Letters to the Editor,@Anita Shelburne
Board of Supervisors, Albemarle County
Firstly I want to thank you for the time-consuming work that you all exert on behalf of
our community welfare-and more particularly on the stewardship of "our funds" and
responsibility that comes with the job. Now that our state law (58.1.3321) has
automatically compelled reduction of our assessment value to $0.58 (from 0.$74)/100 it
is incumbent on you in the name of fiscal prudence to exercise the utmost common sense
in determining where the finalized rate will be arrived at. If not it will only encourage an
air of profligacy to take hold in the minds of those who frame the budget this year, next
year and so on. The time has come to buckle down and sharpen the pencil heads and get
serious even if it means utilization of a criterial regimen as "zero-budgeting" or a County
Budget Index based on key factors, e.g., cost-of-living, population growth, etc. It's time!

Update:
At the Planning Commission meeting on January 9,2007 the public hearing for the amendment to the Camp
Watermarks Special Use Permit was deferred until February 6,2007 due to an error in adjacent property
notifications.
Staff received a letter dated January 9, 2007 from Catherine J. Womack of Feil, Pettit & Williams PLC
Attorneys at Law on behalf of adjacent property owners Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wissel objecting to the proposed
amendment to a Special Use Permit. The Wissel property is comprised oflots lA, IB, 2A, and 2B of Tax
Map 136, parcel 10 (SUB 2006-78 Hatton Grange Farm) of which lots IA and IB are adjacenttothe Critzer
property. (Attachment I) The letter outlines the following concerns regarding the proposed amendment and
respectfully request the amendment to the Special Use Permit be denied:
. "The usage previously approved countedfor about 8% of the calendar year; now almost 31% of the
calendar year will be devoted to camp session, further reducing the use of the property for farming. "
o It is staffs understanding that camp activities have not reduced farming activity to date and
the Critzers plan to continue to operate the camp and the farm simultaneously.
. "They (Mr. and Mrs. Wissel) acquired their property with the expectation that they would be located
in a quiet, bucolic agricultural setting, not next to a camp serving 720 children and 160 staffers. The
applicants' proposed use would without a doubt change the character of the district, increasing
traffic and lighting and reducing the farm use of the property. "
o Camp Watermarks is limited by the conditions ofthe Special Use Permitto 36 to 45 children
at a time with 10 supporting staff per session.
o Traffic impacts are limited in the conditions of the Special Use Permit, no changes are
proposed: The maximum number of bus trips (round trips) to and from the camp, each
session shall be six (6)
o All lighting on site is by-right under agricultural use; for this reason the Special Use Permit
does not address lighting issues.
Staff has received the following additional corresponden~e regarding the Camp Watermarks amendment:
. Two emails from members of the local community in support of amending the Special Use Permit for
Camp Watermarks from 4 week long session per year to 16 week long sessions per year. (Attachment
H)
. Four letters from neighbors and members of the community expressing support for the proposed
amendment. (Attachment H)
. Paul Bryant, neighbor closest to the camp site (parcel 136 6E), contacted staff by phone on January 8,
2007 to express his support for the proposed 16 weeks of sessions at Camp Watermarks.

MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Scottsville
.
Character of the Area:
The surrounding context is comprised of evergreen and deciduous forest, open pasture, agricultural fields,
hedgerows, as well as occasional residential and agricultural buildings. Adjacent James River Road is a
narrow, rolling road leading to the center of the town of Scottsville near-by and to the east. Scattered
throughout the area are several farm/storm water ponds and local streams. Immediately adjacent and to the
west is the Hatton Agricultural and Forestal District. Immediately to the south of the area lie the railroad
tracks and the banks of the James River.
Specifics of the Proposal:
The applicant has requested a Special Use Permit to allow for extending the number of camp sessions allowed
from four (4) to sixteen (16) per calendar year. Camp Watermarks will otherwise remain a camp for girls and
boys from ages 8 - 18 in an agricultural/faith based setting with a maximum enrollment of36 - 45 children for
each week long session. Camp activities and accommodations would remain unchanged and include nine
cabins, a recreation hall / dining facility, basketball and skate boarding areas, a fishing lake, fire pit, and
nearby animal paddock. One of the primary goals of Camp Watermarks is to provide nature and agricultural
experiences for children who normally have limited exposure to outdoor and / or agricultural environments.
Each of the nine cabins currently located on the property measures approximately 14 x 16 feet with an 8'
porch. Each cabin includes wall to wall carpeting and an air-conditioning unit. Five cabins are provided for
girls, four for boys. Each cabin is intended to house a maximum off our to five children at a time. The cabins
are used for storage related to the operation of the farm when camp is not in session. Food service for the
camp sessions is provided in the Recreation / Dining Hall which includes a lounge area, stage for music and
dramatic performances, a large open area, and kitchen facilities.
Plannine: and Zonine::
Tax Map 136 Parcels 6B, 9D, 9D 1, and 9E have been farm and forest land owned by the same family for over
100 years. These parcels were part of the subdivision of a single, 269 acre farm in the mid 1970's. A Special
Use Permit to operate a faith based agriculture camp within the farm (SP 2005-034 Camp Watermarks) was
.
3
approved by the Board of Supervisors by vote of 6:0 on May 3 of this year, subject to ten conditions
recommended by the Planning Commission. These conditions are repeated as conditions of approval for this
amendment to the Special Use Permit.
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject properties as Rural Areas emphasizing the preservation and
protection of agricultural, forestal, open space, and natural, historic and scenic resources as land use options.
Under the Rural Areas Section of the Comprehensive Plan extending the total number of sessions annually at
Camp Watermarks supports the following Guiding Principles for the Rural Areas: .
"Protect Albemarle County's agricultural lands as a resource base for its agricultural industries andfor
related benefits they contribute towards the County's rural character, scenic quality, natural
environment, and fiscal health. "
"Encourage creative and diverse forms of rural production and support rural land uses that provide
rural landowners with economic viability. "
"Preserve the County's rural scenic resources as being essential to the County's character, economic
vitality, and quality of life. "
The operation of the camp provides an additional source of revenue for the applicant and contributes to farm
revenue and local fiscal health. The low intensity and minimal visibility of the camp helps maintain County's
rural character and scenic quality by not significantly impacting the local landscape.
"Protect the quality and supply of surface water and groundwater resources. "
"Protect Albemarle County's forest as a resource base for its forestry industries and watershed
protection. "
Approximately 64 acres of the 89.4 acres that comprise the four subject parcels are currently wooded. The
existing forest land is primarily cultivated pines on the south end of the farm, with areas of mature mixed
deciduous forest on the northern parcels. The deciduous woodland is part of a larger wooded area that
extends well beyond the boundaries of this parcel and is a primary presence in this district. The extent and
quality of the local deciduous forest contributes substantially to the character of the surrounding district and
the health of the James River watershed. Allowing the extension of the number of total camp sessions per
year does not impact the maintenance of wooded acreage in the County, aiding in the protection and quality of
local drinking water resources.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits provided for in this ordinance may be issued upon a linding by the Board
of Supervisors that such use wiD not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property,
Within the current approved special use provisions, children attending Camp Watermarks as well as camp
staff congregate at Effort Baptist Church in Palmyra and are transported in a school bus to the site at the
beginning of each session and return to Palmyra in the bus at the end of the session. The bus currently makes
a maximum of five additional round trips per week long session to allow the campers to embark on various
field trips. A total of approximately sixty four (64) bus trips each year (allowing six trips per session: the
4
.
.
.
initial pick up and drop off and five field trips per session) will occur to and from the site with this proposal.
Any needed additional parking is currently accommodated in a large 50' x 100' gravel parking area to the
south of the camp area located deep into the Critzer/Tapscott property.
The recreation hall has been insulated to reduce audible levels outside the building and no outdoor amplified
sounds or bull horns are used on the property.
Section 4.17.6 of the Code indicates agricultural contexts are exempt from restrictions regarding outdoor
lighting levels. The primary use of these parcels will remain agricultural both during and outside of camp
sessIOns.
The transportation arrangements, sound restrictions, and by-right use of outdoor lighting will remain
consistent with the provisions of the existing Special Use Permit and the County Code. It is the opinion of
staff that the impacts on adjacent property result from the intensity of each single week session rather than
from the number of sessions held throughoutthe year. Stafffeels that adding an additional twelve, week long
sessions per year to the operation of the camp will not significantly impact adjacent property to a greater
degree than four sessions per year.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and
As with the existing camp operation, the primary use of the subject parcels will remain agricultural and
forestal, with the camp operating sixteen (16) weeks per year within the context of continuing agricultural and
forestall activities. The applicant has worked to minimize the presence of the Camp Watermarks within the
farm and the local community in the following ways:
· The cabins and recreation hall are located deep within the site, and are surrounded on all four sides by
stands of both deciduous and evergreen forest.
· The cabins have been constructed with minimal tree removal, are tucked into the edge of a deciduous
stand of trees, and closely reflect vernacular farm building architecture.
· The surface of the entrance drive is paved with "prime & seal" (compressed asphalt emulsion &
gravel), retaining the look of an informal paving characterized by near-by roads and driveways. This
material choice allows the drive to blend with the surrounding context while simultaneously meeting
minimum VDOT requirements.
Because of these existing efforts to minimize the presence of the camp, it is staff's opinion that the operation
of Camp Watermarks for an additional twelve weeks per year will not impact the character of the surrounding
district.
that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
Section 18, Chapter 10 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines the purpose of Rural Areas zoning: "This district
(hereafter referred to as RA) is hereby created and may hereafter be established by amendment of the zoning
map for the following purposes:
-Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities;
-Water supply protection;
5
-Limited service delivery to the rural areas; and
-Conservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources. (Amended 11-8-89)"
The primary activity on the subject parcels will remain farming and forestry. The camp is located within a
working farm operated by the applicant totaling just over 100 acres. The applicant's family has been farming
on this land for over 100 years. Farming activities on the site currently include raising goats, cattle, and
donkeys, harvesting hay, the cultivation of several crops, and tree farming.
One of the goals of Camp Watermarks is to promote campers awareness of agricultural processes and natural
resources. This educational emphasis directly supports the purpose and intent of this ordinance by providing
a venue where campers have the opportunity to gain understanding ofthe value of rural/agricultural land to
the larger community. Adding twelve sessions to the camp's annual schedule creates additional opportunity
to increase public awareness of the importance of rural land to Albemarle.
with uses permitted by right in the district,
The property and the adjacent properties are zoned RA, Rural Areas. Given the relationship between the
camp and the promotion of agricultural and forestal activities and the existing measures minimizing the
impact camp on the surrounding community staff feels extending the number of camp sessions from four (4)
to sixteen (16) would not affect the uses permitted by right in the district.
with the additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance,
Regulations in Section 5.0 of the Ordinance that apply to the establishment ofa(day or overnight) camp in the
Rural Areas are as follows (5.1.05 Day Camp, Boarding Camp):
"a. Provisions for outdoor cooking, campfires, cooking pits, etc., shall be subject to Albemarle County
fire official approval whether or not a site development plan is required;
b. All such uses shall conform to the requirements of the Virginia Department of Health Bureau of
Tourist Establishment Sanitation and other applicable requirements."
Conditions of approval have been included to address each of these supplemental regulations. (Conditions 2,
3,4, and 11)
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
Joel DeNunzio of the VDOT Charlottesville Residency has reviewed the applicant's proposal and has no
objection to additional camp sessions. Mr. DeNunzio felt the proposed increased number of camp sessions
did not change the impacts on daily use while camp is in session; he had no comment on the length of the
season.
A nurse, emergency medical technician, trained counselors, and a youth minister are currently an integral part
of each session; this will be the case with sixteen sessions as well. Camp staff travels to the site on the bus,
along with the campers, and remain throughout the course of each session. The need for permanent parking
areas is minimal given the applicant's approach to bussing campers and staffto and from the site; however
there is an existing large paved area near the main building and a large 50' x 100' gravel parking area to the
south ofthe camp area located deep into the CritzerfTapscott property should additional parking be needed.

The applicant is currently working with the Virginia State Department of Health to assure the use of a water

Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has requested a Special Use Permit to allow for the
establishment of a camp for girls and boys from ages 8 - 18 in an agricultural setting. The
applicant proposes to hold a maximum of four overnight sessions per year at the camp with a
maximum enrollment of 36 - 45 children for each session. The four week sessions would consist
of one week during spring planting, two weeks during the summer growing season, and a fourth
week for fall harvest. Camp activities and accommodations are proposed in several areas of the
site including nine cabins, a recreation hall / dining facility, basketball and skate boarding areas, a
fishing lake, fire pit, and nearby animal paddock. The applicants have indicated that one of their
primary goals is to provide nature and agricultural experiences for children who normally have
limited exposure to outdoor and / or agricultural environments. (Site Maps: Attachment A. 1." 2.,
and 3.)
.
Each of the nine cabins measures approximately 14 x 16 feet with an 8' porch. Each cabin
includes wall to wall carpeting and an air-conditioning unit. Five cabins are provided for girls,
four for boys. Each cabin is intended to house a maximum of four to five children at a time. In
the past session, campers have slept in sleeping bags on the cabin floors. The applicant has
expressed the desire to provide bunk beds in future sessions. The applicant has noted that the
orientation of the cabins towards the nearby lake is intended to encourage contemplation and
reflection. The cabins would be used for storage related to the operation of the farm when camp is
not in session.
Food service would be provided in the Recreation / Dining Hall which includes a lounge area,
stage for music and dramatic performances, a large open area, and kitchen facilities. The kitchen
is approximately 12 x 22 feet and is comprised of an electric range, refrigerator, single sink,
microwave, stainless steel tables, and counter space.
Provisions (interior or exterior) for physically challenged campers have not been included at this
time.
(Site Photographs: Attachment B.)
Petition: Sections 31.2.4.1, 10.2.2 (20.), and 5.1.05 allow for special considerations for the
establishment of (day or overnight) camps under Special Use Permits in the Rural Areas. The
property, described as Tax Map 136 Parcels 6B, 9D, 9D1, and 9E is designated Rural Area 4
under the Comprehensive Plan. The parcel is located at 1145 James River Road, with the
entrance drive located less than 12 mile west of the intersection of Route 726 and Hatton Ferry
Road in the Scottsville Magisterial District.
.
Character of the Area: The history of the area is anchored in agricultural traditions. The
landscape was once comprised of a few, larger fanns with names like 'Warren Tract' and 'Rock
Island', the latter referencing the islands located in the nearby bend in the James River. The
surrounding context is comprised of evergreen and deciduous forest, open pasture, agricultural
fields, hedgerows, as well as occasional residential and agricultural buildings. Adjacent James
River Road is a narrow, rolling road with transitions onto private property that are characterized
E
14
by compacted gravel or similar, informal driveway materials. Scattered throughout the area are
several farm/storm water ponds and local streams. Immediately to the south of the area lie the
railroad tracks and the banks ofthe James River.

The applicants had operated the camp for a week during the summer of 2005 utilizing buildings
approved only for agricultural use. Electricity had been installed in the cabins without permits.
The shower room had been in use during the camp session without building, electrical, or
plumbing permits. In addition, the shower room had been operated without Heath Department
approval of the septic system. The violations were abated on September 16, 2005, when the
camp showers were disconnected and the applicant agreed to preclude camp activities until the

VIO 2005-286
In December of 2005 an anonymous complaint was filed stating that the applicant was charging
for the use of the cabins and operating a dance hall in the camp recreation building. The violation
was abated when the applicant began the Special Use Permit process in January of2006.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the
zoning ordinance and recommends approval, based on consistency with the Comprehensive Plan,
subject to conditions of approval contained in this report.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits provided for in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding
by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent
property,
While the traffic on adjacent James River Road will increase somewhat when camp is in session,
the applicant has expressed the desire to minimize the impact of camp traffic on the
neighborhood. In order to reduce traffic on James River Road, campers and camp staff will
congregate at Effort Baptist Church in Palmyra and be transported in a school bus to the site at
the beginning of each session and return to Palmyra in the bus at the end of the session. The bus
will make a maximum of two additional trips per week to allow the campers to visit the
Scottsville Pool. A total of approximately sixteen bus trips each year (allowing four trips per
session: the initial pick up and drop off and two field trips per session) will occur to and from the
site. Any needed additional parking would be accommodated in a large 50' x 100' gravel parking
area to the south ofthe camp area located deep into the Critzer/Tapscott property.
The entry drive into the camp is immediately adjacent to a single, close-by neighbor; visibility or
close contact with camp activities is limited from other nearby vantage points. County mapping
data bases indicate that the entrance drive into the camp is located on neighboring parcel 6E,
owned by Paul F. Bryant. A survey dated December 16, 1992, indicates thatth~ entranc~ drive is.
located primarily on parcel 6B, with orily a portion of the road encroaching on parcel 6E.
(Attachment C.) The applicant has since provided a letter of confirmation from the surveyor of
the original plat conftrmingthat the road is now located fully on Critzer/Tapscott property.

The applicant has indicated that the recreation hall is used occasionally by a teenage band for
practice sessions, but has confirmed that no outdoor amplified sounds or bull horns will be used.
The applicant has also indicated that the recreation hall has been newly insulated to reduce
audible levels outside the building.
As required by Section 4.l7.4(a.) all outdoor lighting fixtures that emit more than 3,000 lumens
must be full cut off:
'4.17.4 STANDARDS
The following standards shall apply to each outdoor luminaire:
a. Except as provided in section 4.17.6, each outdoor luminaire subject to these outdoor lighting
regulations shall be a full cutoff luminaire. (Amended 10-17-01)'
However, Section 4.17.6 states that lighting in agricultural contexts are exempt. The primary use
of several areas on the camp site is agricultural, though a few areas are related exclusively to
camp use. The yard lights located at the skate board ramps are an example of site lighting for
camp purposes only. Lighting on the site that is located solely for camp use must meet the
lighting ordinance by providing full cut off fixtures for each luminare emitting 3,000 lumens or
more.
Since the initiation of the Special Use Permit process, staff has received correspondence from
seven adjacent property owners supporting the establishment of the camp at this location.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and
The primary use of the property will remain agricultural and forestal, with the camp operating
only four weeks per year. When in operation, it has been the applicant's intent to minimize the
presence of the camp activities. The cabins and recreation hall are located deep within the site,
and are surrounded on all four sides by stands of both deciduous and evergreen forest. The cabins
have been constructed with minimal tree removal, are tucked into the edge of a deciduous stand
of trees, and closely reflect vernacular farm building architecture. Their coloring and scale are
sensitive to the immediate environment. The expansion of the previously existing area of asphalt
paving near the cabins and recreation hall is located internally and provides a more durable
surface for farm equipment movement and repair when camp is not in session.
On the entrance drive into the camp site, the applicant has used a "prime & seal" (compressed
asphalt emulsion & gravel), similar to surfaces found on rural streets. The resulting surface is as
durable as asphalt, but retains the look of a more informal surface. By taking this approach to
constructing the entry and drive, the applicant has allowed the drive to blend with the surrounding
context of informal driveways. This approach to meeting the minimum VDOT requirements
while demonstrating sensitivity to the surrounding context is supported by staff and could
contribute substantially to the preservation ofthe character of the Rural Areas as a whole.
While the camp has the option of using signage to indicate the location of the camp, the applicant
has elected not to place any signage for the camp on James River Road.
that such use will be in. harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
Farming will remain the primary activity on this site. The parcel included in this proposal is a
portion of a working farm operated by the applicant that totals just over 100 acres. The parcels
are part of the subdivision in the mid 1970' s of a single, 269 acre farm. The applicant's family
has been farming on this land for over 100 years. Farming activities on the site currently include

ILP

raising goats, cattle, and donkeys, harvesting hay, the cultivation of several crops, and tree
farming.
Purposes of the Rural Areas District Zoning Ordinance include:
. Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities;
. Conservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources
The operation of a camp that focuses on and promotes awareness of agricultural processes and
natural resources supports the purpose and intent of this ordinance by exposing campers to a
rural/agricultural environment. The applicant has expressed one of the goals of the camp is to
teach campers 'where food comes from' in an effort to foster understanding of the value of
rural/agricultural land.
with uses permitted by right in the district,
The property and the adjacent properties are zoned RA, Rural Areas. Staff opinion is that the
addition ofa (day or overnight) camp would not affect the uses permitted by right in the district.
with the additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance,
Regulations in Section 5.0 of the Ordinance that apply to the establishment of a (day or
overnight) camp in the Rural Areas are as follows (5.1.05 Day Camp, Boarding Camp):
'a. Provisions for outdoor cooking, campfires, cooking pits, etc., shall be subject to Albemarle
County fire official approval whether or not a site development plan is required;
b. All such uses shall conform to the requirements of the Virginia Department of Health Bureau
of Tourist Establishment Sanitation and other applicable requirements.'
Albemarle County fire and rescue have expressed no objection to the proposal provided that the
applicant complies with the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. The County Fire Marshall
has recommended that the applicant contact him to review the provisions for overnight camps and
open fires included in the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. .
The applicant has been working with the Virginia Department of Health to comply with minimum
standards for septic system and kitchen/food service.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
John Winn of the VDOT Charlottesville Residency has meet with the applicant and determined
that the entrance from James River Road meets VDOT requirements for site distances and
minimum configuration. The County Engineer has confirmed that the material and configuration
of the existing internal road leading to the camp is adequate for both cars and buses and the
number of trips anticipated.
The need for permanent parking areas is minimal, though there is a large paved area near the
main building. Any needed .additional parking would be accommodated in a large 50' x 100'
gravel parking area to the south ofthe camp arealocated deep into the Critzer/Tapscott property.
The applicant has indicated that a nurse, emergency medIcal technician, trained counselors, and a
youth minister will be an integral part of each session, traveling to the site on the bus, along with
the campers, and remaining throughout the course of each session.

.
Earlier violations have created concerns regarding the lack of approval by the Health Department
for the septic system for the shower and bathroom facilities. The applicant has been working
with the Health Department on approvals for the septic system and kitchen facilities and has
agreed to comply with Health Department requirements.
The Fire Department expressed no objection to the proposal provided the applicant complies with
the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. The applicant is encouraged to contact the Fire
Marshall to review the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code.

Dear Ms. Arnold:
I am writing to voice my support for the efforts of Travis and Angie Critzer and Camp Watermarks,
LLC. As a neighbor, I have seen what they are trying to do in terms of creating an environment for
young people to learn and share wholesome experiences in a protected rural setting. I am
pleased to see this innovative way of using the land in our community to expose youths to a
variety of uses of our natural resources that keep development to a minimum in the rural areas. I
believe that efforts like this will be an example to other local landowners for maintaining the
character of agricultural and forest land while keeping the rural areas productive.
As our population in Albemarle County continues to grow at a record rate, the young people of our
area will need more than ever a place where they can share outdoor, agricultural experiences and enjoy our
natural resources in a planned and protected setting. Camp Watermarks provides just such a place. I strongly
urge
Albemarle County's continued support of Camp Watermarks,LLC.
.
Most sincerely,
April R. Fletcher

Camp Watermark Special Permit
To Whom it May Concern:
We are writing to express our support for SP-2005-34 Camp Watermark. The
nature/agricultural aspects of this new camp will provide much needed knowledge and
experience for church groups and others interested in learning about the country life.
Since the camp will be held only a few weeks out of the year and is small, there will be
no problems with high impact in our area from vehicular traffic. Children wil=~ be able to
learn about and enjoy nature and the agricultural experience. They will also be able to
experience The James River from the camp's location which allows for riverside activities
and enjoyment. Since the camp is entirely enclosed within the applicants' property there
will be no problems with attendees having to deal with local traffic issues. This seems
to be the perfect example of how this type of operation should be set up.
Approval of this permit will also allow to preserve and protect our agricultural and
forestry areas.
We urge approval of this special use permit. The applicant's are especially involved in
church and children's activities and will be excellent stewards in providing arId
protecting land very suitable for the camp experience. We see no possible objections to
the applicants filing for this special use permit.
Sincerely Yours,
Jeff and Christie Schmick

Hello. I just wanted to write a note on behalf of Travis and Angie Critzer. On both a

are contagious and their testimony an inspiration to all.
I understand that the Critzers are trying to start a camp at their property in

Travis & Angie Critzer and Watermarks Camp
I understand that Travis and Angie Critizer are trying to start a camp in Scott.sville on
their property. I have known the Critizers for a while now, and go to church with them as
well. They are so encouraging and loving to our youth and everyone who comes in contact
with them. I have been a youth group leader as well as a Sunday School teacher with both
Angie and Travis, and I can think of no one better to start a camp for so many youth in
our area. I am in awe of how much they give to others, and I am totally behind this idea
of a camp in Scottsville.
Thank you,

Ms. Higgins stated that she was okay with it under those stipulations.
Mr. Cannon asked if the motion needs to be rephrased or is the motion impact as elaborated and
interpreted.
Mr. Kamptner noted that staff understands the Commission's intent.
Mr. Joseph felt that it was appropriate for this particular use on this site based on the way Mr. Dougherty
wrote the staff report telling us what this particular zoning district was intended for,
The motion passed by a vote of 6:0. (Commissioner Morris was absent.)
Ms. Joseph stated that ZMA-2005-010, Wachovia Bank and Shops at Rio Road was approved. She
asked if the request would still be heard on May 10 by the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Benish stated that because of the Board policy that staff have the proffers at least in advance and
agreed to that they were probably going to lose that May date. But, it was up to the Clerk of the Board.
He felt that they should be able to meet that June date provided that staff has that information a month in

STAFF: Amy Arnold
Ms. Arnold summarized the staff report.
. The applicant has requested a special use permit to allow for the establishment of a
camp for girls and boys from ages 8 to 18 in an agricultural setting. The applicant
proposes to hold a maximum of 4 overnight sessions per year at the camp with the
maximum enrollment of 36 to 45 children for each session. Four week sessions would
consist of one week during spring planting, two weeks during the summer growing
season and a fourth week during the fall harvest. Camp activities and accommodations
are proposed in several areas of the site including 9 cabinets,a recreationhallldining
facility, basketball and skateboarding areas, a fishing lake, a fire pit and near by animal
paddock.
. The applicants have indicated that one of their primary goals is to provide nature and
agricultural experiences for children who normally have limited exposure to outdoor and
agricu Ituralenvironm ents.
. The applicants operated the camp for a week during the summer of 2005 utilizing the
buildings that were approved only for agricultural use. Electricity had been installed in-
the cabins without permits. The showerroom had been in use during the camp session
without building, electrical or plumbing permits. In addition, the shower room had been
operating without Health Department approval of the septic system. The violations were
abated on September 16, 2005 when the camp showers were disconnecterd and the

applicant agreed to preclude camp activities until approval of the appropriate permits.
. Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this application:
1. Farming will continue as the primary activity on these parcels; the camp is a
secondary use.
2. The applicant's proposal for traffic management on James River Road is sensitive to
potential impacts on the neighborhood.
3. The camp environment is well integrated into the surrounding landscape.
4. The camp has the potential to heighten awareness and understanding of agricultural
processes and natural resources.
. Staff has identified the following factors unfavorable to this application:
1. Increased traffic on James River Road.
2. Increase in overall activity levels on and around the site.
. Based on the findings contained in this staff report, particularly as to the projects support
of Rural Area objectives, staff recommends approval of SP 2005-34, subject to the
conditions .Iisted in the staff report
Staff pointed out that seven letters of support for the Critzer's proposal had been received and included in
the staff report Also, there were seven additional letters and em ails of support for the proposal from
neighbors and adjacent property owners that were distributed this evening.
Ms. Joseph asked if there were any questions for staff.
Mr. Edgerton asked staff to point out which parcels belong to the applicant on the drawing on page 8.
Ms. Arnold stated that the parcel that belongs to the camp is 136-6B. The entrance to the camp is
located on the adjacent parcel. That was a topic of discussion during the review process. There is a plat
attached to the staff report that shows the different parcels. Since then the applicant has had a licensed
surveyor go out and confirm trat is the case. So the parcels are 136-6B, 136-9D, 136-9D1 and 136-9E.
The reason that 136-9E is involved as seen in. the combination drawing because of the approximate
location of the gravel overflow parking actually spills over a little into 136-9. There are four parcels total
that are impacted by the camp itself. The applicants actually own more property around that.
Mr. Edgerton asked if the applicant is trying to get approval for what they had already been doing, and
Ms. Arnold stated that was correct.
Ms. Higgins asked if engineering had reviewed the double parking area of 50' X 100'. The assumption
here sounds like it is a bus strip. She asked what if 45 parents and 10 staff members are delivering
children on a Sunday. She asked if someone has looked at it for adequacy.
Ms. Arnold stated that yes, in fact, that parking lot was identified in that area and established in
conversation with zoning based on their requirements and approved by them. She understood that
parents do not drop off or pick up their children.
Ms. Higgins asked that condition to be made clear in case of a change in the owners and the activities
ongoing. On the whole list there is nothing about the. entrance or anything being verified. Normally for
something like this there has lobe an entrance that VDOT has looked at and to make sure if there are
buses and entrances that has been confirmed by engineering.
Ms. Arnold stated that the staff report iridicatesthat County engineering and VDOT have both been out
and looked and approved not only the entrance, but the drive into the camp for surface, width, radius and
site.
Mr. Craddock asked if it was approved for both cars and buses.

. Ms. Higgins stated that they did riot make it as a condition of approval.
Ms. Arnold stated that it did not need to be because it already exists. VDOT and engineering already
approved it.
Ms. Higgins stated that usually they have the letter from VDOT in the staff report or they have it as a
condition. She felt that just putting in the verbiage was important in case something changes so that they
always have to maintain an entrance that meets approval and is not modified in any way. She did not
want to go into what could happen, but usually it is one or the other.
Mr. Craddock asked what condition 11 means that a zoning compliance clearance is required once a
year. He asked if they have to come back to the Commission to run their camp every year. He asked if it
means that the Health Department, etc. comes and makes sure that everything is set up for the year.
Ms. Arnold stated that was correct.
Mr. Kamptner stated that the applicant does not have to come back to the Commission. It is just done
administratively: Usually it is just to make sure that the sanitary issues are worked out each year.
Ms. Higgins asked if during the year these buildings are used to store corn in, then someone would go in
and make sure that the roof is still okay and whatever things that they require.
There being no further questions for staff, Ms. Joseph opened the public hearing and invited the applicant
to address the Commission.
.
Travis and Amie Critzer were present to represent the request. Mr. Critzer stated that they were
proposing just to use this property four times a year, which is a running farm. It will continue to be an
operating farm. They want to share some of the things that they grew up with and live with on a daily
basis with some of these children. They want the children to get some things out of this such as
exposure to fresh air, fishing, and that kind of stuff. This will be a Christian based agricultural style camp.
Ms. Higgins asked where the road goes that is shown on 136-9E.
Mr. Critzer stated that the road goes all the way through their property.
Mr. Edgerton asked what they would have the children do.
Mr. Critzer stated that the children would be a part of everyday farm life. They will get to learn that milk
does not come from a bottle. That beef does not come from a store. They will get to understand about
hay growth and that cows eat it. They will be able to learn and express themselves in a Christian manner
and learn things that they can't do in school, but can do here.
Ms. Higgins asked if the applicant had any problem with wording a condition to ensure that 45 parents
would not be coming on Sunday to pick up or drop off children. She asked that it be clarified that the
buses would be the primary means of transportation for the children.
Mr. Critzer stated that they do have two pickup and drop off places for the children when they do this.
One is Effort Baptist Church in Palmyra and the other is Scottsville Shopping Center in Scottsville. They
will meet-the children at these locations and bus them to the camp.
Ms. Higgins stated that if they mention in here that the primary means of transportation would be- buses.
This would ensure that if someone else took over the business and it changed, then the roads and other
things would have to be looked at. She asked if he wouldbe okay with that.
.
Mr. Critzer stated that he would agree with that. One of their biggest concerns in their area is that more
and more people are cutting up their land. The idea of this is that they want to hold onto their land. They

own a little over 200 acres and want to keep it as a farm. They don't want to develop or split up their land.
This is a way that they can share what they are doing with our community and surrounding community.
There being no further questions for the applicant, Ms. Joseph invited further public comment.
Peter Way, long time resident of the Scottsville area, stated that he was present in support of this project.
The vision and the dedication of the Critzers have given inspiration to all of us in southern Albemarle
County. This project has the tremendous support of everyone there. There is not a negative comment
from anyone in the area because this is a good thing. They hope that the Commission will approve it.
Scott Morill stated that he had been a neighbor and had known Mr. Critzer since 1979. He has been a
good neighbor and has never created any problems. He felt that anybody who is willing to spent their
money and give their time to help children today become better citizens for tomorrow deserves a lot of
credit. Therefore, he was definitely for this project.
Kris Clifford stated that he was a Youth Minister at the church that Mr. and Mrs. Critzer attend. In any
weekly basis he gets to work with 50 to 75 to 100 young people. So he was constantly working with
young people and he gets to see the lives of that they. live and .what they go through. He knows from.
experience that children need a place to get away from the nightmares of their lives, Everyone can watch
the news today and realize that young people have hard lives. He believed that opening a place like this
is just another way that people are rising up in our society to make a different for the leaders of tomorrow.
If they are willing to do things like this, then he would support them for creating a place like this for
children to be changed.
Reverend June Clifford, Associate Pastor of Effort Church in Fluvanna County, stated that she was an
adolescent nurse manager for a pre-adolescent program at Charter Hospital for over 11 years. So my
involvement with young people and children has been long standing. It is just a privilege to be a part of a
pastor in a relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Critzer. She has been involved as she is a teaching pastor and
discipleship minister as well in equipping, training and raising them up as youth leaders in our church.
She is a risk manager and a person who is involved in the mentor of children and adults. This couple has
impacted the youth in our community for years. Extending that to children in other communities is.beyond
belief the opportunity to do that. So again, she would like to express their wholehearted devotion and
their willingness to do the training and conferences and their leadership is worthy. Therefore, this is a
great opportunity.
Kevin Fletcher stated that he lived in the Scottsville area. He supports Camp Watermarks. He felt that it
fits into the Comprehensive Plan for the rural areas. As their growth areas become more populated he
felt that it was important that it provides a way for the youth to get out and become more familiar with our
rural areas. He hoped that help provide support for the County's efforts to preserve our rural areas.
Ken Leap stated that his family has lived here for approximately 35 years. It is really not much that he
can add to what everybody else has said about Mr. and Mrs. Critzer. He has seen the camp and felt that
they were very fortunate to have someone step forward to do such a thing. He hoped that the
Commission would support the request.
There being no further public comment, Ms, Joseph closed the public hearing and the matter was-before
the Commission.
Mr. Craddock stated that several weeks ago he had visited this camp with Reverend Way and a young
man that his home made a big difference for in his . life. He thought that what the Critzers are doing in
Scottsville will make a lot of difference in a lot of young people's lives and try to put them on the right
pathway to a good living. All of the letters the Commission received today were in support ofthe request.
One letter was from Barry Clark, who is the Town Administrator of -Scottsville, and he basically put down
in writing everything that he was thinking of about a safe place. for children to go. It is a good place to
have down in southern Albemarle. Therefore, he was very much in favor of this project.

Ms. Higgins asked for two amendments to the conditions to say that buses are the primary means of
transportation for children and then the maximum number of trips. Then another condition should be
added that says compliance with VDOT requirements for the entrance is verified prior to clearance for the
commencement of the special use permit. This would be for the record for the safety issue.
Ms. Joseph asked that the condition state buses or vans.
Ms. Higgins asked that the condition state buses or van trips.

Agenda Item No. 17. Public Hearing: Ordinance to amend Chapter 8, Licenses, Article VI,
Schedule of Taxes, Division IV, Personal, Professional, Business or Repair Service Business, Occupations
and Professions, ofthe Code of the County of Albemarle, Virginia, by amending Section 8-617, Retailers or
retail merchants. The proposed ordinance would reduce the license tax from twenty cents ($0.20) for each
one hundred dollars ($100.00) of gross receipts to ten cents ($0.10) for each one hundred dollars
($100,00) of gross receipts for sales made to a remote buyer ordering by telephone, internet, or mail in
which the item(s) sold is/are shipped by common carrier or by the U,S. Postal Service. The proposed
effective date of this ordinance is January 1,2007. (Notice of this public hearing was advertised in the Daily
Progress on April 17 and April 24, 2006.)
Mr. Richard Wiggans, Director of Finance, said the proposed ordinance amendment would reduc€!
the current rate of $0.20 per $100 of sales to $0.10 per $100 of sales made to a remote buyer ordering by
telephone, internet or by mail. Using the $200.0 million direct retail sales estimate, the annual impact on
County revenue for each one cent reduction in the BPOL tax rate on these sales would be approximately
$20,000. The proposed $0.10 reduction would decrease the tax revenue to the County from these direct
retail sales from $400,000 to $200,000. He added that the effective date of this ordinance would be
January 1, 2007. The Board had reviewed this information on April 5 and requested that a public hearing
be set.
Mr. Slutzky said there are some parties that have an interest in speaking on this matter but he
mistakenly told them the hearing would be on May 10. He asked that the public hearing be continued to
that meeting.
The public hearing was opened. With no one from the public rising to speak, the matter was
placed before the Board.
Mr. Slutzky immediately offered motion to defer and reopen the public hearing on May 10. Mr,
Boyd seconded the motion, which passed by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Ms. Thomas, Mr. Wyant, Mr. Boyd, Mr. Dorrier, Mr. Rooker and Mr. Slutzky.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 18. Public Hearing: SP-2005-034, Camp Watermarks (Signs #90, #96).
Proposed: Nature/agriculture camp, four weeks per year for local/urban children, Zonina
Cateaorv/General Usaae: RA, Rural Areas: agricultural, forestal & fishery uses; residential density (0.5
unit/acre). Section: 31.2.4.1; 10.2.2.20; 5,1.05. Comprehensive Plan Land Use/DensitY: Rural Areas-

Progress on April 17 and April 24, 2006,)
Mr. David Benish, Chief of Planning, reported that the applicant is requesting a special use permit
to establish a camp for girls and boys ages eight through 13, with a maximum of four overnight sessions per
year and a maximum enrollment of 45 children per session. He said the sessions would be for one week
during the spring growing season, and two weeks during the summer growing season, and a fourth week
for the fall harvest. Camp activities and accommodations are proposed in several areas of the site,

(Page 21)
including existing cabins, a recreation and dining hall, and other established facilities. He reported that the
applicant operated the camp for one week in 2005 without a special use permit, creating a violation, and
this request for a special use permit will remedy that situation. He said there were other improvements to
agricultural buildings made in violation of the ordinance, but those have been abated. He said the Planning
Commission reviewed this request on April 11 and recommended approval subject to the conditions
outlined in the Action Letter from the Planning Commission dated April 20, 2006.
With no questions for staff, Mr. Rooker invited the applicant to speak.
Mr. Travis Critzer and his wife Angie addressed the Board. He explained that this farm has been in
his family for over 100 years and they want to keep it. He said there is development all around them, with
farms being cut up and built on. He emphasized that he would like for the farm to provide a place f()r young
people to come together and learn about rural living.
Ms. Angie Critzer explained that the intent of the camp is to provide a safe environment for children,
adding that as youth leaders oftheir church she and her husband have become aware of the need for this
type of love and support for children.
Mr. Rooker opened the public hearing.
Mr. Peter Way addressed the Board, indicating his support for the Critzer's project. He said it has
the backing of everyone in the community. No one is opposed to it. He added that it fits in with the County's
planning for agricultural uses in the rural area.
Rev. June Crawford addressed the Board, stating that she is the associate pastor at Ephrata
Baptist Church in Fluvanna County, and used to be the program manager at Charter Hospital in the
adolescent/pre-adolescent unit. She has been involved in training the Critzers as youth and small group
leaders, and there is a possibility of partnering with the Department of Youth & Family Services.
With no one else from the public rising to speak, the heard was closed and the matter placed
before the Board.
Motion was immediately offered by Mr. Dorrier to approve SP-200S-034, Camp Watermarks,
subject to the 10 conditions recommended by the Planning Commission and as listed in the letter to the
applicant dated April 20, 2006. Mr. Wyant seconded the motion, which passed by the following recorded

County of Albemarle, Virginia
Re: SP 2006-37 Camp Watermarks Amendment
Dear Ms. Arnold:
This firm represents Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wissel, owners of four parcels (Lots lA, 1B, 2A
and 2B, Hatton Grange) totaling 170.32 acres, more or less, their property being a portion of
Albemarle County Tax Map 136, parcel 10, which they acquired in August, 2006. The Wissels'
property abuts the applicants' property known as Albemarle County Tax Map 136-9E and 136-
9D1, the parcel on which most of the camp improvements are located and, presumably where
most camp activities will take place. Mr. and Mrs. Wissell also share an extensive boundary
with the applicants' property known as Tax Map 136-92A, which is not a part of the special use
permit application.
Mr. and Mrs. Wissel wish to express their opposition to the expansion of the existing
special use permit now allowing operation of Camp Watermarks on Albemarle County Tax Map
136, parcels 9E, 9D 1, 9D and 6B.
The applicants, in their original application for a special use permit (SP 2005-34), applied
for permission to hold four one week sessions of camp: one during spring planting, two weeks
during the summer growing season and a fourth week for fall harvest. Approval was for a
maximum of six bus trips per camp session. Each camp session was to serve 36-45 children
between the ages of8 and 18.
Now, only a short time later, the applicants are requesting to quadruple the intensity of
the use of their property under the special use permit. Sixteen weeks of camp, which is
requested, would presumably mean that the camp would run all summer long as well as for
several other weeks in the year. The usage previously approved counted for about 8% of the
calendar year; now almost 31 % of the calendar year will be devoted to camp sessions, further
reducing the use of the property for farming. While the approval of the previous special use
permit allowed for an additional 220 people's use of the property (45 campers + 10 staffx 4), the
requested use will potentially bring 880 people onto the property (45 campers + 10 staff x 16).
This is a huge increase. Rather than 24 bus or van trips onto the property, there could now be 96
LfL
Attachment H

