Item No. 4.5. Report of Department of Social Services for May and June 1984, with letter
'rom the Director dated July 16, 1984:
"Although the level of expenditures remains approximately the same, reimbursements
for the month of May will show a significant decline. This is because it has taken the
State eight months to begin reducing the County's reimbursement by the amount of local
dollars (match requirement) expended since September 1983 in programs now on the Virginia
Client Information Center (VACIS) - the State computer system we have been piloting for
over two years. Now that they have gotten "caught up", there should be monthly withholding
for all checks written.
The months of April, May and June were particularly hectic for our service staff. A
large number of Child Protective Service complaints were made -- sometimes as many as
seven or eight a week -- that stretched the capability of our staff to the maximum. That
demand has decreased considerably in the past three to four weeks, but will likely pick up
again in the fall -- if past trends repeat themselves.
The special "Jobs Bill" money we received in FY 83-84 has been of tremendous help to
a fairly large number of unemployed persons who had exhausted their unemployment benefits.
These funds were used primarily to prevent evictions or foreclosures and utility cut-offs.
Several of those assisted have since become employed and commented that, without our help,
they would not have been able to get through a very difficult period.
The next report will highlight some of the budgetary and programmatic changes effectiv,
July 1, 1984."
Agenda Item No. 5. ZMA-84-11. Woodbriar Associates. (Defferred from June 20, 1984). Mr.
!ucker reported to the Board that the applicant had requested a deferral to August 15, 1984 due
;o his inability to attend the July 18 meeting.
Mrs. Cooke made motion to grant the deferral. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindstrom and
,assed by the following vote:
.YES:

Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Way.

Agenda Item No. 6. SP-84-3.5. James M. and Betty C. H~ggs. To locate a single-wide
mobile home on 1.57 acres zoned Rural Areas. Located on the east side of Route 795, 1 1/2
miles south of its intersection with Route 620. County Tax Map 103, Parcel 2H, Scottsville
District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on July 3 and July 10, 1~84.)
Mr. Tucker presented the following staff report:
"Request: Mobile home
Acreage:. 1.57 acres
Zoning:. Rural Areas
Location: Property, described as Tax Map 103, Parcel 2H (Lot 4), is located on the east
side of Route 795, about 1 1/2 miles south of its intersection with Route 620.
Character of the Area: Route 795 in this area is developed with many single-family resi-
dences (about 32 residences visible from the road in approximately 1/2 mile
radius from the site). There are few mobile homes in this area, staff counted
two or three between Route 620 and Route 795 at Blenheim.
The adjacent properties to the north and south each have a single-family dwellin
The property directly across Route 795 is_woo~ed near.She road. A mobile hQme
is located across Route 795 to the south. The subject property is wooded.
Route 795 between Route 620 and Route 727 carries 332 vehicle trips per day and
is listed as tolerable.
STAFF COMMENT: Owners of the two single family homes which are directly adjacent to the
site to the north and south have submitted written objections.
The applicant proposes to locate the home about 250 to 300 feet from the state
road, about 150 feet from the rear property line and 45 feet minimum from the
side property lines. The lot is about 150 feet wide.
Should the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors choose to approve this
petition, staff recommends the following conditions:
Compliance with Section 5.6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance;
Mobile home to be located as described on sketch submitted with the special
use permit;
Clearing of trees to be limited to driveway and house site."
At the conclusion of the staff report Mr. Tucker told the Board that one adjacent property
owner did not receive prior written notification of the public hearing because the owners had
just moved into the area. He added that the property owners were aware of the hearing because
they submitted a written protest to the placement of the mobile home· Mr. Tucker said no one
was present at the Planning Commission hearing on July 17 to object in person. Mr. Tucker said
.the Planning Commission has recommended approval with the conditions in the staff report.
Mrs Cooke ~ ~ ~r /-~r~
· · the Board that the Planning Commission was very concerned that the propert~
owners mentioned by Mr. Tucker had not been contacted because all communication with the said
property owners has been through a third party., The Planning Commission wanted to be certain
that the property owners were notified when the Board of Supervisors heard the petition· Mrs.
Cooke asked Mr. Tucker if phone calls made to the property owners on the afternoon of July 18,
1984, constituted sufficient notification of the meeting. Mrs. Cooke said she was concerned
that the Board would be unable to act on the petition. Mr. Tucker told her that his staff had
left messages for the property owners, even though they did not contact them directly by phone.
Mr. St. John said that if the Department of Planning and Community Development can show in its
records that the property owners had adequate notice, then the'legal requirements for the
hearing have been satisfied.
..; Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Tucker if the records show that the property owners had adequate
notice. Mrs. Cooke said her understanding was that the property owners were aware only that a
mobile home permit was being sought. She said her impression had been that they had not been
notified by the County about the hearing, but had only heard of it through .the notice that was
sent to the previous owner of the property, who, when he received it, notified the present
owners that a mobile home permit was being sought.
Mr. Fisher examined the letter of protest from the present owners and told the Board that
it refers to the County's notification. Mr. St. John said this would satisfy the legal require.
ments.
The public hearing was opened at this.time.
M~. Ralph Kozler, representing Mr. and Mrs. H!ggs,; told 'the Board he had no comments but
would answer questions. The Board offered none, and there being no one else to speak for or
against the petition, the public hearing was clo.s.ed..
Mr. Way asked if the mobile home would be visible from the road and Mr. Tucker said it
would be located between 125 and 150 feet away from Route 795 in a wooded area, and he did not
think it would be visible. If, however, it proved to be too visible, Mr. Tucker said Section
5.6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the applicants to provide screening to' the reasonable~'
satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator.
Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Kozler if the applicants intended to.make the trailer their only
residence and was told that they do.
Mr. Lindstrom then made motion to approve SP-84-35 with the conditions recommended by the
Planning Commission. Mr. Henley seconded the motion which passed by the following recorded
vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Way.

