Code variation and reason for the variation request
I recently submitted an application (ZMA2016-8) rezone the 0.897 acre property TMP 056A1-
01-00-11800 from R2 to R4.
The purpose of the rezoning application is to increase the density of TMP 056A1-01-00-11800
to support the relocation/preservation of the 1700's log cabin that was located at 6183
Rockfish Gap Tpk, Crozet, VA-- as the owners of the cabin (F&R Engineering) needed to make
room for commercial expansion of their business, and the cabin was in the way.
Given the historic nature of the cabin, representatives from the Crozet community, the Historic
Preservation committee, F&R, and other parties desired to relocate the cabin within Crozet,
and supported the idea of relocating it behind the existing property at 1278 Crozet Avenue - as
the property is located in the Historic District, and is ideally situated for the project.
See Figure 1—proposed cabin location and subdivision.
In order to accommodate this plan, the property requires rezoning to R4 since the current R2
density is not sufficient to support a separate dwelling.
That application (ZMA2016-8) is under consideration.
However, in connection with the rezoning application, we would require a waiver to CHAPTER
18 "ZONING SECTION" 4.2.1" and "4.2.2 b 1" of the Albemarle County Code in order to
subdivide the property should the rezoning application be approved.
Specifically, of CHAPTER 18 "Section 4.2.1 Building Site Required" states that "No lot other than
a special lot shall have less than one (1) building site".
Therefore, each lot must have a building site.
The specifications of that building site are defined in Section 4.2.2 b 1 "4.2.2 BUILDING SITE
AREA AND DIMENSIONS" for "uses served by a central sewage system" as follows:
I. Residential development.Each building site in a residential development shall have adequate area for all
dwelling unit(s)together with an area equivalent to the sum of the applicable required yard areas for the
applicable zoning district and, if parking is provided in bays,the parking area.
The issue with the proposed subdivision shown in Figure 1 is that the proposed composition of
resulting subdivided lots would have a significant area "within a stream buffer under chapter 17
of the Code."
See Figure 2 —stream buffer overlay.
In fact, pretty much the entirety of the proposed lot where the existing house sits is in the
stream buffer, and a large portion of the second lot in the rear of the existing lot is also covered
by the stream buffer.
While the stream buffer does not prevent the relocation of the cabin, as the reconstruction has
been approved/permitted by the County as an accessory structure and satisfies the stream buffer
setbacks and the existing house is properly permitted; the surveyor has indicated to me that
because the stream buffer area is so large on both of the proposed lots,that the building site
requirement defined in 4.2.2 b 1 can not be met. He is also concerned that while the lots conform
to the minimum sizes and setbacks, that they could be considered irregular.
Section 4.2.1b(ii), copied below, provides a means for the board of supervisors to waive the
approved building site requirement if the site has an unusual size, topography, shape or if the
development is in a stream buffer. Specifically:
a) Special exception.Notwithstanding section 4.2.5,any requirement of section 4.2.1(a)may be waived or
modified by special exception under section 33.5 upon the board of supervisors' consideration of whether
(i)the parcel has an unusual size,topography, shape, location or other unusual physical condition;or(ii)
development in a stream buffer on the parcel was authorized as provided in section 17-321 of the Code.
I ask that the County provide such a waiver to Chapter 18 sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, and
determines that the proposed subdivision shown in Figure 2 is an acceptable shape as defined
in the subdivision ordinance.

Public need or benefit:
CROZET MASTER PLAN 2010
Crozet will continue to encourage a sense of community through its history
Crozet is and will continue to be a small town with a "small town feel." It
will have distinct neighborhoods, a historic downtown area, and industries
that support the County, state, and nation.
Neighborhood Density: This designation represents residential areas with a
desired density of 3— 6 residential units per acre.
new or infill development will be appropriate in scale and type to these
existing growth patterns.
This rezoning proposal is consistent with - and advances - the "History," "sense of
community," and "small town feel" aspects of the Crozet Master Plan as follows:
Both the current property, and the planned cabin relocation are significant
historical structures in Crozet. Both add wonderfully to Crozet's community as
well as Crozet's small town feel.
The 1278 property is currently undergoing period-correct restoration to its 1800's
farmhouse-style structure (see Figure 3). I've been told that is the oldest framed
home in Crozet, having been moved twice before relocating to 1278 Crozet Ave
around 1870. If it wasn't for my purchase, I am certain the house would have
been demolished.
The log cabin is believed to be one the oldest building in Crozet, if not the oldest,
dating to the revolutionary war.
The cabin is a historically significant building. In fact, the Virginia Department of
Historic Resources DHR uses a picture of the cabin on their historical resources
webpage / register as its example of Virginia Landmarks which should be
preserved. See the image below from the VA DHR website.
Saving this cabin is a publicly worthwhile endeavor— especially considering the
new development that is occurring in Crozet. The structure will be located in the
historic district— and what could be more historic than this? It is available for
people to see from the road (albeit, setback a bit— but still visible), but in full view
to the adjacent Greenhouse coffee shop. This adds tremendous charm and
warmth to the area — as it sits wonderfully in the meadow where the small stream
runs, and where the children in the neighborhood can safely play— as it is
protected from traffic.
This proposed lot is a beautiful location for an incredible piece of Crozet history. If
it wasn't for my purchase, I am certain the cabin would have been demolished.

it on, but for the splendid authenticity of its renovation"

I believe the Crozet community fully supports this project, as evidenced by the
significant positive feedback I have received since the Crozet Gazette published a
write-up on the cabin in June 2016; the support from the historical society; and
the interest from the broader Charlottesville community (CBS has requested a
television story, but I put them on hold until the cabin starts going back up).
I have spoken with all but one of my neighbors, and everyone fully supports the
cabin relocation.

The Virginia Landmarks Register, also established in 1966
and managed by the Department of Historic Resources, is
the state's official list of properties important to Virginia's
history. The same criteria are used to evaluate resources
for inclusion in the state register as are used for the
National Register.

2. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
"Neighborhood Density: This designation represents residential areas with a
desired density of 3 — 6 residential units per acre.”— Crozet Master Plan 2010
The proposed rezoning falls within the density guidelines. The rezoning is
appropriate in size and scale to the adjacent properties as the surrounding
properties are single family homes, in a neighborhood /town setting adjacent to
the downtown crozet area. See pictures below, and lot sizes.
056A1-01-00-117: 0.33 acre, single family home
056A1-01-00-117A: 0.39 acre, single family home
056A1-01-00-119: 0.47 acre, single family home
056A1-01-00-109: 0.53 acre, single family home
056A1-01-00-109A: 0.42 acre, single family home

3. Impact on public facilities and public infrastructure
Not required under the application checklist.
4. Impacts on environmental features.
None that I can think of
No grading is required for this project.
No displacement of trees, vegetation is required.
The cabin itself is quite small — approximately 20'x25'
The location identified on the plat shown above has a very slight pitch, and is
currently grass.
The foundation will be VA field stone —which is local to the area.
5. Proposed proffers
Not required under the application checklist. None proposed beyond the
considerable expense of dismantling and restoring the cabin.
6. Maps showing the proposed projects regional context.
Please see the responses in 1 and 2 for maps of the area, and the cabin.
7. Conceptual plan
We propose the following plan, 25' road frontage to Crozet Avenue (rt 810).
The building envelope proposed is shown in blue.
The stream buffer is shown, as taken from the Albemarle County GIS site.
Note that the County as permitted the relocation of the cabin in the location shown
in Figure 1, and within the blue lines shown in the building envelope — and has
accepted the mitigation plan with respect to the small area in which the corner of
the cabin overlaid the 100' stream setback.
