CITIZEN COMMENTS
Eds Coleman, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs, Berman, appeared before the Board on behalf
of his clients. He briefly reviewed the histories of various conditional use permits for kennels.
He noted previous boards had set the precedent regarding kennels bringing about decreased
property values and noise. He submitted the following letter for the record:
"To: Members of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors ( "BOS ") and the Frederick
County Planning Staff
From: Eds Coleman, Attorney for Scott and Bethanne Berman
The Bermans continue their Opposition to Mrs. Neff's Application for a Conditional Use
Permit ( "CUP') for a dog Kennel. Consistent with their prior comments, no CUP, regardless of
the "Conditions" imposed, should be granted for the establishment of the Kennel. Further, the
proposed "Conditions" suggested by the Planning Staff do not assure the mitigation of the
negative impacts which will result to the Bermans and the Bermans' neighbors. The Bermans
reside at 247 Laurel Grove Road, TM 73 -8 -3, approximately 1, 890 feet from Ms. Neffs proposed
Kennel on TM 73 -9-3.
During the May 14 BOS Meeting discussion of the Kennel Application, Zoning
Administrator Mark Cheran advised that there were sixteen (16) existing kennels established by
CUPS in the Rural Areas Zoning District. A review of the County's files concerning CUP
applications for kennels reveals the following:
1. A "kennel" is defined as "a place prepared to house, board, breed, handle
or otherwise keep or care for dogs for sale or in return for
compensation. "
2. Since 1978 there have been a total of approximately twenty six (26)
applications for kennel CUPs (not including the current Neff Application),
Sixteen (16) such applications have been Approved — of'the sixteen (16)
Approvals, only fourteen (14) of the related files are available for review.
Six Applications were Denied and four applications were Withdrawn.
3. Six 6 of the Lourteen 14 A rovals available for review have been
properties containing in excess of 15 acres (ranging from 20 acres to
107.71 acres). Ms. Neffs parcel contains only 7.65 acres. The larger the
property containing the kennel, the less negative impacts are imposed on
neighboring properties.
The following applications were Approved:
i. 20 acres -- Roy Spaid, January 2001 — to continue in
operation an existing kennel for which no permit previously
had been issued;
ii. 33.9 acres — John Keeler, April 1992 -- to relocate to a
differentparcel ofproperty an existing non - boarding
kennel previously illegally operated;
iii, 3 6.3 6 acres — Wray Kimmel, March 1987;
iv. 55 acres — Cheryl Anderson, October 1985 m-- Cancelled
because subject property was not purchased;
V. 66 acres — Christopher Chisholm, December 1990 —for a
dog grooming facility, with no dogs being housed
overnight;
vi. 107.71 acres — Lisa Drinkwater, October 1997 — limited to
boarding of dogs owned by the property owner.
4. Six (6) of the fourteen (14) Approvals were granted in situations involving
pre- existing, technically illegal kennel- related uses
i, John Keeler, April 1992 — to relocate an existing kennel
operated on Senseny Road that had been unknowingly
illegally operated;
ii. James Orndorff, July 1992 — operated an existing kennel
that was unknowingly illegal;
iii. Shannon Bridges, March 1999— to re- establish a non-
conforming use that previously had operated for roughly 30
years prior to being discontinued 5 years previously;
iv. Roy Spaid, January 2001 — to continue in operation an
existing dog kennel for which no permit had previously
been issued and which had operated for approximately 20
years;
V. Timothy Felty, December 2002 — breeding, raising and
selling dogs as a "hobby, " without knowledge of the
necessity of a permit;
vi. James Frye, September 2012 — application was a result of
a pre - existing violation for use of an existing kennel
without a permit.
Thus, these six (6) Approvals were, at least in part, a recognition of the
applicant's right to continue a kennel use in effect. No kennel has
previously been in existence on Ms. Neff's parcel
Three (3) of the six (6) Denials involved applications by Joseph W.
Edmiston in 1994, 1995, and 1997 for a non - boarding dog kennel. The
1997 Application was for an already existing kennel operation that had
been operating illegally since the 1995 Application had been denied.
5. Five (5) of the fourteen (14) Approvals were not or overnight boarding of
clients' dogs
i. Christopher Chisholm, December 1990 —for a dog
grooming facility with dogs not to be housed overnight;
ii. John Keeler, April 1992 — overnight boarding of dogs was
not proposed;
iii. Lisa Drinkwater, October 1997 — only dogs owned by the
owner could be boarded, as she wanted to breed one or two
dogs a year and sell the puppies;
iv. Nanette McFarland, January 2000 — CUP granted for pet
sitting in her home, with the dogs to be kept completely
7
indoors in the basement of her residence;
V. Roy Spaid, January 2001 for non - boarding only, stating
that this was not the retail type kennel whereby the dog
owners would leave their dogs at the kennel while on
vacation, etc.
Further, all three of Joseph Edmiston's denied Applications were for the
boarding of dogs owned by Mr. Edmiston, not for dogs owned by clients.
Mrs. Neff seeks to board overnight twenty -eight (28) dogs owned by
clients, but a motion was made and seconded at the 5114114 BOS
Meeting to reduce the number of dogs from twenty -eight (28) to twenty
(20).
6 In various applications, the County Health Department has commented
that dog waste is considered to be a commercial and industrial waste
regulated by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ').
7. The May 14 Meeting on Mrs. Neffs Application included the Board's
discussion to the effect that no empirical data has been provided to
support a claim that a dog kennel causes a decrease in property values.
The attached May 12, 2014 letter of Realtor Laura White had been
submitted to the Board in support of that claim.
It is common knowledge, and this Board can take notice thereof, that a
dog kennel negatively impacts residential property values. A typical
residential real estate buyer, when given a choice as to purchasing a
residence near to a dog kennel vs, purchasing a comparable residence not
near a dog kennel, would choose the residence that is not near a kennel.
An adjacent or nearby dog kennel does have an impact on market value,
and a typical buyer would pay less for the same residence that is near a
kennel. The only question is: "How much less? " Empirical data may be
useful to establish the percentage or amount of the reduction in values, but
is not necessary in order for this Board to recognize that there is a
reduction in value.
Previous Boards have acknowledged the obvious negative impact of a dog
kennel upon neighboring property values. This is apparent from the
denials of the Joseph Edmiston applications:
a. The 1995 Denial file includes a 312411994 letter from three
Edmiston neighbors stating that they had spoken to realtors
about selling their houses and moving, but they were told
they would have a hard time doing so with a kennel of
barking dogs next door,
b. The 1997 Denial specifically noted the Board's concern
regarding noise and the resulting affect ugonprrQperby
value, and the Staff Report indicated that a contracted sale
had been lost due to the existence of the kennel.
8. The CUP files are replete with expressions ofprior Board's concerns
about the noise created by barking dogs. In support of his application for
a CUP for a pre- existing kennel already operating without a CUP, James
Fry stated to the Board that he utilizes shock collars and electronic bark
deterrent systems to discourage barking.
Mrs. Neff has not proposed her use of any collars, devices or systems to
discourage and limit barking.
9. Included in the six (6) Denials are the following;
a. 1997 Denial of Application from Marietta and Kim
Walls /Apple Valley Animal Hospital on TM 63 -A -2K
(Cedar Creek Grade), containing 3.5 acres, seeking
expansion of a 1991 CUP for a veterinarian clinic and
hospital, without the right to board animals that did not
require hospitalization. The 1997 Application sought
boarding rights, and was denied by the Board.
b. 2004 Denial of Application from Coy Thompson on TM34-
3-B containing 5.90 acres, seeking a boarding and
grooming facility. The Planning Commission and the Staff
had recommended approval, but the Board denied the
C UP.
Based upon the Board's own precedents as reflected in the County's Kennel CUP files,
Mrs. Neff's Application for a CUP for the boarding of dogs on a parcel containing only 7.65
acres should be denied.
Respectfully submitted,
Eds Coleman for
Scott and Bethanne Berman "

** *Item Requiring Action * **
The DIM -OC reviewed the critical inputs for the Annual Update of the Development Impact
Model (DIM). The inputs are essential in order to maintain an updated DIM. It is important to
note that the DIM is a planning tool which projects anticipated operational and capital facility
costs associated with land use planning, although the DIM is also commonly referenced as the
model utilized to project the capital facility costs associated with development and rezoning
proposals.
Upon approval of the DIM -OC's recommendation, staff will use the updated model in the
consideration of land use planning analysis and for future rezoning petitions. The critical input
spreadsheet (Attachment #1) and resulting projected capital facilities costs (Attachment #2) are
attached for your information.
Upon utilizing the critical input updated figures, the DIM projects the following impacts on the
County's capital facilities:

$19,600
Town Home Dwelling Unit

$13,062
Apartment Dwelling Unit
= $12,697
$11,339
By majority vote, the DIM -OC recommends the use of the critical inputs, and for their
incorporation into model.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Hess, seconded by Supervisor Lofton, the Board approved
the new Development Impact Model inputs and their incorporation into the model.

** *Informational Purposes Only * **
The DIM -OC reviewed the past years' extensive effort to evaluate the Development Impact
Model, and the policies currently in effect for how the DIM is utilized during the rezoning
application process. This evaluation was at the recommendation of the Board's Business
Friendly Committee.
It was noted that the DIM projects that a single family home will generate $133,511 in demands
for county services over 20 years, yet the same home would contribute less than $74,000 directly
to the county in terms of tax contributions from real estate and personal property.
The DIM -OC discussed how the DIM was used during the rezoning process and recognized that
during rezoning considerations the DIM solely considers capital costs, and not revenue
contributions. The DIM -OC evaluated potential policy amendments to enable revenue credits to
be included during the rezoning process. The revenue credits considered were associated with
residential and commercial development when a development proposal had a mix of uses.
Ultimately, the DIM -OC recommended against such revenue credits. The DIM -OC also
evaluated credits for proffered transportation improvements, and endorsed such credits when the
improvements exceeded what was identified in a Transportation Impact Analysis as necessary to
offset projected impacts. The Board did ultimately, in January 2014, amend the policy to enable
the transportation credits.
PUBLIC HEARING
TWELVE MONTH OUTDOOR FESTIVAL PERMIT REQUEST OF TRUMPET
21
VINE FARM (DEMARCHI SPEARS). PURSUANT TO THE FREDERICK
COUNTY CODE CHAPTER 86 FESTIVALS; SECTION 86 -3 PERMIT
REQUIRED; APPLICATION; ISSUANCE OR DENIAL; FEE; PARAGRAPH 3,
TWELVE MONTH PERMTI'S. ALL EVENTS TO BE HELD ON THE
GROUNDS OF TRUMPET VINE FARM, 266 VAUCLU_ SE ROAD, STEPHENS
CITY VIRGINIA. PROPERTY OWNED BY
C
DEMAR HI SPEARS. - DENIED
Administrator Riley advised this was a request for a 12 month outdoor festival permit by
Trumpet Vine Farm and DeMarchi Spears. The request was pursuant to the Frederick County
Code, Chapter 86 Festivals. All events to be held on the grounds of Trumpet Vine Farm, 266
Vaucluse Road, Stephens City, VA,
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
William H. Pfahl, Back Creek District and adjacent landowner, spoke in opposition to
this permit. He stated the property owner did not consult with him about this venture and the
first he heard of this was when he saw the ad in the June 11, 2014 edition of The Winchester
Star. He stated he was not sure if the applicant had adhered to the setback regulations. He went
on to say it appeared the applicant was trying to change the zoning of this property for a
commercial activity. He noted several items on the application were left blank. He believed this
was a financially rewarding enterprise without a license and was an attempt to alter the rural
nature of the area. He stated if the permit was granted it would permanently alter the nature of
the area. He concluded by saying if the permit were to be approved he would like to see the
applicant be required to post a performance bond and that events not be permitted to go beyond
10:00 P.M.
There being no further comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Lofton advised that he had visited both properties and he had a conflict with
Mr. Pfahl's interpretation of location of the pavilion. He noted there was 500 feet of separation
and a grown fence line between the two properties. He went on to say the only issue might be
22
loud music. He noted that he had spoken with the applicant and was assured the applicant would
work with events regarding speaker placement, etc. so as to limit noise. Supervisor Lofton
concluded by saying there was no guarantee of 24/7 peace and quiet because the property was
close to the drive -in and I -81 could be heard.
Supervisor Lofton moved to approve the 12 month festival permit for Trumpet Vine
Farm. The motion was seconded by Vice - Chairman DeHaven.
Supervisor Fisher advised the pavilion structure was not approved and a building permit
was not applied for.
Supervisor Lofton stated that was not an issue because the structure is permitted as an
agricultural structure. He went on to say the building official does not have a problem with the
structure, but the change of use is what has caused the applicant to go through the building
permit process.
There being no further discussion, the motion to approve the 12 month festival permit
was denied by the following recorded vote:

AMENDMENT TO THE 2014 -2015 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET — PURSUANT TO
SECTION 15.2 -2507 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA 1950 AS AMENDED THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND
THE FISCAL YEAR 2014 -2015 BUDGET TO REFLECT:
AIRPORT CAPITAL FUND SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION IN THE
AMOUNT OF $5,070,000. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS CAPITAL PROJECTS
INCLUDING RELOCATION OF SOUTH APRON AND LAND ACQUISITION.
CAPITAL PROJECT FUND SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION IN THE
23
AMOUNT OF $7,206 THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS THE PROJECT
BUDGET FOR THE REPLACEMENT ROUND HILL FIRE AND RESCUE
STATIONAND EVENT CENTER. - APPROVED
Administrator Riley advised this was a public hearing on an amendment to the FY 2014-
2015 budget. The first item was an Airport Capital Fund supplemental appropriation in the
amount of $5,070,000 for capital projects to include the relocation of the south apron and land
acquisition. The second item was a capital project supplemental appropriation in the amount of
$7,206,953 for the replacement Round Hill fire and rescue station and event center.
With regard to the fire station, Administrator Riley advised the Finance Committee
recommended advertisement and approval of the Capital Project Fund Supplemental
Appropriation for the construction of the new Round Hill fire station and event center. At the
conclusion of the budget amendment public hearing, staff was seeking Board approval of the
supplemental appropriation.
In addition to approval of the appropriation, staff was seeking action from the Board on
an authorization resolution which would allow the County to pursue financing through the
Virginia Resources Authority. The Finance Committee did not forward a recommendation on a
preferred financing option; however, there were two options that could be pursued relative to this
project. The two options to be considered were:
1) Submit an application for the County's share of this project in the amount of $4,200,000
which would include $3,869,693,00 for the fire station component and associated site
work and $330,307.00 for cost of issuance and any discount; or
2) Submit an application to fund both the fire station and event center in the amount of
$5,900,000, which would include $5,600,541.00 and $299,459.00 for cost of issuance
and any discount.
Included as part of each authorizing resolution is a reimbursement resolution (paragraph
13), which would allow the County to reimburse itself for costs incurred between now and the
24
bond closing date, tentatively set for August 13, 2014. Board action on the authorizing
resolution would approve the reimbursement component as well.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
There were no public comments.
Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.

