MEMORANDUM FAX: 540/678-0682
To:
Frederick County Board of Supervisors
From:
Amy M. Lob!, Planner IT -kJ.
Subject: Public Hearing: 2001- 2002 Secondary Road Improvement Plan
Date: October 17, 2000
As the Board is aware, the Frederick County Secondary Road Improvement Plan is updated on an
annual basis. This process provides an opportunity for citizens to participate in three public meetings
held throughout the Fall. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors adopts a final plan which is forwarded
to the VDOT District Office in Staunton for funding allocations and incorporation into the Six. Year
Plan.
The Transportation Committee reviewed the annual update of the Secondary Road Improvement Plan
at their September meeting and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Planning
Commission. As part of that approval, two new projects were included in the unscheduled lists of
both the Major Road Improvements and Hardsurface Road Improvements portions of the Plan.
Under the major road improvements, the two new projects were requested by Renny Manuel,
Director of the Wmchester Regional Airport Authority. Improvements to Victory Road (Rt. 728),
as well as the need to relocate a portion of Airport Road (Rt. 645), prompted this request. In
contrast to the 2000 . 200 1 plan, the major road improvement projects have been further categorized
into a funded list and an unscheduled list. These two projects were placed at the bottom of the
unscheduled list (for more information, please refer to the attached letter from Renny Manuel). WIth
regard to new hardsurface road improvement projects, Ebenezer Church Road (Rt. 705) and Hollow
Road (Rt. 707) qualified for inclusion in this year's plan. These roadways are ranked number 2 and
4, respectively, on the unscheduled list.
The Committee made two other recommendations with regard to the Secondary Road Improvement
Plan. First, the Committee suggested that the County consider the use of Revenue Sharing Funds
whenever possible. Second, the Committee suggested that the Board of Supervisors consider
implementing an objective rating system for unscheduled Major Road Improvement projects. This
recommendation was made because of the large number of projects on the list and the inability to
objectively determine where a new project should be placed on the list. Currently, projects are
accepted in the order that they are received by the County.

2001-2002 Secondary Road Plan for Frederick County
October 17, 2000
-.
At the Planning Commission's meeting of October 4, 2000, the staff provided additional new
information under the Major Road Improvement Projects funded list for Item #2, the Aylor Road (Rt.
647) project. This project is scheduled to begin at Fairfax Pike (Rt. 277) and "extend to Tasker Road
(Rt. 642), however, the 1-81 Improvement Study has indicated that there is a conflict between Aylor
Road and its intersection with Fairfax Pike and the 1-81 northbound on-ramp. In an effort to alleviate
these conflicts, VDOT's plans call for the relocation of Aylor Road at its intersection with Fairfax to
occur further to the east. If the VDOT plans are accepted, the funding associated with the
engineering design and right-of-way acquisition, as well as construction costs, would have to come
from the Secondary Road Plan. The costs associated with the right-of-way acquisition alone would
be exorbitant due to the need to acquire commercial properties. If Secondary Road funds were to
be used, it could hinder the completion of the Aylor Road project. In light of this information, the
staff recommended modifying the description of the Aylor Road project withiri the plan to read,
''From near the vicinity of Harmon Place '(Rt. 1025) extending north onto Tasker Road." By placing
the starting point in the general vicinity of Harmon Place, it would alleviate the cost borne by the
Secondary Road Plan and the cost for acquiring the commercial properties would fall to the 1-81
improvements, rather than the County's Secondary Road Plan, which would facilitate the completion
of the Aylor Road project.
The Planning Commission was in favor of the amended description for Aylor Road under the Major
Road Improvement Projects. In addition, the Commission endorsed both of the Transportation
Committee's recommendations that the County consider the use ofRevenue Sharing Funds whenever
possible and that the Board consider implementing an objective rating system for unscheduled major
road improvement projects.
There was one citizen comment from a resident on KJines Mill Road who requested that this road
remain the number one priority on the Hard Surface Road Improvement Projects because ofits poor
condition. In addition, staff has received one telephone call echoing this request.
Attached with this memorandum are the draft 2001 - 2002 Secondary Road Improvement Plan, a
summary of the new projects, a summary of projects funded under the 2000 - 2001 plan, maps
depicting the location of new projects for major road improvements and hardsurface requests, and
support information from the Winchester Regional Airport. Staff would ask that the Board of
Supervisors consider this information for final resolution.

HARDSURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
2001/2002
Hardsurface road improvement projects provide impervious resurfacing and reconstruction of non-hard surfaced
secondary roads. Hardsurface improvement projects are prioritized by an objective rating system which
considers average daily traffic volumes; occupied structures; physical road conditions including geometries,
drainage, and accident reports; school bus routing; and the time that project requests have been on the
Secondary Road Improvement Plan.

Date:
7/26/00
Re:" Secondary Road Plan - SR 645 & SR 728
I would like to request the County of Frederick consider placing Airport Road (Rt. 645) from Aviation Drive (Rt. 900)
to Victory Road (Rt. 728); as well as Victory Road fro Airport Road to Millwood Pike (US Rt. 50/17) in the Secondary
~oad Plan.
Due to the continuing expansion of the Winchester Regional Airport and the ongoing industrial development around
the Airport, truck traffic has increased dramatically. In addition, there has been an increase in vehicular traffic
utilizing this section in order to avoid the Interstate 81 and Route 50 interchange.
Attached is a brief summary describing the need for this road to be added to the Secondary Road Plan. Also
included is the Runway 32 Protection Zone Plan and Profile detailing the section of road that penetrates into the
Part 77 Surfaces.
Should you require additional information or have questions, please contact my office.
Thank you for your continued assistance and support.

CEPT. OF PL~,>i:-r:GrJ.:.ELOP~iENT
The Winchester Regional Airport Authority is seeking ways to improve road and aviation
modes of transportation by combining the efforts and plans of all responsible agencies to
include Local, State and Federal agencies. This would allow the efficient management of the J
taxpayers' funds for which we are fiscally responsible.
Two factors weigh heavily on the need to improve the eastern portion of Airport Road from
Kohl's Distribution Center to the Victory Road intersection.
Factor one involves vehicle and truck traffic on Airport Road from Routes 522 and 50, which
has steadily increased over the last twelve months. This is the result of continuing business
and industrial development around the Airport and the use of Airport Road as a detour for
traffic avoiding the Route SO/Interstate 81 intersection. Airport Road from Kohl's distribution
center running east to Victory Road is a narrow rural road with no designated turning lanes for
the businesses that are continuing to build in that area. Ruts visible at the intersection of
Airport Road and Victory Road, suggest a need for improvement to accommodate the
increasing truck traffic. Eventually Airport Road will need improvements and repairs to the
existing road and intersection. .
The second factor involves the Airport. In 1993, the Airport Authority adopted a twenty-year
Master Plan developed to meet the FAA's, safety and design standards to provide this region
a safe and efficient air transportation facility. To date, the Federal Aviation Administration, the
Virginia Department of Aviation, and the five surrounding jurisdictions have invested more
than $14 million into this facility to make these vital improvements. The last major project
needed to meet these requirements is to move a section of Airport Road from the AES
Company to the Victory Road intersection.
Passing under the Runway Protection Zone, surveys have identified part of SR645 as an
obstruction to the approach surface for Runway 32 based on the FAA standard 15-foot
clearance for a road. The FAA requires this zone to ensure a safe and clear approach
surface for landing aircraft. Enclosed is a layout of the Airport with detail of this area to help
you have a better understanding of the need to relocate this section of road.
The Airport Authority has completed the purchase of more than $1.2 million dollars of land to
move forward with the road relocation effort. To provide VDOT with a 100-foot easement for
this project, the Authority, FAA, VDOA and local jurisdictions, used funds to acquire the
additional land needed. Because only a portion of the road is considered an obstruction into
the Part 77 surfaces, only a fraction of the estimated cost would be eligible for funding
through the FAA and VDOA.
Available funding sources accessible by the Airport are limited therefore the Authority is
seeking financial assistance from other sources to share in the funding of this major
transportation project. Completion of this project enhances the Airport, improves intra-modal
transportation needs and meets the requirements established by the FAA for a safe and
efficient air transportation facility that is part of the National Airport System.
