On Wednesday, April 4, 2007, the
Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
unanimously referred the Biscuit Run project back to the
Planning Commission
, the body which had
unanimously rejected it the week before
. They did so at the request of the developer who had expressed a preference for responding to the outstanding questions identified by staff and the Planning Commission before the project is considered by the Board.
The Daily Progress reported on the situation last week
and noted, “Board Chairman Kenneth C. Boyd said the property’s developers had told
supervisors they made a mistake by not asking for more time to work
with the commission.”
Before the Planning Commission
, attorney Steve Blaine had said his client could only spare a couple of weeks if the decision was deferred. While the exact schedule the project will take in its further review by the Commission remains to be determined, the major issues to be resolved include proffers, transportation infrastructure, and sewer capacity.
The Planning Commission is expecting a complete revised application and a tentative work session date has been set for May 22nd
.