Page 2
bus trips. Presumably, there will also be additional delivery vehicle trips to the camp, to provide
food and other needed supplies to the campsite. There will undoubtedly be other additional trips
to and from the property, for instance, as children and staff may need medical attention in
addition to what is furnished on site. Rather than use of outdoor lighting for a few weeks per
year, it will be used all summer. Although no amplified sounds are to be permitted, the noise of
that many people engaging in outdoor activities will be substantial.
While the goal of the faith-based camp, to heighten awareness and understanding of
agricultural processes and natural resources, is admirable, I see nothing in the conditions
recommended by staff which prevents the use ofthe camp for other, non-agricultural purposes,
such as sports camps.
Mr. and Mrs. Wissel believe that expansion of Camp Watermarks will be a substantial
detriment to their adjacent property. They acquired their property with the expectation that they
would be located in a quiet, bucolic agricultural setting, not next to a camp serving 720 children
and 160 staffers. The applicants' proposed use would without doubt change the character of the
district, increasing traffic and lighting and reducing the farm use of the property.
Although the Wissels are not currently in town and therefore cannot attend today's
meeting, they ask that their concerns be relayed to the Planning Commission and respectfully
request that the special use permit be denied.
In addition, I notice that the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company (now CSX, I
believe), which abuts Tax Map 136-9E, was not listed on your letter as an adjacent property
owner to be notified of these proceedings.
Sinzrely,
~~~

Once again, it is with pleasure that I write to you on behalf of Travis and Angie
Critzer and Watermarks Camp.
Again, I cannot say enough about the Critzer's and their work in this church and
community. I understand that they have now requested the County's approval on
running Watermarks Camp additional weeks. I wholeheartedly support this
expansion as the camp has already made a positive impact in the lives of Effort's
children and youth. I have personally heard the testimonies of those who attended
camp last summer and feel strongly that granting approval for these additional
weeks can only foster a greater impact for our community as well.
Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance. Thank you in advance
for your consideration.

Dear Ms. Arnold,
I am writing in reference to the Watermarks Camp in Scottsville, Virginia. I would like
to give my support in extending the 4 weeks to
16 weeks. Watermarks has been such a blessing to the children, youth, and adults in
Scottsville and surrounding area. Travis and Angie have truly helped so many children
enjoy the beautiful outdoors as well as building their confidence. They have such a
passion for helping all children and youth, and witnessing this at church after they have
returned from camp is just amazing. Its so encouraging that the
Critzer's want to help our future youth by giving so much of their time and energy. If
given the chance, this camp will change so many more lives for the good in our area.
Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help the Critzer's continue
what they love, and that is helping the youth in our area to become better people of
tomorrow!
Thank you,
Carmen Holmes

RE: Watermarks Camp
Dear Amy:
I am writing this letter in support of the operation of Watermarks Camp located in Scottsville,
Virginia owned and operated by Mr. Travis Critzer and his wife Angie. As land owners
surrounding the camp area and residents of Albemarle County for more than forty years, we
would like to express our appreciation in the efforts and progress Travis and Angie have brought
to this community. We have known the Critzer's for more than 30 years. Travis and Angie hold
one of the utmost respected names in this area. They have been very active in their church home
as well contributing to the needs of the community for years. We personally have to say they
have been great role models in their children's lives as well as other parents in the community.
Growing up in such a smaIl community did not offer a lot of activities for the youth in the
Scottsville and surrounding areas. We realize as adults that not having an outlet or some kind of
activity for the children in this area to engage there energy especially during the summer months
when school is out of session can lead to other issues for parents. Watermarks Camp also not
only provides an educational and supportive environment, but a Christian one as well.
It is always a joy to hear the stories and experiences from the children who have attended this
camp over the last couple of years. We have been so excited about the growth of this camp and
what it has brought to our community.
As parents of children growing up in this community, we look forward to our children having
the opportunity to continue attending this wonderful camp. We are so proud of the
accomplishments that Travis and Angie have made thus so far and we continue to support their
efforts in the operation of Watermarks Camp.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

Reference: Watermarks Camp
Dear Ms. Arnold,
Mr. And Mrs. Travis Critzer are applying for an amendment to their existing special
use permit. They are requesting a rather modest extension of the allowable time in use
from a period of four weeks to 16 ~eeks ainioallr.... '
We are, without reservation,'ehthiIsiastically ill supportoftherequ~~ted special use permit
amendment for Watermarks Camp. The Critzer's are providiQ.g a warm, safe, and loving
environment for the youth of our coinmunifY. The property \viiI remain predominately in
agricultural use and will n.ot.be dev~loped for any other purpose thanprovi<;ling deserving youth ,
in a rewarding recreational environment ,developmental activities under adolt supervision.
Complaints against this amendment seem to be without merit and possibly even mean
spirited. The camping facility remains well within the Critzer's property boundaries and not
viewable from surrounding properties. Failing to approve the Critzer's application for a special
use permit amendment will, ultimately, prove a disservice to the lives of the youth engaged
here.
It is urged that this request be granted to Watermarks Camp so this worthy endeavor may
continue to operate in Albemarle County. We feel it is a deserving enterprise and that
the Critzer's, with no profit motive, altogether pro bono publico, should be encouraged.
Respectfully submitted,

CHARACTER OF THE AREA
The Montessori Community School is located on the north side of Richmond Road (Route 250
East) in the Pantops neighborhood. It is located across Rt. 250 from the Rivanna Ridge/Giant
shopping center, east of the American Legion, south of residential developments, and west of
the Eckerds pharmacy, the Luxor commercial development and Westminster Canterbury of the
Blue Ridge. The site sits high above the Route 250, an Entrance Corridor. The slope that
occupies the right-of-way between the site and Rt. 250 is partially vegetated. (Attachments A-
Aerial Location map, B-Land Use Plan exhibit, C-Zoning exhibit)
SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL
The Montessori School is seeking an amendment to their existing special use permit (SP 99-
04-Attachment D) to allow for the construction of permanent buildings to replace their aging and
deteriorating modular trailers. A recently updated survey is attached to indicate the Existing
Campus Plan and buildings on-site, Sheet EX-01 of the attached plan, the proposed Concept
Plan (Sheet SP-01 of the attached plan), and the phasing approach to construction (Sheet SP-
02). (All plan sheets provided in Attachment H) There are currently 8 one-story buildings with 32
parking spaces throughout the site. The modular classroom units that are currently on the
Montessori site were not intended to be permanent.
The proposed amendment to the special use permit is to replace the temporary modules with
permanent classrooms and to develop the site as indicated on the concept plan with an amphitheatre,
ball field and ball court, playgrounds, gardens, lawns, and associated site improvements. (Attachment
H) There is no increase in enrollment, staffing or change in operating hours requested. The existing
1924 main house and carriage house would be retained, with the carriage house being moved to a
different location on the site. New buildings will be two to three stories in height and total 40,700 total

square feet with 54 parking spaces. The applicant has noted that the total footprint of the buildings will
remain comparable to the existing campus plan with 20,800 square feet as the proposed foot print and
20,880 square feet as the existing buildings foot print. The applicant has indicated that the proposed
buildings will reflect the traditional architecture of the site and the surrounding area, modified as
required to support the environmental and educational goals of the school. The school intends to
employ green roof technology in most or all of the new buildings. New classroom buildings are
organized around the main administration building, linked by colonnades. The carriage house is shown
in a new location, on axis with the administration building and the amphitheater. The proposed building
layout acknowledges the existing historic residence and reuses the carriage house in a new location
that will improve the conditions on the site.
PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY
The Montessori Community School was established in the early 1980's and located at the
Pantops Mountain site in 1991. The site was rezoning from R-15 to CO Zoning, including
proffers, with ZMA 82-03. A subsequent rezoning (ZMA 95-12) and special use permit (SP 95-
22) allowed for deletion of the proffers approved with the previous ZMA, and permitted up to
120 students at the school. SP 99-04 was approved May 12, 1999 to allow for expansion of the
school with 9 modular units, a multi-purpose building, increased enrollment up to 300 students
and additional grade levels, along with 25 additional parking spaces. (Attachment D-SP 99-04
approval letter)
There is currently a zoning violation on the site (VIO-2006-239). A fence was installed around a majority of
the perimeter of the site without site plan or ARB approval. Most of the fence is chain link; a 100' length of
fence situated parallel to the EC near the east end of the site is a board fence. Both fences are
approximately 6' tall and are visible from the EC. Over the past several months, representatives from the
school have been discussing abatement of the violation with staff. ARB staff recommended that the
applicant pursue replacing the fence along the EC and any other portions of the fence that are visible from
the EC with black aluminum (or other metal) picket style fencing. Because it appeared that the school was
moving forward with abating the violation, a formal notice of violation was not processed at that time.
However, an ARB application was never submitted for review. With the submittal of the request for the
amendment to the SP, a formal notice of violation has been processed. The existing fence is shown on the
Existing Campus Plan EX-01 in Attachment H. As an interim measure, the school has offered to add plants
to minimize the visibility of the fence, but a proposal for new fencing coordinated with the phased expansion
plan has not been provided. The applicant has agreed, following ARB discussion of the matter at their
meeting on February 5,2007 to address fencing, providing details and location, with the site plan for Phase
1 improvements as shown on the Concept Site Plan SP-02 in Attachment H.
CONFORMITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Land Use Plan-
The property is located in Pantops (Neighborhood 3) of the Development Area and is designated Urban
Density Residential in the Land Use Plan. As determined with previous land use applications (ZMA 82-
03, ZMA 95-12, and SP 95-22 and 99-04) to allow the use, the school is consistent with this residential
land use designation. It is supportive of nearby residential uses and an appropriate use at this location
in Pantops, as a transition from the nearby residential areas to commercial uses. The proposed Pantops
Master Plan is also supportive of this use at this location, along with expansion of the school, and the
proposed land use designation is to remain Urban Density Residential.
Neighborhood Model-
SP 2006-038 Montessori School
PC 2/13/07 BOS 3/14/07
3
The Neighborhood Model sets forth twelve principles for evaluating development proposals within the
Development Area. How these principles are met with the requested amendment to the special use
permit is addressed in the table below:
Pedestrian The proposed Concept Plan provides for improved pedestrian
Orientation orientation and pedestrian circulation system on the school campus.
All buildings, central features, and parking areas will be connected
with walkways, including colonnades. (Attachment E) This principle
has been met on-site.
Off-site, a sidewalk exists along both sides of Rolkin Road, which is
on the north side of Route 250, leading to the school campus. There
is no sidewalk located along the north side of Route 250 adjacent to
the Montessori School. Since the Montessori School is not proposing
an intensification of the school use on this site, staff did not
recommend any off-site improvements to the sidewalk system as a
requirement of approval of this special use permit request. Staff did
bring the lack of a sidewalk at that location and need for
improvements to the school's attention but they declined to offer the
off-site improvement to Route 250.
Neighborhood There are existing sidewalks on Rolkin Road adjacent to the site.
Friendly Streets and These sidewalks are not buffered by street trees but the applicant is
Paths proposing enhanced vegetation of the bank adjacent to the sidewalk
and leading up to the school campus. While this principle is not met
due to the slopes adjacent to the sidewalk, no changes to Rolkin Road
are expected.
Interconnected The site is located along Rolkin Road, which will eventually provide for
Streets and interconnections to Fontana and an east-west parallel route to Route
Transportation 250, north of the school site. This site is not expected to provide for
Networks any interconnections to adjoining properties and this principle has
been met.
Mixture of Uses Pantops has been rapidly developing and a greater mix of office,
commercial, and future residential uses have emerged adjacent to this
site. The institutional use of this site, along with the American Legion
site to the west, adds an appropriate use to the mix in this area of
Pantops. This principle has been met.
Neighborhood The Montessori School is located adjacent to two neighborhood
Centers centers, one at Luxor and the other across Route 250 at Rivanna
Ridge/Giant Shopping Center. This principle has been met.

Building and Spaces Buildings will be two to three stories in height and range in size from
of Human Scale 5,000-7,000 square feet in size with one building proposed at 10,000
square feet in size at the southwest corner of the property adjacent to
Route 250. Buildings and site features will be connected with
colonnades. This principle is met on the school campus. Due to its
location on a hill above Route 250 and Route 20, the new buildings
will not have a relationship to those adjoining streets. Internally this
principle is met; externally the grades make the principle hard to
achieve.
Relegated Parking Parking is relegated from Route 250, with the campus buildings and
other features located between the parking and road. It Is located to
the side of buildings in relation to Rolkin Road and vegetation
between the parking area and Rolkin Road will be enhanced. This
principle has been met.
Site Planning that The applicant has indicated that the previous flat-graded-site-
Respects Terrain approach established for the modular classrooms will not be
continued with the new plan for expansion. Instead, a more sensitive
approach will be used, where 2-3 story structures will be built into the
hillside, allowing walk-outs at-grade for classrooms. Two site sections
have been provided to describe the relationship of the proposed
structures to the grade. (Attachments E and F) There are existing
critical slopes on the site that the applicant is proposing to impact and
a critical slopes waiver is attached. (Attachment G)
The applicant is proposing to use low impact design techniques and
biofilters. Sheet SP-03 of the Concept Plan in Attachment H illustrates
the conceptual stormwater management strategies, utilities and tree
conservation. This principle is met.
Parks and Open The redesign of the school campus will provide intentionally designed
Space open space on the site with the central lawn, gardens, and
playgrounds on the campus. The applicant has noted that the site is a
Certified Audubon Sanctuary and the school is careful in maintaining
native plant and wildlife habitat. Woods, nature trails, orchard, and
gardens are proposed along the northern property line to enhance the
site with new landscaping and vegetation. This principle is met.
Mixture of Housing No residential uses are proposed but a variety of residential uses are
Types and located nearby with Fontana and the proposed Pavilions town homes
Affordability adjacent. This principle is met.
Redevelopment This proposal represents redevelopment of the site to better
accommodate the school use with an improved layout, landscaping,
and additional square footage, while keeping the school centrally
located in the Pantops Development Area.
Clear Boundaries with This project is located central to the Pantops Development Area.
the Rural Areas
Staff finds that the proposed Concept Plan for redevelopment of the Montessori Community School campus
appropriately address the 12 Principles of the Neighborhood Model.
SP 2006-038 Montessori School 5
PC 2/13/07 BOS 3/14/07
5T AFF COMMENT
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits provided for in this ordinance may be issued upon a
finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property,
The proposed buildings and new campus plan to accommodate the existing school are not
expected to have any impact on adjacent properties and the use is considered compatible with
adjacent uses.
As part of the review of the special use permit request, the need for additional setbacks or buffering
beyond those required in the Zoning Ordinance Section 21.7 for CO zoned property is considered to
address any impacts to adjacent properties. (see below) There is R-6 zoned property adjacent to the
Montessori School to the north/northwest where a townhouse development called Pavilions is proposed.
A final site plan (SDP 06-43) is under review for that project. Staff does not feel that there is a need for
additional requirements for setbacks and buffering beyond that which is provided for on the proposed
Concept Plan. The Concept Plan, if approved as proposed, requires a waiver of the required buffer
zoned adjacent to the residential district to allow for trails. This waiver is recommended to achieve the
concept plan and is discussed in the Waivers section of the report.
21.7 MINIMUM YARD REQUIREMENTS
21. 7.1 Adjacent to public streets: No portion of any structure, except signs, shall be erected closer than
thirty (30) feet to any public street right-of-way. No off-street parking or loading space shall be
located closer than ten (10) feet to any public street right-of- way. (Amended 7-10-85; 7-8-92)
21. 7.2 Adjacent to residential and rural areas districts: No portion of any structure, excluding signs, shall
be located closer than fifty (50) feet to any residential or rural areas district. No off-street parking
or loading space shall be located closer than twenty (20) feet to any residential or rural areas
district. (Amended 7-10-85; 7-8-92)
21.7.3 Buffer zone adjacent to residential and rural areas districts: No construction activity including
grading or clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than twenty (20) feet to any residential or rural
areas district. Screening shall be provided as required in section 32.7.9. (Amended 9-9-92)
Except, the commission may waive this requirement in a particular case where it has been
demonstrated that grading or clearing is necessary or would result in an improved site design,
provided that:
a. Minimum screening requirements are met; and
b. Existing landscaping in excess of minimum requirements is substantially restored. (Added 7-
10-85)
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and
There will be site development changes and new buildings on the property. No intensification in land
use is expected The Architectural Review Board will ensure that the appearance of buildings and
landscaping visible from Route 250 are in keeping with the Entrance Corridor guidelines for
improvements. An ARB application was submitted as part of the SP and the ARB reviewed and
provided advisory comments to the Planning Commission at their meeting on February 5,2007. The
ARB did no have any objections to the proposed concept plan and offered the following comments,
which planning staff feels can be addressed at the site plan stage:
1. There is insufficient information to comment on architectural design, compatibility of scale, or the impact of
blankness in building design on the EC.
SP 2006-038 Montessori School
PC 2/13/07 80S 3/14/07

.
2. Regarding fencing:
a. Remove the existing chain link and wooden fence that parallels the EC and remove the length of
chain link fence on the west side of the site that extends from the southwest corner of the site 160'
north to the "wooded area to remain" shown on the concept plan; and
b. Add a black picket style fence, or alternate style fence as approved by the ARB, along the side of the
site that parallels the EC, and extend it from the southwest corner of the site 160' north to the
"wooded area to remain" shown on the concept plan, and
c. This fence removal and replacement shall be accomplished as part of Phase 1 construction or by the
end of August 2008, whichever is sooner.
3. Regarding the inconsistencies in the submittal regarding landscaping:
a. Coordinate the proposal regarding the wooded area at Building E; clarify if the trees in this area are to
remain or are to be replaced.
b. Include in each phase of construction the proposed landscaping adjacent to the area of construction.
4. No building shall be constructed higher than t~e existing administration building.
that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
The Commercial Office (CO) Zoning District was created to establish a zone that provides for
administrative, business, and professional offices and supportive accessory uses and facilities.
It is intended to act as a transition between residential districts and other more intensive
commercial and industrial districts. Private schools are allowed by special use permit in this
district.
The Montessori School is consistent with this purpose and intent and provides an appropriate
transitional use, along with the adjacent American Legion, between the more intensive
commercial uses to the west and the adjoining residential uses.
.
with uses permitted by right in the district,
Uses permitted by-right in the CO Zoning District include offices and institutions, churches,
libraries, museums, and child care facilities. This private school is similar to many other
institutional uses and child care facilities allowed by-right in the zoning district.
with the additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance,
There are no additional regulations in Section 5.0 relating to private schools.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
The public health, safety, and general welfare of the community is protected through the special
use permit process which assures that the proposed uses are appropriate in the location
requested. The Fire Marshall, Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) and VDOT have
provided comments.
The Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) has indicated that water and sewer service is
adequately available for the proposed use and the site is currently served with both water and
sewer. The Fire Marshall has reviewed the plan and has no concerns to the proposal, noting
that when the phases of construction begin, they will make field visits to ensure adequate
access is being maintained. Adequate fire flow will also be verified during phases of site
development plan approvals.
Regarding transportation, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has commented
that the recent improvements to the entrance and Rolkin Road are adequate for this use;
improvements have included alignment of Rolkin Road, turning lanes, sidewalks, and
signalization.
SP 2006-038 Montessori School

.
Staff has identified the need to ensure adequate fencing for safety on the site. Due to its proximity to
Route 250 and Rolkin Road the fencing of the Lower Elementary Playground should be required during
the special use permit. Potentially the Central Lawn should also have fencing adjacent to Route 250 to
address safety. A condition of approval is recommended to address this issue and the specifications
recommended are those provided by the Building Official for fencing of swimming pools.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this application:
1. The private school will continue to provide expanded educational opportunities to the
community.
2. The Land Use Plan suggests residential and residentially supportive uses in this area of
Pantops.
3. There will be no detrimental impacts on surrounding properties.
Additionally, staff notes that there is a zoning violation on the property regarding fencing;
however, the applicant is currently working to abate the violation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Based on the findings contained in this staff report, staff recommends approval of Special Use
Permit 2006-38 with the following conditions, which replace those previously approved:
1. Maximum enrollment shall be 300 students.
2. The site shall be developed in general accord with the plan entitled "Montessori Pantops
Mountain Community School Sheets SP01-SP-03", prepared by Neal R. Deputy,
Architecture & Master Planning, last revised January 16, 2007.
3. Fencing shall be provided at a minimum around the perimeter of the Central Lawn,
Lower Elementary Playground, and Children's House Playground, or at other locations
as required by the County to ensure safety of children adjacent to Route 250 and Rolkin
Road. Final design of the fence shall be subject to review and approval by the
Architectural Review Board. However, to address safety concerns, the fence details
shall include:
· At least 48" tall
· No more than a 2" gap under the fence
· Openings shall be small enough that a 4" sphere will not pass through
· No ornamental indentations that can be usedas a ladder
· Maximum mesh size for chain link fences is 2-1/4"
· Maximum mesh size for diagonal lattice fences is 1-3/4"
Conditions approved with Special Use Permit 99-04 are provided for information below, marked up
to show recommended changes and staff comments:
1. Modul::ir units which are not subject to Arohiteotur::il Review BO::ird I\RB appro'lal will be a shade of
groen closely matohing Pine needle in color ::ind design '....ith the modular units in the photographs
shown ::it the PI::inning Commission meeting ::md att::iched to the report.
This condition is not necessary. The applicant has not provided architectural details of the proposed
buildings and the ARB will address that with the site development plans.
2. Enrollment will be limited to not more than students 300 students.

This condition is not necessary and there are no retaining walls proposed.
5. Approval of the conoeptual plan does not oonstitute approval of the design or appearanoe of
modular structures. I\ny buildings oonstructed in the Entrance Corridor must meet requirements of
the Arohiteotural Revie'N Board.
This condition is not needed because ARB is a requirement of the Ordinance.
WAIVERS
CRITICAL SLOPES WAIVER
The applicant has submitted a request for modification of Section 18-4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance and
provided all pertinent analysis and information in their request which is attached. (Attachment H) Critical
slopes, which are slopes greater than 25%, on the site are located primarily around the perimeter of the site
and would be disturbed for the parking area and ball field. The areas of critical slopes are illustrated on
Sheet SP-03 of the concept plan provided as Attachment H. These critical slopes are not identified in the
Open Space Plan for protection.
Recommended Action:
There are no engineering concerns with the critical slopes waiver request. Staff recommends approval of this
modification of Section 4.2.3.
WAIVER OF SECTION 21.7.3-20 FOOT BUFFER ZONE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAURURAL
DISTRICTS
Section 21.7.3 of the Ordinance requires a 20 foot undisturbed buffer adjacent to residential zoning districts.
The concept plan submitted with the special use permit requires a modification of Section 21.7.3 to allow
removal of vegetation for nature trials and some passive recreation areas adjacent to the R-6 Zoned
property line to the north of the site. This is illustrated on Sheet SP-01 of the Concept Plan provided as
Attachment H. This area is noted on the plan to be reforested with a deciduous/evergreen mix of Piedmont
specific vegetation. Screening must be provided in accordance with Section 32.7.9.5 below.
21.7.3 Buffer zone adjacent to residential and rural areas districts: No construction activity including
grading or clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than twenty (20) feet to any residential or rural
areas district. Screening shall be provided as required in section 32.7.9. Except, the commission may waive this
requirement in a particular case where it has been demonstrated that grading or clearing is necessary or would result in an
improved site design, provided that:
a. Minimum screening requirements are met; and
b. Existing landscaping in excess of minimum requirements is substantially restored. (Added T-
10-85)
32.7.9.8 SCREENING
The following requirements shall apply to screening:
a. When required, screening shall consist of a planting strip, existing vegetation, a slightly
opaque wall or fence, or combination thereof, to the reasonable satisfaction of the agent.
Where only vegetative screening is provided, such screening strip shall not be less than
SP 2006-038 Montessori School
PC 2/13/07 BOS 3/14/07

twenty (20) feet in depth. Vegetative screening shall consist ofa double staggered row of
evergreen trees planted fifteen (15) feet on center, or a double staggered row of evergreen
shrubs planted ten (10) feet on center. Alternate methods of vegetative screening may be
approved by the agent. Where a fence or wall is provided, it shall be a minimum of six
(6) feet in height and plantings may be required at intervals along such fence or wall.
(32.8.6.1,7-10-85; Amended 5-1-87)
b. Screening of parking lots shall not be counted toward the interior landscaping
requirement. When screening is required along the frontage of public streets, the agent
shall determine if the street tree requirement has been met. (32.8.6.2, 7-10-85)
c. Screening shall be required in the following instances:
I. Commercial and industrial uses shall be screened from adjacent residential and
rural areas districts. (32.8.6.3.a, 7-10-85)
2. Parking lots consisting offour (4) spaces or more shall be screened from
adjacent residential and rural areas districts. (32.8.6.3.b, 7-10-85; Amended 5-1-
87)
3. Objectionable features including, but not limited to, the following uses shall be
screened from adjacent residential and rural areas districts and public streets:
- loading areas
- refuse areas
- storage yards
- detention ponds
- recreational facilities determined to be of objectionable character by the agent
other than children's play areas where visibility is necessary or passive
recreation areas where visibility is desirable. (32.8.6.3.c.5, 7-10-85; Amended
5-1-87)
4. Double frontage residential lots shall be screened between the rear of the
residences and the public right-of-way when deemed appropriate by the agent.
(32.8.6.3.d, 7-10-85; Amended 5-1-87)
5. The agent may require screening of any use, or portion thereof, upon
determination that the use would otherwise have a negative visual impact on a
property listed on the Virginia Historic Landmarks Register. (32.8.6.3.f, 7-10-
85; Amended 5-1-87)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the waiver of Section 21.7.3 to allow construction activity including
grading or clearing of vegetation closer than twenty (20) feet to the adjoining residential property
line, in accordance with the concept plan provided as Attachment H. Provided that:
1. Screening requirements of Section 32.7.9.8 are met.

MONTESSORI PANTOPS MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY SCHOOL - REQUEST OF MODIFICATION OF
SECTION 4.2 TO ALLOW ACTIVITY ON CRITICAL SLOPES.
The proposed site plan for the Montessori Pantops Mountain Community School seeks to
impact locations of existing critical slopes. These impacts are proposed within areas
where existing critical slopes are the result of previous mass grading rather than natural
areas where no previous development has occurred. The following diagram indicates
areas of critical slopes within the limits of site disturbance.

Exhibit 1: Areas of Critical Slope Disturbance
Montessori Pantops Critical Slopes Waiver Request_1-16-07
18'
DescrlDtlon of critical sloDe area and DroDosed disturbance
Of the 6.71 acres that encompass the site, there are approximately 42,685 sf (.97 acres)
of critical slopes. Approximately 20,096 sf (.46 acres) of the critical slope area are within
the limits of disturbance.
As apparent in the above diagram, very little of the encroachment into critical slopes is
occurring where buildings are proposed. The primary areas of disturbance are adjacent
to the proposed and required parking lot and adjacent to the proposed ball court. The
majority of critical slopes is outside the limits of disturbance and will not be impacted by
the proposed development.
Areas
Total site 6.71 acres
Critical slopes .97 acres I 14% of site area
Critical slopes disturbed .46 I Less than 48% of critical slopes
EXDlanatlon for reauest for critical sloDes waiver
The following concerns regarding waivers for critical slopes are addressed below:
"Movement of soil and rock"
The critical slopes in question were created as a result of grading that had
occurred prior. As such, the proposed disturbance is unlikely to cause movement
of soil and rock beyond what is occurring presently.
"Excessive stormwater runoff" and "siltation"
The proposed development will include the construction of bioretention areas
and other facilities to mitigate excessive stormwater runoff and siltation. Most of
the proposed regrading is part of this low impact strategy.
"Loss of aesthetic resource"
The areas of critical slopes are not currently considered an aesthetic resource.
The proposed renovation and expansion of the existing facilities and site
development will only enhance the aesthetics of the existing site.
"Septic effluent"
The area of development is within the County's existing sewer system.

special use permit (15 units/ acre)
SECTION: 22.2.2(5) and 5.1.11

TAX MAP/PARCEL: TMP 78-58G3
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Rivanna
CHARACTER OF THE AREA
The veterinary hospital is proposed within a two-story office building under construction at
Rivers Edge Office Park. There is an existing three-story office building located to the rear of
the office park, adjacent to Free Bridge Lane and the Rivanna River. The proposed
Charlottesville Power Equipment and McDonald's are located south of the property. The
property located to the north of this site is undeveloped. To the east, across Stony Point road,
are commercial uses and adjoining at the northeast corner is a residential property (TMP 78-
58G1). (Attachments A-Aerial, Attachment B-Land Use, Attachment C-Zoning)
SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing a veterinary hospital within the 3,300 square foot ground floor of a
6,600 total square foot office building that is currently under construction. (Attachment D-Photo
of building under construction) The applicant has indicated that there will be minimal outdoor
activity, with occasional dog walking but no other outdoor activities or kennels. Operating hours
are proposed between 7:30am and 6:00pm, Monday through Friday and 7:30-12:00pm on
Saturdays. The expected number of employees will be 6-8, and there may be additional interns
or summer employees. There will be no boarding services provided, except for those animals at
the vet for treatment. A proposed floor plan is provided as Attachment E.
PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY
The 1.32-acre site of the proposed vet building, along with most of Rivers Edge Office Park has
been designated C-1 Zoning since 1980 and commercially prior to that. The site plan for the
proposed vet office building was approved June 2006 and this site plan showing the building for
vet use is provided as Attachment F.

CONFORMITY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Land Use Plan-
The property is located in Pantops, Neighborhood 3 of the Development Area, and is designated
Regional Service in the current Land Use Plan. Uses allowed within this designation include regional-
scale commercial, regional malls, medical centers, mixed-use developments, hotel/motel/conference
facilities, professional and corporate offices, interstate interchange developments and uses providing
retail, wholesale, business, and/or employment services to Albemarle County and the region. A
veterinary use at this location, within an approved office park, would be an appropriate use based on
this land use designation.
Neighborhood Model-
The special use permit request is for a vet use within an already approved office building and no site
development changes are proposed. The property was developed under its by-right Commercial zoning.
As this is within an existing development rather than new development, staff has not undertaken an
analysis in relation to the 12 Principles of the Neighborhood Model. Staff notes that there is an internal
