Subdivision Law Backed By Planners The Albemarle CountyJdanning Commission endorsed proposed changes in the county's subdivi sion law yesterday and recom mended the Board of Supervisors make it effective as soon as le gally possible after the public hearing scheduled June 21 The only change from the form the planning commission rec ommended last month is an ex emption from road and right of way width requirements for rural subdividers willing to stipulate in deeds to lots that the roads are substandard and ineligible fori maintenance by state forces Last month's action bv the plan 1 ners and by the Board of Super visors is being repeated this month because of legal questions raised about the procedure used in making the ordinance county wide The county has had an ordi nance regulating subdivisions within three miles of Charlottes ville for some years but the pro posal before the supervisors now is that the ordinance be made countywide This would establish minimum lot sizes drainage and grading regulations and related require ments and would require subdivi sion roads be built to at least the minimum standards required for acceptance as part of the State Highway secondary system There have been no such requirements heretofore for sub divisions more than three miles 1 from Charlottesville Road construction requirements for subdivisions within three miles of Charlottesville are already more strict than the new stand ards for the rest of the county would be The only change the revised sub division law will bring for subdi viders of land within three miles at Charlottesville wjll be largely an administrative one Subdivid ers would have to provide the county financial proof they would build the roads to required stand ards within a reasonable time State and city regulations already require similar performance Airport Shows 38 Passenger Daily Average An average of 3808 passengers a day boarded Piedmont Airlines planes at the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport
