PROPOSAL
On June 29, 2018 the applicant submitted a Resource Protection Area Buffer Exception
Application to the Planning Department, which was then submitted for review to the
. The applicant requested an
exception to allow land disturbance within designated Chesapeake Bay Preservation Areas
(CBPA), which may impact downstream water bodies (see Exhibit A). This means that the site
improvements will encroach into RPA if this request is approved. Specifically, the applicant
proposes to clear and grade a currently maintained turf area for site layout and installation of a
fourteen (14) foot x twenty-eight (28) foot in-ground swimming pool with a surrounding three
(3) foot concrete apron.
The RPA on the subject site is located adjacent to a perennial tributary of Powhite Creek. The
character of the RPA buffer on the property consists of currently managed turf and landscape
vegetation within a privacy fence, and a narrowly vegetated buffer area outside of the fence
and adjacent to the creek. The area of RPA buffer on the property is approximately 0.29 acres
and comprises 55% of the parcel area. The applicant proposes to impact approximately 680
square feet, or 0.01 acres, of RPA within the seaward 50-foot extent (Exhibit A).
Mitigation measures to minimize the impacts to the RPA are outlined in the Water Quality
Impact Assessment 2601 Cherrytree Lane, currently on file in the Chesterfield County
Environmental Engineering Department and shall be incorporated and implemented during the
plan review process. These measures include the abandonment of an existing septic tank and
drain field and the installation of native plantings.
Staff recommends that the board make the findings set forth in County Code §19.1-527(B)(1) by
granting the exception, subject to four conditions (see Attachment 1).
the six findings is attached as Exhibit B.
