Public
Water System:
There is an existing sixteen (16) inch water line along the south side of Midlothian
Turnpike adjacent to the northwestern boundary of the request site. In addition, there is
a twelve (12) inch water line along Farnham Drive ending adjacent to the eastern boundary
of the request site. A twelve (12) inch water line is also located at the intersection of
Famham Drive and Summerfield Drive, west of the request site. With development of the
request site, the twelve (12) inch water lines should be interconnected to insure that
sufficient pressure for domestic and fire flow needs will be available, and that a dual water
supply source will be provided. At the time of site plan or tentative subdivision plan
review, specific recommendations will be made to ensure that adequate water flows are
provided.
Use of the public water system is intended and required by conditions of zoning approval
for Case 95SN0186. These conditions will remain applicable with the approval of the
current request.
Wastewater System:
There is an existing thirty (30) inch wastewater trunk line extending along Falling Creek
adjacent to the west boundary of the request site. In addition, there is an existing twelve
(12) inch wastewater trunk line along a tributary of Falling Creek, approximately 400 feet
east of the request site.
Use of the public water system is intended and required by conditions of zoning approval
for Case 95SN0186. These conditions will remain applicable with the approval of the
current request.
6
98SN0123/WP/APR22J
ENVIRONMENTAL
Drainage and Erosion:
The request property is bounded by the Falling Creek floodplain and the Stonehenge Golf
Course. The site drains through either the golf course property or directly into Falling
Creek after flowing beneath Farnham Drive. A substantial portion of the property that
drains toward the golf course flows into an existing small pond adjacent to the southern
property line. A small portion of the property may also drain to the east, into'the Routes
60/147 Drainage District. Any water that drains towards the District must pay a pro-rata
share for improvements in conjunction with recordation of any right-of-way, or prior to
obtaining building permits.
The request property is sparsely to heavily vegetated. So as to insure that there are no
erosion problems associated with any timbering operation, conditions of zoning approval
for Case 95SN0186 require that there will be no timbering of the property until a land
disturbance permit has been obtained. These conditions will remain applicable with the
approval of the current request.
Some minor erosion problems exist on the sparsely vegetated areas. That portion of the
property lying between Falling Creek and Farnham Drive is located within the 100-year
floodplain.
Existing culverts under Farnham Drive may not be sized to handle additional runoff to the
north. In addition, the golf course frequently floods from Falling Creek; however, the golf
course is a permitted use within a floodplain and is, therefore, subject to flooding. Off-site
easements may be necessary to control runoff, particularly in those areas where the
property does not drain directly into Falling Creek.
The existing pond and drainage structure on the adjacent golf course property is in excess
of twenty (20) years old; therefore, water from those areas of the request property that
drain into the golf course pond should be retained on-site by storing the fifty (50) year
post-development and releasing the two (2) year Pre-development rates, or the pond should
be analyzed and the necessary improvements made such that the primary spillway passes
the ten (10) year storm and the emergency spillway meets Environmental Engineering
criteria. Storage should be provided such that it is not necessary to increase the capacity
of the culverts under existing Famham Drive. Conditions of zoning approval for Case
95SN0186 address these concerns. These conditions will remain applicable with the
approval of the current request.
7 98SN0123/WP/APR2ZI
The property adjacent to Falling Creek is subject to the 100 foot conservation area
requirements of the Chesapeake Bay Regulations. Further, the remaining portions of the
property are subject to the water quality aspects of the Chesapeake Bay Ordinance.
In relation to the master/conceptual plan, the Environmental Engineering Departmem
offers the following comments: The conceptual plan needs to locate the 100-year floodway
and flood fringe, the RPA and verified wetlands if the 100 foot conservation area is
measured from the wetlands.
The recreational area shown on the western side of the entrance road off route 60 is located
not only in the floodplain but also in an RPA. Therefore, the area can be utilized only for
passive recreation with no disturbance of the remaining trees. "Recreation area" as a
description of this area is misleading. In consideration of its extremely restricted status
as an RPA and the few things that can be done such as walking and/or sitting, this area
should be more accurately described as "open space.'
The location of the two BMPs close to Falling Creek is a concern. The BMPs are located
directly off the end of the cul-de-sac and on the outside of a reverse curve, both entering
and exiting the country club. This creates a traffic hazard where none currently exists.
For over 25 years, there has been a straight, open access entering and exiting the entrance
to the country club. Vehicles speeding down the long, straight-away are in jeopardy of not
making the curves and ending up in either pond. Our Ordinances do not address vehicular
safety; however, berms, guardrails or other methods must be used to eliminate traffic
hazards in conjunction with the proposed ponds and should be addressed at this time.
It is almost certain that two of the three BMPs are in both the seaward 50 foot of the
conservation area and the FEMA floodway. Because of the flat topography and their
proximity to Falling Creek, the two BMPs have a good chance of being located in
wetlands. The topography is not conducive to the achievemem of stormwater management
facilities whose conditions and performance would not be harmed by flood waters and/or
backflow. Alternate locations should be explored.
Staff will address these concerns at the time of tentative/site plan review.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fire, school, library, park and transportation facilities is idemified in the Public
Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the FY1998-2002 Capital Improvement Program. This
request, a,s proffered, will not increase the number of dwelling units permitted on the property.
Therefore, there will be no additional impacts on public facilities, based upon the currem rezoning
request.
98SN0123/WP/APR22J
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Plan indicates that Emergency Services calls are expected to increase
forty-five (45) percent by the year 2015. Eight (8) new fire/rescue stations are recommended
for construction by the year 2015 in the Public Facilities Plan. This property is currently
served by the Midlothian Fire/Rescue Station, Company Number 5, and Forest View Rescue
Squad.
