Item 5.1. Resolution Proclaiming October 27 as "Unfunded Mandates Day
in Albemarle County". To bring attention to the unfunded mandates problem in
local governments, the National League of Cities, the Virginia Municipal
League, the Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia School Boards
Association have joined forces to declare October 27, 1993, as National
Unfunded Mandates Day. On that day, local governments throughout the nation
will focus attendS.on on the problem of unfunded mandates. The resolution was
adopted as f0110W~ the above recorded vote:
RESOLUTION
UNFUNDED MANDATES
WHEREAS,
according to the Joint Legislative Audit and Review
Commission (JLARC), Virginia's local governments are
subject to 391 federal and state mandates; and
WHEREAS,
unfunded mandates on local governments have increased
significantly in recent years; and
WHEREAS,
federal and state mandates require cities, counties
and towns to perform duties without consideration of
local circumstances or capacity; and
WHEREAS,
in some cases mandates require local governments to
redirect their priorities, to meet federal and state
objectives rather than community objectives; and
WHEREAS,
excessive federal and state regulations on local
governments impose harsh pressures on local budgets,
often requiring increases in local taxes and fees,
and/or reduced local services for residents; and
WHEREAS,
federal and state mandates too often are inflexible,
one-size-fits-all requirements that impose unrealistic
time frames and specify procedures or facilities where
less costly alternatives might be just as effective;
and
WHEREAS,
existing mandates impose harsh pressures on local
budgets, often requiring increases in local taxes; and
WHEREAS,
the cumulative impact of these legislative and regula-
tory actions directly affect the citizens of our
cities, counties and towns; and
WHEREAS,
the Virginia Municipal League, the Virginia Associa-
tion of Counties and the Virginia School Boards Asso-
October 20, 1993 (Regular Night Meeting)
(Page 2)
ciation a~Orkin~~ith l~Calities, school boards and
organizations across the nation to begin a public
education campaign tO help citizens understand and
then reduce the burden and inflexibility of unfunded
mandates, beginning with a National Unfunded Mandates
Day on October 27, 1993;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Albemarle endorses
the efforts of the Virginia Municipal League, the
Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia
School Boards Association and their national counter-
parts, and supports working with the national groups
to fully inform our citizens about the impact of
federal and state mandates on our governments and the
pocketbooks of our citizens;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County of Albemarle plans to
redouble efforts to inform members of our Con-
gressional and General Assembly delegations about the
impact of federal and state mandates and plans to work
with the delegations to reduce the burden of unfunded
mandates on our citizens.
FINALLY BE IT RESOLVED that I, David P. Bowerman, Chairman, on
behalf of the Board of Supervisors, do hereby proclaim
October 27, 1993, to be "Unfunded Mandates Day in
Albemarle County," in observance of National Unfunded
Mandates Day.
Item 5.2. Resolution to accept Village Woods Lane in Village Woods
Subdivision into the State Secondary System. The Resolution was adopted as
follows by the above recorded vote:
RESOLUTION

attached Additions Form SR-5(A) dated October 20, 1993, fully
incorporated herein by reference, are shown on plats recorded in
the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County,
Virginia; and
WHEREAS, the Resident Engineer for the Virginia Department
of Transportation has advised the Board that the streets meet the
requirements established by the Subdivision Street Requirements of
the Virginia Department of Transportation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Albemarle Board of
County Supervisors requests the Virginia Department of Transpor-
tation to add the roads in Village Woods as described on the
attached Additions Form SR-5(A) dated October 20, 1993, to the
secondary system of state highways, pursuant to 4,633.1-229, Code
of Virginia, and the Department's Subdivision Street Requirements;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board guarantees a clear and
unrestricted right-of-way, as described, and any necessary ease-
ments for cuts, fills and drainage as described on the recorded
plats; and
FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this resolution be
forwarded to the Resident Engineer for the Virginia Department of
Transportation.
The road described on Additions Form SR-5(A) is:
1)
Village Woods Lane from edge of pavement at intersec-
tion with State Route 660 to end of cul-de-sac, re-
corded 3-22-88 in Deed Book 984, pages 420-423, with a
fifty foot right-of-way; total length 0.13 mile.

Board was notified that the position of Housing Coordinator, approved in the
FY 1993-94 budget, has been filled. The new coordinator, Ms. Lynne Carruth,
will begin work on November 18, 1993. She has had significant experience
working with housing programs at the state level as well as coordinating a
variety of community groups to develop and implement housing programs. The
hiring committee feels that Albemarle County has found an extremely qualified
individual for this position and that she will bring a high level of expertise
to Albemarle County. The appointment was accepted as information.

Item 5.5. Copy of planning Commission Minutes for October 5, 1993, was
accepted as information.
Item 5.6. Status Report on Visioning/Comprehensive Planning Process,
was accepted as information.
Mr. Tucker reminded the Board that at the October 6, 1993, meeting, Mr.
Bain requested a status report on the planning for the community vision forum
and related comprehensive plan review process. A subcommittee of the Planning
and Coordination Council (PACC) Technical Committee has submitted a proposal
for a City/County/University joint vision forum and subsequent comprehensive/
master plan review process. The proposal outlines specific actions and a
timeline. Two of these actions identify the role and composition of an
Advisory Committee, and the use of facilitators/consultants for the vision
forum process. This proposal will be considered by PACC at its meeting on
October 28.
The Board directed staff to look at bringing in some consultants or
firms to discuss different or new approaches to planning of which the staff
may not be aware. Staff is to include in the analysis what would be entailed,
the costs and when such a presentation could be made.
