SUBJECT: General Policy for Subdivision Drainage
DATE: April 14, 1970
It is recognized that the public demand for adequate drainage within
and adjacent to subdivisions requires the attention of qualified professionals
to the problems of design, construction and maintenance of these subdivisions.
In this light, it is desired that engineers seek and apply the most up to date
technical information available and treat every problem separately in ~rder ~
to obtain t~e best design possible. However, in order to obtain a degree of
uniformity and orderly development in the County, it is necessary that certain
phases of design and construction be made a matter of policy.
The following memoranda contain certain specific requirements based
on State Codes, County Codes, Ordinances, Resolutionsand Policies as well as
specific standards of the Virginia Department of Highways. Also, certain guide
lines for design are set forths however~ these are not to be considered so
complete that non-engineers can reach conclusive determinations through their
use.
As new and better basic design criteria becomes available and as
State and County regulations change, subsequent memoranda will be issued to
either supplement or repeal existing requirements. Unless otherwise stated
herein, all work and materials shall conform to the most current editions of the
"Road and Bridge Specifications" and the "Road Designs and Standards" of the
Virginia Department of Highways.

Use arrows to indicate direction of flow on all roads, ditches, pipes, etc.
6. Sheet Size:
a. Tracings or original plan sheets shall be 24" x
shall be 22" x 36~. Borders shall be as follows:
Cut print size
Right side 3/4"
Left side 1-3/4"
Top & Bottom 1/2"
SUBJECT: Curb and Gutter
Curb and gutter shall be required for all new development in all zone districts
of RA~ Ri, R2, C1 and C2 zoning under the following conditions:
1. Any subdivision with 25% or more of the lots having a
frontage at the building line of less than 80' shall
have curb and gutter on all new streets.
20
When development is on only one side of an existing street,
curb and gutter will be required only on that side.
SUBJECT:
On any street that has longitudinal grades of less than 11
for an accumulated distance of more than 150' 8etween inter-
sections must have curb and gutter.
Whenever curb and gutter becomes a requirement, the County may
allow the owner to substitute paved ditches~in accordance with
memoranda numbers 6~ 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Flood Plains
1. G ener~:
The computation of flood plain areas (land subject to inundation by
flood waters) is to be given serious consideration by engineers
who are skilled in and familiar with this particular type of
engineering problem. It is expected that all flood plaimsshall be
delineated based on the balance of energy concept of computing water
surface profiles. The engineer shall submit complete documentation
of all computations for flood plains which shall include:
a. Topography of the contributing watershed, profiles of the
reach of stream in question~ cross sections of the stream in
questiom and data concerning any constructions or control points
which may affect the flow.
b. Runoff computations based on either the "Rational Formula" or
other suitable method.
c. Water surface profile computations.*
Flood plains computations will be made whenever the contributing watershed is
greater than 100 acres, however, certain instances may necessitate such
computations for smalled areas. The computations should reflect development
trends in the upstream watershed 20 years h~nce in selecting a design
discharge.

2. "Hydrologic and Hydraulic ~alyses"
Engineering Manual 110-2-1409 Department

When computations aremade by electronic computer the Engineer need not submit
computations, however, the County Engineer should be informed of what program
was used and~ if not previously approved, a printout of the program should be
provided.
OFF-SITE DRAINAGE
A d~finite increase in the amount and rate of storm run-off is usually
associated with land development. This increase causes an imbalance in the
natural waterways established by nature which must be given due consideration
to prevent downstream flooding and damage. It is intended that whenever it
can be ascertained that such damage is likely to occur to existing downstream
facilities, that reasonable improvements be ma~e. In this the land developer
is expected to provide these improvements only when they are "necessary" for
his development. The County does not require off-site improvements except
as desdribed below. The County of Chesterfield,however, does not assume any
liability for damage which may be caused by developments..
The intent is that the developer shall provide facilities
within the limits of his property, which shall be constructed
to drain on-site runoff and estimated future upstream run-off.
When it becomes necessary to alter the outfall condition from
a development to an off-site point~ by lowering the existing
grade~ the off-site improvement required shall be considered
as "necessary" for on-site development.
When it is ascertained that downstream off-site damage is likely~ the
County will study ~nd initiate corrective projects as funds become available
for their accomplishment.
