students should know and be able to do; to establish clear standards for student
performance; to ensure that student assessments are tied to established
standards; to be accountable to the community for operating schools that support
student achievement; to align school district resources to ensure that students
meet standards; to create a climate assuring safe and orderly classrooms; to
build collaborative relationships to solve common problems; and to ensure
continuous improvement; and

RESOLUTION
IN SUPPORT OF RIVANNA SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle formed the Rivanna Solid Waste
Authority (the "Authority") in 1990 for the purpose of providing regional solid waste
management; and
the continued successful operation of the Authority provides an important public service
supported by the County; and
pursuant to certain amendments to Title 9 of the Virginia Administrative Code, Section
20-70 et. seq. governing the amount of cash or cash equivalents solid waste facilities
must post in a financial assurance fu nd maintained by the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality ("DEQ"), the Authority is required to post an additional $1,000,000
to the fund;
to enhance the financial strength and continued successful operation of the Authority, the
Authority proposes to obtain a letter of credit in the amount of $1,000.000 (the "Letter of
Credit") for the benefit of DEQ from the Bank of America, N.A. (the "Lender") in lieu of
cash to meet the financial assurance require merits of DEQ; and
the purpose of the Letter of Credit has been fully discussed with the County's Board of
Supervisors and the Board supports the appropriateness of the Letter of Credit; however,
the Board cannot be legally obligated to appropriate funds to the Authority and believes
the Authority should maintain its own financial credentials; and
although the Authority 'is an independent legal entity, the County has the power to appoint
certain directors of the Authority; and
as a condition to providing the Letter of Credit on behalf of the Authority to DEQ, the
Lender has requested that the County express its moral obligation to assist the Authority
in repayment of the Authority's obligations under its Application and Agreement for
Standby Letter of Credit (the "Reimbursement Agreement") with the Lender in the event
DEQ makes a draw upon the Letter of Credit and the Authority is unable to repay such
obligations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE tT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County hereby
pledges to the Authority and to the Lender the County's "moral obligation" to provide the
Authority with sufficient funds for the Authority to make timely pay ments to the Lender as
required by the Reimbursement Agreement; provided, however, that the Lender
acknowledges that the County shall have no legal or enforceable Obligation to provide
such funds and the performance by the County of all undertakings for the payment of
money by the County pursuant hereto is subject to and conditioned upon approval and
appropriation by the Board; and that the approval of any money by the County pursuant
hereto is solely for the fiscal year in which such appropriation is made and is further
subject to any prohibitions or restrictions imposed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Executive, or any Assistant County Executive, are each
hereby authorized in the name of and on behalf of the County to execute and deliver
such documents and instruments and to take such other and further actions as may be in
any way necessary or appropriate to effectuate the foregoing resolution and to carry out
the purposes thereof, and that the taking of any such action and the execution by such
individuals of any such additional documents or instruments shall conclusively evidence
the due authorization thereof by the Board.
I. Ella W. Carey, do hereby certify that the foregoing writing is a true, correct copy of a Resolution
duly adopted by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County by vote of 6 to 0, as recorded below, at a
meeting held on February 6, 2002.

line is equidistant from the public street or private road right-of-way at all points. Areas in
parking bays shall not be considered as part of the public street or private road for purposes
of determining front yard setback. In addition, if a shared driveway traverses a front yard,
each primary structure also shall be located at least ten (10) feet from the edge of the shared
driveway easement; if a shared driveway is concurrent with the shared lot line of the lots

of an alley easement or right-of-way or shared driveway easement, no closer than three (3) feet to
the edge of the alley easement or right-of-way or the shared driveway easement. The director of
planning and community development may authorize an accessory structure to be located closer to
the edge of an alley easement or right-of-way if the director determines that, based upon the written
recommendation of the county engineer, the proposed design incorporates features that assure
public safety and welfare. The county engineer shall consider the provision of adequate access to
required onsite parking and/or garages, unimpeded vehicular circulation along the alley, an
adequate clear zone along the alley, and other safety issues deemed appropriate for the conditions.
(Amended 2-6-02)
Sec. 5.1.39 Off-site employee parking for industrial use
In order to provide the minimum parking required by section 4.12 or to provide additional parking,
off-site employee parking may be authorized only when: (1) the provision of on-site parking is not
physically feasible or, when considering the general public interest, as opposed to the pdvate
interest of the applicant, is not physically desirable; (2) the proposed off-site parking is limited to
employee use; (3) the provision of off-site parking does not change the character of the area
surrounding the property on which the off-site parking is located, and does not require substantial
alteration to roads; (4) alternate transportation opportunities have not eliminated the need for
additional parking; and (5) the parcel on which the off-site parking is located is either contiguous with
the parcel on which the industrial use being served is located, or if the two parcels are not
contiguous, they are separated only by a public street, private road, or alley. (Amended 2-6-02)
To insure that the review of each application for a special use permit for off-site employee parking is
consistent with this intent, each applicant shall comply with the following requirements:
The applicant shall demonstrate that additional on-site parking is not physically feasible or
physically desirable due to topographic constraints such as critical slopes and natural
drainage features; wooded and buffer areas; unusual configuration of the lot or remaining
11
undeveloped area on the lot; entrance corridor and/or landscaping requirements; stormwater
management improvements; the location and visibility of the site; and other physical featu res
of the property.
The applicant shall demonstrate that he has made a determined effort to reduce reliance on
single occupancy vehicle use by putting in place incentives and/or employee programs to
encourage alternatives to single occupancy vehicles. Where public transit reasonably could
be made available, the applicant should demonstrate that efforts have been made to
coordinate routes and times with the public transportation servi ce and the workforce hours.
The parking lot shall be located, designed and constructed to reduce or eliminate significant
visual impacts from all public streets, private roads and adjacent properties, and to reduce or
eliminate other significant impacts to adjacent properties resulting from vehicular noise, dust,
artificial lighting, glare, runoff, degradation of water quality and other similar disturbances.
The applicant shall submit a conceptual plan or a site plan with his application for a special
use permit. The plan shall show the approximate location of the parking lot on the property,
its dimensions, its access to a public street, its distance from the off-site parking to the
industrial site, and shall identify how persons will be transported or will transport themselves
from the off-site parking to the building or use. The plan shall also show all features of the
parking lot, which will insure that the parking lot will not adversely change the character of, or
significantly impact, the area surrounding the property on which the parking lot is proposed,
and will impact to the least extent practicable the property on which the parking lot is
proposed. The features which shall be shown on the conceptual plan or site plan, and which
may be required as.a condition of approval of a special use permit, include but are not limited
to:
Visual or noise barriers such as earthen berms, the existing or planned terrain and/or
vegetative screening;
Proposed construction elements, which shall include elements which will minimize
noise, light pollution, dust, glare, and runoff and which will protect water quality and
protect trees designated to be preserved and will result in no s~gnificant degradation
to the environment;
A lighting plan which identifies the location and design of all outdoor light structures
and fixtures, demonstrates that all outdoor lights comply with section 4.12.6.4 and
demonstrates that all outdoor lights will be shielded in such a manner that all light
emitted from the fixture, either directly from the lamp or indirectly from the fixture, is
projected below the horizontal plane of the fixture; and
Changes proposed to the entrance and public road, including any necessary road-
widening, or grading and removal of trees to accommodate sight distance.
The off-site parking and loading requirements set forth in section 4.12 shall apply to the off-
site parking subject to this section, except as expressly provided otherwise therein.

BACKGROUND:
During the review of the above noted special use permits, the Board inquired as to the implications of using Federal TEA 21
Enhancement Grant funds on the proposed boat access if, in the future, the County chose to pursue a public road project
located on park property.
DISCUSSION.:
The most significant regulation at issue under the above noted scenario is Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation
Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 303(c)). This Section states that the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation may approve
a transportation program or project requiring the use of publicly owned land of a public park, recreation area, or wildlife and
if:waterfowl refuge of national state or local significance, or land of an historic site of national, state, or local significance only
1) there is no prudent and feasible alternative to using that land; and,
2) the program or project includes all possible planning to minimize harm to the park, recreation area, wildlife and
waterfowl refuge, or historic site resulting from the use.
The County Attorney's office is of the opinion that any future public road project which uses federal funds for the development
of the ~ would req uire a "Section 4(f) review," regardless of whether federal funds have been used for the
construction or improvement of the park. Therefore, use of the TEA 21 funds for the proposed boat access project should
not create any ~ impediments to a possible future road project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on this information staff continues to recommend approval of SP-01-036 and SP-01-044 with the conditions as
recommended.

BACKGROUND:
At the Jan uary 16,2002 County Board of Supervisors meeting, a resolution was passed recommending VDOT accept Corville
Farm Road into the State Secondary System of Highways and construct improvements under the Rural Additions Program.
Prior to VDOT constructing road improvements necessary for placing Corville Farm Road into the State Secondary System
of Highways, the County must provide VDOT a guarantee of clear and unrestricted right-of-way and any'necessary easements
for grading or drainage. The Corville Farm Road right of way was recorded with the Corville Farm Subdivision plat, but County
staff had identified drainage easements that will be required to satisfy VDOT. As recommended at the January 16, 2002 Board
of Supervisors meeting, Engineering and Public Works was directed to obtain the necessary as-built survey and drainage
easements. A cost of $10,000 has been estimated to prepare an as-built survey of the roadway, create the necessary
easement plats and have them recorded. That cost was discussed in the mentioned Corville Farm Road Executive Summary
of January 16, 2002, which indicated that these project costs could not be included in the Rural Addition Program, but would
need to come from County funds. This work must be completed before VDOT will start design or construction of the
improvements.
DISCUSSION:
The $10,000 estimated cost for preparing the easement plats needs to be funded. The readily available source of funding for
those easement plats and the as-built survey is the County's Capital Project Reserve. The transfer of the $10,000 from the
Capital Project Reserve to an Engineering account number would allow for the immediate start of work.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the transfer of $10,000 from the Capital Project Reserve (1-9010-11010-999979) to the Engineering CIP Corville
Farm Improvements (1-9010-41000-950143) for the purpose of creating the required as-built survey and easement plat for
the Corville Farm Road project.

As part of the environmental permitting of RSWA's Ivy facility, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requires
financial assurances be in place as a contingency for any environmental mitigation that might be later required. This financial
assurance does not indicate a need for any environmenial mitigation on the part of RSWA, but assures sufficient funds will be
in Place should such an effort be required in the future. Based on DEQ's permit requirements, RSWA's Ivy facility is required
to provide an additional $1,000,000 in financial assurance.
In providing the required financial assurance, RSWA has the option of suppiying a letter of credit rather than the cash amount.
The primary benefit of a letter of credit is RSWA keeps its capital reserve available for the current closure work and any
mitigation that might be required in the future. Keeping the capital reserve unencumbered allows RSWA to use those funds
for their intended purpose rather than necessitating the need for AJbemarle County and the City of Charlottesville to supplement
that capital reserve to cover those anticipated needs.
DISCUSSION:
In Obtaining a letter of credit from a financial institution, RSWA is required to provide a "moral obligation" from both the City of
Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle. That moral obligation provides an assurance the City and County would repay
this letter of credit if RSWA was unable to do so. While this moral obligation is not a contractual guarantee the County would
repay the letter of credit, failure to honor the moral obligation would have adverse effects on the Cou '
Effectively, the letter of credit reduces RSWA's need for the Cou · . .. nty s credit ratings.
otherwise be required if a letter of credit could not be obtained, nty and City to prowde additional financial support that would
In May of 2000, the City and County adopted similar Resolutions creating a moral obligation to secure funds borrowed by
RWSA under a line of credit obtained by RWSA necessary to settle contingent liabilities arising from the settlement of the Ivy
Landfill litigation and to maintain operations at the Landfill. That moral obligation was for an amount not to exceed $2,000,000.
That line of credit has now been converted into a ten year amortized note and is still backed by the moral obligation of the City
and County if RWSA is ever in default.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached-resolution providing a moral obligation for the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority.

Fiscal Year 2002/03 General Fund revenues were projected at $135,748,127 in October, 2001. The projection has been
revised to $137,728,967, a net increase of $1,980,840. This increase is summarized in the table below:

Projected local tax revenues are increased by $2,211,581 over the October projection. The majority of this ~ncrease is
additional real estate property tax revenue (+$1,111,289) resulting from a re-estimate of the anticipated average increase
in the assessed values of real property for the upcoming reassessment cycle to be about 13%, and additional personal
property tax revenue (+$600,000) based on the recent strong sales of new motor vehicles as a result of zero-percent
financing. Also, local sales tax revenue has been projected to increase by $100,000 due to stable taxable retail sales in the
County, and business license receipts are projected to increase by $98,000, also based on the solid local economy.
Consumer utility receipts are increased by $93,350.
Other local revenues are projected to decrease by $151,986, largely because of lower amounts of interest earned on
deposits of County funds, reflecting continued downward trends in interest rates.
General Fund revenues from State sources (except for Personal Property Tax Relief payments) are also projected to
decrease further, largely due to declining state-wide revenues in ABC profits, wine tax revenues, and rolling stock taxes,
and proposed reductions in HB 599 funding for local police departments in the Governor's current budget proposals.
By applying the normal allocation formula for local tax revenues, the School Division would receive an additional allocation
of $1,326,949 in local tax revenues (60%) for FY 2003 school operations, and General Local Government would receive
an additional allocation of $884,632 (40%), above the previous allocation (November 7, 2001 ).

INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND:
Prior to development of proposals for Community Improvement Grants available through the Virginia Department of Housing
and Community Development's Community Development Block Grant Program.(CDBG), a locality must hold two public
hearings. The first hearing is to provide information on the availability and amount of program funds available, the Iocality's
housing and community development needs, and past performance of CDBG funding during the previous five years. This
hearing must be advertised at least 7 days prior to the public hearing in a non-legal newspaper ad and one other form of ad
including advertising on local radio or television or distribution of information in proposed service areas.
DISCUSSION:
CDBG Community Improvement Grants (CIG) are available for Comprehensive Community Development, Economic
Development, Housing, Community Facilities, and Community Service Facilities. The activities must meet at least one of the
CDBG National Objectives - benefit to Iow- and moderate-income persons; aid in prevention or elimination of slums and blight;
or meet urgent community needs that pose serious and immediate threat to health or welfare of the community.
Generally, CIG applications are limited to a $1,000,000 maximum. However, localities may have multiple grants as long as
the total outstanding does not exceed $2.5 million.
County staff, the County's Housing Committee, and the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program are currently developing
information on housing needs. One such need identified last year (for which a CIG application was submitted) is the rehab
and preservation of affordable rental property. Based on market surveys and the difficulty that Section 8 program clients have
in finding affordable rental property, this will likely remain a high priority need. Any other needs or potential project areas that
may be identified will be considered prior to conducting a public hearing on the actual CIG application(s).
Detailed Information regarding past performance will be available at the public hearing. To briefly summarize, approximately
$770,000 in CDBG funds was used in the Porters Road/Yancey School Neighborhood to rehabilitate 29 homes, remove 14
unsafe structures, and develop land for the construction of five new homes. Over $2 million in other public and private
leveraged funds were used in the project of which almost half was invested in development of a new park (Simpson Park) and
the renovation of the WD Ward Community Center. The project is on target for completion within the contract period that ends
in September 2002.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends setting a public hearing for February 20, 2002 to provide information on the availability of CDBG funds and
to receive 'n put on housing and/or community development needs.

Owensville Road (Rt. 678) Relocation- Consideration of

BACKGROUND:
The County at one time had a secondary road project to relocate Route 678 approaching Route 250. The relocated
Route 678 would have been aligned behind the Ivy Commons Shopping Center and in front of the BB& T Bank and,
would intersect with Route 250 west of the existing Rt. 678 intersection. On October 6, 1993, the Board of
Supervisors voted not to proceed with this relocation. The right-of-way in question had been dedicated for this project
(Attachment A).
DISCUSSION:
There is no urgency for the Board of Supervisors to act on this ~ssue. However, staff often receives calls from
potential property owners along the noted right-of-way. Staff informs the public on the background information noted
above. Staff is then typically asked what will be done with the right-of-way and responds that the Board of
Supervisors must determine its future use.
The intent of the project had been to establish a better alignment of the road and create a new Route 678/250
intersection with an improved design and sight distance (in part, by moving the road further away for the railroad
overpass abutments). However, the proposed alignment still contained several sharp turns and required significant
grading (cut/fill activity). Furthermore, sight distance at the new intersection with Route 250 would not have been
improved to meet desired standards. The Board voted not to pursue this project due to its cost and the limited benefit
gained with the project.
Staff is requesting Board of Supervisors' direction as to whether to keep this right-of-way or pursue vacating it. The
governing body can vacate the right-of-way by obtaining the signatures of the lot owners immediately adjoining or
contiguous to the vacated area.
By vacating the right-of-way, the County would lose the opportunity to use the property for a road improvement similar
to what was previously proposed, if determined to be necessary in the future. It would, however, return the property
to private ownership and a taxable status.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that unless the Board foresees no possibility of reconsidering this project, the County not vacate
this right-of-way at this time, but keep it in its current status for future options. If the Board wishes to discuss this
matter further, we request that you remove this item from the consent agenda and discuss it under Transportation
Matters.

The Department of Engineering & Public Works is undertaking a Stormwater Master Planning project for the Development
Areas. The project involves stream assessments for streams within the Development Areas, identification of regional
stormwater strategies, development of watershed action plans, and development of a financing plan.
This project grew out of work sessions held with the Board of Supervisors on March 1 and April 5 of 2000. One of the items
approved at those sessions was to "prioritize CIP funding for completion of regional drainage area studies as an integrated
element of our land use planning program."
Based on this initiative, staff from the Department of Engineering & Public Works applied for year 2001 grant funds under
Virginia's Water Quality Improvement Fund, administered by the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR). The grant
funds are intended to supplement County CIP funds for the development of the Stormwater Master Plan. The firm of CH2M
Hill has been selected and is already working with County staff on the stream assessment phase of the project.
DISCUSSION:
DCR selected the County's grant application for a reward of $100,000, to be matched by $100,000 in County funds. The
County funding is already in place for FY 01-02. Carry-over of some of these funds to FY 02-03 is expected to complete the
project.
The County Attorney's Office has reviewed the grant agreement and concurs that the agreement can proceed to the Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the County Executive to sign the grant agreement with DCR so that the grant agreement can be executed.

