RE: ZMA201800016 Chesterfield Landing Phase III
Dear Mr. Shimp:
Staff has reviewed your initial submittal for the zoning map amendment, ZMA201800016 3223 Chesterfield Landing
Phase III. We have a number of questions and comments which we believe should be resolved before this application
moves forward to a public hearing. We would be glad to meet with you to discuss these issues.
Review comments are provided below, organized by Department, Division, or agency. Our comments are provided below:
Planning — General Application Comments
1. State the proposed impacts to public facilities and public infrastructure, including schools, and police and fire
service. Please provide information on how these impacts will be addressed through the application.
2. State whether the existing homes will be demolished or retained. State whether Longmont Drive is a public or
private street, and state what will happen to this right of way if the rezoning is approved and the site is developed
according to the Application Plan. (Will the right of way be vacated? Will the existing entrance onto Crozet
Avenue be closed?)
3. State what the intent is for the proposed open space areas in terms of permitted uses, land disturbance and grading
activities, etc. Will these be privately owned or dedicated to public use? Does the applicant propose to preserve
or conserve these areas (i.e. no land disturbance or platting of residential uses)?
4. The "Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan" section references that the proposed density based on 23 units
"will be consistent with the density regulations for the R-15 Zoning District." However, the application states that
the requested district is R-4. Please explain.
a. The narrative and Application Plan should clearly state whether the proposal is for a Standard Level
Cluster Development or a Bonus Level Cluster Development, as specified by Section 18-15.3 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
5. State whether the proposed streets will be public or private in the impacts to public facilities and public
infrastructure section.
a. Please see the attached comment letter from VDOT. The new roads must be public streets.
6. The narrative states that no written proffer statement is provided at this time. Is the intent to proffer any portion
of this application?
a. Pending applicant response to this comment, at least one more review may be required prior to a public
hearing to allow staff to evaluate the draft proffers. Please be aware that Virginia Code § 15.2-2303.4.
Provisions applicable to certain conditional rezoning proffers limits the types of onsite and offsite
proffers that localities can accept as part of residential rezonings.
7. The application is not consistent with the Crozet Master Plan's recommendations for preserving and mitigating
impacts to Parks & Green Systems (Chapter 6) and other natural systems.
a. Areas labeled as `Environmental Features" on the Parks and Green Systems Plan of the Master Plan are
"intended for environmental preservation."
b. Areas labeled as "Other Open Space" on the Parks and Green Systems Plan of the Master Plan are
"designation represents properties that are to be preserved in the future that are not part of environmental
systems."
8. The application is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan methodology for calculating the proposed density
of new residential developments. See the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 8, Objective 8,
Strategy 8c for more information.
a. When evaluating ZMAs, the Comprehensive Plan calls for calculating proposed density based on the
acreage of land lying outside of green systems within a development. Green systems include areas
designated as "Greenspace" future land use by the Crozet Master Plan Future Land Use Plan, in addition
to "Environmental Features" and "Other Open Space" as shown on the Parks & Green Systems Plan. The
Application Plan shows development within some of these features, which are intended to be preserved
(see pages 42-45 of Chapter 6 of the Crozet Master Plan).
b. The application does not demonstrate that the project will comply with the net residential density required
by the Comprehensive Plan. To calculate these figures in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan
strategies, the table should state the acreage of Greenspace on both parcels. Additionally, the acreages of
100-year floodplain/Flood Hazard Overlay, Preserved Steep Slopes, wetlands, and WPO stream buffers
lying outside of the Greenspace designation will need to be listed. The acreage of Greenspace land use,
Environmental Features, and Other Open Space areas should be subtracted from the site acreage before
calculating the proposed net density.
c. Please state how the application will preserve the Environmental Features and Other Open Space areas
shown on the Parks and Green Systems Plan.
d. See comments from the Natural Resources Manager, David Hannah, for additional information.
Strategy ac: Review zoning standards for caiculating density, and, if necessary, amend the Zoning
Ordinance to better align density allowances with the Comprehensive Plan.
Density is calculated differently in the Comprehensive Plan thi rn in the Zoning Ordinance and the different
methodologies for calculating density hove creared some confusion on the part of the public.
