December 7, 1977 (Regular-Night Meeting)
A regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia, was held
on December 7, 1977, at 7:30 P.M., in the Albemarle County C~urthouse, Charlottesville,
Vir~ini~
Present: Mrs. Opal D. David and Messrs. Lindsay G. Dorrier, Jr., Gerald E. Fisher,
J. T. Henley, Jr., F. Anthony Iachetta, and W. S. Roudabush.
Officers Present: Guy B. Agnor, Jr.,County Executive; George R. St. gohn, County
Attorney; and Robert W. Tucker, Jr., County Planner.
Agenda Item No. 1. Call to Order. Meeting was called to order at 7:Q1 P.M., by the
Chairman, Gerald E. Fisher. Mr. Fisher noted receipt of a letter of resignation from Mrs.
George (Sally) Thomas from the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. He noted that
a new citizen member for the Commission womld be needed to fill the durationt~~ her term, due
to expire in June, 1978. Mr. Fisher requested that this matter be placed on~Sxt agenda.
Agenda Item No. 2. Dog Ordinance: Public Hearing to amend and reenact Section 4-19 of
the Albemarle County Code to include Country~'~reen Apartments as one of those areas where
dogs are not permitted to run at large. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on November 23 and
November 30, 1977.)
Mr. Agnor said a request was received from the Great Atlantic Management Company,
managers of the Country Green Apartment Complex, requesting the County's Leash Law be ex-
tended to this property. Mr. Agnor noted that not only was the public hearing advertised
in the local paper as required by law, but notices were posted in conspicuous places for view
by the tenants of the apartments.
Mr. Fisher declared the public hearing opened, and first to speak was Mr. David Glover,
property Manager of the Country Green Apartments. Mr. Glover said numerous complaints had
been received from tenants about dogs running at large. He also submitted a letter from the
Sherwood Manor Townhouse Association as follows:
"December 6, 1977
Board of Supervisors
County of Albemarle
Charlottesville, Virginia
Gentlemen:
The board of directors of Sherwood Manor Homeowners' Association requests
your assistance in controlling dogs running un-attended through-out our
neighborhood and surrounding area. We have a strong leash law written in our
covenants and doing our best to keep the dogs contained.
Our development consists largely of young families with children varying
in ages from toddlers to 9-10 years of age. It is essenuial to us that our
children not be threatened by any stray dog. The mothers hare need peace of
mind, also, as it is impossible to watch their youngsters every second of the
day.
We have a fine working relationship started with Country Green of Sherwood
and need to work hand-in-hand with them to better our living conditions and
standards we seek. Therefore, we request your assistance in enforcing a
strong leash law in the surrounding areas of Sherwood Manor, especially
Country Green of Sherwood. We feel this is of great importance to us as our
properties are adjacent to one another.
We look optimistically towards positive action on your initiatives.
Thanking you in advance.
Sincerely,
(Gary Stearns)
Board of Directors
SHERWOOD MANOR HOMEOWNERS" ASSOC."
No one else from the public wished to speak either for or against this ordinance, and
~. Fisher declared the public hearing closed. Motion was offered by Mr. Dorrier, seconded
by Dr. Iachetta, to adopt the following ordinance:
BE IT ORDAINED that the Board of Supervisors of Albemarle County, Virginia,
does hereby amend and reenact Chapter Q, Article II, Division 2, Section 4-19 of
the Albemarle County Code by the addition of the following area:
Division 2~ Running at large.
Section 4-19. In certain areas.
(a) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any dog to permit such dog
to run at large any time within the following designated areas of the county:
(16) Country Green Apartments as p~atted and recorded in the
office of the clerk of the circuit court in Deed Book 453, page 553.
Roll was called and the motion carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.

Agenda Item No. 3. Waiver of Utility Requirements: Subdivision plat of James A.
Nunnally. Mr. Tucker read the County Planning Staff's report:
"Location:
Zoning:
South side of Penn Park Lane
R-2 Residential
Proposal:
Division of three lots, containing 1.113, 1.006, and .873 acres.
Lot 1 is vacant, Lot 2 contains a single-family residence
presently served by a well and septic system, Lot 3 contains
a duplex served by public water and sewer.
