Home My WebLink AboutSDP200800154 Review Comments Preliminary Site Plan 2009-02-02PROJECT DEVELOPMENT LIMITED LC January 5, 2009 To: Glenn Brooks, County Engineer Josh Rubinstein, Groundwater Manager Albemarle County From: Jo Higgins RE: Re- Store'N Station SDP 2008 — 154 Attachment & Information - Comparison Table - This table shows the comparable convenience store locations across the top arranged based upon the gallons per day from left to right - lowest to the highest. Re- Store'N Station has been inserted between Brownsville Market and Shell "Stop in Food "71129 Richmond Rd. Re- Store'N Station will have the same water fixtures as the Shell with the exception of exterior spigots. Re- Store'N Station water usage will exclude exterior water usage(washing of sidewalks or watering landscaping). 2. Table of Convenience Gas Store Locations in Albemarle County - 7 locations . This table includes the specific information on each site. The square footage is from the County Assessor information. The "traffic" information is the vehicle trips per day per VDOT's latest information. The number of pumps, seating, and water devices was compiled from site visits. This information is used in the Comparison Table (Attachment 1). Gas Station Water Usage - This is additional water meter data provided by Albemarle County Service Authority for period Nov 07 to Nov 08 (Months) which includes 7 locations (2 locations were added at the suggestion of Josh R. (and others). Locations that have a car wash were excluded. Locations that have a full restaurant ie Wendy's, Dairy Queen etc. were excluded. The basic data from ACSA is across the page gallons totaled, gallons per month, and gallons per day on the right hand side of the sheet. This information is used in the Comparison Table (Attachment 1). 4. Copy of Email dated 1/5/2009 from Terri Knight of ACSA that goes with the Water Usage data (Attachment 3) provided. 5. Letter (2 pages) Dated Oct 3, 2008 from Old Dominion Engineering to Josh Rubinstein - "Subject: Re- Store'N Station Estimated Water Usage" - This was submitted as part of the Groundwater Study done by Old Dominion Engineering. The water meter data from Albemarle County Service Authority from Dec 06 to Nov 07 for 5 Gas Stations with convenience and food take out service locations was provided. The average water use based upon this data is 725 gallons per day. These specific locations were selected because they are located on busy roads in the County growth area where the water is metered and provide similar food service to Re- Store'N Station. This information was deemed adequate by the County when submitted. Due to the need to further substantiate that the water usage will not exceed 1624 gallons per day, additional information has been requested. This data is presented to demonstrate the following things: 1. The average water used by gas station convenience stores in the area is 969 gpd. This is based upon 7 locations. (This excludes restaurants and car wash) 2. That the "core" water volume used for gas station convenience stores in the area is in the range of 630 — 798. 3. That there is no relationship between water usage and pumps, size of store, parking or traffic on roads at specific locations. 104 Ana Marie Blvd, Waynesboro, Virginia 22980 434 - 326- 0334 (fax) 434 - 326 - 0334 Page 1 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT LIMITED LC 4. That Re- Store'N Station water usage will be approx. 725 gpd which is well under the volume allowed by -right at this site which is 1,624 gpd. The original analysis of 5 convenience store locations was expanded to include 7 convenience store locations. Based upon the Comparison Table, it is evident that there is a direct relationship between the average gallons per day and the water devices installed at each location. There are specific water devices installed at each location which establishes the "core" water usage which are either required by building code or are provided based upon the "take out" food operation. In addition to these water using devices, there are locations that have a higher water usage because of having an ice maker and /or dishwasher in the operation. These same locations have more than 15/16 seats also. In one case, the store serves as a "commissary" to 6 other locations. With respect to size of store versus water usage, there is one of the largest stores (4188sf) that uses the highest volume (1558 gpd) but the smallest store (2525sf) uses the second highest volume (1191 gpd). The second smallest store (2628sf) uses the lowest volume (630gpd). There is no direct relationship between size and volume. Regardless of fixtures or size of store, the average water used is 969 _.gpd. Based upon the Comparison Table, there may be a secondary relationship between the number of seats and the water usage. As mentioned above, there are 3 locations with more than 15 -16 seats. The water usage is greater than 1000 gpd at these specific locations. This may be attributed to having more customers spend time in the store which means the restroom facilities are used more. This is considered in the average Although it has been perceived that size of the store may affect water usage, the basic kitchen area is similar in each convenience store that serves take - out food (these are not fast -food restaurants). The core water usage is very similar regardless of building size. The non - kitchen area that is dedicated to convenience items from band aids to xmas lights varies greatly from store to store. Conclusion — related to Re- Store'N Station In this new convenience store that is located away from other retail shopping, other products such as specialty grocery items, cooler case items, seasonal items and car items such as wiper fluid & small hardware items will be allocated more interior space than stores located near other retail. Due to the need to avoid outdoor display on the EC (which is not allowed without a permit), the specific location of Re- Store'N Station is anticipating more space to be interior display. The Owner has chosen to build a 6,000 sf first floor with 1,000 sf of Owner occupied office space above. This store is sized to include interior display spaces and more cold box storage which will reduce the number of delivery trips necessary to stock the store. None of the expanded extra interior space will affect the water usage because it will not be used for water using devices. This can be verified when the building plans are submitted for review and permitting. As part of the sustainable design, the site design for Re- Store'N Station includes a "rain box ". The roof drains from the building and from the canopy will be piped into a tank then pumped to re -cycle the storm water run- off so it can be re -used to water landscaping and keep the exterior sidewalks clean. This will virtually eliminate the storm water runoff that is required to be controlled. This can be verified when the Final Site Plan is submitted for review and approval. Since the site has adequate area for a future building, the building design will include a well water meter so records of water use can be maintained to document the exact water usage and provide supporting data to evaluate how much of the 1,624 gpd will remain available for future uses. This information will be available to the County once the store is operational. Based upon the information submitted, Re- Store'N Station will use much less water than the allowable limit of 1,624 gpd. There is no basis to establish that the by -right allowable limit will be exceeded. If you have any additional questions, please advise. 104 Ana Marie Blvd, Waynesboro, Virginia 22980 434 - 326- 0334 (fax) 434 - 326 - 0334 Page 2 Comparison Table typical code requirements - mop sink, small hand sink, 1 men sink & toilet, 1 women sink & toilet Note 1 - Serves as commissary for 6 other "Market" locations Note 2 - Some may have ATM's inside but this convenience store includes a detached Bank branch - VNB Based upon the data provided - the "core" usage for convenience gas store is based upon water devices that each location has and possibly related to seating. The core usage is between 630 - 798. The locations that use more than the "core" amount have water devices that are high water users - such as dishwasher or ice maker or both. All have 1 to 3 - ext. spigots or yard hydrants to wash the sidewalk & pump area and watering landscaping. No direct relationship can be shown between the sq. Ft, number of gas pumps or traffic at the location. This data shows a direct relationship between the water useage and water using devices. This data may show that locations with over 15 seats uses more water possibly because the customers that use "seating" may use the restroom facilities at a higher rate of frequently. Re- Store'N Station will have water devices like Shell or Like Brownsville with 1 add'I men, ladd'I women toilet.

Average Daily mater Usage Water usage data was obtained for five similar facilities_ Each of them have a convenience store, deli and gas pumps. Based on this data, the average water usage was 725 gpd. The facility most similes, to the Re- Store'N Station in terms of size and location is the Brownsville Market whose average water usage was 648 gpd. However, for the Re- Store'N Station., the more comprehensive average of 725 gpd will be used. This water usage is far less than 2000 gallons per day. A Tier III Groundwater Assessment is adequate for the proposed project and no special use permit will be required. Shown below is the actual water usage data and the locations of the similar facilities. Average water usage of all facilities is 21,750 gallons per month or 725 gallons p< °r day.
