CARRSBROOK FINAL PLAT (LOTS 3, 4, 5, 6 ON PROPOSED GLOUCESTER COURT) -
Located on northern side of Route 1424, Gloucester Road in Carrs-
brook Subdivision. Proposal to divide four lots ranging in size
from 45,000 to 64,653 square feet. Tax Map 45B(2), Parcel 2-1,
Zoned R-1, Residential. Charlottesville Magisterial District.
DEFERRED FROM MAY 15, 1984.
Ms. Scala gave the staff report.
Mr. A.F. Edwards, representing the applicant, addressed the
Commission. He stated the applicant had no objections to any of
the conditions of staff.
There being no public comment, the matter was placed before the
Commission.
Mr. Bowerman stated his feeling that all the previous concerns
of the Commission had now been addressed.
It was determined that the sewer line for the project would be
a new line -and would connect with the Hilton line. .
Mr. Michel moved that the Carrsbrook Final Plat (lots 3, 4, 5, 6
on proposed Gloucester Court) be approved subject to the following
conditions and with approval of a waiver of Section 18-8:
1. The final plat will not be signed until the following
conditions have been met:
a. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation
approval of road plans;
b. Road bond including street sign.
2. It is the intent of the Planning Commission that all lots
3-6 shall be served by public sewer and that the sewer
easement shall extend to lot 2.

Mr. Skove seconded the motion which was unanimously approved.
MAMIE ADCOCK FINAL PLAT - Located on the east side of Route 680,
-0.5 mile south of its intersection with Route 810. Proposal to
create 2 lots of 2.18 and 2.61 acres, with ±99 acres residue.
Request for waiver of 18-36f, so residue is not restricted to
access from the private road. Zoned RA, Rural Areas. Tax Map
41, Parcel 20. White Hall Magisterial District.
Ms. McCulley gave the staff report.
in response to Mr. Cogan's inquiry, Ms. McCulley confirmed that
a waiver was being asked for Section 18-36f {not 18-36d as
referred to in Mr. Gale's letter.). Quoting from Section 18-36f
of the Subdivision Ordinance, Ms. McCulley stated the following:
Any lot fronting on any such road (referring to private
roads) shall enter only onto such road and shall have no
irimediate access onto any public street, except in such
case in which the subdivider in accordance with Section
18-36(h) (waiver request) demonstrates to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Commission that due to existing
development, topography, or other physical consideration
as distinguished from a special privilege or convenience,
alternative access would alleviate a clearly demon-
strable danger of significant degradation to the envir-
onment of the site or adjacent properties.
Mr. Gale, representing the applicant, addressed the Commission.
Mr. Gould entered the meeting at this point.
Mr. Gale stated that although this was not a family division,
it was close, with the back lot going to Ms. Adcock's grandson.
He stated that it was his understanding that a waiver was needed
for the entrance onto the private road. He added it would be a
hardship for the applicant to have to use the entrance that is
shown with the two lots. Mr. Gale indicated some confusion regarding
whether or not a waiver was needed for the lot size.
Mr.,Bowerman explained if.the Commission did not grant the waiver
(of Section 18-36f), a minimum lot size of five acres for each
of the two lots would be required and the minimum lot size would
have to be waived in this case because .it is only a 2-lot division.
Mr. Gale said he understood that if the waiver is granted as
requested, the lot sizes could be approved "as is". Mr. Cogan
indicated this was his understanding also.

Mr. Bowerman asked for clarification regarding the "hardship"
which had been referred to.
Mr. Gale explained that if the applicant had to tie back into
the existing road a considerable distance would be involved
and a stream would have to be crossed. He added this would
have a negative environmental impact.
Ms. Scala explained the rationale behind not requiring five -acre
lots stating that if three lots are on a private road, the
Highway Department could possibly take over care of the road
at some time, but with only two lots, the Highway Department
would not take over care of the road even if the lots were five
acres, thus there was no reason for requiring five -acre lots.
There being no public comment, the matter was placed before the
Commission.
Mr. Skove and Ms. Diehl indicated they would be in favor of
the waiver.
Mr. Cogan indicated he would be in favor of the waiver because
of negative environmental impact involved if the applicant had
to tie back into the existing road.
