STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: YOLANDA HIPSKI APRIL 11,1995 MAY 10, 1995 (SP 94-40) KESWICK CORPORATION AND KESWICK CLUB, L. P. APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to amend condition 2 of SP 94-07 Keswick Corporation in order to allow a larger pool area (up to 6,500 square feet) and to expand this use onto Parcel 9A of Tax Map 80. A total of approximately 17.505 acres shall be devoted to this use. (See Attachment A). PETITION: Keswick Corporation and Keswick Club, L. P. petition the Board of Supervisors to amend condition 2 of (SP 94-07) Keswick Corporation for a swim, golf tennis or similar athletic facility on a total of 149.185 acres zoned RA, Rural Area. Property, described as Tax Map 80 Parce18Z (a portion) and 9A, is located on the east side of the intersection of Route 744 and Route 731 and on the southeastern quadrant of Club Drive/Route 731 (see Attachment B). Character of the Area: A portion of the property contains existing tennis courts, an vacant storage yard and two office buildings. Approximately one-half of the property is wooded with . mature trees. There is a pond and a dwelling unit located on Parce19A currently used by the Keswick staff. Plannin~ and Zonint: History: This property has been subject to many legislative acts. The most applicable action is (SP 94-07) Keswick Corporation approved on May 18, 1994 by the Board of Supervisors (See Attachment C). SUMMARY: The previous Special Use Permit did not include Parcel 9A. This application will expand into this parcel and will bring the improvements closer to properties located west of the Keswick development. Given this potential, staff recommends that the club house, the pool; etc remain on the eastern side of the pond located on Parcel 9A (this is the applicant's proposal) so as to maintain a buffer to properties to the west. Staff has reviewed this application for compliance with Section 31.2.4.1. Given the development shall remain on the eastern side of the existing pond and that the applicant must comply with criteria established under 5.1.16, this proposal should not be of substantial detriment to adjacent properties. Given staff approval of a site development plan, this use should be in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance. 1 e e - RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff is unable to identify any negative issues for this request. Staff opinion is that the proposed use is consistent with Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and therefore, staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions (including staff approval of the site plan): Recommended Conditions of Approval: 1. Compliance with SP-92-59 Keswick Acquisition Corporation and SP 85-54 Tom J. Curtis, Jr.; 2. The clubhouse shall not exceed 6,250 square feet, the viewing stand shall not exceed 2,000 square feet, accessory buildings shall not exceed 5,200 square feet and the pool shall not exceed 6,300 square feet; 3. Construction of the clubhouse and open air pavilion and all necessary improvements associated therewith, including required parking, is extended to commence not later than five (5) years from approval of SP-94-07; 4. Access for Tax Map 80 parcel 9A, shall be onto Route 731; and 5. All improvements related to this special use permit shall be located on the eastern side of the pond located on Parcel 9A only. ------------------------ ATTACHMENTS: 1 - Applicant's proposal 2 - Location map 3 - Staff Report and Action Letter for (SP 94-07) Keswick Corporation A:\KESCLUB.RPT 2 1\ ø: ! ~ .5 z .. 0 11 I:J '" 2 0< ¡¡¡ it IIJ > ~ \ ¡:: 0 g :> 't'- ~ t- o< II: Z !!!

Keswick COrDoration - On April 14, 1993, the Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to reduce the front setback from 25 feet as follows: Building 1 to 21 feet; Building 2 to 5 feet: Building 3 to 10 feet Two of these buildings are "office buildings 1 and 2". COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This site is not located in a designated growth area, but is locateq in Rural Area II. The use, while not a rural area use called for in the Comprehensive Plan, is pre-existing. SUMHARY AND RECOMHEHDATION: The previous special use permit plan identified the proposed area as "Future club expansion - not approved at this time" (see Attachment E). This proposal will neither increase the maximum number of golf members nor expand the maximum number of suites or guest rooms. The applicant proposes locating an· auxiliary clubhouse, pool and two new tennis courts in two phases. All activities related to this permit shall be on Tax Map 80, Parcel 8Z. e There is an existing driveway serving the dwelling on Parcel 9A. Parcel 9A was included as part of SP-92-59 Keswick Acquisition Corporation for the golf course and is located southwest of this site.. The approved plan for SP-92-59 showed Parcel 9A accessing Club Drive through this area. The applicant now wishes to retain the existing access. The sketch plan was reviewed by the S~të Review Committee. Final parking calculations can not be determined due to no final determination of recreational area. staff shall not approve any site plan that does not meet all Zoning Ordinance requirements. The applicant proposes a public address system. Current provision under Section 5.1.16(c) state: "The sound from any radio, recording device, public address system or other speaker shall be limited to forty· (40) decibels at the nearest residential property line;" The Zoning Department is reviewing potential new noise ordinances. The applicant shall comply with current as well as any future noise restrictions. e Staff has reviewed this application for compliance with Section 31.2.4.1. The nearest affected residential property not subject to Keswick special permits shall be buffered by Fairway #9 and wooded areas. Therefore, this proposal should not be of substantial detriment to adjacent properties. Given that the 3 Ì' [ATTACHMENT ~ e existing vegetation along state Route 731 shall remain, the character of the district should not change. Given staff review and approval of a site plan, this use should be in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance. Therefore, staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions (including staff approval of site plan): RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OP APPROVAL: 1. compliance with SP-92-59 Keswick Acquisition corporation and sp-a5-54 Tom J. Curtis, Jr.; 2. The clubhouse shall not exceed 6,250 square feet, the viewing stand shall not exceed 2,000 square feet, accessory buildings shall not exceed 5,200 square feet and the pool shall not exceed 3,500 square feet. ---------------- ATTACHMENTS: A -Location Map B -Applicant letter and 11 x 17 reduction C -sp-a5-54 Action letter D -SP-92-59 Action letter e E -Sketch Plan e 4 ALBEMARLE 64 cour-.. .

Mrs. Yolanda Hipski Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Planning and Community Development 401 Mcintire Road Charlottesville, Va. 22901 RE: SP 94-07 Pavilion II Dear Yolanda: e On February 28, 1994 Keswick Corporation submitted an application to amend SP-92- 58 to allow for the reconstruction of 5 tennis courts, the construction of a swimming pool and club house facility on the south side of Country Club Drive adjacent to the existing Keswick Club tennis facilities (part of TMP 80-8Z). These improvements are being planned as a supplement to the existing Keswick Club and to ultimately serve the proposed 9 hole golf course expansion. A schematic representation of the proposed improvements was submitted with our application. I am submitting herewith an additional hard line schematic which addresses such issues as setbacks and parking requirements which were discussed during the site review meeting. . As you know from our many discussions, the final plans for these improvements have not yet been developed. We have submitted this application, as required by the Zoning Administrator, to open this issue to the public forum and to obtain from the Commission and Board a ruling concerning the appropriateness of this land use in this district and more specifically a ruling that " such use will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, that the character of the district will not be changed thereby and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance, with the uses permitted by right in the district.... and with the public health, safety and general welfare." (Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance 31 :2.4.1) Upon approval by the Board of this proposal we will submit a site development plan for further review by the site review committee. The applicant is hesitant to expend substantial resources on final plans until the general proposed land use has been deemed to be appropriate. e @ [ATTACHMENT ~ ;; I þ. I ATTACHMENT B I - e Please keep in mind that the application drawing is a schematic .and for illustrative purposes only. The exact location of the proposed improvements are subject to change but will obviously conform to all applicable ordinance requirements and conditions imposed upon the applicant by the Board of Supervisors. Notwithstanding the above I intend herein to make every effort to address, at this stage of planning, the concerns of the site review committee and to document our planning justification for the proposed use. We appreciate having had the opportunity to meet with the site review committee and to be aware of their comments early in the planning process. Planning Justification The proposed Keswick Club improvements are situated on TM 80 parcel8Z. This parcel has been utilized for club uses such as tennis, food service and club entertainment since the early years of the old Keswick Country Club. During construction of Keswick Hall and Keswick Club and up to the present time the general area of the proposed use has been utilized for construction staging, parking and staff offices. The area remains in a somewhat disorderly state and is certainly in need of improvement. The approval of SP 94-07 would allow Keswick Corporation to embark on the final planning stage of what we feel to be improvements necessary for the long term success of Keswick Club. e From the early stages of marketing of Keswick Club it became apparent that more of a family orientation for a portion of the Club would be important to realize original membership projections. It was also realized that this must be accomplished without compromising the existing atmosphere which so many of our members have come to enjoy. In short, a higher level of diversification Qf recreational activities would enhance the overall desirability and-quality of the Club. Many families desire a first rate recreational facility which can be enjoyed by the entire family; a place where children can become involved in organized athletic endeavors under qualified supervision during the summer months. As you are also aware there are tentative future plans for a 9 hole golf course expansion in close proximity to the proposed improvements. During the development of our Master Plan it was apparent that the area to the south of Country Club Drive and adjacent to the existing tennis facilities would be ideal for additional leisure facilities associated with the Club and this was noted on our original application plan. It certainly makes sense, given the time that has lapsed since our original application and from a long-range planning standpoint, to obtain approvals for the ultimate land use for this area now so as to avoid any future misunderstandings. The schedule for, and, in fact, need for some of these facilities will of course be dependant upon market conditions. What is clear now however is that there is an immediate need for the swimming pool and perhaps some additional tennis. We would like to begin construction of the swimming pool as soon as is practicable. e I ÅTTACHMENT ~ I _ - I ATTACHMENT B I - e An analysis of the land use in the area immediately adjoining the proposed use indicates a high level of compatibility with the proposed use. The land to the west and across SR 731 is owned and occupied by The Keswick Hunt Club and is currently being used for the kenneling of fox hounds and club related entertainment facilities. The area to the north and across Country Club Drive is owned and occupied by Keswick Hall, a 48 room country inn. The area to the south is owned by Keswick corporation and is being used as staff housing. There are three residential lots which adjoin TMP 80-8Z but are not in the immediate vicinity, with the residences being some 600 feet from the proposed use and well protected by a wooded buffer. It is therefore the opinion of the applicant that the proposed use will not be at all detrimental to the immediate neighborhood or the district and will in fact be a significant new improvement to the community. Response To Site Review Comments 1. This department is concerned about noise levels created by radios, public address system related to the tennis courts. Will there by any loudspeakers, amplification, etc? There is no loud speaker system contemplated, only a minimal PA system for paging purposes. e 2. Please describe, in writing, activities expected in the clubhouse. Will there be a conference/ball room area? How large will the restaurant be? What will be the hours be? Plans for the club house have not been finalized. There possibly will be changing rooms, ,a low key snack bar and beverage operation, a meeting room and fitness room. 3. Section 5.2. 16 (supplemental regulations) of the Zoning Ordinance does not allow pools, aprons, filters, etc. located 75 feet from the property line or 125 feet from 8: residential use. There is a dwelling located on Tax Map 80, Parcel9A which appears to encroach the 125 foot setback. As I understand, this structure is for erñ()lgyees of Keswick Inn. Please show this building, and the distance to the pool, apron and fflter and state the use on the sketch. If needed, the Planning Commission may m~this set setback. Our schematic drawing shows that it is possible to meet all setback requirements. 4. Parking does not appear adequate. Provide adequate parking per Zoning comments. You may be able to use the employee parking to the east. If so, provide a pedestrian link. e ~:<./:: ~.~~ii'" ..': / ~ ,~" .: ~/ ::. .¡:.; ..>::.

