To: Mr. Daniel Hyer From: Scott Clark, Senior Planner
Date: July 16, 2019
Subject: Mandatory pre-application meeting for Miller School
The following are County staff comments regarding the above noted pre-application meeting. This meeting satisfies the requirement for a pre-application meeting prior to submittal of your zoning map amendment application (“rezoning”) and/or a special use permit application. The purpose of for the meeting is summarized below:
The purposes for a pre-application meeting are to: (i) provide the applicant and the county a common understanding of the proposed project; (ii) inform the applicant about the proposed project’s consistency
with the comprehensive plan, other relevant policies, and county regulations; (iii) broadly identify the planning, zoning and other issues raised by the application that need to be addressed by the applicant; (iv)
inform the applicant about the applicable procedure; and (v) allow the director to identify the information
the applicant must submit with the application, including the supplemental information delineated in
subsection (c). Receiving the relevant supplemental information will allow the application to be comprehensively and efficiently reviewed.
Our understanding is that the proposed special-use permit application for this existing, non-conforming private
school will include: • Increased enrollment and staffing
• New construction in the main school area to provide increased dormitory and academic space, and possibly other facilities
The following are staff comments:
(ii) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
• The central Comprehensive Plan goals for the Rural Areas are related to agriculture, forestry, and
protection of natural and cultural resources. New commercial uses such as schools are not generally
supportive of those goals. However, the historic nature of the Miller School and the existing resource
protection on the site would be taken into account in the review.
• Appropriateness of the scale of expansion for the Rural Areas, and appropriateness of design/layout for
the historic nature of the site, would be key policy considerations.
(iii) broadly identify the planning, zoning and other issues raised by the application that need to be
addressed by the applicant
• Impacts to historic resources caused by new structures, additions, and facilities (Note that our
Page xiiiMiller School of Albemarle Supplement to SUP Application2
review of impacts to existing historic structures will be focused on their design and context, and less
on interior uses or changes, unless the interior changes constitute significant changes to the historic
nature of the structures.)
• Impacts to water quality and other natural resources resulting from construction and expansion
• Public-safety impacts of increased traffic generation
(iv) applicable procedures
• Community Meeting – the applicant is required by ordinance to undertake a community meeting process
as part of the review of the rezoning/SP request. This meeting should be held, if possible, within 30 days
from the date the rezoning application is submitted, and can be held prior to the submittal of the rezoning
application. Adjacent property owners and neighborhoods (and the Coordinating Reviewer/planner)
should receive advance notification of this meeting (date/time/location).
• If the applicant knows of any of any waivers or modifications that are needed to implement the proposed
plan, staff recommends that those requests be submitted with the initial application. Staff will then
determine if the waivers should be approved with the rezoning action or deferred for action with site plan
and/or subdivision plat approval.
(v) Identify the information the applicant must submit with the application, including the supplemental
information
• A conceptual plan should be submitted with the Special Use Permit application for the private school.
• Attached SP Checklist
• Please provide a letter from the Land Trust of Virginia stating that the proposed expansion would be in
compliance with the terms of the conservation easement.
If you have any further questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Scott Clark Senior Planner

directors or officers of a corporation to the corporation, the Trustees and officers of the Corporation shall
not be liable to the Corporation.
10.2 Mandatory Indemnification. The Corporation (the term "Corporation" as used in this Section shall
mean this Corporation only and no predecessor entity or other legal entity) shall indemnify any individual
who is, was or is threatened to be made, a party to a civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other

against all liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred by him or her on account of the proceeding except
such liabilities and expenses as are incurred because of his or her willful misconduct or knowing violation
of the criminal law. Before any indemnification is paid, a determination shall be made that
indemnification is permissible in the circumstances because the person seeking indemnification has met
the standard of conduct set forth above. Such determination shall be made in the manner provided by

and indemnification under policies of insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or others.
However, no person shall be entitled to indemnification by the Corporation to the extent he or she is

classified as a private foundation under the Internal Revenue Code, the Corporation shall not indemnify
any person otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article or purchase

Miller Branch, which is a USGS perennial stream, flows through the property for 1.25 miles. There are also two instances of National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) wetlands that will be
protected by the easement that are classified as Freshwater Ponds. One of these is the “Lake”,
which is approximately 11.61 acres. The other is a 0.43-acre pond shown in photo 9 (in
Appendix H). There is also an instance of Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland that is 1.22 acres, located just to the southeast of the Lake. The property is in the Mechums, Rivanna, and James River watersheds, all of which are state-designated scenic rivers. The property is also in the
Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Soils:
The Property contains approximately 435 acres of soils defined by the United States Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service as being well-suited for agricultural purposes. Currently, some of the property’s open fields are being used for growing hay.
