"Mi2[0 OF UNDER~ANDING AND 1RECOIIMENDATION
State Highway Department
Albemarle County Planning Department
SUBJECT: Hollymead
April 17, 1972
From Route 29 easterly to Hollymead School will have a 60 foot right of way.
The road intersecting this road leading north and south in front of the Holly-
mead School will have an 80 foot right of way with the exception of that
portion which in the future will cross the now constructed dam, and the right
of way on that will be 60 feet.
The right of way on the road as mentioned in #2 v~l! be 80 feet in the future
extension of this road northward to the Proffit Road, and southerly to the
~oute 643.
The dam that has been constructed will be tested and plans and specifications
will be submitted for inclusion into the highway system with the next PUD
addition in this area.
The entrances from 29 North into Hollymead will be made one-way or widened
at the ov~ers expense at such time as the Highway Department determines
commercial area is developed to a sta~e of congestion requiring better
facilities.
That no bulldozing, grading, or physical movement of the land for roads take
place on any of the lands known as Hollymead or within the vicinity of Holly-
mead until the proper land plan and road plans are s~bmitted and approved
by A~bemarle County and the Virginia Department of Highways.
Hollymead ~UD #~ road system is so designed to have the maximum carrying
capacity of 740 dwelling units. The first 8~ dwelling units may be located
on roads that now exist.
No permits will be issued until one of the following steps takes place:
l a)
Increase the existing thickness of pavement by the addition of 3"
330 lbs. ) of Bituminous concrete, type B1 or B-3 and a surface primer and
double seal. We feel that this pavement will closely approximate item 6 of
category IV with the base and surface types of Bituminous concrete reversed
and proved a seal and travel coat on the base concrete for protection from
infiltration and an acceptable riding surface. No regrading of the road
cross-section is contemplated in the intermediate step. The shoulder width
~ll remain the same with the slope increased from 1": 1' to I .~'~: 1 '.
(b) The final step will require the regr~ading of the shoulders to obtain
a 10' shoulder width on fill sections and 8' plus ditch on cut sections,
plus an increase of pavement thickness to obtain the equivalent of category
V design.
(c) The intermediate step provided 8" of select material, 220 lbs. of
Bituminous concrete and 330 pounds of B-t or B-3, a total of ~0 pounds.
116
If we equate the 8" select material as 6" of select material and 1~0 pounds
of B-1 - B-3 Bituminous concrete, by adding 220 pounds of type S~4 or S-5
to the Intermediate Step, the equivalent of Item 6 of Category V is obDained.

~' Har~ey Bailey,
Albemarle Co~ty Engineer"
Mr. J. Harvey Bailey, County Engineer, was called upon for staff recommenda-
tions with regard to sewer. Mr. Bailey went into the history of proposed sewer
for t~is area after which he proposed the following recommendations:
1. The County should instruct the Service Authority to construct interceptor to
serve northside school and should guarantee financing if the Authority is
unable on its own to obtain a loan for this purpose.
2. The County should require an escrow fund of the owner to guarantee the connec-
tion of the projected 85 dwellings which are authorized to build, as if septic
systems, to the central sewer system.
3- No further septic systems are to be installed after the interceptor is
available for use by employing gravity collector lines even if not all of
the authorized 85 have been built. Collector lines are the responsibility
of the owner.
4. The escrow fund shall be held for five years ~or until all the septic systems
have been connected, whichever is the lesser, and then dispersed, the County
to receive the amount stipulaled per connection for each house built.
After hearing from the County Planner and Cotuuty Engineer, discussion was
given to several phases. Mr. Fisher questioned Mr. Bailey regarding escrow plan.
Mr. Henley voiced concern over the timing of the Hollymead project. ~r. Thacker
suggested that the BoRrd exp~o~e the possibility of obtaining Health Department
approval of a larger sewer facility to serve HollYmead temporarily to which the
85 dwellings could connect, on the basis that th.~s larger temporary facility
could be used to serve two southside schools at a future date on a permanent basis.
At conclusion of discussion, motion was offered by Mr. Wood to approve EP-~56 with
conditions as outlined by the County Planner and County Engineer. This motion was
seconded by Mr. Thacker and carried by the following vote:
AYES: Messrs. Fisher, Thacker, '~heeler and ~ood.
NAYS: Nr. Henley.
NOT VOTING: Mr. Carwile.**
**Mr. Carwile did not sit v~lth the Board during any portion of the Hollymead hear-

adopted by the follo~,dng recorded vote:
