***Items Requiring Action***
1. Route 37 Alternatives in the Vicinity of the Stonewall Industrial Park
Staff briefed the Committee on the VDOT comments that had been received for the four
submitted alternatives. The Committee discussed a number of issues, including engineering,
surrounding land uses, and potential costs of the varying alignments. The VDOT comment stated
that all of the alternatives would be similar in cost from a construction perspective and all but one
of the alternatives were engineered within design standards, although alternative C-NW appears to
be the VDOT preference from a purely engineering standpoint with C- NWC having the second most
favorable VDOT review based upon staff interpretation. Please find attached to this meeting report,
maps ofthe alternatives that were considered and a copy of the VDOT comments.
MOTION: Mr. Phil Lemieux, seconded by Mr. James Racey
To recommend alternative C-NWC as the preferred alternative due to its appearance to have
Icss impact on surrounding land uses. Further that C- NW be recommended as the second choice of
the committce.

(This was the second meeting of the DIM-OC. The first meeting, held July 24,2006, was
used as an introduction of the new DIM-OC membership and the review responsibilities tasked to
them. )
***Item Requiring Action***
1. The DIM-OC reviewed the critical inputs for the Annual Update of the Development
Impact Model. The inputs are essential in order to maintain an updated DIM. It is also important
to note that the DIM is a planning tool which projects anticipated capital facility costs associated
with land development and rezoning proposals. The DIM-OC recommends approval of the
critical inputs, and for their incorporation into model. Upon approval of the DIM-OC's
recommendation, staff will use the updated model in the consideration offuture rezoning petitions.
The critical input spreadsheet (Attachment #1) and resulting projected capital facilities costs
(Attachment #2) are attached for your information.
Planning Director Eric Lawrence advised the Board that the Development Impact Model
Oversight Committee recommended that the Board adopt the critical inputs and authorize staff to
use the new impact model. Director Lawrence reviewed the changes in the impacts per dwelling
unit from the old model to the new model:
Single Family
Town home
Apartment
Old Model
$23,290
$17,731
$9,064
New Model
$22,098
$15,530
$8,739
Chairman Shickle asked why there was a decrease.
Director Lawrence responded that the student generation ratios decreased. He went on to
say that the original student generation numbers in the initial model were based on estimates, but
staff had worked with the school board to come up with more concrete numbers.
Chairman Shickle asked if this committee would remain intact to deal with some issues the
board members might have with the model.
Director Lawrence responded that the committee worked at the pleasure of the Board.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Dove, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board approved
the updated model and its use.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote:

***Item Not Requiring Action***
1. The Top of Virginia Building Association (TVBA) representatives on the DIM-OC
expressed interest in learning more about the functionality and operation of the model. In particular,
whether the model considers significant capital project expenditures as bonded projects or "pay-as-
you-go", and how the variations might impact the County and development community.
Staff notes that presently the model presumes that all capital projects are funded by "pay-as-
you-go", as recommended by TischlerBise, the ereator ofthe model. Per TischlerBise, by showing
"pay-as-you-go" funding for all growth-related capital improvements, the true costs of capital
improvements are depicted. Additionally, when the DIM is utilized to projeet capital facility
impacts associated with new development, and when a rezoning applicant offers a cash contribution
to offset the projected impacts, said cash payment is paid towards a projeet's costs. In fairness to
a development proposal, ifthe County elects to utilize a bond to fund the remaining cost balance for
the project, less the proffered contributions, then it may not be appropriate to expect a development
proposal to address the debt service costs. Other communities, including Prince William County,
offer a debt service credit when an applicant makes a monetary contribution to offset capital costs.
The DIM functions similarly.
The DIM-OC intends to hold another meeting to discuss this issue raised by the TVBA in
regard to the bonding or "pay-as-you-go" component of the model, unless the Board of Supervisors
directs otherwise.
Please contact staff should you have questions.

Deputy Director Ruddy advised that there was Land Use Policy language the should be acted
upon as well.
Chairman Shickle advised that the use of Rural Areas (RA) in both the Comprehensive Plan
and the Zoning Ordinance caused confusion as one referred to the land use and the other to the
zoning. He asked staff to review the policy to clarifY the meaning of the two so as to alleviate
confusion.
Deputy Director Ruddy suggested removing the letters RA from the policy language andjust
refer to the area as Rural Areas.
Director Lawrence suggested that staff could add Rural Areas "land use" as a means of
clarifying the policy versus the zoning.
Chairman Shickle advised that this clarification should be done prior to the policy language
being adopted.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Van Osten, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board
postponed the land use policy language until its November 8, 2006 meeting.
