Dear Community Member:
On April 20th, we will have the first public discussion of an issue that is a basic concern
to all of us: water for our future. In preparation for this discussion and those that will
follow, we offer you a copy of our new booklet, Water in the New Millennium.
We urge you to read and share the material in the booklet with others in your
organization, neighborhood and family so that we can all better understand this complex
issue, ask the hard questions and make input that will lead to sound decisions.
For additional copies, please contact the League office at the numbers above or on
E-Mail at lwv~avenue, org. Contributions to the Charlottesville/Albemarle League of
Women Voters or the LWV Education Fund to help defray the cost of publication would
be greatly appreciated.
The booklet will also be available on the League's Web site at the following address:
http://avenue.orgllwv
The meeting on Tuesday, April 20, 1999, will be held at 7:00 p.m. in City Council
Chamber, Charlottesville City Hall. Consultants for the Rivanna Water and Sewer
Authority will outline potential water supply alternatives, as well as the process and
criteria for meeting regulatory requirements and choosing the best combination for our
community needs. They will then seek questions, suggestions, and comments from the
public. For those unable to attend the meeting, it will be televised live and videotaped for
future airing on the local cable channel. More information on the alternatives to be
discussed can be obtained a week before the meeting by calling the Rivanna Water and
Sewer Authority at 977-2970, extension 101.
Help decide your future by participating fully in this public meeting and in future
discussions as the process evolves!

IN FORMATION:
At its meeting on March 8, 1999, and March 22, 1999, the School Board approved the following appropriations:
Appropriation of $75.00 for Red Hill Elementary School. Red Hill Elementary School received a donation from Mr.
Donal Day in memory of his cousin, Chris Showers of Twin Falls, Idaho. Mr. Day requested this donation be used to
enhance the mission of the library at the school.
Appropriation of $53,741.68. Albemarle County Schools has been awarded a grant in the amount of $53,741.68 under
funding for the Goals 2000: Educate America Act. These funds will be used to purchase classroom computers and
related technologies to help upgrade business labs at Albemarle High School and the technology lab at Sutherland
Middle School.
Appropriation of $6,876.00 from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. The Virginia Commission for the Arts has made
Teacher Incentive Grant awards to several teachers in the Albemarle County Public Schools. The Teacher Incentive
Grant Program has been established to help strengthen the quality of education in and through the arts in elementary
and secondary schools, to explore new opportunities for creativity in the classroom, and to encourage innovative
projects which integrate the arts into non-arts curricula.
Transfer of $161,735 for the Comprehensive Services Act. The CSA Committee of the Commission on Children and
Families (CCF) has requested supplemental funding for the CSA Programs for FY 1999. The total supplement request
is $1,733,949, of which 45% ($780,277) is local match. Of the required supplemental local match, $161,735 is
requested from the School Division to pay for special education cost associated with CSA children and the remaining
amount of $618,542 was requested and appropriated from general government funds at the February 7, 1999, Board
of Supervisors meeting. The School Board maintains the only financial reserve contained within the budget. Currently
there is $96,616 in available reserve. With the mild fall and winter, staff anticipates savings due to lower than budgeted
heating and electrical costs. Combining the School Board reserve and heating and electrical savings would meet the
funding requirements for CSA from the school system's budgeted resources. The funding for this transfer could be
met within existing and available resources within the current budget without negatively impacting existing programs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the appropriations, totaling $60,692.68, as detailed on Appropriation
#98068.

Messrs. Tucker, White REVIEWED BY:/(::~P i
BACKGROUND:
On February '22nd, the School Board approved a $6,999.99 donation to the Boys and Girls Club for their
Computers-4-Kids program to be paid from their reserve fund. However, subsequent to this decision, it
was determined that the School Board by state code is not allowed to make contributions to outside
agencies and therefore, a letter was sent to the Chairman of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
requesting approval of the same funding request. The letter from Mr. Dave Hilyard, Executive Director
of the Boys and Girls Club is attached. Also attached for your information is a summary from the School
Board agenda describing the program and the request.
DISCUSSION:
The Boys and Girls Club is a community agency that receives funding from the City of Charlottesville
and the United Way, as well as federal funds and community contributions. They also collect $!2 per
year from each club member, which numbered 241 unduplicated youth in FY98. Their total FY99
budget is $217,049.
The Computers-4-Kids program requested $6,999.99 to fund a part-time program manager and to
purchase peripheral equipment to distribute to the kids. Through a survey, they have determined that
12! county and t22 city students do not have a home computer. To date, they have placed 58
computers in the homes of these students.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since the School Board has already approved funding this program from their reserve fund, staff
recommends that the Board approve a one-time grant to the Boys and Girls Club for $7,000. Funding for
the program will come from the School Board's FY98 budget by reducing the 4th quarter general fund
transfer by $7,000. if the Board chooses to fund this program, it is recommended that any future funding
requests be submitted directly to the Board of Supervisors through the regular budget and program
evaluation process.

The Virginia General Assembly recently enabled legislation reimbursing localities 100% of the administrative costs
associated with the implementation of the Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA). This reimbursement
process is through the State Compensation Board. Earlier this fiscal year, a budget was submitted to the State
Compensation Board for Albemarle County's anticipated expense associated with the PPTRA in the amount of
$29,185.00.
Attached is the first reimbursement request, in the amount of $26,678.28, which was recently submitted to the
Compensation Board. As required, a copy of this reimbursement request is being provided to the Board of
Supervisors.

implementation of PPTRA will be complete by April 17, 1999. Tax bills for the first half of 1999 are scheduled to
be mailed April 26, 1999.

