Re: Superior Excavating Company
Route 250 East
Dear Joe:
I have this day met with Mr. Gordon Wheeler, Mr. David
Goldberg and Mr. Richard Florence concerning the above captioned
matter, specifically the use of this property prior to the adoption
of zoning.
From what they say, Talbott-Marks Company, Inc. had two
sites in this general area, one leased from Mrs. Grissinger in add-
ition to the subject which was then owned by Dr. Joseph W. Baker,
and that the Grissinger site was the site used for the construction,
storage and repair of heavy construction equipment.
Since there is a conflict as to the actual use of this
property prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, it is my
opinion that you, as Zoning Administrator, should stand by your letter
of December 21, 1971, concerning the use of this property only as a
service station or other such service as was used by The Bug House, Inc. ,
if that firm was in existance and using this property during the time'
that zoning became effective.
However, because of the equities, I believe that any notice
to Superior Excavating Company should provide that no enforcement of
your opinion would be undertaken if Superior Excavating Company should
file an appeal to the Circuit Court within sixty (60) days after
receiving your opinion.
If no appeal is taken, then please contact me and we will
take the appropriate steps to enforce your opinion.
Very truly yours,

Dear Joe:
Enclosed is a letter Duane Bickers has received from the
Talbott Marks Company, Inc. which indicates that the parcel of
land on Route 250 East purchased by Superior Excavating Corpora-
tion of Virginia was used to store, repair and service heavy
construction equipment at the time the Aleiarle County zoning
ordinance cane into effect.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Charlie Haugh.
As we discussed I would hope that with this letter Charlie can
issue an opinion that Superior can make any use of this property
up to and including that of Talbott Marks. We would, of course,
be interested in knowing what you found out from Louisa County.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Dear Joe :
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of December 27,
1971 , concerning the building and zoning permit (71 -851 ) for the above
captioned firm.
Ater reading your letter and discussing the contents with
others , it is my opinion that you should again contact the various
firms and individuals involved in an effort to conclusively prove
whether or not the present use of the
property by the was or was not in existance as of the date of the CountyeZoni ngwOrdi -
nance.
In particular, I would again contact the Highway Department
and get a written statement as to whether or not the present use was
or was not in existance as of the date of the Zoning Ordinance.
As soon as you have assembled this information, please
contact me and we will then determine the legality of the original
permi t.
Very truly yours ,

Dear Mr. Goldsmith:
Reference is made to your December 29, 1971, letter concerning
the above subject.
Our project records are primarily concerned with the project
itself, and not with the use of the property in question. This
property was primarily used by both the grading and paving contractors
to erect field offices for State inspectors and for their Personnel.
Some equipment was parked on this property at various times. However,
we do not have any specific information documenting the use of this
property.
Our records indicate that the grading contractor, Robert A.
Smith Company, Inc. , 0. 0. Box 305, Farmville, Virginia 23901, started
work on the project on April 29, 1968, and completed work on December
19, 1969. The paving contractor, Ballinger ?awing Company, Inc. , P. O.
Box 127, Greenville, S. C. 29602, started work on the project on April
29, 1968, and completed work on December 19, 1969. The use of the
property on Route 250 for field offices should approximately coincide
with these dates.
We are sorry that we can not provide you with more specific
information on this matter.
Yours very truly,

