Public Water System:
There is an existing twenty-four (24) inch water line extending in an easement along the north side
of HUll Street Road adjacent to portions of the request site. In addition, there is an existing eight
(8) inch water line stubbed out for future extension along Cosby Road, adjacent to the request site.
Use of the public water system is intended and has been proffered. (Proffered Condition 10)
Public Wastewater System:
There is an existing twenty-seven (27) inch wastewater trunk line extending along West Branch
Creek approximately 1,500 feet north of the request site. Use of the public wastewater system is
intended and has been proffered by the applicant. (Proffered Condition 10)
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The entire property drains to the northwest and then via tributaries into Swift Creek Reservoir.
This area is currently wooded with no known erosion or drainage problems and no adverse erosion
or drainage problems downstream are anticipated after development.
The property is partially wooded and, as such, should not be timbered except within the purview
of a land disturbance permk. This will insure that adequate erosion control measures are in place
prior to any land disturbance. (Proffered Condition 11)
An exception has been request to the requirement to utilize curb and gutter along the private drives
and parking areas which serve individual single family buildings in Parcel C, unless deemed
necessary for property drainage. (Textual Statement, Parcel A.8.).
6 99SN0227/WP/OCT27K
Water Quality:
Since the request property drains to the Swift Creek Reservoir, development will be subject to the
Upper Swift Creek water quality standards.
Proffered Conditions address design of any above ground facilky reqtfired for water quantity or
quality control (SWM/BMP). Specifically, the proffers requke that these areas be designed as
amenities for the uses developed on the property. (Proffered Condition 6)
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fke, library, park and transportation facilkies is identified in the Public Facilkies Plar~, the
Thoroughfare Plan and the FY 2000-2004 Capkal Improvement Program and further detailed by specific
depamnents herein. With the exception of schools (Proffered Condition 7), this development will have
an impact on these facilkies.
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Han indicates that emergency sen/ices calls are expected to increase forty-five
(45) percent by the year 2015. Eight (8) new fire/rescue stations are recommended for
construction by the year 2015 in the Public Facilities Plan. Based on a total of 128 multi-family and
single family units, this request w'fll generate approximately twenty-five (25) emergency calls for fire
and rescue services per year. The applicant has addressed the impact on these facilities. This does
not include calls received from the nursing/convalescent/rest home facilities which historically
number more than those for single/multi-family communities due to health problems. (Proffered
Condition 8)
This property is currently served by the Clover Hill Fire/Rescue Station, Company Number 7 and
Manchester Rescue Squad. When the property is developed, the number of hydrants and quantity
of water needed for fire protection will be evaluated dur'mg the plans review process.
The Conceptual Plan depicts two (2) access points into the development from Route 360 and
Cosby Road. The phasing for the construction of these accesses will be evaluated during the plans
review process to ensure that adequate emergency access is maintained to all areas of the
development should one (1) entrance become blocked.
Further, at the time of plans review, the Fire Department will be requir'mg two (2) separate and
remotely located access points into the nursing/convalescent/rest home facilities to ensure that
emergency services vehicles can reach these buildings should either access become blocked.
(Condition 2)
7 99SN0227/WP/OCT27K
The proposed minimum private driveway width of twelve (12) feet serving one (1) single family
dwelling and twenty (20) feet serving more than one (1) single family dwelling are acceptable
widths for emergency equipment to gain access to the residential community. The cul-de-sac,
located at the eastem terminus of this development, meets the minimum design standards for single
family developments. Design details will be evaluated during the plans review process.
Schools:
Since there is an age restriction on the proposed multi-family uses and single family dwellings, this
development will not have an impact on schools. (Proffered Condition 7)
Libraries:
Consistent with Board of Supervisors' policy, the impact of development on library services is
assessed County-wide. Based on projected population growth, the Public Facilkies Plan identifies
aneed for additionallibrary space throughout the County. Taking into account the additional space
provkted by the two (2) currently funded projects, the new La Prade and Chester Libraries, there
is still a projected need for 55,000 addkional square feet of library space County-wide by 2015.