APRIL 14, 1999
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant proposes to use an existing 1,200 square foot building as studio space
for natural fiber processing, classes in spinning and weaviag, and related retail sales. The parcel currently
also contains a residence, barn, and pasture for sheep. (See applicant's project description and sketch plan-
Attachment A)
The applicant's proposal is:
· Processing of natural fibers by shearing, dyeing with natural materials, spinning, knitting, and weaving;
· Retail sales of items hand crafted on the premises, such as wool, clothing, and rugs;
· Retail sales of equipment and accessories used to make these items, such as spinning wheels, weaving
and knitting supplies, etc. (requires waiver of Supplementary Regulations);
· Classes in spinning and weaving once a week. Classes usually contain five students at a time; at the
most they will contain 8-10 students;
· Proposed operating hours are Tuesday through Saturday, between 10 and 5 by appointment only;
· Three (two-day) weekend open houses a year are proposed;
· No employees are proposed.
Petition: Request for special use permit to allow sheep farming with retail sales in accordance with Section
10.2.2.31 of the Zoning Ordinance which allows for Home Occupation, Class B. The property, described as
Tax map 63, Parcel 4lA, contains 4.766 acres, and is located on Hammocks 'Gap Road (Rt. 612)
approximately 0.9 miles from the intersection with Stony Point Road (Rt. 20) in the Rivanna Magisterial
District. The property is zoned PA, Rural Areas. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as
Rural Area. (See tax map - Attachment B).
Character of the Area: Route 612 is a gravel road which serves several large farms and scattered
residences on the west side of the Southwest Mountains. The character of the area is rural and scenic.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with Section
31.2.4.1 (Special Use Permits) and 5.2 (Supplementary Regulations for Home Occupations) of the Zoning
Ordinance and recommends approval with conditions, and approval of a waiver of the Supplementary
Regulations to allow retail sales of equipment and accessories used to make the hand-crafted items.
Planning and Zoning History_: This property has been enrolled in the Eastham AgriculturaUForestal
District since 1993. The Agricultutural/Forestal Districts Advisory Committee reviewed this proposal for
compatibility with the purpose and intent of the District on March 15, 1999.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Rural Area. The site is located
within the Southwest Mountain National Register Rural Historic District, but is not a contributing property.
STAFF COMMENT: Staff has addressed each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to approval of special use permits:
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits permitted
hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued upon a finding by the
Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property,
Staff opinion is that the proposed home occupation use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent
property. The proposed use will take place in a building which is visually compatible with the rural setting.
The traffic to the site will not increase significantly except possibly during the three weekend open house
events.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby,
The applicant's proposal will not change the character of the district. Hammocks Gap Road is rural and
scenic in Character. Along its entire length, properties on one or both sides of the road are enrolled in an
Agricultural/Forestal District. The proposed use supports an appropriate rural activity, sheep farming, which
contibutes to the character of the area.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, relation to the environment, and relation
to Comprehensive Plan as stated in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6, and has found this application to be in
harmony with these sections. Specifically, this request facilitates preservation of agricultural and forestal
lands and activities.
with the hses permitted by right in the district,
This property and the adjacent properties are zoned RA, Rural Areas. Staff opinion is that the proposed use
is in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance,
Section 5.2 addresses home occupations. Staff has addressed each pertinent provision:
Home occupation Class B requires approval of the zoning administrator, including: (1)Virginia
Department of Transportation approval of entrance facilities and (2) determination that the existing
parking is adequate.
Virginia Department of Transportation comments of March 9, 1999 and January 14, 1999 are
attached. (See VDoT letters - Attachment C) The entrance needs to be widened to allow two cars to
meet and pass in the entrance.
Twelve parking spaces are required, including two spaces for the single family dwelling. They are
existing on site.
The total floor area of the occupation shall not exceed 1,500 square feet.
The studio space is 1,200 square feet.
There shall be no visible evidence of the conduct of such home occupation other than one sign.
Accessory stuctures shall be similar in facade to a single-family dwelling, private garage, shed, barn
or other structure normally expected in a rural or residential area and shall be specifically
compatible in design and scale with other development in the area in which located. The accessory
structure shall meet setback and yard regulations for main structures.
The existing structure is a renovated shed which is visually compatible with the rural setting. It is
located over 100 feet from all property lines.
There shall be no sales on the premises, other than items hand 'crafted on the premises, in connection
with such home occupation.
The applicant is requesting a waiver of this regulation, to allow retail sales of equipment and
accessories which are used to make the items hand crafted on the premises. Staff opinion is that the
type of items to be sold are consistent with the agricultural and hand-crafted items. The proposed
sales will generate only limited sporatic additional traffic. Sales will be made by appointment, or to
students enrolled in classes.
No traffic shall be generated by such home occupation in greater volumes than would normally be
expected in a residential neighborhood. Parking generated by the conduct of such home occupation
shall be off-street.
A ~.pical residence generates 70 vehicle trips per week (10 per day). The classes will generate a
maximum of twenty additional trips per week (10 cars X two trips), which is reasonable. The open
houses will generate from 10-20 trips per hour on three weekends per year. Staff opinion is that this
amount is reasonable, if the special events are limited to three per year.
All home occupations shall comply with performance standards in Section 4.14.
Performance standards include noise, vibration, air pollution, water pollution, radioactivity and
electrical interference. No activity is proposed which would violate this section.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
The Virginia Department of Transportation in its letter dated January 14, 1999 notes the sight distance concern
at the intersection of Stony Point Road (Route 20) and Hammocks Gap Road (Route 612). They state that the
proposal Mil probably not create significant numbers, but will add to the non-tolerable concerns of Route 612.
As stated above, the proposed classes will add 20 additional trips per week, and the open houses will add 10-20
trips per hour on three weekends per year. This could be interpreted as adding unnecessary traffic to an
existing non-tolerable road and to an intersection which lacks sight distance. Staff opinion is that the additional
use is not excessive compared to a typical residential use.
In an addendum dated March 9, 1999, they state that the existing driveway should be widened to commercial
standard, or at a minimum to allow two cars to pass in the entrance.
There are no other health, safety or welfare concerns.
AGRICULTURAL/FORESTAL DISTRICTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The Committee at its meeting
on March 15, 1999 unanimously recommended that the proposed use is consistent with the agricultural/forestal
district, and that the Special Use Permit be accepted as proposed by staff. (See Agricultural/Forestal Districts
Advisory Committee minutes - Attachment D).
SUMMARY: Staff opinion is that this request is in compliance with the provisions of Sections 31.2.4.1 and 5.2
of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends approval of the special use permit with conditions, and approval
of the waiver of Supplementary Regulations to allow retail sales of equipment and accessories used to make the
hand-crafted items.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OF SP 98-71:
1. Zoning adminstrator appr6vai of adequacy of existing parking;
2. Widening of the entrance to allow two cars to pass in the entrance;
3. Compliance with Section 5.2, Supplementary Regulations, except:
Waiver of Section 5.2.2.1 .c to allow retail sales of equipment and accessories used ~o make the hand-
crafted items; and
4. The home occupation use shall be substantially as described above as the applicant's proposal.

The following is a request for special use by
Stony Mountain Fibers
PAGE 1
The proposed purpose of Stony Mountain Fibers is to process natural fibers
into finished items such as clothing and rugs by the manual method of
spinning and weaving. The wool fiber provided by sheep raised here on the
farm is used. These finished items will be offered for sale at the studio,
through the mail, in hand-craft galleries and trade shows. In addition to
several small crafts shows in Virginia, I attend major craft shows in North
Carolina, Maryland, New York, Michigan and Ohio. Additionally, the
equipment and accessories that are used to make these items will also offered
for sale. This is to be a sole proprietorship with no employees.
The studio space is 1200 sq. feet in a renovated shed that is separate from
residence on ground level. At some point in the future, it is proposed to
connect the studio and residence by a pergola-type breezeway. There is a
storage area of 240 sq. feet that is accessible by pull-down stairs. There is no
designated gallery or showroom space.
Proposed operating hours will be Tuesday through Saturday between 10 and
5 by appointment only. It is proposed to have an Open House no more than 3
times a year. It is requested that classes in spinning and weaving be offered
at various times throughout the year with limited enrollment. It is requested
that school children be allowed to tour the farm and studio on occasion for
educational purposes.
Our founding forefathers, George Washington, James Madison and James
Monroe, raised sheep for the necessity of clothing and meat to provide food.
It is mv wish to do my small part in continuing the heritage left to us by these
fine gentlemen. I am just a small part of spinners and weavers across this
nation trying to carry on the legacy of a dying art form. If you ever have the
chance to try on a hand-woven garment, you will see the significance in the
craftsmanship as compared to a machine-made garment.

have personally contacted all owners of the property surrounding our farm,
explained what I wish to do and have received all favorable comments and pledges of
support. Property owners contacted are: Dr. Peter Lobo, Mr. Bart Shaw-Kennedy,
Mr.' William Gentry and Mr. drchibaM Craig. Additionally, 1 have contacted the
remaining neighbors on State Route 612 (Hammocks Gap Road) and have received
only favorable feedback.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district surrounding
the property? It will be in harmony with the rural character of the district by
staying agricultural and rural in appearance and intent. There will be no noise
pollution, no affect on any waterways or supplies, and no additional traffic other
than accepted normal usage.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose of intent of the Zoning Ordinance?
The use is in harmony by preserving the rural and agricultural integrity of the area.
There will be limited service delivery. Appearance of studio is compatible with
residence. Landscaping will be provided to match the natural landscape of the farm
and residence. Adequate graveled parking is provided as shown on attached plat and
there is adequate visibility from State Route 612 through driveway to residence and
studio.
How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district? The
use is in harmony and an extens ion of sheep farming "by right" in that it provides a
complete picture of the dynamics of sheep farming, processing the fiber through to
completed product in a "hands on" manner.
What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance
apply to this use? Mainly, that the purpose, appearance and intent remain rural and
agricultural as stated in Section 5. 2.
How will this use promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the
community? This use meets the intent of the agricultural activity and doesn't create
any conflicts. It is a very small endeavor and has no large impact on the community
and will contribute to the economic growth of the county.

SP-98-70 Starbase Alpha Dance Hall Permit, Route 1452
This location currently is served by a commercial entrance that meets our
standards. There is one concern that needs to be addressed and that is the
large trucks/tractors that are parked parallel to the curb. This parking in
effect blocks proper sight distance requirements.
We could place "No Parking" signs, however this then infringes on those-
motorists who could park an automobile without any problem. We may be able to
address this with a special sign, but it becomes a matter of enforcement.
Our question is, 'Does the County have in place an ordinance that restricts
trucks from parallel parking in thais type of neighborhood'~
SP-98-71 Stony Mountain Fibersr Route 612
Route 612 is listed as a non-tolerable road. The gravel surface varies from
12-14 feeu in width and a 1992 traffic count shows 187 vehicles daily. The
intersection of Route 20/610/612 is not an optimum intersection for sight
distance and has been recommended for inclusion into our Primary Six-Year Plan
and au this time has not been included.
The proposal of use probably will not create significant numbers, however
will add to the non-tolerable concerns of this road, as addressed above.

APRIL 14, 1999
SP 98-73 Good 'Shepherd Episcopal Church
Applicant's Proposal: Good Shepherd Episcopal Church is planning an expansion to provide a
Rector's study to the rear of the existing church building. The building addition would be a 16
foot by 16 foot addition as shown on Attachment A. No other changes to the site are proposed.
The special use permit is required because there is no existing special use permit for the church
and the building addition constitutes the expansion of a nonconforming use. The special use
permit request is for the existing use and the building addition. No site plan or site plan waiver
request is required or is made with this project. The sketch plan, though, indicates the general
location of existing and proposed improvements.
Petition: The petition is for approval of a special use permit, in accordance with Section
10.2.2.35 of the Zoning Ordinance, to allow a church use in the rural areas. This petition is
requested for parcels described as Tax Map 75, Parcels 36, 36A, 36B, and 37. The property is
located in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District on Route 29 South, approximately 1.5 miles
south of the 1-64 Interchange. (See Attachments B & C.) The property is zoned RA residential
zoning district and is recommended as Rural Areas on the Land Use Plan. It is also located in an
Entrance Corridor with EC zoning.
Character of the Area: The area surrounding the church is hilly and wooded. A residence is
adjacent to the cemetery north of the property. Surrounding the property and across Route 29
South there are a few residences and agricultural/wooded open space.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the proposal for conformity with the
Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval of the special use
permit with conditions.
Planning and Zoning History: The church building was constructed in 1905; however, the use
is nonconforming because it has no special use permit. No subdivision or zoning history exists for
the properties.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as rural. The property has been
surveyed by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources but has not been evaluated for
nomination to the state or National Register (Attachment D). The only alteration proposed for
this historic resource is the small addition described above. Churches in rural areas are viewed as
supportive of the moral fiber of the rural community.
Eneineerin~ Analysis: The County's Engineering staffhas reviewed this request for engineering
issues related to health, safety, and welfare requirements. No modifications are recommended by
Engineering other than a stairway or path from the lower parking lot to the church and restricting
the upper parking lot as handicap accessible, should the congregation expand. At present, there
are less than 15 persons in attendance on any given Sunday. A set of landscape timber stairs is in
place at the rear of the church leading to the rectory. The Engineering Department's
recommendation is provided in Attachment E.
Zonine Considerations: The tax parcel map indicates that there are four parcels owned by the
church and used for religious activity. In actuality, there are only three parcels: the fourth parcel
was established by the Real Estate Department for taxing purposes when it was income
producing. It is no longer used as rental property and Real Estate will be removing the second
number from the maps.
For the three parcels, one contains the church and rectory and the other tWo contain portions of
the cemetery. The parcels were deeded separately to the church prior to 1956 and there is no
survey of record for the cemetery parcels separate from the church parcel. Because there are no
current records of interior lot lines, Zoning can't tell if the building addition will cause a side yard
setback problem. The church has several options available to it to clarify and, if necessary, rectify
the problem. The easiest solution might be to combine the parcels into a single parcel to eliminate
the interior lot lines. In any case, the Setback issue will need to be resolved prior to the issuance
of a building permit for the expansion.
The property also is located in an Entrance Corridor. The addition to the church will extend
approximately 16 feet from the rear of the existing building, not exceed the height of the existing
building, and use the same materials as the existing addition. The Design Planner has reviewed
the request and her comments are provided in Attachment F. The addition will not be visible from
the Entrance Corridor and, as a result, there will be no required Architectural Review Board
review.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staffwill address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance below:
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits
permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued
upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property,
There has been ongoing congregational activity at this location for most of this century. The
building addition will expand the area of the building by less than 300 square feet. No other
changes are proposed and there is not expected to be any effect on adjacent properties.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby,
The rural areas district is characterized by open space, agricultural uses and very low density
residential uses. The church addition is not expected to change the character of the district.
addition will not be visible from the right-of-way.
The
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
The RA zoning district was created to establish a zone that provides for preservation of
agricultural and forestal lands and activities; provide for water supply protection; be an area of
limited service delivery; and to conserve natural, scenic, and historic resources. The church is
viewed as a use supportive of rural Albemarle County residents.
with the uses permitted by right in the district,
By-right uses in the RA district are single family and duplex housing, agricultural uses, public
buildings and uses; veterinary services; tourist lodging; mobile homes; and farm wineries. The
proposed use is viewed as being in harmony with these uses.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance,
There are no additional regulations relating to churches.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
The public health, safety, and general welfare of the community is protected through the special
use permit process.which assures that uses approved by special use permit are appropriate in the
location requested.
The Engineering staff has not identified any needed modifications for public health, safety, and the
general welfare. They have suggested that a stairway or other type of walkway be provided to
ease pedestrian access from the lower parking area to the church entrance if the congregation
grows and more use of the lower parking area is required. It is not viewed as necessary at present
because the congregational activity is so low.
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to this request:
The Land Use Plan suggests that churches are supportive to the rural areas in the County.
No detrimental impact is anticipated as a result of this building addition.
The church has been at this location for almost 100 years and has been surveyed as a
historic resource in the County. No negative impact is expected to this historic resource.
Expansions of church facilities often ensure a continuing presence of a congregation.
3
Staff has identified no factors which are unfavorable to this request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of this special use permit with the following conditions:
Church development shall be limited to the improvements shown on the sketch plan dated
February 6 1999 and incidental improvements such as storage sheds, picnic tables,
children's play equipment, and walkways between the buildings and parking areas.
Day care use shall be prohibited unless approved through a special use permit amendment.
Conformity with setback requirements shall be established prior to issuance of a building
permit.
A stairway or walkway from the lower parking lot to the church shall be provided when
parking needs regularly exceed parking provided by the upper lot.

