Regarding: ZMA 2015-001 Old Trail Block Village Amended COD
Request for variation of"Parks and Open Space"section in regards to"buildable areas within residential lots
shall not be allowed within stream buffers"
Dear Ms.Nedostup:
Please see below our justification for the requested variations.
Variation from application plan
Due to the delineation and location of Albemarle County's 100' stream buffers,we are seeking a variation of the approved
application plan,which now show proposed lot acreage/potential disturbance within the landward 25' (maximum)of County
stream buffers.Please consider the below:
(I.)The variation sought for the approval of lot acreage/potential disturbance within the landward 25'(maximum)stems
from the hindrance of providing useable lot layouts for Blocks 19,24,25,32,34,&35.After a site walkthrough at Old Trail
Village,it has been determined by Albemarle County Engineering that some perennial and intermittent streams contain
buffer limits which may vary from what is denoted on the County GIS.Additionally,at the time of the approval of the
application plan,block layouts were designed at a conceptual level based on overall site parameters.Upon revisiting the
referenced site areas on a closer scale,the layouts provide more reasonable lot acreage and uniformity across the
development with the permission of buffer disturbance within the landward 25' (maximum).
Thank you for your consideration regarding this request. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best regards,
Jeremy L.Fox
