Kaine has secured the necessary agreements with the host railroads, Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express, and the Commonwealth Transportation Board has appropriated the funds to operate Lynchburg-DC intercity passenger service for three years as a Demonstration Project; and WHEREAS, VDRPT recently released the approved schedule for the Lynchburg-DC train, but this schedule is not useful for the business traveler or for a day trip to Washington, D.C., having a 7:43 a.m. departure from Lynchburg and 11:20 a.m. arrival in Washington; and WHEREAS, according to DRPT, “…the actual schedule for the new trains was developed based on the available time slots for new trains to be added in each corridor and compatibility with Amtrak Northeast Corridor service schedules, as defined in the agreements executed with the applicable host railroads and Amtrak.” ; and WHEREAS, with the approved schedule, the Lynchburg-DC train will add to the rail options available for recreational travelers and others making extended stays, but will perpetuate the existing situation wherein passenger rail is of limited utility to the business, professional, academic, government and defense-related sectors of the Charlottesville and Central Virginia region, and will not serve the citizens of the US29 corridor who would choose the train for a day-trip to Washington, D.C. if an early morning arrival were available; and WHEREAS, in order to demonstrate success and to justify future investments in the corridor, the ridership for the Lynchburg-DC train must materialize; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, urges VDRPT to closely monitor ridership performance of the Lynchburg-DC train, providing origin and destination figures during the first year to determine if it is meeting expectations, as well as support the conduct of a comprehensive, valid market study to determine if a peak hour schedule, such as the schedule originally published by Amtrak, would result in greater use of the service, as well as generate additional revenue; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, urges Governor Kaine, Secretary Homer and the VDRPT to do everything within the State of Virginia’s legal power and authority to negotiate additional, peak hour slots in Northern Virginia, including an appeal with the Surface Transportation Board, if necessary, to mediate additional access for this and future trains serving the US29 corridor. 13 ATTACHMENT 6 ORDINANCE NO. 09-18(6) AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 18, ZONING, ARTICLE III, DISTRICT REGULATIONS, OF THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE, VIRGINIA BE IT ORDAINED By the Board of Supervisors of the County of Albemarle, Virginia, that Chapter 18, Zoning, Article III, District Regulations, is hereby amended and reordained as follows: By Amending: Sec. 23.2.1 By right Chapter 18.

If land disturbing activity will be required of a contractor performing construction work pursuant to a construction contract, the preparation, submission and approval of a plan shall be the responsibility of the owner. (§ 19.3-11, 2-11-98; § 7-3, 6-18-75, § 5, 2-11-76, 4-21-76, 2-11-87, 3-18-92; § 7-4, 6-18-75, § 6, 10-22-75, 4- 21-76, 11-10-76, 3-2-77, 4-17-85, 2-11-87, 12-11-87, 12-11-91, 3-18-92; Code 1988, §§ 7-3, 7-4, 19.3-11; Ord. 98-A(1), 8-5-98; Ord. 01-17(1), 7-11-01; Ord. 09-17(1), 8-5-09) State law reference--Va. Code § 10.1-563. 19 Sec. 17-204 Review and approval of erosion and sediment control plan. Each erosion and sediment control plan submitted pursuant to this article shall be reviewed and approved as provided herein: A. The plan shall be reviewed by the program authority to determine whether it complies with the requirements of section 17-203 and all other requirements of this article. B. During its review of the plan, the program authority may meet with the owner from time to time to review and discuss the plan with the owner, and shall inform the owner in writing of any modifications, terms, or conditions required to be included in the plan in order for it to be approved. The program authority may also consider and act on a variance request under the following criteria: (i) the owner shall explain in writing the reasons for requesting the variance; and (ii) the variance may be