Tax Map 175-13 (1) Parcels i & 2 (Shee~ 49). AC~G~, EXIST~G ZONING, EXISTING ~ USE (SUB,CT P~CEL)": Thi~"parcei contains 117 acres, is zoned AgriCult~al (A) and is wooded and vacant. ADJACENT ~D A~ ZONING ~D ~D USE: Property %o the northwest is zoned Residential (R-7) and is being developed as Shadowbrook ~eigh%s S~- division. Property to the north is zoned Agricultural (A) and is either vacant or Occupied by single f~ily dwellings. Property %o the northeast, across Branders Bridge Road, is zoned-Residential (R-7) and is being developed as Brookside Subdivision. Property to the east is zoned Agricultural (A) and is vacant except for the Sou~ern Coastline Railroad which runs along the eastern ~o~dry of this property. Property to the south is zoned Residential (R-7) and is occupied by Dupuy Court Subdivision;- UTILITIES, SOIL PROFILE, D~INAGE ~ EROSION, ~QUI~D OFF-SITE ~S~NTS: Water is available to serve this property and sewer sh0uld be available by the s~er of 1977. The Applic~t states ~at the proposed s~divison will cOntain 326 single f~ily dwellings. ~ '~ "~' The Utilities Depar~ent reports that an average single f~ily residence uses 240 gallons of Water per day; therefore, 7~,240 gallons per day would be utilized by this development.-~These per ~nit'flows are not .line design flows, because peak flow plus fire se~ice flow must be considered for design purposes. There is ~ available wa%er %reagent capacity of 22 million gallons per day from the Appomattox Water Authority serving this a~ea with 1 to 2 million gallons per day being used. There ~s a 16 inch water'line located along Branders Bridge Road at the northern property line of this parcel. The Cowry Engineer calculates per capita sewage flow at 100 gallons per day for design pu~oses. Based on an.average of 3.5 persons per single f~ily dwelling unit, approximately 114,100 gallons per day of sewage effluent would be generated for trea~ent ~ the proposed su~- division. These sewage trea~ent figures are greater than the water used because of infiltration and inflow.- This property lies in the Old To~ Creek and Colonial Heights Sewage Drainage area. The closest trunk sewer ~s locate~ along Old To~ Creek, but as mentioned previously, will not ~e operational ~til the s~er of 1977. The sewer trunk will serve this project and will connect to %he Petersburg ~rea~ent Plant. The''comple~ion of the urunk sewer to this prope..y is dependent upon · Colonial Heights and their construction, of sewer which will tie into the sewer trunk for this property. The soils on this parcel are sandy ..loam and land wet~ gently sloping and have only a slight chance for erosion. Thirty to forty percent of .~. the parcel has wet soils with a'seasonal water table at 18 inches less, and are ]~oorlY suited for building foundations and roadways Minimum lot' sizes :.(7,000 square feet) whic~ would "be permitted the used of public .utilities, will not'allow a Well ~rained building..~'? site for each lot. · A field evaluation for each lot should be conducted in low areas to determine drainage.needs for each structure (see ~,~_;~ ~,.~:,..,.. -. This parcel 1~es ~n'the Old Town Creek Drainage area. There are p{esent- ly on-and off-site drainage and erosion problems throughout the general area of this request. Because of topography and the types of soil ?~ present on this parcel, diaina~e and erosion problems are anticipated during development of this 'project. Prior to clearing or construction, a site plan and erosion control.~plan must be submitted to ~nd approved Off-site drainage easements will be required. · .... ~?,~ ~. ~ ~UBLIC FACILITIES:' Based on the 1977 average of 0.90 public school students per single family dwelling, approXimately 293 students would be gen- erated by this development.' This subdivision is now within.~the Ettrick Elementary and. Matoaca Junior Hich .aDd High SchoOl attendance zones.~ This subdivision wil~l be served by the Ettrick Fire Station, Company 912, which is operated by County employees and is located 2 miles from the subject property. Adequate fire service capability can be provided if public water is used and fire hydrants are provided. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: 'Single family development under the prOPosed plan would result in the generation of approximately 3,195 average daily traffic based on an estimate of 9.8 trips .per single family r&sidenc These vehicular movements would be distributed over Woodpecker Road,. Dupuy Road and Branders Bridge Road which are the primary roads fo=~~.. carrying traffic' north towards the Courthouse or east and southeast toward Jefferson Davis ~ighway or the Village of Ettrick. Presently, there are only two accesses to this'property clearly defined; one off Branders Bridge Road and one off Woodpecker Road. Prior-to the full development of this pro4ect- additional access.roads will be.required. It should be noted that {n the Highway Department,s 1976 Primary and Secondary.Road Traffic Counts. the'followin~ average daily traffic on area roads have been experienced: a. Branders B~idge Road,.from Weldon ROad to Lakeview Avenue .. 1,391 ADT;. . ..'~ ',-.t .b. Branders Bridge Road, fr0m-Weldon Street to'Colonial Heights - 1,594 ADT; .... ... c. Woodpecker Road, from Dupuy Road to Rosewood Lane - 2,520 ADT; d. Woodpecker Road, from Dupuy Road to Thelma Avenue - 825 ADT; e. Woodpecker Road, from.Dupuy Road to River' Road - 2,186 ADT. Staff finds.that the condition of Branders Bridge Road, Woodpecker Road and Dupuy Road in the urea of the request range- from fair to pool, ~ith no planned improvements in the near future. Staff notes thai the proposed location for the Temple Avenue extension runs through the' center 6f'th~s parcel. GENERAL PLAN: This parcel lies in an area designated for single family t£ ~ ~ residen al use.. . ~ .~? ..... REQUEST ANALYSIS: In this case, the Applicant, who is the owner of this~'/'~['I property, plans to subdivide this parcel for single family residential''~ use and create 326 building lots. The attached subdivision plan will be presented to the Planning Commission for their approval on April 26, "" 1977.

He notes that the" mimimum lot size will be 10,450 square feet, maximum lot size, 41,160" square feet, with an average lot size of 12,000 square feet. ALTERNATIVES AND MITIGATING MEASURES: Staff reviewed this request and notes that Old Town Creek lies along the western boundry of the subject .parcel. Shadowbrook Heights lies north of this property, is zoned Residential (R-7) and is being developed with 64 single family dwellings.. Brookside Subdivision lies northeast of this project, along the north- east line of Branders Bridge Road, is zoned Residential (R-7) and will / be developed with 74 single family dwellings. To the south of the subject property, lie the subdivisions of Dupuy Court, L. A. Reynolds Property, Chesterfield Place and W. W. Mason Estates. These are old subdivisions which have an average lot size from 9~000 to 15,000 square feet. The vacant property to the north, east and southwest of the ' subject parcel is zoned Agricultural (A) and is undeveloped. These properties are large properties and have a good potential for future subdivision. In view of the large vacant parcels lying northeast and southwest of ~he project; the average lot size of existinu subdivisions (9,000 to 15,000 square feet); the average lot size of those which are proposed (20,000 square feet); and the soil conditions on this property, Staff believes that'the Commission may wish to'consider recommending either the R-9 or R-12 classification.
