Attention: John Shepherd
Mr. Shepherd:
In reply to your letter of 15 May informing us of Charles Lunsford's request for
relief of the Zoning Ordinance to reduce the front yard, shouldn't this situation have
been resolved before the permit was issued? Construction has been going on for
over a month already. I wish to state the following:
I wonder if anyone from your department has visited this site. There is already a
very high fence and shrubbery only 3 feet from the edge of Rt. 692. This is all new
but when it grows, it will prove a problem their being so close to the road. He also
erected a"shed"(I never received any correspondence from the county regarding
this)only 40 feet from the center of Rt. 692. I have been in touch with Mr. Svoboda
but have not had a reply, after asking him to visit the site. He informed me that this
building should be 75 feet from the center of road.
Last year,Mr. Lunsford graded a new road into his property which was in the flood
plain. He did not get a permit nor was he granted special permission to do so. We
did not object at that time,but it seems to us that his continued disrespect for the
laws of Albemarle County should be recognized_