acres and zoned Rural Areas. Located on north side of Route 676 approximately 1/2 mile east of
Route 660. County Tax Map 44, Parcel 14. Jack Jouett District. (Advertised in the Daily
Progress on July 3 and July 10, 1984).

Agenda Item No. 8. SP-84-40. Maple Grove Christian Church. To locate a church on 4.1
acres zoned R-1 Residential. Located on south side of Route 649, 3/10 mile east of~Route 29
North. County Tax Map 32, Parcel 29G. Rivanna District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on
July 3 and July 10, 1984).
Mr. Tucker presented the following staff report:
"Reques~.~>~hurch~(13.2.2.10)
Acreage: 4Jl~a~res
Zoning: R-1 R~sidential
Location: Property, described as Tax Map 32, Parcel 29G, is located on the
south side of Route 649 (Proffit Road) about 3/10 mile east of
Route 29 North.
Character of the Area: This property is currently developed with a single family dwelling
and detached garage. Property to the east is wooded while properties to the
south and west are in residential usage. Across Route 649 is the Full Gospel
Chapel. An eight inch public waterine is located along the south side of Route
649. The Fire Official has recommended installation of a hydrant at the site.
Public sewer is remote from the site. Virginia Department of Highways and
Transportation has recommended improvement to sight distance and installation of
a commercial entrance and turn lane at Route 649.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends low-density residential and commercial uses in
this area.
STAFF COMMENT: The applicant proposes a church bUilding to seat about 250 people in the
sanctuary. The church would receive other usage about five days per week (i.e.
choir, business meetings, etc. attended by about 30-40 people). No day school
or nursery school uses are proposed. The existing dwelling would be maintained
as a parsonage while other buildings would likely be removed. Staff recom-
mends approval subject to the following conditions:
1)
a)
Virginia Department of Health approval of two septic drainfield
locations prior to Commission review of site plan;
Virginia Department of Highways & Transportation approval
of commercial entrance location prior to Commission review
of site plan."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission at its meeting of July 10, 1984, voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the petition with the two conditions listed in the staff report.
Mr. Fisher remarked that the church location is within the Hollymead growth area and
within the public water and sewer service areas. He then opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ed Leake represented the church and told the Board that most of the necessary inform-
ation had been covered in the staff report. He offered to answer questions. Mr. Fisher asked
if there is any indication that access to the road will be a problem. Mr. Tucker said the
Highway Department will have to approve the entrance driveway site plan review. Mr. Fisher
then asked Mr. Leake if the church is ready to present a site plan if the petition is approved.
Mr. Leake replied that the church is taking the building process one step at a time and that
the Special Use Permit is the first step. He said the church hopes to start a building program
within the nex~ two years.
Mr. Oliver McCauley told the Board during the hearing that he also supports the church's
petition. There being no one else to speak for or against the petition, the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Lindstrom made motion to approve SP-84-40 with the two conditions recommended by the
Planning Commission. Mr. Bowie seconded the motion, which passed by the following recorded

