The following item was moved at this time by the Chairman:
8.C.21. DECLARATION OF MANDATORY WATER USE RESTRICTIONS
Mr. Raymond Parker, the owner of
a third of his business is la
mandatory water restrictions have
business. He requested if the
necessary, that the Board place
relating to allowing 30 days to
mechanically agitated.
Rental Works, stated nearly
wn and garden-related, and
a detrimental effect on the
mandatory restrictions are
language in the ordinance
water lawns that have been
Mr. Tom Hessel, the President of Green Up Turf Care, stated
50 percent of his customer base is in Chesterfield County.
He further stated aeration and seeding is critical to the
success of his business. He urged the Board to take into
consideration the impact of water restrictions on lawn care
businesses.
In response to the citizens' concerns, Mr. Stegmaier stated
if it is the Board's wish, staff can look at the ordinance
and study the impacts of the 10-day allowance versus the 30-
day allowance of watering lawns.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Micas stated the
item limiting business use to essential use only is
interpreted to be only for restaurant use.

In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
the current ordinance would allow 10 days of continuous
watering of reseeded lawns and following that time it would
be limited to every other day. He further stated the
amendments being requested by the citizens would be to allow
watering for 30 days following reseeding lawns.
Mr. Covington .stated Henrico County's ordinance states that
watering is allowed for 30 days after reseeding and no
watering allowed after that timeframe. He further stated
refurbishing of existing lawns by overseeding is precluded
from the 10-day time period. He provided the Board with
background relating to the James River Regional Flow
Management Plan and keeping certain amounts of water in the
river. He stated the water restrictions have been applied 3
times in the past 7 years. He further stated after
conversations with the Extension Agent, 10 days of watering
is sufficient to allow for germination of the seeds.
Mr. Warren clarified the Extension Agent has reaffirmed that
10 days is more than adequate to establish germination of the
seeds and that watering 3 days a week thereafter is
sufficient.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Covington stated if
the Board decides not to make a declaration that the county
is experiencing drought conditions, then the Board would be
able to reword the ordinance and bring the declaration back
at a later time. He further stated the Board's confirmation
of the declaration is needed to enact the mandatory water
restrictions.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Covington stated
in previous years, the water restrictions had lasted
approximately four months. He further stated the recent rain
will positively affect the level of water in the river, but
will not be enough to replenish the groundwater supply. He
stated the county does not have data on the number of new
lawns and existing lawns. He further stated it is difficult
to enforce whether the lawn is existing or refurbished.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to enacting the water
restrictions and then possibly lifting them in 30 days which
would impact the lawn care businesses at their busiest time
of the year.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Covington restated
Henrico does allow watering of new lawns for 30 days and then
no watering is allowed thereafter and the Extension Agent
feels allowing new lawns to be watered for 10 days is
adequate.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Covington stated
Board action is not required to lift the mandatory water
restrictions.
Mr. Covington stated the county is not legally bound to abide
consistently with our neighboring localities, but should. do
so in the spirit of regional cooperation.
On motion of Mr. Holland, seconded by Mr. Warren, the Board
confirmed and approved the declaration of mandatory water use
08-566
08/27/08
restrictions to assure maximum beneficial use of available
water resources for the public welfare during the prevailing
drought conditions, effective September 2, 2008.
Ayes: Warren, Gecker, Jaeckle, Holland, and Durfee.
Nays: None.
6. WORK SESSIONS
6.A. NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION EFFORTS
Mr. William Dupler presented a summary of neighborhood
preservation actions by the Department of Building
Inspections to include a summary of the authority and status.
He stated the Department of Building Inspections uses the
Property Maintenance Code to identify unsafe and blighted
structures. He presented an overview of some of the
proactive work done by Building Inspections to include the
interior and exterior of houses, pools, fences, and sheds.
He provided a summary of actions in Building Inspection for
FY2007-2008. He stated the Planning Department handles
inoperable and junk vehicles, illegal signs, junk and
discarded materials, and weeds and tall grass. He presented
a summary of violation types throughout the county and of the
Planning Department actions for FY2007-2008. He provided a
summary of the actions performed by the Community Development
Block Grant Department to include housing rehabilitation, new
construction, down payment assistance and emergency home
repairs. He presented a comparison of similar counties and
the type of zoning enforcement used.
