At 7:30 P.M. the Board meets with the Chiefs of 11 Fire Deptst with
the exception of Chief Vincent from Midlothian.
Mike Lohr, Chief of the Manchester Fire Dept. discusses with the
Board the following problems:
1. The blocking of fire hydrants in Shopping Centers in
multi --family complexes and in some cases the lack of adequate
fire lanes at schools. lie suggested that the Board requests
the General Assembly to give the County authority to control
these hazards to adequate fire protection.
2. The Fire Department again makes a request to have fire
hydrants installed in multi -family areas before the group
is completed. Fir. Lohr cites examples of what happens
when this is not done.
3. A plea was rnadE-� to have the masonry walls or common walls
extend through the roof of Townhouse Projects ast least 6"
and cites reasons for same.
4. Fir. Lohr makes a request to implement Phase I of the Fire
Station by purchasing land in the vicinity of Rt.60 and
Buford Road.
5. It is requestedthat $1000.00 be paid to each Fire Company
to supplement funds on hand for the purchase of equipment
and needed accessories.
Upon consideration of these requestst it is on motion of Nir.
Apperson, seconded by Fir. Myers, resolved that the Commonwealth's
Attorney be requested to examine the statutes and to ascertain
how the General Assembly could grant to the County the right to
control parking in front of fire hydrants on private property.
The County Administrator is asked to contact members of the
General Assembly to seek relief in this situation.
Ayes: Mr.Horner, Fir.Myers, Mr. Apperson and Mr.O'Neill.

June 19, 1973 Revision
PROPOSED DELAYED SEWER POLICY
Section A. After the date of approval of this policy, every owner
and/or developer of a subdivision shall install, at his
expense, sanitary sewers to serve every lot in his sub-
division which has never had tentative approval by the
Planning Commission and in every lot of a subdivision,
or part thereof, for which a final plat has not been or
will not be submitted to the Planning Department under
current tentative approval. The sanitary sewers shall
be installed regardless of whether or not public sewer-
age is available to the lot(s) at the time of installa-
tion. This policy will not apply in (a) the Appomattox
River drainage area west of the Braswell Dam, (b) the
Swift Creek drainage area from Branders Bridge Road to
Bailey's Bridge Road, (c) the Swift Creek drainage area
north and west of Genito Road, Woolridge Road and Otter -
dale Road, when subdivisions in these drainage areas
have (1) a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet and
a minimum lot frontage of 125 feet when individual well
systems are used or (2) a minimum lot size of 20,000
square feet and a minimum lot frontage of 100 feet when
public water or central well systems are used. This
policy will also not apply to any subdivision in the
County which has similar minimum lot sizes and minimum
lot frontages.
M
19
Section B. Existing residences in delayed sewer subdivisions
shall connect to the public system within 120
days of notice of availability.
Section C. Subdivisions without public or delayed sewer shall
be zoned R-25 or R-40.
Section D. Change connection fees as follows:
1. New residence, in a subdivision, where the
lot will not pass a Health Department soil
evaluation, connected to sewer installed by
county - from $600 to $2000.

lot will pass a Health Department soil
evaluation, connected to sewer installed by
county - $600.
3. New residence, not in a subdivision, connected
to sewer installed by county - $600.
4. New residence connected to sewer installed by
developer - $300.
5. Existing residence, with existing septic tank

The objectives of a Dry Sewer Policy should be:
1 . Reduce the cost to the County of installing sewers in subdivisions.
2. Where dry sewers are not installed, require development of adequate size
lots to insure that County will not have to install sewers at a later date.
3. Have sewerage system designed at the same time subdivision is designed.
4. Put the buyer on notice that a subdivision not served by dry sewers can not
expect to receive sewer service if septic tank malfunctions. Consideration
should be given to a requirement that in all subdivisions recorded after a
certain date, the residents be required to finance any sewer service by
charging adequate connection fees and monthly service charges to amortize the
cost.
5. Reduce the possibility of health hazards.
6. Reduce the damage and inconvenience to streets, utilities and private
property.
7. Acquire easements at time of development.

Fire protection offered by the Chesterfield Fire

hydrants and water mains in service during con-

When hydrants are placed in service, they should

Dear Irvin:

ERNEST P. GATES
JUDGE
DAVIO MEAOE WHITE
JUDGE
Discussion with our Building Inspector has indicated to me that
the section within our townhouse ordinance relative to party walls
is ambiguous and should be clarified. The existing ordinance reads
as follows:
'_--:�,Partx Wall. A solid common party wall. shall separate each
townhouse unit,•have a minimum thickness of eight inches
and shall be constricted of non-combustible material from
the foundation to at least six inches above the roof.line,
and shall conform to the minimum standards established by
state law for approved fire walls and/or provide further
that the roof sheathing and supports tre constructed of
fire retardant materials four (4) feet on each side of the
party wall to have a two-(2) hour fire resistance rating.
In order to effect a tight seal between top of party wall and
underside of roof sheathing, a two by eight plate made fire
retardant by the pressure impregnation process so as to
produce a flame spread of not more than 25 shall be secured to
the top of the party wall by the use of one half (1/2) inch
by twelve (12) inch anchor bolts spaced not more than (6)
feet - (0) zero inches on center, with plate to be bedded in
mortar.
I suggest that this portion of the ordinance be amended to read
as follows:
.Party Wall. A conunon party wall having a two hour fire
resistance rating shall separate each townhouse unit, have
a minimum thickness of eight _�-nches and shall be constructed
of non-combustible material from the foundation to the roof

Dear ,sir. Ritz:
Under Article to 'ro:anhouses for Sale, Section 10-16, provides two
(2) diff--reat methods of obtaining fire resistance between each
unit.
is there any way which the second part of section 10-16 Party
,,all could be deleted, so that all townhouse units for sale
could be totally seperated by a continuous wall thru the roof?
iiith normal construction methods it is very difficult if not
impossible to obtain the type of seal regUirod to prevent spars
and super heated bases from being forced thru any small openings
that might be left at the terminus of the wall.
It appears to me that where wo have units for sale, the County
r:ot:ld ;,.;��,�: some ob? l ation to protect one rzn�s family from
