The meeting was called to order at 7:35 P.M. by the Chairman, Mr. Fisher. Agenda Item No. 2. Public Hearing: S?-77-78. Maclin Properties Ltd. Ptr. To operate a swim club on about 4.35 acres zoned R-3. Property on northwest side of Peyton Drive. County Tax Map 61W, Parcel 03-1, Charlottesville District. (Advertised in The Daily Progress on December 21 and December 28, 1977.) Mr. Tucker gave the staff's report: Character of the Area This area is developed in three adjacent apartment complexes (Westfield Ctnb, Tudor Court and Jefferson Towne), totalling 425 units. This existing pool and clubhouse are located within Westfield Club Apartments. Another pool is located in Tudor Court Apartments and use of it is limited to Tudor Court residents. (Westfield Club and Tudor Court are controlled by Maclin Properties.) Staff Comment The applicant desires to operate the pool and clubhouse in the Westfield Club Apartments on a membershi,p basis in order to support the expense of a full-time pool manager. Renters within Westfield Club would be automatic members and other memberships would be available to residents of the area. The swim club would be operated on a non-profit basis. Recreational area requirements for this development under the R-3 zone total 5,200 square feet. The pool and clubhouse occupy 16,800 square feet and there is an additional 15,600 square feet undeveloped area in the central court. Rental within this complex is restricted to adults, and therefore, tot lots are unnecessary. Staff recommends approval of this petition since the club approach will provide for maintenance and improve- ment of this facility. Mr. Tucker said that on December 13, 1977, by unanimous vote, the Planning Commission recommended approval of SP-77-78 with the following conditions: "Membership shall be limited to occupants of Westfield Club and not more than 100 off-premises memberships." The public hearing was opened. Mr. Maclin said this facility has been operated for five years. The apartment complex is an adult complex and there is no full-time manager for the pool, therefore it had been difficult to supervise. For the owners to pay an individual puts a burden on the investors, therefore, they had come up with the idea of bringing in a minimum number of outsiders to help cover the costs of this manager. The pool is operated as a non-profit organization. Dues would be paid to cover the cost of the manager and the assistant manager. Mr. Fisher asked the number of off-premises persons who would be using the pool. Mr. Maclin said they had not considered any specific number feeling that they wanted only enough people to help pay the cost of this manager, so when the Planning Commission asked this question, they had agreed to limit the membership to 100, although~this could involve 200 persons if everyone brought a husband, wife, or date. With no one else from the public rising to speak, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Tucker said he felt it was the Planning Commission's intention to limit the membership to OZ4 January 4, 1978 (Regular-Night Meeting) 100 individuals. Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta to approve SP-77-78 with the condition reading: "Membership be limited to occupants of Westfield Club and not more than 100 off-premises individual memberships." The motion was seconded by Mr. Roudabush. Mr. Lindstrom then suggested that a second condition be added stating that "the operation will remain a non-profit operation." This amendment was accepted by Dr. Iachetta and Mr. Roudabush, and the amended motion carried by the ~ollowing recorded vote: AYES: Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta, Lindstrom and Roudabush. NAYS: None. Agenda Item No. 3. Public Hearing: S?-77-80. Gilbert Scruggs. To locate a gift, craf· and antique store with small woodworking shop on 16.9 acres zoned A-1. Property on Route 20 North about 10 miles from Charlottesville at first junction of Routes 20 and 600. County Tax Map 48, Parcel 11, Rivanna District. Mr. Tucker gave the following staff report: Character of the Area This area is rural in nature with several single-family dwellings and the Stony Point Elementary School located nearby. This site has two single- family dwellings and a general store with gas pumps located on it. Comprehensive Plan Stony Point is identified as one of the Type I villages appropriate for limited commercial and possibly industrial development. Staff Comment SP-448 was approved for this site establishing the general store and gas pumps. This has been closed and the building is currently vacant. The applicant proposes to operate a craft shop with three employees within this hui!ding. Handmade furniture will be produced in the shop using small saws and light woodworking tools. This furniture along with quilts, weaving, and the like, and craft supplies will be retailed from the premises. The applicant proposes no outside storage and expects delivery of materials and goods to be infrequent. Staff opinion is that this small cottage-type industry would not be detrimental to the area. Mr. Tucker said on December 13, 1977, the Planning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommended approMal of SP-77-80 with the following conditions: County Engineer approval for paving specifications; railroad ties are to be used to delineate the various parking spaces. Signing limited to wall signs not to exceed an aggregate area of 30 square feet. Compliance with conditions of approval of original site plan. The gasoline pumps to be removed from the site within 90 days of the Board of Supervisor's approval of this petition. Mr. Fisher asked what would happen to SP-448 if this petition were approved. Mr. Tucker said it should be revoked. At this time, the public hearing was opened. Mr. James Gunn, the applicant, was present. He said the gas pumps have already been removed from the site. The railroad ties have not yet been put into place awaiting the outcome of this hearing. With no one else from the public rising to speak for or against this petition, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Roudabush offered motion to approve SP77-80 with the four conditions recommended by the Planning Commission and adding condition #5 to read: "Existing SP-448 is revoked with approval of this permit."

Cushman Well System and Performance Bond relating thereto. Mr. St. John said he had received correspondence from J.

It is Mr. Bailey's opinion, as well as that of the County Attorney's staff, that the terms of the bond (see minutes of December 15, 1976) have been complied with. Therefore, the County should take no action to foreclose on the bond or take any action to have this well system turned over to the Albemarle County Service Authority for operation.
