Memorandum

From: Bill Fritz
Division: Current Development
Date: January 19,2005
Subject: VA 2004—21 Bernard Herring
The subject of this variance is to reduce the setback for existing structures from a proposed internal pnvate road
serving two proposed lots.
An option that was discussed to eliminate the need for a variance was to reduce the width of the easement to 20
feet. This would allow the structures to meet setback. Reduction of the easement width to 20 feet is not
permitted by the subdivision ordinance. The subdivision ordinance requires a minimum easement width of 30
feet. The section reference is 14-514D which states"Right-of-way width. Except as otherwise expressly
provided, a pnvate road subject to Table A which serves fewer than six(6)lots shall have a minimum nght-of-
way width of thirty(30)feet."No provision exists which would allow the Planning Commission or Board of
Supervisors to modify this provision.
