on temporary signs after which the secretary summarized the
reason for the subject public hearing being held tonight.

Estate Board time to discuss temporary signs and present a
position paper on the matter. Numerous people appeared in
opposition and requested information regarding signs both
temporary and general in nature. Mrs. Ellen Craddock, Jane
Kegley, Ellen Nash, representing a Mr. Stanley and Battle, Mrs.

view of the investment made by the Real Estate people in
signs.

presented and felt that there was a need for more discussion
on signs by the Commission with Real Estate people and a

that the 2 x 2 or 4 square foot temporary_ sign was too
small and thought it could be raised to 4 x 4 or 16 square
feet signs. Dr. Catlin noted that there were numerous
inconsistancies within the sign section and it was his
opinion that more work was needed to clarify and make uniform
the sign section and it was his opinion from the statements
made by members of the Commission that no action should be
taken tonight.

the following motion seconded by Mr. Wright that the

meeting room at 7:30 P.M. in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Present were: Avery Catlin, Chairman; David Carr,
Vice -Chairman; Cecil Maupin, Savory Amato, John Wright,

The minutes of February 2, 1970 were approved as
submitted.

consultant on the 701 Comprehensive Plan, who presented
highlights of the forthcoming economic survey, Element 1
of the Comprehensive Plan.
` The report was received and it was noted that Mr.
Rosser Payne will present full report in first draft
form at a later date for the Commission's review and
critique.
At this time, the Chairman called for the site plan
review of Phase II, Berkeley Hills Planned Community. The
staff presented his report stating that Phase II involved
a deviation from the original approved internal street
system.
He stated that the original approval called for a
deadend street as opposed to the circular street as now
proposed. Mr. William Roudabush and Daley Craig presented
the site plan stating that the reason for the deviation was
due to topographic conditions which necessitated the
deviation. He also stated that in lieu of the idea to
establishthis internal street as a private road system they
wy were negotiating with the State to construct the subject
street to state standards for inclusion into the secondary
system.
Page 323
A general discussion by Mr. Perkins and other members
of the Commission insued during which concern was shown on
the 60 foot right of way which traverses the property which
Mr. Craig had stated would not be constructed initially.
Mr. Craig did say it would eventually be complete in connection
with Phase I which had temporarily been set aside because
of the present financing situation which exists involving
single family or patio -type housing.
Phase II involves townhouse development which the
financing market is more conducive to back. Mr. Perkins
emphasized his concern over the statements made during
the course of the first hearing on the master plan of
Berkeley Hills, particularly the one in which he felt that
the Commission guaranteed to the Berkeley Hills single
family subdivision that the 60 foot road would be constructed
in conjunction with the first Phase of development.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Judge Amato made
the following motion seconded by Mr. Maupin that Phase II,
Berkeley Hills townhouse section be approved subject to the
following conditions:
1. Subject to site plan review and approval by the
County Engineer and Planner for proper installation
of utilities and layout of buildings.
2. That the recreation area abutting Phase II be
included in Phase II showing dedication for common use.
3. That that portion of the 60 foot right of way
between Phase I and Phase II be made a part of
Phase I and that it be constructed to state standards
in conjunction with Phase I development.
4. That proper bonds or negotiable instruments be
filed with the County to insure construction to
state standards on all roads involved.
5. That a homeowners association agreement be presented
to the County Planner before work on Phase II begins.
The motion carried by a 6 to 1 vote with Mr. Perkins
voting nay.

At this time the Chairman called for the discussion on
signs from the Sign Committee, Mr. Perkins stated that the
Committee was not prepared to give a full report at this
meeting and requested a deferral of a full report until the