Item 5.7. Bond Program Report and Monthly Report for Arbor Crest
Apartments (Hydraulic Road Apartments), for September, 1993, was accepted as
information.
Item 5.8. Memorandum dated October 20, 1993, from Mr. Robert W. Tucker,
Jr., re: Electronic Mail Messaging (E-mail), was accepted as information.
Mr. Tucker reminded the Board that over the last 12 months, the County
has initiated an electronic mail system that has improved communication
capabilities immensely. All middle and upper level management staff in both
local government and the school division can now communicate electronically
which is more efficient than telephone communications or the conventional mail
system. This system is also available to any Board member who has a computer
and would like to send E-Mail messages through the system.
Agenda Item No. 6. Adopt Resolution approving the issuance of up to
$3,000,000 in revenue bonds by the Industrial Development Authority of the
County of Orange, Virginia, for the Benefit of Westminster Canterbury of the
Blue Ridge.
Mr. Tucker said Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge (WCBR) plans to
undertake a $3,000,000 expansion to its health care center through the
issuance of tax-exempt "bank-qualified" revenue bonds through the Orange
County IDA. Because Albemarle County is over the $10,000,000 "bank-qualified"
limit for the calendar year 1993, it was necessary that WCBR approach Orange
County to undertake the financing.
Even though the Orange County IDA will be the issuer of the bonds,
federal law requires that the Albemarle County IDA hold a public hearing on
the proposed bond issue, and that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County
approve the financing following the public hearing. It will also be necessary
for the Orange County IDA and Board of Supervisors to follow the same proce-
dure before the bonds are issued.
Mr. Bain asked, since WCBR is a private facility for health care, if it
requires this Board to approve the proposed health care bids. Mr. Tucker said
Orange County would have to approve those bids.
Mr. C. H. Hinnant, President, WCBR, said a Certificate of Public Need is
not required, but WCBR is planning to acquire one. WCBR is out of beds and
this is why it decided to move forward, rather than relocating residents to
other facilities. WCBR feels it is time to look at expanding its facility and
is planning to do this by adding 32 assisted-living beds. WCBR has requested
a Certificate of Public Need for three beds under a legislative exemption. If
the Certificate of Public Need were not granted by the Health Department,
those three beds would also be utilized as personal care beds.
Mr. Hinnant said this process began with planning early in the year and,
at that time, this Board was helping Martha Jefferson Hospital with a refi-
nancing. This made WCBR unable to approach the Board because Albemarle County
was over its $10.0 million limit. WCBR then approached Orange County, based
upon a private placement of a bond issue that will be just under $3.0 million.
Within the last 10 days, the interest rates on the bond market have been down
so much that it may be a business decision to consider refinancing within the
next month for the entire project which would be more beneficial to the
residents. If that were to occur, WCBR would find it necessary to withdraw
this Resolution and go with the lower amount.
Motion was offered by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mrs. Humphris, to adopt
the following resolution:
October 20, 1993 (Regular Night Meeting) 00018~
(Page 4) ~

Agenda Item No. 7. Public Hearing to receive comments on the local
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CPIAS), which defines the
region's housing needs, for use of HOME funds by the local consortium of
counties and the City of Charlottesville. The CHAS will identify the region's
affordable and supported housing needs and will outline a method for meeting
those needs. The CHAS will guide the use of Federal funds received by the
Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission from the HUD HOME Program which
provides grant funds to conduct housing rehabilitation, new construction,
assistance to first-time home buyers and assistance to renters. (Advertised
in the Daily Progress on October 4 and October 11, 1993.)
October 20, 1993 (Regula~ Night Meeting)
(Page 5)
Mr. David Benish, Ch~?6~6m~~D~Velopment, said the Thomas
Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) and its member localities
established a regional housing consortium (required to develop a Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy [CHAS] to address local and regional affordable
housing needs) to increase affordable housing opportunities in the region.
Regional consortiums are entitled to receive an annual allocation of HOME
monies from HUD to support housing initiatives within the consortium area.
Last year the TJPDC consortium was awarded $570,000 and each locality in the
consortium receives an equal share of the allocation.
Mr. Benish said a locality within the consortium may hold a public
hearing to receive public input/comments concerning housing issues or specific
comments regarding CHAS. That is the purpose of this public hearing.
Mr. Benish said the priorities for Albemarle County in the CHAS's Five
Year Strategy are: (a) rehabilitate substandard owner-occupied homes; (b)
increase opportunities for first-time home buyers; (c) rehabilitate substan-
dard renter-occupied homes and multi-family units; (d) increase mixed-use,
high density development in designated growth areas; (e) assist special needs
groups (elderly, disabled, homeless and single-parent families).
Mr. Benish said priorities of the region-wide consortium are: (a)
foster cooperation within the region through the use of affordable housing
initiatives; (b) educate the public on the need for affordable housing and
programs available to assist low- and moderate-income residents; (c) establish
a regional mechanism for disseminating information on affordable housing
initiatives and for evaluating current efforts and policies; (d) coordinate
new financial assistance for low-income renters; (e) establish a regional loan
fund for use by the region's housing non-profits.
Mr. Benish said the existing priorities for the County generally are
consistent with the recommendations of the Housing Advisory Committee's report
and are sufficiently broad in scope to accommodate a variety of project types.
Mr. Tucker said this public hearing tonight is to provide an opportunity
for the Board to hear and consider public comments related to housing and the
regional CHAS. Staff has no recommendations for modifications to the CHAS.
