Cheryl - As you know, the Special Exception for the critical slope waiver will go before the Board of
Supervisors as a Consent Agenda item on Wednesday, May 7a' (day meeting). In drafting the Executive
Summary that goes to the BOS, I discovered that the county engineer who reviewed the critical slope waiver
request failed to realize that a submitted and approved erosion control plan is part of the waiver (see yellow
highlight below).
I have spoken with my supervisor, David Benish, and he agrees this will not keep the Special Exception from
going to the BOS as scheduled; however, I will not be able to give my final approval to the site plan until the
erosion control plan has been submitted and approved. I have attached the application form. Should you have
any questions regarding that submission /review process, you should contact the county engineer, Max Greene,
directly. He can be reached at 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3283 or m rg eene(aalbemarle.org.
Please let me know when you have submitted your erosion control application, so that I can track it in our
system.
4.2.5 MODIFICATION OR WAIVER
Any requirement of section 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3 or 4.2.4 may be modified or waived as provided herein:
b. Waiver by the agent. In accordance with the procedures stated in section 2.5 of this chapter, the agent may waive the prohibition of
disturbing critical slopes on any parcel not within the Rural Areas (RA), Monticello Historic District (MHD) or Village Residential
(VR) zoning districts in the following circumstances: (i) the critical slopes were created during the development of the property
pursuant to a site plan approved by the county; or (ii) the critical slopes will be disturbed to replace an existing structure located on the
critical slopes and the extent of the disturbance is the minimum necessary to replace the existing structure with a new structure whose
footprint does not exceed the footprint of the existing structure. The agent may grant a waiver if he or she finds that:
1. The property is not identified in the open space plan as one having any protected resources and a field inspection has confirmed that
there are no significant or critical features on the property identified for protection in the open space plan;
2. There is no reasonable alternative that would eliminate or reduce the disturbance of critical slopes;
3. The developer or subdivider submitted and obtained approval from the program authority of an erosion and sediment control plan,
regardless of whether the area disturbed is less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet; and
4. The developer or subdivider submitted and obtained approval from the county engineer of a plan that describes how the movement
of soil and rock, stormwater runoff, siltation of natural and man -made bodies of water, the loss of aesthetic resources identified in the
open space element of the comprehensive plan and, in the event of the failure of a treatment works and subsurface drainfield, a greater
travel distance of septic effluent, will be mitigated through design, construction techniques, revegetation, stormwater management and
other best management practices.
