RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Policy of the Comprehensive Plan (the "Policy") sets
forth a number of goals, objectives and strategies for economic development in Albemarle County; and
WHEREAS, recent data has identified the lack of land available for Light Industry uses, the need
for workforce development, and the County's agricultural economy as three compelling economic trends
related to a number of the Policy's objectives; and
WHEREAS, in order to address these trends, it is desired to amend the Policy to prioritize
strategies pertaining to increasing available land for local business expansion associated with Light
Industry uses; encouraging and providing workforce development opportunities, with an emphasis on
emerging business segments; and enhancing the economic viability of the rural economy, with an
emphasis on those segments that protect the character of the Rural Areas.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good planning and land use practices, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
hereby adopts a resolution of intent to amend the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan by amending
the Economic Development Policy as described herein and to make any other changes to the
Comprehensive Plan deemed to be necessary in order to achieve the purposes described herein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the
Comprehensive Plan amendment proposed by this resolution of intent, and make its recommendations to
the Board of Supervisors at the earliest possible date.

RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, current zoning regulations limit the height of poles for athletic facility lighting to the
maximum height allowed for structures in the applicable zoning district; and
WHEREAS, in order to safely light an athletic facility, outdoor luminaires must provide sufficient
illumination to all parts of the field or court and, to do so, the luminaires must be placed high enough over
the athletic facility to provide such illumination; and
WHEREAS, in most if not all zoning districts, the maximum height allowed for structures does not
allow outdoor luminaires to be placed high enough over an athletic facility to provide safe illumination; and
WHEREAS, in order to meet dark skies ordinances and to assure that athletic facilities are safely
illuminated, it is desired to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow poles for athletic facility lighting to be
taller than the height otherwise allowed in the applicable zoning district, provided that the Planning
Commission grants a waiver of the zoning district's height limitation on a case-by-case basis and
authorizes the poles to be erected at a height determined to be necessary to safely illuminate the athletic
facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good land development practices, the Board of Supervisors hereby adopts a
resolution of intent to amend Zoning Ordinance 99 4.10,3.2, 4.17,5 and any other regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance deemed appropriate to achieve the purposes described herein.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the
zoning text amendment proposed by this resolution of intent, and make its recommendation to the Board
of Supervisors, at the earliest possible date.

What does it take to solve complex problems demanding utmost ingenuity?
How do you solve a serious problem relating to the earth system and present the solution in a humorous
fashion? How do you solve the problem of the muse? How do you connect the ancient Greek times
with the current political environment? It takes intense team-work, hard work, talent and amazing
creativity! This is what the two teams from the Albemarle Homeschoolers Network have demonstrated
by winning First prize in two diverse problem categories at the Regional Odyssey of the Mind
tournament that was held in March. The scores of both the teams were spectacular, and one team even
earned a rare perfect score on the style element of their solution.
The teams comprise of homeschooled kids: Allison Mueller, Athman Adiseshan, David Novotne, Joanna
Mueller, Rob Arthur, Mariah Novotne, Mitra Germershausen, Morgan McPherson, Tara Adiseshan and
Tessa Paget-Brown. The teams have been meeting since October with their coach Mamtha Adiseshan.
The team members have very diverse talents and interests, and this reflects in their performance. Their
solutions presented as performances have elements of dance, music, theatre, science, art, and excellent
script-writing abilities. Their coach remarks, "It is sheer joy to see something fantastic emerge out of
differences!"
The kids have learned important life-skills, something that Corporate America is spending millions of
dollars training their employees - teamwork! In an atmosphere of fun and creativity, the kids have
learned to work through differences and channelize their energy into amazingly creative performances.
All the team members are members of the Albemarle Homeschoolers Network, which was founded by
Silvia Barrett in July 2003. The group has provided numerous opportunities for homeschooled children
to learn and have fun together, now serving, over 400 families.
Best wishes to both teams as they advance to the next level of competition - the State Tournament to
be held in Sterling ,VA on April 5th, 2008!

Thanks for all your efforts!! Here is some information about the teams and Odyssey of the Mind (OM):
Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving
opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Kids apply their creativity to solve problems
that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics.
They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams
from throughout the u.s. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.
The team names and members are as follows:

Quarterly Economic Review
A Comparison of Selected National, Regional,
and Local Economic Indicators
Loudoun County Department of Management & Financial Services
Volume 5, Issue 2
Second Quarter 2007
The Housing Market - Renewed Concern
Economists continue to be concerned about the potential impact of the housing downturn on the economy. Overall growth
in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined sharply during the first quarter to an annual rate of only 0.7%, down from 2.5%
in the fourth quarter of 2006. Investment in residential housing continued to contract, down 15.8% for the quarter. This
decline was offset by continued strong personal consumption which grew at 4.2%. Since consumption expenditures
represent 70% of GDP, the current concern is that a small decrease in consumption growth could push the economy into
decline. While consumption growth has been remarkably resilient, it is also more closely linked to the fortunes of the
housing market than in the past. .
Several new features of the housing market have deepened the link between housing and consumption. First, borrowing
against appreciating home values doubled from 2000 to 2005, giving homeowners the ability to convert home equity to
increased current consumption. Also, during the boom, rapid growth in nontraditional mortgage products allowed
homeowners to cope with rising home prices by lowering initial payments in exchange for adjustable payments in the
future, thus freeing up some income for continued consumption. A portion of this mortgage growth was due to increased
sales to customers with weaker than average credit histories, the "subprime market". The subprime part of the mortgage
market was also characterized by weaker than normal underwriting standards.
As the housing boom shifted to bust, home prices began to depreciate in many areas and mortgage interest rates now have
risen steeply from their 2004 low point (5.55% in March 2004 versus 6.72% in June 2007). Less home value appreciation
means fewer homeowners can "cash out" equity to pay for purchases. Higher mortgage interest rates mean adjustable
mortgages are now resetting to higher interest rates, thus forcing homeowners to divert increasing portions of their incomes
to making monthly mortgage payments - and not current consumption. Not all homeowners are able to make it work,
especially in the subprime portion of the market, and foreclosures are increasing rapidly.
The response to lending excesses and increased mortgage default rates has been to tighten credit standards. This step, while
necessary, further reduces demand for home loans and will prolong the housing downturn. There is also a personal
consumption consequence of tighter credit standards. It is now more difficult and costly for homeowners in difficulty to
either refinance or sell their home. As a result, increasing monthly payments will begin to take an increasing share of
monthly income. Fortunately, the major impacts of credit tightening have been contained within the nontraditional and
subprime loan markets, as credit still remains readily available for prime customers.
As a key participant in the housing boom, Loudoun County is now experiencing a sustained housing correction with
reduced home sales and prices. Fortunately, Loudoun has not seen the levels of subprime lending found nationally.
Subprime loans made up only 12.5% of mortgage loans in Loudoun in 2005 compared to 22.5% in the U.S. The defaults of
subprime loans made during 2004 through 2006 are forecasted to peak in late 2007 and begin to taper off during 2008.
This forecast is based on the fact that low initial interest rates for adjustable rate subprime mortgages often reset to higher
"market rates" within two years of the loan origination date.
Although Loudoun County has yet to see indications of an overall consumption slowdown, it is now experiencing the direct
impacts from the housing downturn. These include an 11 % decrease in average housing unit sale price between the first
quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, as well a 31 % reduction ($4.8 million) in recordation tax revenue and a 36%
reduction ($2.8 million) in residential building permit revenue through May of this fiscal year. However the overall
strength of the local economy (unemployment close to 2%), along with less dependence on subprime loans has so far muted
the spillover into other areas of the local economy. The economic risk is that consumption declines significantly and
reduces overall GDP. Should this happen, Loudoun would feel a broader impact. Fortunately, before the end of 2008,
subprirne defaults should begin to decrease and the threats to consumption growth from this source will dissipate. The
balance of2007 will continue to be a period of heightened concern over retail sales, credit availability and interest rates.

Recent Trend: DECREASING
Growth in total U,S. output decelerated to 0,7%
in the first quarter of 2007, down from 2,5% in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Consumer spending was
the leading positive contributer, growing at 4,2%,
Housing investment contracted at a 15,8% rate,
Recent Trend: INCREASING
Inflation has picked back up since January 2007
and now is a bit above the 1 %-2% Federal
Reserve target range, Gasoline prices have
moved up again, The overall price index was
2,8% higher in March 2007 than it was in March
2006.
Recent Trend: INCREASING
Retail sales have rebounded a bit in March, but
have remained below the longer term average
growth rate since mid 2006, March 2007 sales
were 2,6% above March 2006, even with higher
gasoline prices pulling discretionary income out
of consumers' pockets,
Recent Trend: INCREASING
The average unemployment duration increased
to 17,3 weeks in March 2007, although it is still
near three year lows, The labor market is still
tight, although loosening, and has not yet relaxed
enough to allay Federal Reserve inflation
concerns.
Jan-07
Recent Trend: DECREASING
Consumer sentiment has weakened since the
first of the year, losing 10% through the April
survey compared to the two year high in January,
Increasing gasoline prices were accompanied by
higher wages, but these data suggest consumer
expenditures may decline in 2007, The -7,6%
year-on-year April vehicle sales is an early sign of
such a change,
Recent Trend: DECREASING
Interest rates for Moody's MA corporate, as well
as state and local bonds resumed their downward
trend since January 2007, The prime rate
continued to remain steady as the Federal
Reserve maintains its inflation watch in the face
of declining overall growth,

Recent Trend: UNCLEAR
The U,S. labor market remained tight, as the
unemployment rate has hovered around 4.5% in
recent months, Regional and local unemployment
rates were held to 3,0% and 2.2% respectively in
March, The region has an exceptionally tight
labor market which may prompt business to hold
on to workers as long as possible.
Recent Trend: INCREASING
Loudoun continued to outpace both the U,S. and
regional economy, growing at a 2.6% rate through
the third quarter quarter of 2006, compared to
1,1 % and 1,5% for the region and U,S,
respectively, The rate of growth has continued to
decelerate,
Recent Trend: DECREASING
Loudoun building permits have shown a steep
drop, as the first quarter 2007 fell 43% below first
quarter 2006. Regional and national permits also
continued their decline as the housing correction
continues, Substantial recovery is unlikely until
2008 or 2009.
Jan-07
Jan-07
Recent Trend: UNCLEAR
The U,S. Leading Indicator has decreased in two
out of the past three months through March. This
weakness suggests some uncertainty regarding
future growth for the immediate future, The
Washington Leading Index has now risen for the
past three consequtive months ending in
Feburary, This suggests that the region is still
capable of growth in the near term.
Recent Trend: UNCLEAR
National average weekly wages held steady
during the third quarter of 2006, In Loudoun,
wages were nearly steady at -$29 per week, This
small change hid a large decrease in information
sector wages, which was offset by increased
insurance wages, Hospitality also experienced a
normal seasonal wage decline,
Recent Trend: INCREASING
Loudoun's office vacancy rates increased to
12,2% during the first quarter of 2007 as 1.8
million additional sq. feet of space was added to
the market since first quarter 2006, Vacancy
rates for Industrial/Flex space edged up to 14,0%,

New Home Sales Prices
The median sales prices of new single family homes
sold during the first eight months of 2007 was
$985,450, an increase of 5,0 percent compared to
the 2006 median of $938,768,
The sales price of new townhomes has remained
relatively flat, increasing a slight 0,2 percent to
$565,371 over the 2006 median of $564,440. For
data regarding all condominium sales prices, refer
to the "Existing Home Sales Volume" section,
Page 4
Changes in selling prices, coupled with the volume of
sales, are generally considered reasonable
indicators of the County's real estate market.
Median selling price increases do not translate
directly into assessment adjustments, however, since
the mix of homes sold is not necessarily reflective of
the County's entire housing stock. Changes in
median selling prices are comparisons to the prices
of homes sold during the prior year, and the type of
homes sold (i.e" model, size, age, location, etc.)
varies from one year to the next. The key factor in
real estate assessments is not the change. in the
median sale price, but the relationship of
assessments to selling prices within neighborhoods,

I was very disturbed recently to read about the consultants current
recommendations about the Eastern Connector. I proposed my first alignment for the new
Eastern Connectore six or seven years ago, but that alignment has been virtually built
over.
I say new Eastern Connector because there was an Eastern Connector in the Long
Range Plan from the early 1970's. It was proposed by Mr. Huja, who is now on City
Council. Sometime in the early 1980's it was removed from the Long Range Plan. There
does not seem to be any documentation as to why, when or how it was removed, but my
guess is that it is just another example of something happening without any public input
and, most likely, without a public hearing. Shortly after that, two parks sprang up over
that alignment.
I e-mailed this idea to county staff in written form after the last public meeting on
the Eastern Connector, but this is the first time I have committed this idea to paper. It
starts opposite State Farm Blvd. on 250 East and hugs the edge of the growth area until it
reaches Rt. 20. There is absolutely no reason a road cannot be the edge of a growth area,
even if some of it is in the rural area. It works very well in Crozet.
The alignment crosses RT. 20 at Dorrier Dr. just like Alternative 3, but then
crosses the river diagonally at the least objectional location between the Meadowcreek
Golf Course and Darden Towe Park to the city's old wastewater treatment plant site,
hugging the southern edge ofthe golf course and then traverses a ravine just south of the
Catholic School to East Rio Rd. As far as I can determine it would only require the
purchase of one house.
This is not a short route or a cheap road to build, but it is doable. I get very
frustrated when some of you throw up your hands and say, "There'll never be enough
money to build this". We have been waiting for almost 40 years for the Meadowcreek
Parkway to get built, but its about to happen. If you consider the Eastern connector as an
extension of East Rio Rd., then it should qualifY for primary road funds. I don't care ifit
takes another 40 years to get an Eastern Connector built, the public deserves this road.
Alternatives 1 and 2 will eventually need to be built, but thay do very little to aleviate
traffic conjestion on the 250 Bypass. My alignment, I believe, could take as much as 50%
of the traffic off the 250 Bypass, so I implore this Board to remove the "No Build" option
from the table and reserve a right-of-way, any right-of-way now. We are not judged by
how little we dream, but by how well we prevail.

