Present were: Avery Catlin, Chairman; Cecil Maupin, William Moore, Dave Carr, Lloyd Wood, William Perkins, Dr. Richard Marks, William Trevillian; Judge Savory Amato, and Henry Page. Also attending were: T. M. Batchelor, Jr., County Executive; Bill Townes, County Engineer; and John Humphrey, Secretary. Absent were: Floyd Johnson. The meeting was called to order and a quorum established. The minutes of April 1 and 15, 1968 were approved as presented. Rezoning Map Petitions - Public Hearings. A. ZMP-001 - James E. Craig - Approximately 4.2 acres located at Earlysville at the intersection of Route 743 and 660 having a frontage of 403 feet on State Route 743, from Agricultural A-1 to Business B-1 to accomodate a neighborhood shopping center. 'Upon motion by Dr. Marks, seconded by Mr. Cecil Maupin, Zoning Map Petition 001 was approved as presented. The Commission's reason for approving was (1) There appears to be sufficient trend of residential dev- elopment in the area to justify this use at this time and would provide for neighborhood conveniences and services lacking in the area. (2) The use contem- plated would be compatible with adjacent land use across State Route 743. B. ZMP-002 Teahouse Corporation, contract purchaser - located south side of U. S. Route 250 W., 1.6 miles east of Ivy, containing 7.06 acres and having front- age on 250, from Agricultural A-1 to Business B-1 and Residential R-3 to accomodate a neighborhood shopping center and garden -type apartment dwellings. Upon motion by Dr. Marks, seconded by Judge Amato, the Planning Commission approved by a vote of 10 to 1, the request for B-1 zoning for a 200 ft. depth Page 93 fronting on 250. Mr. Moore abstained from voting. A motion by Dr. Marks, seconded by Mr. Maupin, to approve R-3 zoning of this application failed by a vote of 5 to 4. The Commission's reasoning for approving the B-1 portion of application 002 was that their action corrected an error in the original zoning map by making a non -conforming use conforming and that in doing so was of the opinion that B-1 zoning at this location would be compatible with the adjacent land use in the area and is the highest of best use for this parcel. The Planning Commission voted to deny the R-3 portion of this application and did so with the following reasoning. Those voting in the negative were of the opinion that R-3 zoning at this location and at this time was premature, considering the lack of public utilities to serve the area. C. ZMP-003 - Claire Burke, Inc., contract purchaser - containing 40,000 square feet located on Route 250 West and having 153 feet frontage on Route 250, from Agricultural A-1 to Business B-1 to accomodate a processing and wholesale business. Upon motion by Judge Amato, seconded by Dr. Marks, Zoning Map Petition 003 was approved for the following reasons: (1) The use contemplated would be compatible with adjacent land use in the immediate area, and would correct an error in the original zoning map. Site plan for auto dealership (Ford Motor Co.), located on Route 250 E. Upon motion by Mr. Wood, seconded by Dr. Marks, the site plan of Ford Motor Co. was approved subject to the location of an off-loading and unloading area being shown on the site plan and sufficient parking being shown to accommodate the needs as required by the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.

