Ms. Daria Brezinski, a resident of Crozet, asked the Board to designate a task force to consider the construction of a skating park within one year. She asked the Board to immediately designate a location for skating in the Crozet area. Mr. Tucker indicated that Amy Smith is looking at this issue and will make a recommendation on how to proceed. That information will be forwarded to the Board when it is received. Mr. Jeffrey A. Leach, President of Foreign Language Services, presented a statement requesting the Board to amend Section 5.2.2.1.c. of the Zoning Ordi- nance in connection with the definition of "home occupation".

Letter dated September 6, 1994, from the Honorable Mitchell Van Yahres, Housing of Delegates, to the Honorable Walter F. Perkins, Chairman, re: "linked deposit" affordable housing initiative. Mr. Martin asked for more information on linked deposit. It sounds like a good idea and he thinks it is something the Board should discuss. Mr. Tucker said the Housing Coordinator is already looking into this. Staff will provide some additional information to the Board. Agenda Item No. 5.20. Memorandum dated September 21, 1994, from Robert W. Tucker, Jr., County Executive, re: VACo concerns on sentencing and parole reform. Mr. Perkins said he would present a statement on behalf of the Board at the meeting to be held on Monday, September 26, at Albemarle High School. Mrs. Thomas suggested the statement include the fact that income is derived from housing federal prisoners. This is an income source for many local facilities and if state prisoners are overcrowding the jails, that would decrease the number of federal prisoners and cut down on the income source. Mrs. Humphris said the statement should also address the problems jails are faced with due to overcrowding and that localities have no way to deal with the expanded number of prisoners.

