J eff,
I wanted to touch base in reference to SUB2019-89 Sub Plat Parcel X.
As specified below, the subdivision plat submission will be withdrawn for inactivity 6 months after the deferral date
(6/19/19).
6 Months will be 12/19/19.
This will happen automatically, and notification from the county is not required, but I just wanted to give you a heads
up that the date is approaching.
Does the applicant still wish to move forward or should it just be withdrawn it even before 12/19/19?
Please note that if it will move forward the item in the incompleteness letter (6/7/19) must be addressed.
Thanks,

Sorry for not being available earlier.
I just conferred with Bill Fritz and he said that we can defer it, based upon your request below, for up to 6 months from
today.
It must be resubmitted, with the required additional fee (as stated in the incompleteness letter), on or before that 6
months deadline or the submission will automatically be withdrawn for inactivity.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Francis and Jeff,
Is Mr. Freeman communicating with you as well or just me? Has he agreed to the meeting later this week?
If appropriate could one of you communicate with him in reference to his new concerns below? I don't think it is in my
purview.
Also, this morning Frank P. told me that Geoff would be approving what submitted for the critical slopes.
I don't know any more than that. So, please communicate with Geoff directly if you need any more info or have any
questions. I've copied him on this.

I mentioned in an email to you yesterday that a yurt kit arrived by flatbed and was transferred to 48C, piece by
piece. There have been sounds from the general area of delivery of the yurt kit which could signify many things, but
they are consistent with sounds you might expect to hear from a small construction site. These sounds began yesterday
after delivery and continue this morning.
It is possible, but not certain, that, assembly of the yurt has been started. Has a permit for this been approved?

If appropriate could one of you communicate with him in reference to his new concerns below? I don't think it is in my
purview.

Also, this morning Frank P. told me that Geoff would be approving what submitted for the critical slopes.
I don't know any more than that. So, please communicate with Geoff directly if you need any more info or have any
questions. I've copied him on this.

I mentioned in an email to you yesterday that a yurt kit arrived by flatbed and was transferred to 48C, piece by
piece. There have been sounds from the general area of delivery of the yurt kit which could signify many things, but
they are consistent with sounds you might expect to hear from a small construction site. These sounds began yesterday
after delivery and continue this morning.
It is possible, but not certain, that, assembly of the yurt has been started. Has a permit for this been approved?

Hey Patty,
I think he has also been sending his messages to Francis separately. We bumped into Geoff this morning and talked
about his approval, which has been updated in CV. We still plan on meeting with Mr. Freeman this Thursday just to hear
out his concerns and gently let him know what is being proposed is OK.

Please see Mr. Freeman's questions below.
I'm not sure if the subdivision review comes into play or not, unless they are using the yurts as primary residences and
will only have one on each lot after subdividing.

Subject: Major questions I have regarding development of 48C.
How many yurts are to be built? I have heard from various sources 1, 2, or 3.
Likelihood of 1, of 2, of 3 being built on 480.
What is the purpose of the yurt(s)? I would like the answer to this question in as specific terms as possible. For instance,
Pacific Yurts, a large vendor of Yurt kits, promotes its products as follows:
"An excellent choice for a variety of personal uses, including vacation homes, cabins,temporary housing, guest
lodging, office/studios, fitness rooms and spas."
This question is very important. It raises the question of compatibility with the general character of this immediate
neighborhood. Any kind of short term rental would introduce a rotating series of strangers with their vehicles and
individual customs into the neighborhood. This is completely at odds with the neighborhood makeup as it now
exists,which is a stable residential neighborhood. By and large, people have lived here for a considerable time and know
each other.
24
Why Yurts? Their design, construction, livability and durability are meant to accomplish completely different goals than
the design, construction, livability and durability of the typical house in this neighborhood.. So, why should yurts be
gratuitously introduced into the middle of such an existing environment?
Isn't one of the major goals of zoning to prevent grotesque mismatches in side -by -side development?
I can see no advantage to the neighborhood in the development of 48C as it stands. What am I missing?
Thank you so much for your prompt response to my email, Ms. Saternye.

