Ritz, Secretary Chesterfield County Planning Commission ~ ~P~?r """'" - December 30, 1974 (B.S.) CASE NUMBER: 74S184 APPLICANT: James C. Hardin REQUEST: A Variance to build a dwelling on a parcel of land which fronts along a 50 ft. wide proposed road. This road has been dedicated to the County. PROPOSED USE: The applicant plans to build a dwelling on this parcel for he and his family to live in. TAX MAP IDENTIFICATION: Dale Magisterial District; Tax Map Sec. 110 (1) Parcel 55 (Sheet 29). GENERAL LOCATION: Th~s parcel lies approximately 880 ft. off the south line of Beach Road, measured from a point 250 ft. west of the intersection of Beach Road and Qualla Road. ACREAGE (SUBJECT PARCEL): 5 acres. EXISTING ZONING: Agricultural -(A) EXISTING LAND USE (SUBJECT PARCEL): This parcel is vacant and wooded. ADJACENT AND AREA, ZONING AND LAND USE: Adjacent property is zoned Agricul- tural (A) and is either vacant and wooded or occupied by a single family dwelling. UTILITIES: The Health Department reports this parcel is suitable for installation of a septic tank and drainfield system, and an individual well. DRAINAGE AND EROSION: This request will have no effect on off-site drainage or land erosion. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: The proposed road which this parcel fronts along, and which provides ingress and egress to Beach Road, is unimproved. The road is graveled, however, it is not adequately ditched, washes out in spots, and has many pot holes. GENERAL PLAN: The General Plan indicates that this parcel lies in an area designated for Agricultural use. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff reviewed the application and finds that the applicant purchased this parcel from Inez Strange in April 1974. Staff determined that this parcel was created from ?arcel 45, and is one of thirteen (13) subdivisions of Parcel 45. This parcel and six (6) of the other 13 subdivision of Parcel 45, have no public road frontage. The County has already grtnted Variances to building dwellings on three of the 13 parcels which have no public road frontage. The last Variance was granted to Mr. Carson G. Bosher at the August 14, 1974 Board of Supervisors meeting. At this meeting it was resolved that in the future no new Variances would be granted on Parcel 45, or any of its subdivisons, and that the property owner, Inez Strange, be so notified. Staff sent Mrs. strange a certified letter advising (over) "'-" - her of the Boards resolution; copy of letter attached. Staff visited the site and determined that the 50 ft. wide proposed road has been cut through, but is inadequately graded and ditched. Also, the road surface does not appear to provide a satisfactory means for ingress and egress to Beach Road. THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMENDS DENIAL OF THIS REQUEST AND SUGGESTS THAT THE APPLICANT AND MRS. STRANGE PRESENT A TENTATIVE PLAN AND OBTAIN PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL FOR SUBDIVISION. 2 ,ILROAD 11621 1l6!I 1170143-6 11111 uTtI ' 43-4 "\ I I I I I I I \ / 11101 w 37 2Pll- 35 1,301 ',13/7 ..
