Deirdre Clark Background The
applicant is seeking approval of a preliminary subdivision plat to divide
approximately 16.1 acres zoned R-1 into one (1) residential lot of ± 3.9 acres and a residue parcel of ±12.1 acres.
The existing lot has frontage on both Rogues Road (Route 602) and
Germantown Road (Route 649). This subdivision was previously approved by the
Planning Commission at its meeting on November 18, 1999, and by the Board
of Supervisors on December 6, 1999. The
final construction plans and final plat were approved, however, the
applicant did not record the final plat within the maximum time limit of
eighteen months as required by Section 10-8 of the Fauquier County
Subdivision Ordinance. Approval
was subject to the conditions listed in Attachment
1. No changes have
been made to the property or application that would impact the conditions
of the previous approval. Staff
and Agency Review Staff and appropriate referral agencies have
reviewed this request for conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, the
Zoning Ordinance and other relevant policies and regulations.
An analysis of these referrals and the actual comments from the
appropriate agencies are included as attachments to this report. Findings
It is staff’s evaluation that this application is
in substantial accordance with the applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions,
the Comprehensive Plan and other regulations.
Conditions of development as approved on November 18, 1999 remain.
These are documented in Attachment 1. Recommendation Staff
recommends that should the Planning Commission choose to forward this
application with a recommendation of approval, such approval should be

A. & Marion J. Ganteaume, Owners/Applicants If
it is the intent of the Fauquier County Planning Commission to recommend
approval of PP02-CR-09, Parcel I.D. # 7900-55-1980-000 to divide
approximately 16.1 acres zoned R-1 into one (1) residential lot of ±3.9
acres and a residue parcel of ±12.1 acres, staff recommends that such
approval requires conformance with the conditions of development cited
below: 1.
The County recommends that no below-grade basements be constructed
on soil mapping units 74B, 78A, 178A,
and 117B due to wetness unless the foundation drainage system of the
structure is designed by a Virginia Licensed Professional Engineer. 2.
Before a home is started, the builder needs to mark the
drainfield area off and not disturb it during construction. 3.
The County recommends that before road or home construction begins
in soil mapping units 77B and 77C, a
site-specific evaluation be conducted so that shallow
to bedrock areas are
identified. These areas may require blasting if deep cut or
excavation is done.” STAFF
