A Win for Home Owners Associations in VA General Assembly
|
|
Efforts by Virginia Community Association Institute lobbyist and email/calling campaign by HOAs across the Commonwealth killed Senate Bill 1096 proposed changes to the home-based business legislation originally introduced in 2013. The original legislation permits home-based businesses unless they are prohibited or controlled by recorded covenants pertaining to the community. This bill sought to delete the ability of owners to prohibit or control licensed child care providers (day care), regardless of size, by recorded covenants limiting the use of a home to residential use or prohibiting commercial uses, effectively, disregarding these covenants a for home day care.
This legislation is likely to be re-introduced in the future and continuous monitoring is needed to uphold our Covenants and Restrictions.

On January 24, Tim Culpepper, manager of the Rivanna Village development (which was acquired by Robinson Development in November 2016) made a presentation to the Village of Rivanna Advisory Committee (VORAC). For the most part the new owner will develop this site based on the plan previously submitted by Andrew Boninti and approved by the County.
While the original site plan allowed for a maximum of 400 residential units, the density was reduced in 2014. Currently 330 to 350 units are planned. The entire parcel is to be developed in phases, with the full build-out anticipated in 5 to 7 years. Building of the entire infrastructure will be completed in 2.5 to 3 years. The site contractor, Haley Chisholm & Morris, is expected to begin site work this month, February 2017.

Phase 1 (97 units) site work plans are fully approved by the County, ACSA and VDOT and are ready for construction that will take 7 to 9 months. These units will be built along the entire length of Glenmore Way, as you exit making the turn on Glenmore Way. A setback of 70 feet will provide a wooded buffer along Glenmore Way.
Phase 2 site work, projected to commence in early 2018, is contingent on County review/approval schedule and on initial sales pace. This phase runs primarily along Route 250 east of Glenmore Way entrance and includes a secondary entrance. The secondary entrance is to be bonded prior to the recording of the Phase 1 plat.
About 2/3 of the entire parcel will be cleared with minimum burn-off of debris. Grading machinery will remain on site. The agreement includes a wash site to minimize road dirt and a construction traffic plan is in place. Construction of the water tower will be coordinated with the ACSA. An HOA for the development is planned.
