The appeal is as follows: The applicant/owner has appealed the Zoning Administrator's determination that a proposed new gas line is a transmission line which requires a special use permit. Applicant contends that the new line is a gas facility for the distribution of local service and therefore does not require a special permit. The new line is proposed within an existing easement which runs six miles through many parcels and zoning districts from the existing facility on Rt. 601 near Buck Mountain, SE to the city, crossing Rt. 29 near Westfield Road. Owners Letter- City of Charlottesville Page Four April 12, 1999 Due to a deferral request by the applicant, this item will not be heard on April 20~h.

Sincerely, Elaine K Echols, AICP Senior Planner EKE/jcl Ce: t~a Carey Charlottesville Overlook Land Trust Montessori Community School Amelia McCulley Jack Kelsey STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: ELAINE K. ECHOLS, AICP APRIL 6, 1999 MAY 12, 1999 Revised April 7, 1999 SP 99-04 Montessori Community School Applicant's Proposal: The Montessori Community School wishes to expand at its facility located at 1538 Richmond Road [Route 250 East] in Pantops. At present there are 120 students in pre-K to sixth grade enrolled in the school. With the expansion, there would be two new grades and a student increase of 180. At buildout, the school would serve 300 students. The Montessori SchOol has been in operation at this location since the 1991. The property consists of 6.3 acres. It has an office, four classrooms, and play areas. The special use permit would allow for 9 additional modular classrooms, a multipurpose building, an office and 25 additional parking spaces. A site development plan is currently under review by the staff. As Route 250 East is an Entrance Corridor, Architectural Review Board approval is required for the expansion. Petition: The petition is for approval of a special use permit, in accordance with Section 23.2.2.9 of the Zoning Ordinance, to allow a private school in a CO Commercial Office district. This petition is requested for the parcels described as Tax Map 78 Parcels 12A and 12Al (See Attachments A and B). The property is located in the Rivanna Magisterial District and is recommended for Regional Service on the Land Use Plan. Applicant's Justification for the Request: The applicant has said, "Schools represent an important element necessary for the health of the community. The parents supporting this school atthis location are dedicated and committed. They are settled and comfortable on this site and would like to sec their school grow to retain a certain stability for thc children as they progress through the grades." Thc applicant has said that the use will be compatible with the residential uses to the north and east and the commercial uses to the south. Character of the Area: The Pantops area along Richmond Road is developing rapidly. The property in question is adjoined by property zoned for urban density to the north and east. These parcels are undeveloped. To the west, the property is zoned commercially with a house and the American Legion Hall. Across the street a major commercial development with a new Kroger and DMV building is planned. The lot on which the school operates is largely undeveloped. 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 Montessori School use was established on this site in the early 1980's with ZMA 82-03. A subsequent rezoning (ZMA 95-12 and special use permit (SP 95-22) allowed for an expansion in the early 1990's. The special use permit required a sewer connection when the enrollment exceeded 120 students and an additional building was constructed. The additional building was never constructed and enrollment has not exceeded 120 students. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Regional Service. Regional Service areas are provided as areas to accommodate regionally the needs of the residents. Uses such as commercial malls, medical centers, and corporate offices are considered appropriate to this classification. Urban Density Residential uses are allowed within this designation as a secondary use. Private schools can serve residential neighborhood or regional residential needs. Site Plan Requirements: A site plan has been submitted for this use which is under staff review. It would be approved if the special use permit is approved. Parking shown on the site plan meets zoning ordinance requirements; however, school-wide events will periodically exceed the parking capacity of the lots shown. The applicant anticipates using the shoulder of the travelways to accommodate excess vehicles. Phasing of the project is shown on the conceptual plan submitted with this special use permit application (Attachment C). The first phase to be developed involves construction of three new modular buildings and the entire parking lot expansion. Ultimate buildout is expected by the year 2015. Engineerin~ Analysis: The County's Engineering staff has reviewed this request for general engineering issues shown on the conceptual plan. They have indicated that the entrance to the site will need to be realigned with Rolkin Court, prior to completion of the first phase of the expansion. A traffic signal is already planned for this intersection with the construction of the new DMV building across Route 250. This entrance road will need to be available to serve the residential land to the east of the property. The Engineering Department will require that the improvements to the intersection be shown on the site plan. When the adjoining property is ready for development, the driveways on the Montessori property may need to be modified. This issue can be addressed in subsequent site plans. Utilities: The Montessori School is on public water and a septic system. Parcel 12Al was created as a "well lot" when the school was served by a private well. Connection to the public sewer was a requirement of the last special use permit; however, the school has not yet connected to the sewer. Plans for a connection are shown on the site development plan submitted with the application. STAFF COMMENT: Staff will 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, If approved, the Montessori Community School will be a large private school on a hill near a major thoroughfare in Albemarle County. It is not anticipated to be detrimental to adjacent properties. The Land Use Plan suggests that this area would be appropriate for higher intensity commercial type uses; however the proposed use provides a regional service to residents of Albemarle County. Any exterior lighting for the school will be required to meet the new lighting ordinance requirements. No formal playing fields, such as were recently approved for the Charlottesville Catholic School, are proposed. No substantial noise is expected to be generated by the school expansion. A retaining wall was formerly proposed next to the 20 foot undisturbed buffer. A 20 foot undisturbed buffer is required for commercial developments that adjoin residentially zoned land. The retaining wall has been removed from the site plan. Zoning has asked that a conservation plan be submitted to show how the buffer will be retained if any retaining wall/s proposed in the future. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby, At the present time, the property is mostly undeveloped and only a small portion is used for the school. The addition of the school will not change the appearance of the zoning district, nor will it change the appearance of the neighborhood. The property woUld look much different if commercial buildings were constructed. and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance, The CO Commercial Office zoning district was created to establish a zone that provides for administrative, business and professional offices and supporting accessory uses and facilities. It is intended to act as a transition between residential districts and other more intensive commercial and industrial districts. Private schools are allowed by special use in this district. The Montessori School appears to be an appropriate transitional use between the commercial areas closer to Charlottesville and the residentially zoned properties to the east. As such, it is viewed as being in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. with the uses permitted by right in the district, Uses permitted by-right in the CO Commercial Office zoning district include offices and institutions, churches, libraries, museums, and child care facilities. This private school is similar to many other institutional type uses and child care facilities. It is viewed to be in harmony with these uses and supportive of nearby residential development. The Architectural Review Board will ensure that the appearance of the improvements visible from Route 250 are in keeping with Entrance Corridor guidelines for improvements. Modular structures are proposed; however, the Architecture Review Board will need to review this request and approve any modular or other type of structure proposed for the Entrance Corridor. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance, There are no additional regulations in Section 5.0 relating to private schools. 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 proposed uses are appropriate in the location requested. The addition of a private school to the County's educational facilities is viewed as enhancing the general welfare of the community. Not only will the private school be supported by private rather than public funds, but educational opportunities for residents also will be expanded. Regarding transportation safety, the entrance will be aligned and signalized prior to the completion of Phase 1. Staff recommends that a path or sidewalk be constructed along that entrance to the intersection or from the school to the intersection if the entrance is to be changed further. This pathway or sidewalk will provide access to the intersection of Rolkin Court and Route 250. Sewer connection is recommended as a condition of final site plan approval. Sewer plans have been made and approved preliminarily by the Albemarle County Service Authority. SUMMARY: Staffhas identified the following factors which are favorable to this request: 2. 3. 4. The Land Use Plan suggests residential and residentially supportive uses in this area of the County. Entrance improvements, including a new traffic signal will be made prior to completion of the first phase of the project. As with churches and day care facilities, private schools are viewed as enhancing the moral fiber of the community. Private schools reduce pressure on the County for additional public schools. The Architectural Review Board will ensure conformity with Entrance Corridor guidelines. Staff has identified the following factors which are unfavorable to this request: 1. Staff has found no factors that are unfavorable to this request. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends approval of this special use permit with the following conditions: 3. 4. 5. o The site plan shall conform generally to the conceptual plan, dated, March 8, 1999. Relationships of buildings and parking areas to adjoining properties shall be as shown on the conceptual plan. Enrollment will be limited to not more than 300 students. Pedestrian access will be provided from the front of the school to the intersection with Route 250 and Rolkin Court. Sewer connection shall be made prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the first additional classroom. A conservation plan will be provided with the preliminary site plan to show how the undisturbed buffer between the residentially zoned properties and the school will be retained/f required by construction of a retaining wall. Approval of the conceptual plan does not constitute approval of the design or appearance of modular structures. Any buildings constructed in the Entrance Corridor must meet requirements of the Architectural Review Board.

Sincerely, Senior Planner MJS/jcf Cc: Ella Carey STAFF PERSON: ADVISORY COMMITTEE: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: Mary Joy Scala March 15, 1999 April 6, 1999 May 12, 1999 ADDITION TO CARTER'~S BRIDGE, ADDITION TO MOORMAN'S RIVER, AND ADDITION TO YELLOW MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURAL/FORESTAL DISTRICTS .Purpose: The purpose of an agricultural/forestal district is "to conserve and protect and to encourage the development and improvement of the Commonwealth's agricultural/forestal lands for the production of food and other agricultural and forestal products..." and "to conserve and protect agricultural and forestal lands as valued natural and ecological resources which provide essential open space for clean air sheds, watershed protection, wildlife habitat, as well as for aesthetic purposes." Factors to Consider: The following factors must be considered by the Advisory Committee and at any public hearing when a proposed district is being considered: The agricultural and forestal significance of land within the district and in areas adjacent thereto; The presence of any significant agricultural lands or significant forestal lands within the district and in areas adjacent thereto that are not now in active agricultural of forestal production; The nature and extent of land uses other than active farming or forestry within the district and in areas adjacent thereto; 4. Local development patterns and needs; 5. The Comprehensive Plan and, if applicable, the zoning regulations; The environmental benefits of retaining the lands in the district for agricultural and forestal uses; and 7. Any other matter which may be relevant. Effects of a District: The proposed district provides a community benefit by conserving and protecting farmlands and forest; environmental resources such as watersheds, air quality, open space, and wildlife habitat; and scenic and historic resources. The State Code stipulates that the landowner receive certain tax benefits*, and restrictions on public utilities and government action (such as land acquisition and local nuisance laws) to protect the agricultural/forestal use of the land. In exchange, the landowner agrees not to develop the property to a "more intensive use" during the specified number of years the district is in effect. *Since Albemarle County currently permits all four categories of use value assessment, a district designation may not provide any additional real estate tax deductions. Land in a district is protected from special utility assessments or taxes. The State Code stipulates that, "Local ordinances, comprehensive plans, land use planning decisions, administrative decisions and procedures affecting parcels of land adjacent to any district shall take into account the existence of such district and the purposes of this chapter." The district may have no effect on adjacent development by right, but could restrict proposed rezonings or uses by special use permit which are determined to be in conflict with the adjacent agricultural/forestal uses. Districts must now be shown on the official Comprehensive Plan map each time it is updated. In general, a district may have a stabilizing effect on land use. The property owners in the district are making a statement that they do not intend to develop their property in the near future, and that they would like the area to remain in the agricultural and forestal uses. Adjacent property owners may be encouraged to continue agricultural uses if they do not anticipate development of adjacent lands. ADDITION TO CARTER'S BRIDGE DISTRICT: Carter's Bridge District was created on April 20, 1988. Additions occurred on October 31, 1990 and May 21, 1997. The District was reviewed on September 9, 1998, and was continued for ten years. An addition was approved on February 10, 1999. Location: Carter's Bridge District is located in the vicinity of Carter's Bridge, Blenheim, Woodridge, and Keene. The proposed addition is located on the east side of Frys Path (State Route 627), southwest of Carter's Bridge in the Scottsville Magisterial District. Acreage: The Carter's Bridge District contains 9,046.16 acres in 51 parcels. The proposed addition contains 117.69 acres in five parcels. See tax map, ATTACHMENT A Time Period: The proposed time period for the addition is the same time period established when the district was reviewed, or ten years from April 20, 1998. Agricultural and Forestal Significance: Land in the addition is used for forestry. Significant Land Not in Agricultural/Forestal Production:The use value assessment program is a good indicator of the actual use of the property. All 117.69 acres are enrolled under forestry. 2 Land Use other than Agriculture and Forestry: None. Local Development Patterns and Needs: The area surrounding the Cartels Bridge district is very rural. There are many large farms as well as scattered dwellings. Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations: The Carter's Bridge District and the proposed addition are located within-the Rural Area of the Comprehensive'Plan and are ZOned RA, Rural Areas. The nearest Development Area is the Urban Area, a distance of about 5 miles north. A Comprehensive Plan objective is "All decisions concerning the Rural Areas shall be made in the interest of the four major elements of the Rural Areas, with highest profity given to preserving agricultural and forestal activities rather than encouraging residential development." (p.203). The newly adopted Chapter Two states, "Albemarle County fully supports the purpose and intent of Agricultural/Forestal Districts, and respects the commitment which landowners make when they decide to enroll property in a district." The Open Space Plan shows this area to have important farmlands and forests. Environmental Benefits: This proposed addition lies within the Hardware River watershed. Conservation of this area maintains the environmental integrity of the County and aids in the protection of ground and surface water, wildlife habitat, critical slopes, and open space. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the addition to the Carter's Bridge District as proposed. Advisory_ Committee Recommendation: The Advisory Committee at its meeting on March 15, 1999, unanimously recommended approval of the addition. See Advisory Committee minutes ATTACHMENT E.

MILLER ',AND · WHITE HALL DISTRICTrs SECTION 7 ! ATTACHMENT E Agricultural/Forestal Districts Advisory Committee Minutes March 15, 1999 The Chair, Stephen Murray, called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Other members of the committee present were: Joseph Jones, Vice-chair, Bruce Hogue, Sherry Buttriek, Walter Perkins, David vanRoijen, Rosemary Dent, and Bruce Woodzell. Members absent were: Robert Bloch and Jacquelyne Huckle. Staff present were Mary Joy Scala, Senior Planner, Gordon Yager, District Conservationist, and William Fritz, Senior Planner (for LaYapa). Addition to Carter's Bridge District Staff presented the report recommending approval. An applicant, Edward Coles was present. Gordon Yager noted that the soils are excellent for hardwoods. Ms. Buttrick moved to recommend approval. Mr. jones seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. SP 98-71 Stony Mountain Fibers (Within Eastham Agricultural/Forestal District) Ms. Scala presented the staff report, noting that the purpose of the Committee's review is to determine whether the proposed use is consistent with the intent and purpose of the agricultural/ forestal district. The applicant, Barbara Gentry, was present. Mr. vanRoijen asked whether the conditions are specific to the use? Staff replied yes. Mr. Yager asked how many sheep are there, and how much wool is produced? The applicant responded that there are 26 sheep. She intends to sell lambs for breeding. She gets 8-10 pounds of wool per sheep. She is not going to grow because the acreage can't support more. Mr. Murray asked is she could expand? Staff said the permit would have to be amended. The special use permit is for that parcel. The applicant responded to a question that the Lobos (a neighbor) have been contacted and are OK with the proposal. Mr. Murray asked how this related to the farm sales use which Scott Peyton proposed a few years ago. Staff noted the scale is smaller. Staff determined that a home occupation better described the use proposed. Mr. Murray noted the existing building and parking. Ms. Buttrick questioned the need to widen the entrance. The applicant's husband noted that it had already been done. ATTACHMENT E Mr. Murray said he is a strong proponent of income producing activity. Agriculture in this County can be described less as a business and more of a lifestyle. Very few ag operations are not subsidized. He could support this. Mr. vanRoijen went to look at it with staff. He had no strong objections. It is related to agriculture. He can't see that it will generate a lot of traffic. He can't see that the road will be overburdened. It is in keeping with the ag district. Mr. Jones said it is good that it'adds value to a product already produced. He wished we could all add value to products. Mr. Woodzell said he could help add value. Mr. Jones said he meant to the products. He moved to accept this special use permit as proposed by staff. Mr. Hogue seconded the motion. The motion to recommend approval carried unanimously. SP 99-03 La Yapa (Within Moorman's River Agricultural/Forestal District) Ms. Scala reiterated that the purpose of the Committee's review is to determine whether the proposed use is consistent with the intent and purpose of the agricultural/forestal district. Mr. Fritz presented the staff report, noting that staffhas not yet completed the review nor made a recommendation. Mr. vanRoijen asked if the applicants are currently doing the proposed home occupation? Did they know it was in an ag/for district when they purchased the property? The applicants, Gio McMuray and Maya Van Dyck were present. Mr. McMuray responded that yes, they currently have a home occupation, Class A, approximately 2 miles from the proposed location. They need more space. He answered yes, that he knew it was in an ag/for district when he purchased the property. Mr. Fritz noted that he received letters from neighbors, Elizabeth Neff, Ann Hunt, Wallace Bedell, and Paula Campbell. Notice to abutting owners has not gone out yet. Denise Zito, the owner of the house the applicants now rent, spoke and said they currently have no impact, no traffic and a small inventory. Steve Blaine, an attorney, said he represented Campbell, Neff, Bedell and West. He said this intensive use is not consistent with the ag/for district, not in keeping with the rural character of the neighborhood. His clients do not want to deprive the applicants ora living but they have been doing it as Class A. There are currently no buildings on the property. The proposed use does not support the farm use, is out of character with the historic neighborhood. Mr. Childress lives down the road. He noted the proposed use is not a high impact or high traffic business. It is a fine art business, small volume. They need space to dry the tiles. ATTACHMENT E Mr. McMuray said pottery is part of the rural character of America. They are not changing the character of Ballards Mill Road, they will have no employees. David Slezak, a neighbor, offered support as a neighbor. Mr. Murray asked what makes this a Class B home occupation? Mr. Fritz said the separate building. The ordinance limits the building to 1500 sq. ft. but they are asking for 3100 sq. ft. Staff has not made a recommendation yet. Mr. vanRoijen asked if they had considered doing it in their home? The applicant said it would have to be a 6000 sq. ft. home. Instead of having 2 studios, he and his wife are combining space into one structure. Mr. vanRoijen asked if they are using local clay? The applicant said no. Mr. Woodzell said there are two issues: the special permit and the ag/for district. The use does not relate to the ag/for district. Mr. Jones said another issue is the 21 acres are under land use assessment. If they build a house, they have to take one acre out, possibly two. They need the whole 21 acres to qualify. [Twenty acres minimum for forestry or open space with one acre taken out for a house would still qualify; but two acres taken out for the house or house and accessory structure would not. J His friend had a woodworking shop and wondered if he could join the Sugar Hollow District. He thought he could, if the house and shop were excluded from the district. Mr. Woodzell said that two structures may exclude more than one acre, counting the driveway and septic, etc. Mr. Jones said the Committee had recommended that the proposed mountain bike trails should be removed from the Panorama District because that use was not compatible with the Panorama District. Mr. Murray asked if the application would be looked at differently if the applicant wanted to use an existing barn instead of building a new structure? Mr. Fritz said yes, because we would know what it looked like, where it is, we wouldn't have to visualize. But, we would still have to bring it before the Committee to look at impacts. Ms. Buttrick asked about development rights. Mr. Fritz explained that the 21 acre parcel was recently reassigned 2 development rights from the parent parcel. The other three remain on a 13 acre portion which has been added to an adjacent parcel. He said development rights are important in reviewing the special permit. We consider what-are the possible alternative uses for a structure should the proposed use fail. He is going to recommend as a condition of the special use permit that a development right be reserved for the home occupation structure, should it be converted to a residence later. ATTACHMENT E Mr. vanRoijen asked if the applicant could do the use in his home until the agricultural/forestal district is reviewed in 2004? Mr. Fritz said he would still need to come before the Committee if the applicant asks for a modification of the Class A size requirements. (If the structure exceeds 1500 sq. ft. or 25% of the dwelling area.) Mr. Blaine said his clients' objection is that a home occupation is designed for someone use resides in a residence, and wants to continue an occupation. In this case the tail is wagging the dog - the occupation is coming first. Mr. Fritz said there is a requirement that the primary use has to be built first, before commencing the home occupation use, Mr. Blaine said his clients' objection is the intensity of the use - that it is more intensive than envisioned in the ag/for district. Mr. Murray said he believed the intent of the applicants is to generate space for their business. He appreciates the other opinions that the proposed use is not conducive to the intent of the ag/for act. He said staff told us they will require that the residence be built first, and conditions will prevent the parcel from being developed in the future. Each application is looked at individually, I don't see a precedent, I am in favor of it. Mr. Hogue said he seconded that. Mr. Woodzell said he has a problem with the proposed use in the ag/forestal district. He said it is circumventing what is spelled out in the literature [the ag/forestal brochure], that a more intensive use is not permitted by right. Mr. Murray said they are applying for space. Ms. Buttrick said there is not a lot of latitude in what she is reading in the brochure. The code is ferocious, it doesn't allow leeway. She said she has an interest in working on how home occupations are dealt with as a class of use in the Rural Area, as well as in ag/for districts. She would like to see a linkage with the protection of the land, reflecting the changing conditions of agriculture. Denise Zito, asked if the SP runs with the land? Mr. Fritz said yes, with the same conditions. Ms. Buttrick asked if they could have more than one home occupation on the same property? Mr. Fritz said they could have multiple SP's on the same parcel. However, this SP is for one use. Mr. Jones said in December, 1994 this property was put in the district for ten years. What are the benefits? Some say there are none. But the owner contracts for ten years with the Board of Supervisors to conform to the requirements of the ag/for districts act. I can't see this is an agricultural or forest product. Ms. Dent asked if the applicant was aware of the restrictions? ATT, A,CHMENT E Mr. McMuray said he knew it was in an ag/for district. Ms. Van Dyck said their friends were doing similar things. Mr. Jones said they recommended that the Scottsville Rescue Squad be allowed to withdraw prior to the expiration of the district. [The property was actually withdrawn from the district upon the death of the owner.] He said he had no problem with the special permit, or impacts. Ms. Buttrick said she is of two minds. She tried to be supportive of adaptive uses, but scale is important. Fifteen hundred sq. ft. is a threshold for staff, and an indicator of an appropriate scale. My other thought is - is this a good idea or not? Is this a more intensive use withinthe confines of the Code? I feel we are more constrained here. It is not promotive or supportive of agriculture, even though I have sympathy that it could be made more compatible if the scale were smaller. Smaller scale is an OK idea, but there is a more narrow question - is this compatible? Not sure I could say yes. The Chair asked for further discussion. Barbara Payne, a neighbor, asked if the property could be divided so that another house, driveway could be built ? Staff noted that subdivision of the parcel would have to be by family division while the parcel is enrolled in the ag/for district. Mr. Woodzell noted there would be a roll back tax, a deterrent, if they could not use the 21 acres. Mr. McMuray noted that they had considered putting the rest of the land except the house and studio in a conservation easement. Ms. Buttrick explained it may be possible to have an easement held by someone on a house and a shop or cottage of 2500 sq. ft. if the property is not divided. Mr. Hogue said they could put a hog house on the property and he wished they would. He made a motion to recommend approval of the request. Mr. Perkins seconded the motion. Staff clarified a statement made by Mr. Hogue earlier that the property was currently under land use assessment. The motion failed. The Chair asked for a role call. Ms. Scala called role: Ayes: Mr. Murray and Mr. Hogue Nays: Mr. Jones, Ms. Buttrick, Ms. Dent, Mr. Woodzell, Mr: vanRoijen, Mr. Perkins. Ms Buttrick noted that the Committee had a narrow purview. Mr. Perkins said no one is against it - but they need to find a way around the barn. ATTACHMENT E Addition to Moorman's River District Ms. Scala presented the staff report. Ms. Buttrick asked who owns the properties. Ms. Scala said that Thompson Road Land Trust and Hester Whiteher are the owners. Mr. vanRoijen asked what was their motivation to join the district? Ms. Buttrick thought that each is a relatively new owner. Whitcher used to own 60 cares across the way. She bought a smaller parcel and is easing out of the horse business. Mr. Yager said there are no particular soil problems. Ms. Buttrick moved to recommend approval of the proposed addition. Ms. Dent seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Addition to Yellow Mountain District Ms. Scala presented the staff report. Mr. vanRoijen moved to recommend approval of the proposed addition. Mr. Hogue seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Withdrawal from the Yellow Mountain District Ms. Scala passed around a letter from Scott Peyton requesting withdrawal of four parcels from the Yellow Mountain District. Mr. vanRoijen asked if the father actually owned interest in the parcels. He said we are using the argument that the land was in the father's estate but we don't know if the father had interest in it. Ms. Buttrick asked if it could be automatically withdrawn if the land is owned jointly, but is not in a corporation. Ms. Scala did not know. Mr. Perkins said he talked extensively to Larry Davis. He said the Board could not review the district again for at least 4 years. It could not reverse its decision. Mr. vanRoijen said he is OK with it if the father owned part of it, but not because he missed the review date. 6 ATTACHMENT E Ms. Buttrick concurred that she is more comfortable with the inheritance intent than missing the deadline intent. Mr. vanP~oijen moved to recommend allowing the withdrawal provided the father had part ownership in the parcels. Mr. Hogue seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Agriculturai/forestal districts brochure Mr. Jones liked the question and answer format and the larger print of the Valley Conservation Council brochure. Ms. Buttriek said we should get Jim Ridell to talk to the Committee. She will work on the brochure language. The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m. STAFF PERSON: ADVISORY COMMITTEE: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: Mary Joy Scala March 15, 1999 April 6, 1999 May 12, 1999 WITHDRAWAL FROM YELLOW MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURAL/FORESTAI~ DISTRICT BACKGROUND Purpose: The purpose of an agricultural/forestal district is "to conserve and protect and to encourage the development and improvement of the Commonwealth's agricultural and forestal lands for the production of food and other agricultural and forestal products..." and "to conserve and protect agricultural and forestal lands as valued natural and ecological resources which provide essential open space for clean air sheds, watershed protection, wildlife habitat, as well as for aesthetic pUrPoses" (§15.2 - 4301 Virginia Code). AericulturaFForestal Districts Act on Withdrawal Requests: Section 15.2 -4314 of the Code of Virginia provides for consideration of written requests to withdraw all or part of land lying within an agricultural/forestal district for "good and reasonable cause." Albemarle County has established withdrawal criteria for such requests. The Planning Commission and Advisory Committee shall provide recommendations, and the Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing on the requests. The applicant may appeal an unfavorable Board action to the Circuit Court. Withdrawals are also allowed by-right under certain specific circumstances. Bv-rieht Withdrawal: By-right withdrawal from a district is permitted before an application for a district is acted upon, during the time the district is reviewed, or upon the death of a property owner. Section 15.2-4314.D. states: Upon the death of a property owner, any heir at law, devisee, surviving cotenant or personal representative of a sole owner of any fee simple interest in land lying within a district shall, as a matter of right, be entitled to withdraw such land from such district upon the inheritance or descent of such land provided that such heir at law, devisee, surviving cotenant or personal representative files written notice of withdrawal with the local governing body and the local commissioner of revenue within two years of the date of death of the owner. Other Requests for Withdrawal: All other requests for withdrawal are subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors, and are reviewed under the following Withdrawal policy established by the Board of Supervisors: In Order to establish "good and reasonable cause," any request by a landowner to withdraw property from a district must meet the following criteria: 8 The proposed new land use will not have a significant adverse effect upon farming and/or forestry operations in the remaining balance of the district; The proposed new land use is in compliance with the most recent approved Comprehensive Plan; 3; The proposed land use is consistent with the public interest of the CoUnty (i.e.- promotes the health, safety, or general welfare of the public) and not solely to serve the proprietary interests of the landowner requesting withdrawal; The proposed land use was not anticipated by the landowner at the time the property was placed in the district, and there has been a change in conditions or circumstance since that time. Histor~ of Withdrawal Applications: There have been two approvals for withdrawal requests (other than by-right requests) since agricultural/forestal districts were begUn in 1983. The first approval in 1984 was granted prior to the withdrawal criteria being established. The second approval was for the Kalergis property in 1993, which was related to the impact of the proposed bypass on Montvue Subdivision. Existing District: Yellow MoUntain District was created on March 8, 1989 for a time period'of ten years. A by-right withdrawal occurred in 1996 following the death of a property owner. The District was reviewed on January 13, 1999, and was continued for ten years. Location: The property proposed to be withdrawn, Tax Map 55, Parcels 12B, 16, 16B, and 20A, is located on the north side of Rockfish Gap Turnpike (Route 250 West) and south of 1-64 in the Greenwood vicinity, just west of the Yancey's Mill interchange. See Tax Map ATTACHMENT F. Acreage: The area requested to be withdrawn contains 84.003 acres in four parcels. A~ricultural and Forestal Significance: The land proposed to be withdrawn is half wooded and half in pasture. Significant Land Not in AgriculturaFForestal Production: The use value taxation program is a good indication of the actual use of the property. Approximately 42.643 acres are enrolled in the use value taxation program Under agriculture (used for pasture); and 41.360 acres are enrolled under forestry. Land Use other than Agriculture and Forestry: There are no dwellings within the area requested for withdrawal. Local Development Patterns and Needs: The area requested for withdrawal is located in the Greenwood vicinity with large farms to the west and south. Mixed devleopment occurs east of the interchange, approaching the Crozct Development Area. 9 Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations: The area requested for withdrawal is designated Rural Area in the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned RA, Rural Areas. The nearest growth area is the Crozet Development Area, a distance of about one mile east. The Open Space Plan shows this area designated as important farmlands and forests. Three adjacent farms are' designated ~on the National Register of Historic Places. This property is located within the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir watershed. Both 1-64 and Route 250 are Entrance Corridors. Environmental Benefits: Conservation of this area serves to protect valuable resources such as drinking water resources, important farmlands and forests, open space, and the historic landscape. Staff Comment: The applicant missed the deadline for by-right withdrawal during the recent review of the district on January 13, 1999. The applicant then requested a by-right withdrawal on February 3, 1999, due to the recent death of his father. The applicant was informed that he could not withdraw under the clause which permits withdrawal upon the death of the owner, because the property is owned by a corporation, rather than by a sole owner. The applicant then applied for a withdrawal which must be reviewed under the established withdrawal criteria. The applicant's justification regarding the four withdrawal criteria is attached as ATTACHMENT G. The Agricultural/Forestal Districts Advisory Committee discussed this request at its meeting on March 15, 1999 and recommended allowing the withdrawal provided the father had part ownership in the parcels. See Advisory Committee minutes, ATTACHMENT E Staff comment on the criteria is as follows: The proposed new land use will not have a significant adverse effect upon farming and/or forestry operations in the remaining balance of the district; The current land use is agriculture and forestry. The applicant has stated that no change in land use is anticipated. There is no way to know whether the land use may change in the future. One possible adverse impact of allowing removal of this property from the agricultural/forestal distrct is that all the potential development right lots may be subdivided. Staff opinion is that the development right lots could be developed through family divisions even when the property remains in the district. The applicant initiated the Yellow Mountain District in 1989 and has voluntarily chosen not to subdivide to date. The proposed new land use is in compliance with the most recent approved Comprehensive Plan; This area is designated Rural Area in the Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Plan states that protection of agricultural and forestry resources is the highest priority in the Rural Area (Growth Management Goal, p.3). Therefore, the proposed land use is in compliance with the 10 Comprehensive Plan. o The proposed land use is consistent with the public interest of the County (i.e.- promotes the health, safety, or general welfare of the public) and not solely to serve the proprietary interests of the landowner requesting withdrawal; No change in land use is anticipated. Maintaining the property in agricultural and forestry uses protects the public interest. The proposed land use was not anticipated by the landowner at the time the property was placed in the district, and there has been a change in conditions or circumstance since that time. The death of the applicant's father is a change in circumstance. Although the property is owned by a corporation, the death of Mr. Peyton is a change which warrants reconsideration similar to that envisioned under the state law upon the death of a sole owner. Staff opinion is that approval of this request would set a present set to allow future withdrawals under similar conditions. However, because many family farms are owned by corporations for estate planning reasons, this may indicate a need to change the State Code and the County Ordinance. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this request. 11 ./ ../ $2!

Virginia 22901 (804) 973-7222 COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLES: ZMA 98-12: Minor amendment to Forest Lakes South PRD ZMA 98-13: Springridge PRD SP 98-46: Stream Crossing (from Powell Creek Drive) SP 99-02: Stream Crossing (from Timberwood Parkway) SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Request to amend Forest Lakes South PRD to allow a road and path in an area shown for a path only, on the original PRD Plan. Request to rezone property from R-1 and RA to PRD for Springridge development. Request to approve a stream crossing over Powell Creek for a road from Powell Creek Drive into the Springridge development. Request to approve a stream crossing for a road from Timberwood Parkway into the Springridge development STAFF CONTACT(S): Tucker, Cilimberg, Echols AGENDA DATE: May12,1999 ACTION: CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: X ITEM NUMBER: INFORMATION: INFORMATION: ATTACHMENTS: yes REVIEWED BY: BACKGROUND: On February 10, the Board of Supervisors heard the request for ZMA 98-12, ZMA 98-13, and SP 98-46. Accompanying that request was an alternate set of proffers which, if approved, would have resulted in a development whose sole access would be from Forest Lakes North via Timberwood Parkway. With the understanding the Forest Lakes Community Association would be taking a vote on the possible conveyance of land to provide this access, the Board deferred action on the requests. The Board said it would take action on the rezoning requests after the vote of the Community Association and after receiving a recommendation on a northern stream crossing from the Planning Commission. In early March, the Association's vote was taken and, although there was an affirmative vote to convey the land for the stream crossing to support access from Timberwood Parkway only, the vote failed to meet the required 75% approval. So, the land conveyance necessary for sole access from Forest Lakes North was not approved and the applicant dropped the second set of proffers. The applicant has retained the second stream crossing to allow for the '¥" connection into the property. The "V" connection would provide for interoonnections of Forest Lakes North and Forest Lakes South without crossing the road over the dam. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the second special use permit at their April 6 meeting. The proffers for the rezoning have been revised and are attached to this Executive Summary. (See Attachment A.) The revised proffers have been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office. Proffers number 5C and 6 C are still under review bythe County Attorney's office. Any necessary revisions will be forwarded to you immediately. DISCUSSION: The potential opening of the road over Lake Hollymead Dam has been the primary issue of concern for the rezoning and special use permit requests. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the Springridge rezoning with the road constructed over the dam to provide for interconnection of neighborhoods. As part of the rezoning request, the applicant has asked the County to take ownership of the dam. Ownership of the dam by the County is required by VDOT in order to accept the road into the public system for maintenance. The Planning Commission also strongly endorsed the concept of the '~/" connection to provide an alternative interconnection to constructing the road over the dam. The dam itself was designed in the late 1960's and constructed in the early 1970's. In 1981, VDOT viewed the dam as acceptable for a road which they would maintain. In 1987, VDOT said that, with a permit from the State Water Control Board, they could accept the road for maintenance. In 1998, VDOT again reviewed the adequacy of dam for a road and said that the dam was acceptable for a public road if the 7 criteria described in Attachment B were met. Additionally, the County would need to sign the County- State agreement which is also a part of Attachment B. AGENDA TITLES: ZMA 98-12: Minor amendment to Forest Lakes South PRD ZMA 98-13: Springridge PRD SP 98-46: Stream Crossing (from Powell Creek Drive) SP 99-02: Stream Crossing (from Timberwood Parkway) May 12, 1999 Page 2 Acceptance of ownership of the dam by the County would obligate the County for maintenance of the dam and possible liability. The annual insurance cost to add the Hollymead dam to the County's general liability policy would be approximately $2000 per year. Average annual maintenance would consist of mowing, inspections, and litter removal. It would cost about $5,000 per year. If the dam were to fail in its entirety, which is highly unlikely since usually only portions of dams fail, the replacement cost would be approximately $500,000. If the Board decides not to accept the proffer dealing with the road over the dam, access would be provided solely from Powell Creek Drive. The alternative road interconnection is the '~/" connection that would bring Powell Creek Drive and Timberwood Parkway into the Springridge property Without a dam crossing. To pursue this connection, the Forest Lakes Community Association would have to convey open space for right-of-way and easements to the developer. The ownership and maintenance of the dam would rest with the developer or the Community Association. The "V" connection alternative would remove the off-site proffers for street and traffic improvements near the school complex. The value of the off-site proffers plus the anticipated cost for building the road over the dam would be applied to the Timberwood Parkway component of the "V" connection. If the anticipated costs exceed $270,000, and the County or other entity will not provide the difference, then this option would not be pursued by the Applicant. The proffered dedication of the dam represents the developer's effort to provide for road interconnections between neighborhoods in Forest Lakes. The proffer is an "offer" to the County; the County is not obligated to accept the proffer. If the proffer is not accepted, but the rest of the rezoning is approved, then access would be provided solely from Powell Creek. If the rezoning is approved with the proffers, staff believes the Board should make a statement of intent regarding the dam. Such a statement of intent, though nonbinding, would provide direction to the applicant and bring closure to this controversial issue. To delay making a decision on whether or not to allow a public road over the dam access would be postpone the decision until a final plat is submitted for dedication of the dam. As part of the dedication of right-of-way and acceptance of the road into the public system, VDOT would require the County to sign the County - State agreement for Maintenance of a Road over a Dam. By accepting Proffer 4 and not making a decision on whether the County should allow a public road over the dam by taking ownership and maintenance, the Board postpones resolution of the issue. In this case, if the Board subsequently decided not to accept ownership and maintenance of the dam, the applicant would provide access solely from Powell Creek Drive. It would be most desirable for the Board to express its intent regarding the dam at this time. If the Board makes a decision at this time, then the applicant will know whether or not to develop engineering plans for the road and begin the submittal process for review and approval by the County. For the County, it is possible that the $170,000 in road improvements could be proffered for other off-site improvements. For the neighborhoods, the controversy would be resolved. By stating its intent with approval of the rezoning, outstanding issues could be settled now. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission has recommended approval of ZMA 98-12 to allow a change in open space to the Forest Lakes South PDR to allow for construction of a road to the Springridge property. The Commission has recommended approval of ZMA 98-13 and SP 98-46 for a neotraditional type development and a stream crossing for access. They recommended acceptance of the proffers for ZMA 98-13 provide for two alternatives for interparcel access. Although the cost for owning and maintaining the dam is about $7000 per year, the Planning Commission has said that the Forest Lakes Community would benefit from having an interconnected neighborhood. They have said that the County would benefit by enabling neighborhood traffic to flow within the neighborhoods rather than on Route 29. The benefit of an interconnected neighborhood would also accrue with the '~/" connection. With the '¥" connection, though, the Community Association would have to approve the disposition of open space to this use and it is unknown whether or not an affirmative vote on the conveyance is possible. The Planning Commission recognized that the "V" connection might not be possible; however, the Commissioners recommended approval of SP 99-02 for the stream crossing by a road from Timberwood Parkway as the preferable way to connect the neighborhoods. AGENDA TITLES: ZMA 98-12: Minor amendment to Forest Lakes South PRD ZMA 98-13: Springridge PRD SP 98-46: Stream Crossing (from Powell Creek Drive) SP 99-02: Stream Crossing (from Timberwood Parkway) May 12, 1999 Page 2 The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the rezonings and special use permits and recommended that the Board accept the proffers as submitted. The Planning Commission has strongly endorsed the concept of interparcel access as well as the '¥" connection. The Planning Commission has said that approval of all four requests is necessary to proceed with the development. Staff would also recommend that, in its action on the rezoning of ZMA 98- 13, the Board make a statement as to whether it will accept ownership and maintenance of the dam under terms and conditions acceptable to the County. 99.081 Date: _5_/_5 / 99 ZMA # ~ROFFER FORM 98-13 Tax Map Parcel(s)# v~ ~,~C~l rikliS[ Amended Proffer' x - (Amendment~ ~ ) 4 Ai~oTTACHMENT A~__,: __?_.5__Acres to be rezoned from R-1/RA to PRD in accoz-dance w±th, Application Plan dated 10/7/98 ~-nd General and Specific Conditions dated 5/5/99.

Connecting Spring Ridge to the other Forest Lakes developments in some fashion makes sense, particularly because of the amenities that are found in both Forest Lakes North and South. The Hollymead Community is not part of those communities and thus not allowed to us6 thOse amenities. We will, however, see increased traffic on our two main roads, Hollymead Drive and Powell Creek Drive. We ask that you consider these improvements to our existing infrastructure: 1. Request VDOT to improve the intersection of Powell Creek Drive and Hollymead Drive. Make it a tree T-intersection with a three-way stop. 2. Posted and enforced speed limit of 25 mph on Powell Creek Drive. 3. A walkway on the southern side of Hollymead Drive, extending from the swimming pool parking lot to the intersection of Powell Creek. 4. A walkway on the western side of Powell Creek Drive, beginning at the intersection of Poe's lane and Powell Creek Drive and extending to the intersection of Powell Creek Drive and Hollymead Drive. 5. A crosswalk at the intersection of Powell Creek and Hollymead Drive, ideally over Powell Creek. 6. Stop signs along Powell Creek Drive at the dam as well as the entrance/exit to Forest Lakes South. Thank you for consideration of these requests.

ECHOLS, AICP APRIL 6, 1999~ MAY 12, 1999 Revised~4pril 7, 1999 SP 99-02 Stream Crossing #2 and Construction in Floodplain of Powell Creek Applicant's Proposal: Forest Lakes Associates has requested a second special use permit for grading and construction in the floodplain for the Spring-ridge project. The second stream crossing would allow for access from Timberwood Parkway across Powell Creek to the "Brown" property (See Attachments A and B). If approved, the stream crossing would support the "¥" connection described in the proffers with the original proposal for ZMA 98- 13 Springridge PRD. Petition: Request for special use permit to allow a road to cross a stream in accordance with Section 30.3.5.2.1.2 of the Zoning Ordinance which allows for fill in the floodplain and stream crossings. The property, described as Tax Map 46B3 Parcel A2, contains 0.17 acres where the crossing occurs, and is located in the Rivanna Magisterial District on Timberwood Parkway [Route # 1720] approximately 0.1 miles from the Hollymead Lake dam. (See Attachment C.) The property is zoned R-4 and is owned by the Forest Lakes Community Association. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Neighborhood Density in the Community of Hollymead with a density of 3 - 6 dwelling units per acre. Applicant's Justification of Request: The applicant has requested approval in order to provide a second road (the "V" connection) into the Springridge property, Tax Map 46-35. History since the Planning Commission last saw Springridge: After the Planning Commission public hearing on the Springridge project on October 27, 1998, the applicant contacted the Forest Lakes Community Association about purchase of the common area needed tO support the "V" connection into Springridge. The Forest Lakes Community Association Board declined the offer of Forest Lakes Associates to acquire the property for the "V" connection. Instead, the Association asked the applicant to consider access from Forest Lakes North, only, by bringing a road from Timberwood Parkway across the floodplain into the Springridge property. The Association asked the applicant to withdraw his request for access from Powell Creek Drive into the property and to withdraw the offer to build a road over the dam. They asked the applicant to request a deferral from the Board of Supervisors on the Board's public hearing for Springridge. The applicant agreed to change his rezoning application in this manner, provided the property from the Association was made available for sole access from Forest Lakes North. In early January 1999, the applicant and the Association made application for this special use permit for a stream crossing. On January 28, the applicant presented an alternative set of proffers to the Board of Supervisors for approval of Springridge with access from Timberwood Parkway only, contingent on approval of this special use permit. The Board of Supervisors held a public heating on February 10 and declined to take action until the Association could take a vote on conveying the land for the stream crossing. The Board said it would take action on the rezoning request after this special use permit for this stream crossing had received a recommendation from the Planning Commission. In early March, the Association's vote was taken and, although there was an affirmative vote to convey the land for the stream crossing to support access from Timberwood Parkway only, the vote failed to meet the required 75% approval. So, the land conveyance necessary for sole access from Forest Lakes North was not approved. The applicant has since dropped the alternative set of proffers from his rezoning proposal. The stream crossing under consideration is also the same stream crossing necessary to support the "V" connection into Springridge. The "V" connection was strongly endorsed by the Planning Commission as a way to provide for interconnections of developments without opening the road over the dam. The "V" connection was viewed by the Commission as more ~advantageous because it would retain the present condition of the pathway over the dam. It would result in less traffic in front of the school complex than the direct connection over the dam. For this reason, the applicant has retained it as part of the proposal for Springridge. If the proffers are accepted by the Board of Supervisors, the Forest Lakes Community Association would need to take another vote on conveyance of land to the applicant to support access from Timberwood Parkway. If successful, this special use permit would enable access from two points into the Springridge development and avoid opening the road across the dam. A letter has been received from adjoining property owners indicating their desire that the "v"connection not be allowed; rather, they would like to see the road open over the dam. (See Attachment E.) Character of the Area: The property is heavily wooded and surrounding this area is open space and recreational area for Forest Lakes North. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this special use permit with conditions. Planning and Zoning History: This open space was created through subdivision plats for Forest Lakes North. Forest Lakes North was approved as a "by-right" sub. division under R-4 zoning. 2 Comprehensive Plan: The purpose of this special use permit is to allow for a second point of access into and out of the proposed Springridge development. The Springridge development is considered an "infill" development and the Comprehensive Plan promotes "infill" activities in the Develobment Areas. The Land Use Plan recommends intercormections of developments and this second access would provide for street connections between Forest Lakes North and South, without putting a road across the Lake Hollymead dam. Regarding natural resources and stream crossings, the Plan says that encroachment into the floodplain by manmade structures should be avoided to prevent flooding. The Plan recommends protection of significant resources associated with major stream valleys. (Powell Creek is identified as a major stream valley on the County's Open Space Plan.) But it also recognizes that floodplain crossings may be necessary to access property for development. Where floodplain crossings cannot be avoided, all efforts are to be made to mitigate environmental impacts from disturbance of the floodplain. Engineering 31nalysis: The applicant has requested a culvert type stream crossing for a road to access the main development area of Springridge. Fill will be placed in the floodplain to raise the road elevation high enough to remain dry during flood events. A preliminary road ,alignment was submitted with the application that indicates maximum fill depths of 20 feet, with 2:1 slopes. There would be an area of disturbance of approximately 180 feet in the widest area. The County Engineering Department has reviewed this request and supporting documentation. (See Attachment D.) They have concluded that the crossing is comparable ~o the previous stream crossing requested for the property. The stream and valley in this area, though, .are not as large as the stream and valley considered for the first stream crossing. There are no signs of wetlands here. And the floodplain disturbance is significantly less than the southern crossing. Effects to the FEMA floodplain are anticipated to be minimal and the main flooding concerns are with discharge from the dams in Forest Lakes North. Flooding effects to the recreational area would be dependent on the backwater created by the stream crossing. Avoidance of negative impacts to the recreational area is an' issue that will be addressed in the final design, if the special use permit is approved and the "V" alternative is chosen. STAFF COMMENT: Staff will 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. 3 The applicant has indicated that there will likely be a minor amount of backwater flooding which will potentially affect the playfield, walking trails and basketball court area. The amount of flooding will depend on the design which the crossing uses. The Engineering Department has indicated whatever design is chosen, it must minimize to the greatest extent possible any flooding of the open space area. As the open space area adjacent to the stream crossing is used by residents of the Forest Lakes developments and those residents may ultimately make the choice on whether or not to exercise the option for the 'W" connection, the level of change to the recreational areas is ultimately up to them. Staff believes that any backup will not be a substantial detriment to the majority of the open space of Forest Lakes and will not be detrimental to adjacent properties. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby, The addition of a stream crossing should not change the character of the district since there are streams, stream crossings, and dams that are part of the two existing developments nearby. and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance. ~ection 30.3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the purpose and intent of the Flood Hazard Overlay District to provide safety and protection from flooding. More specifically, the provisions of this section of the ordinance are to "restrict the unwise use, development and occupancy of lands subject to inundation which may result in: danger to life and property; public costs for flood control measures and/or rescue and relief efforts; soil erosion, sedimentation and siltation; pollution of water resources; and general degradation of the natural and man-made environment". The Engineering Department has said that effects to the floodplain are anticipated to be minimal. All stream crossings have degrading effects on streams. The amount of degradation relative to the benefit of access over the stream is weighed in special use permit requests. The floodplain at this location is associated with Powell Creek, which is a perennial stream. The intermittent stream over which this stream crossing would occur converges with Powell Creek after the crossing point. The main flooding concerns are with the discharge from the dams in Forest Lakes North and modification to those dams are one option to address any flooding concerns. No homes or public infrastructure should be affected by any flooding. The water protection ordinance and other environmental permits should ensure protection from soil erosion, sedimentation and siltation, and pollution of water resources. with the uses permitted by right in the district, The by-right uses are residential and the proposed uses are also residential. The floodplain 4 crossing would be viewed as compatible with these uses and also permit many of the uses. and with the public health, safety and general welfare. The public health, safety, and general welfare 9fthe community is protected through the special use permit process which limits stream crossings to places where a property owner has no reasonable use of her/his property, except with a stream crossing. Stream crossings are also approved where their construction would prevent environmental degradation and flooding. In addition, stream crossings are approved to advance the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. SUMMARY Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to this request: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The Land Use Plan suggests that there be more than a single point of access into new developments. The floodplain crossing would allow for a public road, rather than just an "emergency access" into and out the development. The floodplain crossing will be designed to have the least environmental impact possible. The interconnection without crossing the dam is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan. The "V" connection would likely result in the County not taking over ownership of, maintenance for, and liability of the Hollymead dam. The pathway over the dam would be retained in its current configuration. Staffhas identified the following factors which are unfavorable to this request: o The floodplain crossing will cause fill which will cause minor flooding in an open space part of the Forest Lakes North development. Two floodplain, crossings are more environmentally degrading than a single floodplain crossing. The area in which this crossing would occur could negatively affect a recreational area in Forest Lakes North; although, the level of effect would ultimately be up to the homeowners. The Forest Lakes Community-Association has already voted once to convey the property for access from Timberwood Parkway and the vote failed. The likelihood that an affirmative vote to convey land for the "V" connection is unknown. The Forest Lakes Community Association may ultimately bear the responsibility for ownership of, maintenance for, and liability of the Hollymead dam. Because the Comprehensive Plan supports road interconnections between developments and because the County regulations should ensure the least amount of environmental degradation 5 possible with the stream crossings, staff recommends approval of this special use permit with the following conditions: 1. Engineering Department approval of an erosion control plan. 2. Engineering Department receipt of proof of compliance with state and Federal agencies · regulating activities within jurisdictional streams. 3. Engineering Department apprOval of culvert crossing plans and hydrologic and hydraulic computations demonstrating no increase in 100 year flood levels. This will include determination of impacts of backwater at the crossing particularly in the recreational areas.

MEMORANDUM Elaine EchOls,"Senior Plamier' :':'Glenn E: Brooks,-Senior Engineer ~ 25 February 1999 Spring Ridge, stream crossing from Forest Lakes North, special use permit The special use permit application and preliminary road plan for a stream crossing in the floodplain received on 2 February 1999 has been reviewed. A field visit to the site was made on 23 February 1999. This area is directly downstream of the last lake in Forest Lakes North, and downstream of a 36" diameter pipe (CMP) running under the neighborhood basketball and play field area. Attached is a topography sheet showing the approximate alignment of the proposed road and a descriptive sketch of the existing stream cross-section based on field measurements. The stream is an intermittent tributary to Powell Creek. The upstream dams provide significant attenuation of flows. The stream is shallow flowing, moderately sinuous, with fairly Iow steep cut, wooded banks. The applicant is proposing a roadway across this stream valley with a culvert in the stream. Fill will be placed to raise the road elevation so it remains dry during flood events. A preliminary road alignment was submitted by the applicant, indicating fill depths of up to 20', with 2:1 slopes, creating a 180' wide disturbance. This type of crossing is comparable to the earlier application for a stream crossing to serve this development from the Hollymead (south) side of Lake Hollymead. The stream and valley in this northern area are not as large, and have signs of disturbance from the construction of the play field, and the installation of a sewer line. There are no signs of wetlands associated with the stream in this location. In addition, the floodplain disturbance is significantly less than the southern crossing. The floodplain in this area has been determined by FEMA with a detailed study of the'stream through Lake Hollymead and Powell Creek. Refer to the attached copy. It is estimated from the_ two section points at 406' and 400' that the flood elevation is around 404' in the crossing area. Affects to the FEMA floodplain are anticipated to be minimal. The FEMA floodplain is associated with the perennial stream with which this intermittent stream converges after the crossing point. The main flooding concerns are with the discharge from the dams in Forest Lakes North. The applicant has indicated that modification to the upstream dam structures are one option to address any flooding concerns. Flooding affects to the play field, walking trails and basketball court area will depend on the backwater created by the stream crossing. This will need to be addressed in design computations, and will depend on the design storm which the crossing uses. The existing areas and land impacted will need to clearly indicated, so the Engineering Department can determine what impacts will be allowed by the backwater created during a 100yr storm. Based on the review above, the Engineering Department recommends approval of the stream crossing and fill in the floodplain as proposed by the applicant, with the following conditions: 1. Engineering Department approval of an erosion control plan. 2. Engineering Department receipt of proofof complianc~ with State and Federal Agencies regulating activities within jurisdictional streams. "~- 3. EngineeringDepartment approval of culvert crossing plans and hydrologic and hydraulic computations demonstrating no increase in 100 year flood levels. The will include determination of impacts of backwater at the crossing. Please contact me if you have questions or require additional information.

Echols Department of Planning & Community Development 401 McIntire Road, Room 218 Charlottesville, VA 22902 R E: SP 99-02 Springridge Stream Crossing Dear Ms. Echols, We are residents of Forest Lakes, but will be out of town and unable to attend the Planning Commission meeting on April 6, 1999. It is requested that the following information be brought to the attention of the Commission. The recent Forest Lakes Community Association vote regarding the exchange of property with Forest Lakes Associates did not achieve the seventy five percent of positive votes required for approval. We understand that only sixty eight percent of the residents voted for the proposal and over twenty six percent (234 votes) were against the transfer. We voted against the proposal to transfer the property. We sincerely believe that the connection to the south and thus across the dam is the best solution. We are not convinced that the traffic figures skewed to the contrary are necessarily valid. Further, school children can ride taxpayer-provided school buses and use crossing guards for safety. It appears that it will be much more desirable to connect the two Forest Lakes communities by a road over the dam and allow residents to avoid the already crowded Route 29. BOWDEN Sincerely, JANICE L. BOWDEN To: Members, Board of Supervisors From: Ella Washington Carey, CMC, C~ Subject: Reading 13st for May 12, 1999 Date: May 7, 1999 March II (A), 1996 March II (N), 1998 March 18 (A), 1998 April I, 1998 February I0, 1999 March I O, 1999 Mr. Perkins Mr. Bowerman Mr. MartJn Mr. Bowerman Mr. Perkins Mr. Perkins /ewc April 1, 1998 (Regular Meeting) (Page 21) Mr. Martin said he felt the staff had done a good job and asked what would happen if the police did a background check on someone and found they had a criminal record. Ms. Thomas noted that a decision would have to be made as to whether the person was fit to engage in the business of a dance hall and asked what this would entail. Mr. Davis replied that the police would report their findings to the Board and the Board coUld use those results as a basis for denying the permit. Mr. Bowerman asked whether this.wzE zu~t~inlbl~. Mr. Davis replied that it was, that the Board has to power to regulate dance halls and that this is modeled on other ordinances that have been sustained in other jurisdictions. Ms. Thomas asked what happened %0 the police findings. Mr. Davis answered that they were reported to the Board of Supervisors. The Board would determine the suitability of the proposed dance hall. He noted that because this is a police powers ordinance, the Board needed to address how they would deal with existing dance halls. On the issue of curfew, he would not recommend a general curfew ordinance, since it is very complicated and the City is currently embroiled in a lawsuit over theirs. On the issue of the license fee, under enabling legislature, the Board has authority to charge up to $600 annually, with the intent being to allow the County to recover the cost of this permitting process. Ms. Thomas asked if there would be a suggestion from staff as to how much the process would cost. Mr. Tucker replied that there would be and he would also check with other communitIes that have established similar ordinances. Mr. Bowerman noted that Section 3-11.10 prohibits intoxicated persons from the dance hall. It would seem to him that if an adult dance hall contemplated serving alcohol, that this section would be unenforceable. Mr. Davis replied that he was correct from a practical viewpoint; the police use more of a public drunkenness-behavior test, since defining "legally intoxicated" is often subjective. Mr. Bowerman commented that if this measure was designed to be a measure of enforcement of public nuisances, then it fits; as a practical matter, it seems unenforceable. Mr. Marshall asked how this would fie into bars that have dahcing. Mr. Davis replied that this ordinance would require them to get a permit. Mr. Perkins asked about a private party at Boar's Head for a private party. Mr. Davis ~replied that if it were not open to the general public, it would not be covered by this ordinance. Mr. Bowerman asked if there were any existing ordinances that allow dance halls without allowing alcohol. Mr. Marshall asked what would prevent a dance hall from signzng people up and becoming a private club. Mr. Davis answered that they would have 5o look at that. Mr. Martin noted that ~he discussion star~ed over teen dances and that it has now become much more broadbased, discussing every club that has dancing. His intention had been to allow people to open a nice clean dance club for teens, but all of a sudden, the discussion is over every single place that has dancing, with the exception of the clubs that cost a large sum of money to join. Mr. Perkins suggested an exemption if the dance f~loor does. not exceed a certain amount of square feet. Mr. Martin said the Board needs to look at the outcome on various clubs, hotels and restaurants thatWould ~now suddenly be affected by this ordinance. Mr. Tucker noted that 'the current ordinance applies both to adults and teenagers; the Board could either say that the new ordinance would only apply to teenagers or not give any retroactive.power to the ordinance. Mr. Bowerman stated that he did not consider many of the places mentioned as being-dance halls. Ms. Thomas noted that they are still dance halls under the current ordinance. Mr. ~Davis r.eplied that whether thos~ places had received a permit to be a dance hall was another issue. Ms. Humphris thought that the discussion was about place's whose primary purpose was dancing. Mr. Davis replied that it would be difficult to make distinctions in some cases. Mr. Martin suggested that the ordinance be limited just to teen dancing and that any other changes should be made with the public's knowledge. Mr. Marshall said that he did not want to cause any hardship to existing or futur businesses. Ms. Humphris said this ordinance was too much rigmarole for what the Board was trying to accomplish. The new ordinance wouldn't apply to charitable dances, which doesn't seem 5o accomplish what the Board desired. She asked whether it could be made ~o apply to charitable organizations. Mr~ Bowerman said such things weren't an on-going commercial event, that it was March 11, 1998 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 7) education is much more than jusE the basics. As a community, we must get in the habit of paying for growth. She then asked those who agreed with her, to stand, at which point approximately 100 people stood. Mr. Harold Pillar suggested that, for those people who come before the Board to argue for higher 5axes, the Board institute a voluntary tax. The budget is over $11,000 per graduate per year. The question is whether ~his money that should be spent, given the quality of the product of Albemarle County schools. This is the third year in a row that the Albemarle County School Board has submitted an unbalanced budge5 for approval, in addition to the $12.0 million at Monticello High School. He suggested an independent audit of the school system be undertaken immediately. When you break down the budget by student, there is an overhead of $3000 per student in compensation for every student in Albemarle County Mr. Andrew Johnson, a resident of Scottsville, said, in his business of a towing company, he has the opportunity~meet a lot of diverse people. He is astonished by how many people are saying the same thing he does, that enough is enough. He asked that the Board hold the line on balancing the budget and do what they can 5o reduce Eaxes. Ms. Margie Shepherd, a teacher in Albemarle County, said that an increase in children should cause an automatic increase in funding. At the current Eax rate, growth does not ever pay for itself. Taxpayers are sacrificing children to feed their own miserly growth. Ms. Linda Dukes, a teacher's assistant at Hollymead, said that even if the requested budge% is approved, the Book Buddies Program would be cut. The budge5 needs are especially serious this year due ~o the opening of a new high school and increased demands from the new Standards of Learning. There is no extra fat 5o be trimmed out of the Schools' budgeEs, essential programs are being cut now. She requested that the Schools be funded a~ an even higher level this year. Ms. Kathy Verell said that she has three children in County schools and is an educator in Albemarle County. She said that there are many issues about the school budget that concerns ciEizens. She does not advocate a tax increase, although 5axes are lower than they were in 1986, but rather advocating for the children, that class sizes remain manageable and that programs are not cut. As the number of enrolled students grows, the cost of educating them will increase. The opening of a new high school puts a financial strain on a community; when WAHS opened in 1977, the County gave its best effort, even a ~ax raise. Does not Monticello High School deserve the same? She brought with her signed petitions from over 200 citizens, urging a school budget which funds anticipated growth and maintains existing programs. Ms. Dee Walsh asked the Board to adequately fund the school system. did not think that even the unbalanced budget is sufficient. She asked citizens who acknowledge the value of education to stand, at which time approximately 100 people stood. She Ms. Louise Ward said that Albemarle County is a beautiful area in which to live, with good roads, police, fire department and rescue squads, as well as an excellent school system. Many people are moving here to enjoy what we r ai~'d~ have, putting quite a drain on the services~ Since c~izens do not want a tax increase, the Board needs to actively lobby representatives for impact fees to be leveled on new development. Until t_h~a_~ becomes-~i~W% she urged the Board to weigh the impact 9~_each new development that comes before it. If citizens truly velue t~h~r money, they should save their money on future costly television advertisements. Ms. Debby Steva, mother of two children, said that children are being forced into large classes, with a wide variety of needs in each class. Because of cuts in school budge5 allocations, her children's school has no art teacher and only has gy~ three times per week. It is irresponsible ~o continue growth without providing adequate funding for the growth. By all means, make sure there is no was£e in the budget, but if there is no waste, more funds muse be provided. Ms. Emily Hair, a sixth grader at Sutherland Middle School, urged the Board to support the schools and the proposed school budge5. The attached is a llst of individuals who sent in form letters. I am only sending you copies of the letters where people made comments.

The negatives which will follow a paved mad over the dam far outweigh any benefits. The development of this road will jeopardize the safety of both children and residents alike. It is obvious that the opening of this road will greatly increase traffic past the Suthedand and Hollymead Schools. In addition, Powell Creek Ddve through the Hollymead community and into Forest Lakes South is already overburdened with 1,800 vehicle tdps per day. The county should be taking steps to reduce traffic in front of the schools rather than increase it. Why would the county spend our tax dollars to maintain a DAM ROAD and assume the subsequent dsks when at least 67% of the residents are against it? Shouldn't these funds be used to support the school budget? Let's not destroy a beautiful, tranquil and scenic ama enjoyed by both the Hollymead and Forest Lakes Communities just because of poor planning in the past. Please show us that you care for the well- being and the future of Forest Lakes and Hollymead residents and vote "NO" on the DAM ROAD. ~c, ,~ r>D OF SUPERVJTSORS MICHELLE SANDOW-PAJEWSKI 3023 WATERCREST DRIVE CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22911 ~ c~ ~, RD OF SUPERVISORS May 4, 1999 Mr. Charles & Martin, Cl~airman of Board of Supervisors Cotmty Office Building 40I Mctntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Mr. Martin: I am a mother of four children, Christine age 6; Michael age 4, Kathemae, age 20 months, and Hammh- Nicole age 5 months, i also work and can not attend the EXTREMELY important meeting that will be held on May 12, 1999 with the Board of Supervisors.

