The property could be developed for 1 dwelling unit. Based on 1 unit and applying trip
generation rates for a single-family dwelling, development could generate approximately 15
average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the property is anticipated to be
initially distributed along two existing roads: Meadowville Road and North Enon Church Road.
Vehicles entering the proposed development would access it from one or both roads.
The eastern section of Meadowville Road is a collector, with a recommended right of way width
of 70 feet, as identified on the County ŷƚƩƚǒŭŷŅğƩĻ tƌğƓ. Traffic volume data for Meadowville
Road in the vicinity of the site is not available.
North Enon Church Road is also a collector, with a recommended right of way width of 70 feet,
as identified on the ŷƚƩƚǒŭŷŅğƩĻ tƌğƓ. A section of North Enon Church Road south of the
property is substandard, with approximately 18 feet of pavement, no usable shoulders, and
deep ditches on both sides. In 2018, the traffic volume on North Enon Church Road just south
Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needs of
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 not offered to provide any mitigating road improvements.

The property is within Traffic Shed 15, which encompasses a large area in the eastern part of
the County, east of I-95. Many of the roads in Traffic Shed 15 or which serve Traffic Shed 15
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 the proposed residential
development will contribute to an identifiable need for transportation facility improvements to
these roads in excess of existing transportation facility capacity. These roads need to be
improved to address safety and accommodate increased traffic, including the increased traffic
from the proposed development.
transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or
a cash proffer. If an applicant elects to offer cash to address the
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
of a cash proffer, $9,400 per dwelling unit for improvements to the road network would be
appropriate. Staff has determined that the total impact of the proposed development under
the Road Cash Proffer methodology is $9,400.
The applicant has offered to pay $9,400 for the dwelling unit for road infrastructure
improvements. Staff supports the request.
