Tompkins, Zoning Administrator DATE: February 21, 1985 RE: Use Determination As Per Section 22.2.1 Yesterday I met with Ted Denby who owns an electrical wholesale business located on Brookway Drive (same area where Taylor Body Shop wants to locate) . Mr. Denby' s business is located on lot 6 and he proposes to expand onto lot 7. This area is zoned C-1. Permitted uses under the C-i district do not specifically mention electrical wholesale businesses. In my opinion, it appears that such a use would be no more inten- sive or dissimilar in character than many of the uses currently identified in the C-i district . Also, Section 21. 1 encourages wholesale type businesses. In accordance with Section 22 .2. 1 , I would like to solicit your comments pertaining to the above. It might be appropriate for us to go take a look at the site before we make a final decision. Please let me know what you would like to do.

Application VA-74-24 Dear Mr. Humphrey: Regarding your notice dated June 20th of the above file, the following comments are made. I requested a plan from Mr. Roudabush which was supplied, and I have reviewed same. There is nothing in the proposed use of this building and its site plan which, in my opinion, would affect adversely the Atwood property plans which have been approved preliminarily by your office with the following exception. If any rooftop mechanical equipment is contemplated for the building, we would request that this be screened through the use of any of a number of commercial products or a screen of custom design to effectively hide any of the rooftop equipment. I am familiar with the nature of Mr. Roudabush's business and see no other adverse aesthetic impact on the project as it is envisioned. As you know, part of the property which I controlled was conveyed to Mr. Cotten with the stipulations that this property not be used for any building purposes but rather would remain in its natural state, being used as a right-of-way for future sewer lines. I see no conflict with this re- quest from Mr. Roudabush for the variances and would support his request.

ROUDABUSH, JR., & ASSOCIATES CERTIFIED LAND SURVEYORS CHARLOTTESVILLE. VIRGINIA 914 MONTICELLO ROAD PHONE 293-4251 June 10, 1974 Mrs. Ruth Miller Zoning Administrator County of Albemarle County Office Building Charlottesville, Virginia Dear Mrs. Miller: This letter is in connection with my request for two variances required to develop the site plan as shown on the attached drawing. This facility is designed to be used exclusively by our own business. Request number one is for a variance of 11 feet from the required 50 foot rear setback specified in article 7-4 of the zoning ordinance. By reference to our site plan you will note that if the building were located 50 feet from the rear line the result would be that our building would project about 35 feet in front of the building on the adjacent lot. Also, a 50 foot rear yard would reduce the parking space in front of the building and require that more parking be placed in the rear of the building resulting in less accessible parking spaces. The property adjacent to the rear has a steep incline, rising above this site, therefore any development on that tract will be located further from our rear line. The adjacent property is screened by an existing barrier of trees and planting. Request number two is for a variance to the parking require- ments of article 11-7-9. Our site plan provides more than adequate parking for the requirements of our business. The zoning ordinance does not break down parking requirements for various types of businesses. Our building will be a professional office building rather than a "commercial" operation. Observation of ordinances in other jurisdictions indicate that one space for each 300 square feet is sufficient for office buildings. Our plan furnishes one space for each 166 square feet. It is noted that our company-owned vehicles spend the day on job sites except for a few minutes in the morning and afternoon. It would be very unusual for us to have more than 3 customers (including sales or service personnel) in our office at a time. No vehicles are housed overnight at our office. Page - 2 - Mrs. Ruth Miller June 10, 1974 We feel that the request for both variances meet the criteria set forth in article 12-2-3 for the following reasons: a) That the strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship in that it would require us to build a two story building which would be unsuitable for our operations and require construction of unnecessary facilities for un-needed parking. b) That such hardship is not generally shared by other properties in this vicinity due to the fact that our business is unique in that most of our employees spend their time out of the office, but large quarters are necessary for the in-office procedures of our business; such as drafting and record storage. c) That the granting of these variances will not be of substantial detriment to the adjacent property and the character of the district will not be changed because this would only affect one adjacent tract which is well screened by trees and topography.
