Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD) may visit and give an update. (Evening Patrol Division)  They were unable to come to the meeting.

Update and News from Ann Mallek, our county supervisor.  She spoke on the county’s budget being adopted. She encouraged us to go online and get more details. How to make property taxes more affordable, encouraged crosswalk on St. George Ave., sidewalks needed, more fire protection, and affordable housing needed.

Discussion about the “Montclair” stream, OakBluff/Eastern Avenue, and AC44 (Eric Schmitz, Bill O’Malley, & Tom Loach). (The powerpoint presentation is available here.) The discussion of these three items and the four resolutions were quite informative to those present. Powerpoint information led the discussion on each resolution. Topics of concern were about water, water protection, change in growth areas, Virginia laws on population growth and a county’s comprehensive plan. Both Ann Mallek and the White Hall district planning commissioner, Lonnie Murray participated in the discussion. Please communicate with your neighbors, ask questions, stay informed.

New Business:

  • Resolutions of the CCA, as required by its bylaws (Article VII), require presentation at a second regular CCA meeting for discussion and vote, and if accepted, will be adopted.

    • Yes.  We  will have a meeting on July 10 to vote again. 
  • Resolutions about the County’s WPO enforcement, the “Montclair” stream, Eastern Avenue, and AC44.
    • The WPO resolution was introduced by Matt Helt and seconded by Tom Loach.  The vote to accept the WPO resolution as given was unanimous.
    • The Montclair Stream resolution was introduced by Matt Helt and seconded by Tom Loach.  The vote to accept the Montclair Stream resolution as given was unanimous.

Old  Business:

  • Crozet Independence Day Celebration!
    • Saturday, July 5, 2025 is the next Crozet Independence Day Celebration at King Family Vineyard.  We will need more money to prepare for 2026 fireworks show and celebration!
    • Donate to the fireworks and the CIDC at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/2025-crozet-independence-day-fireworks or https://bit.ly/CIDC-Fireworks25
    • The King Family Vineyards SUP is progressing.   The Board of Supervisor’s hearing is on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.  (The Planning Commission unanimously approved it earlier.)

The time limit (wanting to end around 9:00 pm) kept the rest of the items from being discussed.

  • Hanging Baskets.  Muff Biber, Tim Tolson, and Chelsea Powers (president of Crozet Board of Trade) are working on the details of draft contract from the Albemarle County Facilities and Environmental Services department.  The aim is to have flower baskets hung as soon as possible.
  • A reminder that the Crozet Park Board is prohibiting parking on the blacktop near the pickleball courts during daylight hours (aka basketball courts). The only exception will be for Park sponsored events, e.g., Arts & Crafts Festival, Gator Swim Meets, etc., when the no parking signs will be covered. Please feel free to use the fifteen parking spaces located along the west side of the pool fence.