Dear Mr. Hirschman,
On behalf of your local project manager, Robert Cooper, and Watershed Manager Michael Bowman, I am
pleased to provide three copies of the grant agreement package for the above referenced project. The Scope of
Services, Attachment A, has been written to describe your project's major work elements. The Proiect Financial.
Report, Attachment B, was developed from your final project proposal, as was the Project Milestone Table,
Attachment C.
Please review the grant agreement package carefully, particularlY the milestone table, as the dates were adjusted
to complement the effective date. I would also like to reiterate that the amount of the grant is $100,000. It was
probably an oversight, but your revised paperwork lists the original requested amount of $100,600. The
stormwater management priority had a $100,000 cap for each project, so the additional $600 was not eligible for
funding.
Please sign and return each of the three original copies to me, as well as the enclosed federal tax identification
form. Upon Mr. Brickley's signature, the grant agreement will become effective, and you will be notified
immediately of your project's effective date. One complete copy of the executed grant agreement will then be
returned to you. Please remember that project expenditures and match accumulation cannot begin until Mr.
Brickley signs the grant agreement. Your commitment to the water quality in the Commonwealth of Virginia is
appreciated. IfI can be of further service, please do not hesitate to contact me at (804) 371-8984.

PROJECT SCOPE OF SERVICES
~llbemarle County Stormwater Management Plan
Albemarle County - 91934-WQIA-2001-1
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The project area corresponds to Albemarle County's "Development Areas," as identified in the Land
Use Plan and Comprehensive Plan. These are areas where development is targeted, with the express
goal of not developing the watershed areas outside of the Development Areas. The Development
Areas account for 35 square miles of county land, with the balance being 692 square miles. This
approach is consistent with the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement and other methods to control nonpoint
source pollution.
The proposed Albemarle County stormwater master planning process is a critical component of the
overall land use approach. In essence, we seek to hold the line in the Development Areas with regard
to nonpoint source pollution, stream channel erosion, and stream buffer impacts, and improve on
existing conditions where opportunities exist.
This strategy will be accomplished through a stormwater master planning process that will inventory
and prioritize watershed resources, analyze watershed hydrology, assemble a watershed action list, and
identify specific funding mechanisms to implement the items on the action list. The watershed action
list will consist of stream restoration, stream buffer enhancement, regional water quality facilities,
retrofit of existing facilities, stream corridor protection (e.g., easements and permanent restrictions),
and public education and outreach. The critical stream and watershed inventory step will involve
dividing the project area into distinct stream reaches and conducting field assessments for each reach.
These assessments will include biological and habitat analysis, channel and bank stability, riparian
conditions, and cultural factors, such as adjacent development patterns.
The Development Areas include sections of the following watersheds: Nortt~ Fork Rivanna River,
South Fork Rivanna River, Meadow Creek, Moores Creek, Mechums River, and Upper and Middle
Rivanna River
The project will directly address pollutants of concern on the following stream segments listed on the
1998 303(d) list:
· North Fork Rivanna River (VAV-H27R) - General Standard
· Rivanna River (VAV-H29R) - Fecal Coliform
· Rivanna River (VAV-H28R) - General Standard
· Moores Creek (VAV-H28R) -Fecal Coliform
· South Fork Rivanna River (VAV-H26R) - Fecal Coliform
By identifying, assessing and developing an overall plan to remedy existing erosion, stormwater, and
nonpoint source problem areas, the project will help reduce existing pollutant loads and also contribute
to improvements in habitat and living resources.
The proposed project addresses the following watersheds identified by DCR as having a medium or
high potential to contribute nonpoint source pollution in 2000 Biennial Nonpoint Source Pollution
Water Quality Assessment Report: H23 - Mechums River, H26 - South Fork Rivanna/Ivy Creek, H27
- North Fork RivannaJSwift Run/Preddy Creek, H28 - Upper Rivanna River/Moores Creek, and H29 -
Middle Rivanna River/Buck Island Creek.
The stormwater master planning project will take a watershed approach by identifying existing
problem areas, alternatives to retrofit the existing stormwater system, regional solutions, and a
watershed action list for implementation, including stream restoration, stream buffer enhancements,
disconnection of the storm sewer system, and public education and outreach. The master plan will
outline specific funding options so that the items on the watershed project list can be implemented.
II. PROJECT COORDINATION
The Albemarle County Department of Engineering & Public Works will provide overall coordination
for the project in a fashion that ensures cost-effective and successful completion of the proposed work.
This project has firm support from the local elected officials in terms of policy and financial
commitment. County staiTthat will be directly involved with the project include David I-l_irschman,
Water Resources Manager (project manager); Stephen Bowler, Watershed Manager; Mark Chambers,
Water Resources Plan Reviewer/Inspector; and Mark Graham, Senior Engineer. This team will be
supported and assisted in the stream assessment task by the remainder of our engineering and erosion
control staff.
The county conducted' a competitive Request for Proposal process for the project. A county selection
committee interviewed four firms, and selected CH2M Hill. County staff will be very active in
managing the contract with CH2M Hill, as well as conducting much of the fieldwork necessary for the
project (particularly the stream assessment task).
County staff will also seek broad community support for the project and its outcomes by engaging
community volunteers to assist with the stream assessment and prioritization procedures. An existing
stakeholder committee looking at issues of development design in the Development Areas will review
and comment on all project tasks and outcomes. This committee is comprised of developers, citizens,
County staff, environmental groups, and designers.
IV. WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed project will result in reductions in nutrient and sediment loads (as well as other
. pollutants such as bacteria). The main pollutant reductions will be associated with stream restoration
projects, buffer enhancements, construction of regional BMPs, and retrofit of existing facilities.
Several of these measures, such as stream restoration, also have great potential to increase habitat and
aquatic diversity and have a large impact on instream sediment loads from eroding streambanks. It is
expected that the implementation of these measures will surpass pollutant load reductions from
traditional on-site BMPs.
The methods and measures to be used to document program effectiveness are described below for each
BMP type to be included in the Master Plan:
· Stream Restoration: permanent cross-sections established and periodically monitored to measure
channel stability and sediment reduction (at treated & untreated streambanks).
Stream Buffer Enhancements: acres of new buffer established and acres of buffer protected by
easement or deed restriction.
· Regional Stormwater BMPs: number of regional BMPs constructed; some monitoring studies may
be conducted based on future funding.
· Retrofit of Existing Facilities: number of retrofits.
· Public Education & Outreach: number of citizens reached through programs.
· Overall: Approximately 10 benchmark monitoring sites for Save-Our-Streams biological
monitoring within the Development Areas.

Gypsy Moth Status
This past September, the County contracted with Mr. Bob Grace to perform the duties of Gypsy
Moth Coordinator for Albemarle County. Specifically Mr. Grace was tasked with checking out
reported areas of Gypsy Moth activity and performing egg mass surveys in an effort to determine
the status of the Gypsy Moth in Albemarle County.
Attached you will fred Mr. Grace's brief rep'ort. I have scheduled Mr. Grace to attend the February
day meeting of the Board and discuss his findings., and his forecast for the future.
Mr. Grace retired from the U.S Forest Service in 1981 and has been in Gypsy Moth suppression
activity in Virginia and West Virginia Since 1985. He is currently serving as Gypsy Moth
Coordinator for several of our surrounding counties. Please feel free to take advantage of Mr.
Grace's presence and ask him any questions you may have about the Gypsy Moth Program.

Dear Pat and Matt,
I hove completed my F=ypsy Moth Egg Mass Surveys for Albemarle County.
The County should anticipate light to moderate defoliation along the western edge
of the County particularly in areas within a mile of the Skyline Drive. In addition
the areas near Botesville, Buck Mountain and north from Cismont will show strong
evidence of r~ypsy Moth build-up and subsequent damage. However in none of
these areas do z anticipate mortality. It is strongly recommended that the County
anticipate suppre.ssion requests and that action be taken in a timely fashion during
the Spring and Summer of 2002. This can be discussed further at your
convenience.
There will be heavy defoliation along the Hardware River in the area east of
Route 20 and nOrth from ~Tefferson Mill. This area had rather high population
build-up this year and presently hosts egg mass numbers that wilt produce
defoliation in excess of 30 percent. Some mortality can be expected. I have met
and talked to several landowners and advised them on techniques to moderate the
impact near their homes.
I fully expect a suppression program begun in a timely fashion will be
beneficial to these landowners, and will definitely be needed in the spring of 2003.
However planning needs to begin this coming Spring.
Sincerely,
~d~ob Grace

Dear Mr. Ray:
This letter of correction replaces the determination of development rights and parcels for
this property dated November 30, 2001 and the determination dated January 11,2002.
The County Attorney and I have reviewed the title information for the above-noted
property. It is the County Attorney's advisory opinion and my official determination that
Tax Map 28, Parcel 1, located west of Route 671, contains twenty (20) parcels and
seventy-five (75) theoretical development rights. The basis for this determination
follows.
A map showing the location, former tax map and parcel number and a separate map
key number for each referenced parcel is included as Attachment A. The map key
numbers are in brackets and in bold type throughout this letter. The bracketed numbers
are assigned only for the purpose of identifying particular tracts of land discussed in this
determination.
A table listing the parent parcels in existence on December 10, 1980, the map key
numbers, the former tax 'map and parcel numbers, the acreage, the number of
theoretical development rights and the deed references is included as Attachment B.
Our records indicate Tax Map 28, Parcel 1 contains 1,223.87 acres and six dwellings.
The property is not in an Agricultural Forestal District. The most recent deed for this
property is recorded in Deed Book 1976, page 667. The most recent deeds for the
parcels described below prior to the date of adoption of the Albemarle County Zoning

Ordinance (December 10, 1980) are identified as parent parcels in the following history
that begins with Deed Book 1i4, page 263.
Deed Book 114, page 263 is a decree of the Circuit Court dated May 23, 1891. It sets
forth the disposition of 468 % acres of the Estate of William Thompson. Included in this
decree is a subdivision plat by John Simms dated April 1891. It showed the subdivision
of the property into nine tracts plus four wood lots. Pages 268 - 271 contain the
grantees and metes and bounds descriptions for each of the parcels as follows:
[13 & 14] No.1:90 acres Conveyed to Dr. Thomas M. Durrer. As the result of
subsequent off-conveyances, [13] now contains 54 ½ acres and [14] contains
3.01 acres. Tax Map 16, Parcels 10A1 and 10A3, are not part of this
determination.
[TM 16, P 10] No. 2:91 ½ acres on the east side of 671 conveyed to Joseph R.
Thompson and John T. Thompson. This tract is not part of this determination

Deed Book 375, page 25, dated December 27, 1961, conveyed 298 acres from Eugene
A. Maupin & Clara L. Maupin to Rupo Corporation. The property is designated as Parcel
1, Sheet 28 on a plat by William S. Roudabush dated December 1961 and attached to
this deed. The plat is titled "Plat showing combined survey of two tracts of land near
Pigeon Top Mountain North of Millington Albemarle County, VA." The two tracts
together are shown to contain 482.1 acres on the plat. This property is identified as Il bi
on the key.
Deed Book 375, page 31, dated December 27, 1961, conveyed 185.6 acres from Elmer
E. Burress, Jr. & Billie H. Burress and Dudley B. Gains & McPherson W. Gaines to
Rupo Corporation. The property is designated as Parcel 29, Sheet 27 on a plat by

This is identical to the land conveyed on August 23, 1911 by deed recorded in
Deed Book 150, 77. it is determined that this plat and deed served to
combine these three former tracts into one single parcel. While the deed
references the three former parcels, it describes the property as a singular
tract. Likewise, while the plat indicates the location of the former parcels
with light-weight dashed lines and separate deed references, these three
former parcels are shown together as Tract 2, Parcel 29 on Sheet 28.
[2b] Three: A certain tract containing 40 acres, designated as Lot 3 on a plat of
the division of the land of Susan E. Douglas recorded in Deed Book 102, page

[13] Tract No. 2:55.6 acres designated as Parcel A on plat of O. R. Randolph
dated March 5, 1965 and recorded in Deed Book 406, page 77, less 3.55 acres
conveyed to Mrs. E. Garlad Maupin by deed dated May 11, 1965 and recorded in
Deed Book 407, page 299. A plat of this parcel is recorded with this deed on
page 300.
[14] Tract No. 3:3.01 acres conveyed to John B. Dunn from Thomas M. Dunn by
deed dated June 20, 1967 and recorded in Deed Book 436, page 14. The lot is
designated as Parcel C on a plat by O. R. Randolph dated March 5, 1965.
Deed Book 439, page 143, dated January 2, 1968 conveyed four parcels from Thomas
M. Dunn to H. E. Van Der Linde. The property was designated as lots numbered 3, 4, 5
and 6 on the plat recorded in Deed Book 114, page 267 containing 4, 3, 4 and 4 acres

Page 7
plat by Roudabush dated October 23, 1967, that shows the 15 acre parcel is divided
from No.7, [3] D.B. 114, p. 267. The 15 acre parcel is now identified as Parcel 23H on
Tax Map 28. Parcel 23H is not part of this determination. The residue of No. 7 contained
39.5 acres as a result of this transaction.
Deed Book 482, page 533, dated January 29, 1971 is a Deed of Trust between Harold
E. Van Der Linde & Elizabeth Van Der Linde and Trustee. A plat by William Roudabush,
dated January 28, 1971, titled "Composite Plat of 1314.6 Acres Known as Blue Ridge
Farm Located Near White Hall Albemarle County, VA Property of Harold E. Van Der
Linde" is attached to this deed. On the basis of this plat, the County Real Estate
Department combined all of the above referenced tracts into one single parcel
designated as Parcel 1 on Tax Map 28. However, it is determined that this deed of
Trust and plat did not forfeit the separate identities of these several tracts. The schedule
of parcels included in the deed of trust separately identifies every parcel discussed in
this determination. The plat shows each of these tracts with the exception of the
individual parcels that comprised the two tracts conveyed in Deed Book 420, page 380,
dated May 24, 1966. It is determined that those two tracts contained a total of five
separate parcels on the date of recordation. [la & 1 b and 2a, 2b & 2c] There were no
off-conveyances between the recordation of this deed of trust and the adoption of the
zoning ordinance. Therefore, it is determined, that on the date of adoption of the
ordinance, the portion of Tax Map 28, Parcel 1, west of State Route 671 contained
20 separate parent parcels, each with a full compliment of development rights
depending upon the acreage.
Deed Book 738, page 388 is a dedication to the Commonwealth for road improvements
to State Route 671.

The plat of Wm. Morris Foster, dated May 4, 1987 is titled: "Plat showing Survey of
1,316.13 acres- Property of Elizabeth Van Der Linde Blue Ridge Farm White Hall Mag.
District Albemarle County, Virginia.
It is determined that this deed and plat did not serve to combine the parcels or
extinguish the associated development rights, even though the deed identifies
the subject property as the singular Tract 1 and the plat shows the perimeter
without all of the internal parcel boundaries. The Subdivision Ordinance in effect
at the time of this transaction required County approval of any plat that adjusted
a property boundary and/or the assignment of development rights. Absent such
a plat, the parcels comprising Tract 1 could not be combined and development
rights could not be assigned or extinguished.
Deed Book 1976, page 662, dated December 14, 2000 conveyed seven parcels of land
described in Schedule A attached to the deed from Arthur A. Watson Jr. and Rachel L.
Galbraith to Burning Daylight Farms, Inc. Schedule A lists 7 parcels: Tax Map16,
Parcels 7, 10A1, 10A3 & 11; Tax Map 28, Parcels 1,23D & 23H. Parcel 1, which is Tax
Map 28, Parcel I is described as follows:
"All those two certain tracts of land, aggregating 1316.13 acres, more or less ....
shown as Parcel 1 on Albemarle Tax Map 28, and more particularly shown and
described as Tract 1 containing 1228.80 acres and Tract 2 containing 87.33
acres on a plat prepared by Wm. Morris Foster, Land Surveyor, dated May 4,
1987, recorded in the aforesaid Clerk's Office in Deed Book 939, page 442."
It is determined that absent an approved subdivision Flat showing that the
parcels in existence on December 10, 1980 were combined, the separate identity
of the 20 parent parcels and their associated development rights are preserved in
this transaction.
Deed Book 1976, page 667, dated December 14, 2000 conveyed seven parcels of land
described in Schedule A attached to the deed from Burning Daylight Farms, Inc. to
Chapel Spring Farms Holdings, LLC. A boundary survey made by Gloeckner
Engineering, revised on December 13, 2000 is recorded with this deed.
The parcels included on Schedule A attached to this deed are the same as those on
Schedule A, attached to the deed recorded on page 662.
The plat is titled "Plat showing boundary survey of Burning Daylight Farm Consisting of
Two Tracts Tract I Contair~s 1,478.74 Acres "Exclusive of 0.22 Acres Cemetery Tract".
I:\DEPT~Building & Zoning\Determin of Parcel\18-1 Chapel Spring Corrected1-14-02.doc
ChapelSpring Farms
Januaw 14,2002
Page 11
Tract 2 contains 144.18 Acres..."
Again, absent an approved subdivision plat showing that the parcels in existence
on December 10, 1980 were combined, it is determined that the separate identity
of the 20 parent parcels and their associated development rights are preserved in
this transaction.
There have been no off-conveyances since the recordation of this deed.
Therefore, Tax Map 28, Parcel 1 is determined to be comprised of twenty (20)
parcels as described on the attached table of parcels with seventy-five (75)
theoretical development rights.
The parcel is entitled to the noted development rights if all other applicable regulations
can be met. These development rights may only be utilized within the bounds of the
original parcels with which they are associated. These development rights are
theoretical in nature but do represent the maximum number of lots containing less than
twenty one acres allowed to be created by right. In addition to the development right
lots, the parcel may create as many smaller parcels containing a minimum of twenty-
one acres as it has land to make.
If you are aggrieved by this determination, you have a right to appeal it within thirty days
of the date notice of this determination is given, in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of
the Code of Virginia. If you do not file a timely appeal, this determination shall be final
and unappealable. An appeal shall be taken only by filing with the Zoning Administrator
and the Board of Zoning Appeals a notice of appeal which specifies the grounds for the
appeal. An appeal application must be completed and filed along with the fee of $95.
The date notice of this determination was given is the same as the date of this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
John Shepherd
Manager of Zoning Administration

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
1401 EAST BROAD STREET
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 232t 9-2000
January 29, 2002
Dear Colleague:
As you probably know, Governor Mark Warner has instructed the Virginia
Department of Transportation (VDOT) to develop within 30 days a plan to reshape the
Virginia Transportation Development Plan (VTDP), formerly known as the Six-Year Plan.
This mandate became necessary as a result of finding the previously adopted program had
used unrealistic assumptions and revenue estimates. As Interim Transportation
Commissioner, I am working diligently with VDOT staffto carry out this task. I also want to
keep you informed of our progress along the way.
This letter represents the first status report about the ongoing effort to incorporate
financial realities, realistic cost estimates and achievable schedules into the VTDP. I am
outlining the major deliverables and tasks we have set, and providing you a look toward
upcoming activities.
This project is divided into three major components, all of which will be affected by
current- and future-year revenue projections. The three components are:
Providing appropriate funding for VDOT's Maintenance Program;
· Creating a realistic and achievable VTDP; and
· Establishing criteria to evaluate Public Private Transportation Act proposals
and long-term impact on our finances.
Because future revenue will be affected and because General Assembly actions will
further affect each of these areas, eight financial scenarios are being developed, ranging from
what we believe is the worst case to best case. Those scenarios are being reviewed to
determine which will be presented. The scenarios include:
· Using alternate (more conservative) revenue projections;
· Incorporating proposed budget impacts; and
· Anticipating potential additional budget actions.
Providing appropriate funding for VDOT's Maintenance Program
The following has been decided:
· Maintenance needs will be addressed first as stated in the Code.
· A reasonable growth factor will be projected for each year beyond FY 02.
· The planned rate of growth for the state-maintained system will be
approximately 4% annually. Urban maintenance payments to municipalities
and Arlington and Henrico counties will continue to grow according to
VDOT's maintenance cost index as provided by statute.

