Appeal: The Gardens:!iPhase II Preliminary Site Plan (deferred from April 12, 1989). Since the Board's meeting on April 12, 1989, Mr. Home said, the Planning staff has met with the applicant and the adjoining neighbors in Woodbrook 508 April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meeting) (Page 2) subdivision. The following amendments to the recommended conditions of approval resulted from this meeting: "h. Maintenance of a fifty (50) foot undisturbed buffer adjacent to the Woodbrook Subdivision along Tax Map 61, Parcel 123E; i. Rear facade of the cinema shall be substantially the same finish material as all other sides; j. the average height of the cinema exposed to the Woodbrook shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet, as measured from the average top of the fill to the roof line; k. the cinema shall not exceed 21,500 square feet; 1. no structure shall be located closer than seventy-five (75) feet to Tax Map 45C, Section 1, Parcel 6B; and m. the one hundred fifty (150) foot buffer adjacent to Woodbrook subdi- vision, as shown on the site plan, shall be maintained for the life of the lease of the cinema in accordance with the approved site plan". Mr. Horne said the remainder of the conditions are as they were stated the staff's report. Mrs. Cooke said some of the residents requested that chain link fence be built along the back of the movie theatre to prevent its patrons from tres- passing on their property. Mr. Horne said this request is addressed in the following condition, which he neglected to mention: "Planning Department approval of the landscape plan to include location, and maintenance of land- scaping designed to act as a barrier to pedestrian accesslfrom this site to the Woodbrook subdivision". Mr. Horne said the applicant objected to buildin a fence around the cinema for aesthetic reasons, so a dense, vegetative border, possibly thorn bushes, will be planted along this~property line to deter trespassers. He said such a border is acceptable to the residents of Woodbrook subdivision. Mr. Lindstrom said the utility of a vegetative screen depends on how it is maintained. He thinks the condition should be worded to give the Planning Commission the authority to request a fence as well, should one necessary. Mrs. Cooke pointed out that it takes time fore, vegetative borders to grow big enough to be effective. She thinks a fence may be necessary the screen is established. Mr. Way opened the public hearing. Mr. George Gilliam, legal counsel for the applicant,,~addressed the Board. He said the applicant does not object to the amendment suggested by Mr. Lindstrom and Mrs. Cooke. Mr. Mike Boblitz, representing the Woodbrook Homeowners' Association, addressed the Board. He said the residents of Woodbrook ~Ubdivision find the conditions acceptable. He said the residents who own property next to the site would prefer that a fence be built along this property line and he thanked the applicant for his willingness to cooperate. ~e asked that the Board consider adopting an ordinance requesting businesseS' next to residential property to close no later than midnight, to minimize the!iproblems caused by the increasing commercial development along Route 29 Nort~ Since no one else wished to speak to this applicatio~ Mr. Way closed the public hearing and placed the matter before the Board. Mr. Lindstrom asked if the 50-foot undisturbed buffe~!were part of the 150-foot buffer, making the maximum buffer 150 feet, not ~00 feet. Mr. Horne said "yes". Mr. Lindstrom questioned the condition regarding the Materials used for the facade of the cinema. He said he is not sure this coni[ition will insure that the materials will be compatible with a residential ai~ea. He thinks the April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meeting) (Page 3) 509 condition should state that the facade will be compatible with the residential nature of the adjoining properties. Mr. Gilliam said the applicant is willing to have the condition state that the materials used for the facade will be of earth tones and a finish- quality material, as opposed to unfinished cinderblock. Mr. Lindstrom said this would be better. Mr. Horn, suggested that the condition be reworded as follows: "The rear facade of the cinema shall be substantially the same finish material as all other sides and be of earth-tone finish on masonry." Mr. Lindstrom and Mrs. Cooke said this revision is satisfactory. Mr. Lindstrom suggested that the condition relating to landscaping and fencing behind the cinema state: "Planning Department approval of landscape plan to include the location and maintenance of landscaping and fencing designed to act as a barrier to pedestrian access from this site to the Woodbrook subdivision". Mr. Gilliam said the owners of the adjoining residential property dis- agree about the kind of fence they want. He said all the residents agreed to the vegetative border. Mr. Lindstrom said he believes a fence is needed until the vegetative border has grown enough to make it effective. Mrs. Cooke said she thinks a fence must be built to stabilize the plants and keep people from making paths through the border, which would prevent the border from ever becoming an effective barrier. She said she is not inter- ested in dictating what kind of fence the apPlicant must build. Mr. Bain said he had objected to the site plan because of the proposed grading on critical slopes. He said he has thought about this, and believes that the intent of the Erosion Control Ordinance is to protect natural slopes. He said he will support this site plan. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Mrs. Cooke, to approve The Gardens Phase II Preliminary Site Plan with the following conditions: The final site plan will not be sighed until the following conditions have been met: Department of Engineering approval of grading and drainage plans and calculations; de Department of Engineering approval of stormwater detention plans and calculations; Department of Engineering issuance of an erosion control permit; Planning Department approval of landscape plan to include the location and maintenance af landscaping and fencing designed to act as a barrier to pedestrian access from this site to the Woodbrook Subdivision; Approval of subdivision proposed on the site plan; Staff approval of easements fo~ off-site parking and grading; Albemarle County Service Authority approval of water and sewer plans: Maintenance of a fifty (50) fo t undisturbed buffer adjacent to Woodbrook Subdivision along Tax Map 61, Parcel 123E; Rear facade of the cinema shall be substantially the same finish material as all other s~Hes, and be earth-tone finish on masonry; 510 April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meeting) (Page 4) j. The average height of the cinema exposed to the Woodbrook Subdivision shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet, as measured from the average top of the fill to the roof line; k. The cinema shall not exceed 21,500 square feet; 1. No structure shall be located closer than seventy-five (75) feet to Tax Map 45C, Section 1, Parcel 6B; m. The one hundred fifty (150) foot buffer adjacent to Woodbrook Subdivision, as shown on the site plan, shall be maintained for the life of the lease of the cinema in accordance with the approved site plan. 2. Administrative approval of proposed subdivision as shown on the site plan; 3. Administrative approval of final site plan; 4. A certificate of occupancy will not be issued until the follow- ing condition has been met: a. Fire Officer final approval. There being no further discussion, roll was called and the motion by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Bain, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom, Perkins a~,.d Way. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Bowie. (Mr. Bowie arrived at 7:59 P.M.) Mr. Lindstrom said he thinks Mr. Boblitz's suggestion for limiting the hours of commercial businesses next to residential areas is a good idea. He asked the staff to draft an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to limit the hours of businesses located in commercial developments adj:acent to areas. Not Docketed: Mr. Agnor submitted a letter of resignation from Mr. John T. P. Horne, Director of Planning and Community Development, effective May 10, 1989. He said Mr. Horne has done an outstanding job. He,recommended that the Board accept Mr. Horne's resignation. Mr. Way asked Mr. David Bowerman, Chairman of the Planning Commission, if he would care to say a few words concerning Mr. Horne's resignation. He commended Mr. Horne's knowledge of community planning and .~!said he will be missed when he leaves. Mr. Bowie said Mr. Horne has been both knowledgeable land helpful and he thinks Mr. Horne's future employers are very fortunate. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom and seconded by Mr. Bowie, to accept, with regret, the resignation of Mr. John T. P. Home as D~rector of Planning and Community Development, effective May 10, 1989. There '.being no further discussion, roll was called and the motion carried by th~ ~.following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Bain, Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom,~/iPerkins and Way. NAYS: None. 1989-90 County ~udget. (Advertised Agenda Item No. 6a. Public Hearing: in the Daily Progress on April 12, 1989.) Mr. Agnor said the budget presented tonight differs from the one F by the County Executive in March, 1989. The earlier budget totaled $73.5 April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meeting) (Page 5) 511 million, including $500,000 in reserves; the budget presented tonight totals $74.5 million, with $1.23 million in reserved funds. He said the budget proposed this evening adds $460,000 to General