The special use permit received 8 March 1999 has been reviewed. All previous comments have
been addressed. Therefore Albemarle County Engineering recommends approval of the special
use permit.
As I indicated in a previous correspondence, the site has two separate parking areas. The areas
are at different elevations, with the current congregation parking in the upper lot. In the event the
congregation increases greatly, Engineering recommends the upper lot be designated for
handicapped parking and an acceptable means of access (i.e. stairs with a hand railing) be
provide from the lower lot to the church.

Good Shepherd Episcopal Church- Office Addition
March 8, 1999
I have reviewed the sketch plan and elevation submitted for this project, and I have
visited the site. Because it appears that the proposed addition will not be visible from the
Entrance Corridor (U.S. Route 29), Architectural Review Board review will not be
required for this project. The proposed addition is small in comparison to the existing
church, it will be placed at the rear of the building, and will be set back from the sides of
the existing building. In addition, the overall height of the addition will be less than that
of the existing church. These factors, combined with the elevation of the site, should
screen the addition from the EC.
I would like to point out that the proposed material - concrete block - is not the best
choice for an addition to this church. Concrete tinted the sand color of the stone walls
would be more compatible. However, due to the lack of visibility of the addition from
the Entrance Corridor, I do not recommend any change in materials. I simply suggest
that the applicants be aware of the possibility of increasing the compatibility of both the
proposed and existing additions as future improvements are considered.

ZTA-98-09 UNIVERSITY REAL ESTATE FOUNDATION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing textual language which would authoriZe the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors to modify, vary or waive certain regulations
during rezoning consideration of a Planned Development- Industrial Park.
Petition: The University Real Estate Foundation petitions the Board of Supervisors to amend
the text of Section 29.0 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-INDUSTRIAL PARK (PD-IP) of the
Zoning Ordinance as follows (Proposed wording underlined):
29.5 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
In addition to requirements contained herein, the requirements of sections 8.0 and 26.0
shall apply to all PD-~ districts, except as hereinafter express!y provide.O Any
requirements.of sections 26.0 and 29.0 shall b.e. subject to modificilt!on, variation' or waiver
as provided in.section 8.0: planned development districts, generally, Fo.r such areas as
may be located on the perimeter ofa PD-IP district; the commission shall be particularly
mindful of the intent to protect the character of adjoining development In addition to
materials required by section 8 5.1, a transportation analysis plan shall be submitted with
the application for PD-IP district designation. Such plan shall show: projected
automobile and truck traffic generation; percent of truck traffic by type; internal and
external access point turning movement; general alignments of internal roads; rights-of-
way widths and roadway typical sections including base strength designs; proposed
improvements to the existing transportation network; percentage estimate of traffic
distribution to and from the site on external roads; buss and car pool programs, if any.
The phasing of improvements enumerated in this section shall be included on the plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff opinion is that the currem provisions of the Planned Development- Industrial District do not
offer the flexibility to an applicant to pursue nor the discretion to the County to encourage
innovative design as called for by section 8.0 which are the general provisions applicable to all
planned developments. Other planned development districts offer greater flexibility and
discretion. Staff recommends adoption of the applicant's amendment with language as proposed
by the applicant.
Applicant's Justification: The applicant has stated that:
This amendment to the zoning text would permit greater flexibility on the
part of the County in review and approval of modification to approved
PD-IP's. This amendment would also provide consistency between
PD-IP zoning text and other similar language in related sections of the
ordinance, i.e.- 20.11.2.
STAFF COMMENT:
The PD-IP zoning text was developed in the late 1970's and adopted into the prior zoning ordinance.
At about the same time, the new draft ordinance was delivered by consultants and staff was
immediately directed to rewrite the draft. The PD-[P text was carried over to the new ordinance and
remained "unused" until the UREF rezonmg in 1995. Subsequent to approval of the rezoning
petition, staff met with the applicant to discuss internal design visions for the park. At that time, it
became apparent that discrepancy existed between the PD-IP district and other planned development
districts regarding Conunission/Board authority to modify, vary or waive provisions. Other planned
development districts contain language much more liberal toward flexible design by providing more
discretion to the Commission and Board to allow innovative design which may not be achievable by
strict adherence to general or planned development provisions
Section 8.1 establishes the general intent of planned development districts and states in part that:
Planned development districts are intended to provide for variety and
flexibility in design necessary to implement the varied goals and objectives
of the county as set fourth in the comprehensive plan. Through a planned
development approach, these regulations are intended to accomplish the
purposes of zoning and other applicable regulations to the same extent as
regulations of conventional districts.
To effectuate these statements, Section 8.5.4 provides that the Commission to report its findings to
the Board of Supervisors to include:
Specific modifications in PD or general regulations as applied to the
particular case, based on determination that such modifications are
necessary or justified by demonstration that the public purposes of PD
or general regulations as applied would be satisfied to at least an equivalent
degree by such regulations.
The current language of the PD, IP does not offer flexibility to the Commission and Board as outlined
in the general intent for planned developments. Language as proposed by the applicant is virtually
identical to language applicable to industrial areas within 20.0 Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Staff opinion is that this discrepancy is editorial in nature and that provisions of the PD-IP should
correspond to the provisions of the more recent PUD district. Staff recommends approval of the
applicant's proposed text with language as submitted.

ZMA-98-027 UNIVERSITY REAL ESTATE FOUNDATION
Applicant's Proposal: This is an amendment to ZMA-95-04 UNIVERSITY REAL ESTATE
FOUNDATION which rezoned 525 acres to allow establishment of the North Fork Business
Park. UREF proposes a reduction in building setback along internal public roads from fifty (50)
feet to ten (10) feet. The reduced setback is requested to accommodate "the desired urban
character of the park" (Attachment C). No reduction from established building setbacks around
the perimeter of the development is requested.
Petition: The University Real Estate Foundation petitions the Board of Supervisors to allow a
reduction of building setback from fifty (50) feet to ten (10) feet from internal public road rights-
of-way. Property, described as Tax Map 32, Parcels 4B, 6, 6A, 19, and 19C, is located south of
the North Fork Rivanna River between Route 29N and Rte. 606 in the Rivanna Magisterial
District. This site is recommended for Industrial Service in the Community of Hollymea&
Relation to Surrounding Area: Effort was made to integrate the North Fork Park into the
context of surrounding commercial, industrial, residential and rural properties. In particular,
UREF made several changes in response to residents along Rte. 606 (Attachment D). Access to
existing public roads is limited to three locations: U.S. Rte 29 N, Airport Road and Rte. 606 by
way of Quail Run Drive.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff opinion is that the requested variation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does
not represent significant concern related to the general health, safety and welfare. Staff would
recommend that the Planning Commission as provided by section 8.5.4.d. of the general planned
development regulations recommend that the Board vary the Setback requirement from internal
public roads to allow building location to be no closer than ten (10) feet from the rights-of way of
public roads.
Planning and Zoning History: Under ZMA-95-04 approximately 525 acres were rezoned from
RA, Rural Areas, PD-IP, Planned Development Industrial Park, and LI, Light Industrial to PD-
IP, Planned Development Industrial Park. That request also included the following special use
permits: SP~95-40 - Laboratories, medical or pharmaceutical (27.2.2.1; 29.2.2.1); SP-95-41
Supporting commercial uses (27.2.2.14, 29.2.2.1); SP-95-42 - Hotels, motels, inns (29.2.2.2).
The proffered zoning Application Plan proposed a maximum gross floor area of 3,000,000
square feet of building area accommodated on 20 sites. These sites, ranging in area from 5.65
acres to 35.19 acres, may be developed with multiple buildings. Sites A, B-l, and B-4 situated
along Rte. 606 would be restricted to general office developmem while all other sites would have
two to six categories of use available. Numerous written proffers accompanied the rezoning
petition (Attachment E).

