RE: SUB2015-194 Greenloft Farm (Lots 1 thru 16 and Preservation Tract A)
To Commission Members:
As an agent for the property owners, Wright 104,LLC, and in accordance with Section 14-232 and in
accordance with Section 14-234.0 of the Albemarle County Subdivision Ordinance, I am requesting
the approval of a Private Street to serve the proposed Greenloft Farm, a Rural Preservation
Subdivision.
We are requesting approval of a Private Street for the following reasons:
1. To alleviate a clearly demonstrable certainty of significant degradation to the environment,
the property, and the land adjacent thereto, resulting from the construction of a (stub out) Public
Street, from the cul-de-sac of Proposed Greenloft Lane to the property line of Tax Map 101 Parcel
1B, as is required by VDOT if the subdivision is served by a Public Street.
2. This stub-out (327 feet long) would require clearing of vegetation; grading of the roadway,
shoulders, and ditches; and placing pavement (impervious surface) that may or may not be used
for years or at all.
3. This stub-out would increase stromwater run-off due to the impervious area (6,540 sq. ft. of
pavement), shoulder and ditches, without providing any immediate benefit or possibly without any
future benefit.
4. This stub-out would encourage further development in the rural area of the county that we believe
has been discouraged since the rezoning of rural Albemarle County on December 10th, 1980.
The requested Private Street meets all of the requirements of Section 14-234.C.
The total environmental impact will be less with the approval of a Private Street to serve this
subdivision due to not being required to construct a stub-out from the cul-de-sac to the adjacent
property.
Respectfully,
;e/W/1/17°
