RE: Solar Variance Request for the Greens at Collindale PUD
Dear Mitch;
This letter is a request for variance from Criterion A1.1.1, "Solar Orientation" for the Community Wide Criteria
on the All Development Criteria Chart of the "Land Development Guidance System" (LDGS) for the subject
project. The request is made due to hardship imposed by the configuration of the Property/Project Boundaries,
making it impossible to orient 65% of the residential lots of the project for solar access.
The long axis of the project site configuration is oriented north/south and the site is extremely narrow in the
east/west direction. It is therefore not possible to orient internal circulation in the east/west direction that is
required to provide the solar access orientation called for in this Criterion of the LDGS. As many lots as
possible (nine) have been oriented for solar access (approximately 26%).
We respectfully ask that you favorably consider our request on these hardship grounds. The project is not
possible without this variance as a single lot family subdivision as proposed.
Cordially,
Robert Sutter
