From the Newsplex :
Following a compromise between the Board of Supervisors and project developer, Jo Higgins, the 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 and will operate for 16 hours a day instead of 24.
Yummy.

As I was reviewing the information, I wanted to share the following that may be useful in your review: • The Brownsville set was priced in 2008 and ordered in 2009 while the Crozet set was priced and installed this year. There has been a significant increase (17% according to the vendor) in the cost of play ground equipment since that time due to the increased prices of plastic and metal. • We did obtain very favorable pricing for the Crozet play set by partnering with Fairfax County Public Schools (noted as FCPS on the attachment), the largest school division in the Commonwealth. The Crozet set was installed using FCPS pricing, and the vendor used was the lowest bidder. • The Brownsville site did not require the demolition and removal of an existing set, which accounted for $8,000 of the cost of the Crozet set. … Since there is room to expand the current Crozet Elementary play set, we would welcome an opportunity to work with a Committee, if external funding sources can be obtained, to add additional components to the play area. After you have had an opportunity to review the attached information, please let me know if you have additional questions, or if you would like to begin the process of forming a Committee to explore options for adding other play components to the existing play set at Crozet Elementary School.

And the Crozet Gazette has the story .
One would think that a quasi-governmental council would at the very least provide minutes or be reported on by local media … The Crozet Community Advisory Council (CCAC) is an advisory committee that provides assistance to County staff and the Board of Supervisors on civic/community issues related to implementation of the Crozet Master Plan in accordance with established county procedures. … The membership is broad-based to incorporate a variety of perspectives and ideas and to provide citizens, businesspersons and representatives of active community groups a chance to be engaged and be heard in a constructive and meaningful way. … And yes, I’m frustrated that I have not been able to attend these meetings and I depend on others for their recounting of the meeting.
CPA200900002 Crozet Master Plan 5 Year Update Amend the Land Use Plan section of the Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan by replacing the existing profile for the Community of Crozet and the Crozet Master Plan with a revised Crozet Master Plan, which establishes new land use policies, guidelines, recommendations, goals and strategies for future development within the master plan area, which may include or exclude lands beyond those described in the existing neighborhood and community profile and the removal of an approximately 29-acre portion of TMP 56-66 (NE of Firehouse Lane) from the Community of Crozet boundaries.
The master plan would establish the following for the master plan area: a vision for the area and guiding principles; land use designations and centers, mixed use areas, employment areas, residential areas, preservation areas; a plan for the transportation network, and its integration with the land uses; a plan for providing and supporting community facilities and services; a plan for parks and green systems; and a plan for implementing the master plan. In conjunction with the Crozet Master Plan, the following will also be considered: (1) CPA 2006-02, to remove the proposed road shown in the Crozet Master Plan across TMP 56- 14D; (2) CPA 2007-002, US Route 250/Crozet Avenue (NW Corner)-Ploumis property (TMP 56-16), a proposal to amend the Crozet Master Plan from Development Area Preserve and Development Area Reserve (CT 1& CT2) to Urban Center/Mixed use (CT5); and (3) CPA 2008-002, Yancey Mills Business Park, located near 6317 Rockfish Gap Tpke and I-64, to amend the Land Use Plan from Rural Areas to Industrial Service, a proposal not within the Crozet Master Plan boundaries but considered with the Crozet Master Plan studyprocess.
