Fisher, Chairma~ Albemarle Cou~ty Board of Supervisors Albemarle County Office Building McIntire Eoacl Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 Dear Hr. Fisher: We are the attorneys for Frank Lane Hereford who has submitted a request for rezoning a parcel of 4.34 acres on the northeast side of Greenbrier Drive. The request is scheduled to be heard by the Board of Supervisors next Wednesday, February 20. The application of Mr. Hereford's contains a letter of proffer dated January 22, 1985. The letter of proffer deletes certain uses from those permitted under HC zoning. At the hearing of the application before the Planning Commission last night, February 14, a motion was passed to recommend denial of the request. During the hearing concern was expressed over the available uses by right which would be permitted even with the proffer. The proffer by Mr. Hereford was a bit unusual in that it proffered not to engage in certain uses rather than proffering to limit the use of the property to specific purposes. The concern of the Plannir.g Commission in understandable. The purpose of this letter is to offer a proffer for specific uses. Before listing those uses, I will try to explain what Mr. Hereford intends to do with the pr0perty if rezoned froM C1 to HC. Mr. Hereford believes that there is a substantial market for an office/warehouse complex for small businesses. He plans to build R structure which would allow businesses to lease an area, and to use a portion of the space for dealing with the public and the balance for storage, distribution and warehousing. Examples of the types of businesses might be computer sales and services, small appliances sales, electronic distributors, etc. The difficulty in determininq the exact proffer lies in the non- avai12bility of a particular category for the intended use under HC zoning. It seems that the closest might be Section 24.2.1(21) providing for light warehousing, but in ~y opinion, that would not alloy] for any sales. With that in mind, the following is a list which Mr. Hereford feels would cover the uses of his proposed complex. e . RICHMOND AND FISHBURNE Mr. Gerald E.

We hope that this new proffer will alleviate the concerns which have been expressed. For your information, the property to the immediate northwest was rezoned to HC recently nnd is being used by Flowers Baking Compa~y. Finally, Mr. Hereford has contacted all surrounding property owners or occupants and has confirmed that there is no objection to his proposed use of the property. I enclose copies of this letter with the request they be distributed to other members of the Board prior to Wednesday's hearing.