sidewalk system that will provide for pedestrian cO'1nections within the site and is tied to the sidewalk on
Route 20.
STAFF COMMENT
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits provided for in this ordinance may be issued upon a
finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property,
There is no expected detriment to adjoining properties and the supplemental regulations in
Section 5.1.11 of the Zoning Ordinance discussed below address potential impacts unique to a
vet use, such as noise affecting nearby residential properties or compatibility with other
adjacent commercial uses.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and
There will be no change to the commercial character of the district as there are no proposed
site development changes or new buildings on the property to accommodate this use.
Applicable supplemental regulations have been addressed.
that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
The C-1 Zoning District was established to permit selected retail sales, service and public use
establishments, including offices, restaurants and other service uses. The proposed vet at this location
is consistent with this district.
with uses permitted by-right in the district,
There is the potential for conflicts between vet uses and other by-right uses in the C-1 Zoning
District, which why is this use is by special use permit and there are supplemental regulations
required by the ordinance. Based on the location of the vet within the building, proposed
entrances and exits, and location of any limited outdoor activity that may take place, there are
no anticipated conflicts with other by-right uses at Rivers Edge.

.
with the additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance,
Section 5.1.11 is applicable to the proposed vet use and each regulation is addressed below.
The applicant has not proposed any modifications to these requirements, as may be granted by
the Planning Commission.
Section 5.1.11 COMMERCIAL KENNEL, VETERINARY SERVICE, OFFICE OR HOSPITAL, ANIMAL
HOSPITAL, ANIMAL SHEL TER Each commercial kennel, veterinary and animal hospital shall be
subject to the following:
a. Except where animals are confined in soundproofed, air-conditioned buildings, no structure
or area occupied by animals shall be closer than five hundred (500) feet to any agricultural or
residential lot line. For non-soundproofed animal confinements, an external solid fence not less
than six (6) feet in height shall be located within fifty (50) feet of the animal confinement and
shall be composed of concrete block, brick, or other material approved by the zoning
administrator; (Amended 11-15-89)
Animals will be confined to the building while receiving treatment at the vet.
b. For soundproofed confinements, no such structure shall be located closer than two hundred
(200) feet to any agricultural or residential lot line. For soundproofed confinements, noise
measured at the nearest agricultural or residential property line shall not exceed fifty-five (55)
decibels; (Amended 11-15-89; 6-14-00)
The building in which the vet would be located is more than 200 feet from the adjoining residential lot
line to the northeast. The vet will be located within the ground level of the building, mostly within the
hillside, and based on the type of construction the noise level requirements will be met. The residential
property line is across Route 20 and, with the existing topography and traffic on Route 20, noise from
the vet should not be an issue.
c.ln all cases, animals shall be confined in an enclosed building from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
(Amended 11-15-89; 6-14-00)
The applicant has indicated that this requirement will be met based on proposed business hours, by
appointment, between 7:30a.m. and 6:00p.m. There would be no outdoor activity outside these hours.
d. In areas where such uses may be in proximity to other uses involving intensive activity such
as shopping centers or other urban density locations, special attention is required to protect the
public health and welfare. To these ends the commission and board may require among other
things: (Amended 11-15-89)
-Separate building entrance and exit to avoid animal conflicts;
(Added 11-15-89)
The applicant is proposing separate entrances and exits from their level of the building and they will be
separate from the upper level tenant; this is also a recommended condition of approval.
-Area for outside exercise to be exclusive from access by the public by fencing or other
means. (Added 11-15-89)
SP 2006-039 Pantops Veterinary Clinic
PC 2/13107 BOS 3/14107

The applicant has explained that there is not a need for the proposed vet business to have a defined
fenced-in area as the only outdoor activity will be occasional walking of dogs. Nevertheless, staff feels
that the area of outdoor activity should be specified with the special use permit and has recommended a
condition of approval that separates this activity from public access.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
The public health, safety, and general welfare of the community are protected through the
special use permit process which assures that the proposed uses are appropriate in the
location requested. The Fire Marshall and Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) offered
no additional comments, having provided site plan approval. VDOT provided comments and
identified that the veterinary use is a slightly higher trip generator than the previously proposed
office use at this site. VDOT also noted the needed off-site improvements at the intersection of
Route 250 and Route 20, along with widening Route 20. However, the minimal additional
anticipated impacts from the proposed veterinary use are not substantial enough to warrant
mitigation of these off-site needs.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this application:
1. The Land Use Plan is supportive of the vet use.
2. The vet use will be located in the ground level of the building and separated from surrounding
uses.
3. There will be no detrimental impacts on surrounding properties.
Staff has identified not identified unfavorable factors to this application.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Based on the findings contained in this staff report, staff recommends approval of Special Use
Permit 2006-39 with the following conditions:
1. The plan shows the building to be 3,300 square feet. Any additional square footage of the veterinary
office and hospital use will require an amendment to this Special Use Permit (SP-2006-00039).
2. No overnight boarding use, other than for those animals under medical care shall take place at the
veterinary hospital.
3. The building shall be sound-proofed and air-conditioned.
4. The outside area for walking of animals shall be separated from access by the public and shall be
limited to the flood plain area adjacent to the building as identified in Attachment F.
5. A separate entrance and exit shall be provided for the clinic in accordance with Section 5.1.11 d;
6. No outdoor exercise area shall be permitted.

establishment ofa new local ABC television affiliate. This is the facility that is the subiect of this
request. The tower and equipment building have been constructed.
SP 05-014 Crown Orchard - Gray Television - On August 3, 2005, the Board of Supervisors
approved the request to amend the conditions of SP 04-003 in order to allow the placement of an
additional antenna on the tower. This is the facility that is the subiect of this request.
DISCUSSION:
As mentioned above, SP 04-003 approved installation of a new 149- foot tall tower with a 40-1/2 foot tall
antenna rod extending from its top as a replacement of an existing tower. At that time, the proposed
configuration was for the top-mounted antenna (Channel 19, CBS), a side-mounted antenna rod
(Channel 16, ABC), five (5) dishes, and two (2) Y AGI antennae. Subsequently, SP 05-014 was
approved as an amendment to allow the relocation of a FOX antenna (Channel 27) from an adjacent
tower (known as the PBS tower), for a total of one top-mounted antenna and two side mounted antennae.
Due to technical difficulties and a delay with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permitting,
the applicant delayed the relocation ofthis FOX antenna, and instead added an additional Channel 16
antenna in its place, in order to facilitate a transfer from analog to digital broadcast. The FCC has
3
moved forward with a requirement that all television stations broadcast using only a digital signal by
January 1, 2009.
The applicant still intends to pursue the original purpose ofSP 05-014, which was to accommodate the
relocation of the FOX antenna. Thus, this proposal requests an amendment to Condition #1 ofSP 05-
014 in order to substitute a new drawing in place of the "schematic drawings initialed YQA and dated
June 16, 2005". The new configuration would reflect a very similar configuration. However, the
previously approved Channel 27 antenna (FOX analog broadcast) will be replaced with the already
installed digital Channel 16 antenna. In addition, the Channel 16 analog antenna will be replaced with a
Channel 40 digital antenna (the FOX digital broadcast). At no time will more than three antennae (one
top-mounted and two side-mounted) be in place. In addition, one previously approved dish antenna will
be removed and a "tower earn" will be located.
As briefly summarized above, changes in legislation and technology continually necessitate changes in
equipment. Thus, the applicant also proposes to add a statement to Condition #1 in order to facilitate
small changes without the need to arnend the SP each time. The proposed new condition is "The facility
including the tower and its attachments [and ground equipment] building shall be sized, located and built
in general accord with the tower elevations and antenna schematic drawing dated October 20, 2006,
except as may be modified by like or similar antenna and other equipment, which such antenna and other
equipment may be smaller in size, and provided that no additional antenna or other equipment (other
than the existing Channel 19 antenna) is mounted above the top of the tower."
The last proposed change is to Condition #10 ofSP 05-041. The previously approved language requires
that "The existing Gray TV antenna on the PBS tower located on Tax Map 91, Parcel28E shall be
removed within 90 days after the new antenna authorized by this special use permit is operational." Due
to the requirement for digital broadcasting, the applicant no longer intends to relocate the FOX analog
antenna that is currently located on the PBS tower. Instead, they will be replacing it with a digital
antenna on the "new" tower. Thus, the change would allow the operation of both antennae temporarily.
The proposed language is "The existing Gray TV antenna on the PBS tower located on Tax Map 91,
Parcel 28E shall be removed on or before August 1, 2007".
ANALYSIS OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST:
Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance below requires that special use permits be reviewed as
follows:
Will the use be of substantial detriment to adiacent property?
As a result of the antenna's location on an existing tower with similar facilities, it is staffs opinion
that the proposal would not impose any additional substantial detriment to adjacent property. None
ofthe proposed changes will increase the height or visual impact of the tower.
Will the character of the zoninf! district chanf!e with this use?
There are three existing television broadcasting antennae on this tower. The reorientation of these
antennae should not impact the character of the district.
Will the use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoninf! ordinance?
Staffhas reviewed this request as it relates to the "purpose and intent" that is set forth in Section 1.4
of the Zoning Ordinance, and as it relates to the intent specified in the Rural Areas chapter of the
Zoning Ordinance (Section 10.1). Generally, this request is consistent with both sections.
4
.
Will the use be in harmony with the uses permitted by rh!:ht in the district?
The location of this tower is within a "tower farm" on Carter's Mountain that has been in continual
operation since 1978. An orchard continues to operate in and around these towers. It is not
anticipated that any of the proposed amendments to this tower will restrict or any other by-right uses
within the Rural Areas district.
Will the use comply with the additional ree.ulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance?
Section 5 contains no additional regulations for this type of request.
Although television broadcasts are not provided by public utility companies, the supporting facilities
that they both implement are often comparable. Section 5.1.12(a) of the Zoning Ordinance addresses
the installation of public utility structures such as towers and antennas by stating, in part, that those
items shall not endanger the health and safety of workers and/or residents, and will not impair or
prove detrimental to neighboring properties. In order to operate this facility, the applicant is required
to comply with all ofthe Federal Communication Commission (FCC) guidelines that are intended to
protect the public health and safety from high levels of radio frequency emissions and
electromagnetic fields that are associated with wireless broadcasting and telecommunications
facilities.
.
Will the public health. safety and e.eneral welfare of the community be protected if the use is
approved?
The public health, safety, and general welfare of the community are protected through the special use
permit process, which assures that uses approved by special use permit are appropriate in the location
requested. In this case, as television broadcasts provide various forms of information such as public
affairs issues, emergency announcements and weather advisories, with the capability for broadcasting
live, they may be considered as contributing to the public health, safety and welfare on a regional
level.
SUMMARY OF STAFF REVIEW OF SP 06-041:
Approval ofthis proposal would allow the applicant to proceed with plans to complete the transfer ofthe
FOX antenna from the PBS tower to this tower as previously approved and to finish the necessary
improvements to enable the ABC affiliate and FOX affiliate to begin digital broadcast. Further
amendments to the previous action would allow small changes to occur on the tower without subsequent
review. In all cases, the tower would have a maximum of three antennae and would not exceed the
previously approved height restriction.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends approval ofthe proposed amendments, with the resultant conditions as follows:
1. The facility including the tower, its attachments and the flew ground equipment building shall
be sized, located and built in general accord with the construction plans, tower elevations and
schematic drawings initialed SBW and dated May 5, 2004 and initialed YQA and dated June 16,
~ revised tower elevations and antenna schematic drawing dated October 20. 2006 and
initialed DEP. subject to maximum height and width restrictions in conditions three (3) and five
(5), except as may be modified by like or similar antenna and other equipment. which such
antenna and other equipment may be smaller in size. and provided that no additional antenna or
other equipment (other than the existing Channel 19 antenna) is mounted above the top of the
tower.
2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit the final revised set of site
drawings construction of the facility. Planning staff shall review the revised plans to ensure that
all appropriate conditions of the special use permit have been addressed.
.

Special Use Permit Application
To Amend Condition #1 and Condition #10 of SP 2005-014
How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
The proposed use will not adversely affect adjacent property, as the proposed equipment is
unlikely to be visible from adjacent property. The height of the tower will not increase, the type
and size equipment to be installed is very similar to that equipment currently on the tower, and
the tower is located in an area that is well established with similar uses.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district(s) surrounding the
property?
The proposed use will not have an adverse impact on the character of the district surrounding the
property. The proposal will not increase the number of towers or the height of the existing
tower, nor will it increase the visibility of the existing tower and or its attached equipment.
The proposal is to replace an existing flush-mounted antenna on an existing tower with a new
flush-mounted antenna and to keep a currently mounted antenna up for an extended period of
time. No new tower is needed for the additional equipment. Thus, no adverse impact will occur
on the character of the district surrounding the property. This area is well established with a
number oftelecommunication facilities. Because no new tower will be built, the proposed use
will not increase traffic or generate any additional development in the area.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance?
The maintenance of multiple antennas on the two existing towers is consistent with the Zoning
Ordinance's goal of promoting health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the public, in
that it will enable Gray Television, Inc. to provide digital ABC and FOX affiliate stations to the
citizens of Albemarle County and the surrounding broadcast area.
How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by-right in the district?
The proposed facility will not restrict the current uses or other by-right uses available at this
property or the by-right uses on any other property.
What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply to this
use?
None.
How will this use promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community?
The proposed facility will provide digital ABC and FOX affiliate stations which will promote the
public health and safety of the community. It will also promote the general welfare of the
I

ATTACHMENT B
community by expanding and improving coverage for the local ABC and FOX affiliates and it
will enable Gray Television to comply with upcoming regulatory requirements of the FCC.
Describe your request in detail and include all pertinent information such as the number of
persons involved in the use, operating hours, and any unique features of the use.
Backeround:
Gray Television, Inc. ("Gray Television" or "Gray") is requesting amendments to SP 2005-014
because the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") requires that television stations
broadcast using only a digital signal by February 1, 2009. There are two methods by which a
television station can accomplish this change from analog to digital broadcasting. One method is
commonly referred to in the industry as a "flash cut." This method involves essentially turning
off the analog antenna and turning on the digital antenna while continuing to broadcast on the
same channel. The change results in a period of off-air time for the channel. The second method
of transitioning from analog to digital broadcasting involves using a "digital companion