The Comprehensive Plan is a document that provides guidance, while the Zoning Ordinance contains legal
requirements for land development.
With the Comprehensive Plan, when a property owner asks about the potential number of dwelling units
that a parcel might yield, density is calculated by measuring the area with the land use designation other
than Parks and Green Systems, For example, if a 10-ocre property shows 8 acres for Neighborhood
Density (3 - d units per acre) and 2 acres for Parks and Green Systems, available density would be
calculated on 8 acres and range frorn 24 to 48 units.

Application Plan
9. Please provide an updated Application Plan that contains the Conceptual Grading and Stormwater exhibit as a
separate sheet listed in the index.
10. Remove the redacted black -out boxes over the call -out labels on the Conceptual Grading and Stormwater exhibit.
Please explain what the leaders are pointing to.
11. Please revise Sheets 2, 3 and 4 of the Application Plan, and the Conceptual Stormwater and Grading Exhibit so
that the location and acreages of the following items are identified with labels stating the acreage of each feature:
a. "Environmental Features" per the Crozet Parks and Green Systems Plan.
b. "Other Open Space" areas per the Crozet parks and Green Systems Plan.
c. Any areas of Managed and Preserved Steep Slopes, WPO stream buffers, 100-year floodplain/Flood
Hazard Overlay District, or wetlands that lie outside of the Greenspace future land use, Environmental
Features, and Other Open Space boundaries.
d. State the sources a note on each sheet.
12. Based on previous comments regarding the Comprehensive Plan's objectives for calculating net density and
developable land outside of geenspace and green systems, it appears that there may not be adequate land
available for 23 new lots. Sheet 4 states that 4.16 acres is proposed as "Development Area" across both parcels.
An orange area (presumed to be the development area where residential lots will be located) is shown encroaching
into the Greenspace and Preserved Steep Slopes on both TMPS 56-37 and 56-37A. This is not consistent with the
Crozet Master Plan and Comprehensive Plan recommendations for preserving natural systems. Please review
previous comments related to mitigating impacts to `Environmental Features" and "Other Open Space" in the
Parks and Green Systems Plan.
a. Please provide an analysis demonstrating that it is possible to create 23 new lots and streets outside of the
Greenspace future land use, Environmental Features, Other Open Space Areas, and green systems that lie
outside of those boundaries.
b. Provide a legend explaining the colors and symbology types used on the Application Plan.
a. See comments #2a and #2b from the Zoning division regarding revisions to the Application Plan that are
necessary to demonstrate that the 23 new lots can be created.
b. The Application Plan could be revised to provide a "lot exhibit" that shows conceptual parcel boundaries
for the 23 proposed lots.
13. Per Section 18-4.7 (c)(3) of the Zoning Ordinance, not more than eighty (80) percent of the minimum required
open space shall consist of the following: (i) (i) land located within the one -hundred year flood plain; (ii) land
subject to occasional, common or frequent flooding as defined in Table 16 Soil and Water Features of the United
States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Albemarle County, Virginia, August,
1985; (iii) critical or preserved slopes; and (iv) land devoted to stormwater management facilities or flood control
devices, except where the facility or feature is incorporated into a permanent pond, lake or other water feature
deemed by the agent to constitute a desirable open space amenity.
a. See Zoning division comments #3a-3e regarding additional information needed to verify that the
minimum amount of open space can be provided within the project. The Application Plan appears to
indicate that all proposed open space will be within the Greenspace area which is composed entirely of
Preserved Steep Slopes, 100-yeard floodplain, and WPO stream buffers. A minimum of 20% of usable
land outside of those features must be provided to meet the requirements of Section 18-4.7.
b. The application does not address how access to the proposed open space will be provided. See Zoning
comment #3d for additional information.
14. Please revise the Conceptual Stormwater and Grading Exhibit so that the lot and street layout matches the revised
Sheet 4. In order to be consistent with the Crozet Master Plan, the development area within the project
(residential lots and streets) should not encroach into Greenspace future land use, Environmental Features, Other
Open Space, or other environmental features lying outside of those three areas.
