STAFF CONTACTIS): Messrs. Tucker, Heilman April 9, 1997 ACTION: INFORMATION: CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: X INFORMATION: BACKGROUND: Population growth in the Monticetio precinct has increased the voter rolls so that signiticant overcrowding occurs at the current polling place, Piedmont Virginia Community College, on election day. DISCUSSION: While some of the overcrowding results from temporary problems with the physical space at PVCC, in the opinion of the Electoral Board the best solution is to split the precinct roughly in half and establish a new polling place at Cale Elementary School. To do this requires Board action to modify Section 6-6 (b) of the County Code, which delineates the boundaries of the Monticello precinct and adds a Section 6-6 (e), delineating the boundaries of the new precinct. The recommendation of the Electoral Board has met with approval from Supervisor Marshall, Gerald Terrell, Principal of Cale, and Dr. Casmer. The proposed precinct would be bounded by: the southern city limits, Scottsvitle Road,. Red Hill Road, Old Lynchburg Road, and Sunset Avenue Extended. Estimated cost in addition to staff time: Mailing of new voter cards Copy supplies Purchase/programming voting machine (already requested in budget) Total $640 50 $5,200 $5,890 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board set a public hearing for May 7th to amend the County Code to modity Section 6-6 (b) and add Section 6-6 (e) to create the Cale precinct at Cale Elementary School. 97.074 Dasd P.

All localities w/thin Virginia sent budget instructions to ali departments. On November 6, the Board provided the County Executive with financial guidelines for the development of the budget, In mid.Decem- bet, all departments submitted budgets to thc County Execu- tive's Office From the middle of December to the middle of January, the executive affreviews budget requests and develops budget- related questions. In Januaw through February, all depart- menrs meet with the executive budget staff to review and answer all questions relating to their budget requests. From these discussions, the executive stuff develops recommenda- tions ranging from the funding of new programs to the reduc- tion of funding for current programs. In mid-February, the School Superintendent submits the School Budget to the County Executive and the executive slaffmviews the School Budget. At the end of February, the County Executive makes the necessary adjustments,, to balance the budget and staffpfints the County l}xecutive'sRecommeudedB~tdget.

Staff has reviewed this request and determined that the pamel that the strip is being acquired from will consist of approximately 8.1 acres which will leave 6.6 acres should the Board approve the acquisition of land. Staff believes that, as long as utility easements over this 75 foot strip are preserved= this sale would not adversely impact the master plan associated with development of this parcel. The Building Grounds Committee has reviewed this proposal and are recommending to the Board that a public headng to be held to dispose of this 1.494 acres to Tandem School at a price of $20,000 per acre which approximates the County's investment in this property to date. Additionally, the Building and Grounds Committee is recommending that a stipulation of this sale include availability for use of this soccer field by the public at times not used by Tandem School in exchange for some assistance with trash pickup and portable toilet facilities. Mr. Pat Mullaney, Director of Parks and Recreation, believes that this field would be a great benefit to have available to the community and is willing to work through the issues on trash cleanup and toilet facilities while working with the scheduling issues. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board accept the Building Grounds Committee's recommendation and hold a public headng to dispose of this property under the conditions outlined above. 97.068 To: Rick Huff From: Jack Kelsey Subject: Tandem School Date: 3/20/97 Time: 4:48PM As requested, I investigated the potential impacts of selling to Tandem School a 75 foot wide strip of the County property adjacent to their existing soccer field. The subdivision plat and portion of the site plan for the new high school were used to conduct the study. I11 have my sketches delivered to you separately. The subject parcel (TMP 91-2E) has a total area of 15.32 acres. The future road right-of-way (0.4 acres) to access the future County facilities and potentially the adjacent Kimco property will divide the parcel into two parcels. The western parcel with approximately 6.8 acres and the eastern parcel with approximately 8.1 acres. The 75 foot wide strip has an area of 1.5 acres and reduce the eastern parcel to 6.6 acres. An existing drainage swale runs along the center of this strip for its entire length and discharges into a culvert that will be constructed with the Connector Road. Tandem's placement of fill to construct their new soccer field will relocate this swale westward To run aIong the new property-line. Though this action moves the swale closer, the majority of the eastern parcal is significantly higher in elevation than the swale. Based on the shape of the eastern parcel, the topography, and the presents of the existing swale, I do not see the sale of this strip having a significant impact on the developability of this parcel. However, without the benefit of a master plan I cannot determine if the size of the remaining parcel is large enough to accommodate what the County intends to build. A new sewer line will be extended under the road and a manhole constructed adjacent to the culvert previously referenced. Any development by ihe County on the eastern aarcel will need to connect sewerline(s) to this manhole. The proposed 75' stdp will seoarate County property from this manhole. Any purchase agreement would need to include provisions for a permanent sanitary sewer easement and for temporary easements as needed to construct a connection to this manhole. I hope you find this information helpful. Please calf me if you have any questions or need additional information. Have a great day! Jack M.

Martinez Secretary of Transportation Chairman, Commonwealth Transportation Board t401 East Broad Street Richmond, VA 23219 RE: Route 29 North Bypass - Albemarle County - Number 6029-002-F22,BE-101 Dear Secretary Martinez: I recently received notice from your office that public comment will not be received at your up coming work session or at the CTB meeting on the above referenced bypass project proposal. However, since I had planned to make several comments on the proposed project on behalf of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, I am submitting those comments for your information and consideration by the CTB members. Sincerely, RWTjr/bat 97-3 pc: Commonwealth Transportation Board Members Albemarle Coumy Board of Supervisors ALREMARLE COUNTY'S POSITION ON THE PROPOSED BYPASS The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors was never in favor of this proposed Bypass and only consented to the building of this proposed Bypass when then Secretary of Transportation Milliken asked it to do so, based upon two Commonwealth Transportation Board resolutions that the proposed Bypass would not be built until all other planned road improvements in the Route 29 corridor were completed and then onlyiftrafficconditionswereunacceptable. The State's traffic studies had shown that if the other improvements were built, the Bypass would not be necessary. As late as June 30, 1994, the Secretary of Transportation continued to assure the County that the specific sequence would be followed. It is clear now that the agreed upon sequencing of projects will not be followed and VDOT is proposing immediate construction of the Bypass. Consistent with its earlier position, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on April 9, 1997 to withdraw all support for this Bypass and to request that your Board cease the expenditure of any further public funds on the project. The Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization voted unanimously on July 25, 1996 to withhold construction funding for this Bypass until such time as the original sequencing of projects was restored. The Citizens' Bypass Design Advisory Committee passed a resolution on October 24, 1996, stating that after a long and diligent study, its conclusion was that the road should not be bulk because it could not meet the design criteria established for review of the project. There are many reasons for Albemarle County's strong opposition to this project. Two &the major reasons are: The proposed Bypass is not necessarily a solution to either long or short- term traffic problems on Route 29. The State's own traffic studies show that construction of the Bypass at a cost of $180 million will leave the level of service on Route 29 at The State's studies also show that through traffic is a very small component of the total traffic on Route 29. In the year 2010, only 2,204 of the 70,000 vehicles per day on Route 29 will be north/south through-traffic according to the $3.7 million Sverdrup Origin and Designation Traffic Study. · As designed, the northern terminus of the Bypass would be south of The proposed Bypass would run through 4.2 miles of the Reservoir watershed, at places on steep slopes directly above the Reservok and near the intake for the water treatment plant. The proposed Bypass poses a long-term threat to the life of this Reservoir and an acute threat from potential hazardous spill. A letter from the EPAto Chief Engineer Browder dated February 26, 1997, reads, "Alternative 10 poses long-term risks to the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir, the only drinking water source for the County for the foreseeable future," This is the largest Reservoir serving the entire urban area of Albemarle County and Charlottesville and we intend and must protect it. VDOT has assigned an employee of the Highway Research Council, Dr. Shaw Yu, to work on certain concerns that the County has with the potential impact of the proposed Bypass on the Reservoir. However, we would note the following: Dr. Yu cannot guarantee that there will not be a major toxic spill from this highway into the Reservoir which might render our Reservoir useless for a long period of time. A significant toxic spill occurred just two weeks ago in Albemarle County onU. S. Route 250 East; fortunately, it was nowhere near the Reservoir. Dr Yu has not provided even a rough estimate of the amount of silt from the construction of the proposed Bypass that would run into the Reservoir. We have already lost 22% of the Reservotr capacny to siltation Dr. Yu has not quantified the level of road chemicals and other products that would drain into the Reservoir on a regular basis from the proposed Bypass. This problem is specifically pointed out in the Environmental Impact Statement. At a meeting recently in Charlottesville, Dr. Yu compared the impact of this Bypass on our Reservoir to the impact of the proposed Route 17 Bypass on the Warrenton Reservoir. The Route 17 Bypass is approximately 1 ½ miles away from the Warrenton Reservoir. The proposed Route 29 Bypass is on steep slopes immediately above the Reservoir and the intake to the water treatment plant. We don't find the situations comparable MEADOW CREEK PARKWAY Having the Meadow Creek Parkway funded as a primary road has been Albemarle County's highest priority road project for the past six years.
