Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB)
September 19, 2006
Held in the Board of Supervisors Executive Session Room of the County
Administrative Building at 107 N. Kent Street, Winchester, VA.
Members Present: Rhoda Kriz (Chairman), Elizabeth Fravel, Martin Killingbeck, Felicia
Hart, Gary Oates (Planning Commission Liaison), Virginia McClure.
Members Absent: Maral Kalbian (Consultant).
Staff. Kevin Henry- Planning Technician, Susan Eddy- Senior Planner
Agenda Items: August 2006 Minutes, Village at Opequon Rezoning (PHR&A),
Historical Plaques, and Allegheny Power (powerline through Opequon district).
Other: State grant opportunity, Stephens City historical landscape preservation
The meeting began at 6:30 P.M. with the HRAB unanimously approving the August 2006
minutes.
Since the applicant was not in attendance for the meeting the HRAB amended to skip the
Rezoning application until later in the evening, thus giving the applicant a chance to
arrive late and still make a presentation.
The third item on the agenda for the meeting was for the HRAB to approve a historical
plaque application that staff received for Valley Mill Farm. Staff gave a brief description
of Valley Mill Farm also mentioning that the property had recently been recognized by
the National Register. The HRAB unanimously felt that Valley Mill Farm deserves a
historical plaque. The HRAB also felt that the property known as the Opequon House
would also qualify for a plaque. Opequon House has yet to submit an application, but
staff has been in contact with the property owner.
The fourth item on the agenda was in regards to Allegheny Power extending power lines
through Frederick County, in particular the Opequon Magisterial District. Planning staff
felt that it would be appropriate to bring this request before the HRAB, to identify
historical areas the power lines should stay away from. Senior Planner Eddy gave a
description of the project Allegheny is intending to perform. Commissioner Oates and
Mr. Killingbeck felt it would be appropriate for the properties identified in the Rural
Landmark Survey as potentially significant to have'/4 mile buffers in which the power
lines would have to travel around. The HRAB also felt that clusters of historical
properties should also have the same buffer requirements.
The HRAB decided to proceed with the Rezoning application even though the applicant
was not present. Chairman Kriz felt that the applicant should fill out a Preliminary
Information Form (PIF) through the state with regards to the Adams House. The Adams
House is currently not identified in the Rural Landmark Survey as being potentially
significant. Since the Survey was done over 15 years ago, the HRAB felt it would be
appropriate if the State was able to comment on the property. The HRAB also felt that it
would be appropriate for a Phase I archeological survey of strictly the areas around the
primary dwelling and accessory buildings. The HRAB believed that the applicant should
also proffer a vegetative buffer around the Adams House. The HRAB requested that the
applicant officially come before them before proceeding to the Planning Commission.
In other matters, Ms. Fravel mentioned that in Stephens City a garden club monitors
historical landscaping throughout the city. Chairman Kriz suggested that the HRAB
members can attend those meetings; and also that the HRAB should encourage saving
historical trees within rezoning proposals or identify trees that are native, but rare in the
area for the developer to provide as part of a landscaping proffer.
Staff mentioned again the options for applying for a local/state grant that would allow for
the county to identify historical districts, and place these districts within the Frederick
County Comprehensive Policy Plan.
With no other business the HRAB adjourned at 7:40 P.M.

Item # 2
Star Fort Battlefield Grant
The HRAB is being asked for comments in regards to a grant opportunity through
the American Battlefield Protection Program:
This project will attempt to address vegetation management, soil erosion control,
protection of archeological resources, maintenance of interpreted views, and establish an
appropriate setting to appreciate the site.
The total size of the parcels that will be included in this grant will accumulate to seven
(7) acres. The current threats to this property are related to adjoining land uses. To the
North and West the property is zoned RP (Residential Performance), which is a dense
residential zoning classification. Adjoining the battle site to the east, there isM2 (General
Industrial) Zoning. The project request will provide a means for ensuring that the above
adjoining land uses will not adversely affect the site with respect to viewshed,
archeological resources, and erosion of sensitive natural resources. Specific areas that
will be protected are steep slopes, woodlands and any structural remains from the Fort.
Within the Star Fort Management and Interpretation Plan produced by Frederick County,
and approved by the American Battlefield Protection Program, site protection shall occur
first by providing a management entity in command of the battle site. The Shenandoah
Valley Battlefield Foundation (SVBF) aims to manage the site and provide functionality
by adhering to the parameters set forth in the grant request. The County is confident that
the SVBF can preserve and enhance public awareness of the battle site through this
request.
Frederick County respectfully requests that funds be provided towards Star Fort so that
the SVBF can provide protection to an important Civil War Battle site. Financing will go
towards archeological studies, removal of invasive vegetation, raising public awareness
(brochures, signs, public meetings, etc.), and providing better functionality for the public
to enjoy a rare resource.