Agenda Item No. 9. CPA-84-5. Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan with respect to'drain-
age improvements in the Bennington Woods and Four Seasons areas. (Advertised in the Daily
Progress on July 3 and July 10, 1984.)
Mr. Tucker presented the following staff report:
2-..96
July 18~ 1984..(Regular Night. Meeting)
"The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting of May 29, 2984, adopted a
Resolution of Intent to amend the Comprehensive Plan with respect to drainage improvements
in the Four Seasons area and the. Bennington Woods area.
On April 3, 1984, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the Board bf
S~pervisors adoption of CPA-84-3 (Drainage Improvements Plan), reserving, however, recom-
mendations on two projects -, 4,21 Four'Seasons and 4.26 Bennington Woods, .pending further
study by the County Engineer.. The Board of Supervisors concurred with this action on May
2, 1984.
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan for 4.21 and 4.26 have been prepared for your review.
These amendments are to be inserted under Priority I projects in the Urban Drainage
Improvements section in Chapter 14 Community Facilities and Utilities Plans.
Priority I prqjects include:
Project Number
Title and Description
4.21
Four Seasons Detention Basin - Construction of a 1.9 acre
basin 9.5 feet deep surrounding the existing. Four Seasons
Lake with a one and one-half foot berm, lowering of the
normal pool by three feet, and restriction of the discharge
pipe. In addition, designation of existing swale on the
south side of Four Seasons Drive adjacent to the channel as
a stormwater detention area.
4.26
Bennington Woods Channel - Specific improvements in the
Bennington Woods area to be developed at a later date by the
County Engineer."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission at its meeting on June 21, 1984, voted unanimously
to recommend adoption of CPA843, however, at a work session on the Capital Improvements Program
this afternoon, those present had discussed deleting funding of the Bennington Woods project
until the County Engineer has completed the determination of specific improvements, after
further consultation with the affected property owners.
Mr. Tucker skid the Four Seasons property owners are supportive of the Four Seasons plan.
Mr. Fisher 2aid~he~:was,~$~t~.present when the Four Seasons ~oject waS presented to the
Board on May 2, 1984, however, he has heard that this project is tied in some way with the
development of adjacent property -- that property for the drainage basin would be donated to
the CoUnty if the property were zoned to a higher density. He asked Mr. Tucker if a rezoning
request is any part of this project. Mr. Tucker replied that it is not, that the higher densit
zoning request has been withdrawn and no longer presents a problem.
Mr. Fisher ~skad. Mr.[~Mayn~r~lrod,~County Engineer, who owns the property where the
detention basin would be constructed. Mr. Elrod said there is a Lynchburg bank involved in the
development of the Four Seasons PUD. The bank has been negotiating with the Homeowners Assoc-
iations and the YMCA to dispose of the lake property. The County is not a party to those
negotiations. During the negotiations, it was decided that if the homeowners bought the propert:
from the developers, the County might negotiate to take over the existing lake for use in flood
management in the area. Mr. Fisher asked if acquisition of the lake property is connected in
any way with a pending zoning application and was told that it is not.
Mr. Fisher then opened the public hearing.
Mr. Greg Johnson of 70 Woodlake Drive and President of the Four Seasons Townhouse Associa-
tion told the Board that the Townhouse Association and the Patio House Association are discus-
sing the possibility of purchasing the common area outright, including the lake, swimming pool
and.some other tracts. Mr. Johnson said he cannot predict whether the negotiations will be
successful, the main question is whether the majority of the Four Seasons residents will agree
to the purchase. If such a purchase is made, Mr. Johnson said the homeowners would be glad to
donate the lake to the County, as long as it is maintained in its existing condition.
Mr. Johnson said he would like to add for the record that Mr. Elrod and Mr. Tom Muncaster
have tried to develop a drainage basin that satisfies the desire of the Four Seasons residents
that the lake be preserved. Both men spent a lot of time with residents of the area explaining
hydraulic models. The proposal to modify the lake is a compromise, Mr. Johnson said. Mr.
Elrod would rather be able to go with his original proposal, which was simply to eliminate the
lake, not because it would be cheaper, but because it would require less effort on his part as
far as planning goes. The residents, Mr. Johnson said, would prefer that the detention basin
be moved to the parking lot at Pizza Inn, so this is a compromise by the residents.
Mr. Johnson said the majority of the residents with whom he has discussed the plan agree
that this is the best possible solution. He said it satisfies both the'County's need to provide
flood protection and also recognizes the desire of the residents to preserve the lake.
Mr. Jim Near of Bennington Woods then came before the Board to explain the position of the
homeowners. He said two petitions were submitted to the Board at an earlier hearing on this
project. He then basically restated the feelings of the homeowners as set out in the minutes
of May 2, 1984.
Mr. Near said since there has been no particular change in the scope of this project since
the time it was brought before the Board of Supervisors in'May, he is present to ask that the
~oard not add this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan at this time.
There being no one else present to speak for or against these amendments, the public
nearing was closed.
July 18~ 1984 (Resular Night Meeting)
Mr. Tucker reminded the Board members that during a work.session on the Capital Improyemen'