Re: Superior Excavating Company
Route 250 East •
Dear Mr. Haugh: •
This letter will confirm our conversation of this afternoon concerning
the building and zoning permit (71-851) for Superior Excavating Company
on Route 250 East. Mr. Duane Bickers of that firm applied on the 5th of
November for this permit. He requested at that time this office's
varification of proper zoning so that his firm could use the parcel of land
• in question for equipment storage, and to use the buildings to service and
repair pick-up trucks and small off-road equipment. On a site plan submitted
to this office Mr. Bickers varified his request and explained precisely
what was to be done.
Our office issued the zoning permit under the assumption that a
highway construction office and temporary repair shop were located on this
parcel of property prior to the effective date of the zoning ordinance.
However, after issuance of this permit it was learned through Gordon Wheeler,
Dick Florence, and the Highway Department that this construction office
and repair facility was not located there until sometime during late summer
or early fall of 1969.
Due to this, a letter was sent to Mr. Bickers informing him of the
new developments which had come to our attention (see copy of letter) .
We explained to him that this office must accept partial responsibility
for this mistake made, and we probably should accept full responsibility
because we accepted assumed information rather than factual information.
Superior Excavating Company purchased this tract of land for an amount
somewhere in the neighborhood of $25,000. I understand from their attorney,
Mr. Fred Colmer, that it has been purchased.
w Mr. Charles R. Haugh
December 27, 1971 r
Page 2Nifty
As Zoning Administrator my decision would have to rest on what actual
uses were vested in this property prior to the effective date of the
ordinance. The last known use before the ordinance took effect was the
Bugg House, Inc. , a firm which manufactured dune buggies and made minor
automobile repairs. It also operated as a service station.
In my opinion this is the only use that can be performed as a non-
conforming type of operation. Of course, you know that service station
operations cover a multitude of different uses, from gas pumping to major
vehicle repair. If Superior Excavating Company wishes to operate beyond
this requirement, I feel that it would be necessary for their firm to appeal
my decision to the Board of Zoning Appeals or to apply for amendment to
the Zoning Ordinance to allow construction storage yards in an A-1 zone,
the first of these probably being the logical course of action.
Since this firm has located there due to an error on this office's
part, and it now appears that most of their use will be voided, in your
opinion, what course of action do you recommend be taken?
Respectfully,
Jose M. Goldsmith

Re: Your Construction Yard
Route 250 East
Map 94, Parcel 12 F
Dear Mr. Bickers:
We regret to infoimi you that since this office issued a permit for
your firm to operate a construction storage yard and repair building on
property at Route 250 and Route 794 some new developments have come to
our attention.
We had originally believed that the State Highway Construction
Office for Route I-64, had been located there as a construction storage yard
prior to August of 1968. However, this was not the case. They located there
in the Fall of 1969. Since they were affiliated with a State agency no
permit was needed, but they were still at this time in violation of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
Due to this, your facility could not possibly be used as a construction
storage yard (tractors, bulldozers, front end loaders, trenchers, wire
spools, etc.) .
The last legal non-conforming use that existed on this property
that can be varified was the Bugg House, Inc. , a firm which manufactured
dune buggies and made minor automobile repairs as well as a service station.
They have been removed for some eighteen (18) months.
This narrows down the uses that can be performed as non-conforming
to this type of operation - Minor repairs to small vehicles and the operation
of a service station.
Since this is in an A-1 Agricultural zone, your firm still has a
recourse. Superior Excavating may file for an amenebnent to the Zoning
Ordinance to allow a construction storage yard in an A-1 Agricultural zone.
Duane H. Bickers
December 23, 1971
Page 2 ,Nee
This would be done by application through this office. This request would
be handled as a rezoning or other permit and would require two public
hearings; one before the Planning Commission and one before the Board of
Supervisors.
This office must accept partial responsibility for this mistake
by issuing you a zoning permit before making a final and absolute investiga-
tion of this property.
We therefore, have given you a period until Tuesday, February 29, 1972,
to have this problem resolved by the Planning Commission and Board or
to remove the facility.
Again, please accept our apologies for this mistake.

Re: Superior Excavating Corporation
Route 250 East
Dear Mr. Cotner:
I have received a decision by Mr. Charles Haugh, Commonwealth Attorney,
in regards to the above mentioned business.
Mr. Haugh met with property owners of that area to determine along
with the letters from Talbott-Marks Company, Inc. , and the Virginia Depart-
ment of Highways, the specific use of the parcel in question. (Tax Map 94,
parcel 12 F)
Since there is a definite conflict between the property owners in the
area and the uses stated in the letters from the Highway Department and from
Talbott-Marks, Mr. Haugh has advised me to stand by my letter of December 23,1971,
in regards to the use of this property.
I have also been advised that due to the equities involved with your
clients firm, that a time limit of sixty (60) days from the date of this
letter be allowed for Superior Excavating to act on this decision.
If Superior Excavating desires to appeal my decision as Zoning Administrator,
they may appeal first to the Board of Zoning Appeals. If, however, they
wish to apply for a rezoning of this property as stated in my letter of
December 23, 1971, this may be done also. If a rezoning application is
filed it would be up to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors
to decide the problem.
Please disregard the February 29, 1972 deadline date in the December 23, 1971
letter.
Please note that if no appeal is taken within the sixty (60) day time
limit that Superior Excavating will be required to bring themselves within

Re: Construction Storage Yard

Dear Mr. Bickers:
This letter is in reference to the meeting held at 2: 00 p.m.
on Tuesday, December 5, 1972 concerning the above mentioned
construction storage yard violation.
On November 5, 1971 , your firm, BLACK INDUSTRIES (at that time
Superior Excavating Company) applied for andreceived a zoning
and building permit on 2 . 07 acres described as County Tax Map 94,
Parcel 12F and zoned A-1 Agricultural to allow renovation work
for a construction storage yard facility. At this time my opinion
was that this type of facility could be allowed. It was thought
that this type of facility had existed prior to your locating there
and was still within the bounds of the Zoning Ordinance and so
should be allowed. I discussed this matter with John Humphrey,
County Planner, and conclusions drawn were the same.
On the 23rd of December 1971 , after a meeting with adjoining
• property owners, I wrote you stating that additional information
collected indicated that I was incorrect in issuing the original
permit for a construction storage yard. It was stated by these
property owners that this site was not used for this purpose
and that the last known use was a service station operation which
also traded as the Bugg House. As of December 23, 1971 , this use
had been non-existant for some 18 months. I informed you then
that the uses that would be allowed were: (1) Minor repairs to
small vehicles, (2)and the operation of a service station. I in-
formed you of your recourse with the particular bodies involved,
Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, at that time.

SUBJECT: Construction Storage Yard
Route 250 East, V-72-03
DATE: December 6, 1972
On December 27, 1972, I corresponded with Mr . Charles Haugh,
Commonwealth Attorney for Albemarle County and requested that
with the information available, that he make a decision as to
what course of action be taken to clear this matter up.
Mr. Haugh replied to me on December 30, 1972, and explained that
there was not enough conclusive evidence to warrant a fair judgment
of the situation. He requested me to again contact the property
owner involved and to correspond with the Highway Department to
ascertain the use that existed on this property at that time.
On December 29th, 1971 , the day before I received Mr. Haugh 's
letter, I wrote to Mr. Robert Connoch, Assistant Resident High-
way Engineer for the Virginia Department of Highways in Louisa
County, asking information on the location of this equipment .
Mr. Connoch replied to me giving me the names of certain con-
tractors which were located there and the dates of those.
I then, on January 5, 1972, received a letter from Mr. Fred Colmer,
(then your firm's attorney) informing me that you had received a
letter from Talbott-Marks Company, Inc. giving dates of location
of equipment on the questioned parcel . He attached a copy of that
letter at that time.
I then met with Mr. Haugh and presented him with this additional
information. Mr . Haugh then met with Mr. Gordon Wheeler. Mr.
David Goldberg, and Mr. Richard Florence on February 1 , 1972.
From these two (2) meetings Mr. Haugh wrote me on the afternoon
of February 1 , 1972 informing me to stand by my letter of December
23, 1971 as to the use of the property . This use being a service
station and repair to small vehicles.
On February 15, 1972, I corresponded with Mr. Fred Colmer (then
your attorney) informing him of Mr. Haugh 's decision and also
attached copies of all pertinent letters up to that time. I in-
formed Mr . Colmer at that time that Superior Excavating (now
BLACK INDUSTRIES, INC) had sixty (60) days to note an appeal to
the Board of Zoning Appeals or apply to the Board of Supervisors
for rezoning. I stated at this time that if no appeal was taken
that your firm Superior Excavating (now BLACK INDUSTRIES, INC. )
would be required to bring themselves within the bounds of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Nothing was heard from you or Mr. Colmer, and from the appearance
of the site, progress was being made to comply with my request .
I followed a hands-off policy in hopes that your firm would con-
tinue this progress. However, I did not proceed with the follow-up
that should have been accomplished with this matter.

TO: Mr. Duane Bickers
SUBJECT: Construction Storage Yard
Route 250 East, V-72-03
DATE: December 6, 1972
Soon after learning that a change in management of Superior
Excavating had occurred, I made a check of your site. I saw
then that heavy equipment was still present, and that the area,
even though in a better condition than previously, was still
in a disorderly state. It was at this meeting that I informed
you of a meeting to include all parties concerned to bring this
problem to an understanding, and to clear it up.
Pursuant to this meeting, the County Attorney has directed me to
inform your firm, BLACK INDUSTRIES, INC. as follows:
"The uses allowed on land occupied by BLACK INDUSTRIES, INC. ,
containing 2. 07 acres, zoned A-1 Agricultural and described
as County Tax Map 94, Parcel 12F are as follows:
SERVICE STATION (Gas Station)
1) Dispensing gasoline & motor oil
2) Washing of vehicles (small trucks & cars)
3) Tire changing & repairing & wheel balancing
4) Minor repair of vehicles (small trucks & cars) ,
including tune-ups, brake work, muffler & tailpipe
repair or replacement, shock absorber replacement,
transmission adjustments.
5) Battery re-charging or replacement
6) Wrecker or road service (with 24 hr.storage of wrecked or
inoperative vehicle)
7) Greasing & oil changes
8) U-haul rental and similar uses
This site can include any or all of these stated uses but cannot
exceed these uses. "
I find it necessary to give your firm until 12: 00 noon, January 10,
1973 to bring BLACK INDUSTRIES, INC. within the bounds of the
Zoning Ordinance in conjunction with my ruling as previously stated,
(service station operation) or to apply to the Board of Zoning
Appeals to review my decision as Zoning Administrator in this
matter.
If you or your firm has any questions, please feel free to contact
me at my office.
Very truly y rzlico

MINUTES-BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS March 13 , 1973
This was a regular meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals , held on
Tuesday , March 13 , 1973, at 5 : 30 P.M. in the Board Room of the County
Office Building .
Meeting was called to order.
All members were present : Savory Amato , Chairman , William Roudabush,
Harry Brown, W. P . Heath, E . H. Bain. The chairman established that a
quorum was present .
Mr. Amato inquired about minutes from previous meetings this year.
1 . VA- 73-03 Black Industries Inc. , applicant requests the Board
of Zoning Appeals to reverse a decision made by the Zoning
Administrator in order to allow a construction storage yard
facility on property in an A-1 Agricultural zone described
as County Tax Map 94 , Parcel 12F, Rivanna Magisterial District .
The Secretary distributed copies of correspondance which occurred
illbetween former Zoning Administrator Joseph Goldsmith and persons in-
volved in the case .
This case was originally scheduled for February 13 , 1973 , but was re-
scheduled due to the applicants request .
The chairman asked to hear from a representative of Black Industries ,
Inc. Mr. Fred Colmer, attorney for Superior Excavating Co . , now Black
Industries , came forward. Mr. Colmer stated that he was appealing
Mr. Goldsmith ' s decision for two reasons ; (1) because Mr. Goldsmith
originally approved the use , which he said Mr. Duane Bickers of Superior
Excavating could testify to ; and (2) because the land was used for a
similar use , prior to Superior Excavating coming in. He said there
were two employees from Talbott-Marks Company p y ( the previous user) to
testify.
•Mr. Amato asked whether the prior use of the land was the only question
in the matter.
Mr. Colmer stated that they were asking relief because they did all
129
-2 -
they could prior to purchasing the property to make sure that they
would be allowed to use the property as they wished.
Mr. Amato restated that they were appealing the decision due to a
hardship and conflict a,1d:` prior usage of the property prior to the
zoning ordinance .
Mr. Colmer said the two employees present were now employed by Black
Industries , formerly employed by Talbott-Marks when I -64 was being
constructed.
Duane Bickers , Area Superintendent for Black Industries was called to
speak. He explained that they had wanted a place for the storage of
equipment while it was being serviced, then it would be put back in
the field. He explained that their work involved buried telephone
cable construction and their equipment included both tired and track
equipment , 2 ton-trucks and tendem flatbed trucks .
He said when they found the subject property they took a site plan to
Mr. Goldsmith and wanted to make sure they could use it . This was in
November of 1971 . They had not yet purchased the land. Mr. Goldsmith
said it would' be alright to use the property. (and issued a building
permit)
Superior Excavating then purchased the property for $20 , 000 . (Mr.
Bickers was asked to explain the relationship between Superior
Excavating and Black Industries .) He said Superior Excavating had
since been bought by Black Industries .
He stated that they exrecteda chain link fence on the property which
cost $3 ,500 .. Also they have put in 100 tons of gravel to improve the
appearance .
He was asked if all this took place before they were notified by Mr.
Goldsmith they would not be able to use it. He said yes . Also they
130
-3-
put a roof on the place .
He said they were using the property for exactly the use they said
they would. He said that the term "storage yard" was a misnomer.
The Black Industries was a construction business and stored vehicles
only when moving from one job to another.
Mr. Amato asked if there were any buildings on the property and repairs.
Mr. Bickers said yes , but major repairs were sent to Durham; only minor
repairs were done on site , as they were not qualified to work on heavy
equipment .
Mr. Colmer asked Mr. Bickers if any equipment was stored there full
time . Mr. Bickers replied a rubber-tired spare backhoe . He agreed with
Mr. Colmer that when equipment was sitting in the shop they were losing
money.
Mr. Colmer questioned whether there was any question raised about the
proper use of the site .
Mr. Bickers said no , he had taken over the company less than a month
before the property was purchased and he did not want to make a mistake
in purchasing. Mr. Amato asked what use was made of the property by
Talbott-Marks . Mr. Bickers said that when he sued to be in cement
business they supplied cement to Ballinger Paving Co . , who did paving on
I -64. Mr. Ballinger said that Talbott-Marks did work on heavy equipment
but Mr. Bickers said he did not know.
Raymond Jones , Plow foreman for Black Industries came forward. He formerly
worked for Talbott-Marks from 1968 to February or March of 1970 .
Mr. Amato asked the effective date of the ordinance . Mr. Roudabush
answered August 1968. Mr. Amato asked if Mr. Jones was with Talbott-
Marks in August 1968. He was not .
Mr. Colmer asked what Talbott-Marks did in Charlottesville .
- 131