BACKGROUND:
The Code of Virginia S 15.2-2507 stipulates that any locality may amend its budget to adjust the aggregate amount to be
appropriated during the fiscal year as shown in the currently adopted budget. However, any such amendment which
exceeds one percent of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget must be accomplished by first
publishing a notice of a meeting and holding a public hearing before amending the budget. The Code section applies to all
County funds, i.e., General Fund, Capital Funds, E911, School Self-Sustaining, etc.
The total of this requested FY 2008 appropriation is $254,300.22. A budget amendment public hearing is not required
because the cumulative appropriations will not exceed one percent of the currently adopted budget.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 5. Develop a comprehensive funding strategy/plan to address the County's growing needs
DISCUSSION:
This request involves the approval of five (5) new FY 2008 appropriations as follows:
. One (1) appropriation (#2008055) distributing $79,000.00 in salary contingencies to departments based on current
salary projections;
. One (1) appropriation (#2008056) providing $32,631.21 from the General Fund Balance to the Voter Registrar's
Office to fund unanticipated one-time expenses relating to the November 2007 election and moving of Voter
Registration offices to COB 5th Street;
. One (1) appropriation (#2008057) totaling $5,000.00 for a Police Department grant;
. One (1) appropriation (#2008058) totaling $123,633.00 for the second Bright Stars Classroom at Cale Elementary
School; and
. One (1) appropriation (#2008059) in the amount of $93,036.01 for various School donations, programs, and
grants.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the approval of the budget amendment in the amount of $254,300.22 and the approval of the FY 2008
Appropriations #2008055, #2008056, #2008057, #2008058, and #2008059.

Merit and Salary Contingencies $ 79,000.00
The FY2008 budget appropriated merit pool and reclassification contingencies to be distributed to individual
departments after the July 1 merit calculations had been performed and any position reclassifications were
completed. This request allocates $79,000.00 from the contingencies to the appropriate departments based on
actual salary adjustments and anticipated department salary projections.
Appropriation #2008056
$ 32.631.21

$ 32,631.21
The Voter Registration Department moved from its former location at the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles
(DMV) building on Pantops Mountain to the County Office Building - 5th Street in September 2007. This move
was necessitated due to a reduction in available space for the department in the DMV building that significantly
reduced the ability of the registrar to conduct in-person absentee voting. As a result of the move, $31,444.41 in
one-time expenses associated with moving and equipping the new offices at COB 5th Street were incurred.
This amount is proposed to be funded from the General Fund Balance.
As a result of an event scheduled at the John Paul Jones Arena on the day of the November 2007 election, a
special notice was mailed to all registered voters in the U-Hall voter precinct advising of anticipated heavy traffic
around the polling place. The mailing resulted in $1,186.80 in additional, unanticipated one-time expense for
the Voter Registration Department. This amount is proposed to be funded from the General Fund Balance.
Appropriation #2008057

The Albemarle County Department of Social Services has received a grant award from the Virginia Department
of Education's Pre-School Pilot Initiative for FY 2008. This initiative, which enabled a second Bright Stars
classroom at Cale Elementary, was detailed to the Board on June 13, 2007. At that time, the grant award was
anticipated to be $80,312.00 and required an anticipated $32,000.00 match from local government funds. The
Board approved the use of FY 06/07 expenditure savings (which is now part of the General Fund Balance) to
fund the anticipated local match. The grant was subsequently awarded and provides $84,500.00 in grant
funding for this second classroom. The local match totals $39,133.00, of which $7,048.00 will be provided from
the School Division and $32,085.00 from the General Fund Balance.

RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, current zoning regulations limit the height of poles for athletic facility lighting to the
maximum height allowed for structures in the applicable zoning district; and
WHEREAS, in order to safely light an athletic facility, outdoor luminaires must provide sufficient
illumination to all parts of the field or court and, to do so, the luminaires must be placed high enough over

allow outdoor luminaires to be placed high enough over an athletic facility to provide safe illumination; and
WHEREAS, in order to meet dark skies ordinances and to assure that athletic facilities are safely
illuminated, it is desired to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow poles for athletic facility lighting to be
taller than the height otherwise allowed in the applicable zoning district, provided that the Planning
Commission grants a waiver of the zoning district's height limitation on a case-by-case basis and
authorizes the poles to be erected at a height determined to be necessary to safely illuminate the athletic
facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience,

REVIEWED BY:

BACKGROUND:
In the RA, VR, R-1, R-2, R-4 and R-6 zoning districts, structures cannot exceed 35 feet in height. In the R-10, R-15,
and the commercial and industrial zoning districts, structures cannot exceed 65 feet in height. Zoning Ordinance S
4.10.3 provides exceptions to the district height limitations for structures such as transmission towers, television and
radio towers, flag poles, steeples and several other classes of structures. Poles for athletic facility lighting are not
among the classes of structures excepted from the district height limitations.
In an official determination dated June 9, 2006, Zoning staff confirmed that poles for athletic facility lighting do not fall
within one of the classes of excepted structures, and that they are subject to the height limitation allowed in the
applicable zoning district. Prior to this determination, the Planning Commission had approved modifications under
Zoning Ordinance S 4.17.5 to allow athletic facility lighting on poles that exceeded the district height limitations for St.
Anne's Belfield School, Western Albemarle High School, Monticello High School and Brownsville Elementary School.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 1 : Enhance the quality of life for all citizens.
Goal 3: Develop policies and infrastructure improvements to address the County's growing needs,
DISCUSSION:
In order to safely light an athletic facility, the lighting system must provide sufficient illumination to all parts of the field
or court and, to do so, the luminaires must be placed high enough over the athletic facility to provide the illumination.
The 35- and 65-foot height limitations in the zoning district regulations do not, for most all sports, allow the luminaires
to be placed high enough over an athletic facility to provide safe illumination.
In order to assure that athletic facilities are safely illuminated, staff recommends that the Zoning Ordinance be
amended to allow poles for athletic facility lighting to be taller than the height otherwise allowed in the applicable
zoning district. Rather than completely exempting these poles from regulation, Staff recommends that the Planning
Commission be authorized to waive the zoning district's height limitation on a case-by-case basis and allow poles to be
erected at a height determined to be necessary to safely illuminate the athletic facility, based on recognized standards
of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
BUDGET IMPACT:
This amendment will reduce staff time that would otherwise be spent reviewing these variances.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached resolution of intent.

RE: Official Determination of Process to Modify Height of Light Poles
Dear Mr. von Storch:
You have asked if the planning commission may modify the height limitations of the
Rural Areas zoning district to allow light poles that exceed 35 feet. It is my determination
that light poles are not exempt from height limitations, that luminaires are separate from
the poles upon which they are mounted and that the planning commission may only
modify the luminaire used for sports lighting. A modification of pole height requires a
variance. I have consulted Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning, Greg Kamptner,
Deputy County Attorney, Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator and Webster's New
Collegiate Dictionary.
1. Light poles are structures that are not exempt from height limitations.
A lighting pole is a structure. A structure is subject to the area and bulk regulations of
the zoning district in which it is located. Section 4.10.3.1 lists certain structures that are
exempt from height limitations. Ught poles are not on the list. Therefore, the
modification of the height limit for structures set forth in the area and bulk regulations of
a district requires a variance.
3.1 DEFINITIONS
Structure: Anything constructed or erected, the use of which requires permanent location
on the ground, or attachment to something having a permanent location on the ground.
This includes, among other things, dwellings, buildings, etc. For the purpose of the
determination of setback, signs shall be excluded as a structure. (Amended 7-8-92)
10.4 AREA AND BULK REGULATIONS
Maximum structure height 35 feet

4.10.3.1 EXCEPTIONS--EXCLUDED FROM APPLICATION
The structures idemitied below shall be subject to height limitations as follows:
a. The height limitations of this chapter shall not apply to barns, silos, farm buildings,
agricultural museums designed to appear as traditional farm buildings, residential
chimneys, spires, flag poles, monuments, transmission towers and cables, smokestacks,
water tanks, or radio or television antennas or towers.
2. Luminaires are separate from the potes upon which they are mounted.
Section 4.17.3 defines luminaire as, "a complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp or
lamps together with the components designed to distribute the light, to position and
protect the lamps and to connect the lamps to the power supply. A luminaire is also
commonly referred to as a fixture."
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1980, defines fixture as something that
is fixed or attached (as to a building) as a permanent appendage or as a structural part
(a fluorescent lighting fixture or a plumbing fixture).
The term "components designed to distribute the light" in the zoning definition does not
serve to include the pole as part of the luminaire or fixture. Rather, the components
designed to distribute the light refers to the lamp, lenses reflectors and the like.
The term "to position" in the zoning definition does not serve to include the pOle as part
of the luminaire or fixture. Rather, to position refers to the components that attach the
luminaire to the pole and aim the light that emanates from it.
3. The planning commission may only modify the luminaire used for sports
lighting.
Section 4.17.4.a requires that each luminaire subject to these regulations shall be full
cutoff.
Section 4.17.5.a.2 allows the planning commission to waive any standard of 4.17.4.a for
athletic lighting based on accepted standards. This section only allows modification of
full cut off aspect of the luminaire. This section makes no specific reference to poles or
other elements of the lighting system. This section does make reference to "system of
luminaires." We find that this term refers an array of luminaires used for the lighting of a
field. We do not find that the system of luminaires includes the poles. The referenced
ordinance sections are provided below.
4.17.4 STANDARDS
The following standards shall apply to each outdoor luminaire:

a. Except as provided in section 4.17.6, each outdoor luminaire subject to these outdoor
lighting regulations shall be a full cutoff luminaire. (Amended 10-17-0 I)
4.17.5 MODIFICATION OR WAIVER
Any standard of section 4.17.4.a may be modified or waived in an individual case, as
provided herein: (Amended 10.17.01)
a. The commission may modify or waive any standard set forth in section 4.17.4.a in an
individual case, and the commission may impose conditions on such a modification or
waiver whkh it deems appropriate to further the purposes of these outdoor lighting
regulations, in either of the following circumstances: (Amended 10-17-01)
1. Upon finding that strict application of the standard would not forward the purposes of
this chapter or otherwise serve the public health, safety or \velfare, or that alternatives
proposed by the owner would satisfy the purposes of these outdoor lighting regulations at
least to an equivalent degree.
2. Upon finding that an outdoor luminaire, or system of outdoor luminaires, required for
an athletic facility cannot reasonably comply with the standard and provide sufficient
illumination of the facility for its safe use, as determined by recommended practices
adopted by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America for that type of
facility and activity or other evidence if a recommended practice is not applicable.
(Amended 10-17-0 I)

the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final
and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator
and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal which specifies the grounds for the
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of $120.

RESOLUTION OF INTENT
WHEREAS, current zoning regulations limit the height of poles for athletic facility lighting to the
maximum height allowed for structures in the applicable zoning district; and
WHEREAS, in order to safely light an athletic facility, outdoor luminaires must provide sufficient
illumination to all parts of the field or court and, to do so, the luminaires must be placed high enough over the
athletic facility to provide such illumination; and
WHEREAS, in most if not all zoning districts, the maximum height allowed for structures does not
allow outdoor luminaires to be placed high enough over an athletic facility to provide safe illumination; and
WHEREAS, in order to assure that athletic facilities are safely illuminated, it is desired to amend the
Zoning Ordinance to allow poles for athletic facility lighting to be taller than the height otherwise allowed in the
applicable zoning district, provided that the Planning Commission grants a waiver ofthe zoning district's height
limitation on a case-by-case basis and authorizes the poles to be erected at a height determined to be necessary to
safely illuminate the athletic facility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT for purposes of public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good land development practices, the Board of Supervisors hereby adopts a resolution of
intent to amend Zoning Ordinance SS 4.10.3.2, 4.17.5 and any other regulations of the Zoning Ordinance
deemed appropriate to achieve the purposes described herein.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the
zoning text amendment proposed by this resolution of intent, and make its recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors, at the earliest possible date.