In response to Mr. Bowerman's question as to whether any kind of
1 precedent would be set if this waiver were granted, Ms. Scala
responded that each case is different and the Commission could
deal with these on a case -by -case basis.
Mr. Cogan agreed that these matters would have to be dealt with
on an individual basis because of the technical aspects involved.
He added that he had no hesitancy in granting the waiver in this
case since he could see a reason written into the Ordinance.
Mr. Skove moved that the Mamie Adcock Final Plat be approved
subject to the following conditions and with approval of a waiver
of Section 18-36f:
1. The following conditions must be met prior to signing
the final plat:
a. County Engineer approval of provision for runoff
control, if deemed necessary;
b. Virginia Department of Highways & Transportation
approval of entrance.
Ms. Diehl seconded the motion which was unanimously approved.
FEDERAL EXPRESS AND RETAIL OFFICE BUILDINGS SITE PLAN - Located
on the east side of Route 29 North, on the south side of the South
Fork of the Rivanna River. Proposal to locate a one story 24,500 sq. ft.
building comprised of 14,000 square foot warehouse area, 7,500 square

by 169 parking spaces on a 9.934 acre parcel.' Zoned HC, Highway
Commercial. Tax Map 45B1-6, Parcel 1B. Charlottesville
Magisterial District.
Ms. Joseph gave the staff report. She added the applicant was
reluctant to changethe design of the entry because he was not
sure what the Commission and Highway Department would accept.
Mr. Bowerman indicated confusion regarding the cul-de-sac and
the Highway Department's proposal.
Ms. Joseph explained the radii being proposed by the Highway
Department was larger than that proposed by the applicant.
She added the Highway Department desires a cul-de-sac on the
parcel in order to allow their snow plows to turn. She added
the Highway Department had indicated they could approve the
entrance as proposed, as a permanent entrance.
It was determined there was no cross -over on Rt. 29 at this point,
and that traffic would have to go north across the river and
turn..
Mr. Gould expressed concern over putting another entrance onto
Rt. 29 at this point, referring to the high speed at which this
highway is travelled.
Mr. Michel stated the Highway Department's proposal was an
improvement over the original since it allowed more room.
It was determined that if either of these two proposals was
approved, the cul-de-sac would not be built.
Ms. Joseph confirmed that she was recommending deferral of this
proposal because she felt there were many problems that still
needed to be worked out.
The Chairman invited applicant comment.
Mr. A.F. Edwards, representing the applicant, addressed the
Commission. He stated that, with the exception of Condition No. 1
(Virginia Department of Highways & Transportation approval of
service road design and entrance to Route 29N.), he did not feel
any of the other conditions of staff created any problems that
would call for deferral. He added the developer would prefer
the Highway Department's proposal for the entrance (rather than
the cul-de-sac approved by the Board). He added that he felt
the entrance would mostly be used for ingress since once the
service road was built, it would be used for egress. in relation
to the pond, Mr. Edwards felt the applicant's proposal would
improve this situation rather than aggravate it since a larger
pipe would be installed. He stated the Fire Officer had given
verbal approval of the hydrant location.

October 23, 1984 Page 5
Mr. Wendall Wood, the applicant, addressed the Commission. He
emphasized the proposed entrance was the Highway Department's
recommendation. He felt the proposal was better for ingress
and egress onto the property than trying to funnel all the
traffic from the existing cross -over onto land that is only
180 feet deep. He stated it was a distance of approximately
1,000 feet from the cross -over and had a 1/4 mile sight
distance.
There being no public comment, the matter was placed before
the Commission.
Mr. Bowerman asked for comment from Mr. Echols (Highway Department).
Mr. Echols addressed the Commission. He explained that when the
service road was discussed, most interest was at the Real Estate
III end, and a termination point was chosen with a cul-de-sal to
bring traffic back up to the Hilton cross -over. When this site
plan was considered, it was decided for circulation purposes
for the whole service road, that having an entrance at this
point that would allow ingress and northbound egress would
help with the traffic along this service road without making
all traffic go back up to the cross -over. He stated a southbound
cross -over would probably never be constructed at this point.
