==About==<br />
Chamberlain was a [[Charlottesville]] attorney and historian who, in the 1930s as a candidate for state legislature, led the fight against efforts to establish a managerial government in [[Albemarle County]], a change that would wrest control of local issues from the Governor. During World War II, Chamberlain served as a rationing executive for the Richmond Office of Price Administration before being appointed rent director for Albemarle County in 1944. As such, he was responsible for controlling rental costs for the area.<ref name="Albemarle">Moore, John Hammond. Albemarle, Jefferson's County, 1727-1976. 1976.

<hr />
<div>[[Hatton Ferry]] is the last poled ferry in the United States, and {{as of|2010}} is owned and operated by a non-profit group formed for that purpose<ref>The Hatton Ferry. Web. 21 June 2010. <http://thehattonferry.org/>.</ref>. A seasonal service, the Hatton Ferry operates on a weekend schedule from April to October. <br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
The cable ferry crosses the [[James River]] on [[Route 625]] about 3.5 miles west of [[Scottsville]] between [[Albemarle County]] and [[Buckingham County]]. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[James A. Brown]] began operating a store and ferry at this site in the late 1870s. A few years later, he bought the land and the store became a stop on the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad which was built along the towpath of the James River and Kanawha Canal in the 1880s.<br />
<br />
In 1914, [[James B. Tindall]] purchased the store, ferry, and ferry rights. He operated the ferry until 1940 when it was taken over by the Virginia Department of Highways. <br />
<br />
After [[Hurricane Agnes]] destroyed the ferry in 1972, a new ferry was built by VDOT, and it was rededicated in September 1973. A record flood in 1985 sunk the new ferry, and the VDOT replaced it with a metal one launched in June 1986.<ref name=hattonferry>[http://www.thehattonferry.org Hatton Ferry website], Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society, retrieved 12 Jul 2009.</ref><br />
<br />
==2009 threatened closing==<br />
Amid budget cuts VDOT planned to close the ferry as part of its 2009 service reductions<ref name=vdotclosure>[http://virginiadot.org/newsroom/statewide/2009/vdot_finalizes_service_area40566.asp VDOT FINALIZES SERVICE AREA PROPOSALS], Press release, VDOT, May 20 2009 retrieved 12 Jul 2009.</ref>. The County appropriated $9,300 to keep the ferry running through October 1 2009<ref name=countyappropriation>[http://www.albemarle.org/release.asp?ID=12321&releases=current Board of Supervisors Approves Hatton Ferry Funding] Press release, Albemarle County, July 1 2009, retrieved 12 July 2009.</ref>, although the funding may be made up from donations to the ACHS<ref name=hookhistoricaltab>[http://www.readthehook.com/blog/index.php/2009/07/12/historical-society-hit-with-hatton-tab/ Historical Society hit with Hatton tab], Hawes Spencer, [[The Hook]], 12 July 2009.</ref>. <br />
<br />
In November 2006, VDOT established a December 31 deadline for the ferry to be transferred to another entity, otherwise it would be closed<ref name=ctrequiresnonprofit>{{cite web|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2009/11/hatton-ferrys-future.html|title=Hatton Ferry’s future requires a non-profit owner|author=Sean Tubbs|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow<br />
|publishdate_November 6, 2009|accessdate=16 Nov 2009}}</ref>. After Albemarle County agreed to temporarily accept ownership of the ferry, but only if a non-profit could be formed to take over its operations. <br />

==About==<br />
Ash Lawn-Highland was opened for to the public as a tourist location in 1931 by Jay Winston and Helen Lambert Johns, who operated and maintained the property until the Johns' death in 1974. Upon the Johns' passing, Ash Lawn was given to the College of William and Mary, alma mater of James Monroe. The College initiated new programs in restoration and interpretation at Ash Lawn-Highland after officially accepting the the gift from the Johns.<br />
<br />
Today, much the neighboring [[Monticello]], Ash Lawn-Highland is open for regular visitation and tours and is a revered weeding and event location. The College of William and Mary, with the help of experts in the fields of historic restoration and preservation, has made a consistent effort to maintain the historical nature of the property.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ash Lawn-Highland Home Page|url=http://www.ashlawnhighland.org/about-us.htm|author=|work=|publisher=|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=07 Jan. 2011}}</ref><br />

<div>[[File:20120605BiosolidsLandApplication.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Notice of Application of Biosolids]]<br />
'''Biosolids''' are the organic materials generated by treatment of sludge, the name for solid, semisolid, and liquid residue created during the processing of domestic sewage by a treatment facility.<ref>{{cite web|title=Water: Sewage Sludge (Biosolids)|url=http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/wastewater/treatment/biosolids/|author=|work=|publisher=United States Environmental Protection Agency|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=June 20, 2012}}</ref><br />

<br />
<br />
==Use and Practice in Albemarle County==<br />
The use and distribution of biosolids in Albemarle County has been regulated by the [[Virginia Department of Environmental Quality]] (DEQ) since 2007. Companies issued permits must present a strategy to the DEQ that ensures phosphorous and nitrogen do not enter the watershed and the recipients of the biosolids receive limits on agricultural activity following the application of the sludge.<ref name="biosludge1" /> The permits, which cost companies $5,000 plus a yearly maintenance fee of $1,231,<ref name="brief">{{cite web|title=Albemarle Supervisors briefed on state biosolids rules|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6319-albemarle-biosolids/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=|location=Charlottesville Tomorrow|publishdate=July 7, 2011|accessdate=June 21, 2012}}</ref> require that the sludge be tilled into the ground within 24 hours of application and forbids livestock from grazing on the land for 30 days.<ref name="Mallek">{{cite web|title=Mallek seeks increased scrutiny of biosolids; Recyc seeks to apply treated sewage on more acreage|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6174-biosolids-health/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=|location=Charlottesville Tomorrow|publishdate=June 28, 2011|accessdate=June 21, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality states that 12,718 dry tons of biosolids were applied in Albemarle County between January 2008 and May 2010 however, within this time period, no biosolids were applied between August 2008 and March 2009 or between December 2009 and May 2010.<ref>{{cite web|title=County of Albemarle Executive Summary|url=http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/Forms_Center/Departments/Board_of_Supervisors/Forms/Agenda/2011Files/0706/28.0_BiosolidsES.pdf|author=|work=|publisher=Albemarle County|location=|publishdate=6 July 2011|accessdate=18 July 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2011, the [[Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce]] passed a resolution supporting the regulated use of biosolids as fertilizer in the county.<ref name="Lamb" >{{cite web|title=As biosolids applications begin, practice still has champions and detractors|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12231-biosolids/|author=Ian M.