Amendment of Regional Boundary for Solid Waste Planning
Nelson County has requested withdrawal from the Thomas Jefferson Solid Waste
Planning Region, which also includes the Counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, and
Greene, the City of Charlottesville, and the Towns of Scottsville, Columbia, and
Stanardsville. The request comes as a result of Nelson County's decision to join
the Region 2000 Services Authority, which will afford the County access to less
expensive waste disposal options. Nelson County has the option to continue
participating with other localities in special waste events or recycling efforts, and
has requested to do so, including the Household Hazardous Waste Events at the
Ivy Materials Utilization Facility and the semi-annual meetings ofthe Solid Waste
Management Plan Committee, which often focus on ways to improve recycling
rates.
Section 9 V AC 20-130-220 ofthe Solid Waste Planning and Recycling
Regulations, Amendment 2, states that "The director may amend a solid waste
planning unit's boundary based on an application from the governing body or
bodies of the solid waste planning unit. Along with the application each locality
(within the original region and any locality being added) must submit a letter
acknowledging the change in the boundary." In order to simplify meeting this
requirement for the localities in our region, a form has been attached that you may
sign and return to acknowledge the change. Please respond by April 15, 2008.

SUBJECT/PROPOSALlREQUEST:
Authorize the County Executive to execute Inter-
governmental Agreement with Virginia Department
of Agriculture and Consumer Services establishing
the responsibilities of the parties under the grant
CONSENT AGENDA:
ACTION: X

REVIEWED BY:

Messrs. Tucker, Foley, Davis, Kamptner, Cilimberg,
and Goodall
ATTACHMENTS: Yes
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
Clayton Farm, a 228.50 acre property adjoining both Route 240 and the Beaver C ek Reservoir near Crozet, is a working
farm for which the Board accepted the owner's offer to sell an easement under the County's ACE Program for
$1,315,000.00 at its March 5, 2008 meeting. The County has been awarded a grant of $403,219.75 in state matching
funds from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' ("VDACS") Office of Farmland Preservation
under a program established by the General Assembly in 2007 to provide funds for the preservation of working farms and
forest lands.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 4: Effectively Manage the County's Growth and Development
DISCUSSION:
VDACS has requested that the County enter into the Intergovernmental Agreement (the "Agreement") as a condition of
receiving the grant funding. The key provisions of the Agreement are summarized below.
The Agreement would obligate VDACS to set aside the grant amount in an account, and reimburse the County for its
reimbursable costs in the purchase of the Clayton Farm easement. For Clayton Farm, the purchase price will consume
all of the reimbursable costs. The Agreement also would require VDACS concurrence if Clayton Farm was ever
converted or diverted from open-space use and entitle VDACS to reimbursement of its pro rata share of the purchase
price if conversion or diversion ever occurred. Conversion or diversion of land is permitted under the Open-Space Land
Act in limited circumstances and would also require the concurrence of the County and the Public Recreational Facilities
Authority, and require that substitute land of equal or greater value and quality be placed under an open-space easement.
The Agreement would obligate the County to appropriate funds equal to the grant amount for the purchase of the Clayton
Farm easement, apply the grant funds to the purchase of the easement, provide VDACS with annual progress reports
describing the County's efforts to obtain easements on other working farms, and its programs for public outreach,
stewardship and monitoring, and measuring the effectiveness of the County's efforts to bring working farms under
easement. The Agreement also requires the County to maintain sufficient title insurance for the Clayton Farm easement,
a standard County practice, to allow VDACS the opportunity to review easement instruments and the title insurance
policy, to receive copies of the recorded easement instrument, to provide notice to VDACS if the County receives an
application to convert or divert Clayton Farm from its permitted easement uses, and to enforce the terms and conditions
of the deed of easement.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The County's execution of the Intergovernmental Agreement will allow the County to receiving $403,219.75 in state funding
to apply to the ACE program.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board authorize the County Executive to execute the Agreement on behalf of the County,
provided that it is first approved as to form and content by the County Attorney.

(collectively, "the parties") to provide mutually advantageous terms for cooperation between VDACS and Albemarle
County to implement VDACS' contribution of funds during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 in support of Albemarle
County's purchase of agricultural conservation easements.
WHEREAS, the General Assembly, by Chapter 847 of the 2007 Acts of Assembly, has appropriated $4.25 million to
VDACS for the establishment of a state fund to match local government purchase of development rights program

WHEREAS, ~ 3.1-18.10 of the Code of Virginia authorizes VDACS' Office of Farmland Preservation to develop
methods and sources of revenue for allocating funds to localities to purchase agricultural conservation easements; and,
WHEREAS, for all purposes of this INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT, the term "agricultural conservation
easement" shall mean a negative easement that has the primary conservation purpose of preserving working farm and/or
forest land; and,
WHEREAS, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors has enacted an ordinance or passed a resolution that: authorizes,
in accordance with Title 10.1, Chapter 17 of the Code of Virginia ("the Open-Space Land Act") and other applicable law,
Albemarle County to purchase agricultural conservation easements from landowners (each hereinafter called "Grantor");
sets forth a clear, consistent, and equitable administrative process governing such purchases; and outlines the goals and
purposes of Albemarle County's farmland preservation program; and,
WHEREAS, Albemarle County has agreed to maintain a public outreach program designed to educate various
stakeholders in Albemarle County -including farmers, landowners, public officials, and the non-farming public-about
Albemarle County's initiatives to preserve working farms and forest lands; and,
WHEREAS, Albemarle County has agreed to establish a transparent and replicable process for valuation of agricultural
conservation easements; and,
WHEREAS, the purchase of agricultural conservation easements is one component of Albemarle County's broader
farmland preservation program; and,

rNTERGOVERNMENT AL AGREEMENT, shaH be defined as foHows:
1. VDACS Responsibilities
a. VDACS shall, within thirty (30) days of the date of execution of this INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT, restrict $403,219.75 (hereinafter "the allocation amount') in an account, from which
VDACS shall withdraw funds only to pay contributions of funds that Albemarle County is eligible to
receive pursuant to this INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT, except that upon the expiration of
two (2) years from the date of this INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT, or immediately upon
Albemarle County's failure to perform any of its obligations under the terms of this
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT, VDACS shall have the right to withdraw any funds then
remaining in such account and the right to redirect those funds to other localities that VDACS certifies as
being eligible to receive matching funds and that enter into an intergovernmental agreement with VDACS
to govern the distribution of matching funds for the purchase of agricultural conservation easements.
b. Upon Albemarle County's recordation of a deed evidencing Albemarle County's purchase of an
agricultural conservation easement in the circuit court of the city or county where the Grantor's land is
located and Albemarle County's submission to VDACS of a completed claim for reimbursement, on a
form prescribed by VDACS, together with the supporting documentation required under paragraph 2(e) of
this INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT, VDACS shall reimburse Albemarle County fifty percent
(50%) of the reimbursable costs that Albemarle County actually incurred in the course of purchasing that
agricultural conservation easement, limited to that portion of the aHocation amount remaining in the
account maintained by VDACS pursuant to paragraph I (a) of this INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT. VDACS may make alternative arrangements for the distribution of funds pursuant to this
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT, provided Albemarle County presents a written request for
such alternative arrangement to the Commissioner ofVDACS or the Commissioner's designated agent
(referred coHectively hereinafter as "the Grant Manager") prior to incurring any expense for which
Albemarle County seeks a distribution of funds under the proposed alternative arrangement.
For purposes of this INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT, "reimbursable costs" include:
1. The purchase price of the agricultural conservation easement, at present value, including
any portion that Albemarle County will pay over time pursuant to an installment purchase
agreement;
2. The cost of title insurance;
3. The cost of one appraisal ofthe land upon which Albemarle County purchases an
agricultural conservation easement;
2
4. The cost of one survey of the physical boundaries of the land upon which Albemarle
County purchases an agricultural conservation easement, but not the cost of producing a
baseline report ofthe conditions existing on the land at the time of the conveyance of the
agricultural conservation easement;
5. Reasonable attorney fees associated with the purchase of an agricultural conservation
easement; and
6. The cost of issuing public hearing notices associated with Albemarle County's purchase of
an agricultural conservation easement that Albemarle County is required by law to issue.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT for reimbursable costs that Albemarle County actually incurs
in the course of purchasing an agricultural conservation easement when Albemarle County acquires, by
such purchase, a deed of easement that, at a minimum, provides:
1. The primary conservation purpose of the easement conveyed by the deed of easement is the
conservation of the land for agricultural and/or forestal uses.
2. The Grantor and Albemarle County agree that the land subject to the agricultural
conservation easement shall not be converted or diverted, as the Open-Space Land Act
employs those terms, until and unless the Grant Manager, with the concurrence of
Albemarle County or an assignee of Albemarle County's interest in the agricultural
conservation easement, certifies that such conversion or diversion satisfies the requirements
of the Open-Space Land Act.
3. The Grantor and Albemarle County agree that, in the event of an extinguishment of the
restrictions of the agricultural conservation easement that results in the receipt of monetary
proceeds by Albemarle County or an assignee of Albemarle County's interest in an
agricultural conservation easement in compensation for the loss of such property interest,
VDACS shall be entitled to a share of those proceeds proportional to VDACS's
contribution toward the total reimbursable cost of acquiring the agricultural conservation
easement.
4. If the Grantor conveys the agricultural conservation easement for less than its fair market
value, the Grantor and Albemarle County mutually acknowledge that approval of the terms
of this Deed of Easement by VDACS and/or its legal counsel does not constitute a warranty
or other representation as to the Grantor's qualification for any exemption, deduction, or
credit against the Grantor's liability for the payment of any taxes under any provision of
federal or state law.
5. All mortgagors and other holders of liens on the property subject to the restrictions
contained in the deed of easement have subordinated their respective liens to the
restrictions ofthe deed of easement acquired by Albemarle County. All such mortgagors
and other holders ofliens shall manifest their assent to the easement's priority over their
respective liens by endorsing the deed of easement.

Messrs. Tucker, Foley, Davis, Letteri, Kelsey
REVIEWED BY:
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
The Historic Crozet Streetscape Enhancement project was envisioned by the Crozet Master Plan as an essential step in
achieving the goals for Downtown Crozet, which includes:
· Improving pedestrian connectivity within the Downtown and providing a pedestrian-friendly environment;
· Improving the street corridor for all of its users (including vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles);
· Designing the initial portion of the New Main Street so that the New Library can be designed (includes building
this portion of Main St. to provide access to the Library parking);
· Aesthetically enhancing this entry way and main thoroughfare of Downtown Crozet with sidewalks, street
lighting, landscaping, street furniture & accessories (bike racks, benches, etc.);
· Providing increased vitality and economic benefit to Downtown business owners; and
· Providing environmentally sensitive solutions to stormwater management.
The component of the Streetscape Enhancement Project that is key to the project sequencing is the removal of the
overhead utility lines and poles from the Crozet Avenue corridor prior to the construction of the streetscape improvements.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 1: Enhance the Quality of Life for all Albemarle County Residents.
Goal 3: Develop Policies and Infrastructure Improvements to Address the County's Growing Needs
DISCUSSION:
Both sides of Crozet Avenue are lined with utility poles with overhead wires running parallel and across the street corridor.
These poles are also located within areas of proposed street improvements or sidewalks and will need to be buried
underground or relocated to parallel streets. Early in the budget and feasibility process for the Streetscape Enhancement
Project it was realized that placing Dominion Power's "primary" overhead electric line underground was financially
unfeasible. Relocation of this overhead line to a parallel street, which provided a significant cost savings, was the prudent
option. Staff and Southeastern Consulting have worked with Dominion Power to develop a plan (Attachment A) to relocate
the "primary" line east of Crozet Avenue. This plan begins by relocating the existing CSX Railroad overhead wire crossing
to an existing pole near the entrance to the IGA on Route 240. The new "primary" line would then traverse Barnes Lumber
and extend down High Street using the existing power poles. It will turn west at Tabor Street and follow the north side of
Tabor Street to the existing "primary" line on Crozet Avenue (south of Jarmans Gap Road). New poles will be necessary
along the north side of Tabor Street and a few trees removed, but this alignment will preserve the wooded area along the
south side of the street. "Secondary" lines will be extended along existing poles to Carter Street (west side) and the
southern end of the Alley (east side). From these locations, underground electric lines will be extended to serve the
existing buildings.
AGENDA TITLE: Historic Crozet Streetscape Enhancement Project - Phase 2
April 2, 2008
Page 2
Dominion Power requires that the County enter into an agreement to reimburse it for the actual cost of the relocation
(Attachment B), The current cost estimate is $307,563,68. The County Attorney recommends that the proposed
agreement be modified to specify that 1) the costs shall not exceed the estimate; 2) the reimbursable costs be itemized;
and 3) no costs be incurred until all necessary easements have been obtained or the County otherwise directs Dominion
Power to proceed.
Dominion Power is requesting that the County be responsible for securing all the easements that Dominion Power needs
for the relocation. Dominion Power has provided the easement documents and staff has begun discussions with some of
the property owners. The County is making a significant investment into enhancing and vitalizing this entry way into
Downtown Crozet and the various stakeholders have been involved and supportive through the process. Staff is optimistic
property owners will agree to grant the Dominion Power easements. If any property owners refuse to grant the easement,
this Project will have to be reevaluated before it can proceed.
Dominion Power will coordinate the relocation of utilities with the other overhead utility owners (cable, telephone) within the
Crozet Avenue corridor. Each utility company will estimate its cost to follow the Dominion Power relocation. Agreements
for the County to reimburse relocation costs for each of these utility companies will also be required. These relocation
agreements will be brought to the Board at a later date.
BUDGET IMPACT:
This project is being funded through the Capital Improvements Plan, with partial funding coming from a VDOT
Transportation Enhancement Grant. A line item, budget code and budget estimate of $600,000 have been specifically
assigned to this portion of the project.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff requests that the Board of Supervisor authorize the County Executive to sign the Dominion Power agreement for the
relocation of utility lines on Crozet Avenue in a form approved by the County Attorney.

RE: Relocating Overhead Power line from Crozet Ave.
Dear Mr. Kelsey
The COWlty of Albemarle requested a plan and estimate to remove Dominion Virginia
Power's existing overhead facilities along Crozet A venue between the Railroad tracks
and Jarmans Gap Road. We designed this project with the following considerations.
. The COWlty will be responsible for negotiating and securing all of the required
right-of-way easements, which will be prepared by Dominion Virginia Power.
. The County will be responsible for changing all affected overhead service wires
to underground and/or bringing customer's wires to a splice box in the alley.
. All existing overhead streetlights will be removed
. Electrical service to the two homes on the proposed library site will be removed.
. The proposed Railroad Crossing is approved by CSX.
The estimated cost for this project is $307,563.68 and will be performed onan actual cost
basis with [mal'billing rendered upon completion of the work. If the County of
Albemarle desires Dominion Virginia Power to proceed with the work, please have an
authorized representative of the COlmty provide Authorization to Proceed by completing
and executing the following. This cost is applicable for sixty days. Dominion Virginia
Power will not begin construction of this project Wltil the County has secured all
necessary easements.
Should you have any questions, please call me at 972-6731.
Sincerely,
j/6-l-a,
Jeffrey L. Carter
Lead Project Designer

BACKGROUND:
Albemarle County has an active digital government program encompassing a variety of initiative including an external
website, an internal intranet, Amail enews service and podcasting, among other items. The attached Annual Report
provides an overview of activity related to these initiatives for 2007.
Website Mission Statement:

people to conduct business with the County in ways that increase our accessibility and customer service and improve our
operational efficiency.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 1: Enhance the quality of life for all County residents.
DISCUSSION:
General statistics provide the best overall picture of website usage. The following statistics show the year-to-year
comparisons of 1 ) page visits, which indicate the number of times a user accesses the site and is the most critical indicator
of website usage; 2) page views, which indicate the number of hits to pages on the website; and 3) downloaded files, which
indicate how many documents are being downloaded by website users.
General Statistical Highlights:
. The average number of unique visits to website per day continues to increase significantly
. The average number of pages viewed within the website has decreased, which indicates that more people are
visiting the website but are visiting fewer pages searching for the information they need, perhaps by making
increasing use of bookmarks and shortcuts

VI. COURT ACTIONS
The following are court actions taken on the Board of Zoning Appeals in 2007:
1. Barry Schmidt v. Board of Zoninq Appeals: Petition for writ of certiorari filed in
Albemarle County Circuit Court challenging the decision of the Board of Zoning
Appeals that the mobile home on the property lost its nonconforming status. The
Circuit Court affirmed the decision of the Board. Schmidt filed a notice of appeal
to the Virginia Supreme Court. The Virginia Supreme Court denied his request to
have the Court consider his appeal.
2. Paul Beqin, et al. v. Board of Zoninq Appeals and Planned Parenthood: Petition
for writ of certiorari filed in Albemarle County Circuit Court challenging the
decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals that Planned Parenthood's use of the
property is a professional office use. The court has not yet issued a writ of
certiorari directing the Board of Zoning Appeals to file the record of its
proceedings, so the case has not proceeded and a trial date has not been set.
3. Scott W. and Caroline F. Watkins v. Board of Zoninq Appeals: Petition for writ of
certiorari filed in Albemarle County Circuit Court challenging the decision of the
Board of Zoning Appeals that the use of the property by Watkins & Co
Landscape Contracting constitutes a contractor's storage yard which is not a
permitted use in the Rural Areas District. The applicant is pursuing a different
location and is in the process of rezoning and site plan approval.

AGENDA TITLE:
Housing Choice Voucher Program Annual Plan

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD")
ACTION: X
INFORMATION:
CONSENT AGENDA:
ACTION:
INFORMATION:
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY:
STAFF CONTACT(S):
Messrs. Tucker, Elliott, Davis, and White
ATTACHMENTS: Yes
BACKGROUND:
The Albemarle County Office of Housing ("Office") is the designated local agency for the administration of the Housing
Choice Voucher Program ("Program"), formerly known as the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. The Office is
considered a part of the executive branch of local government and not a public housing authority. Although not a housing
authority, the Office must comply with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") requirements for
Public Housing Agency ("PHA") activities, including the development and implementation of annual and 5-Year PHA Plans.
In 2005, the Office obtained HUD approval for its current 5-Year Plan and has also received approval from this federal
agency for its annual FY2005-2007 plans. In accordance with HUD guidelines, the Office is required to prepare and
present it FY2008 plan at this time; however, prior to submission, the Plan must be made available for a 45-day public
review period and also be the subject of a public hearing.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Objective 1.2: By June 30, 2010, working in partnership with others, increase affordable housing opportunities for those
who work and/or live in Albemarle County.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to HUD guidelines, the County is authorized to administer a total of 429 vouchers through its Program which is
currently operating at approximately 95% of its authorized budget providing assistance to approximately 370 families.
Forty-six of the authorized vouchers have been designated as project-based vouchers that are designated to specific units
rather than individuals. Twenty-four of these vouchers are reserved for Park's Edge Apartments while twenty-two are
designated for Park View Apartments on South Pantops. In addition, up to twenty-nine project-based vouchers have been
committed to proposed developments at Treesdale Park (21) and Crozet Meadow (8).
HUD regulations allow a PHA to set aside a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of authorized vouchers as project-based.
Albemarle County previously set fifteen percent (15%) as the maximum with its allocations to Park's Edge and Park View
comprising 10.7% of total vouchers. With commitments for Treesdale and Crozet Meadows, the Office is allocating 17.5%
of its total to specific identified complexes/developments. It should be noted that the commitment of these twenty-nine
additional project-based vouchers is the only proposed change in the Annual Plan.
As required by HUD, the proposed FY08 Annual Plan (Attachment A) has been made available to a Resident Advisory
Board (RAB) consisting of families participating in the Program for review and comment. One member of the RAB has
responded with a request that more housing choices be made available. This input and any other input during the public
review period and public hearing will be considered in the final Annual Plan, as appropriate. The 45-day public review
period commenced on February 19, 2008.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There are no additional budget impacts beyond current FY08 and proposed FY09 appropriations for staffing and
operations of the Office of Housing. Administrative fees from HUD cover most of the operations for this Program.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that after the Board receives public comment on the proposed FY08 Annual Plan, it authorize the
Office of Housing to submit the FY08 Annual Plan to HUD and authorize the County Executive to execute the PHA

REVIEWED BY:

LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
In March 2006, the Board of Supervisors created the Crozet Community Advisory Council ("CCAC") in accordance with the
recommendations of the Crozet Master Plan, The 16-member Council was appointed by the Board to fulfill the following
duties/function:
The Crozet Community Advisory Council (CCAC) is an advisory committee that provides assistance to County staff and the
Board of Supervisors on civic/community issues related to implementation of the Crozet Master Plan in accordance with
established county procedures. Members will communicate with their constituencies to increase understanding of and
support for successful implementation of the Master Plan, The membership is broad-based to incorporate a variety of
perspectives and ideas and to provide citizens, businesspersons and representatives of active community groups a chance
to be engaged and be heard in a constructive and meaningful way.
When the Council was created, the Board established a two-year pilot period for the CCAC after which time the Board
planned to reexamine the mission and charge of the Council as well as its outcomes to date. In addition, the Board was to
decide the best way for the Council to continue, taking into account the experiences and recommendations of the CCAC
members and staff. The two-year pilot period ended in March 2008 and information regarding the role and success of the
Council is being presented to the Board for its consideration.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Objective 4.1 - By June 30, 2010, increase citizen satisfaction with the County's Development Areas by completing Master
Plans for all of the County's Development Areas.
DISCUSSION:
The CCAC has met monthly since its creation in March 2006, The first several meetings consisted of education and
familiarization with County policies and processes and orientation of Council members to Albemarle County's planning and
development philosophies. The Council selected a Chairman and Vice Chairman at its fourth meeting and began to
address more specific issues related to Crozet and to master plan implementation. A second slate of officers was elected
in 2007 in accordance with the Council's operating procedures.
In November, 2006, the Chairman of the CCAC presented to the Board a report on the Council's activities and
recommended revising the original list of Action Items to a more manageable List of Responsibilities, which the Board
supported.
A complete list of activities/achievements of the Council during its two-year tenure is attached (Attachment A). Since 2006,
the CCAC has served a critical role as a liaison between the Crozet community and County government as many efforts
related to master plan implementation have gotten underway, including the downtown zoning project, the new library,
Phases I and II of the streetscape project, stormwater management, the Western Park master plan and the reuse study for
the former Crozet Elementary School, among others. With the continuation of these projects, and other major future
initiatives, such as the five-year review of the Crozet Master Plan, the need for this strong and productive partnership
between the Crozet community and the County will continue to exist.
AGENDA TITLE: Crozet Community Advisory Council
April 2, 2008
Page 2
In preparing for the Board's discussion regarding the CCAC's future focus and direction, staff conducted a survey of
current CCAC members, a summary of which is attached for the Board's review (Attachment B). The survey results
indicate areas of consensus among members regarding areas of strengths and challenges for the Council as well as
critical priorities for future focus.
Based on the survey results and several subsequent discussions of CCAC members, staff recommends the following
proposal to the Board for its consideration:
Restructure the membership criteria as follows:
. Current members will be given the opportunity to leave the Council now, concluding their service to the CCAC after
a two year term. Those members who want to stay on the Council to serve a second term will be divided into a
group of one year terms and a group of two year terms to allow for continuity of existing members as new
members come on, Existing members who stay on for a second term of either one or two years would not be
eligible for a third consecutive term but could come back and apply for reappointment after not being on the
Council for a term.
. Members will be permitted to serve two consecutive terms, but then must rotate off for at least one term before
they can be reappointed. An exception to the two-term policy could be made for extenuating circumstances if
approved by a two-thirds majority of the CCAC, but that member would be permitted to serve only one additional
two-year term and would still be required to go through the regular application process with the Board of
Supervisors.
· The Council should be composed of 15 members, with preference given to maintaining a broad scope of interests
and perspectives and involving a variety of organizations and neighborhoods
Recommended actions:
· All current members should be formally invited to serve another term, and those who want to step down should
indicate that in writing/email
. Once the number of vacancies is determined, the Board should advertise and appoint new members to get to the
desired total of 15 members, keeping in mind the importance of appointing members who have some familiarity
with the Crozet community and the master plan
· Once the new Council is formed, new members will attend an orientation/Planning 101 training to familiarize them
with the Crozet Master Plan and basic land use planning strategies and policies
· Following the completion of Planning 101, the entire Council will attend an action planning retreat to identify major
priorities and activities for the coming 12 months
. Current members of the Council will continue serving until the new Council is appointed
· County staff will continue to provide support to the Council as outlined in the operating procedures
Staff believes that the Council has developed as an energetic and involved community group that serves as a critical
partner with County government in examining issues related to implementation of the Crozet Master Plan. As can be seen
by the list of activities underway in the Council's first two years, members have been actively engaged in a wide variety of
projects that depend on citizen involvement for their success, including the downtown zoning project, the streetscape
project, Western Park, and the library, Given the significant number of upcoming implementation issues as well as the five
year review of the Crozet Master Plan scheduled for 2009, staff recommends the continuation of the Council with its stated
mission and charge.
Current CCAC Chairman Mike Marshall will be present on April 2 to respond to any inquiries from the Board.
BUDGET IMPACT:
No budget impact is anticipated regarding this item.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept the recommendations of the Crozet Community Advisory Council
as outlined above, including membership terms and the development of a 12 month action plan that will be brought back to
the Board for its information and review at regular intervals,

. Somewhat effective: 4
. Somewhat ineffective:

7. What suggestions do you have for improving the CCAC's effectiveness in accomplishing
its purposes and responsibilities?
I think it would be helpful if more CCAC members spoke up at meetings. I think we found out
early that not many people wanted to work in between meetings, but I think that members should
stay current regarding Crozet issues so that everyone is fairly up to speed on issues being
addressed.
I answered that I thought the CCAC was only somewhat effective in insuring an effective
implementation of the Master Plan, as there is only so much that a citizen advisory committee can
do - so much is up to the County and the budget it can put towards improvements in the Crozet
area.
I think it would be good to have some new people on the committee at this time as well. I am
hoping that some of us can re-up with a one year commitment at this time. It seems a critical time
for most of the members to stay on, and see the downtown zoning issues through. However, I
don't know if! have the commitment to stay for another two years. I think it is also good to shake
up a committee with respect to its members.
While I think that the 'enhanced communication among Crozet stakeholders' is not exactly
what I had hoped, I do think that lately Crozetians are understanding that they can come to this
committee to add their input to Master Plan implementation issues that are affecting them.
. Continue to be a conduit for information gathering
. Continue to be facilitators in knowledge sharing
. Continue citizen and developer input/presentation
Need better dialog and inter-action with whole community. Perhaps a newsletter would help, or
regular column in Crozet Gazette. With copies of Minutes and Invitations to our open
meetings, Subcommittee work could have been better, Perhaps we should narrow focus of
CCAC; there was too much to cover. At times, like with Rezoning meetings and results, we were
blind-sided by final conclusions and recommendations. No excuse for to ever happen.
None, really, assuming Ms. Mallek and Mr. Loach (?) continue to attend our meetings, along with
the County personnel as they have to date, and the County continues to support the CCAC fully as
it has thus far.
. Make the public aware that they can attend the CCAC meetings. Make agendas
available to everyone in Crozet.
-2-
ATTACHMENT B
· Post minutes of CCAC meeting on Internet and in prominent location in Crozet.
NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE GO TO THE P.O. (when you consider the total
population of Crozet). I still feel strongly that a kiosk between Modern Barber Shop
and Mountain Side is a great location.
. Allow non-CCAC members to have 3 (+/-) minutes to address CCAC with
concerns, questions.
. EACH CCAC member should meet with Crozet residents + business people on a
one-to-one basis, and bring back their concerns (in writing) to the CCAC.
Could be invited to discuss issues with the BOS. Could be given more freedom from county staff.
Could have regular reports of CCAC at Crozet Community Association meeting. Posters about the
Council, meeting times, sentence or two about purpose and contact information should be created
and posted in stores and public buildings in greater Crozet area. We do not have any representation
from the Hispanic population of Crozet.
The following replies pertain to questions 4,5, and 6: 4) I believe the CCAC has been in reaction
mode these past 2 years, reacting to development events as they occur. This is not a negative
comment, since the CCAC has played a substantial role in refining the MP implementation (i,e.,
Downtown rezoning), The CCAC should become more proactive and start to address all the items
on the Initial Action Item Table. 5) The CCAC has provided position papers in the past and should
continue to do so reo the Action items. 6) The CCAC has mainly worked with established
community groups. The CCAC should build relationships with all community stakeholder groups.
8. Additional comments about the CCAC's purposes and responsibilities?:
Stay abreast on infrastructure projects and participate in update of the Comprehensive Plan 2009.
· MANY people in Crozet ARE NOT EVEN AWARE of the CCAC, who the
members are, and what we do.
· MANY CURRENT CCAC members are lacking in the responsibilities of
"communication + collaboration among all Crozet community stakeholders."
The major way CCAC reports on its activities to the community is via the Crozet Gazette. rfthat
ceased we would be much less effective in communicating the issues, actions, positions, and
decisions of the Council. It is extremely helpful and important that both our district Supervisor and
Planning commission member attend the meetings. It is very good they are emailed our minutes,
General Comments about the CCAC's Group Operating Principles:
1. Thinking about the CCAC's stated operating principles above; do you have any
suggestions for improvements that would help the CCAC work more effectively as a
group?
I think that at times the specific needs of members of the group have out weighed the objectivity of
those members.
-3-
ATTACHMENT B
I think we do a good job of listening to one another and coming to agreement for the group, as
opposed to any individuals. I would say that we, as a group, would benefit from spending more
time on some of these issues outside of the CCAC. Unfortunately, many members are already
involved in other Crozet activities that limit their time on this committee, After the group had met
for a couple of months and was really going, I think we starting doing a good job of thinking
strategically, and focusing on the issues that we thought the County governing bodies would
benefit from hearing from the group on.
. More action planning
. Increased Group attendance at Planning and SOB Sessions
A yearly retreat led by a consultant where we set goals and assign jobs/committees would be
helpful.
Nope
. Meetings should be run so that one or two people do not monopolize the floor.
Everyone should be given a chance to speak.
. CCAC members should not think of this as a two-hour a month commitment. We
represent over 4,000 people, and should take this seriously.
. Members should inform themselves on the agenda items (if possible) instead of taking
up everyone else's time asking questions.
Maybe have an effective trust-building, leadership, goals work session that would not confine us to
a "once-a-month" two-hour session. We may have fallen into the trap, get something done quickly
before the next meeting. This would be once a year, or by popular consensus once a quarter.
Meet more often so the CCAC will be more effective. Work more in subgroups with presentations
to the whole council.
None, I think both chairs have done a good job of encouraging input from all members as well as
dampening the occasional overly enthusiastic or long-running input of some members.
As previously mentioned, with the fast pace of past development, the CCAC has not had a chance
to strategically address most action items. Now that development has slackened, the CCAC should
regain its strategic focus.
2. Additional Comments:
CCAC has not reported back to the board on a regular basis in a formal manner regarding its
activities. However, it has communicated through resolutions.
The county staff and BOS need to listen more to the CCAC instead of telling us what they are
going to do,
SU22estions about the Future Direction of the CCAC:
-4-
ATTACHMENT B
1. What do you think has been the most important contribution(s) of the CCAC to the
Crozet community?
. Information meeting with citizens
I think the most important contribution has been to provide a place for Crozet citizens to have a say
in Master Plan implementation on an ongoing basis and to have the 'ear' of county staff and
officials in an informal way and on a regular basis. After such massive zoning changes to much of
Crozet, it has been important for Crozet citizens to have a regular place to discuss ongoing issues
related to the increased development and the important vitatlization of downtown. It has assisted
greatly that the group is an official advisory board, as we know that our recommendations carry
some weight for county officials.
· Serving and contributing time and energy as a catalyst for the community of Crozet for
better growth management and promoting public understanding,
. CCAC's involvement in the library and streetscape projects.
Representing to the BOS the viewpoint of the Crozet community and rallying local people at times
to speak to issues, such as the library, streetscaping, and rezoning, at BOS meetings. The Staff was
very helpful keeping us informed and up-to-date to accomplish this.
The ability to maintain open lines of communication with the County, and to communicate with the
County as to the issues important to Crozet.
I feel that it has brought dialogue between the BOS and staff and the community,
Keep the community informed of the actions of the BOS.
Being a monthly place where anyone can come to hear about and comment on issues related to
Crozet and for the members to be regularly informed and involved with them and spreading that to
rest of community,
County staff, developers, business and residents using the CCAC as a sounding board in accessing
development plans and problems.
2. What do you think has been the biggest challenge faced by the CCAC?
I think the beginning months of trying to figure out what a committee like this would do and how it
would do it. I was a bit unsure of what the commitment from the County, as well. I think it would
have helped to know that county staff would be coming to meetings for the foreseeable future and
that they were willing to provide a lot of information. Once we got down to some concrete
implementation projects, and we felt we could provide guidance or opinions about those projects, I
think we were much more effective.
Gaining the confidence of the local community that we can make a difference.
-5-
ATTACHMENT B
Too much to cover at meetings and do it well. Lack of good communication with whole Crozet
community about our work and the issues before the town.
Finding our way as to how to contribute, and maintaining focus as to our stated mission.
In the "Guidelines" under "membership," it states that "members shall consist of residents of the
Community of Crozet." This really upsets Crozet residents when they know that some members
don't even live here,
Building community trust to government. "They will do what they want no matter what" has been
a challenge.
To be recognized by the BOS and the county staff. To let us think for ourselves.
Choosing and prioritizing which issues and topics to tackle when. Keeping all its members
informed and education with the necessary background and context for the issues at hand.
The rapid pace of past development plans and the immediate need to rezone the Downtown area.
3. What do you see as the 3 most critical priorities for the CCAC to focus on over the next
year?
. Completion of library/Main St.
. Zoning changes
. Development of "downtown Crozet"
Insuring that the downtown zoning issues are implemented, assisting in the library project, getting
recycling in Crozet, and use of the old school. (sorry, four)
. Eastern Ave, Infrastructure - 250/240 Connector
. Restrict the drain on water resources - Beaver Creek
. New business - downtown Crozet
1) Acceptable rezoning plan passed and in effect; 2) to oversee library development and planning;
3) to help do everything possible to guarantee survival of downtown businesses, esp. traffic
enhancement during streetscape work.
Not particularly in this order: building/vitalization of downtown, controlling growth, to include
insuring appropriate proffers as to new growth, recycling center, library and finding just the right
use for the old Crozet School.
1. More direct contact with the people we represent (one-to-one basis).
1) Build community trust
2) Relate us to the progress of the whole county and development plans.
3) Continue to make Crozet a total "sustainable" community,
To work more closely with the BOS so they may know the true feelings of the Crozet community.
-6-
ATTACHMENT B
(1) Downtown Zoning, (2) Old School re-use (3) Growth and development in relationship to
Master Plan
Monitor downtown rezoning and redevelopment; identify, communicate, and collaborate with all
community stakeholder groups; publish annual business and residential community survey.
4. Additional comments:
Encourage more jobs, businesses, industries to Crozet.
I personally feel the county staff and BOS do not want any input from the CCAC.
Council should consider how it might make better use of the sub-committees. The County web
page on the CCAC
(http://www.albemarle.org/department.asp?department=planning&relpage=8656) is way out of
date, listing members that left more than a year ago. In addition, on the "Crozet" web page it is
buried near the bottom and ought to be closer to the top and a left side bar link.
Thoue:hts about your experience servine: as a member of the CCAC:
1. Thinking about your experience as a CCAC member, what do you feel has worked well?
. Council has had two very strong leaders of the group.
. Seeking community input on issues.
I think it has worked well to have so many county staff and representatives coming to the
meetings. I feel that they have been really engaged in the Committee and I am very appreciative of
the time and energy they have spent with the group.
Providing citizens and businesses an opportunity to be heard at the local level.
Good leadership from Mary and Mike for our group; open and honest dialog in the
CCAC; excellent County staff presence, cooperation, and information.
The interaction among the members and the CCAC with the County.
Being informed of things coming up in the County,
It has made me more vocal about the "uniqueness" of our community and more proud to be a
member of such a community. Hopefully, it will snowball in a positive direction.
Not very much.
The discussions, sharing of ideas and that we have then been able to move to decision or
resolution. Continually adding new ways to communicate with residents of Crozet.
-7-
ATTACHMENT B
Operating Principles 3 and 4. The diverse views of the CCAC members do yield consensual and
constructive actions/recommendations.
2. What changes would you recommend?
I would put some more, new people on the committee.
. More action planning,
. More feedback on new community activities in the making (from Council members).
. Encourage more CCAC representation at Planning/SOB sessions for local interest items
being reviewed.
That BOS takes our input, suggestions, and presence more seriously; No last minute changes by
staff or consultants to issues where we had input; better involvement in CCAC of Crozet groups,
such as civic clubs; homeowners' associations; clubs; churches; stakeholders.
None immediately come to mind,
Invite public to attend (most residents don't know this.) Allow 3 (+/-) minutes to hear from them of
concerns. Meet with the BOS. We have never done this. Do they even know who we are as
individuals?
There are so many people in Crozet with some absolutely fabulous talents to help us in our
committees. Example, the Committee for Recycling that can be activated. They are a great
resource, The 14-member CCAC should not feel that they should do all matters, Yes, we need to
chair, monitor, be a member of these committees, but not have the work load on 14. The
community needs to see its own "ownership" on committees. It's there and we on CCAC need to
be more in tune to pulling it out. Just got a bulletin, "Who do you know in Crozet who has
leadership to serve on Claude's Crozet pool committee?" The people are there, we just need to ask.
Let the CCAC work-do not try to keep us under the counties thumb. We live here-the rest of
you do not.
Think we need to implement some sort of staggered terms and term limits of membership.
Concerned that some day all or nearly all of the Council could turn over and there be no continuity.
In addition, without mechanism for turnover, won't be new perspectives and new constituencies
present on the Council. So some members should be one-year appointment, some with no, 1, and 2
re-appointments possible, some members' one-year appointment with two-year appointment, with
no or I-year re-appointments. So the longest anyone member could serve is four years. Then can
be appointed again after at least a one-year hiatus.
I believe the CCAC would be more effective if it prioritized the Action Items and organized into
three subcommittees. Each subcommittee would then present their Action Item problems/solutions
to the CCAC for discussion and action, and then work on the next Action Item. The CCAC
currently consists of fourteen members. I would appoint a tie breaker fifteenth member. As a
condition of membership, all members should contribute a appropriate time and energy.
3. Additional comments:
-8-
ATTACHMENT B
Thanks for doing this survey.
Many thanks to County personnel for the long hours spent with us; especially, after putting in a
long day at the office.
Post agenda so all Crozet residents can see it. Each CCAC member should attend a certain number
ofP.C. and BOS meetings a year. I think there are some who have never done this,
The CCAC is great on paper and that is as far as it goes. No one asks for our opinions, no one asks
for any feedback before any county action, and it seems the county wants no input from the CCAC.
The support of county staff, both in logistics and in information and packet preparations, and the
myriad of other things they do has contributed greatly to the success and the knowledge of the
Council. Without it the Council would be significantly less productive and useful.

COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AGENDA TITLE:
Request to amend the Albemarle County Service
Authority Jurisdictional Area ACSA Jurisdictional Area for
Tax Map 55B, Parcel 1
AGENDA DATE:
April 2, 2008,
ACTION: X INFORMATION:
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
Review of a request to amend the Jurisdictional Area
Boundary to provide Water Only designation to Tax Map
55B, Parcel 1, located on Route 250, just outside Crozet
Community.
CONSENT AGENDA:
ACTION: INFORMATION:
STAFF CONTACT(S):
Messrs, Tucker, Foley, Cilimberg, and Benish
REVIEWED BY:
ATTACHMENTS: Yes
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Jeff Sprouse, has requested a "Water Only" service designation for a four-acre parcel located on the south
side of Route 250, approximately ,7 mile east of the 1-64 Interchange at Yancey Mills, in the Whitehall Magisterial District.
Although the property is designated as Rural Area in the Comprehensive Plan, it is zoned HC, Highway Commercial (see
Attachment A). This property is currently in the ACSA Jurisdictional Area and designated for "Water Only to Existing
Structures," with the existing structures identified as a "House (old two-story)". This designation was established in 1983 as
part of a comprehensive amendment to the Jurisdictional Area Boundaries. However, there is no documentation on file
specifically noting the reason this property has this designation. After the applicant purchased the property, he removed the
structure from the property because it was in disrepair (see applicant's letter, Attachment C), At the time the applicant was
unaware of the Jurisdictional Area designation. With the prior "existing" structure removed from the property, this
Jurisdictional Area designation no longer permits service to this property, Service was never provided to the original
structure, The applicant now wishes to modify the Jurisdictional Area designation to allow any future development of the site
access to public water service.
In general, the comprehensive amendments made to the Jurisdictional Areas Boundaries in the early 1980's were done in
part to make the service areas more consistent with the County's Land Use Plan and growth management policy at the time
which directed that service was to be provided only to Development Areas. Staff's understanding is that the "Water Only to
Existing Structures" designation was intended to recognize certain properties that were located outside the Development
Area boundaries, but located adjacent to existing service lines and that were already developed in a more urban manner, or
were already served by public water and/or sewer. In some cases, this designation may have been placed on properties to
honor prior agreements to provide service to a property (negotiated as a part of land/easement acquisitions for service
line/facility installations). The designation was intended to permit service for the existing level of development present at the
time of designation, but preclude any additional, or more intensive, development of the designated property from receiving
public service without further Board action.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 2: Protect and/or preserve the County's natural resources
Goal 3: Develop Policies and Infrastructure Improvements to Address the County's Growing Needs.
Goal 4: Effectively Manage the County's Growth and Development.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is located in the deSl9nated Rural Areas, and not within a Development Area, The Comprehensive
Plan provides the following concerning water service to the Rural Areas:
General Principle: Utilization of central water and/or sewer systems or extension of the public water or sewer into
the Rural Areas is strongly discouraged except in cases where public health or safety is endangered,
Recommendation: Follow the boundaries of the designated Development Areas in delineating jurisdictional areas.
Recommendation: Only allow changes to the Jurisdictional Areas outside of the designated Development Area
boundaries in cases where property is: (1) adjacent to existing lines; and, (2) public health or safety is endangered.
AGENDA TITLE: Request to amend the Albemarle County Service Authority Jurisdictional Area ACSA
Jurisdictional Area for Tax Map 55B, Parcel 1
April 2, 2008
Page 2
This property does not meet the criteria for the provision of service to a property within the Rural Areas as there is no
documented public health or safety issue on the property. This request as presented is not consistent with the principles,
objectives and strategies of the Comprehensive Plan for the provision of water service outside of a designated Development
Area, Public water service is intended to be provided only to the Development Areas to support the County's growth
management policy of encouraging growth in the Development Areas and discouraging growth in the Rural Areas, The
continued extension of service lines into the Rural Areas can be a catalyst for growth pressures, Furthermore, providing
service to the Rural Areas utilizes valuable water supply and treatment capacities which should be reserved to support the
Development Areas, This property is of a size which could be supported by an on-site well.
The applicant has asked that the Board approve public water service for fire suppression purposes only if the Board does
not approve the request for "Water Only" to the property for domestic use. The Board has previously denied other requests
for properties in the Rural Areas to be provided with water service for the purpose of fire suppression, With the parcel being
currently undeveloped, health or safety issues regarding fire suppression do not exist.
Staff can identify only one other case similar to this one, where a property with a "Water Only to Existing Structure" had the
building eligible for service removed and there was a subsequent request for a new service designation. In 2000, the Board
approved a change in the Jurisdictional Area designation from "Water Only to Existing Structures" to "Water Only" for a two-
acre parcel located off of Georgetown Road. The property was designated Rural Areas in the Comprehensive Plan and was
zoned RA, Rural Areas. The existing house on the property was in disrepair and the property owner removed it in the
mid/late 1980s, In 2000, the owner wished to rebuild a new home on the property and have it served by public water. Since
the property was zoned RA and was two acres in size, it could not be further subdivided and could only have one dwelling
located on it. Further, with its location being outside of a designated Development Area, it was not likely to be rezoned to a
more intensive use. The new home would be of the same intensity of use and have the same level of water demand as the
original structure which was eligible for service. The Executive Summary for the 2000 request is provided as Attachment D
(Patricia Flowers-Request to Amend the ACSA Jurisdictional Area).
It would be more difficult to treat this property like the Patricia Flowers request because the HC zoning and four-acre size of
the parcel in combination with a "Water Only" designation could permit a much more intensive use of the property than
designated in the Comprehensive Plan, However, should the Board wish to treat this request in a similar manner as the
Patricia Flowers request, the Board could proceed to public hearing to consider "Limited Service" for water only to one (1)
house that would replace the prior house. This would allow for water service to be provided to the equivalent level of use as
the existing designation. However, it should be noted that the more limited nature of this designation is not consistent with
the applicant's request.
BUDGET IMPACT:
If approved, the property owner will bear the cost to connect the property to nearby water lines.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board not proceed to public hearing on this request for "Water Only" service designation. If the
applicant elects to modify his request, staff can recommend that the Board set a public hearing to consider "Limited Service"
for water only to one (1) house that would replace the prior house on Tax Map 55B, Parcel 1, conditioned upon staff further
defining the specifics of the designation,

ATTACHMENT TO APPLICATION TO AMEND THE SERVICE AUTHORITY JURISDICTIONAL AREA
FROM WATER ONLY TO EXISTING BUILDINGS TO WATER ONLY.
CURRENT ZONING -This property is currently zoned HC and has been since 1980. It has had various business uses over the
years. Most recently, it was operated as a lawn mower repair shop.
Water Service - The ACSA staff has advised that the property has designation at this time as "Water only to existing
building(s)". ACSA staff also advised that we would have to get the County to advise on this situation. Mr. Benish of the County
staff advised that approval to allow the water connection would have to be re-affirmed by the BOS since the existing building
foundation is all that is left of the existing building, Based upon the history that Mr. Benish provided, this property along with
several others in the vicinity was designated for water service in 1983. At that time, the comprehensive plan showed this property
and all the other properties approved at that time to be located outside the growth area boundary. It was zoned at that time as
Highway Commercial as it was in a commercial use. There are numerous properties along this stretch of Rockfish Gap Turnpike
that have water service - the jurisdictional area extends as far as a property on Hillsboro Lane where the end of the water line is
10cated.See attached mapping from ACSA showing properties having water service designation. (Attachment A)
At this time the jurisdictional area for water service was designated, the records reference an existing two story residential
building. Although the records don't mention the use, the building at that time was operated as a business and has been since its
zoning was designated in the 19aO which was most likely a designation at the adoption of the first Comprehensive Plan.
There is no impediment to providing the water service to the property as the public water line is located along this section of RT250
and serves properties on both sides of the road. It extends to the west and serves several properties past this property. See
attached area map showing connections. (Attachment B.)
Existing Building Issue History
When the current property owner, Jeff Sprouse, purchased the property there was an existing building in disrepair to the extent
that is was a danger to leave it standing. It had most recently used as a lawnmower repair shop business which housed this
activity and the yard was an extension collection of old rusty lawn mower frames and engines which were stored inside and
outside the building. Once the building was cleaned out, it was determined to be unsafe to allow people into the building. It was
also a safety hazard because there was no way to keep people out. Jeff had the walls and roof removed and left the foundation
in place. This was mandated because of the potential danger to the public. By its location along RT250 and in the vicinity of
several schools, it also had potential for attracting vandals. The door was broken into and replaced twice. On one occasion, a
hiker toke up residence for the night and was found with a campfire burning inside the building. The potential for fire hazard and
associated liability was significant. Attached are two photos of the rear view of the existing building after the lawn mowers were
removed.
Justification:
The provision of public water service is very important to the owner. This is a four acre parcel that is currently zoned for He uses.
It has been and is a viable business location.
1. The "existing" building was dilapidated and a public safety hazard. Therefore, removing the walls and roof should not be a
penalty to the owner.
2. The EC has been improved by the removal of the building.
3. This is not a request for NEW water designation as it was intended to have public water service for the past 20 years. This
is to re-affirm that designation.
4. Any business located on this property can provide better service to the public if the building is served with public water
rather than from a private well. Both fire protection with a possible sprinkler system and other water needs are safer when
a public water system is employed.
5. Having public water service will exclude a water storage tank that may be necessary with a private well system.
Installation of a water storage tank although viable would be a less attractive feature to be viewed from the entrance
corridor.
6. The current owner, Mr. Sprouse. is a life time resident that has grown up in Albemarle County. He has had a business in
Albemarle County for the past 17 years. As a business operator. it was not known to him that the water service could be
withheld due to his acting in good faith to remove the building which was unsafe to the public. His knowledge of land
development is limited and a matter of this type is highly unusual from any person's perspective. Although lack of
knowledge cannot be an excuse for most things, in this case - a notice in the County records so that when he received his

ATTACHMENTS: Yes
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Patricia Flowers, is requesting water service to a two (2) acre parcel zoned RA, Rural Areas and located in an
area designated as Rural Area in the County Land Use Plan (Location Map, Attachment A). This property is currently is in the
ACSA Jurisdictional Area, with a designation for "water only to existing structures." There was an existing home on the
property that was uninhabited in the early to mid 1980's. The property owner was experiencing problems with trespassing on
the property and vandalism to the home and, as a result, removed the home from the property (Applicant's Request,
Attachment B), At the time the applicant was unaware of the Jurisdictional Area designation limiting service to that existing
structure, Service was never provided to the original structure, The applicant now wishes to locate a new home on the
property, but cannot receive water service based upon the current Jurisdictional Area designation (Jurisdictional Area Map
and ACSA Letter, Attachments C & D).
Both County and Service Authority Staff are unaware of this situation occurring in the past, so there is no history of prior
Board action on this type of request.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is located in the designated Rural Area, and not within a Development Area, The Land Use Plan
provides the following concerning water service to the Rural Area:
General Principle: Utilization of central water and/or sewer systems or extension of the public water or sewer into the Rural
Area is strongly discouraged except in cases where public health or safety is endangered.
Recommendation: Only allow changes to the Jurisdictional Areas outside of the designated Development Area boundaries in
cases where property is: (1) adjacent to existing lines; and, (2) public health of safety is endangered,
In this particular situation the property is already in the Jurisdictional Area, but for "service only to existing structures". That
structure no longer exists so this Jurisdictional Area designation no longer permits service to the property, It appears that this
designation was placed on this property when the Board established the Jurisdictional Area process in the early 1980's. It is
Staffs understanding that the "service only to existing structures" designation was intended to recognize certain properties
that were located outside the Development Area boundaries, but located adjacent to existing service lines and that were
already developed in a more urban manner. The designation permitted the existing level of development to have service, but
would preclude any additional, or more intensive, development of that property from receiving public service, However, there
is no documentation on file specifically noting the reason why this property has this designation. Huntwood Townhomes are
located on the west side of this property and are served by public water and sewer.
There is no documentation of a health or safety problem with the on-site water source, The applicant has indicated that the
taste of the water was always of poor quality.
RECOMMENDATION:
The property is zoned RA, Rural Areas and is two acres in size and, therefore, cannot be further subdivided, It is not located in
a designated Development Area, so a future rezoning to a more intensive density is unlikely. Staff opinion is that in this
particular case, approval of a Jurisdictional Area designation for water service to one structure only would be consistent with
the oriqinal Jurisdictional Area designation (providing water service to one residential unit on-site), It would not encourage
more intensive development of this property or serve a use which is now inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies
for the Rural Areas, Staff would recommend amending the Jurisdictional Area boundary to provide water service only to one
dwelling unit on Tax Map 60A, Section, Parcel 20,

