In November of 1974, the Parks Committee investigated the use of the old Milton Bridge site as a boat access to the Rivanna River. They recommended against the use of this site due to severe limitations of land area, high development costs and the availability of a site at the University Airport. The Board then asked the Committee to pursue a contract with the University for use of the airport site before abandoning the Milton site. The University expressed its desire to help by giving the County permission to use the site but were unable to commit themselves for an extended period of time and reserved the right to cancel the agreement at any time they developed conflicting need for the facility. Subset to this action, the Parks Committee and the Board agreed to forego the airport option and to provide minimal improvements to the Milton site for a trial period of one year. The site was then to be reviewed and either abandoned or improved by acquiring the necessary land and constructing adequate facilities. In June of 1975, construction was completed and the facility was opened. The major difficulty with the site now existing is that it consists of a 30 foot strip of road enclosed by a barbed wire fence on both sides. Consequently, there is neither adequate room for parking nor for turning vehicles around once they have entered. The result has been a continual incidence of. vandalism and trespass and extremely poor relations with the property owner whose land surrounds this strip. Mr. Roudabush said people use the old road bed as an access to the old bridge piers and for launching their boats. There is no parking available because the adjoining property is individually owned. In the early summer, there was quite a lot of abuse to the adjoining property. He did not feel this location ts~adequate for public use due to the parking situ~ation. Unless adequate parking is made available and additional land acquired, the present situation constitutes a nuisance to the adjoining property owner. Mr. Agnor noted that the Sheriff's Department receives a number of calls pertaining to cars being blocked in. The adjoining property owner is unwilling to sell. He does not feel condemnation is justifiable for recreational needs. He concurred in the recommendatio to close the site. ~"S~ptem~976 Mr. Fisher felt strongly that the public should not be denied access to the river. Under state law, the public has a right to use the river if they can get to it without trespassing. Mr. Robert Sampson, Parks Director, stated that the Parks Committee is looking at possible school ground sites as neighborhood or community sites. He noted that boating in this location is minimal. Dr. Ia'~hetta offered motion to defer this item to October 13 so each Board member could view the site. Mr. Roudabush seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush. NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 4b. Request for Street Signs (2). Dr. Iachetta offered motion to adopt the following resolutions: WHEREAS, request has been received for a street sign to identify Eastbrook (State Route 1417) and Idlewood Drives (State Route 1415) in Section 10 of Woodbrook with each named street sign placed on the same post; and WHEREAS, residents of Section 10 of Woodbrook have agreed to purchase this sign, said sign to be purchased through the Office of the County Executive and to conform with standards set by the State Department of Highways and Transportation; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, that the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation be and is hereby requested to install and maintain the above mentioned street signs. WHEREAS, request has been received for a street sign to identify Old Brook Road at its intersection with Rio Road and state maintained road 652; and WHEREAS, arresident of Old Brook Road has agreed to purchase this sign, said sign to be purchased through the Office 6f the County Executive and to conform with standards set by the State Department of Highways and Transportation; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, that the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation be and is hereby requested to install and maintain the above mentioned street sign. Mrs. David 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. Other Highway Matters Not on the Agenda. Mr. Agnor noted receipt of a letter from Dan Roosevelt, Resident Highway Engineer, concerning a new addition off of Route 698. The Road Vi~we~did not recommend that this be taken into.the secondary system. The request originally was for 0.37 mile, but has been revised~o-only approximately 200 feet. Mr. Roosevelt has indicated that this 200 foot section i~s;~e~igible for consideration as a rural addition. Mr. Agnor recommended that this request go back to the road viewers for another review. Mr. Roudabush offered motion to refer this to the Road Viewers for their reconsideration Dr. Iachetta seconded the motion and same carried by the following-recorded vote: AYESf NAYS: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush. None. Mr. Agnor also noted acknowledgment from the Highway Department of the acceptance of Stockton Road from Route 