This access regulation and waiver criteria are found in Chapter 14, Section 404 of the Albemarle County Code. In order to approve the waiver the following fmdings must be met: In approving a waiver,the agent shall fmd that requiring the extension would not forward the purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public interest; and granting the waiver would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare,to the orderly development of the area,to sound engineering practices, and to the land adjacent thereto. It is my opinion that requiring a single point of access would not forward the purposes of this chapter or otherwise serve the public interest. Based on the three reasons given on your waiver application, I concur that 1. State Route 683 is the dividing line between lot A and the Residue. It would be impossible for Lot A and the residue of Tax Map and Parcel 56-113 to use the same access to the building site. 2. The existing dwelling on Tax Map and Parcel 56-113 is currently accessing State Route 683 from an existing Ingress and Egress easement(D.B. 298-12)passing through the adjacent property(Tax Map and Parcel 56-113A)North of its frontage on State Route 683, and 3. The residue of Tax Map and Parcel 56-113 has four development rights. However according to stipulations in the conservation easement to the County of Albemarle,the residue may be divided into not more than two lots containing approximately 133 acres each. I fmd the above reasons to be justifiable, and along with the entrance approval received from the Virginia Department of Transportation,I hereby approve of the 404-waiver. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, I MAW- Gerald Gatobu, LEED AI'� Principal Planner, Current Development Division.