Mr. Jones replied they had the lot which Black Industries owns now
they had an office there, operations to continue gradin '
g project
They stored a diesel fuel tanker on the lot and at least (2) water
trucks (Big Mack 10 wheel tandems . )
They moved to this lot in June of 1969. Their first lot was located
at intersection of I-64 and Route 20, then they moved to this
Mr. Colmer asked who used this lot previousl location.
y• Mr. Jones replied
Harvestore (construct silos , they had a storage g yard there , kept
materials and supplies, also trucks and equipment)
He didn ' t remember when this was . Mr. Colmer asked if Central Bridge
also used this location. Mr. Jones said yes , this was June 1969 . g
Mr. Amato asked if other people were using it in August 1968 .
Mr. Jones said he knew of use by Bugg House , -for building dune buggies
from Volkswagens . Mr. Amato asked if they used it as a repair shop .
Mr. Jones said not too much, they were building the ,buggies ,
but was
not used for construction storage yard.
Mr. Jones said he did not know who was using it in 1968 until Talbott-
Marks took it over in 1969 .
Mr. Amato said our problem is we would like to know what use was being
made of this property close to August 1968 . Mr. Jones replied he did
not know, he had no dealings there at that time .
Mr. Roger Gilbert came forward, he previously worked for Talbott-Marks ,
and is now employed by Black Industries . He worked for Talbot-Marks
from 1967-1971 , operated from what is now Blacks property. (A lease
was presented by Mr. Colmer from Talbott-Marks . )
Mr. Colmer asked Mr. Gilbert what this property was used for. In 1967
they had a small trailer for an office , they laid pipe lines , per-
formed small repairs at this time until the full grading crew came in.
Later on they went large scale , had several trailers , and covered vans .