budget this afternoon, it was decided to delete funding of the Bennington Woods Channel in
order to allow the County Engineer time to de¥ise a design that is suitable to the property
owners.
Mr. Lindstrom then offered motion to adopt an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
adding Priority I projects to the Urban Drainage Improvements section in Chapter 14 Community
Facilities and Utilities Plan, Projects 4.21 (Four Seasons Detention Basin), and 4.26 (Benning-
ton Woods Channel) to read:
Four Seasons Detention Basin - Construction of a 1.9 acre basin 9.5 feet deep surrounding the
existing Four Seasons Lake with a one and one-half (1 1/2) foot berm; lowering of the normal
pOOl lake by three (3) feet, and restriction of a discharge pipe. In addition, designation of
existing swale on the south side of Four Seasons Drive adjacent to the channel as a stormwater
detention area.
Bennington WOods Channel - Specific improvements in the Bennington Woods area are to be develop~
at a later date by the County Engineer. ~?~:i. :i~::.:~ ~i~,~,:?~
Mrs. Cooke seconded the foregoing motion which passed by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Mr. Bowie, Mrs. ~ooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Way.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 10. CPA-84-7. Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to delete the property
connector road from Route 742 (Avon Street Extended) to Route $31 (Fifth Street). (Advertise~
in the Daily Progress on July 3 and July 10, 1984).
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission has deferred this amendment indefinitely. This
connector road is already shown in the Comprehensive Plan, and is the road from Route 20 South
through Hillcrest to Avon Street, but there have been problems in getting the State Highway
~epartment to agree that the road can be taken into the state system. When the problem was
~entioned to the Planning Commission, the Commission discussed the addition o~ another i~ter-
change on Interstate Route ~4 where Avon Street Extended passes over it. Such an exchange
~ould reduce the need for a connecting route between Route 20 and A~on Street (Route 742). The
Planning Commission, therefore, has decided to explore the possibility of an interchange with
the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation before it looks at other options, and so
~as deferred this amendment.
Mrs. Cooke made motion to defer C?A-84-7 indefinitely. Mr. Way seconded the motion, which
~assed by the following recorded vote:
~YES:
NAYS:
Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Henley, Mr. Lindstrom and Mr. Way.
None.
Agenda Item No. 11. Draft resolution on the Piedmont Corridor.
Mr. Tucker said the staff had drafted a letter to Mr. Harold King, Highway Commissioner,
~irginia Department of Highways and Transportation, protesting the location of the proposed
Piedmont Corridor through western Albemarle County. At the Board's meeting on July ll, it was
[ecided that a resolution would be a stronger statement, so the staff has prepared such a
,esolution.
Mr. Lindstrom remarked that a paragraph might be added stating clearly the adverse con-
ditions created by any highway in the area. He suggested that a paragraph be placed near the
end of the resolution reading:
"WHEREAS studies have shown that road construction such as that likely to be neces-
sitated by the proposed Piedmont Corridor highway creates a significant potential for soil
erosion and further that the use of the completed roadway could substantially increase the
amount of pollutants, including an increased potential for hazardous substance spills in
the watershed, all of which would contribute to the deterioration of the quality of the
South Fork Rivanna Reservoir water supply;"
Mr. Lindstrom said his intention was to make the resolution stronger. He then made motion
adopt the resolution with the stronger paragraph attached. Mr. Bowie agreed that the lan~
~uage should be stronger. ~ -~~=~.~ ~.: '~ -_. ~~.,-~Ac~/~rJ~:~x~_y
Mr. St. John then suggested that the wording be made more specific in the second-to-last
paragraph that the phrase "prepared by a group of University of North Carolina researchers" be
~hanged to read "prepared by the Institute for Urban Studies, University of North Carolina,
~hapel Hill". Mr. St. John also suggested that in the final line of the resolution it read
"through the watershed of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir" because failure to clarify
the existence of the Reservoir might weaken the resolution~ Mr. Lindstrom indicated that he
~ould accept those amendments to the resolution.
The Board decided to address the original letter to Commissioner King and to send copies
~f the resolution to Senator John Warner, Senator Paul Tribble, Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson
State Senator Thomas Michie, Jr., Delegates George F. Allen and Mitchell Van Yahres, Mrs.
onstance R. Kincheloe, State Highway Commission Member for this district; Mr. Richard C.

Mr. Fisher told the Board that Mr. St. John had suggested holding a joint meeting with the
~ndustrial Development Authority to review the recent changes in Federal law concerning IDA
)ond issues and how those changes will affect the processing of applications and the fact that
lollar limits are being imposed on the State and localities.
Mr. St. John offered to undertake the responsibility of finding someone to make a presen-
;ation at such a joint meeting. He added that he would like to give some thought to the questic
and would probably select some member of the staff to make such a presentation.
Mr. Agnor said that Mr. Jim Murray, Jr., Chairman of the Industrial Development Authority,
aas already scheduled a meeting of the IDA for August 16 to have someone explain the changes,
and he would suggest that the briefing of both bodies be done simultaneously.

)ther Board members concurred.

et background information to explain in a lucid manner the many fairly complex issues of
county government.