MAY 18, 1970
The Albemarle County Planning Commission met on May 18,
1970 in Jack Jouett Junior High School at 7:30 P.M. to con-
duct a public hearing on "Signs".
Present were: Avery Catlin, Chairman; David Carr,
Vice -Chairman; Cecil Maupin, Savory Amato, John Wright,
James Parks, Henry Page, and William Perkins. Also attending
was Mr. Lloyd Wood.
The secretary established that a quorum was present.
Dr. Catlin called the meeting to order. After an
introduction, he introduced Mr. Perkins of the Sign Committee,
who elaborated on the new provisions.
Mr. Perkins went through the proposed ordinance,
speaking of the removal of signs, non -conforming signs,
traffic hazards, and sign permits. He elaborated on the
definition of signs and in what zones they would be allowed.
At this time, Mr. Perkins introduced two students of
the University belonging to the Local Environment Group.
These two students showed slides of signs throughout the
County, showing clusters of signs and damaged signs.
Dr. Catlin at this time asked for the public to speak.
Mrs. M. E. Rose spoke first against general outdoor
advertising. She is presently an advertising consultant.
She stated that she sympathized with advertisers, but that
general outdoor advertising was no longer needed on the
highways due to radios which are located in cars and trucks
today and have frequent commercials.
Mr. Furman Cliett, representing the Chamber of Commerce
said that he had been asked to state that the Chamber of
Commerce would certainly be in favor of continuing beauty
programs. They would also like to see an ordinance that
would restrict advertising, but still allow a businessman
to operate.
Mr. Peter Kelsey, Legal Environment Group, University
of Virginia Law School, commented on Mrs. Rose's presentation,
Page 350
stating that there were other means of advertising. He
read several sections of a Code of the State of Vermont,
restricting signs, indicating that Vermont attracted tourists
but kept their signs to a minimum. Mr. Kelsey pointed out
that he was from New Jersey where signs were not restricted
enough and that we should consider how fast Albemarle County
is growing and restrict signs more.
Mr. Paul D. Stotts, Outdoor Advertising Association,
Attorney, representing Jackson Poster Company, Turner
Advertising, Tally -Neon Advertising, Stanford and Inge, Inc.
and National Advertising. Mr. Stotts suggested that the
matter be studied further with a chance for the sign
companies to participate in the drafting of the ordinance.
He stated that billboards were needed to advertise food,
gasoline and lodging for tourists. He further stated that
this ordinance does not regulate general advertising, but
prohibits it.
Mr. Stotts said that Jackson Poster Company would have
to go out of business because all his signs are over 100
square feet.
He suggested the ordinance limit public signs. Also
that the ordinance permit signs as large as a business
warrants according to lot size. He spoke of location signs
and how it would have an adverse affect on the County in
the long run.
He questioned the ordinance for not allowing neon
signs, stating that in some cases they were needed, such as
banks and Holiday Inns. And he said that 100 square feet
was not adequate for Holiday Inn because you would not see
it. He elaborated on the measuring of signs and said in
most cases you would be measuring air due to the shapes of
some signs.
In talking about projecting signs, Mr. Stotts said you
could not get the necessary equipment in 6 inches of space
behind the sign.
Page 351
On non -conforming signs he read from the State Statute,
Section 15.1.492, which says that they do not have to remove
their nonconforming signs unless they are discontinued for
a period of two years or unless they get compensation for
them.
Mr. Stotts questioned the ordinance about traffic
hazard signs and whether or not we could impose the duty on
the Highway Department to check these signs before issuing
a permit.
Mrs. James Cash spoke against the signs, stating that
tourists were attracted to Virginia because of the Blue
Ridge Mountains and Monticello. Therefore, signs would
prohibit the beauty of the County and if tourists are going
to be a big trade we need to eliminate signs.
Mrs. David Thomson, member of the Civic League, stated
that since there is other media for advertising, it is
hard to justify billboards. Since man is so adaptable,
he will learn to see 10 square feet as 50 square feet of
sign.
Sgt. M. E. Lawrence, Armed Forces Recruiting Services,
spoke on the need for outdoor advertising in recruiting,
quoting figures of how much it cost the taxpayer annually
and stating that sign companies gave advertising free to
recruiting services, thereby showing that outdoor advertising
is the most inexpensive form of advertising for them. He
also stated that their signs are set up 24 months in advance
and constructed 12 months in advance, therefore if the size
of the signs were cut back to 100 square feet, it would be
a substantial loss for the State of Virginia.
Mr. Leroy Graves, representing the Ivy Sign Company,
commented on the slides of the signs and noted the clusters
of signs. He questioned the qualifications of the Commission
members to come up with this plan. He went on to explain
the sign business and fees and license that had to be paid.
Mr. Graves questioned the fact that there were no
provisions for appeals in the ordinance, and that he would
Page 352
have to remove his billboards in two years at his own expense.
He wanted to know if the Commission knew what they were doing.
Regarding neon lighting, he stated that this was needed
and that you have to adjust the size of the sign by the
need. Mr. Graves questioned having the Highway Department
determine the location of the sign. He thinks more restrictions
should be put on political signs, suggesting bonds be placed
to have these removed. He also suggested that a Board of
possibly 12 members be appointed from the Commission, sign
companies, garden clubs, Civic League to work out a program
suitable to all.
Mr. William M. Colony, a citizen of the County, spoke
against signs, elaborating on the beauty that should be
maintained along our roads.
Mr. Roger B. Flint, representing Pepsi Cola Company,
said that to limit signs, the Commission would be responsible
for people going out of business. He suggested that this
matter be reconsidered with more people.
Mr. John M. Crafaik, representing Humpty Dumpty, Inc.,
said that small businesses like his could not afford to
spend very much money on advertising, He stated that he
needed signs to stay in business and that the Planning Commission
was out of its jurisdiction. He suggested the Commission
talk about up -keep of signs.
Mr. John Darrell, a citizen of Albemarle County for six
months, said that it is time we prohibited signs.
Mr. ..A;_.Lyle,'Ward, representing KOA Campgrounds, said a
lot of people coming to his camp complain that there are
not enough signs for them to find their way to the camp.
Mr. Edward R. Jackson, representing Jackson Poster
Advertising, spoke against the sign ordinance, stating that
we do not stop manufacturing beer although we throw beer
cans on the road.
Mr. Thomas E. Link, from WCHV, stated that this was
Restriction vs Prohibition. He suggested that people communi-
cated with their supervisors on this matter.
Page 353
Mrs. Williams, an employee of Monticello, said that on
some Sundays more than 3,000 people go to that house, and
that to her knowledge Monticello does not have one sign
over 100 square feet, and yet they do a pretty good business.
Mr. J. C. Levenson, a citizen, stated that the County
has to act, individuals cannot do this by themselves.
At this time, Dr. Catlin closed the public hearing, *so
commenting that the Planning Commission would take no action
at this time, but hold a work session and possibly another
public hearing before forwarding it on the the Board of
Supervisors.
There being no further business, the meeting was
adjourned.

