at 1:57 p.m. Mo~,~y Mr.' Bowerman, seconded b~ Mrs. Thomas to certi£y the
Mr. Davis smnmarized a letter""~ Cranwell received from the City regarding the
~/>__.~issue. Mr. Davis said the~'ty is ~'~ested in pursuing/'~amending~a section o£the State
flaat deals with voluntary settlement agreer~ts among local governments. This allows
:les to enter into agreements in lieu of many di~f-e~nt types of boundm3~ line scenarios
including reversion. Two of the items the City l~as indicX'~ ~hey wish to negotiate are education
and political redistricting of magiste~t~e City'Xma~d like the Board to support this
legislative amendment which wouid allow those types of items to, come part of settlement
agreements.
Mrs. Humphris said the Board has tried to maintain its policy of keeping the reversion
discussion before the public. The Board maintains its position that the two areas addressed in
this letter and the proposed legislation are non-negotiable. The Board feels this is an
infringement on local government sovereignty; it is not good public policy to put these things
into a com. The Board feels magisterial redistricting is a County responsibility and it should
remain so. The Board feels the operation of school programs is a ftmction of the School Board,
not the State. Mrs. Humphris said if the City decides to revert, the Board will be happy to
discuss terms and conditions with City Council. With regard to schools, it will always be
Albemarle County's intent to provide the highest level of education to all of the students no
matter where they live, and if reversion takes place, the citizens of the City should be assured the
County will provide a high level of programs that are suitable to all of the students.

of the project as it connects to Route 29 North. There has been no response to the letter.
Mr. Tud<er said he received a telephone call from Patsy Napier. She said VDOT is receptive
to mM(hag some changes in the areas that were brought to her attention, She is waiting for a letter
from the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority and the County's Water Resources Manager
regarding specific suggestions and recommendations.
Agenda Item No. 18. Executive Session: Legal &nd Personnel Matters.
At 11:13 a.m., motion was made by Mr. B owerman, seconded by Mrs. Thomas, to go into
executive session to discuss reversion, a tax matter, a persomael matter and appointments to boards
and commissions.
Agenda Item No. 19. Certify Executive Session. The Board reconvened into open session
at 1:5 7 p.m. Motion by Mr. Bowerman, seconded by Mrs. Thomas to certify the Executive Session.
Mr. Davis summarized a letter Mr. Cranwell received from the City regarding the reversion
issue. Mr. Davis said the City is interested in pursuing/amending a section of the State Code that
deals with voluntary settlement agreements among local governments. This allows localities to
enter into agreements in lieu of many different types of boundary line scenarios induding reversion.
Two of the items the City has indicated they wish to negotiate are education and political
redistricting of magisterial districts. The City would llke the Board to support this legislative
amendment whidr would allow those types of items to become part of settlement agreements.
Mrs. Humphris said the Board has tried to maintain its polic3z of keeping the reversion
discussion before the public. The Board maintains its position that the two areas addressed in tlris
letter and the proposed legislation are non-negotiable. The Board feels this is an infringement on
local government sovereignty; it is not good public policy to put these things into a court. The
Board feels magisterial redistricting is a County responsibility and it should remain so. The Board
feels the operation of school programs is a function of the School Board, not the State. Mrs.
Humphris said if the City decides to revert, the Board will be happy to discuss terms and
conditions with City Council. With regard to schools, it will always be Albemarle County's intent
to provide the highest level of education to all of the students no matter where they live, and if
reversion takes place, the dtizens of the City should be assured the County will provide a high level
of programs that are suitable to all of the students.

frequency of meetings, and qualifications necessary to fill the position. An
explanation of the appointment process for both magisterial and at-large
appointments will also be sent to all applicants.

OCCUR?
WE REALIZE THAT THE ROAD HAS BEEN IN THE PLANS FOR QUITE
SOMETIME, BUT, WE WOULD ASK THAT THE BOARD REVISIT THE PLAN TO
EVALUATE WHETHER THE ROAD IS STILL NEEDED GIVEN THE WIDENING OF
ROUTE 29, HYDRAULIC AND RIO ROADS. WE WOULD REQUEST THAT THE
TRAFFIC FLOW DATA TO BE USED IN THE TRANSPORTATION HODEL FOR
DETERMINING POTENTIAL USE QF THE PROPOSED ROAD NOT BE TAKEN UNTIL
ALL OF THE CURRENT CONSTRUCTION ON THE ABOVE ROADS IS COMPLETED.
WE FEEL THAT THE MOST ACCURATE STATISTICS ON THE TRAFFIC FLOW
PATTERN CANNOT BE ACHIEVED UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED.
BY TAKING THIS ACTION THE BOARD WILL HAVE THE MOST REALISTIC
PICTURE FOR DETERMINING THE NEED OF THE GREENBRIER ROAD
EXTENSION.
WE HOPE THAT THE BOARD WILL DELAY ITS DECISION ON THE ROAD
UNTIL THE MOST ACCURATE DATA IS AVAILABLE AND OUR CONCERNS ARE
CONSIDERED.
THANK YOU.
CATEGORICAL APPOINTMENTS AND "RECOMMENDING" ORGANIZATIONS
The Albemarle County. Housing Committee's operating procedures appear to mandate certain
membership categories, i.e. construction/development, real estate, financial community, legal
community, consumer and property management as well as named organizations, i.e.
Charlottesville Housing Foundation, Albemarle Housing Improvement Program and the
University of Virginia. Currently, three of those categories are unrepresented -- financial through
the resignation ofW. A. Pace and consumer and property management because they have never
been filled.
The procedures also mandate at least 10 members which implies that more members are
acceptable, if needed. When the financial position is filled we will have 10 members. I propose
that we add two more members representing the two unrepresented categories. I would like to
suggest that one of the current, unmandated positions be officially or unofficially reserved for
other non-profit housing providers such as Habitat and Jordan. Frances Lee-Vandell, who is a
member of this Committee and the Habitant board, could represent that interest.
These membership categories can provide invaluable expertise, and we should be careful in the
future to ensure that they continue to be represented on the Committee. To that end, I propose
that whenever a vacancy occurs, the Clerk of the Board not only advertise the vacancy and the
category to be filled (if any) but also notify by letter the appropriate professional organization.
This way we may draw directly f~om a concentrated source of potential applicants while a~ the
same tune giving them a stake in our activities. Professional organizations to be so notified are
listed below.
Construction/Development -- Blue Ridge Home Builders Association
Real Estate -- Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors
Financial community --
Legal community - C/A Bar Association, Women's Bar
Consumers -- Housing Office
Property management-- Blue Ridge Aparmaent Council
Other non-profit housing providers -- Habitat, Jordan Development Corporation
The Committee would also like to review applications for vacancies and have input into the
selection process so that our needs can be known and weighed along with other necessary
considerations.

Chapter i. General Provisions, and Chapter 8. Finance and Taxation, to establish a $20 service fee on all
returned checks tendered to the County, PUBLIC HEARING SET for February 5, i997, at I0:00 a.m.
Agenda Item No 17. Other Matters not Listed on the Agenda from the BOARD.
Mr. Davis summarized a letter Mr. Cranwell received from the City regarding the reversion issue.
Mr. Davis said the City is interested in pursmng/amending a section of the State Code that deals with
voluntary settlement agreements among local governments, This allows localities to enter into agreements
in lieu of many different types of boundary line scenarios including reversion, l'wo of the items the City
has indicated they wish to negotiate are education and political redistricting of magisterial districts. The
City would like the Board to support this legislative amendment which would allow those types of items
to become part of settlement agreements,
Mrs. Humphtis said the Board has tried to maintain its policy of keeping the reversion discussion
before the public. The Board maintains its position that the two areas addressed in this letter and the
proposed legislation are non-negotiable. The Board feels this ~s an infringement on local government
sovereignty; it is not good public policy to put these things into a court. The Board feels magisterial
redistricting is a County responsibility and it should remain so. The Board feels the operation of school
programs is a function of the School Board: not the State. Mrs. Humphris said if the City decides to revert,
the Board will be happyto discus terms and conditions with City Council. With regard to schools, it will
always be Albemarle County's intent to provide the highest level of education to all of the students no
matter where they live, and if reversion takes place, the citizens of the City should be assured the County
will provide a high level of programs that are suitable to all of the students.