channel." lbis method uses one channel solely for analog broadcast and another channel solely
for digital broadcast. These two channels can be broadcast at the same time and either antenna
can be independently turned off, thereby stopping the broadcast of one entire channel. Thus,
when the February 1,2009 FCC deadline for all stations to broadcast using digital signals is
reached, the analog channel can be ''turned off' while the digital channel remains on the air. The
use of a digital companion channel requires having two antennas installed and broadcasting
simultaneously; one for the analog signal, and a second for the digital signal.
Gray Television requests an amendment to the conditions of approval ofSP 2005-014, which the
Board of Supervisors approved on August 3, 2005. SP 2005-014 amended condition #1 ofSP
2004-03 which the Board of Supervisors approved on June 2, 2004, and which permitted Gray to
replace an existing tower on Carter's Mountain with a slightly shorter tower. A copy ofthe
approval letter for SP 2005-014 is attached hereto as Exhibit "A." A copy of the exhibits
approved with SP 2005-014, showing the structure and. organization of antenna and dishes, is
shown on the attached Exhibit "B." SP 2005-014 permitted Gray Television to add a third
antenna to the existing Gray Television tower to enable Gray Television to broadcast its FOX
affiliate television station on Channel 27. The additional permitted antenna is labeled as
"Channel 27" on the left side of the tower on Exhibit "B."
Due to a delay in installing the new Channel 27 antenna on the Gray Television tower, Gray
Television proceeded with the installation of a slightly smaller antenna in its place. Because of
the approaching FCC deadline to broadcast in digital, Gray elected to install in the interim an
antenna to support its digital broadcast of its Channel 16 ABS affiliate. Gray will use the "flash-
cut" method for converting the ABC Channel 16 station to digital. This Channel 16 digital
antenna, which is slightly smaller than the originally-proposed Channel 27 analog antenna, is
shown on Exhibit "F." The installation of the Channel 16 ABC digital antenna resulted in the
location of the CBS Channel 19, ABC Channel 16 digital and ABC Channel 16 analog antenna
simultaneously on the Gray Television tower. The installation of this Channel 16 digital antenna
resulted in the Gray Television tower being substantially similar to Exhibit "B", which was
,D
2
ATTACHMENT B
.
approved by SP 2005-014. However, at no time have there been more than three antennas on the
Gray Television tower.
Although the Channel 16 ABC digital antenna is mounted on the tower, it is not currently
operational. In the meantime, Gray must soon begin broadcasting a digital signal for its FOX
affiliate station. Because Gray will utilize a digital companion channel station for its FOX
affiliate station to achieve FCC compliance rather than a "flash-cut" method, as planned for the
ABC Channel 16 station, it will soon need to install a digital antenna for the FOX station. The
digital companion channel for the FOX affiliate will be Channel 40.
In the near future, Gray Television will be replacing the non-operational ABC Channel 16 digital
antenna with a FOX Channel 40 antenna which will result in having the CBS Channel 19, ABC
Channel 16 analog, and FOX Channel 40 digital antenna simultaneously on the Gray Television
tower as is shown on Exhibit "C." Again, at no time will there be more than three antennas on
the Gray Television tower. The FOX Channel 27 analog antenna will remain on the tower
owned by Central Virginia Public Television (the "PBS Tower") where it has been located for
many years.
Proposed Amendments to Condition #1
.
The applicant is proposing two amendments to Condition #1 ofSP 2005-014. The first permits
Gray Television to configure the tower substantially similar to the attached Exhibit "D." The
second provides Gray Television with the flexibility to make minor changes to the tower
configuration to keep up with changing technology without having to amend the special permit
conditions each time.
A. Tower Configuration.
Condition #1 permits Gray Television to make additions to the existing Gray Television tower in
accordance with the construction plans that were attached as Attachment G to the SP 2005-014
staffreport (which plans are now attached hereto as Exhibit "B"). Gray Television is proposing
and requesting approval of the configuration of antenna and dishes as shown on the diagram
attached hereto as Exhibit "D" except as may be modified by like or similar antenna and other
equipment, provided that such antenna and other equipment shall be reasonably similar in size
and number, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, and provided that no additional antenna
or other equipment (other than the existing Channel 19 antenna) is mounted above the top of the
tower.
Gray Television owns and operates the ABC affiliate station, Channel 16. Channel 16 will be
using the "flash cut" method as described above. In accordance with the "flash cut" method,
Gray Television will be turning off the Channel 16 analog antenna, removing it from the tower
and replacing it with the Channel 16 digital antenna. The Channel 16 digital antenna would then
be activated and the Channel 16 digital signal will be broadcast.
Gray Television's FOX affiliate station is also subject to the FCC requirement to broadcast by a
digital signal by February 1,2009. To comply with the 2009 deadline for digital broadcasting,
.
3
J I
ATTACHMENT B
Gray Television intends to implement the digital companion channel for its FOX affiliate rather
than using the "flash cut" method that it will use for its ABC Channel 16 affiliate. The FOX
digital companion channel will be Channel 40. Gray Television is proposing to install the
Channel 40 digital antenna on the Gray Television tower in place of the currently installed
Channel 16 digital antenna. This installation will result in the location of the Channel 19,
Channel 16 analog antenna, and Channel 40 digital antenna simultaneously on the Gray
Television tower as shown on Exhibit "D." The installation ofa third antenna on the Gray
Television tower is already permitted by SP 2005-014.
The proposed Channel 40 digital antenna would be mounted at the height of 148 feet as shown
on Exhibit "D", the same mounting height permitted for the Channel 27 antenna pursuant to SP
2005-014. The length of the proposed Channel 40 digital antenna is 22.21 feet, which is 11.6
feet shorter than the Channel 27 antenna described in SP 2005-014. The antenna will be
mounted on a pipe rod that will be flush-mounted to the tower leg. A diagram of the proposed
Channel 40 antenna is included with this application as Exhibit "E."
No other equipment would need to be attached to the Gray Television tower to accommodate the
digital antenna for Channel 40. In addition, all ground equipment necessary to support all ofthe
FOX and ABC affiliate antennas will be located within the existing Gray Television equipment
shelter located at the base of the tower that was built pursuant to SP 2004-003.
B. Flexibilitv.
The technology for broadcasting television stations is continually evolving. As a result, Gray
Television will need to occasionally modify the antenna and satellite dishes located on the
existing Gray Television tower to accommodate technological advances and other broadcasting
needs. Granting Gray Television the limited ability to modify antenna and dishes to keep up
with changes in technology and respond to industry requirements and demands will increase
public reception and increase the broadcast area, and thereby benefit the public as a whole. Gray
Television currently operates three network television stations. Having the ability to reasonably
modify and relocate small equipment on the tower, including antenna and dishes, without having
to obtain an amendment to the special use permit each time, will enhance Gray's ability to
respond to such technological advances and industry needs for the benefit of the community.
We propose that Condition #1 be reworded to provide the following, or something equivalent:
"The facility including the tower, its attachments and building shall be sized, located and built in
general accord with the tower elevations and antenna schematic drawing dated
. 2006, except as may be modified by like or similar antenna and other
equipment, provided that such antenna and other equipment shall be reasonably similar in size
and number, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, and provided that no additional
antenna or other equipment (other than the existing Channel 19 antenna) is mounted above the
top of the tower. "
Proposed Amendment to Condition #10
(2
4
ATTACHMENT B
.
.
.
Condition #10 ofSP 2005-014 provides that "the existing Gray TV antenna on the PBS tower
located on Tax Map 91, Parcel28E shall be removed within 90 days after the new antenna
authorized by this special use permit is operational." Gray Television now desires to modify this
condition to allow the Channel 27 Gray Television antenna on the PBS tower to remain on the
PBS tower until August 1, 2009.
Currently, Gray Television's Channel 27, the FOX affiliate, is broadcast using an analog signal
from an analog antenna mounted on the tower owned by Central Virginia Educational Television
located on Tax Map Parcel 71-28E (the "PBS Tower"). The conditions ofSP 2005-014 gave
Gray Television the right to add a Channel 27 antenna to the Gray Television tower. At the time,
Gray intended to install the Channel 27 antenna on the Gray Television tower and remove the
analog antenna from the PBS tower. However, due to technical reasons and FCC permitting
delays, Gray Television never installed the Channel 27 antenna on the Gray Television tower
and, as a result, has not removed the analog antenna from the PBS tower. Now the FCC's 2009
deadline to change all broadcasts to digital is approaching and the FOX station does not have its
digital antenna in place. As described above and shown on Exhibit "D", Gray Television is
proposing to use the companion channel method of converting from analog to digital and
installing the FOX Channel 40 digital antenna on the Gray Television tower.
Installation of the FOX Channel 40 digital antenna as described above will enable the FOX
affiliate to comply with the FCC digital broadcasting requirement. However, the companion
channel method results in having two stations broadcasting simultaneously for a period of time.
In Gray Television's circumstances, the FOX Channel 27 analog antenna on the PBS tower and
the proposed FOX Channel 40 digital antenna will be broadcasting simultaneously. Gray
Television intends to terminate all broadcasts from the FOX Channel 27 analog antenna by the
February 1, 2009 deadline, and to remove the antenna from the PBS Tower by August 1,2009.
As a result, Gray Television proposes to modify condition #10 to say, "The existing Gray TV
antenna on the PBS Tower located on Tax Map 91, Parcel28E shall be removed on or before
August 1,2009." The PBS Tower is located in a relatively isolated area on Carter's Mountain
area where it is far less visible from public roads and adjacent properties than are the other
towers on Carter's Mountain. As a result, it is unlikely that the public or any individual would
notice the continued existence ofthe FOX Channel 27 analog antenna on the PBS Tower, much
less that it would have an adverse impact on the character of the district, or any other negative
effect during this additional short period of time.
Summary
In summary, Gray Television is proposing a total ofthree amendments to SP 2005-014. For the
first amendment to Condition # 1, Gray Television proposes to configure the tower in a
substantially similar configuration as the attached Exhibit "D." The second proposed
amendment to Condition #1 provides Gray Television with the flexibility to make minor changes
to the tower configuration to keep up with changing technology. The third proposed amendment
is to Condition #10 which extends the period of time Gray Television may leave the antenna on
the PBS tower until August 1,2009.

Albemarle Board of Supervisors
Four Season Learning center has no objections to ACAC Day
school's request to upgrade their student count, but we have a
concern.
We have also applied for an increase of students at our Daycare in
Four Seasons Development area.
We want to make sure that the increase to ACAC Day school's
student does not hinder our chances for an upgrade as well. Our
concerns come to light because the ACAC location is within 300
yards of our business.
We simply don't want the increase to ACAC's student count to
weigh against our chance to upgrade as well and hope the approval
for ACAC has no negative affect on our application.
If the ACAC approval takes place before ours, we would like
some kind of written statement that this \vill not affect our
application for increase in student count for Four Season Learning
Center.
Sincerely, . 3/llt/.20()7
F our Season Learning Center.

development. This development includes single-family detached homes, town homes, and
apartments. The area where the school is located is in the recreational part of the complex near
parking, a playground, tennis courts, and a pool/health spa.
Plannina and Zonina Historv:
The original rezoning for the Four Seasons Development was approved in 1969, The
clubhouse was constructed in 1975. Two special use permits, SP1980-023 and SP1981-031,
were approved for a day care at this site with a maximum enrollment of 175 children. The
approval for the day care has expired. In 1984, the owner filed a rezoning application
(ZMA 1984-009) for condominiums and town homes. The Planning Commission recommended
denial of the project and the petition was withdrawn prior to public hearing by the Board. In
1985, another rezoning application (ZMA1985-015) was submitted. It requested permission to
expand the clubhouse by 25,500 square feet to allow for the recreational facilities in place
today. This space eventually became the ACAC facility.
After ACAC moved to Albemarle Square, the vacant building was converted into the
Charlottesville Catholic School. A rezoning application (ZMA 1998-004) was approved in May
1998 to allow for day care by-right and private schools by special use permit. The rezoning also
contained proffers which restricted the commercial (C-1) and commercial office (CO) activities
permitted. The special use permit (SP1998-001) that accompanied ZMA1998-004 included
conditions limiting enrollment to 180 students, operating hours from 7:30a.m. to 6:00p.m., and
"sunsetting" the school use as of June 30, 2001. SP2000-010, approved May 5, 2000,
increased the enrollment to 220 students. SP2001-009, approved June 20, 2001, allowed an
early childhood education center operated by the Crossroads Waldorf School, with a maximum
enrollment of 85 students.
SP 2006-042 Charlottesville Day School Staff Report, February 13, 2007

.
.
.
A rezoning request (ZMA 2003-001, approved July 9, 2003) allowed administration and
professional offices, libraries, museums, nurseries, day care centers, and health spas in the
facility, A separate, but concurrent, special permit amendment (SP2003-017) allowed on-going
school use in the facility in the name of Four Seasons of Virginia, LLC. The maximum number
of students permitted under this SP was 85. (See Attachment A).
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Urban Density Residential, which
supports residential (6.01 - 34 units/acre) and supporting uses, such as religious institutions,
schools, commercial, office and service uses in Neighborhood One. This request is consistent
with that designation.
Neiahborhood Model:
The special use permit request is for an expansion in the number of students permitted to
attend a private school located within an already approved building and no site development
changes are proposed. The property was previously developed under a Planned Unit
Development. For these reasons, staff has not undertaken an analysis of the site in relation to
the 12 Principles of the Neighborhood Model. Staff notes that there is an internal sidewalk
system that provides for pedestrian connections within the site and to Four Seasons Drive.
Staff Comment:
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
31.2.4.1: Special Use Permits provided for in this ordinance may be issued upon a
finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property,
Staff believes that increasing the number of students at the school will not be of substantial
detriment to adjacent property because the facilities can be shared by the several users, and
the applicant has addressed potential traffic and parking problems. Staff also does not believe
that there will be a significant increase in the amount of noise with the increased number of
students. Further, having a private school in close proximity may provide support to some
nearby residential uses.
The facilities used by Charlottesville Day School are also home to before and after school
programs and, during the summer, a day camp for children. There is also an "Outdoor
Waterpark" (a health spa and pool) nearby that shares the parking and is operated from the
spring through the fall. The third facility that shares the parking lot is a set of outdoor tennis
courts. These courts are also accessed by users who walk in from their homes elsewhere in the
development. (See Attachment B, Property Usage Map)
Based on information provided by the applicant, staff does not believe that there will be
sufficient overlap in the use of these facilities to cause problems with parking or vehicles
queuing out onto Four Seasons Drive. The summer camp is not open while the school is in
operation. During the spring and fall while the school is in session, the waterpark is used
primarily while the children are in school and users park at the end of the lot away from the
school facility. Further, some of the users walk from their homes in the development. There are
seven tennis courts, so the maximum number of players would be 28, and not all would be
expected to drive to the courts. The before and after school programs are attended by some of
the same children who attend class during the sChoolday, so they are picked up and dropped
off only once-and before the hours that school-only students arrive.
SP 2006-042 Charlottesville Day School Staff Report, February 13, 2007
3
The applicant has provided "Current Traffic" and "Expected Traffic" charts (Attachment C) that
show dropoff and pickup times for all those using the school facilities. These charts
demonstrate that the arrivals and departures are spread over a period of time in the morning
and afternoon, so problems with lines of vehicles waiting or queues extending out onto Four
Seasons Drive are very unlikely.
The school's classrooms are indoors, so the children can be expected to be outside only as
they arrive/depart and during recess/recreational time. The applicant has indicated that not all
the children are outdoors at the same time, Given that the school is in the middle of an active
recreation area, staff does not believe that there will be a significant increase in noise that will
be apparent to owners of the nearest residences. It should also be pointed out that this area