CONSENT AGENDA:
ACTION: INFORMATION:
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY:
ATTACHMENTS: Yes
BACKGROUND:
Since 1995, the Albemarle County Department of Social Services ("DSS"), in conjunction with the Albemarle County School
Division has operated the Virginia Pre-School Initiative, known as "Bright Stars." This program has evolved from a single
classroom at Stone Robinson Elementary School thirteen years ago to seven classrooms in six elementary schools (Stone
Robinson, Agnor-Hurt, Greer, Scottsville, Wood brook and Cale) serving 112 children in fiscal year 2007. Bright Stars
introduces children to the school learning environment, encourages socialization with peers and provides daily, hands-on,
interactive learning experiences in language, math, science, art, music, writing, dramatic play and social studies. Bright
Stars Family Coordinators help parents to identify family needs that, if addressed, can improve their quality of life and their
child's success in school. Moreover, Family Coordinators engage in goal-setting and problem-solving. For children who are
at-risk for falling behind academically compared to their peers, spending a year in the Bright Stars program is of particular
importance to developing skills to be successful in school.
Since DSS serves as the administrative and fiscal lead for the program; it provides an annual report to the Board outlining
activities and outcomes for the program during the past fiscal year.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 1 : Enhance the Quality of Life
Objective 1.1: The Board of Supervisors and general government employees will increase collaborative efforts with the
School Board and with employees of the schools system to assist the School Division to achieve recognition as a world
class education system.
Directional Statement: Local Government will develop specific strategies in coordination with the School Division.
Strategies should include working together to ensure all Albemarle County children enter the school system ready to learn.
DISCUSSION:
The annual report is a summary of the year in review and provides demographic information and program outcomes as
well as trend data reflecting test scores for children in succeeding years. In FY07, 76 percent of children who were in the
program for at least 6 months reached or exceeded the benchmark developmental range scores on the PALS PreK, a
scientifically-based phonological awareness and literacy screening that measures preschoolers' developing knowledge of
important literacy fundamentals, by the end of the preschool year. Follow-up data on previous classes suggests that
learning gains made in the Bright Stars year holds up for a high percentage of children as well.
BUDGET IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDATIONS:
This report is for information only and does not require action on the part of the Board.

It is with pleasure that we provide this introductory letter to the FY 2007 Annual Report for the Bright Stars
Program, in this twelfth year of successful collaboration between the Albemarle County Schools and the
Department of Social Services of Albemarle County.
I
In FY2008 Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine has demonstrated his administration's support for making early
childhood education an option for all Virginia families by making funds available for a Virginia Preschool
Pilot Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to allow selected sites to model strategies for quality preschool
network delivery, building on strengths of existing programs, including programs in the public and private
sectors, Albemarle County is pleased to have been selected as one of the pilot sites, A key strategy of our
expansion is "blended" classrooms in which children qualified under Virginia Pre-School Initiative, Title I and
Special Education learn together in a single classroom,
I
I
II
II
II
II
In Albemarle County, the importance of early childhood as a time for special attention and intervention has
long ago been identified, goals and strategies determined and initiatives undertaken and supported. Its
importance is highlighted in planning for the future on the part of schools, government, and social services.
I
11:! The Strategic Plan for the Albemarle County Public Schools July 2005 - June 2009 sets as goals to
"prepare all students to succeed as members of a global community and in a global economy," and to
"eliminate the achievement gap." Both of these goals include strategies addressing early childhood
education, including "increase capacity of pre-school programming. "
"127 The Strategic Plan for Albemarle County FY07 - FY I 0 sets as a goal to "enhance the quality of life"
for County residents, A stated priority is to "increase collaborative efforts with the School Board and
with employees of the schools system to assist the School division to achieve recognition as a "world
class education system.'" Significantly, "strategies should include working together to ensure all
Albemarle county children enter the school system ready to learn. "
it! The Strategic Plan for Albemarle County Department of Social Services January 2007 - December
2009 sets as a goal to "develop and implement prevention and early intervention strategies focused on
the 0 through middle school aged population," Key strategies include "expand to scope and scale
current educational prevention strategies to ensure that all children needing such services receive
them," and "create strategies focused on early childhood educationfor the appropriate age groups. "
II
I
We are proud to report on this latest year of achievement in a collaboration that started twelve years ago with
one Bright Stars program and now features nine programs in seven elementary schools. Quite simply, Bright
Stars accomplishes for a high percentage of participating children what it sets out to do: to prepare at-risk four-
year old children for future schooling, The collaboration on behalf of young children between the County
Schools and Social Services as a department of local government is unique in the Commonwealth, The
collaboration is strong and will grow stronger as we continuously learn from our work with children and
families, adapt to changing conditions in the community, and strive to improve our processes and performance,

COORDINATOR'S REPORT
OCTOBER 2007
I
I
During the 2006-2007 school year
I
Expansion of services was the focus for 2006-2007, Aided by grants from the Virginia Department of
Education and named one of ten local sites for Governor Kaine's Preschool Pilot, Albemarle County is
implementing an expansion plan that will provide a comprehensive preschool experience for more than 130
four-year-olds.
I
Expansion Plan Highlights include:
· Partnering with Title I for the preschool program at Red Hill Elementary School for 16 children
· Designing preschool inclusion programs at Stone-Robinson, Agnor-Hurt and Cale Elementary
Schools for state and locally funded-children and children receiving special education services
· Placement of 5 children at community preschools that offer high quality programs and that are
interested in serving more diverse families
· Offering a new program at Cale for tuition-paying children, state and locally funded- children and
children receiving special education services

Bright Stars Preschool introduces children to the school learning environment, encourages socialization with
peers and provides daily, hands-on, interactive learning experiences in language, math, science, art, music,
writing, dramatic play and social studies. For children who are at-risk for falling behind their peers, spending a
year in the Bright Stars preschool is especially important.
I
In addition to rigorous cognitive experiences, Bright Stars helps families to access comprehensive health and
social services so that children are able to fully engage in learning and not be distracted by pain and illness,
Bright Stars staff reach out to parents in culturally sensitive and respectful ways so that parents are provided
with the information and support that they need to raise their children more successfully, Studies show that
"parents pack the biggest punch in shaping young children's learning," Mother's sensitivity, education and
pre-literacy practices (such as reading together) powerfully advanced children's early growth,"]
II
'.
I
Bright Stars recruits highly qualified teachers, those who are certified and trained to work with young children
and who see early childhood education as their calling. Bright Stars staff is dedicated to making the school
environment feel safe, not only in terms of physical safety but especially in terms of showing acceptance,
respect and setting high expectations for all. In addition to high caliber staff, Bright Stars is fortunate to be
located in a community where funding is provided for at-risk students, there is support for school and
community-based efforts to involve and support families and there is an interest in systems working
collaboratively and cooperatively to bring about major, breakthrough improvements.
,I
I
The nation-wide support being given for universal preschool demonstrates how far the early childhood
education movement has come in the last twenty years, Whether or not universal preschool becomes a reality
in Albemarle County is yet to be determined but we are feeling the surge of change from all directions.
Serving more at-risk children, blending preschool funding streams (federal, state and local), opening up a
single point of entry for preschool registration, including preschool children who receive special education
services in regular classrooms and providing opportunities for tuition-paying students to attend Bright Stars
classes are all indicators of this change. Over the course of the next few years we expect to embrace these
changes and to hold on to those practices and policies that have made this a highly respected program in
Albemarle County

BRIGHT STARS SERVICE MISSION: I.
To increase the opportunities to learn for our children and their families I.
by promoting family involvement and addressing risk factors that affect
school performance.

I
Risk Factors
I
All children enrolled in the Bright Stars program are identified with individual or family risk factors that could
result in poor school perfonnance over the years. One risk factor in a child's environment may not necessarily
have a negative impact on that child's growth and development. However, the more risk factors present, the
more likely the child will suffer negative consequences in school and in life unless an intervention occurs that
diminishes the impact of the risk. Risk factors are interactive and reinforce each other. So the presence of
some risk factors may cause other risk factors to appear. High risk points for Bright Stars children are
associated with limited parental education and/or illiteracy of parent(s), unemployment, domestic violence,
incarceration of a parent, previous child protective services reports and/or foster care involvement, siblings
having difficulty in school, mental health issues, poverty and living in a single parent family,
I
I
I

In 2006-2007, total number of risk points scored by a child/family ranged from 3 to 27 out of
a possible maximum of 50 points,
In 2006-2007, 83% of children and families (90/112) had between 5 and 13 risk points. Except
for Woodbrook, all programs had an increase in risk points over the previous year.

STANDARDS OF LEARNING SCORES
Bright Stars continues to support and track former students who remain in the County, either at the
original Bright Stars School or another county elementary school. We are interested in knowing how
the students are progressing once they leave the four year old program. One benchmark of progress
is the Standards of Learning scores in Reading/Writing and Math taken in the 3rd grade year.

Partnership For Children
Outcome Measures
Bright Stars is among several early education and development programs that are under the umbrella of the
Charlottesville/Albemarle Partnership for Children, This organization monitors the health and well-being of
children and families from 0-6, The Partnership tracks outcomes and trends across several areas including
immunizations, annual health and dental screenings, social-emotional development, school readiness, physical
activity, enrollment in health insurance plan and parent engagement in early learning. The Partnership is key
to implementing the continuum of care and services for children and families, envisioned by local government
more than 10 years ago,
I
Family Survey
I
The Family Survey has always been an important tool for getting feedback from our parents about the Bright
Stars program, We ask parents to rate and comment on the classroom environment, the interactions with the
staff (adults and children) and the overall rating of the program. We give them space to add their personal
comments which are always enlightening, often delightful and genuinely honest. Some of our parents respond
to us in Spanish because they know staff is keenly interested in learning more about their language and
customs,
I
I
In 2007, we received a high number of responses though slightly fewer than the previous year. Sixty-eight
(68) out of a possible 112 families took the time to give us feedback, This represents a 61 % return rate.

1!x Parents are the most important teachers their children will ever have, Consequently, meaningful
parent involvement is a key factor in children's academic success, In order to facilitate parental
involvement, each Bright Stars classroom has a family coordinator who assists in bridging the gap
between home and school. This position provides for family-centered assessments, home-school
services and referrals to other community resources, Some of the opportunities for parents to be
involved during the Bright Stars year are open house at the beginning of school, home visits by the
teacher and family coordinator, parent-teacher conferences, family events throughout the year
including parent education, breakfasts and dinners, field trips and recreational activities,

"The need for parental participation is greatest in low-income and minority communities or wherever
parents feel a sense of exclusion, low self-esteem and/or hopelessness. If parents feel excluded, of little
value and hopeless, they will be likely to transmit these attitudes to their children. Such attitudes have
behavioral consequences that are the opposite of what is necessary for good school learning or the
achievement of long-range goals. " James p, Comer
1iJ Before and during the school year, family coordinators help parents identify family needs that, if
addressed, could improve their quality oflife and their children's success in school. For some parents,
the practice of goal-setting and working towards goal accomplishment is a new experience -
somewhat confusing and untested. The family coordinators' role is to help parents figure out what
they want to achieve and provide support, encouragement and access to appropriate resources,
Often, the first thing parents identify as a goal is to help their child do well in Bright Stars. So, the
coordinator and the family may decide that the way to achieve this goal is for the child to get a good
night's sleep, eat a nutritious breakfast and get plenty of fresh air and exercise during the week. The
parent may also say that he/she needs to get the child up, dressed and on the bus each morning, check
for notes or papers sent home by the teacher and attend some school events during the year, This is a
good place to start for some families and could be a year-long goal. Later, as the relationship between
home, Bright Stars and school grows stronger, other goals get identified, For example, a parent may
decide that the family's quality of life could be improved by finding better housing or by a parent
getting a high school or college degree leading to a better-paying, more satisfying job, or that a parent
needs to learn more about setting and enforcing family rules and expectations. In all these examples,
the family coordinators help make these goals achievable,
I
I
I
I
I
I
,I
Achieving these kinds of goals takes time and will not be achievable within one school year. But over
the course of two, three or five years many do achieve their goals and, more importantly, parents learn
that setting realistic goals and working patiently and deliberately towards these goals benefits the
family,

iJff V. Our Bright Stars Schools
I
The Bright Stars Program at Agnor-Hurt began in 1997. This program has always been
characterized as a culturally diverse classroom reflective of the diversity of the entire school and
the neighborhood in which the school resides, This program has benefited from being located
inside the building in the kindergarten/first grade wing where the four year-olds and their
teachers can easily interact with other students and teachers and where the four year-olds can
learn about school expectations.
I
I
I
The Bright Stars Program at Cale began in 1998. During the first year the classroom was
located within the school then moved outside to a learning cottage. Cale expansion plans call I
for a new Bright Stars classroom space in the main building, The program at Cale has been
successful in integrating a growing number of Hispanic families. This has presented an
opportunity and a challenge to staff to reach out to limited English speaking children and
parents, For the past 5 years, Cale has received more applications than there are spaces available I
in the class,
The Bright Stars Program at Greer began in 1996. Originally, the program was housed in a
learning cottage, but in 2005-2006, school administrators found classroom space in the
kindergarten wing, In 2006-2007 an additional class was added located next to the first class
within the K-I wing. Greer Bright Stars reflects the highly diverse character of the rest of the
school community, Many cultures and languages are represented by the families served
including Hispanic, Indian, African and Asian, This cultural mix presents many opportunities
and challenges for staff, This is also a highly mobile population, resulting in considerable
variability in alumni.
I
I
I
The Bright Stars Program in Scottsville began in 2000. This program draws from rural areas
around the community of Scottsville and enjoys connectivity with small town services such as
the post office, fire department and library, Scottsville Bright Stars has strong parental
involvement. Family Nights are well attended by parents and extended family, The classroom
is located in a learning cottage beside the main school building and close to the kindergarten and
Grade I classes,

