August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Agenda Item NO. 4a. Highway Matters; Site Plan Appeal for the Institute of Textile Technology. Mr. Fisher noted that this item has been removed from the agenda, at the request of the applicant in the following letter: "August 10, 1982 Re: Site Plan Appeal , Institute of Textile Technology Please accept this letter as withdrawal on behalf of the Institute of Textile Technology of the appeal which is set for review by the Board of Supervisors tomorrow, August 11, 1982. The Zoning Administrator has ruled that no site plan approval is required. Very truly yours, (signed) Joseph W. Richmond, Jr." As a history to this matter, Mr. Lindstrom noted the following correspondence: "July 28, 1982 Mr. Charles G. Tewksbury, President Institute of Textile' Technology RE: Institute of Textile Technology Classroom Addition Site Plan (TM 60, Parcel 28) The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on July 27, 1982, approved the above noted site plan subject to the following conditions: A building permit will be processed when the following conditions have been met by the applicant: Fire Official approval of the fire flow; Albemarle County Service Authority approval of the plans for the connection to public sewer; Virginia Department of Highways & Transportation approval of the commercial entrance improvements at the western entrance as recommended in their letter dated July 16, 1982; County Engineer final approval of drainage plans and specifications for the new pavemenT, parking specifications and the service road; Compliance with the Runoff Control Ordinance; Compliance with the Soil Erosion Ordinance. (signed) N. Mason Caperton Senior Planner" "July 20, 1982 Mr. Robert Tucker, Director of Planning 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22901 Dear Mr. Tucker: A site plan was reviewed by the Albemarle County Planning Commission at its meeting July 27, 1982, for a classroom addition at the Institute of Textile Technology. The plan was approved subject to compliance with certain conditions which we believe constitute an undue and unnecessary burden on the applicant. Please consider this letter as a demand pursuant to Section 32.7.6 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance for review of the application by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors. Please advise me of the date when this matter will be heard by the Board of Supervisors. Very truly yours, (signed) Joseph W. Richmond, Jr." "August 10, 1982 Mr. Joseph W. Richmond Jr. Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 Re: Institute of Textile Technology Site Plan This is a follow-up of our conversation of yesterday concerning the above matter. Based on the fact that no additional parking is required, and there will be no additional employees or students, I am ruling that no site plan is required for the above site. There is no intensification of use at this site and the Department of Highways and Transportation does not become involved unless there is an intensification of use as per my telephone conversation yesterday with Mr. Roosevelt of the Highway Department. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact me at this office. (signed) Jesse R. Hurt, Deputy Director of Inspections" August 11, 1_ _ r_ 982 (Regular Da~ Meeting)~ Miss Nash said she attended the Planning Commission meeting of July 27, 1982, and stated that the Commission had concerns about the entrance, capacity of the septic system and whether or not this facility should be connected to the public water and sewer system, the aesthetic appearance of the site since the stonewall would be removed; and the affect of an additional drainfield on the watershed. Mr. Lindstrom asked Mr. St. John for his opinion on the Zoning Administrator's ruling, and asked if any site plan at all was required. Mr. St. John asked for time to review the correspondence just noted by Mr. Lindstrom and the ordinances involved in such a ruling. Mr. Dan Roosevelt of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation stated that if the requirement for a site plan is waived, then improvements to the entrance on this site will be impossible to obtain. Mr. Fisher said he has spoken to Mr. Charles G. Tewksbury of the Institute and was informed that the plans would include a new building and the moving of the present parking lot to another location on the property. Mr. Fisher said this seemed to be an intensification of use. Mr. St. John said according to the ordinances, an intensification of use only occurs if the entrance to the property changes or if additional parking is required. Mr. Agnor noted that there are presently ninety parking spaces on the property, and it is proposed that when the improvements are com- pleted there will still be ninety parking spaces. Mr. Fisher said he was extremely concerned that such drastic changes could be allowed to occur without having to file a site plan. Mr. Fisher again asked Mr. St. John to check further into this situation and report back as soon as possible during this meeting. Agenda Item No. 4b. Other Highway Matters: Mr. Roosevelt said with regard to the site proposed for Crozet Library, he would recommend one way traffic through the site in a clockwise direction. Mr. Roosevelt said he had a copy of a sketch which he would deliver to Mr. Tucker for incorporation into the architects report on this proposed site. Mr. Agnor reported that a staff member had attended a conference in Richmond con- cerning the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission study of the allocation of construction funds for Virginia's roads and highways. Mr. Agnor said it was reported that there are about twenty factors being considered for allocation of funds. Mr. Fisher said he has felt a "definition of need"'should be included in the allocation formula based on population growth. Mr. Fisher said additional pressure should be placed on the JLARC Committee to use the most current population figures, rather than the census reports which are updated only once a decade. It was the consensus of the Board that Mr. Agnor attempt to encourage the JLARC Committee to use the current population figures, rather than the census figures when preparing allocation of funds procedures. Mrs. Cooke requested Mr. Roosevelt to fill a "very deep hole" at the crossover on Route 29 directly in front of the Real Estate III building. Mr. Roosevelt said he Would have his crew look at the problem. Mr. Butler noted receipt of a copy of a letter from Mr. Roosevelt to Mrs. Carol Huffman regarding requested road improvements. Mr. Butler said he would like to find a way that people living on very rural roads could obtain road improvements.' Agenda Item 4a. Highway Matters Re: Site Plan Appeal Institute of Textile Technology (continued). Mr. St. John said he has just completed speaking with Messrs. Tucker and Hurt regarding this site plan. Mr. St. John said he was informed by Mr. Tucker that the original site plan filed had an error which indicated there would be fourteen additional parking spaces constructed. Since there will be no additional parking spaces, no site plan procedure'is required. Mr. Lindstrom said that conditions such as fire official approval of fire' flow, compliance with Runoff Control and Soil Erosion Ordinances and drainage plan specifications are all "triggered" by obtaining a building permit; but he was concerned about adequacy of the existing drainfield and possible connection to the public water and sewer system. Mr. St. John said that absent a mandatory connection policy or a very clear health hazard, there is nothing the County can do to require water and sewer hookup. Miss Nash asked about the new requirement in the Zoning Ordinance for an alternate septic field location. Mr. St. John said that requirement cannot be applied in this situation. Mr. Lindstrom suggested that possibly the definition of the term "intensification of use" should be redefined to include areas other than parking or entrance requirements. Mr. St. John noted Zoning Ordinance Section 32.2.1(e), which sets out conditions under which no site plan is required. Mr. St. John said the. Board would have to stay within the scope of the exemption from the zoning process of nonconforming/preexisting uses which are exempt from the zoning process. Mr. Lindstrom then asked if a nonconforming use could be exempt from the ordinances if it was intended to construct a whole new facility even if for the same purpose. Mr. St. John said there are laws which cover the expansion of a nonconforming use and gave the example of the Monticello Memory Gardens request for a mausoleum. Mr. Lindstrom then referred to Section 32.2.1(e) of the zoning ordinance which refers to entrance improvements recommended by the Highway Engineer based on intensification of use. Mr. Roosevelt said he has recommended improvements to the entrance, but would have done so even without the intensification of