The Albemarle County Planning Commission met on

room at 7:30 P.M. in the County Office Building, Charlottes-
vill, Virginia.
Present were: Avery Catlin, Chairman; David Carr,
Vice -Chairman; Cecil Maupin, Savory Amato, John Wright,
James Parks, Henry Page, and William Perkins. Also
attending were Mr. Lloyd Wood, Mr, T. M. Batchelor, and
Mr. Rosser Payne.
The secretary established that a quorum was present.
The minutes of May 27, and June 1, 1970 were not
approved.
The Chairman at this time called for the public hearings.
1. ZMP-117. Peyton G. Taylor. To rezone 8.83 acres

Magisterial District.
Zoning Map Petition 117 was deferred from the June 1,
1970 meeting to receive additional information regarding
Deed restrictions. The staff presented copies of the Deed
restrictions governing Shadwell Estates Subdivision.
It was ascertained that rezoning of this property from

Upon motion by Mr. Carr, seconded by Mr. Perkins, ZMP-
117 was approved unanimously, as requested.
2. SP-47. Robert L. Butler. To locate a permanent
Mobile home on property located on Route 600 at
Campbell, Virginia. Described as County Tax
Map 81, Parcel 41, Rivanna Magisterial District.
Special Permit 47 was deferred from the June 1, 1970
meeting to permit the staff to field check the location in
detail. The secretary reported that in his opinion the
mobile home could be located some 200 feet from Route 600
Page `65
and the access road to adjacent property which parallels
the railroad which would afford reasonable screening.
The secretary's first choice would be to locate the
mobile home on the northeast side of the existing structure
on the property.
Mr. Butler informed the Commission that in order to
make use of the existing well and septic system he would
have to locate the mobile home to the northwest side of
the house.
After a general discussion, Mr. Carr made the following
motion seconded by Mr. Maupin that if possible the trailer
is to be located on the northeast side of the house subject
to the Health Departments approving the location. If this
is not possible, then the mobile home can be located on
the northwest side. The motion carried unanimously.
3. SP= W. Sterling Carter. To locate a mobile
home on property located on Route 784, containing
15 acres. Purpose of locating is to house an
agricultural employee. Described as Tax Map

