committed itself to try to develop a stronger protection for the entire watershed a~
that is to be done has not yet been determined, only that the Board will work on be~
controls for the entire watershed, and soon. Mr. Lindstrom said the word "try" was
the motion.
Mr. Fisher said the boundary for the urban area has been determined, but that ~
only matter which needed to be discussed tonight. He asked if the other Board memb~

Mr. Fisher said Miss Nash had requested this discussion today because of her c¢
about the boundary line established for the Monticello Mountain area and Neighborhoc
5 south of the City. Miss Nash said she did not think that any of the area shown or
side of Route 20 below 1-64 should be included in Neighborhood 4 and that land need~
development because of this deletion be included in Neighborhood 5 instead. She al~
eliminating property on the west side of Route 742 from the industrial category. M~
asked the status of the petition for the Hillcrest PUD development. Mr. Tucker sai~
action was deferred several years ago pending completion of the AWT Plant. Mr. Fi~
from what he has heard, funding~-for Phase II of the ANT Plant is in trouble and tha?

Lindstrom did not'feel that all of the densities deleted from these maps has to be
another location because these maps already show densities which far exceed Pro-
pulation figures. This area~could be included in future planning when water and
vices are available~ Mr. Lindstrom said he could support deleting the area to the
oute 20 because of the geographical features~in that area, however, he was not
d in deleting the land to the west of Route 742. Dr. Iachetta said since it seems
further development in that area is tied to the need for public utilities, he felt
un could be added in the next update of the Plan. Mr. Fisher said the area still
road improvements to Route 6~1.
Roudabush said he had supported the Crowther~proposal for Biscuit Run and a lot of
It it was a mistake when the~Board did not approve that plan. Nobody is going to
improvements unless there is some incentive for growth. He feels that eventually
th will have to be shifted from the northern end of the County because the transports
will be unmanageable in that area. Biscuit Run i~close~ to utilities. Also, provid~
h in the southern part of the County is a good way to ease problems on the Rivanna
Dr. Iachetta agreed that'putting tNe density close to utilities is logical and
worth considering. Mr. Roudabush said it would take a developer several years of
just to get through the approval process with the County and the Highway Department.
Fisher asked that the Board return~to the question of deleting that portion of
ood 4 on the east side of Route 20. Miss Nash said Mr. James Bear, Curator of
o, was present, and asked him what affect he felt this area would have on Monticello
a the urban area. Mr. Bear said he was concerned about what might be built on Route
you turn off of Route 20. Mr. Fisher said the density shown for this area is i - 4
~nits per acre. If history continues to repeat itself, people will ask for the
llowable density which commits the County to providing roads, utilities, schools,
Roudabush said if~the Board feels committed to granting the highest density allowed
it is requ~ested, then the maximum density might as well be shown on the 'Plan maps
ime. Mr. Bear said this is the historical route out of Charlottesville and he would
~t to remain the same. Dr. Iachetta agreed that the area on the east side of Route
be deleted.
~isher said the Board should decide on the addition of the Biscuit Run area. Mr.
the owners of the Forest Lodge Land Trust, which owns all of the land south of the
~rban Area 5, submitted a PUD plan yesterday for their propoerty. What has been
would take 30 years to develop and they are only asking for the ability to make
plans. They have included in the plans a sewage treatment spur which, points right
[scuit Run and they have also developed a road scheme which they feel will solve
~e road problems in this area. Mr. Fisher said there have been citizens at Board
~o talk about the Biscuit Run area, but it was not included in the public hearing
~rch. People are present today from that area and Mr. Dure has said that the County
~as advised that the Board can act on the request. If the Board feels this is a
~t change,, the Plan can be readvertised.
~indstrom said he would offer motion to take the portion of Neighborhood ~ that is
~ute 20 and south of I-6~ out of the urban area. The motion was seconded by Miss

Mr. Lindstrom said that was not the intent of the motion. Dr. Iachetta said he
~ort the motion, but it does not answer the entire question of what should be done