Creating a realistic and achievable VTDP
Regarding the VTDP, the following actions have been taken or are under way: · Districts are identifying projects that cannot be delivered in six years.
· Interstate and primary system projects that can be delivered (those that are not
funding constrained) have been prioritized based on the following criteria:
1. Projects that are under construction
2. Safety
3. Mobility (congestion and access) and Intermodal Connectivity
4. Economic Development
5. Environmental/Cultural Improvement or Compliance
· VDOT's Location & Design Division has updated project estimates based on
the most recent analysis of cost increases over project life. This information
was submitted to VDOT's Programming and Scheduling Division (P&S) last
week.
· P&S is analyzing the impact of the revised project estimates and revised
revenues on VTDP.
· If updated costs are not available, projects will be inflated by a percentage we
identified through a sample analysis.
· Districts are submitting updated final cost estimates for ongoing construction
projects this week.
·Urban System project priorities and cost estimates are being updated this
week:
· Discussions with Resident Engineers regarding the Secondary System Plan
will be held this week.
It is important to note that this is an iterative process. For example, the cost
estimating approach will be refined continuously through the development of the update of
the VTDP for consideration by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in May.
In addition, projects will be sorted by the following priorities:
· Projects under construction or projects that have been completed but not fully
funded will have first priority on available funds;
· Projects that have right of way acquired and are ready for advertisement will
have next call on available fimds;
· Projects that are ready to begin right of way acquisition will have the next call
on available funds;
· Projects at the field inspection stage will have the next call on available funds;
and
· Projects at the scoping stage will have the final call for any remaining
available funds.
Establishing criteria to evaluate Public Private Transportation Act Proposals
The following draft position papers are being prepared to help guide future agency
actions relating to the Public Private Transportation Act: · Statement on debt capacity of the agency
· Identification of minimum risk-sharing requirements
Page 3
These are due on January 31' · Relationship of existing PPTA proposals and the VTDP
· Organizational needs for administering the PPTA
In summary, VDOT staff is developing the following to reshape the plan: · Revenue projections based upon the realistic scenarios;
· A realistic assessment of future maintenance needs;
· A preliminary draft list of potential projects to be removed from the
construction phase of the plan;
· A preliminary draft list of potential projects to be removed from the feasibility
phase of the plan;
· A recommendation of the appropriate annual investment on projects in the
feasibility phase;
· A programmatic approach to the delivery of the VTDP that will achieve on
budget and on time delivery; and
· Proposed guidelines for responsible administration of the PPTA.
In addition to those deliverables, there are other items that must be developed to
ensure that thenext update ofthe ~TDP results in a realistic and achievable construction
program. We have identified several opportunities for improving various processes within
the plan that will require more time to complete. These include:
· Refining cost estimates at different stages in the development of a project. ._ _~
· Re-examining the pre-allocation process to determine if there are structural
improvements that will provide the public a greater senseof involvement and better
understanding.
· Developing management reports to assist in project and program management to
provide a better picture of financial, project and program status.
· Reviewing the reasons for missed advertisement dates and making recommendations
to improve on-time advertisement.
We recognize that this process may have to be amended as additional information
becomes available or as legislative action occurs. But we have adopted a simple goal: We
will deliver our projects on budget, on time, every time, all the time. Questions or
comments can be addressed to me or Andy Bailey at 786-2701 or by e-mail to

Highlights of region tEn's Meadowcreek
Center Spring Plant Sale April 2001
Meadowcreek Crafters and HotnJculmrists sold the plants they
nurtured from seed and craft items they hand made to the public
m late April at Region Ten's 800 Preston Avenue Site.
Meadowcreek Center Folks oversee the potential customers,
hoping the works of which they are so proud go to a good
home!
Highlights of region ten's Meadowcreek Center's 5th Annual Plant and Craft Sale
Friday, December 14, 2001 (all proceeds went directly back into the day support
programs)
Home made baked good by Meadowcreek Crafters and
Gardeners and Meadowcreek Staff were very popular at the
sale.
The sale also featured handcrafted greeting cards and
many additional handcrafted goods.
Shoppers found many bargains of live plants and herbs, hand made ornaments, baked good, cards and more while
having the opportunity to view a power point slide show of the Meadowcreek Crafters and Gardeners at work. (See
about mid-point, top of photo to see slide show image, you will note Tad is pointing at Robert on the screen.)

Albemarle High School and Monticello
High School Students have made their
first dance of the school year a benefit
dance with all proceeds to Region Ten's
Meadowcreek Center Day support
programs. In September of 2000, 753
high school students participated. In
2001, 790 plus students participated.
Having young citizens understand
community needs is awesome in terms of
awareness raising. Here are 4 of the
student officers as they planned Bailando
in the Cafeteria in September of 2001.
Employee volunteers from Lexis-Nexis Law Publishing and a couple of retired ladies spent 3 hours at Region Ten's
Meadowcreek Center creating holiday wreaths. Each volunteer made two or three wreaths and then donated their
work to Meadowcreek Center's 5th Annual Plant and Craft Sale. The wreaths were "big" ticket items and all sales
went back to the day support programs at Region Ten's Meadowcreek Center.
When raised beds were needed for the work of the
Horticulture Program for adults with mental retardation
at Region Ten's Meadowcreek Center volunteer youths from the local Eagle Scouts put in long hours and
painstaking work to create them.

Eagle Scouts will be building raised beds for the Meadowcreek Center Gardeners at Region Ten's 800 Preston Avenue
Location for the cutting garden. Raised beds were so successful at the Meadowcreek Center location for vegetable growing
that the program participants asked to have raised beds for the flowers too.

Local Gid Scouts and Brownies from Charlottesville and Waynesboro presented the colors at the
opening of Game 2. The games present an excellent opportunity for the community to come out
in support of Region Ten's efforts on behalf of persons with mental illness, mental retardation and
substance addictions issues. The proceeds and awareness raising efforts in Region Ten's
Softball VIII focussed on Region Ten's Meadowcreek Center% Day Support Programs. Softball

Re: SEIS for the Route 29 Western Bypass in Albemarle County
Dear Mr. Southard:
We are looking forward to your visit to the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors on February 6, 2002. Your
presentation is scheduled for 10~00 a.m. We appreciate your taking this time to discuss the project with us.
You requested that we suggest the questions that we hoped you could answer. Set out below is a list of
questions that we have developed. However, we do not want to im ply that you are limited to these subjects,
and we hope that we will be able to expand on any of these or other relevant issues.
We also request that you consider bringing a Federal Highway Administration official with you, particularly if
some of these questions can best be answered by someone in the FHA. We realize that the FHA isinvolved
in the process and will be making the ultimate decisions.
The following is our list of questions, divided into subject areas.
Analysis of Highway Spills
Is VDOT using a spill analysis model? If so, please provide in detail the model and methods used to
assess the impact of highway spills on the reservoir. What design storm events are being considered?
Is VDOT analyzing a worst case scenario of the discharge of a dangerous substance into the reservoir
during severe wet weather conditions? If so, what are the assumptions behind the worst case
scenario? What assumptions does the analysis make with respect to whether the emergency
response, spill containment, or treatment ~lant operations could effectively deal with the event?.
Watershed Stormwater Load Analyse~
Please give a thorough description of the methods, models, design assumptions, and data sources
being used to evaluate the impact of the project on the watershed as a whole. How is VDOT assessing
the total load of pollutants from the watershed as a whole?
Printed an recycled paper
Mr. Jeff Southard
January 22, 2002
Page 2
Will the supplemental ElS include, in addition to a watershed model, a simulation model of the
reservoir?. What watershed/hydrologic simulation models are being used by VDOT to evaluate the
impact of pollutants once they reach the reservoir?. Will the supplemental ElS compute pollutant loads
using hydrologic simulation models that can accurately account for the current and future land use
distribution in the watershed?
Will the VDOT load analysis examine highway pollutants such as soluble metals (Cu, Pb, Zn), the
family of PAHs compounds MTBE, chloride, turbidity, pesticides, and total organic carbon? How would
VDOT propose to treat these pollutants given that they are extremely difr~ult to treat with conventional
stormwater treatment practices?
Will the supplemental ElS assess the pollutant loadings that would be directly produced by VDOT's
highway management scenarios such as snow removal, de-icing compounds and pesticide application
in the right-of-way?
Stormwater Treatment System
7. What is VDOT considering for a stormwater treatment system? What annual removal rate for
sediment is VDOT assuming? What are the removal rates assumed for other poi lutants?
8. Would you please provide the plans and drawings of the proposed stormwater treatment system under
consideration? What assumptions and documentation are used to assess whether the system can
protect the reservoir from increased pollutant loadings?
Effect of ~ on Induced Growth in the Watershed from the Pro ~___~.y. Jp_~.
9. Does VDOT intend in the supplemental ElS to account for the potential for induced growth within the
watershed as a result of the bypass? Does VDOT intend to assess the impervious cover that would
be added in the watershed as a result of this and other projects?
Effectiveness of the Proposed Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
10. Will the ElS explicitly analyze how the h ighway project will influence turbidity levels in the reservoir?.
Will the analysis include development of a simulation model that can simulate the movement of
turbidity plumes through the reservoir?.
Traffic Pro|ection.s_
11. Why has VDOT decided to forego doing an updated assessment of existing traffic and traffic
projections, given that accurate information is critical to any informed analysis of the risks posed by the
bypass?
12. What projection is VDOT using as an estimate of the number of vehicles per day on the proposed
Route 29 bypass in design year 2020? What data and sources are VDOT relying upon?
13. Will VDOT take into account the additional traffic that would be added if Route 29 were to be converted
to a limited access highway?,
14. Do VDOT's traffic projections include an estimate of the potential volume of truck traffic using the
bypass?
Mr. Jeff Southard
January 22, 2002
Page 3
Cost
15.
What is the estimated cost for the stormwater, erosion and sediment control measures, and the spill
containment system?
16.
Is VDOT prepared to cover the costs of necessary measures to protect our drinking water supply,
both preventive measures and those required in the event of a spill, including the costs of additional
drinking-water treatment and interruption of service?
Alternatives
17.
What alternatives to the bypass is VDOT considering? Is VDOT considering an option for
construction of the grade separated interchanges at Hydraulic, Rio and Greenbrier Roads in lieu of
building the proposed bypass?
18.
Does VDOT believe that it is desirable to locate a four-lane, high speed highway so close to the
drinking water intake and supply for over 80,000 people?
Thank you, again, for agreeing to spend 'this time with us on February 6. The meeting will be held in Meeting
Room 241, located on the Second Floor of the County Office Building. We look forward to a productive
discussion. Should you have any questions prior to the meeting, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Ms. Thomas,
Thank you for your letter of December 18, 2001 requesting a presentation to the
Albemarle County Board of Supervisors in advance of the proposed public hearing on the
Route 29 bypass. We would be happy to come talk to the board about the current study
and its scope of work. We think the meeting scheduled for February 6, 2002 would be
more appropriate, given our research will be more complete then.
To help us make certain we address those issues that are o£greatest concern to
you and the other Board members, we would appreciate receiving a list of questions two
weeks prior to that meeting.
Sincerely yours,
Jeffrey C. Southard

RE: Route 29 Bypass in Albemarle County
Dear ~,~:~,-/,,~
I am in receipt of your letter to me dated November 30, 2001. The next to last paragraph of the letter
regards requirements of the National 'Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The paragraph, however, is
unclear and appears to have an incomplete sentence. In addition, the first CFR reference does not
reference an applicable regulation.
Please clarify your intent as to what "participate in consultation" means. I would appreciate
understanding exactly what role the County is entitled to play if this paragraph was intended to invite the
County to be a consulting party and what your expectation is for County input.
The Section 106 and Supplemental Environmen[al Impact Statement processes are very important to the
citizens of Albemarle County and it is our hope that the processes will indeed be an open and thorough
examination of all the environmental and archeological impacts of th~ proposed Route 29 Bypass. To
date, we have not been requested to play a significant role other than being asked to provide public
records. I hope that there will be an opportunity for VDOT staff to meet with County staff to discuss how
the processes will proceed and to provide a meaningful opportunity for consultation and input.
Thank you for your assistance n working with the County on this matter.

regulations of the Council of Environmental Quality (40 CFR Parts 1500,1508). The
regulations pertaining to the development for an SEIS (23 CFR 771.130) are silent on any
requirements for public hearings. Further, the guidance for Environmental Impact
Statements requires only one public hearing to be held after the Draft EIS is approved.
Thus, in this situation, there is no requirement for holding a public hearing before an
SEIS is prepared. Nonetheless, the Department and FHWA agreed to hold an additional
public hearing following the approval of the draft SEIS by FHWA. The draft SEIS will
be available for public review and comment prior to, during, and following the public
hearing. We expect to hold that hearing in late winter or early spring of 2002.
l~he Draft SEIS will be available to the public at least 30 days prior and 15 days
following the public hearing as required by FHWA and Department public involvement

was issued, the Department continued to listen to the concerns of the Design Advisory
Committee, conducted a studv on the endangered James spinymussel, and prepared a
Section 4(f) evaluation on th~ Albemarle County School Properties recreation trails. We
have not stopped accepting meaningful input nor have we dismissed reasonable
recommendations for mitigation.
We agree with you that the public has been very interested in this project. Many
opinions from the public have evolved as have the numerous design changes that have
been incorporated into the project (many in response to those opinions). As a result of
the many public hearings, informational meehngs, and design advisory committee
meetings, I think you can agree with me that the local public already has a substantial
understanding of the Route 29 Bypass project in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
Further, we have a record of the substantive comments submitted by the public with
respect to the issues being covered in the SEIS, and we are reviewing those comments
again as we prepare the SEIS. In addition, the FHWA has provided to the Federal
Register a public Notice of Intent to prepare the SEIS. The Department sent letters to all
agencies, local governments, organizations, and citizens who provided substantial
comments on this project apprising them of the scope of the SEIS and soliciting any
further input they may have. Considering the limited scope of this current study, the
steps we have provided for additional public input, and the requirements of 23 CFR 771,
we believe that a single public hearing will be sufficient for this study.
We agree with you that the SEIS should serve as an informational document with
a strong factual basis, and I assure you we are proceeding in a deliberate and precise
manner. In addition to the prior studies conducted for the EIS, we have requested copies
of reports developed for the Rivanna River Water and Sewer Authority, the Thomas
Jefferson Planning District Commission, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO),
the localities, the University of Virginia, and other agencies. Our consultants did analyze
those reports and will use pertinent information in the preparation of the SEIS. We hope
you will concur that this document is extremely thorough and .factual.
After consultation with FHWA, the Department has decided not to conduct a new
traffic study. The U.S. District Court issued its opinion that the SEIS focus on the
impacts to water quality and archaeological resources. Our engineering consultant,
Parsons Brinckerhoff conducted a thorough traffic study in 1997 that is current and
reliable with regard to the additional analyses ordered by the judge.
We, too, have questions about the Black & Veatch report that was procured by the
MPO, and wonder why it was accepted given that the storm water engineering by Dr.
Shaw Yu at the University of Virginia was incomplete and in view of the apparent flaws

you noted. Together with the critical review conducted by Mr. Schueler at the behest of
the Southern Environmental Law Center, our consultant is examining each of these
studies, as well as the dynamic research that has been conducted by Dr. Yu and will
provide a more in depth analysis of the pros and cons of each within the SEIS.
We are confident that you will find the SEIS to be a thorough, factual, and
informative document. As always, we look forward to a continuing and productive
dialogue with you and other interested citizens in the Charlottesville and Albemarle
County area concerning this bypass project. Thank you for your input.

Re:
Study of the Impacts of the Proposed Route 29 Bypass on the South Fork
Rivanna River Reservoir
Dear Mr. Southard:
It is my understanding that VDOT is planning to hold a public hearing on the Draft
Supplemental Envir:onmenta Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Route 29 Bypass in eady
March 2002. On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, we would like to request that VDOT
make a presentation to the Board some time in advance of the public hearing so that we
may ask questions and ascertain the scope of the study. We think that such a
presentation would be very helpful to ensure that the study addresses the relevant
concerns, in particular our concern abut the possible impacts of the proposed bypass on
the reservoir.
We invite you to the evening meeting of the Board on Wednesday, January 16, 2002.
Please let us know if that date would work for you. Otherwise, the next available date
would be Wednesday, February 6, 2002, some time in the afternoon. We look forward to
hearing from you.

