02SN0259-Nov25.pdf4 Where Are We Growir~g?
The area's population is projected to continue to grow rapidly, it has been estimated that another
124,588 people will be added during this decade, bringing, the total population to more than 1.21
million by 2010.3 If the growth rate of the past decade were to continue, there would be over 1.5
million residents by 2030, almost double the population in 1990.
Population trends have varied widely among localities, and the distribution of population also is.
changing as the metropolitan area spreads farther out. Some localities have experienced tremendous
population growth, while others have seer~ their nnmbers decline.

The localities that have added the most residents are the suburban counties of Chesterfield, Henrico,
and Hanover. These counties were among the ten most rapidly growing localities in Virginia between
1990 and 2000, and they accounted for almost all of the population
growth in the region. This pattern has been true for sonde time.
Chesterfield County, for example, has seen its population more
than triple since 1970, and Hanover County's population has more
than doubled since then.

In percentage terms, Powhatan, Hanover, and New Kent have
seen their population rise the fastest, as the next ring of counties
farther away from center cities begin to see greater growth.
In contrast, the population of the City of Richmond declined by
2.6% between 1990 and 2000, a drop of over 5,000 residents. The
City of Hopewell lost 3.2% of its population while the City of
Petersburg suffered the second highest percentage population
decrease of any Virginia locality during the past ten years, losing
over 12% of its population. The City of Colonial Heights is the only
city in the region whose population increased during the past
decade, growing by 5.2% between 1990 and 2000.

Swift Creek Partners, LLC
Matoaca Magisterial District
North line of Otterdale Road
REQUEST: (AMENDED) Rezoning from Agricultural (A) to Residential (R-12) of 234.7 acres
with Conditional Use to allow private recreational facilities on 9.0 acres of the 234.7
acre site.
PROPOSED LAND USE:
A single family residential subdivision with a maximum of 379 lots is planned,
yielding a density of approximately 1.6 units per acre. In addition, recreation
facilities to serve residents of the proposed development are planned.
On November 25, 2003, the applicants submitted revised and additional proffered conditions to those
considered by the Planning Commission. Some of these revisions were prompted by the intent to
develop a coordinated plan for the subject property and the property which is the subject of Case
04SN0116. Other amendments are intended to address some of the concerns of area residents.
SINCE THESE AMENDMENTS WERE NOT SUBMITTED PRIOR TO ADVERTISEMENT
OF THE CASE, THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO SUSPEND THE PROCEDURES TO
CONSIDER THE CHANGES.
The applicants have indicated that should the Board not suspend the procedures, they desire for the
Board to consider amendments that were received on November 10, 2003, prior to advertisement of
the case. Staff would note that the November 10t~ proffers contain omissions and technical errors.
Staff would not support their acceptance. The recently submitted proffers address those errors as
well as some of the concerns expressed by area residents. (Note: The November 10, 2003, proffers
are attached.)
Proffered Condition 1 has been amended to increase the number of lots from 350 to 379 as a result of
reducing the number of lots proposed by Case 04SN0116 by twenty-nine (29) lots and the relocation
Providing a FIRST CHOICE Community Through Excellence in Public Service.
of proposed recreation facilities from the subject property to the property which is the subject of
Case 04SN0116.
Proffered Condition 4 has been amended to require dedication of a Residential Collector Street
through the property to the property which is the subject of Case 04SN0116 and to the eastern
property line in anticipation of the extension of Fox Club Parkway. Proffered Condition 7.b. has
been amended to require construction of these roads.
Proffered Condition 11 was revised due to the changes in the residential collector street to reference
"the residential collector street" as opposed to "Fox Club Parkway Extended".
Condition 17 has been deleted which required that certain recreational facilities be constructed on the
subject property prior to recordation of more than 300 lots. Those requirements are now proposed to
be placed on the companion Case 04SN0116. Proffers have been renumbered accordingly.
Proffered Condition 20 (renumbered 19)has been amended to exempt the "Residential Collector
Street" from being constructed with concrete curb and gutter.
Proffered Condition 21 requiting initial access to Otterdale Road has been deleted thereby further
requiting renumbering of the remaining proffers.
Proffered Conditions 22 (renumbered 20) and 23 (renumbered 21) have been amended to reference
"Fox Club Parkway Extended" as opposed to "Fox Club Parkway"; to require construction of Fox
Club Parkway Extended; to correct a typographical error referencing "least" to "last"; and adding to
Proffered Condition 23 (renumbered 21) a note that the prohibition to opening "Fox Club Parkway
Extended" to traffic tmtil the road is paved does not apply to construction traffic necessary to install
utilities and construct the road.
Proffered Conditions 23 through 26 have been added requiring side or rear loaded garages; initial
access through the property which is the subject to Case 04SN0116 to Woolridge Road; a twenty-
five (25) foot tree preservation strip adjacent to the eastern boundary of the common open space
adjacent to Foxcrofi Subdivision; and a limitation on phosphorous runoff until such time as the
County obtains its initial permit for the impletnentation of the Upper Swirl Creek Watershed Plan.
Staff continues to recommend approval of this request for the reasons outlined in the "Request
Analysis and Recommendation". Further, staffrecommends acceptance of the revised and additional
proffered conditions.

