STAFF RECOiMMENDATION
'g...¢_ '_q _t_t.¢_:.,.' t I:
Recommend approYal of the rezaning from Agricultural (A) to Residential
Townhouse (R-TH) with. Conditional Usc Planned Development subiccr to
ad&*cssmg thc fBcal point acreage, construction traffic and garage oriema~ion.
This recommendation is made tbr thc following reasons:
While the Chester Villaec Plan suggests property 'notth of 1he creek is
appropriate for single family residential development of 1.01 to 2.5 units
per acre, with a minhnum tot' size of 12,000 square feet, the proposed
residential zoning mid land uses are consistenI with the densities
recommended by thc Plan and offer higher quality development standards
than those provided by the Zoning Ordinance fbr Residential
zoning.
The proposed Cor.poratc Off, ce (O-2) uses comply with the
Vii/raze Plan whi.ch suggests that the property south of the crcek is
appropriate for a mix o f corporate office and muhi-family residential uses.
The proffered conditions adequately address the impacts of this
development on necessary capital facilities, as et,tithed in thc Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the needs for roads.
schools, p~qrks,, fibrin'les and fire stations is identilicd in tl:~c Public
Facilities Plan. the Thorouohfare Plan and the Capital l'mp:r.~Z.C..~B..e..n_..[
Prom'm.n, and the impact of this development is discussed herein. The
proffered conditioas mitigate the impact on capitaI fac. ilities, thereby not
insuring adequate sepvice levels are maintained and protecting the health.,
safety and weltkre of County citizens.
The size of the proffered focal points tail to meet the typical stm~dard
established for small lot developments.
E.
Proffered Condi.tion 27, relative to construction traffic, i.s difficult, if not
impossible to cl'Tcctively en~brce.
The profl.izrs ~ninimize the visual impact of garage doors iStcing thc street
for townhouse units.

the property north of tile cr~k is appropriate for single family residential development of
1.01 to 2.5 units per acre, with a minimum lot size of 12,000 squarc feet. While the
is a. guide for future izu~d use patterns and densities, staff has consistently approached
evaluation of' residential cascs based upon the opportunity For the pro¥isio~ of higher
quality development standards with alternative forms of residential development other
than 'the typical Residential (R-I2), provided the de~sifies suggested by the Plan m'e

