This proffer policy requires that proffers for residential developments submitted after July 1, 2016 must be specifically attributable to the development. This policy applies to schools, transportation, parks and recreation and public safety. The Southern Hills Development submitted in 2001 proffered to provide $4,910 per single- family detached unit, with a maximum of 250 residential units. The project was revised in 2006 to allow for up to 88 single-family detached units (Phase I) and 232 townhouse units (Phase II). The 2006 rezoning retained the same monetary contribution of $4,910 (total of $1,139,120 for the townhouse units). With this new rezoning, the Applicant is proposing to eliminate the townhouse units and allow for the construction of 130 single-family units while still keeping the monetary proffer amount of $830,630.70 (6,389.46 per unit) based on the proffer statement dated June 30, 2016 and revised October 13, 2016. Since this rezoning was submitted after July 1, 2016 the specifically attributable proffer policy applies to this property; therefore the Applicant is required to demonstrate how their proffers are specifically attributable to the impacts generated by their development. The Applicant has Staff had concerns regarding how the monetary figures provided by the Applicant were specifically attributable to the Southern Hills development. The Applicant has since provided an updated proffer statement that reduces the proffer amount to $830,630.70 Public Safety The Applicant has utilized operating costs per average single-family household size multiplied by the total number of proposed dwellings over a ten year $45,636.70 period. This amount per the A for the Sheriff $31,513 Office and for the Volunteer Fire and Rescue Services. Staff would note that it is not typical to utilize operating costs in calculating proffer amounts capital facilities have typically been utilized in the past, but Staff would also note that County Fire and Rescue was omitted from the analysis. Public Schools Students from this development would attend Bass-Hoover Elementary, Aylor Middle School and Sherando High School. shows existing capacity within the elementary and middle schools, however the high school is currently over capacity. Therefore, the Applicant has assumed that with the Rezoning #11-16 Southern Hills Phase 2 October 28, 2016 Page 6 total high school proposed cost, divided by the total capacity the total per student cost of this school would be $53,275. The analysis assumes that 14 high school students $745,850. would come from the development resulting in a total of Parks and Recreation The Applicant has taken operating costs of Sherando Park multiplied by the percentage of local revenues to fund the park (64% for Sherando). This figure was then divided by the total population of Frederick County and multiplied by the average single-family size and then by the total proposed units in the development and then multiplied by a ten year proposed build out. The total resulting in $7,631 for Sherando Park The total impacts on Public Safety, Public Schools and Parks and Recreation from the proposed development as outlined in the As to $830.630.70 minus the impacts shown for Clearbrook Park which were removed from the proffers prior to the Planning Commission meeting. . Staff would note that the applicant has not addressed impacts on Library Facilities or General Government Facilities. PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY AND ACTION FROM THE 10/19/16 MEETING: Staff reported this is an application to revise the proffers from Rezoning #22-06 for 40.36 acres (37.39 acres of RP (Residential Performance) and 2.57 acres of B2 (General Business) zoning to allow for the construction of up to 130 single-family detached units on the RP section of the property. Staff explained Rezoning #22-06 allowed for the construction of up to 232 single-family attached units (townhouses); therefore this requested rezoning would change the housing type and decrease the total units by 102. Staff presented a location map of the property. Mrs. Perkins continued since this rezoning was submitted after July 1, 2016; the specifically attributable proffer policy (§15.2-2303.4) applies to this property. Staff noted the Code of Virginia requires residential proffers to be specifically attributable to the impacts generated by the development. It was explained by Staff the Applicant submitted an analysis (Residential Development Attributable Impacts) demonstrating how they believe their proffers could be specifically attributable to their impacts. offered were attributable to the development: Clearbrook Park figures; Additional proffer of $304,179.30. Staff noted the Applicant has since revised the proffers to remove the Clearbrook Park proffer and the $304,179.30, bringing the total proffer to $830,630.70. Mr. Evan Wyatt of Greenway Engineering representing the Applicant came forward. He presented a brief history of the project dating back to 2006. Mr. Wyatt explained there was an additional -of-way corridor to set up the cadence to relocate South Warrior Drive in the future should the Stephens City exit #307 be shifted. Mr. Wyatt continued the Applicant has put together a proffer which takes 232 townhouses out of the equation and proposes a maximum of 130 single-family detached homes; this means there is a reduction to impacts for transportation, schools, water and sewer. Mr. Wyatt noted another important item is the Applicant wanted to acquire the 2.5 acre portion in order to control