Agenda Item No. 6. Highway Matters.
Mr. Roosevelt referenced the following three safety improvement projects
on Rio Road: the intersection of the entrance to Pen Park and Rio Road, the
intersection of Rio Road and Agnese Street, and the intersection of Rio Road
and Woodburn Road. He said that the first p=oject excited the most public
concern. At the request of the Board, he said, he has developed a survey and
estimate for a realignment of the improvements to the intersection of Rio Road
and the entrance to Pen Park (Project 0631-002-219,C501). He presented the
following revised cost estimate:
"Item OriKinal Plan Revised Plan
Right of Way $ 88,800.00 $ 82,800.00
Utility Relocation 72,000.00 75,600.00
Construction 144~400.00 210~400.00
Total $305,200.00 ~ $368,800.00
Increase $ 63,800.00"
Mr. Roosevelt said the 6ost of the original plan for the three Rio Road
projects was $547,000.00. Substituting the s~cond alignment for the first in
the case of the entrance to Pen Park would increase the cost for three
projects to $610,800.00.
Mr. Roosevelt said this alignment would ~educe the damage to property
adjacent to the entrance. Under the original alignment, Ms. Daniels, an
adjacent landowner would have lost her rock wall and a good deal of her front
lawn and Mr. Stanley, another adjacent landowner, would have lost some of his
504
August 10, 1988 (Regular Day Meeting
(Page 4)
lawn as well. Under the revised alignment, Mr. Stanley loses none of his
property. He said Ms. Daniels will still lose her rock wall but she will lose
less of her property.
Mrs. Cooke asked what VDoT would use to replace the rock wall. Mr.
Roosevelt said Ms. Daniels would be paid for the loss of the land and the
wall. She may choose to use this money to have a new wall built, he said.
Mrs. Cooke asked how much front lawn will be left for Ms. Daniels. Mr.
Roosevelt said her house is now 58 feet from the edge of the pavement at the
closest point. Under the original alignment, the road would have been 45 feet
from the house at the closest point. Under the revised alignment, the edge of
the pavement will be 55 feet from the house. He added that widening the
shoulders of the road will bring the shoulder within 40 feet of her house.
Mrs. Cooke asked how YDoT planned to improve the intersection of Agnese
Street and Rio Road. Mr. Roosevelt said the banks will be cut back on the
inside of the curve so a driver wishing to make a left turn onto Agnese Street
will be able to see if someone is coming. He said this ~mprovement will not
change the curvature of the intersection, widen the road or provide a turning
lane. He said this project is estimated to cost $39,000.
Motion was offered by Mrs. Cooke, seconded by Mr. Bain, to adopt the
following resolution in support of the revised plan for improvements to Rio
Road (Route 631) at the entrance to Pen Park (Route 768), and endorsed the
previously presented plans for improvements to Rio Road at Agnese Street and
Rio Road at Woodburn Road (Route 659).
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors o~ Albemarle
County, Virginia, does hereby support the revised plan for Project
0631-002-219, C501, Route 631 at the entrance to RoUte 768 (Pen
Park), at a cost of $368,800, as presented at the Board of Supervi-
sors meeting on August 10, 1988; and
FURTHER endorses the proposed improvements for i';Route 631 at
Agnese Street and Route 631 at Route 659 (Woodburn l{~ad) the total
costs of all three projects being $610,800.
Roll was called on the foregoing motion which carrie'd by the following
recorded vote:
AYES: Mr. Bain, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom, Perkins ahd Way.
NAYS: None.
ABSENT: Mr. Bowie.
Mr. Perkins said he has received a letter from a citizen, Mrs. Candell,
concerning a one-lane bridge in Advance Mills. He asked if this bridge could
be improved from the operations budget. Mr. Roosevelt said he has written a
letter to Mrs. Candell telling her that this project must~be included in the
Six Year Plan, which will not be revised again until the Winter of 1989.
Agenda Item No. 7. Appeal: Michael H. Davis Waive~ Request. Proposal
to subdivide a 7.704 acre parcel into two lots of 4.0 andi3.704 acres. The
3.704 acre lot is to be served by a new 20 foot easement. The applicant
requests that an existing dwelling not be required to use this new easement
and instead-continue to use an existing entrance to Route 751. (Waiver of
Section 18-36(f) of the Subdivision Ordinance.) Propertyi described as Tax
Map 56, Parcel 26G, is located on the south side of Routei~751 approximately
two-tenths of a mile west of Route 683 and two-£enths of a mile south of Route
250. Zoned RA, Rural Areas. White Hall Magisterial District.)
Received for the record was a letter dated July 21, t988, requesting a
waiver. Mr. Home presented the staff's report as follows:
August 10, 1988 (Regular Day Meeting)
(Page 5)
505
"History: This parcel was created in a subdivision that was approved
September 28, 1984. A building permit was issued in the spring of
1986.