15. Add a table similar to the one provided in the project narrative which states the Comprehensive Plan
recommended residential density, the proposed gross residential density, and the proposed net residential Density.
16. Indicate whether the internal road network will be public or private streets.
17. VDOT has stated that the new roads must be public streets. The Conceptual Stormwater and Grading Plan does
not appear to demonstrate compliance with the Subdivision Ordinance street design standards. New public streets
must have curb and gutter, a 6' wide planting strip, and a sidewalk behind the planting strip within the right of
way. The streets do not show a 6' wide planting strip currently.
a. Please show a proposed cross-section exhibit to the Application Plan that is consistent with the
subdivision design standards will further strengthen the application.
18. Indicate whether proposed open space areas will be privately owned or dedicated to public use.
19. The Crozet Master Plan's Parks and Green Systems Plan calls for a "Major Greenway or Trail" within the
proposed development adjacent to Lickinghole Creek. The Application Plan makes no mention of this and does
not show a proposed greenway or walking trail as recommended. Please provide more information on how the
application is consistent with the Master Plan recommendations.
Other Information
20. Please provide a turn lane warrant analysis that identifies whether new turn lanes are necessary along Crozet
Avenue.
21. The properties are within the following school boundaries: Brownsville Elementary, Henley Middle School, and
Western Albemarle High School. Currently, Brownsville Elementary School is over capacity based on student
enrollment figures provided by the Albemarle County Public Schools. Henley Middle School and Western
Albemarle High school are currently under capacity, but enrollment is project to exceed capacity by the
2024/2025 and 2022/2023 academic years, respectively.
a. Please provide information on the projected enrollment increase at all three school levels that would be
generated by this development and how capacity conflicts will be addressed.
Comprehensive Plan
Initial comments on how your proposal generally relates to the Comprehensive Plan are provided below. Comments on
conformity with the Comprehensive Plan are provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as part of
the staff report.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies approximately 4.2 acres of Tax Map Parcels (TMP) 05600-00-00-037AO and 05600-
00-00-03700 as Neighborhood Density Residential land use. The NDR classification calls for primary uses to consist of
single family detached and single family attached residential uses at gross densities between 3-6 dwelling units/acre.
Permitted non-residential uses include institutional uses, such as places of worship, public and private schools, and early
childhood education centers (daycare centers and preschools).
The remaining acreage of Tax Map Parcels (TMP) 05600-00-00-037AO and 05600-00-00-03700 is identified as
Greenspace future land use by the Crozet Master Plan. This designation identifies land for existing and proposed public
parks, open space, and greenways. Greenspace also identifies existing sensitive environmental features including stream
buffers, flood plains, and adjacent slopes. Typically, only passive recreation and greenway trails will occur in the sensitive
environmental areas, while active recreation is planned for other areas. The Parks & Green Systems Plan contained in
Chapter 6 of the Crozet Master Plan identifies a "Major Greenway or Trail" along the eastern property boundaries
adjacent to Licknghole Creek. The application makes no mention of this and does not state how the proposal will be
consistent with trail/greenway recommendations of Crozet Master Plan Parks & Green Systems chapter.
As mentioned in earlier comments, please explain how the application is consistent with the Crozet Master Plan Parks &
Green Systems Plan recommendations for preserving `Environmental Features" and "Other Open Space" areas are
intended for environmental preservation (Chapter 6, page 42 of the Crozet Master Plan).
The proposed rezoning from R-1 Residential to an R-4 Residential cluster development is partially consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan land use recommendations. The R-4 district will allow for residential development that is consistent
with the recommended density specified by the NDR land use classification. However, the application currently shows
future lots and streets encroaching into the Greenspace area, which is inconsistent with that designation. Additionally, the
application makes no mention of how the development will protect the extensive environmental features on -site.
Neighborhood Model
Projects located within the Development Areas are typically reviewed for consistency with each of the Neighborhood
Model Principles found in the Comprehensive Plan. Comments are provided below on relevant aspects of the
Neighborhood Model. More detailed comments may be provided after more detailed plans are provided.
Pedestrian Orientation
This principle is partially met. The Application Plan appears to show sidewalk
installation along all internal streets. The application does not fully comply with the
County Subdivision Ordinance standards for public/private street design.
The application does not meet the Crozet Master Plan recommendation for a walking
trail adjacent to Lickinghole Creek as identified by the Parks & Green Systems Plan in
Chapter 6 of the Crozet Master Plan.
Mixture of Uses
This principle is not applicable to the request. The Crozet Master Plan clearly states that
commercial uses are not recommended in this section of Crozet, and that new
development on parcels with the NDR classification should contain single family
attached and/or detached residential uses. The narrative seems to imply that the project
will be developed as new single family detached lots which is consistent with the
recommended uses called for in the Neighborhood Density Residential classification of
the Crozet Master Plan. Please verify.
Neighborhood Centers
This principle is not met. Open space areas where residents can congregate in a
communal space can be considered Neighborhood Centers in strictly residential
developments. The application does not clearly indicate that such an area is proposed.
Mixture of Housing Types
This principle is not met. The narrative states that "23 single family units" are
and Affordability
proposed. However, the application does not explain whether these will be a mixture of
housing types (attached, detached, etc.). Please verify.
Relegated Parking
This principle is not applicable to the request.
Interconnected Streets and
This principle is partially met. The neighborhood will be served by a new street that
Transportation Networks
connects to Oxbow Drive in Chesterfield Landing. The street appears to have sidewalks
on some sheets of the Application Plan. Please verify whether sidewalks will be
provided and whether the streets will be public or private.
The Application Plan does not demonstrate consistency with the Parks and Green
Systems Plan recommendations for a "Major Greenway or Trail" area within the
development.
Multimodal Transportation
This principle is partially met. The Application Plan shows sidewalks along new
Opportunities
internal streets. The application does not show a 6' planting strip between the curb and
gutter and sidewalk along the internal streets on the Application Plan.
Parks, Recreational
This principle is partially met. The Application Plan appears to indicate that a large area
Amenities, and Open Space
of land will remain undeveloped at the northern end of the development between new
residential lots and Lickinghole Creek.
However, it is unclear if the proposed open space contains enough usable land for
recreational open space required for cluster developments outside of sensitive
enrinmental features. The required 25% minimum overall open space must contain at
least 20% of usable land that is not part of sensitive environmental features like
floodplain, WPO buffers, and steep slopes. See Zoning and Planning comments for
necessary revisions to the Application Plan.
Additionally, the application does not demonstrate consistency with the Crozet Master
Plan's Parks and Green Systems Plan recommendation for a "Major Greenway or Trail"
within the development.
The Parks and Green Systems Plan shows a large area of "Environmental Features" and
"Other Open Space" within the proposed development. Environmental Features are
"areas intended for environmental preservation (Chapter 6, page 42 of the Crozet
Master Plan). "Other Open Space" areas represent land that is "to be preserved in the
future that are not part of environmental systems" (Chapter 6, page 44 of the Crozet
Master Plan). Please provide additional information on how this application will be
consistent with the Master Plan's recommendation related to greenways and trails, and
preservation of environmental features.
Buildings and Spaces of
This principle is partially met. The internal street and vehicular travel way network
Human Scale
proposes sidewalks in front of the buildings. Please indicate whether a landscaping strip
will be provided between the curb and gutter and sidewalks along the new streets. This
will create a sense of enclosure within the neighborhood and make the development a
welcoming environment for pedestrians.
Redevelopment
This principle is met. The properties currently contain three detached single-family
residential structures. The rezoning request will allow for redevelopment of the parcel at
a higher density than the current use, in accordance with the Neighborhood Density
Residential land use classification recommended by the Crozet Master Plan.
Respecting Terrain and
This principle is not met. The property contains Managed Steep Slopes and Preserved
Careful Grading and Re-
Steep Slopes. These areas are labeled as "Environmental Features" and "Other Open
grading of Terrain
Space" on the Crozet Master Plan's Parks and Green Systems Plan. Environmental
Feature areas are "intended for environmental preservation" (Chapter 6, page 42 of the
Crozet Master Plan). The Conceptual Stormwater and Grading Exhibit does not clearly
demonstrate that grading activities will not encroach into the Preserved Steep Slopes
lying outside of the Greenspace land use area. How does the applicant intend to comply
with the Master Plan recommendations for these areas/features?
