RE: Special Permit 92-11 Home Occupation Class B - Massage Therapy
(TM 56AI-01-46)
Dear Mr. and Ms. Tosto,
Your special permit received no written opposition, and the
required entrance and parking improvements are feasible without
off-site easements. Therefore, I hereby reverse my prior decision,
and will grant administrative approval after satisfactory
installation of the entrance and parking area.
Approval of this permit is subject to compliance with the following
conditions:
1. V.D.O.T. approval of entrance.
This involves the following:
a. Closing the existing entrance (open area) in front of the
shed;
b. Installing a new entrance to the west of the existing shed
entrance, in such a location so as to obtain sight distance.
This entrance shall be 20 feet wide at the connection onto
Jarman's Gap Road. It shall continue a minimum of one car
length (18 feet) prior to turning. The surface of the
entrance and the driveway may be gravel.
The work within the highway riqht-of-way requires an entrance
permit from the V.D.O.T. The minimum acceptable specifications are
subject to their discretion.

2. County zoning Department approval of the provision of adequate
parking.
This involves the following:
a. The provision of a total of 3-4 parking spaces. This is to
accommodate the residence (2 spaces) and the business (1-2);
b. Installing a driveway from the new entrance to the parking
area. The parking spaces should be a minimum of 10 feet wide
and 16 feet long, with sufficient area to turn around. The
surface may be gravel, and they should be marked with
landscape timbers or the like.
You may recall from our field visit with Mr. Kesterson of V.D.O.T.,
that you have at least two options ln the design of these
facilities. One would be tighter, and would provide parking up
near the road by the shed. The other would create a new driveway
to the rear of the shed and house. Once you settle on which you
will pursue, you should submit a sketch for our approval as part of
your file.
Once the sketch is approved, and your entrance permit obtained, you
may begin the necessary work. Once the work is complete and #1 is
inspected by V.D.O.T. and #2 by the Zoning Department, you will
have approval of the special permit. This will be signified by our
approval signature to a zoning clearance. This is necessary prior
to opening the business.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your patience on this matter.
Sincerely,
