Caramanis Rebecca C. Hryvniak Via Hand Delivery June ? , 2012 2Z Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 418 East Water Street P.O. Box 2737 Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 Phone (434) 296.2161 Facsimile (434) 220.2719 E-mail Dcaramanis0scottkroner.com RE: Comprehensive Plan Compliance Determination Request Morven Dear Amelia: I am writing to you on behalf of the University of Virginia Foundation (the "Foundation") in its role as owner of Morven. Following up on the several productive conversations we have had regarding the scope of allowable uses at Morven, based primarily on its connection to UVA and its primary use for public educational activities, including the customary accessory uses that go along therewith to help financially support the academic mission. It must be noted that while the Foundation is an entity separate and unique from -the University of Virginia ("UVA" or "the University"), it is inextricably intertwined with UVA and its sole and stated purpose is to support UVA and its mission. All activities of the Foundation, whether by direct action or indirect financial support, contribute to and are intended for the support of the University. Therefore, from a use perspective, the uses associated with Morven are equivalent to the uses associated with any University -owned property. This request involves several categories of potential use, which we will address in more specific detail below. Generally, those categories are as follows: (1) Uses directly involving the University which are academic in nature, (1a) Uses directly involving the University for other than academic purposes, e.g. fundraising, alumni relations, athletics, (2) Uses involving other public/governmental entities, (3) Uses involving non-public, non-profit or educational entities, and (4) Uses involving non-public, business entities. All above listed categories would involve uses that are customary accessory uses to the promotion and support of a public educational institution. Uses Directly Involving the University As you know, in January 2009, at the time of proposed expansion and construction associated with the "Meeting Barn" at Morven, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a Scott I Kroner PLC Attomeys at Law June 21, 2012 Page 2 Comprehensive Plan Amendment for that use. The County approved meetings and events hosted by the Foundation and/or the University of Virginia (the "University") at the "Meeting Barn" and "open to invitees of the University of Virginia," and thereafter approved a Transportation Management Plan which would apply to those functions. Per our discussions, it seems we are in agreement that meetings that involve the University directly are allowed as public uses anywhere on the Morven property and not limited to the Meeting Barn. Therefore, our first request is that you confirm that events directly involving the University, its faculty, staff, students, Board of Visitors and their invitees are permitted uses at Morven, whether or not they occur in the Meeting Barn. Many of the uses contemplated by this request fall under the primary use of the property and include (a) retreats, receptions and meetings for various colleges or departments at the University, (b) events and meetings by University -related entities such as the UVA Center for Politics, the UVA Alumni Association, the UVA Athletics Foundation and Madison House, (c) classes and seminars, and (d) agricultural and archeological uses related to UVA classes and studies. Some of the events are obviously academic in nature and others are serve a more fundraising or networking purpose. I assert that the academic or non- academic nature of events has no effect on the zoning determination, because the association with UVA and the customary nature of events for a public institution such as UVA maintains these uses as permitted public uses. Events such as those described above occur with frequency on UVA- owned property within the Grounds of UVA, and similarly should be permitted at Morven, as an extension of those Grounds, where the primary purpose remains public educational use. We would appreciate your determination confirming that such rises are permitted. Uses by Other Public Entities Morven has also had the opportunity to host other public/governmental entities which are not UVA-related. These organizations have desired to use Morven for receptions, meetings and retreats and they include caucuses of the United States Senate, the Department of Defense, the Critical Incident Analysis Group (CIAG), Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC), the College of William and Mary, local public elementary schools, and Public Broadcasting Television. We assert that the same basis for permitting UVA-related uses as public uses would extend to these uses which involve other public/governmental entities, and ask you to confirm that in your determination. Uses by Non-public, Non-profit Entities Beyond the opportunities mentioned above, several other charitable or non-profit institutions have desired to hold receptions or other events at Morven. Examples of these entities include the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), Kluge Compassionate Care, Phi Delta Theta, and Dogwood and Rivanna Garden Clubs. We assert that these uses are customary accessory uses for a property whose primary use is public use in support of a public educational institution. University owned properties are frequently used for meetings by other entities, many of whom are non-profit entities. Often those entities will pay a fee to the University for use of the facilities, and that fee generation is one way for the University to support the maintenance of the facilities being used. This is a primary concern for the Morven property which is vast, yet remains mostly undeveloped and contains historic structures, gardens and other areas which require costly maintenance and upkeep. In order to Scott ! Kroner PLC Attomeys at Law June 21, 2012 Page 3 support UVA and its mission, Morven must support its own activities, and does so, in part, by hosting outside organizations for a fee. Just as UVA can offer unique spaces such as auditoriums, stadiums and arenas for use by outside parties, Morven can offer unique space that is serene, beautiful, isolated and conducive to receptions and retreat -style gatherings to