Dear Ms. Carey:
Thanks to the fantastic tearnwork and can-do spirit of recipients, business and
community leaders and dedicated social service workers throughout Virginia. I am
pleased to annou!!~e ~a:ti'Vi~rg~ma' s histo~c welf:ar~ ~efo. rm: ~¥fl .~b~ ~9~m~ ful!5: pl~ase~ {p
~rgt:eMde~by October; t~997 :,~a..full :eightee~.~m0n. t:h~ ~_ead q~qheg~33!e.,/b :.,~'~: ?
O~/.e~ :the .p asr ~)n~: and~ oneahal'f: ;~ears,: o~:p_rin~plgd~¢~e.l Pare-re_form efforts have
led to a nearly 20% decrease in-AFDC caseioads anda-I 4% inc-re~se ia 6hii~l support
enforcement. Today, 65% of the Cornmonwealth's welfare recipients -- thousands of
Virginians -- subject to the workfare component have found work while enrolled in the
program. These successes are paying handsome dividends to taxpayers, with savings of
$24 million in the first year of our welfare reform. More importantly, former welfare
recipients across Virginia are becoming productive, self-reliant citizens of the
Commonwealth, rather than dependent and w-ithout much hope.
To help build on this extraordinary success, I am submitting several budget
amendments to the 1997 General Assembly that will provide localities with several
innovative and fiscally sound tools to assist in the accelerated implementation process and
to further reduce fraud in public assistance programs.
Last year. I started the Virginia Fatherhood Campaign in order to reverse the
growing:trend of absentee fathers in families by.stressing.~th~importance of a~f3;th.e~r'.s
involvement in the_family This program;the,firs~ o~f~its~l~ind an~here~in the.nmion, is
implemented through a multi-media campaign, statewide I:atherhood forums, seed grants
~a:nd>partnershlps'with public .and pri~=ate-sectov program~ ..-I:am submi¢ing a budget
i~mendment for 5;200,000 fo~:.funding the batherhood Campaign ~ ~tlx:~gg_h June 30, ~1998..

i am also starting another initialive, the Electronic Benefits TransIbr (EBT)
System, which wilt replace current inefficient paper-ba-sed ~'smms .for distributing cash
benefits such as food stamps w/th magnetic strip debi?cards, Because the recipienz must
enter a personal identification number, and there is an identification picture on the card,
this system will reduce the fraud and waste currently caused by the black market
exchange of food stamps for money or drugs. I am proposing $875,000 in general funds
for the EBT program.
Together, we have worked hard to reform, enhance and improve the
Commom~ea:~ph's welfare system. With these initi~tix'es:~?~.a~e ~.i~%~g gp ~ ~r prot~d - ~
legacy as Virginians: always adapting...always innovating...always improvlng...and
always striving for excellence. Most importantly, we are helping thonsands of Virginians
become self-reliant.
Thank you again for all you are doing to make communities throughout Virginia
even better places to live, work and raise a family. As always, if you have questions,
concerns or comments, please feel free to contact my office.
Wishing you mad your family a healthy, joyous and prosperous holiday' season, I
remain,
Sincerely,

Dear Ella:
Knowing of your interest in Virginia's higher education' gystem, pai:ticulafly in the
Albemarle-Charlottesville are& I :am please_A to'inform yon' that,the budget t submit hhis
year will provide millions of dollars in new funding for the University of Virg/ma.
Asyou know,'0ne Of my~top pri0rities is to' make: h/ghex education:m6re available
and affordable for Virginia's parents andstudents:. We have made tremendous progress.
In fact, one of my first actions as Governor was to stop skyrocketing tuition by restonng
$23 million to higher education that had been previously cut. I also worked with the
General Assembly to provide more than $200 million in new operating dollars to higher
education in the 1996-98 biennium as compared with the prior biennium. We also took
important steps to control the rising cost oftuition, first by capping tuition at the rate of
inflation and now by freezing tuition entirely for the next two years.
Our commitment to a quality higher education system continues. ]'he budget
amendments I propose this year will build on the significant investments we have already
made in the Commonwealth. Over and above our cra-rent investment in higher education
tlYrough the Appropriations Act. my budget contains $1.75 million in general funds and
$1.75 million inmongeneral fmtds for infrastructure~ repairs at the'School of Law's: :~: ·
Withers Hall.
I hive also authorized a $6 millioff fYa~ibititS~ S~t~dy .for th~:additiOn of 20~000geats
to Scott Stadium. Thanks tothe outstanding leadership'ofHei~d:Coach George Welsh ind

his staff, the football team is enjoying fantastic success on the field as well as in the
classroom. As such, the demand for more seating is a nice problem. Also authorized in
my budget is $4 million for planning money for the new Medical Research Building to
accommodate increased demand for modem research space. This new facility, which will
house biomedical, pathology, neuroscience and vivarian research pr~ects, will provide
improved and expanded research capabilities for graduate students. Both of these
projects will be funded through private donations, not taxpayer funds.
My budget amendments this year will also include $238,000 in general funds and
$42,000 in nongeneral funds for the renovation of the University's 700 square foot
Special Materials Handling Facility for hazardous waste consolidation and better
disposal. The existing facility for waste processing does not meet safety requirements,
but these fhnds will enable tb~ Univemity m improve its waste processing~ca~,bi!ities and
meet these important requirements.
Thank you again for your commitment to excellence in education and for all you
are doing to make communities throughout Virginia even better places to live, work and
raise a family. As always, if you have questions, concerns or comments, please feel free
to contact my office.
Wishing you and your family a healthy, joyous and prosperous holiday season, I

