RE: Board of Zoning Appeals Action
VA-99-10—Tax Map 073, Parcel 31D
Dear Mr. Shearer:
This letter is to inform you that the Board of Zoning Appeals heard your variance application, VA-99-10,
on May 11, 1999. The Board unanimously (5:0) approved the variance subject to the following conditions
recommended by staff to minimize the visual effects and to insure that the tower stays within a treed area:
1. A tree conservation plan identifying all trees that have a diameter of six (6) inches or greater
(measured at six (6) inches above ground)within 75 feet of the proposed tower site shall be
prepared by the applicant and submitted with the building permit application for the tower. The
plan should note any trees to be removed to make space for the tower and its appurtenances,
including the driveway;
2. The cutting of trees within 75 feet of the tower shall be limited to dead trees and trees of less than
six (6) inches in diameter measured at six (6) inches above ground, except those trees identified
on the plan as necessary for the establishment of the tower; and
3. Removal of tree limbs of the remaining trees shown on the plan is prohibited unless
recommended by an arborist for the health of the tree or required by a public utility.
This variance approval grants relief from Section 10.4 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance to allow
a variance of 63 feet to allow a telecommunications facility to be 12 feet from the right-of-way of Route
708. The facility will consist of a 105-foot wooden pole, two 7-foot antennas, one equipment cabinet and
the appurtenant electrical and telephone items necessary for operations.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jan Sprinkle
Chief of Zoning Administration
