She stated that he owns four acres to the center of the road; in order for Mr. Hill to sub- divide this property into two 2-acre parcels, as is proposed, 25' from the centerline of the road is required to be dedicated, causing a loss of about 12 acre of land. Mrs. Scala stated that the applicant is requesting the Commission to waiver the requirement of dedicating the 25'. Mr. Hill stated that he does not wish to waive this requirement of. dedica- tion, he wishes to request that the Commission waive the lot size requirement.

Mr. Cotten stated that he is aware of these twelve conditions and is in agreement with the staff. He stated that the sight distance problem was not revealed until the final survey was taken. Mr. Cotten emphasized that the road will be built to State specification standards, with that exception - it would ruin the land in attempts to achieve proper sight distance requirements. Mr. Cotten added that the only change that has taken place is that the roads have been changed to private roads rather than state roads; maintenance by association vs. maintenance by the state highway department. Mrs. Graves asked where the discrepancy in sight distance is. Mr. Montenegro indicated such on the map. Mr. Easter asked for public comment. There was none. The public hearing was closed. Mr. McCann supported the application. Col. Washington asked why the private roads will not be constructed to the corner of the property. Mr. Cotten stated that a temporary turnaround will be required if this is done. Mrs. Graves asked if there will be sidewalks to serve this property. Mr. Montenegro stated yes. Dr. Moore asked the discrepancy in sight distance. Mr. Montenegro stated that the requirement is over 2001, 150' is provided. He stated that there is no problem with safety at this location. Mrs. Graves asked if City approval is required. Mr. Montenegro stated yes. Mr. McCann moved that the Commission recommend approval of this petition with the 12 conditions recommended by the staff. Mr. Huffman seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Mr. Montenegro informed Mr. Cotten that the Board of Supervisors will consider this application at their meeting on Monday, June 12, 1978. There was no further discussion. EARL ARMENTROUT, JR. PRELIMINARY PLAT - Mr. Earl Armentrout, the applicant was present. Mrs. Scala presented the staff report to the Commission stating that this property is located on the south side of Route 743 near Advance Mills, zoned A-1 Agricultural. Mrs. Scala stated that the applicant proposes to divide two 2-acre lots on an existing right-of-way. The staff recommends approval of this plat subject to the following conditions: 1. Health Department approval; 2. Road must be approved by County Engineer; 3. Maintenance agreement to be approved and recorded; 4. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of commercial entrance; 5. Note on plat: "No further division along this right-of-way and no more than one dwelling unit per parcel without Planning Commission approval"; 6. Dedication of 25' along frontage of residue acreage; 7. Width of right-of-way should be indicated. Mrs. Scala stated that the entrance has adequate sight distance, but will need to be improved to commercial standards, in staff opinion. Mrs. Scala added that she had spoken with the Highway Department, who indicated that the entrance is probably wide enough, but will require paving from the road back to the right- of-way line. Mrs. Scala informed the Commission that Mr. Tucker had indicated that the Commission should consider allowing the staff to approve final plats that are presented exactly as the preliminary, cutting down on the long agendas, and eliminating the developer's expense of an extra $40.00 for the final plat approval. Mrs. Graves asked if the adjoining property owners are notified on the preliminary and final. Mrs. Scala stated yes, but hopefully the ordinance can be changed for notification only on the preliminary if the staff is allowed to approve the final plat administratively. Mr. Easter stated that the staff are professional people, he has the confidence in them to review these applications and bring the ones before the Commission that have not complied with the preliminary. Mrs. Graves and Mr. McCann concurred. Dr. Moore stated that the Commission will have to exam the preliminary plats closer if the staff will be allowed to approve the final administratively. Mrs. Scala stated that it was not Mr. Tucker's suggestion to allow the staff to approve all final plats after the Commission had reviewed the preliminary, this is suggested on an individual basis - if the preliminary is exactly the same as the final. The decision is up to the Commission. Col. Washington stated that even in this instance, the Commission does not have even the minimum of information required as basis for a decision. He stated that if the Commission is asked to approve this preliminary and allow the staff