INFORMATION: X
BACKGROUND:
At the January 7, 1998, Board of Supervisors meeting there was a discussion between Board members and County
Executive staff regarding the possibility of broadcasting in some way the meetings of the Board of Supervisors to allow
for greater viewership of and participation in these meetings by local residents. Because the current Board meeting
room is not technologically capable of supporting a live broadcast and would require a significant upgrade to do so, staff
reviewed several other options in addition to a live broadcast that would provide some level of Board-sponsored
programming for citizens. At that time the Board decided against expending the funds and manpower resources
necessary to create programming for Adelphia Cable based on factors explained below but indicated that the issue
would be reviewed in a year's time to reassess the situation. Staff has again looked at the issue and has developed the
following response.
DISCUSSION:
In assessing the POssibility of developing programming for the Board of Supervisors to be broadcast on Adelphia Cable
we last year identified three distinct options to consider which remain one year later as the feasible options:
Live Broadcast of Board of Supervisors Meetings
This option would require at least $4000 - $5000 (plus the cost of mounting a permanent camera and switching
equipment) to upgrade our technology to permit live broadcasts from the Current Board meeting room. The major
upgrade would involve the activation of a "return path" on the existing cable to allow a live feed from the COB to the
Adelphia studio. If we want to pursue this option, Adelphia management has offered to have an engineer assess the
meeting room to look at other technical issues like lighting, audio, etc. Several other issues should be. considered if this
option is seriously pursued including the need for the county to identify and train either volunteers or staff members who
would be responsible for covering these meetings on a regular basis - a minimum of 15 hours a month would be required
for filming the meetings themselves plus some studio time for graphics, production, etc. Viewership is also an issue,
particularly during the often lengthy day meetings which can last up to seven hours at a stretch. We do not anticipate
that many viewers will be interested in watching a meeting for that length of time and may well tune out before crucial
issues are discussed. Adelphia's public access staff does not work mornings, so any difficulties encountered during
Wednesday morning meetings would be difficult to address.
Taping Board of Supervisors Meetings to be Broadcast at a Later Date
This option would not require any significant technical changes to the current meeting room. We would still need to
identify and train a dedicated corps of volunteers or staff members who could tape the meetings, edit and produce the
final product and get the tapes to Adelphia. Equipment availability is something else to consider as our film crew would
have to pick up, set up, take down and return the video and audio equipment - equipment is limited and is available to
interested parties on a first-come, first-serve basis. Adephia has indicated a willingness to run taped Board meetings
on a regular schedule which would allow consistency in viewership, although the length of some of the meetings,
especially the day meetings, is still an issue.
Production of an In-Studio Show
If the intent of the Board is to provide timely information on critical topics rather than broadcasting Board meetings in their
entirety, another option is for the county to produce its own in-studio show. Members of the Board, county staff and others
could gather in the Adelphia studio on a regular basis for a roundtable-type discussion that could summarize or highlight
relevant Board topics. This option would require the creation of a production team that could tape the show, produce the
necessary graphics and edit the program. Some sources of help for this team such as the Walton Middle School crew are
available, but the creation of a consistently high qual!ty show that would run on a regular schedule would require trained
and dedicated staff or the hiring of an experienced video production crew.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff does not see that any issues of cost or viewership have changed significantly since this topic was discussed last year
and again recommends that the Board carefully consider exactly what objectives should be accomplished with the creation
of programming for the public access channel before moving ahead with any of the above options. The Board should
recognize that the production of a regularly scheduled, quality broadcast of any type will require a significant investment
of Board members' time as well as time and financial resources from county staff. Adelphia is willing to provide public
access time to air our programming, but has not yet firmly committed to running 15-20 hours of meetings monthly.
The critical question is what the audience wants and could potentially receive from our programming - while the concept
of live broadcasts seems attractive at first glance, the expense and staff commitment of getting it up and running combined
with a realistic assessment of how many people actually will watch six to seven hour meetings at a sitting may make other
avenues of communication more feasible and productive.

DECEMBER 9, 1998
Revised 11/24/98 to include modifications to Conceptual Plan and Proffers
recommended by the Planning 'Commission
ZMA 98-18 -WAYLANDS GRANT PRD
Applicant's Proposal: Barclay Development Corporation has requested a rezoning of the
"Bargamin" property located adjacent to the recently rezoned Gray Rock property in Crozet from
R-6 Residential to PRD Planned Residential Development. As shown on Attachments A and B,
the property is situated on the north side of Jarman's Gap Road to the east of the Gray Rock
Orchard. It contains 19.2 acres of undeveloped vegetated land. The rezoning would allow for a
mixed use, primarily residential development of 85 dwelling units. Four thousand square feet
would be used for professional offices. As with all PDR's an application plan is proffered
(Attachment C); an additional set of proffers and general conditions also accompanies this
rezoning request (See Attachment D.)
Petition for Rezoning: The petition is to rezone Tax Map 55 Parcels 66 and 66A from R-6 with
proffers to PRD. It is located on the north side of Jarman's Gap Road approximately ~ mile from
the intersection with Route 240. In the Crozet Community, it is recommended for urban density
of 6.01 - 34 dwelling units per acre.
Character of the Area: The area surrounding the property is largely undeveloped and rural. In
this part of Crozet, Jarman's Gap Road is a two-lane road, which has houses situated sparsely on
either side. Adjacent to the east is a large lot with a residence (the Haberly parcel) and, to the
west, the Gray Rock Orchard was recently rezoned for 154 single-family dwellings. The
property also backs up to the Orchard Acres subdivision.
Zoning and Subdivision History and By-right Use of the Property_: The property was
rezoned for a 51 unit single family subdivision in 1992. Proffers included a conceptual layout as
well as leaving a 100 foot stream buffer undisturbed.
Specifics on the Proposal: Design of the proposed development is shown on the application
plan in Attachment C. The general layout consists of a principle entrance to the property from
Jarman's Gap Road, and interparcel connections with the Gray Rock property to the west and the
Haberly property to the east. Design is centered on a central commons. TWo loop roads are
shown on the property with a central green area for active recreation and community commons.
Two blocks front Jarman's Gap Road in which residential and office units are proposed. It is in
these blocks, Blocks A & B, that any multifamily residential units would be located. Multi-
family units would likely be in the form of duplexes or quadraplexes. (See Attachment E for
clarification of housing type terminology.) These units primarily would front public streets.
Parking is shown in the center of the blocks. Attachment F shows the concept design for these
blocks. This design is for illustration only and is not proffered.
In the other blocks, residential uses would be limited t° single family detached or attached.
Other R-6 and PRD uses would be available by-right and by special use. A copy of these uses is
attached to the proffers.
Sixty percent of the units are anticipated as single family detached based on current market
conditions. Although this figure is not proffered, staff does not believe it to be necessary to
proffer a percentage of single family detached units since the area is proposed for urban density
in the Land Use Plan.
R-6 and PRD uses include:
Single family detached and attached units
Townhouses
Multiple-family dwellings, including duplexes and triplexes
Cluster development of permitted residential uses
Rental of permitted residential uses and guest cottages
Homes for developmentally disabled persons
Boarding houses
Tourist lodgings
Public and private utilities
Public uses and buildings
Temporary construction uses
Accessory uses and building including home occupations Class A
Special uses exempted from this application are:
Commercial swim, golf, tennis or similar athletic facilities
Mobile home subdivisions
Hospitals
Cemeteries
Mobile home parlr$
Rest homes, nursing homes, convalescent home, orphanage or similar institutions
Over three acres or 25% of the property is proposed as open space to be owned and maintained
by a Homeowners Association. Most of the open space would be along the stream to the north of
the property. Within the stream buffer, a nature trail is proposed to connect to the Gray Rock
nature trail and, eventually, to a County path system in a greenway.
Proffers and General Conditions include a limitation on the total number of units as 85;
dedication of 30 feet of right-of-way (r.o.w.) along Jarman's Gap Road; a right mm lane into the
development; shallow front yards; a community center; provision for residential type uses found
2
in the R-6 district, including boarding houses and tourist lodging; sidewalks on both sides of the
public streets (except along one street on the Park Block). Critical slopes and stream buffer have
been avoided in the development. Architectural restrictions will be developed for buildings in
the development.
Applicant's Justification for the Request: As stated in the General Conditions, the applicant
has requested the rezoning to provide a mixed use community with opportunities for residential,
office and other PRD and R-6 by-right uses in the Crozet development area. With design
features such as minimal setbacks, sidewalks, a central green, preservation of stream valleys,
dedication of open space, the development is intended to accomplish in Crozet a design in
keeping with the goals and objectives of the County's Comprehensive Plan.