~ut of the urban area, but he also had no problem with adding some of that density
area. Roll was called on the motion which passed by the following recorded vote:

tower would be constructed strong enough to add additional equipment for possible
lice, rescue squads, etc. Mr. McClenahan said petitions have been submitted to
with about 1,200 signatures favoring this radio station.
Fisher then noted receipt of a petition containing 108 signatures, presented to
of the Board regarding this application as follows:
the undersigned residents of Albemarle County, strongly urge
County Board of Supervisors to reject the proposed request of
enahan Broadcasting to construct a 298 foot FM tower on
le Yellow Mountain. We take pride in the beauty and serenity
his beautiful mountain and consider Little Yellow Mountain,
h adjoins the Blue Ridge, to be among the lovliest of God's
tions. We are greatly saddened at the thought or'the damage
property destruction that will result from the construction
his giant tower, not to mention the offensive sight that will
it from its construction. The undersigned earnestly solicit
enahan Broadcasting to refrain from this project and to
ider an alternate site if there is a real need for an FM
o station in this area."
to speak was Mr. Roger Thurston. He said he only opposes the location of the
the Chiles property, not the radio station itself. He said if another site were
here would be no opposition from surrounding neighbors.
Ralph Williams asked if the FM tower could be constructed on top of the already
AM tower. Mr. McClenahan said it could not be because it would interfere with a
iet zone" established for the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia. Mr.
asked if approval is received for the tower to be located on Little Yellow
will the AM facility also eventually be moved to that site. Mr. McC!enahan said
eration could not be moved from its present location.
to speak was Ms. Ellen Clark who said she helped get the petition in opposition
wer location circulated. She said she presently has a full view of Little
untain from her home, and would hate to see the mountain destroyed by the
on of such a tower.
Bob Suling asked why the Mint Springs Park location could not be considered as
location, since it has been more highly recommended by engineers and station
Mr. F~isher said the Board can only vote on the application before it, which is
ing the tower on the Chiles property. Mr. Henley noted that approximately four

Francis Thurston said she is an adjacent property owner and is opposed to the

the public hearing closed at 8:05 P.M. Mr. Fisher said as far as locating the
Mint Springs Park property, he could not see how a permit could be given to one
.on or individual to make private commercial use of a portion of public land,
erring a precedent and having to extend similar treatment to other citizens who
re the same needs. Mr. Fisher said if the application for the Chiles property is

said he would also like to see a legal opinion before any approval is given to lo¢

by Mr. Roudabush to deny the request to locate the tower on the Chiles property,

in Mint Springs Park provided the applicant submit a detailed plan developed in c¢
ation with the County Attorney, Planning Staff and Park Staff. Mr. Henley said hc

Miss Nash strongly voiced her opposition to placing the tower within the boundary
park, and suggested approval of the original request to place the tower on the Ch~
property. Mr. Roudabush's motion also died for lack of a second.
Motion was again offered by Mr. Henley to postpone action until May 7, 1980,
request a site plan for location of the tower in Mint Springs Park. Also, a recon
dation from the County Attorney as to what legal documents would be necessary to
this. The motion was seconded by Mr. Roudabush. Mr. Fisher said he would not su~
motion, because he was opposed to placing the tower in the park, and felt it unfa~
mislead the applicant. Dr. Iachetta said he would support the motion even though
not inclined to favor location of the tower in the park, he felt in fairness to t~
applicant all possibilities should be investigated. Mr. Lindstrom said he felt t~
location should be investigated if it could significantly reduce the impact on thc
and in turn, does not greatly affect the park. Mr. McClenahan said if the Board ~
approve a location within Mint Springs Park, he would again have to go back to thc
Communications Commission and receive their approval of the site. Mr. Fisher sai¢
motion would include the County Attorney investigating the questions of rules of
access, liability, and precedent. Roll was then called, and the motion carried bi

"November 16, 1979
Mr. Robert Tucker
Director of Planning
C~unty Office Building
Charlottesville, Virginia
22901
Dear Mr. Tucker:
As you may recall, I spoke with you on the telephone last week, when it came
attention that Renata Tosti-Noc was requesting a rezoning of her property adj
mine on Route 64 south of Charlottesville from B-1 to A-1. I want to reiter~
writing what I indicated to you over the telephone--that I am opposed to
such rezoning or to any rezoning of my property or other properties in that
area.
I have now held my property for development purposes for close to fifteen
years with the explicit intent that its use would be as business property,
given the fact that it has road frontage at the Route 64 interchange and on
both sides of Route 29 South. This intent has been reflected in its pre-
sent zoning and in the high taxes I have paid for many years.
Since, moreover, the construction of a dog kennel, which you indicated was
the intended use of the Tosti-Noc property, would make my own land less
useful, as a motel site, or for residential development, I must consider
construction of a dog kennel to constitute a nuisance and request, respect-
fully that any application to do this be denied.
I trust you will communicate with me should future actions be contemplated
which might affect the value of my property.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
(signed) Harold M. Hochman, Professor"

and 2lA. Samuel Miller District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on April 2 an
9, 1980.)
Mr. Tucker read the Planning Staff report as follows:
Request: Weekend campground for military historic meeting (Section 2-
1-25(7) Summer Camp.
Acreage: 178.592 acres
Zoning: A-1 Agriculture
Location: Property, described as Tax Map 43, Parcels 21 and 2lA, is
located on the south side of Route 601 east of its intersection with Route
676.
Character of the Area: This property is bordered on the west by the
Farmington Hunt Club. Reynard Woods subdivision is on the north side of
Route 601 on which the subject property has about 4800 feet of frontage.
Properties to the south and east are forested. Single-family development
is scattered throughout the area. The Foxfield property is largely open
pasture.
Staff~Comment: This petition is before you in an attempt to accommodate
the Company of Military Historians who desire a one-time weekend event at
Foxfield in May. Staff opinion is that this use is more appropriate to the
alternatives staff has offered in ZTA-80-01 which is also before you~tonight.
The "Albemarle Rifles" propose a re-creation of a Civil War encampment on
May 2, 3, and 4, 1980, involving 200-500 participants and their families,.
possibly drawing 500 spectators on May 3 and 4. In addition to the en-
campment, one mock battle would be held on May 3 and 4 involving muskets
and cannon.
Should the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors choose to approve
this petition, staff recommends the following conditions:
1. This special permit is issued to authorize only the activities pro-
posed for May 2, 3, and 4 as outlined by Art Beltrone in letter to
Raymond Wolf dated October 15, 1979. Dates, times and duration of
activities shall be in accordance with said letter. This special use
permit and all authority granted hereunder shall expire upon ter-
mination of such activities. Should such activities not be held these
dates, the Zoning Administrator may approve alternate dates not ex-
ceeding three (3)consecutive days;
2,Fire Official aPproval in accordance with his memo of February 28,
3. Notification of Sheriff, rescue squad, and Health Department thirty

Mr. Tucker noted that the Planning Commission, at its meeting of March 11, 19
unanimously voted to recommend approval of this special permit with the one condit
recommended by staff.
Mr. Fisher said it seemed strange that this request is for a special permit t
a residential use in a B-1 zone, rather than requesting a rezoning of the property
Tucker said this was done because with a special permit the County can place condi
the type of use proposed; if it were rezoned to an R-3 density, unless the applica
to proffer, there would be no County control over the development. Mr. Fisher the
how the Planning Commission could approve this request for a residential use if it
zoned for such use. Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission has approved the subd
plat. Mr. Fisher commented that this seemed to be an awkward way to go about this
cedure.
Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing opened. Mr. Tom Sinclair, representi~
applicant said he had nothing to add to the presentation. No one else from the p~
wished to speak either for or against this application, and Mr. Fisher declared th
hearing closed.
Mr. Fisher asked Mr. Tucker if the condition intended to limit the number of

there will only be 19 dwelling units. Mr. Lindstrom asked if this zoning is reco8

