would prohibit issuance of a building permit for any structure to be served by an individual well
located on a qualifying lot of record until the applicant submits the groundwater assessment
information (including a well drilling completion report) required by Albemarle County Code § 17-
401. Section 32.5.7 would require that developers submit with each preliminary site plan the
groundwater assessment information required by Albemarle County Code §§ 17-403 or 17-404,
as applicable. The amendment to section 35.0 would impose fees to cover the cost of services
rendered by the County in reviewing and approving the information, reports, documents and plans
required to be submitted under sections 31.2.2 and 32.5.7, and other expenses incident to the

required by Albemarle County Code §§ 17-403 and 17-404, as applicable, would be submitted in
conjunction with the submittal of the preliminary plat, and that all such assessments and plans
.
~
would be satisfactorily completed prior to final plat approval. The amendment to section 14-203

approving the groundwater assessments, groundwater management plans and acquifer testing
workplans required to be submitted under section 14-308.1, and other expenses incident to the
administration of the Zoning Ordinance related thereto. The fees for the groundwater assessment

Albemarle County Code § 17-402: $250.00 plus $25.00 per lot; groundwater assessment
information under Albemarle County Code § 17-403: $400.00 plus $25.00 per lot; groundwater

Water Protection, of the Albemarle County Code. The purpose of this ordinance is to promote
the long-term sustainability of groundwater resources by requiring that certain land development
approvals (building permits, subdivision plats, site plans) and central water supplies that will rely
on privately owned wells serving as the primary source of potable water be subject to a
groundwater assessment. The nature of the land development approval will determine which of
four tiers of groundwater assessment will be required (Sections 17-401 through 17-405). The
required groundwater assessments range from drilling a well on the lot and submitting required
information to the County's program authority (e.g., as a prerequisite to issuance of a building
permit for a new structure on a lot of record less than 21 acres), to reviewing and evaluating data,
to submitting for approval a groundwater management plan meeting the applicable requirements
(e.g., prior to approval of a preliminary subdivision plat creating 4 or more lots where at least 3 of
the lots are 5 acres or less). Satisfactorily completing the applicable requirements of the
groundwater assessment would become a prerequisite to the land development approval.
Section 17-405 would require that each owner seeking approval of an assessment pay the
applicable fee imposed by Albemarle County Code § 18-35.0 (zoning) and Albemarle County
Code § 14-203 (subdivisions). The ordinance would become effective February 8,2005.

ORDINANCE NO. 04-A.1 (2)
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND APPENDIX A.1, ACQUISITION OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
PROGRAM, OF THE CODE OF THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE, VIRGINIA
BE IT ORDAINED By the Board of SupelVisors of the County of Albemar1e, Virginia, that Appendix A.1 ,
Acquisition of ConselVation Easements Program, of the Code of the County of Albemarle is amended as
follows:
By Amending:
Sec. A.1-110 Application and evaluation procedure.
APPENDIX A.1.
Acquisition of Conservation Easements Program
Sec. A.1-110. Application and evaluation procedure.
Each application for a conselVation easement shall be processed as follows:
A. Application materials to be provided to owner. The application materials provided
by the program administrator to an owner shall include, at a minimum, a standard application
form, a sample deed of easement, and information about the ACE program.
B. Application form. Each application shall be submitted on a standard form prepared by
the program administrator. The application form shall require, at a minimum, that the owner: (i) provide
the name of all owners of the parcel, the address of each owner, the acreage of the parcel, the Albemar1e
County tax map and parcel number, the zoning designation of the parcel, and permission for the program
administrator to enter the property after reasonable notice to the owner to evaluate the parcel and for the
county assessor or an independent appraiser to appraise the property; and (iQ state his adjusted gross
income for the three (3) prior tax years, as explained in section A.1-111(B). The application form shall
also include a space for an owner to indicate that he volunteers to have the parcel be subject to greater
restrictions than those contained in the standard sample deed of easement, and to delineate those
voluntary, additional restrictions.
C. Additional application information required by program administrator. The program
administrator may require an owner to provide additional information deemed necessary to determine: (i)
whether the proposed easement is eligible for purchase; and (ii) the purchase price of the easement.
D. Submittal of application. Applications shall be submitted to the office of the program
administrator. An application may be submitted at any time. However, applications received after
October 31 shall be evaluated in the following year.
E. Evaluation by program administrator. The program administrator shall evaluate each
application received and determine within fifteen (15) days whether the application is complete. If the
application is incomplete, the program administrator shall inform the owner in writing of the information
that must be submitted in order for the application to be deemed complete. When an application is
deemed complete, the program administrator shall determine whether the parcel satisfies the eligibility
criteria set forth in section A.1-107 and, if it does, shall determine the number of points to be attributed to
the parcel by applying the criteria set forth in section A.1-108. The program administrator shall then rank
each parcel scoring at least fifteen (15) points, with the parcel scoring the most pOints being the highest
ranked and descending therefrom, and submit the list of ranked parcels to the ACE committee.
F. Evaluation and ranking by ACE committee. The ACE committee shall review the list of
ranked parcels submitted by the program administrator and shall rank the parcels in the order of priority it
recommends the easements shall be purchased. The committee shall then forward to the board of
supervisors its recommendation of which conservation easements should be purchased.
G. Evaluation and ranking by board of supervisors. The board of supervisors shall review
the list of ranked parcels submitted by the ACE committee and identify on which parcels it desires
conservation easements. The board shall then rank those parcels on which it will seek to purchase
conservation easements. Nothing in this appendix shall obligate the board to purchase a conservation
easement on any property that meets the minimum number of qualifying points.
H. Appraisal of conservation easement value. Each conservation easement identified by the
board of supervisors to be purchased shall be appraised either by the county assessor or by an
independent qualified appraiser chosen by the county. Each completed appraisal shall be submitted to
the program administrator and the owner. The program administrator shall forward each appraisal to the
appraisal review committee, which shall review each appraisal and make recommendations thereon to
the board of supervisors.
I. Requirements and deadlines may be waived. Any requirement or deadline set forth in
this appendix may be waived by the board of supervisors if, for good cause, it is shown that exigent
circumstances exist to warrant consideration of an otherwise untimely application, or it is shown that the
requirements unreasonably restrict the purchase of an easement. Under these circumstances, the board
may purchase a conservation easement at any time it deems necessary and subject to only those
requirements it deems appropriate.
J. Reapplication. An owner whose parcel is not selected for purchase of a conservation
easement may reapply in any future year.

PROFFER STATEMENT
The following parcels are subject to rezoning application ZMA 2004-0015 and thus to this proffer
statement: tax map parcel 05902-01-00-01500 and the portion of tax map parcel 07500-00-0Q..06300
shown as Parcel "X" containing 1.774 acres, on a proposed subdivision plat prepared by Thomas B.
Lincoln Land Surveyor, Inc. entitled "Subdivision Plat Showing Parcel "X" - - Being a Portion of Tax Map
75 Parcel 63 Hereby Added to and Becoming a Portion of Tax Map 590(2) Parcel 1-15, Samuel Miller
District, Albemar1e County, Virginia," which subdivision plat is dated November 16, 2004, and is attached
hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the "Property"). The Applicant is University of Virginia Host Properties,
Inc. The owner of tax map parcel 05902-01-00-01500 is University of Virginia Host Properties, Inc. The
owner of tax map parcel 07500-00-00-06300 is the University of Virginia Foundation. For purposes of this
proffer statement, University of Virginia Host Properties, Inc., and the University of Virginia Foundation
are herein collectively referred to as the "OWner."
The OWner hereby voluntarily proffers that if the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors acts to
rezone the portion of tax map parcel 059D2-01-00-01500 that is zoned R-1 Residential to Highway
Commercial, and the portion of tax map parcel 07500-00-00-06300 shown as Parcel ·X" containing 1.774
acres on Exhibit A from R-1 Residential to Highway Commercial as requested, the OWner and its
successors and assigns shall develop the Property in accord with the following proffers pursuant to
Section 15.2-2298 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and pursuant to Section 33.3 of the
Albernar1e County Zoning Ordinance. These conditions are voluntarily proffered as part of the requested
rezoning, and the OWner acknowledges that (1) the rezoning itself gives rise to the need for the
conditions; and (2) such conditions have a reasonable relation to the rezoning requested.
In the event the request is denied the proffers shall immediately be null and void and of no further
force or effect. If the zoning is granted, these proffers and conditions will supersede all proffers now
existing on the Property.
1. Development of the Property shall be in general accord with the plan entitled "Boar's Head Sports
Club Conceptual Plan" prepared by the University of Virginia Foundation, dated November 22, 2004,
containing two (2) pages, and attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Development Plan"). The Oevelopment
Plan shall not be construed to prohibit the realignment of the 14 existing outdoor tennis courts, subject to
existing provisions of the Albemar1e County zoning ordinance, provided that the courts remain in the area
marked "14 Existing Outdoor Courts" shown on the Development Plan. The OWner will break up the
massing of the proposed improvements by dividing them into multiple segments and/or structures (or
creating the appearance of multiple segments and/or structures with a terraced roof line) and
then locating the different segments and/or structures at various final elevation levels, all as reasonably
possible given the Property's site constraints and applicable regulations and ordinances. Unless
specifically referenced on the Development Plan, or otherwise referenced in this proffer statement, all
other plans and illustrations submitted as part of the Owner's rezoning materials shall be deemed
illustrative only, and such plans and illustrations shall not be deemed proffers. The Owner reserves the
right to develop the Property in phases, as shown on the Development Plan.

BACKGROUND:
At the Board of Supervisors strategic planning retreat in October 2003, the Board identified the County's growth and
urbanization as a critical issue and established a new strategic planning goal related to urbanization. At this year's retreat,
the Board continued its focus on growth and urbanization by providing direction to staff regarding the desire to pursue an
"Urbanizing County" level of service for the County's transportation and streetscape needs. For transportation needs, this
level of service focuses on providing "essential link" transportation projects, minimizing the use of private streets, and
continuing to rely on VDOT for street maintenance. For streetscape needs, it includes the County becoming more involved
in the construction and maintenance of streetscape in development areas, as determined by master plans. For streetscape
outside master planned areas, construction would be considered through the CIP process, based on the availability of funds.
In both transportation and streetscape, the County would continue to expect development to provide a significant portion of
the initial infrastructure.
Simultaneous with the development of strategies for this urbanization goal, staff was in the process of developing and
reviewing a draft Subdivision Text Amendment (STA) with the Planning Commission that incorporated recommendations
from the Neighborhood Model Implementation Plan approved by the Board. The STA is one of a number of tools that will be
used to implement the County's vision of the urban areas, reflected in the Neighborhood Model. The ST A was reviewed by
the Planning Commission, recommended for approval and was presented to the Board several months ago. After several
work sessions regarding the originally proposed ordinance, that included input from the development community and staff
regarding implementation issues, the Board requested DISC II to provide additional input on the ordinance. DISC II's
recommendations were provided to the Board at the December 1 sl Board meeting.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 2.1: Protect and/or preserve the County's rural Character
Goal 3.3: Develop and implement policies that address the County's growth and urbanization while continuing to enhance
the factors that contribute to the quality of life in the County.
DISCUSSION:
The attached staff analysis compares DISC II 's position regarding the proposed ordinance with the Board's recent direction
regarding an 'Urbanizing County' level of service. Staff agrees with most of the recommendations included in the proposed
ordinance provided by DISC II, particularly those that establish new requirements (overlot grading, curbs and gutters) that
will be necessary to achieve a higher level of density in the development areas. While staff believes that DISC II's
recommendations are responsive to developing an ordinance to implement the Neighborhood Model, staff also believes
these recommendations will require a level of service beyond that of an 'Urbanizing County'. In addition, DISC II's
recommendations were not intended to address a number of the critical questions regarding fiscal and organizational
impacts that will need to be answered prior to adoption of the ordinance. Therefore, based on the "Urbanizing County" level
of service, staff is not in agreement with some of DISC II's recommendations. Ultimately, the Board will need to provide
direction on several major policy issues prior to staff being able to finalize an ordinance. These issues are primarily related
to responsibility for ongoing maintenance and replacement and will have significant implications regarding the size of the
County's public works operation or the expectations of property owners. The most significant questions are:
AGENDA TITLE:
Urban Infrastructure and STA Work Session: STA-01-08, Comprehensive Revision of the Subdivision Ordinance.
December 8, 2004
Page 2
1. Does the Board support allowing private streets that are not designed to meet VDOT standards? If so, who will be
responsible for maintaining and replacing streets?
2. Does the Board support street trees being required within six foot planting strips between curbs and sidewalks? If
so, who will be responsible for maintaining and replacing street trees?
3. Does the Board support the requirement for sidewalks in all new subdivisions? If so, who will be responsible for
maintaining and replacing sidewalks in VDOT right of ways if VDOT roads are required? Who will be responsible
for maintaining and replacing sidewalks on private roads, if private streets are permitted?
4. Regarding the above mentioned infrastructure, if property owners will be responsible for ongoing maintenance and
replacement, does the Board support a stringent Property Owners' agreement that requires the establishment of
escrow accounts and involves county monitoring of these accounts and of ongoing maintenance.
While answering these questions will not resolve all of the issues contained in the proposed ordinance, they will significantly
effect how the ordinance is finalized. Since the enclosed comments from the Slue Ridge Home Builders were not received
until just prior to completing this executive summary, additional discussion on the ordinance beyond Wednesday's work
session may be necessary. However, staff does not recommend further revision to the ordinance prior to the Board
providing direction on the questions raised above. Therefore, the first part of Wednesday's work session will be set up to
focus on these questions and better defining the level of service the Board wishes to pursue, rather than the details of the
language proposed in the ST A.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the attached analysis and previous discussion, staff recommends the following for each part of the STA.
Interconnections
Staff supports the DISC II recommendation to require street interconnections and allow for waivers when appropriate. Staff
also recommends that some form of financial assurance be required when a waiver only delays eventual construction to
assure that the interconnection is paid for by the developers.
Overlot qradinq
Staff supports the DISC II recommendations regarding overlot grading.
Private Streets
Staff believes that private streets should be discouraged in most development and, when approved, should always be
constructed to VDOT standards to assure they are accepted into the State system for maintenance in the future should the
property owners petition the County to assume responsibility for the streets.
Urban Street Features
Staff supports DISC II's recommendations for urban street design and sidewalks, noting that additional county funding for
future sidewalk maintenance will likely be required. Staff requests Board direction regarding the location of street trees.