' e STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: YOLANDA IDPSKI APRIL 11, 1995 MAY 10, 1995 (ZMA 94-19) VIRGINIA LAND TRUST Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to rezone 1 0.890 a~res from RA, Rural Area to R-4, Residential. The applicant has proposed a plan with this rezoning which provides a to~ of 30 lots (See Attachment A). Petition: Virginia Land Trust petitions the Board òf Supervisors to rezone 10.890 acres from Rural Areas, RA to R-4 Residential. Property, described as Tax Map 46 Parcel 31, is located on the West side of Route 649 approximately 1.5 miles east of Route 29 (See Attachment B). Character of Area: This property is currently wooded with mature vegetation. Jefferson Village is located to the west of this property and is zoned R-2, Residential. Properties located to the North, South and West are zoned RA, Rural Area. RECOMMENDATION: Staffhas reviewed this request for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval. e Pian nine and Zonine History: (SUB 94-045) Chesterfield Preliminary Plat: Request to create a total of five (5) lots on 10.89 acres. Since this property is located in the jurisdictional area for public utilities and is within a designated growth area, the applicant withdrew this request on March 31, 1994. Comprehensive Plan: This property is located in the Community of Hollymead and is recommended for low density (1 to 4 dwelling units per acre). The applicant proposes to limit the density to approximately 3 dwelling units per acre. This density is within the target range recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. The area on the eastern side of Route 649 and a portion of the area to the south are not located in a designated growth area. Areas adjacent to this property and within the growth area are recommended for low density (1 to 4 dwelling units per acre). The Bike Plan recommends a path on the southwestern side of Route 649 that will affect this property. As a result, the applicant agrees to reserve nine (9) feet of road frontage for a future bike path. e No road projects have been identified affecting this property. The Meadow Creek Parkway or any connectors to Meadow Creek are not proposed in locations that would affect this proposal. Although there is a sharp curve on Route 649 to the north of this project, there has not been any proposal to realign this curve. Also, given its more southern location, this property should not be significantly affected by any future realignment of Route 649. . 1 · .... OTHER STAFF COMMENT: e This rezoning will generate a total of 300 vehicle trips per day compared to 50 vehicle trips per day allowed by right. The Virginia Department of Transportation has indicated this development should not significantly impact the transportation infrastructure and that the entrance is adequate. Route 649 is considered tolerable by VDOT. VDOT recommends internal curb and gutter streets to which the applicant agrees. Historically, staff recommends provision of access to adjacent properties. In this case, the properties to the west are developed. The properties to the south are not in a designated growth area and should not experience significant development. The property to the north is undeveloped in the Growth Area. However, it is not a large parcel and although it would be desirable to have inter-connection, the lack of inter-connection should not be critical to the transportation system. This property is located in the jurisdictional area for public water and sewer. The applicant has obtained easements from the affected property owners who are willing to grant the needed easements in order to extend these utilities. The plan proposes double frontage lots. The applicant has designated a twenty foot landscaping area to address this design. Development Impact to Public Facilities: e At the request of the Board of Supervisors, the Planning staff reviews rezoning requests for the fiscal impact of public and transportation facilities. This analysis is limited to those rezonings that have some effect on facilities that are identified in our Capital Improvements Program (CIP) or Six Year Road Plan and have a cost associated with them. The analysis is based on the fair share determination of a particular development's impact on affected facilities. Staff must point out that this analys~s - is cursory, due to the lack of information on revenues attributable to this development. The cost outlined by staff only indicates the proportionate share of construction cost from the additional development generated by the rezoning over by-right development. The following are those facilities which will be affected by the rezoning request and have a cost associated with them: A. Schools Schools affected by this proposal which have a cost as identified in the CIP are: Albemarle High School Renovations $1,815,000 e Based on the additional students as estimated by multipliers currently used by the County, a total of35 additional elementary school students, 18 additional middle school students, and 16 additional high school students are anticipated. Costs attributable to this development based on the proportion of students is $17,061.00 or $568.70 per dwelling unit. 2 e . B. Parks and Recreation: This proposal is considered to be in the service area of the Rivanna Park ($143,144.00). Based on the proportionate impact to these facilities, the proportionate share cost of this project is $85.86 or $2.86 per dwelling unit. Consideration of the fiscal impact of the development needs to be balanced against consideration of the County's growth management policy and other County policies.. Excessive development exactions could have the effect of discouraging utilization of the holding capacity of area, and thus lead to accelerated development in the Rural Areas. SUMMARY: The density proposed is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Although adjacent properties are developed at a slightly lower density, staff opinion is that the plan proposes development at an acceptable level. The provision for a bike path is consistent with County plans. There are no proposed road projects which would affect this project. Physical development issues identified have been addressed. Staff anticipates submittal of a formal proffer which will address these issues as outlined in Katurah Roell's letter dated April 3, 1995. RECOMMENDED ACTION: e Based on the above findings and subject to the anticipated proffers, staff recommends approval. e ATTACHMENTS: A - Applicant's proposal B -Location Map A:\V ALAND.RPT 3 l- ! t J~ n~ "i.;:: ~..".;, v ~ ~ 2' ~ v ~ ~ IJ ~ " o "" ...

Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions: I,No alcohol sales; 2. A two-way travel area shall be designated in the area shown on Attachment C.

