Mr. Wood requested that the Traffic Engineer check a traffic hazard where the new ramp from the 29-2%0 Bypass merges with 2%0 West. ¥-19-73 29 The following communication was received from the Virginia Department of Highways: "April 9, 1973 Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 Gentlemen: Secondary System Addition and Abandonme~ Albemarle County ADDITION LENGTH Section 2 of new connection, Route 691 from station 37/60 (Route 691)to Station 53/00 (Route 691) project 006~-002-102,P$01. ABANDONMENT Section I of old location Route 691 from station 53/00 (Route 691) southerly 0.10 mile, project 006~-002-I02,P~01. O. 23 mi. 0.10 mi. Sincerely, (Signed) J. E. Harwood Deputy Commissioner" At this time, the Board continued discussion of resolution passed at the March !5 meeting concerning Greenbrier Drive, Peyton Drive, Commonwealth Drive and Westfield Road. Mr. John Humphrey, County Planner, stated that he had informed Dr. Charles Hurt of the Board's action regarding escrow check being held by the CoUnty for upgrading these roads. At this time he has not received a certified check as was ordered in said resolution. Mr. R. G. Warner, Resident Highway Engineer, said that revised plans were received by the,Highway Department in 1971 to reflect the design necessary to handle the traffic generated by the apartment development behind Stromberg-Carlson on Peyton Drive. To date, nothing has been done to bring these roads to the ~evised standards. Dr. Charles Hurt said that he had built these streets to City standards because he felt this area would be annexed and he has maintained these streets for five years at his o%~ expense. Several years ago Stromberg Carlson requested an entrance to their parking lot some 300 feet off of Route 29 North on Greenbrier Drive. Stromberg Carlson applied for Industrial Access Funds to have this portion of road brought to state standards. Their request was approved. They have now asked for an entrance to the back of their property off of Commonwealth Drive and are again asking for Industrial Access Funds to upgrade this road. Dr. Hurt said that he felt it was fair for Stromberg Carlson to help since this road would be used by a far greater number of people because of this use and he would contribute part of the cost for upgrading this road. As requested in resolution by your Board on March 15, 1973, the following addition to and abandonment from the Secondary System of Albemarle County are hereby approved, effective April 9, 1973. 3O Mr. Thacker said he did not feel that the use of Industrial Access Funds on the first section of road was proper. He did not feel that public money should be used for upgrading streets of private developers. He suggested that Dr. Hurt work with the Highway Department in an effort to bring this section Of road to an acceptable standard based on traffic generated by the apartment project only. When that section of Greenbrier Drive which will give access to Stromberg Carlson's property is built to a minimum standard for acceptanc$~ by the Highway Department~ perhaps he will vote for Stromberg's request for Industrial Access Funds for any additional upgrading required due to traffic created by Stromberg-Carlson. Mr. Allen Kindrick, from Stromberg-Carlson~ said that there may have been some reason the Inudstrial Commission and the State Highway Department put more emphasis on the initial entrance. At that time it did eliminate a major traffic hazard from Route 29 North and this request does not have that criteria. He said that Stromberg-Carlson still needs that access and he hoped some satisfactory aPrangements could be made to ultimately give some assistance in getting to the back of their property. of Mr. Wheeler inquired as to the cost of upgrading that portion/Peyton Drive and Greenbrier Drive down to the portion of Greenbrier Drive which has been accepted into the state system. Mr. Warner gave a rough estimate of between $40~000 and $~0~000. Mr. Wheeler then asked how much of Inddstrial Access Funds would be required for Stromberg's request. Mr. Warner estimated this at approxi- mately $~,000. Mr~ Aubrey Huffman, designer of the road, said that at the time this road was constructed there was only one minimum standard; 20 feet of payment, 6 inches of stone, surface treated. This road was built 36 feet wide with eurb, gutter and some sidewalks. This far exceeded minimum standards at the time. New highway standards came into being and the road was not acceptable on the vehicle per day count and because this was a one owner development. He reiterated that the roads were not built to inferior standards. Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Warner if the roads had been built to acceptable standards at the time~ if they would have been accepted if there had been two or more property owners. Mr. Warner said that the Highway Department had never approved any plans, but he felt this was correct. Following a short discussion, Dr. Hurt stated that he would pay one-half of the cost for upgrading the road and he would like to see the Highway Department reconsider and pay for the other one-half.of the cost. Mr. Wheeler stated that he was willing for the committee to-investigate this point and he suggested that the action taken by the Board on March 1~ be continued until May 19. I+_19_73 Mr. Fisher said he was not in disagreement with Mr. Wheeler's request, but could find no lapse of public responsibility that would