Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning and Community Development DATE: June 25, 1992 RE: Request To Amend ACSA Service Areas To Provide Public Water (Limited Service For One Single Family House) To Tax Map 60A, Parcel 9-4 The subject property is currently designated for water only to existing structures (house, tool sheds) . The applicant, Benjamin H. Word, Jr. , proposes to subdivide the parcel and build a second house. Dr. Word has received a variance from the minimum lot size requirement for the new parcel. The subdivision is on hold awaiting a decision regarding the provision of water. A new building site exists with a primary and secondary drainfield, but the existing well would have to be discontinued due to its location next to the proposed drainfields. Another well site is available on the parcel, but would require running a water line from the well under the Virginia Power high tension lines to the house. In lieu of this, Dr. Word requests public water for the new house. Public water is available to the existing house on this property. This property was designated for water only (unlimited service) prior to downzoning to Rural Area and subsequent jurisdictional area changes in 1980. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN This property is located in the Rural Areas as designated by the Comprehensive Plan and within the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir watershed. Regarding provision of public 1 Albemarle County Board of Supervisors Page 2 June 25, 1992 utilities, the Comprehensive Plan is intentionally specific in objective and strategies as to where and under what circumstances public utilities should be made available (p. 146) : OBJECTIVE: Provide public water and sewer services to the Urban Area and Communities. STRATEGIES o Follow the boundaries of the designated Growth Areas in delineating jurisdictional areas. o Only allow changes in jurisdictional areas outside of designated Growth Area boundaries in cases where the property is: (1) adjacent to existing lines; and (2) public health or safety is endangered. There are no identified quality or quantity problems with water on this property. Further, the Comprehensive Plan warns that "such utilities are not to be extended to the Rural Areas as these services can increase development pressures" (p. 146) . RECOMMENDATION This request is inconsistent with Comprehensive Plan objective and applicable strategies for provision of public water and sewer service. Public utility capacities should be reserved to support development of designated growth areas. Allowance for expanded water service to this property would be inconsistent with past actions by the Board to limit utility service outside the designated growth areas, particularly in a water supply watershed. Staff recommends that expanded public water service not be made available to this property. Should the Board choose to approve the applicant ' s request, service should be limited to one additional dwelling on Tax Map 60A, Parcel 9-4 . VWC/jcw cc: Bill Brent 2 — LBEMARLE COUNTY • .

Public Hearing: To consider an amendment to the projects areas of the Albemarle County Service Authority to include six parcels (Tax Map 60A, Parcels 09-6A, 09 6B, 09-6C , 09-5, 09-6 and 09-7) located off of Georgetown Road in the water service only area (Advertised in the Daily Progress on November 6 , 1984 . ) Mr. Donnelly presented the staff' s report : "Request : Several property owners have filed a petition requesting to amend the project areas map of the Albemarle County Service Authority to include water service to Parcels 09-6A, 09-6B, 09-6C, 09-5, 09-6 , and 09-7, Tax Map 60A. Zoning and Current Utility Service : The properties in question are currently zoned RA, Rural Areas, and are located within the South Fork Rivanna River Watershed. Lot sizes consist of: Lot Acreage 07=TA 0 . 25 09-6B 0. 27 09-6C 0 . 33 09-5 1. 433 09-6 0. 40 09-7 0 . 50 All lots, with the exception of lot 09-6, which is vacant , are currently developed for residential purposes and utilize wells for water supply . Recommendation: Staff recommends the amendment of the Service Authority' s water boundaries to include the six lots within the 'Water to Existing Structures ' service area. " . Following the staff report, Mr. Tucker explained, using a map, the location of the properties . He said the Board decided a couple of years ago that if the property was not exactly contiguous to a water line, or if there was no existing dwelling on the prop- erty being served by water, such properties would be removed from the service area boundaries for the water service . Mr. Tucker said that left some "islands" like the Gibson property (the current petitioners ) , surrounded by the service area yet not served by public water. Mr. Tucker said the Gibsons presently use wells and in one instance a single well serves two dwellings . He said the families are concerned about their future water supply and the sal- ability of their homes . Mr. Lindstrom asked if all the lots have houses and was told that all do except one . In pointing out