Carroll/S . V. Wilkins , Jr. for Variance Dear Mr. Bailey: I represent Kenneth V. Carroll and S . Vance Wilkins, Jr. who have filed an application for variance with the Albemarle County Zoning Department. Wilkins is the owner of a parcel of land located on Route 800 near the Albemarle-Nelson County dividing line. On this parcel there is presently located eight houses which were constructed over 60 years and which have been used over the years by employees, or former employees, of the Alberene Stone Company. These houses have no indoor plumbing facilities, and the land upon which these houses are located are not suitable for septic tank absorption except for Lot 8 . Please find enclosed a copy of the preliminary plat showing the suggested subdivision of these lots together with a letter from Steven K. Thomas, soil scientist, in which he sets forth his soil report. Enclosed for your review is a list of the present tenants who rent these houses together with the number of members in their family, the number of years they have lived in the house, and the current rent . Also enclosed is a statement prepared by Kenneth Carroll, who has contracted to buy this property from Mr. Wilkins, in which he gives a brief history of the houses and his reasons for requesting the variance. We have met with Mrs . Patterson, your Zoning Administrator, and we understand that we need a variance in four areas : 1 . Section 4 :2 : 1 - a building site size variance for Lots 4 and 5 . Lot 4 only has 20, 000 square feet for a building site and Lot 5 only has 18, 500 square feet for a building site. EDMUNDS 8c WILLIAMS February 21, 1990 Page 2 2 . Section 4 : 1 : 6 - Lots 1 through 6 need a variance for drain field and the reserve. Lot 7 needs a variance for the reserve. 3 . Lots 3 and 4 require a variance for the 25 ' setback for structures from the side boundary line. 4 . Lots 2 through 7 need front and width variances . These dwellings are homes for people who probably could not afford any alternative housing. Mr. Carroll intends to continue to make repairs to these buildings and hopefully sell them to the tenants . He feels that once they acquire title to the property, they will continue to make improvements to the property. This will be in the best interest of not only the present tenants, but also the County. I hope you will give careful consideration to our application for a variance. Sincerely, EDMUNDS & WILLIAMS, P.C. By Robert C. Wood, III RCWIII :ap cc : Ms . Amelia M. Patterson Mr. William D.
