DATE: February 19, 2009
RE: Public Hearing: 2009 -2010 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
The 2009 -2010 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is scheduled for a Board of Supervisors
Public Hearing on February 25, 2009. Endorsement of the CIP by the Board would be
appropriate at this time. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
2009 -2010 CIP at their February 18, 2009 meeting.
The CIP was previously considered at the following meetings:
• Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) - November 10, 2008
The CPPC agreed that the CIP requests were in conformance with the
Comprehensive Policy Plan and forwarded the draft document out of the
Executive Committee for Planning Commission discussion.
• Planning Commission - December 3, 2008
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 28, 2009
The Board considered the CIP as a discussion item and directed Staff to schedule
public hearings for the 2009 -2010 CIP. The discussion was thorough and
reflective of the current economic environment. The discussion resulted in the
inclusion of an additional project which establishes a capital expenditure fund for

the purpose of addressing general government capital expenditures that may fall
below the established $100,000 departmental threshold. This was previously
endorsed by the Board through the Finance Committee.
In addition, the Board endorsed a significant modification to a project submitted
by the Winchester Regional Airport, the Taxiway relocation project, in an effort
to advance this project and to take advantage of potential Federal funding.
In light of a similar potential opportunity and some discussion during the
Board meeting, Staff has included a proposed modification to the Route 37
project within the Transportation Section of the CIP. This Transportation
request now includes the Route 37 project in its entirety, engineering through
construction, and is consistent with current project description and values being
used by VDOT.
• Planning Commission Public Hearing — February 18, 2009
There were no public comments. The Planning Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the 2009 -2010 CIP, including the above changes, 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 2009 -2010 CIP,
which includes three maps illustrating the known locations of the CIP requests and a
summary of all of the project requests. If adopted, 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.
The CIP is presented as a public hearing. Endorsement of the CIP by the Board
would be appropriate at this time.
Please contact the Planning Department should you have any questions regarding this
information.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
FREDERICK COUNTY
2009 -2010
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 are 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 year 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 third 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 RECONIlVIENDATIONS
Frederick County Public Schools
The Public Schools top piiority remains a new transportation facility. This project
involves the site acquisition, approximately 50 acres, and development of a new
transportation facility for the public school system. The site will house administration,
driver training areas, driver and staff meeting areas, mechanical service and repair bays,
inspection bay, wash bay, and fueling bays.
In an effort to maintain educational facilities that will handle the growing student
the
population, the construction of two new elementary schools
UDA (Urban Development Area). A new 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 Elementary School renovations
have been updated to reflect the phased construction of these improvements projects.
This year's CIP continues to include a request to renovate and expand the current
administration building on Amherst Street. In recognition-of the current construction of
the first phase of this expansion, this request has been modified to include the 2nd and 3rd
Phases of this project.
Parks & Recreation
The indoor aquatic facility continues to be proposed as the top priority of the Parks and
Recreation Department for the fourth year in a row. Phase II of the Bike Trail project in
the Sherando area is included the plan. The Parks 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.
The majority of the recommended projects are planned for the county's two regional
parks ( Sherando & Clearbrook). Nine projects are planned for Sherando Park: upgrade of
baseball lighting, upgrade pool amenities, a soccer complex, maintenance compound and
office, skateboard park, parking and multi- purpose fields with trail development, a
softball complex, picnic area with a shelter, and an access road with parking and trails.
The soccer complex has increased in priority in recognition of a partnership opportunity
with a co- sponsored organization, BRYSA. There are currently five projects planned for
the Clearbrook Park which include, upgrade of baseball lighting, upgrading pool.
amenities, a new open play area, a tennis/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.
2
Handley Regional Library
The Handley Regional Library continues to recommend 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.
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).
Transportation Committee
This is, the third 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, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and the addition of
turn lanes at current unsafe intersections. The relocation of the Senseny Road bicycle
and pedestrian improvements and the Eastern Road Plan are the only addition to this
year's CIP
Winchester Regional Airport
The Airport component of the CIP has been modified to be more consistent with the
capital planning requirements of the Virginia Department of Aviation. While more
projects are included in this CIP than in previous years, several requests represent
different phases of construction of these capital improvements.
Several of the Airport requests were carried forward from previous years including the
request to renovate the terminal building, the request to construct a new airfield
maintenance building, a request to upgrade the airfield lighting system to enhance safety
for aircraft use of the facility, and two additional requests which were new last year
which address the rehabilitation of Runway 14/42 and a new north side Taxi way
Connector. In addition to the two previous requests to acquire additional parcels along
Bufflick Road this year's CIP includes the acquisition of additional parcels along
Bufflick Road which are required to meet noise abatement requirements and will
facilitate the proposed expansion of the airport facility.
3
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.
County Administration iincluding Fire and Rescue)
The structure of the County Administration section of the CIP has been modified to better
reflect the enhancements to the Fire and Rescue component of the CIP which were
included last year. This year's CIP also reflects the input provided by the County's
Volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies. This is in an effort to further establish the
connection between the CIP and the acceptance of proffered contributions made to
mitigate the impacts of development projects. The capital requests of the individual Fire
and Rescue Companies have been added as a component of this year's CIP.
Also added to enhance the connection between the CIP and proffered contributions made
to mitigate the impacts of development projects is an item that addresses general
government capital expenditures that may fall below the established $100,000
departmental threshold. This is similar to the approach previously taken for Fire and
Rescue Capital Equipment.
Modifications to two of the County's refuse convenience sites continue to be a Public
Works priority. The first request is that the current Gainesboro facility be moved. A
fenced, accessible two -acre site will be constructed along North Frederick Pike in close
proximity to the existing site on Old Gainesboro Road. This project will require several
months to complete and include fencing, earthwork; a retaining wall, electric, lighting,
paving and landscaping. 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. resulted in the inclusion of an additional
project which establishes a capital expenditure fund for
Fire & Rescue has requested the relocation of two current fire stations in order to operate
more efficiently. The top project for the County Administration's Fire and Rescue
component is the creation of Fire & Rescue Station #22 in the vicinity of Route 277, with
the ability to provide an annex facility for other county related offices. The collaboration
of this project with other community users and a land use planning effort was a key
element of the Route 277 Land Use Plan. Fire and Rescue has added a project which
provides for the capital apparatus needs of this facility.
Two new projects for Fire and Rescue are the creation of Station #23, a new facility
located in the vicinity of Crosspointe and a Fire & Rescue Regional Training Center.
Such a Regional Public Safety Training Center potentially consisting of an administrative
building, multi -story bum building, multi -story training tower, vehicle driving range,
shooting range, and numerous other training props. This project will incorporate
emergency medical services, fire, hazardous materials, rescue, law enforcement,
industrial, and educational institutions located within the region.