Mr. Jacobson presented some of the challenges faced by the
Sustain Our Communities Committee, to include the fact that
poverty today is greater in the American suburbs than central
cities and poverty is rising in Chesterfield County. He
provided some of the county's strategies to help sustain the
neighborhoods to include re-establishing healthy communities
and sustaining older residential and commercial areas. He
stated the county is currently working with Jefferson Davis
Association and Ettrick to encourage developers to reinvest
in those areas of the county. He provided some of the
results of revitalization efforts in the county.
Mr. Cliff Bickford, a member of the Sustain Our Communities
Committee, presented a summary of some of the accomplishments
of the committee in the community. He provided information
on the Salem Woods Subdivision pilot program to include the
efforts of the revitalization plan. He further provided the
Board with the proposed work program for the committee.
Mr. Holland expressed appreciation to Mr. Dupler, Mr.
Jacobson and Mr. Bickford for their presentations and for the
prior Board's vision to create the Sustain Our Communities
Committee. He stated schools are important in taking the
lead in neighborhood preservation. He further stated he
agrees communities need to be safe and walkable.
Ms. Durfee stated it is important to continue the efforts to
come up with different ways to tap into community resources.
Mr. Bickford stated the Salem Woods clean-up day is expanding
each year, and noted that the biggest issue with the
J
J
J
08-567
08/27/08
volunteers is they are unsure of how to proceed in the
community.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed appreciation to Mr. Bickford for
working with the communities to help get them involved with
zoning enforcement. She stated blighted properties bring
down the entire neighborhood.
Mr. Gecker expressed appreciation to Mr. Bickford for his
efforts in the community. He stated revitalization needs to
be incorporated with the Comprehensive Plan rewrite.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Micas stated the
county can proactively enforce the maintenance code.
Mr. Gecker stated he would like for the county to move toward
a more aggressive property maintenance code enforcement. He
further stated the county needs to have a rental housing
inspection ordinance. He stated many communities have
concerns with rental properties due to the statistical
correlation between the number of rental units and condition
of the surrounding properties. He requested staff bring
information to the Board relating to the staffing of property
maintenance issues and rental property inspections. He
stated the Comprehensive Plan for Virginia Beach discusses
the expenditure of public funds on public facilities and the
importance of achieving a double benefit because citizens
tend to congregate where the facilities have the curb appeal.
He requested staff pay special attention to where and how the
county is spending their money to maximize the return on the
money.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Ted Barclay stated
the information provided indicates the number of cases
handled in FY2008 in the Zoning Enforcement section of the
Planning Department. He further stated the majority of the
cases are closed within a couple months. He stated one of
the major issues is maintaining compliance.
Mr. Holland stated the county needs to look at the top three
enforcement issues and focus on those.
7. DEFERRED ITEM
7.A. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ELECTING AN OPTION FOR
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY TO SATISFY ITS SHARE OF A
STATEWIDE $50 MILLION REDUCTION IN STATE REVENUE FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN BOTH FY2009 AND FY2010
Mr. Carmody stated adoption of a resolution electing an
option for Chesterfield County to satisfy its share of a
statewide $50 million annual reduction in state revenue for
local governments in FY2009 and FY2010 was deferred from the
Board's July meeting. He further stated this item does not
address the most recent pending reductions announced by the
state. He provided a list of the three options available to
the county to satisfy its share to include, taking reductions
in state revenues for one state aid program; taking
reductions in state revenues in various state aid programs,
the first two being program areas that have been identified
by the state Department of Planning and Budget, or reimburse
the Commonwealth leaving state aid revenues not reduced or
08-568
08/27/08
impacted. He stated the impact of either option is the same
on Chesterfield County, which equals $1.25 million. He
further stated a decision is needed to meet the state
deadline.
In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr. Carmody stated
some of the revenues from the state are distributed monthly
and quarterly, or as a reimbursement. He further stated
local dollars will end up going to state mandated programs if
expenditures are not reduced.
Mr. Gecker stated he would not want to send the state money
before the county receives it. He further stated he would
like the county to notify the state that if needed the county
will cut some state funded programs to cover the reduction.