Government, $2 million to the School division and reduces the funds available for the Capital Improvements budget by $2.25 million. Mr. Agnor said the reserved funds are proposed to be allocated as follows: $250,000 to Public Safety, pending the consultants' report on the needs of the fire and rescue squads and the Police Department; $880,000 for the interest on the first year of debt service on a school construction loan of $13.5 million; and, $100,000 for the Board to allocate as needed. Mr. Agnor said the additional allocation to General Government would fund some new positions and allow the funds to be increased for programs such as the Region Ten Mental Health Program, the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library, and the Jefferson Area Board on Aging. The additional allocation would also be used to fund some equipment needed in the Social Services Department and the Clerk of the Circuit Court's office. He said the additional allocation of $2 million to the School division would provide funding for all the new positions and equipment related to the growth in enrollment. Mr. Agnor said there are also changes in the revenues collected by the County. There is a proposed increase in the cost of vehicle decals from $15 for all vehicles to $20 for vehicles under 4000 pounds and $25 for vehicles over 4000 pounds. Increasing the cost of de~als will provide an additional $300,000, which will be allocated to the School division. Mr. Agnor said the fees charged by the Department of Parks and Recreation will also increase local revenues by $17,200. Mr. Way opened the public hearing. Ms. Helen Parrish, Vice-Chairman of the :Board of Directors of the Sexual Assault Resources Agency (SARA), addressed the Board. She asked that the Board fund SARA's entire request. The $5600 Dot recommended for funding would establish the position of Educational Coordinator. She said the Charlottes- ville-Albemarle Task Force on the Prevention ~f Sexual Assault in its report recommended that the position of Educational Coordinator be funded jointly by the City and County. She said she firmly bellieves that education can both help the victims of sexual assault and prevent future cases of sexual assault. Ms. Parrish said the Board of Supervisors was concerned that few rape victims report the crime to the police. She said this number will not in- crease until the public's perceptions of rape and rape victims changes. She said SARA is developing programs that encourage rape victims to talk to a judge, a prosecutor, or an attorney before de~iding whether to press charges, but the public perception of rape must change~before more women will report the crime. According to the task force report, one-third of the residents of this community believes the victim is responsible for the rape. Ms. Parrish said educating the public will help change it~ perception and reporting rape easier for the victims. Ms. Parrish said the Board of Supervisor~ also requested that SARA coordinate services and information with similar agencies. She said SARA has always done this. Members of the Board of Supervisors also expressed concern about the lack of funding by the University o~ Virginia, since SARA provides services to University students. She does not believe that County residents should be deprived of services just because t}~is Board is annoyed with the University. She said SARA is asking that the!University fund some of its services, but not the position of Educational Coordinator, because the Univer- sity has its own educational program. Mr. Way asked if Charlottesville City Co~cil has agreed to fund a portion of this position. Ms. Parrish said City Council has agreed to fund $5600 for the position. She asked everyone present on behalf of SARA to stand. About 30 people rose. Ms. Connie Payne addressed the Board on victim of rape. She said many people hold th~ rape upon themselves, by the way they dress, company they keep. She said she was raped in ,ehalf of SARA and said she is a misconception that women bring he places they go, or the her own home by an intruder. 512 April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meeting) (Page 6) She said anybody can be raped and the victims need the services offered by SARA. She urged the Board to fund SARA's complete request. Mr. Bill May addressed the Board and said he is concerned about the attacks made upon women in this community. He said the Board is responsible for the safety of the public. He asked the Board to fund the position requested by SARA because he thinks it will make the community a safer place. He said preventing even one attack is certainly worth the amount of money it take to investigate one. Ms. Charlotte Humphris addressed the Board and said her daughter was a victim of assault with intent to rape. She said rape is becoming an epidemic in this community. This is intolerable, she said, and she