After establishing that a quorum was present, Mrs. Diehl called the meeting to
order.
The minutes of April 6, 1982 and May 25, 1982 were approved as submitted.
River Heights Final Plat - located on the west side of Route 29 North (southbound
lane), south of the South Fork of the Rivanna River and north of Route 659;
proposal to divide 74+ acres into 4 lots (ranging in size from 4.08 acres to
15.16 acres) and having 43+ acres in residue. Charlottesville Magisterial District.
(TM 45, Parcels 68D(1), 68D(2) and 68D(3)). DEFERRED FROM NOVEMBER 16, 1982.
Ms. Imhoff presented the staff report.
Mrs. Diehl asked if the applicant had any comment.
Mr. Wendell Wood, the applicant, stated that it was his understanding that
two entrances were approved from Rt. 29 when the rezoning for this parcel was
approved.
Ms. Imhoff noted that the traffic distribution plans would have to be approved by
the Highway Department.
Mr. Wood stated that they were asked by the Highway Department to prepare a traffic
analysis plan based upon the maximum use of this road. He stated that he felt access
was being denied based upon this traffic analysis plan. He also noted that Parcel B
has 800' of road frontage and pointed out that they did not anticipate that access
to Rt. 29 would be denied. He noted that this entire parcel is under one ownership
and stated that if it were owned by two or more different owners; each owner would
be given direct access from Rt. 29. He noted that adequate sight distance is
available and reiterated that they are asking for three entrances, one to Parcel C,
one to Parcel B, and one to Parcel D.
Mr. Wood noted that if direct access were denied to Parcel B (access to Rt. 29) this
would effect the development capabilities of this parcel.
M
with no comment from the public, Mrs. Diehl stated that this matter was before
the Commission.
Mrs. Diehl noted that from a planning viewpoint, the Commission must plan for
the maximum development allowed for the area.
Mr. Cogan noted other instances where access to a major highway has been denied.
He noted that if direct access from Parcel D could be provided for and approved
by the Highway Department, he would not be opposed to this.
Mr. Davis asked if a maintenance agreement would be necessary between Parcel D
and Hilton Heights Road.
Ms. Imhoff noted that the roads will eventually be taken into the State system
as they serve the residue as well. She pointed out that Parcel C has direct access
onto Rt. 29 as well as internal access.
Mr. Davis stated that he felt the maintenance agreement (for the 50' access easement)
should be required.
Mr. Davis questioned the need for internal access to Parcels C and D.
Mr. Roosevelt showed on the plan the location of the proposed entrances and the
traffic configuration created by this property. He explained that internal
access to Parcel C and D would allow for a better traffic flow both in a north
and south direction.
Ms. Imhoff pointed out that conditions g and h outlined in the staff report
adequately address the entrancec. (CONDITION G: Note on the plat that Parcel D
may have one access onto Route 29 North designed and designated as an exit only;
CONDITION H: Note on the plat that Parcel C shall have only one entrance onto
Route 29 North which is to be located a minimum of 500' from the crossover.)
Mrs. Diehl noted that the Highway Department and the County Engineer recommends
that the access onto Rt. 29 be designated as an exit only.
Mr. Trevillian stated that the Commission should consider the traffic flow from
Carrsbrook noting that the turn lane would have to be lowered which in turn would
allow Parcel D to have an entrance and exit to Rt. 29.
Mr. Roosevelt stated that the option to lower- the road and build a crossover at
Carrsbrook would tie in with the 29 North Corridor Study. He noted that as part
of the reconstruction of Rt. 29, the study calls for the road to be six lanes
wide with a crossover at Carrsbrook.
Mr. Roosevelt also noted that the Corridor Study was based on the premise that
this was the maximum design in this corridor without purchasing additional
right-of-way.

• The applicant is put on notice that the Planning Commission is enforcing the
Highway Department's recommendation not to approve construction of intermediate
