Staff Comment: The Engineering Depar~t has reviewed this request
and has stated tbe following: :,
Ii
"We bave reviewed the flood plain qrossing proposed by Broadus
Memorial Baptist Church. The loca~ion of the proposed crossing
is on a branch of a tributary streap. to the Rivanna River. The
flood plain wbich has to be crosse4 is a portion of tbe flood
plain fringe and is actually a res~t of back water from tbe
Rivanna River. It is not a direct ~esult of the tributary stream
where the location of the crossing ~s being made. In our opinion
the impact of this crossing on the ~levation of the 100 year
flood level will be negligible. W~ recolllll6nd approvaL..".
The Virginia Department of Transportatioh has stated tbat the proposed
stream crossing sbould not affect draina~e on Rt. 20.
Cason Farm Road. which lies on the north~rn property line of this
development, does not provide access to this site. The topography in
this area would require any proposed roati to cross a stream which is
in the flood plain and then climb a banklwith grades in excess of 25
,
percent. Therefore, to allow reasonable:usage of this property,
crossing of the flood plain and intrusio~ into steep slopes is neces-
sary.

Relating to a comment that Mr. Cilimberg;made in his staff report in
which he stated that the proposed church location would not have an impact on
adjacent properties, Mr. Lindstrom wondered if there would be a direct view of
the proposed church from Route 20. Mr. Cilimberg answered that, based upon
the staff's initial analysis, he does not bel.eve that there will be a direct
view of the church from Route 20 or from adja~ent properties because the area
is wooded. and although the property is elevated, it should not be the type of
visibility that is greatly apparent. He saidlthat the church could be sited
to have minimal visual impact on Route 20 and;adjacent properties. He added
that the staff would be considering this duri*g site plan review.
Mr. Lindstrom asked if Mr. Cilimberg feels the staff has adequate author-
ity at site plan review to handle the visual impact. or should this condition
be considered by this Board. Mr. Cilimberg r~plied that the condition could
be added to the conditions. but he feels the ~taff can address it during site