Ms. Rellen Perry said she represents the housing needs of poor children
in Albemarle County and suggested that a higher priority be given to housing
needs of low-income families with children.
Mr. Bowerman asked if this is something that regulations allow and can
there be an assistance program structured in the fashion that Ms. Perry has
outlined. Mr. Benish said the use of the funds can be determined locally, but
he is not sure as to the amounts of money that must be used to address each
need. He thinks the Board could set certain criteria. If it is the Board's
desire, it could emphasize that the monies be used for projects that serve
low-income families with children.
Mr. St. John said whatever the Board did would have to be for owner-
occupied dwellings. The Board can set priorities within categories, but
cannot change from owner-occupied to possible non-owner occupied.
Mr. Doug Frame informed the Board that Albemarle Housing Improvement
Program (A/~IP) is not being allowed access to HOME funds as it has in the
past. In addition, HUD has ruled that A~IP will no longer be allowed to
assist families with job planning and act as the general contractor for the
client-family. HUD stated this was a conflict of interest. Congressman L. F.
Payne is working with AHIP to try and resolve this situation. Mr. Frame asked
the Board to contact Congressman Payne and lend its support of AHIP.
Mr. Charlie Wessner said Albemarle County has a volunteer housing
improvement program. At last year's budget meeting he opposed the hiring of a
housing coordinator and at this year's preliminary budget meeting he suggested
that Albemarle County get out of the housing business and stay out of that
business.
There being no further comments from the public, the public hearing was
closed at 7:49 p.m.
There was a consensus of the Board to direct staff to contact Congress-
man Thomas Bliley's office, in addition to Congressman L. F. Payne's office,
in support of AHIP. Mr. Tucker is to inform the Board if any further action,
such as a resolution by the Board, is necessary. The Board also directed
staff to see if what Ms. Perry suggested (a higher priority be given to the
housing needs of low-income families with children) can be done.
Agenda Item No. 8. CPA-92-05. Towers Land Trust. Public Hearing on a
request to amend the Comprehensive Plan to expand the Growth Area Boundary of
the Hollymead Community to include Regional Service, Office Service and Low
and Medium Density Residential uses. Area under consideration for these
designations is E of Rt 29N, S of North Fork Rivanna River, W of Rt 785 and N
of Proffit Rd (Rt 649). (Advertised in the Daily Progress on October 4 and
October 11, 1993.)
October 20, 1993 (Regular Night Meeting) 000~85
(Page 6)
Mr. Benish summarizedthestaff;s~0rt' which is quite extensive, and
is filed and made a part of the permanent records of the Board of Supervisors.
He said the Planning Commission, at its meeting on October 5, 1993, reviewed
the comprehensive study of Growth Area expansion. Based on their initial
discussion of the findings of that report, the Commission continues to
recommend approval of the Towers Land Trust Comprehensive Plan amendment
request. The Commission previously recommended approval of this request.
Mr. Benish said regarding an amendment request from the South Fork Land
Trust, the Commission recommends the Board defer action until the Meadow Creek
Parkway alignment area is decided. The Commission previously recommended
denial of this request due to the potential impact on some alternative
alignments of the Meadow Creek Parkway.
Mr. Benish said the Commission will continue its discussions of the
Growth Area expansion study at future work sessions including other requests
previously made in the Hollymead area (UREF, Forest Lakes South, and others).
No further recommendations have been made to date regarding general Growth
Area expansions.
At 7:55 p.m., the public hearing was opened.
Mr. Donald Wagner, representing Towers Land Trust, said this request has
been before the Board since 1989. He senses that the Board's major concern,
in view of the staff report, is that it is reluctant to act upon this request
without the broader context. Staff has recommended approval of the request
and with that in mind, he would be happy to answer questions. He pointed out
a map which shows a connection over Route 785. The staff report clearly
states that there should be no connection to Route 785 from the Towers
property. At the hearing in November, Towers Land Trust indicated that the
map had been drawn by a consultant and that this connection is not something
Towers Land Trust had requested.
Ms. Ginny Decker, President, League of Women Voters, said the League has
struggled on how to approach this request. The applicant has been before this
Board regarding this request for over four years. One year ago, the League
encouraged the Board to support staff's recommendation to defer the request.
Instead of the piecemeal approach that might impact the growth, there were two
things that the League was concerned with: 1) the completion of the fiscal
impact model, and 2) a resolution of the Meadow Creek Parkway alignment issue.
These two things were the last studies of issues the County had deemed
necessary before considering enlarging the growth areas. At that time, the
deadline was set for September 30, 1993. Today, there is an evaluation of
some possible growth areas and the League congratulates staff on its effort to
do that, but there is a fiscal impact on them. Last night's action by the
Planning Commission on the Meadow Creek Parkway leaves that question and its
location in "limbo." According to a 1992 staff report, the Towers project
proposes a significant scale of development, both residential and commercial
of approximately 3100 dwellings. Traffic estimates are already between 36,000
and 40,000 trips per day, 23,000 of which would be regional and office service
activity. It seems to the League that this is the kind of proposal that
should require some sort of tool by which this Board can judge its fiscal
merits. The League wonders by what standards other requests for expansion of
the growth area along the Route 29 corridor will be judged. She asked if the
fiscal impact analysis has become unimportant. All of this gives the League
the opportunity to share concerns and thoughts about the Route 29 overlay.
