Parcel 26A, Frances C. Hubbard. Mr. Roudabush was unable to contant this owner.
Parcel 26, Moses Herring. Mr. Roudabush said he had talked with an agent repre-
senting Mr. Herring who felt that the A-1 designation would be the most useful
for the land because of percolation requirements for septic tanks.
Parcels 27A and 27B, James L. Perkins indicated he would not object to A-1.
Parcel 28A, Donald Cline could not be contacted.
Parcel 28, Walter F. Bishop did not object to A-1.
Parcel 16, Tax Map 95, Mr. & Mrs. James Winn do not object to A-1.
Parcel 16A, Tax Map 95, is owned by Mr. Osborn Huff, the applicant for this
petition.
Parcel 16B, Tax Map 95, Golden Tomlin. Mr. Roudabush said,he was unable to
contact Mr. Tomlin, but understands his property is on the market for sale.
Mr. Tomlin evidently does not live in this area.
Mr. Roudabush said it appears that the majority of landowners in the area do not object
to having their property rezoned to A-1. There are several parcels of land that would be
involved in this rezoning which have been created since this tax map was made and he did
not contact any of those owners. Mr. Roudabush then offered motion to adopt the following
resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County,
Virginia, does hereby state its intent to amend the Albemarle County
Zoning -Map by rezoning the following parcels from RS -1 Residential to
A-1 Agricultural:
Tax Map 94, Parcels 29B, 31, 30, 25A, 26A, 26B, 26, 27B, 27A, 28A & 28_
Tax Map 95, Parcels 16, 16A and 16B
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Albemarle County Planning Commission
is hereby directed to hold public hearings on this matter, with all
affected property owners being notified of these proceedings, and with a
recommendation being returned to the Board of Supervisors As soon as
possible.

The foregoing motion was seconded by Dr. Iachetta. Mrs. David asked if this action
will make any of the lots nonconforming. Mr. Roudabush said there are several lots which
have been taken out of Parcel 26; about one and one-half acres each, and these would
become nonconforming.
Mr. Fisher said the staff has advised the Board that much of this land would be
difficult to develop in one -acre lots because of percolation. Roll was called, and the
motion carried by the recorded vote which follows:
AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Agenda It,m No. 3. SP -86-76. Phil Sheridan. To expand a campground on 446.26 acres
zoned A-1 Agricultural to include recreational uses. Property on north side of Route 673
next to Mont Fair. County Tax Map 14, Parcels 7 &,8 and County Tax Map 26, parcels 33A &
33B. White Hall District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on January 6 and January 13,
1977•)
Mr. Tucker said this area is rural in nature; predominately in large parcels. The
Comprehensive Plan indicates conservation use for the area. Montfair "Campgrounds currently
exists on about 129 acres (Tax Map 26, Parcels 33A and 33B). The applicant proposes,to
expand into two additional tracts of 317 acres; Tax Map 14, Parcels 7 and 8. There are
currently 66 campsites, nine rental cottages, three bath houses, a recreation hall, and an
office/store. Both active and passive recreation are provided for in terms of bridle
paths, hiking trails, swimming and fishing lakes, a ball diamond, and tennis and basketball
courts. At this time, development of the proposed expansion would consist of ten rental
cottages and a six to eight acre lake. All facilities would be served by an existing well
and two storage tanks of a combined capacity of 32,000 gallons. The water supply is
reviewed periodically by the Health Department, Bureau of Tourist Establishment Sanitation.
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission, at its meeting on January 4, 1977, unanimously
recommended approved of this petition with the following conditions:
1. Site plan approval for proposed development to include County Engineer's
approval of the dam.
2. Septic tank and drainfields serving proposed rental cottages to be setback
a minimum of 200 feet from the proposed lake shoreline.
3. Future expansion of camping facilities or rental cottages will 'require
amendment of this special permit.
4. Board of Supervisors and County Engineer approval of central water supply.
5. Approval of appropriate state and local agencies.
Mr. Tucker said Mr. John H. Pratt, Dyke, Virginia, had written a letter objecting to
approval of this petition, but has since withdrawn that objection.
Mr. Sheridan was present. He said this facility began about 10 years ago when the
State and Federal governments were interested in getting farm people into the recreation
business. He was helped with the plan by the State. Department of Recreation and F.H.A.
