Old Business:
- Update on the four resolutions of the CCA (WPO resolution, Montclair Stream resolution, Eastern Avenue resolution, and AC44 resolution. Reading of the resolutions into the Board of Supervisor minutes on August 6, as well as comments from CCA members at this BOS meeting.
- A motion was made by Eric Schmitz and seconded by Carol Fairborn at the CCA’s July 10 meeting. The motion passed unanimously. This is now the fifth resolution of the series.
- 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, are adopted. The second vote on this new resolution is at the September 11, 2025 meeting.
- Resolution: “Due to information that the developer of Montclair was intending to bury the stream when he told the county that he would not, as part of the rezoning hearing on February 21, 2024, the community of Crozet says it is time to rehear the Montclair zoning map amendment. Second, the community of Crozet respectfully requests that, prior to granting a land disturbance permit to the Montclair site developer, Albemarle County engage a competent outside, independent legal counsel to review and advise the County and community on how the provisions of the Water Protection Ordinance apply to the stream buffers on or adjacent to the Montclair site. This review should include, but not be limited to, a recommendation on how the County should enforce compliance with the WPO given that the stream was buried by the Montclair developer without the local permits required by the Water Protection Ordinance.”
- Public comments were made at the September 3, 2025 BOS meeting by the CCA president.