N. Committee reports: Dr. Marks reported on a committee meeting of citizens in the Scottsville area regarding the proposed Totier Creek recreation area. The report read as follows: On Sunday, May 5, a meeting was held with the various property owners around proposed Totier Lake concerning a recreation area to be located on old Route 6. It was the feeling of all property owners that they would desire this road closed and the proposed recreation area or areas to be located elsewhere for use by boating individuals and picnicers. They were all in agreement with the proposed location of the primary recreation areas near the dam site. In general, most property owners favored rather rigid restrictions on size of building sites, setback lines, etc. around the lake. However, they want con- tinued control and use of their respective property to the water line. Also, in general I think cooperation will be excellent with most property owners concerned. Submitted by Richard D. Marks, Jr. Chairman, Recreation Committee The Chairman instructed Dr. Marks and Mr. Johnson to further investigate and report to the Commission on the "rr.•Ar Totier Creek Project at the next meeting. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Page 99 JUNE 3, 1968 The Albemarle County Planning Commission met on June 3, 1968 at 7:30 P.M. in the Board Room of the County Office Building, Charlottesville, Virginia. Present were: Avery Catlin, Chairman; Cecil Maupin, William Trevillian, William Moore, Dave Carr, T. M. Batchelor, Dr. Marks, Floyd Johnson, Lloyd Wood, and William Perkins. Also attending was John L. Humphrey, Secretary. Absent were: Savory E. Amato and Henry Page. The meeting was called to order and a quorum established. The minutes of May 6, 1968 were approved as presented. A. Public Hearings 1. A public hearing to revise the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance was conducted. The subject public hearing involved mobile homes occupied in conjunction with construction of a dwelling in all residential zoned districts. Upon motion by Mr. Batchelor, seconded by Dr. Marks, the following amendment to the Zoning Ordinance was adopted and recommended to the Board of Supervisors. "Mobile Homes, Occupied: Only one on a lot owned by the owner of the mobile home for not more than one year provided a dwelling is under construction for the owner on the lot." The above recommended amendment applies only to the Agricultural A-1 zone. 2. A public hearing to revise Section 9-6, Non - Conforming Lots, was conducted and upon motion by Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr. Maupin, the following amendment to the County Zoning Ordi- nance was unanimously approved. "All pre- liminary and final subdivision plats approved' prior to April 15, 1968 by the County of Albemarle, as provided by law then applicable, are exempt from the terms hereof and allowed as non -conforming lots." Tn Page 100 3. A public hearing was conducted to consider an amendment to Article II, Agricultural A-1, Uses Permitted, as found in the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. Upon motion by Mr. Maupin, seconded by Mr. Moore, the following amendment to the Zoning Ordinance was unanimously recommended to the Board of Supervisors. "Public and semi-public uses subject to approval of site plan for each development." �4:', Zoning Map Petition-004. Upon motion by Mr. J Perkins, seconded by Dr. Marks and unanimously approved, ZMP-004, applicant Forrest Marshall, was recommended for approval on the basis of the preliminary plat �,rhi ch stows an average lot size of two acres which in the opinion of the Planning Commission would be compatible with the adjacent area. 5. Zoning Map Petition-005. Applicant, the Progress Corporation. Mr. Donald Reid, an adjacent prop- erty owner presented objection to the proposed package treatment plant referred to in a letter sent to the Chairman and Secretary. Upon motion by Mr. Maupin, seconded by Mr. Trevillian the Planning Commission unanimously approved ZMP-005 for the following reasons. Since an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to recognize preliminary plats approved prior to April 15, 1968 was recommended for approval during this regular meeting, the Planning Commission is of the opinion that approval of this application would make an already existing subdivision conforming. The Planning Commission sees no alternative at this time but to zone the land to conform to the proposed development. The Planning Commission would like to note at this time that any future zoning of land owned by the developer of this tract should be done under the Planned Community Concept. 6. Zoning Map Petition-006. Applicant, James H. and Alice Browning. Upon motion by Mr. Carr, seconded by Mr. Moo--e, the Planning Commission unanimously recomiir.nded denial of ZMP-006 for the following reasons: (1) In the opinion of the Planning Commission this is a spot which would cause land use to take place which would not be in keeping with the general area at this time. (2) An R-1 zoning classification on this 2.7 acre parcel would allow the applicants to build up to four additional dwelling units. (3) The Planning Commission is of the opinion that the existing trend in development in the immediate area is for two acre or more lots. Page 101 7. Zoning Map Petition-007. Applicant, Auburn Hills Farm Corporation. Mr. William Fennell, attorney representing Auburn Hills, spoke in favor of the rezoning, stating that there already exists a nine lot subdivision within the area requested for rezoning and three houses presently exists.

Nash, Attorney, appeared in opposition to the proposed rezoning, stating that the subject rezoning case should not be considered until a master plan had been developed for this area. She spoke on road problems in the area and the impact on the school system. Mrs. Nash also presented a letter addressed to the Planning Commission from Mr. Stanley Woodward opposing the fr000seo rezoning application. After a lengthy dise-u sion, Mr. Trevillian made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Maupin, and approved by a 5 to 4 vote, that Zoning Map Petition 007, Auburn Hills Farm Corporation be approved for the following reasons: (1) This application for zoning change is similar to ZMP-005, it having an approved subdivision plat accomplished before April 15, 1968. (2) That the lot size as approved under the preliminary would not be detrimental to the adjacent properties. 8. Conditional Use Permit-1. B. F.