Ms. Decker said according to staff reports over the last three to four
years, the primary constraint for the development of the Hollymead/Piney
Mountain growth area has been the availability of water and sewer services and
the adequacy of existing roads. The provision for water and sewer facilities
is an absolute necessity for greater density in the growth area. The utili-
ties presently serving the area are inadequate to serve future growth.
Upgrading and expanding the utilities will be necessary. Both the Rivanna
Water and Sewer Authority and the Albemarle County Service Authority have
long-term capital improvement plans for both water and sewer for the area and
estimates of when those projects will be necessary. Some of those dates are
close. A key to long-term development of water service to the growth area
lies in the question of what to do with Chris Greene Lake. The staff report
has it listed as part of the recreational program for the area. The decision
of whether Chris Greene Lake is to continue as a recreational facility or
become a future raw water source for the North Fork Rivanna Water Treatment
Plant cannot be put off forever. The Albemarle County Service Authority has
said that the additional water will be necessary to meet future demands of
properties within the present growth area. In a letter dated October 8, 1992,
Mr. Brent said that the question of whether Chris Greene Lake will remain a
recreational facility or become a drinking water supply "has not been answered
and is a key component in any study of the true cost of providing additional
water." If this is true, the League believes it is time to begin a discussion
of the future use of Chris Greene Lake and urges the Board to do so.
Ms. Decker said in addition to not having any idea of the fiscal impact
such a large new expansion will have, the League has two questions concerning
staff's recommendations. Should the Board approve the Towers Land Trust
request for access to Route 29 North in consideration of the greenway along
the North Fork of the Rivanna? In its November 11, 1992, staff report, staff
made two other recommendations: 1) delete neighborhood service, 13 acres of
which are "not seen as necessary to serve this area given the proximity of the
October 20, 1993 (Regular Night Meeting) 000186
(Page 7)
proposed regional service area and the existing commercial zoning along U.S.
29 in the Piney Mountain Village." The League wonders if it was part of the
staff report then since it is not part of the present staff report; and, 2)
Specific location of low, medium and high density residential should be
identified within the residential area. Considering that there is a need for
land designated high density, the League urges the Board to consider high
density development somewhere in the growth area of Albemarle County and
recognizes the possible impacts on schools and roads, but high density does
not always translate into affordability. Given the large amount of land under
consideration, the League is bothered that the County's land use needs could
be met along the Route 29 corridor, thus spreading north the problems closer
to the urban area. The League would like to know how more fill-in can be
encouraged in the existing growth areas. It is known that growth areas are
needed in order to keep development out of rural areas, but the county
continues to be concerned by the issues and questions as stated. Those issues
and questions are what make it difficult for the League to support this
request.
Mr. John Snyder, resident of Route 785, said Mr. Wagner stated that
Towers Land Trust would be happy not to have an exit on Route 785. He is
wondering if any other organization could request an exit on Route 785. He
thinks if the Towers request were granted and it put an exit on Route 785 it
would cause major problems, especially for the residents. There would be
astronomical traffic and danger to children and adults. He does not have a
problem with the development itself.
Mr. Wagner addressed comments made by the representative from the League
of Women Voters. He said last year Towers Land Trust furnished to staff a
breakdown and layout of the high, medium and low density residential areas in
the proposed area. As to the water and sewer situation, water mains are in
Route 29 and you can see them in ACSA's financial reports and capital improve-
ments program over several years. Developers have paid for 60 percent of the
water mains. In this situation, the developers would be paying 100 percent of
the main. It is the responsibility of the developers to hook to the mains at
Route 29 and bring them onto the property at their expense. These mains would
then be dedicated to ACSA once built and tested. The developer would pay
approximately $5000 per residential unit for fees to hook to those mains.
Mr. Wagner said Chris Greene Lake was built many years ago to provide
ammunition in the annexation fight. In the meantime, Chris Greene Lake has
become a recreational facility, but presently there is more than enough water
in the Rivanna Reservoir to serve the proposed area. Buck Mountain is in the
planning stages because more water will be needed in this area in the future.
Regarding the sewer situation, the sewer plant at Camelot has available
capacity, it is owned by the ACSA and will be available on a first-come,
first-served basis. It is true that this plant is not large enough to cover
all of the area currently in the growth area. Unless the growth area is
reduced, ACSA is, at some point, going to have to provide additional service
in those areas. While the ACSA does not have all of the resources there, he
is confident that it will supply sewer to this area and if the growth area
goes somewhere else, it will supply sewer service there. He does not see this
as a major issue.
Mr. Wagner said in response to a concern by the League of Women Voters,
this development will fill-in the remainder of the Hollymead Growth Area.
Towers Land Trust is proposing to provide additional residences there and, at
some point in the future, additional commercial development will create a
community there and it will be self-contained instead of increasing traffic on
Route 29.
There being no further comments from the public, the public hearing was
closed.
Mr. Martin asked why the high density status was moved and if it was
done by staff or the applicant. Mr. Benish said Mr. Wagner submitted a plan
and discussed the areas that he was interested in proposing for higher
densities. When staff reviewed those areas, it noted that the topography of
those areas may be limiting to high density development. Initially, staff
felt more comfortable with recommending a low density but the request came
forward with high density. Mr. Cilimberg said it is better to use the growth
density designation that can be achieved.
Mr. Wagner said one of the main considerations was for the low density
to be toward Route 785. Towers Land Trust felt the higher density would be
closer to Route 29 and the commercial areas. He has no problem with the
variation staff is suggesting.
Mr. Benish said the original request was for medium and low density.