bring the members of organizations together. These types of events happen relatively infrequently within a calendar year. Certainly, there are not enough of these events to come close to making a dent in the primary use of Morven, given that those primary use -related events, as described above, are generally occurring on a daily or weekly basis. Accordingly, we suggest that these types of receptions, retreats and events held by outside organizations at Morven be deemed permitted customary accessory uses to the primary public use in support of the University, and we request your determination in that regard. Uses by Non-public, Business Entities On occasion, Morven also has the opportunity to host events similar to those described in the preceding section, but where the organization involved is a for -profit business. Generally, these types of events would involve businesses which are either tenants in the UVA research parks, corporate partners of UVA with respect to particular projects, or major donors to the University. As I am sure you are aware, public educational institutions do derive a large amount of support from private enterprise in order to support and maintain their mission. UVA is no different. Many of the same organizations that would be interested to have an .event at Morven also use University facilities such as ballrooms, auditoriums or outdoor spaces for meetings and other events, and the University desires to accommodate them in recognition of their financial support of the University. Morven is the ideal location for these types of entities to celebrate that connection with the University while enjoying a reception, retreat or other event for their business executives or staff. The University hosts many of these types of events to make best use of its facilities and generate income for their maintenance and upkeep. A list of the various University -owned facilities can be found on its website here: hq://www.virginia.edu/housinZ/coti:ferences/event facilities.php. You will note that a large number of the facilities on that website note rental rates for "Non-UVa." Clearly, those facilities are available for use by third parties, just as Morven should be. We request that you confirm use by third parties of Morven's facilities, on an occasional basis, as an accessory use to and in support of its primary, public use for public education, is permitted. Other considerations With respect to all events listed above, there exist certain other factors which must be considered and about which we seek your determination. Primarily, those factors involve (1) whether use of the facilities is paid or as a guest of UVA or the Foundation and (2) whether the events held involve overnight stays by any of the attendees. We submit that neither factor should impact the determination that such. uses are permitted as public uses or customary accessory uses Scott J Kroner PLc Attomeys at Law June 21, 2012 Page 4 to the primary public use. We base that assertion on the fact that receiving payment for use of the facilities in some cases is irrelevant to determining the public purpose and in others is quite critical to understanding how the use is an accessory use by financially supporting the primary academic mission. Once again, these types of uses are typically held by universities and on their campuses for the purpose of raising funds to support the maintenance and upkeep of those facilities by appropriately maximizing the use thereof during times when the facilities are not in use by the university itself. Additionally, the overnight stay component has no impact on whether the use is a public use or a customary accessory use to the primary public use, yet it can add substantial value to a particular retreat or to accommodating an important donor to the University on a short term basis. University -owned properties, including university housing, are used to allow third parties to stay in conjunction with functions being held at the University during breaks in the academic calendar, and Morven should be able to provide the same type of support through similar uses. Summary To summarize the requests for determination we have described above, we respectfully request your determinations as follows: 1. Events, receptions, retreats, seminars, classes and other uses in which the University or its affiliated entities are directly involved, whether academic in nature or otherwise, are permitted at Morven as public uses, and constitute the primary use of the property; 2. Events, receptions, retreats, seminars, classes and other uses at Morven by non - University entities which are public or governmental in nature are also permitted as public uses; 3. Events, receptions, retreats, seminars, and classes held by non-profit or other organizations or business entities at Morven are permitted as customary accessory uses provided that their frequency in occurrence is not significant enough to threaten the primary use of the property and provided that their purpose is to support the University in some way, financially or otherwise, through the Foundation. 4. Whether the events described in 1, 2 and 3 above involve payment of a fee for use of the facilities or not, and whether or not those events involve temporary, overnights stays by guests on the property has no impact on the determination of permitted use expressed in response the above paragraphs. It is important to note that the uses contemplated by 1, above, will constitute the majority of use on the property, and that the uses contemplated by 2 and 3, will collectively occur with less frequency than the primary uses, thereby preserving the primary use public educational use. In support of the requests above, I have enclosed certain documentation including a list of typical events at Morven demonstrating the nature of the primary use in support of UVA and documentary evidence of some examples of similar customary accessory uses which have occurred on university property. n Scott I Kroner PLc Attomeys at Law June 21, 2012 Page 5 We thank you for your continued interest and attention to these critical issues involving Morven and its ability to best support the University. I welcome any questions you may have, and am willing to provide any additional information or documentation that you deem necessary in order to the make the determinations we have requested.