Staff Comment: The owner has requested a separate entrance because a
shared entrance would "deter from the value and looks of our proper-
ty''. The owner also states that the water line in the front yard of
the house would make access across there impossible.
The Subdivision Ordinance allows for a waiver of Section 18-36(f)
under the following conditions: existing development, topography or
other physical consideration as distinguished from a special privi-
lege or convenience, or to alleviate a clearly demonstrable danger of
significant degradation to the environment of the site or adjacent
properties.
This parcel was created and developed after the current Subdivision
Ordinance went into effect and staff cannot support the argument that
existing development prohibits joint access.
Topography and safety of access are not, issues here. The property
has no restrictive topography and the Virginia Department of Trans-
portation has determined that the existing entrance is adequate. The
proposed entrance can gain adequate sight distance with only minor
clearing of growth in the right-of-way or on-site.
Staff recommends denial of this request for a waiver of Section
18-36(f) of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Should the Planning Commission choose to approve this request, staff
recommends the following condition:
Recommended Condition of Approval:
Planning staff approval of technical notes on the subdivision
plat."
Mr. Horne said the Planning Commission, at its meeting on July 19, 1988,
denied this request by a vote of five to one.
Mr. Way opened the public hearing and asked if the applicant wished to
speak to the Board.
Mr. John Dezio addressed the Board and said he is representing both Mr.
James W. Davis, Jr., the owner of the parcelt and Mr. Michael Davis, the
potential purchaser of the second lot. He p~esented several groups of photo-
graphs to the Board, showing the proposed sites for the driveway.
He said this request meets the requlremgnts for a variance under section
18-36(f) of the Subdivision Ordinance. The Subdivision Ordinance allows for
waivers in the case of existing development,~he said, and he interprets this
to mean the development existing at the time~of the subdivision proposed by
the Davises, not the division that created the original parcel on
September 28, 1984. Mr. James Davis' house ~onstitutes an existing
development, he said, and should be granted ~he waiver.
If a driveway were to be built across t~e front of the property to the
proposed 20-foot right-of-way, it would interfere with the water line serving
this property, a utility line and a septic system. If the driveway were built
down the western side of the property, it wo~ld traverse hills and gullies and
between 200 and 300s tree would have to be c~t. He said this would signifi-
cantly degrade the environment. He said his iclients are not seeking a special
privilege or convenience; they believe that ~his request for a variance should
be granted on the grounds set forth in section 18-36(f) of the Subdivision
Ordinance. ~
Since no one else wished to speak concerning this appeal, Mr. Way closed
the public hearing and placed the matter before the Board.
506
August 10, 1988 (Regular Day Meetingl
(Page 6)
Mr. Lindstrom said he thinks the water line is buried deeply enough to
withstand a driveway running on top of it and the driveway could be designed
to bypass the well.
Mr. Perkins, who visited the site with Mr. Bain, said building a driveway
over the water line will make the line more likely to freeze, even if the
water line is located below the freeze line. He said he thinks the most
practical thing to do is to approve the waiver based on the topography of the
lot and the environment of the area. He said building the second driveway
will cause runoff into the watershed, but he does not think one more entrance
onto Route 751 is going to make the road unsafe.
Mr. Bain said the Board, the Planning Commission and VDoT have been
trying to reduce the number of private entrances onto public roads for years.
He said this is a close case, but he believes a reasonabie alternative for a
driveway does exist. For this reason, and because he supports the reduction
of private roads spilling onto state routes, he said he Will not support the
request for a waiver.
Mr. Lindstrom asked Mr. St. John about the dispute over the term "exist-
ing structures". Mr. St. John said he does not like to admit it, but he
disagrees with the staff's interpretation of this term. He believes the term
"existing" refers to the conditions now, as the application comes before the
Board. If the term "existing" is ambiguous, he said, the property owner has
the benefit of the doubt. He said the applicant may hav~ brought this hard-
ship upon himself, but he believes that a judge would side with the applicant.
Mr. Home said he must reluctantly disagree with the opinion just pre-
sented by the County Attorney. For the past eight years~'., he said, the Plan-
ning Commission has interpreted the term "existing development" to mean the
development that existed before the passage of the Subdigision Ordinance. If
the condition is applied as the County Attorney suggests~!' there will be many
applicants who build their houses in inconvenient locations, subdivide their
property and complain that they cannot comply with the O~.dinance. He said he
does not believe that Mr. Davis was aware of the Ordinanda when he built his
house, but other applicants might try to circumvent the ~dinance by building
their houses in difficult locations. If a judge is goingi to interpret "exist-
ing structures" as Mr. St. John suggested, Mr. Horne said~i he thinks this part
of the Ordinance should be clarified to convey the meani~g intended by the
staff. ~!
Despite the dispute of the meaning of this condition~, Mr. }tome conclud-
ed, the staff recommended that this request be denied bec~ause the staff
believes a driveway serving both houses can be built on t~his property. He
said many such requests have passed through the Planning ~epartment. Waiving
the requirements in this case will make it very difficulti~ilfor the staff to
enforce this section of the ordinance, he said. i!i
Mr. Lindstrom said he believes the focus of the Ordinance is not to make
it convenient for property owners to divide their land, b~t to preserve the
public investment, in this case, in Route 751, which serves this development.
He said he has not heard counsel for the applicant say Mr[ Davis cannot meet
the requirements of the Ordinance, but that it is inconvehient for him to meet
these requirements. ~
Mr. Perkins said he would agree to this argument if the road in question
were Route 250 instead of Route 751. He said there is little traffic on Route
751 and it is unlikely to increase, because nearly all the lots on this road
have been developed. He said he is more concerned that the County help people
in these situations, because they cannot be expected to know every County
ordinance. He said he supports waiving the requirement a~d allowing the
applicant an additional 20-foot easement to serve the property behind his lot.
Motion was offered by Mr. Perkins, seconded by Mrs. ~ooke, to approve the
waiver request. There was no further discussion. Roll w~s called and the
motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
ABSENT:
Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Perkins and Way.
Messrs. Bain and Lindstrom.
Mr. Bowie.

(Note: The Board recessed at 10:56 A.M and reconvened at 11:05 A.M.)
Agenda Item No. 9. Tow Truck Policy.
Mr. Agnor presented to the Board a revised policy on the use of wreckers
by the County Police Department. He said the policy is ready to be imple-
mented on September 1, 1988. A policy was first adopted by the Police Depart-
ment in 1984, and reviewed and amended in 1986. The 1988 revisions include an
expanded record system of calls for service, both those from vehicle owners
and those from officers. The responsibility for maintaining the records, and
contacting the wrecker operators listed on the rotation list, is being trans-
ferred from the 911 Emergency Dispatch Center to the ServiceDivision of the
Police Department. A service area map has been drawn to delineate areas that
can be reached in approximately twenty minutes by the wrecker service being
called.
Mr. Agnor said that recommendatiOns from wrecker service operators have
been included in this policy. Any ideas rejected were discussed with the
wrecker service operators who participated in the review process.
Mr. Way said the need for a revised policy on the use of wreckers was
brought to his attention a few months ago. He thanked the staff and wrecker
operators for working together to revise this policy to everyone's satisfac-
tion. ·
Mr. Jack Marshall of the Airport Auto C&nter, addressed the Board and
said his service is listed in Sector One along with other services, such as
Herring Wrecker, which must send wreckers from as far as Fifth Street
Extended. He said he does not think these services could answer a call on
U.S. Route 29 North at Airport Road in 20 minutes or less. In the case of an
accident involving two vehicles, he said, itl, does not make sense to him to
call in two different wrecker services. He laid he suggested that the same
service handle both vehicles and be skipped ~ne turn in the rotation, but he
was told this could not be done. NevertheleSs, he said, he is grateful for
the revised policy, because he thinks now he3iwill get his fair share of
business. ~
If any service consistently takes longer than 20 minutes to answer a
call, Mr. Agnor said, the sector for that service will be limited. He said
the wrecker operators suggested that more than one company be called in to
handle multi-vehicle accidents. ~
Mr. Marshall said he is concerned that the company closest to the acci-
dent may not be called in, just because it w~s not that company's turn. He
said the policy should be flexible enough to i~allow the wrecker service closest
to the accident to handle the call and then ~kip over that company later to
distribute the business evenly.
Mr. Way said the revised policy should be given a chance to work; adjust-
ments may be made later.
Agenda Item No. 12. Public Hearing: To consider revocation of Special
Permits 77-83 and 83-5, issued to David Lee Spradlin. (Advertised in the
Daily Progress on July 26 and August 2, 1988.i)
Mr. Charles Burgess, Zoning Administrator, addressed the Board and said
Mr. Spradlin has violated the conditions of SP-77-83, allowing the operation
of a public garage, and SP-83-5, permitting the use of a mobile home for
office space. He said Mr. Spradlin was alloWed to have no more than two
inoperable vehicles on his property; as of August 9, 1988, there were 150
inoperable vehicles. Since July 9, 1982, th~ Zoning Department has issued
four notices to Mr. Spradlin warning him of His violation of this condition.
On November 21, 1983, the Zoning Department obtained a warrant charging Mr.
Spradlin for having inoperable vehicles on his property. Mr. Burgess said Mr.