The proposed development would most likely have the greatest impact on Clover Hill Library. The
Public Facilities Plan ktentifies a need for approximately 5,000 square feet of addkional library
space for Clover Hill. The applicant has addressed the impact on capital facilities. (Proffered
Condition 8)
Parks and Recreation:
The Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for two (2) new regional parks by 2015. This Plan
further identifies a current need for 224 acres of regional park space in the northwestern part of
the County. The applicant has offered measures addressing the impact of this development on
these facilities. (Proffered Condition 8)
Transportation:
The Master Plan divides the property into three (3) parcels: Parcels A, B and C. Development
of Parcels A and B is not limited to a specific use; therefore, it is difficult to anticipate traffic
generation for that part of the property. The use of Parcel C will be limked to a maximum of fifty
(50) single family dwellings. The applicant intends to develop Parcel B as seventy-eight (78 ) multi-
family unks. Based on general office use on Parcel A, multi-family uses on Parcel B and single
family uses on Parcel C, development is anticipated to generate approximately 2,680 average daily
trips. These vehicles will be distributed to Hull Street Road (Route 360) which had a 1997 tmlTtc
count of 19,113 vehicles per day and Cosby Road which had a 1996 traffic count of 180 vehicles
per day.
8 99SN0227/WP/OCT27K
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Route 360 as a major arterial with a recommended right-of-way
width of 120 to 200 feet. The applicant has proffered to dedicate 100 feet of right-of-way
measured from the centerline of Route 360, in accordance with that Plan (Proffered Condition 14).
Proffered Condition 14 also requires the developer to dedicate thirty (30) feet of right-of-way from
the centerline of Cosby Road.
Development must adhere to the Zoning Ordinance relative to access and internal circulation
(Article VII, Division 5). Direct access to maj or arterials, such as Route 360, should be controlled.
The applicant has proffered that direct access to Route 360 will be limited to one (1) entrance/exit,
located towards the eastem property line (Proffered Condition 15). Due to the proximity of the
property frontage to the Cosby Road/Route 360 intersection, the applicant has also proffered that
direct access to Cosby Road will be limited to one (1) entrance/exit located towards the western
property line (Proffered Condition 15). The proffered condition requires that access easements
be recorded across the property to ensure shared use of both the Cosby Road and the Route 360
access with adjacent properties.
Mitigating road improvements must be provided to address the uaffic impact of this development.
The applicant has proffered to: 1) construct an additional lane of pavement along Route 360 for
the entire property frontage; 2) construct additionalpavement along Route 360 at the approved
access to provide a fight turn lane; and 3) construct addkional pavement along Cosby Road at the
approved access to provide left and fight turn lanes, based on Transportation Deparunent
standards (Proffered Condition 16). It may be necessary for the developer to acquire "off-site"
fight-of-way to construct these road improvements.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies the need to improve existing roads, as well as construct new roads
to accommodate growth. Area roads need to be improved to address safety and accommodate
the increase in traffic generated by this development. The applicant has proffered to contribute
cash towards addressing this impact. (Proffered Condition 8)
At time of site plan review, specific recommendations will be provided regarding access and
internal circulation.

* Based on a proffered maximum number of dwelling units.
As noted, this proposed development will have an impact on capkal facilities. The applicant has proffered
an ages restriction (Proffered Condkion 9). Based upon this proffer, there should be no impact on the
school system. Staff has calculated the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on roads, parks, libraries
and fire stations at $3,300 per unit. The applicant has been advised that a maximum proffer of $3,093 per
unk would defray the cost of the capital facilkies necesskated by this proposed development. Consistent
with the Board of Supervisors' policy, and proffers accepted from other applicants, the applicant has
offered cash to assist in defraying the cost of this proposed development on such capital facilities.
(Proffered Condkion 8)
Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been reviewed and has
been determined that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash proffer in this case.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies wkhin the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for a mbx of uses to include multi-family residential uses of up to ten (10) units per acre
and corporate office. One of the goals of the Plan is to accommodate transkional type uses such
as that proposed by this application along the corridor with nodes of commercial services located
at strategic intersections.
10 99SN0227/WP/OCT27K
Area Development Trends:
Properties to the northwest and west are zoned Agricukural (A) and are developed for a private
school, outdoor recreation (miniature golf), a communications tower and a single family residence.