Staff met with Mr. Wagner and discussed concerns to make sure there were high
density areas because the need to replace high density designations had been
identified. The final evaluation was to stay with a medium density designa-
tion.
Mr. Bain asked about the capacity for wastewater disposal. This is a
growth area expansion of Hollymead and in terms of what is being projected,
how much of what is already planned can be served. Mr. Benish Said one of the
initial issues was that there were some contractual limitations to the
capacity in Camelot. This was resolved by the ACSA working on an arrangement
..... 000 187
October 20, 1993 (Regular Night Meeting)
(Page 8)
with those commitments so the remaining capacity is available. It is diffi-
cult to project how big of an area can be served because it is dependent on
how the areas are developed. The capaCity at the Camelot treatment plant
would not be sufficient to serve the existing growth areas north of Airport
Road based on the industrial land use designation plus the new industrial
designation in the Piney Mountain area. Mr. Cilimberg said one thing that was
discussed at length was the development of an overall utilities plan that
could cover the entire area for growth based upon capacity or ability of the
ACSA and the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority to serve existing growth areas
and expansion of those growth areas. The two authorities can indicate that
they can do many things dependent on the designation, but they cannot do
anything until it has been designated and planned for and there are customers
available. The authorities need to know what the County is planning to do
from a growth standpoint. Staff wanted to be sure the ACSA had the means to
provide the utility services to the growth areas if those expansions took
place and it has indicated that they do.
Mrs. Humphris asked if the letter from V DoT dated October 13, 1992, was
still the guiding VDoT document to this request. Mr. Benish said those were
the most recent comments regarding this request. Mrs. Humphris said she
wanted to make sure the Board was aware of this letter because there are
significant components in it. The letter talks about the effect, and states
that several drastic improvements Would be necessary. The letter also states
that additional widening of Route 29 north would have to be done beyond
current plans. Restriction of access to Route 29 north to grade-separated
interchanges for Seminole Trail south of Proffit Road might be necessary.
There would also have to be a direct connection from this region to the Meadow
Creek Parkway that would not utilize Route 29. There would have to be general
improvements to Proffit Road (Route 649) from Route 29 to Route 20. There
would have to be an extension of the existing six-lane improvement plan for
Route 29 to the North Fork of the Rivanna River. The letter also talks about
other problems that would arise and access would have to be limited and
controlled, preferably utilized in a single interchange, rather than several
signalized intersections. This proposal could accelerate the need for the
three interchanges planned for Seminole Trail, Route 29 at Rio, Greenbrier and
Hydraulic Roads, as well as construction of the Route 29 Alternative 10
Bypass. This is a major impact and there is no way to hurry or implement any
of those projects mentioned.
Mr. Benish said on the comments regarding Proffit Road, when this letter
was submitted, there was an indication that there would be a connection to
Route 785. He has not received clarification as to whether a connection would
still be required.
Mr. Bain said this petition was deferred to look at the growth area
because the request was to include the property in the growth area and it was
a specific request in terms of the urban area. What staff has done with the
urban neighborhood is simply to say that this is where it is to be limited.
There does not appear to be much that will be done in the way of expansion of
the urban area while conducting the next overall review of the Comprehensive
Plan. Mr. Bain asked if this is a fair statement of staff's analysis. Mr.
Cilimberg said that is correct.
Mr. Bain said he hears what Mr. Wagner has stated in terms of fill-in,
but in looking at the urban area, development will be stripping further north
on Route 29 if this request is approved.
Mr. Martin said this Board has tried to protect the rural areas and can
speculate that by having land available in the designated growth area it will
reduce the number of dwelling units in the rural areas. That is an identifi-
able goal. He considers this request as a fill-in because it is in an area
where the main concern of the people in that area is how the old rural area
will connect with the growth area. When this request first went to public
hearing, there were a lot of negative comments about the Plan.. Basically the
residents did not want growth as presented coming near them. Residents
basically said if any connection to Route 785 were deleted, they would be
supportive of the request. TOnight, there was only one resident who spoke and
stated that there should not be a connection to Route 785. He does not feel a
proposal like this one would be supported by the residents near the area
proposed to be developed. He understands Mr. Bain wanting to wait and see if
more can be learned about the area, but for the two years he has been a member
of the Board, it has been waiting to know more. At some point, a decision
must be made without having every future possibility reviewed. There also
needs to be a fair amount of planning by the applicant. He is pleased with
this request and the fact that there is no grave opposition. He will support
the request.
Mr. Bain said this is located on the major arterial for the County. He
knows this will increase traffic in the intersection near where this develop-
ment will be located and there is a lot more traffic to come. In response to
the deferrals of this request that does not carry any weight because the
applicant could have requested that the Board act on the request and it would
have been denied. The applicant was aware of the reasoning behind the Board's
waiting. This Board still has not received a fiscal impact report. This
development is not in the current Plan and something might come out of that
report which would make a difference from the public's perspective.

Mr. Bowerman said he does not think proposals like this create growth,
but absorb the growth that is already present. He is mindful of the fact that
the area south of Route 29 is developing and there are about 1200 units which
is large enough to absorb scattered growth. Forest Lakes is doing the same
thing and Glenmore is attempting to do the same thing on a higher scale.
Development in rural areas has been reduced dramatically because of this.
