The owners
are seeking a waiver of Zoning Ordinance Section 7-302 1.C.,
Limitations, which would allow a right-of-way that is less
than fifty (50) feet in width. The subject property is
currently accessed by way of a thirty (30) foot wide
easement, which connects to Carriage Ford Road (Route 607)
in Prince William County. The subject property does not have
frontage on Carriage Ford Road. The existing easement runs
across an adjacent property, which does front on Carriage
Ford Road.
The subject
property consists of approximately 33 acres. The portion of
the property that is served by the existing easement is
located in Prince William County, and the remaining 12.16
acres are located in Fauquier County. The applicant is
proposing to divide the 12.16-acre portion into two (2)
lots, an administrative lot and a residue. The adjoining
property owner, on whose property the easement runs, will
not grant permission to widen the easement from thirty (30)
feet to fifty (50) feet. The fifty (50) feet is the required
easement width for an administrative division on a parcel
with no state road frontage. As proposed, the easement on
the subject property would be fifty (50) feet in width, but
the portion on the adjacent property (in Prince William
County) would remain thirty (30) feet in width and would
connect directly to Carriage Ford Road. Prior to approval of
the administrative division by Fauquier County, the plats
would need to be reviewed and approved by Prince William
County.
Attachments
1 and 2 provide location maps for the subject parcel in
relation to the county and Carriage Ford Road. Attachment 3
is the proposed division showing access to the lots. The
applicants’ Statement of Justification is included as
Attachment 4. The letter from the adjoining property owner
is included as Attachment 5. |