He said one may eventually be built at Rt. 643. He added that
a project is planned (within 1 or 2 years) to re -do the bridge
on the southbound lane over the river and the cross -over that
is currently closed will be re -done at that time. In response
to Ms. Diehl's inquiry, Mr. Echols stated the Highway Department's
top priority was to keep the traffic on Rt. 29N as unimpeded
as possible. In regard to the tree planting, Mr. Echols said
it should be insured that they were placed in such a way as
not to interfere with sight distance.
It was determined the Highway Department was proposing a 200 foot
turn lane and a 200 foot taper.
Mr. Cogan stated that at some point a service road had been
proposed to get traffic off Rt. 29N, but it now seems that
no one wants to build this road, either individually or jointly.
He indicated he would not be in favor of granting an entrance
onto 29.for this applicant since a former applicant (Floor
Fashions) had been denied such an entrance. He added it was
his feeling that elimination of the cul-de-sac would not make
any noticeable difference in the traffic and that allowing
this entrance would be defeating the purpose of the service
road.
Mr. Michel indicated his agreement with Mr. Cogan and stated he
would not be in favor of an entrance, with or without a cross -over.
Mr. Wilkerson agreed.
October 23, 1984

The Chairman invited comment from Mr. Elrod, .County Engineer,
regarding the pond and.erosion problems.
Mr. Elrod indicated he had not received sufficient information
yet. He confirmed that a detention basin was not needed..
Mr. Bowerman stated his feeling that it seemed to be the
consensus of the Commission to stay with the approved service
road, adding that no one seemed to be in favor of a second
entrance.
In response to Mr. Bowerman's inquiry, it was determined that
the Industrial Waste Ordinance dealt with what materials were
allowed in public sewers.
Mr. Bowerman again stated that it.was the consensus of the
Commission that the design standard for the service road be
left in tact with the cul-de-sac, and that as many of the conditions
of staff as listed in the staff report be completed before action
is taken on this matter.
Mr. Wood stated he was under a time restraint with. Federal. Express
and would like to be able to start construction as soon as
possible.
Ms..Diehl moved that the Federal Express and Retail Office Buildings
Site Plan be deferred indefinitely until further.information is
furnished to staff.
Mr. Gould seconded the motion which was unanimously approved.
.Lr. Bowerman explained to the applicant that this meant the matter
was deferred until such a time as the staff is satisfied that the
conditions have been met, and it will be reviewed by the Commission
at that time for approval or denial. He again stated it was the
clear desire of the Commission that only one entrance serve the site,
i.e. the existing one at the cross -over, and the other end be a
cul-de-sac as originally approved by the Board..
FALL FIELDS PRELIMINARY PLAT.- Located approximately 1.5 miles
northwest of Route 20 on the east side of Route 649 and adjacent
to the west bank of the North Fork of the Rivanna River. Proposal
to locate 8-five (5.0) acre lots on a 110.4 acre parcel, leaving
70.4 acres residue. Zoned RA, Rural Areas, granted special
use permit SP-84-38. Tax Map.47, Parcel 8. Rivanna Magisterial
District.
Ms. McCulley gave the staff report. She added that although this
matter will be deferred until October 30, she was seeking comments
from the Commission, particularly in regard to the residue which
could, at some future time, become Lot 9.
October 23, 1984 Page 7
Ms. McCulley confirmed that the applicant was not proposing nine
lots, and that the residue piece was proposed for use as a bridle
path and other common easements for the enjoyment of the other
lots. She confirmed that a special use permit would be required if
the residue acreage was ever proposed for further subdivision.
Mr. Payne explained that "parcels" which are physically seperate
from the other lots are difficult to keep track of, and that at some
point in the future they have typically been viewed as seperate
parcels. He further explained that since these are zoned RA, there
is actually no such thing as common area or a cluster subdivision.
Mr. Bowerman asked Mr. Payne if this could be approved without.
an amendment to the special use permit.