Item # 3
Willow Run Rezoning Proposal
The Historic Resources Advisory Board has been requested to review and provide
comment on the Willow Run rezoning proposal, which has been submitted by Greenway
Engineering. The proposal seeks to rezone 359.97 acres from the RA (Rural Areas)
Zoning District to the R4 (Planned Residential Community) Zoning District. The
property is located east of Route 37 and Merriman's Lane (Route 621), North of Cedar
Creek Grade (Route 622) and west of the City of Winchester Corporate Limits (see
location map).
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley published by the National Park
Service, identifies a portion of the Willow Run rezoning site as being included in the
study area and core area for the Second Battle of Winchester. The study identifies the
property as having retained its integrity. The Rural Landmarks Survey Report for
Frederick County Virginia identifies three structures as being located on the property.
These properties are:
• The 740 House (#34-89) — Willow Grove
• The 750 House (#34-90) — Baker, Jacob House
• Penbrook-Cove Farm (#34-1236)
There are also three sites that are located within close proximity to the Willow Run
project, two of which are identified as potentially significant. These properties are:
• The Stuart Brown House (#34-1239)
• Homespun (#34-180) — potentially eligible for state and national register of
historic places
• House Route 622 (#34-1237)
While included in this rezoning application, the ownership of the 740 and 750 houses will
be maintained by the current property owners and at this time are not planned for
demolition. Please find attached for your information: a map of the site; the impact
analysis; and, the proffer statement provided by the applicant. Representatives of the
applicant will be available at the 14RAB meeting to provide additional information on the
proposed rezoning. Staff will be seeking comments from the HRAB on the historical
elements possibly impacted by the proposed development. The comments will be
included in the rezoning application package for the Willow Run rezoning proposal when
it is submitted.
Information from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources file, the Rural
Landmark Survey, last year's HRAB comments on rezoning this property, and the Study
of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley has been provided.

Zoning District: RA (Rural Areas)
Dear Mr. Wyatt:
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Bcard (HRAB) considered the above referenced
rezoning proposal during their meeting of October 18,200-5. The 171RA13 reviewed information associated
with the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey Re -port, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources
as well as information provided by the applicant.
Historic Resources Advisoij Board Concerns
The Rural Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County identifies the 740 House (Willow Grove #34-
89), the 750 House (Baker, Jacob House #34-90) and the Penbrook-Cove Farm (#34-1236) as being on the
property. It is the intent of the applicant to rezone this property to the 132 (Business General) and RP
(Residential Performance) Zoning Districts.
The HRAB expressed concern that the 740 and 750 houses on the property might be removed. While the
current owner- does not intend to demolish the structures at this time, future owners' intentions are
unknown. Information from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) file states that the
VDHR State Review Board determined that the Balser, Jacob House (750 House) is eligible for the
Virginia Landmarks Register and the State and National Register of Historic Places.

Z) Evergreen trees or other measures should be considered aloa- C ::dar Creek Grade (along the lo'.
Zn
in Willow Run adjacent to Cedar Creek Grade) to minimize (not to overshadow) the perspective
view of the. adjacent historic Homespun.
The applicant stated that a Phase I archeological survey had been done on the site around the
Penbrook-Cove farm complex but the foundation of the burned house had not been located.
A more detailed study should be conducted to locate the foundation of the house that burned
down at this complex, as well as additional studies around the foundations of the existing
buildings. A phase I environmental study should be conducted on the site (followed by
further studies if warranted —Phase II archeological/envirorunental) before construction on the
site begins. The applicant should utilize the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to
determine additional areas of interest for archeological studies.
The property owners should consider preserving the 750 and 740 houses; these houses are
landmarks on the site and should have permanent protection th ough the rezoning proffers.
0 As stated previously, the 750 House (Baker, Jacob House) is eligible for the State and
National Registries because of its architecture. The property owners should pursue placing
the 750 House on the State and National Registries.
Please contact me with any questions concerning these comments from the HRAB.