Such reduction is an overriding goal in the Plan. He thinks the housing
demand is being absorbed by the urban area growth. This Board is finding that
when this is done, i.e. Forest Lakes, the need arises for schools. He does
not think this is taking away a need for new schools in the County, but is
more concentrated and noticeable. If growth continues where services can be
provided, ultimately he feels it will be less expensive. He does not know
what a visioning forum will do or how it will tell this Board that it should
not build more roads or have development more than three and one-half miles
out of the center of the urban area. He knows that if Chris Greene Lake is
excluded and the rest of the watershed, development will totally be on the
north side of Route 29. Chris Greene Lake and the area around it represents
areas that are developable because of the terrain. He does not feel this
Board can continue to protect the rural area and not let the growth go
elsewhere. There are costs associated with doing things this way. There are
a lot of questions that still need to be answered, but in his mind, regarding
this request, the questions have been answered by the staff's report. This
development is consistent with what has been done, and it can be accommodated
in this area by having water and sewer availability. He feels this is the
best situation possible and it seems to be a reasonable request to him.
Mrs. Humphris said she is being cautious to make sure an opportunity is
not missed to do something innovative or creative but instead to find a better
way to do it in the future.
/~otion was offered by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Perkins, to approve
CPA-92-05 to amend the Land Use Plan in the Comprehensive Plan to include the
area north of Proffit Road, east of Route 29, South of the North Fork Rivanna
River and west of Route 785 in the growth area boundaries of the Community of
Hollymead. Recommendations for development of this area to b~ included in the
Plan are:
1. Limit access to Route 29 to three locations for the entire front-
age from Proffit Road to the North Fork Rivanna River. The Towers
Land Trust property should be limited to two access points to
Route 29. The northernmost access point should be aligned with
the future access to the University Real Estate Foundation's
(UREF' s) North Fork Research Park. Access should be prohibited
from the Towers Land Trust site to Route 785.
2. Consideration should be given to developing a Greenway along the
North Fork Rivanna River to protect environmental resources and
provide recreational opportunities.
(Note: Actual wording for the change in the Comprehensive Plan is to
come back to the Board and be placed on the consent agenda for approval. )
The Board also stated that it wanted to continue deferring CPA-92-02,
South Fork Land Trust, until the Meadow Creek Parkway issue is resolved.
Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Messrs. Martin, Perkins and Bowerman.
NAYS: Mr. Bain and Mrs.Humphris.
ABSENT: Mr. Marshall.
(Note: The Board recessed at 8:45 p.m., and reconvened at 9:00 p.m.)
Agenda Item No. 9. Public Hearing to receive comments on Community
Needs and Priorities for the Fiscal Year 1994-95 County Operating Budget.
(Advertised in the Daily Progress on October 4 and October 11, 1993.)
Mr. Tucker said staff hopes to have projections of preliminary revenue
figures to the Board next month. So far, those figures are not optimistic.
He believes the County may have to look at program changes and possibly even
service level changes for next year. He foresees revenues as being bleak
unless something changes.
Ms. Sonya Snook, resident and member of the Board of Directors of
Shelter for Help in Emergency (SHE), said she is present with three other
residents, two of whom are also members of SHE. She thanked the Board for its
past support of SHE and said SHE appreciates the level of support. A big
difference has been made to the lives of men, women and children of this
community. A woman is battered in this country every 15 seconds and it is so
common that the American Medical Association (AMA) has requested that doctors
who treat female patients routinely include questions about domestic violence
as part of their exam. The level of community support for SHE is amazingly
high. SHE is currently in the process of a fall fundraising campaign and even
people who do not have very much to share have sent what they can. The money
this Board allocates to SHE is well spent. For less than $35.00 per night,
SHE can house a woman and give her access to programs that educate her and
break the cycle of violence. Compared to other shelters nationally, SHE has a
October 20, 1993 (Regular Night Meeting) 000189
(Page 10)
high rate of women who are able to leave violent situations and move on to
lead productive lives.
Mr. Donald Hanson, Chairman, Albemarle Housing Coalition, said the
Coalition is mainly concerned about the program of 1600 units to be built over
10 years for rental housing (approximately 160 units per year). The Board has
heard, during the discussion of HOME funds that money was available, but was
not given to the County. Those funds could be used for this type of low-
income housing. 160 units per year is equivalent to approximately $7.0
million per year that would come from banks or grants to build this type of
housing. This means approximately 150 jobs for construction and tax revenue
from those houses to the County. The Coalition is concerned about the support
given by this Board and the County Executive's office to the persons who will
be endeavoring to get the private sector involved in this important program.
The Coalition hopes the Board will support this worthwhile project.
Ms. Lana Chassman, resident, organic farmer and member of the Board of
Directors of the Piedmont Council of the Arts, said she would like to thank
the Board for its ongoing support of the arts in the community through both
the support of the Arts Council and the extra funds directed toward the arts
education curriculum last year in County schools. She is present to let the
Board know that the Arts Council is embarking on a comprehensive plan for the
agency which will reshape the Arts Council in the community. This process
will involve hundreds of citizens from both the City of Charlottesville and
the County of Albemarle. In doing so, the Council realizes that Piedmont
Council of the Arts is not only in the arts business but also in the quality
of life and community development business. The Council believes that
Piedmont Council of the Arts can play a significant role in achieving the
broad community objectives associated with the County's Comprehensive Plan.
After reviewing the Plan, the Council noted that there are several areas that
parallel the components of the Council's study, including: economic develop-
ment, rural development, natural scenic and historic resources, social human
services planning and neighborhood development. The Council's comprehensive
plan will include the role the Arts Council can play in all of these areas.
