Tucker, Huff, Morgan REVIEWED BY: ~/ ~// · /~ BACKGROUND: During the budget worksessions for the 1998-99 budget, the Board reviewed information regarding a 1% scale adjustment to salary scales for the 1998-99 fiscal year in order to keep entpJ level salaries more competitive. Also contemplated was placing all available salary funds (i.e., 2.75%) into the merit pool. The effect of this would not be to move everyone 1% and then apply the appropriate merit funds but that the medt funds used would result in at least a 1% increase for every current employee in order to keep them ahead of new employees being hired while, at the same time, raising the scale for purposes of market competitiveness. The total costs for both schools and local government was projected at approximately $13,000 which can be absorbed within the proposed budget. DISCUSSION: On Monday, April 6, 1998, the Albemarle County School Board was presented with the same information and gave their support to the 1% scale adjustment subject to the Board of Supervisors' approval as well RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the scale be adjusted 1% with all available compensation funds being placed into the merit pool at whatever percentage the Board ultimately decides during the budget process. 98.067 BOARD OF SUPER¥ISOR$ COUNTY OF ALBEMARLI o j EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: Virginia Community Development Block Grant, Community Organizing Planning Grant SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Request approval of a resolution authorizing the County Executive to submit the Community Organizing Planning Grant Application. STAFF CONTACT(S): Mr. Tucker, Ms White, Ms McDonald BACKGROUND: AGENDA DATE: ITEM NUMBER: April 15, 1998 ACTION: INFORMATION: CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: X INFORMATION: ATTACHMENTS: Yes REVIEWED BY: ~~ The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development administere the federally funded Community Development Block Grant Program (VCDBG). These [unds are available to "non-en~lement~ localities on a compe~live basis to implement a wide variety of housing and community development activities. There are two types of grants: (1) Community Improvement Grants (CIG); (2) Planning Grants. A CIG application was submitted bythe County March 27, 1998 for Housing Rehabilitation in the Porters Road/Yancy School Community, Planning Grants do not require public hearings, only an authorizing .resolution. DISCUSSION: During the 1994, 1995, 1996. 1997 and the 1998 CDBG public hearings, the Whitewood Community was identified as a potential targeted neighborhood for a future Community Improvement Grant, possibly a community center. The design of the 1996 VCDBG program introduced a new category of planning grants, the Community Organizing Planning Grant. This grant is intended for neighborhoods that have not already selected a future Community Improvement Grant project, but may need to undergo a process of organizing and visioning in order to select, develop and prioritize an appropriate improvement acidity for the future. These types of grants must involve community groups or non~preat groups in organizing neighborhood residents, assessing community strengths and weaknesses, and strategizing for future social and physical improvements. The result of such efforts must be capacity building among future beneficiaries, who will create a vision of their future, using CDBG and other resources. The maximum grant amount is $10,000. The Whitewood Village apartment complex contains 96 units of Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Rental Assistance. The i~ffeen-year subsidy contract expires in the year 2002. Depending upon the wishes of the owner of the property and the funding availability of future Section 8 funds, the County may lose these rental units currently serving Iow-and moderate- income residents. There is no requirement for the owner to continue with rental assistance even if it is available. A community organizing planning grant would create the opportunity for the current residents to plan for their future in cooperation with the current ownem. The greater Whitewood Community was the second neighborhood seJected for focused activities by the County's Neighborhood Team. MACAA has currently been working with the tenants to organize a Resident Council. Matching contributions include County Office of Housing and MACAA staff time, plus a $1000 grant from the County's Neighborhood Team. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution, which authorizes the County Execuitve to submit a Community Organizing Planning Grant to the Virginia Department of Housing & Community Development for the Whitewood Village neighborhood in the amount of $10,000. The grant will be subcontracted to the Monticello Area Community Action Agency (MACAA). 98.066 Resolution WHEREAS. the County of Albemarle has long recognized that citizen readership and involvement is a prerequisite for empowered and self-sufficient neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, the County believes that empowered and self-sufficient neighborhoods should be developed and encouraged in all possible ways; and WHEREAS, the County's new Neighbors Team initiative has begun to bring together the vadous County departments and community agencies that work most frequently to create an organized, coordinated, on- going process to address neighborhood problems and concerns: and WHEREAS, the neighborhood of Whitewood Village provides 96 units of decent, safe and affordable housing through the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Rental Assistance Program, serving 96 Low and Moderate income households and 237 Iow and moderate income individuals; and WHEREAS, the Whitewood Village Section 8 Rental Housing Assistance Payments Contract expires in the year 2002 and such expiration could result in the displacement of 96 Iow and moderate households; and WHEREAS, the Monticello Area Community Action Agency is a member of the County's Neighborhood Team, is experienced in neighborhood organizing, and is partially funded by the County; and WHEREAS, matching contributions include donated County Office of Housing staff time and $1500 of MACAA staff time plus a $1000 grant from the County's Neighborhood Team. WHEREAS, the Monticello Area Community Action Agency has agreed to administer a Community Organizing Planning Grant on behalf of Albemarle County; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Robed W.

Tucker, Huff, Davis, Kelsey, Keeler REVIEWED BY: ~f:f/47 [ ~ / DISCUSSION: Peter Jefferson Place is a "Planned Development' located on the top of Pantops Mountain. It is bordered by State Farm Boulevard. State Route 250 East, Interstate 64 and the Rivanna River. Since its inception the Peter Jefferson Place "concept" has been to create a "campus' type atmosphere that provides multiple points of access yet is otherwise isolated from the surrounding road network. During the development of the Master Plan and plans for the road system it became apparent that the Developer, County, and VDOT could not agree on ~ssues of the overall design "concept" and transportation system philosophies, The disagreements stemmed from the Developers' desire to preserve unique design features, the County's vision of the design "concept" and its inter-relationship with the surrounding community, and VDOT road design standards and policies. With the assistance of an outside consultant, hired by the Developer, the issues were arbitrated and the attached agreement was developed. This agreement assures and clearly delegates responsibility for the construction of specific road improvements. It cleady establishes the standards and performance expectations for the construction of improvements and for the actions of each party. The agreement requires the Developer to finance and construct reads within the deveJopment in accordance with plans approved by the County, to make improvements to Route 250, to contribute to the cost of a traffic signal at the Route 250/State Farm Boulevard intersection, and to make other improvements to that intersection. The agreement requires the County to review the plans submitted by the Developer and to request, if certain prerequisites are satisfied, that the reads constructed by the Developer be accepted into the Secondary System of State Highways. The Developer, VDOT, and County staff (county attorney, planning, and engineering) have reviewed the agreement and all are satisfied with the provisions. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached resolution to authorize the County Executive to execute the road agreement. 98.072 RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation, the developer of Peter Jefferson Place and the County desire to enter into an agreement which identifies the responsibilities of the developer in the construction of roads within Peter Jefferson Place and the construction or financial contribution for improvements to existing roads adjacent to Peter Jefferson Place; and identifies the responsibilities of the Virginia Department of Transportation and the County related thereto. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors hereby authorizes Robert W. Tucker, Jr., County Executive, to execute the above-described agreement. I, Ella W. Carey, do hereby certify that the foregoing writing is a true, correct copy of a Resolution duly adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County by voteof (_, to O onApri115, 1998. ~lerk.

Fdtz, AICP Senior Planner Ella Carey Amelia McCultey Jack Kelsey Jens Whitney & VVilliam Clark STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: WILLIAM D. FRITZ, AICP FEBRUARY 10, 1998 APRIl, 15, 1998 SP 97- 19 CFW WIRELESS [BRITTS MT.] A licant's P- o .osal_: The applicant is proposing to construct a tower at tree top level to provide PCS, Personal Communication System, coverage for southern Albemarle County. The proposed tower is a wooden pole. Currently no PCS service is provided in this area. The specific location and design of the proposed tower is shown on Attachment C. Staffhas indicated the location of the proposed tower and access to the tower on a topographic map which is included as Attachment D. Petition: Proposal to consu'uct a telecommunication facility on 65 acres zoned PA, Rural Areas and EC, Entrance Corridor Overlay District. [10.2.2.6] Property, described as Tax Map 75, Parcels 22 and 23, is located on the east side of Route 29. Monacan Trail Rd., on Britts Mountain in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. This site is not located within a designated growth area. Character of the Area: The location for the proposed tower is on the side of Britts Mountain well below the crest of the mountain. Attachment D is a topographic map that shows the location of the proposed tower, nearby houses and the observatory. The proposed tower is at an elevation of approximately 655 feet ASL. Above Sea Level, the top of Britts Mountain is 1,262 feet ASL. The closest dwelling to the proposedtower is approximately 300 feet distant. (This dwelling is also approximately 80 feet lower in elevation.) Approximately 17 houses are located within 2,000 feet (0.6 miles) of the proposed tower. No existing towers are located in the area, the nearest tower Ia 360 Communications tower at Camp Holiday Trails adjacent to 1-64] is located approximately 1.2 miles to the north. The nearest CFW facility is located on the roof of University Village approximately 3.3 miles to the north. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval. Planning and Zoning History: ~'~ No action has been taken on this site by either the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors. The applicant had previously submitted a request on this property for a 150 foot tower located higher on the mountain. The current request reflects the applicant's efforts to address concerns raised in prior reviews of towers in the CFW network. Comprehensive Plan: Staff notes that in order to construct the proposed tower clearing for access and the provision of electrical service will be required. Therefore, these impacts, in addition to the impact of the tower itself, have been reviewed for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. This property is located in the Rural Areas of the Comprehensive Plan. Currently the Comprehensive Plan contains limited review criteria for the sitingof telecommunication towers. The Open Space Plan does provide some guidance for the protection of identified resources of the County. The resources identified in the plan and potentially affected by this application are: Entrance Corridor, Critical Slopes and Mountain Resource Areas. The Entrance Corridor is currently addressed by the ARB, Architectural Review Board. Critical Slopes are addressed by the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. While a portion of this property is located inthe Mountain Resource Area, the proposed tower location is below the Mountain Resource Area. This tower is intended, primarily, to provide service to the Route 29 corridor. Route 29 is designated as an Entrance Corridor Overlay District. The intent of the Entrance Corridor Overlay District as stated in the Zoning Ordinance is in part "to implement the comprehensive plan goal of protecting the county's natural, scenic and historic, architectural and cultural resources including preservation of natural and scenic resources as the same may serve this purpose" and "to protect and enhance the county's attractiveness to tourists and other visitl)rs; to sustain and enhance the economic benefits accruing to the county from tourism". As stated previously in the memo addressing all of the CFW request, the ARB has not reviewed this request so no detailed analysis on the impact of this proposal on the Entrance Corridor Overlay District is available. [The ARB has stated that without additional guidance from the Board of Supervisors it is unable to review applications for towers completely.] This tower will be visible from the Entrance Corridor District. Without additional information staff is unable to determ'me if the impacts created by an alteruative site would have a greater or lesser impact on the Corridor. While this property contains significant areas of critical slopes, the proposed tower is located such that the tower will not be on critical slopes. However the access road will cross areas of critical slopes based on a review of available topographic maps. To address the impact caused by crossing areas of critical slopes staff has included conditions which will restrict the amount of 2 nnpact. Based on these conditions, staff opinion is that the request is not in conflict with the Open Space Plan as it relates to critical slopes. The impact of this tower on resources as identified in the Open Space Plan is in the opinion of staff not significant due to the limited visibility of the tower and conditions to limit impact on critical slopes. STAFF COMMENT: Staff wilt address the issues of this request in four sections: Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(II) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 4.10.3.1 oftheZoning Ordinance. - Staffwill address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself thc right to issue all special use permits permitted hereunder. Special-use permlts for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, The proposed tower is located approximately 35 feet from the nearest property line and does not comply with the setback requirements of the ordinance. The tower location is on the side of Britts Mountain which is entirely wooded. These trees will provide excellent screening of the equipment at the base of the tower. Based on the applicant's information these trees are approximately 90 feet tall. The top of the tower will be at tree height with the antenna extending seven feet above ~ree height. This will offer few if any opportunities for collocation in an area which has been identified as not having substantial collocation options. However, this height will offer limited visibility of the tower. The proposed tower is located approximately 300 feet from the nearest dwelling. Based on staff review this tower will have limited visibility from any dwellings or Route 29. Lighting of the tower is unlikely as the tower is under 200 feet in height and staff has included a condition prohibiting lighting. The design of the tower is such that is has limited visibility from residential property. Therefore, staff opimon is that approval wonid no! cause a substantial detriment to adjacent property. Additional information may be provided by the public during the public hearings on the issue of potential impacts. that the character of the district wilt not be changed thereby. Staff has considered this tower as a stand alone facility. Towers have been peimitted in the Rural Areas and have not, in the opinion of staff, resulted in a change in the character of the Rural Areas to this point. Staff opinion is that this tower will not change the character of the Rural Areas district due to limited traffic volume, limited activity for the installation of access/electricity, and no impact on this or other property for any by-right agriculturaMforestal use. Based on the limited visibility and limited maimenance impact caused by this tower staff opinion is that this request does comply with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance. and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance, Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as stated in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 with particular reference to Sections 1.4., 1.4.4, and 1.5 (Attachment E). All of these provisions address, in one form or another, the provision of public services. The use of mobile telephones clearly provides a public service as evidenced by the exPanded and rapid increase in use. Based on the provision ora public service, staff opinion is that this request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of these sections of the ordinance. Section 1.4.3 states as an intent of the Ordinance, "To facilitate the creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious community". The provision of this facility does increase the availability and convenience for users of wireless phone technology. The limited visual impact caused by this proposal does not in the opinion of staff conflict with the intent of the ordinance to create an attractive community. Therefore, staff opinion is that this request does comply with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance. with the uses permitted by tight in the district. The proposed tower will not restricl the current uses, other by-tight uses available on this site or by-tight uses on any other property. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of thi~ ordinance. Section 5.1.12 of the ordinance contains regulations governing tower facilities and appropriate conditions are proposed to ensure compliance with this provision of the ordinance. and with the public health, safety and general welfare. The provision of increased communication facilities may be considered consistent with the public health and safety and general welfare by providing increased communication services in the event of emergencies and increasing overall general communication services. The Telecommunications Act addresses issues of environmental effects with the following language, "No state or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions". In order to operate this facility the applicant is required to~mect the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions. This requirement will adequately protect the public health and safety. Section 704(a/(7)(b)(I)(lB of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The regulation of the placement, construction and modification of personal wireless facilities by any state or local govenmaent or.instrumentality,thereof shall not prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services. Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the provision of personal wireless service. Staff does not believe that the special use permit process nor the denial of this application has the effect of prohibiting the provision or personal wireless services. The applicant has not demonstrated that there are no other locations within the proposed area of service currently available for new rower construction. For this reason, staffdoes not believe that denial of this application would have the effect of prohibiting the provision of services. The applicant has worked with staff in an effort to identify any suitable location for collocation which would eliminate the need for construction ora tower: Alternate sites for the construction ora new tower have not been discussed. Potential collocation sites investigated included 360 Communication Tower located on 1-64. This tower does not provide a viable collocation alternative as the Ragged Mountains would block the signal to Route 29. No other collocation options have been identified which would provide coverage ha southern Albemarle. Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 oft he Zoning Ordinance. The text of Section 32.2.2 is attached. The Commission may waive the drawing of a site plan if requiring a site plan would not forward the purpose of the ordinance or otherwise serve the public interest. The site review committee has reviewed the request fora site plan waiver. Based on this review staff is unable to identify any purpose which would be served by requiring the submission ora site plan. Staff recommends approval of a full site plan waiver subject to the following conditions: Approval of an erosion and sediment control plan prior to the issuance of a building permit; Provision of one parking space. Reduction of setback in accord with the provisions of Section 4.10.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 4.10.3. I states: "The height limitations of this chapter shall not apply to barns, silos, farm buildings, agricultural museums designed to appear as traditional farm buildings, residential chinmeys, spires, flag poles, monuments or transmission towers and cables; smokestack, water tank, radio or television antenna or tower, provided that except as otherwise permitted by the commission in a specific case, no structure shall be located closer in distance to any lot l'me than the height of the structure; and, provided further that such structure shall not exceed one hundred (100) feet in height in a residential district. This height limitation shall not apply to any of the above designated structures now or hereafter located on existing public utility easements". By the requirements of this provision the proposed tower would need to be located a minimum of approxunately 90 feet from the edge of the property. The proposed tower is located approx'unately 35 feet from the closest property line. Staff opinion is that this provision is designed to prevent undue crowding of the land and to prevent safety hazards should a tower fall. Historically, towers reviewed by the County are approved subject to a condition requiting approval of a tower designed to collapse in the lease area in the event of structural failure. Inthis situation the proposed tower is a wooden pole which cannot be designed to collapse in a predictat~te mmmer. Relocation of the tower to a site which would meet the setback is an option, but would likely require a taller tower and would result in additional impact on areas of critical slopes. Should the tower collapse it would not be near any dwelling on adjacent property. The area of the adjacent property nearest the tower is located uphill from the tower and in areas of critical slopes which cannot be buik on. Therefore, in the event of collapse no improvements would be endangered. Therefore, staffis able to support this request. SUMMARY: Staffhas identified the following factors which are favorable to this request: The tower will provide increased .wireless capacity which may be considered consistent with the provisions of Sections 1.4, 1.4.4 and 1.5; 2. The tower will not restricl permitted uses on adjacent properties. 3. This request complies with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1. 4. The design of the tower is such that it will have limited visibility. Staffhas identified the following factor which is unfavorable to this request: 1. There is an existing reasonable use of the property. Staff opinion is that this request is consistent with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ord'mance and therefore, staff is able to recommend approval of this request subject to conditions. In the event that the Board chooses to deny this application staff offers the following comment: In order to comply with the provisions of the Telecommunication Act, staff requests consensus direction fi:om the Board regarding the basis for denial of the application and instruction to staff to return to the Board with a written decision for the Board's consideration and action. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff offers the following recommended conditions of approval. Recommended Conditions of Approval. 1.