Spradlin was found guilty in General Distric6iCourt, fined and ordered to
remove the vehicles. These vehicles were removed on January 3, 1984. By
May 22, 1987, there were approximately 500 i~operable vehicles on this prop-
erty and Mr. Spradlin received a notice from ~the Zoning Department telling him
508
August 10, 1988 (Regular Day Meeting
(Page 8)
that the junk yard he was operating was not permitted. Once again, a warrant
was issued and on June 13, 1988, the General District Court found Mr. Spradlin
guilty, fined him and ordered the removal of the remaining 200 inoperable
vehicles from his property.
On August 9, 1988, Mr. Burgess said, Mr. Benjamin Dick, legal counsel for
Mr. Spradlin, filed two applications with the Zoning Department: a request
for an amendment to the special use permit to allow him to keep the inoperable
vehicles currently on the property and, a request for an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance to change the definition of "public garage" to include the
salvage and demolition of vehicles. Mr. Burgess said that Mr. Kenny Thacker,
the zoning officer who has handled this case for the past four years, is
present today and will answer any questions abOut the site.
Mr. Way opened the public hearing and asked Mr. Dick if he wished to
address the Board.
Although he is now a lawyer, Mr. Dick said, he was the Zoning Administra?
tor when SP-77-83 was approved. He said he performed the first inspection of
this property and noted that Mr. Spradlin had complied with the conditions of
the special use permit. He said he thinks the Board should take this
opportunity, not to revoke these permits, but to help Mr~ Spradlin, a
hard-working man, deal with the Zoning Ordinance. He said he has reviewed all
the documentation for this case, and found no sign of the' County's willingness
to help Mr. Spradlin, no suggestion that he might requesf a rezoning or a new
special permit, or that the definition of "public garage!i does not work.
'~ He said Mr.
Mr. Dick said Mr. Spradlin has a thriving business.~j
Spradlin's neighbors support his business and he presented a petition signed
by over 200 citizens asking that the Board either amend ~he special permits or
the Zoning Ordinance. He said residents in the southern~ipart of the County
need the services provided by Mr. Spradlin and pointed out that even Mr.
Spradlin's competitors, Mr. Grant Cosner and Mr. Charlie'i~ingrea, signed the
petition. Mr. Dick said there is no salvage yard in the~southern part of the
County and it costs residents $20 to $50 more to have an old car towed to the
nearest salvage yard in the City. He said Mr. Dick has ~ business license, a
State salvage license and pays County taxes on his business. He said he
believes that the Zoning Department asked that the State,revoke this salvage
license, but the State has not complied with this reques~i.
Mr. Dick said many citizens have resisted the changes brought about by
the Zoning Ordinance, citizens such as Mr. Bobby Sweeney,. who has run a
non-conforming junk yard along Route 53 for years despite warrants, injunc-
tions and fines. He said these citizens are fine people i~and have the right tc
have their businesses in the County, even though they do '.inot have a lot of
money to put into their businesses. He said the busines~ operated by Mr.
Spradlin may not be attractive, but it is honorable. ~
Mr. Dick said he thinks a public hearing should be held on whether the
Zoning Ordinance is so restrictive that it disallows wha~ should be considered
a typical use for a modern garage. Perhaps "garage" to ay now means an
operation like Jim Price Chevrolet, he said, where everything is squeaky-
clean. ~
Mr. Dick said Mr. Spradlin's operation is not visible from the road and
is backed by a dense pine forest. He said friends and m~bers of the familY
live on either side of the garage and they do not complaih~ about the business
He thinks this would be the first time the Board has revved a special use
permit, he said, and he cannot believe that the members ~f the Board would be
that hard on this man and his family. He said this business is needed in the
southern part of the County and his client is willing to ~omply with any
conditions the Board may place on an amended special use ~ermit. He asked
that the Board not revoke the special use permits but allgw the requests for
an amended permit to go through the normal process. He s~id he is not sure h~
and his client will go through with the request for rezonmng; perhaps Mr.
Spradlin's business is better suited to an industrial zone.
Ms. Athlene Harris said she owns and lives on five agres of property nex~
to Mr. Spradlin. She said the vehicles on Mr. Spradlins' ~property are visible
August 10, 1988 (Regular Day Meeting)
(Page 9)

from her house, especially in the winter, and pose a possible danger to her
three-year old son.
Since no one else wished to speak to this issue, Mr. Way closed the
public hearing and placed the matter before the Board.
Mr. St. John said he believes the Board has several procedural choices in
this case: act on the matter before it today, the revocation of the special
use permits, and treat the zoning application as a separate matter; or defer
action on the revocation and take time to consider Mr. Dick's suggestions and
the applications he has filed. In his opinion, the definition of a junk yard
in the Zoning Ordinance covers an automobile salvage yard, which can be
operated only in areas zoned Heavy Industrial and only with a special use
permit. He said Mr. Spradlin is running a de facto junk yard, which is a
violation of the Zoning Ordinance. If the Board feels there is truth in Mr.
Dick's comments, then perhaps the Board should consider rezoning. He urged
the Board to revoke the license or consider amending the special use permit or
rezoning, because this business clearly violates the Zoning Ordinance and the
staff must enforce the Ordinance. Either the Ordinance must be changed or the
illegal business suppressed, he concluded.
Mr. Way said he has been aware of this violation for some time. While
many people in the area may support the business, many do not. He agreed that
there may be a need for this service in this part of the County and Mr.
Spradlin has the reputation of doing a goodljob. He said he has no objection
to considering some of Mr. Dick's suggestionS, but he does not think the Board
should condone an operation that has been illegal for quite some time now. He
said he would be willing to hear Mr. Spradlin's request for rezoning.
Mr. St. John said he recently handled ai!.case dealing with a salvage yard
in Louisa County and learned that there are ,many environmental issues involved
with a salvage yard. He said 500 vehicles can generate a lot of gasoline and
oil and there are stringent requirements concerning the handling of petroleum
products during the dismantling of vehicles ~n a salvage yard.
If this were a new application before t~ie Board, Mr. Way said, the Board
could impose conditions to insure the safe d~sposal of petroleum products. He
said Mr. Spradlin may even be helping the ar~a; otherwise, residents might
just tow their old cars out to the woods. H~ said he thinks the problem
should be handled from a beginning point, so !these conditions can be imposed.
That the Board is even considering a zoning text amendment or amending
the conditions, Mr. Lindstrom said, testifie~ to Mr. Dick's "silver tongue".
He said he thinks the Board should remember the history of this case and
question the utility of amending the conditiHns because Mr. Spradlin has
repetitively violated one condition for the Past ten years. He said everyone
in the County is expected to abide by the Zoning Ordinance. How can the Board
take the big offenders to court if it does nat make the small offenders comply
with the Ordinance, he asked. He said he th~nks changing the law to encourage
compliance is a travesty and allows one indigidual to flout the law in a way
that encourages everyone to disobey the law. He said he has the obligation to
hear any amendment to the Zoning Ordinance teat is proposed in the proper
procedure and at the proper time, but such an application is not before the
Board now. ~
Mr. Lindstrom said the only reason this !l~problem has gone on as long as it
has is because Mr. Spradlin and his represen~atives have repeatedly promised
to comply with the Ordinance, have complied for a while and then things
returned to the way they were. He said no one from this area has asked that
the zoning be changed in this part of the CoUnty until now. He thinks the
time to consider amending the special use permit or changing the zoning is
when applications for the aforementioned are !before the Board. He said it
seems to him that the only issue before the Board today is whether to revoke
the permit after it has been violated for ten years. He said he believes that
deferring action or amending the permit will ~destroy any incentive for the
staff to enforce the Ordinance fairly and se~ a precedent for other business
people and developers who find it inconvenient to comply with County regula-
tions. He said it appalls him that one person can appear before the Board
with a good speech and the resolve behind the Zoning Ordinance crumbles.

Mr. Bain said Mr. Spradlin or his representative could have filed for an
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance years ago. If the Zoning Ordinance is not
enforced, he said, the County might as well not have one. He said it boggles
his mind to think the Board might be expected to do something other than
revoke these permits today.
Mrs. Cooke said she agrees with Mr. Lindstrom and Mr. Bain and she thinks
the Board should deal with the matter before it today.
Mr. Dick asked if he could address some of the concerns expressed by
Board members. He said Mr. Spradlin asked for an amendment to his special use
permit and his request was approved by the Board in 1985~ He said Mr.
Spradlin's legal counsel in those days did not advise his client as to the
options he could pursue, such as requesting that his property be rezoned. He
said he does not think his client should be penalized for his ignorance of the
zoning law.
Mr. Lindstrom asked if Mr. Spradlin is also ignorant of the conditions
attached to his special use permit.
Mr. Dick said his client keeps vehicles because people keep bringing them
to him. He said the Board had the chance to revoke the special use permit in
1983 and did not. He said revoking this permit now woul~i deny the citizens a
chance to be heard.
Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Mr~i Bain, to revoke
SP-77-83 and SP-83-5. There was no further discussion. ~Roll was called and
the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Mr. Bain, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom, Perkins and Way.

Agenda Item No. 8. Discussion: Telephone System Study.
