RE: SUB201400008 Three Springs LLC: 14 -404 Waiver request
Ms. Lacy:
You have submitted a request for waiver of the requirements for a single point of access for a possible division of the
above referenced parcel. This access regulation and waiver criteria are found in Chapter 14, Section 404 of the Albemarle
County Code.
In order to approve the waiver the following findings must be met:
In approving a waiver, the agent shall find that requiring the extension would not forward the purposes of
this chapter or otherwise serve the public interest; and granting the waiver would not be detrimental to the
public health, safety or welfare, to the orderly development of the area, to sound engineering practices,
and to the land adjacent thereto.
As a representative of the Agent, it is my opinion that the request meets the requirements for granting the waiver in
accordance with 14 -404 (D)(2)(i) which states that the construction of a single point of access would substantially impact
environmental resources. It is my opinion that using two accesses would be consistent with the orderly development of
the property. The single access location would require significant grading on the property; therefore, two access points are
consistent with sound engineering practices. No adverse impact on adjacent property is anticipated, and therefore the
waiver is granted with the following conditions:
1. Only Lots A and B on this property (as shown on Exhibit 2, dated 12/30/13) shall obtain access from Old
Ballard Farm Lane.
2. The proposed building site on Lot C shall remain in the general area as showing on Exhibit 2, dated 12/30/13.
If you have any questions or would like additional information please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Sarah D. B Id in