Mr.. Payne responded that he had not considered this -question, but
he felt that determination was up to the Commission. He added
the Commission would need to determine what the essential
elements of the special use permit are. Mr. Payne said he felt
problems could occur in the future if an owner of one of these
"seperate parcels" decides the land is unuseable because it is
cut off from the other parcels, so he sells the parcel. Mr. Payne
stated further that he felt subdivision plats should depict all
lots, including residue parcels, though historically the Commission
has not required a residue of this size to be depicted. He
added that while he felt that to be a reasonable rule, it con-
ceivably could lead to these seperate parcels being ignored during
consideration of such proposals.
In response to Ms. Diehl's inquiry as to how this proposal differed
from the original (for the special use permit), it was determined
the road alignment was different, having been revised due to steep
grades, and the residue parcel was different.
Mr. Bowerman invited applicant comment.
Mr. James Johnston, the applicant, addressed the Commission. He
stated the new road alignment was preferable to the previous
proposal. He also explained that what the Commission was con-
sidering as residue was actually the farm which he still occupies.
He emphasized that he did not consider this as residue since
all of it is part of the farm and not a part of the subdivision.
He said the so-called Lot.9 was not a part of the farm that was
ever intended for sale, but when the Commission had required
that the size of the lots be expanded, the current revisions
had resulted. He indicated he did not feel it was right that
anyone could require him to sell more of his land than the
law requires, but that he had tried to cooperate and meet
all the requirements.
Mr. Bowerman determined, and Mr. Johnston confirmed, that Mr.
Johnston felt there was only one piece of residue, the farm itself, and
.- the other areas indicated as residue are all contiguous to this
farm parcel because they are all connected.

There being no public comment, the matter was placed before the
Commission.
Mr. Bowerman asked Mr. Payne if it would be possible for the
record to show clearly, in terms of riparian rights and
showing all the residue essentially connected, that the residue
parcel in question was all one piece, even though one section
seemed to be seperate. He asked if this would be a valid argument
in terms of the question of the possible future sale or subdivision
of.this parcel..
Mr. Payne replied he could still see the possiblity of problems
occuring..
Referring to the proposed private road, Mr. Cogan pointed out
that the applicant had enlarged the lots so that he could have a
private road, and now the County Engineer has indicated that a
public road would be.preferable. He invited comments from fir.
Elrod, County Engineer.
Mr. Elrod stated he had not finished reviewing the matter, but
he was concerned that the .applicant had indicated the desire to
use a gravel road and the Ordinance clearly requires that a
road, public or private, be paved if it serves this many lots,
and also because of the steep grade of the road in some places.
He felt it would not be of any greater detriment to the envir-
onment if it were a public road. He stated the width -difference
was only four feet.
In response to Mr. Michel's inquiry, it was determined that.the
special use permit had given approval for the subdivision but
not for a private road, as that was not an issue at the time.
Ms. McCulley stated the special.use permit had shown the road
to be a private one.
Mr. Bowerman stated, and Mr. Michel agreed, that he would like
to see the special use permit amended so as to deal with the
possible future development of the residue parcel.
Mr. Cogan stated his feeling that somewhere along this process,
the applicant, through no fault of his own, had misinterpreted
what was originally approved, and working under a.miscon-
ception, had enlarged the lots to .five acres thinking.this was
what was required for approval of a private road. He added
that since the road would have to be paved in any case, he would
be willing to approve a private road. He also felt that an adjust-
ment of the lines on Lot 8 would satisfy any anxiety.about
future development.
Mr. Michel agreed that the Commission had probably given the
applicant this impression.
91
October 23, 1984 Page 9
Mr. Cogan moved that the Fall Fields Preliminary Plat be deferred
until October 30.
Mr. Wilkerson seconded the motion which was unanimously approved.
The meeting recessed at 9:10 p.m.; reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
THE COMMONS AT GEORGETOWN SITE PLAN - Located southeast side of
Georgetown Road (Route 656) near the intersection of Hydraulic
Road .(Route 743) and Georgetown Road, adjacent to Georgetown
Court and Westgate Apartments. Proposal to locate 57.•units on
a ±6.1 acre parcel. Zoned R-15, Residential. Tax Map 60A1,
Parcels 29, 35, 33, and 28. Charlottesville Magisterial District.
Ms. McCulley gave the staff report.