Attachment A
Staff analysis of DISC II recommendations
The STA was initiated as part of the implementation plan for the Neighborhood Model. The Neighborhood Model form of
development is intended to create attractive and desirable places to live while providing better utilization of the developable
land. Better utilization of this land would reduce the need to consider expansion of the Development Areas. In providing this
assessment, staff has focused on the STAas a means to allow implementation of the Neighborhood Model. Staff recognizes
some have questioned whether the Neighborhood Model is "a" form of development or "the" form of development to be used in
the Development Areas. Staff has assumed that, regardless of the form of development, the underlying objective of the ST A is
to provide for higher density development and the need to expand the Development Areas.
In evaluating the ST A recommendations, it is important to make a distinction between proposed new requirements necessitated
by better utilization of the developable land and those driven by establishing the form of development promoted through the
Neighborhood Model.
Infrastructure considered necessary for higher density includes curb and gutter streets, street interconnections, and
overlot grading plans. Regardless of whether the form of development is consistent with the Neighborhood Model, this
infrastructure is appropriate to assure sustainable development where higher densities are promoted.
Other infrastructure is necessitated by the form of development promoted with the Neighborhood Model, but can only
be successfully implemented on an area-wide basis. Sidewalks are an example of this infrastructure. If sidewalks are
not required of all development, a pedestrian orientation, which is a key element of the Neighborhood Model, will not be
achieved to the level called for in the Neighborhood Model.
Finally, some infrastructure addresses the need for consistency with the form of development promoted with the
Neighborhood Model rather than the need for higher density development. Narrower streets that better fit the terrain,
which are only possible as private streets, and street trees are both considered important parts of the Neighborhood
Model. While that infrastructure is not needed to provide sustainable high density, it provides aesthetics considered
important for creating high quality, desirable urban communities. Staff notes that private streets also provide more
flexibility in subdivision design and require less right-of-way, which makes private streets an attractive option for the
development community as a way of offsetting costs associated with the improvements being required with the ST A.
However, private streets also require maintenance and replacement to be handled by someone other than VDOT.
This represents a significant policy change for the County and will have to be carefully considered.
DISC II's recommendations for the amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance have focused on four particular areas. Those are
interconnecting streets, private streets, overlot grading, and urban street features, which include curb and gutter, sidewalks and
street trees. For each of the aforementioned areas, staff provides the Board with an overview of the potential conflicts
between those recommendations and an 'Urbanizing County' level of service.
Interconnections
Staff notes that a major component of the 'Urbanizing County' transportation strategy is providing "essential links." While this
approach recognizes that the County will need to construct some of these links, it also calls for the completion of essential links
within new development. This ordinance amendment is intended to assure those connections are constructed as part of the
development rather than requiring the County to construct them after the fact. Staff believes this is consistent with the
'Urbanizing County' transportation strategy. The waiver provisions in the DISC II recommendation should be noted. This waiver
could allow the developer to avoid constructing this street interconnection to the property line, but would require right of way
dedication and construction easements for the proposed street. While intended to restrict the circumstances where the
development does not actually build these interconnections, there is the possibility that the Planning Commission could approve
the waiver and the County might need to complete the interconnection at a later date. To minimize the County's financial risk in
these circumstances, staff recommends the waiver consideration include how the future connections would be completed. This
might include escrowing of the cost for completing this interconnection. When the adjoining property develops, those escrow
funds could be transferred to that developer with completion of the interconnection or the County could use the fund to
complete the street. Once completed, the street would then be turned over to VDOT for maintenance. Staff notes this
provision would have a cost to the County for maintenance of escrow accounts and management of construction projects to
complete streets in some cases.
Private Streets
The STA proposes that private streets be allowed by exception through a waiver approved by the Planning Commission. In
considering waivers for streets in the Development Areas, DISC II recommends the Planning Commission evaluate waivers
with respect to the goals of the County's Comprehensive Plan, which includes the Neighborhood Model. This is fairly consistent
with the existing Subdivision Ordinance. The primary difference is the DISC II recommended ST A would allow private streets
to be designed in keeping with the Neighborhood Model, while the current ordinance requires private streets to be consistent
with Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) standards. VDOT will only accept streets into its maintenance system that
meet its street standards. Some of the streets proposed in the Neighborhood Model would not meet VDOT standards, creating
a circumstance where the maintenance of these streets could become the County's obligation should homeowner association
be unable to maintain the street. Staff believes the County could approach this situation in one of three ways:
1. The County could prohibit private streets except where maintenance agreements are created that assure the perpetual
maintenance of the streets. Those agreements would include provisions for assuring street maintenance is adequately funded
and that necessary maintenance is actually performed. If this option is selected by the Board, staff notes there would be a
cost to the County for administration of the private street agreements, which could include additional staff. Additionally, staff
considers it unlikely that an "ironclad" agreement could be created that assures the County is never petitioned to assume
responsibility for the street. Eventually, this would likely require the County to consider being responsible for street
maintenance. Staff believes this is inconsistent with the Board's transportation strategies for an 'Urbanizing County'.
2. The County could allow private streets to be built knowing that eventually those streets would become the County's
maintenance responsibility. This requires the County to accept that it will need to maintain streets, a service that can be costly
and is currently only used by two counties in Virginia. However, those Counties's have a different form of government and
receive a portion of the VDOT allocation. Staff believes this option is inconsistent with the Board's transportation strategies for
an 'Urbanizing County'.
3. The County could require that private streets be constructed to VDOT standards. This would allow a private street to be
turned over to VDOT for maintenance should the property owners ever petition the County to take the street over in the future.
Although this may not attain the ideal of the Neighborhood model, no foreseeable organizational changes would be necessary
and this approach is consistent with the existing Subdivision Ordinance. This would assure that private streets become public
streets maintained by VDOT should the homeowners be unable or unwilling to continue maintaining them. However, if these
private streets are not maintained adequately and the homeowner eventually request the County to take them over, staff notes
there remains a financial risk that the County will be expected to bring that street up to current VDOT standards before VDOT
would accept it for maintenance. Historically, when homeowners petitioned the County to take over private streets, the County
has required the homeowners to first bring the street to a service level that VDOT is willing to accept. That avoids the County
need to improve these streets. Finally, staff would note that private roads in the rural area in subdivisions of six lots or less are
currently allowed to be built to a different standard than acceptable to VDOT, but the County has not been asked to assume
maintenance responsibility for those roads.
Overlot Gradinq
The STA requires lots smaller than 20,000 square feet in area to have an overlot grading plan. The overlot grading plan is
intended to assure adequate drainage across lots, safe driveways and access, and yards that can be stabilized. While most of
these provisions are intended to address safe and usable lots, staff recognizes the drainage provisions also reduce the risk of
the County undertaking expensive drainage projects to rectify drainage problems in the future. Staff concurs with the DISC II
recommendation and believes this section is appropriate to minimize that risk of future County drainage projects and to assure
sustainable development.
Urban Street Features
These street features can be divided into two categories, urban street sections and streetscape. Urban street sections require
streets with curbs and storm sewer systems, while rural street sections rely on ditches for drainage. Unlike rural street design,
the urban street section is typically sized to allow on-street parking. DISC II recommends the STA require urban section
streets, but allows the Planning Commission to waive this requirement under specific circumstances where the urban street is
not likely to be needed in the future. Staff concurs with this recommendation. With increased development density, this street
section is appropriate and avoids the risk of expensive street improvements in the future due to deterioration of rural section
streets impacted by illegally parked vehicles on the shoulder of these streets.
Streetscape includes facilities and amenities along streets, with the primary emphasis on sidewalks and street trees. Sidewalks
along public streets will be maintained by VDOT, though at a lower service level than typically considered acceptable by the
County. Sidewalks along private streets would be maintained by the homeowners. VDOT does not maintain street trees.
Street trees require the homeowners or the County to be responsible for maintenance.
DISC II views both sidewalks and street trees as essential components of the Neighborhood Model and recommends they be
required throughout the Development Areas. Waivers of either requirement would be considered by the Planning Commission,
based on the likelihood of any future need for the improvements. Staff supports DISC II's position on sidewalks, but notes
there is a strong likelihood that additional county funding for sidewalk maintenance will be required. This is consistent with the
'Urbanizing County' level of service for streetscape recently reviewed with the Board. DISC II has recommended 6-foot planting
strips between the curb and sidewalk for street trees to be provided along streets. Should this requirement for planting strips be
adopted in the STA and constructed for the purpose of planting trees, it is likely the County will need to develop a street tree
program that will require additional maintenance funding. Similar to the earlier discussion regarding private streets, the option of
requiring maintenance agreements with property owner association exists, but this would require County resources to form and
enforce agreements. Additionally, staff believes there would be likelihood that property owners would eventually petition the
County to assume responsibility for the street trees when future maintenance becomes expensive for the property owners. As
was discussed by the Board at a recent work session on this issue, the Board may want to consider requiring the trees to be
planted in the homeowners' yards rather than the street right of way. That option eliminates the need for County maintenance,
but it would either eliminate the assurance the trees would remain (the property owner could remove the trees or fail to maintain
the trees) or would require County agreements with the property owner association to assure the trees are perpetually
maintained. Finally, it should be noted that putting the trees in the front yard would also require less width for the right of way,
which is considered desirable by the development community. The planting strips could be reduced from six foot widths to
three foot widths, which is the minimum required by VDOT.

Mr. Lindsey Dorrier, Jr.
Chairman
Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
401 McIntire Road
Charlottesville, VA 22901
Dear Chainnan Dorrier,
. Thank you . for postponing the Board of Supervisors discussion until the interested parties
had enough time to complete a thorough review of the revised Subdivision Text
Amendment (ST A). The Blue Ridge Home Builders Association (BRHBA) wishes to
reaffirm our support for. a subdivision text amendment that removes sections of the
Albemarle County Code that are in conflict with the Neighborhood Model form of
development but does not mandate one form of development. To reiterate once again,
please know. that BRHBA continues to strongly oppose the Neighborh~od Model as
'thee' only model of development. The BRHBA cannot support the draft amendment as
written.
As you are well aware, BRHBA has been actively engaged in this ST A review process
since the beginning. In addition to our many letters and our members countless hours in
meetings discussing this issue, BRHBA presented the Board of Supervisors a study that
illustrated many of the challenges of enacting this ordinance.
. BRHBA wishes to thank Mark Graham, the Albemarle County Director of Community
Development, for his willingness to sit down and discuss our concerns with the ordinance
and work toward solutions. While BRHBA does not agree with Mr. Graham on aU
issues, we appreciate the time he spent to understand our perspective and we respect his
professional opinion and candor.
BRHBA sincerely appreciates the significant time commitment of our members who
have served on the DISC II committee. Many of the concepts and concerns included in
this letter were raised in the DISC II committee. It is of great distress to BRHBA that
DISC II chose to ignore (or out vote) the concerns of minority membership of the
engineering and development community. With all due respect to each member of DISC
II and their professional opinion, it has been suggested by some that the membership of
DISC II was designed to ensure a predetermined outcome.

The Blue Ridge Home Builders Association firmly supports the creation of a new
Subdivision Text Amendment which removes roadblocks to the implementation of the
Neighborhood Model and does not mandate one form of development. The following
constructive criticism is designed to help formulate a workable amendment that BRHBA
can wholeheartedly support.
Mandated Reservation and Construction of Streets to Property Lines (14-409-B).
BRHBA references James Theobald's March 29th letter where he indicated there is no
enabling legislation that allows such a provision. In his words,
"The County cannot require you to reserve highways and streets on your subdivision
plan even if shown on a thoroughfare plan. There is a "put" provision in the State
Code that upon notice, they can either acquire and compensate or let you go."
Larry Davis, Albemarle County Attorney, replied in his opinion such enabling
legislation does exist.
Beyond the enabling issue, we feel the section, as written, does not promote orderly
development. As written, this section rewards property owners that do not cooperate
with adjacent development. It will provide not only improved access at no cost, but
will require the adjacent development to give them remnant pieces of land. There is
no incentive for an adjacent property owner to share in the cost of construction,
donate right-of-way, or grant construction easements. BRHBA believes that this will
discourage, not encourage, responsible growth.
RECOMMENDATION 1: On the surface, both these opinions have legal merit,
BRHBA strongly encourages Albemarle County to either remove this section or at a
minimum obtain the opinion of the State Attorney General on this subject prior to
passing this subsection.
Mandated Overlot Grading Plan (14-313). As a practical matter, if Albemarle
County chooses to move forward with this section in its entirety, the county should
express should publicly recognize that most, if not all, of existing trees will be
removed at the start of a development project. We would also note these regulations
may effectively outlaw basement garages. This recognition is important for the
public to understand the removal of these trees is mandated by Albemarle County's
implementation plan for a more urban form of development.
RECOMMENDATION 2: Create a bailout clause so that areas with average slopes
below 10% grade (a rare occurrence in Albemarle County) do not require a grading
plan.
Albemarle County should better educate the public as to the trade offs between
density and the concept of working with terrain typical of Albemarle County.
Page Three
Mandated Overlot Grading Plan (14-313.d). This includes a call for all lots
proposed with turf grasses not exceed a gradient of 3: 1 and that steeper slopes be
planted with low maintenance vegetation. We also recognize this provision already
exists in the Erosion and Sediment portion of the county ordinances. BRHBA
believes 2: 1 to be an acceptable ratio for turf grasses on smaller slopes.
RECOMMENDATION 3: The specified grade of the grade should be expressed as
a maximum rise/fall of 3' over 10'. This will allow for construction tolerances and
limited areas of steeper grade.
Mandated Overlot Grading Plan (14-313.e - g). The provisions contained in e, f
and g, are in direct conflict the goals and objectives of Virginia's Department of
Environmental Quality and the goals of Low Impact Design Development. Virginia
Department of Transportation also prefers open drainage easement based on their
experience in routing surface water away from roads. BRHBA asks if Albemarle
County is willing to abandon the DEQ's preferred approach as a by-right form of
development. .
We further understand that the issue staff is trying to address is not that a design
utilizes a grassy swale or open ditch, they simply do not want the swale on an
individual lot. While this may ensure that no individual owns a drainage problem, as
currently envisioned, neither VDOT nor the County will be responsible for the
infrastructure. Ignoring property lines, if a problem arises now or in the future - no
one is stepping forward to maintain the PUBLIC infrastructure being required. The
problem has not been fixed, the potential for a problem is not eliminated, it is simply
more expensive. A good example of how underground expensive can impact a
homeowner is described in a recent article in The Hook, "Flooded House: Dreams get
soaked" (8/28/04)
http://readthehook.com/ stories/2003/08/29 / coverFloodedHouseDreamsGet.html
RECOMMENDATION 4: BRHBA recognizes that implementing a unified drainage
approach to development will help eliminate many of the problems alluded to by
staff. We recommend eliminating the additional performance standards in sections e
thru g.
Mandated Overlot Grading Plan (14-313.h). Provisions in h clearly establish a
conservative driveway grade and profile. BRHBA feels that specific circumstances
can exist where steeper driveway grades can be constructed in a safe manner.
Additionally, we note that the 18' landing requirement, which was based on the
length of a parking space is excessive if the goal is to prevent cars from bottoming
out. Since the wheelbase dictates height of the vehicle through a vertical curve, a
shorter length is more logical.
Page Four
Although provisions for waiver can be made, after discussing this issue with Mark
Graham, BRHBA anticipates both logistic and philosophical difficulties in obtaining
such waivers. In our November meeting, Mr. Graham agreed to consider language to
allow driveways to be certified by a licensed design professional.
RECOMMENDATION 5: Add language (discussed with Mark Graham) "where
driveway slope exceeds 25% design must be certified by a licensed design
professional. Reduce the required landing criteria to 15'. Clarify that the maximum
grade criteria is an average grade through a minimum of 10'
Mandated Overlot Grading Plan (14-313.i). BRHBA has significant concerns
regarding subsection 14.313.i. A literal interpretation would outlaw front porches
that have steps down to the street, one of the images often featured in Neighborhood
Model Development.
RECOMMENDATION 6: Eliminate this provision. If included, provide for
construction tolerances by restating the criteria as a maximum drop of 12" in 10'.
Include provisions for stairs, shorter distances to property lines and eliminate a need
to build an accessible route from the street to the backdoor of every basement unit.
Sec. 14-234 Procedure for authorization to construct private roads.
BRHBA recognizes competing interests within Albemarle County staff regarding the
use of private roads. Organizationally it seems that the preamble as stated in
14.313.B would be better suited to come prior to the requirements as listed in
14.313.A.
If the purpose of pursuing the private road option is to make utilize the County
"preferred" neighborhood model design as dictated by the comprehensive plan, must
all earth moving computations be completed and natural survey be completed at
submittal? As stated above, the neighborhood model design does not generally agree
with low impact development and will require significant mass grading in our rolling
countryside. BRHBA questions the need for such information at this stage if
Albemarle County recognizes the cost to nature will be great and the mass grading
will occur to further the County's goals of neighborhood model development.
RECOMMENDATION 7: Switch A and B. Eliminate requirement for earthmoving
computations and natural survey.
Page Five
Sec 14.410 Standards for all streets and alleys.
14.410.E Reserved or spite strips
BRHBA continues to have significant issues regarding the prohibition of spite strips.
These concerns were discussed in depth at DISC II and the solution proposed was
simply to use waivers to solve the issue. One concern is regarding when a proposed
street is designed to fall on a property line. This creates an inequitable negotiating
position for adjacent landowners. If the construction of such a street is to be
completed, Albemarle County must plan to create construction condemnation
easements or this prohibition should be dropped.
BRHBA is also concerned with the definition and application of the term "adequate
access". While we applaud the intent of eliminating landlocked parcels, we believe
adequate is a subjective word and should be dropped from this section.
RECOMMENDATION 8: Albemarle County must affirm its intent to use
construction condemnation powers to allow for the construction of roads on property
lines or the prohibition of spite strips should be removed.
Remove the word adequate in the discussion of access. The new language reads
"provided nothing herein shall prohibit areas for scenic planting and landscaping
where access to the adjoining lands is otherwise provided.
14.410.F Principal means of access
Virginia Department of Transportation uses a 25 year flood standard for the
construction of public roads. BRHBA believes that holding private roads to a higher
standard is inappropriate and may create a dangerous situation for citizens.
RECOMMENDATION 9: Eliminate this provision, refer to current VDOT
standards, or revise flood standard to the 25 year standard to agree with the VDOT
standard.
14.410.G Drainage
With regard specifically to piping under lots, BRHBA asks the county to be clear in
its design manual and in its implementation plan that this is an option of last resort.
Extensive use of piping will increase the land moving requirements as well as
decreasing the applicability of Low Impact Development Design.
RECOMMENDATION 10: No Text Change. BRHBA recommends the Albemarle
Board of Supervisors formally instruct the county engineer that a county mandated
requirement for piping is an option of last resort. In addition the county must
recognize the potential infrastructure maintenance cost of such systems.
Page Six
14.410.H Curb, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and planting strips.
This subsection mandates the construction of curb and gutter, sidewalks and planting
strips on every road constructed in the development area.
While BRHBA is not in complete agreement with this provision, we significantly
appreciate the strength and detail of the waiver language. It is not difficult to imagine
many situations where a community would be better served with a sidewalk on only
one side of the road or where the density does not support sidewalk construction at
all. BRHBA believes many parts of this ordinance will require the development
community to trust that waivers will be granted in an appropriate manner. With this
understanding and a significant amount of trepidation, BRHBA supports the proposed
language.
14.412 Standards for private streets
BRHBA applauds the language "or such other designs as provided in the design
standards manual". This language allows County Engineering to adjust the
"standards" as the county gains experience with new urbanist development. In
addition, this flexibility should allow the County Engineer to approve reductions in
turning radius and other specifics when on street parking or other mitigating factors
are' present.
RECOMMENDATION 11: BRHBA asks under this provision the County Engineer
provided the authority to apply the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) low volume and very low volume roadways
standards where appropriate. While we believe the amendment as written provides
this authority, we would like the county attorney to confinn no further clarification is
required.
14.422 Sidewalks and Planting Strips
BRHBA is concerned that a strict standard for planting strip size is detrimental to the
flexibility of the plan. In addition, we continue to have concerns regard the long tenn
maintenance costs of street trees and their impacts on the snow removal options for
sidewalks.
RECOMMENDATION 12: BRHBA recommends that the specifications for size of
planting strips be removed. The size and design of the planting strip should be
included in the county's design manual and allow for different sizes dependent on the
street design. BRHBA recommend the mandated street trees be removed from the
subdivision text amendment.

