Update and News from Ann Mallek, our county supervisor. Ann apologies, but she cannot be at this meeting, she has another meeting to attend. 

Updates and discussion about the “Montclair” stream, OakBluff/Eastern Avenue, and AC44 (Eric Schmitz, Bill O’Malley, & Tom Loach).   Eric Schmitz presented a through discussion of the resolutions.  Much discussion from the membership.  What can CCA do?  How do we get the Board of Supervisors to listen to our community concerns?  Sign up sheets were passed for members to sign up to several Board of Supervisors meetings and to be on a steering committee to coordinate Crozet citizens concerns.

 Old  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, are adopted.  The first vote on these four resolutions was at the CCA meeting on May 8, 2025. The four resolutions were each unanimously supported.  The second vote on each of these resolutions is at this July 10, 2025 meeting.
      • The WPO resolution: motion to accept was made by Jennifer Holbrook and seconded by Tom Loach. The motion passed unanimously.
      • The Montclair Stream resolution: motion to accept was made by Jennifer Holbrook and seconded by Tom Loach. The motion passed unanimously.
      • The Eastern Avenue resolution: motion to accept was made by Rashmi Ghei and seconded by Heidi Brown. The motion passed unanimously.
      • The AC44 resolution: motion to accept was made by Lee Gale and seconded by Tyler Gayle. The motion passed unanimously.
  • Another resolution was added to these four.   The resolution was on the developer being consistent with county, state, and federal laws and be reviewed by outside experts.  A motion was made by Eric Schmitz and seconded by Carol Fairborn.  The motion passed unanimously.  
    • “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.”
  • 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 will be at the September 11, 2025 meeting.

The meeting broke up after discussion of this resolution and before the rest of old business (e.g., the Crozet Independence Day Celebration) and Announcements were made.
Meeting adjourned at 8:52 PM


Submitted by Jo Ann Z. Perkins, secretary.

  • Crozet Independence Day Celebration!
    • Saturday, July 5, 2025 was the Crozet Independence Day Celebration at King Family Vineyard. It was very successful and we thank all the folks who donated to the event and/or to the fireworks – especially to the King family and staff who put in so much time and effort to help it be so successful.
    • There is still time to donate to the fireworks , because we have to pay the deposit on next year’s fireworks (on July 4, 2026!) this year: https://www.gofundme.com/f/2025-crozet-independence-day-fireworks or https://bit.ly/CIDC-Fireworks25
  • 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.