Site. Also, the length of all wooden poles will be to treetop level with the antennas mounted on a cross-member {see attached/and the seven foot antennas will extend up above the treetops (see attached photo simulation). The seven foot fiberglass antenna we use is a DB910CE-M Model, 1850-1990 Mhz. These are not Duel Polarized Diversity. We have to use two, one to transmit and one to receive. Accordinfl to the RF Engtneers. for the PCS we need both antennas. These are not the same antennas used with the 800-900 MHz Cellular system. As for the setbacks at the two sites you mentioned (Britts and Bellair), The poles will be placed inside existing tall trees, the holes bored into the ground will be of a depth to provide stability IAW manufacture design specifications. Construction design assures this pole can with stand winds Ul: to I00 mph. On the Britts Mtn. Site. the same thing applies to keep the pole from falling onto the neighbors property to the south. As you can see in the photo simulations, this site is also in the middle of numerous large trees. This site cannot be moved north away from the property line any further without dropping rapidly in elevation and would be undesirable for construction and accessibility, and would require a longer pole. No one lives on this ridge. I know you will have more questions, but I hope this information helps clear up some of your concerns. We will not build something that will fall and cause harm to anyone or anything near it. ~cerely, ~-~ Mgr."Site Acquisition/ZOning DESCRJ. FI~ON OF REQUEST: iPage 31 CFW Wireless requests a special use permit to construct and operate a 90' PCS Cellular Communications Tower and associated equipment. The length of the pole will be to tree top level, with the antennas attached to the top, Extending 7' above the trees. The pole will be of a wood type construction supporting two 7' fiberglass antennas. Easemen~ from the nearest utilities are also requested. JUSTIFICATION: CFW Wireless has been licensed by the Federal Communications Commission m provide PCS or Personal Communications System service m the residents of Albemarle County. PCS is a revolution in cellular technology. It is a phone with caller id. a pager, and an answering machine in one lightweight, hand-held unit all for tess than current cellular service. It is CFW's intent to compete with the local exchange carrier giving the residents of Albemarle County the option of doing away with land line phones and having one "go-anywhere" communications unit that has all of the services of land-line phones and more, CFW requests this site at Britt's Mountain to provide coverage for commuters and residents along the Route 29 corridor South of Charlottesville. This site will tie into our proposed sites north and south on highway 29. The property at Britt's Mountain is zoned RA and the height of the trees in the general area is 90'. At many other locations in Albemarle County the average tree height in older growth areas is 90', CFW is using that as a bench mark height and estimating that tree growth in the Britt's Mountain area will be negligible. With the understanding that proposed guidelines in Albemarle county allow for towers to extend 40 above the tree level in RA zoned areas. CFW feels that a 90' foot tower will allow us to provide our service in the manner required by the FCC.

FRITZ, AICP FEBRUARY 10, 1998 APRIL 15, 1998 SP 97-18 CFW WIRELESS [COVESVILLE.1 Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing ro construct a tower at tree top level to provide PCS, Personal Communication System, coverage for southern Albemarle County, and northern Nelson County. The proposed tower is a wooden pole. Currently no PCS service is provided in this area. The specific location and design of the proposed tower is shown on Attachment C. Staffhas indicated the location of the proposed tower and access to the tower on a topographic map which is included as Attachment D. This tower is located between the access road to the Fan Mountain Observatory and Route 29 and is at a lower elevation than the observatory. Petition: Petition to construct a telecommunication tower at tree top level with associated ground facilities on a portionof 56 acres zoned RA, Rural Areas [10.2.2(6)]. Property, described as Tax Map 109, Parcel 9C, is located on the east side of Route 29, Monacan Trail Rd., at its intersection with Route 837, Cove School Lane. This site is located in the Scottsville Magisterial District and is not located within a designated development area. Character of the Area: The location for the proposed tower is on the side of Fan Mountain well below the crest of the mountain~ Attachment D is a topographic map that shows the location of the proposed towex, nearby-houses and the observatory. The proposed tower is at an elevation of approximately 821 feet ASL, Above Sea Level, (a previous rower request for CFW on this property was at 945 feet ASL) the Observatory is at an elevation of 1,825 feet ASL. The closest dwelling to the proposed tower is approximately 300 feet distant. (This dwelling is also approximately 75 feet lower in elevation.) Approyamately 24 houses are located within 2,000 feel (0.6 miles) of the proposed tower. An apple packing plant and a church are also within 2,000 feet of the proposed tower. The Observatory is located approximately 1 mile to the southeast. No existing towers are located in the area, the nearest tower Ia 360 Communications tower] is located approximately 3 miles to the southwest in Nelson County. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4. I oft he Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval. Planning and Zoning History_: The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended denial of a request for a 150 foot tower on the property on July 15, 1997. That special use permit request was withdrawn prior to Board action. The applicant has modified this request to lower the height of the tower and to move the tower base from an elevation of 945 feet to 821 feet. The design of the tower has als0 been modified from a steel lattice tower to a wooden pole. Comprehensive Plan: Staffnotes that in order to construct the proposed tower cleating for access and the provision of electrical service will be required. Therefore, these impacts, in addition to the impact of the tower itself, have been reviewed for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. This property is located in the Rural Areas of the Comprehensive Plan. Currently the Comprehensive Plan contains limited review criteria for the siting of telecommunication towers. The Open Space Plan does provide some gnidanee for the protection of identified resources of the County. The resources identified in the plan and potentially affected by this application are: Entrance Corridor, Critical Slopes and Mountain Resource Area~. The Entrance Coi'ridor is currently addressed by the ARB, Architectural Review Board. Critical Slopes are addressed by the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. While a portion of this property is located in the Mountain Resource Area the proposed location is not in the Mountain Resource Area. This tower is intended, primarily, m provide service to the Route 29 corridor. Route 29 is designated as an Entrance Corridor Overlay District. The intent of the Entrance Corridor Overlay District as stated in the Zoning Ordinance is in part "to implement the comprehensive plan goal of protecting the county's natural, scenic and historic, architectural and cultural resources including preservation of natural and scenic resources as the same may serve this purpose" and "to protect and enhance the county's attractiveness to tourists and other visitors; to sustain and enhance the economic benefits accruing to the county from tourism". As stated previously in the memo addressing all of the CFW request, the ARB has not reviewed this request so no detailed analysis on the impact of this proposal on the Entrance Corridor Overlay District is available. [The ARB has stated that without a~dditional guidance from the Board of Supervisors it is unable to review applications for towers completely.] This tower will be visible from the Entrance Corridor District. Without additional information staff is unable to determine if the impacts created by an alternative site would have a greater or lesser impact on the Corridor. While this property contains significant areas of critical slopes, the proposed tower is located such that neither the tower or access road will cross areas of critical slopes based on a review of available topographic maps. The impact of this tower on resources as identified in the Open Space Plan is in the opinion of staff not significant due to the limited visibility of the tower. STAFF COMMENT: Staffwill address the issues of this request in three sections: Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(II) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board of Su_nervisors hereby reserves unto itself the fight to issue all special use permits permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance maybe issued u_non a fmding by the Board of Sup_ ervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, The proposed tower is located approximately 135 feet from the nearest property line and does comply with the setback requirements of the ordinance. The tower location is on the side of Fan Mountain wh/ch is entirely wooded. These trees will provide excellent screening ofthe equipment at the base of the tower. Based on the applicant's information these trees are approximately 70 to 80 feet tall. The top of the tower will be at tree height with the antenna extending seven feet above tree height. This will offer few if any opportunities for collocation in an area which has been identified as not having substantial collocation options. However, this height will offer limited visibility of the tower. The proposed tower is located approximately 300 feet from the nearest dwelling. Based on staff review this tower will have limited visibility from any dwellings or Route 29. Lighting of the tower is unlikely as the tower is under 200 feet in height and staff has included a condition prohibiting lighting. The design of the tower is such that is has limited visibility from residential property. Therefore, staffopinion is that approval would not cause a substantial detriment to adjacent property. Additional information may be provided by the public during the public hearings on the issue of potential impacts. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby, Staff has considered this tower as a stand alone facility. While Fan Mountain is utilized for the Observatory it is the opinion of staffthat the pbysical separation of the two uses is such that no clustering of the impacts occurs. Towers have been permitted in the Rural Areas and have not, in the opinion of staff, resulted in a change in the character of the Raral Areas to this point. Staff opinion is that this tower will,not change the character of the Rural Areas district due to limited traffic volume, limited activity for the installation of access/electricity, and no Lmpact on this or other property for any by-fight agricultural/forestal use. Based on the limited visibility and limited maintenance impact caused, by this tower staff opinion is that this request does comply with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ord'mance~ and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance. StatThas reviewed the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as stated in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 with particular reference to Sections 1.4., 1.4.4, and 1.5 lAttachmem E). All of these provisions address, in one form or another, the provision of public services~ The use of mobile telephones clearly provides a public service as evidenced by the expanded and rapid increase in use. Based on the provision of a public service, staff opinion is that ti-ds request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of these sections of the ordinance. Section 1.4.3 states as an intent of the Ordinance, "To facilitate the creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious community". The provision of this facility does increase the availability and convenience for users of wireless phone technology. The limited visual impact caused by this proposal does not in the opinion of staff conflict with the intent of the ordinance to create an attractive community. Therefore, staff opinion is that this request does comply with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance. with the uses permitted by right in the district. The proposed tower will not restrict the current uses, other by-right uses available on this site or by-right uses on any other property. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance. Section 5.1.12 o£the ordinance contains regulations governing tower facilities and appropriate conditions are proposed to ensnare compliance with this provision of the ordinance. and with the public health, safety_ and general welfare. The provision of increased communication facilities may be considered consistent with the public health and safety and general welfare by providing increased communication services in the event of emergencies and increasing overall general communication services. The Telecommunications Act addresses issues of environmental effects with the following language, "No state or local govemmem or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placemem construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissionsto the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions". In order to operate this facility the applicant is required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions. This requirement will adequately protect the public health and safety. Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(IB of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The regulation of the placement, construction and modification of personal wireles~faeilities by any state or local government or instrumentality thereof shall not prohibit or have the effect of prohibitine the provision of personal wireless services. Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the provision of personal wireless service. Staffdoes not believe that the special use permit process nor the denial ofth/s application has the effect of prohibifmg the provision or personal wireless services. The applicant has not demonstrated that there are no other locations within the proposed area of service currently available for new tower construction. For this reason, staff does not believe that denial of this application would have the effect of prohibiting the provision of services. The applicant has worked with staff in an effort to identify any suitable location for collocation which would elim'mate the need for construction ora tower. Alternate sites for the construction ora new tower have not been discussed. Potential collocation sites investigated included the Observatory. The Observatory is located at the top of the mountain and initially appeared to remove the need for the construction ofatower. However, theterrain of Fan Mountain is such that a ridge running east/west creates a shadow which would not allow a facility located on the Observatory to serve a portion of Route 29 within the County. Locating on the Observatory would at a minimum require the construction of a tower to serve the area within the shadow. This alternate site most likely could be located outside of the Mountain Resource Area. No other collocation options have been identified which would provide coverage in southern Albemarle. Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32,2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. The text of Section 32.2.2 is attached. The Commission may waive the drawing of a site plan if requiring a site plan would not forward the purpose of the ordinance or otherwise serve the public interest. The site review committee has reviewed the request for a site plan waiver. Based on this review staff is unable to identify any purpose which would be served by reqmring the submission ora site plan. Staff recommends approval of a full site plan waiver subject to the following conditions: Approval of an erosion and sediment control plan prior to the issuance of a building permn; Provision of one parking space. SUMMARY: Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to Iris request: The tower will provide increased wireless capacny which may be considered consistem with the provisions of Sections 1.4, 1.4.4 and 1.5; 2. The tower will not restrict permitted uses on adjacent properties. 5 This request complies with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1. 4. The design of the tower is such that it will have limited visibility. Staff has identified the following factor which is unfavorable to this request: 1. There is an existing reasonable use of the property. Staff opinion is that this request is consistent with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance and therefore, staff is able to recommend approval of this request subject m conditions. In the event that the Board chooses to deny this application staff offers the following comment: In order to comply with the provisions of the Telecommunication Act. staff requests consensus direction from the Board regarding the basis for denial of the application and instruction to staff to return to the Board with a written decision for the Board's consideration and action.

SP 97-67 ~ CV142~ Bellair Dear Mr. Fritz. This ~s in response to your letter dated January 5, 1998 reference the above applications for zoning. Find attached an application for the Britts Mtn. Site. Also, the length of all wooden poles will be to treetop level with the antennas mounted on a cross-member Csee attached) and the seven foot antennas will extend up above the treetops (see attached photo simulation). The seven foot fiberglass antenna we use is a DB910CE-M Model, 1850-1990 Mhz. These are not Duel Polarized Diversity. We have to use two. one to transmit and one to receive. According to the RF Engineers. for the PCS we need both antennas. These are not the same antennas used with the 800-900 MHz Cellular system. As for the setbacks at the two sites you mentioned IBritts and Bellair), The poles will be placed inside existing tall trees, the holes bored into the ground will be of a depth to provide stability IAW manufacture design specifications. Construction design assures this pole can with stand winds up to 100 mph. On the Britts Mtn. Site, the same thing applies to keep the pole from falling onto the neighbors property to the south. As you can see in the photo simulations, this site is also in the middle of numerous large trees. This site cannot be moved north away from the property line any further without dropping rapidly in elevation and would be undesirable for construction and accessibility, and would require a longer pole. No one lives on this ridge. [ know you will have more questions, but I hope this information helps clear up some of your concerns. We will not build something that will fall and cause harm to anyone or anything near it. ~S~cerely, ~ tv~gr. 5' e A quisition/Zoning i ATTACHPIENT C I Lpage 3J DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: CFW Wireless requests a special use permit to construct and operate a Mini-cell Communications Tower and associated equipment on the Lackey Property at Covesville. The Telephone Pole will be supporting 2 and up to 6 antennas. The Mean Sea Level (MSL) of the property at the lowest elevation is above 800'. The survey drawing will-have the base height of the telephone pole and location, to include easement to the site. The height of the Pole will be at tree top level about 80'. Attach is a site plan drawing showing the Mini- cell layout. IUSTIFICATION: CFW Wireless has been licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to provide PCS or Personal Communications System service to the residents of Albemarle County. PCS is a revolution in cellular technology. It is a phone with caller ID, a pager, and an answering machine in one lightweight, hand-held unit all for less than current cellular service. It is CFW's intent to compete with the local exchange carrier giving the residents of Alhemarle County the option of doing away with land line phones and having one "go-anywhere" communications unit that has all of the services of land-line phones and more CFW requests this site at Covesville [o provide coverage for residents and commuters along Route 29. This site will tie into other proposed sites North and South ~t,his one. The property at Covesville is zoned RA and the height of the trees in the general area is around.~0'. The growth in this area is fairly old. At many other locations in Albemarle County the average tree height in older growth areas is/~0'. CFW is using that as a bench mark height and estimating that the 70' trees will grow another 10 feet over the next 20 years. With the understanding that proposed guidelines in Albemarle county allow for towers to extend 40' above the tree level in RA zoned areas. CFW feels that an 80' foot Pole will allow us to provide our service in the manner required by the FCC and allow other service providers to co-locate on our tower to reduce tower proliferation in the County. 611 MINI CELL SITE VIEW CFW WIRELESS JATTACHMENT C J BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Dept. of Planning & Community Development 401 Mclntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902-4596 ~804) 296-5823 February 4, 1998 Larry Ryan P O Box t238 Waynesboro, VA 22980 SP-97-67 CV 142, Bellair Subdivision Tax Map 76C, Section 2, Parcel 2 Dear Mr. Ryan: The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on February 3, 1998, unanimously recommended approval of the above-noted petition to the Board of Supervisors.