Carey, do hereby certify that the foregoing writing is a true, correct copy of an ordinance unanimously adopted by the Board of County Supervisors at a regular meeting held on September 21, 1994. ld- {0 · . \,-~ , _2' /0 194 "''''.--- September 15, 1994 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board of Supervisors: When growing numbers of diverse people begin to live in close proximity to one another, the increasing possibility of conflicts of interest makes it both reasonable and necessary that a way should be found to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals and groups from infringement, thus creating a state of justice and peace. To this end governments have been invested by the people with power to enforce certain actions and to prohibit others, preserving everyone's rights by limiting everyone's freedoms to some degree. Zoning is one expression of this legitimate exercise of governmental power in a community. By zoning, the County government dictates the purpose(s) for which all land and buildings in the County may be used, thus limiting the free exercise of property rights by County citizens. This is done, we take it, in order to preserve for ourselves and our posterity a community which embodies a balance between our values of order and freedom, between group well-being and individual well-being. This is a noble goal, and, when achieved, saves us from the chaos of anarchy. There is another danger, however, which consists in upsetting the balance in the direction of unnecessary government infringement of individual rights and freedoms, resulting in injustice. Zoning is such a vital point for the preservation of these freedoms due to the simple fact that having a right necessitates having a place in which to exercise that right; religious people in the former Soviet Union had freedom of religion according to the paper Constitution--only there was no place on the map zoned for the exercise of that freedom. If the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, the power to control what happens where is a good place to begin our vigil. In light of the recent zoning and freedom issues raised by the Tom and Kathy Kuhlmann case, which received a hearing here on August 10th of this year, I would like to examine a County ordinance which I believe upsets the abovementioned balance in the overcontrolling direction, point out its inadequacies, and offer revisions which are both workable and fair. Section 5. 2. 2. 1. c. of the Albemarle County Code states: "There shall be no sales on the premises, other than items handcrafted on the premises, in connection with home occupation." Lest anyone accuse me of trying to fix something that ain't broke, let me point out, as Mr. Martin so astutely observed, that this home-based business issue could very well set precedents for similar cases in the future, and hence must not be treated as an issue isolated to the Kuhlmanns but as an issue which touches and will touch each and every resident of the County. Furthermore, as Mr. Martin correctly speculated, this issue affects far more people than I think you may realize, people who not only can and will make this an issue in the next election but who are not adverse to taking it before a court of law. Home-Based Businesses For some time now, the land of U.S. counties has been segregated into various zones according to use. The two that concern us here are commercial and residential. Commercial zones are necessary for many types of businesses; residential zones are desirable by many citizens. Let them continue to flourish. In their flourishing, however, let us have fair and equitable ordinances which protect the property rights of all citizens, including the right to dispose of property as we see fit--even within residential zones--when the salient effects of such activity are not noticeably different from the salient effects of other, less regulated activities. This means revising the ordinance in question for the following reasons: 2 First, living as we do in the American tradition of limited government defended by the likes of John Locke and our own Thomas Jefferson, we believe that life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness are sacred rights held by each citizen, and, moreover, that those rights end, and our responsibilities to our neighbor begin, where our actions impede our neighbor's free exercise of those same rights. But does the sale of items not hand-crafted on the premises constitute such an impediment to the free exercise of our neighbor's rights? It seems, rather, that the ordinance constitutes such an impediment by needlessly restricting the free exercise of those rights enumerated in the very first article of the Constitution of Virginia--"namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and liberty. II Such a strict zoning ordinance prevents the acquiring and possessing of property by means of certain home businesses which are not only harmless but even helpful to the community, thus limiting the liberty and happiness of the citizenry. Granted, the building a brick factory in my back yard or a smithy in my front yard would adversely affect the community. But the home-based businesses of today--even those dealing in products--are not those of yesteryear. Profoundly different business structures (multi-level marketing businesses, for example), new methods of operation (decentralized distribution, for example), and new tools and technology (computers, fax machines, and modems, for example) make many of the laws and ordinances which sought to protect neighborhoods from smokestacks and sizable staff more and more archaic. But if not by smokestacks and large numbers of personnel, then how, exactly, is my neighbor affected--Iet alone violated--if I transact business in my home (whether involving a service or a product)? Regular traffic, we are told, is the problem; it is of such a volume as to constitute a violation of our neighbors' rights. But this is not so. If the traffic were limited to one person per lifetime (certainly presenting no congestion problems), this would still be in violation of the strict County ordinance. Moreover, when we look to other activities in the community whose effects (including traffic) evidence no discernible differences from the effects of business transactions, we find an inequity. If my in-home business transactions bring forth no discernibly different effects in the community than do weekly Bible studies next door or a weekly fraternity party two doors down, what reason or justice can there be in placing a restriction on the first activity but not on the latter two? If you answer that some activities are given--and should be given--privileged status, and that religious activity is one of those, I heartily concur with you. Far be it from me to encourage bureaucratic regulation of religious activity, the freedom of which is dear to Americans and protected by the U.S. Constitution above either business or social gatherings. Nor am I asking that the County regulate social gatherings which do not violate the rights and freedoms of others. But is it reasonable or fair to regulate one activity more strictly than another when there is no salient, observable difference between the effects of those various activities on the community? Certainly we may give special protection to certain kinds of activities, but giving privilege to one activity does notjustify taking away all privilege from another activity. Moreover, if we are to rank. the three kinds of activities mentioned above, how can small business come below parties, which are at times not only riotous scenes of unlawful activity and burdensome traffic, but which bring little to no profit to the County? Are we really to believe that Dr. and Mrs. Kuhlmann's commercial activity (so lately rendered more difficult by the County), while involving less than ten people a week was nevertheless more disruptive than a weekly frat party? I think not. If such events as religious and social gatherings are allowed, and if there is no reasonable distinction between their effects and those of commercial activity, then my second point is that no distinction between them in zoning ordinances can be either reasonable or just. Thirdly, even within the realm of business the ordinance is inequitable. It is inequitable in the first place by drawing an arbitrary distinction between businesses which deal in goods and businesses which deal in services, prohibiting the sale of certain material 3 goods, while allowing services such as one-chair beauty shops. But what difference can really be made between selling such a service and selling a product? Certainly one's neighbors outside wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Perhaps you might say the inventory is a problem. But how does having inventory in one's house violate the freedoms of one's neighbors? Answer: it doesn't. Traffic? It need not generate any more traffic than a service, and perhaps even less. In the second place, the ordinance is inequitable in that it draws an even more arbitrary distinction between hand-crafted and manufactured goods. What salient difference can there be between selling a string of beads or a pot one handcrafted at home and one which was manufactured in California? Inventory again? But the jeweler and the potter have inventory. Perhaps traffic in the fonn of too many UPS deliveries? But don't many people have regular non-commercial UPS deliveries? Will you limit or prohibit them also? Moreover, don't the jeweler and the potter have deliveries to their homes for commercial purposes even? What's the salient difference then between selling hand-crafted items (whether haircutting or jewelry or pottery) and selling manufactured items in the home insofar as it affects anyone at all in the community in any conceivable manner? There is no material difference; therefore, there should be no distinction between them in the code. Fourthly, business at home is good for the family, not only in that it is, by and large, a more economical way to create wealth than traditional businesses, thus helping families financially, but it also provides a unique opportunity in our atomizing society for parents and children to interact with one another on a more regular basis than is otherwise possible. Such a situation is a boon for the psychological and emotional well-being of both--especially the children. Kathleen Christensen, director of the National Project on Home-Based Work in New York City says, "'The home is viewed as the perfect place for entrepreneurship. There are tax advantages, minimal capital needs and low overhead. And it seems ideal for mothers of young children,"'l who are thereby able to care for their own children on a more regular basis. And not just mothers: fathers, who are at last returning home to work in significant numbers for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, can now take on a more active role in raising the children. Unfortunately, governments do not always encourage such welcome and progressive changes: a Maryland woodworker and father "who worked at home to care for his three children, moved his business to West Virginia to avoid prosecution" such as that leveled against nearby communications consultants who ran a business out of their home.2 May we always protect and aid the family, the primary social unit of any civilization. Fifthly, is it reasonable to squelch activities which not only do not hurt the County but which actively help it? The free enterprise of home-based businesses not only stimulates economic growth, keeping more people off the public dole and increasing the overall wealth through economic interchange, but it also provides another source of tax revenue for the County. The ordinance is, pragmatically speaking, a foolish rejection of possible tax revenue, something I would never heretofore have suspected that the County would refuse. Sixthly, the ordinance is so vague as to render it either useless or dangerous. It is useless if we are looking for a clearly defined thing which is actually being prohibited. .What is "hand-crafted"? Are legal services hand-crafted? How about television repair? I have been told by Zoning that to have more than three people in my home per week for tutoring would be in violation of the code; I have been told by the Board of Supervisors that it would not be in violation of the code, since services are included under "hand- 1 "Mulling a Home Business? Tips to Help Plan the Leap," Chicago Tribune: May 10, 1992,6,9:3. 2 "Work and Family," Wall Street journal: July 13,1994, B11. · , 4 crafted," and thus protected from the ordinance. An ordinance should be clear enough so that the right hand and the left hand can have an easier time agreeing with one another. Furthennore, it must be clear enough so that the freedom of a citizen (to provide a service in-home, for example) is not dangerously contingent on the good graces of the present Board of Supervisors in their loose interpretation of "hand-crafted It ; for then the freedom might easily be taken away by the next Board, who can interpret it as differently as the Zoning office has in fact done. Seventhly, the cost of enforcing such an ordinance makes it prohibitively expensive, while the possibility of enforcing it makes it both haphazard and inimical to civil rights. First of all, how exactly would one enforce such an ordinance? Does the County intend to hire Anti-Residential Business Investigators to visit every home in the County to ascertain compliance? Could it even do so without unwarranted searches and seizures? Furthennore, when enforcement can only be haphazard, what will prevent some neighbors from reporting on people not because they are entrepreneurs in violation of the code, but because they are not of the "right" color, politics, religion, (fill in the blank)? How can civil rights be protected in such a situation? Lastly, as is the case in other issues, it is the law-abiding citizens who suffer from such an ordinance, not the outlaws; the outlaws will carry on the same as always, so if we can't or won't seek out and punish everyone engaged in such activity, how can it be morally defensible to punish only the honest? Eighthly, as mentioned earlier, there is a growing trend of people coming home to work. According to a recent survey by Link Resources, a New York market research finn, between 1989 and 1993 the number of Americans working at home jumped from 26.8 million to 41.1 million.3 This same finn "predicts that by the year 2000, people who own home-based businesses will represent one-third of the work force, working out of kitchens, attics, dens, garages and basements. "4 The times, they are a-changin', and retaining the present ordinance will not stop this movement toward home-based wealth- creation; it will only make the lives of more and more people (including County Supervisors) more and more difficult, and who needs that? New situations, including new business ideas and paradigms, call for new legislation. Let's join the 21st century commerciall y here in Albemarle County. Nineth and lastly, other local governments both in Virginia and in other parts of the country have no such restrictive legislation, but even encourage free enterprise. The village of Lynwood, Illinois; the city of Las Vegas, Nevada; Green County, Virginia; the cities of Santa Monica and Davis, California. Even previously tight-reined areas are loosening up; "as technology is allowing a greater number of people to work out of their dwellings, municipalities across the nation are reconsidering their restrictions on home businesses. "5 Compared with such progressive communities, Albemarle County is unduly strict in prohibiting free enterprise--indeed, the free enterprise of the small business person, the ordinary citizen. Surely the home of Thomas Jefferson can do better. In short, if the nature of the activity has no salient and discernible differences in effect from other activities which do not violate the freedoms of other citizens, and if the number of people coming to the home is not considered to be problematic in other, similar cases, then what, exactly, is the problem? Answer: the ordinance is the problem. It is unjust, unreasonable, economically disadvantageous to both entrepreneurs and the County, inimical the family, inequitable in its distinction between kinds of business, too vague, unenforceable, and out of sync with current economic trends and the corresponding laws of other local governments; consequently, it must be revised. 3 "There's No Place like Home," Los Angeles Times: August 26, 1993, E3. 4 "Mulling." 5 "Towns Trying to Cope with Home-business Boom," Chicago Tribune: September 7, 1993: 1,1:1. · . 5 I would suggest the following revision: that business transactions in residential zones be as allowable as any other kind of free activity which does not violate the rights of others. Regarding the issue of regular traffic, if this is to be regulated at all, let it be a reasonable limit. Three per week (the number that Zoning reported to me as the limit) is unreasonable; it is so low below the point of noticeability that the total harm it incurs is far greater for the entrepreneur than the total peace it engenders for others. A reasonable traffic limitation, along with the present ordinances about no external noticeability of the business, no undue noise, etc. would accomplish all the good goals at which the ordinance aims without infringing on the liberty and property rights of small businesspersons. The Integrated Community There is, additionally, a more long-term solution which we must consider, however, and that is the integrated community of what is known as an "overlay district." Even a cursory tour of our downtown area of Charlottesville will reveal an earlier period in which business and home-life lived comfortably side by side. Nor is the wide-spread segregation of these activities the case any longer in several progressive communities. Renowned architects Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk have designed several functional and attractive communities in which both commercial and residential areas are integrated. Seaside, North Carolina is one such community.6 At present the planning commission in Crozet is discussing a plan for a similar community with Dr. Clemente Dithiene, a period lecturer at the University of Virginia. 7 In such a community, for example, the ground floor of a building might contain shops, the second floor offices, and the third floor apartments, while large and small houses, as well as businesses, houses of worship, schools, etc., might be situated among one another within an area a mile or less in radius. Such a community has several advantages over the recent business sector vs. residential pod design. First and foremost, the new design lends itself to the reintegration of American communities, which, by and large, have been in steady disintegration since the end of the Second World War; they create again the neighborhood feel characteristic of small-town America and certain sections of such cities as Philadelphia. Diversity is, happily, one of the characteristics that keeps our American society vibrant as well as an example of peaceful and ordered justice to the rest of the world; it can, nevertheless, be a source of social unrest. The interspersion of people who are different ethnically, economically, religiously, and politically lends itself structurally to the knitting together of the diverse American fabric; what has worked in the public school system and the military can work in the Integrated Zone. Familiarity breeds fondness at least as often as it breeds contempt. Secondly, they provide a support for the family, allowing care of the children to be more easily combined with earning a living; a man and woman whose home sits next to or above their business can nurture their own children much more easily, a noted benefit for the healthy development of the children if recent studies and most of human history are to be believed, as well as a personal and economic benefit for the parents, who form closer ties with their children and no longer need pay for extended hours of child-care. 6 See Seaside: Making a Town in America. Ed. by David Mohney and Keller Easterling. New York: Princeton Architectural Press: 1991. 7 Incidentally, see the piece on Crozet, "Program in American Urbanism, School of Architecture, University of Virginia," in Future Directions in American Urbanism: An Academic Perspective. Selected by Dripps, Planus, and Westfall. Charlottesville, VA: Second Street Gallery, 1991. · . 6 Thirdly, they allow the flourishing of small businesses, the traditional backbone of the American economy, the right of all free-born people, and a significant contributor to County tax revenue. Economic freedom and political freedom cannot long survive without one another; nor can a government forever support programs to "help" people who, if allowed and encouraged by incentives to do so, could take far better care of themselves. Let it be noted again that regardless of what we do as regards zoning, the burgeoning numbers of Americans coming home to work will continue to increase; better to work with history than against it in this case. Fourthly, as Mr. Perkins pointed out to me, some have argued that integrated communities cut down on crime. In traditionally segregated communities, houses are often left unattended all day, while businesses are left unattended all night. This escalates the risk of break-in and theft, which in turn escalates costs for owners, insurance companies, and courts and prisons. Integrated communities, on the other hand, have a much more constant exposure to the watchful eye of the citizenry, reducing the risk of crime and its personal and economic costs. Fifthly, the interspersion of the economically challenged among the wealthier members of society limits the formation of ghettoes. This not only hampers drug deals and violent behavior, but also makes us more aware of human need and puts us in more of a position to fill that need on a person-ta-person basis, surely the best way to do so from both a sociological as well as an economic point of view. Sixth and lastly, such neighborhoods allow easy and convenient transportation, allowing many to go to work, to the store, to school, to worship on foot or by bicycle, not only better preserving the environment and County roads, decreasing the risk of car accidents, and making daily access to public places easier for the elderly, the young, and the disabled, but also saving gas, as well as wear and tear on vehicles. For these reasons and others which cannot be analyzed in the brief time we have here, I ask that the Board of Supervisors carefully and advisedly consider adopting a third kind of zoning in the Comprehensive Plan on which it is presently working--the Integrated Zone, in which enterprise and home life might flourish more easily and productively in an emerging economic environment whose new and progressive nature calls for new and progressive planning. Old paradigms are not always the best paradigms. Albemarle County can be an example for the rest of the Commonwealth in riding the tide of change in a way which still retains cherished values while using new methods to productive ends. Summary In conclusion, I have proposed two complimentary courses of action for the Board, one short-term, one long-term: (1) that it revise the present restrictions on business transactions in Residential Zones to allow free enterprise under certain just and reasonable traffic limits; and (2) that it thoroughly investigate the option of an Integrated Zone in the Comprehensive Plan of Albemarle County. I thank the Board most sincerely for your thoughtful and open-minded consideration of these items. I believe their adoption can do nothing but enhance the quality of life here in Albemarle County and provide an example of good planning and development to the Commonwealth as a whole.

