detached cluster development with a minimum of 8,000 s.f. lots.
2. Pursuant to an agreement with Stephens City, a public right of way will be
dedicated through Parcel #85 -A -142 from the existing right of way of Town
Run Lane (Rt. 1012) to the subject property's western boundary, generally as
shown on the General Development Plan. The applicant will grade the full
width of the right of way so as to accommodate an ultimate 4 -lane undivided
collector road. The applicant will construct 2 travel lanes, which would be
compatible to the ultimate 4 laning of the roadway, if the County and VDOT
should choose to proceed with such construction.
3. At the request of Frederick County or VDOT and at no cost to them, the
applicant or homeowners association shall dedicate area for an 80' right of
way along the southern boundary of the subject site; alignment of said right of
way shall be determined upon final engineering. The applicant or

site. Such a request may be made at any time for a period of 99 years from
the date of approval of the rezoning. In any event, neither the applicant, nor
the HOA will be prohibited from granting reasonable ingress /egress
easements to any properties located adjacent to the southern boundary.

shall dedicate such land at no cost to Frederick County. In any event, neither
the applicant, nor the HOA will be prohibited from granting reasonable
ingress /egress easements to any properties located adjacent to the southern
boundary.
5. No building permits will be issued for any residential units within the project
until such time as the improvements shown on the Stickley Drive extension
plans prepared by Gilbert W. Clifford Associates entitled "Stickley Dr.
Extension," dated 4/5/02 and revised through 12/20/02, have been
constructed and are open for traffic usage.
6. Prior to the issuance of any building permits for residential units within the
project, the applicant will construct improvements to the Fairfax Pike /Stickley
Drive intersection. These improvements will include a second thru travel lane
on Fairfax Pike, in both the east and westbound directions, an exclusive right
turn lane on eastbound Fairfax Pike, and an upgrading of northbound Stickley

Re: Meadows Edge
Proffer #7 Cash Contribution Interpretation Request
Dear Eric,
I am requesting an interpretation of Proffer #7
Proffer #7 requires certain improvements to the intersection of Route 277 and Stickley Drive and
either installation of a traffic signal Of not already built), modification of the signal (if already
constructed) or contribution to Frederick County for the signal if already constructed and no
modifications are necessary. Presently, the traffic signal has not been constructed nor designed.
Pursuant to our discussions, Frederick County and Centex Homes agree that Centex will make the
cash contribution to Frederick County in lieu of the signal design and installation. We have
previously agreed (in a letter dated 6/7/07, attached) that a portion of the $200,000.00 payment can be
offset by the value of certain additional improvements to Route 277. Attached you will find a copy of
a letter from Perry Engineering Company, Inc. (Contractor) to Centex Homes stating the value of the
additional widening ($37,625.00) has been paid in full. It is understood and agreed that sufficient
payment has been made to the Contractor and that upon deposit of the check to Frederick County for
the remaining amount ($162,375.00), the traffic signal and cash contribution portion of Proffer #7 is
fully satisfied.
Please sign the Seen and Agreed Block below indicating your acceptance of the above and confirming
our compliance with the intent of the traffic signal and cash contribution language of Proffer #7 for
Meadows Edge, and return one copy to me for my records.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this issue, ple se do not hesitate to call me.

Comments:
1) Proffer 2: "Pursuant to an agreement with Stephens City, a public right of way will be
dedicated through Parcel #85 -A -142 from the existing right of way of Town Run Lane
(Rt. 1012) to the subject property's western boundary, generally as shown on the General
Development Plan. The applicant will construct 2 travel lanes, which would be
compatible to the ultimate 4 laning of the roadway, if the County and VDOT should
choose to proceed with such construction
Concern A: There does not appear to be a guarantee that the proposed access road, from
Town Run Lane to the western boundary of the Racey Tract, will be constructed prior to
the road connections with the adjoining subdivisions. It may be appropriate to construct
the proposed access road prior to the issuance of any building permits. Concern addressed
in Proffer #2
Concern B: the phrase if the County and VDOT should choose to proceed with such
construction" adds some confusion to the intent of the sentence, which appears to be to
construct two lanes but grade for 4 lanes. It may be appropriate to provide a more
explicit statement. Comment addressed in Proffer 42
Concern C: The proffer statement does not state the width of the proffered public right
of -way through the Town of Stephen's City It may be appropriate to provide -at
least 80' of right of way. The current right -of -way agreement with the Town of Stephens
City provides for 70' of right -of -way. which is adequate for the proffered 4 -lane road
design: Additional right- of -wav for the trail is currently under negotiations with the
Town of Stephens City pursuant to the attached letter from Mike Kehoe, Town
Administrator. but cannot be proffered at this time per Scott Plein and Eric Lawrence
conversations.
2) Proffer 5: No building permits will be issued for any residential units within the
project until such time as the improvements shown on the Stickley Drive extension plans
prepared by Gilbert W. Clifford Associates entitled "Stickley Drive Extension dated
4/5/02 and revised through 12/20/02, have been constructed and are open for traffic
usage."
Concern A: The referenced plan appears to have an original preparation date of 4/2/02.
Concern addressed in Proffer 45
Concern B: This proffer does not guarantee any improvements to Town Run Lane from
where the Stickley Drive Extension ends to where the proposed access road through the
Stephens City Parcel begins. It may be appropriate to guarantee improvements to Town
Run Lane. Concern addressed in Proffer 46
3) Proffer 11: "Pursuant to the General Development Plan, a centrally located community
pool and bathhouse will be provided on approximately 1.4 acres of the site. This facility
will be constructed and available for use prior to the issuance of the 150th residential
building permit in the project. The pool will be constructed at a minimum size of 3,500
square feet. On a one -time basis, approximately 6 months prior to the start of the
construction of the pool facility, membership to the facility will be offered to property
owners in the adjoining Woodside Estates 1, Woodside Estates II, and Ridgefield
communities. