To The Albemarle County Board of Zoning Appeals 1,104 /11•
Date- July 20, 1971 • 1
Gentlemen:
I strongly support the setback requirement of 60 ft. which
was imposed on the site plan of Greenbrier Limited Partnership on
June 21 , 1971 . In my view, the Albilemarle County Planning Commission
had the authority to require additinni set back due to 3 factors:
1 ) Section 11-6 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance states that
the Planning Commission"may recommend additional front yard set-
backs. .. . to preserve and protect the right of way. . ."
2) Section 11 -6 states " Whenever there shall be plans in existence,
approved by the governing body for the widening of any
street or highway, the Commission nay recommend additional front
yard setbacks...." Plan, defined in Webster's New Internatinnal
Dictionary- Second Edition, 1959, is a " Method or scheme of action;
a way proposed to carry out a design; Plan iS the general word
for a proposed method of action or procedure."
3) On May 20, 1971 , the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors "asked
the highway department to prepare preliminary and final profile
plans for improtlement of the road (Hydraulic Rd. ) , specifically
the segment from U.S. 29 North to Georgetown Road. The Board noted
that the segment, ...was omitted from the 1967 thoroughfare plan. . ..
The omission should be corrected now, . ... The resident highway ea
ingineer, Robert G. WARner siad Hydraulic should be a four lane
highway with a median strip." On June 17, 1971 , the request of
the Board of Supervisors was carried to the Virginia dighway
Commission " to consider the need for final plans and specifiaa-
tionson the relocation and improvement on Hydraulic. . ." (Qudtes
from Daily Progress- May 20, 1971 and June 18, 1971 .
Thus, a proposed method of action has been approved by the Albemarle
County Board of Supervisors for the widening of Hydaulic Road, St.Route
743, and it is the duty of the Planning Commission to recommend additional
front yard set back on the Greenerie Limited Partnership site plan.
