Max Kennedy Zoning Board of Appeals Albemarle County Office Building 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville , VA 22901 Dear Mr . Kennedy: This letter is to express our dismay at the request of Boars Head Enterprises to erect a freestanding sign on Route 250 West having a total of 64 square feet in replacement of the tasteful one now present which is already larger than the 18 square feet permitted on scenic byways. Route 250 West has been designated a scenic byway, and we urge you to reject this variance so that it may remain so for all travelers and residents to enjoy. This entrance to the Boars Head Inn is also the sole entrance to two residential communities, Ednam Village and Ednam Forest , whose residents strongly object to the commercialization of the entrance to their private homes. If the variance is granted, it will encourage other businesses, restaurants, motels, etc . who now have subdued signage in keeping with a scenic byway to follow suit and on what basis will their requests be rejected? Or if granted, of what worth is the scenic byway designation if it is to have its beauty disrupted by large billboards? The Boars Head Inn is a wonderful attraction for Albemarle County, and the Inn itself benefits from its locaton on a road granted the status of a scenic byway by preserving its beauty as well as its value. We maintain , however , that it is more than adequately advertised by its present signage , a signage in harmony with a scenic byway as well as the residences nearby. In addition , the Inn's location is clearly announced with markers already present on I-64, Route 29 as well as those on Route 250 . In the best interests of Albemarle County and its residents, we urge you to reject this variance . Sincerely yours, C� • ,te474 77- i, • • . , . .,;:- . ,.4 . ..„.:. • ,.?

SHORT 207 ROWLEDGE ROAD-EDNAM FOREST CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA 22901 April 4, 1990 Albemarle County Board of Zoning Appeals Attn: Mr. Cogan County of Albemarle 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22901 Gentlemen: We hope you will help the University preserve its Jeffersonian heritage by denying its request for a variance to tripple the size of the sign at the entrance to the Boar's Head Inn. Such a large billboard would violate the scenic highway designation for Route 250 and reduce property values in Ednam Forest. The present sign has been there for about 25 years. For the last 20 years, we have told many friends and guests how to find our house by telling them to "Turn at the Boar's Head Inn sign." All of them have found it. We fail to see any compelling reason for the requested variance since the current sign is clearly visible from both directions. Other comparable inns and hotels in Virginia, such as the Homestead and the Williamsburg Inn, have much smaller signs than the present Boar's Head sign. Your denial of the variance in sign size would be greatly appreciated.

Our members feel the present sign is adequate and we believe even this size sign would not be permitted under the "Scenic Highway" designation of route 250 at this location.
