RE: Albemarle County Zoning Regulations
For Septic System on Tax Map 041A, Parcel 111
Dear Mr. Warby:
This letter is to confirm in writing that which we discussed in our meeting this Monday Your inquiry was
about County regulations for residential sewage disposal on a lot in Lake Albemarle, tax map 41 A, parcel
111. As I understand it, this lot is approximately 1/3 acre in size and is built with a mobile home.
Section 6 4.1, "Nonconformities", permits replacement of the existing mobile home with another mobile
home This section specifically, "exempts" mobile home replacements from compliance with regulations
such as that for septic systems It states in part, "nothing in this section shall prohibit the replacement of
a nonconforming mobile home provided the mobile home is labeled to indicate compliance with either
the Virginia Industrialized Building and Mobile Home Safety Regulations or with the Federal Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standards " In any other proposal, regardless of the number of bedrooms,
compliance with Section 4 1 6 is required This section requires Health Department approval of a primary
and reserve area septic disposal field to accommodate sewage disposal for a 3-bedroom dwelling
A variance is necessary even if constriction of a 2-bedroom house is proposed As I have mentioned, the
location of this property in a watershed in close proximity to a public lake, generates the need for careful
and deliberate thought for the construction of a house and septic disposal Nothing shall preclude the Health
Department from imposing any regulations which may be more stringent
Should you have further questions, please contact me
Sincerely,
(,t, *Li
