Discussion of Ridge Road in Key West Subdivision.
April 13, 1977 (Regular-All Day Meeting)
Agenda Item No. 4c.
Highway Standards.
Review of Improvements and Upgrading of Penn Park Lane to State
Mr. Robert W. Tucker, Jr., Director of Planning, was present and said the Planning
Commission reviewed Penn Park Lane after a site plan~hearing was held on Rio Heights Subdivis~
which is to be located at the southeast quadrant of Penn Park Lane and Rio Road. Citizens
in the area expressed concern about the road not being in the State System and requested
review for its acceptance. Mr. Tucker said he had researched this question and found the
easements and right of ways of various widths. Portions of the road are maintained by
different property owners and the city. The Planning Commission is requesting the Board
to review this matter for future consideration. Mr. Roudabush asked if the City had been
approached on the matter since Penn Park Lane is an access to the Moore's Creek Treatment
Plant. Mr. Tucker said no. Mr. Roudabush said the initial pavement was installed by the
City when Moore's Creek Treatment Plant was built and the City still maintains the road.
Mr. Roudabush noted the intersection would be lowered in order to get adequate site distance
once the subdivision is completed. He then offered motion to refer this matter to the
highway department for their recommendations on improvements needed for Penn Park Lane's
acceptance into the State System. He also suggested approaching the property owners for
financial contributions to upgrade Penn Park Lane and the City of CharlotteSville once this
recommendation has been made. Dr. Iachetta seconded the motion and same carried by the
following recorded vote:
AYES:

Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.

Agenda Item No. 3.
Subdivision.
Discussion of Key West Drive (formerly Ridge Road) in Key West
This item was deferred by the Board on March 9, 1977, in order for the developer, Mr.
Jack Schwab, to be present. Mr. Tucker presented the following history of Key West Drive
(formerly Ridge Road). A preliminary plat for Key West Subdivision, Section 6 was given
conditional approval by the Planning Commission on September 16, 1974. The plat showed two
proposed roads; Key West Drive and Ridgecrest Drive connecting the existing Key West Drive
with George Rogers Road Extended. At that time, the existing portion of Key West Drive was
not indicated for improvement. A final plat for Section 6 has never been submitted. The
main reason the road has not been accepted is due to its crossing of the dam. If the road
is extended and tied into George Rogers Road, which is in the system, then the State would
accept Key West Drive (formerly Ridge Road) because there would be another access instead
of crossing the dam.
Mr. Dan Roosevelt, Resident Highway Engineer, was present and gave the Highway Departmen
policy: 1) Roads over dams can be accepted if there is a second outlet for the area
crossing the dam. 2) The design of the dam must be to state standards and approved by the
department. This dam has never been reviewed by the Highway Department. 3) The road must
be built to state standards. 4) A bond would have to be posted at the time the road was
accepted into the System.
Mr. Jack Schwab was present and noted that Mr. Robert Warner, the past Resident Highway
Engineer, stated the road could never be accepted into the system for the following three
reasons: 1) The dam; 2) Sharpness of the curve on top of the hill; and 3) the grade.
Mr. Schwab said when the road was built, the plans and profiles were approved by the City
and County Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Since there are properties on
both sides of the road, he did not feel the curve radius and the sharpness of the curve
could be improved. Nor did he think it was possible for grade improvements. He then
summarized the plan for Section 6 which would include building the road to state standards
up to a point where there is a curve in front of Dr. Aldrich's house and continue with
pavement to the bottom of the hill. Mr. Schwab said then he intended to return to the
Board and plea for a relaxation of the rules in order to bring the road into the state
system.
Mr. Roosevelt had never seen the plans nor any past records of approval and was unsure
if the grade and curvature would meet highway department standards. However, he felt the
grade and curvature requirements might be waived because of the number of families needing
service but he was unwilling to recommend waiving the policy concerning roads over dams, a
second access, or the width and base requirements.
Mr. Roudabush asked if the dam could be drained until another access was built. Mr.
Schwab said he had tried to level the pond with just a holding base and one of the property
owners tried to bring suit against him for devaluating the properties in the subdivision.
Discussion then followed on the suitability of the dam. Mr. Roosevelt said the dam would
have to be reviewed and analyzed by an expert. He felt this problem was not a responsibility
of the Highway Department but for the County and the developer.
Present was Dr. C. Knight Aldrich. He expressed his concern about the safety hazards
of the road and the economic problems created by its present condition.
