BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting ACSA Jurisdictional Area designation for water and sewer service for the Wickham Pond
Phase Two development approved by the Board of Supervisors at its meeting on September 13, 2006. The parcels,
totaling 19.551 acres are located on the south side of Route 240, adjacent to the previously approved Wickham Pond
residential development (see Attachment A). The parcels are located within the designated Crozet Development Area, in
the Whitehall Magisterial District. The parcels are currently designated for "water only to existing structures." The applicant
is requesting water and sewer service to serve the development.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
2.2 Increase the quality, supply, and protection of the County's water resources.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is located in the Crozet Development Area. The water supply for Crozet is provided by the Beaver
Creek Reservoir and sewer service is provided by the Moore's Creek Treatment Plant via the Crozet Interceptor. The
Comprehensive Plan provides the following concerning the provision of water and sewer service to the Development
Areas:
"General Principle: Urban Areas, Communities, and Villages are to be served by public water and sewer (p. 114)."
"Provide water and sewer service only to areas within the ACSA Jurisdictional Areas (p. 130)."
"Follow the boundaries of the designated Development Areas in delineating Jurisdictional Areas (p.130)."
The Comprehensive Plan recommends serving the Development Areas with public water and sewer service. These
parcels are located within the Crozet Development Area and are currently zoned Neighborhood Model District. Given these
conditions, designating them as part of the ACSA Jurisdictional Area for public water and sewer service would be
consistent with County policy.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The property owner will bear the costs for water and sewer hook-up.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
As a general policy, staff has advised that public utility capacity should be reserved to support development of designated
Development Areas. Since these parcels are located within a designated Development Area, the provision of both water
and sewer service to the property would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies for the provision of public
water and sewer service. Therefore, staff recommends that the Albemarle County Service Authority Jurisdictional Area be
amended to designate Tax Map 56, Parcel 91 and 91 B for water and sewer service.
