.
Lot design and residential layout should be based on a rational use of land that reflects
topographic and other physical features rather than massive grading to eliminate or
counteract those features. (Site Planning that Respects Terrain) The lot design shown on
the preliminary plat continues a pattern of low-density single family homes on cul-de-sacs in
the area. Road grading, grading for sewer lines, and potential grading of building sites in
critical slopes areas affect the way in which the development impacts the topography, At this
time, the preliminary plat reflects road grading and grading for the two lots with critical
slopes, Staff believes that it would be appropriate to have an overlot grading plan submitted
with the final plan and erosion and sediment control plan to promote consistency of grades on
lots rather than have individual grading plans submitted for each lot.

Densities and Relationships to Other Land Uses; Residential Development Design, pp. 22-

r"\
In rezoning deliberations, the county should be mindful of the intent to encourage infill
development, contain most future growth within the designated Development Areas, and
avoid rural development pressure. Unless contrary to matters of public health and safety,
residential rezoning to the upper end of the Comprehensive Plan recommended land use
density ranges should be favored even if the density exceeds that of surrounding
developments. This development proposes low-density housing.
Maintenance of the integrity of residential areas should be accomplished using buffering,
screening, and physical separation of adjacent nonresidential uses. (Mixture of Uses) If
developed as shown on the preliminary plat, the uses will be single family residential. As
such, no buffering needs are identified.
For larger developments, layout and design should provide for varying building orientation
and setback, dwelling unit type, fQ(;ade treatment, and lot size to avoid repetitiveness. Open
space should be employed as a design feature to establish and define smaller neighborhood
areas within the larger developments. The PRDIPUD approach is particularly applicable
for larger developments. (Buildings and Spaces of Human Scale; Parks and Open Space)
The Dunlora development has been, to date, a conventional suburban development. The
proposed area for rezoning, if developed as shown on the preliminary plat, would be similar
to Dunlora already developed. Open space is left in the rears of the lots. Where not modified
by slope reconstruction, sewer installation, or stormwater facilities, open space is left wooded
at the rear of lots.
r"\
STAFF COMMENT
Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested
zonin~ district The proposed district is R-4 Residential. The intent of the R:4 Zoning
District is to provide for compact, medium density single family development; to permit a
variety of housing types, and to provide incentives for clustering of development and
provision of locational, environmental, and development amenities. The preliminary plat
shows low-density single family development, which could be single-family attached or
detached units. Clustering is not proposed, The development, as proposed on the plat, is in
keeping with the purpose and intent of the requested zoning district.
Public need and justification for the chan~e -- The rezoning would not provide for
additional density that meets the density recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. Good
zoning practice would suggest that similarly situated properties be zoned similarly. Staff
believes that R-4 zoning may be the most appropriate zoning for this property since the
surrounding properties are also zoned R-4 and are so similar.
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services
~
Transportation - Impacts on transportation networks relate to the future use of Free
State Road and the Rio-Free State Connector Road, At present, principal access is
provided via Loring Drive and Dunlora Drive and emergency access is available to Free
5
State Road. The additional lots shown on the Preliminary Plat should not, on their own,
overburden the existing system and the system being constructed. An adequate long-term
transportation system will have to rely on interconnections to the Rio-Free State
Connector and, ultimately, the Meadowcreek Parkway. The applicant has pmffered that
he will provide for the connection, per the illustration in Attachment F, or build a road
connection to the adjoining parcel, which would then be required at a future date to
connect to Free State. Staff believes that these assurances are appropriate to make the
ultimate connections to adjoining properties or continue improvement ofthe
transportation network in this area.
Water and Sewer - Water and sewer are available to serve the site.
Schools - Children from this development would attend Agnor Hurt Elementary School,
Burley Middle School, and Albemarle High School. A total of 3 children would be added
to the schools.
Stormwater Management - Stormwater management is shown on the preliminary plat
and is required with all developments. It would be better for County water quality if the
facilities were located outside ofthe area shown on the preliminary plat; however, at this
time, there is no alternate location provided by the applicant. The applicant has indicated
verbally, however, that he would prefer to use an existing facility in Dunlora 4A, rather
than create a new facility in Dunlora 4B because of the expense involved in earth moving
and tree removal. He has said that he will be working toward this end.
Fiscal impact to public facilities - A fiscal impact analysis is provided as Attachment G.
As with all residential rezonings, the fiscal impact is greater than the revenue generated to
pay for services.
,~
Anticipated impact on natural, cultural, and historic resources - No impacts are
anticipated on any County cultural or historic resources. Impacts to natural resources have
been identified above. The applicant has verbally committed to try and mitigate those
impacts by modifying an existing facility, The County's Engineering staffhas said that, with
the development proposed, no alternatives other than the use of the Dunlora 4A facility
appear feasible,
Critical Slopes Waiver - Attachment H contains the Engineering Department's analysis of
critical slopes. Engineering can recommend approval of the critical slopes waiver, Planning
staff has reviewed the request for conformity with the Open Space Plan and loss of aesthetic
resource. Planning staff believes that there will be minimal impact to the wooded area and
slopes with the proposed grading in this area. The area is at the upper reaches of the system
shown on the Open Space Plan and minor grading and tree removal should not affect the
remainder of the system, Of more impact is the placement of utilities and stormwater
facilities in the area shown on the County's Open Space Plan. No critical slopes waiver is
required for utilities and stormwater facilities. As stated earlier, the applicant has indicated
that he would like to avoid disturbing the area for stormwater facilities.
6
I~
r'1
Preliminary Plat Issues - With the critical slopes waiver and approval of the rezoning, the
preliminary plat meets the County's standards for preliminary plat approval with minor
changes, These minor changes include the provision of road names on the preliminary plat
and better describing the role of the emergency access easement to Free State Road. Ifthe
applicant chooses to provide the alternate road connection shown in Attachment F, a new
preliminary plat will need to be reviewed, primarily for utility and stormwater issues,
SUMMARY
11"""\,
The proposed rezoning of 5.2 acres is a small portion of a larger development known as
Dunlora. Ifthis development were a standalone development, staff would recommend a
more urban design. The development, however, is proposed to have the same name as the
previous Dunlora subdivisions, take access off of existing subdivision streets in Dunlora, and
connect through to Free State Road per previous Dunlora commitments for emergency
access. Staff has made numerous suggestions throughout this rezoning process for pedestrian
access, an urban street design, better grading, and more useable open space. As a result, the
applicant has provided pedestrian paths and explained that an extension of an existing rural
road pattern makes more sense than adding an urban street pattern in this location. The
applicant has been asked to proffer an overlot grading plan and said he would attempt to
remove stormwater facilities from the open space to make it a passive recreation area. At this
time, the applicant is not convinced that an overlot grading plan is necessary and he is not
willing to proffer it. Planning staff anticipates that between the time this staff report is
distributed and the Planning Commission meeting, additional conversation will be held
between the applicant and Engineering to work through this item.
Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request:
1, The rezoning would increase the density of the development over the existing zoning
from 2 lots to 13 lots,
2, Provision is made for interconn~ctioI1s to Free State Road at which time that the bridge is
improved or the Free State-Rio Connector is built.
3. Pedestrian access is provided along public roads.
4. The applicant is motivated to modify an existing siltation pond for a stormwater basin in
order to prevent building of an additional facility in open space,
Staff has identified the following factors, which are unfavorable to this request:
1. The development pattern continues a fairly conventional suburban development pattern.
2. An overlot grading plan should be provided to help provide continuity of grading
between lots.
3, Density is not in keeping with the recommended density range shown in the
Comprehensive Plan.
~
7
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning if an additional proffer is offered that an overlot ,~
grading plan will be provided with a final plat. Staff recommends approval of the
preliminary plat with minor changes and approval of the critical slopes waiver,

