REQUEST
Amendment of zoning approval (Cases 04SN0306 and 14SN0560) relative to cash proffersin a
Residential (R-88) District. Specifically, amendments to Proffered Condition2 of Case 04SN0306
and Proffered Condition 3of Case 14SN0560 are planned to modify cash proffer payments to
offer a road cash proffer.
Notes:
A.Conditions may be imposed or the property owner may proffer conditions.
B.Proffered conditions and approved zoning conditions are located in Attachments 1 – 3.
SUMMARY
The development (Cypress Glen) is planned for a 33-lot single family subdivision.
A lot yield of approximately 25 units was anticipated with Case 04SN0306 and the current cash
proffer amount is $19,801 per dwelling unit. Case 14SN0560 was approved to permit 3 units and
the current cash proffer amount is $21,663 per dwelling unit. The current total potential value of
the approved cash proffer equates to $560,989.
With this request, the applicant has requested reduce the cash proffer to $9,400 per dwelling
unit; equating to a total potential value of $310,200. However, the applicant has also proffered
the option to provide improvements to the north line of Woodpecker Road or other offsite road
improvements which have not been identified in lieu of the per unit cash payment, as agreed to
by the Transportation Department. The offsite road improvements to Woodpecker Road are
valued at $311,553 (See map on Page 8). To provide a more like comparison of the value of the
proposed improvements versus total value of the outstanding cash proffers, staff has converted
the string of projected, future payments into current dollars. Therefore, the potential calculated
total of $560,989 is valued at $404,029 in current dollars.
The current proposal (summarized on pages 5 and 6)would result in a development comparable
in quality to that of the surrounding area.

The applicant has proffered a maximum of 33 units (Proffered Condition 7). Based on those
numbers of units and applying trip generation rates for single-family dwelling, development
could generate approximately 375 average daily trips. Traffic generated by development of the
property will be initially distributed along Nash Road.
619SN0580-2019OCT23-BOS-RPT
Nash Road is a major arterial with a recommended right of way width of 90 feet, as identified
on the /ƚǒƓƷǤ ŷƚƩƚǒŭŷŅğƩĻ tƌğƓ. Nash Road is currently a two-lane roadway. Sections of the
road in the vicinity of the site have been improved in conjunction with adjacent residential
development. Other sections of the road are substandard, with approximately 10-foot lane
widths and no usable shoulders. VDOT minimum geometric design standards recommend this
road have 12-foot lane widths and 10-foot shoulders. In 2018, the traffic count on Nash Road
in the substandard
sections).
Section 19.1-231 of the County Code outlines the general requirements to meet the needs of
the traffic generated by a proposed development, including acceptable levels of service. This
proposed residential development would contribute to an identifiable need for transportation
improvements. The applicant has offered the following:
Dedication (Proffered Condition 4A of Case 14SN0560):
45 foot right-of-way dedication from centerline of Nash Road adjacent to the Property.
Vehicular Access (Proffered Condition 4B of Case 14SN0560):
Direct access to Nash Road limited to 1 public road. (Property will also have access to
Woodland Pond by an existing state-maintained stub connection, Waterfowl Flyway.)
Road Improvements (Proffered Condition 4C of Case 14SN0560):
Left and right turn lanes at approved access to Nash Road.
The property is within Traffic Shed 12, which encompasses a large area in the south-central part
of the county. Like sections of Nash Road, many roads in this part of the county have little or no
shoulders, fixed objects (trees) adjacent to the edge of the pavement and poor vertical and
horizontal alignments. The traffic volume generated from this proposed residential
development will contribute to an identifiable need for transportation facility improvements to
these roads in excess of existing transportation facility capacity. Roads in this shed or which
serve this shed need to be improved or widened to address safety and accommodate increased
traffic, including the increased traffic from the proposed development.
An applicant may choose to address the de
transportation network through dedication of property, construction of road improvements, or
a cash proffer. If an applicant elec
transportation network, Transportation staff has calculated the average impact of a single-
family dwelling unit on the transportation network to be $12,652; however, the Board of
Supervisors has adopted a policy establishing that it would accept a maximum cash proffer of
$9,400 per dwelling unit as addressing the traffic impacts of residential development, with all of
the funds to be dedicated towards improvements to the road network. As such, if the applicant
chooses to address through payment
of a cash proffer, $9,400 per dwelling unit for improvements to the road network would be
appropriate. The traffic impact could be valued at $310,200 ($9,400 x 33).
The applicant has proffered, at his option, to make payments of $9,400 for each residential
dwelling unit, widen/improve westbound lane of Woodpecker Road east of the Nash
719SN0580-2019OCT23-BOS-RPT
Road/Woodpecker intersection for a distance of 350 feet to provide a twelve (12) foot wide
travel lane with a four (4) wide paved shoulder and overlay to the centerline of the existing
pavement (Proffered Condition 1, see exhibit below), or construct other offsite road
improvements not currently identified, as approved by the Transportation Department.
Woodpecker Road improvements were provided since majority of Nash Road has or will be
improved with other developments. These improvements have been estimated to be valued at
approximately $311,553. It should be noted, however, that the actual cost to provide these
improvements could be more or less than this amount. Staff supports the request.

Mission
High performing, high quality public schools contribute to the quality of life and economic
vitality of the County. The comprehensive plan suggests a greater focus should be placed on
linking schools with communities by providing greater access, flexible designs and locations that
better meet the needs of the communities in which they are located.
Capital Improvements
The School Board FY2020 adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) continues to support the
2013 voter approved school revitalization program that will replace or renovate ten schools and
construct one new elementary school to add capacity in the Midlothian area of the county. The
ten existing facilities that are part of the revitalization program are Beulah Elementary School,
Crestwood Elementary School, Enon Elementary School, Ettrick Elementary School, Harrowgate
Elementary School, Matoaca Elementary School, Reams Elementary School, Manchester Middle
School, Providence Middle School, and Monacan High School. A replacement Manchester
Middle School is planned for construction on the existing school site, and the Beulah
Elementary School, Enon Elementary School, Providence Middle School, and Monacan High
School projects are complete. Additional school construction projects include a Matoaca
Middle School addition on the east campus site, and the new Matoaca Elementary School will
be constructed on the existing west campus site. Upon completion of the east campus
addition, the current west campus building will be demolished and Matoaca Middle School will
operate as a single, unified campus. Information on the CIP and School Board approved
construction projects can be found in the financial section of the CCPS Adopted Budget for
FY2020.

Planning Commission
7/16/19 Citizen Comments:
Several citizens noted concerns with the request, to include preferred use of cash
proffer to the design of Nash Road between Eastfair and Highland Glen Drives to ensure
road not overtopped by dam; required participation in the Woodland Pond Lakefront
Association and associated covenants; maintaining area property values; and
environmental impacts on lake and protected species.
The applicant noted this case affects existing residentially-zoned property; approved
construction plans address environmental impacts; no lakefront lots are included within
this development; and the applicant has worked with CDOT to identify a road need
within traffic shed (Woodpecker Road).
Commission Discussion:
In response to questions of the Commission, staff clarified this request does not
increase but clarifies the number of lots permitted; stormwater compliance addressed
with construction plans; protected species identified in wetlands permit process;
current Nash Road project road design does not address a dam break; Transportation
Department receptive to alternative road improvements within shed; and request does
not include lakefront property.
In response to questions of the Commission, the applicant indicated he would consider
1419SN0580-2019OCT23-BOS-RPT
transferring proposed road improvements from Woodpecker to Nash Road after
discussing with his project engineer.
