RE: SUB201500009 — Shirley Kyger — Waiver
Mr. Ray:
The Subdivision Agent hereby grants approval of your waiver request from Chapter 14, Section 404(A) of the
Subdivision Ordinance for the proposed Lot 1, as shown on Exhibit A and Exhibit B of your application.
In granting this waiver, the Agent finds that installing a single point of access would substantially impact
environmental resources as well as features existing on the property prior to October 14, 2009, as described in
Section 404(D)(2)(i) and Section 404(D)(2)(ii). The Agent also finds that an entrance required under Section
404(A) would lack adequate separation from the entrance to Link Evans Lane. As a result, strict adherence to the
requirements of this section would result in significant degradation of the site and inhibit orderly development of
the area.
If you have any questions about this approval, please contact me at 434 - 296 -5832, ext. 3270 or

J.T. Newberry

RE: Waiver of Section 14 -404.A (T.M. 31 -59)
Dear Mr. Newberry:
Land Surveyors
Land Planners
December 31, 2014
On behalf of the property owner, and in accordance with Section 14 -203.1 & 14.404.D of the
Subdivision Ordinance, I am requesting a waiver of the strict requirement of Section 14- 404.A, that
requires access to the building site from only one street, shared driveway, or alley established at the
same time of the original subdivision, and shall have no immediate access onto any other public
street. The waiver would allow access to the garage attached to the house on Lot 1, by way of the
existing paved driveway that is located on the east side of the house, without any grading.
Requiring both lots to use the same access would not be practical for the following reasons.
1. The construction of a new driveway on Lot 1 would require removal of trees and vegetation.
2. Grading and paving of a new driveway to connect to the existing garage on Lot 1 would disturb
critical slopes and create unnecessary soil erosion, water quality, and storm water runoff.
According to the Albemarle County GIS data, the existing dwelling was built in 1959. We contacted
the Health Department and they do not have a record of the septic drainfield. We realize that Health
Department approval is needed for septic drainfields for each parcel prior to subdivision approval.
Dennis Seale of VDOT has visited the site and approved the existing entrance and the joint
access as having adequate sight distance.
Please find attached Exhibit A (including the aerial photography) and Exhibit B, each dated
December 31, 2014.
Both Exhibits show the existing house and driveway, and areas of disturbance, including critical
slopes, to construct a new driveway on Lot 1.
I believe situations like this are the reason for allowing a waiver of Section 14 -404.A and we are
looking forward to your approval of this request.
If you need additional information or have any questions concerning this request, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully,
Roger W. Ray, LS
