BACKGROUND:
This request is to reapprove the special use permit SP 03-06 which allowed the 32 -lot expansion
of the Cedar Hill Mobile Home Park. A copy of the staff report is included as Attachment B. The
approved conditions are in Attachment C.
The expiration occurred for two reasons. First, the applicant has been trying to obtain off-site
sewer easements from the University Real Estate Foundation to allow a sewer connection
through North Fork Research Park. A different alignment for the sewer is being sought than
previously anticipated. (See Attachment D.) Secondly, although the applicant applied for an
extension of the permit before the expiration, the public hearing schedule resulted in a later
action date than the date of expiration of the Special Use Permit. The applicant made application
on February 29. 2005 and the Special Use Permit expired on June 3, 2005.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the previously approved plan and file correspondence, new FEMA maps,
current Code, and the current plan for the North Pointe development. There have been no
1
regulatory changes that would affect this project since it was approved in 2003. Staff also finds
no change of circumstance that would adversely affect this request.
Staff has also consulted with the Albemarle County Service Authority concerning a likely time
period for engineering approvals of sewer plans. The Service Authority staff has said that it is
difficult to predict how much time it will take since time periods for obtaining off-site easements,
which is the most time consuming part, can be substantial. Reapproving the previous special
use permit will result in an extension of two more years, which is what was requested by the
applicant.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends reapproval Special Use Permit 03-06 with the following condition(s):
Pending the satisfaction of all conditions of approval for the special use permit and
modifications and waivers, a maximum of thirty-two (32) new mobile home lots shall be
allowed in the mobile home park. Those new lots shall be arranged generally in the areas
and configuration shown on the application plan, dated January 27, 2003;
2. No mobile home units shall be relocated or installed, nor shall any new construction
activity take place in the expanded area as illustrated on the application plan dated
January 27, 2003 until after a site plan has been approved. No change in unit location
shall occur on the existing or expanded areas without a site plan approval;
3. A landscape plan shall be submitted for review with the required site plan; and
4. The stormwater and utility improvements illustrated on the application plan dated January
27, 2003 may be adjusted as approved by the agent on the final site plan if the agent
determines the adjustments to be more site sensitive, environmentally sensitive, visually
sensitive, and less obtrusive method to achieve the same results.