Mr. Dave Carr reported on what he considered a grave problem regarding Garth Road near Ingleside Farm. Apparently a curve at this location has resulted in four serious accidents recently.

Page 105 JUNE 13, 1968 SPECIAL MEETING The Albemarle County Planning Commission held a special meeting on June 13, 1968, at 7:30 P.M. in the Board Room of the County Office Building, Charlottesville, Virginia. Present were: Dr. Avery Catlin, Chairman; Mr. William Moore, Vice -Chairman; Mr. Floyd Johnson, Mr. Cecil Maupin, Mr. Lloyd Wood, Mr. William Perkins, and Mr. Tom Batchelor. Also Mr. David Carr, Mr. William Trevillian, and Mr. H. C. Page. Absent were: Dr. Richard Marks and Judge S. E. Amato. A. Public Hearing: 1. Upon motion by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, a change in zone classification from Residential R-3 to Residential R-2 for property located in Charlottesville Magisterial District has been referred to the Albemarle County Planning Commission for public hearing and report. Subject property is described as Parcel 69 of County Tax Map 60 and Parcels 27, 32 and 32B of County Tax Map 60-A, con- taining approximately 18 acres fronting on Barracks Road. Mr. Humphrey, Secretary, located the subject property and described the environment in the immediate area. The Chairman then asked the petitioners to present their petition. Senator J. Harry Michael, representing the Montvue citizens, presented the petition which was accompanied by maps and background data. The Senator stated that this matter involved considerable broad import, stating that the Montvue area represents one of the finest single family areas in the County. He referred to the Zoning Map, calling attention to the particular zones covering land in the general area, stating how the R-3 zone, which is presently designated on the Robert Harris property could allow a density of 20 dwelling units per acre. He further stated that the R-3 area, including Mr. Harris's property, totaled some 56.4 acres. Using some standard ratios regarding dwelling units and vehicles per dwelling unit or auto per dwelling unit, he presented what he called the impact of the 17.9 acres in this area, stating that the potential of the subject land was approximately 1,050 people and 525 automobiles., He further stated that the impact of autos originating from this tract would further congest Barracks Road and Emment Street Inter- section. He described the topography in the immediate area of the subject property referring to a ravine, which was Page 106 originally considered by the Planning Commission and the Montvue citizens as a normal breaking point; however, what the Planning Commission considered the proper ravine location, and what the Montvue citizens considered the proper ravine location was not one in the same. He perceived to expound on this aspect. He further stated that in the process of zoning, it is proper to change zoning from a more intensive to a less intensive use. In other words a graduating down or up as the case may be from one zone to another. He respectfully requested the Commission to place a trans- ition zone of R-2 between the Montvue area and the R-3 zone to the east which naturally would fall on the Robert Harris property. He further asked that the Commission consider the topo east from the subject property as the proper location between the R-3 and R-1. He further stated that the R-2 zone on this property would not cause a decrease in traffic on Barracks Road but would tend to ameliorate it. Senator Michael referred to communications from residents in Montvue in opposition. The first communication was from Mr. Durwood Chase and the second communication was from Mr. W. L. Clover. Dr. Peyton Weary, who spoke in support of the application, stated he would like to substantiate Senator Michael's figures, and further expounded on the impact of the R-3 zone on schools, stating that five additional buses would be needed to accomodate the potential of the area. Mr. Don Heyne speaking in opposition, stated that this area of Barracks Road is going to develop eventually and it should develop residentially; however, the subject property should reflect a zone compatible not only with the R-1 to the west but the R-3 to the.east. Mr. Charles Borka, resident of Hessian Hills Subdivision adjoining subject property to the north, spoke in favor of the application. At this time, Senator Michael called for a stand of people from Montvue. Dr. Peyton Weary speaking again supporting the application stated that the present zone would tend to set a precedent and this area in particular if zoned R-3 would have a definite effect on what happens to the land across Barracks Road. "Now is the time to stop the precedent." Mr. C. Armond Paxson, representing the contract purchasers of the Robert Harris tract, spoke in opposition to the appli- cation stating that the Montvue citizens hadfino legal right to file such