Those members present were Mr. David Carr, Chairman; Mr. Clifton McClure, Vice -Chairman; Mr. Peter Easter; Mr. Kurt Gloeckner; Mr. Roy Barksdale; Mrs. Ellen Craddock; and Mrs. Joan Graves. Absent were Mr. Jack Rinehart and Mr. Wilbur Tinsley. Lloyd Wood, ex-officio was present. Mr. Carr established that a quorum was present and called the meeting to order. Mr. Humphrey opened the meeting by asking if the Planning Commission wished to direct the staff to notify property owners of action taken during the work sessions. Mr. Carr said that providing the changes are final, then the property owners should be notified. A long discussion followed concerning downzoning of property, especially in relation to the preservation of the green areas, the steep slopes, and the flood plain areas. Mr. Easter stated that the Planning Commission should guide the people and then let the elected officials take action later. Mr. McClure suggested that they try to tackle the property and then discuss the "difficult" problem areas at a later date. Mr. Carr stated that in some cases people felt that their property is being down -zoned because they have failed to review the proposed ordinance and do not understand that present uses can continue on the property. He also noted that the term AL - Agricultural Limited - was a poor description of the zone. Mr. Easter suggested an individual approach on properties. He noted that he was concerned that the Commission is acting too quickly in order to save time. The Planning Commission can recommend a fair ordinance if they act on the map on a large scale. Mr. Gloeckner asked if it is right to ignore the public's letters of comment if the Commission is not taking property on an individual basis. Mr. McClure suggested that the staff sort comments according to areas in the county and then the Planning Commission could act on them accordingly. Mr. Fisher said that it would be necessary to talk to the property owners if they disagree with the Planning Commission's action. -2- Mrs. Graves read the statement of intent for the commercial zones, suggesting that the CL and CO zones be combined, leaving the CG as is. The intention of the Commission, Mr. Carr explained, was to draft an ordinance, reorganize the zoning map, and turn both items over to the Board of Supervisors for their action. He stated that the Commission would not close its mind to the public and felt that the Commission was willing to compromise. Then he asked if it were necessary to re -address the entire ordinance, and all members felt that it was. Mr. Carr also reminded the Commission that it would be necessary to forward the ordinance and map to the current Board of Supervisors. Mr. Barksdale made a motion to attempt to tackle the matters that had been brought to the attention of the Planning Staff. Mr. McClure seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. At this point procedural decisions were made as to how to handle individual comments and suggestions from the public. It was decided that it would be necessary to meet with each individual property owner who was dissatisfied with the proposed zoning for his property. Mrs. Craddock returned to the subject of the green belt, noting that it was important to retain the objective of having buffer between Farmington and West Leigh. Mr. McClure addressed the undeveloped area here and moved to eleminate the existing RR zoning in Farmington and Flordon. Mr. Gloeckner seconded the motion. However, it was the consensus of the Commission that this should be addressed at a time when the owners could be present.

Those members present were Mr. David Carr, Chairman; Mr. Kurt Gloeckner; Mr. Roy Barks- dale; Mrs. Joan Graves; Mrs. Ellen Craddock; Mr. Wilbur Tinsley; and Mr. Peter Easter. Mr. Carr established that a quorum was present, and called the meeting to order. The Commission decided on the following meeting dates and places for regular meetings and work sessions on the proposed zoning ordinance for the month of March: March 3, 1975, 7:30 p.m., March 5, 1975, 7:30 p.m., March 10, 1975, 7:30 p.m., March 17, 1975, 7:30 p.m., March 19, 1975, 7:30 p.m., March 24, 1975, 7:30 p.m., March 26, 1975, 7:30 p.m., March 31, 1975, 7:30 p.m., Piedmont Community Auditorium Board of Supervisors Conference County Executive's Conference Room Piedmont College Auditorium Board of Supervisors Conference Room Board of Supervisors Conference Room Board of Supervisors Conference Room Board of Supervisors Conference Room The minutes of the following Planning Commission were approved: November 5, 1974 November 12,1974 November 18, 1974 November 25, 1974 December 2, 1974, December 9, 1974 December 17, 1974 January 7, 1975 subject to Mrs. Craddock's editions Shopper's World Site Plan: Mr. Humphrey stated that a general revised site plan had been submitted on this date and that by 4:00 p.m. it had been revised as much as possible. The request is for a change in the use of a structure from a bank to a McDonald's restaurant. He said that the request also involved the parking layout. He told the Commission that the staff report would be verbal since it had been such a last minute request. He stated that enough off-street parking is available if the revised site plan is used. Some areas, the access drives, have been changed in order to meet the parking requirements. He asked the Commission if under these circumstances they wished to hear the request or if they wished to defer it. Mr. Easter moved the request for a revised site plan be heard; Mr. Tinsley seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Humphrey again told the Commission that approval for the change of the structure's use was needed and the change in the arrangement and location of parking spaces was needed. He referred the Commission to the site plan of March, 1974, which had been approved. Mr. Dolan, representing the applicant, explained the pick-up or fire lane in from of A and P. He requested that the width of it be brought down from thirty feet to twenty-one 171 feet. He emphasized that any lay -out outlined by the Planning and Zoning Departments would be abided by. Mr. Kelly Reynolds, Albemarle County Fire Marshall, stated that everything looked permissible from fire standards. Mr. Humphrey noted that the staff did recommend some ideas for traffic flow, which would mean that the number of spaces would be one less than the number required. He stated that there would have to be strict adherence to employees parking in the proper places. Mr. Carr told the Commission that unless the leases specify certain parking areas to be used by Employees, it will be impossible to enforce the suggestion. Mr. Humphrey told the Commission that more than arrows of channelization would be necessary for traffic flow and suggested that perhaps an IN ONLY sign be placed. Mrs. Graves asked if there would be an extension of asphalt toward Dominion Drive. Mr. Dolan told her there would not be. Mr. Humphrey stated that a barrier may be needed for safety reasons near the culvert. Mrs. Craddock stated that McDonald's sign is garrish and that the cooking odors would permeate a section of Berkeley. Mr. Easter noted that the entrance to Shopper's World is a death trap, and pointed out that McDonald's would generate more traffic than a bank would. Mr. Humphrey acknowledged this and stated that the lane in front of McDonald's will be one-way. Mr. Carr asked if all the proposed parking bays are to be one-way. Mr. Dolan stated that the petitioner would abide by the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Mr. Easter inquired if bumpers were installed in the parking area, and Mr. Dolan told him that they would not be installed. Mr. Barksdale asked if a light could be required at the intersection at the expense of the applicant and the highway department. Mr. Carr suggested that perhaps the development of the Catholic Church would be held in the possibility