1998 Comprehensive Plan Update
The CPPS will be reviewing and editing various components of the Frederick County
Comprehensive Plan during the fall meetings. Ultimately, this information will be utilized to
produce the final copy of the 1998 Frederick County Comprehensive Plan which will be presented
to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for final resolution.
Staff has solicited input from the Virginia Employment Commission, the Winchester -Frederick
County Economic Development Commission, the Frederick County Sanitation Authority, the City
of Winchester Public Utilities, the Winchester Regional Airport, the Handley Regional Library,
Frederick County Parks and Recreation, Frederick County Fire and Rescue, Frederick County
Inspections, and Frederick County Public Works. The Frederick County School Board will
provide information later this month which will be presented during the October meeting.
Staff has provided excerpts from the 1997 Comprehensive Plan which have been shaded to
indicate new language and have been stricken to indicate language that is proposed to be
eliminated. This information, as well as the information regarding the Route 37 West Land Use
Plan will be the main focus of this update. Staff asks that the CPPS review this information for
the purpose of discussion. Staff also asks that the CPPS review the various maps and tables within
the 1997 Comprehensive Plan to determine what should be updated or created in a better format.
Growth in Housing
The number of permits issued for the construction of new homes has varied dramatically,
following the rise and fall of the national housing market. The numbers of permits issued for
new houses each year rose steadily in the early 1970's, but fluctuated in the middle 1970's.
Starting from 1977, a steady decline in permits issued occurred reaching a low of only 212 permits
in 1982. From 1982 to +9Pr 1989; permits for new houses increased steadily to an all-time high
of 980.1 102 permits in 1988-1989. However, between +989.1,990 and 1992, building permits
issued for new residences in the County declined dramatically as a result of a recession in
the national housing market. By 1992, the amount of permits issued decreased to a total of 529
568 permits. The permits issued in 1993, however, ended this four year decline. Seven hundred
sixty-two (762) permits were issued for the construction of new homes in 1993.
This totai rose slightfy in i994 to seven hundred and thi . New home construction
permits issued peaked in 1994-,1993 while figures for the last three, years
have declined. A decline in 495 when five hundred -seventy (570)
issued.permits were There were 653 permits issued in 1994; 610 permits; issued in 1995, and 690
permits issued in 1996.

Airport
The Winchester Regional Airport is a 362- 375 -acre, all weather, 24-hour general aviation airport
with a 5,500 foot runway located southeast of flie Route 50 int=chang Interstate 81 Exit 313A-
e facility currently has 75 tie down spaces, a 12,000 square foot public common hangar, a two
ten unit, and one 20 -unit, and one twelve unit T -hangar buildings, and four private corporate
hangars. These hangars accommodate +03 125 aircraft, including 14 corporate aircraft, ranging
in size from small passenger planes to corporate jets. Services available include 24-hour U.S.
Customs and Immigration.
The Winchester Regional Airport Authority was formed by the Virginia General Assembly on July
1, 1987. The Authority consists of representatives from the City of Winchester, Frederick,
Clarke, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties. Since its formation, the Winchester Regional Airport
Authority has embarked on an extensive airport improvement program to upgrade the facility.
Projects accomplished under this program include updating the master plan and the construction
of a runway extension, taxiway relocation, new General Aviation Terminal Building, T -hangar
and corporate hangars, FBO/Maintenance hangar, above ground fuel storage facility, and safety
areas at each end of the runway, and security and perimeter fencing.
Collaborating with Frederick County and the Virginia Department of Transportation, the
Authority has also made improvements to primary access roads to the airport. Sewer and water
service has also been established. To date, more than $10 million dollars has been invested in
Airport capital improvements, equipment, and promotions through Federal, State, and local
funding. Capital improvements have been accomplished in order to comply with federal design
standards. A Precision Instrument Approach is in the process of being implemented to provide
better all weather access to the Airport. This requires required acquisition of additional land and
navigation easements. Land acquisition includes an area for a Frederick County satellite ;fire
station:
Future developments include building t -h b
eis, installing seeu,it_ Land
sateffite file . Through the support
of the member jurisdictions, the Winchester Regional Airport will continue to evolve in into a
modern first class air transportation facility which will benefit and attract new industries and
commercial business to the area. Future plans include bringing commercial air service to the
airport providing to provide the community alternative modes of transportation.

thud of ;the way towards its goal.
Refuse Collection, Landfill, and Recycling
Refuse collection service is provided by Frederick County at 12 refuse collection stations. Nine
of these stations consist of hydraulic compactor machines with separable roll -off containers; the
other three sites consist of front end dumpsters. Currently, the County is in the process of
converting dumpster sites to compactor stations when warranted by tonnage levels.
The County should continue to convert dumpster sites to compactor sites as tonnage increases.
Consolidation of sites during the conversion process is also desirable, when practical. The idea
of curbside pickup is being; studied in the densely populated areas of Frederick County that are
currently served by public water and sewer.
The Frederick County Landfill is a regional facility that receives refuse from Frederick and Clarke
Counties and the City of Winchester. The landfill is operated by Frederick County as a an
enterprise fund and the landfill operation is fee sustaining. The management and planning of
landfill operations is solely the responsibility of Frederick County, with input from an oversight
committee comprised of representatives from Frederick County, Clarke County, and;the City of
Winchester.
Closure of the older section of the landfill, which opened in 1976, was completed in 1994. A
new 160 acre tract of adjacent land, purchased in 1986, was opened for land filling during 1993.
Approximately 90 acres of this tract has been permitted for land filling under the newly adopted
Subtitle "D" Solid Waste Regulations. Both the close-out of the old section and the construction
of the new section have been carried out in accordance with new state regulations that require
much more sophisticated environmental protection measures, including composite impermeable
liners, a complete leachate collection system, leachate treatment facility, groundwater monitoring
and gas monitoring.
The current landfill was originally estimated to have adequate capacity for 25 years commencing
in October of 1993. The development of a construction debris landfill should extend the life of
the current sanitary landfill approximately eight years, resulting in a life of 33 years. A tract of
land consisting of 109 wooded acres was purchased from Ryland Carper for the future
development of a construction debris landfill. The permitting and design of this new construction
debris landfill was will be completed in +996 1997, with the commencement of construction in
the same calendar year.. The County should reevaluate tonnage, revenue, and expenditure trends
every year and set fees accordingly. The County should also continue to evaluate new technologies
for waste reduction that would extend the life of the landfill.
R
During the 1990's, the County wilf place, thiough private contiacts-, placed recycled material
collection boxes throughout the County. Most will b are located at existing compactor sites. The
Commonwealth of Virginia has mandated that local governments reduce theit 50fid waste streani
. maintain a 25%
waste reduction program after the yearJ995. This will require more intensive and coordinated
recycling efforts because of ever changing recycling markets.
Sewer and Water Facilities
The location of public sewer and water lines determines where urban development will occur.
The Urban Development Area described by the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan is roughly
the same as the service areas for public sewer and water. Because sewer and water facility
location determines the location of urban development, great care is needed in planning where
such facilities will be provided.
The Frederick County Sanitation Authority has the responsibility for the treatment, transmission,
and distribution of potable water and the collection and transmission of wastewater. Most of the
sewer and water mains and laterals in the County are owned, operated, and maintained by the
Sanitation Authority.
Frederick County and the Sanitation Authority have executed a Facilities Planning Agreement
which sets forth procedures for the planning of sewer and water mains in the County. The
agreement includes provisions for adopting a water and sewer facilities plan as a part of the
Comprehensive Plan, specifying the location of mains over eight inches in size. It also includes
provisions for review and update of the plan and for including sewer and water facilities projects
in the Frederick County Capital Improvements Plan.
