In accordance with the policies of the Virginia Department of Highways covered in the
pamphlet "The Secondary System", on Page 7, this road being a subdivision as per Deed
Book 252, Page 286 (Locust Grove), should be brought us to the standards designated
in the said pamphlet before it could be accepted into the Secondary SyStem, therefore,
we cannot recommend to your Board that this xection of road be added to the State
Highway System.
We wish to call attention of your Board to the fact that a high power line tower is
located on this proposed right of way approximately .10 of a mile from its beginning
at corporate limits and extends 10 feet into same from the west side.

Viewers reported that said road was a part of a subdivision and did not meet tho
present standards to be accepted into the State Highway Secondary System and that an
electric transmission line tower extends approximately 10 feet on to the right of way

Power Company extends approximately 10 feet on to the dedicated 50 foot right of
way, nevertheless, there remains 40 feet of unobstructed right of way; and

will place it in condition to be reasonably maintained; that the said petitioners have

visors. A motion, by Mr. Bain, seconded by Mr. Wo~d, that re-assertion of intentions bySpecialties,
Inc, be accepted and that this Board authorize the Joint Airport Committee to proceed with the Construe-
tion of the airport in accordance with resolution adopted at the meeting of September 2'6, 1952, provided

Mr. Gus K. Tebell

Dear Mr. Tebell:
This letter is addressed to you as Chairman of the Joint Airport Committee
of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and the City Council of Charlottesville
at the telephone request of John S. Battle, Jr., Counsel for the City of Charlottes-
ville. Two copies are attached for the files of the administrative heads of the two
governing bodies ko which your Committee answers.
Under date of 6 September 1951 I wrote your predecessor, as Chairman of the
Joint Airport Committee, specifically committing Specialties to a construction program,
at the airport site, in event that project moved forward within a reasonable period of
time. This is to advise you that our basic intent has not changed in spite of the
major dislocation of our plans and the very appreciable additional expenses that we
have been occasioned by the long delay in finalizing the initia~ commitment for actual
airport construction.
The Defense Production Authority Construction and Capital Equipment Loan,
arranged under our Certificate of Essentiality, was originally set up to ben,consummated
by 17 April 1952. Since this loan was contingent upon adequate assurance of the plant
being constructed adjacent to an ample airport facility, the delays in your project
forced the extension of this loan authorization expiration date to 17 J,mne 1952, and
finally to 17 August 1952. When this last date passed without any definitive action
towards actual construction of the airport, the DPA authorities failed to extend the
loan authorization further~
This means that our construction at the airport site will be piece-meal in-
stead of done in on full swoop. While this is temporarily disadvantageous from the
standpoint of tax returns to the County of Albemarle, we believe that it is more than
offset by the fact that our build up of personnel will be so much slower that there will
be no possible conflict with your already existing businesses and industries.
Although we are still very much in the initial training phase of our program
at Charlottesville, we already have a payroll of $200,000.00 per year and have moved
into the county and city all of the machinery and equipment requisite to s~pport a
payroll of this magnitude. Ail of these capital assets will be moved to the a~rport
site, and more added, as soon as we complete our initial construction. This will be
We cannot complete plans for our ~wn initial construction at the airport
site until we have some specific advice from your Committee. We would appreciate
your advising us, at the earliest practicable date, on the following points:
a. The finished grades for the airport and the drainage arrangements
therefor as laid out by your engineer and approved by CAA.
be
Whether your Committee is agreeable to exchanging the two little
triangles of land as proposed in my letter to you of 14 July, 1952.
It appears to us that all parties concerned have everything to win
and nothing to lose by such an exchange, if nothing more is accom-
plished than to take out the extreme irregularities that now exist
in our common boundary line at that point.
Ce
de
Confirmation of the verbal indication that your Committee has no
objection to Specialties removing soil, from the ungraded restricted
area paralleling the runway, if ~ome additional fill proved requisite
for the building project of our property. Specialties would naturally
defray all expenses of moving the material on to its own property and
to be responsible for leaving any area in which it may work in a
reasonably uniformly graded condition. Such grading would enhance
the safety factor for that area of the airport.
We ~ave not had confirmation of our request for permission to have a
small pond overlap the eastern boundary of our property onto your re-
stricted area. The pond is projected for the purpose of drainage con-
trol and would not interfere with any existing, or projected, roads.
Since no structures may be raised in the restricted area, we see no
possible objection to this but we certainly are not going to proceed
on the basis of assumptions however reqsonable they may be.
In event the foregoing does not give your Committee all the information it
desires, in order to make prompt undertaking of actual construction definitive, the
writer will gladly meet with them at any mutually convenient time and place.
I2 all, or any portion, of your Committee feel that a visit to our two
leased facilities would be helpful to their deliberations, we will be glad to arrange
it on receipt of their full names and assurance that they are U. S. citizens. It will
take about one week to get the clearance required by the security regulations governing
our classified work for the Armed Services.
As you know, the long delay in the planning in the initial construction of
this airport has cost us a great deal of money by forcing us to rent, rehabilitate and
equip 16,000 sq. ft., on a temporary basis, for our training program. It is going to
cost us more money to dismantle all of this equipment, remove it to our buildings at
the airport site and re-install it. Every dollar we spend on our temporary quarters
means that much less we have available to spend on our psrmanent facilities at the air-
port site. Your Committee can help us minimize this further ~nproductive expense by
giving us prompt answers to the foregoing questions. Such cooperation will be g~eatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
(Si~ed) Stephan A. McClellan
President
