2. Revenue Sharing Program (Resolution #048 -11)
Minute Book Number 36
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 04/13/11
275
VDOT has called for revenue sharing applications to be in to local residency offices by
April 29, 2011. Staff informed the Committee that the recommendation for this application cycle
is road improvements to Valley Mill Road in the vicinity of Eddy Lane and Route 7. These
improvements could go so far as to realign Valley Mill and create a new signalized intersection
with Route 7. Staff is in the process of working on potential public /private partnerships that
would provide the matching dollars. Staff is seeking Board concurrence on improvements to this
area as this year's revenue sharing application. Due to new rules in this year's program, staff is
also seeking Board permission to modify the application amount to reflect additional matching
dollars over the typical $1 million if they become available.
The Committee could not take formal action, but there was consensus to recommend
Board approval of this application.
Supervisor Lofton asked if approval of this resolution locks the county into a particular
location for Valley Mill Road.
Supervisor DeHaven responded it did not.
Chairman Shickle asked if this proposal had anything to do with Eddy's Lane.
Supervisor DeHaven responded that it could and that some proposals could include the
re- routing of Eddy's Lane. He went on to say this resolution was more a matter of getting the
county in a position to obtain funding.
Supervisor Lofton asked if these funds could be carried over to future years.
Supervisor DeHaven responded the funds could carry over for multiple years, but the
rules were fluid. He went on to say it was typically a two to three year carry over.

Director of Planning and Development Eric Lawrence appeared before the 'Board
regarding this item. He advised the Virginia Constitution requires a re- evaluation and
redistricting to maintain election districts that are composed of contiguous and compact
territories and to achieve proportional representation. Based on the 2010 U.S. Census for
Frederick County, the Gainesboro District has too few people and the Shawnee District has too
many. He went on to say staff assembled a redistricting proposal that complies with applicable
election district regulations. He noted the district boundaries for the Red Bud and Stonewall
Districts remain unchanged. Director Lawrence advised no action by the Board was expected;
however, staff would be available to address the Board's comments and questions. He
concluded by saying staff would bring back amendments to Frederick County Code, Chapter 7,
Elections for board consideration at a future date.
Voter Registrar Rick Miller appeared before the Board. He advised that the State Board
of Elections would print and mail new voter registration cards. He went on to say that he would
make every effort to ensure the public was aware of any changes in precincts and districts. He
concluded by saying the proposed State plans match our precinct lines, if they move forward.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
There were no citizen comments.
Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Administrator Riley reminded the Board that no action was being sought this evening and
staff would schedule this matter for action at the second board meeting in May.
OTHER PLANNING ITEMS
SNOWDEN BRIDGE MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN REQUE TO

Director of Planning and Development Eric Lawrence appeared before the Board
regarding this item. He advised that staff received a request to consider enabling individual
Minute Book Number 36
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 04/13/11
279
developer revisions to the Snowden Bridge Master Development Plan. The request does not
appear to impact or conflict with the approved proffer statement or applicable codes and
ordinances. The request does require Board of Supervisors' approval. He advised this request
was not unique because the Board granted a similar request in the Channing Drive area. Director
Lawrence went on to say if there are any violations of the proffer statement, no permits will be
issued until that problem has been resolved.
Chairman Shickle stated it was his assumption that the master development that currently
exists is the one that is in effect until a new master development plan is filed.
Director Lawrence responded that is correct.
Supervisor DeHaven asked if approval of this request was something other developments
could take advantage of or was the authorized change for just this instance.
Director Lawrence responded approval would only apply to the Snowden Bridge Master
Development Plan.
Supervisor DeHaven moved for approval.
The motion was seconded by Supervisor Dove.
WHEREAS, Rezoning #06 -03 of Stephenson Village was submitted to rezone 794.6
acres from RA (Rural Areas) to R -4 (Residential Planned Community) with proffers. This
property is located on the south side of Old Charlestown and Jordan Springs Roads and east of
Milburn Road, and was identified with Property Identification Numbers 44 -A -31 A, 44 -A -292,
44 -A -293, and a portion of 44 -A -31; and
WHEREAS, Rezoning #06 -03 of Stephenson Village was adopted by the Frederick
County Board of Supervisors on September 24,2003; and
WHEREAS, Master Development Plan #07 -05 for Stephenson Village (renamed
Snowden Bridge) was administratively approved on February 23, 2006; and
WHEREAS, numerous revisions to the Master Development Plan pertaining to housing
types and internal street access have been administratively approved. The revisions did not
affect the location of the major collector road nor its intersection points; and
WHEREAS, The processing of the Master Development Plan revisions to date have
required the property owner approval signatures of both developers (Stephenson Associates LC
and Brookfield Stephenson Village, LLC), yet the revisions appear to only affect the land
holdings of Brookfield Stephenson Village LLC; and
WHEREAS, It has been determined that enabling Master Development Plan revisions
without the benefit of both developer's approval will not affect implementation of the rezoning's
proffered conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Frederick County Board of
Supervisors that Frederick County would be amenable to consider individual master
development plan revisions for the two developers within the 794 acre Snowden Bridge
development.
This ordinance shall be in effect on the day of adoption.
