Updates from the Board

• The next meeting of the Board of Directors will be at 7:00 p.m. on August 16, 2010 in the Fontana clubhouse conference room. The Board welcomes homeowners who have concerns or ideas about the neighborhood to attend the meetings. If you cannot attend the meetings, you can (please use the Board e-mail address rather than sending messages to individual Board members).
• The ad-hoc Finance Committee held its first meeting on June 17, 2010. The committee is charged with reviewing the procedures in place for managing the Association's finances and providing recommendations. For more information, see the meeting minutes.
• The section of the Fontana walking trails located in Fontana Phase 2C (between Lot 33 and Lot 26 behind Olympia Drive) has been completed and approved by the County. Construction of other areas is still in progress, and the developer has remdinded homeowners not to use those pathways until they are completed. The trails are pedestrian pathways, and are not designed for bicycles, skateboards or scooters.
• The Fontana Forum is a bulletin board system for discussion among Fontana residents. While the Fontana E-mail List is still available to get announcements out to members immediately, the forum is a great place to hold discussions without filling up everyone's email inboxes. In addition, postings to the forum will remain on the site and are searchable by new or existing members. Interested in joining? Register for an account today!
• Clubhouse Rentals: If you are a homeowner interested in reserving the clubhouse for a private event, see the Clubhouse Rentals page for the rental calendar and information about how to make a reservation.

Community News

Traffic Calming

Traffic calming is one of the methods used by VDOT to help neighborhoods manage the traffic in their community. Traffic calming measures, such as speed humps or raised crosswalks, are designed to slow speeding traffic on residential streets without restricting access to them. For more information, see VDOT's Frequently Asked Questions about Traffic Calming.

Alliance of Neighborhoods

This organization was founded in 2009 to protect the quality of life in the neighborhoods of Charlottesville and Albemarle by advocating for neighborhoods on issues that affect them. Fontana is a member of the alliance; for more information see the organization website and a message from the Alliance Board President.

Fontana Phase 4C

The developer has received approval from the County Board of Supervisors for Fontana Phase 4C to be rezoned in order to allow a total of 34 home sites, similar in size to existing Fontana lots, in the 17-acre area. The area to be developed includes one new cul-de-sac (Brunello Court) at the end of Fontana Drive, extending eastward parallel to Via Florence. It also includes two short cul-de-sacs (Cortina Way and Belluno Lane) connecting near the end of Via Florence, adjacent to Ashcroft. See the County's Executive Summary for details.

Avemore Commercial

Avemore Commercial consists of two light-commercial, two-story, townhouse-style buildings, 10,000 square feet each, with professional offices on second floor, light commercial/retail on the first floor, and parking in the rear. Entrance to the buildings will be through Avemore. Construction work includes completing a road running from Avemore, to the south of the Merano Way retention pond (which will be filled in and leveled), and connecting to Olympia Drive at the new Pavilions Dam. Plans have been approved by the County Planning Commission.

Cascadia

Cascadia will be located to the north of Fontana. The plans include up to 330 dwelling units (single family homes, townhomes, multi-family and condo dwellings) and 20,000 square feet of non-residential space (mixed residential/commercial buildings, retail and professional space, a community center, and possibly a senior living home). Plans also include entrances onto Route 20 and at the bottom of Fontana Drive (see the preliminary site plan). A stub connector road to Fontana Drive will be accessible for pedestrians only. Rezoning for the project has been approved by the County Board of Supervisors, but no site plan has been submitted for approval yet.

Hyland Ridge

Hyland Ridge, formerly known as Lake Ridge, is located to the north of Fontana, connecting to Fontana Drive extended. The development will include 97 single family lots and 7 larger rural lots, a connector road to Fontana Drive and an open space buffer between Fontana and Hyland Ridge (see the site map). All roads will include curbs and gutters. The plans have been approved by the County Planning Commission and construction has begun.

Pavilions at Pantops

Pavilions at Pantops (previously titled Luxor) is located to the south of Fontana, immediately behind the Rite Aid Pharmacy. The plans include 211 single family townhomes in Phase I and 129 more in Phase II, as well as recreation areas such as playgrounds and playing fields. There will be connections to Fontana at extensions to Olympia Drive and Verona Drive. Construction of Phase I units began in Spring 2008 (see the site map), and Phase II has been approved by the County Planning Commission.

Pantops Master Plan

The Pantops Master Plan was approved by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors on March 17, 2008. The Plan is designed to provide a set of guiding principles for transportation, public infrastructure and land use in the Pantops development area. Plan documents are available on the County website.
