EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AGENDA TITLE: AGENDA DATE: July 3, 2013
SUB201300067—Napier Subdivision
ACTION: INFORMATION:
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST:
Special Exception from Building Site Requirement under CONSENT AGENDA:
County Code § 18-4.2.1(b) ACTION: X INFORMATION:
STAFF CONTACT(S): ATTACHMENTS: Yes
Mr. Benish and Mr. Newberry
REVIEWED BY:
LEGAL REVIEW: No
BACKGROUND:
The applicant proposes to divide approximately 2 acres off of an 11.4 acre parcel known a Tax Map 109, Parcel 1A
(Attachment A). The parcel currently contains two dwellings that access the property from two different public roads
(Attachment B). The applicant lives at 5877 Broken Sun Road and his sister lives at 5771 Heards Mountain Road. The
parcel was granted to the applicant and his siblings in 1994 from their parents. Permitting this subdivision would allow the
applicant and his sister to each own a separate parcel. No new development is being proposed with this application.
County Code § 18-4.2.1(a) requires that each parcel have a building site, which may not contain, among other things, land
within a stream buffer established under the Water Protection Ordinance (County Code Chapter 17). The applicant is
requesting a special exception to waive that requirement.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 5: Ensure the health and safety of the community.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed subdivision cannot meet the requirement that each parcel created by the subdivision have a building site
with a minimum area of 30,000 square feet that does not contain, as relevant to this application, any land within a stream
buffer. A stream buffer bisects almost the entire property(Attachment B). This stream buffer did not exist in its current
form when the applicant's home was constructed in 2003. A Water Protection Ordinance amendment in 2008 expanded
the areas where the 100 foot buffer applies and this expansion created an unusual condition for this property. Following
the amendment, the buffer impacted approximately 75% of the parcel due to its topography and location. The other
dwelling on the property, constructed in 1930, also predates the expansion of the buffer areas.
County Code§ 18-4.2.1(b)authorizes the Board to waive or modify any requirement of County Code§ 18-4.2.1(a) by
special exception upon consideration of whether(i)the parcel has an unusual size,topography, shape, location or other
unusual physical condition; or(ii)development in a stream buffer on the parcel was authorized as provided in County
Code § 17-321.
Staff finds that the strict application of County Code § 18-4.2 would unreasonably restrict the proposed 2 acre property
and recommends approval of this request. Unde-current ordinance requirements, no future development on the parent
parcel or residue would be permitted without further waivers or modifications from the Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the special exception and waive the building site requirement in County Code
18-4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
