Subject: Critical Slopes Waiver approved for
SDP201100082 Boar's Head Sports Club Squash Club Expansion - Major
The Albemarle County Planning Division hereby approves the request for a critical slopes
waiver.
In granting this waiver, the following was considered:
4.2 CRITICAL SLOPES
These provisions are created to implement the comprehensive plan by protecting and conserving steep hillsides
together with public drinking water supplies and flood plain areas and in recognition of increased potential for soil
erosion, sedimentation, water pollution and septic disposal problems associated with the development of those areas
described in the comprehensive plan as critical slopes.
It is hereby recognized that such development of critical slopes may result in:
rapid and/or large -scale movement of soil and rock; not anticipated
excessive stormwater run -off; not anticipated
siltation of natural and man -made bodies of water; not anticipated
loss of aesthetic resource; manmade/landscaping will be replaced
in the event of septic system failure, a greater travel distance of septic effluent, all of
which constitute potential dangers to the public health, safety and/or welfare.
not anticipated, no negative impacts to public health, safety, and /or welfare
These provisions are intended to direct building and septic system locations to terrain more suitable to development
and to discourage development on critical slopes, and to supplement other regulations regarding protection of public
water supplies and encroachment of development into flood plains. (Amended 11- 15 -89)
