Mr. Don Nidiffer submitted petitions signed by 228 people from throughout Albemarle County asking that the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle close and cleanup the Ivy Landfill. _______________ Agenda Item No. 5. Consent Agenda. Motion was offered by Ms. Humphris to approve Item 5.1 with the changes mentioned, to approve Items 5.2 through 5.5, and the accept the other items on the Consent Agenda for information (Note: Conversation concerning the individual items will be shown as part of that item). The motion was seconded by Mr. Martin. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Martin, Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas and Ms. Humphris. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Bowerman and Mr. Dorrier. __________ Item 5.1. SP-2000-64. Weber (Triton PCS) (deferred from April 18, 2001). It was noted in the staffs report that on February 14, 2001, the Board held a public hearing on this = application and requested that Triton PCS explore alternatives regarding the ground equipment for a communication facility to mitigate its visual impact from Route 708. The visual impact of the tower base and ground equipment was the primary reason staff recommended disapproval of the application. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the application. On April 4, 2001, the Board deferred action on the proposed revisions to the conditions of approval, due to the timing of the submittal. On April 20, 2001, staff provided the Board with an executive summary setting out revised conditions of approval reflecting the changes discussed at the April 4 meeting. The applicant has requested that Condition No. 11 be eliminated since the proposed shed would shield the ground equipment view. Also, staff recognized that Condition No. 12 (old Condition No. 13) should reflect a change in the proposed size of the storage building from 20' by 19' to 12' by 14'6". Staff finds these changes acceptable. (Mr. Cilimberg asked if the Board members had received a copy of his last E-mail communication which contained the conditions which the Board should approve tonight. Ms. Humphris said when the Board approves the Consent Agenda they will be approving the changes in Mr. Cilimbergs E-mail message = of April 24 which eliminates Condition No. 11 of SP-2000-64, and changes the dimensions in what now becomes Condition No. 12 from 20' by 19' shelter to 12' by 14'6" shelter. Mr. Cilimberg said that is correct.) By the recorded vote set out above, the Board approved SP-2000-64 subject to the following 13 conditions: 1.The top of the pole, as measured Above Sea Level (ASL), shall never exceed seven (7) feet above the top of the tallest tree within twenty-five (25) feet of the facility, as measured Above Sea Level (ASL). No antennas or equipment, with the exception of the grounding rod, shall be located above the top of the pole; 2.The pole shall be designed, constructed and maintained as follows: a.The pole shall be a metal pole, dark brown in color; b.Guy wires shall not be permitted; c.No lighting shall be permitted on the site or on the pole, except as provided by Condition Number Nine (9) herein; d.The ground equipment cabinets, antenna, and all equipment attached to the pole shall be dark brown in color and shall be no larger than the specifications as shown on the attached plan entitled "Weber Property April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 2) Triton PCS" dated (revised) 4/06/01; e.A grounding rod, not exceeding two (2) feet above the top of the pole, and with a width not to exceed one (1)-inch diameter at the base and tapering to a point, may be installed at the top of the pole; f.Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide a statement to the Planning Department by a licensed surveyor certifying the height of the tallest tree, as identified in Condition Number One (1); g.Within one (1) month after the completion of the pole, the applicant shall provide a statement to the Planning Department certifying the height of the pole, measured both in feet above ground and also measured Above Sea Level (ASL); h.The pole can never extend above the top of the tallest tree, except as described in Condition Number One (1) of these conditions of approval, without prior approval of an amendment to this special use permit; 3.The pole shall be located as follows: a.The pole shall be located on the site as shown on the attached plan entitled "Weber Property Triton PCS" and dated (revised) 4/06/01; and b.The proposed facility shall be located not more than twenty-five (25) feet from the existing access road; 4.Antennas shall be attached to the pole only as follows: a.Antennas shall be limited to those shown on the attached plan entitled "Weber Property Triton PCS" and dated (revised) 4/06/01; b.No satellite or microwave dishes shall be permitted on the pole; and c.Only flush mounted antennas shall be permitted. No antennas that project out from the pole beyond the minimum required by the support structure, shall be permitted. However, in no case shall the antennas project out from the pole more than twelve (12) inches; 5.Prior to beginning construction or installation of the pole or the equipment cabinets, or installation of access for vehicles or utilities, a tree conservation plan, developed by a certified arborist, specifying tree protection methods and procedures and identifying any existing trees to be removed on the site both inside and outside the access easement and lease area shall be submitted to the Director of Planning and Community Development for approval. All construction or installations associated with the pole and equipment building, including necessary access for construction or installation, shall be in accordance with this tree conservation plan. Except for the tree removal expressly authorized by the Director of Planning and Community Development, the permittee shall not remove existing trees within two hundred (200) feet of the pole and equipment building. A special use permit amendment shall be required for any future tree removal within the two hundred (200)-foot buffer, after the installation of the subject facility; 6.The pole shall be disassembled and removed from the site within ninety (90) days of the date its use for wireless telecommunications purposes is discontinued; 7.The permittee shall submit a report to the Zoning Administrator one (1) time per year, no later than July 1 of that year. The report shall identify each user of the pole and certify that the height of the pole is in compliance with Condition Number One (1); 8.No slopes associated with construction of the pole and accessory uses shall be created that are steeper than 2:1 unless retaining walls, revetments, or other stabilization measures acceptable to the County Engineer are employed; 9.Outdoor lighting shall be limited to periods of maintenance only. Each outdoor luminary shall be fully shielded such that all light emitted is projected below a horizontal plane running though the lowest part of the shield or shielding part of the luminaries. For purposes of this condition, a luminary is a complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp or lamps together with the parts designed to distribute the light, to position and protect the lamps, and to connect the lamps to the power supply; 10.The permittee shall comply with Section 5.1.12 of the Zoning Ordinance. A fence surrounding the lease area is not a requirement of this approval; however, should a fence be installed, the materials and height shall be restricted as follows: a.The fence shall be constructed with barbed wire to match the existing fence adjacent to the subject lease area; 11.A landscaping plan depicting screening landscaping along Route 708 shall be required. A landscaping plan shall be approved by the Director of Planning and Community Development or his designee prior to the issuance of building