Under the proposed program, CGS will provide funding to pay partially the incremental capital CO&t ot certain high efficiency natural gas appliances and will accumulate gas consumption data at the installation sites. The data will be used to evaluate the cost effectiveness for the proposed pilot programs under tests mandated in Case No. PUE900070 to determine whether such programs should ultimately be made permanent. CGS's proposal to implement the pilot proqrams, however, i. conditioned upon Commission approval of the Company's request to defer the direct costs associated with the pilot programs. In support o~ its application, ccs state. that it has identified three conservation and load management programs for r..idential and small commercial markets. The three pilot programs will ba conducted to encourage the installation of high e~ticlency natural gas space heatinq and water heatinq equipment. ¡ ~SCC OFF I. of GEN.

For pilot program purposes, CGS will limit annual participation to 500 unit installations (with a cumulative participation goal of 1,000 units). The 500 annual installations are proposed to be targeted to both existing and new customers. CCS states that each of the proposed three programs will be offered for a period of two years from the date of commencement. The programs will provide one-time rebates as an incentive to encourage residential and small commercial customers to purchase high efficiency natural gas equipment instead of less efficient models. CGS asserts that the proposed pilot programs will allow the Company to obtain more accurate cost and performance data in oonductinq a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis to determine . whether to seek permanent program approval in Virginia. Further, the proqrams will reduce emissions and total resource anergy consumption by encouraging and assisting consumers to purchase high efficiency natural gas equipment rather than less efticient equipment. The program will also decrease natural gas demand during peak periods and increase natural gas demand during off- 3 see OFFI. of GEN. eOUN TEL:804-371-9240 , Rug 22'94 13:29 No.OOS P.OS \ . peak periods to improve CGS's load factor.

She also updated the Board on County Legislative Liaisons who have been appointed by the Boards of Supervisors. Approximately 50% of the counties have not responded. There was a consensus to send a follow-up letter to those counties who have not responded to appoint a contact person. The V ACo Board of Directors should also receive copies of the letters. 6. Executive Director's ReDort Mr. Campbell reported on various staff activities since April 30. Staff visited approximately 25% of the counties across the state Mr. Campbell reported that VACo's publications continue to receive recognition by peers across the country.

General Counsel's Report Mr. Hicks reported on various activities involving his participation. -He reported serving on various committees and rendering legal opinions to county officials. -Mr. Hicks has continued to provide legal services and opinions for VACoRP Insurance. -He reported that a 10% rate reduction (retroactive to 7/1/94) is expected from the negotiations with Virginia Power. Mr. Campbell asked each Board representative to remind those counties who have not contributed their fair share to the APCO and VEPCO program to please do so. -Other discussions centered around the Right to Farm bills. Mr. Hicks had a model ordinance drafted in response to the bill which will be discussed at the Planning and Natural Resources Steering Committee meeting. It was suggested that the committee make a recommendation to the Board of Directors. It is important that staff get as much information as possible on the issue to all counties. Another packet. including the draft ordinance, should be circulated to the chairmen of the Boards of Supervisors.

Citizens' comments are openly sought and carefully considered. The October 28, 1993, edition of the FAnAr;:¡1 RAgi~tAr published the Final Rule for Statewide Planning and Metropolitan Planning. Section 450.212, p. 58067, and Section 450.316, p. 58073, include requirements for public involvement processes to address planning and programming development for the Statewide and Metropolitan elements. respectively. This document represents the Commonwealth' s response to these requirements. Prnr.A~~ DAvAlnrmAnt Public involvement processes are required in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (lSTEA) for the development of the: 1 . Statewide Transportation Plan 2. Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) 3. Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Transportation Plan 4. Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program The process discussed in this document will be used for the two statewide efforts. Each MPO is responsible for developing its own public involvement process, and submitting a copy with a resolution of adoption to the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) Transportation Planning Division and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. RAqllirAn EIAmAnt~ for thA StMA Prnr.A~~A~ While each public involvement process at the state level has its unique actions. certain elements are common to both. These include: A. Notification for Public Involvement 1 . Notices will be published in newspapers of local and regional significance and minority publicatiqns of significance. The notices will be published twice in advance of the meeting. 2. Press releases will be provided to radio/television stations of local and regional significance and minority-targeted stations of significance. 1 3. Mass Mailings Send notices at least 30 days prior to a meeting. Update mailing lists on a continuing basis. Those receiving notification will include: a. Local units of government b. Metropolitan Planning Organizations c. Planning District Commissions d. Appropriate state and federal agencies e. Special interest groups, e.g. bike clubs, trucking associations, etc. f. Other affected transportation agencies and private providers. g. Citizen groups. h. Citizens with an expressed interest. i. Representatives of minority and low-income groups. j. Recognized Indian tribal governments. k. Representatives of organizations for the elderly and disabled. 4. Notices will include: a. Date, time, and location of the meeting. b. Special accessibility instructions for disabled persons. c. Purpose of the meeting. d. Instructions on how to request pertinent materials or documents prior to the meeting, including technical and policy information used in development of the statewide transportation plan and STIP. e. Instructions for commenting if attendance at the meeting is not possible. 2 B. Location The following factors, among others, will be considered in the selection process: 1 . Space adequate in size to accommodate the meeting format and anticipated audience. 2. Must meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. C. Public Involvement Meeting Format 1. Presentations may be formal, informal, or a combination of both. If suitable for the occasion, an informal format is preferred. Public comment will always be allowed on an informal basis. 2. Information will be provided to advise meeting participants how they may make follow-up comments. Written and telephoned comments are accepted at any time. If comments are received too late for consideration in current document development, they will be considered in the subsequent update of the Statewide Transportation Plan or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. 3. The dates for follow-up meetings will be announced to those in attendance if the information is known. D. Information Feedback 1 . A summary of substantive comments with state responses will be made available to interested parties on request. 2. Copies of draft documents will be made available to the VDOT district offices, public and private transit operators, members of the Virginia General Assembly and Congressional delegation, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, units of local government, Planning District Commissions, recognized Indian tribal governments, appropriate federal and state agencies, and citizen groups/citizens with an expressed interest. After consideration of all issues in the decision-making process, a public notice will be issued to advise how copies of any resulting final document may be obtained. 3. Those included on current mailing lists will be advised when the next cycle begins. 3 E. The Public Involvement Process will be reviewed periodically to evaluate its effectiveness. Prnr.AdIlrA~ UniqllA to E;:¡r.h PI;:¡nning ;:¡nd Prngr;:¡mming EIAmAnt Each planning/programming element of ISTEA covered by the Public Involvement Process has unique requirements. They include: A. Statewide Transportation Plan 1. Public meetings will be held initially in each VDOT district to provide information and receive comments. It is envisioned the Statewide Transportation Plan initially will be policy-oriented. Agency representatives for all modes of transportation will attend this and all other meetings. 2. A second round of multi-modal meetings will be held at the district level to provide information and receive comment relative to the proposed study outline to be used in developing the plan. 3. A third round of district-level, multi-modal meetings will be held to present a draft of the proposed plan, and to seek public comment. 4. Citizen and Technical Advisory Committees will be established to assist in the plan development process. 5. Similar procedures are expected to be used in future plan reVISions, assuming it will continue to be a policy-oriented document instead of a project specific report. B. Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The Commonwealth Transportation Board's current pre-allocation and allocation hearing process will serve as the basis for a multi-modal public involvement process. Included in this process are: 1 . Expanded pre-allocation hearings in each VDOT District. Comments will be actively solicited for the following transportation elements: a. Roadway Needs - Interstate, Primary, Urban Systems b. Rail Needs c. Public Transportation Needs 4 · . d. Enhancement Program (STP Funds) Needs e. Safety Program (STP Funds) Needs f. Bicycle and Pedestrian Needs g. Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Needs 2. After all Public Involvement Process comments are received and reviewed, the Commonwealth Transportation Board will prepare a draft Six-Year Improvement Program (one year for Rail and three years for Public Transportation). A separate list will be prepared for State Secondary road improvement projects that are anticipated to be accomplished through the use of federal-aid funds. This will constitute the Commonwealth's draft STIP. 3. The draft Six-Year Improvement Program and the State Secondary Project Listing will be circulated for public involvement in the manner previously described. A minimum of two weeks will be made available. Public comments can be provided verbally or in writing at two allocation hearings held in the eastern and western parts of the Commonwealth. Written and telephoned comments can also be provided to the Virginia Department of Transportation Assistant Commissioner for Planning & Programming or to the Director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. 4. The Commonwealth Transportation Board will formally adopt the Six-Year Improvement Program and STIP. 5. Revisions to the Six-Year Improvement Program and STIP will be circulated for local review and comment. A minimum of 30 days will be allowed, unless state and local officials jointly determine a need on an individual case basis to modify the time allowed for comment. MPO Pllhlic Involvement Prnce~~ Each MPO is required to adopt a public involvement process to meet the unique needs of the area, and to serve as the cornerstone for public involvement within each urbanized area. The Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIPs) must be incorporated in the State TIP (STIP), thus making it desirable for all Public Involvement Processes to serve a common purpose. 5 Adoption Prncp.durp. All proposed public involvement processes, both statewide and metropolitan, must be open for a minimal public comment period of 45 days before they are adopted or revised. Comments for the statewide process will be solicited from local governments, MPO's, state agencies, transit providers (public and private), interested professional and citizen groups, Planning District Commissions, and federal agencies. 6 () -; c: <;. y' ( , )<=;.