Mrs. Margaret Honn expressed her concern about the deteroriation of automobiles and
the reduction of property values due to the road's condition.
Mr. Fisher said the County cannot build the road.

have it accepted into the state system.
The condition of the road is a
The Board can only take action to
Mr. Alfred Gilman, a property owner, asked the responsibilities of the developer.
Mr. Fisher said the obligation is between the developer and the property owners. Mr.
Roudabush said the county's involvement in the matter is to encourage the acceptance of
the roads into the system if they meet the necessary standards. He felt the major problem
is the dam. Mr. Schwab said it is difficult to get highway department approval without
or!gi~nal plans but he is willing to test the dam. Mr. Fi.s-he~2fio~ed letter dated April 6,
1977, from the Department of Highways and Transportation indicating streets which were
eligible for acceptance in November 1974 but the proper bonds were never posted nor was
on
April 13, 1977 (Regular-All ~y Meeting)
and the Department agrees to accept these roads once they are constructed to standards.
One section has been completed but needs final inspection. Discussion then followed on
the construction of the dam and the road across same. Mr. Fisher said Mr. Schwab has
agreed to investigate the dam, work on the roads built but not in the State System and the
submittal of plans for Section 6 for a connection to the other side of the dam once Section
6 is complete. Mr. Roudabush then suggested the matter be deferred to June 8 in order to
check the construction of the dam and the status of the roads not in the system. Mr.
Schwab agreed. Mr. Roosevelt suggested someone on the County Staff work with the highway
department and the developer. Mr. Agnor concurred and recommended this be someone from
the County Engineer's office.
Agenda Item No. 4a. Four Seasons Road.
Mr. Agnor reviewed his recommendation regarding this matter (See Minute Book 15~
pages 114-115) of March 23, 1977.
(Mr. Fisher left at 10:08 A.M. to lay a wreath on behalf of the County on the grave
of Thomas Jefferson.)
Dr. Iachetta then read a letter into the record from Mr. Tom Bergin, President of the
Four Seasons Condominiums Association, urging the Board to take necessary steps to have
the Four Seasons Roads accepted into the State System. He felt the Board should take
action now to have the roads accepted into the system because he felt the County had an
obligation to correct an error of the past. He then offered motion to guarantee the
necessary $10,000 and then attempt to recover the funds from the receivorship. Discussion
then followed on the use of revenue sharing funds for this project. Mr. Agnor felt with
the federal laws imposed on the use of revenue sharing funds, the project would be too
complicated for use of these funds. Dr. Iachetta amended his motion to adopt the following
resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County,
Virginia, that $10,000 be, and the same hereby is, appropriated from the
General Fund and coded to 18C.!0 for repairs and construction of roads
in Four Seasons subdivision.
Mrs. David then seconded the foregoing motion and same carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
ABSENT: Mr. Fisher.
Motion was then offered by Dr. Iachetta authorizing the County Attorney to purse
whatever legal means are available to recover the amount appropriated to bring the roads
in Four Seasons into the state system. Mr. Roudabush seconded the motion and same carried
by the following recorded vote'
AYES: ~ Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS:~ None.
ABSENT: Mr. Fisher.
Agenda Item No. 4b. Highway Project Priorities for 1977-78.
was presented to the Board at their meeting of March 23, 1977.)
(A list of these projects
Mr. Dorrier expressed his concern about Route 717 not being included in the six year
plan. Mr. Roosevelt said the traffic count is the criteria for roads to be included in
the plan and Route 717 carried only 51 to 69 vehicles per day. Many other roads in the
County carry 100 vehicles or more a day. However, he was willing to defer or delay another
project in order to include Route 717 if the Board so desired. After some discussion on
different projects~ motion was offered by Dr. Iachetta to adopt the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia,
does hereby concur with the following recommendations of the Resident
Highway Engineer for improvements to be made in the Secondary System for
the year 1977-78:

Agenda Item No. 7. Other Highway Matters.
Mr. Roosevelt noted the drainage problem on Route 649, 1/2 mile east of Route 29 will
be correcved immediately because the easement on the south side of the road has been
purchased by the Highway Department. He also noted an outstanding drainage easement for
Airport Acres, therefore, the highway department will not accept the roads into the State
system until such is recorded. Mr. W. B. Coburn, Jr., Assistant Resident Engineer, noted
the reluctance of one property owner to sign a drainage easement. Mr. Roudabush'asked if
the water could be handled without acquiring the easement. Mr. Roosevelt said the pipe
is under the road at this point. Mr. Roudabush said the problem may have to be taken care
of by condemnation.