approved if the program authority determines that the approved plan, with the variance and any associated conditions of approval, would protect off-site properties and resources from damage to the same extent or better than if the variance was not granted. C. Except as provided in paragraph (E), the program authority shall approve or disapprove a plan in writing within forty-five (45) days from the date the complete application was received by the program authority. The decision of the program authority shall be based on the plan’s compliance with the requirements of this article. The decision shall be in writing and shall be served by first class mail to the address provided by the owner in the application for approval of the plan or by personal delivery to the owner. The date of the decision shall be either the date that it is deposited for mailing or the date that it is personally delivered to the owner. If the plan is disapproved, the reasons for disapproval shall be stated in the writing. D. If the program authority fails to act on the plan within forty-five (45) days from the date the application was received by the program authority, the plan shall be deemed approved. E. If the owner is required to obtain approval of a site plan or plat, the program authority shall not approve an erosion and sediment control plan unless and until the site plan or plat is approved as provided by law. For purposes of this paragraph, a site plan or plat may be deemed approved by the program authority if its approval is conditioned upon the approval of an erosion and sediment control plan pursuant to this article, and the program authority determines that review and approval of the erosion and sediment control plan will not affect approval of the site plan or plat. The program authority may approve an erosion and sediment control plan prior to approval of a required site plan or plat in the following circumstances: 1. to correct any existing erosion or other condition conducive to excessive sedimentation which is occasioned by any violation of this chapter or by accident, act of God or other cause beyond the control of the owner; provided, that the activity proposed shall be strictly limited to the correction of such condition; 2. to clear and grub stumps and other activity directly related to the selective cutting of trees, as permitted by law; 3. to install underground public utility mains, interceptors, transmission lines and trunk lines for which plans have been previously approved by the operating utility and approved by the county as being substantially in accord with the comprehensive plan, if necessary; 4. to fill earth with spoils obtained from grading, excavation or other lawful earth disturbing activity; 5. to clear, grade, fill or engage in similar related activity for the temporary storage of earth, equipment and materials, and to construct temporary access roads; provided, that in each case, the area disturbed shall be returned to substantially its previous condition, with no significant change in surface contours. The return to previous condition shall occur within thirty (30) days of the completion of the activity or temporary use, or within thirteen (13) months of the commencement of any land disturbing activity on the land which is related to the activity, whichever period shall be shorter; or 6. to establish borrow, fill or waste areas in accordance with sections 5.1.28 and 10.2.1.18 of the zoning ordinance. 20 F. An application for an erosion and sediment control plan that requires modifications, terms, or conditions to be included in order for it to be approved shall be deemed to be withdrawn if the owner fails to submit a revised plan addressing the omitted modifications, terms or conditions within six (6) months after the owner is informed of the omitted information as provided under paragraph (B). G. An approved erosion and sediment control plan shall be void if the owner fails to obtain a grading, building or other permit for activities involving land disturbing activities within one (1) year after the date of the approval. (§ 7-5, 6-18-75, § 7, 2-11-76, 4-21-76, 6-2-76, 7-9-80, 7-8-81, 2-11-87, 3-18-92; § 19.3-12, 2-11-98; Code 1988, §§ 7-5, 19.3-12; Ord. 98-A(1), 8-5-98; Ord. 08-17(3), 8-6-08; Ord. 09-17(1), 8-5-09) State law reference--Va.