708 to its cul-de-sac in Rush Estates Subdivision, effective July l, 197~. (Per resolution dated April 14, 1976.) Agenda Item No. 4d. Highway Matters Not on the Agenda from Board Members. Mr. Henley said he had received numerous calls about Route 691 where it crosses Route 690 at the Country Store and the sewer line which runs in the road at that point. Mr. Roosevelt said there is a privately owned sewer line running within the 30 foot restricted easement of Route 691. The line has been there since 1910. The line is in a state of disrepair. Although the sewer line does not physically interefere with the Highway Departmenl construction, it is in such disrepair that if they build over it, there will be trouble. The owner of the sewer line feels that the line is not within the 30 foot restricted easement and that it is the Highway Department's responsibility to relocate the line. He could find no proof of this. It was his understanding that the Board of Supervisors in 19q2 zuaranteed this right of way to the Highway Department free of encumbrances. He has S September 8, 1976 Mr. Fisher asked if the Health Department had taken any position on this. Mr. Henley said he was told that the Health Department was contacted and they dumped it back into the Board's lap. Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Agnor to contact the Health Department about this situation. felt the Health Department should use their enforcement procedures to deal with this problem. He Mr. Roosevelt said with the limited amount of funds available and the number of needs in the County, if the~e problems delay construction for a long period of time, he would prefer to drop this project and use the funds elsewhere. Mr. Fisher suggested that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Agnor work with the Health Department on this matter. Mr. Roudabush said-heehas received a lot of complaints about dust and the drainage problems on the short section of Route 769 which is unpaved. Mr. Roosevelt said he has not had a chance to investigate the problem. Mr. Roudabush also asked about the water puddle on Route 649 (Proffit Road). Mr. Roosevelt said he is aware of it and has ~tten to Mr. Lewis, the property owner on the downstream side. Mr. Lewis told him to get in touch with his attorney. Mr. Roosevelt said he will do so and try to get some type of easement from Mr. Lewis to drain the water do~n across his property, however, he felt Mr. Lewis has no intention of ~anting an easement. Dr. Iachetta asked about the roads in Section !0 in Woodbrook. Mr. Roosevelt said the paper work is incomplete. Dr. Iachetta then asked about Four Seasons roads. Mr. Coburn, Assistant Resident Highway Engineer, said some drainage easements were not included on the plats. There are a couple of places where the plats and plans do not agree. He said this should be resolved shortly. Dr. Iachetta said several months ago, the Board had asked the E~gineering Department to make a property line survey so the end of Bennington Road not p~es~n~y in the Secondary System could be accepted. Those residents have now withdrawn their request. The turnaround was surveyed. In order to get a ~ foot diameter turnaround required by the state it would curia substantial frontage off of the Johnson's property. ~It would also leave the O'Brien property without direct access to the turnaround except through the driveway of the Matthews These property owners now request the Board to consider the full extension of Bennington Road so the Matthews lot and the O'Brien lot can front directly onto an extension of Bennington Road. Mr. Fisher felt this was a matter for the Planning Department. Mr. Dorrier asked if caution signs will be installed along Route 631 and at the intersection of Routes 6 and 715. Mr. Roosevelt said he is waiting for the traffic engineer to obtain information. Mr. Dorrier asked if any steps have been taken to control the dust on Route 717. Mr. Roosevelt said the Highway Department attempted to get calcium chloride on all the gravel roads after it rained last week. Dr. Iachetta said Albemarle's HiE'h~y~ggety Commission has suggested that they be included in site plan reviews with respect to proper safety considerations at openings. Mr. Fisher suggested this matter be discussed at the September 15 meeting. Mr. Fisher thanked the Highway Department for the signs D~a~e~ on Ballard Road and for changing the speed limit on the 250 by-pass through the construction area. Agenda Item No. 4c. Highway Matters Not on the Agenda from the Public. Mrs. Martha Selden, Citizens for Albem~r&e, presented a request from the Scenic Roads Co~mmittee, asking that a committee be appointed to look at traffic problems in the area of the school sites on 250 West. Agenda Item No. 5. Other Matters Not on the Agenda from the Public. one from the public present to speak on any matters. There was no Agenda Item No. 7. Resolution -- Mike Gleason. Mr. Mike Gleason of the Bicentennial Commission was present and thanked-the Board for their role in making the documentary film, Mr. Jefferson's Legacy, a success. Mr. Gleason said he had requested the City and the County to extend a formal invitation to the community of Poggio a