hotel/motel.
2 Proffer 6.2 provides that open space (other than may be required on development sites)
shall not be less than 200 acres.
Comprehensive Plan: This site is situated in the Hollymead Community of the Comprehensive
Plan. Other comments regarding the Comprehensive Plan in relation to this proposal are
included under STAFF COMMENT.
STAFF COMMENT:
This petition is accompanied by and dependent upon a zoning text amendment (ZTA-98-09)
intended to allow greater flexibility in design concepts for the PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-
INDUSTRIAL PARK PD-IP zoning district. The analysis provided in this report assumes
adoption of ZTA-98-09. Also, staff analysis is intended to reflect only the circumstances of the
petition under review and is not intended to reflect nor anticipate any recommendations which
may be forthcoming from the ad-hoc Development Incentives Steering Committee (Both the
zoning text amendment and this rezoning petition were discussed with DISC at its February 16,
1999 meeting and no objection was raised to either petition).
The remainder of this report will discuss setbacks in general, provide a history of setbacks in
Albemarle County, relate the request to the current Comprehensive Plan and finally focus on the
context of the North Fork Park.
Building Setback: Generally: Regarding the zoning police power, setback (including other
yard regulations) have been viewed as clearly having bases in such matters as:
---provision of light and air as well as protection against obstruction of light and air;
---provision of adequate fire protection as well as protection against loss of life, health or
safety from fire dangers; and
---to provide for adequate flood protection as well as protect against loss of life, health or
property from flood dangers.
Setbacks may also be argued to protect against overcrowding of land, danger and congestion in
travel and transportation and other express purposes of zoning. Setbacks may vary from zoning
district to zoning district dependent on the varying purposes.
Setbacks: Albemarle County: Regarding setbacks from public roads, County regulations vary
in relation to the stated purposes of the various zoning districts (which are intended to be
reflective of the Comprehensive Plan) as well as circumstances within an individual district. In
addition, the County provides for private roads intended to effectuate Comprehensive Plan
recommendations and setbacks from private roads are in all cases less restrictive than setbacks
from public roads (One exception is the RA zone which allows a reduced setback for new
internal public roads).
For non-residential zoning districts, setbacks from public roads were established based upon the
purposes of the various zoning districts and the intensity of uses allowed within the districts. For
commercial districts, setbacks were established at thirty (30) feet in recognition that retail and
other commercial establishments, though varying in intensity of uses, require certain visual
3
exposure from public roads. For industrial districts, setbacks from public roads were established
at fifty (50) feet in recognition that industrial uses do' not require public road exposure to the
degree of commercial uses.
For the Rural Areas and lower density residential districts, building height is limited to thirty-five
(35) feet. Higher density residential districts as well as commercial and industrial districts permit
a sixty-five (65) foot height, however, building setback from rural, single-family residential areas
and public roads is increased by two (2) feet for each one (I) foot of height above thirty-five (35)
feet. Among reasons for such increased setback are consideration of"daylighting" the road
pavement in winter months to reduce snow removal costs as well as aesthetic concern of massive
buildings overwhelming the traveler's experience.
Setbacks for individual uses (regardless of zoning district) were established in supplementary
regulations or overlay districts based upon objectionable aspects of the use and the unlikelihood
that such use could comply with performance standards or other requirements at a lesser setback
(Note: Supplementary regulations may be relaxed in a particular case under specified criteria
including demonstration that the purpose of the restriction may be otherwise satisfied).
Of particular note is that the original text of the 1980 Zoning Ordinance contained provision that
allowed the Planning Commission to reduce building setback within the C- 1 Commercial zoning
district in recognition of historic development patterns. The C-1 district was proposed by the
Planning Commission to provide for central-business district style of development in the Urban
Area, Communities, and Villages. The Planning Commission also recommended that C-1 zoning
be applied to the then forty or so active country stores. Staff prepared a text intended to
recognize the historic development patterns that existed in Crozet, Scottsville and for the country
stores and made allowance for continuation of those patterns. This provision (as well as most
maximum coverage regulations) was repealed in 1985 at time of adoption of the landscaping
provisions of the site plan ordinance.
Finally, for commercial and industrial uses, setbacks are required from public roads only. No
specific setback is required from private roads, however, consideration to utility locations and
maintenance of sight distance are factors. This is to encourage innovation in design and
particularly to encourage clustering of uses withoUt penalty of land lost to setback requirements
(i.e.- Fashion Square Mall consists of six parcels served by an internal private road system).
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan encourages design to increase pedestrian
access and reduce vehicular usage, which is reflected in the design concept. More specifically,
the Comprehensive Plan General Land Use Standards recommend that "to the extent reasonable
and feasible given site constraints, site development should encourage building orientation to
public streets. Parking areas need not be located exclusively in front of buildings."
North Fork Park: Setback Reduction From Internal Public Roads: During its design
visioning process, UREF has developed a developmental concept which requires reduced setback
4
from the internal public roadways. More specifically in regard to the public need or benefit, the
applicant has stated that (Attachment C):
A request is made to reduce building setback along public rights-of-way
from fifty to ten feet. This reduction in setback will help to improve the
urban character of the park, support the design vision for the park by more
clearly defining the public realm, and provide a more inviting and pedestrian
accessible arrangement of buildings for both visitors and park tenants.
Some residents along Rte. 606 have expressed concern that reducing building setback from
internal roadways would result in parking areas located closer to the perimeter of the
development. Staff would emphasize that no reduction in the 150 foot buffer from Rte. 606 is
proposed (The regulatory setback for office buildings is normally 50 feet and parking setback is
normally 30 feet from public roads).
staff opinion is that the requested variation is consistent with recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan. The proffered setback from Rte. 606 is a five-fold parking setback and a
three-fold building setback from basic zoning regulations. Staff opinion is that the only
identifiable issue may be increased public costs for snow removal, which staff does not believe
would be significant. Provided that no interference occurs with required sight distance along
the roadways and that the reduced setback does not interfere with utility location (which can be
addressed with individual site plans), staff would recommend that the Planning Commission as
provided by section 8.5.4.d. recommend approval of the applicants requested setback variation to
the Board of Supervisors. In accord with section 8.5.5, should the Board approve this request, a
revised Application Plan depicting the setback variation must be submitted within sixty days of
Board approval.

1. What public need or benefit does this rezoning serve?
A request is made to reduce building setback along public rights-of-way from fifty feet to ten feet, This
reduction in setback will help to improve the urban character of the park, support the design vision for
the park by more clearly defining the public realm, and provide a more ~nviting and pedestrian accessible
arrangement of buildings for both visitors and park tenants.
2. Are public water, sewer, and roads available to serve this site? Will there be any impact
on these facilities?
A reduction of the building Setback requirements will have no impact on public utilities
3. What impact will there be on the County's natural, scenic, and historic resources.~
A reduction of the building setback requirements wilt have no impact on the County's natural, scenic,
and historic resources. But would allow for the buikting arrangement to be more compatible with the
architectural legacy of Albemarle Count's' and the region.
4. Do you have any plans to develop the property if the rezoning is approved.~ If so, please
describe:
Development will be in accord with approved application plan with the exception of the reduced setback.
5. Describe your request in detail, including why you are requesting this particular zoning
district.
No change m zoning district is desired. A request is made to reduce building setback along public rights-
of-way from fifty feet to ten feet. The opportunity to reduce building setback was not available to the
applicant at the time of initial planned development approval. A zoning text amendment has been
submitted which now enables the Board of Supervisors to consider reduced building setbacks appropriate
to the desired urban character of the park.
ATTACHMENT D
During public hearings on the Comprehensive Plan Amendments which preceded the rezoning
petition, residents in the Rte. 606 area expressed many concerns about the proposed North Fork
Business Park. In January, 1995 staff received copy ora letter from Lake Acres to UREF which
proposed inclusion of agreements between Lake Acres and UREF as "specific provisions in the
final rezoning agreement between the County of Albemarle and the University's Foundation." The
original Lake Acres proposal contained 12 items.
In response to these concerns:
UREF modified the Application Plan to show a 150 foot setback buffer along its entire
frontage on Rte. 606.
Sites A, B-l, and B-4 are limited to general office uses. Site B-7 is limited to general
office and flex/industrial uses, while Sites B-8 and F-lA are approved for general office,
flex/industrial, industrial, and laboratory uses.
Regarding stormwater and erosion concerns, in addition to applicable County regulation,
UREF has developed a master stormwater management plan, proffered to be implemented
in phases.
UREF amended the proffers to include prohibition of stadium or field lighting of the
recreation area/playing fields in the open space area between sites B4 and B-7 (Staff
recommends that this not be deemed to be a prohibition to appropriate security and street
lighting).
VDOT has agreed to staff recommendation that bridge weight limitation signage be placed
at the Quail Run/Rte. 606 intersection. While this would not prohibit truck traffic on Rte.
606 north of Quail Run, it would be a forewarning to responsible truck drivers.
VDOT has agreed to delete recommendation that a dedicated right turn lane be
constructed from Quail Run onto Rte. 606. Such a feature could entreat general traffic to
travel north on Rte. 606

any special use permit for wilful noncompliance as set forth in
Section 31.2.4.4 of th'e Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
The terms General Office, Light Industrial and F/ex Industrial as set
forth in UREF, Volume 1, Part IX of the zoning application shall,
in addition to Zoning Ordinance definitions, guide the Zoning
Administrator in use determinations. In the event of definitional
conflict between the Zoning Ordinance and UREF descriptions,
UREF descriptions shall apply. In such case in which more that
fifty (50%) percent of the floor area for a Flex Industrial use is
developed to office use, the entire floor area shall be deemed to be
General Office. In such case in which less than fifty (50%) percent
of the floor area for a F/ex Industrial use is devoted to office use, the
Page 2 of 3
entire floor area shall be deemed to be Light Industrial. This
provision shall apply only for determination of maximum square
footage by type of use. This provision shall not apply to calculation
of parking requirements or other requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance, nor to any requirements of the Uniform Statewide
Building Code nor to any other ordinance or regulation related to
'[ype of usage of buildings and structures.
I, Ella W. Carey, do hereby certify that the foregoing writing is a true,
correct copy of a Resolution duly adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle
County by vote of 4 to 2 on June 5, 1996.

5.4 Proffered Road Improvements. Applicant shall design, construct and/or contribute for
road improvements in phases. Road improvement proffers in this section 5.4 shall not include
dedication of land unless expressly provided for herein. All construction by Applicant of offsite road
improvements shall be conditioned upon the County or VDOT obtaining required right-of-way, (if
such right-of-way is not owned in fee simple by Applicant), unless expressly provided herein. So long
as Applicant is ready, willing and able to construct an improvement as provided in these proffers,
even though the necessary right-of-way is not available, (and in the instances in which Applicant has
proffered to acquire right-of-way, and the Applicant has made good faith efforts to acquire the land
necessary for such right-of-way) Applicant shall not be precluded from developing the approved
density build-out under the applicable zoning, unless the improvement is otherwise required by
applicable regulations or ordinances. Unless an earlier time is required below, the road improvements
described in this Section 5.4 for each applicable phase shall be completed or bonded, or contributed

(a)
Applicant shall satisfy the following Phase I road proffers before the Maximum
Total Build-out, Phase I (as shown in 5.3 above) is constructed or earlier if (i)
specified in this 5.4 (a), or (ii) a need is created by such development and is
demonstrated by a traffic study approved by VDOT. In general, the proffered
Phase I road improvements shall be as described on Exhibit 5.3 attached hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Applicant shall be permitted to construct beyond the
Total Maximum Build-out, Phase I in advance of satisfying all Phase I road
proffers, if a traffic study approved by VDOT demonstrates that the following
intersections will function, with the proposed additional building construction, at a
Level of Service "D" (LOS D) or better: (i) Route 649 and Road A, (ii) Route 606
and Quail Run, (iii) Route 606 and Route 649, and (iv) Road A and U.S. 29.
Applicant shall design and construct a northbound turn lane from Route 606

acquisition costs, if Applicant is unable to acquire) right of way for, design
and construct two northbound left turn lanes on U.S. 29 at the intersection
of Road A (North Fork Entrance) and U.S. 29. Applicant shall acquire (or
reimburse the acquiring governmental entity for acquisition costs, if
Applicant is unable to acquire) right of way for, design and construct a
channelized southbound right turn lane on U.S. 29. The Road A exit shall