A grading, building or other permit for activities involving land disturbing activities may be issued by a permit-issuing department only as provided herein: A. The owner shall submit with his application for such permit an erosion and sediment control plan, submitted for review and approval pursuant to this article, or an approved and valid erosion and sediment control plan and certification that the plan will be followed. The permit-issuing department shall not issue a permit until an approved and valid erosion and sediment control plan and certification are submitted. B. Each permit shall also be subject to the following: 1. The permitted land disturbing activity shall be deemed to have commenced on the date the permit was issued, provided that the program authority may establish another date of commencement based on documentation submitted by the owner that clearly demonstrates that the land disturbing activity commenced on that date. 2. Permanent vegetation shall be installed on all denuded areas within nine (9) months after the date the land disturbing activity commenced, except for areas that the program authority finds are necessary parts of the construction that are subject to an active building permit and areas where erosion is prevented by a non-erosive surface. For the purposes of this section, a “non-erosive surface” includes, but is not limited to, roadways and sidewalks covered by gravel, asphalt pavement, or concrete; trails or paths covered by gravel, stone dust, or mulch; buildings and other permanent structures; and such other surfaces that the program authority determines would adequately provide a permanent barrier to erosion. 3. The time limit for installing permanent vegetation as required by paragraph (B)(2) may be extended by either the program authority or the board of supervisors, or both, as follows: a. The program authority may extend the time limit for installing permanent vegetation up to an additional six (6) months, provided the owner submits a written request to the program authority no less than one (1) month prior to the deadline for installing the permanent vegetation. The program authority may grant the extension if it finds that: (i) the additional time is necessary due to factors beyond the control of the owner; (ii) the owner had made good faith efforts to comply with the time limit; and (iii) the owner has effectively controlled erosion and sedimentation on the property during the land disturbing activity. In granting an extension, the program authority may impose reasonable conditions. b. The board of supervisors may extend the time limit for installing permanent vegetation for duration it determines to be appropriate, provided the owner submits a written request to the clerk of the board of supervisors no less than two (2) months prior to the deadline for installing the permanent vegetation. The program authority shall provide its opinion to the board as to the condition of the property with respect to compliance with this chapter and an estimate of the minimum time needed to complete grading and install permanent vegetation for the land disturbance covered by this permit. The board may grant the extension if it finds that: (i) the additional time is necessary due to factors beyond the control of the owner; (ii) the owner had made good faith efforts to comply with the time limit; and (iii) the owner has plans to effectively 21 control or has effectively controlled erosion and sedimentation on the property during the land disturbing activity. In granting an extension, the board shall set a time limit and may impose other reasonable conditions. 4. An application to amend the erosion and sediment control plan shall not extend the time limit for installing permanent vegetation authorized by paragraph (B)(3). 5. The installation of permanent vegetation required by paragraph (B)(2) shall be required only for those land disturbing activities that are subject to an erosion and sediment control plan approved on or after September 5, 2009, or an erosion and sediment control plan that was approved prior to that date but was renewed on or after September 5, 2009. C. Prior to the issuance of such permit, the permit-issuing department shall require, or in the case of an agreement in lieu of a plan may require, the owner to submit a reasonable performance bond with surety, cash escrow, letter of credit, any combination thereof, or such other legal arrangement acceptable to the permit- issuing department and the county attorney, to ensure that measures could be taken by the permit-issuing department or the program authority at the owner’s expense should he fail, after proper notice as provided in section 17-213, to take timely corrective action specified in the notice. D. A bond or other surety required by the permit-issuing department pursuant to paragraph (C) shall not exceed the total of the estimated cost to initiate, maintain and repair all erosion and sediment control structures and systems, and to comply with all other terms and conditions of the erosion and sediment control plan. The amount of the bond or other surety shall be based on unit price for new public or private sector construction, including architectural engineering, inspection and project management expenses, in Albemarle County, Virginia, and a reasonable allowance for estimated administrative costs and inflation which shall not exceed ten (10) percent of the estimated cost to initiate, maintain and repair all erosion and sediment control structures and systems, and to comply with all other terms and conditions, of the erosion and sediment control plan. E. If the program authority is required to take corrective action pursuant to section 17-213, upon the failure of the owner to do so, the county may collect from the owner for the difference if the amount of the reasonable cost of the corrective action exceeds the amount of the surety. F. Within sixty (60) days of achieving adequate stabilization of the land disturbing activity in any project or section thereof, the bond or other surety, or any unexpended or unobligated portion thereof, shall be refunded to the owner or terminated based upon the percentage of stabilization accomplished in the project or section thereof. G. If a bond or other surety is provided under paragraph (D) and the erosion and sediment control plan expires before the permit is issued, the permit-issuing department shall return the bond or other surety to the owner.
