RE: ZMA 2002-004 Cascadia (formerly titled "Moore") Signs #30, 91
Tax Map 62, Parcel 25; Tax Map 78, Parcels 59 and 59A; and Tax Map 78E, Parcel H1
Dear Mr. Barnes:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on June 27, 2006, unanimously recommended
approval of ZMA-2002-04 Cascadia to the Board of Supervisors.
Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:
The Commission agreed to the adjustment the applicant would make regarding certain house separations
with the understanding a zero "0" lot line concept could be a part of the Code of Development.
The Commission agreed to a maximum 6' high 300' long retaining wall with allowances for greater than
that with the approval of the Director of Community Development.
The proffers as suggested by the applicant would be subject to further negotiation with the Board in two
specific areas that the Planning Commission feels need to be increased: the 90 day limit on the
availability of affordable housing and the amount of cash proffers.
The additional flexibility that they are granting for the retaining walls and other features should be
exercised consistently with achieving the goal of maximizing tree protection.
Regarding your Waiver Requests, the Commission unanimously approved waiver #21, to provide only sidewalk
on one side of Adelphia Drive as identified on the plan in the red section only. This approval is subject to the
condition that the applicant must submit a tree preservation plan to be reviewed by staff.
The Commission took the following action on your other waiver requests: The critical slopes waiver was
approved with a condition of a grading plan acceptable to the County Engineer. In waiver 12, signs in the public
right-of-way, what is in Attachment I on page 76 of the staff report is correct. In waiver 23, the Planning
Commission is dropping any condition whatsoever. Therefore, with those changes to what is in the Barnes

attached chart the Commission approved all but waiver 21, which the Commission has already approved as
shown in the chart. Also, waivers 7 and 10 were deleted.
Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and receive public
comment at their meeting on August 2, 2006. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. in Room 241 of the County
Office Building at 401 McIntire Road.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (434) 296-5832.
