TRANSPORTATION CommITTEE RECOPII4ENDATION RE: ROUTE 642
Mr. Watkins, Director of Planning and Development, present-
ed the Transportation Committee's recommendation on Route 642.
Mr. Chuck Maddox, of G. W. Clifford and Associates,
addressed the Board and presented slides of the two routes that
have been proposed for improving Route 642. He noted that the
Transportation Committee, along with the Planning Commission,
have recommended the Southern option.
Mr. Crosen asked what happened to the Green Route that the
Board had originally looked at.
Mr. Stiles explained that due to some problems this was no
longer being considered.
Mr. Smith stated that his understanding was that the
Board's main priority is to improve Route 642 and in order to
achieve this he felt the Red Route is the one that should be
used.
Mr. Bushman, Resident Engineer with the Virginia Department
of Transportation, appeared before the Board and explained what
was scheduled for upgrading Route 522 South and when the section
closest to Route 642 would be done.
Mr. Rinker asked about the plan he had suggested wherein
Route 642 would cross Route 81 to make an interchange. He
explained that he knew this would be a lot more expensive and
that it would have to be in the future, but felt this would
really be the answer to a lot of the traffic problems at the
intersection of Route 277 and Route 81. He further noted that
as the blue line is currently drawn, this interchange is not
shown.
Mr. Stiles explained that this design should be shown for
the future as being Virginia Department of Transportation funded
51
and it is the only thing that would alleviate the traffic
problem in this area.
Mr. Rinker requested that the Transportation Committee look
at this plan for an interchange at this location.
Mr. John Sargent, property owner where section of red line
is scheduled to cross, appeared before the Board to ask exactly
where the road would cross his property.
An area resident appeared before the Board and asked about
Route 522 and where the lanes are planned to become dual.
Mr. Bushman explained that the Eastbound lane would be what
is presently Route 522.
Mr. John Sargent, III, area resident, explained that
several proposals had been made in order that a new road would
not be necessary including making alterations to the present
Route 642, but the Board had chosen to ignore this and he was
very disturbed that the County wanted to cross their land in
order to construct this road.
Upon motion made by Dudley H. Rinker, seconded by W.
Harrington Smith, Jr. and passed unanimously, to table this
recommendation for two weeks and that all property owners be
contacted.
Mr. Crosen noted that the need for the upgrading of this
road was caused by the developers and not the farmer and he
could not vote in favor of crossing Mr. Sargent's property based
on this fact.
Mr. Stiles stated that the County did not upgrade roads as
this is the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Trans-
portation and this is the case for Route 642.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT - APPROVED
Upon motion made by W. Harrington Smith, Jr., seconded by
Dudley H. Rinker and passed unanimously, the following agreement

THIS AGREEMENT, entered into this 12th day of September,

developing some land in the vicinity of the intersection of
State Route 647, East of Stephens City, Virginia, in the area
52
known as Section III of Albin Village Subdivision as shown on
Plat attached hereto;
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the development of this

tion of which will be beneficial to all of the parties involved;
and
WHEREAS, the County and others desire that the roads within
the subdivision be taken into and be made a part of the Common-
wealth's Secondary Highway System and be maintained by the
Commonwealth; and
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth is authorized by statute to make
certain additions to the Secondary System of Highways and
empowered to establish reasonable standards and requirements for
such additions; and
WHEREAS, one such reasonable standard for the acceptance of
new subdivisions into the Secondary System of Highways is that
there shall be a continuous drainage easement from such roads to
natural watercourses or an executed agreement with the appropri-
ate governing body, whereby the local governing body assumes the
responsibility for the future maintenance and operation of an
alternate method determined by the Commonwealth as satisfactory
for handling this storm drainage; and
WHEREAS, both the County and the Commonwealth acknowledge
that this standard is desirable to assure safe thoroughfares for
the traveling public, with maximum security to neighboring
landowners; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to carry out and accom-
plish certain work, and to determine and agree upon the manner
of doing said work;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual

areas within Section III of Albin Village Subdivi-
sion.
2. Maintain or cause to be maintained at no cost to
the Commonwealth, the on site storm water detention
facility noted in one (1) above so as to permit it
to function as designed and in such a manner as not
to result in nuisances, health or safety hazards,
or damage by reason of increased drainage to
property in this area to be affected.
3. Secure all rights -of -way or right -of -way easements
necessary to cover the construction and maintenance
of the detention facility noted in one (1) above,
and to have its construction completed prior to the
request for the addition of the streets in Section
III of the Albin Village Subdivision into the
Secondary System of Highways.
4. Indemnify and hold harmless the Commonwealth from
any and all claims for taking and /or damaging under
Article I, Section 11, of the Revised Constitution
53
of Virginia of property of any and all landowners
who might be adversely affected by drainage which
exits the boundaries of Section III, Albin Village
Subdivision.
5. Indemnify and hold harmless the Department from any
and all costs or expenses incurred as a result of
the denial, settlement and /or litigation of such
claims for taking and /or damages from drainage from
Section III, Albin Village Subdivision.
6. Reimburse the Department for repairs to roadways
damages as a result of the lack of an adequate
design and /or proper maintenance to the on site
stormwater detention facility for Section III,
Albin Village Subdivision.
7. The County agrees to prohibit any future
development in the watershed upstream of this
proposed detention facility prior to provisions, as
are mutually agreed upon by the County and the
Commonwealth, being made to adequately provide for
the anticipated increased runoff caused by such
future developments.
B. The Commonwealth Shall:
1. Add to the State Secondary Highway System and
maintain the roads in Section III of the Albin
Village Subdivision that, upon inspection, are
found to be designed, constructed and maintained in
accordance with the standards and procedures of the

agreement as of the day and year first written above.

Harrington Smith, Jr. was absent. Also present were Sheriff
Charles L. Sturdivant; Captain Barrington and Lieutenant Clyde
VanMeter of the Sheriff's Department; Lawrence R. Ambrogi,
Commonwealth's Attorney and Tina Kauten, Coordinator of the
Victim Witness Program. The Committee submits the following:
Discussion of Victim Wi tness Program - No Action Taken
The Committee reviewed and discussed with Tina Kauten,
Victim Witness Coordinator, the attached information on the
City's Victim Witness Program. It was the opinion of the
Committee that such a program is needed and should be implement-
ed as soon as possible. In that the program will be admini-
stered from the Commonwealth's Attorney's office, Mr. Ambrogi
was instructed to provide to the Committee at its next meeting a
proposed budget to include number of positions, office space and
supplies.
No action was taken by the Board.
Discussion of the Uniform Traffic Code - No Action Taken
The Committee reviewed a verbal request from Supervisor
Rhodes to adopt a uniform traffic code for the County. The
59
purpose of the code adoption would be to enable the County to
receive the revenue from fines assessed violators. Currently,
said fines are going into the State Treasury.
It was further discussed that if the traffic ordinance was
adopted, great care should be exercised as to the enforcement of
local radar surveillance. The Committee recommends that the
County Attorney draft said ordinance for review by the Code and
Ordinance Committee.
No action was taken by the Board.
Discussion of Lease at Old Landfill Site - Approved

Discussion of Radio Communication and Reception Problems in
the Sheriff's Department - No Action Taken
Supervisor Rhodes directed that the Committee look into
problems experienced by the Sheriff's Department on radio
interference. The Sheriff indicated that local radio transmis-
sions are being interrupted, interference (skip) from other
jurisdictions. The Department is also experiencing "dead spots"
in certain areas of the County necessitating Sheriff's Depart-
ment units having to relocate in order to transmit. The Commit-
tee directed the County Administrator to correspond with
Motorola, Inc. indicating the County's extreme displeasure with
the company and directing them to correct said deficiencies at
no cost to the County.
No action was taken by the Board.
Discussion of Central Disr)atch - No Action Taken
The attached information provided by the City Police Chief
and the Sheriff was discussed. It was conveyed to the Sheriff
that every effort would be made by the County to compensate
newly hired dispatchers who had previous experience.
It appears that the issue of Central Dispatch may be a dead
issue due to the fact that the Compensation Board would not fund
Sheriff's Department dispatchers assigned to a central
M
communications agency. The County Administrator will research
the possibility of grant funding through F.E.M.A. to relocate
Central Dispatch to the basement of the Judicial Center.
No action was taken by the Board.