In response to Mr. Payne's inquiry regarding the "first phase"
referred to in staff recommendation No. 2, Ms. McCulley confirmed
this meant the first phase chronologically.
Mr. Payne commented that he believed Common Law already gives
the right of access to surviving.family members to a cemetary,
even if it is not a matter of record. He added it was not possible
to "cut-off" usage of a cemetary.
Mr. Bowerman invited comment from the applicant.
Mr. Charles Rotgin, representing the applicant, addressed the
Commission. Mr. Rotgin gave a brief history of the land and
emphasized that the developers have greatly reduced the density
from what it was in the beginning (going from 450 units.to 193
units). He stated the plan was.based on the developer's con-
ception of the current housing market.
Referring to Mr. Rotgin's mention of this being an alternative
site plan based upon market perception, Mr..Payne pointed out
that while it was possible to have two site plans, only one
could be developed and when one is activated, the other is
abandoned.
Mr. Stan Tatum addressed the commission. He indicated that while
most conditions of staff had been, or could be met, he showed
concern over the following areas. He questioned why sidewalks
would be required at this density when they have not been re-
quired in the past. He stated confusion as to what the Highway
Department was requiring in relation to the turn lanes and entrance
to Rt. 656. Mr. Tatum reviewed the other conditions of staff.
In response to Mr. Bowerman's question, Mr. -Tatum confirmed that
the proposed development would be townhouses for sale.
Referring to Mr. Tatum's question as to why some of the conditions
of staff were still being listed since he felt they had already
been taken care of, Mr. Michel pointed out that unless the
Commission has some sort of documentation on the matters, they
must remain on the list.

October 23, 1984 Page 10
Mr. Don Wagner, representing the applicant, addressed the
Commission. In relation to the cemetery, Mr. Wagner said he
would like to see some agreement that the property lines around
the cemetery would not be held -against the developers in trying
to meet set -back requirements. In regard to the Highway
Department's recommendation that 26' of pavement from the
center line of Rt. 656 to the curb be constructed along the
frontage of this property and -tie into the existing curb and
gutter at the Westgate property near. Rt. 743, Mr. Wagner stated
he had discussed this with Mr. Echols of the Highway Department
and understood that this figure was simply "out of a book"
and did not necessarily refer to this paticular :natter,
indicating -that it could possibly be changed. Regarding the
taper lanes, Mr. Wagner felt the developers' proposal more
than met what was required. In'regard to storm water detention,
Mr. Wagner stated that it had been agreed by the developers
some time ago.that when this land was developed the storm
pipewhich is upstream from Solomon Road would be increased
from 24" to 36" and it had also been agreed that the piece
of pipe that passes.under Solomon Road would have an additional
pipe placed on top of it. He emphasized that the developers
had already agreed to do this. However, Mr. Wagner said the
developers did have a problem with the suggestion that some
sort of storm water detention be -installed on this property,
since a lot of land.would be lost in the construction of such
a system, making the entire project economically unfeasible.
He indicated if this Happened, the developers would be forced
to build apartments on this property at some time in the future
with a much. higher density than the proposed townhouses.
Mr. Wagner continued stating that it had been.pointed out at a
previous meeting that if Solomon Court were sold, the current
proposal would be void. To prevent this from happening, the
developers of the Commons at Georgetown agreed to pay a pro rata
share for the downstream improvements. He stated they were still
willing to pay this money, which was approximately $4,715. for
these downstream improvements, but the developers are not in a
position to accept storm water detention.
Mr. Rotgin summed up the applicants' proposal be stating the
areas of most concern were: (1) Stormwater detention; (2) Sidewalk
requirements; (3) Highway Department requirements for turn lanes
and frontage improvements; and (4) Cemetery.
There being no public comment, the.matter was placed before the
Commission.
Mr. Bowerman asked for comment from Mr. Elrod, County Engineer.
Mr. Elrod addressed the Commission and stated that when the Urban
Drainage Study was being done, the possibility of providing
regional -type detention basins or drainage improvements was
given consideration with the requirement that developers would
contribute to.those projects. He said there were two possible
ways of handling this: (1) Either the Board would have to
99
October 23, 1984 Page 11
allocate the money for stream improvements or detention basins
in advance (before problems actually exist) and then try to recover
that money as developers develop the areas; or (2) Not to undertake
these projects until after all the development is complete,
possibly allowing the stream to be degraded to some extent. Mr.