Sincerely, Susan Thomas Senior Planner SET/jcf CCi Amelia McCulley t,~'IIh-~arey David & Carolyn Holmes Jack Kelsey STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: SUSAN THOMAS FEBRUARY 3, 1998 APRIL 15,1998 SP 97-67 CV 142 (CFW AT BELLAIR) Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval to install a 90 foot, self supporting wooden pole to provide improved PCS cellular phone coverage for the 29/250 By-pass corridor south of Route 250 West, within Albemarle County. Currently CFW Wireless service is available in the area, but significant areas of weak signal or even no signal exist along this corridor. The proposed tower location is a 10 foot x 10 foot fenced site in the northeast [rear] comer of Lot 2 in Bellair Subdivision, street address 118 Deer Path. This lot adjoins the By-pass right of way on the easT. Petition: Proposal to install a telecommtmications tower in Bellair Estates Subdivision. The property, zoned RI, Residential (1 dwelling mt/acre) and EC, Entrance Corridor, and described as Tax Map 76C Section 2 Parcel 2, is located on the west side of the Route 29 By-Pass (Monacan Trail), approximately one half mile south of the intersection of Routes 29 and 250 West (Ivy Road) in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. This site is located in Neighborhood Six, and recommended for Neighborhood Density Residential (3 - 6 dwelling units/acre) in the Comprehensive Plan. A location map is included as Attachment A; the applicant's site plan is Attachment B; the applicant's justification is Attachment C. The applicant is also requesting setback and site plan waivers. Character of the Area: Lot 2 is located at the eastern edge of Section 2 of Bellair Estates Subdivision, accessed from Deer Path Lane on the west and bound by the 29/250 By-Pass right of way on the east. The property across the by-pass to the east is heavily wooded and owned by the University of Virginia. To the west is Birdwood Estate. also owned by the University; which is tmdeveloped and in open space with the exception of the pavilion and former farm dependencies. To the south is Liberty Hill Subdivision, and to the north across Route 250 West is a small commercial area contain'rog Bellalr Market, Piedmont Tractor, a health care provider, and other small commercial establishments. Attachment D is a topographic map that shows the location of the proposed tower, nearby house structures, and other features. The proposed tower site lies at an elevation of approximately 520 feet ASL, Above Sea Level. McComfick Observatory, approximately one half-mile to the southeast, is at an elevation of 3_ approximately 880 feet ASL. The closest dwelling, approximately 200 feet from the proposed site, is located on the same lot and occupied by the owner of the property. Approximately 50 residences are located within 2,000 feet (0.37 miles) of the proposed tower. No existing towers are located in the immediate area. The nearest identified tower [not cellular] is located to the north across Route 250 West, at the Piedmont Tractor property. The nearest CFW Wkeless facility is located at University Village approximately 1.5 miles m the north on the east side of the by-pass. The closest tower to the south is the proposed CFW site at Britt's Mountain, west of Route 29 and south of 1-64. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval with conditions. Planning and Zoning History: None available. Comprehensive Plan: Staffnotes that in order to construct the proposed tower, limited clearing for access from the existing driveway and the provision of electrical service will be required. Therefore, these impacts, in addition to the impact of the tower itself, have been reviewed for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Staffcan identify no provision in the Comprehensive Plan which prohibits ar has the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless communications. This site is located in Urban Neighborhood 6 of the Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Plan. a developmem area; it is identified as an Entrance Corridor in the Comprehensive Plan, Open Space Plan and Zoning Ordinance; and, Potential Gmenway Corridor (western portion of the Neighborhoodl in the Comprehensive Plan, Open Space Plan. Currently, the Land Use Plan contains limited review criteria for the siting of telecommunication towers. The Open Space Plan does provide some guidance for the protection of identified resources of the County. The resources identified in the plan and potentially affected by this application are: Entrance Corridor and Potential Greenway Corridor. The Entrance Corridor is currently addressed by the ARB, Architectural Review Board. The Greenway Corridor is identified for future acquisition/establishment by the county, and would traverse the western, less developed portion of this Neighborhood, not in Bellair subdMsion or this particular site. This tower is intended, primarily, to provide service to the 29/250 By-pass corridor. This road is designated as an Entrance Corridor Overlay District. The intent of the Entrance Corridor Overlay District as stated in the Zoning Ordinance is in part "to implement the comprehensive plan goal of protecting the county's natural, scenic and historic, architectural and cultural resources including preservation of natural and scenic resources as the same may serve this purpose," and, ,to protect and enhance the county's attractiveness to tourists and other visitors; to sustain and enhance the economic benefits acerulng to the county from tourism." If the special use permit is approved, the ARB will review this request for impacts to the Entrance Corridor Overlay District. It is not clear how visible this tower will be from the Entrance Corridor District, because it is a wood pole, equal in height to and surrounded by existing trees. Similarly, it appears that although it will be somewhat visible from Deer Path Lane, the fenced compound may be the feature that is most distinguishable since the pole can be expected to blend with the surrounding trees. Without additional information staffis unable to determine if the impacts created by an alternative site would have a greater or lesser impact on the Corridor. Access to the tower will be from a 15 foot wide easement from the existing residential driveway on Lot 2. STAFF COMMENT: Staff will address the issues of this request in four sections: Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(II) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. [copy attached] Reduction in setback in accord with the provisions of Section 4.10.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board of gupervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substanlial detriment to adjacent property, The proposed tower is located approximately 15 feet from the nearest property lines (north and east). The owner of Lot 2 also owns the adjacent lot (Lot 3) located to the north, the property most directly affected by the reduced setback. Lot 2 adjoins the By-pass fight of way on the east side. The site is wooded; the applicant's survey information indicates that the existing trees are approximately 90 feet tall, and the tower is proposed to match their height. The fiberglass anrermae will add another 7 feet to the height of the tower, although because of their light weight and small diameter, these are not expected to be as visible as other larger antennae types. It is staff's opinion that the visual impacts of the enclosure fencing, access road, and service vehicles will be more significant that of the tower itself, due to the latter's material and height. Because of its location at the rear of the lot adjacent to the by-pass, surrounded by mature trees, an undeveloped lot to the north and the owners' residence m the south, and within a small enclosure that will necessitate minimal clearing and disturbance to the property, if the tower is 3 distinguishable from Bellair properties, it is expected to be a minor feature in'the landscape. The applicant' s photo simulation indicates visibility from the by-pass, but the use of wooden mud fiberglass components makes the tower unremarkable in the landscape, particularly at the posted travel speeds. Staff notes that the use of non-reflective dark colored materials would minimize the metallic appearance and visual impact of the fencing. Similarly, development of the access road to a minimum standard to avoid erosion and surface damage is recommended. Additional information may be provided by the public during the public hearings on the issue of potential impacts. The applicant has indicated that CFW Wireless service personnel will visit the site approximately one time per month, a schedule similar to other utility providers. When electrical power to the site is interrupted by weather or other factors, service personnel would be required to visit the site to ensure that back-up power systems are working. This schedule is not expected to create adverse impacts to adjacent property. Four wheel drive sport utility vehicles [Jeep type] are generally used for this purpose. The proposed tower may offer limited opportunities lbr collocation in an area which has been identified as not having substantial collocation options. Staff notes that although the County encourages collocation of facilities where oppommities exist, future collocation on this tower, should it be approved, should not introduce telecommunications facilities that more significantly impact the adjacent property and the district. If approved, future facilities should be substantially of the same nature as the whip antennae proposed with this application. No lighting requirement is anticipated since this tower does not penetrate the Airport Overlay District. Based on the above cited factors, staff finds that the proposed tower will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby. In determining the impact on the character of the district, staff has taken into consideration the character of the district as described in the Comprehensive Plan. Urban Neighborhood 6 lies within a designated development area in the Plan, although Bellair itself appears to be fully built out and little additional development is anticipated. It is zoned Rzl, Residential (1 dwelling unit/acre) and EC, Entrance Corridor. The EC zoning applies to the eastern border of the subdivision, and as described earlier this report, if approved the tower will be reviewed by the ARB. -An established commercial areaexists to the north across 250 West, designated for Office/Service in the Plan, and to the east and west along Route 250 West there is additional commercial development. The topography and mature:vegetation combine to effectively insulate In Bellair from the adjacent commercial.uses and promote a feeling of privacy within the development. There are above-ground utilities along some of the major internal roads, utilizing wooden poles similar the proposed tower; the smaller side roads appear to have buried utilities. Because of the wooded nature of the area, the placement of the tower at the edge of the subdivision adjacent to the By- pass and away from the interior, and the mixed uses abutting Bellair, staff finds that the proposed tower will not change the character of the district. It is expected to be only minimally visible from the residence on Lot- 2 itself and from adjacent lots, with an impact commensurate with that of a telephone or power pole although less centrally located than those utilities usually are. and that such use will be hq harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance, Staffhas reviewed the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as stated in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 with particular reference to Sections 1.4., 1.4.4, and 1.5 (Attachment F). All of these provisions address, in one form or another, the provision of public services. The use of mobile telephones clearly provides a public service as evidenced by the expanded and rapid increase in use. Based on the provision of a public service, staff opinion is that this request is in harmony with the purpose and intent afthese sections of the ordinance. Section 1.4.3 states as an intent of the Ordinance, "To.facilitate the creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious community". The provision of this facility does increase the availability and convenience for users of wireless phone technology. It does not conflict with the goals of the Open Space Plan for establishment of a greenway corridor since this feature would be unlikely to traverse residential tots of the density found within Bellair Estates. Similarly, visual impacts tothe 29/250 By-pass are anticipated to be minimal based on the height and materials of the tower and heavy ~ree cover on site. Staff notes that the applicant was asked if collocation on existing towers in the area had been explored as an alternative to the new tower. The applicant responded that CFW Wireless' engineering studies indicate that the topography of this portion of the 29/250 By-pass is such that collocation on existing towers such as the one at. University Village or at Piedmont Tractor would be ineffective in improwng service to the area. Staff opinion is that this request complies with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance. with the uses permitted by ri~,ht in the district, The proposed tower will not restrict the current uses, other by-right uses available on this site or by-right uses on any other property. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordlnanee, Section 5.1.12 of the ordinance contains regulations governing tower facilities and appropriate conditions are proposed to ensure compliance with this provision of the ordinance. and with the public health, safety and general welfare. The provision of increased communication facilities may be considered consistent with the public health and safety and general welfare by providing increased communication services in the event of emergencies and increasing overall general communication services~ The Telecommunications Act addresses issues of environmental effects with the following language, "No state or local government or insmunentality thereof may regulate the placement construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions." In order to operate this facility, the applicant is required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions. This requirement will adequately protect the public health and safety. Reduction in setback in accord with the provisions of Section 4.10.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance Section 4.10.3.1 states: "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 or transmission towers and cables; smokestack, water tank, radio or television antenna or tower, provided that except as otherwise permitted by the commission in a specific case, no structure shall be located closer in distance to any lot line than the height of the structure; and, provided further that such structure shall not exceed one hundred (100) feet in height in a residential district. This height limitation shall not apply to any of the above designated structures now or hereafter located on existing public utility easements". By the requirements of this provision the proposed tower would need to be located a minimum of 90 feet from the edge of the property. The proposed tower is located approximately 15 feet from the closest property line, approximately 60 feet from the edge of pavement on the By-pass. Staff has discussed the location and proposed setback waiver with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and the latter has expressed no objections to the waiver. Staff opinion is tlmt this provision is designed to prevent undue crowding of the land and to prevent safety hazards should a tower fall. Historically, towers reviewed by the County are approved subject to a condition reqmring approval ora tower designed to collapse in the lease area in the event of structural failure. This condition protects the public safety. This provision is not possible with a wooden pole type tower. As staffdiscussed previously, however, there are no structures located nearby and no threat to human safety is anticipated. The applicant has indicated that the tower will be engineered to withstand winds of up to 100 miles per hour, a standard which probably exceeds the stability of the trees on site. Staff has historically supported requests for modification to allow towers to be located closer to the property line than the length of the height of the tower when no option to relocate exists, or impact or disturbance is reduced as a result of the waiver. Staffopinion is that the proposed location is desirable from an aesthetic standpoint, and the negatives of relocating the tower would outweigh the negatives of granting the setback waiver. Therefore, staffis able to support a reduction in the setback requirement. Section 704(a)(7)Co)(I)(IB of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The remalation of the placement, construction and modification of personai wireless facilities by any state or local government or instrumentality thereof shall not prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services. Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the provision Of personal wireless service. Staff opinion is that the County has no ban or policies that have the effect of banning personal wireless services or facilities and that decisions regard'rog the approval of facilities to provide service is done on a case-by-case basis. Staff offers as support for this statement the following evidence. Since 1990 the Board of Supervisors has acted on 16 requests andhas approved 12 oftheserequests. Staffdoesnot believe that the specialuse permit process nor the denial of this application has the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services. The applicant has not demonstrated that there are no other locations within the proposed area of service currently available for new tower construction. For this reason, staff does not believe that denial of this application would have the effect of prohibiting the provision of services. The applicant has worked with staffin an effort to identify any suitable location for collocation which would eliminate the need for construction ora tower. Collocation options for this site appear to have been exhausted. Alternate sites for the construction of a new tower have not been discussed. Waiver of a site plan in accord with the prowsions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. The text of Section 32.2.2 is attached. The Commission may waive the drawing of a site plan if requiring a site plan would not forward the purpose of the ordinance or otherwise serve the public interest. The site review committee has reviewed the request for a site plan waiver. Based on this review staff is unable to identify any purpose which would be served by requinng the submission ora site plan. Staffrecommends approval ora full site plan waiver subject to the following conditions: Should the area of disturbance exceed 10,000 square feet (including the access road), an erosion and sediment control plan shall be approved prior to the issuance of a building permit; 2. Issuance of Certificate of Appropriateness prior to final zoning approval. SUMMARY: Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to tiffs request: The tower will provide increased wireless capacity which may be considered consistent with the provisions of Sections 1.4, 1.4.4 and 1.5; 2. The tower will not restrict permitted uses on adjacent properties; 3. The tower may provide collocation oppommities in an area identified as not having substantial collocation options; 4. Access to the tower will be from exist'rog roads with a minor extension in the form of a graveled access easement; 5. Due to its location, construction type, and the existing tree cover on the lot, the tower will be minimally visible from the owner's residence or adjacent properties. Staff has identified the following factor which is unfavorable to this request: 1 A non-residential use will be introduced into an existing residential subdivision; 2. While collocation options have been exhausted, options for alternative sites have not been exhausted; 3. There is an existing reasonable use of the property. Staff opinion is that this request generally complies with the provisions of the ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. The options for collocation on adjacent poles has been exhausted. In the event that the Board chooses to deny this application staff offers the following comment: RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff opinion is that this request complies with the provisions of the ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. Although alternatives to installation of this rower exist, staff feels that negative impacts from the tower would be minor and such impacts are balanced by the benefits of increased wireless service. Therefore, staff supports this application and offers the following recommended conditions of approval. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1.

Site. Also, the length of all wooden poles will be to treetop level with the antennas mounted on a cross-member (see attached) and thc seven foot antennas will extend up above thc trcelops (sec attached photo sinmlation}. Thc seven loot fiberglass antenna we usc is a DB910CE-M Model, 1850-1990 Mhz. These are not Duel Polarized Diversity. We have to use twe, one to transmit and one to receive. According to the RF Engineers, for the PCS we need both antennas. These arc not the same antennas used with the 800-900 MHz Cellular system. As for the setbacks at the two sites you mentioned (Britts and Bellair), The poles will be placed iaside existing tall trees, the holes bored into the ground will be ora depth to provide stability IAW manufacture design specifications. Construction design assures this pole can with stand winds up to 100 mph. On the Britts Mtn. Site, me same tiling applies to keep the pole from falling onto the neighbors property to the south. As you can see in the photo simulations, this site is also in the middle of numerous large trees. This site cannot be moved north away from the property line any further without dropping rapidly in elevation and would be undesirable for construction and accessibility, and would require a longer pole. No one lives on this ridge. I know you will have more questions, but I hope this information helps clear up some of your concerns. We will not build something that will fall and cause harm to anyone or anything near it. ,Sincerely,/~ Mgr. Site Acquisition/Zoning __ ,..