April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 3) permits; 12.A 12' by 14'6" shelter constructed of unpainted rough sawn wood shall be constructed around the ground equipment, as shown on the plans titled "Weber Property Triton PCS" and dated (revised) 4/06/01; and 13.The entrance gate from Route 708 to the site, as located on the plans titled "Weber Property Triton PCS" and dated (revised) 4/06/01, shall be replaced with a solid gate constructed of unpainted rough sawn wood. __________ Item 5.2. Set public hearing for May 9, 2001, on request to amend the jurisdictional (service) areas of the Albemarle County Service Authority for water and sewer service to Tax Map 62, Parcel 24A (Roy L. Williams). It was noted in the staffs report that the applicant is requesting service area designation for water = service to a parcel (Tax Map 62, Parcel 24A) due to contamination of the existing well on-site. The parcel is located on the west side of Route 20 North and the east side of Dorrier Drive, just north of Darden Towe Park, and is located within Urban Area Three (Pantops). As a general policy, staff has advised that public utility capacity should be reserved to support development of designated Development Areas. Since this property is located within the designated Development Areas, the provision of both water and sewer service to the property would be consistent with the Public Utility Policy in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends proceeding to public hearing to consider water and sewer service to the parcel listed above. (Ms. Humphris said David Benish is supposed to let her know why this well is contaminated. She would also like to know why the request has to go through the public hearing process since the property is eligible for inclusion. Mr. Cilimberg said this is the process required when a property is not located within a designated service area.) By the recorded vote set out above, the Board ordered a public hearing on this request for May 9, 2001. __________ Item 5.3. Appropriation: Community Development Block Grant 00-25 (Whitewood Village project), $25,000 (Form #20064). It was noted in the staffs report that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, = through the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, approved a $25,000.000 planning grant for the Whitewood Village Project. The grant is totally funded by a Federal Community Development Block grant, and there is no local match required. By the recorded vote set out above, the Board adopted the following Resolution of Appropriation: APPROPRIATION REQUEST FISCAL YEAR: 2000-01 NUMBER: 20064 FUND: GRANT PURPOSE OF APPROPRIATION: WHITEWOOD VILLAGE PLANNING GRANT EXPENDITURE CODEDESCRIPTIONAMOUNT 1 1221 81030 563100 AHIP$25,000.00 TOTAL$25,000.00 REVENUE CODEDESCRIPTIONAMOUNT 2 1221 33000 330009 CDBH-HUD$25,000.00 TOTAL$25,000.00 __________ Item 5.4. Request by Lane Babe Ruth Baseball League to rename the Lane Baseball Field. It was noted in the staffs report that the Lane Babe Ruth League has been responsible for the = capital improvements and maintenance of the County-owned Lane Field since Lane High School closed in the mid-1970s. Mr. Darrell Gardner has been involved in youth baseball in the community for nearly 50 years. For the past 15 years, he has spent countless hours maintaining and organizing various improve- ment projects for Lane Field. The League has recently obtained funding to replace the scoreboard and would like to rename the field in conjunction with this. In recognition of Mr. Gardners commitment to the = youth of this area and to baseball, the League proposes that the field be renamed Darrell C. Gardner Field A at Lane Park. The Countys Parks and Recreation Department endorses and joins with this request. @= April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 4) (Ms. Humphris said this request tugged at her heart. She is probably one of the few people left who know this as the Lane Baseball Field, one of the last remanents of Lane High School. She said the rationale given is certainly a good reason for doing it.) By the recorded vote set out above, the Board approved renaming the County-owned Lane Baseball Field as the "Darrell C. Gardner Field at Lane Park". __________ Item 5.5. Appointment of Jack Kelsey as Interim Director of Engineering and Public Works. It was noted in the staffs report that Mr. Bill Mawyer, Director of Engineering and Public Works, has = submitted a letter of resignation and is scheduled to leave County employment on April 24. Due to the vacancy, it is necessary to appoint an interim Director. Staff recommends that Mr. Jack Kelsey, the Countys current Chief of Engineering be appointed as the interim director. = By the recorded vote set out above, Mr. Jack Kelsey was appointed Interim Director of Engineering and Public Works until the vacancy is filled. __________ Item 5.6. Copy of letter dated April 11, 2001, from Mr. John Shepherd, Manager of Zoning Administration, to Mr. Douglas E. Little, re: Official Determination of Development Rights and Parcels - Tax Map 41, Parcels 39A, 39B and 39D (property of MLB Land Trust, Douglas E. Little, Trustee) - Section 10.31, was received as information. __________ Item 5.7. Copy of notice of public hearing on application of Ennstone, Inc., for proposed Revenue Bond Financing by Virginia Small Business Financing Authority, was received for information. (Ms. Humphris asked if this concrete processing plant, located on two acres of land at the Northside Industrial Park, is a by-right use or is it something that will need a special use permit in the future. Mr. Martin said that basically the applicants are preparing all of the things they need before coming to the Planning Commission and the Board. They did not realize that this loan approval would be announced in this way.) __________ Item 5.8. Copy of resolution adopted by the Albemarle County Service Authority Board of Directors setting out all proposed rates and fees of the Albemarle County Service Authority, was received for information. _______________ Not Docketed: Ms. Thomas said she would like to deviate from the printed agenda for a moment. She said she represented the Board at the Salvation Army Dinner recently. A County school won the Golden Can award. This was a reward for a large public school. In this case it was Jack Jouett Middle A@ School, which had collected 3,285 cans of food for a food drive. Ms. Chris Thomas was present to accept the award for the school. _______________ (Note: Agenda Items 6 and 7 were heard concurrently.) Agenda Item No. 6. SP-2000-34. Spring Hill (Signs #38 & 39). Public Hearing on a request to allow amendment of earlier SUPs for the purpose of dividing the residue of Spring Hill Farm into one 102 ac lot w/340 ac residue & to create a stream crossing in accord w/Secs 10.2.2.30 & 30.3.05.2.1.2 of the Zoning Ord. TM 58, P 95, contains 442.656 acs. Located on Dick Woods Rd (Rt 637) at the intersec w/Rt 677. Znd RA. Samuel Miller Dist. (This public hearing was advertised in the Daily Progress on April 9 and April 16, 2001.) __________ Agenda Item No. 7. SP-2000-38. Spring Hill (Signs #61, 63 & 64). Public Hearing on a request to allow new stream crossing to be created in accord w/Sec 30.3.05.2.1.2 of the Zoning Ord. TM 58, P 95, contains 442.656 acs. Located on Dick Woods Rd (Rt 637) approx at its intersec w/Rt 677. Znd RA. Samuel Miller Dist. (This public hearing was advertised in the Daily Progress on April 9 and April 16, 2001.) Mr. Cilimberg said the proposal by Blue Springs Land Corporation, is to both divide the existing residue of Spring Hill Farm to create a 102-acre residential lot with the remaining 340 acres being in a second residue parcel. The farm was originally divided in the early 1980s by two special use permits. With those approvals, there was a condition that no further subdivision of the residue could occur without amendment to the existing permit. There is also a proposal in conjunction with this to construct a driveway and bridge over Ivy Creek at or near the intersection of Routes 637 and 677. Mr. Cilimberg said the applicant has offered to protect Ivy Creek, which crosses the proposed 102- acre parcel, and other streams on the parcel with 100-foot riparian buffer easements, and to accept a condition preventing any further division of the new 102-acre parcel. The stream crossing would be used for access to the residential parcel that would be created by SP-2000-34. Mr. Cilimberg said in the Open Space and Critical Resources Plan of the Comprehensive Plan, April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 5) staff identified Ivy Creek as an important stream valley. Spring Hill Farm was divided in 1981. Some portions of the property were in the former Ivy Village development area, and the division consisted of 33 residential parcels and a residue of approximately 480 acres. That residue has been diminished through transactions which allowed parts of the original residue to be combined with adjacent property. The two parcels which originally comprised Spring Hill had a total of 41 lots available for division. At the time of adoption of the 1980 Zoning Ordinance, those two parcels had ten development right lots, and then another 31 twenty-one or greater lots. Thirty-three of those rights were used for the small lots, plus the residue was the 34th lot. Out of the 41, there are actually seven rights for 21-acre or greater parcels left, but those rights can only be exercised through amendment to the special use permit, which is the request before the Board tonight. Mr. Cilimberg said staff noted factors favorable to the request: the proposed parcel is significantly larger than the Countys minimum by-right lots in the rural areas; soil impacts can be reduced through = permit conditions that reduce the area of development; and, stream buffer easements will provide additional long-term protection for streams in the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir watershed. Factors unfavorable include: parcels of this size are increasingly rare in the County; any division diminishes the parcels natural resource value and economic potential for forestry; and, residential development on the = parcel will impact highly productive and, in some cases, erodible soils. Regarding the stream crossing (SP-2000-38), Mr. Cilimberg said staff identified the following factors which are favorable to the request: the new driveway location will have a greater sight distance along Route 637 than the existing farm entrance, so will be safer for the parcels owners and drivers on = Route 637; and, closing the existing farm entrance will eliminate off-road traffic near a documented historic site. Factors unfavorable to this request are: construction of the bridge and driveway will impact the stream and stream buffers. Conditions have been included on both permits intended to minimize those impacts. Mr. Cilimberg said neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Zoning Ordinance provide justification for approval of large residential estates when the development is not a by-right use. When the County has an opportunity to prevent the fragmentation of large rural parcels, it attempts to do so. However, there are practical matters to consider in this case. First, the proposed new parcel is nearly five times larger than the 21-acre minimum by-right parcel size now permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. This development would have significantly less impact than the additional seven or eight houses that might have been built if the applicant had used all available development rights in 1981. Both the new parcel, and the 340 plus-acre residue would be large enough to sustain agricultural and forestal uses. Given these factors, staff recommended approval of both SP-2000-34 and SP-2000-38, subject to a number of conditions imperative to mitigating the projects impacts. = Mr. Cilimberg said the Planning Commission, at its meeting on March 27, 2001, unanimously recommended approval of both petitions, subject to conditions. For SP-2000-34, the Commission did make some modifications to reflect a change given to them regarding Condition No. 1 which originally read: No A further division of the new parcel allowed by this permit or of the residue of Parcel 58-95 shall be permitted. Condition No. 1 is recommended to the Board reading: No further division of the proposed @A 102-acre parcel allowed by this special use permit shall be permitted. No further division of the residue of Parcel 58-95 shall be permitted without an amendment to SP-81-01 and SP-81-55. @ Mr. Cilimberg said in the case of Condition No. 5, the wording has been revised since the Planning Commission meeting and is reflected in the executive summary sent to the Board for this meeting. The Engineering Department has notified the Planning Department that the Thomas Jefferson Soil & Water Conservation District may not necessarily be able or willing to hold these easements. If the applicant cannot find someone to hold the easements, he will need to provide written evidence from the entities contacted declining the easements, and then the condition would be null and void. Mr. Cilimberg said Condition No. 7 was also modified by the Planning Commission to add the word horticulture in the last sentence. Condition No. 8 recommended by staff was removed by the A@ Commission. These requests come to the Board with a recommendation for approval with seven conditions for SP-2000-34 and four conditions for SP-2000-38. With no questions for staff at this time, the public hearing was opened. Mr. Ethan Miller said he and his wife own Blue Springs Land Corporation, which is the applicant tonight. Spring Hill Farm was obtained by his wifes grandmother in 1980. Using a map he pointed out the = boundaries of the property. It was 695 acres at the time. In 1981, the Spring Hill subdivision was presented. (Note: Mr. Dorrier arrived at the meeting at 7:21 p.m.) There is a problem which the Board dealt with in 1981, and will have to deal with again tonight. A portion of the property was located in the Rural Areas and a portion in the Ivy Village. (He handed out a map showing the Village boundary.) He said the issue he will raise tonight is whether the Board should look at this as a by-right subdivision or as a special permit use. The piece of property to be divided tonight (the 102 acres), was in 1981 in the Rural Areas. Had this been divided then, as well as under the current rules, it would be a by-right division. He does not know how this Board will deal with the procedural issue the Board dealt with 20 years ago, and he does agree it is somewhat confusing. Mr. Miller said the original subdivision of 33 lots contained 170 acres. There were also some buffer areas around the property which were intended to protect the stream with some agricultural land in the middle of the property. An attempt was made to preserve the old farm which is now in common ownership (about 60 acres which is fenced). What is left today is 342 acres with other land in lots, the original farm or buffer. He has divided the remaining acreage into three parcels. Parcel A is 102 acres. Parcel C has 120 acres which is very steep land and its access is from Route 679. Then the piece in the middle has been April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 6) designated as Parcel B and contains 134 acres which can be accessed by the existing subdivision roads, and which, under the original Spring Hill Master Plan, was intended to be further divided. What is before the Board tonight is only to divide off a piece of property. Mr. Miller said the issue of the development rights is an issue of disagreement between the applicant and the Planning staff as to exactly how many development rights are on the property. The method of counting that Mr. Cilimberg presented tonight is a traditional