Re: Farmington Indoor Tennis Building
Board of Supervisors - Petition
Dear Mr. Marshall,
Farmington Country Club is proposing to build an indoor Tennis Building and is submitting a
Preliminary Site Plan to the County for Planning Commission review on February 24, 1998 and a Special
Use Permit Application for the April 15, 1998 Board of Supervisors meeting. As part of the approval
process, the applicant is required to petition the Board of Supervisors to extend the Albemarle County
Service Authority jurisdictional area to include this facility. Farmington Country Club has ACSA supplied
water and sewer to the clubs' buildings. The Farmington sewer line is owned by the club and it drains to a
club owned pump station (near the old treatment plant on Rte 601), which through a force main, is
pumped to the Morey Creek Interceptor/Crozet sewer line. We have been informed by the ACSA that
the force main and associated sewer line capacities are more than adequate to accept the sewage from
this building.
Background Information
A Preliminary Site Plan and Special Use Permit were approved for a similar project in March of
1992. The project did not proceed at that time. A new project of reduced scope is now being proposed
for the same site. The project will have bathroom facilities which will connect to Farmington's private
sewer line.
The ACSA designates jurisdictional areas throughout Albemarle County for services of water and
sewer. The County jurisdictional map indicates an area encompassing the club's various building facilities
for connection to the sewer line, including two small buildings in a portion of the proposed Indoor Tennis
Building site; all other residential areas in the Farmington subdivision are excluded from the right to
connect to the sewer line and have private septic drain field systems. •
During a meeting in the spring of 1991 with Paul Shoop (ACSA engineer), we were advised that he
did not see any problems with the proposed building location, since the main sewer line from the club is
adjacent to the proposed site. When questioned that the building would be outside of the
"jurisdictional" area encompassing the club, he replied that he did not believe there would be a problem,
since this building would be considered an extension of the club's facilities, connecting to a sewer line
owned by the club. I asked him to check into this further to confirm his opinion. Paul called me on May
23rd, 1991 to state that he was not sure of his opinion and that because the jurisdictional map did not
technically include the proposed site,that it might be necessary to petition the Albemarle County Board

of Supervisors for an extension of the jurisdictional area. He then stated that if this were required,that
the Board would in all likelihood, ask the County Attorney for an opinion. I then called George St.John,
the County Attorney to further discuss the matter. After our conversation, Mr. St.John said that, in his
opinion,this facility would be an extension of the club's private facilities for the club's members, and that
he would recommend approval of such a request, which he subsequently did at the Planning Commission
meeting. He also said in the course of applying for the Special Use Permit,that the approval should be
secured from the ACSA which would obviate the necessity of applying for further approval during the
Site Plan Review process.
I would agree with Mr. St.John and submit that Farmington has a vested right to access to the club
owned sewer line in connection with the extension of its private facilities. Thank you in advance for
your assistance in bringing this matter to the Boards' attention. I will be happy to meet with you to discuss
this matter at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Peter . Sheeran AIA
