Agenda Item No.9. SP-95-38. Ruth & Russell Shifflett. Public Hearing
on a request to locate bridge across Doyles River within the flood plain of
river on E sd of Rt 810 between Mount Fair & Browns Cove. TM15,P12. White
Hall Dist. This property is not located in a designated growth area.
(Advertised in the Daily Progress on January 29 and February 5, 1996.))
Mr. Cilimberg summarized the staff's report which is on file and made a
permanent part of the records of the Board of Supervisors. He said that the
Planning Commission, at its meeting on December 12, 1995, unanimously recom-
mended approval of SP-95-38, subject to six conditions.
Mrs. Humphris referred to the top paragraph of Page Two of the staff
report relating to a recommendation by staff that access easements for Parcel
28A and Parcel 13A be made a condition of approval for this bridge and,
similarly, future divisions of the subject parcel should be required to use
this crossing for access to Route 810. She said Condition Number Six states
that all future divisions of Tax Map 15, Parcel 12, shall use this stream
crossing for access to Route 810, but she pointed out that Parcels 28A and 13A
were not mentioned in this condition.
Mr. Cilimberg responded that after writing the staff report and taking
the matter to the Planning Commission it was found that legally such a
condition for access to adjacent properties could not be required. It can be
required for any further division of this property.
Mrs. Thomas asked if the adverse impact situation will be handled by the
Engineering Department. Mr. Cilimberg answered affirmatively.
n
There were no further questions for Mr. Cilimberg from Board members, so
Mrs. Humphris opened the public hearing.
The public hearing was opened. The Shiffletts were present but did not
wish to speak. With no one from the public rising to speak, the public
hearing was closed.
Motion was offered by Mr. Perkins, seconded by Mr. Martin, to approve
SP-95-38 subject to the following conditions as recommended by the Planning
Commission:
1. Albemarle County Engineering approval of final bridge plans and
details. The plans must include grading plans for the road and
abutments in the flood plain with details of culverts through the
embankment. Bridge plans must be sealed and signed by a profes-
sional engineer;
2. Albemarle County Engineering approval of hydrologic, hydraulic and
structural computations prepared by a professional engineer.
Computations shall include an analysis of the impacts to the one
hundred year flood plain;
3. Albemarle County Engineering approval of an erosion control plan
if the disturbance is more than 10,000 square feet;
n
4.
Albemarle County Engineering receipt of proof of compliance with
Federal and State agencies regulating activities affecting wet-
lands and watercourses. This will involve a Joint Permit Applica-
tion through the Virginia Marine Resources Commission;
5. Albemarle County Engineering approval of a Water Quality Impact
Assessment;
6. All future divisions of Tax Map 15, Parcel 12, shall use this
stream crossing for access to Route 810.
Roll was called on the foregoing motion which carried by the following
recorded vote:

Agenda Item No. 10. SP-95-43. Claudius Crozet Park. Public Hearing on
a request to relocate existing pool & construct addt'l recreational facilities
on 22.4 ac zoned RA known as Claudius Crozet Park. TM56A2,Sec 1,P's72&72A.
White Hall Dist. This site is recommended for public/semi-public use in the
community of Crozet. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on January 29 and
February 5, 1996.)
Mr. Cilimberg summarized the staff's report which is on file and made a
part of the permanent records of the Board of Supervisors. He said the
Planning Commission, at its meeting on December 12, 1995, unanimously recom-
mended approval of SP-95-43 subject to six conditions. Mr. Cilimberg said at
the Planning Commission there was concern expressed about the open-ended
nature for uses under Condition #1 in the staff's report. The wording of that
condition was changed by the Commission to read: "The use of the property
shall be limited to the new pool complex, new parking and new walking trails,
in addition to the uses which presently exist." Mr. Cilimberg asked that the
Board also take action on one other item in addition to the special use
permit. There is a property line which runs through the existing pool.
Because of the way the building permit regulations and the Zoning Ordinance
apply, that creates complications that would require unnecessary construction.
After consulting with the county Attorney and with the Parks and Recreation
Department, they have determined that the best way to avoid any of those
complications would be to do a property line alteration that would go around
the pool. That can be handled administratively, but staff asks that the Board
take action to authorize staff to vary the section regarding setback from
adjacent residential areas to accommodate the proposed pool under the require-
ments of the Building Code.
n
. '
Mr. Cilimberg said this petition will come under the application of the
mandatory connection changes to the ordinance recently made. It has been
determined that the new pool house and the existing community building would
be hooked to public sewer; the existing pool house septic system which will
still exist on the site will be refit to allow it to be used for recreational
vehicles (a dump station for the occasional recreational vehicle). This
matter should also be considered as part of this approval.
Mr. Perkins said he thinks the decibel level of 40 as stated in Condi-
tion #5 is extremely low. It is not much louder than a whisper. He suggested
that it be changed to 65 or 70. Mr. Cilimberg said this number was used
because it is the number shown in the supplementary regulations at this time.
Mrs. Humphris wondered how the Supervisors will know the appropriate
noi.se level. Mr. Cilimberg replied that he is unsure if he has any advice on
this matter. The noise regulation has been at the heart of some of the
discussions the Supervisors have had, and the Zoning Department staff members
have been working with this issue. The staff did not do an analysis of an
alternative decibel level.
n
Mrs. Humphris recalled some letters of complaint from neighbors about a
concert held at this park recently. Mr. Cilimberg answered that this was an
event activity the staff felt could be addressed through the conditions. This
has not existed under any special use permit previously, so the condition
regarding noise would be one way to address this issue. He reiterated,
though, that he cannot comment on the noise level of 40 decibels versus 60
decibels.
Mrs. Thomas asked if there was any type of comparison which could be
used as far as the noise levels are concerned. Mr. Martin inquired if a
comparison could be made between this project and the noise level allowed at
the tent at Boar's Head. He recalled that the maximum level at the Boar's
Head tent is 45 decibels. Mr. Tucker suggested the staff look through the
ordinance for this information while the public hearing is taking place.
Mrs. Humphris agreed to Mr. Tucker's suggestion and immediately opened
the public hearing on SP-95-43.
Mr. David Anhold, President of the Claudius Crozet Park Board, said the
project is making progress, which is due to a large part to the Board of
Supervisors' financial, as well as its overall support of the Crozet Park.
