DISTRICT. - APPROVED
Planning Director Eric Lawrence appeared before the Board regarding this application. He
advised that this was a proposal to rezone 281 acres ofland from RA (Rural Areas) District to R4
(Planned Residential Community) District. Director Lawrence stated that the R4 zoning was not
often utilized in the county, but the applicant felt this was an opportunity to utilize the combined
residential/commercial component. He went on to say that ifthe Board approved this rezoning then
the development of the property would be governed by design standards and proffers. The
application proposes to construct 550 residential units on the eastern portion of the property. The
remainder of the property will be used for B-2 (Business General) and government uses. Director
Lawrence went on to say that the applicant has proposed two land offerings as part of this
application:
10 acres for the National Guard Armory.
9 acres for a new Public Safety Building.
The two parcels will be dedicated to the County. The revised proffers address the staffs concerns,
but VDOT will address their concerns tonight. The County's Comprehensive Plan identifies the
land south of Route 50 and north of the airport for future business office uses. The applicant is
proposing to transition from the airport to the residential uses to the north. The Land Use Plan calls
for a collector road system and the applicant has proffered a four lane road to comply with the
Comprehensive Plan. Therc are a number of triggers for the four lane transportation system:
Government uses would require immediate construction of this system.
Development of commercial uses would require construction.
Ifnone of these occur then the road will be built to four lanes by the year 2012.
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12105

Director Lawrence advised that the applicant has requested three modifications to this application:
1. Modification #1: Submission of a Generalized Development Plan (GDP) at rezoning, in
lieu ofthe Master Development Plan (MDP). (The MDP submission will follow rezoning
approval, prior to development of the property.)
2. Modification #2: Allowance of a Mixture of Housing Types: Single-family attached
(townhouses) and multi-family dwellings (apartments) would be predominant.
3. Modification #3: Allowance of a maximum of 60% of Total Gross Area of Business and
Commercial Purposes.
He stated that if the Board denied any of the three modifications it would not be appropriate to
approve the rezoning application. Director Lawrence concluded by saying that the Planning
Commission recommended approval of this rezoning application and advised that the revised
proffers were revised as of October 12, 2005.
Supervisor Van Osten advised that she had spoken with the School Board regarding revised
student projection figures. She stated that this project would result in 220 students at build out (43
high school, 46 middle school, and 131 elementary school students).
Jim Vickers, Owner of Oakcrest Companies, appeared before the Board on behalf of this
application. He advised that his firm had been working with Miller & Smith on this project, which
received a positive response from the Planning Commission. Mr. Vickers stated that he and the
others involved in this project had listened to a number of issues and felt the residential units needed
to be adjusted and were reduced to 550 units. The units will be broken down into 300 townhouse
and 250 condominium units. When these units are sold, the applicant will contribute twice the
monthly homeowners' association fee into an account, which could net between $55,000-$110,000
and could allow the association to have some reserve funds. The applicant has been in discussions
with the Airport Authority and has listened to their concerns. They are currently in negotiations
with the Authority for an acre for acre land swap that would allow the airport to expand. If a swap
cannot be worked out then the applicant will hold the property off market for eight (8) years in order
to provide the Authority with an opportunity to acquire the property. With regard to the proposed
location for the new public safety building, Mr. Vickers advised that the revised proffers now allow
the County to retain ownership of the property even if the building is not built. He concluded by
saying that the uses on land bay #2 have been restricted to government and B-2 uses and that the
firm and property are listed with the General Services Administration as an acquisition site.

Chuck Maddox, Patton Harris Rust & Associates, reviewed the transportation for this
project. He advised that Coverstone Drive would be the major collector and would intersect with
Route 50 across from Sulphur Springs Road. He again reviewed the triggers for construction ofthe
tour-lane road. He went on to say that in no way would this be a two lane road for a period longer
than June 1,2012. The existing Carper's Valley entrance would, at the option of the General
Services Administration, remain open as a gated access. The applicant has also offered a connection
from Coverstone Drive to the adjacent property in order to facilitate a connection with Inverlee Way.
He concluded by saying that water and sewer service are located on or adjacent to the site.
Vice-Chairman Dove asked about a temporary western access to the property.