Mr. Roudabush noted the possibility of the primary road from Key West
to Stony Point being upgraded soon due to the right of way being obtained.
Mr. Dorrier asked that the roads in Sherwood Manor be checked as to their being taken
into the State Secondary System.
Dr. Iachetta asked that Route 643 where it crosses Powell Creek, east of the railroad
crossing, be looked at due to complaints received.
Mr. Fisher noted the ramp from Old Ivy Road east of the 250 by-pass has no yield sign
for merging traffic.
Agenda Item No. 5. Public Hearing: An Ordinance Vacating a Portion of a Designated
Public Road in Key West Subdivision, Albemarle County, Virginia: Such Public Road Known
as Kaskaskia Court Extends from Key West Drive in a Westerly Direction Along the Southern
Boundary of Lot 3, Block E, Section 1, Key West. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on
April 30, 1977 and March 6, 1977.)
This item was discussed on March 9, 1977 and referred to the Planning Commission for
their review and recommendations. Mr. Tucker was present and read the following staff
report into the record: "Kaskaskia Court was proposed and platted in May, 1959, as a
future street to potentially serve approximately 45 acres. Most of this property is being
leased by the Key West Club, Inc., as a park and recreation area (swimming pool and tennis
courts). Most of this land, with the exception of the recreational area, lies within the
flood plain area of the Rivanna River. It is the staff's opinion that the vacation of
Kaskaskia Court is proper since the development of the property which would be served by
Kaskaskia Court would not be in the best interest of the C~unty or this area. We therefore
recommend the vacation of Kaskaskia Court as recorded in Deed Book 353, page 197 and Deed
April 13, 1977 (R~u!ar-All Day Meeting)
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission recommended unanimously approval of this
vacation at their meeting held on April !2] 1977. He said the proposed ordinance which
was drafted by Mr. Rick Richmond was reviewed by the County Attorney's Office. The Resident
Engineer has indicated the possibility that Key West Drive may be accepted into the state
system. If this is done, state maintenance of the road would end at the dam and a cul-de-
sac would be required at that point. Location of a cul-de-sac at this point would take a
part of Kaskaskia Court.
The public hearing was opened. First to speak was Mr. Rick Richmond. He said the
road has never been opened, no road has been constructed thereon and there is no intention
of development of Kaskaskia Court. Lot 3 shown on the plat for Section 1 of Kaskaskia
Court, is owned by Alcova Associates, Inc., which he represents and the property to the
north of Kaskaskia Court is owned by Harry Lo Garth and under lease to Key West Club, Inc.
Mrs. C. Knight Aldrich was present and asked that the matter be deferred since the
discussion of Key West Drive which took place earlier involved having a road in the Kaskaskia
Court area. Mr. Roosevelt said he had indicated only that a turnaround might be considered
at this location. Discussion then followed on whether the properties owned by Mr. Harry
Garth and Mr. Jack Schwab had adequate access and would not be landlocked. Mr. Fisher
felt the hearing should be deferred until this question is resolved. Mr. Henley then
offered motion to defer the public hearing to June 8, 1977, as requested by the Chairman.
Dr. Iachetta seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 6. Public Hearing: An Ordinance to Vacate a Portion of ?lat of
Berkeley Community, Shown on Recorded Plats as the Public Street Lying Between Lot I,
Block 5~ Section 1 and Lot 11, Block 4, Section 1, Berkeley Community. (Advertised in the
Daily Progress on April 1, 1977 and April 7, 1977.)
This item was dicussed on March 9, 1977, and referred to the Planning Commission for
their review and recommendation. Mr. Tucker then read the following staff report into the
record: "Mr. Michael J. Demetsky of the Berkeley Subdivision has requested the Board of
Supervisors to vacate the right-of,way located between Lot 1, Block 5, Section 1 and Lot
!i, Block 4, Section 1 off Dominion Drive. This right-of-way presently provides access to
the two above described lots in Berkeley, plus one townhouse lot in Four Seasons. The
right-of-way could never be extended without the acquisition and removal of several townhouse~
in Four Seasons.. For that reason the staff recommends the vacation of the above described
right-of-way provided an agreement is made between the three affected property owners for
an easement across said right-of-way."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission recommended vacation subject to county attorney
review of the easement serving the townhouse. Mr. St. John felt the easement should be on
hand and ready to be recorded.