Mr. Agnor presented the following memorandum, dated lAugust 4, 1988:
"As a result of incorporating rescue squad dispatchfng in the 911
Center, the City, County and the University formed ~ijoint committee
to look at the long range radio telecommunications meeds of the three
jurisdictions with a future goal of integrating and ~oordinating
these systems. An outgrowth of the committee's effort was a recogni-
tion that a separate study was necessary to assess the telephone and
data transmission needs of the County and the City iR light of
expanding requirements, demands for service and the ~mpact of
changing technology. To determine the feasibility a~d the cost of
such a study, an RFP was issued jointly by the City ~nd the County to
obtain the services of an independent telecommunications consulting
firm.
The decision to pursue a study at this time, at leas~ for the County,
is the critical need to supplement or replace our ex~sting telephone
system which is close to maximum use of its capabilities. When the
existing system was installed in 1981, it was recognized that in five
to seven years an expansion would be required. In 1986, the system
reached capacity, and a reduction in the number of i~struments was
accomplished by removing infrequently used extension~, and by taking
Federal and State agencies in the building off the s~stem, thereby
encouraging those agencies to install their own separate systems.
This effort provided additional life to our system, ~hich is again
nearing capacity with thirteen extensions remaining ~or any required
expanded use. According to Centel, only by purchasing an additional
switch or replacing our present system with a digital PBX system, can
we expand this capability.
Additionally, a line study analysis completed by Cen~
that our system, designed to carry 29,400 seconds of
is now carrying an average peak load of 39,500 secon~

strong indication that the public is having difficulty dialing into
our system.
The decision to issue a joint RFP with the City was based on two
major factors: one, that there would be a cost benefit in contract-
ing the study together; and two, that there might be technological
benefits as well as economy of scale in a common system or at least
compatible systems. The RFP required a breakdown of the costs of
studying the telephone systems together and the costs of studying
them separately for each jurisdiction.
In response to the KFP, 21 proposals were submitted and are currently
under review by a staff evaluation committee composed of the Director
of Finance, Director of Information Services, Assistant Superinten-
dent for Finance and Administration and. the Management Analyst in the
County Executive's Office. The City and County committees plan to
meet on August 17 to select five or six'top firms to interview during
the last two weeks of August with an anticipated selection by
September 1. If approved, the consulting firm is expected to com-
plete the first two phases of the study by January 1 with a recommen-
dation to be incorporated into the FY 1989-90 budget cycle.
The proposal itself consists of five separate phases: Phase I,
Analysis of Existing Systems; Phase II,ilAssessment of Future Needs
and Options; Phase III, Preparation of Bidding Specifications;
Phase IV, Bid Evaluation; and Phase V, System Implementation. The
proposals for the first two phases indicate an average cost of
$38,850 with the County portion estimated to be approximately $20,000
to $25,000. The cost of the study woul~ increase by 12 percent to 33
percent if contracted separately by thei'l"County, dependent upon which
proposal would be accepted.
Having determined an approximate cost t~ begin the updating of our
telephone system with a technical studyi~of our options, and knowing
the estimated savings to contract for the study with the City, staff
requests your approval to proceed with the first two phases as
outlined above to provide hard costs fo~ the FY 89-90 budget. The
study can be funded with the unspent bal~ance of the 911 budget in FY
87-88 allocated for rescue squad implementation costs. The Radio-
Telecommunications study is proceeding, .~but due to the complexity and
diversity of the systems involved is stfll in the information gather-
ing and planning stage. The joint committee expects to send out an
RFP for the radio study in the fall."
Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom andlseconded by Mr. Perkins to
authorize the staff to proceed with the first two phases of the study as
outlined in the August 4 memorandum. There was no further discussion. Roll
was called and the motion carried by the folIowing recorded vote:
AYES: Mr. Bain, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrdm, Perkins and Way.
NAYS: None.
ABSENT: Mr. Bowie.
Agenda Item No. 13. Request to set a pUblic hearing for extension of
Albemarle County Service Authority jurisdictional area for water and sewer to
Tax Map 56, Parcel 67.
Mr. Martin Schulman made his request to the Board in a letter dated July
9, 1988, which is on file in the Clerk's offiee.
Mr. Horne said Mr. Schulman has also requested a special use permit to
operate a veterinary practice on Lhis property. I-Ie said the property is on
the north side of Route 240, across from Con ~gra. If the Board chooses to
set this request for public hearing, Mr. I-Iorne said, the staff assumes that
the Board will consider the special use permi~ at the same time.
Mr. Home said the staff has no recommendation at this time concerning
Mr. Shulman's request for extension of water and sewer service. He said it
512
August 10, 1988 (Regular Day Meeting
(Page 12
would be unusual for the Planning Department to recormnend the extension of
sewer service outside the growth area. He said the staff must also consider
that the applicant is requesting that water and sewer service be extended to a
new facility, rather than an existing one. Nor has the applicant demonstrated
that there is a problem with the existing water supply.
Mr. Lindstrom said Mr. Schulman claims that excessive levels of
Trichloroethylene, an industrial chemical and carcinogen; have been detected
in a well at the Acme Visible site, which borders the property on the south.