design work will be completed during the current fiscal year. A fenced, accessible two -
acre site will be constructed along North Frederick Pike in close proximity to the existing
site on Old Gainesboro Road. This project will require several months to complete and
include fencing, earthwork, a retaining wall, electric, lighting, paving and landscaping.
Capital Cost: $462,500
Justification: Approximately 4,000 residents are served by the Gainesboro facility. The
refuse site serves a wide geographic area from Gainesboro westward to the Cross
Junction, Whitacre and Reynolds Store communities.
Construction Schedule: Start in FY 09 -10
PRIORITY 2
Gore Refuse Site Relocation/Expansion
Description: The project will expand refuse collection capacity at Gore by installing a
surplus trash compactor. With the relocation of the Gainesboro site and purchase of new
equipment, there will be an available compactor. Installation of a compactor at Gore will
38
drive down collection costs at the site where trash is now collected in 10 8 -yard boxes. In
order to accomplish this, and account for improved traffic flow and the construction of
necessary concrete walls, the site will be expanded onto an adjoining parcel already
owned by the county.
Capital Cost: $435,500
Justification: This project would also provide much - needed capacity during heavy flow
times such as weekends and holidays. All 10 containers now on site fill to capacity during
Saturday afternoons and during the Sunday shift when up to 189 vehicles visit the
facility. A 40 -yard roll -off is placed at the site during the Christmas holidays to provide
for increased trash generation. An upgraded site would meet the future solid waste
demands of a growing community.
Construction Schedule: Start in FY 10 -11

Fire & Rescue Project Priority List
PRIORITY 1
Fire & Rescue Station 422 / Annex Facilities (Route 277)
Description: Construct a two bay Fire and Rescue Station with satellite Sheriff s office
and County office space for treasure, commissioner of the revenue, and BOS office with
meeting room. The station will be located in the area of Fairfax Pike east of White Oak
Road to provide service for the heavy growth area east of Stephens City. An approximate
three -acre site will be needed to accommodate this facility. The fire station will be
approximately a 10,000 sq ft facility to house an engine and ambulance.
This facility is specifically identified in the Route 277 Triangle and Urban Center Land
Use Plan approved in 2008.
Capital Cost: $3,100,000
Justification: The development of satellite offices along major transportation networks
and in areas of dense population will provide ease of access for citizens and will improve
services to the county. The County continues to experience .a significant rate of growth;
therefore, it is important to provide services within these areas instead of requiring
citizens to confront congestion, limited parking, and accessibility in the City of
Winchester. This facility would facilitate the implement the Route 277 Triangle and
Urban Center Land Use Plan approved in 2008.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 09 -10
PRIORITY 2
Fire & Rescue Station #22 / Apparatus (Route 277)
Description: Purchase one (1) custom pumper equipped and one (1) custom Type I
Advanced Life Support (A.L.S.) capable ambulance equipped to be assigned to Fire and
Rescue Station 22.
Capital Cost: $800,000
39
Justification: This fire and rescue apparatus will be assigned to Fire and Rescue Station
22 located on Fairfax Pike East in the Stephens City area of Frederick County. The
pumper will be built to N.F.P.A. 1901 specifications and equipped with all of the required
and necessary equipment to function as a Class A Pumper. The ambulance will be built
to the Federal KKK- A -1822E specifications and equipped with all of the required and
necessary equipment to function as an Advanced Life Support ambulance. This fire and
rescue apparatus is needed due to the fact that the Fire and Rescue Department currently
owns one (1) pumper and one (1) ladder truck that are twenty (20) plus years of age and
already assigned to other functions. The currently owned fire and rescue apparatus
would not endure the demands placed on it while being assigned to a high call volume
station.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 09 -10
PRIORITY 3
Round Hill Fire and Rescue Station ( #15) Relocation
Description: This project includes the relocation and building of a 22,000 square foot
facility to accommodate ten or more pieces of emergency equipment and to house living
and sleeping areas for staff. A community center of approximately 10,000 square feet,
with a capacity of 400 people, is also planned; it would be used for fandraising events
and other activities. The project would need a parcel of three to five acres.
Capital Cost: $4,608,160
Justification: The existing facility serving the Round Hill area is 50+ years old and not
large enough to accommodate the equipment needed to serve the commercial growth in
the Round Hill community. This community includes approximately 9,000 households,
two schools, and the Winchester Medical Center.
Construction Schedule: To be determined
PRIORITY 4
Clearbrook Fire Station ( #13) Relocation
Description: At the present time the Clear Brook Vol. Fire & Rescue has outgrown the
existing building with the equipment on hand, the call volume, the staffing of 24 hour
personnel and the traffic at the existing location. We are proposing a new facility to be
located on Rt. 11 either North or South of Brucetown Road. The building is to be six (6)
drive through bays, administration, eating and sleeping facilities along with a dining hall.
The estimated size of the structure is to be approximately 28,000 square feet. This
upgrade of the facility will help to provide the needed space for Fire and EMS services
for the community of Clear Brook.
Capital Cost: $3,240,000
Justification: This project calls for Fire Station #13 to be relocated to an area that has a
much safer exit/entrance way. This project will also accommodate the growth in
Northeastern Frederick County. The Rt. 11 site also allows for possible growth, if
required.
Construction Schedule: To be determined

