Re: SP200900033 Coleman Morris Development Rights
Dear Mr. Morris—
Thank you for meeting with me on May 3, 2010 regarding your special use permit request.
At the meeting, we discussed the responses requested in my letter of February 4, 2010. Given the results of our
discussion and my communication with VDOT staff, it will no longer be necessary for you to submit a drawn plan to
accompany your application. The most recent VDOT comment is included below:
• The VDOT Permit Inspector reviewed this site yesterday and said they have adequate sight distance within
the existing row and they believe the plat is shown incorrectly. It appears that the curves shown are not
correct and the sight distance line does not actually fall outside of the pavement of the road.
However, please respond on the following matter in writing with your resubmission:
Your application states that "this lot will create a building area for myself or children or grandchildren."
Please explain further in writing in your response. Are you considering holding the additional lot for
yourself to sell? Or have you decided to only transfer it to family members? This will be an important
question for the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. As I mentioned at our meeting, requests
for additional lots to be sold are nearly always denied as being inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan
goals for the Rural Areas. Requests for family- division lots are more frequently approved. Any approval of
your application is very likely to include a condition requiring that the lot only be transferred to a family
member, and that it remain in the family for some period of years.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,
Scott Clark
