1/18

Albemarle County Resident Petition:

I, the undersigned, am an Albemarle County resident. I enjoy the open space protection and amenitiesprovided by our farm wineries. I also appreciate the benefit of substantial tax revenues derived from theselocal agricultural businesses.

It is my desire to see more farm wineries thriving in Albemarle County. These farms are dedicatedstewards of our agricultural lands, and promote the unique character of our County, support local values,and commit to the best interests of our community. Farm wineries pay wholesale, property, and salestaxes, and create a magnet for destination tourism that supports a diverse range of local familybusinesses. The benefits extend to restaurants, hotels, B&Bs, gas stations, caterers, antique, and otherretail outlets, as well as farmer's markets, local growers of apples, pumpkins, and peaches, and roadsideand pick-your-own produce farmers located throughout Albemarle County.

I believe that the ability of farm wineries to generate revenue through events, such as weddings, isimportant to the success and economic vitality of our farm wineries. I also believe that a substantialbenefit of such events is an increase in customers and visibility for other Albemarle County businesses,benefiting the County as a whole. As part of those events, I consider it reasonable for farm wineries tohave the ability to use outdoor amplified music that is subject to the same decibel standardapplicable to all other uses in the rural areas of Albemarle County.

Therefore, I request that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County follow the County staffrecommendation by amending the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance with regard to outdoor amplifiedmusic at local farm wineries, so that the same 55/60 decibel standard applicable to other rural land uses,and enforced by County zoning staff, is applied equitably to local farm wineries.

we signed "Albemarle Farm Wineries Sound Ordinance"

I believe that Albemarle County needs to support the wineries. This is a good tax base for the county anda large tourist attraction. A large number of local voters also enjoy visiting these sites and attending thevarious functions that involve music. I worked for the county for a number of years in the past and knowfor a fact that most complaints filed by neighbors are not justified and are generally filed out of vengeancefor one reason or another. Please allow the wineries to do business in a proffitable manner.

# 30918:24, Mar 08, Andrea Heapes, VAWineries are an important part of our local economy and help to increase tourism and revenue inAlbemarle County. Measures should be in place that support their economic health. Using an objectivedecibel standard for outdoor music ensures all parties rights are protected.

Thesevineyards maintain the environmental beauty of our county, and increase tourism in our area to fuel ourlocal economy. A winery visit is more than just that - it usually means an overnight or weekend stay at alocal inn or hotel, it means dining at a local restaurant, visiting and shopping at our county's many uniqueshops, and that entire enjoyable experience means positive word-of-mouth about all Albemarle Countyhas to offer, which invites further visits. That beneficial, and financially sustaining, cycle will continue ifyou act to help these wineries to succeed. Thank you.

# 17214:24, Mar 05, Wayne Edwards, VAThe way the law is currently worded is completely unreasonable and subject to misuse by persons who

are unwilling to compromise at all with neighbors and the neighbors' needs. There must be objective, firmaudibility standards that can easily be measured both at the property line and in the complaintan'sresidence to determine if there is a violation. Simply hearing something, regardless of volume, andclaiming it violates the law, criminally at that, is completely unjust and not worthy of this county or state.

# 9108:32, Mar 03, steven zelinski, MIThis is for the health of a growing business, and intern will help the community grow as well. After spentthe last three months in California, in high end olive oil production, I spent a lot of time on manyvineyards. With Vineyards have special events to serve the community, caused a influx of jobs andemployment for the surrounding community. .

# 7106:03, Mar 03, Carolyn Betts, VAThe overall financial impact this will have on the area if you deny wineries the opportunity to allowweddings at their venues will be devastating to many small businesses. There are so few venues in ourarea for these lovely events-especially to be able to promote the beauty here to out of towners inattendance.

At a time when small businesses are hurting in this economy, I cannot believe what the neighbors of thiswonderful establishment are putting Keswick and other vineyards through. There is PLENTY of space todissipate the sound. All we have here is a NIMBY issue. Come on Supervisors... do the right thing!

# 1017:45, Mar 02, Paula Stevenson, VAThomas Jefferson had a vision to produce and enjoy superb vintages here in central Virginia. As of latethe wine makers of Virginia have accomplished that feet. Our hearts are saddened for this discontent. We

should build upon that which our forefathers stood for. Wine is a part of our history. In Virginia there is aprecedence to set forward our ability to succeed in this industry. By taking away reasonable soundordince we are debilitating the revenue necessary for future growth. Cheers, Be Well andProsperStevenson Family

# 317:09, Mar 02, Kat Schornberg, VAAs a scientist, having a measurable decibel limit just makes the most logical sense to me. There needs tobe a standard that is reasonable, objective, and measurable in order for it to be effective and not beabused by neighbors with a personal agenda. Having a set decibel limit allows wineries to be able tomonitor the volume of amplified music and ensure that they are not in violation, therefore allowingwineries to conduct events that are essential for their business while also serving to protect the peaceand tranquility of the area.

Surely the consistency of noise regulation that the petition requests is nothingbut common sense...and fairness. I urge you to support fair across-the-board noise regulation.