Pursuant to Section 33.3 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, the owner, or its duly authorized agent,
hereby voluntarily proffers the conditions listed below which shalli:>e applied to the property, if rezoned.
These conditions are proffered as a part of the requested rezoning and it is agreed that: (1) the rezoning itself
gives rise to the need for the conditions; and (2) such conditions have a reasonable relation to the rezoning
request.
1. A final plat of development for the lots on Tax Map 62, Parcel 12 shall reserve land for dedication upon
demand of the County to make a public road connection from Tax Map 62, Parcel 12 to Free State
Road(State Route 651),
2. The owner shall construct a public road, in accordance with public road standards in place at the time
from TMP 62-12 to the point where state maintenance begins on Free State Road. The cost and
responsibility for constructing this road shall not be transferred to a homeowner's association.
3. This road shall be constructed within 12 months following the commencement of construction for the
upgrading of Free State Bridge or the commencement of construction of the Connector Road from Rio to
n Free State Road, as determined by the Albemarle County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
4. At the time of commencement of construction of either the upgraded bridge or the Rio-Free State
Connector road, the owner shall post a bond for the construction of the road described above.
If commencement of the upgrading of Free State Bridge or the Connector Road has not begun within ten
(10) years of the acceptance of these proffers by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, then the
owner shall be relieved of the obligation to construct a public road in this location, but the resrvation for
dedication of the right-of-way shall remain in place.
5. Until such time as the road connection to Free State Road is built and accepted into the public system,
emergency access to Free State Road shall be provided in the area shown on the plat for a public road.
The emergency access road shall meet Department of Engineering and Public Works specifications for
emergency access road construction. It shall be constructed with public improvements shown on the
engineering plans accompanying the final plat for development. A barrier consisting of a breakaway
fence, chain with a lock, or similar type of barrier shall be installed to ensure that the connection is used
for emergency access only. The type of barrier to be used shall be approved by the Albemarle County
Fire and Rescue Division.
6. The barrier shall be placed at the time of commencement of road construction for the development for
Tax Map 62, Parcel 12.
7. A conceptual overJot grading plan, reviewed and approved by the Department of Engineering and Public
Works, is required prior to issuance of any permits for the site. All lots shall be graded in general
accordance with the approved plan or the latest revision to the plan approved by the Department of
Engineering and Public Works. The overJot grading plan shall show:
1. building pads which minimize grades steeper than 10% within 10 feet of the house;
r",
2.' driveways with no grades steeper than 16% and 20 foot sections graded, where feasible, no steeper
than 5% in front of garages or on parking spaces;
3. drainage patterns with sufficient detail that the Department of Engineering and Public Works can
verify concentrated flows are not directed across adjoining lots except in storm sewers and all flows
are adequately conveyed from lots to a storm drainage system approved by the County.
8. Prior to initiating any grading, the developer shall a Phase I archaeological survey done on Tax map 62
Parcel 12 and Parcel 7 and report findings, if any, to the Albemarle County Planning Department.,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Elaine Echols, Senior Planner
FROM:
Steven A. Allshouse, Fiscal Impact Planner ~
DATE:
November 21,2000
RE:
ZMA 00-008 (Dunlora) [Revised].
I used the Cost Revenue Impact Model (CRIM) to run four different scenarios involving this
property. As per your corrected statement, a maximum total of two units could be constructed, under
current zoning, while, under the proposal before the County, a total of 8 single family attached or 8
single family detached residential units would be built.
~,
The first two scenarios. assume that single family attached residences get built, all in year one. In the
first scenario, involving two units, CRIM estimates that, after build-out, this type and level of
development would result in the following net annual fiscal impact:
Fiscal Impact -- Current Zoning (2 SFA's)
Property Taxes $ 2,000
Other Revenues 2,000
Total Revenues $4,000
School Expendrtures ($3,000)
County Govt. Expenditures (1,000)
Total Expenditures ($4,000)
Net Annual Fiscal Impact ($0)
At first glance, this information seems to suggest that, under current zoning, development of the
property would render a revenue-neutral result. This conclusion is wrong, however, because of
CRIM's rounding errors, and the small number of units involved in this analysis. The actual net fiscal
I!""'"\ impact would be negative, but under $1,000.