and two eastbound right turn lanes. The entrance at Road A also shall
include dedication, design and construction of two westbound through lanes.
(4)
Applicant shall install, or pay for the installation of all traffic signals
necessary for appropriate traffic control at the improved intersection at U.S.
29 and Road A no later than completion of the two northbound left turn
lanes on U.S. 29 (referenced in proffer 5.4(a)(2) above). If an additional
road is added to such intersection to satisfy needs of other development in
the County however, Applicant's signalization requirement shall not include
improvements serving such additional road.
Provided that all construction of the turn lanes is completed within 10 year.
from the date of final approval of this Application, Applicant shall
contribute upon completion of two left turn lanes at the intersection of U.S.
29 and Route 649, the total sum of $78,718.00 (Applicant's
"Contribution"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicant's
Contribution may be used, at the County's discretion, to fund prior to
completion of the project, a portion of the design and engineering costs in
order to expedite the widening of Route 649 from two lanes to four lanes so
long as Applicant is afforded the opportunity to participate in such design
and engineering process. In the event that the Contribution, after it is
received by the County, is not used, within 10 years either for construction
of the turn lanes, or for the design and engineering costs for Route 649
widening, then the Contribution shall be returned to the Applicant, without
interest.
Applicant shall satisfy the following Phase II road proffers before the Maximum
Total Build-out, Phase II is Constructed (but not before the Maximum Total Build-
out, Phase I is constructed) (as set forth in 5.3 above) or earlier if (i) specified in
this 5.4 (b), or (ii) a need is created by such development and is demonstrated by a
traffic study approved by VDOT (provided however that if the site development
plan review process does not otherwise require Applicant to supply a traffic study,
Applicant will provide at least a traffic count upon the County's request for
evidence that such need has not been created):
(1)
Applicant shall design, dedicate, and construct within the Project a two lane
collector road extending from U.S. 29 to Route 649 through the North Fork
Project within six months of the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy
8
(c)
for a building constructed after construction of the Maximum Total Build-
out, Phase I (980,000 gross floor area). Applicant shall dedicate and widen
to four lanes the two lane collector road extending from U.S. 29 to 649
when traffic volumes within the Project create the need for such widening.
(2) Applicant shall design, dedicate and construct at the Route 649 entrance:
"two southbound left turn lanes on Road A, one southbound right turn lane
on Road ~A, and two northbound through lanes on Road A.
(3) Applicant shall construct at the intersection at Road A and Route 649: one
westbound right turn lane on Route 649, and one eastbound left turn lane on
Route 649.
(4)
Applicant shall design and install all traffic signals necessary for appropriate
traffic control at the intersection of Route 649 and Road A as improved in
satisfying these Phase II road proffers, but no later than when a need is
created by the Project.
Construction of improvements may proceed up to the Maximum Total Build-out,
Phase III described in 5.3 above if any one of the following conditions shall have
been satisfied (but such conditions shall not be conditions for constructing the
Maximum Total Build-out for Phases I and II):
(1)
Applicant shall design and construct (within existing right of way) the
addition of a third southbound through lane on U.S. 29 from the entrance to
North Fork at Road A to Route 649. In the alternative, if VDOT requires,
and at the County's direction, Applicant shall contribute an amount equal to
the design and construction costs which would otherwise be contributed by
Applicant for an additional southbound through lane on U.S. 29 for the
purpose of constructing of a grade separated interchange at the intersection
of Route 29 and the entrance to North Fork. Nothing contained herein
however shall be deemed to be a proffer by Applicant to construct such a
grade separated interchange.
(2)
Before the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for improvements in
excess of the Total Maximum Build-out, Phase II, VDOT shall have
approved funding for the design and construction of the widening of U.S. 29
to six through lanes between the entrance to North Fork at Road A to Route
649.
(3)
Construction may nevertheless continue in excess of the Total Maximum
Build-out, Phase II (but in no event beyond the limitation contained in 3.1)
without all the road improvements having been completed as contemplated
in (1) and (2) above so long as Applicant can demonstrate to VDOT through
traffic studies approved by VDOT that acceptable levels of service (LOS
"D", or better for U.S. 29 and Route 649 intersection) can be maintainea
with existing, or alternative improvements.
(d)
Applicant shall dedicate within its Project, an area necessary for construction of a
grade separated interchange. The approximate location shall be as designated on
Exhibit 5.3 as "Future Right of Way Area for Grade Separated Interchange."
Applicant shall dedicate such area without consideration, and when the interchange
is to be constructed. It is Applicant's desire to participate in the design for such
interchange so that Applicant may preserve the aesthetic features of the Project's
entrance. .- -
VI. RECREATIONAL AREAS AND OPEN SPACE
6.1 Developed Recreational Areas. Applicant shall develop active recreation and picnic areas
as shown on the attached Open Space System Phasing Plan (Exhibit 6.1). Phasing of the Open Space
System improvements shall follOw the phasing schedule of proffered road improvements as set forth in

be completed before construction of the Maximum Total Build-out, Phase I, as set forth in 5.3. Such
recreation areas, unless conveyed to the County, shall be maintained by the Applicant or an
appropriate Organization for use by users within the Project. Applicant shall convey to the County,
without consideration, the ball fields depicted on Exhibit 6.1. Active recreation areas will not be
lighted with field or stadium lighting.
6.2 Open Space. Applicant shall restrict development of areas not shown as development
parcels on the Open Space System Phasing Plan, subject to boundary adjustment once boundaries are
established by plat (and the boundaries later shown on plats may be adjusted from those depicted on

(defined in 6.3 below), Buffer areas (defined in 7.2 below), and recreation areas described in these
Proffers be less than a total of 200 acres. These areas shall be for the use and enjoyment of the
residents of the Project, subject to the restrictions imposed by the Declaration. Applicant may
dedicate such undeveloped areas to the North Fork Owners Association or to an appropriate
Organization. No structural improvements other than utilities, pedestrian and riding trails, and
Common Area amenities shall be constructed in these areas. Applicant does not intend by this proffer
to subject these areas to Section 4.7.3 of the Ordinance, if such areas are not currently governed by
such ordinance.
6.3 Rivanna Green Belt. Applicant shall reserve a 100 foot wide area along the boundary of
the Property and adjacent to the Rivanna River ("Green Belt"). No structural improvements (other
than pedestrian and riding trails, and utilities) shall be constructed, or erected within the Green Belt

REVIEWED B~
BACKGROUND:
On April 7, 1999, a public hearing was held on the Board Supervisors' proposed operating budget for FY 1999/00. The
proposed budget, which totaled $146.0 million, represented a $548,123 increase over the County Executive's
recommended budget.
Since that time, $285,847 in school revenues have been added to the proposed budget, for a total budget of
$146,325,348. The attached resolution to adopt this proposed budget must be approved at the April 14, 1999 meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The attached resolution (Attachment C) formally approves the proposed expenditures for FY '1999/00, which total
$146,325,348. This budget represents an increase of $285,847 over the $146.0 million budget discussed at the April 7th
public hearing. Attachment A summarizes these changes, as well as changes to the County Executive's recommended
budget made during work sessions.
Changes to the Board's Proposed Budget:
Changes to the Board of Supervisors' proposed operating budget total $285,847 and include the following:
General Fund. The adopted budget adds $11,196 in additional projected early retirement costs for General Government,
reflecting late early retirement requests. These additional expenditures were funded by an offsetting reduction in Board of
Supervisors' contingency reserves. Revised E~oard contingency reserves total $56,932, of which $50,000 has been set
aside for a potential CTS bus route to the Pantops area of the County, leaving $6,932 in available resources.
School Fund. The adopted budget also adds $163,637 in net revenues to the school operations budget presented at the
April 7`n public hearing. These additional funds consist of $178,167 in state revenues (reflecting adjustments by the
General Assembly to the Governor's proposed budget and additional funding for teachers) and $120,140 in federal
revenues for special education, and are net of the $150,000 in school carry-over added by the Board during budget work
sessions. (The School Board has requested that these additional carry-over funds be removed from the budget for FY
99/00, based on the School Board's planned use of current year energy/heating savings for CSA and school safety audit
work.) Additionally, $15,330 in additional transfer revenues from the County Health Fund have been added to the budget,
to offset a $24,000 increase in expenditures for health care consultant services. (The remainder of the health care
consultant costs were funded with School Board reserves.)
These additional state and federal revenues, when combined with revised School Board' contingency reserves of $50,237
and the $300,000 in additional General Fund transfer allocated to the schools during Board work sessions, provide the
schools with total available resources of $648,544, which may be used toward funding the $990,679 in unfunded School
Board initiatives.
Self-Sustaining Funds. Expenditure and revenue additions to the school self-sustaining funds total $122,210.
Summary of Changes to the Recommended Budget Made During Board Work Sessions:
As you may recall, changes to the County Executive's recommended budget made during budget work sessions totaled
$548,123 and included the following:
General Fund. Expenditure changes in the General Fund totaled $398,123 and reflected the net impact of $29,171 in
miscellaneous expenditure reductions, the use of $131,872 in budgeted Board reserves and $559,166 in funded additions
to the recommended budget. These additions included $300,000 in funding for the School Division (consisting of $200,000
in additional one-time transfer and $100,000 in additional recurring funds,) plus $259,166 for the following new initiatives: a
second traffic officer for the Community Policing Unit, an expanded Emergency Services Coordinator position at the ECC,
additional hunting control enforcement funds, an Engineering Office Associate, agency funding for SARA and the Music
Resource Center, and a $150,000 contribution to initiate funding for the Acquisition of Conservation Easements.
Funding for these additional expenditures was derived from the General Fund balance ($200,000 for the one-time school
transfer and $150,000 for the acquisition of conservation easements), $32,250 in additional federal revenues and local
fees for the second traffic officer, and $15,873 in miscellaneous revenue adjustments.
School Fund. The Board of Supervisors also added $150,000 in school fund carry-over to the schools operations budget
from current year energy/ hearing savings. (As previously mentioned, these additional carry-over funds have been
removed from the adopted budget at the School Board's request.)
Alternative Resolution - MACAA's Head Start Program
One issue remaining to be addressed from the Board work sessions is funding for MACAA's Head Start Program, for
which County funding of $7,211 has been requested. The attached report (Attachment B) provides supplemental
information about the program and summarizes the funding recommendations of staff. Should the Board of Supervisors
decide to fund this program, funding could be provided from a combination of Board contingency reserves ($6,932) and
additional General Fund carry-over ($279.) This funding strategy would leave only the $50,000 previously set aside for the
proposed Pantops bus route in the Board's contingency reserve.
The resolution to adopt an alternative County budget which includes funding for Head Start is presented as Attachment D.
RECOMMENDATION:
If the Board has no further additions or deletions to the proposed budget, staff requests approval of the resolution in
Attachment C. Should the Board of Supervisors elect to add funding for Head Start to the budget, staff requests approval
of the resolution in Attachment D.