property. Within these two (2) areas, the 100-year floodplain.must remainin its natural state
except for limited road crossings perpendicular to the creeks. Disturbance during installation
of sanitary sewers must also be minimized.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fire, school, library, park and transportation facilities is identified in the .Public
Facilities'Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital Improvement Program. This develOpment will
have an impact on these facilities.
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Plan indicates that emergency service calls are expectedto increase
fortyrfive (45) percent, by 2015. Eight (8) new fire/rescue stations are recommended for
construction by 2015 in the Plan. Based on 350 dwelling units, this request will generate
approximately fifty-three (53:) calls for fire and EMS services each year. The applicant has
addressed the impact on fire-service. (Proffered Condition 12)
The Clover Hill Fire/Rescue Station, Company Number 7 and Manchester Volunteer Rescue
Squad-currently provide fire protection and emergency medical service. 'When the Property
is developed, the number of hYdrants, quantity'of water needed for fire protection and access
requirements will be evaluated during the plans review process.
Schools:
Approximately 185 students will be generated by this development, This. site lies in the
Woolridge Elementary School .attendanCe zone: capacity - 750, enrollment - 800; Swift
Creek Middle School zone: capacity - 1,200, enrollment - 1,443; and: Clover Hill High
school zone: capacity- 1;600, enrollment- 1,877.

