Here (below) is what I would consider the main talking points for the community meeting, in case this is a useful reference. None of this is really new material, I think it's all stuff we've discussed previously. • Unique project—involves multiple properties, some in the City and one in the County. • County property is currently zoned Light Industrial (LI); to use the property for the applicant's proposed use, a rezoning or zoning map amendment is required. • Specifically, the applicant wishes to rezone from Light Industrial to Rural Areas (RA), which allows for agricultural, forestry, and fishery uses. The project narrative and application plan indicate that the property in Albemarle County will not contain any improvements; it will be converted from forest to agriculture. • The Comprehensive Plan designates the future use of this property for"Parks and Green Systems."That designation is probably more geared towards green systems (conserve riparian ecosystem, and promote sustainable watershed management). Adjacent Moore's Creek is currently designated as an impaired waterway (?). • The County requires the applicant to present the proposed project to nearby property owners (and other interested community members) during a community meeting, to solicit initial feedback. The public has additional opportunities to participate in the review process during public hearings conducted by the PC and then the BOS. • Lead reviewer= Tim Padalino (tpadalino a(�,albemarle.org)/ (434)-296-5832 x 3088 And as you've pointed out, we also need to receive clarification from the applicant—do they intend to provide any other application plan or other material?The County is probably looking to get clarity on: - the existing conditions (is the berm existing, proposed, or are they proposing to modify an existing berm?); - the limits of clearance and land cover conversions (what areas would be converted from riparian forest cover to ag?); - the graphic convention used for the "berm" (show contours/topo, not blobs). And of course there may be other additional topics to discuss with the applicant? Thanks again, David. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss this at any point on Monday— I'll be here!

Sorry-- David F.just clarified that CMI application is already on Avon & 5th CAC agenda for 9/21. Thanks David for getting me clear on that.

FYI (below). Pam Riley mentioned that, if the 9/11 meeting for Hogwaller Farm ZMA does not officially satisfy the County's Community Meeting requirements, then she would like the Charlottesville Music Institute and Hogwaller Farm applications to be put on the same 5th &Avon CAC meeting agenda (presumably in October— David mentioned that the 9/21 agenda is already full). However, at this point(pending verification from applicants), it appears that the meeting this Monday evening 9/11 will be acceptable to Rick and Pam and everyone else involved. Just FYI at this point; I'll follow up if anything changes. Tim Padalino, AICP Albemarle County I Community Development Dept.

Hi Everyone, I am able to attend the Monday night meeting. 1 I spoke with Tim this morning to find out if the community(and specifically the adjacent 12 property owners) had'been ti notified in the required time frame for the Monday night meeting for it to be considered an official County community meeting. My main concern is that we provide the property owners and the community residents near the Hogwaller Farm ZMA an opportunity to express any concerns or opinions they may have about the proposed project. I mentioned to Tim that we have another application, the Charlottesville Music Institute, proposed to be located at 1740 Broadway, that may be put on the agenda of the 5th and Avon St CAC meeting for Sept 21st. Given these two applications are in general proximity, it it turns out the Monday meeting can not be considered an official community meeting for the County, it would be efficient for community members to hear about both applications at the same meeting arranged for another time. That meeting could be a 5th and Avon St CAC meeting or it could be held in the Woolen Mills area. As I mentioned to Rachel regarding the Music Institute application, the only Woolen Mills resident on the 5th and Avon Street CAC is Brian Roy. I defer to the staff on the final determination of whether Monday's meeting constitutes an official community meeting and how to handle these community meetings on both applications. Thank you for listening to my input and for your efforts on arranging these meetings. • Best, Pam Pam Riley Scottsville Planning Commissioner County of Albemarle 434-984-0282 prilev20albemarle.org From:Tim Padalino Sent: Friday, September 08, 2017 9:29 AM To: Rick Randolph Cc: Pam Riley; David Benish; David Fox Subject: RE: Community Meeting/ "Hogwaller Farm" ZMA? Hi Rick, Thanks very much for your response and for sharing your thoughts. And thank you for being willing to attend the meeting, despite the short notice. I agree—we only yesterday (September 7) received a copy of the meeting announcement, which was dated August 25. Receiving that letter earlier would have been beneficial to all. Hopefully both City and County property owners received that 8/25 letter with reasonably sufficient advance notice. Based on the info I have from that letter, and in speaking with one of the City's Planners, the meeting logistics are as follows: Belmont Carlton Neighborhood Association Meeting Monday, September 11 at 7:00pm Clark Elementary School— Library 1000 Belmont Ave 2 w ` And here is a link to the Neighborhood Association meeting agenda: https://staticl.squarespace.com/static/54b5a84ce4b0df6edc792ef3/t/59b00a12e6f2eIf5b6119727/1504709141294/20 170911+BCNA+Agenda.pdf I hope this helps.

Hi Tim. Being contacted on Thursday(today) about a Monday meeting is very short notice. I just confirmed with Justin that I can make the meeting so your email preceded his. His email,did not include time and location of meeting space in Clark. I wonder how many of the Charlottesville residents will be able to make such a short-noticed meeting, especially when the meeting time is not posted in the communication to us.

I'm writing to solicit your guidance on a ZMA application the County received this month: ZMA2017-07— Hogwaller Farm: Rezone Light Industrial (LI) to Rural Areas (RA) to allow for the conversion of forested land along Moores Creek to agricultural uses. This request is actually part of a larger multi-municipal project, involving this ZMA application to the County as well as rezoning and special use permit applications to the City of Charlottesville. The City portion of the project would include new higher-density residential uses and small farm stands/stalls for residents of this development to sell ag products grown on-site (please see attached project narrative and application plan). My specific questions are as follows: - Did you receive notification from Shimp Engineering about the upcoming neighborhood meeting /community meeting, to be held on Monday September 11th at 7:00 at Clark Elementary School in Belmont?The notification letter was dated August 25th. I was forwarded a copy by a City Planner(please see attached). 3 - If you did receive notification, do you plan to attend? - What are your initial thoughts/level of comfort with this upcoming 9/11 meeting satisfying the County's requirement for conducting a community meeting? Thanks in advance for providing feedback on those questions. I'm certainly happy to discuss on the phone if that would be more constructive.