Pursuant to Section 18-30.7.4, Managed Steep Slopes may be disturbed as long as the
design standards for disturbances outlined in Section 18-30.7.5 are followed.
The application also does not clearly indicate how the development will avoid
disturbances and mitigate impacts to the on -site WPO stream buffers and 100-year
floodplain areas.
Clear Boundaries Between
This principle is not applicable to the request. The subject property is located within the
the Development Areas and
Crozet Development Area. No improvements or changes in use near any boundaries
the Rural Area
with the Rural Area are proposed.
Proffers
The application narrative states that no proffers are proposed as part of the rezoning. Without a written proffer statement,
the application will not proffer any aspect of the proposal as currently shown. Please verify whether any onsite or offsite
proffers are proposed as part of this application. Proffered elements should be enumerated in a written proffer statement.

Date: 1 /25/2019
Subject: Preliminary Zoning Review Comments for Zoning Map Amendment
ZMA201800016 Chesterfield Landing Phase III TMP 56-37, and 37A
The following comments are provided as input from the Zoning Division regarding the above
Zoning Map Amendment.
1. Proposal - ZMA from R-1 zoning to R-4 zoning district
a. Rezoning 10.47 acres in the aggregate (8.86 acres TMP 56-37 and 1.61 acres
TMP 56-37A) from R-1 to R-4 with cluster provisions to allow for 23 single family
detached units.
b. Detached single family houses are a by right use in the R-4 zoning district
c. Setbacks are established in Section 4.19 "Non-Infill Setbacks"
2. Application plan
a. The application plan shows road and lot layouts. The applicant appears to be
aware of the preserved slopes and are maintaining a majority of those slopes
within the green space boundary. However, staff recommends the applicant
shows how all 23 new lots will be located entirely outside of Preserved
Steep Slopes and WPO stream buffers in order to comply with the Comp
Plan recommendations for net density.
b. Staff recommends the applicant proffers an application plan that
demonstrates compliance with net density Comp Plan recommendations by
showing all major features, including parcel boundaries proposed streets,
and open space areas outside of Preserved Steep Slopes, WPO buffers, and
Flood hazard Overlay areas. Staff recommends that the applicant shows on
the application plan the proposed location of all 23 lots that will meet all R-4
standards including cluster standards and setbacks.
Zoning Review Comments for ZMA-2018-16
3. Open Space (Section 2.2.3 and 4.7)
a. "A minimum of twenty-five (25) percent of the total land area of the cluster
development shall be in common open space, subject to section 4.7,
regulations governing open space"
b. The proposal shows 6.35 acres of land as open space, however, 3.20 acres of
that are steep slopes. Additionally, it appears that the entirety of the designated
open space falls in the floodplain buffer. Floodplain area and steep slopes count
towards open space areas, but can't be more than 80% of the total required open
space.
c. At least 20% of the required open space shall be out of the preserved
slopes area, the floodplain area, and is actually land that is considered
usable as open space (Section 4.7).
d. Additionally, the applicant needs to show how the proposed open space is
accessible and usable.

Reviewer: David Hannah CDD Planning Requested Changes
1_ The County's Steep Slopes Overlay Zoning District requirements and WPO stream buffer rules need to be strictly adhered
to_ The Lickinghole Creek corridor is significant in running through a large portion of Crozet_ Most (but not all) of the corridor is
fairly sound, with vegetation and limited disturbance next to the creek_ Maintaining a healthy corridor is important for many
reasons, including water quality and stream health, trail and recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat. and habitat connectivity_
Lickinghole Basin is not far downstream from the property, and many Crozet residents are concerned about the basin filling in
with sediment due to new construction activity_
2_ In order to protect Lickinghole Creek and the Lickinghole basin. new parcel boundaries should not encroach into the WPO
stream buffers or Preserved Steep Slopes_ Keeping stream buffers and Preserved Steep Slopes as protected open space will
help ensure that disturbance to them is limited in the future.
