November 3, 1982 (Adjourned from October 29, 1982)
An adjourned meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, was held
on November 3, 1982, at 3:00 P.M. in Meeting Room #7, County Office Building, Charlottesville,
Virginia; said meeting being adjourned from October 29, 1982.
Present: Mr. James R. Butler, Mrs. Patricia H. Cooke, Mr. Gerald E. Fisher, Mr. J. T.
Henley, Jr. (arrived at 3:30 P.M.), Mr. C. Timothy Lindstrom (arrived at 3:15 P.M.), and
Miss Ellen V. Nash.
Absent: None.
Officer present: County Executive, Guy B. Agnor, Jr.
Agenda Item No. 1.
Mr. Fisher.
The meeting was called to order at 3:11 P.M. by the Chai'rman,
Agenda Item No. 2. Discussion: Buck Mountain Creek Project. Mr. Fisher said that at
the meeting held on October 29, the Board had asked the County Executive and his staff to make
a complete estimate of watershed management program costs for fiscal year 1982~3to get an
idea of what the total expenses of such a program would be if all existing runoff control
devices were maintained; plus the loss in property taxes which will be sustained when land
in the Buck Mountain area is purchased and removed from the tax rolls.
Mr. Agnor presented the following memorandum dated November 3, 1982, entitled "Estimated
Legal Costs Watershed Management Program - Estimated Loss of Real Estate Revenue Relative to
Buck Mountain Reservoir Project."
"It is estimated that County legal staff costs related to reservoir protection
activities in the FY 82-83 budget year could total $27,750 of the total County's
Attorney Office budget of $118,867 (23.3%). Fees for outside attorneys occa-
sionally employed for litigation are not included. Such fees are not estimated
in the County's annual budget since they are an unknown quantity, and a decision
on an appropriation for such fees is processed on an individual case basis. As
reported earlier, since 1977, fees for outside attorneys have totalled $22,700.
Loss of real estate tax revenue to the CounTy from the purchase of the land
needed for the Buck Mountain project is estimated to be $29,200 in the current
tax year. This loss would continue on an annual basis, and would vary depending
upon assessment values and tax rates in future years. No attempt has been made
to estimate the continuing loss in future years.
Using the estimated legal staff costs, the watershed management program is
estimated in FY 82-83 to cost:
1. Administration of Runoff Control Ordinance $25,440
2. Administration of Watershed Management
Official's Office
Legal Staff Services
Sub-total of FY 82-83 County Budget Costs
Maintenance of Runoff Control Facilities
(Not currently budgeted)
Total Potential Costs
24,046
27,750
$77,236
15,000
$92,236
Translating these costs to the wholesale urban water rate of the Rivanna
Authority, the rate would increase, as follows:
FY 82-83 rate = $0.383 per thousand gallons
Increase to fund budgeted costs = $0.023/thousand gallons
Total rate with budgeted costs = $0.406 or + 6.06%
FY 82-83 rate = $0.383 per thousand gallons
Increase to fund potential costs (includes maintenance of runoff
facilities) = $0.028/thousand gallons
Total rate with potential costs = $0.411 or + 7.24%
The County Staff has prepared these estimates without the benefit of a
system to record or log all of the time spent by staff members on specific
tasks related to watershed protection measures. The staff's knowledge of
several years of activities is the exten~ of the information that is
available to prepare the estimates. It is recommended that an internal
system of accounting for such costs be established if an agreement on the
method of funding is reached."
(Mr. Lindstrom arrived at 3:15 P.M.) Mr. Lindstrom asked if the costs of the watershed
management official's office are not now being borne one-half by the City and one-half by the
County. Mr. Agnor said that is correct; City Council has proposed that these costs be funded
through the Wholesale water rate. Mr. Fisher said he had read in the newspaper that City
Council took action Monday night, but he has not received any communication stating their
action.
Mr. Lindstrom said he would like to "take back" some of the things he said last week.
