BACKGROUND: Staff has worked with the East Rivanna Volunteer Fire Company (ERVFC) to negotiate the sale of certain easements to Rivanna Village LLC (Rivanna Village) across a portion of the unused East Rivanna firehouse property (TMP 93A1-2), which is jointly owned by the County and the ERVFC. Rivanna Village is seeking construction, grading, drainage, stormwater management, trails and landscaping easements to serve its neighboring development.
The Fire Station property was acquired by proffer when the Glenmore Planned Development was approved in 1990. The six-acre parcel was proffered for a fire station and/or other public facilities. The ERVFC currently utilizes approximately 2.62 acres for the fire station, leaving a balance of 3.38 acres. The proposed easements affect approximately 1.355 acres around the perimeter of the site, but do not affect the existing building envelope at the center of the property, including approximately two acres potentially available for future development. The proposed easements are non-exclusive, and for the limited purposes of grading, drainage, stormwater management, trails and landscaping only. Therefore, the County and ERVFC will retain all other non-conflicting property rights within the easement areas.
Staff is requesting Board authorization of a public hearing to consider the conveyance of these easements to Rivanna Village.
