RE: SP-03-42 Vintage Virginia Apples, LLC (Sign #49); Tax Map 87, Parcel 9
Dear Ms. Shelton:
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, at its meeting on September 10, 2003, by a vote of 6:0, approved the
above-noted request. Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. A Virginia Department of Transportation entrance permit for a private entrance shall be obtained
for this use;
2. Guardrails shall be installed to the satisfaction of the Department of Engineering and Public
Works on Rural Ridge Lane where it crosses the dam;
3. The applicant shall submit a revised sketch plan that:
a. Includes the following note: ''The total retail sales area in the farm sales structure shall
not exceed fifteen hundred (1,500) square feet. At all times, at least fifty (50) percent of the retail
sales area inside the farm sales structure shall be agricultural or horticultural produce or
merchandise produced on the premises. The remaining fifty (50) percent area may be companion
items that are not produced on the premises, but are intended to be used with the agricultural or
horticultural produce which is produced on the farm. Displays outside the farm sales structure shall
be limited to agricultural and horticultural produce only."
b. Clearly indicates the limits of the sales area.
4. Retail sales shall be conducted only within the sales area depicted on the revised sketch plan.
In the event that the use, structure or activity for which this special use permit is issued shall not be commenced
within twenty-four (24) months after the issuance of such permit, the same shall be deemed abandoned and the
authority granted thereunder shall thereupon terminate. For purposes of this section, the term "commenced" shall be
construed to include the commencement of construction of any structure necessary to the use of such permit within
two (2) years from the date of the issuance.
Before beginning this use, you must obtain a zoning clearance from the Zoning Department. Before the Zoning
Department will issue a clearance, you must comply with the conditions in this letter. For further information, please
call Jan Sprinkle at 296-5832.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above-noted action, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,
I