Community Involvement: The applicant held four community meetings to introduce the
project to the community and ask for input into design and development. The Architectural
concepts shown in Attachment F were proposed to the community. The results of those
community meetings are in Attachment G.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the proposal for conformity with the
Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval with modified
proffers.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan shows this area to be a portion of one of two
areas in the Crozet community for high density development of 6.01 to 34 dwelling units per
acre. Specific recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan concerning Crozet and the way in
which this development meets the recommendations are as follows:
Land Use Plan for Crozet Community (Crozet Community Profile, pp. 89-94)
(Portions dealing with new residential development and Jarman's Gap Road areas)
Development in the Parrot Branch watershed is to be limited to the existing zoning because it is
a tributary to the Beaver Creek water supply reservoir. This development is not in the Parrot
Branch watershed.
The downtown is to be the focus of all new commercial and shopping type uses. This proposal
would provide mixed housing and office uses; however the office uses likely would not compete
w~ith shopping and commercial uses in the downtown area.
Reconstruct Jarman's Gap Road from Route 240 to Route 684 to improve horizontal and vertical
alignment and provide adequate sight distance at intersections. Bike facilities and walkways are
recommended to be constructed in conjunction with the upgrade of Jarman's Gap Road. Unlike
Gray Rock, the applicant does not intend to upgrade Jarman's Gap Road nor provide any off-site
cash proffers for the upgrading of the road2 This issue is discussed in more detail in the
transportation section of this report.
The Crozet Community Plan (relating to new residential development and Jarrnan's Gap Road
areas)
Layouts with a mix of housing types and price ranges should be considered with new
development. This type of layout permits the creation of more diverse and architecturally
interesting neighborhoods. The development of architectural guidelines has been proffered.
Potentially, the mix of housing types in Wayland's Grant will permit a variety of price ranges, as
well. Anticipated housing prices are between $100K and $160K for the attached units and $125
to $185 for the detached units. This price range targets a population, which earns approximately
$40,000 to $70,000 per year. (The housing prices are not proffered.) The lower end of this range
contains housing prices that meet the Albemarle County Housing Committee's standards of
affordability for the income sector of 80% - 100% of the Median Household Income.
Neighborhoods shouM be developed in small sections to allow for design flexibility that can
enhance and facilitate a more comfortable and human-scale neighborhood Development in
small sections can be more easily phased and provide opportunities to have homes with frontage
toward views and amenities. This proposal shows "blocks" instead of"cul-de-sacs" with a
surrounding loop. With the small front setbacks and sidewalks, the neighborhood appears to
have a more human scale.
Open space should be used when considering the circulation system for water, pedestrians,
bicycles and wildlife. It should be used to create a sense of privacy and act as an environmental
resource. Open space in this development is provided in two areas. In the interior of the
subdivision it is provided as a central park. Near the stream it is a protected area separating the
development from Orchard Acres and providing for a tot lot.
Land Use Standards for Designated Development Areas (General Land Use Standardspp: 20
- 22)
Development should be concentrated and clustered to protect environmental features.
Wayland's Grant protects environmental features through open space designations. The
Application Plan shoWs clusters of development away from the stream buffer, steep slopes, and
stream.
Existing forested areas acting as buffers between subdivisions should be maintained Waylands
Grant seeks to maintain the .buffer between the development and Orchard Acres
Limiting access points should minimize the impact of development on major roads. Wayland's
Grant fronts on Jarman's Gap Road and it is served by a single entrance but allows for
connections to adjoining properties.
A sense of community should be maximized byproviding connections between developments;
such connections may provide for additional recreational facilities, increased open space area,
bicycle/pedestrian links, improved public transit, emergency access, and access to schools,
parks, and other public facilities. In all but the area of public transit, Wayland's Grant will do
these things. JAUNT service, though, would be available to this development.
Underground utilities should be provided in new developments. Wayland's Grant will provide
utilities underground.
Features to prevent impact from impervious surfaces on water quality should be provided Best
management practices (bmp's) are shown in the front of the adjacent to Jarman's Gap Road and
along the intermittent stream.
Building orientation should be to public streets; parking areas do not need to be located
exclusively in front of buildings. This development, different than many other subdivisions in the
County, adopts many "neotraditional" characteristics which include closer front setbacks,
orientation to public streets and to greens. Parking shown on the application plan is
perpendicular to the public streets and internal to the blocks.
Where site illumination is proposed, down-directed and shielded lights should be used This
proposal does not call for any lighting; however lighting provided at the site plan phase will need
to meet the County's new lighting ordinance requirements.
Historic buildings shouM be adaptively reused There are no historic buildings on the site.
The phasing of developments should match service and infrastructure availability and capacity.
Water and sewer capacity is available and Jarman's Gap Road is to be widened by 2002.
Overall development density should be as high a level as is practical.. The Land Use Plan
suggests 6.01 to 34 dwelling units per acre. Development density in this proposal is 4.4 dwelling
units per acre. This density is viewed as being higher than the existing zoning which would yield
2.65 dwelling units per acre and higher than the nearby residential development. This
development would appear to be a practical balance between the recommendation of the Land
Use Plan and the surrounding area including the recently approved Gray Rock development.
(Gray Rock was approved for 2.4 dwelling units per acre.)
The integrity of adjacent residential areas should be maintained through use of buffering,
screening, and separation of adjacent non-residential uses. Common area open space and a
stream buffer separate orchard Acres from the development. One house adjoins the property to
the east of the site. The applicant antiCipates that this property will be redeveloped residentially
and has not proposed screening.
Developments should be designed with an internal orientation to foster a sense of place and
avoid the image of continuous suburban sprawl. Wayland's Grant is designed with an internal
orientation, which is centered on a green. A variety of lot sizes is anticipated with a mix of unit
types These design features along with streets with curb, gutter, and sidewalks should help to
avoid the image of continuous cul-de-sac sprawl. It is believed that this internally oriented
design will foster a greater sense of place than conventional development because of the
increased oppommities for social interaction. Privacy is also ensured with provisions for yards
and open space.
Provisions should be made for innovative design that reduces housing costs. The designs
proposed would allow for mixed uses within buildings or attached housing which should reduce
housing costs.
Lot design and residential layout should be based on a rational use of land that reflects
topographic and other physical features rather than massive grading to eliminate or counteract
those features. In this development, minor grading will be needed for road construction and lot
development. No encroachment into critical slopes will occur for building sites. Critical slopes
are protected along the stream and in the stream buffer. Within the stream buffer, the nature trail,
utilities, and drainage improvements are proposed.
Specific Standards for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Land Uses (Residential
Densities and Relationships to Other Land Uses; Residential Development Design, pp. 22-23)
In rezoning deliberations, the county should be mindful of the intent to encourage infill
development, contain most future growth within the designated Development Areas, and avoid
rural development pressure. Unless contrary to matters of public health and safety, residential
rezoning to the upper end of the Comprehensive Plan recommended land use density ranges
should be favored even if the density exceeds that of surrounding developments. In Waylands
Grant, as with the recently reviewed Springridge, density is less than that recommended in the
comprehensive Plan. It is greater than the density of surrounding developments and the recently
approved Gray Rock development. As previously stated, it provides for greater density than the
by-right use and higher density than surrounding developments.
Maintenance of the integrity of residential areas should be accomplished using buffering,
screening, and physical separation of adjacent nonresidential uses. To the rear of the property,
residences developments are separated by the stream and stream buffer. To the east of the
property, a single house is present on 3.4 acres of land proposed for urban density residential
development. The applicant considered screening along this' boundary to help provide for
privacy to the adjoining parcel. He decided, however, that, with the residential use indicated on
the Comprehensive Plan for this property that such screening would not be warranted. He has
agreed to retain the vegetation at this location during construction but has not proffered to
maintain a screen at this location.
For larger developments, layout and design shouM provide for varying building orientation and
setback, dwelling unit type, faqade treatment, and lot size to avoid repetitiveness. Open space
shouM be employed as a design feature to establish and define smaller neighborhood areas
within the larger developments. The PRD/PUD approach is particularly applicable for larger
developments. The PRD is proposed for this development. Building orientation, setback
dwelling unit type, and the use of open space are used to make this development more
"neotraditional" in style than a conventional cul-de-sac type development.
6
Land Use Designation (Residential Land use pp. 25 - 26)
Urban Density Residential areas should have a gross density of between 6. O1 and 20 dwellings
per acre with possible densities of up to 34 dwellings per acre under a planned development
(PRD/PUD). Waylands Grant proposes a density of 4.4 dwelling units per acre.
Urban Density Residential areas are intended to accommodate residential uses other than single
family detached dwellings. This development proposes a mix of single family dwelling types.
Urban Density Residential areas are not intended for development at densities below 6 dwellings
per acre. This development would provide for a density below 6 units per acre.