Caiano, Italy to visit Charlottesville and Albemarle County. He presented a resolution for the Chairman to sign. Mrs. David offered motion authorizing the Chairman to sign the following resolution: WHEREAS, the community of Charlottesville and Albemarle County once hosted, and had as its resident, Mr. Filippo Mazzei, a native of Poggio a Caiano, Italy, and a friend of Thomas Jefferson; and WHEREAS, the community is proud of the friendship and association between Mr. Mazzei and Mr. Jefferson; and WHEREAS, the community has learned that a delegation from Poggio a Caiano plans a visit here in October 1976; NOW, BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT the Council of the City of Charlottesville, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Albemarle and the Bicentennial Commission of the City and County, in behalf of the citizens of the community, extend to this delegation an official invitation and welcome to Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia. 35'B September 8, 1976 Mr. Dorrier seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush. NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 6. Mike Gleason: Request for Reappointment of Sign Advisory Commission Mr. Gleason said a Sign Advisory Commission was established in 1974 by the previous Board of.Supervisors. The primary reason for establishing this Commission was to look into ~ancerns about off premise-advertising signs in the County. After a number of public hearings, the Commission brought to the Board a list of recommendationS. One recommendation was that the Board of Supervisors request the General Assembly for legislation giving local option for the amortization of signs. This Wa~znot approved'by the General Assembly. Another recommendation was for the County to seek a plaza plan to assist motorists as they enter the County. The Commission encountered problems with the business groups on this because they £elt that approval of this would be used later to approve amortization. The third recommendation was a logo system along the interstate. This was opposed by the business groups because these signs were standardized and they felt them to be in conflict with the free enterprise system. The Commission has not been able to implement any of their recommendations and ~av~''? been inactive this year. Now that tourist season is over, the Commission hopes to implement some of their recommendations. A number of committees have been organized in the community and they have made it clear that they have new ideas and thoughts which were not available when the report was first made. Upon writing to the Commission members, Mr. Gleason discovered that one member could not continue on the committee, but the '~lowing have indicated their willingness to continue on the commission and to seek new information. They are Mr. John Crafaik, Sr., Mr. LeRoy W. Graves, Mr. Edward R. Jackson, Mrs. John E. Scott, Jr., Mrs. Richard T. Selden, Mr. William S. Roudabush, Mrs. Massie Shide, Secretary, and himself. Mr. D.ean Jacobs, representing the Charlottesville-Albemarle Restaurant Association spoke next. He said the Association is against recommendations proposed by the Sign Advisory Commission. The Association has ma~eived letters from tourists passing through on 1-64, saying they could not find a sign indicating where to eat or sleep. They feel signs are needed. Mrs. Grace Carpenter, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Sign Committee, said their position has not been formed. Mr. Robert Albee, President of the Virginia Campground Association, spoke next. The Association has a vested interest in signs. They .are concerned about signs because their industry depends on tourism. He is aware that unsightly and unkept signs are an eyesore and should be controlled and regulated. In many cases, billboards are used by interests outside of the County for advertising and are of little use to tourists and citizens of the County. He said the recommendation for a logo sign program is a good one and should be implemented. Mr. W. L. Hall, Hotel~Lodgi~g Association, was present. He said the Lodging As is in favor of a new committee and ~®~_~ha~man, with a representative from their associat: on the Commission. They are willing to work with anyone in arriving at some type of acce sign provisions to everyone. Mrs. Martha Selden, representing the Citizens for Albemarle, spoke next. She said the .I-95 logo signs have had unanimous support from the traveling public and business groups using them. She proposes that representatives from the north corridor of the county, the southern and the eastern areas also be included on the Commission. Citizens for Albemarle also proposes that homeowners be represented. Mr. Fisher said the question today is whether to continue the commission and enlarge it by incorporating~all t~e different suggestions proposed. As stated earlier by Mr. Gleason, the primary purpose of organizing the Commission was to do something about Billboards a~e~used~For general advertising and do not advertise for specific businesses, The previous Board did support changes in legislation to permit amortization of signs. This Board has endorsed the concept of the logo signs on the interstate, the ~oncept of kiosks for the traveling public. It is against the law in Albemarle County to erect any sign that is visible from an interstates, highway. Some people have indicated their feelings that~this is wrong. Mr. Fisher said more work is needed by a group of people who represent diverse interests to look a~the County's sign ordinance$~and the welfare of the general and the traveling public. Mr. Dorrier asked Mr. Gleason his reaction to increasing the membership of the Commission. Mr. Gleason said he had mixed emotions on this~ A large group ma~es it difficult to have detailed discussions. A smaller group can resolve things easier. Mr. Roudabush said he had served on the Board of Zoning Appeals for several years. two-thirds of the agenda was for variances to the Sign Ordinance. He said ~.h~tcommission should look at the cases that have come before the Board of Zoning Appeals, the reasons given in requests for variances, and why they were turned down if not issued. From the discussion today, this matter needed to be looked into from a new approach. Mrs. David urged that an attempt be made to arrive at standards and policy rather than having everything in the ordinance spelled out in detail. The variety, the complexity of what is being dealt with is so great that it cannot be satisfactorily handled that way. She also would like to see ~he establishment of some general guidelines that can be defended Mr. Fisher suggested that this matter be deferred until September 15. At that time, a decision w~l! be made on enlarging the present commission and ~D.~asic charge. Le September 8, 1976 35? Agenda Item No. 8. Request from Museum of Commerce. Mr. Mike Gleason was not ready to present this matter and requested the Board to hear it at another time. Agenda Item No. 9. Review of Easement for Galban Subdivision Plat. (Noted as Lots i-7, Farmington, and being portions of Parcel 1, on Sheet 60E(3), County Tax Map, drawn by B. Aubrey Huffman and Associates, and dated February 11, 1976.) Mr. Fisher said he had ~aquested the Board to review this plat because ~there are Six ~s?~.whi~h Wii~b~seryedi~by~he~as~ment granted by the Planning Commission. He f~els this subdivision will be approved with basically private roads. Mr. Robert Tucker, Director of Planning, said the plat as originally submitted had seven lots. The Planning Commission approved the plat with the following five conditions: t) A note on the plat that the proposed easement will serve as the only means of ingress and egress to all the lots, and that no other entrances will be permitted onto Route 601; 2) the 50-foot easement must be legally described on the plat; 3) Note on the plat that no further use of this easement will be permitted without Planning Commission approval; ~) Lots 6 and 7 must be combined; 5) County attorney must approve maintenance agreement for the easement. Mr. Tucker said the primary reason for allowing this easement is the condition of Route 601 which has very little if ~ny site distance at this point. This will allow access from a central road rather than having six entrances onto Route 601. The topography is very steep. The ~lanning Commission does not have any s~t policy for a~r~va! of easements. Mr. Fisher said the Board did away with the concept of restricted roads and this seems to be a2~sS~rT~d road~ Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission did not want to see individual 'entrances coming off of each one of these lots onto 01d Garth Road. Mr. Roudabush said restricted roads wereapermitted as the only access and all lots using restricted roads only ~ad frontage on that restricted road. This is different. Access could be available to each of these lots off of Route 601. In view of the condition of the road and the topography of the land, this alternate means of access seems to be more acceptable. Mr. Fisher said he understands that access from each lot would be detrimental to the public using that road, but questioned whether this should not be a public road built to the prope~standards. ~.:~ Mrs. David~asked if this condition of approval can be legally enforced. Mr. St. John said if it is accepted by the subdivider. Mr. Tucker said Mr. Roosevelt of the Highway Department informed him that the Highway Department is~re~uired to give only one access driveway to a piece of property if it provides adeqmate access. If it is an easement or a joint driveway, this condition can be enforced. ~Mr. St. John said Section 18-36 ~f the Subdivision Ordinance provides for private easements and restricted streets. Mr. Henley felt if the owner wants to keep the public out, he i~]~altyf~½such. Mrs. Evalyn Galban, the applicant,~as~present. She said she has had problems with the general public. When she bought the property in Farmington, she was told it could never be subdivided into more than ten lots. She had never thought of this as a subdivision. Mr. Fisher said the Planning Commission has no policy or ordinances which set out any standards £or this type of road. Mr. Tucker said the standards were left to the discretion of the developer. Mr.. Fisher was concerned that the landowners will some day come to the Board wanting the County's assistance in getting the Highway Department to take over the Mr, Henley did not think this would be a problem since provisions in ~h~h~eowners' ag: have been improved. He did not want to see the Board go any further than making sure they a proper and good right of way, Dr. Iachetta agreed with Mr. Henley. He f&~t the~,uyer be aware that this is not a public road and would probably never be. Mr. St.