of any lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However,
the sale or transfer of any lot, pursuant to foreclosure, on a
mortgage or any proceeding in lien thereof, shall extinguish
the lien of such assessments as to payments which become
due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall
relieve such lot from liability for any assessments thereafter
becoming due or from the lien thereof. Notwithstanding,
any other provision to the contrary, any assessments,
charges, and costs of the maintenance of the Common
Areas and easement improvements shall constitute a pro-

dignity only to taxes and bona fide duly-recorded deeds of
trust on each lot. (P)

Public Water System:
There is an existing eight (8) inch water line extending along the south side of Hick:s Road,
adjacent to this site. In addition, an eight (8) inch water line extends along Elk:view Drive
and terminates adjacent to the southern boundary of this site. Use of the public water system
is intended. (Proffered Condition 3)
Public Wastewater System:
There is an existing eight (8) inch wastewater collector line extending along Camelback:
Road, approximately 300 feet west of this site. In addition, an eight (8) inch wastewater
collector line extends along Elk:view Drive and terminates adjacent to the southeast
boundary of this site. However, the sewer line in Elk:view Drive is deep enough to only
serve a portion of the request site. Use of the public wastewater system is intended.
(Proffered Condition 3)
ENVIRONMENT AL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the southwest towards Camelback: Road, then VIa
tributaries to Falling Creek:. There are currently no lrnown on- or off-site erosion
problems and none are anticipated after development. There are currently no on-site or
off-site drainage problems however; it appears that off-site easements may be required to
reach an adequate watercourse. This will be addressed with the submittal of the tentative
subdivision.
The property is wooded and, as such, should not be timbered without obtaining a land
disturbance permit from the Department of Environmental Engineering. This will ensure
the adequate erosion control measures are in place prior to any land disturbance.
(Proffered Condition 2)
13
07SN0211-MAR14-BOS
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. This development
will have an impact on these facilities.
Fire Service:
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 new stations, the Plan also recommends the expansion of five (5)
existing stations. Based on twenty-five (25) dwelling units, this request will generate
approximately four (4) calls for fire and emergency medical service each year. The
applicant has addressed the impact on fire and EMS. (Proffered Condition 7)
The Manchester Fire Station, Company Number 2 and the Manchester 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.
To satisfy the requirements of Section 17-76 of the Subdivision Ordinance, when the
cumulative total of homes in a proposed development exceeds fifty (50), a second public
road access to all dwellings should be provided. This requirement is necessary to provide
emergency vehicle a second access to the homes should the other entrance become
block:ed. With the proffered prohibition of access to Hick:s Road, access to the proposed
twenty-five (25) lots would be through the adjacent Bexley Subdivision (Reference
attached Conceptual Subdivision layout). Currently, this access serves thirty-seven (37)
lots within Bexley beyond the intersection of Rams Crossing and Llama Lane. This
proposal would result in a maximum of sixty-two (62) lots served by a single point of
access prompting the applicant to request relief to street access requirements. The
Ordinance states that relief can be granted by the Planning Commission for a maximum
of sixty-two (62) lots at the time of zoning if a preliminary tentative plat is submitted
with sufficient documentation that clearly demonstrates:
A. Existing severe topographic, physical or extenuating circumstance exist so
that there is no other practical means of providing another access; and\
B. Financial hardship is not the principal reason for the waiver; or
C. Without granting relief to these requirements, traffic on an existing local
street will exceed the Planning Commission's Stub Road Policy, as
determined by the Director of Transportation.
14
07SN0211-MAR14-BOS
Safety issues warrant precluding direct access to Hick:s Road at this location. Long term
alternatives for additional access have also been reviewed. Adjacent properties along
Hick:s Road may be redeveloped providing additional access opportunity, however, given
the existing condition of Hick:s Road with its substandard pavement widths, lack: of
shoulders and poor horizontal alignment, the Transportation Department has expressed
concern relative to permitting any additional access to Hick:s Road in this immediate area.
Access through recorded open space located at the intersection of Camelback: and
Broadstone Roads was also reviewed; however, this access would impact an existing
cemetery located adjacent to and west of the subject property. It is also questionable as
to whether such access would meet minimum separation requirements from this
intersection.
The Fire Department prefers maximum accessibility to and from developments in an
emergency situation, should access be block:ed. However, there are extenuating
circumstances in this case that provide for no other practical means of another access to
the property. As such, the Fire Department does not oppose relief to street access
requirements to permit sixty-two (62) lots off one (1) access.
Schools:
Approximately thirteen (13) (Elementary: 6, Middle: 3, High: 4) students will be
generated by this development.
Currently, this site lies in the Davis Elementary School attendance zone: capacity - 674,
enrollment - 691; Providence Middle School zone: capacity - 1,089, enrollment - 926;
and Monacan High School zone: capacity - 1,692, enrollment - 1,558. The enrollment is
based on September 30, 2006 and the capacity is as of 2005-2006. There are currently
two (2) trailers at Davis Elementary and three (3) at Providence Middle.
This case, combined with other tentative residential developments and zoning cases in the
zones, would continue to push these schools to capacity. The applicant has addressed the
impact of the development on school facilities. (Proffered Condition 7).
Libraries:
Consistent with Board of Supervisors' policy, the impact of development on library
services is assessed County-wide. Based on projected population growth, the Public
Facilities Plan identifies a need for additional library space throughout the County.
Development would most lik:ely affect the existing La Prade Library or a proposed new