The Ordinance requires that. not less than ten (10) pcrcellt of the gross acreage of the
tow~nhouse portion of the project be de,~ted to recreational use, witb a minimum
provision of 1.5 acres. Given the potential :tbr approximately ninety-eight (98) acres of
the project to develop for townhousc uses, required recreational provisions may be close
to ten (10) acres in area. The applicant proposes a minimttm of {bur (4) acres of
recreational area h~corporated into l:bcat points within the. ~'eside:ntial portions oi~ thc
prqicct. One ( 1 ) such lbcal poi,~l would include a clubhouse facility on a minimum of ~ .5
acres. (Textual Statement Item tI.A and Proffered Condition 16)
Within smaller lot developments, :tbcal points are provided in a central location to
visuatiy announce a prqicct upon entry and create green space a't the. entrance ufa
development. Generally, focal points should be a minimum of .75 acres to provide
usable open space to accommodate hardscaping and facilitate the gathering of residents.
The applicant Nas provided a minimum of .50 acres serving each of three (3) focal points,
located within Land Bays 1, 2 and 3 (ProflTered Condition '1.6). Given thc project's
overall size and density, the design shmdd accommodate this minimum pro,~dsion of .75
am. rcs of tbcal point acreage serving each of the tkrce (3') proi~sed Tracts.
in response to concerns expressed by residents of l.,akewood Farms Subdivision,
minimum setbacks for the clubhouse building and hours oi' opcr. afion fo,' recreational uses
have 'been p~x)ffered. (Proffered Conditions 16 and 19)
Buff.ers and Building Setbacks (Residential):
Adjacent prope~xies to the west and east arc zoned Residential (R-7) and Rcside~1ial
MF~. The Zoning Ordinance rc~fuires the provision o£a l'.it~y (St)) foot buffer a4]acent t'o
these Districts; however, would allow modification through tlae subdivision process.
'T'o address concerns of area residents, Proffered Condition 14 requires ihe provision of" a
seventy (70) foot buflizr adjacent to Lakewood Farms Subdivision. This bufiicr could ~oi
24 05SN 0 t 6~APR27.-BO S
be modified through, plan review. Further, buildings must be located a minimum of 110
f.eet from this adjacent development. (P.roffered Condition 15)
Adjacent properties to thc ~:orth and east are zoned Agricnlmral. witl-t fine majr3riry
occupied by single family dwellings. The Ordinance docs not address buil;.~rs adjacen', to
developed Agricn[mral (A) prope~i.ies. Proffered Condition I4 would require the
provisicm of a fi.fry ('.50) fbot buffer adjacent to these agriculturally-zoned pamcts. '!'hi.s
butt'er could not be modified throngh plan review.
All buffers would bc recorded within open space.
Garag~.~.,~p~.y...e.5¥:ays Landscapi.m~, Stre, et Trees al~d Sidewalks:
Proffered conditions and conditions address the hardscaping of driveways, landscaping
around build~gs and common areas and the provisio~ of street trees and sidew-alks.
(Proffered Conditions 12 and 13 and Conditions 1 and 5)
For townhouse develop'merit, proffered conditions do not require garages, but indicatc
that if garages are provided, a maximum, o~' t.~fty (50) percent of the units having gm'ages
can be f.'ront loaded. For detached single family dwellings located in [.and Bay 1, thc
applicant has proffered the use of architectural t.i2.n.estration or orientation away from
roads to minimize the impact of garage doom upon the streetscape for detached single
fmnily dwellings (Proffered Condition. 8). Gi¥cn thc close proximity o'f tl~e proposed
dwelling units to one another and to the streets, limiting garage doors to side and rear
entry provides a l~etter eum'antee that their impact on the s~re.e'tscape will be softened,
Buildine Materials, Dweilh~ Size and Bedrooms ~Rcsidcntial'):
In. response to area residents' concerns, residential building materials and dwelling unit
sizes have been prol'£e, rc& (Proffered Conditions 5 and 6 and Condition 3)
Proffered Condition 31 limits the number of bedrooms per dwelling unit to a maximmn
of three (3) at. the time of construction. While thc proffer would allow additional
bedrooms in the l'uturc to accommodate renovation/expansions without neccssitati.r~g a
zoning amendn~ent, the proffer addresses stalT's concerns with respect to individual
homeowners converting rooms such as dining areas or garages into bedrooms,
Restrictive Covenants (RcsidcntiaJL'}:
Condition 2 would require recordation or' restrictive covenants tbr thc detached smgte
· !hmi!y development within Land Bay 1. ft should be noted that the Couniy will only
insure the recordation of the covenants and will not be responsibic t. br their cnibrccmenl.,
()ace the covenants are recorded, they can be changed.
25 05 SNOt 64-..5.PR27-B OS
Proffered Condition 18 requires the provision of notification by thc developer to the
ow'trots of a4i~,ccnt lots within the Lakewood Farms Subdivision of m~v tentative
subdivision plm~ submittal or any amendment to this zoning case,
Construction Traffic:
Proffered Condition 27 precludes the use of Ecoff Avenue for residential co~struction
troll:lc and? once a road co~mcction is made fr. om EcoffAvcnuc to Route 1.0, precludes its
use for all cm~struction traffic associated with the development. This condition :i.s
difficult, it' not impossible, tbr staff' to cllk~ctively entbrce. Therefo.re. Prof"flared
Conditinn 27 should not be accepted.
Prohibition on Road Connection:
Proffered Condition 2 l.a precludes any public road connection from the subject property,
west to thc adjacent Lakewood Farms Subdivision. Elfinwood Road within the
Lakewood Fro'ms Subdivision was platted in anticipation of a furore connection, to the
subject property. In addition to promoting tim and emergency services safc. ty~ stub road
connections provide interconnectivitv among adjacent residential developmentq thereby
reducing congestion along collcctor and arterial roads and providing a co:n¥crficnt and
safe access to neighboring properties.
On November 23, 2004, the Board of Supervisors adopted the "Residential Subdivision.
Cmmectivity Policy" wtJch allows tim Board, tl2'ough thc Counnission's
recommendation, to waive the requirement tbr streets in new subdivisions to connect to
all a4iaccnt stub streets that are designed as local streets, residential collectors and
thoroughfare streets. Staff must evaluate this waiver based upon three (3) criteria. First,
there must bca sufficient n'umber of other stub streets to adequately disperse traffic and
not cause a concentrated use of any one (1) stub street; second, the connection, to a
particular stub will cx~tuse co~mentratcd traffic at that location; and third, the projected
traffic volume on any one (l) local street witkin an existing subdivision exceeds 1,500
vehicle trips per day.
Without additimmt design in. formal:ion relative to road layout, staff cannot accm'a]:ely
detemfine if the criteria ibr granting such a waiver can bc met. Therefore. it is
recommended that consideration of the waiver be evaluated during the plans review
process when more detail is available and that Proffered Condition 2! .a not be accepted.
CONCLUSIONS
While the Chester Villaae Plan suggests property north of thc creek is appropriate tbr single
fam:ily residential development of 1.01 to 2.5 units per acre. with a minimum lot size of 12,000
square l~z,t, the proposed residential zoning and land uses arc consistent with linc densities
recommended by the .U.a_..n. rind offer higher quality development standards than those provided by
25 05SN 0364...A PR_2? .. 1.~(.) $
thc Zoning Ordinance lbr Residential (R-12) zoning. Furthcr~ thc proposed Corporate O~'fice (O-
2) uses corn.ply with the Chester Village 'Plan. which suggests that the property south of--'.he creek
is appropriate lbr a mix of' corporate olticc and. mutfifamily residential '~scs.
Tile prot'fered conditions adequately address the impacts of this developmci~t on necessary
capital facilities, ms outlined in the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. Specif.cally, the
needs lbr roads, schools, parks, libraries and fire stalio~s is identified in the Public Facilities
Plan. the Thoroughfm'e Plan and the ~:.a. pi:['.a._[__.l._mprovement Pro~ar~. and the impact of tlfs
development is discusscd herein. Thc proffered conditions mitigate the impact on. capital
facilities, thereby noi insuring adequate service levels are maintained and protecting the hextlth,
safety and wel:fare o.f County citizens.
The application fails to address colmectivi.ty to the adjacent Lakewood Farms Subdivision per
thc Board's recen.tly adopted '*Residential Subdivision Connectivity Policy~" Evaluatirm ot' ~he
Policy criteria ibr granting sucl~ relief necessiiates design details that c~xn best be provided
through the subdivision re,~4ew process.
Given 1hesc considerations, approval of this request is recommended, subject to addressing
connectivity to 'the adjacent subdivision, limilations o~ construction ~affic, provisions
adequate areas for focal points and garage orientation as discussed heroin.

