The Albemarle County Planning Commission held a public hearing on Tuesday, May
21, 1996, in the County Office Building, Charlottesville, Virginia. Those members
present were: Mr. Bill Nitchmann, Chairman; Mr. Bruce Dotson, Vice Chair; Mr. William
Finley; Mr. David Tice; Ms. Hilda Lee -Washington; and Mr. Jared Loewenstein. Others
officials present were: Mr. Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning and Community
Development; Mr. John Shepherd, Planner; Mr. Ron Lilley, Senior Planner; and Mr.
Greg Kamptner, Assistant County Attorney. Absent: Commissioner Huckle.
At 7:00 p.m. Mr. Nitchmann called the Planning Commission meeting to order and
established that a quorum was present. The minutes of May 7, 1996, were
unanimously approved as amended.
Mr. Cilimberg briefly summarized actions taken at the May 8th and May 15th Board of
Supervisors meetings.
ZMA-96-04 Encore Investments Ltd Partnership - Proposal to rezone
approximately 11 acres from CO, Commercial Office and R-10, Residential to PD-MC,
Planned Development Mixed Commercial. Property, described as Tax Map 61, Parcels
124A, 124B, and 124C is located on the north side of Rio Road east of Putt -Putt Lane
in the Rio Magisterial District. This area is recommended for Office Service in
Neighborhood 2.
The applicant was requesting deferral to June 4, 1996.
Public comment was invited. None was offered.
MOTION: Mr. Loewenstein moved, Mr. Dotson seconded, that ZMA-96-04 be deferred
to June 4, 1996. The motion passed unanimously.
SUB-96-005 Gilbert Station Woods Final Plat - Proposal to establish a rural
preservation development consisting of 20 development lots averaging 5.31 acres and
two preservation tracts containing 69.5 acres and 100 acres and two preservation tracts
containing 79.5 acres and 100 acres. Property, described as Tax Map 33, parcel 31
and Tax Map 34, Parcel 22 is zoned RA, Rural Areas and is located on the west side of
Rt. 640 approximately 0.6 miles west of Rt. 784 in the Rivanna Magisterial District.
Deferred from the May 14, 1996 Commission Meeting.

Mr. Shepherd presented a brief verbal report , relating to the safety of Rt. 640, which
was a response to questions raised by the Commission at the May 14th meeting.
Additional information included the following:
--In response to the question "Does this development substantially create the
need for improvements to the road based on public health and safety matters?", staff
gathered the following information:
Comments from VDOT: Rt. 640 from Rt. 784 to Rt. 20 is "on the list of
roads to be improved," but is not on the priority list and is not funded. The
segment between Rt. 640 and Rt. 784 is not on the list for improvements at this
time. The bridge is on the list for improvements, but is not currently funded
either. Some maintenance to the bridge is scheduled for later this year. Rt. 640
is a gravel road and is not on the priority list for immediate attention. Paving the
road could decrease safety because it would invite higher traveling speeds.
Traffic volumes on this road are "relatively low" compared to other gravel roads
in the County.
Comments from the Education Department: This stretch of Rt. 640 is not
on the Schools' list of 34 roads which it considers to be a problem.
Comments from the Police Department: In the last 5 years there has
been one accident on Rt. 640 (and one on Rt. 747). Both those accidents
occurred during icy conditions.
Based on this information, it was staffs position that "this development would not
substantially create the need to improve the road, based on safety."
The applicant was represented by Mr. Katurah Roel. He pointed out that Rt. 640, to the
east, is very passable, and the majority of traffic will travel that way.
No public comment was offered.
Mr. Dotson said staff had presented a good report in its response to the issues raised
by the Commission at the May 14th meeting. He pointed out that the Schools are not
concerned about the road and it has no unusual accident record. He said he could now
feel comfortable with taking action on the request.
MOTION: Mr. Dotson moved, Ms. Washington, seconded, that the Gilbert Station
Woods Final Plat be approved, subject to those conditions listed in the staff report.
dated May 14, 1996. The motion passed unanimously.
