SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
Construction of a single-family dwelling unit requires approval of a land disturbing permit prior to issuance of a zoning/building permit for a home if more than 10,000 square feet is being disturbed.
An “Agreement In Lieu of a Plan” is a contract between the VESMP authority (the County) and the owner that specifies erosion and sediment control measures that must be implemented and maintained during the construction of a single-family residence.
Submission Requirements

FARM BUILDING OR STRUCTURE
Construction of a farm building or structure requires approval of a land disturbing permit prior to issuance of a zoning/building permit if more than 10,000 square feet is being disturbed.
An “Agreement In Lieu of a Plan” is a contract between the VESMP authority (the County) and the owner that specifies erosion and sediment control measures that must implemented and maintained during the construction of the farm building or structure. The “Agreement In Lieu” is only applicable where the construction of the farm building or structure will result in a total impervious cover percentage, including the impervious cover from the farm building or structure to be constructed, of less than 5% of the parcel of land. If the construction will result in a total impervious cover percentage that is or will be greater than or equal to 5% of the total parcel of land, an “Agreement In Lieu” is not applicable.