public hearing was closed at this
point , and the Board considered
12-2-2 , pages 50 , 51, 52 , and 53 .
Chairman Amato indicated two questions , one of which is no
n-conforming
use
- 137
2-
and whether such use had been discontinued for a period in ex
of two years cess
and the second question of hardship .
Mr. Roudabush : We were funished with correspondance from f
Zoning Administrator where it was indicated that he advised t °rmer
that he would be permitted the use of the he applicant
property. No disagreement
on that . I feel that based on the action of the Zoning Administrator and the good faith that the
purchaser acted in purchasing the property
in spending certain amount of funds on the property that he
has cause for the hardship but I 'm not too clear on the in probably
Zoning Ordinance on abandonment of useage . tent of the
g The ordinance says if any
"non-conforming use structure activities is discontinued for
exceeding2 a period
years after the enactment of this ordinance it shall be
deemed abandoned and subsequent uses shall conform to the requirements
of this ordinance". And I q irements
would think that the word "subsequent" means
subsequent after a period of 2 years . And I think the argument that
some of the opponents
presented at the last meeting
inter-
vening use nulified the 2 that the year period that the owner was given to
reactivate a non-conforming use . I think we could approach this from
either point . That the use was not abandoned or that it is a hardship .
Maybe other members have views on this .
Mr. Roudabush : I 'd like to also mention the last paragraph on
page 54 of the ordinance which says " in authorizing a variance the
board may impose such conditions regarding the location, character
other features of the and
proposed structure or use" and I think that it
may be necessary in public interest . I would like to suggest that
we did . . . if
well in this case I think the action would be to overrule the
last action of the Zoning Administrator . And if we did that I would
• like to,
if we are authorized to do it , require some type of screening `J
and maybe get some other recommendations from the planning department
_ 138
3_
as to what might be necessary on this property to protect the adjacent
'land owners and other things that might be in the public Yn
Mr. Amato : Well, tereat ,
may I suggest that if you feel that way about it that
you make the motion . . . make it subject to such requirements of screenin that may be required by uired the Planningg
Department . Can we do that , John?
Mr. Humphrey : I believe
you certainly can, and as a matter of fact,
you could refer this to the commission before taking action for
recommendation .
Mr . Amato : For the Planning Commission?
Mr. Humphrey : I think
you may want to expand further than screening .
I 'm not that familiar with access and safety and this type of thing
it could be rather broad . so
Mr . Amato : Could we pass it then subject to such restrictions as the
Planning Commission may make on access and screening .
Mr. Amato: That ' s a good suggestion on the access because there may
be some requirements they want to put on it .
Mr. Humphrey : They may have to come back to you for the final action
with a condition I think it refers to the Planning Commission for
recommendation they may have to come back to you again to confirm and adopt
those recommendations .
Mr. Roudabush : If we impose conditions , could those conditions be
that
the Planning Commission approve one of those . . .
Mr. Amato : I don ' t think we should specify that it should come back to
us . It should be subject to such restrictions as to access and screening
as the Planning Commission may deem necessary and
proper , and then
that would be the end of it .
Mr. Roudabush : I 'm going to make that motion . . . that . . .
,bush that-

Mr. Roudabush : Our ordinance says in authorizing a variance for a
proposed use that the Board may impose such conditions it may deem
necessary in public interest . I guess we could be specific as to. . .
Mr . Amato : That ' s why I thought it should be as to access and
screening this is the things we are concerned with .
Mr . Roudabush : I think we have got to be as specific to the Planning !
Commission. . .we qan,'� g '

thinks is good we ' ll say ii o. k .
Mr. Amato : That ' s why I think the motion should be to overrule the
decision of the Zoning Administrator subject to such conditions as to
access and screening of the Planning Commission deems proper.
Mr. Heath : Judge , Could you add the word noise in it?
Mr. Amato : If you are going to say no engines run ,
you just may as
well not have the use .
Mr. Roudabush : I make a motion that the last action of the Zoning
Administrator be overruled and that the applicant be granted a
variance for the use of this property and a certificate of occupancy
be issued upon approval of a site plan by the County Planning Commission
which site plan would incorporate all the features normally incident
to approval of any other site plan required by the county ordinance .
Mr. Brown : I second that motion.
Chairman : Any discussion on the motion? All in favor indicate by
saying aye . (All aye 's) I vote aye . Opposed by contrary sign . (No
"no ' s") . The motion is carried .