Zoning History:
Final Plat was conditionally approved by the Albemarle County
Planning Commission on November 22, 1977, subject to:
1. Lot 1 must be served by public sewer when buil% upon;
2. Lot 2 must be served by public sewer within six months~
3. Albemarle County Service Author%ty approval;
4. Maintenance agreement for joint easement.
Staff Comment:
Mr. Nunnally's intention is to connect Lot 2 to public sewer
when Lot ! is buil~ upon. The size of Lots 1 and 2 requires at
least one utility. Staff opinion is that a waiver is needed
on Lot 2 in order to approve the subdivision at this time, since
it will be served by individual well and septic in the interim
until Lot 1 is built upon."
Mr. Nunnally was present and stated that public water and sewer "trunk lines" are alread
on the property, and that Lot #2 must be connected to the water and sewer lines prior to a
building permit being issued for Lot #1. Mr. Tucker said he would recommend that no certifi-
cate of occupancy be issued until at least one public utility is connected for Lots 1 and 2.
Mr. Fisher azked how this could be assured from a legal standpoint. Mr. St. John said a
condition could be placed on the plat at the time it is recorded. He suggested the wording
as follows: "No building permit shall be issued on Lot #! until such time as Lot #2 is
connected to public utilities."
Motion was offered by Mr. Roudabush, seconded by Dr. Iachetta, to grant the requested
waiver provided that an appropriate restrictive covenant is recorded simultaneously with the
plat, and approved by the County Attorney's Office prior to the signing of the plat. The
covenant to s~ate that no building permit shall be issued on Lot #1 until such time as Lot #2
is connected to public utilities. Roll was then called, and motion carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
Agenda Item No. 4. SP-77-61. Robert Sweeney. To make an existing non-conforming
public garage, with the sale of used cars, conforming under Section 2-1-25 (23). Property
contains 7.75 acres zoned A-1 and is located on the south side of Route 53. County Tax
Map 93, Parcel 47E, Scottsville District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on November 23
and November 30, 1977.)
Mr. Tucker noted that this petition was deferred by the Planning Commission until
January 10, 1978, and recommended that the Board of Supervisors defer hearing same until
February 1, 1978. Motion was offered by Dr. Iachetta, seconded by Mr. Dorrier, to defer
action on SP-77-6t until February 1, 1978. Roll was called, and motion carried by the
following recorded vote:
AYES:
NAYS:
Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
None.
Mr. Tucker noted that since Agenda Items 5, 6~ and 7 are all interrelated, that it would
be more easily understood if they were presented simultaneously.
Agenda Item No. 5. SP-77-73. Rivanna Water &~Sewer Authority. To amend SP-373 (a
special use permit for an advanced wastewater treatment plant) in order to amend one of the
conditions of approval thereon. The 49.52 acres involved is zoned A-1 and located north of
Interstate 64 at the confluence of Moore's Creek and Rivanna River. County Tax Map 77,
Parcel 38B, Rivanna District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on November 23 and November
3O, 1977.)
Mr. Tucker gave the staff's report:
"Request:
Amendment to SP-373, which was granted to Rivanna Water and Sewer
Authority on July 24, 1974, for an advanced wastewater treatment
plant. Applicant is requesting that condition #1 be eliminated.
That condition reads: "That all facilities of the Treatment Plant
be located on or above the 330 foot contour, which represents one
foot above the state standard project floodplain as reported by
the U.S. Corps of Engineers study dated September, 1971."
Acreage: 63.43 acres
Zoning: A-1 Agricultural
Location: North side 1-64, north and south side Moore's Creek between the
Rivanna River and Route 20 Interchange. Vehicular access is by
way of Franklin Street in the City, through the existing Moores
Creek Treatment Plant.
Character of the Area: The site is presently an open knoll and floodplain with
evergreen and deciduous trees on the perimeter. Approximately 1/4-
1/3 of the site lies below the 330 foot contour.

December 7, 1977 (Regular-Night Meeting)
as open space in the plan.
Zoning History: SP-373 for AWT plant approved with conditions on July 24, 1974.
Grading permit for bridge access approved October 24, 1975. Grading
permit to clear and grub property approved August 13, 1976.
Staff Comment:
A plot plan drawn by Paul B. Krebs, Consulting Engineers, was submitted with the
application for SP-373 in May, 1974. It showed all structures to be located above
the natural 330 foot contour, with no fill proposed in the floodplain, except in
conjunction with the construction of the new access bridge across Moore's Creek.
The final site plan, submitted on September 16, 1977, proposes considerable fill
in the floodplain, as well as several structures located below the 330 foot contour.
The plan, therefore, does not meet condition #1 of the special use permit.
Staff requested that the County Engineer review the plan to determine if any of the
structures or fill were located within the floodway, which could increase the
flood level significantly. There is presently no provision in the Flood Plain
ordinance which would allow such structures or fill within the floodway.
The County Engineer has determined by reviewing calculations prepared by Rivanna
Water and Sewer Authority that the proposed plan will increase the flood level
approximately 3.68 feet, thereby possibly causing flooding of about nine dwellings
on Nassau and Franklin Streets which would otherwise possibly not be flooded.
The primary cause of this increase is the location of the holding ponda which
require a large amount of fill within the floodway. The holding ponds were
required by the State Health Department subsequent to approval of SP-373.
Other structures located below the 330 foot contour include the gas storage sphere,
chlorine,storage building and the future final c!arifier #4, all of which will be
relocated; the infiuent and effluent pumping s~ation-wh~ch~w~ll~nO~significantly
increase the flood level, and the holding pond pumping station, located in the
backwater.
The County Engineer has concluded the following:
Some of the AWT structures~are ~ocated within the floodway of Moore's Creek.
However, they are located as they are in order to fulfill their function
respective to the operation of the AWT plant. They should be permitted.
A landfill permit is required, particularly for the dikes which form the holding
ponds. This can be reviewed when application for a building permit is made.
The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority should be required to obtain flood ease-
ments over those properties that are subject to additional flooding by reason
of the construction of the stilling basins, that is, over the area lying between
the intermediate flood line, as predicted by the U,S. Corps of Engineers and the
intermediate flood line above the stilling basins, as calculated by the Rivanna
Water and Sewer Authority.
The gas storage sphere,chlorine storage building and final clarifiers shall be
located above the 330vf~ot elevation, as required in the approved special permit.
Ail other structures shall be allowed ~o remain in their respective locations,
as~s~own'..:~n~e~:iP~a~-~h~ch~compan~e~h~Ri~a~na~at'e~?andiSewer Authority's
~ite plan application.
Based upon the report of the County Engineer, st~ff recommends approval of
this amendment to SP-373, to allow the holding ponds and pump stations to be
located below the natural 330 foot contour."
Mr. Tucker said on November 29, 1977, by a vote of 6/0/1, the Planning commission re-
commended approval with the following conditions:
"1. Site plan approval~ 2. Landfill permit;
3. Approval of proposed amendment to Flood Plain Ordinance and SP-77-77;
4. The tree line (the required 50 foot tree buffer) along Moore's ~reek may be
eliminated, if the engineering study dictates it is necessary to widen or deepen
the channel, in order to eliminate the additional 3.68 feet of flood elevation
caused by the holding ponds." ********
Agenda Item No. 6. Resolution of intent to amend Section 9A-4 of the Zoning Ordinance to
allow pump stations for water or wastewater with their power supply and control devices, hold-
ing ponds, and other appurtenances to water or wastewater systems within the floodway with a
special use permit in keeping with Article 11-13 and site plan approval. (Advertised in the
Daily Progress on November 23 and November 30, 1977.)
Mr. Tucker gave the staff's report:
"This resolution of intent to amend the Flood Plain Ordinance, Article 9A of the
Zoning Ordinance, was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on November 9, 1977.
The need for this amendment became apparent during staff review of the proposed
AWT plant site plan, when it was determined that certain structures were proposed
within the Moore's Creek floodway.
However, approval of this amendment will not mean that approval is given to the
AWT plant site for the location of such structures. This amendment only makes
provisionain the ordinance for that use.