Blue Ridge Home Builders Association is proud of our organization's active involvement
of the development of this Subdivision Text Amendment. As we, and others, have said
from the beginning, this will not work without Albemarle County's commitment to make
good on promises made regarding concurrency of infrastructure financing, flexible
application of standards and a level of trust with the development community. BRHBA
has reached out in good faith on a number of these issues trusting the county will hold up
their end of the bargain.
If the Board of Supervisors is willing to accept the twelve recommendations included in
this letter, the BRHBA will support the proposed Subdivision Text Amendment.

BACKGROUND:
At the direction of the Board of Supervisors, DISC II has developed a set of recommended text changes to the subdivision
ordinance to address issues identified by various groups related to implementation of the Neighborhood Model. As
requested by the Board, staff prepared the changes which DISC II reviewed and endorsed, with modifications, at their
meetings on October 19, 2004 and October 26,2004.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
2.1 Protect and/or preserve the County's rural character
3.3 Develop and implement policies that address the County's growth and urbanization while continuing to enhance the
factors that contribute to the quality of life in the County.
DISCUSSION:
DISC II thoroughly reviewed the issues requested by the Board of Supervisors. In total, DISC II met eighteen times
between May and October 26 to discuss and develop recommendations for modifications to the text amendment. At the
last two meetings, DISC II reviewed the specific text changes and asked for a few minor wording changes which staff was
expected to make and pass on to the Board.
Attachment A is a table of changes reflecting the DISC II recommendations. This table shows changes made to the March
30, 2004 draft amendment, which was the last version seen by the Board. Attachment B is a summary of the
recommendations. DISC II's recommended subdivision language is included as Attachment C. It is important to note that
this language has not yet received legal review by the County Attorney.
Staff will return to the Board on December 8 to review DISC II's recommended changes in light of the County's recently
adopted urbanization goal and also to discuss an anticipated letter from the Blue Ridge Homebuilders in response to the
DISC II recommendations. After the Board has reviewed those perspectives along with the DISC II recommendations, staff
believes any remaining issues can be addressed. A final worksession can be scheduled for January 5,2005 to review the
ordinance that will be brought to public hearing.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors review the proposed changes and note any questions or concerns with
the DISC II recommendations. At the December 8th worksession, staff will request the Board provide any changes
needed to the amendment after consideration of urbanization impacts and Blue Ridge Homebuilder's comments.

Recommendations from DISC II to the Albemarle County
Board of Supervisors June 1, 2004 - September 21, 2004
Interconnections, Private Streets, Overlot Grading
And Urban Street Improvements
Comments from DISC II Regarding Interconnections
And the Proposed Subdivision Text Amendment
6/1/04
DISC II believes that interconnected road systems should be developed in the Development
Areas and that it is appropriate that the subdivision ordinance require interconnections between
adjacent parcels during the platting process. Where interconnections are physically
possible, economically feasible, and will result in a functionally interconnected street system
they should be built with the street system for the subdivision.
The proposed subdivision amendment acknowledges three areas for waivers of constructing the
street to the adjoining parcel. These waivers are where offsite easements would be required to
construct the street to the property line, where stream buffers would be disturbed or where a
present public purpose would not be served. DISC II supports these waivers but believes that
the there should be other areas in which waivers should be available.
A waiver should be made available that relates to the cost of constructing the improvement
to the scale of the development. For example, it would not be appropriate to require a
developer of a 20 - unit development to construct the oversize portion of the street to support
the 500 - unit development next door. It would not be appropriate for a single developer to build
Lickinghole Bridge to provide a physical connection to an adjoining parcel. In both of these
cases, however, provisions should be made to allow for the future connections into adjacent
undeveloped areas.
The second area relates to how the interconnection would relate to other goals of the
Comprehensive Plan and specifically the Neighborhood Model. Waivers should be available if a
built interconnection would preclude or diminish the ability of a developer to meet other goals of
the Neighborhood Model.
A third area relates to building interconnections in portions of the Development Area where
master plans have not yet been created or where insufficient information exists to adequately
know where an adjoining connection or connections should take place. As with the other two
items above, opportunities for future connections should not be precluded; however, a waiver to
build the street may be appropriate.
DISC /I recognizes that the more subjective the waiver, the less comfortable staff would be in
granting an administrative waiver. DISC II acknowledges that these more subjective waiver
requests will need to be reviewed and acted on by the Planning Commission. DISC believes
that more emphasis should be placed in the ordinance on the fact that the Planning Commission
and ultimately the Board of Supervisors can hear appeals on decisions concerning waivers.
A TT ACHMENT B
Comments from DISC II Regarding Private Streets
And the Proposed Subdivision Text Amendment
6/16/04
DISC II believes that implementation of the Neighborhood Model is the priority and the proposed
standards in the subdivision ordinance relative to private streets are the best vehicle the County
has for now for that implementation. The County should continue to work on a parallel system
to promote changes in the subdivision street regulations with VDOT as well as provide
opportunities for private streets to be approved.
The County's Engineering Department has developed the attached set of street standards that
support the Neighborhood Model and reflect sound engineering practice. The County should
continue to advocate for these street standards to be adopted by VDOT. Until VDOT accepts
the proposal, the County should approve private streets in the Development Areas in
accordance with these standards.
Providing the opportunity in the subdivision ordinance for the development community to
request private streets which support Neighborhood Model type developments should not
construed to mean that private streets are required. When a developer does not wish to
propose private streets, the County will advocate with VDOT for public street standards which
most closely resemble Neighborhood Model type streets. It is likely that the County will see
development proposals which contain a combination of both public and private streets.
Because there is a risk to the County that homeowners associations will default on their
responsibility for maintenance of their private streets in the future, more rigorous assurances
should be required in the subdivision ordinance to ensure that maintenance of private streets
actually occurs.
Comments from DISC II Regarding Overlot Grading
And the Proposed Subdivision Text Amendment
6/16/04
DISC II believes that the problems related to drainage, poor lot-to-Iot relationships caused by
grading lot-by-Iot, steep slopes of driveways, and steep slopes around houses relate more to
density than the form of development recommended by the Neighborhood Model. DISC II
believes that these problems exist mostly in the Development Areas, though, and that a
requirement for an overlot grading plan is appropriate.
DISC II recommends that minor wording changes be made to Sections 14-313 E relating to
storm drainage and 14-313 G related to steep driveways. We also believe that language should
be added to the ordinance to allow for agent approval of a waiver to overlot grading where it is
clear to the agent that there is no benefit for requiring such a plan. Examples of such instances
are situations where little grading is needed for development of a site, where large lots (lots in
excess of 20,000 square feet) are proposed or where lot widths are proposed to be greater than
1 00 feet.
Further, DISC II believes that, during a rezoning process, greater attention be paid to grading
and topography. Prior to approval of rezonings, efforts should be made to minimize possible
conflicts between the principles of the Neighborhood Model.
A TT ACHMENT B
Comments from DISC II Regarding Curb and Curb and Gutter
And the Proposed Subdivision Text Amendment
8/31/04,
DISC II strongly supports requiring urban improvements such as curbing and closed drainage
systems on new streets in the Development Areas. We believe that there are certain
circumstances in which this requirement could be waived without impacting implementation of
the Neighborhood Model. Each circumstance will be unique and needs to be reviewed on a
case-by-case basis. For that reason, DISC II recommends that all waivers be reviewed by the
Planning Commission. Waivers should be available for lots for single family detached units only
or where lots will not front on the proposed street.
In granting a waiver to the requirement for urban street improvements, the Planning
Commission should consider the following items:
1. The project size or street length and the types of lots to be served.
2. Whether the proposed street(s) or street extension connects into an existing system of rural
streets,
3. Whether the street terminates in the development or at the edge of the Development Area or
is otherwise not expected to provide interconnections to abutting areas,
4. Whether the use of a rural cross-section at a particular location in the Development Areas
furthers the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, with particular emphasis on the
Neighborhood Model and Master Plans,
5. Whether the use of a rural cross-section would enable a different principle of the
Neighborhood Model portion of the Comprehensive Plan to be implemented more fully,
6. Whether the proposed density of the subdivision into lots is consistent with the density
recommended in the Land Use Plan, and
7. Recommendations from the Planning Director and County Engineer related to County goals,
policies, good planning practice and good engineering practice including the need for on-
street parking, drainage, and consistency with existing or anticipated street sections.
These items should be considered before the Planning Commission grants a waiver. Items 2
and 3 are examples of when a waiver might be warranted. There are other examples which
have not been cited, but which should be covered under the other items in the list.
Comments from DISC II Regarding Sidewalks
And the Proposed Subdivision Text Amendment
9/7/04
DISC II believes that:
a. For urban streets, concrete sidewalks should be required on both sides of the street. An
exception to this rule would be allowed only where lots are proposed to be single-loaded;
however, more work needs to be done on what "single-loaded" means.
b. A PC waiver should be available for the requirement to provide sidewalks on both sides of
the street and for use of an asphalt path if there is an extraordinary situation. More work
needs to be done to qualify what an extraordinary situation would be.
c. A statement should be added to the ordinance which states that staff may require a 10'
multi-use path if the use warrants the need for the path. This multi-use path would replace a
ATTACHMENT B
sidewalk. An example of a use warranting the path would be near a school where having
bicycles off-road is preferable to on-road.
d. For rural cross-section streets, a PC waiver could be requested for building a sidewalk.
Because pedestrian access is a high priority as a County goal, sidewalks would not be
automatically waived.
f. In granting a waiver for sidewalks on both sides of the street or a waiver to the requirement
altogether, the Planning Commission should consider:
1. the number of lots to be created
2. width of lots,
3. density of the development,
4. the existing pedestrian system within the surrounding area,
5. ability of the sidewalk to connect into an existing or future pedestrian system
6. whether an alternate pedestrian system could provide more appropriate access
throughout the development
Comments from DISC II Regarding Planting Strips
And the Proposed Subdivision Text Amendment
9/21/04
DISC II believes that
a. For urban streets, in single family detached developments, a 6 foot planting strip for street
trees should be provided.
b. A PC waiver should be available for the requirement to provide a planting strip for street
trees.
c. For rural cross-section streets, a PC waiver could be requested for providing a planting strip
for street trees. Waivers for curb or curb and gutter, sidewalks, and street trees on a
particular street or portion of a street would likely be considered at the same time.
f. In granting a waiver for planting strips the Planning Commission should consider:
1. whether a waiver to allow a rural street standard has been granted
2. whether a sidewalk waiver has been granted
3. whether reducing the size of or eliminating the planting strip promotes the goals of the
comprehensive plan, the neighborhood model, or a neighborhood master plan
4. whether a waiver would better enable other principles of the neighborhood model to be
achieved.
g. The requirement in the subdivision ordinance should apply to subdivisions where no site
plan is expected. Where a site plan is expected, the requirements should be put in the
zoning ordinance.

upon as follows:
A. A subdivider shall submit a request in writing to the agent at the time of the
submittal of the preliminary plat, or a later date specified by the agent at the preliminary
application conference' provided that an owner mav submit a reauest in writinQ to the aQent at
the time of submittal of an application to rezone land to a planned development district. or a later
date specified bv the aQent even thoUQh a Dfeliminarv plat has not been submitted.
1. The request shall state the reasons and justifications for the request, and
shall particularly address one or more applicable bases for granting the request as identified in
sections 14-232 Ðf 14 233, and each of the five findings identified in paragraph (C) required to
be made by t-he eommissioR. The request shall also include a map of the subdivision having
contour intervals of not greater than twenty (20) feet showing the horizontal alignment together
with field-run profiles and typical cross-sections of the reads streets. The county engineer may
waive requirements of the field-run profile in the case of an existing reaè.stœct or where deemed
appropriate due to topography, or if the topographic map is based on aerial or field collected data
with a contour interval accuracy of five vertical feet or better. A request pursuant to section 14-
232(A)(I) shall include earthwork computations demonstrating significant degradation.
2. The agent shall forward the map to the county engineer for review and
comment. When the agent has received comments on the map from the county engineer, the
agent shall then consider the request. The agent shall then proceed as follows:
(a) Ifthe request for a private reaè street is made pursuant to under
section 14-232(A), or is any request made under section 14 232 ',vhicfl includes a request
pursuant to seetioR 11 233, he may recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial. A
recommendation of approval or conditional approval shall be accompanied by a statement by the
agent as to the public purpose served by the recommendation, particularly in regard to the
purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance, and the comprehensive plan; or
(b) If the request for a private reaè.stœct is made pUrSl:IaRt to under
section 14-232(B), he may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request.