He will now state that he is willing to support the proposed 5C's compromise for funding of
the Buck Mountain project with the understanding that when the Rivanna Authority determines
the facility is actually needed, that decision will trigger funding of the actual structure,
and this stipulation should be set out in the supplemental agreement. Mr. Lindstrom said he
did not believe such a supplemental agreement could be considered an amendment of the Four-
Party Agreement or a deviation from the Agreement. Mr. Lindstrom said the existing Four-Party
Agreement mentions projects such as this, but it also says that the City and the Albemarle
Service Authority have to jointly request such projects. Mr. Lindstrom said he feels strongly

November 3, 1982 (Adjourned from October 29, 1982)
Mrs. Cooke said she was becoming confused about some of the remarks being made and asked
for a history of the entire question. Mr. Agnor said that before the Rivanna Water and Sewer
Authority was formed, the City and County had paid for a feasibility study on regional water
and sewage disposal needs; this was called the Malcolm Pirnie Report. That report indicated
that if a regional water system were formed, the existing water supply would be inadequate in
the future, and of course, the sewage disposal system was completely deficient. Following
formation of the Rivanna Authority, the first focus of attention was the pollution abatement
program. Then the need for another water supply source to serve the urban area was addressed;
Crozet and Scottsville were not a part of that forecast. Six years ago, the Rivanna Authority
employed Camp, Dresser and McKee to look for optional sites for water. That report was
received and CD&M reemployed to do a more definitive study of the sites selected. This all
began many years ago with the Malcolm Pirnie report that indicated that there would be a
water shortage in the future. Mr. Agnor said he would agree with Mr. Lindstrom that there
has not been any formal action to instigate these studies; they were a part of the creation
of the whole regional system. Mr. Agnor said he does not understand why financing of the
project should come up at this time when all the preparatory work has been financed through
the Four-Party Agreement. Mr. Fisher said the County government might decide to stop taking
extraordinary measures to protect the water supply at any time. This is a regional system
and there is an agreement for operation of same. Mr. Fisher said he feels the Four-Party
Agreement in effect at this time should be carried out. Mr. Lindstrom said he believes that
the Revenue Sharing Agreement with the City has made a significant difference in the thinking
of City Council members. Putting off this project for twenty years will make the land very
expensive, and for the estimated cost of the land at this time, he is not williing to say
he is not willing to acquire the land because of the cost.
Mr. Butler said he is very concerned about the water supply. Three or four years ago
Sugar Hollow Reservoir was almost dry. If there had been six more months of severe drought
at that time, the community would have basically been without water. He feels this is a
serious concern and the Board needs to secure the Buck Mountain water source for the community
Mr. Fisher agreed but said he did not believe that a few more months will make much of a
difference.
Miss Nash said the Chairman is probably right in that the County has been cheated by
not receiving reimbursement for these watershed protection costs, but she does not feel it
is right to jeopardize the welfare of the County at large just to save the County's face on
these costS. Mr. Lindstrom said he could sense that no motion would get a majority vote
this ~fternoon. He felt the Board should talk to City Council again about what they plan to
do.
Mr. Fisher suggested that word be conveyed to City Council that probably a majority of
the Board is willing to go along with the 5C's proposal for financing of the Buck Mountain
project provided a supplemental agreement is signed which includes a resolution of the whole
watershed management program, its costs and responsibilities. He suggested that a committee
composed of the City Manager, County Executive, Executive Director of the Albemarle County
Service Authority, Executive Director of the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, and a repre-
sentative from the City Water Department, meet between now and the end of the year to try
and arrive at some solution, and in the meantime the Board should just drop the moratorium.
Mr. Fisher said he will not vote to extend the moratorium again. Mr. Lindstrom said he is
not willing to wait two more months but he would be willing to defer action for two weeks
until the Committee could make some report. Mr. Fisher said this could not be done without
City Council's concurrence.
Mr. Lindstrom then offered motion that the Board request establishment of a committee
made up of the City Manager, County Executive, Executive Director of the Rivanna Water and
Sewer Authority, Executive Director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, director of
the City Department of Public Works, and that the Committee meet within the next week and
attempt to determine whether any sharing of the costs of the watershed management program as
outlined in Mr. Agnor's letter dated November 3 can be arrived at, and then report back to
City Council and the Board of Supervisors by November 10, either their suggestions for a
solution or their inability to arrive at a solution. Mr. Agnor said he would be away Monday
and Tuesday of next week, but would start to work immediately if the motion passes.
Mr. Lindstrom suggested that if this motion passes, it be communicated to the City
Manager and Mayor this afternoon. Miss Nash asked if that were a part of the motion.
