Mr..Frank Kessler, present representing the applicant for Agenda Item Nos. 8 and 9 said the reason for deferral is because the applicant wants to be sure that what he is asking for will be guaranteed if the request is approved. The applicant wants to be sure that everything is worked out with the bank before bringing the request to the Board. He has no problem with deferring to the next most convenient date for the Board.

Rivanna District. ~Advertised in the Daily Progress on February 28 and March 7, 1989.) Mrs. Cooke said normally she would have to declare a conflict of interest with this item, but since she is chairing the ~meeting, she will just moderate the discussion and not comment or vote on the issue. Mr. Horne presented the following staff ~eport: "Petition: Forest Lakes Associates petitions the Board of Supervisors to issue a special permit in accordance with Section 13.2.2.7 of the Zoning Ordinance for the operation of a d~ay care facility on property zoned R-i, Residential. Property, descr}bed as Tax Map 32, parcel 36 (part of) is located on the east side of'~Rt. 29N within the Forest Lakes development. Rivanna Magisterial ~istrict. Character of the Area: The subject prop/~erty is currently being developed with the Forest Lakes MaintenaniCe Building. The area of this parcel where the day care facility ~ to be located remains wooded. Properties developed with dwellings exist to the east and northeast. A church exists to the north~i An undeveloped parcel 352 March 1.5, 1989 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 4) exists to the south. The property has frontage on an existing paved private road which is currently being designed as a state road for acceptance into the state secondary system. Staff Comment: As the Commission may recall, staff noted the appli- cant's plans for a day care facility during review of the maintenance building site plan. The applicant proposes to locate a 4,.000 square foot building in an effort to accommodate an estimated facility enrollment of 120 chil- dren. In addition, an area of 10,000 square feet will be provided for outdoor play. Fencing and landscaping material will be installed between the play area and the maintenance building in an effort to separate the different uses. A drop off/pick up area will be con- structed to reduce on-site congestion in the parking area. In regard to landscaping, the applicant will maintain a 20 foot undisturbed buffer area between the day care facility and the church located to the north. Additional white pines will be planted in the buffer area where tree density is deemed insufficient. The applicant has stated that this facility is being provided for the Forest Lakes residents as an aspect of the planned cOmmunity concept, but may receive child enrollment from the general public. In the opinion of staff this use will not be a substantial detriment to adjacent property, the character of the district will not be changed, and this use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. The facility will provide a much needed service to this area of the County. Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the following conditions: Prior to building occupancy, public sewer shall be extended to this site; me Compliance with Section 5.1.6 DAY CARE, NURSERY FACILITY of the Supplementary Regulations: No such use shall operate without licensure by the Virginia Department of Welfare as a child care center. It shall be the responsibility of the owner/operator to transmit to the Zoning Administrator a copy of the originalilicense and all renewals thereafter and to notify the Zoning Administrator of any license expiration, suspension, or revocation within three (3) days of such event. Failure to do so shall be deemed willful non-compliance with the provisions of this ordinance; Periodic inspection of the premises shall b~ made by the Albemarle County Fire Official at his discrstion. Failure to promptly admit the Fire Official for suc~ inspection shall be deemed willful non-compliance withlthe provisions of this ordinance; ~ These provisions are supplementary and nothing stated herein shall be deemed to preclude application of the requirements of the Virginia Department of ~elfare, Virginia Department of Health, Virginia Sta~e Fire Marshal, or any other local, state or federal agencyi 3. Administrative approval of the site plan; Day care facility enrollment shall be limited to~120 children; additional enrollment shall require amendment tolthe special permit." Mr. Horne said the Planning Commission, at its meeting on March 9, 1989, unanimously recommended approval of SP-88-115 subject to the same conditions as recommended by the staff. March 15, 1989 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 5) 353 The public hearing was opened. Mr. Frank Kessler, representing the applicant, said he accepts the recommendations of the staff. Mr. Kessler presented to the Board an architectural rendering of the proposed facility. This facility ties in with the other two buildings in Forest Lakes and is part of the planned community. The architect has worked with the State and the County for recommendations. Forest Lakes will not be selling the property. The property will be leased on a yearly basis'. People will be coming from the outlying area. As soon as Forest Lakes is able to fill the day care center, it will be used solely for that community. The person who will be running the facility already runs a day care center in the community today. If Board members have any questions the architect and engineer are present. Mr. Bowie asked in what time frame the Forest Lakes community will use the 120 spaces in the facility. Mr. Kessler said his understanding is that the infant portion is already filled and he would estimate that the facility will be 100 percent filled by Forest Lakes residents by 1991. There being no one else present to speak, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Bowie said he is pleased to see this day care facility. Quite often with a large development, there is not adequate day care available. Mr. Bowie then offered motion, seconded by Mr. Lindstrom, to approve SP-88-115 subject to the following conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission: Prior to building occupancy, public sewer shall be extended to this site; Compliance with Section 5.1.6 DAY CARE, NURSERY FACILITY of the Supplementary Regulations: No such use shall operate without licensure by the Virginia Department of Welfare as a child care center. It shall be the responsibility of the owner/operator to transmit to the Zoning Administrator a copy of. the original license and all renewals thereafter and to notify the Zoning Administrator of any license expiration, suspension, or revocation within three (3) days of such event. Failure to do so shall be deemed willful non-compliance With the provisions of this ordinance; Periodic inspection of the premises shall be made by the Albemarle County Fire Official,.at his discretion. Failure to promptly admit the Fire Official for such inspection shall be deemed willful non-compliance with the provisions of this ordinance; c. These provisions are supplementary and nothing stated herein shall be deemed to prec%ude application of the requirements of the Virginia Department of Welfare, Virginia Department of Health,~!Virginia State Fire Marshal, or any other local, state or f~deral agency. Administrative approval of the site.plan; 4. Day care facility enrollment shall be limited to 120 children; additional enrollment shall require~amendment to the special permit. There being no further discussion, roll w~s called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Bain, Bowie, Lindstrom and Perklins. NAYS: None. ABSTAIN: Mrs. Cooke. ABSENT: Mr. Way. 354 March 15, 1989 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 6) Agenda Item No. 11. ZMA-89-01. Richard & Louise Fisco. To rezone 4.612 acres from R-4, with proffer, to RA.

