by the Hydraulics Department out of Richmond, it was their feeling and his
that the flooding conditions ce.~d not be attributed to work dnne-on the

At 10:00 A.N. the Chairman called for public hearing on zoning requests
as advertised in the Daily Progress on February 27, ~arch 6 and Narch 13,
1970, as follows:
(1) z~-102 - Application of Hall Bros., Inc. to rezone property located on
Avon Street Extended (Route 742) from A-I Agricultural to ~-t ~anufactur-
ing.
Nr. Hall appeared in support of his application. No on appeared in opposition.
Nr. Humphrey reported that thee area north of ~I-64 along Boute 742 has been
zoned for ~-1 ~anufacturing and an area south of ~-64 and the subject property
has been zoned N-I~~ Between the two areas is located the site for the proposed
205
Community College. The staff feels that the area has been comnnLtted to light
-manufacturing. He called attention to the prOblem of access from ttoute 742
to Route 20 to afford industrial traffic the opportunity to utilize the inter-
change of Route 20 with 1-64. Ar. Humphrey stated that he agrees with the
City's Comprehensive Plan calling for the establishment of a road connect-
ing Route 20 and 742. The staff recommended that if the Planning Commission
$~d Board is of the opinion that the general area is committed, then a line of
demarcation from the industrial activity and the proposed college site should
be established, so as to. buffer or protect the school site from encroachment
and would suggest that the proposed road should be the demarcation line. Mr.
Humphrey reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
application in keeping with the staff report.._ On motion by ~r. Gibson,
seconded by Mr. 'Wood, the recommendation of the Planning Commission was
_unanimously accepted.
(2) Z~P-103 - The application of Forrest A. and Raymond R. Phillips to re-
zone 0.72 acres located on Route 631, just west of Route 631 intersection
with Route 29 North, from B-1 Business to M-'l Manufacturing.
Mr'. Phillips appeared in support of his application. No one appeared in opposi-
tion. Mr. Humphrey reported that the parcel in question, in the opinion of the
staff, is orientated to the existing ~-1 zone which abutts it and would be a
logical exte~n}sion. Further, the staff is aware of the several dwellings which
abutt the existing facility and consideration can be given under site plan
control for these dwellings. Nr. Humphrey advised that the Planning Commis-
sion recommended approval in keeping with the staff report. On motion by Ar.
Wood, seconded by Mr. Yancey, the subject application was approved as recom-
mended by the Planning Commission.
(3) ZMP-10~ - Application of North 29 Hotel Corporation to rezone 12.05 acres
located on the west side of Route 29 North on Greenbrier Drive and West-
field Road from B-1 Business to A-1 AanufactUring.
Mr. Shannon Shirley appeared in behalf of the applicant and advised that the
original request had been changed, reducing the area to be rezoned to approxi-
mately 3 acres. No one appeared on opposition although a Ars. Margaret Rosen-
blume who was present for the meeting did express objections to this request.
Ar. Humphrey advised that the ~ubject property is developing commercially and
it is apparent that this section of Westfield was established for a commercial
complex. The staff is of the opinion that M-I zoning would tend to break down
one of the better locations for commercial development and would suggest that
many of the permitted uses in M-l zoning would not be compatible with the de-
sired commercial potential of the area. The sta-T~f is of the opinion that ap-
proval of the requested zoning would not be in the best interest of the County
as it relates to coordinated development. Ar. Humphrey reported that the
20E
Planning CommisSion recommended denial of this application in keeping with the
staff report. Nm. Shirley pointed out that there is s~u existing like facility
within.~ 100 yards of the subject property and that the applicant is trying to
get use of the land on a temporary basis. Nr. Gibson stated that he did not
feel temporary use would, destroy the zoning ordinance. Considerable discussion
followed after which motion was offered by Nr. Wheeler to accept the recommenda-
tion of the PlannLug Commission. This motion was seconded by Nr. Wood and
unanimously carried.
(4) ~-106 - Application of Lilly W. Wade to rezone 3.7 acres located in the
Covesville area on east side of Route 29 North from A-1 Agricultural to
RS- 1 Be sidential.
Nr. Norman Toms, son of Nfs. Wade, appeared in support of 'this application. No
one appeared in opposition. Nr. Humphrey reported that in the opinion of the
staff, Covesville would qualify as a village center under the preliminary
evaluation of the area under the Comprehensive Plan. The RS-1 category would
be a proper zone to allow those areas to be designated "Village Cen~tars" and tls
request would be considered logical and in the best interest of the County. He
reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request in
keeping with the Staff report. On motion by Nr. Wheeler, seconded by Nr. Carroll,
the recommendation of the Planning Commission was unanimously accepted.
(5) z~P-107 - Application of East Corporation to rezone 1.3 acres from A-1
Agricultural to B-1 Business and 71.8 acres from A-1 Agricultural to
E-3 Residential. Property located at the intersection of Route 631 and
Route 768, east of Route 29 North.
It was noted that in Planning Commission hearing, Nr. Shannon Shirley, on behalf
of the applicant, amended the request R-2 Residen~al for the entire tractk Nr.
Humphrey called attention to the fact that sewer is not available for the
development at t~s tLme and the City has indicated that it could be abou~ three
years before sewer expansion is undertaken. He also stated that the road con-
ditions in the immediate area are critical. He advised that unless the aPpli-
cant can show that a written agreement has been obtained for sewer hookup for
1420 units and that the State is pmepared to improve the access roads within a
period of five years, the application should not be considered. He reported
that the Planning Commission recommended approval for the R-2 zone as amended
by the applicant. Nr. Shirley advised that no development would be made until
sewer is available. Nrs. Griesbach and Nr. Roger Stanley expressed some con-
cern over the application but seemed to be agreeable to the R-2. After dis-
cussion, this application was deferred for 60 days on motion by Nr. Wheeler,
seconded by Nr. Carroll, and unanimously carried.
The County Planner asked the Board to consider revising the conditional
use provision as found in the County Zoning Ordinance to provide for uses now
..... 207:"
permitted under the. conditional use to be placed und.er a "Special Permit"
provision which w~nld afford the Board more control of possible incompatible
or obnoxious uses.~0n motion by Nr. Gibson, seconded by Nr. Wheeler, and
un~uimously carried., the Board referred to the Planning Commission for
study ~nd recommendation a revision to the County Zoning Ordinance to pro-
vide for the replacement of the "Conditional Use Provision"of the County
Zoning Ordinance with a "S~ecial Permit Provision" with appropriate controls.
The County ~ttorney to draft said revision.
The County Executive advised that order has ~een given for street
lights in the Scottsville area, pending contract with Appalachian Power
~ompany and submitted resolution authorizing execution, o£ said contract. It
was ordered that the contract be referred to the County Attorney for study
and action on this matter was deferred until an adjourned meeting, the time
of which will be set ~ater in this meeting.
The County Executive recommended that the Board exercise option with
George T. Eddins. for the purchase of 6.58 acres at a price of $37,000.00 for
the proposed Vocational-Technical School. He advised that the County is
still negotiating for the purchase of adjoining property o~ned by Nfs. Daisy
~Wetsel. Nr. Wheeler stated that he felt the entire Equalization Board should
have been asked to view the subject property. After discussion, this matter
was deferred until the adjourned meeting on motion by Nr. Wheeler, seconded
by Nr. Gibson, and unanimously approved.
The County Executive advised that maps would be needed in preparation for
defense against annexation and recommended an appropriation of $20,000.00 for
topos of areas around the City of Charlottesville. It was the feeling of the
Board that these maps are the same as those which the City will require and
the two governing bodies should share the expense in order to save taxpayers'
money. The County Executive was requested to check with the City on this
matter and action was deferred until the adjourned meeting-.
S.P.C.A. report was received for the month of February, 1970,and on
motion by Nr. Gibson, seconded by Nr. Yancey, was unanimously approved.
Claim against the Dog Tax Fund was received I~rom Gladine Burkett for nine
hens and one rooster killed by dogs. On motion by N~. Gibson, seconded by Nr.
Yancey, unanimously carried, $1.50 was allowed for each of the ten fowl.
The matter of hours of sale of alcoholic beverages, deferred from the last
regular meeting, was again brought before the Board. The County Attorney ad-
vised that the County Ordinance does not require amendment to change hours of
sale of beer but a resolution would be necessary. On motion by Nr. Wheeler,
seconded by Nr. Wood, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
20.8:111
~S, in the opinion of the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Albemarle the public convenience would be served by the
con~u~mption on licensed premises and the sale at retail of alco-
holic beverages until 1:00 A.N., during the whol~ year except as