When the property is developed, the number of hydrants and quantity of water needed for fire
protection will be evaluated during the plans review process. Also, the need for
ingress/egress for emergency equipment will be determined during the review of the
aforementioned plans.
Considering that the number of residential units, granted with the original zoning, will not
increase, then this request should not generate additional emergency calls for fire and rescue
services.
Transportation:
The subject property was part of a 67.5 acre rezoning case (Case 95SN0186) approved by
the Board of Supervisors in April, 1995. The requested amendment to the land uses on
Parcel B, which will now allow development of an adult day care facility, will have a
minimal traffic impact on the existing transportation network.
The applicant has submitted a proffer that requires an owners association, as provided by
the Virginia Condominium Act, to be created for the maintenance of all private roads and
drives constructed on Parcels A and B. 0~roffered Conditions 2 and 8)
Condition 22 of Case 95SN0186 requires the developer to relocate Farnham Drive. The
plans submitted with this application are consistent with previous plans approved by the
Board of Supervisors for the relocation of Famham Drive. At time of site plan or road
and drainage plan approval, specific recommendations will be provided regarding the
design of Farnham Drive relocated.
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Midlothian Area Communi[y Land Use and Transportation
Plan which suggests the request property is appropriate for planned transition area uses.
9 98SN0123/WP/APR22J
Area Development Trends:
Properties along this portion of the Midlothian Turnpike Corridor is characterized by a mix
of agricultural, office and commercial zoning and land uses, transitioning to single family
residences south of the corridor. It is anticipated that this land use pattern will continue. In
particular, the request property was zoned in conjunction with adjacent property to the north
and east for a mix of office and commercial uses generally north of Famham Drive and along
Midlothian Turnpike, higher density residential uses on the request property, and single
family residential uses on property to the east, adjacent to lots in Stonehenge Subdivision.
On April 26, 1995, the Board of Supervisors approved rezoning from Agricultural (A) and
Residential (R-15) to: Residential Townhouse (R-TH) with Conditional Use to permit
detached and attached dwelling units; Residential Multi-family (R-MF) with Conditional
Use Planned Development to permit convalescent, nursing and rest homes and bulk
exceptions to R-MF development standards; Corporate Office (0-2); Corporate Office (O-
2) with Conditional Use to permit commercial use exceptions; and Community Business
(C-3) on the request property and adjacent property to the north and east (Case 95SN0186,
Bonarco Associates and Charles M. and Louis D. Marchetti). A mixed use development
with office, commercial and residential uses, to include single family, two-family, cluster
and multifamily residences. 195 dwelling units were planned on that portion of the
property which is now the subject of the current request.
The plan submitted with the application depicts 106 condominium dwellings arranged in
rows of three (3) to five (5) attached units, with access provided via private drives and
roads to Famham Drive, (Parcel A) and twenty-two (22) single family units on small lots,
with access provided via either private or public roads to Farnham Drive (Parcel B). The
applicant has proffered conditions relative to architectural treatment, Master Plan approval,
conceptual layout, building materials, orientation of attached garages, views along
Famham Drive, landscaping, as well as development standards for any adult day care use
developed on Parcel B.
,Architectural Treatment:
The applicant has proffered that the architectural appearance of dwelling units will be
similar to that depicted in the elevations submitted with the application, and that materials
shall consist of brick, composition siding, and asphalt shingles. (Proffered Conditions 1
and 6)
10
98SN0123/WP/APR22J
The applicant has proffered that any adult day care use will have an architectural treatment
that is compatible to these residences. (Proffered Condition 14)
Buffers & Screenins:
Proffered Condition 14 would require that solid waste storage areas (i.e., dumpsters,
garbage cans, u-ash compactors, etc.) for any adult day care use be screened from view of
adjacent property and public rights of way by a solid fence, wall, dense evergreen
plantings or architectural feature, be separated from any residentially zoned property or
any property being used for residential purposes by the principal building, and that such
area within 1,000 feet of any residentially zoned property not be serviced between the
hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Within R-MF and R-TH Districts, the Development Standards Manual requires that solid
waste storage areas (i.e., dumpsters, garbage cans, trash compactors, etc.) be screened
from view of adjacent property and public rights of way by a solid fence, wall, dense
evergreen plantings or architectural feature and shall not be serviced between the hours of
9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Adjacent property to the east is zoned Residential (R- 15) and is vacant. This property
could be developed for a single family residence. The Zoning Ordinance requires a
minimum fifty (50) foot buffer along the eastern property boundary of the request site,
adjacent to this residentially zoned property. As noted herein, the applicant desires
elimination of this buffer with the approval of the current request. The applicant has
proffered a fifty (50) foot setback and twenty-five (25) feet of landscaping within this
setback. (Proffered Condition 15)
Adjacent property to the south is zoned residentially and occupied by SWnehenge Golf
Course and Country Club. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum fifty (50) foot
buffer along the southern property boundary of the request site, adjacent to this
residentially zoned property. As noted herein, the applicant desires elimination of this
buffer with the approval of the current request.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed development conform to the Midlothian Area Community_ Plan which suggests the
property is appropriate for planned transition area uses. In addition, the requested exceptions to
Zoning Ordinance requirements, relative to setbacks, buffers and other development requirements
for multi-family and townhouse uses, will allow a greater flexibility in how the property develops
for planned transitional residential uses, and the requested use exception, to permit adult day care
use, would serve residents of the proposed development, as well as area subdivisions. Conditions
of zoning approval for Case 95SN0186, together with the proffered conditions outlined herein,
further ensure compatibility with existing area residential development.
11 98SN0123/WP/APR22J