Fisher asked about water, sewer and road ~facilities. Mr. Tucker said the road pls
in the process of being approved at the present time. He said the Highway Depart~
approved the plans subject to some additional conditions that Mr. S. W. Heischman
have to meet. Mr. Tucker said Mr. Heischman may have to come before the Board of
visors and proffer a certain density for this land. He added that the Highway De~
will only accept this road into the State system if the capacity is limited or.thc
built to the ultimate capacity. Mr. Tucker noted that public water and sewer are
Mr. Fisher said the question of roads should be satisfactorily answered at t~
zoning stage, and that another condition should be considered to assure this propc

approve this request, he would like to suggest the following wording for a second
ition: "Commonwealth Drive along the frontage of this property, shall be accepted
the State Highway System, or bonded by the developer to insure such acceptance prJ
occupancy of any units". Mr. Roudabush said a similar condition is already on thc
division plat. Mr. Fisher said he felt it would be a stronger statement if it is
the special permit. Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta, seconded by Mr. Lind

f Comment: Approval of this petition would bring the existing cemetery

he Zoning Ordinance in regard to possible conditions of approval and
d no language explicit to facade treatment, though provision is made
the requirement of landscaping, screening, and buffering. In the
oleum site plan approval, one condition dealt with staff approval of
scaping. Due to the site plan appeal the Board may desire to approve
ublic meeting the landscaping plan for screening from surrounding
s. (Landscape screening would be effective for properties to the south

Soils: In this area, the soil is deep and well drained; permeability is
moderate, and the available water capacity is high. Bedrock is usually
deeper than 60 inches. The subsoil has a low shrink-swell potential.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendation: Critical slopes.
Type Utilities: No public facilities are available.
Staff Comments: Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation re-
commends that no additional development be allowed on this site plan which
would generate additional traffic to the cemetary. The Highway Department
notes that the existing commercial entrance to this site does not have
adequate sight distance, which can be improved, by relocating the entrance
or grading on the Michie Tavern Museum property.
Recommended Conditions of Approval: This site plan will meet the require-
ments of Article 17 and Staff recommends approval subject to:
No building permit will be issued until the following conditions are
met:
a. Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation approval
of sight distance, only if the applicant can obtain the
~.~ne~ssa~y-~right of way from the Michie Tavern Museum pro-
perry.
b. Health Department approval.
c. Grading permit.
d. Show on the site plan, the septic location for the existing
office building.

At their meeting of March 18, 1980, the Planning Commission condi-
tionally approved this site plan subject to the fallowing conditions:

Fisher then declared the public hearing opened, and first to speak was Mr. Bruce

incorporating graves can have a mausoleum. He said this logic may appeal to lawye
bureaucrats, but he did not think the general public would accept a three and one-
story building with 1,872 crypts and a crematorium on the same grassy hillside cem
that is presently there. Mr. Murray next commented about the Highway Department's
concerning sight distance, saying that the addition of the mausoleum will generate
traffic. Mr. Murray said the Comprehensive Plan designates this area to be open s
park and institutional zoning, and to approve this drastic upgrading of a non-conf
use is "flying straight in the face of the Comprehensive Plan's intent". He said
Comprehensive Plan, in Section 2, under Goals and Objectives, it reads: "we shall
historic value, including preservation of historic sites and buildings". He said
should start with Monticello, Michie Tavern and Ash Lawn, and he then requested de
both applications.
Mr. Gale Pickford, representing Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Milloux, property owners
full view of the proposed mausoleum, said that the lack of effective screening wou
devaluate his clients property. He noted Section 11-13-3 of the Zoning Ordinance
states the guidelines for issuing special permits in the A-1 zone. He said no whe
this section does it mention crematoriums or mausoleums. Mr. Pickford criticized
advertisement for this public hearing, saying that anyone unfamiliar with the tech
terms used in the County Code would not understand the meaning and intent of the a
tisement. Mr. ?ickford cited several court cases regarding petitions to change no
conforming uses, e.g. a grocery store to a drug store which was denied and a green
business to a florist shop which was denied by a Maryland court. He felt these ci
cases were mild compared to a cemetery/mausoleum/crematorium upgrading.
Mr. David Wood, representing the Stone Farm and himself as adjacent property
said the Board should fight to protect Ash Lawn and other historical p~roperties in
area. He also noted that as a cemetery lot owner at Monticello M~mory Gardens, he
was against the sale agreement he made with the cemetery to construct such a large
He said he was told upon purchasing two lots that only brass plates or small stone
would ever be used.
Mr. Frederick Nolting stated on behalf of the Board of the Thomas Jefferson M
Foundation that this would be~a very severe distraction to perhaps the most famous
attraction and historic monument in the Country. He requested denial of the appli
Mr. Greg McDonald, manager of Michie Tavern, said he opposed the constructio~
mausoleum and crematorium for two reasons; first it would be in clear view from Ro
and that development without historic significance should not be brought into this