In addition, Powell Creek Drive 'through the Hotl3maead community and into Forest Lakes South is already overburdened with 1,880 vehicle nips per day.

This is especially concerning since the recent media coverage of the Colinbine bombing incident, As a parent. I do not want additional traffic through the school Itrea. Hollymead/Southerland like other county schools should not be subjected to that h~creased amount of direct traffic. We do not need to open the "dam" road and unnecessarily place our children at the attention of every passer-by. Of come we hope that the potential for 'this type of lxagedy taking place in our commmfity is low but why make the Hotlymead and Southerland schools more at risk for e .xposure.

Martin - Chairman Board of Supervisors County Office Building 401 McIntire Rd Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Mr. Martin, I live at the comer of Ashwood Road and Powell Creek Drive and I am writing to express my outrage at the thought ora road over the Hollymead Dam. It is inconceivable to me that anyone involved with city planning or transportation would even consider such a thing. It is obvious that any study of the traffic flow made in the area is largely being ignored. Each morning as I leave for work, I already have to contend with a line of cars leaving Hollymead, short-cutting through Powell Creek, waiting in front of my house to mm right toward Rt. 29. Through the late afternoon from 4-6 PM, I sit in my garage watching countless cars racing up Ashwood, turning left onto Powell Creek Drive (nearly on two wheels I might add) short-cutting it home to Hollymead. I have no doubt that a traffic light at this intersection could already be justified based on the flow of traffic, if the Dam road is built, I'll need one at my driveway just to get to work in the morning. 'When I bought my house, I was told many things. One was that there were no plans to build houses in view of my back yard (lie), that curbing would be installed on my street as it has been in every other "Forest Lakes subdivision (it will not be), and that Powell Creek Drive was originally to be a cul de sac, and would never need to support the traffic of Forest Lakes North (it now seems that it will). Powell Creek Drive was never designed to handle the traffic it now does, and certainly will be a virtual highway should it have to serve as access to the development planned for the land East of Forest Lakes North. It is unfair to ask the residents on my block to sacrifice so an entire development's worth of traffic can have access to Rt. 29 via the "Ashwood shortcut". What we need at this point are measures to definitely slow, and possibly reduce the flow of cars on Powell Creek Drive; ideally, a partition between Hollymead neighborhood and Powell Creek Drive that forces Hollymead residents to get to Rt. 29 via their own access road. Please study the situation carefully, count the cars already burdening my street, and measure their speed. It will become clear that the Dam road would be a HUGE step in the wrong direction further compromising the tranquility and safety of the Powell Creek neighborhood. Please VOTE NO on the Dam road.

Compton 1581 Thornridge Way Charlottesville,VA 22911 April 29, 1999 Mr. Charles S. Martin Chairman of Board Of Supervisors County Office BUilding 401Mclntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Mr. Martin: The purpose of this letter is to urge you to vote against building a road over the Hollymead Dam. The negatives which will follow the building a road over the dam will far outweigh any benefits. The construction of this road will jeopardize the safety of the children in Hollymead, Forest lakes South and Forest lakes North. In addition it will have an adverse effect on the security of our Persons as well as our properties. As a resident and former active Real Estate Broker in A'lbemarle County, I know for a fact that the Board of Supervisors for many years opposed a road connection between Holl~ymead and Jefferson Village directly to the north of the Dam due to the increase df traffic in front, of the Hollymead School. Now the County Planning Commission appears to be in concert with the Developers in "piggy-backing" one sub-division onto another, again something they opposed for many years, and are therefore setting a very, very dangerous precedence for other developers who would wish to do the same. Powe!l Creek Drive in Forest lakes South is almost inadequate to carry the present day traffic and should never have been approved as a connector route between two major subdivisions (Hollymead and Forest lakes South), yet Powell Creek Drive is now being proposed by the DevelOper and the Planning Commission as one road for the newly proposed Sub'division of the "Brown Property". It is also mY understanding that in the very near future the Meadow Creek ParkWay will be connected to Forest lakes South, in the South East, thereby providing a means for through traffic from the South-East via Meadow Creek Parkway into Forest lakes South to Powell Creek Drive past Hollymead SchOol to Forest lakes North to 29 North. Never in my many 26 years of highly active experience in Real Estate in the greater Charlottesville-Albemarle County area have I witnessed the many changes in the Comprehensive Plan, the waiver of the requirements for developers to construct their own roads into their new developments, and construct their own roads within the development to meet State Highway Standards, and pay for the same. Also, the recent act of the Planning Commission to rezone PART of the Brown tract high density appears to be arbitrary, especially in light of the fact that the legal and historical right-of-way into the Brown property is off of Route 649, which is far more passable that Powell Creek Drive and is the most practical entrance for development (as was strictly pointed out to one of my agents a few years ago by the Planning Commission). Mr. Martin at least 67% of the residents of Forest lakes object to building the road over the Hollymead Dam. Furthermore, the use of our tax dollars in the assistance of a developer in this or any other similar undertaking is unthinkable and unacceptable to us as tax payers and voters. Also, if we approve of or condone the principle of "Piggy-backing" onto subdivisions using the now existing roads therein, we are setting a very, very, dangerous precedence for other developers in the immediate future. In closing, let me state that we understand that this project is very important to the Developer in terms of dollars. He will be using the existing roads to the edge of the Brown Tract, install a very short connector entrance, survey off the lots and then sell them at a cost of about $50,000.00 per lot for about 4 to 5 million dollars profit. He will then leave the area and the mess of uncontrolled traffic and he will have infringed upon our present harmony and tranquility, and will have jepordized the security and safety of our beloved children and our properties. We voted for you, and now we are asking you to vote NO for us. Since. rely, / /~ May 4, 1999 Albemarle County Board of Supervisors 401McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Board Members: Recently I, and a significant number of my neighbors, voted at a homeowners association meeting to respect your judgment vis-a-vis joining the neighborhoods of Forest Lakes and Hollymead by building a road over the adjoining dam. Since then, the Forest Lakes Board of Directors has chosen to dispute your board's rationale in regards to this matter and intends to argue the issue at your decision making meeting of May 12th. When casting your votes remember that a decisive group of Forest Lakes residents concur with you, and that to not build a road over the dam only would serve to delay the inevitable, and be viewed as an impractical and in- adequate solution. ~Co~lly, 3293 Gateway Circle Charlottesville, VA 22911 CC: Mr. John Macdonald, FLCA Mr. Steve Runkle, FLA Mr. and Mrs. Ernest F. Dukes, Jr 2645 Coralberry Place Charlottesville, VA 22911-8276 Tel: (804) 978-3969 May 3, 1999 Charles S. Martin, Chairman, Board of Supervisors County Office Building 401 Mclntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 We expect t.o attend the-May 12th meeting of the Board-of Supervisors at which the subject of the proposed road over the Hollymead Dam will be discussed and presumably voted on. This letter is to register our concern about the road. We live in Forest Lakes South, on a quiet cul-de-sac, and it will have little or no effect on us. But we do drive down Powell Creek Drive from time to time and it was obviously never meant to carry its present traffic load. It is a narrow road without curbs (our quiet cul-de-sac has a wider road with curbs). Powell Creek Drive probably could not be widened since most of the homes along it were built quite close to the roadway. The major increase in traffic that a road over the dam would bring would make life very unpleasant and even dangerous for the homeowners along Powell Creek Drive and, we might add, for the students, faculty and administration at the two schools along the drive. We can't see any compelling reason to put a road across the dam at this time. Why not wait until Forest Lakes is finished, evaluate the traffic patterns, and then decide whether the dam road is necessary or even desirable. It can be built at any time--there is no necessity to do it now. We appreciate how difficult it is to please everyone--sometimes the best approach is to wait and see. This would seem to be one of those times. Sincerely, April 23, 1999 Board Of Supervisors 401 Mclntim Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Supervisor Representative: I urge you to vote against building a mad over the Hollymead Dam.

Powell Creek Drive is already overburdened by more than 1,800 vehicle trips per day. The development of this road will undoubtedly increase traffic flow in front of the Hollymead School, endangering the safety of the children and other residents of Hollymead and Forest Lakes. The county should be taking steps to reduce traffic in front of the schools rather than to increase it. In addition, the county will be spending tax dollars to build, maintain and assume liability for a road that does not have the support of the majority of area residents. We moved to Forest Lakes so our children could live in a beautiful, friendly and safe suburban neighborhood. It is difficult to pass through Hollymead or Forest Lakes without seeing children playing or parents and Children biking, walking, and fishing.

Gaspar May 3, 1999 Charles S, Martin, Chairman Board of Supervisors 401 Mcinfire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 0,5-05-9 Dear Mr. Martin: Concerning the proposal to construct a road over the dam connecting Forest Lakes North to the Hoilymead Subdivision, I would like to ask that you vote against building a road over the dam. I am concerned about the additional traffic near the Southerland and Hollymead School, where the traffic is currently very high. Further, a road over the dam will open up a throughway all the way from Forest Lakes South to the Airport, which will act like a ~RT. 29 By-pass" for commuters trying to avoid the frequently clogged traffic on Rt. 29. This will cause a further safety issue for the school children and disrupt much of the residential ,areas in Forest Lakes North. Thanks for your consideration in voting against the dam road proposal and for considering other alternatives for accessing new residential developments in the area.

