Re: SP202200006 Crown Orchard Farm Worker Housing Action Letter
Dear Mr.Yancey,
sclark@albemarle.org
Telephone: (434) 296-5832 ext. 3249
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on October 25, 2022, recommended approval of the above -noted
petition by a vote of 5:0 with the conditions listed below:
1. Development of the use must be in general accord (as determined by the Director of Community Development, or the
Director's designee) with the conceptual plan entitled "Crown Orchard Covesville Seasonal Housing," prepared by
Coleman -Adams Construction, Inc., and last revised 07/22/22. To be in general accord with the plan, development must
reflect the following major elements:
a. Location of the farm -worker housing facility, access road, and parking area shown on the plan, and
b. The "Wooded Area To Remain" and "Area for Augmented Screen Plantings" shown on Sheet A102.
Minor modifications to the plan that do not conflict with that essential element maybe made to ensure compliance with
the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Any new outdoor lighting must be only full cut-off fixtures and shielded to reflect light away from all abutting properties.
3. The area designated as "Area for Augmented Screen Plantings" on Sheet A102 of the conceptual plan must be planted
with a mix of native deciduous and evergreen tree and shrub species in a naturalistic pattern. A planting plan must be
submitted with a Zoning Clearance for County approval. After issuance of the first building permit for the structures, the
plantings must be in place per the plan before the first Certificate of Occupancy for the structures, or a performance
bond may be posted to guarantee that the plantings will be planted by the next available planting season. Plant species
to be used must be listed in the brochure "Native Plants for Conservation, Restoration & Landscaping: Virginia Piedmont
Region," published by the Virginia Department of Conservation & Recreation. Planting densities must be a minimum of 3
large trees, 6 medium trees, and 7 shrubs per 100 linear feet of buffer. Large tree species must be a minimum of six feet
in height above ground at the time of planting.
Should you have any questions regarding the above -noted action, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Scott Clark
Natural Resources Manager
