PROPOSED ALBEMARLE CARRIAGE MUSEUM HEIGHT VARIANCE APPLICATION
THE HEIGHT VARIANCE WHICH IS BEING REQUESTED BY THIS APPLICATION IS
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN
GRANTED THE ALBEMARLE DRIVING CENTRE PROJECT. THE CODE PRESCRIBED
HEIGHT LIMIT RELATES TO THE AS-OF-RIGHT USES IN THIS ZONE. THE HEIGHT
OF THE BUILDING PROPOSED IS COMMESURATE WITH THE NEW USE (A MUSEUM
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) APPROVED BY THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE MAJOR PORTION OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING
IS WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE EXISTING ZONING REGULATIONS.
THE CUPPOLA AND WEATHERVANE, WHICH ARE ABOVE THE EXISTING HEIGHT
RESTRICTIONS, ARE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE TO THE BUILDINGS OF THIS
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE AND CHARACTER. THE DESIGN OF THE MUSEUM HAS
RELIED ON PRECEDENT WITHIN THE PIEDMONT INCLUDING THE CUPPOLAED
PALLADIAN BARN AT BREMO IN FLUVANNA COUNTY.
IN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE BUILDING COMPATIBLE WITH ITS RURAL SETTING,
WE HAVE ALSO USED THE PRECEDENT OF HISTORICAL CARRIAGE BARNS. THE
CUPPOLA/CLOCK TOWER WAS A COMMON ELEMENT IN THESE BARNS. OUR CUPPOLA,
AS IN THE HISTORICAL PROTOTYPE, IS USED FOR VENTILATION.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE TOP OF A 35' HIGH BUILDING SET AT
THE CENTER OF A TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL 5 ACRE LOT WOULD APPEAR AT 7.3°
OFF THE HORIZON AT THE PROPERTY LINE. DUE TO THE SIZE OF OUR PROPERTY,
THE RIDGE OF THE FRONT ROOF APPEARS AT 1.4° OFF THE HORIZON AT
THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE CUPPOLA IS AT APPROXIMATELY 2.5° OFF THE HORIZON.
