Summary

The planning commission recommended forwarding to the Board of Supervisors a Category 26 special exception allowing roughly 9 acres to transfer from the Manaker parcel to the Dady parcel, reducing the Manaker parcel’s noncommon open-space requirement to about 42.4% with no new lots or development proposed.

The Fauquier County Planning Commission recommended the Board of Supervisors approve a Category 26 special exception to transfer roughly 9 acres between two parcels (Manaker and Dady) off Atoka Road, which would reduce the noncommon open-space requirement on the Manaker parcel to about 42.4%.

Cara Marshall said the two parcels total just over 83 acres (the Manaker parcel about 44.5 acres and the Dady parcel just under 39 acres). She explained the history: a 1997 Board of Supervisors action reduced a noncommon open-space requirement that allowed the creation of the two lots; in 1999 the property was subdivided creating the Manaker and Dady lots, and the noncommon open-space requirement was triggered for the Manaker property but the easement was never recorded. The applicants now request a transfer of roughly 9 acres from Mr. Manaker to Ms. Dady with no new lots or development proposed.

Marshall said the Manaker parcel would be placed under a noncommon open-space easement and the Dady parcel could be placed under a similar easement or consolidated in the future with an adjacent parcel already under a Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) easement. Jim Carson, speaking for the applicant, said he had nothing further to add.

Commissioners moved and seconded a recommendation to forward SPEX 25024788 with the revised potential conditions to the Board of Supervisors for approval; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The Board of Supervisors will review the easement recording and any final conditions.
