Agenda Item No. 2. Public Hearing: SP-88-76. Victor R. Ray. To locate a shooting
match on 3.86 acres zoned A-1. Property on south side of Route 738 north of Ivy Pulp Wood.
Since the applicant was not present, Mr. Fisher suggested to wait until 8:30 P.M. to
conduct the public hearing.
Agenda Item No. 3. Public Hearing: An ordinance to amend certain precinct lines in
the Scottsville and White Hall Magisterial Districts as permitted under Virginia Code
Section 24.1-37 and to also amend and reenact Sections 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5, 6-6 and 6-7 of
the Albemarle County Code. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on December 1 and 8, 1976.)
Mr. Robert Tucker, Director of Planning, said a request was ,received from the Division
of Legislative Services for all cities and counties to realign precinct and election district
lines not following an easily recognizable feature. These changes are being made for the
1980 census. Albemarle County has three precinct lines which do not follow boundaries~
between Scottsville and Porter's Precinct, Covesville and Porter's precinct line, Free
Union and Crozet lines. He then summarized the realignment as the staff had proposed.
The public hearing was opened. Ms. Ellen Nash was present on behalf of the Electoral
Board. She said the Board wanted the Covesville/Porter's precinct line to remain as existing
because it is more convenient for the voters to go to Covesville instead of to Scottsville.
With no one else present to speak for or against the ordinance, the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Fisher said this question is complex since the state law permitting lines to be
changed expired on June 30, 1976 but~legisl'ature will take action at their next session to
make any actions taken between July i, 1976 and December 31, 1976 legal retroactively. He
recommended a resolution on the matter since action is being taken on a law not existing.
Dr. Iachetta then offered motion to adopt the following ordinance and resolution as set out
below. Mr. Dottier seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote:

2.0 acres from A-1 Agricultural to B-1 Business. Property on north side of U.S. Route
250 West approximately 10 miles west of Charlottesville City limits. County Tax Map 5~,
Parcel 107A(1). (Advertised in the Daily Progress on December 1 and 8, 1976.)
Mr. Tucker said these two amendments could be considered in conjunction with one
another but with separate action. He then read the following staff report into the
record: "An Exxon service station is located on parcel 107A and Clover Lawn Basket Shop
is located on 107A(1). On the south side of Route 250 West are the Mountain View Apartments,
a restaurant, and an auto/truck service station. To the west of the ZMA-20-76 property
is a vacant field and the King Solomons Lodge. To the west of the ZMA-21-76 property is
an auto service station. Property to the east of ZMA-20-76 is the Clover Lawn Basket
Shop; property to the east of ZMA-21-76 is vacant and wooded. To the north are single-
family and rental units. The Comprehensive Plan~ indicates this property in the fringe
of the Crozet Community Cluster in an area proposed for m~dium-density residential developme~
The staff recommends denial of this petition for the following reasons: 1. The request
is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. U.S. Route 250 West has been
designated an Albemarle County Scenic Highway. There are uses provided in the B-1 zone
which would be incompatible with scenic highway designation. 3. The use existing on the
smbject property is provided for by special use permit under the existing A-1 Agricultural
zoning." Mr. Tucker noted receipt of a letter from Mr. Walter L. Radford requesting
£a~orable action on his petition. Mr. Tucker said the applicant's primary interest in the
rezoning is to make their properties conforming. The Planning Staff feels that since
these uses are permitted in A-1 zone with a special permit, this would be a better approach
than rezoning. The Planning Commission recommended denial of both applications.
Mrs. David said the ~lanning Gommission members voting against the petitions did so
hoping the applicants would apply for a special permit. Also, they feel the B-1 zoning
~,2;~,~he ~oad ~om the ~b~eot p~ope~tie~ wa~ in e~o~ ~d against the recommendation
of the planning staff. Mr. Henley did not feel the businesses which have been in business
for ~0 years should have to go through all this red tape.
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Gale Pickford, representing the Radfords and the
Strongs, was present. He said both businesses have been in operation for about thirty
years. In 1974, the applicants applied for a rezoning and were advised by the Planning
December 15, 1976 (Night Meeting
with the existing ordinance. The Scenic Highway Designation along 250 imposes certain
restrictions on this property and if the businesses were destroyed over 75%, the applicants
would have to obtain a variance in order to rebuild. The lots are about 400 feet deep and
the rear of the property is served by an easement about 20 to 25 feet in width. The applicant
would like to have the privilege of not obtaining a special permit in order to continue
their businesses.
Speaking next was Mr. Steve Helvin representing the adjoining landowners. Mr. Helvin
said if this is the highest and best use of the property, it should be zoned that way.
With no one else present to speak for or against the petitions, the publi~ hearing
was closed.
Mr. Fisher was concerned that this rezoning would set a precedent for all parcels in
the County which are nonconforming. He could not accept the argument that problems would
be created if the buildings were destroyed.
Mr. Henley was disturbed that someone whose business has been in oper.ation for
thirty years should have to beg for a special permit or a variance when such operations
have been decent and successful. He asked if a special permit were granted and the buildings
were destroyed, what would happen. Mr. Tucker said the special permit runs with the land
and the buildings could be rebuilt. Mr. Henley had received one suggestion to go with the
special permit but he felt that since there is B-1 zoning across the road and these businesse:
have been in operation for a period of time, they should be rezoned as requested. Mr.
Fisher was concerned that someone in the future would change the use of the properties.
Mr. Henley did not feel the Board should worry about the future owners. Mr. Fisher did
not see any justification for the requests and said he would not support the requests.
At this time, Mr. Henley offered motion to approve ZMA-20-76. Mr. Roudabush seconded
the motion. Mrs. David felt B-1 zoning expands the use of the property too much. With a
special permit, the operations could continue and this is just as accurate as a rezoning.
Mr. Henley disagreed because with a special permit the businesses could not be expanded
without approval of the Board and any requests for expansion could be denied under the
special permit procedures.
The public hearing was reopened. Ms. Martha Selden, representing the Citizens for
AlbemarIe, was present and requested denial of the two requests.
Speaking next was Ms. Helen Milius owner of property across the road. She asked that
the requests be denied because she feared someone in the future may change the use if
rezoned to B-1.
Mr. Pickford said the issue comes down to the question of how much control the governing
body wants to retain over the property. He felt the property is already under proper
controls with the Scenic Highway Designation.
With no one else present to speak for or against the petitions, the public hearing
was again closed.
Mr. Fisher asked who would issue the variance if the property was destroyed more than
75%. Mr. St. John said the applicant would either have to obtain a special permit or a
variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Dorrier supported the request and felt the
scenic highway designation provides adequate controls for the properties. Roll was then
called on the foregoing motion and carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:

-~genda Item ~. 6. ZM~-21-?6. Dean and Peggy Strong. Motion was offered by Mr.

Agenda Item No. 7. ZTA-76-10. Crutchfield Corporation. To amend the M-1 zone of
the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to provide by special permit for an accessory d~elling
for use as office and residence. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on December 1 and 8,
1976.)
Mr. Tucker read the foliowing staff report into the record: "In staff opinion, such
use should be subordinate to the use of the property for industrial purposes. Incorporating
such subordinate residential use in the M-1 zone would provide the following advantages:
1. Continuous supervision of the property could be insured. 2. Residing on the industrial
property would eliminate the cost of separate housing for the businessman, thus encouraging
smaller industries. This proposal is similar to the recently approved amendment for such
use in the B-1 Business zone. The staff recommends the following amendments:
Add 8-1-27(15) a use by special permit in the M-1 zone to read:
Accessory Dwelling Accommodation.
Amend the definition section of the Zoning Ordinance Under
Section 16-28.1 to read as follows:
Dwelling Accommodation, Accessory: One or more rooms
designed to provide living and sleeping accommodations
in a structure used primarily for commercial or industrial
industrial purposes, or a separate dwelling unit located

purposes, the inhabitation of which shall be limited to
the proprietor and his family or a bona fide employee of
the proprietor and his family."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission recommended that the Zoning Ordinance be
amended to include Section 8-1-32, Accessory Dwelling Accommodation, which would be a use
permitted by right, rather than by special permit and to adopt the amended definition as
set out above.
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Crutchfield, the applicant, was present. Mr.
Roudabush asked if the purpose of the dwelling was primarily for security. Mr. Crutchfield
said the dwelling is for two purposes; one for an office during construction and one for
security.
. .. With no one else present to speak for or against the petition, the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Fisher noted the request of Mr. Crutchfield for SP-90-76 is a contingency item.
If this amendment is approved, that request will be withdrawn. Dr. Iachetta could see no
problem with people living in the M-1 zone. Mrs. David was in favor of the amendment
being included as a use. by right and offered motion to approve ZTA-76-10 as recommended by
the Planning Commission. Dr. Iachetta seconded the motion and same carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 8. Public Hearing: SP-90-76. Crutchfield Corporation. To locate
an accessory dwelling for use as office and residence, during construction of Crutchfield's
new office and warehouse complex, on 8.258 acres zoned M-1. Property located opposite
Cardinal Airline's entrance off State Route 606 adjacent to the Charlottesville-Albemarle
Airport. County Tax Map 32, Parcel'lTB. Charlottesville and Rivanna Magisterial Districts.
(Advertised in the Daily Progress on December 1 and 8, 1976.)
Due tO'._the, approvy~of~athe previous request, the applicant Mr. Crutchfield requested
withdrawal of this petition without prejudice. Motion to this effect was offered by
Iachetta, seconded by Mr. Roudabush and carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 2. (Carried forward from the beginning of the meeting.) Public
Hearing: SP-88-76. Victor R. Ray. To locate a shooting match on 3.86 acres zoned A-1.
Property on south side of Route 738 north of Ivy Pulp Wood. (Deferred from December 1,
1976).
The' applicant, Mr. Victor R. Ray, was not present. Mr. Fisher asked if the staff had
any communication from him of his not being able to attend tonight's meeting. No one had
heard from him. At this time, Mrs. David offered motion to proceed with the public hearing
in the applicant's absence. Mr. Roudabush seconded the motion and same carried by the
following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
Mr. Tucker then read the following staff report into the record: "This property is
developed with two dwellings. The Mount Calvary Baptist Church cemetery borders the
property on the west. Murray Elementary School is approximate!~ 800 feet to the west of
the site. There are several dwellings in the immediate vicinity of the property. The
applicant proposes to operate the shooting match on a year-round basis and is agreeable to
the limitation of one-day per week. The shoots are proposed from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The range is proposed to be located toward the rear of the property and shooting would be
in the direction of the school and playground. In staff opinion, no controls or conditions
could be placed on this use which would insure the safety of the school children or resident
of the area and therefore, staff recommends denial of this petition." Mr. Tucker noted
receipt of a letter from Mr. John Massie, Albemarle School System, in which the School
Board expressed serious reservations about the proposed activity. The Planning Commission
also unanimously recommended denial.
At this time, the public hearing was opened. Speaking first was Mr. M. W. Willis who
lives on Route 738. He was opposed to the request due to the school and cemetery beside
the proposed activity. He also felt there was too much traffic in the area for this type
of operation.
Next was Mr. Stillman Kelly who spoke in opposition.
With no one else present to speak for or against the request, the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Fisher said the staff could recommend no conditions or controls on the operation
to insure safety to the children or the residents of the area. Mr. Henley said he did not
intend to support the request but felt the applicant should have a second chance to appear.
Mrs. David felt the area was too populated for an activity of this type. Mr. Henley then
offered motion to defer SP-88-76 to January 5 and the applicant be renotified by certified
or registered mail that action will be taken that date. Dr. Iachetta also felt the applicant
should have a second chance. Mr. Roudabush seconded the foregoing motion and same carried
by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
DeCember 15~ 1976 (Night Meeting)
Agenda Item No. 9. Public Hearing: ZMA-22-76. Black Cat Road Associates. To
rezone 5.811 acres from A-l.agricultural to B-1 business. Property at the intersection of
1-64 East and State Route 616 northeast of Boyd's Tavern; a part of Mechunk Acres. County
Tax Map 94A, Parcels A2, B14, B15 and Parcel IA (part thereof) Rivanna Magisterial District.
(Advertised in the Daily Progress on December 1, and 8, 1976.)
Mr. Tucker read the following Staff report into the record: "Mechunk Acres bounded
by i-64 on the north and Route 616 on the west,, is undeveloped an~ wooded. The surrounding
area is rural in nature with sparse residential development. With the exception of the
interchange area, zoning in the area is A-1 Agricultural. About 18.5 acres of undeveloped
B-1 Business properties exist at the northeast and southwest quadrants of the interchange.
The Comprehensive Plan indicates conservation use for this site. The Keswick village
cluster is proposed to extend to the west side of Route 616 with agricultural use proposed
opposite this site. The staff recommends denial of this petition for the following reasons:
1. The request is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan which indicates conservation
for this area. 2. There exists 18.5 acres of undeveloped B-1 zoned properties in the
area. This acreage is equivalent to 2-5 neighborhood shopping centers." Mr. Tucker said
the Planning Commission recommended approval by a 7 to 1 vote.
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Steve Helvin, representing Black Cat Road Associates
was present. Directly in front of the subject property are two acres zoned A-1 and owned
by Exxon. Across the road is land owned by City Service. On the other side of the interstat~
is B-1 property owned by Texaco. His clients own about 100 acres in the area but are
requesting only 5.811 acres, the interchange property, to be rezoned. He felt the highest
and best use for interstate property around an interchange is business. He did not feel
the Comprehensive Plan is a valid reason to deny the request. The staff recommended
denial because of the amount of undeveloped B-1 acres in the area, but the Planning Commissio~
did not agree. Mr. Helvin said the intention of the Black Cat Road Associates is to build
a much needed restaurant at this location.
With no one else present to speak for or against the petition, the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Rouda~ush did not feel a service station would be built on this interchange for
many years. Since the applicant presently has a legitimate use in a business category,
and th~re~Ha~e been no objections from neighbors, he offered motion to approve ZMA-22-76
as recommended by the Planning Commission. Dr. Iachetta seconded the motion.
Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Tucker if there was any question in his mind about the Comprehensiw
Plan's recommendation for zoning of this area. Mr. Tucker said it is recommended for
conservation and because of the poor soil for percolation. Mr. Fisher said he would feel
insecure in approving the request since the Board should consistently follow recommendations
~et out in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Henley felt an interchange is a proper place for
B-1 zoning. The land must not be so bad if 18 acres around the interchange are already
zoned B-1. Dr. Iachetta said he can not subscribe to the theory that the only use of land
at an interchange is B-1 but since three quadrants are already zoned B-i, he did not feel
there was any valid reason to deny this request.
Roll was then called on the foregoing motion to approve ZMA-22-76 and same carried by
the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
Mr. Fisher.
At 9:00 P.M., the Board recessed and reconvened at 9:06 P.M.
Agend~ Item~ No. 10. Public Hearing: Performance Bond: Meriwether Hill, Meriwether
North, Lewis Hill Sections One'-and Two and Lewis Hill West, Stowe Court and Vinton Court.
(Advertised in the Daily Progress on Decemher-t2,~13, and 14, ~976).
Mr. Fisher gave a history on this request. (See Minute Book 1~, pages 495-501.)
The public hearing was opened. Mr. Grover Forloines was present and expressed his
desire for the approval of this bond. He felt if Mr. Cushman is willing to put up another
$11,000 in addition to the $100,000 he has already spent on the system, then this should
be an assurance to the County that Mr. Cushman intends to fulfill his obligation.
Mr. Fred Landess was present to represent Mr. Cushman.
already drilled a third well but it has not been tested.
He said Mr. Cushman has
Mrs. Suzanne Grove, Grove Construction Company, spoke next urging the granting of
the additional building permits. Since additional building permits can not be obtained,
her company has been forced to lay off over half of its crew.
An unidentified gentleman expressed his concern that if Mr. Cushman's water system
goes dry, the entire Ivy area would go dry.
Speaking also were Messrs. Fred Manson, L. W. W. Richardson, Krauss, Goode Love,
Richard Shannon, Earl Cutty, Don Timberlake and Ed Smith, who all spoke in opposition to
the granting of additional building permits. They gave problems such as water pressure,
muddy water, etc., which they have experienced.
At this time, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Fisher said the bond does not have any time requirement for repairs occasioned by
a pump, power failure, or any normal repairable disruption of service. He felt failure to
have such a clause would prohibit the County from executing the bond if such claims are
made. He said Mr. Cushman should have the well tested, approved and certified before any
additional building permits are issued.
December 15, 1976 (Night Meeting)
Mr. Roudabush said the forfeiture of the bond is not dependent on the well going dry
but rather on complaints from individual customers about deficiency of water. If this
happens, the SerVice Authority would take over the system and payment for connecting the
water lines would be made from the proceeds of the bond.
Mr. St. John felt the concerns expressed here tonight were on depletion of the water
table and the possibility that surrounding developments might go dry. In order to control
such a situation, the Board would have to stop Mr. Cushman from drilling new wells. Under
existing state law the Board cannot do this unless the area has been declared a critical
water area.
Mr. RoudabUsh responded to a comment made earlier that the Board had backed down on
its previous policy. He feels the recent change is more beneficial to the. consumer. The
pump tests are. designed to test the recovery rate of the well and how much water can be
drawn over a certain period of time.
Dr. Iachetta felt the new policy is much better because it guarantees a supply of
water at 1/2 gallon per minute per dwelling at a given pump down. He also disagreed with
several parts of the performance bond since the bond does not require the new combined
system to meet the new criteria of 1/2 gallon per minute per dwelling. He could not
support the granting of twenty-three additional building permits but would support eleven
until the well demonstrates its capability.
Mr. Fisher asked who the consumers will call if there are water flow problems. Mr.
Agnor said normally they would call Mr. Cushman but a proviso could be placed in the bond
that complaints are to be filed with the Albemarle County Service Authority which has
twenty-four hour service. Mr. St. John noted that if the wells are tested and the County's
requirments met, then the additionai~building permits would be allowed. Without the bond,
there could be all kinds of mechancial problems and the consumers would have no remedy.
With the bond, the Service Authority could take over the water system in these circumstances.
Mr. Fisher then read a letter from the Albemarle'County Service Authority into the
record expressing their support of the performance bond and requesting that bond be set at
$11,375.00 with security posted by either acceptable letter of credit orca savings assignment
(COPY OF LETTER ON FILE IN CLERK'S OFFICE.) He then noted receipt of two letters in
opposition from Mrs. J. W. Baker and Mr. Ralph W. Simonds. ~ '
Dr. Iachetta asked if the performance bond could be amended to reduce the number of
additional building permits to eleven since he did not feel Mr. Cushman would need twenty-
three more if it is found that the new well does not meet the County's requirements. Mr.
St. John said yes. Mr. Landess felt Mr. Cushman would agree. Mr. Bailey suggested ~
striking the language "exclusive of the seventynine connections which are currently approved
to be served by the existing two wells in the principal's system." ~
Mr. Roudabush then offered motion to approve the performance bond by striking bhe
language "exclusive of the seventy-nine connections .which are currently approved to be
served by the existing two wells in the principal's system~." Mr. Henley seconded the
motion and felt this would solve the existing problems and he supports the motion since
this well system does not serve a new subdivision. Dr. Iachetta said he would not support ~
the motion since approval of this bond would allow twenty-three more building permits to
be issued. Roll was called and the foregoing motion carried by the following recorded
vote:
AYES: Mrs David and Messrs. Dorrier, Henley and Roudabush.
NAYS: Messrs. Fisher and Iachetta.
The Performance Bond as approved is set out' below:
EN~2~ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that Cushman Realty and Building oo~p,o~i0~a

Eleven Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars for the payment
of which it does hereby bind itself, its successors and assigns.
The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas Cushman
Realty and Building Corporation has developed and sold or has offered for
sale 102 building lots situated in Albemarle County, Virginia in subdivisions
commonly known as Meriwether Hill, Meriwether North, Lewis Hill Sections One
and Two and Lewis Hill West, Stowe Court and ¥inton Court; that Cushman Realty
and Building Corporation is also the owner and operator of a private water system
~supplying or offering to supply water for domestic usage to the purchasers and
owners of such lots; that the County of Albemarle pursuant to its general
authority has promulgated certain policies and regulations in regard to the
operation of private water systems within the County, in accordance with which
it has limited the number-of connections which Cushman may allow to such
existing water system to 79 and will not allow building permits~to be issued~
for construction of'improvements on any of such lots in excess of 79; and
whereas, Cushman expects to obtain Health Department approval for additional
well sites and to drill wells providing additional water in order to expand
its water system to service all of the 102 lots contained in the above
subdivisions and has requested the County of Albemarle to allow building
permits to be issued on more than 79 of the above lots prior to completion
of such wells.
NOW THEREFORE, if the principal shall within one year from the date hereof
obtain additional sources of water supply of ~sufficient capacity to supply a ·
minimum of one-half gallon per minute per dwelling unit for the dwelling units
that can be built upon the lots within the several developments named in this
bond; such sources of water supply to be approved by the State Health
Department and its/their capacity certified by the County Engineer, as required
by the present rules and regulations of thes~ agencies, and the same are

December 15, 1976 (Night Meeting)
if at any time during the term hereof there should be a deficiency of supply
of water to any of the units connected to the principal's system, this bond
shall immediately become due and payable.
- - InLthe ~oltowing~l~2'-~''
__ manner: Upon complaint of any users as to the lack-of water, representa~iYes
of the Albemarle County Service Authority and Cushman shall as soon as practicable
meet on the site of the complaint to investigate the conditions. Measurements
of flow into the house or houses involved shall be made by opening faucets
within the house system and observing the maximum flow rate thus obtainable
at the meter. If this flow rate is less than 1.5 g.p.m., the supply of water
shall be declared deficient. Provided, that such deficiency is not caused
by any normal disruptive occurrence such as the breaking of a waterline,
the failure of a pump, power failure or any normal repairable disruption of
service, or cause other than an inadequate supply of water.
If this bond shall become due and payable by reason of a deficiency
in supply of water, as defined above, or by reason of one year having passed without
the principal meeting the conditions hereof, the Albemarle County Service
Authority shall proceed at once to make a connection between its existing
system in West Leigh and the principal's Meriwether system, and upon the
commencement of service through this connection, title to the Meriwether
water distribution system shall immediately pass to the Albemarle County
Service Authority, all customers thereof shall become customers of the
Service Authority and such Authority thereafter shall have sole responsibility
for water supply and maintenance of the system. Provided, however, that title
shall not pass as to the well lot, wells, pumps, storage tanks and any
and all equipment and appurtenances belonging to the production, storage and
pumping of water.
As security for the performance hereof, the principal has deposited
with the Authority a letter of credit, in the amount of $11,375.00.
At 10:40 P.M., the Board recessed and reconvened at 10:48 P.M.
Agenda Item No. 11. Public Hearing: An ordinance to provide for the review of
central sewerage and water supply systems. This ordinance to be known as Article III,
Chapter 10, Sections 10-17 through 10-20 of the Albemarle County Code.
Agenda Item No. 12. Public Hearing: An Ordinance to amend Chap~r~'~8~ofLt.he2.Alh~marle
County Code concerning certain definitions for subdivision control.
Agenda Item No. 13. Public Hearing: A~i.o~.inan~at~fa~nd certain definitions in
the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance; by the addition thereto of Section 16-18.01,
Central Sewerage System; section 16-18.02, Central Water Supply; and Section 16-70.1,
Public Utility; and by the amendment thereof of existing Section 16-69, Public Sewerage
System~and Section 16-70, Public Water Supply. (The three above agenda items were advertised
in the Daily Progress on December 1 and 8, 1976.)
Mr. Robert Tucker, Director of Planning, said the amendments can be considered together°
He said the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and the Albemarle
County Code were developed pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Supervisors to reduce
some of the procedure involved in obtaining central water supply and central sewerage
system permits. Currently, any water or sewerage system of three connections or more is
by special use permit only. Under the proposal, only public systems (as defined by 16-69;
16-70; 16-70.1 in the proposal) would require special use permit review. Central systems
would be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors and approved administratively by the County
Engineer in compliance with policy adopted by the Board of Supervisors on October 27,
1976. The proposed amendments to Chapter 10 of the Albemarle~County Code ha~e been included
for Planning Commission review but do not require Planning Commission action. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the other amendments.
The public hearing was opened. With no one present to speak for or against the
matter, the public hearing was closed.
Mrs. David felt the amendments under agenda i~em 11 should have been included in the
Zoning Ordinance. She would prefer that these amendments be deferred until after editorial
review of the Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. St. John said by state law the ~'oard is required to approve central well or central
sewerage systems that will serve more than three connections. The applicant must notify
the Board in writing of his intent to install such a system. This notice has nothing to
do with the notice required under zoning procedures. Since approval of these systems is
not a zoning matter, it has been recommended that ~.~s~ procedures be included as a separate
section of the County Code.
Mrs. David suggested that Section 10a~7'~be~aha~g~di~yJ~dal~g~bhe words "required to
be approved by the governing body pursuant to Chapter 9 of Title 15.1 of the Code of
Virginia" and changing to "is to serve or to be capable of serving three or more connections"
since she did not feel it was necessary to repeat the language in the Code.
Mrs. David then offered motion to: adopt an ordinance to provide for the review of
central sewerage and water supply systems to be known as Sectior~10-17 through 10-20 of
the Albemarle County Code with the language amended as set out above; 2) adopt an ordinance
to amend Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code concerning certain definitions for~ subdivisi¢
control; and 3) adopt an ordinance to amend certain definitions in the Albemarle County
Zoning Ordinance. (Ail amendments in total are set out below.) Mr. Roudabush seconded
the motion and same carried by the following recorded ~ote:

AN ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE FOR THE REVIEW OF CENTRAL
SEWERAGE AND WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County that the
Albemarle County Code be, and it hereby is, amended by the addition thereto,
in Chapter 10 of an Article III, as follows:
ARTICLE III
CENTRAL SEWERAGE AND WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
Section 10-17. Any person proposing to establish or extend any sewerage
system or any water supply which is to serve or to be capable of serving
three or more connections shall notify the governing body of his intent to
establish or extend the same at least sixty days prior to commencing construc-
tion thereof. Such notice shall be in writing and shall be filed with the
clerk of the governing body. In addition to the foregoing, such notice cha!l
include the following information:
(a) the location of the proposed sewerage system and/or water
supply;
(b) the number of connections proposed to be served thereby; and
(c) the type of system and/or supply which is proposed.
Section 10-18. The clerk of the governing body shall thereupon forthwith
transmit a copy of the notice to the county engineer for his review and shall
place the matter on the agenda of the governing body for consideration at a
regular meeting thereof.
Section 10-19. The county engineer shall cause the proposed system
and/or supply to be inspected to insure that the same shall be adequate to

Agenda Item No. 14. Appropriation: Library Board for Architect's Study.
Mr. Fisher noted receipt of a proposal from Yates and Berkeley Associates, Ltd., in
Portsmouth, Virginia, entitled "A Proposal for the Evaluation of the Charlottesville Post
Office/McIntire Library." He said the Board should be concerned with the first four
scopes of the evaluation which are: Program - A thorough analysis of the goals and expansic
program of the Library System applied ~o the 'Post Office Building; Program Development -
InterviewS'with the professional staff of the Library to define functional needs, additional
programs and services desired, and specific library requirements; Site~Evaluation - A
survey of parking, traffic and vehicular and pedestrian access to the Post Office/McIntire
site; and Preliminary Evaluation - A preliminary evaluation of the program requirements to
the plan of the Post Office. If after the preliminary evaluation is completed and the
findings are negative, the study will be concluded. The~Joint City/County Committee
recommends that a contract such as this be entered into preliminary to negotiating for
purchase_of the building.
Mr. Dorrier asked if there is any guarantee the County can buy the building. Mr.
Fisher said the County is not in a position to make an offer until they are sure the
building can be used for a library. Dr. Iachetta had doubts about the location of a main
library, in the downtown area. He did~not feel the mass of the future population would be
downtown and that maybe this should be a branch library~ Mrs. David said this matter has
been discussed for years and she could not see starting in a whole new direction at this
time.
At this time, Dr. Iachetta offered motion to participate with the City in the cost of
this study and further requesting that the intitial evaluation of the feasibility of the
conversion of the building be in writing; and also to adopt the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County,
Virginia, that $5,000.00 be and the same hereby is appropriated from
the General Fund and coded to 18B.3 for an evaluation of the
post ogfice.building as a regional library facility.

(Deferred from afternoon
Mrs. David said she has felt that the terms of the Planning Commission members should
coinGide with the terms of the Board of Supervisor members. In order to bring this about,
several amendments are needed in Section 2-4 of the Albemarle County Code. She proposed
that of the nine voting members, one shall be nominated from each of the six magisterial
districts by the board member representing that district, and three shall be nominated to
serve at large. Three of the members appointed from specified magisterial districts shall
be appointed in each even-numbered year following county elections by nomination of the
newly elected board members and for terms coextensive with theirs. One member-at-large
shall be appointed each year for a three-year term. She also felt the Planning Commission

the Board could go on record about the matter since Scottsville will be affected.
Mr. Roudabush said he had contacted some landowners in the northeast section of the
County about the acquisition of land for a fire station. Two businessmen and citizens of
the County have made an offer to donate approximately one acre of land in the vincity of
Rio Road and Route 29 North. At this time, he offered motion to authorize Mr. Agnor, Dr.
Iachetta and himself to negotiate with the owners and donors of the property and acquire
title; to discuss the matter with members of the Jefferson Country Fireman's Association
to get their concurrence on location and suitability of the property; and to make these