Mr. Maddox responded that Coverstone Drive would end in a T-intersection with Prince
Frederick Drive. He went on to say that the applicant would also provide $1,000 per dwelling unit
to be used as matching funds for road improvements in this area.
Supervisor Fisher asked about impacts to the existing Route 50, 522, and Interstate 81
intersection.
Mr. Maddox responded that the Traffic Impact Analysis did not go to the I -81 interchange.
Supervisor Tyler asked if the land swap would be acre for acre.
Mr. Maddox responded yes.
Vice-Chairman Dove asked about the Homeowners' Association fees.
Mr. Vickers responded that Oakcrest would contribute twice the monthly fee into an account
for the homeowners' association. He went on to say that it was Oakcrest and Miller & Smith's
intent to build a majority of the units in order to that they can be involved in the start and finish of
this project.
Supervisor Forrester asked about the height of the condominium units.
Mr. Vickers responded that they had potential to be 55 feet high.
Supervisor Forrester asked VDOT's representatives if the revised proffers satisfY their
concerns.
Scott Alexander, Assistant VDOT Residency Administrator, responded "for the most part".
He stated that there were still concerns with proffer 15.9, which states "The Applicant shall use its
best efforts to obtain any necessary off-site right-of-way required for the completion of any traffic
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05
150
improvements otherwise provided for herein at a commercially reasonable cost, but shall not b
required to construct any improvements, including traffic signalization, if such right-of-way canno
be obtained by it." Assistant Residency Administrator Alexander stated that this made him uneasy
Supervisor Tyler asked ifthe traffic generation effect on the two lane road would be okay.
Assistant Residency Administrator Alexander stated that he believes "we" are covered.
Mr. Maddox advised that the applicant owns all ofthe right-of-way necessary to get to Princ
Frederick Drive; however, they do not own the land for primary access to Prince Frederick Drive.
The applicant is in the process of working with the Airport on this issue. He concluded by sayin
that the applicant does have two points of connection to Route 50.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Mark Flynn, Attorney for the Winchester Regional Airport, advised that the Airport coul
not support residential development in the airport support area. He went on to say that the reason
the airport support areas exists is because the airport is a significant economic development tool fo
the county. The Authority has had significant negotiations with the developer and ifthe airport is
to continue to grow, then it must grow on the north side. Mr. Flynn stated that the airport had made
progress in negotiating an agreement with the applicant and it would entail the Airport conveying
away wetlands that could not be developed. The applicant will convey a navigation easement and
a disclosure statement will be put in all ofthe deeds. The agreement also includes land for right-of-
way from Coverstone Drive to Prince Frederick Drive.
Whitney Wagner, Stonewall District and representative of the Prince Frederick Group,
spoke in favor of this rezoning primarily for security reasons. They have been working with the
applicant for additional stand-off area and are also looking at a second way out of the property
leased by the Corps of Engineers.
Dave Worthington, Back Creek District, stated that he was in agreement with the comments
regarding security at the Prince Frederick Group property. He would like for the applicant to
consider protecting the existing wildlife habitat and wetlands. He encouraged protecting the streams
with a conservation easement. He expressed concern about the overcrowding of Armel Elementary
School. He concluded by asking the Board to table this issue in order to get these issues resolved.
Dave McNeal, representing the Board of Directors of Raven Wing, advised that most ofthe
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05
151
residents in the subdivision favored the possible jobs that will be created as part of this project. He
asked what would happen at Inverlee Way.
John Good, Jr., Stonewall District and representative of Blue Ridge Industries, statcd that
he fully supported this application for rezoning.
Patsy Gochenour, Red Bud District, expressed concern about water and sewer capabilities.
She urged the Board to vote no on this project.
Scott Donam, Virginia Department of Aviation, spoke against the proposed residential
development to be located adjacent to the airport.
Ray Hoover, resident of Airport Road, Winchester, spoke against the proposed cluster
housing to be located near the airport. He showed two flight approach paths, one of which goes
right over the proposed cluster homes. He stated that the Board should establish "a toll free number
for complaints".
Paul Anderson, Back Creek District and member of the Winchester Regional Airport
Authority, spoke against the proposed rezoning. He stated that airports close when houses go in
nearby. He concluded by urging the Board to take a long look at this project and its effects on the
County.