use. Mr. Fisher said he could not under- ~tand how a 5,000 square foot structure and a new parking lot was not considered an intensification of use. Miss Nash said this proposed structure is really a change in use because it will be used for conferences, not for classrooms. Miss Nash also stated her concern about saturation of the present septic system and the recommendation by the '60I ~d ¢60~ ~oo~ p~ u~ ¢~ZI~A~@~oz~MD jo ~0 ~M~ jo ~noo ¢~no~D ~M~ jo ~o~jjo ~IO ~M~ u~ p~p~oo~ ¢696I ¢9~ @unf p~p p~p ~q ~uno~ @I~m~qIV jo p~o~ Ioo~ ~unoo @~ o~ p~uoo ~@do~d jo uo~od ~ ~u~@q pu~ ~0~I ~d ~0g~ ~oo~ P~@G u~ ~II~@~oI~q0 jo uoy~o@~ ~poo ~TuT~A o2 ~u~ns~nd ¢~unoo ~I~@qIV jo p~o~ oma JO ~Td wo (~j ~nb~ L~-00~¢gZ) so~o~ Z~9'T ~uTuT~uoo ~ :p~@p Mons o~ y~s s,@I~@qIv jo E~unoo ~M~ x~jj~ -$oI~MO jo E~YO ~M~ o2 E~do~d p~qy~os~p ~oy~q @M~ ~uyE~uoo p~p ~ o~ pgz~oq~n~ s~ s~os~@dn~ jo p~o~ o~ jo u~m~O oq~ ~ ~@I~mgqIV jo ~unoo oq~ jo s~osyA~gdn~ jo p~o~ 9q~ ~q G~A~0~ZH ~I ~ X&H,~OHg HIOAH.WW,WH X~HO %A! ~O,~ ~WDXVHDX.W NV ,~O .I, HV~ WV .W~IqIAW~,I,,I, OqHVHO ,~O %~I0 ~WH& :s~oIIOJ s~ Egugo$~v E~unoo ~q~ jo 9o!jjo @q~ mo~j uoy~nIoss~ ~j~p ~ jo ~d$@o9~ ps~ou uo uoy2ow pyas ~sMsyg '~ 'uoyss@s usdo o~uy ~o~q p@usAuoo@~ pg~o~ ~q~ '~'V ~:0Y ~V '9uox 'qs~X ssyX pu~ ~o~spuyq ¢~@IU@H {~gqsyg 's~ssoX ¢@~oo0 's~X ¢~@I%n~ :WXVX :W~XV uoy~9II~ I~@I oq~ %~q~ g~oq o~ uoyss~s oAy~noox9 ~oj uoy~om ~q% ~oddns PlnO~ oq pyas ~og~spuy% '~X 'g@t~n~ 'gX Xq p~puoo~s s~ uoy~om @q~ 'sgs~m I~sI ~uyssnosyp jo ~sodgnd sM~ ~oj uoIss@s sAI~nosxs o~uI ugno~p~ o% uoy~om sM~ @~m PInO~ ~q pyas ~sIUSH · pgssnosyp 9q uoy~s~nb uy m@Iqogd I~I 9q~ jo 9~n~u oyjyoods oq~ uoyssnosyp 9q~ jo ~ss~no ~q% ~ ~q~ uoy~ypuoo sq~ uo sAy~nosxs o~uy ~uyo~ %~oddns pIno~ sM pyas · g~ 'puy~ syM~ jo uoy~ssnb ~u~ goj @gnp@oo~d ~dogd ~ sq pIno~ ~M~ ~I~J ~q pyas uqof · ~ '~ -uoyss@s @Ay~no@xs jo ~no yo~q ~moo o~ ~uYIIY~ sq pIno~ sM s~y~do~dd~uy uoyssnosyp sM~ jy ~nq Cuoyss@s @Ay~nosx@ o~uy o~ o~ ~uYIIY~ s~ sq pyas ~sIUSH '~M~Y~ II~ sy ~$ uoq~ uoy~ygdogdd~ 9q~ jo X~!I~oI oq% o~ p~9~ M~Y~ sy aY JY ~nq uqof '~W '~ 'noyes@nb @q% s! ~q~ pyas gs~gy~ 'g~ 'uoy~gs 9Ay~noox@ ~oj uoyssnosyp jo ~@~ 9~i~!~oI ~ s! ~y uoq~ Cuoy~ssnb uy sy JIOS~y uoy~y~dogdd~ @q~ ~o poq%@m $o X~yI~91 9q~ jy ~q~ ~IoJ ~nq Cuoyssnosyp syq~ jo ~uyuuy~@q @q~ p~oq ~ou p~q @q uqof '~S 'g~ -spunj jo ~jsu~ pu~ @ou~u!p~o noy~y~dogdd~ sq~ uy ~u~qo ~ ssnosyp o~ uoyss~s-@Ay~no@x~ u~ ~uy~s~nb9~ ~noq~ uoyuydo syq goj uqof '~W 'g~ P@~ gsqsy~ ('X'V 80:0I ~ ~uy%oom 9q~ o~ pougn~s~ uqof -~S '~X) ~ ~ syq~ ~I@J @q pyas mog~spuy% .g~ '9ou~u!p~o ~q o~ suoy~y~do~dd~ pu~ go~m I~@I ~ s! @ou~uypgo u~ uy o~u~qo ~u~ ~q~ ~I@J oM pu~ suoy~oyIdmoo I~@I omos o~o~ 9~oq~ ~IsJ 9q ~q~ ¢oIIqnd uy sg@~m @sgq~ ssnosyp o~ qsy~ ~ou pyp sq pyas ~oqsy~ -~ 's9~n~qo ~9~pnq pssodogd 9sgM~ mo~j ~Insg~ ~q~ym qoyq~ uoy~y~yi 9Iqyssod ~o ~nypu9d ~u~ jo 9g~ ~ou s~ @q pyas mog~puy% 'g~ 'pgAIoAuy suos~gd uy~9o jo s~uyIssj 9M~ 9A~s o~ XIuo uoyssgs SAy~n09x@ O~Uy O~ O~ @~ygdogdd~uy ~y ~I9J sM pu~ o$Iqnd uy s~s~%~m I~you~uyj ssnosyp o~ ~yIyqysuods9~ ~ s~q p~o~ @q~ pyas mo~%spuy~ .~ 'I~9I u~q~ onssy I~Iou~uyj ~ @gom uoIssnosyp goj gs%%~m sq~ ~I@J oM ~q~ p~pp~ mog~spuy~ 'gX 'uoys~nosyp ~oj P@Inp@~os 9Ay~nosx@ 9q~ goJ pouoysyAu9 ~9qsy~ 'g~ %~q~ o~ns ~ou s~ sM pyas mo~spuyq ssy~Inoyjjyp sM~ ssnosyp pInoqs p~o~ sq~ ~I@J sM pyas gsMsyg 'gX 'uoy%o~sue~ Ie~sI ~ sw~ ~IsJ sM MoYM~ ¢@ou~uypgo uoy~y~dogdde sq~ u7 @~u~qo ~ s~eAy~d uy ssnosyp o% ~@p~o uy · s~uompu@~V %9~pn~ pu~ s~gjsu~g~ Csuoy~y~do~ddv ~od@H I~you~uyg ~86I ¢0~ sunf sM~ jo uosssnosIG '~'~ pu~ cg'~ ¢~.~ ~y.~ 'oM sms~I ~P~s~V ('~'V ~0:0I ~ ~uI~oo~ 9q~ ~J@T uqof '~W '~X) 's~osyAgodn~ jo p~o~ @q~ Xq po~ynb@~ sy uoy~o~ ou pu~ CT~odd~ 9q~ ~II~m~oj s~q ~u~oyIdd~ oq~ ~IInU somoooq uoyssymmoD ~uyuu~I~ oq~ Xq u9~ uoy~o~ Cpg~ynb@~ ey u~Id @~ys ou ~q~ PoIn~ s~q ~o~s!uympv ~uyuoz 9q~ oouys ~q~ pouy~Idxo uqof '~S 'gX 'g@~m syq~ ~uyp~o~ uo~ @q o~ psposu sy uoy~o~ ~q~ poys~ ~@qsy~ M2I~@H @q~ '~@~sXs oy~dgs ~usso~d @q~ q~y~ ~zy~ smoIqo~d Ru~ jy ~q~ p@pp~ uMof '~ · 2ss sq ~ouu~o dn~ooq gs~@s oIIqnd ~Uy~ynbs~ uoy2ypuoo ~ 'ps~ynb@g sy u~Id @~ys ou pyas uqof '~W 'g~ '~@~ss o!Iqnd o2 dn ~ooM PInoMs ~@dogd syq~ ~q% uoyssyur~oo (~uyq. oo~ ~'~q ~In~) 886I 'II ~sn~n¥ August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Mr. Fisher asked Mr. St. John if the deed papers have been drawn~up by the City of Charlottesville for transfer of property near Ivy Creek to Albemarle County. Mr. St. John said those papers have been prepared and are in order. Motion was then offered by Miss ~Nash and seconded by Mr. Lindstrom to adopt the resolution as presented. There was no further discussion, roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 6. Visitors Bureau' Annual Report. Ms. Betty McLemore and Mr. Michael Ludgate were present representing the Visitors Bureau. Mr. Ludgate presented a detailed written annual report to the Board (on file in the office of the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors) and then highlighted some of the more significant accomplishments. Mr. Ludgate said that since 1980 tourist dollars spent in the Charlottesville area have increased by 57% while those same dollars have decreased by 33% throughout the remainder of the State. Mr. Ludgate noted that great efforts have been made to recruit bus tours to the area and also to divert some of the tourists enroute to the World's Fair at Knoxville. Lastly he noted that the Visitors Center has begun charging a fee of fifty cents to see the movie "Mr. Jefferson's Legacy" and that proceeds are averaging $500 per week. Mr. Fisher commented on behalf of the Board that members of the Visitors Bureau were doing an excellent job. Agenda Item No. 7. Property Committee Report on Scottsville School. Mr. Agnor reviewed his memorandum dated August 6, 1982, to the Board of Supervisors as follows: "The Property Committee has held a public meeting in Scottsvitle to hear the citizen's request and recommendations on the future use of the former school property. Additionally, a committee of five Scottsville area citizens has met with the Property Committee and staff to discuss the ~ommunity's concerns, and consider several alternative uses for the property. Miss Nash has participated in a number of other discussions and-meetings with citizens on the matter. The first priority of the community is to retain the recreation facilities and programs which utilize the gymnasium and the ball fields around the school. The second priority is to convert the building (classroom and office areas) to a productive use through lease, sale or gift to assure that the property will not remain vacant and be a liability to the community. The uses proposed included housing, commercial or industrial use, church and church school, day care center, and a center for the arts. The Property Committee recommends the following: 1) The gymnasium wing (which includes two classrooms, cafeteria and rest rooms) and adjacent land be retained for community uses. 2) The ball fields, one of which is on Uniroyal property, be continued in the County recreation program. Representatives from Uniroyal have indicated their willingness to provide the land for this purpose. 3) The remainder of the school building and adjacent smaller buildings be sold. 4) To begin the sale process, that authorization be granted the staff to employ an appraiser to establish the fair market value. The property should be sold for no less than fair market value. That value can be established by appraisal or by auction. The Property Committee was not in favor of the auction process, and recommends that, if approved for sale, the property be sold by advertisement for bids by interested purchasers. There are several potential purchasers, primarily interested in converting the property to housing for the elderly. Surveys of the Scottsville area indicate a need for that housing and trips by staff toJother localities where vacant school buildings have been converted to elderly housing projects with reser- ~hi~n of a portion of the property for community recreation uses, indicates such conversions work'well. If the Board desires to stipulate the use in the sale of the property, they can do so. Such restriction would probably affect the market value. The property could be appraised with the restriction and without the restriction, to determine the effect on its marketability, if the Board so desires." Mr. Fisher said he agreed that the building should be appraised, but.requested that before any bids are solicited the public should be given an opportunity to investigate the possibility of converting the structure into low income housing for the elderly or some other semi-public use. Miss Nash agreed that the possibility of low income elderly housing seemed the most feasible. Miss Nash said the construction of a dyke along the James River would also have an affect on the appraised value'of the school building. Miss Nash then offered motion to authorize the appraisal of the Old Scottsville School property for full potential value, for use as low income elderly housing, both with and without the dyke in place. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindstrom. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. 331' August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Agenda Item No. 8. Discussion: Proposed Crozet Library Building. Mr. Agnor reported that in accordance with instructions given by the Board of Supervisors, the.Perry Founda- tion conducted a structural study of'the building as well as a study of the land use management. Mr. Agnor said the building is architecturally sound and feasible for use as a library. The land area is sufficient for parking, and the Perry Foundation is discussing potential additional land for extra parking if required in the future. The Highway Department has given it's approval of property ingress and egress. Mr. Agnor reported that the Perry Foundation is continuing negotiations with the property owners, and if all goes well, the Foundation will hire the architect and the architect will consult with the Library Board of Trustees regarding the conversion of the property. When the project is completed and ready to be occupied, the Perry Foundation will transfer ownership of the property to the County of Albemarle. Mr. Agnor then noted~ that the depot building will need to be connected to the new sewage disposal system in Crozet, and that it is possible that the existing sewer pipes may be able to be used to switch from the old system (which emptied into the Lickinghole Creek) to the new package treatment plant installed by Windham, Inc. Mr. Agnor said the Perry Foundation has requested that the Board consider incurring the expense of connecting to the sewer system. Mr. Agnor said this might involve the cost for new pipe and the payment of a connection fee to the Service Authority. Mr. Fisher asked if the depot could legally be connected to the system. Mr. Agnor explained that the depot building had been requested to be hooked to the Windham system, but chose to close down the depot instead. Mr. Agnor said the estimate of costs, including the connection fee, would be approximately $7,000. Mr. Henley asked if the C & 0 Railroad (present owners of the building) would be willing to grant an easement for placement of sewer pipes. Mr. Agnor said the Railroad has agreed to grant an easement for the sewer pipe, even if it requires boring under the track to install new pipe. Mr. Fisher asked if any problems were foreseen in meeting site plan requirements or land use ordinances. Mr. Agnor said if the impervious covered area is increased, there may be some difficulty in meeting runoff control ordinance requirements, which might result in the present parking remaining unpaved. Mr. Fisher asked if there were any way to improve runoff in that area. Mr. Agnor said the architects are studying the possibility of additional landscaping and grass areas to help control water flow from the area. Mr. Fisher asked about noise from the trains and potential hazards of children crossing the train tracks. Mr. Agnor said noise and frequency of trains passing the building has not been studied in depth, but it is generally felt that it will create no problem. Mr. Agnor said the Railroad will require a fence to be built on both sides of the track for the full length of the property with a gate.at the point of crossing. Mr. Agnor said there should be little need for people to cross the tracks, because adequate parking will be available beside the building. Mr. Agnor said the Perry Foundation is requesting the Board's approval of their proceeding with this project. Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, the Perry Foundation has offered to purchase or lease the former Chessie System Railroad Depot property with Foundation funds, including the renovation of the building for library use; and WHEREAS, the Perry Foundation has further offered to transfer the renovated property to Albemarle County for use as a library to serve the Crozet community, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors that the proposal by the Perry Foundation is accepted with the following understandings: 1. that all County Ordinances will be observed and fulfilled; that the County of Albemarle agrees to pay connection fees and costs of pipe installation or repair of presently existing pipes, directly related in the connection of the Chessie System Railroad Depot building to the Windham, Inc. package sewage treatment plant, as required in Special Permit 80-59, approved by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors on October 15, 1980 (Minute Book 19, page 352). AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors hereby expresses its appreciation to the Perry Foundation Trustees for assisting in providing these facilities for library services to the citizens of Albemarle County. Mrs. Cooke asked if an indepth study has been conducted as to the exact library needs of the Crozet community. Mr. Agnor said the Perry Foundation has not conducted such a study. Mr. Lindstrom offered to amend his motion to include a statement that the Library Board concur in the suitability of this building for this purpose. Mr. Agnor said the Library Board has agreed to the proposed buil-ding. Mrs. Karen Hayden, a member of the Library Board, said the Library Board adopted a resolution accepting the offer of the Perry Foundation. Mr. Lindstrom said he wished his motion to remain as originally stated. Mr. Henley agreed to second the motion as originally stated. Roll was then called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Agenda Item No. 9. Discussion: Amendments to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Mr. St. John presented wording to amend Sections 32.7.6 and 32.2.3 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance and Section 18-4 of the Albemarle County Subdivision Ordinance and adding a new Section 18-17.1 to the Subdivision Ordinance. Mr. St. John stated that these "house- keeping measures" have been discussed with Mr. Tucker, and must be brought before the Planning Commission. Mr. St. John requested the Board to adopt a resolution of intent as follows: BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, intends to amend the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance and the Albemarle County Subdivision Ordinance to redefine the term "person aggrieved"; and FURTHER REQUESTS the Planning Commission to hold public hearing on said proposals to amend the County Zoning Ordinance and County Subdivision Ordinance and report back to this Board at the earliest possible date. Mr. Lindstrom asked for an explanation of the wording proposed for Section 18-17.1. Mr. St. John explained that it will be required that the Planning Commission notify the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors upon approval or disapproval of any plat showing a public facility as indicated in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. St. John explained that the way the ordinances are presently worded, the Board of Supervisors would not be aware of any such approvals unless a citizen appealed the plat. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Miss Nash, to adopt the resolution of intent as requested by Mr. St. John. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Agenda Item No. 10. Discussion: Albemarle County Service Authority Jurisdictional Areas. Mr. Fisher said he thought this item was scheduled for public hearing today. Mr. Fisher was informed by the Deputy Clerk that the legal advertisement requirements had not been met and readvertisement would be necessary. Mr. Agnor asked the Board to consider an emergency situation which has been in existence for a number of months. Mr. Agnor said property owned by Mr. James T. Graves, located on Woodburn Road, known as Tax Map 45, Parcel 27B, has been without water for a number of months. Mr. Agnor said the public water line runs immediately adjacent to the rear of the property and Mr. Graves would be eligible to connect to public water if the jurisdictional· areas (project areas) map were amended as advertised. Mr. Lindstrom asked the best way to solve Mr. Graves problem. Mr. St. John said the entire project areas map could be revised as ordered advertised and adopted on an emergency basis, or this single parcel could be delineated and granted hook up to the Service Authority water line on an emergency basis. Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom to extend water service as an emergency measure to property owned by Mr. James T. Graves, located on Woodburn Road, known as Tax Map 45, Parcel 27B. Mr. Fisher asked if anyone was present regarding the amendment to the project areas of the Albemarle County Service Authority, or the property of Mr. James T. Graves. No one was present wishing to speak either for or against the proposed amendment or emergency measure. Mr. Fisher asked if Mr. Graves knew that this water line connection is only for the presently existing structure and would not pertain to any new buildings. Mr. Agnor said this was explained to both Mr. Graves and his attorney. AYES: NAYS: The motion was seconded by Mrs. Cooke and carried by the following recorded vote: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Mr. Fisher said with regard to rescheduling the public hearing to amend the Albemarle County Service Authority Project Areas Map, it could not be rescheduled for the day meeting of September 8, 1982, because no quorum will be present. Mr. Fisher suggested the meeting of September 8, 1982, be officially cancelled and rescheduled for September 15, 1982, and then any public hearings set for September 8 could be rescheduled for September 15. Motion was offered by Miss Nash, seconded by Mrs. Cooke, to cancel the regular day meeting of the Board of Supervisors, scheduled for September 8, 1982, and reschedule same for September 15, 1982. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. MOtion was then offered by Mrs. CooMe, seconded by Mr. Butler, to readvertise the public hearing for amending the Albemarle County Service Authority Project Areas Map for September 15, 1982. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. 333 August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Agenda Item No. 11. Report: Berkeley/Four Seasons Flooding. Mr. Maynard L. Elrod, County Engineer, was present and delivered the following report of drainage problems in the Berkeley/Four Seasons Area, as written in his memorandum to the Board dated August 5, 1982: "Statement of Problem The major drainage problem in the subject area is the flooding that occurs from Route 29 to a point on Four Seasons Drive approximately 1700 feet upstream of Route 29. (Attached to report are three maps, which are on file in the office of the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors.) Cause of the Flooding There are four structures in this reach of the stream that contribute to the flooding. (Note: This study is preliminary and does not determine which structure, if any, is the initial or primary cause of the problem.) 1. The culvert at Route 29 causes a back up of water to the red line shown on the map. 2. The culvert at Commonwealth Drive backs up and causes flooding over Commonwealth Drive and Four Seasons Drive. 3. The double line of culverts that crosses Four Seasons Drive 350 feet upstream of Commonwealth Drive causes a back up that overtops Four Seasons Drive. This overflow travels down the street section to Commonwealth Drive, across Commonwealth Drive and across the Stark's property. 4. The dam at Four Seasons Lake overtops and the flow travels down Four Seasons Drive. Discussion All of the above structures and the channels that connect them were de- signed to carry the flow from a ten-year storm and seem to be adequate for that storm. The ten-year criteria is an accepted engineering and economic practice for secondary roads. What is acceptable for roads however, is not adequate for homes and businesses. Possible Solutions Alternate A: Detention Basins. The total drainage area that drains to Commonwealth Drive is 312 acres. Approximately two-thirds of that area is already fully developed with no room left for detention basins (although it may be possible to modify Four Seasons Lake to provide some detention if the owner agreed). The runoff from the rest of the area, which is now undeveloped, could be controlled as it develops, however, the present Stormwater Detention Ordinance would not make an appreciable improvement for the one hundred year storm since it only provides for some detention of the ten-year storm. This study is too preliminary to go further than stating the writer's opinion that detention basins in the area upstream of Commonwealth Drive will help the situation but will not solve the flooding at Commonwealth Drive. Alternate B: Channel and Culvert Improvements. A very preliminary study was made to determine the size of channels and culverts that would be required to control the one hundred year flood through the Commonwealth Drive area. These structures are shown on map III. The estimated cost range is $175,000 to $200,000. No improvements were proposed for Route 29 since the back up from the culvert does not affect Commonwealth Drive. These improvements would not place any additional burden on the culvert at Route 29 since there is really no ponding or detention occurring at Commonwealth Drive now. The improvements through the Stark's~property would consist of a concrete channel that would be five feet deep and fifteen feet wide. Some regrading of the yard would be required but the lot and house would not be disturbed. Conclusions A. Detention basins above Commonwealth Drive will help but not solve the flooding problem at Commonwealth Drive. B. The use of the Stark property as a detention basin would not help the problem at Route 29 because the volume of water that could be stored there is far too small to be effective. C. The only feasible way of controlling the one hundred year storm would be a series of concrete culverts and channels that would cost $175,000 to $200,000 and which would allow the Stark's home to remain. August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Mr. Elrod noted that if detention basins are constructed along with future develop- ?ment, the costs for improved culverts and channels could be redUced. Mr. Fisher asked if there were adequate ordinances, etc. to require detention basins in the new areas as they are developed. Mr. Elrod answered no, that he would require a complete drainage study of the area, which would allow computer analysis of the problem and possibly offer some solutions. Mr. Elrod said the stormwater detention ordinance only speaks to a ten year storm and that it was his feeling that regional basins would be required rather than having same on the site. Mr. Elrod said once a general detention basin plan is established, developers could be required to follow those plans and con- tribute toward their costs. Mr. Fisher asked who would be responsible for the maintenance and inspection of those structures. Mr. Elrod felt it would be a public responsibility. Mr. Fisher expressed concern that if channels are constructed in the Four Seasons/Berkele community, it would cause fast moving water to flood other areas further downstream. Mr. Fisher asked if the Four Seasons Lake were improved, would it retain sufficient water to help improve the drainage situation. Mr. Elrod said the lake is only five acres, and would make no noticeable improvement in severe storm situations. Mrs. Cooke asked if there was anything which would help improve the situation at the Starks residence. Mr. Elrod said the $200,000 in improvements just reviewed would be the only thing he could recommend with any certainty of effectiveness. Mr. Lindstrom said he felt the problem was far more widespread than just the flooding which occurred at Berkeley/Four Seasons and the Starks property, and that it will take far in excess of $200,000 to correct. Mr. Fisher said he was not willing to expend that sum of money for the benefit of so few people. Mrs. Cooke asked if the proposed improvements would only benefit the Starks property and that of one adjacent neighbor. Mr. Elrod said improved culverts and channels would only directly benefit those two families, but that such improvements would.leave the roads in that area open and therefore benefit many. Mr. Lindstrom said he could not justify the expenditure of even $100,000 to make these improvements. Mr. Lindstrom said there are many problems of similar severity throughout the County and he could not justify correcting the problem at Four Seasons for the benefit of so few people. Mr. Lindstrom thanked Mr. Elrod for conducting the study because the information presented allowed him to make a clear decision. Miss Nash said she agreed with Mr. Lindstrom and added that another storm of this severity may not hit again for a very long time, and then it may not affect the same area of the County. Mrs. Cooke said if this report had shown that the $200,000 would completely solve the problem of flooding experienced by the Starks family, she would fight to have it done. Mrs. Cooke said she cannot support that expenditure because it will not solve the problem. Mr. Elrod said he felt the conclusion shown in his preliminary study is that if the channels and culverts are constructed, it will protect the Starks home from a one hundred year flood. Mr. Agnor said nothing could ever be totally guaranteed because if a tree fell and blocked one of those improved culverts, it could still create a severe flooding problem. Mrs. Cooke said in view of this clarification she would offer motion to make this proposal the first part of the overall county drainage study. Mr. Lindstrom said he would second that motion with a qualification that he is supporting the entire overall study, not specifically work to correct the problems of flooding being experienced by the Starks family. Mr. Elrod said such an overall study would be accomplished in two steps; first to gather all the physical data, second to analyze that data via computer. Mr. Agnor asked for a clarification of the motion asking if it was intended that when the overall drainage plan is approved, that the Berkeley/Four Seasons area will be the first area to be studied. Mr. Fisher said that was correct, that this motion was not approval of the overall drainage plan study. Roll was then called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES:NAYS: Mr' None. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. At 12:28 P.M., Mr. Fisher requested motion to adjourn into executive session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters. Motion was offered by Mr. Henley, seconded by Mr. Lindstrom, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. At 2:40 P.M., the meeting was reconvened back into open session. Agenda Item No. 13. SP-82-38. Edward D. R. Naude. In accordance with Section 5.6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, request for a special use permit in order to locate a mobile~home on 14.690 acres zoned RA Rural Areas. Property located two miles east of Route 29 South on the north side of Route 633, County Tax Map 109, Parcel 47H, Samuel Miller Magisterial District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on July 12 and July 19, 1982.) Mr. Tucker read the planning staff report and the recommendation of the Planning Commission as follows: Request: Mobile Home Acreage: 15.49 acres Zoning: RA Rural Areas Location: Property, described as Tax Map 109, Parcel 47H, located about two miles east of Route 29 South on the north side of Route 633. 3 35 August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Character of:the Area: This property is heavily wooded. Two dwelling units are in the immediate vicinity, a single-family dwelling to the west and a mobile home across Route 633. Other properties are wooded. Staff Comment: This application comes before you due to complaint from M & B Partnership, which owns five other undeveloped lots in the area. (In selling this property to the applicant, M & B Partnership agreed to removal of language from the deed which prohibited mobile homes.) Staff opinion is that the mobile home, properly located, would be effectively screened from adjoining properties and from Route 633. Should the Commission and Board choose to approve this application, Staff recommends the following conditions: 1. Compliance with Section 5.6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance; Maintenance of a 100 foot tree buffer around the perimeter of the property except as necessary for access to Route 633. Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission on July 27, 1982, voted to recommend approval with the conditions recommended by the staff. Mr. Fisher asked if Mr. Naude was present and if he had any comments. Mr. Naude said. he would like to know more about the require- ment of a one hundred foot tree buffer around the perimeter of the property. Mr. Naude asked if this buffer was required of all mobile homeowners. Mr. Tucker said this is not a typical requirement set by the Planning Commission, but felt it was most likely set to retain the majority of the tree cover. Mr. Naude asked that the second condition be removed, unless it is al~standard requirement of all mobile homes. No one else wished to speak either for or against this special permit request, and Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Lindstrom offered motion to approve SP-82-38 with only the first condition, stating that he felt all mobile home applications should be treated equally. The motion was seconded by Mr. Henley. Mr. Fisher asked if condition one would require some screening under Section 5.6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Tucker said yes, that a representative'of the Inspections Department visits the site and determines where and the amount of screening required. There was no further discussion, and motion to approve SP-82-38 with the one condi- tion requiring compliance with Section 5.6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, was approved by the f011owing recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 14. Final Report of 208 Watershed Management Study of the South Rivanna Reservoir and Guidelines for the Preparation and Review of Runoff Control Permit Applications. Mrs. Treva Cromwell, Chairman of the 208 Technical Advisory Committee, and Dr. Frank X. Browne were present to give this final report. Mrs. Cromwell gave a brief summary of the goals and recommendations of the study. (Mrs. Cromwell's comments are on file in the office of the Clerk to the Board of Supervisors, in a memorandum to the Board dated August 11, 1982.) Dr. Browne presented a slide presentation and dissertation on his report dated May 1982 (Copy of this report is on file in the office of the Clerk to the Board of Super- visors.) Dr. Browne said six major areas of conclusions were reached following this study, in the areas of reservoir water quality; pollutant sources; regional sedimentation ponds; runoff control ordinance; watershed management plan; and institutional. Dr. Browne presented charts and other data regarding the eutrophic condition of the reservoir and data collected from 1975 through 1981. Dr. Browne said he would make the following recommendations as a result of this study: RESERVOIR WATER QUALITY: Annual water quality monitoring should be performed to evaluate long- term water quality trends. The Rivanna Wa~er & Sewer Authority should continue to operate the reservoir aeration system to further investigate its effectiveness. Another bathymetric survey should be performed in 1986 to calculate the present reservoir capacity and compare it to the capacity measured in 1976. POLLUTANT SOURCES: 1. Treatment plant effluents from point sources in the watershed should be monitored for total phosphorus. The effluent from Del Monte Frozen Foods wastewater treatment plant is presently monitored for total phosphorus. Both total and soluble phosphorus should be measured in the plant's effluent. / / August ll, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) 3..3.8 Additional monitoring of the major streams should be performed to refine the pollutant loading relationships developed during the peresent study and to develop a priority system for implementing best management practices throughout the watershed. A relatively inexpensive monitoring system, relating phosphorus content to settleable solids, may be feasible and would significantly reduce the laboratory analyses required. If additional water quality problems arise in the Crozet area, an intensive groundwater monitoring study should be performed in the Crozet area to assess the impact of septic systems on water quality. WATERSHED MANAGEMENT Local officials should continue to implement the 1979 Watershed Management Plan. Albemarle County should adopt the revised guidelines and methodology for the Runoff Control Ordinance. The installation of regional sedimentation ponds upstream of the Rivanna Reservoir should be considered when implementing watershed management activities. The Watershed Management Official should continue to coordinate watershed management activities. He should periodically send a brief update or progress report on watershed management activities to agencies involved in watershed management activities. A financial management study should be performed to determine the most cost effective financial and institutional approach to watershed management. The Board of Supervisors should investigate whether partial or com- plete funding assistance for performing a financial management study is available from the State Water Control Board. Such funding may be available through the Environmental Protection Agency's 205-J Clean Water Act Program. The Board of Supervisors should appoint a committee composed of one member each from the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, Soil Conser- vation. Service, County citizen, farming interests and the Watershed Management Official to: a) Establish guidelines for administering the watershed management program to encourage best management practices on farms in the water- shed. b) Investigate ways and means to implement and fund these management activities. c) Investigate the current Use Value Taxation program to determine what measures could be adopted that would allow the County to tie any such tax benefits to the landowners performance in maintaining and continuing to implement a management program. Following the completion of Dr. Browne's presentation. Mr. Agnor requested the Board to accept this report and refer it to the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority. Mr. Agnor said the County Engineer would be involved in this review since Mr. Elrod is a member of the technical committee. Motion was offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Miss