Property to the northeast is zoned Corporate Office (0-2) and is developed as a single family
residential subdivision. Vacant property to the east is zoned General Commercial (C-5) and areas
to the south are zoned Agricultural (A) and are occupied by single family residences or are vacant.
The Upper Swift Creek Plan suggests that this section of the Route 360 Corridor is appropriate
for a mixture of uses to include residential development of various denskies, professional, business
and administrative offices and integrated supporting uses.
Site Design:
The request property lies within an Emerging Growth Ama. Except as modified by this request,
development must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance which address access,
parking, landscaping, architectural treaunent, setbacks, signs, buffers, utilities and screening of
dumpsters and loading areas.
The Master Plan depicts the property divided into three (3) parcels of development. To allow
flexibility based upon £mal engineer'mg design, the acreage of each parcel may be increased or
decreased by twenty (20) percent (Proffered Condition 4). A Conceptual Plan, which is intended
to be a general guideline for the relationship between uses in these three development parcels, has
been included in this application (Proffered Condition 5). The Conceptual Plan includes building
orientation, road configuration, location of common and recreation spaces, sidewalks and
pedestrian walkways.
Parcel A contains approximately fifteen (15) acres and permks limited commercial uses to include
banks, nursery schools, child and adult day cam centers and kindergartens, offices, churches,
funeral homes or mortuaries and rest, convalescent and nursing homes. (Textual Statement, Parcel
A (a-f)). The Conceptual Plan proposes office uses along the Route 360 frontage and
nursing/convalescent care on the southeast portion of the property.
Parcel B contains approximately three (3) acres and permits a maximum of seventy-eight (78)
multi-family dwelling units in addition to offices, convalescent homes, nursing homes and rest homes
(Textual Statement, Parcel B (A.B.)). The Conceptual Plan depicts a multi-family residential facility
in the central portion of the project.
Within Parcel B, the applicant is requesting exceptions to parcel size, number of units on one floor
level and setbacks for structures from drives and parking as applied to multi-family development.
Specifically, the applicant wishes to develop multi-family uses on a minimum of two (2) acres
instead of twenty (20); be allowed forty (40) dwelling units on the first floor level of a building
instead often (10); be allowed a fifteen (15) foot building setback from driveways, reducible to five
(5) feet if providing access exclusively to parking and drop off areas, instead of twenty-five (25)
11 99SN0227/WP/OCT27K
feet; be allowed a five (5) foot building setback from parking areas rather than fifteen (15) feet and
an exception to the one and one-half acre minimum provision for recreational area.
Parcel C contains approximately nineteen (19) acres and permits a maximum of fifty (50) single
family dwelling units not located on individual lots (Textual Statement, Parcel C (A)). This parcel
is generally located along the western and northem boundaries of the property. The Conceptual
Plan clusters residential units in small groups designed to minim~e the number of units and garages
fronting the main private drives. The Conceptual Plan depicts these units fronting green space and
common sidewalks. Enwances to the individual garages would be via private drives located to the
rear of the individual dwelling units.
Architectural Treatment:
Architectural trealment of buildings, including materials, color and style, must be compatible with
buildings located within the same project. Compatib'dity may be achieved through the use of similar
building massing, materials, scale, colors and other architectural features.
Within Emerging Growth Areas, no building exterior which would be visible to any A, R, R-TH,
R-MF or O District or any public right of way may consist of architectural materials inferior in
quality, appearance, or detail to any other exterior ofthe same building. There is, however, nothing
to preclude the use of different materials on different building exteriors, but rather, the use of inferior
materials on sides which face adjoining property. No portion of a building constructed of
unadorned concrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal may be visible from any adjoining A,
R, R-TH, R-MF or O District or any public right of way. No building exterior may be constructed
of unpainted concrete block or corrugated and/or sheet metal.
In addkion to these requirements, the applicant has submkted a proffered condkioneqtfling
that buildings be compatible with the attached elevations (Proffered Condition 1 ). These elevations
depict an assisted living facility, a nursing homes and a single family "Cottage" dwelling which are
constructed of brick veneer, or a combination of brick veneer and siding, with shingled roofs. The
Zoning Ordinance will require that the archkectural treatment of all other buildings wkhin this
development be compatible to the architectural style and materials of the buildings depicted in these
elevations.
