Crozet Master Plan is Approved – Three “Centers” of Crozet

Charlottesville Tomorrow has the story. Please take the time to read this; it is one of the most important aspects of how Crozet is going to grow.

The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors has unanimously approved an update of the Crozet Master Plan. The amendments to the twenty-year plan lower the ultimate population potential and seek to focus the community’s growth into three distinct areas.
“The master plan continues to emphasize redevelopment of downtown,” said David Benish, Albemarle’s chief of planning at a public hearing last Wednesday. “Changes to the plan put greater emphasis on the three centers that have emerged, which is the Clover Lawn area, the Old Trail area and downtown.”

Coming Thursday – Does the CCAC wield too much influence?

Anyone in Crozet Missing a Pigeon?

I think this email is cool for two reasons:

1 – Someone has a pigeon.

2 – Crozet’s small enough to ask “anyone.”

Is anyone missing a pigeon?  We have a banded pigeon living in our garage, who’s been at our house since Tuesday.  We don’t mind caring for him, but he appears to be well cared for, so we’d like to find it’s owner, and return it.  Please give me a call at 434-409-2041 if this looks like yours

Restore N Station Will Be Smaller

Read about it at NBC29.

More + comments at WCAV. Update 2018: now bad link.

Finally a compromise was reached:

The Re-Store N’ Station will move forward as a 3,000 square foot facility instead of 6,000 square feet.

-It will house five pumps with ten nozzles, instead of eight pumps with 16 nozzles.
-The gas station will operate for 16 hours/day instead of 24.

-No overnight parking will be allowed.

-A flow valve condition must be in place to avoid water run off.

-Rainwater will be collected to water the landscaping around the station, via a lined underground tank.

Thanks to the paid journalists for staying up so late to report on this. Wouldn’t it be cool if the Board of Supervisors streamed their meetings?

I neglected to post this conversation from Tuesday’s Coy Barefoot show – Charlottesville Right Now– Is a Sheetz coming to Crozet?