This 12" waterline will significantly improve fire protection to the schools and existing customers by improving fire flows. Also, this project will allow undeveloped properties in the western portion of the Community to be served. Portions of the existing water main in Jarmans Gap Road will also be replaced as part of this project. The Comprehensive Plan recommends the following for utility improvements: * Evaluate water distribution line improvements in the utilities master plan development, including replacement of the Route 240 line to Route 250 West, looping this line back to Jarmans Gap Estates, and increasing line size down Jarmans Gap Road (p. 180). This project is consistent with this recommendation. The project has been identified in the utilities master plan research and the ACSA Capital Improvement Program. * Provide public water and sewer services to the Urban Area and Communities (Objective p. 146). This water transmission main will serve properties within the Crozet Community Growth Area boundary. * Build all public water and sewer facilities to an ultimate design capacity consistent with the recommended land use densities in the Comprehensive Plan '(p, 152). The project meets the intent of this strategy and will serve properties in the western portion of the Growth Area. Staff believes this project complies with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and recommends favorable action by the Planning Commission. ALBÉMÁRLE COUNTY SERVICE RITY P.O.

This law permits a public-private partnership between local government and lending institutions to create affordable housing. Delegate Mims relates how Loudon County has implemented this method of facing some of its housing needs. I know that affordable housing is one of Albemarle County's concerns and I am sending you this information in the hopes that "linked deposit" is a program that the County can consider in meeting the challenge of providing the opportunity for all citizens to obtain adequate housing. I have also forwarded this information to David Toscano, Mayor of the City of Charlottesville. If I can be of assistance or if you have any questions regarding "linked deposit," please call me at 977-7863.

The linked deposit law permits local governments to deposit up to 25% of their funds in banks which offer competitive interest rates ~ incentives for affordable housing in the locality. Without this law, localities would have to make deposit decisions based solely upon interest rates, according to Virginia's public procurement statute. I am pleased to report that Loudoun County entered into the first "linked deposit" contracts earlier this year and the program has been an unqualified success. Loudoun has deposited $5.5 million with Signet . Bank and First Union Bank. These two banks have agreed to provide some extraordinary affordable housing incentives, including $5 million in home mortgage-funds with no private mortgage insurance required, $3 million in residential construction funds, and various seminars and presentations to the targeted population for affordable housing. The direct revenue loss to Loudoun County from foregone interest income was only $5,000; the direct and indirect benefits from construction of affordable housing are immense and far outweigh the costs. I wanted to let you know about the success of this PUblic-private partnership with the hope that you will share this letter and the enclosures with your local elected officials who may want to consider implementing such a program. Enclosed for your review are a local newspaper editorial and a description of Loudoun's program. Your local officials who want more information about this innovati ve program are encouraged to contact Cindy Mester, Loudoun's Housing Director, at 102 Heritage Way, N.E., Suite 202, Leesburg, Virginia 22075, (703) 777-0389. Thank you for your attention to this letter and I look forward to seeing you in September. Sincerely, ~~~LDJ BL0Mims . · "" loudoun County lInke~ Deposits Affordable Housing Plan Purpose: The Linked Deposits Plan is a public! private partnership designed to expand affordable housing opportunities for citizens with low to moderate incomes who live and! or work in the County. The "link", which gives the program its name, leverages the County's bank deposits with an agreement by the financial institution(s) to provide incentives for first time home buyers and the preservation of affordable housing (ie. reduced housing costs, down payments and! or points; reduced financing or rehabilitation costs). Summary of Program: Early in 1992 a County taskforce, representing Financial Services, Treasurer's Office, County Attorney's Office, County Administration, Youth and Family Services and Housing Services, formed to pursue the development of the Linked Deposits Plan. As a result of the taskforce's preliminary research it was determined that the County did not have the authority to "link" its investment decisions to affordable housing criteria. Therefore, the Board of Supervisors initiated a request of the General 1 . . Program Results: On March 17, 1994 the County Treasurer, with the Board of Supervisors concurrence, awarded to Signet Bank and First ~nion National Bank of Virginia a split deposit of $5,500,000 with the agreement for the provision of $8,011,500 affordable housing initiatives. The interest income on the deposit is approximately $202,000. When comparing the Linked Deposits Plan interest income against a traditional investment the loss of interest income is only $5,000. The specific affordable housing initiatives for the contract year include: 20 Affordable Home Mortgage Presentations, Marketing, 8 First Time Homebuyers Seminars, $5,000,000 Home Mortgage Funds with no Private Mortgage Insurance, $3,000,000 in Residential Construction Funds and Federal Home Loan Bank Funds Advisory Services and Presentations to non-profit and housing agencies. Both Financial Institutions have actively begun to implement the agreed upon affordable housing initiatives and will be submitting quarterly progress reports. Regular contacts are occurring with the Housing Services which serves as the County's lead agency in monitoring the affordable housing component. --. - . . . . ~ o t o r ~ :-\ J. ,. - 3 4 ~. ~ '" ~ ~ ~ ·anss! .8U!~oq alq~p.t0J.fe alp o~ 1.[J~o.tdd~ U!

O. Box 9030 Charlottesville, VA 22906 Dear Editor, This fall there will be an opportwllty for all Albemarle County residents to have meaningful and immediate input into decisions that will effect every facet of their lives - issues concerning growth, education, transportation, public safety, human services - as the county reviews and updates its Comprehensive Plan. Every five years as required by the Code of Virginia the county reviews its Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan provides a blueprint for future decisions on land use and development, transportation systems, public facilities including schools, resource protection, housing, human services, and public services, We need your suggestions and comments as we review and update this important document. We need to know how county residents feel about the critical issues we face as a community - our future decisions about growth, economic development, preservation, environment and other major planning needs will use this plan as a reference point. If you are interested in and concerned about the county's future direction, this is the time to express your wishes and desires. Our Comprehensive Plan should be a shared vision which reflects the community's needs and priorities as determined through an open dialogue with county planners. We have scheduled a series of meetings at sites around the county beginning this week to allow residents the opportwllty to review the plan and discuss specific issues with Albemarle County staff. I encourage you to fmd out about the meetings in your area by calling the Comprehensive Plan Information Line at 296-5835 or the Daily Progress InfoLine at 975-INFOX1220 and becoming an involved partner in the planning process. t/rJ .

Allen Governor's Office, Third Floor The State Capitol P. O. Box 1475 Richmond, VA 23212 Dear Governor Allen: The Virginia Association of Counties has a long-standing concern about the proliferation of unfunded mandates imposed on local governments. For many years, it has been V ACo's position to oppose any state or federal mandates on local governments which are not accompanied by full funding. We regard unfunded mandates as hidden tax increases. They leave counties with few alternatives but to increase local taxes as state and federal tax rates remain unchanged. Combined with the overall trend of fewer federal dollars being distributed to localities, county governments are under serious fiscal stress. We wish to applaud you for the concern that you have already demonstrated about unfunded mandates. We recognize and appreciate that your stance against unfunded mandates has severely limited the introduction and passage of these bills by the General Assembly. We would like to work with you to arrive at mutually acceptable strategies to stem the tide of any future unfunded mandates on localities. As president of V ACo, I appointed an Unfunded Mandates Task Force this spring which has been working diligently to resolve the problem of unfunded mandates. With the backing of the V ACo Board of Directors, the Task Force has come up with the attached recommendations for reducing or eliminating unfunded mandates on localities, both at the statutory and regulatory level. Representatives from the task force--R. B. Clark (County Administrator of Charlotte County), Robert Dix (Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County), Flip Hicks (General Counsel for the Virginia Association of Counties)--and I would like to request an audience with you to discuss these recommendations. It is our hope to meet with you before November I so that we can share the results of our meeting at V ACo's annual conference on November 13-15. By the way, we would be delighted if you and Mrs. Allen could join us at the annual meeting. Thank you for your consideration of this request, and I look forward to meeting with you soon. Sincerely, . @ðð/Ú? ~:Luf Peggy R. Wiley President I 1 VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES Proposal to Address the Problem of Unfunded Mandates Background Existing procedures for evaluating fiscal impacts of legislation or regulations on localities are woefully inadequate. Currently, whenever a legislator or other participant in the legislative process believes a proposed bill may result in increased costs to local governments, the bill is referred by the Division of Legislative Services to the Commission on Local Government which then surveys approximately fifty to sixty local governments throughout Virginia. Through this survey, the participating localities are asked to determine any additional costs that may be associated with the proposed new or expanded service. Within the time-frame established by COLG, many of the sparsely staffed localities being surveyed may not have adequate time to perform a complete analysis. The rapid pace of events that always characterize legislative sessions also creates a problem. There are many instances when a bill in question may be amended to such an extent that it quickly invalidates many of the underlying assumptions in the local government's analysis. As a basic consequence of this flawed process, there may be many occasions when neither the state, nor local governments, have truly accurate ideas of how much money certain mandates will cost. In reality, the cost of a mandate is most often not sufficiently understood until well into the implementation stage. By that time, they become politically entrenched programs that are extremely difficult to eliminate. For example, many of the costs associated with local efforts to comply with recycling requirements (imposed as a result of legislation passed in 1989) were not adequately understood until years later. Curiously enough, there is no record that any local fiscal impact analysis was ever performed to try and understand the local costs of mandated recycling programs. This proposal is not to suggest that recycling, and other programs are without merit. In many cases, local governments adopted programs of this type at their own option, long before mandates. In all too many instances similar to the recycling example, mandates are based on assumptions that one approach to addressing a particular problem fits all local circumstances. As a consequence, -- there is an impediment to the ability of local governments (together with the citizens they serve) to develop programs that might most meaningfully improve their own communities. Local creativity becomes stifled. Mistrust and conflict between local, state and federal officials can intensify. These are among the chief reasons why we, as county government officials, believe unfunded mandates to be inconsistent with "good government" principles. Recommendation Because of the problems identified above, we urge the institutionalization (preferably by statute) of new policies and procedures that would achieve the following results: co Establish a reasonable time-frame (perhaps ten months) to allow a state agency (possibly the Department of Planning and Budget) to analyze the future fiscal impacts of any legislation that may impose a financial burden on local governments. A procedure of this type should allow a thorough study (to be conducted in cooperation with local governments) to determine all possible net additional costs that a local government would assume as a result of a new or expanded service. This more extensive analysis should yield more accurate cost estimates. The minimal ten month period for analysis and review would coincide with the time period between adjournment and commencement of legislative sessions. No bill deemed to have any possible fiscal impacts upon local governments could become law until the completion of such a review. · Require all regulatory agencies to adopt and promulgate any new, non-emergency regulation on or before December 1 of the year adopted, but with the regulation to become effective after the the date of the veto session of the following year. This would enable the Governor and the General Assembly to study the regulation, its effect and cost, and receive any criticism from the affected sections of the regulated community and local governments. The Governor and/or General Assembly could take such action as necessary to modify the effect of the regulations if he or they believe this to be necessary. Most agencies now spend well in excess of , , one year in the process of adopting regulations. This time would not be unduly burdensome on the agencies. In each session, require the General Assembly to appropriate additional aid to localities which is equal to cumulative net costs which would result from the new or expanded services required under state law. The amount appropriated as new financial aid to local governments would equal the cumulative amount of funds determined as necessary to pay for all newly mandated public services to be performed by local governments. Failure by the General Assembly to appropriate additional funds would invalidate the mandate. Collectively, the objectives identified above could be incorporated into a legislative package which would be referred to in the future as "truth in legislating." There are similar initiatives that have been introduced at the federal level which are enthusiastically supported by all state and national organizations representing local governments. . -, '. ,,: COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE f¡ L MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Albemarle County Board of supervisors¡t;~ Robert W. Tucker, Jr. , County Executive ! September 20, 1994 Gainsharing At the September 7, 1994 meeting, a request was made to provide an update on the Gainsharing Program approved by the Board effective January 1, 1994. After 8 months of availability, the program has met with some interesting results. It was the intent that the program (1) provide an incentive to hold vacancies open as long as possible to take advantage of that savings, and (2) reward employees for taking on additional workload created from the vacancies. The concept of the program has been implemented in several different ways in the organization. In some cases, some of the savings from extended vacancies has been used for part time help to help with the workload for short periods of time. Others have used a portion of the savings to purchase capital equipment to improve the efficiency of the department. Others have held vacancies open for an extended period of time in order to take advantage of opportunities to improve service delivery that came up after the budget was approved. In the one instance where an individual shared in the savings through a one-time bonus, approximately $2,400 was paid out with a savings to the County of approximately $40,000. As you will remember, after reappropriations were approved, savings on the expenditure side of the local government budget was approximately $1 million. While this was clearly not attributable solely to the Gainsharing Program, it does point to the conservative nature of cost center managers who are constantly looking for ways to manage their appropriations carefully. In fairness, it should be noted that many of the vacancies which occur on the local government side cannot be held vacant without degradation of service levels to the public. Since this was a premise upon which the program was established, executive staff reviews each vacancy which occurs to determine its eligibility for the program and the effect on service levels. Since positions have not been added in most departments over the last several years, departments have been asked to absorb the growth in workload making it difficult to hold vacancies open in many.cases. Albemarle County Board of Supervisors September 20, 1994 RE: Gainsharing Page 2 Stafffeels that this program can be a useful tool and should be continued. It is widely used in several other jurisdictions including the City of Charlottesville and is one of a number of ways to encourage savings to occur at all levels of the organizations. If there should be any further questions, I would be happy to respond.

Concerns 01 County Officials Public HearinSj1s on Sentencing and Parole Reform State Aid to local Governments If revenue growth remains consistent with projected trends averaging 5% per yoar, projected operating costs of sentencing and parole reform (Astimat8d to grow to $1 billion per year by 2005) will consume any new revenue growth and erode the existino revenue base.

This decline Is even more dramatic for counties; state aid decreased from 32.54% of total revenue In 1989 to 29.66% In 1993. · Declining revenue from the state has already created a "back door" tax in local governments.

Our daughter is five years old, and just entered K-l at Agnor-Hurt Elementary School. We are just being introduced to the Albemarle County School system. As you will be able to tell, I have a great deal of involvement with the Charlottesville Public Schools and I am a life-long native of this community. I feel that I have a vested interest in this community and with a child in the public schools, I have an interest in her education. EXPERIENCE Presently, I am the Deputy Director of the Monticello Area Community Action Agency (MACAA), which is an anti-poverty organization serving Planning District 10. I have been employed by this organization for 26 years. I have experience in supervision, fiscal management, public relations, mediation and program planning. I am a former business owner with my husband, which was called, L & G Landscape and Lawn Service, Inc. My experience with children: * First and foremost, I am a mother. * MACAA administers the HeadStart program for the region and I personally supervise the program. * MACAA administers Project Discovery, which is an educational program that motivates students to further their education beyond high school and I also supervise that program. * I am also a Mediator for students, teachers and parents. * The "Just Friends" Mentoring program was founded by myself and five other professionals to work with at-risk children and families in Charlottesville. This program let us be role models for children with problems and who come from one-parent homes. * Lead Case Manager for MACAA. I supervise the function in our agency that take me into the homes, schools, courts, and other organizations dealing with children and parents who have multiple problems.

One who will see the need to involve parents in their childrens' education. One that is committed to establishing a multicultural curricula and aggressive recruitment of minority teachers and administrators. 2) Hire skilled teachers that deserve to be paid well. 3) Have a balanced budget. 4) All of the schools in Albemarle County deserve equal attention. Schools in Southern Albemarle County (i.e. Walton and B.F. Yancey) seem to get left out of the loop. 5) The School Board needs to assist principals in addressing other ways to teach children besides the "traditional ways" when it is clear that the "traditional ways" will not help all of the children. 6) A Family Life curriculum need to be taught in Albemarle County.

Henderson 1742 Hearthglow Lane Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 804-973-0645 September 20, 1994 David Bowerman Albemarle County Board of Supervisors Charlottesville, VA 22901 Dear Mr. Bowerman: I wish to express my support for Luella E. "Pynke" Gohaner-Lyles. She is applying for the position of School Board representative for the Charlottesville district. I have known Ms. Lyles since 1987, and am proud to count her as one of my personal friends. As you are aware, Pynke is the assistant director of MACAA. One thing Pynke strongly believes is the importance of parents becoming involved by taking part in the education of their child. Her duties with the Head Start program is one way she can pass on her belief by encouraging parents of the children in Head Start to volunteer in the system. Budgeting, planning and deadlines are not new to Pynke, either. Pynke is in a supervisory position where she deals with the public extensively, the confidentiality of personnel matters, and the strategies of marketing with confidence. In addition, her duties with MACAA have certainly taught her about the financial aspects of running an office. She has learned how to stretch the dollar when funding was limited. Her experience gives her the confidence to be in the public eye. She was appointed by the city council to the Drug Advisory Board. Then, the other members of the board had enough faith in her abilities to elect her as the vice chair. While this advisory board is no longer active, she feels that the contacts she made are invaluable. Pynke feels that her knowledge of the community and the people who live here is based on the fact that she is a native of Charlottesville and that she has held positions which enable her to come in contact with many people. She is not afraid to make decisions that might be unpopular if they are for the good of the community. Pynke and her husband have made a commitment to live in this area, and she wants to make this the best place to raise their daughter. As one who lives in the Charlottesville district, I feel confident in recommending Pynke for the position of School Board member. One way she can do this is by serving on the School Board. If you have any questions, please let me know. Sincerely, i~\:Þ ~L-;<~- Loretta F.