of the highway department's installing the traffic light. Mr. Barksdale remarked that the lights from Dart Drug are blinding. Mrs. Craddock emphasized the fact that the entrance is a death trap and that McDonalds will mean more traffic. Mr. Dolan remarked that the only accident had been in early October, when Dart Drug had opened. Mr. Early, who had previously represented the Berkeley Homeowners, stated that the odor of McDonalds could be a problem, since homeowners in that area had already noticed the odor from the Rustler Restaurant. He also noted his concern for the entrance to the / Tom;. the Shoppers World. Mr. Kelly Reynolds, Fire Marshall, stated that the vapor recovery system to be used by McDonald's would suppress odors as well as help fire prevention. Mr. Cosby suggested that perhaps the adjoining property owners could protest any Planning Commission action on the basis that they were not properly notified. Mrs. Graves cited a problem with tractor trailers at the main entrance, stating that they usually come past the entrance to the shopping center to Dominion Drive, make a U-turn which causes more traffic problems. Mr. Gloeckner stated that approval should be subject to the light being placed at the intersection and that the sign should comply with the ordinance. Mrs. Graves asked if the hours of operation of McDonald's could be limited to 11:00 p.m. Mr. Humphrey stated that there is no guide for hours of operation except in the case of special use permits. Mr. Carr stated that this is a case of working with a permitted right. The thing that concerns him is the traffic flow - he felt that a study should be made of the traffic situation. Mr. Easter asked if legally a traffic light could be demanded. Mr. Payne, deputy County Attorney, stated that the traffic light problem would have to be taken up with the Board of Supervisors, since it was their responsibility to communicate with the Highway Department regarding this. Mr. Carr stated that he was unwilling to vote on this matter until the traffic flow had been checked. Mr. Easter moved deferral until the traffic flow could be properly checked and eval- uated. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Proposed Zoning Ordinance Work Session: Mr. Humphrey stated that he had put on the map the RR areas that had previously been scheduled to be AL. Mr. Humphrey stated that the first thing on the agenda was the upper Pantops area, which is presently zoned CG. It was decided that the Planning Commission would discuss the entire area with Dr. Charles Hurt, the owner. This would involve the following parcels: Tm 78, Parcels 17, 17A, 17D, 17E; TM 78, Parcel 15C-1; TM 78, Parcels 20, 20B, 20B-1, 31, 30; TM 78, Parcels 57, 59A; TM 62, Parcel 29; TM 78, Parcel 55A.

TM 79, Parcel 4; TM 79, Parcel 4A: Mr. Easter moved that this property be proposed to be zoned CG. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, stating that if the homeowners in the area want their property to be zoned RR, the Planning Commission should meet their wishes. TM 79, Parcels 5, 5A, and 10: Mr. Barksdale moved deferral, until the Planning Commission could talk to the owner. Mrs. Craddock seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. TM 79, Parcel 24B: This property is proposed to be zoned RR. Mr. Barksdale moved it be zoned RM. The motion died for lack of a second. Mrs. Graves moved it retain its RR zoning. Mr. Tinsley seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. TM 90A, Parcel D6: Mrs. Graves moved deferral until the Planning Commission could speak with the owner. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. TM 32, Parcels 22B and 22B(1): Mrs. Graves moved it stand as originally proposed. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. TM 29, Parcel 41E: Mrs. Craddock moved that this be proposed to be zoned CL. Mr. Tinsley seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

Holy Comforter Church Mr. Tucker stated that hopefully the traffic situation had been worked out on the site and gave the staff report addendum to the Commission. Mr. Gloeckner asked if another crossover had been created on Route 29 North. Mr. Tucker told him that it had been and that about the same distance would be between all crossovers. Mr. Barksdale asked about the bank that was a sight distance hazard. Mr. Tucker told him hopefully that this would be taken care of. Mrs. Graves stated that she is concerned about the number of entrances along this road and hopes that at a later date the Berkeley crossover will not be closed, since sometimes crossovers are closed. Mr. Tucker stated that he, too, felt that a closing of the Berkeley would be a mistake. Mr. Easter said that it had been the policy to close crossovers only when there are sight distance problems. Mrs. Graves pointed out that the entrances now include more than just the commercial areas as was originally presented. Mr. Easter noted his support for the plan, citing the fact that it is on the only four - lane highway in the county. Mr. Carr stated that there will be well -documented site plan approval in particular areas of the planned community.

Georgetown Woods: Mrs. Scala told the Commission that the staff recommends that Mr. Craig submit a master site plan for the entire project and then bring in sectional site plans as the project deve- lops. Mr. Craig stated that in February of 1973, he submitted a master site plan, but remarked that it can only show that the property will be used as zoned. Mr. Tucker stated that there are no provisions for preliminary site plan approval. Mr. Carr emphasized that preliminary site plan approval has no validity. Mr. Easter asked if the proposed site plan ordinance could be made to include preliminar site plan approval. Mrs. Scala stated that in Section 2 of Georgetown Woods, one of the points of concern was the sidewalk along Hydraulic Road. Mr. Craig stated that he will put the sidewalk along Hydraulic Road whenever the Com- mission wishes it to be done. Mrs. Graves moved approval subject to the following conditions: 1.

This is a request to amend the B-1 Commercial District of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to allow wholesale commercial establishments and warehouses; moving and storage establishments by right. Mr. Tucker noted in the staff report that the Planning Commission has already approved this in the CG zone in the proposed zoning ordinance. He reminded the Commission that this property is presently zoned B-1, proposed to be zoned CG. 148) Mr. Reid Cornwell, representing the applicant, stated that this would be a retail establishment for apartment dwellers who lack storage space at their residence. Mr. Early, an adjoining property owner, stated his concern over the width of Berkmar Drive. Mr. Rinehart stated that this particular use seems to change the concept of the commer- cial zone. Mr. James Cosby acknowledged his concern about the precedent it will set for the ordi- nance, since it will be used differently from the way the amendment is to be read. Mr. Carr stated it be considered in the entire scope of the zone. Mr. Payne suggested that the applicant could either withdraw the request and come in later with a more refined request or he could ask to amend the ordinance to include mini - storage by special -use permit. Mr. Rinehart and Mrs. Craddock stated that they could support mini -warehouses in the B-1 zone with special use permits. Mr. Carr asked if the definition were too broad for the B-1 zone. Mr. Cornwall stated that mini -stores would like to move along rapidly as possible, since at the same time that he had submitted a request for an amendment to the ordinance, he had submitted a request for rezoning and then a special use permit. Mr. Rinehart moved that no action be taken and that later a request for a special use permit be submitted. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. ZMP-318. John H.

