Keeler FROM: Tim Rose/ SUBJECT: North Fork Per our conversation, we commit to the following, which augments Dean Cinkala's memorandum which he sent this morning: Hazardous Materials • As we discussed, the response that was faxed to you this morning is acceptable. It allows the County to enforce the proffer which states that "no hazardous matefials, including medical wastes, will be disposed wIthin the project." Interchange We will dedicate the area shown as "Future Right of Way Dedicated for a Grade Ip Separated Interchange" on Exhibit 5.3 of the proffers when the interchange Is constructed, We would like to be able to participate in the design so as to help;pror ct the aesthetic aspects of the entrance to North Fork. As stated in Dean's memorand m, we will not develop in this area. Fire Station We will not add any conditions to our dedioeti n of land. We would like to be allow to participate in the design so as to assist in c�eating a structure that ensures consistency with the park's design guidelines. Clarification of the Terms Conveyance Conveyance in proffer 6.1 will be fee simple conveyance at terms acceptable to;the County. Conveyance in 6.3 will be fee simple (conveyance as a gift. Water Usage While we have proposed one way to restrict w ter use, since Planning Staff does no exactly know how water use should be restricted, we would hope that you could recommend approval subject to the applicant vyorking with County representatives to arrive at an acceptable mechanism for restricts i g water consumption. v 'marJ % �Z 1' )7 kr • &r w.'M— Coy i, • I �S' :' i S,Fr".I . l '71 NnI1HgNllili HMI61ilNi • 12-19-1995 11 45AM FROM STONEBR I DGE ASSOCIATES TO 18049724035--14 P.01 • • •• 11 • ' 11 • STONEBIQ_DGE Fax :Cover Sheet • !I . • DATE ' Dece-rnber 19, 1995 TIME: 11:44 AM . !! i I . • • TO: • Wlyne Cilimberg PHONE: Ron Keeler FAX: 804.972.405 • i FROM: Dean M.

Keeler, Chief of Planning (�W FROM: Amelia G. McCulley, Zoning Administrator" ` DATE: December 19, 1995 RE: ZMA 95-04 UREF North Fork I concur with comments made by Planning staff and the County Attorney' s office. I specifically am in agreement with the recommended modifications as stated by the staff report. In an effort to be efficient, I will not be redundant but will reserve comments to additional proposed resolutions and notes. With this latest draft dated December 7th, the applicant has responded to many previous remarks. However, in addition to clearly addressing the issues you note, some further explanation and fine tuning is necessary. 1 . Staff has commented on the language of development in "substantial accordance" and in "substantial conformance. " By definition as stated in Section 8 . 3 , "a planned development is: . . . c. In accordance with approved application plans . . . " As the staff report notes, Section 8. 5 . 6 . 3 allows for review by the Director of Planning and Community Development for minor variations. I recommend that it is clearest to be consistent and utilize the language which restates the ordinance. 2 . Special permit abandonment. Proceeding as you recommend avoids future difficulties when a use shown on the application plan may no longer be available because the special permit has expired. Because it will be clearly stated, it removes the possibility of different interpretations. This provision appears to be consistent with the planned development concept. This may need further explanation as to how it would operate in the absence of this provision. ZMA-95-04, UREF North Fork Page Two December 19, 1995 3 . Why is there any need to refer to the zoning application plan as "conceptual?" By its nature and by language in the ordinance, an application plan for a planned development shows general road alignments . . . general water, sewer and storm drainage lay-out. . .preliminary lot lay-out. . . " (Section 8 .5. 1 j) . The zoning ordinance, as stated in the preceding, provides some administrative discretion for minor variations. I suggest removing that term "conceptual". 4) I echo comments that "modular" buildings as an exception to the 3 million square foot building area cap is a very broad exception. This includes more than I had understood from our conversations. A reference to temporary office trailers as permitted by the ordinance (for construction headquarters and for occupancy while the main structure is being built) is a remedy. 5. The term "gross square footage" should be changed to "gross floor area." This will involve the use of one term which is consistent with and defined within the zoning ordinance. 6 . Water consumption is identified as a significant and complex issue. Critical to administering the relevant proffers is clarifying terminology and procedures. The meaning of "facility" should be defined. The zoning ordinance uses the language "commercial or industrial establishment or per dwelling unit" to address requirements relating to private wells and septic. This has usually been interpreted to mean per individual business. 7 . Proffer 5 . 2 (a) should be revised to include road construction or bonding at the time of certificate of occupancy for development under site plan in addition to the reference to recordation of a subdivision plat. 8 . As suggested by other staff, proffer 5. 4 should include some further clarifying language. Ceilings in "building densities ceilings" may be better understood if replaced with a more typical word. 9. As another critical issue, the transportation improvements (Proffer 5 . 3 and 5. 4) should be clearly delineated. I concur with comments made in the December 15th memo from the County Attorney's office. It will be important to specify who is responsible for each determination, approval and actual improvement or pro rata share. For example, at what point should phased transportation improvement amendments be subject to Board of Supervisors ' approval? The possibility of development occurring in different phases than ordered or in subphases should be explored completely. ZMA-95-04, UREF North Fork December 19, 1995 Page Three 10. The application plan functions with the proffers as the zoning for the property. It will be most important to receive a full-size copy of the plan with any revisions as may be necessary, within the ordinance time line. Because of the scale of the development and the length of build-out, it will be referenced so frequently as to warrant a more durable drawing. A mylar would be a helpful addition to the paper copy. As you have recommended, a copy of the approved zoning application plan and applicable ordinance regulations in effect at that time should become a part of the official record. 11. As stated by staff, it should be made very clear as to which plans are proffered and what "illustrative" means. 12 . With the exception of "general offices, " the other use categories are in accordance with the ordinance. I recommend that this category also refer to the ordinance. As I understand it, it is not intended to merely be commercial office space. I am available for further review or discussion as you see necessary. cc: Greg Kamptner, Assistant County Attorney UREF (11:1'44 It , I { I COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION P 0 BOX 671 RAY D. PETHTEL CULPEPER,22701 DONALD R. ASKEW COMMISSIONER DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR MEMORANDUM TO: Ronald Keeler, Albemarle County 1 FROM: Wanda Moore, VDOT ��� - DATE: November 27, 1995 SUBJECT: North Fork Business Park, Albemarle County Follow- Up to October 10, 1995 Memorandum In order to clarify my October 10, 1995 Memorandum, the following is offered: 1. The "latest traffic study" mentioned in the last paragraph of the memo refers to the June 7 , 1995, revised Traffic Impact Study- North Fork Business Park prepared by Wilbur Smith Associates. This document will serve as the approved study. 2 . The developer is not responsible for constructing a grade separated intersection. However, the North Fork development will eventually generate enough traffic to warrant the construction of a third southbound through lane on U. S. 29 from Road A's entrance to Route 649 . Consequently, the developer will be responsible for the cost of this improvement. The estimated cost of construction excluding costs for design, utilities, and right-of-way is $2 , 025, 000. (This figure is derived based on a distance of 1. 5 miles from Road A to Route 649) . Please be advise that this is only a preliminary estimate and is subject to change upon final design. Also, it is understood that under the direction of VDOT and the county, these funds may be applied to the construction of an interchange. I hope this information clears up any lingering issues regarding this development. Should you have further questions, please call. cc: Angela Tucker Bill Mills Irma Von Kutzleben TRANSPORTATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