Fritz Senior Planner WDF/jcw cc: Ella Carey Jo Higgins Amelia McCulley Rio Associates Limited Partnership STAFF PERSON: PLANNING COMMISSION: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: WILLIAM D. FRITZ AUGUST 9, 1994 SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 SP-94-22 CHARLES HURT Petition: Charles Hurt petitions the Board of Supervisors to issue a special use pennit for outdoor storage and display of Modular and Mobile Home Sales on a portion of Tax. Map 45, Parcel 109 [30.6.3.2(b)]. This site is zoned HC, Highway Commercial and is within the EC, Entrance Corridor Overlay District. The property is located in the northwest comer of the intersection of Route 29 and the Keglers access road in the Charlottesville Magisterial District. This site is recommended for Regional Service in Neighborhood One. Character of the Area: This site is located just to the south of the existing miniature golf course and is between the Keglers site and Route 29. Access to the site will be rrom the Keglers access road. Aoolicant's Prooosal: The applicant proposes to display modular and mobile home units for sale on this site. A sketch of the proposed layout of the site is included as Attachment C. The applicant has stated as a description and justification for this request: "Modular and Double Wide Home Sales Center. Models will be set up for sales displays. Models will be changed as usage occurs. Single wide homes will not be emphasized but may be displayed on occasion. A needed business. A display for modular and mobile homes presented in a attractive and tasteful manner that will be appealing to prospective home buyers. While there is little rrontage on 29 we do expect people to exhibit a home that will be remembered when people are considering a new home. Our visual display will be a enhancement to the 29N corridor." RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Sections 31.2.4.1 and 30.6.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval. Plannine and Zonine Historv: December, 19, 1985 - ZMA-85-17 approved establishing the present zoning on the site. May 4, 1988 - ZMA-88-06 approved which modified the proffers of ZMA-85-17 June 6, 1988 - Subdivision plat administratively approved establishing current parcel boundaries. October 13, 1993 - SP-93-25, a request for a commercial recreation establishment was denied. ComDrehensive Plan: This area is recommended for Regional Service in Neighborhood One. The non-residential land use guidelines for Regional Service contained in the Comprehensive Plan contain the widest variety of uses. Mobile home sales are a typical primary use in Regional Service. The Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of public utilities in Urban Neighborhoods. A private septic system is proposed as the existing public sewer serving this drainage basin is currently at capacity. STAFF COMMENT: Section 31.2.4.1 Staffhas reviewed this request for compliance with Section 31.2.4.1 which states: "The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use pennits pennitted hereunder. Special use pennits 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, 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 this ordinance, with the uses pennitted by right in the district, with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance, and with the public health, safety and general welfare. " This use is by special use pennit only due to its location within the entrance corridor. The proposed use is by-right in the underlying district and is a typical use of the Regional Service area. Therefore, staff has limited review to the potential impact of the site to Route 29 and not adjacent properties which are similarly zoned. Residential properties are located on the east side of Route 29 and to the west behind Keglers. Due to the distance to these properties no adverse impact is anticipated. This use will require a Certificate of Appropriateness trom the Architectural Review Board (ARB). The ARB held a preliminary conference with the applicant on August 1. Subject to design considerations which will limit to eight (8) the number of display models and will require substantial landscaping. The ARB has indicated it can issue a certificate of appropriateness. The staff report trom the Design Planner is attached. Private Se,ptic: The applicant is requesting the use of private septic systems which is pennitted in accord with Section 32.7.5.1 which states: "Within the service areas of the Albemarle County Service Authority and where the commission determines public water and/or sewer to be reasonably available, such service shall be extended by the developer. All such facilities shall be constructed to Albemarle County Service Authority specifications and dedicated to the Albemarle County Service Authority. Except as otherwise provided by Albemarle County Service Authority policy, all costs shall be borne by the developer. " " The Planning Commission may grant this modification. The developer will connect to public water. Attachment D is from the Albemarle County Service Authority. The existing pump station serving this drainage basin requires upgrading which will involve physical improvements and the platting of an access easement on property not owned by the applicant. During the review of the miniature golf course located in tront of Kegler's and the recreation center behind Kegler's, the Planning Commission did authorize the use of a private septic system. During the review of the recent Todd Shields request, the Planning Commission added a condition requiring future connection. That condition has been included in this request. During the review of SP-93-25 on this site, the Planning Commission did authorize use of a private septic field. The Health Department will require a soils report prior to approval of the site plan. The anticipated water use is less than that for the proposed recreation center. Staff recommends allowance of private septic system until such time as public sewer is available. Staff recommends the following condition: At such time as a sewer line with adequate capaicity is in place within 200 feet of the office, the applicant shall connect to public sewer. WESTERN BY-PASS: This site lies in the path of the western by-pass as currently proposed. The County has agreed with VDOT that it will attempt to protect this alignment from development. One rezoning (ZMA-89-09 Rio Hill West) in the alignment of the bypass proposing to increase density from R- 6 to R-15 was denied by the Board of Supervisors. Commercial development of equal or greater intensity is available by-right on this site. It is due only to the use of outdoor storage in the Entrance Corridor that this use involves a special use permit. Because of this circumstance, commercial development of this property cannot be prevented. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The ARB has recommended conditions by which a Certificate of Appropriateness can be issued for this request. With this determination, staff recommends approval with the following conditions: RECOMMENDED CONDmONS OF APPROVAL FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT: 1. No banners, spinners, flyers, pennants, floats, tinsel or other attention getting devices shall be allowed; 2. Use is limited to a maximum of eight (8) units at any time. ---------------- ATTACHMENTS: A - Location Map B - Tax Map C - Sketch of Site D - Albemarle County Service Authority Comment E - Design Planner's Report L I ATTACHMENT AI -.......... ... o (j \.'.

Sanitary Sewer Service West of Rt. 29 in the Woodbrook Drainage Basin No residual capacity exists in the Woodbrook pump station serving' Keglers and part of the Woodbrook subdivision. Development in that area will requir~ replacing the pump station either with a new station or a gravity sewer. Late in 1990 we discussed upgrades with Frank Stoner, C. W. Hurt and Wendell Wood. In an effort to "phase" the replacement system we told them we would consider pumping options as they could be achieved with the following . investment levels: Increase capacitY/46,000 gpd(new pump station) $117,600 Increase capacitY/114,000 gpd(force main) 55,000 Increase capacity to meet basin need (gravity sewer) Total Upgrade Cost 54,000 $226,600 The alternative to the above is a gravity sewer through Carrsbrook. A preliminary estimate to construct this sewer is $350,000.00. ' In 1990 the attractive solution was to const~uct the pump station in phases with contributions from the primary property owners in the basin. A contract acceptable to all parties has yet to be drafted. our current capit~i improvement program includes a line item for the gravity Sewer. This project is not proposed to be funded in the current biennium, ~ut has been identified as a potential project between 1995 and 1998. A lot of factors play in funding a project during a current biennium, and' there are no guarantees the sewer project will occur before 1998. I hope this information will give you some background for projects proposed within this basin. If you have any questions feel free to call. ~. .. PAS:dmg ¡: f( ¡ .'

LOCA TION Located on the west side of Route 29N just north of Wood brook Drive. PROPOSAL To provide an area to store and display manufactured housing. SITE CONDITIONS The site has been graded into a level plane and currently exists as a grassy field. STAFF REPORT Because the applicant proposes to store and display items for sale visible from the Entrance Corridor a special use permit is required. The ARB is requested to provide recommendations to the Board of Supervisors concerning the use, and the visual impact this use may have on the corridor. The site has been graded and cleared. The northern boundary of the property is shared with the miniature golf area, the entrance to the bowling complex is located on the southern boundary; directly across from the entrance is a vacant graded and cleared parcel. This site will b?highly visible from the corridor. \ The applicant proposes placing 6 manufactured homes and an office on the parcel. This will include a gravel surface for parking the homes and maneuvering the homes onto and off the site as the sales occur. The homes resemble small single family homes. The office proposed is a mobile office. The home illustrated closest to Route 29N be used as a model. The model will be elevated in relation to Route 29N, and therefore, visible from Route 29N. . I ATTACHMENT E I , Page 2 , Home Sales August 1, 1994 Staff suggests that the use can be accommodated on the site if the following occurs: 1) Use the home closest to Route 29N as a model, landscaping should be used to frame the building, and heighten the sense of residential use. 2) The homes located behind the model should be separated with a grouping of evergreen trees 6'-8' in height, these should wrap around the model home and around the property line. 3) Street trees (2) are planted in the area adjacent to Route 29N. 4) Street trees are planted 35' on center along the access road and along the most northern property line. 5) The parking area should contain landscaping in conformance with the requirements in the zoning ordinance and design guidelines. This should include trees and screening shrubs. 2 .- " / (j -{~(; (~ /._.7& .

FRITZ SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 SEPTEMBER 14, 1994 SP-94-24 FREE UNION COUNTRY SCHOOL Petition: Petition to amend SP-90-82 to permit expansion of the existing building for an office and art room. Property, described as Tax Map 29, Parcel15D consists of 4.76 acres zoned RA, Rural Areas and is located on the west side of Route 601 approximately 300 feet east of the Route 601 /Route 665 intersection in the White Hall Magisterial District. This site is not located within a designated growth area (Rural Area 1). NOTE: The original approval for this school was granted by the Board of Supervisors in 1984 (SP-84-19). An amendment (SP-88-33) in 1988 increased enrollment from 35 to 48 students. An amendment in 1990 (SP-90-82) increased enrollment from 48 to 55 students and was later amended in 1991 to permit a building expansion. The current conditions applicable to the site are included as Attachment C. STAFF COMMENT: Prior approvals have allowed for expansion of enrollment and building area. Conditions 5 and 6 of SP-90-82 specifically limited the expansion area. It is due to these conditions that a special use permit has been processed. The current proposal is to increase the building area by approximately 250 additional square feet to allow for an office and art room. No increase in enrollment is proposed. The purpose of the expansion is to improve the functional ability of the school for accreditation purposes. No grading or clearing oftrees is required to accommodate the additional expansion. The expansion will be visible from Route 601. No additional parking is required. Staff opinion is that this increase does not substantially change the expansion allowed under SP-90-82 nor does it alter the character of the district due to the location and limited size of the proposed additional expansion. The applicant should be put on notice that further increases could change the character of the district and may, therefore, not be supported as consistent with Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. 1 .

