HomeMy WebLinkAboutZTA201300003 Minutes 04/23/13Commission did look at his 20 page document, which he did not think the work session was open to the
public. He thanked the Commission for considering the document. (Attachment Al & A2 The 20 page
document is on file with written minutes in office of the clerk and A2 two -page comments) In addition, Mr.
Battig noted the attention paid to the Monticello's Viewshed in the local press prompts him again to ask
what the definition was of its viewshed. How large an object subtending what maximum angle of view
was to be deemed objectionable. It must be no larger than a credit card pencil or a toothpick at arm's
length when viewed from the grounds. Why are there no similar concerns for Mr. Jefferson's other
beloved creation such as the UVA Academicals Village. What about the Rotunda viewshed, which
includes coffee shops; banks, and UVA souvenir shops and more. What is the point of viewshed concern
at all in expanding it four -fold if the assurances are correct that it is voluntary and the. private property
rights will not be violated by the wishes of this commercial enterprise. Why four -fold and not three- or six-
fold. What about other property owners and their own viewshed desires. Is enforcement and new
restrictive zoning codes the implied threat? He noted there were no answers.
There being no further comments, the meeting moved to the next agenda item.
Consent Agenda
a. Resolution of Intent: Dam Breakage (Mandy Burbage)
b. Approval of Minutes: 08 -28 -2012
Mr. Morris asked if any Commissioner wanted to pull an item from the consent agenda.
Motion: Mr. Dotson moved and Mr. Loach seconded for acceptance of the consent agenda.
Mr. Lafferty said he did not want to pull an item but just ask a question. He asked how many other dams
Albemarle County owns out of the 109.
Ms. Burbage replied that staff will have to look it up on the computer. The Environmental Services
Department is responsible for the mapping of those dams. Staff has received four dam inundations or
m1aps from other dam owners so far, which is the only ones staff was responsible for reviewing
development within their inundation area.
Mr. Lafferty asked if there was any timeline on the rest of those getting it in or is there any penalty.
Ms. Burbage replied no and no. The DCR recently made some funding available to assist the dam
owners in getting the mapping done. However, there is no timeframe in which they have to send that test.
There being no further questions, Mr. Morris called for a roll call on the motion.
The motion carried by a vote of 7:0.