DESIGN FREQUENCY
1. Culverts' under primary roads - minimum of 25 year design.
2. Culverts under secondarY roads - minimum of 10 year design°
3. Storm sewers and open channels - minimum of 10 year design.
4. Curb and gutter and drop inlets - minimum of 2 year design.
5. Flood plains -varies (generally 100 year for residential).
6. Structures or channels for erosion - generally use the 2
or 10 year design to determine if erosion is probable
EROSION CONTROL
Ail open channels~ culvert outlets, ~c. are to be checked to determine
the probability of erosion. When erosion is indicated a permanent type of
control is to be used. When channels are paved~ due consideration shall be
given to the problem of overtopping. Paved, open channels should be as
straight as possible with no sharp changes in alignment and should be designed
to contain at least the 10 year storm w,itbout overtopping.
HYDROLOGY
within subdivisions and commercial developments the "Rational Formula"
will generally be considered reliable for computing peak run-off. For large
watersheds of 200 acres or larger Other methods should be investigated as a
check:
Q = CIA
Where
Q-Peak discharge~ CFS
C-Run-off ratio
I=Rainfall intensity, in./hr.
A=Drainage area~ acres
The run-off ratio (C) shall be arrived at by giving due consideration to
the existing or the expected use of the land within the watershed 10 years
hence. The values of ~ shown in Part Aof the Appendix may be used as a guide
unless calculations are made to indicate that higher or lower values should
be used.
The rainfall intensity (I) should be determined from the ~chmond area
curve shown in Part B of the Appendix. Accurate use of this graph is highly
dependent upon the estimate of the time of concentratbn (Tc).
Tc may be estimated by using the charts on pages 68 and 69 of the
"Drainage Manual" of the Virginia Department of Highways~ 1967 edition.
OPEN CHANNELS:
Open channels within subdivisions of ~R~ 1 and R-2 zoning will not be
allowed therein except under the following conditions:
1. Whenever the longitudinal slope is less than 0~75%~ the
channel shall be paved.
2. Whenever the velocity of flow of the 2-year storm exceeds
the values shown in Part ~ of the Appendix, the channel
shall be paved to the depth of the 10-year storm.
3. Whenever the depth of the channel from the invert to the
top of the side slopes (when the side slopes are 3:1 or
steeper) exceeds 2.5', the flow shall be piped. However~
should the required pipe size exceed a 60 inch in diameter
round pipe (or equivalent) the pipe will not be required
and the open channel will be approved (with the design of
the channel subject to the County Engineer's approval).
Open channels within zones other than Rl-and R2 'shall be
allowed subject to conditions 1 and 2 in the preceding paragraph.
All open channels which require paving should be paved with
Class A3 concrete in accordance with Virginia Department of Highways Standards
and ~ecifications. Asphalt paved channels in accordance with Virginia
Department of Highways Standards and Specifications may be accepted within road
rights of way only. Channel side slopes which are not to be paved shall be
seeded until a good stand of grass is obtained.
A table of Suggestee "N" or fri=tion factors is shown in Part F of
the Appendix. When computing the velocity of flow to determine if erosion
is likely, a friction factor of 0.03 .shall be used with the Manning formula.
When the paving is terminated in an open channel~ adequat~ safe-
gUards should be provided to prevent erosion. A eut-off wall should always
be provided for on the plans and should be supplemented with ri-rap where
necessary. Generally, whenever the outlet velocity from a pipe or paved
channel is 10 F.P.S. or greater, some type of erosion control will be required.
CULVERTS:
A. Culverts at Road Crossings
The minimum size culvert for a road crossing shall be 15 inches in diameter.
Culverts shall be designed using the methods and charts of the U.S.Bureau of
Public Roads~ Circular Number 5. Generally the depth of submergence of
culverts should not be greater than 1.5 times the vertical dimension of the
culvert, however, the amount of inundation of upstream area should be a prime
fa=tor influencing the selection of the allowable depth.
B. Entrance Culverts
Ail entrance culve?ts will be noted on the plans as to size and type of
material. Ail entrance culverts are to be installed in accordance with part C
of the Appendix.
Ail materials for culvert pipe shall conform with the standards and
specifications of the Virginia Highway Department.
When the calculated outlet velocity for any culvert becomes greater
than the allowable velocity ( see page 172 of the "Drainage Manual) of the
Virginia ~partment of Highways~ 1967 edition) consideration shall be given to
providing erosion control.
STORM SEWERS
Storm sewers as defined in Memoranda Number 14 shall be designed to
flow less than full for the design storm. On occasions when the first pipe
in a storm sewer is projecting from a fill or extending into a channel that
pipe should be designed as a culvert to determine the headwater depth.
When there is a change in pipe sizes at a manhole of a storm sewer
system, the practice of matching crowns of the two piDes shall be followed.
Generally~ a decrease in pipe size in the downstream direction shall not be
allowed. The minimum sizes of pipe to be used will be 12 inch where the
distance between access openings is 50 feet or less and 15 inch where access
openings exceed 50 feet.
