proffers the development of the Property as identified in the application subject to the conditions

Public Water System:
The site is located within the Meadowville Water Pressure Zone. There is an existing
eight (8) inch water line extending along North White Mountain Drive that terminates
approximately 600 feet from the request site. Use of the public water system is required
per the approved tentative plans for Mount Blanco on the James.
Public Wastewater S,, sue:
The request site is within the Johnson's Creek Sewer Service Area. There is an existing
eight (8) inch wastewater line extending along North White Mountain Drive that
terminates approximately 700 feet from the site. Use of the public wastewater system is
required per the approved tentative plans for Mount Blanco on the James.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains directly east and into the James River. The James River is a
perennial stream and, as such, is subject to a 100 foot conservation buffer inside of which
uses are very limited. Any development of the property will require a Water Quality
Impact Assessment (WQIA) per Chesterfield's Chesapeake Bay Ordinance.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Enon Volunteer Fire Station, Company Number 6, and the Rivers Bend Fire Station,
Company Number 18, currently provide fire protection and emergency medical service
(EMS).
This request will have a minimal impact on Fire and EMS. Existing access is acceptable
until Phase 3 of the Mount Blanco Subdivision brings paved roads to the boat landing. Fire

protection issues for any future boat storage will be addressed at site plan. (Proffered
Condition d.).
County Department of Transportation:
This proposed development (recreational facilities) will have a minimal impact on the
existing transportation network.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT):
VDOT has no comment on this request.
T ,ANn T 1~F,
Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Consolidated Eastern Area
Plan, which suggests the property is appropriate for residential use of 1.5 dwellings per
acre or less.
Area Development Trends:
Area properties to the north, south and west are zoned Residential (R-15) and are occupied
by single-family dwellings or are vacant. Adjacent properties to the north and west are
included as part of an approved tentative subdivision plat for Mount Blanco on the James,
extending from North Enon Church Road east to the James River and north of Mount
Blanco Road. It is anticipated that the proposed recreational amenities will serve this
development in addition to the Meadowville Landing community.
Recreational Facilities:
The proposed recreational facilities could include boat and water-related facilities,
playground areas, outdoor play fields, courts, swimming pools, and similar active
recreational areas primarily serving the Mount Blanco and Meadowville Landing
subdivisions. The proffered conditions will minimize the impact of these facilities on current
and future area residents in the area and are similar to conditions imposed on other projects.
CONCLUSION
The proposed uses will provide for neighborhood amenities for area residential developments. The
proffered conditions address land use compatibility between the proposed uses and existing and
proposed area residential development
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