The public hearing was opened. Dr. Michael Demetsky was present and noted that the
street is deteriorating rapidly from considerable traffic which either enters it in anticipatJ
that it enters Four Seasons or uses it as a turnaround. This heavy usage is wearing away
the gravel surface. He requested that the road be abandoned and left to the adjacent
property owners to change its identity from a road to a mutually satisfactory driveway,
including access to the one townhouse.
Mr.. Fisher felt an agreement in writing should be submitted and an easement of some
type approved for access to the townhouse before any action is taken to vacate the right-
of-way.-- Mr. Roudabush suggested that the maintenance of the right-of-way also be in the
agreement. Dr. Iachetta then offered motion to continue the public hearing to June 8 so
as to-allow time to reach an agreement for access to the townhouse property. Mr. Roudabush
seconded the motion and same carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
NOT DOCKETED. Mr. Tucker said the City requested a study be conducted by the Virginia
Department of Highways and Transportation of the Route 29 North area due to the proposed
rezoning and impact of a tract of land for the Fashion Square Mall. The following recommendat
were made for the Route 250 by-pass out to Rio Road:
1)
Route 29 from the Route 250 by-pass out to Greenbrier Drive have three
additional lanes north and south;
2)
Grade separation of Hydraulic Road and Route 29 with ramps serving the
traffic off of Hydraulic Road down to Route 29;
3) Hydraulic Road be four lanes;
Realignment of Michie Road with the Route 250 by-pass creating an inter-
section with Hydraulic Road and Brandywine Drive. This would
involve installing two ramps for westbound traffic coming off of the
250 by-pass ramp onto Hydraulic Road and also a ramp for the eastbound
traffic;
5) Extend Michie Road out to Greenbrier Drive with four lanes;
6) Extend Greenbrier Drive out to Route 29 with four lanes;
7)
Extend Greenbrier Drive across country to the existing Greenbrier Drive
in Greenbrier Heights Subdivision in the city;

Lons
April 13, 1977 (Regular-All Day Meeting
9)
Trumpet interchange for the southbound traffic on Route 29 which would be
an underpass under Route 29 into the subject property for those desiring
to go back south to town. This connection would be between the Post
Office and the perimeter road.
Indications are to close the crossovers at Stromberg-Carlson. Mr. Tucker said the
total cost of these recommendations is $8.8 million. Discussion then followed on the
omission of improvements for access/egress to Stromberg-Carlson and Sperry. Mr. Tucker
said the requested was mainly for the impact of the Fashion Square Mall; therefore, other
needs were not included.
Mr. Roosevelt said the study was to determine traffic improvements needed to handle
the Fashion Square Mall. Three important factors of the study were: 1) Traffic generators.
To determine the size of the roads, it was assumed there will be no changes in the current
Federal requirements. 2) They also assumed there will be no alternate routes in the
future, such as a by-pass or a connection from Rio Road to McIntire Road. However~ if the
Rio Road/McIntire Road connection is completed, 10 to 15% of traffic would be taken out
of the Route 29 corridor. 3) These recommendations are what will be needed in the year
2000. The trumpet interohange is something needed by the development to allow traffic to
continue flowing on Route 29. As for the cost of this project, the highway department
will be responsible for 4.9 million dollars. Mr. Fisher asked if the County had any power
to require the developer to submit a bond for any of these improvements. Mr. Roosevelt
felt neither the county nor the City had the power to require Mr. Farber to do any of
these items. The highway department proposes to require him to install trumpet interchange
and the Highway Department entrance requirements. 7 .........
At 12:35 P.M., the Board recessed for lunch and reconvened at 1:40 P.M.
Agenda Item No. 8. Matters from the Public Which are Not Listed on the Agenda.
There was no one present from the public to speak.
Agenda Item No. 9. Tom Hill: Albemarle Housing Improvement Program.
This item will be discussed later.
Agenda Item No. 10. Discussion of Economic Development Commission Appointments.
This item was deferred from the March 9 meeting because the Board preferred to have
the terms of the members on the Commission consistent with t~ms of the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Fred Ferguson was present and said the Commission concurred with the Board in
having four year staggered appointments in accordance with the Board terms. Mr. Fisher
requested the by-laws be rewritten to reflect this change and submitted to the County
Attorney for review before any action would be taken by the Board to ratify the By-Laws of
the Commission.
Agenda Item No. 12a. Appointments: Jail Board.