The County Engineer has stated that:
December 7, 1977 (Regular-Night Meeting~t~
4'7 3
"The Engineer, in designing a sewage treatment system,
for obvious reasons employs the force of gravity to the
fullest extent practical. This inevitably leads to the
use of a site close to a river or creek. Treatment
facilities are set above flood levels but pumps and other
appurtenances frequently are Located within the floodway,
and are designed so that the structure is immune to
damage by flooding .... Similar situations can be expected
for the location of water pumps at some future time."
Staff recommends approval of this amendment:
S~ction 9A-4-4:
Pump stations for water or wastewater with their power supply
and control devices, holding ponds and other appurtenances to
water or wastewater systems."
Mr. Tucker said on November 29, by a vote of 6/0/1, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the ~taff's wording. ***********
Agenda Item No. 7. SP-77-77. Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority. To allow the Advanced
Wastewater Treatment Plant pump station, holding ponds and other appurtenances within the
Moores Creek Floodway. The plant is to be located on 49.52 acres zoned A-1 Agriculture,
located north of Interstate 64 at the confluence of Moores Creek and Rivanna River. County
Tax Map 77, Parcel 38B, Rivanna District. (Advertised in the Daily Progress on November 23
and November 30, 1977~)
Mr. Tucker gave the staff's report.
Request:
Advanced wastewater treatment plant pumping stations, holding ponds, and
other appurtenances to be located within the Moore's Creek floodway.
Acreage:
Zoning:
Location:
63.43 acres
A-1 Agricultural
North side 1-64, north and south side Moore's Creek between the Rivanna
River and Route 20 Interchange. Vehicular access is by way of Franklin
Street in the City, through the existing Moore's Creek Treatment Plant.
Character of the Area: The site is presently an open knoll and floodplain with
evergreen and deciduous trees on the perimeter.
Comprehensive Plan: The Plan recognizes this site as the location of the future treat-
ment plant. The Moore's Creek floodplain is proposed as open space in
the plan.
Zoning History: SP-373 for AWT plant approved with condition on July 24, 1974. Grading
permit for bridge access approved October 24, 1975. G~ading permit to clear
and grub property approved August 13,1976.
Staff Comment: As described in SP-77-73, the County Engineer has determined that the
holding ponds and possibly the pumping stations of the proposed AWT plant
are located within the floodway of Moore's Creek. It has also been
determined that the location of the holding ponds will cause the predicted
intermediate flood elevation to rise 3.68 feet immediately upstream, and
the corresponding backwater curve will extend approximately 2,680 feet
upstream.
This increase in the 100-year flood level will possibly cause flooding of
about nine dwellings on Nassau and Franklin Streets which would otherwise
possibly not be flooded.
The County Engineer has informed the staff that there is no way to relocate
the holding ponds on the site and have them function. He states, "The
holding ponds are a requirement of the State Healt~ Department. Their
purpose is to prevent the discharge of raw sewage into the receiving stream
in the event of a power failure or some other untoward happening. This
requires that they be placed at an elevation that allows flow by gravity
from the treatment plant."
The pump stations to be located on the north side of Moore's Creek are not
expected to have a measurable effect on flooding, according to the County
Engineer~ either to raise its level or increase the velocity of flow. He
states that the proposed AWT facility incorporates the existing Moore's
Creek plant and interceptor into its design, and that there is no practical
way to relocate a pumping station outside the floodway.
The influent pump station is located at the end of the Moore's Creek inter-
ceptor, the effluent ~ump station is located at the outfall line from the
Moore's Creek Plant. The second station makes possible the use of the exist-
ing plant as part of the new facility.
The County Engineer has recommended that Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority be
required to obtain flood easements over the properties in question. Another
alternative would be the widening of the Moore's Creek channel in the vicinit~
of the holding ponds.
Staff does not have any problem with the location of the pumping stations
within the floodway, since it is functionally necessary. The ext~sive
fill required for the holding ponds and the resulting impact on the 100-
year flood level is not desirable. However, there does not appear to be
any choice but to locate the ponds as shown.
4?4
December 7, 1977 (Regular-Night Meeting)
Staff recommends approval subject to:
1. Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority shall make every attempt through proper
engineering methods to reduce the flooding impact of the proposed holding ponds;
2. If necessary, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority shall proce~ed forthwith to
obtain flood easements over those properties that are subject to additional
flooding by reason of the construction of the holding ponds."
