The following comments are provided as input from the Zoning Division regarding the above noted application for an
historic tavern and inn by special use permit on TMP 08700-00-00-003130.
1. General information
a. Construction and development of the site may not begin until a final site plan is approved.
b. If the Special Use Permit is approved by the Board of Supervisors, commencement of the use may not
begin until issuance of a Zoning Clearance.
c. This review addresses only the updated proposal for an inn use on TMP 87-313. Per the applicant's
updated communication, this review does not address the rezoning or use of TMP 87-4. Use on TMP 87-4
is therefore assumed to remain residential, or other use as permitted by the parcel's existing Village
Residential zoning.
2. Application Issues
a. The concept plan submitted with the original application, Crossroads Tavern & Inn at Pippin Hill, dated
January 17, 2022, shows drainfields on both TMP 87-4 and the opposite abutting parcel, TMP 86-88,
owned by Pippin Hill Farm and Vineyards. Under this condition, the special use permit would need to
encompass parcels 87-4, 87-313, and 87-88. An updated plan provided as page 4 of the document "The
Crossroads Inn Restoration - April 2022," titled "Proposed Site Plan (REVISED: Inn Lot only, no Rezoning
of 87-4)," removes the drainfield on TMP 87-4 but keeps the drainfield on TMP 86-88. Under this
condition, both TMP 87-313 and parts of TMP 87-88 would need to be encompassed by the special use
permit boundaries. The accessory use of the drainfield, as well as any other uses supportive of the historic
inn and tavern, must be encompassed by the special use permit boundaries.
3. Concept Plan
a. Standard Rural Areas setbacks will be applied, as shown on the concept plan dated January 17, 2022. The
updated plan provided as page 4 of the document "The Crossroads Inn Restoration - April 2022," titled
"Proposed Site Plan (REVISED: Inn Lot only, no Rezoning of 87-4)," does not seem to meet the required
setbacks for the upper three proposed cottages.
b. Provide a note on the applicable pages of the concept plan whether the locations of structures are for
illustrative purposes only, and are intended to show only general locations of proposed structures and
areas of activity, with the exception that areas of activity will not encroach upon measured setbacks.
c. The updated plan provided as page 4 of the document "The Crossroads Inn Restoration - April 2022,"
titled "Proposed Site Plan (REVISED: Inn Lot only, no Rezoning of 87-4)," does not include plantings to
remain or for shielding purposes. Include those plantings on the revised plan.
