The Albemarle County Planning Commission conducted a meeting on
Tuesday, June 19, 1979, 7:30 p.m., Board Room, County Office Building, Charlottesville,
Virginia. Those members present were Col. William R. Washington, Chairman;
Mrs. Norma A. Diehl, Vice -Chairman; Mr. Layton McCann; Mr. James Huffman; Mr. Charles
Vest; Mr. James Skove; Mrs. Joan Graves; and Mr. Tim Lindstrom. Absent were
Mr. Kurt Gloeckner and Dr. James Moore. Other officials present were Mr. Robert
Tucker, Director of Planning; Mr. Ronald S. Keeler, Assistant.Director of Planning;
Mr. Frederick Payne, Deputy County Attorney; and Miss Mason Caperton, Planner.
Col. Washington called the meeting to order after establishing a quorum
was present.
KENNETH DAVIS FINAL PLAT - located on north side of Route
638, north of Scottsville:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mr. Lewis Martin on behalf of the applicant questioned the staff's
suggestion for lots 2 and 3, since it implies a future road. He felt that road
is economically undesirable and the owners of the lots could determine the
frontage improvements. He stated that the Highway Department's recommendation
is a problem in that there is no evidence to prove it will facilitate the drainage
of Route 638 for such a short distance. He felt it is an excessive cost to the
developer and may loater cause expense to the state. Furthermore, he noted that
Route 638 is a dead end road.
Miss Caperton advised the Commission that the applicant is also requesting
waiver for the pipestem lots.
There was no public comment and Col. Washington closed the public
discussion.
Mr. Payne advised the Commission that a hardship must be determined to
waive the subdivision ordinance, in this case the pipestem lots.
Col. Washington stated that the Commission has been consistent in its
attempt to have common entrances. In view of the fact that Route 638 is a dead
end road, this might not be so important, however he was inclined to be consistent
and support the staff recommendation.
Mr. Huffman said that he sees this subdivision as no different from
others in the area which have been required to make frontage improvements. And he
was not aware of a hardship to justify the pipestem lots.
Mrs. Diehl opposed the pipestem lot configuration.
Mr. Vest also supported the frontage improvements.
Mr. McCann moved approval subject to the following conditions,
noting that the applicant's representative has not addressed a hardship case:
1. This plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of entrance
locations and frontage improvements placing the shoulder catch point at
15 feet from the centerline and ditch at 18 feet;
b. Lots 2, 3, 6, and 7 have a common entrance easement and comply with the
private road ordinance including:
1. County Engineer approval of the road specifications;
2. County Attorney approval of maintenance agreement;
C. Lots 4 and 5 have a common entrance, if sight distance is available;
d. Written Health Department approval.
Mr. Vest seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of 6-1-0,
with Mrs. Graves abstaining.
Dudley Mountain Lodges Preliminary Plat:
Mrs. Diehl moved the Commission accept the applicant's request for
withdrawal. Mr. Vest seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with no
discussion.
SP-79-28. Floyd R. Shifflett:
At the request of the applicant, Mr. Huffman moved discussion and
action on the petition be deferred until June 26, 1979. The motion, seconded
by Mr. Vest, carried unanimously, with no discussion.
SP-79-25. Viola Irene Turner has petitioned the Board of Supervisors
to locate a mobile home on 4.98 acres zoned A-1. Property is located
west of Route 627 in Esmont, approximately 0.5 miles north of the inter-
section of Routes 6 and 627. County Tax Map 128A-1, Parcel 33,
Scottsville Magisterial District.
Mr. Keeler presented the staff report, noting the letter of objection
from adjoining property owners.
Ms. Turner stated that the rubble will be moved on Friday of that
week.
There was no public comment and Col. Washington closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Diehl questioned if the approval for the first mobile home included
the four conditions in the staff recommendation.
Mr. Keeler replied that conditions 1, 3, and 4 were from the original
permit.
cl��
Mr. Huffman said that he had contacted the zoning office and the
debris was to be cleaned from the site prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy.
Col. Washington ascertained from the applicant that only two mobile
homes are planned for this property.
Mrs. Graves questioned if the Health Department has approved two septic
tanks.
Ms. Turner stated that the area must first be cleaned up, and then the
Health Department has said that only one septic tank may be necessary.
Mrs. Graves asked if this could be done on an undivided lot.
Mr. Payne replied that if the Health Department requires only one
septic tank, that is all that is necessary. The same goes for the well.
Mr. Skove questioned how Condition #4 is enforced.
Mr. Payne replied that this would be a matter of complaints from
neighbors - i.e. it would be necessary that area residents complained to the
Zoning Office.
Mr. Skove moved approval of the special permit subject to the following
conditions:
1. Compliance with Section 11-14-2 of the Zoning Ordinance;
2. Zoning Administrator approval of screening ( such as landscape screening,
fencing, etc. ) prior to issuance of a building permit;
3. Removal of debris and rubble of dwelling destroyed by fire at this site to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator prior to issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy;
4. Continued maintenance of property so as to remain orderly and clean to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator.
Mr. Huffman said that past conditions have led people to believe that
condition #4 will not be followed unless the condition is rigidly enforced.
Mr. Keeler noted for the record that SP-77-81 is valid until August 1,
1979.
Mrs. Diehl expressed concern for condition #4.
Mr. McCann seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM:
Mr. Tucker presented the staff report, noting that this is a public
hearing on recent work session information.
There was no public comment and Col. Washington closed the public hearing.
Mr. Skove said that he would suggest the Commission recognize
the Crozet Interceptor as a fundamental means for implementing the Comprehensive
Plan.
Mr. McCann said that he might not favor alternative funding for the
interceptor unless those monies are other than local funds - he said that it is too
big a project for the taxpayers of the county to fund. He said that he preferred
looking at alternative means of disposing of the waste as opposed to alternative means
of funding. If growth is directed to Crozet, it is necessary to have a method
for disposing of sewage.
Mr. Skove said that he does not believe the State Water Control Board will
approve another sewage treatment plant.
Mr. Lindstrom questioned the possibility of sidewalks for Georgetown
Road as part of the Capital Improvements Program.
Mr. Tucker replied that he has an intern in the Planning Department
studying sidewalks in the urban area. He said that it might be better to look at
the entire urban area at a later date.
Mr. Lindstrom said that there is a real problem in the Georgetown Road
area and the road is a real danger to pedestrians in that area.
Mr. Tucker said that the Commission could certainly recommend a pedestrian
path on Georgetown Road if it chooses, however he has no cost estimates available
for their review.
Mrs. Graves said a bikeway should be provided there as well.
Mr. Lindstrom advised that there may be insufficient right-of-way
for a bikeway.
Mr. Huffman said that he prefers to wait for the study on sidewalks
in the urban area, and determine what priority Georgetown Road is.
Mrs. Diehl moved the Commission forward the Capital Improvements Program
to the Board of Supervisors with the following comments:
1. No recommendation is being made at this time on the Education Department
requests until their requests are finalized by the School Board and reviewed
by the Planning Commission;
2. For installation of fire hydrants where waterline improvements are necessary,
the Commission recommends only two projects be undertaken; (a) Northfields
connection from Rio Road, and (b) Improvement to the line serving the
Western Albemarle, Henley, and Brownsville School Complex;
3. In as much as the Planning Commission recognizes that the Crozet Interceptor
is a key element to the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission recommends
that the Board of Supervisors consider means of funding the Crozet Interceptor
or alternative means of sewage treatment in that area;
4. That the Board of Supervisors consider a pedestrain path along Georgetown
Road to be provided in conjunction with the road improvements proposed for
Georgetown Road.
Mr. Skove seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with no discussion.
Mabel Agee Final Plat - located on west side of Route 723,
southwest of Esmont:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mr. Agee advised the Commission that he does not know at this time
where he wants his entrance to be.
There was no public comment, and Col. Washington closed the public
discussion.
Mrs. Graves moved approval of the plat subject to the following
conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Written Health Department approval;
b. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of entrance
location;
c. Waiver of frontage requirements is granted;
d. Correct deed book reference.
Mr. McCann seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with
no discussion.
Layne Final Plat located on north side of Route 750 between
Route 637 and Route 250 West, near Nelson County:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mr. Layne advised the Commission that the private road is about 900 feet
in length; that perc tests have been done; that $200 have been expended on the entrance
improvements; and that he is working on the road maintenance agreement at this time.
There was no public comment and Col. Washington closed the public
discussion.
Mr. McCann moved approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Written Health Department approval;
b. Compliance with the Private Road Ordinance, including:
1. County Engineer approval of the road;
2. County Attorney approval of the maintenance agreement.
Mrs. Deihl seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with
no discussion.
Bending Oaks Final Plat - located at the southeastern corner of
the intersection of Routes 676 and 677:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mr. Tom Lincoln, representing the applicant, noted the location of each
lots entrance.
There was no public comment and Col. Washington closed the public
discussion.
Mrs. Graves questioned if lot 1 could share an entrance with lot 4.
Mr. Lincoln said that the surveyor and the Highway Department did not
feel that would be a good idea. He showed on the plat where such an entrance
would have to be.
Mr. Huffman suggested a condition of shared entrances where possible.
He then moved approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Written Health Department approval;
b. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of entrance
locations and frontage improvements;
C. Shared entrances where possible;
d. owner's signature.
Mr. McCann seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with no discussion.
Waverly Final Plat - located on south side of Route 614 three miles
southeast of White Hall:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mrs. Graves questioned the omission of Health Department approval of
each lot.
Miss Caperton replied that the staff does not have that. However it
has received approval of two septic field locations for each lot. The Health
Department has approved the soil study.
Mrs. Die1.al questioned if the Health Department will use the soil study
for its approval basis.
Mr. Keeler replied that the Health Department is required to make an on -site
inspection.
Mr. McCann noted that the Health Department makes no borings - they check
the ditches for soil type, etc.
Mr. Randy Rinehart said that he believes the Health Department does make its
own borings.
Mr. Earl Brunger, soil scientist who did the soil study, said that usually
2-3 holes are bored; he said that he himself did this, and usually the Health
Department will base its approval on the basis of the soil study, unless the owner
requests borings by the Health Department. He said that there may be additional
areas suitable over the 10,000 square feet that is definitely there.
Mrs. Diehl said that Mr. Gordon Yager did not note the specific
steep slopes or where the soils might be marginal.
c�f�U
Mr. Lindstrom said that the Board of Supervisors, in its approval
of the preliminary plat, has required there be soil tests on each lot. The
Board also requested perc tests and alternative drain sites for the septic systems.
Mrs. Diehl questioned the physical improvements to the property.
Miss Caperton replied that there is an existing house and road. When the runoff
control permit is reviewed, the impervious cover will again be reviewed.
Mr. Skove noted that lots 8 and 9 have been combined, as well as lots
33 and 34 from the preliminary. He determined that this was based on the soil
scientist report.
Mr. Brunger discussed the three ranges for the soil study, noting
that it is based on slope, soil depth, and ability to perc. He pointed out that
the lots proposed are large lots with a combination of slopes.
Mr. Tom Lincoln, surveyor, said he had worked closely with Mr. Brunger;
the plat was drawn according to the tests as they progressed. The roads were
changed according to the location of the septic fields.
Mrs. Jan Thomas, an adjoining property owner, said that with all the
intolerable circumstances, she does not see how the plat can be approved. The
plat is not in conjunction with the Master Plan recommendations, the roads are
intolerable, and the slopes are steep.
Col. Washington said that the Commission does not have a quota of the
number of lots that can be approved within any given time period. He said that
there is some question of how to deal with the intolerable roads.
Mr. Skove acknowledged that if the plat meets the requirements of the
ordinances, the County has to approve the plat.
Col. Washington noted that the lot size does exceed the two -acre minimum.
Mrs. Karen Lillehelt, an adjoining property owner, said that the school
impact report has no meaning if it cannot be used as a basis for denial.
Col. Washington said that if a serious enough problem exists, the
Commission does consider the school impact. Then if there is overcrowding in
some schools, the district lines are redrawn.
Mr. Huffman pointed out that 50% of the roads in the county are non -
tolerable. The Commission has approved subdivisions on all these roads until
they are almost a hazard.
There was no additional public comment, and Col. Washington closed the public
discussion.
Mr. Lindstrom said that the county -has to operate under the existing
laws and the subdivision ordinance is very specific about what can and cannot
be approved - there is absolutely no discretion. There are specific laws
with regard to enabling legislation and the Supreme Court has its own mandates.
__1 6
Mrs. Graves said it is her understanding the Supreme Court recently
upheld the Comprehensive Plan over the requirements of a zoning ordinance.
Mr. Payne said such a ruling would be inconsistent with the laws he
is aware of.
Col. Washington questioned the right-of-way width along the residue.
Mr. Lincoln replied that it is a 30' prescriptive easement.
Col. Washington then established that no dedication is being made along
the residue. He commented that he would hate to see the residue as an obstacle in
future road improvements.
Mr. Rinehart said that he does not feel there will be any problems
of dedication along the residue, however he would have to check with his fellow
owners.
