Acre-e-A-4 1 '144---- On October 6, 1977 the Board of Supervisors requested the W ' Ir' Planning Commission to review jurisdictional areas for conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. On November 1, ;4-A- 1977 the Planning Commission made a number of recommendations to the Board of Supervisors that the Albemarle County Service Authority' s jurisdictional areas be made to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. The BOS accepted these recommendations on November 21, 1977 . Recommendations for Scottsville included the following: - Expansion of the KDA proposal to incorporate the shopping center and surrounding commercial area into the jurisdictional area. (The staff report is not specific whether this recommendation was for water service or sewer service or both. In the same staff report a statement is made that "The Ivy Area is the only area where staff can support water only service" . Therefore, it appears that this is a recommendation for both water and sewer service to be provided to the shopping center and the surrounding commercial areas. (See Attachment A) On August 27 , 1980 the BOS made changes to the ACSA jurisdictional map and included the following in Scottsville (See Attachment B) : - Properties from the Scottsville treatment plant to the border of the Scottsville Growth Area along 726 are to be included in the water only district. (It is not clear if this amendment included those properties bordering the growth area in the water service area or just those properties along Rt. 726 from the treatment plant to the beginning of the Growth Area (See Attachment B) . Even though not stated it appears that the shopping center remained in a water and sewer service area. Attached find a draft memo with a recommendation to adopt a resolution of Intent to amend a note on the Jurisdictional Map to read "Where a narrow service designation follows a roadway on either or both sides of the roadway, the service so denoted may be granted to parcels contiguous to the narrow service designation line on that side, provided said parcels have been recorded prior to adoption of this map" (See attachment C) . The attached draft letter is the only documentation concerning this amendment that I could locate in the file. Search of BOS of Supervisors minutes near April-May of 1982 do not indicate this resolution was adopted. I will follow up with Bob and Bill Brent to see if they can provide more information.©,, _100 Qv4 i C1040 ,0 In 1983 the BOS amended the ACSA jurisdictional areas to conform with recent revisions of the Comprehensive Plan. Recommendations for Scottsville ye- as followed (See Attachment D) : - Provide for water to existing structures contiguous to waterline. - Expand service area for water and sewer to conform with new growth area boundaries. - Delete service areas outside the existing growth area except for Scottsville Shopping Center and commercial uses and uses in need of fire protection along Route 6. In conversation with Jan and Ron it was stated that the main reason that the shopping center was left in a water and sewer designation was because it ' s unique situation. Water only designation was provided to lots 130-64 through 65 to ensure that water would be available to the fire department if the adjacent commercial, especially the lumber company caught on fire. On February 1, 1989 during a Comprehensive Plan worksession with the BOS, John Horne stated that there had been interest by business owners surrounding the shopping center in participating in the cost of extending service to the shopping center. Mr. Lindstrom asked staff' s recommendation concerning considering sewer into the watershed area. Mr. Horne stated that it was looked upon negatively in the past. Attached minutes should be reviewed (See Attachment E) . ` 4Acr S\ 1 S �1/ OF A L9,�®.� -r "G ov ,�y ,� ��N 011, : . .42 ASAdeiser,i) Planning Department 804/29E•S323 414 EAST MARKET STREET CHARLOTTESVILLE.

RE: ALBEMARLE COUNTY SERVICE AUTHORITY'S JURISDICTIONAL AREAS' COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION DATE: November 9, 1977 The Albemarle County Planning Commission at their meeting on Tuesday, November 1, 1977 recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the Albemarle County Service Authority's jurisdictional areas be made to comply with the Comprehensive Plan with adjustments as outlined in ;:he staff's recommendations, provided no area or property which is currently receiving service shall be abandoned. The Staff's recommendations are as follows: (Map to be presented at Board meeting) Urban Area - Staff recommends a water/sewer service area which complies with the Compre- hensive Plan with the addition of the Pantops area. Camelot - Staff recommends a water/sewer service area which complies with the Comprehensive Plan with the addition of the University Village RPN area and a limited area around the existing water main. Crozet - Staff recommends a reduction of the existing service area to generally comply with the proposed community and to include the high school and existing water treatment plant (staff opinion is that an error was made on the KDA map) . Ivy - Staff recommends a water-only service area encompassing existing small lot develop- ment, subdivisions with a history of ground water problems and subdivision with central water systems. Scottsville - Staff recommends expansion of the KDA proposal to incorporate the shopping center and adjacent commercial zoning. ja/ • November 1, 1977 STAFF REPORT: Discussion: Service Area Boundaries of the Albemarle County Service Authority The Board of Supervisors has requested the Planning Staff and the Planning Commission to review the jurisdictional boundaries ( service areas ) of the Albemarle County Service Authority to determine if these service areas conform with the proposals of the Comprehensive Plan. The expansion of water facilities to areas outside the present jurisdictional boundaries should be discussed. Findings are to be communicated to the Board prior to November 16, 1977, at which time the matter will again be discussed in reference to the rezoning request of Liberia Development Corporation. Comprehensive Plan Water and sewer improvements are discussed ( pages 39 and 40 ) however, only sewer service area proposals are mapped in the Plan ( map 20 ) . In reference to the Crozet interceptor, the Plan states: "It is strongly recommended that access to the interceptor between the force main section east of Crozet and the Urban Area boundary be either prohibited or severely restricted during the plan period. The absence of such prohibition or restriction will permit scattered strip residential develop- ment to occur along the entire western 250 corridor and Ivy Area which will result in an unplanned linear extension of the Urban Area which is not desired by the County." The existing service areas generally encompass greater areas than recommended by the Comprehensive Plan and would in some cases service areas proposed to remain rural. Staff is reluctant to endorse either water or sewer service areas where rural densities are proposed to be maintained because of pressures for upzoning to higher densities. Expansion of Water Facilities The staff is reluctant to endorse expansion of water facilities outside of existing service areas due to increased pressure for higher density zoning. ( The Subdivision Ordinance provides a minimum lot area of 40,000 square feet with one utility. ) While provision of fire protection and public water to two-acre lots would be advant- ageous, staff opinion is that constant resistance° to more intensive zoning may be an optimistic outlook. T_he Ivy Area_is the only area where staff can support a. water-only service area due to existing facilities in that area and a history of groundwater problems. The Albemarle County Service Authority has indicated no desire to have separate water and water-and-sewer service areas. Staff Recommendations: (Map to be presented at Public Hearing) Urban Area - Staff recommends a water/sewer service area which complies with the Compre- hensive Plan with the addition of the Pantops area. Camelot - Staff recommends a water/sewer service area which complies with the Comprehensive Plan with the addition of the University Village RPN area and a limited area around the existing water main. LcO'-\'. Crozet - Staff recommends a reduction of the existing service area to generally comply with the proposed community and to include the high school and existing water treatment plant ( staff opinion is that an error was made on the KDA map ) . Ivy - Staff recommends a water-only service area encompassing existing small lot develop- ment, subdivisions with a history of ground water problems and subdivisions with central water systems. ` Scottsville - Staff recommends expansion of the KDA proposal to incorporate the shopping center and adjacent commercial zoning. Staff would note that the Albemarle County Service Authority is opposed to any reduction in existing service areas. In fact, the Service Authority would prefer to expand its service area south of Charlottesville in an east-west fashion. Staff recommendations are based on the Comprehensive Plan and existing facilities without the benefit of input from Task Force Committees in regard to land use revisions. Augu,at 27__ __80 („ujourned from August 20, 1980) 4i-47X.INYNINe" IIi Mr. Tucker said the last area to be discussed is in Scottsville. Valmont is connected to the existing water line to get water for cattle. Miss Nash said the owner of this land ilhas recently cut off a couple of small parcels. Mr. Tucker said that was correct, but the ; water line runs up Route 726 right in the road and on the south side of this property, the 1 water line is in the right of way. Mr. Fisher said the issue is there is a farm that would like to continue receiving water and also the property which has been subdivided, but not ! indicate that the Board intends to have a major subdivision on that property. He said it ! sounds as though a thin line is needed along the road like that line the Board just put on " other areas. Miss Nash then offered motion to draw a thin blue line on properties on Route 726 from the Scottsville treatment plant to the border of the Scottsville growth area indicatin properties fronting on said road are includea in the water only dtrict. II Mr. St. John said he felt that the Board was placing more emphasis on the impact water will have on a court decision than is needed. In other counties, water service is extended to wherever people can be served. Mr. St. John said he did not think a judge would rule that just because water lines are in place that all of the areas where those water lines are in the ground are subject to judicial rezoning to a higher density. The motion was seconded by Mr. Henley and carried by the following recorded vote: ( AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. .! Mr. Fisher said the only decision to be made is on the Berta Jones property. The Board I, will be reviewing the final plat for this property next week. Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta, seconded by Mr. Lindstrom, to defer any final actions on both of these amendements until September 10. The motion carried by the following recorded vote: i AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. II NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 5. Resolution: Ivy Creek Natural Area. Mr. Agnor said the Board has ( already approved participation with the City to apply for State Commission of Outdoor Recreation monies to expand the Ivy Creek Natural Area. The State is asking that the approval Ibe put into a formal resolution form. Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom to adopt the I1following resolution: JOINT RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE EXPANSION OF THE IVY CREEK NATURAL AREA AND APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. II WHEREAS the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation provides funds to assist political subdivisions of the Commonwealth of Virginia in acquiring and developing open space and park lands; and WHEREAS there is an urgent need within the Charlottesville-Albemarle li community to preserve open space lands for present and future recreational use; and 1 - WHEREAS the property adjoining the Ivy Creek Natural Area, containing approximately 81.5 acres, adjacent to State Route 743 in Albemarle County, is deemed to be of high priority for acquisition and preservation as open space land; and WHEREAS in order to attain fundingassistance for this project it is r I required that each political subdivision provide a proportionate share of the cost thereof; and WHEREAS the proposed project would be funded in the ratio of fifty percent from the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation, 9.23 percent from the County of Albemarle, and 9.23 percent from the City of Charlottes- 1 ville, and 31.54 percent as a gift of the owner; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT JOINTLY RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Albemarle and the Council of the City of Charlottesville that the County Executive and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to 1 furnish such information and materials as may be necessary to make appl'cation I, to the appropriate State and Federal agencies for funding of the acquisition II of the aforesaid property; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors and City Council 11 give their assurances that the funds required as the respective proportionate i shares of the County and City in the funding of such projects will be pro- vided, up to a maximum 37,750 dollars from each jurisdiction; and BE IT FURTHER RFSOLVED that the County of Albemarle and City of Charlottes- ville will abide by all applicable State and Federal regulations governing the expenditure of such funds to be provided by the Virginia Commission of 1 Outdoor Recreation; and ! BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service of the United States Department of the Interior and the Virginia 11 Commission of Outdoor Recreation are respectfully requested to assist in the prompt approval and funding of the acquisition for the expansion of the Ivy Creek Natural Area, in order to provide the benefits of increased permanent open space in the vicinity of the Rivanna Reservoir for the benefit of the citizens of the County of Albemarle and the City of Charlottesville. 1 i!

CROZET • Areas north of the current growth area have been broken down into water and sewer service for existing small lot development experiencing septic field failure with preliminary plans for sewer connections; areas presently being served by water only; areas contiguous to an existing waterline for existing structures only; areas which are undeveloped but proposed for sewer connection and may be permitted one residential connection _per parcel (new category) . o Service area for existing growth area is unchanged, except for commercial area south of Route 250 West, which is water only. o Area south and southwest of growth area deletes utility service except for existing structures contiguous to existing waterline . IVY o Water service only to those areas currently being served or having approved plans for water and those parcels with existing structures contiguous to existing waterlines. o Spring Hill Subdivision and Ivy Creek Farm (Winery) have been maintained in the service area because of their request for inclusion, even though they are currently not using public water. SCOTTSVILLE o Provides for water to existing structures contiguous to waterline. o Expands service area for water and sewer to conform with new growth area boundaries. e Deletes service to areas outside of existing growth area except for Scottsville Shopping Center and commercial uses and uses in need of fire protection along Route 6 . 