Protection of the open space and agricultural resources afforded by the conservation easement
over this property will maintain this land for its current use as well as many others.

Conservation Values of the Property
The property has the following significant conservation values:
1) Scenic Open Space
Scenic Open Space is one of the property’s most significant conservation values. The
property has approximately 5,110 feet of road frontage and scenic open space on the west
side of State Route 689 (Pounding Creek Road). The property has approximately 4,130
feet of road frontage and scenic open space on the south side of State Route 637 (Dick Woods Road). The property has approximately 2,755 feet of road frontage and scenic open space on the east side of State Route 635 (Miller School Road). The property also
has approximately 2,820 feet of road frontage and scenic open space on both sides of State
Route 635 (Miller School Road) as it runs through the property. All of this road frontage
totals approximately 2.8 miles. These scenic open space values are documented with the ground photography in Appendix H of this Baseline Documentation Report, specifically with photographs 15, 16, 18 to 25, 35, 38, 39, and 44 to 51.
Preservation of the property’s open space is also a conservation purpose that satisfies the
conservation purpose test vis-à-vis compliance with Treasury Regulations, specifically
Subchapter A, Section 1.170A-14(d). Preservation of the property’s open space will yield “significant and substantial public benefit” (Public Benefit) and is both (A) pursuant to a clearly delineated Federal, state or local governmental conservation policy and (B)
for the scenic enjoyment of the general public.
Public Benefit
Preservation of the property’s open space values with this conservation easement provides significant and substantial public benefit in the following ways: (i) the
public has substantial opportunity to view the property, given the visibility from
State Routes 689, 637, and 635, (ii) development of the property would degrade the
scenic and natural character of the area, which is predominately used for agricultural and/or forestal purposes (iii) the open space use is consistent with public conservation programs mentioned in part (A) below, (iv) the open space use
is consistent with private conservation programs, such as the numerous other land
trust programs operating in the Piedmont, several of which hold similar easements
in the area and (v) preservation of the property’s open space helps counteract the intense land development pressure in the area, which is well known and cited in the qualified conservation easement appraisal.
A) Pursuant to Governmental Conservation Policies
State Conservation Policies: Preservation of the property’s open space values is
consistent with and furthers clearly delineated policies of the Commonwealth of Virginia, examples of which are listed below.
Section 1 of Article XI of the Constitution of Virginia states that it is the
Commonwealth’s policy to protect its atmosphere, lands and waters from
5
pollution, impairment, or destruction, for the benefit, enjoyment, and
general welfare of the people of the Commonwealth.”
The Code of Virginia (Title 10.1 Conservation, §10.1-1800 et seq.)
declares it to be the public policy of the Commonwealth to “promote the preservation of open-space lands and to encourage private gifts of money, securities, land or other property to preserve the natural, scenic, historic,
scientific, open-space and recreational areas of the Commonwealth.”
The Code of Virginia (Title 10.1 Conservation, §10.1-400 et seq.)