<br />
===ReCyc Systems===<br />
Since 2001, the Remington-based company, ReCyc Systems, has held permits allowing the distribution of biosolids in Albemarle County. The company is paid by the waste treatment facility that produces the sludge and delivers it to landowner, who uses it as fertilizer, free of charge. Although the permit issued to the company by the DEQ requires that localities be notified 100 days prior to application, ReCyc Systems has been cited on more than one occasion for failure to do so.<ref name="biosludge1">{{cite web|title=Landowners concerned about dumping of D.C. sewage in Albemarle|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6319-albemarle-biosolids/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=|location=Charlottesville Tomorrow|publishdate=January 31, 2011|accessdate=June 20, 2012}}</ref> In 2012, ReCyc Systems' permit allowed the application of sludge on a maximum of 6,907 acres in Albemarle County.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biosolids legislation not likely in coming General Assembly session|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5958-biosolids-update/|author=Sean Tubbs & Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=|location=Charlottesville Tomorrow|publishdate=December 21, 2011|accessdate=June 21, 2012}}</ref> ReCyc Systems has also applied to modify their permit to add 114 additional acres to their current permit. The majority of the sludge in the county comes from DC's Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant and undergoes several treatments to reduce pathogens, including adding lime to raise the level of the sludge's pH.<ref name="Mallek" /> Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant handles raw sewage from the D.C. metro area, as well as Montgomery and Prince George's Counties in Maryland and Fairfax and Loudoun Counties in Virginia.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biosolids Management Program|url=http://www.dcwater.com/education/biosolids.cfm|author=|work=|publisher=|location=District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority|publishdate=|accessdate=June 21, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Synagro===<br />
Synagro is a nationally-based organization that is also permitted to spread biosolids in Albemarle County. As of 2012, Synagro's permit allows the company to spread fertilizer on a maximum of 170.9 acres in Albemarle County.<ref name="Lamb" /><br />
<br />
==Legislation==<br />
Currently, local government is prohibited by state law from regulating the use of biosolids in their areas. In January, 2012, legislation was introduced to the General Assembly by Del. C. Todd Gilbert that would authorize individual localities to prohibit the use of biosolids. {{As of|2012|February|12}} the bill was tabled until 2013 and is unlikely to pass.<ref name="Lamb" /><br />

The '''Route 29/250 Bypass interchanges improvements''', otherwise known as the '''Best Buy Ramp''', refer to a $7.5 million project being planned by the Virginia Department of Transportation. <ref name="info-meeting">{{cite web|title=VDOT shares preliminary design for ‘Best Buy Ramp’ project|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/2429-best_buy_ramp/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 20, 2012|accessdate=June 25, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
The improvements are designed to improve the capacity of the intersection of U.S. 29 and U.S. 250. They are based on plans identified in the [[29H250 study]].<br />
<br />
In summary, the plans call for additional lane on the ramp leading from [[U.S. 29]] onto the westbound [[U.S. 250 bypass]]. This second lane will be extended all the way to the [[Barracks Road]] exit. <br />
<br />
This project is listed on the MPO Policy Board's [[Transportation Improvement Program]], indicating that it is a regional priority.<ref name=TIP>FY09-12 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. Rep. [[Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization]]. Web. 13 Oct. 2009. <http://www.tjpdc.org/pdf/TIP/FINAL_%20FY09%20TIP.pdf></ref><br />
<br />
The project was initially being planned by the [[City of Charlottesville]]. They had accrued $4.2 million in state and federal funds to implement the plan, but they required more money to complete the design. <ref>{{cite web|title=City expects 29/250 interchange improvements in 2014|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6274-best-buy-ramp-update/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=March 21, 2011|accessdate=March 21, 2011}}</ref> <br />
<br />
In 2010, the MPO asked former Congressman Tom Perriello to secure a $517,000 earmark to pay for final design, but this was not successful. The city was also expected to receive $1 million from the developer [[Edens and Avant]] as a proffer from the [[Stonefield (mixed use development)|Stonefield]] development. <br />
<br />
In the spring of 2011, VDOT assumed control of the project, but the city continued to be the source of funding. <ref name="transfer" /> VDOT is currently updating traffic data and hopes the project can be complete by November 2014. <ref name="mpo-sep2011">{{cite web|title=Charlottesville- Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization - September 12, 2011|url=http://www.tjpdc.org/agendas_and_minutes/mpoPoli/11_09_28/Project%20Tracking%20Matrix.pdf|author=|work=|publisher=Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission|location=|publishdate=September 12, 2011|accessdate=September 28, 2011}}</ref> <ref name="mpo-feb12">{{cite web|title=Design work on U.S. 29 widening to start this summer|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5892-vdot-updates/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=February 26, 2012|accessdate=February 28, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
In June 2012, the estimate for the project increased to $7.5 million following a redesign by VDOT. Plans designed by [[RK&K]] were unveiled to the public at a meeting on June 20, 2012. A second information meeting will be held in the fall of 2012. VDOT is hoping to advertise the project for bids in the fall of 2014 with construction in 2015. <ref name="info-meeting" /> <br />

<br />
Since 1971, [[Albemarle County]] government has maintained a '''Comprehensive Plan''' to regulate land use in the county. Voters approved the County’s first zoning ordinance in 1969, and the [[Board of Supervisors]] adopted the first Comprehensive Plan two years later. Since then, the Comprehensive Plan continues to shape decisions about where development should be located and in what form.<ref>David Benish presentation - need to get in MLA style</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] got a history lesson at their retreat on December 16, 2008. [[David Benish]], the County’s Chief Planner, traced the evolution of the Comprehensive Plan. Benish said the County’s growth management policy stems from the adoption of the first plan in 1971.<ref>{{cite web|author=Tubbs, Sean|title=A slideshow history of Albemarle County’s Comprehensive Plan|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6999-comp_plan_history/?preview=1?preview=1}}</ref> At that time, the County's growth area was split into 11 separate zones.<ref>Albemarle County. Department of Community Development. Places 29: A Master Plan for the Northern Development Area. 2009 DRAFT. 31 Mar. 2009. <http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/Forms_Center/Departments/Community_Development/Forms/Places29_Master_Plan/Places29_Master_Plan_1_Introduction_2_2009_Complete.pdf></ref><br />
<br />
The goals of the policy:<br />
*Promote the efficient utilization of County resources through a combination of [[Designated Development Areas]] and Rural Areas<br />
*Direct growth into Designated Development Areas<br />
*Protect Natural Scenic and Historic Resources<br />
*Discourage rural residential development other than dwellings related to a bona fide agricultural/forestal use<br />
*Strongly support and effectively implement the County’s growth management priorities in the planning and provision of transportation, and public facilities and utilities<br />
<br />
In his 30 minute presentation, Benish explained the reasons for the various updates that have been conducted over the years. For instance, the Plan was updated in 1977 in part to address the rapid siltation that was occurring at the [[South Fork Rivanna Reservoir]]. That was followed in 1980 by the so-called "[[Great rezoning|great rezoning]]" that further refined the County’s urban zoning districts and downzoned the [[rural area]]. Though the downzoning of the [[rural area]] was challenged in court, the County eventually prevailed. In 1982, the growth area boundaries were adjusted to follow the water supply watershed, except in [[Crozet]], [[Ivy]] and [[Earlysville]]. <br />
<br />
While various parts of the Comprehensive Plan come up for renewal and revisions on a periodic basis, the County is currently operating under the 1996-2016 Comprehensive Plan, which identified infill development as one of the County’s planning goals. In 1996, according to Benish, a divided Planning Commission recommended a slight expansion of the growth area. However, the Board of Supervisors did not support the expansion and instead directed staff to find ways to encourage more efficient development in the designated growth areas. That request would eventually lead to the adoption of the [[Neighborhood Model District]], which allows for denser residential development. <br />
<br />
===2012 update===<br />
[[File:20120613-Alb-CompPlan.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Key parts of the comprehensive plan assembled for a photo in June 2012]]Work on the 5-year-review of the plan will officially kick off on {{as of|2011|4|27|alt=April 27, 2011}} in a joint session with the City of Charlottesville. The two communities are coordinating their individual plan updates with assistance from a $990,000 sustainable communities grant from the [[Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission]]. <ref>{{cite web|title=City and county planning commission talk coordination, sustainability|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6267-sustainability-planning-commissions/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=March 29, 2011|accessdate=March 30, 2011}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web|title=Large turnout for kickoff of local planning effort|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6238-livable-communities/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=April 28, 2011|accessdate=April 28, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
On October 11 2011 The Albemarle Planning Commission voted 4-2 to end requests to expand the county’s designated growth areas as part of the Comprehensive Plan review.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/10/commission-denies-expansion.htm|title=Albemarle planning commission votes against growth area expansion|author=Sean Tubbs|publishdate=Oct 12 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Master Plans==<br />
When the Neighborhood Model District was adopted in 2001, it was recommended that all of the 11 designated growth areas be master planned. So far, only two plans have been adopted.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Comprehensive Plan Database===<br />
In July 2012, the TJPDC unveiled a searchable database that allows the public to view and compare documents from the Charlottesville and Albemarle County Comprehensive Plans. The database was developed through a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and contains over 12,000 documents.<ref>{{cite web|title=Many plans, one database|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12569-many-plans-one-database/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=July 30, 2012|accessdate=July 31, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The TJPDC was created in 1972 in order to "promote the orderly and efficient development of the physical, social, and economic elements of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District by planning and encouraging and assisting governmental subdivisions to<br />
plan for the future.<ref>United Jefferson Area Mobility Plan 2035. Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, 27 May 2009. Web. 30 June 2009.<http://www.unjam.org/></ref><br />
<br />
==Livable Communities Planning Project==<br />
{{current|section}}<br />
In October 2010, TJPDC received a three-year $999,000 grant to develop a regional sustainability implementation plan. The '''Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant''' is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. <ref>{{cite web|title=|url=http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2010/oct/15/999000-awarded-area-promote-jobs-economic-growth-ar-565293/|author=|work=|publisher=Daily Progress|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=21 Oct. 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
Billie Campbell, TJPDC's Chief Operating Officer, said it was a highly competitive grant application process with 225 submissions, 45 awards, and only 3 in Virginia (Roanoke, Radford, and Charlottesville).<ref>[[Planning and Coordination Council]] Meeting. City Space, Charlottesville. 21 Oct. 2010. Public Meeting.</ref><br />
<br />
Campbell shared the following additional details about the grant:<br />
* '''Lead applicant''': [[Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission]] and [[Metropolitan Planning Organization]]<br />
* '''Major Partners''': [[City of Charlottesville]], [[Albemarle County]], [[University of Virginia]]<br />
* '''Other partners''': [[Jefferson Area Board for Aging]], [[Thomas Jefferson Partnership for Economic Development]], [[Rivanna River Basin Commission]], and [[Local Energy Alliance Program]]<br />
* A Sustainability Advisory Committee will be created.<br />
* The Technical Committee of the area [[Planning and Coordination Council]] will serve as a steering committee for the project.<br />
* Three contract staff (one each for Charlottesville, Albemarle and UVA) will be hired for 2.5 years and work out of TJPDC. No outside consultants are expected to be utilized on the project.<br />
<br />
'''Summary of Objectives and Expected Results'''<br />
<br />
:"The existing Regional Plan for Sustainable Development in the Charlottesville/Albemarle metro area is the [[Sustainability Accords]]. These policies were adopted in 1998 as a result of a four-year process with broad regional support and wide participation by members of the public..."<br />
<br />
:"Four problems have been identified that are preventing sustainability initiatives from moving into implementation in the region:<br />
::*'''Problem''': Sustainability planning has been proceeding, but under a series of separately focused initiatives...<br />
::*'''Problem''': Sustainability goals have been established in major plans (Comprehensive Plans for Charlottesville and Albemarle County, MPO Long Range Transportation Plan) in the region but strategies for implementation have not been developed and adopted...<br />
::*'''Problem''': Sustainability is not being fully implemented in either the built environment or in the habitats of citizens and businesses...<br />
::*'''Problem''': Lack of available metrics to identify the region's status in pursuing sustainability..."<ref>Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. Applicant Abstract: Charlottesville Region Sustainability Implementation Plan. Charlottesville, Oct. 2010. Print.</ref><br />
<br />
The [[Charlottesville Planning Commission]] and [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] will discuss how implementation will affect their work at a joint session {{as of|2011|3|22|alt=on March 22, 2011}}. <br />
<br />
===Tea Party opposition===<br />
The [[Jefferson Area Tea Party]] is skeptical of the grant, and is concerned it is a sign that international organizations have usurped power that they say belongs to local officials. <ref>{{cite web|title=Tea Party hosting forum to review local sustainability initiatives|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6277-tea_party_sustainability/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=March 17, 2011|accessdate=March 17, 2011}}</ref><br />

<div>'''Chloramines''' are a secondary water treatment chemical created by combining ammonia with chlorine. The [[Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority]] staff decided to use chloramines instead of traditional chlorine in order to meet new EPA requirements by 2014.<ref name=B/> On July 25, 2012, the RWSA, in collaboration with the [[Albemarle County Service Authority]], the [[Charlottesville City Council]], and the [[Albemarle Board of Supervisors]] unanimously decided to end consideration of chloramines as a water treatment option.<ref name="Grits" /><ref name=cvilleoff>{{cite-cville|url=http://www.c-ville.com/public-outcry-chloramines-filtration/|title=Chloramine complaints drive decision to go with costlier water filtration|author=Graelyn Brashear|publishdate=August 2, 2012|accessdate=August 27, 2012}}</ref><br />