Mr. Carmody stated staff monitors "the revenues and
expenditures" in the budget monthly.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Mr. Holland, the Board
adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of
Virginia chose to respond to declining state general fund
revenue growth by shifting to local governments the
responsibility for reducing a combined $100.0 million of
state aid funding for core services over fiscal years 2009
and 2010; and
WHEREAS, a bill was signed into law approving a combined
$100.0 million appropriation reduction for local governments
over fiscal years 2009 and 2010 without identifying the
programs to be reduced; and
WHEREAS, because the Commonwealth did not identify which
specific program funds to be reduced, the Commonwealth
permitted local governments to choose to make a payment in
the amount specified as reductions; and
WHEREAS, these reductions or payments to the
Commonwealth, are in addition to those reductions made by the
General Assembly and signed into law affecting state funding
for law enforcement, profits from the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Enterprise Fund and distributions of wine liter tax
collections, constitutional offices, the upgrade of
wastewater treatment facilities in conformance with the water
quality standards and goals to name but a few; and
WHEREAS, the $100.0 million reduction or payments to the
Commonwealth will likely be continued forward into future
biennia constraining the county's ability to maintain service
levels;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Chesterfield
County Board of Supervisors does hereby elect to satisfy the
County's proportionate share of the $100.0 million reduction
in Commonwealth of Virginia aid to localities by choosing to
fund the state reductions through revenue decreases in one or
more of the programs identified by the Department of Planning
and Budget.
The details of such are described in the table below:

Ms. Norma Szakal, a member of Hands Across the Lake,
expressed appreciation for Ms. Durfee remaining committed to
her campaign promises.
Mr. Gordon Minor, a Midlothian District resident, urged the
Board to act on the proposal.
Mr. Peter Martin stated the development has made great
promises if the developer lives up to them. He further
stated the county does not have a watershed plan or a LID
manual. He urged the Board not to make a decision on the
case.
Mr. Kevin McNulty, a homebuilder in Chesterfield County,
stated Roseland represents smart growth that will be great
for Chesterfield County.
Mr. Bill Johns,a Midlothian District resident, stated the
Roseland development is a great development for those
citizens who are unable to drive and will allow those
citizens to continue to live in.Chesterfield.
Mr. Mark Tubbs, a Matoaca District resident, stated he is in
support of this project.
Mr. Will Shewmake stated Roseland will set a precedent for
the county for the developers. He urged the Board to approve
Roseland.
Ms. Amy Satterfield stated the Village of Midlothian
Coalition supports Roseland.
Mr. Ivan Wu, a resident of Chesterfield County, stated he has
never seen a zoning case thought through as thoroughly as the
Roseland case.
Ms. Andrea Epps, a resident of Brandermill, stated the
Roseland case is a great case.
Ms. Shelly Schuetz urged the Board to evaluate the case on
the issues of schools and commercial development. She stated
the language does not provide a timeline for the commercial
development to be finished.
Mr. Andy Scherzer, a resident of Midlothian, spoke in support
of Roseland. He stated it is important to encourage an
alternative to what the developers have been building.

Ms. Christy Lucas, a Charter Colony resident, expressed
appreciation to Ms. Durfee for facilitating a process to
ensure the citizens have had a voice in the case. She stated
she is willing to continue to work with Roseland through the
planning process.
Ms. Holly Marshall, a property owner in Charter Colony,
expressed appreciation for Ms. Durfee taking time to assist
in reaching a resolution. She urged the applicant to
continue working with adjacent property owners throughout the
planning process.
Mr. Dick Collier, a homebuilder in Chesterfield -County,
stated Roseland is by far the best planned community he has
seen in his 50 years in the building industry. He urged the
Board to approve the case.
Mr. Greg Blake, a resident of the Upper Swift Creek area,
spoke relating to the lack of wording in the proffered
conditions regarding the infrastructure being built in a
timely manner.
Mr. Anderson stated the developer has not ignored or rejected
water quality in the Upper Swift Creek. He further stated
doing LID does not prevent the developer from having to work
with the Environmental Engineering Department. He stated the
components the school needs will be in the plans for the
school, or the developer will not get approval to build the
school. He further stated the developer has made seven
changes to this zoning case in the last 30 days at the
request of citizens, county staff, and Board members.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Anderson stated
the second school contemplated would be an elementary school.
Ms. Durfee stated when she took office in January, she met
with Mr. Wayne Bass, the Matoaca District Planning
Commissioner, and discussed how rezoning cases would be
handled. She further stated it is of the utmost importance
in the Matoaca District to ensure all rezoning cases follow a
set process and to establish strategic planning principles
and practices for the county. She explained in the past,
there has been an abundance of residentially-zoned property
in the Upper Swift Creek watershed. She stated detailed
proffered condition language is now expected in rezoning
cases in the Matoaca District so the county is granted
assurances and protection for its residents. She further
stated Roseland is the largest project brought before
Chesterfield County and the applicant has brought a project
which embraces the new urbanism concept and employs many
smart growth principles. She stated the proffered conditions
have been fine tuned in the past 30 days but the
transportation proffered conditions still do not fully
address the concerns raised.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. McCracken stated
he had prepared language for the Board members and the
applicant relating to the transportation phasing analysis.
He further stated he does not recollect a case where the
initial phase of the development has generated an impact
greater than what is expected when the development is fully
developed. He stated a significant traffic impact will be
seen from the Roseland development and other improvements
08-596
08/27/08
will need to be made in the area that have not been addressed
in the zoning case.
Ms. Durfee discussed some of her concerns with the language
relating to the school proffered conditions being vague. She
stated the proffered conditions provide no guarantee that the
school will be built with a typical elementary school
capacity of 900 students or provide land for trailers if
needed. She further stated the applicant expressed a
willingness to build a school with the capacity of 600
students, which does not deal with realistic population
demands. She stated the county should have the ability to
decide what type of school will be needed to serve student
populations. She further stated the applicant has stated
through proffered conditions the desire to reserve an
additional site for the purpose of an elementary school,
which provides little assurance the land will be available
when the county is able to build a school in that location.
She provided an estimate of the number of school-age students
this development will generate. She expressed concerns
relating to the environmental proffered condition and the
phosphorus level and the language referencing degrading to an
unacceptable level and it does not apply to residential if it
is located in the same structure as commercial. She further
expressed concerns relating to the lack of a stormwater
management plan, a LID manual, and priorities for developing
the watershed have not been defined. She stated she would
like to see an increase in the amount of commercial square
footage proffered and a decrease in the amount of residential
square footage. She further stated residential construction
should not outpace commercial construction and specific
language indicating the number of residential units allowable
in each space is not fully addressed. She stated the county
must have a way to be assured the development will ultimately
be built with the commercial business needed to make the
residential part of the project successful. She discussed
the proffered condition relating to the CDA and whether the
county would be able to accommodate it. She stated she was
highly encouraged by an alternative development design to
sprawl bringing new urbanism into the county, but must take
into account the issues which will impact the county as a
whole. She further stated she is excited about the walkable
portion of the development, but has concerns about the other
part of the development not being walkable. She stated the
county is currently in a budget shortfall and future budgets
will be tight, and there is a huge gap in the ability to
provide for public facilities and services already exist.
She further stated the county has an imbalance between the
residential and commercial and although this development will
bring commercial development into the county it will also
bring residential. She provided details of the shortfall of
public safety officers in the county and questioned whether
the county can absorb the development without compromising
the sustainability of the needs of other areas of the county.
Mr. Holland expressed appreciation to the speakers for their
presence at the meeting as the county continues on its
journey towards excellence. He stated he believes Roseland
is a good case and a decision needs to be made tonight.
Ms. Jaeckle stated Roseland presents an opportunity to change
the way things have been done in the county, is on the cusp
J
J
J
08-597
08/27/08
of the wave of the future and will raise development
standards.
Mr. Gecker addressed the comments relating to the county
being under-policed, stating the changes in the pay policy
for- the Police Department has led the department to believe
that all empty positions will be filled by the end of the
year. He stated the administration needs to be more involved
with the development of the cases. He further stated this
case is a product of the change in transportation patterns
and the western part of the county has become much more
accessible to the office complexes at Innsbrook and West
Creek. He stated the Board is often criticized for not
following plans in place, noting that the Route 288 Plan is
one of the better land use plans in the county and this
development fits into that Plan. He further stated the
county is better if the development is forced to go in places
where the county has. the ability to provide the
infrastructure to handle that development, which he believes
to mean to continue to work along the Route 288 corridor. He
stated any school built in the county must go through
Substantial Accord, which is a process by which the Planning
Commission first and with confirmation of the Board, the
school in question complies with the Public Facilities Plan.
He further stated he does not believe the county needs to
have larger schools and the language provided in the
proffered conditions ties the requirements back to the Public
Facilities Plan. He addressed the concerns relating to the
commercial aspect of the development stating this land sits
in a corridor which is commercial to north. He stated
internal grid is guaranteed for the transportation aspect.
He further stated he was supportive of Roseland, but saying
the Board is supportive and is willing to vote for the case
are two different things. He provided details of changes in
the pxof,fers which show there was no deal made with the Board
and the applicant. He stated improving the secondary roads
will improve Route 360 and it was important that southern
Woolridge be built. He further stated when the applicant
agreed to the transportation changes, his vote changed from
no to yes. He stated Roseland is a well-designed case and
for the county to attempt to micromanage the internals of
this development would be a long term mistake.
Mr. Warren stated as late as yesterday afternoon, Mr. Gecker
was still against the case. He expressed appreciation for
the citizens who spoke on the request and for staff who has
tirelessly worked to get the information requested to the
Board.
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Turner stated the
current Planning Commission heard this case in February and
recommended approval with a vote of 4 to 1, and staff
supports the case.
Mr. Warren stated he received a letter from Chairman of the
School Board expressing the favorable position of the School
Board for the case.
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Turner stated the
applicant has agreed to the recently adopted cash proffer
amount. He further stated the zoning case has improved since
the last time it was before the Planning Commission. He
stated three years ago the county was issuing roughly 2,400
08-598
08/27/08
single-family building permits a year but with the downturn
in the economy, the county will issue approximately 1,000
single family building permits this year.
Mr. Warren provided details relating to the addendums for
Case 07SN0223 that have been presented in the last week.
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Turner stated he
felt the stormwater conditions proposed in the addendums are
the most stringent water quality standards ever proposed in
the county. He further stated the condition proposed in
Addendum 3 reduces the amount of credit the applicant will
receive for off-site road improvements, specifically on
Woolridge Road, by $4 million.
Mr . Warren thanked Mr . Anderson for the work he has done on
behalf of his client to make the case what it is.
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Anderson stated
the applicant accepts the revised stormwater management
conditions and the revised condition relating to the amount
of credit received by the applicant. He further stated DPZ
in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a firm that is trying to
create Light Imprint Development that is specifically geared
towards new urban communities that the applicant intends to
work with along with others in the country. He stated the
applicant will have to present to Environmental Engineering a
LID development in order to have approval on the plans.
Mr. Warren stated the county has a responsibility to protect
its interest to make sure the reservoir is protected.
In response to Mr. warren's questions, Mr. Stegmaier stated
staff is pursuing the development of an LID manual and
intends to use outside experts to assist in the development
of that manual. He further stated staff is currently
preparing a request for proposals from professional firms to
assist with development of that manual and other issues
related to water quality planning. He stated the county has
for sometime allowed the use of outside engineering firms to
verify the effectiveness of water quality features and will
continue to do that. He further stated staff will open the
request up to all firms and our goal would be to find the
best firm to meet our needs.
Mr. Holland stated he does not tell anyone how he is planning
to vote on a case and will not change his mind until he is
confident conditions have been met.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Wayne Bass,
Matoaca District Commissioner, stated when he asked for a
deferral on the case, he was out of deferral time, and at
that time the applicant would not take the deferral. He
further stated his only option was to motion for denial and
he did not get a second, and the case was ultimately approved
by the Planning Commission. He stated the case has decent
wording in it and is a good case, but ultimately he voted no
on the case . He further stated the zoning case is the most
important part of the process.
Ms . Durfee stated it is unprecedented in the county for the
School Board to send a letter supporting the case before the
county had the opportunity to negotiate the case. She
J
J

08/27/08
further stated Mr. Rajah, the Matoaca School Board
representative, was not in support of the letter and did not
support the language in the proffered condition.
Mr. Warren made a motion, seconded by Mr. Holland, for the
Board to approve Case 07SN0223 with the acceptance of the
sixteen proffered conditions included in the "Request
Analysis", as modified by the first Addendum, with the
exception of Proffered Condition 12.b relative to stormwater
management. In lieu of accepting Proffered Condition 12.B,
Mr. Warren imposed a condition which is noted in Addendum II.
This condition has been drafted by the leadership of Hands
Across the Lake and clarifies the requirement for the
developer to comply with the most restrictive stormwater
management standards adopted by the county subsequent to this
case for any undeveloped portion of the property. The
applicant has acknowledged that this condition is acceptable
and would replace Proffered Condition 12.B with all other
proffers in the case remaining intact. Further, he
recognized the county's continued efforts in balancing growth
with environmental integrity. The applicant has agreed to
incorporate Low Impact Development techniques throughout the
project. The county is receptive to alternative approaches
to stormwater management. As such, the developer's agreement
to incorporate LID coupled with the county hiring a
consultant to develop a low impact design manual will provide
a uniform and positive approach in promoting environmentally-
friendly developments. In addition, in the motion to
approve, Mr. Warren imposed a second condition noted in
Addendum III which would amend the estimated cost used to
determine case proffer credits for the off-site Woolridge
Road improvements from 13.8 million to 9.8 million dollars.
The applicant has acknowledged that this condition is
acceptable and would supersede that portion of Proffered
Condition 13 relative to the estimated cost for road
improvements, only, with all other proffers remaining intact.
1. The Developer acknowledges that, if the water quality of
the Swift Creek Reservoir has reached a median level
that exceeds .035 mg/1 in-lake phosphorus or otherwise
degrades to an unacceptable level, that the County may
recommend that the County may adopt phosphorus loading
standards that are more restrictive than the standards
applicable on the date on which the Board of Supervisors
approves this rezoning request. To mitigate the impact
of this development on the water quality of the Swift
Creek Reservoir and the Upper Swift Creek Watershed, and
consistent with the County's duty to exercise its police
powers to protect the County's water supply, the
Developer and his assignees agree that the phosphorus
loading standards of the Zoning Ordinance, any water
quality or stormwater management standards adopted by
the County to mitigate the impact of development on the
water quality of the Reservoir, and any water quality
standards required by the state or federal governments
that are applicable to any undeveloped portion of the
Property shall be those standards that are in effect at
the time of subdivision or site plan approval for any
residential uses. This condition shall not apply to
residential uses located within the same structure as
commercial uses. All substantially approvable
construction plans in the Department of Environmental
08-600
08/27/08
Engineering that have complied with the submittal
criteria for review shall not be effected. (EE)
(Note: This condition supersedes Proffered Condition
12.b)
2. The estimated cost for the road improvements referenced
in Proffered Condition 13.,E.ii shall be $9,800,000. (T)
(Note: This condition supersedes that portion of
Proffered Condition 13.E.ii referencing the estimated
cost for road improvements, only.)
And further, the Board accepted the following proffered
conditions:
The Owners and the Developer (the "Developer") in this zoning
case, pursuant to §15.2-2298 of the Code of Virginia (1950 as
amended) and the Zoning Ordinance of Chesterfield County, for

developed according to the following conditions if, and only
if, the rezoning request for rezoning to R-TH and C-3, with a
conditional use planned development and a conditional use,
are granted. In the event the request is denied or approved
with conditions not agreed to by the Developer, the proffers
and conditions shall immediately be null and void and of no
further force or effect. If the zoning is granted, these
proffers and conditions will supersede all proffers and
conditions now existing on the Property.

A. Construct Woolridge Road as a six (6) lane, divided
facility, with innovative stormwater management
facilities located in the median as approved by
VDOT, designed to VDOT Urban Minor Arterial
standards with a 50mph design speed, unless the
developer, Transportation Department and VDOT
mutually agree on alternative design standards that
permit slower posted speeds that improve safety,
from Route 288 to Old Hundred Road. At any time
after four lanes of Woolridge Road have been
constructed through the property the developer may
submit a supplemental traffic study, acceptable to
the Transportation Department, to demonstrate the
additional two lanes are not required to achieve
acceptable levels of service at the projected full
build out of the property as defined in the
accepted traffic study dated October 12, 2007. If
the Transportation Department agrees the additional
lanes are not required at the projected full build
out of the property to provide acceptable levels of
service, the developer shall be relieved of the
requirement to construct the two additional lanes.