method which the staff has used, but it ignores the fact that the division rights under the ordinance only relate to the Rural Areas. It does not relate to property in the Ivy Village. A portion of this property was in the Village in 1981. The issue is what to do with parcels in the village. How are they to be counted when looking at the numbers of lots? However, that is not before the Board tonight. Mr. Miller said he wrote a letter concerning the conditions and is asking for relief from three of the conditions on SP-2000-34 and also asks for relief from one condition on SP-2000-38. The relief he seeks is that there not be riparian buffer easements imposed on streams not located on the new 102-acre parcel. Secondly, the Planning Commission is limiting the building on the new parcel to only one home site. He thinks that since the 102-acre parcel was in the Rural Areas, the Board should not impose a limitation that would not be imposed on a by-right division on a 102-acre parcel elsewhere. He believes Condition No. 7 to be unenforceable and confusing. The issue of why one is clearing land, for forestry or agriculture, is difficult to figure out. Mr. Miller said that one of the requirements for SP-2000-38 is that the original farm entrance be closed. He said they will put a new entrance at the intersection of Routes 667 and 637. They will give sight easements to VDOT to improve the safety of the public on Route 637. There is now a little farm road in that area which is gated. It would be a convenient place to take tractors, hay equipment, etc. that does not go across their bridge or their entrance. It is a fairly innocuous entrance which is approximately 875 feet from what will be the main entrance. Ms. Thomas asked Mr. Miller to point out the farm entrance and the new entrance on the map. She asked if the farm entrance takes a road across the creek. Mr. Miller said no. There is a small A@ tributary to Ivy Creek and there is an existing culvert in that tributary which is no more than a trickle. It does not impact the more significant Ivy Creek. It has been there for as long as anyone can remember. Mr. Perkins said there was a mention of an historic mill at the farm entrance. Mr. Miller said there is not much left of the mill. It is hard to know exactly where it is. He does not think that will impact having the existing entrance stay open. Mr. Perkins asked why the old entrance would not serve the same purpose as a new entrance. Mr. Miller said it is an old farm entrance and is not in the right location for a building site. The new entrance will be safer for the traffic which will use it. With no one else from the public rising to speak, the public hearing was closed, and the matter placed before the Board. Mr. Martin asked for some clarification as to Condition No. 5. He believes the newest language answers the questions Mr. Miller raised. Mr. Cilimberg said there are two pieces to No. 5 in terms of what it covers. The easement itself is noted as extending 100 feet from each bank, and that the easement shall be placed on all streams on the existing parcel which contains more than 400 acres. The tree planting plan to be approved by Planning and Engineering and executed along Ivy Creek where the buffer is less than 100 feet from each bank would be for that portion of the stream located on the 102-acre parcel. Mr. Martin said the sentence that was added still does not address what Mr. Miller mentioned. Mr. Cilimberg said that is correct. Staff and the Commission felt that all of this is about granting something that does not exist now. One of the notations picked up from 1981 was that future review of an amendment to the permit should be under the Rural Areas provisions in place. This is balancing between adding the possibility for new parcel and building site, with those things which are important to the Rural Areas. In this location, one of the more important elements is stream protection because the property lies in the drinking water reservoir watershed. Ms. Thomas said she asked staff the difference between the Countys ordinance which says you = cant disturb 100 feet on either side of the stream, and what a riparian easement would do. The answer = she got was that an easement would actually have a plan that went along with it that would require the planting of trees. This would be an arrangement made with whoever is holding the easement, rather than with the County, but it would require that something be done to actively protect the stream. Whereas, the Countys Ordinance protects large trees, would keep one from disturbing the buffer, but it would not have a = tree planting plan as part of it. She thinks tree planting is very necessary along Ivy Creek. The applicant has proposed that there be a riparian easement along Ivy Creek and others on this 102 acres. She is not certain about the need for the riparian easement on the rest of the property since, in theory, it is not a house site; it might be used for forestry activity in which case the Countys Ordinance would protect the buffer from = being disturbed. Mr. Cilimberg said he is not totally familiar with the Water Resource Protection Ordinance. He does not know the extent to which the buffer provisions apply to tributary streams. Mr. Kamptner said the greatest protection offered by the Water Resources Ordinance exists in the water supply protection area, and also when there is a perennial stream. He is not sure Parcel C has a perennial stream. April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 7) Mr. Cilimberg said Ivy Creek is a perennial stream, but this condition covers all of the tributaries also. He does not know the extent to which all of those tributaries are covered under the Water Resources Ordinance. He said this was actually a condition arrived at in consultation with the Water Resources Manager. It was that office which let Planning know the easement may not be taken by the Soil & Water Conservation District. He said staff was looking for the most reasonable trade-off that covered the residue property in total. Right now, there is nothing specifically in the form of easements. Staff is relying on the Water Resources Manager to advise them in this matter. Mr. Dorrier asked if this is necessary because there is a building on the property. Mr. Cilimberg said the easements start in the general area where the house site would be, but they would cover throughout the property. Ms. Thomas said the easements are very important where there might be a house because they restrict putting a lawn straight down to a creek. Things have to be put in a buffer area which actively act as a buffer. She thinks it is a good idea on the 102-acre part. The question is about the other 300 acres that are possibly going to be forested. Ms. Humphris asked if the residue parcel were to be forested, would the Countys Water Protection = Ordinance naturally provide for that 100-foot buffer or is a legal easement needed to protect it from a forestry operation? Mr. Kamptner said the applicant would need to have a permit issued by the Department of Forestry which would deal with some of the water quality issues. Mr. Perkins said the Department of Forestry does not issue permits. It has to be done according to their guidelines, but there is not a permit issuing process. He can see requiring a buffer on Ivy Creek. As to the small tributaries, he asked if there is a map that shows those. How many streams are being talked about? Mr. Miller said he had indicated the location of the streams on his map and proceeded to point out those locations. Mr. Perkins said those are buffered by the railroad track. Mr. Miller said they are actually where the Crozet Interceptor is located. Mr. Cilimberg noted the location as being near Little Ivy Creek. Ms. Thomas said two of those tributaries are in the existing subdivision. Mr. Miller said yes. A@ Mr. Perkins asked about requiring buffers where there are flood plains. He said there are flood plains along Ivy Creek and Little Ivy Creek. The small tributaries are probably intermittent streams, at best. Mr. Martin said he was thinking that this requirement should be limited to the 102-acre parcel. Ms. Humphris said that is why she asked the question, do the streams on the residue parcel get protected in the event of forestry? Mr. Martin said they would be protected no more, or no less than they currently are protected, while the streams on the 102-acres will get a much higher level of protection. He assumes that if Mr. Miller decides to do something with the other parts of the property, there would be a requirement to have an easement on those streams as well, unless he does forestry. Ms. Humphris said that is the point. Based on what the Planning Commission thought it was doing, are residue parcel streams being left unprotected without the buffer? The Commission intended it to be that way in the event of a forestry operation. She understands that if Mr. Miller had to apply for another special use permit, conditions could be placed on the property at that time. She is concerned about what would happen if the Board does not do what the Planning Commission and the staff recommended. Mr. Cilimberg said there is the potential on the residue parcel to have another house site. Ms. Thomas asked if they could build a house without coming back for another approval. Mr. Cilimberg said yes. Mr. Kamptner said the Water Protection Ordinance may apply to forestry activities. A@ Generally, harvesting of forest crops is exempted unless the area in which the harvesting occurs is reforested, artificially or naturally, in accordance with certain provisions of the Virginia Code. Depending on how the parcel is forested, it may or may not be subject to the Water Protection Ordinance. In the areas listed in the Water Protection Ordinance, the 100-foot buffer applies also to intermittent streams, not just perennial streams. Mr. Dorrier said he is trying to visualize the threat. He is having trouble seeing the threat, and asked if the forestry possibility is a threat to the stream. Ms. Thomas said it could be a house lawn which goes right down to the stream. Mr. Dorrier said it is then non-point source run-off. Ms. Thomas said she tends to think the Board could just put Condition No. 5 on the new parcel where there is going to be a house. Mr. Martin said that is also how he feels. Ms. Humphris asked if the Board is to trust the ordinance. Ms. Thomas and Mr. Martin said yes. A@ Ms. Thomas said if the condition is not on the new parcel, the condition would read Riparian buffer A easement 100 feet from each bank placed on all streams on the new parcel, including a tree planting plan, to be approved by the Planning and Engineering Departments, executed along Ivy Creek where existing riparian buffers extend less than 100 feet from each bank. She asked if that makes sense to counsel. The @ new underlined words could be dropped from the condition. Mr. Cilimberg said that was to apply only to Ivy Creek where it was less than 100 feet. He suggested saying Riparian buffer easements extending at least A 100 feet from each bank shall be placed on all streams on the new 102-acre parcel. @ Mr. Kamptner said the Planning Commission did not get into it, but does the Board want to consider what it would like to have as part of the easement provisions? Ms. Thomas said it requires a tree planting plan. She said Mr. David Hirschman described it to her and said an easement would most likely have a tree April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 8) planting plan, but this makes it explicit that it include such a plan. Mr. Kamptner said it should include a requirement that there be no disturbance of the existing vegetation. Mr. Perkins said considering some of the sessions the Board has had recently, there is a question of what is a stream? If he were the applicant, he would want some definition. Ms. Thomas said she also A@ asked Mr. David Hirschman that question. The Engineering Department has a process they go through to make that determination. Since the property lies in the watershed, they will identify all of the streams and use field judgment in addition to what is on the GIS. Mr. Cilimberg said they look at these streams which are in the watershed differently from streams outside of the watershed. Ms. Thomas said she thinks the applicant has a good point about the limiting of building to home site number one. She also thought staff had a good argument because it is on the less good soils on the parcel. As long as there are good buffers and easements along the waterways, to limit an applicant to a particular building site on 102 acres, as long as the other impacts are taken care of, is not a necessary condition. She thinks the condition limiting the clearing for residential development to two acres is necessary in the way of limiting the impact. Ms. Humphris said that on Page 4 of the staffs report, the staff said By limiting the area of land =A clearing for residential development, conditions on this permit can limit the impacts on productive and erodible soils, without requiring the applicant to go through unduly complex site selection processes. That @ was the rationale of the staff, and with the applicant asking that he be relieved of that condition of the siting of the home, what are the unduly site selection processes the applicant might have to go through? Ms. Thomas said she assumed that was Condition No. 8 which the staff proposed. It reads Land A clearing for a future building site on the residue of Parcel 58-95 shall be limited to no more than two acres. The site shall not be located on soils rated high or very high for tree productivity by the USDAs Albemarle >=>== County Soil Survey, or on soils rated moderate or severe for erodibility or septic field limitations. She >=>=@ said maybe that condition should be reinstated if a house is to be allowed anywhere on this acreage. She does not know why the Commission dropped Condition No. 8. Mr. Cilimberg said Condition Nos. 6 and 7 apply to the new parcel. Condition No. 8 applies to the residue parcel. The Commission decided that the residue parcel was not as critical. So, they did not recommend that particular condition to the Board. Ms. Thomas said it could say Site shall not be located on soils rated high or very high for tree AA@A@ productivity, or on soils rated moderate or severe for erodibility or septic field limitations. A@A@@ Mr. Martin said he has some problems with that suggestion. He can understand soils rated moderate or severe for erodibility or septic field limitations, but, to say that on 102 acres the applicant A@ cannot build on a certain site because the soils are too good is not logical to him. Suppose the only soils that are suitable are on a corner somewhere, where no one would want to build? Why is the Board getting into this? Ms. Humphris said her only reason for getting into any of this is to find out if that site condition is dropped, what will happen about the site selection? Mr. Cilimberg said the applicant will have to meet ordinance requirements for site selection, which is meeting building site requirements. The site shown is an adequate building site which has space for adequate drainfields, and the back-up drainfields. By limiting clearing to no more than two acres, it means that there can be no more clearing than that for this building site. Staff does not judge building sites based on productivity of the soils. Ms. Thomas said she understands why staff made the recommendation. There does not have to be any building site, and it is good productive land. The Countys Comprehensive Plan says that productive = land should be protected, but there reaches a point on 102 acres where there is a limit to what can be said to someone who wants to build on that acreage. Ms. Humphris asked if the Board could agree to the exact wording for Condition