REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND: On April 5, 1995, the Board of Supervisors approved a request to amend the service area
boundaries of the Albemarle County Service Authority for water and sewer to include parcels 88, 88A, 89, 90,
90A and 93 on Tax Map 56 in the Crozet Growth Area. Recently, in the course of reviewing a development
proposal including Parcel 88B, adjacent to those parcels, it was realized that Parcel 88B was inadvertantly
omitted from the request to be included in the Jurisdictional Area for water and sewer. Parcel 88B had been
included in the applicant's request for amendment of the Jurisdictional Area, but staff had thought that parcel was
already included in the Jurisdictional Area for water and sewer. Upon closer inspection, it is now realized that
Parcel 88B was included in the Jurisdictional Area, but only for "water only to existing structures." Staff is now
requesting official action to correct this mistake.
DISCUSSION: The Board's action in April allowed for the Highlands West development and some associated
development along Route 240 to be served by water and sewer. The staff report for that action noted that it is
not clear why the parcels west and east of parcels 88 through 90 are designated for water only to existing
structures, but that may have resulted from some uncertainty about what areas would drain naturally to the
Lickinghole Creek until the Regional Sedimentation Basin design was completed. Since Pacel 88B is a very small
parcel and the Service Authority Jurisdictional Area maps are at a small scale, it was difficult to see that Parcel
88B was one of the parcels designated as "water to existing structures only." A copy of the reduced-scale tax
map and of the Jurisdictional Area map and key is included as Attachment A. The Albemarle County Service
Authority indicates that water and sewer lines are reasonably accessible to all of these parcels and that sufficient
capacity exists to serve reasonable development of them.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of this request 'to include Parcel 88B on Tax Map 56 in the Service
Authority Jurisdictional Area for water and sewer will correct the inadvertant omission of this parcel from the
request approved in April 1995. The County Attorney advises that a public hearing for this action is necessary.