~HEEEAS, the haurs of such consumption and sale are estab-

Nfs. Natalie Jahrsdoerfer appear, ed on behalf of a group of parents re-
garding excessive length of the elementary school day. She stated that it is
the desire of her group that a dual bus system which would give independent
service to all elementary schools be established, both to shorten the school
day for younger children and .~to eliminate present crowded conditions on the
buses, pointing out that in some cases children are forced to stand. She ad-
vised that the matter is being studied by the school administration but she
wished this body to give its financial support. Nr. Gibson thanked Nfs.
Jahrsdoerfer, on behalf of the Board, for coming before the Board and advised
that the Board will await the School Superintendent's report to see how we
can approach the problem. Nr. Wheeler stated that he is opposed to children
standing on buses. Nr. Garnett advised that this matter will be considered wi~.lh
the budget study.

Nr. Humphrey advised the Board.t-that in some cases the Health Department
is still approving pit privies. He stated that he can see where a septic
sysDem could be an economic ~roblem in certain instances but also in some
cases the septic system should be recommended. It was the consensus of
opinion that where pit privies are approved by the Health Department, the
location of same on the lot should be given consideration in the interest of
neighboring property.
Reporting on the matter of reapportionment, the County Attorney read to
the Board that section of the Virginia Code regulating this matter. He ad-
vised that this Board has the power to request the Court to make a re-