<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
* March 2011- The consulting firm, [[Hazen and Sawyer]], began conducting studies to determine how the RWSA could meet new requirements detailed in Stage 2 of the Disinfectant Byproduct Rule and staff from the the [[Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority|RWSA]], the [[City Council|city of Charlottesville]] and the [[Albemarle County Service Authority]] agreed to recommend the addition of chloramines to the RWSA's next capital budget. <br />
* May 2011- The RWSA authorized the chloramines project.<br />
* February 2012- The capital improvement budget is approved and chloramines gain the public's attention.<br />
* June 21, 2012- "Safe Water Symposium" is held, featuring a panel of experts on both sides of the chloramine debate.<ref name=C/><br />
* June 2012- Local officials meet with EPA officials to discuss chloramines and granular activated carbon filtration.<ref name=EPA/><br />
* July 25, 2012- A meeting of the four boards responsible for the water supply, the RWSA, the ASCA, City Council, and Albemarle Board of Supervisors, met to hear the public's opinion and discuss water treatment options. They unanimously decided to no longer pursue chloramines as an option.<ref name="Grits" /><br />
<br />
==EPA Requirements==<br />
The [[Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority]] must meet Stage 2 of the Disinfectant Byproduct Rule by 2014.<ref name=B>{{cite web|title=Safety of chloramines questioned: Disinfectant to be added into local water supply starting in 2014|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5871-chloramines/|author=Courtney Beale and [[Brian Wheeler]]|work=|publisher=[[Charlottesville Tomorrow]]|location=|publishdate=13 March 2012|accessdate=20 June 2012}}</ref> This requires that the levels of haloacitic acids be less than 60 parts per billion and trihalomethane levels be less than 80 ppb.<ref name=B/> The requirements must be met by 2014 or the RWSA risks up to $25,000 of fines for every day it is not in compliance.<ref name=A/> Haloacitic acids and trihalomethanes are carcinogenic when ingested in high doses. They are created when chlorine or chloramines interact with organic matter in water.<ref name=B/> <br />
<br />
==Hazen and Sawyer==<br />
The consulting firm [[Hazen and Sawyer]] was hired by the RWSA to research options that would allow the RWSA to meet the EPA’s requirements. <ref name=A>{{cite web|title=Water authority and activists preparing for chloramines information session|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5744-chloramines/|author=Courtney Beale|work=|publisher=[[Charlottesville Tomorrow]]|location=|publishdate=18 June 2012|accessdate=20 June 2012}}</ref> <br />
<br />
==Alternatives==<br />
[[Hazen and Sawyer]] researched other possibilities for meeting the EPA's new requirements. The processes they evaluated were chloramine residual disinfection, ultra-violet disinfection with chloramine residual disinfection, magnetic ion exchange resin, granular activated carbon contactors, and nanofiltration.<ref>Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority. Executive Summary. Charlottesville: Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, 2012. Web. [http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/docs/water/20110700-Hazen-Sawyer-Stage2DPB.pdf]</ref>. <br />
<br />
Hazen and Sawyer and the RWSA estimated the addition of chloramines to cost around $5 million. <ref name=C/> The next option was granular activated carbon filtration which was estimated to cost around $18.3 million <ref name=C/><br />
<br />
In response to concerns about health concerns and the high cost of carbon filtration (GAC). The RWSA and Hazen and Sawyer developed a 'hybrid' GAC option, which would involve running large amounts of water through GAC filters and then combining it with regularly treated water to reduce byproducts.<ref name="Grits" /> It would be less expensive than traditional GAC and would not involve chloramines.<ref name="Grits" /><br />
<br />
==Response from the Public==<br />
In response to public concerns about the safety of chloramines use, the RWSA held a "Safe Water Symposium" on the pro's and con's of chloramines on June 21, 2012. <ref name=C>{{cite web|title=More than a hundred residents come to chloramines panel|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5743-chloramines/|author=[[Brian Wheeler]]|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=21 June 2012|accessdate=22 June 2012}}</ref> The event featured a panel of experts consisting of Dwight Flammia, a toxicologist with the [[Virginia Department of Health]]; Jerry Higgins, superintendant manager of the Blacksburg-area water authority, which uses chloramines; Jim Moore, a professional engineer with the VDH; [[Ben Stanford]], director of applied research at the RWSA and consultant with [[Hazen and Sawyer]]; and Steve Vaya from the Washington, D.C. office of the American Waterworks Association.<ref name=A/> Other panelists were Marc Edwards, a Virginia Tech civil and environmental engineering professor who studied the correlation between Washington’s use of chloramines and its problems with lead leaching; Robert Bowcock, the environmental investigator for Integrated Resource Management; and Susan Pickford of the Chloramines Information Center.<br />
<br />
At the meeting, some members of the public supported the use of granular activated carbon filtration instead of chloramines. They listed concerns about the potential health effects of chloramination and supported granular activated carbon filtration's ability to remove numerous pathogens from water. <br />
<br />
In response to public concerns, City Councilor [[Kathy Galvin]], Supervisors [[Kenneth C. Boyd]] and [[Duane E. Snow]], as well as RWSA executive director [[Thomas L. Frederick, Jr.]] met with EPA officials in July 2012 to discuss chloramines and granular activated carbon. Following the meeting, the local officials reported that the EPA supported both treatment alternatives and still considered chloramines to be safe and effective. The EPA also reported that recent studies suggest carcinogen risks may be lower with chloramines compared with free chlorine.<ref name=EPA>{{cite web|title=As scientific debate continues, local officials hear from EPA on chloramines|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12506-chloramines/|author=[[Brian Wheeler]] & Courtney Beale|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=July 23, 2012|accessdate=July 23, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
==July 2012 Public Hearing==<br />
Following the June 2012 symposium, a public hearing was scheduled for July 25, 2012 to receive public comment from the Charlottesville-Albemarle community.<ref>{{cite web|title=Local officials and residents reflect on chloramines and prepare for public hearing|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12328-chloramines/|author=Courtney Beale|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=15 July, 2012|accessdate=18 July, 2012}}</ref> The meeting, which was led by the RWSA, the [[Albemarle County Service Authority]], the [[Charlottesville City Council]], and the [[Albemarle Board of Supervisors]] to discuss potential changes to water treatment and receive public comment.

'''Stonefield''' (formerly known as '''Albemarle Place''') is a [[neighborhood model]] project being developed on 65 acres surrounding the [[Sperry Marine]] facility at the northwestern corner of the intersection of [[US Route 29]] and [[Hydraulic Road]]. The South Carolina-based [[Edens]], formerly known as Edens and Avant, are the current owners of the property. <ref name=CBJ/><br />
<br />
The site for Stonefield has been noted as an "extremely challenging"<ref>{{cite web|title=Amid challenges, Stonefield garners some positive feedback|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6071-trader_joes/|author=Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, VA|publishdate=October 5, 2011|accessdate=December 14, 2011}}</ref> design environment, with developers having to negotiate the neighborhood model's requirement of inwardly facing buildings and sequestered parking lots, while also satisfying the [[Architectural Review Board]]'s design considerations for the Hydraulic Road and Route 29 [[County's Entrance Corridors|entrance corridors]]. <br />
<br />
The original rezoning was approved by the [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Albemarle Place: More than traffic under review|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7777-albemarle_place_1/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, VA|publishdate=February 7, 2006|accessdate=August 27, 2012}}</ref> in October of 2003.

==Project history==<br />
===Early History===<br />
The original developer of the project was the [[Landonomics Group]] with the [[Cox Company]] serving as project engineer. The original land use request was an application to rezone 63.7 acres from C-1 (Commercial) and LI (Light Industry) to NMD ([[Neighborhood Model District]]) to allow a 1.8 million square feet mixed-use development running from [[Hydraulic Road]] up US 29. The rezoning of Albemarle Place to Neighborhood Model was approved on October 23, 2003.<ref>Cilimberg, V. Wayne. "RE: ZMA-2001-007-Albemarle Place." Letter to Frank D. Cox, Jr. 13 Nov. 2003. Charlottesville Tomorrow's Document Archive. Web. 25 June 2010. <http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/docs/20031118-Albemarle-Place-Approval-Letter.pdf>.</ref> Originally named '''Albemarle Place''', Edens renamed the project in January 2011 to [[Stonefield (mixed use development)|Stonefield]].<ref>{{cite-hook|title=Good-bye, Albemarle Place.

===Architectural review===<br />
Stonefield received a certificate of appropriateness from the ARB on October 17, 2011 for its first major portion of site plans, covering nine buildings including the Trader Joe's at the corner of Hydraulic and 29.<ref>{{cite web|title=Stonefield hits approval milestone|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6041-stonefield/|author=Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=October 18, 2011|accessdate=December 14, 2011}}</ref> The Regal Cinemas building was also approved at that meeting. Brick color on the Trader Joe's building was controversial, and the board required Edens' architects to return with an alternative to the white painted bricks. Board members Chuck Lebo and [[Paul Wright]] were consistently against white bricks, forcing a 2-2 tie vote against Edens' revised unpainted white brick choice. The full board later voted 3-2 on December 5, 2011 to allow the unpainted white brick.<ref>{{cite web|title=Architectural Review Board finally approves Trader Joe’s brick color|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/5974-white_stone_bricks/|author=Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=December 6, 2011|accessdate=December 14, 2011}}</ref> <br />
<br />
The [[Architectural Review Board]] provided initial feedback at a meeting on May 16, 2011 and stated the corner of U.S. 29 and Hydraulic Road is one of the most important in the county. <ref>{{cite web|title=ARB ACTION MEMO|url=http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/Community_Development/forms/arb_action_memos/FINAL_ARB_5_16_2011_action_memo.pdf|author=|work=|publisher=|location=|publishdate=May 16, 2011|accessdate=May 24, 2011}}</ref> In late June 2011, they indicated they could not support the design of the Trader Joe's and Regal Cinemas because they were not similar to previously approved plans.<ref>{{cite web|title=ARB challenges design for Stonefield’s theater and grocery store|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6175-stonefield/|author=|work=Tracie Cabler and Brian Wheeler|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 26, 2011|accessdate=June 27, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Construction plans===<br />
The project will be constructed in two phases by [[Faulconer Construction]].<ref name="factsheet" /> The first will see the construction of a 270,000 square feet of retail, a central plaza and 245 residential units.<ref name="factsheet"/> The second phase will include a 135-room hotel and more residential units.<ref>{{cite-cville|title=Former Albemarle Place awaits start|url=http://www.c-ville.com/Former_Albemarle_Place_awaits_start/|author=Chiara Canzi|pageno=|printno=|printdate=March 15, 2011|publishdate=March 15, 2011|accessdate=March 15, 2011}}</ref> Officials with Edens & Avant confirmed in January 2012 that the hotel will be a Hyatt Place.<ref>{{cite-cville|title=Stonefield still slated for 137-room hotel, says developer|url=http://www.c-ville.com/Stonefield_still_slated_for_137_room_hotel_says_developer/|author=C-Ville Writers|pageno=|printno=|printdate=January 25, 2012|publishdate=January 25, 2012|accessdate=January 25, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Stormwater violation===<br />
On June 1, 2012, the [[Department of Neighborhood Development Services]] served the developers with a violation notice following the developer's decision to open a 72-inch pipe that carries stormwater. The pipe was to remain closed until the developers added erosion control measures to the drainage channel.<ref>{{cite web|title=Stonefield's grading and stormwater reviewed by Albemarle|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12318-stonefield-vegetation/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=July 11, 2012|accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref> The violation was appealed to City Council on July 16, 2012, but council upheld the decision unanimously.<ref>{{cite web|title=Council upholds Stonefield stormwater violation; Edens uncertain of next steps|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12397-stonefield_stormwater_appeal/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=July 18, 2012|accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref> In August 2012, Edens appealed the Council's decision in Charlottesville Circuit Court, arguing that they fulfilled their duties toward erosion control. The brief also claims that Great Eastern Management Co., one of the companies who owns the land through which the water drains, is using City Council's decision to try to force Edens to bear the cost of improvements on the land to benefit future development of [[Seminole Square Shopping Center]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Stonefield developer files appeal in circuit court|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12741-stonefield-developer-files-appeal-against-city-/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 26, 2012|accessdate=August 27, 2012}}</ref><br />

