authority in approving or disapproving subdivision plats.

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.
D. A determination by the Commission to allow preliminary
plats approved prior to April 15, 1968 to be the basis for
allowing funal submittal of plats to be considered legal
after April 15, 1968.
After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Batchelor made the
Page 94
following motion, seconded by Mr. Wood, that the Zoning Ordi-
nance be amended to state the following:
All preliminary and final subdivision plats received
by the Planning Office and approved by the Planning
Commission prior to April 15, 1968, be allowed subject
to the existing laws at that time and recognized as
non -conforming.
The Secretary was directed to proceed with the publi-
cations of legal notices in the paper to accomplish this.
Mr. Trevillian abstained from voting.
E. Further consideration of revised preliminary plan
of Canterbury Hills for the undeveloped portion thereof.
Approval of 104 lots.

Approved.
H. By R. 0. Snow, C.L.S.:

This was referred to the Planning Commission by the Board
upon request of the Road Viewers to determine the need
for taking this portion of 691 into the State Secondary
Road System. This matter was referred to Mr. Carr, Chairman
of the Road's Committee, for study and recommendation
at the next meeting.
J. A letter from R. C. Brown, Jr., Secretary of Charlottes-
ville's Planning Commission regarding joint meeting of the
County and City Planning Commissions. The Secretary was
Page 96
instructed to communicate with Mr. Brown to set up a tentative
meeting date for June 12, 1968. The Secretary is to report
back on this matter.
After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Carr made the following
motion seconded by Mr. Wood, and adopted unanimously by
the Commission:
WHEREAS, the Albemarle County Planning Commission has
thoroughly studied the Major Arterial Street and Highway
Plan as it relates to the city and county as prepared by
the Virginia Department of Highways and;
WHEREAS, a joint public hearing was held by the city
and county Planning Commissions on February 7, 1968;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Albemarle
County Planning Commission recommends to the Albemarle
County Board of Supervisors that the Charlottesville
Arterial Street and Highway Plan be approved as it relates
to the County of Albemarle as a part of the Comprehensive
County Plan with the proviso that the Virginia Department
of Highways be requested to restudy:
1. The Grady -Gordon Corridor to determine whether or
not a better location can be found for this street
and whether or not the existing streets can be
widened to accommodate the future traffic demands
without the construction of the Grady -Gordon
extension.
2. The 9th-10th Street Corridor from Cherry Avenue
to Preston Avenue to justify the demolition of
the existing residential structures between 9th
and loth Street and to improve the proposed
railroad crossing.
3. Those segments of the north -south route between
Rio Road and Interstate 64's intersection with
Route 631, being Ridge Street and McIntire Road
Extended, not now included in Stage-3 of construction,
be included in Stage 1 construction and given high
priority.
K. Virginia Citizens Planning Association annual confer-
ence, Fredericksburg. Possible attendance by the members

Page 97
Inn. The Secretary was informed that the Commission members
would be unable to attend because of other commitments.
L. Mr. Cecil Maupin brought to the attention of the
Commission, the possibility of a post office locating in the
Free Union area. A general discussion followed during
which the staff noted that there may be some problems re-
garding lot sizes, site heights, etc., contained in the
Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission directed the
Secretary to proceed with the necessary paper work in order
that a public hearing may be scheduled on June 3, 1968 to
allow public and semi-public uses subject to a site plan as
permitted uses under the Agricultural A-1 zone.
M. The Secretary introduced Mr. McCauley, who presented
an item for clarification and interpretation by the Commission
regarding mobile homes and when they become single family
dwelling units under the definition found in the Zoning Ordi-
nance. After a general discussion, the Commission advised
Mr. McCauley to proceed with a Conditional Use Permit for
the location of his mobile home and instructed the Secretary
to communicate with the Commonwealth Attorney to obtain an
opinion regarding when a mobile home loses its character
as a mobile home and becomes a single family dwelling.
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.

