William Orr (owner). Public Hearing on request for an outdoor theater of
approx 2000 seats on 63.045 acs zoned RA. Property on W side of Milton Rd (Rt
729) approx 0.4 mi S of N Milton Rd & Milton Rd (Rt 729/Rt 732). Scottsville
Dist. (Applicant requested indefinite deferral.)
Mr. Bain made motion, seconded by Mrs. Humphris, to defer SP-92-63, for
1781 Productions, Ltd., to February 17, 1993.
Mr. Marshall said he met with Mr. McRaven and, even though the applicant
is requesting an indefinite proposal, he informed him that there would be no
circumstances under which he could support this request. He thinks Mr.
McRaven is planning to withdraw this application and is presently looking for
another location.
There being no further discussion, roll was called and the motion
carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Perkins, Bain, Bowerman, Mrs. Humphris and Mr. Marshall.
NAYS: None.
ABSENT: Mr. Martin.
Agenda Item No. 7. SP-92-61. Charlottesville Cellular Part (applicant)
Henry Chiles & Virginia Chiles Kaith (owner). Public Hearing on a request to
replace existing communication tower on 209.90 acs zoned P~A. Property located
on Castle Rock Mountain. TM97,P16. Samuel Miller Dist. (Advertised in the
Daily Progress on November 24, 1992 and December 1, 1992.)
Mr. Cilimberg summarized the staff report which is on file in the
Clerk's office and a part of the permanent records of the Board. The
applicant is proposing to replace an existing 150 foot private communication
tower with a new 150 foot tower for transmission and reception of cellular and
microwave radio signals. There will be a minor realignment of an existing
right-of-way, construction of a concrete foundation and a 12 x 20 foot
transmitter building. After initial construction, access to the tower will
average one trip per month. The tower will be designed to accommodate a total
of at least four users one of which is the present user. No "strobe" type
lighting of the tower is proposed and F. C. C. authorization has been
obtained.
Staff recommends approval of SP-92-61, subject to the following
conditions:
4 o
Tower height shall not exceed 150 feet;
The existing tower shall be removed;
Staff approval of additional antennae installation. No
administrative approval shall constitute or imply support
for or approval of, the location of additional tower
antennae, etc., even if they may be part of the same network
of system as any antennae administratively approved under
this section;
Compliance with Section 5.1.12 of the Zoning Ordinance;
There shall be no lighting of the tower unless required by a
federal agency;
Administrative approval of sketch plan in general accord
with plan dated August 20, 1992, by Balzer and Associates in
this report (on file).
Mr. Cilimberg said the Planning Commission, at its meeting on November
17, 1992, unanimously recommended approval of SP-92-61 subject to the
conditions recommended by staff and an amended condition number six as
follows:
Administrative approval of sketch plan in general accord
with plan dated August 20, 1992 by Balzer and Associates in
this report (on file) and administrative approval of erosion
control plan, if applicable.
December 9, 1992 (Regular Night Meeting)
(Page 4)
M.B. 43, Pg. 50
Mr. Cilimberg said the Planning Commission also noted that although the
sketch plan indicates only 7500 square feet of area would be disturbed, the
County Engineer believes the project may actually result in over 10,000 square
feet of disturbed area. Should the applicant violate the 10,000 square foot
limit, this amended condition lets him know that he must comply with erosion
and sedimentation regulations.
Mr. Bain asked how long the existing tower had been on the property.
Mr. Perkins said 25 years. Mr. Bain asked why staff did not recommend no
lighting as a condition. The applicant can always come back to the Board with
a request if lighting is necessary. Mr. Cilimberg said condition number five
could be amended to state no lighting. Mr. Cilimberg said lighting is not
required at this point and would only be allowed if a federal agency were to
require it.
Mr. Bowerman then opened the public hearing.
Mr. Richard Carter, representing the applicant, said the F. C. C. and
F. A. A. does not require the tower to be lighted. The structure closes to
the tower is approximately 14,000 feet. The tower is to be located on the top
of a mountain. The applicant is in agreement with the staff report and does
not feel the tower will impact the area. This request, if approved, will
improve cellular telephone service. The tower is designed to accommodate
additional users. An engineer from Cellular One, is present and would be
happy to answer any questions Board members may have.
There being no further comments from the public, the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Bain said he has no problems with supporting the request, but would
like to delete the words "unless required by a federal agency" from condition
five. There was no opposition from Board members.
Mr. Bain made motion, seconded by Mrs. Humphris, to approve SP-92-61
subject to the following conditions. Roll was called and the motion carried
by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Perkins, Bain, Bowerman, Mrs. Humphris and Mr. Marshall.
NAYS: None.
ABSENT: Mr. Martin·
The conditions of approval for SP-92-61 are as follows:
1. Tower height shall not exceed 150 feet;
2. The existing tower shall be removed;
Staff approval of additional antennae installations. No
administrative approval shall constitute or imply support
for or approval of, the location of additional tower
antenna, etc., even if they may be part of the same network

Agenda Item No. 8. SP-91-57. First Gold Leaf Land Trust. Public
Hearing on request to establish outdoor display & storage of autos on 7.08 ac
zoned HC & EC. Property on E side of Seminole Traile (Rt 29) approx 0.2 mi S
of inters of Rt 29 & Carrsbrook Dr. TM45,P'slll,lllA&lllB. Charlottesville
Dist. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on November 24, 1992 and December 1,
1992.)
Mr. Cilimberg summarized the staff report which is on file in the
Clerk's office and a part of the permanent records of the Board. The
applicant is proposing to develop an auto dealership on the site. A site plan
for development accompanies the special use permit and has been submitted and
reviewed by the Site Review Committee. The Architectural Review Board (ARB)
has not reviewed the latest revised plan but has reviewed the use. Staff has
reviewed this request for compliance with Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance and recommends denial of SP-91-57.
Mr. Cilimberg said the Planning Commission, at its meeting on November
17, 1992, unanimously recommended denial of SP-91-57.
Mr. Bowerman asked if there is fill activity going off of this site.
Mr. Cilimberg responded "yes." Mr. Bowerman asked how much outdoor parking
was shown on the first plan. Mr. Cilimberg said the total customer parking
was 25 and display lots were approximately 125.
December 9, 1992 (Regular Night Meeting) M.B. 43, Pg. 5!
(Page 5)
Mr. Marshall asked why this request was before the Board since the
property is zoned Highway Commercial (HC) and has certain by-right uses on
this property. Mr. Bowerman said the only reason this request is before the
Board is because it is a request for an outdoor display in an entrance
corridor and requires a special use permit.
Mr. Marshall asked what uses could be put on this property. Mr.
Cilimberg said there are a number of uses such as hotels. None of the uses
allow outdoor storage or display. All uses are subject to ARB review.
Mr. Bowerman opened the public hearing.
Mr. David Walsh, representing the applicant, said the applicant has
tried to work with County staff and the residents to come up with a good plan.
The applicant feels he has gone the extra mile to compromise on this proposal.
On December 8, 1991, before this request went to the Commission, the applicant
sent the plan to the adjacent property owners and asked for comments. He has
met with some of the adjacent owners and walked over the site with them. The
applicant has been able to reach a compromise with the Albemarle County
Service Authority. This request has come before the Board five times. The
first time, the applicant thought there would be a recommendation from the
Board so he prepared a simple plan. The ARB, at that time, did not even want
to review the plan because it felt it was incomplete and needed more site
information. The next time the ARB saw the plan, it decided not to make a
recommendation and forwarded the plan to this Board. The Board returned the
plan t the ARB and asked for a recommendation. On March 31, 1992, the
applicant again submitted a plan to the ARB. A lot of site issues were
discussed. The applicant made the changes the ARB requested and resubmitted a
new site plan. At the ARB's meeting on March 4, 1992, the ARB requested
several other major alterations to the site plan. Again, the applicant made
the alterations and resubmitted another site plan on September 15, 1992. The
ARB then raised more concerns. It seemed the applicant kept changing the site
plan, but was not getting anywhere. The ARB then asked for more detailed
information; information prior to the special use permit that the applicant
felt was premature. There would have been a lot of engineering involved. A
plan was then resubmitted to the ARB and the site was not considered. The ARB
looked at the proposal from a general standpoint and made a recommendation.
Mr. Walsh feels that the ARB has not been acting in good faith. He feels
that the applicant was led around for no reason and this determination could
have been made with the information that was first presented. Everyone else
has agreed to compromise except the ARB. The adjacent property owners have
been offered a compromise, but have not notified the applicant as to whether
they will accept the offer. The applicant has tried to compromise in every
possible instance.
Mr. Bowerman said this plan before the Board shows a major increase in
the number of outdoor spaces as compared to the first plan. Mr. Walsh said
the adjacent property owners have never told the applicant what changes they
would agree to. He feels the property owners would like to see the project
done away with altogether. Mr. Bowerman asked if tripling the outdoor display
is consistent with trying to meet the needs and concerns of the property
owners. Mr. Walsh said the buffering around the property has been increased.
Mr. Frank Rice, a resident of Carrsbrook and President of Carrsbrook
Neighborhood Association, said he submitted a letter to the Board regarding
this request (on file). The initial difference between the plan the Board is
considering and the one considered last year is the vast increased size of the
project. The slope is greater than it was last year and can only intensify
the problems and concerns which were considered by the Board. The primary
reason that SP-91-57 is before this Board is because the plan entails
significant outdoor display. The plan last year provided for a total of 159
parking places, whereas the revised plan calls for 473 parking places. He
feels the total area to be developed is insane; it went from 2.4 acres of
impervious coverage to over 3.5 acres of impervious coverage. This is almost
exactly a 50 percent increase of impervious coverage and nearly a 200 percent
increase in the outdoor display area. As outdoor display was a matter of
concern last year, in the light of the significant increase, certainly, it is
of greater concern now.
Mr. Tice said the enormous scope of the plan and what it entails will
require massive cut and fill. The entire site will be reconstructed with the
obvious aesthetical results and destruction of everything in the area and
complete change. The request will have a negative impact on wetlands, sewage
disposal, drainage, disposal of chemical wastes, light, noise and intrusion
into the neighborhoods. All of these things will exist and will be
exaggerated because of the increased size of the fill operation. All of this
has been discussed in letters submitted to this Board, the Planning Commission
and the ARB last year. Any construction done on this particular site will
adversely impact the wetlands, streams and ponds that are downstream from the
site where the development would occur. Construction in an area, this close
to a residential area will inevitably destroy the ponds.
VDoT has an easement on this property and if it takes a portion of this
site, that would diminish the amount of land that could be used as a buffer to
screen the highway from the outdoor car display.
Mr. rice said the lot immediately to the north of the proposed site, and
adjacent to Route 29 North, is zoned by the commercial office (CO), but is
December 9, 1992 (Regular Night Meeting)
(Page 6)
M.B. 43, Pg. 52
protected by Carrsbrook deed restrictions which has it deeded as residential.
The property will remain residential. There will be a massive excavation
process carved out which will completely destroy the existing terrain,
topography, trees, brush, shrubs, etc. This is aesthetically disastrous. It
would be a detriment to Carrsbrook residents to approve this request. The
proposed development would also involve radical, aesthetical damage that would
change the character of the district. The proposed development would not be
in harmony with the Zoning Ordinance which calls for design to facilitate the
creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious community. The proposed
development would require 3.5 acres of asphalt covered with 473 used cars, in
full view of Route 29 North, it would not be in harmony with the uses
permitted by-right in the EC district and would be inconsistent with the
rational behind provisions of the EC district. This proposal is not in the
general welfare of the public.
Mr. Rice asked all persons present who were in agreement with his
statement to stand. Everyone present stood.
Mr. Marshall asked if the residents would be opposed to some other
business put on this property such as McDonalds. Mr. Rice said the residents
would have no right to be opposed to that because it would be by-right. The
residents want to make sure their concerns and interests are considered.
Mr. Bowerman asked if the residents object to the scale of this proposed
development rather than the specific use of outdoor display. Mr. Rice said
the residents object to the outdoor display and the problems associated with
the presence of 473 cars. This project would require massive earth moving.
This project would virtually destroy the ponds that exist in the eastern
portion of Carrsbrook. Mr. Bowerman commented that it is quite possible that
a by-right use would entail as much earth moving as the proposal before the
Board tonight. In that regard, the affect on the Carrsbrook and Woodbrook
communities could also be quite massive. Mr. Rice said the residents know
what damage this plan would do. The residents would, in principle, object to
any project that would adversely affect the communities in which they live.
This proposal does give them the legal forum and they have the opportunity to
ask this Board to deny the request because of its adverse impact to the
residents of Carrsbrook and Woodbrook, as well as the negative aesthetic
impact it would have on the County at-large. This is the sole remaining
wooded area south of the Rivanna River on Route 29 North that breaks up all of
the commercial development.
Mr. Don Swofford, a resident of 321 Dover Road, said he has lived in
Carrsbrook for six years and has been an architect for 20 years. He thinks
the proposal before the Board tonight is a good example of how the ARB is
working for the County. All of the comments that Mr. Rice has made, the
comments from the ARB and from citizens of the County indicate that there is
something special here in the County that should be protected. By-right there
are alternatives and there is a way to develop the site.
Mr. Jim Mooney, a resident of Woodbrook Subdivision, said it has been
approximately a year since this request last came before this Board, at which
time, residents of Woodbrook and Carrsbrook raised a lot of issues. The
residents do not want to see this project developed on this site. This is not
to say that the residents would be opposed to something being put here, but
they are against the scale of this development. Looking through the Planning
files he found that the first submission for this request asked for 66 parking
spaces and the request is now seven times that size. Secondly, the residents
are against the damage this project will cause. Over the years there have
been continuous problems with the lakes in Carrsbrook. The residents are also
against this proposal because of the scope of this development and the
tremendous paving. Mr. Mooney then discussed sewage system problems that are
on-going in Woodbrook. This proposal will only add to those problems. He
urged the Board to deny the request.
There being no further comments from the public, the public hearing was
closed at 8:13 p.m.
Mr. Bowerman said he was at the ARB meeting when this issue was
discussed. He explained to the Board how he felt the ARB arrived at its
decision. He agrees with the ARB's recommendation and will not support the
request.
Mr. Bain said he thinks the magnitude of the proposal is the real issue.
This is a commercial use and he feels it can be done to accommodate the
property owner and give him a return on his investment while also
accommodating the residents and the entrance corridor.
Mr. Marshall said he is concerned about the adjacent property owners.
This Board must protect the adjacent property owners. That is what the ARB is
doing and he agrees with Mr. Bowerman.
Mrs. Humphris made motion, seconded by Mr. Marshall, to deny SP-91-57.
Mr. Bain said he will support the motion, but his vote is specifically
limited to the aesthetic considerations set out in the ordinance.
There bein9 no further discussion, roll was called and the motion
carried by the following recorded vote:

NAYS: None.

Agenda Item No. 9. Comprehensive Services Act for At-Risk Children and
Families.
Mr. Tucker gave the following staff report:
"BACKGROUND: The Comprehensive Services Act for At-Risk Youth and
Families, passed by the 1992 General Assembly, will restructure
the way certain public social services are funded and delivered,
starting July 1, 1993. It is intended to simplify funding and
increase interagency collaboration in providing services.