He asked the staff to check this claim.
Mr. Lindstrom said he does not think the service area for sewer has been
extended since the boundaries were set. Mr. St. John asked Mr. Horne if
extending the boundaries for sewer service would require a revision of the
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Home said marginal changes in the service area could
be made without revising the Comprehensive Plan, but this may not be a margin-
al change, since the request is for service to a new facility outside a growth
area.
Mr. Perkins asked if anyone has estimated the cost of extending the
sewage line to Mr. Schulman's property. Mr. Schulman said he has made some
casual inquiries concerning the cost he will incur if the Board approves his
request. He said the closest access point is the end ofl,the sewer line behind
Starke's Market on a property contiguous to his land. He said this line ends
about 800 feet from a potential building site on his property.
Mr. Perkins asked if the sewer line to Mr. Schulman!is property could be
gravity-fed. Mr. Schulman said there is a difference off'around ten feet
between the sewer line and his property, but he does not!know whether this
slope would suffice for a gravity-fed sewage line. He said it might be
possible to place a private pump at the clinic. ~
Mr. Schulman said he has been working with Mr. John ~Knapp, an architect
from Wisconsin who specializes in veterinary clinics. Mm. Schulman said Mr.
Knapp has visited the site and feels that extending the siewer line to this
property would entail only routine engineering practices.~ He said his clinic
has been on this site for six years, providing the only veterinary service
between Charlottesville and Waynesboro. He said the limited size of the
clinic is impeding the service he can provide to the area~
He said the quality of the water source for the existing site is ques-
tionable. He said excessive levels of trichloroethylene %have been found in
one of the wells at Acme Visible Records. He said he has! contacted the State
Water Control Board, the Department of Waste Management and Acme and asked
officials of the three bodies to investigate this matter.i~~ He said he is
concerned that a private firm hired by Acme is the only ~oup investigating
the problem; neither the State Water Control Board nor t~ Health Department
is studying the contamination. He said no one knows wheriA the trichloroethy-
lene is coming from; an official from Acme claims it origlfnated off the site.
Mr. Schulman said it will be at least a year before the Si~ate Water Control
Board studies the problem and publishes its findings. In~iithe meantime, he
said, he is concerned about his property, which is a natural drainage basin
for Acme. i~
Mr. Schulman said there is a water line running alon~ the southern
portion of this parcel. He said there also appears to be'i~a mistake in the
jurisdictional designation for water and sewer service tol. Tax Map 58, parcel
67A. He said his house and the current Crozet VeterinaryiClinic are on this
property and have received water and sewer service for the past eight years,
but the Tax Map does not show this parcel within the jurisdiction of the
Albemarle County Service Authority. Once this mistake is,,corrected, he said,
parcel 67 will be surrounded by four properties that are ~ithin the area
designated to receive public water and sewer service. '~
Within the past five years, he continued, waste control experts have
decided it is no longer appropriate to have canine wastes~ifrom kennel runs
channeled into traditional septic drainage fields. He said he could have a
holding tank installed on the property but he thinks the best solution for
this kind of effluent in the long run is extending a sewe= line to this
parcel. He said he has no interest in developing the property beyond the
expansion of the clinic. He said this parcel was in the ~rowth area until
1983, when the Board decided to down-zone land that dramned into the
August 10, 1988 (Regular Day Meeting)
(Page 13)
513
Lickinghole Creek drainage area. He said he believes the building site he is
considering is set back at least 200 feet from the stream. One of the reasons
he wishes to relocate the clinic, he said, is to allow the building to be set
back further from the stream than it is now.
Motion was offered by Mr. Perkins and seconded by Mrs. Cooke, to set a
public hearing for extension of Albemarle County Service Authority service
area boundaries for water and sewer to Tax Map 56, Parcel 67, to coincide with
the special use permit requested by Mr. Schutman.
Mr. St. John asked if the Board intended to go through the process of
revising the Comprehensive Plan with the Planning Commission. Mr. Horne said
he does not think this case merits a revision of the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Lindstrom said he has a problem with the idea of extending sewer
service to an area that is incompatible with the Comprehensive Plan. He said
he thinks it would be appropriate to have the opinion of the Planning Commis-
sion on this request. Mr. Home said it would be easy for the Commission to
review the Comprehensive Plan in light of this request.
Mr. Bain said he would support the motion for a public hearing but he
does not think he can support the request to extend sewer service.
In his motion, Mr. Perkins included that the Board request comments from
the Planning Commission as to whether a Comprehensive Plan Amendment is
necessary. Mrs. Cooke agreed to the amended~motion. There was no further
discussion. Roll was called and the motion Carried by the following recorded
vote:
AYES: Mr. Bain, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom, Perkins and Way.
