RE: SP-2000-82 University of Virginia Real Estate Foundation; Tax Map 32, Parcel 6A
Dear Ms. Long:
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on April 25, 2001, unanimously approved the
above-noted request. Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions

Exhibit plan, prepared by Draper Aden Associates and dated March 2,2001 (revised March 16,
2001), (Attachment A) The following conditions (2 through 5) are deemed additional elements to
the Application Exhibit and must be included on an approved site plan
2 The applicant shall provide for pedestrian access in the following locations
a Pedestrian access shall be provided between the Fitness Center and the planned
Hike/Bike trail shown on the Open Space System Phasing Plan (Exhibit 61 of ZMA 95-
04) This pedestrian access shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for the Fitness Center;
b Pedestrian access shall be provided along the full extent of the unnamed driveway The
driveway is shown on the plan between the Qual Choice building and the Fitness Center
and connecting Lewis and Clark Drive to the Fitness Center This pedestrian access shall
be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Fitness Center

around the Fitness Center building. The pedestrian access shall provide access from
Lewis and Clark Drive to the building's entrance, which is planned to face the parking lot
on the lower level This pedestrian access shall be completed prior to the issuance of a

e Pedestrian access between the Fitness Center and Town Center shall be provided in a
manner that encourages pedestrian traffic in an efficient and inviting manner This
pedestrian access shall be provided either at the time of construction of the Fitness
Center or during the construction of the Town Center's parking areas. The Agent shall
approve that this pedestrian access between the Fitness Center and the Town Center
meets the intent of condition 2e.
3. The applicant shall provide stream bank stabilization along the remaining exposed, natural
stream. Furthermore, this stabilization shall occur in a naturalized manner and shall be
supplemented with additional plantings in sufficient enough quantity to provide protection for the
stream. The County's Water Resources Manager shall certify that the intent of this condition is
met.
4 All reconstructed slopes shall be at 3: 1 or 2.5: 1 slopes (with the use of 2.5: 1 slopes to be
restricted to areas where a 3: 1 slopes would either necessitate the excessive use of retaining
walls or would cause the fill slope toe to encroach into the "No Grading Zone"). These
reconstructed slopes shall be designed to allow for the revegetation of the fill slopes with a mix of
trees, shrubs and groundcover. If retaining walls are utilized as part of the fill slope design,
preference will be given to a terraced design with series of shorter walls instead of a single, large
wall. Special consideration will be given to both screening the Hike/Bike Trail from the negative
aesthetic impacts of the fill slope and/or its retaining walls and to protecting the stream from water
quality impacts through the use of the aforementioned revegetation. The County's Landscape
Planner and Water Resources Manager shall certify that the intent of this condition is met.
5 The design of the building and/or site shall accommodate the concerns of the Albemarle County
Service Authority relative to the proximal waterline and thrustblock. Furthermore, if the building's
redeSign is significant enough to cause the fill slope's toe to encroach closer than five (5) feet
from the "No Grading Zone", which is depicted on the Schematic Grading Plan, prepared by
Draper Aden and dated February 28, 2001 (revised March 16, 2001) (see Attachment D), this
encroachment shall cause the applicant to seek an amendment to this special use permit.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued shall not be
commenced within eighteen (18) months after the issuance of such permit, the same shall be deemed
abandoned and the authority granted thereunder shall thereupon terminate. For purposes of this section,
the term "commenced" shall be construed to include the commencement of construction of any structure
necessary to the use of such permit within two (2) years from the date of the issuance thereof which IS
thereafter completed within one (1) year
