III Dear County, We just finished a home in Albemarle county in April 2020 and by the grace of God with covid hitting at the end of the build actually survived the setbacks that the pandemic created in the end of our project.:) From start to finish it was a LONG 2 year journey. We built the house with 3 levels for the express purpose of being able to Age in Place and never move again as we are in our 60 's now and intend to live here the rest of our lives. My husband is a true local and has been in Charlottesville his entire life and I have been here for 34 years now, so I guess I am a local now. If we ever need assistance in older years we will use our little apt. downstairs for a caregiver or one of our daughters. However at this juncture in our lives we want to open it up for Those seeking a country setting who are visiting here, esp if they have garden interests As we are developing our property with flower gardening and are working with forestry dept and other mushroom farmers to develop mushroom growing for personal use only not for production. We only have one bedroom and one bath in the basement for homestay use and so will only be renting to one or 2 persons, usually a couple for weekend getaways. We are very much off the road of 20 - Stony Point Road as there is almost 3 acres in front of us that Michael Chisholm has owned for 20 years. He is fine with us having our modest 2 person Air bnb. We have calls made to our other neighbors to discuss our situation. We have not reason to believe they will be impacted in any way by us having this 2 person rental. We are also friends with the neighbors on the left of the driveway whose houses are on Vincennes in the Key West neighborhood coming up Michaels driveway The Maupins and The Ratliff's . Ms. Probst is up Flicker and has 4 rentals and our only view of her at all is of her driveway Her house and rental homes can't even be seen by our home. The property behind us is not for sale and has been owned by a woman who has not lived in Charlottesville. She has given us verbal permission to contact her should we want to buy that piece or find anyone we know who wants to buy that piece as that house would be accessed by Chisholm and our driveways. So we are requesting permission for reduced setback allowance for the one side that is less than 125 feet , as the houses on flicker can't even see our house and are way up the flicker lane. She has 4 rental properties up her land and their cars do not bother us either. The houses on Vincennes side are just 3 feet short and of guidelines and the trees and vegatative screening makes our house not seen from those houses and we also can't see their houses most of the year. Our property is mainly wooded with the exception of the yard Plus our driveway does not go by any of these houses in front of their homes. I have submitted a parcel map showing all the measurements to the various boundaries and did pay for a survey when we closed last April 2020 if you need it other than this parcel drawing. Please let me know and I can bring in the survey dated 2020 if needed. We humbly request we are granted this special boundary exception of boundary line distances as we are almost at the 125 on most boundaries and we want to share our land and home and love of nature with those who visit our area and we built the home when in planning stages for the purpose of doing so and as stated earlier of aging in place. Also, when we moved in we worked with VDOT and replaced the Culvert when we improved our driveway in order to keep the flow of water going from the above properties. There are several air bnbs already operating in Key West neighborhood with very little Privacy from neighbors and we feel our wooded and 2 acre setting is ideal for a country garden getaway. We want to do all the paperwork and applications and pay whatever fees are due and pay our Taxes for what the rental generates to the county. It is our greatest desire to share our land and blessing of our land and home with others. Looking forward to hearing from you and please do not hesitate to call with any questions of us. Respectfully, Linda and Richard Heeschen Long standing County of Albemarle residents Linda 434 466-8432 or Richard - 434 466-0341 ,+#.