client objected to being able to see th~s structure. He added that he agreed with
points brought out by former speakers, and requested denial.
Mr. Meek Barton of V.I.P. Tours said the tourist trade represents about the s
largest industry in Albemarle'County. He said a miniature Monticello across from
Tavern would confuse and discourage tourists coming'to see Monticello.
Mr. Williamson, speaking for the applicant, presented a series of photographs
of-~he proposed site, which indicated that the~ structure would be visible from Ro~
but only briefly and from a certain angle. He said this brief amount of visib±lit
not effect tourists visiting Monticello, because of the condition requiring furthc
screening. He said the increased capacity of the cemetery would not immediately ¢
increase in traffic, he said it would take at least thirty years for the number of
to grave sites to increase appreciably. He said Mr. Murray's historY of how this

in the County. He agreed that it is a major industry, and that some 500,000
sit Monticello ~yearly. He said it provides a major source of employment, and~he.
concerned about this area for a long time. Mr. Fisher said that although the

St. John said his opinion was based on the fact that there are already some

Re: Liebig International Site Plan, Special Permit #8016
Dear Mr. Fisher:
The purpose of this letter is to restate the Department's concern and
recommendations for improvements to Route 74~2. As indiaat~ed in ~our com-
ments to the County through both the .Special Permit response dated March
27, 1980 and the Site Plan letter dated April 2, 1980-, we recommend that
the full frontage of this property be improved placing curb and gutter at

special permit.
Route 742 is currently carrying approximately 3,000 vehicles per day and,

~nts are not done now, they will not be able to be required in the future. Mr.

~t those conditions, the Board's choice would be to either deny the Special Use

Tucker read the Planning Staff report as follows:

~tion: Peacock Hill is located in the northwestern quadrant of the Route
overpass of 1-64. Property requested for deletion is a portion of Tax
73, Parcel 29.
?f Comment: An adjoining property owner wishes to purchase 1.15 acres
a Peacock Hill, but does not want the property to remain under the
~ned community designation. This property, shown as a building lot on a
~nt Commission-approved plat, directly abuts property owned by the
~haser. Staff finds no problem with this request since the property is
;he perimeter of Peacock Hill and its deletion would not significantly
~r the overall plan. However, the number of permitted dwellings should
?educed from 195 to 194 since this was approved as a building site. if
?oved, this property would revert automatically to A-1 zoning.
?f recommends approval subject to:
The 1.15 acres shall be added to and become part and parcel of Tax Map
73, Parcel 48A;
Development of Peacock Hill shall be limited to 194 dwelling units."
Tucker said the Planning Commission at its meeting of. April 8, 1980, unanimously
recommend approval with the two conditions as stated above. Mr. Fisher asked if

I have belatedly learned that the school board position, in my opinion, is
a political position. I am not a politician and have no desire of ever
becoming one.
I apologize to you and to the citizens of the county for any inconvenience
caused by my accepting a four year term and serving less than four months.
I believe that Albemarle County had a good educational system in January
and still has a good system in April. I believe I should quit while we are
ahead or at least even.