Sincerely, 1$// William D. Fritz Senior Planner wdf cc:Amelia McCulley Jo Higgins Ella Carey STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: s--s;. ,j 9s; OJ /(),.3-5' / WILLIAM D. FRITZ MAY 9, 1995 MAY 10, 1995 SP 95-08 - FAISON - CHARLOTTESVILLE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Applicant's Proposal: The applicant has submitted a detailed description of the proposed use (Attachment C). The Zoning Department was asked if the proposed use as described by the applicant would be permitted by-right as an indoor athletic facility. With the exception of the accessory games, pool tables, video games, air hockey, etc. the use would be permitted by right. (The other uses cited by the applicant, merchandise sales and food sales are permitted by right.) Therefore, this request has been pursued as a special use permit due to the activities which are accessory to the primary focus of the use. Petition: Faison - Charlottesville Limited Partnership petitions the Board of Supervisors to issue a special use permit to establish a commercial recreation establishment [25.2.2(1)] on approximately 12.6 acres zoned PD-SC, Planned Development Sho~ping Center and EC, Entrance Corridor Overlay District. Property, described as Tax Map' 61M, Section 12, ParcellC, is the location of Shoppers World. This site is located in the Rio Magi~terial District and is recommended for Community Service in Neighborhood 1. > " Character of the Area: This is the location of Shoppers World. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval. Plannin~ and Zonin~ History: The site plan for this site was approved in the 1970's as part of Shopper's World with various revisions since. Comprehensive Plan: This site is recommended for Community Service. This land use designation is intended to provide for a wide variety of uses. Table 46 on page 161 of the Comprehensive Plan provides a list of the typical primary uses for Community Service. This table states a typical primary use is recreational facility. Therefore, the proposed use may be considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the area. REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff has reviewed all commercial recreation activities involving a special use permit submitted since 1970. These facilities have been for a broad range of uses including, but not limited to, skating rinks, dance halls, arcade, billiard center, indoor tennis, miniature golf courses, and driving ranges. From the analysis of comments made in past reviews, the major issues involved for these recreational activities have been impact on residential areas and impact on schools (site suitability has been an issue in some cases, but is addressed by the requirements of a site plan). 1 Staff has also reviewed traffic impact and security. Impact on Residential Areas The proposed area for the use is in the vacant area directly to the north of Advance Auto. The Berkeley subdivision is located adjacent to the west of this site. As the proposed use in entirely within the existing building, no additional visible impact on adjacent residential areas is anticipated. Currently the site has limited impact on Berkeley. As the shopping center has no entrance on roads serving Berkeley, no additional traffic is anticipated through Berkeley. Sidewalks are to be constructed on Route 29 during the Rt. 29 improvements. This may encourage/support pedestrian traffic to Shoppers World from Berkeley by way of Dominion Drive. Steep slopes and a stream behind Shoppers World should pn~vent pedestrian "short-cuts" through Berkeley. Staff opinion is that increased foot traffic will hpve 11 minimal affect on Berkeley. i: . ~Ir: Impact on Schools The nearest school to this site is the Agnor-Hurt School. This school is located more than 0.6 miles from Agnor-Hurt. Although sidewalks exist between Shoppers World and the school, due to distance staff opinion is that this use will not impact the school. Traffic Impact The Virginia Department of Transportation has reviewed this request for off-site impacts and stated, "The existing transportation network should support this development". Issues of on-site traffic impact are discussed later in this report. Security Informal discussion with Lee Catlin of the police department did not identify any increased concerns of security at this site due to the proposed use. Staff reviews special use permit requests for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1. Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. 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 adiacent property. The proposed use will occur within the existing building and no additional impacts on adjacent property are anticipated. This use generates no unusual odor, light or sound. that the character of the district will not be changed thereby. 