Re: SUB201700181 St. Francis Avenue Subdivision
Request for Authorization of a Private Road
In accordance with Section 14,232 and 14.234 of the Subdivision Ordinance, please consider this request to authorize a
private street to serve a rural area subdivision. The private street will be an extension of an existing private street (St
Francis Avenue) and will serve as frontage for the subdivision of Tax Map 31 Parcel 7 into four new parcels. This
request for a private street is in conjunction with SUB 201700181 (St. Francis Avenue Subdivision).
The existing private road, St. Francis Avenue, was created in conjunction with SDP1989000093 (Earysville Animal
Hospital) and SUB198900252 (Richmond Diocese Admin. Plat). The recorded plat for the "Richmond Diocese Property"
contains note 1, "No further subdivision without Planning Commission approval." and lote 14, "All lots to enter and exit
onto private road."
Section 14-232 of the Subdivision Ordinance provides three circumstances that permit the Commission to authorize a
private street in the rural areas:
To alleviate significant degradation to the environment:
• The public road required would be 28% (261') longer than the private road requested.
• The public road required would be 57% (8') wider than the private road requested.
• A public road would require significantly more tree removal and grading when compared to the
private road requested (please see attached public and private road exhibits).
• The increased length of ditches required for a public road would require additional erosion control
and stormwater management facilities and maintenance requirements.
2. The lots will be used for non-residential or non-agricultural purposes:
• The existing private road serves the Earlysville Animal Hospital.
3. General welfare.
• As provided in the attached exhibit, public roads are required to extend to adjoining properties to
promote the development of road networks. In the attached exhibit, the public road is extended to
parcel 31-5A1 and a temporary cul-de-sac is provided at the property line. The future road connection
promotes the development of parcels 5A and 5A1, totaling approximately 20 acres. The development
of these rural area parcels is not consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
A private road would provide a road network that would serve only the lots proposed in accordance
with this request. In granting this private road request, the Commission would be dissuading the
development of adjoining rural areas.
Two additional factors should be weighed when considering this request for a private street authorization.
1. VDOT does not permit a new public road to be accessed solely from a private road. The existing St. Francis
Avenue would need to be abandoned to allow a new public road to access S.R. 743 (Eartysville Road).
2. The requested private road and it's associated right-of-way currently exist. This request is to extend the
existing private road and easement to allow the subdivision of parcel 31-7, which is already accessed from the
private road.
Thank you for your review and consideration of this request.
Respectfully,
Kelly Strickland
