RE: SDP2020-52 Regents School of Charlottesville
Request for Central Sewerage System Sec. 16-102
Dear Mr. Pohl,
In conjunction with the review of SDP2020-52, a final site development plan for the Regents School of
Charlottesville, we, on behalf of Regents School of Charlottesville and Trinity Presbyterian Church
(collectively, the "applicants") request permission to construct a central sewerage system on TMP 07600-
00-00-01700 (the "Regents property") and TMP 07600-00-00-017CO (the "Trinity property"). SDP2020-
52 proposes the construction of a private school on TMP 07600-00-00-01700; a private pump station is to
be located on the Regents property and a force main through the adjacent Trinity Church property, TMP
07600-00-00-01700, will connect the pump station to ACSA services on Fontaine Avenue. The school
site will feature private sewer laterals from the proposed buildings that will connect to a private gravity
main that will ultimately connect to a proposed pump station on Regents School property. The proposed
pump station will be designed to accommodate 13 total connections from Regents School structures. The
total number of connections incorporates structures proposed in this site plan, SDP2020-52, and future
school expansion.
Location:
The central sewerage system will be located on TMP 07600-00-00-01700 and TMP 07600-00-00-017C0.
These properties are located on the south side of Reservoir Road and are just north of the Route
29/Interstate 64 interchange. The central sewerage system on TMP 07600-00-00-01700 would be located
centrally on the property, just to the rear of the proposed building improvements and would connect to the
pump station located on the Regents property, TMP 07600-00-00-01700.
Connection Numbers:
There will be 13 connections on the Regents property.
Statement of Proposal and Description:
The central sewerage system proposed consists of a system of sewer laterals from each structure on the
Regents property, which would connect to a private pump station on -site, that will move effluent through
a 3" sanitary sewer force main to be located on the adjacent Trinity Church property, to Fontaine Avenue
where it will connect to existing public services. A sewer easement between the properties will be
included with the easement plats to be submitted to the County.
A central sewer request is being pursued as no public sewer currently exists in Reservoir Road and there
is not a public sewer utility located on a neighboring property. Additionally, it is practical for this site to
be served by a pump station given the topography of the site and the relationship of the site to the nearest
public sewer; the public utility provider would not want to maintain the pump station serving this site.
The private connections and pump station needed to serve Regents School would provide necessary sewer
functions on -site. As the parcels are of commercial/institutional use, maintenance of the central sewer
912 E. High St. Charlottesville, VA 22902 1434.227.5140 1 shimp-engineering.com
system would fall on the business owners of the properties. A central sewer request would serve these
parcels without placing additional burden on the Albemarle County Service Authority and its constituents
with the maintenance and operation of these facilities.
Regards,
Justin Shimp