Development densities within the Urban Density Residential area should ultimately be based on
environmental criteria, road function and condition, available utilities, adjacent land uses, and
site requirements. The proposed development avoids environmentally sensitive areas and
provides for the urban cross section of road. Utilities are available to serve the development and
the use is viewed to be compatible with existing and proposed adjacent land uses.
STAFF COMMENT
Relationship between the application and the purpose and intent of the requested zoning
district
The purpose and intent of the Planned Residential Development is to
· encourage sensitivity toward the natural characteristics of the site and toward impact on the
surrounding area in land development
· promote economical and efficient land use
· provide an improved level of amenities, appropriate and harmonious physical development,
and creative design
· provide flexibility and a variety of development opportunities for residential purposes
· use open space .for recreation, protection of areas sensitive to development, provide buffering
between dissimilar uses and preserve agricultural activity
Wayland's Grant meets the intent and purpose of the district by providing for a diversity of
housing types and a mixing of uses with sensitivity to environmental features, "neotraditional"
type design, open space and park amenities, and connections to adjoining developments.
Public need and justification for the change
The Comprehensive Plan promotes infill development in the designated neighborhoods,
communities, and the Village of Rivanna. It further describes characteristics which new
developments should have. Housing demands in the community are to be filled in the
development areas. This property is suggested for housing development with a density of 6.01-
34 dwelling units per acre. The design and development plan cOntains most of the characteristics
recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. The goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the needs
of the community would appear to justify this rezoning proposal
Anticipated impact on public facilities and services
Transportation - Principle access to the property will be from Jarman's Gap Road;
secondary access will be from the Gray Rock subdivision. Jarman's Gap Road is expected to
be improved by 2002. The width and number of lanes has not yet been determined; however,
it is to have a bike lane and sidewalks.
The Proffers and General Conditions commit to a 30 foot right-of-way dedication for
Jarrnan's Gap Road and construction of a right mm lane into the development. Street trees
are proffered along Jarman' Gap Road, however, they are to be planted on the Wayland's
Grant property in conjunction with the development of Blocks A & B.
Within the development, an urban cross-section street is proposed with curb, gutter, and
sidewalks along all roads except a portion of the park block, which would not have houses.
Road widths of 36 feet near the entrance and 28 feet throughout the development, are
proposed. On the 36-foot section, on-street parking is proposed.
Staff is awaiting verification from VDOT that the 28 foot width can be approved since the
road connection with Gray Rock means that additional traffic may travel on the roads in this
neighborhood. Staff anticipates that the section will be approved as shown.
As with the Gray Rock proposal, VDOT's comments mostly revolved around the impacts to
Jarman's Gap Road and the intersection with Route 240. The Gray Rock proposal offered
$500 per building lot to help defray costs associated with this intersection improvement. The
Wayland's Grant proposal does not offer cash proffers for the same improvements. Instead,
the developer has offered more amenities within the development such as a central park area,
curb and gutter, and sidewalks on both sides of the streets and within the park. block. It is
these amenities (from Land Use Plan recommendations for neighborhood type development)
on which the staff has concentrated. In conjunction with the developer's intent to provide
housing within a price range affordable to households at 80 - 100% of the median family
income in the County, staff views this trade-off as appropriate.
Street trees on subdivision streets within the development are not provided because of the
compactness of the development. With a proposed r.o.w, of 44 feet, only 8 feet of space is
left on each side for both utilities and sidewalks. With a proposed minimum 10 feet setback,
the applicant believes that the addition of street trees would make the appearance too
"crowded". To move the utilities to the rear of the lots would add extra expense that the
applicant would like to avoid in order to keep the housing prices more affordable.
Interparcel connections are provided to the Gray Rock property as well as to the Haberly
property. This connection is planned as a rural cross section to give the appearance of a
"lane". Commitments have been made to construct a trail to connect to the Gray Rock
pedestrian paths along the roads. Now that paths will be provided on both sides of the road
in Gray Rock, a modification of the Wayland's Grant conceptual plan will be needed to
provide sidewalks or paths on both sides of the connecting road in Wayland's Grant.
Regarding the connection to the Haberly property, the applicant has proffered to reserve this
area for a period of 7 years for connection to the Haberly property. In this scenario, a future
developer of the Haberly property would have to build the road connection within the right-
of-way 7 years from the approval date or that road connection would expire and the property
would be available as a building site or revert to the adjoining properties. Staff believes that,
to maintain an opportunity for permanent connection to that property is more advantageous;
however, the Haberly parcel is only 3.4 acres with a large existing house. Design around that
house would reduce many opportunities for major development of the parcel at urban density.
Reduetion in Requested Parking: As part of this proposal, the applicant has requested a
20% reduction in parking for Blocks A & B. This request is justified because of the on-street
parking proposed which more than adequately makes up for the loss in on-site spaces.
Additionally, the hours of operation of the offices will be restricted to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. so that
an overlap of parking lot use will not occur.
Schools - Students from Wayland's Grant would attend Crozet Elementary School, Henley
Middle School, and Western Albemarle High School. Using the County's multipliers, the
development would produce 20 elementary school students, 9 middle school students, and 11
high school students for a total amount of 40 additional students. The by-right development
would produce 24 additional students.
Henley and Western Albemarle have capacity for students well in excess of existing
enrollment. Crozet Elementary and Brownsville Elementary each have additional capacity,
although at each school, that capacity is less than 100 additional students. Brownsville
Elementary plans an expansion that would add 5 additional classrooms by 2003.
Redistricting between Crozet Elementary and Brownsville Elementary could be done in
future years to accommodate the anticipated increase in development in Crozet for the next
several years.
Water and Sewer: Public water and sewer would be extended to the property. It is shown
on the application plan as being in the streets. VDOT prefers that manholes and other
utilities be outside of the street, so, in final subdivision or site plans, the utilities may end up'
being on the lots.
Stormwater Management: The property drains two directions -towards Jarman's Gap Road
and towards the creek to the rear of the parcel. A piped system of stormwater detention is
proposed along Jarman' Gap Road; however, other detention and bmps are possible in this
area which the applicant has considered. Anticipating a possible need for a nonpiped
solution, the applicant has asked for a reduction in parking spaces and rear access for four
units to free up other space in this area for detention.
9
For the area along the intermittent stream, best management practices (bmp's) are proposed in
the stream buffer. These bmp's would likely be small basin/traps at the base of the pipes No
bmp's are required according to the County's Water Protection Ordinance as the tributary
feeds into the Lickinghole; however provision ofbmp's at this location is viewed to be
consistent with the provision for bmp's in the Gray Rock development.
Public recreational facilities: The applicant has proffered to build a trail along the creek
which, as with Gray Rock, could be conveyed to the County if the homeowners wish to do so
when it connects to something more than just Gray Rock. In addition, 3.8 acres of land will
be conveyed to the homeowners. A tot lot will be put in the common area near the creek.
The central commons will be more of an open park like setting.
Fiscal impact to public facilities - The County has reviewed the anticipated fiscal impacts
and that analysis is provided in Attachment H. The impacts of the by-right development
were measured and compared with the proposed rezoning. According to the fiscal impact
model's estimates, the approval of this rezoning would lead to a differential net annual
impact of negative $47,000 of which $35,000 would be related to CIP costs and $12,000
would be related to operating costs. (This $47,000 is the difference between Wayland's
Grant as proposed and a by-right development.) As with most residential developments, the
cost to provide services exceeds the amount of taxes anticipated per dwelling unit.
Anticipated impact on natural, cultural, and historic resources - No impact is anticipated on
historic resources and the office uses are not expected to impact the viability of Crozet's
downtown.
Existing environmental resources: Environmental resources at this site include woods,
steep slopes, streams, wetlands, and floodplain. The site is covered with vegetation - both
mature trees and scrub trees. Although not proffered, the applicant intends to preserve as
much of the tree cover as possible during grading. Any additional tree removal would occur
with homebuilding, depending on the type of home anticipated for each lot. For the
development areas, a loss of forested areas is expected. The riparian buffer along the creek
will not be disturbed.
Steep slopes - NO construction is proposed on steep slopes. They are all to be protected with
the stream buffer.
Streams -An intermittent unnamed tributary to Powell's Creek separates this parcel from
Orchard Acres. This stream is not shown as a significant feature on the County's Open
Space Plan.
Wetlands - There are no known wetlands on the property.
SUMMARY
Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request:
10
The proposed rezoning provides for a design, which is in keeping with all
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan.
Wayland's Grant meets the intent and purpose of the district by providing for a diversity
of housing types and a mixing of uses with sensitivity to environmental features,
"neotraditional" type design, pedestrian access, and open space and park amenities.