Three years ago we moved to Forest Lakes because of the sense ora small conununity within the greater Charlottesville community, the excellent elementary and middle schools within safe walking distznce from our home, and the tranquility of the lake and secluded neighborhood. I strongly urge you and the other members of the Board of Supervisors to IIOt allow the bridge over the Hollymead dam. For three years this has been an issue that has consumed the Forest Lakes Community. It is a topic of regular concern at the bus stop and in the cul de sacs. Several months ago, 73 % of the residence said they ~d not want the road built. The 27% who did vote in favor of the road, judging from the public meetings I attended, are senior citizens who are not concerned about thc increased traffic on the roads (for small bike riders) or traffic in front of the schools. Unfortunately, a number of neighbors feel that the Kessler Group has done nothing but ground everyone down in the community for the last several years. It is no surprise that whenever we feel thc issues has been killed, it is brought back to life several months later. Please help us protect our community, roads and thc schools for the children. As a resident on the last street in Forest Lakes north, I can tell you the traffic nmning through the neighborhood will only increase. As it is now, every night all night (2,3, 4 am) cars come flying into our cul de sac looking for a way to cut through. The prevention of crime is just as important to us as pedestrian safety. By opening the road over the bridge to the general community, the frequency of crime will increase as the ease of getting in and out of the neighborhoods is increased. Charlottesville has a great reputation because of its case of living. Do not ruin our neighborhood because of greed, efficiency or some grand "m~ter plan." Please vote NO., May.12, ]999 4:51PM DARDEN SCHOOL FOUNDATtON' No,4099 P. !/2 DARDEN,,.:..~. Plebe Deliv~ · ~ ~For Yo~r Irfforma'~ion Q ¢o~clentlal 5/7/99 Attu: Charles S. Martin, Chairman of Board of Supervisors County Office Building 401 Mdntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Mr. Martin [3OA RD OF SUPERVISORS I urge you on May 12, 1999 to vote FOR building a road over the Honeymead Dam for the following reasons: 1. An affirmative Board of Supervisors vote supports the actions and recommendation passed by the Albemarle County Planning Commission on October 27, 1998. 2. The construction of a road over the Holleymead Dam follows the original plan prepared by the Planning Commission for the Forest Lakes communities. This planning document has been made available to each and every Forest Lakes home buyer at time of property purchase. My wife and I have wa/md many years for the construction of an additional access from the Forest Lakes South community to the Forest Lakes North section that did not require the hazardous Route 29 travel. 3. A Board of Supervisors vote for a road over the Honeymead Dam supports the Forest Lakes Community Association vote cast on March 4, 199~ by home owners in favor of building the road over the dam. Despite "hard lobbying" by a minority against this road construction, the F0~est Lakes Community Association vote cast met quorum requirements and failed to obtain the 75% required to defeat the construction over the Holleymead Dam. 4. Much attention has been focused by the lobby against the Holleymead Dam road on the additional traffic that could be redirected, specifically the potential for increased traffic past the Sutherland and Holleymead Schools. While I do not deny traffic may increase in this area, I do not feel the traffic increase has to pose a safety problem for these schools. There exists a multitude of traffic control measures that can be exercised to assure safety. I take this concern, however, very seriously as I now have girls 5, 8, and 10 years of age that will be attending the Sutherland School. In dosing, I urge you to vote FOR building a road over the Holleymead Dam and to follow the recommendations of the Planning Commission and the wishes of the Forest Lakes Community residents as expressed in their March 4, 1999 vote. Do not bow to the hard lobbying and highly vocal wishes of the few that are against the road construction. Sincerely, Lori J. Strauss (spouse) Indian laurel Iload $:. 22911-§ 47 April 23, 1999 Board Of Supervisors 401 Mclntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Supervisor Representative: I urge you to vote against building a road over the Hollymead Dam.

Charlottesville, VA 22902 8©4RD OF SUPERVISORS 1830 Steeplechase Run Charlottesville, VA 22911 May 6, 1999 Dear Mr. Martin, Rarely do I get emotionally involved in the planning of Albemarle development, but I must speak out against the Forest Lakes road over the dam issue. I join the majority of the area homeowners and earnestly request that this proposal be defeated. All the issues have been presented but the most obvious is that of our children's safety and the high increase in traffic that will result - school related as well as the many commuters that will avoid 29 traffic by using this new "bypass". Many children. including my daughter (and adults) use that current walk and bike path - one of the remaining safe havens they have to travel unafraid to/from school. Installing this road wiIl also significantly alter the peacefulness and fabric of this community. That road was never intended. When I was on the FLCA board of directors four years ago, I remember Steve Runkle distinctly saying that he would never support this idea and that the dam would be "soon" deeded to the association. I discussed this with him personally. Now here we go. The community at large - Forest Lakes North, Forest Lakes South and Hollymead does not support this nor want it. I have yet to talk to anyone who is in favor of the dam. Yet due to a FLCA bylaw technicality (originally w[itten by FLA, I might add), our majority vote was "defeated". You have the results of the studies. There is no support for this except more cramped development. PLEASE, for the sake of our community - deny this proposal. Thank you for yOUr time. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS May 3, 1999 Charles S. Martin, Chairman Board of Supervisors 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 0 5-'i O-5 9~,'i 0: l~, ~: iRt?Vi', Dear Mr. Martin: I understand that there is an issue coming before the Board of Supervisors concerning a proposal to construct a road over the dam connecting Forest Lakes North to the Hollymead Subdivision. I urge you to vote against any proposal for building a road over the dam. The additional ~traffic near the Southerland and Hollymead schools, just to accommodate'the community, will surely create additional safety issues for the schools and residents. But more importantly, the additional "through" traffic siPhoned off of Rt. 29 during the morning and evening peak hours, as commuters seek escape from the Rt. 29 slowdowns, will be unbearable for the schoOls and neighborhoods. No amount of speed bumps and other slowdown measures will stem the impulses of drivers seeking a time advantage by bypassing Rt. 29 traffic from the airport to Forest Lake South. Please continue to use our tax dollars wisely. Avoid the dam road construction and it's on-going maintenance. Support the interests of the Forest Lakes and Hollymead residents, and the children from. other areas that attend these schools. Thanks for your consideration.

Smyth, MD 2673 English Oaks Circle Charlottesville, VA 22911 April 27, 1999 Charles Martin Board of Supervisors County Office Building 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Dear Mr. Martin: Please do not vote to build a road over the Hollymead Dam. Traffic past the schools on narrow Powell Creek Drive is already congested in the mornings. I was among the large majority of Forest Lakes voters who sent in a ballot opposing this option for outlet from the new Springridge development. Our sentiment is clear and we will appreciate your representing our interests. Thank you.

This will bring additional traffic to Powell Creek Drive in front of Hollymead Elementary and Sutherland Middle Schools, causing new safety_ concern, for our children. Powell Creek Road is very narrow now and was not designed to carry additional traffic. Them is no room to widen the road without causing undue hardship to the Powell Creek Drive residents. Sincerely, Barbara and Bob Fehse Forest Lakes South '~i~D OF SUPERVISORS ~,C~&RD OF SUPERVISORS 8 May 1999 Ms. Thomas, Ms. Humphris, Mr. Bowerman, Mr. Perkins, and Mr. Marshall: Think back several years ago to when a small child, right here in Charlottesville, was r-un over by her school bus because the bus driver couldn't see her crossing in front of the bus. This was a tragedy for two reasons: Not only was the life of a small child lost, but after she died, it was clear that her death cOuld have been prevented by installing a simple metal arm on the front of the bus. With 20/20 hindsight we all know that it is a must that every school bus be equipped with one of these safety arms. If anybody ever suggested that we not install the arms, so that we could save a few dollars, we would be quick to explain that any money saved would never make up for the loss of life it could lead to. I'm afraid if we build a road over the Hollymead Dam that one day we will look back with 20/20 hindsight and see that had we been more forward thinking, we could have saved the life of a child. With 20/20 hindsight it will be so clear that encouraging additional automobile traffic in front of a school zone just didn't make any sense. I understand that in your position as Albemarle County Supervisors you must weigh the pluses and minuses of any situation and do what you believe best for the public as a whole. In the case of the Hollymead Dam, I see a lot more negatives then positives. I don't agree that reducing the traffic on Route 29 is a good trade-off against the safety of our children. I understand that part of the project would be "traffic calming" measures, but I have little faith that traffic will be calm enough. Consider that in Forest Lakes North there is a prominent stop sign at the comer of Timberwood Boulevard and Timberwood Parkway. This intersection is the biggest intersection in Forest Lakes North and everybody who lives in Forest Lakes North knows that right at this intersection there are often pedestrians and cyclists, not to mention other vehicles. Yet, a large percentage of Forest Lakes North residents ignore this stop sign. Now, if Forest Lakes North residents can't even pay attention to an important stop sign in their own neighborhood, why would anyone believe that drivers going through the Hollymead school zone are going to slow down? I urge you to vote against the road over the Hollymead Dam. We stand to lose a lot more than we can gain if we build this road. Respectfully, ~ Eric B.

MAY 12 lggg 18:55 FR LEXIS LAW ~UBLISHING 884 B?2 765~ TO 92g~800 F.0~/0~ First and. foremost thank you for allowing me thc opportunity to address the board. I am here tonight to speak regarding the wad over the Dam in the Forest Lakes North community. I am not just speaking as a homeowner/taxpayer, but also as an educator and mother. As a taxpayer, we moved 'to the area itu October. We looked au many different communities, but what sold us on Forest Lakes North was the fact that is was not a thorou~ht'arc to other deveiopmen~s or roads, l-Ias we had any idea this was a poss/bihty we would not have bought a home in Forest Lakes. We chose Forest Lak~ because of the fact that is was closed off from the Route 29 traffic. In the past we lived on a street wher~ it had a lot of traffic. It would take ilve minutes or more just to be able to pull out of the driveway. With the added traffic on Timberwood this could be true for all the ms/dents who live in the Steeplechase, ~mber~eld, and Cove Point subdivisions. Not to mention the inherent dan!~er it places our middle school and hi~,h school children in, as this is where they load the busses. As an educator I am constantly concerned for my students safety. We always need to ask, "how can we protect our children, how can we look out for their ssfety?" If the road over the Dam is put in we will drastically jeopardizing file safety of our students who attend Sutherland Middle School and Hollymead Elementary School, simply because of the increased amount oi' traffic that will be tmvelin~ the Dam road. As a mother I plead to you to put yourself in our shoes as parents concerned for our children's safety. I cannot protect my child from random act of violence, but I can make myself heard'about a road the county and developer wants so they can adhere to their comprehensive plan to connect subdivisions. This plan is a blatant disrcgard for safety. I ask you to stop and' think as a parent would. Unfortunately it always takes an accident to make people aware of the importance of an issue. I hope a child I~ettinl~ hit by a car is not the scenario needed to make you realize thc danl~cr children arc l~oinl~ to bc put in with that roa4. ~,~ ~ TOTAL PAGE.

The negatives will far outweigh any benefits of putting a road over the dam. This development will not only jeopardize the safety of the children at the elementary and middle schools but will jeopardize the safety of the families living on Powell Creek Drive. We, the families with children on Powell Creek Drive, already are overburdened with 1,800 vehicles passing by our front door everyday. If the road is extended over the dam, that traffic count would inevitably increase and force many families to reconsider their living environments.
