Real Estate Related NewsREALTORS® Raise Atlantic Coast Pipeline Property Rights Concerns
The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR) recently sent a letter to Governor Terry McAuliffe highlighting their property rights con-cerns with the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which will be constructed by Dominion Power and its partners. The project, which is currently under feder-al review, would transport natural gas about 550 miles from West Virginia to North Carolina – running through Nelson County.
Without taking a specific position on the project, CAAR raised consti-tutionality, restricted use of eminent domain, and landowner treatment including fair and equitable compen-sation as key issues that needed to be addressed throughout the siting and property acquisition process.
CAAR President Anita Dunbar said, “As the voice for real estate in Central Virginia, we believe strong property rights are inextricably linked to our economic stability and vitality. REAL-TORS® may have a variety of opinions on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project, but uniformly we believe that landown-er property rights must be respected.”
Roy Wheeler participates in the Home and Garden Show
Roy Wheeler Realty Company sponsored a booth at the Blue Ridge Home Builders Association Home and Garden Show. REALTORS® gave visi-
tors real estate tips both Saturday and Sunday. They also helped AHIP raise more than $6,000 over the course of the weekend. Congrats to Karen Mar-cus for winning the RWR Virginia shop gift basket. (Pictured with real-tor Alex Ix)

What’s Happening Around Town?ArtQuest Program Exhibit at CitySpace
Piedmont Council of the Arts (PCA) is proud to announce the ArtQuest Program Exhibit for the month of May. A program of Charlottesville City Schools, ArtQuest serves fifth through twelfth grade students iden-tified as gifted or talented in the visu-al arts. ArtQuest students participate in a range of differentiated learning experiences during regularly sched-uled art classes and weekly opportuni-ties in after-school art classes.
Exposure to a variety of activities in the arts allows students to discov-er and deepen their interests, develop their abilities, and demonstrate their gifts. These include a variety of short courses taught by artists in the com-munity and art teachers in the school division. Each semester, students re-ceive a list of after-school seminars and they register for sessions that are of interest and that fit their after-school schedules.
There will be a First Fridays opening reception from 5:30-7:00 p.m. on Fri-
day, May 1 at CitySpace (located at 100 5th NE on the Downtown Mall). This event is FREE and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
The exhibit will remain on display through May 28, 2015. There will also be an exhibit by local artist Lee Mor-rison on display inside the PCA office within CitySpace.
For more information about ArtQuest or the exhibit please contact Aaron Eichorst, Coordina-tor of Fine & Performing Arts for Charlottesville City Schools at [email protected] or 434 245 2671.
CitySpace is open to the public Mon-day-Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm. CitySpace is located at 100 5th Street NE on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville.
Spring Dance Gala featuring “The Doll Shop Ballet”
Albemarle Ballet Theatre (ABT) and the Studio for the Performing Arts (SFTPA) present their 11th Spring Dance Gala at PVCC’s Dickinson The-atre on Saturday, May 16 at 6:00 p.m. The gala opens with “The Doll Shop,” a playful a story about a little girl who discovers a German toy maker’s me-chanical dolls are alive. The show fin-ishes with classical and contemporary ballet, and a jumpin’ jivin’ jazzy version of “Sing, Sing, Sing.”
The Doll Shop begins with a fami-ly outing to a doll shop that leads to a late night adventure. The little girl thinks the one of a kind life-size dolls are alive, so she and her two mischie-vous brothers hide and spend the night to find out. You will be left wondering and laughing long after the show.
The Royal Ballet’s La Barre, restaged by Veronica Hart, is a stirring, dramat-ic classical ballet set to Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei, Adagio for Strings, Op 11.
Co-created by Jake Catlett and com-pany director Veronica Hart, concor-Dance contemporary presents their athletic and powerful pas de deux, An-
ima. Martha Collins poem Animal/An-ima was the source of inspiration for this driving and primal piece.
Benny Goodman’s Sing, Sing, Sing and Bob Fosse’s trademark dance style inspired Veronica Hart to create a dance that will have you jumping, jiv-ing, and wailing with ABT’s dancers.
