Sycamore Square Correction

November 17, 2006 |

It was brought to my attention that my previous post regarding Sycamore Square contained an error on my part. I wrote the post with the information that Sycamore Square was a “cluster subdivision” as prescribed by Fluvanna County. This is not correct. In fact, it would appear that Sycamore Square is actually planned according to the ordinances for R-3 development. While these ordinances require similar lot restrictions and open space, they are not the same as the cluster subdivision requirements, which apply to subdivisions built in areas zoned A-1 by the county. I apologize for the error.
The fact remains that Sycamore Square is unlike any subdivision built in Fluvanna County since the construction of Lake Monticello. It will be quite interesting to track its development in the future.

    Thanks for publishing the correction regarding Sycamore Square which, as you stated in your correction, is not cluster development. R-3 is a mixed-use zone, which does not have an open land formula as cluster zones do. This one will have 13-1/2 acres of commercial, appropriate to support the community; the rest will be 111 single family homes. There is also a requirement for recreational amenities.

    The area currently under development is permitted for 100,000 square feet of commercial space.

    There have been no ‘cluster’ areas developed since the ordinances were revised to provide for them, in 2003.
