Appeal to the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
Points of consideration in requesting a Homestay approval exception for
1874 Thomas Jefferson Pkwy, Charlottesville, VA 22902:
• This Homestay has never had a complaint of any kind from neighbors or guests.
Our visitors are almost all either vacationing couples, small groups of older (age
40 plus) adults, or families with children who are visiting the local landmarks.
The maximum visitors allowed is 6.
• This Homestay maintains a 5 Star AirBNB Review profile from guests and
"Superhost" status from Airbnb. It has had zero issues or problems with guests,
neighbors, or Airbnb.
• Because of its "closest to" proximity to landmarks such as Monticello and Ash
Lawn this Homestay attracts many visitors to the area who pay county sales tax
and add to the vibrancy and success of the local economy. 100% of these
visitors have left our county with nothing but good things to say about us. I
believe that, in some way, their comfortable visit at our Homestay helped form
this opinion. Many guests have indicated that they would like to return in the
future and it is likely they will refer others to visit us in Albemarle as well.
• This Homestay has been in compliance or in the process of complying with all
county rules and regulations.
• This Homestay in firmly committed to a non -discriminating policy and has been
host to people of a wide range of ethnicities and various sexual orientations. All
are welcome here and are treated equally and with respect. We believe this is
the model our community would want to project to visitors.
• This Homestay is located on a rural 13 acre property with considerable space
and heavy mature woods between all neighbors. The one property line in
question (which was indicated in the initial county report as too close to the
house) is heavily wooded so the neighboring "house" is not in view for 8 to 9
months out of the year. Also, the "house" on that lot has been vacant for
years and, I believe, has been abandoned and is uninhabitable. In short,
there are no neighbors on this lot, thus nobody to disturb.
• Even if the house in question was occupied it is approximately the same distance
from the Homestay residence as the neighbor on the other side. It is simply a
property line issue. Please consider that the property line in question is
measured by the county from the Homestay garage ... not the actual house.
Measuring from either the front door or back deck (both of which are in the
middle of the house) it is almost exactly the same distance to each of the two
neighboring houses (approximately 190 feet). There are thick mature tree lines
between properties so those houses are both out of sight for most of the year.
Little or no sound can be heard from any neighbor.
• This Homestay in no way is a detriment to any abutting lot, and it has operated
and will continue to operate with absolutely no harm to the public health, safety,
or welfare.
• Finally, Airbnb collects considerable tax revenue for the county from this
Homestay's guests... Mostly from out-of-state visitors. I personally also pay state
tax on the income earned and am arranging to pay county business tax as well.
So ultimately there are three sources of tax revenue coming to the county from
this operation.
In conclusion, the operation of this Homestay will be a benefit to our community as it
has proven to be a fine representation of our county to visitors and also will continue to
be an excellent source of tax revenue for the county. These benefits come with
absolutely no harm to neighbors, neighboring lots, or the public health, safety, or
welfare.
Your consideration is appreciated.