==Sewer capacity==<br />
At their meeting on September 10, 2008, [[Albemarle County Service Authority]] Executive Director [[Gary Fern]] told the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors that it was his understanding that the Albemarle Place developers would be paying the costs for the sewer connection to the RWSA's [[Meadowcreek Interceptor]]. The Supervisors were told that the sewer capacity would be in place and available when Edens is ready to move forward with the development.<ref>{{cite web|title=Supervisors updated on sewer capacity for Albemarle Place and North Pointe|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7079-acsa-update/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=October 7, 2008|accessdate=March 2, 2009}}</ref> A separate upgrade of the capacity of the [[Meadowcreek Interceptor]], necessary to support Albemarle Place, is under construction.<br />

<div>'''Panorama Farms''' is an estate in [[Earlysville]], Virginia named for its views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Panorama Farms was established in 1953 by [[James Murray]] and his wife, [[Jean Brundred Murray]], who moved to the area from New York. The farm was a conventional farm for many years invested in agricultural endeavors, and in 1996 the Murray family established Panorama Pay-Dirt, a company that produces and sells quality compost for the local area.<ref>{{cite web|title=About the Farm|url=http://panoramaeventsva.com/about-panorama-farms/|author=|work=|publisher=|location=Panorama Events|publishdate=|accessdate=June 7, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2012, the family established their farm as a local venue for weddings. They received a special use permit from the [[Board of Supervisors]] in June 2012. <ref>{{cite web|title=Panorama Farms to begin hosting weddings|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/9-panorama_farms/|author=Ian M. Lamb|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 8, 2012|accessdate=June 15, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Dredging===<br />
In July 2012 the [[Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority]] announced plans to begin dredging the [[South Fork Rivanna Reservoir]]. Orion Marine Construction Incorporated has stated that materials culled from the reservoir will be pumped to Panorama Farms' Pay-Dirt operation and excess water will be returned to the reservoir.<ref>{{cite web|title=RWSA in talks to dredge South Fork reservoir|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12558-south-fork-dredging/|author=Courtney Beale & Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=July 27, 2012|accessdate=July 30, 2012}}</ref> However, while the Farm has been surveyed by engineers from the firm, no business relationship exists as yet.<ref>{{cite web|title=Panorama Farms wants answers on dredging|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12612-panorama-dredging/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 6, 2012|accessdate=August 8, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />

}}The '''Western Bypass''' is a plan for a limited-access road bypassing commercial areas of [[U.S. Route 29]] to the west of [[Charlottesville]].<br />
{{current}}<br />
<br />
==Route==<br />
The Western Bypass is a long-proposed 6.2-mile road to provide a limited access bypass of the commercial area on Route 29. The stated purpose of the project is to provide a bypass for Route 29 through traffic around the Charlottesville metropolitan area. The bypass also provides a direct connection from U.S. 29 north to the North Grounds of the University of Virginia.<br />
<br />
==Costs and funding==<br />
A cost estimate produced on July 21, 2011 puts the total cost estimate for the road at $235 million. <ref>{{cite web|title=VDOT Dashboard|url=http://dashboard.virginiadot.org/Pages/Projects/EngineeringDetailStudies.aspx?prj_nbr=16160|author=|work=|publisher=Virginia Department of Transportation|location=|publishdate=Virginia Department of Transportation|accessdate=August 18, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2011, Commonwealth Transportation Board member James Rich said he estimated the Western Bypass would cost between $250 million and $300 million.<ref name="ctb" /> In 2005, the [[Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce]] estimated the price at $271-280 million. VDOT provided the [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]] an official estimate of $166 million on March 1, 2006, but in doing so acknowledged the cost model on this project may not be comprehensive.<br />
<br />
==Overturning MPO opposition==<br />
In July 1996, the [[MPO Policy Board]] passed a resolution barring VDOT from allocating any money towards construction of the project. In November 2002, the MPO adopted a transportation improvement plan that stated “the project as designed does not meet community or regional needs, and has been determined too costly for the transportation benefits to be gained.”<ref name="thomas-MPO">{{cite web|title=Supervisor Thomas calls for MPO to change western bypass policy|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6210-mpo-bypass-policy/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=May 26, 2011|accessdate=June 22, 2011}}</ref> The Board of Supervisors voted on June 8, 2011 to direct their representatives on the MPO to vote to remove that language. <ref name="dorrier-switch">{{cite web|title=Dorrier makes late-night switch to revive Western Bypass|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6192-western-bypass-revival/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 9, 2011|accessdate=June 22, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Resurrection ==<br />
Many people in the community thought the project was out of consideration until Albemarle County Supervisor [[Rodney Thomas]] indicated in May 2011 he wanted the MPO to drop its opposition to the allocation of construction funding.<ref name="thomas-MPO" /> Around $36 million has been used for the purchase of right-of-way along the route. The project had been on VDOT's six-year improvement program for many years, but there has been no additional funding allocated to the project since 2002, except for maintenance of rental properties VDOT manages. <br />
<br />
In June 2011 the [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]] changed its policy position to support the Western Bypass.<ref name="dorrier-switch" /> The board was previously opposed to the bypass until other road projects were completed (see [[Three Party Agreement]]). {{as of|2011|06}}, the Western Bypass is scheduled for public hearings before the [[Metropolitan Planning Organization]] in July 2011. Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton has promised to find funding for the bypass, and the widening of U.S. Route 29 between Polo Grounds Road and Hollymead Town Center, if local opposition to the project is eliminated by the MPO.<ref name="ctb">{{cite web|title=No state funding for Western Bypass yet|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6185-ctb-bypass/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=16 June 2011|accessdate=20 June 2011}}</ref><br><br>The current official position of VDOT is that some land for right of way has been acquired, but construction is not planned by the [[Commonwealth Transportation Board]] and no funding is provided for construction.<ref name="ctb" /> <br />
<br />
That changed when the CTB allocated $197 million in funding to the project at their meeting on July 20, 2011. <ref>{{cite web|title=Uncertainty remains over public process for bypass action|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6181-bypass-public-hearings-1/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 21, 2011|accessdate=June 6, 2011}}</ref> On June 24, 2011, VDOT Commissioner Gregory A. Whirley sent a letter to MPO Director Steve Williams formally requesting the MPO amend its [[UNJAM 2035|constrained long-range transportation plan]] to include the bypass. While the letter states that there is a 'reasonable assurance' of funding, the MPO will not be given details of how the project will be funded until after the July meeting. <ref>{{cite web|title=Reasonable Assurance of Funding for Key Albemarle County Transportation Projects|url=http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/File:20110624-VDOT-Letter-to-MPO.pdf|author=Gregory A. Whirley, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Transportation|work=|publisher=Virginia Department of Transportation|location=|publishdate=June 24, 2011|accessdate=June 27, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
Officials in both Lynchburg and Danville have demanded the bypass be constructed. <ref>{{cite web|title=Charlottesville bypass again being sought|url=http://www2.godanriver.com/news/2010/dec/27/charlottesville-bypass-again-being-sought-ar-739188/|author=Denice Thibodeau|work=|publisher=Danville Register & Bee|location=|publishdate=December 27, 2010|accessdate=December 28, 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Future of right of way?===<br />
Part of the reason for the speedy resurrection was the fate of land purchased for the project. The first parcels were purchased in 1991. State code requires property acquired by VDOT to be offered back to the original owner twenty-years after purchase if the project is not active.<ref>{{cite web|title=Virginia Code Section 33. 1-90|url=http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+33.1-90|author=|work=|publisher=Commonwealth of Virginia|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=June 22, 2011}}</ref> The code has several exceptions, including the allowance of an extension if the project has been in litigation. <br />
<br />
In 2007, State Senator Steve Newman of Lynchburg requested an opinion from then-Attorney General Bob McDonnell about whether the [[Metropolitan Planning Organization|Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization]] would be required to pay back the money expended so far on the project if the MPO removed the project from its Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan.<ref>McDonnell, Robert. "AG Op. HIGHWAYS, BRIDGES AND FERRIES: TRANSPORTATION BOARD, 2007 Va. AG 102 (07-069) HIGHWAYS, BRIDGES AND FERRIES: TRANSPORTATION BOARD — ALLOCATION OF HIGHWAY FUNDS — MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS." Web. 23 Aug. 2010. <http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/docs/20071004-AG-opinion-on-bypass.pdf>.</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Opinions of the Attorney General and report to the Governor of Virginia 2007|url=http://www.vaag.com/Opinions%20and%20Legal%20Resources/Annual_Reports/2007%20Annual%20Report_secured.pdf|author=|work=|publisher=Attorneyy General, Commonwealth of Virginia|location=|publishdate=|accessdate=12 July 2011}}</ref> McDonnell's office concluded that in this situation, if the Federal Highway Administration requested reimbursement, VDOT would be required to reimburse the federal government. Additionally, VDOT would deduct all state funds spend so far on the project from the highway construction funds allocated to the Culpeper District of VDOT where the Western Bypass would be located.<br />
<br />
Following McDonnell's October 2007 determination, Virginia Secretary of Transportation Pierce Homer [http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/File:20071221-29Bypass-Homer-ROW.pdf wrote a letter dated December 21, 2007] to CTB member [[John Davies]] regarding the status of Western Bypass right of way and federal funding invested in the project. The major conclusion is: "If decisions are made not to build, any available revenues after covering expenditures on the projects should be available to use toward other projects in the Culpeper District." This letter is cited by bypass opponents as evidence that even after 20 years, the ROW investment will not be lost back to the federal government.<br />
<br />
However, Connaughton said he believed in McDonnell's interpretation of federal law and cited the possibility of being forced to sell the right of way as one reason to proceed. <br />
<br />
===RFP===<br />
On September 27, 2011, VDOT issued a request for proposals to design and build the highway. <ref>{{cite web|title=VDOT ISSUES REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR RT. 29 BYPASS|url=http://www.virginiadot.org/newsroom/statewide/2011/vdot_issues_request_for54540.asp|author=Shannon Marshall|work=|publisher=Virginia Department of Transportation|location=Richmond, Virginia|publishdate=September 27, 2011|accessdate=October 26, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
Ten construction firms answered the RFP with Submittals of Qualifications and nine of those qualified and moved on to the second stage, in which they will submit proposals by April 17, 2012<ref>{{cite web|title=9 Firms qualified for Charlottesville Bypass RFP|url=http://www.virginiadot.org/newsroom/culpeper/2011/9_firms_qualified_for55531.asp|author=Tamara Rollison|work=|publisher=Virginia Department of Transportation|location=Richmond, VA|publishdate=December 16, 2011|accessdate=December 21, 2011}}</ref>.<br />

===Contract===<br />
In June of 2012 the [[Commonwealth Transportation Board]] awarded the $135 million contract to Virginia Beach-based Skanska Branch Highways team. The contract was awarded over objections raised by [[VDOT's Culpeper District]] representative, [[James Rich]], who argued in favor of the [[Places29 Master Plan]] as a more cost-effective alternative.<ref name="award">{{cite web|title=Western Bypass contract awarded|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/2428-western_bypass/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, VA|publishdate=June 20, 2012|accessdate=June 25, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Opposition==<br />
Several organizations have emerged in opposition to the proposed bypass, including the [[Southern Environmental Law Center]] and the [[Piedmont Environmental Council]]. Groups that oppose the plan argue that the bypass will negatively impact the landscape of the area and will accomplish little to alleviate traffic on 29.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bypass plans raise questions|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12286-bypass-questions/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, VA|publishdate=July 3, 2012|accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref> In July 2012, the SELC, in collaboration with the [[Piedmont Environmental Council]], released a plan presenting alternatives to the 6.2 mile bypass that included [[Berkmar Drive Extended]] and the so-called [[Best Buy Ramp]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Bypass opponents launch campaign to promote alternatives|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12322-bypass-opponents-launch-campaign-to-promote-altern/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, VA|publishdate=July 12, 2012|accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref><br />

==Dennis Rooker's disclosure ==<br />
On June 16, 2002, Rooker filed a transactional disclosure statement with the county attorney's office explaining his potential conflict of interest involving the proposed [[Western Bypass]] of U.S. 29. Rooker and his wife owns 7.1% of Roslyn Ridge LC, which owns a portion of land adjacent to the bypass. The document contains a statement that Rooker is "able to participate" in votes related to the bypass because many other parties have an interest in the outcome of the case as well. <ref name="disclosure">{{cite web|title=Transactional Disclosure Statement|url=http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/File:20020616-Rooker-Bypass-Disclosure.pdf|author=|work=|publisher=Albemarle County|location=Albemarle County|publishdate=June 16, 2002|accessdate=June 22, 2011}}</ref><br />