~gohn felt the standards and maintenance shohld be left to the developer as long as that provision is in the homeowners agreement. Mr. Fisher said he would like to encourage this be included in the homeowners agreement for such e~sements. (No action ~as taken.) At 11:50 A.M., Dr. Iachetta left the meeting to teach a class. Agenda Item No. 10. Robert Abbott: H~alth Systems Agency. Mr. Robert Abbott, Executive Director of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Cormmis~ was present. He said a new law, PL 93-641, the National Health Planning and Resource Development Act, establishes a system for health planning agencies in all states to plan to improve health care delivery to all people, to restrain the costs of such care and to prevent duplication and overlap of services. The Governor has delineated five areas which by law must contain at least 500,000 persons and at least one highly specialized health center if possible. There will be one Health Systems Agency in each health service area of Virginia. The Health Systems Agency is responsible for finding out the health needs of its population, evaluating existing services and facilities, developing a long-range~plan for health care and an annual work program (called an Annual Implementation Plan), reviewing, approving or disapproving all requests for funds for health programs or facilities, collect information and statistics and cooperating with other planning and regulatory bodies. The Northwestern Virginia Health Systems Agency will serve 588,000 persons in Virginia Planning Districts Six, Seven, Nine, Ten and Sixteen with a staff and office to be located in Charlottesville. It will be directed by a board of directors comps~ad?~f 30 persons from various health oriented professions and consumers. September 8, 1976 A subarea council will be formed in each component planning district of the Northwestern Virginia HSA service area. The council will be composed of 30 members of a consumer dominate~ governing body; six will be elected officials from Planning District Ten. By law, the subarea council and its board have only an advisory function to the Health Systems Board, however, the subarea council can play a vital and influential role in relation to the Health Systems Agency and its activities. Duties include reviewing and recommending action on all proposals or applications for funds submitted to the Health Systems Agency which affect the subarea council's district; helping develop the Health Systems Plan and the Annual Implementation Plan; coordinating activities with other planning groups in the area; holding necessary public hearings; nominating Health Systems Agency board members; and receiving funds from the Health Systems Agency and other sources as specified in the law. It will be up to the subarea council to see that local needs are recognized and priorities served, to encourage local grant applications, to help develop local funds for local projects and to build local interest in and acceptance of activities affecting its area. An active subarea council will be a great asset to its district and the Health Systems Agency it advises. ~ .Mr. Abbott then requested that the Board appoint a member to serve on this Subarea Council. Motion was offered by Mrs. David to appoint Mr. Lindsay Dorrier, Jr., to serve on this council. Mr. Roudabush seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote: __ AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Fisher, Henley and Roudabush. NAYS: None. ABSTAINING: Mr. D.orrier. ABSENT: Dr. Iachetta. Agenda Item No. 11. Robert Tucker: Precinct Boundaries for 1980 Census. Mr. Tucker said the 1976 Session of the General Assembly had enacted a new law, Chapter 376 of the Acts of Assembly, to enable Virginia to submit certain mapping plans to the United States Bureau of the Census for use in taking the 1980 census. Each local governing body was requested to appoint a liaison to represent their locality in working with the State Division of Legislative Services; he was so appointed on May 12, 1976. _ This legislation was directed by Congress, who directed that the states furnish the Bureau of the Census with maps that show all election districts and precincts within their state. In cases where these maps are furnish~ed in compliance with the criteria established by the Secretary of Commerce of the United States, the Census Bureau will use these boundarie~ when reporting 1980 census information. The resulting data will be of benefit to the governing bodies of counties and cities, as well as to the General Assembly, in redistrict- ing in 1981. One of the requirements of the program is that all election districts and precinct boundaries fOltow clearly distinguishable geographic features; another is that all maps showing such boundaries be sent