Mr. Tucker said the Planning Commission, on November 29, 1977, by a vote of 6/0/1, re-
commended approval with the following condition:
"1.
The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority shall widen or deepen the Moore's Creek
channel to eliminate the additional 3.68 feet of flood elevation caused by
the holding ponds."
Mr. J. Harvey Bailey, County Engineer, reported that he had discussed the problem of
rising water due to the holding ponds with an hydrologic expert, and said that original
calculations may have been in error. He reported that additional analysis may prove that the
cause of additional flooding may be caused by the river below the treatment station, rather
than from the holding ponds. He recommended that the last condition as recommended by the
Planning Commission be changed to allow for the possible revision in flood figures. Mr.
Bailey said that the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority was anxious to have this project bid.
Mr. Harry Marshall, Attorney for the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, suggested that
the Board approve the three reques~ with the condition that the Rivanna conduct an engineer-
ing study to determine if indeed a channel change is required. If so, they will be obligated
to make the necessary change; if no change is found necessary they could proceed with the
permission of the County Engineer.
Mr. George Williams, of the Rivanna Authority, reported that their consultant, Mr.
Krebbs, was scheduled to complete his study of the project some time in early January, 1978,
and at that time, bids for the project would be taken.
Mr. Roudabush suggested the rewording of condition number four to state: "The Rivanna
Water and Sewer Authority shall widen, deepen, or rechannel Moore'S Creek to eliminate any
additional flooding which may be caused by the holding ponds", stating that any exact figures
should be left out. Dr. Iachetta stated his concern for the nine families who would be
affected by the backing up of Moore's Creek if the situation is not handled correctly. Mr.
Marshall said the Rivanna Authority would be more than cautious in protecting property of
residents and businesses in the area, because damage suits would be far more costly than the
initial study to correct the problem.
No one else wished to speak either for or against these three petitions, and Mr. Fisher
declared the public hearing closed, but stated that if this matter is deferred, the public
hearing may be reopened at a future date.
Mr. Roudabush offered motion to approve SP-77-73 with the first three conditions re-
commended by the Planning Commission; changing condition #?ifour to read: "The tree line (the
required 50 foot tree buffer) along Moore's Creek may be eliminated if the engineering study
to be performed by the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority dictates that it is necessary to take
steps to widen, deepen or rechannel Moore's Creek". Motion was seconded by Dr. Iachetta and
carried by the following recorded vote:
AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Motion was then offered by Mrs. David, seconded by Mr. Dorrier, to amend Section 9A-4
of the Zoning Ordinance by adding Section 9A~4-4 under uses by special permit. (Wording
set out above.) Roll was called, and motion carried by the following ~recorded vote:
AYES:i~ Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Motion was then offered by Mr. Roudabush, seconded by Mrs. David to approve SP-77-77 but
rewording the recommended condition to read as follows: "The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authorit
shall take whatever steps are necessary, including, but not limited to, widening, deepening or
rechanneling of Moores Creek to eliminate any additional flooding which may be caused by con-
struction of the holding ponds". Roll was called, and motion carried by the following re-
corded vote:
AYES: Mrs. David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
Agenda Item No. 8. Runoff Control Ordinance as related to proposed Reservoir Protective
District. M~. Agnor noted memorandum dated December 1, 1977, from Mr. J. Harvey Bailey,
County Engineer and Mr. Robert W. Tucker, County Planner, which follows:
SUBJECT:
Runoff Control Ordinance and Proposed
Reservoir Protective District
The Engineering and Planning staffs have prepared the following report in
order to give you and the Board of SuperviSors an overview of the Runoff Control
Ordinance since its adoption in September, 1977, and a comparison of this ordinance
with the proposed Reservoir Protective~District followed by our recommendations.
Runoff Control Ordinance
Subsequent to the adoption of the Runoff Control Ordinance,the Runoff Control
Official has reviewed a number of applications which involve single lots and one
application of a high density development. In every case, some level of treatment
of the runoff has been required,~nd in the case of the high density development, it
December 7, 1977 (Regular-Night Meeting)
4 75
well within the limits allowed by zoning. The physical characteristics of the
site indicate that approximately 20 units can be built.
