Kay Ogg 405 Balbion Drive, Earlysville, VA 22936 Lot 6- Sycamore TMP 40-45E Description of Request: This request for a zoning variance, is to install a landing deck, or platform of 380 sq. ft., approximately 100' from the water's edge of the Rivanna Reservoir,thus encroaching into the 200' stream buffer zone by 100'. No other encroachments are sought by this request, and we seek only the above very limited use. This landing, approximately 20'x21' with railings on 3 sides and built to County specifications, will be used as a stopping point in traversing the slope to reach the owners proposed pier at the water's edge. It will also be used as a safe place(away from view of the water)to store a canoe and paddles, and to secure them against possible theft. Property owners(Mr. &Mrs. Ogg)of this residential lot situated on five acres fronting on the Rivanna Reservoir are desirous of installing a small pier on the water. To facilitate this desire, they have applied, and have pending, a request to the Rivanna Water& Sewer Authority for such permission. Since the lot is very steep (as much as a 35 degree slope) as it falls toward the water frontage,the landing deck will allow for a safe traverse and stopping point before descending the remaining 100' to the proposed pier. Justification: Criteria # 1: That the strict application of this ordinance would produce undue hardship. Property owners( Mr. &Mrs. Ogg) are 60 years and 56 years old respectfully. It is their viewpoint that with out a safe and adequate way to traverse the steep slope from the existing residence to the proposed pier, the installation of which is adequately provided for through the pending application before the Rivanna Water& Sewer Commission, the ability to use said pier would be rendered virtually impossible. The property owners have purchased and constructed a custom upscale residential home, costing in excess of$1,000,000 (construction cost=$800,000 plus cost of land valued today at $200,000). Property taxes paid to Albemarle County are about $5800 per year, based on a tax valuation of about $665k. The perceived market value depends heavily on the fact that the lot is Reservoir frontage, providing both picturesque views and access to the Reservoir for private boating use, as an accommodation to the landowner pursuant to the covenants of the RWSA placed on the land. Rendering this second critical aspect of the land use unusable would seriously devalue this property by a measurable amount, estimated by the owners to be as much as 10%, or, $100,000. They believe this to be an undue financial, as well as physical access hardship. Finally, through an honest error on the Ogg's part,the platform was actually constructed before it came to the attention of the County due to a complaint, or while a site visit was being performed for purposes of the RWSA pier permit. This took place since the platform was planned for during final construction of the residence in 1997, between the owners and the construction superintendent, who independently contracted to have the platform constructed and assured the owners that all relevant permits would be cared for by he and/or the platform installer. The construction superintendent ( Joseph Martin)has since left the contractor's employ, and the platform installer(Waynesboro Planking/Decking)has gone out of business. Attempts to contact them were fruitless and the Ogg's proceeded to complete what they thought was an authorized structure using independent labor. The owners have now invested over$5,000 in what has been completed to date which would also be lost if this variance is not approved. Criteria # 2: That such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity. The terrain on the east side of the Rivanna Reservoir in the area running from the Rte#743 bridge for the first 1.0 miles is unique. It is steeply sloped upward from the water, rising at some points at a 35 degree slope. At that point, after the presence of an inlet with stream(just north of lot#7 in Sycamore subdivision), the terrain is relatively flat from the water back to any building sites. From there on running north through the remainder of the Reservoir area on the east side, the terrain remains relatively flat rendering the type of relief sought in this variance unnecessary. The west side of the Reservoir is fairly flat for most of the Reservoir limits, and is fully developed. By visual inspection, there appears to be 9-10 lots on the east side of the Reservoir, running from the bridge on Rte#743 mentioned earlier, to just north of the Ogg's property; after that point the land flattens out. Again by visual inspection, there are 3-4 piers visible on those lots. It would appear then,that the hardship in question is not shared by the majority of the water frontage lots, and if it is, the number of lots would be a maximum of 6, plus the Ogg's property in question with this application. We conclude that no major variance request increase would be precipitated by allowing the relief sought here. Criteria #3: That the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to the adjacent property and that the character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance. The platform being proposed is in the middle of a fully matured woodland, with trees reaching 60-80' tall, fully vegetated. The closest property line is 135' south, and that lot is also a fully mature forest with a single family residence on it, at least 250' froth the property line.. The property line to the north is 175' away, again fully matured woodland with a single family residence. For 9 months of the year(spring thru fall)the platform is virtually invisible to the adjacent property owners. The homes on properties on the east side of the reservoir(across the water)are a minimum of mile away and further. Finally during the lets vegetated period (winter)the platform is still almost invisible, since it hit been built around 2 mature trees on the side of the hill and absolutely no grading or tree-removal took place. In conclusion, we respectfully request the zoning variance sought in this application so that we may enjoy our home and Reservoir access a$was our original intention in building in Albemarle County. 46` )At 5WO DA .
