Proposal
The subject property is currently undeveloped and contains no structures. The property is
located within a mandatory wastewater connection area, necessitating an exception to public
wastewater use. The applicant proposes development of the property for a mini-storage
warehouse facility. Existing zoning would permit uses allowed in the General Business (C-5)
Zoning District. It is important to note that with the imposition of Condition 3, the only uses
that would be permitted on a private septic system would be a mini-storage warehouse use.
Exception to Mandatory Water and Wastewater Connections
Section 18-60 of the County Code requires the use of the public sewer system for properties
located within the Mandatory Wastewater Connection Area. An exception to the use of the public
sewer system must be evaluated by the Directors of Utilities and Planning, the Planning
Commission, and subsequently by the Board of Supervisors. The decision of such exceptions must
be based upon the following criteria:
Would the use of private systems encourage future area development inconsistent with
the Comprehensive Plan; and
Would the ability to extend the public system to other property be adversely affected.
Comprehensive Plan and Future Area Development
The Comprehensive Plan suggests area properties are appropriate for corporate office, research
and light industrial uses. The Plan encourages non-residential development with the use of public
utility systems. Given the impact of public wastewater use in achieving development potential
consistent with the recommendations of the Plan, the Planning Department does not support the
requested exception to the use of public sewer.

Additional Utility Comments:
The property is located in the mandatory water and wastewater connection area for non-
residential development per Sections 18-60.B.1, 2 of the County Code. This property is currently
zoned C-5.
Public water is available through a 12-
Any new structure(s) proposed for the site would be required to use the public water system.
Public wastewater is not immediately available and would require the construction of an off-site
gravity wastewater line of approximately 1,600 linear feet from an existing 8-inch gravity
wastewater line south east of the subject property which would require offsite easements. A
conceptual cost estimate to construct an 8-inch gravity wastewater line to the site would be
$280,000.00. Any new structure(s) proposed for the site would be required to connect to the
public wastewater system.
The applicant has requested an exception to the use of public wastewater. The Utilities
Department does not support this request because there is a viable way to serve this site with
public wastewater without topographical, capacity, or other underground utility conflict issues.
Extension of this wastewater line will provide service to four large parcels with frontage on Hull
Street that do not currently have access to public wastewater. Should the decision be made to
grant the exception, the Utilities Department requests the conditions in Attachment 1 on page 10
be imposed.
