UTILITIES
Public Water and Wastewater Systems:
The request site is currently connected to the public water and wastewater systems. This
request will not impact the public utility systems.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains via tributaries to the Appomattox River. The Department of
Environmental Engineering has no problems with the proposal as the overall site has
been approved for stormwater run-off quantity and quality compliance, as well as erosion
and sediment control. There are no anticipated problems after development.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Dutch Gap Fire Station, Company Number 14 and Bensley-Bermuda Volunteer
Rescue Squad currently provide fire protection and emergency medical service (EMS).
This request will have a minimal impact on Fire and EMS.
County Department of Transportation:
This request will have a minimal impact on area roads.
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT~:
VDOT has no objection to the request if no new connections to state maintained right-of-
way are made.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Consolidated Eastern Area
Plan, which suggests the property is appropriate for general commercial use.
Area Development Trends:
Area properties are zoned General Commercial (C-5) and Light and Moderate Industrial (I-1
and I-2) and are occupied by commercial and industrial use. It is anticipated that general
commercial uses will continue as suggested by the Plan.
12SN0197-MAY23-BOS-RPT
Current Proposal:
The request property is being developed with the motor vehicle sales business (Priority
Volkswagen which opened a new dealership last year). The request property (located behind
the dealership) is planned for another car dealership. Until that occurs, the applicant
proposes to use the property for a parking area for car storage. Paving, curb and gutter are
required for parking areas by the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant requests an exception to
theses standards to permit a gravel surface, but has agreed to pave the parking area once any
new building(s) is built or within four (4) years of the approval of this request, whichever
occurs first (Textual Statement). Therefore, the gravel area will be removed within an
acceptable period of time and will not have a substantial impact on area commercial and
industrial uses.
CONCLUSION
The proposed land use conforms to the recommendations of the Consolidated Eastern Area Plan,
which suggests the property is appropriate for general commercial use. Conditions ensure that the
gravel surface is temporary and will be paved in accordance with ordinance requirements as
additional development occurs. As conditioned, the gravel overflow parking will not substantially
impact area properties.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (4/17/12):
The applicant accepted the recommendation. There was no opposition present.
On motion of Mr. Patton, seconded by Mr. Waller, the Commission recommended
approval and acceptance of the proffered condition on page 2.
AYES: Messrs. Gulley, Waller, Brown, Patton and Wallin.
The Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 beginning at 6:30 p.m., will take under
consideration this request.