In December 2009 it was learned the the developer may donate the land to the Commonwealth of Virginia for a new state park,<ref>{{cite web|author=Wheeler, Brian|title=Biscuit Run may become state park|work=Charlottesville Tomorrow News Center|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|publishdate=9 Dec. 2009. |accessdate= 11 Dec. 2009. |url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6640-biscuit_run/}}</ref> and in January the land became the [[Biscuit Run State Park]].<br />
<br />
==Impacts on infrastructure==<br />
The [[Board of Supervisors]] agreed in July 2007 to accept several key pieces of infrastructure that the developer offered,<ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run: A detailed look at the discussion on parks, transportation, and water needs|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7492-biscuit_run/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=July 16, 2007|accessdate=August 27, 2012}}</ref><br />
* accepted $1 million as an up-front cash proffer to support a [[Regional Transit Authority|new City-County public transit authority]];<br />
* accepted a 402 acre park proffer (the development is on 828 other acres);<br />
* determined water and sewer needs would be adequately addressed;<br />
* made recommendations for a future road connection to [[Mill Creek South]]; <br />
<br />
==Rezoning==<br />
===A history of the project prior to the rezoning===<br />
The [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] unanimously recommended denial of the rezoning on March 27, 2007. About eighty-five people attended the public hearing and about twenty-seven of them provided feedback when the Commission took public comment. Two residents expressed optimism and a positive opinion on the Biscuit Run development. Two adjoining property owners, the [[Covenant School]] and [[Habitat for Humanity]] (who acquired the Southwood neighborhood), also expressed their support for Biscuit Run. The remaining twenty-three speakers expressed a variety of concerns including transportation needs and traffic safety, environmental degradation, water and sewer infrastructure, and the general need for more detailed information on the plan before a decision is made.<br />
<br />
After the denial, the Board of Supervisors referred the development back to the Planning Commission on April 4, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run returns to the Planning Commission|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7560-biscuit_run/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=April 8, 2007|accessdate=February 27, 2009}}</ref> They did so at the request of the developer who had expressed a preference for responding to the outstanding questions identified by staff and the Planning Commission before the project is considered by the Board. <br />
<br />
The [[Albemarle County Planning Commission]] unanimously approved the project on May 29, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biscuit Run approved by the Planning Commission|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7525-biscuit_run/|author=Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=May 29, 2007|accessdate=February 27, 2009}}</ref> <br />
<br />
===September 11, 2007 Public Hearing===<br />
The [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]] voted 6-0 to approve a rezoning for the Biscuit Run development on September 12, 2007. The approval came after 1:00 AM after a public hearing that itself only began at 10:00 PM. <ref>{{cite web|title=4,300 homes approved for Biscuit Run|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7442-biscuit/|author=Sean Tubbs & Brian Wheeler|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, Virginia|publishdate=September 13, 2007|accessdate=February 27, 2009}}</ref> This will be the largest residential development ever in Albemarle County. <br />
<br />
The County accepted an estimated $41,150,000 in proffers in connection with the rezoning. Without the rezoning, Supervisors said the developer could have built between 1,000 and 1,400 homes on the property by-right.<br />
<br />
"This will be the gold standard for the neighborhood model plan," said developer [[Hunter Craig]] during his public comment before the Board. <br />
<br />
During the public meeting, many people requested that the Board postpone action until a full environmental impact assessment could be made. Many residents of the [[Mill Creek South]] neighborhood spoke in cautious support of the project, because a proposed connection between the two neighborhoods will now be built as a walking trail. Other speakers expressed concern about increased traffic on Route 20 and the adequacy of water and sewer capacity.<br />
<br />
Several neighbors spoke in favor of the project, saying they look forward to using some of the shops, parks and trails that will be built as a result. Ron Sykes, the Headmaster of the [[Covenant School]] to the north of the development, said Biscuit Run would be "complementary to our campus."<br />
<br />
"We don't have legal authority to require a developer to do an environmental impact study," said Supervisor [[Dennis Rooker]]. He added that the [[Neighborhood Model]] would help reduce the impact of the development on the region, while allowing residents to get to several destinations on foot.<br />
<br />
Supervisor [[David Slutzky]] said he was pleased that transit became a major component of the proposal. "It's really a poster child for how a proposal can make its way through our process," he said.<br />
<br />
Former Supervisor [[David Wyant]] said that the proposal is a good example of how a public-private partnership work. He added that the level of scrutiny that has gone into this proposal has improved the process by strengthening erosion-control requirements.<br />
<br />
==From development area to state park==<br />
In December 2009, the state of Virginia purchased the land from the developers, [[Forest Lodge LLC]], for $9.8 million plus $11.7 million in tax credits. Forest Lodge had asked for $31.2 million in credits, pointing to an appraisal of $87.7 million for the 1,200 acres<ref>{{cite-cville|title=State paid Biscuit Run one-third of what developers sought|url=http://www.c-ville.com/State_paid_Biscuit_run_one_third_of_what_developers_sought/|author=Will Goldsmith|pageno=|printno=|printdate=|publishdate=December 28, 2010|accessdate=August 22, 2012}}</ref> However, the state only granted $11.7 million in tax credits, prompting Forest Lodge LLC to not get the amount they felt they deserved, they filed suit in November 2011 against the Virginia Department of Taxation in Albemarle County Circuit Court.<ref>{{cite-cville|title=Biscuit Run update: Forest Lodge takes tax department to court|url=http://www.c-ville.com/Biscuit_Run_update_Forest_Lodge_takes_tax_department_to_court/|author=Brendan Fitzgerald|pageno=|printno=|printdate=|publishdate=November 7, 2011|accessdate=August 22, 2012}}</ref><br />

'''Stonefield''' (formerly known as '''Albemarle Place''') is a [[neighborhood model]] project being developed on 65 acres surrounding the [[Sperry Marine]] facility at the northwestern corner of the intersection of [[US Route 29]] and [[Hydraulic Road]]. The South Carolina-based [[Edens]], formerly known as Edens and Avant, are the current owners of the property. <ref name=CBJ/><br />
<br />
The site for Stonefield has been noted as an "extremely challenging"<ref>{{cite web|title=Amid challenges, Stonefield garners some positive feedback|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/10/trader_joes.html|author=Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=Charlottesville, VA|publishdate=October 5, 2011|accessdate=December 14, 2011}}</ref> design environment, with developers having to negotiate the neighborhood model's requirement of inwardly facing buildings and sequestered parking lots, while also satisfying the [[Architectural Review Board]]'s design considerations for the Hydraulic Road and Route 29 [[County's Entrance Corridors|entrance corridors]]. <br />
<br />
The original rezoning was approved by the [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]] <ref>[http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2006/02/albemarle_place_1.html Albemarle Place: More than traffic under review]</ref> in October of 2003.

<br />
==Project history==<br />
===Early History===<br />
The original developer of the project was the [[Landonomics Group]] with the [[Cox Company]] serving as project engineer. The original land use request was an application to rezone 63.7 acres from C-1 (Commercial) and LI (Light Industry) to NMD ([[Neighborhood Model District]]) to allow a 1.8 million square feet mixed-use development running from [[Hydraulic Road]] up US 29. The rezoning of Albemarle Place to Neighborhood Model was approved on October 23, 2003.<ref>Cilimberg, V. Wayne. "RE: ZMA-2001-007-Albemarle Place." Letter to Frank D. Cox, Jr. 13 Nov. 2003. Charlottesville Tomorrow's Document Archive. Web. 25 June 2010. <http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/docs/20031118-Albemarle-Place-Approval-Letter.pdf>.</ref> Originally named '''Albemarle Place''', Edens renamed the project in January 2011 to [[Stonefield (mixed use development)|Stonefield]].<ref>{{cite-hook|title=Good-bye, Albemarle Place.