ZMA 00-008

Page Two
In terms of the annual impact that the development of two SFA's would have on the County's capital
costs, CRIM estimates the following result:
CIP Impact -- Current Zoning (2 SFA's)
Schools CF Pay-As- You-Go
Schools CF Debt Service
Total Schools CIP Impact
County ~F Pay-As- You-Go
County CF Debt Service
Total Cty. Govt. CIP Impact
Net Anpual CIP Impact
($0)
($1,000)
($1,000)
($0)
($0)
($0)
($1,000)
Note that these CIP figures are included in the fiscal impact numbers listed on the previous page.
(The $1,000 in capital costs is part of the $4,000 in the estimated total annual expenditures resulting ,~
from the development of two SF A's). These CIP numbers are presented separately to highlight the
magnitude of the capital costs that would be associated with such development.
The second scenario that I ran involved the construction of eight SFA units on the property. I
assumed the development would be completed in a one year build-out. CRIM estimates that, after
completion, this project would have the following net annual fiscal impact:
Fiscal I~pact -- Proposed Development (8 SFA's)
Property Taxes $ 5,000
Other Revenues 10,000
Total R~venues $ 15,000
School Expenditures ($17,000)
County Govt. Expenditures ($4,000)
Total Expenditures ($21,000)
Net Annual Fiscal Impact ($6,000)