There being no further public comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Mr. Maddox responded regarding Inverlee Way by saying that the applicant must close the
crossover at the entrance to Carper's Valley in order for the Inverlee Way improvements to occur.
With regard to the Airport Support Zone language, Mr. Maddox showed the following from the
Comprehensive Policy Plan: "If new residential areas are allowed in the airport support area,
aviation easements or other methods should be used to protect the operations at the airport." He
stated that the all ofthe residential units would be sound proofed. Mr. Maddox went on to say that
if residential units are allowed then they should be done in a certain way and the applicant intended
to do that.
Supervisor Tyler asked if legal counsel had reviewed the revised proffers.
Director Lawrence responded no because they were received at 5:45 p.m. this evening.
Supervisor Forrester asked if condominiums were preferable to townhouses.
Director Lawrence responded that was a judgment call, as it depended on what the County
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05
152
wanted to see. He stated that a variety of housing was better from a planning perspective.
Supervisor Tyler asked the Airport's counsel ifthe eight (8) year caveat on purchasing the
adjacent property was feasible.
Mr. Flynn responded that the residential component ofthis project being located so close to
the airport puts it in the back ofthe line for Federal and State dollars. He went on to say that from
a practical standpoint, the Airport could not acquire the land.
Supervisor Van Osten asked about mitigating the impact on streams.
Mr. Vickers responded that the applicant would work with County staff regarding stream
preservation and mitigating impacts.
Supervisor Fisher stated that there were still issues with this application including the 2000
foot line, the airports land acquisition, and the land use map in the Comprehensive Plan. He stated
that a lot of things in this application have merit, but "the compo plan is the compo plan and it will
be my guiding light." He went on to say that ifthe plan needs to be changed to accommodate this
project, then it needs to go through the process.
Supervisor Fisher moved to deny rezoning application #11-05. The motion was seconded
by Supcrvisor Forrester.
Supervisor Tyler thanked Mr. Vickers for getting involved in this project. She noted that it
did not follow the same process as a previous R-4 rezoning. She concluded by saying that the
airport was an asset for the county.
Supervisor Forrester echoed the same sentiments as Supervisors Fisher and Tyler. She stated
that she was not comfortable moving forward with this application without legal counsel review of
the revised proffers.
There being no further discussion, the motion to deny rezoning application #11-05 was
defeated by the following recorded vote:

OTHER PLANNING ITEMS
MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN #-07-05 OF STEPHENSON VILLAGE -
POSTPONED FOR UP TO 60 DAYS
Planner I Bernard Suchicital appeared before the Board regarding this application. He
advised that this was a review of Phase I ofthe Stephenson Village Master Development Plan. The
applicant has addressed all agency and County comments with the exception of Route 37. Staff
received a revision last Friday for a proposed right-of-way on the southern boundary of the property
to accommodate future Route 37. If the County agrees to this proposal then it will have to be
included in the approved Master Development Plan. He concluded by saying that staff is seeking
administrative authority to approve phase I of this Master Development Plan.
Ty Lawson, attorney for the applicant, appeared before the Board on behalf of this
application. He stated that this was an administrative process to approve this Master Development
Plan. He briefly reviewed the history of this project and advised that the rezoning application was
approved over two years ago. Mr. Lawson stated that this was a master development plan for phase
I ofthis project. He went on to say that this proposed master development plan is in full compliance
with the Zoning Ordinance, proffers, generalized development plan, and Subdivision Ordinance.
The Planning Commission recommended approval and the applicant is requesting approval from the
Board of Supervisors as well. Mr. Lawson stated that Route 37 was not part of the rezoning
application, proffers, or Generalized Development Plan. The applicant has submitted a Master
Development Plan that conforms to the proffers and Route 37 is not part of that. Mr. Lawson
explained that Route 37 could not be part of this master development plan and if the applicant
consented to including it then it would not be in conformance with the rezoning and proffers. He
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05
.157
concluded by saying that this was an administrative process and not a public hearing.
Chairman Shickle responded that he had made it clear that this was not a public hearing and
that the Board was waiving the normal citizen comment rules in order to allow the public to speak
at the time this application is considered, as stated earlier in the meeting. Chairman Shickle asked
if there were any public comments relative to this proposal.
Stannish P. Kugler, Stonewall District, spoke in opposition to this proposed Master
Development Plan. Hc stated that the Route 37 corridor issue is settled in the County's
Comprehensive Plan and the State Plan. He went on to say that a lot of life decisions have been
made based upon the Option "C" alignment. He stated "we are your constituency and we are asking
you to look out for us" and that deflection of Route 37 from the option "C" corridor would affect
retirees and existing homes. He concluded by saying that the new proposed alignment was
preposterous and the applicant should rework their plan to accommodate the 250' right-of-way for
option "C".
Chuck DeHaven, Stonewall District, stated that he had no desire to see this proposal delayed
any longer than necessary and that the applicant's proposal is a step in the right direction. He went
on to say that the Route 37 corridor is essential to address transportation in the long term, but to
impact residents not previously impacted by Option "C" is wrong. He urged the Board to delay a
decision on this Master Development Plan until these issues can be resolved.
Trudi Dixon, Stonewall District, stated that she appreciated the alternate route, but it was
not enough. She went on to say that corridor "C" had been approved through the federal level and
that the alternate proposal should be approved by all levels of government as well. She stated that
Route 37 should not be removed from the Comprehensive Plan without a public hearing and as long
as it was part of the plan, it should be honored.
Bill Meyer, property owner in the Stonewall District and resident of Lees burg, stated that
it appears Shockey is trying to pretend that Route 37 is not there. He thought the route was chosen,
but now they are acting like it is not there.
Bob Boden, Stonewall District, stated that a lot of futures and lives have been based on
Corridor "C". He asked how Corridor "C" could not be an option without a period of study. He
went on to say that Corridor "C" needs to remain open while alternate routes are being studied.
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05

An unnamed male speaker stated that we all knew where Route 37 was to go and the
developer knew that it ran through his property. Moving the road is not the way to do proper
planning in this community and the route should be included on the Stephenson Village Master
Development Plan.
Gary R. Oates, Stonewall District, stated his opposition to any Stephenson Village Master
Development Plan that does not conform to Route 37 Option "C". He went on to say that this needs
to be shown on the master development plan until State and Federal officials sign off on another
option. He stated that he waited until the location of Option "c" was decided before he built his
home. He believes the Board still has the power to get Route 3 7 on the Master Development Plan.
He concluded by saying that he believed the Board" does have a legal leg to stand on".
Howard Kittel, Executive Director ofthe Shenandoah Valley Battlefield Foundation, stated
that Corridor "c" goes through a substantial portion of2nd and 3rd Winchester and steps have been
taken to preserve these properties since the environmental impact studies were completed. He
believed the Board should give serious consideration to the proposed alternative as well as other
options.
Nancy Oliver, Stonewall District, stated that she was opposed to the Master Development
Plan.
Mary Ann Posey, Stonewall District, reminded the Board that over two years ago they were
presented with a petition containing 4,200 signatures opposing the original Route 37. This route had
not received State approval at that time. She stated that a new Route 37 would be set up like lubal
Early Drive with exits to get off of and on to the road. She concluded by saying that a new road
would not be knocking down people's houses.
Mr. Lawson stated that there Is no doubt Route 37 is a hot issue. He stated that public
hearings would be held to accept alternate routes, if land owners wanted to participate in that
process. He explained that this applicant has gone through two rezonings and has submitted a proper
plan that is ready for approval.
Supervisor Tyler asked County Attorney Lawrence Ambrogi if the Board was in a position
to make a substantial change to a proffered rezoning?
Attorney Ambrogi responded that Mr. Mitchell had been dealing with this issue rather than
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05
159
him and he did not feel comfortable issuing an opinion since he did not have all of the information.
He concluded by saying that he would feel more comfortable letting Mr. Mitchell answer that
question.
Administrator Riley advised that responded that Mr. Mitchell had been contacted last week
concerning possible legal issues; however, he has not issued an opinion. He stated that if it is the
Board's desire to get an opinion from him that could be arranged.
Chairman Shickle advised the Board that executive session was the best way to get a legal
Op1l11On.
Vice-Chairman Dove asked VDOT Resident Engineer lerry Copp ifhe had seen the revised
plan for another location of Route 37.
Engineer Copp responded that he had only seen it in the newspaper and what was shown
tonight.