Park:s and Recreation:
The Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for three (3) new regional park:s, seven (7)
community park:s, twenty-nine (29) neighborhood park:s and five (5) community centers
by 2020. In addition, the Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for ten (10) new or
expanded special purpose park:s 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 park:s and recreational facilities. (Proffered Condition 7)
Transportation:
The property is located on the south side of Hick:s Road adjacent to the Bexley
Cosmopolitan Subdivision. The applicant is requesting rezoning from Agricultural (A) to
Residential (R-12) and relief to the street access requirements. Based on the maximum
density in Proffered Condition 6.c and trip generation rates for single-family detached
housing, development of the property could generate approximately 290 average daily
trips. Some of this traffic will be distributed to Hick:s Road, which had a 2005 traffic
count of 10,911 vehicles per day. Based on the volume of traffic it carried during peak:
hours, Hick:s Road in this area was at capacity (Level of Service E). Some of this traffic
will also travel to Hull Street Road (Route 360) which had a 2003 traffic count of 51,717
vehicles per day between Courthouse Road and Hick:s Road and was functioning at an
acceptable level (Level of Service D).
Hick:s 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 Hick:s Road adjacent to the property,
measured from the centerline of the road, in accordance with that Plan. (Proffered
Condition 4)
Access to major arterials, such as Hick:s Road, should be controlled. The applicant has
proffered that no direct access will be provided from the property to Hick:s Road.
(Proffered Condition 5)
The traffic impact of this development must be addressed. The applicant has proffered to
contribute cash, in an amount consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, towards
mitigating the traffic impact of this request. (Proffered Condition 7)

TOTAL NET COST $391,200 $15,648
* Based on a proffered maximum yield of twenty-five (25) lots (Proffered Condition 6.c.). The
actual number of lots 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, park:s, 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 7)
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.
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.
The Plan is currently being revised.
17
07SN0211-MAR14-BOS
Area Development Trends:
Area properties to the south and west are developed as part of the Bexley Subdivision.
Properties to the north and east are occupied by single family dwellings on acreage
parcels. It is anticipated that any residential redevelopment in the immediate vicinity will
be consistent with the densities recommended by the Plan.
Zoning History:
On June 7, 2006, the Board of Zoning Appeals denied three variances to permit a
dwelling unit on each of the three (3) subject parcels without the required frontage on a
state-maintained right of way. (Cases 06AN0252, 06AN0253 and 06AN0254)
Comparison of Area Lot Sizes and Densities:
Elk:view Drive, which serves the Bexley Cosmopolitan Phase VII Subdivision, is
proposed to serve the subject property. In an effort to address compatibility with the
Bexley Cosmopolitan Phase VII Subdivision, proffered conditions address the average
lots size and density for any lots that have sole access through that development.
(Proffered Condition 6.a and 6.b)
Density of the development shall be limited to twenty-five (25) lots. (Proffered
Condition 6.c)
Side Yard Setback:s:
The applicant has requested a reduction in the side yard setback: requirement from ten
(10) feet to seven and one-half (7.5) feet to accommodate access to side and rear loaded
garages (Proffered Condition 1 -Textual Statement). This reduction is consistent with
that approved for the adjacent Bexley Cosmopolitan Subdivision.
Restrictive Covenants:
Recordation of restrictive covenants has been proffered. It should be noted that the
County will only ensure the recordation of the covenants and will not be responsible for
their enforcement. Once recorded, the covenants may be changed. (Proffered Condition
8)
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. The
proffered conditions adequately address the impacts of this development on necessary capital
facilities, as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the needs
for roads, schools, park:s, libraries and fire stations is identified in the Public Facilities Plan, the
Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital Improvement Program, and the impact of this development is
18
07SN0211-MAR14-BOS
discussed herein. The proffered conditions mitigate the impact on capital facilities, thereby
insuring adequate service levels are maintained and protecting the health, safety and welfare of
County citizens. Given these considerations, approval of the rezoning (Request I) is
recommended.
A second access for more than fifty (50) lots promotes accessibility to and from the development
in an emergency situation should one (1) access be block:ed. This case identifies extenuating
circumstances in accordance with the provision of the Subdivision Ordinance that provide for no
other practical means of a second access. Given these considerations, approval of the relief to
street access requirements (Request II) is recommended.
