On February 20, 2006, the applicant submitted revised Proffered Conditions 10, 11 and 13. The revisions to Proffered Conditions 10 and 11 address the Transportation Department's concerns regarding right of way acquisition for construction of the cul-de-sac on Winterfield Road and the use of cash proffers for sidewalk construction. Revised Proffered Condition 13 now allows for the provision of open space along the western side of Winterfield Road regardless of whether on street parking is located on Winterfield Road and requires the open space to be developed concurrently with development of the subject property. At the Planning Commission public hearing on February 21, 2006, the applicant did not accept staff s recommendation, but did accept the Planning Commission's recommendation. There was support present. The applicant agreed to modify the proffers to address the width of the proposed sidewalks in Winterfield Station.

E. of the Textual Statement in Case No. 06SN0110. (P) 8 06SNO 111-FEB22-BOS GENERAL INFORMATION Location: North line of Winterfield Road and better known as 1400 Winterfield Road. Tax ID 725- 710-6268 (Sheet 5). Existin Z� oning: A Size: 2.2 acres Existing Land Use: Single family residential Ad' acent Zoning and Land Use: North - R-1.5; Single family residential South - R-7; Single family residential East - A; Single family residential West - A; Vacant UTILITIES Public Water System: There is an eight (8) inch water line extending along a portion of Justice Lane that terminates approximately 1,050 feet west of this site. In addition, eight (8) inch water lines extend along . Mazylebane Lane and Winterfield Road Relocated in Winterfield Station Subdivision, adjacent to the northern boundary of the request site. Use of the public water system is intended.

Use of the public wastewater system is intended. (Proffered Condition 5) 9 06SNO111-FEB22-BOS ENVIRONMENTAL Drainage and Erosion: The subject property drains to the west to Michaux Creek and then to the James River. There are no existing or anticipated on- or off -site drainage or erosion problems. The property is heavily wooded and, as such, should not be timbered without obtaining a land disturbance permit from the Department of Environmental Engineering (Proffered Condition 7). This will insure that adequate erosion control measures are in place prior to any land disturbance. PUBLIC FACILITIES The need for fire, school, library, park and transportation facilities is identified in the Public Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital Improvement Program. The residential portion of this development will have an impact on these facilities. Fire. fiervi ce The Public Facilities Plan indicates that fire and emergency medical service (EMS) calls are expected to increase forty-four (44) to seventy-eight (78) percent by 2022. Six (6) new fire/rescue stations are recommended for construction by 2022 in the Plan. In addition to the six (6) new stations, the Plan also recommends the expansion of five (5) existing stations. Based on fourteen (14) dwelling units, this request will generate approximately two (2) calls for fire and emergency medical service each year. The applicant has addressed the impact on fire and EMS. (Proffered Condition 6) The Midlothian Fire Station, Company Number 9, and Forest View Volunteer Rescue Squad currently provide fire protection and emergency medical service. When .the property is developed, the number of hydrants, quantity of water needed for fire protection, and access requirements will be evaluated during the plans review process. Proffered Condition 8 indicates that open burning of land clearing debris will be prohibited. This proffer is acceptable. Schools: Approximately seven (7) students will be generated by this development. This property is currently in the Weaver Elementary School attendance zone: capacity - 759, enrollment - 77 8; Midlothian Middle School: capacity - 1,301, enrollment. - 1,45 8; and Midlothian. High School: capacity - 1,589, enrollment - 1,537. The enrollment is based on September 30, 2004, and the capacity is as of 2005-2006. This request will have an impact on all schools involved. There are currently two (2) trailers at Weaver Elementary and six (6) trailers at Midlothian Middle. 10 06SNO111-FEB22-BOS This case, along with others in the zone, will have a significant impact on both elementary and secondary schools in this area. Continued development in this.area of the county will continue to push schools over capacity and will necessitate some form of relief The applicant has not adequately addressed the impact of this development on school facilities. (Proffered Condition 6) T ,ihmries_ Consistent With Board of Supervisors policy, services Facilities County. is assessed County -wide. Based on Plan (2004) identifies a need for the impact of development on library projected population growth, the Public additional library space throughout the Development of this property would most likely affect the existing Midlothian Library. The Public Facilities Plan identifies a need for additional library space to serve this area of the County and recommends