210 February 1, 1989 (Afternoon Adjourned Meeting) (Page 2) Staff indicated that the City of Charlottesville has been presented this greenway plan as well, and they are also reviewing their Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Bowie said he would like to see the plan presented today carried forward in some way. He said he was certainly interested in what could be done in this area. Mrs. Cooke said that she and Mr. Lindstrom had mentioned this idea several weeks ago in reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, particularly the idea of walking trails and bike paths. She said the County was in need of those, and she commended the students for an excellent presentation with timely ideas. Mr. Bain asked what staff would have to do to implement adding a scenic overlay district, since the Board is doing the Comprehensive Plan review now. Mr. Horne said the scenic overlay district as it is currently constituted is probably not the mechanism to accomplish this plan. One of the elements staff is working on now is an open space plan for the urban areas. This open space and other drainageways through the urban areas are being considered. He said it would not be a tremendous amount of additional work above the open space plan. However, there would need to be some thought given to the regulatory mechanism. In terms of timing of the current Comprehensive Plan Revision, Mr. Horne did not think it is practical to include something of this scale at this time. Mr. Bowie said it would be difficult to make a decision right now, "but he would not like to see the idea slip. He hopes that the concept can be general- ized into the open space plan, realizing that it will take some time to imple- ment the details. Mr. Lindstrom asked Professor Klein how much of the presentation would be available for future use. Professor Klein said there would be a record copy available. Agenda Item No. 2. Work Session: Comprehensive Plan. The work session began on Page 245 with the Community of Scottsville. Mr. Horne said the major recommendation for Scottsville was the change from village designation to community on the assumption of the long term capability of extending utilities from the town into the growth areas. On Page 246 under "Public Water and Sewer", staff said that Mr. Bill Brent, Director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, had recommended a change in wording. In that paragraph the word "significant" should be re- placed with "some". Mr. Brent said the sanitary sewage treatment lagoon in Scottsville does not meet the secondary treatment standards of the State Water Control Board. However, it is eligible for an exemption from secondary treatment standards which was applied for over two years ago. The State Water Control Board has never responded. The informal response, is that it will be exempted. If it is not, there will be a necessity for a treatment facility. Mr. Brent felt the easiest thing to do is to relocate the abandoned treatment plant at Brownsville. The lagoon will probably service another hundred houses, and Mr. Brent said he did not consider that "significant" expansion capability. He said certain manufacturing companies could not be handled, such as a paint manufacturer. Mr. Brent said no cost estimate had been worked up to relocate the Brownsville plant, but his estimate would be $100,000 to $200,000. Mr. Horne said that water extension to the Scottsville shopping canter would cost just under one-half millicn dollars. Water extension from the shopping center to the Stoney Point Subdivision and the designated industrial area of Scottsville would be approximately $192,000. Sewer extension from the town of Scottsville to the shopping center is $170,640. Finally, sewer _ extension to Stoney Point and the industrial area would cost approximately $386,000. That would be a total of $1.25 million for the entire project. (Mr. Perkins arrived at 2:14 P.M. ) Mr. Horne said there has been some interest by businesses in and around the shopping center area in participation in cost of extending utilities to February 1, 1'o. (Afternoon Adjourned Meeting) 2 1 (Page 3) the shopping center. He does not know to what level that would be. It would cost about $650,000 to get water and sewer to the shopping center. Mr. Lindstrom asked staff's recommendation concerning extending sewer — service into a watershed area. Mr. Horne said it has been negatively looked upon in the past. Mr. Way said the situation at Scottsville is like the question of the chicken and the egg. On one hand, there are people in the town of Scottsville who want to stimulate growth. The reason the industrial area cannot expand is because there are no utilities. On the other hand, there is a hesitancy to extend utilities because there is no development. He said there have been a number of businesses which have attempted to locate there. Having the utilities would help with that expansion he feels. A community which already has public water and sewer facilities, is desirous of growing, and has the potential development would seem a logical place to extend utilities to help stimulate growth. Mr. Horne said the Board could decide that the growth of a particular area is important enough to override the normal caution of going into a watershed area, by doing something similar to what had been proposed in Crozet. Mr. Lindstrom said Crozet had existing sewer problems. He said there was a great deal of public investment there, and the problem is to be dealt with through the impoundment on Lickinghole Creek. Mr. Horne said he personally could not see much difference between the Crozet situation and Scottsville. He said the Planning Commission was not ready to make the determination that the boundaries in Scottsville should be expanded because there had not been much growth activity within its present boundaries. Mr. Way strongly feels that nothing will happen inside the boundaries until the utilities are in place. He said that is the whole problem. The area wants to grow, and the Board says it should grow, but there is no way to grow. Thirty to forty percent of the septic 'systems are leaking right now in the Scottsville area according to Mr. Way. That was a concern in Crozet, and the Board did something about it. But it seems all right for the septic systems to leak in Scottsville. The Lickinghole Creek impoundment will cost over $1 million to deal with the Crozet problem. In Scottsville, there is a shopping center which has been there fifteen ;years which is the only place anyone can buy anything, and the feeling seems to be to put off doing anything for Scottsville. Mr. Lindstrom said if it is critical that the shopping center be allowed to grow, it has to be done in a way that will take care of the run-off problem that will be created by expansion in the Totier Creek watershed area. Other- wise, the Board will have made a glaring exception with no justification. He asked staff to bring back to the Board a specific proposal with rationale for establishing any growth area in the watershed. He asked that staff think about the distinction of substantial private involvement in commercial devel- opment as a criteria for development outside the growth area. He said it is important to know what can be done to make the areas that the Board has determined should grow really work, in order :to take the pressure off areas where it is not desirable to have growth. Mr. Bowie said there was no mention of improvements to Route 6, and he felt that should be considered as a possible solution for traffic on Route 29 South if industrial development with utilities increases the Scottsville area. Mr. Horne summarized the Village of Ivy as being somewhat of a quandary to the Commission and the staff. As it is currently constituted, Ivy has very little vacant land remaining. The village boundaries were cut back to current — boundaries because Ivy lies in the South Fork' Rivanna watershed, and basically functions as a service center for the surrounding residential areas. It is in the Comprehensive Plan largely as a service area, not as a true growth area. He said the recommendations are largely from the existing Comprehensive Plan and basically deal with internal design issues. Mr. Lindstrom asked what the Planning Commission's rationale was for not deleting Ivy as a village when they discussed the Plan. Mr. Horne said it was because of the service area functions. There are some commercial uses there and there may be some additional limited commercial uses, and that really is the function of the village. The option is to drop back to rural area zoning from the village designation. 2 1 2 February 1, 1989 (Afternoon Adjourned Meeting) (Page 4) Mr. Lindstrom said it sounds like the language in the recommendations is such that it will never be translated into anything on the land use map as far as additional village service area. Mr. Horne said the Commission did not feel comfortable or feel it necessary to pick a spot designated for additional commercial use. They felt that it is not always necessary on a land use map to show every spot as long as there are parameters set. In a village this size, there are only so many places development can go. Mr. Lindstrom said he felt the effort in the past with Ivy was to recog- nize areas that had developed under old zoning and leave it at that. Mr. Bain said he concurred with that and did not want to encourage growth in that area. Mr. Horne said that with the number of people living in the Ivy area, there would probably be additional pressure on the Board to provide services. He felt this could be a convenient place to control the location of those. Mr. Ron Keeler, Chief of Planning, said that the zoning would not have to be changed in order to delete Ivy as a growth area in the Comprehensive Plan. It really no longer is a growth area because it is built out. Mr. Lindstrom said if the Board does not want to encourage any development there and does not want anything other than minor expansion of commercial development to serve the people already there, he does not see much effect in deleting it. Mr. Bowie said that while he previously stated he supported growth areas where the people want it, such as in Scottsville, it also does not make sense to have an area designated as a growth area where it can grow no more. The Board agreed that the Village of Ivy should be deleted as a designated growth area in the Comprehensive Plan. The Board recessed at 3:12 P.M. and reconvened at 3:20 P.M. with a discussion of the North Garden Village. Mr. Horne said the estimated cost from the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) to extend water is $3,177,960 and $2,439,960 for sewer, for a total of $5,617,920. An alternate would be the extension of the urban water system, decreasing the cost of water extension by about $200,000. He said the ACSA pointed out that there has