This property is located on the south side ofIvy Creek Drive approximately 200 feet east ofBroomley Road in the Samuel Miller Magisterial District. This site is not located within a designated growth area (Rural Area 3). Character of the Area: Broomley Farm is developed with a dwelling and several farm buildings. Currently, access to the farm is over Broomley Road and Brook Road (in Farmington). A security gate is located at the end ofBroomley Road near its intersection .with Ivy Creek Drive. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a driveway to Ivy Creek Drive which intersects Broomley Road. While access to Broomley Road already exists the purpose of the proposed connection is to allow Broomley Farm to use the security features of the Ivy Creek development. Access to Broomley Road would be maintained for farm use. The applicant has submitted a description and justification for the request. In addition, replacement proffer language is proposed (Attachment C). RECOMMENDA TION: Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the original intent of ZMA-80-16 and recommends approval. Plannine and Zonine Historv: The zoning for the Ivy Creek development was established on November 5, 1980. (See Attachment D) Comprehensive Plan: This site is located in the Rural Areas of the Comprehensive Plan. No resources are identified in the Comprehensive Plan Open Space Plan. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: The original approval for the Ivy Creek development prohibited any connection to Brook Road. The intent of this was to prohibit access through the existing Farmington development. While this petition does not propose a connection between Brook Road and Ivy Creek Drive for the use of 1 . the Ivy Creek development, the connection will physically exist. Staff notes that currently Broomley Farm has access to Broomley Road (at Flordon to the south ofIvy Creek) and Brook Road. Therefore, the proposed driveway will not represent significant alteration of the existing pattern of access. Staff has prepared a map showing the existing and proposed road layout (Attachment E). Attachment B notes the location of access to Ivy Creek Drive and the portion of open space to be crossed is not useful as recreation area. The areas designation as open space was to prevent a spite strip or odd shaped lot, both of which are prohibited. The drive will be private and gated which will preclude its use as a through public connection trom Ivy Creek through Farmington. Therefore, approval of this request does not appear to be contrary to the intent ofZMA-80-16. Staff can identify no negative factors to this application and recommends approval of the request. Staff recommends that proffer 11 of ZMA-80-I6 be amended as follows: 11. Access limited to Broomley Road only, and no access onto Brook Road. This condition shall not prohibit the connection of a private driveway trom the Broomley Farm property to the roads serving the subdivision. --------------- ATTACHMENTS: .'

JUSTIFICATION OF REQUEST: (Please attach additional information as needed) The owner of Broomle Farm wants to install a rivate drivewa servin his residence. Drive will connect with Ivy Creek Drive approx. 300 fee from the Ivy Creek security gate. In addition, the drive itself will be gated, providing additional security and privacy for the Broomley residence. The Broomley Farm owner desires the additional security provided by having the primary entrance to his residence located within a gated community. Owner also desires to create a safer, more attractive main entrance to his property by reducing the curves and slopes on the drive. Ivy Creek desires to accomodate the Broomley farm owner. Ivy Creek does not believe that the ZMA-80-16 would be violated by the private driveway connection, and is requesting this action for clarification purposes only. Tax Map/Parcel 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Property, described as Tax Map 46B3, Parcell and Tax Map 32, Parcel 29F, is located on the south side ofRpute 649 at the northern end of Timberwood Parkway in the Rivanna Magisterial District. This sit~ is located in the Community of Holly mead and is recommended for low density residential (1-4 dwelling units per acre), high density residential (10.01-34 dwelling units per acre) and Neighborhood Service. Character of the Area: Adjacent and nearby uses include multi-family development (to the south), single family residential (to the east and west), a dance school (to the east) and churches (to the north and west). The property under review is mostly wooded with deciduous trees. An unused portion of the former Powell Creek Drive is located on-site. A single dwelling is located on Parcel 29F. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant proposes to rezone the property to allow for 65 residential units and limited commercial area. The applicant has submitted the following proffers which are intended to minimize the impact of the development and to address improvements contained in the Comprehensive Plan (Attachment C): 1.

Plannine: and Zonine: Historv: The R-4 zoning was established at the time of the establishment of the zoning for the Forest Lakes development. Various subdivision plats have been approved resulting the present parcel boundaries. Development Impact to Public FacíÜties: : f At the request of the Board of Supervisors, the Planning staff reviews rezoning requests for their fiscal impact on 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. It must be pointed out that this analysis 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 costs 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 Hi h School Renovations $2,331,000.00 Based on the additional students as estimated by multipliers currently used by the County, a total of27 additional elementary school students, 13 additional middle school students, and 16 additional high school students are anticipated. Costs attributable to this development based on the proportion of students is $21,911.40 or $337,10 per dwelling unit. 2 B. Libraries This proposal is considered to be in the service area of the Northside Library ($18,000). Based on the proportionate impact to library capacity, the proportionate share cost of this project is $120.60 or $1.86 per dwelling unit. -?"", . \ ~I , , c. Parks and Recreation ,',',. This proposal is considered to be in tlië service area of the Rivanna Park ($143,144) and Hollymead Elementary School Outdoor Recreation facilities.($37,000). Based on the proportionate impact to these facilities the proportionate share cost of this project is $2,239.56 or $34.46 per dwelling unit.

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. , , Comprehensive Plan: This area is recommended for Low and High Density Residential and Neighborhood Service. The majority of the site is recommended for High Density Residential and only that portion lying to the east ofTimberwood Parkway is recommended for Low Density Residential. The proffers submitted by the applicant limit the density of the residential area to under seven dwelling units per acre. This is a lower density than recommended in the 3 Comprehensive Plan for the majority of the site. However, the proposed density may be considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan due to the mixed designation of the area and existing development in the area. The applicant's proffers limit the development of the Commercial area to a level consistent with the recommendations for Neighborhood Service found in the Comprehensive Plan on page 161 (Attachment D). .:_.~ , 1"'\.. , , The applicant has proffered right-of-way for improvements to Route 649 aI:\Ø,the provision of a bike lane. These proffers are consistent with proffers made in a rezoning of a nearby parcel (ZMA-91-08) and are consistent wit Ii the Comprehensive Plan, provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, the CATS study and the Bike Plan. , , The Comprehensive Plan notes extension of Timberwood Parkway to intersect with Rt. 649 in conjunction with the proposed Meadow Creek Parkway. This alignment would affect this property due to the construction oftné roadway. This alignment is no longer under study due to difficulties in obtaining adequate sight ¡distance for entrance on to Route 649.' Obtaining adequate sight distance requires removaVrelocation of the church currently used as a dance studio to the east or relocation ofRt. 649. Attachment E shows the location of various alignments for the Meadow Creek Parkway and connector roads which have been reviewed by the consultant (Sverdrup) who has been undertaking the alignment study. Any alignments which would affect the property currently under review (T3 and T4) have not been recommended by the consultant for further review. No action has been taken to formally amend the Comprehensive Plan to delete the Timberwood Parkway extension and no action has been taken as to the consultant's study of the final alignment of the Meadow Creek Parkway. Based on this fact, this request is not consistent with the current recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for transportation improvements in the Community of Hollymead. However, based on the sight distance situation for the Comprehensive Plan alignment at Rt. 649 and the resulting study of alternatives by Sverdrup, staff opinion is that this request does not adversely affect the transportation system plans. STAFF COMMENT: The County has attempted in past rezoning requests to obtain a conceptual plan for development in order to determine the relationship of the development to adjacent arèas. Staff notes that during subdivision review, staff can ensure that the development satisfies the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. Development of the site will require significant clearing of the woods on site and this development will be visible from adjacent properties and the state road. The applicant has submitted a proffer which grants access to adjacent properties. While no access is anticipated at this time, should these parcels develop the allowance of access on this parcel may reduce the total number of entrances on Route 649 and provide for internal circulation between developments. The provision of access to adjacent properties is consistent with Sections 18-37(a) of the Subdivision Ordinance apd 32.7.2.4 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff has reviewed various sketches of development for the property under review. All show access for the residential development through the existing Forest Lakes Development. These sketches appear to be feasible. (None of the sketches are proffered.) SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION: ~".:- . ,\ It.. , ' The designation of commercial area with limitations as to access and scale,Qf development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The provisions of right-of-way for road improvements and a bike lane is consistent with several County adopted documents. The provisions of access to adjacent properties is consistent with provisions of the Zonin,g and Sijbdivision Ordinances. The limitations as to the number of dwellings results in a density sHghtly lower than recommended for a high density area. However, staff has not viewed this limitation as inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan due to the natur~: of existing development in the area. It appears unlikely any alignment ofMgadow Creek Parkway or connectors to' Meadow Creek would affect this property. No proffer has been submitted to preserve any possible road alignment for Meadow Creek Parkway or its connectors. Based on physical considerations and recommendations from the County's consultants on Meadow Creek Parkway, staff opinion is that this development will not interfere with proposed transportation system. Based on the above findings, staff is able to recommend approval subject to acceptance of the applicant's proffers: 1. Provide access from Tax Map 46, Parcel B3-0I, to the west to align with access as shown on the rezoning for Tax Map 32, Parcel29N (ZMA-9I-08). 2. Designate a 2.35 acre parcel ofland for neighborhood service. The gross floor area will not exceed 40,000 square feet, and no single use will exceed 4,000 square feet. Access for the neighborhood service area will be provided from Proffit Road (if adequate sight distance can be obtained) and Timberwood Parkway, but no through access will be provided except for emergency access which shall be provided. 3. Dedicate at the time of subdivision plat approval a thirty (30) foot strip across the State Route 649 frontage for future road improvements by the Countý of Albemarle or Virginia Department of Transportation. 5 4. Reserve for dedication up to nine (9) feet beyond the thirty foot dedication aforementioned for construction of a bike path.