Loss of soil from a development site is determined by use of the U~iversal
Soil Loss equation. Loss of phosphorus is determined as a percentage of the
soil loss, as explained in the Runoff Control Guidelines. The soil loss
equation is:
It shows that there are six major variables which influence the total sediment
loss (A). For the purpose of the Runoff Control Ordinance,the variables are
described as follows. A is the average annual predicted soil loss in tons/acre/year.
K is the soil erodibility factor. The factor is obtained from Appendix I or V of
the Soil Conservation Service-~manual. The 'K' factor is determined by the type of
soil in question. At this time,the SCS has classified and mapped certain parts of
the County into soil types. The determination will be acceptable to the Runoff
Control Official, however, in the event a project site is not within an area that
has been mapped, the applicant must have the soil type investigated. R is the
rainfall factor. For all of - Albemarle County it is 175. L is the slope-length
factor; S is the slope-gradient factor. (LS). (LS) is defined as the topographic
factor and is determined from the table on pages 3 and 4 in the SCS manual. C is the
cropping management factor on cropland and other land uses. It is determined from
tables 2a, b, c, or d in the SCS manual. P is the erosion control practice factor.
On those sites where there are two or more soil types or two or more land uses, the
applicant must figure the soil loss for each separately.
The equation is also used by the applicant as a guide to determine sediment
losses from project sites after development. However, for post-development con-
ditions the 'C' and 'P' factors are determined from charts that reflect the intensity
of development.
Six factors are utilized in the soil loss equation. Of these, 'K' is constant
through the entire county. Readings for the length and steepness of the slope, L and~
S, are combined as the LS factor in the tables provided. C introduces the crop or
cover factor and P reflects agricultural practices. There is~widespread of values
given for most of these factors, depending on field conditions. For instance, the
LS factor varies from 0.04 for a 0.2% slope, 10' long, to 18.24 for a 20% slope,
2000' long. Values for C vary from 0.001 for well stocked, managed woodland to
0.45 for bare ground. Attached is a tabulation of computations which show the
effect of slopes on soil loss using the best factors for pasture and forest on
slopes of 200' and 400',respectively,and a typical value for K.
The g~idelines set a maximum of 135#/acre/year as the limit for soil loss pre-
dicted by use of the Universal Soil. Loss equation. This loss is equaled on~a 400-foot,
5°5% slope or a 200-foot, 7% slope, when covered with the best turf; or a 400',
11% or a 200', 13% slope, where covered with the best forest cover.
The South Rivanna watershed encompasses approximately 243 square miles or
155,000 acres. Betz Environmental Engineers, in their report, state that approximately
41% is in 20% or steeper slopes. The report classes 61% of the area as undeveloped,
27% pasture, 8% crop and 4% developed. The undeveloped land is forested. Crozet is
cited as the only high density development in the watershed, although the report
also states that the area surrounding the reservoir has the highest percentage of
developed land (12%). This area is shown as 10% of the total watershed and there,
fore 1.2% of the total 4% which is classed as developed. This leaves 2.8% for
Crozet. The highest percentage of crop land is also accredited to the immediate
area and is shown as 24%. This is 2.4% of the total shown for the watershed.
Based on the review of applications to date and the tabulated calculations shown
above, the Runoff Control Official concludes the following:
(1) High ~ensity development on land with slopes of 12% or greater will be
severely limited by the application of the Runoff Control Ordinance. On slopes
above l~%,it is doubtful that any development can comply with the ordinance.
(2) Development within the watershed will be further limited by the pro-
vision of the ordinance which requires any sewerage treatment system to be
located a minimum of 200 feet from the margin of the reservoir or from any stream,
perennial or intermittent, within the watershed.
(3) The 41% of the watershed which is on slopes 20% or greater is in its
present use experiencing greater s°il loss than is prescribed by the Runoff Control
Ordinance as the maximum allowable for land after its development.
(4) The application of the Runoff Control Ordinance will provide the desired
protection to the reservoirs, insofar as development is concerned.