RESOLUTION
RIVANNA RESERVOIR
WHEREAS, the Rivanna Reservoir is a crucial natural resource for Albemarle County,
for a source of drinking water and for recreational and scenic values and for its role in the
Chesapeake Bay watershed; and
WHEREAS, the Reservoir's useable storage has been reduced by roughly 39 percent by
sedimentation since its construction, which equates to about 65,000 cubic yards of sediment
annually; and
WHEREAS, approximately one-half of the current and projected water needed through
2020 for the Charlottesville/Albemarle County community is directly attributable to sedimentation
of the Rivanna Reservoir; and
WHEREAS, starting in 1997, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority has been
investigating long-range solutions to water supply for the community with dredging being a key
part of the future water supply strategy; one which has widespread public support and was the
subject of a 2003 Technical Memorandum for the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority; and
WHEREAS, a similar situation existed in Decatur, Illinois, with their water resource, with
storage volume cut by 35 percent and 160,000 tons of sediment entering Lake Decatur each
year (equating to 7,273 semi-truck trailer loads); and
WHEREAS, elected officials in that community decided not to let their lake die, hiring a
Maryland firm to dredge 2.1 million cubic yards in 1993-1994 for $6.5 million, reclaiming nine
percent of the lake's storage volume and now plan a $25.0 million multi-year project to remove
more sediment and reclaim more volume; and
WHEREAS, staff in the Illinois community is convinced that "sediment is a growth
industry" and is finding markets for the dredged materials; and
WHEREAS, the County has already shown interest in reservoir sediment removal,
carrying out waterway buffer education programs in 1999, and, in 2000 and 2001, preparing a
report on sediment research needs for the Rivanna Reservoir through the Thomas Jefferson
Water Resources Advisory Committee;
NOW THEREFORE, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors states its interest in the
life of the Rivanna Reservoir and requests that the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority and the
Albemarle County Engineering, Watershed Protection office, and Planning Department
investigate more thoroughly the potential for dredging the Rivanna Reservoir; and
FURTHERMORE, that they include in that investigation a further analysis at least of the
Decatur, Illinois, situation and the Ellicott "mud caf' as based in Baltimore, Maryland (with
Baltimore Dredges, LLC); and
FURTHERMORE, that the recent Gannett Fleming report that was based on the need to
dredge the Reservoir completely to regain the original Reservoir's useable storage at an
estimated cost of $127.0 million to $145.0 million be reconsidered with a goal of maintenance
dredging as one portion of the water supply equation; and
FURTHERMORE, IN SUMMARY, the Board of Supervisors holds that the Rivanna
Reservoir is too important in myriad ways for it to be consigned to be filled with silt without a
determined effort to retain its life, and that the role of dredging in this determined effort needs
serious attention.
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, Virginia, by a vote of

MEMORANDUM
TO: ROBERT W. TUCKER, JR., ALBEMARLE COUNTY EXECUTIVE
FROM: THOMAS L. FREDERICK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2004
SUBJECT: DREDGING RESOLUTION PROPOSED TO BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS
I have had an opportunity to review the Dredging Resolution that has been proposed for
consideration by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and offer the following
comments to assist the Supervisors in the consideration of this issue:
(1) Rivanna concurs with the importance of the reservoir and watershed as outlined in
the first whereas clause, and the data provided in the second and third whereas
clauses agree with the data presented by Gannett Fleming to R WSA.
(2) RWSA staff was informed by the County Planning staff one day before the Public
Outreach Meeting on dredging that Mr. Martin had contacted the County about a
dredging project in Decatur, Illinois. We immediately referred this information to
Gannett Fleming and they contacted officials in Decatur and visited Decatur's
website. Gannett Fleming advised us that Decatur did dredge and
dewater/stockpile dredged spoil on a large tract ofland they own adjacent to their
water supply reservoir, but they have not transported the dredged spoil to a
disposal site away from the reservoir. Gannett Fleming informed us that their
estimates for dredging and dewatering at South Fork Rivanna, while conservative
and include some contingency as are the estimates for all water supply
alternatives, are close to the costs for Decatur when inflation is added to cover the
time since Decatur performed dredging. Gannett Fleming has added costs for
transportation and disposal (which are significant), assuming that this community
will not accept long-term stockpiling of dredged spoil immediately adjacent to the
reservoir (the terrain around the South Fork is also steeper than the terrain in
Decatur, making such a stockpiling without erosion back to the reservoir more
difficult). In the past two weeks the RWSA staff have been heavily focused on
the December 2 Public Outreach Meeting, but we do plan to have further
discussions with Decatur and take advantage of any breakthrough opportunities or
ideas such contact may bring.
(3) We've heard several references in public comment that the "lake will die" if
dredging is not performed, but this phrase is very general, means different things
to different people, and is therefore difficult to respond to. R WSA does not
accept as "fact" the assertion of some that the lake has to die if dredging is not
done soon. This community may select dredging as a water supply alternative,
but we believe a balanced discussion at this point in the study should include a
plan to aggressively manage the reservoir whether or not dredging is selected for
Memo to Robert W. Tucker, JT.
December 3, 2004
Page 2
water supply. Such aggressive management includes watershed protection
measures targeted toward reduced sediment transport (while recognizing some
natural transport will always occur) and regular monitoring of the quality of the
reservoir. Watershed protection extends the time that the reservoir is maintained
as healthy, and monitoring provides an early warning if more aggressive
maintenance becomes necessary in the future (of which dredging may be an
alternative solution) is needed in the future. Watershed protection will be a
collaborative effort, taking advantage of planning, regulations, and expertise that
resides within the Albemarle County staff as well as R WSA.
(4) The first resolved clause of the dredging resolution asks RWSA to "investigate
more thoroughly the potential for dredging". In order for RWSA to be
responsive, this statement needs to be more specific. We can identify a cost and
time schedule for specific requests for additional engineering services. We have
carefully developed the scope of Gannett Fleming's contract to provide what we
believe to be the appropriate level of detail at each phase of a screening process,
in order to provide useful information for decision making while also managing a
project budget. It should also be noted that if the Board of Supervisors want to
direct RWSA to perform additional work that increases the cost of the project,
such direction could affect the current cost share agreement between the City and
the Albemarle County Service Authority if the Charlottesville City Council does
not agree with the need for the additional work.
(5) In reference to the second resolved clause, Gannett Fleming is already
investigating the Decatur situation and the "mud cat" as previously mentioned in
my comments above.
(6) The third resolved clause discusses "reconsidering" dredging with the goal of
maintenance dredging, which I assume means maintaining current levels of
sediment in the reservoir. Gannett Fleming has suggested the removal of 100,000
cubic yards of sediment from the reservoir per year for 50 years to restore 85% of
the initial water supply pool, followed by 75,000 cubic yards per year to maintain
that condition. If the community elected only to maintain the current volume,
such goal could be achieved by removing 75,000 cubic yards per year initially and
beyond 50 years. Except for mobilization and demobilization of equipment, the
estimated costs of dredging are linear and can be adjusted to the volume desired.
It is recognized that if a smaller dredging project is selected, the safe yield gained
is smaller, which increases the size of other projects to achieve the 9.9 MGD
added safe yield goal of the overall project.
I hope this information is helpful in the consideration of the dredging resolution. Please
let me know if you have any further questions.

RE: OFFICIAL DETERMINATION OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS AND PARCELS- Tax
Map 37, Parcel 6 (Property of George Frost) Section 10.3.1
Dear Mr. Ray:
The County Attorney and I have reviewed the title information for the above-noted
property. It is the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that
Tax Map 37, Parcel 6 is comprised of two separate parcels. Tract 1 contains
approximately 75 acres and Tract 2 contains approximately 108.06 acres. Each of these
parcels has five (5) development rights. These parcels are shown on a survey by Roger
W. Ray that is enclosed. This determination is based on the following analysis:
Our records indicate Tax Map 37, Parcel 6 contains 183.060 acres and one dwelling.
The property is not in an Agricultural Forestal District. The most recent deed for this
property is recorded in Will Book 107, page 585.
The most recent deed for this parcel recorded prior to December 10, 1980, the date of
the adoption of the ordinance, is recorded in Book 301, page 445, dated August 14,
1952, conveyed 183.06 acres from Justine Dickson Ferguson to Granger H. Frost and
Dorothy E. Frost. The parcel is more particularly described, in part, as Tracts Nos. 1 and
2 on a plat made by A.G. Briggs dated April 24, 1916, recorded as part of a deed from
S.M. Nottingham in Deed Book 185, page 591. The plat identifies Lot 1 as the property
of W.M. Locker and shows it contains 75 acres. The plat identifies Lot 2 as the property
of A.M.Sindlinger and shows it contains 108.06 acres. On the basis of this deed and
the prior plat, the 75-acre parcel and the 108.06-acre parcel are each determined
to be separate lots of record with five (5) development rights.

Page 2
Deed Book 1196, page 95, dated December 18, 1991, conveyed property from Granger
H. Frost and Dorothy E. Frost as Tenants in Common to themselves as Tenants by the
entirety. The property is described as being the same two tracts as were conveyed by
the deed recorded in Deed Book 301, page 445. It is determined that this deed had
no effect on the status of the parcels or their development rights.
Deed Book 1196, page 357, dated December 23,1991, conveyed Dorothy E. Frost's
interest in property to Granger H. Frost. Dorothy E. Frost retained a life estate in the
property. The property is described as being the same two tracts as were conveyed by
the deed recorded in Deed Book 1196, page 95. It is determined that this deed had
no effect on the status of the parcels or their development rights.
Deed Book 1196, page 360, dated December 23, 1991, Granger H. Frost conveyed a
life estate and a vested remainder interest in property to George Frost. The property is
described as being the same two tracts as were conveyed by the deed recorded in
Deed Book 1196, page 95. It is determined that this deed had no effect on the
status of the parcels or their development rights.
Will Book 107, page 585 documents that Dorothy E. Frost died on November 29.2003.
These parcels are entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable
regulations can be met. These development rights are theoretical in nature but do
represent the maximum number of lots containing less than twenty one acres allowed to
be created by right. The parcels may also create as many lots containing at least 21
acres as the acreage allows if all other applicable regulations can be met.
If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty days
of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of
the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final
and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator
and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal which specifies the grounds for the
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of $120.
The date notice of this determination was given is the same as the date of this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
ohn Shepherd

RE: SDP 2004-00095 Arrowhead/Ntelos; Tax Map 88 - Parcel 26
Dear Ms. Balser:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on November 9, 2004, by a vote of (6: 1)
approved the above-noted petition to allow the installation of a Tier II Personal Wireless Service facility
with a monopole that is not more than 7 feet in height above the tallest tree within 25 feet. The
Commission denied the applicant's request for the proposed height of 10 feet above the tallest tree.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact me (434) 296-5823.

Charlottesville, VA 22902
Re: SDP 04-095 Wood. T.E. (Ntelos/Arrowhead)
Dear Members of the Board:
.
I am representing Ntelos, which proposed a personal wireless services facility on
property owned by T.E. Wood located on Route 29 south, near the intersection of
Arrowhead Valley Road. On November 9, the Planning Commission approved
SPD 04-095 as the first personal wireless services facility considered under the new
wireless ordinance the Board approved on October 13, 2004. While Ntelos was
pleased that the facility was approved, it was disappointed that the Commission denied
Ntelos' request that the facility be approved at a height ten feet above the top of the
trees, as requested. Pursuant to the provisions of the new ordinance, Ntelos has
respectfully elected to appeal this denial to the Board of Supervisors for its
consideration on December 8.
Section 5.1.40(d)(6) of the new wireless ordinance states that the top of the monopole
may not be more than seven feet above the top of the tallest tree within twenty-five feet
of the monopole, but that the Commission can nevertheless approve a facility up to ten
feet above the tallest tree if the applicant demonstrates that there will be no material
difference in the visibility of the monopole at that height rather than at seven feet above
the tallest tree, and that there is not a material difference in adverse impacts to
resources identified in the county's open space plan caused by the monopole at the
proposed height. The staff report had already concluded that the facility would not have
any adverse impacts to resources identified in the county's open space plan, and the
Commission did not disagree with this conclusion. The issue is therefor whether there
is a material difference in the visibility of the pole at ten feet above the tallest tree rather
than seven feet above. Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th Ed.) defines
material as "having real importance or great consequences."
Prior to the Planning Commission hearing Ntelos submitted evidence in the form of
photosimulations demonstrating that there is no material difference in the visibility of the
facility at ten feet above versus seven feet above. The photosimulations demonstrate
.
November 30, 2004
Page 2
that given the existence of a wooded backdrop of trees behind the facility from all
vantage points, the difference in three feet of height between what was proposed and
what was approved does not create a difference in visibility that has "real importance or
great consequences." Thus, there is no material difference in visibility. This conclusion
is strengthened by the fact that the facility is located over 1140 feet from the pavement
of Route 29 at its closest point. So when viewed with the naked eye, the difference in
visibility of the facility at the proposed height versus at seven feet above the tallest tree,
may barely even be noticeable, much less be material. The photosimulations were
made using balloon test photographs taken using a zoom lens. For your reference I
have included copies of the photosimulations that were provided to the Commission.
The proposed facility would entirely replace an existing Ntelos facility on the same
parcel that was approved and constructed in 1998, but that no longer functions
adequately. The facility was sited at too low of an elevation for the surrounding
topography and vegetation, and with the growth of the surrounding trees over the past
six years, now causes dropped calls along Route 29 in nearly every instance. Ntelos
has detennined that relocating the facility to a higher elevation is the only feasible option
to ensure quality service for its customers, and wants to ensure that the new facility will
function well. The difference in the quality of service from a facility that is seven feet
above the tallest tree versus ten feet above the tallest tree is significant. With the "tree-
top" design facility, every extra foot of distance between the bottoms of the panel
antennas and the tops of the trees means less signal inteñerence, and better coverage.
Given that the expected visibility between the facility at ten feet above versus seven feet
above will not be material, I am hopeful the Board will agree that Ntelos has met the
standard in Section 5.1.40(d)(6) that warrants the Board's approval of the facility at the
proposed height of ten feet above the tallest tree.
I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this request, and would be
pleased to address any questions or comments you may have regarding this matter. If I
can be of assistance in any way, please feel free to contact me at my office at 977-2545
or at home at 293-8407.

