The meeting opened with the Lord's Prayer led byMr. M. N. Pence. Minutes of the meetings of January 18, January 30, February 9, February 15, February 29 and March 13, 1956 were read aD~ approved. Mr. Randolph Perry of the Chamber of Com~Lerce appeared and presented communication from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Park Association regarding road from Route 250 to the birth place of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Perry advised that the exact location of the birth site had now been determined and plans were being formulated for the erection of his home and requested a road as described above as a County project. He further stated that such a road wo~ld honor Jefferson and also-be of considerable commercial value. Mr. Shields, Resident Highway Engineer, advised that the length of this proposed road would be approximately .27 of a mile and the cost would be around $10,000.00. He advised also that com- munications from the State Highway Department had suggested that such a project be handled through special legislation since acceptance into the Secondary System through regular channels would necessitat the funds for same being charged to Albemarle County allocations. It was the ~eeling of the Board that more information should be obtained in regard to this matter and action on same was carried over until the next regular meeting. The following Viewers~ Report was presented, and upon motion, made by Mr. Williams and second~ byMr. Sutherland, was accepted in accordance with Section 2039 of the Virginia Code: We, the undersigned, being Viewers appointed by your Board at its regular meeting on February 15, 1956 to vie~ the following described section of road and make re- port to your Board hereby wish to advise that onM arch 8, 1956 we did view the following section of road and make report on same: Beginning at a point in Route 621 near Eastham and continuing for 0.4 of a mile to the east, petitioner - Charles W. Phillips. We find that this section of road serves approximate three homes but there is no future development in order to consider as serving the public. ~e, therefore, recommend to your Board that this section will not be pla~ed in the Virginia Department of Highways Secondary Road System.

We find that the p~titioners have graded t~e section of road f~om end of present maintenance to 0.35 of a mile east. This work was suggested in last years report and we find satisfactory with the exception of taking out the existing cattle guards. ~e, therefore, recommend to your Board that the section from the end of present ~tate Maintenance to 0.35 of a mile East be placed in the Virginia Department of Highways Secondary Road System when said cattle guards are removed.

We find that this section of road is in travel shape with some improvement needed through the woodland, but we cannot feel that there is sufficient public service to be rendered to Justify it being p~aced in the Secondary Road System. WE, therefore, do not recommend to your Board that this section be placed in the Virginia Department of Highways Secondary Road System. (Signed) C. C. Wade H. N. Clark A. T.

We found this section of road to be passable but with a very ~heavy grade and. under wet conditions would be very slick. This section was studied by viewers in 1953, but we feel that the conditions have changed with justifies a reconsideration. We, therefore, recommend to your Board that the section from end of present state maintenance to the Wilden Baptist Church, a distance of 0.3 of a mile, be placed in the Virginia Department of Highways Secondary Road System.

We find that this road is an extension of Secendary Road that was placed in the System some three years ago, and we feel that the expenditure by the State at that time on maintenance should s~tisfy the petitioner until a later date. We, therefore, do not recommend to your Board, that the Section from the end of present State maintenance to one mile South be placed in the Virginia Department of Highways Secondary Road System. .82 The following Viewers' Report was presented, and. upon motion made by Mr. Williams and seconded by Mr. Suther!and, was accepted in accordance with Section 2039 of the Virginia Code: We, the undersigned, being Viewers appointed by your Board at its regular meeting on February 15, 1956 to view the following described section of road and make re- port to your Board hereby wish to advise that on ~arch 8, 1956, we did view the following section of road and make report on same: Beginnin~ on Route 640, 400 yds. East of Int. with Route 641, and thence to the east for 0.5 of a mile, petitioned for by Mr. R. Thraves and others. This section of road was viewed on February 16, 1955 and our report that date still stands. After further study we feel that the location on the ridge could be made to serve these petitioners and be extended at a later date to serve other properties. Ne repeat that we cannot recommend granting this petition on the location mentioned in same for a State Secondary Road. (Signed) C. C. Wade H. N. Clark A. T.

We note one new residence and are advised that several lots for building purposes have been sold. By the State's regulation this would place this section in the Sub-Division class. Ne cannot see sufficient public service at this time to be rendered by the p~itioned for Section of road to justify it being placed in the Secondary Road System. We, therefore, do not recommend the granting of this petition to be placed in the Virginia Department of Highways Secondary Road System. (Signed) C. C. Wade H. N. Clark A. T.

L. Snead home, a distance of approximate I mile. We find in viewing this area that it would seem if the final set up for roads in this section could develop a through road from Route 240 opposite the cemetary, passing through this general area and through the Gentry Farm to Route 240 just S.W. of ~orton's Pie Factory. We are mentioning the above for information to your Board and thinking the Sub-Dividers should develop their Sub-Divisions with this idea in mind. However, as to the petition of John B. Jarman and others, we believe this to be a sub-division and. recommend to your Board that the petitioned for one mile of reed would have to be brought up to a State's requirement for Sub-Division before it could be made part of the State's Secondary System.

Beginning at Route 737 in Scottsville area near the home of E. W. O'Brien and ending at Route 726 (No length given). We met Mr. O'Brien, his som, and Irene Jones at the 737 end of proposed road, which was not traVeled with car, truck, or e~netractor. No landowners were present to discuss right of way for proposed road. We advised Mr. O'Brien that all ~and owners would have to sign a petition at your office guaranteeing a 30 feet right of way on proposed location of same as the old road bed would not be satisfactory~ We feel that this section needs a road connecting 737 and 726 near this point.

Wood. We find this short section of road adjacent to the hard surface section of State road in Maury Hills and understand that traffic in this section uses this short section when coming out of Naury Hills area. We therefore, recommend to your Board that, if an when the petitioners fill low sections and bring up entire road to State maintenance standard, that this section of O.l% of a mile be placed in the Virginia Department of Highways Secondary Road System for State maintenance.
