COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, Room 227 Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 Phone (434) 296 -5832 Fax (434) 972 -4126 February 25, 2014 Gwen Lacy Roger Ray & Associates 1717 -1B Allied Street Charlottesville, Virginia 22903 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 Senior PlamWr Attachments: Exhibit 2, December 30, 2013 s N 2 E
