RE: Creekside V, Phase I — Exception Request for Double Frontage Lots
Dear Paty Saternye,

I'm writing to request a waiver by staff for the authorization of double frontage lots within the Creekside V Phase I
development. The waiver request is consistent with section 14-401 of the Albemarle County Subdivision
Ordinance under Section 14-401— Double Frontage lots may be varied or excepted by the agent as provided in
section 12-203.1 and the double frontage lots shall be screened as provided in section 14-419. The applicant is
pursuing a waiver request for (3) lots within the Creekside V — Phase I development. The concept of allowing the
double frontage lots creates a better development with lots that are served and accessed from an internal street,
and not requiring an additional driveway connection along Jarman's Gap Road. A 20' buffer easement is proposed
and will be landscaped under the required Albemarle County buffer and landscaping requirements. The proposed
landscaping will buffer the lots from Jarman's Gap Road, and the only access to the lots shall be from Birmingham
Court. Driveway access from these lots to Jarman's Gap Road will be prohibited.
We ask that staff grant this waiver and authorization for double frontage lots within this proposed development
plan. The principles of Neighborhood design and planning are better met with the proposed design and this
waiver request.
Thank you for considering this request.
