20th Addition to the EXPIRATION DATE OF
DISTRICT: APPLICANTS: Charles A. and June Padgett, Jr. PARCEL ID#: 7837-58-7123-000 10 acres 7837-47-8877-0 00 12.46 acres LOCATION:
The subject parcels are located on the south side of Route 616, CURRENT ZONING: RA (Rural Agriculture) SURROUNDING ZONING: North: RA South: RA East: RA West: RA MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Cedar Run STAFF PLANNER: Holly Meade BACKGROUND: The
Southern Fauquier Agricultural and Forestal District was originally
created in 1982 and was last renewed by the Board of Supervisors effective
The applicants have requested the addition of approximately 22.46 acres to the District. Copies of the application and parcel map are included in your package. The
application states this parcel is part of a working cattle farm that is
rented to other farms. These
two parcels are contiguous to and under the same ownership as a ten acre
parcel currently enrolled in the Southern Fauquier Agricultural and
Forestal District. STAFF REVIEW: Review of the parcels indicate the site is open with gently rolling terrain. The majority of the soil types consist of prime pasture land and secondary crop land. The subject property was discovered to have the following soil types: · 10A – Very deep, somewhat poorly drained, yellowish brown loamy soils with high water tables in concave landscapes, along small drainageways and on alluvial fans; developed in recent colluvium/alluvium washed from basic and acidic rocks; may have hydric soil inclusions · 13B – Very deep, moderately well to somewhat poorly drained, strong brown loamy soils in drainageways; developed in alluvium and colluvium from adjacent uplands · 34B – Very deep, well drained, yellowish-red clayey soils on summits and gently sloping backslopes; developed in residuum from sericite, biotite schists and meta-monzanite granite · 34C – Very deep, well drained, yellowish-red clayey soils on strongly sloping backslopes; developed in residuum from sericite, biotite schists and meta monzanite granite · 35C – Very deep, well drained, red clayey soils strongly sloping backslopes in dissected uplands; developed in residuum from sericite schist, phyllonite, and phyllite The
proposed addition to the Southern Fauquier Agricultural and Forestal
District is contingent upon a Board of Supervisors’ policy that was
adopted on AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Agricultural and Forestal Advisory Committee voted to forward this application to the Planning Commission for consideration at a public hearing without a recommendation. The Planning Commission asked staff to research how the Padgett’s owned a 10 acre parcel currently enrolled in the Southern Fauquier Agricultural and Forestal District. After examination of the 1997 records of the 2nd renewal of the Southern Fauquier Agricultural and Forestal District, staff discovered that the Padgett’s 10 acre parcel ( PIN 7837-58-9815-000) was formally owned by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Thorpe, Jr. The Thorpe’s owned three parcels, totaling 30 acres, enrolled in the Southern Fauquier Agricultural and Forestal District. The Padgett's purchased the above mentioned 10 acre parcel from the Thorpes in February 2002. The parcel did not have the condition placed on its inclusion in the Agricultural and Forestal District, as many parcels under 25 acres do today, that if it were sold it would be removed from the District. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the owner’s request to add approximately 22.46 acres to the Southern Fauquier Agricultural and Forestal District since these two parcels are contiguous to and under the same ownership as the ten acre parcel currently enrolled in the District. The following also applies to this request: · Review of the natural features of this parcel indicates that there are significant resources which are worthy of protection and would enhance the District, and · The parcel meets the criteria for evaluating the factors for inclusion into the District as required by Section 15.2-4306 of the Code of Virginia, and Staff recommends that the Planning Commission place the following condition on their recommendation of approval: · If any of the parcels are subdivided, boundary adjusted, or sold then the parcels shall be removed from the District.