has been recreational for many years and a school has been operated on the premises for
many of those years, including a period of time when up to 220 students were allowed.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and
The area has been a school site since the early 1980s, beginning as a day care facility. Thus,
the proposed increase in the number of students will merely continue this use.
that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
Planned Unit Developments are intended to serve as neighborhoods or mini-neighborhoods
within designated communities and the urban area. In order to encourage a community
function, appropriate commercial and industrial uses can be provided, in addition to a variety of
residential uses. Including a private school in this residential and recreational area serves a
supporting function by providing a potentially desirable use-a neighborhood school.
with uses permitted by right in the district,
Uses permitted by right in a Planned Unit Development include residences, parks,
playgrounds, and other recreational facilities, public buildings (including schools), and other
related uses. A school can complement these uses.
with the additional regulations provided in section 5.0 of this ordinance,
There are no additional regulations in section 5.0 that address private schools,
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
Providing a private school within walking distance of residences supports the public health by
encouraging students to walk to school. The applicant has demonstrated a concern for the
safety of the students and neighbors by requiring the supervised dropoff, as described below.
Increasing the number of students from 85 to 250 is almost a three-fold increase. Staff initially
expressed concern about the number of cars that would be dropping off/picking up students,
about the possibility that a queue of cars would extend out onto Four Seasons Drive as
parents waited to drop off students, and about parking lot safety issues. The applicant has
indicated that parents do not "drop off' children at the school door or in the parking lot. Parents
are required by the school to park and walk their children into the appropriate classroom. This
eliminates one of the staff's concerns: young children walking unescorted across a parking lot
as other parents arrive in their vehicles.
The applicant also indicates that some of the students are children of teachers and staff at the
school and some are siblings (meaning that two or more are dropped off from the same
vehicle). In other words, just as each of the current 85 students does not arrive in separate
vehicles, there will be fewer than 250 vehicles dropping off students if the requested increase
is approved. The following chart gives the applicant's breakdown of student arrivals with the
SP 2006-042 Charlottesville Day School Staff Report, February 13, 2007

.
current 85 students and the projection of the breakdown of students with a 250-student
maximum enrollment:
Students 85 Total 250 Total
Children of Teachers/Staff 15 25
(arrive prior to other children)
Siblings 44 100
(at least 2 children /vehicle) (22 or less) (50 or less)
Individual Children 26 125
The applicant notes that the school has open arrival hours that allow for staggered arrival times.
Based on current experience, this means that no more than 75 of the 156 available parking
spaces (196 spaces less 40 teacher/staff spaces) are expected to be occupied by parents at
anyone time. In short, there is no period of the day when all of the parking spaces are expected
to be needed or used.
.
Staff requested traffic information from the applicant, who contracted with a consultant to
prepare the report (with transmittal letter) included in Attachment D. The consultant notes the
hours of arrival and departure, confirms the method of "dropping off' students, and includes the
information about the number of teacher/staff children and siblings. The consultant does not
believe, based on the information included in his report, that there will be problems with lines of
vehicles extending out onto Four Seasons Drive. County Engineering staff has reviewed the
consultant's assessment of school operations. Based on the assumptions and operational
methods stated included in the report, the consultant's conclusions are a valid justification for
the proposed increase in students independent of any empirical or engineering analysis.
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this application:
1. Provides opportunities for additional students to be enrolled in the school.
Staff has identified one factor unfavorable to this application:
1. Concern has been expressed by owners of nearby properties that there may be some
additional noise, but staff believes that the request is comparable to the number of
students that have previously been approved for the site (see Attachments E and F).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Based on the findings contained in this staff report, staff recommends approval of Special Use
Permit 2006-042 Charlottesville Day School, with the following conditions (the original
conditions listed in SP 2003-017, approved July 9, 2003, are given below, with proposed
additions in boldface italics and deletions in strikethrough type):
.
1. Maximum enrollment will be eighty five (85) two hundred fifty (250) students;
2. Normal hours of operation for school shall be from 7:30 a,m. to 6:00 p.m. with
occasional uses in the evenings and weekends; and
3. The applicant shall construot a pedestrian pathway connecting the school and pool
buildings to Four Seasons Drive, to a standard acceptable to the Departments of
Planning and Engineering and Public 'Norks. The pedestrian path'Nay shall be complete
by December 31,2003. [This condition has been met.]

Charlottesville Day School- Traffic Management Plan
Introd uction:
The Charlottesville Day School (CDS) is a private institution located at
200 Four Seasons Drive in Albemarle County, Virginia. The school
provides pre-school through 5th grade education with before and after
school programs for CDS students and students from public schools.
The Charlottesville Day School is housed in two main buildings with 196
parking spaces and has an enrollment of 85 students and is seeking a
special use permit to increase enrollment to a maximum of 250 students.
It is anticipated that the maximum growth will not be met for at least 5
years.
Existing Operation:
Presently, CDS has an enrollment of 85 students with approximately 20
teacher / staff members. The operating hours are as follows:
7:45 - 9:00 a.m.
8:15 - 8:45 a.m.
9:00 a.m. - 3:45 p.m.
3:45 - 5:45 p.m.
morning movers
student arrival
class time
after school program
As with many private schools, the day begins at a set hour and ends at a
set hour. These situations create a pick up and drop off style of student
arrival and require adequate onsite queuing space.
Attachment D
12
CDS has an open arrival time for students beginning at 7 :45 a.m. and
ending at 9:00 a.m. Students are NOT dropped off at designated
locations by grade or building assignment; instead the parents have to
park and bring their child to the classroom each day. As well, this
practice is followed for departure in the afternoon. Average arrival and
departure time is 5 to 7 minutes.
Of the 85 students; 15 are children of teachers and staff; 44 are siblings
i.e. two or three siblings are transported by a single vehicle and 26 are
single occupant vehicles. Additionally, approximately half of the
students arrive during the morning movers time and as observed by
staff at no time during arrival or departure there any more 15 parking
spaces being occupied by parents.
Proposed Operation:
CDS will continue to operate as it does today, parents will be required
to park and bring their children to the classroom each day. As
enrollment increases, building entrance locations may be assigned by
grade.
Assuming our teacher / student / staff distribution remains consistent to
what is experienced today, we can anticipate the following:
Of the 250 students; 25 will be children of teachers and staff; 100 will be
siblings, transported by a single vehicle and approximately 125 will be
single occupant vehicles. The open arrival hours will allow for
staggered arrival times which translate into no more than 75 of the 156
(196 spaces less 40 teacher / staff use) available parking spaces being
occupied at any given time.
Conclusion:
The Charlottesville Day School through its arrival and departure policy
has created a metering of entering and exiting vehicles and has
adequate on site parking to accommodate future growth.

Phone Call Regarding Charlottesville Day School, SP 2006-042
February 5, 2007
Today, I received a phone call from Martha Cox, who owns two units (#18 and #20) in the
Spring Court section of Four Seasons. She asked how she could register her opposition to the
proposed expansion of the Charlottesville Day School.
Since she does not have e-mail, I suggested she write a letter expressing her concerns. I also
indicated I would forward Ms. Cox's concerns.
She indicated that she is opposed because all that traffic is not "healthy" and the area does not
need "umpteen more screaming kids than are there now." She said it is supposed to be a
residential area. Expanding the school is "asking for more trouble and overcrowding." In
response to my question, she said she has been in the area when the school is in session.
Ms. Cox lives at 933 Towlston Road, McLean, V A 22102.

The 2006 Virginia 305(b )/303( d) Integrated Report on
Water Quality was approved by the Environmental
Protection Agency on October 16, 2006. This report is
required to be provided to EP A under the Clean Water
Act every two years.
f
This presentation will cover three aspects of the Department of Environmental
Quality's water program:
The Integrated Water Quality Report
A description of the DEQ water monitoring program and
A brief discussion of water quality issues in Albemarle County.
1 ..
The 305(b)/303(d) Integrated Report is a compilation of data and assessment of the
quality of Virginia's waters. These reports were previously submitted separately to
EP A as the 305(b) Report and 303( d) Report. Since 2004 these reports have been
integrated together as one according to EP A guidance. The numbers and letters of
the report simply refer to the sections of the Clean Water Act that they are
referenced.
.. "
The 305(b) portion of the report is a statewide assessment of water quality. This
includes waters that are impaired as well as unimpaired. This portion is all waters
in the Commonwealth. This report as mentioned earlier is due every two years to
EP A as required by the Clean Water Act. The 2006 report is based on monitoring
data that was collected from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2004. This is a five
year window. .

Designated Uses
I
· 1. Primary contact recreation (Swilll1llable)
· 2. aquatic life
· 3. wildlife
· 4. fish consUlllption (fishable)
· 5. shellfishing
.....
· 6. drinking water
Understanding the quality of water means we have to understand how we determine
if a water is meeting a particular water quality standard. Virginia evaluates water
quality based on designated uses. The 6 designated uses in Virginia are for:
Recreation (primary contact, swimmable)
Aquatic Life
Wildlife
Fish Consumption
Shellfishing (which we don't have any of in Albemarle County)
Drinking water (those waters that have been designated public water supplies, does
not apply to all waters in Virginia)
.
The water quality assessment report is based on stream segments. An example of
this would be a stretch of a stream from the headwaters downstream to a major
confluence with another stream. This would represent one segment. Another
reason a stream would be segmented would be a change in a water quality standard
i.e. an area 5 miles above a public water intake is designated as a public water
supply, above that point, it is simply designated as a mountain stream. In this
example, different water quality standards would require this stretch of stream to be
segmented into two pieces.
These stream segments then are evaluated as to if they are supporting the designated
uses. Is it fully supporting all uses?, partially supporting or not supporting.
The assessment attempts to determine a possible cause and if possible determine
where the source is coming from.
.. <.
Assessment "Metrics"
· 1. fecal colifonn and/or e-coli bacteria
counts & VOH beach closures;
· 2. benthology, Telnp, pH, DO, P, sedilnent
· 3. water column/sedilnent toxics
· 4. fish tissue (toxics); screening
val ues
· 5. VOH condemnation; fecal colifornls
· 6. VOH closures or advisories
So what water quality parameters are used to determine support of certain uses?
Bacteria (fecal colifonnle-coli) is used to determine recreational use support. In
certain areas, a Virginia Department of Health beach closure would list a water as
impaired for recreational use. A violation rate of over 10.5% of the total number of
samples will list a water as impaired for the recreational use due to the presence of
baCteria.
The Aquatic Life use is assessed based on benthology (the"bugs" present) as well as
temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total phosphorus and sediment sampling
Water Column toxics and sediment toxics are used to evaluate Wildlife use, Water
column toxics also come into play when assessing Public Water Supplies.
The Fish Consumption Use is assessed based on fish tissue testing screening values
As mentioned before, waters can be assessed as impaired due to Virginia
Department of Health beach closures or shellfish condemnations which involve
presence of bacteria (typically fecal coliform)

305(b) Data Sources
· alTIbient lTIonitoring network
· benthic COlTIlTIUnity evaluation (RBP-I I)
· sedilTIent & fish tissue
· VDH, USFS, SNP
· DCR watershed assessment
· citizen monitoring data
Sources of data for the 305(b) report are from a number of sources. DEQ has a
large monitoring network which includes the ambient watershed network, biological
network (benthic community monitoring) as well as fish tissue and sediment
sampling.
DEQ also receives data from the Virginia Department of Health, US Forest Service,
Shenandoah National Park and other agencies that have monitoring programs.
The report also includes the Department of Conservation and Recreation watershed
assessment which includes evaluating potential impacts based on land use,
population, etc.
Finally, DEQ accepts Quality Assured/Quality Controlled data from citizen
monitoring groups. The agency is working with a number of groups to develop
QA/QC plans so their data can be used in the future. DEQ has a goal of assessing
3000 miles of waters using citizen data by 2010.
l.
As mentioned earlier, Virginia has an extensive
monitoring program that is among the largest with
California and Florida.
..
Listed here are the various types or components of V A's
Water Quality Monitoring program.

The other half of the 2006 Integrated report is the 303(d) TMDL or impaired waters
list. These are waters that are in the 305(b) portion of the report, but these waters
have been identified as not supporting their designated use(s). This portion of the
report, like the 305(b) is required to be submitted to EP A every two years and the
data range is the same from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2004.
So what is a TMDL?
~
TMDL is a Total Maximum Daily Load and describes the amount of pollution a
water can take and still maintain water quality standards. This study is a tool to
correct water quality impairments because it provides a roadmap to the sources of
pollution in a particular water.
;.
This slide shows how a TMDL study works. It identifies all the sources of pollution
in a water, determines how much of each is present and how much each have to be
reduced to return the stream to meeting water quality standards.
.
The development process begins with the water being identified as impaired for a
particular use. At that time, a TMDL study is prepared. Following approval of this
plan, an implementation plan can be developed to address the causes of the
impairment. The implementation plan outlines those practices and activities that
need to occur to bring the water quality back to meeting water quality standards.
Currently, the Moores Creek watershed has gone through this process and has an
implementation plan in place. The Thomas Jefferson Planning District is currently
seeking sources of funding to install the components of the implementation plan.

Refer to the map included in the packet. The red lines on the map indicate waters
that are impaired for a designated use. The lines that are totally red are waters that
were just identified in the 2006 report as being impaired. Lines that have the light
blue line inside of the red are waters that were identified in 2004 as being impaired
and remain impaired in 2006. If you see only a light blue line, that water was
impaired in 2004, but not in 2006 and has been de-listed from the impaired waters
list.
From the map, you will also see the monitoring stations that make up the network in
Albemarle County. The monitoring sites are identified by the group that performed
the monitoring. The Legend is self-explanatory.

We thank you for promising to bring IMPACT's following proposals to the Board of
Supervisors for further discussion: (1) night service on Route 5, (2) County funding for
bus service on 5th Street Extended, and (3) a regional Task Force of high level decision

Albemarle Board of Supervisors

Dear Mr. Boyd,
I'm writing as the Director of OAR/Jefferson Area Community Corrections in regard to
the proposals being considered by the Board of Supervisors to reduce the tax rate i II Albemarle
County, I know the Public Hearing for budget matters was last night but I was unable to attend.
It appears that the majority of the discussion was around the schools so I wanted to take the
opportunity to address the issues of the nonprofit agencies.
I understand that there is some consideration to providing level funding to I he nonprofit
organizations and not funding any new initiative. As the Director of a nonprofit agency that
receives funding for several programs this is a concern. While we understand the ~mportance of
addressing the concerns of Albemarle County property owners our agency proV'id~.1~ a critical
service to the citizens of Albemarle. Public Safety is typically one of the concerns for the
citizens and the funding we receive is imperative to enable us to provide the servio.:.;I;S,
Currently the programs funded by Albemarle County are: Local Probation. Pretrial
Services, Drug Court, Reentry and Criminal Justice Planning. We have requested funds for one
of our newer programs, Restorative Justice. The programs provide assistance to (l!fenders,
victims and their families as wen as the community at large. By holding the o.ffeniler
accountable and giving him/her the necessary skills to succeed the community is i\ safer place to
live.
I am asking you to consider the impact on the nonprofit agencies providin~~ much needed
services in our community, We are fortunate to receive support from Albemarle mld look
forward to your continued support at the increases that allow us to meet the growing needs of our
community and our agency."