Dear Chairman Martin:
The Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Department of
Transportation are preparing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for
the Route 29 Charlottesville Bypass in Albemarle County, Virginia. The purpose of this
document is to more'fully consider the effects of the proposedbypass on the South Fork
Rivanna River Reservoir and its watershed, and also to more fully assessthe effect of the
northern interchange of the bypass on archaeological resources. These actions are being
taken as a result of the court order issued in August by the U.S. District Court in deciding
a lawsuit filed in January 1998. The Court has prohibited further actions to advance the
project to construction until the SEIS document is completed.
The proposed project is a four-lane western bypass around a section of existing
Route 29 north of Charlottesville, Virginia, with interchanges at both ends and no
intermediate access points. The proposed bypass had been selected following detailed
engineering and environmental studies begun in the late 1980s (Route 29 Corridor
Study), and subsequently modified by changes to the end points of the bypass and other
changes that arose during detailed design work.
The scope of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement will be limited to
those specific issues identified by the Court, which include the following:
Pollutants - potential contamination of the Reservoir from automotive-related
pollutants in highway nmoff, both from the proposed project and in comparison with
impacts from other roads already in the watershed.
12-05-01 P02:ll IN
WE KEEP VIRG NIA MOVING
Page Two
Hazardous materials - potential contamination of the Reservoir from hazardous material
spills, including multiple scenarios (e.g., worst case, moderate spill, or limited sPill)
and their short-term and long-term consequences and spill response provisions.
Mitigation measures - measures incorporated into the project plans to mitigate adverse
effects to the watershed and the Reservoir.
Termini revisions - consequences for the Reservoir of the realignment of the northern
terminus that occurred following completion of the original Final Environmental
Impact Statement, and mitigation measures for those consequences.
Archaeological resources - archaeological effects of the decision to modify the
interchange at the northern terminus from an at-grade interchange to a grade-
separated interchange which leaves a larger "footprint."
As a recipient of previous environmental documents on this project, your input and
suggestions on these supplemental studies would be welcome. You will be receiving for
review and comment the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Draft
SEIS) when it is completed. Following distribution of the document, we plan to hold a
public heating in the Charlottesville area, tentatively anticipated in March 2002, so that
citizens can review the findings of the studies and offer their comments prior to
preparation of the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Final SEIS)
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the studies, or
wish to offer any comments or suggestions at this time.

The following featUres are noteworthy with respect to the Bypass and its relationship to the
Reservoir and its watershed:
· Total project length is approximately 6.2 miles. Project length within the boundaries of
the watershed is approximately 3.4 miles (roughly 55% of the total).
· The closest edge of proposed pavement to the Reservoir is approximately 530 feet.
· The closest limit of roadway embankment to the Reservoir is approximately 454 feet.
The closest distance between the water treatment plant intake and an outfall point from
which road surface runoff would discharge into'the Reservoir would be approximately
5,800 feet.
· The maximum difference in elevation between the Reservoir surface and the proposed
road surface on the section closest to the Reserv.oir is approximately 188 feet.
· The proposed Bypass right of way encompasses a total of approximately 330 acres of land,
219 of which.lie within the Reservoir watershed..
Of these 219 acres, approximately 33 acres would be paved (100% impervious) and the
remaining 186 acres would be grassed areas (10% impervious, equivalent to mowed
lawns), or landscaped areas, or would revert over time to indigenous vegetation.

BACKGR O_ UND:
The attached quarterly financial report provides information on the county's general fund and the fund balance as of
December, 2001. Also included is a bar chart based report that compares this year's revenue and expenditure data with
data from the previous year.
DISCUSSION:
($ in millions)
A. Attachment A: General Fund End-of-Year Financial Report:
1. Revenues:
The Department of Finance projects current year revenues will increase slightly over bUdget by
approximately $1.6 million (1.3%) as a result of increased tax revenues from real estate and personal
property taxes offset, unfortunately, by projected reductions in sales tax, business licenses, other local
taxes and revenues, as well as state and federal revenues.
· Real estate taxes are projected to exceed budgeted revenues by $0.884 million mainly due to an
11% estimated reassessment rate used for budgeting last January compared to the actual
reassessment rate of 12.59%. This estimate has not changed significantly since the November
report.
· Personal Property revenues are expected to be over budget in the current year by approximately
$2 million due to better sales than anticipated and higher collections in the 1st half of the year. This
is approximately $300,000 higher than reported in the November first quarter report. The
economic slowdown currently being experienced was generally expected to occur in late 2001 or
early 2002 by most economic projection models. However, the recent zero percent financing
significantly increased sales of new vehicles in late 2001, although resale values for used vehicles
have declined.
· Sales tax revenues are expected to be below budgeted estimates by $0.330 million reflecting the
general economic slowdown at the national, state and local level. Business License collections are
still expected to be down by $0.203 million.
· Utility taxes are anticipated to exceed budget by $0.189 million due to increased compliance by
providers and expanded cellular use. This is an increase of $0.134 million since the November
report.
· Other Local Taxes are projected to be $0.092 million lower than budgeted, although this is an
upward trend from the $0.256 million shortfall projected in November. This increase is mainly from
increased revenues in public service, machinery and tools and penalties and fees.
0t-30-02P12:18 RCVD
Other Local Revenues show a $0.382 million decrease from budgeted, mainly due to lower interest
rates on bank deposits.
State and Federal revenues are also anticipated to be less than budgeted by approximately $0.426
million in a number of categories, including compensation board reimbursement, social services,
recordation fees, etc. Decreased 599 funds are also included in this projection.
Use of FY01 fund balance of $3.439 million reflects budgeted fund balance for both the school
division and general government in addition to the reappropriations approved in October. See
Attachment C fu nd balance report for details.
Expenditures:
Expenditures are within appropriate levels (54%) for the first half of the fiscal year.
· Departmental expenditures are at 52% of current budget.
· Since the July 1 appropriation, additional appropriations in the amount of $t.451 have been
approved by the Board, mainly in the October reappropriation process. Approximately $1.1 million
was distributed to various departmental projects and $0.386 million was transferred to the CIP.
· The $40,000 reduction in the non-departmental line reflects a transfer from the Board's contingency
fund for Lewis and Clarke, Mclntire Skate Park, Esmont Senior Nutrition program and the special
December election.
Revised Revenues less Revised Expenditures (yellow boxes in right hand corner):
· Revised revenues less expenditures show $1.604 million in unobligated revenues by the end of this
current fiscal year (June 30, 2002) based on staff estimates as of December 31 ar. This estimate
is $0.435 million higher than the estimated variance in the first quarter November report of $1.169
million.
· Available Fund Balance as of 12/31/01 is $0.502 million as a result of the full allocation of FY01
end-of-the-year revenues and expenditure savings approved by the Board at the October 3rd
meeting, which brought the fund balance down to $0, plus a final audit adjustment of $0.502 million
to the 6130101 end of the year balance (see the Fund Balance report for details).
· If projected revenues are realized, $2.105 million in "Projected Unobligated Funds" could be
available at the end of the current fiscal year for contingencies, capital projects or other one-time
needs which might be identified in upcoming budget worksessions.
Attachment B: Annual Budget Comparison Report as of September 30, 2001
This bar-chart-based report tracks changes in revenue and expenditure changes uver time:
Revenues:
· Revenues from real estate property taxes in the current year are antici pated to increase over last year
by $6.2 million. Personal property taxes are shown to decrease from last year by approximately $2.9
million, which reflects the transfer of local PPRT revenues to the state revenue category.
· Revenues from sales taxes, utility taxes, and the meals tax remain fairly level, while business licenses,
other local taxes and other local revenues show a decline over the prior year.
· State revenues show an increase over the prior year due to PPTR, while federal revenues show only
a slight increase.
Expenditures:
This report shows increases in FY01/02 over FY00/01 in administration, public safety, public works, human
development and community development, while the judicial and parks and recreational areas reflect fairly
level funding. The non-departmental increase reflects the increased transfers to the capital and debt
service functions. The revised column increases for Adm nistration, Public Safety, Public Works and
Community Development reflect the reappropriations in those functional areas approved by the Board in
October.
Attachment C: Fund Balance Report,
T-~his report indicates that the County:
1. Has a final audited FY01 balance of $18.944 million;
2. Appropriated $3.439 million, which consists of $2.069 million in projects approved during the budget
worksession and $0.254 million in outstanding purchase orders, $0.997 in FY01 uncompleted projects and
$0.118 million in FY01 expenditure savings for FY02 requested projects in the operating and capital budgets,
all of which were approved during the October reappropriation process. An additional $1,000 was appropriated
to the Region Ten Youth Summit.
3. Committed $2.003 million in FY01 revenue and expenditure savings to two reserve funds: $1.557 million to the
capital reserve fund and $0.446 million to a landfill reserve leaving a net fund balance of $13.502 million.
4. Committed to maintain a minimum fund balance of $13 million for cash liquidity purposes. The $13 million
remains within the County's financial policy of maintaining a fund balance "equal to or no less than 8% of the
County's General Fund plus School Fund."
Fiscal Impact Discussion. h~H nn ~ Januarv 17th Department of Finance report, which looks at
1. Current Year Rever~ue Estimates are ~w_v._.~. .... ,~ i~,,~,-otors ~leaned from the first half of the year
FYOlactual revenu~ collections, as well as any L,~,u ...... ~
collections. The January estimates are up slightly from the November report based on three more months of
data and a slightly more optimistic economic forecast. However, the Projected Unobligated Funds should
always be viewed as subject to change as the fiscal year unfolds, particularly since the economy is still
uncertain.
2. The higher current revenue estimates may indicate a better economy than anticipated in the November report.
This will have a positive impact on the FY 03 revenue projections, which will be reflected in the FY 03 revenue
update given to the Board also at the February 6th meeting.
3. Use of Projected Unobli.qated Funds.: As indicated on the Fund Balance Report, the available fund balance is
$0.502 million after subtracting the Board approved commitments from FY01 revenue and expenditure savings.
This amount combined with the $1.604 million in the higher than estimated revenue growth in the current year
will be available to the Board for any unanticipated one-time needs. If and when additional appropriations are
approved during the year using these anticipated revenues, the bottom line Projected Unobligated Funds
(highlighted in yellow on the report) will be reduced.
The Board's budgeted contingency fund of $0.597 million is now $411,894 after commitments to the ACE
program, Midnight Ramble, a HR position and the IDA. Use of the Board's budgeted contingency fund will not
impact the bottom line on this report, since those funds have already been appropriated in the FY02 budget.
4. Future Commitments for the Unob .qated Funds_: If the revised revenue estimates continue to hold, the $2.105
million in Unobligated Funds may also be used by the Board during the upcoming FY03 budget worksessions
to fund identified one-time projects or capital needs. The ACE program has been funded for FY02 in the
Capital Improvement Program using one-time only funds and, therefore, has no ongoing funding programmed
for FY03. If these one-time funds were used to fund the ACE program in FY03, the bottom line Projected
Unobligated Funds would be reduced to $1.455 million. Other uses for these unobligated funds may be
proposed in the County Executive's recommended budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends acceptance of the Second Quarter Financial Report for FY01/02.

Highlights: School Board Briefs - January 10 and January 24, 2002 were provided
via e-mail.
RECENT
· FY 2002 - 2003 SCHOOL BOARD FUNDING REQUEST: On January 22,
the Superintendent presented his funding request to the Board. We have been
working on our Request for Funds over the last week and will hold a public
hearing tonight beginning at 6:30 p.m. The Superintendent's Proposed Funding
Request, includes the 2% salary increase both Boards agreed upon, and required
an additional $909,000 in revenue. However, based on the net impact of the
additional $440,000 decrease in state revenue and the additional $1.32 million in
local revenue, the Superintendent's Request can be fully funded. The request
includes nearly $1 million in start-up funds (about half of which are one-time
expenses) for Baker-Butler Elementary School, which is currently on schedule.
The School Board wishes to have a joint meeting with you to discuss
compensation and benefits. The Board is concerned that the 2% salary increase
we discussed with you in November may be insufficient to meet our competitive
market based on preliminary data we have received.
PARENT COUNCIL VIDEO: The Parent Council worked with division staff
and Monticello High School students to prepare a short video about the
Division's Budget Process. This video is being used to inform the public
regarding budget issues and how citizens can be involved. The video is on file in
the School Board Office and is available to any of you who wish to see it.
FY 2001 - 02 STATE FUNDING: In the current fiscal year (2001-02), the state
revenue projection has decreased by approximately $517,000. All departments
and schools have reduced their budgets by 12.5% to address this shortfall and an
additional unforeseen increase of $300,000 for the Comprehensive Services Act.
This does make the 2002-03 budget process even more challenging.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS: At the January 10 meeting, the Board appointed
Steve Koleszar as Chairman and Diantha McKeel as Vice-Chairman. Gary
Grant was appointed as the PREP representative and Ken Boyd and Pamela
Moynihan will be serving on the' CATEC Board along with Diantha McKeel.
REVIEW OF THE CIP PROCESS: At the January 24 meeting, the Board
asked Dr. Castner to work with Mr. Tucker on a comprehensive review of the
CIP Process.
CHINESE DELEGATION: On January 27 and 28, the K-12 Education
Delegation from China visited the Albemarle County School Division. The
Chinese Ministry of Education organized the delegation with the Untied States
Department of Education sponsoring the visit. The Delegation is in the United
States until February 5, 2002. Their schedule includes Washington, D.C.,
Charlottesville and Baltimore, san Antonio, Texas, and Los Angeles. The group
is composed of elementary, middle and high school teachers, as well as local
education officials in charge o£k-12 education. While in Albemarle County the
delegation was interested in our school system's testing program, the makeup of
the student population, the responsibilities of principals including the hiring of
teachers and how we nurture and manage teachers and how we work with
parents. The Delegation visited the homes of John Baker and Diantha McKeel.
They also visited Meriwether Lewis Elementary, Henley Middle and Monticello
High Schools. We thank Mr. Baker for serving as the tour guide while they were
in Charlottesville.
FUTURE ITEMS OF INTEREST
FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION MATERIALS: The Board is considering
Family Life Education Materials which includes a presentation, VIVA Responds:
Sexual Harassment Program for Middle School. The Board will make a decision
on the VIVA presentation at the February 28 meeting.

Mr. Steve Koleszar, Chairman, Albemarle County School Board
401 Mclntire Road
Charlottesville, Virginia 22902
Dear Mr. Koleszar, School Board Members, and Citizens of Albemarle County:
With this document, i present the Proposed FY 2002-03 Funding Request. The Request
totals $99,491,841. If fully funded, it will require $909,099 more revenue than is currently
projected. The Funding Request fully reflects the direction given to me by the School Board on
November 30, which was to prepare a conservative request that maintains current programs,
includes no new initiatives unless funded through other reductions, and assumes the 2% salary
increase directed by the School Board and the Board of Supervisors on November 14. In
developing the Funding Request, I have undertaken, with staff, a thorough review of existing
expenditures in light of the adopted Division Goals and the School Board/Superintendent Priorities.
! also asked fund managers to be prepared to outline possible reductions for the Board to consider
if the revenue picture does not improve between now and the end of April, when the School
Board's Budget is finalized.
State of the School Division
I am gratified to say that the Albemarle County School Division is among the top-performing
systems in Virginia. Our students continue to demonstrate strong, and improving, levels of
achievement. The adopted Division Goals and the School Board/Superintendent Priorities provide
a solid framework for a clear focus on measurable student achievement. Albemarle County has
demonstrated a high level of accountability by publishing the Annual Progress Report and by
presenting the individual building "State of the Schools" reports. In October and November, the
Board received detailed public presentations on the data contained in the Annual Progress Report.
However. I wish to highlight the following specific areas that i believe especially indicate the quality
of our schools and the momentum of improvement of the School Division as a whole:
In 2001, 16 out of 24 schools, or 67%, met State requirements for full accreditation.
Statewide, approximately 40% of all schools have met these requirements. (While the five
middle schools were designated by the State as fully accredited, the Social Studies test
standard was not part of their testing cycle.)
On the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), the combined average verbal and math score
for Albemarle County students was 1,073, which is 53 points higher than the national
average and 62 points higher than the State average.
"We Expect Success"
· 34% of the 71% our students taking the SAT scored above 600 on the verbal section and
29% of this group scored above 600 in math. Statewide, the percentage is approximately
22%.
· In 2000-2001, 87.6% of the second-grade students were reading at or above grade level by
the end of the year, exceeding the Division goal of 85%.
· Fourth and sixth graders taking the Stanford 9 Achievement Tests in the fall 2000 posted
gains in all seven areas tested, with the largest gains occurring in math.
· The largest number of students to date was accepted in Virginia Governor's S.chools. All
nine students recommended for the academic Governor's Schools were accepted; 12 of 16
applicants were accepted in to the foreign language Governor's School; and four of the
eight applicants were accepted to the fine arts Governor's School.
These results are not an accident. They are the result of a purposeful focus of resources,
including initiatives in the areas of Literacy, Gifted Education, and mathematics, strong support
structures to assist teachers and administrators, high expectations for students, a true working
partnership with families and the community, and constant assessment of our effectiveness in
utilizing our resources to foster student achievement. For this reason, the budget development
process is a critical part of the Division's mission to promote high levels of learning for all students.
The gains we have made over the past several years have grown in large part from the Board's
energetic advocacy for the resources necessary to operate a high quality, forward-looking school
system.
Revenue Situation for FY 2002-03
Unfortunately Albemarle County and all other school divisions in the Commonwealth are
facing an uncharacteristically difficult economic situation. Because of the economic distress at the
State level, the Division had to make significant cuts in expenditures in the current (2001-02) fiscal
year to address anticipated reductions. These current year reductions further exacerbate the fact
that the State revenue projection last spring only represented a minimal increase over FY 2000-01.
For FY 2002-03, State revenue is projected to increase by approximately $773,507.
However, this level of State revenue growth is much lower than it was just two years ago. I am
especially concerned that based on recent statements by Governor Warner, State revenue
projections could worsen and the gap between my Request and projected revenue could increase.
While local revenue is projected to reflect a net increase of $1.5 million, this local increase will not
be enough to make up for the small increase in State revenue. It is evident that over the past
several years, the State has expected localities to shoulder an increasing responsibility for
education. In FY 1995-96, State revenue provided 37% of our budget. For FY 2002-03, State
funding is projected to provide.31.8% of our revenue stream.
Because of the uncertain revenue situation, difficult decisions lie .ahead of us if the revenue
picture does not improve. These decisions could result in staffing and programmatic reductions
and/or a reduced commitment to our employees. Neither of these alternatives is palatable to me
because they represent a step backward. I am hopeful that the General Assembly will work
cooperatively with the Governor to increase the State's commitment to public education. The
recent report of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission. (JLARC) points clearly to the
fact that the State is not meeting its obligations to public education based on the legal
requirements of the Standards of Quafity. I am also hopeful that the local revenue picture will
improve. We are extremely fortunate that the Board of Supervisors has increased the local
commitment to. schools even as the State commitment has faltered. However, please understand
that there are many unmet needs in Albemarle County outside of education and that these needs
compete with schoolS during the Board of Supervisors' budget process.
Context of the Funding Request
This Funding Request was developed within the following context:
A $517,000 Shortfall in State Revenue in the Current (2001-02) Fiscal year:
Because of the revenue difficulties at the State level, Albemarle County is projected to receive
$517,000 less in State funding in the current fiscal year. This shortfall would have been worse
if staff h ad not reduced last spring's State projection by approximately $200,000 in anticipation
of the weakening economic conditions. The impact of this shortfall is compounded by an
unexpected $300,000 increase in the costs of providing special education services mandated
by the Comprehensive Services Act. To address these two areas, departments and schools
implemented a 12.5% Operational reduction. A hidng moratorium on non-instructional positions
has also been implemented. The FY 2001-02 revenue shortfall caused both schools and
departments to begin this very difficult budget development cycle Without the ability to fund
many needed items. It is inevitable that these reductions and ones we may still have to make
will ultimately have a negative impact on the programs and services we provide to students and
their families.
Projected Enrollment Growth of 80 Students: This projection is lower than in previous years.
Enrollment in elementary schools is actually projected to be lower than in FY 2001-02. The
enrollment increase is expected to impact the middle and high school levels. Major growth-
related expenditures address special education and costs related to the additional space
opening at Budey Middle School next year.
Startup Costs for Baker-Butler Elementary School: The opening of the new school requires
$668,763 in new recurring expenditures for administration and operations and $537,107 in non-
recurring (one-time) costs for instructional materials and training for the school's faculty.
2% Increase in Employee Compensation: The Joint Boards directed that the budget for the
School Division and Local Government be built based on a 2% salary increase, even though
staff recommended a 3.3% increase to maintain parity with our established competitive market
based on a thorough statistical analysis of this market. I am concerned that some of the
ground gained in this area over the past several years will be lost. I am hopeful that the 3.3%
recommendation can ultimately be met as we proceed through the budget process. A 3.3%
increase would require approximately $900,000 in additional funding. During the budget
process; I would like to explore how the 3.3% increase might be attained while we monitor our
· competitive market. Doing so is certainly consistent with the sentiments expressed by the
members of the Joint Boards on November 14. The Recruitment, Selection, and Retention
Report received by the Board in December indicates that compensation isa critical factor to
maintaining a high-quality work force. This report also noted that our highest teacher turnover
occurs in the first five years of employment. Employee compensation must continue to be an
area of concern and focus for the School Division ff we are to continue to be successful.
Special Education: Beyond growth-related needs, special education continues to require rapidly
increasing amounts of money to meet legal mandates.' Unfortunately, the United States
Congress failed to pass Representative Virgil Goode's proposed bill to fully fund the federal
share of special education costs. Adoption of this legislation would have addressed the fact
that federal government only funds approximately 18% of the cost of these federally-mandated
services, rather than the 40% promised when the first federal laws concerning special
education were passed in the mid 1970s. Local costs to meet the requirements of the
Comprehensive Services Act will require both more than was budgeted in FY 2001-02 and an
estimated $400,000 more in FY 2002-03. Costs for the Piedmont Regional Education Program
(PREP), which provides services to high-need Special Education students, are also increasing.
· Other Increasinq Operational Costs: The simple cost of doing business requires increased
expenditure in a number of areas, including, among others, property and liability insurance,
refuse pickup, bus replacement, criminal background checks, and the Board's contribution to
the Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Education Center (C.A.T.E.C.)
I also want to emphasize that we continue to face the mandates of the Standards of
Learning (SOL) relative to accreditation of schools and increased graduation requirements. The
Board/Superintendent Priority to have all schools accredited by this spdng is an ambitious one, and
one I believe we can and will meet. The current tenth grade class graduating in June of 2004
faces the requirement of passing a requisite number of SOl, end-of-course tests. Maintaining
focus on these challenges is a resource issue about which we need to remain mindful as we
consider this budget.
Process to Develop Funding Request
The process to develop this Funding Request included the following steps:
· Discussion involving each individual Instr~Jctional and Support Director, Dr. Murray, Dr. Morgan,
and myself to review current and future critical areas and challenges, previous reductions and
redirection of resoumes, and possible areas for further reduction. The major points discussed
in these meetings are included in the narratives in Section C of this document.
· Discussion with the Leadership Team about critical priodty areas to be maintained and possible
areas of reduction if revenues do not improve.
· Analysis of preliminary revenue projections.
· Development of the Funding Request based on the Board's direction and discussions with the
Leadership Team and other staff.
· Identification of possible areas of reduction and the impact of such reductions.
Through this process, I benefited from the experience and wisdom of the Division's
leadership in considering options and possibilities. One thing that became increasingly clear to me
through this process is that the School Division has been extremely judicious in the use of public
resources, a fact I believe will become exceedingly clear to the Board as it proceeds through its
own budget deliberations.
Major Aspects of the Funding Request
My Funding Request includes the following major aspects:
· Maintenance of the current level of programs and services.
Level,funding of schools and departments, except in those areas in which increases must be
fncorporated to address growth or necessary operational increases in areas such as insurance,
special education, bus replacement, etc. Therefore, much of the increased cost of doing
business related to inflation is not funded. This, combined with the 12.5% operational reduction
in the. current year, will have an impact on the ability of schools and departments to meet the
needs of our students.
Reduction in budgeted amounts for mobile units because of the opening of Baker-Butler and for
bus and heating fuel to reflect lower costs than were experienced last year. Further, because
of the teaching positions that were not filled in the current year because of lower-than-projected
enrollment, the development of this Request started from fewer positions than we~-e included in
the Adopted 2001-02 Budget.
The 2% compensation increase directed by the Joint Boards, including a 2% medt pool for
classified employees and a revised teacher salary scale that provides a $777 increase at each
step below Step 30. In considering various options for the teacher salary scale, I concluded
that providing equal increases at each step would be the best way to both maintain the integrity
of the salary scale in light of the lower than recommended increase, minimize the negative
impact on the teachers at the bottom of the scale and maximize our competitive market
position.
An increase in the Board contribution for medical insurance so that no employee, regardless of
the type of coverage (individual, individual plus one, or family) will absorb any Out-of-pocket
increase. Given the minimal salary increase, both Mr. Tucker and I are concerned that any
salary increase based on the 2% directed by the Joint Boards would be more than absorbed by
the projected insurance increase, an obviously untenable situation. This increase in Board
contribution is consistent with what will be recommended for the Local Govemment Budget that
will be presented in early March.
· No new programmatic initiatives unless funded by reductions in other areas.
Identification in Fund narratives of possible areas for reduction, which will be discussed in
greater detail as department presentations are made to the Board during the Board's Budget
Work Sessions.
Conclusion
While this will be an uncertain budget year, I sincerely and fervently hope that we can, to
the greatest degree possible, maintain our program quality and our commitment to our employees,
who are the key to our past and future success. Ground that is lost during this budget will only
have to be made up dudng future budget processes. A competitively compensated, well-trained,
highly motivated workforce is essential to our current and future success. I look forward to working
with the Board and the community in the coming weeks as we consider the future of education in
Albemarle County and how our decisions will impact our children and the community as a whole.
Budget Process
The public has many opportunities to be involved in the budget process. This year, School
Board Budget Work Sessions have pre-established a~endas which are being communicated to .the
public in a variety of ways. A schedule of meetings, open to the public, follows:
· On Monday, January 28 at ?:00 p.m. at Albemarle HS in the media center, there will be a
Budget Information Session and Discussion.
· On Tuesday, January 29 at 6:30 p.m. in Room 320 of the County Office Building, the
School Board will hold a Budget Work Session focusing on overall revenues and
expenditures, school staffing, class size, and employee compensation.

FRAMEWORK FOR SUPERINTENDENT'S FUNDING REQUEST
Board Direction:
A conservative needs-based request that includes:
· Level-funding (no increases in discretionary areas) for departments and
schools.
· A 2%.salary/merit pool increase.
· Maintenance of current level of medical benefits.
No new initiatives unless funded by other reductions.
IdentifiCation of possible reductions.
Revenue Assumptions:
· $2,108,970 (3.39%) projected net increase in local revenue after non-
recurring funding provided in FY 2001-02 is removed.
· $773,507 (2.53%) projected increase in state revenue.
· Reduction in the use of fund balance by $590,000 primarily due to State
shortfalls for FY 2000-01.
· As presented, the Superintendent's Funding Request will require
$909,099 of additional revenue.
ExpenditUre Assumptions:
Funding Request is 3.44% more than the Board's Adopted FY 2001-02
Budget. This is compared to a 6.83% increase from the Board's
Adopted FY 2000-01 Budget to its Adopted FY 2001-02 Budget.
If the 3.3% recommended salary increase was funded at a cost of
$900,000, the request would increase to 4.37% over FY 2001-02
If the last phase of the Gifted Education initiative was completed (1.4
positions) and the next phases of the Literacy Specialists were funded
(4.0 positions), the request would increase by $241,331.

INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved SP 99-067 on February 9, 2000 to allow construction of professional
offices. This use required a special use permit in accordance with Section 18.17.2.2.11 of the Zoning Ordinance and
a Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA 99z14) to rezone 1.23 acres from R-4, Residential to R-10, Residential which
permits professional offices by special use permit. The site is located in the Rio Magisterial District on Hydraulic
Road [Route 743] across from Albemarle HS. The property is zoned Residential 10 (R-10) and Entrance Corridor
[ECl. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Urban Density in Neighborhood 1.
The prior staff report for SP 99-067 is provided as Attachment A. The Board of Supervisor's action letter is
Attachment B. The application for the extension with the applicant's justification is provided in Attachment C.
DISCUSSION:
Since receiwng approval from the Board of Supervisors, the applicant has been working with staffto gain approval
of the site plan for the site. The County approved the site plan (SDP 2000-149) on November 7, 2001. The site plan
is valid for the five years from issuance (November 7, 2006). The site pan is dependent upon the special use permit
(SP 99-67) and therefore it is required to have a valid special use permit in effect. The applicant is requesting for the
special use permit to coincide with the approved site plan. There will be no changes to the existing approved uses.
The County's general practice has been to extend approval for not more than the normal approval period (2 years).
Additional extension may be requested, if necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends extending the approval for two years with the same conditions. Those conditions are provided
in Attachment B.

ZMA 99-014 Hydraulic Dental Center
SP 99-067 Hydraulic Dental Center
Applicant's Proposal:
Request to rezone 1.23 acres from R-4, Residential to R-10, Residential, with proffers
and to grant a special use permit to allow professional offices. The applicant is also
requesting a waiver to be processed concurremly with ZMA 99-014 and SP 99-67,
pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 21.7.3 to permit grading and clearing in the
twenty foot buffer area. The applicant is proposing to construct approximately 12,500
square feet of professional offices. The applicant is requesting R-10 Zoning because the
R-4 zoning category does not permit professional offices. A commercial zoning category
(CO, commercial office) is not being requesting because the proximity 0fthe existing
house to the property line would not meet the setback requirements of the commercial
district. The applicant would like the option to retain the house with the development of
the site. Staff had not received the proffers from the applicant before the printing of this
staff report, but it will be available for the January 25, 2000 Planning Commission
meeting. Staff has reviewed a prelim/nary version with the applicant and the proffer will
state that, should the property not develop according to SP 99-67, then the tights to
develop the property shall revert to those permitted in the current zone, R-4.
Petition:
Request to rezone 1.23 acres from R-4, Residential to R-10, Residential, which permits
professional offices by special use permit (Attachment A) and a waiver to permit grading
and clearing in the twenty foot buffer area. The applicant is also requesting a special uge
permit (SP 99-067) in accordance with Section 17.2.2.11 of the Zoning Ordinance which
allows for professional offices in R-10 zoned areas (Attachment B). The property,
described as Tax Map 61, Parcels 36 and 36A1, contains 1.23 acres, and is located in the
Rio Magisterial Di sttict on Hydraulic ROad [Route 743] across from Albemarle High School
(Attachments C & D). The.Comprehensive Plan designates this'property for urban density
residential use in Development Area 1.
Character of the Area:
The site is located in an urban setting. There are existing medical offices to the north,
Albemarle High School to the west, and townhomes and single family detached homes to
the south and east of the site.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for compliance with the provisions of Section 31.2.4.1 of
the Zoning Ordinance and recommends approval of the Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA
2
99-014) with the proposed proffers and the Special Use Permit (SP 99-067) with
conditions.
Planning and Zonine History_:
Tax Map 61 Parcel 36 received a special use permit in 1978 for a day care center and
three rezonings were attempted.
SP-78-09 (1978) The Board of Supervisors approved a day care center. Although the day
care center is no longer in use, the special use permit is still valid. Staffwill make it a
condition of approval to revoke the day care center special use permit.
Rezoning-221 (1972) Request to rezone 16 acres fi.om R-2 to R-3. This was request was
withdrawn by the applicant.
Rezoning-324 (1975) Request to rezone 1.22 acres fi'om R-2 to B-1. The Board of
Supervisors denied this request.
Rezoning-326 (1975) Request to rezone 13.95 acres fi:om R-2 to R-3. The Board of
Supervisors accepted the applicant request for withdrawal without prejudice.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Urban Density Residential (6-34 du/ac)
in Development Area 1. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Urban
Residential (6-34 alu/ac) in Development Area 1. Under the current zoning a total of four (4)
dwellings could be located on site. Under the Comprehensive Plan Land use designation, 6
to 34 units could be theoretically allowed. However, site constraints would likely limit
development to the lower end of the recommended level of development. The property is
currently zoned R-4.
The applicant proposes to locate professional offices on the site. This site is adjacent to an
area designated for (and developed with) Neighborhood Service uses (office/service/limited
retail). As proposed, this site would be integrated with the adjacent office site. Office use is
considered an appropriate transitional use adjacent to residential areas.
ZMA-99-014:
This request is for a zoning map amendment to R-10 with the proposed proffers. The
purpose of the rezoning is to be able to utilize the professional office use, which is provided
for by special permit in the R- 10 district.
The aPplicant is seeking to rezone to R-10, and then a special use permit, in lieu of CO
(commercial/office) due to the commercial setback requirements of CO.A small comer
of the existing house, which will be incorporated into an office building, would not meet
the 50 feet commercial setback. Staffwill require appropriate screening during the site
plan process to insure this use would not be a detriment to adjacent residential properties.
The applicant has offered a proffer with this rezoning, which will limit the development
potential of the property to the existing R-4 zoning with the exception of the uses permitted
by special use permit in the R-10 district. Therefore, the impacts of this development
proposal can be reviewed with the special use permit.
SP 99-067..
STAFF COMMENT:
Regarding the office special use permit, staff will address each provision of Section
31.2.4.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors hereby reserves unto itself the right to issue all special
use permits permitted hereunder. Special use permits for uses as provided in .this
ordinance may be issued upon a finding by. the Board of Supervisors that such use
will not be of substantial detriment tO' adjaCent property.
Staff does not anticipate any substantial detriment to adjacent properties from office use,
if conditioned to generally meet commerCial setbacks. Staff recommends the applicant be
required to preserve a 50' building setbaCk for all new construction and 20'
parking/circulation setback (both from Olde Oak Court Condo's and Oak Forest):
The plan, as proposed, will incorporate an existing house into the new dental office by
constructing a 4,000 square feet addition to the existing house. A second building of
5,000 square feet, which would be 2,500 square feet on each level, will be built closer to
Hydraulic Road, roughly in line with the eXisting structure. A site plan will be required.
that the character of the district will not be chan~ed thereby,
The character of the district should not change in any manner. This is an urbanizing area
with a mix of office and institutional uses adjacent to the site. Office uses are considered
acceptable transitiOnal use adjacent to residential uses, if level of activity is appropriately
controlled. The applicant has met with the residents of adjacent residential areas to
address their concerns. The applicant has received three letters of support for this project.
These letters can be found on Attachment E.-
The main concerns dealt with drainage from a separate property and activity in an illegal
parking area. Planning and Engineering staffwill work with the appropriate landowner to
address the drainage issue. The Zoning Department will inspect will illegal parking area
and will take appropriate actions if it is not authorized: Staff has reviewed the drainage
issue with the Engineering Department. According to the topography, the mn~off from
the existing medical offices flow towards Hydraulic Road. There is a hill behind the
existing medical offices that may caUse excesSive nm-off during heavy rain, but that
4
condition has always been in place. The i~hgi~%~fig D.epartment will work with the
residents to address any of their concerns.
and that such use will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this ordinance.
Staff has reviewed the purpose and intent of the ordinance as stated in Sections '1.4, 1.5,
and 1.6. Staff f'mds no conflict with these provisions of the ordinance. (Attachment F)
with the uses permitted by right in the district.
This use will not restrict permitted uses on any adjacent property.
with additional reaulations provided in Section 5.0 of this ordinance,
These regulations do not apply to this request.
and with the public health, safe _ty and general welfare.
Staff £mds no aspect of this request that would negatively unpact the health, safety, and
general welfare of the public. VDOT's comments can be found on Attachment G.
VDOT's concerns can be addressed during the site plan process. The property is served
with public sewer and water.
This property has limited sight distance along Hydraulic Road. The adjacent owner to the
south along Hydraulic Road has not been cooperative in providing easement for sight
distance. As a result, this proposal would provide for alternative access through the
existing adjacent office complex. The applicant will also improve the site distance at the
existing Hydraulic Road entrance to the existing office complex.
Waiver Request:
The applicant is requesting a waiver to be processed concurrently with ZMA 99-014 and
SP 99-67, pursuant to Zoning Ordinance section 21.7.3 to permit grading and clearing in
the twenty foot buffer area adjacent to Old Oak Court. The waiver would permit only
grading and clearing in the buffer area as needed for the construction of the travelways
and parking area (Attachment H). The applicant has indicated that they will install
better screening for adjacent residential areas if a waiver is granted. If a waiver is not
granted, the applicant will have to install a retaining wall.
Staff opinion is that while a waiver might be warranted in this case due to the size of the
property and other on site constraints, it would be more appropriate to evaluate the
waiver request at the time of site plan submittal, when more detailed information can be
provided.
SUMMARY:
Staff supports the applicant's request for the Zoning Map Amendment with the proposed
proffers, and the Special Use Permit with recommended conditions. Staff recommends a
condition to require the applicant to meet all of the set back specifications required by
Section 21.7, Commercial Districts Generally (Attachment I). Tax Map 61 Parcel 36
received a special use permit in 1978 for a day care center. Staff will request that the
Board of Supervisors revoke this special use permit (SP 78-09).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends approval of Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA 99-014) with proffers.
Staff recommends approval of Special Use Permit (SP 99-067) with the following
conditions.
All new structure and parking shall conform to Sections 21.7.1, 21.7.2 and 21.7.3
of the Zoning Ordinance .(Attachment G).
The applicant shall provide a sight distance of 425', as required by VDOT, at the
existing entrance to the professional offices on Hydraulic Road (Route 743).
In addition to Section 4.17, all outdo°r lighting shall be arranged or shielded to
reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent
streets.
SP-78-09 for a day care center is hereby revoked.
Setbacks for new structures shall be as described in 21.7, except a waiver to
permit grading and clearing in the 20'setback 'adjacent to the parking/travelways
on the south side of the site (adjacent to Old Oak Court) is permitted for the
purpose of consu'uction of the travelways and parking. Screening shall be
provided according to section 32.7.9.8 and existing landscaping in excess of
minimum requirements will be supplemented or replaced as deemed appropriate
by the Design Planner to provide good screening for the adjacent residential
district. No portion of the permanent parking or travelways will encroach on the
20' setback.
If the existing house on site is removed and replaced with a new structure, the
new structure shall be governed by setbacks per 21.7 of the Zoning Ordinance.
7. Total buildings on site shall not exceed 14,000 square feet of floor area.
The site shall be developed in general accordance with the concept plan known as
Hydraulic Dental Center Conceptual Site Plan Sheet 1 of 1 by Muncaster
Engineering dated 12/20/99, (Attachment J). Locations of buildings, parking,
and travelways are approximate and may change but indicate the general intent
for site use and density.

Description and Justil
Project: Hydraulic Dental Center
Zoning Map Amendment Request
Request
October 8. 1999
Request
This request is to rezone two contiguous parcels, Tax Map 61-36 and 61-36A1, a total of 1.23
acres immediately adjacent to a successful dental office park, from R-4 to R-10 with a
Special Use Permit for Professional Offices valid for a period of three years.
Background
The dentists of the Hydraulic Professional Building, located on the east side of Hydraulic
Road across from Albemarle High School, have provided top quality dental services to the
community for over ten years. The center is accessed via existing commercial entrances at
both Hydraulic Road and Whitewood Road. The subject 1.23 acre property is comprised of
two parcels, the frontage portion being an undeveloped lightly wooded parcel of .59 acres
and the rear portion containing a single family dwelling with a residential driveway
exiting on Hydraulic Road. The property immediately adiacent to the south is the Old
Oak apartments, separated from the subiect parcel by its access drive to Hydraulic Road.
We understand that a key issue in previous attempts to develop the subject property was its
access at Hydraulic Road. V-DOT has indicated its opposition to an entrance on Hydraulic
Road, rendering the only options for access through either the adiacent apartment complex
or the adjacent professional offices.
The sale of the subject property is pending through a contingent purchase contract to two
dentists who currently maintain very successful practices in the adjacent dental park. The
growth of their practices has necessitated a relocation, and it is their desire to remain in
Albemarle County, in the same general location if possible. To solve access issues, the
contract purchasers have commitments in principle from the owners of the adjacent
professional parkfor access to the subject property through that park and then out to either
Hydraulic or Whitewood Road.
Justification
We believe the proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with good land use planning
and is a benefit to the community for the following reasons:
1) The apphcation represents the expansion of very successful and much needed
healthcare services, immediately adjacent to where those services are currently
provided, within the designated Growth Area;
2) The application solves a long-standing access problem for this site in a safe,
efficient manner by physically joining with the adjacent professional office park
for access to two major streets, Hydraulic and Whitewood, and eliminates an
existing residential driveway on Hydraulic Road;
3) The spaces being vacated by the applicants (who plan to 'occupy the new offices)
are planned to be filled by other dentists already practicing in those buildings, who
also need to expand. The rezoning solves both expansion needs at once;
4) The small size and geometry of the parcel is well suited to development of
professional offices and represents a good use for this site.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Description and JustificatiOn of Request
Project: Hydraulic Dental Center
~ Amendment Re_~uest
October 8. 1999
Request
This request is to rezone two contiguous parcels, Tax Map 61-36 and 61-36A1, a total of 1.23
acres immediately adjacent to a successful dental office park, from R-4 to R-10 with a
Special Use Permit for Professional Offices valid for a period of three years.
Backgi~und
The dentists of the Hydraulic Professional Building, located on the east side of Hydraulic
Road across from Albemarle High School, have provided top quality dental services to the
community for over ten years. The center is accessed via existing cornmerdal entrances at
both Hydraulic Road and Whitewood Road. The subject 1.23 acre property is comprised of
two parcels, the frontage portion being an undeveloped lightly wooded parcel of .59 acres
and the rear portion containing a single family dwelling with a residential driveway
exiting on Hydraulic Road. The property immediately adjacent to the south is the Old
Oak apartments, separated from the subject parcel by its access drive to Hydraulic Road.
We understand that a key issue in previous attempts to develop the subject property was its
access at Hydraulic Road. VDOT has indicated its opposition to an entrance on Hydraulic
Road, rendering the only options for access through either the adjacent apartment complex
or the adjacent professional offices.
ThedentistsSale who°f the subject property, is pending through a contingent purchase contract to two
currently maintain very successful practices in the adjacent dental park. The
growth of their practices has necessitated a relocation, and it is their desire to remain in
Albemarle County, in the same general location if possible. To solve access issues, the
contract purchasers have commitments in principle from the owners of the adjacent
professional park for access to the subject property through that park and then out to either
Hydraulic or Whitewood Road.
Justification
We believe the proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with good land use planning
and is a benefit to the community for the following reasons:
1) The application represents the expansion of very successful and much needed
healthcare services, immediately adjacent to where those services are currently
provided, within the designated Growth Area;
2) The application solves a long-standing access problem for this site in a safe,
efficient manner by physically joining with the adjacent professional office park
for access to two major streets, Hydraulic and Whitewood, and eliminates an
existing residential driveway on Hydraulic Road;
3) The spaces being vacated by the applicants (who plan to occupy the new offices)
are planned to be filled by other dentists already practicing in those buildings, who
also need to expand. The rezoning solves both expansion needs at once;
4) The small size and geometry of the parcel is well suited to development of
professional offices and represents a good use for this site.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

I am a resident of Oak Forest and in fact live directly behind the property
in question. My wife and I have no objections to the zoning change. I don't
see a Dentist's office as creating any additional traffic or strain on local
resources, Besides there is already an office complex in the immediate
vicinity one additional small complex would not be unwelcome. I have spoken
with Mike Mathews on a few occasions and feel I have a very good idea of the
intended development.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Dear Sirs; '
We are writing to support the request for rezoning of parcels
61-36 and 61-36A1 (across from ~Llbemarle High School - Hydraulic
Road) from R-4 to R-10 with a special use permit for professional
offices. ~
We are familiar with the dental practices of Drs. Kangur and
Knierim, who have had successful~ practices in this location for
over twenty years.
Both Dr. Kangur and Dr. Knierim would like. to continue
practicing in the location across fromA!bemarle High School but
they need larger office space. '
Dr. Kangur's office would move from 2774 Hydraulic Road to
this adjacent property requested for re-zoning. Dr. Knierim's
office would move f~om 2778 Hydraulic Road. Both Dr. Kangur and
Dr. Knierim are currently using the common entrances off Hyraulic
Road and Whitewood Road and.would Continue to use these entrances
with this new office location.
We believe that extending dental professional offices into
parcel's 61-36 and 61-36A1 would be the best utilization of this
land and would allow for the continued practices of Drs. Kangur and
Knierim across from A!bemarle High School. Extending dental
offices into parcels 61-36, 61-36A1 would fit in well with the
current offices located at 2774 2776, 2778 and 2780 Hydraulic
Road. '

The site entrance must be built to minimum commercial entrance standards and have adequate
sight distance (450') along Route 810. [t appears that adequate sight distance is on lv available on
the north side of the existing building. An adequate sight easement across the parc;l to the north
(TMP 40-12M) is required: the existing recorded sight easement across this parcel was for
residential driveway (250') and appears to be inadequar-e. A si,~ht easement mav also be required
across a small portion of the next parcel as well near the end of'~he fence.
We recommend that access to the site in front of and south of the buildinc~ be physicallv

The Airport Road widening project will impact this site. It is recommended that the applicant
coordinate with the Airport Authority and VDOT to insure the site plan is compatible with
roadway plans and site access-is incorporated into the roadway plans. Road construction is
currently scheduled to begin near the end of 2001.
Site access must occur along Deerwood Drive (Route 150 l) aligning with the-existing entrance
into the office building across the street.
The applicant is required to pay their share of traffic signal costs (including warrant study, plans.
materials and installation) at the Deerwood Drive / Airport Road intersection in the event a traffic
signal is warranted at some point in the future.
ZMA-99-13 Young America, Route 631
All development must utilize the existing entrance; two outbound lanes mav be required to
accommodate site traffic. -
The applicant is required to install or pay the full cost of traffic siznal (including warrant studv.
plans, materials and installation) at their entrance along 5"~ Street ~xtended (Route 63 I) in the'
event a traffic signal is warranted at some point in the future. We recommend the applicant pay
their share of future traffic signat costs at [-64 ramp intersections along Route 63 I.
The existing RT lane (150' x 100') must be extended to 300' x 100', and full frontage right turn
lane between existing entrance and Moores Creek along Route 631 is required. The existing LT
lane (100' x 100') must be extended to 200' x 200', which mav encroach into the Citv of

November 30. 1999
The existing driveway along Hydraulic Road (Route 743) currently serving this parcel, which is
proposed to-be closed with this rezoning, does not have adequate sight distance. Sight easement
and possibly grading, would is required to utilize this entrance.
The Hydraulic Road entrance serving the Professional Office Center does not have adequate sight
distance to the south. There is currently about 250' sight distance, and 425' is required. A sight
easement, the removal of one or two rows of shrubbery, and possible some grading is required.
ZMA-99-15 Value America. Route 649
The Airport Road widening pr~ect will impact this site. It is recommended that the applicant
coordinate with the Airport Authority and VDOT to insure the site plan is compatible with
roadway plans and site access is incorporated into the roadway plans. Road construction is
currently scheduled to begin near the end of 2001.
The Value America entrance must be located just west of the western church properrv line across
Airport Road. At this time, we recommend the entrance centerline be located at station 12+00 on
the Airport Road widening plans. This would provide about 300 meters distance to UREF
entrance and 240 meters to Deerwood Drive intersection.
We are requiring the cost of full frontage improvements along Airport Road, the cost of left turn
lane / center median for 200' x 200' left turn lane into the site, and the cost for 200' x 200' ri~oht
turn lane into the site. ~
We are requiring a temporary i00' x I00' right turn lane into the site if the site opens prior to the
completion of the Airport Road improvements adjacent to the site.
We are reqmring the applicant to install or pay the full cost (including warrant study, plans,
materials and installation) of a traffic signal if a signal is warranted at some point in the future
due to Value America site traffic only. We are reqmring the applicant to pay his share (based on
side street traffic volu.mes) of the full cost of a traffic signal if a signal is warranted at some point
in the future with other side street traffic also utilizing this intersection.
We recommend that the applicant dedicate ROW for Airport Road project along frontaze of this

We believe the waiver is justi~ed due to several factors:
1)
The site is very narrow and has approximately thirty feet of elevation change
from front to back. Such topography necessitates grading in the buffer area to
permit installation of parking and travelWays. Given the topography and The
nature o£ this specific site, sucha waiver ~ result in a better site plan and
better screening than would'be provided With aztLficial retaining wails and
existing vegetation facing tile residential district.
2)
We agree to provide screening according co section 32.7.9.8, and existing
landscaping in excess of minimum requirements will be supplemented er
replaced as deemed appropriate by the Design Planner to provide good screening
for the adjacent resident/al district. We have discussed this with Old Oak.
We worked for weeks with Planning Staff to devise a proffer statement for ~ 99-14.
That statement included language similar to this waiver request, until it was removed
on procedural grounds late on January 6th by the County attornefs office. It is due to
that action that we are now seeking the waiver instead of including it as' a pa.r; of the
ZMA/SP process as originally plarmed~ Since the waiver is an essential elemen: of our
proffered site plan; we ask that it be reviewed by the Pl~uuiug Commission at this time.

Special Use Permit Application
Modification to Existing SP 99-067
12/17/01
Project Name:
Hydraulic Dental Center
What is the Comprehensive Plan designation for this property?
Urban Density Residential, although this parcel is on the border and its exact
designation is unclear.
How will the proposed special use affect adjacent property?
There will be no change to existing approved uses. SP 99-067 is still in effect, and
it allows professional offices on the subject site. A site plan (SDP 2000-149, Final)
for the development of an oral surgery dental office was signed last month, on
November 7, 2001 by the County of .~lbemarle. The site plan would be valid for five
years from issuance, or until November 7, 2006. The site plan is specific to the use
granted in SP 99-67 and therefore is dependent upon the SP being valid and in
effect. We are requesting that the effective date of the SP 99-67 be made coincident
with the approved site plan.
How will the proposed special use affect the character of the district
surrounding the property?
There will be no ch,ange to the surrounding district or the property because the
requested use is currently permitted. The immediately adjacent parcels, 2774
Hydraulic Road and 2778 Hydraulic Road, are of identical use to the proposed use.
In fact. the applicant's current office is in the adjacent office complex at 2774.
How is the use in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance?
Since the use is currently allowed on this site, it is in complete harmony with the
intent of the zoning ordinance.
How is the use in harmony with the uses permitted by right in the
district?
This use is currently permitted on this site as stated above.
What additional regulations provided in Section 5.0 of the Zoning
Ordinance apply here?
None.

Special Use Permit Application
Modification to Existing SP 99-067

How will this use promote the public health, safety and general welfare of
the community?
The immediately adjacent properties, 2774 Hydraulic Road and 2778 HydraUlic
Road, are dental and oral surgery offices, the same use as the subject site. The
applicant's current office is at 2774 Hydraulic Road. The adjacent property owners
at 2774 and 2778 Hydraulic Road have signified their formal approval of the
proposed use by executing easements for ingress, egress, and grading to allow the
Hydraulic Dental Center to be constructed according to the applicant's approved site
plan. The approved site plan includes major improvements to sight distances on
Hydraulic Road to accommodate the proposed use, which will benefit at! users of the
common Hydraulic Road access. Architectural Review Board approval of the
modifications and of the site plans has been granted.
Describe your request in detail and include all pertinent information such
as the number of persons involved in the use, operating hours, and any
unique features of the use:
The applicant simply requesting an extension of the time already granted in SP 99-
67 for the commencement of construction of any structure necessary to the use of
such permit. The new date is requested to be November 7, 2006. This date is the
same date as the expiration of the approved site plan for developing the property.
SP 99-67 was granted at the February 9, 2000 Board of Supervisors hearing, and
since new construction is involved in building the Hydraulic Dental Center, such
construction must be commenced within two years, or by February 9, 2002, or the
permit is deemed abandoned. The applicant requests that the daie for
commencement be made coincident with the valid date of the approved site plan for
the Hydraulic Dental Center, which is five years from November 7, 2001, the date of
approval of the site plan.
The applicant has diligently pursued the establishment of the professional office use
since the date of its granting on February 9, 2000, as evidenced by the approval of
the £mal site plan for SDP 2000-149 on November 7 of this year. The site plan
design for this site was very complicated technically and legally, requiring a number
of easements and agreements for access and sight distance from adjacent
landowners, thus taking an extended period of time to be approved. The applicant
also engaged an architect, Bruce Wardell Architects, to design the oral surgery
office depicted on the approved site plan. The building design was approved by the
Architectural Review Board.
Since the site plan is valid for five years, and since the approved site plan is specific
to the use allowed under SP 99-67, the effective date of the Special Use Permit
should run concurrently with the date of the site plan.

ZTA 01-07Alley Easements and Accessory Structures
STA 01-01 Shared Driveways, Private Roads, and Alleys
Baclq~round: On August 14, 2001 and October 30, 2001, the Planning Commission discussed the zoning
and subdivision text amendments related to shared driveways and alleys. Changes to the proposed
ordinances were made based on discussion that occurred at both of those meetings. The amendments
under review are attached to this report as Attachments A & B. The need and justification for the requests
and analysis were provided in the first staff report. (See Attachment C.) The staff`report below addresses
the changes made as a result of both &the Commission meetings and a public meeting (Roundtable) held
on November 15.
Description of Modifications to Subdivision Text:
The following changes have been made to the subdivision text since the Commission last reviewed it:
· Clarified that alleys may be used by emergency vehicles even though they are private property.
· Clarified that alleys do not have to be designed for the largest emergency vehicles unless the alley is
the only way in which necessary emergency access can be provided.
· Added "alleys" to the list of accessways to which a driveway may connect.
· Added the word "alley" to the title of the standards for accessways.
· Added "alley" to the list of"r~asonable accessways" to a building site.
· Provided an opportunity for the Agent to reduce the required width of an alley if recommended by the
County Engineer.
For the Zoning Ordinance, the changes include:
· Adding all the subdivision definition changes to the zoning definitions with the following exception:
the zoning ordinance adds the statement that an alley is not an "access easement" that serves as a
private road.
· Providing an opportunity for the Planning Director to reduce the 3 foot setback for an accessory
structure from the edge of a shared driveway or alley if recommended by the County Engineer.
· Adding "alleys" to the list oftravelways that can separate two parcels of land and qualify for off-site
employee parking for industrial use. (Off-site employee parking for industrial use requires a special
use permit.)
· Adding "alley easements and rights-of-way" to the list of items to be shown on site plans.
· Adding back the statement that accessory structures must be no closer than six (6) feet from adjacent
lot lines. (This statement in the zoning ordinance was inadvertently struck from the last amendment
language.)
· Including "alleys" in the list of accessways for which adequate sight distance must be available.
· Added a statement that lot frontage is measured from a public road or private street, not from an alley.
· Clarified the location from where fi'ont and rear yards are to be measured when an alley or shared
driveway is used.
Changes to the Advertised Ordinances: Since the 11/14/01 zoning ordinance was distributed to the
public, two changes have occurred. The first change was to Section 4.6.4 with the addition of the
following statement, "If an alley abuts the rear yard, the required rear yard shall be measured from the edge
of the alley right-of-way or easement." This change was advertised and was requested by one of the
participants at the Roundtable. The second change was to the definition of the word alley. The definition
now proposed for alley is, "A form of vehicular travelway providing access to the rear and/or side lot line
of abutting properties which front public streets or private roads. An alley is privately owned...". This
change did not need to be advertised but is provided for clarity in both the proposed zoning and
subdivision text amendments.
SUMMARY:
Staff is appreciative of the efforts of the public who helped identify text needing clarification and the
additional places in the proposed amendments which should have contained references to alleys and shared
driveways. Staff has incorporated those additions as well as the changes requested by the Planning
Commission.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the text amendments as proposed in Attachments A & B.

Virginia Department of Transportation, regardless of ownership, approved as a private road pursuant to
Albemarle County Code §§ 14-232 through 14-235 or any prior ordinance regulating the subdivision of land.
Any road identified on a recorded plat as a restricted road, access road or other designation which was not

the subdivision of land is not a private road as defined herein. (Added 2-6-02)
Shared driveway. A form of vehicular access to only two lots which have frontage on a public street or an
approved private road and which are authorized pursuant to Albemarle County Code § 14-241. (Added 2-6-02)
Article II. Basic Regulations
Sec. 4.4 Visibility clearance at intersections
For protection against traffic hazards, no material impediment to visibility shall be placed, allowed to grow,
erected or maintained on any parcel so as to restrict sight distance at any intersection of any public street,
private road or driveway, or at the intersection of any alley and public street or private road, below the
minimum required by the Virginia Department of Transportation for such intersection. (Amended 9-9-92, 2-6-
02)
Sec. 4.6.1 Frontage and lot width measurements (Amended 7-20-88, 2-6-02)
Lot frontage and the minimum lot width shall be established as follows:
Except as otherwise provided in sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.6, every lot shall front on an existing public
street, or a street dedicated by subdivision plat and maintained or designed and built to be maintained
by the Virginia Department of Transportation, except that private roads shall be permitted in
accordance with section 14-514 of Chapter 14 of the Code of Albemarle. (Amended 7-20-88, 2-6-02)
Except as specifically permitted in this section, frontage shall not be less than required by the
regulations of the district in which the lot or parcel is located. (Amended 2-6-02)
Frontage on a public street cul-de-sac or on a private road cul-de-sac may be reduced
provided that driveway separation shall be in accordance with Virginia Department of
Transportation standards. (Amended 9-9-92, 2-6-02)
For a lot located at the end of an access easement, frontage shall not be less than the full
width of such easement. For a lot served by a shared driveway or alley, frontage shall be
provided along a public street or private road. (Added 7-20-88, 2-6-02)
Minimum lot width shall be at least the same distance as the frontage required for the district in which
such lot is located. The depth of front and rear yards shall be established where minimum lot width is
achievable but shall not be less in depth than required for the district in which such lot is located.
Minimum lot width shall be maintained between the front and rear yard. Lot width shall not be
reduced under section 4.6.1(b). (Amended 7-20-88; 9-9-92, 2-6-02)
Sec. 4.6.3 Lots and yards adjacent to streets, alleys and shared driveways (Amended 2-6-02)
Lots and yards adjacent to streets, alleys and shared driveways are subject to the following:
Front yards of the depth required in the district shall be provided across the full width of the lot
adjacent to the public street or private road. The depth of a required front yard shall be measured from
the right-of-way line of the public street or private road so that the building line is equidistant from the
;public street or private road right-of-way at all points. Areas in parking bays shall not be considered
as part of the public street or private road for purposes of determining front yard setback. In addition,
if a shared driveway traverses a front yard, each primary structure also shall be located at least ten (10)
feet from the edge of the shared driveway easement; if a shared driveway is concurrent with the shared
lot line of the lots served by the shared driveway, each primary structure also shall be located at least
six (6) feet from the edge of the shared driveway easement. (Amended 2-6-02)
Other yards adjacent to public streets or private roads shall have a minimum depth, equal to the
minimum front yard depth required in the district in which the lot is located. This provision shall
apply m lots in the RA or residential districts only. The foregoing notwithstanding, section 10.4 shall
apply as written and depth of individual yards to streets shall be determined by the nature of the
individual street. (Amended 2-6-02)
Street line for measurement of required yards adjacent to streets. Required yards and setbacks shall be
measured from a line equidistant from the public street or private road right-of-way line(s) at all
points. (Amended 2-6-02)
A front yard shall be measured from the right-of-way of public streets, private roads and vehicular
access easements except alley easements and shared driveway easements. (Amended 2-6-02)
Sec. 4.6.4 Rear yards on interior lots
Rear yards on interior lots shall be provided at the depth required for the district, and shall run across the full
width of the lot at the rear. The depth of a required rear .yard shall be measured in such a manner that the yard
2
is a strip of minimum depth required by district regulations with its inner edge parallel to its outer edge. If an
alley abuts the rear yard, the required rear yard shall be measured from the edge of the alley right-of-way or
easement. (Amended 2-6-02)
Sec. 4.11.2.1 Accessory structures
No structure shall be permitted in an easement in a way that adversely affects the easement. Accessory
structures shall be erected no closer than six (6) feet to adjacent lot lines or, in the case of an alley easement or
right-of-way or shared driveway easement, no closer than three (3) feet to the edge of the alley easement or
right-of-way or the shared driveway easement. The director of planning and community development may
authorize an accessory structure to be located closer to the edge of an alley easement or right-of-way if the
director determines that, based upon the written recommendation of the county engineer, the proposed design
incorporates features that assure public safety and welfare. The county engineer shall consider the provision of
adequate access to required onsite parking and/or garages, unimpeded vehicular circulation along the alley, an
adequate clear zone along the alley, and other safety issues deemed appropriate for the conditions. (Amended
2-6-02)
Sec. 5.1.39 Off-site employee parking for industrial use
In order to provide the minimum parking required by section 4.12 or to provide additional parking, off-site
employee parking may be authorized only when: (1) the provision of on-site parking is not physically feasible
or, when considering the general public interest, as opposed to the private interest of the applicant, is not
physically desirable; (2) the proposed off-site parking is limited to employee use; (3) the provision of off-site
parking does not change the character of the area surrounding the property on which the off-site parking is
located, and does not require substantial alteration to roads; (4) alternate transportation opportunities have not
eliminated the need for additional parking; and (5) the parcel on which the off-site parking is located is.either
contiguous with the parcel on which the industrial use being served is located, or if the two parcels are not
contiguous, they are separated only by a public street, private road, or alley. (Amended 2-6-02)
To insure that the review of each application for a special use permit for off-site employee parking is
consistent with this intent, each applicant shall comply with the following requirements:
The applicant shall demonstrate that additional on-site parking is not physically feasible or physically
desirable due to topographic constraints such as 'critical slopes and natural drainage features; wooded
and buffer areas; unusual configuration of the lot or remaining undeveloped area on the lot; entrance
corridor and/or landscaping requirements; stormwater management improvements; the location and
visibility of the site; and other physical features of the property.
The applicant shall demonstrate that he has made a determined effort to reduce reliance on single
occupancy vehicle use by putting in place incentives and/or employee programs to encourage
alternatives to single occupancy vehicles. Where public transit reasonably could be made available,
the applicant should demonstrate that efforts have been made to coordinate routes and times with the
public transportation service and the workforce hours.
The parking lot shall be located, designed and constructed to reduce or eliminate significant visual
impacts from all public streets, private roads and adjacent properties, and to reduce or eliminate other
significant impacts to adjacent properties resulting from vehicular noise, dust, artificial lighting, glare,
runoff, degradation of water quality and other similar disturbances.
The applicant shall submit a conceptual plan or a site plan with his application for a special use
permit. The plan shall show the approximate location of the parking lot on the property, its
dimensions, its access to a public street, its distance from the off-site parking to the industrial site, and

Draft: 01/04/02
In order to provide the minimum parking required by section 4.12 or to provide additional
parking, off-site employee parking may be authorized only when: (1) the provision of on-site
parking is not physically feasible or, when considering the general public interest, as opposed to
the private interest of the applicant, is not physically desirable; (2) the proposed off-site parking
is limited to employee use; (3) the provision of off-site parking does not change the character of
the area surrounding the property on which the off-site parking is located, and does not require
substantial alteratiOn to roads; (4) alternate wansportation opportunities have not eliminated the
need for additional parking; and (5) the parcel on which the off-site parking is located is either
contiguous with the parcel on which the industrial use being served is located, or if the two
parcels are not contiguous, they are separated only by a public street~ ora private road, or.alley.
To insure that the review of each application for a special use permit for off-site employee
parking is consistent with this intent, each applicant shall comply with the following
requirements:
The applicant shall demonstrate that additional on-site parking is not physically
feasible or physically desirable due to topographic constraints such as critical
slopes and natural drainage features; wooded and buffer areas; unusual
configuration of the lot or remaining undeveloped area on the lot; entrance
corridor and/or landscaping requirements;, stormwater management
improvements; the location and visibility of the site; and other physical features of
the property.
The applicant shah demonstrate that he has made a determined effort to reduce
reliance on single occupancy vehicle use by putting in place incentives and/or
employee programs to encourage alternatives to single occupancy vehicles.
Where public transit reasonably could be made available, the applicant should
demonstrate that efforts have been made to coordinate routes and times with the
public transportation service and the workforce hours.
The parking lot shall be located, designed and constructed to reduce or eliminate
significant visual impacts from all public streets, private roads and adjacent
properties, and to reduce or eliminate other significant impacts to adjacent
properties resulting from vehicular noise, dust, artificial fighting, glare, runoff,
degradation of water quality and other similar disturbances.
do
The applicant shah submit a conceptual plan or a site plan with his application for
a special use permit. The plan shall show the approximate location of the parking
lot on the property, its dimensions, its access to a public street, its distance from
the off-site parking to the industrial site, and shall identify how persons will be
transported or will transport themselves from the off-site parking to the building
or use. The plan shall also show all features of the parking lot, which will insure
that the parking lot will not adversely change the character of or significantly
impact, the area surrounding the property on which the parking lot is proposed,
and will impact to the least extent practicable the property on which the parking

permit, include but are not limited to:
Visual or noise barriers such as earthen berms, the existing or planned
terrain and/or vegetative screening;
Proposed construction elements, which shall include elements which will
minimize noise, light pollution, dust, glare, and runoff and which will
protect Water quality and protect trees designated to be preserved and will
result in no significant degradation to the environment;
A lighting plan which identifies the location and design of all outdoor light
structures and fixtures, demonstrates that all outdoor lights comply with
section 4.12.6.4 and demonstrates that all outdoor lights will be shielded in
such a manner that all light emitted from the fixture, either directly from
the lamp or indirectly from the fixture, is projected below the horizontal
plane of the fixture; and
Changes proposed to the entrance and public road, including any
necessary road-widening, or grading and removal of trees to accommodate
sight distance.

design standards applicable to the particular classification of street or road. In addition, the following
minimum requirements for public streets, private roads, and alleys shall apply:
4
A. Layout. Public streets and private roads in predominantly residential subdivisions shall be
designed to discourage through-traffic. Offset or jog streets shall be avoided, whenever possible.
B. Angle of intersection. An angle of intersection of not less than eighty (80)
degrees is acceptable; however, a perpendicular intersection, where practical, is preferred. The
county engineer may grant an exception to this requirement for a private road in accord with the Virginia
Deparanent of Transportation standards for public streets.
C. Right-of-way width. The right-of-way width for major highways shall conform to the widths
designated on the comprehensive plan. Except as otherwise provided, the width of all public street or private
road right-of-ways or access easements shall conform to Virginia Department of Transportation standards.
D. Cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets. Cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets shall provide a terminal
turnaround having a right-of-way radius as prescribed by Virginia Department of Transportation standards.
The permitted length of a cul-de-sac shall be determined by the agent or the commission, as the case maybe,
taking into consideration the terrain, density of development, and lot frontage.
E. Temporary cul-de-sacs. Public streets and private roads more than three hundred (300) feet
in length from an intersection, or proposed to serve more than four (4) dwelling units that terminate
temporarily shall be provided with a temporary terminal cul-de-sac having a radius as prescribed by Virginia
Department of Transportation standards. The temporary cul-de-sac shall exist until the street extensions are
accepted into the secondary system of state highways.
F. Alleys. Alleys with a right-of-way or easement width of not less than twenty (20) feet may be
provided in the rear or side of all commercial, industrial, and residential lots. The design specifications shall
be determined by the county engineer, subject to the following: (1) the alley design shall allow emergency
services vehicles such as police cars and ambulances to use the alley; and (2) an alley need not be designed to
accommodate the largest emergency services vehicles, except that if firetrucks do not have adequate access to
one or more lots from a public street'or private road, the county engineer shall require that the alley be
designed to accommodate firetrucks. The director of planning and community development may authorize an
alley to be established with a right-of-way or easement, width of less than twenty (20) feet if the director
determines that, based upon the recommendation of the county engineer, the proposed design incorporates
features that assure public safety and welfare. The county engineer shall consider the provision of adequate
access to required onsite parking and/or garages, unimpeded vehicular circulation.along the alley3 an adequate
clear zone along the alley, and other safety issues deemed appropriate for the conditions. Alley rights of way
may either be established as a privately held fee simple interest or as a privately held easement.
G. Reserved or spite strips. Reserved or spite strips restricting access to a public street, alley, or
private road shall not be permitted; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit areas for scenic planting and
landscaping where adequate access is otherwise available.

the case of a public street, to Virginia Department of Transportation standards, or, in the case of a private road,
to the standards of the county as set forth in section 14-514, throughout it length, including any distance
between the boundary of the subdivision and any existing public street. If the subdivision will result in the
potential development of fifty (50) or more dwelling units, the subdivision shall have more than one principal
means of access from an existing public street. If discharge water of a one hundred year storm could
reasonably be anticipated to inundate, block, destroy or otherwise obstruct a principal means of access to a
residential subdivision, the following shall also apply:
1. The principal means of access shall be designed and constructed so as to provide
unobstructed access at the time of flooding, subject to the requirements of section 30.3, flood hazard overlay
district, of the zoning ordinance; and/or
2. An alternative means of access which is not subject to inundation, blockage,
destruction or obstruction, and which is accessible from each lot within the subdivision shall be constructed.
I. Entrances to streets, roads and highways. Each entrance onto any public street or private
road for traffic to and from a subdivision shall be degigned and donstructed in accordance with Virginia
Department of Transportation standards. If the entrance is onto a multi-laned divided highway, an entrance
which is not directly opposite any crossover in the median of any that highway shall not be permitted within
five hundred (500) feet of the crossover except upon findings by the agent that: (i) there is no other reasonably
practicable access to the subdivision except within five hundred (500) feet of the crossover; (ii) no reasonable
means of alternative access is available to the subdivision; and (iii) the provision of an entrance within five
hundred (500) feet of the crossover will be consistent with the public health, safety or welfare.
J. Drainage. Adequate drainage control shall be provided for public streets or private roads by
installing culverts under streets; side, lead, or outlet ditches; catch basins; curb inlets; or any other devices,
including piping, as determined to be necessary by the county engineer. All of these improvements shall meet
the standards of the county or, in the event no county standards exist, Virginia Department of Transportation
standards.

ZTA 01-18 Alley Easements and Accessory_ Structures
STA 01-14 Shared Driveways, Private Roads, and Alleys
Ori_t, in and Description of Request: On April 23, 2001, Weatherhill Homes requested a ZTA
to add a definition of"alley" to the zoning ordinance. They also requested a provision be added
to the zoning ordinance to say that, "in the case of alleys, no yard requirement is necessary for
accessory structures provided there is a minimum of two off-street parking spaces for each lot".
At the time that this request was made, the Planning Department became aware that while it was
promoting the creation of alleys and use of shared driveways, the Zoning Department was
requiring front, side, and rear yard setbacks on alleys and shared driveways. The reason for this
application was the wording in Section 4.6.3 of the Zoning Ordinance that required these yards
on all access easements. The end result was the creation of greater setbacks on Development
Area lots than what the Comprehensive Plan encouraged. Looking into the issue further,
Planning Department staff realized that the subdivision ordinance makes no distinctions between
shared driveways, private roads, alleys, and access easements for lots in the Development Areas
and lots in the Rural areas.
To implement the Neighborhood Model, staff believed that modifications to the zoning
ordinance and subdivision ordinance were needed immediately. Staff took the ZTA request of
Weatherhill Homes, modified it, and included it with subdivision text amendments that are
Attachments A and Attachment B.
Applicant's Justification for the Request: Weatherhill Homes has said, "the purpose of the
alley is to hide vehicles and services. This creates a more neighborhood-oriented front yard, as
DISC proposals acknowledge. Current zoning at Parkside Village requires a 20 foot access
easement plus a 20 foot rear setback making garages 60 feet apart, which defeats the purpose of
alleys."
Staff believes that the additional changes to the subdivision ordinance are essential to promote
more efficient use of Development Area land and achieve more compact, neighborhood friendly
development. The most recent example of the need for the ordinance amendment relating to
shared driveways, SUB 01-154 Fontana Land Trust Resubdivision of Lots 163 & 164, is on the
Planning Commission's agenda for August 14. The resubdivision is for approval of a private
road for a "shared driveway" in the Development Areas. The proposed shared driveway
traverses the front of a lot to serve the adjacent lot. This arrangement avoids making severe cuts
in the slope of the adjacent lot for a separate driveway. The request for approval of a private
road, as well as dealing with excessive setbacks in the Development Areas could have been
ATTACHMENT C
avoided if the amendment was in place. Another example of the need for the ordinance
amendment is the Zoning interpretation that shared driveways along the shared lot line are access
easements requiring a separate front yard from what is really the side lot line.
Regarding alleys, accessory structures are required to meet from yard requirements if they are
noted as "access easements" or separate r.o.w.'s (interpreted as private roads) on a recorded plat.
Accessory structures cannot be placed in front yards. These requirements are antithetical to the
County's policy of promoting the use of alleys in the Development Areas.
Description of Staff Modifications: Staff developed the attached subdivision and zoning
ordinance changes to:
· Change the definition of alleys and clarify their function in a neighborhood.
· Add a definition for the term "driveway".
· Remove the term "driveway" from the term "private road".
· Add a definition for the term "shared driveway".
· Provide for circumstances when shared driveways and alleys may be provided.
· Provide for the way in which alleys and shared driveways are to be denoted on a plat.
· Remove staff involvement in the review of a maintenance agreement for shared driveways.
· Require maintenance agreements for alleys.
· Modify the maintenance agreement requirements to ensure that alleys (as well as private
roads) are to be kept free of debris or other obstructions and allow for public safety and
public service vehicles.
· Provide for more flexibility in design of alleys.
· Identify that an alley can be held in fee simple or be an easement.
· Add a statement to Table A stating that shared driveways and alleys are not private roads.
For the Zoning Ordinance, the changes include:
· Adding definitions for alley, driveway, private road, and shared driveway (the same
definitions proposed for the subdivision ordinance.
· Adding "shared driveways" to the Basic Regulations that govern lots and yards adjacent to
streets, alleys, and shared driveways.
· Identifying both public streets and private roads as the measuring point for yard requirements
(right now the ordinance just says, "street").
· Providing that primary structures be set back at least 10 feet from a shared driveway that
traverses a front yard and at least 6 feet from a shared driveway that is concurrent with the
shared lot lines.
· Clarifying language relating front yard measurements.
· Removing alley easements and shared driveway easements from application of front yard
requirements.
· Allowing for accessory structures to be erected up to 3 feet from the edge of an alley or
shared driveway easement.

