MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Kris C. Tierney, Deputy Planning Director
SUBJECT: Proposed 1995-96 Capital Improvements Plan
DATE: January 10, 1995
As most Commissioners are aware, the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee
evaluates departmental CIP project requests. The 1995-96 Capital Improvements Plan was
presented to the Planning Commission on January 4, 1995. As a result of recent School
Board changes to their project requests, the CIP has been revised to reflect these changes.
At their January 9, 1995 meeting, the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee re-
evaluated and finalized their recommendation for the 1995-96 CIP. Materials related to the
preparation of this recommendation along with the draft are attached.
The following documents are attached:
► Cost Summary for the draft 1995-96 CIP.
► Project Summary for the draft 1995-96 CIP. This includes a brief outline of the
project included in last years CIP, and those included in the draft 1995-96 CIP.
► The 1995-96 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) as recommended by the
Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee at their meeting on January 4, 1995.
Please contact myself or Eric Lawrence if you have any questions
COST SUMMARY
The proposed CIP contains 27 projects with a total project cost of $54,087,136. This figure
includes the estimated debt service on all projects except the County Offices. The total does
not include Sanitation Authority or Landfill projects which are paid for out of user fees and
are made a part of the CIP in the form of addendum. Of this amount, $30,728,806 would
come from the County's General Fund over a five year period (not including debt service).
As presently proposed, projects scheduled in the first year (1995-96 fiscal year) would have a
total County cost of $13,037,950 excluding any debt service.
PROJECT SUMMARY
The draft 1995-96 CIP consists of 27 project requests from the County's various
departments. Of these project requests, only five are new to the CIP. The remaining 26
were included in the 1994-95 CIP. The five new projects are: JW & Sherando High
School Renovations, New Stonewall Elementary School, Administration Building
Renovations, and Transportation/Maintenance/Central Warehouse facility requests from
the School Board, and a Landfill Development Phase I, Cell D request from the Public
Works Department.

CAPITAL L"FROVEMENT PROGRAADIING
PROJECT EVALUATION PROCESS
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.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
FREDERICK COUNTY
1995-96
INTRODUCTION
The Code of Virginia assigns the responsibility for preparation of plans for capital outlays to
the local planning commissions. The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) consists of a schedule
for major capital expenditures for the County for the ensuing five years.
The CIP is updated annually. Projects are removed from the plan as they are completed or
as priorities change. The plan is intended to assist the County Board of Supervisors in
preparation of the County budget. In addition to determining priorities for capital
expenditures, the County must also ensure that projects contained within the CIP conform to
the Comprehensive Policy Plan.
The annual review process begins with the submission of capital expenditure requests from
County departments and citizens in the fall of the year. These requests are evaluated by the
Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee, a subcommittee of the Planning
Commission, using a list of seven evaluation criteria. Each criterion is assigned a weight
which reflects the relative importance when compared to the other criterion. The Committee
then meets with representatives of departments making expenditure requests and determines a
recommended priority and amount for the various requests. This recommendation is passed
to the Planning Commission which in turn makes a recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors.
The CIP is strictly advisory. Once adopted, project priorities may change throughout the
year based on changing circumstances. It is also possible that particular projects may not'be
funded during the year that is indicated in the CIP. The status of any project becomes
increasingly uncertain the further in the future it is projected.

PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS
1. School Board Projects
The renovation of the James Wood Middle School air conditioning, in addition to its roof
replacement, were completed during the summer of 1994. The replacement of the Senseny
Road Elementary School roof was completed during the 1994-95 fiscal year. Renovations to
Frederick County Middle School's windows, and the installation of air conditioning were
completed during the 1994-95 fiscal year.
The School Board proposes to build a Elementary School on the recently purchased Route 7
property. This school will have a capacity of approximately 700-750 students. Additions to
James Wood and Sherando High Schools for approximately 300 students are also proposed.
This project will replace the new county high school which had been planned in previous
CIPS.
A new school building is planned for the Stonewall School. Previously, the Stonewall
School project was to include air conditioning/renovations. After further evaluations, the
School Board proposes to close the existing school, and build a new school on the site.
Renovations are proposed for Senseny Road elementary school. This project was included in
past year CIPS, but was delayed due to budget considerations.
Funding is being requested for a new transportation/maintenance/central warehouse facility.
The project involves building the proposed structure(s) on the recently purchased property
along Route 7. The existing maintenance facility has reached the point where it is difficult to
house all of the school system's buses and still provide service to an increasing number of
County vehicles from other departments, in particular the Sheriff's Office, as well as vehicles
from Planning, Building, and Parks and Recreation.
2. Parks and Recreation Projects
Master Plans for the Clearbrook and Sherando parks were adopted in 1987, which describe a
complete program for park improvements. These Master Plans reflect the recommendations
of County residents and conforms to national standards as outlined in the Virginia Outdoor
Plan.
Several projects are planned in and around Sherando Park. The County was awarded an
ISTEA Transportation Enhancement Program grant to build a Bikeway System. This 2.45
Frederick County 1995-96 Capital Improvements Plan
3
mile facility will serve several residential areas in southern Frederick County. The bicycle
path has been designed to link the residential developments and park land on the north of
Route 277 with Sherando Park and Sherando High School. In addition to other
improvements at Sherando Park, two projects are planned that will be used by Sherando
High School, the proposed soccer complex and softball complex.
Several projects are planned for Clearbrook Park including a tennis/basketball facility, an
open play area, support facilities that include landscaping and renovation of the existing
entrance road, an exercise/picnic area, and a shelter with a sound stage and seating.
In an effort to reduce the gap in provision of services to the western portion of the County,
the Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to purchase park land in western Frederick
County that will be the site of a nature center/picnic area.
3. County Administration
The County's Administrative offices have been relocated to the Courthouse Associates
building at 107 North Kent Street. This temporary relocation was necessary in order for the
County to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. While the decision to remain
within the City of Winchester's Downtown Historic District has been made, a permanent
location for the County's Administrative offices has not been determined.
4. Handley Library
As part of a master plan prepared for the Handley Library by a library consuitanting firm, it
was recommended that a library be built in southeastern Frederick County. A library in this
area would enable the Handley Library to provide service to the growing population in
southern Frederick County. The Library would need a minimum of 4.5 acres of land. A
34,000 square foot building is proposed which could be expanded, in stages, ultimately to
50,000 square feet.
S. Airport Authority
An updated master plan for the Winchester Regional Airport was adopted in December of
1993. This plan contains recommendations regarding capital improvements to the airport in
order to meet federal guidelines for airports the size of the Winchester Regional Airport and
to provide better service to airport users.
Construction is underway for two projects included in the 1994-95 Capital Improvements
Plan. These projects, Taxiway Relocation and T -Hanger Taxiway, were required in order
for the airport to meet federal design standards.
Frederick County 1995-96 Capital Improvements Plan

The projects that the Airport Authority are proposing for the immediate future include a land
acquisition of 34 acres which is needed to enhance aircraft operational safety during approach
to the airport, construction of a 16 -unit T -Hanger, and upgrading the terminal apron lights.
6. Sanitation Authority Projects
The Sanitation Authority is proposing two projects. They include four Water Transmission
Lines and two Water and Sewer Lines. The Water Transmission lines will include providing
service to Miller Heights, Bufflick Heights, Westview subdivision, and Route 50/Victory
Road. The Water and Sewer Line project will provide service to a portion of Route 522
South and Boundary Lane. The Sanitation Authority Projects will not be funded directly
through the CIP. These projects receive their funding through user fees.
7. Landfill and Compactor Projects
The Public Works Department is proposing seven projects. They include:
Closure of Cells A and B, Phase I
Landfill Development - Cell D, Phase I
Landfill Development - Cell A, Phase II
New Compactor Site
Leachate Treatment Facility
New Composting/Waste Inspection Facility

PROJECT 4 New Compactor Site
Description: This project includes the construction of a compactor site
in the vicinity of the intersection of Middle Road and Marlboro Road to
replace the container site on Middle Road. The development of a
compactor site includes site grading, paving, construction of a concrete
pad and a concrete retaining wall, and the installation of a trash
compactor. In addition, it is anticipated that the site will be fenced and
landscaped.
Capital Cost: $51,000
Justification: This existing container site off of Middle Road is
continuously being overrun causing an excessive amount of litter on
adjacent property. This site is also experiencing a great amount of
illegal dumping from contractors and citizens outside of Frederick
County. The installation of a compactor site would afford the Landfill
the opportunity to monitor the inflow of refuse, control illegal dumping
and eliminate the unnecessary litter.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY -95.
PROJECT 5 Construction of Leachate Treatment Facility
Description: This project includes the construction of a treatment
facility to treat and discharge leachate which is currently being
collected and transported to Parkins Mill Treatment Plant for treatment.
The facility would include an additional holding pond for biological
treatment as well as a chemical processing station prior to discharge
into the Opequon.
Capital Cost: $150,000
Justification: The landfill is currently collecting the leachate in a 1.5
million gallon lined lagoon. The leachate is then pumped and hauled to
Parkins Mills Treatment Plant for treatment. The projected economic
analysis (25 year life) indicates that a treatment facility would provide a
more economical treatment alternative after leachate production reaches
a constant 3,000 gallons per day.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY -97.
PROJECT 6 Composting/Waste Inspection Facility
Description: This project will include the construction of a pole
bunditig, approximately 60'x!20' in dimension to accommodate sludge