White Magisterial District. Mr. Tucker gave the staff report. Mr. Evans explained the slope and soil maps to the Commission. Mrs. Craddock asked what percentage of the land had sever limitations. Mr. Tucker told her that as yet that had not been established. Mr. Evans explained the slope map, stated that the clusters are on the most gentle slopes; the open areas are the mountain tops. He explained the soil map in connection with slopes, and stated that these two maps together would be used as guidelines for development. Mr. Easter noted that some houses are right on the road, and stated that the applicant had stated that we wanted to keep the rural atmosphere. Other than that, it seemed to be a very good plan. Mrs. Graves asked what would happen if water were not found where the developer expect to find it. Mr. Evans stated that there is a drainage wave throughout the land, and that several branches are in the area. He emphasized that four lakes have already been built. He pointed out that aground water study will also help. Mr. Tucker stated that the Staff recommends deferral of action until a water survey could be made. Mr. Rinehart moved deferral on these grounds; Mr. Tinsley seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Pauline Coles plat: Mrs. Scala stated that this is a request for a 1-acre parcel in an area that is zoned RS-1. She stated that other lots had been cut off before water and sewer were requirements.

W" March 5, 1975 The Albemarle County Planning Commission held a work session on March 5, 1975, 7:30 p.m., Board Room, County Office Building, Charlottesville, Virginia. Those members present were Mr. David Carr, Chairman; Mr. Kurt Gloeckner; Mr. Roy Barksdale; Mr. Jack Rinehart; Mrs. Joan Graves; Mrs. Ellen Craddock; and Mr. Peter Easter. Mr. Carr established that a quorum was present and called the meeting to order. Charlottesville Shoppers World - Parking Layout: Mr. Humphrey told the Commission that the bank site had been changed to a MacDonald's site, which had made it necessary to change the parking layout. There will also be changes in access. The parking layout is such that the parking require- ments of 793 will be met. Even the general parking concept will remain. He stated the need for a one way system provided there is proper aisle marking. He stated that raised signs could be a hazard, and suggested that they be painted in the aisles. He noted that there could be problems in using some spaces, but technically there was sufficient spaces to meet the off-street parking requirements. Mrs. Graves questioned the location of trash recepticles. Mr. Humphrey told her what provisions would be maje and what other provisions had been suggested. Mr. Dolan, the project manager for Shoppers World, told the Commission that he had spoken with the manager of Dart Drug and had learned that the maximum number of employees for the drug store would be twenty-five, except during the Christmas season and noted that fifty-nine spaces had been provided. He pointed out that the same formula for utilizing space is presented at this time as was originally approved by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Joe McPhail, an adjacent property owner, stated that it had at one time seemed impossible to him that the parking situation would be worked out, but that obviously it had been. He questioned the sewer situation. Mr. Carr told him that sewer must be available in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy. Mr. Humphrey stated that sewer accommodations are on a first -come, first -served basis. Mr. Rinehart stated that the parking movability there is critical. Mr. Gloeckner asked if the Highway Department could change the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph up to Rio Road since so much traffic will be generated. Mr. Carr suggested that this be in the form of a resolution to the Board of Supervisors and not part of the motion. Mr. Gloeckner then moved approval subject to the following conditions: 1. That a safety barrier fence be placed parallel to the parking area in the vicinity of the open drainage ditch where it parallels Route 29 North (Seminole Trail). Care should be taken to insure that the extension of the parking bays in this area will not be undermined by the steep slope of the open drainage ditch. The barrier is to be installed to the satisfaction and approval of the Planning Department. 2. That all travel ways providing access to parking bays be marked to the satis- faction and approval of the Planning staff. 3. That the traffic island divider at the entrance of the shopping center from Route 29 be installed as proposed on the site plan. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which passed by a vote of 6-0. Mrs. Craddock did not vote due to her late arrival. Site Development Plan Ordinance: Mr. Robert Huskie, an interested citizen, asked if all site plan reviewal will be turned over to the technical review committee. Mr. Payne explained the technical committee and the process by which an agrieved person could appear before the Planning Commission. Mr. Huskie pointed out the human approach of the Planning Commission which perhaps the technical committee would not have, and noted that he did not want to lose this part of site plan approval. Mr. Easter stated that Mr. Huskie's remarks were well taken, and stated that if the ordinance is passed as presented, he suggested that the Director of Planning lead the efforts to increase the scope of research in approving site plans. Mrs. Graves read the following statement: I have become increasingly concerned with portions of the proposed Site Development Plan amendment to the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance relies in part on provisions of other ordinances, but as the new Soil Erosion ordinance and new Zoning Ordinance have not yet been passed, I am wondering whether the present ordinance offer as much protection as could be desired. One important provision of the Subdivision Ordinance, namely 3-8-3, has been substantially changed in 17-5-17 of the proposal. No provision has been made for the re -notification of adjacent property owners in case of a change in the site plan. Article 31 of the new Zoning Ordinance which was a previously proposed Site Plan Ordinance Speaks to both of these issues. I am also concerned whether buffer zones could be provided. My greatest concern is with the provisions of 17-6-2 and 17-7-1 through 17-7-7. Wile I recognize the desire of the developer to have the technical details of his plan approved as rapidly and economically as possible, I nevertheless firmly believe that Commission and public input is necessary and desirable. The Commission has placed great reliance in the Site Plan hearing. For years the pbulic has been told they'' have to wait for the site plan to come in when asking for specific information when a rezoning case is being heard. As recently as last week the Commission put great faith in future site plan control when discussing specific zoning on the proposed new zoning map. While I know that Planning Commissions are charged with many other duties, I do not believe this Commission should recommend to the Board of Supervisors that it should relinquish site plan hearings at this time. Should the Board decide that it wants the agent to approve site plans administratively then it can do so after proper deliberation. Should the Commission disagree with me I would suggest that we require control over the proposed Site Plan Review Committee. Agendas should be sent to each Commission member in adequate time before each meeting, and full reports of each meeting likewise circulated less than ten days afterwards. I however remain opposed to these suggestions, and wish the whole ordinance subjected to careful scrutiny. Mr. Rinehart noted that the Planning Commission offers a stop -getter for future problems. Mr. Gloeckner stated that he would like the Planning Commission to review site plans, closed to the public comment, since it is his feeling that the public should have its input to the technical committee. Mr. Rinehart stated that he does not feel that the review committee can handle public comments and still do their technical job. Mr. Gloeckner stated that public input could be by phone calls or correspond- ence to the Planning Commission members, except in the case of the applicant. Mrs. Craddock stated that she felt that the Planning Commission should keep its review policy. Mr. Humphrey stated that he felt public input should be at the site review committee meeting. Mr. Carr at this point noted that several issues were being attempted to be addressed: 1. the items that the developer needs to submit 2. time element should be shortened for the developer 3. relations with the developers hsould be improved, since the process as it is now is quite costly; also relations with the community should be improved. 4. time element should be shortened for the Planning Commission. Mr. Payne stated that the ordinance as proposed is comprehensive, that the number of submissions will be increased - under existing, only certain things are submitted for iste plan approval - citying rental units as an example. Mr. Rinehart stated that a booklet outlining site plan criteria should accompany the ordinance in order to eleminate some of the problems. M lei Mr. Humphrey acknowledged that there have never been any specific guidelines and now that these guidelines are being set, the Commisison should make sure that they are placing enough guidelines. He stated that the site plan ordinance is the technical device to development, and it is his opinion that public input should be only at the review committee level, and that this input should not have to go to the Commission, except in the case of appeals. He noted that only certain things can be legally imposed on a site plan. Mr. Carr noted that the following items should be worked with when revising the ordinance for another presentation to the Commission: 1. 17-5-22, the utility aspect should remain. 2. 17-5-17, the Director of Planning recommends that this be left in, but the deputy county attorney stated that if any aspect of the ordinance is challenged, it would be this phase. However, it was noted that the county felt as though it could defend this provision. 3. 17-7-2, should state that 2 members of the Planning Commission will be members of the technical review committee. 4. 17-6-2, should change in order that the Planning Commission will receive for its review a finished product after the following process has been followed: The site plan will be submitted to the Planning Department and will then go to the review committee where public input and technical advise will be received. The Director of Planning will then either mark the site plan with his approval or disapproval, and will take the finished product to the Planning Commission. At this time, Mr. Humphrey told the Commission about the plans for a meeting, headed by Mr. Joe Gibson, in relation to the Ivy area. He stated that March 26, should be set aside for the work on this area. The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. J n .

Mr. Gibson told the Commission that his meeting had been successful in some respects, yet he had arrived at no consensus on the desire from the members of this particular area. He did point out that the property holders there did not wish the population to increase to 16,000 by 2000 A.D. and that they wished no high density zoning.

Mr. Carr acknowledged Mr. McClure's point, stating that if the Ivy citizens want to see controlled growth in Ivy, this point must be addressed on a continued basis. He said that the Commission is trying to deal with problems of growth in the county, and that when the master plan was developed the County saw Ivy growing between the General Electric property and the Ivy store. He pointed out that the General Electric site had fallen through, and that it is very difficult to flatly stop growth. He pointed out that what is needed is compatibility with what is existing. Mr. Easter stated that hissentiments are with Mr. Carr. Mr. Carr again told the Ivy citizens that it will take a community effort to cont--1 growth in that area. He pointed out that the problem has not been solved, it has merely been addressed.

SP-450. Southern Capital Fund, Inc. Mr. Tucker told the Commission that the County Engineer has reviewed the water report and found no problem. Mr. Max Evans, representing the applicant, commented on the individual wells that have been drilled. He stated they are now in the process of being measured for a 48 hour time period. He noted that one well yielded 60 gal./min. and the other 3 gal./min. in a period of eight hours. He also stated that each lot would have a secondary source of water. Mr. Tucker pointed out that a central well would require the applicant for a special use permit. Mr. Rinehart moved approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Any changes in the plans, as may be warranted as a result of the water studies be made prior to final approval; 2. Concept, densities, and open space acreage shown on the plan entitled "Buck Mount- ain - Preliminary Subdivision Layout: and marked Received 2/24/75" shall be ad- hered to; 3. All roads to be built to State Highway Specifications with the exception of the access roads into the clustered areas, which are to be privately maintained and sc stated in the homeowners agreements (limited to no more than 10 lots or structure: 4. All homeowners agreements to be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office; 5. Only those areas where roads, driveways, lakes, pedestrian and horse trails, and structures are to be located shall be distributed with grading opera- tions; 6. Each lot shall have Health Department final approval for septic systems prior to any subdivision approval; 7. All wells, whether central or individual, shall have final Health Department and County approval, where applicable, prior to any subdivision approval; 8. Maximum density of 1 du/5 acres not be exceeded and no additional lots be placed on plan. Mr. McClure seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. B. L. Thurston plat: Mr. Tucker explained that this is a request for 2 acres to be cut from a parcel, whicl would be given to the daughter. This would leave Mr. Thurston 7.5 acres. He also request: that the right-of-way be extended on the eastern boundary in order to give access to the 2-acre parcel. Mr. Easter moved approval; Mr. Rinehart seconded the motion, which carried unanimously Brooklayne Subdivision: Mr. Tucker stated that this is a request for six 2-acre lots on Route 663 near Earlysville. � y^ G? 1 Mr. Rinehart moved approval subject t:o lots ). and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 sharing en- trance. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Several members of the public at this time had suggestions to the Planning Commmission regarding the zoning of the Ivy area, especially around the Ivy interchange. Since there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned. V Manw opeol ZA - 70- - A I A. W�etarj M April 9, 1975 The Albemarle County Planning Commission held a work session on the proposed zoning ordinance and map on April 9, 1975, 7:30 p.m., County Office Building, Charlottesville, Virginia. Those members present were Mr. David Carr, Chairman; Mr. Clifton McClure, Vice -Chairman; Mr. Kurt Gloeckner; Mr. Roy Barksdale; Mr. Peter Easter; Mr. Jack Rinehart; Mr. Wilbur Tins- ley; Mrs. Ellen Craddock; and Mrs. Joan Graves. Mr. Lloyd Wood, ex-Officio was absent. Mr. Carr established that a quorum was present and called the meeting to order. The first item on the agenda was the deferred item of SP-455. This item was deferred to enable the Planning Commission members to review the site. The Chairman opened the dis- cussion on the request with Mr. Easter and Mr. Tinsley speaking to the concern that the faci- lity will be seen from the southbound lane of Route 29 North. It was the general consensus of the Commission that a screening by way of landscaping, changing grade and setback should be accomplished to reduce the visual impact of this facili- ty at this location. Mr. Rinehart