In section 14 of the Albemarle County Subdivision Ordinance relating to Townhouse clusters the following items are noted. 1. 10 Townhouses may be attached. 2. End lots shall be minimum 40' wide. 3. Side yard - 10'. 4. 10' Front yards. 5. 30' Min. between main buildings. The problem presented is this: If a designer has two 5 unit buildings to place on a site he has two options: 1. Keep them 30' apart. 2. Attach them (making one 10 unit building.) These alternatives pose an interesting problem when considered from the position of the residents: I. The two families without any problem with the zoning ordinance or codes may share a 3/4 FIR fire rated wall - the distance between families perhaps 6" . ' 4 2. They may not however (without a variance or interpretation of "Attached") be separated 20 feet and have two 3/4 HR walls between them. (As would be required by the Boca Code.) Distance between families is 20'. The code is written in such a manner as to encourage 10 unit buildings. We do not wish to do this, but instead, maintain 15-20' minimum dimensions between buildings in order to create a visual containment in our Townhouse cluster. We request that a variance be granted effectively doing away with the minimum required distance between 2 or more buildings whose combined number of units is 10 or less. The required side, front & rear yards would remain and provide the minimum dimensions between these buildings. We further request that the term "Attached" as used in the Town House definition be clarified with respect as to what actually constitutes attachment of dwellings. Thank you for the time you have spent on this matter already and we hope that ' the apparent conflicts between what is acceptable under the Boca Code, the Albemarle Counting Zoning Ordinance and the best interests of the future residents vvlc,L be resolved.