Dear Chairman Humphris:
This is in response to your letter of December 11, 1996, to W. B. Wall, Jr.,
chairman of the State Water Control Board. concerrang the County's continued support of the
designation of the Moormans River as an exceptional water.
At their December 12, 1996, meeting, the State Water Control Board took action on
two exceptional waters nominations. The Board adopted North Creek, which met both the
eligibility and new statutory notification requirements, and denied Crook Creek because it did
not meet the basic eligib'flity criteria. However. the Board could not take action on the
Moormans River and two other nominations ~ Stewarts Creek and Whitetop Laurel Creek -
because DEQ staff had not provided written notification m private property owners as
required under the 1996 amendment to Section 62.1-44.15:4 of the Code of Virginia.
Therefore, the Board directed staff to notify the property owners on these three waters and to
report back to the Board at the earliest opportmnity.
At the same meeting the Board directed st~ff to conduct a planning meeting, open to
the public, to discuss exceptional waters. I encourage you to attend this planning session
which will probably be scheduled in late March.
[ appreciate your offer to provide additional information. It would greatly expedite
my staff's search and identification of private property owners on the Moormans River if you
would have a representative from your tax records department contact Jean Gregory at (804)
6984113 regarding access to this information.

RE: Meadow Creek Parkway Phase II
Dear Kay:
As you know, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors recently met with our local representatives t~om the
Commonwealth Transportation Board regarding the Meadow Creek Parkway and other transportation items of
interest. During that meetin~ Messrs. Rendabnsh and Myers indicated that it would be very helpful in soliciting
design and construction funding for Phase II of the M~adow Creek Parkway if we had support of City Council
regarding this project as a future primary mad improvement. It was suggested by Messrs. Roudabush and Myers
that perhaps Primary Route 53, which serves Monticello, could be extended through the City along ~ currently
proposed Phase I of the Meadow Creek Parkway and extending through Phase II of the Meadow Creek Parkway
as it connects to Route 29 North. As you know, the Meadow Creek Parkway is a major link in the County's
network of transportation improvements serving the northern con-idor as well as the entire community.
As our Commonwealth Transportation Board members indicated, support by the City of Charlottesville for this
project as a primary road improvement will vastly improve our ability to program this project in the Virginia
Department of Transportation's Six Year Primary Road Plan. Please feel free to cenmct me or others on the
Board should you have any questions concerning this important transportation improvement project.

RE: Alternative 10 - Western By-Pass
Dear Patsy:
I have recently been informed of discussions regarding the construction of the Alternative 10 Western
By-Pass as it relates to the protection of our area's largest reservoir, the South Fork Rivanna River
Reservoir. I am concerned about what I understand to be the limited number of reservok protection
devices planned for the Western By-Pass within this drinking water supply watershed of the
Charlottesville/Albemarle area.
To amplify these concerns and explain my confusion over plans for what seem to be limited
stormwater fadlities, I have taken the liberty of providing you a copy of pages from a VDOT report
that was given to the Commonwealth Transportation Board on October 4, 1990 which speaks
specifically to the issues regarding the protect/on of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir as a
drinking water impoundment. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of taking the necessary
steps to implement the rtm-offcontrol and stormwater facilities ident'ffied in this report to ensure the
highest level of protection of this drinking water supply for our area residents.
I hope this information will be helpful to VDOT and your design consultants as you develoF final
design plans regarding this western by-pass aligxtment. Thank you for your careful attention to this