Co-sponsors include Charlottesville Self Storage at Crozet, Crozet Lions Club, Morning Glory Gardeners and The Paramount. Proceeds from this production support SFTPA’s need-based scholarship program.
No need to look further for phe-nomenal, affordable live entertain-ment. At only $12 for adults and $9 for children, students, military, and se-niors, this 1-1/2 hour live show is more fulfilling than a meal at your favorite restaurant.
Tickets are available online at www.aballet.org/tickets, ABT’s studio in Crozet and PVCC on the day of the show. For more information, call 434-823-8888 or email [email protected]

As part of the festivities, Friday, May 15 is designated as Bike to Work Day. On Bike to Work Day, free refreshments will be provided to participants during their morning commute at Energizer Stations located at the Corner by the University of Virginia, sponsored by UBIKE and U.Va.

Want to participate in the fun of National Bike Month, but don’t own a bike? UBIKE is offering 25 percent off a one-month bike pass for National Bike Month. Start any day in May! Vis-it http://www.bikecharlottesville.org/bike-month-2015 and click on “Special Events” to obtain the promotional code.
The purpose of National Bike Month More is to encourage Charlottesville residents to hop on two wheels and have fun exploring the city while cre-ating a positive impact on their health and their wallet. More than two-thirds of the U.S. adult population is over-weight or obese and nearly one-third of U.S. children are overweight as well. Bi-cycling is an accessible means of physi-cal activity for all ages, and when used for travel to work or school, can seam-lessly incorporate exercise into daily life. Bicycling is affordable, too. The average operating expense of a bicycle is just $308 versus more than $8,000 for a car. The average American house-hold spends an entire three months’ pay on car transportation, according to a report by the League of American Bicyclists.
Sponsors of National Bike Month in Charlottesville include the City of Charlottesville, Bike Charlottesville, Community Bikes, University of Vir-ginia Parking & Transportation, BIKE UVA, UBIKE, and the League of Amer-ican Bicyclists.

When Norma Rafferty’s father passed away, it made sense for her and her husband, Bob, to have a modest apart-ment addition for her mother built onto
their home. A few calls showed neigh-borhood zoning and homeowner reg-ulations allowed it if various permits were granted. They hired an architect to design an addition to fit well with the existing house.
Then they got bids from three con-tractors (after checking with the Better Business Bureau) and hired a firm rec-ommended by friends at their church. The addition blended seamlessly with their house using the same style win-dows, siding, paint, and roofing.
Mom’s space was legally an “acces-sory apartment,” because although it connected to the house through the
living room, she also had a separate outdoor entrance, a bathroom, and a modest kitchen with a cooktop, micro-wave, small fridge, and an oven large enough to bake her famous choco-late chip cookies. The floor plan also included a separate bedroom with a good-sized closet and a living area with enough room to entertain friends.
The long-range plan was that once Mom no longer needed the apartment, Norma and Bob would use it as a rent-al unit to augment their retirement in-come. In the end, however, they opted to convert the space to a luxurious master bedroom suite for themselves complete with a sauna and a large hot tub.
Does An Extra Unit Increase Value?
Options for adding rental spaces vary from creating a full apartment to converting a walk-out basement or space over a garage into a mod-
est studio with a separate entrance, a bathroom with a small shower, and a kitchen sink with a microwave and mini-fridge.
“When people are considering whether to add a unit, either for a rel-ative or as long-term rental income, they ask me if it would add value to their property,” says REALTOR® Sara Greenfield, Principal Broker for Charlottesville Fine Homes and Prop-erties. “I have seen homes transformed and the owners get to use rental in-come to offset the expense of upgrad-ing and adding to the property.
“When you add a full bath and com-plete kitchen it definitely adds value to a home,” Greenfield continues, “but it’s not inexpensive. It generally en-tails finishing or adding space which often requires additional heating and air-conditioning. Plumbing and elec-trical work are another expense when
creating a kitchen, a bathroom, and perhaps space for a washer and dryer.”
Does A Rental Unit Help Or Hin-der The Sale Of A Property?
“I believe a separate living area helps sell a property,” says Jay Kalagher, a REALTOR® with Long & Foster in Charlottesville. “I find people who are house shopping don’t generally ask for properties with a rental, but when they see one with an extra property—whether new or a resale—they think it’s a good idea. They find uses for it and see a benefit to it because a rental unit can make great financial sense,”
Kalagher points out that this con-cept was very much a part of the planning for the new Belvedere sub-division in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. “Many of the Belvedere homes,” he explains, “are built with a garage. A ‘carriage house’ can be creat-

ed above the garage which can be used as extra living space for the family or as a rental property.”
He says in Belvedere’s first phase of 116 dwellings about 90 have this car-riage house capability. “About 60 or 70 of them were completed specifically as rentals,” he says.
Some Things To ConsiderBefore adding a rental unit, there
are things to consider carefully. Will there be a loss of privacy or unwelcome noise from people living so close? Do you have adequate parking space? Can you handle the responsibility when the unit’s toilet backs up at midnight, or the fridge fails the day before Thanks-giving? Will it be difficult to find ten-ants? Will your neighbors object?
And most important, what are lo-cal regulations, restrictions, and re-quirements?
What Are The Legalities For A Separate Unit?
If you are persuaded you want to do this, the next step is to check with your local zoning board, your neighbor-hood homeowner association and, for good will, your immediate neighbors. Whether it’s new construction or a conversion, you’ll need an architect or contractor who is qualified to draw up and submit plans to your local plan-
ning department to obtain a building permit and inspection schedule.
Craig Fabio, assistant zoning admin-istrator for the City of Charlottesville, notes that these units are termed “ac-cessory apartments,” whether interior as part of the existing dwelling or ex-terior in a separate building. “Espe-cially since 2009,” he says, “we’ve seen people go that road to maintain their homes which may have lost value. They may have also lost jobs and this extra income can make a lot of difference in being able to keep their home.”
Charlottesville itself has a number of zoning districts. Fabio says the ma-jority of the districts permit accessory apartments, although they may have differing restrictions on factors such as how many unrelated persons may share the space. “It’s a by-right use,” he says, “but you have to go through permitting, have a separate entrance, and meet building codes for exits and habitable space.”
He also points out that because dif-ferent jurisdictions can have very dif-ferent zoning and regulations in place, it’s essential to check the permitting requirements and process before begin-ning any construction or remodeling.
He says the city doesn’t really know how many accessory units there may be. “That’s just talking about the le-

gal ones,” he says. “We’re under the impression there are more that don’t have required permits,” he says. “They may have been around for forty years. When we find them, we review them to be sure they are a safe place for people to live.”
What Might Be The Tax Implications?
Keep impeccable financial records. If a family member will be using the space, you can still add the building expenses to your home’s basis. Check with your tax advisor in case the per-son could be claimed as a dependent.
If you will be renting out the space, it’s doubly important to keep an accu-rate record of your expenses which will often substantially offset the rental income on your tax return. Check IRS publication 527. You may be surprised at what you can claim. Construction and maintenance costs, and repairs to the rental premises are all expenses that can be deducted on Schedule E of your tax return.
Other expenses must be divided be-tween the rental part and the part you use—rather as if they were two sepa-rate properties. You can deduct part of certain expenses on a percentage basis including a portion of expenses such as utilities, home mortgage interest,
insurance premiums, and real estate property taxes on Schedule E.
Although setting up the bookkeep-ing can be complicated at first, after the first year it will be easier and off-set by that steady rental income or the peace of mind knowing a family mem-ber is cared for close at hand,
Creating The Second UnitRemember, things usually cost more
than expected, so draw up a basic bud-get of how much you can realistically afford. Calculate expenses such as ar-chitectural plans, plumbing, electrical work, a heat pump or other way to heat and cool, fixtures, cabinetry, applianc-es, carpeting, painting, even paving. A small laundry area with washer and dryer is a definite plus when seeking good renters.
Obtain bids from several contrac-tors and check their references care-fully. Talk with persons who have used them about the quality of the work, the accuracy of the estimate and bid, how disruptive were the workers on the job, and whether they finished on time.