PRIORITY 5
Fire &. Rescue Station #23 / New Facility (Crosspointe)
Description: This project consists of a 10,000 square foot fire station to accommodate 4
pieces of emergency equipment, and to house living and sleeping areas for staff. This
project could also include satellite offices for the Frederick County Sheriff's Office,
Treasurers Office, and Commissioner of Revenue as well as a meeting room for County
Supervisor meetings with their constituents with an additional 2000 square feet of
building area. A two and 1 /2 acre parcel should be sufficient for building, parking and
amenities for approximately 20 to 30 persons. The project is located at Crosspointe
Center at the end of current Rt.37 South, an area of proposed nigh density residential
development, and commercial development.
Capital Cost: $3,000,000
Justification: The proposed location at the South end of Route 37 provides for quick and
easy access to Interstate 81 North and South at the 310 Exit. Access and response on Rt.
37 will be greatly enhanced from I81 to Route 50 West in the Northbound Lane.
Currently Stephens City and Round Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company's serve the
area. This location also provides easy access to Rt.I 1 and the Kemstown area along with
access to Middle Road and Subdivisions of Brookneil, Stonebrook, and Jackson Woods.
These subdivisions have large single family homes in an area of Frederick County
outside of the UDA. Water supplies are scarce in these areas and a rapid response from
this proposed facility will likely reduce property damage from fire and response times for
Medical Emergencies. Major collector roads such as Tasker Road and Warrior Drive
along with the proposed extension of Rt. 37 and new roadways in the development will
provide quick access to additional homes and businesses in areas including Front Royal
Pike, Papermill Road. These roadway construction efforts will provide for an increased
level of quality emergency service to the citizens in this entire area.
Construction Schedule: To be determined.
PRIORITY 6
Fire & Rescue Regional Training Center
Description: Construct a Regional Public Safety Training Center potentially consisting
of an administrative building, multi -story burn building, multi -story training tower,
vehicle driving range, shooting range, and numerous other training props. This project
will incorporate emergency medical services, fire, hazardous materials, rescue, law
enforcement, industrial, and educational institutions located in Clarke County, Frederick
County, Shenandoah County, Warren County, Winchester City, State Agencies, Federal
Agencies, and potentially jurisdiction within the State of West Virginia.
Capital Cost: $29,075,000
Justification: This project will serve the rapidly growing Northern Shenandoah Valley.
One of the main requirements for this project is the aging facilities currently being
utilized by Winchester and Frederick County as well as Shenandoah County and the lack
of facilities in the other jurisdictions. The need for modern facilities and props to train
41
emergency responders and industrial personnel for response to incidents is becoming
more apparent everyday with the increased diversified population, increased number and
type of residential complexes, increased number and type of commercial complexes,
increased industrial complexes, increased training requirements of emergency services
personnel, and mandated requirements for governments throughout the region.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 10 -11
PRIORITY 7

for the benefit of Fire and Rescue Services. It is the intention of this capital expenditure
fund to be for the purpose of purchasing additional and replacement capital equipment
fire and rescue vehicles and equipment. 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. This project is primarily for the
benefit of the individual Volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies. Please see below for the
individual Fire and Rescue Company Capital Equipment Requests which have been
added to the CIP in no particular order.
Capital Cost: $1,000,000
