RE: John C. Vermillion and John C. Vermillion, Jr. Variance
Dear Babette:
On behalf of the Vermillions, I am sending an old map relative
to Franklin Subdivision which shows a twenty-five contour interval .
Also shown is Lot 38, which at one time was known as TMP 62-129 and
was subsequently added to TMP 62-28A.
Relative to the variance request to allow the "pipestem"
portion of TMP 62-28A to be subdivided off along with sufficient
acreage to create a lot for John C. Vermillion, Jr. , this map does a
good job in showing the rational not to access the proposed house
site from Cason Farm Road or through TMP 62-28A.
The route from Franklin Drive lays favorable such that little
or no grading will be required to install a driveway. The map
shows a significant difference in elevation between Cason Farm Road
and the proposed house site (over 75 ' difference in elevation. It
also shows a much longer route, from any other access alternative,
in order to serve the proposed house site. Finally, the proposed
house site is a very attractive and logical one and a favorable
septic system site has been found to support this location.
Hopefully this information will allow staff to support the
variance application. If further supporting information is needed,
please advise me.
Sincerely,
—ROTA EICWL._

Re: Soils Study
Proposed 2.0 Acre Lot
Vermillion Property
Route 20 North
Dear Mr. Vermillion:
As requested, we have completed a soils study at the referenced site. The
purpose of the study was to determine the suitability of the soils for the
disposal of sewage by means of a septic tank/drainfield system. The
investigation has consisted of drilling a series of five (5) hand auger test
holes to determine soil profiles. A log of each test hole is shown on the
enclosed soil profile sheets along with a sketch showing the approximate hole
locations. The holes have been flagged with orange ribbon for future reference.
The proposed lot had not been surveyed at the time of our investigation. When
your surveyor surveys the new lot lines he should locate our test holes to make
sure that the proposed drainfield is, in fact, on the new lot.
Generally, the soil profile in the area investigated consists of about 6 inches
of topsoil beneath which there is a layer of silty clay loam of variable
thickness. This upper silty clay loam layer is underlain by clay loam which, in
turn, grades vertically into the underlying greenstone.
In our opinion drainfield lines can be placed in the silty clay loam and/or clay
loam as percolation tests run on similar soils in the area have yielded
percolation rates that meet the current Health Department requirements.
As you know, final approval of the drainfield site rests with the sanitarian
with the Charlottesville—Albemarle Health Department.
We hope this is the information you need. If you have any questions, please let
us know.
Very truly yours,
RECF1VED