As for the impact of eight SF A's on the County of Albemarle's capital costs, CRIM estimated the
following outcome:
CIP Impact -- Proposed Development (8 SFA's)
Schools CF Pay-As-You-Go
Schools CF Debt Service
Total ScJtools CIP Impact
County CF Pay-As-You-Go
County CF Debt Service
Total Cty. Govt. CIP Impact
Net Annual CIP Impact
($0)
($6,000)
($6,000)
($0)
($0)
($0)
($6,000)
Note that, as was the case with the first scenario, these CIP numbers are included in the total annual
expenditures of $21,000 shown on the previous page, and are presented separately to illustrate the
relative magnitude of capital costs.
The numbers generated by the first two scenarios that I ran indicate that, if the County
approves the development of Dunlor;l as single family attached residences, the differential net
annual fiscal impact would be $6,00~ - $0 = $6,000. This number means that, annually, the
County would be $6,000 worse off approving the development of Dunlora than denying the
proposal. This statement assumes that, in the event of denial, the proposed development's
growth would not take place somepl;lce else in Albemarle County.
r"'\
The third and fourth scenarios that I rap. assume that 2 and 8 single family detached residences get
built respectively. The results of the CRIM analyses appear on the following pages. In the case of
two units, the net annual fiscal impact would be $0 (This number includes $1,000 in CIP costs. Once
again, because of rounding errors in CRIM, the net fiscal impact figure is misleading. The actual net
fiscal impact would be negative, but under $1,000). In the case of eight units, the net annual fiscal
impact would be negative $18,000 (including $16,000 in CIP costs). In summary, CRIM
estimates, that, if the County approves the development of Dunlora as single family detached
residences, the differential net annu;ll fiscal impact would be $18,000 - $0 = $18,000. This
number means that, annually, the County would be $18,000 worse off approving the
development of Dunlora than denying the proposal. This statement assumes that, in the event
of denial, the proposed development's growth would not take place someplace else in
Albemarle County.

Note: (1) Although my analysis sugge~ts that approval of the proposed development would result
in a greater net annual fiscal drain to the County than would denying the proposed development, this
fact alone. does not necessarily mean that the proposal should be denied, since the total mix of
development taking place in Albemarle County in any given year might generate a revenue..;neutral
outcome; (2) If Albemarle does not approve the proposal, the growth that is assumed to be associated
with this development would likely take place somewhere else in the County; and (3) When deciding
whether or not to approve a proposed eJevelopment, Albemarle might wish to take into consideration
a number of issues other than just the project's fiscal impact. These issues would include, but would
not necessarily be limited to, affordable housing, transportation impacts, and environmental well-
being.

approved
The ZMA plan received today has been reviewed. All of our previous required comments have been
satisfactorily addressed. The Engineering Department recommends approval of the ZMA, but we leave
the following comment as a recommendation.
1. We strongly recommend an over-lot grading plan for this phase, We feel this is necessary to assess
impacts of the proposed grading on the existing critical slopes and better depict the finished grades in this
phase.
At the applicant's request, we have also reviewed the ZMA plan as a preliminary plat. A revised
preliminary plat including road grading and conceptual grading for lots 39 and 40 was received today.
The Engineering Department recommends approval of the preliminary plat. A critical slopes waiver is
necessary as well. Please see our critical slope waiver comments below.
,..
The critical slope waiver request received on October 30,2000 has been reviewed. Based on the
preliminary plat received December 11, 2000, the proposed subdivision has a total area of 8.44 acres.
This includes an approximate critical slope area of 1.7 acres, which is about 20% of the site.
Approximately 5.8% (0.49 acres) of critical slope area on the subject property is located on proposed lots
and will be disturbed during construction, The largest area of disturbed critical slopes is located on lots
39 and 40. As stated in Section 18-4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, the following concerns must be
addressed before any critical slope waiver is granted,
,~
1. "movement of soil and rock"
Proper slope construction, control of drainage, and vegetative stabilization will prevent any movement of
soil. The preliminary plat indicates proposed slopes of approximately 5% along lots 32-35. This grading
appears to be associated with the road construction. Conceptual grading information is also shown for
lots 39 and 40. This grading is conceptual because the applicant has stated that he does not know what
size and type of homes will be built on these lots.
2, "excessive storm water runoff'
A stormwater management plan must be submitted with the final plans for approval. The preliminary plat
shows a stormwater retention pond along the creek. This pond will provide for both detention and water
quality. Preliminary routing computations have been submitted for the pond. From these computations
and Engineering's preliminary analysis, it appears the pond will detain runoff from both the 2-year and 10-
year storms. The pond must also pass the 100-year storm safely.
The proposed pond will affect about 0.24 acre of critical slopes. The pond is located downstream of
much of the proposed impervious areas. Based on the preliminary sizing shown on the plat and the
number and size of the lots proposed, the Engineering Department believes that the pond has no
reasonable alternative location or alignment in this proposed subdivision that will substantially reduce the
amount of disturbed critical slopes. [18-4.2.2]
3. "siltation"
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control during construction that meets state
erosion control standards, Proposed stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability.
4. "loss of aesthetic resource"
Some aesthetic loss is expected from tree removal. This area is located to the rear of both the existing

