Patterson Zoning Administrator County of Albemarle Department of Zoning 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22901-4596 RE: Application VA-89-66 Dear Ms. Patterson, I am writing in regards to a request from Whiting Oil Company, Inc. owners of property described as tax map 60, parcel 40D. We are the lessee of the adjoining parcel that is owned by the H & H Partnership thus we feel we have an interest in the matter. We opened a branch bank on our site in November of 1987. The visibility that our site has is already adversely affected by the two( 2) adjoining owners which, we understand, made improvements to their property before the advent of the current zoning restrictions that apply. It is our understanding that Whiting Oil is requesting a variance to permit the construction of a canopy over their tanks. It is our opinion that these improvements would further detract from the poor visibility we presently must contend with and further would detract from the appearance that the county is attempting to create with their existing ordinances. Thus we respectfully object to the application of Whiting Oil Company, Inc. Sincerely, Ti)ii'lliT T1' I .,. 11 t (-1-1(--"KAAt..- �;�i • .; Wayne L.

Colonnade Associates Limited Partnership City of Charlottesville Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is to notify you, as adjoining property owners, that Whiting Oil Company, Inc. (owner) , property described as tax map 60, parcel 40D, zoned HC, has made application for VA-89-66, requesting relief from 30. 5. 6. 2 . 1•of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The applicant requests relief from Section 30.5. 6. 2 . 1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to reduce the required front yard setback in the SA Overlay District from 150 feet to 10 feet to allow construction of a canopy, a variance request of one hundred forty (140) feet. A public hearing will be held by the Board of Zoning Appeals on August 15, 1989 , at 3 : 15 p.m. , in Meeting Room #7 , Second Floor, County Office Building, 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, VA. This application is made available for your review in the Albemarle County Zoning Office, 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, VA. Sincerely, CON\j) 14 (-14-a >-' Amelia M. Patterson Zoning Administrator AMP/mlm W Heischman Construction Co. S . . Heischman Investors Management Inc. August 15, 1989 Ms . Amelia M. Patterson Zoning Administration County of Albemarle Department of Zoning 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22901-4596 Re: Application VA-89-66 Dear Ms. Patterson: I am writing in regard to the application of Whiting Oil Company, Inc. , (owner of the property described as Tax Map 60, Parcel 40D) , for relief from 30.5 .6.2.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The applicant justifies his request h; asserting that gasoline marketing standards have changed so as to virtually doom his business to failure unless relief from the ordinance is granted. His argument is appealing, but unpersuasive. The law is absolutely clear that mere loss of profit opportunities is not cause for relief, and the Board of Zoning Appeals has consistently so held. Accordingly , T urge denial of the application. Moreover, I am a general partner of H & H Partnership, owner of adjacent property on which the F &. M Bank-Ivy Road Branch, is located. You may recall that we went to some considerable expense to design a structure and site plan that would conform to the character of the district. I might add that uur resulting facility is less than optimal by branch banking facility marketing standards . It is my opinion that the applicant 's construction of his proposed improvements would further impair the visibility and value of our property. Consequently, r respectfully urge denial of the application for relief. Yours very truly, IT _. S. 'vi. Heischman 1�:t<$.1 - s 'g" r General Partner, H & H Partnership fWH,!ddm AUG 15 1989 , P.O.

I am a general partner of Colonnade Associates Limited Partnership, owner of adjacent property on which we are currently developing a retail shopping facility. We have gone to great expense to develop our property with a structure, land contours and landscaping that conform to the character of the district.. It is my opinion that the applicant's construction of his proposed canopy impairs the visibility, appeal and value of our property, and makes a mockery of our attempts to conform our development to the character of the district. Accordingly, I respectfully urge the Board to deny the applicant's request for a setback variance. Yours very truly, S. W.
