Welcome. Tim Tolson (out-going President) welcomed the 27 (or so) attendees.

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

Approval of the CCA’s last meeting’s minutes (November 13, 2025) were unanimously approved with Bill O’Malley making the motion, and Lisa Goehler seconding it..

Treasurer’s Report –  (2026 Dues: Still just $10 annual contribution!)
The amount in the bank belonging to the CCA is $3, 672.26, for the CIDC it is $12,135.32, for a total of $15,807.58  The Treasurer’s Report was approved, with Jo Ann Perkins making the motion, and Tim Tolson seconding it.

Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD):  Five members of the Albemarle County Police Department (ACPD, Evening Patrol Division) visited. Captain Kevin Miller, Blue Ridge District Commander, answered questions regarding concerns from the audience regarding speeding in the neighborhoods and strategies to reduce it. He noted that there have increases in thefts of guns from unlocked vehicles and admonished the audience to always lock your car and never leave valuables in plain sight inside the car. There are also increases in calls for service related to mental health; fortunately, Region 10 has many programs to help people in distress.

Ann Mallek, our county supervisor, spoke on the two new members of the Board of Supervisors, the necessity of snow removal on sidewalks, issues with open burning and the distance between burn piles, the need for background checks for visitors to the schools, even when not entering the building, and enforcement of leash laws for dogs.

Lonnie Murray, our planning commissioner, reported that there were no new updates.

Presentation on the Crozet Park Aquatics & Fitness Center (CPAFC) expansion project (Melissa Boucher, Founder of Boucher Impact Company).

The infrastructure of our beloved Crozet Park is aging, and it is not going to even be possible to just fix things. The Park needs a whole new modern building. In addition, demand is high and increasing for Park programs, including childcare, youth-oriented, and swimming, but all programs are already at capacity.

A site plan has been prepared, but it has not yet been approved. The proposed building will include two stories, with both indoor and outdoor pools, exercise rooms/classrooms, pickleball court, and space for community meetings or receptions. Concerns about landscape buffers and invasive species will be dealt with.

To make all this happen, the Park will need $18,000,000.00. To raise this sum, the Park intends to acquire a loan, and for this they need to fundraise from the community for $5,000,000.00 to put down for the loan for it to be approved. The Park staff estimates that once the project is finished and the new building is finished, it will only take a couple of years to pay off the loan.

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.
