PUBLIC FACILmES
Utilities:
Public Water System
There is a eight (8) inch water main located along Grove Road. The use of the public
water system is required by Ordinance. The results of a computer simulated fire flow
test indicate that sufficient flow and pressure should be available to meet the domestic
and fire flow needs of the proposed use. Fire flow requirements are established and
coordinated through Fire Administration.
Public Wastewater System
There is an eight (8) inch wastewater line located in Grove Road, approximately 110 feet
from the request site. The applicant has proffered the use of the public system for any
non-residential development of the property (proffered Condition). The results of a

computer simulated hydraulic analysis indicate that sufficient capacity should be available
to accommodate flows for the proposed use.
Environmental:
Drainage and Erosion:
Property drains into tributaries of Falling Creek Falling Creek has been experiencing
increased flooding in recent years due to increased area development; however, no
additional drainage or erosion problems are anticipated with development of the request
property. Off-site drainage easements and improvements may be needed to control
runoff. Portions of the request property may lie within the boundaries of the Routes
60/147 Drainage District. A pro-rata share for drainage improvements within the District
must be paid for development on any portion of the property that drains naturally into
the District.
Fire Service:
Midlothian Fire Station, Company #5. Provide County water and fire hydrant placement
for fire protection purposes in compliance with nationally recognized standards (i.e.,
National Fire Protection Association and Insurance Services Office).
Fire lanes must be provided in accordance with the Chesterfield Fire Prevention Code,
Section 313.
Transportation:
This request will not limit development to a specific land use, therefore, it is difficult to
anticipate traffic generation. Based on fast food restaurant with drive through window
trip rate, a permitted use within the C-5 zoning, development could generate
approximately 1,900 vehicles per day. These vehicles will be distributed along Grove
Road which had a 1994 traffic count of 2,314 vehicles per day.
Development must adhere to the Zoning Ordinance relative to access and internal
circulation (Article 7). Additional pavement and curb and gutter will be required along
Grove Road for the entire property frontage. At time of site plan review, specific
recommendations will be provided regarding access, internal circulation, and mitigating
road improvements.