SwiftCreek Middle and eleven (11) trailers at Clover Hill High. :The applicant has agreed to
participate in the cost of providing for area school needs. (Proffered Condition 12)
13 02sN0259-NOV25-BOS
Libraries:
Consistent' with the Board of Supervisors' policy, the impact of development on library
services is assessed County,wide. Based on projected population growth, the Public
Facilities Plan identifies a need for additional library space throUghout the County. Even if
the facility improvements that have been made since the Public Facilities Plan was published
are taken into account, there is still an unmet-need for additional library.space throughout the
County.
This development will most likely affect the Clover Hill Library or a proposed new branch
along Genito Road. The Plan identifies a need for additional library space in these areas of
the County. The applicant has offered measures to assist in addressing the impact of this
development on library facilities. (Proffered Condition 12)
Parks and Recreation:
The Public Facilities P1an identifies the need for four (4) new regional parks. In addition,
there is currently a shortage of community park acreage in the County: The Public Facilities
Plan identifies a need for 625 acres of regional park space and 116 acres of community park
space by 2015: The Plan also identifies the need for neighborhood parks and special purpose
parks and makes suggestions for their locations.
The applicant has offered measures to assist with addressing the impact'ofthis development
on parks and recreation facilities. (Proffered Condition 12).
Transportation:
The applicant has proffered that a maximum of 350 dwelling units will be developed'on the
property (Proffered Condition 1). Based on single family trip rates, development could
generate approximately 3,290' average daily trips. These vehicles will be distributed along
Otterdale Road which had a 2002 traffic count of 1,885.vehicles per day, and through the
Foxcroft SubdiviSion to Woolridge Roadwhich had a 2002 traffic count of 1,121 vehicles
per daY'between Otterdale Road and Fox'Club Parkway, a 2001 traffic count of 2,508
vehicles per day between Fox Club Parkway and Timber Bluff Parkway, and a 2001 traffic
countof 7,942 vehicles per day between.Timber Bluff ParkWay and Genito Road.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifiesOtterdale Road as a major arterial with a recommended
right of way width of ninety (90) feet. The applicant has proffered to dedicate forty-five (45)
feet of right of way, measured from the centerline of Otterdale Road, in accordance with that
Plan. (Proffered Condition 5)
The Thoroughfare Plan also identifies an east/west collector ("Fox Club Parkway
Extended"), with a recommended right of way width of seventy (70) feet, extending from
Otterdale Road through the property to Fox Club Parkway. This roadway is intended to
primarily serve area development; therefore, a sixty (60) foot wide right of way is acceptable.
14 02SN0259-NOV25-BOS
The applicant has proffered-to dedicate a sixty (60) foot wide right of Way for Fox Club
Parkway Extended through the property, as a residential collector.Street (Proffered Condition
4). The exact alignment of this roadway will be approved at time ~of tentative subdivision
review.
In order to address neighborhood concerns, the applicant has also proffered another condition
regarding the design/construction of the internal road network. A proffered'condition would
require-the developer to provide, to the extent permitted.bY 'the TranSportation Department-
and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), three (3) traffic islands/circles
withinthe development. (Proffered Condition 14)
Access to major arterials, such as Otterdale Road, should be controlled, The applicant has
proffered that direct access to Otterdale Road will be limited to one. (1) public road
(Proffered Condition 6). This public road access will be Fox Club Parkway Extended.
The traffic impact of this development must be addressed. The applicant has proffered to: 1 )
construct left and rightmm lanes along Otterdale Road at the Public road intersection, based
on Transportation Department standards; 2) construct two (2) lanes of Fox Club Parkway
Extendedfrom Otterdale Roadthrough the propertyto the eastern.property line; 3) construct
a three (3) lane typical section 0,e,, one (1).entering lane and-two (2) exiting lanes) for Fox
Club Parkway Extended at its intersection with Otterdale ROad; and. 4)construct Fox Club
Parkway Extended within~Foxcroft 'Subdivision as described in Proffered Condition 22:
(Proffered Condition 7)
Proffered Condition 22 requires the developer to submit plans forthe.deSign of Fox Club
Parkway Extended within the FOXcroft Subdivision to the Planning Commission for approval
· (Proffered Condition22);: This proffer was submitted to address neighbOr Concerns. The
proffer would require, to.the eXtent permitted by VDOT, the plans for Fox Club Parkway
Extended to include: 1) the use of curb and gutter and designed to accommodate
pedestrian/bicycle crossing; 2)'a maximum width, of twentyreight (28) feet face of. curb to
-face of curb, except for a section approximately 100 feet long, measured from the Fox Gate
Lane intersection, which will have: a six (6) foot wide raised median, separating travel lanes
with a maximum width of fifteen (15) feet face of curb to face-of curb on each side of the
median; 3) its location generally in the center of the fight-of-way; with minimal disturbance
of the vegetation; 4) landscaping along both sides to minimize views from adjacent lots; and
5) a paved bicycle path on one (1) side. VDOT has indicated that the 100 .foot long raised
median may need to be extended to the next road intersection or'beeliminated. VDOT and
the Planning Commission will approve the final design for FOx Club Parkway Extended.
ConStructing the turn lanes along Otterdale Road may require the developer to acquire some
"off-site~' right of way. According to Proffered COndition 7.d, if the developer is unable to
acquire the off-site right of way for the mm lanes along Otterdale Road, the developer may
request the County to acquire the right of way as. a public road improvement. Ali costs
associated with the acquisitionwillbe borne by the developer. If the County chooses nOt to
asSiSt with the right of way acquisition, the ~developer will-not be obligated to acquire the
15 02SN0259-NOV252BOS
"off-site" right of way and will only be obligated to construct road improvements within
available right of way.
The 2001 traffic volumes along the section of Hult Street Road (Route 360) from Otterdale
Road-to.Route 288 range from 15,000 to 61.,000 vehiclesper day. The volume of traffic from
Woodlake Village Parkway to Route 288 exceeds the .capacity of the road and drivers-
experience extreme congestion, especially during peak 'periods. The VDOT Six-Year
Improvement Program did include a project to widen Route 360 to six (6) and eight (8) lanes
from Swift Creek to Winterpock Road. Part of the project~ improvements to the'SwiR Creek
Bridge, isnow complete. However, due to State budgetary shortfalls, no construction funds
have been allocated to complete the balance of this project.
Sections of Otterdale Road have twenty (20) to twenty, one (21) foot wide pavement with no
shoulders, with substandard VertiCal and horizontal alignments and large trees located close
to the edge of pavement. Based onthe current volume of traffic during peak hours, Otterdale
Road is at capacity (LeVel of ServiCe E). SectiOns of Woolridge Road between Otterdale
Road and Fox Club Parkway have eighteen (18) to.nineteen (19) foot wide-pavement iwith no
shoulders. The capacity of this road is acceptable (Level of Service C) for the volume of
traffic it currently carries. The.standard typical section for Otterdale Road, and this sectiOn
of Woolridge Road should be twenty-four (24) foot wide pavement, with minimum eight (8)
foot wide shoulders.
Sections of Woolridge. Road between Timber Bluff Parkway andGenito Road have eighteen
(18) to twenty-one (21) footwide pavement with no shoulders?and guardrail immediately
adjacent to the road. The sectionofWoolridge Road acrossthe Swift Creek Reservoir is not.
in the State Highway System and is the responsibility of the County. Based on the current
volume of traffic during Peak hours, Woolridge Road is' at capacity (Level. of Service E)~
This sectiOn of Woolfidge Road should be improved tOafour (4) lane divided roadWay.
No road improvement projects in this area of the County are included in the Secondary Road
Six-Year Improvement Plan, except for a projectto construct turn lanes at the W°olridge
Road/Genito Road interSection. This project is currentlY underway and is anticipated to be
complete in early Spring 20032
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies the need to improve existingroads, as well as construct
new roads to accommodate growth. Area rOads, such as Otterdale Road, 'Woolridge Road
and Route 360, need to be improved to address safety~ and accommodate the inCrease'in
traffic generated by this development. The applicant has profferedto contribute cash, in an
amount consistent.with the Board of SUpervisors' pOlicY, towards mitigating this traffic
impact. (Proffered Condition 13)
At time of tentative subdivision review, specific recommendations will be provided
regarding access, stub roads to adjacent parcels and the internal road network.