thinks a program of public awareness, with the goal of prevention, is essential. She asked that the Board fund the position of Educational Coordinator. Ms. Tracy Johnson, President of the Charlottesville Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW), addressed the Board. She said the task force report also recommended that a directory of educati6nal resources be developed and kept up to date. The task force report also calls upon the City, County and University to fund the employment of a public education coordinator to prepare the directory. She asked the Boar~ to fund SARA's request for the Educational Coordinator. Ms. Ann Hobbes, President of the Charlottesville Business and Profes- sional Womens' Club, addressed the Board. She said members of the Club are aware of the rape statistics for this community and they are concerned. She said she is afraid to go out at night. She asked the Board to fund the position requested by SARA. Ms. Ann Rooker, a resident of the County and the mother of two daughters, said she is troubled by the statistics on local sexual assault. She asked the Board to fund the position requested by SARA. Ms. Betty Wheelock addressed the Board. She said that she and many other women in the County can no longer safely do the things they once did. Recently, a woman was forced at knifepoint into a car in the middle of the parking lot at the Fashion Square Mall in the middle of the day, then forced to drive to a wooded area where she was raped. Another woman was attacked in the Barracks Road Shopping Center and a third was awakened in the middle of the day in her own home by a strange man crawling into bed'with her. Given that only one in ten women who are raped report the crime,~ Ms. Wheelock said, other woman have no doubt been raped in the County. Withim the last three years, the number of rapes in the County has tripled. She~said SARA is a non-profit organization with only two paid staff members. ~iShe urged the Board to grant SARA's request for an Educational Coordinator. Mr. Way said he is concerned about how this Educational Coordinator would express his or her message in the schools. Ms. Rellen Perry, the retiring' Chairman of the Albemarle Housing Coali- tion, addressed the Board. She said people come from all ~ver the world to live in the County because of its beautiful communities, i~s excellent system of education, its well-stocked libraries and its pleasant parks. She said this County is prosperous and can afford anything it needs~! This very pros- perity, she continued, has forced the price of housing out~iof the reach of low-income families. She thinks warm, safe housing for th~ less prosperous residents of the County is essential. She asked the Board ito increase the funding allocated to the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP) to provide more affordable rental units. She said the County could raise money by increasing the lodging tax, or imposing a meals tax or an impact tax, none of which would affect poor people as much as increasing th~ cost of vehicle decals. Mr. Tom Rider, a third-grade teacher at Stony Point Ei~ementary School executive board member of the Albemarle Education Association (AEA), addressed the Board He said the AEA applauds the Board's attempts ~0 address the problems of growing enrollment. Nevertheless, the budget ~roposed for 1989-9 will not allow the quality of education to improve in the ~i°unty. He said he April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meeting) (Page 7) 513 hopes that future school budgets will provide for excellence rather than just meet the needs of growing enrollment. Mr. Larry Goldstein addressed the Board and thanked Mr. Bain, Mr. Lindstrom and Mrs. Cooke for supporting an increase in the property tax to benefit the schools. He said he thinks the proposed budget will leave the School division without enough funding. If, as Mr. Bowie and Mr. Perkins allege, the School staff is mismanaging funds, Mr. Goldstein said the Board should not use this as an excuse to hold back funding, unless the matter is investigated further. He said the latest audit of the County gave the School staff good marks. He said School administrators have even been asked to show administrators in other areas of the State h6w to conduct certain programs. If the Supervisors believe that School funds are mismanaged, he said, they should identify the areas of waste and eliminate them. He said the Board has not called for such an investigation and he ~hinks the reason is because members of the Board really know there is no,such mismanagement. Mr. Ed Jones, a member of the JeffersonArea Board on Aging (JABA), addressed the Board. He thanked the Board for its support. Ms. Zita Kelly addressed the Board and said her family has benefitted from the services of Region Ten, She asked ~he Board to fund Region Ten's full request. She said Region Ten is understaffed; each employee handles a caseload of 60 to 70 patients. She said the-State average per capita alloca- tion for mental health services is $10.56; i~ the County, the per capita allocation is only $1.89. If the Board allocates $30,000 more to Region Ten, she said, Region Ten will be able to receivei90 cents in State funding for every ten cents of local money. ~ Mr. Lee Early, a resident of Earlysville, addressed the Board. He said he is thankful that the Board increased the recommended allocation to the School system; however, he is 'outraged about !!the unfounded charges concerning the way the School Board and the School administrators manage money. He said these charges were so serious they could be ~evealed only in an executive session of the Boards. He said these accusa{ions clouded the issues during the Board's deliberations on the tax rate. ~The category "professional devel- opment'' was criticized during the work sessions on the budget. Mr. Early said the law requires that professional development be provided for School Board members, administrators and teachers. He sa£d the School division has also been criticized for holding a work session a~ the Wintergreen resort, but it is important that retreats be held away from'ithe tugs of work and home. He said he thinks Mr. Overstreet and the School !~oard deserve an apology. He asked that the Board increase the allocation leto the School system. Mr. Gary Frye, President of the Jeffers~-Madison Regional Library, addressed the Board. He said the Library is ~equesting $1.185 million. He said this request was guided by a contractualt:~agreement which states that regional costs must be funded first and then ~he operational costs of the branches. Paying the regional costs first g ~u~rantees that any resident of the area served by the regional library is eligible to use any branch within the system. He said granting the Library's request would fund only a few new positions and programs: a position for a librarian specializing in literature for young adults; a collection development sppcialist; reclassifying the Library's employees to make their salaries co~mensurate with those of other City and County employees; restorin~ evenin~ '~nd weeken~ h~ ....... ~ ~~ ~t.h,e hou.rs of the branches in Crozet and Scott~vllle. Mr. Frye said the ~.morary's request is based on how much Countyi~residents use the Library and its services. He said this budget is as leanly!as possible and asked that the Board grant the full request. .~ Ms. Sally Thomas, representing the Leagu~ of Women Voters, addressed the Board. She said the League is pleased that a~ additional $2 million will be allocated to the Schools to accommodate the a~ticipated growth in enrollment. She said the League is concerned that carry-o~er money will be used in part to fund this additional allocation, because enrollments will continue to grow in the future, but the carry-oVer funds will be ~xhausted. She said the League feels compelled to state that it sees no justification for the Board and School Board to discuss the management of theSiSchool system in executive session. She said this executive session pro~ably violated the Freedom of Information Act. ~ 514 April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meeting) (Page 8) Ms. Thomas said the League is also dismayed by the inadequate funding in the areas of social services and public safety. She said salaries are too and the programs do not meet the needs of the public. She suggested that the County appoint an advisory committee similar to the City!s Social Development Commission to address the human service needs of County residents. In ~ ular, the League urges the Board to increase the funding for Region Ten and to grant the request by SARA for a community education coordinator. Ms. Thomas said the League believes that a primary responsibility of government is to prevent the contamination of both surface and ground water. She urged the County to upgrade its regulations on septic systems. She said the League also asks the Board to fund~a wood-chipper at the Ivy landfill to extend the life of the landfill, and a recycling drop-off center at the Keene Transfer Station. She also asked the Board to consider~etting aside one day for receiving hazardous waste at the landfill. An unidentified woman addressed the Board and asked that the Board increase its allocation to the School system and Region Ten. Since no one else wished to speak, Mr. Way closed the public hearing. Mr. Way said there is money set aside for making allocations during the fiscal year. He suggested that the Board discuss some of:' the requests heard tonight at its final work session on the budget next Wednesday. Mr. Lindstrom asked staff to verify one of the speaker's claims that increasing the allocation to Region Ten by $30,000 would !significantly increase the matching State funds. He said he thinks the! Board should also consider the wood-chipping machine, perhaps as part of th~ Capital Improve- ments budget. He said he has also received an estimate O~ $2500 for the cost of the consultant's study requested by the League of Women Voters to investi- gate the effect of septic systems on the County'.s groundwater. He asked the staff to verify this estimate and tell him what information will be provided for the money. ~ Mr. Bain asked Mr. Agnor to provide his recommendations for allocating the reserve funds, before next Wednesday. Mr. Agnor sai~i!this information is ready tonight. ~ Mr. Lindstrom said he supports the full requests for~SARA and the Library. ~' (At 9:27 P.M., the Board recessed and reconvened at 9:32 P.M.) Agenda Item No. 6b. Public Hearing: Tax Increase C~used by the Reas- sessment of Real Property. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on April 12, 1989. ) } Mr. Way opened the public hearing. Since no one wis~ed to speak to this issue, Mr. Way closed the public hearing and placed the m~tter before the Board. There was no discussion. ~ Agenda Item No. 7. Approval of Minutes: March 9, April 6, April 13, April 20, May 18, November 30, 1988; and February 15 (A), 1989. Mr. Bain had read the minutes of: March 9, 1988, pages 11 (beginning with Item No. 8) to 24 (ending at Item No. 12) and found them to be in order; April 6, 1988, pages 11 to end, and found them to have some minor typos and the following minute book correcti6n: Page 12, last paragraph, second sen- tence should read: "Mr. Home said a recommendation will'be forthcoming in the near future from the University/City/County Committee ~tudying this area, however City Council is setting a public hearing on the clpsing of Sunset Avenue now."; May 18, 1988, pages 1 to 10 (ending at Item ~o. 8) and found them to be in order; and February 15 (A), 1989, withthe following minute correction: Page 6, paragraph 6, first sentence should regd: "Mr. Bowie if there is an increase in traffic on Route 250, then the improvements begun on Route 250 must continue beyond the 1-64 interchange." ~*~ 515 April 20, 1989 (Adjourned Meetin§) (Pa§e 9) Mr. Bowie had read the minutes of May 18, 1988, paEes 10 (be§innin§ with Item No. 8) to 21 (ending at Item No. 10) and found them to be in order. Mr. Way had read the minutes of: March 9, pages 24 (beginning with Item No. 12) to 32 (endin§ at Item No. 6a) and found them to be in order; April 13, 1988, pa§es 1 to 13 (ending at Item No. 6e) and found them to be in order; and April 20, 1988, pages 1 to 10 (ending at Item No. 13) and found some minor typos and the following minute book corrections: Page 2, seventh paragraph should read: "Mr. Lindstrom said the amendment as proposed increases in an absolute sense the number of lots that are possible in the rural areas." and Page 4, fourth paragraph should read: "Mr. Way said he does not understand what is going on and does not intend to vote on this matter tonight." Motion was offered by Mr. Bain, seconded by Mr. Bowie, to approve the minutes as read and corrected. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Bain, Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs~ Lindstrom, Perkins and Way. None. Agenda Item No. 8. Other Matters Not Listed on the Agenda. Mr. Agnor announced that the report of the School's Long Range Planning Committee will be presented to the School Board and Board of Supervisors on 4, 1989, at 4:00 P.M., at Albemarle High SChool. Mr. Lindstrom said he and other members of the Board attended a meeting this afternoon at which Sverdrup, consultants for the Route 29 North improve- presented its traffic analysis. He said Sverdrup will hold a meeting at 10:00 A.M. on April 21, 1989, during which the designs and drawings for the bypass alternatives and the expressway will be presented. According the Sverdrup, the eastern alternatives will do little to alleviate traffic )roblems on Route 29 North, while the western alternatives will remove about percent of the traffic from Route 29 North. ~Mr.~ Lindstrom said the Meadow Creek Parkway will divert significant traffic f¥om Route 29 North, more than any of the bypass alternatives Mr. Bowie said extending the Meadow Creek ~arkway to Proffit Road would remove almost 18,000 vehicle trips per day from~iRoute 29. He said YDoT still has not agreed to fund the entire Meadow Creek ~arkway, but he th~nks YDoT ineers are beginning to realize how importan~ the Parkway could be. Mr. Lindstrom said he also thinks it significant that the expressway alternative reduced more traffic entering the C~ty than any of the bypass alternatives. ~ Mr. Bain suggested that the Board hold a "~rainstorming" session with the staff to discuss various Pisions of the future ~f this County, in broad, general terms, rather than the specific issues day. He said he would like to discuss the meal~ other possible legislative matters. Agenda Item No. 9. Adjourn to April 26, 1!