There shall be a minimum of 1 foot cover from the bottom of curb
to top of pipe when pipe is in street right-of-way and a minimum of 2 feet
cover from finished ground surface to top of pipe when outside of street
right-of-way unless otherwise approved by the County Engineer.
Ail materials for pipes and appurtenances shall conform-to the current
standards and specifications of the Virginia Highway Department.
Curb inlets shall be designed for the 2 year~ 15 minute storm with a
maximum allowable spread from the face of the curb of 8 feet. Flow in curb
and gutter streets shall not be allowed to cross intersections on the surface
when the spread in the upstream gutter is greater than 6 feet. hen flow is
allowed to cross intersections on the surface~ use shall be made of a valley
gutter with a width of at least 8 feet.
Ail driveways entrance shall be paved at least 3~ feet back from the face
of the curb. The elevation of the driveway 3~ feet from the face of the curb
shall be not less than the elevation of the top of curb. Curb cuts may be made
at the time of lot development.
PERFORMAMCE BONDS
Each set of plans aubmitted for approval shall be accompanied by an
itemized cost estimate for the purpose of determining the amount of bond to be
furnished the County. This bond will be due on the date that the subdivision
is to be recorded or (for site developments) when a building permit is to be
issued.
The cost estimate shall include all drainage pipet catch basins, etc.,all
paved channels, road construction items, grading items, stone points, etc.~
which will be located in a public right-of-way or easement.
Performance bonds or guarantee bonds will be accepted by the County from
the landowner, the developer or the contractor. Where several contractors
are ~knvolved, the bond will be accepted by the County from only one prime
contractor, the landowner~ or the developer. Bonds will remain in effect for
a maximum period of one year, after improvements are inspected and approved by
the ~unty.
ROAD DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Ail road design and construction is to be in accordance with the
following letter except for the items listed below:
A minimum right-of-way width of 50 feet must be dedicated
to the County. A minimum right-of-way width of 40 feet may
be accepted along the perimeter of the property robe developed.~
The owner of the adjoining property shall dedicate the additional
right-of-way when his property is developed.
2. On roads without curb and gutter the minimum pavement width is
24 feet ( two lanes each 12 feet wide).
Water and sewer utilities ( to include service laterals)
and other utilities approved by the County shall be installed
before the base material is placed.
The developer (or his representative) shall be responsible for
contacting the Virginia ~ighway Department to have the base material and
subgrade approved by that department. This should be done before the road
is surfaced and must be done before the roads are accepted by the State for
maintenance.
On motion of Mr. Dietsch~ seconded by Mr. Apperson~ it is resolved that this
Board requests the Commonwealth's Attorney to review the Section in the
Drainage Policy concerning "Performance Bonds" and to write same as an amendment
to present County ordinance and to submit a suggested ordinance for further
study.

The Board recesses for dinner.
Reconvening -
The Chairman calls the meeting to order explaining that this is to be a public
hearing on the budget for the year 1970-'71. The Executive Secretary read a
brief statement concerning the budget and explains briefly the scope of the
budget. There w~re in attendance approximately 300 people interested in the
County budget.
Mr. Robert M. Shellenbarger, President of the County P.T.A.Council states that
his organization chose to have one speaker. He states that the $10,680,686.00
request of the School Board is a bare-boned budget~ that the 1968 average family
income for Chesterfield is $11,000 per family, that industry looking for new
locations 'is looking for premium schools, that it may be schools are more
important than airports, that male teachers will not be attracted because of
this pay scale, that instructional material would be reduced, children will
learn less when t~ere is two and one-half times more to learn than a few years
agoo
Mrs. Dawn Campbe~l~ President C.E.A.introduced Mrs. Elsie Elmore, who presents
a prepared paper citing certain ways in which the County can produce its revenue,
including a utility tax, eliminating $100,000 exemptions in Business License
rates~ raising business licenses, raising machinery tax, adjusting Personal
Property taxes,and finally makes a plea to change the form of government.
Mro J.W. Bagwell states that he speaks for 25 families, that the Board of
Supervisors is fair in its treatment of the School Board and the citizens of
the Coun.ty are satisfied that this is the best budget possible under the
e~isting conditions.
Mrs. George Eib states that previous cuts have affected the procurement of vital
equipment including library books.
Mr. George H. Heller states that he is constantl~trying to meet the need of new
programs that cannot get text books and equipment and states that there exists
a gap in communication between the School Board and the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. James E. Taylor criticizes the lack .o~ maid service, the coordination of
purchasing and no transportation for athletes.
Mrs. Medelyn Martin states that 'she needs projector equipment, kindergarten
furniture, necessary books and a clerk for the School.
Mr. Donald Tucker, Psychologist for the School Board, states that there are not
eough Psychologists to do the Job.
Mrs. Dawn Campbell suggess that charges be placed on all students, including
book fees, library fees, that they purchase consumable equipment, that no class
be taught for less than 10 students, except special education and request
those in attendance who are teachers to stand. Approximately 80% of those
attending stood.
Mrs. Nancy Clements states that there is a difference in the amount of supplies
to the various schools, but she does not know whether the budget should be cut
or not but does believe that there is something wrong with the system.
Mrs. Carolyn Baker, Miss Susie Rivers, Mrs. W. C. Nelson, Mr. George H. Cosby,
Mr. Bob Bradham~ Mr. Clyde Ellis~ Mrs. Lipman, Mr. Thomas Schokcley, Mr. Cain,
Mr. Peter Tranconia and Mr. C.J.Parrish, all speak in behalf of appropriating
more money for education.
Mr. C.E.Hawkins states that his taxes have gone up due to increased assessments,
that it is not going to eliminate the problems in the school system by constantly
doling out money~ that he appreciates the actions of the Board of Supervisors in
cutting the School budget at this time.
Mr. Apperson states that he believes that the Board has suggested a budget that
will allow the School Board to operate at its present level, cites the decrease
in appropriations from the State and Federal Governments, review the suggestions
of MrS. Elmore concerning the increased revenues.
Mr, Purdy,states that taxes in the County of Chesterfield have been raised but
contrary to some statements made all were being taxed the same under State law;
that many people speak of encouraging new industry to locate in the County and this
could certainly not be accomplished by raising the industrial tax rate; that
this is an unfortunate situation robe in when in the proposed budget Federal
Funds for schools have been reduced 34.7%~ State Funds for schools have been
decreased 29.1% and the County's decrease has been only 4.6%, all due to a
20.9% reduction in the n~mber of pupils due to annexation.
Upon further consideration whereof and on motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by
Mr. Purdy, it is resolved that:
WHEREAS, a tentative budget for the County of Chesterfield in'the amount
of $41,624~588.00 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1971,was advertised in
the Richmond Times-Dispatch on April 16~ 1970 and April 22, 1970 was set as the
date of a public hearing on said budget.
THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED~ that this Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield
County, Virginia, held public hearings in accordance with the resolution passed
on April 8~ 1970 for informative purposes on a contemplated budget for the fiscal
year 1970-'71. This budget is for informative and fiscal planning purposes and
it is not approved, adopted or ratified by the Board of Supervisors.
Upon a vote being taken on the resolution, those viting for the resolution -
Mr. Browning, Mr. Apperson~ Mr. Homer, Mr, Purdy and Fir. Martin.
Voting against the resolution - Mr. Dietsch.
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Browning~ it is resolved that this Board
doth fix as tentative County and District levies for the year 1970 on each
$100.00 assessed and liable for such levies for the purpose, of meeting the
requirements of the County budget, to-wit:
Real
Estate
Bermuda Magisterial Dist. $3.10 $3 40

0.00 65¢
The above levies shall also apply on the real estate and tangible personal
property of Public Service Corporations within the County based on the assessment
fixed by the State Corporation Commission. All of the Board members vote Aye.
Mr. Purdy submits to the Board a map dividing the County of Chesterfield into
five (5) Magistrial Districts and states that each district will be virtually
the same as they are now with the exception of Manchester and Clover Hill.
The growth potential of each area should be equal and that five (5) Magisterial
Districts would eliminate a tie vote on the Board of Supervisors.
Upon consideration whereof, and on motion of Flr. Purdy, seconded by Mr. Browning,
be it resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County, Virginia,
that the redistricting petition filed .in the Circuit Court of this County on
April 1, 1970 i~'nd the plan of redistricting attached thereto be contested by
this Board and to that end the Commonwealth's Attorney is directed to present
to the Court on or before May 11, 1970 a certified copy of this resolution
and plan attached hereto, that the Board of Supervisors of Chesterfield County
becomes a party defendant to said redistricting petition, that the Commonwealth's
Attorney is authorized to do all things necessary to see that the requests of
the Board of Supervisors as set forth in this resolution be met.
It is here noted that Mr. Dietsch votes Nay and stats that if the number of
districts be'.~ changed it should go to s.even instead of five.
i / Xecutive S ecre'taby
On motion of Mr. Apperson, seconded by Mr. Browning, it is resolved that this
meeting be adjourned at 11:15 P.M. until May 13, ~ at 9:00 A.M.