The Council wants to be partners with the County in updating the County's
Comprehensive Plan and would be willing to work with it in any areas mentioned
above or in other areas where the County feels the Council could be of
service.
Ms. Tamera Oakly Perdue, Chairman of the Advisory Board for the Thomas
Jefferson Adult Health Care Center, said the Health Care Center provides a day
program to care for the elderly that are frail and other adults that are
disabled. The Health Care Center is an affiliate of Jefferson Area Board on
Aging (JABA) and is non-profit. The day care remains the best buy as far as a
per day price compared to nursing home care and in-home care for elderly and
disabled adults. She thanked the Board for its support last year and said the
money for scholarships and transportation was utilized to reach low-income
elderly in Albemarle County to help them utilize the services the Adult Health
Care Center provides. The Center has found that without transportation
funding, the clients cannot get to the Center to utilize the services provid-
ed. She asked the Board to maintain its support of the Thomas Jefferson Adult
Health Care Center.
Mr. John Workman said he knows budgets are tight and money is hard to
come by. A project has been started by parents at the Murray High School to
try and get technology in the schools in Albemarle County as an investment for
the future of the County's children. The Board members have been provided an
outline of the planned project. He asked that the Board look seriously at
this project and approve the capital funds to get the project started. The
long-term goal of this project is to start at Henley Middle School followed by
Western Albemarle High School. The skills acquired by the children in this
program will enable them to go into the business community and do the jobs
businesses require of them. The project has been tailored into the School
Board's needs to bring to this Board for final approval. The parents at
Murray have already begun this project and have put much energy into it.
These parents are in the process of getting parents from Henley and Western
Albemarle High School involved to try and get support from those schools as
well.
Mr. Bowerman asked Mr. Workman if these parents have also looked at
implementing this project at other schools (i.e. Walton, Jack Jouett or
Albemarle High School). Mr. Workman said the parents and principals met on
Tuesday and the plan was presented through the Superintendent's office. It is
hopeful that other schools will join the effort of establishing the program.
Ms. Carla Kirtley, parent of a student at Murray High School, said the
State Department of Education has requested that by January, 1995, every
school division in Virginia have a technology plan in place. This is one
reason why the parents at Murray have become active to get a technology
program implemented. There is a joint effort underway between the University
of Virginia's (UVa) School of Education and Albemarle County Schools to infuse
technology into the elementary curriculum. This joint effort began this year
and the community has tried to support it monetarily by using part of Murray's
budget. The PTO has also pledged money through fundraising efforts and a
grant has been provided through UVa to get a computer network installed and to
upgrade hardware. This year six teachers from Murray have been paired with
six UVa graduate education students. The students came into the classrooms to
work with the teachers and students to teach them what can be done with
October 20, 1993 (Regular Night Meeting) 000190
(Page 11)
computers and other types of technology in the classroom. There have also
been a lot of parent volunteers who came into the classroom. She is emphasiz-
ing the people aspect of this because without those people nothing would
happen. It has been stated that available is a lack of hardware, but there is
hardware there that the teachers do not know how to use. This technology
initiative enables the walls of classrooms to expand beyond Albemarle County
and to afford all students the opportunity to experience different technol-
ogies as effective and friendly learning tools. The County's technology plan,
along with a revised version of what the Board received, will be presented to
the School Board within the next few weeks. The parents are asking that this
Board take a serious look at the learning opportunities both plans offer the
students, teachers and administrators. They request that this Board encourage
the School Board to move forward with technology initiatives for students in
County schools.
Mr. Mack Tate, resident of Samuel Miller District, said tonight the
Board will hear many ideas from the citizens of Albemarle County. These
citizens will provide the Board input as to their beliefs concerning the
upcoming budget. He would like to take a different perspective by asking the
Board to imagine him speaking for some citizens who are unable to be present
because of their family and social economic situations. He asked the Board to
think of the segment of population in Albemarle County that has inadequate or
no housing. If these citizens have jobs, the pay is at the minimum wage
level, they have little, if any, medical insurance, lack the skills to support
themselves, and their families are receiving what little services the County
and state may offer. This group in Albemarle County is increasing in size
each year. These citizens are represented in the reports that were recently
published in the local papers where it stated that there was an increase in
the number of County residents receiving food stamps. As a county, we must
come to terms with this population of citizens, and as a Board, he sees it as
providing leadership in solving these problems. He believes the solutions to
these problems will only come about if this Board, County government and
schools are creative in finding ways to break the cycle of poverty that now
exists in Albemarle County. There must be adequate funding from Albemarle
County to help the solutions that a creative staff may develop. Additional
funding of the 1994-95 budget should be provided to social services, schools
and law enforcement. At the same time, this Board should consider directing
these different groups to study combining resources and ideas to develop a
uniformed front in dealing with these problems. If the citizens of Albemarle
County do not pay now for the services these people need, it will pay ten
times more in the years to come for prisons. People who do not have adequate
education, children having children, and all of the other social ills that are
affecting a part of the population will increase the local funding necessary
to meet the needs of these people.
Mr. Ray Wirth, member of the Coalition for Tax Equity, said as the Board
begins to work on the 1994-95 County budget, the Coalition invites the Board's
attention to several issues that are of concern early in the budget process.