lease financing of fire and rescue facilities and a community center and authorizing the leasing of
certain county -owned property, the execution and delivery of a prime lease and a local lease

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the "Board ") of the County of Frederick, Virginia
(the "County "), intends to finance the construction and equipping of fire and rescue facilities,
consisting primarily of a fire station and a building to be used as a community center for the
Round Hill Community Fire and Rescue Company (the "Projects ");
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the County to enter
into a lease arrangement in order to obtain funds to finance the Projects;
WHEREAS, the Board is authorized, pursuant to Section 15.2-1800 of the Code of
Virginia of 1950, as amended, to lease any improved or unimproved real estate held by the

Projects pursuant to the terms of a Local Lease Acquisition Agreement and Financing Lease (the
"Financing Lease "), between the County and VRA;
WHEREAS, the County will enter into a Prime Lease (the "Prime Lease ") with VRA
whereby the County will lease the Projects and the real estate on which the Projects will be

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Lease the County will undertake and complete
the Projects;
WHEREAS, the County intends to pay the Rental Payments out of appropriations from
the County's General Fund;
WHEREAS, the Financing Lease shall indicate that approximately $5,600,541 plus an

91
WHEREAS, VRA has advised the County that VRA's objective is to pay the County an
amount which, in VRA's judgment, reflects the market value of the Rental Payments under the
Financing Lease (the "VRA Purchase Price Objective "), taking into consideration the Proceeds
Requested and such factors as the purchase price to be received by VRA for the VRA Bonds, the
issuance costs of the VRA Bonds (consisting of the underwriters' discount and other costs
incurred by VRA (collectively, the "VRA Costs ")) and other market conditions relating to the
sale of the VRA Bonds;
WHEREAS, such factors may result in the County receiving an amount other than the

Lease and consequently (i) the aggregate principal components of the Rental Payments under the
Financing Lease may be greater than the Proceeds Requested in order to receive an amount of
proceeds that is substantially equal to the Proceeds Requested, or (ii) if the maximum authorized
aggregate amount of the principal components of the Rental Payments under the Financing Lease
does not equal or exceed the sum of the Proceeds Requested plus the amount of the VRA Costs
and any original issue discount, the amount to be paid to the County, given the VRA Purchase
Price Objective and market conditions, will be less than the Proceeds Requested; and
WHEREAS, the Prime Lease and the Financing Lease and an Addendum between the
County and the Round Hill Community Fire and Rescue Company amending the Fire and
Rescue Joint Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2007 are referred to herein as the

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
THE COUNTY OF FREDERICK, VIRGINIA:
1. Approval o ease, -,
Lease-Leaseback Arrangement The lease - leaseback arrangement
_
with VRA to accomplish the financing of the Projects is hereby approved. The leasing of the
Real Estate and the Projects by the County, as lessor, to VRA, as lessee, pursuant to the terms of
the Prime Lease is hereby approved. The leasing of the Real Estate and the Projects by VRA, as
lessor, to the County, as lessee, pursuant to the terms of the Financing Lease is hereby approved.
2. Approval of the Terms „of,t e
Rental Payments The Rental Payments set forth
the
the Financing Lease shall be composed of principal and interest components reflecting an
original aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,900,000 and a true interest cost not to
exceed 6.0% per annum (exclusive of "Supplemental Interest" as provided in the Financing
Lease and taking into account any original issue discount or premium); and the final maturity
shall be not later than 25 years from the date of the first Rental Payment under the Financing
Lease.
It is determined to be in the best interest of the County to enter into the Financing Lease
with VRA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Resolution. Given the VRA
Purchase Price Objective and market conditions, it may become necessary to enter into the
Financing Lease with aggregate principal components of the Rental Payments greater than the
Proceeds Requested. If the limitation on the maximum aggregate principal components of
Rental Payments on the Financing Lease set forth in this paragraph 2 restricts VRA's ability to
generate the Proceeds Requested, taking into account the VRA Costs, the VRA Purchase Price
27
Objective and market conditions, the County Administrator is authorized to accept a purchase
price at an amount less than the Proceeds Requested. The County Administrator is authorized to
accept the interest component of Rental Payments based on the interest rate or rates established
by VRA. The actions of the County Administrator in accepting the final terms of the Financing
Lease, including its purchase price and the Rental Payments shall be conclusive, and no further
action shall be necessary on the part of the Board.
3. Other Payments under Financing Lease Subject to paragraphs 7 and 8 below,
the County agrees to pay all amounts required by the Financing Lease in addition to Rental
Payments, including the "Supplemental Interest," as provided in the Financing Lease.
4. Execution and Recordation of Documents The Chairman and the County
Administrator, either of whom may act, are authorized and directed to execute the Documents
and deliver them to the other parties thereto. The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and any
Deputy Clerk, any of whom may act, are authorized to affix the seal of the County, or a facsimile
thereof, to the Documents, if required, and to attest such seal. The Chairman and the County
Administrator, either of whom may act, are further authorized to cause the Prime Lease and the
Financing Lease, to be recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Frederick County.
5. Form of Documents The Documents shall be in substantially the forms on file
with the County Administrator, which Documents are hereby approved with such completions,
omissions, insertions and changes as may be approved by the Chairman and the County
Administrator, either of whom may act. The execution and delivery of the Documents by the
Chairman and the County Administrator, or either of them, will constitute conclusive evidence of
the approval of any such completions, omissions, insertions, and changes, including acceptance
of the final terms of the Financing Lease.
6. Essentiality of the Projects and Real Estate The Projects and the Real Estate
are hereby declared to be essential to the efficient operation of the County, and the County
anticipates that the Projects and the Real Estate will continue to be essential to the operation of
the County during the term of the Financing Lease.
7. Annual Budget While recognizing that it is not empowered to make any binding
commitment to make Rental Payments and any other payments required under the Financing
Lease beyond the current fiscal year, the Board hereby states its intent to make annual
appropriations for future fiscal years in amounts sufficient to make all such payments and hereby
recommends that future Boards do likewise during the term of the Financing Lease. The Board
directs the County Administrator, or such other officer who may be charged with the
responsibility for preparing the County's annual budget, to include in the budget request for each
fiscal year during the term of the Financing Lease an amount sufficient to pay the Rental
Payments and all other payments coming due under the Financing Lease during such fiscal year.
If at any time during any fiscal year of the County throughout the term of the Financing Lease,
the amount appropriated in the County's annual budget in any such fiscal year is insufficient to
pay when due the Rental Payments and any other payments required under the Financing Lease,
the Board directs the County Administrator, or such other officer who may be charged with the
responsibility for preparing the County's annual budget, to submit to the Board at the next
28
scheduled meeting, or as promptly as practicable but in any event within 45 days, a request for a
supplemental appropriation sufficient to cover the deficit.
8. Rental Pa ments Subject to Appropriation, The County's obligation to make
the Rental Payments and all other payments pursuant to the Financing Lease is hereby
specifically stated to be subject to annual appropriation therefor by the Board, and nothing in this
Resolution or the Documents shall constitute a pledge of the full faith and credit or taxing power
of the County or compel the Board to make any such appropriation.
9. Disclosure Documents The County authorizes and consents to the inclusion of
information with respect to the County in- VRA's Preliminary Official Statement and VRA's
Official Statement in final form, both to be prepared in connection with the sale of the VRA
Bonds. If appropriate, such disclosure documents shall be distributed in such manner and at such
times as VRA shall determine. The County Administrator is authorized and directed to take
whatever actions are necessary and/or appropriate to aid VRA in ensuring compliance with
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2 -12.
10. Tax Documents The County Administrator and the County's Director of
Finance, either of whom may act, are hereby authorized to execute a Nonarbitrage Certificate
and Tax Compliance Agreement and /or any related document (the "Tax Documents ") setting
forth the expected use and investment of the proceeds of the VRA Bonds to be received pursuant
to the Documents and containing such covenants as may be necessary in order for the County
and VRA to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1985, as amended (the
"Tax Code "), with respect to the VRA Bonds and the Documents including the provisions of
Section 148 of the Tax Code and applicable regulations relating to "arbitrage bonds." The
County covenants that the proceeds of the VRA Bonds to be received pursuant to the Documents
will be invested and expended as set forth in the Tax Documents, to be delivered simultaneously
with the issuance and delivery of the Financing Lease and that the County shall comply with the
other covenants and representations contained therein.
11. Other Actions All other actions of the officers of the County in conformity with
the purpose and intent of this Resolution are hereby approved and confirmed. The officers of the
County are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver all certificates and instruments
and to take all such further action as may be considered necessary or desirable in connection with
the actions contemplated by this Resolution or the execution and delivery of the Documents.
12. SNAP Investment Authorization The County has heretofore received and
reviewed the Information Statement (the "Information Statement ") describing the State Non -
Arbitrage Program of the Commonwealth of Virginia ( "SNAP ") and the Contract Creating the
State Non - Arbitrage Program Pool I (the "Contract "), and the County has determined to
authorize the County Administrator and the Treasurer, or either of them, to utilize SNAP in
connection with the investment of the proceeds of the lease - leaseback transaction if the County
Administrator and the Treasurer determine that the utilization of SNAP is in the best interest of
the County. The Board acknowledges that the Treasury Board of the Commonwealth of Virginia
is not, and shall not be, in any way liable to the County in connection with SNAP, except as
otherwise provided in the contract creating the investment program pool.
29
13. Reimbursement The Board of Supervisors adopts this declaration of official
intent under Treasury Regulations Section 1.150 -2. The Board of Supervisors reasonably
expects to reimburse advances made or to be made by the County to pay the costs of the Projects
from the proceeds of its debt or other financings. The maximum amount of debt or other
financings expected to be issued in one or more series for the Projects is $5,725,000.
14. Effective Date This resolution shall take effect immediately.
Supervisor Lofton asked if documents had been prepared that would indemnify the
County if the Round Hill fire company could not pay the debt service on their portion of the debt
or was the County responsible for paying that portion of the debt?
Administrator Riley responded the County would carry the debt.
Supervisor Fisher stated the Board should make all efforts to ensure Round Hill pays
their share of the debt; however, there could probably be some exposure to the county's
taxpayers.

DISCUSSION. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT CONTINUES TO
CONSOLIDATE AND REINFORCE THE UDA CENTER DISCUSSION WITHIN
THE 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND FURTHER STRENGTHENS SOUND
30
PLANNING PRINCIPLES WITHIN THE COUNTY'S URBAN AREAS. THE
AIM OF THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS TO ILLUSTRATE WHY UDA
CENTERS IN FREDERICK COUNTY ARE IMPORTANT AND TO
HIGHLIGHT WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM LIVING IN THESE STRATEGIC
GROWTH AREAS. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD BE INSERTED
INTO THE PLAN WITHIN CHAPTER 1 URBAN AREAS. - DENIED
Deputy Director of Planning Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this
item. He advised this was a proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan regarding UDA
Centers. This proposed amendment supports projects the development community finds
desirable. The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee supported the proposed
amendment and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendment.
Supervisor Hess asked how a determination would be made regarding the success of this
proposal.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded success would be based on how it would be received
by the community. He went on to say these types of developments tend to evolve with the
market.
Supervisor Hess asked when staff thought one of these developments would be seen in
Frederick County.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded there could very easily be one in the next five years.
Supervisor Hess asked if the word "direct" under the Future Focus section could be
changed to "encourage ", as that seemed a better word choice.
Deputy Director Ruddy concurred.
Supervisor Wells stated the demographics of an area drive this type of development and
he did not think it would happen right now.
Supervisor Collins stated this proposal was encouraging development in the Urban
Development Area and not mandating action. He went on to say he did not see a definition of
31
urban center.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Evan Wyatt, Greenway Engineering, concurred that this proposed amendment was
aspirational and provided opportunities in the future. He went on to say he would be concerned
if this was a way of dictating rezonings. He concluded by saying this was a good target and goal.
Alan Morrison, Gainesboro District, expressed concern over this proposed high density
residential growth without adequate employment for the people residing in these types of
developments. He went on to say growth would happen in Frederick County "without regard for
what we do here or not." He stated this type of development was not Frederick County and
would create fundamental change in the county. He concluded by saying he was concerned
about the loss of freedom by the property owners.
Dody Stottlemyer, Shawnee District, stated she continues to believe Urban Development
Areas are a bad development idea for people. She stated the main contributors of growth were
outside of the Winchester Metropolitan Statistical Area. She concluded by saying a higher
quality of life means more freedom of choices.
There being no further public comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Fisher, seconded by Supervisor Collins, the Board denied
the amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter I, Urban. Areas — UDA Centers and the
2030 Comprehensive Plan.
Supervisor Fisher stated he was not convinced this the way we want to go.He went on to
say the intensity and density required to do this type of development did not exist here.
32
Supervisor Hess stated Urban Development Centers would not occur here for some time.
He went on to say a lot of views and perspectives might change over the years, but we should
wait until these types of developments are closer to being a reality.
Supervisor Collins stated he was not in favor at this time.
Supervisor Lofton stated he looked at this as another tool and it would give property
owners more tools or development options for their property.

professional appraisal firms and was told they could find no such data. He concluded by saying

DISCUSSION — MIDDLETOWN AREA SEWER AND WATER DIRECTION:

MIDDLETOWN/LFCC — FUTURE EXPANSION AREA, JVOTE
POSTPONED FROM MAY 28 2014 BOARD MEETING.
(II) RELIANCE ROAD REQUEST — MIDDLETOWN PROPERTIES,�LLC. —
MODIFIED REQUEST SENT FORWARD FOR PUBLIC HEARING
Deputy Planning Director Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this item.
He advised this was a proposed Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendment for a future expansion
of the sewer and water service area for property to the north of Lord Fairfax Community
College. The property has been designated as OM (Mixed Use Office /Industrial) with the
recognition that other business development land uses aimed at supporting Lord Fairfax
Community College might be considered with rezoning requests implementing the plan. Deputy
Director Ruddy noted no residential development would be allowed. He stated the timing of the
proposed sewer and water service area expansion needed to be addressed, in particular who
would be responsible for providing water and sewer service to this area. The two options are the
Frederick County Sanitation Authority or the City of Winchester (Water) and Town of
Middletown (Sewer). Deputy Director Ruddy noted two additional requests had been received to
expand the sewer and water service area down Reliance Road. He concluded by saying staff was
35
seeking direction from the Board regarding this proposal.
Supervisor Lofton stated he would like to forward the proposed plan to public hearing.
Supervisor Wells stated at the present time the Frederick County Sanitation Authority
does not have water and sewer service in that area; however, he believed the Authority would
want the rights to water and sewer connections in the future. He went on to say he would like to
put a 15 to 20 year time line in place that would enable the Sanitation Authority to have the
option to take over those facilities when feasible,
Vice - Chairman DeHaven stated he had no objection to the sewer and water service area
expansion, but the area needed to be served by the Frederick County Sanitation Authority
"period ".
Supervisor Lofton agreed with Vice - Chairman DeHaven. He went on to say the
Authority should be directed to find a way to serve that area and across I -81.
Supervisor Fisher stated that to do anything less than have the area served by the
Frederick County Sanitation Authority would drive a wedge into that area.
Supervisor Lofton stated he was in favor of the expansion, but if the Board directs the
Sanitation Authority to provide water and sewer to the area and they do not then it negates what
the Board does tonight.
Vice - Chairman DeHaven stated he had no objection to looking at Reliance Road area, but
right now the Board had nothing but a request.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Lofton, seconded by Vice - Chairman DeHaven, the Board
directed staff to move this request through the public hearing process with the understanding that
the Frederick County Sanitation Authority would provide services in that area.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote:

* * *Items Not Requiring Action* * *
1. Carry Forward Requests
The committee reviewed and unanimously endorsed carry forward requests from the following
budgets: landfill, road administration, animal shelter and Shawneeland. These requests are explained in
the attached memorandums. For the most part, these requests are related to projects or purchases which
could not be initiated or completed in the current fiscal year. (Attachment 2)
2. Discussion with the Fire Marshal Regarding Fee Increases
The committee engaged the fire marshal in a discussion centered on their role in assisting the
building inspection department related to plan review and inspections of fire safety issues such as
sprinkler systems, emergency lighting, etc. Basically, it was concluded that the building official through
the inspection department has the legal responsibility for issuing building permits and certificates of
occupancy. The fire marshal's office has the legal responsibility for enforcing the fire code after the
building is occupied. The committee concluded that even though there was some duplication of effort
during the initial permitting and construction phases, it was advantageous to Frederick County to have
both departments involved in the review and inspection of fire safety items.
The fire marshal indicated that he plans to present proposed fees for inspections related to
occupied structures at a future public works committee meeting.

SUBJECT: Adjustments to the Frederick County Building Permit Fees
Fax 5401678 -0682
As requested, the Building Department has conducted an evaluation of the current permit fee schedule.
The previous amendment of the fee schedule occurred in March of 2006. This evaluation included
several other localities Building Departments permit fees, the activities and expenses not related to
permit fees and the revenue to expenditure comparison of Building Department to maintain services.
Our findings are as follows:
The permit fees ($733,405 collected over the past twelve months) have shown a 6% increase over the
same period of the previous year. This increase was accomplished without a permitted commercial
project exceeding 200,000 sq. ft. in size. The recommended increases shown on the revised fee
schedule attached would increase the fees collected within a similar year by approximately $90,000.
Any additional percentage of activity increase would be added to this amount.
The Building Department conducted 398 Property Maintenance Complaints, and Red Tag Fire Damage
inspections this past year. The staff also reviewed 99 site plans in the twelve month period. This non -
permitted activity relates to approximately $65,000 in expenditures. I would not recommend reclaiming
the cost of these expenditures through the collection of permit fees.
Compared to other localities, Frederick County needs to increase fees on the residential permit from
our current amount of $.38 per sq. ft. to $.40 per sq. ft. The greater need is for increase in the
Commercial and Industrial fees. The increases shown on the revised fees attached are to offset the lack
of a separate plans review fee that is charged by some localities. The increase fees would be placed on
the type of structures that creates the most Building Inspection Department's activity. The fee schedule
shows an increase in those structures from $.15 per sq. ft. to $.22 per sq. ft. and other structures such as
a warehouse from $.15 per sq. ft. to $.18 per sq. ft. Please note the increase of $.01 per sq. it. would
equal a collection of $6,356.00 in revenue for a commercial building and $5,444.00 for a residential
building based on square footage this past year. Square footage relates to 41% of all fees collected in
the Building Departments revenue.
Please review the attached charts of an average size dwelling and a 53,584 sq. ft. office building
comparing Frederick County's building permit fees collected to other localities. Also note the chart
comparing Building Department's recent revenues to expenditures.

We are requesting that $100,000 be carried forward to cover any unexpected
changes in work related to a contract awarded to Perry Engineering in on April
30, 2014. A portion of the contract is to reconstruct the leachate holding pond for
the old Permit 40 landfill. Due to the location of the existing pond, we were
unable to completely evaluate the site conditions, therefore the potential for
unknown conditions exists, which may cause additional work that is not in the
original scope awarded.

FROM: Rhonda L. Sargent_ Administrative Assistant, Department of Public 1Vorks . -3
SUBJECT: Request for Carry Forward from Fiscal Year 201312014 to Fiscal Year 2014/2015
Road Administration Budget
DATE: June 17, 2014
I am requesting that an amount of $4,500 be carried forward from the 201312014 fiscal
year Road Administration budget line item 30-4102-3010-00 -- Other Contractual 'Services to the
same line itern in the 201412015 fiscal year Road Administration budget.
Recently, the county sign installation contractor informed me that our installation
materials (pasts, caps, crosspieces and mounting hardware) were in short supply, however.. 1
didn't have enough funds remaining in the current fiscal year budget to completely replenish the
materials. In order to make it more cost effective, it's necessary to order posts, caps and
crosspieces in quantities of 104 per item, The cost for the items listed above will be $14,581
which will be a major expenditure from the funds budgeted in the fiscal year 201412015 budget.
Therefore, I am regLesting the carry forward of funds to supplement the approved 2014/2105
budget to accommodate the purchase of these materials as well as continue the county's street
name sign program.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE
RUSSELL 150 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AND AUTHORIZING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BY AND AMONG
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, THE RUSSELL 150 LANDOWNER,
AND THE RUSSELL 150 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
July 9, 2014
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick, Virginia (the
"Board ") created the Russell 150 Community Development Authority (the "CDA ") by
Ordinance enacted March 9, 2005; and,
WHEREAS, the CDA previously, in 2006, requested that the Board establish
special assessments on the property within the CDA District; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to that request, by Ordinance enacted May 24, 2006, the
Board established special assessments (the "Special Assessments ") on the property
within the CDA District and authorized entry into a Memorandum of Understanding (the
"Memorandum of Understanding ") among the Board, Russell 150, LC, as the original
owner and developer of the property within the CDA District, and the CDA, such
Memorandum of Understanding setting forth certain agreements with Russell 150, LC
and with the CDA; and,
WHEREAS, the CDA issued bonds (the "Bonds ") to finance certain public
improvements to benefit property within the CDA District; and,
WHEREAS, proceeds from the Special Assessments would be used to repay the
Bonds; and,
WHEREAS, Russell 150, LC defaulted on certain of its obligations with respect to
the Special Assessments, the Memorandum of Understanding and the property within
the CDA District, resulting in delinquencies in the payment of real property taxes and
the Special Assessments, and resulting in the purchase of the Property, at a court-
ordered sale, by R150 SPE, LLC, which entity therefore takes the place of Russell 150,
LC for purposes of the CDA, the Special Assessments, the Memorandum of
Understanding, and the Bonds; and,
WHEREAS, a portion of the original principal amount of the Bonds has been
redeemed, but a balance of $5,749,000 remains outstanding; and,
WHEREAS, MMA Realty Capital, LLC, having previously executed a debt service
reserve fund deficiency agreement, as security for the repayment of the Bonds, paid to
the indenture trustee for the Bonds amount totaling $2,062,053 as amounts necessary
to maintain the debt service reserve fund requirement for the bonds (the "Guarantor
Advances "); and,
WHEREAS, the Special Assessments are delinquent by an amount in excess of
$5,000,000 and, as a result, no funds are currently available to repay the Bonds or the
Guarantor Advances; and,
WHEREAS, the amendment of the Special Assessments and the amendment of
the Memorandum of Understanding will facilitate payment of the Special Assessments
and, as such, will benefit the citizens of the County by promoting increased employment
opportunities, a strengthened economic base, increased tax revenues, and additional
business opportunities not currently available in the local area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE
COUNTY OF FREDERICK, VIRGINIA:
1. Approval of First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understandinq. The
First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding, including the accompanying
Schedule 1 — Revised Special Assessment Roll and Exhibit A — Term Sheet, is
approved in substantially the form presented to the Board at this meeting, with such
changes and corrections (including, without limitation, changes in the date thereof) that
do not materially adversely affect the County's interests as may be approved by the
County Administrator or the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, whose approval
shall be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery of the First Amendment to
the Memorandum of Understanding. The County Administrator and the Chairman of the
Board of Supervisors, or either of them, is authorized and directed to execute and
deliver the First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding.
2. Special Assessment. By agreement among the Board, R150 SPE, LLC,
and the CDA, pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, the Special
Assessments to pay the costs of certain public improvements to benefit property within
the CDA District are hereby amended and apportioned in accordance with the Schedule
1 — Revised Special Assessment Roll and Exhibit A — Term Sheet, accompanying the
First Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding, in substantially the form
presented to the Board at this meeting. The CDA shall cause notice of the Special
Assessments, as amended, to be reported to the County's Treasurer or other County
official responsible for the collection of taxes. The Special Assessments, as amended
shall be liens on the taxable real property in the CDA District in accordance with the
provisions of Virginia Code Sections 15.2 -2404 et seq.
3. No Effect on Real Property Taxes or Administrative Expenses. Nothing in
this Ordinance shall in any way affect the assessment or collection of regular County
real property taxes on the real property within the CDA District, including but not limited
to delinquent regular County real property taxes on the real property within the CDA
District, which shall remain due and owing, including penalties and interest thereon, until
paid. This Ordinance in no way operates to forgive or abate any past, current, or future
regular County real property taxes on the real property within the CDA District, including
penalties and interest thereon. Furthermore, nothing in this Ordinance shall in anyway
affect the assessment or collection of administrative expenses (not to exceed $10,000
for first year of the Special Assessments and $7,500 per year thereafter) incurred in the
assessment and collection of the Special Assessments, as provided for in paragraph
4(f) of the Memorandum of Understanding dated May 1, 2007.
4. Subsequent Resolution. The Board may make such additional changes or

redeemed; and
WHEREAS, the Sole Landowner has succeeded the Initial Landowner as the owner of all
of the land comprising the District; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Memorandum to provide for the
exoneration of a portion of the unpaid Special Assessments and to amend the Special Assessment
Roll attached to the Memorandum to provide for the payment of the reduced principal amount of the
Series 2007 Bonds, accrued interest thereon, Administrative Expenses, and a portion of the MRC
Future Advances advanced by MRC pursuant to the terms of the DSRF Deficiency Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to
this First Agreement hereby agree as follows:
I. Incorporation of Recitals The foregoing Recitals are incorporated in this First
Amendment and made a part hereof by this reference to the same extent as if set forth herein in full.
All section references shall mean the corresponding section of the Memorandum.
2. Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given such
terms in the Recitals hereto or, if not defined therein, shall have the meanings given such terms in
the Memorandum.
3. Clarification of Application of Collections The parties acknowledge that the CDA
sold the Series 2007 Bonds and advanced the proceeds thereof to the Initial Landowner to construct
the infrastructure, and that the sole source of repayment of the Series 2007 Bonds are the Special
Assessments on the land comprising the District levied by the County at the request of the CDA.
The County and CDA further acknowledge that it was their intent that all monies collected in
respect of the Special Assessments made upon the land comprising the District for the purpose of
enabling the CDA to repay the Series 2007 Bonds were intended to be applied, first, to
administrative expenses of the CDA and County (not to exceed $10,000 in the first bond year and
$7,500 per year in subsequent years, or such other reasonable amount as may be agreed to by the
County, CDA, Initial Landowner and MRC); second, to the payment of principal and interest on the
Series 2007 Bonds and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture for the Series 2007
Bonds until all such amounts are paid current; third, to the repayment of any other obligations
incurred by the CDA in connection with the Series 2007 Bonds (including the repayment of fields
advanced by MRC under its partial guarantee of debt service on the Series 2007 Bonds); and fourth,
the balance, if any, after all sums owing by the CDA to any person have been paid in full, to be
returned to the County. Thus, for example, to the extent that there are excess funds from penalties
and interest, or other assessments, after all sums due and payable under the indenture and by the
CDA have been paid in full, such funds may be paid over to the County.
4. Redaction of Bond Amount and Adjustment of Annual Installments As a result of
the Initial Landowner's default in constructing the infrastructure and the subsequent redemption of a
portion of the Series 2007 Bonds, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Series 2007
#477118 2
011322 -0046
Bonds has been reduced to $5,749,000 and an obligation has been incurred by the CDA to repay
MRC for guaranty advances in the amount of $2,062,053 (the "MRC Advance ")_ The County met
on May 22, 2013, and determined that the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special
Assessments and the Annual Installments (each as described in the Memorandum and the bond
documents) needed to be revised to correspond to the amounts remaining outstanding as described
above. Accordingly, the parties, MRC and the Trustee agreed that the Series 2007 Bonds should be
amended to conform to a term sheet and a revised Rate and Method of Apportionment approved at
the May 22, 2013 meeting. The parties agreed that the Series 2007 Bonds should be reissued on
such terms as soon as practicable and that as of the date thereof and through and including the
reissuance date of the Series 2007 Bonds, no penalties and interest shall be due on the Series 2007
Bonds except for the $2,062,053 described in the term sheet to be used to repay the MRC Advance.
Any and all unpaid Special Assessments assessed in respect of the CDA's obligations on the Series
2007 Bonds were to be deemed void, and no amounts are to be assessed in connection with the
Series 2007 Bonds in excess of the principal and interest coming due thereon and administrative
expenses until the Series 2007 Bonds are reissued, after which assessments shall be made in
accordance with the schedule set forth in the modified Rate and Method of Apportionment and the
modified bond documents.
5. Continuation of Memorandum. Subject to the clarifications set forth in this First
Amendment, the Memorandum remains in full. force and effect in accordance with its terms. In the
event any conflict arises between the Memorandum and the bond documents for the Series 2007
Bonds as reissued, the terms of the bond documents shall control unless otherwise rewired by law.
6. Amendments' The Special Assessment Roll attached as Appendix A -1 to the Rate
and Method of Apportionment attached to the Memorandum as Exhibit A is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the Special Assessment Roll attached to this First Amendment as
Schedule 1 (the "Revised Special Assessment Roll ").
7. Ratification of Memorandum Except as set forth in this First Amendment, all the
terms and conditions contained in the Memorandum are hereby ratified and shall remain in full
force and effect. In the event that any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this First
Amendment shall conflict with any of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Memorandum,
then, and in such event, the terms, conditions and provisions of this First Amendment shall prevail
and be controlling. Hereafter, all references to the Memorandum shall mean the Memorandum as
amended by this First Amendment.
8. Effective Date of First Amendment The effective date of this First Amendment
shall be May 22, 2013.
9. Counte arts. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, when taken together,
shall be deemed to be a single instrument.
10. AMlicable Law This First Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Candice E. Perkins, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Public Hearing— Private Streets in the R5 Zoning District
DATE: June 24, 2014
Staff has received a second request to allow the use of private streets for all types of developments in the
R5 (Residential Recreational Community) Zoning District. Currently, the use of private streets in the R5
District is only permitted within age- restricted communities and only if approved by the Board of
Supervisors. The age- restricted private street allowance was added into the R5 Zoning District in 2000,
along with a number of other revisions that were requested by Dogwood Development Group (prior
owner of the Shenandoah Development (Wheatlands)). The changes in 2000 were approved to allow
increased flexibility and alternative designs in the R5 District while recognizing that an age- restricted
development would have a reduced impact on capital facilities. Prior to the adoption of the age- restricted
private street allowance, the use of public streets was mandatory for all new developments in the R5
District.
If approved, this amendment would apply to all land zoned R5 (Residential Recreational Community)
Zoning District. The developments that currently have this zoning are Shenandoah, Lake Holiday,
Shawneeland, Mountain Falls Park, and Autumn Hills Estates. While these developments currently utilize
private streets, it should be noted there are undeveloped (large lot) sections within some of these
developments zoned R5 that could potentially utilize the waiver request. New Master Development Plans
and approval of a private street waiver would be required.
History — First Request
A previous request for private streets was discussed by the DRRC in October 2012; at that time the DRRC
endorsed the proposed text amendment. The Planning Commission, Public Works Committee, the
Transportation Committee, and the Board of Supervisors also discussed this item in 2012 and 2013.
Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors declined to send the requested amendment forward for public
hearing. The applicant has since requested another review of the text amendment and the discussion was
moved forward by the Board of Supervisors.
2014 Transportation Committee Discussions
The Transportation Committee discussed this proposed change at their February 2014 meeting and
forwarded it to the DRRC for comment. The DRRC discussed the requested amendment at their March
2014 meeting; the minutes from the DRRC meeting are attached. The DRRC expressed concern about
maintenance of the private streets and the potential for HOA's to go defunct and subsequently request

the County to take over the streets. The Transportation Committee discussed the item again at their April
2014 meeting and forwarded the amendment to the Board of Supervisors with no action.
May 7, 2014 Planning Commission Discussion
This item was discussed by the Planning Commission at their meeting on May 7, 2014. Commissioners
expressed the need for specificity in the language of not just the R5 ordinance, but the broader ordinance,
if private roads are allowed in non - age- restricted communities, in which it is clearly detailed that private
streets need to be designed and constructed in accordance with all VDOT standards, particularly including
the structural section, material quality, drainage, vertical and horizontal sections, etc., and be verified by
an independent engineer. In addition, the deed should specifically state the streets meet VDOT standards
and the maintenance and improvements of drainage systems and snow removal is the responsibility of the
HOA. Furthermore, a mechanism should be included whereby these responsibilities are recognized by the
buyer of the lot and they will be responsible for all costs associated with maintenance and snow removal.
Commissioners wanted the private roads to be constructed to a high quality that would last over time and
avoid roads constructed to sub - quality standards. Their rational was that if the road was constructed to a
high standard, it would protect those people buying into the private road community and the remaining
county residents, in the event the HOA would become defunct and VDOT needed to take over the roads.
Conversely, it was pointed out that constructing a road to VDOT standards today would not guarantee it
would be accepted into the State's system in future years because the State's criteria frequently changes.
Three residents of the Lake Frederick community came forward to address the Commission and noted the
issue centers around Phase 2 of Lake Frederick, which is a blend of age- restricted and non -age restricted
communities. These residents spoke about incidences relating to non - residents staying overnight at the
lake area and /or driving through the residential areas looking for the lake, and drug situations. This was
why the gated concept was important to many of the residents; however, a gate cannot be placed across a
public road. It was also believed that specific criteria were needed so the homeowners know what to
expect in order to meet their financial obligations regarding the maintenance of the roads, along with the
agreement between the developer and the VDGIF, the promised community center, and other amenities
not yet constructed, once the developer pulls out. It was noted the newly developed area, with non -age-
restricted homes, may have 750 to 1,000 residences, which will generate a significant contribution to the
HOA.
The Developer's representative explained the original community was approved as a gated community
with private roads and the intent is to continue development as a gated community, but this can't be
accomplished without private roads. He stated the existing private streets are built to a very exacting
standard that meets or exceeds the standard for depth of pavement and the roads also satisfy all drainage
requirements. The message the developer received was the private streets need to be constructed so
they last and this is what they are doing. In addition, detail was added to the proposed ordinance as a
result of various committee meetings and included requirements for depth of pavement and verification
by a certified Virginia engineer. Also included is a requirement for capital reserve studies on a bi- annual
basis to guarantee reserve funds for future road maintenance. He pointed out, however, the developer
has an issue with the horizontal aspect of road construction because he intentionally does not want to
construct massive roads enabling high -speed travel; the intent is to slow down traffic. It was also noted
the majority of residents want to keep their community gated, not just on one side of the lake, but on
both sides. The developer is in favor of including specific standards to ensure private roads are

constructed to last, but does not want to build VDOT roads. (Note: Commissioners Mohn, Dunlap, and
Unger were absent from the meeting.)
May 28, 2014 Board of Supervisors Discussion
This item was discussed by the Board of Supervisors at their meeting on May 28, 2014. Four citizens spoke
at the beginning of the meeting requesting the item be sent forward for public hearing. The Board of
Supervisors expressed concern with the long term maintenance of the streets and concern that streets
may be too narrow for on- street parking. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors sent the item forward for
public hearing.
June 18, 2014 Planning Commission Public Hearing Summary & Action
Seven residents of Lake Frederick came forward to speak during the public hearing, plus one email
communication was received for the record. All of the residents supported private roads throughout the
Lake Frederick community, for both age- restricted and non - age- restricted sections. They believed it
would eliminate complexities in the governance, management, and maintenance of the streets that a mix
of public and private streets would create. They assured the Commission the HOA and residents
completely understand the financial obligations and reserve requirements for street maintenance. In
addition, the residents believed that private streets throughout the community would provide the security
homeowners expected, as well as a sense of cohesiveness and community among residents.
The developer's representative also spoke in support of the proposed amendment. However, he was
opposed to requiring the private streets to meet the horizontal standards for a public street. He said the
intention was for narrower private streets to decrease vehicular speed and to eliminate the possibility of
roads being accepted into the public system.
Members of the Commission expressed concern with the language in the two options presented within
the agenda, particularly, "...paving designs, based on actual CBR's will be provided to the County for
approval." Commissioners did express support of the amendment only with the following qualifications:
The private roads must meet VDOT standards for the following five items: 1) structural section design; 2)
material composition and quality; 3) construction standards, techniques, and workmanship quality; 4)
drainage and storm water management systems; 5) all the design, testing and materials, and in -place
quality testing and as -built drawings for the road system must be certified by the developer, the builder,
and a registered professional engineer in the State of Virginia, that the roads meet all of VDOT structural
and quality standards, and the plans are submitted to the Frederick County Engineer and the Frederick
County Planning Department. The Commission believed that if the developer was required to meet these
standards, the residents and future home buyers will have roads with quality and durability and will have
only minimal road maintenance costs over the next 20 years. It was noted that if narrower streets were
desired, VDOT has standards for alleyways and narrower streets which the developer could follow. A
motion for approval was made and seconded to include these five specific qualifications within the
ordinance amendment and was unanimously passed. (Note: Commissioner Mohn abstained;
Commissioners Kenney, Triplett, and Dunlap were absent from the meeting.) Staff has received one letter
from a Shenandoah resident since the Planning Commission public hearing, this letter has been attached.

Conclusion
The amendment proposes to allow the use of private streets within all developments in the R5 District,
but would still require Board of Supervisors approval. At the Planning Commission's June 18 meeting,
they recommended the amendment be approved provided that the text be changed to require the private
roads to meet VDOT standards for the following items: 1) structural section design; 2) material
composition and quality; 3) construction standards, techniques, and workmanship quality; 4) drainage and
storm water management systems; 5) all the design, testing and materials, and in -place quality testing and
as -built drawings for the road system must be certified by the developer, the builder, and a registered
professional engineer in the State of Virginia, that the roads meet all of VDOT structural and quality
standards, and the plans are submitted to the Frederick County Engineer and the Frederick County
Planning Department.
The attached document shows the existing ordinance with the proposed changes (with strikethroughs for
text eliminated and bold italic for text added). This proposed amendment is being presented to the
Board of Supervisors as a public hearing item. A decision by the Board of Supervisors on this proposed
Zoning Ordinance text amendment is sought. Please contact me if you have any questions.

REFERENCE: Shenandoah Development (Lake Frederick) request for private streets
Chuck:
Please find enclose copies of the formal request for the above from Lawson and Silek, P.L.C. and
an email that I received from Mr. Charlie Harmon, resident of Lake Frederick expressing his
feeling about private streets in his community. From what I have been able to ascertain so far
approximately 90% of the current residents are in favor of €paving private roads.
I have spoken to Mr. Lawson and the current owner /develori -_f & to listen to their request. On
all occasions I have expressed my desire for them to be able to assure me and the other board
members that MREC and Lansdowne Development have the finances, (reserve fund) and
experience necessary in installing and maintaining private streets that will assure this request
success.
At present one section of this development is already "Gated" and MREC and Lansdowne
Development have expressed their intentions in installing a gated situation for the second
section. I am presenting this information because I have been told that VDOT will not accept
nor maintain roads in a Gated Community. I will rely on the Transportation Committee's
resources determine if this is true.
I would support this request based on receipt of the necessary assurances from MREC and
Lansdowne and the approval from Transportation. If after reviewing the enclosed you need
additional information please let me know.

Our File No. 1211.001
It was very nice meeting with you last week to discuss the new development at
Shenandoah. This is to confirm that the owners, MREC Shenandoah VA, LLC and MREC
Shenandoah Investment, LLC (collectively "MREC "), would like to formally request that the
Board of Supervisors consider a waiver to allow for private streets throughout the entire
Shenandoah community and not just in the age - restricted areas. MREC is committed to
installing private streets that have a depth of pavement that meets or, in many cases, exceeds
VDOT's standards. Its goal is to create a private, gated community that benefits the residents
and also helps to create an exclusive community feel. MREC and Lansdowne Development
Group have had a significant amount of experience installing and maintaining private streets in
other communities and look forward to doing the same at Shenandoah.
For your convenience, I enclose a draft ordinance which we would ask be considered by
the Board of Supervisors and allowed to be advertised for a public hearing.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. After you have considered this request,
please feel free to call with any questions.

Dear John:
This is a follow -up to our telephone conversation earlier today concerning the revised
private streets ordinance. I enclose a redlined and clean version of the revised ordinance, which
adds more language to the meeting or exceeding VDOT depth of pavement road standards and
also spells out a rather unique mechanism to ensure there are sufficient funds being held in
escrow within the HOA to address maintenance issues for the private streets. Lansdowne has
found through its experiences dealing with communities with private streets that it is a good idea
to impose an obligation on the HOA to revisit its capital reserve needs on at least a bi- annual
basis to ensure sufficient funds are being escrowed to address all maintenance and upkeep issues
associated with the roads. Further still, they believe that engaging a certified professional
engineer as part of the installation of private streets will assure that the roads are constructed in a
sufficient manner to keep them in good service and operation. Interestingly, ensuring proper
installation keeps the cost down associated with ongoing maintenance.
It is our thought that if this revised language in the ordinance meets with the approval of
the Transportation Committee and DRRC then this ordinance would be appropriate for
consideration and approval by the Board of Supervisors. If we are able to proceed in this
manner, we will be able to avoid having the matter come back to the Transportation Committee
(in April) after the DRRC meets next Thursday.