5. "septic effluent"
This is not a concern, as this site will be served by public water and sewer.
Based on the review above, the Engineering Department recommends approval of the critical slopes
waiver,
Please call me if you have any questions or comments.
The following items must be submitted with the final plat for review by the Engineering Department.
A. An erosion control plan, narrative and computations. [14-311, 17-203]
B. A completed application and fee for erosion control and stormwater management. [17-203, 17-303]
C. A stormwater managementlBMP plan and computations. Computations must include water quality,
and detention routings for the 2yr and 10yr storms, [17-304]
D. A completed stormwater management facilities maintenance agreement and fee, [17-323]
E, Road plans, pavement design sheets, and drainage computations. [14-512,14-304, Policy]
All improvements must be built or bonded prior to Engineering Department recommending approval of
final plats. VDOT approval will be required for public road plans and any other right-of-way improvements.

Subject:
ZMA 00-008 Dunlora Phase 4B (Rivercreek) - Tax Map 62, Parcel 12
Dear Ms, Echols,
The Planning Commission will shortly consider the further expansion of the Dunlora subdivision
by StoneHaus Development Corporation, LLC, and Robert Hauser Homes, Inc. As six-year
residents of Dun lor a we are becoming increasingly concerned with the developer's lack to
deliver what he promised when he appeared before your commission.
Case-in-point is the Dunlora Phase 3A (Rivercrest) development. Even to the most casual
observer, it is obvious that significant changes were made to the plats as initially proposed to the
Planning Commission in 1998 (Rev, Sept 21, 1998 attached) and as actually developed
(September 1999 attached), Moreover, the developer made extensive promises to the community
in 1998 in a Natural Areas & Tree Preservation program (copy attached) which have not been
met. Instead, the Rivercrest area was "clear cut," with the exception of steep slopes, which
apparently were not economic to cut. Further, we are concerned that the many steep slopes
(25 percent or greater), when disturbed by grading, contribute to erosion, The developer seeds
these slopes with rye grasses, which soon die, leaving unsightly barren areas, These slopes are
difficult, if not impossible, and costly to landscape by the new homeowners and more often than
not fall into neglect.
,..--.
As you consider further development requests in the Dunlora area, at least hold the developer to
what he has promised, Even though Virginia's antiquated 'by right' land use statutes may indeed
allow the developer excessive liberties with how he chooses to develop his land, keep in mind
that those of us who are homeowners in this subdivision have to live with a developer's
inconsiderate - sometimes reckless - development long after he has sold his houses and
moved on,
Thank you for giving our concerns your thoughtful consideration,
(S-t~erelY, \' '

Natura'l Areas &
Tree Preservation
Nature is an important part of the character and appeal of Dunlora. Devel-
opment efforts for RiverCrest, the newest neighborhood at Dunlora, will
set new standards for the preservation of open space and significant trees.
In the first phase of Rivercrest, almost 38 percent of the land will be pre-
served in perpetuity as open space. This far exceeds Albemarle County's
requirements for open space preservation in a cluster development. Land,
trees and stream valleys within the natural areas will not be disturbed dur-
ing the construction process except as needed to provide effective erosion
and storm water control.
Tree preservation efforts will be extensive in Rivercrest. In addition to
saving trees within the natural areas, StoneHaus development has focused
tree saving efforts in three development areas:
~ First is along Dunlora Drive where the developer plans to maintain a
wooded buffer on all lots and on the common area between Dunlora
Drive and Dabney Lane. Within the buffer areas, efforts will be made to
preserve all significant trees which contribute to the buffer.
~ The second area is on lots 36 and 37 where there are towering oaks
and beech trees which are among the largest and most beautiful that
we have seen anywhere in Albemare County. The roadway was moved
in the final plan to help keep it outside of the canopy of these trees.
~ The third area which will receive special attention is a pocket park
which is being created to the left of Road "A" just past the current en-
trance to the Rivercrest property. Existing specimen trees will be pre-
served and mature fruit trees will be transplanted from adjacent devel-
oped areas to the park. The association will hopefully maintain the
fruit trees and park area for the benefit of all the residents of Dunlora.
Within individual lots, every effort will be made to save mature trees where
possible. In areas which must be cut, replanting will occur after construc-
tion. Attention to preservation of trees and natural areas will help make
Rivercrest a beautiful addition to the Dunlora community. For more infor-
mation about Rivercrest, contact Rick Spigone at 973-8333.

Dear Mr, Bryan:
At its meeting on February 14, 200 I, the Board of Supervisors discussed VDOT's
recommendations for a signal at the intersection of Route 250 and Broomley Road (Route 677) and
install;:ttion of a wildlife warning highway reflector system. The Board expressed support for the
installation of a traffic signal as recommended. It was the consensus of the Board that VDOT wait until
after some data has been collected before installing a wildlife warning highway reflector system.
The Board also adopted the attached resolution which provides comments and/or
recommendations regarding the Route 29 South Corridor Study.

Accident Data SummarY:
Although the total number of accidents does not appear intimidating, the accident rate in B of the
last 10 years has been above the Districtwide average for that type of intersection. Such is the
reason the Oistrict has been attemr:Jting to secure Improvement funding (See Accident Data
Summary breakdown - Attachment).

Rt. 250 West Task Force recommendations on two road

REVIEWED BY:

BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors appointed the Route 250 West Task Force to make recommendations to the Board of
Supervisors with regard to all improvements (including additional traffic signals) on the Route 250 West Corridor.
The Task Force has met several times since the Fall 2000 to review improvements along the Route 250 West
Corridor.
DISCUSSION:
VDOT recently informed the Task Force concerning two improvements proposed along the corridor. The Task
Force has prepared their recommendation/comments for a signal at the intersection of Route 250 and Broomley
Road (Rt. 677) and the installation of the wildlife warning highway reflector system.
Traffic Signal at Rt. 250 and Broomlev (Flordon)
VDOT is proposing to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Rt. 250 and Broomley Road. VDOT has stated
that this intersection meets the warrants for the installation of traffic signal. They initially informed the County of
this traffic signal in December 2000, but agreed to postpone the installation of it until the Task Force had an
opportunity to review it. The Task Force met on January 30, 2001. VDOT had scheduled to start the installation
beginning February 12, 2001, but agreed to consider delaying installation until the Board of Supervisor has acted
on the Task Force recommendations.
The Task Force does not support the installation of a traffic signal at this time. The Task Force believes VDOT
should explore other options such as reducing speed. The Task Force came to this conclusion based on the
following reasons:
· According to VDOT information, this traffic signal only meets four of eleven traffic signal warrants. The traffic
signal manual states that "satisfaction of a warrant or warrants is not in itself justification for a signal." The
Task Force thinks more justification is needed for this traffic signal.
· The Task Force is very familiar with this corridor and feels that this traffic signal will "seriously disrupt
progressive traffic flow" on Route 250 West (quote from VDOT's Traffic Signal Warrant information),
· The Task Force will talk with the residents of Flordon to get their views on the 250/677 intersection and the
need for this traffic signal.

AGENDA TITLE: Route 250 West Task Force Recommendations
DATE: February 14, 2001
Page 2 of 2
· The Task Force requests that VDOT give them more time (3-6 months) to review future traffic signal requests
along the corridor.
· The Task Force recommends that the Board of Supervisors request VDOT to delay installation of this traffic
signals until the concerns above have been addressed.
Wildlife Warning Highwav Reflector Svstem
The wildlife reflector system is a system of staggered reflective devices mounted on posts at average headlight
height along each side of the road, directing low intensity reflected light from vehicle headlights
across the road and into the roadside areas where deer cross. The unnatural and apparently moving reflected
light patterns are designed to deter deer from crossing. VDOT recommended that this system be installed on Rt.
250 between Morgantown Road and Rt. 240.
The Task Force does not support the installation the wildlife warning highway reflector system on Route 250 west
at this time.
· The Task Force requests information on the effectiveness of this system from VDOT based on use at other
locations throughout the state,
RECOMMENDATION:
The Task Force recommendations are provided to the Board of Supervisors as the Board has requested.