RE: Willow Run Mixed Use Development
Dear Evan:
This is in response to your letter of 9 August 2004 concerning the
Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation's interest in the remnant of
core area land that is part of the First Winchester battlefield in Frederick
County. This property is part of the Willow Run Mixed Use Development
proposal. As we discussed, the federal funds the Shenandoah Valley
Battlefields Foundation receives from congress may not be used to
purchase land on the First Winchester battlefield. (The battlefield was not
included in the 1996 enabling legislation for the National Historic District,
hence we are not able to use our appropriated funds to purchase land
there.) Because of this the Battlefields Foundation does not funds for the
property in question nor has it had plans to acquire this land.
While we do not like to see any battlefield land compromised, given the
lack of context and the relatively small size of this fragment of First
Winchester the Battlefields Foundation would not pursue other funding
sources for land acquisition. We hope that if the development project
proceeds and Jubal Early Drive is extended as planned that due
consideration be given to both the historic and environmental issues on
this property.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and providing the
opportunity to consider the possible impacts to the land. Please contact me
if you have any questions about this response.
Sincerely yours,
r'

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The parcels comprising the subject site are located within the study area boundary of the
Western Jubal Early Land Use Plan. The Board of Supervisors adopted the policies
guiding future land use development within the Western Jubal Early Land Use Plan on
February 11, 2004. These policies recommend that the predominant land use should be
urban and suburban residential use with areas of mixed residential and commercial land
use along the planned route of the Jubal Early Drive extension. A Master Development
Plan has been prepared and proffered for the Willow Run Community, which depicts the
Traditional Neighborhood Design elements of the site that will be developed as
residential and commercial land use. Additionally, the Applicants' proffer statement
provides for a residential unit matrix table that provides for a minimum and maximum
percentage of age -restricted, single-family attached, single-family detached and
multifamily housing product types. The 359.97± -acre site is located within the Urban
Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA); therefore,
expansion of the UDA and SWSA beyond the existing property boundaries is not
required by this application.
A. SUITABILITY OF THE SITE
A rrPc c
The subject site, tax parcels 53-((A))-90, 53-((A))-91, 53-((A))-92, 53 -((A)) -92A, 53-
((A)) -92B, 53-((A))-94, 53-((3))-A, and 63 -((A)) -2A are accessible from Cedar Creek
Grade (Route 622), Merriman's Lane (Route 621), and through the extension of Jubal
Early Drive, Sterling Drive and Cidermill Lane, which currently terminate in the City of
Winchester. The extension of Sterling Drive is not proposed due to additional impacts to
the wetland areas that have been identified by the Corp of Engineers on the south side of
Jubal Early Drive extended. Connections to, and extensions of all other identified roads
will provide safe and efficient access to the Willow Run Community.
The Western Jubal Early Drive Land Use Plan (WJELUP) identifies the extension of
Jubal Early Drive in an east -to -west direction through the limits of the subject site and
connecting to Route 37 West at a new interchange. Furthermore, this plan identifies a
new major collector road, which connects Cedar Creek Grade to Jubal Early Drive in a
north -to- south direction. The need for intermodal access is also identified in the land
use plan, which recommends the expansion of the Green Circle bicycle and pedestrian
facility into the County with linkages to the west and south.
The Applicants' proffer statement has been designed to implement the transportation
network identified in the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The transportation proffers allow
for traffic from the development to access Jubal Early Drive and Cedar Creek Grade
during the initial development phases of the Willow Run Community, while access to

Route 37 is proffered to occur through the development of new interchange ramps prior
to the 600`h residential permit (less than 45% of the total development program). The
extension of Jubal Early Drive will begin during favorable dry weather conditions to
minimize irnn....F o� to ;�,etlanul� fv^llf,'wing iubdivi�ivii aiiu plait approval by the Clty V1

Winchester. The Applicants' proffer statement also provides for the continuation of the
Green Circle along the north side of Jubal Early Drive, with an additional public bicycle
and pedestrian system along Sandyridge Drive (north -south collector road) to the
southern limits of the Willow Run Community.
Floodplains
The subject site is located on the FEMA NFIP Map #510063-0115-B. The FEMA NFIP
Map identifies floodplain areas associated with Abrams Creek from the north side of
Northwestern Pike (Route 50 West) to the west side of Merriman's Lane (Route 621).
The limits of the study end at this point; however, it is reasonable to expect the floodplain
areas identified as Zone A to continue through the northern portion of the subject site
along Abrams Creek to the City of Winchester Corporate Limits. The Applicants have
prepared a Phase I Environmental Assessment Report and a Wetlands Delineation Report
for the subject properties, a copy of which has been provided to the Planning Department.
The Applicants' proffered Master Development Plan delineates the location of the
floodplain areas on the subject site that are based on the results of the detailed CLOMR
study associated with the extension of Jubal Early Drive. The Applicants have submitted
the CLOMR study to FEMA for approval to ensure that there are no adverse impacts to
the Abram's Creek floodway resulting from the extension of Jubal Early Drive.
Protected and disturbed floodplain areas are identified on the proffered Master
Development Plan, of which, the impacted areas are only associated with the extension of
Jubal Early Drive.
Wetlands
The National Wetlands Inventory Map identifies two areas of wetlands along the northern
and eastern portions of the 359.97± -acre site. The Applicants have prepared a Wetlands
Delineation Report for the subject properties, a copy of which has been provided to the
Planning Department. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has issued a Jurisdictional
Determination Letter establishing the location of all wetland areas on-site, and a wetlands
permit has been approved by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and the Virginia
Department of Environmental Quality based on an approved wetlands mitigation plan
prepared by the Applicants. Protected and disturbed wetland areas are identified on the
proffered Master Development Plan, of which, the impacted areas are only associated
with the extension of Jubal Early Drive.

Steep Slopes
Minor areas of steep slope exist on the 359.97± -acre site, of which, a small area is located
adjacent to the wetland by Abram's Creek, a small area is located by the major karst
feature in the southeastern portion of the site, and a small area is located adjacent to
Cedar Creek Grade. Disturbance of the small area of steep slope adjacent to Cedar Creek
Grade will occur to implement the road improvements that are proffered by the
Applicants along the Cedar Creek Grade frontage. These areas of disturbance are
identified on the proffered Master Development Plan for the Willow Run Community to
ensure compliance with County Ordinance requirements.
Soil Types
The Soil Survey of Fredrick County, published by the USDA Soil Conservation Service
was consulted to determine soil types contained in this tract. The subject site is located
on map sheet number 24 & 30, and contains the following soil types:
5B -Carbo Silt Loam: 2-7% slope
14B-Frederick-Poplimento Loam:
2-7% slope
14C-Frederick-Poplimento Loam:
7-15% slope
14D-Frederick-Poplimento Loam:
15-25% slope
16C-Frederick-Poplimento Loam —
Very Rocky: 7-15% slope
16D-Frederick-Poplimento Loam
— Very Rocky: 15-25% slope
17C-Frederick-Poplimento Rock Outcrop Complex: 2-15% slope
17E-Frederick-Poplimento Rock Outcrop Complex: 15-45% slope
29-Massanetta Loam
Table 5 on page 123 of the Soil Survey of Frederick County identifies the 5B -Carbo Silt
Loam, the 14B-Frederick-Poplimento and 29-Massanetta Loam as prime farmland soils.
Frederick-Poplimento loams comprise the majority of the subject site, which possess
moderate shrink -swell potential. A band of Carbo Silt loam follows the western portion
of the subject site, which possesses a high shrink -swell potential, while Massanetta loam
is located within the defined flood plain and wetland areas. These soil types are
consistent with the soil types found in the neighboring Meadow Branch and Morlyn Hills
communities; therefore, community development activities can be supported by the soil
conditions on the subject site. Development within the Massanetta loam soils will be
limited to the extension of Jubal Early Drive. The Applicants will conduct geotechnical
analysis throughout the development of the Willow Run Community for the road
construction, utility installation and within areas where karst features are present.