Planning Commission Meeting (3/t 5/05):
Thc applicant did not accept staffs recommendation, but did accept the Planning
Commission's recommendation. There was opposition prcscnt~ Concerns were

schools: the method of calculating the number of units perm itied based upon gross versus
net acreages; and non complim~ce with the ~...h.....e...s...t.~r Villaue Plan which suggests the
property is appropriate t.br residential development having minimum lot sizes of 12.000
square t~ct,
Mr. Wilson indicated that~, while the Plan is a guide, there should be valid reason, to
deviate from an adopted plan. He stated tttat in his opi~ion, the proposal represents a
s~,pcrior development to that suggesled by the Plan especially give. n ttmt no multi'l~'amily
uses are proposed; and thc provision of significant setbacks, buffers, open space, trails,

students th, an a 12,000 lot development. With respect to connectiviti..', he indicated that
since the uses proposed o~ the su.bject property arc di:tl'crent than those to the west, he did
not support street connections between, the two (2) developments.
Messrs. Litton. ~md Gecker indicated that the proposal represents i~,fitl d.evelopmcnt; ttmt
plans have bec'Il approved to address school needs throughoul the Courtly and that the
proposed North/South Arterial will ad&ess area traffic needs.
Messrs, Bass and Gulley indicated the proposal does not comply with the adopted

Ref: NO CONNECTING ROAD BETWEEN
ELFINWOOD & COPELY
April20,2005
PROPERTY.
This is a follow-up letter of the community meeting held on April 12, 2005 called by Mr. Dickie
King. Approximately 200 community concerned home owners were attended the meeting in Ecoff
Elementary School. The main discussion of one hour and thirty minutes meeting was focused over the
referenced; the connecting road.
Let the minutes of the meeting reflect that when Mr. King asked the question how many of you fight
now in this hall would like to see the connecting road referenced, please note only one person put his
hand up and that person lives on EcoffAvenue. He just wanted the traffic to go away somewhere but
not in front of his house. A second person spoke briefly. Two people out of 200 and that is all.
As Mr. King repeatedly expressed that democracy, transparency and general public voice would be
highly considered over his decision of how he would vote on April 27th and also he said 50+1 would
win the democratic majority on any issue before the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Wilson repeated several times that his Office recommended to supervisors that there is NO
CONNECTING ROAD referenced as his staffitself stated that "although this connecting road is not
required to satisfy the Ordinance, in an emergency, it would benefit both properities". That benefit
however outweighs the concerns of 42 home owners (list attached) who have been living in Lake
Wood Farms sub-division over 25 years.
Logic:
1. There are three major connections to Copely Property form a main artery Rt. 10. Number one being
EcoffAvenue, number two is the thoroughfare road running through the Coply Property connecting
to Rt. 10 and the third connection is Chawckly Road from Rt. 10.
2. Very important point to note is that Chester Fire Station, Company #1 which is well equipped Fire
Station is located right on Rt. 10 about one mile from the Copley Property. Please note that it takes a
fire truck only 3 turns to reach Copley Property.
3. The time and space needed to maneuver those well equipped, huge and long fire trucks through
narrow turning roads of Lake Wood Farm sub-division into Copley Property would be much longer
than any one of those three connections mentioned in #1.
4. Forty two residents stand united in opposing any kind (emergency/routine) of connecting road
between Elfinwood and Copely Properity.
Thank you.

A PETITION
Mr. Jack Wilson, Planning Commissioner
Chesterfield County Development Board
March 10, 2005
Subject: NO CONNECTING ROAD FROM ELFINWOOD T° COPLEY ESTATE
Following signatures of Lakewood Farms Subdivision residents of Elflnwood Road stand
united with the subject. Most of us have been living in our homes in this Subdivision over 25
years. We bought our homes in this Subdivision for its peaceful living, neighborhood traffic
only and no other interventions of any adjacent communities. Most of us have school going
children, their safety and security and parents peaceful living should be guarded.
These concerns were shared with Honorable Commissioner Wilson on February 16, 2005 in
our neighborhood residents meeting held at Ecoff Elementary School Library.
Particularly in reference to two adjacent residents; Mr.& Mrs. Robert Bowls and Mr. & Mrs.
Muddappa Rangappa where the connecting road provision exists that it will be detrimental to
both residents who have landscaped that piece with flowers, shrubs and perennials well
blended with neighborhood properties. Also, at the time of purchase of our Holmes from then
developer Mr. Wesley Burton told us that there will not be a connecting road ever.
Moreover, the applicant requesting rezoning; Wilton Development Corp. has proffered NO
connecting road in to his total package.
We restfully submit this petition for your favorable consideration.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Wilson:
RE: Zoning Case 05SN0164, Wachovia Bank, N.A., Executor, Under the Will of Hazel B. Copley
The referenced case is scheduled to be heard tomorrow night, Tuesday, March 15, for the first time.
The case involves a mixture of residential and non-residential uses to include cluster homes and
townhouses as well as Corporate Office uses. There are 31 proffered conditions, several with multiple
subdivisions under the individual condition. Eight of those proffers were amended and restated on a
document dated March 4, ;2005, but not received on that date (a Friday) by many of the concerned
citizens in the community affected.
According to information from the Planning Department in response to an inquiry, March 14, an
addendum is being processed to make further changes to the proffers. That addendum may be ready
after noon tomorrow, the day of the public hearing.
As stated on ImRe 3 of the StalEs Re(l#est Analysis and Reco. n~mendation for Case 055N0164, the revi .s~d.proffered conditions
were not submitted at least 30 days ~)rior to the Commission's public hearina. The Commission's "Su~ested Practices and
Procedures" sub,est that the case should be deferred if representatives from thg affected..ncil~hborb0~lCs) have not had
sufficient time to evaluate the amendments. This case definitely needs to be deferred due to fail~re to ~ubmit all proffer~ and
amendments within a reasonable time to allow all interested parties time for thorg#~h review, The citizens have not ~ad
adequate time to consider the proffer revisions already, s.ubmitted late and certainly capnQt .con~der revisign~ of proffers that
citizens of Chesterfield. County w~!!.n, ot even be aware of until the public bearin~ tomorrow night.
It has come to the attention of concerned citizens that it has become common practice to suspend this
rule and proceed with public hearings without acknowledging the will of the "people" However,
"Chesterfield Citizens for responsible Growth &Government" hope to be more responsible citizens
by being involved in the needs of our neighbors and our communities. Therefore, it would be
unconscionable for an addendum, modifying proffers, to be submitted on the afternoon of the public
hearing in a case already containing 31 proffers, many of them multi-part proffers which were
amended less than 2 weeks before the scheduled public hearing. In addition, several other significant
rezoning cases have recently been approved in the Bermuda district, and the cumulative impact of ali
these cases must be assessed for the future public safety.: Welfare of our children, our homes and our
communities.
On behalf of many residents of Buxton/Lakewood Farms, the adjacent homeowners on Ecoff Ave,
Chester Homeowner Associations, we request that this case be deferred for 30 days to provide
adequate time for thorough evaluation the 31 proffers and the amendments that were not available
or a matter of record on March 14, at ~ pm..
Please advise by e-mail ifa decision is made regarding this requested deferral prior to the evening
session of the Planning Commission, March 15, pm.
The Concerned Citizens of Chester and Citizens of Chesterfield County, thank you for your support
and consideration of this request.