A. Prior to each site plan approval and/or tentative
subdivision plan approval, a Phasing Plan for the
required road improvements as identified in
Proffered Condition 6, with supporting traffic
analysis, if required by, and acceptable to the
Transportation Department, shall be submitted to
and approved by the Transportation Department.
B. All roadway improvements set forth in Proffered
Condition 6 are required to be completed, as
determined by the Transportation Department, in
accordance with the Phasing Plan approved by the
Transportation Department. If requested by the
Transportation Department, the developer shall
provide the Transportation Department with
additional traffic analyses, in accordance with the
Transportation Department's "Policy for the
Analysis of Phased Development Impacts" and the
"Procedures for the Preparation of Traffic Impact
Analyses", upon the completion of each phase.
Improvements to the roads and/or intersections
identified on Figures 31 and 31A, shall be
increased by the developer, as required by the
Transportation Department, if these studies
demonstrate that traffic generation rates and
distribution solely from this development are
materially higher, as determined by the
Transportation Department, from projections set
forth in the traffic impact analysis prepared by
Timmons Group dated October 12, 2007, or subsequent
studies approved by the Transportation Department.
If satisfactory improvements cannot be provided,
the Planning Commission may reduce the permissible
densities to the extent that acceptable levels of
service are provided as determined by the
Transportation Department. (T)
8. Utilities.
A. Public water and wastewater systems shall be used,
except for temporary sales facilities and/or
construction offices.
08-604
08/27/08
B. The required Overall Water/Wastewater Systems Plan
for the development, accompanied by a Utilities
Infrastructure Phasing Plan, shall be submitted to
the Utilities Department prior to the final
approval of the first tentative subdivision, site,
or construction plan for the request site. The
overall plan shall be prepared in accordance with
the requirements as outlined in Appendix 12 of the
Chesterfield County Water and Sewer Specifications
and Procedures Manual. Phasing of improvements
shall be included in Overall Water/Wastewater
Systems Plan.
C. The Developer shall be responsible for providing a
minimum two (2) acre site at a ground elevation of
270 feet or higher, acceptable to Chesterfield
County Utilities Department, for the purpose of
constructing a water tank ("Water Tank Site"). The
Developer shall be responsible for all costs of
acquisition, right-of-way/easements, appropriate
water line extensions to the Water Tank Site, and
documents relating to the Water Tank Site
acquisition. The Developer shall convey the Water
Tank Site to Chesterfield County prior to the
release of more than 1,000 building permits that
require utility connection fees.
D. The Developer shall pay a contribution fee
equivalent to the cost of a water tank based on the
tank size necessary to meet the water storage
requirements for the development prior to the
release of more than 2,000 building permits that
require utility connection fees. (U)
9. Density.
A. The maximum number of principal dwelling units
developed on the Property shall be 5140. Single
family independent dwelling units that are internal
to any age-restricted facility, including
continuing care retirement communities and active
adult communities, shall be considered a principal
dwelling unit and shall count toward the overall
density.
B. The maximum number of secondary dwelling units that
are separate from the principal dwelling unit
(second dwelling unit on a lot) shall be 400 (i.e.:
Carriage Houses that qualify as a second dwelling
unit on a lot).
C. Of the total maximum, a maximum of 1247 principal
dwelling units shall be permitted in North Hallsley
and West Park.
D. The minimum non-residential square footage within
Roseland shall be 500,000 gross square feet. Of
this total, a minimum non-residential square
footage within North Park shall be 400,000 gross
square feet. These minimums may be phased.
E. Until construction has begun on a minimum of 40,000
gross square feet of non-residential uses in Old

Town, no more than a cumulative total of 50
principal dwelling units shall be permitted in Old
Town. Any multi-family residential dwelling units
that are part of a mixed-use building (i.e., office
or retail as ground floor uses) shall not count
toward the 50 principal dwelling unit restriction.
F. At no time shall the total gross square footage of
retail uses located within North Park exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the total gross square
footage of North Park. (P)
10. Age Restriction. Except as otherwise prohibited by the
Virginia Fair Housing Law, the Federal Fair Housing Act,
and such other applicable federal, state or local legal
requirements, dwelling units designated as age-
restricted shall be restricted to "housing for older
persons" as defined in the Virginia Fair Housing Law and
no persons under 19 years of age shall reside therein.
