There are a couple remaining paperwork items where I will need your help to finish up your clearance. 1. We need to complete a letter for the County Engineer that outlines the major equipment and any potentially dangerous solvents or other chemicals used in your processes. I've pasted an example below that we can modify. 2. The Building Official would like to join me when I comedown just to check for rudimentary safety items for public visitors. And that's it. Please let me know when a good time would be to come by. Thanks, J.T.

The parcel is zoned Industrial (L-1). It is my understanding that in order to occupy this space we will need to submit this Letter of Performance Standards along with our zoning clearance application. We have addressed the standards referenced in Section 4.14 and provided the following responses Noise Our operation will not create sound or impact noise levels in excess of the values specified in Section 4.14.1. We are surrounded by an embankment on three sides and a block wall on the fourth. Our major sources of noise are: 1) outside Shp Air Compressor that runs five minutes during an hour throughout the day. It is enclosed in a dog house to protect it from weather and to cut down noise; 2) dust collection system, located outside with a Shp electric motor develops a low noise level; and 3) Inside shop equipment includes a 10" table saw, 3 hp shaper, 20: surface planner, 24" surface sander, 8 by 56" joiner/planner, drill press, radial arm saw, and assorted hand held power tools, all of which do not have an unacceptable noise level. Vibration Equipment operated by shop does not produce any detectable earthborn vibration. Glare Our operation is completely contained within the building. The interior lighting associated with this operation does not produce glare that is visible beyond the lot line. Air Pollution There will be no emission of smoke, odor or gaseous pollutants. By-product of the operation is saw dust. A dust collection system has been installed to remove airborne saw dust from each station to an outside collection per OSHA standards. System is self contained and does not represent a hazard to air quality. Water Pollution No industrial liquid wastes will be generated by this operation. All finishing will be handled off-site by a local finishing company, because of this there will be no paints, lacquers or solvents store on site. A permit has been issued by the Health Department on our sewage disposal. Our operation does not represent a hazard to water quality. Radioactivity My operation does not require handling of radioactive materials. Therefore there will be no radioactive emissions or danger to health and safety of person on or beyond the premises. Electrical Interference My operation does not require any equipment that would generate electrical disturbances that would adversely affect the operation of equipment on any other lot or premises. Please feel free to call me with any further questions you may have.

Currently the residential building is classified as Group R-3 (residential), and the storage building is classified as U (miscellaneous). The proposed use for both is classified as Group M (mercantile), The Construction Type of both is V -B. Based on our conversation at the site, and the presentation included with the home -occupation permit request, only the living room area and a back room on the first floor are being considered for sales/display use in the residential building. The entire workshop is considered for sales/display use. Due to the predicted small occupant loads, the small sizes of the areas considered and the proximity of all portions of these small areas to exit doors, use of the designated areas as salesldisplay areas is acceptable in accordance with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. The information herein is intended to reflect the concerns of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Please maintain contact with the Zoning Administrator's office to verify compliance with the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.

Stimart; Ann Mallek; tet Cargile; Johnathan Newberry Subject: Monticello Artisan Trail - Updated List 3.13.11 - Action Requested Importance: High Hi Everyone, Attached is the latest version of trail participants (note contact info on second sheet of the doc). We are expecting some applications to arrive this week as a result of the roundup and recent calls we've been making but no one gets added until we receive a form or a payment. Please remember that we are now under the radar. Please be sure to contact/follow-up anyone you've noticed is not on this list. You have until April 1 to close EVERYONE you are working on or they will NOT get in the brochure (JT you will then have until about April 15-ish to complete the zoning reviews). Carefully look at this list and note that EVERY yellow box is something that has not been completed/received .....and may be per one you are responsible for following up with (site review, zoning, forms, funds, etc). If a row is white, that individual/business application is NOT complete.... and there's probably a yellow box. Blue rows are the ones that are fully approved (Monticello still has a yellow box because we haven't received their form, but I am not worried about that one). Please follow-up and send me updates or notes on anything you see that needs correction. Thanks! Sherri Sherri Smith Executive Director Artisans Center of Virginia P.O.