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.
Mr. Fennell also presented to the Commission
a copy of the subdivision covenant, placing
certain restrictions on lots within the Auburn
Hills development.
Mrs. Ellen B. 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. Farrar to

motion, seconded by Dr. Marks.
WHEREAS, in accordance with the request
of the Albemarle County Road Viewers, a
member of the Planning Commission Road's
Committee viewed the subject road and
found the road in question serving more
than one property owner,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the
Albemarle County Planning Commission refers
this back to the County Road Viewers
for action which they may deem appropriate.
2. Recreation Committee
(a) Dr. Marks reported on a meeting held by
property owners in the Totier Creek area.
He stated that the citizens in the area
approved the changes for recreation sites
as proposed by the County and noted that
one parcel of land, upon completion of
the lake would be land locked. He
further stated that it was his understanding
that the County would purchase this
property as a part of the total project.
G. New Business:
1. Mr. Lloyd Wood stated that he was concerned with
the way carnivals are operated in the County.
He proposed that an amendment be made to the

indicated that further consideration would
be given to this at the special meeting of
June 13, 1968.
2. Mr. Dave Carr reported on what he considered
a grave problem regarding Garth Road near

an investigation could be made of this road to
determine what application could be given to
eliminate the serious hazard.
Page 104

Commission that after July 1, 1968 that the
State Code would be amended to allow the Board
of Supervisors and Planning Commissions to

the members of the Planning Commission would
like to consider this in arriving at possible
procedures to follow.
5. Mr. John Humphrey, Secretary, informed the
Planning Commission that he was prepared to
embark upon a study of the airport area, if
it was the wish of the Planning Commission.
The Secretary was instructed by the Commission
to commence such a study and to include if
time permits, area studies of the interchanges
of Interstate 64.

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

1968 at 7:30 P.M. in the Board Room of the County Office
Building, Charlottesville, Virginia.

William Moore, David Carr, Tom Batchelor, Dr. Richard Marks,
Floyd Johnson, Lloyd Wood, William Perkins, and Savory Amato.
Also attending was John L. Humphrey, Secretary.
Absent were: Henry Page and William Trevillian.
The meeting was called to order and a quorum established.
The minuL-es of June 3 and June 13, 1968 were approved as

A. Public Hearings
1. ZMP-010: Henry B. Goodloe and Henry B. Gordon.
A change of zone from manufacturing M-1 to Business
B-% on approximately 90,000 square feet, fronting
on Route 240 in the Crozet area to accomodate an
ABC sere. Mr. Alvin Toms presented his justifi-
cation for the location of B-1 zone on the subject
property. NLtmerous people spoke in opposition
to the proposed use of the B-1, namely the ABC
store. Those who spoke in opposition were the
Rev. L.- B. Ruckman, James Gough, and Virgil
James. Those supporting the application were
James Sandridge. The secretary then read a
letter of opposition to the proposed rezoning
from Mr. Leslie Walton, adjacent property owner.
After a general discussion by the Commission,
it was determined that Zoning Map Petition 010
should be deferred until such time as the County
Planner can make a preliminary study into the
need for additional commercial zoning in the
immediate Crozet area. Mr. Humphrey is to report
back at the next regular meeting of August 10, 1968.
2. ZMP-011. Edwin L. and Lucille M. Leake, a change

Mr. Tom Blue was in attendance supporting the
applicants. Mr. Blue stated that his plans to
build five single family cottages for rent and
that one well would supply water to the five
units. Upon motion by Mr. Wood, seconded by
Mr. Maupin, the Planning Commission approved
Zoning Map Petition 011 for the following reasons:
(1) would be compatible with adjacent land use
and (2) is in keeping with the trend of develop-
ment in the area. It was approved unanimously.
Mr. Perkins at this time presented a question
relating to the Agricultural zone as zoning may
affect it under the requirements of the Agricultural
zone. His question was if a person owning a
100 acre tract could the person under the require-
ments of the Zoning Ordinance build more dwelling
units then allowed under the minimum lot area
of 2 acres? The secretary acting as zoning admini-
strator in this case stated that he was interpreting
the minimum 2 acre lot in the Agricultural zone.
After a general discussion, Mr. Carr made the
following motion, seconded by Mr. Johnson that
the secretary be instructed to contact a County
Attorney to determine whether or not the 2 acre
minimum lot size would be a requirement on large
tracts of land under one ownership in order to
build single family dwellings.
3. ZMP-012. R.O.B. Corporation, a change of zone
from Agriculture A-1 to Residential R-3 on 6.877
acres situated on Route 657, to permit extension
of two-family dwelling development. Mr. Townes,
County Engineer, stated that he would hope that
the Planning Commission would consider thoroughly
any possibility of trouble with the location
of sewerage disposal and water regarding this
subject property since in his opinion there is
a scarcity of water in the area and because of
its location to the city reservoir on the Rivanna
it could pose problems relating to sewerage
disposal. 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. He filed with the sec-
retary a written text containing his justifi-
cation. Those who spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning were as follows: Harrison 011ey,
Hershel Porter, Jim Willis, Bedford Moore,
Page 111
Mrs. Marks, Cecil Gorley, Mrs. Bedford Moore,
and Mrs. Thomas. An evaluation of the petition
given by the opposition relating to traffice con-
ditions, lack of proper road facilites, increasing
density and the non compatibility of the request
as it relates to adjacent land use. After a
general discussion, Mr. Perkins made the following
motion, seconded by Mr. Amato that ZMP-012 be
denied for the following reasons: (1) the
extension of the duplex development would not be
compatible with adjacent land use and facilities
are not available to provide for the safety and
welfare of the residents in the area. The
motion carried by a 5 to 4 vote.
4. CU-4. Goldene R. Wells. To allow an extension
of an existing trailer park on 23.4 acres situated
on State Route 53, five miles east of Charlottesville,
Virginia. The secretary presented the application
and described the application for the extension
of the existing trailer park. A general discussion
followed by the Planning Commission after which
Mr. Moore made the following motion, seconded
by Mr. Wood and unanimously adopted by the
Commission that the Conditional Use Permit be
denied for the following reasons: (1) the
extension of the trailer park would not be in
the best interest of the area. (2) Evidence
was not submitted of having obtained approval
for a public water and sewer system. At this
time Mr. Moore elaborated on the need for an
evaluation and study of the trailer park problem.
Mr. Moore made the following motion seconded by
Mr. Batchelor that the County Planner be instructed
to study the problem of trailer park locations
and to report back to the Commission with proper
recommendations regarding the proper approach
to the question. The Planning Commission
unanimously approved the above motion.
B. Final Plats:
1. By B. Aubrey Huffman, C.E.:
(a) Plat showing Parcel A, containing 1.142
acres being a portion of the Clara Morris
property situated in Crozet, Virginia. Tabled

ft. access road.

of Holland B. Garth on east side of State
Route 600 approximately 1 mile S.W. State
Route 641. Approved as submitted.

Vi l l -fie, .",1 bemarl e Co-!nty. 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.

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

The meeting was called to order and a quorum established.
The minutes of July 1, and July 10, 1968 were approved as
presented.
A. Public Hearings
1. ZMP-010. This was a continuation of a public
hearing held on the July 1, 1968 meeting, After a
Page 118
general discussion by the Commission and a
review of the original presentation by Mr.
Herbert Pickford representing the applicant,
Judge Amato made the following motion, seconded
by Mr. Wood that ZMP-010, Alvin Toms, be
approved as submitted. 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. This motion failed for lack of
majority. Reasons for approval was that the
subject area was the proper location for
expansion of business in Crozet.
2. ZMP-014. William N. 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. ZMP-015. Walter A. Young. 14 acres from
Agricultural A-1 to Residential R-1. After a
general discussion on the request, Mr. Johnson
made the following motion, seconded by Mr.
Moore and adopted by unanimous vote_
that ZMP-015, Walter A.
Young be approved as submitted since it is the
opinion of the Commission that the rezoning of
this property would be in keeping with the
existing development of the area.
4. ZMP-016. C. T. O'Neill and C. Wright. 2.5 acres
from Agricultural A-1 to Manufacturing M-1.
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. The Planning Commission in
recommending this is of the opinion that the
rezoning would be compatible with adjacent
land use and the location of this rezoning is
in an area which should be considered for a
zone allowing lots less than two acres.
At this time the Chairman relinquished the Chair to
Mr. Carr. Mr. Moore then presented the following motion.
That the secretary prepare proper wording in the form of an
amendment to the County Zoning Ordinance, to allow individual
mobile homes in mobile home parks and mobile home subdivisions
only. Mr. Batchelor seconded the motion which was adopted
unanimously.