composting and required random waste inspections. It is anticipated
that the project will include a wood pole building, a 6 -inch concrete
floor and an underlying leachate collection system. The project will be
constructed on landfill property to take advantage of the existing
leachate collection system.
Capital Cost: $85,000
Justification: This project is considered necessary for the following
reasons:
1) Composting sewage sludge would provide an economical
source of needed topsoil used to cover closure areas. The
landfill is currently maintaining 60 acres of closed landfill and
anticipates an additional 90 acres over the life of the new
expansion. Composting sewage sludge will assist us in meeting
recycling mandates imposed by the Department of
Environmental Quality.
2) the proposed composting facility can also be used for the
random waste inspections required by the landfill's new permit.
Construction Schedule: Completion FY -96
PROJECT 7 Expansion of Citizen's Convenience Area
Description: This project will include an expansion area to
accommodate an additional 50 cubic yard open top container. This
expansion will include an extension of the existing retaining wall and
concrete slab, relocation of existing fencing, minor grading and paving.
Capital Cost: $25,000
Justification: This expansion is needed to accommodate the increased
influx of bulky items such as furniture, construction debris, and other
wood products. Currently, there is a 50 cubic yard container which is
continuously being overrun on weekends and holidays.

Southern Frederick County and to provide adequate books, services,
and seating for the population served by the regional system. On a lot
of 7 acres, the building will be 34,000 square feet and will be expanded
in stages ultimately up to 50,000 square feet. The consulting firm
hired by the Handley Library Board to provide a master plan for the
library through the year 2010 has estimated the construction costs, not
including land or library materials costs but including furniture and
equipment, would cost approximately $4,659,000. Books and other
library materials for an adequate opening day collection of around
80,000 items would cost almost $3,000,000. The recommended site of
the Frederick County Library is in the area east of Interstate 81 and
between Route 522 and Route 277.
Capital Cost: $465,856
Justification: The Handley Library currently has over 14,000
registered users from Frederick County. This number would rise
dramatically with a new, convenient location.
Construction Schedule: Begin planning and design activities in 1998-
1999, site preparation and construction for 1999-2000, and opening day
2000-2001.

RE: Informal Discussion with Mr. Ralph Gregory
DATE: January 6, 1995
Attached is a letter from Mr. Gregory requesting time on the Commission's agenda to
discuss a parcel currently zoned B-2 (Business General) which is situated on the west side
of Route 11 just south of the Route 37 interchange. The surrounding property is all zoned
B-2 except to the west which remains RA (Rural Areas).
Mr. Gregory and his partners have a prospective purchaser for a lot near the rear (western
portion) of their B-2 business park (which is currently vacant). The prospective user
requires B-3 zoning and desires visibility from Route 11. If the parcel in question is rezoned
to B-3 to accommodate the proposed use, then a category "B" buffer would be required
where the parcel adjoins B-2 zoning.
A "B" buffer requires either a 50 foot distance buffer with full landscape screen (includes
a six foot high opaque fence wall or berm), a 100 foot buffer with a landscaped screen
(same planting requirements as a full screen, but no fence required), or a 200 foot distance
buffer with no visual screen.
Because the user wants to be visible from Route 11 they do not wish to put in a visual
screen along the eastern edge of the site. They could avoid this by placing a 200 foot
distance buffer along the eastern side of the site, however, they feel this is excessive.
Attached is a copy of the site layout along with a vicinity map.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

RE: Informal Discussion Regarding Possible B-2 Rezoning for Veterinary Hospital
DATE: January 6, 1995
Attached is a letter form Mr. Bruce Welch, DVM discussing his desire to establish a
veterinary hospital on the east side of Route 647. The property where Mr. Welch would
like to locate is currently zoned RP (Residential Performance). B-2 (Business General)
zoning would be required.
Mr. Welch mentions that he would proffer out uses other than veterinary hospitals in
pursuing a rezoning.
The parcel in question is surrounded on three sides by RP zoning with B-2 zoning across
Aylor Road.
A plat of the parcel and location map are attached.
Please let me know if there are any questions regarding this item.

January 5, 1995
Dear Planning Commission,
My goal is to open a Veterinary Hospital offerring progressive medical
and surgical care on a property at 689 Aylor Road (647) near Stephens
City. While the property currently consists of 2.046 acres, I am
interested in utilizing approximately .7 acres that will require rezoning to
B-2. The purpose of appearing before the commission is to informally
introduce my project and discuss relevant concerns and questions we may
both need to consider.
The property is located on Aylor Road just past Fredericktown drive,
(between R. E. Aylor and Bass -Hoover) and has an exsisting 1 112 story
brick and shingle dwelling constructed in the 1g50's. My hope is to
construct an animal hospital beside this house which would be
approximately 50-60 feet in width and 40-50 feet in depth. It will be
single -story in design and have a professional appearance which will "fit
in" with the surrounding homes and will likely staff two veterinarians. I
have n o intentions of offerring boarding or kennel services. I also wish to
proffer the rezoned property for veterinary utilization to insure the
county and neighbors that the use of this property will remain constant
and have minimal affects upon traffic, outdoor lighting, and appearance of
this community.
I have enclosed a 5/13/91 survey map with an estimated location of
the affected area and would welcome the commissions opinions, ideas,
questions, and concerns. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Bruce E. Welch, DVM
