Statement to the Albemarle County Board of Zoning Appeals
June 11, 1991
Item VA-91-12: William S. Coleman's request for a reduction of
setback from scenic stream (Moormans River) for a
satellite dish, from 65 ft to 58 ft.
My name is Jack Marshall. I'm speaking to you as President of
Citizens for Albemarle, as a landowner along the Moormans River (I
live about a mile down-river from Mr. Coleman) , and as a frequent
canoe paddler past Mr. Coleman's property. I'm also a member of
the state-appointed Moormans Scenic River Advisory Board, though
that Board is currently dormant and I don't presume to speak for
other members.
Citizens for Albemarle has long had an interest in protecting the
natural beauty and purity of the Moormans River corridor. Last
year we collaborated with students from Tandem School in their
assessment, over a six-month period, of the quality of water in the
Moormans. We're now in the second year of a more intensive,
higher-tech effort to monitor water quality in the Moormans and
several other local streams, a study undertaken jointly with the
County Watershed Management Officer.
But most relevant to the issue before you now: Citizens for
Albemarle is preparing a booklet on the Moormans River corridor -
- its geology, social history, plants and animals, and the
regulations that protect the river. We began writing the booklet
a year ago, with the aim of increasing respect for the scenic
river, and of informing riparian landowners what we can and cannot
do to maintain its purity and beauty.
If we had finished our booklet a year ago, neither Mr. Coleman nor
I would be here today. For we accept Mr. Coleman's statement that
the placement of the satellite dish within the 65 foot setback -
- as well as the construction of his brick fireplace virtually on
the edge of the stream -- was inadvertent, an honest error.
The fact is, though, that the dish and the fireplace are there (at
least the last time I canoed down the river) , and they violate both
the letter and the spirit of the scenic stream ordinance. They
provide an abrupt, intrusive, and premature end to the natural
harmony that characterizes the river corridor for miles up-river
and down-river of Mr. Coleman's land.
In this regard, we are pleased that the staff report recommends
denial of the request to reduce the setback.
>�a recycled paper
On the other hand, moving the satellite dish seven feet further
from the river does not assure us that, though then permissible,
it would be less obtrusive. Nor are we convinced that requiring
Mr. Coleman to relocate his satellite dish would be the most
effective way to ensure that in the future other residents along
the Moormans are aware of, and respect, the setback ordinance.
Thus, with some ambivalence and a few conditions, Citizens for
Albemarle does not oppose Mr. Coleman's request for a seven foot
reduction of the setback from the scenic stream.
If the Board of Zoning Appeals decides to accept Mr. Coleman's
request, we urge that it do so with the following four conditions:
First, Mr. Coleman should be required to immediately implement a
screening plan using mature indigenous trees and shrubs, so that
the satellite dish is completely hidden from the river to the
satisfaction of the appropriate county officials.
Second, Mr. Coleman should immediately remove from the 65 foot
setback any other constructions "other than necessary accessory
appurtenant fences and/or walls" -- including the brick fireplace.
Third, that in your written decision the Board of Zoning Appeals
should indicate unambiguously why this reduction of the setback
requirement does not provide a precedent. Those who have struggled
to comply with zoning laws, and those from whom we expect
compliance in the future, should not cynically interpret your
decision as a weakening of the county's resolve to enforce
progressive and reasonable environmental ordinances.
Finally, we urge the Board of Zoning Appeals to encourage steps
that will inform residents along the Moormans River about the
existence of the scenic stream ordinance; this would certainly help
avoid similar inadvertent violations in the future. One way to do
this would be for the Board to recommend that the County provide
financial and technical assistance for the production and
distribution of the Citizens for Albemarle booklet on the Moormans.
Thank you.
