1) VA-93-30. Malcolm Woodward and VA Land Trust (owners) .
Property located on the S side of Fontaine Ave, in the SE quad of
its inters w/ Rts 29 and 250 by-pass, zoned Highway Commercial
and EC overlay, TM76/P12B, 12C, 12E. Variances to 1) reduce parking
setback from adjacent residential zoning (the State Dept. of
Forestry) from 20 to 8 ft for 9 spaces and to 2) reduce the bldg
setback from adjacent residential from 50 to 40 ft, to allow
construction on an existing foundation. \qlr\
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: To allow nine (9) parking spaces to encroach into
the 20' parking set back and the undisturbed buffer per section 21.7.2 and 21.7.3
of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
JUSTIFICATION SHALL BE BASED ON THESE THREE (3) CRITERIA:
1) That the strict application of this ordinance would produce
undue hardship.
The application of this ordinance would impact the proposed project by the loss
of nine (9) parking spaces as mentioned above. Being active in the rnmmerrial
market we feel this would greatly limit the marketability of this project either
for sale or lease.
2) That such hardship is not shared generally by other properties
in the same zoning district and the same vicinity.
This is a unique situation in that our property is zoned H.C. and is adjacent to
R-1 land owned by the State Dept. of Forestry who is exempt from local zoning
regulations. Although the operation is commercially oriented the zoning is still
maintained as R-1.
3) That the authorization of such variance will not be of
substantial detriment to adjacent property and that the
character of the district will not be changed by the granting
of the variance.
As shown on the zoning map, the property is bounded to the North by Highway
Commercial land to the East by Morey Creek and Memphis University School (vacant)
and to the South and West by R-1 zoned land occupied by the Dept. of Forestry, who
is operating a commercial venture, which would coincide with our use. The steep
embankment created by the Forestry Dept. offers a very substantial buffer. The
Buckingham Office project iet our opinion will only enhance the character of the
surrounding area.
The application may be deferred by the staff or the Board of
Zoning Appeals, if sufficient information necessary to this review
has not be submitted by the deadline.
I hereby certify that the information provided on this application
and accompanying information is accurate, true and correct to the
best of my knowledge and belief.

RE: Buckingham Office Building - Preliminary Site Plan
Dear Bill:
Per our conversation yesterday after the ARB meeting,
enclosed is a copy of the Variance application that will
explain item #2 of your memorandum dated July 29, 1993 .
Also enclosed is a copy of a letter from the Department of
Forestry pertaining to the parking and setback buffer.
Bill, in answering item #5 and #6 from your memorandum, the
only landscaping proposed at this time is what's shown on
the site plan. As you stated staff is sensitive to the
topography which is a very steep embankment along the
Department of Forestry site. We would like to be able to
keep along the lines of the site plan. Attached is a marked
copy of the site plan showing existing and new trees.
As mentioned to you yesterday, Fred Pugsley is out of the
country until I believe next week. You had indicated that
you would work with us regarding the Planning Commission
meeting and keep the Board date the same. I will have Fred
call you when he arrives back in town next week.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Stephen M. Melton

Dear Ms. McCulley:
This is in reference to parcels 12B, 12C and 12E on tax plat 76 in Samuel Miller
Magisterial District, Albemarle County. This site is proposed for a one story office building
to be developed by Virginia Land Trust.
The Virginia Department of Forestry owns the adjoining property listed as parcel
17A. It is our understanding that the proposed development site would include
encroachment of parking spaces into the 20' setback and undisturbed buffer area on the
Department of Forestry property line. In order to place the parking area as planned it's
necessary for the developer to obtain a varience to the zoning ordinance. The
Department of Forestry has no objection to approval of the variance for this purpose.
If we can respond to any further questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely yours,
Harold L. Olinger

MEMORANDUM
TO: Amelia McCulley - Zoning Administra
FROM: Jack M. Kelsey, PE - Civil Engineer
I►
DATE:
May 10, 1993
RE:
Buckingham Office Building "Conceptual" Site Plan ; SDP-93-002
Buddy Edwards, at the request of Fred Pugsley, has provided this Department with the flood
study to determine the 100 year storm water surface elevation, as requested in our previous
meeting. This Department has reviewed the methodology utilized and the calculations
provided, and has concluded that they are in accordance with engineering practice and the
results acceptable. The 100 year flood elevation was established at 436.38, USGS datum.
This places the southwest building/foundation corner, elevation 435.41, within the floodplain
(see attached sketch). In addition the basement floor elevation is 435.77, which is
approximately 7" below the 100 year water surface elevation.
If fill was allowed to be placed at the corner, without increasing the flood surface elevation,
the walls of the building/foundation might be considered no longer in the in the floodplain, if
acceptable to FEMA. However, the basement floor would still be below the 100 year water
surface elevation and subject to potential flooding.
At this point in time some ruling must be made and some options offered to the applicant.
Call me if you would like to further discuss this project.

RE: Buckingham Office Building

Dear Mr. Hirschman:
I am writing to review and confirm the findings of the meeting that I
had with you and Jack Kelsey on Wednesday, February 3, 1993,
concerning the proposed development of this site .
Morey ' s Creek is a "blue line stream. " and thus the site does fall
under the Water Resource Protection Area Ordinance . As some of the
site improvements and site disturbances will fall within the required
100 ' buffer, a water quality impact assessment will be necessary. It
appears that the scope of disturbance will be such that it will
require a minor assessment .
The existing foundation will not be considered to be an encroachment
on the buffer, as it is an existing condition. All other disturbances
within the buffer (storm detention basin, excavation for utilities,
and grading for sidewalks and adjacent to the building) will be
included in the assessment . Ironically, grading for the storm water
detention basin is a disturbance, but the basin itself will be a best
management practice . Before proceeding with the assessment , we will
obtain from you a copy of the recommended vegetation materials and
practices from the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Manual .
Realistically. the water quality impact assessment cannot be submitted
until after preliminary site plan review, when there is a plan to
analyze .
It is my understanding that there is nothing prohibitive about the
proposed development , and with proper application of best management
practices, the development should be able to meet the requirements of
the ordinance . We are proceeding now with the flood study, but do not
know when the preliminary site plan will be ready for submission, nor
consequently, the water quality impact assessment .
Thank you for taking the time to discuss this proposal , and if the
above review is in any way inaccurate, please advise me at once so
that I can alter my planning accordingly.
Sincerely y s,