2 This use can be anticipated in the Planned Development Shopping Center (PD-SC) District. As stated above this use will be in the existing building, therefore no change in the character of the PC-SC or Entrance Corridor Districts is anticipated. and that such use will be in harmony with the pur:pose and intent of this ordinance. Staff is of the opinion that this use is in harmony with the purpose ~d intent of the ordinance. This use will provide convenient recreational facilities. In additioI}, thj~ type of use is listed as a typical primary use in the Community Services designation of the Corþprehensive Plan. . with the uses permitted by right in the district. The majority of the usès proposed are permitted by right. Approval of this request will not affect permitted uses on this or other sites. with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance. Section 5.0 contains no additional regulations. and with the public health. safety and general welfare. Staff has identified the internal traffic patterns in the shopping center as a potential negative factor. The area in front of the building is designated as loading zone/no parking adjacent to the building and a one-way travel/fire lane provides access from the north to the south. This area can be re-marked to provide for two-way travel. (A travel lane can serve as a fire lane). The orientation of the parking was approved with the original site plan for this site. Staff has met with the new owner of this development prior to submittal of this application and discussed methods to improve on-site circulation. Further discussions with the owner indicate that additional review of design options is occurring. Staff opinion is that re-marking of the travel way adjacent to the building as a two-way travel area will improve the traffic flow of the site. The proposed location for this use is on the north end of the shopping center. Shopping center traffic flows through this area going to and coming from Berkmar Drive. In addition, traffic occasionally uses the shopping center as cut-through from Berkmar Drive to the entrance on Route 29 which serves this shopping center. Traffic has been observed moving at higher speeds through this area ofthe shopping center. All pedestrian traffic to the proposed use will have to cross the travel aisle in front of the building. As this use will involve children this is a concern. Staff has investigated the use of speed bumps to slow traffic. Drivers tend to avoid speed bumps where possible and staff opinion is that placing speed bumps in the travel aisle would tend to encourage drivers to cut across the parking area avoiding all travel aisles. Signage could also be used, although signage alone may not be a significant deterent. Staff has discussed the possibility of a site plan amendment to redesign the parking layout for the entire shopping center. The owner of the site is not willing to submit a revised parking layout at this time, but is considering various alternatives. 3 SUMMARY: í Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to this re,quest: 1. Activity is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (recommended for Community Service). 2. The proposed use makes use of existing building area and no new construction or additional impacts on adjacent property will occur. 3. The activity which requires a special use permit is accessory to uses which are permitted by right. Staff is unable to identify any other requests which share this criteria. Staff has identified the following factor as unfavorable to this request: 1. The general parking layout of the shopping center is less than desirable and creates potential pedestrian/vehicular conflict at the proposed shopping center location of this use. Staff opinion is that with a condition requiring re-marking of the travelway in front of the building to provide for two-way travel the on-site circulation will be improved. A more comprehensive revised parking layout plan may address the potential pedestrian/vehicular conflict, however, the applicant is not prepared to submit that at this time. As the primary uses associated with this use can occur by-right without review, staff is not recommending a condition of special use permit approval requiring a revised parking layout plan approval before this use can begin. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of SP-95-08 subject to the following conditions: RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. No alcohol sales; 2. A two-way travel area shall be designated in the area shown on attachment C. ---------------- ATTACHMENTS: A - Location Map B - Tax Map C - Applicant's information D - Letter from the public ------------------------------------------------------ A:\SP9508.RPT 4 j r: l~/ ( r 1""--/ , :,I~~] . ti"'......fH §__ ,:. ·CW.'.

To be more specific we are developing a business that caters to the 2 to 12 year old market with an adult friendly atmosphere. At this point in time we have not decided on the exact name for the business, but we will inform ~ou as soon as we can. The basic operations of our business are outlined below: 1) Playgroundu-a large collection of tubes, balls, nets, arid pads that are interconnected in a type of maze that provides children an extensive amount of creative and discovery oriented play in a safe environment. 2) Games--a portion of our space will be devoted to coin operated skill games such as skee-ball, alligator smash, tennis ball shoots, etc. Depending upon their score, the children will aquire redemption tickets at each game that they can exchange for small prizes at the redemption counter. For teenagers and adults that accompany the children that visit our facility, we intend to have some pool tables and air hockey type games. 3) Parties--Birthday parties are a signifigant por~ion of our business. We will be constructing 3 or 4 party rooms that arejused on a revolving basis to accomodate parties of about 10-12 children. (': IV 4) Merchandising--a small portion of our business will be devoted to the merchandising of clothing such as hats, t-shirts, jackets, and other items that will include our logo. 5) Food-- we intend to have a snack bar for the facility. We will have a basic menu of hot dogs, pizza, drinks and a variety of other items. Although I have briefly described our basic business functions, I will elaborate on some issues that I feel may be of importance. Since our primary customers are children we take the issue of security very seriously. When a child enters our facility he or she will be issued a numbered tag that will be worn on their wrist or a tag for their shirt. A matching numbered tag is issued to the responsible adult that accompanies that child. It is our intention that no child will be able to leave our facility without a staff member verifying that he or she is with the correct adult by matching the numbered tags. As a result of this system of security, we do not allow adults or teenagers into our facility unless they are coming in with children. We charge an admission charge for the children between the ages of 2 to 12, but the adults or teenagers that accompany ATrACHMENT C - 2 of 3 teenagers that accompany the children can enter at no charge. As a further security measure, we are intending to do background checks on all of our staff members for the protection of the children. With regards to safety within our facility, we will be purchasing the safest possible play equipment available within the industry. We are also intending to provide basic first aid training to our employees to familiarize them with how to respond to basic medical needs in case they are needed. With regards to the games that I mentioned in our basic business description, I want to give further explanation. We have not determined exactly how many coin operated games that we will have in our facility, but it is my first impression that we may have about 20 to 25 such games. As I mentioned, most of our games will be skilled oriented games such as skee ball, alligator smash, tennis ball shoots, etc. I do riot want to say that we will not have "video" games, but I can assure you that we will not be installing games that are extremely violent or sexually explicit. We are endeavoring to provide a wholesome family oriented atmosphere where parents can feel comfortable bringing their children. Justification: (II." I ,.¡Il We feel that there is a strong need for this type of business in our community. As a parent of children ages five and seven, I do not believe that we have enough entertainment options for families. While our facility particularly caters to the younger children instead of teenagers, it is still a place where the whole family can spend time together. It is particularly useful during the winter months when other traditional outdoor activities such as soccer and baseball are not readily available. Indoor family fun centers operate in many cities across the country and we feel that it would work well in our community. In most examples of similar businesses, we have seen them in shopping centers like Shoppers World. It is a very fun, safe, and secure atmosphere for children and their families to spend time together. A'ITACHMENT D 2208 Dominion Drive Charlottesville.

Doug Lowe t The proposed establishment of a family oriented fun center cân be very supportable and cause no concern except for the way traffic circulates within the shopping center. I believe this Special Use Permit request, legally titled in the name of the new owners of Shoppers Vlorld, offers Albemarle County government an opportunity to improve the safety of every visitor to every business in the shopping center with appropriate conditions of approval of SP 95-08. Historically, when Shoppers World was developed, it was deficient in the number of parking places provided. A Site Plan was marked by then Planning Chief John Humphrey showing travel aisles and directional arrows as well as parking places which could not be allowed. The arrows were marked on the ground and can still be seen as faint marks where they have not been obliterated by patchwork paving. The provision of a fire lane in front of the main wing which faces Route 29 means that there is only one travel lane in front of these buildings, with the arrow pointing from north to south. This one way single lane continues to the south wing in front of Fresh Fields. If a person travels from the Berkmar Drive entrance to Fresh Fields in the travelway as marked, they are most likely to meet someone head-on, with one car or the other having to dodge to the fire lane or the parking places. In fact, the only proper way to get from Fresh Fields or McDonalds to the golf or paint shop is to cross the entrance drive and go in front of Curley's, the alternative being to drive across parking places. Parents bringing children to the fun center by way of Route 29 will need to use a parking aisle to the right of the main driveway in order to get to the center and many won't unless the parking lot and travel aisles are better marked. As a long-time resident of the area next to Shoppers World I am pleased to see the shopping center become more viable. I truly don't believe it is obstructive or punitive to ask that internal traffic improvements be part of the conditional approval of this Special Use Permit, especially when the proposed use is designed to attract families with small children. I encourage each member of the Albemarle County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors to take a look at the situation, and hope that the County Staff will suggest some simple improvements for the safety of the patrons of Shoppers World. Thank yoµ for considering my suggestion. cc. ¡O-&n"U¿h a-.rL/ru/.¿Oc{J~ t;3(Ja-<.d. &j e»'/..YU-VV(;;J.ð1.ò Sincerely, ,.j ,7 (', I \_-_ _-~, ):1 L '-t ,J f tT....... way travel Area Ovvv _ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ATTACHMENT C - 3 of 3 ;1/ '1 1995 ALb -IWirIL . \iUUNTY ING OF )ARTMENT " , , , , , , \ , \ " " " , , , , NOINIv.¡OQ ---~.~--.- .. g c Cd () Q) C\ w of-' t- :J 0 en a: en ::i ø . , ;,C I V ED