THOMAS MARCH 3, 1998 APRIL 15, 1998 ZMA 97-10 THE STORAGE CENTER. L.C. (OWNER AND APPLICANT) Applicant's Proposal: - Rezoning of an existing parcel of land from C-1, Commercial, to HC, Highway Commercial. In a site development plan application submirted concurrently, the applicant indicates that the intended use is retail/office and air conditioned storage. Storage facilities are considered to be a light warehousing use, permitted under HC districts. Petition: Request to rezone approximately 0.948 acres from C-l, Commercial, to HC, Highway Commercial. The property, described as Tax Map 32, Parcel 37A1, is located on the west side of Route 29 North (Seminole TraiD approximately 1/4 mile south of the intersection with Ronte 649 (Airport Road) in the R. ivanna Magisterial District. It also is zoned EC, Entrance Corridor, and A1A, Airport Impact Area. The property is reconLmended for Regional Service in the Community of Hollymead in the Comprehensive Plan. Access to the property is from Route 29 North. Character of the Area: The east and west side of Route 29 North to the north and south of this parcel is a developing commercial area presently characterized by business establishments primarily oriented to serving Neighborhood and Community Service needs. RECOMMENDATION: Staffhas reviewed this application for conformance with the provisions of Titte 15.1, Article 8, Chapter 11 of the Code of Virginia 11997), as amended; Sections 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 of the Zoning Ordinance, and the Comprehensive Plan, and recommends approval, subject to the applicant's proffers. Planning and Zoning History_: C-l, Commercial, zoning for this parcel, which was combined with parcel 37A in [parent] parcel 37, was adopted in 1980. Prior to 1980, under the previous zoning ordinance, it was zoned Commercial Business. Comprehensive Plan: This area is recommended for Regional Service in the Land Use Plan, and lies within the Community o£Hollymead. In Table I: Non Residential Land Use Guidelines on page 31 of the Plan, the Purpose/Intent of the Regional Service designation is desaribed as, "Comparison shopping mad specialized goods and services." Table I describes Typical Primary Uses as, "Community service uses, plus: Major department store - Auto dealer ~ Mobile home sales - Motel/hotel - Hospital." The Land Use Plan contains a number of specific recommendations related to the Route 29 Corridor in the Community of Hollymead Profile (pp. 78-81), in the area designated Regional Service located to the south of the Airport Road intersection and across from Forest Lakes North, located to the south of this location: linkage between neighborhoods (including non-residential areas) through the use of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, greenways/linear parks, roads, and transit alternatives sensitivity of developmem plans along Route 29 North to its stares as an Entrance Corridor development along Route 29 North is to have controlled access to the roadway, which can be accomplished through joint entrances, collector roads parallel to 29, and internal roads phasing of road improvements necessitated by new development which increases traffic on Route 649, Route 606, and Route 29 provision of bicycle facilities and walkways in conjunction with all major road improvements potentially allowing public service facilities in the Community that are consistent with the Community Facilities Plan. The Transportation section of the Land Use Plan sets forth general design standards for roads on pages 178-179. The following standards are applicable to this request: Discourage direct access from individual lots to arterial and major collector roads. Utilize joint entrances, frontage roads, and side street access or other methods m reduce access points to adjacent properties on collector or arterial roads. Minimize the number of access points per parcel or development area to those necessary m provide safe and convenient access to and from the site· 10. Minimum desirable separation of street intersections is 1,000 feet for principle arterial roads and 800 feet for minor arterial and collector roads. Minimum desirable spacing for cross-overs (divided roads) is 1,300 feet for principle arterial and 1,000 feet for minor arterial and major collectors. Entrances shall be located either &'rectly across from a cross-over or at a minimum of SOO feet from a cross-over· [italics added for clarification] The proposal to rezone this parcel from C4 to HC generally is consistent with the above cited reconunendations and standards. The owner of parcel 37A, located to the south of this property, submitted a concurrent rezoning request (from C-1 to HC), which originally included direct access (in/out) to Route 29 at the south property line. The latter request (for parcel 37A) as submitted is not consistent with the recommendations and standards set forth in the Land Use Plan, and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has indicated that it 2 will not permit the entrance as proposed (Attachment D). As a result, the concurrently submitted rezoning request for parcel 37A has been deferred at the applicant's request to allow further discussion of the access issues. The Storage Center L.C. has indicated a willingness to make certain proffers addressing the access issue as it relates to both this parcel (37A1) and the adjacent parcel (37A) which would provide for shared use of the existing Storage Center access, thereby addressing the 500 foot emrance/cross-over requirement and limiting new access points in this section of Route 29. (See Attachment E) With proffers, staff finds that the Comprehensive Plan recommendations are adequately addressed and can recommend approval. ~ Staff has reviewed the proposal for any impac[s on nearby and surrounding properties, traffic, public utilities, and schools. No impact on nearby and surrounding properties is anticipated because the subject property is already commercially zoned (C-I), and the increased intensity resulting from HC represents a negligible impact. Public utilities are available, and due to the commercial nature of the proposed development, no impact to schools is anticipated. As discussed above~ one of the recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan for the Community of Hoilymead concerns controlling access to Route 29 North. As indicated in the joint site development plan for this parcel and the Valente property to the south (submitted separately), a new access to 29 from the southern parcel is proposed. In its letter of December 10, 1997, VDOT states that it will not permit the southern most proposed (two way) access due to its proximity to the operational area of the existing signalized intersection. The Plan recommends limited access points along this section of Route 29 North, and the existing access serving this parcel could also serve the parcel(s) to the south, especially since the site plan application indicates that cooperative parking approval will be requested from the Commission at a later date. Cooperative parking would allow circulation from parcel to parcel, throughout the entire site, providing for tmrestric~ed movement and use of the existing access. The southern parcel might be alternatively accessed from the parcel to its south (currently under the same ownership) or from a future service road located to the west (see road project discussion below). Staff does have concerns about the timing of this request relative to the fact that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is currently undertaking a major planning and design effort affecting the section of Route 29 North immediately above (north of) the northern terminus of the western by-pass. As described to staff, this effort involves three major components: 1) widening of the highway to add additional north and south bound lanes; 2) closure of all or most access points to the highway from properties located on the east and west sides of 29, with the exception of a few designated intersections (possibly two or three); and, 3) construction of paratlel service roads east and west of the highway, to replace the direct access to 29 with access at a few designated locations. In this area, early versions of VDOT plans indicate the possibility of closing the signalized intersection at Forest Lakes North, with 3 all ~raffic accessing properties adjacent to the highway rerouted east to Worth Crossing and west to a proposed new service road which would align with the rear (western) property tine of this parcel and take access from Route 649 or even Route 606. Both the widening and proposed service road could potentially take significant portions of this parcel, leaving its final dimensions unclear and its usable acreage substantially reduced. If the service road were constructed, and direct access to Route 29 North were closed, the "front" of the property could be re-oriented 180 degrees to face the west. As previously mentioned, improvemem planning to this section of Route 29 North is in its earliest stages, and in fact no adopted plan exists nor is one expected at a date certain. Representatives from VDOT are scheduled to meet with the Board of Supervisors in March to present and discuss the proposed plan. Staff anticipates that this project will generate very substantial public comment, and may undergo major changes. Deletion of components such as the service roads, or reinstatement of some or all access points to 29, may occur. Staff anticipates that the widening element will occur, no matter what other changes result from the review process, but even its final alignment has not yet been determined. Although it would be preferable to consider this rezoning request in the context of complete information on future road improvements, the timetable for final road plans is so uncertain that this does not appear to be possible. SUMMARY: Section 33.9 of the Zoning Ordinance states that a proposed zoning map amendment (ZMA, rezoning) shall be reviewed in regard to section 1.4., Purpose and Intent; 1.5, Relationship to Environment; and 1.6, Relationship to Comprehensive Plan; of the Ordinance, which have been adopted pursuant to the provisions of Title 15.1, Chapter 11, Article 4, Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. The relationship to and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan [Land Use Plan] was discussed earlier in this report. Section 1.4 and 1.5 are discussed below. Staff finds that this proposal promotes the intent of the following section: 1.4.7 "To encourage economic development activities that provide desirable employment and enlarge the tax base; (Amended 9-9-92);" Because of the transportation planning currently ~n process, and staff's inability to adequately evaluate impacts to this property from that effort due to lack of an approved plan, this proposal does not fully support the intent of the following sections: 1.4.4 "To facilitate the provision of adequate... transportation .... ;" 1.5 "This ordinance is designed to treat lands which are similarly situated and environmemally similar in like manner with reasonable consideration for.., the trends of growth or change, the current and future land and water requirements of the community for various purposes as determined by population and economic studies and other studies, the transportation requirements of the community,.. 4" However, the circumstances surrounding this transportation planning effort are such that neither staff, the applicant, or VDOT can accurately anticipate when the final road plans may be approved, and thus staff believes that review of the project should proceed. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of this request with proffers.

Thomas Senior Planner SET, cf STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: SUSAN E. THOMAS MARCH 3, 1998 APRIL 15, 1998 ZMA 97-13 ANTHONY VALENTE (OWNER AND APPLICANT, ANTHONY D. AND MARY K. VALENTE) Applicant's Proposal: Rezoning of an existing parcel of land from C-l, Commercial, to HC, Highway Commercial, to be consistent with a current rezoning request for the adjacent parcel [The Storage Center], TM 32 Parcel 37A1 ]. tn a site development plan application submitted concurrently, the applicant indicates that the intended use is retail stores. (See Attachment C) Petition: Request to rezone approximately 0.82 acres from C-I, Commercial, to HC, Highway Commercial. The property, described as Tax Map 32, Parcel 37A, is located on the west side of Route 29 North (Seminole Trail) approximately 1/4 mile south of the intersection with Route 649 (Airport Road) in the Rivauna Magisterial District. It also is zoned EC, Entrance Corridor, and AIA, Airport Impact Area. The property is recommended for Regional Service in the Community of Hollymead in the Comprehensive Plan. Access to the property is f~om Route 29 North. Character of the Area: The east and west side of Route 29 North to the north and south of this parcel is a developing commercial area presently characterized by business establishments primarily oriented to serving Neighborhood and Community Service needs. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this application for conformance with the provisions of Title 15.1, Article 8, Chapter 11 of the Code of Virginia (1997), as amended; Sections 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 of the Zoning Ordinance, and the Comprehensive Plan, and recommends approval, subject to the applicant's proffers. Planning and Zoning History: C-l, Commercial, zoning for this parcel, which was combined with parcel 37A1 in [parent] parcel 37, was adopted in 1980. Prior to 1980, under the previous zoning ordinance, it was zoned Commercial Business. Comp__Lehensive Plan_: This area is recommended for Regional Service in the Land Use Plan, and lies within the Community of Hollymead. In Table I: Non Residential Land Use Guidelines on page 31 of the Plan, the Purpose/Intent of the Regional Service designation is described as, "Comparison shopping and specialized goods and services." Table I describes Typical Primary Uses as, "Community service uses, plus: Major depamnent store - Auto dealer - Mobile home sales - Motel/hotel - Hospital." The Land Use Plan contains a number of specific recommendations related to the Route 29 Corridor in the Community of Hollymead Plan, in the area designated for Regional Service located to the south of rite Airport Road intersection and across from Forest Lakes North, located to the south of this location: linkage between neighborhoods (including non-residential areas) through the use of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, greenways/linear parks, roads, and transit alternatives sensitivity of development plans along Route 29 North to its status as an Entrance Corridor development along Route 29 North is to have controlled access m the roadway, which can be accomplished through joint entrances, collector roads parallel to 29, and internal roads phasing of road improvements necessitated by new development which increases traffic on Route 649, Route 606, and Route 29 provision of bicycle facilities and walkways in conjunction with all major road improvements potentially allowing public service facilities in the Community that are consistent with the Community Facilities Plan. The proposal to rezone this parcel from C-1 to HC generally is consistent with the recommendations in the Land Use Plan outlined above, with the exception of controlled access to Route 29 North. The applicant has indicated a willingness to make certain proffers addressing this issue, as discussed below. (See Attachment D) With proffers, staff finds that the Comprehensive Plan recommendations are adequately addressed and can recommend approval. Staff Comment: Staff has reviewed the proposal for any impacts on nearby and surrounding properties, traffic, public utilities, and schools. No impact on nearby and surrounding properties is anticipated because the subject properties are already commercially zoned (C-l), and the increased intensity resulting from HC represents a negligible impact. In fact, parcel 37A does not require a rezoning to develop the retail stores indicated on the applicant's site plan. The applicant has requested a rezoning m be consistent the requested rezoning of parcel 37A1, which does require the HC district to construct a storage facility [light warehousing]. Public utilities are available, and due to the commercial nature of the proposed development, no impact to schools is anticipated. As mentioned above, one of the recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan for the Community of Hollymead concerns controlling access to Route 29 North. As indicated in the joint site development plan for this parcel and the Shields property to the north (submitted separately), a new access to 29 from this, the southern parcel, was originally proposed. In its letter of December 10, 1997, VDOT states that it will not permit the southern most proposed access due to its proximity to the operational area of the existing signalized intersection. (See Attachment E) An existing, shared access between the Amoco property and the Shields property to the north could serve this southern parcel, however, especially since the applicants have indicated in the joint site plan that they will petition the Planning Commission for cooperative parking approval [this request is scheduled for a later date]. Cooperative parking would provide circulation from parcel to pamel, throughout the entire site, providing unrestricted movement from parcel to parcel. The southern parcel can be alternatively accessed from the parcel to its south (currently under the same ownership) or from a future service road located m the west (see road project discussion below). Although staff has concerns about any access m this site from Route 29 North, the applicant is strongly committed to maintaining at least an ingress and has met with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to discuss the feasibility of a design of this type. VDOT has verbally indicated that an ingress may be acceptable, if it can be engineered to function safely and effectively in view of the elements of the development plan for this site and the need to allow access to the parcel to the south. County and VDOT staff have concerns about allowing any access from Route 29 North to the second Valente parcel located immediately to the south of this one, at the intersection with Timberwood Boulevard on the west side of 29. The applicant is working with staff to provide proffers that will address the ingress-only limitation, the provision of access to parcels to the north and south, and the provision of sole access from Route 29 North to the parcel to the south. These proffers were not available in f'mal form at the time of preparation of this report but shall be presented to the Commission at the scheduled meeting. Staff also has concerns about the timing of this request relative to the fact that VDOT is currently undertaking a major planning and design effort affecting the section of Route 29 North immediately above (north of) the northern terminus of the western by-pass. As described to staff, this effort involves three major components: 1) widening of the highway to add additional north and south bound lanes; 2) closure of all or most access potnts to the highway from properties located on the east and west sides of 29, with the exception of a few designated intersections (possibly two or three); and, 3) construction of parallel service roads east and west of the highway, to replace the direct access to 29 with access at a few designated locations. In this area, early versions of VDOT plans indicate the possibility of closing the signalized intersection at Forest Lakes North, with all traffic accessing properties adjacent to the highway rerouted east to Worth Crossing and west m a proposed new service road which would align with the rear {western) property line of this parcel and take access from Route 649 or even Route 606. Both the widening and proposed service road could potentially take significant portions of this pamel, leaving its final dimensions unclear and its usable acreage substantially reduced. If the service road were constructed, and direct access to Route 29 North were closed, the "front" of the property could be re-oriented 180 degrees to face the west. As previously mentioned, improvement planning to this section of Route 29 North is in its earliest stages, and in fact no adopted plan exists nor is one expected at a date certain. In fact, the proposed plan has not yet been presented to the Board of Supervisors for their review and comment, although VDOT representatives are scheduled m meet with the Board in March for 3 this purpose. Staff anticipates that this project wilt generate very substantial public comment, and may undergo major changes. Deletion of components such as the service roads, or reinstatement of some or all access points to 29, may occur. Staff anticipates that the widening element will occur, no matter what other changes result from the review process, but even its final alignment has not yet been determined. Although it would be preferable to consider this rezoning request in the context of complete information on future road improvements, the timetable for final road plans is so uncertain that this does not appear to be possible. SUMMARY: Section 33.9 of the Zoning Ordinance states that a proposed zoning map amendment (ZMA, rezoning) shall be reviewed in regard to section 1.4., Purpose and Intent; 1.5, Relationship to Environment; and 1.6, Relationship to Comprehensive Plan; of the Ordinance, which have been adopted pursuant to the provisions of Title 15.1, Chapter 11, Article 4, Code of Virgima, 1950, as amended. The relationship to and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan [Land Use Plan] was discussed earlier in this report. Section 1.4 and 1.5 are discussed below. Staff finds that this proposal promotes the intent of the following section: 1.4.7 "To encourage economic development activities that provide desirable employment and enlarge the tax base; (Amended 9-9-92);" Because of the transportation planning currently in process, and staff's inability to adequately evaluate impacts to this property from that effort due to lack of an approved plan, this proposal does not fully support the intent of the following sections: 1.4.4 "To facilitate the provision of adequate.. transportation,...;" 1.5 "This ordinance is designed to treat lands which are similarly situated and environmentally similar in like manner with reasonable consideration for.., the trends of growth or change, the current and future land and water requirements of the community for various purtx)ses as determined by population and economic studies and other studies, the transportation requirements of the community,...;" However, the circumstances surrounding this transportation planning effort are such that neither staff, the applicant, or VDOT can accurately anticipate when the final road plans may be approved, and thus staff believes that review of the project should proceed. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of this request with proffers.

The site consists of approximately 2.3 acres which is currently zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development but is proposed to be rezoned with ZMA 98- 04. This area is recommended for Urban Density Residential (6 to 34 dwelling units per acre~ in Neighborhood 1. Character of the Area: This site is the currem location of the Atlantic Coast Athletic Club. The site includes a building, parking and outdoor recreation (tennis courts, basketball courts and swimming pool). A stormwater management pond. is located adjacent to the site. The site is located centrally within the Four Seasons development which includes patio homes, townhomes and apartments. RECOMMENDATION: Staffhas reviewed the rezoning request and is able to support the request to amend the designation of this area to include additional uses with the acceptance of the applicant's proffers. Staff has reviewed the special use permit request and is able to recommend approval. Planning and Zoning History: The history of the Four Seasons development is incomplete as files pertaining to the development were submitted to the court during litigation and not returned. One purpose of this rezoning as to clarify the zoning on the property and establish a clear record of use. The Four Seasons development was originally approved in 1969. At that time the area currently under review was designated as "major recreation". Various approvals have taken place which have resulted in the current Athletic Club use. TWO special use permits, SP 80-23 and SP 81-31. were approved for a day ~are at this site, with a maximum enrollment of 175 children. The approvals for ii ~day care have expired. Comnrehensive Plan: This area is recommended for Urban Density Residential [6 to 34 dwelling units per acre.] No other comment is contained in the Comprehensive Plan which provides guidance in the review of this application, STAFF COMMENT: Review of ZMA 98-04 The zoning ordinance eomains specific guidelines for the review of planned Developmems. Staff will address each applicable provision of the ordinance. This review is limited to the change in the designated use of this portion of the existing Four Seasons planned Developmem. Discussion of the special use permit will occur later in the report. 8.5.4 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS At such time as further conferences appear unnecessary, or at any time on request of the applicant, the commission shall proceed to prepare its recommendations to the board of supervisors. The date of the commission's determination to proceed, or of the applicant's request for preparation of recommendations, shall be deemed the formal date of submission of the application. Specifically, recommendations of the commission shall include findings as to; The suitability of the tract for the general type of PD district proposed in terms of: relation to the comprehensive plan; physical characteristics of thc land; and its relation to surrounding area; The proposed amendment to allow day care is consistent with previous special use permit reviews and approvals for this site. The applicant has proffered to limit the size of any day care on this site to fiae same level as has been previously approved for.this property. The currem use of the site as a,Health Club is more intensive than any of the proposed uses of the site. Therefore this request will not result in change inthe residential character of the area. b. Relation to major roads, utilities, public facilities and services: This proposal will have no greater impact than previously approved for the site. Therefore. this request is consistent with this prowsion of the ordinance. Adequacy of evidence on unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements, contracts, deed restrictions, sureties, dedications, contributions. guarantees, or other instruments, or the need for such instruments or for amendments in those proposed; and The applicant has demons~ated un/fled control of the propervy. Therefore, this request is consistent with this provision of the ordinance. do Specific modifications in PD or general regulations as applied to the particular ease, based on determination that such modifications are necessary or justified by demonstration that the public purposes of PD or general regulations as applied would be satisfied to at least an equivalent degree by such modifications. No modification of ordinance provisions has been requested by the applicant, SUMMARY OF ZMA 98-04: The proposed zoffmg amendment largely clarifies the permitted usesofthe property while adding some uses. The proposed day care use was previously approved on this site and staff can identify no change since those approvals which would indicate that day care on this site would not again be appropriate. [Other uses proposed are public type uses.] Staffis not able to identify any negative factors Review of SP 98-01. Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board of Sunervisors hereby reserves unto itself the ri eht to issue all snecial use permits permitte~t hereunder. S_~ecial use permits for Uses as orovided in ~is ordinance may be issued upon a finding bv the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adiacem prooerty. The proposed school will be at this site for only three years and will make use of the existing facilities. The applicant will stop use of the. school no later than June 30, 2001. lit is anticipated that the school will be at this site no longer than two years. However, the applicant has requested that approval be granted for three years m insure that a new site will be ready before this special use penmt expires.] No changes to the exterior of the site are proposed other than signage. The proposed hours of usage are 8:30 am to 2:30 pm with a before school program starting at 7:30 pm and an after school program mrmmg until 6:00 pm. These hours of use are less than the current health club. The proposed maximum enrollment is 180 students and will be in grades K-6. While this is a substantial enrollment staff opinion is that the impact will be no greater than created by the current use of the site. Based on the existing use of the site staff opinion is that use of the site for a school will not be a substantial detrimem to adjacent property. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby, No change in the site is proposed. The hours of operation are less intensive than the current use. Therefore. staff opinion is that the character of the district will not be changed. and that such use will be in harmony with the pumose and intent of this ordinance Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the ordinance with particular emphasis on Sections 1.4, 1.4.4, and 1.5 which state: 1.4 PURPOSE~ ~ This ordinance, insofar as is practicable, is intended to be in accord with and to implement the Comprehensive Plan of Albemarle County adopted pursuant to the provisions of Title 15.1, Chapter 11, Article 4, Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and has the purposes and intent set forth in Title 15.1, Chapter 11, Article 8. As set forth in section 15.1-427 of the Code, this ordinance is intended to improve public health, safety, convenienceand welfare of citizens of Albemarle County, Virginia. and to plan for the future development of communities to the end that transportation systems be carefully planned; that new community centers be developed with adequate highway, utility, health, educational and recreational facilities; that the needs of agriculture, industry and business be recognized in future growth: that residential areas be provided with healthy surroundings for family life; that agricultural and forestal land be preserved: and that the growth of the community be consonant with the efficient and economical use of public funds. Therefore be it ordained by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, for the purposes of promoting the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the public and of planning for the future development of the community, that the zoning ordinance of Albemarle County, together with the official zoning map adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance, is designed: 1.4.4 To facilitate the provision of adequate police and f'we protection, disaster evacuation, civil defense, n'ansportafion, water, sewerage, flood protection. schools, parks, forests, playgrounds, recreational fac'dities, airports and other public requirements; 1.5 RELATION TO ENVIRONMENT This ordinance is designed to treat lands which are s'nnilarly situated and environmentally similar in like manner with reasonable consideration for the existing use and character of properties, the Comprehensive Plan. the suitability of property for various uses, the trends of growth or change, the current and future land and water requirements of the community for various purposes as determined by population and economic studies and other studies, the transportation requirements of the community, and the requirements for airports, housing, schools, parks, playgrounds, recreation areas and other public services; for the conservation of natural resources; and preservation of flood plains, the preservation of agricultural and forestal land, the conserv~ation of properties and their values and the encouragement of the most appropriate use of land throughout the county. Private schools, like churches, are considered to be uses which support the moral fiber of a commumty. They are permitted in residential zoning districts after review of the relationship of the proposed use to the residential area and surrounding uses. Staff opinion is that this request is consistent with the purpose and intent of the ordinance as it provides for additional educational oppormulties. with the uses permitted bv right in the district. The adjacent development includes single family attached dwellings, multi-family dwellings; Private schools, at appropriate locations are considered generally to be in harmony with the uses permitted in multifamily residential areas. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance. Section 5.0 contains no additional regulations. and with the public health, safety_ and general welfare. Traffic generated by a school will peak in the morning and afternoons with limited traffic during the day and little if any evemng traffic. The current use has a peak in the morning and afternoon but also has substantial traffic volumes during the da5 and in the evening. The school traffic is not anticipated to be any more intense than the traffic to the health club during the summer months when the outdoor recreational uses are in use. Staff is unable to identify any conflict with the public health, safety or general welfare which will be caused by this use. SUMMARY OF SP 98-01: Staff opinion is that this request is m compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the ordinance and no negative factors have been identified. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staffrecommends approval of ZMA 98-04. Should the Board choose to approve this request staff recommendsacceptance of the applicant's proffers, Staff is able to support the request for a private school as it is in compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the ordinance. Therefore, staff recommends approval of SP 98-01 subject to the following condition: Maximum enrollmem will be t80 students; Hours of operation Shall be 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Site shall not be used as a school after June 30, 2001. ATTACHMENTS: A - Location Map B - Tax Map C - Applicant's information D - Applicant's proffer ASZMA9804.RPT C i:VILLE'.

Urban density residential. How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property? As the proposed use does not require any new construction or other exterior changes at this site (except signage), nor proposes to intensi~ the current use of the property, the proposed use will not negatively affect adjacent properties. In fact, the proposed temporary private school will have a very positive effect on the surrounding neighborhood, because the school will generate significantly leas Ua.fflc during the school year than the present occupant produces, and will generate little if any traffic during the summer months. Notwithstanding ~_the approval of this Application, the property owner, ACAC, will continue to offer some fitness training, operate the outddor pool and tennis courts, and conduct its youth summer camps. Nevertheless, the fitness ~ralnmg will be limited, the pool and youth camps will be in operation during the summer months when the school is closed (although there may be a brief Overlap during the late spring and early fall), and the tennis courts, which will only be available ~/hen the weather permits, will generate very little traffic. The decreased activity at this site wilt surely please adjoining landowners.' How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district surrounding the property? The proposed use will enhance the character of the surrounding district. No extenor construction or modifications to the property.-(except signage) are necessary so there will be no visible change to the property.. There will be, however, one very visible change resulting from this special use: sigmficantly less activity and less traffic. As the school anticipates matriculating only 120-180 (approx.) students at this temporary school, and the school will not be open in the sunumer, the school will be a very quiet, compatible neighbor to the surrounding PUD district. How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance? According to §1.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, the intent of the Ordinance is to improve public health, safety, convenience and welfare of citizens of Albemarle County, Virginia, and to plan for the future development of communities to the end . . that new community centers be developed with adequate . . . educational facilities .... "With respect to this application, the Ordinance requires the Board of Supervisors to both provide educational resources to the community, and protect the interests of citizens who own property near a proposed school location. The special use proposed for this property permits the Board of Supervisors to accomplish both tasks. The proposed use will provide a vital educational resource to many citizens of Albemarle County, without j enpardizing the interests of landowners in the surrounding district. In fact, the private school will enhance the character of the surrounding district. Therefore, the proposed use is m harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. SPECIAL USE APPLICATION FILED BY THE CI-IkRLO1TESVILLE CATHOLIC SCHOOL J ATTACHlqENT C I [Page 41 Description of Request: The Charlottesville Catholic School requests a Special Use Permit to operate a temporary private school (kindergarten,through 6th grade) from fall 1998 through spring 2000. The school would lease approximately 7,000square feet in the existing Atlantic Coast Athletic Club (ACAC) building (which is approximately 20,000 square feet). It is anticipated thi~ tempora~ private school will matriculate 120 students'in its first year and 180 in its second. There will not be any classes held during the summer. The normal hours of operation will be from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm; however, the school will provide a before school program that begins at 7:30 am and after school program which ends at 6:00 pm. Applicant wishes to make certain, however, that the presently permitted use of this property for a'recreational facility/health club will not be jeopardized by this application. Although the property owner, ACAC, will vacate most of the existing building, it will continue to offer some fitness~ training and operate the outdoor pool and tennis courts. Note, however, that the fitness training will be extremely limited, the pool will only be open during the snmmer when the school is dosed, and. the tennis conrm, which will only be available when the weather permits, will generate very little traffic. When the school's lease expires, ACAC may reoccupy the entire facility and resume its use of the facility for a health club. Justification for request: The only use presently permitted at this site is a recreational facility. While the Charlottesville Catholic School pursues a permanent location, it needs a temporary location, and this site is ideal because it is located near many of the students, and the proposed lease area will meet the school's growing needs. Sixty-seven students are presently enrolled in the Charlottesville Catholic School, and because of the significant Catholic population in Albemarle County and surrounding areas, the school expects its student body to grow. The '1998 and 1999 student body projections indicate the school will soon exceed the capacity of its present location at 301-B East Jefferson Street. ZONING MAP AMENDMENT APPLICATION FILED BY THE CHARLO'ITESVILLE CATHOLIC SCHOOL ~'~-J What public need or benefit does this rezoning serve? This rezoning will provide a temporary location for a private Catholic school (kindergarten through 6th grade) which meets the educational and extra-curricular needs Of many residents of Albemarle County and ~urrounding communities, who wish to have their children receive both a secular and religious education. The reZonlng will also permit the property owner, the Atlantic Coast Athletic Club, to utilize this property for certain commercial office purposes, in addition to or in place of the recreational facility/health club use which is already permitted at this site, thereby providing valuable services to the residents of Albemarle. What impact will there be on theCounty's natural, scenic and historic resources? As this application does not propose any new construction or other exterior changes at this site. there will not be any unpact on the County's natural, scenic or historic resources. On the contrary, a temporary private school will have a very positive affect on the surrounding neighborhood, ,because the school will generate significantly less traffic during the school year than the present occupant produces, and will generate little ff any tra~c during the summer months. Although the property, owner, ACAC, will continue to offer some fitness training and operate the outdoor pool and tennis courts, the fitness training will be extremely limited, the pool will only be open during the summer when the school is dosed, and the tennis courts, which will only be available when the weather permits, will generate very little traffic. When the school's lease expires, ACAC may reoccupy the entire facility and resume its use of the facility for ahealth club, or use it for another permitted commerdal office use. As the recreational facility is already permitted and in operation at this site, and because the permitted commercial office uses would create an impact lesser than or equal to that of the health club, the proposed rezoning will not impact the County's resources. Describe your request in detail including why you are requesting this particular zoning district. The only use presently permitted at this site is a recreational facility. The Charlottesville Catholic desires to have the property rezoned in order to lease approximately 7,000 square feet in the existing 20,000 square foot building which is approximately 20,000 square feet to operate a temporary private school (kindergarten through 6th grade) from the fall 1998 through spring 2000. It is anticipated this temporary private school will matriculate 120 students in its first year and 180 in its second. The normal hours of operation will be from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm; however, the school will provide a before school program that be~m at 7:30 am and after school program which ends at 6:00 pm. Although ACAC will vacate most of the building, it will continue to offer limited fitness training and operate the outdoor pool and tennis courts. When the Charlottesville Catholic School's lease expires in 2000, ACAC hopes m continue operating a recreation center and/or lease the building for administrative, business or professional offices. To this I ATTACHIqENT end, the applicant requests a rezonmg to PUD with commercial office designation. All permitted commercial office uses, except for a private school, and administrative, business and professional offices, are being proferred. Tha applicant wishes to make certain; however, that the presently permitted use of this property for a recreational facility/health club will not be jeopardized by this application. When the school's lease expires, ACAC plan~ to either reoccupy the entire building and resume its use of the facility for a health club, or make the property available for certain commercial office uses.

The only use presently permitted at this site is a commercial recreational facility. The proposed use ~s in harmony with the present use, because the proposed use of a temporary Catholic School wilt not require any exterior construction or modification to the property (other than signage), and w/ll, in fact, decrease traffic and activity at this site. With respect to the surrounding PUD district. pursuant to § 20.3.I.7 of the Ordinance public schools are permitted by right in PUD's. The proposed private school will only be temporary, and will be much smaller in scope than a public school thereby generating significantly less traffic and activity than a public school. Therefore. the proposed use is in harmony with uses permitted by right in the district. What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply to this use? None. How will this use promote the public health, safety, :and general welfare of the community? The proposed special use will provide a temporary location for a private Catholic school (kindergarten through 6th grade) which meets the educational and exlra-curricular needs of many residents of Albemarle County and surrounding, communities, who wish to have their children receive both a secular and religious education.

Box 6569, Charlottesville, VA 22906 To: Albemarle County Planning Commission From: Board of Directors, Four Seasons Patio Home Assodation Last week Mr. Rnssmoore and Ms. Parker met with Ils. Williams and Ms. liarcell, presidents of the Four Seasons Townhouse Association and Four Seasons Pado Home Association, respectively. They had a productive meeting, at which Mr. Rnssmoore and lis. Parker agreed to alter the request you are considering tonight in such a way as to ease concerns over the use of the ACAC property after the school lease is over. in considering the impact of the Catholic School at the AC. AC site, we reviewed a number of pending projects that are affecdng our neighborhood in general. These projects are the responsibility of as many different governmental agencies, and yet are inevitably dependent upon each other. We are concerned that the responsible agendes do not seem to be working together and aware of the impact each project has on the others. It is our hope that the Planning Commission can play a coordinating role in informing the agencies of our concerns. First of all, VDOT's Rio Road widening project will gready influence the traffic patterns next year while the construction is going on. The traffic along the south end of Four Seasons Drive (past the driveway of the ACAC property) will greatly increase as the neighborhood avoids Rio Road congestion by using the Commonwealth-Avenue access route. However, once the construction is over and Rio Road access is available, we are concerned that Four Seasons Drive officially have two exit lanes at the north end. This apparendy is under the province of the County, and is not part of the Rio Road project. Four Seasons Drive now has an informal two-lane exit, but the street is not wide enough for these two lanes to be painted. We have urged the County to widen the exit of Four Seasons Drive at the time of the Rio Road project, but have not been successful in our efforts. We appreciate Fir. Fritz' recent contac[ with the County Transportation Planner, who is now looking into this mac, er. We are also concerned about, the ponds which adjoin the AC. AC property as well as our own. These ponds will be taking all the gu~ter run-off from Rio Road, which will greatly increase the amount of water entering the ponds. The ponds are currendy so badly silted and algae-filled that last summer the small pond at least was largely stagnant and unsightly. It simply did not function as it is supposed to. The Rivanna Water Authority has been planning to dredge the ponds for some dine, and supposedly is going to be dredging this spring. We would like some assurance that this project is on schedule so that the ponds will be ready to absorb the extra water from the Rio Road widening, and return to their healthy, functioning, and attractive state.

Tucker, Davis AGENDA DATE: April 15, 1998 ACTION: CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: X ATTACHMENTS: REVIEWED BY: ITEM NUMBER: INFORMATION: INFORMATION: Ordi~e~ 24, 1998 BACKGROUND: Section 37.0 of the zoning ordinance establishes the penalty for zoning violations. The section currently provides, among other things, that each day a zoning violation continues is a separate offense. In Lawless v. County of Chesterfield, 21 Va. App. 495 (1995), the Virginia Court of Appeals held that localities were not enabled to make each day's violation of a zomng ordinance a separate offense. In 1997, the General Assembly responded to Lawless by amending former section 15.1-491 (now, section 15.2-2286(A)(5)) of the Code of Virginia to address the penalties for a zoning violator's continuing failure to comply with the zoning ordinance. DISCUSSION: Section 37.0 currently provides, among other things, that each day a zoning violation continues is a separate offense. /~ amended, section 37.0 would implement section 15.2-2286(A)(5) and require the court to order a violator to abate any zoning violalion e~ng at the time of conviction and to correct the violation within a specified period of time. The failure of the violator to correct the violation within the time set by the court, and each thirty day period thereafter that the violation is not corrected, would conslitute a separate misdemeanor offense. The penalty for each violation would be a fine of not less than ten dollars ($10.00) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). RECOMMENDATION: Because effective enforcement of the zoning ordinance should be improved by the amendment to section 37.0, it is recommended that ZTA 98-01 be approved. 98.050 e COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Dept. of Planning & Community Development 401 Mclntire Road Charlottesville.

The applicant's description and justification for the use are included in Attachment A. Petition: To expand a Class B-Home Occupation on 4.6 acres zoned PA, Rural Areas. The property, described as Tax Map 80 - Parcel 74C, is located offDeer Bonn Lane -Route 842 in the Rivanna Magisterial .District. This area is not in a designated Development Area (Rural Area 2 ). Attachment B & C Character of the Area: This property is developed with a single family dwelling and a shed. Access to the property is directly off Deer Bonn Lane - Route 842. Route 842 is an unpaved road ('.3 mile in length) serving ten homes with 95 average daily trips. This road is not scheduled for improvements in the County's Six Year Secondary Road Plan. The immediate area can be described as rural residential in character: RECOMMENDATION: Staffhas reviewed the special use permit for compliance with provisions of Section 5.2 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval. Planning and Zoning History: In 1990 the applicant was granted a Home Occupation Class A for a janitorial and lawn care business. In 1997, the applicant was granted a Home Occupation Class B for a.lawn care/landscaping business. The conditions of approval for that special use permit are: 1. No more than three trucks and three trailers parked on site. 2. No more than one additional employee not related to family permitted on site. 3. No storage of gas, oil, fertilizer, or chemicals on site. No outside storage of equipment, supplies/materials related to landscape business, including trailers noted above. "Storage" shall mean the keeping of more than afire gallon quantity of material. 4. No repairs of equipment other than routine operational maintenance(oil change, blade replacement, and the like). Operation of equipment in association with routine maintenance is only allowed between the hours of lO:O0 a.m. and 8:00 p. m. 5. Area used to conduct of the Home Occupation shall not exceed 1,800 square feet. Condition #2 was to limit the number of employees to one besides the resident. This request is to allow an additional employee. 1 of 4 Comprehensive Plan: This area is tocated in the Rural Areas as designated, in the Comprehensive Plan. This location is not identified in the Open Space as requiring particular attention. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all s~ecial trqe permits permitted hereunder. Special use permits for use as provided in this ordinance may be issued u~on a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. Staffis reviewing this proposal based on the changes from prior approval. The only change is in the residential status of one family member who is now considered an employee. Therefore, two addl'tional vehicle trips will be generated by this change(One trip in the morning and one trip leaving in the evening). The impact of expanding this Home Occupation Class B will cause a minor increase in traffic. Virginia Department of Transportation comments can be found on Attachment D. VDOT does not anticipate significant impact to the road. VDOT is recommending the applicant upgrade the entrance to the property to commercial standards. This upgrade would allow two vehicles to pass through the entrance at one time. Staff recommended denial of the applicant's request for a Home Occupation Class B last year mainly due the increase in traffic, increased in noise and other impacts related to equipment/supply storage, and change in visual character. (See previous staff report Attachment E). These impacts were considered inconsistent with the intent of Home Occupation Class B use. In finding that these impacts were not significant, the Board approved the applicant at that t'mae. The applicant is requesting one additional employee. This additional employee is the son of the applicant. The son lived at home during the 1997 Home Occupation Class B approval. The son no longer lives at the home and, therefore, must be considered an employee rather than an occupant of the home. The applicant has already been granted approval for three tracks and trailers which will not change with this request. (The Build'rog and Zoning Department has investigated this business due to complaints. A violation of SP9640 condition #2 was found. It was shown that on several occasions, the number of employees on site exceeded one. As a result, the applicant was notified to cease and desist by official notice of violation dated January 16th. Staff'is not aware of farther violation of this condition.) Staff has received a letter of opposition from a neighbor to this special use permit petition (Attachment P). that the character of the district will not be changed thereby. The site is located in the Rural Area. No significant changes in the character of the larger district are anticipated based on one additional employee and associated traffic. 2 of 4 that such use will be in harmony with purpose and intent of this ordinance. Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the Ordinance as stated in Section 1.4, 1.5, and 1,6 and believes this use meets the intent regarding the additional employee. with the uses permitted by tight on any ad_iacent property_ This request will not affect uses permitted by fight on any adjacem property. The use is not anticipated to negatively affect agricultural/forestry use in the area based on the one additional employee and associated vehicle trips. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this Ordinance Section 5.2 contains regulations for Home Occupations (Attachment G). Staffhas reviewed this request for compliance with these regulations and finds the proposed change consistent with these regulations. and with the public health, safety, and general welfare. VDOT classifies all general road as non-tolerable or tolerable. This.proposal will increase traffic (by 2 vtpd) on a non-tolerable general road. VDOT has indicated that it does not anticipate significant impact to the road from this additional traffic. By condition of this SP, a commercial entrance will be provided at this property. SUMMA_RY. Staffhas identified the following factors which are favorable to this request: 1. The additional employee will not increase activity associated with the Home Occupation or significantly increase traffic; 2. The additional employee is a former resident ofthe home, and has been, therefore, previously associated with the home occupation; 3. There will be no change in the appearance of the residence. Staff was unable to identify any negative factors associated with this request. 3 of 4 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval Of SP-97-56 Angus An'ington Home Occupation - Class B for thc addition of one employee. If the Commission is to act favorably on the request, staff recommends the following additional conditions of approval (New conditions underlined): 1. VDOT avoroval of commercial entrance. 2. The applicant shall have no more than three Irucks with Foss vehicle weight not to exceed 20.000 lbs. per vehicle and three trailers parked on site. 3. No more than two additional emnlovees not related to family permitted on site. 4. No storage of gas, oil, fertilizer, or chemicals on site. No outside storage of equipment, Supplias/materials related to landscape business, including trailers noted above. "Storage" will mean the keeping of more than a five-gallon quantity of material. 5. No repairs of equipment other than routine operational maintenance(oil change, blade replacement, and the like). Operation of equipment in association with routine maintenance is only allowed between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. 6.