the exact location, Mr. Tucker noted that the properties are down a lane behind a new duplex unit located directly on Georgetown Road. Mr. Fisher asked he i' a duplex could be Constructed or p1'c., erty toned aA and Wil6 told a special use permit has been approved by the Board some months ago. Mr. Fisher then opened the public hearing. Mr. Carl Gibson came before the Board and said he has lived on Georgetown Road for some thirty years beside his brother. He said the well for their house supplies three houses and i fairly expensive to keep up . He said the families would like to connect to the public water supply . Several couplings are already present on the property . He said it would only be a matter of a hundred feet or so from the existing waterline to the property . He added that the nature of a well is such that, with the additional development, it could go bad and leave the families with no water supply at all. After hearing Mr. Gibson' s comments, Mr. Fisher closed the public hearing since no one else was present to speak for or against the petition. Mr . Lindstrom said he has had trouble._approving .extending waterlines in �the watershed are however- ,: in this case, with the location of these parcels , and the fact that all the surroun ing land is basically developed, inclusion will not have any influence on the size of the lots or the number of dwelling units that can be built . With those considerations , Mr.LLindstrom moved to approve the request to include the above noted six parcels in the "water only" projec areas of the Albemarle County Service Authority. Mr. Way seconded the motion, which passed with the following recorded vote : AYES: Messrs . Bowie, Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Way. NAYS: None . ABSENT: Mrs . Cooke . Agenda Item No . 11 . Request from Mrs . Blanche Steppe to include a parcel on the S.P.C .A. Road (Route 649 ) in the water service area of the Albemarle County Service Authority. A letter from Mrs. Blanche Steppe, dated October 29, 1984, addressed to the Board of Supervisors, had been received requesting that her lot, 'known as Parcel 29A, Tax Map 45, be included for water service . Mrs . Steppe noted that she had purchased her parcel of land on Woodburn Road in November of 1979 . At that time, the subdivision plat put to record showed that "Parcel A to be served by public water. " Mrs . Steppe said she obtained a building permit in December 1983 and it was not until after house framing was constructed that she found that her parcel had been removed from the A.S .C .A. ' s service areas . Mrs . Steppe now requests approval to have her parcel put back in the water service area, as she wants to move into the house within the next four weeks . Mr. Fisher asked if the request today is just to set a public hearing. Mr. Tucker said the Board can take action on this request today without an advertised public hearing. He said the area involved is less than 40, 000 square feet so could not be seen on the large-scale service area map . He recommended that the Board take action today . V V V November 14, 1984 (Regular Day Meeting) Mr. Donnelly presented the following staff report : "Request : To include Parcel 29A, Tax Map 45, located on Route 649 (S .P.C .A. Road) in the Water Service Area of the Albemarle County Service Authority . Current Zoning: RA, Rural Areas . Acreage : 40, 896 square feet or . 94 acre . Parcel History: The Albemarle County Planning Commission approved the plat for this parcel July 17, 1979, subject to the provision of public water. At that time, this property was included within the jursidictional (service) area of the Albemarle County Service Authority for both water and sewer service. Although sewer connections were not available, the service area included both sides of Route 649. This parcel was zoned R-2 Residential at that time. Subsequently, the Board of Supervisors adopted a new zoning ordinance (December 10, 1980) and a corresponding rezoning of the entire County . The Steppe property was rezoned from R-2 to RA. On September 10, 1980, the Albemarle County Service Authority service areas for water and sewer were altered to exclude properties which drained into the watershed impoundment area, a primary objective of the then-proposed zoning ordinance . Under the Board of Supervisors' direction, in October 1983, the Albemarle County Service Authority service areas were further amended to include parcels with existing structures which were contiguous to waterlines to provide for future connections . Parcels vacant at that time were not included within the proposed service areas . The Steppe property was vacant at that time . Recommendation: This (0 . 