Proposed Reservoir Protective District (RPD)
The. Reservoir Protective District was prepared at the direction of the Board
of Supervisors and its purpose is twofold. First, it was prepared as a device to
ai~ in the implementation of our newly adopted Comprehensive Plan. Second, the
RPD was established to provide protection and minimization of pollution and
eutrophication of the county's public drinking water supply impoundments. By
comparing the Runo&f Control Ordinance with the RPD, we found that the existing
Runoff Contro~ Ordinance (ROCO) and the Soil Erosion Ordinance appear to be
providing the protection we sought in the proposed RPD. For example:
476
December 7, 1977 (Regular-Night Meeting)
Setbacks - The RPD would require structures to be setback 200 feet from any
impoundment or stream. The ROCO requires a 200 foot setback from these areas for
sewerage disposal systems. While the Soil Erosion Ordinance has no specific setback
regulations, it i~ conceivable that setbacks could be established on an individual
site basis as a result of the~review process and committee requirements.
Slopes - The RPD would prohibit location of structures on slopes of 25% or
greater. Where applicable, Appendix A of the Soil Erosion Ordinance prohibits
building, grading and excavative activity except such as necessary for roads and
utilities on slopes of 25% or greater. While the ROCO does not directly speak to
slope limitations, slope is a major factor in the runoff calculations.
Uses - The RPD proposes certain uses by special use permit and certain uses
with a runoff control permit. Neither the Soil Erosion Ordinance nor the ROCO
speak directly to uses, however, depending on the character of the given site,
some uses may not be able to conform to the provisions of these existing ordinances.
Impoundments- Bothaexisting ordinances' provisions cover all of the drinking
water impoundments within the ~ounty (Soil Erosion Ordinance does not include Totier
Impoundment). The proposed RPD also recommended that all impoundments be covered
by this overlay district.
Density - The proposed RPD established density according to the slopeof the
given site. Again, while the ROCO does not speak directly to slopes or densities,
the slope characteristics of a parcel do in fact play an important part in the
runoff calculations and does in turn affect the density and intensity of development
within the watersheds of drinking water impoundments.
Recommendation - Based upon the existing experience of the Runoff Control
Ordinance, the Soil Erosion Ordinance, and the similiari2ies between these ordinances
and the proposed Reservoir Protective District, it is our concerted opinion that the
existing ordinances are and will effectively implement the Betz Report recommendations
and the Comprehensive Plan. We, therefore, recommend that-the Board of Supervisors
withdraw their resolution of intent to amend the Zoning Ordinance with a conservation
district."
Dr. Iachetta suggested using common sense, and the Comprehensive Plan, which suggests go-
lng for low density where the land bearing power is not present to accommodate a lot of build-
ings, roads, etc. He said this would eliminate the need for the ordinance, the control
officers and the red tape. Mr. Dorrier said the County should follow the entire water manage-
ment plan suggested by the Betz Study, and not just one small portion. He questioned whether
"conservation" zoning should be applied just to the reservoir, or should it be applied to all
the tributaries leading into the reservoir. Mrs. David said she felt the entire watershed
must be protected in order to obtain the results anticipated in the Betz Report.
At 9:25 P. M., Mr. Fisher declared a two minute recess. Meeting was reconvened at 9:35
P.M. Mr. Fisher then requested that further discussion and vote on this matter be deferred
until Wednesday, December 14, 1977, so that members of the Charlottesville City Council could
be present to observe and participate in the discussion before adoption of an ordinance. He
requested copies of all pertinent staff reports be sent to City Council members for their
information.
Agenda Item No. 9. To consider a proposed amendment to the County Zoning Ordinance and
County Zoning Map to establish a RESERVOIR PROTECTIVE DISTRICT as an overlay zone. The-area
under consideration is that land within the Wate'~she'd of the South Fork Rivanna River Res
ervoirbounded ~y an arc of five-mile radiUs from the water treatment ~lant intake pipe.
Advertised in the Daily Progress on Novle.mber 23 and November 30, ~977. ~.
Mr. Tucker reported that the Planning Commission had not yet acted on this amendment.
Mr. FiSher requested a motion to defer this item until the meeting of December 14, 1977.
Motion was offered by Dr. Iachetta, seconded by Mrs. David, and carried by the following
recorded vote:
AYES: Mrs David and Messrs. Dorrier, Fisher, Henley, Iachetta and Roudabush.
NAYS: None.
