UTILITIES
Public Water System:
There is an existing sixteen (16) inch water line extending along the northeast side of Reams
Road, opposite this site. The existing structure is connected to the public water system. Use
of public water will be required by County Code for any future structure built on this site.
Public Wastewater System:
There is an existing eight (8) inch wastewater collector line extending along the northwest
side of Winters Hill Place approximately ISO feet south of the request site. The existing
structure is served by a private septic system. Section 1 8-60( c) of the County Code requires
connection to the public water system when a water line is less than 200 feet away from a
property line of any lot or parcel and a building permit application has been made for a new
structure. Use of the public wastewater system will be required by County Code for any
future structure built on-site.
ENVIRONMENTAL
This request will have no impact on these facilities.
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 proposed
zoning will not result in an increase in the number of dwelling units. As such, there is no net
increase in the fiscal impact on these facilities.
Transportation:
Reams Road is classified as a major arterial on the County's Thoroughfare Plan with a
recommended right-of-way width of ninety (90) feet. The applicant has proffered to
dedicate forty-five (45) feet of right-of-way along Reams Road adjacent to the property,
measured from the centerline of the road, in accordance with that Plan (Proffered
Condition 2). Access to major arterials should be controlled. The applicant has proffered
that direct access from the property to Reams Road will be limited to one (1) private
driveway. (Proffered Condition 3)
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for medium density residential use of 1.51 to 4.0 units per acre.

Area Development Trends:
Area properties are developed as part of the Winters Hill Place, Archbrooke, Gatewood,
Spring Hill and Providence Subdivisions or are zoned Agricultural and occupied by
single family dwellings. It is anticipated that future redevelopment of properties will be
for residential purposes consistent with densities recommended by the Plan.
Zoning Historv:
On May 3, 2006, two variance applications were considered by the Board of Zoning
Appeals (BZA) on a 2.3 acre parcel for the purpose of an immediate family division for
dwelling purposes. Specifically, subsequent to the proposed division, the southern portion
would not have public road frontage. Further, the northern portion (request property)
would not meet current Agricultural (A) requirements of the Ordinance relative to lot
width and front and side yard setbacks for the existing dwelling. The variance for the
southern portion of the parcel that had no public road frontage was approved (Case
06AN0266). The variances to lot width and building setback requirements for the subject
property were denied (Case 06AN0277). As a result of this BZA decision, the property
could not be divided to build on the southern portion without creating a zoning violation
on the northern portion (request property). This proposed zoning would reduce the lot
width and building setback requirements to those consistent with current conditions,
thereby permitting the family division of the property.
Uses:
Proffered Conditions limit the number of dwelling units to one (1). (Proffered Condition
1)
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the Northern Area Plan which suggests the
property is appropriate for medium density residential use of 1.51 to 4.0 units per acre. Further,
the proposed zoning is representative of, and compatible with, existing area residential
development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