Mr. Lindstrom said yes. Miss Nash said that under those conditions, she would second the
motion. Roll was called at this time, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:

Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash.

Agenda Item No. 4. Executive Session. Mr. Fisher said he had received requests for an
executive session during dinner to discuss a personnel matter and litigation concerning the
Central Virginia Electric Cooperative. He suggested that the Board take the vote now and not
go into executive session until 5:30 P.M. Motion to this effect was offered by Mr. Lindstrom,
seconded by Mrs. Cooke, and carried by the following recorded vote:

November 3, 1982 (Regular Night Meeting)
A regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, was held
on November 3, 1982, at 7:30 P.M., in Meeting Room #7 of the Albemarle County Office
Building, Charlottesville, Virginia.
BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. James R. Butler, Mrs. Patricia H. Cooke, Messrs. Gerald E.
Fisher, J. T. Henley, Jr., C. Timothy Lindstrom and Miss Ellen V. Nash.
OFFICERS PRESENT: Messrs. Guy B. Agnor, Jr., County Executive; George R. St. John, County
Attorney; and Robert W. Tucker, Jr., Director of Planning.
Agenda Item No. 1. Call To Order.
the Chairman, Mr. Fisher.
The meeting was called to order at 7:35 P.M., by
Agenda Item No. 2. ZMA-82-10, P.H. Faulconer Estate, with Proffer. (Deferred from
September 15, 1982.) Mr. Robert W. Tucker, Jr., Director of Planning, read the following
letter dated October 27, 1982, from Mr. Timothy M. Michel, Agent for the applicant:
"As agent for the owners, I am officially withdrawing the application for
rezoning with proffer, designated ZMA-82-t0 and pertaining to Parcel 24,
Tax Map 60 (known as the P.H. Faulconer Estate).
The owners' original intent to request rezoning from R-1 to ¢0 no longer
appears to be viable. New discussions may result in a substantially
different rezoning application.
The owners and myself wish to thank the entire planning staff for its
assistance on this matter."
Motion was immediately offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Mrs. Cooke, to accept
this request for withdrawal without prejudice. Roll was called and the motion carried by
the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash.
None.
Agenda Item No. 3. ZTA-82-12. To amend or to add the following sections of the
Zoning Ordinance as they relate to building separation and side yard requirements in order
to provide a minimum building separation of thirty feet: 5.3.3, 15.3, 16.3, 17.3, 15.5,
16.7, 17.7, 18.3, 18.7, 19.8, 20.8.5, 21.0, 21.9 and 26.13. (Advertised in the Daily
Progress on October 20 and October 27, 1982.)
Agenda Item No. 4. ZTA-82-13. To amend Sections 4.11.2.1 and 4.11.3 of the Zoning
Ordinance as they relate to location of accessory structures to 1Ct lines. (Advertised in
the Daily Progress on October 20 and October 27, 1982.)
Mr. Tucker said he would dispense with reading the staff report dated October 12,
1982, since it pertained mainly to discussion which occurred at the Planning Commission
meeting of September 7, 1982. Mr. Tucker noted that the Planning Commission at its
meeting of OctOber 12, 1982, unanimously recommended the adoption of the proposed amend-
ments. (NOTE: The staff report of October 12, 1982, setting out the reasons for the
requested amendments as well as the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance read as
follows)

requirements.
Amendments regarding building separation and side yard
Staff has requested two deferrals of these items in an attempt to incorporate
comments and concerns of local builders into the proposed amendments. The major
change resulting from these discussions has been a~rewrite of the proposed
4.11.3 to provide three alternative methods to reduc~ building separation and
side yard requirements.
Under the first two alternatives (4.11.3(a) and 4.11.3.1(b)), reduction would
be mandatory upon satisfaction of the criteria. A third alternative is provided
primarily for the case where a request for reduction precedes construction. For
example, a reduction in side yard requirements may be granted for a subdivision
if the developer discloses in the deeds or on the plat that certain construction
or locational regulations will subsequently be required. This would place lot
purchasers on notice and avoid subsequent problems of record keeping (The Fire
Official could maintain a map and log for reference purposes when approving
building permits~).
Other changes include an expansion of exemptions (4.11.3.3) and rewording,
deletion of other provisions. The Fire Qfficial was agreeable to all changes.