Vice-Chairman Dove asked if it would be difficult for VDOT to work with staff and the
applicant to come up with a location for Route 37.
Engineer Copp responded that he had not had time to consider alternatives and more time
would be needed. He advised that he could give advice in 60 days, but he was not sure about
making a decision in that time.
Supervisor Tyler asked MPO Transportation Planner lohn Bishop about the study process
for Route 37 and what the modeling results showed.
Mr. Bishop stated that a lack of access was the primary issue for Route 37.
Supervisor Van Osten asked what types of studies need to be undertaken or could the County
build off of existing studies.
Mr. Bishop responded that the County could build off of existing studies.
Chairman Shickle asked how MPO staff could assist the County.
Director Lawrence responded that staff could work with MPO staff and VDOT to get advice,
etc.
Chairman Shickle stated that it sounded like there was an option out there if the Board
decides it wants to explore it.
Supervisor Tyler stated that the Board should take advantage ofthe applicant's generosity.
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05
160
She went on to ask if the County would be able to show that a shift or access point would work.
Vice-Chairman Dove stated that Route 37 is in the Comprehensive Plan and he wants it in
the subdivision if the master development plan is to be approved. He went on to say that he woul
like to see the original corridor or a workable alternative.
Supervisor Ewing echoed Vice-Chairman Dove's remarks.
Supervisor Forrester stated that she was initially against the proposed industrial park and she
was not thrilled with the residential component, but she believes the master development plan
conforms to the ordinance. She went on to say that she would support looking into the area in the
lower portion of the property for an alternative route.
Supervisor Fisher believed that the Board was able to get somewhere with the alternative that
has been offered, but it needs to be studied. He went on to say that the Route 37 corridor needs to
stay within the Stephenson Village property and the Board needs to see how is goes through
undeveloped properties.
Director Lawrence advised that Planning staff would look to VDOT, Mr. Bishop, and the
experts for guidance regarding this study.
Chairman Shickle stated that the Board wants to know if the road can fit in the proposed
alternate area and how long it would take staff to have their findings to the Board.
Assistant Administrator Tierney advised that 60 days was a reasonable time line.
Administrator Riley agreed, but said it might be completed sooner.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she was pleased to see the study area on the master
development plan.
Mr. Lawson advised that the alternate proposal was not part ofthe master development plan.
He went on to say that the only item before the Board tonight was a master development plan that
complies with the County's ordinances. He reiterated that the alternate proposal for Route 37 was
not part of the master development plan application.
Supervisor Shickle asked Mr. Lawson what a 60 day delay would do to the master
development plan and if it was a problem.
Mr. Lawson responded that he believed it was a problem because the applicant wanted the
project to go forward. He went on to say that the applicant would continue to work with the County,
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/12/05
161
but a delay would hurt them in the course of the project. He concluded by saying that the applicant
views the master development plan and the alternate Route 37 proposal as separate issues.
Supervisor Tyler stated that the Route 37 plan needed to go back to the drawing board in
order for it to be a transportation solution. She went on to say that alignment "c" was never an
alignment. Supervisor Tyler stated that there needed to be a solution for the community and she felt
the developer had done a good service. She concluded by saying that she would like to take
advantage of that good service in order to disrupt as few lives as possible.
Supervisor Tyler moved to grant staff authority to administratively approve Master
Development Plan #07-05 with the understanding that the developer has offered a two year period
to study the southern boundary for a possible alignment for Route 37. The motion was seconded
by Supervisor Forrester.
Supervisor Van Osten asked what would be the time frame for development activity to begin
if the Board granted administratively approval?
Evan Wyatt, Greenway Engineering, responded six months to one year.

Supervisor Forrester asked if the Board could turn down the plan ifit conforms entirely to
what has been approved.
Director Lawrence responded that staff believes it conforms to everything, but Route 37.
He went on to say that the waiver granted at the rezoning affected the generalized development plan
and not the master development plan.
Supervisor Fisher stated that he was hearing that the Board wanted to take time to look at
the proposed alternative and discuss legal issues.
Upon a motion by Vice-Chairman Dove, seconded by Supervisor Ewing, the Board
postponed Master Development Plan #07 -05 for up to 60 days in order to give the applicant, County
