I'm happy to answer whatever you need and have a follow up question to the application: - the classes will be movement and art classes and there will be music in the studio space - usually, classes will be held once a week with *occasional* weeks when there will be 2-3 classes. Never more than 3. - classes will be in the mornings usually for 1 hour at 9 or 11 am, with occasional workshops from 9am-12pm or 9am-2pm -- never outside the parameters of lam to 8pm. - for the visit, I work in the mornings so afternoons would be best - next week Monday, 6/11 or Tuesday 6/12 would work. Let me know if that works for you or if you'd like other days. - sounds fine about contacting neighbors and my follow up question is about the exact meaning of "gross square footage" -- would that include porch space, storage space or the outbuilding shop space? I'm curious about how you define it. Please let me know what else you need and when would be a good time to come out.

What kinds of classes will be held? Are these dancing classes? Will there be music? How often will these classes be conducted? Our regulations for traffic to the Home Occupation currently only allow up to 10 vehicle round trips per day and no more than 30 per week. You have indicated that there could be up to 8 people participating at once. At those numbers you could only have 3 a week. I would also like to know the typical times of these classes? Home Occupations are currently allowed to operate between the hours of lam and 8pm. I would also like to schedule a time to come visit the Property to ensure a few things like the area of the home occupation, the parking on site, etc. Let me know a time and day that works for you. Lastly, I will be sending out neighbor notifications to your abutting property owners as indicated in the application. Once they are sent I have to wait 5 days for any feedback before I can proceed. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Kev-i.w Mc!.o{A.wKN Planner, Zoning Albemarle County Community Development kmccollum@albemarle.org 434-296-5832 x 3141 Susan J.