I would like to get some clarification from you on the survey you presented last Tuesday. There is a note on the
submittal that eludes to a flyover performed in March of 2019. Was this flyover pre or post access installation? If it was
post construction, do you have a physical survey showing the pre -construction conditions? Engineering cannot make a
final determination until the above has been clarified. Thank you for any additional information you have in regards to

Attached is the revised driveway shown without any critical slope disturbance. I have had the topography field
measured by Roudabush, Gale & Associates, Inc. and this more accurate topography is shown on the site plan with the
actual critical slopes shaded. The location of the proposed structure and other specifics have not changed. Also, it
doesn't appear we will be pursuing the subdivision of the property.

Chris,
Something which I had overlooked was brought to my attention regarding the building permit for this dwelling. The
proposed location would require disturbing critical slopes which, in turn, requires obtaining a special exception.
However, being that there exists a 30,000+sq.ft buildable area outside of areas of critical slopes, an exception would not
be granted. Therefore, the proposed location of the dwelling needs to be revised to be on a building site that does not
require traversing/disturbing areas of critical slopes. This information was provided to representatives handling a
subdivision plat (application number SUB2019-89) for this property in the form of a comment letter by planning staff
handling this pending application, which I understand, has been deferred.

Jeff & Geoff,
Is this something they can do now?
Do they have approval?
Are they going to put it where the County GIS showed there was no disturbance for the road, or was it confirmed that
the field run topo was prior to disturbance and therefore they could move forward with the building site further into the
parcel?
I don't want to meet with the neighbor (see email below for a requested meeting ASAP) until I have all the current
information.
So, I just wanted to reach out to you both to ensure I have it.
Also, if you think either you should be part of such a meeting, or think it would be more appropriate for them to meet
with you instead of me, please let me know ASAP.
No subdivision has been approved, which is where I would be coming into the discussion.
Anything they do before the subdivision approval I may not be the right person to talk to.

in the form of an email dated July 30 from Francis MacCall to Jeffrey Haynes an attorney who was representing me. But
some very important questions remain
unanswered.
"The planner reviewing the proposed subdivision is Paty Saytenye..... Any questions regarding the subdivision may be
directed to Paty." This quote is taken from Mr. MacCall's email of the 30th.
I request a personal meeting with you to discuss remaining issues. I am asking for this meeting to be held as soon as
possible. This morning a yurt kit was delivered by flatbed truck and transferred to 48C by forklift. Again from Mr.
MacCall's email: "We do have an application for a building permit to build a single-family dwelling. This permit has yet to
be issued."
I will make myself available for our meeting at a date and time of your choosing.

I forgot to also say that Francis was wondering about whether the proposed driveway, in the exhibit submitted today,
would not be too steep.
I think, from a rough approximation, he was uncertain if it might be at - or a little above - the maximum allowed.

Frank & Geoff,
After our discussion today, in reference to B2019-01481 & SUB2019-89 (Plat showing New Parcel X) I went through the
Critical Slopes (18-4.2) section of the ordinance and then chatted with Bill confirming the process.
Also, I ran into Francis in the hall and he had a good question about the field run topo, which I will broach below.
First, Bill said that for Critical Slopes (Rural Areas) if field run topo is officially submitted and approved by the County
Engineer there is no other process that has to be done to accept that the critical slopes areas different from the County
GIS.
So, the applicant has to submit whatever, and go through whatever process, engineering has in place for the County
Engineer approving Field Run topo.
Second, Francis asked whether this field run topo (submitted today) was surveyed prior to any disturbance that may
have already been done to the critical slopes and site. We need to confirm that the topo was not disturbed before the
survey of the topo was done.
Geoff, if you have been out to the site previously:
M
• Was there any disturbance at the time of your visit to the area of critical slopes shown on the County's GIS?
• Could we confirm that there has not been any disturbance to the critical slopes since any previous visit you may
have done?
A side note, and not about the project discussed above:
Just to confirm what Frank broached in our earlier discussion, "Steep Slopes" in the Development Area have a very
different process when the applicant states that the GIS is not accurate because "Steep Slopes" are a "zoning
overlay". "Critical Slopes" are not.