Re: Private Streets

Dear John:
In getting ready for Monday's Transportation Committee meeting, I think it is a good
idea to review where we have been. As you know, at the conclusion of Monday's meeting, the
issue of continuing private streets in the Lake Frederick/Shenandoah/Lansdowne community will
have been to the DRRC two times, the Transportation Committee three times, the Public Works
Committee two times, the Planning Commission one time and the Board of Supervisors two
times. I cannot help but point out that it always seemed odd that we needed an ordinance to allow
for private streets in a community where we already have private streets and an ordinance that
enables same. Of course, the existing ordinance has standards built into it such as minimum
depth of road sections, but as we have gone through the process and been asked to make
revisions to the new ordinance, we have done so and added additional engineering and financial
standards to allow for the continuation of private streets in this community. The developer and
owner have done this because the property owners in the community have been adamant that
they want to continue and finish this community with private streets and as a gated community.
Although proceeding in this manner puts an additional cost on the owner and developer,
they have remained constant in their desire to deliver private streets throughout this gated
community. To this point, the only additional response or comment that we have heard from
Committee members has been that there should be a guarantee that there will not be some future
resident to demand that the County or some other public entity take over these streets. As we all
know there are no guarantees in life, but certainly the track record for this community has been

that not only is there not a demand by any resident for public roads, but in fact, the demand has
been just the opposite. Further still, construction that meets or exceeds the existing private street
standards has demonstrated that there are private roads of superior quality in the community.
Again, although we have heard comments about this "guarantee," we have not received
any substantive request from any Committee members as to additional language that ought to be
added to the revised ordinance. Certainly if any member of the Transportation Committee has
such a suggestion, we would be more than willing to entertain it and add it to the text. In any
event, however, it does appear that we are finally at a point where the ordinance to allow the
completion of private streets in the Lake Frederick/Shenandoah/Lansdowne community needs to
go forward to the Board of Supervisors so this community can be finished with the high quality
standards that have already been established.
Thank you for your continued assistance and cooperation. As always, if you have any
questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to Monday's
Transportation Committee meeting and recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.

Dear Candice:
I received your e-mail of yesterday advising that the draft ordinance included in the
Planning Commission's packet was the same as what was attached to my letter of March 21,
2014. I realize this matter has dragged on, but there have been various versions of the ordinance
and the one included in the packet is not the most current version. After sitting through last
night's meeting, I believe it would be helpful to the Planning Commissioners and Board of
Supervisors' members if they have the most current revised ordinance for review. Accordingly, I
enclose both redline and clean versions, which were attached to my letter to John Bishop dated
March 21, 2014, for circulation to the Commission and Board members. Please note this is the
version that was most recently presented to and considered by the DRRC and Transportation
Committee.
Thank you for your anticipated assistance and cooperation.

Our letter of 4/29/2014 to Supervisor Wells, with copy to you, is in the 6/18/2014 Planning Commission agenda package. We
do not plan to speak at the public hearing as (a) all Commissioners have seen our position on the county code change
proposed by Lansdowne Development Group and (b) all Commissioners heard Larry's remarks at your recent meeting.
We still are of the opinion that the county code must be modified to require a developer or a HOA to submit documentation
that clearly shows the community can meet all significant, future financial obligations -- not just setting up a capital reserve
1
fund solely for private streets maintenance and repairs. We hope the Planning Commission will forward such a
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
Our recent discussions with a Lansdowne representative indicates they have hired a consultant to do a forward- looking
analysis of Shenandoah's financial future for several years. That analysis and its results should be required at the time of the
county's consideration of the Lansdowne's permit request.
Finally, we are in complete agreement with the Planning Department's alternative proposal that these private streets are be
built to all current VDOT standards in every respect. We have visited Shawneeland, and though we believe Lansdowne will
build much better streets than at Shawneeland, we would not want private streets built to standards other that complete
VDOT standards.

Private Streets Remarks
Charlie Harmon
My name is Charlie Harmon. I reside at Lake Frederick in Opequon District
(pronounced Oh- PECK -In). 1 want to speak on the private road request for
our Lake Frederick community currently before the County. i am speaking
on behalf of the residents of our community, a number of whom are present
here tonight. [Point to the audience and ask them to identify themselves by
a show of hands.]
Our current residents all bought our homes expecting a private, gated age -
restricted community of some 2,100 residences. The advantages of such a
community were re- enforced to us when, on November 29, 2010, the
County Board of Supervisors held a Community Forum at Lake Frederick
to, among other things, stress the benefits of private streets — including
enabling creative designs such as narrower streets, on- street parking
areas, and enhanced street side landscaping and landscaped central
parks.
However, given recent changes in market conditions, we recognize that
completing the full development of our community will require addressing
the market for both age- restricted and non - restricted homebuyers
The ordinance change and waiver requested by our developer, Lansdowne
Development Group, will enable us to keep the gated community design we
all bought into, and will avoid what could be management and coordination
challenges in a mixed community of private and public streets. Consider,
for example the challenges associated with managing snow removal. With
a mix of public and private streets throughout the community VDOT and our
Private Streets Remarks
Charlie Harmon
private snow removal contractors will have to determine where at various
intersections, one's responsibility ends and the other's begins. Similar
issues may arise on maintenance of signage and streetlights
We fully understand the financial obligations of the HOA for private street
repairs and maintenance and we all bought our properties with full
disclosure of those obligations. We have for several years, under the
guiding hand of an experienced and knowledgeable Budget and Finance
Committee, been building up our long -term reserves in anticipation of those
expenditures. And we continue to work with the developer and builder to
assure that the build out plan for the community will be done in a manner
that will ensure the HOA's ability to fund all its obligations, including the
reserve funding for private street maintenance and repairs.
As evidenced by the turnout you see here tonight, this is a very important
issue to our current community and to the continued growth of our
community in the future. We urge the Commission to send a positive
recommendation on this matter to the Board of Supervisors for their
consideration in Public Hearing at their July 9 1h meeting.
Thank you.
Private Streets Remarks — Planning Commission Meeting, 06 -18 -2014
D. Michael Reyman
Madame Chairman; Commission Members. My name is Michael Reyman
and I reside at Lake Frederick in Opequon District.
While we recognize the County must consider zoning ordinance changes in
the context of both present and potential future development, the specific
request before the Commission has a reality and urgency affecting the
interests of all current and future Lake Frederick residents and I will speak
to those interests tonight.
The County originally approved private streets and gated access for a
community of 2,100 homes at Lake Frederick in 2001, with approval of the
MDP submitted by the then owner of the property. The essential elements
of that plan remain today in number of homes, amenities and the desire of
both developer and residents to develop a gated access community.
What has changed is that the marketplace has spoken. The experience of
the preceding developer demonstrated that completing the community in a
timeframe acceptable to developers and their financers will require
addressing two separate market segments in parallel —the age- restricted
and non - age- restricted homebuyer markets.
Responding to that message, and at its core, the only change Lansdowne
is requesting to long standing County approvals is to enable them to apply
to the County to build private streets at Lake Frederick for these two
classes of homebuyers.
Let me also point out that, at completion, 72% of the homes at Lake
Frederick will be located on private residential streets un existin
Private Streets Remarks — Planning Commission Meeting, 06 -18 -2014
D. Michael Reyman
County approvals - factoring in both the age- restricted neighborhoods and
the town home sections in the non - restricted neighborhoods. The
requested ordinance change will enable Lansdowne to apply for permission
to construct private streets for the remaining 28% and - most importantly -
for the main connector road between the Rte. 522 and Rte. 277 entrances
to the community. This will allow us to retain the gated community design
we all bought into, and will avoid the previously mentioned management
challenges for the HOA dealing with a mix of private and public streets.
Finally, let me address stated concerns about the HOA's ability to fund
private street maintenance. Initial financial studies have indicated that
funding street maintenance reserves -- in a steady state environment at
build -out -- would require approximately 6% of our annual fee budget j ng
the current homeowner annual fee level And we have high confidence this
cost can be absorbed within the current fee level, as more residences will
be available to share other common, fixed costs to the HOA.
Three hundred plus tax paying voters at Lake Frederick overwhelmingly
support Lansdowne's request and we urge the Commission to send a
positive recommendation on this matter to the Board of Supervisors for
their consideration in Public Hearing on July 9th.
Thank you.
• I'm Dr. Richard Sefton and I'm a resident of Lake Frederick in
the Opequon District, and I thank you for the opportunity to
speak to you this evening.
• About 35 years ago, I was the clinical director of the Woodstock
Mental Health Center of the Northwestern Community Services
Board, which was based in Winchester.
I knew back then that this was the region in which I wanted to
live, and my wife and I have been fortunate to be part of this
area for the last 7 years.
I'm also now serving on the Board of Directors of Habitat for
Humanity, Winchester- Frederick County, and I'm chairman of
their Family Services Committee.
• I'd like to re- emphasize a few points made by our earlier
speakers:
1. First, the county approved private streets and gated access for
about 2,100 homes at Lake Frederick as early as the original
MDP approval in 2001.
2. The only change, and all that Lansdowne is requesting, is the
ability to submit an application to the county to provide private
streets for both age- restricted and non - age- restricted homes at
Lake Frederick. If effect, at the highest level, not much else
has changed in the plan since that early MDP.
o It will:
a) still consist of some 2,100 homes
b) total paved street areas will be about the same
c) amenities will be about the same, and in some ways,
even better.
3. Importantly, the HOA and the residents are no strangers to - the
challenges and benefits of private streets. We currently have
about 4.8 miles of private streets, all built to VDOT base
standards. We have a solid grasp on the reserve requirements
necessary for these streets, both from formal cost and reserve
studies and From the considerable prior life experience and
knowledge that many of our residents bring with them.
• Now we all know that the county has had previous negative
experiences that may have you appropriately questioning
our request, but I believe that each situation needs to be
measured and evaluated on its own merits. If we were to
just accept a bad experience as predictive of all future ones,
there are a number of us who might never have gotten
married, or bought a better new car. I for one am glad that I
gave love a second, albeit different, chance, both with my
wife and my automobiles.
• What I'm saying is, please don't equate this corrimunity's
situation with some of those of the past. There are
significant and substantive facts that are clearly different,
and we ask that you look at - the differences, not - the
similarities.
• Therefore, representing the overwhelming majority of the
residents at Lake Frederick, we respectfully urge the
Commission to send a positive recommendation on this
matter to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration in
Public Hearing at their July 9 meeting.
• Thank you.

Comments for Kevin Walek:
Madam Chairman; Commission Members; all: I would like to thank
you for providing us with this opportunity to come before you and
speak this evening regarding the issue of Private streets for the Lake
Frederick Community.
My name is Kevin Walek. I am a retired attorney, having spent the
last 28 years in the financial, regulatory world. Along with my wife,
Margaret, a retired accounting manager, we are residents of Lake
Frederick in the Opequon District (REMINDER: "Oh- PECK -in ").
My wife and I welcome and embrace the diversity that a mixed age-
restricted and non- age- restricted community will bring. And, as has
been underscored by many urban sociologists as early as Jane
Jacobs, and Edward Banfield, we believe, in the long run, it will
enrich our lives and those of others in our community.
We also support the developer's desire to build out such a mixed
community with gated access and private streets.
• As previous speakers have indicated, we believe an integrated private
street development will provide benefits to all homeowners; will
Page 1 of 3
KPW for Meeting of Frederick County Board of Supervisors,
May 28, 2014.
eliminate complexities and avoid challenges in the governance and
day -to -day management of the HOA.
• In a broader demographic and economic perspective, we read with
interest John Martin's reported comments at the recent spring
dinner of the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission. In
brief, Mr. Martin's key points were:
o Aging baby boomers will fuel the area's economy in the short
term but younger "life - style" seekers will become an increasing
percentage of the area's population over the next two or three
decades;
o Boomers are re- defining what it's like to grow old: looking at
the promise of aging, NOT the problems of aging;
o Younger life -style seekers are looking for place first, career
and job second. They want a sense of place and community,
carefree living and sustainability
• That, I submit, is exactly the two classes of homebuyers our mixed
community has been designed to address. And given these broad
demographic trends, I submit that the Lake Frederick development
Page 2 of 3
KPW for Meeting of Frederick County Board of Supervisors,
May 28, 2014.
may well be, if not should be, the model for future planned
communities in Frederick County and the Northern Shenandoah.
• Finally, allowing private streets for such a community will align both
costs and benefits with the residents of the community. In an age
where less and less transportation funding will be coming from the
State, such an alignment is surely a more viable option than relying
on the County's general taxpayers to fund the maintenance and
repairs of public streets
• We respectfully request the Commission to send a positive
recommendation on this matter to the Board of Supervisors for their
consideration in Public Hearing at their July 9th meeting.
• Thank you.