the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, parks, libraries and fire stations at
$7,868 per unit. The applicant has been advised that a maximum Pr°ffer of $7,800 per unit would
defray the.cOst of the capital facilities necessitatedby this proposed development. Consistent with
the Board of Supervisors' policy, .and proffers accepted from other applicants, :the applicant has
offered cash to assist in defraying the cost of this proposed zoning on such capital 'facilities
(Proffered Condition 12). NOte that circumstances relevant to this .case, as-presented by' the

Area Development Trends:
The largest'portion of the adjacent property to the north and property to the south and west is
zoned Agricultural (A) and is occupied by single family residences or remains vacant. A
portion of the proPerty to the north and adjacent property to 'the east is zoned Residential (R~
12 and R-9) and is deVeloped for single family residences in Fox Croft Subdivision.
Residential development, at densities consistent with the Plan, is expected to continue north
and northwest of the request site. It is anticipated property south of the request site will be
developed for residential use at densities ranging from eight (8) to fourteen (14) units per
acre and for corporate office and community commercial uses.
Density and Lot Size:
The applicant has proffered a maximum of 350 lots on 234.7 acres, yielding a density.of

Buffers:
The Subdivision Ordinance requires that fifty(50) and thirty-five (35) foot buffers be
maintained along Otterdale Road' and Fox Club Parkway Extended, respectively. The
Ordinance wouldallow these buffers to be.included within the boundaries of individual lots.
It has been staff's experience'that individual homeowners tend to clear these areas resulting
in a zoning violation on that individual lot and affecting the integrity of the buffers. To
preserve the integrity of~these buffers, the applicant has proffered that these areas will be
provided in open space, thereby becoming the responsibility of ahomeowners' association.
(Proffered Condition 11)
Dwelling -Size:

recreational facilities primarily for'use by residents of the development. The applicant'has
offered measure~ to minimize the impact of these facilities on future residents in the
development (Proffered Condition 15). This proffer is similar to conditions imposed on
other projects approved for such use. In addition, to address concerns expressed by area
18 02SN0259-NOV25-BOS
property owners, the applicant has agreed that certain of these recreational facilities will be
constructed prior to complete development. (Proffered ConditiOn 17)
Tree Preservation Strip:
In an attempt to address concerns of adjacent property owners in the Foxcroft Subdivisi°n
relative to a vegetated separation between their lots and the dwellings within the proposed
development, Proffered Condition 16 requires the provision Ofcommon open space adjacent
to Foxcroft Subdivision.
Notification:
In response to area residents~ concerns, Proffered Condition 18 requireS/the develOper to
notify the last known representative of the Foxcroft HomeownerSAssociation on file with the
Planning Department of the submission of tentative subdiVision~plans. Itis imperative that

representative to be notified.
Constmction Traffic:
Proffered Condition 19 prohibits construction trafficfor develoPment on the subject property
from utilizing Fox Club Parkway throUgh Foxcroft Subdivision. This proffer will not
preclude construction traffc'assOciated with extensi°n of the r°ad or utilities. This proffered
condition is difficult, if not'impossible, for staffto enforce. 'Staffrecommends this proffered
condition not be accepted. ..
Covenants:
Proffered Condition 24 wOuld require recordation of'restrictive covenants .for the subject
property. It should be notedthat the County. will only insure the recordation of the covenants
and will not be responsible for their enforcement. Once the covenants are-recorded; they'can

expressed relative to lack of sufficient meetings.withadj acent property owners; extension of
Fox Club ParkWay; the increase in traffic through Fox Croft SubdiVision as a result and the
possibility-of cut-through traffic; 'area road conditions; school capacity; and that the County's
esfmaated averages for number of school children per dwelling unit is lowerthan the average
nUmber generated by homes in this area of the County; lack of sufficient open space; lack of
a master plan; age of the Upper Swift Creek Plan; impacts on fire and police response times.

Commission and applicant would agree to this proposal, the Foxcroft adjacent homeowners
would agree to the withdrawal'of proffer relating to minimum lotand hOuse sizes; timing of
construction of recreational facilities; improvements to Fox Club Parkway stub road; and
construction of a bike bath in Foxcroft Subdivision.
Mr. Ctmningham indicated that he was surprised given'area residents' concems relative to
.growth issues such as overcrowding of schools and lack of adequate roads, that the
neighborhood would be supportivewith proffers which wouldpreclude the extension of Fox '
Club Parkway and provide for 150 feet of open space adjacent to Foxcroft Subdivision. Mr.
Cunningham noted that based upon concerns of the Fire Department, the Commission
normally encourages "connectivity" between neighborhoods. He further stated that while the
Plan may be somewhat outdated, it is currently the adopted Plan andthe PropoSed conforms
to the Plan. He noted that measures are being taken by the COunty to protect the water
quality of Swift Creek Reservoir.
Mr. Litton noted that the proposal, complies with the Plan; that the CountY 'has adopted
regulations to protect the water quality of the Reservoir; and that the applicants have fully
addressed their impact on capital facilities consistent with the County's policy.
Mr. Gulley applauded the neighborhood' s :through presentation. He stated that the
Commission is currently studying the manner in which staff calculates permissible densities-
and whether cOnsideration should be given to subtracting land deemed undevelopable by
virtue of steep slopes, wetlands, ete; that in his opinion, the extension of FOx Club Parkway
would encourage cut-through traffic and therefore increased traffic in Foxcroft Subdivision~
that connection to neighborhoods can be:made by means, other than collector roads such as
greenways and bike path; that there has been an inadequate assessment of the already
approved, but unbuilt, development in the area on capital facilities; that.while the County has
adopted environmental regulations to minimize the impact ofrUnoff on the Reservoir, there
is concern that the timing of the:~°nstmction of the regional BMPs :may not coincide with
development and some developments, such as the one proposed, is not planned to drain
'through a regional BMP. Mr. Gulley'suggested that deferral of the case may be appropriate
to further evaluate these issues.
Mr2 Stack indicated that he had received significant input from area residents.. He stated that
the proposal before the Commission was one that was superior to the original proposal; that
many of the issues raiSed by the FoxcrOft Task Force had been addressed through, the
prOffers; that the proposal conforms to the Plan; that road issues :need to be addreSsed by the
County through assessment districts or bond referendums; that redistricting would minimize
many of the school overcrowding issUes;.and that theCounty has:made strides with respect to
adoption .of environmental regulations.
On motion of Mr. Stack, seconded by Mr. Litton, the Commission recommended approval Of
this request and acceptance of the proffered conditions on pages 2 thrOugh 11.
