Minutes approved. My zoom is odd … not seeing a gallery view option, just the person in focus talking. I like gallery better. #CCAC1021

Allie - Comments from the CCAC on upcoming agendas?

#CCAC1021

They are referencing Matthews’s email (haven’t seen it)… Michael Monaco echoing(?) racial equity and community engagement and being ambassadors as members of the CCAC

#CCAC1021

Joe talking about debriefing after the master plan.

Specifically - Acme property?

Master plan - what could the CCAC role be re: specific parts of the plan. Could the CAC be a forum for people to learn about/get involved?

(Me: be a community conduit of info?)

#CCAC1021

Joe - take a more active role, knowing that staff are overworked, do more active work for staff, and provide manpower for things (surveys, outreach, etc)

#CCAC1021

Mark asking about capital improvement projects, VDOT … what are the capital improvements, timeline, etc?

Me: start here.

#CCAC1021

Here are the members of the CCAC

#CCAC1021

Marc talking about how everything since he’s been on (~6 months) has been master plan.

#CCAC1021

Brian Day - yes, the county is lambasted sometimes, but ultimately, we need to talk to legislators about getting proffers back.

(Me: we don’t have proffers anymore - cvilletomorrow.org/articles/virgi… )

#CCAC1021

Sandy Hausman - dealing with legislators is more Ann’s wheelhouse.

Ann - the past several years have been about impact fees … (watch the video later; nuanced history and detail not well captured here)

#CCAC1021

Sandy Hausman talking about middle density and her opposition to density. Those who moved to Charlottesville wanted urban living. Those who moved to Crozet wanted suburban lifestyle.

Wants more public discussion before board votes on Crozet Master Plan.

#CCAC1021

Sandy Hausman noting that meeting minutes are not very detailed.

Is there some way that more detailed minutes could go to the Board? I’d like to think the Board cares what we think, but I don’t know that they know what we think.

#CCAC1021

More on Crozet transportation projects update.

#ccac1021

Allie pushing back (justifiably, IMHO) about not creating more work for CCAC members.

Sandy asking if the CAC had taken a vote re: middle density. (She really doesn’t want density)

#ccac1021

Me: reminder that Community Advisory Committee votes are *advisory* and that the votes that legislatively matter are the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.

#ccac1021

More on middle density, from @craftypanda

dailyprogress.com/news/local/gov…

#ccac1021

Curious … what topics would Crozetians want to see on CCAC agendas?

#ccac1021

Jenie More (speaking re: minutes) from the Planning Commission says that emails from citizens are informative, and the planning commission reads them

Email them - [e-mail]

#ccac1021

Sandy - what recourse does the community have after master plan passed, if they don’t want density?

Ann - there will be a community discussion re: rezoning for individual properties.

Allie - nothing is being rezoned; this is a land use designation

#ccac1021

Where’s a good Master Plan vs zoning vs land use 101?

#ccac1021

Allie - we’re a bit late to be challenging this.

#ccac1021

Joe - is there a way to look at previous master plans and see what worked, what went well, what veered off …

Most of us moved in after 2010, based on stats.

Crozet was designated a growth area 50 yrs ago … where has the County money gone?

#ccac1021

Me: I know “how much money has Crozet gotten” is out there somewhere … I’ve read it in the past couple years.

#CCAC1021

At 19:42 (for referencing the video) Ann is talking about the history of the master plans. We now have 7 master plan areas. Crozet is the only one remote from the urban area.

(Me: 7 master plans fighting for $; we aren’t an island)

#CCAC1021

Shortened Ann - this is a marathon with respect to infrastructure.

Allie - we do tend to do an update every year on project statuses.

#CCAC1021

Doug -

Talking about tax service districts.

Mentioned in 2019

https://twitter.com/realcrozetva/status/1105988014134738944

Wanted to focus on historic districts on agendas.

#CCAC1021

Joe - talking about visiting Arlington and going to parks, and reveling in the amenities and infrastructure …

If we want a lot, we’ll need to pay.

#CCAC1021

Joe -

Is there a role for us to look longer term?

Climate change, migration patterns, the County’s climate plan…

#CCAC1021

Gotta run for a bit, folks. #CCAC1021