Somehow this e-mail from last week got buried but Keith Huckstep just forwarding me your floor plan so that's all I

I have attached a sketch that I have for the floor plan. As I mentioned before it will be in a digital format in a week or 10
days. My hope is this or possibly an improved version will be sufficient for review purposes. The framing will be 2x4 16"
on center standard framing. The interior walls do not provide any structural support to the yurt. There will be some
unfinished storage above the bedroom in the loft area. Please let me know what other information you need and I will
get on that right away.
Regarding the neighbor's comments, we have no plans for any more yurts on the property. I think it is kind of funny
how people gossip and wild stories are created.

Gotcha. I will also say that a concerned neighbor dropped by our office having heard that more than one (I believe 3 was
the number he stated) of these yurts were planned to be built and that there was going to be an expansion/widening of
the drive leading up to the parcel. He said he received this info from the surveyor. I informed him that only what is
permitted by the County would be able to be built, as there are inspections by our Building Division during the course of
construction that would "catch" anything that went against the approved plans.
Of course a single-family dwelling is permitted and any further dwellings would only be permitted if the parcel has the
requisite number of remaining development rights to allow additional dwellings. I can't speak to his concern but thought
I'd bring it up in case there are plans to do something like that in the future.

I have attached a sketch that I have for the floor plan. As I mentioned before it will be in a digital format in a week or 10
days. My hope is this or possibly an improved version will be sufficient for review purposes. The framing will be 2x4 16"
on center standard framing. The interior walls do not provide any structural support to the yurt. There will be some
unfinished storage above the bedroom in the loft area. Please let me know what other information you need and I will

Gotcha. I will also say that a concerned neighbor dropped by our office having heard that more than one (I believe 3 was
the number he stated) of these yurts were planned to be built and that there was going to be an expansion/widening of
the drive leading up to the parcel. He said he received this info from the surveyor. I informed him that only what is
permitted by the County would be able to be built, as there are inspections by our Building Division during the course of
construction that would "catch" anything that went against the approved plans.
Of course a single-family dwelling is permitted and any further dwellings would only be permitted if the parcel has the
requisite number of remaining development rights to allow additional dwellings. I can't speak to his concern but thought
I'd bring it up in case there are plans to do something like that in the future.
Thanks Chris and I'll look for those plans (they can be handed in at our office or e-mailed to me as well).

Chris,
Something which I had overlooked was brought to my attention regarding the building permit for this dwelling. The
proposed location would require disturbing critical slopes which, in turn, requires obtaining a special exception.
However, being that there exists a 30,000+sq.ft buildable area outside of areas of critical slopes, an exception would not
be granted. Therefore, the proposed location of the dwelling needs to be revised to be on a building site that does not
require traversing/disturbing areas of critical slopes. This information was provided to representatives handling a
subdivision plat (application number SUB2019-89) for this property in the form of a comment letter by planning staff
handling this pending application, which I understand, has been deferred.
The comment above is the only comment that needs to be addressed prior to the revir
However, as I mentioned to you on the phone earlier today 1 wanted to bring to your
other significant items that will be part of this review so that you can discuss them w
moving forward. These do not need to be addressed at this time, but they would have

• The layout and the design of the road needs to be revised so that it complies
submittal and approval of a special exception for the impact to the Critical Sl
required. As discussed on the phone, because there is a 30,000 sf building si
require disturbance of the critical slopes (bottom right corner of "New Parcel

parcel, accessible without crossing the critical slopes, has a sufficient buildin

• Although the existing private street was previously approved by the County (

Are you able to get with the owner to provide me with a sketch of a revised location for the proposed dwelling?

Attached is the revised driveway shown without any critical slope disturbance. I have had the topography field
measured by Roudabush, Gale & Associates, Inc. and this more accurate topography is shown on the site plan with the
actual critical slopes shaded. The location of the proposed structure and other specifics have not changed. Also, it

Chris,
Something which I had overlooked was brought to my attention regarding the building permit for this dwelling. The
proposed location would require disturbing critical slopes which, in turn, requires obtaining a special exception.
However, being that there exists a 30,000+sq.ft buildable area outside of areas of critical slopes, an exception would not
be granted. Therefore, the proposed location of the dwelling needs to be revised to be on a building site that does not
require traversing/disturbing areas of critical slopes. This information was provided to representatives handling a
subdivision plat (application number SUB2019-89) for this property in the form of a comment letter by planning staff
handling this pending application, which I understand, has been deferred.

