There is access to Route 33 and proposed commercial entrances comply with access regulations. Mr. L. J. Lopez, Milestone Partners, spoke briefly on the requested rezone. The Country Store will be a casualty of the Route 33 widening project and will be taken down. Plans are to construct al building on the 1-acre lot as a replacement home for the Country Store and operations. Ini response to a question by Mrs. Durrer regarding the design of the building, Mr. Lopez said a final design is not available at this time.

LLC/TODD SANSOM - REZONE Mr. Frydl reviewed the request from Nine Point Ventures, LLC/Todd Sansom to rezone a 2.11-acre portion ofa 4.4-acre parcel from R-1 (Residential) to B-2 (Business) to accommodate a parking lot as an accessory use for a convenience store located across Bacon Hollow Road. (SUP#20-010) By-right uses permitted in the B-1 zoning district, and uses permitted by special use permit, are inclusive to uses in the B-2 zoning district. VDOT has indicated that the proposed commercial entrance will comply with access regulations. The Planning Commission Mr. Todd Sansom, applicant, emphasized a safe entrance to the parking lot is the impetus behind this move. He feels, and VDOT agrees, that the entrance should be at the top ofthel hill as that is the safest location. This will be a gravel parking lot used for special occasions as needed. Ms. Susan Roth, Stanardsville, spoke in opposition of the proposed rezone saying this is not a business growth area and having a parking lot for 50 cars close to a scenic byway is the antithesis of preserving the county's rural character. She said Maybelle's convenience store and BP gas station looks more like it belongs on Route 29 than on Route 810. Keep the rural parts of  recommended approval ofthe request.

PEC respectfully submits to you the following comments regarding Nine Point Ventures, LLC's request to rezone 2.11 acres ofa 4.4-acre parcel (46-A-43C) from R-1 (Residential) tol B-2 (Business) located at the PEC has several concerns regarding this rezoning request, and we believe thati ifapproved it will  intersection ofI Dyke Road and Bacon Hollow Road.  negatively impact the rural character oft this area of Greene County.  The Greene County Comprehensive Plan stresses that "one oft the most significant wishes of county citizens...is for the county to retain its rural character." The County's Future Land Use maps designate the area within which this property is located as "Rural Area," outside oft the County'si identified growth area. PEC is concerned that a rezoning from R-1 to B-2 fort this property, particularly toj provide for construction ofa 50-car parking lot, serves to degrade the rural character oft the surrounding area and risks encouraging expanded commercial development Parcel 46-A-43A (located on the opposite side of Bacon Hollow Road from Parcel 46-A-43C), on which Maybelle's Market and al British Petroleum (BP) gas station are located, already provides significant parking capacity (approximately 25 parking spaces). PEC would ask that the Board consider whether the construction of 50 additional parking spaces on Parcel 46-A-43C is truly necessary to allow for customers to access Maybelle's! Market and thel BP station given the current parking capacity on Parcel 46-A-43A. PEC would also note our concern with one of proposed uses ofParcel 46-A-43A that the applicant states as a primary reason in support oft the need for the construction of 50 parking spaces on Parcel 46-A-43C, namely use as an outdoor event pavilion. PEC would ask that in evaluating this rezoning request, that the Board carefully consider whether such a use (and accompanying parking infrastructure) is appropriate given the Ther rezoning application does not appear to specify what lighting might accompany the 50-car parking lot that the applicant desires to construct on Parcel 46-A-43C.

Int the event that this rezoning request is approved, we would ask that the County work with the applicant to ensure that thei impacts from any lighting apparatus on the surrounding viewshed and night sky are  minimized to the fullest extent possible.  Lastly, PEC would note that Parcel 46-A-43C borders the Roach River, a tributary to the Rivanna River. We would ask that the County fully consider the potential environmental impacts from having a parking lot (which, while proposed to be gravel, would still largely function as an impervious surface) located in such close proximity to the Roach River, including the potential  fors storm water runoffincluding oils, tire sediments, and metals.  PEC recognizes thei importance ofa appropriately sited and carefully planned economic development activities in Greene County, but we believe that this proposed rezoning has the potential tol havea significantly negative impact on the rural character oft the Dyke area and we would encourage the Board to consider whether this proposed use would engender further commercial development in the Rural Area.