to take it from there, the Commission has abrigated what they are here for. He stated that a topo has not been provided - there is not enough information. Mrs. Scala stated that that information can be provided for the preliminary. ON Col. Washington stated that the staff is obligated to supply that infor- mation to the Commission, without the Commission asking for it. He stated that he thought this suggestion is a shot in the dark and he doesn't know the purpose of it, but there is a problem with it. Mr. Easter stated that this will be considered on a later agenda. Mrs. Scala added that if it is located within the South Fork Rivanna Watershed, it is always so noted. Mr. Easter asked Mrs. Scala if the staff feels that this application has presented enough information for the Commission to approve the preliminary. Mrs. Scala stated yes. A field check has been made. Mr. Easter asked Mr. Armentrout if he agrees and understands all the conditions recommended by the staff. Mr. Armentrout stated yes. Mr. Easter asked for public comment. There was none. Mrs. Scala asked the Commission to discuss condition #6, whether or not the dedication of 25' along the frontage of the residue acreage will be required at this time. Col. Washington asked Mr. Payne if the Commission has authority to require this dedication at this time. Mr. Payne stated that if it isn't required, that is the advantage of the waiver of the ordinance. Mr. Montenegro added that in previous discussion, it was determined that the residue acreage is abnormally large and that it would not be required. Mr. McCann asked the applicant if he has a problem with the dedication at this time. Mr. Armentrout stated no. Mr. McCann suggested that the dedication be required at this time. Col. Washington asked if there is a topo available on this property. Mrs. Scala stated no, it is the staff's discretion to require a topo and did not in this case. Col. Washington stated that he determines this to be what might be called a whim of the staff and he no longer wants to accept it. Mr. McCann stated that he has a problem with too many conditions recommended by the staff. Col. Washington stated that the idea of subdividing based on this amount of information is ridiculous. He stated that in this case, the Commission is dealing with the contract purchaser, many times this is not the case. It is the contract purchaser who thinks he has buildable lots and doesn't. Mr. McCann stated that most definitely, Health Department approval is required. Col. Washington stated that some subidivisions that are brought before the Commission have lots that are not buildable - they are too steep and too broken and too many creeks; it is virtually impractical. He stated that he doesn't know that this applies here, but without the advantage of a map, the topography can not be studied. Mr. McCann stated that in this respect, he relies on the staff for that particular information, if the staff sees no problem, then neither does he. Col. Washington stated that the staff has not presented a single case of information in that regard yet, that is what he is trying to get. Mrs. Scala stated that she and Mr. Montenegro had made a field check of the property, it is very gently rolling property, she stated that she had also consulted the USGS map. Mrs. Scala stated that she feels that the staff is competent in their review and if there is a problem, it is brought before the Commission. EARL ARMENTROUT, JR. PRELIMINARY PLAT, continued She stated that in her opinion, these are buildable lots. Col. Washington stated that he is glad to hear it, that is the kind of information he has been trying to get all along and it has not been forthcoming. Mr. Huffman informed Mr. Armentrout that this one condition will require Mr. Ray, the abutting owner, the dedicate that 25' of right-of-way along Route 743. Mr. Vest moved that this application be approved with the seven conditions recommended by the staff. Mr. McCann seconded the motion which carried unanimously with no further discussion. LOVELL COLEMAN PRELIMINARY PLAT - Mr. Lovell Coleman, the applicant was present. Mrs. Scala presented the staff report to the Commission stating that this is located on the west side of Route 604 north of Earlysville, zoned A-1, Agricultural. She stated that the applicant wishes to divide 6.2 acres into two parcels, each 3.1 acres. Parcel C-1 is to be served by an existing 14' right-of-way and existing 20' right-of-way. Parcel C-2 is to be served by an old county road, which is not presently used. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff would recommend that both Parcels C-1 and C-2 be served by the old county road which should be improved to the satisfaction of the County Engineer with a commercial entrance. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff recommends approval of this application subject to the following conditions: 1. Health Department approval; 2. Highway Department approval of a commercial entrance; r 3. Old county road is to be improved to the satisfaction of the County Engineer; 4. Parcels C-1 and C-2 to be served by the old county road; 5. Maintenance agreement for road to be approved and recorded. Mrs. Scala stated that upon a field check of this property, it was determined that the old county road was overgrown and not able to drive. She stated that she spoke with the surveyor, who had walked this area and who stated that the property can be divided in this fashion. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff requires proof that this is an old county road or that an easement exists. Mrs. Scala stated that since there is no longer a need for the right-of-way, the surveyor has suggested that it be abandonned. The staff agrees. Mr. Easter asked the applicant if he agrees with and understands all the conditions recommended by the staff. Mr. Coleman stated yes. Mr. Easter asked for public comment. There was none. Mr. McCann moved that this application be approved with the five conditions recommended by the staff. Mr. Vest seconded the motion. Mrs. Graves added a sixth condition, that the right-of-way is to be abandonned. Mr. McCann amended his motion, Mr. Vest concurred. The motion carried unanimously with no further discussion. "qg GRACE PHILLIPS FINAL PLAT - Ms. Grace Phillips, the applicant and Mr. Rick Barbour, private purchaser were present. Mrs. Scala presented the staff report to the Commission noting that this is located on the east side of Route 20 North on existing 40, right- of-way, zoned A-1, Agricultural. The applicant is proposing to divide one 2-acre lot, leaving a residue of about 19 acres. Mrs. Scala stated that since this new house will be the seventh using the road, it should be improved to the standard for 6-10 lots. The County Engineer has inspected this road and has found it to range in width from 9 to 11 feet. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff supports this application with the following conditions: 1. Maintenance agreement to be approved and recorded; 2. All private road requirements must be met; 3. Waiver of requirement that road be owned by abutting lot owners; 4. Provide evidence of right-of-way for County Attorney's approval. Mr. Easter asked the applicant for comment. Mr. Barbour introduced himself to the Commission stating that in regard to the maintenance agreement, he will accept full responsibility for the maintenance of the road. Mrs. Phillips added that the adjacent owners concur with the requirement of maintenance and have signed an agreement stating such and submitted it to the County Attorney's office. Mrs. Phillips stated that the agreement was not accepted by that office. Mr. Easter asked Mr. Payne why the agreement had not been accepted. Mr. Payne stated that it did not contain adequate information as an agreement for maintenance and it did not provide a lien. Mr. Payne continued stating that he would sign an adequate agreement stating that the contract purchaser is solely responsible for maintenance, if the applicant is prepared to accept this expense. Further, Mr. Payne stated that this agreement should be of record so that future purchasers along this road will be aware that Mr. Barbour has this responsibility. Mr. Barbour stated that the only residents along this road are those of his family and close friends. They have all agreed to maintain this road and always have. Mr. McCann suggested that the requirement for a maintenance agreement can be eliminated if the applicant is put on notice that no further subdivision shall occur. Mr. Payne stated that it would be the first waiver of the private roads ordinance. Mr. Montenegro stated that the maintenance agreement is a general requirement. Mr. McCann stated that the agreement should speak to Barbour's sole responsibility for maintenance. Col. Washington stated that a maintenance agreement should certainly be required. Mr. Easter suggested deferral of this application until the contract pur- chaser could provide an adequate maintenance agreement stating that he is solely responsible for the maintenance of the road. Mr. Payne worded the agreement as follows: He stated that he will accept a maintenance agreement which speaks to the two property owners directly involved: Mr. Barbour and Ms . Phillips, as long as this instrument shows very clearly that these two property owners have the normal maintenance responsibilities themselves. GRACE PHILLIPS FINAL PLAT, continued Col. Washington moved that this application be deferred. Mr. Vest seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Mr. Phillips asked when the application will again be heard. Mr. Easter stated that it is deferred until May 30, 1978. Dr. Moore asked Ms. Phillips if she plans further subdivision along this road. Ms. Phillips stated no. After considerable discussion, the Commission indicated that they would not require that the road be constructed to private road standards unless further subdivision should occur. There way no further discussion. FLOYD BATES FINAL PLAT - Mr. Floyd Bates, the applicant was present. Mrs. Scala presented the staff report to the Commission stating that this is located on the west side of Route 647 near Cismont, zoned A-1 Agricultural. The applicant proposes to add two acres from an adjacent parcel which will become a part of an existing 2.82 parcel which contains a dance hall and restaurant. The adjacent parcel will contain a 4.0 acre residue. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff maintains that since the dance hall is a non -conforming use, there is a note on the plat which states that the non -conforming use shall not be expanded onto the additional two acre portion of the property. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff recommends approval of this application subject to one condition: 1. The owner of the adjacent parcel should also sign the plat. Mr. Easter asked for public comment. There was none. Dr. Moore asked if the back parcel has an easement for access. Mrs. Scala stated that there is not an easement for access, it is not the applicant's intent to subdivide. Mr. Bates stated that is true. Mrs. Graves moved that this application be approved with the condition recommended by the staff. Mr. McCann seconded the motion. Dr. Moore stated that the property will be landlocked if no easement is provided. Mr. Payne agreed. The motion was amended to include a second condition stating: Show an easement to the rear parcel (residue). Mrs. Graves accepted the amendment. Mr. McCann concurred. The motion carried unanimously with no further discussion. FLOYD BATES REVISED SITE PLAN - Mr. Floyd Bates, the applicant was present. Mrs. Scala presented the staff report to the Commission stating that this is located on the west side of Route 647 near Cismont, zoned A-1 Agricultural. The applicant wishes to locate his residence in front of the existing dance hall and restaurant. This requires that the parking lot be shifted toward the rear of the property. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff has no problem with this request. A more specific landscape was approved and is on file with the original site plan. The applicant has agreed to save a large tree which is located in the rear of the parking lot. Mrs. Scala stated that the staff has no conditions of approval.. Mr. Bates had no comment.

Williams obtained site plan approval for both properties in 1973, the site plan was never completed. Mrs. Scala stated that the applicant wishes to relocate the entrance and add a decel lane, which the Highway Department has approved. Because this change requires a new site plan, Mr. Terry is subject to present regulations. This site plan has been revised to show what is actually proposed and existing on the site. The number of parking spaces on Terry's property has been increased from 39 to 47. The bank property will lose about 7 spaces which the original plan showed located partially on Mr. Terry's property and about 2 spaces at the entrance, leaving about 32 spaces. Mrs. Scala informed the Commission that the applicant does not propose any landscaping at this time. She further stated that the staff recommends approval of this application subject to the following condition: 1. Staff approval of landscape plan. Mrs. Scala informed the Commission that she had informed the bank of all correspondence regarding Mr. Terry's application; no representative from the bank was present. She stated that the bank has now conveyed their property to a third party who was not aware of the situation. JOSEPH M. TERRY PROPERTY REVISED SITE PLAN, continued Mrs. Graves asked if the bank has submitted a revised site plan. Mrs. Scala stated no, but the staff has suggested this. Mr. Easter asked for public comment. Ms. Margaret Hahn, realtor, introduced herself to the Commission as a representive for Mr. Hansen, who is the third party - purchaser of the bank property. She suggested that this hearing be delayed until Mr. Hansen returns; he is not in the country at this time. Mr. Terry stated that the parking spaces are on his property, they are not of Mr. Hansen's concern. Mr. Payne reiterated that the staff has made all possible efforts to make correspondence with the bank, who has not complied. This is a problem between the bank and Mr. Hansen. Mr. Easter stated that a landscape plan should be provided now. Mr. McCann and Dr. Moore concurred. Mr. Terry stated that Phase II will be constructed next year, he cannot provide a landscape plan at this time. Mrs. Scala stated that the landscape plan must be approved by the staff before building permit is issued, however, the developer can bond it until next planting season. Mr. Terry informed the Commission of the dangerous ditch at the corner of Route 29 North and Airport Road. He stated that the Highway Department has indi- cated that they will not improve it.