designates Goose Creek, a public water supply, as a scenic river under the Scenic Rivers Act, which provides for the administration of the scenic river “to preserve and protect its natural beauty and to assure its use and
enjoyment for its scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic,
cultural or other assets and to encourage the continuance of existing
agricultural, horticultural, forestry and open space land and water uses.” Local Conservation Policies: Preservation of the property’s open space values is
consistent with and furthers clearly delineated policies of Albemarle County, by
implementing the goals, objectives, and strategies of the Albemarle County
Comprehensive Plan:
i) to “protect and enhance scenic resources for residents and tourists” by continuing to “promote voluntary measures to protect scenic resources,”
which “include: [conservation] easements,” “which are intended to
preserve open space” (at 5.13);
ii) to “[s]upport a strong agricultural and forestal economy” by continuing “to promote use of ... conservation easements ... to help preserve agricultural and forestal soils and to increase the acreage of productive soils for
agriculture and forestry” (at 7.9 - 7.10);
iii) to “[p]rotect and preserve natural resources, which include mountains,
hills, valleys, rivers, streams, groundwater, and retain continuous and unfragmented land for agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, and natural resource protection,” and to “[p]rovide information to property owners in
the Rural Area on alternatives to subdividing their land, including
donating conservation easements and use value taxation” (at 7.16, 7.18);
iv) to “[p]rotect and preserve natural resources, which include mountains,
hills, valleys, rivers, streams, groundwater, and retain continuous and unfragmented land for agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, and natural
resource protection” by continuing “to promote conservation easements
to provide a financially attractive way for landowners to protect family
farms in Albemarle County and their unique open space resources" (at
7.16, 7.20);
v) to “[p]rotect and preserve natural resources, which include mountains,
hills, valleys, rivers, streams, groundwater, and retain continuous and
6
unfragmented land for agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, and natural
resource protection” by encouraging “connectivity of conservation land
wherever feasible.” “When subdivision occurs in the form of a Rural
Preservation Development, opportunities may exist to locate the preservation tract adjacent to other conservation easements, thereby making larger blocks of connected land. When setting priorities among
conservation projects, the County should place particular value on sites
adjacent to other protected land” (at 7.16, 7.27);
vi) to “[p]rovide information to citizens so they are well-informed and understand the cultural, economic, and ecological aspects of the Rural Area” and to “[i]nform existing property owners, realtors, and
prospective property owners in the Rural Area that the Rural Area is not
intended for residential development. Instead, emphasis is placed on
stewardship of the land, retaining agricultural and forestal activities, protecting natural resources and maintaining unfragmented land to protect biodiversity” and as such, “[s]taff should promote conservation
easements" (at 7.34 - 7.35); and
vii) to [c]omplete the greenway trail system and provide access to blueways”
and “[continue] to demonstrate the benefits and values of greenways to individual landowners whose land, or parts thereof, could be made a part of the greenway system through donation of the land or an easement.”
“Landowners can provide greenway land through a variety of voluntary
methods. The most common way is a conservation easement” (at 11.12,
11.20).
B) Scenic Enjoyment of the General Public
(i) the property’s use is and will remain consistent with other land use in the
vicinity (see Conservation Values # 2 and # 3 below).
(ii) the open and mostly undeveloped nature of the property with its rolling
forested topography and pastoral farm fields, provides and will provide a visual scene with contrast and variety.
(iii) these same open fields and rolling forested topography provide and will
provide the visual scene with a harmonious variety of shapes and textures.
2) Adjacency to Existing Conserved Land
The property adjoins a property under permanent conservation easement with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. The property is also in the vicinity of numerous other
properties that are protected by conservation easements. A conservation easement over
the NewCo, LLC Property increases the proportion of locally conserved land for the
additional benefit of the general public and furthers local, state and federal goals for
land conservation. The agricultural uses of the farm are also consistent with the agricultural uses on many other properties in the vicinity.
7
3) Agricultural Use
The farm is designated by Albemarle County as “Agricultural” for the purposes of use
value assessment and taxation. Since the farm is in County-defined agricultural use,
the protection of this use potential qualifies as an important conservation purpose for “Agricultural Use” in section A(1)(a)(1) of the Conservation Value Review Criteria of the VLCF. The farm’s soils are well-suited for a variety of agricultural uses since
approximately 435 acres of the property soils are defined as Prime Farmland or
Farmland of Statewide Importance. Protection of agriculturally significant land (soils),
which is designated as such by Albemarle County, qualifies as an important conservation purpose for “Agricultural Use” in section A(1)(a)(3) of the Conservation Value Review Criteria of the VLCF. Protection of the property’s significant
agricultural resources (soils and open space) afforded by the conservation easement
over this property will maintain this land for its current, as well as numerous potential
future agricultural uses. 4) Forestal
The property has approximately 510 acres of forest cover. Most of the forest cover is
eastern hardwood forest. This forested land provides significant conservation values, as
it (i) acts as a forested riparian buffer to help protect water quality for on-site drainage features and wetlands, (ii) provides cover for wildlife, (iii) contributes to the property’s scenic values, and (iv) is a resource for forestry uses.
5) Water Resources
The property has 1.25 miles of Miller Branch, which is a USGS perennial stream. The property has three instances of National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) wetlands that will be protected by this easement. Two areas are classified as Freshwater Pond, one of
which is 0.43 acres, and the other is 11.61 acres (also known as the “Lake”). The third
area is 1.22 acres classified as Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland, and is located
adjacent (to the southeast) of the Lake. The property is in the Mechums, Rivanna, and James River watersheds, all of which are state-designated scenic rivers. The property is also in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

water resources are as follows:
2.10 RIPARIAN BUFFER/WETLANDS.
2.10.1 Buffer Required: A vegetated Buffer Strip is required for any Covered Waters
and for any Wetland that fronts on, or is contained on, the Property, as shown on the Plat. For such Covered Waters and Wetlands that exist within or adjacent to forested areas of the Property,
a Buffer Strip shall be defined as an area that is within 100 feet from the top of the bank of any
Covered Waters, or within 100 feet from the edge of any Wetlands. To protect water quality,
such forested Buffer Strips shall be maintained in forest or be permitted to revegetate naturally,
and there shall be no damaging or filling within said Buffer Strips, except as set forth below in Section 2.10.2. For Covered Waters and Wetlands that do not exist within or adjacent to forested
areas of the Property, a Buffer Strip shall be defined as an area that is within 100 feet from the
top of the bank of any Covered Waters, or within 100 feet from the edge of any Wetland. To
protect water quality, such non-forested Buffer Strips shall be permitted to revegetate naturally,
and shall not be plowed, cultivated, dredged, or filled, and no other earth disturbing activity shall be permitted within such Buffer Strip, except as set forth below in 2.10.2. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buffer Strips protecting Covered Waters and Wetlands in either forested or non-
forested sections of the Property shall be extended to 150 feet in width in sections of the Property
that have slopes of 10% to 25%, and shall be extended to 200 feet in width in sections of the
Property that have slopes of greater than 25%. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or prevent the Grantor from undertaking efforts to restore or create additional Wetlands upon the
Property.
2.10.2 Buffer Restrictions: Within the required Buffer Strips on the Property, there
shall be no construction of Buildings, Structures, Roads, Utilities, or other impervious surfaces,
no storage of compost, manure, fertilizers, chemicals, machinery or equipment, and no cultivation, dumping, filling, plowing, or other earth disturbing activity, except as may be
reasonably necessary for (a) Wetland or stream bank restoration and erosion control pursuant to
any required government permit, (b) fencing along or within the Buffer Strip, (c) removal of
individual trees presenting a danger to persons or property, (d) removal of diseased, dead, non-
native trees, shrubs or plants, or invasive trees, shrubs or plants (as defined in the Virginia

Department of Conservation and Recreation’s publication: “Invasive Alien Plant Species of
Virginia” or other independent and authoritative source), (e) installation and maintenance of
permitted Utilities, and (f) construction and maintenance of stream crossings for permitted Roads
or trails, which crossings do not obstruct water flow.
2.10.3 Required Vegetation: Buffer Strips shall be composed of vegetative cover that includes, but is not limited to, forest, shrubs, or warm-season grasses. Lawns or grazed pastures
shall not constitute vegetative cover for the purposes of satisfying this requirement. The Buffer
Strip shall not be mowed.
2.10.4 Livestock Prohibited: Livestock are prohibited from grazing in, and shall be fenced out of required Buffer Strips. Any fencing so required shall be established within a period of no more than two years from the date the Easement is recorded, and shall thereafter be
maintained.
2.10.5 Exemptions: The prohibitions in 2.10.1 through 2.10.4 above shall not preclude
the repair or replacement of any Building or Structures existing as of the date of this Easement or the construction or maintenance of reasonably sized fencing, stone walls, mailboxes, gate posts, permitted signs, feeding and watering troughs, structures for crossing streams or Wetlands,
wildlife observation structures, trails, boardwalks, piers, docks, floats, buoys, dam structures, dry
hydrants, and mechanical systems required to maintain the Lake, provided said activities are not
inconsistent with, and do not adversely affect, conflict with, diminish, impair, or interfere with the Conservation Purposes or Conservation Values.