lead him to believe that public funds should be expended. Mr. ~neeler said this would have to be decided after the committee make their report. Motion was offered by Mr. Thacker to continue action taken on this matter at the March 1~ Board meeting until May 19. Motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley~ Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: None. ABSE~: Mr. Carwile. (Mr. Carwile arrived at 10:0~ A.M.) The next matter under discussion was a request to have roads in Bedford Hills taken into the State system The Cae k read the following letter into the record: "March 22, 1973 Mr. Gordon Wheeler Chairman, Board of Supervisors Albemarle County Charlottesville~ Virginia Dear Gordon: We have attempted to get the roads in Bedford Hills into the state system but have met with some difficulty with the highway department. It is my hope that perhaps you might aid us in arriving at a satisfactory solution. Bedford Hills Corp. entered into an agreement in 1960 with M. T. Decker, a licensed ~ivil engineer, to lay out the road system in the sub-division according to State of Virginia specifications. M~. Decker submitted drawings to the highway department and assured us that the plans had met with their approval. Consequently, Bedford Hills Corp. employed C. O. Hall to construct the road system according to the approved plans and under the sBpervisio~ of M. T. Decker. To the best of our knowledge, both Decker and Hall performed according to contract. ~ At present, it is the contention of the highway department that~a section of Culpepper Drive is not acceptable to their specifications. Two pictures are enclosed showing the area in which the discrepancy lies. Photo A shows the road with the camera facing west, and B shows the road with the camera facing east. ·The entire length of the kno!l in question is not more than 200 feet and does not present any real driving difficulty. It is used primarily by only the homeowners in the subdivision. To cut the road down and resurface it would not only place a seemingly unnecessary financial burden upon the developers, but would also require the homeowners on the south side of Culpepper Drive to lower their driveways to meet the new level. Bill~ Fulton Bishop, and I would certai-ty appreciate any'~assistance you might give us concerning this situation.~ Yours sincerely, (Signed) George Roper Route 1, Earlysville, Virginia" Mr. Aubrey H~man gave a short history of these roads. He said there are problems~ namely~ where the road crosses the pond~ because it was built without complying with specifications at that time and paved gutter where grade exceeds ~% has not been installed. 32 4-1 9-73 In 1968 he discovered the situation relating to site distance. Alleviating this situation would require lowering the road seven or eight feet at the top~ of the hill and would also require the road to be reshaped for ~00 or more feet and utilities would have to be lowered. ~. ~eeler asked if by eliminating the problem of site distance at this one point, if the road could be brought up to state standards. Mr. Huffman replied that the road across the dam would have to be evaluated and c~b and gutter installed. Mr. Wheeler said that for the number of cars using this road daily the site distance is much better than on other roads in the county and he felt that lowering the road at this point would cause great damage to the lots along this Section of road. He requested Mr. Warner to review this matter with Mr. Huffman. Mr. Joseph Wood was present again to request that Whitewood Road be accepted into the State system. He stated that at the March 1~ meeting, action was deferred on this matter because Whitewood Road intersects with that portion of Commonwealth Drive 'which is not in the State system. He asked the Board to consider this as a separate item. Mr. Carwile did not feel that this Board should delay action on Mr. Wood's request because this road connects with a road which is not in the State system. Mr. Wheeler said he would be prepared to adopt some resolution at the May meeting and requested that this matter ~e deferred. Mr. Wood stated that certain street light requests for Jefferson Village and the Carrsbrook, Northfields, Westmoreland area !have not been approved by the Culpeper District Office of the Highway Department due to recent changes in criteria. He asked Mr. Warner to set up a meeting ~th all people concerned in order to study the criteria as it relates to the County Master Plan. At 10:20 A.M. the Chairman requested that the Board adjourn into executive session to discuss a matter which will be the subject of a public hearing. Motion to this effect was offered by Mr.Henley, seconded by Mr. Wood and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile~ Fisher, Henley, Thacke~, Wheeler'and Wood. NAYS: None. The Board reconvened at 10:48 A.M. At this time~ Mr. Wheeler left the meeting and Mr. Thacker assumed duties as chairman. The report scheduled to be given on a complaint about soil erosion onRussell Mooney's property next to Hollymead was deferred until the Ma~ee~ng. Mr. Mooney requested this deferral due to illness. (Mr. Carwile abstained'from the following discussion.) Mr. Humphrey gave a short report of an incident reported in The Daily Progress concerning a horse which was ridden into mud at Hollymead and thereafter had to be ~destroyed. He said that from the disgram drawn by the deputy sheriff investigating this matter, it showed this had occurred near a debris basin which was installedat the request of the County. ~-1 9-73 Dr. Hurt said this was one example of his constant plea to the Board to allow him to finish all of the earth moving on this property before people move into this area. He felt there is no way to keep!~ people off of any construction site. Mr. Thacker felt this was an unfortunate incident and thOught that the Board might refer this matter to the Planning Commission for recommendations concerning fencing or other protective measures. Ms. Linda Besson was present at the request of the Board to explain revised fourth quarter budget figures for the Mental Health Board. She explained that the State had asked the Mental Health Board to start a receiving unit program designed to help mentally ill~_patients returning from State hosp~itals. This would be a pilot program and if started in the fourth ~arter of the 1972-73 budget year, the StYe would match funds on a.7~-2~% local match. Ms. Besson said this request would not increase the County's share of the Mental Health Board Budget. Mr. Batchelor asked if the State has given assurance that there will be no added cost to the County after implementation of this program. MB. Besson said that this program had not been given final approval by the State~ but if approved, the approval would run through June, 197~. After a lengthy discussion, Ms. Besson was requested to discuss the revised figures with Mr. Robert Sampson and then for Mr. Sampson to prepare a memo to the Board on this matter. Mr. Humphrey presented to the Board flood plain information studies made by the U. S. Army Corp. of Engineers on Mechums River, the South Fork of the Ri~anna River and the North Fork of the Rivanna River. He said that there are two reports still due~ namely on Ivy Creek and the Hardware River. He also requested two resolutions from the Board for acceptance of these reports. It was the concensus of of the Board that adoption of these resolutions be deferred until April 2.~. Mr. St. John stated that in the matter of a resolution passed by this Board on March 1~ relating to Daley Craig and Four Seasons, he has met with Mr. Craig's attorneys and thi~ matter has not been resolved. The drainage easements are directly ~oncerned with the lines which are in turn subject to the~~ litigation which has not been resolved. He said this is a very complicated case and he felt Mr. Craig's attorneys have shown good faith by discussing this case with him. He asked that the matter be deferred in order~to afford him more ti~e to access this case. As recommended by the County Attorney~ Mr. Carwile offered motion to defer any action on prior resolution until April 2~. Motion was seconded by Mr. Henley and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile~ Fisher, Henley, Thacker and Wood. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Wheeler. Mot~n was offered by Mr. Wood to cancel Check No. 7822, dated February 22, 1973, in the~nount of $~1.8~ payable to Charlottesville 0il Company and Check No. 8219, dated March 21, 1973 in the amount of $80.00~ payable to Charlottesville 0il Company~ both of these being returned as duplicate payments. Motion was seconded by Mr. Fisher 4-19-73 and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Thacker and Wood. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Carwile and Mr. Wheeler. Report was received from the Auditor of Public Accounts for the ~iscal year ended June 30, 1972 and for the period July 1~ 1972 through Ja.nuary 1, 1973 for Stuart F. Hea~ Judge of the Albemarle County Court. This report stated that the audit disclosed that full accounting had been made for all recorded receipts and that the records had been prepared in good order. Mr. Jim Ritchie and Ms. Nancy Talmont were present to ~scertain the Board's feelings to the following questions which were po~ed by the District Home Board. (1) What would be the participating counties and cities view of constructing an addition to the District Home~ and (2) what ~.~ort of facilities would the county be more interest~in, residential care or nursing home? After lengthy discussion and upon recommendation of Mr. Batchelor~ Mr. Carwile offered motion to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS~ the District Home Board has under consideration the constr~ction of an addition to the District Home; and WHEREAS, said Board has requested expression from the governing bodies of participating localities in the~e as to ~heir need for additional facilities and whether the need would be for residential care of nursing home'care; NOW~ THEREFORE~ BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Supervisors of Albemarle County~ Virginia that this Board ~onvey to the District Home Board its interest in an addition to the District Home. Based on current needs as indicated by this County's Superintendent of Public Welfare, Albemarle County could use an additional twesty beds for residential care as well as fifteen to twenty additional beds for nursing home care. However~ this Board does not wish to make any definite commitment until preliminary cost figures are prepared and localities are informed of proposed contractur~l arrangements and priority basis for the proposed ~ddition. The foregoing motion was seconded by Mr. Fisher and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile, Fishery Henley, ~nd Thacker. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Wood. At 12:00 P.M. Mr. Thacker stated that the Chairm~n had requested that the Board a~journ into executive session for lunch in order to discuss legal matters. Motion to this effect was offered by Mr. Carwile~ ~econded by Mr. Henley and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley and Thacker. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Wood. The Board reconvened at 1:4~ P.M. and Mr. Wheeler resumed his duties as Chairman. ¥-19-73 Dr. GeOrge Moore and Mr. Irving Allen were present at the request of the Board to give explanation concerning a request for funds for expansion of the Charlottesville- Albemarle Health Department. Mr. Allen explained that this expansion of 2acilities will add an additional 10,000 sq. feet of floor space. When this building was built in 1962 the Health Department had a staff of 16 and at this time the staff consists of 60 people. In 197I~ Dr°Moore had a space utilization expert from the University of Virginia make a study of the present building. His suggestions were found to be for temporary measurez only and it was proposed at that time to apply for Hill-Burton funds, which would provide space for current needs and for well into the future. Mr. Thacker asked if in making application for these funds, the Board must agree that their matching 2~% funds are available. Mr. Allen re%ied that this had been the experience in the past. Mr. Thacker stated that he had found federal Dunds were not always the boon they might seem on the surface, particularly relating to wage scales and this would be his biggest reservation in accepting these funds if they become available. Mr. Carwile offered motion to authorize application for Hill-Burton funds and to authorize the Chairman to sign application certifying that the County will provide up to $102,000 as it's share of the project if it is approved for funding under the Hill-Burton program. Motion was seconded by Mr. Wood. Mr. Wood felt the Board should act in good faith and unless something major occurs to change the situation, certify that the Board would go ahead with construction of this facility. Mr° Eisher stated that if the Health Department wanted 100% local funding and were asking for mere than 100% additional space, this Board would make a thorough study to see if this were the way they wanted to spend local money. He felt the Board was being stampeded into authorizing this request because they were obtaining free money. Mr. Thacker agreed with Mr. Fisher stating that population had increased only 36% since 1962, however, the Health Department staff had increased ~00% md now the Health Department was asking for 100% increase in space and he would not commit himself at this time to accepting Hill-Burton funds if they are approved. Dr. Moore stated that if the Board did not approve this request the Health Department would have to look at space requirements in ligh~ of what might be available without federal funds. This might necessitate the scraping of plans for certain needs such as expansion of the dental program and a ~.D. clinic. The Chairman then called for a vote onthe motion and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: None. Mr. Wheeler announced that there is a meeting scheduled for May 7 at $:00 P.M. with Dr. Shanholtz,~Dr. Graham and City Council to discuss the regional health concept. 9-?3 Sheriff George Bailey was present to apprise the Board of his hiring three deputies as airport guards. He stated that he will receive an $8,000 federal grant to help equip these deputies. Total cost will be billed to the Airport Board when contractua~ arrangements are complete. Mr. Thacker felt the Airport Board should employee these men as airport employees, begin their training and when contractual arrangements are complete, revert to County payroll. Mr. Clarence McClure, Superintendent of the Albemarle County School Board and Mr. Carl Van Fossen, Chairman of the School Board were present with the following requests: (I) Approval of funds for ~planning. In particular for the elementary s~hool and, if possible, for the new high school; (2) approval of funds for contruction of a new elementary sh~ool on Route 29 north; and (3) advice and assistance from the Board for securing loans for construction of thes. e two schools. Mr. Wood offered motion to authorize plans and specifications or working drawings for a new elementary s~hool on Route 29 North. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carwile and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Carwile, Fisher, Henley, Thacker, Wheeler and Wood. NAYS: None. After discussion, it was the concensus of the Board that the School Board should adopt appropriate resolutions for ~pplication to the Literary Fund for loans and return th~se to the Board for their approval. Mr. McClure said that April 1~ is the time set for nenewa~l~ of teacher contracts and he requested th~tthe Board take some action on the proposed 1973-74 budget so he could proceed with preparing contracts-. It was the general concensas of the Board that no decision would be made on this matter until after the public hearing on the proposed budget. Motion was offered by Mr. Fisher to set May 9, 1973, at 7:30 P.M. in the Albemarle County Courthouse as the date for a public hearing on the 1973-74 budget and to h~ar public comments on revenue sharing.

A resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of Citizens for Albemarle, March 1~, 197~.