Elrod said a decision as to which of these options should be
adopted has not been made. He said this particular proposal has not
been reviewed because there have been no complaints since develop-
ment has not yet occurred. He stated he has witnessed some prob-
lems but the residents of the area have not perceived them yet.
Regarding the developers' offer to contribute an amount to the
downstream improvements, Mr. Elrod stated such a project does not
actually exist at this time, creating the problem of what to do
with the money that the developers are offering. Mr. Elrod
added that the figure he had referred to in relation to such
a project was speculative. He added he was not against such a
contribution from the developers, but he pointed out that he
thought they would be the only ones contributing to this project
since they are the last to develop this area, indicating he did
not know where the rest of the money would come from.
In response to Mr. Bowerman's question regarding whether or not
the developers had adequately re -directed drainage from the
Bennington Woods area, Mr. Elrod indicated he had not finished
reviewing the proposal.
Mr. Elrod.stated he felt before money was accepted for this
project, it should be determined if the Board was willing to
provide the rest of the money.
In response to Mr. Cogan's inquiry, Mr. Elrod stated there would
definitely be future problems with the stream if a stormwater
detention structure was not installed, or some mechanism was
not provided for downstream improvements.
Mr. Bowerman asked if an off -site contribution was accepted,
could the money be held in some way. Mr. Payne responded that
this -was probably not possible since the statutes say there
must be an approved plan.
Mr. Elrod confirmed that he had recommended on -site stormwater
detention because there is currently no project for downstream
improvements.
The Commission indicated favor with the idea of a monetary
contribution by the developer. Mr. Payne again pointed out
that money could not be held without an actual plan, since a
plan was needed in order to determine the exact amount needed.
Mr. Bowerman suggested that a letter from the developers be
obtained stating if a plan for downstream improvements was
ever adopted, they would contribute a certain amount, said letter
being binding only if the County adopts a plan for such improve-
ments. Mr. Bowerman felt this would at least show the developers'
intent.
94
October 23, 1984 Page 12
Mr. Payne stated this would better than nothing, but he questioned
the enforceability of such a contract.
Mr. Bowerman.asked for Highway Department comments regarding the
applicants',proposal for improvements to Georgetown Road.
Mr. Echols,.of the Highway Department, addressed the Commission
and stated that in order to meet the requirement for having a 'eft
turn lane, the road would have to be widened quite a bit. He
felt the developers' plan did not allow enough transition to
accomplish this.
Mr. Michel stated he was hesitant to discuss the Highway
Department's expertise on a road that is intolerable.
Regarding the 2:y' right-of-way requirement, turn lane requirements,
etc., it was the determination of the Commission that these matters
be left up to the Highway Department.
Regarding the sidewalk issue, it was determined these were
privately owned.
Ms. Diehl stated her feeling that by changing from apartments to
townhouses for sale, a different type of clientele would be
attracted, meaning more young children would be using these walks.
She felt that sortie sort of walkways would be a good addition to
the development. In response to ?pis. Diehl's inquiry, Ms. McCulley
stated staff had envisioned concrete walks.
The County Engineer indicated he would only approve concrete walks
it it were up to him. The Commissioners indicated they were i.n
favor of concrete also.
It was determined concrete or asphalt would be acceptable.
The applicants stated they had no objections.
Regarding the cemetery, it was determined to simply leave it as
is and show an access on the plat.
The following amendments to staff's recommendations were noted:
(1) 1(c) would be amended to deal with the improvements to
drainage pipes; (2) 1(d) would have the words "construction to be
approved by County Engineer" added; (3) l (1) , dealing with a
monetary contribution by the developer for drainage improvements,
would .be added; and (4) 2(c) would be changed to read "Record
easement to cemetary on plat."
Mr. Cogan moved that the Commons at Georgetown Site Plan be approved.
subject to the following conditions:
1. A building permit will not be issued for any phase until
the following conditions have been met:
