REALTORS® 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 concerns with the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which will be constructed by Dominion Power and its partners. The project, which is currently under federal 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 constitutionality, restricted use of eminent domain, and landowner treatment including fair and equitable compensation 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. REALTORS® may have a variety of opinions on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project, but uniformly we believe that landowner property rights must be respected.”

The purpose of National Bike Month More is to encourage Charlottesville residents to hop on two wheels and have fun exploring the city while creating a positive impact on their health and their wallet. More than two-thirds of the U.S. adult population is overweight or obese and nearly one-third of U.S. children are overweight as well. Bicycling is an accessible means of physical activity for all ages, and when used for travel to work or school, can seamlessly 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 household 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 Virginia Parking & Transportation, BIKE UVA, UBIKE, and the League of American Bicyclists.

Add Value To Your Property?

hen Norma Rafferty’s father passed away, it made sense for her and her husband, Bob, to have a modest apartment addition for her mother built onto their home. A few calls showed neighborhood zoning and homeowner regulations 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 contractors (after checking with the Better Business Bureau) and hired a firm recommended by friends at their church.

The addition blended seamlessly with their house using the same style windows, siding, paint, and roofing.

Mom’s space was legally an “accessory 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, microwave, small fridge, and an oven large enough to bake her famous chocolate 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 rental unit to augment their retirement income. 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 relative 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 Properties. “I have seen homes transformed and the owners get to use rental income to offset the expense of upgrading and adding to the property.

“When you add a full bath and complete kitchen it definitely adds value to a home,” Greenfield continues, “but it’s not inexpensive. It generally entails finishing or adding space which often requires additional heating and air-conditioning. Plumbing and electrical work are another expense when

creating a kitchen, a bathroom, and perhaps space for a washer and dryer.”

Does A Rental Unit Help Or Hinder 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 concept was very much a part of the planning for the new Belvedere subdivision in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. “Many of the Belvedere homes,” he explains, “are built with a garage. A ‘carriage house’ can be creat-

Before 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 Thanksgiving? Will it be difficult to find tenants? Will your neighbors object?

And most important, what are local regulations, restrictions, and requirements?

Some Things To Consider

ning department to obtain a building permit and inspection schedule.

Craig Fabio, assistant zoning administrator for the City of Charlottesville, notes that these units are termed “accessory apartments,” whether interior as part of the existing dwelling or exterior in a separate building. “Especially 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 majority 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 different jurisdictions can have very different zoning and regulations in place, it’s essential to check the permitting requirements and process before beginning 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-

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 carriage house capability. “About 60 or 70 of them were completed specifically as rentals,” he says.

When we find them, we review them to be sure they are a safe place for people to live.”

insurance premiums, and real estate property taxes on Schedule E. Although setting up the bookkeeping can be complicated at first, after the first year it will be easier and offset by that steady rental income or the peace of mind knowing a family member is cared for close at hand,

What Might Be The Tax Implications?

Creating The Second Unit

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 person could be claimed as a dependent.

If you will be renting out the space, it’s doubly important to keep an accurate 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 between the rental part and the part you use—rather as if they were two separate properties. You can deduct part of certain expenses on a percentage basis including a portion of expenses such as utilities, home mortgage interest,

Remember, things usually cost more than expected, so draw up a basic budget of how much you can realistically afford. Calculate expenses such as architectural plans, plumbing, electrical work, a heat pump or other way to heat and cool, fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, carpeting, painting, even paving. A small laundry area with washer and dryer is a definite plus when seeking good renters.

Obtain bids from several contractors and check their references carefully. 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 probably 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 painting, 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 Tenants REALTOR® 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 arriving 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 former landlords. Your rental agreement should include your duties as a landlord, and the tenants’ responsibilities.

Include terms about security deposit, late fees, and especially terms by which the lease may be broken by either party. If unrelated parties are renting, have each individual sign the lease.

It’s important to plan carefully before creating a rental property, but the financial rewards can be substantial. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville.

WALKING INTO A PAINT place with those thousands of little paint sample cards can be a daunting adventure. 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, consider colors that are both popular and fairly neutral.

Neutrals today have definitely moved beyond white.

In fact, even beige is becoming a bit passé.

Third, consider painting one wall of a room in a bold tone while leaving the others a complimentary 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 entirely 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 season, 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 upload your own photos.

This year, for example, PPG Pittsburgh Paints is spotlighting pleasant, vigorous “Blue Paisley” with various intensities and companion colors. You can visit their website, upload a photo of the room you want to paint and, with a little bit of computer manipulation, visualize it with various colors, even with different walls painted different colors.

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 “Hubbard 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 neutral. Their website offers painting ideas, how-to information, 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 manipulate with color.

Remember, it’s always wise to buy the smallest possible 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 artificial light.

Kelly-Moore also highlights blue.

They describe their “Coastal Surf” as a timeless, saturated hue, ideal for bringing 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 “Marsala” which is a cherry-chocolate-rose tone described as “a subtly seductive shade that draws us into its embracing warmth.” The website shows the relationship 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

Specialty paints can add a new wrinkle to your décor. For example, “chalkboard” 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 shaken (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—perhaps 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 bathroom 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 recently painted their bathroom in a blue tone titled “Cincinnatian Hotel Ashley Atrium.”

Will Your Home Withstand

STORM SEASON?

(StatePoint) Year after year, Americans from Tornado Alley to the Gulf Coast to the metropolises of the Eastern 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 Assistance Committee and Project Management Director, IVI Assessment Services, a CBRE Company.

Beste offers some storm season advice: • Document your home — before disaster strikes. Grab your smartphone and take photos of your home now, inside and out, covering the foundation and all interior and exterior spaces. At best, you’ll have a nice keepsake; at worst, a visual documentation that can be used

Six Tips to Help You Prepare

for an insurance claim in case of disaster. 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, inexpensive and relevant. For example, are high winds a major worry where you live? Add an extra layer of protection 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 building goals. If you’re working with an architect to build or retrofit your home, make sure that he or she understands the importance of resiliency. Even more importantly, your contractor should feel comfortable executing these goals. Communication at every step is the key.

Encouraging and accepting diversity in your neighborhood gives us all a richer life.

• Safe rooms are not a cause for panic. 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 disaster.

• Design beyond code. Building codes are the minimum standard and in many cases, have not been updated to reflect the current reality. If you live in a particularly vulnerable 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 recommended. 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
