Box 9023 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22906 • (804) 982-4848 • FAX (804) 982-4852 December 19, 1995 Lake Acres Residents Albemarle County, Virginia Dear Lake Acres Residents: Over the last several months, we have attempted to work closely with you to understand your concerns regarding the development of the North Fork Business Park, and, in fact, have attempted to address as many of those concerns as possible in the Rezoning Application. We think our conversations with you have been productive, and we are appreciative of your input. As you have requested, the purpose of this letter is to discuss how we intend to address the various concerns you have presented. We request that the County include this letter in our rezoning submission. Following is a summary of the University of Virginia Foundation's (UVAF) intentions vis-a-vis the concerns listed in your January 25, 1995 letter to us and those raised in our subsequent meetings: o UVAF Role: UVAF agrees to act as a facilitator to aid in the resolution of any grievances or problems related to the development of North Fork Business Park, which the above listed neighbors may raise. o Land Contracts: Per your request, contracts for land sales or leases of property at the park will include a provision indicating that tenants are to assist in ensuring that construction traffic be directed south of Rte. 606. o Site Access from Rte._6O6: The Zoning Application Plan, in the Rezoning Application, proposes an internal road network to access lots along Rte. 606. Site F1A will not have direct access to Rte. 606. o Construction /Truck Traffic: UVAF will modify its Design Guidelines for the Park to require construction traffic to access the site from Rte. 649 to Rte. 606. UVAF requests the neighbor's cooperation and aid in enforcing this requirement. UVAF will also support any request the neighbors wish to make to VDOT to prohibit truck traffic from making a right turn from Quail Run Road onto Rte. 606 as long as such a request is rational in terms of the County's road plans at the time of the request. o Rta_6O6 Paving: UVAF will not initiate a request for Rte. 606 to be paved. o Buffer_Along_Rte_606: UVAF will maintain a 150 foot buffer along the entire extent of its property along Rte. 606. This includes Lot F1 A which had only a 50 foot buffer in the Rezoning Application. UVAF will not clear cut durable trees in the buffer but will be allowed to maintain the buffer area (i.e. clearing underbrush and weed growth) to establish and maintain a visually appealing buffer area. o Use_Locations: The Zoning Application Plan addresses the location of uses within the Park. Lake Acres Residents December 19, 1995 Page Two o Sediment&_Erasion.Control, Stormy+rater_Management_and_the_Raw_Water_Intake: County regulations regarding erosion and sediment control regulate required practices during construction. The Rezoning Application includes a master stormwater management plan for the entire Park which is above and beyond current applicable regulations for post-construction stormwater runoff, and also addresses the Raw Water Intake drainage area. The Rezoning Application addresses proposed use restrictions for the Park to protect the Raw Water intake. o North Fork Business_Park_Design_Quidalines: The Rezoning Application, via the North Fork Business Park Design Guidelines, addresses street lighting, waste area screening and other similar issues. The proposed use restrictions in the Rezoning Application address noise concerns by the elimination of most Heavy Industrial uses. o Playing Fields: The recreation area/playing fields will not be lit. o Rta._606_Right_nfWay: The UVA Foundation will cooperate with property owners in retaining the original character of Rte. 606 by not initiating any requests to change the unpaved portion north of Quail Run Road from its current status as a gravel surfaced country lane. o lltility__installation: UVAF will provide appropriate ground cover over areas where new installation has occurred. We believe that this letter, and the Rezoning Application represent UVAF's good faith efforts to address the concerns of the Lake Acres neighbors. We are pleased that this letter meets with your satisfaction. Sincerely, 0.N.7":2,7(..„c Tim R. Rose Chief Operating Officer TRR:lp State of Virginia County of Albemarle cc: Mr. Hovey S.
