Public Water System:
The request site is within the Bellwood Water Pressure Zone. The public water system is
available to serve this site. There is an existing eight (8) inch water line extending along
the south side of Reymet Road within an easement opposite the request site. In addition,
there is an existing eight (8) inch water line extending within an easement behind the
existing commercial development on the east side of Express Lane. This line terminates
approximately 100 feet north of this site. To provide an addition feed and loop within the
water system, tie-ins to both the existing line north of the request site as well as the line
along Reymet Road will be required. Use of the public water system is required by
County Code.
Public Wastewater System:
This request is within the Kingsland Creek Sewer Service Area. There is an existing
twelve (12) inch wastewater line extending along Reymet Road adjacent to the request
site. This twelve (12) inch line can serve the southern portion of this site adjacent to
Reymet Road. In addition, there is an existing eight (8) inch wastewater collector line
that terminates approximately 350 feet northeast of this site. Extending this line may be
necessary to serve the entire site. If it is determined that wastewater service to the
request site will require extension of the existing eight (8) inch wastewater line, available
capacity in that line may become an issue. If available capacity becomes an issue, the
existing eight (8) inch line will have to be replaced back to the end of the existing twelve
(12) inch trunk line (approximately 745 feet of pipe). Use of the public wastewater
system is intended. (Proffered Condition 3)

ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the north where an intermittent stream crosses a corner of
the property and then via the intermittent stream northeast to the James River. There are
currently no known on- or off site drainage or erosion problems and none are anticipated
after development. The property is current wooded and, as such, should not be timbered
without obtaining a land disturbance permit from the Department of Environmental
Engineering. This will ensure that adequate erosion control measures are in place prior to
any land disturbance. (Proffered Condition 1)
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Centralia Fire Station, Company Numberl7 and Bensley Bermuda Volunteer Rescue
Squad currently provide fire protection and emergency medical service (EMS). This
request will have a minimal impact on Fire and EMS.
Transportation:
The applicant is requesting rezoning of the property (5.0 acres) from Agricultural (A) to
Heavy Industrial (I-3). This request will not limit development to a specific land use;
therefore, it is difficult to anticipate traffic generation. Based on light industrial trip rates,
development could generate approximately 280 average daily trips. These vehicles will
be initially distributed along Reymet Road which had a 2006 traffic count of 3,563
vehicles per day. The capacity of Reymet Road, east of Jefferson Davis Highway
(Route 1 /3 O l ), is acceptable (Level of Service C) for the volume of traffic it currently
carries. No public road improvements in this part of the county are currently included in
the Six-Year Improvement Plan.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies a Reymet Road as a collector with a recommended
right-of way width of seventy (70) feet. The applicant has proffered to dedicate thirty-
five (35) feet of right-of way, measured from the centerline of Reymet Road, in
accordance with that Plan. (Proffered Condition 2)
Vehicular access to collectors, such as Reymet Road, should be controlled. The parcels to
the east and west of the property have been developed with direct access to Reymet Road.
The property has limited frontage (approximately 300 feet) along Reymet Road. At time
of site plan review, staff will recommend that vehicular access to Reymet Road for
development of the property be limited to one (1) entrance/exit.
4 08SN0237 JUL30-BOS-RPT
The property is located within the Jefferson Davis Highway Enterprise Zone. Based on
the Board of Supervisors' Policy regarding development within the Enterprise Zone, road
improvements will not be required by the county. Road improvements maybe required
by the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) "Chapter 527" regulations, dealing
with development Traffic Impact Study requirements, have recently been enacted. At this
time, it is uncertain what impact VDOT's regulations will have on the development
process or upon zonings approved by the county. The applicant has indicated that a
Chapter 527 Traffic Study is not required for this zoning request.
T,ANT~ TIFF,
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Jefferson Davis Highway Corridor Plan which suggests
the property is appropriate for general industrial use.
Area Development Trends:
The area is characterized by Light, General and Heavy Industrial (I-l, I-2 and I-3) zonings
and developed for industrial and supporting uses. It is anticipated that industrial
development will continue along this portion of the Interstate 95 Corridor, consistent with
recommendations of the Plan.
Development Standards:
The request property lies within a Post Development District Area. Development of the site
must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance which address access,
architectural treatment, signs, pedestrian access, utilities and screening of dumpsters,
loading areas and outside storage.
In addition, the property is located within the Jefferson Davis Highway Corridor area.
Within this area, the Zoning Ordinance addresses parking, landscaping, buffers and yard
requirements.
CONCLUSION
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the Jefferson Davis Highway Corridor Plan which
suggests the property is appropriate for general industrial use. In addition, the proposed zoning
and land uses are representative of, and compatible with, existing and anticipated area
development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
