Although we didn't and couldn't provide the Commission with a written update last week, David did think it would be best to give them an opportunity to begin learning about the ongoing staff analysis (and updated staff recommendations) prior to the public hearing — even if it only reached their inbox a few hours before the meeting begins. I hope this info is helpful and reflective of our extensive coordination over the past several weeks. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have prior to the public hearing this evening. One final issue is how to handle the special exception request to waive the full cutoff requirements. If we're still in agreement that the outdoor athletic lighting will be selected and installed/operated in a way that complies with the full cutoff requirements, which would make that special exception request unnecessary, then you may want to consider withdrawing that particular special exception request. Without withdrawing that special exception request, the PC may have to evaluate that request and take a vote to provide a formal recommendation to the BOS. Alternately, if you withdraw that one request, the PC's evaluation would presumably be focused on the remaining special exception request (relating to the proposed 70' max height of the poles). Just something to consider before the hearing tonight, if possible (and if not, we'll simply discuss it during the hearing). Thanks very much --- Tim Padalino, AICP Albemarle County I Community Development Dept.

I apologize for the timing of this new information; however, this update is a function of some extenuating circumstances, including a staff error in the notification process. We've been working diligently on this updated analysis and recommendations for the past two weeks, right up until this "11th hour." I hope this staff update, and the updated recommendations contained within, are both clear and helpful. I will endeavor to provide an updated staff report tonight as clearly and concisely as possible; and I/we welcome any and all of your questions during the agenda item. I will also try to provide assistance this afternoon as best I can, upon request.