Subject to change. e-Z*- James and Elizabeth Monroe took great pleasure in entertaining guests at Ash. Lawn - Highland. Nestled in the serene Blue Ridge Mountains, Monroe's "cabin castle" has witnessed numerous social occasions both humble and grand, including the wedding celebration ofMonroe's older daughter, Eliza. r&- "Can you not come up and stay a day or two with us?" wrote James Monroe to James Madison in 1799. For a day, an afternoon, or an evening, you can make Ash Lawn - Highland your home and extend to your guests the same invitation. The Jefferson and Madison families were frequent visitors over two hundred years ago, and in more recent years Presidents, Senators, and Justices of the Supreme Court have enjoyed Highland's hospitality. A&- To insure that Ash Lawn -Highland accommodates your affair to the best of our abilities; the following rental guidelines are provided. Please read them carefully and feel free to contact Ash Lawn -Highland for further information. I. RENTAL FACILITIES a. Facilities available for rent include the Hilltop Pavilion (with serving kitchen, bride's room and band room), the two story Barn (with use of the Conference Room, including kitchen and patio) and the various boxwood gardens. Facilities may be rented individually or jointly depending on the event and renter's needs. b. The Hilltop Pavilion, Barn with HVAC(two floors), Conference Room and grounds are available both during the day and during the evening. By previous arrangement, the Monroe House is available for one hour of visits by guests of renters in conjunction with the rental of Ash Lawn -Highland facilities. The Johns Garden and Service Yard may not be used during public visitation hours (before 6 PM April —October or before 5 PM November —March). The only exception is for actual wedding ceremonies. c. Occasionally, and at the discretion of the Executive Director, the facilities at Ash Lawn -Highland may be rented to more than one party on a single day. The Hilltop Pavilion is well separated from the Barn Pavilion and Conference Room. If the Director feels that two events can be accommodated, every effort will be made to coordinate plans in a way that is satisfactory for both parties. The first party to make a paid reservation will be considered the "primary renter," and will have its choice of space and equipment. Any subsequent renters must schedule their events and choose their locations in a way that will not disturb the primary renter. d. No representation is made, express or implied, as to the fitness or suitability of any of the rental facilities for the purpose(s) intended, notwithstanding anything that may be to the contrary. Ash Lawn -Highland assumes no responsibility for providing security services of any kind. e. Ash Lawn -Highland waives any and all liability for injuries to and for property damage of any renter, guests, agents, contracted service employees, and/or any other persons associated with the event for which the property has been rented. II. RENTAL FEES a. To rent any of the facilities at Ash Lawn -Highland for a private social occasion, the renter must join the Friends of Ash Lawn -Highland by donating a minimum of $500. This contribution is tax-deductible. Additionally, a portion of the rental fee may be designated either as a donation to the Highland Fund for restoration of the Monroe Estate. b. Rental fees vary depending on the date, the number of persons scheduled to use the property, the areas needed, the type of activity, and the time of year. All payments associated with the rental are due at the time the reservation is made and are not refundable. Should an event be canceled after payment of the rental fees, only the security deposit will be refunded; other fees will be converted to gifts and so acknowledged. c.

Only the bride or groom or members of their immediate families may make reservations. Wedding reservations are able to be booked one year in advance. For example, for an April 2013 wedding, one would enter the lottery by calling our office during the last 5 working days of March 2012. The drawing would be held on the first working day of April 2012. Lottery entries are drawn at random. Requesters are contacted as their names are drawn and may reserve any date and time available. The requester must be available via phone the morning of the lottery drawing. The lottery continues until every requester has been called. The exception to this is for the months of September, October, and November. This is due to the finalization of the home football schedule. To reserve for September, October, or November one may enter a lottery during the last 5 working days of January of the same year. The lottery drawing is held on the 2nd Monday of February. If the football schedule has not yet been released, you will be notified when you call to enter the lottery. After the lottery drawing is complete, reservations for remaining dates and times are accepted by calling directly. top Text -only version I Questions?
