3) VA 97-10. Claudia Jessup, owner/applicant. (Sign #23) Property located
on W. side of Ivy Lane +/- 500 feet S. of its intersection with Windsor
Road. Tax map 60E1, parcel C-9 is zoned RA, Rural Areas. Request is to
reduce the requirement for septic drainfield from 100% reserve to 66%
reserve to allow construction of a new 3 bedroom house. \qlr\
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: Request for variance for approval of a
septic field that does not meet 4. 2 . 2 . 1 We have 166 percent of ti
required 200 percent under this ordinance , as shown on the attacl-d
plat .
JUSTIFICATION SHALL BE BASED ON THESE THREE (3) CRITERIA:
1) That the strict application of this ordinance would produce
undue hardship.
The applicant ' s family has owned this lot since the 1950 ' s ,
and been paying taxes on it The most recent assessment is
$250 , 000 . 00 _ The applicant has the opportunity to sell this lot
at well below the current assessment , but needs this variance to ,3
do so . The applicant no longer lives in this area and has no
desire to continue ownership of the lot .
2) That such hardship is not shared generally by other properties
in the same zoning district and the same vicinity.
In the Farmington subdivision, to my knowledge , there are only
three building lots remaining. All others are built out on , and
no one has experienced this situation
3) That the authorization of such variance will not be of
substantial detriment to adjacent property and that the
character of the district will not be changed by the granting
of the variance.
This variance will have no impact on adjacent properties . and the
character of the district will not change.
The application may be deferred by the staff or the Board of
Zoning Appeals, if sufficient information necessary to this review
has not be submitted by the deadline.
I hereby certify that the information provided on this application
and accompanying information is accurate, true and correct to the
best of my know edge and belief.

Re: Soils Study
Lots 9- Block C
Farmington
Dear Ms. Jessup: Telephone
As requested we have completed a soils study at the referenced site. The purpose of the 8o4.977.1498
study was to determine the suitability of the soils for the disposal of sewage by means
of a septic tank drainfield system. The investigation has consisted of drilling a series of Facsimile
hand auger test holes to determine soil profiles on the lot. A log of each test hole is
shown on the enclosed soil profile sheet along with a sketch showing the approximate 804.977.6778
hole locations. The holes have been flagged with red ribbon for future reference. Also
enclosed is a soil information summary sheet containing information pertinent to the
design of the proposed drainfield.
Based on our investigation, we offer the following comments regarding soil conditions
on Lot 9 as they relate to the installation of a septic tank/drainfield system as a means of
sewage disposal:
1) Soils in the vicinity of profile holes E,L,O,P,Q and B,I,J,K and G,M and R
on Lot 9 are generally suitable for installation of drainfield lines under the current
Health Department regulations. However, it will be necessary to limit the house to 3
bedrooms, install a pump system and obtain a variance from the Zoning Department to
reduce to 100% reserve site to 67%.
2) The house and driveway will have to be located so that neither interferes with
the proposed primary and reserve drainfield sites. The proposed primary and reserve
drainfield sites are quite likely the only areas on the lot where the soils are suitable for
installation of drainfield lines.
3) There is an existing water line that runs through the lot. The house will have
to be located on one side of the water line and the drainfield on the other side. We
discussed this situation with the Health Department and they indicated that this could be
done under the current regulations although some precautions may be necessary.

4) Due to the limited area of suitable soils we were also concerned that there may
be an easement for the water line that would further restrict the potential drainfield sites.
However, we received a copy of the deed made on June 15, 1956 between
Farmington, Inc. and Claude and Mamie Jessup. This deed makes no refernece to an
easement. Provided no easement was created when the Albemarle County Service
Authority took over the water system at Farmington, then the existence of the water line
should not pose a problem for installing a septic system on Lot 9.
In order to insure that Lot 9 is a buildable lot we suggest that you I)
apply for a letter of certification from the Charlottesville-Albemarle
Health Department guaranteeing that they will approve a septic system
on the lot once a permit is applied for and 2) request a variance from
the Albemarle County Zoning Department reducing the 100% reserve
drainfield site to 67%.
The contents of this report reflect our opinion as to the suitability of the soils in the
areas investigated to support a septic tank/drainfield system under the current Health
Department regulations. Final approval and design of the drainfield rests with the
Charlottesville-Albemarle Health Department.
We hope this is the information you need. If you have any questions, please let us
know.
Sincerely,
EARTH TECH, Inc.

Soil Information Summary
Lot 9
Block C
Farmington
1) Position on slope information -Position satisfactory, hillside
2) Slope- 10%
3) Depth to rock/impervious strata-Max. - 60 inches+ Min. - 40 inches
4) Depth to seasonal water table-60 inches+
5) Free water present- No
6) Soil percolation rate estimated-65 @ 24-36"
Comments: Locate primary drainfield in vicinity of holes E,L,O,P and Q at 24"
(6 85 foot lines). Split reserve site between holes B,I,J and K(3 50 foot lines) and
G,M and R(3 67 foot lines). Area is large enough to support primary and 67%
reserve site for 3 bedroom house. A pump system will be required. Issuance of
a drainfield permit will probably depend on variance from Albemarle County Zoning
Department to decrease 100%reserve site to 67%and whether or not the Health
Department will allow the piping(conveyance system) from the pump chamber to the
distribution box to be placed under the existing water line.