Community input was sought and utilized in the final design for the project.
Staff has identified the following factors, which are unfavorable to this request:
1. The density is less than density proposed as part of the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff has worked extensively with the applicant for this rezoning for several months. The
applicant began the process by seeking public input, then bringing the proposed development and
design to the County. Issues relating to environmental preservation, provision of sidewalks, and
an urban road section were resolved before application was made. The design based on a central
green and surrounding mixed housing types was refined as were the ways to implement
innovative ideas for mixed building uses in a portion of the development. As with the recently
reviewed Springridge, staff believes that this proposal brings a new look to housing in a
development area. Although density is not at the level proposed in the Comprehensive Plan, it is
greater than the by-right development and other recently approved rezonings in Crozet. The
"attached" type housing product provides opportunities for home ownership in a unique new
"neotraditional" type neighborhood in Crozet, in keeping with almost all design characteristics
recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. The nature trail will allow for inteparcel connections
as will the road connections to the Gray Rock parcels and, potentially, the Haberly parcel.
As a result of the design of the development and conformity in all areas but density with the
Comprehensive Plan, staff recommends approval of ZMA 98-18 and a 20% reduction in parking
for Blocks A & B.

property described in rezoning application #ZMA-98-18 and is all of Tax Map 55, parcels 66A
and 66. If Applicant's rezoning application is denied, these proffers shall immediately be null
and void and have no further force or effect. These proffers shall supersede all other proffers
made prior to this date.
Plans and Illustrations.
Applicant has presented as part of its Rezoning Application, an application plan entitled,
"Wayland's Grant Conceptual Plan", dated 10/20/98, revised 11/2/98, revised 11/9/98~ and
initialed "EKE", which is attached to these Proffers and General Conditions.
I. Density
No more than 85 dwelling units may be constructed on the Property.
II. Road Improvements
2.1 Dedication. As a condition of plat approval for the subdivision, Applicant shall
dedicate along the entire southern boundary of the Property, an area of land for widening
State Route 691 (Jan'nan's Gap Road) not to exceed 30' to the centerline of the existing
prescriptive easement as shown on the Conceptual Plan. Applicant and successors in title
shall grant easements for temporary construction of improvements to State Route 691, as
needed.
2.2 Road Improvements. Access shall be restricted to an intemal public road network. As a
condition of plat approval for the subdivision, Applicant shall construct as a single
improvement, a 100 foot dght turn lane and 100 foot taper for westbound dght turn movement
into the Property from State Route 691 as indicated on the Conceptual Plan.
Public Roads: The public streets within the neighborhood shall be at the widths shown on
the Conceptual Plan and designed and constructed in accordance with the VDOT 1996
Subdivision Street Requirements.
2.3 Disposition of Dedicated Property. In the event any of the property, in Sec.
2.1dedicated pursuant to proffer is not used for the purpose for which it is proffered, with
such use being undertaken within 10 years of receipt of the property by the County, then the
property shall revert to HOA. 1RECEIVED
2.4 Inter-Parcel Access. The Applicant shall reserve a 50-foot right-of-way/~Va '~t~i~
street to provide inter-parcel accesses to the adjoining properties, east and west of ,the
Planning Dept.
Property. The locations are shown on the Conceptual Plan. In the event that the area
reserved for a street(s) is not used for the purpose for which it is hereby proffered within
seven (7) years from the date of approval of ZMA-98-18, then such reservation shall be
released and the Applicant then may use the area(s) for building lot(s) notwithstanding the
density limitation contained in Article 1 above or at Applicant's option, such area may accrue
to the adjoining lots. For the connection to the Gray Rock parcel to the west, the Applicant
shall construct a road meetin~County rural profile standards in the r.o.w, prior to the issuance
of a building permit for the 50'" unit.
III. Open Space
3.1 Open space for the development is shown on the Conceptual Plan as Community
Open Space and Community Commons.
3.2
Within the Community Open Space, Applicant will construct a tot lot and a nature trail.
The nature trail will be constructed within the stream buffer zone shown on the
Conceptual Plan with the improvements for the lots adjacent to the stream buffer. If
the trail is to be constructed adjacent to the stream and the stream meanders onto
adjacent property, the trail may be placed on adjoining properties if the County obtains
the necessary easements on those adjoining properties. The HOA will reserve the
stream buffer including the nature trail for dedication to the COunty at such time that
adjoining properties convey a greenway or similar path system to the County for
continuation of the greenway on the unnamed intermittent stream which leads to the
greenway along Powell's Creek
3.3
Applicant will convey in fee simple the Community Open Space and the Community
Commons to the Wayland's Grant Homeowners Association ("HOA") before final bond
release for public improvements for the development.
IV
Owners Association and Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions
4.1 Declaration. The Applicant shall prepare and place on the Property, a Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (the "Declaration").
The Declaration's purpose will be to facilitate the planning and development of the Property in
a unified and consistent manner. The Declaration shall set forth covenants, conditions and
restrictions for pdvate enforcement only by homeowners within the Property. A clear'intent of

I have been working with Bob Bargamin on the development of Wayland's Grant since
October of last year. We have conducted four community meetings since April of 1998.
The meeting were held either at the Meadows Community Center or at the Crozet Library.
The'meeting dates were: April 13, 1998; June 3, 1998; June 25, 1998; and October 21,
1998. The average turnout was about ten people per meeting except the last meeting only
having two citizens participating.
Invitations were delivered by hand, mail and phone. The phone invitations were to the
Fried Companies, Inc. or to one of their representatives. The original copies of the
invitations accompany this letter along with the written comments that we received The
meeting typically lasted between an hour and two hours.
The meeting were comprised of three basic components. I, a planner and/or a consulting
architect were present to address the comments and questions asked by the public. The
meeting format usually began with an overview of the existing by-right development
potential on the property and then a basic explanation of what the owner wanted to do
currently. Visual aids, conceptual land plans, architectural drawings were used to promote
the owner's ideas for the development.
The meetings were focused to solicit community input into the design, character,
architecture, density, and impact of the development on the community of Crozet. The
owner wanted this information to facilitate ,first, the design of the community; and
secondly, to address concerns that the community had regarding the property's
development.
The participating community citizens raised questions regarding impacts on county
infrastructure but seemed to have an overriding concern regarding the design of the
development. Design and architecture governing the development appeared to outweigh
questions of density.
If you need additional information regarding the meetings, please let me know.
Attendance rosters for each of the meetings along with the citizen comments are
enclosed. We viewed the community meetings as a very positive and helpful aspect of the
development process.

Minutes
General Community comments;
Can understand I house/acre but not more density
· Need to plan neighborhoods or else I acre "cookie cutter" development will occur all along Jarman
Gap Road up to the growth area boundary.
· Must propose a good project to keep the growth area boundary "as is."
· Appreciated the charrette (January 10) and recommend others attend the next one. We've got to
preserve the natural setting,
· We will have no rural area left ff we do not pl~-~ creatively.
· Jarman Gap Road is to be redesigned to include a bike lane and sidewalks. Need to get assurances
from the County that this will happen,
· Developer, however, is under no obligation to folIow through with any design.
· Developers will become educated as well.
· The hope is that the development process becomes more collaborative between the community and
developers.
· What is the developer planning to do? Can we wait until after May 16 when more pex~ple attend the
charrette?
· Would like to see some houses at $200,000 range.
· Want buffer on our edge.
· What guarantees do we have that the road will be upgraded?
· Is there any difficulty with sewer access?
· Road is scheduled for 2002. We would have to go to the Board of Supervisors to make sure
commitment is made.
Cliff's General Responses and Questions.
· We will draw up three conceptual site plans.
· Final submittal is June 29th.
· What characteristics do you want the project to have?
· Mr. Bargerman has done spot borings to test soils.
· Sewer runs along the baclc
· Propose nature wails.
Community Comments on Rough Schematic Site Plans by Cliff and Bob Kirchman.
· Like a variety of houses.
· Lots of foliage.
· Critical piece is frontage on Jarman Gap Roa{[ There is currently a 50' buffer. Some proposals for this
piece (or half of block) were: I3 co-housing, 2.) the lawn, 3.)duplexes, 4.) lots with long from
setbacks and houses which face Jarman Gap Road. back alleys and a row of houses which front an
internal street. 5.) ball field/park to connect with and be an asset to the other neighborhoods.
· One other scheme proposed diagonally connecting the proposed park Coall field) on Jarman Gap to the
stand of hardwoods which will be used a picnic area and trail head.
· Regardless, Jarman Gap must be "user fi'iendly." Very concerned about sfety and what "face" is
shown to Jarman Gap.
· A pedestrian grid could connect to other neighbors and recreational space.
· Grid pattern of streets will slow down traffic.
· Put the open space (commons or "tot" lot) in the middle, with maybe a picnic shelter. Want to pull
neighbors in, not jnst bring them to the border.
· Don't need the ball park as there is ample fields elsewhere.
· An urban profile is proffered (i.e. there will be sidewalks:) Question: will this be integral curb and
gutter abutting a concrete walk?
· Storm water detention is a critical issue. Want to create pervious surfaces to handle ir
· Maybe do 100 lots on this site.
· Allow opportunities to connect with Gray Rock site. (Gray Rock currently is approved for 70
townhouses.)
· Success of the project is predicated on road improvements and kids going to Crozet Elementary.
· Provide a variety of housing types; affordable attached housing and smaller sized units to maim~in a
population mix (not just family oriented housing which poses costs to the school system.)
· Concern about verticality. Do not think people will by three story houses.
· Comments were made about St. George Street in Crozet. It is an attractive, desirable part of Crozet
and it represents the vernacular Virginia rural town.
· The rural town has been trashed by suburban development.
· See "Monterey" and Corkie project. Designers used context to develop house prototypes.
· Get some of the best of Crozet...get the vernacular of the area. Respect the contexL "Somewhere a
xdsta tells me I'm in the Blue Ridge Mountains."
· Have the landscape plan and architectural schemes work in concert. .
· Try to have mature landscaping up front.
Landscape features must be documented on the palus.
· Use any common land to its best advantage (views, accessibility to residences, other neighborhoods
and natural areas and trails.)

FROM: Steven A. Allshouse
DATE: November 5, 1998
RE: ZMA 98-018 (Waylands)
I ran two scenarios for Waylands. The first scenario involved the by-right development of Waylands
with 51 single family detached residences. I assumed a six year build out schedule, with 9 units
constructed in years one, three, and five, and 8 units built in years two, four, and six. I also assumed
that each unit would have a market value of $155,000. Below is the CRIM average cost model's
projected net annual fiscal impact, after build out, from this development:
Fiscal Impact (By-Right Dev.)
Property Taxes
Other Revenues
Total Revenues
School Expenditures
County Govt. Expenditures
Total Expenditures
Net Annual Fiscal Impact
$46,000
91,000
$137,000
($ 54,000)
(33,000)
($287,000)
($150,000)
This scenario indicates that the by-right development of Waylands would result in a net cash ouflow
from the County.' Keep in mind that residential developments of this sort generally do not pay for
themselves and that there is nothing unusual about this particular residential project which forces the
fiscal impacts to be negative. Pupil generation is the biggest factor causing residential development
to have a negative fiscal impact. In the case ofWaylands, CRIM estimated that after full build out
the by-right development would account for 25 students enrolled in the County'S schools. Of this
figure, 12 would be elementary students, 6 would be middle school students, and 7 would be high
school students.
ZMA 98-018

In terms of the County's Capital Improvement Program (C[P), CRIM estimated that after full build
out the by-right development of Waylands would have the net annual impact shown below.

This negative $99,000 Net Annual CIP Impact figure accounts for a significant portion of the
negative $150,000 net annual fiscal impact mentioned on page one. The $51,000 difference
represents the annual operating deficit to the County of the by-right development of Waylands.
The second scenario I ran involved the proposed development of Waylands. I assumed that 51
single family detached residences (SFD's) and 34 single family attached or townhouse residences
(SFA/TH's) would be built over a six year period, with eight or nine SFD's and five or six
SFA/TH's being completed in each year. CRI2M estimated the following annual net fiscal impact,
after build out, for this project.

The proposed development of Waylands, as was the case with the by-right development, would
result in a net cash outflow from the County. Once again, pupil generation is the biggest factor
causing this development to have a negative fiscal impact. In the case ofWaylands, CRIM estimated
that, after full build out, the proposed development would account for 34 students enrolled in the
County's schools. Of this figure, 17 would be elementary students, 8 would be middle school
students, and 9 would be high school students.
In terms of the County's CIP, CRIM estimated that, after full build out, the proposed development
of Waylands would have the net annual impact shown below.
CIP Impact (Proposed Dev.)

($134,000)
This negative $134,000 Net Annual CIP Impact figure accounts for a significant portion of the
negative $197,000 net annual fiscal impact mentioned on page two. The $63,000 difference
represents the annual operating deficit to the County of the proposed development of Waylands.
A comparison of the by-right and proposed development of Waylands gives an idea of the
differential impact of approving ZMA 98-018. Under the by-right development scenario, the net
annual fiscal impact would be a negative $150,000 of which $99,000 would be related to CIP costs
and $51,000 would be related to operating costs. Under the proposed development scenario, the net
annual fiscal impact would be a negative $197,000 of which $134,000 would be related to CI? costs
and $63,000 would be related to operating costs. According to CRIM's estimates, the approval
of ZMA 98-018 would lead to a differential net annual' fiscal impact of negative $47~000 of
which $35,000 would be related to CIP costs and $12,000 would be related to operating costs.
Note that this negative differential fiscal impact does not necessarily mean that ZMA 98-018 should
be denied. Residential development, as previously mentioned, generally does not pay for itself.
Commercial projects, however, usually have a positive fiscal impact. If the County approves a
sufficient amount of commercial development in any given year, the positive fiscal impact resulting
ZMA 98-018
November 5, 1998
Page Four
from the approval of commercial development might equal or even outweigh the negative fiscal
impact resulting from the approval of residential development projects. From a fiscal impact
standpoint, in other words, Albemarle should either examine the County-wide situation and make
sure the total mix of development approvals is fight or, alternately, should begin to encourage mixed
use development in each project under consideration for approval.
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board
I am Paul St. Pierre representing Fried Companies, the developer of'
GrayRock, which you recently rezoned. We have two concerns--fair and
equal treatment and the possible impact of commercial activities on our
homesites along the border with the Bargamin tract.
You may recall that we were required to place a 50' buffer between the rear
of our houses and our rear lot lines on the western side of our property. That
buffer is required to be maintained in a natural state, and to be planted with
trees.
I understand that nothing in the zoning ordinance requires anything more
than 20feet to our property line from the rear of any building on the
Bargamin tract, even though multi-family and commercial development will
be built on the Bargamin tract. From our reading of the proffers, the offices
couM be mixed with the multi-family or built separately. The Board, of
course, can require additional space as it did in our rezoning.
The Bargamin application requests a reduction of 20°/6 of the required
parking on the grounds that the professional office will be in operation
between 8:00 a.m. and 5.00p. m. Although there appears to be sufficient
street parking, we are concerned that office visitors and multi-family
residents with more than one carper family not use access to GrayRock and
park there. It is most likely that these professional offices will be doctors'
offices, which generate large parking requirements. We note in passing that
the staff summary to the Planning Commission states that the offices will be
restricted to the hours 8:00 a.m. to 5:00p. m. Who is going to police this
restriction? Assuming it is a proffer. You may recall this Board required
GrayRock to convey property for the buffer in fee simple, because it felt a
proffer of an easement would be too difficult to monitor.
Residents of the single-family detached houses to the west of GrayRock-
which are the same as GrayRock- declined any inter-parcel access. We
agreed to inter-parcel access based on the then configuration of the
Bargamin tract as being also single-family detached houses.
We ask that you consider now the reactions of GrayRock homeowners when
multi-family and commercial activities take place 20feet from them without
any buffer or protection, and commercial traffic comes through their
development.
Thank you.

SP 98-51 Triton Communications/Vepco (Barracks Road)
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to place additional antennas on the existing VEPCO tower located south of
Ban'acks Road. The additional antennas will be for Triton Communications. The e~sting power line is
nonconforming and requires approval of a special use permit in order for additional use to be made of the
power line tower. The applicant has provided detailed information about the location and design of the
proposed facility. The applicant's information is included as Attachment C.
Petition:
Proposal to construct a Personal Wireless Service Facility on an existing Vepco high voltage power line. This
requires a special use permit in accord with the provisions of Section 10.2.2.(6). The proposal is to locate
antenna approximately 4 feet above the height of the existing Vepco monopole located on the west side of
Barracks Road approximately 0.26 miles east of Route 601, Old Garth Road in the Samuel Miller
Magisterial District. The property consists of approximately 53 acres and is described as Tax Map 60,
Pared 3, and is zoned gA, Rural Areas. This site is not located within a designated development area.
Character of the Area:
A high voltage and low voltage power line cross Barracks Road at this property. The two power lines run
roughly east/west. The high voltage power line is supported by 116 foot tall monopole structures. The closest
dwelling, not located on the parcel under review, is located approximately 1,000 feet distant. The area outside
of the power line corridor is predominately wooded.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance and recommends approval with conditions.
Planning and Zonine Histo-rv:
None available.
