Regarding: Amendment to ZMA2018-06 (3223 Proffit Road)
Request for Double Frontage Lots (Section 14-401)
To Whom It May Concern,
Section 14.401 in the County Subdivision Ordinance prohibits the development of double frontage lots for
single family detached and attached residential uses. Section 14.203.1 (B) allows the agent or the
commission to vary or except this prohibition. We are requesting this exception from the prohibition of double
frontage lots for the development at 3223 Proffit Road to construct the property frontage along Proffit Road
consistent with the rezoning concept plan.
In your consideration of this request, please consider the following:
1) Section 14-203.1 (B)-3:
N The Concept Plan for 3223 Proffit Road, in accordance with neighborhood model principles, proposes
rear loaded residential units fronting on Proffit Road. This will establish a more urban streetscape on
this portion of Proffit Road located in close proximity to Route 29 in the development areas and will
allow for internal driveway connections to the lots fronting on Proffit Road. The street section for
Proffit Road from Worth Crossing to Development Area Boundary as depicted in Appendix 3:
Roadway Cross Sections of the Places29 Master Plan shows a sidewalk and landscape strip along
the property frontage. Homes with front doors on Proffit Road will help to frame the public pedestrian
space on the sidewalk and will create an inviting space where public pedestrian space is given
precedence over privatized yards. As aforementioned, the homes fronting on Proffit Road will be
accessed from an internal road network; this will minimize conflict points on Proffit Road by allowing
for one vehicular entrance to the property.
Please except the prohibition of double frontage lots, consistent with the concept plan, for this proposed
development. As always if you have any questions or concerns about this request please feel free to call us
at (434) 227-5140 and we are happy to discuss in further detail.
