In response to your effort to plan ahead for this project I am enclosing material regarding the necessary County approvals which you will need. In October, 1990, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Entrance Corridor Overlay District regulations and both Route 250 East and Route 20 North were designated as Entrance Corridor streets. As a result, it appears you will need a special use permit for your expansion (Section 30.6.3.2 of the Zoning Ordinance), site plan approval, and Architectural Review Board approval. At this time the Architectural Review Board is offering to meet with applicants in an informal worksession/preliminary conference. I have enclosed a checklist of the items you would need to provide for this preliminary conference. If you have specific questions regarding the Architectural Review Board, please contact Yolanda Lipinski in our department. If you will be able to provide all the necessary materials for the site plan and building plan applications, we will do our best to review all of them concurrently and make the process as efficient as possible. If you would like a meeting to discuss the impending review of this project, I will be happy to coordinate it for you. Sincerely, Richard E. Tarbell Planner RET/blb cc: Bill Tucker wirrt r'° I t' _ )h LIAR 19 1991 PEGASUS MOTORCAR COURANT PLANNING DIVISION Aup 3//fh To: The Department of Transportation of Virginia 14 2 ,( and The County of Albermarle Planning Comission �'` '�- "'`' Dear Sirs, last fall I was aproached by your representatives and told that the Route 250 as it passes by my lot will be widened. As I can understand that progress has its drawbacks and benefits, I see a serious conflict arising from this project. It was my understanding that the widening would have no permanent effect on my business and propperty. You would require me to move my cars back for some time and would reimburse .me for the inconveniences incured thereby. I am generally not in favor of having a construction' site in my front lot and having the resulting trafic , cleanup and possible damage . The real problem that may emerge is of somewhat different nature. I believe that it can be solved easily for all partie ' s benefit if we togeather go to work on it right now . Having seen the recent emergence of litle markers on my lawn I recognize the problem. It is my plan to expand this dealership to house a seperate showroom facility for BMW. This is a condition I agreed to when I agreed to buy this franchise in the spring of 1990 . I have until 1993 to do the neccessary modifications. If I do not comply I may loose my franchise. The idea is to add a two level showroom that goes along the highway with the second floor facing the highway on level with the highway. The lower floor being level with the present showroom and facing the south side of that showroom. Between the two .showrooms there is to be a courtyard area that features the old Dogwood tree that has been there for years in the center and has a walkthrough area with possible offices along the eastern property line where my property joins the New York Carpet World. facility. This walkthrough would conect the two showrooms. Building such a facility would very much increase the cosmetic appeal of our facility and would enhance the apearance of the Route 250 area. signifficantly. In addition this is a requirement for me to continue to have .my BMW franchise. Route 250 East at Pantops • Route 13, Box 62,Charlottesville,VA 22901 • Telephone (804) 977-6060 • -4111* - . IPIEGASUS MOTORCAR COMPANY !,I AuoI 3A0/ A From the flags that have been posted it is obvious that someone plans to do something with some of my land that is earmarked for this purpose. As an architect friend explained to me the conflict seems to be limited to a conflict with the VEPCO and Centel lines. What we must do to save expense for both parties involved is to coordinate this construction such that we do not have to redo any of each other' s work. It is important that the lines are placed far enaugh to the south of my propperty line that they do not interfere with my building or that they are laid deep enaugh that they are under it. Though I had not intended to start construction with my•.project until next year I believe that it would be best if-I,.move my scedule ahead and that we do the construction at the same time , at least to the extend that I build the backwall of my building and the level for the floor of the lower floor of the new showroom ( i .e . the foundation) at this time . It spears also that if I build this after the widening 'of the road my construction would interfere with the road , and would cause unneccessary trafic and cost problems. All in all I am actually looking forward to this project as I hope that in the process of widening the road the run-off problem from the road will be stopped. At the present layout about half of the run-off from the mountain' s storm sewer runs into our yard and causes regular floods in our showroom. I would apreciate it if I could be informed about the exact plans including time-scedule on this construction and if perhaps the designers of the storm sewer could contact me thus that we can rectify the old problem. Under no circumstance should the construction start until we have addresed this problem. I apreciate your cooperation and am waiting to hear from you looking forward to solving this problem for all our best results. I will be in Europe from 3/21 to 4/4 . Please contact Mr. Tucker if time is of the essence.

TELEPHONE 973-5381 June 26, 1972 John C. Humphrey, County Planner County of Albemarle County Office Building Charlottesville, VA 22901 Re : Site Plan for Porsche-Audi Dear John, Mr. Bailey has suggested that the two parking areas on the Porsche-Audi site plan be connected. In a telephone con- versation with Mr. Bailey I found out that he had understood that the Porsche would be in the lower sales area and Audi in the upper sales area which should be connected. This is not the case, but rather Porsche-Audi is one dealership using the lower sales area, another dealership or business would be using the upper sales area , and there would be little need for the two areas to be connected. I hope this meets with your approval. If there is any other information I can give you, please call. Best regards, )/(M44/ R.

Assuming Vepco's right-of-way is as indicated on the drawing submitted by you with respect to the proposed two story masonry building, Vepco can see no reason why the property should not be developed as planned. An adequate supply of electricity is avail- able and can be furnished upon reasonable notice to the Company. Your site plan drawing is attached with our approval. Sincerely yours, P. G. Morrisette Manager PGM/rd Attachment TO Mr. Jor _ . Humphrey . County Planner FROM J . Harvey Bailey , County Engineering • SUBJECT : S Plan for Virginia Land Company , St . Rt . #20 \\. DATE • June 5 , 1972 We offer the following comments : Reference is made to Note #2 on the drawing . There seems to be ample room for the development of a 'standard intersection ( SI -1 )within the Highway right-of-way . This . should be covered in the entrance permit issued by the Department of Highways . The well site is perilously close to the property line . If there is a site which is more easily protected from surface run off out of the adjoining property , it should be used . Adequacy of the spacing of the drainfield lines should be checked . It appears to be four (4 ' ). whereas , with the minimum allowable width of 18" for a trench , the spacing is a minimum of four and one half (4 . 5 ' ) feet . This is a matter for the Health Department . We do not understand how the 15" pipe under the driveway at the rear of the building is to discharge . Some structure is indicated to prevent the water from crossing onto the adjoining lot and turn it into . the drainage swalw on the lot under considerat- ion . No paving section is shown . We recommend a minimum of 6". srushed stone and double application of asphalt surface treatment .