that piece for the right-of-way which has two deeds available to the County or VDOT upon request, and it goes from a reservation to a dedication. Rezoning #11-16 Southern Hills Phase 2 October 28, 2016 Page 7 A Commission Member inquired if there is any odor that comes from the waste water treatment pond located there. Mr. Wyatt stated he has not personally witnessed an odor; however there is a clause in the proffer that requires disclosure to future lot purchasers regarding the proximity of the pond/lagoon. The Commission Member asked if the proffer amount of $830,630.70 in the revision was totally voluntary. Mr. Wyatt stated that is correct and it was calculated based on attributable impacts. The Commission Member inquired if there is any intent to build on the B2 portion of the property. Mr. Wyatt confirmed there is no intent. A Commission Member inquired when the revised proffers were received. Staff stated the revised proffers were received October 18, 2016. The Commission Member asked does that put the Planning Commission in a compromised position since the bylaws state revised proffers must be received 14 days in advance of the meeting. Director, Michael T. Ruddy explained the bylaws give the Planning Commission the ability to table an application for a variety of reasons; one being if the proffers are provided less than 14 days before the meeting; giving the ability to do so does not mean you have to and it is at the discretion of the Planning Commission. The Commissioner Member noted he does not like getting proffers this close to the meeting date, however in this case the only change in the revised proffers is lowering the monetary amount to what is directly attributable to the development. A motion was made, seconded, and the Commission unanimously recommend approval of REZ #11-16 for Southern Hills.

The subject property is identified as Tax Map Parcel 85D-1-1-95, which is located on the east side of Town Run Lane (Route 1012) approximately 0.6 miles south of the intersection with Fairfax Pike (Route 277). The subject property is split-zoned and is comprised of 37.79± acres of RP, Residential Performance District and 2.57± acres of B-2, Business General District. The subject property is a component of a 105± acre parcel that was originally rezoned as RP, Residential Performance District with proffers (Rezoning Application #01-01) and subsequently rezoned as RP, Residential Performance District and B-2, Business General District with proffers (Rezoning Application #22-06). The Owner proposes to rezone the 40.36±-acre subject property to maintain the same acreage of RP, Residential Performance District and B-2, Business General District land area, and to modify the proffer statement to limit development of the 37.79± acres of RP, Residential Performance District to a maximum of 130 single- family detached residential lo-of-way area within the 2.57± acre B-2, Business General District portion of the property as a reservation area for future public street dedication to accommodate the future extension of South Warrior Drive to the future Interstate 81 Exit 307 relocation as proffered under Rezoning Application #22- 06.

Rezoning Current Zoning: RP, Residential Performance District (37.79± acres) B-2, Business General District (2.57± acres) Current Use: Undeveloped (Note: Single-family detached residential lots platted and some lots developed in Southern Hills Phase 1) Proposed Zoning: RP, Residential Performance District (37.79± acres) B-2, Business General District (2.57± acres) Proposed Use: Single-Family Detached Residential Lots (RP District) Public Street Reservation Area (B2 District) Total Rezoning Area: 40.36±-acres with revised proffers for the subject property COMPREHENSIVE POLICY PLAN Urban Development Area The Urban Development Area (UDA) defines the general area in which residential, commercial, industrial and institutional land use development is encouraged in the County. The 40.36±-acre subject property is currently located within the UDA; therefore, expansion of the UDA boundary to accommodate the proposed development of single-family detached residential lots and a public street reservation area for the future extension of South Warrior Drive is not required for this rezoning application. Sewer and Water Service Area The Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) is generally consistent with the UDA, but also extends outside of the UDA to accommodate areas of the County in which commercial and industrial land use development is only desired. The 40.36±-acre subject property is currently located within the SWSA; therefore, expansion of the SWSA boundary to accommodate the proposed development of single-family detached residential lots and a public street reservation area for the future extension of South Warrior Drive is not required for this rezoning application. Comprehensive Plan Conformity The 40.36±-acre subject property is located in the UDA and the SWSA and is within the study area boundary of the Southern Frederick Area Plan. The Southern Frederick AreaPlan is a large-area plan that identifies land uses, transportation networks, and other matters that are recommended for consideration for future land use and development within this geographic area of the County. The 40.36±-acre subject property is identified for residential and business land use; therefore, the proposed RP, Residential Performance District and B-2, File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 3 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning Business General District rezoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The Southern Frederick Area Plan Transportation Map identifies a new minor arterial road system that traverses the subject property. The alignment of the new minor arterial road is located within the B-2, Business General District portion of the subject property, which has been identified as a public street reservation area; therefore, the proposed rezoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. SUITABILITY OF THE SITE Access The 40.36±-acre subject property is located on the east side of Town Run Lane (Route 1012), approximately 0.6 miles south of the intersection with Fairfax Pike (Route 277).Access to the single-family detached residential lots will be provided along Town Run Lane and through a system of public streets internal to the RP, Residential Performance District portion of the subject property. The single-family detached residential lots will not have access from the B-2, Business General District portion of the subject property that has been established by deed as a future public street reservation area. Flood Plains The 40.36±-acre subject property contains a small area of floodplain within the B-2, Business General District portion of the subject property along the eastern property line that is associated with Stephens Run. The subject property is located within FEMA NFIP Map #51069C0330D, Effective Date September 2, 2009, and is primarily located within Flood Zone X with the exception of the small area of floodplain within the B-2, Business General District portion of the subject property. The single-family detached residential lots proposed for Southern Hills Phase 2 are located completely outside of the floodplain limits. Wetlands The 40.36±-acre subject property does not contain wetland areas as demonstrated on the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map information from the Frederick County GIS Database. However, the Southern Hills Master Development Plan approved by Frederick County on April 9, 2007 identifies delineated wetland areas along the southern boundary of the subject property. The delineated wetland areas are located within the open space portion of the subject property and will not be impacted by the developed of the single-family detached residential lots proposed for Southern Hills Phase 2. Soil Types The 40.36±-acre subject property contains three soil types as demonstrated by the Soil Survey of Frederick County, Virginia and the Frederick County GIS Database. The following soil type is present on site: File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 4 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning 9B: Clearbrook Channery Silt Loams 2-7% slopes 32C: Blairton Silt Loams 7-15% slopes 41C/D/E: Weikert-Berks Channery Silt Loams 7-65% slopes None of the soil types within the subject property are identified as a prime agricultural soil and all types have high shrink/swell properties. The 40.36±-acre subject property has similar soil conditions as Southern Hills Phase 1, which has been developed with public streets and single-family detached residential lots. Other Environmental Features The 40.36±-acre subject property does not contain areas of steep slope, lakes or ponds or natural stormwater retention areas as defined by the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, and as delineated on the Southern Hills Master Development Plan approved by Frederick County on April 9, 2007. There are no known environmental features present that create development constraints for the proposed single-family detached residential lots within Southern Hills Phase 2. ADJOINING PROPERTIES Adjoining property zoning and present use: North: B-2, Business General District Use: Unimproved South: RP, Residential Performance District Use: Southern Hills Phase 1 East: RP, Residential Performance District Use: Southern Hills Phase 1 West: RA, Rural Areas District Use: Unimproved TRANSPORTATION The 40.36±-acre subject property is located on the east side of Town Run Lane (Route 1012), approximately 0.6 miles south of the intersection with Fairfax Pike (Route 277). The subject property is generally identified as Southern Hills Phase 2 (the middle section of the Southern Hills Subdivision). Frederick County originally approved Rezoning Application #01-01, which established RP, Residential Performance District zoning over the 105± acre parent tract that includes the 40.36± acre subject property. The approved Proffer Statement for this rezoning required the 105± acre property to be developed as single family lots and included several off-site transportation improvements. Subsequently, Frederick County approved Rezoning Application #22-06, which maintained the single family lots within File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 5 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning Southern Hills - Phase 1 and modified the remainder of the project area to allow for 232 townhouse lots within Southern Hills Phase 2 and to allow commercial zoning in the northern portion of the project (Southern Hills Phase 3). The approved Proffer Statement for this rezoning carried forward the transportation improvements from the original proffers, restricted the Southern Hills - P right-of-way area between the townhouses and the commercial land bay to accommodate the future extension of South Warrior Drive to the future Interstate 81 Exit 307 relocation. The original property owner implemented the proffered transportation improvements that were identified in Rezoning Application #01-01 and Rezoning Application #22-06. These transportation improvements are identified on the Transportation Proffer Compliance Map Exhibit and include the following: Completion of the extension of Stickley Drive (Route 1085) to connect with Town Run Lane (Route 1012) to facilitate a new traffic pattern to Fairfax Pike (Route 277). Installation of guardrail along Town Run Lane (Route 1012) as approved and permitted by VDOT. Completion of new surface material overlay of Town Run Lane (Route 1012) along the Southern Hills property frontage as approved and permitted by VDOT. Implementation of traffic signalization at the intersection of Fairfax Pike (Route 277) and Stickley Drive (Route 1085). The 40.36± acre subject property is inclusive of the Southern Hills Phase 2 Land Bay that is approved for 232 townhouse lots; as well a-of-way area to accommodate the future extension of South Warrior Drive. The Owner -of-way area for future public street dedication to ensure this is available to Frederick County and VDOT as per the Rezoning Application #22-06 Proffer Statement. This public street reservation is legally recorded by deed and plat as Instrument No. 160002930/0001, which is included as information in the proposed rezoning application. The proposed Rezoning Application Proffer Statement eliminates the allowance for 232 townhouse lots and provides for a maximum of 130 single-family detached residential lots. The following information identifies the existing and proposed traffic impacts associated with this rezoning request: EXISTING IMPACTS: 232 Townhouses x 7.5 ADT = 1,740 VPD PROPOSED IMPACTS: 130 Single-Family Detached x 9.5 ADT = 1,235 VPD REDUCED IMPACT: Proposed rezoning results in a reduction of 505 VPD The Southern Hills Phase 2 Rezoning Application has provided for the reservation of the -of-way area for future public street dedication to ensure this is available to Frederick County and VDOT for the extension of South Warrior Drive as per the Rezoning Application #22-06 Proffer Statement, and previous development activities associated with File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 6 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning the Southern Hills Phase 1 Land Bay have implemented all other transportation improvements. Additionally, the proposed rezoning application results in a reduction of 505 vehicles per day that reduces impacts to the Fairfax Pike (Route 277) and Stickley Drive (Route 1085) intersection. Therefore, the proposed rezoning application adequately mitigates transportation impacts to Frederick County. SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT The 40.36±-acre subject property is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA); therefore, the property is entitled to be served by public sewer based on County Policy. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) is the provider of public sewer service within this area of the County and currently has sewer infrastructure within Southern Hills Phase 1 that includes gravity sewer lines, a pump station and a four-inch sewer force main that directs effluent to a 15-inch sewer transmission line to the Parkins Mill Treatment Facility (PMTF). The Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) has determined that 300gallons/day per residential connection is an appropriate calculation for estimating the sewer demand for residential land use projects. Existing and proposed sewer demands for the 40.36± subject site are as follows: EXISTING DEMAND: Southern Hills Phase 2 is currently approved for the development of 232 townhouse lots; therefore, the projected sewer demand is as follows: Q = 300 gallons/day/per residential connection Q = 300 GPD x 232 residential connections Q = 69,600 GPD projected at residential build-out PROPOSED DEMAND: The Southern Hills Phase 2 Rezoning Application Proffer Statement proposes to allow for the development of a maximum of 130 single-family detached residential lots; therefore, the projected sewer demand is as follows: Q = 300 gallons/day/per residential connection Q = 300 GPD x 130 residential connections Q = 39,000 GPD projected at residential build-out REDUCED IMPACT: The Rezoning Application provides for a reduction of 30,600 GPD of sewer demand from the Southern Hills Phase 2 development proposal. The sewer system design for Southern Hills Phase 2 will incorporate an on-site gravity collection system that directs effluent from the single-family detached residential lots to the existing FCSA pump station located immediately east of the subject property. The existing pump station was designed, approved and constructed as a 0.135 MGD facility. The projected sewer demand for the existing single-family detached residential lots within File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 7 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning Southern Hills Phase 1 and the proposed single-family detached residential lots within Southern Hills Phase 2 result in a projected sewer demand of 67,200 GPD, which is approximately 50% of the design capacity of the existing FCSA pump station. Therefore, the proposed Rezoning Application can be accommodated by the existing FCSA sewer system infrastructure. WATER SUPPLY The 40.36±-acre subject property is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA); therefore, the property is entitled to be served by public water based on County Policy. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) is the provider of public water service within this area of the County and has an existing 12cated along Town Run Lane (Route 1012) that provides public water to the property. the Southern Hills Phase 2 property. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) has determined that 300gallons/day per residential connection is an appropriate calculation for estimating the water demand for residential land use projects. Existing and proposed water demands for the 40.36± subject site are as follows: EXISTING DEMAND: Southern Hills Phase 2 is currently approved for the development of 232 townhouse lots; therefore, the projected water demand is as follows: Q = 300 gallons/day/per residential connection Q = 300 GPD x 232 residential connections Q = 69,600 GPD projected at residential build-out PROPOSED DEMAND: The Southern Hills Phase 2 Rezoning Application Proffer Statement proposes to allow for the development of a maximum of 130 single-family detached residential lots; therefore, the projected water demand is as follows: Q = 300 gallons/day/per residential connection Q = 300 GPD x 130 residential connections Q = 39,000 GPD projected at residential build-out REDUCED IMPACT: The Rezoning Application provides for a reduction of 30,600 GPD of water demand from the Southern Hills Phase 2 development proposal. The water system design for the Southern Hills Phase 2 single-family detached residential lots will expand on the existing water system that was developed for Southern Hills Phase 1. This design will provide for water line looping to ensure that adequate water pressure is available for residential service and for fire flow. The projected water demand for the existing single-family detached residential lots within Southern Hills Phase 1 and the File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 8 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning proposed single-family detached residential lots within Southern Hills Phase 2 result in a projected sewer demand of 67,200 GPD, which is a reduction of 30,600 GPD below the projected water needs for the subject property. Therefore, the proposed Rezoning Application can be accommodated by FCSA and by the existing water system infrastructure. SITE DRAINAGE The 40.36±-acre subject property has a drainage divide that directs drainage to the east and to the south to defined channels that flow into Stephens Run. The proposed single-family detached residential lots will be developed as curb and gutter streets and will incorporate stormwater management design that will include stormwater detention ponds on the eastern and southern portion of the subject property on the upper side of the Stephens Run drainage channels. Stormwater quality measures will be evaluated during the Subdivision Design Plan process and will be achieved through on-site quality measures or a combination of on-site quality measures and nutrient credits if necessary. The stormwater quantity and quality measures will be designed in conformance with all applicable state and local regulations; therefore, site drainage and stormwater management impacts to adjoining properties and the community will be adequately mitigated. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL The impact on solid waste disposal associated with the development of the 40.36± subject site can be projected from an average annual residential consumption of 5.4 cubic yards per th household (Civil Engineering Reference Manual, 4 Edition). The Frederick County Public Works Department is responsible for solid waste disposal as the manager of the Regional Landfill Facility. Existing and proposed solid waste disposal demands for the 40.36± subject site are as follows: EXISTING DEMAND: Southern Hills Phase 2 is currently approved for the development of 232 townhouse lots; therefore, the projected solid waste demand is as follows: AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. per household AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. x 232 residential units AV = 1,253 Cu. Yd. at residential build-out, or 877 tons/yr at build-out PROPOSED DEMAND: The Southern Hills Phase 2 Rezoning Application Proffer Statement proposes to allow for the development of a maximum of 130 single-family detached residential lots; therefore, the projected solid waste demand is as follows: AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. per household AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. x 130 residential units AV = 702 Cu. Yd. at residential build-out, or 491tons/yr at build-out File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 9 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning REDUCED IMPACT: The Rezoning Application provides for a reduction of 386 tons/yr of solid waste demand from the Southern Hills Phase 2 development proposal. The Municipal Solid Waste area of the Regional Landfill has a current remaining capacity of 13,100,000 cubic yards of air space. The projected buildout of Southern Hills Phase 2 will generate approximately 491 tons of solid waste annually on average. This represents a 0.24% increase in the annual solid waste received by the Municipal Solid Waste area of the Regional Landfill, which currently averages 200,000 tons per year and is a reduction from the annual solid waste disposal that would otherwise occur under the existing residential land use plan. The Regional Landfill has adequate capacity to accommodate the solid waste impacts associated with this proposal. HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey does not