Gotcha. I will also say that a concerned neighbor dropped by our office having heard that more than one (I believe 3 was
the number he stated) of these yurts were planned to be built and that there was going to be an expansion/widening of
the drive leading up to the parcel. He said he received this info from the surveyor. I informed him that only what is
permitted by the County would be able to be built, as there are inspections by our Building Division during the course of
construction that would "catch" anything that went against the approved plans.
Of course a single-family dwelling is permitted and any further dwellings would only be permitted if the parcel has the
requisite number of remaining development rights to allow additional dwellings. I can't speak to his concern but thought
I'd bring it up in case there are plans to do something like that in the future.

Subject: RE: [FWD: Questions Concerning TM69, Parcel #48C]
Mr. Hayes,
77
In May of 2019, a subdivision application for TMP 69-48C, zoned RA, Rural Areas, was submitted to Community
Development for review. The application shows two lots with a new private street to serve the two lots. There is an
existing private street that exists on TMP 69-48C3 (the Freeman property) that was created back in 1987 with the 40'
access easement, which was revised in 1992, but that plat does not appear to have been approved by the County; both
plats can be seen in the attachments. The current plat proposes to extend the private street to serve the new
lots. Being that there was an existing private street that was created with a family subdivision (1987 plat) and the
private street now will serve three lots that are not a family subdivision then the Planning Commission must approve the
street that serves the three lots. There is also an issue with the location of the proposed street, specifically that the
proposed street appears to disturb critical slopes as shown as the brown area on the parcel shown on this linked map
TMP 69-48C. Disturbing critical slopes for a street needs a special exception granted by the Board of Supervisors
(BOS). The applicant has asked that review and action on the application be deferred, and that deferral will end in
December of 2019. The planner reviewing the proposed subdivision is Paty Saytenye. Here is a link to the comments
provided to the applicant in June. Any questions regarding the subdivision may be directed to Paty.
According to Section 33.47 of Section 33 of the Zoning Ordinance, a public hearing for the special exception is not
required. The BOS may decide to hold a public hearing and if they do they may ask that adjacent property owners are
given notice even though according to C it may still not be required for that particular special exception.
Sec.33.47 Public hearings; when required; notice.
Public hearings on an application for a special exception are required as follows:
A. When public hearings are required. The Commission and the Board of Supervisors shall each hold at least one
public hearing on any application for a special exception that would increase by greater than 50 percent the bulk
or height of an existing or proposed building within one-half mile of an adjoining locality.
B. When the Board of Supervises may elect to haiv the Commission make a recommendation on the application
and to hold one or more public hearings. When public hearings are not required under subsection (A), the
Board may elect, either by policy or for an individual application, to have the Commission first make a
recommendation on the application for a special exception and for either the Commission or itself to hold one or
more public hearings.
C. Notice of public hearings. When public hearings are required under subsection (A), the Department of
Community Development shall provide notice of the public hearings before the Commission and the Board
pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-2204(C).
Here are my answers to your four questions;
1. We do have an application for a building permit to build a single-family dwelling. This permit has yet to be
issued. Right now only one single-family dwelling may be permitted to be built on TMP 69-48C with an
approved building permit. If the proposed division is approved and recorded, then one dwelling may also be
built on the second parcel. As noted above, there are still some hurdles that the applicant must get over for the
division to get approved for recordation; this may or may not happen.
2. Other than a commercial stable or a Class A country store, there are no by -right uses in the Rural Areas zoning
district that are truly considered commercial. A farm, may look and act commercially but is considered
agriculture and is a primary use. Any use that may be considered commercial is only permitted as accessory to a
primary use. An example would be a single-family dwelling, permitted as a primary use, and the owner of the
property lives in the dwelling may have a home office or other business as an accessory use as long as they get
the appropriate zoning approvals for the home business AKA a Home Occupation.
3. As noted above, the County has a building permit for anew single-family dwelling on the property that has yet
to be approved for issuance. It does appear that the structure is being called a yurt. For the yurtto be a
78
dwelling, the structure must meet all of the applicable building code regulations and zoning regulations for an
approved location, which will include a primary and reserve septic drainfield.
4. 1 am not aware of a variance to allow the structure not to meet the building code. The building permit
application does appear to show the driveway to the location of the proposed dwelling to cross the critical
slopes. As noted above the applicant will need to have the BOS grant a special exception to disturb the critical
slopes even for the driveway for the one dwelling they are proposing with the building permit or propose the
building to be in a location that does not require the disturbance of the critical slopes.
I am not aware of a size limitation for a dwelling. That is not something the County would have been able to place as a
restriction on the property.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello Mr. Benish and Mr. Voboda:
I wasn't sure who would be in better position to answer a few questions a resident has over the
status of the above property development. This past Friday, a concerned citizen who lives along
Dick Woods Road, stopped by my office to express questions over the development of the above
property. To date he stated that he has received mixed responses from the County when
compared to that of surveyors/land owner out on the property. Jeremy and Sheila Freeman have
lived at 8268 Dick Woods Road (69-48C3) for 40 years. After not receiving a return call from
Community Development or a response to a letter he subsequently sent to Community
Development on June 27, 2019, they have grown concerned about what is being built on the
79
property adjacent to theirs and whether it will conform to the existing use of surrounding
properties.
He has asked me to help him get the answers to a few questions that he has about the
development. I told him that the letter he sent may have not been properly received and that I'm
sure there is a reason for any miscommunication. According to him, there is a newer vineyard
and a wedding events barn that has contributed to an increase in traffic to the area. The adjacent
property will share an access easement with the Freeman property and it appears that the
easement will be widened to accommodate the new development. Because he has not received
confirmation that the construction will be a single family residence, he is concerned that the
property will be used in a way that does not share the same zoning as the homes in the
immediate area. More specifically, surveyors on the property appeared to indicate that the owner
intended to place 3 yurts on the property and have a business component to it. The property was
on the market for a considerable amount of time and being longtime residents of this area, they
are worried that their property values in the area will be affected if the lot will have yurts on it
and if short term rentals will be involved.
Having said the above, I told him that it is very likely that his questions can easily be addressed,
regardless of what may or may take place on the property. I further explained that if a variance
is being sought, there is a procedure that is followed that usually will allow any concerns to be
voiced if a non -conforming use may potentially affect the surrounding residents. Will you please
answer the following (Or let me know if I can schedule a date/time to speak with someone in
Community Development or Zoning):
1. Is TM 69, Parcel #48C going to be used for long term, single family residence?
2. Is the property going to be used for a commercial purpose?
3. Is there any truth to the claim that 3 yurts are going to be placed on the property?
4. If yurts are going to be used, is the owner going to seek a variance and will the
public be permitted to express their concerns?
According to Mr. Freeman, the site is approved for only a 900 sq. ft. home, making this home
substantially smaller than existing homes. Please confirm if the property is being developed in
accordance with currently zoning requirements and this will end Mr. Freeman's inquiry. If on the
other hand, a zoning variance is being sought, Mr. Freeman would like to know that the County
will permit homeowners to express their concerns prior to any approval.
Thank you for your time and any insight you can offer on the above. Please let me know if have
any questions or require additional information. I can be reached direct on my cell at (434) 882-