Madame Chairman, Commission Members, my name is Dr.
Carol Delacruz, a homeowner in Shenandoah at Lake Frederick.
• That our community of approximately 2,100 residences was
approved for gated, private streets, was an important part of
our personal buying decision.
• Beginning in 2012, I was a member of the group of nine
homeowners on a Redevelopment Study Group working
with Lansdowne prior to their purchase of the Lake Frederick
property. Although we differed on some details of the new
development plan, we and Lansdowne were in agreement on
two key points:
1. In order to fulfill the promise of a 2,100 home community,
the developer needed to address in - parallel both the age-
restricted and non -age restricted homebuyer markets:
2. Given the geography of the development and existing
developed portion, it was imperative that we have gated,
private streets throughout the entire development to
provide the security existing homeowners expected, as
1
well as a sense of cohesiveness and community among the
age- restricted residents.
We presently have two age restricted sections with private streets,
one is gated, the other, as yet is not. As new age- restricted homes
are built, and as non age- restricted homes are added, it is our hope
and desire that our community will be one of inclusion not
exclusion to maintain that sense of community, particularly within
the age- restricted section. Imagine the impact on this sense of
community, and on community governance, in a situation where
roughly half of the age- restricted community has gated access and
private streets and the other half has no gated access and a mix of
private and public streets. Such a condition would create
disjunction within our community, not to mention the challenges it
would present for HOA governance.
The original developer was granted the requisite ordinance for
private streets throughout our community of 2100 homes. The
only change in our community is that it will now be comprised of
both age- restricted and non age- restricted residents. The roads
2
will be the same. In my opinion, resident age should not influence
or be a determining factor as to whether we are permitted to
continue with private roads throughout our development. To dispel
any misconceptions about us, we are an ACTIVE adult
community, most have two cars, some also have a motorcycle. We
travel, play golf, bicycle, kayak, work, volunteer, and engage in
multiple clubs and activities every day In other words, our daily
lives will not be that much different from our new neighbors, nor
will be the use of our roads.
We urge the Commission to send a positive recommendation on
this matter to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration in
Public Hearing at their July 9 th meeting
Thank you.

Lake Frederick Road Options
As a resident of Phase II (West Lake Frederick), the following options seem open to the County for the
road system in the Lake Frederick development:
1. Private roads completed by the developer and maintained by the HOA throughout the
development, as originally planned and approved.
a. Limit to age restricted homes as originally approved, implemented by denying building
permits to any non -age restricted housing (including town homes), and as provided for
in prior sewage treatment and school capacity planning.
b. Authorize non -age restricted areas within the development providing they do not break
up (insert themselves into or between) the non -age restricted area(s).
c. Authorize non -age restricted areas anywhere the developer chooses, regardless of the
wishes /financial interests of the existing residents or of the HOA covenants.
2. Segment the development into age restricted zones with private roads and non -age restricted
zones with public roads, as previously requested by the residents of Phase II in the attached.
a. Ensure that all age restricted zones are gated, as originally approved, with separate
entrances off 522 and 277 for the non -age restricted zones.
b. Keep the East side of Lake Frederick gated, as currently, but put ungated public roads
through the West side of Lake Frederick.
i. Maintain private side roads in Phase II, causing residents to bear the cost of
maintenance without the benefit of private gating.
ii. Convert the side roads in Phase II to public roads without any maintenance
obligation for the residents of that section.
3. Hold up issuance of non -age restricted building permits until the developer complies with the
County's decision.
Concern has been expressed with the ability of the HOA to maintain the private roads, once completed
by the developer and turned over to the HOA. Resurfacing and repair costs are reasonably predictable,
with resurfacing needed probably some fifteen years after the HOA assumes responsibility. During that
time, a sinking fund would be established and funded out of HOA dues to ensure adequate funding is
available when needed. But even if the HOA were to fail to do this (and there has been precedent for
such failure), then the maintenance costs to the government would be no more that that incurred if the
roads were public from the outset, so where is the downside risk?
My preference, and I believe that of my neighbors in Phase II, would be Option 1.a. However, given
actions by the developer, that now seems unrealistic, so failing that, then Option 1.b, and third would be
Option 2.b.ii.
Respectfully submitted,

Tel (703) 620 -2986
To: Hobie Mitchel, Lansdowne Development Group
From: Chris Barltrop
Dated: 7/28/2013
There are two natural dividing line between age restricted and non -age restricted areas of Lake
Frederick:
A. Lake Frederick Drive.
Age restricted housing in Phase II made sense for Oxbridge and to the purchasers of the
23 homes in Phase II when it was part of a larger, integrated age restricted community. It
does not make sense in the current mixed design. Abutting a public road (with or without
gates) and non -age restricted housing to the North and South, with access to West Lake
Frederick only over a public road, ensures that an age restricted portion of East Lake
Frederick is unlikely to be attractive as an age restricted community, regardless of how
much landscaping Lansdowne provides.
Quite apart from the security issue, having a block of age restricted housing outside of the
main age restricted area presents a series of challenges, the least of which is justifying
continuation of the subsidization of Lake Frederick West's gating, street lighting and
maintenance of the long entrance drive, when the homeowner fees are the same but Phase
II residents benefits from none of those features, all of which are common in other age
restricted communities. Assuring equality of costs and benefits seems problematic at
best.
The proposals made so far by Lansdowne are purely cosmetic and will do nothing to
make the currently planned age restricted area of East Lake Frederick look like a true age
restricted community. So what would be the impact on Shea Homes' ability to succeed in
selling age restricted homes here? And how saleable are our existing homes, when
buyers would be limited by age restrictions yet have the alternative of buying in the truly
age restricted West Lake Frederick?
East Lake Frederick residents have some $10 million invested in their homes, so more
than Lansdowne paid. Does Lansdowne really want to add age restricted homes into an
area where the existing residents are uncomfortable with how this is developing? Word
of mouth is a powerful sales tool, and could existing residents in good conscience
encourage retirees to move into East Lake Frederick as currently presented by
Lansdowne? This has an impact on the salability of new homes as age restricted
residences — bad for Shea Homes and further impairing the value of existing homes.
B. The natural draw /stream beyond Atlantis Lane, so one street beyond the current
Lansdowne master plan of Metalmark Lane.
Given that age restricted housing in East Lake Frederick already exists, and option A
above is unlikely to be acceptable to present or future age restricted residents of East
Lake Frederick, then ensuring an integrated age restricted community would logically
require the following:
1. The isthmus between us and the public landing area, currently scheduled by
Lansdowne for non -age restricted town homes, should be converted back to the
original design: age restricted condos or equivalent accessible housing. This would:
a) provide a migration option for residents who lose a spouse, no longer need a
house, but want to stay with friends — by providing a path for staying in the
community, this would improve the marketability of age restricted homes in both
East and West Lake Frederick; and
b) eliminate a non -age restricted wedge between the East and the West side of the
lake that would otherwise divide the community, both physically and
psychologically.
c) entice 55+ couples or singles who do not wish a full house to move into our
community.
2. The age restricted boundary of East Lake Frederick should be moved North to the
natural draw, so beyond Atlantis Lane, one street beyond Lansdowne's current master
plan boundary of between Metalmark Lane and Atlantis Lane. This would improve
security but also marginally improve the number of age restricted residents, spreading
the cost of maintaining the centers over a larger base.
3. Access to the non -age restricted area should be from 277 (and from 522 if Lansdowne
can arrange that) with no through road through the age restricted area of East Lake
Frederick, with the exception of a gate level with that draw to allow access for
emergency vehicles.
4. Rachel Carson should be left private up to that draw, with resident access gates
installed near the traffic circle, where originally designed.
This would create two clearly separate communities, one an integrated age restricted and
gated community, the other an entirely separate non -age restricted community with its
own HOA, facilities and access. Given the demographics and geography, Lansdowne
could have been expected to reach the same conclusion.
Nothing short of this option B will be sufficient to make the age restricted area of East
Lake Frederick truly marketable and livable as an age restricted community.
Each of these issues has been raised individually in one or more of the meetings with
Lansdowne, both through the working group and in community meetings with Lansdowne. Part
of the challenge we are facing is that Lansdowne has not previously been involved with an age
restricted community (according to their own statement to us during one of the early meetings),
so apparently does not have an inherent feel for what makes sense for that type of development.
Phase II residents did our own research before settling here, so do have a reasonable
understanding of what makes an age restricted community - this would seem market research
that Lansdowne should take seriously. In addition, Lansdowne's primary point of contact has
been through the ELC, none of whose members reside in Phase II, so none have any "skin in the
game" on residents' investments in Phase 11.
It seems fair to say that we all wish Lansdowne and Shea to succeed - the question is how best to
achieve that success. And the currently proposed option A, as offered by Lansdowne, does not
seem to lay a solid base for such success.

909 TUTELO LANE, LAKE FREDERICK, VA 22630
April 29, 2014
Mr. Robert W. Wells
Frederick County Supervisor, Opequon Magisterial District
5114 Laura Drive
Stephens City, VA 22655
Dear Mr. Wells:
This letter provides our views and concerns about Lansdowne Development Group (LDG) proposals
dealing with "Private Streets in the R5 Zoning District."
We agree with the spirit of LDG's proposal that there should be no distinction between age restricted
and non -age restricted developments when evaluating requests for private streets. We also agree with
DRRC and Transportation Committee concerns about how to determine if an HOA can adequately
finance maintenance of private streets once they are built.
In determining whether to modify county code to remove age restricted versus non -age restricted
distinctions and to address committee concerns about HOA fiscal capabilities, we believe county
officials must fully evaluate answers to two critical questions:
1. Is there a logical rationale for maintaining the distinction between age restricted and non -age
restricted developments?
2. What definitive set of criteria should be a key foundation in evaluating whether to approve or
deny a request for private streets in any R5 zoning district?
We have attended county meetings where the private streets issue has been discussed. At no time
have we heard a logical justification for continuing the age restricted and non -age restricted community
distinction. if a Board of Supervisors' eventual decision is to maintain that distinction, supporting logic
should be provided to the public so rationale for the county code is understood.
As to establishing definitive criteria to underpin a county decision for permitting or denying private
streets, we propose that, criteria be an integral part of the county code for at least two reasons.
1. It provides a developer forehand knowledge of necessary conditions, but not all sufficient
conditions, that must be attained for county consideration of a request.
2. It lets current and future community homeowners know what factors are important to the Board
of Supervisors to protect homeowners' interests during the request evaluation.
To satisfy concerns as to whether a HOA can finance private street maintenance, LDG's county code §
165 - 502.05 proposal is for the developer (i.e., Board of Directors in the instance of Shenandoah) to
establish a capital reserve fund, where a portion of homeowners' HOA dues will be set aside for the
reserve fund. In our opinion, details of how that capital reserve is established and sustained over the
long -term should be among the criteria set mentioned earlier. You should note whether private streets
maintenance is the only significant long -term liability faced by a HOA. If the Board Judges a HOA's
financial viability by simply examining its finances for private streets without examining the HOA's
capability to adequately handle all its significant long -term liabilities, the Board will be short - changing
responsibility to itself and to the community's homeowners.
May 0714 09;54a June Wilmot 540- 678 -0278
p.3
Relevant to Shenandoah homeowners are three, potentially- significant long -term liabilities as yet
undefined or quantified to current homeowners either in terms of total annual liability or impact on
monthly HOA dues: These liabilities are:
1. Potential costs for repair and repaving of X number of miles private streets and parking lots
along with associated accessories such as curbing, stormwater drains and piping, signage, etc.
2. Potential cost for the operation and maintenance of a Fitness Center and a 32,000 square foot
Community Center complex with "resort- like" amenities such as tennis courts and other outdoor
recreation facilities, amphitheater, trail to lake, etc.
3. Potential cost for operation and maintenance of facilities and property on Virginia Department of
Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) -owned lands around the lake in accordance of yet -to -be
negotiated terms under a July 2001 20 -year Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by
VDGIF and a previous developer of the Shenandoah community.
We believe Liability #3 could be very significant as, among other things, page 11 of the MOA says "The
Department [i.e.,VDGIF] will allow the Company [i.e., the developer] to transfer the Company's rights
and obligations to the Homeowners Association provided the Department determines that the
Homeowners Association has the capability to carry out the provisions of the Company's maintenance
rights and obiigations." What sort of criteria set will VDGIF employ in making such a determination; the
same as the county would use for a private roads request decision? Those maintenance obligations
could cover maintenance of facilities now existing or to be constructed by the developer, including boat
landing and access sites, public parking areas, stormwater and sediment control features, lakeside and
wetlands trails, boardwalks, foot bridges, fishing and courtesy piers, restrooms, a concession facility,
and the access road as well as mowing grass at public access points and collectingiremoving trash,
garbage and debris, We also note that recent LDG site plans filed with the county show the lakeside
trail system as a path 4 feet wide and mulched to 4 inches deep. The final terms of a Maintenance
Agreement, called for by the MOA, have not yet been defined but could be a large liability on
Shenandoah homeowners.
While as was stated at yesterday's Transportation Committee meeting, Shenandoah HOA can handle
private streets maintenance, it is not yet clear to us that the HOA can handle all of the previously
mentioned long -term liabilities without a significant increase in monthly HOA dues. How can the Board
make any reasonable judgment about the financial viability without fact -based assurance that the HOA
can handle all significant liabilities? Of further concern to us is whether LDG and builders will fully
disclose those liabilities to potential buyers, and, if so, will there be a suppression of home sales so
fewer homeowners than projected are left to pay the bills when developer supplemental funding is no
longer available?
Also, a petition signed by 90% of Shenandoah homeowners in favor of private roads was mentioned at
yesterday's meeting, We signed that petition before we were aware of the extent of the VDGIF -
Developer MOA details as that document was never provided to us. Upon reflecting about the three
potential long -term liabilities, we withdraw our support of private roads in Shenandoah until we are fully
informed of the HOA liability details and impacts.
Sincerely,
Ill �

DRRC Meeting — 03/27/2014
Members present: Greg Unger, Tim Stowe, Gary Oates, June Wilmot, Jay Banks
Absent: Larry Ambrogi, Kevin Kenney, Eric Lowman, Dwight Shenk, Whit Wagner, Roger Thomas
Staff: Candice Perkins
Applicants: Rick Lanham, Josh Hummer - Attorney
Item 1: Private Streets in the R5 Zoning District. Discussion on revisions to the Frederick County Zoning
Ordinance to remove the requirement that R -5 communities must be "age restricted communities" to
qualify for private streets.
The Applicant's Attorney summarized the Transportation Committee meeting. The TC wanted the roads
built to state standards and cbr's to be provided to the county. They also wanted to have the PE
requirement to monitor the instillation and certify the construction. Mr. Unger asked about the
construction and the PE certification. The applicant stated that the same standards would apply to
them; paving design would be provided to the county and bonded. They would be inspected and then
fixed at the end and off bond.
The committee was concerned because private streets don't have the same requirements as the public
streets. Private streets go bad eventually; the committee questioned how this could be avoided. The
applicant stated that the ordinance includes a provision for a reserve fund and a reserve balance
analysis to make sure there are adequate funds for repairs. He further stated that Shenandoah is a large
community and the residents are asking for private streets. Every two years a capital reserve study is
completed that ensures there are adequate funds for repairs.
Mr. Unger expressed concern about busses not being able to go into the community. Ms. Wilmot
wanted to know if this community would draw more residents with or without kids. The applicant stated
that he believes that it will draw fewer children, but can't be sure. The DRRC also had questions about
liability for accidents on the private streets.
The committee questioned how the reserve is started? The Applicant stated that it is created at day one
and as more improvements get underway more gets added to the fund.
The committee expressed concern about the guarantee that the HOA would never fold and then the
residents come back to the county for help. The applicant stated that there is no way to provide a
complete guarantee but they are trying to put ordinances in place to help that from happening. The
applicant further stated that Shenandoah is proposed to be a nice development and the residents are
going to want to keep it up but how do you make sure the maintenance is kept up. If the HOA doesn't
do the reserve study then the county would have to enforce the ordinance and make them do it.
Item 2: (Other) Setbacks for Multifamily residential buildings
The committee expressed concern with the proposal to reduce the front setback from 35 feet to 15 feet.
They felt that it seemed to close to a public street.
1
TND or high density developments should have commercial elements that include eating establishments
which would be between the street and the building and 15 feet seems close. The committee expressed
comfort with reducing the setback from 35 feet to 20 feet because it would provide more distance to
the public road.
The committee also stated the possibility of going off the speed limit. Roads with a 25 mph should be 20
feet and anything overt that should be 35 feet.