3_ The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and the Crozet Master Plan indicate there may be }wetlands present in the
northeastern portion of the development near Lickinghole Creek_ Please provide an analysis that indicates }whether }wetlands
exist within the development, and if so where they are located-
4- Closing Longmont Drive, which intersects Crozet Ave_ and services the two homes on TIVIP 55-37 is very important
Rehabilitating the roadbed by removing impervious surface, restoring compacted soils and restoring the original topography
could be considered_ It could reduce erosion and sedimentation issues_ Please provide further information on }what the intent is

Review #1
Dear Mr. Langille:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 27
December 2018, and offers the following comments:
1. All individual newly created parcels must be served by the new public roads.
2. Note that the final site and subdivision/road plans must show conformance with the
VDOT Road Design Manual Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable
standards, regulations or other requirements.
If further information is desired, please contact Justin Dee] at 434-422-9894.

ACTION AFTER RECEIPT OF COMMENT LETTER
FIRST SET OF COMMENTS
Your project has been scheduled for a public hearing by the Planning Commission for March 5, 2019,
which is 64 days from the date your application was accepted for review. State Code requires a 90-day
review by the Planning Commission unless the applicant requests deferral. As you will read in this
comment letter, staff recommends changes to your project to help you achieve approval. Without
these changes, staff cannot recommend approval to the Planning Commission.
If you would like to address the comments you must request deferral by February 8, 2019. If you
choose not to request deferral, staff will take your project to the Commission as originally submitted,
but without a recommendation of approval. Instructions for requesting a deferral are outlined below.
Please note that you can submit revisions even if you defer your application.
Please do one of the following on or before February 8, 2019:
(1) Request deferral to resubmit to address comments, pursuant to Section 33.52(A)(1).
Please understand that if a deferral request is made, the Planning Commission public
hearing date will be later than March 5, 2019.
(2) Request to proceed to a Planning Commission public hearing on March 5, 2019. All
advertising fees must be paid by February 8, 2019
(3) Withdraw your application
(1) Deferral Request and Resubmittal
To request deferral, you must submit a request in writing to defer action by the Planning Commission
and Board of Supervisors. The request may be made by email. You may request a deferral for up to 36
months from the date your application was accepted for review, which is January 1, 2022. However, all
outstanding information necessary for Commission action must be submitted by September 1, 2021,
according to the published schedule. (See Section 18-33.52 of the Albemarle County Code.)
(2) Proceed to Planning Commission Public Hearing on March 5, 2019
Revised 10-9-18 MCN
At this time, you may request that your application proceed to public hearing with the Planning
Commission on March 5, 2019. With this option, staff will take your project to the Commission as
originally submitted, but without a recommendation of approval.
(3) Withdraw Your Application
If at any time you wish to withdraw your application, please provide your request in writing.
Resubmittals
As stated above, a deferral does not preclude you from resubmitting the application to address
changes based upon the comments. If you would like to resubmit after you defer, you may do so
following the resubmittal schedule. Be sure to include the resubmittal form on the last page of your
comment letter with your submittal.
The application fee which you paid covers staff review of the initial submittal and one resubmittal.
Each subsequent resubmittal requires an additional fee. (See attached Fee Schedule.)
Failure to Respond
An application shall be deemed to be voluntarily withdrawn if the applicant requests deferral pursuant
to subsection 33.52(A) and fails to provide within 90 days before the end of the deferral period all of
the information required to allow the Board to act on the application, or fails to request a deferral as
provided in subsection 33.52(B) or (C).
Fee Payment
Fees paid in cash or by check must be paid at the Community Development Intake Counter. Make
checks payable to the County of Albemarle. Do not send checks directly to the Review Coordinator.
Fees may also be paid by credit card using the secure online payment system, accessed at
http://www.albemarle.org/department.asp?department=cdd&relpage=21685.

To be Daid after staff review for Dublic notice:
Most applications for a Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission and one public
hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing a legal
advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.
➢ Preparing and mailing or delivering up to fifty (50) notices
$215 + actual cost of first-class postage
➢ Preparing and mailing or delivering each notice after fifty (50)
$1.08 for each additional notice + actual
cost of first-class postage
➢ Legal advertisement (published twice in the newspaper for each public hearing)
Actual cost
(averages between $150 and $250)