The Board received word of the death of Col. Henry B. Goodloe who served

G. Preliminary Plats
1. Preliminary plat showing addition to Ednam
Forest dated July 25, 1968. The Planning
Commission unanimously approved subject preli-
minary plat subject to consultation with Soil
Conservation Service to determine proper drainage
easements and evaluation of soils in receiving
septic fields. In approving the preliminary
plan of Ednam Forest, the Planning Commission
waived the maximum length of a cul-de-sac which
is 700 feet in connection with Rockwood Place
because of unusual topography which prevents a
proper tie-in with the present road network.
H. Site Plan
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the
site plan submitted for a new 7-Eleven store to
be located on property fronting on Hydraulic Road
near Inglewood Drive which as the subject of a
final plat considered on this date. Subject site
plan is dated July 3, 1968.
The secretary at this time presented the Commission with
copies of the Airport Area Development Plan for their study
and review and for possible public hearings.
At this time the Chairman recognized Mr. Hanlep who
presented a plea for emergency handling of a Conditional Use
Permit for the location of a mobile home prior to September
4, 1968 meeting of the Planning Commission. It was the con-
sensus of the Commission that this matter be referred to the
County Attorney for legal determination to alleviate the
assumed emergency. Judge Amato abstained.
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). After
a discussion, it was the consensus of the members
present that the next regular meeting be setup for Wednesday,
September 4, 1968.
There being no further business, the meeting was
adjourned.

At this time the secretary requested that the Planning
;
Commission authorize him to place on the agenda on the

"Consideration of the Policies and Procedures of the
Planning Commission" for their possible approval. It

At this time the Chairman recognized a representative

that an error did not exists based on the information pre-
14 00
sented and instructed Mr. Rogan to proceed into normal
channels in making application for rezoning to the proper
zone and to accomplish his proposed development.
At this time the secretary presented a request from
Mr. Joel Cochran who granted that an error had occurred in

After a general discussion, the Planning Commission instructed
the secretary to communicate with Mr. Cochran stating that
he should proceed through normal channels in requesting

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

tional Use Permit. This application was with-
drawn with the unanimous consent of the Planning
Commission.
5. CU-47. Robert Walker to locate a Radio Tower
and Antennae on property located north of I-64
at Route 250 near Shadwell. Assessment Map 78,

(1) Plan of construction being filed in the
office of the secretary of the Planning Commission.
(2) Traps be provided in connection with the
antennae to eliminate possible TV interference
in the operation of the antennae.
6. CU-43. Roie M. Godsey. To locate a stable for
light horses and ponies on property located in

continued compliance with the requirements of
the Health Department.
7. CU-49. Robert W. Smith to locate a Drive-in
theater on 60 acres on 250 E. Assessment
Map 79, Parcel 4. The Planning Commission
was informed by the secretary that the appli-
cation could not be heard in view of the
negative action on Use Permit 68-03.
8. CU-48. Catherine Wood Herrschaft to locate a
mobile home on one acre on Route 789 (Buck Mtn.
Rd.). Assessment Map 56, Parcel 4. Approved
subject to existing trees remaining for screening.
9. CU-50. Robert W. Lumpp to locate a mobile home

one mile north of Proffitt Road. Assessment Map

existing tree cover.
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. It was noted at this time by Mr. Carr
and Mr. Moore that in the future they would
present to the Commission their recommendations regarding
highways in Albemarle County.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

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. The staff noted at this
time that he hoped that all future developments
of this size would present to the Commission
and the staff an overall master plan of the
area to better determine the needs of such a
development. The Planning Commission unanimously
adopted the site plan as submitted.
H.. Old Business.
. Mr.- Carr of the Commission's Road Committee reported
that the -request of the Planning Commission to communicate
with the Virginia Highway Department regarding the possi-
bili.ty of updating and enlarging upon the adopted transportation
plan.of.Albemarle County and Charlottesville had been accomplished�
The -Committee is now awaiting an answer to the communication.
_.Ther.e being no further business, the meeting was adjourned,

access to land from the site. Relocation of
the driveway further east would result in a
traffic hazard. After a general discussion,