The Western Jubal Early Drive Land Use Plan identifies the extension of Jubal Early
Drive in an east -to -west direction through the limits of the subject site and connecting to
Route 37 at a new interchange. Furthermore, this plan identifies a new major collector
road, which connects Cedar Creek Grade to Jubal Early Drive in a north -to -south
direction. The need for intermodal access is also identified in the land use plan, which
recommends the expansion of the Green Circle bicycle and pedestrian facility into the
County with linkages to the west and south.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been prepared for the Willow Run Community by
Patton Harris Rust & Associates, pc dated April 18, 2006 (revised from the July 12, 2005
and November 2004 submissions), which is included as a component of the Impact
Analysis Statement. The TIA assumes the total build out of 1,439 residential units and
375,000 square feet of commercial retail and office land use by year 2012 as a two-phase
plan. The first transportation phase projects the impacts associated with the development
of 600 residential units, and the second transportation phase projects the impacts
associated the total build out of the Willow Run Community that includes 1,439
residential units and 375,000 square -feet of commercial retail and office land use. The
TIA provides for a Level of Service (LOS) analysis for AM and PM peak hour traffic
volumes, as well as Average Daily Trip (ADT) volumes for existing, background and
R
Greenway Engineering September 1, 2005 Willow Run Rezoning
Revised November 4, 2005
Revised June 27, 2006
build out conditions for each transportation phase. The TIA studies all critical
intersections in the Willow Run Community and within close proximity of the Willow
Run Traditional Neighborhood Development, the existing Route 37 interchange ramps
for the regional transportation system, and the continuation of Jubal Early Drive from its
terminus in the City of Winchester to Merriman's Lane.
The Phase 1 and Phase 2 Build -Out Lane Geometry and Level of Service (LOS) for AM
and PM Peak Hour traffic volumes identify the projected traffic impacts for all critical
intersections within the project and within close proximity of the Willow Run Traditional
Neighborhood Development, the new Route 37 interchange ramps and the existing Route
37 interchange ramps for the regional transportation system, and the continuation of Jubal
Early Drive from its terminus in the City of Winchester to Route 37 at Merriman's Lane.
The TIA demonstrates that the build -out of the first transportation phase (600 residential
units) can occur while achieving acceptable levels of service on all internal streets and at
the intersection of Jubal Early Drive and Meadow Branch Avenue, as well as at the
intersection of Cedar Creek Grade and Birchmont Drive. The TIA further demonstrates
that the transportation impacts associated with the build -out of the Willow Run
Traditional Neighborhood Development, coupled with the projected background traffic
impacts, are acceptable at the signalized Jubal Early Drive intersection with Meadow
Branch Avenue, at the signalized Jubal Early Drive intersection with Merriman's Lane, at
the signalized intersection of Birchmont Drive and Cedar Creek Grade, and at the new
Route 37 interchange ramps. The TIA demonstrates that deficient levels of service exist
at the unsignalized Route 37 ramps at Cedar Creek Grade, at the Route 37 ramps at
Route 50 West, at the intersection of Jubal Early Drive and Valley Avenue, and at the
intersection of Valley Avenue and Cedar Creek Grade. However, the TIA also
demonstrates that build -out of the Willow Run Traditional Neighborhood Development
does not further reduce the levels of service at the Route 37 interchanges at Cedar Creek
Grade and Route 50 West more than the impacts associated with background traffic.
Additionally, the build -out of the Willow Run Traditional Neighborhood Development
slightly reduces the levels of service at the Jubal Early Drive and Valley Avenue
intersection during AM peak hour and at the Valley Avenue and Cedar Creek Grade
intersection during PM peak hour.
The Applicants' proffer statement has been designed to address the transportation
impacts associated with the build -out of the Willow Run Traditional Neighborhood
Development, and to assist in the mitigation of several regional transportation issues that
are a result of other development projects and projected traffic volume increases. These
proffered transportation improvements include the following:

The Applicants' proffered transportation program will mitigate the impacts associated
with the development of the Willow Run Community and will improve existing and
future conditions associated with other off-site regional transportation matters. The
complete funding and development of Jubal Early Drive and the new Route 37
interchange ramps will occur during the construction of the Willow Run Traditional
Neighborhood Development, which offers solutions to two significant regional
transportation elements identified in the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
2030 Transportation Plan for the benefit of both County and City residents.

D. SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT
The 359.97± -acre site is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) boundaries. in May 2004, the Frederick County
Sanitation Authority Board voted to provide public sewer service to the Willow Run
Community. This determination requires the Frederick County Sanitation Authority
(FCSA) to develop the infrastructure system necessary to service the Willow Run
Community.
The FCSA has undertaken an infrastructure project for the design and construction of a
new sewer force main that will connect to the Willow Run Community at the Birchmont
Drive intersection at Cedar Creek Grade and the 15" Hogue Run Sewer Interceptor,
which directs flows to the Parkins Mill Wastewater Treatment Facility. The design of the
new sewer force main will provide capacity that is adequate to accommodate the
residential and commercial land uses associated with the Willow Run Community and
additional development within the area.
The Applicants will provide for a new sewer pump station that will be located in the
northeastern portion of the property adjacent to the Abram's Creek wetlands. The design
of the new sewer pump station will provide capacity that is adequate to accommodate the
residential and commercial land uses associated with the Willow Run Community, and
will be expandable to serve additional development within the area. The Applicants will
also provide for a new sewer force main that connects the new sewer pump station to the
FCSA new sewer force main at Cedar Creek Grade. The new sewer force main will be
sized as a minimum 12 -inch main to accommodate the residential and commercial land
uses associated with the Willow Run Community and additional development within the
area. The on-site sewer infrastructure required to convey effluent to the Parkins Mill
Wastewater Treatment Facility will be developed by the Applicants to standards
acceptable to the FCSA for their future operation and maintenance.
The impact of rezoning the 359.97± -acre site can be based on comparable discharge
patterns of 500 gallons -per -day (GPD) per acre for commercial land use and 225 GPD for
residential land use. The figures below represent the impact that the total build out of the
36 -acre commercial areas of commercial and office land use and the proffered 1,390
residential units will have on the sewage conveyance and treatment systems.
Q = 500 GPD per acre
Q = 500 GPD x 36 acres of commercial and office land use
Q = 18,000 GPD projected at total commercial build out
Q = 225 GPD per household
Q = 225 GPD x 1,390 residential units
Q = 312,750 GPD projected at total residential build out
TOTAL Q = 330,750 GPD at total project build out
0
Greenway Engineering September 1, 2005 Willow Run Rezoning
Revised November 4, 2005
Revised June 27, 2006
The proposed rezoning is projected to increase flows to the Parkins Mill Wastewater
Treatment Facility by 330,750 GPD at total build out. The Applicants have proffered to
develop the Willow Run Community through a phased permitting plan that limits the
number of residential building permits that can be obtained on an annual basis. This
phased permitting plan will ensure that the build -out of the Willow Run Community
cannot occur until calendar year 2012 at the earliest. The Frederick County Sanitation
Authority Board has approved a plan to expand the capacity of the Parkins Mill
Wastewater Treatment Facility to 5 million gallons per day (MGD). The 5 MGD
expansion of the Parkins Mill Wastewater Treatment Facility is projected to be complete
in 2009, which will occur 3 years prior to the earliest possible build -out of the Willow
Run Community based on the proffered phased permitting plan. Adequate capacity for
sewage conveyance and treatment will be available throughout the development of the
Willow Run Community as a result of the infrastructure improvements provided by the
Applicants and the FCSA.
E. WATER SUPPLY
The 359.97± -acre site is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) boundaries. In May 2004, the Frederick County
Sanitation Authority Board voted to provide public water service to the Willow Run
Community. This determination requires the Frederick County Sanitation Authority
(FCSA) to develop the infrastructure system necessary to service the Willow Run
Community.
The FCSA-will provide a water transmission line that will follow Route 37 and adjoin the
Willow Run Community. This water transmission line will create a loop system that ties
together the water systems to the north between the Sunnyside Community and to the
south in the Apple Valley Road and Shady Elm Road area. This loop will allow for water
service to be provided from both the Stephens City quarry system from the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant and the Clearbrook quarry system from the North Water
Filtration Plant. These systems currently provide 6.0 MGD and can be increased to 10
MGD. The on-site water infrastructure required to convey potable water to the proposed
residential and commercial land uses in the Willow Run Community will be developed
by the applicants to standards acceptable to the FCSA for future operation and
maintenance.
The impact of rezoning the 359.97± -acre site can be based on comparable water usage of
1,000 GPD per acre for commercial and office land use and 275 GPD per unit for
residential land use. The figures below represent the impact that the total build out of the
36 -acre commercial areas of commercial and office land use and the proffered 1,390
residential units will have on the water supply and treatment systems.

Revised November 4, 2005
Revised June 27, 2006
Q = 1,000 GPD per acre
Q = 1,000 GPD x 36 acres
Q = 36,000 GPD projected at total commercial and office build out
Q = 275 GPD per household
Q = 275 GPD x 1,390 residential units
Q = 382,250 GPD projected at total residential build out
TOTAL Q = 418,250 GPD at total project build out
The projected water usage for the proposed rezoning is 418,250 GPD at total build out.
This projection represents approximately 10% of the unutilized capacities at the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant and the North Water Filtration Treatment Plan. Therefore,
available water source and infrastructure will be adequate to accommodate the capacity
needs of the proposed residential and commercial land uses for the Willow Run
Community.
F. DRAINAGE
The 359.97± -acre parcel has pronounced drainage divides, which follow the ridgelines
located in the western and central portions of the project site. These drainage divides
direct stormwater to the central and western portions of the project site, which then flow
in a northern direction to Abram's Creek and to the southwest near Route 37. The
Willow Run Community will be designed to capture the majority of the stormwater flows
in the central portion of the development within a man-made lake that will be
approximately 5 -acres in size. This lake will be created within the central portion of the
Willow Run Community and designed as an amenity for the community and will be
maintained by the Willow Run Homeowners Association. Smaller drainage areas that do
not flow to the man-made lake will be designed to direct stormwater flows to the
Abram's Creek channel. The Applicants' proffer statement provides for the use of best
management practices (BMP) in conjunction with all commercial land uses to mitigate
water quality impacts to Abram's Creek. This proffer statement also commits to the
preparation of a geotechnical analysis for the purpose of ensuring that development
impacts near the major karst feature do not adversely impact water quality through storm
water management design. Storm water management will be designed in accordance
with all applicable state and local storm water management requirements and erosion and
sedimentation control requirements.

G. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The impact on solid waste disposal facilities can be projected from an average annual
business consumption of landfill volume of 5.4 cubic yards per 1,000 sq ft. of structural
floor area and an average annual residential consumption of 5.4 cubic yards per
household (Civil Engineering Reference Manual, 4th edition). The following figures
show the increase in average annual volume based on the 375,000 square feet of
commercial and office land use, and 1,390 residential units that are projected to develop
over a 7 -year period:
AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. per 1,000 sq. ft.
AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. x 375 (1,000 sq. ft.)
AV = 2,025 Cu. Yd. at commercial build out/yr, or 1,418 tons/yr at build out
AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. per household
AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. x 1,390 households
AV = 7,506 Cu. Yd. at residential build out, or 5,255 tons/yr at build out
TOTAL AV = 6,673 tons/yr / 7 -yr build -out = 954 ton annual increase at build out
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 7 -year build out of the
subject site will generate on average 954 tons of solid waste annually. This represents a
0.47% 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. The complete
build out of the Willow Run Community is projected to increase the solid waste received
by the Municipal Solid Waste area of the Regional Landfill by 2.6% annually. The
Applicants' proffer statement provides for curbside trash pickup service in the
Willow Run Community; therefore, transportation and increased volume impacts at
the citizen convenience centers will be mitigated and tipping fees will be generated
that will create a continuous revenue source for the Regional Landfill by the Willow
Run Community.
H. HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES
The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey identifies three structures on the
359.97± -acre site as the 740 House (#34-89), the 750 House (#34-90) and the Marshal
House (#34-1236), although none of these structures are deemed potentially significant.
Two sites within close proximity are identified as potentially significant, which include
the Stuart Brown House (#34-1239) and Homespun (#34-180). The Homespun site is

The Stuart Brown House (#34-1239) is located on the Jova Properties, LCC parcel
adjacent to the Route 37 interchange area at Cedar Creek Grade. This structure is
currently utilized as a residential rental property, and is not visible from the Willow Run
Community. The Homespun site (#34-180) is located across Cedar Creek Grade from the
southeastern portion of the site. An adaptive reuse of the Homespun site has been
complete, which converted the historic structure into a commercial land use.
Additionally, the Harvest Ridge Residential Community is being developed adjacent to
and south of the Homespun site. The Homespun site has a mature row of evergreens
along its frontage, which adequately screens the structure from Cedar Creek Grade. The
Birchmont Drive intersection at Cedar Creek Grade is designed to align with the
commercial entrance serving the Homespun site; therefore, no additional impacts are
anticipated between the Willow Run Community and the Homespun site. The
Applicants' proffer statement provides for a double row evergreen tree planting screen
between the southern most residential lot that is located across Cedar Creek Grade from
the Homespun site to minimize viewshed impacts.
In August 2004, the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield Foundation Executive Committee
(SVBF) was asked to consider the potential for acquiring the potion of the 2nd Winchester
Core Battlefield area that is located on the subject site. The SVBF Executive Committee
provided a letter to Greenway Engineering dated August 16, 2004, which stated that there
was not a desire to acquire this area due to the significant amount of lost integrity of the
overall core battlefield area resulting from the development of the Meadow Branch
Community. Therefore, the development of the Willow Run Community will not have a
negative impact to existing historic structures and core battlefield area.
I. IMPACT ON COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The Frederick County Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model was prepared for the
proposed rezoning of the 359.97± -acre site based on a proffered maximum square
footage of 110,000 square feet of commercial and office land use and 850 residential
units. The results of the Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model identify that the build out
of the Willow Run community will create a negative fiscal impact of $7,692.00 for each
residential unit. The Applicants' proffer statement guarantees the development of 20,000
square feet of commercial land use; however, Greenway Engineering prepared a fiscal
impact model run that only provided commercial land use credit for 10,000 square feet of
commercial that was guaranteed in the November 4, 2005 proffer statement.
The Applicants' proffer statement provides a monetary contribution to Frederick County
in the amount of $9,078 for each non -age restricted residential unit to mitigate the fiscal
impacts to public schools, parks and recreation, fire and rescue services, and other
County services. A monetary contribution of $2,000.00 is proffered for each age
restricted residential unit to mitigate the fiscal impacts to all County services, exclusive
of public schools, which are not impacted by this specific population. Furthermore, the
13
Greenway Engineering September 1, 2005 Willow Run Rezoning
Revised November 4, 2005
Revised June 27, 2006
Applicants' proffer statement provides $1,000.00 for each non -age restricted residential
lot to public schools, which will generate between $1.11 - $1.32 million dollars for site
acquisition funding. The Applicants have also proffered an additional $50,000.00 to
mitigate impacts to the volunteer fire and rescue services. This monetary proffer
provides $25,000.00 to the first responder companies in Frederick County and the City of
Winchester that will provide service to the Willow Run Community. Additionally, the
Applicants' proffer statement provides for community recreational amenities that include
a community center facility that is a minimum of 4,000 square feet in floor area for the
overall community, a community center facility for the age -restricted units that is a
minimum of 2,000 square feet in floor area, public and private bicycle and pedestrian
facilities and neighborhood parks. Therefore, the monetary contributions provided for in
the Applicants' proffer statement, coupled with the recreational amenities adequately
mitigate the community facilities impacts and capital cost needs for the Willow Run
Community.