If you are at all handy, you can prob-ably do much of the finishing work yourself. You may not be able to install a toilet or wire the ceiling for lights, but perhaps you can install kitchen and bathroom cabinets and flooring.
It’s likely you can do the interior paint-ing, install privacy blinds, and hook up appliances. Consider neutral colors in paint, tile, carpets, and floors.
Can you have a separate electrical meter installed? If not, you’ll need to calculate the portion of your electric bill used by your tenants. In any event, you’ll want to install the most energy-efficient appliances and lighting you can find.
Finding TenantsREALTOR® Kalagher says there is a
clearly established rental market in this area. “People post properties on Craig’s List and they are rented pretty quickly,” he says. “In fact, some Charlottesville lenders will factor in an anticipated rent from an established accessory unit when evaluating potential mortgages.”
Prospective tenants include UVa students and visiting faculty, young people, older persons who are downsiz-
ing, and others. Some property owners prefer to engage a rental management company to handle the legalities and midnight emergencies. Many local real estate firms have rental management departments. Fees can vary.
Becoming a landlord brings a new set of challenges starting with arriv-ing at an appropriate monthly rent that attracts tenants without leaving money on the table. This will depend on whether your offering is furnished, prices in your neighborhood, and your costs like taxes, insurance, utilities, mortgage payments, plus potential maintenance and repair.
Check out tenant candidates very carefully. Check their employment and credit reports, have a responsible co-signer for students, and contact for-mer landlords. Your rental agreement should include your duties as a land-lord, and the tenants’ responsibilities. Include terms about security deposit, late fees, and especially terms by which the lease may be broken by either par-ty. If unrelated parties are renting, have each individual sign the lease.
It’s important to plan carefully be-fore creating a rental property, but the financial rewards can be substantial. n

WALKING INTO A PAINT place with those thousands of little paint sample cards can be a daunting adven-ture. Choosing among dozens of shades of white—white!—is mindboggling. And there are hundreds more shades of actual colors with names that range from imaginative to exotic. Here are some things to consider.
First, select colors you can live with for several years unless you are one of those people who simply loves to paint. Whether you paint to compliment your carpet, your couch, or your cat, you probably have an idea of what you like.
Second, especially if you might be selling your home in the next few years, con-sider colors that are both popular and fairly neutral. Neutrals today have defi-nitely moved beyond white. In fact, even beige is becom-ing a bit passé.
Third, consider paint-ing one wall of a room in a bold tone while leaving the others a compli-mentary neutral—or a lighter shade of the same hue. This makes it far easier to change the personality of the room by redoing that single wall, either to an en-tirely different bold color or to a neutral to increase marketability of a property.
Finally, visit local model homes for live sightings of some of these colors. Trolling the websites of various paint manufacturers is also a wonderful way to find painting inspiration.
What’s Hot For 2015?Just as clothing designers develop
their individual “hot” color for a sea-son, paint manufacturers promote their own “color of the year.” Some manufacturers’ websites even allow you to visualize how your rooms would look with various colors when you up-load your own photos.
This year, for example, PPG Pitts-burgh Paints is spotlighting pleasant, vigorous “Blue Paisley” with various intensities and companion colors. You can visit their website, upload a pho-to of the room you want to paint and, with a little bit of computer manipu-lation, visualize it with various colors, even with different walls painted dif-ferent colors.
Kelly-Moore also highlights blue. They describe their “Coastal Surf” as a timeless, saturated hue, ideal for bring-ing color into the mid-decade home. It is part of a recommended trio which includes a rich teal called “Swagger” and a classic gray named “City Tower.” The website offers tips on selecting colors and a series of videos on tips for painting a room.
This year, Pantone is starring “Mar-sala” which is a cherry-chocolate-rose tone described as “a subtly seductive shade that draws us into its embracing warmth.” The website shows the rela-tionship between the fashion runway and color trends, offers many articles, and nearly endless colors.
The Sherman-Williams choice of the year, “Coral Reef,” is in the same
warm family of colors. It’s a strong lively coral with tones of pink, orange, and red. They suggest using it as an accent color or partnering it with “Sedate Grey” or “Hub-bard Squash.” Their website offers tips on color selection, how to paint, and coupons.