ZMA-96-05 Kenneth J. Newell (Applicant), CCAT2/University Limited Liability
Company (Owner) - Proposal to amend the proffers for the University Village
development, as established with ZMA 97-08, to allow development on the portion of
the property closest to Old Ivy Road. Tax Map 60132, Parcel 1 (part), located at the
existing University Village Complex on the north side of Route 601 (Old Ivy Road), just

east of the Route 20/Route 250 Bypass in the Jack Jouett Magisterial District. Property
is zoned R-10 with proffers and is designated for High Density Residential in
Neighborhood 7. Deferred from the May 7, 1996 Commission meeting.
m
SP-96-09 Kenneth J. Newell (Applicant), CCAT2/University Limited Liability
Company (Owner) - Proposal to establish an assisted living facility on a portion of the
University Village property. Tax Map 60132, Parcel 1 (part), located at the existing
University Village Complex on the north side of Route 601 (Old Ivy Road), just east of
the Route 20/Route 250 Bypass in the Jack Jouett Magisterial District. Property is
zoned R-10 with proffers and is designated for High Density Residential in
Neighborhood 7. Deferred from the May 7, 1996 Commission meeting.
AND
SDP-96-015 Kenneth J. Newell (Applicant), CCAT2/University Limited Liability
Company (Owner) - Proposal to construct an assisted living facility of approximately
56,000 square feet on approximately 5.4 acres. Tax Map 60132, Parcel 1 (part),
located at the existing University Village Complex on the north side of Route 601 (Old
`%W Ivy Road), just east of the Route 20/Route 250 Bypass in the Jack Jouett Magisterial
District. Property is zoned R-10 with proffers and is designated for High Density
Residential in Neighborhood 7. Deferred from the May 7, 1996 Commission meeting.
Mr. Lilley presented the staff report. Staff was recommending approval of: (1) the
ZMA, subject to acceptance of the applicant's proffers; (2) the SP, subject to
conditions; (3) the preliminary site plan, subject to conditions; and (4) a modification to
allow one-way circulation. The staff report concluded: "Staff finds that the traffic
generation from this property is adequately addressed by the proposed proffers and
that the trade of development area and landscape/recreation area of the current
proffers would not significantly compromise the intent of the current proffers regarding
buffering of adjacent properties. Staff finds that the special use permit for the assisted
living facility is supportable with conditions regarding facility size and provision of
landscape buffering, and staff finds that the allowance for a one-way drop-off area is
supportable. Staff believes that a pedestrian link between the proposed facility and the
existing condominium building should be provided."
Mr. Lilley said the County Attorney has advised that the applicant's proffers may need
to be revised somewhat so that they will be clearer.
M
5-21-96 4
Mr. Lilley referenced two petitions of opposition which were received by the Planning
Department --one from Ivy Gardens containing 140 signatures and one from Huntington
Village containing 73 signatures.
Mr. Dotson asked if staff could distinguish between several similar terms which were
used in the staff report and the proffers --nursing care facility, assisted living facility,
health care facility, nursing home facility and personal care facility for the aged. Mr.
Lilley said an assisted living facility is an "intermediate" care facility whereas a nursing
care facility is more "involved" care which requires a Certificate of Need from the State
Health Department. He deferred to the applicant for further explanation.
The applicant's presentation was coordinated by Mr. Ed Bain. He was assisted by Ken
Newell, Paige Williams, Phyllis Rubenstein, Tom Gale and Jack Shadey. Mr. Williams
described how CCAT2 had acquired the property ("the remaining property of University
Village and the unsold units") in 1995, from the original developer. Mr. Newell provided
some background information on the applicant. Additional information and comments
included:
--This proposal does not increase the number of units originally approved, but
does seek to change some of those units into "assisted care" units.
--Holiday Retirement Centers, the applicant, is a nationwide company
(headquartered in Richmond) with four centers already existing in Virginia.
--The proposal is for a 53,000 square foot, 89-unit, assisted -living facility. Some
units will accommodate 2 residents. Average age of residents is 72. State licensing will
allow for 126 residents.
--Nursing-home care requires a Certificate of Need and involves a high -degree of
medical assistance and nursing care for the residents. Assisted -living (residential -care,
personal -care), licensed as Homes for Adults in this state, provides a "turn -key lifestyle
for residents and is a bridge between independent living and nursing home care."
--This type of facility has no impact on educational systems and very little impact
on traffic counts. Most traffic will be employee traffic. A shuttle service will be provided
for residents.
--The developer has indicated "at some point in time he wants to reserve the
right to make University Village a full -service campus and offer nursing home care."
--Area 10 (on the plan) is most suited for a future nursing home. An assisted -
care facility, as the one proposed, is more "visibility need driven." Area 10 is not
suitable because of lack of visibility and topographical problems. The site in front has
been chosen because of its visibility and ease of access.
--The applicant is willing to work with staff to "dress up" the proffers.
In response to Mr. Dotson's question as to how the facility will fit in with the site, Mr.
John Shady, architect for the project, presented a drawing of the project and explained
the layout.

Mr. Tice asked about the area marked as "Area 9" on the plan. Mr. Bain said Area 9 is
a stormwater detention facility and it will remain as is.
Ms. Opal David, representing the University Retirement Village, addressed the
Commission and read a statement supporting the proposal. Her statement is made a
part of this record as Attachment A.
Dr. Jackson Riddle, representing the University Village Owners' Association,
addressed the Commission and a read a statement supporting the proposal. His
statement is made a part of this record as Attachment B.
Mr. Dotson asked Dr. Riddle how a resident of University Village might benefit from this
proposed facility. Dr. Riddle explained a person now residing in University Village
would be able to move to the assisted care facility at such time as he/she might
become unable to live completely independently. The proposed facility can also
provide care for a person who might be recovering from a hospital stay, acting as a
temporary arrangement until the person is again able to live independently.
Mr. Finley asked if the proposed assisted care facility would serve only University
Village residents. Dr. Riddle replied negatively, explaining that the facility is for the
entire community. However, in exchange for University Village providing the applicant
` W with "two easements off our drive," University Village has asked for "priority admission"
for its residents.
Public comment was invited.
The following members of the public expressed opposition to the proposal: Robin
Cordle (President of the Huntington Village Homeowners Association); Mr. Bill Finley, a
resident of Huntington Village; Mr. Todd Schaffranek (Operations Manager of Ivy
Gardens); Ms. Paige Mansey; Mark Webb (a resident of Huntington Village); Mr. Brian
Betts (Operations Manager for Huntington Village); and Ms. Toby Packard (resident of
Huntington Village). Mr. Cordle's comments, along with a sketch of the proposal
showing its relation to Huntington Village, are made a part of this record as
Attachments C and D. Reasons for opposition included the following:
--There are other alternative sites on the University Village property which would
have very little impact on the adjacent neighborhoods.
--Lighting, noise and traffic will forever alter the character of the neighborhoods.
--The neighboring properties relied on the proffers that were a part of the 1986
rezoning. Approval of this request would represent a "breach of trust" which was
established by the prior proffers.
--The proposed layout is solely for the convenience and profit of the developer.

C.
Ms. Packard asked why the applicant repeatedly used the term "campus" in his
comments. She asked if this project is in any way connected to the University. (Mr.
Bain later addressed this comment and explained that the development is in no way
connected to the University.)
Some of those who expressed opposition to the current proposal said they had no
objections to the development as approved in 1986.
In response to a comment made by the public, the applicant said the site which already
has a foundation in place is not desirable for the Manor House because of the costs
involved in removing what has already been constructed, the cost of road
improvements to reach that part of the property, and because the applicant feels the
proposed site is the only "attractive and acceptable site," for this facility at University
Village.
Addressing questions raised about stormwater detention provisions, Mr. Tom Gale,
engineer for the project, said the applicant will have to meet all the requirements of the
County's Stormwater Detention Ordinance as a part of the final site plan. He said the
stormwater detention facility which is presently in place on the property may have to be
increased in size.
1%W Mr. Nitchmann asked about parking requirements. Mr. Lilley explained the applicant
has provided more parking than required by the Ordinance. Mr. Bain said the applicant
would be willing to reduce the parking spaces.
Mr. Lilley explained how the traffic generation figure had been calculated. Mr. Newell
said, in most areas, the figure is based on 'A beds = the equivalent of 1 residential unit."
Mr. Newell thought the approach taken by the Planning staff was "probably the more
aggressive approach in terms of impact."
Mr. Bain said he felt the Board of Supervisors, in its original approval on this property,
had made a "philosophical decision" based on the determination that "we have this, it is
an area close in to town ... and the decision was made given the traffic and given the
problems which existed at that time, and exist today along that stretch of Rt. 601." He
said the present applicant is "reducing the number so that the traffic will not go beyond
what was originally anticipated in terms of the use of this property."
Mr. Tice asked staff to compare the size of this proposed facility with the size of an
indoor tennis pavilion (which had been shown for this location on the original plans for
the property). Mr. Lilley said he could not quote square footages. However, he pointed
out the location where the recreational area was shown on the original plan. Those
plans included two indoor tennis courts, 120' x 120', plus parking. He pointed out the
location where future residential units had been planned. He concluded that something
o-q
5-21-96 7
about the size of this currently proposed facility was "what was originally envisioned."
He concluded: Visually, I would estimate about three-quarters of what is presently
proposed was previously proposed in terms of the footprint, not including the residential
units." He said inclusion of the residential units would probably make the previous
proposal larger than this present proposal. The facility proposed is approximately 32' to
35' in height.
Regarding the original proffer related to the recreational area, Mr. Lilley said the proffers
indicate "recreational facilities would have been placed in that area to include 2 indoor
tennis courts and 2 or 3 outdoor tennis courts, among other things."
In terms of buffering Mr. Bain said: We will do what the staff and Ordinance require
and will do more than the Ordinance. We understand the concerns from the neighbors.
In terms of the lighting, the parking area must have some lighting, but the Ordinance
will require that it be directed inward. I'm not sure what was meant on the comments
about security. Security will be present at this facility 24 hours/day. If it relates to
outsiders, we were not planning on fencing, but if that's a suggestion and both the
Huntington Village people and the Commission think that's important, we can address
that."
Ms. Washington tried to understand better what was meant by the term "assisted care"
facility. She wanted to know specifically if it meant persons with disabilities, other than
those associated with the aging process, could be accommodated at this facility. Mr.
Newell explained the average resident of the Manor House will be 82 years of age, and
75% will be female, 25% male. [NOTE: In earlier comments, Mr. Newell had said the
average age was 72.] He said the facility will not be licensed to care for the mentally or
emotionally handicapped. Residents who may, over time, develop age -related mental
disabilities (e.g. dementia) to a point where they can no longer live independently in
this type of residential care facility, would have to be moved to a facility licensed as a
nursing home.
Mr. Nitchmann asked what percentage of residents will come from the local population.
Mr. Newell estimated approximately 10% will be residents who have been "recruited"
from family members who are already residents of the facility, or who have family
members who live in the area. He concluded: "Clearly, when we do our market
analysis, we base all of our penetration rates on a 10-mile circle. Basically, it's a home-
grown product." Average stay of residents is 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years. However, the facility
can also be used temporarily for persons who are recuperating from surgery or
illnesses, when short-term care is needed. Those persons would then move back to
their own homes. The socio-economic level served is, typically, "middle class."
Mr. Tice said, in his opinion, one of the more objectionable aspects of the location of
the parking lot in terms of how it replaces "green" space. He asked if consideration had
r:D
5-21-96 8
been given to putting the parking area on the opposite side of the building. Mr. Newell
said the applicant had considered that possibility, but because of the topography of the
property, it was not feasible. Also, the applicant wanted the front of the building to have
a proper orientation to Old Ivy Road.
Mr. Finley asked how this proposed design compares to the originally planned
recreational facility in terms of its impact on the view from surrounding properties. Mr.
Newell said only a few of the Huntington Village buildings are actually on the property
line. He did not think the visual impact was significantly different. The proposed
building is approximately 32 feet high and an indoor tennis facility could be 30 to 35 feet
high and would not be as architecturally pleasing as this building will be.
A member of the public, Mr. Mike Kwellen, Property Manager for Ivy Gardens and
Huntington Village, was allowed a brief comment. He pointed out that almost 30 homes
share a boundary with this project. He expressed concerns about traffic. He said his
primary concern, however, was the fact that one of the original proffers for University
Village had provided for "green zones --recreational areas," and that proffer was offered
as an incentive for the County to approve the project. He said: "I assume that those
landscaped areas were to protect somebody or to preserve something, and if not the
homes adjacent to it, then what? By moving the facility from the back of the property to
the front as proposed here, you are shifting the burden of the facility from outside their
windows to outside of our windows."
There being no further comment, the matter was placed before the Commission.
Mr. Nitchmann asked what types of uses could be placed on this property if it were to
be sold today. Mr. Lilley explained that only a "landscaped recreational area", as
described in theproffer which was a part of the original rezoning, could be placed on the
property. Mr. Lilley also pointed out the location of residential areas as they were on
the original plan. That plan was for a total of 260 residential units, 230 in the main
building and 30 in independent, single-family type units. The original proffers restrict
the usage of those single-family units to the elderly (62 or older). This current plan
would change that total to 204 residential units.
Mr. Nitchmann asked where the Manor House could be located on the property, other
than what is proposed here. Mr. Lilley pointed to Area 10 on the plan, which was
originally designated for a health-care facility. That facility had been approved as a
nursing home by a 1989 special use permit. It is in that location that a foundation was
begun, but later abandoned. That foundation remains in place.
