- Establish a permanent non - profit organization. Eliminate taxpayer funded costs to
remove asbestos.
- Create a permanent taxpayer and provide an improved lot in the Shawneeland
Sanitary ,District.
- Preserve the use of the grounds for the citizens of Shawneeland.

** *Items Not Requiring Action * **
1. Gainesboro School Entrance Improvements
Mr. Wayne Lee offered the schools schematic for Route 522 improvements and the
justification for it. He noted the expected cost is approximately $600,000. Mr. Fisher noted
that he believes a combination of a signal with the extended turn lane as well as flashers
downstream noting when there is a red ahead as he has observed in localities elsewhere in the
state. Ed Carter of VDOT noted that the signalization work would likely approach $400,000
and that the Commonwealth Transportation Board is really holding the line on introduction of
signals to primary thoroughfares. It was also noted that this entrance only meets one of
VDOT's signal warrants which is below the current threshold. Mr. Lee noted that the dry run
they conducted of the proposed traffic plan was successful.
The Sheriff also noted that they are currently collecting speed data in that area. Mrs.
McCann - Slaughter noted that at JWMS in the past there were officers who staffed the location
at key times and would stop traffic to clear the bus traffic and asked if the School Board had
considered this.

County of Frederick, Virginia

Mr. Lee noted that this was the practice in the past.
Mr. Oates noted that he feels the school's proposal is a good compromise but noted that
speeds are a concern out there and that the school zone should possibly be extended even
f�u-ther.
Mr. Hess asked if this is seen as permanent or temporary. He noted access to
Gainesboro Road may be part of the solution.
Mr. Lee noted that while this has been discussed there are issues with spacing for the
most direct route and that the secondary route along the edge of the Adams farm that was
considered did not gain support though he did not recall why.
Mrs. McCann - Slaughter and Mr. Hess, noted that this would be a potentially good long
term solution.
Mr. Lofton asked whether there is still time to investigate additional alternatives.
Mrs. McCann - Slaughter asked about what we did at Armel since that is a similar
situation.
Mr. Lee noted it is not as easy of a solution because of greater volumes and significant
grades. The entrance also does not meet warrants and a 'superstreet' solution is not feasible
due to topographical issues. He noted that the best option there is to bring it to Macedonia
Church Road.
Mr. Fisher noted that he feels we need to keep pushing for the signal at Armel and that
he is willing to support the School Board in this discussion with VDOT.
T'he Committee, by consensus, has requested that the school continue to
investigate alternative access via the Adams farm.
Mr. Oates also noted that an entrance on Gainesboro Road would reduce the
number of buses coming onto Route 522.
2. Uacoming Commonwealth Transportation Board Meetin::
As noted on the attached correspondence, on October 25, 2016 the Commonwealth
Transportation Board and Secretary of Transportation will be holding an open house followed
by a town hall meeting farmat. While the invitation notes there will be no formal public
comment, this is an opportunity to have direct interaction with our CTB representatives,
Secretary of Transportation, and VDOT staff and inform them of Frederick County's key
priorities. Staff noted ihat they are available to drive anyone from the Transportation
Committee or Board of Supervisors to the meeting who may wish to attend and noted that
staff will also be attending. In addition, staff provided the following key points for
discussion. In addition to appreciation for recent funding approvals such as Route 277 from
Exit 307 to Double Church Road, key points of discussion at this time would include the
following:
Frederick County's Current Applications for SmartScale (formerly HB2)
1. Route 37 extension from Tasker Road to Route 522
2. (Variation of Project 1) Route 37 extension from Tasker Road to Future Warrior Drive

Revenue Sharing
Continue opposition to the plan to reduce revenue sharing funds available to localities,.
3. 2016 Virginia Appropriation Act
Please see the attached correspondence from VDOT regarding the 2016 Virginia
Appropriation Act. Mr. Ed Carter of VDOT was on hand to discuss the program with the
Committee and noted that no action is required on the part of the County at this time. This
particular policy will impact approximately $39,000.00 of Frederick County's secondary
funds and VDOT is working on recommendations of where to move those funds to preserve
them. At such time as VDOT has finished their part of the process, those recommendations
will be forwarded to the County.
4. Revenue Sharing Apalica #ions
Staff made the following recommendations to the Committee regarding the upcoming
revenue sharing cycle.
The next round of VDOT Revenue Sharing Applications will be due on November 1,
2016. Staff is seeking approval from the Committee to begin preparation of the following
applications for the Board of Supervisors consideration and approval.
1. Remaining Funding for Jubal Early Drive Extension and Interchange with Route 37
This project was first put forth for revenue sharing funding during last year's application cycle
and received $5,840,895.00 in revenue sharing funds toward a total project cost of
$18,660,500.00. Staff would like to apply for an additional $3,439,355.00 to get the revenue
sharing portion of project funding up to the full 50% that the program allows.
2. Tevis Street Extension
This project was previously awarded $700,000.00 for potential gap funding on the farmer
CDA. Since that time the CDA has failed and significant construction funding has been
awarded to the Bridge over I -81 and the Airport Road Extension and round -a -bout. A portion
Minute Book Number 42
Board of Supervisors Closed Session and Regular Meeting of 10/12/]6
County of Frederick, Virginia
1O
of the $700,000.00 has been used for design of the Tevis Street Extension and Bridge. Staff is
seeking to apply for additional revenue sharing funds to address right -of- -way and construction
of this section in the amount of $2,193,145.00.
These two potential applications total $5,632,500.00.
Staff noted that the maximum annual revenue sharing request is $10,000,000 and that if other
opportunities present themselves that the County still has room for additional applications. By
consensus the Committee authorized staff to begin working on the applications.
This item will come before the Board separately at a future meeting for final approval and
resolution adoption.
5. Fall/Winter Transportation Forum
Based on previously noted desire by the Committee to repeat last year's fall
transportation forum. Staff sought input regarding the format and/or theme for this year's
forum.
Key items discussed for the public outreach and advertisement process included I -81,
unpaved roads, transportation funding, and public safety. Staff was instructed to begin
outreach to our state and federal elected officials to try and find a date when most could
participate and to begin formulating materials for public outreach.
6. Draft LFCC Public Transit Feasibility Study
Staff provided copies and a brief overview of the study to the Committee. No action
was taken.
7. County Projects Update
Snowden Bridge Boulevard:
Construction is underway and on schedule at this time. Expected completion in approximately
one (1) month.
Tevis Street Extension /Airport Road/1 -51 Bridge:
The revenue sharing agreement has been executed and design is once again underway on the
bridge. In addition, the traffic impact analysis that will determine the design specifics for the
Airport Road is underway and a draft is expected shortly.

change the project from a grade to a bridge crossing. Staff is coordinating with CSX and
VDOT to complete an MOU for the process of getting the crossing as well as determining
unimproved rail crossings for upgrade.
Following a meeting with local stakeholders, Staff is also proceeding to the Finance
Committee to seek approval to begin design work on the surface street while the current grant
application for the bridge is pending.