suggested that the actual facility be set back on the right-of-way on Rt. 29 for 60 feet instead of the minimum 30 feet; that an embankment of burn be left on the northern line of the property as abuttment. It was felt that the embankment was needed. Mr. McClure thought possibly that there should be a 100 feet setback from the right -of- way of Route 29. Mr. Easter was of the opinion that the embankment suggested by the staff was not enough. The trees must be planted near the crest of a burn along the northern property line. They referred to Mr. Max Evans' suggestions at the previous meeting which Mr. Easter thought very good. Mr. Abanion, representing Northern Piedmont Electrical Company spoke and presented a large plat showing coutour lines explaining what the electrical company had in mind and dis- cussed with the Commission the possibilities of terracing the site to assist in reducing the visual encounter from Route 29 as well as providing for a cut to drop the facility below the road bed with a burn on the northern property line. The Chairman was of the opinion that some guidelines should be given to the representa- tive of the power company so that they could take this information back to the Engineers so that a site plan could be prepared. Hopefully with this information there would be a minimum of discussion with no possible deferral for lack of information being on the site plan. After the discussion by the Commission, Mr. Easter made a motion to approve, seconded by Mr. Rinehart, with the following conditions: 1. All structures should be set back 75 feet from Route 29 North right-of-way, except fencing which should be no closer than 55 feet to the right-of-way of Route 29 North, 2. The staff recommendations be incorporated as conditions of approval with the exception that only actual structures be fences and not the entire site; 3. Embankment and existing trees fronting on 29 North be left undisturbed to serve as a buffer; 4. Chain link fence be placed around the property of the substation for protection; 5. Evergreens be located along the exterior of the chain link fence on the northern bound- ary of the property to screen the substation from the south bound lane of 29 North Staff recommends that these plantings be placed on 10 foot centers and suggest , that the existing trees on the property be used whenever possible; 6. Grading plans approved by Zoning Administrator; 7. That a site plan be submitted to the Planning Commission for review and approval indi- cating grading to take place, location of the facility, sufficient bearing on the northern property line to the extent that the bearing reduces the visual encounter on Route 29 southbound lane and that bearing to have evergreen trees planted on top of the finished bearing. This motion carried by unanimous vote of the Planning Commission. The next item of business was staff presentation regarding the proposed zoning map and the staff's comments on that map based on Commission action and letters of communication from property owners which have not been seen by the Commission dealing with property in the original proposed agricultural limited zone. A discussion followed on what had been accom- plished with reference to the proposed map which involved the philosophy of the agricultural zones and two acre zones as reflected by the map as presented on this date. At the conclusion of the discussion it was the consensus of the Commission that addi- tional requests, which the Commission had acted on, with reference to two -acre type zoning, should also be reflected on the map. There upon, Mr. Gloeckner made the following motion which was seconded by Mr. Easter that the staff place on the map those requests in the AL zone acted on by the Commission plus suggestions for expansion of two -acre type zoning and that the staff obtain locations of the thought upon active farm lands now existing in the areas designating in the original proposed AL zone. This motion passed unanimously. It was the consensus of the Commission that once this was done, then a final decision could be made with reference to finalizing the zoning map, in particular, the agricultural and two acre zone philosophy. Prior to the Commission taking action on Mr. Gloeckner's motion, Mr. Carr had spoken of a possible alternative regarding the AL zone which was that the Commission could possibly proceed on the basis of previous action by the Commission regarding the AL which was that tk rate of percentage of the original proposed AL zone would become two acres. This alternatiN did not reach the motion stage. At this time, the Chairman opened discussion on the propose zoning map as it relates to the Ivy area: Item 1: County Tax Map 58A, Parcel 3 and 4, presently zoned A-1. Proposed map indicates e> tention of commercial and commercial limited zones. Commission action to remove the commer- cial extension shown on the proposed map and place this property in a comparable zone on the proposed map. Item 2: Discussion was held with reference to the existing commercial zoning in the imme- diate area of Ivy at the intersection of Route 250, 738, and 678. It was noted that this area should be shown on the proposed map as CL Commercial Limited Zoning in lieu of grantin< a CG category on the proposed zoning map. At this time the Chairman referred to a letter from Mrs. Martha Seldon regarding the proposed CG Commercial Zoning the southeast quadrant of the intersection of I-64 and Route 250 West sugggesting the reduction of the intensity of that property to a CL category. Subject property is identified as County Tax Map 55, Parcels 99, 100, 98A, 98B, and County Tax Map 58A, Parcel 28. It was the consensus of the Commission that this property should be indicated on the proposed map for Commercial Limited instead of the Commercial General as originally proposed. The property owner is to be notified of this change. Item 3: The next item was in reference to land owned by John Ewald located in all quadrants of I-64 intersection with Route 637 (Ivy Interchange). With reference to the above property, the Commission directed the staff to show the IR Industrial zone in the former G.E. property with AGR/CVN on, the remaining land holdings of Mr. Ewald ("The Rocks", Verulum, and the southwest quadrant.) It being 11:00 p.m., the Planning Commission adjourned the meeting. ?JL- Humphrey, Secr ary April 16, 1975 The Albemarle County Planning Commission held a work session on the proposed zoning ordinance on Wednesday, April 16, 1975, commencing at 10:00 a.m. Those members present were Mr. David Carr, Chairman; Mr. Clifton McClure, Vice -Chairman; Mr. Kurt Gloeckner; Mr. Peter Easter; Mrs. Joan Graves; Mr. Roy Barksdale; Mrs. Ellen Craddock; Mr. Jack Rinehart; and Mr. Wilbur Tinsley. Absent was Mr. Lloyd Wood, ex-Officio. Mr. Carr established that a quorum was present and called the meeting to order. Mr. Carr explained to the public attending the meeting that it had been scheduled in order that individual property holders could explain to the Planning Commission reasons for requesting zoning on certain parcels of property throughout the county other than that zoning which the Com- mission had thought proper for the area. Caleb Stowe: Tax Map 32, Parcels 22B and 22B1 - existing zoning A-1: Mr. Stowe circulated a letter among the Commission members stating his position and said that he asked Mr. Bill Roudabush to view the pro- perty. The property is owned by Merchants Realty, and in the four years that he has been familiar with the property, he has never had anyone interested in it for residential purposes. He emphasized that long slender lots would be necessary to build residences. The purchase price was $100,000, illustrating the fact that it had been purchased with businesses in mind. He stated that with careful site plan review which would limit the number of accesses onto Route 29, the property could be developed commercially without being detrimental to the area. He said that the water line is in the front of the property. He noted that utlitiy demands would be rigorous for private residences. He stated that