“You’re not asking for a permit to approve the existing multi-family dwelling, and agreeing to use it as single family residence,” said Board member Sharon Luke. “It’s basically the same status as when you came in October of 1983 when you were asking for a multi-family permit." Baumgardner replied that that was essentially correct.

Baumgardner told the Board that Saltonstall has always preferred to use the dwellings as housing for one or two families of farm workers, and that she accepted the single family only restriction because she wanted to keep the same architectural design.

Baumgardner presented a statement to the Board from engineer Fanning Baumgardner based on a study which showed that the building site and the land surrounding the house on Lot F has a slope of less that 14 percent. The remainder of the land had a slope greater than 14 percent. To be deemed a conservation district, the predominant slope of the land has to exceed 14 percent. Lot F has 27 acres and Lot G has 26.

Walter A. Robinson, a real estate appraiser and land use consultant from Fauquier County, gave his opinion of the area involved and the buildings. Robinson presented pictures showing properties in the area of Saltonstall’s lots which have two or more dwellings on the property or which have one dwelling with two separate living areas.