The City of Winchester owns and maintains sewer and water lines in portions of the County
adjacent to the City corporate limits. Such lines have been extended into the County following a
previous agreement between the City and the County. A Gravity Flow Sewer Agreement
between the City of Winchester and the Frederick County Sanitation Authority has been adopted
which specifies that either jurisdiction may transmit sewage from the other jurisdiction to the
Opequon Plant if that sewage flows by gravity to the receiving jurisdiction. This agreement
requires that the delivering area be of a minimum size and that the receiving facilities ha
capacity.sufficient jurisdiction has adequate ;collection system capacity to accommodate: the
additional flows. The delivering jurisdiction will be charged for the service provided by the
receiving jurisdiction.
The Winchester -Frederick Service Authority has the responsibility of providing wastewater
treatment for the Sanitation Authority and the City of Winchester. The Service Authority
currently owns the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility and the Parkins Mills Plant and contracts
for their operation. The City operates the Opequon Facility and the Sanitation Authority operates
7
Parkins Mills.
Sewage treatment Treatment oF:wastewater generated in the County is provided by two sewage
treatment plants the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility and the Parkins Mills Plant. The
Opequon Plant serves the Abrams Creek drainage area and surrounding drainage areas east and
north of Winchester, and provides sewage treatment for Winchester. The Parkins Mills plant
serves the upper Opequon Creek, Wrights Run, and Stephens Run drainage areas.
The current capacity of the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility is 6.25 million gallons per day.
Assuming a constant connection rate of 200 connections per year, the Frederick County Sanitation
Authority has projected there will be sufficient capacity in the Opequon Plant through the year
2005. At an 8% growth rate, capacity is projected to be sufficient through the year 2002. An
increase in the combined flows of the City of Winchester and the Frederick County Sanitation
Authority may exceed the hydraulic capacity of the Opequon Plant prior to this date. The

Capital Improvements Plan Update
Staff has received CIP forms from the Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department, the
Handley Library, the Frederick County Public Works Department and the Winchester Regional
Airport. The Frederick County School Board will be providing their CIP form later in the month
for review during the CPPS meeting in October.
Staff has created tables that are intended to provide information about the proposed projects and
their relationship to the projects that were submitted last year. Many of the projects have
remained the same; however, some projects have been modified, and one new project has been
submitted by the Winchester Regional Airport. The proposed project by the Winchester Regional
Airport calls for the expansion of the apron and the construction of a helipad. This is the only
new project that is reflected in the CIP to date. The CPPS will need to evaluate this project
utilizing the criteria developed for the rating system.
The last two pages of this agenda package provide the CIP rating system evaluation criteria and
the projects that were evaluated. Staff has provided a project description on the last page for the
Airport and asks that the CPPS evaluate it. Staff is interested in CPPS input regarding previous
ratings and the weights assigned to each evaluation criteria. Staff will bring the various
department forms to the meeting for reference. Please contact our department if you would like
a copy of these forms at this time.

The attached forms were used to evaluate requested Capital Improvement Projects. The first form contains a
list of seven evaluation criteria. Each criterion has,been assigned a weight which reflects its relative
importance when compared to the other criterion.
The second form was used to record the rating which was given to each project. The projects are listed by
department. Each project was reviewed against all of the criterion and was given a rating between zero and
four. A score of four being the highest, indicating that the project most appropriately fits the criterion.
The rating was then entered in the corresponding cell. The numeric figure to the right of the rating is the
result of the rating being multiplied by the weight and the resulting score entered in this same cell. The
scores which were given to the projects for each of the seven criteria were then totaled across the table and
the total entered in the far right hand column. Only the resulting scores after the ranking is multiplied by
the weight was totaled. These total scores were then used to assist in ranking projects. The higher the score,
the greater the priority the project is given.
Below is an example showing the total score derived for a hypothetical request for a new elementary school.
The weights corresponding to the criteria are shown beneath the criterion. The ranking given to projects for
each criterion has been entered to the left in the corresponding cell. The score (the rating multiplied by
the weight) has then been entered to the right of the cell. The total score of 39 was arrived at by adding up
the scores (the number to the right of each cell) for each individual criterion.