Property on west side of Rt. 20 South, at intersection of Rt. 1135 (Willow Lake Drive). Tax Map 77E1, Parcel 1. Scottsville District. Mr. Horne commented that Mr. and Mrs. Fisco were not present. They were aware of the public hearing because he discussed it with them yesterday. Mr. Home suggested calling the applicants to see if they intended to come to the meeting. Mrs. Cooke suggested going to the next agenda item and waiting to see if the applicants arrive. Agenda Item No. 13. November 30 (A), 1988. There were none read. Approval of Minutes: April 6 (N), April 13 and Mr. Agnor suggested taking up Agenda Item No. 3 fromthe afternoon meeting at this time. Agenda Item No. 3. Pay and Classification Plan Revision - Zoning Admin- istrator. Mr. Agnor said each time a resignation occurs, staff reviews the position for its continuation or revision. A review of the Zoning.~Administrator's position has been completed, and results indicate the salary range assigned to the position should be revised from a Range 29 (34,045 $48,105) to a Range 27 ($30,843 - $43,580). This recommendation is based upon~a market survey, a review of the point factor system used to determine compensation for duties and~responsibilities assigned to all positions, and specific inquiries to nine counties and one city on the assignment and structure of ~ Zoning Administrator within their organization. He requests the approval of an amendment to the Pay and Classification Plan to assign Range 27 to the Zoning Administrator effective immediately. Mr. Bowie offered motion that the recommendation of ~he County Executive to revise the salary range assigned the Zoning Administra~6r's position from a Range 29 (34,045 - $48,105) to a Range 27 ($30,843 $43,~80) be approved. Mr. Perkins asked the recommendations of the salary study done last year. Mr. Agnor said the position was raised from a Range 26 to ~a Range 29. Mr. Perkins then seconded the foregoing motion. Mr. Bain asked why there is such a difference in surveys when one was done just a year ago. Mr. Agnor said the consultant's based their survey on a point factor system and not a market survey. The point f~eto~r system provided a weighted number to the duties and responsibilities of the Zoning Administra- tor's position that the staff found in its review to be in error. The revision to this range was verified by the market survey just taken!i. Mr. Perkins asked if it would be feasible in Albemarle County for the Zoning Administrator to work from within the Planning Department. Mr. Agnor said many years ago the Board separated the Zoning Administrator from the Planning Department and made it a separate department. Mri Bain said he thinks it is a good idea to keep the two departments separate. Mr. Perkins asked if there are other jobs that were c~assified a year ago using the point factor system that could be in error. Mr.ilAgnor said "no" March 15, 1989 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 7) 355 because when the staff found this error, it went back and looked at the scoring on all positions and no other errors were detected. He thinks that for the Zoning Administrator position it was a numerical error. There being no further discussion, roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Bain, Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom and Perkins. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Way. Agenda Item No. 14. Other Matters not Listed on the Agenda from the Board and Public. Mr. Bowie said with regard to Item No. 4.3. on the Consent Agenda, he would assume that the school budget is based on these changes. Mr. Agnor said this memorandum was received after the school budget was completed. He was informed by Mr. Overstreet that this adds $170,000 of state revenues that the school division did not calculate to have. Mr. Bowie asked if someone on staff is keeping track of additional monies the school diVision is receiving. Mr. Agnor said to his knowledge these are thelonly additional funds received. Mr. Perkins asked if the funds received are for mandated programs. Mr. Agnor said he did not ask Mr. Overstreet specifically, but Mr. Overstreet suggested that the School Board be allowed to allocate that money. He would assume that the funds may not be for a mandated program." Mr. Perkins offered motion to reappoint Mr. Mack Sheets to the Industrial Development Authority for a term to expire on,January 19, 1993, to represen, t the White Hall District. Mr. Bowie seconded ~he motion. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded 9ore: AYES: Mr. Bain, Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom and Perkins. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Way. Mr. Horne returned to the meeting and said Mr. Fisco wishes to withdraw ZMA-89-01 and SP-89-01 from the agenda (Item No. 11 and No. 12). Mr. Bain offered motion, seconded by Mr.!Bowie, to accept the request of the applicant to withdraw the applications without prejudice. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Bain, Mr. Bowie, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Lindstrom and Perkins. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Way. Agenda Item No. 15.