NOVEMBER 9, 2004
SDP 04-095 WOOD. T.E. (NTELOS/ARROWHEAD) - TIER II PWF
PROPOSAL:
This proposal is for the installation of a personal wireless service facility, which would replace
an existing facility that was approved as SP 98-09 (Attachment A). The facility would have a
monopole equipped with one array consisting of two 5-foot long by I-foot wide, flush-mounted
panel antennas at its top. Supporting ground equipment would be contained within two 5.5-foot
tall and 4.7-foot wide cabinets on a 160 square foot concrete pad. The lease area for the
proposed facility is located on property described as Tax Map 88 - Parcel 26, containing
approximately 71.34 acres zoned Rural Areas and Entrance Corridor (Attachment B). This site
is located on Arrowhead Valley Road [State Route 745] just east of the intersection with U.S.
Route 29 South, in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. The Comprehensive Plan designates
this property as Rural Area 4.
Access to the facility would be taken from an existing gravel road within a 20-foot wide private
access easement that begins at the south side of Arrowhead Valley Road, approximately 1/8 mile
east of the intersection with Route 29. The existing gravel driveway would have to be extended
approximately 167 feet to the east, over an existing dirt road and then 83 feet north through the a
wooded area to connect with the lease area.
This item was originally submitted as a special use permit. However, the Board of Supervisors
recently adopted the zoning text amendment for personal wireless service facilities, which allows
Tier IIfacilities to be approved by right (see Attachment C).
Character of the Area:
The nearest dwelling is located approximately 1100 feet north of the facility site on an adjacent
parcel. The closest property line, which is the boundary shared with Tax Map 88/ParceI20, is
130 feet south ofthe proposed monopole location. With an exception of the adjoining property
located at the northwestern tip of the subject parcel (Tax Map 88/ParceI26A) which is zoned 11,
Light Industrial, all other adjacent properties are zoned Rural Areas.
STAFF COMMENT:
Section 3.1 provides the following definitions that are relevant to this proposal:
Tier II personal wireless service facility: A personal wireless service facility that is a treetop
facility not located within an avoidance area.
Treetop facility: A personal wireless service facility consisting of a self-supporting monopole
having a single shaft of wood, metal or concrete no more than ten (10) feet taller than the crown
ofthe tallest tree within twenty-five (25) feet ofthe monopole, measured above sea level (ASL),
and includes associated antennas, mounting structures, an equipment cabinet and other essential
personal wireless service equipment.
1
Avoidance area: An area having significant resources where the siting of personal wireless
service facilities could result in adverse impacts as follows: (i) any ridge area where a personal
wireless service facility would be skylighted; (ii) a parcel within an agricultural and forestal
district; (iii) a parcel within a historic district; (iv) any location in which the proposed personal
wireless service facility and three (3) or more existing or approved personal wireless service
facilities would be within an area comprised of a circle centered anywhere on the ground having
a radius of two hundred (200) feet; or (v) any location within two hundred (200) feet of any state
scenic highway or by-way.
Section 5.1.40(d), entitled Tier II facilities states (Attachment C):
"Each Tier II facility may be established upon commission approval of an application satisfying
the requirements of subsection 5 .l.40( a) and demonstrating that the facility will be installed and
operated in compliance with all applicable provisions of this chapter. criteria (1) through (8)
below. and satisfying all conditions of the architectural review board. The commission shall act
on each application within the time periods established in section 32.4.2.6. The commission
shall approve each application. without conditions. once it determines that all of these
requirements have been satisfied. If the commission denies an application. it shall identify which
requirements were not satisfied and inform the applicant what needs to be done to satisfy each
requirement. "
The applicant has submitted an application and performed a balloon test satisfying the
requirements set forth in Section 5.l.40(a). The Architectural Review Board has reviewed this
request for compliance with the County's design entrance corridor design guidelines and
recommends approval (Attachment D).
1. Section 5.1.40(d)(1): The facility shall comply with subsection 5.1.40(b) and subsection
5 .l.40( c )(2) through (9).
Staff has determined that the proposed facility's location comply with all of the exemptions of
Section 5.1.40(b) and the proposed equipment meets all relevant design, mounting and size
criteria set that are set forth in Section 5 .l.40( c )(2) and (3). The remainder of subsection (c)
provides requirements that must be enforced if approval is granted for the facility. However, the
applicant has already submitted a tree conservation plan that will be subject to the staff review in
accordance with Section 5 .l.40( c)( 4)
2. Section 5.1.40(d)(2): The site shall provide adequate opportunities for screening and the
facility shall be sited to minimize its visibility from adjacent parcels and streets.
regardless oftheir distance from the facility. If the facility would be visible from a state
scenic river or a national park or national forest. regardless of whether the site is adjacent
thereto. the facility also shall be sited to minimize its visibility from such river. park or
forest. If the facility would be located on lands subject to a conservation easement or an
open space easement. the facility shall be sited to so that it is not visible from any
resources specifically identified for protection in the deed of easement.
The site of the proposed facility site is a 400 square feet wooded lease area, situated below and
west of the ridgeline of Dudley Mountain. The ground level elevation of the lease area is located
between the 783 and 787-foot contour intervals just below the Mountain Resource Area, which
begins at the 800-foot contour interval. During a field visit staff observed the test balloon floated
2
.
at the top height of the proposed monopole for this facility from several nearby vantage points.
Staff notes that the balloon representing the Ntelos monopole that is being discussed in this
report is the smaller of the two in the photos (Attachment E).
When viewed from the southbound lane of Route 29, near the intersection with Arrowhead
Valley Road, the balloon had backdrop provided by a distant portion of Dudley Mountain to the
east, but could be seen above the tops of the trees surrounding the site. The balloon was also
observed to have backdrop provided by the eastern slope when viewed from one ofthe adjacent
properties, identified as Tax Map 80 - Parcel 26B, adjacent to the west side of Route 29. When
viewed from another point located approximately 1-1/4 mile to the north and near the
intersection of Arrowhead Valley Road and Locust Hollow Road [State Route 818], the balloon
was exposed above the trees surrounding the facility site. Based on the balloon test observations
and its location near the top of that lower ridge line it is staffs opinion that the currently proposed
site does not meet the requirement for providing adequate screening of the facility in order to
minimize its visibility from adjacent properties, regardless of their distance.
.
The Arrowhead Farm and Woods properties located directly to the south and west ofthe subject
parcel (Tax Map 88 - Parcel 20 and Tax Map 89 - Parcel 15), are held in conservation easements,
dedicated to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF). However, because of the varying
topography and the amount vegetation between the protected resources it is staff s opinion that
the tallest portions of the proposed monopole would be visible from the protected resources
located on these properties. Furthermore, due to its brown color and distance of approximately
116 feet from the nearest boundary line that is shared with those properties, the ground
equipment serving the facility would not be visible from any of the protected resources within
those easements.
3. Section 5.1.40(d)(3): The facility shall not adversely impact resources identified in the
county's open space plan.
Resources that have been identified as being potentially impacted by this request are mountains,
historic sites and forests.
Mountains are designated as major open space systems that provide scenic views, naturally
forested areas and wildlife habitat, and are recommended for protection in the Rural Areas. Due
to the restrictions that the Zoning Ordinance places upon the amount of disturbance that can be
made to install these facilities, it is staff s opinion that approval of this facility would not greatly
impact the forests on the subject parcel, or any of the neighboring properties within the area.
.
The Open Space Plan recommends the establishment of Agricultural and Forestal Districts
(AG/FOR) for the purpose of protecting the agricultural and forestal uses on properties in the
Rural Areas. AG/FOR Districts place certain controls on the location of public utility facilities to
landowners who agree to limit development. A portion of Arrowhead Farm and several nearby
properties on the western side of Route 29 are included in the Hardware Agricultural and Forestal
District. Although the proposed facility is adjacent to these properties, the subject parcel is under
separate ownership and is not subject to any of those governing agreements. Therefore, approval
of this proposal would not compromise the ability of any of those properties to continually
qualify for inclusion into the Agricultural/Forestal district.
Arrowhead Farm also contains a historic site, consisting of a residence and outbuildings which
3
are included on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
Staff does not anticipate that the proposed facility would impose any adverse visual impacts upon
the historic structures on that property, which are situated on the western portion of the
Arrowhead property near Route 29 and separated from the site by existing, mature vegetation.
This observation is supported by limited visibility ofthe existing monopoles.
4. Section 5.1.40(d)(4): The facility shall not be located so that it and three (3) or more
existing or approved personal wireless service facilities would be within an area
comprised of a circle centered anyWhere on the ground having a radius of two hundred
(200) feet.
There are two (2) existing personal wireless service facilities located on this parcel. The
monopole serving the existing Ntelos facility that would be removed is located on the subject
parcel approximately 435 feet west ofthe location for the currently proposed monopole. Another
95-foot tall monopole serving a Triton facility is located 142.3 feet to the west. Both ofthose
existing facilities were approved with special use permits that allowed monopoles with top
heights of not more than 6 feet above the tallest tree within 25 feet. Once the existing Ntelos
facility has been removed, one more additional facility could possibly be installed on this parcel.
5. Section 5.1.40(d)(5): The maximum base diameter of the monopole shall be thirty (30)
inches and the maximum diameter at the top of the monopole shall be eighteen (18)
inches.
The construction plans for the proposed facility show a monopole with dimensions that comply
with the width requirements for treetop monopoles serving Tier II facilities.
6. Section 5.1.40(d)(6): The top of the monopole, measured in elevation above mean sea
level. shall not exceed the height approved by the commission. The approved height shall
not be more than seven (7) feet taller than the tallest tree within twenty-five (25) feet of
the monopole, and shall include any base, foundation or grading that raises the pole above
the pre-existing natural ground elevation; provided that the height approved by the
commission may be UP to ten (10) feet taller than the tallest tree if the owner of the
facility demonstrates to the satisfaction of the commission that there is not a material
difference in the visibility of the monopole at the proposed height, rather than at a height
seven (7) feet taller than the tallest tree; and there is not a material difference in adverse
impacts to resources identified in the county's open space plan caused by the monopole at
the proposed height, rather than at a height seven (7) feet taller than the tallest tree. The
applicant may appeal the commissioner's denial of a modification to the board of
supervisors as provided in subsection 5.1.40(d)(12).
The proposal is for a facility with a metal monopole, approximately 107.37 feet in total height
and with a top height of approximately 892.17 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). This would
result in a monopole that is approximately 10 feet AMSL taller in height than a nearby 100.13-
foot tall Poplar tree identified on the applicant's construction plans as tree number 36. The
applicant's representatives have submitted photo-simulations, adapted from balloon test photos,
to demonstrate the possible differences in the 7-foot and lO-foot requirements to support their
request for Planning Commission approval of the requ"ested height. The test balloon that staff
observed was only floated at 10 feet above the tallest tree within 25 feet as proposed in the
applicant's request. Therefore, staff cannot provide any additional comments regarding this
4
.
particular request other than restating the fact that the monopole would appear to be skylighted
from at least one location and would extend higher than the ridgeline trees on the surrounding the
proposed site of the facility.
7. Section 5.1.40(d)(7): Each wood monopole shall be a dark brown natural wood color;
each metal or concrete monopole shall be painted a brown wood color to blend into the
surrounding trees. The antennas, supporting brackets, and all other equipment attached to
the monopole shall be a color that closely matches that of the monopole. The ground
equipment, the ground equipment cabinet, and the concrete pad shall also be a color that
closely matches that of the monopole, provided that the ground equipment and the
concrete pad need not be of such a color if they are enclosed within or behind an
approved structure, facade or fencing that: (i) is a color that closely matches that of the
monopole; (ii) is consistent with the character of the area; and (iii) makes the ground
equipment and concrete pad invisible at any time of year from any other parcel or a public
or private street.
In accordance with Section 5.1.40(a)(4)(d) the applicant has provided a sample paint chip and a
note on the construction plan identifying the proposed flat dark brown color for the monopole,
antennas and ground equipment serving this facility as Twisted Branch - Number 8696N,
manufactured by Duron Paint Company.
8.
Section 5.1.40( d)(8): Each wood monopole shall be constructed so that all cables, wiring
and similar attachments that run vertically from the ground equipment to the antennas are
placed on the pole to face the interior of the property and away from public view, as
determined by the agent. Metal monopoles shall be constructed so that vertical cables,
wiring and similar attachments are contained within the monopole's structure.
.
The construction plans show that all vertical coaxial cables running from the ground equipment
to the antennas would be contained within the metal monopole's structure.
3. Section 704(a)(7)(b )(1)(11) of The Telecommunications Act of 1996:
The regulation of the placement, construction and modification of personal 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.
The Telecommunications Act addresses concerns for 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 Commissions' regulations concerning such emissions." In order to operate the proposed
facility, the applicant is required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions.
These requirements will adequately protect the public health and safety.
.
No information has been provided to demonstrate the availability, or lack thereof, of any
alternative sites on other properties to serve the areas that would be covered by the proposed
facility at this site. Therefore, it is staff s opinion that the denial of this application would not
have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless communication services.
5
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors that may be seen as unfavorable to this request:
1. Section 5.1.40(d)(2): The monopole would be skylighted from at least one vantage point
near the sight, and;
2. Section 5.1.40(d)(2): The site does not offer adequate opportunities for screening a
monopole at the proposed height and location.
In the event that the Planning Commission chooses to deny this application staff offers the
following comment:
In order to comply with the provisions of the Telecommunication Act and with Section 5.1AO(d)
of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission is required to provide the applicant with a
statement regarding the basis for denial and all items that will have to be addressed to satisfy
each requirement.

RE: SP 04-043 Wood (NTELOS) - Tier II application review·
Dear Stephen:
In response to your letter dated October 14, 2004, we offer the following infonnation:
1. [Section 5.1.40.a(4)(a)] The location ofthe proposed Nextel facility must be
shown on the plans.
See Sheet Numbers PJ-1 and G-1 on Attached Drawings
See Nextel Plans Attached
2. [Section 5.1.40.a(4)(b)] Provide benchmarks and datum used for the elevations
that are given on the plans.
See Sheet Number G-1
3. [Section 5.1.40.a(4)(d)] Provide a paint chip or other type of color sample
identifying the manufacturer's name and number for the paint that will be usèd at
this facility.
Color: Twisted Branch
Manufacturer: Duron
Number: 8696N

5. [Section 5 .1.40.a( 4 )(f)] Identify all trees that will be adversely impacted or
removed during installation of the facility. Currently there are several trees that
have drip lines within the bounds of the proposed gravel access road, but only one
has been identified. (Please note that this requirement might possibly be satisfied
with the submittal of the pending tree conservation plan that was referenced in
your letter, dated September 28,2004).
See Sheet Numbers G-l and S-4
See Tree Conservation Plan Attached
6. [Section 5.1.40.a(4)(i)] Show the location of all residential and commercial
structures within 2000 feet of the facility.
,
See Sheet Number TS-l
7. [Section 5.1.40.d(6)] The requested height of 10 feet above the tallest tree within
25 feet requires a Planning Commission modification. This modification must be
made in a separate action by the Commission upon finding that all criteria ofthis
section have been satisfied. Please submit any additional information that you
would like staff or the Commission to consider when reviewing this request at
your earliest convenience.
See Photo Simulations Attached showing views of proposed structure l' above
tallest tree within 25 feet as well as views of proposed structure 10' above the
tallest tree within 25 feet. Weare requesting that the facility be approved at the
height of 10' above the tallest tree within 25 feet, and believe that the enclosed
photo simulations demonstrate that there is not a material difference in the
visibility of the monopole at the proposed height rather than at a height ofT
above the tallest tree within 25' , nor is there a material difference in adverse
impacts to resources identified in the county's open space plan caused by the
monopole at the proposed height (nor are there any such adverse impacts caused
by the monopole at l' above the tallest tree within 25 feet). As the .
photosimulations demonstrate, in each case there is a wooded backdrop of trees
behind the proposed facility that will help it blend in to the surrounding area. In
addition, there is not a material difference in the visibility of the monopole at the
proposed height as compared to a height of l' above the tallest tree. Please also
note that the photographs from which the photosimu1ations were made were taken
using a telephoto lens."
8. [Section 5.1.40.d(8)] metai monopoles complying with the Tier II criteria shall be
designed so that vertical cables, wiring and similar attachments are contained
within the monopole's structure. The plans currently indicate that wires will
instead be attached to the outside of the monopole and painted to match its color.