Rather than a bold tone, Benjamin Moore’s featured color is a pale grey-green tone titled “Guilford Green” that can also serve as a neu-tral. Their website offers painting ideas, how-to in-formation, and pictures of a variety of rooms from home offices to laundries to see various colors. Here again, users can upload photos of their own rooms and choose up to five surfaces to manip-ulate with color.
Remember, it’s always wise to buy the smallest pos-sible quantity of any color you choose and paint a large enough portion of your wall to really evaluate your choice by day and also with artifi-cial light.
Specialty PaintsSpecialty paints can add a new wrinkle
to your décor. For example, “chalk-board” paint comes in a wide range of
colors and can create an instant accent for
children’s rooms, hobby rooms, kitchens, laundries, or
even the garage.Magnetic paint holds small items,
but some users are disappointed it won’t support larger things. “Rare earth” magnets seem to work best. The best plan is to use a magnetic primer. The container must be very well shak-en (ten minutes in your local paint store’s power shaker or even longer at home by hand) and three coats of primer are needed. Once dry, it can be painted with any latex paint.
An alternative is to get a piece of galvanized steel (be sure it’s magnetic) and paint it any color you choose—per-haps a color of the year.
Finally, for a bit of fun, look for some glow-in-the-dark paint. Usually coming in spray cans, these paints can add whimsy, especially to children’s rooms, but also might be fun in a bath-room or even the garage. n
Glenn Pribus and his wife live near Charlottesville. After completing a sample section to be sure they liked the color, they re-cently painted their bathroom in a blue tone titled “Cincinnatian Hotel Ashley Atrium.”

(StatePoint) Year after year, Amer-icans from Tornado Alley to the Gulf Coast to the metropolises of the East-ern Seaboard witness storms that cause millions in damage and loss of life. However, no matter where you live, or what type of extreme weather you may face, there are things you can do to protect your home and family from the worst.
“When it comes to resilient design planning, the most important thing to remember is that it doesn’t have to break the bank. A few quick and easy adjustments can keep you safe,” says Greg Beste, member of the American Institute of Architects Disaster Assis-tance Committee and Project Man-agement Director, IVI Assessment Ser-vices, a CBRE Company.
Beste offers some storm season advice:
• Document your home — be-foredisasterstrikes. Grab your smartphone and take photos of your home now, inside and out, cov-ering the foundation and all interi-or and exterior spaces. At best, you’ll have a nice keepsake; at worst, a vi-sual documentation that can be used
for an insurance claim in case of di-saster. You can also share the images with your insurance company right away, to add to their files for future reference.
• Be an expert on your house.How old is your home? What type of framing does it have? When was the roof last repaired or replaced? These are questions you should know the answers to, as they will dictate what design changes should be made.
• Make fixes easy, inexpensiveand relevant. For example, are high winds a major worry where you live? Add an extra layer of protec-tion by swapping out the shingles on your roof for a heavier material, or secure the roof sheathing with a
more wind-resistant nailing pattern, using an extra box or two of nails. Know where your home is weakest; those spots are the first places to shore up in defense.
• Communicate your buildinggoals. If you’re working with an architect to build or retrofit your home, make sure that he or she un-derstands the importance of resil-iency. Even more importantly, your contractor should feel comfortable executing these goals. Communica-tion at every step is the key.
•Saferoomsarenotacauseforpanic.A safe room doesn’t have to be high-tech. With the right design and construction, your mud room, laundry area or even a powder room can be a safe haven in case of disas-ter.
• Design beyond code. Building codes are the minimum standard and in many cases, have not been updated to reflect the current real-ity. If you live in a particularly vul-nerable area, an architect can advise on additional measures to take -- for instance, in coastal areas, building a foot higher than the minimum flood zone would indicate is rec-ommended. Resources like www.architectfinder.aia.org can help you connect with the information and individuals you need.Don’t just wonder if you’ve done
enough to prepare for storm season. Take action to keep your home and family safe. n