RESTRICTIONS PROTECTING FOREST VALUES. The following restrictions have been designed by the Land Trust of Virginia, the Grantor and the Grantor’s representatives
with conservation value protections in mind. The purpose of these restrictions is to prevent poor
management of forest resources, which could impair the forest resource conservation values,
which are listed for protection in the deed of conservation easement. The restrictions specific to forest management are as follows:
2.11 MANAGEMENT OF FOREST.
2.11.1 Stewardship Plan Requirement: Grantor shall have in place a current, written
Virginia Forest Stewardship Plan or similar document prior to the commencement of timber
harvesting or other significant forest management activities. The forest stewardship plan shall
include a provision that all forest management and harvesting activities be developed by, or in consultation with, the Virginia Department of Forestry, or be consistent with Virginia’s Forestry
Best Management Practices for Water Quality Guide or similar document. The primary purposes
of the forest stewardship plan may include, but need not be limited to, maintenance of the health
and biological diversity of the forest; management of woodlands to improve wildlife habitat;
forest stand management to maintain the health of the forest; management of timber for income; soil and water conservation; and preservation of historical and cultural resource.
2.11.2 Forest Management – Commercial: Clear-cutting is prohibited unless
appropriate under best management practices and with Grantee’s Prior Written Approval. Best
14
management practices, as defined by the Virginia Department of Forestry, shall be used to
control erosion and protect water quality when any forest management, timber harvesting, or
land clearing activity is undertaken for commercial purposes. The Grantor shall notify the
Grantee, in writing, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the start of any such activity for commercial purposes, and again within seven (7) days of its completion. All forestry activities shall comply with the aforementioned forest stewardship plan and shall be carried out so as to
preserve the Conservation Values of the property. The term “commercial purposes’ and the
provisions of Section 2.11.1 shall not be construed so as to prohibit the harvest of forest products
for personal or educational use by Grantor or The Miller School of Albemarle on the Property, such as lumber, firewood, and raw material for small-scale home industry or educational purposes, nor the incidental sale of forest products harvested in the exercise of Grantor’s
noncommercial cutting rights.
2.11.3 Forest Management – Non-Commercial: Grantor reserves the right to manage
forested land by selective cutting, pruning, and planting for noncommercial purposes, which may include forest management: for the creation of trails and recreational areas; for safety of users of the Property; for control of active fire, and prevention of fire and disease; for prevention or
removal of invasive species (as defined in the Virginia Department of Conservation and
Recreation’s publication “Invasive Alien Plant Species of Virginia,” or other independent and
authoritative source); for restoration or enhancement of wildlife habitat and riparian areas (as to riparian areas, subject to the Restrictions applicable to Buffer Strips in Section 2.10); for household gardening and landscaping; or for the general maintenance of the high scenic
character and healthy wildlife habitat of the Property. Grantor may create appropriate
construction clearings in association with the construction of permitted Buildings and Structures
listed in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this Article II.. Said construction clearings shall not be larger than 100 feet beyond the footprint of any permitted Building or Structure without Prior Written Approval from Grantee. Other than permitted construction clearings, no more than three other
new openings or clearings in the forest, which shall not be greater than 1,000 square feet, are
permitted for noncommercial purposes without the Grantee’s Prior Written Approval, with such
clearings permitted as necessary to safeguard the health of forested acreage, to prevent or mitigate greater harm to the Conservation Values of the Property, or to enhance wildlife habitat.
RESTRICTIONS REGARDING AGRICULTURAL USE. The following restrictions have been designed by the Land Trust of Virginia, the Grantor and the Grantor’s representatives
with conservation value protections in mind. The purpose of these restrictions is to prevent any
agricultural uses on the property that would diminish or impair conservation values listed in the deed, such as scenic open space values, natural resource values, historic landscape values, etc.:
2.12 LANDS IN AGRICULTURAL USE. As long as the Property is used for Agricultural purposes, it shall have, and shall be managed in accord with, a written Farm
Conservation Plan or similar document, which shall be prepared for the Property by, or in
consultation with, the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District or Natural
Resources Conservation Service representative, or a successor entity to either of the two
foregoing organizations, within six (6) months of the date hereof. The Farm Conservation Plan shall stipulate the use of best management practices for water quality protection, be approved in
advance by the Grantee, and may, from time to time, be modified or amended by mutual
15
agreement of the Grantor and Grantee, provided that said Farm Conservation Plan (or any
modification of amendment thereof) shall not be inconsistent with, adversely affect, conflict
with, diminish, impair, or interfere with the Conservation Purposes or Conservation Values
protected by this Easement.