First, the Coalition feels it is important that the public receive early and
accurate information about budget plans. The Coalition feels it is important
that the amount the Board proposes to spend and how much that amount is over
the last budget be presented. In Mr. Tucker's letter to the Board dated March
3, 1993, forwarding the proposed 1993-94 budget, he recommended a total
spending of $96.5 million which he compared to the previous year's budget
"spending of $92.5 million, the percentage increase is 4.3 percent which
compares favorably with inflation and gives some comfort to the public that
things are under control," but, in fact, Mr. Wirth said, the spending budget
adopted the previous year by the Board was not $92.5 million, but rather $90.5
million. Therefore, the current year's proposed spending was actually 6.7
percent higher than the past year and this does not compare favorably with
inflation. The lower percentage figure was repeatedly shown in County
documents and received wide coverage in the press. The Coalition does not
feel the public was well served by this release of information. The Coalition
urges the Board to compare apples to apples this year by comparing last year's
adopted budget to this year's proposed budget.
The proposed adjustment of tax rates last March of an one cent increase
in real property and a two cents decrease for personal property represented a
net increase in taxation of $356,000 on top of the tax increase due to the
increased assessments. Again, the Coalition feels the public was not served
by this "tinkering" of tax rates.
Mr. Wirth said last year's budget contained average base line increases
of 2.6 percent. The Coalition sees this as departments and agencies being
given increases over the previous year automatically. The Coalition feels the
Board should cap spending at current levels, permitting no increases unless
well-justified. The Coalition also feels that the County is enduring fiscal
stress. The County's debt is approaching $50.0 million and nearly $6.0
million per year is spent to service that debt. Two weeks ago, the Board
authorized Mr. Tucker to borrow $11.9 million from the Virginia Public School
Authority (VPSA) to fund items in the most recently approved Capital Improve-
ments Program (CIP), however, $453,000 of that borrowing is for items in the
Parks & Recreation section of the CIP, not the education section. The
Coalition feels this is significant for several reasons. First, it shows a
lack of precise and clear accounting. If the $453,000 is for playground
equipment to be paid for with school bonds, it should be accounted for as
school equipment. The Planning Commission concurs, saying "CIP projects
should be submitted by their prime user." Secondly, it suggests the possible
October 20, 1993 (RegularNight Meeting) 000191
(Page 12)
opportunity for consolidation of functions in County government. If parks and
education items can be mingled in the cIP, Why are there separate maintenance
functions in these areas. The Coalition feels these two divisions could be
combined, with a Single set of managers and enjOy economies of scale.
Finally, this borrowing includes several roof replacements, carpet replace-
ments, door replacements and other items of a maintenance and repair nature.
The Coalition agrees completely with the Planning Commission when a member
stated ,,maintenance and repair items should be funded by the respective
maintenance and repair budget of the user."
Mr. Wirth said the Coalition has written to the Board about the proposed
$18.0 million in elementary school construction and expansion. The Coalition
notes that the Planning Commission refused at its October 5, 1993, meeting to
consider school-related projects due to "the lack of comprehensive analysis
and calculation of need." The Coalition agrees completely with that state-
ment. The Coalition's goal is to invite the Board's attention to important
issues and to be responsible citizens.
Mr. Tom Loach, president of the Crozet Community Association, said the
Association has been working hard with the Planning Commission to insure that
the future of Crozet is bright. He feels that the Association is a step ahead
of the County in regard to the earlier discussions concerning innovative ideas
for the community. The first thing the Association did was a community-wide
survey. The results became clear that people liked the small town environment
of Crozet (87 percent said that is what they like the most about Crozet) and
they want to preserve the small town feeling. The next thing the Association
did, with these results in mind, was to go to the University of Virginia and
look at the new traditional village concept of planning for Crozet. A
professor from Crozet talked with the Community Association about this
concept. The Association feels it is an innovative idea and the Planning
Commission has been quite receptive. He hopes that the Board Will consider
the request for a village in Crozet.
Ms. Kathryn Cross, Charlottesville representative for WVPT, said WVPT
public television represents a number of quality programs and much more. WVPT
is not petitioning the Board of Supervisors for funding so that it can
continue to entertain the citizens of Albemarle County, but to highlight
WVPT's commitment to education and the Charlottesville/Albemarle community.
It is for these programs and projeCts that WVPT needs and feels it deserves
Albemarle County's financial support. Over the past two years, WVPT has
provided 22 child care centers in Charlottesville/Albemarle with training and
materials on how to incorporate the PBS program, "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood,"
in the preschool curriculum. This program provides an opportunity for child
care providers to have a quiet time during the busy day of the preschooler.
It can act as a catalyst for discussion with the children about their concerns
and issues (i.e. beginning kindergarten, having their tonsils removed, parents
divorcing, family member dying). Each child care center is provided with a
Mr. Roger's plan and play book which outlines discussion topics and activities
to accompany each program. The child care provider can choose to air the
program daily or video tape episodes and air them at an appropriate time.
This summer, WVPT's station mascot, Cubby the Bear, visited eight local child
care centers to participate in Mr. Roger's activities from the plan and play
book and encouraged the child care providers and the parents to take advantage
of this important resource. She thinks this project exemplifies WVPT's
commitment to community service. WVPT is a non-profit organization serving 16
counties. WVPT has had a satellite office in Charlottesville for three years.
She is in Charlottesville four days per week and receives calls from viewers
and members in the community regarding concerns, comments and request for
programs. WVPT receives funding from the Federal Government, State of
Virginia, corporate local underwriters, fundraising events and contributions
from individuals in the community. Over the past few years, WVPT's federal
and state funding have been severely cut and WVPT has been forced to turn to
individuals in the communities that it serves for increased support. She
urges the Board to seriously consider WVPT's funding request this year.
There being no further comments from the public, the public hearing was
closed.
