Albemarle County Family Tries To Build A 19,500 Sq Ft

Home on Turner Mountain in vy (where I live).

The neighbors heard the numerous chainsaws buzzing away and called the Albemarle County zoning inspectors & Piedmont Environmental Council.

A STOP WORK order was issued.

Turner Mountain allows homeowners a one time 1.7 acre clearage and since 1 acre was already cleared for the present house, the county said no.

Apparently the homeowners had prior approval but this was found to be a clerical error.

The average Turner Mountain home is cedar-sided, unobtrusive and back to nature.

The owners offered to throw a neighborhood party and asked that bygones be bygones.