~ROM VDOT REPORT TO COMMONWEALTH TRANSPORTATION ~OARD DATED ~0/4/90
2. Recommendations
In view of the above, 'the following improvements are
recommended. These recommendations ~are made with the assumption
that other improvements as contained-in the CATS plan, including
the Meadowcreek Parkway, will also be built. It-is also assu~ed
that additional improvements to Route 29 will be built betweenthe
South Fork Rivanna River and Airport Road to provide six lanes as
contained in VDOT's six Year Improvement Program (currently
scheduled for construction in 1995/96).
a) Short Range
Construct Route 29 Base Case improvements from Hydraulio Road
to the South Fork Rivanna River. These improvements will provide
six lanes plus continuous right turn lanes with signalized at-grade
'intersections. These improvements will help satisfy the immediate
needs for additional highway capacity on existing Route 29.
The right of wa~ necessary for the construction of
interchanges, as they may be needed at Rio. Road,':Gresnbrier Drive,
and Hydraulic Road should be reserved initially.
Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville should be
encouraged to restrict, to the extent possible, further development
on the needed r~ght_ ~,, ,.'~'-.~ in ~hese areas.
Should it be necessary, we recommend that the Department
acquire any needed right of way under our advance acquisition
policies.
33
We recommend that the North Grounds . access facility be
developed as soon as possible, along with additional mass transit
to i~mediataly begin to improve traffic conditions along Business
Route 29 (Emmet Street) between the-Route 29/250 Bypass and the
University, and free up parking around the grounds of the
Univers ity.
We recommend that Alternative 10 be approved as a corridor
~or future development and Albemarle County assist in preserving
the necessary right of way - developing local plans to minimize
any future adverse impacts associated with the future development
of this cormidor.
Refined preliminary plans for Alternative 10 will be provided
to 'Albemarle County to aid local officials in the preservation of
the corridor and development of compatible land use plans.
The preservation of the Alternative 10 corridor will assist
'the' County in a no-growth position in the watershed. Access to
the corridor would only be provided at the request of the County.
b) Medium Ranqe ...-.. -:. ':...
AS traffic continues to increase and economic conditions
allow, we recommend interchanges at Ri~ Road, Greenbrier Drive, and
Hydraulic Road be constructed.
We recommend continuation of the preservation of right of way
for recommended ~lternative 10 and advance acquisition of right of
way procedures be exercised as needed and economics permit.
34
=) Lonq Renqe
At such time t-hat traffic conditions along the Route 29
corridor become unacceptable and economio conditions permit, we
recommend the oonstructien of the preserved corridor - Alternative
10.

Effective January1, 1991, all state pro~ects mus= comply with

Growth in our
'consequences:
community is a critical issue with important financial
in the past 20 years, Albemarle County has grown by 26,100 people
in the next ten years, the County is projected to grow by over 11,000 - a ~Tate of 1.6~
annually
tho County has experienced a 7.2 % increase in school enrollment since 1993
we expect to enroll an additional 867 students in our school system by the year 2000
Growth creates a need not only for additional schools but also for increased
police and fire protection, I:~rks, Iroraries and human services. To meet these need_s,
the county adopts an annual budget and a five-year plan for capital projects called the Capital
Improvements Program, or CIP. The following are examples of some major CIP items:
Selected CIP Projects...

However, with lower growth rate in real estate reassessments and declining state
revenues for education, expenditures are projected to exceed revenues
significantly over the next five years.
R'e~pondlng~ to Growth"; Reducing Services or Locating New Revenue Options
F/ithout additional funds for general cOUnty operations or capital projects, one 7zlternative is t~
larger class sizes in schools
increased travel time on school buses
longer response time for emergency police calls for service
deferred purchase and replacement of fire, rescue and police vehicles and equipment
reduced service hours at libraries, parks and other count? facilities
reduced funds to support comrmmity agencies
deferred construction of roads, athletic fields, sidewalks and other necessary capital projects
New Revenue Options include...
· Increase real estate tax
· Increase personal property tax
· Levy a food/beverage tax of no more than 4%
Y/hat Borrowing Funds means...
C)What
· In FY 1995 it cost each county resident
approximately $250 in interest on school bonds.
By FY 2002 that interest payment will inerease to

