TO: The Albemarle County Boeu d of Supervisors
The Albemarle County Planning Commission
PETITION TO DENY
Request ZMA - 77 - 12 (Jarman Gap Estates)
We the undersigned property owners of Albemarle County
wish to be heard in opposition to Request No. ZMA - 77 - 12
for rezoning of 32. 34 acres of A-1 agricultural land to R-1
residential (Parcel 64 Tax Map 55; North side of Route 691
and Northeast side of Route 684 ; Di miles west of the Community
Center of Crozet) . We oppose this request for one or more of
the following reasons, and ask that this application be denied:
(1) The change , if allowed, would be non-conforming to the
1971 Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan proposed for
revision in April , 1977 , in the following ways:
a) . The parcel is completely surrounded by A-1
agricultural property and would be spot zoning
if allowed.
b) . The parcel is more than 1 mile from the Community
Center of Crozet, would constitute leap-frog
urban development and violate planning efforts to
achieve compactness and the filling in of internal
open areas.
c) . The parcel, if rezoned, would constitute strip or
ribbon development of roadside residential property
with a major fruit orchard on one side and open catt'
grazing land on the other. There are no parcels in
the vicinity with less than 3 . 5 acres.
d) . A number of driveways entering Route 691 from an
isolated residential development would not conform
with proposed minimum standards for pavement widths
of residential streets of 22 to 24 feet. Route 691
PETITION TO DENY
Request ZMA - 77 - 12
Page Two
in this area is less than 18 feet wide with no
shoulders and makes a blind intersection with
Route 684 at the corner of this parcel.
(2) The applicant purchased the parcel and started two acre
housing with the full knowledge that the previous owner
was denied the identical higher density rezoning request
in 1972 , both by the Planning Commission and the Board
of Supervisors . The two acre development was not opposed
then and is not opposed now.
The ends of the Zoning Ordinance , i .e. : the creation of an
economically healthy balance of land uses results in a convenient,
attractive and harmonious community. The denial of this application ,
ZMA - 77 - 12 , would result in the greatest good for the greatest
number of residents and would leave the applicant free to continue
his building on two acre sites.

Dear Mr. Tucker:
I am writing in reference to a request to rezone
32 . acres of A=i r`ayi icultura1 land to 1.=1 -residential on___.-
Route 691 , Jarman Gap Road, Crozet.
I would hope the Planning Commission would deny this
request on the basis that it is not conducive to good commun-
ity development.
About four months ago the owner applied to the Planning
Commission to develop this 32 acre property with 14 homes.
This request was approved and he proceeded with construction
on two homes on this basis.
The neighboring property owners did not protest at
that time even though we did not feel it was desirable as we
realized it was being developed in the legally allowed frame
work of A-1 zoning. Perhaps the owner felt that this lack of
protest at that time demonstrated community apathy and decided
to reapply with this petition for higher density. If this
was his reasoning, he completely misinterpreted the feelings
and concerns of the property owners in our area.
An identical request was made in 1972 to rezone to
R-1 on this property for a subdivision was denied by the
Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for many valid
reasons - narrow country road with no shoulders and existing
blind intersection, no water connections , questionable perculation
results for septic systems and the undesirable practice of spot
zoning. Nothing has changed in five years , just the passage of
time.
If you will study the plat of this property you will see
that it does not lend itself to a subdivision as it consists of
a long strip of road frontage with limited depth to the
property.
Sincerely, (1- 40"4..,

THE CHAIRMAN,

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA.
DEAR SIR:
WITH REGARD TO THE APPLICATION OF JAMES MAUPIN
(ZMA 77 12) INTERSECTION ROUTES 684 AND 691.
WE ARE OF OPINION ANY FURTHER RE-ZONING OF THIS
PROPERTY WOULD NOT BE DESIRABLE. EVEN WITH
THE PRESENTLY ENVISAGED 13 OR 14 LOTS , WE VIEW
WITH SOME CONCERN JUST HOW THIS WILL AFFECT US IN
THIS FARMING COMMUNITY. IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA,
YOU WILL BE AWARE IT IS SURROUNDED BY FARMING ACT-
TIVITIES THE PROPRIETORS OF WHICH ARE VIGILANT IN
THEIR DESIRE TO SEE THAT THE AREA REMAINS IN A
MORE OR LESS PASTORAL STATE, AND THAT THE VALUES
OF THEIR LANDS ARE MAINTAINED. TO FURTHER REDUCE THESE
PRESENTLY REGULATED TWO ACRE LOTS TO SOMETHING
UNDER AN ACRE WOULD, IN OUR OPINION, BE VERY UN-
WISE. IT IS TO BE HOPED, THEREFORE, THAT GOOD
JUDGMENT WILL GOVERN YOUR DELIBERATIONS , AND THE
REQUEST NOT BE GRANTED.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
• ,LB-f':dA LC COUNTY

Mr. Charles J. Mott
1730 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D. C. 20036
Dear Mr. Mott:
Regarding the concern expressed in your letter of June 14th, 1977
concerning the proposed entrances to Route 691, let me assure you that these
entrances will meet the minimum requirements for an entrance on to the State
Highway. The Department's policy concerning the construction and location of
entrances is very clear.
I can understand your concern expressed with the evening sun although
I do not believe the Highway Department policies will allow denial of an access
to the highway solely because an applicant wishes to enter a road which suffers
a_ problem such as the one mentioned in your letter for a few minutes of the day.
I believe the location of entrances to be ar intricate part of the de-
sign of a subdivision; therefore, the Department and County must look at the total
plan for the subdivision in order that the final product will be most suitable to
all.
For your information I believe the latest plan submitted proposes three
(3) entrances rather than the five (5) or six (6) which you mentioned. It is my
understanding that this plan has not come before the Planning Commission for a
public hearing. I believe the date set for the public hearing is available through
the County Planning Department.
If I can be of any further assistance, please advise.
Very truly yours,
D. S. Roosevelt

MEMO for Byron Coburn !Y I c; ' 17
FROM: Charles Mott '' " '
Reference is made to our telephone conversa i yesterday
regarding my concern for the 5-6 entrances proposed for
the James Maupin (builder) subdivision project to be con-
structed at the corner of State Routes 691 & 684 (Jarman
Gap Road) . These entrances are proposed to be off of
Jarman Gap Road.
It is my understanding that the highway department has
given a tentative approval based on sight distance etc.
My concern is the acute blind area a driver experiences
when driving west on Jarman Gap Road at sunset in the
evening. It is extremely dangerous and several serious
auto wracks have occurred on this stretch of road because
of the late evening sun. This is not only my concern,
but all others who travel Jarman Gap and experience the
severe safty hazard caused by the narrow road, humps in
the road, and the blinding caused by the setting sun.
I urge you and others to inspect this area personally,
talk with the folks who live in the area and drive the
Jarman Gap Road (especially Mr. Monty Wood on Jarman Gap
Road) .
Not only will these 5-6 entrances become a severe safty
hazard, if this proposal is approved and the entrances
become a reality, then others owning property along Jarman
Gap could have similiar developments and more entrances
which would compound the safty factor.
This entrance-exit question should be treated entirely
seperate from the approval or disapproval of the subdivision
plans.
A copy of my letter to the planning department is enclosed.
I understand that this letter was not read at the planning
commission hearing. Again, I urge you to check this
matter out thoroughly before gr nt�ing approval for these
"killing" entrances. �/
Sincerely, Charle
