RE: SP# 2007-00018 Blue Ridge Equine Clinic Amendment (Sign # 12)
Tax Map 30, Parcel 110
Dear Dr. Cowles and Dr. Stevens:
On September 5, 2007, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP #2007-
00018 to allow an amendment of a special use permit for equine veterinary clinic to allow
addition of examination area, four horse stalls on southeast side of existing barn, and three
horse stalls on west side of existing barn on Tax Map 30, Parcel 110 in the White Hall District.
This special use permit was approved based on the following conditions:
The clinic shall be for equine care only and shall be operated in accordance with the
letter dated July 23, 1997 (attached to the staff report as Attachment D -on file).
However, the clinic's improvements and the scale and location of the improvements shall
be developed in general accord with the conceptual plan entitled "Conceptual Plan for
SP 2007-00018;" dated June 26, 2007, and initialed "SMC."
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action
on the project noted above, no uses on the property as approved above may lawfully
begin until all applicable approvals have been received and conditions have been met.
This includes:
• compliance with conditions of the SPECIAL USE PERMIT;
• approval of and compliance with a SITE PLAN;
• approval of a ZONING COMPLIANCE CLEARANCE.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued is not
commenced within twenty-four (24) months from the date of Board approval, it shall be deemed
abandoned and the permit terminated. The term "commenced" means "construction of any
structure necessary to the use of the permit."
i
If you have questions or comments regarding the above -noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact Sherri Proctor at 296-5832.
Sincerely, — l

To: Hickory Ridge Homeowners
Attachment D
Paul Stephens and Reynolds Cowles - equine veterinarians propose to move our
equine veterinary clinic to the Hickory Ridge Carriage Facility and barn - Lot #68 in the PUD.
This lot was originally used as an equine facility and is zoned for business. Our use
would be congruous with the initial plan.
Blue Ridge Equine Clinic is composed of four veterinarians- Drs. Stephens, Cowles,
Dagner and Casinella. 80% of our practice is ambulatory on the farms of Albemarle, Orange,
and Nelson counties. We enjoy an active equine referral practice to our surgical and
hospitalization service now based on Catterton Road. This would be housed in the barn and
carriage (clinic) building at Hickory Ridge, Our referrals are for the diagnosis of complex
lameness and surgical problems, along with medical cases. Surgery and lameness is the bulk
of our case load and we operate a wide variety of orthopedic and gastrointestinal conditions.
Dr. Paul Stephens is a board certified surgeon and chief of that service.
Our plans for Hickory Ridge are as follows:
1.) The existing buildings would be utilized as is.
2.) The only interior changes will be made in the carriage building and this consists of
creation of a surgery suite in the back great room.
3.) Both the carriage building and the barn will be resided to beautify and protect the
buildings,
4.) Existing fences do not conform to lot boundaries. These fences would be
replaced.
5.) We will have only two small port -a -paddocks for hospital cases and will not utilize
the existing paddocks running out to 665.
6.) We would propose that the Bowers Trust allow us to reseed, fertilize and create an
esthetic turf on these areas.
7.) We will use existing plantings as is.
8.) The small while barn in the lower SW corner is split with the property line: We'
PPPIPP, propose to the homeowners that it be painted and repaired as we would use our half
as a tractor shed.
9.) We will create a small 40 x 80 level area in back of the building where existing
mulch piles now stand. This will be an exercise ring for evaluation of lameness cases, 10
area -will be tightly fenced- fihe surface will be well maintained and -watered:
As you are currently aware the existing buildings at Hickory Ridge are in disrepair. We
will beautify and maintain this area in a manner fitting for a referral equine hospital. We feel
our present facility speaks for itself and invite everyone to come and observe the present
clinic.
There are a number of common questions that we would anticipa-te and would offer
these comments for your consideration.
Q. What kind of traffic will use the facility?
A. We have four practice vehicles and four lay employees who would drive to the clinic
each day. We have an average of two horse trailers visiting daily Monday through
Friday. On the average we have a night visit once every two weeks for an emergency
surgery. These are usually concentrated in the spring during foaling season.
Q. How will animal waste be handled?
A. We will containerize all stall waste and it will be disposed of off the property.
Q. What about dead animals?
A. There are occasionally carcasses to dispose of whether due to euthanasia or an
animal that died. We have a disposal service that picks up such cases. A dead animal
will be enclosed completely in a holding area until picked up.
Q. What about chemical wastes?
A. We comply fully with all environmental and OSHA regulations. We are strong
environmentalists. Our disinfectant use is primarily chlorhexidene which is extremely
safe, Plain soap and water does most of the job. We use about 1 gallon of a cold
sterilization agent - glutaraldehyde - a month for surgical instrumenis and this goes in
the normal septic system in very small quantities.
Q. How about X-rays or nuclear wastes?
A. Our X-ray machines are used mainly on the farms and are portable. We will have
one machine in the clinic building and all radiation safety standards required by the
state are followed. There would be no scatter outside the area, We use a
radionucletide as licensed by the NRC for diagnosis of bone problems in the horse,
This is about 4 cases per month. These animals are isolated for 48 hours in our barn
until they return to normal background levels. The stall bedding is held for 4 days until
-
normalandthen dispensed of in a normal fashion. These- procedures- arestrictly- - -
flu, taut au aria au regulations are complied with. There is no danger to our workers or
ppppp� to anyone off site.
Q. What about exterior lighting?
A. We will use existing courtyard lights at night when a case is coming in and then the
lights will be turned off. In the barn, lights will be on if we have technicians there at
night. taking care of cases We wi11--n eed-asmall- ligfif_ed_sign at the entrance_ of. 665 to__._.__.___
..-...... — -- -guide-horse-trailers-at-1igh't This signinfill-be turned on when a case is expected and
turned off after arrival - perhaps on for 2 hours at a time. Our proposed sign would be
18" x 32" and tastefully simple. Please see our current sign at Catterton Road.
In summary, we are all excited with the prospect of utilizing the wonderful carriage
facility at Hickory Ridge to house Blue Ridge Equine Clinic. We strongly believe that you will
find us to be good neighbors and that our renovations and enhanced esthetics will add beauty
and value to our community.
If you have questions do not hesitate to call Brian or Sam or Drs Cowles and Stephens
directly. We would love the opportunity to show you what we do and what our plans are and
to answer any questions or concerns that you might have. A free flow of communication
usually dispels problems and we welcome such.
Sincerely Yours,
R.?n ds Cowles, Jr.) N.
