RE: Public Hearing: 2008 -2009 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
The 2008 -2009 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is scheduled for a Board of Supervisors
Public Hearing on February 27, 2008. Endorsement of the CIP by the Board would be
appropriate at this time. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the 2008-
2009 at their February 20, 2008 meeting.
The CIP was previously considered at the following meetings:
• Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) - November 12, 2007
The CPPS agreed that the CIP requests were in conformance with the
Comprehensive Policy Plan and forwarded the draft document out of Committee
for Planning Commission discussion.
• Planning Commission - December 5, 2007
The Planning Commission considered the CIP as a discussion item and the
consensus of the Commission was that the projects proposed within the CIP were
in conformance with the Comprehensive Policy Plan.
• Board of Supervisors — January 9, 2008, and January 23, 2008
The Board considered the CIP as a discussion item on two occasions and agreed
to schedule public hearings for the 2008 -2009 CIP. The discussion resulted in the
inclusion of an additional project which establishes a capital expenditure fund for
the purpose of purchasing additional and replacement capital fire and rescue
vehicles and equipment.
• Planning Commission Public Hearing — February 20, 2008
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the CIP and found it in
__ conformance with the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan.

Please find attached with this agenda item: a draft copy of the proposed 2008 -2009 CIP,
which includes three maps illustrating the known locations of the CIP requests. If
adopted by the Board of Supervisors, the CIP and included maps, will ultimately become
a component of the Comprehensive Policy Plan, satisfying the review requirement of
Section 15.2 -2232 of the Code of Virginia, which states that no public facility shall be
constructed unless said facility is a "feature shown" within a jurisdiction's
comprehensive plan.
Please contact the Planning Department should you have any questions regarding this

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED
2008 -2009 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
• The proposed CIP consists of 56 capital projects, a slight increase over the 54
projects included in the previous CIP.
• Of the 56 capital projects proposed, only five are new compared with
seventeen in last year's CIP. Parks and Recreation account for two,
Winchester Regional Airport, County Administration/Fire and Rescue, and the
Transportation Committee each have one new project. Last year, the
Transportation Committee accounted for the majority of new requests as it
was the first year they had provided capital projects for the CIP.
• 'The following is a listing of the new project requests:
• Five (5) new projects:
o Parks and Recreation, Baseball field lighting at Sherando and
Clearbrook Parks.
o Parks and Recreation, Bike Trail Phase II in the Sherando Park area.
o Transportation, Interstate 81 Exit 307 Relocation.
o Winchester Regional Airport, North side taxi way connector.
o County Administration/Fire and Rescue, Capital Equipment Fund.
• Public Schools, Parks &Recreation, County Administration, and Winchester
Regional Airport have modified the details of a variety of their requests based
upon updated thinking and changing conditions. Of particular note are the
Public Schools modifications to the addition and renovation of Apple Pie
Ridge and Bass Hoover Elementary Schools; this, in conjunction with the
recently programmed 12'h Elementary School, will enable the Public Schools
to move to an all day Kindergarten program. Public Schools have also
modified their CIP to reflect renovations to their administrative offices at their
current Amherst Street location. Fire and Rescue, through County
Administration and with the endorsement of the Finance Committee,
established a capital equipment fund for the ongoing need to ensure that the
significant capital expenditures associated with their equipment, vehicles and
trucks, is represented in the CIP and budgetary information.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
FREDERICK COUNTY
2008 -2009
INTRODUCTION
Section 15.2 -2239 of the Code of Virginia assigns the responsibility for preparation of
plans for capital outlays to the local Planning Commissions. The Capital Improvements
Plan (CIP) consists of a schedule for major capital expenditures for the county for the
ensuing five years.
The CIP is updated annually. Projects are removed from the plans as they aze completed
or as priorities change. The plan is intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in
preparation of the county budget. In addition to determining priorities for capital
expenditures, the county must also ensure that projects contained within the CIP conform
to the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Specifically, the projects are reviewed with
considerations regarding health, safety, and the general welfare of the public. When the
CIP is adopted, it becomes a component of the Comprehensive Policy Plan.
The CIP is strictly advisory; it is intended for use as a capital facilities planning
document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once adopted, project priorities may
change throughout the yeaz based on changing circumstances. It is also possible that
particular projects may not be funded during the year that is indicated in the CIP. The
status of any project becomes increasingly uncertain the further in the future it is
projected.