9. [Section 5.1.40.d(2)] Adequate opportunities for screening must be provided
onsite. Because of its location near the top of this low ridge, it appears that nearly
10 feet of the monopole will be exposed above the treetops with the only
backdrop being provided by the distant mountain. Please note that this concern
was identified during the balloon test and also discussed in the field with
NTELOS personnel.
The entire area around and near the Ntelos lease area is heavily wooded with trees
of significant height, all of which provide more than adequate opportunities for
screening. During the balloon test, from every vantage point at which the balloon
was visible, a backdrop of trees exists which will help the facility blend in with
the surrounding vegetation.
·
,
Ntelos' engineer has' estimated that the distance between the proposed facility and
the trees behind the facility is only approximately 80 feet - the distance is
attributable to a 35 foot deep ravine just behind the facility. Many other wireless
facilities have been approved with far less screening and wooded backdrop. As
the photo simulations demonstrate, the wooded backdrop will help camouflage the
facility very well. As with any wireless facility (treetop design or otherwise) the
facility will never be completely invisible, regardless ofthe amount of trees
around or behind the facility. But the design of this facility, and its proposed
height, location, and siting on the property, especially given the expanse of
wooded tree backdrop, will enable the facility to blend in very well, and certainly
enables it to meet the criteria of the ordinance.
Also attached are the two large fonnat copies of the revised plans that you requested.
Please contact me at your earliest possible convenience if you have questions.

Dear Mrs. Balser,
Enclosed you will find a Tree Conservation Plan for the proposed project entitled
"T.E. Wood Property (CV652)". The plan is designed to specify the necessary tree
protection methods and procedures required to minimize construction stress on
the trees that will be impacted by this project, as well as to identify existing
trees that are recommended for removal.
Trees are recommended for removal when they are located within 1.5 times their
height from the proposed structure and meet the following criteria:
o The tree is dead or in irreversible decline.
o The tree is an unreasonable risk due to a structural defect that cannot be reduced to a
reasonable risk level through the implementation of standard arboricultural practices.
I have developed a table that describes each tree species, specific
recommendations for their care, and any relative comments. The required tree
protection procedures are broken up into 3 categories, pre-construction, during
construction, and post-construction.
Sincerely,
Michael Abbott

Tree Protection Procedures
Pre-construction
,
..
o A composite soil sample shall be taken from the site for analysis of soil pH,
organic content, nutrient levels of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, iron,
magnesium, and manganese, and to establish cation exchange capacities.
o The following trees shall be felled and left on site. Care must be taken not to
damage remaining trees on site.
Trees #12,25
o A tree protection zone shall be established to minimize soil compaction, and
root, stem and branch damage during construction. The zone will be defined as
an area that is 9 inches times the diameter at breast height (DBH) away from
any tree to be protected.
o A 4 foot high, orange, UV-resistant, high-tensile strength, barricade fabric fence
shall be installed to define the Tree Protection Zone and limit access.
DurinQ Construction
o The Tree Protection Zone will be inspected and maintained on a daily basis.
o Trees shall be inspected on a weekly basis by a certified Arborist to evaluåte for
construction trauma, as well as for secondary pest and disease concerns, and·
irrigation needs. ·
o No construction equipment, supplies or debris will be allowed in the Tree
Protection Zone.
o Trenching or excavation within the Tree Protection Zone will not be allowed
without consultation with certified Arborist and will require specialized equipment
to perform proper root pruning.
2-5
ATTACHMENT A
o Root pruning will be performed under the supervision of a certified Arborist and
will be performed in ~uch a manner, and with equipment designed to cut
through roots cleanly, so as not to tear roots. If roots greater than 2 inches in
diameter are encountered during root pruning, they shall be traced back
towards the tree using an air-spade and pruned by hand at a point specified by
the Arborist.
o Grade changes around trees shall be avoided. Excess soil and debris must be
removed from site. . ,
Post-construction
o Tree protection fencing shall be removed.
o The following trees shall be fertilized based on specific needs as determined by
soil analysis. Fertilization should include Mycorrhizae inoculation for mature
trees, and should be applied using the sub-surface soil injection method.
Trees # 1-25 (excluding 12 and 25)
o Trees that have been affected by construction shall be pruned to remove any
dead or damaged limbs. Any bark wounds shall be traced to promote wound
closure.
o Trees shall be inspected on a monthly basis by a certified Arborist to evaluate
for construction trauma, as well as for secondary pest and disease concerns,
and irrigation needs. The inspection period will extend for 6 months following
completion of construction.

Application for Special Use Permit
CV652 Arrowhead -Vir!.!inia PCS Alliance. L.C. d/b/a "NTELOS"
How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
The proposed special use will not affect the adjacent property. The proposed
telecommunications facility will replace an existing telecommunications facility that was
approved under special use pennit by the Board of Supervisors in 1998. Because
installation of the proposed facility will not require the removal of any large trees or the
construction of a long access road, there will not be significant physical disturbance to
the subject property or adjacent properties. There are already two (2) existing
telecommunication facilities on this property owned and operated by NTELOS and
SunCom. The proposed special use pennit is for the purpose of relocating one of those
two (2) facilities to a new location behind the existing SunCom facility on the same
property. If approved, the existing NTELOS faGility will be completely removed from
the property. The proposed facility will be minimally visible from adjacent property, and
will therefore not have an adverse impact on adjacent property.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district(s) surrounding
the property?
.
The proposed facility is consistent with the existing development on the property and
within the area, because it will be only minimally visible from adjacent properties, will
not generate additional traffic or development, and preserves the character ofthe area.
The proposed facility will be located within a heavily wooded area that is accessed from
Route 745 by an existing driveway and existing access road serving the NTELOS and
SunCom facilities. As a result, the facility will be nearly entirely obscured from
surrounding properties. Therefore, the character of the district surrounding the property
will not be affected.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance?
The proposed facility is consistent with the County's preference for monopole structures,
which extend slightly above the treetops as discussed in the County's wireless design
manual. In addition, wireless telecommunications services provide a public service to the
community by creating a "convenient, attractive and harmonious community", consistent
with the intent ofthe Zoning Ordinance.
How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district?
The proposed facility will not restrict the current uses or other by-right uses available at
this property or by-right uses on any other property.
What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply
to this use?

Section 30.6 Entrance Corridor Overlay District. The property in question contains
71.340 acres and is located within an Entrance Corridor Overlay District. Only a small
portion (approximately one acre or less) of this property ITonts along Route 29/Entrance
Corridor. This small portion of the property is separated ITom the remainder of the
property, where the proposed facility will be located, by the railroad line. The proposed
facility will be located more than 500' plus back from Route 29 and will be located
within a heavily wooded area.
Section 5.1.12, which relates to public utility structures and uses.
How will this use promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the
community?
The proposed facility will provide improved wireless telecommunications services to
Albemarle County, especially emergency communications, and will increase overall
communication services.
Describe your request in detail and include all pertinent information such as the
number of persons involved in the use, operating hours, and any unique features of
the use:
NTELOS requests a special use pennit to construct a new treetop personal wireless
telecommunications facility which will include a self-supporting steel monopole with a
top elevation ten (10) feet above the tallest tree within a twenty-five (25) foot radius. The
monopole will be equipped with two (2) flush mounted panel antennas and a lightning
rod. Ground equipment cabinets will be located on a 10' x 16' concrete pad within a 400
square foot (20' x 20') lease area. The existing driveway and access road will be utilized
to serve the proposed facility. Only a small extension to the existing access road will be
required to serve this facility. This will be an unmanned facility with monthly visits by
an NTELOS Operations Technician for inspection/maintenance. There currently exist
two (2) telecommunication facilities owned and operated by SunCom and NTELOS on
this property. The proposed facility will replace the existing NTELOS facility. Once the

RE: ARB-2004-87: Wood (NTelos); Tax Map 88, Parcel 26
Dear Ms. Balser:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on September 7,2004, completed a
preliminary review of the above-noted request.
Regarding the Special Use Permit and Building Permit, the Board by a vote of 2 to 1, forwarded the
following recommendation to the Planning Commission:
The ARB expresses no objection to the special use permit, subject to the following conditions:
1. Indicate on the plan that no trees within 200' of the pole and equipment pad will be removed.
2. Revise grading to further reduce potential impacts to trees #27 and #30.
3. Identify the species and size of the tree west of the access road at contour 790'.
4. Show grading outside the dripline of all trees to remain.
S. Include in the plan set a to-scale plan showing the location of all existing telecommunications
facilities located on this property, together with the location of the proposed site.
6. Include a note on the plan indicating that the only illumination proposed is for temporary
maintenance purposes.
7. Revise the notes to indicate that the pole, antennas, and cables will be painted flat brown.
8. Provide on the plan a to-scale diagram of the antennas indicating the antenna size.
9. Revise the antenna mounting notes to meet policy requirements for 12" distance from pole
face to antenna face.
10. Show existing and proposed grading consistently throughout the plans.
Please provide 2 copies of the revised drawings or other information addressing each of these conditions at your
earliest convenience. Include a memo indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes other than
those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. When staff's review of this
information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be
issued.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.

Members of the Board of Supervisors
Albemarle County, Virginia
401 Mcintire Road
Charlottesville, VA 22902
Re: SDP 04-095 Wood. T.E. (Ntelos/Arrowhead)
Dear Members of the Board:
.
I am representing Ntelos, which proposed a personal wireless services facility on
property owned by T.E. Wood located on Route 29 south, near the intersection of
Arrowhead Valley Road. On November 9, the Planning Commission approved
SPD 04-095 as the first personal wireless services facility considered under the new
wireless ordinance the Board approved on October 13, 2004. While Ntelos was
pleased that the facility was approved, it was disappointed that the Commission denied
Ntelos' request that the facility be approved at a height ten feet above the top of the
trees, as requested. Pursuant to the provisions of the new ordinance, Ntelos has
respectfully elected to appeal this denial to the Board of Supervisors for its
consideration on December 8.
Section 5.1.40(d)(6) of the new wireless ordinance states that the top of the monopole
may not be more than seven feet above the top of the tallest tree within twenty-five feet
of the monopole, but that the Commission can nevertheless approve a facility up to ten
feet above the tallest tree if the applicant demonstrates that there will be no material
difference in the visibility of the monopole at that height rather than at seven feet above
the tallest tree, and that there is not a material difference in adverse impacts to
resources identified in the county's open space plan caused by the monopole at the
proposed height. The staff report had already concluded that the facility would not have
any adverse impacts to resources identified in the county's open space plan, and the
Commission did not disagree with this conclusion. The issue is therefor whether there
is a material difference in the visibility of the pole at ten feet above the tallest tree rather
than seven feet above. Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (10th Ed.) defines
material as "having real importance or great consequences."
Prior to the Planning Commission hearing Ntelos submitted evidence in the form of
photosimulations demonstrating that there is no material difference in the visibility of the
facility at ten feet above versus seven feet above. The photosimulations demonstrate
.
.
.
.
November 30,2004
Page 2
that given the existence of a wooded backdrop of trees behind the facility from all
vantage points, the difference in three feet of height between what was proposed and
what was approved does not create a difference in visibility that has "real importance or
great consequences." Thus, there is no material difference in visibility. This conclusion
is strengthened by the fact that the facility is located over 1140 feet from the pavement
of Route 29 at its closest point. So when viewed with the naked eye, the difference in
visibility of the facility at the proposed height versus at seven feet above the tallest tree,
may barely even be noticeable, much less be material. The photosimulations were
made using balloon test photographs taken using a zoom lens. For your reference I
have included copies of the photosimulations that were provided to the Commission.
The proposed facility would entirely replace an existing Ntelos facility on the same
parcel that was approved and constructed in 1998, but that no longer functions
adequately. The facility was sited at too low of an elevation for the surrounding
topography and vegetation, and with the growth of the surrounding trees over the past
six years, now causes dropped calls along Route 29 in nearly every instance. Ntelos
has determined that relocating the facility to a higher elevation is the only feasible option
to ensure quality service for its customers, and wants to ensure that the new facility will
function well. The difference in the quality of service from a facility that is seven feet
above the tallest tree versus ten feet above the tallest tree is significant. With the "tree-
top" design facility, every extra foot of distance between the bottoms of the panel
antennas and the tops of the trees means less signal interference, and better coverage.
Given that the expected visibility between the facility at ten feet above versus seven feet
above will not be material, I am hopeful the Board will agree that Ntelos has met the
standard in Section 5.1.40(d)(6) that warrants the Board's approval of the facility at the
proposed height of ten feet above the tallest tree.
I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this request, and would be
pleased to address any questions or comments you may have regarding this matter. If I
can be of assistance in any way, please feel free to contact me at my office at 977-2545
or at home at 293-8407.
Sincerely,
VttiwL w, 'Þ-Q

Dear Mrs. Salser,
Enclosed you will find an expected growth forecast for the proposed project
entitled "'T.E. Wood Property (CV652)". After inspecting the. site and taking into
account the soil type, aspect, drainage and the mix and Qge of tree species I can
make reasonable predictions about the growth rate of trees on the site. Also
enclosed is a soil sample that my condusions are based on.
". t.~:;·~¡:.;.... :~"".:~:'.:;'Þ'
r Wiutd'èj(pêt' 2-3' of vertical growth per year on average. The site is of
moderate to high quality from a soil perspective and the species that grow there
art,·medil.fhffofast in growth rate. The key' components of pH, soil Nitrogen,
Organic matter and CEC (nutrient retention capacity) are all in a good range. for
rapid tree growth, ];t should be noted that the trees might grow more slowly in
drier yéars:(1-2') .
MoSt óf the trees on site'are'relath1ety yoúngand will continue to grow rapidly if
condìrionsallow for the foreseeable-'future. (20'-30 years) The maximum height

