VA-78-82. Mimosa Motel, Inc.
Tax Map: 61
Parcel: 120J
Zoned: B-1
Existing Activity
Storage for Mimosa Motel.
Proposed Variance
Applicant seeks relief from section 7-3 to allow Wendy's Restaurant's
"in" and "out" signs to be located 10 feet from the right-of-way; a
variance of 20 feet.
Zoning Ordinance Requirements
All structures, except signs advertising sale or rent of the property shall
be located thirty (30) feet or more from any street right-of-way.
Staff Recommendation
The Board has granted this sort of setback variance before in the interest
of highway safety. The signs being less than 5 square feet in area tech-
nically do not require a sign permit.
If the Board chooses to approve the setback variance staff recommends the
following conditions:
1) In the event of Highway improvements, Wendy waives any claim to damages
for having to move the signs and the signs shall, at that time, be set
back the allowed variance. 11441
Sit , riv
2) The signs may be no taller than Z feet from the ground. j
3) No advertising loco may appear on the signs.
4) Highway Department approval for site distance. '�(

RE: February 13 Zoning Variance
Dear Joe. Meeting
I talked to Benjamin Dick , County Zoning Administrator, as per
your request in reference to you being here for the final
approval .
Fe said there was no reason why Ed Bain or myself could not
take care of everything so you would not have to make the trip.
Powever, Mr. Dick did say that we should have a letter from you
authorizing either or both of us to act as Western Restaurants '
representative. Therefore, please drop a letter to me in the
mail so that 1 can have it in the file for Fd or myself .
Sincerely,
Landon D. Birckhead

Dear Joe:
Just a note to confirm the conversations that you and I have had
by telephone and in person with Mr. Benjamin Dick of the Albemarle
County Planning Department.
(1) Your 'enter" and "exit'' signs will be less than five
square feet, thereby not falling under the sign ordi-
nance as far as getting a permit.
(2) We are applying for a variance to place these signs
approximately ten feet outside the right-away so they
will be visible to oncoming traffic, thereby being a
safety factor and guiding people in and out of the
restaurant lot. Also, since these signs will each be
less than five square feet they do not count as a sign
as far as having only two freestanding signs per parcel .
(3) We are also applying for a variance to exceed the 100
square feet because of the following reasons:
(A) Air space in the front sign has to be there
due to the fact that a one foot space is
needed for tools to work, if the sign has to
be repaired, both in the bottom of the big
sign and the top of the small sign.
(B) Our menu sign is in the back of the building
and does not show from the highway, and is not
obnoxious as far as U.S. 29 traffic is concerned.
(4) We did not discuss this over the telephone this morning
but both Mr. Dick and I saw in the brochure that you sent
us that your single face front sign in Charlottesville is
only to he 5 x 30 . Please make a notation, of this when
you are ordering your signs . Otherwise, if it is larger
than 5 x 30 you will be in violation of the code again.

Joe, Mr. Dick suggested that you personally he here to make the
appeal for the signs if at all possible. The meeting will he
on Tuesday, February 13, at 10 :00 a.m. Also, Mr. Dick suggested
that you might bring proof of vested interest in these signs such
as copies of orders already gone out to the factory for production
to start on the signs , etc. as a vested interest sometimes adds a
little weight when you are asking for a variance.
I hope your jaw will be getting better and that the infection is
down. I hope your New Year will be happier than your Christmas .
Please give me a call if you have any questions regarding this
letter.
Sincerely,
Landon D. Birckhead

Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control Report
for Wendy' s Old ras'iioned Hamburgers
Dec. 5, 1978
This plan proposes to grade for commercial development
approximateiy 1.32 acres of property on U.S. Rt. 29. The
major part of this work will involve cut operations, the
waste area for the extra material (as yet unselected) will
need a further soil erosion permit.
Before any major grading is begun, the sediment barriers
will be installed as shown on the accompanying drawing. These ,
barriers will be built out of hay bales, rock piles, or any
other method agreed upon between the Albemarle County Engineer
and the project engineer. Once the temporary measures are
installed and operable, the clearing and ear th'hovin g work may
begin. These measures will be checked periodically and cleaned
.as necessary to insure their continuous and efficient icient opera-
tion. Material removed from in front of these i teens -will be
andcovered over. ,e will be
placed in fill areas COVe_er.,_ Cal �v.�ll taken to
keep the U.S. Rt. 29 pavement as free from dirt and debris as
possible. As soon as the subgrade elevations allow, the new
drainage structures will be built and the surface inlets sur-
rounded with temporary sediment control barri.ars. During t'-le
remainder of the construction period, surface storm water will
be directed toward these inlets.
Once final grades are achieved, the disturbed areas will
be stabilized as=shown on the plan. The temporary measures
will be removed as soon as they are no longer needed and the , I
areas of their former existance cleaned up in a workmanlike
manner.
During the period of construction, a 30 ft. x 50 ft.
gravel pad will be maintained at the entrance to the site to
clean mud off of the tires of cars and trucks leaving the site.