Mr. Keeler noted that in the past the Commission has waived dedication
along a large residue. However, unless the Commission specifically waives it,
the residue is subject to that part of the subdivision requirements.
Mr. Lincoln pointed to the area on the plat of record that has already been
dedicated to the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation.
the plat. Mrs. Graves pointed out that the residue is not specifically shown on
Mr. Payne read the note on the plat which was as follows: "dedication
on residue parcel 25' from centerline of road."
Mrs. Graves established that the roads, with one exception, are on slopes
less than 15%.
Mr. Lincoln said that the jrade on all roads will be less than 12%.
Mrs. Diehl said that the area of the two borings on lot 48 were not in
the area taken from lot 48 and included in lot 47. Therefore she said the soil
scientist has not convinced her this will aid in septic field location.
Mr. Brunger explained that the septic system on lot 47 will go to a lesser
slope with the additional land from part of lot 48. He said that he has not
addressed in his written report all the borings he made on all the lots, and
he said that he could certify that lot 47 has an adequate area.
Mrs. Diehl again stated that she is not convinced lot 47 is a viable lot.
Mr. Brunger emphasized that there is no problem with good soils on lot 47.
Mrs. Diehl then said she counted 15 lots having fair soils. With a
slope analysis, she sees spetic fields in some cases on land with slopes over 25%.
Mr. Brunger said that no septic fields in the entire subdivision will
be located on slopes over 16%.
Mr. Lincoln explained that the Commission had requested a slope analysis,
and this topographic map is based on an aerial topo for the Highway Department
0?6a?
during the construction of I-64. The previous topo was based on the USGS.
He pointed out that all these topographic maps vary at least 2.5 feet in either
direction.
Mr. Brunger noted that there is lots of information in his field
notes that would not be readable in a formal report.
Mrs. Diehl said that at least three of the lots will require sewer pumps.
Mr. Brunger agreed that this is correct-i however pointed out that the
reason is not because of the soils, but because of gullies.
Mr. McCann moved approval of the plat subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Compliance with the Runoff Control Ordinance and Soil Erosion Ordinance;
b. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of
commercial entrance and improvements on Route 614;
c. County Engineer and Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval
of road plans for Dunmore Road;
d. Compliance with the Private Road Ordinance, including:
1. County Engineer approval of road plans and drainage easements;
2. County Attorney approval of road maintenance agreements;
e. No lots are to have access on the cul-de-sac of Dunmore Road;
f. In the development process, only those areas where a structure, utility,
road or other physical improvement is located shall be disturbed; all other
areas shall remain in their natural state;
g. 25' dedication along the frontage of the residue;
Mr. Huffman seconded the motion for approval.
Discussion:
Mrs. Graves expressed the desire to know more about permeability of
soils in view of the drinking water supply.
Mrs. Diehl said that she cannot support the motion, since there are too
many questions of septic fields on slopes of 20-25% slope.
Mr. Huffman reminded Mrs. Diehl that the soil scientist said that
there were no septic fields proposed on slopes 20-250.
Mr. Skove said it is important to follow the expert opinion of a soil
scientist.
Mr. McCann said that the Commission cannot dispute the recommendations
of experts or dictate how the Health Department will act.
Mr. Brunger advised the Commission that Mr. Jeff McDaniel of the
Health Department was with him on the property and approved what he was doing.
Col. Washington questioned why there was no condition addressing
Health Department approval.
Miss Caperton passed around the Health Department approval of the
subdivision.
a6,3
Mr. Payne stated that the Commission has no power to control what the
Health Department approves.
Mrs. Diehl said that she could support the motion if it addressed
the septic field on no slopes over 25%.
Messrs. McCann and Huffman were agreeable to adding a condition h.
to read as follows:
h. No septic fields on slopes 25% or greater.
The motion carried by a vote of 6-0-1, with Mrs. Graves dissenting.
Commonwealth Townhouses Site Plan:
Upon the request of the applicant, Mrs. Diehl moved that the Commission
defer indefinitely any discussion and action on this site plan. The motion,
seconded by Mr. Vest, carried unanimously, with no discussion.
David Brown Final Plat - located near the southwest corner of the
intersection of Routes 631 and U. S. 29 North behind Hardees:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mrs. Vera Holowinsky was present on behalf of the applicant, but had
no comments.
Mrs. Graves questioned dedication along the property.
Mr. Mike Boggs stated it was acquired at the time of Hardees Site Plan
and Subdivision.
Mr. McCann moved approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Owner's notarized signature;
b. Compliance with Private Road Ordinance, including:
1. County Attorney approval of maintenance agreement;
2. County Engineer approval of roads.
Mr. Vest seconded the motion which carried by a vote of 6-1, with
Mrs. Graves dissenting.
Mrs. Graves said that she cannot support any more turns from Route 29 North.
Mr. Huffman stated that the Highway Department said the entrance is
adequate as proposed.
M
Coiner Auto Parts Site Plan - located near the southwest corner of
the intersection of Routes 631 and 29 North, behind Hardees:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mr. McCann moved approval subject to the following conditions:
1. A building permit will not be issued until the following conditions are met:
a. Albemarle County Service Authority approval of the water and sewer plans;
b. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of commercial
entrance permits;
C. County Enigneer approval of drainage facilities and pavement specifications
for parking area and access ways and curbing;
d. Fire Official approval of hydrant location;
e. Landscape plan subject to staff approval;
f. Note deed book reference on plan.
Mr. Vest seconded the motion.
Discussion:
Col. Washington established that this is a supply place to wholesalers,
dealers, and some individual businesses.
The motion carried by a vote of 6-1, with Mrs. Graves dissenting.
Wilhoit Final Plat - located on west side of Rio Road East
just north of Rio Heights:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mr. Payne stated that this might not be a proper division under the ordinance,
and he read from the ordinance the wording regarding peculiarly shaped, elongated
lots.
Mr. Wilhoit stated that the shape is because of the two large oak trees
that he hopes to keep. He did not want to back his vehicle onto Rio Road.
Mrs. Holowinsky showed the topographic map for the property.
Mrs. Graves noted the rear dedication on Oliver Heights for development
of McIntire Extension.
Miss Caperton said that the land does not go all the way to that
proposed roadway.
Mr. Wilhoit said that 40,000 square feet is all that is required for a lot
according to the ordinance. He himself is going to build a house on the new lot
and sell the existing house with a lot.
Mrs. Diehl said she recognizes the rationale in preserving the second
building site.
Mr. Payne said that the only reason the property is not being
developed at the R-2 density is because of the lack of facilities. If the
applicant later seeks relief from the BZA because of width, the request should
be denied.
Mr. Huffman agreed that it is certainly a self-imposed hardship.
Col. Washington questioned how to flag the property as having
future development problems.
Mrs. Graves moved approval subject to the following conditions,
noting that these are not out of character with other lots in the area:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of frontage
improvements;
b. All titled owners must sign the plat;
c. Waiver of Section 18-29 constitutes a self-imposed hardship.
Mr. Skove seconded the motion.
Discussion:
Mrs. Graves advised the Commission that if she determines the property
backs up to the McIntire/Ridge Street Extension, she will ask that the Board of
Supervisors review the plat.

western corner of the intersection of Routes 671 and 601, north of
Free Union:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mrs. Holowinsky, on behalf of the applicant, stated that this is
a family division.
Mrs. Diehl moved approval of the plat subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Written Health Department approval;
b. Note source of title;
C. Note total acreage of Parcel A;
d. Owner's notarized signature;

Mr. Vest seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with no discussion.
Scottsville Shopping Center Final Plat - located on the north side of
Route 6 at the Scottsville Shopping Center:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mrs. Holowinsky, present on behalf of the applicant, had no comments.
Mr. McCann moved approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be singed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Written Health Department approval;
b. Note tax map and parcel number;
C. Provide topography; note residue acreage; note building setback lines;
note location and material of all permanent reference monuments; note
provision of public utility;
d. Parcel B-1 shall have access from the interior access, at least 200 feet
from the entrance on Route 6;
e. Albemarle County Service Authority approval of the size of the water line;
f. Waiver of frontage requirements granted.
Mrs. Diehl seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with
no discussion.
Country View Final Plat - located on Route 708 about 14 mile south
of Route 738 west of Ivy:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mrs. Holowinsky, present on behalf of the applicant, had no comments.
Mr. Vest moved approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions are met:
a. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of entrances
and frontage improvements as recommended in their letter of December 6, 1978;
b. County Engineer and Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval
of road plans;
C. Compliance with Soil Erosion and Runoff Control Ordinances;
d. Written. Health Department approval;
e. County Enigneer approval of drainage easements.
Mrs. Diehl seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with no discussion.
Bennington Woods Final Plat - located at the north end of Bennington
Road, east of Georgetown Road:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mr. Charles Rotgin and Mr. Don Wagner were present. Mr. Wagner pointed
to the problems of shared entrances, since this does not permit off-street
parking. With shared entrances it is necessary to park in one's front door.
Mr. McCann said that with the cul-de-sac there will be no through traffic,
and therefore he saw no real need for shared entrances.
Mrs. Diehl agreed with Mr. McCann.
There was no public comment.
C& 7-
Mr. McCann moved approval of the plat with no conditions.
Mr. Huffman seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with
no discussion.
Mowinckel Property Site Plan Amendments - located at the southeast
corner of the intersection of Georgetown and Hydraulic Roads:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
Mrs. Gay Johnson Blair questioned if this is a road over the easement area.
Miss Caperton stated that it will be necessary for the owners to get
an easement from Mrs. Ross.
Mrs. Blair wanted to make sure the developers are required to follow
the runoff control ordinance during and after construction of the road.
Mr. Rotgin said that the entire property will be covered by the
Soil Erosion Ordinance, and he pointed to that area that would be subject to the
Runoff Control Ordinance. Mr. Rotgin then stated that he has a concern with
Condition 2B as recommended by the staff, noting that the Highway Department sent
a letter recommending improvements to Georgetown Road that are over and above
the written agreement between the developer and the Highway Department. Mr. Rotgin
said that he is willing to comply with the right turnlane plus the left turnlane
for the frontage.
Miss Caperton said that it will be necessary to add the following
condition to those recommended by the staff: County Engineer approval of the road
plans.
Mr. Rotgin then showed the Commission the plans for the third lane
extension turning into Westgate Apartments.
Mr. McCann moved approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Building permits will not be issued until the following conditions have been met:
a. Albemarle County Service Authority approval of water and sewer plans;
b. Grading permit;
C. Staff approval of landscape plan;
d. Fire Official approval of hydrant and dumpster locations and handicapped
facilities;
e. During construction, reasonable action shall be taken to protect and maintain
specified trees with stakes and ropes;
f. Only those areas where a structure, utility, street, recreation area or other
improvements are to be located shall be disturbed; all other area shall remain
in its natural state;
g. Staff approval of technical amendments needed on the plan, including the
dimensions between curb faces and aisle widths prior to actual paving of
parking facilities;
h. Staff approval of the provision of walkways between the buildings ( mulch,
pine bark, etc. ) for easier access from the parking area to the buildings
as required in Article 17-5-9 of the Zoning Ordinance;
i. An easement be recorded by the owner of the Bessie Ross property in favor of
the Mowinckel Property for the access road from Georgetown Road;
2. Phasing of road and entrance improvements as follows:
a. Provision of entrance and right turn lane for use by the Old Dominion Day
School shall be accomplished prior to enrollment exceeding 45 students;
b. Before certificates of occupancy are issued on Barclay Place, Virginia Department
of Highways and Tranpsortation approval of other improvements on Georgetown
Road which will allow for a left turn lane to be painted on the existing
pavement;
C. All work for 2a and b must be under permit with the Virginia Department of
Highways and Transportation and meet entrance requirements at the time the
permit is approved;
d. County Engineer approval of road plans.
Mr. Rotgin then read his letter from the Virginia Department of Highways
with regard to road improvements that would be required.
Mr. Wagner said that he had talked with the assistant resident engineer
who had said the letter was transportation advice to the Baord of Supervisors, though
the Board chose not to follow those recommendations for Georgetown Road.
Mr. McCann amended his motion to exclude 2C and replace with the following
condition: Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval as stated in
its letter of May 23, 1979, addressed to Mr. Rotgin.
Mr. Huffman seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with no
discussion.
Old Dominion Day School Final Plat - located east of Georgetown
Road and south of the existing Westgate Apartments on the
Mowinckel property:
Miss Caperton presented the staff report.
There was no comment from the applicant, and Mr. McCann moved approval
subject to the following conditions:
1. The plat will not be signed until the following conditions have been met:
a. Tie the plat in with the rest of the property;
b. Note residue acreage;
C. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval of commercial
entrance;
d. Compliance with the private road ordinance;
e. An easement be recorded by the owner of the Bessie Ross property in favor
of the Mowinckel property and the day school for access to this property.
Mr. Huffman seconded the motion, which carried unanimously, with no
discussion.
The Commission adjourned at mid