Comprehensive Plan:
Staffnotes that in order to construct the proposed facility no cleating for access or the provision of electrical
service will be required. Therefore, the only impacts reviewed for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Zoning Ordinance is the location of the antenna on the existing power line tower and the location of
the ground based equipment.
This site is located in the Rural Areas of the Comprehensive Plan and the Entrance Corridor as identified in
the Comprehensive Plan, Open Space Plan. Currently the Comprehensive Plan contains limited review
'"%
criteria for the siting of telecommunication towers. The Open Space Plan does provide some guidance for the
protection of identified resources of the County. The resources identified in the plan and potentially affected
by this application includes the Entrance Corridor. The Entrance Corridor O~erlay District is currently
addressed by the ARB, Architectural Review Board.
This tower is intended, primarily, to provide service to the Barracks Road corridor. Barracks Road in this
area is designated as an Entrance Corridor. The visual impact of using the power line tower should be less
than would occur to the corridor if a free standing tower the same height as the power line tower were
constructed outside of the corridor. (The impact of using multiple "tree top" facilities to serve the same area
as the power line facility cannot be determined at this time. Such a determination would require the applicant
to submit various site specific proposals.) The ground based equipment will not be visible from Barracks
Road due to the terrain. (The ground based equipment is located on the opposite side of a small hill from
Barracks Road.)
It is the opinion of staffthat the use of the existing power line tower for antenna attachment will have a
limited impact on the Entrance Corridor and, therefore, this request is not contrary to the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staff offers the following discussion related to tower siting within utility corridors:
Use of existing structures has generally been endorsed as a means to facilitate the provision of
wireless service with minimal impact to the County. Attachment on existing structures has occurred
"by-right" on some towers, buildings and water tanks. These attachments to existing conforming
structures has not, in the opinion of staff, resulted in negative impacts. The proposed attachment to
power line towers makes use of existing utility corridors. While existing power line corridors have
negative visual impacts in most instances and these utility corridors have towers which are as tall as
the tallest conventional free standing personal wireless service towers, the use of these towers for
antennas allows for a large service area without significant additional negative visual impact. The
attachment of antenna to these power line towers does not result in significant additional negative
visual impact as the equipment installed by the personal wireless service provider appears
similar/compatible with the nature of the existing power line and power line tower. With a large
service area being provided by use of existing power line towers the total number of sites required by
a personal wireless service provider can be reduced, therefore, potentially reducing the overall impact
on the County. "
Staff offers the following diagram to aid in the review of the this application.
Staffwill address the issues of this request in three sections:
Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Section 704(a)(7)Co)(I)(II) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special Use permits
permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued
upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adiacent property,
Approval of this special use permit will permit the attachment of additional antenna to the existing power line
tower. As previously noted, staff opinion is that the addition of panel type antenna will have limited visual
impact. Additional antenna will result in a limited change in the appearance of the tower as the tower height
will only be increased by approximately 4 feet and the panel antenna will tend to appear as part of the
existing tower features (insulators, connectors and wires). No new entrance onto Barracks Road will be
required and no additional clearing will be necessary. Staff opinion is that approval would not cause a
substantial detriment to adjacent property. Additional information may be provided by the public during the
public heatings on the issue of potential impacts.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby,
Based on the limited change in the visibility of this tower and the utility corridor staff opinion is that this
request complies with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as stated in Sections 1.4} 1.5 and 1.6 with
particular reference to Sections 1.4, 1.4.4, and 1.5. All of these provisions address, in one form or another,
the provision of public services. The use of mobile telephones clearly provides a public service as evidenced
by the expanded and rapid increase in use. (Triton Communications represents the 4th personal wireless
service provider of phone service in the County.) Based on the provision of a public service, staff opinion is
that this request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of these sections of the ordinance. Section 1.4.3
states as an intent of the Ordinance, "To facilitate the creatibn of a convenient, attractive and harmonious
community". The provision of this facility does increase the availability and convenience for users of
wireless phone technology.
Staff in prior reviews for telecommunication facilities has noted that the visibility of the site may be
inconsistent with the intent of providing an attractive community. As approval of this permit will result in
limited change in the visibility from surrounding areas staff opinion is that this request does comply with this
provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance.
with the uses permitted by right in the district,
The proposal will not restrict the current uses, other by right uses available on this site, or by right uses on
any other property.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance,
Section 5.1.12 of the ordinance contains regulations governing tower facilities and no conditions are
necessary to ensure compliance with this provision of the ordinance as this is an existing facility.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
The provision of ina'eased communication facilities may be considered consistent with the public health,
safety and general welfare by providing increased communication services in the event of emergencies and
increasing overall general communication services. The 1996 Telecommunications Act addresses issues of
environmental effects with the following language: No state or local government or insmunentality thereof
may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis
of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the
Commission's regulations concerning such emissions. In order to operate this facility the applicant is
required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions. This requirement will adequately protect
the public health and safety.
Section 704(a)(7)Co)(D(II) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
The regulation of the placement, construction and modification of personal wireless facilities by any state or
local government or instnmaentality thereof shall not prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision
of personal wireless services.
Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the provision of personal wireless
service. Staff does not believe that the special use permit process nor the denial of this application has the
effect of prohibiting the provision or personal wireless services. The applicant has not demonstrated that
there are no other locations within the proposed area of service currently available for new facility
construction. For this reason, staffdoes not believe that denial of this application would have the effect of
prohibiting the provision of services.
Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Commission may waive the drawing of a site plan if requiring a site plan would not forward the purpose
of the ordinance or otherwise serve the public interest. Generally the site review committee has endorsed the
use of site plan waivers for the establishment oftelecommtmicatio~ facilities. This general endorsement is
based on the relatively small area impacted by the proposed use and the ability to obtain the required
information through an erosion and sediment control plan and the building permits. In this case the
construction of the facility will require activity only for the construction of the ground equipment, provision
of a parking are (additional gravel) and adequate drainage. Based on the minimal activity necessary for
installation staff is unable to identify any purpose, which would be served by requiring the submission of a
site plan. Staff recommends approval of a full site plan waiver subject to the following conditions:
Approval of an erosion and sediment control plan prior to the issuance of a building permit if the
area of disturbance exceeds 10,000 square feet;
Provision of one parking space.
SUMMARY:
5
Staffhas identified the following factors which are favorable to this request:
The tower will provide increased wireless capacity which may be considered consistent with the
provisions of Sections 1.4, 1.4.4 and 1.5.
Additional use of the power line tower will not restrict permitted uses on adjacent properties.
This request generally complies with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The addition of antenna will result in little change in the power line tower's visibility or the
appearance of the utility corridor.
Approval of this request allows for collocation on an existing structure and alleviates the need for the
construction of new facilities elsewhere.
Staff has not identified factors which are unfavorable to this request.
The following factor is relevant to this consideration:
1. There is an existing reasonable use of the property.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff opinion is that the site will accommodate the proposed telecommunication facilities without creating
adverse impacts. Therefore, staffis able to recommend approval of this request. Should the Board choose to
approve this request, staff has provided conditions of approval,
(In the event that the Board chooses to deny this application staff offers the following comment:
In order to comply with the provisions of the Telecommunication Act, staff request consensus direction fi.om
the Board regarding the basis for denial of the application and instruction to staff to return to the Board with
a written decision for the Board's consideration and action.)
Recommended Conditions of ApproVal:
Attachment to the power line tower shall be in general accord with the plan titled "CV-1-303C
Existing Power Pole Vepco-Allan" attached to this report and initialed WDF 10/28/98.

The antenna on the tower shall be disassembled and removed fi.om the site within ninety (90) days of
the date their use for wireless telecommunications purposes is discontinued.
Should the Planning Commission support a waiver of the requirements of a site plan the Planning
Commission only must take the following action in order to authorize a site plan waiver.
A waiver of the drawing of a site plan has been granted in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2:2.

SAMUEL MILLER, JACK JOUIs~-~[ AND
GHARLOTTESVILE. E DISTRIGTS ..:
ATTACHMENT C
What is the Comprehensive Plan designation for this property?
Recomm ended for Urban Use.
How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
The proposed use will have no adverse effect on the adjacent property. Because the height of the antennas
measure only 60 inches, the height of the tower will be only raised a relatively small amount (the existing
Virginia Power transmission tower will be raised fi.om 116. I' to 120', with the top of the panel antennas
rising another 30 inches). This activity will not create any additional negative visual impact then that of
the existing transmission tower.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district surrounding the property?
Because the property is already improved with the 116.1-foot transmission tower, the character of the
district surrounding the property will not be adversely effected by the addition of the 60-inch antenna to the
monopole.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance?