Architectural description (Note significant features of plan, structural system and interior and exterior decorati
taking care to point out aspects not visible or clear from photographs. Explain nature and period of all alterati
and additions. List any outbuildings and their approximate ages, cemeteries, etc.)
This mid -29th century Greek Revival brick dwelling was built ca -1848, however, it is POE
that this is not the original Baker family residence. The family acquired the land in
1755 and probably had their original home on or near the site of the current house. The
present structure is a 2 -story 5 -bay symmetrical brick dwelling laid in 5 -course Americ
brick bond. It sits on a raised split level English basement w/ 8/8 basement windows ar.
has paired parapet -end chimneys. Other architectural details include 6/6 windows w/ dec
tive wooden lintels, louvered shutters, a plain brick cornice, 6 -light transom & 3 -light
sidelights around the central door, paired 6/6 attic windows in the gable ends, and - re
2 -story enclosed porches w/ dormer additions.
Much of the interior woodwork is in tact. The mantels vary somewhat in style, some have
Federal details while others lean more towards the Greek Revival style. The house is
designed in a double pile central hall plan w/ a central open staircase.
Outbuildings include a frame bank barn on a stone foundation and a brick meathouse w/
stepped cornice that has a modern brick garage addition.
Property is set on a small hill above Willow Grove (34-89) amid many mature trees.
An excellent example of the Greek Revival style w/ fine interior woodwork.

RE: Baker, Jacob, House, Frederick County (DHR Ns 34-90)
Dear Mr. and Mrs. White: -
TDD: (804) 786-1934
Telephone (804) 786-3(
FAX. (804) 225-4261
At its October 19 meeting, the State Review Board determined that the Jacob Baker House
appears to meet the criteria for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National
Register of Historic Places. The board concurs with the Department staff that this property
appears to be eligible at the local level for significance in the area of architecture.
The staff of the Department of Historic Resources does not plan to prepare the national register
nomination which is the required next step in the registration process, as our work program is
fully scheduled for the remainder of the year and we normally limit our preparation of
nominations to those properties for which the Department is accepting an easement. If you are
interested in pursuing registration, I would recommend hiring a consultant or preparing the
nomination yourself. I would be happy to assist someone with the preparation and upon request
will send you a list of consultants and materials necessary to complete the nomination.
Thank you for your interest in the register program. Should you have any questions or concerns
regarding the registration process, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
8MW C��1*

achitectural description (Note significant features of plan, structural system and interior and exterior decoration,
aking care to point out aspects not visible or clear from photographs. Explain nature and period of all alterations
nd additions. List any outbuildings and their approximate ages, cemeteries, etc.)
This house is highly unusual in that the right 3 -bay section is a log dog -trot type house
that is 2 log pens connected by a frame covered breezeway. Each log pen has an ext. end
stone chimney w/ brick stack. The east end chimney on the log section is now a central
chimney because of the side stone & brick addition. The log portion has batten doors
w/ a 4 -light transom over the front & rear entrances. It also has 6/6 windows, 2 4 -light
attic windows in the west gable ends, and is covered in weatherboard sidiing. It appears
that both log pens and the breezeway were all built at the same time. The 2 -story brick
& stone side addition is 2 bays asymmetrical. The first floor is laid in ransom rubble
stone and the second floor is laid in 5 -course American bond brick. It has 6/6 windows
w/ wooden lintels, a stepped brick cornice, and an ext. end stone and brick chimney. It
also has a 1 -bay vernacular shed -roofed stoop. The brick and stone have been painted.
The house recently had the addition of 2 -story 2 -level rear porches made of modern pres-
sure treated lumber. The replaced the original rear porch. Beneath the east log section
is a basement w/ an entry on the south side. The entire log section sits on this basement.
Additions to the house include a modern rear deck; new snap -in 6/6 windows in the log
section and new weatherboard siding.
outbuildings include a 1 -story stone meathouse; a frame corn crib, and several frame sheds.
The property sits immediately off of Cedar Creek Grade (Rt. 622) amid several mature trees.
A 2 -rail split rail fence is located in the front.
A highly rare example of a double pen log dwelling attached by a frame connector.
Interior inspected? Yes.
Historical significance (Chain of title; individuals, families, events, etc., associated with the property.)
1815 John Miller left house & approx 225 acres to daughter Rebecca Miller Bell
It remained in Bell family until Civil War when John N. Bell lost the property to
creditors while he was being held prisoner -of -war. Mr. Stewart Bell, Sr., a grand-
son bought the property back & finished paying off his debt 1.00 years later.