(B & M)
11. Senior Housing. Any dwelling units designated for
senior housing as defined in Proffered Condition on age-
restriction shall be noted on the site plan and/or on

set forth below) for each public facility shall be based
on the actual need for the specific public facility and
not by any arbitrary date.

construction of the additional
elementary school,- but shall review
the external architectural elements
of the school for compatibility any
prior to its construction. The
school should be similar to and
compatible with any existing public
school located within the Property.
Compatibility may be achieved with
the use of similar building massing,
materials, scale, colors and other
architectural features. If the
Reserved Area is dedicated to
Chesterfield County during the
Reservation Term and an additional
elementary school is not constructed
prior to the end of the Reservation
Term, then upon a written request

17.B. TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE AS IT
RELATES TO THE PLANTING, REPLACEMENT AND PRESERVATION
OF TREES IN THE SWIFT CREEK RESERVOIR WATERSHED
Mr. Scott Flanigan stated this date and time had been
advertised for the Board to consider amendments to the zoning
ordinance as it relates to the planting, replacement and
preservation of trees in the Swift Creek Reservoir Watershed.
In response to Mr. warren's question, Mr. Flanigan stated the
Roseland project would be required to have a 20 percent tree
save that does include RPA, floodplains and wetlands so those
projects that have those areas are included.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Micas stated the
ordinance itself is optional but if the Board adopts it would
have to comply with certain standards.
08-618
08/27/08
Mr. warren called for public comment.
Mr. Jamie Shelton presented data on the economic value of
trees to include saving money on water treatment, energy
savings, reducing county taxes and reducing the health costs
of bad water. He stated he supported the tree .save
ordinance.
Ms. Andrea Epps spoke in support of the proposed tree save
ordinance.
Mr. Tom Pakurar stated trees are the most valuable resource
in water quality protection and the proposed ordinance is a
good start for the county.
Ms. Norma Szakal spoke in support of the proposed ordinance
and stated it will assist with reducing run-off.
Dr. Betty Hunter-Clapp spoke in support of the proposed tree
save ordinance saying it is a good step in the right
direction.
Mr. Peter Martin urged the Board to approve the proposed
ordinance and to try to increase the tree cover requirements
in the future.
Mr. Warren closed the public hearing.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Flanigan stated the
Planning Commission passed the ordinance with a vote of 5 to
0.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Flanigan stated the
decision to strike the commercial, R-MF and R-TH came about
during some work session meetings with the Planning
Commission due to a concern over the interaction with the
ordinance with commercial development. He further stated
after consulting the Planning Department, staff felt there
was potential conflict with the ordinance and commercial
development and the commercial component may be brought back
at a future date. He stated the R-MF and R-TH zoning go
through a commercial review process.
Mr. Gecker stated he does not understand why the county would
exempt out the commercial, industrial, R-MF and R-TH zoning.
He further stated R-MF and R-TH are residential products.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Flanigan stated
there could be some conflicts with what is already required
for those types of developments with the amount of trees and
what is required as part of landscaping.
Mr. McElfish stated the commercial component was dropped out
because of conflicts with the landscaping and the R-TH and R-
MF have landscaping requirements, and that was a concern
between Planning and Environmental Engineering.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Micas stated the
ordinance was advertised to provide the Board with the full
option.
Mr. Gecker stated he wanted to understand why the commercial,

Mr. Gecker stated if there are conflicts between the
landscaping ordinance and this ordinance, they should be
resolved before a new ordinance is passed in conflict. He
further stated the state code requires the county to exempt
schools and playing fields, but it does not require the
county to exempt public facilities and other public
improvements from the calculations. He inquired why the
Planning Commission approved a version that exempts more than
the state code requires the county to exempt. He requested
that staff present a reasoning for what they did, with the
idea to go with the state code if the reasoning is not good
enough.
On motion of Ms. Durfee, seconded by Mr. Gecker, the Board
deferred decision on amendments to the zoning ordinance as it
relates to the planting, replacement and preservation of
trees in the Swift Creek Reservoir Watershed to September 24,
2008.