to the Bureau of the Census early in 1977. The Bureau of the Census advises that benefits can be derived from establishing clearly defined election boundarmes, thus justifying a change from an existing "imaginary boundary line" to the "nearest geographic feature, i.e., a road, street, stream, creek, railroad tract, mountain ridge, overhead transmission line, etc." Senator Paul W. Manns, Chairman, Privileges and Elections Subcommittee on 1980 Special Census, has forwarded a questionnaire to determine the status of compliance of each county and city. The questionnaire gives the following three options: Ail of the election district and precinct boundaries within our county now follow clearly defined and clearly observable features. We have either marked up and returned the appropriate set of maps to the Director of Legislative Services or will do so as quickly as possible. w Ail, or a portion, of the election district and precinct boundaries within our county do not follow clearly defined and clearly observable boundaries, but our governing body is in the process of or will take the necessary action to change them so that they do. The appropriate set of maps will then be marked up and sent to the Division of Legislative Services as soon as possible. We feel that special problems regarding election district andi~p~ecinct boundaries exist within our county and request that members of your staff contact to assist us in resolving suCh problems. Mr. Tucker said although County records have been ~ea~ahed~by~i~sta~no definite determination has been made for the precinct boundaries between the Covesville/Porter's Precinct; the Porter's/Scottsville Precinct or the Crozet/F~ee Union Precinct; meaning that they have not been set out by metes and bounds. He asked what response the Board wanted to make to the questionnaire. It was the consensus that Item #1 be checked, but crossing out the words "and precinct boundaries" in the ~irst line; that Item #2 ~ot be checked; that Item #3 be checked, crossing out the words "election district" in the first line and inserting "Robert Tucker" in the blank. Motion was then offered by Mr. Roudabush authorizing the Chairman to sign the questionnaire with the corrections as noted. The motion was seconded by Mrs. David and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley and Roudabush. None. Dr. Iachetta. Agenda Item No. 12. from August 11, 1976). Review of Fees Charged by Planning and Zoning Offices. By consensus on August 1!, the Board has agreed to the following fees: (Deferred 359' September 8, 1976 A $40.00 flat fee for review of subdivision plats containing three acres or less; graduated fee schedule for review of site plans; $50.00 flat fee for rezonings, special permits and zoning text amendment applications. The staff was requested to do a more detailed study of fees to be charged for ap~ such as PUD's and RPN zones and to also present recommendations for a charge for soil erosion permits; no fee 'now being charged by the County. Mr. Tucker said he had made inquiries of other localities to find their criteria for setting fees and found that most are based on acreage. He then made the following .~ ~ :_-:.~:~ recommendations: For RPN rezonings, special permits for planned unit developments and mobile home parks: Under five acres - 550.00; five to ten acres - $75.00; over ten acres - 5100.00, plus $1.00 for each acre over ten. Mr. Tucker said several Board members had felt that a $50.00 fee was too high for regular mobile home permits since most are now approved administratively. He has reviewed this recommendation and now feels the present $20.00 fee is adequate. Special permits for mobile home parks should follow the same fee scale as PUD's. The staff now feels that the existing fee of $20.00 is also adequate for zoning text amendments. Mr. Hartwetl Clarke, former Zoning Administrator, was present to speak on erosion control permits. He said the State enabling legislation limits the fee chargeable on projects that require erosion control plan review to a maximum of $25.00 if there is no site plan review involved. If a fee is charged for site plan review, no fee can be charged for erosion control plan review. Mr. Clarke said since the erosion control plan review and site plan review are done at the same time, he feels the cost of the soil erosion review can be added to the proposed fee for site plan review. If a site plan review fee is set with the additional cost for erosion ~ontrol added, the following is suggested~ Erosion fees for projects that require a site plan review can be calculated using the total length of road, if any, the number of lots created, or the square footage of the land that is disturbed. A fee of $0.30 per lineal foot of roads with a minimum fee of $100.00 or a fee of $0.002 per square foot of disturbed area with a minimum fee of $40.00 should recover the hard cost of enforcing the erosion control program for those projects that require erosion control plan review. Mr. Fisher noted the several suggestions that had been made to amend fee schedules. He requested Mr. St. John to draft an ordinance incorpor&ting the suggestions, returning these for the Board's review of same before setting a public hearing°date. ~ -.