STONE-ROBINSON
Stone-Robinson is where Bright Stars first began in 1995 under the leadership of a team of
local government and school employees. They established a strong connection with the Curry
School at UVa, ensuring that program implementation was grounded in the best early childhood
developmental/educational research and practices, Stone-Robinson set the standard for
programs that incorporated exceptional, certified instructional staff, concentrated outreach to
families, and connectivity and visibility in the community. The oldest alumni are in 11 th grade,

WOODBROOK
I
I
The Woodbrook Bright Stars Program began in 2004. The class is housed in the main school
building in the kindergarten/first grade wing allowing for ease of access among the early grade
levels, The instructional staff has a combined 37+ years of teaching experience. This program
reflects the diversity of the urban area in which it is located, as many of the families live in
apartment complexes off Rio Road East and Rt. 29. It is anticipated that this program will
receive more applications than can be accepted into the program in the coming years.

My name is Sydney Giacalone. I am a seventh grade student at
Jack Jouett Middle School, currently enrolled in the strings program
taught by Mrs. Carrie Finnegan. The reason I am here tonight is to ask
you to please provide funds to the School Board so that the strings
program can stay in Albemarle County Schools,
I understand why some might think the strings program should be
cut from Albemarle County Public Schools. It is one of the smaller
programs, less participation than band and chorus. But we should not
decide string's fate based off of participation compared to other
electives. There are many other numbers to consider.
First, ~ook at strin sp~rticj~ation Bu~~~r~,9x.er t~rY~ s.~D'"
y:ar, ~e"strmgs grou, .. .,has gr'tiWii( ; ". .
~~MI.l~."1,~C~.'I'll"'I.,.t;,.~~.t~j
~ These numbers show that students value~~e pt6gt~in.''''' ,<
Next, look at the numbers strings have been scoring in recent
local and national competitions. In District Festival last month, my
orchestra along with all of Mrs. Finnegan's orchestras received all top
scores on performance, appearance, and many other categories. This
past weekend, our orchestra received all gold stars in our competition
in Boston, Massachusetts. These numbers show how outstanding the
Albemarle County Public School Strings Program has come to be.
Lastly, look at the number of students, parents, and teachers that
would be hurt by the elimination of.t!i\~ ,~trings program. The one and
only response I have heard from ~,:&hen they are told strings may
not be here next year is, "Why? Why would they do that? That would
be horri~le." Look at th~,rlU~~~f,(9r~~q,en~.si~ift~~ jn fllu~i~ ,that
wouldn t be able to take ~'~~. ,_TIll~"lS because they would
not be able to sign up for ban4r~'Sii1c't!'ffiey were not in it this
year or last. Look at the numb of gifted strings teachers that would
be told they can't teach what they love teaching because the schools got
rid of it.
With this said, I ask you to please think twice about the proposal
to not supply funds for the ,strings program. My family, friends, and I
r ("\ r~ ",:..'~:,r ':' ..
support your proposed tax *atid I hope you see what a benefit the
additional funding would be for our quality Albemarle County Public
School strings program. Thank you.
PETITION PRESENTATION & STATEMENT OF SUPPORT
SCHOOL BUDGET PROPOSAL
Albemarle County Board of Supervisors Public Hearing
April 2, 2008
/
Hello. My name is Sally Cushing. My husband, Rob, and I have two girl &-One attends Henley,
and the other attends Brownsville. ~ Croze! four years a~ from P.hode blat'ld;---l.
I am here tonight to present a petition, which reads:
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, V ALUE STRONG PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND SUPPORT
THE SCHOOL BOARD'S (2008 2009) PROPOSED FUNDING REQUEST FOR
ALBEMARLE COUNTY'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
WE ASK OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY MEANS
TO FINANCE THIS REQUEST IN FULL.
. I respectfully submit this petition with 335 signatures.
I will read some of the personal comments submitted with petition signatures:
. The School Board has been elected to do a job - let them do it. They have thoughtfully prepared a cost
to perform their mission. Don't randomly reduce the proposed budget. Let the public hold them
accountable for producing the desired results --an educated public that the County needs.
. Although the school budget has been growing in recent years, so have the demands placed upon it.
Among other priorities, we must continue to provide competitive salaries and to expand services for
more diverse populations. Mandates for increased testing and higher fuel costs are beyond the school
board's control. We should minimize the impact of revenue shortfalls on our schools as the damaging
effect has longer term consequences than other areas.
. It is crucial that Albemarle County adequately fund,.,. programs like music and guidance, If tax rate
increases are needed to do so, I support them.
Pagel of3
. Don't just pay attention to a small number of anti-tax activists!
. Other developed countries do not have these issues as the government makes sure the school's budget
is met no matter what. Perhaps that is why they are more advanced; supporting schools is not just liJ2.
servIce.
. I chose the higher taxes of Albemarle County over a nearby low tax county so that I could have better
schools for my children. Don't make me pay higher taxes for average schools.
. There is no pride in being the community with the lowest tax rate. Rather, we want to be the
community with the best schools, strongest social services, sufficient affordable housing, and
outstanding parks and recreation. To achieve this goal, we need to all contribute to the II common
wealth ",
On a personal note, I have attended these Board of Supervisors' public budget hearings for the
past four years, and frankly, I am annoyed. Every year, Mr. Tucker's opening remarks mention
the Albemarle County Citizens Survey, a survey that has been conducted four times within the
past 14 years, with the most recent in 2006. Among the many questions, it asks county residents
to rate how important a given government service is to them.
Survey results for this question remain the same---
PROVIDING OUALITY EDUCATION FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN
CONSISTENTLY GETS THE NUMBER ONE SPOT.
Page 2 of 3
SO---
DON'T YOU BELIEVE US?
Each spring, we bite our nails and jump up and down to rally others to let them know that
OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DOESN'T BELIEVE US! We must write letters, send
emails, attend various community meetings, and sign up to speak, to convince this Board that
the MAJORITY really truly means what your very own survey results keep telling you:
WE WANT THE "WORLD CLASS" SCHOOLS!
REALLY!
PLEASE ---
FUND THE SCHOOL BOARD'S BUDGET REQUEST IN FULL.

Dear Board,
I am in full support of the proposed funding request for Albemarle County public schools. To offer a public school

Don't cut the music ( strings) program at Burley MS or other county schools, The county spends too much money
focusing on SOL and No Child Left Behind and needs to provide for gifted and high level children as well. If these fine
arts classes are cut, families will send their children to private schools. Albemarle County has a high cost of living and
families expect and deserve a quality education for all their children. Please look at other options before cutting music

Albemarle County Schools already lack sufficient resources to provide a quality education. People who can afford to do

The School Board has been elected to do a job - let them do it. They have thoughtfully prepared a cost to perform their

Perhaps if Albemarle County would support the additional retail and businesses that are needed (for revenue & goods)
and that are eager to set up shop, we would not have these budget issues.
Other developed countries do not have these issues as the govt, makes sure the school's budget is met no matter what.
Perhaps that is why they are more advanced; supporting schools is not just lip service.

My grandfather said something very wise to me several years ago when we were discussing him paying a schools tax in
Pennsylvania even though he had no children in the school system. He said, "I either help pay for them now, or I will
pay for them later. Now I get someone to bag my groceries, put gas in my car, shovel my driveway in the snow. Later I
would be paying for them in jail or on welfare. Which would you want?"

I am very concerned about the risk of larger class sizes. Kids in the middle -- those who are not enrolled in advanced
classes and those who are not identified to be at risk.- are the ones who lose in overcrowded classrooms. Teachers
can't give 30 kids the individual attention they need. Add in compliance with SOLs and NCLB, teaching students with

Please do not make the mistake of not funding the School Board's request! Once school budgets begin to be

Please do not cut teacher assistants. literacy specialists, Tsips or math specialist and do not increase student-teacher
ratios. Cutting funding and increasing student-teacher ratio will work counter to improving scores for those who are
struggling most. The children needing extra help will not get their needs met. Increasing ratios favors the advantaged
students who are more independent learners.

The education of children -- our future -- is the most important demonstration of how our society values and invests in

equipping our society's future citizens for leadership? Please support this budget.

Although the school budget has been growing in recent years, so have the demands placed upon it. Among other
priorities, we must continue to provide competitive salaries and to expand services for a move diverse populations (e.g"
ESL, special needs, tutoring).
Mandates for increased testing and higher fuel costs are beyond the school board's control.
I think we should minimize the impact of revenue shortfalls on our schools as the damaging effect has longer term
consequences than other areas,

The surveys done by the county revealed that the central office is overstaffed and top heavy. Why aren't budget cuts
beginning there, rather than the schools?

Keeping school funding should be a high priority. I chose the higher taxes of Albemarle County over a nearby low tax
county so that I could have better schools for my children, Don't make me pay higher taxes for average schools.

In order for educators and students to meet local and state goals, the budget will need to be fully funded. Without the
necessary funding, we cannot continue to make progress toward these goals.

I am deeply concerned about the projected revenue shortfall facing the school budget. The School Board has already
made cuts, and further reductions will compromise the quality of education provided to County children.
Albemarle County’s schools are nationally recognized for their excellence, Continued investment in them will
reap many benefits for our community. I strongly urge you to fully fund the School Board's budget request.

Hello, my name is Eric Hahn. PLEASE Fully-Fund the School Board's
proposed budget.
I am the Vice President of the 7th grade at Henley Middle School. I am
speaking to you for two reasons.
1) As an obligation to my peers for electing me as the Class
Representative to make sure our rights and our needs as students are
heard and considered
AND
2) For myself as a student and for my family, especially my twin brother
who is the Concert Master for the Henley Strings Program.
Last year my campaign speech for the office of Vice President included a
promise to save the Strings Program, so I have to ask you, "Why am I once
again defending the Strings Program?" I beg of you to Please Stop
suggesting that we cut the Strings Program each year.
PLEASE remember that the students in Albemarle County will one day be
our future community leaders, healthcare providers, legal advisors and
teachers. What is your VISION for the future of OUR community???
"
My education and that of my peers depends on the quality programs and
teachers that you fund. I know Reading, Writing, and Math are standards but
remember good cit~zens are created. Good Citizens are created by exposure
to the electives. ~~the Strings Program you are ~tfering to eliminate and
the teachers Y/8. are not appropriately compensa~'for the amazing
knowledge they share with us students.
Let me remind you, the University of Virginia is just down the road. Their
admissions requirements look for well-rounded quality students. How do
you think any Albemarle County student would get accepted into the
University's advanced curriculum, if you don't fully-fund the budget?
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson played the violin?? So the way I see it,
It is your duty as our elected officials to give EVERY student in Albemarle
County a fair and equal chance at world class educational opportunities and
goals

We are now in the 21 st century. The educational needs and financial
requirements for a quality education have changed since the time you and
my parents attended school. My mother at1;~nded Albemarle County Schools
and my parents wanted to educate me and -1&0/ siblings in the Albemarle
school system because they knew first-hand the quality of the Albemarle
County education system. Let's move toward the future not back to the past.
Please, for my sake don't disappoint my parents.
A sound investment for any community is the support we all put behind our
education system, I have to ask you "Why would you even consider to
jeopardize it". I ask you once again, "Please don't leave me, my brother and
my peers behind, fully-fund the School Boards Proposed Budget.
Thank you for your time and for listening.
