Crozet's community blog
Last night was a super-long meeting. I’m sorry for the non-linear way the tweets are put together; storify wasn’t pulling them in by the #CCAC0614 hashtag, so I just added all of the ones by or to @realcrozetva and @tfjtolson. I’ll try again later today to make this right when I have time.
Update: another good way to read all the tweets is to search for the #CCAC0614 hashtag. Continue reading “CCAC Meeting 26 June 2014 Recap”
It feels like we’re getting to the point where if you want to voice your opinion – pro or con – regarding the Barnes Lumberyard project, you’d better do so nowish. Better to be educated and complain than the alternative .. Who’s coming to tweet the meeting?

– The Applicant (Milestone Partners) requested and was granted an 8 week deferral.
– The Planning Commission seemingly relied heavily on the CCAC’s opinion and resolution concerning the proposal (I assume this is the one).
– The Barnes Lumber property is currently zoned for heavy industrial.
– Apparently the CCAC voted 10-3 in support of this resolution, but you wouldn’t know that if you didn’t follow the CCAC meeting on Twitter or read the Storify of the tweets as the CCAC have no minutes online for the entirety of 2014 and most of 2013 (and the roster is out of date).
– I’m grateful for those who give their time to tweet these meetings; without them the community would be less informed. Thank you!
– When is the next CCAC meeting? If you support or oppose this proposal, now’s (really, 6 months ago) the time to get informed and involved. These decisions affect all of us.
– Update: the Sec. of the CCAC just called and said that he had just sent all of the missing minutes to the County. We can expect them to be online in the next 48 hours. Thank you to those who alerted the CCAC about this. Transparency is good for all.

Last night’s CCAC meeting was extremely well attended , and big thanks to Tim Dodson and Tim Tolson for the live tweets.
Parking, residential vs commercial, phasing, traffic, impact on schools, walk and bike ability – lots was discussed last night that will (may) have an impact on the future of downtown Crozet.
– CCAC passed a resolution – Page 1 and Page 2 of the draft resolution (would be nice to have that distributed publicly prior to the meeting)
Charlottesville Tomorrow provides a great summary as well.
As with all of these CCAC recaps, click through, scroll to the bottom and work your way up. Grab a cup of coffee and get informed … and then consider going to tonight’s Planning Commission meeting.
