Welcome.  By Tim Tolson, President.  Ten people were present.

Agenda Review / Changes and additions from the floor? There were none.  

Approval of the CCA’s last meeting’s minutes (September 11, 2025) were unanimously approved following the motion to approve by Tom Loach that was seconded by Bill O’Malley.

Treasurer’s Report –  (2025 Dues: Still just $10 annual contribution!)
 CCA:$3,066.35; CIDC: $12,135.32   TOTAL: $15,201.67   

Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD) was unable to visit. 

Ann Mallek, our county supervisor, was unable to attend the meeting due to illness. 

Presentation and Update on re-submission of Windy Knoll application.
Steve Walsworth provided background and information regarding the Windy Knoll application to build 18 housing units on a C shaped parcel between Cory Farms and Liberty Hall. Lively discussion focused on the plethora of concerns regarding the application, notably infrastructure and access deficiencies, and safety concerns regarding the retention pond. One further concern was that the calculations for density of the units were done in a way that while technically compliant with the zoning density approved for Crozet, renders a portion of the parcel, which is the one least accessible for transportation, at a de facto higher density that allowed. Related to this, a concern was that higher density requires either sufficient parking for the units, which isn’t provided by these current plans, or access to public transportation, of which there is none.

Lonnie Murray, our planning commissioner provided insight on the prospect of approval for the Windy Knoll Project, and advice about how to present concerns to the County Supervisors, Planning Commission, and staff. CCA members made clear that they are not opposed to higher density development in Crozet, but that the concerns about the project are specific to the inadequacy of this proposed location.

Tom Loach did a brief presentation about land use taxes and wanting a choice to support the County’s ACE program.

Updates and Discussion: Regarding the The Square improvements, complaints were voiced regarding the new traffic pattern.  Crozet Park will be doing renovations and construction for the new Crozet Park Aquatics & Fitness Center (CPAFC) expansion project.  We will have a presentation on that project at the next CCA meeting.  Tim Tolson informed the meeting that the “Welcome to Crozet” sign on Crozet Avenue/White Hall Road will need to be moved a bit due to altercations with vehicles.
