RE: Zoning Determination Cover Letter I Sec. 30.3.11 Stream Crossings and Grading Activities
Dear Mr. Svoboda,
This is an application for a zoning determination regarding the regulations in Sec. 30.3.11 of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, this request is in regards to the following:
"Stream crossings for a driveway serving only one single-family dwelling and pedestrian trails,
including, but not limited to, pedestrian and multi -use paths that are within county -owned or
operated parks and greenways, and any footbridges necessary to cross tributary streams,
watercourses and swales, that: (i) meet the applicable requirements ofsections 17-406 and 17-
604; (ii) demonstrate, in a floodplain impact plan, to the floodplain administrator's satisfaction,
that construction of the crossing will have no impact on the elevations or limits of the floodplain;
and (iii) will serve one dwelling unit that could not be accessed by any other means "
Please find an application form and justification included with this request. Thank you.
Regards,

RE: Zoning Determination Justification I Sec. 30.3.11 Stream Crossings and Grading Activities
Dear Mr. Svoboda,
It is our request to have a determination made regarding regulations in Sec. 30.3.11 of the Albemarle
County Zoning Ordinance. Sec. 30.3.11 lists the following by -right uses under the "Stream Crossings and
Grading Activities" heading of the "Permitted and Prohibited Uses and Structures" table:
"Stream crossings for a driveway serving only one single-family dwelling and pedestrian trails,
including, but not limited to, pedestrian and multi -use paths that are within county -owned or
operated parks and greenways, and any footbridges necessary to cross tributary streams,
watercourses and swales, that: (i) meet the applicable requirements of sections 17-406 and 17-
604; (ii) demonstrate, in a floodplain impact plan, to the floodplain administrator's satisfaction,
that construction of the crossing will have no impact on the elevations or limits of the floodplain;
and (iii) will serve one dwelling unit that could not be accessed by any other means "
Given the above referenced regulations, it is our understanding there are three clauses that identify three
different types of stream crossings that are independent of one another. The three types of stream
crossings are 1) "stream crossings for a driveway serving only one single-family dwelling" 2) stream
crossings for "pedestrian trails, including, but not limited to, pedestrian and multi -use paths that are
within county -owned or operated parks and greenways" 3) stream crossings for "any footbridges
necessary to cross tributary streams, watercourses, and swales." Please determine if the regulations
identify three different stream crossings.
Additionally, please determine that use 2) "pedestrian trails, including, but not limited to, pedestrian and
multi -use paths that are within county -owned or operated parks and greenways" allows for pedestrian
trails by -right in the regulatory floodway and floodway fringe on lands not within county -owned or
operated parks and greenways. The words but not limited to indicate by -right pedestrian trails in the
regulatory floodway and floodway fringe are not exclusive to county -owned or operated parks and
greenways.
In conclusion, please determine if:
• The uses and structures listed in the above referenced regulations are separate types of stream
crossings
• Pedestrian trails are a by -right use in the regulatory floodway and floodway fringe on lands not
within county -owned or operated parks and greenways
