DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting that the fire flow
requirement of 2000 gallons per minute be reduced to available flow in
the main adjacent to his development (in Powell Creek Drive) .
JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUEST: The Applicant has been in contact with the
County Building and Fire Officials. As a result, he is under the opinion
that there are special circumstances in his particular case which would
be supportive in justifying the existing water flow conditions as adequate
for fire protection.
• The foregoing information is complete and correct to the best of my
knowledge. I have read and understand the provisions of the Albemarle County
Zoning Ordinance ap licable to this application.

2 . Alternative Fire Protection Measures: Section 32 .7. 6 FIRE
PROTECTION requires that hydrant flow be as prescribed by
ISO. On several occasions in the past, the Fire Official
has recommended alternative measures intended to equally
satisfy or exceed such requirements. In this particular
case, the Fire Official has recommended that a sprinkler
system together with available fire hydrant flow would
provide equivalent or superior protection. Section
32. 3 . 11. 1 of the Zoning Ordinance states that:
32 .3 . 11 WAIVER, VARIATION, SUBSTITUTION
32.3 .11. 1 The commission may waive, vary or accept
substitution for any requirement of Section 32 .7,
minimum standards for improvements, in a
particular case upon a finding that requirement of
such improvement would not forward the purposes of
this ordinance or otherwise serve the public
interest; or in the case of substitution, that
such alternative will satisfy the purpose of this
ordinance to at least an equivalent degree as the
requirement improvement. (Added 5-1-87) .
3 . SUMMARY: The Code of Virginia outlines fire protection as a
requirement and responsibility of zoning. Zoning densities
are not guaranteed; requirements of 32 .0 SITE DEVELOPMENT
PLAN must be satisfied. Alternate fire protection measures
are available which would permit development as proposed.
Also, the applicant could modify the plan to meet existing
flow conditions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Director of Inspections (as Fire Official) has recommended
disapproval of this waiver request (See Attachment B) . Staff
opinion is that conditions imposed by the Planning Commission in
approval of a site plan are intended to be essential to and non
severable from the action to approve. Since the applicant is
unwilling to comply with a specific condition of approval, with
the minimum requirements of 32.7. 6 FIRE PROTECTION, and since the
applicant's proposal does not satisfy the requirements of
32.3 . 11. 1, Staff recommends denial of the Greens at Hollymead
Site Plan.
NOTE: Should the Planning Commission deny this site plan, the
applicant may appeal to the Board of Supervisors in accordance
with Section 32 .3 . 10 APPEALS of the Zoning Ordinance.

SITE REVIEW COMMENTS - THE GREENS OF HOLLYMEAD
1) The following items are required to be submitted by the
revision deadline if the above-noted site plan is to proceed
to Planning Commission review:
a) As staff mentioned at Site Review, please submit in
writing, or graphically illustrate how the residue
acreage of parcel 26B will have access. We had
discussed a number of access options at Site
Review;
b) If the applicant proposes any off-site grading, please
submit a letter(s) of easement from adjacent property
owners authorizing the applicant to perform such
activity on adjacent parcels;
c) Please submit an updated density plan indicating the
proposed shift in unit density from an adjacent parcel
to parcel 26B;
d) Please provide a pedestrian walkway system for this
development. Walkways enabling pedestrians to walk
safely and conveniently shall be provided, while
allowing access to open space and recreation areas;
e) Staff would recommend that a sidewalk be installed from
the recreation area to Powell Creek Drive. Since it is
likely that the entrance of this development could be a
potential bus stop, staff would recommend that an area
be reserved for this purpose;
f) Staff suggest that the applicant consolidate the
for buildings 1, 2, and 3 . Consolidation of
these entrances would reduce the amount of friction
on the internal road when entering the development;
g) Please contact Jay Schlothauer in the Inspections
Department to discuss further options for meeting
fire protection requirements for this development.
The following items will be required at a later date:
A) A landscape plan.
B) A plat indicating a subdivision of Tax Map 46 Parcel
26B.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John T. P. Horne - Director of Planning
FROM: Jesse R. Hurt - Director of Inspections /,•
DATE: January 20, 1989
RE: The Greens at Hollynmead - Request for wavier
from Fire Flow Requirements
Mr. David Wilderman of Case Edwards Development, Inc. is
requesting a wavier from the Planning Commission as to the fire
flow requirements (GPM) for the above site.
The actual fire flow at this site is 1500 GPM. The required fire
flow is 2750 GPM for Building 13/14. If fire separation is
provided between Building 13/14, then the required fire flow may
be reduced to 2000 GPM. The required fire flow for the rest of
the buildings is 2000 GPM.
I would not recommend a wavier because Section 32 . 7 . 6 . 1 of the
Zoning Ordinance states that the fire flow requirements shall be
as prescribed by ISO Standards. Also, this Section states that
the Fire Official may require such alternative provisions as
deemed necessary to provide adequate fire protection.
The alternative protection that I required was two options:
1. Install sprinklers in accordance with NFPA-13 and NFPA-13D or
2 . Provide fire separation (floor, ceiling, walls) between units.