ATTACHMENT B
SUMMARY- MACAA'S FY00 BUDGET REQUEST FOR HEADSTART
BACKGROUND:
In their FY00 budget application, MACAA requested $7,211 as Albemarle's share of a
Disabilities Coordinator for the Headstart program. The program was not recommended for
funding by the County/City Budget Review Team for several reasons. One reason was the
team's understanding that the provision of special education services to children over the age
of 2 is by federal and state law the responsibility of the respective school divisions. The
second reason was the team's hesitation to begin funding what has historically been a
federally funded pre-school program when both the city and county have their own state and
locally supported four-year old programs.
Ken Ackerman, MACAA's Executive Director appeared before the Board on March 22nd to
request funding for this position. The Board asked staff to provide additional information to
the Board at the April 14th meeting in order to make a final funding decision on their request.
DISCUSSION:
Further communication with MACAA and school division staff has clarified the request and,
more specifically, has shed additional light on the division of responsibilities between
MACAA's Disabilities Coordinator and the Albemarle County school division for providing
special services to preschooi children. There are currently 37 Aibemade County children
enrolled in Headstart, 14 of whom have been identified as having special education needs.
Staff received copies of the federal audit completed last May, which cited MACAA's
Headstart program as "substantially out of compliance in Early Childhood Development and
Disabilities Services areas". The report indicated that less than 4% of the children enrolled
were diagnosed as disabled and received services. Although MACAA provided a list of 22
children with disabilities, only three had IEP's completed and there was no documentation of
any follow-up services. Classroom staff had no knowledge of any special services needed
for these children and again there was no follow-up evaluation, in summary, the findings
stated that "there is no system or program wide effort in place to ensure the inclusion of
children with disabilities and their families. A complete disabilities system must be developed
beginning with screenings, thorough assessment and professiOnal evaluations, the
development and implementation of IEP's and transition into the school system." it also
included the following stipulation, "the grantee must designate a coordinator of services for
children with disabilities. This individual must be a part-time or full-time person".
As a result of this serious federal audit, MACAA hired a full-time Disabilities Coordinator in
November to provide the required services. The job description for this position describes the
responsibilities as assessing the need for special education services, working in collaboration
with other agencies, including the school division, working with the families, and working with
the classroom teachers to ensure that these services are provided on an ongoing basis. The
coordinator will be responsible for referring the identified children to the school division for
iEP's and the identified services, such as speech therapy, counseling, etc. Therefore, the
Disability Coordinator's role will be to provide the assessment, referral, coordination, and
follow-up for the special services, whereas the school division will be responsible for
evaluating the child through the IEP process, recommending specific services and then
providing those special services.
Shared responsibilities between MACAA and the school division will be beneficial to the
identified children and their families, if a truly collaborative process is followed. This
unfortunately does not seem to have been the case in the past. Although the audit clearly
identified areas of concern last summer, MACAA did not contact the school division to
discuss how they might work better together to provide needed services. The School
Division was not only unaware of any problems, but was not even aware that MACAA had a
new Disabilities Coordinator. if one of MACAA's justifications for this position is that the
schools cannot "respond in a timely and comprehensive manner" then they need to address
those problems with the school division, if it is to be a shared partnership, then discussion
and follow through must occur if services to Headstart children are to improve.
MACAA submitted a copy of the 1997 service agreement, which delineates the
responsibilities between Headstart and the school division. However, MACAA does not have
a 1998 agreement with the school division, although renegotiating the annual LEA agreement
with the School division is one of the stated responsibilities of the disabilities coordinator.
Therefore, at this time there is no clear or agreed upon definition of responsibilities between
Headstart and the school division.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since it is very clear from the federal audit that Albemarle County children enrolled in
Headstart may not be receiving the special education services they need due to inadequate
assessment and follow-up, staff recommends that the county fund its share of MACAA's
Disabilities Coordinator. it is in the County's best interest to see that these children receive
these needed services at an early age prior to entering the school system. However, in
conjunction with County funding, MACAA must be charged with the immediate discussion,
agreement and signing of an annual service agreement with the school division. Additionally,
the Head start Disabilities Coordinator must be accountable for monitoring and documenting
the services provided to Albemarle County children in the Headstart program, as well as
developing a comprehensive transitional program for Albemarle County children entering
kindergarten. Continuation of this funding should be contingent on the Disabilities
Coordinator's ability to improve special education services to Albemarle County children
enrolled in the Headstart program and to develop a true collaborative partnership with the
school division in delivering these services.

The School Board's requested budget of $90,406,380 includes $83,130,700 in regular School Fund operations and
$7,275,680 in self-sustaining fund operations, for an increase of $6.5 million (7.7%) over the current year. This requested
budget exceeds available revenues of $89,429,608 by $0.977 million.
The major components of the funded portion of the School Board's baseline operational request include: $1.7 million in
growth costs for the anticipated 224 new students and other improvements, including 15.2 new teachers for regular and spe-
cial education; $0.7 million in funding for the Standards of Accreditation, including 12.0 new teachers to equalize baseline
class sizes for all schools, in light of the differentiated staffing, seven period high school schedule and other instructional fac-
tors; and regular salary and benefit increases for teaching and classified staff. Expanded funding also is requested by the
School Board for the following unfunded needs:
· Three (3) Additional Mobile Classrooms
· Elementary Art, Music and Physical Education Staffing (3.0 FTE)
· English as a Second Language - Phase II
· Gifted Education- Phase II
· 2% Operational Increases for School and Department Budgets
· Orchestra- Phase I
· Secondary Alternative Education
· Staffing Committee Recommendations (Partial Funding for 4.0 FTE)
· Tuition Reimbursement Phase-In

The proposed adopted School Division budget of $90,165,455 is balanced with available revenues and reflects a $6.2
million (7.4%) increase over FY 98/99. This total includes $82,767,565 for School Fund operations and $7,397,890 in
self-sustaining fund operations.
The proposed adopted budget represents a $735,847 increase over the County Executive's recommendation, reflecting
the addition of $298,307 in new state and federal funding, $15,330 in additional County Health Fund transfer, and
$300,000 in additional General Fund transfer (of which $100,000 is recurring and $200,000 is one-time) which the Board
of Supervisors approved during work sessions to help address the School Board's requested $0.977 million shortfall.
Self-sustaining fund revenues and expenditures increased by $122,210.