Wayne cilimberg, Director of Planning and Community Development Amelia G. McCulley, Zoning Administrator~~ September 15, 1994 Proposed Fee Amendment - Retroactive Date On March 2nd of this year, the Board first directed staff to review development fees for certain circumstances. A request by Mt. Carmel Church for a small addition to a nonconforming use involving minimal staff review, was the impetus for this amendment to the fee schedule. At that same meeting, the Board authorized the Zoning Administrator to accept that special permit application without requiring a fee, pending the revision to the fee ordinance. Should the Board chose to approve the ordinance to reduce certain fees, staff recommends that the enactment is made retroactive to March 1, 1994. This would allow Mt. Carmel Church and other subsequent qualifying submittals to fall within the same new fees. After the public was informed about the action with respect to Mt. Carmel, several others have requested that the collection of their application fees be suspended until the new fees are in place. One person has requested to have the new fees be retroactive to about one year ago, in order to include an application for a family subdivision for development rights. Staff recommends against a lengthy retroactive period which could lead to some argument of being arbitrary and to numerous refunds of fees paid. Once the retroactive date has been determined, staff will process refunds as requests are initiated by 'the applicants. There are approximately 8 applications which would qualify based on the recommended date. ~. cJ é¡ - ,I (.. - 'I u::'~.O,í',. )'SI COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Dept. of Planning & Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902·4596 (804) 296·5823 MEMORANDUM TO: Albemarle County Board of Supervisors Ronald S.

AGENDA TITLE: Amendments to Development Review Fees AGENDA DATE: July 6, 1994 ITEM NUMBER: ACfION: x \., INFORMATION: SUBJECfIPROPOSALIREQUEST: To amend those fees for uses that may be subject to multiple fees, small additions to churches and the liké, and family divisions that necessitate a special use permit. ,". , CONSENT AGENDA: ACfION: INFORMATION: REVIEWED BY: ST AFF CONT ACf(S): Messrs. Tucker, Cilimberg, Davis, Ms. McCulley ATTACHMENTS: Yes BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors rejected a prior zoning ordinance amendment which would have allowed the Board to reduce fees in a particular case based on certain criteria. The Board directed staff to develop amendments under which fee reduction would be implemented at staff level and cited the three specific circumstances referenced above (see attached draft amendments). DISèuSSION: 1. Family division under Virginia Code applies to subdivision, not zoning matters. Staff previously recommended that special _ criteria be developed in the zoning ordinance when a request for a special use pem1Ít for additional lots in the Rural Area resulted tTom a proposed family division. The Board did not direct pursuing such amendments. Criteria for review remains the same for family division as for a lot to be sold. Since review of a family division necessitating a special use permit in the RA zone would be the same as for any other review for additional lots, staff has no basis for preferential fee other than to provide applicant relief. The attached amendment proposal would provide a fee corresponding to "minor amendment to a zoning map amendment." Language of the proposed amendment (35.0.a.l) would not allow preferential fee to be available in cases in which the original property was developed as a combination of family/for sale lots or for a situation where the owner purchased with no development rights and later proposed a family division. 2. Small addition to non-conforming churches and the like would be treated in the same manner as "minor amendment to a valid special use permit." Determination of minor amendment is currently an administrative one and would also be so for small additions. Should specific criteria be desired, Section 8.5.6.3 and Section 32.3.8 (attached) may serve as guidelines. 3. Multiple fees would be addressed by addition of a new Section 35.1 FEE REDUCTION. It has become customary for many rezonings and special use permits to be accompanied by site plan/subdivision plats. Currently, due to overlay districts, multiple special use permits may be necessary to establish an individual use (i.e.-Floodplain and scenic stream for a stream crossing). RECOMMENDATION: In accordance with the previous direction oflhe Board, adopt the following resolution of intent to address certain fee changes: The Albemarle Cmmty Board of Supervisors, to serve the public necessity, convenience, general welfare, or good zoning practice has adopted a resolution of intent to amend 35.0 FEES of the Zoning Ordinance to allow fee reduction for uses that may be subject to multiple fees, minor expansions to non-conforming uses and the like, and family divisions th¡¡t necessit¡¡te ¡¡ speei¡¡1 use permit.

Martin, Jr. -Request for Jurisdictional Area Designation for Water Only to Existing Structure(s) AGENDA DATE: September 21, 1994 ¡ ITEM NUMBER: q<-j, ¿. 9 ,:J f, $ f.;.2...-- ACTION: INFORMATION: SUBJECTIPROPOSALIREOUEST: Request to Proceed to Public Hearing to Consider Water Only to Existing Structure(s) for Tax Map 59, Parcel 12Fl. CONSENT AGENDA: ACTION: INFORMATION: STAFF CONTACT(S): Messrs. Tucker, Cilimberg ATTACHMENTS: Yes REVIEWED BY: T BACKGROUND: The applicant, Lewis A. Martin Jr., requests Jurisdiction Area designation for water only to existing structure(s) (See Attachments A and B). The request is for service to one unit located on Tax Map 59-12Fl. The parcel is located in the Oak Knoll Subdivision approximately 500 feet south of Route 250 West in the Ivy area (See Attachments C and D). The applicant stated that the existing well servicing the house has dried up and an attempt to dig a new well (400') has failed (See Attachment B). The Albemarle County Service Authority indicates that a water line with adequate capacity exists along Route 250 West that can be extended south along Oak Knoll Drive to serve the subject property. DISCUSSION: The subject property is not within a Growth Area. The Comprehensive Plan states "only allow changes in jurisdictional areas outside of designated Growth Area boundaries in cases where the property is: (1) adjacent to existing lines; (2) public health or.safety is endangered" (p. 146). Furthermore, the Comprehensive Plan warns that "such utilities are not to be extended to the Rural Areas as these services can increase development pressures" (p. 146). The property is not directly adjacent to the waterline; however, as mentioned earlier the house is only 500' from the existing waterline. There is one parcel between the subject property and the waterline along Route 250 (See Attachments C & D). The request appears to be most closely related to the second strategy listed above. Ivy is a former Growth Area and as such many nearby parcels are within the ACSA Jurisdictional Area. The parcel directly adjacent to the subject property to the west and the Greencroft Subdivision also located just west both have been designated for water only. The Kearsarge Subdivision located just east of the subject property also has a similar designation (See Attachment D), RECOMMENDA nON: As a general policy, staff has advised that public utility capacities should be reserved to support development of designated growth areas. Past actions by the Board have typically been to limit utility service outside the designated growth areas. However, where properties have experienced quantity problems and are adjacent to existing lines, the Board has in certain circumstances granted iurisdictional area designation for water only to existing structures. Staff believes that the effect of amendment to the jurisdictional area on the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is minimal. No additional development will result from such change. Therefore, staff is recommending proceeding to public hearing to consider water only to existing structures for Tax Map 59, Parcel 12Fl based on the documented problems.

OF CoUNSEL September 15, 1994 Albemarle County Planning Department County Office Building Charlottesville, Virginia Re: Application for water service to Lot 2, Oak Knoll Gentlemen: In support of my application for water service to our property at 600 Knoll Ridge Drive, and my request that this application be processed as an emergency matter, I would like to state: I have resided in Charlottesville and Albemarle County all my life. We have lived at 600 Knoll Ridge Drive for the past eight and one-half years. After our well went dry on August 26, we immediately engaged Foster Well & Pump Co., Inc. to drill a new well. This was done on August 31, to a depth of 305 feet, at a cost of $3,247.50, without satisfactory results. Our wonderful neighbors, Ray and Shirley Weems, have let us fill containers from their water supply, but we are feeling uncomfortable about imposing on them for any extended period. They too depend on a well, which could fail under such added demand. My wife and I are both senior citizens - in seven weeks I will be 70. I have been hospitalized for abdominal surgery three times in the past two years, during which sixteen inches of my intestine was removed. In our contemporary society most of us have come to take for granted having running water in our homes. It is no longer a luxury. To be without it is a deprivation. At our ages it is particularly burdensome. When I was twenty years old serving with the Army in Europe during World War II, we would go for weeks without bath facilities and the opportunity to bathe. But I am not as young now as I was then. .-- .