All junction and accessory boxes must be minimized from view of adjacent property and public
rights of way by landscaping or architectural treatment integrated with the building served.
Mechanical equipment, whether ground-level or rooftop, must be screened from view of adjacent
property and public rights of way and designed to be perceived as an integral part of the buiMing.
Buffers & Screening:
The Zoning Ordinance requires that solid waste storage areas (i.e., dumpsters, garbage cans, trash
compactors, etc.) be screened from view of adjacent property and public rights of way by a solid
12 99SN0227/WP/OCT27K
fence, wall, dense evergreen plantings or architectural feature, be separated from any residentially
zoned property or any property being used for residential purposes by the principal building and
that such area within 1,000 feet of any residentially zoned property or property used for residential
proposes not be serviced between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. In addition, sites must be
designed and buildings oriented so that loading areas are screened from any property where
loading areas are prohibked and from public rights of way.
Adjacent property to the north is zoned Corporate Office (0-2) with Condkional Use Planned
Development and is occupied by single family residences (Manor Gate Subdivision). The Zoning
Ordinance does not require a buffer along the northem property boundary of the request ske. The
applicant has proffered a 100 foot building and parking setback along the northern boundary
adjacent to Manor Gate Subdivision, of which the northern seventy-five (75) feet will be a buffer.
~Proffered Condition 3)
Recreation and Common Spaces:
The Zoning Ordinance requires that not less than ten (10) percent of the gross acreage ofa muki-
family project be devoted to recreational use, with a minimum provision of 1.5 acres. This
requirement is based upon a minimum project size of twenty (20) acres. The applicant proposes
a .75 acre recreational area to serve a multi-family project that will not exceed 3.6 acres in size
(three (3) acres plus twenty (20) percent). Although this recreational provision is less than the 1.5
acre minimum, it exceeds the standard requirement of ten (10) percent of the gross acreage
devoted to the multi-family portion of this development. Further, since this is an elderly project,
the demand for "active" recreation space is not as great as a typical high densky residential project.
Further, open space is provided throughout the project, as shown on the Conceptual Plan. This
recreational area, noted as "Community Facility" on the Conceptual Plan, is located at the entrance
to the development, providing a focal point for the project. This area will be hardscaped with
benches and other amenities to facilitate the gathering of residents. This area will be constructed
in conjunction with development on Parcel C. (Proffered Condition 9)
The Conceptual Plan also incorporates areas of common space throughout the project. Proffered
conditions require that these areas be maintained by the developer unless and until such
responsibility is relinquished to individual owners within the project or a non-profit council of co-
owners. (Proffered Condition 2)
Sidewalks and Paths:
The applicant has agreed to provide sktewalks along both skies of all private drives, as generally
shown on the Conceptual Plan (Proffered Condition 12). In addition, pedestrian paths are planned
within the project, their exact location to be determined at the time of site plan review. (Proffered
Condition 13)
13 99SN0227/WP/OCT27K
Landscaping:
Street trees and landscaping should be provided within the residential portions (Parcel C) of the
project to enhance the residential appeal of the development, define private spaces and minimize
the predominance of building mass and paved areas. The applicant proposes that street trees be
planted along each side of the private drives that provide access to driveways and parking areas
serving residents. Landscaping is to be installed around the pefnneter of all buildings, between
buildings and driveways, within medians and within common spaces not occupied by recreational
facilities. (Textual Statement, Parcel C. (A. 6. and 7.))
Otherwise, landscaping will be per the requirements of the Ordinance for Emerging Growth Areas.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the Upper Swift Creek Plan which suggests the property
is appropriate for a mix of uses to include multi-family residential uses of up to ten (10) units per acres and
corporate office uses.
In addition, the applicant has proffered conditions which provide for amenities that will enhance the project
and guarantee a quality development.
The proffered conditions address the impacts of this development on necessary capkal facilities, as outlined
in the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the need for schools, parks, libraries and
fire stations is identified in the County's adopted Public Facilities Plan and FY 2000-2004 Capital
Improvement Program and the impact of this development is discussed herein. The proffered condkions
adequately mkigate the impact on capital facilities, thereby insuring adequate service levels are maintained
and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the County citizens.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