a petition nor did the Planning Commission have a legal right to consider the petition because of the laws of Virginia governing it. Our position is that the petitioners !,ave no right to petition since they are not the property owners or contract purchasers. He further stated that no Page 107 change of conditions have occurred since the original action VWOO by the Planning Commission relating to this property and that the Commission fully investigated and placed the R-3 on this property after due consideration. He said that there now exists a vested interest in this property. He further stated that the contract purchasers are not interested in building high-rise apartments in R-3. They are entitled to 20 dwelling units per acre and that plans showing what is contemplated would be presented later in the presentation. Mr. Paxson mentioned 1968, Planning Legislation regarding items to be considered in zoning. Mr. Paxson then introduced Mr. George Gillium who presented charts and graphs and renderings on behalf of the contract purchasers. He presented a paper expounding upon legal opinions regarding zoning cases and giving a comparison of the R-2 and R-3 zones, stating that it was possible to obtain nearly the same density in the R-2 and R-3. There would be 124 units constructed and that the heights of buildings would be 9 feet below the minimum allowed which is 35 feet. He also presented aerial photographs of the general area. Mr. Gillium expounded further on the new legislation on zoning effective July,l, 1968. He also stated that the tax factor of the subject property which would increase by 20 under the present zone in completing his presentation. The Planning Commission then presented some questions, discussion followed. Dr. Pullen, supporting the application, stated that it appears that an oversight has occurred regarding where the R-3 line was supposed to go. He referred to the letter signed by Mr. Humphrey as Zoning Administrator regarding the previous action of the Commission. He also referred to a letter dated May 22, 1968, filed by Mr. Paxson and addressed to Dr. Catlin regarding subject property. Dr. Pullen also referred to progression in zoning for this area. At this time Senator Michael was allowed a rebuttal, stating that no invested rights exists until construction starts and made references to Mr. Gillium's statement that with a little juggling around practically the same density of the present R-3 zone could be accomodated under R-2. He further stated that R-2 zoning be placed on the Robert Harris property with the line of the R-2 and R-3 being shown east of the Robert Harris property. Mr. Catlin then called for questions and/or statements from the Planning Commission. Mr. Johnson stated that he as well as the Planning Commission was concerned with the sound development of Albemarle County. He further discussed the aspects of planning and the possible pressure for development west of Montvue for similar intensive 1400 use. At this time, the Chairman declared a fifteen -minute Page 108 recess. After termination of the fifteen -minute recess, the Chairman convened the public hearing. Mr. Carr stated that the subject property has been considered as much, if not more than, any area that has come to the Planning Commission in preparing the original zoning map. He reiterated that the Commission had considered the land numerous times and that the Commission has given the property in question an intense study dated back through November, 1967 under Public Hearings. Mr. Wood at the request uphold it and in the County. stated that he on the basis that we should hoped the Commission would of good zoning practice and have a progression of land look use Mr. Maupin stated that the Commission had regarded the R-3 zone in good faith and in his opinion he could see no reason to change it. There being no further discussion, the Chairman called for a motion on the request of the Albemarle County,, -Board of Supervisors, upon petition of Montuue-citizens. Mr. Carr made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Moore, and adopted by a vote of 9 to 1 that the petition of the +, Board of Supervisors, ZMP-013 be denied and that the subject property remain R-3 as originally shown on the adopted zoning map. This concluded the public hearing. Mr. Catlin read communication regarding a Water and Recreation Conference in Virginia Beach. Asking if any member of the Commission would like to attend and if so to please contact Mr. Humphrey. Mr. Moore gave a brief summary on the joint meeting of the City and County Planning Commissions making reference to the State Planning Office who is presently preparing planning district lines which will be applied to all jurisdictions of the State. Mr. Humphrey is to keep us informed on this matter and to invite representatives of the State Planning Office to discuss this matter with the County and City when appropriate.

