Thanks, but it's Albemarle county. I learned the hard way that it works better to lay out driveways according to slope. Measuring is good.
I lost $20k with a "professional" road builder 25 yrs ago who cut me a 30% slope driveway that didn't work very well. Had to reroute it to get down to 13%. Learn by doing. Both driveways rise 400'.
The client for this driveway had previously hired me to cut one on other property for him. He showed me where he wanted the driveway, I measured slopes and spent over an hour finally convincing him that it wouldn't work. Went the other direction around the hill and he's now a major fan of mine. Driveway worked out great, only one pipe. That one is in Rappahannock county.
They changed the Albemarle rules in 2009. The driveway in the photo would now cost about $300k, paved for it's half-mile length with 4' shoulders on each side. My neighbor across the road lost at least $1 million with that rule change. I told him he better cut in driveways before the change. He thought it was too expensive.