District.
The staff presented his report after which Mr. Carter
presented his petition stating that the mobile home would
be housing for an agricultural employee who would be over-
seeing the raising of poultry on the subject tract.
After a general discussion, Mr. Maupin made the follow-
ing motion seconded by Mr. Wright that SP-50 be approved
subject to Health Department for septic system, that the
trailer not be located closer than 30 feet from Route 784.
The motion carried unanimously.
4. CU-138. Tidbit, Inc.. Applicant has petitioned
the Board of Supervisors to enlarge an existing
Motel in an A-1 Agricultural zone. Property is
located on south side of Route 250 West, between
Mechum's River and Brownsville. Described as
Tax Map 56, Parcel 109B. Samuel Miller
Magisterial District.
The staff presented his report. The application was
presented to enlarge the existing 16 units to include
kitchen facilities and extra room. All additions were to
Page ?166
be located to the rear of the existing building and would
not involve additional parking.
After a general discussion, Mr. Perkins made the following
motion seconded by Mr. Maupin that CU-138 be approved for
the additional motel units subject to Health Department
approval for the addition to the existing septic system.
`s� The motion carried unanimously.
At this time the Chairman called for the public
hearing on Revisions to the Zoning Ordinance - Conditional
Use Provisions in all zoning districts as found in the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
The staff presented the reasonings for the proposed
revisions being before the Commission and general public and
elaborated on the intent and objectives of the proposed
amendments.
At this time, the Chairman asked for comments from the
general public. Those appearing in favor of tighter controls
over uses now permitted with a Conditional Use Permit were
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Rosenblum, Mr. Randy Jones, Mr. Trite,
Mr. Mann, and Mr. Lentz.
It was noted that these persons speaking suggested
that all Conditional Use Permits become Special Permits and
that no existing Conditional Use Permits remain as
Conditional uses. Suggestions were made for changing
some wording as it relates to individual items contained
in the proposal.
Mr. Charles Hurt spoke on retaining the Planned Community
provisions as a Conditional Use and that the three and four
unit dwelling use in the R-2 zone should either be allowed
146, or discontinued and not provided for under a Special Permit.
At this time, Mr. Carr expounded on the reasoning for
having the three and four unit apartment use within the
R-2, that being making available the right to convert older
and larger structures into apartments when their use as
a single family was precluded and the intent was not -to
permit new type construction within the R-2 zone.
Page �6j
At this time, Mr. Bill Townes spoke on the original
ordinance adopted April 15, 1968 and that the ordinance was
adopted with full knowledge that it had to be flexible
and that there would be changes as necessary.
This concluded the public hearing with the consensus
of the Commission, action on the proposed amendment was
deferred until the end of the agenda.
At this time the Chairman called for the review of
site plans. The following site plans were considered with
the stated action:
1. Better Living, Inc., office and display building.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the location
of the office and display building as submitted subject
to a 50 foot setback from Route 29 North which is not
to exceed 24 months without sanitary facilities or water.
The location of the building was the only approval and the
addition of the water and sanitary facilities would require
a resubmittal of their plan for reapproval.
2. Morton Frozen Foods. Addition to existing treat-
ment facility. The Planning Commission approved the site
plan as submitted subject to facility meeting the require-
ments dictated by the State Water Control Board. Evidence
of this being accomplished should be submitted to the
Zoning Administrator.
3. Murray Manufacturing. The Planning Commission
approved the office and additional manufacturing area to
accommodate a proposed activity of metal plating stating
that the approval of this site plan does not imply approval
of the proposed treatment facility which is pending under
a Conditional Use Permit.
At this time the Chairman recognized Mr. Rosser Payne,
Consultant for the County, charged with development and the
Comprehensive Plan for the County under a 701 Planning
Grant. Mr. Payne presented his evaluation of proposed
water impoundment sites as suggested by SCS relating them
to the concept of community clusters within the County.
Page,
He also asked for approval of the Commission to use a 7%
*AW annual growth rate to the year 2000 in connection with
the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
He elaborated on the basis of this assumption. He
further stated that the holding capacity for the County
in the year 2000 would be 203,000 people with a possible
'14W population of a 160,000,
A general breakdown of the location of the assumed
population objective would be 100,000 for five major
communities located at Scottsville, Shadwell-Keswick
area, Earlysville area, Ivy area and the Hillsboro -Crozet
area. 38,000 to be located in 16 village centers with an
additional 22,000 being located in the rural and agricultural
area.
It was the consensus of the Commission that Mr. Payne
proceed with the objectives and assumption as presented.
At this time, Mr. Humphrey informed the Commission of
the desires of the developer of Lakeside Subdivision to
cause the rezoning of that subdivision from an A-1 Agricultural
zone to a residential category to provide for proper
protection as a single family subdivision.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the developer
and property owners within Lakeside Subdivision inform the
Board of Supervisors of their desires to cause a rezoning
to take place.
Now at this time, the Chairman called for discussion
and action on the amendment to the zoning ordinance which
was deferred earlier.
After a general discussion, the Planning Commission
approved the following amendments to the suggested revisions
as found under a memo dated April 15, 1970 relating to
Conditional Use Permits. The amendments wereapproved by
a majority.