Mr. Dotson asked if the facility proposed here could have been located in Area 7 on the
original plan. Mr. Lilley said the original proffer ties Area 7 to residential development
1401 only. Without modification of the original proffers only Area 10 (on the original plan)
5-21-96 9
Now could be used for a health-care facility. Mr. Lilley confirmed that the proposed Manor
House is considered a health-care facility.
Mr. Nitchmann said the proposed use is one for which there is an increasing demand.
However, the current proposal, though it represents a tastefully designed facility, must
be weighed against the adjacent property owners who relied on the proffers made with
ZMA-87-08. Those proffers said this area would be used for recreational uses which
would have more "green area" than this proposed building, regardless of its attractive
design.
Mr. Dotson said the question for him is "what credence to give the proffers." He said
the neighbors have relied on the original proffers as to the development of this property
so the importance of those proffers is a factor. Another factor to be considered is
whether this proposal, even with neighborhood opposition, might be in the best public
interest. Neighborhood reaction, though important, is not always the only factor the
Commission must consider in its decision. He cautioned the public that denial of this
request means the neighbors "may get what you want" which may be a large
recreational facility that does not have the open space which presently exists. Another
factor is that this site does have other possibilities where this proposed facility could be
located, though it may not be the most favorable from the applicant's viewpoint and it
might require a new zoning text amendment and new proffers. He said he did not think
`'W the neighbors oppose the proposed use, but rather they have relied on particular
proffers about the uses in this area. He concluded: "In my point of view, weighing all
those factors, I am inclined to give considerable credence to the proffers as they stand
now and not support this request."
Mr. Loewenstein said he agreed with Mr. Dotson. He added: "In addition to placing
reliance on the proffers, which is an important part of the process, I think it is important
for us to keep in mind what we have done as a County and what we have said and the
factors that were weighed in making previous decisions. I agree with you that
neighborhood opinion is important. I don't think it is always sufficient to override the
public interest in the larger sense, but I think, in this case, since there is an alternative
location on this site where the same use could be achieved, that certainly is a mitigating
factor. I understand the commercial interests associated with a venture of this kind and
I appreciate the applicant's position in that respect. But I think we do have to respect
the existing proffers and I think we have to respect the commitment we have made as a
County and, therefore, I am not prepared to support this."
Mr. Finley pointed out that the original proffer would allow for a tennis pavilion on this
site. He wondered how much difference, in terms of view from adjacent properties,
there might be between this building vs. a tennis court with buffers in place. Given the
topography of the property, he said the buffers will probably not make much difference
given the fact that Huntington Village will still be looking down on the site. He
5-21-96 10
concluded: "Overall, I would tend to support the request, taking all things into
consideration."
Mr. Nitchmann recalled many times, during his service on the Commission, where
neighbors have expressed concerns about the impact of development on adjacent
property. Many of those times, it would have been helpful if proffers had been in place
on the property. He said: "Proffers were put in place on this property. Now, because
the development of site No. 10 is not as attractive, or for whatever reason, for the
health care center, this site now looks like a good site (to this developer). ... We've
always looked at proffers as being fairly sacred, at least I have. We go out of our way
to ask developers to put specific proffers on property to try to protect people. My
concern is, if we approve this, in one sense we are throwing out the proffers that were
put in place 14 years ago to try to protect a group of homeowners who live in Ivy
Gardens. I realize we are in a changing world (but) I have a hard time with this
because if I voted for this I would be saying the reason the previous Board and
Commission asked for proffers in 1984 doesn't hold water today and any proffers we
put in place today (would not be important) 10 years from today just because the
property did not get developed at the time (the proffers were accepted. ) I like the
Manor House approach; I think it really serves a need in the community; we're all going
to be needing that at some time in our life." He said he would have liked to have had
more information from the developer as to why site No. 10 was not acceptable for the
Manor House. He said he did not really view this as commercial space, but rather as
very tastefully done living space. He said he would have liked to have seen the
applicant meet with the adjacent property owners to address some of their concerns,
e.g. type of fencing, width of buffer, etc.
Mr. Dotson said he thought the nature of the project was "a good idea", but "the location
is not a good idea."
MOTION: Mr. Dotson moved that ZMA 96-05 for Kenneth J. Newell (applicant),
CCAT2/University Limited Liability Company (Owner), be recommended to the Board of
Supervisors for denial. Mr. Loewenstein seconded the motion.
Mr. Kamptner, in response to Mr. Finley's questions, explained the options available to
the applicant in the event the Commission recommends denial to the Board.
Mr. Dotson asked if the applicant were able to address some of the public concerns, as
stated by Mr. Nitchmann, and possibly relocate the building on the site, would a new
application be necessary. Mr. Lilley said if a new proposal were "substantially different"
a new rezoning would be required. Mr. Kamptner said: "What would likely happen is
that the Board might refer it back." Mr. Cilimberg added: "At a minimum, it might come
back to the Commission if it were a change of location. The rezoning applies to the
% entire property and it indicates proffers as its been advertised. But if there is a
/VY
5-21-96 11
substantial change in the way things are being proposed, it would come back to you."
Mr. Dotson summarized: "Minor modifications could be addressed by the Board; major
(modifications), it would need to come back here."
At Mr. Finley's request, Mr. Cilimberg briefly explained the staffs role in the review of
projects in terms of interaction with the applicant and the public. Mr. Cilimberg said it is
the Commission's and Board's role to make a decision based on all the information
presented by staff, the applicant's presentation, and the public comment which is
presented at the public hearing. Mr. Finley said he relies very heavily on the Planning
staffs recommendation in his review of proposals.
The motion for denial passed (5:1) with Commissioner Finley casting the dissenting
vote.
Mr. Kamptner reminded the Commission that even though the Commission was
recommending denial of the ZMA, it still needed to give guidance to the Board on the
special permit application, (in the event the Board should approve the ZMA).
To mitigate impact on adjoining properties, Mr. Dotson suggested an additional
condition: "Parking not to exceed the minimum Ordinance requirements." Mr.
Nitchmann said he would like to see a wider buffer between the two facilities and also a
type of "tastefully done fencing" that would be acceptable to the adjacent property
owners.
Mr. Tice again expressed concern about the location of the parking lot. He felt it would
better protect "the integrity of the green that was originally promised between Old Ivy
Road and the building" if the parking were moved to the "back." Mr. Cilimberg said
there was extensive cut area in that part of the property referred to by Mr. Tice. Moving
the parking to that area would involve more of a cut. Mr. Tice thought the tradeoff in
protecting the green area, even if terracing and retaining walls are needed, was worth
making the change. Mr. Tice also thought this change would also better address
stormwater runoff from the parking area. Mr. Nitchmann questioned how well elderly
residents would be able to maneuver the parking area if moved as suggested by Mr.
Tice.
Mr. Kamptner asked for clarification on the Commission's intent in respect to the
landscape buffering. He read condition No. 3 as proposed: "Landscape buffering
between the assisted living facility and the Huntington Village residential development
shall be provided as required by the Albemarle County Planning Department staff." Mr.
Nitchmann said he had not intended his suggestion to be in the form of a condition
because he did not know for sure, at this point, whether a fence was a good idea. He
felt it was sufficient that his concern was a part of the record. He suggested no
modification to the condition as read by Mr. Kamptner.

14W Mr. Dotson asked if the pedestrian link, mentioned in the comments about the site plan,
might be appropriately addressed with an added condition on the special permit. Mr.
Cilimberg replied affirmatively.
MOTION: Mr. Dotson moved, Mr. Loewenstein seconded, that SP-96-09 Kenneth J.
Newell (Applicant), CCAT2/University Limited Liability Company (Owner) be
recommended to the Board of Supervisors for approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. Facility to be located in general conformance with the preliminary site plan for
"Manor House at University Village" dated February 26, 1996, and revised through May
2, 1996.
2. The number of beds for the assisted living facility shall not exceed 126.
3. Landscape buffering between the assisted living facility and the Huntington Village
residential development shall be provided as required by the Albemarle County
Planning Department staff.
4. Parking shall not exceed minimum Ordinance requirements.
5. A pedestrian link shall be provided between University Village and this facility.
(Related to current proffers which call for site development to include a network of
walking paths and to provide for internal circulation needs.)
Mr. Kamptner commented: "If the Board approves the rezoning and accepts the new
proffers, the new proffers don't include that pedestrian link. But this condition stands
independently to address the circulation internally."
The motion for approval of the special permit passed (5:1) with Commissioner
Washington casting the dissenting vote.
It was the consensus of the Commission to defer action on the site plan until after the
Board's action on the ZMA and SP.
MOTION: Mr. Dotson moved, Mr. Loewenstein seconded, that the Kenneth Newell/
CCAT2/University Limited Liability site plan deferred to June 18, 1996. The motion
passed unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.