a Meals Tax Could Mean for Albemarle County
a 4% Meals Tax in Albemarle County is projected to produce at least 52.3 million annually,
of which approximately 50°~ will be paid by residents from outside Albemarle County
that amount is equivalent to about 4 cents on the real estate tax rate or 48 cents on the
personal property ~ax rate
Meals Tax revenues will go into the County's general fund, where appro~nately 60% of
...... each dollar is spend on education and the remaining 40% on police and fire protection, parks
and recreation, human services, general administration, community development and capital
impr6vements
a Meals Tax can help reduce ~he a~un~ t~e COunty needs to borrow:~Or '~i;al projects and
reduce interest charges known as debt se~ce
the maximum amount of the tax will be 4% of the cost of a meal - on a $10.00 meal, the tax
is °nly 40 cents ....
it is voluntaryi pald only if you eat oUt - it is not a tax on groceries
more than 50 Vkginia localities have a Meals Tax, including the City of Charlottesville and
Nelson and Greene Counties.
without a Meals Tax, property taxe~' will continue to bear the full burden of new school and
other improvement needs
How to Pass a Meals Tax
The ~ignatures of 4000 qualified Corers from All-)'~x~rle CoUnty are required on petitions for a Meals
Tax referendum. At an election,' voters will be asked to vote for a Meals Tax. A majority of YES
votes are needed to pass the referendum.

and requested additional information be provided by staff. The Board will hold a public
hearing on the Six Year Road Plan on February 19, 1997. at 7:00 p.m. This proiect is
schedtded for discussion at the public hearing.
Again, thank you for your comments, and they were shared with the other

EINSTEIN SCHOOL
~80 GREENBRIER DRIVE
CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA 2290~
(804) 974~I992
Greenbrier Drive Extension
Thank you for this opportunity to address the Board of Supervisors. I know you
must face difficult decisions in your work and appreciate the job you are doing. Today
I am asking you to consider deleting the proposed Greenbrier Drive extension from the
county plans. My reasons are as follows:
The road will destroy the quiet, peaceful, and safe learmn9 environment the
Einstein School now enjoys and bring instead noise, pollution,and destruction.
The wonderful quiet natural home we now enjoy would be changed forever. As
the only school in the area that helps children with learning problems, we ask
that the Board of Supervisors act to protect a valuable community resource.
The road would be a real safety hazard for the school, especially for our pnmary
age children. As it is now we hardly ever see a car at school. The road would
mean cars rushing by at 45 m.p.h.
3. The road would cause s~gnificant problems for picking up and letting off
students. We would have a high speed road running right beside our building.
How would students be safely let off and picked up? There would also be
possible traffic hazards associated with the 8:30 and 2:30 times when parents
would be turning off and entering Greenbrier Drive.
4. When the extension of Greenbrier Drive was originally proposed, Earlysville
was designated as a high growth area. and the road was designed to help
relieve commuter congestion. However. the designation of Eadysville as a high
growth area has been dropped, so the odginal purpose for the road no longer
exists.
The origl hal extension of Greenbrier Drive was also a part of a package of
improvements to Route 29 North that included a grade separated interchange at
the intersection of Greenbrier Drive and Route 29 North. Now this interchange
is no longer planned by VDOT. Therefore. the two main reasons for the
extension of Greenbrier Drive (Earlysville as a high growth area at the northem
end and a major interchange at the southern end) no longer exist,
The road comes at a cost of destruction of green space in a high density area.
On the north end the road destroys much of the open space at Einstein School.
This space is presently used for parking, student pick up and delivery, recess,
school gatherings, and athletics. It also provides open space for Townwood's
residents to walk, jog, play games, and walk their pets. On the southern end,
the road cuts through Whitewood Park, the only green space available to area
residents. The irreparable damage it would do to the park is obvious, and once
green spaces and park areas are lost, they are gone for forever. And for the
residents of the area the road would be quite destructive to their quality of life.
These quiet, safe neighborhoods would be permanently transformed by a high
speed road running through them. Besides noise, pollution and a lowering of
property values, the road would be very destructive to the sustainability of these
neighborhoods. Some residents have already said that if the road goes
through they would move.
The extension of Greenbrier Drive would not create a new outlet to Route 29. It
merely runs into Whitewood Road where Whitewood makes a sharp bend and
turns into Greenbrier Drive. If improved commuter access to the intersection of
Route 29 N and Greenbrier Drive is a concern this is already greatly facilitated
by the expansion of Hydraulic Road to four lanes. A commuter from Earlysville
has only to drive to Whitewood Road and turn left; this route is only ,4 of a mile
longer than the proposed Greenbrier Drive Extension. Whitewood Road-
Greenbrier Ddve is already four lanes on both ends (at Albemarle High School
and at Rt. 29 N) and could easily be expanded to four lanes in between. By
using the expanded Hydraulic Road-Whitewood Road route, the Board of
Supervisors could save not only the quality of life of Einstein School, the
neighborhoods affected, and Whitewood Park, but also the 1.7 million dollar
price tag of the road.
Thank you.