** *Items Requiring Action ***
1. Welcoming Signage
One of the recommendations of the recent business friendly committee work was to
recommend that welcoming signage be placed at key entrances to Frederick County.
For signage along primary routes such as Route 522, Route 50, or Route 11, the process is
fairly simple. The County would need to design the signage and place it in accordance with
VDOT standards and practices and with a VDOT permit, Attached please find the VDOT
guidelines as well as a memorandum of support from Mr. Riley which includes example
signage.
107 North lent Street. Suite ZUZ ■ Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5900
For signage along I -81, the process is somewhat more complicated. VDOT does not allow
location of such signage within the limited access right -of -way so alternative methods must
be evaluated. To utilize an existing billboard, the cost would be approximately $600 per
month in addition to what the cost would be to create and install the signage itself. Staff
would recommend that the agency doing the signage cooperate with property owners
neighboring the 1 -81 right -of -way to purchase or occupy enough land to place and maintain
a sign. This can be accomplished with a conditional use permit and would allow for greater
variability and likely a more attractive signage design. Actual cost of this option would be
highly variable depending upon agreements reached with property owners and final signage
design.
In addition to this material staff and VDOT noted that signage cannot be placed in the
median.
Motion was made by Mr. Racey and Seconded by Mr. Fisher to recommend that the Board
direct the EDA to proceed with signage on the primary routes and to further investigate the
options (rented billboard vs. county owned sign) and to include consideration of the water
tower. Motion passed unanimously.
** *Items Not Requiring Action * **
2. Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road Plan (appearing as separate agenda item)
The Interstate and Primary Plans are unchanged while the Secondary flan has been updated
to reflect projects that have been or are in the process of being completed on the scheduled
hardsurfacing list as well as add new projects to the unscheduled list for hardsurfacing.
Additional funding is not available that would allow any projects to be promoted from the
unscheduled to the scheduled list.
Motion to recommend approval was made by Mr. Racey and seconded by Mr. Fisher.
3. Intersection of Tasker Road and Crosskeys Blvd.
Staff has received a request from Mrs. Jorie Martin who serves as the property manager for
the Musket Ridge subdivision. The residents of Musket Ridge have requested that a left
turn lane be installed from Tasker Road onto Crosskeys Boulevard. Staff has attached
graphics of the intersection for reference. Staff contacted Captain Heflin of the Sheriff's
office and he indicated that there are regular issues caused in this location by the lack of a
turn lane and that the installation would be a positive improvement. Accident data has also
been requested from VDOT.
Staff would recommend that the Committee request an evaluation from VDOT's traffic
engineering division that analyze the issue, develop a cost estimate for the improvement,
and evaluate the competitiveness of the project for a safety grant.
The committee directed staff to continue on the course that they had recommended.
4. Private Streets in the R5 Zoning District (appearing under separate agenda item)
Staff provided the minutes of the DRRC as well as a letter from Mr. Lawson and noted that
no other new materials had been received. Staff further noted that the concerns raised by
DRRC were very similar to those raised at Transportation.
Supervisor Wells, several residents of the Shenandoah Development, and the applicant were
present and requested that even if the Transportation Committee did not have a
recommendation that they forward this item to the Board of Supervisors without one.
Motion by Mr. Racey and seconded by Mr. Fisher to forward the request to the Board
without a transportation committee recommendation.
5. 6 Year Improvement Program Public Hearing
Staff noted to the Committee that on April 29, 2014 the Commonwealth Transportation
Board would be holding a public hearing on the Draft 6 Year Improvement Program. Staff
outlined concerns with the draft which had been previously covered with Mr. Shickle and
Mr. Riley. The committee concurred with the concerns and the resulting comments that
were made are below.
Frederick County would like to note our appreciation of the expansion of the revenue sharing
program and note our success in that area. I would particularly like to emphasize how Frederick
County's use of the public private partnership within the scope of the revenue sharing program has
been very successful.
Noted the positive progress on exit 310 and Route 277.
Regarding project funding we would like to note that we waited a long time for significant funding
of those projects and that pattern of funding reminds us in Frederick County how important it is
that the next significant spending item is carefully chosen.
In the draft plan there is 9M on the exit 313 interchange. $3 -3.5M is for the interchange study.
Remainder seems to be seed money for the next project.
If that seed money is for the redecking then we are fully supportive of that project which is much
needed for the safety of the traveling public.
Frederick County does not believe that this is the best project to be the next major project in our
However, if something more is envisioned by VDOT I would caution them and the CTB that
region. I would note that extending Route 37 from exit 310 to Route 522 would be a much more
regionally significant project. This facility will offer much needed relief to exit 307, exit 313, and
offer significantly improved access to vehicles accessing the Virginia Inland Port. Port expansion
has been a key planning item in Virginia for some time now and cannot afford to be overlooked
here.
As I noted earlier, major projects do not often come to our part of the state. HB 2313 certainly
helps that and gives us cause to be optimistic. However it remains critical that when major projects
are up for funding that they are very carefully chosen and that local planning and priorities are
considered and local officials are involved.

** *Items Not Requiring Action * **
1. Shenandoah Private Streets
Staff provided an updated request from the Shenandoah Development regarding the use of
private streets in the non age - restricted portion of the development. The committee has
requested that the item return with feedback from the Development Review and Regulation
Committee as well as a mote complete description of how the development would provide
financial security for the ongoing maintenance of the private streets.
2. Cougill Road Paving
Staff reviewed a citizen's request to advance Cougill Road for paving ahead of roadways
that have scored higher on the County's unpaved road ranking system. Key reasons given
by the resident were significant tourism traffic, particularly with the upcoming amuversary
of the Battle of Cedar Creek as well as the general conditions of the roadway. The
committee determined that not enough information was forthcoming to justify over ruling
the adopted ranking system.
3. Getting Private Roadways Adopted for State Maintenance
VDOT staff gave a brief overview of the process involved in adopting a private roadway
into the state system. Key points include providing an unencumbered right of way and
bringing the roadway up to current state standards. Specific examples of expected costs
were given for Arklow Road, for which recent inquiries have been received.
4. Devolution
VDOT staff was on hand to give an overview of their devolution program. This is the
program by which localities take over ownership and maintenance responsibility of their
roadways with funding from the State. Since the advent of the devolution program several
communities have investigated it extensively, most notably Fairfax, and found that the
financial benefit is not present. They actually found that it would cost them more to do the
job than it does VDOT and that state funding would not cover the obligation. Also worth
noting is that since the advent of the devolution program, no localities have entered the
program. To date.. the only Counties that maintain their own roadways are Arlington and
Henrico, both of whom did not surrender their roadways when the Byrd act was passed.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Tim Donovan, Opequon District and resident of Lake Frederick, appeared before the
Board to urge the approval of the proposed R -5 text amendment. He said it is important that it be
approved so the development can continue to grow. He said the proposal was a win/win. He
concluded by saying he would provide copies of a petition signed by the residents urging support
of the proposed amendment.
Ty Lawson, attorney with Lawson & Silek, appeared before the Board on behalf of the
i
Lansdowne Development Group. He noted the existing Lake Frederick community was
approved for private streets; however, the developer would like to continue developing this
property and acid non -age restricted lots. He noted 221 residents signed the petition in favor of
the text amendment and waiver. IIe noted the text amendment provides tougher standards than
the current ordinance. He went on to say the developer wants gated private streets for the
community. He concluded by saying the applicant would like to have the text amendment and
waiver request heard at the same time so the Board could see exactly what the proposal would
I .
allow.
Hobie Mitchell, real estate developer and former member of the Commonwealth
Transportation Board, expressed his excitement about the potential to develop the rest of the
Lakc Frederick community. He noted the developer planned to get the community active right
away and they had no problem with the new standards proposed. He expressed some concern

about design speeds. He concluded by asking the Board to send the text amendment forward and
to consider the amendment and waiver request at the same time.

if approved by the Board of Supervisors. She went on to say the proposed amendment has the
potential to modify communities previously approved (not proffered) as age- restricted and could

MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Candice E. Perkins, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Public Hearing- Setback Requirements for Multifamily Residential Buildings
DATE: June 24, 2014
Changes to the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District were approved by the Board of
Supervisors in January of 2013. One change to the ordinance was the addition of a new housing
type called "multifamily residential buildings." This multifamily housing type allows for high
density (up to 20 units per acre) in areas designated by the Comprehensive Plan as
neighborhood villages, urban centers or other areas planned for high- density residential. During
the discussion and public hearing process, a high- density residential streetscape section
schematic was provided of how this housing type could be developed. The schematic depicted a
multifamily building with a front setback of 12 -20 feet. The text adopted for multifamily
residential buildings requires a 35 -foot front setback which is contrary to what was shown
during the initial discussions. An applicant is now trying to implement this housing type and
they have requested the setback be re- evaluated to reduce the 35- foot front setback to 15 feet.
The DRRC reviewed this proposed change at their March 2014 meeting. The DRRC initially
discussed a change to reduce the setback from 35 feet to 15 feet, but felt that 15 feet was too
close to a public street. The committee expressed comfort with reducing the setback from 35
feet to 20 feet because it would provide a comfortable distance to the public road while still
allowing the buildings to be closer to the road, which is common in high density and TND
developments. The 20 -foot setback would fit the maximum shown in the schematic.
This item was discussed by the Planning Commission at their May 7, 2014 meeting. A comment
was made that the proposed revision should specifically state if the setback was measured from
the centerline or right -of -way and whether the resulting structure might be too close to a
sidewalk. Staff noted the 20 feet would be measured from the edge of the right -of -way. Staff
pointed out this housing type is only permitted within areas planned for high- density residential
development and is not allowed everywhere. (Note: Commissioners Mohn, Dunlap, and Unger
were absent from the meeting.) The Board of Supervisors Discussed this item at their May 28,
2014 meeting; the Board discussed where this reduced setback would be used and whether
keeping the 35' setback would encourage parking in front of the structure (which was not
desirable). Ultimately the Board of Supervisors sent the item forward for public hearing. The

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Department of Transportation Plan approved.
Frederick County Public Works: Plan approved.
Frederick County Inspections: Comments shall be made at site plan /subdivision site submittal.
Frederick County Parks and Recreation: The applicant will need to submit details on the required
recreational units during the site development phase.
Frederick County Fire & Rescue: Plan approved.
Frederick County Fire Marshall: Plan approved.
Frederick County Health Department: Health Department has no objection. Public water and sewer
required.
Frederick County Sanitation Authority: Per your request, a review of the proposed master plan has
been performed. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority offers comments limited to the anticipated
impact/effect upon the Authority's public water and sanitary sewer system and the demands thereon.
The parcel is in the water and sanitary sewer area served by the Authority. Based on the location both
water service and sanitary sewer service is available. Sanitary sewer treatment capacity at the waste
water treatment plant is also presently available. Sanitary sewer conveyance capacity and layout will be
contingent on the applicant performing a technical analysis of the existing sanitary sewer system within
the area to be served and the ability of the existing conveyance system to accept additional load.
Likewise, water distribution capacity will require the applicant to perform a technical analysis of the
existing system within the area to be served to determine available capacity. Both water and sanitary
sewer facilities are located within a reasonable distance from this site.
Water and sanitary sewers are to be constructed in accordance with the FCSA standards specifications.
Dedicated easements will be required and based on the layout, vehicular access will need to be
incorporated into the final design. All easements should be free from any encumbrance including
permanent structures (fences, signs, etc.) and landscaping (trees, shrubs, etc.).
Please be aware, the Authority does not review or comment upon proffers and /or conditions proposed or
submitted by the applicants in support of or in conjunction with this application, nor does the Authority
assume or undertake any responsibility to review or comment upon any amended proffers and /or
conditions which the applicant may hereafter provide to Frederick County.
Frederick County Public Schools: It is noted the public streets will be phased with the development.
Our buses can use the roundabouts to turn around at the ends of phases 1 and 2. We will need a cul -de-
sac or similar feature to turn around at the end of Phase 3. Roadway features that do not require backing
are preferred over features such as hammer heads that do require backing.