close to this property is land zoned CL, as well as other property zoned for commercial use. He requested that the property be zoned CG or CL. He also noted that the tax assessment concerns him since it is out of line with the pro- posed zoning. Mr. Carr stated that there is too much land zoned for commercial M -2- now in the county. He noted that the Planning Commission thought that if land remained in a comparable zone, it could take its course. Mrs. Craddock asked the legal counsel present if the tax schedule is such that the owner has a vested interest. Mr. Payne: "No." Mrs. Graves stated that changing the zoning of this property will set a precedent in the area, since a large amount of the property in that area is agriculture. Mr. Easter moved that the property in TM 32, Parcels 22B and 22B1 remain in a comparable zone. Mr. Rinehart seconded the motion; it passed unanimously. C. G. Porritt: Tax Map 21, Parcels 14A and 12A: Mr. Humphrey pointed out the four acres in question, noting that it is presently zoned M-1. The property owner is requesting CG zoning rather than the proposed CL zoning. Mr. Porritt familiarized the Planning Commission with the use of the property, asking for zoning that is comparable for the existing use in order to make the use conforming. He stated that the property has been in use since 1948. Mr. Rinehart stated that with a special use permit the present activity can continue. Mr. Barksdale stated that it the owner has to acquire a special use permit his business is ruined if he decides to sell it, since the owner will be able to sell only the building. Mr. Easter pointed out that special permits are limited to the owner only in the case of mobile homes, that special permits run with the land. Mr. Carr said that the existing use should be recognized. Mr. McClure said that CG zoning next to IL zoning is not detrimental and moved that the owner be granted CG zoning for 14A and 12A. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion. Mr. Rinehart: "IL zoning is planned for areas next to residential uses." The vote was 6-2 in favor of the motion; Mr. Rinehart and Mrs. Craddock voted against the motion. -3- Zunka Property: Tax Map 46, Parcel 28A: Mr. Humphrey told the Commission that the property is presently zoned A-1, and that the owner is requesting either CL or CG zoning. He noted that the existing use is presently non -conforming. The owner wishes zoning that is conforming to the existing use. Mr. Zulus represented the property owner, stated that the property has been owned by its present owner for 16 years and can't develop the property for residentila use. Mr. Carr noted that the property is in transition. He stated that the future would be the time to rezone the property when the exact use can be determined. At this time, Mr. McClure asked that this request be deferred untilthe Haugh property is heard. Mr. Zulus agreed that this would be in order. Haugh Property: Tax Map 46, Parcel 18: Mr. Humphrey stated that the existing strip, which is commercial is proposed to be done away with, and is proposed to be zoned RR with the exception of the flood plain area. Mr. Nunnally,representing Mr. Haugh, asked that the property be given an industrial use since the quarry is near -by. Mr. Rinehart stated that the 488 acres could best be utilized as a PUD, since a good one-third of the property is in the flood plain, thus putting the density in the other area. He stated that he is not in favor of strip planning. Mrs. Craddock and Mrs. Graves agreed with Mr. Rinehart. Mr. Carr felt that some land could be commercial, with such a use as a PUD. He acknowledged that it is in the interest of the county and of the property owner to remove strip zoning. When a planned use is presented, he felt that that is the proper time for the county to consider it. Mr. Nunnally then suggested that the property be zoned PUD. Mr. Carr noted that this is a considerable down zoning, but said that it is his feeling that the county needs to see the use. Mrs. Craddock moved that the property be proposed to be zoned for RR except for that part which is in the flood plain. IFE Mr. Gloeckner seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of 6-2. Messrs. McClure and Barksdale voted against the motion. Zunka Property: Mr. McClure stated that Tax Map 46, Parcel 18 must set the precedent. Mr. Carr said till the county sees the proposed use of the property, at Which time it will consider a rezoning request, the property of Tax Map 46, Parcel 28A, should have comparable zoning. Mr. Barksdale moved that this property be zoned RR. Mr. Gloeckner seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Airport Properties: Tax Map 32, Parcel 9E, "Camelot", Tax Map 32E: Mr. Zurkel stated that Wendell Wood is the new owner of TM32, Parcel 9E. He said that the existing zoning is A-1 but asks that the frontage on Route 606 be industrial.. He explained the possible use of the land. He asked that the property in Camelot retain the R-3(RM) zoning, and that the 2600 feet from the river to the second crossover be zoned CL; he asked that the other remain RR and that IL remain along Route 649. Mr. Easter stated that this request seemed to be reasonable, and moved that the Commission approve the above request,, eliminating the industrial along Route 606. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of 8-0. Mr. Tinsley did not vote. Mr. Rinehart moved that the property in Tax Map 20, Parcel 19 the Piney Mountain property be zoned AGR/CVN. Mrs. Graves seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of 5-4. The following voted against the motion: Mr. Gloeckner, Mr. McClure, Mr. Barksdale, and Mr. Easter. J. W. Wright Property: Tax Map 45, Block A, Parcels A and B: Mr. Wright stated that this property is adjacent to the Real Estate III property. He noted that the existing zoning is B-1. Mr. Humphrey said the property is proposed to be zoned CL and that the owner is requesting CG zoning. -5- Mr. Wright said that the character of the property does not identify it as CL and that a down -zoning would affect business. Mr. Easter explained that the size and depth of the lot are the reasons for the CL zoning. Mrs. Graves moved that Parcels A, B, and C be zoned CL. Mr. Tinsley seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was 4-4, Mrs. Craddock being momentarily out of the room. Due to the tie, there was a re -vote upon Mrs. Craddock's return to the room. The motion carried by a vote of 5-4. Those voting against the motion were Messrs. Gloeckner, Barksdale, McClure and Carr. David Turner property: Tax Map 78, Parcel 53: Mr. Humphrey explained that this property is currently zoned B-1 and is proposed to be zoned CO. The parcel contains 37.5 acres. Mr. Boyle, representing Mr. Turner, requested that the property be zoned CG. Mr. Humphrey said that the surrounding property is zoned RR, except that the existing use of the Sheraton Inn has been recognized as CG. Mrs. Craddock stated that the appearance of I-64 should be maintained as a scenic highway. Mr. Barksdale said that he feels that CL is the proper zone for this property. Mr. Rinehart said that he feels that CL is the proper zone for this property. Mr. Rinehart put this into the form of a motion. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion that the property be zoned CL. It carried unanimously. Harley Easter Property: Tax Map 78B, Lot 1, 2, 3, 4, lA and 200 foot strip extending west from Glenorchy Drive, Paralleling Route 250 E Mr. McClure disqualified himself from the discussion and the vote by leaving the room. Mr. Humphrey said that this property is currently zoned B-1 and is proposed for RR zoning. Mr. Easter explained that with the surrounding commercial zoning, he did not see how this property could be used if it is zoned RR. He stated that the property must be zoned in order that the use can be at its best, asking that the Planning Commission zone the property CG. He stated that there has been no residential development in that area since I-64 came through. Mr. Barksdale suggested that perhaps this property should be zoned CL. Mrs. Craddock thought that perhaps a higher residenital density would be more appropriate, since there is no need for further commerical stripping. Mr. Rinehart moved that the property be zoned RR. Mrs. Craddock seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of 5-3. Those voting against the motion were Messrs. Gloeckner, Easter, and Barksdale. Wilhoit Property: Tax Map 78, Parcel 12: Mr. Humphrey stated that these 27.2 acres of property were currently zoned B-1 and were proposed to be zoned RM. Mr. Bill Stevens, representing the owner, asked for commercial zoning - CG - stating that there is no public water and sewer available and there is none committed for the future for the property. Mr. Rinehart moved that action on this property be deferred until the Hurt tract were considered. Mrs. Craddock seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Charles Hurt Property: Tax Map 78, Parcels 17, 17A, 17D, 15C, 15C-1, 20, 20B, 20B-1, 30, 31, 57, 59A; and Tax Map 62, Parcels 29 and 55A. Dr. Hurt requested that there be no down -zoning for all this property. He asked for the integrity of his plan to be up -held, citing Worrell Newspapers as an example; He said that development will be put in a rough situation if htere is no consistency in zoning. Mrs. Craddock pointed out that this is only a concept, therefore it is not binding to the developer. Mr. Stevens, representing the owner of property which has a mile of common boundary, stated that they are in accord with Dr. Hurt's proposal. -7- The Work Session Continued. ykw Mr. Carr asked if the Planning Commission wished to concur with Dr. Hurt. Dr. Hurt again asked for stability of zoning, since many projects are 20-30 year plans. Mr. McClure stated that the plan was approved when the re -zoning was approved by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Rinehart moved that the decision on this property be deferred until the Planning Commission could have a work session on this particular property. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, noting that the motion should include a note that the Wilhoit Property (Tax Map 78, Parcel 12) would be considered at the same time. The Commission unanimously voted to approve this motion. J. Todd Samperton: Tax Map 78, Parcel 55A-1: Mr. Humphrey stated that the existing zoning for this property is B-1, and that the owner asked for the same rights to develop it as he had when he purchased it. Mr. Carr stated that this property should be considered at the same time as the Hurt and Wilhoit properties. The Commission unanimously decided to defer this until the work session on these properties. B. J. Shaw - Kennedy Property: Tax Map 79, Parcel 24B: Mr. Humphrey pointed out that this property, currently zoned R-3, abuts A-1 property. He stated that it is proposed to be zoned RR. Mr. Skipp Edelson stated that the 25.98 acres, as well as the 5 plus acre lot has had R-3 zoning use since it was purchased. The owner has already engaged in multiple house units. He does not feel his pro- perty should be down -zoned, especially since the property was purchased with an R-3 use in mind. Mr. Gloeckner stated that whatever is done will be controlled by water and sewer availability, and moved for comparable zoning RM zoning. Mr. Rinehart seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. The Planning Commission had a brief luncheon recess, and Mr. Carr stated that the meeting would commence promptly at 2:00 p.m. John L. Humphrey, Secretary April 16, 1975 The Albemarle County Planning Commission continued its all day work session on the proposed zoning ordinance on Wednesday, April 16, 1975, commencing at 2:00 p.m. Those members present were Mr. David Carr, Chairman; Mr. Clifton McClure, Vice -Chairman; Mr. Kurt Gloeckner; Mr. Peter Easter; Mrs. Joan Graves; Mr. Roy Barksdale; Mrs. Ellen Craddock; Mr. Jack Rinehart; and Mr. Wilbur Tinsley. Absent was Mr. Lloyd Wood, ex-Officio. Mr. Carr established that a quorum was present and called the meeting to order. J. P. Yancey: Tax Map 56, Parcel 17B: Mr. George W. Mumford, Jr., representing J. P. Yancey Realty Co., stated that this property is currently R-3 and is proposed to be zoned RR. He asked that the density support the tax assessment for the 22.8 acres. Mr. Humphrey stated that the staff proposed R-3 zoning. Mr. Barksdale moved that the rear parcel of 17B be zoned R-3. Mr. McClure seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Tax Map 56, Parcels 17 and 17D: Mr. Humphrey told the Commission that Parcel 17 has A-1 zoning at the present except for the 300 feet of frontage. He said that Parcel 17D is currently A-1, too. Both are proposed for RR zoning. Mr. Barksdale moved that these two parcels be zoned R-1. Mr. McClure seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Tax Map 55, Parcel 106A: Mr. Humphrey remarked that the 50 acres are currently zoned A-1 and are proposed for A5 zoning. The applicant wishes zoning comparable to the area. Mr. Barksdale moved for comparable zoning. Mr. Gloeckner seconded this motion. Mr. Easter offered a substitute motion that action be deferred. Mrs. Craddock seconded the substitute motion, which carried by a vote of 5-4. -2- Tax Map 32, Parcel 22K: The existing zoning on this property is B-1 and it is proposed to be zoned CVN. Mr. Humphrey stated that the owner requests 2-acre zoning. Mr. Easter moved that the property be zoned RR with the exception of that property which is in the flood plain area, which should be zoned AGR/CVN. Mr. Barksdale seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Farmington Undeveloped Areas: Mr. Rinehart disqualified himself from the discussion and the vote by leaving the room. Mr. Humphrey stated that the area is proposed for 5-acre density and that Farmington, Inc., is requesting 2-acre density. Mrs. Craddock stated that the true green belt ( 5-acre density ) should be dept until an extensive plan for development is submitted by °ilrr Farmington. Mr. Gloeckner stated that he had no objection to a 2-acre density in this area. Mr. Humphrey stated that it is the staff's feeling that existing Farmington development should be made conforming with either R-1 or RR zoning and the undeveloped area should be put into the 5-acre density. Mrs. Craddock moved that action on this be deferred on exisLing development and undeveloped areas. Mrs. Graves seconded the motion, which lost by a vote of 2-5 against the motion. Mrs. Graves then moved that the Undeveloped areas of Farmington, the Dure property, and Northlea property all be zoned 5-acre density. This motion did not carry - the vote was 3-5 against the motion. Mr. McClure moved that three areas be considered together and that action be deferred. Mr. Barksdale seconded this motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Barksdale then moved that the developed areas of Farmington be made conforming with R-1 zoning. Mr. Easter seconded this motion, which carried unanimously. -3- Tax Map 69, Parcels 51-5, 51-4, and 51: Mr. Humphrey said that the property is currently zoned A-1 and proposed to be zoned CVN. Mr. Charles Smith, Jr., said that the 180 acres are steep toward the back, but that the front is gently rolling for residential use. He asked for RR zoning except for that which fronts on Route 250, which he asked be zoned commercial. Mr. Rinehart moved 5-acre density ( AGR/CVN ) zoning. Mrs. Craddock seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Wingfield Property: Tax Map 100, Parcel 30: Mr. Bill Stevens, representing the owner, said that it is economically not feasible to have CVN ( 5-acre ) zoning for this area since it would depress the value of the property. Mr. Humphrey pointed out that an agricultural endeavor is permitted in the CVN zone. Mr. Barksdale moved that 35.6 acres on the west side of the road be zoned RR. The motion died for lack of a second. The Commission therefore recommended that the property remain as proposed for 5-acre zoning. Hugh Burruss Property: Tax Map 7, Parcel 8: Mr. Humphrey said that the 125 acres are on Fox Mountain. Mr. Burruss wants to develop this property so that there is 1 dwelling unit per 1.5 acres.

Burton Property: Tax Map 32C; Tax Map 32C, Parcel B; Tax Map 32C, Parcel A; Tax Map 32, Parcel 49D: Mrs. Burton stated that the existing development should be made conforming and asked for the right to continue developing the back acreage in the same fashion, which she could not do if the property is zoned RR, as proposed. Mr. Humphrey stated that this request would require R-2 zoning for the existing development and R-1 for the undeveloped area. Mr. Tinsley moved R-2 zoning for the developed area. This motion, which carried unanimously, was seconded by Mr. McClure. Mr. Rinehart moved that the back section -- undeveloped area -- be zoned RR. Mr. Tinsley seconded this motion, which carried unanimously. Tax Map 44, Parcels 19, 20, 23, 23C, 27B, 27, 12B: Mr. Carr disqualified himself from the discussion and the vote by leaving the room. In his absence, Mr. McClure assumed the chairman- ship. Mrs. Garnett stated that this property is joined by all possible proposed zones, and therefore requested that the 5-acre proposed zoning be changedto 2-acre zoning. Mrs. Graves moved action be deferred, until a decision could be made on 2-acre zoning. Mrs. Craddock seconded the motion, which carried by a vote of 7-1. Tax Map 61 U, Parcels 8 and 10: Tax Map 61U, Parcels 9A and 10A: Tax Map 61U - Parcel 12: Tax Map 61, Parcel 119: Tax Map 61, Parcel 24B, 24, 26, 29D, 29E: 5- Wood: I'm going to speak for Mr. Robertson, Mr. Birckhead, and my brother, and myself. With respect to the parcel on the south - side of Dominion Drive, the corner on the northside of Dominion Drive, the corner on the northside of Dominion Drive, a piece of land that is not marked on here, and should be marked on here. It's a triangular parcel adjoining the Shopper's World - it ists right in here like that ( pointed to the tax map. ) Carr: Draw it on there please, somebody. Wood: You got a pen? Carr: Do you happen to know the tax parcel of that, Mr. Wood? Wood: I don't think they've given it one - it was only divided in March. Carr: Oh, I see; all right. Wood: But it sits there just like that, being treated as part of these lots here. Carr: All right. Rinehart: Mr. Wood, would you also show the one at the south end? Wood: Yes, that's 200 x 200, roughly. Lot 11, Mr. Birckhead's - No, Mr. Robertson's; Lot 10, lot 9, Mr. Birckhead's; Lot 8, Mr. Robertson's. This is really one here - yeh, there's the one, one this blue here, blue is my brother and myself and CG here is my borther's and mine. Ah - before I begin, I think it would be only proper to ask that Mrs. Graves disqualify herself in this capacity, in the semi - judicial capacity in which she sits; since she is a resident of the Berkeley Subdivision which adjoins this property and has opposed at every turn any commercial ventures in this area for many years. I do not think it would be proper for her to sit in the judicial capacity at this time. Carr: All right, Mr. Wood, let's address that question. I seek advice of counsel on that unless Mrs. Graves wishes to, unless she has some comment on that prior to asking Mr. Payne what his views are on that. Graves: I'll listen to Mr. Payne's views. Payne: I assume that Mr. Wood asks Mrs. Graves to step down on basis of Conflict of Interests Act. Well, Mr. Chairman, as you're well aware, official opinions on the Conflict of Interests Act are to be rendered by the Commonwealth's Attorney. Therefore, anything I say is to be treated purely advisory, but I have viewed this matter previously with Mrs. Graves and with others and I believe that any property interests Mrs. Graves has in this area is obviously not related to this immediate area - it is the Berkeley Subdivision, as I understand it. And I believe that any property interests she has would be only indirectly affected by any decision that would be made here. And that, in such effect, is to promote and constitute the Conflict of Interests. Therefore, I think that unless Mrs. Graves wishes to speak her views, or you wish to speak to the Commonwealth's Attorney, I think this is a matter for Mrs. Graves' conscience, whether she thinks she can deal fairly with the matter. Graves: Mrs. Graves has dealt with her conscience on this matter. Every- thing I have done has been in the public eye; my opposition has been well-known - I was neither appointed to the Planning Commission because of it or in spite of it. I have spoken with Mr. Helvin who has promised to get me a letter stating that as far as he was concerned, I had no conflict of interests. I don't have the letter to hand. I do not consider that I have any conflicts - I may have interesting conflicts, but so do other members of the Commission. I will not step down from here. You may challenge me if you wish. Carr: The Chairman has looked to the matter and the Chairman feels that Mrs. Graves has a right to make her own decision in that matter - that legally she is qualified to sit and to vote on this matter. And if you disagree with that, Mr. Wood, we will do one of two things: we will defer this hearing until that question can be resolved, or we'll proceed, and I'll be glad to ... Wood: I would like to note my objection to the Chair's ruling and pro- ceed. Carr: All right, sir. Mr. Wood stated that he was requesting CG zoning for the Robertson property and for his own property.