The local builders also expressed concern that the staff report did not fully
explain the origin of the proposal and usage of the BOCA Uniform Statewide
Building Code ~and Insurance Services Office (ISO) provisions in the proposal.
Basically, the proposed amendments employ BOCA and IS0 provisions in a combin-
ation which, in the opinion of the Fire Official, would reasonably reduce the
risks of the spread of fire. The proposed provisions are more stringent than
BOCA code requirements. The opinion of the Fire Official is that the BOCA code
is primarily an "urban" ordinance which is not well-suited to the particular
situation in Albemarle County (i.e., volunteer as opposed to professional fire
company; areas of inadequate fire flow; areas of long response times), and that
more stringent requirements are warranted. While the Fire Official will be
present at public hearings to discuss this matter in greater detail, staff
offers the following background:
November 3, 1982 (Regular Night Meeting)
Be
Table 502 comes from a section of the BOCA code containing provisions for
"fire districts". While 501.2 of BOCA speaks to "areas containing con-
gested business, commercial, manufacturing and industrial uses", the zoning
provisions would apply to medium and high density residential uses as well.
Insurance Services Office (ISO) standards are intended to be employed to
establish fire insurance rates and are not ordinance or code requirements.
ISO standards would be employed in the zoning proposals as one alternative
method to reduce separation/yard requirements. ISO fire insurance ratings
are based on three criteria:
Proximity to a fire station.
Available fire flow.
Type of construction, use, and fire exposure.
Recommended insurance rates are lowest where these criteria are met, presumably
because risks of spread-of-fire are lower.
The builders also took issue with an example of insurance savings in the pre-
vious staff report: "The proposed amendments seek to address the third cri-
teria. Assuming the first two criteria are satisfied, the ISO recommended
insurance premium for a $70,000 dwelling not meeting the separation/construction
criteria of the proposed amendments would be $311/year, while the annual premium
could be reduced to $214/year if the criteria were met. This would be an annual
savings of $97 for the homeowner." First, the ISO rating process is more com-
plex and considers more factors than the example indicates. Second, ISO does
not consider individual developments but uses a fire station service area as the
base unit for recommended rates. ISO ratings are based on a plus-minus points
system. Development consistent with ISO standards (i.e., proposed amendments)
would receive plus points, while development inconsistent with ISO standards
(i.e., existing regulations) would receive minus points. Therefore, for a
partially developed area, rates would tend to increase or decrease dependent on
the regulations governing new development. That is to say, future development
could affect the rates paid by the current homeowner. The affect on rates could
be less or more dramatic than cited in the example.
Summary: The Code of Virginia is clear with regard to a locality's authority
End responsibility to address matters of fire protection through zoning re-
gulations. Excerpts from Section 15.1-489, Purpose of Zoning, state that:
(Zoning) "ordinances shall be designed to provide safety from fire, to facili-
tate the provision of adequate fire protection, to protect against undue density
of population in relation to community facilities existing or available, and to
protect against loss of life, health or property from fire .... "
Satisfaction of these requirements is a matter of local legislative judgment and
discretion. Litigation in Virginia has established that local governing bodies,
because of their knowledge of local conditions and the needs of their individual
communities, are allowed wide discretion in the enactment and amendment of
zoning ordinances. The Fire Official has stated his opinion that, based on his
knowledge of local conditions, existing side yard and building separation
requirements do not provide reasonable protection from the risks of the spread
of fire in all cases.
Staff has attempted to develop performance ordinance requirements to address
those cases where reasonable protection is lacking. These amendments would have
no effect in those areas where protection is adequate. (In practice, the Fire
Official anticipates that the reduced yard/separation provisions of 4.11.3 will
be the rule rather than the exception). Likewise, the amendments offer oppor-
tunities for the developer to obtain reductions. Staff opinion is that this is
a more reasonable approach than rigid yard/separation requirements or simply
denying development based on inadequate fire protection.
Additional Staff Comment: As stated earler in this report, IS0 fire insurance
ratings are based on three criteria: proximity to a fire station, available
fire flow, and type of construction, use and fire exposure. Zn addition to the
proposed zoning text amendments, Staff would recommend that these criteria be
addressed through a comprehensive fire protection plan which would employ ISO,
BOCA and other criteria with the goals of:
reducing the loss of life, health and property to fire
reducing fire insurance costs by improving ISO ratings
providing more uniform and improved fire protection throughout Albemarle
County with particular emphasis on the higher risk growth areas.
