RE: ZMA2018-018 River's Edge
Request for Central'Sewerage System Chapter 16 ArticIe I
Dear Ms. Borgersen,
Chapter 16 Article I of the Code of Albemarle outlines the procedures for the establishment of a central
sewerage system. In conjunction with a request to rezone TMP 32-5A and 32-5A1 (the "River's Edge
PRD"), which would allow a maximum of 100 dwelling.units on a 32.5-acre site off Seminole Trail;.
River's.Edge Holdings LLC and Rivers Edge.Associates LLC(collectively,the "applicant")requests
permission to construct a central sewerage system for the River's Edge PRD. In accordance with Sec.
16-102,please consider this request the required notice for this proposal to establish a central sewerage
system.
Location:
The central sewerage system would be located on TMP 03200-00-00-005A1 and 03200-00-00-005A0
. near coordinates 38.15280, -7.8.41699.
Connection Numbers:
The central.sewerage system would serve 100 dwelling units.
Statement of Proposal and Description:
The central sewerage system would consist of a system of.sewer laterals from each dwelling which
would connect:to.a private gravity main that would drain into a private pump station. This pump station
would push effluent through a private sanitary. force main, where it would tie into anew public sanitary
manhole just outside Rte. 29 North. From this manhole,waste will flow through a public gravity main
under Rte. 29 to an existing public manhole at the Rivanna Sewer and Water Authority pump station,
directly across from the.site..
The intent of the River's Edge PRD is to create rental units under single ownership. The:proposed
development is_on a:single parcel with no proposed subdivision. Since the parcel is surrounded by steep
slopes,floodplain, and the North Fork Rivanna River, it is impractical to extend the system to adjoining
parcels. Any potential public offsite connection to.a sewer system would be highly unlikely due to these
conditions and:the regulatory difficulty involving in crossing the North Fork Rivanna River..Since the
system requires a pump station and force main line, and since it only serves a single parcel, and since
future offsite public connection-to any part of the sewer system.on this property is unlikely, it would be.
impractical to burden the Albemarle County Service.Authority and its constituents.with the maintenance
and operation of these.facilities.

Granting permission of a central sewerage system will allow the Applicant to achieve one of the
project's key goals:.developing independent dwelling units that are environmentally and aesthetically
sensitive, all without creating financial and managerial burdens for public utilities.