Although the property is zoned R-A, the Virginia power improvement changed the use of the land from
dense residential to utilitarian in order to accommodate the public demand for a greater capacity of
electricity. The appurtenance of the antenna allows the applicant to meet the demands of the residents of
Albemarle County for additional coverage, capacity and quality of service for wireless phone use. By
utilizing the existing Virginia Power Structure, the applicant will be able to accommodate this demand
without disrupting raw land or the county's cherished natural resources.
How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the district?
The use is not in conflict of other uses permitted by right in the district. The small equipment cabinet will
be unmanned. No vehicle traffic or noise will be generated by this use. Because the use requires little
clearing of natural vegetation, it is conducive to the promotion of natural landscaping, prevention of
erosion and will not disrupt the value and utility of the adjacent properties in the district.
What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply to this use?
Section 5.1.12 outlines public utility structures and uses.
Subsection (a) requires that "the location will not impair the health and safety of workers and/or residents
in the community and will not impair or prove detrimental to neighboring properties or the development of
same." This site will have no ongoing workers. In addition studies have found that such structures do not
effect the property values in the areas. In this case, there will be relatively no additional impact in the
perception of this property, because the antenna is an appurtenance to an existing transmission monopole.
As required by subsection (c), the applicant will remove or repair our addition to the tower if it falls into a
state of disrepair or threatens the safety of the general public.
ATTACHMENT C
PAGE 2
How will this use promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community?
With respect to the ability of the applicant to provide service to the community, this use will allow the
applicant to improve the quality, capacity and coverage of wireless phone services in the county. This will
tend to improve the ability of citizens of the county to conduct business more readily and have use of the
applicant's services for recreational purposes. In addition the applicant's services can be used in
emergency situations and can be used when the traditional phone services are out of service.
Describe your request in detail and include all pertinent information such s the numbers of persons
involved in the use, operating hours and any unique features of the use:
The need to place the antenna on the Virginia. Power Pole is twofold: First, the facility will provide digital
cellular service for the applicants PCS system. This use will allow the applicant to improve the quality,
capacity and coverage of wireless phone services in this area of the county. Second, this use will allow the
applicant to attach its antenna to an existing utility structure, eliminating the need for the construction of a
new tower in this area of the county, thus preserving the county's natural resources and preventing the
duplication of towers on the county's landscape
The applicant proposes to add 30-inch panel antennas to the top of the existing Virginia Power
Transmission Pole. The additional appurtenance will raise the height of the structure to 120 feet, with the
antenna extending the height another 30 inches.

SP 98-52 Triton Communications/Vepco (State Farm)
Applicant's Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to construct a telecommunications pole within the existing VEPCO power
line tower, located south of the State Farm Regional Headquarters site. The additional pole will be for
Triton Communications. The existing power line is nonconforming and requires approval of a special use
permit in order for additional use to be made of the power line tower. The'applicant has provided
detailed information about the location and design of the proposed facility. The applicant's information
is included as Attachment C.
Petition:
The applicant petitions the Board of Supervisors to allow for the construction of a Personal Wireless
Service Facility within the existing Vepco high voltage power line. This requires a special use permit in
accord with the provisions of Section 23.2.2(3). The proposal is to locate antenna approximately
eighteen [ 18] feet above the height of the existing Vepco lattice tower, by constructing a monopole tower
in the middle. The tower site is located at the southern side of the State Farm Regional Headquarters
building at Pantops, within the Rivanna Magisterial District (Attachment B). The property consists of
approximately 30 acres and is described as Tax Map 78, Parcel 20F, and is ZOned CO, Commercial
Office. This site is recommended for Office/Regional Service in Urban Neighborhood 3 (Attachment
A).
Character of the Area:
The 30-acre site is occupied by the State Farm building, with associated parking, and a high voltage
power line that crosses the southern side of the parcel. The power line runs roughly east/west. The high
voltage power line is supported by 11 O-foot tall lattice structures. The base level for the existing and
proposed poles is approximately 50 feet below grade of the State Farm Building footprint. The closest
dwelling, not located on the parcel under review, is located approximately 1,200 feet distant. The nearest
communications facility, owned by EURE Communications, is a radio tower located approximately
5,500 feet to the Northeast, on the Southwest Mountains. This tower is currently being used to the limit
of its capacity. The site is also approximately 800 feet north of the Rivanna River and is located within
the Monticello viewshed.
Plannin~ and Zoning History:
Numerous reviews have occurred to result in the current development of the property. None of which
have had any applicable impact on the existing power line. The establishment of the power line predates
the adoption of the 1980 Zoning Ordinance.
Comprehensive Plan:
Staff notes that in order to construct the proposed facility no clearing for access and provision of
electrical service will be required. Therefore, the only impacts reviewed for compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance is the location of the antenna above the existing power
line tower and the location of the ground based equipment.
This site is recommended for Office/Regional Service in Urban Neighborhood 3 as identified in the
Comprehensive Plan. Currently the Comprehensive Plan contains limited review criteria for the siting of
telecommunication towers.
The Open Space Plan does not directly identify any resources associated with the tower site. This tower
is intended, primarily, to provide service to the Interstate 64 corridor and the developing area along
South Pantops Drive. Interstate 64 is designated as an Entrance Corridor. This site is not located within
that Entrance Corridor Overlay District. While the tower will be slightly visible from the Entrance
Corridor it will not require ARB approval prior to construction. Without additional information staff is
unable to determine if the impacts created by an alternative site would have a greater or lesser impact on
the Corridor.
The Open Space Plan does states that the short term strategy is to preserve or establish trees as
development occurs in "Wooded areas visible from Monticello, especially in Neighborhoods Three and
four, which protect Monticello's setting and viewshed". The tower site is located immediately adjacent
to an "Important Wooded Area" as designated in the Open Space Plan. The establishment of the new
telecommunications site, with associated access, does not necessitate removal of any trees from this
wooded area. Although the proposed tower site is located within the Monticello viewshed, staffhas
determined that the visual impact is minimal, as further discussed in this report. Staff has imposed
conditions to minimize the impact to the Monticello viewshed, which are also discussed further in this
report.
Staff opinion is that the use of the existing power line tower for antenna location will not have any
significant additional impact on the Entrance Corridor and the Monticello viewshed, therefore, is not
contrary to the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance and recommends approval with conditions.
STAFF COMMENT:
Staff will address the issues of this request in three sections:
2.
3.
4.
Staff comments regarding the "Tower Within a Tower" concept;
Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance;
Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(II) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996; and,
Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Staff comments regarding the "Tower within a Tower" Concept.
Staff review is based on the applicant's proposal to locate a tower within a tower. Staff offers the
2
following diagram to aid in the review of the "Tower Within a Tower" Concept.
/"T"~ EL~VA TI ON
The Use of existing structures has generally been endorsed as a means to facilitate the provision of
wireless service with minimal impact to the County. Attachment on existing structures has occurred "by-
right" on some towers, buildings and water tanks. These attachments to existing conforming structures
have not, in the opinion of staff, resulted in negative impacts. The proposed attachment to power line
towers, and the establishment of new towers within the power line towers, makes use of existing utility
corridors. While staff views existing power line corridors as having negative visual impacts in many
instances, the placement of a tower within these power line poles does not result in significant additional
negative impact as utilization of the area within existing tall towers maximiZes the potential service area.
The equipment installed by the personal wireless service provider appears similar/compatible with the
nature of the existing power line and power line tower. With a large service area being provided by use
of existing power line towers, the total number of sites required by a personal wireless service provider
can be reduced and, therefore, potentially reduce the overall impact on the County.
Staff will address each provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special use permits
permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in this ordinance may be issued
upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that such use will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property,
Approval of this special use permit will permit the construction ofa monopole tower totaling 128 feet in
height, to be constructed within the existing 110 foot high power line tower. The applicant is requesting
the additional 18 feet in height to breach the tall tree canopy adjacent to this site. The applicant's RF
Engineer will provide the increased tower height justification at the public meeting. Staff opinion is that
the additional pole, with nine (9) associated panel antennas, will result in a limited change in the
appearance of the tower, because the total tower height will only be increased by approximately 18 feet
and the panel antennas will tend to appear as part of the existing tower features (insulators, connectors
and wires). Since the existing lattice power pole is rust in appearance, staff has included a condition to
ensure that the new monopole is painted a matching rust color (Condition 1). The matching rust color
will aid in camouflaging the appearance, thus providing the illusion of one single tower structure instead
of two.
No new entrance onto South Pantops Drive will be required and no additional clearing will be necessary.