NAYS: None.

Not Docketed: At 12:40 P'.M., a motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom and
seconded by Mr. Bain for an executive session on legal matters pertaining to
the Flea Market on Route 250 East; legal aspects of the Spradlin revocation;
and personnel matters. Roll was called and ~he motion carried by the follow-
ing recorded vote:

Public Hearing: Ordinance creating a Community
(Advertised in the Daily Progress July 26 and
Mr. Agnor explained that the staff had made the corrections requested by
the Board in the operating procedures for this group, but the Board does not
need to adopt the procedures.
Mr. Way opened the public hearing. SinCe no one wished to speak to this
ordinance, Mr. Way closed the public hearing 'and placed the matter before the
Board.
Mr. Lindstrom said he had been concerned about the function of the
community service officers. He said "crime prevention" is listed as one of
their functions, a term nebulous enough to encompass many things he would
rather the volunteers not attempt. He said h~e thought the term "crime preven-
tion'' would be excised from the revised ordinance but he sees that it is still
listed as a function of the community serviceiofficer.
Mr. Agnor said that "crime prevention" i~ intended to include activities
such as the Neighborhood Watch program, citizens' groups, and anti-drug
programs in the schools. Mr. Lindstrom suggested a change to the fourth
paragraph of the proposed ordinance. ;

Mrs. Cooke asked how much it would cost the County to establish the
Community Service Force. Mr. Agnor said it would cost between $4000 and $5000
to furnish between 20 and 25 volunteers with uniforms and equipment.
Mrs,. Cooke said the lack of public interest concerns her. Not even a
representative from the Police Department showed up at the public hearing, she
said. Mr. Agnor said he told the Police Department staff that it was not
necessary for any of them to speak at the public hearing~ since they had met
many times with the committee seeking to establish the volunteer force. Mr.
Way pointed out that Mr. Bowie served on this committee.
Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom and seconded by Mr. Perkins to adopt
the ordinance as advertised with the amended language in Paragraph Four, Line
Five as follows: ". . . control, to provide public education and information
in crime detection " Mr. Lindstrom aslso suggested that this same
language be included in "Level 2" of the Operating Procedures. There was no
further discussion. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following

Mr. Horne said the staff has been working with the developer of Forest
Lakes subdivision for the past few months. Of particular interest to both
parties, Mr. Horne said, is the design of a roadway that runs through the
subdivision and that has been shown as part of the alignment for the Meadow
Creek Parkway. He said this road would lie in the area north of the lake in
Hollymead.
Mr. Horne said the staff has discussed this matter with VDoT in an
attempt to come up with an ultimate design for the roadway if it is to become
part of the parkway. He said the staff must reach an agreement with VDoT in
order to be allowed to have the road built to less than ultimate standards,
and absolving VDoT from having to upgrade the road when and if it becomes a
part of the Meadow Creek Parkway. He said VDoT has agreed to allow the road
to be built to lower standards under certain conditions. One of these condi-
tions is that the road be built so that no more than three inches would have
to be added to bring the road up to its final, two-lane capacity.
Mr. Home pointed out sections of the road of the Timberwood Boulevard
and said all but the yellow section, 300 feet long and in Category 2, could be
built by the developer now and would meet the condition mentioned above. The
section of the Category 2 road would have to be built up more in order to meet
the VDoT's condition, but the County cannot require the developer to add more
asphalt. Mr. Horne said he recommlends that the Board authorize the expendi-
ture of the funds necessary to bring this section of the road up to a level
acceptable to the VDoT. He estimated that this project would cost around
$18,000. If the Board does not authorize t~is expenditure, he said, the
developer cannot provide public road access to internal subdivision streets
and the staff will not be able to grant occupancy permits to houses in this
area because they will not have access to a public road.
Motion was offered by Mr. Bain and seco~ded by Mrs. Cooke that the staff
be authorized to proceed with the section or, roadway to be called Timberwood
Boulevard in Forest Lakes Subdivision on the!~.southernmost end of the Roudabush
and Gale plat, before the Board today, and which Mr. Horne indicated is about
a 300 foot section, with the understanding that the Board may need to appro-
priate from the Capital Improvement Program ~udget approximately $18,000 to
thicken the asphalt to VDoT standards. Ther~ was no further discussion. Roll
was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:

The County is fiscal agent for a joint Federal grant with the City of
Charlottesville (TIPS). The grant provides funds for training of school
students in crime awareness. The grant was concluded in FY 86-87, however,
additional revenues were received resulting from the sale of training materi-
als developed by the staff, copyrighted and sold to other~jurisdictions.
The current fund balance in the TIPS Fund is $1,669.27 and that amount
needs to be appropriated for FY 88-89. This will close out all activities of
