Here are the tweets from last night. It was a good discussion; I encourage you to dig in and read them all.

 

Still thinking about this. Basing any development plan on a pie in the sky “plan“ that might happen one day, is absurd. https://t.co/UHzdyGTjAq

A couple of the tweets, though

CCAC meeting begins. Lots of new faces. Betting it has to do with Chesterfield. I could be wrong. #CCAC1218

Chesterfield Landing is calling it as ideal for walking to Brownsville. That in 2010, the approved transit plan (hope) was to have trails in place to schools

Some of the tweets

• Currently, they could do about 12 units. Want to rezone to get about 23
• Lots of questions about what the homeowners’ expectations were about the future growth of the neighborhood
• Schools are overcapacity, “Audience – currently Brownsville site says capacity is 715 and they are at 830. (I think I heard that right) “
• Me: trying to figure out if they are upset about not knowing more houses are coming to the growth area, or that the rezoning is for ~2X as many homes as allowed by right?
• If You Don’t Own It, It’s Going to Change
• Me: As a Realtor, it’s hard hearing these kinds of conversations. People buy with certain expectations; it’s tough when those aren’t met.
• Neighbor – you say you’ll preserve trees and such. Where?

  A: shows the picture that they’ve already said is a very preliminary representation.

• CCAC member to buyers – did you all look at the master plan before you bought?

  one neighbor – I talked to the builder & they said probably not.

  another – we thought there’d be more houses, but absolutely not 23 houses

• Neighbor – now, our neighborhood blends right now, but the new phase won’t look anything like what’s there now. The new houses will be so much smaller & won’t fit in. How will you integrate it so it *looks* like part of our neighborhood ?
• Talking about lot sizes, houses sizes, house values. CCAC member saying smaller houses = lower value.

  Me: so what?

Last one of the year.

CROZET COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Crozet Library
Wednesday, December 19, 2018 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.

Agenda

1. Introductions and Agenda Review (Allie Pesch – CCAC chair)

2. Approval of Minutes

3. Proposed Phase III Chesterfield Landing Rezoning Request Presentation and Discussion (Kelsey Schlein, Shimp Engineering – 45 minutes)

4. CAC Chair Meeting Report (Allie Pesch — 5 minutes)

5. Items Not Listed on the Agenda

Well, that was fun. Read the tweets. Watch the video.

Video of the meeting, thanks to Crozet Gazette, is below.

Highlights

• Baseball lights
  • Good presentation. Would have been neighborly if they’d done any neighborhood outreach rather than assuming they’ll get approval (they will). (here’s the presentation)
  • They’ll probably be fine.
• Downtown Crozet Initiative is getting closer to pushing dirt.
  • Going to be extending road through Hilltop soon.
  • Parking downtown is going to suck.
    • “Hoping” the County does anything about parking is foolish.
  • The Plaza will be cool
  • Ann Mallek said that Dominion Power had admitted they were the cause of the hum. (I was right) Humming update. Maybe it’s Yancey Mill.
  • Eastern Avenue was mentioned

Should be an interesting meeting. I suspect the presenters will be talking about the lights, all the neighborhood outreach they’ve done, and penalties when the lights are on beyond their allowed times.