DISCUSSION: Nine separate funding sources, presently allocated to
four different public agencies (Social Services, Mental Health,
Juvenile Court Services Units, and public schools), will be
combined into a single State pool and allocated to local
governments under a new formula. Local matching funds will be
based on the JLARC 'ability to pay' formula in use for the Health
Department. A State Trust Fund has also been created to provide
'seed money' for new services in some local communities to be
awarded starting January 1, 1993, on a competitive proposal basis.
Albemarle and Charlottesville have submitted a grant proposal for
$300,000. Spending these funds will become the responsibility of
a Community Policy and Management Team, an interagency group to be
appointed by the local governing body.
Each local governing body is required to certify to the state that
it is in compliance with the requirements of the Act. The
certification is in two parts, the first of which must be provided
by January 1, 1993, in order for a locality to accept a Trust Fund
Grant, if it is offered one. Part 2 is due by May 1 and is
required to receive the initial State pool allocation on July 1st.
The Act encourages inter-jurisdictional collaboration and allows
localities to decide whether to implement the Act individually or
together or with other jurisdictions. The County and the City of
Charlottesville already have a cooperative interagency service
system for youth and families called the Charlottesville-Albemarle
Interagency Network (CHAIN), established in 1989, which is nearly
identical to what is required by the Act. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the County and City certify as a multi-
jurisdictional district to continue this collaborative
relationship. City Council is expected to vote on this on Monday,
December 7, 1992.
RECOMMENDATION: Part 1 certification for the Comprehensive
Services Act for At-Risk Youth and Families has four components
requiring action by local governing bodies.
Establish Jurisdictional boundaries. The locality must
specify whether it will be a single or multi-jurisdictional
district for implementing the Act. Certifying as a multi-
jurisdictional district means that one Community Policy and
Management Team (CPMT) will be appointed to represent
multiple localities in the planning and delivery of
services.
Staff recommendation: Certify that Albemarle County and the
City of Charlottesville will cooperate as a multi-
jurisdictional district.
Desiqnate fiscal aqent. Multi-jurisdictional districts must
designate a single fiscal agent to receive and audit state
funds under the Act. Each locality's state pool allocation
would still be accounted for separately.
Staff recommendation: Certify the City of
Charlottesville's Director of Finance as fiscal agent.
Desiqnate leqal counsel. The Act requires that local
governments designate legal counsel to support the work of
the CPMT.
Staff recommendation: Certify Charlottesville's City
Attorney as legal counsel.
ApDoint the Community Policy and Manaqement Team (CPMT}.
The Act requires that the directors (or their designees) of
five public agencies be appointed. These persons are
December 9, 1992 (Regular Night Meeting)
(Page 8)
M.B. 43, Pg. 54
already serving as the Administrative Team of CHAIN, and
staff recommends they be appointed to the CPMT.
Department of Social Services: Karen L. Morris,
Director (the City of Charlottesville will appoint its
Social Services Director)
Community Services Board: James R. Peterson,
Executive Director
Juvenile Court Services Unit: Martha D. Carroll,
Director
Local school division: Thomas F. Nash, Director of
Instructional Services (the City of Charlottesville
will appoint its school representative)
Department of Health: Susan L. McLeod, Director
The Act also requires that a parent and a representative of
private agency service providers be appointed. Staff

"BACKGROUND: In response to the Board's request at the December 2

stipend for the Chairperson, is set solely by State Code, Section
22.1-32. The statute enables any school board 'after passage of
an appropriate resolution by the governing body' to pay the
chairperson an additional salary not to exceed $1100. Prior to a
1989 amendment, the limit on the stipend was $500.
If approved, the resolution below will give the School Board the
authority to raise the level of the stipend. It does not require
any action at the County ordinance level. The additional stipend