The supporting utilities structure [3 'W x 5'L x 7'HI, will be placed internally within the existing lattice
power pole. Both the supporting utilities and access road will be screened from Monticello by the
adjacent wooded area and screened from the State Farm site by the fifty [50] drop in grade. Therefore,
staff opinion is that approval would not cause a substantial detriment to adjacent property. Additional
information may be provided by the public during the public hearings on the issue of potential impacts.
that the character of the district will not be changed thereby,
Based on the limited change in the visibility of this tower and the utility corridor staff opinion is that this
request complies with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance,
Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as stated in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6
with particular reference to Sections 1.4, 1.4.4, and 1.5. All of these provisions address, in one form or
another, the provision of public services. The use of mobile telephones clearly provides a public service
as evidenced by the expanded and rapid increase in use. (Triton Communications represents the fourth
personal wireless service provider of phone service in the County.) Based on the provision of a public
service, staff opinion is that this request is in harmony with the purpose and intent of these sections of
the ordinance. Section 1.4.3 states as an intent of the Ordinance, "To facilitate the creation ora
convenient, attractive and harmonious community". The provision of this facility does increase the
availability and convenience for users of wireless phone technology.
Staff in prior reviews for telecommunication facilities has noted that the visibility of the site may be
inconsistent with the intent of providing an attractive community. As approval of th is permit will result
in limited change in the visibility from surrounding areas staff opinion is that this request does comply
with this provision of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Ordinance.
with the uses permitted by right in the district,
The proposal will not restrict the current uses, other by right uses available on this site, or by right uses
on any other property.
with additional regulations provided in Section 5. 0 of this ordinance,
Section 5.1.12 of the ordinance contains regulations governing tower facilities and no conditions are
necessary to ensure compliance with this provision of the ordinance, as this is an existing facility.
and with the public health, safety and general welfare.
The provision of increased communication facilities may be considered consistent with the public health,
safety and general welfare by providing increased communication services in the event of emergencies
and increasing overall general communication services. The 1996 Telecommunications Act addresses
issues of environmental effects with the following language: No state or local government or
instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless
service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that
such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions. In order to operate
this facility the applicant is required to meet the FCC guidelines for radio frequency emissions. This
requirement will adequately protect the public health and safety.
Section 704(a)(7)(b)(I)(II) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
The regulation of the placement, construction and modification of personal wireless facilities by
any state or local government or instrumentality thereof shall not prohibit or have the effect of
prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services.
Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the provision of personal wireless
service. Staff does not believe that the special use permit process nor the denial of this application has
the effect of prohibiting the provision or personal wireless services. The applicant has not demonstrated
that there are no other locations within the proposed area of service currently available for new facility
construction. For this reason, staff does not believe that denial of this application would have the effect
of prohibiting the provision of services.
Waiver of a site plan in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Commission may waive the drawing of a site plan if requiring a site plan would not forward the
purpose of the ordinance or otherwise serve the public interest. Generally the site review committee has
endorsed the use of site plan waivers for the establishment of telecommunication facilities. This general
endorsement is based on the relatively small area impacted by the proposed use and the ability to obtain
the required information through an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the building permits. In this
case the construction of the facility will require activity only for the construction of the ground
equipment, provision of a parking area (additional gravel) and adequate drainage. Based on the minimal
activity necessary for the installation staff is unable to identify any purpose, which would be served by
requiring the submission of a site plan. Staff recommends approval of a full site plan waiver subject to
the conditions listed under the recommended action.
SUMMARY: ~
Staff has identified the following factors which are favorable to this request:
The tower will provide increased wireless capacity, which may be considered consistent with the
provisions of Sections 1.4, 1.4.4 and 1.5 of the Zoning Ordinance;
Additional use of the power line tower will not restrict permitted uses on adjacent properties;
This request generally complies with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance;
The additional monopole, with associated antenna, will result in little change in the power line
tower's visibility or the appearance of the utility corridor; and,
Approval of this request allows for collocation on a structure and alleviates the need for the
construction of new facilities elsewhere.
Staff has not identified factors which are unfavorable to this request.
The following factor is relevant to this consideration:
1. There is an existing reasonable use of the property.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff opinion is that the site will accommodate the proposed telecommunication facilities without
creating adverse impacts. Therefore, staff is able to recommend approval of this request. Should the
Board choose to approve this request, staff has provided conditions of approval.
(In the event that the Board chooses to deny this application staff offers the following comment:
In order to comply with the provisions of the Telecommunication Act, staff request consensus direction
from the Board regarding the basis for denial of the application and instruction to staff to return to the
Board with a'written decision for the Board's consideration and action.)
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APROVAL:
o
The monopole shall be painted rust in color to reSemble the existing lattice power pole;
The tower shall be limited to the total of nine (9) Panel antenna at a maximum height of 128 feet
above ground level;
ConstruCtion of the telecommunications tower within the existing power line tower shall be in
general accord with the plan titled "CV-1-314A Vepco- Lattice Tower - FWT Power Mount"
attached to this report and initialed ELM 10/28/98;
The permittee shall submit a report to the zoning administrator once per year, by not later than July
1 of that year. The report shall identify each user of the tower and shall identify each user that is a
wireless telecommunications service provider; and,
The antenna on the tower shall be disassembled and removed from the site within ninety (90) days
of the date its use for wireless telecommunications purposes is discontinued.
Should the Planning Commission support a waiver of the requirements of a site plan the Planning
Commission only must take the following action in order to authorize a site plan waiver.
A waiver of the drawing ora site plan has been granted in accord with the provisions of Section 32.2.2.
subject to the following conditions:
Approval of an erosion and sediment control plan prior to the issuance of a building permit if the
area of disturbance exceeds 10,000 square feet; and,
Provision of one parking space.

What is the Comprehensive Plan designation for this property?
Recommended for office/regional use.
IATTACHMENTC I
How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
The proposed use will have no adverse effect on the adjacent property. Because the height of the antenna
measures only 60 inches, the height of the tower will be only raised a relatively small amount (the existing
Virginia Power transmission tower will be raised from 110 feet to 125 feet, with the tip of the antenna
extending another 30 inches). This activity will not create any additional negative visual impact than that
of the existing transmission tower.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district surrounding the property?
Because the property is already improved with the 110-foot transmission tower, the character of the district
surrounding the property will not be adversely effected by the addition of the 60-inch antennas to the
tower.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance?
The property is zoned CO. The appurtenance of the antenna allows the applicant to meet the demands of
the residents of Albemarle County for additional coverage, capacity and quality of service for wireless
phone use. By building within the existing Virginia Power structure, the applicant will be able to
accommodate this demand without disrupting raw land or the county's cherished natural resources.
How does right in the district permit the use in harmony with the uses?
The use is not in conflict of other uses permitted by right in the district. The small equipment cabinet will
be unmanned. No vehicle traffic' or noise will be generated by this use. Because the use requires little
clearing of natural vegetation, it is conducive to the promotion of natural landscaping, prevention of
erosion and will not disrupt the value and utility of the adjacent properties in the district.
What additional regulatiohs provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance apply to this use?
Section 5. I. 12 outlines public utility structures and uses.
Subsection (a) requires that "the location will not impair the health and safety of workers and/or residents
in the community and will not impair or prove detrimental to neighboring properties or the development of
same." This site will have no ongoing workers. In addition, studies have found that such structures do not
effect the property values in the areas. In this case, there will be relatively no additional impact in the
perception of this property, because the antenna is an appurtenance to an existing transmission monopole.
As required by subsection (c), the applicant will remove or repair our addition to the tower if it falls into a
state of disrepair or threatens the safety of the general public.
How will this use promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community?
iATTACHPIENT C I
With respect to the ability of the applicant to provide service to the community, this use will allow the
applicant to improve the quality, capacity and coverage of wireless phone services in the county. This will
tend to ~mprove the ability of citizens of the county to conduct business more readily and have use of the
applicant's services for recreational purposes. In addition, the applicant's services can be used in
emergency situations and can be utilized when the traditional phone lines are out of service.
Describe your request in detail and include ali pertinent information such as the numbers of persons
involved in the use, operating hours and any unique features of the use:
The need to place the antenna on the Virginia Power Pole is twofold: First, the facility will provide digital
cellular service for the applicants PCS system. This use will allow the applicant to improve the quality,
capacity and coverage of wireless phone services in this area of the county. Second, this use will allow the
applicant to build within an existing utility structure, eliminating the need for the construction ora new
tower in this area of the county, thus preserving the county's natural resources and preventing the
duplication of towers on the county's landscape
The applicant proposes to add panel antenna to the top of the existing Virginia Power Transmission Tower.
The additional appurtenance will raise the height of the structure to 125 feet, with the antenna extending
another 30 inches. The antenna arrangement will be supported by an extension with the antenna panel at
fifteen feet above the top of the existing pole. Virginia Power will install all equipment, including
grounding and bracket.