94 acre) parcel is a non-conforming parcel in the RA district . It does not meet the minimum area requirements for a private well and septic system (at least 60,000 square feet required) . Although ordinances and regulations have changed, this lot was required to have a public water connection at the time of approval by the Plan- ning Commission and a subsequent building permit was issued contingent upon this condition. Additionally, all adjacent properties on the western side of Route 649 are designated for water service by the Albemarle County Service Authority. Due to its size and history, staff regards this parcel as a hardship and recommends inclusion in the service areas for public water. " Mr. Fisher opened the public hearing. Mrs . Blanche Steppe said the main thing about the petition is that she was issued a build- ing permit and was never told that her property had been taken off of the water map . She said she kept getting the runaround from the Water Service Authority and only found out the first of October that she had to come before the Board. She said her house lacks only a little more work inside before she can move in. Mr. Fisher asked if the house was based on a building permit which requires that public water be available . Mrs . Steppe said that is correct . Mr. Lindstrom asked if she has been given a certificate of occupancy, and was told that the house is not yet complete. She said she did not find out that the property was not on the water map until long after the building permit had been issued. Mr. Lindstrom said he hoped that problems of this kind can be elimi- nated after the land use procedures study he had proposed at the November 7 meeting with the Planning Commission. Mrs . Steppe said she had gotten no notification of the changes in the water service area. Mr. Bowie said he felt the Board should apologize for the misinformation Mrs . Steppe had received. He said he felt the petition should be approved. With no one else present to speak for or against the petition, Mr. Fisher closed the 1 public hearing. Mr. Tucker, asked by Mr. Fisher for his reaction to Mrs . Steppe ' s comments, said the I issuance of the building permit was a mistake on the part of the County. Mrs . Steppe should have been notified and the building permit held until the matter could be cleared up . Mr. Lindstrom made motion to approve the request to include the Steppe property (Parcel 29A, Tax Map 45) in the Water Service area of the Albemarle County Service Authority. Mr. Way seconded the motion, which passed with the following recorded vote : AYES: Messrs . Bowie, Fisher, Henley, Lindstrom and Way. NAYS : None . ABSENT: Mrs . Cooke. Agenda Item No. 12 . Public Hearing: Establish a Central Absentee Voter Election District in the Albemarle County Office Building, Charlottesville, Virginia. (Notice of this public hearing was published in the Daily Progress on October 20 and November 6, 1984 . ) Mr. Tucker said the Board adopted this ordinance as an emergency measure last month, and this hearing will make the ordinance permanent . STAFF PERSON: Amelia M. Patterson PUBLIC HEARING: November 14 , 1989 STAFF REPORT - VA 89-88 OWNER/APPLICANT: Benjamin H. Word, Jr. TAX MAP/PARCEL: 60A-9-4 ZONING: RA-Rural Area ACREAGE: 3 .84 LOCATION: On the west side of Rt. 656 (Georgetown Road) , just south of Old Forge Road. REQUEST: The applicant requests relief from Section 10.4 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance, which states: "Minimum lot size 2 . 0 acres . . . " The applicant requests a variance to reduce the minimum lot size of one (1) lot to 1.84 acres, a variance of 0. 16 acres. This property is proposed for subdivision into two (2) lots. It is presently improved with one (1) single family dwelling. At the time of adoption of this zoning ordinance, the property consisted of the required acreage. In August of 1982, the Virginia Department of Transportation condemned 0. 18 acres. By this act, the property acreage was reduced below the minimum 4 . 0 acres necessary for construction of a second dwelling and/or subdivision into two lots. This created a hardship for the owner, who had future plans for development, and was compensated for the land and not for the loss of a right to build or subdivide. RECOMMENDATION A subdivision plat has not yet been prepared and reviewed. This situation of dedication to public use affecting the developability of property is not uncommon. This case differs from VA-89-48, Cora Kirby, who by virtue of dedication of land, did not have any reasonable use of her property without variance. However, there are several relevant points to consider: 1. The applicant was not compensated for the loss of one (1) development right; therefore, the condemnation imposed some hardship; 2 . Surrounding lots (Hessian Hills) are developed with a 0.7 acre average lot size; therefore, the proposed lot size is not out of character with the area; Page 2 Staff Report - VA 89-88 3 . The property had sufficient acreage at the date of adoption of the zoning ordinance. 4 . To reduce the non-conformity of the resulting lots, the applicant proposes one (1) lot to meet the minimum lot area and only one (1) to require variance. If the Board of Zoning Appeals should chose to approve this request for cause, staff would advise that a distinction be made from cases in which the hardship is a diminution in value, most appropriately compensated at time of dedication. ,i rd a Elizabeth A Word Property L ) within '. .: ih 0 Way of State Route 656 , Locc obout 0.3 Mi.