tract Purchasers have petitioned the Board of
Supervisors to rezone, from A-1 Agricultural to
M-1 Industrial, Limited, District, 220.74 acres.

Page 410
The Chairman opened the motion for discussion. Mr.
10
W11
Wright spoke in opposition to the M-1 zoning as it now exists
and in accomplishing the proposed use. He stated he did so
because the preliminary work being done on a more desirable
zoning classification which he felt should be placed on
the property as requested. He felt that overall planning
should be accomplished and that the petition should be delayed
until a study was available relating to the impact of the
I-64 corridor in Albemarle County. He again reiterated that
he was not in opposition to the use but the mechanics
available to allow the use was not in his opinion in the
best interests of the County.
Mr. Parks at this time spoke stating that it was his
opinion that G.E. had filed under the present laws and
should be considered under said laws, and that he planned
to vote in favor.
Mr. Carr spoke on planning in general, the County as
well as the Ivy area and he was of the opinion that the
agreement entered into by the G.E. Company and the owners
of the subject property was binding enough to permit it in
the M-1 zone at this time and the assurances given by the
applicant that they would accept RT-M zoning when available
was sufficient in his opinion.
Mr. Page spoke along the lines presented by Mr. Wright.
Mr. Catlin spoke on the objectives of the forthcoming
plan stating that he felt the use was appropriate for the
area but had some reservations on the approach in permitting
the proposed use. He felt that a delay in action or allowing
it to remain in the A-1 coupled with a statement to rezone
at this time by the Board would be proper.
Again he reiterated that he felt the use would fit in
the Ivy area.
The discussion of the motion having been concluded,
the Chairman called for a roll call vote on the motion to
grant M-1. The results were as follows: for the motion
to approve: Amato, Parks, Carr, and Maupin, - against