Transportation projects are included in the CIP for a second year. The 2007 -2008 CIP
included transportation projects for the first time. The reason for this change was that
state code now allows for transportation projects to appear in the CIP. The addition of
transportation projects to the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be
independently undertaking these projects. Funding projects will continue to come from a
combination of state and federal funds, developer contributions, and revenue sharing.
PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS
Frederick County Public Schools
In an effort to maintain educational facilities that will handle the growing student
population, the construction of two new elementary schools is recommended within the
UDA (Urban Development Area). The 12t" Elementary School has been removed from
the CIP as it has recently been programmed. Anew high school and a new middle school
have also been requested in anticipation of the future demand of a growing student
population. A number of school renovations and relocations are proposed, several of
which are aimed at accommodating an all day Kindergarten program. The Public Schools
top priority remains a new transportation facility.
One of the most notable changes from last years CIP is a request to renovate and expand
the current administration building on Amherst Street rather than relocating and
renovating the current Frederick County Middle School.
Parks &Recreation
The majority of the recommended projects are planned for the county's two regional
parks (Sherando & Cleazbrook). Ten projects are planned for Sherando Park: upgrade of
baseball lighting, upgrade pool amenities, maintenance compound and office, skateboard
park, parking and multi- purpose fields with trail development, a softball complex,
renovations to the existing baseball complex, a soccer complex, picnic azea with a shelter,
and an access road with parking and trails. There are currently five projects planned for
the Clearbrook Park which include, upgrade of baseball lighting, upgrading pool
amenities, a new open play area, atennis /basketball complex, and shelter with an area for
stage seating. The upgrade of pool amenities at the swimming pools at both parks will
include the addition of water slides and a spray ground.
The indoor aquatic facility is being proposed as a top priority of the Parks and Recreation
Department for a third year in a row. Phase II of the Bike Trail project in the Sherando
area has been added to the plan.
The Pazks and Recreation Department has proposed to acquire land in both the eastern
and western portions of the county for the development of future regional park system.
Both land acquisitions call for 150 -200 acres of land to accommodate the recreational
needs of the growing population.
County Administration
Modifications to two of the County's refuse convenience sites have been requested. The
first request is that the current Gainesboro facility be moved because of health hazards
the current site incurs. The other request is for the expansion/relocation of the Gore
Refuse Site to allow for a trash compactor, which will reduce operational costs, by
compacting trash before it reaches the landfill.
2
Fire &Rescue has requested two relocations of current fire stations in order to operate
more efficiently. The top project for the County Administration is the creation of Fire &
Rescue Station #22, with the ability to provide an annex facility for other county related
offices. Anew project request for the benefit of Fire and Rescue is the capital
expenditure fund for the purpose of purchasing additional and replacement capital
equipment fire and rescue vehicles and equipment. V�ith the endorsement of the Finance
Committee it was determined that the inclusion of such a project would be beneficial in
ensuring that this significant capital expense is identified in the County's capital planning
and budget process.
Transportation Committee
This is the second year the Transportation Committee is providing project requests for the
CIP. Virginia State Code allows for transportation projects to be included within a
locality's CIP. Funding for transportation project requests will likely come from
developers and revenue sharing. Implementation of transportation projects does not take
away funding for generalized road improvements.
The Transportation Committee has requested funding for twelve projects. The twelve
requests include projects that entail widening of major roads; key extensions of roads that
help provide better networks, and the addition of turn lanes at current unsafe
intersections. The relocation of Interstate 81, Exit 307 is the only addition to this years
CIP
Winchester Regional Airport
Several of the Airport requests were carried forward from last year. There are two
requests to acquire additional parcels along Bufflick Road which are required to meet
noise abatement requirements. Also carried over, is the request to renovate the terminal
building, the request to construct a new airfield maintenance building, and a request to
upgrade the airfield lighting system to enhance safety for aircraft use of the facility. Two
additional requests address the rehabilitation of Runway 14/42 and a new north side Taxi
way Connector.
Funding for airport projects is derived through a complex formula where the federal and
state governments contribute a majority of the funding, with Frederick County and the
other jurisdictions providing the remaining funding.
Handley Regional Library
The Handley Regional Library has recommended four projects, consistent with their
2008 -2009 request. The library's top priority is a parking lot expansion as well as
improvements to sidewalk access at the Bowman Library. The parking lot expansion
would accommodate 121 more parking than what is currently available. The library
wishes to extend the sidewalks to serve residents traveling from the east to Lakeside
Drive.
3
The three remaining projects request that funding be provided for new library branches
throughout the county which include the areas of Gainesboro, Senseny /Greenwood Road,
and Route 522 South, with the latter two being located within the UDA (Urban
Development Area).