ATTACHMENT C
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the text amendments as written.
Comprehensive Plan: Goals for Land Use in Designated Development Areas include
Encourage greater utilization of land in Designated Development Areas by
achieving higher gross densities for residential and non-residential
development than in the past.
· Use Development Area lands in the most efficient manner possible.
To the extent reasonable and feasible given site constraints, site development
should encourage building orientation to public streets. Parking areas do not
need to be located exclusively in front of buildings.
Make available a variety of development approaches to the developer that
encourage innovative design and reduce housing costs, including zero lot line
subdivisions and sustainable design incentives.
Lot design and residential layout should be based on a rational use of land
that reflects topographic and other physical features rather than imposing a
layout intended solely to satisfy minimum ordinance requirements.
Goals from the recently adopted Neighborhood Model include:
For building placement and scale: Consideration will be given to massing,
height, setbacks, and orientation of buildings so that these characteristics
enhance the public realm. In particular, garages will be less dominant at street
view than houses.
For alleys: Where topography permits, alleys will provide rear access to parcels,
allowing for and facilitating the provision of garages and utilities to the rear of
houses.
For site planning that respects terrain: The Neighborhood Model calls for
sensitivity to existing terrain through site design and architecture that fits into
grades.
The proposed amendments make possible the achievement of these goals for the
Development Areas.
STAFF COMMENT: With regard to the Weatherhill Homes proposed text amendment, staff
has incorporated the Weatherhill Homes concept into the larger set o£ amendments. Weatherhill
ATTACHMENT C
Homes believes that the proposed text amendments will achieve their goals of removing the
application of a front yard to the alley easement, thereby reducing the setback requirements for
accessory stmctures from alleys. Weatherhill Homes has further suggested that the
recommended 3 foot setback be eliminated altogether so that accessory structures may be located
at the easement. Staff believes that a 3 foot setback will provide 6-8 feet of distance from an
accessory structure in which maneuvering can take place outside of the travelway and in which a
car could sit in a driveway outside of the travelway.
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request:
The proposed text amendments remove unnecessary requirements relating to yards and
setbacks in the Development Areas.
The proposed amendments 'fUrther the goals of the Comprehensive Plan relating to
density, more efficient utilization of land, site Planning that respects terrain, and
promotion of the use of alleys.
Staff has identified no factors, which are unfavorable to this request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the text amendments as proposed in Attachments A & B.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: JANUARY 16, 2002
ZTA 01-10 PARKING STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DISTRICT SHOPPING CENTER.S..
Or~in and Description of ReQuest:
On July 1,2001, the $imon Property .Group requested a ZTA a change to Section 4.12.6.6.2 to
reduce parking for shopping centers zoned Planned Deve!opment- Shopping Center (PD-SC)
from 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area (GLFA) to 4.5 spaces per
t ,000.
Applicant's Justification for the Request:
The Simon Property Group, who owns the Fashion Square Mall, wants to redevelop portions of
the Mall's parking lot into additional retail space. A reduced parking requirement would enable
them to remove portions of the parking lot and replace them with buildings.
As part of their justification, the applicant supplied the staff with a series of research papers from
the Urban Land Institute. TheSe docUments, as well as other discovered by staff, indicate that a
standard of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of GLFA is in excess of the real use requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the text amendments as written.
Description of Staff Modifications:
The Planning Commission asked staff to draft an ordinance to modify and reduce the parking
standard for shopping centers in Planned Districts. As a result, staff is recommending the
following changes to the parking schedule for a "Shopping Center'~ (Section 4.12.6.6.2):
Shopping Center (Planned Development- Shopping Center District Only): F:.-:e a=-a- gnc ka*Z
minimum number of reauired narkin~ snaces shall be determined durin~ the review of each
site plan or site plan amendment and shall be based on the aq~re~ate suuare footage of the gros,~
leasable floor area of the structures within the district; according to the following schedule:
Gross ieaseable floor area
25,001 to 50.000
50,001 to 200,000
2007001 to 600,000
600,001 to 750:000
750:001 and larger
~Vlinimum number of narkin~ spaces reauired her
one thousand square feet of gross leaseable floor area
4.75
4.75
5.0
Staff's recommended changes to the Ordinance's shopping center requirement are based on
planning literature on the subject. The literature shows that the current standard of 5.5 spaces per
1,000 square feet of GLFA is too high for shopping centers and suggests a graduated parking
reduction. The logic for a graduated system is based on the following observation. In smaller
centers, the percent~ige of shoppers visiting multiple stores is smaller because the number of
stores to choose from is relatively small. The larger the shopping center, the more stores to
choose from, thus, shoppers tend to combine a single visit to the shopping center into visitations ~'~)
to multiple stores. The effect is that the businesses share the parking spaces and thus reducing
the number of parking spaces needed. Thus, the consensus in the literature is to reduce the
required parking per 1.000 square feet of GFLA as the shopping center gets larger. This rule
breaks down when a shopping center gets really large (600,000 square feet or more). These large
shopping centers start to generate a regional market due to their size, thus drawing more
customers. As a result, they need more parking.
Comprehensive Plan:
Goals for Land Use in Designated Development Areas include
· Encourage greater utilization of land in Designated Development Areas by
achieving higher gross densities for residential and non-residential
development than in the past.
· Use Development Area lands in the most efficient manner possible.
Goals from the recently adopted Neighborhood Model include:
Regulated Parking: A) By increasing the opportunities for shared parking. B)
By reducing minimum parking requirements to coincide with common usage
rather than peak usage.
SUMMARY:
Staff has identified the following factors, which are favorable to this request:
1. The proposed text amendment brings the ordinance in line with current standards
proposed in literature on the subject.
2. The propoSed amendments reduce the amount of parking required and thus reduce the
potential for overly large parking lots and decrease the amount of impervious surface
devoted to parking.
Staffhas identified no factors, which are unfavorable to this request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staffrecommends approval of the text amendment as proposed above.

BACKGROUND:
Virginia State Code Section 58.1-3222 enables a locality to provide, by ordinance, for the abatement of levies on,
buildings which are (i) razed, or (ii) destroyed or damaged by a fortuitous happening beyond the control of the ~
owner.
DISCUSSION:
County Code Section 15-1001 provides for the assessment of all new buildings substantially completed or fit for
use and occupancy prior to November 1 in the year of completion. The assessment is prorated based on the
portion of the year the building is substantially completed or fit for occupancy. Currently, however, there is no
County ordinance providing for the abatement of levies on buildings that have been razed, or destroyed or
damaged after January 1 of each year. To promote taxation equity, the ability to abate levies as provided in
Virginia Code Section 58.1-3222, should be enacted effective for the 2002 tax year. The financial impact to the
County would be minimal.
The County Attorney's office has drafted the attached ordinance based on the enabling State legislation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt the attached ordinance after the public hearing is held.

Levies may be abated on buildings which are (i) razed, or (ii) destroyed or damaged by a
fortuitous happening beyond the control of the owner. No such abatement, however, shall be
allowed if the destruction or dam age to such building shall decrease the value thereof by less
than $500. Also, no such abatement shall be allowed unless the destruction or damage renders
the building unfit for use and occupancy for thirty days or more during the calendar year. The tax
on such razed, destroyed or damaged building is computed according to the ratio whiCh the
portion of the year the building was fit for use, occupancy and enjo)Tnent bears to the entire year.
Application for such abatement shall be made by or on behalf of the owner of the building within
six months of the date on which the building was razed, destroyed or damaged.

Item 17 on Today's BOS agenda
Dear Ella and Laurie,
Please pass the following message along to each of the Supervisors
as soon as possible. This message relates to the BOS Agenda Item 17. Thank
you for your efforts.
Sara Lee Barnes
Dear Supervisors,
It came to my attention last night that there is an item on your
agenda for today's meeting that should be carefully considered, i wont to
the County Web Page looking for the specific wording for Agenda Item number
17, but unfortunately, I could not find it. As Interim Chair of the
County's Historic Preservation Committee, I would like to ask you to defer
any action on Item 17, the Abatement of Real Estate Taxes until all of the
ramifications of this item can be considered. The Historic Preservation
Committee has not had a chance to consider the wording and to consider the
potential impact on the County's historic structures. It is understandable
that a properS/owner should not have to pay taxes on a building that no
longer exists, but the concern is that this abatement could, if not worded
properly, have sedous impact on the County's historic structures.
I ask you to please defer until this can be further studied. Thank
you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sara Lee Barnes

Dear Supervisors:
Enclosed vou will find my application for the position on the Public Defender
Office Citizen A~visory Committee. I am applying for this position because I strongly
believe those who face incarceration are entitled to be represented, whether they can
afford an attorney or not. Our justice system is better served when all of our citizens £~I
they are equal before the law. and the creation of a public defenders office for
Charlottesville and Albemarle takes us a step closer to that goal.
[ look forward to ha,~Sng a chance to discuss this with you further, and thank you
for your consideration of my application.

will occur. Development certainly impacts all of the residents ofthe county. We have obvious
pressure for growth, but we also have the need to preserve the historical way of life that citizens
of Albemarle have enjoyed for generations. I realize that at this time there is serious discussion
underway about the concept of Master Planning in certah locations in the County. The
discussions will undoubtedly reoccur in other parts ofthe County at later dates. I believe that I
can contn~oute to the plan as to how development should Occur in designated growth areas and to
preserve the rural areas that many citizens of the county enjoy.

Ref- vacancy on the Development Area Initiatives Steering Committee II
Attached please find my completed Application to serve on the DISC Committee.
I have also included for your review a complete resume.
Since becoming aware of the activities, of the DISC, mostly through my
participation in the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors Government
Affairs Committee and through Robert Watson of CALAC, i have been most
interested in the activities of the Committee and the new NeighboH3ood Model. I
possess a unique combination of planning education, work with a planning
commission, real estate brokerag~ and appraisals, and development work that
would greatly assist me in workir~ with the DISC committee.
My familiarity with planning and z~ning regulations and my work with the
Albemarle County Planning and Z~ning Departments in developing The Quarries
ecoVillage would enable me to be a most valuable'member of this committee.
Please advise if you need any additional information. Thank you for your
consideration.

Addendum
Iu my opinion,the ideal candidate for Police Dept.Citizen
Advisory Committee should be a person of unquestionable
integrity,someone who has no ties to the Police Department
and yet a person who is knowledgable of Police Work.
That person is Tom Jakubowski.
During my entire life,I have never had any scrapes with the
Law. Infact,my driving record shows 5 plus points and I havent
had a ticket or an accident since 1988.I have no relatives
in the Police Dept. and I can review policies,proceedures and
budget decisions in a completely unbiased manner. I have ex-
perienced several "ride alongs" with County officers and I
SUCCESSFUlly completed the Citizens Police Academy Program.
Iwould like to serve on this committee because Ihave the time
and the desire to do so. Its an opportunity for me to give
something back to the community and hopefully I can make a
difference.

Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors:
Attached is my application for a seat on the Police Department Citizen Advisory
Committee. As a former court executive in the California court system I have extensive
experience in policies and procedures development and budget and staffing compliance
issues. Equally important, I believe, to this position is my background working w/th
police chiefs and county and state law enforcement officials in areas of mutual interest
and concern to the courts and the citizenry.
I believe I can bring a global perspective to the position and certainly an expertise in
collaborative relationship building with law enforcement. I would like to have the
opportunity to serve my community '.m an area Where I can exercise my talents and
capabilities.
I look forward to hearing from you, hopefully with an invitation to participate in the
interview process.
Sincerely,
Katherine N. Smpak

Re: Public Defender Citizens Advisory Commi~ee Appointment
Dear Ms. Bentley:
As you Imow, the Board of Supemsors will shortly be considering the appointment of
the Albemarle County representative to the Public Defender Citizens Advisory Committee.
Three applicants have applied for the appointment, William B. Harvey, Richard Armstrong, and
$~et Warren.
According to the custom and practice of the Citizens Advisory Committee, lawyers are
ineligible to serve. The original concept of a citizens advisory committee was to provide a
connection m the citizens of the communities served by the Public Defender office who aren't
lawyers. We emphatically wanted a channel of communication to the broader community
represented by non-lawyers. Ample opportunity for connection to the local legal community
exists through collegial contact with fellow members of the bar, and, on a more organized level,
through activities with the Charlottesville-Albemarle Bar Association and the Charlottesv/llc-
Alb~narle Criminal Bar Association.
While service on the Citizens Advisory Committee has fi'om the beginning been limited
to non-lawyers, this eligibility requirement unfortunately is not stated in the by-laws. The
Citizens Advisory Committee is meeting on February 5, 2002 and will correct the by-laws at that
time to reflect that only non-lawyers are eligible to serve.
Two of the three current applicants, William Harvey and Richard Armstrong, are
lawyea-s, While thc members of the Citizens Advisory Committee are very pleased that these two
applicants are interested in the work of the Public Defender office, we would ask the Board of
Supervisors to fill the current opening with the third applicant, Janet Warren, a non-lawyer. I

regret that our by-laws did not make it cleat that lawyers were ineligible to serve and will be
happy to eontgt e~eh of the lawyer applicants t~ explain the situation to them. lam sure they
would understmad.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. I would appreciate it if you would
circulate my letter To the members of the Board of Supervisors. If you or they have questions or
would like further in£orma~ion, please let me know,

Dear Mr. Brent:
Rte 2 Box 340D
Crozet, VA 22932
January 31, 2002
02-06~02P07:04 RCVD
Thank you for speaking with me on January 30. I am extremely
concerned with the water situation in our area as well as people's
attitudes regarding our water supply. In my opinion, the Albemarle
County Service Authority Board should act sooner rather than later and
place water restrictions into effect as quickly as possible.
In October 2001 the Horizon Institute for Policy Solutions held a
meeting at the University of Virginia to discuss growth. Albemarle
County developer Wendell Wood was quoted in the newspaper as saying
that-the "anti-growth crowd" was going to use water as its next issue to
stop growth and. that these people were "intellectually dishonest". That
is, Mr. Wood seems to believe that there is no shortage~ of water.
But if this developer paid more attention to the weather, took courses
in geology and hydrology to learn about water movement and retention,
and considered the tremendous impact development has made upon the
ground's ability to absorb water, he might realize that every single one
of. us should be deeply concerned about the availability of this
precious commodity.
The newspaper reported on January 30, 2002 that precipitation is down
a third or more from normal average levels in New England and the Mid-
Atlantic: states, and there is no reason to believe that these conditions are
going to improve any time soon. Surface and ground water levels are
dropping every day as water is used without being-naturally replenished.
Public officials should not wait until we have a crisis to enact restrictions
on wasteful water usage.
There are plenty of examples that make it clear that until the public
officials charged with the responsibility of overseeing our water supply
take action, many citizens will remain oblivious to the seriousness of our
drought conditions.
On January 30, 2002, I saw an employee of a grocery store on route 29
North hosing down the store's sidewalks. Large puddles stood in the
parking lot as mute testament to this frivolous (under drought
circumstances) use of water.
On December 27, 2001, The Daily Progress ran a story about a
Richmond couple whose college son built a snowmaking machine so the
family could have a white Christmas. Cranking up his machine on two
separate occasions, the young man withdrew about 1200 gallons of water
from the family's well this in spite of several years of drought in
Virginia where wells are going dry at a phenomenal rate.
Last summer and fall I witnessed numerous sprinkler systems running
in homeowner and business lawns where vanity (concern with having a
"beautiful" green lawn) ran counter to sanity (concern with having
drinking, eating, an-d-bhthffigk~i~b-r-~¥~ilfits-~)¥ --AiSd I-listen~d-t~ar we~kly
garden call-in radio program where the advice was "business as usual",
encouraging folks to plant exotic plants with exorbitant water
requirements instead of discussing xeriscaping.
It is sad but very true that many people will not change their water-
consuming ways until there is an incentive for doing so. That might take
the form of an increase in the cost of water supplied by public lines or
fines and court appearances for disregarding water restrictions even if
someone is on a well. We may not want to have "water police", but as the
above examples demonstrate, it is sometimes necessary to do the
disagreeable for the mutual benefit of everyone in our society.
The Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center issued a statement in
December 2001 that noted that November's streamflow volume into the
Chesapeake Bay from its watershed was the lowest of any November since
record-keeping began in 1937. And this is in spite of the fact that more
water than ever before finds its way to the Bay due to the huge increase in
paved areas that prevent this vital liquid from ,being absorbed into the
~f6uhd. We have a v.ery grace- s-ituat~ion on o~ttr hands. - ........
It is up to our public officials to do what has to be done in spite of the
grumbling and hardship that folks may have to endure until--and if--
conditions improve. You can rest assured that any current "hardship"
will be far less that what it will be if we should completely run out of
water. It is better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Marlene A. Condon