In addition to the fire protection "hardware" of the ISO criteria, the plan
should address such topics as: consolidation of urban services for fire pro-
tection, reciprocal agreements, and the like among the County, City and Uni-
versity; methods of funding fire protection improvements; and the relationship
of the fire protection plan to the County's Comprehensive Plan and watershed
management efforts (i.e., multipurpose impoundments for water quality and fire
protection).
Staff has presented a brief outline for a possible comprehensive fire protection
plan. Staff opinion is that this is an appropriate time for such an undertaking,
due to the City/County consolidation discussions, the Albemarle County Service
Authority's comprehensive water and sewer study which is underway and the
preliminary Fire Official/Planning Staff study for the location of a fire station
on Route 250 West in or near the Urban Area. (This would be a cooperative
November 3~t982 (Re_~lar Night Meetin~
effort with the City.) Should the Commission and Board look favorably on such a
concept, Staff could prepare a more definitive proposal after consultation with
the Fire Official, Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, Albemarle County Service
Authority, Watershed Management Official and other appropriate agencies.

Section 32.7.6 of the Zoning Ordinance and to amend Section 32.2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance
as it relates to review of public areas, facilities and uses for compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan, as required by 15.1-456 of the Code of Virginia. (Advertised in the
Daily Progress on October 20 and October 27, 1982.)
Agenda Item No. 7. STA-82-3. To add a definition of "person aggrieved" to Section
18.4 of the Subdivision Ordinance and to add Section 18-17.1 to the Subdivision Ordinance
to provide for review of public areas, facilities and uses for compliance with the Com-
prehensive Plan, as required by Section 15.1-456 of the Code of Virginia. (Advertised in
the Daily Progress on October 20 and October 27, 1982.)
Mr. Tucker read the Planning Staff report and the recommendation of the Planning
Commission as follows:
"Amendments related to "person aggrieved" and review for compliance with
Comprehensive Plan in the site plan and subdivision procedures.
The County Attorney's office has recommended amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance to clarify certain matters. On August
11, 1982, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution of intent to amend
these ordinances and referred the matter to the Planning Commission.
1)
Amend section 32.7.6 of the Zoning Ordinance and section 18-4 of the
Subdivision Ordinance regarding "person aggrieved". These current
provisions deal with procedures for a "person aggrieved" to appeal a
site plan or Subdivision plat to the Board of Supervisors for review.
The proposed amendments would provide a definition of "person aggrieved"
in the Subdivision Ordinance and a more specific definition in the
Zoning Ordinance than currently exists.
32.7.6
(The last sentence should be changed to read); For purposes
of this section, the term "person aggrieved" shall be limited
to the applicant, persons required to be notified pursuant
to section 32.3.2~ t~e .commission or it's chairman~ the director
of planning, the zonmng.administrator~ the county executive
and the board of supervisors or any member thereof, a~-a~
~e~e~e~-~e~e~me~a~-a~e~e~-e~-e~¢&ee~-~e~ee~
Section 18-4 Appeals
(a)
Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Commission in its
advisory capacity, or of the agent, or of any administrative
official whose decision is required pursuant to this chapter, may
appeal said decision to the board of supervisors as a whole by
written notice filed with the agent within ten (10) days of the
decision complained of. For purposes of this section~ the term
"person aggrieved" shall be limited to the applicant~ owners of
property.abutting the parcel which is proposed to be subdivided~
the commission or it's chairman~ the director of planning~ the
zoning administrator~ the county executive and the board of
supervisors or any member thereof.

ordinance. Appeal may be taken from the decision of the board
of supervisors as provided in section 15.1-475 of the Code.
November 3, 1982 (Regular Night Meetin~)
2)
Amend section 32.2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance and add 18-17.1 to the
Subdivision Ordinance by the addition of language related to review
for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. This language would
formalize review procedures for proposed developments which occasion
new or expanded public utilities/facilities. The language would
require a finding by the Commission of consistency with the Compre-
hensive Plan and would require the Commission to forward its findings
to the Clerk of the Board. This review would be an element of the
normal site plan/subdivision review process. Notification to the
Clerk of the Board would be by copy of the Commission's action letter.