The Planning Commission did not give their letters the consid- eration that they deserve. No one is better situated than next- door neighbors to know the impact of the applicant's conduct, and no one's peace and quiet are more at stake. My clients Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Maney, whose house is twice as close as Mr. Arrington's to his maintenance shed, oppose his application for three reasons. First, Mr. Arrington's actions are adversely affecting the Maneys' property -- and its value -- contrary to the first-stated criterion in the Zoning Ordinance that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. The history of violations, complaints, investigations and protests against expansion shows that the granting of this special permit has not worked out satisfactorily. Perhaps it would have, if Mr. Arrington had observed the conditions on which it was granted. But instead he has committed repeated violations of at least one condition. There have been two official determinations that he violated the conditions of the number of employees permitted on site, and he has done so on numerous occasions. There is an ongoing investigation as to whether he has violated the condition that no chemicals be stored on the premises. The Maneys have also complained that he has repeatedly violated the condition prohibiting routine main- tenance before 10:00 a.m., but the Zoning Administrator has taken the view that repair work necessary for loading equipment rather than routine maintenance was involved. Worst of all, the noise and disturbance of work on the machinery have been nearly intolerable for the Maneys. However, the County has not been able to respond in time on short notice so as to determine that the sound exceeds the maximum sound level permitted by the performance standards. Board of Supervisors County of Albemarle April 10, 1998 Page 2 The.Maneys' second reason for opposing this application is that to approve it would be to ignore or overlook, if not condone or reward, Mr. Arrington's actions. Even after the first official determination of zoning violation he continued on numerous occasions to disregard the same condition that he violated, and he may have violated others. His past conduct is clearly material and relevant to his application. The Maneys' third reason for opposition is that to expand what Mr. Arrington has been granted is to increase the possibility of abuse. In their view his actions to date provide no reason to believe that he will observe the conditions of approval, or the maximum sound level permitted, in the future. It might be objected on behalf of the application that no change would result from granting it -- that the overall number of persons on site engaged in the business would remain three. That is true only so long as Mr. Arrington's son lives elsewhere. If he should move back, the application would permit four persons rather than three. For that reason, in the event the application is approved it is only fair that the condition relating to employees, as approved by the Planning Commission, contain the provision that if the applicant's son moves back home the number of employees permitted on site, other than members of the family living on the premises, shall revert from two to one. For all of the foregoing reasons the Maneys ask that you deny Mr. Arrington's application. Respectfully submitted~ / Matthew W. Perry, Jr. MWP:lsg pc: Mr. Ms. Mr. Mr. Mr. David P.

It was our understanding at the time of the previo~s hearin8 that the applicant would not ask for any further zonin8 exemptions. We were fearful that with % foot in the door" the applicant would try to expand the business operations. And so he has. We object to the applicant's request for the following reasons: 1. Adverse effect on our property value 2. Unsatisfactory noise level. 3. Increased traffic in the area. 4. Previous violations of the zoning code by the applicant.

Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596 RE: Complaint letter on SP96--40 Angus & Brenda Arrington Dear Ms. McCulley: Included with this letter are 20 photographs and I video tape all taken since our last written complaint of May 6, 1997, (in addition to the 9 photographs you already have in your possession) all taken since Angus Arrington Sr. was granted his Class B Permit on January' 15, 1997. Each photograph is marked with the date and time and below is a brief description of the restriction violations in each photo by number: 1. Photo taken 5/31/97, 1:15 p.m. shows A, ngus Sr. and 2 employees on site. This group of photographs was taken on 6/9/97 between 7:15 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. This set of photographs were extremely disturbing and I will describe each and the events surrounding them as ! witnessed them. In this photograph, there is a 300-gallon tank that is manufactured to be resistant to cbe,nicals Also, 2 gasoline powered pumps installed itl the top of the tank and a long length of garden hose. I was awakened around 7:t0 a.m., 6/9/97 by the noise of these gasoline engines framing and wimessed the following series of events. What I believe to be water was being pumped from the tank in this picture through the garden hose and into Angus Arrington Sr. storage building. After 10 minutes or so, the gray dodge pickup was backed 3/4 of the way into the building. The bed oftbe pickup truck at this time was empty_ For a period of 10-15 minutes, there were very loud noises of banging and pounding and I could hear them shouting that the tailgate was stuck and would not open. After another few minutes, the pickup emerged from the building with this skid sprayer (cbemieal sprayer) full of a liquid that you could see sloshing from side to side in a waving action. This special type of sprayer which is used to spray lawn fertilizers and herbicides and requires a special permit from OSHA to own and operate for commercial purposes, has been used for this purpose many times in the past. 5.- 6. Photographs 5 & 6 are much closer views ofthe chemical sprayer and the dark gray shading can be plainly seen to veri~ that the sprayer is near fifll. January 6, 1998 Page -2- Photos' 2-6 show the following conditions being violated: No routine maintenance bet'ore 10:00 a.m., no excessive noise levels, no more than 1 employee on the premises, no chemicals on the premises. Even if the chemicals were not added in the building, which I believe they were, chemical residues from past use of this equipment still remain inside. I see this sprayer as a potential health threat from a possible leak and poor care and upkeep or equipment failure. 7. 7/30/97, 3:30 p.m. More than I employee on site. 8. 9/5/97, 5:40 p.m. More than I employee on site. 9. 9/17/97, 2:30 p.m. More than I employee on site. 10. 9/20/97, 11:30 a.m. More than 1 employee on site. 11. 9/29/97, 7:30 a.m. More than 1 employee on site. Running and maintaining equipment before 10:00 a.m. 12-13. 10/7/97, 1:30 p.m. Oscar (driving tract,or) and 2 other employees wearing Angus Sr. logo shirts for the business, working on premises (loading mulch from the ground onto a trailer). Later, the trailer full of mulch was towed offthe premises (3 employees on site, none of which were Angus Sr. or Angus Jr.). 14. 10/7/97, 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m Repairing, adjusting and maintaining mowers and loading equipment before 10:00 a.m. Excessive noise and more than 1 employee on site. 15-16. 10/9/97, 1:45 p.m. (Another set of photos' of chemical sprayer).

(neither one present) begin to unload equipment off silver dodge diesel truck which was left running. 2 employees on site, noise Video Tape - 11/14/97, 3:30 p.m. This video tape clearly shows 2 employees (Oscar?. and George? or employee #1 and #2). Only 2 employees on site create the following disturbance that lasted for 45 minutes or moro even though approximately only 11 minutes of tape was recorded. The amount of noise these men created is unbearable even in the at~emoon though this scenario has occurred on numerous occasions between 6:30 a.m. - 8:00 am. and, as you know, numerous January 6, 1998 Page -3- complaints have been filed with your office for this very reason. The video tape shows moving of equipment, loading and unloading of the trailers, the employees shouting and screaming to each other, though they were only a few feet apart, they could not hear each other due to all the'noise they were generating. The gray diesel truck was left running the whole time. When you play this tape at near full volume, you will get only a limited experience of what my mornings on a continuous basis sound like. The microphone this was recorded with only reproduces only a small amount of the noise spectrum and does not do it justice. The vibrations in the air and in the ground are also missing. I can only compare it to a military helicopter trying to land on our roof. Military helicopters have no mufflers like a lot of Angns Sr. equipment. The violations in this video tape are: 2 employees on site, excessive and nnbearable noise level. This is now our 3rd written complaint over this situation. I have called your'office when each and every one of these violations occurred, either talking with you or leaving a message on your voice mail. [ have met with you and Bart Svoboda on at least 4 occasions, la my last call to Bart, he informed me that Angus was told not to have the additional employees on site and he was to schedule them only one at a time. The photographsand video tape was taken only a few days (11/14/97) after the warning was given and as you can clearly see, this warning was ignored just like all of our efforts in the past to keep Angus'Sr. iii compliance. I am sending these complaints with Matthew Perry who will now be representing me in this issue. PI_ease give him your utmost cooperation and assistance. Yours truly, I~AW OFFICES MATTIIEW W.

McCulley Zoning Administrator Director Department of Building Code and County of Albemarle 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville~ VA 22902 Zoning Services Dear Ms. McCulley: Re: Mr. Angus Arrington SP 96-40 and SP 97-56 As I explained to you during our telephone conversation of January ~, I represent Mr. and ~rs. Joseph T. Maney with respect to their concern over the business activities of their neighbor Mr. Angus Arrington. On May 6, 1997, Mr. Maney wrote you a letter complaining of a ~umper of violations by Mr. Arrington of several conditions of the approval of his Home Occupation Class B special permit. On May 20 and July 17, 1997, you notified Mr. Arrington of an official determination of zoning violation. Mr. Maney reports that-since the date of his letter Mr. Arrington has continued to violate several conditions of approval. Mr. Maney has witnessed numerous violations and has identified and documented them in a letter to you dated January 6, 1998, which I enclose herewith together with the photographs and video cassette to which it refers. Please record and immediately investigate this new complaint and take appropriate action thereon. Mr. Arrington has applied for an expansion of his Class B Home Occupation special permit in order, in the words of the notice to adjacent proper~y owners, "to add 2 additional employees, one additional landscape trailer, and one additional pick up truck." The Maneys oppose his petition for several reasons. First, the addition of two "additional" employees is prohib- ited by the very definition of a Class B Home Occupation, which requires that there be employed "not more than two (2) persons other than members of the family residing on the premises, which persons may be in addition to such family members." This defi- nitional limitation is separate and distinct from the condition of Mr. Arrington's special permit that there be "no more than one additional employee not related to family permitted on site." Ms. Amelia January 8~ Page ~ G. McCulley 1998 Even now, Mr. Maney can identify different employees appearing in the photographs enclosed in his new complaint who exceed the number permitted by the definition of a Class B Home Occupation. Second, the Maneys have found the noise associated with Mr. Arrington's business activities, especially at early hours, nearly intolerable, His maintenance'shed is twice as close to their house as it is to his own. The additions requested in the new petition can only produce even more noise, traffic and activity and intrude more on their peace and quiet. The Maneys would have both of the foregoing objections even if Mr. Arrington had faithfully observed all of the conditions on which his Class B special permit was granted. Their third object- ion is that his petition to expand his Class B Home Occupation should be considered in the context of his actions. Bis conduct resulted in an official determination of zoning violation. There- after, rather than scrupulously observe the conditions of his special permit, he continued to disregard them as documented in Mr. Maney's n~w complaint. To grant his petition to expand would be to ignore or overlook, if not condone or reward, his actions. More- over, in the Maneys' view his conduct to date provides reason to doubt that he will observe the ~onditions of approval in the future. The Maneys appreciate that their complaint must be investiga- ted before any official determination of zonlng violation can be made. But they submit that, in light of the evidence being fur- nished, it would be appropriate for any action by the Planning Commission on Mr. Arrington's new petition to be deferred until your investigation is completed. The Maneys also request that you and Mr. Wade furnish copies of this letter and of Mr. Maney's letter of January 6 to the members of the Planning Commission and the members of the Board of Supervisors, and that you have the photographs and il-minute video cassette accompanying Mr. Maney's letter available for examination, together with a VCR and television set.

Angus Arrington SP 97-56 and SP 96-40 This letter follows up on my letter of January 8 to Ms. Amelia McCulley on behalf of my clients Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T. Maney, a copy of which, together with a copy of Mr. Maney's letter of January 6 to Ms. McCulley, is enclosed herewith for your ready reference. Against a background of violations, complaints, investigations and protests, Mr. Arrington has modified his application for -expansion of his Class B Home Occupation permit but still seeks to "add one additional employee". The Maneys remain opposed to his petition for the reasons set out in the second page of my letter of January 8 to Ms. McCulley. I understand that, since the date of my letter to Ms. McCulley, her department has begun but not completed its investi- gation of whether Mr. Arrington has violated the condition that no chemicals be stored on the premises; that it has begun but not completed its investigation of whether Mr. Arrington's son lives off the premises but that Mr. Arrington has in effect conceded that his son does live off the premises; and that it has officially determined that Mr. Arrington has for the second time violated the condition that not more than one additional employee be on the premises. Ms. McCulley stated in her letter of January 15 to me that that condition had been violated "on numerous occasions". Her Mr. Juandiego R. Wade April 1, 1998 Page 2 Department has now issued two official determinations of zoning violation of the condition of Mr. Arrington's special permit that there be "no more than one additional employee not related to family permitted on site". The Maneys submit that it is only proper and fair that the Planning Commission and Board of Super- visors be fully apprised of both the status of investigations and the history of violations in oonsidering Mr. Arrington's petition. The Maneys repeat their request that the photographs and videocassette that accompanied Mr. Maney's letter of January 6 to Ms. McCulley be made available to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, together with a VCR and television set. No writing can convey the nightmare of noise and disturbance being visited on the Maneys as this videocassette does. In the event that Mr. Arrington's petition is approved, the Maneys urge that any approval be expressly conditioned on the additional employee's being Mr. Arrington's son. In order to avoid any ambiguity inherent in the inaccurate wording "not related to family" and in order to adhere to the wording of the Zoning Ordinance, such a condition should be worded "No more than two employees, one of whom shall be the applicant's son, shall be permitted on site in addition to members of the family residing on the premises". This would make clear that the total number of persons working on site, including Mr. Arrington, shall not exceed three, even if Mr. Arrington's son should elect to reside again with his father. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Very truly yours, Matthew W. Perry, Jr. MWP:lsg Enclosures pc: Planning Commission Board of Supervisors Ms. Amelia G.

McCulley, Director of Building Code & Zoning Services Special Permit 97-56 Angus Arrington April 7, 1998 This is to provide a brief history and the current status of the zoning investigation relating to this application. After examination of the complaints and the evidence available, pt is our conclusion that condition #2 of S.P. 96-40 has been violated on several occasions. This is the condition which restricts the number of employees not related to family permitted on site to one (I) Staff asked for further information to in order to decide if Angus Arrington, Jr. would be considered a resident for the purposes of the zoning approval. Instead of arguing that point, the applicant conceded and is seeking approval based on a non-resident status. The applicant is seeking compliance through the special permit application before you. There has been insufficient evidence to justify and/or verify that violations exist for the other complaints Since the approval of S.P. 96-40 on January, 15, 1997, Zoning staffhas re~eived recurring complaint about various issues. This memo will outline the most relevant complaints, stalFs findings and the applicant's response. Beginning in February, 1997, there have been over 25 phone calls, several meetings and a few letters from the complainant, expressing instances of noncompliance or nuisance from this home occupanon. These have resulted in countless trips to the home occupations and two official determmauons of violation to the applicant, both relating to the number of employees on site. Violation 98-01 is currently pending. Letter of May 6, 1997 with photos t?om complainant notes several areas of objection. These include too many employees, too many business trucks and alleged excessive Page 2 Memo to Juandiego Wade S.P. 97-56 Angus Arrington storage of fuel. Complaint by meeting with complainant on May 7th. Allegation of too many employees and excessive fuel storage. Investigated complaint that Arrington's vehicle was involved in an accident and caused a fuel spill. Obtained accident report and investigated and did not find grounds. Zoning staffvisited the site on numerous days. We w. ere not able to confirm these 'facts first-hand (we did not see the additional employees, fuel, etc). Based on photos and testimony from the complainant, I sent an official determination of violation letter dated May 20th The Arringtons were informed that they were not in compliance with conditions relating to # employees and to storage of gasoline. Zoning staff visited the site to determine whether there was compliance. By letter of July 17th, I revised the determination of violation to rescind and clarify it. Based on our field visits, we (staff) were not able to substantiate that there had been or was a violation of the condition #3 relating to the storage of fuel. After further review of the language of condition #2, it does not refer to the number of employees but to the number "on site." Despite this clarification, there was a photo was shows more than one employee on site, therefore reflecting a violation. Met with complainant and received 1 video, 20 photos and complaint letter dated January 6, 1998. This was followed by cover memo from Matthew Perry, Attorney, dated January 8th These complaints fall within the following: condition #2 - No more than one additional employee on site condition #3 - No storage of gas, oil... "Storage" shall mean the keeping of more than a five gallon quantity of material condition #4 - No repairs of equipment other than routine operational mmntenance... Operation of equipment m association with routine mmntenance is only allowed between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m Staff investigated and reviewed the facts with the County Attorney's Office. Of the charges, we substantiated the violation of condition #2 This was explained in a letter to Mathew Perry dated January 15th I mailed an official determination of violation with attached explanation to Mr. Arrington dated January 16th. We have received further complaint and have made several field visits. The inspection on April 6th shows the site to be in compliance. We have further documentation to fill in information should you need it. A representative will be available for the Planning Commission's and Board of Supervisor's meetings.

CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, MY NAME IS MATTHEW PERRY. I AM AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING MR. AND MRS. JOSEPH MANEY, WHOSE PROPERTY ADJOINS THAT OF THE APPLICANT. THE MANEYS OPPOSE THIS APPLICATION FOR THREE REASONS. FIRST, THE HISTORY OF VIOLATIONS, COMPLAINTS, INVESTIGATIONS AND PROTESTS AGAINST EXPANSION SHOWS THAT THE GRANTING OF THIS SPECIAL PERMIT HAS NOT WORKED OUT SATISFACTORILY. PERHAPS IT WOULD HAVE IF MR. ARRINGTON HAD OBSERVED THE CONDITIONS ON WHICH IT WAS GRANTED. BUT INSTEAD HE HAS REPEATED~VIOLAT]~.C~I~NS. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OFFICIAL DETERMINATIONS THAT HE VIOLATED THE CON- DITIONS OF THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES PERMITTED ON SITE, AND HE HAS DONE SO ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION AS TO WHETHER HE HAS VIOLATED THE CONDITION THAT NO CHEMICALS BE STORED ON THE PREMISES. THE MANEYS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED THAT HE HAS REPEATEDLY VIOLATED THE CONDITION PROHIBITING ROUTINE MAINTEN- ANCE BEFORE 10:00 A.M., BUT THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR HAS TAKEN THE VIEW THAT WHAT IT HAS SEEN WAS NECESSARY REPAIR WORK RATHER THAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. WORST OF ALL, THE NOISE AND DISTURBANCE OF WORK ON THE MACHINERY HAVE BEEN NEARLY INTOLERABLE FOR THE MANEYS, IN PART BECAUSE THE APPLICANT'S MAINTENANCE SHED IS TWICE AS CLOSE TO THEIR HOUSE AS IT IS TO HIS OWN. HOWEVER, THE COUNTY HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESPOND ON SHORT NOTICE SO AS TO DETERMINE THAT THE SOUND EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM SOUND LEVEL PERMITTED BY THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. IN SHORT, MR. ARRINGTON'S ACTIONS ARE ADVERSELY AFFECTING THE MANEYS' PROPERTY -- AND ITS VALUE -- CONTRARY TO THE FIRST-STATED CRITERION IN SECTION 31.2.4 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE THAT SUCH USE WILL NOT BE OF SUBSTANTIAL DETRIMENT TO ADJACENT PROPERTY. THE MANEYS' SECOND REASON FOR OPPOSING THIS APPLICATION IS THAT TO GRANT IT WOULD BE TO IGNORE OR OVERLOOK, IF NOT CONDONE OR REWARD, MR. ARRINGTON'S ACTIONS. EVEN AFTER THE FIRST OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF ZONING VIOLATION HE CONTINUED ON NUMEROUS OCCAS- IONS TO DISREGARD THE SAME CONDITION THAT HE VIOLATED; AND HE MAY HAVE VIOLATED OTHERS. MISCONDUCT SHOULD NOT BE REWARDED. THE MANEYS' THIRD REASON FOR OPPOSITION IS THAT TO EXPAND WHAT MR. ARRINGTON HAS BEEN GRANTED IS TO INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT HE WILL OBSERVE THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, OR THE MAXIMUM SOUND LEVEL PERMITTED, IN THE FUTURE. IT MIGHT BE OBJECTED ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICATION THAT NO CHANGE WOULD RESULT FROM GRANTING IT -- THAT THE OVERALL NUMBER OF PERSONS ON SITE ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS WOULD REMAIN THREE. THAT IS TRUE ONLY SO LONG AS HIS SON LIVES ~LSEWHERE. IF HE SHOULD MOVE BACK, THE APPLICATION WOULD PERMIT FOUR PERSONS RATHER THAN THREE. FOR THAT REASON, IN THE EVENT THE APPLICATION IS GRANTED, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO IDENTIFY THE SECOND ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE. FOR THE SAME REASON, RATHER THAN SPEAK OF EMPLOYEES "NOT RELATED TO FAMILY", IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT, SINCE MR. ARRINGTON'S SON IS RELATED TO FAMILY WHEREVER HE LIVES, TO USE THE WORDING CONTAINED IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE. THUS THE CLEAREST WAY TO STATE SUCH A CONDITION WOULD BE "NO MORE THAN TWO EMPLOYEES, ONE OF WHOM SHALL BE THE APPLICANT'S SON, SHALL BE PERMITTED ON SITE IN ADDITION TO MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY RESIDING ON THE PREMISES." EVEN IDENTIFYING MR. ARRINGTON'S SON AS THE NEW ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE IS AT VARIANCE WITH WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY ALLOWED. AS THE SPECIAL PERMIT NOW STANDS, IF HIS SON CHOOSES TO MOVE BACK HOME, HE CAN CONTINUE WITH A TOTAL OF THREE PERSONS ON SITE ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS. IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO MOVE BACK HOME THEN THE RESULTING LIMITATION OF TWO PERSONS OVERALL -- MR. ARRINGTON AND ONE ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE, WHO COULD BE HIS SON -- WOULD AT LEAST IN PART REDUCE THE NOISE AFFLICTING HIS NEIGHBORS. THE STAFF REPORT STATES THAT ONE LETTER OF OPPOSITION FROM A NEIGHBOR (MS. HAMM) HAS BEEN RECEIVED. SINCE THE DATE OF THE REPORT, T=W~ MORE LETTERS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, ~EH A~F*-~ ~F~T H-~--MANE~Y~AN D~T HE~ W'~T SE~F~ P~f~'5. THUS THE FOUR NEIGHBORS WHOSE PROPERTIES ADJOIN MR. ARRINGTON'S NOW OPPOSE HIS APPLICATION. ON NOVEMBER 14 LAST YEAR TWO EMPLOYEES ON SITE -- ONE MORE THAN WAS PERMITTED -- CREATED A TYPICAL AMOUNT OF NOISE LASTING FOR 45 MINUTES. MR. MANEY RECORDED THE SCENE ON VIDEOTAPE FOR 11 MINUTES AND WANTS TO PLAY THREE MINUTES OF IT FOR YOU AS HIS PRESENTATION. IT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION TO CALL THIS A NIGHTMARE OF NOISE AND DISTURBANCE, AND I SUBMIT THAT NONE OF YOU WOULD WANT IT TO HAPPEN REPEATEDLY NEXT DOOR TO YOUR HOME. DAVID R.

DECEMBER 17, 1996 JANUARY 15, 1997 LATTACHMENT E SP 96-40 - ANGUS & BRENDA ARRINGTON - _, - ' ~' '. - .~-:.: The applicant is proposing to operate a landscaping business as a home occupation Class B. The applicant proposes to park two trucks and two 16 foot trailers at this residence. A third truck and a 16-foot trailer will be parked on the job site during the week. This third truck will be parked at the applicant's residence when there is no job. A more detailed description and justification for the use are included in Attachment A. Petition: To establish a Class B - Home Occupation on 4.6 acres zoned RA, Rural Areas. The property, described as Tax Map 80-Parcel' 74C, is located off Goochs Mill Lane - Route 842 in the Rivanna Magisterial District. This area is not in a designated Development Area (Rural Area 2). (Attachment B & C). Character of the Area: This property is developed with a single family dwelling and a shed. Access to the property is directly offGoochs Mill Lane - Route 842. Route 842 is an unpaved road (.3 mile in length) serving ten homes with 95 average daily trips. This road is not scheduled for improvement in the County's Six Year Secondary Road Plato The Lmmediate area can be described as rural residential in character. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed'the special use permit for compliance with prowsions of Section 5.2 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends denial. [~l~l!ning and Zoning Historv: In 1990 the applicant was granted a Home Occupation Class A for a janitorial and lawn care business. ~ This area is located in the Rural Areas as designated in the Comprehensive Plan. This location is not identified in the Open Space as requiring particular attention. Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4 of the Zoning ordinance. The Boor~l of Su~rvisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits permitted hereunder. Special use ~ermits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. The possible impacts of this use on abutting properties will be an increase in traffic, potential increase m noise and other impacts related to equipment/supply storage, and change in visual character. The applicant has indicated that only one of his employees will come to his home. The remaining employees will meet at the work site. The applicant has also indicated that there will be no storage ofoil, gasoline, fertilizer, or other chemicals on site, and that all major mechanical work Page 1 of 4 other than routine maintenance of vehicles will be performed by an outside mechanic at their shops (Attachment 1[}). The applicant will need to start the equipment at home to determine that it is in satisfactory running condition. Regarding traffic, staff is concerned that this use will increase traffic along an unpaved mad and that additional Ixaffic willbe of a more commercial character (tracks with trailem). The adjacent property (Tax Map 80, Parcel 74 C) has a Home Occupation - Class A for a VCRJI~ repair business. The property was denied a HomeOccupation -Class B to move a portion of his business to an existing garage. One of the main reasons for denial by the Board of Supervisors was the potential of increased traffic from customers on this unpaved road (Route 842). While this proposed use would not likely generate as much traffic as the VCR/TV repair, it would generate additional traffic ~fa commercial character and potentially create conflicts with residential traffic (assuming one additional employee and two additional tracks leaving and returning only once daily, a total of six (6) additional trips would be generated per day). In the review of development proposals effort should be made to treat lands Which are similarly situated and environmentally similar in tike manner. Therefore, there should be some distinguishable difference between this proposal and the previous VCR/TV repair proposal on the adjacent property. While the Virginia Department of Transportation comments that this request "should not be a major ~mpact to the infrastructure of the roadway"(Attachment I), this road is not scheduled for improvements in the County's Six Year Secondary Plan. Regarding issues of equipment/Supply storage, noise, and change of vis_ual character of the area, the applicant has indicated tha~there will be no storage of gas, oil, fertilizer and the like (and that would be a recommended condition for approval). While the applicant may attempt this in good faith, staff opinion is that it would be difficult for such an operation to exist on site without some storage of gas, oil and fertilizer/seed at some point in time, particularly if "routine" maintenance is going to be conducted on site. Also, noise generated with loading/unloading of trailers and routine equipmem maintenance may impact nearby properties. The applicant has taken steps to reduce the noise and view from adjacent properties by insulating the shed and planting white pine trees. Als0, access to the shed takes place from the back, facing away from the road. Opponents of this special use peamit have signed a petition (Attachment E). Proponents have also signed a petition in favor of this special permit (Attachment F). In sunmm~, the area along Route 842 has more ora rural residential character, with smaller lot rural residential development. The proposed use, which in effect functions much like a contractor's storage yard, may not be compatible with the character of this area. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby, The site is located in the Rural Areas, No significant changes in the character of the larger district are anticipated. that such use will be in harmony with pu _rpose and intent of this ordinance. Page 2 of 4 Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent ofthe Ordinance as stated in Section 1 A, 1.5, and 1.6. and does -not believe this use meets the intent. Specifically, Section LS, Relationship to the Environment, states that the ordinance shall be designed m treat lands similarly situated and environmentally similar in a like manner. While this section speaks specifically to the "design" of this ordinance, the application of the ordinance should also meet this standard. Approval of this request may not be consistent with a previous action by the Board of Supervisors regarding a Home Occupation, Class B request on an adjacent property (see premons comracnts). Also,. ~ stated earlier, staff opinion is that this request does not meet the intent of Section 1.4.3 "to facilitate the creation of a convenient, .attractive, and harmomous community," as applied to the immediate community along Route 842. with the usesparmitted by right on any ad_iacent ~roper[y This request will not affect uses permitted by right on any adjacent property. The use is not anticipated to negatively affect agricultural/forestry use in the area. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this Ordinance. Section 5.2 contains regulations for Home Occupations (Attachment G). Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with these regulations. The Zoning Department has also provided comments (Attachment It). The applicant intends m store equipment for the business in an existing shed. This :building measures 1,800 square feet, exceeding the t,500 square feet maximum permitted in 5.2 section of the Zoning Ordinance for a Home Occupation. The Commission may grant a modification permitting additional area to be used. and with the nublic health, safety, and eeneral welfare~ Refer to earlier comments regarding traffic. SUMMARY Staffhas identified the following factors which are favorable to this request: 1. All major mechanical work on vehicles will be done'off-site; 2. No storage of hazardous material. Staff has identified the following negative factors to this request: 1. Noise associated with starting of equipment during routine malntenance~ 2. Generation of additional traffic and type of traffic ( i.e., trucks with trailers as opposed to strictly residential traffic on an unpaved road). Page 3 of 4 3. History--previous denial by Board of Supervisors of a Class B on adjacent land due to traffic concelTIS. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Based on the concerns regarding additional traffic and potential impact of ~llch a use. recommends denial of SP 96-40. Should the Planning Commission recommend approval of this request, a modification of section 5.2.2.1 (a) of the Zoning Ordinance must be granted to permit the total area used for the Home Occupation to exceed 1,500 square feet. Only the Planning Commission must act on the waiver request. If the Commission is to act favorably on this request, staff recommends that the Planning Commission grant the modification, and recommends the following conditions of approval: 1. No more than three trucks and three trailers parked on site; 2. No more than one additional employee not related to family permitted on site; o No storage of gas, oil, fertilizers, or chemicals on site. No outside storage of equipment, supplies/materials related to landscape business, incuding milers noted above; No repairs of equipment other than routine operational maintenance (oil change, blade replacement, and the like); 5. Area used to conduct of the Home Occupation shall not exceed 1,800 square feet.

This area is NOT. a designated development area- -it is rural residential in character (rural area 2). 2. It would open the door to more expansion.

In addition before 7:00 a.m. and after 7:00 p.m., the permissible Sound levels at an agricul- tural or residential district boundary where adjoining industrial districts shall be reduced by five (5) decibels in each octave band and in the overall band for impact noises. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT Noise shall be measured by means of a sound level meter and octave band analyzer, calibrated in decibels (re 0.0002 microbar) and shall be measured at the nearest lot line from which the noise level radiates. MEANIN~ OF TERMS Decibel means a prescribed interval of sound frequencies which classifies sound according to its pitch. Impact noises shall be measured by means of an impact noise analyzer. Impact moises are those whose peak values fluctuate more than six (6) decibels from the steady values indicated on the sound level meter set at fast response. Octave band means a prescribed interval of sound frequencies which classifies sound according to its pitch. Preferred frequency octave bands means a standardized series of octave bands prescribed by the American Standards Association in S1.6-1960 Preferred Frequencies for Acoustical Measurements. Sound level meter means an electronic instrument which includes a microphone, an amplifier and an output meter which measures a noise and sound pressure levels in a s~ecified manner. It may be used with the octave hand analyzer that permits measuring the sound pressure level in discrete octave hands. -42- (Supp. #82A, 1-3-96) Maximum Permitted Sound Levels (decibels) Preferred Frequency Octave Bands Location of Measurement 4.14.2 Octave band.

The Planning Commission did not give their letters the consid- eration that they deserve. No one is better situated than next- door neighbors to know the impact of the applicant's conduct, and no one's peace and quiet are more at stake. My clients Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Maney, whose house is twice as close as Mr. Arrington's to his maintenance shed, oppose his application for 'three reasons. First, Mr. Arrington's actions are adversely affecting the Maneys' property -- and its value -- contrary to the first-stated criterion in the Zoning Ordinance that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. The history of violations, complaints, investigations and protests against expansion shows that the granting of this special permit has not worked out satisfactorily. Perhaps it would have, if Mr. Arrington had observed the conditions on which it was granted. But instead he has committed repeated violations of at least one condition. There have been two official determinations that he violated the conditions of the number of employees permitted on site, and he has done so on numerous occasions. There is an ongoing investigation as to whether he has violated the condition that no chemicals be stored on the premises. The Maneys have also complained that he has repeatedly violated the condition prohibiting routine main- tenance before 10:00 a.m., but the Zoning Administrator has taken the view that repair work necessary for loading equipment rather than routine maintenance was involved. Worst of all, the no~se and disturbance of work on the machinery have been nearly intolerable for the Maneys. However, the County has not been able to respond an time on short notice so as to determine that the sound exceeds the maximum sound level permitted by the performance standards. Board of Supervisors County of Albemarle April 10, 1998 Page 2 The Maneys' second reason for opposing this application is that to approve it would be to ignore or overlook, if not condone or reward, Mr. Arrington's actions. Even after the first official determination of zoning violation he continued on numerous occasions to disregard the same condition that he violated, and he may have violated others. His past conduct is clearly material and relevant to his application. The Maneys' third reason for opposition is that to expand what Mr. Arrington has been granted is to increase the possibility of abuse. In their v~ew his actions to date provide no reason to believe that he will observe the conditions of approval, or the maximum sound level permitted, in the future. It might be objected on behalf of the application that no change would result from granting it -- that the overall number of persons on site engaged in the business would remain three. That is true only so long as Mr. Arrington's son lives elsewhere. If he should move back, the application would permit four persons rather than three. For that reason, in the event the application is approved it is only fair that the condition relating to employees, as approved by the Planning Commission, contain the provision that if the applicant's son moves back home the number of employees permitted on site, other than members of the family living on the premises, shall revert from two to one. For all of the foregoing reasons the Maneys ask that you deny Mr. Arrington's application. Respectfully submitted~ / Matthew W. Perry, Jr. MWP:lsg pc: Mr. David P. Bowerman Ms. Charlotte Y.

