Dear Ms. Engle:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on August 10, 2004, by a vote of 5:0,
recommended approval of the above -noted petition to the Board of Supervisors. Please note that this
approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. Maximum enrollment shall be 12 students per class, with class start and end times staggered on
minimum of 1/2 hour increments.
2. Normal hours of operation for the school shall be from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM provided that occasional

RE: SP -2004-00021 Margaret Engle, Ballet School (Sign #30)
Tax Map 60, Parcels 25A and 25B
Dear Ms. Engle:
On September 1, 2004, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP -2004-00021 to allow
a private Ballet School in accordance with Section 22.2.2.6 of the Zoning Ordinance on Tax Map 60,
Parcels 25A and 25B in the Samuel Miller Magisterial district. This special use permit was approved based
on the following conditions:
1. Maximum enrollment shall be twelve (12) students per class, with class start and end times
staggered on minimum one-half (1/2) hour increments;
2. Hours of operation for the school shall be from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday thru Friday and 9:00
AM to Noon Saturday, provided that occasional school -related events may occur outside of these
hours; and
3. A pedestrian path for public use shall be constructed along the Route 250 frontage as shown on
the Concept Plan dated August 24, 2004 prepared by the County of Albemarle and based on the
site map prepared by Muncaster Engineering dated July 29, 2003. The path shall be maintained by
the property owner. The path shall be no less than five (5) feet in width, except where existing
landscaping or utilities prevent the full five (5) feet width. Subsurface shall be four to five (4-5)
inches of crushed stone and the surface shall be asphalt, prime and seal, recycled pavement or
any other alternative hard surface approved by the County Engineer. Upon request of the County,
the owner shall convey an easement to the County granting public access upon the pedestrian
path. This pedestrian path may be removed and the easement, if granted, may be released when
a sidewalk is constructed within the Route 250 West right of way. Such path shall be constructed
and available for public use or bonded prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Ballet
School.
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on the
project noted above, no uses on the property may lawfully begin until all applicable approvals have
been received and conditions have been met. This includes:
compliance with conditions of the SPECIAL PERMIT;
approval of a ZONING COMPLIANCE CLEARANCE.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued is not commenced
within twenty-four (24) months from the date of Board approval, it shall be deemed abandoned and the
permit terminated. The term "commenced" means "construction of any structure necessary to the use of
the permit."
If you have questions or comments regarding the above -noted action, please do not hesitate to contact
Keith Lancaster at 296-5832.