Mr. R. 0. Burton presented justification for the rezoning of this parcel of land stating that the subject property can not be classified as Agricultural. He further stated that six of the eleven houses, excluding his own property, have less than 2 acres and that his taxes were not based on Agriculture.

It was approved subject to perculation test being accomplished and a review by the soil conservation people regarding drainage and by the County Engineer regarding size of utilities to serve a subdivision. Mr. Blue also presented a question of interpretation of certain sections in the subdivision ordinance relating to the interpretation of what constitutes a subdivision. After a discussion, the Chairman with the consensus of the Planning Commission, instructed the secretary to ask for an opinion from the County Attorney regarding this matter. The secretary presented an addendum to the agenda. The secretary asked the Planning Commission whether they would consider holding a special meeting to review a site plan of proposed industrial development on 29 N. abutting the Rivanna River. Apparently an oversight by the developers in obtaining site approval and building permits has occurred and in order to accommodate and eliminate delay in construction of the development, a special hearing is necessary. Mr. Perkins suggestdd that the special meeting be setup to con- sider the site plan as soon as the County Planner could review the site in detail. The consensus of the Planning Commission was that this should be done. Mr. Bill Tyler and Mr. Sid Bradbury were introduced by Mr. Humphrey. Mr. Bradbury and Mr. Tyler presented maps and a verbal report of the study of the area accomplished as of Page 113 this date for the Planning Commission comments and suggestions. The secretary read communication from Mrs. June T. Moon, Clerk, Board of Supervisors requesting the Planning Commission to holu a public hearing to amz�itd the zoning ordinance. The proposed amendment relates to the amendment process as used in the zoning ordinance. The Chairman with the consensus of the Planning Commission instructed the secretary to prepare the proper wording in keeping wit'i the intent of the Board of Supervisors and to set the puL"lic hearing for August 10, 1968. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. ecretary R Fn Page 114 SPECIAL MEETING JULY 10, 1968 This was a special meeting of the Albemarle County Planning Commission held on July 10, 1968 at 4:00 P.M. in the County Office Building, Board of Supervisors Meeting Room with the following members present: Messr's Avery Catlin, Chairman; William Moore, David Carr, William Trevillian, Floyd Johnson, Cecil Maupin, Lloyd Wood, and Tom Batchelor.

The secretary presented the revised site plan of the Electronic Concepts development on Route 29 North on the Rivanna River stating that all suggestions by the County Planner, regarding the development had been shown on the revised site plan with the exception of a statement to the affect that provisions be made to allow an entrance of a service road on to the north property line of the development. All minimum requirements had been met. Page 115 A general discussion by the Commission followed during which Mr. Moore made known his concern regarding the location of the proposed building. He stated that it would be in the best interest of the County and the developer to locate the building setback from the Highway R/W further than the minimum allowed by the zoning ordinance in view of the expected improvements to Route 29 North and to limit the number of curb cuts (driveways) along the primary highways. Mr. Johnson inquired of the developer as to whether the construction of the building would allow a reduction in the depth of the office portion of the structure, thereby increasing the setback while not involving major revision to the building location. Mr. Lynch, representing the developers, stated that the firm was prepared to proceed according to the plans submitted and did not intend to deviate from them. After further discussion, Mr. Carr made the following motion seconded by Mr. Maupin and approved by a vote of 7 to 1, Mr. Moore voting nay. That the site plan of Electronics Concepts Division, "Automatic" Sprinkler Corporation of America, be approved subject to provisions being shown on the site plan for an entrance of a service drive onto the property beginning approximately 65 feet from the edge of the pavement of the northbound lane, thence a 25 foot strip being shown as the entrance and subject to the supervision of the installation of sewer and water by the County Engineer and the approval **ago Page 116 of a staking or deexceleration lane on the northbound lane by the Virginia Highway Department. The Commission in approving the site plan stated that they would advise the developer to give serious consideration to reducing the depth of the office building. The Chairman asked for discussion on further cooperation with the City Planning Commission. The following motion by Mr. Carr, seconded by Mr. Wood was adopted by the Commission unanimously: WHEREAS. the Albemarle County Planning Commission is desirous in furthering cooperation and coordination of County and City activities, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Chairman of the Albemarle County Planning Commission is hereby authorized to appoint a member or members of the County Planning Commission to serve as liason between the County and City Planning Commission and said member or members are to attend all meetings of the City Planning Commission. The Chairman then asked for discussion on having two meetings a month rather than the one presently established to accommodate the increasing work load. After a discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission that there existed the need for an additional meeting date. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the follow- ing policy and procedures: 1. That a second meeting be established on the Monday prior to the third Thursday of each month. 2. That subdivision plats, both final and preliminary shall be considered only on the first regular meeting of the month and no plat shall be considered if not filed as required by the subdivision ordinance. Page 117 3. That field trips will be conducted prior to hearings or matters which require a physical review by the Commission. The secretary submitted drafts of policy and procedures regarding Planning Commission meetings and filing of appli- cation for public hearings for the Commission's consideration.