The added revenues am shown on Attachment B and reflect an additional $11,588 in revenues to the General Fund, and $145,981 to the School Fund. County Executive adjustments to the recommended budget in the amount of ($122,202) include $98,946 in savings from the VRS Life rate 'holiday' in FY 98/99 and $23.256 in savings from miscellaneous personnel/operating cost adjustments. General Fund revenue additions total $11.588, and generally reflect additional State salary reimbursements for constitutional officers and staff. Board of Supervisors' funded additions to the recommended budget total $333,528 and reflect the net impact of redudmg the employee merit pool from 3% to 2.75% (a savings of $39,710), as well as a $150,000 increase in the General Fund transfer to the School Division, $112.868 in additional funding for School Debt Service, and $110.370 in General Government funded initiatives (which include the $478 in additional funding for the Shelter for Help in Emergency discussed at the April 8th public hearing.) The revised School Division transfer amount for FY 98/99 is $49,188,488. Total budgeted School Division debt service increases by $112,868 to $7,558,748. School Fund changes include $145,981 in additional State education revenues, which is $34,919 less than the $180,000 in new State funds originally projected during budget worksessions.

The School Board's requested budget of $84,374,034 included $77,822,988 in regular School Fund operations and $6,551,046 in self-sustaining fund operations, an increase of $6.6 million (8.5%) over the cun~nt year. Given total available revenues of $83,486,011, the shortfall is $0.888 milton. Their request is deemed a maintenance of current effort by the School Board. The County Executive recommended a total budget of $83,486,011 for the School Division, equal to total available revenues. The major components of the recommended School Division operational budget included: $1.2 million in growth costs for the anticiPated 295 new students, including 19.36 new teachers for regular and special education; $0.8 million in start-up operations for the new Monticello High School; partial funding for the Standards of Accreditation at $1.2 million (including the phased implementation of the 7-period schedule for high schools); and regular salary and benefit increases for teaching and classified staff. Board of Supervisors' Adopted Budget The adopted budget represents a $295,981 increase over the recommended budget, reflecting the addition of $145,981 in additional State education revenues, and a $150,000 increase in the General Fund transfer to the Schools. (The $145,981 in additional Slate revenues is $34,019 less than the $180,000 originally projected during budget workessions.) These additional revenues, combined with projected expenditure savings of $441,800 due to a VRS life insurance "holiday" in FY 98/99 and a reduction in employee merit increases (from 3% to 2.75%), as wcll as an estimated $195,422 in non-recumng School Board reserves, provide the School Board with resources sufficient to fund all of its requested shortfall amount ($888,023.) The School Board will finalize its budget next month, with adoption tentatively scheduled for May 11.

Box 224 Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 Dear Mr. Kudravetz: Thank you for your recent letter to the Board of Supervisors and the County Executive concerning full funding for the Shelter for Help in Emergency. As the County administrator responsible for human services and a member of the County/City Budget Review Team, let me preface this response by stating that the County fully supports the work of the shelter and considers it a vital community resource to address domestic violence. Also. as a past director of a battered women's' shelter myself, I know and appreciate the importance of the shelter's work in pro,ding a safe place for women and families in our community. However, I do want m address several statements in your letter that I believe need clarification, because they lead to the conclusion that Albemarle County is not paying its fair share of the shelter's budget. You state that "Each jurisdiction in Planning District 10 is asked to contribute its fair share of the shelter's budget based upon the number of clients served from each jurisdiction. This was how the requested amount for Albemarle was derived." Albemarle's requested share is actually not based on a share of senti[es prodded, but for the past several years has been based on a share of the shelter's budget increase, not the total budge[ Let me explain, using the following information taken the Shelter's FY99 funding application: The agreed upon fair share formula is a three year total of both shelter residents and non-residents, which is then divided by a three year total of planning district residents and non-residents to get each jurisdiction's percentage share of services compared to the total planning district. Albemarle County Residents/Non-residents FY95 FY96 FY97 3 Year total 309 333 195 837 Charlottesville: Residents/Non-Residents 543 646 835 2024 PD 10 Total Residents/Non-Residents 1137 1271 1324 3732 Albemarle County: 837 = 0.22427 -- 22.4% 3732 Charlottesville: 2024 = 0.54233 = 54.2% 3732 The next step in the fair share calculation takes the total shelter budget of $404,822 and subtracts all other available resources, $248,702, i.e. federal, state, contributions, etc. The remainder of $156.120 is, therefore, the total amount the shelter will need m request f~om the six jurisdictions in the plsnniqg district based on their respective share of services. The table below shows this total local share, each Iocality's share of sen, ices, the calculated share based on Mx. David W. Kudravetz April I0, 1998 Page 2 sermces, the shelter's FY99 requests to the localities and the difference between the calculated and the requested shares. Locality Local Resources Share of Dollar share based on FY 98/99 Over/Under Needed Services services provided Request Fair Share Albemarle 156,120 22.4% 34,971 64,173 29,202 Charlottesville 156,120 54.2% 84,617 67,215 (17,402) Fluvauna 155,120 5.2% 8,118 5,423 (2,695) Greene 155,120, 5.7% 8,899 3,604 (5,295) Louisa 155,120, 7.5% 11,709 10,234 (1,475) Nelson 155,120 5% 7,806 5,471 (2,335) From the above figures, you can see that Albemarle County is conlfibuting siguificantly more than its fair share, and is in fact the only locality in the planning district that actually pays its full share of the service based formula. This is a result of several years of overfimding our share, as well as an additional position that was funded by Albemarle several years ago. but not funded by any of the other localities. The County has been aware for several years that it is paying a greater share of the local dollars than required by the Shelter's fair share formula. We have been willing to do this, because we do fully support the shelter's important work. However, I do not think the County should be portrayed as not paying its fair share of the shelter's budget, as we are obviously paying more than our fak share of services, and have willingly done this for several years. I also think it should be clarified that the shelter's request is not based on the share of services provided to each locality, but rather it is based only on the share of the requested increase. Thank you again for your letter and please feel free to call me ff you have any questions or would like further clarification on the local share formula. Sincerely, Roxanne W. White Assistant County Executive RWW/dbm 98.021 JABA~- Request for East Market Street Senior Center - $4,320 1. Program Information (See attached description from SABA's FY98/99 program application): 2. Budget Review Team Recommendation: The Budget Review Team made the following recommendation and comments: With regard to the East Market Street program, funding is not recommended for the following reasons: The team reiterates its comments made two years ago. "Both the City and County members of the Review Team expressed concern about JABA creating a new sen/or center in the city for several reasons. One, a relatively new, large and successful senior center is already operating in the urban area and is able to serve additional seniors. Two, providing separate, but equal facilities continues to exacerbate, not heal., the economic and racial differences within the elderly community/" The team does not believe that the location of the proposed center would be attractive to a large number of County residents. ( Currently, approximately 22 out of the 88 sen/or citizens (25%) being served at the East Market Center are County residents) The team believes that any additional funds needed to support operations at the facility should be raised from other, non-governmental sources. 3. City of Charlottesville Recommendation The City has recommended full funding of JAB A's request of $13,680 for the East Market Street Senior Center with the stipulation that JABA must take documented steps to work with the Sen/or Center on common programs, ha particular, the City has asked JABA and the Sen/or Center to develop one volunteer program for seniors, rather than the two separate programs currently run by JABA and the Senior Center. This was also the recommendation of the Budget Review Team concerning JABA and Sen/or Center programs: "Last, noting that both JABA and the Senior Center operate independent volunteer programs for seniors, the review team encourages both agencies to further collaborate to provide one sen/or volunteer program to serve the community." 4. County Recommendation As stated above, the Budget Review Team's biggest concern was initiating a second senior center when Albemarle's senior population could be served by the current Sen/or Center. The additional concern is that government funding may foster and exacerbate the economic and racial separation that already exists between the two centers. Should the Board choose to fund the East Market Street Senior Center, staff would recommend the same stipulations that the City has placed on JABA to actively work with the Senior Center on joint programs and a combined volunteer program. Second year funding would be contingent on documented steps towards a stronger partnership with the Senior Center. Part C: continued. COMPLETE PAGES 6-9 FOR EACH PROGRAM 1.)

Mission The Downtown Senior Wellness Center is a dynamic new initiative promoting physical, mental and social wellness for older and disabled adults as well as their families through home and community-based nutrition services, appropriate healthcare and a well rounded activity program. The Downtown Senior Center, presently located in the Carver Recreation Center, is moving to 1512 East Market Street in January I998. The new facility will allow for enhance and diverse programming that is not possible at the Carver Recreation Center. · New Programming Nutrition: The Downtown Senior Center is providing a new hot, nutritious noontime meals program. Meals are provided by the Chef at the Center for Rehab and Eldercare's (CARE) kitchen. Special, diet needs can be addressed, as well as the basic improved nutrition needs of the at risk elderly. The delicious meals are also an inducement for clients to regularly attend and benefit from the center's broad range of health related/therapeutic activities and intergenerational educational classes. Health Clinic: When located at 1512 East Market Street, the agency will house a Health Clinic, which will not only be available for seniors, but also anyone who attend the Center for lntergenerational Learning. JABA has found that ~'~";niors and Iow income ndividuals (who are this pregrams target population) cannot or will not seek out the care that ,ey need owing to matters of cost, convenience, mobility, education and transportation. Each is a significant barrier to access, and poverty to a great extent underlies them all. Services to be provided shall be client centered case management coordinated and non-duplicative of those that may already be avaiJable within the general vicinity. Screening of blood pressures, blood sugar, cholesterol, height, weight, vision and headng will occur. A main i:ocus will be education on nutrition, medications, hygiene, exercise (mobility) and safety (risk reduction). Coordination will be ongoing with regularcommunicafion with client physicians, referral from and to other area agencies, which include the Health Department, Free Clinic, Martha Jefferson Hospital and the University of Virginia Health Science Center. Coordination will occur in order to provide neighborhood-based treatment for minor infections or injuries, hygiene, foot care, prescriptions and diagnostic tests, which in turn can reduce costly emergency mom and hospital in-patient visits. Center for Intergenerational Learning (CIL), is a unique daytime educational program designed to create an environment in which youth and adults serve and learn together. Generations come together to learn new roles. socialize and develop a sense of community through involvement with others. Interganeratiooal communication is the foundation for personal and organizational growth. Research has shown that neighborhoods, which provide such a center, benefit. Youth gain direction, self-esteem and leadership skills. Youth will also gain from the experience of being reentered by.seniors. And, seniors maintain self worth through both giving and receiving. The Center for Intergenerationat Learning is offered in collaboration with Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center, UVA Continuing Education Center, City of Charlottesville Adult Education, Community Attention (Teens GIVE), FOCUS, Piedmont Works, Tandem, local city schools, Senior Community Service Employment program and Job Placement Training Partnership Act projects. AIl these organizations have participated in the planning of CIL and will be actively engaged in the implementation phase.

Tc have a highly visible and accessible information site staffed by youth and adults to disseminate information about services and how to access them, such as wellness and disease prevention or employment preparation and opportunities. · To foster exchanged learning in an easily accessible and fdendly environment · To provide educational experience to youth and seniors in an intergenerational environment which results in positive attitudes between the generations. · To provide older people with the opportunity to socialize, to learn, and to share their knowledge, skills and experiences With youth and their families. · To offer at-risk youth the opportunities to develop self-esteem and competence and to develop trust relationships with adult mentors. · To provide vocational training and employment referral opportunities for welfare recipients, older adults, and at-dsk youth. 7.) Justification of Budget Increase/Decrease: If a budget Change is indicated, show how you arrive at the dollar ~p.~rease/deerease. Ifapp/icable, break down information by unit cost. If the Change is due to inflation, show the ~ation factor used. Examples: [10 meals ~$2_50/meal x 5 days = $125 increase], or [$6,000 ren~ increase x 25% tprogram's share of agency's total budget) = $1,500 program increase.] The East Market Street site will need $36,000 for rent, utilities and maintenance. JABA's has funds to cover these expenses through the pedod ending December 31, 1998. In FY99, JABA is requesting Albemarle County to support $4,320 and the City $13,680 with the agency matching each dollar'to dollar. JABA s Board of Directors has appropriated funds for the first full year of operations with the understanding that both Albemarle County and Charlottesville will share equally, dollar for dollar, the cost of occupancy only expense. Without this support JABA will not be able to keep this center open at the conclusion of 1998. ,- ~- N~IE OF PROGRA~I: East Market Street Center Facility Operations EVALUATION: For a better understanding of how this specific program fits into the overall picture of community rods and services, please complete the following questions using only this page and no typeface smaller than 10 pt. A. What is the overall problem or condition in the community that th/s program addresses? Who is experiencing this problem? What is the extent of this problem and how do you know? Seniors and Iow income individuals (who are this programs target population) cannot or will not seek out the health care that they need owing to matters of cost, convemence, mobility, education and transportation. Many seniors, whose average age is 76. possess two or more chronic health conditions. Their most common health problems are arthritis, hypertension, heart disease, lung or breathing difficulty, elevated cholesterol levels and diabetes. Many take multiple medications increasing the risk of adverse drag/nutrient interactions and likelihood of suffering from malnutrition. Most are either over or under weight, placing them at yet further dsk. Additionally providing the downtown area with multi-purpose, intergenerational programming acc&ssible to a heterogeneous multi-age population is needed. Alternative daytime, classroom educational opportunities are needed in order for at-risk young adults and seniors to successful complete coursework. Coursework is needed to prepare these individuals for employment opportunities. We know this from the collaborative efforts made with the agencies listed under part c. section 6. A survey conducted in the Woolen I~tlls neighborhood by the UVA School of Architecture students, indicated that 97% of 47 people called would be interested in utilizing the East Market Street center for health related, educational and intergenerational programming. According to the 1990 census, the 60 years and older population wSthin the City and County neighborhoods indicate a high potential for attendance. Staffhas met with the Charlottesville neighborhood Associations and received support (i.e. Belmont, Woolen Mills, as well as the President of the united neighborhood ~'~sociations). Presently CATEC does not offer daytime educational opportunities within the City or Albemarle County urban ring. Additionally, Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) and the University of Virginia Department of Continuing Education have found a population of students who are uncomfortable attending campus courses and not able to take night time courses. At dsk youth, such as those served through FOCUS are often unsuccessful when attending day or night classes at PVCC. Studies have shown that these individuals often find success when mentored by an older person. Although auditing classes is available at the local colleges, many seniors feet uncomfortable in the traditional classroom setting. Courses are also geared at a faster pace. Regarding the option of night classes, many semor citizens find they can no longer drive between dusk and dawn due to loss of night vision. Or, even more importantty, have no means of transportation. Creating a partnership with JABA by pro'~iding educational opportunities at the East Market Street center fills an unmet need of CATEC, PVCC and UVA's Department of Continuing Education. B. Please provide an inclusive list of the specific needs faced by this population. Enhanced nutrition Recreation & socialization Home renovation & repair Nutrition counseling Companionship Transportation Health monitoring and education Legal and financial assistance Adult and literacy education Disease orevent~on Home safety awareness Employment sk~tls C. On which of the above needs does your program focus? Why? What is the intended effect of that service on the client? The program addresses all of the above needs with special emphasis on nutrition, wellness and education. This program meets the overall goal of the City's comprehensive plan by affording equal access to opportun~es m /..~der to provide choices that allow fulfillment of individual, group and community goals. Additional the program meets -65~ 8) EVALUATION: Continued ~AME OF PROGRAM:.._East Market Street Center Facility Operations The priorities of promoting access to preventative health services at the same time it promotes educational quality for both City and Albemarle County participants. Additionally, the Center for lntergenerational Learning is consistent with the City Council's goals of improving education by creating within a neighborhood center for ~,outh and seniors an educational program that includes building computer skills as well as other life enriching and job enhancing courses. Through substantive coordination with other human service and educational organization the program will create improved opportunities to enhance and enrich residential neighborhood resources while building community cohesiveness. D_~ How will you know if the program focus works? Be specific on what is measured, how it is measured, and what goals are to be achieved.'? The number of days a client utilizes the center will be recorded with the goal that each client attends an average of three (3) days per week annually. Doubling attendance from the number of clients presently at the Downtown Senior Center located in the Carver' Recreation Center by FY99, increase the number of health promotion and disease prevention hours, establish a Center for Intergenerational Learning provide access to the health clinic at the center for all CIt.. participants, and seniors 'will mentor at-risk youth ara the specific goals to be achieved. Please refer to section 5, program evaluation goals and measurements. The standard goal will be doubling the number of clients by FY99. E. Using that standard/goal, what number (%) met that goal in your most recently completed fiscal year? Not applicable since we ara not yet in the East Market Street site. ~. Aside from funding, what obstacles and/or disappointments did you encounter in attaining these goals? Numbers cannot double in the present location of the Downtown Senior Center located in the Carver Recraation Center. Fira laws only allow 50 people at a time and the goal is to serve 92 by FY99.

There were no public comments. Since that time, the only change that has been made to 'the recommended CIP is the proposed addition of $112,868 in budgeted School Division debt service for FY 1998/99, which the Board added during budget worksessions.

Brief descriptions of the projects included in the proposed FY 98/99 Capital Improvements Budget can be found on pages 292-300 of the budget document. The impact of the proposed addition of $112,868 to debt service in FY 1998/99 is that budgeted debt service increases from $7,445,880 to $7,558,748 in FY 98/99, thereby reducing the amount of debt service reserve used by $112,868 (from $1,123,667 to $1,010,799.) These additional debt service reserve funds may be utilized by the School Division to fund future projects in FY 99/00 - 02/03.