ZMA 2004-0015 BOAR'S HEAD INN AND SPORTS CLUB TENNIS FACILITIES
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant is seeking to rezone approximately 10.6 acres from R-l Residential to HC,
Commercial with proffers, to allow construction of up to 6 new indoor tennis courts at the Boar's
Head Sports Club. (see Attachments C and H). If approved, a major site plan amendment will
be requested. The existing sports club parcel has split zoning: the northern portion is zoned
Highway Commercial (as is the Inn), and the southern portion is zoned R-l Residential (as is the
golf course). The applicant will also seek approval to disturb critical slopes and allow activity
within the buffer, with review of the site plan amendment.
Petition for ZoninQ Map Amendment
Request to rezone approximately 10.6 acres from R-l, Residential to HC, Highway Commercial,
to allow new indoor and outdoor tennis courts with associated parking at the existing Boar's
Head Inn & Sports Club. The property, described as Tax Map S9D2 Section 1 ParcellS and Tax
Map 75 Parcel 63 (portion), is zoned R-l, Residential and HC, Highway Commercial. It is
located on the south side ofIvy Road (Route 2S0 West), just west of the entrance to Ednam and
south of the Boar's Head Inn, in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. (see Attachments A and
B) The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Office Service and Institutional in
Neighborhood 6.
Character of the Area:
The proposed expansion site is located at the southern edge of the Boar's Head Inn property,
adjacent to and north of Hole Three of the Birdwood Golf Course. The sports club parcel is
bordered to the east by the Ednam Village development and to the west, beyond a pond, by
Ednam Forest. Access is via Ednam Drive and Berwick Court, internal private roadways that
serve only the club.
Applicant's Justification for the Request:
For the past few years the University of Virginia tennis program has used the sports club facility
for its winter activities, consisting primarily of practice with occasional invitational tournaments.
(Regular season tournaments are held at the Schneider courts at Emmet and University.) The
University use has lengthened wait times for sports club members, and the facility is not well
designed for tournaments. Three of the existing courts are in the main building, with three more
located in the "Bubble," which is a seasonal structure, noisy and limited in height. The addition
of six additional courts (and three replaced courts) would accommodate both students and club
players. At this time there is no pending request for more outdoor courts, although the
applicant's concept plan indicates that possibility in the area west of the proposed parking lot.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval, with proffers. Staff believes that the additional indoor courts and
parking area can be accommodated on the site without adverse impacts to the club, neighborhood
or general public. The applicant has proposed proffers to address pennitted accessory uses,
1
building massing and roofline design, adjustment of parcel boundaries, and event parking
management.
ZoninCl and Subdivision History:
Original zoning: no information available.
Other activity:
SDP 1999-051 - site plan amendment to add a lap pool, tot pool and two-story building
addition on 1.1 acre at the Inn
SDP 2000-022 - site plan amendment to remove existing bath house and add spa facility
SDP 2002-018 - site plan amendment to add laundry storage shed to the existing loading
dock
Comprehensive Plan:
The Boar's Head Inn is recommended for Office Service in Neighborhood Six of the
Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Plan. Recommended Office Service uses include the following:
· Office parks and mixed-use planned developments emphasizing office uses and regional
scale research and office uses providing information and professional services to the
County and the larger region. Limited production activities and marketing of products
may be included.
· High density residential, commercial, and motel/hotel/conference facilities may be
included as a secondary use.
· Office Service designation requires a large site size (20+ acres), arterial road
accessibility, water and sewer availability, and compatibility with adjacent land uses.
The Neie:hborhood Model
Neighborhood Model principles are not strongly reflected in the Inn complex as a whole, which
pre-dated the County's current policy and embodies a formerly suburban approach to
development. Those which are reflected to some degree in this proposal are:
Pedestrian Orientation - No new pedestrian access from the Inn to the sports club is proposed
with this rezoning or the site plan amendment to follow. The rezoning is requested to better
accommodate current demand for tennis facilities at the club (by building more courts), rather
than in response to a new use. Existing guest usage is not anticipated to change but should
become more efficient and convenient with shorter wait times. Despite the fact that there are
few sidewalks/paths throughout the Inn and surrounding neighborhoods, the lakes and Inn
campus do receive regular pedestrian use by people walking along the internal travelways. The
narrow streets, generally low traffic volumes and speeds, and mature trees make it a pleasant
pedestrian environment under most circumstances despite the lack of formal sidewalks.
Retrofitting sidewalks in a number of portions of the Boar's Head complex would be difficult
without damaging or destroying mature landscaping and structures. For these reasons, staff has
not required new pedestrian facilities.
Neighborhood Friendlv Streets and Paths - Landscaping/streetscaping make many of the internal
streets attractive for pedestrians.
2
.
.
Interconnected Streets and Transportation Networks - The Inn campus has an internal
interconnected system which functions well under normal usage. However, presently there is
only one access point, Ednam Drive at Route 250 West. This major intersection is signalized,
and VDOT indicates that it is adequate for the expanded use. In conversations associated with
this request, staff has emphasized to the applicant that a second access point will be needed soon.
The applicant agrees, and indicates that it is studying how this might be accomplished through
Birdwood Golf Course. A development proposal is currently under review for the Kappa Sigma
property, across from the golf course, and if it or any other proposal is approved it is anticipated
that it will incorporate a signal at Ivy Road. Staff notes that with signalization, the existing golf
course intersection would be better equipped to function as a second access point for Boar's
Head. An event management plan for tournaments and other events that generate parking
demand in excess of existing inventory is proffered by the applicant.
Mixture of Uses - The proposed site and neighboring parcels are characterized by a mixture of
facilities and uses including inn, restaurant, offices, conference facilities, retail outlets, special
events, and sports club. The adjacent golf course and Worthington Drive residential
neighborhood further mix uses on the site. Several of these uses are very complementary, such
as inn, office and conference space, and residential and sports club.
Neighborhood Centers - The Inn serves as a neighborhood center, and has the potential to
become a better center with improved access. It is an important amenity in Neighborhood Six as
well as an employment center.
Site Planning that Respects Terrain - The indoor tennis facilities are extensive and involve a
large structure. The applicant is attempting to accommodate the sloping terrain to the west of the
existing club by stepping down the floor elevation. Because visual impacts will almost entirely
affect the adjacent golf course, also owned by the applicant, there is a strong incentive to create
an attractive addition. The applicant has agreed to break up the mass with a terraced roof. In
staff's view, Birdwood Golf Course is an area of extraordinary natural beauty and its visual
quality should not be diminished by this project. The applicant indicates that it shares this
concern.
.
Analvsis of the Rezonina ReQuest
Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested
zoning district
The applicant is requesting a zoning map amendment from R-I, Residential to HC, Highway
Commercial because that is the only zoning district in which both indoor and outdoor tennis
courts can be accommodated as a health spa use (the existing sports club). Following guidance
from County staff, this request was originally submitted as a special use permit for an indoor
athletic use on the R-I, Residential [southern] portion of the sports club parcel. In the review
process, staff discovered that because of the split zoning, the 50-foot setback required between
the commercial use and the adjacent residential district not only made the building addition
impossible but also meant that the current club itself would become non-conforming. With
proposed proffers eliminating the majority of the permitted HC uses, if approved the health spa
facilities would be allowed along with customary accessory uses. There is no intention to
develop the parcel for typical Highway Commercial activities, and it does not meet the standard
intent of the HC district.
3
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services
ROADS
VDOT has commented that internal changes to the site will not effect traffic at the Route 250
intersection. Although internal roads function adequately during normal Inn operation, at times
of special events parking and circulation are not adequate. It would be difficult to enlarge
existing roads to current standards (including sidewalks) without very adversely impacting the
built environment and character of the Inn complex or even eliminating sections of existing
structures. Therefore, the applicant has proffered an event management procedure that will
emphasize parking off-site combined with shuttle services and traffic management on the
property. In staff's opinion, a second access point should be required with any further expansion
beyond the current indoor facility enlargement, including the outdoor courts shown on the
concept plan. As noted, the applicant has indicated that it agrees with this assessment.
A service and/or emergency access currently exists on the west side of the sports club building.
This access should be maintained with the club expansion.
WATER AND SEWER
Water and sewer are adequate for the proposed use.
STORMW A TER MANAGEMENT
Existing ponds throughout the golf course can accommodate the increase in stormwater resulting
from the expansion. The Natural Resources Manager has recommended against new
impoundments, and in fact the applicant has not proposed any. With a rezoning, however,
County policy generally is to request preservation of the stream buffer whether or not the
ordinance requires it. In this case, the applicant's concept plan provides for a 50-foot buffer and
Natural Resources indicates that this is acceptable. (see Attachment E)
SCHOOLS
The expansion of the club will not impact schools.
FISCAL IMP ACT
A fiscal impact analysis has not been requested, due to the fact that the additional square footage
being requested does not significantly change employment numbers but rather involves mainly a
change to programming and spatial needs.
Anticipated impact on cultural and historic resources
No impact is expected on cultural or historic resources.
Anticipated impact on nearby and surrounding properties
The tennis facility expansion will accommodate the University use and also allow a limited
expansion in club membership. There will be some impact to nearby and surrounding properties
from this higher level of activity, primarily in the form of traffic. However, staff agrees with the
applicant that much of the increased capacity will capture and satisfy existing demand. At a
recent neighborhood meeting, many adjacent residents indicated that they are members of the
club.
Public need and justification for the change
If the rezoning is approved, the University's tennis program would benefit from improved winter
training. In staff's opinion, expansion of the existing sports club use results in less impact to the
4
.
.
.
general public and natural resources than what would result from construction of a new facility,
and it also provides an enhanced opportunity for club members who play tennis. The general
public benefits from an opportunity to participate in and watch a higher level of competition
because of improved facilities.
Summary
Staff has identified the following factors favorable to this rezoning request:
1. The building expansion can be accommodated by the existing site, without adverse
impacts to the physical environment, other activities on the site, or nearby properties and
neighborhoods. Some enlargement of the sports club parcel is needed to contain the
additional courts, parking and setbacks, but this enlargement has minimal impact on the
adjacent residential areas and golf course. The parcel most impacted by the expansion
(golf course) is also owned by the applicant.
2. The sports club use and tennis facilities have operated successfully in this location for a
number of years. Many neighborhood residents belong to the club, and can walk to it.
Club owners have a strong incentive to make the expanded facilities attractive and as
compatible as possible with surrounding development, since the golf course and Inn are
under the same ownership.
3. The applicant is willing to proffer an event management plan to address parking and
circulation impacts from the expanded tennis facilities which will largely keep parking
off the site.
Staff has identified factors that are not favorable to this request:
1. With no approved master plan, the expansion of the club has been and continues to be an
incremental process which makes it more difficult to evaluate impacts.
2. There is currently no second access point to the Inn and Club, although the applicant has
been advised by staff (and indicates agreement) that this deficiency must be remedied at
the time of any additional development on the site.
3. The existing development pattern at the Inn and sports club makes it difficult if not
impossible to retrofit pedestrian facilities.

Boar's Head Sports Club Zonine: Map Amendment Application
1. What is the Comprehensive Plan designation for this property?
The property is located in Neighborhood 6. Approximately 5.25 acres of tax map
parcel 59D2-1-15 is designated for Office Services. The remaining approximately 4.6
acres of tax map parcel 59D2-1-15 is designated for Institutional Services. Tax map
parcel 75-63 is designated for Institutional Services.
2. What public need or benefit does this rezoning serve?
The proposed project will provide a public benefit in several ways. The project
will provide expanded recreational facilities. The Boar's Head Sports Club is an
extremely popular, family-oriented facility which has been traditionally operated to
support the larger community and University by providing the highest quality sporting,
athletic and recreational facilities.
The University men's and women's tennis teams utilize the facility to play
matches and conduct practice. The additional courts will allow the facility to better serve
the needs of this constituency as well as the existing patrons of the club. It will promote
the health, safety and general welfare of the community by enhancing the existing
recreational facilities and providing facilities that can be used and enjoyed by the
community on a year-round basis, thus providing more regular recreational opportunities.
3. Are public water, sewer and roads available to serve this site? Will there be
any impact on these facilities?
This property is within the Albemarle County Service Authority jurisdictional
area. Public water, sewer and roads are available to serve this site.
4. What impact will there be on the County's natural, scenic, and historic
resources?
No adverse impact on the County's natural, scenic and historic resources is
expected to occur as a result of this project.
Option: Do you have plans to develop the property if the rezoning is approved? If
so please describe.
Yes, if the rezoning is approved, the applicants propose to replace three outdoor
tennis courts (seasonally located indoor under a temporary structure) with between six
q
Attachment C
and ten indoor tennis courts, a multi-sport court and expanded fitness facilities space plus
support facilities such as locker rooms.
Describe your request in detail including why you are requesting this particular
zoning district:
The applicants propose to replace three outdoor tennis courts (seasonally located
indoor under a temporary structure) with between six and ten indoor tennis courts, plus
support facilities as described above. Parking would be expanded to accommodate the
additional uses. A plan showing the conceptual location of the proposed expansion is
included with this application.
Approximately half of tax map parcel 59D2-1-15 is zoned Highway Commercial,
and the other half is zoned R -1 Residential. The applicants propose to rezone the R-1
Residential portion of tax map parcel 59D2-1-15 to Highway Commercial so it is
consistent with the balance of the parcel, which will permit the construction of the
proposed indoor tennis court facility. In addition, the applicants propose to rezone
approximately 6 acres oftax map parcel 75-63 from R-1 Residential to Highway
Commercial. Parcel 75-63 is the Birdwood Golf Course. Once the entire portion of tax
map parcel 59D2-1-15, and the six-acre portion of tax map parcel 75-63 are rezoned to
Highway Commercial, the property will permit the use of the property for a Health Spa
by right, which would pennit both indoor and outdoor tennis facilities and the supporting
facilities.

11/10/2004
DATE:
Until the point that the applicant submitted a plan showing a building extending across the
zoning district line, we thought the athletic facilities desired could be most easily established
in the one SP application. However, there is no justification for a variance and without one,
the building in the HC district cannot be within 50 feet of the residential district. Therefore,
the applicant has changed the Special Use application to this Rezoning application.
With the change to a rezoning, we must have a survey that accurately defines the meets and
bounds of the property to be rezoned prior to any Board action. In addition, a boundary
adjustment will have to be put to record to move the land from the Birdwood parcel to the
Boar's Head Sports Club property so that there is no issue with the existing property line.
Since the Birdwood Golf Course is permitted under a special use permit in the R-1 district
and a small portion of it will be rezoned to accommodate the Sports Club tennis facilities,
that small part of the golf course will be made nonconforming. The golf cart path also falls
within the required 20' undisturbed buffer between the commercial and residential zoning
districts.
My prior comments on parking remain the same: In terms of parking, our standard for
recreational facilities including swimming pools is 1 space per 125sf usable recreation area.
In addition, tennis courts require 2 spaces per court. In order to calculate the number of
spaces required for the whole use, we may need a floor plan. If the spaces are shared with
the Inn or the golf course, we will be happy to consider shared parking under section
4.12.10. The applicant will most likely need to submit a parking study for this analysis.
I gave you my comments on the proffers and hope you will address them with your own to
the applicant.

