All members were present at this meeting.
Mrs. Smith reported that the committee from the
Council of Social Agencies might not attend the meeting
due to lack of sufficient data, but that they would like
to meet with us when they could give us the necessary
information about a proposed home for the chronically ill.
Mrs. Smith read the Planning Notes regarding the
abendmeht to the County Planning Commission Enabling Act of
1936 which provided that "The Commission shall consist of not
less than five nor more than fifteen persons, one of whom

#2. In discussing the different types of zoning necessary in
Albemarle County, Mr. T. 0. Scott told us that in Wisconsin they had
zoned against this type of land simply by refusing to build roads
into these sections and not having schools available far the children,
so the farmers were finally forced to move out of these neighborhoods.
Mr. Scott figured that in these poorer land areas, a man could make
a living off of three hundred acres of woodland whereas he could
not support himself by farming the same land.
Mr. Scott also told us that in some counties near large
cities, the commercial hog farms had become quite a nuisance, hence
the reason for Loudomn County zoning against such farms.
Mr. Scott said he would contact Dr. Young of V. P. I. and see
if he could meet with us at our meeting of April 25rd, and discuss
the land classification.
Mrs. Nunnally was instructed to contact Mr. Ambler about the
Sate Highway Department laws concerning advertising signs as well
as the number of feetvof right of ways owned by the state on each
side of highways.
Each member of the commission was asked to make up a suggested
cutline for the necessary classification of zoning in this county
and bring it to .the r,#p !i1 25rd meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Secretary.
Notes Mr. Scottreported Dr. Young not available but Mr. Farrar
Shelton would attedd the meeting in his place.
Mr. Amblerts office reported that the right of ways vary
along each highway - but along Route 250 West the right of way
extends 160 feetor 80 feet on each side of highway. This graduates
down - but when a highwa y is rebuitt or widened, more footage is
obtained for this purpose. The highway department does not allow
any signs on rights of ways. They do give permits for advertising
signs in sight of highways.