The motion carried by a vote of 7 to 2, Dr. Marks abstaining. There was a substitute motion made by Mr. Batchelor, seconded by Mr. Johnson to amend the written text of the zoning ordinance to allow ABC stores as a permitted use in the Industrial M-1 zone.

Woodzell and Victoria H, Burton. Deerwood Subdivision from Agri- cultural A-1 to Residential R-1. Mr. Trevillian at this time disqualified himself from voting on the subject since he has interests in the surrounding area. Mr. Bailey, representing the applicant, presented a justification for the requested rezoning. Mr. Bailey elaborated on decimel ratings, existence of the subdivision prior to the zoning ordinance and stated that some potential 14 lots have been sold in the unapproved section of Deerwood Subdivision. After a discussion, Mr. Carr made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Batchelor, and unanimously approved that action on ZMP-014 be deferred until the August 12, 1968 meeting to allow the Commission to review the Airport Area Develop- ment Plan as prepared by the Planning Office and which is to be presented to the Commission tonight. 3.

After a general discussion, Mr. Carr made +he following motion. seconded by Mr. Page and adopted by a 9 to 1 vote, Mr. Maupi n aastai ni it-q:, tl±iit the Planning Commission recommends M-1 "ariufact_uri ng instead of the M-2 as submitted <-nd tha" the secretary be instructed Page 119 to initiate an amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow as a permitted use in the M-1 Manu- facturing zone "Contractors, offices, and storage yards". In doing so, the Planning Commission feels that the M-1 category would be the most compatible zone for area in view of existing zoning in the County and the existing zoning within the City of Charlottesville. The Planning Commission felt that the M-2 was much too an intensive use for this area. It should be noted that the applicant was in agreement with this recommendation. 5. ZMP-017. Walter H. and Andrea Withers. 3.18 acres from Agricultural A-1 to Residential R-1. After a discussion, Mr. Wood made the following motion, seconded by Dr. Marks and unanimously adopted that zoning map petition 017 be approved as submitted.

At this time Mr. Dave Carr noted that the secretary should be instructed to notify the engineers involved in final plats of which administrative approval has been given prior to a meeting so as to eliminate the requirement of said engineers having to appear inconveniently at the Page 123 meetings of the Commission. The Commission felt this proper and instructed the secretary to do so as well as report at each meeting on those that have been approved administratively. Mr. Moore, Vice -Chairman, presiding at this meeting commended the Commissioner's for declaring their conflict of interests when situations involving them were being considered. This is a most sensitive area and one we should all be on our guard less we bring disrepute on ourselves indivually and collectively and injure the reputation of our County government. I feel quite strongly on this subject, thus I appreciate the action of those members who so declared themselves. New Business: The secretary at this time reminded the Commissioners that their next regular meeting in September i falls on a holiday, September 2, 1968 (Labor Day).

Located on Route 240 across from Morton Frozen Food plant in the Crozet area. Assessment Map 56A(3), Parcels 9A, 9B, and 9C.