been a limited amount of ;groundwater found in this area in the past. Therefore, the supply of water to a water system from central wells could be particularly problematic. Extension of the utilities from the urban system from the cost factor and the supply factor may be the wisest alternative if it is decided to supply utilities to the village. He said the Planning Commission's reasoning for the proposed, expansion of North Garden has been some indication from the development community that this area could be a viable market area for rural or village type, low density develop- ment. He said the recommendation for expansion of the village does not necessitate the extension of either central water or sewer. The Commission feels that some additional development can be handled under the existing VR zoning district. Even though the proposed development is double its present size, North Garden is still a very small area compared to the overall rural areas. It could be expanded with the use of individual septic systems and wells. Mr. Bain said he did not have a problem with expanding the boundaries for North Garden at the same densities, but he does have a problem when the report says that the area might have water problems. Mr. Brent said he was not familiar with individual wells in the area. He was relying on the Division of Mineral Resources' groundwater data. He said his understanding from the geologist is that the rock formation in that area is low-yielding. Mr. Bain said that he was concerned about the engineering report that there is a problem with groundwater, but there is also a surface water problem in his opinion. Mr. Brent said it is a difficult question. He said the State Water Control Board has established no stream criteria for this area and has left the County on its own. He said if there is the thought of a surface _ water reservoir, it probably would not be for a period of,;five to ten years. Without going into a detailed engineering analysis of the :flow, Mr. Brent said his observation is that there would not be the quantity of water there for a surface water impoundment to serve a village of this magnitude. March 15, 198 Ldjourned Afternoon Meeting) 3 3 9 (Page 1) An adjourned meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, was held on March 15, 1989, at 1:30 P.M. , Meeting Room #7, County Office Building, 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, Virginia. The meeting was adjourned from March 8, 1989. BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. Edward H. Bain, Jr. , Mr. F. R. Bowie, Mrs. Patricia H. Cooke (arrived at 2:07 P.M. ), Messrs. C. Timothy Lindstrom (arrived at 1:40 P.M. ), Walter F. Perkins and Peter T. Way. BOARD MEMBERS ABSENT: None. i OFFICERS PRESENT: Mr. Guy B. Agnor, Jr. , County Executive (arrived at 2: 15 P.M. ); and Mr. John T. P. Horne, Director of Planning and Community Development. Agenda Item No. 1. Call to Order. The meeting was called to order at 1:45 P.M. by the Chairman, Mr. Way. Mr. Way informed the Board that Mr. Agnor would be here momentarily, and Mrs. Cooke would be late. He said that the week of March 24 - 31, 1989, has been declared "Commun- ity Development Block Grant" week in recognition of the many achievements in the community through that program. Agenda Item No. 2. Work Session: Comprehensive Plan. The work session began with a discussion of the possible expansion of the proposed Scottsville Community. Mr. Wayne Cilimberg, Chief of Community Development, said staff had looked at three levels of development in this area. Regarding residential growth, staff feels that the area currently designated presents a good oppor- tunity for additional residential development on lots that are either undevel- oped or underdeveloped, especially if public water and/or sewer are provided. The second area staff considered was a community service designation. The combination of development in the town of Scottsville and expansion of the present shopping center would service the population that would be located <": here if this growth area built out. The last area staff considered was major `-' employment opportunities. The key to employment is public water and sewer availability. Staff did not look at relocating any employment centers. Mr. Cilimberg said staff's recommendation is to leave the boundaries of Scottsville as proposed in the updated Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Cilimberg added that a key factor in not recommending expansion of the Scottsville community boundaries is the nearby Totier Creek Watershed. Mr. Way said he concurs with staff's recommendation. Mr. Lindstrom pointed out that the public address system in Room 7 is not adequate for the public to hear what the Board is saying. He discovered that when he attended a meeting and sat in the audience and could not hear the speakers. He asked that staff get someone into take care of that problem. Mr. Way said if any Board members had items they wished to bring up for discussion within the Comprehensive Plan, those could be discussed before going on to individual citizen requests. He went on to say that one thing which he feels should be in the Plan is some statement concerning the County's Affirmative Action Plan. He said the City has a page related to that topic in its Plan, and he feels there should be a summary in the County's Comprehensive
