(Albemarle County Code Chapter 18 Section 3) REQUIRED ATTACHMENTS & OTHER INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED for THE APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED COMPLETE AND OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED LJ Nine (9) folded copies of any and all plans or additional information LlOne (1) copy of a recorded plat or boundary survey of the property requested for the variance.

Good faith acquisition and hardship not self-inflicted. The property interest for which the variance is being requested was acquired in good faith and any hardship was not created by the applicant for the variance. 2. No substantial detriment.

The condition or situation of the property is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of a general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance.

The Burchfiel's intend to screen in their existing patio for outdoor dining and entertaining. As the house is built, there is an existing brick patio on the rear side of the house that sits within the rear setback. It was the Burchfiel's original intent when building the house that they would 'finish' the patio by screening in a portion adjacent to their living area in order to provide protection from the sun. The Burchfiel's have presented the conceptual architectural plans (see attached plans) for the screen patio to the adjoining Old Trail Architectural Review Board and have received approval (see attached letter) for the size, location and architectural integrity of the proposal. The hardship is created by the unique combination of a very long and narrow piece of land (see attached foundation survey) which fronts along Half Mile Branch Road with a required 75' front setback in combination with the presence of significant mature hardwood trees running through the middle of the property. Preserving the exisitng grove of mature hardwood trees aligns with the stated goals and design standards outlined in Chapter 18, Section 10.3.3.2(f) "Development lots shall be so situated and arranged as to preserve historic and scenic settings deemed to be of importance to the general public and natural resource areas whether such features are on the parcel to be developed or adjacent to such parcel;... " of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The drip line of the existing trees can be seen just to the left of the driveway on the attached photograph. The roof line of the home can be seen in the top right corner of the page. Half Mile Branch Road runs between the two black board fences visible on the left side of the photograph. The rear property line against Old Trail Village aligns with the black board fence visible to the right of the driveway on the attached photograph. We appreciate your time in reviewing this case. Please do not hesitae to contact me with any questions and/or comments. Sincerely, Matthew Robertson, President The Stratford Companies, Inc.

The ordinance restricts the homeowner from properly covering the existing patio to provide shelter from the elements. ■ Granting the variance would alleviate a hardship due to either a physical condition relating to the property or due to improvements thereon at the time of the effective date of the ordinance (this date is 12/10/1980). The property's narrow (front/rear) shape along with established trees demand the existing house site; the variance would alleviate the hardship of house location/screened patio location. ■ The property was acquired in good faith, and any hardship was not created by the applicant for the variance. The hardship was created by the location of existing patio; determined by house location; determined by existing mature vegetation & lot shape. ■ Granting the variance will not be a substantial detriment to adjacent property and nearby properties in the proximity of that geographical area. The property backs up to a golf course & is not close to any existing structures, etc. The golf course has approved the proposed design (see attached letter in application). ■ The condition or situation of the property is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of a general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance. The situation of the property & house site within the property are not within 1,000'+/- of any other residences. ■ Granting the variance does not result in a use that is not otherwise permitted on the property or a change in the zoning classification of the property. The variance would allow standard usage of the property within the residential zoning category. ■ The relief or remedy sought by the variance application is not available through a special use permit or special exception authorized by this chapter when the application is filed. The special exception & special use permit options have been exhausted with the county (phone conversation) & this proposal does not fit within either scenario. - ;,� � ••r'.i•.. rC :'�— _ y, �..•arr�rV! �"ji`�'tr _?-."j� MA i! -r Y r r .ram 1 1 i- i ,, 1 st FLOOR acnl cvn• _ � _n EXISTING / PROPOSED 2 SCALE: 118• = 1'-0• w THE BURCHFIEL RENOVATION 801 HALF MILE BRANCH RD CROZET VA 22932 0 T H E STRATFORD C 0 M P A N I E S 61 SOUTH MAIN ST.