After a general discussion, Mr. Trevillian made the following motion seconded by Dr. Marks that ZMP-027 be approved. The motion was adopted unanimously in keeping with the staff report. 3. Use Permit 68-03. Robert W. Smith to amend Article 6-1-38 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to allow Drive-in theaters with a Conditional Use Permit. Page 153 The secretary stated that the applicant has made application to amend the permitted uses in the B-1 Business Districts throughout the County to allow drive-in theaters with a Conditional Use Permit. He stated that the location of a drive-in theater in his opinion would not be in conflict with the intent of the B-1 District as presented in the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The question which the Planning Commission is concerned with is whether this should be done as policy in all B-1 Districts. Mr. Smith presented evidence of the type of drive-in he was interested in developing. Mr. Edelson, Attorney representing the applicant, elaborated on the history of drive-in theaters and their location in zoning districts in the Country including the legal aspects, citing case histories. The following persons appeared in opposition to drive-in theaters in general: Mr. Garrett Kirksey, Mr. Caldwell, Mrs. Talger, Robert Wilson, Mr. W. L. Reynolds, Mrs. Evelyn Grove, Mr. Herman Loose, Mr. Wallace Bruce, Mr. Winston, Mr. John J. Carle, Mr. Harold Taylor. Mr. Edelson presented a petition signed by 88 residents in the general area in favor of allowing drive-ins in the B-1. Mr. Kirksey stated that in the drafting of the original ordinance drive-in theaters were discussed and it was ascertained at that time that the intent of the ordinance could best be served by allowing them in the M-1 Manufacturing zone with a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Edelson, representing the applicant, stated that drive-in theaters are of a commercial nature and meet the intent of the B-1 District and should be allowed as a use within that zone. A general discussion followed on the actual site proposed by Mr. Smith including aspects of traffic and esthetics. It was determined by the Chairman that this was immaterial to the question at hand. The Chairman stated this on several occasions. After a discussion, Mr. Perkins made the following motion seconded by Judge Amato that Use Permit 68-03 be denied for the following reasons: The placing of drive-in theaters as a permitted use in the B-1 Commercial zone would not be in keeping with the original intent of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, upon which individual zoning districts were set up. The motion carried by unanimous vote. Page 154 4. Use Permit 68-02. George T. Lyons to amend Article 4-1-15 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to allow antique shops with a Condi- tional Use Permit.

At this time the secretary called to the Planning Commission's attention that the mobile home amendment for the zoning ordinance would be before them on the 18th of November. Page 155 At this time the Chairman read a letter addressed to Commissioner Fugate from the Chairman and requested approval of the contents. The content of the letter referrs to the importance of improving Route 20 in Albemarle County. Dr. Marks was given the letter for conveyance to the proper authorities. The Chairman at this time instructed the secre- tary to hold future meetings which involve controversial matters in the Circuit Court Room. The Planning Commission was in agreement.