Subject: RE: [FWD: Questions Concerning TM69, Parcel #48C]
Mr. Hayes,
In May of 2019, a subdivision application for TMP 69-48C, zoned RA, Rural Areas, was submitted to Community
Development for review. The application shows two lots with a new private street to serve the two lots. There is an
existing private street that exists on TMP 69-48C3 (the Freeman property) that was created back in 1987 with the 40'
access easement, which was revised in 1992, but that plat does not appear to have been approved by the County; both
plats can be seen in the attachments. The current plat proposes to extend the private street to serve the new
lots. Being that there was an existing private street that was created with a family subdivision (1987 plat) and the
private street now will serve three lots that are not a family subdivision then the Planning Commission must approve the
street that serves the three lots. There is also an issue with the location of the proposed street, specifically that the
proposed street appears to disturb critical slopes as shown as the brown area on the parcel shown on this linked map
82
TMP 69-48C. Disturbing critical slopes for a street needs a special exception granted by the Board of Supervisors
(BOS). The applicant has asked that review and action on the application be deferred, and that deferral will end in
December of 2019. The planner reviewing the proposed subdivision is Paty Saytenye. Here is a link to the comments
provided to the applicant in June. Any questions regarding the subdivision may be directed to Paty.
According to Section 33.47 of Section 33 of the Zoning Ordinance, a public hearing for the special exception is not
required. The BOS may decide to hold a public hearing and if they do they may ask that adjacent property owners are
given notice even though according to C it may still not be required for that particular special exception.
Sec.33.47 Public hearings; when required; notice.
Public hearings on an application for a special exception are required as follows:
A. When public hearings are required. The Commission and the Board of Supervisors shall each hold at least one
public hearing on any application for a special exception that would increase by greater than 50 percent the bulk
or height of an existing or proposed building within one-half mile of an adjoining locality.
B. When the Board of Supervisors may elect to haiv the Commission make a recommendation on the application
and to hold one or more public hearings. When public hearings are not required under subsection (A), the
Board may elect, either by policy or for an individual application, to have the Commission first make a
recommendation on the application for a special exception and for either the Commission or itself to hold one or
more public hearings.
C. Notice ofpublic hearings. When public hearings are required under subsection (A), the Department of
Community Development shall provide notice of the public hearings before the Commission and the Board
pursuant to Virginia Code 5 15.2-2204(C).
Here are my answers to your four questions;
1. We do have an application for a building permit to build a single-family dwelling. This permit has yet to be
issued. Right now only one single-family dwelling may be permitted to be built on TMP 69-48C with an
approved building permit. If the proposed division is approved and recorded, then one dwelling may also be
built on the second parcel. As noted above, there are still some hurdles that the applicant must get over for the
division to get approved for recordation; this may or may not happen.
2. Other than a commercial stable or a Class A country store, there are no by -right uses in the Rural Areas zoning
district that are truly considered commercial. A farm, may look and act commercially but is considered
agriculture and is a primary use. Any use that may be considered commercial is only permitted as accessory to a
primary use. An example would be a single-family dwelling, permitted as a primary use, and the owner of the
property lives in the dwelling may have a home office or other business as an accessory use as long as they get
the appropriate zoning approvals for the home business AKA a Home Occupation.
3. As noted above, the County has a building permit for a new single-family dwelling on the property that has yet
to be approved for issuance. It does appear that the structure is being called a yurt. For the yurtto be a
dwelling, the structure must meet all of the applicable building code regulations and zoning regulations for an
approved location, which will include a primary and reserve septic drainfield.
4. I am not aware of a variance to allow the structure not to meet the building code. The building permit
application does appear to show the driveway to the location of the proposed dwelling to cross the critical
slopes. As noted above the applicant will need to have the BOS grant a special exception to disturb the critical
slopes even for the driveway for the one dwelling they are proposing with the building permit or propose the
building to be in a location that does not require the disturbance of the critical slopes.
I am not aware of a size limitation for a dwelling. That is not something the County would have been able to place as a
restriction on the property.