Westfield Club Apartments until Peyton Drive has been
approved for acceptance for the State Highway system. The
motion carried unanimously.
The Planning Commission noted that a written agreement
from the City to provide sewer and water services to the
facility had been received by the secretary.
PLATS FOR PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL
1. The staff presented the plat of Weblin being property
of Aisle M. Preston proposing the subdivision of parcels
of land into 7 lots with a road which is to be sub -standard
to Virginia Department of Highway specifications. After
a very lengthy discussion, the Commission instructed the
secretary to communicate with the County Engineer to
assist Mrs. Preston in determing the cost of providing a
road to be included into the State secondary system and
to ascertain whether or not Weblin Drive can be extended
to the eastern property line of the subject property. It
was the consensus of the Commission that this be done.
2. At this time the secretary presented a preliminary
sketch of the proposed division of property of Mr. J. W.
Garth. Mr. Garth was requesting a waiver of the 50 foot
restricted road requirements of 30 feet thereby establishing
a 20 foot restricted road to serve a subdivision of 4 lots.
After a discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission
that Mr. Garth be informed that the Commission would require
that the 50 foot right of way for the restricts(road be
adhered to as it relates to this preliminary subdivision
and that no waiver would be granted.
3. At this time the staff presented an amendment to
a previously approved portion of Four Seasons known as
Blocks "DD - MM", Patio House Section. The staff informed
the Commission that the City's review was requiring Mr.
Daley Craig to extend Lake Forest Drive as shown on a plat
dated August 28, 1970 extending to his property line on
the northeast.
Page 414
The staff informed the Commission that to extend this
road as being required by the City would be against the
principals of the Planned Community Concept as established
in the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance and would defeat
the purpose of providing a self-contained Planned Resi-
dential Community, and that it appears that the City has
no subdivision review control by virtue of the City not
following the provisions of the State Code in obtaining
said review. The staff recommends that the extension as
shown and as mentioned above not be approved as an amendment
to the original approval of the Commission. The motion
carried unanimously.

NOVEMBER 16, 1970
The Albemarle County Planning Commission met on
November 16, 1970 in the County Court House at 7:30 P.M.
Charlottesville, Virginia
Present were: Avery Catlin, Chairman; David Carr,
Vice -Chairman; Cecil Maupin, Savory Amato and William
Perkins. Also attending were Mr. Lloyd Wood and Mr. T. M.
Batchelor.
Absent were: Mr. James Parks, Mr. John Wright, and
Mr. Henry Page.
The secretary established that a quorum was present.
The minutes of November 2, 1970 were approved as
submitted.
Dr. Catlin opened the public hearing on the R-TM
zone.
1. Proposed amendment to the Albemarle County Zoning
Ordinance creating a new zoning district to be
known as "Research and Technical Manufacturing,
R-TM District", catering to research and development
and light manufacturing facilities on a minimum
lot size of fity (50) acres; with provisions for
industrial performance standards, as prepared by
the Albemarle County Planning staff.
The secretary presented the proposed amendment to
the Commission as prepared by the Albemarle County Planning
staff and as amended by the Albemarle County Planning
Commission. It was noted that this was the 5th draft of
the subject proposal.
Dr. Catlin then opened the hearing to those in
attendance.
Dr. Fredrick Berry, resident of Ednam Forest, who
spoke on land zoned M-1 across from Ednam Forest felt that
a reduction in the minimum 50 acres would make for a
better development. It was ascertained by the Commission
that Dr. Berry's comments were related more to M-1 zoning
and not necessarily to that of the proposed R-TM zone.
Page 424
Mr. William Battle, attorney representing General
Electric Company, presented a letter prepared by representatives
of General Electric suggesting several changes in the
proposed R-TM zone.
Mr. Humphrey also presented a letter from a Mr. Stevenson,
member of the Industrial Development Commission, suggesting
a reduction from the minimum lot requirement.
Mr. Jack Marzano, interested citizen, spoke on the need
of lowering the minimum lot size also.
At this time the Chairman noted that the objectives
of the R-TM zone were somewhat different from the existing
M-1 and M-2 industrial zones and realizing that the M-1
and M-2 were in need of review, stated that such a review
and analysis would be undertaken in connection with the
possible establishment of a minimum lot size in the M-1
and M-2 at a later date. However, by reason of the intent
of the proposed R-TM zone, a large minimum lot size was
in order in his opinion. It was the consensus of the
Commission that Dr. Catlin's statements were in keeping with
theirs relating to the R-TM proposed zone.
After a very lengthy discussion, on the comments
received by letter from General Electric and members of
the Commission and the general public, Mr. Maupin made
the following motion seconded by Mr. Carr that the proposed
R-TM (Research and Technical Manufacturing District),
be recommended for approval subject to the changes discussed
and approved by the Commission and as found below.
Note: All amendments are shown by underlining.