Page 164-A PINCKNEY CORPORATION PROPOSED TRAILER PARK Recommendations: I.The absence of topsoil on the steeper slopes and two large gullies in the lower areas are evidence that severe sheet erosion and quick runoff of surface water have taken place in the past. Removing the vegetative cover will make erosion active again. 2. Special care should be given to seeding all cut and fill slopes and other disturbed areas as soon as grading has been completed. 3. The natural drains in the area should be:s o,ped and seeded as sod waterways. The lower end of the main drain pre- sents a bigger problem due to accelerated runoff from roads and roofs and any other bare areas. It is suggested that a pipe be installed in the main drain below the lower road. It should have drop inlets at intervals to carry excess runoff. 4. The lower part of this swale just above the lower property line would be a good location for a desilting basin, Page 165 Planning Commission action was deferred until the December 16, 1968 meeting to enable Dr. Marks to ascertain what conditions might be imposed. C. Public Hearing to Amend Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance Section 2-1-22 to read: Mobile homes, individual, may not be located outside of mobile home parks and mobile home subdivisions except where: (1) A property owner.residing on the premises in a permanent home wishes to place a mobile home on this property in order to maintain his or her immediate family or full-time agricultural employee. Immediate family shall be defined as his or her mother, father, son or daughter. (2) Due to the destruction of a permanent home an emergency exists. A permit can be issued in this event not to exceed 12 months. The Zoning Administrator shall be authorized to issue permits in keeping with the intent of this ordinance and can require or seek any information which he may determine necessary in making the determination on cases one and two of said uses above. Mr. Forbes Reback suggested that in item (2) of the proposed amendment that "exist" should be made plural. At this time the Chairman called for a discussion on the recent staff report dealing with individual mobile homes entitled "Zoning and Regulation of Mobile Homes in Albemarle County" and what relationship it had to the proposed amendment before the Commission tonight. The staff and Executive Secretary elaborated on the objectives of the report presented to the Planning Commission at their December 2, 1968 meeting stating that it was the intent of the report to provide information to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors so that they may determine whether or not to go a step further Page 166 in providing for individaul_mobile homes in certain areas of the County. The amendment presented tonight is an attempt to.slow down the.influx of mobile homes in the County until such time a more comprehensive approach to the problem -of mobile homes could be decided upon and adopted possibly as an ordinance. It was suggested by the Commission that the staff investigate and include as an addendum -to the present report the possibility of providing for a new agricultural zone _which would allow mobile homes and report back to the Planning Commission at the earliest meeti.ng.possible. Two.gentlemen appeared.and spoke.i.n opposition not only to the.pr.oposed amendment.but.to zoning in general. At the determination of the public hearing, the Commission concurred with the previous.request that a complete com- prehensive report be made to the Commission covering all aspects.of.mobile home location at the earliest possible public.meeting. .D. Public hearing to amend Article 10 of the Albemarle ....County Zoning Ordinance to include new item "10-9-7. Public Water Supply" as it relates to mobile home parks. "Each mobile home space shall be provided with an individual connection to a public water supply." E.. Public hearing to amend Article 10-9-4. Sanitary Facilities, to provide for individual septic fields for mobile homes in certain instances as it relates to mobile home parks. "Each mobile home space shall be provided with an individual connection to a public sewer system where Page 167 the same may be made.available as an addition or extension to existing facilities; provided, however that in those areas -where existing facilities are not available, individual.connections to sanitary septic ,-."systems serving one, two or three mobile home spaces maybe approved upon the recommendation of the City - Health Officer and in accordance with the Sanitation Ordinance.of.Albemarle County. Where sanitary septic systems are approved, the Planning Commission may increase the lot area requirements in the case of unusual soil conditions or other physical .factors which may impair the health and safety of the neighborhood and upon the recommendation in writing of the City -County Health Officer." —After a discussion, Mr. Johnson made the following motion seconded.by Mr. Carr that the proposed.amendments as submitted be forwarded to the Board.of.Supervisors with the Commission's recommendation for approval.._ Unanimously approved. F..,Plats For Planning Commission Approval. 1. Plat showing 1.819 acre parcel, a portion of Albemarle Livestock.Corporation to be added to adjacent lands.owned.by Harold Wright and others, dated October, 1968 by William S. Roudabush, C.L.S. located at the intersection of Linden and.Naussau Streets. Approved as submitted subject to 50 foot building line being established extending north from the center line of Moor-e'.s Creek. G...Site Plan. 1. Eloise Yancey. For a motel and restaurant complex in a B-1 zone on Route 250 West adjacent to the Brownsville Schools. The staff presented the site plan noting that the present site plan is a revision over the one originally submitted. Because of the recent statement of policy adopted by the Planning Commission regarding highway rights -of -way and related setbacks, it was found on the original plan that there would be.a conflict between the policy and the location of structures. on.this.property. Page 168 R Mr...Yancey and Mr. Blue,. representing Mr. Yancey, .stated.that they were willing.to_comply.with the setback as adopted by the Planning Commission and as shown on the revised site.plan. .-Mr...Humphrey then noted_that..i•t.was apparent that a service.drive would be needed on this property as well as on -all. _ad,jacent B-1 commeiccial which strips 250 West from the Brownsville Schools to the intersection of Interstate 64 and U.S..Route 250 and that some application should be requir..ed.to provide for the construction of a service drive at the.time it is found to be needed. He suggested possibly a legal..agreement between the.County and the developer and/or assi.gnees.to construct the.service drive at their expense when it.i.s determined that -it is needed. The staff further noted -that the Highway Department at present does not construct service drives and.in the opinion of the staff could not be expected to do so in the future. In addition, the.staff..is of the opini.on_that.since the developer of such property, in essence, is causing an impact to be made on existing -facilities, he should be required to provide for the service drive not only to facilitiate traffic and reduce congestion but to share in the cost of improving existing ` faci.l.i.ti-es with the individual taxpayer since both will benefit from the improvement. ..After a general discussion by the Commission and appli- cant the Commission unanimously approved the revised site plan.as submitted without requirement of construction of a service _drive. Page 169 It was noted that the approved setback was established by a line following the west property line from the edge of the existing right-of-way for a distance of 110 feet and established on the east property line extending from the existing right-of-way line for a distance of 70 feet,. 2. Village Green, Ednam Forest area. Staff pre- sented the site plan requesting that it be ..approved as submitted, it meeting all requirements of the zoning ordinance relating to parking and setback requirements.