<br />
===Architectural review===<br />
Stonefield received a certificate of appropriateness from the ARB on October 17, 2011 for its first major portion of site plans, covering nine buildings including the Trader Joe's at the corner of Hydraulic and 29.<ref>{{cite web|title=Stonefield hits approval milestone|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/10/stonefield.html|author=Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=October 18, 2011|accessdate=December 14, 2011}}</ref> The Regal Cinemas building was also approved at that meeting. Brick color on the Trader Joe's building was controversial, and the board required Edens' architects to return with an alternative to the white painted bricks. Board members Chuck Lebo and [[Paul Wright]] were consistently against white bricks, forcing a 2-2 tie vote against Edens' revised unpainted white brick choice. The full board later voted 3-2 on December 5, 2011 to allow the unpainted white brick.<ref>{{cite web|title=Architectural Review Board finally approves Trader Joe’s brick color|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/12/white_stone_bricks.html|author=Kurt Walters|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=December 6, 2011|accessdate=December 14, 2011}}</ref> <br />
<br />
The [[Architectural Review Board]] provided initial feedback at a meeting on May 16, 2011 and stated the corner of U.S. 29 and Hydraulic Road is one of the most important in the county. <ref>{{cite web|title=ARB ACTION MEMO|url=http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/Community_Development/forms/arb_action_memos/FINAL_ARB_5_16_2011_action_memo.pdf|author=|work=|publisher=|location=|publishdate=May 16, 2011|accessdate=May 24, 2011}}</ref> In late June 2011, they indicated they could not support the design of the Trader Joe's and Regal Cinemas because they were not similar to previously approved plans.<ref>{{cite web|title=ARB challenges design for Stonefield’s theater and grocery store|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/06/stonefield.html|author=|work=Tracie Cabler and Brian Wheeler|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=June 26, 2011|accessdate=June 27, 2011}}</ref><br />

===Construction plans===<br />
The project will be constructed in two phases by [[Faulconer Construction]].<ref name="factsheet" /> The first will see the construction of a 270,000 square feet of retail, a central plaza and 245 residential units.<ref name="factsheet"/> The second phase will include a 135-room hotel and more residential units.<ref>{{cite-cville|title=Former Albemarle Place awaits start|url= Former Albemarle Place awaits start|author=Chiara Canzi|pageno=|printno=|printdate=March 15, 2011|publishdate=March 15, 2011|accessdate=March 15, 2011}}</ref> Officials with Edens & Avant confirmed in January 2012 that the hotel will be a Hyatt Place.<ref>{{cite-cville|title=Stonefield still slated for 137-room hotel, says developer|url=http://www.c-ville.com/Stonefield_still_slated_for_137_room_hotel_says_developer/|author=C-Ville Writers|pageno=|printno=|printdate=January 25, 2012|publishdate=January 25, 2012|accessdate=January 25, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Stormwater violation===<br />
On June 1, 2012, the [[Department of Neighborhood Development Services]] served the developers with a violation notice following the developer's decision to open a 72-inch pipe that carries stormwater. The pipe was to remain closed until the developers added erosion control measures to the drainage channel.<ref>{{cite web|title=Stonefield's grading and stormwater reviewed by Albemarle|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2012/07/stonefield-vegetation.html|author=Sean Tubbs|work=article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=July 11, 2012|accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref> The violation was appealed to City Council on July 16, 2012, but council upheld the decision unanimously.<ref>{{cite web|title=Council upholds Stonefield stormwater violation; Edens uncertain of next steps|url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2012/07/stonefield_stormwater.html|author=Sean Tubbs|work=article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=July 18, 2012|accessdate=July 18, 2012}}</ref> In August 2012, Edens appealed the Council's decision in Charlottesville Circuit Court, arguing that they fulfilled their duties toward erosion control. The brief also claims that Great Eastern Management Co., one of the companies who owns the land through which the water drains, is using City Council's decision to try to force Edens to bear the cost of improvements on the land to benefit future development of [[Seminole Square Shopping Center]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Stonefield developer files appeal in circuit court|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/12741-stonefield-developer-files-appeal-against-city-/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=August 26, 2012|accessdate=August 27, 2012}}</ref><br />

<br />
==Sewer capacity==<br />
At their meeting on September 10, 2008, [[Albemarle County Service Authority]] Executive Director [[Gary Fern]] told the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors that it was his understanding that the Albemarle Place developers would be paying the costs for the sewer connection to the RWSA's [[Meadowcreek Interceptor]]. The Supervisors were told that the sewer capacity would be in place and available when Edens is ready to move forward with the development.<ref>[http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2008/10/acsa-update.html 'Supervisors updated on sewer capacity for Albemarle Place and North Pointe']. Charlottesville Tomorrow. 7 Oct. 2008. Charlottesville Tomorrow. 2 Mar. 2009</ref> A separate upgrade of the capacity of the [[Meadowcreek Interceptor]], necessary to support Albemarle Place, is under construction.<br />
<br />
==Traffic concerns==<br />
[[Meadows neighborhood]] residents voiced concern over raised traffic in their neighborhood from Stonefield shoppers trying to avoid traffic on [[Route 29]]. The neighborhood's Cedar Hill Road is immediately across from an entrance to Stonefield, but city staff said it has been made inaccessible from Stonefield.<ref>{{cite web|title=Meadows residents seek protection from Stonefield traffic |url=http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2011/12/meadows-traffic.html|author=Sean Tubbs|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=December 11, 2011|accessdate=December 14, 2011}}</ref><br />

===Early History===<br />
The original developer of the project was the [[Landonomics Group]] with the [[Cox Company]] serving as project engineer. The original land use request was an application to rezone 63.7 acres from C-1 (Commercial) and LI (Light Industry) to NMD ([[Neighborhood Model District]]) to allow a 1.8 million square feet mixed-use development running from [[Hydraulic Road]] up US 29. The rezoning of Albemarle Place to Neighborhood Model was approved on October 23, 2003.<ref>Cilimberg, V. Wayne. "RE: ZMA-2001-007-Albemarle Place." Letter to Frank D. Cox, Jr. 13 Nov. 2003.

At their meeting on September 10, 2008, [[Albemarle County Service Authority]] Executive Director [[Gary Fern]] told the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors that it was his understanding that the Albemarle Place developers would be paying the costs for the sewer connection to the RWSA's [[Meadowcreek Interceptor]]. The Supervisors were told that the sewer capacity would be in place and available when Edens is ready to move forward with the development.<ref>[http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2008/10/acsa-update.html 'Supervisors updated on sewer capacity for Albemarle Place and North Pointe'].

==Traffic concerns==<br />
[[Meadows neighborhood]] residents voiced concern over raised traffic in their neighborhood from Stonefield shoppers trying to avoid traffic on [[Route 29]].

The Supervisors were told that the sewer capacity would be in place and available when Edens is ready to move forward with the development.<ref>[http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2008/10/acsa-update.html 'Supervisors updated on sewer capacity for Albemarle Place and North Pointe']. Charlottesville Tomorrow. 7 Oct. 2008.

==Traffic concerns==<br />
[[Meadows neighborhood]] residents voiced concern over raised traffic in their neighborhood from Stonefield shoppers trying to avoid traffic on [[Route 29]].

==Involvement in Charlottesville==<br />
Trump's involvement in the Charlottesville area involves his 2011 purchase of Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyards, now known as [[Trump Winery]]. He bought the property after [[Patricia Kluge|Patricia Kluge's]] estate fell on hard times.<ref name=WP>{{cite web|title=Trump in talks to buy socialite Kluge's Charlottesville vineyard and estate|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/16/AR2011021606988.html|author=Annie Gowen and Steve Yanda|work=|publisher=The Washington Post|location=|publishdate=17 Feb 2011|accessdate=25 June 2012}}</ref> In addition to the winery, Trump has also laid claim to Kluge's onetime mansion, [[Albemarle House]], based on the right of first refusal clause placed in the deed to the house when Patricia Kluge won the house in her divorce from John Kluge. The clause stipulated that whoever owned the property surrounding the house at the time of the house's sale could purchase the house by matching the highest bid. In August 2012, Judge [[Norman K. Moon]] rejected Trump Virginia Acquisition's claim to the house, saying that Trump and Bank of America's dual ownership of the property nullified the clause. Trump has filed an appeal of the decision.<ref>{{cite-progress|title=Judge strikes Trump claim|url=http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2012/aug/17/judge-tosses-trumps-claim-right-first-refusal-albe-ar-2138923/|author=Samantha Koon|pageno=A1|printdate=August 18, 2012|publishdate=August 17, 2012|accessdate=August 20, 2012|cturl=}}</ref><br />