~-.~ Mr. Benjami~ Dick, Zoning Administrator, ~aid permits for signs now cost $2.00~and t~ke a lot of staff time; he felt $10.00 would be a fair amount. Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Agnor to work with the staff on charges for sign permits. At 12:53 P.M., the Board recessed for lunch and ~econvened at 1:45 P.M. time, Dr. Iachetta returned to the meeting. At which Agenda Item No. 13. Ray Jones, Delinquent Tax List. Mr. Ray Jones, Director of Finance, was present and recommended that official action be taken to forego advertising of delinquent real estate and personal property tax lists. In 1971, the Board of Supervisors took such action and he felt it would be wise to do so again. In the Code of Virginia, Sections 59-978 and 58-983 procedures are set forth for preparing delinquent tax lists. The sections also say that the Board of Supervisors may advertise such list prepared and submitted by the Director of Finance. The delinquent tax lists have been prepared. The real estate lists are on display in the Clerk's Office and the Department of Finance. Personal property lists are displayed in the Department of Finance. The county's auditors are concerned because the state audit guide requires a statement by the auditor in their letter of transmittal of how this matter is handled, h~ke Mr. Jones said advertisement is costly and it causes the taxpayer either embarrassment or anger. A resolution of the Board is satisfactory to forego publication. Mr. Roudabush offered motion to forego advertising the list of taxpayers for the tax year 1975 that were delinquent as of June 30, 1976. Dr. Iachetta seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush. NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 14.

Reynolds, County Fire Marshal concerning Mr. Lewis Rhodes who recently replaced Grover Mowbray as Scottsville Fire Chief.

Ordinance for Transporting Loaded Firearms in Albemarle County. Mr. Dorrier said the Southside Albemarle Association had been unsuccessful in their attemots to deal with the increasin~ ~roblems of ille~at huntin~ in southern Albemarle September 8, 1976 County. Last year, the Association had requested the State to hire another game warden to patrol this area, however, the request was refused in Richmond due to the unavailability of funds. He noted that at the last session of the General Assembly, Code Section 18.2-287.1 was passed which gives ~hab~o~erning body of any county the power to adopt ordinances making it unlawful for any person to transport, possess or carry a loaded shotgun or rifle in any vehicle on any public street, road or highway within such locality. The Association requested him to bring this matter to the Board's attention to see if the Board would adopt such an ordinance ~ Mr. James Murray, counsel for the Southside Association, was next to speak. He said the main problem stems from hunters firing from the road. The?.A~saciat±mntfee~s~thatl~ adoption of an ordinance will help the game wardens in enforcing the State's laws. Sheriff George Bailey was present and said that Mr. Ray Walker, game warden spends 75% of his time in Albemarle County and 25% has to be covered by the Sheriff's Department with ex-officio game wardens. He felt a good safety factor was to unload a firearm before getting in a vehicle. Mr. Preston Carter, a resident of Southside Albemarle, was present and expressed his feelings for the need of an ordinance of this type. An unidentified resident of southern Albemarle County expressed her concerns about problems encountered in that part of the County and her desire to see an ordinance passed. After a short discussion by the Board about the phrase "use for personal safety in the course of his employment or business", the consensus of the Board was to have the drafted ordinance advertised for public hearing on October 20, 1976 at 7:30 P.M. in the Albemarle County Courthouse.

Other Matters Not on the Agenda from the Board. Dr. Iachetta said that earlier in the year Mr. E. E. Thompson, Executive Director of the Albemarle County Service Authority, had informed the Board that McNair Associates had been engaged to look at what was needed ~oralleviate t~e sewer situation in Westmoreland and Hessian Hills. To this date, he has heard nothing further and would like to know the status of such. Mr. Agnor said he would check on this matter. Mr. Fisher noted correspondence from Ray Jones about the sale of a well lot in Woodbrook Subdivision. He thought Mr. Jones was indicating the school board would have to go to auction~if they wanted the well lot. Mr. Fisher said he was-unsure if the school board had the authorit~y to do so without having the funds available to purchase such and without authorization from the Board of Supervisors. Mr. St. John said the well lot could be appraised and then sold to the school board at that price. Mr. Fisher said he had received a letter from Walter Cushman regarding the Board's policy on central well permits. After some discussion on this matter, the Board appointed a committee composed of Dr. Iachetta and Mr. Roudabush to study the standards which apply to central well systems. ~ County Attorney was requested to communicate with Mr. Cushman informing him of this committee. M~. Fisher noted communication received from Mr. George Long of the Virginia Association of Counties relating to negotiations with VEPCO on electrical service and rates. He noted that the Steering Committee has advised each locality to continue paying for electric power service at the old rate. Mr. Agnor pointed out that the County's contract expired on June 30, 1976 and the County is being billed at the old rate. Dr. Iachetta suggested that the School Board investigate using a central clock system in the new schools which would shut down in the evening and pick up in the morning. Mr. Fisher said he had requested from the School Superintendent last year an itemized list of state mandated programs and their cost to the County. Mr. Agnor said this was September 8_~1976 discussed at the August LGOC meeting and it was discovered that no such list is available. A request was distributed at the meeting to all localities for such a list to be sent to the Virginia Association of Counties office to be compiled before the Virginia Association of Counties annual meeting in November. Mr. Fisher noted a letter from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The letter involved housing assistance to be provided in seven congressional districts in the State of Virginia by HUD. The object of the letter was for the governing body to have the opportunity to accept or reject applications for such. Mr. Fisher noted that the letter showed no breakdown for Albemarle County and asked Mr. Agnor to check on this matter. Mr. Fisher said the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority has requested the Board's concurre~ i~i~tha~mor~tm~um placed on sewer connections to the Moore's Creek filter plant. Mr. St. John said the Albemarle County Service Authority adopted rules and regulations regulating, limiting, and restricting the discharge of waste into the sanitary sewer system. He noted that an ordinance will be presented to the Board in the future with a request that this be adopted as part of the Albemarle County Code. Mr. FisHer then noted a letter from Lindsay Dorrier, Jr., disclosing existence of a contract for legal services between h~mself and the Town of Scottsville for the work on the Mink Creek Impoundment Phase of the Flood Management and Economic Revitalization Program for the Town of Scottsville. (Letter dated August 18, 1976.) This letter to be on permanent file in the Clerk's Office. Mr. Fisher noted a meeting held on August 31, 1976, of the Chairmen of all Board of Supervisors of the counties in ~lan~im~:~strict XX. Ail expressed interest in establishing uniform information for handling budget requests of the various agencies. He also noted that two of the counties were unhappy about the amount they are charged for prisoners held a~ the Joint Security Complex. He said another such meeting is scheduled for October 1, 1976. Mr. Agnor said the Albemarle Service Authority has agreed to rent the space presently occupied by the Land Use Office in the old Jailor's Residence at the presant r&te of $3.50 per square foot. He noted that the lease does not require confirmation, but he felt it would be best to have official action taken by the Board. At this time, Mrs. David offered motion to authorize the County Executive to approve the agreement and negotiate an amendment to the original contract. Dr. Iachetta seconded the foregoing motion and same carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dottier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta ~nd Roudabush. None. Mr. Agnor recommended that Mr. Herman Dorrier, Deputy Dog Warden, be transferred to the position of Dog Warden to fill out the term of Sam Robertson, who recently died~ H~ recommend~ that Mr~ Dorrier start at the beginning step for th~s~po~mn on the Pay/Classification Plan and be placed on a probationary period of six months. Mr. Henley offered motion to appoint Mr. Herman Dorrier as Dog Warden as recommended by Mr. Agnor. ~ve~aahetta 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. Agnor said he had received a number of calls asking if Albemarle County is aware of a new Public Works Law passed by Congress. An article which appeared in the Daily Progress last week, quoting him, had some inaccuracies. He did not intend to indicate that the Downtown Post Office Building was being considered as a County Office Building nor that the county is ignoring Judge Berry's needs for space. This law requires that the job begin within ninety days of the receipt of funds. The only project with already completed plans is the connection between the Courthouse and the County Office Building so he did not feel that Albemarle County would get any funds. He also said that the Building Officials'(~de Administrators in Chicago have appointed Mr. Hartwelt Clarke as a representative on their interpretation committee. Also, Mr. Kelly Reynolds has been appointed to the Code Change Committee on the Fire Prevention Code for BOCA. At 4:05 P.M., at the request of the Chairman, Mr. Henley offered motion to adjourn into executive session to discuss legal matters. 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.
