RE: Board of Zoning Appeals Action
Variance Application, VA-2000-015
Tax Map 79, Parcel 10 (part)
Dear Ms. Long:
This letter is to inform you that your variance application, VA-2000-015, was heard by the Albemarle
County Board of Zoning Appeals on August 1, 2000. The Board ruled (3:1) to approve the variance subject
to the following conditions:
1. This variance is for the facility described in this file only. Any modification will require new variance
review.
2. A tree conservation plan identifying all trees that have a diameter of six (6) inches or greater
(measured at six (6) inches above ground) within 25 feet of the proposed tower site shall be prepared
by the applicant and submitted with the building permit application for the tower. The plan should
note any trees to be removed to make space for the tower and its appurtenances including the
driveway.
3. The cutting of trees within 75 feet of the new tower shall be limited to dead trees and trees of less
than six (6) inches in diameter measured at six (6) inches above ground, except those trees identified
on the plans as necessary for the establishment of the towers;
4. Removal of any remaining trees (or their limbs) shown on either plan is prohibited unless
recommended by an arborist for the health of the tree or required by a public utility.
This approval allows relief from section 10.4 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow a reduction of the front yard
setback from 75 to 18 feet to allow construction of a 55-foot wooden telecommunications pole.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jan Sprinkle
Chief of Zoning Administration
