The Glenmore Community Association's Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 25 at 7 PM in the ballroom of the Club at Glenmore. In January, GCA members will receive a meeting packet including information about those volunteers running for election to the GCA Board of Directors.

Rivanna Greenway Stabilization
For those who walk the Rivanna Greenway trail along the 17th fairway ... it appears that the County has made good on their promise. The trail has been completed, the trucks are gone, the walkway is very muddy, but the trail has been fixed.

As you can see in the picture, the trail is about 20 feet wide for easy passage again. The repaired culvert is on the right edge of the picture.

We haven't heard from the County yet, but we expect them to re-open the trail in the near future. With that behind us, we owe a debt of gratitude to Rick Randolph and the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors.

You can see the entire Rivanna Trail system  here.
The Oily Trickles on our Roads
County Waste notified us that they tried an environmentally conscious solution in combination with a power washing truck in an effort to rid our roads of the oily drips we think their trucks left behind. The drips may be lighter, but they surely are not gone. It looks like the marks will have to fade over time.

Breezy Hill Rezoning Application Update
Tim Padalino, the lead Albemarle County reviewer for the Breezy Hill zoning map amendment application (ZMA201900004), notified the community that the application was revised and resubmitted by the developer on November 18, 2019 for staff review and comment. The county staff has conducted an inter-divisional, inter-agency review of the revised application materials and has provided the applicant with an updated review comment letter. This latest comment letter (dated 12/18/2019) and other application materials are available by clicking here .

As yet, a public hearing date has not been requested or scheduled and staff are unaware of what the applicant’s intended next steps are. The GCA Board will continue to keep the community updated as further information becomes available.
Where do I find ... a Glenmore Resident's Directory?
Our GCA Web Page has vast amounts of information. In fact, to find a Glenmore Resident's Directory, go to the web page, then click on "Gatehouse". Then click on "Access Gatehouse Information" (this requires a password). If you're thinking "I don't want my address provided to other residents"; be advised, we are required to provide resident's access to this information per the VA Property Owners' Association Act, § 55.1-1815 . Access to association records; association meetings; notice.
