RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF
GENERAL OBLIGATION SCHOOL BONDS, SERIES 2005A,
OF THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE, VIRGINIA,
IN A PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $7,790,000
TO BE SOLD TO THE VIRGINIA PUBLIC SCHOOL AUTHORITY
AND PROVIDING FOR THE FORM AND DETAILS THEREOF
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) of the County of Albemarle, Virginia (the
“County”), has determined that it is necessary and expedient to borrow a principal amount not to exceed
$7,790,000 and to issue its general obligation school bonds for the purpose of financing certain capital
projects for school purposes; and
WHEREAS, the County has held a public hearing, duly noticed, on September 14, 2005, on the
issuance of the Bonds (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the requirements of Section 15.2-2606,
Code of Virginia 1950, as amended (the “Virginia Code”); and
WHEREAS, the School Board of the County has, by resolution, adopted on August 11, 2005,
requested the Board to authorize the issuance of the Bonds and consented to the issuance of the Bonds;
and
WHEREAS, the Bond Sale Agreement (as defined below) shall indicate that $7,790,000 is the
amount of proceeds requested (the “Proceeds Requested”) from the Virginia Public School Authority (the
“VPSA”) in connection with the sale of the Bonds; and
WHEREAS, the VPSA’s objective is to pay the County a purchase price for the Bonds which, in
VPSA’s judgment, reflects the Bonds’ market value (the “VPSA Purchase Price Objective”), taking into
consideration such factors as the amortization schedule the County has requested for the Bonds relative
to the amortization schedules requested by other localities, the purchase price to be received by VPSA
for its bonds and other market conditions relating to the sale of the VPSA’s bonds; and
WHEREAS, such factors may result in the Bonds having a purchase price other than par and
consequently (i) the County may have to issue a principal amount of Bonds that is less than the Proceeds
Requested but in no case greater than the Proceeds Requested in order to receive an amount of
proceeds that is substantially equal to the Proceeds Requested, or (ii) if the maximum authorized
principal amount of the Bonds set forth in Section 1 below does not exceed the Proceeds Requested by
at least the amount of any discount the purchase price to be paid to the County, given the VPSA
Purchase Price Objective and market conditions, will be less than the Proceeds Requested.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE
COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE, VIRGINIA:
1. Authorization of Bonds and Use of Proceeds. The Board hereby determines that it is
advisable to contract a debt and issue and sell its general obligation school bonds in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $7,790,000 (the “Bonds”) for the purpose of financing certain capital
projects for school purposes, including without limitation, the projects described in Exhibit B. The Board
hereby authorizes the issuance and sale of the Bonds in the form and upon the terms established
pursuant to this Resolution.
2. Sale of the Bonds. It is determined to be in the best interest of the County to accept the
offer of the VPSA to purchase from the County, and to sell to the VPSA, the Bonds at a price, determined
by the VPSA to be fair and accepted by the Chairman of the Board and the County Executive, either of
whom may act, that is substantially equal to the Proceeds Requested, except that the Bonds may be sold
9
for a purchase price not lower than 95% of the Proceeds Requested if issuing the Bonds in the maximum
principal amount authorized by Section 1 of this Resolution is insufficient, given the VPSA Purchase Price
Objective and market conditions, to generate an amount of proceeds substantially equal to the Proceeds
Requested. The Chairman of the Board and the County Executive, either of whom may act, and such
officer or officers of the County as either may designate, any of whom may act, are hereby authorized and
directed to enter into a Bond Sale Agreement dated as of September 28, 2005 (the “Bond Sale
Agreement”), with the VPSA providing for the sale of the Bonds to the VPSA. The Bond Sale Agreement
shall be in substantially the form submitted to the Board at this meeting, which form is hereby approved,
with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes not inconsistent with this Resolution as may be
approved by the officer executing the Bond Sale Agreement, his execution to constitute conclusive
evidence of his approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions and changes.
3. Details of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be dated the date of issuance and delivery of the
Bonds; shall be designated “General Obligation School Bonds, Series 2005A”; shall bear interest from the
date of delivery thereof payable semi-annually on each January 15 and July 15 beginning July 15, 2006
(each an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rates established in accordance with Section 4 of this
Resolution; and shall mature on July 15 in the years (each a “Principal Payment Date”) and in the
amounts as determined by the County Executive (the “Principal Installments”), subject to the provisions of
Section 4 of this Resolution.
4. Interest Rates and Principal Installments. The County Executive is hereby authorized
and directed to accept the interest rates on the Bonds established by the VPSA, provided that each
interest rate shall be ten one-hundredths of one percent (0.10%) over the interest rate to be paid by the
VPSA for the corresponding principal payment date of the bonds to be issued by the VPSA (the “VPSA
Bonds”), a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to purchase the Bonds, and provided further that
the true interest cost of the Bonds does not exceed five and thirty-five one-hundredths percent (5.35%)
per annum. The Interest Payment Dates are subject to change at the request of the VPSA. The County
Executive is hereby authorized and directed to accept changes in the Interest Payment Dates at the
request of the VPSA and to accept the Principal Installments requested by the VPSA, provided that the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds shall not exceed the amount authorized by this Resolution and
provided further that the final maturity of the Bonds occurs no later than December 31, 2025. The
execution and delivery of the Bonds as described in Section 8 hereof shall conclusively evidence such
interest rates established by the VPSA and Interest Payment Dates and the Principal Installments
requested by the VPSA as having been so accepted by the County Executive as authorized by this
Resolution.
5. Form of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be initially in the form of a single, temporary
typewritten bond substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
6. Payment; Paying Agent and Bond Registrar. The following provisions shall apply to

PROFFER STATEMENT
OLD TRAIL VILLAGE
Date: September 14, 2005
ZMA #: ZMA 2004-024 Old Trail Village
Tax Map Parcel Number: 55E-1-A1 (portion)
An approximately 237 acre portion of tax map parcel 055E0-01-00-000A1 is subject to rezoning
application ZMA 2004-024 and thus to this Proffer Statement (the “Property”). The Property is described
with more particularity on sheet 6 of 9 of the General Development Plan entitled “Old Trail Village
Rezoning ZMA-04-024 General Development Plan” prepared by Timmons Group, containing nine (9)
sheets, dated June 24, 2005, last revised September 12, 2005, and attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“General Development Plan”). The Owner of the Property is March Mountain Properties, L.L.C., a
Virginia limited liability company (the “Owner”).
The Owner hereby voluntarily proffers that if the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors acts to
rezone the Property to Neighborhood Model District as requested, the Owner shall develop the Property
in accord with the following proffers pursuant to Section 15.2-2298 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as
amended, and pursuant to Section 33.3 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. These conditions
are voluntarily proffered as part of the requested rezoning, and the Owner acknowledges that (1) the
rezoning itself gives rise to the need for the conditions; and (2) such conditions have a reasonable
relation to the rezoning requested. If rezoning application ZMA 2004-24 is denied, these proffers shall
immediately be null and void and of no further force and effect.
This Proffer Statement shall relate to the General Development Plan and to the Code of
Development dated September 12, 2005, and attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Code of Development”).
1. Green Space; Park Land and Greenway Dedication. The Owner shall devote a minimum of
twenty percent (20%) of the land within the Property to green space as shown on sheet 5 of 9 of the
General Development Plan. Of this green space land, within five (5) years after the date that ZMA 2004-
024 is approved by the County, or within thirty (30) days after the request of the County, whichever is
sooner, the Owner shall dedicate to the County for public use for parks and open space resources and for
a greenway, a 25-acre park, a 10.8-acre greenway area, and a 6.7-acre greenway area, each as further
shown on sheet 5 of 9 of the General Development Plan (collectively, the “Park and Greenway Area”).
After it is dedicated to public use, the Park and Greenway Area shall continue to be included in the total
area of green space and amenities within the Property. At the time of the conveyance and dedication, the
Park and Greenway Area land will be subject to the Architectural and Landscape Standards for Old Trail
Village, as provided in the Code of Development. The remaining green space land within the Property
that will not be dedicated to the County for public use shall be maintained by the Old Trail Owner’s
Association. The dedication of the Park and Greenway Area land shall be a fee simple interest in such
land. If the Park and Greenway Area land is not dedicated as part of a site plan or subdivision plat, the
Owner shall pay the costs of surveying the land and preparing the deed of dedication. The Owner shall
construct the trail through the 6.7-acre Greenway Area, as shown on sheet 5 of 9 of the General
Development Plan, within six (6) months after the approval by the County of the first subdivision plat or
site plan applicable to any portion of block 30 or 31. The trail shall be constructed to the County
standards for a Class A trail, with a surface of compacted stone dust.
2. Affordable Housing. The Owner shall provide affordable housing equal to fifteen percent (15%)
of the total residential units constructed on the Property, in the form of for-sale condominiums and
townhouses, and for-rent condominiums, townhouses, apartments and accessory units. The affordable
housing dwelling units shall be reasonably interspersed throughout the Property as provided in this
paragraph 2, subject to the requirements of the General Development Plan and the Code of
16
Development. If the Owner elects at its option to provide for-sale single family detached units at
affordable rates (as defined herein), such units shall be applied toward the 15% requirement. Each
subdivision plat and site plan for land within the Property shall designate the lots or units, as applicable,
that will, subject to the terms and conditions of this proffer, incorporate affordable units as described
herein, and the aggregate number of such lots or units designated for affordable units within each
subdivision plat and site plan shall constitute a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the lots in such
subdivision plat or site plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Owner may “carry-over” or
“bank” credits for affordable units in the event an individual subdivision plat or site plan designates
affordable units that in the aggregate exceed the fifteen percent (15%) minimum for such subdivision plat
or site plan, and such additional affordable units may be allocated toward the fifteen percent (15%)
minimum on any future subdivision plat or site plan, provided however, that the maximum number of
affordable units that may be carried over or banked shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total
units on any subdivision plat or site plan.
The Owner shall convey the responsibility of constructing the affordable units to the subsequent
owners of lots within the Property. The subsequent owner/builder shall create units affordable to
households with incomes less than eighty percent (80%) of the area median income such that housing
costs consisting of principal, interest, real estate taxes and homeowners insurance (PITI) do not exceed
thirty percent (30%) of the gross household income.
A. For-Sale Affordable Units. All purchasers of the for-sale affordable units shall be
approved by the Albemarle County Housing Office or its designee. The subsequent owner/builder shall
provide the County or its designee a period of ninety (90) days to identify and prequalify an eligible
purchaser for the affordable units. The ninety (90)-day period shall commence upon written notice from
the then-current owner/builder that the unit(s) will be available for sale. If the County or its designee does
not provide a qualified purchaser during this ninety (90)-day period, the then-current owner/builder shall
have the right to sell the unit(s) without any restriction on sales price or income of the purchaser(s). This
proffer shall apply only to the first sale of each of the for-sale affordable units.
B. For-Rent Affordable Units.
(1). Rental Rates. The initial net rent for each for-rent affordable unit shall not
exceed the then-current and applicable maximum net rent rate approved by the County Housing Office.
In each subsequent calendar year, the monthly net rent for each for-rent affordable unit may be increased
up to three percent (3%). For purposes of this proffer statement, the term “net rent” means that the rent
does not include tenant-paid utilities. The requirement that the rents for such for-rent affordable units
may not exceed the maximum rents established in his paragraph 2B shall apply for a period of five (5)
years following the date the certificate of occupancy is issued by the County for each for-rent affordable
unit, or until the units are sold as low or moderate cost units qualifying as such under either the Virginia
Housing Development Authority, Farmers Home Administration, or Housing and Urban Development,
Section 8, whichever comes first (the “Affordable Term”).
(2). Conveyance of Interest. All deeds conveying any interest in the for-rent
affordable units during the Affordable Term shall contain language reciting that such unit is subject to the
terms of this paragraph 2. In addition, all contracts pertaining to a conveyance of any for-rent affordable
unit, or any part thereof, during the Affordable Term shall contain a complete and full disclosure of the
restrictions and controls established by this paragraph 2B. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
conveyance of any interest in any for-rent affordable unit during the Affordable Term, the then-current
owner shall notify the County in writing of the conveyance and provide the name, address and telephone
number of the potential grantee, and state that the requirements of this paragraph 2B(2) have been
satisfied.
(3). Reporting Rental Rates. During the Affordable Term, within thirty (30) days of
each rental or lease term for each for-rent affordable unit, the then-current owner shall provide to the
Albemarle County Housing Office a copy of the rental or lease agreement for each such unit rented that
shows the rental rate for such unit and the term of the rental or lease agreement. In addition, during the
Affordable Term, the then-current Owner shall provide to the County, if requested, any reports, copies of
rental or lease agreements, or other data pertaining to rental rates as the County may reasonably require.
17
C. Mixture of Types of Affordable Units.
(1). At least forty percent (40%) of the affordable housing dwelling units shall be for-
sale units.
(2). No more than thirty percent (30%) of the affordable housing dwelling units may
be for-rent apartments.
(3). No more than thirty percent (30%) of the affordable housing dwelling units may
be accessory units. For purposes of this proffer statement, “accessory units” shall mean Accessory
Apartments as defined in the Albemarle County Code, Chapter 18, Section 3.1, and as regulated by the
Albemarle County Code, Chapter 18, Section 5.1.34, and a unit within a two-family dwelling as a two-
family dwelling is defined in the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
3. Cash Proffer for School Projects. For each dwelling unit constructed on the Property, the
Owner shall contribute cash to Albemarle County for funding school projects within the Community of
Crozet and shown on the County’s Capital Improvements Program, as follows: one thousand dollars
($1,000.00) for each single family detached unit, five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each townhouse unit,
and two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) for each multifamily unit. The cash contribution for each dwelling
unit shall be paid at the time of the issuance of the building permit for such dwelling unit. If the cash
contribution has not been exhausted by the County for the stated purpose within ten (10) years from the
date of the issuance of the last residential building permit within the Property, all unexpended funds shall
be refunded to the Owner.
4. Cash Proffer for Park Master Plan. Within one (1) year after the date that ZMA 2004-024 is
approved, or within thirty (30) days after the request by the County, whichever is sooner, the Owner shall
make a cash contribution to the County in the amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) for the
purpose of funding a master plan for the 25-acre park land shown on sheet 5 of 9 of the General
Development Plan (the “Park Master Plan”). If the Park Master Plan is completed for less than fifty
thousand dollars ($50,000.00), any remaining funds may be retained by the County and used to fund
parks and recreation projects and improvements as described in paragraph 5. If such cash contribution is
not expended for the Park Master Plan within two (2) years from the date of the contribution, all
unexpended funds shall be refunded to the Owner; provided that any portion of the cash contribution not
required to fund the Park Master Plan that is retained by the County as provided herein, shall be refunded
to the Owner as provided in paragraph 5 if such funds are not expended within the time provided therein.
5. Cash Proffer for Park Projects. For each dwelling unit constructed on the Property, the Owner
shall contribute cash to Albemarle County for funding parks and recreation projects and improvements
identified on the County’s Capital Improvements Program within the Park and Greenway Area in general
accord with the Park Master Plan as available funding allows, as follows: one thousand dollars
($1,000.00) for each single family detached unit, five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each townhouse unit,
and two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) for each multifamily unit. Notwithstanding the terms of this
paragraph 5 to the contrary, however, the Owner shall receive a “credit” against the first fifty thousand
dollars ($50,000.00) that would otherwise be owed to the County pursuant to this paragraph 5, in
recognition of the cash proffer referenced in paragraph 4. In the event the cash proffer referenced in
paragraph 4 is not sufficient to fund the Park Master Plan, the County may apply a portion of the cash
proffer described in this paragraph 5 as required to fully fund the Park Master Plan. If the County
determines it to be a more reasonable use of funds, the County may substitute facilities shown on the
Park Master Plan or locate facilities shown on the Park Master Plan elsewhere in the Community of
Crozet. The cash contribution for each dwelling unit shall be paid at the time of the issuance of the
building permit for such dwelling unit. If the cash contribution has not been exhausted by the County for
the stated purpose within ten (10) years from the date of the issuance of the last residential building
permit within the Property, all unexpended funds shall be refunded to the Owner.
6. Phasing of Retail Development. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the five hundredth
(500th) dwelling unit within the Property, the aggregate retail space within the Property shall not exceed
forty-eight thousand (48,000) square feet. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the one
thousandth (1000th) dwelling unit within the Property, the aggregate retail space within the Property shall
not exceed ninety-six thousand (96,000) square feet. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the
18
one thousand five hundredth (1,500th) dwelling unit within the Property, the aggregate retail space within
the Property shall not exceed one hundred forty-four thousand (144,000) square feet. Prior to the
issuance of a building permit for the two thousandth (2,000th) dwelling unit within the Property, the
aggregate retail space within the Property shall not exceed one hundred ninety-two thousand (192,000)
square feet. Retail space shall not include office space or any health and fitness facility.
7. Overlot Grading Plan. The Owner shall submit an overlot grading plan meeting the
requirements of this section (hereinafter, the “Plan”) with the application for each subdivision of the single
family detached and single family attached dwelling units shown on the General Development Plan. The
Plan shall show existing and proposed topographic features to be considered in the development of the
proposed subdivision. The Plan shall be approved by the County Engineer prior to final approval of the
subdivision plat. The subdivision shall be graded as shown on the approved Plan. No certificate of
occupancy shall be issued for any dwelling on a lot where the County Engineer has determined the lot is
not graded consistent with the approved grading Plan. The Plan shall satisfy the following:
A. The Plan shall show all proposed streets, building sites, surface drainage, driveways,
trails, and other features the County Engineer determines are needed to verify that the Plan satisfies the
requirements of this paragraph 7.
B. The Plan shall be drawn to a scale not greater than one (1) inch equals fifty (50) feet.
C. All proposed grading shall be shown with contour intervals not greater than two (2) feet.
All concentrated surface drainage over lots shall be clearly shown with the proposed grading. All
proposed grading shall be shown to assure that surface drainage can provide adequate relief from the
flooding of dwellings in the event a storm sewer fails.
D. Graded slopes on lots proposed to be planted with turf grasses (lawns) shall not exceed
a gradient of three (3) feet of horizontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (3:1). Steeper
slopes shall be vegetated with low maintenance vegetation as determined to be appropriate by the
County’s program authority in its approval of an erosion and sediment control Plan for the land disturbing
activity. These steeper slopes shall not exceed a gradient of two (2) feet of horizontal distance for each
one (1) foot of vertical rise or fall (2:1), unless the County Engineer finds that the grading
recommendations for steeper slopes have adequately addressed the impacts.
E. Surface drainage may flow across up to three (3) lots before being collected in a storm
sewer or directed to a drainage way outside of the lots.
F. No surface drainage across a residential lot shall have more than one-half (1/2) acre of
land draining to it.
G. All drainage from streets shall be carried across lots in a storm sewer to a point beyond
the rear of the building site.
H. The Plan shall demonstrate that driveways to lots will not be steeper than twenty (20)
percent unless certified by an engineer that the driveway at the proposed steepness would be safe and
convenient for vehicles (including emergency vehicles) to use the driveway, and shall include grading
transitions at the street that the agent determines will allow passenger vehicles to avoid scraping the
vehicle body on the driveway or the street. Additionally, the driveway grading shall provide an area in
front of the proposed garage, or an area proposed for vehicle parking where no garage is proposed, that
is not less than eighteen (18) feet in length that will be graded no steeper than eight (8) percent.
I. The Plan shall demonstrate that an area at least ten (10) feet in width, or to the lot line if it
is less than (10) feet, from the portion of the structure facing the street, has grades no steeper than ten
(10) percent adjacent to possible entrances to dwellings that will not be served by a stairway. This
graded area also shall extend from the entrances to the driveways or walkways connecting the dwelling to
the street.
J. Any requirement of this condition may be waived by the County Engineer by submitting a
waiver request with the preliminary plat. If such a request is made, it shall include: (i) a justification for the
19
request contained in a certified engineer’s report; (ii) a vicinity map showing a larger street network at a
scale no smaller than one (1) inch equals six hundred (600) feet; (iii) a conceptual plan at a scale no
smaller than one (1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet showing surveyed boundaries of the property; (iv)
topography of the property at five (5) foot intervals for the property being subdivided and on abutting
lands to a distance of five hundred (500) feet from the boundary line or a lesser distance determined to be
sufficient by the agent; (v) the locations of streams, stream buffers, steep slopes, floodplains, known
wetlands; and (vi) the proposed layout of streets and lots, unit types, uses, and location of parking, as
applicable. In reviewing a waiver request, the County Engineer shall consider whether the alternative
proposed by the Owner satisfies the purpose of the requirement to be waived to at least an equivalent
degree. In approving a waiver, the County Engineer shall find that requiring compliance with the
requirement of this condition would not forward the purposes of the County’s Subdivision and Water
Protection Ordinances or otherwise serve the public interest; and granting the waiver would not be
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, to the orderly development of the Project, and to the
land adjacent thereto.
K. The Owner may request that the Plan be amended at any time. All amendments shall be
subject to the review and approval by the County Engineer.
L. In the event that the County adopts overlot grading regulations after the date ZMA 2004-
024 is approved, any requirement of those regulations that is less restrictive than any requirement of this
paragraph 7 shall supersede the corresponding requirement of this paragraph, subject to the approval of
the Director of the Department of Community Development.
8. Construction of School Connections. The Owner shall construct the pathway connections to
the schools, shown as “Pathway Connection to Schools,” and “Road and Sidewalk Connection to
Schools” on sheet 5 of 9 of the General Development Plan, within six (6) months after the approval by the
County of the first subdivision plat or site plan applicable to any portion of a block that either includes or is
adjacent to any such connection.
