ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The majority of the property drains to the rear and then east via a small swale to the rear of several
dwellings on Grove Avenue before running through a lot into the roadside ditch along Grove
Avenue. There are no known drainage problems on the subject property. A field visit indicated
the possibility that this development could create drainage problems on several lots along Grove
3 00SN0143/WP/DEC 15P
Avenue ifnmoffis not directed away from these lots. There are no known drainage easements or
natural water courses in which to discharge water to the rear of the subject property. To address
this problem, the applicant has proffered when any new impervious area, other than stone parking,
is created, all impervious drainage will be directed to Route 10. ( Proffered Condkion 3 )
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
This property is currently served by the Chester Fire/Rescue Station, Company Number 1 and the
Bensley-Bermuda 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.
Transportation:
This request will not limit development to a specific land use; therefore, k is difficult to anticipate
traffic generation. Based on general office trip rates, development could generate approximately
seventy (70) average daily trips. These vehicles will be distributed along West Hundred Road
(Route 10) which had a 1997 traffic count of 24,479 vehicles per day.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Route 10 as a maj or arterial with a recommended right of way
width of ninety (90) feet. The applicant has proffered to dedicate forty-five (45) feet of right of
way measured from the centerline of Route 10 in accordance with that Plan.
(Proffered Condition 1)
Development must adhere to the requirements within the Zoning Ordinance relative to access and
internal circulation (Division 5). The applicant has proffered that direct access from the property
to Route 10 will be limited to one (1) entrance/exit, located towards the eastern property line
(Proffered Condition 2). The proffer requires an access easement to be recorded across the
property to allow shared use of this access with the adjacent property to the east. At time of site
plan review, speciftc recommendations will be provided regarding access and intemal circulation.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Chester Village Plan which suggests the property is appropriate
for mixed use to include neighborhood office and single family residential uses.
Area Development Trends:
Ama properties am cunently zoned for single family residential use and have been developed for
such uses to the east and west of the request site. The property to the south is zoned office and
4 00SN0143/WP/DEC 15P
is currently developed as a professional office building. The property to the north is a public/semi-
public use (Curtis Elementary School). The Chester Village Plan suggests a continued mixture of
office and residential uses along this portion of the Route 10 Corridor.
Site Design:
The request property lies within the Chester Village Corridor East. Redevelopment of the ske or
new construction must conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance which address street
lights, street tree plantings, access, parking, landscaping, architectural treannent, setbacks, signs,
buffers, utilities, and screening ofdumpsters and loading areas.
Hours of Operation:
In an O-1 District, typical office uses cannot be open to the public between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00
a.m.
Architectural Treatment:
In an O- 1 District, the Ordinance require that structures have an architectural style compatible with
surrounding residential neighborhoods. Compatibility may be achieved through the use of similar
building massing, materials, scale or other architectural feature.
In addition, within the Chester Village District, no building exterior may consist of architectural
materials inferior in quality, appearance or detail to any other exterior of the same building. There
is, however, nothing to preclude the use of different materials on different building exteriors, but
rather, the use of inferior material 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 district or any public right of way. Buildings should be designed to impart harmonious
proportions and to avoid monotonous facades or large bulky masses. Buildings must possess
architectural variety and must be compatible with existing structures. New or remodeled buildings
must enhance an overall cohesive character as reflected in existing structures. This character
should be achieved through the use of design elements, including but not limited to, materials,
balconies and/or terraces, articulation of doors and windows, sculptural or textural relief of facades,
archkectural omamentations, varied roof lines or appurtenances such as lighting f'Lxtures and/or
planting.
All junction and accessory boxes must be minimized from view of adjacent property and public
rights of way by landscaping or architectural trea1~nent 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 building.
5 00SN0143/WP/DEC 15P
Densky:
In an O-1 District, individual buildings within 200 feet of a residentially zoned parcel cannot exceed
5,000 square feet of gross floor area. Individual projects cannot exceed 5,000 square feet of gross
floor area per acre, prior to any right of way dedication.
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
masonry or concrete wall which is constructed of comparable materials to and designed to be
compatible with the pr'mcipal building that the solkt waste storage area serves and that such area
within 1,000 feet of any residentially zoned property or property used for resktential purposes not
be serviced between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
CONCLUSIONS
This request lies within the boundaries of the Chester Village Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for mixed use to include neighborhood office and single family residential uses. The requested

within this portion of the Chester Village. The proffered conditions address transportation and engineering

Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