Add a second paragraph to section 32.2.3 to read as follows:
32.2.3
Any public area, facility or use as set forth in paragraph
(a) of section 15.1-456 of the Code which is within~ but not
the entire subject of~ an application under this section~
shall be reviewed by the commission as to whether or not
the same is substantially in accord with the comprehensive
plan as well as for compliance with the design standards
hereof. Approval of such application shall be deemed
approval of such area~ facility or use pursuant to section
15.1-456 (a)~ (b)~ and (d) of the Code~ subject to review
by the board of supervisors pursuant to sections 32.7.6
and 32.7.7 hereof~ which review shall~ as to such area~
facility or use~ be deemed to constitute review pursuant
to section 15.1-456 (b) of the Code. Upon approval or
disapproval of any plan showing such facility~ the com-
mission shall promptly communicate its findings to the
governing body by forwarding the same in writing to the
clerk of the board of supervisors.
Section 18-17.1
Any public area~ facility or use as set forth in paragraph
(a) of section 15.1-456 of the Code which is within~ but
not the entire subject of~ an application under this chapter,
shall be reviewed by the commission as to whether or not
the same is substantially in accord with the comprehensive
plan as well as for compliance with the design standards
hereof. Approval of such applications shall be deemed
approval of such area~ facility or use pursuant to section
15.1-456 (a)~ (b)~ and (d) of the Code~ subject to review
by the board of supervisors pursuant to section 18-4 (b)
hereof~ which review shall~ as to such area~ facility or
use~ be deemed to constitute review pursuant to section
15.1-456 (b) of the Code. Upon approval or disapproval
of any plat showing such facility~ the c6mmission shall
promptly communicate its findings to the governing body
by forwarding the same in writing to the clerk of the
board of supervisors.
Mr. Tucker said ~he Planning Commission at its meeting of October 12, 1982, unanimously
recommended adoption of the proposed amendments with the following changes:
The last sentence of Section 32.7.6 should read as follows:
32.7.6
For purposes of this section, the term "person aggrieved" shall
be limited to the applicant, persons required to be notified
pursuant to Section 32.3.2, the planning commission~ or any member
thereof~ the director of planning~ ....

(a)
... For purposes of this section~ the term "person aggrieved"
shall be limited to the applicant~ owners of property abutting
the parcel which is proposed to be subdivided~ the planning
commission~ or any member thereof~ the director of planning, ....
Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing opened. There being no one present wishing to
speak either for or against these proposed amendments, Mr. Fisher declared the public
hearing closed.

by the Planning Commission, effective January 1, 1983. The motion was seconded by Miss
Nash and carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:

November 1 82 Re 1 r i t ~ ' _
Agenda Item No. 8. Public Hearing on the following budget amendments and
appropriations from the Capital Improvements Fund: $58,000 for Albemarle High School
Phase IV Renovations; $75,000 for Airport Phase I Terminal Building; $6,000 for Mint
Springs Swimming Area Improvements; $2,500 for Mint Springs Maintenance Facility Improve-
ments; $5,000 for Crozet School Recreational Improvements; and $12,000 for Health Depart-
ment Parking Lot. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on October 26, 1982.)
Mr. Fisher asked if the $58,000 for Albemarle High School Phase IV Renovations
included planning money for an air conditioning system. Mr. Agnor said it did contain
funds for the purpose of air conditioning, but also funds to bring the present mechanical
system up to BOCA Code standards and also some repair work. Mr. Fisher said he has received
a great deal of public response concerning the cost of an air conditioning system, following
an article printed in the Daily Progress. Mr. Agnor said the actual figures quoted in
that article were incorrect; the paper stated that air conditioning costs would run about
one million dollars, and actually the entire final phase of the school renovations is
estimated to cost $940,000 of which only part is for air conditioning.
Mr. Fisher said since a discussion has been set for November 10, 1982, to receive
public comments regarding the Broadus Wood School project, it would also be an appropriate-
time to receive comments on the Albemarle High School project. Mr. Fisher then declared
the public hearing opened. First to speak was Mrs. Babs Huckle who felt money for air
conditioning projects would be better used if spent on roofs and walls which are badly in
need of repairs at other schools.
No one else from the public wished to speak either for or against the advertised
budget amendments and Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Fisher then
requested these appropriations be deferred until November 10, 1982, for additional public
hearing and then action by the Board of Supervisors.