Nash, to accept the recom- mendation of the County Executive and accept the Final Report of the 208 Watershed Manage- ment Study of the South Rivanna Reservoir and Guidelines for the Preparation and Review of Runoff Control Permit Applications. Mr. Lindstrom.asked.if the point source pollutants were eliminated or more effectively curtailed, Wo6ld it reflect an improved water quality in the reservoir. Dr. Browne said if a major point source of pollutants were removed, in time there is a good possibility that there wouldbe a direct improvement to water quality. There was no further discussion.. Roll was called and the motion to accept the report as presented by Dr. Browne carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Agenda Item No. 15. Other Matters. Mr. Fisher noted with regard to the proposed Buck Mountain Creek Reservoir, that the Charlottesville City Council has not yet taken any action on the recommendation from the Rivanna Water and Sewer~ Authority. Mr. Fisher also noted that the moratorium on building on land-in the vicinity of the proposed Buck Mountain Creek Reservoir is due to expire onAugust 13, 1982. Mr. Fisher said the staff has prepared an emergency ordinance regarding extension of this.moratorium as follows: 337 August ll, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 5-B.1 OF THE CODE OF ALBEMARLE DEALING WITH RESTRICTIONS ON THE ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN BUILDING PERMITS BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County as follows: (1) That Section 5-B.1 of the Code of Albemarle be, and it hereby is, amended as follows: section 5-.B.l. Rest~ric'~i'ons on issuance of certain permits~ No permit shall be issued for the construciton of any building within any area identified with reasonable specificity in the comprehensive plan ~.- .__ L_ for acquisition for public use for the period of two years from the delineation of such area on the plan, or amendment thereof, whichever shall be shorter; provided however, that no such permit shall be issued within the area so iden- tified in the plan for development of a public drinking water impoundment on Buck Mountain Creek shall be issued prior to October 10, 1982. The foregoing notwithstanding, the building official may issue such permit in order to prevent unnecessary hardship in the application of this section. The standards set forth in Section 15.1-495(b) shall apply to the determination of the existence of such hardship hereunder mutatis~mutandis. For purposes of this section, a building shall be deemed to be within the area herein specified if the building, the sewerage system or any part of either of~them shall~be located within the area so identified fOr acquisition. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to add to any rights which may be acquired in any property subsequent to the expiration of any period of reserva- tion set forth in the plan. (2) The Board of Supervisors hereby determining that an emergency exists, in accordance with Section 15.1-504 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, for foregoing amendment shall have effect immediately, but shall be enforced for not more than ~ixty days unless readopted in conformity with the notice pro- visions set'forth in such section. Mr. St. John said this proposed ordinance simply extends the present ordinance (a building permit moratorium in the area of Buck Mountain as presently shown in the Compre- hensive Plan) until October 10, 1982. Mr. Lindstrom asked if the area described in the Comprehensive plan IS the same as that presently being sought for the Buck Mountain project. Mr. William K~ Norris, Watershed Management Official, presented a detailed map of the proposed reservoir area. Mr. St. John said the Board should simply make this new map an adopted part of the comprehensive Plan as an emergency measure. Mr. Fisher said he felt the best way to handle the situation was to adopt this map as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan on an emergency' basis, then adopt the resolution as suggested by the County Attorney. Motion was then offered by Mr. Lindstrom to adopt the emergency amendment to the Comprehensive Plan showing as the Buck Mountain Reservoir the area on the map entitled "Buck Mountain wa~t~rshed Management Map, August ll, 1982", for acquisition or easement. He added for the record that the map shows the buffer area, the easement area, the easements along the tributary streams and the pool area. The motion was seconded by Mr. Butler. Roll was called and the motion carried by the fOllowing recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Mr. Fisher said the public hearing date to make the amendment permanent should be set at this time. Mr. Agnor noted that the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan must be heard by the Planning Commission first. Mr. Fisher suggested October 6, 1982, as the date for the Board's public hearing. Motion was immediately offered by Mr. Lindstrom, seconded by Miss Nash, to hold a public hearing on the above amendment to the Comprehensive. Plan on October 6, 1982, and to adopt the folIoWing resolution: THE Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, has this date amended the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan by the addition of a new map showing the area proposed for a water supply reservoir on Buck Mountain Creek. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Albemarle C~ounty Planning Commission is directed to hold a public hearing on this emergency amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and to return its recommendation to the Board before October 6, 1982, .the date scheduled by the Board for a public hearing on this amendment. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES' NAYS: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Miss Nash offered motion to adopt the ordinance offered by Mr. St.~ John entitled "An Ordinance to amend Section 5-3.1 of the Code of Albemarle dealing with Restrictions on the Issuance of Certain Building permits", but that the first sentence of the ordinance be amended to read "NO permit shall be issued for the construction of any building within any area identified with reasonable specificity in the Comprehensive Plan as amended for acquisition .... "and striking the words "shall be issued" after the words "Buck Mountain Creek". The Board members agreed with Miss Nash's suggestion. The motion was then seconded by Mr. Lindstrom and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Messrs. Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) 338 Mr. Fisher said a public hearing will have to be held within sixty days of this date or the ordinance will expire. Mr. St. John stated that this ordinance will be heard at the same hearing, in case this also needs to be extended. Mr. Fisher said he wished to emphasize his strong desire that this matter be resolved as soon as possible. He said the property owners in the Buck Mountain area need a final decision. (At 3:45 P.M., Mr. Henley left the meeting and did not returns) Agenda Item No. 12. Appointments. Mr. Fisher said he wished to nominate for consideration by the Board, the' name of Mr. L. Glyndon Morris, Jr., for appointment to the Youth Services Commission. Mr. Fisher said Mr. Morris is entering the tenth grade at Western Albemarle High School, with a straight "A" grade average, and he has expressed interest in serving on this commission. Motion was offered by Mr. Butler to appoint Mr. L. Glyndon Morris, Jr. to the Youth Services Commission for a term to begin immediately and end on February 1, 1984. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindstrom and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lindstrom and MiSs Nash. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Henley. Agenda Item No. 15. Other Matters Not On The Agenda. Mr. Fisher noted receipt of the following letter from Mr. James Morrisard, dated August 3, 1982, of General Electric Company in Charlottesville: "The purpose of this letter is to request that the Board of Supervisors for County of Albemarle opts for and passes an ordinance that grants property tax exemption to 'Certified Pollution Control Equipment in the County' - specifi- cally, Industrial Waste Treatment Facilities installed and operated by the General Electric Company on Route 29 North at Route 606. Section 58-16.3 of the Code of Virginia, 1959 (as amended 1972) states that certified pollution control equipment, as defined therein, is declared to be a separate class of property and constitutes a classification for local taxation separate from other such classification of real or personal property and such property. The governing body of any county, city or town may, by ordinance, exempt or partially exempt such property from local taxation. It is hereby requested that the County of Albemarle adopt such an ordinance exempting such facilities from real and property taxes. The C~mo~w~~a~%~i~inia State Water Control Board in a latter dated March 17, 1982, certified that the subject facility should be classified as 'Pollution Control Equipment and/or Facility'. A copy of the correspondence related to this certification is attached for yaur information." Mr. Fisher asked if the Board wished to have the staff review this request and make a recommendation to the Board. Motion was offered by Miss Nash, seconded by Mrs. Cooke, to have the staff review this request by General Electric Company,~ and bring a recommendation back to the Board as soon as possible. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Mr. Henley. Mr. Fisher noted receipt of a letter from Mr. Leonard Burnley, Chairman of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, commending the Board of Supervisors and the Char- lottesville City Council for their efforts to study consolidation. It was suggested in that letter that an analysis of various alternatives be made of how such possible con- solidation would affect other area local governments. It was noted in the letter that the Planning District Commission's staff would be available to help in such an analysis. Agenda Item No. 4.1. Discussion of the June 30, 1982, Financial Report. (Note: At 3:55 P.M., Mr. Lindstrom left the meeting.) Mr. Ray B. Jones was present, and summarized his memorandum.dated July 29, 1982, as follows: "Attached is a copy of the June 30, 1982, financial report. The County books for the fiscal year 1981-82 were held open through July 27 to account for all revenues and expenditures in the proper year. The auditors will accrue all revenues and expenditures after the above date in the annual report. The following comments are applicable to the various categories. REVENUES Property Taxes: There was a 2.3% over-collection of the estimated amount or $330,281. Generally the annual estimates were on target. Other Local Taxes: The over-collection in this category was 9.32% amounting to $522,386. Included in this category is the Utility License Tax which brought in $193,248 which was imposed through adoption of a new ordinance during FY 81-82 and not budgeted. Also, rate changes on Business and Professional Licenses increased net revenues from this source by approximately $240,000. However, local sales tax was over estimated by $76,465. The economic situation has affected this source significantly especially during the last quarter of the fiscal year. If this trend continues, local sales tax receipts in the current fiscal year will be far under the budgeted estimates. 339 August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meeting) Permits and Fees: This major category was the hardest hit of all categories. Only 61.6% of the estimate was reached. Recovered Costs: There were paybacks or refunds in recovered costs, i.e., Ivy Creek Natural Area, Health Department, etc. that produced $200,000 of revenue, most of which was not budgeted. The category of Local Revenue in General Fund revenues was $1,008,772 over- collected. However, this does not present the total revenue picture of the General Fund because there were shortfalls in some State sources. State Revenues of the General Fund: 1. Shared expenses were short by 7.25% of the estimate; shortfall of $83,137. shortfall of 25% or $304,046 due primarily to cut-backs in Social Service Programs. Net shortfall of State revenues for General Government amounted to $309,742. Appropriations from General Fund Balance: The combined total of special appro- priations through the year from the General Fund amounted to $429,115. The net result of the over-collections in local revenue, shortfalls in State revenues, and appropriations during the year, is $110,764. If you deduct the appropria- tions of $429,115, the General Fund over-collected $539,879. SCHOOL REVENUES State Revenues of the School Fund: There was a net shortfall of $260,331 primarily in State Sales Tax ($131,700), Special Education ($113,697), and Vocational Education ($29,521), from State sources. There were other over- collections to off-set these three shortfalls to create the net amount above. Federal Revenues of the School Fund: The Federal revenues were over-estimated '$'285,442 which was due to the cut-backs in the Federal Programs. Total: The combined shortfall in Revenue flowing directly to the School Operating Fund was $590,849. EXPENDITURES General Operations: There was a net unexpended balance in the forty-one various departments and functions in General Operations amounting to $718,086 or 2.85%. Of these, only three had over-expended balances which resulted from leaving the books open into July. School Operations: Of the twenty-five various functions in the Department of Education, the unexpended balance is $697,396. The three over-expenditures can be handled by transfers. Those transfers will be submitted to the School Board on August 9, and to the Board of Supervisors on August 11, along with a transfer request to cover those in General Operations. Of the unexpended balance, the largest amount ($285,109.35) was in Federal School Programs and energy related functions such as Pupil Transportation ($87,275.62) and Fixed Charges ($203,580). Also, I have sent a memorandum to Dr. Gutierrez on the School Fund Advance which was reduced by $248,806.61 from $1,036,141 to $790,339.39. SUMMARY The County ended the fiscal year in a strong financial position as had been predicted sometime ago in a report on funding the Capital Improvements Budget. However, there are several areas where caution should be exercised. Many of the unexpended balances came about by the cost of gasoline going from $1.I6 to $.86 during the year. However, the cost of gas rose back to $1.06 in the last ninety days of the fiscal year, an 18% increase. Electricity costs are expected to increase ten percent for the year beginning July 1, according to my conversation with representatives of the VAC0-VML and VEPCO negotiating team. The same prediction is true of natural gas costs. The State Deputy Secretary of Finance is predicting a five percent cutback in State funding from the original allocations for FY 82-83. This applies to categorical aid in Education and general government. If this occurs, there will be a shortfall in revenues for Education amounting to approximately $200,000 with an equal amount of shortfalls in the various state supported general government operations. From a local revenue standpoint, there is currently a 'leveling off' trend in sales taxes, business receipts, permit fees, etc. The revenue growth projected for these sources in FY 82-83 may not be reached because of the current state of the economy. These current circumstances are mentioned to make everyone involved aware of the fact that some areas where cost savings were experienced in FY 81-82 may not be there in FY 82-83." August 1i, 1982 (Regular DaY Meeting) (Note: At 4:05 P.M., Mr. Lindstrom~r~turned to the meeting.) "TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Dr. Carlos Gutierrez, Superintendent Ray B. Jones, Director of Finance School Fund Advance The fiscal year 1981-82 books were closed on July 27, 1982. Revenues and expenses 'known and measurable' were accounted for in the proper period with the exception of FICA costs on those eleventh and twelfth month salaries of ten-month contract employees. This was not accrued because it is not payable until August and September and also it would have meant showing thirteen months of costs for FICA in the same fiscal year. We did account for all salaries and fringe costs on the regular June payroll. Even though there were some shortfalls in Revenues and slight over-runs in three expenditure functions, the Department of Education operated in the 'black' to the extent of a $248,801.61 reduction of the advance to the School Fund from the General Fund. The School Fund advance of $1,039,141 for fiscal year 1981-82 was reduced to $790,339.39. Additional accruals by the Auditors may change this figure slightly but I do not think there will be a~significant change. I have discussed with Dr. Barton the need to make transfers for over-runs in the following functions: 17A Administration $ 2,288.09 17C1 Attendance & Health Services 1,271.93 17F2 Fixed Charges 26~850.95 $30,410.97 Dr. Barton plans to bring this before the School Board on August 9 as a transfer from another function which had adequate unexpended balance on June 30, 1982, such as 17D1, Pupil Transportation ($87,275.68) or 17Fl', Operation of School Plant ($78,514.02). He plans to request approval by the School Board on August 9 and I will follow up with a request to the Board of Supervisors on August 11." Mr. Jones said this report is based on figures through June 27, and that these figures will also be accrued by the audit process. Mr. Jones said normally there is not a signi- ficant moving of figures during the 45 day accrual period. Mr. Jones then noted that gasoline costs have increased by 18%, electricity increased by 10%, and natural gas has also increased. These utility increases, along with the predicted 5% cutback by the State for education will create added problems in the coming fiscal year. Mr. Fisher asked if an official communication has been given to the School Board about the 5% cutback. Mr. Jones said Dr. Gutierrez has been notified. Mr. Fisher recom- mended that the School Board be notified directly. Lastly, Mr. Jones stressed that the figures he has presented are subject to change by the audit and are not yet considered firm. Agenda Item No. 4.1. Reappropriations. Mr. Jones said this request results from a program or project not being completed within the fiscal year in which the funds were initially appropriated. Motion was offered by Miss Nash to adopt the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia,. that $6,220.24 be, and the same hereby is, reappropriated from the General Fund as follows: 1101-3002.06 1101-3002.09 8101-3006 9103.1-5627 Central Police Dispatching Study Risk Management Insurance Study Binding of Records Visitor's Bureau $ 87.00 3,000.00 1,700.00 1~433.24 $6,220.24 The motion was seconded by Mr. Lindstrom and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Mr. Fisher, Mr.-Lindstrom and Miss Nash.

REVENUE 9302-9999.99 Unallocated Fund Balance (Proceeds of Grants) $157,115.53 EXPENDITURES 9302-5843 9302-5842 9302-3011 9302-5847 9302-5855 Albemarle Housing Improvement Program Solid Waste Driver Training Community Diversion Program Protective Services (Juvenile Court) $ 16,540.73 1,816.86 2,425.94 135,400.00 932.00 $157,115.53 For FY 82-83, the budget did not include anticipated grants. It was decided to add them upon final allocation and approval due to the uncertainty of Block Grants earlier this year. The money has been received for AHIP and Solid Waste. Official notice of approval on Community Diversion and Protective Services has been received by the County." Motion was then offered by Mrs. Cooke, seconded by Miss Nash, to set September 15, 1982, as the date of public hearing, and that the above appropriation requests be properly advertised for that hearing. Roll was then called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lindstrom and Miss Nash. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Henley. Mr. Jones requested the Board of Supervisors to advertise the following budget amend- ment for public hearing to be held on September 15, 1982, as shown in his memorandum dated August 5, 1982, as follows: "Funds have been received in the amount of $4,079 for the Charlottesville Albemarle Clean Community Commission Grant. You are hereby requested to advertise the following for public hearing and authorize the appropriation. REVENUE 102404.070 Charlottesville Albemarle Clean Community Commission $4,079.00 EXPENDITURE 9302-5840 Charlottesville Albemarle Clean Community Commission $4,079.00" Motion was offered by Mrs. Cooke, seconded by Mr. Butler, to set September 15, 1982, as the date of public hearing, and that the above appropriation request be properly advertised for that hearing. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Mr. Henley. Mr. Jones next presented the following memorandum dated August 4, 1982, for the Board's information: "Block Grants for Juvenile Court Service Units and Sheriff's Allocation for Former Division of Motor Vehicle Services Notice was received dated May 26, 1982, of a Block Grant in the amount of $932 for the fiscal year 82-83 to provide Protective Service for juveniles through the Juvenile Court. These programs include various services ordered by the Court such as psychoanalysis, psychiatric analysis for juveniles. In previous years, these services were ordered by the Juvenile Court and the State of Virginia paid the bill. August 11, 1982 (Regular Day Meetin~g) Ms. Cookie Scott at the Juvenile Court has said that the 1981-82 annual cost amounted to only $960. In her words, "the $932 annual allocation will only cover one Juvenile". As of this date, we have received the first quarter's allocation in the amount of $233. The question is: when the Court orders Ms. Scott to provide these services, if the cost is in excess of the State Funding, who is liable to pick up the excess costs. No funds were appropriated in the County Budget for this purpose. ~ In the case of another action by the General Assembly, the Sheriff was allocated $3,600 by the Compensation Board for the entire year for part-time help. The Sheriff was allocated $3.00 for regular service and $12.50 for surrender of license for the Division of Motor Vehicles. Last year this work was done by a DMV Marshall and probably cost the State $30,000 or more in Albemarle County alone for one person's salary, fringe costs, uniforms, vehicle, etc. I notice in the newspapers that Fairfax County's Sheriff is taking legal action on this matter. In many instances, a deputy will have to make several trips. Three dollars will not cover one-fourth hour's salary not to mention the cost of travel, fringes, etc. During July, the Sheriff was requested by DMV as summons to pick up twenty-three licenses. About one-half or more of the DMV summons have incorrect addresses and are returned to DMV with a lot of effort resulting in no final action. I bring these two examples to your attention to point out how the General Assembly has recently~gotten credit for "support of locally-operated pro- grams" whereas in the end, it has been used as a tool to pass on some of the former costs of State Government to the localities." Agenda Item No. 15. Other Matters Not On The Agenda. following letter dated July 21, 1982: Mr. Fisher noted receipt of the "On Tuesday, July 13, 1982, Chris Hicks, a thirteen year old resident of Camelot Subdivision drowned while rafting in the Rivanna River, just south of our subdivision. Although Chris was a good swimmer, the undertow caused by water falling over the dam pulled him under resulting in his drowning. There are no signs in the area to warn of the very dangerous conditions. Several years ago the area below the dam was dredged, leaving the deep hole at the foot of the dam with the dangerous undertow.~ The residents of Camelot Subdivision ask that an investigation be made to determine what can be done to correct this matter." Mr. Fisher asked if the Board has any recommendationS concerning this letter. Mr. Agnor said he would recommend forwarding a copy of this letter to the staff for study and recommendation at a later date. Mr. Fisher noted receipt of the following memorandum dated August 11, 1982, from Robert W. Tucker, Jr., Director of Planning, regarding a Housing Rehabilitation Study: "The Department of Planning, in cooperation with the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program, will be conducting a sample housing and income survey in several areas of the County during the next two weeks. The information is needed in order to apply for a Community Development Block Grant - Housing Rehabilitation Program from the State. Localities across the State that are applying for these funds will be conducting similar surveys in the next few weeks, as U.S. Census infor- mation will unfortunately not be available until the winter of 1982. The survey will be a sample type and will consist of only three or four questions. If you or any residents in your district have any questions concerning the survey, please give me or Keith Mabe a call. We are informing various organizations and churches in the areas to assist in the participation." Mr. Fisher said he hoped that when requests were made for specific salary figures, that the citizens understand that such answers are voluntary and confidential, Mr. Agnor presented a letter dated July 6, 1982, from the State Water Control Board regarding a public hearing to be held on August 31, 1982, at 9:00 A.M., in the Executive Motor Inn, 5215 West Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia. This public hearing regards the administering of Federal Grant funds for financial assistance in the construction of municipal wastewater treatment works. Mr. Agnor noted that the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority's Crozet Interceptor line is listed as number nine on this priority list. Mr. Agnor said he has gotten a summary of statutes from Mr. Roger Wiley, City Attorney for Charlottesville, regarding mergers, for the Consolidation Committee. 343. Aug~_ust 11, 1982 ~Regular Da~ Meetin~ Miss Nash said she has received telephone calls from citizens complaining about a Garage on Route 53 which is presently operating under a court order. Mr. Agnor said the Inspections Department makes regular inspections of this site and if the operation is found in violation again, the problem will be brought back to court. Agenda Item No. 16. At 4:59 P.M., motion was offered by Miss Nash, seconded by Mrs. Cooke, to adjourn to 2:00 P.M., on September 1, 1982. Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Cooke, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lindstrom and Miss Nash. None. Mr. Henley. Chairman