No. 5. Mr. Kamptner said he would read the language recommended at this time, hopefully incorporating all of the suggestions made. He read: Riparian buffer easements extending at least one hundred feet A from the bank of each stream shall be placed on all streams on the new parcel. The Water Resources Manager shall identify the streams for which the easements shall be established. The easements shall include provisions protecting existing vegetation and a tree planting plan to be approved by the Planning and Engineering Departments and executed along Ivy Creek where existing riparian buffers extend less than one hundred feet from each bank (Mr. Kamptner said that from this point, the condition will be worded as set out in the executive summary for todays meeting for that portion of the stream located on the 102- = acre parcel: "The final plat creating the new parcel shall not be signed until these easements have been reviewed and approved by the Planning Department. The easements shall be granted to the Thomas Jefferson Soil & Water Conservation District, the County of Albemarle, or such entity approved by the County of Albemarle. If no such entity accepts the easements, the applicant shall provide written evidence from such entities declining the easements and this condition shall be null and void.") Ms. Thomas said she would suggest that Condition No. 6, as recommended by the Planning Commission (The building site shall be limited to the area labeled Homesite 1" on the applicants A= Preliminary Site Study, drawn by Gloeckner Engineering/Surveying, Inc. and dated July 19, 2000.), be A@ removed. Mr. Cilimberg suggested that in the first line of Condition No. 5, the new parcel be referred to as A@ the new 102-acre parcel. A@ April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 9) At this point, Ms. Thomas entertained a motion for approval. Ms. Humphris offered motion to approve SP-2000-34 subject to six conditions, with Condition No. 5 being amended to read as set out above, and read into the record by Mr. Kamptner, and removing Condition No. 6 as recommended by Ms. Thomas, and renumbering Condition No. 7 as Condition No. 6. The motion was seconded by Mr. Perkins. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Dorrier, Ms. Humphris and Mr. Martin. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Bowerman. (Note: The conditions of approval are set out in full below.) 1.No further division of the proposed 102-acre parcel allowed by this shall be permitted. No further division of the residue of Parcel 58-95 shall be permitted without an amendment to SP-81-01 and SP-81-55; 2.The 102-acre parcel shall be created through application for a rural division; 3.If an application for a rural division of Parcel 58-95 is not filed with the Planning Department within eighteen (18) months from the Board approval date, this permit amendment will expire; 4.Only one (1) dwelling unit shall be permitted on the 102-acre parcel; 5.Riparian buffer easements extending at least one hundred (100) feet from the bank of each stream shall be placed on all streams on the new 102-acre parcel. The Water Resources Manager shall identify the streams for which the easements shall be established. The easements shall include provisions protecting existing vegetation and a tree planting plan to be approved by the Planning and Engineering Departments and executed along Ivy Creek where existing riparian buffers extend less than one hundred (100) feet from each bank. The final plat creating the new parcel shall not be signed until these easements have been reviewed and approved by the Planning Department. The easements shall be granted to the Thomas Jefferson Soil & Water Conservation District, the County of Albemarle, or such entity approved by the County of Albemarle. If no such entity accepts the easements, the applicant shall provide written evidence from such entities declining the easements and this condition shall be null and void; and 6.Land clearing for this residential development site (including accessory structures such as sheds or pools) shall be limited to no more than two (2) acres (includes 1.05 acres required for the 35,000 square-foot building site and 10,000 square-foot septic site). This condition is not intended to limit agriculture, horticulture or forestry on the parcel. __________ Ms. Thomas said the next item is SP-2000-38 which deals with the stream crossing. Mr. Martin asked if any Board member had a problem with the old entrance being gated. Ms. Thomas said the Planning Commission recommendation reads: The existing farm entrance A shall be permanently closed upon completion of the new entrance. The applicant said he would be happy @ to place a gate on the entrance. That would help to make sure it did not become an easy second access and a less desirable location for an entrance. She thinks that if the Board wants the land kept in forestry or agricultural use, the agricultural access road should be kept. She suggested that Condition No. 3 be changed. Mr. Cilimberg said the applicant has suggested that the existing farm entrance be gated and locked and used only by Department of Forestry equipment, although he does not think the Forestry Department needs to be mentioned. Ms. Thomas suggested that the condition read: The existing farm entrance shall be gated and A locked by the landowner. Mr. Cilimberg said he does not think a reference to the landowner is needed, @ simply say The existing farm entrance shall be gated and locked upon completion of the new entrance. A@ At this point, motion was offered by Ms. Humphris to approve SP-2000-38 subject to the four conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, but rewording Condition No. 3, as set out above. The motion was seconded by Mr. Martin. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Dorrier, Ms. Humphris and Mr. Martin. NAYS: None. April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 10) ABSENT: Mr. Bowerman. (Note: The conditions of approval are set out below.) 1.The applicant shall secure the following approvals before removing vegetation or beginning work on the stream crossing: a.Engineering Department approval of structural computations for the entrance and stream crossing, include structural design computations that demonstrate the bridge can safely carry the vehicles that will access the residence (including all emergency vehicles); b.Fire & Rescue Department approval of the entrance design; c.Engineering Department approval of computations and plans documenting changes to the flood plain. Plans must show flood plain limits and levels before and after construction. Sections 18-30.02.2 and 18-30.03.2 allow no increase in flood levels. On the plan sheet, indicate the FEMA panel and designation (Community-Panel # 510006 0215 B) and that this section of Ivy Creek is a detailed study area; d.Engineering Department receipt of copies of Federal and State permits for disturbance of the stream channel and any associated wetlands; e.If the Engineering Department, after review of the hydraulic computations, finds that the flood plain will be changed, the applicant must obtain a map revision from FEMA; f.Engineering Department approval of an erosion and sediment control plan [17-203]. A water protection (E&SC and SWM) bond must be posted and a pre-construction conference held prior to the issuance of a grading permit; g.Engineering Department approval of a mitigation plan for repair and enhancement of the stream buffer [17-322].

SP-2000-077. Orrock Property (Triton PCS) (Signs 34 & 35). Public Hearing on a request to allow construction of a personal wireless communications fac w/an 80' tall steel monopole, in accord w/Sec 10.2.2.6 of the Zoning Ord. TM 92, P 5A, contains approx 15.61 acs. Located off of St Rt 53, approx 1/8 ml W of intersec w/Milton Rd (Rt 732). Znd RA & EC. Scottsville Dist. (This public hearing was advertised in the Daily Progress on April 9 and April 16, 2001.) Mr. Cilimberg summarized the staffs report which is on file in the Clerks Office. He said this == proposal is for the installation of a personal wireless service facility which would include an eighty-foot, self- supporting steel monopole with two flush-mounted panel antennas and a lightning rod. All ground-based equipment would be contained within a metal cabinet 6'9" in height, on a 10' by 12' concrete pad. This approval would help the applicants system provisions along State Route 53 south of Monticello. = Mr. Cilimberg said the 80-foot height of the tower was based on two specific trees in the area. The first tree is a 78-foot tall Ash which is located 39 feet away and situated at an elevation that is approximately four feet lower than the proposed location of the monopole. The second tree is a 75-foot tall Ash, approximately 63 feet away and eight feet higher. Mr. Cilimberg said access to the facility would be by use of an existing gravel road which starts on the north side of Route 53, and would be extended 109 feet east to the lease area. The areas directly south and east of the facility site are vegetated with a mixture of large, mature trees and dense underbrush. April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 11) A heavily wooded tree line lies just west of the private road, and with the exception of areas that are cleared for the house and to accommodate utility lines, most of the property exists in its naturally wooded state. Mr. Cilimberg said there was a balloon float test, and during the field visit, staff observed a red balloon from two nearby locations. The first was the parking lot on the Jefferson Vineyards property. The balloon was visible from this location approximately at the same height as the treetops along the ridge line. Staff found that the balloon was barely visible through the forest and below the treetops from a driveway that intersects with Route 53 approximately one-half mile west of the site. Although the site is located on property that is adjacent to Monticello on Patterson Mountain, the proposed facility is located completely outside of the Mountain Resource Protection Areas. Mr. Cilimberg said there are several historic sites adjacent to the subject property. Due to the presence of the trees on the incline of the hill where the lease area will be located, view of the monopole and other equipment within the facility site will be obscured from Simeon which is situated at a lower elevation. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, which was contacted to observe the balloon tests, indicated limited visibility. Due to that limited visual impact, it is staffs opinion that approval of the = application would not be inconsistent with the policies and guidelines set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for siting wireless facilities and protecting the important resources of the County. Mr. Cilimberg said staff recommended approval subject to conditions. He said that in the staff report, in the first sentence of Condition No. 1, it should say: ... the top of the monopole shall NOT exceed A a total height of 80 feet .... He said that was corrected by the Planning Commission. Also, at the end of @ Condition No. 2f, it should say ... justify the height of the monopole; He said that the Planning A@ Commission, at its meeting on March 13, 2001, unanimously recommended approval of SP-2000-77 subject to 11 conditions. He said Mr. Kamptner noted a couple of minor typographical errors that need to be corrected. The second sentence in Condition No. 5 should read: All construction or installations A associated .... He said that the word tow in the last sentence of Condition No. 5 should be two. @A@A@ With no questions for the staff from Board members, the public hearing was opened. Ms. Valerie Long was present to represent Triton, PCS. She said Mr. Cilimberg covered all of the relevant issues. The applicant is agreeable to the conditions, along with the minor changes mentioned. She said this is quite a challenging area in which to locate a facility. They are appreciative of County staff efforts, and representatives of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. They think they found a solution that will provide for a functional facility as well as one that has quite limited visibility from the major attractions in the area. She said they appreciate the Boards consideration of the request. = With no one else from the public rising to speak, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Dorrier moved approval of SP-2000-77, subject to the 11 conditions recommended by the Planning Commission, and with the corrections noted above. The motion was seconded by Ms. Humphris. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Dorrier, Ms. Humphris and Mr. Martin. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Bowerman. (Note: The conditions of approval are set out in full below.) 1.As shown on the construction plans, the top of the monopole shall not exceed a total height of eighty (80) feet, nor shall it exceed a top elevation of 712.8 feet, as measured Above Sea Level (ASL).

SP-2000-82. University of Virginia Real Estate Foundation (Signs #72, 73 & 74). Public Hearing on a request to allow fitness & wellness center in accord w/Sec 27.2.2.15 of the Zoning Ord. TM 32, P 6A, contains 503 acs. Located on Lewis and Clark Rd approx 1 ml from intersec of Lewis and Clark & Rt 29 N. Znd PD-ID. Rivanna Dist. (This public hearing was advertised in the Daily Progress on April 9 and April 16, 2001.) Mr. Cilimberg summarized the staffs report. He said this is a request from the University of Real = Estate Foundation (UREF) and the Atlantic Coast Athletic Club of Virginia, Inc. (ACAC) for a fitness and wellness center in the North Fork Research Park. The project is roughly in the middle of the park in an area which was designated as open space during the rezoning for the park. To the east, the site is bordered by the town center area, to the west across Lewis and Clark Drive is the existing PRA Building. Staff noted that important environmental features on the site include critical slopes along Lewis and Clark Drive which were man-made, and the embankment adjacent to the existing parking area, and a small stream that would be partially covered during construction of the projects parking area. = Mr. Cilimberg said factors favorable included the fitness center supplementing the mixed use aspects of the park by diversifying recreation opportunities for park employees, and also the centralized location allows the fitness center to be easily accessible by foot for most of the parks employees. He said = April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 13) there were some issues of concern for staff that were discussed in the original Planning Commission meeting. Four items discussed were: pedestrian access to the site, stream stabilization, the grade of reconstructed slopes, and the close proximity of the Albemarle County Service Authority waterline to the proposed building. He said those matters were fully addressed, and the applicant provided solutions which staff felt met its concerns. The matter was brought back to the Commission at a second meeting, and the staff did recommend approval. Mr. Cilimberg said the Commission, at its meeting on March 28, 2001, unanimously recommended approval of the petition subject to five conditions. The public hearing was opened, and the applicant invited to speak. Ms. Valerie Long was present to represent the applicants. She said Mr. Cilimberg covered most of the issues. They are agreeable to the conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. There are several representatives of the Foundation and ACAC present tonight if anyone has a technical question. They are pleased the Commission recommended approval. They feel it will diversify the use of the park and provide a resource for the employees at all times during the day. They look forward to moving on and having a facility there soon. She offered to answer questions. Mr. Dorrier asked how many members the present ACAC facility has. Mr. Kamptner said it is in the thousands. Mr. Martin said he thinks this will be a great facility. With no one else from the public rising to speak, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Martin moved approval of SP-2000-82 with the five conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Ms. Humphris. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Dorrier, Ms. Humphris and Mr. Martin. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Mr. Bowerman. (Note: The conditions of approval are set out in full below.) 1.Approval of this special use permit shall be in general accord with the updated Application Exhibit plan, prepared by Draper Aden Associates and dated March 2, 2001 (revised March 16, 2001), (Attachment A). The following conditions (2 through 5) are deemed additional elements to the Application Exhibit and must be included on an approved site plan; 2.The applicant shall provide for pedestrian access in the following locations: a.Pedestrian access shall be provided between the Fitness Center and the planned Hike/Bike trail shown on the Open Space System Phasing Plan (Exhibit 6.1 of ZMA 95-04). This pedestrian access shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Fitness Center; b.Pedestrian access shall be provided along the full extent of the unnamed driveway. The driveway is shown on the plan between the Qual Choice building and the Fitness Center and connecting Lewis and Clark Drive to the Fitness Center. This pedestrian access shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Fitness Center; c.Pedestrian access shall be provided across the full extent of frontage and completely around the Fitness Center building. The pedestrian access shall provide access from Lewis and Clark Drive to the building's entrance, which is planned to face the parking lot on the lower level. This pedestrian access shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Fitness Center; d.The final building design shall provide an entrance facing onto Lewis and Clark Drive. This entrance may be closed or used as emergency access while the building is used for the proposed Fitness Center use; and e.Pedestrian access between the Fitness Center and Town Center shall be provided in a manner that encourages pedestrian traffic in an efficient and inviting manner. This pedestrian access shall be provided either at the time of construction of the Fitness Center or during the construction of the Town Center's parking areas. The Agent shall approve this pedestrian access between the Fitness Center and the Town Center if it meets the intent of condition 2e; 3.The applicant shall provide stream bank stabilization along the remaining exposed, natural stream. Furthermore, this stabilization shall occur in a naturalized manner and shall be supplemented with additional plantings in sufficient enough quantity to provide protection for the stream. The County's Water Resources Manager shall certify that the intent of this condition is met; 4.All reconstructed slopes shall be at 3:1 or 2.5:1 slopes (with the use of 2.5:1 slopes to be restricted to areas where a 3:1 slopes would either necessitate the excessive use of retaining walls or would cause the fill slope toe to encroach into the "No Grading Zone"). These reconstructed slopes shall be designed to allow for the April 25, 2001 (Regular Night Meeting) (Page 14) revegetation of the fill slopes with a mix of trees, shrubs and ground cover. If retaining walls are utilized as part of the fill slope design, preference will be given to a terraced design with series of shorter walls instead of a single, large wall. Special consideration will be given to both screening the Hike/Bike Trail from the negative aesthetic impacts of the fill slope and/or its retaining walls and to protecting the stream from water quality impacts through the use of the aforementioned revegetation. The County's Landscape Planner and Water Resources Manager shall certify that the intent of this condition is met; and 5.The design of the building and/or site shall accommodate the concerns of the Albemarle County Service Authority relative to the proximal waterline and thrust block. Furthermore, if the building's redesign is significant enough to cause the fill slope's toe to encroach closer than five (5) feet from the "No Grading Zone", which is depicted on the Schematic Grading Plan, prepared by Draper Aden and dated February 28, 2001 (revised March 16, 2001) (see Attachment D), this encroachment shall cause the applicant to seek an amendment to this special use permit. _______________ Agenda Item No. 10. Public Hearing on Proposed FY 2001 Budget Amendments. (Public hearing was advertised in the Daily Progress on April 18, 2001.) Ms. White said the Board is required to hold a public hearing to amend its current FY 2001 Budget if the additional amounts to be appropriated exceed one percent of the original budget, or $500,000, whichever is the lesser. This applies to all funds, i.e., Capital, E-911, School Self-sustaining, etc., and not just to the Countys adopted operating budget. = Ms. White said the proposed FY 2001 Budget amendment totals $2,544,096.32. (See a listing of the appropriations being requested, in the minutes of April 4, 2001.) Ms. Thomas said she wants to be sure that thank you letters are written to the many people who A@ have given donations. These are a major part of what the Board is dealing with today. She said it is possible the School Board writes appropriate letters, but she thinks the Board can add its thanks also. At this point, the public hearing was opened. With no one from the public rising to speak, the public hearing was closed. Ms. Humphris offered motion to approve the FY 2001 Budget amendments as presented, including the nine pending appropriations, by adopting the following Resolutions of Appropriation #20047, #20054, #20055, #20056, #20057, #20059, #20060, #20061 and #20062. The motion was seconded by Mr. Martin. Roll was called, and the motion carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Mr. Perkins, Ms. Thomas, Mr. Dorrier, Ms. Humphris and Mr. Martin. NAYS: None.

Approval of Minutes: March 14 and March 21, 2001. No minutes had been read. _______________ Agenda Item No. 12. From the Board: Matters not Listed on the Agenda. Ms. Humphris said the Clerk had given the Board members a list of graduation dates of all the high schools. Albemarle High School is set to have its graduation on a regular meeting night, so she will miss graduation at that school for the first time, so she is sad about that. __________ Ms. Thomas said she and Mr. Martin will be meeting with Mayor Blake Caravati and Mr. Maurice Cox on Friday to discussion the directions to be given to CHART. They both received by E-mail listing some proposed directions and common visions. She will be happy to forward it to anyone else who wants to look at it and provide feedback. __________ Ms. Thomas said the Foxfield event is coming up Saturday. Some people met with the Police and the organizers a while ago, and were told about the plan they are going to use. There will be many more police on the roads, as well as the State Police who will help with traffic particularly where Owensville Road meets Route 250 which is a bottleneck. However, the magistrates will not be there to issue warrants because they refused to do that. Now, when an arrest is made, the officer has to take someone all the way to Charlottesville to find a magistrate, so essentially that officer is lost to law enforcement for the rest of the day. _______________ Agenda Item No. 13. Adjourn. With no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:26 p.m. ________________________________________ Chairman Approved by the Board of County Supervisors Date: 10/17/2001 Initials: LAB
