Design
High quality residential development addresses the Comprehensive Plan goals for strong and
sustainable neighborhoods that are visually attractive, well-planned and well-maintained.
Further, the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance to promote the health, safety,
convenience and general welfare of the public includes the creation of convenient, attractive
and harmonious communities, protection against overcrowding of land, and protection of the
natural environment. As such, developments that promote unique, viable and long lasting
places and enhance the community are encouraged.
The Plan notes that properties classified for Neighborhood Mixed Use should be designed and
modeled on the scale, architecture,and pattern of development of a traditional village center
or small community downtown. Higher density developments should be designed to add to the
village feel and appearance and include a variety of architectural styles (Arts and Crafts,
Federal, Georgian, and Colonial Revival).
The applicant’s proposal represents a unique infill opportunity for a high-density townhouse
development located near the village center of Chester. Based on the size of the request
property (1.3 acres) and the location of the development, exceptions to bulk standards and
recreational amenities are necessary to accommodate lots for dwellings, common areas and
stormwater management facilities. Proximity to nearby recreational amenities, such as the
Chester Linear Park and open space areas in Chester Village Green, would provide nearby
recreational opportunities for residents of this development. Conceptual architecture for
townhouse dwellings would follow the style of Arts & Crafts (Craftsman).
To ensure that the development would be a visually attractive, well-planned and well-
maintained townhouse community, several quality, design and architectural proffers have been
offered by the applicant. The following provides an overview of design requirements offered as
part of this request (Attachment 1 – Proffered Conditions):
Community Design
Overall conceptual plan illustrating the location of roads, dwellings, buffers, recreational
facilities, and access points (Attachment 4 – Conceptual Plan)
Sidewalks

COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT
Staff Contact: Carl Schlaudt(804-318-8674) schlaudtc@chesterfield.gov
The project site is located in a revitalization area, consistent with the criteria-based approach of
Road Cash Proffer Policy Section B.5 (as amended by the Board of Supervisors on April 26,
2017).
The Department of Community Enhancement supports development in revitalization areas that
represents a substantial improvement above current area conditions. This proposal (as
reflected in proffers dated 6/23/17), represents a substantial improvement above conditions of
older residential development generally near Lee Street at Route 10. Specifically, this project
would be a substantial improvement in terms of: paved driveways, foundation treatment,
foundation planting beds, front porches, front walks, HVAC screening, roof materials, and
sidewalks.
The project would be generally equivalent to surrounding development in terms of:
architectural variation, common recreational area (not specified), garages (not specified),
landscaping other than foundation planting beds, roof form, siding material, street trees, and
yard trees (not specified).
The Department of Community Enhancement supports the proposal as proffered.

County finance staff is responsible for managing the finances of the County and making
recommendations to the County Administrator regarding the allocation of available resources
for the provision of services and capital facilities to serve the citizens of the County. Finance
staff will advise the County Administrator if changed economic circumstances require
adjustments to the County’s budget or capital improvement program.
COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
Staff Contact: Jim Banks (804-748-1037) banksj@chesterfield.gov
The applicant has committed to developing a maximum of 18 dwelling units (Textual Statement
Condition 3). Based on those number of units and trip generation rates for a townhouse unit,
the proposed development could generate approximately 145 average daily trips. Traffic
generated by development of the property will be distributed via Lee Street to Iron Bridge Road
(Route 10).
Route 10 is a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 120 to 200 feet, as
identified on the County’s Thoroughfare Plan. Route 10 is a four-lane divided road. In 2015, the
traffic count on Route 10 west of Harrowgate Road was 22,440 vehicles per day (Level of
Service “B”)
Section 19.1-231 of the County Code 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:
Road Improvements (Proffered Condition 12)
Widening/improving the west side of Lee Street to a twelve (12) foot-wide travel lane
measured from the centerline of the road, curb and gutter, and a five (5) foot wide
concreate sidewalk as well as overlaying the full width of Lee Street with one and a half
(1.5) inch of compacted bituminous asphalt concrete for the entire property frontage.
The property is within Traffic Shed 13, which encompasses the area south of Route 288, north
and east of Route 10, and west of Chester Road. Many 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 tobe improved or widened to address safety and accommodate increased
traffic, including the increased traffic from the proposed development.
817SN0806-2017AUG23-BOS-RPT
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
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. The Policy allows the
county to consider mitigating circumstances about a proposed development. In this case, the
residential development is townhouse units which generate approximately 63% of the traffic of
single-family dwelling units. Because of this, the traffic impact could be addressed with $5,922
(63% of $9,400) per townhouse unit.
According to the Office of Revitalization, the property is located within a revitalization area.
Under the Road Cash Proffer Policy, no road cash proffer will be accepted for development in
these areas.

Anticipated Fire & EMS Impacts/Needs
Based on an average of 0.269 calls per dwelling, it is estimated that this development will
generate 5 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.

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 plan suggests 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. The project at Providence
Middle School is currently in construction, a new Manchester Middle School is planned for
construction on the existing schoolsite,and the project at Monacan High School is complete.
Additional information on the CIP can be found in the financial section of the CCPS Adopted
Budget for FY2017.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Staff Contact: Rebeccah Ward (804-748-1028) WardR@chesterfield.gov
Geography
The subject properties slope from northwest to southeast at slopes generally ranging from three
to five percent. The properties drain into an existing minimal roadside ditch along Lee Street, into
existing storm sewer systems to the Chester Village Green Lake.The lake discharges to an
unnamed tributary to Great Branch. Both parcels are located within the Proctors Creek
Watershed.
Environmental Features
A Resource Protection Area Designation (RPAD) must be submitted and approved by the
Department of Environmental Engineering-Water Quality Section prior to construction plan
approval. In addition, wetlands shall not be impacted without approval from the US Army Corps
of Engineers.
Drainage
The existing site is very flat and a minimum ditch exists along Lee Street; therefore, to provide
positive drainage to an adequate outfall, offsite easements may be required at the time of
construction plan approval.
Stormwater Management
1417SN0806-2017AUG23-BOS-RPT
To protect downstream properties from flooding in the event of a dam failure, any stormwater
management facility serving this development shall not have a constructed embankment which
retains or detains water. The applicant has offered Proffered Condition 5.A to address this
impact.
In addition, the applicant has offered Proffered Condition 5.A.i to address concerns regarding
the aesthetics of the stormwater management area by offering to landscape the area to
provide an attractive design feature for the entryway to the property. If underground
detention is proposed to address water quality and/or quantity, trees and shrubs are not
allowed within the limits of the underground detention facility; therefore, the applicant has
offered Proffered Condition 5.A.ii to provide evergreen screening outside of the underground
detention facility.
The development is subject to the Part IIB technical criteria of the Virginia Stormwater
Management Program Regulations for water quality and water quantity. Any areas of
forest/open space used for stormwater quality compliance should be outside the limits of the
residential lots.