There will be minimal grading required for this`expansion.

HE
Mr. Fisher asked if the cottages to be built will be for short-term "rental during the
summer or rented year-round�._F, Mr. Sheridan said he rents to vacationers during the summer
and students in the winter.
At this time, the public hearing was opened. With no one rising to speak, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Henley said this campground has been in operation for a number of years and he
has heard no complaints; in fact no one would know it is on this property . He then offered
motion to approve SP -86-76 with'the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission and
set out above. The motion was seconded by Dr. Iachetta and carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS; None.
Agenda Item No. 4. Application for a central well permit for Phil Sheridan wa-s
deleted because newly adopted ordinances and regulations do not require the issuance of a
special use permit for operation of a central well system.
Agenda Item No. 5. SP -93-76. Newell Welch. To provide for an accessory dwelling
accommodation in an existing antique shop on 4.06 acres zoned B=1 Business. Property on
U. S. Route 250 West about 1f2 mile east of Yancey Mills. County Tax Map 55B, Parcel 1,
White Hall District.
Mr. Tucker said this portion of Route 250 West is characterized by strip commercial
development. An antique shop exists on the subject property. To the north there is a
country store. To the east are single-family dwellings and a country store. To the south
are single-family dwellings. To the west is the Crozet Moose Lodge and two antique stores.
The applicant proposes to construct living quarters on the back of the -existing antique
shop which he will occupy. The staff feels that the request is compatible to the commercial
use of the property. The Planning Commission recommends approval of SP -93-76 with the
following conditions:
1. Approval of appropriate state and local agencies.
2. Subject to variance from setback from Scenic Highway Ordinance being
obtained from the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Mr. Welch was present in support of the petition. He said he wants to live at the
shop to provide security and to eliminate the expense of driving to and from the store.
Mr. Henley said Mr. Welch has substantially improved the appearance of the building.
He would not have voted for the Scenic Highway Ordinance if he thought variances could not
be granted for this kind of petition.
At this point, the public hearing was opened. With no one rising to speak, the public
hearing was closed.
Mrs. David said she knew Mr. Welch had started this tortuous process back'in May and
she then offered motion to approve SP -93-76 with the conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission. The motion was seconded by Dr. Iachetta and carried by the following recorded
vote:
AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Mr. Fisher asked if the Planning Commission is considering amendments to the setback
requirements of the Scenic Highway Ordinance. Mr. Tucker said when this matter was brought
to the Planning Commission, the Zoning Administrator was not present; therefore no evidence
was readily available that any variances had been applied for or granted. The Commission
was reluctant to recommend an amendment until they had some concrete evidence that the
amendment is warranted. Mr. Fisher said he understands the Zoning Administrator may
recommend a change in the ordinance so that an addition can be added to the back of a
building without having to go through this process.
Agenda Item No. 6. SP -94-76. Winston Wood. To locate a two-family dwelling on 2.0
acres zoned A-1 Agricultural. Property at intersection of Routes663 and 743 in Earlysville.
County Tax Map 31, Parcel 5, Rivanna District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on
January 6 and January 13, 1977.)
Mr. Tucker said the property to the west of this parcel is undeveloped. A country
store exists at the intersection of Routes 663 and 743. Other properties in the area are
developed in single-family homes. Earlysville is designated as a village cluster with a
Year 2000 population of 4,000 persons. In the past, the Planning Commission and the Board
of Supervisors policy toward two-family dwellings has been: 1) that they'be located in a
designated cluster, and 2) that the applicant occupy one unit. Mr. Tucker said the staff
recommended approval of the petition with the following conditions:
1. Four off-street parking space be provided to serve the two-family
dwelling; and
2. Approval of appropriate state and local agencies.
The Plannin_ Commission, on January 4, 1977, by unanimous vote, recommended denial
because during review of this petition, Mr. Wood said he would not be occupying one side
of the dwelling as he had originally stated. Also, although the ordinance states that a
two-family dwelling can be allowed by special permit on two acres, this application would
cause an increase in density in the A-1 zone. The Planning Commission did receive one
letter of objection from Mr. Dexter Goodwin who lives in North Carolina.
