To be paid after staff review for public notice:
Most applications for Special Use Permits and Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission
and one public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that notice for public hearings be made by publishing
a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owners. Therefore,at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.

Waterperry Farm
After several years of welcoming visitors to our property and seeing their joyful
reactions as they meander through the gardens, we are asking permission to host a small
number of intimate weddings and charity events per year. 14 weddings, and 2 not-for-
profit fundraisers.
All events will have as a maximum 150 guests in number, though our preference
is for smaller events, which will better highlight the intimacy and romance of the gardens.
Our property is zoned rural, about 96 acres in size, with 25 of those acres in
woods and the remainder in pasture, mowed lawn and garden. The farms abutting and
surrounding us are also in mixed pasture and woodland, with many of them in land use.
We too are in land use, but there will be zero impact on our hayfields and timber woods
as the gatherings will only take place on mowed lawn areas and in the gardens. Though
we have not put our property under conservation easement, we are conservation-minded
and plan to uphold the integrity of this beautiful landscape. The venue area sits near the
middle of the property, with ample buffer on all sides.
There will be no amplified music at our events. We request brief use of
microphones during dinner toasts,typically given by the father of the bride,the best man,
and the maid of honor, but any dinner or reception music will be acoustic only, and will
fall well within county decibel limits. Should a prospective bride and groom desire
amplified music, we are teaming up with local event spaces on the downtown mall, and
will shuttle our guests after dinner for a downtown reception experience. It could well
become a new wedding model— from Country Chic to Urban Hip. In any case, acoustic
music here on the farm will end by 10:30 p.m., at which point everything will quickly
wind down with a final departure by 11:00.
In order to lessen impact on the road, decrease traffic, and minimize disruption to
our neighbors, we are requiring all guests, with the exception of the immediate wedding
party, vendors and staff, to be shuttled. This will also ensure the safety of residents and
guests on the roadways to and from town. We will notify all Ballards Mill residents by
U.S.P.S mail well ahead of every event, with dates and timelines specifying shuttle
arrivals and departures. In addition, on the day of the event, we will post the following
signs for people using the roads: first, at the Wesley Chapel/Ballards Mill intersection, to
indicate an event is taking place and to be alert for vehicles. Second, at the hazardous
upper end of Ballards Mill, to re-route any wedding party members or staff should they
approach that way to continue on Millington to Wesley Chapel where there will be
another sign directing them to Ballards Mill. We will also have a sign at the entrance to
the farm road for the shuttles, wedding party and staff. The field off the farm entrance is
large, but there is more than enough parking along the farm road for the relatively few
vehicles we expect.
From the shuttles, the guests will be led down a path of ribbon guides to a gate
into the garden. Both the ceremony and cocktails will take place during daylight hours.
At dusk and after dark, a mixture of landscape lighting and torches will provide ample
light on clearly designated paths: to and from the tent and restroom trailers and, at the end
of the evening, along a short walkway to where the shuttles will be waiting. In weather
conditions of serious drought or heavy rain, an adequate number of small, temporary
electric fixtures will replace the torches.
Our carriage house, which has two separate living areas divided by an archway,
will serve as dressing rooms for the bridal party and the groomsmen on the day of the
wedding. All food and beverages will be provided by caterers and prepared off site in
approved commercial kitchens. All utensils and dishware will be properly sanitized off
site as well.
It is our intention to hold elegant ceremonies and receptions here in the least
intrusive way; to share the serene and inspiring landscape we've created over the past
twenty-five years. Like our neighbors, we cherish the peace and quiet of the area, and
will do everything we can to ensure that, on those 16 days of the calendar year, things go
smoothly and with minimal disruption to Ballards Mill Road.
Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to getting started.
Sincerely,
Special Exception
We would like to request that the pool house, built in 2007-8, be granted usage as
a changing area for the groomsmen, in the event that the bride and her party, dressing in
rooms on one side of the carriage house, wish the groomsmen to be further away until the
ceremony.
Note: We are no longer asking for the other exceptions we'd requested in our first
submittal.