Susan,
My last comments on this project assumed that a 100' buffer would be preserved along Morey Creek. Morey
Creek is intermittent at this location, and the project is located in a development area, but not within a water
supply protection area. As such, the buffer requirements of the water protection ordinance do not apply.
However, when provided an opportunity during a rezoning, it is preferable to try to preserve buffers where we are
able, hence my request for a 100' buffer during my review of the project.
It's my understanding now that the project plans show a 50' foot buffer now. A 50' buffer is acceptable in this
instance, and shows that the applicant is attempting to voluntarily preserve the existing stream buffer.
Thanks!

amended as follows:
By Amending:

APPENDIX A.I.
Acquisition of Conservation Easements Program

Each application for a conservation easement shall be processed as follows:
A Application materials to be provided to owner. The application materials provided
by the program administrator to an owner shall include, at a minimum, a standard application
form, a sample deed of easement, and information about the ACE program.
B. Application form. Each application shall be submitted on a standard form prepared by
the program administrator. The application form shall require, at a minimum, that the owner: (i) provide
the name of all owners of the parcel, the address of each owner, the acreage of the parcel, the Albemarle
County tax map and parcel number, the zoning designation of the parcel, and permission for the program
administrator to enter the property after reasonable notice to the owner to evaluate the parcel and for the
county assessor or an independent appraiser to appraise the property; and (ii) state his adjusted gross
income for the three (3) prior tax years, as explained in section Al-lll(B). The application form shall
also include a space for an owner to indicate that he volunteers to have the parcel be subject to greater
restrictions than those contained in the standard sample deed of easement, and to delineate those
voluntary, additional restrictions.
C. Additional application ilfformation required by program administrator. The program
administrator may require an owner to provide additional information deemed necessary to determine: (i)
whether the proposed easement is eligible for purchase; and (ii) the purchase price of the easement.
D. Submittal of application. Applications shall be submitted to the office of the program
administrator. An application may be submitted at any time. However, applications received after
October 31 shall be evaluated in the following year.
E. Evaluation by program administrator. The program administrator shall evaluate each
application received and determine within fifteen (15) days whether the application is complete. If the
application is incomplete, the program administrator shall inform the owner in writing of the information
that must be submitted in order for the application to be deemed complete. When an application is
deemed complete, the program administrator shall determine whether the parcel satisfies the eligibility
criteria set forth in section AI-I 07 and, if it does, shall determine the number of points to be attributed to
the parcel by applying the criteria set forth in section AI-I 08. The program administrator shall then rank
1
each parcel scoring at least fifteen (15) points, with the parcel scoring the most points being the highest
ranked and descending thereftom, and submit the list of ranked parcels to the ACE committee.
F. Evaluation and ranking by ACE committee. The ACE committee shall review the list of
ranked parcels submitted by the program administrator and shall rank the parcels in the order of priority it
recommends the easements shall be purchased. The committee shall then forward to the board of
supervisors its recommendation of which conservation easements should be purchased.
G. Evaluation and ranking by board of supervisors. The board of supervisors shall review
the list of ranked parcels submitted by the ACE committee and identify on which parcels it desires
conservation easements. The board shall then rank those parcels on which it will seek to purchase
conservation easements. Nothing in this appendix shall obligate the board to purchase a conservation
easement on any property that meets the minimum number of qualifying points.
H. Appraisal of conservation easement value. Each conservation easement identified by the
board of supervisors to be purchased shall be appraised either by the county assessor or by an independent
qualified appraiser chosen by the county. Each completed appraisal shall be submitted to the program
administrator and the owner. The program administrator shall forward each appraisal to the appraisal
review committee, which shall review each appraisal and make recommendations thereon to the board of
SupervIsors.
I. Requirements and deadlines may be waived. Any requirement or deadline set forth in
this appendix may be waived by the board of supervisors if, for good cause, it is shown that exigent
circumstances exist to warrant consideration of an otherwise untimely application, or it is shown that the
requirements unreasonably restrict the purchase of an easement. Under these circumstances, the board
may purchase a conservation easement at any time it deems necessary and subject to only those
requirements it deems appropriate.
J. Reapplication. An owner whose parcel is not selected for purchase of a conservation
easement may reapply in any future year.

supervisors by September 1 its recommendation of which conservation easements should be purchased.
G. Evaluation and ranking by board of supervisors. The board of supervisors shall review
the list of ranked parcels submitted by the ACE committee and identify on which parcels it desires
conservation easements. The board shall then rank those parcels on which it will seek to purchase
conservation easements that year. Nothing in this appendix shall obligate the board to purchase a
conservation easement on any property that meets the minimum number of qualifying points.
H. Appraisal of conservation easement value. Each conservation easement identified by the
board of supervisors to be purchased shall be appraised either by the county assessor or by an independent
qualified appraiser chosen by the county. Each appraisal should be completed by October 1. Each

RE:
Groundwater Ordinance; proposed additional revisions
In addition to the revision to Section 17-403 requested by the Board at its October 27,2004
worksession discussed in the Executive Summary, staff recommends two other revisions described ,'f\.
paragraphs 1 and 2 below. These proposed revisions are intended to be nonsubstantive and are
intended to simply clarify the interpretation of the regulations. In the attached draft ordinance, the
proposed revisions, including the proposed revision to Section 17-403, are identified by shading.
1. Section 17-400 (table, bottom of page 2, top of page 3): Certain Tier 3 and Tier 4
assessments are triggered by preliminary site plans. The prior draft ordinance referred to preliminary
site plans for "commercial and industrial" uses. It was apparent from a review of Staff and
Groundwater Committee reports that residential uses requiring site plans were to be exempt from
these assessments. Agricultural uses are generally exempt from the site plan requirements and would
not be subject to this regulation. However, there is a range of institutional and other uses that may
not cleanly fall into a "commercial" or "industrial" use classification but are intended to be subject to
this ordinance. To address this potential ambiguity, staff proposes that "commercial and industrial"
uses be changed to "nonresidential and nonagricultural" uses in the table at the bottom of page 2 and
the top of page 3.
2. Section 17-400 (last paragraph, page 3): Although the overwhelming majority of
subdivision plats and site plans are reviewed in a two-step (preliminary-final plat or plan) process, an
owner has the option of skipping the preliminary plat/site plan step and submitting only a final plat or
site plan. The table in section 17-400 requires that the various tier assessments be submitted prior to
approval of the preliminary plat or site plan. The proposed last paragraph would provide that if the
owner skips the preliminary step of the process and submits a final plat or site plan in the first
instance, the applicable tier assessment must begin or be submitted when the final plat or site plan is
submitted.
3. Section 17-403 (last paragraph. top of page 4): This is the revision requested by the
Board at its October 27, 2004 worksession, allowing the program authority reviewing a Tier 3
assessment to require additional information or a Tier 4 assessment when there are special areas of
concern.

LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
BACKGROUND:
The current proposal for a groundwater ordinance and assessment standards has a long history, including:
· Groundwater testing standards and the formation of a groundwater committee were explicitly listed as strategies in
Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan (1999).
· The committee was formed in the fall of 2000 based on authorizations from both the Board and Planning
Commission. The Committee produced its interim report, Underground Albemarle, on October 2001.
. The Planning Commission held five work sessions throughout the process of developing the ordinance and
standards, and held two public hearings (June 1 and August 10, 2004) to amend the relevant ordinances. The
Board of Supervisors adopted resolutions of intent to amend the appropriate ordinances to adopt the groundwater
program on September 3, 2003 and held five work sessions through the ordinance development process.
· A public Roundtable review process was held early in 2004. The groundwater committee considered all public
comments and made final recommendations for the groundwater standards.
At the Commission's August 10, 2004 public hearing and work session, the Commission recommended approval of the
program elements. The program requires amendments to the Water Protection, Zoning, and Subdivision ordinances.
Attachments A, Band C are the recommended ordinance language for the Subdivision Ordinance, Water Protection
Ordinance, and Zoning Ordinance.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 2.2: Protect andlor preserve the County's natural resources.
DISCUSSION:
At the Board's October 27, 2004 work session, staff presented the ordinance as recommended by the Planning
Commission and discussed two concerns which the Board had identified at a July worksession. Those concerns were:
1. Should the standards be made more stringent by requiring Tier 4 assessments (aquifer and pump testing) for
subdivisions plats of a certain size andlor density, and providing for certain plats to be rejected if some threshold of
water yield could not be met, as determined by the test?
2. How does the proposed program prevent new wells on individual rural lots (not part of a newly platted division)
from becoming contaminated from known petroleum releases, as happened in the Red Hill area in the early
1990's?
Subsequent to the Board's July work session, staff consulted with the groundwater committee and several state agencies
to get a recommendation on these concerns. Those recommendations were discussed and addressed at the October
work session.
Requirinq Aquifer Testinq for Certain Subdivision Plats
In response to the concern raised by the Board, it was decided at the October work session to modify Section 17.403(A.) of
the proposed ordinance, which addresses Tier 3 assessments, to allow for the requirement of a Tier 4 assessment if
warranted. In addition, in the design standards for Tier 3 groundwater assessments, language also allows staff to require
more stringent groundwater assessment data (including a Tier 4 assessment) where special areas of concern, such as a
previously unknown source of contamination, are identified. Staff believes this approach provides adequate flexibility and
allows the Groundwater Manager to require a more structured testing protocol when conditions warrant. Staff will plan on
returning to the Board one year after the program is implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of this provision.
Preventinq Contamination of Newly Drilled Wells on Rural Lots
This issue involved coordination between the Virginia Department of Health (the agency that issues permits for wells) and
the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (the agency that investigates leaking tank incidents). This issue is
recognized at the state-level, and the State Code was amended in 1998 to address it (Section 62.1-44.15:4.1). This Code
section requires DEQ to notify VDH of any confirmed release or discharge of oil. In response to the code language, the two
agencies have instituted a method of communication and coordination on underground storage tank investigations. DEQ
updates the leaking tank list on a web site on a periodic basis, and VDH downloads the information for each district and
makes it available to the sanitarians who issue well and septic permits. Staff recommends the Groundwater Manager
monitor the existing protocol between DEQ and VDH and, after one year, advise the Board on any County actions needed
to bolster communication or review to prevent a Red Hill type incident.
Effective Date of Ordinance
Staff recommends that the ordinance be effective sixty days after adoption. This delay will allow for the completion of
the selection and training of the Groundwater Manager, who will be critical to the implementation of this ordinance. In
addition, this time allows staff to ensure that the necessary changes are in the Design Manual, the modifications to the
permitting process are in place, and staff has given the public adequate notice of what to expect with the new
ordinance. That is intended to assure a smooth transition for our customers.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Adopt the attached amendments to the Water Protection, Zoning, and Subdivision ordinances, to be made effective 60
days after adoption.

Advocates for a Sustainable Albemarle Population (ASAP)
Statement to the Albemarle County Supervisors, December 8, 2004
Proposed Groundwater Assessment Ordinance
I'm Jack Marshall, a resident of White Hall District, but speaking to you as President Advocates
for a Sustainable Albemarle Population. ASAP, now representing hundreds of paid members, is
pleased to add its enthusiastic support for the proposed Groundwater Assessment Ordinance, and
our thanks to the Committee and staff members who worked to prepare it.
Testing to ensure that there is adequate groundwater before a building permit is issued is an
entirely reasonable and commonsense requirement to place on the developer, and an effective
way to provide valuable community-wide data.
Moreover, it's a step toward acknowledging that development in our rural areas has to take into
account the limits of our natural resources. There are, indeed, limits to growth. This ordinance
recognizes one of the most obvious environmental constraints - the availability of enough water
for each proposed new house.
We would be even more enthusiastic about this ordinance if it focused not just on the need to test
whether there's enough water for each individual new household, but if it also required a look at
the quality of water, and measured each new well's effect at a community level. Perhaps when
this ordinance is revisited in a year, as you plan to do, you could consider expanding it to include
an assessment of the impact of each proposed new well on the quantity of water availability to
neighboring parcels.
No parcel in the Rural Area is an island; each new residence influences other parcels and
households as it drills wells, builds septic fields, affects the view shed, adds to traffic, and so
forth. As more and more development occurs in Albemarle County - as you know, we're on
track to double our population in about 30 years - we've got to give more attention to how each
new residence influences our existing homes, and what the cumulative effect of many
developments is on our environment and quality of life.
This ordinance - though it doesn't deal with the big picture - is nevertheless a good first step,
and we hope you' Il approve it.

League of Women Voters
Groundwater Ordinance
December 8, 2004
The League of Women Voters has often urged the County to develop measures that will
better protect and support sustainability of our groundwater resources. We have all come
to recognize with great clarity the importance of groundwater, not only as the source of
water for human uses in the rural areas, but also as an essential component of surface
water recharge and of healthy ecosystems that support all life. In developing the
groundwater ordinance, the County has created the means to achieve the goals of
stewardship and sustainability expressed in the Comprehensive Plan.
The groundwater assessments required by the amendments to Chapters 17, 14 and 18 will
provide long tenn benefits to the County. They will help us manage our water resources
better on an ongoing basis. Information gained from application of the standards will also
build up the database needed for wise water and land use decisions in the future. We see
the required drilling and assessments as an immediate benefit to developers and future
homeowners as well, since they give greater indication of a safe, adequate supply of
water before the first brick is laid.
As the tiered approach is based on proposed land uses, size of development and special
attention to groundwater sensitivity areas, it assigns responsibility to land developers in
an appropriate and fair way. The allowance for program administrators to require a higher
tier if there is evidence to support it (for example, from the Health Department or
Department of Environmental Quality) is an important strengthening of the ordinance.
We look forward to greater County oversight of groundwater issues and improved
communication among agencies that deal with groundwater.
The League sees the proposed groundwater ordinance as a giant step forward in
promoting sustainability, and we heartily support its passage, and implementation of the
assessment standards.

Proposed Groundwater Ordinance and Assessment Standards
Statement to the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
December 8, 2004
My name is John Foster and I represent the Piedmont Environmental Council.
The PEC was created in 1972 to protect the rural landscape of the Piedmont. In partnership with
Albemarle County landowners, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and other individuals and
organizations, over 42,300-acres of the County is permanently protected under conservation easement.
In the PEe's nine-county region, this total is almost 190,000 acres: an area larger than the Shenandoah
National Park.
The PEC supports adoption of the recommended Groundwater Ordinance and Assessment Standards. The
County must take this first step towards better understanding our groundwater resources and their
limitations.
Water is the source of all life. We rely upon it. Our crops and livestock rely upon it. Our plants, trees and
wildlife rely on it. Our fragile ecosystem relies upon it. Unfortunately, groundwater is too often viewed as
an isolated resource and singularly affected only by the demands of the development directly above it.
Too often, we accept that myth that groundwater is unrelated to the flow of our rivers and streams.
As we learned during the last drought, groundwater and surfacewater are not unlimited resources.
Hydroligists and geologists have told us the hydrological cycle cannot be broken into discrete, unrelated
segments. We have groundwater because it rains. Our streams and rivers flow because of groundwater.
Water evaporates off of our rivers and lakes giving us the clouds and, completing the cycle, the rain.
We know that if Ie disrupt the groundwater recharge areas, we will disrupt the cycle. We know that if we
stress the capacity of the groundwater resource, the volume flowing in our rivers and streams-and into
our reservoirs-will decline. The water resources serving the Growth Area, the City and the Rural Area
are all related. This relationship remains even if we reduce our reliance on local reservoirs and use the
same water from further downstream in the James River.
These proposed assessment standards are critical to collecting the data necessary for a clearer picture of
the capacity limitations of our local water resources. These standards are necessary to develop protection
measures for current residents who rely on their wells. Though common sense suggests that no
development should occur where adequate water cannot be located, these standards are not intended to
limit or even stop development. However, as our Rural Area slowly transforms into suburbia, these
standards are necessary to begin evaluating when-or, even, if--demand might exceed the capacity of this
community's ground and surfacewater resources.
Thank you.
