Richardson BACKGROUND: Eastern Avenue was identified in the Crozet Master Plan as an essential part of the plan to achieve the goals for transportation improvements in Crozet. The County has been acquiring rights -of -way from property owners along the recommended street alignment, and portions of Eastern Avenue have already been constructed. A new segment has been constructed, but the right-of-way has not yet been dedicated. Prior to the recent road construction, the County acquired approximately one acre of land adjacent to this segment of Eastern Avenue (Parcel 056HO-00-00- 00000). The parcel was identified as open space on the plat of record. Therefore, the County is an owner of property needed for sidewalk and street improvements that will be within right-of-way for this segment of Eastern Avenue. STRATEGIC PLAN: Infrastructure Investment: Prioritize, plan, and invest in critical infrastructure that responds to past and future changes and improves the capacity to serve community needs DISCUSSION: Eastern Avenue is identified as a recommended public street by the Crozet Master Plan. Segments of Eastern Avenue have been constructed since the time of the Master Plan's adoption. A new segment has been constructed by a private developer that will connect the neighborhoods of Westhall and Westlake Hills to the Foothill Crossings and Glenbrook subdivisions. Eastern Avenue will be maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). VDOT acceptance of this portion of the road requires dedication of public right-of-way from County -owned Parcel 056HO-00-00-00000. The attached plat shows the 0.057-acre portion of the County parcel proposed for dedication to public use for improvements associated with this segment of Eastern Avenue (Attachment A). The dedication of County -owned property for the proposed Eastern Avenue does not require a public hearing, but does necessitate the Board's approval and authorization of the County Executive to sign the plat of dedication. BUDGET IMPACT: This project is being funded through a private development project RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County Executive to sign a plat dedicating a portion of this County -owned property for the proposed Eastern Avenue.
