Specifically, the applicant proposes to amend Proffered Conditions 4, 5, 8 and 9 of Case 07SN0136 relative to density, cash proffer payment, transportation improvements and phasing along Otterdale Road. Notes: A. Conditions may be imposed or the property owner may proffer conditions. B. Proffered conditions and approved proffered conditions of Case 07SN0136 are located in Attachments 1 - 3. SUMMARY A mix of traditional and cluster-style single-family residential dwellings (known as “Cold Creek”) is planned. The original case was approved for a maximum of 378 units, on which a cash proffer could be collected, in the amount of $9,079 per dwelling unit on the first 175 units and $21,186 per unit on the remaining units. Currently, the total potential value of the approved cash proffer equates to $5,889,583. With this request, the applicant is proposing to reduce the maximum density to 311 units and to reduce the cash proffer amount to $9,400 per dwelling unit, with a total potential value of $2,923,400. However, the applicant has also proffered an option to provide offsite road improvements, as determined by the Transportation department. The value for those improvements may be in lieu of the cash proffer payments. Existing zoning conditions, and those proffered with this request provide design and architectural standards (Summarized on Pages 5 & 6) that are comparable in quality to the surrounding community.

Based on the maximum amount of development and applying trip generation rates for a single- family dwelling, the proposed development could generate approximately 2,983 average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the property will initially be distributed to Duval Road. Duval Road is a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 90 feet, as identified on the County’s Thoroughfare Plan. Duval Road is a two-lane. Sections of the road are substandard, with approximately 10-foot lane widths and no usable shoulders. VDOT minimum geometric design standards recommend this road have 12-foot lane widths and 10 foot shoulders. In 2015, the traffic count on Duval Road was 600 vehicles per day (Level of Service “A”). Section 19.1-231 of the CountyCode outlines the general requirements to meet the needsof the traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. This proposed residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation improvements. The applicant has offered the following (note: these conditions are currently required by Case 07SN0136): Road Improvements (Proffered Condition 3) Construction of right and left turn lanes along Duval Road at each public road intersection. Widening/improving the north side of Duval Roadproperty frontage. Note: A right of way dedication proffer has been offered for the improvements identified above. The proffer states that in the event the developer is unable to acquire any “off-site” right of way, the developer may request that the County acquire such right of way as a public road improvement. All costs associated with the acquisition of the right of way will be borne by the developer. In the event the County chooses not to assist the developer in acquisition of the off-site right of way, the developer shall be relieved of the obligation to acquire the off-site right of way and shall provide the road improvements within available (Proffered Condition 3.c) right of way. The property is within Traffic Shed 6, which encompasses a large area in the western part of the County. Many of the roads in this part of the County have little or no shoulders, fixed objects (trees) adjacent to the edge of the pavement and poor vertical and horizontal alignments. The traffic volume generated from this proposed residential development will contribute to an identifiable need for transportation facility improvements to these roads in excess of existing transportation facility capacity. Roads in this shed or which serve this shed need to be improved or widened to address safety and accommodate increased traffic, including the increased traffic from the proposed development. An applicant may choose to address the development’s impact on the County’s road transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or a cash proffer. If an applicant elects to offer cash to address the impact on the County’s road 717SN0749-2017MAY24-BOS-RPT transportation network, Transportation staff has calculated the average impact of a single- family dwelling unit on the transportation network to be $12,652; however, the Board of Supervisors has adopted a policy establishing that it would accept a maximum cash proffer of $9,400 per dwelling unit as addressing the traffic impacts of residential development, with all of the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. As such, if the applicant chooses to address the development’s impacts on the County’s road network through payment of a cash proffer, $9,400 per dwelling unit for improvements to the road network would be appropriateThetraffic impact of the proposed development is valued at $2,923,400 (311 lots X . $9,400). The applicant has proffered to pay $9,400 per dwelling unit (Proffered Condition 2). The Proffer allows, upon request by the applicant and approval by the Transportation Department, a reduction in the payments based on the cost of road improvements provided by the applicant. Currently, specific road improvements have not been finalized, but the proffer states that the road improvements could be on Otterdale Road north of the Duval Road intersection, including culverts under Otterdale Road. The proffer notes that the applicant may need assistance by the County with acquiring “off-site” right of way to construct these improvements. Staff supports the request.

Response Times The proposed development is located in the rural response zone for which Fire & EMS has a goal of responding to at least 90% of the calls for service in under twelve (12) minutes. Fire and EMS is currently unable to meet that goal. Nearby Fire/EMS Facilities The Clover Hill Fire Station, Company Number 7 The Manchester Volunteer Rescue Squad Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs Based on an average of 0.189 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will generate 59 annual calls for Fire/EMS services. Additional Fire and EMS Comments 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. 917SN0749-2017MAY24-BOS-RPT SCHOOLS Staff Contact: Atonja Allen (804-318-8740) atonja_allen@ccpsnet.net Mission High performing, high quality public schools contribute to the quality of life and economic vitality of the County. The comprehensive plansuggests a greater focus should be placed on linking schools with communities by providing greater access, flexible designs and locations that better meet the needs of the communities in which they are located. Capital Improvements The School Board FY2017 adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) continues to support the 2013 voter approved school revitalization program that will replace or renovate ten schools and construct one new elementary school to add capacity in the Midlothian area of the county. The ten existing facilities that are part of the revitalization program are Providence Middle School, Monacan High School, Manchester Middle School, Beulah Elementary School, Enon Elementary School, Matoaca Elementary School, Harrowgate Elementary School, Reams Elementary School, Crestwood Elementary School, and Ettrick Elementary School.

In October 2016 the Board of Supervisors approved Case 17PD0105 for substantial accord to permit an elementary school located at 1501 Old Hundred Road. The school division is now in negotiations for acquisition of this property. Post 2020, the Plan also recommends a new middle school in the vicinity of Hull Street and Otterdale Roads and a new high school in the vicinity of Genito and Otterdale Roads northwest of Swift Creek Reservoir, however at this time 1017SN0749-2017MAY24-BOS-RPT a budget has not been developed for the acquisition of land or construction of these school facilities as recommended in the Plan. LIBRARIES Staff Contact: Jennifer Stevens (804-751-4998) stevensj@chesterfield.gov Mission The public library system’s role in the county has expanded beyond its traditional function as a resource for information and materials, and now serves as a community gathering place for educational, cultural and informational services; community support during emergencies; economic development; and revitalization activities.
