N. Garnet~ Harris L. Smith ?~Mj ~.' Sutherland, Jr. ~/ Officers present: County Executive and Commonwealth's Attorney. Members of Crozet Water Committee present: Messrs. Daughtrey, Apperson, Tomlin and Sandridge and Mr. Blair Funkhouser. Mr. Daughtrey addressed the Board and stated that before getting to matters relating to the distribution system at Crozet, he would like to present an unofficial recommendation of the Water Committee that Mr. Blair Funkhouser be made a member of that Committee. He advised that Mr. Funkhouser was engineer at Morton's and that his knowledge of engineering would make him a valuable adjunct. The chairman polled the Water Committee and it was their unanimous recommendation that Mr. Funkhouser be made a member of that Committee. On motion by Mr. Sutherland, seconded by Mr. Garnett, the-Board unanimously ratified the recommendation of the Water Committee that Mr. Funkhouser be made a member of that body. Mr. Daughtrey then advised the Board of certain difficulties encountered by the Committee in furnishing water to a number of consumers in the Sanitary District. He stated that due to the growth of the area And the large number of consumers, the single six inch line designed to transport the water from the clear water basin ~ its ultimate point of usage simply was not large enough for the demands upon that single line. On questioning, the County Executive stated that he had a~vised the Board ~-number of times in the past that in~his~opinion the~iggest bottleneck in the-distribution system was the single six inch line serving the community. Mr. Daughtrey stated that due to the above fallacy in constructi~n~ a number of consumers were unable to get water. He stated that a study had been made in order to alleviate the condition and he referred to certain recommendations made by thA~ Committee to the Board of Supervisors in the early spring. He stated that the recommendations consisted of three main items 1?as follows: (1) A parallel eight inch line from the clear water basin to Knobloch's corner. (2) A supplemental supply in the form of a well to be located in the village propers? (3) The construction of a dam to the west of the reservoir to contain an additional estimated ten million gallons of water. The Board was apprized of the fact that it had previously ratified the recommendation of the stating that the Water Committee had negotiated with $%;dnor Pump%and Well Company,~Richmond, Virginia, for the dril!in.~ of 'the well and that.~ the rig-had arrived at the job site that morning. He asked that the Board give consideration to items No. 1 and 3 above mentioned. The matter of financing of~:~the pro- jects was discussed. The ~Qunty Executive resented a financia QROZET _SANITARI.

After considerable dis- cussion it appeared to be the sense of the Water Committee that in addition to the well presently under way, it is imperative that work begin immediately on an eight inch parallel line to bring the w~ter fro~ the clear water basin. They stated that they were of the opinion that this project should be let for bid and that engineering data relating to plans and specifieR.ions should be obtained On motion by Mr. Sutherland, seconded by,tr. Garnett, it was unauimouslyRESOLVED that the water Committee proceed with the employment of an engineer to assemble data regards plans and specifications relating to the water line in order that bids may be obtained at the earliest possible date and that they proceed immediately with the purchase of pipe necessary to connect the clear water basin with the six inch line at Knohloch's corner. On motion, the meeting adjourned.

Ho Paine appeared and requested a~ceptance of road in Carrs- brook Subdivision~beginning at Route 29, North, and extending in an easterly direction for 2,130 feet. They stated that this road had been paved to State specifications. However, it was brought out in dis- cussion ~hich followed that said road would have to be referred to viewers due to the fact that the lots in said subdivision were more than three acres and did not come under the subdivision regulations~ Birckhead and Dr. Paine offered to pay for the expense of viewers so that the road might be accepted prior to winter rather than wait until regular viewers are appointed in the spring~ After discussing this matter with the Commonwealth's Attorney, motion wzs offered by Mro Harris, seconded by Nr~ Suther~ land, and unanimously carried, ordering that the foregoing request be referred to Viewers at their reguL spring meeting due to established policy. Request was received from Shadwell Estates, Inc. for acceptance into the Secondary System of road in Shadwell Estates extending from U.S. 250 to Shannon Drive, a distance of approximately 700 feet. Er. H~ Wo Runkle, Resident Engineer, advised that drainage pipe along this requested addition does not comply with State specifications. Therefore, action on this request was deferred. Petition was received requesting shaping, grading and ~urfacing of Route 719 between Alberene Road and Esmont Road, a distance of approximately 2-~ mile. The'County ExecutiVe advised that the landowners were willing to participate one-half in the cost of this improvement, however, in discussing the matter with the Stmte Highway Department, he had been advised that even with participation~ the State did not have funds to do this improvement. Nr~ Pence stated that he had advised the attorneys of ~..~he applicants in this regard~ He was instructed to also advise the applicants of the matter. Communication was received from the State Department of Highway~ advising that as requested by this Board, approVal~had been given to the abandonment of Route 709 fromRoute 708, South to dead end, a~distance of 0.30 mile.