Planning & Zoning:
A) Master Development Plan Requirement
A master development plan is required prior to development of this property. Before a master
development plan can be approved, it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, Board of
Supervisors, and all relevant review agencies. Approval may only be granted if the master
development plan conforms to all requirements of the Frederick County Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances. The purpose of the master development plan is to promote orderly and planned
development of property within Frederick County that suits the characteristics of the land, is
harmonious with adjoining property and is in the best interest of the general public.
B) Site History
The original Frederick County zoning map (U_S.G.S. Winchester, VA Quadrangle) identifies the
subject property as being zoned A -1 (Agricultural General). The County's agricultural zoning
districts were combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an amendment
to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The corresponding zoning map
resulted in the re- mapping of this portion of the subject property and all other A -1 and A -2
rezoned land to the RA District. On December 11, 2013 the Board of Supervisors approved
Rezoning 903 -13 of Madison Village which rezoned the property to RP (Residential
Performance) and B2 (Business General) with proffers.
C) Site Suitability & Project Scope
Comprehensive Policy Plan:
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's
guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key
components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the
living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of policies used to
plan for the future physical development of Frederick County.
Land Use Compatibility:
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan and the Senseny /Eastern Frederick Urban Areas Plan (Appendix
I) provide guidance on the future development of the property. The property is located in the
UDA (Urban Development Area) and the SWSA (Sewer and Water Service Area). The 2030
Comprehensive Plan identifies the general area surrounding this property with a high density
residential land use designation.
Site Access and Transportation:
The Madison Village development will have one signalized entrance on Route 522. It should be
noted that the location on the MDP has been shifted south due to entrance spacing requirements.
The modified entrance is still in general conformance with the proffered Generalized
Development Plan from the rezoning. The development includes the following improvements:
installation of a traffic signal at the development entrance, right and left turn lanes on Route 522,
dual eastbound left turn lanes from the development entrance, and two roundabouts internal to
the project. The site will also be providing interparcel connections to the adjacent B2 zoned
properties as proffered, as well as a connection into the Russell 150 property.

PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY FOR THE 6/18/14 MEETING
A Commission member inquired if arrangements had been made to provide access for the adjoining
landowner.
Another question concerned where Phase 1 of the entrance road would begin and end since the
signalized entrance was moved slightly south; it was noted the public school system had requested a
school bus turn- around area. Staff replied the adjoining landowner has been provided with an inter -
parcel access in two locations, which was required by the proffer.
The project's representative pointed out the location where Phase 1 will end; he said they will be
constructing the intersection at Route 522, the entrance to the first round - about, and then north to the
northern property, meeting the approved MDP for Russell 150. They will then build to the south to the
first intersection, which would allow them to develop a number of townhomes and part of the multi-
family. He added that a temporary cul -de -sac will be provided in every phase for school bus turn-
around.
No other questions or issues were raised by the Planning Commission. No action was needed by the
Commission.
(Note: Commissioner Oates abstained from discussion; Commissioners Triplett, Dunlap, and Kenney
were absent from the meeting.)
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 07/09/2014 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING:
The Master Development Plan for Madison Village depicts appropriate land uses and appears to be
consistent with the requirements of Article VIII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning Ordinance,

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Department of Transportation The Master Development Plan for this property appears to
have a measurable impact on Route 11, the VDOT facility which would provide access to the property.
VDOT finds the MDP acceptable. Once approved by Frederick County, please provide a signed PDF of
the plan. Before making any final comments, this office will require a complete set of site plans,
drainage calculations and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, Seventh Edition for
review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right -of -way needs, including right -of -way
dedications, traffic signalization, and off -site roadway improvements and drainage. Prior to construction
on the State's right -of -way the developer will need to apply to this office for issuance of appropriate
permits to cover said work.
Frederick County Fire Marshal Plan approved.
Frederick County Fire & Rescue: Plan approved.
Frederick County Public Works: No comment at this time.
Frederick County Inspections: No comments required at this time. The department will comment at
the time of the site plan.
Frederick County Sanitation Authority: Per your request, a review of the proposed master plan has
been performed. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority offers comments limited to the anticipated
impact/effect upon the Authority's public water and sanitary sewer system and the demands thereon.
The parcel is in the water and sanitary sewer area served by the Authority. Based on the location both
water service and sanitary sewer service is available. Sanitary sewer treatment capacity at the waste
water treatment plant is also presently available. Sanitary sewer conveyance capacity and layout will be
contingent on the applicant performing a technical analysis of the existing sanitary sewer system within
the area to be served and the ability of the existing conveyance system to accept additional load.
Likewise, water distribution capacity will require the applicant to perform a technical analysis of the
existing system within the area to be served to determine available capacity. Both water and sanitary
sewer facilities are located within a reasonable distance from this site.
Please be aware that the Authority does not review or comment upon proffers and/or conditions
proposed or submitted by the applicants in support of or in conjunction with this application, nor does
the Authority assume or undertake any responsibility to review or comment upon any amended proffers
and /or conditions which the Applicant may hereafter provide to Frederick County.
Planning & Zoning:
A) Master Development Plan Requirement
A master development plan is required prior to development of this property. Before a master
development plan can be approved, it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, Board of
Supervisors and all relevant review agencies. Approval may only be granted if the master
development plan conforms to all requirements of the Frederick County Zoning and Subdivision
MDP #04 -14 Clearbrook Business Center
June 24, 2014
Page 3
Ordinances. The purpose of the master development plan is to promote orderly and planned
development of property within Frederick County that suits the characteristics of the land, is
harmonious with adjoining property and is in the best interest of the general public.
B) Site History
The original Frederick County zoning map (U.S.G.S. Inwood Quadrangle) identifies the subject
parcels as being zoned A -2 (Agricultural General). The County's agricultural zoning districts
were subsequently combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an
amendment to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The corresponding
revision of the zoning map resulted in the re- mapping of the subject property and all other A -1
and A -2 zoned land to the RA District. On March 22, 2006 the Board of Supervisors approved
Rezoning 901 -06 which rezoned the subject properties from the RA District to the B3 (Industrial
Transition) District with proffers.
C) Site Suitability & Project Scone
Comprehensive Policy Plan:
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's
guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key
components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the
living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of policies used to
plan for the future physical development of Frederick County.
Land Use Compatibility:
The parcels comprising this MDP application are located within the County's Sewer and Water
Service Area (SWSA). The site is within the limits of the Northeast Land Use Plan and is
designated for business use.
Site Access and Transportation:
The Clearbrook Business Center development will be accessed via a public street that will
intersect with Martinsburg Pike. The internal road network will also provide interparcel access
to the properties to the north and south.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY FOR THE 6/18/14 MEETING
No questions or issues were raised by the Planning Commission. No action was required by the
Commission. (Note: Commissioner Oates abstained from discussion; Commissioners Triplett, Dunlap,
and Kenney were absent from the meeting.)
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 07/09/14 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING:
The Master Development Plan for Clearbrook Business Center depicts appropriate land uses and appears
to be consistent with the requirements of Article VIII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning
Ordinance, and this MDP is in a form that is administratively approvable. The MDP is also in
conformance with the proffers for Rezoning #01 -06. All of the issues brought forth by the Board of
Supervisors should be appropriately addressed by the applicant.

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Department of Transportation The Master Development Plan for this property appears to
have a measurable impact on Route 11, the VDOT facility which would provide access to the property.
VDOT finds the MDP acceptable. Once approved by Frederick County, please provide a signed PDF of
the plan. Before making any final comments, this office will require a complete set of site plans,
drainage calculations and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, Seventh Edition for
review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right -of -way needs, including right -of -way
dedications, traffic signalization, and off -site roadway improvements and drainage. Prior to
construction on the State's right -of -way the developer will need to apply to this office for issuance of
appropriate permits to cover said work.
Frederick County Fire Marshal Plan approved.
Frederick County Fire & Rescue: Plan approved.
Frederick County Public Works: No comments.
Frederick County Inspections: Comments shall be made at site plan submittal.
Frederick County Sanitation Authority: Per your request, a review of the proposed master plan has
been performed. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority offers comments limited to the anticipated
impact/effect upon the Authority's public water and sanitary sewer system and the demands thereon.
The parcel is in the water and sanitary sewer area served by the Authority. Based on the location both
water service and sanitary sewer service is available. Sanitary sewer treatment capacity at the waste
water treatment plant is also presently available_ Sanitary sewer conveyance capacity and layout will be
contingent on the applicant performing a technical analysis of the existing sanitary sewer system within
the area to be served and the ability of the existing conveyance system to accept additional load.
Likewise, water distribution capacity will require the applicant to perform a technical analysis of the
existing system within the area to be served to determine available capacity. Both water and sanitary
sewer facilities are located within a reasonable distance from this site.
Please be aware that the Authority does not review or comment upon proffers and/or conditions
proposed or submitted by the applicants in support of or in conjunction with this master plan, nor does
the Authority assume or undertake any responsibility to review or comment upon any amended proffers
and /or conditions which the Applicant may hereafter provide to Frederick County.
Planning & Zoning:
A) Master Development Plan Requirement
A master development plan is required prior to development of this property. Before a master
development plan can be approved, it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, Board of
Supervisors and all relevant review agencies. Approval may only be granted if the master
development plan conforms to all requirements of the Frederick County Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances. The purpose of the master development plan is to promote orderly and planned
MDP #05 -14 Snowden Bridge Station
June 24, 2014
Page 3
development of property within Frederick County that suits the characteristics of the land, is
harmonious with adjoining property and is in the best interest of the general public.
B) Site History
The original Frederick County zoning map (U.S.G.S. Winchester, VA Quadrangle) identifies the
majority of the subject property as being zoned A -2 (Agriculture General). The County's
agricultural zoning districts were combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption
of an amendment to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The
corresponding zoning map resulted in the re- mapping of this portion of the subject property and
all other A -1 and A -2 rezoned land to the RA District. The remainder of the property was
identified as being zoned R -3. The R -3 (Residential - General) District zoning classification was
modified to RP (Residential Performance) District on February 14, 1990, during the
comprehensive amendment to the county's Zoning Ordinance. On April 26, 2005 the Board of
Supervisors approved Rezoning 903 -05 for North Stephenson, Inc. which rezoned 79.13 acres
from RA (Rural Areas) District and RP (Residential Performance) District area to the M1 (Light
Industrial) District with proffers. On March 14, 2012 the Board of Supervisors approved
Rezoning 901 -12 for Snowden Bridge Station which rezoned 6.512 acres from RA (Rural
Areas) District and 6.180 acres from RP (Residential Performance) District, totaling 12.692 acres
to M1 (Light Industrial) District, with proffers.
C) Site Suitability & Project Scope
Comprehensive Policy Plan:
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's
guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key
components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the
living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of policies used to
plan for the future physical development of Frederick County.
Land Use Compatibility:
The North East Land Use Plan, Appendix I of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, recognizes that this
property is planned for industrial land uses. In addition, the adjacent area is planned for
industrial and commercial land uses. The property is located within the County's Sewer and
Water Service Area.
Site Access and Transportation:
Access to this site will be via a connection to Snowden Bridge Boulevard that would align with
an access point already approved with the North Stephenson, Inc., rezoning application. The
initial segment of Snowden Bridge Boulevard has been constructed and aligns at a signalized
intersection of Martinsburg Pike across from the Rutherford Crossing Shopping Center. The
Master Development shows the platted ROW for the continuation of Snowden Bridge Boulevard
and road construction is coordinated through several projects including North Stephenson Inc.,
Graystone, and Snowden Bridge. Additional portions of Snowden Bridge Boulevard and the
proposed Ezra Lane will be built by Snowden Bridge Station if needed for site access. The MDP
also shows the proffered ROW for the relocation of Redbud Road.

PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY FOR THE 6/18/14 MEETING:
No questions or issues were raised by the Planning Commission. No action was required by the
Commission. (Note: Commissioner Oates abstained from discussion; Commissioners Triplett, Dunlap,
and Kenney were absent from the meeting.)
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 07/09/2014 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING:
The Master Development Plan for Snowden Bridge Station depicts appropriate land uses and appears to
be consistent with the requirements of Article VIII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning Ordinance,
and this MDP is in a form that is administratively approvable. The MDP is also in conformance with the
proffers for Rezoning's 903 -05 for North Stephenson and #01 -12 for Snowden Bridge Station. All of the

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Eric R. Lawrence, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request to Amend SWSA to Serve Proposed 4 High School
DATE: June 30, 2014
Frederick County Public Schools has requested an amendment to the Sewer and Water
Service Area (SWSA) in an effort to serve the proposed 4 high school site. The recently
acquired high school site is adjacent to Admiral Richard E. Byrd Middle and Evendale
Elementary Schools. Supervisor Fisher has agreed to sponsor this request, which enables
the request to be processed as a Board of Supervisors' directed special exception, rather
than proceed through the annual Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendment process.
Through the special exception process, the Board may direct the Comprehensive Plans
and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) to study the request and report back to the Board
with a recommendation. The Board may also, in the case of this public use request,
direct staff to proceed through the public hearing process to amend the SWSA to
incorporate the 4th high school site.
The proposed high school site is located at the eastern terminus of Justes Drive,
adjacent to Admiral Byrd Middle School. This high school site is 83 acres and zoned RA
Rural Areas Zoning District — schools are by -right permitted uses in the RA Zoning
District. The site is located outside of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA).
Therefore, current County policy would prohibit the proposed high school from utilizing
the public water and sewer services. Private on -site health systems are generally
expected in the RA Zoning District.
With the Admiral Byrd Middle School and the Evendale Elementary School adjacent to
the high school site, it would appear appropriate to permit the extension of water and
sewer to serve the new school.
107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000
Via adoption of the attached resolution, the Board would be directing the Planning
Commission to initiate the public hearing process to consider an amendment to the
SWSA, and allowing the extension of sewer and water to the 4 high school site.
Please contact staff should you have any questions regarding this resolution. Thank you.

Re: Water and sewer service for the Fourth High School
Dear Eric,
This letter is to request consideration by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors
that water and sewer services be extended to the property recently purchased for the Fourth High
School. Currently, the property is located just outside the SWSA, and so what we are seeking is
a SWSA amendment.
Should you wish to contact me, please feel free to do so. My phone number is 540- 662 -3889
x88249. My email address is leew(a�frederick.kl2.va.us
Sincerely,
