Company offering to lease five acres of the proposed Community College site
at a yearly rental of $~,000, starting with possession of said property as soon
as possible, to terminate on or before December 31, 1970. The communication
stated that the purpose of leasing this property is to erect a cement mixing.
plan~ for the surfacing of Interstate 64 starting at Shadwell and ending at
Route 29 South Interchange. Nr. John Humphrey advised that this property is
presently zoned ~-1 which does not permit such mixing plant. He suggested
that the property be zoned A-1 for the future college which ~one would allow
such operation with a conditional use permit and that this change be affected
by resolution of intent of this Board. He also advised that an amendment to
the Zoning 0rd~nance is currently before the Planning Commission which would
allow temporary uses in connection with highway construction. Nr. Butch was
advised that the Board would l~ropose change for rezoning the question property.
At 10:00 A.~. the Chairman called for public hearings on zoning reqUests
as advertized in the Daily Progress on August 1, 8 and 1~, 1969:
(1) ZNP-081 - Application of Lloyd D. NcDaniel to rezone ~.32 acres from A-1
to 1~-1 to construct single family dwellings. (Carried over from July
meeting. )
Nr. Humphrey advised that Nr. EcDaniel is still ill and is to be represented
at this meeting by Nr. Walter Young. After discussion, motion was offered by
Er. Yancey, seconded by Er. Gibson, and unanimously carried, to defer action
on this request until the regular September meeting.
(2) Z~P-074 - Application of Win~on Wood to rezone ~.5 acres from Agricul-
tural A-1 to l~esidential t~-1. Located on l~oute 660 in Earlysville area.
Nr. Wood was present; no one appeared in opposition. Nr. Humphrey pointed
out that one property owner appeared in opposition at the Planning Commis-
sion's hearing. Nr. Humphrey advised that the Planning Commission recom-
mended approval in keeping with the staff's comments. On motion by
Gibson, seconded by Nr. Wood, and unanimously carried, the recommendation
of the Planning Commission was accepted.
(3) ~ZNP-076. Application of Albemarle Livestock Narket to rezone 28
acres from ~-1 ~anufacturing to A-1 Agricultural. Located south
and adjacent to City of Charlottesville on Franklin Street.
There was no one present with regard to this petition. Nr. Humphrey ad-
vised that the request was made for rezoning to alleviate possible tax
burden, the characteristics of the land does not blend itself well with ~-1
zoning, and Albemarle Livestomk Narket was unaware they were zoned N-1. He
further stated that the Planning Commission approved this request by a 4-2
vote on the basis of an alleged error in the original zoning map based on the
present operations of the subject land. Considerable discussion was given to
this case after which motion was offered by Nr. Gibson, seconded by
~neeler, and unanimously carried, to deny this request.
(4) 'Z~P-077 - Application of E. W. Schuyler and Nary Jean Printz to rezone
46.34 acres from Business B-1 to Agricultural A-1. Located on Route 20
North approximately a quarter of a mile north of Route 250 East.
The applicants were presa~ t along with their attorney, Nr. Junius Fishburne.
No one appeared in opposition. Nr. Humphrey advised that the staff had
noted previously that the County has an over abundance of B-1 zoning and he
felt a reduction in the commercial zone would be in order in the location
where there is no apparent immediate need. He advised that the Planning
Commission unanimously recommended approval of this request on the basis that
the subject land was prematurely zoned on the original zoning map and in
their opinion was an error. The Board was advised that the applicants were
unaware that this land was zoned B-1 and wished to continue the present ac-
tivity of raising cattle and feed. On motion by Nr. Wood, seconded by Nr.
Way, and unanimously adopted, this request was approved.
In considering the foregoing application, it was the feeling of the Board
that adjacent land should be removed from the B-1 zone and the County Executive
recommended that this land be advertised for 1~-3 zoning. The land in Question
consists of 3.78 acres owned by Herman H. Dorrier (assessment map 78, parcel
58K)~ and 17.5 acres owned by Charles Hurt~(a portion of parcel 59A, assessment
map 78). On motion by Er. Gibson, seconded by Er. Wheeler, and unanimously
carried, Nr. John Humphrey was directed to take proper steps to rezone these
contiguous parcels of ]and.
Nrc D. B. ~arshall, County Attorney, advised that the County has been
negotiating for some time with Nr. Jack Simms o£ Simco, Inc. for the purchase

filiated corporations, have constructed a water and sewer system
to serve the Camelot and adjacent property located on or near

pliance with applicable regulations of the State Health Depart-
ment and Water Pollution Board and has further verified the

set out in a written.agreement presented at this meeting;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Board hereby agrees
to purchase said systems and the land upon which they are situated,
pursuant to said agreement, to take over operation of said systems,
and to pay to Camelot of Albemarle, Inc., and Simco, Inc. the
consideration for said land specified in said agreement; and the

Village, Inc., regarding this matter. This matter was discussed briefly
and the County Executive and County Attorney were requested to draft a
p61icy for the Board's consideration.
On recommendation of the County Attorney, the following resolution was
offered by Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr. Gibson, and unanimously adopted:
BE IT BESOLVED that this Board shall purchzs~e from Daley
Craig, Incorporated, the established and existing water lines
ovmed by it and serving Section V of Hessian Hills Subdivision

clude assismment to this Board of all contracts under which

areas, with special emphasis on dogwood, redbud, and the more de-
sirable trees.

simultaneously. This will help minimize soil erosion and greatly
reduce siltation damage downstream.
3. Stockpile topsoil so it can be used later on areas to be stabilized
by permanent vegetation.

erosion for an indefinite period, it should be seeded to rem~
porary cover immediately after rough grading is completed.

pletion of final grading, where practice is applicable.