identify structures deemed to be historically significant on the 40.36±-acre subject property, nor does the survey identify properties within proximity of this site that are deemed potentially significant. The closest potentially significant structure is identified as the Wise-Ritenour House (34-1209), which is located approximately 0.3 miles southeast of the subject property. The National Park Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley does not identify the 40.36±-acre subject property as being located within defined Civil War Battlefield study area boundaries. Therefore, the proposed single-family detached residential lot development plan for the subject property will not create negative impacts associated with historic resources. COMMUNITY FACILITY IMPACTS The 40.36±-acre subject property is a component of a 105± acre parcel that was originally rezoned as RP, Residential Performance District with proffers (Rezoning Application #01- 01) and subsequently rezoned as RP, Residential Performance District and B-2, Business General District with proffers (Rezoning Application #22-06). Rezoning Application #22-06 was approved for the development of 232 townhouse lots, while the proposed Rezoning Application would reduce this impact through the proffered maximum development of 130 single-family detached residential lots. Rezoning Application #22-06 provides for a total monetary contribution value of $1,139,120.00 to offset impacts to community facilities. The proposed Rezoning Application maintains this same level of funding to offset impacts to community facilities even though this proposa Proffer Statement requires the inclusion of a narrative on the Subdivision Design Plan that identifies the monetary contribution for each single-family detached residential lot that File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 10 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning equates to the total monetary contribution of $1,139,120.00 divided by the total number of single-family detached residential lots. This approach ensures that the Owner will provide the same level of funding to offset impacts to community facilities regardless if the total number of lots falls below the maximum 130 single-family detached residential lots identified in the proposed Proffer Statement. The school student generation impact to Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) is calculated by the County Development Impact Model (CDIM). Currently, the CDIM projects single-family detached residential land use at 0.40 students per household (SFD = 0.19 Elementary School Students; 0.10 Middle School Students; 0.11 High School Students) and projects townhouse residential land use at 0.27 students per household (TH = 0.13 Elementary School Students; 0.07 Middle School Students; 0.07 High School Students). Existing and proposed school student generation impact to FCPS is as follows: EXISTING DEMAND: Southern Hills Phase 2 is currently approved for the development of 232 townhouse lots; therefore, the school student generation impact to FCPS is projected to be 63 students. PROPOSED DEMAND: The Southern Hills Phase 2 Rezoning Application Proffer Statement proposes to allow for the development of a maximum of 130 single-family detached residential lots; therefore, the school student generation impact to FCPS is projected to be 52 students. REDUCED IMPACT: The Rezoning Application provides for a reduction of 11 school students that will be generated from the Southern Hills Phase 2 development proposal. OTHER POTENTIAL IMPACTS The Ewing Family Cemetery is located within the southeastern portion of the 40.36±-acre subject property. The Proffer Statements associated with Rezoning Application #01-01 and Rezoning Application #22-06 provided for the creation of a separate lot for the Ewing Family Cemetery with access from a public street within the property; as well as an access easement from the public street to the cemetery that would be maintained by the Ewing Family. The proposed Proffer Statement provides for this same commitment; therefore, there are no impacts associated with the Ewing Family Cemetery that will result from the development of single family detached residential lots on the 40.36±-acre subject property. The Owner proposes to rezone the 40.36±-acre subject property to maintain the same acreage of RP, Residential Performance District and B-2, Business General District land area, and to modify the proffer statement to limit development of the 37.79± acres of RP, Residential Performance District to a maximum of 130 single-family detached residential lots, while -of-way area within the 2.57± acre B-2, Business GeneralDistrict portion of the property as a reservation area for future public street dedication to File #3126V Impact Analysis Statement/EAW 11 Greenway Engineering June 30, 2016 Arcadia Communities, L.L.C. Rezoning accommodate the future extension of South Warrior Drive to the future Interstate 81 Exit 307 relocation as proffered under Rezoning Application #22-06. This Rezoning Application results in a reduction of total vehicle trips, a reduction of sewer demand, a reduction of water demand, a reduction of solid waste demand, and a reduction of school students, while maintain the same level of funding to offset impacts to community facilities proffered under Rezoning Application #22- provides assurances for these reductions and for this funding commitment; therefore, the proposed Rezoning Application has adequately mitigated impacts to Frederick County.