Sorry for not being available earlier.
I just conferred with Bill Fritz and he said that we can defer it, based upon your request below, for up to 6 months from

It must be resubmitted, with the required additional fee (as stated in the incompleteness letter), on or before that 6
months deadline or the submission will automatically be withdrawn for inactivity.

Jeff,
Sorry for not being available earlier.
I just conferred with Bill Fritz and he said that we can defer it, based upon your request below, for up to 6 months from
today.
It must be resubmitted, with the required additional fee (as stated in the incompleteness letter), on or before that 6
months deadline or the submission will automatically be withdrawn for inactivity.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

J eff,
Please look at the incompleteness letter.
As stated, the only thing "incomplete" is the fee.
That is all you have to do before the deadline.
However, as we discussed, you also have to ensure that the owner wants to move forward.
The letter goes on to state other issues that came to light in looking at the initial submission.
If the owner wants to move forward, despite those red flags, then 1) let me know they want to and 2) submit the
additional fee.
Once the additional fee has been paid the 1" round of comments will be based upon the plat you already submitted.
If you are also able to submit a revised plat by the date specified, then the 1" round comments will be on the revised
plat. But as state above, this is not necessary.

Paty,
I am kind of in a time crunch and I am trying to figure out when I actually have to have the plat back in. The letter is
dated June 7th, and 15 calendar days would be June 22"", 15 business days would be June 27". If you could please clarify
my drop dead due date I would certainly appreciate it.