Agenda Item No. 9. Work Session, Charlottesville Area Transportation Study. Mr.
Tucker noted that the Planning Commission, at its meeting of September 28, 1982, unanimously
recommended approval of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan with regard to making the
Charlottesville Area Transportation Study a part thereof.
Mr. Fisher asked the reason for holding work sessions and public hearings on the CATS
study. Mr. Tucker said the main purpose is to amend the County's Comprehensive Plan to
provide a long-range transportation plan for the major collectors and arterial routes in
Albemarle County through the year 2000. Mr. Tucker added that this plan, once approved,
will be used by the City of Charlottesville, the County of Albemarle, the Metropolitan
Planning Organization and the Virginia Department of Highways'and Transportation for
planning and funding road improvements. Mr. Tucker stated that hopefully a public hearing
on this Plan can take place on November 17, 1982. Mr. Tucker then presented the three
major changes in the Plan since it was last reviewed by the Board of Supervisors. Those
three major changes, recommended by the Planning Commission, are as follows:
Delete the Route 20 connector between Rio Road and Route 20 (through a
portion of Key West Subdivision). Deletion is recommended because of
alignment problems and, following computer analysis, it was found to
not be necessary.
Shift the Western Bypass from Phase Two into Phase Four. The reason
for this is to give the staff time to analyze the need for this route,
as well as its impact on the South Fork Rivanna watershed.
Shift the extension and improvement of McIntire Road from Phase One to
Phase Two.
Mr. Fisher expressed concern about the deletion of the connector road between Route
20 and Rio Road. Mr. Fisher said the need for this road has been discussed for a very
long time, and he felt to delete this road from the CATS plan would encourage development
in an area which has long been restricted. Mr. Tucker said the road was deleted mainly to
discourage development in an area designated in the Comprehensive Plan for low growth.
Mr. Tucker then reviewed the lists of committed projects, phases one through four,
and the approximate timetables for these projects. Mr. Tucker noted that other areas of
transportation covered by the study are transportation system management, aviation,
railroads, engineering, bike paths and enforcement/education.
Mr. Lindstrom expressed concern about the inclusion of the Western Bypass in this
study. Mr. Lindstrom said he would never vote to support such a highway. Miss Nash said
she was also concerned about the WeStern Bypass'. Miss Nash asked why this study is to be
made part of the County's Comprehensive Plan and only a resolution on the part of the City
of Charlottesville. Mr. Tucker said the City need not make it part of their Comprehensive
Plan because there are no major projects proposed for development within the limits of the
City of Charlottesville.
Mr. Ken Lantz, of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, next gave a
slide presentation for the Board's information, concerning the CATS study.
Miss Nash asked if any study has been made relative to improving other methods of
transportation rather than just roads. Mr. Lantz said the Department of Highways and
Transportation is also in charge of reviewing a Statewide rail plan for the movement of
both people and goods. Mr. Lantz said that for the CATS analysis, no comparison figures
were used for rail versus automobile transportation. Miss Nash then asked if figures have
been comPiled for traffic which is "simply traveling through the Charlottesville/Albemarle
area". Mr. Lantz said figures for through traffic have not been separated out in this
study, but were taken into consideration when presenting traffic count figures on major
through roads such as Route 29 or Route 250.
November 3, 1982 (Regular Night Meeting)
Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Lantz his opinion of eliminating the connector road between Rio
Road and Route 20 North. Mr. Lantz said the estimated traffic count for such a connector
road is 8,400 vehicle trips per day. Mr. Lantz said this is a border-line figure for
whether or not to construct a new road. Mr. Lantz added that with the proposed improve-
ments to McIntire Road (the Meadow Creek Parkway) and the "Free Bridge" on Route 250, it
is felt that the connector road will not be necessary. Mr. Fisher said to eliminate this
road completely from the plan will leave the land open to development so that future
rights-of-way would be lost. Mr. Fisher said he would not support going to public hearing
with this road deleted from the plan.
Mr. Lindstrom said he was extremely· concerned about the fact that the CATS study, as
presented, has roads planned which are inconsistent with Albemarle County's Comprehensive
Plan~ Mr. Lindstrom said he is vehemently opposed to a Western Route 29 Bypass, because
it is completely inconsistent with planning for watershed protection, land at the north