a new library in the Robious Road corridor between Huguenot Road and James River Road. The applicant has offered measures to assist in addressing the impact of this development on library facilities. (Proffered Condition 6) Parks and Recreation: The Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for three (3) new regional parks; seven(7) community parks, twenty-nine (29) neighborhood parks and five (5) community centers by 2020. In addition, the Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for ten (10) new or expanded special purpose parks to provide water access or preserve and interpret unique recreational, cultural or environmental resources. The Plan identifies shortfalls in trails and recreational historic sites. The applicant has offered measures to assist in addressing the impact of this proposed development on these Parks and Recreation Facilities. (Proffered Condition 6) Transportation: The property is currently zoned Agricultural (A) and is located on the north side of the Norfolk Southern Railroad just south of the Winterfield Station subdivision. The applicant is requesting rezoning to Residential -Townhouse (R-TH) with a Conditional Use Planned Development to allow exceptions to ordinance requirements. The applicant has proffered a Master Plan for the property (Proffered Condition 1). A related request (case 06SN0110) has been submitted by the applicant for a similar development on property to the west. This property and the property included in case 06SN0110 is separated by a strip of land with an unknown owner (the Unknown Property). The applicant has proffered a maximum density of fourteen (14) dwelling units (Proffered Condition 3). Based on trip rates for townhouses, development could generate approximately 120 average daily trips (ADT). These vehicles will initially be distributed along Winterfield Road, which had a 2005 traffic count of 14,506 ADT. Based on the 11 06SNO 111-FEB22-BOS volume of traffic it carries during peak hours, Winterfield Road is at capacity. (Level of Service E) The Thoroughfare Plan identifies a north/south collector (Winterfield Road Re -Aligned) through the property with'a recommended right-of-way width of seventy (70) feet. The applicant has .proffered to construct Winterfield Road Re -Aligned as shown on the Master Plan and dedicate any right-of-way required for these improvements (Proffered Condition 10). Completion of these improvements as shown on the Master Plan will require acquisition of the Unknown Property as well as Lot 43 of the Winterfield Station subdivision (Tax ID 7257114912). According to Proffered Condition 10.b., if the developer is unable to acquire the right-of- way for construction of the realignment of the Wintefield Road/West Winterfield Road intersection and a cul-de-sac at the southern terminus of Winterfield Road, the developer may request. the County to acquire the right-of-way as a public road improvement. All q costs associated with the acquisition will be borne by the developer. If the County chooses not to assist with the right-of-way acquisition, the developer will not be obligated to acquire the "off -site" right-of-way, and will only be obligated to construct road improvements within available right-of-way. Proffered Condition 10.b. should be modified so that, it only applies to realignment of the existing West Winterfield Road/Winterfield Road intersection. The Transportation Department cannot support this request unless Proffered Condition 1o.b. is modified. Area roads need to be improved to address safety and accommodate the increase in traffic generated by this development. There are no projects in this area included in the VDOT Six -Year Improvement Pro ram. The applicant has proffered to contribute cash, in an amount consistent with the Board of Supervisors' Policy, towards mitigating the traffic impact of this development (Proffered Condition 6). Cash proffers alone do not cover the cost of the improvements needed to accommodate traffic increases from development. Proffered Condition 11 would allow, upon mutual agreement of the Transportation Department and the applicant, the applicant to provide road or sidewalk improvements, other than those in Proffered Condition 10, for a reduction in the Transportation portion of the cash proffer. This proffered condition should not be accepted as written because it reduces the transportation portion of the cash proffer for sidewalk improvements which is not a typical credit toward transportation impacts. The Transportation Department cannot support a reduction in the cash proffer for sidewalk improvements in this area. The Zoning Ordinance allows streets within multi -family developments to be pzivately maintained. Staff recommends that all of the main streets within this project be accepted into the State Highway System. Having these streets accepted into the State Highway System will .ensure their long-term maintenance. The applicant has proffered that all streets which accommodate general traffic circulation will be designed and constructed to State (i.e., the Virginia Department of Transportation) standards and taken into the State System.

The actual number of units and corresponding impact may vary. As noted, this proposed development will have an impact on capital facilities. Staff has calculated the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, parks, libraries, and fire stations at $15,648 per unit. The applicant has been advised that a maximum proffer of $15,600 per unit would defray the cost of the capital facilities necessitated by this proposed development. Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, and proffers accepted from other applicants, the ' applicant has offered cash to assist in defraying the cost of this proposed zoning on such capital facilities (Proffered Condition 6). To address this development's transportation impact, the applicant has proffered conditions that provide, at the County's option, cash payments on a per unit basis or road improvements in lieu of road cash proffer payments or in conjunction with a reduced road cash proffer payment. The transportation option offered includes a credit for sidewalk construction and improvements to the West Winterfield Road/Winterfield Road intersection. The Transportation Department does not support this credit. (Proffered Condition 11) Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been reviewed and it has been determined that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash proffer in this case. 13 06SNO111-FEB22--BOS The Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, through their consideration -of this request, may determine that there are unique circumstances relative to this request that may justify acceptance of proffers as offered for this case. T ANT) T TP%F. Com rehensive Plan: Lies within the boundaries of the Midlothian Area CommunitPlan which suggests the property is appropriate for residential use of 1.01 to 2.5 units per acre. Area Development Trends: Adjacent property to the north is zoned and developed for residential use in Winterfield Station subdivision. Property to the south, south of the railroad right-of-way, is zoned and developed for single-family residential use. Adjacent property to the east is zoned Agricultural' (A) and is occupied by asingle-family residence. Adjacent property to the west is zoned Agricultural (A) and is vacant. The property to the west has zoning action pending and is to be developed as part of the development of the subject property. These development patterns are expected to continue in this area, in accordance with the Plan. Site Design: Densit Uses: The 2.2' acre request property is planned for Residential Townhouse (R-TH) zoning and is to be developed for single-family dwelling units (Textual Statement IV.). The Ordinance requires a minimum of ten (10) acres for R-TH development. The applicant has requested a ten (10) acre exception to this requirement (Textual Statement V. 1. h.). This should be a 7.8 acre exception, as the property consists of 2.2 acres. The development is proposed to have a neo-traditional design, which includes sidewalks, street trees, open spaces and alleys serving the rear of dwelling units. (Textual Statement II A) Proffered Condition 2 limits the development to a maximum of 14 dwelling, yielding a density of approximately 6.4 dwelling units per acre. Single family uses on lots ranging from a minimum of 4,500 square feet to a maximum of 7,999 square feet, are proposed (Textual Statement IV. and V.). As previously noted, the development is proposed to have a neo-traditional design. Other standards include minimum house sizes, foundation and siding treatments, setbacks, provision of sidewalks, street trees, paved driveways and alleys, and garage 14 06SNO111-FEB22-BOS orientation. (Proffered Conditions 3 & 4, and Textual Statement III. B., C., D. and E. and V.) Recreational Facilities: The Textual Statement provides for setbacks, buffers and other restrictions to minimize the impact of recreational uses on surrounding residential uses (Textual Statement III.A.). However, the applicant has requested an exception to the requirement to provide recreational facilities. -(Textual Statement V. 1. j.) Open Space: Typically, in smaller lot developments, minimum areas are required to provide a focal point as one enters the development. While this property is intended to be developed in conjunction with that property which is the subject of Case 06SN011011 the potential exists that the property develops independently. There are no assurances that this property will benefit from the open space and focal point requirements offered as a part of the other proposal. The applicant has requested an exception to the requirement to provide open space (Textual Statement V. 1. i.). While Proffered Condition 13 attempts to address this concern, the proffer would relieve this development from providing any open space if on - street parking is provided on both sides of West Winterfield Road. Restrictive Covenants: Proffered Condition 12 requires recordation of restrictive covenants. It should be noted that the County will only insure the recordation of the covenants and will not be responsible for their enforcement. once the covenants are recorded, they can be changed. CONCLUSIONS The proposed zoning and land uses do not conform to the Midlothian Area Community Plan which suggests the property is appropriate for residential use of 1.01 to 2.5 units per acre. In addition, the proposal, as submitted, fails to provide the typical standards for developments with lots less than 12,000 square feet and transportation concerns relative to right of way acquisition and the impacts on the transportation system have not been addressed. Given these considerations, denial of this request is recommended. 15 06SNO111-FEB22-BOS CASE HISTORY Planning Commission Meeting (11/15105): On their own motion, the Commission deferred this case to December 15, 2005.
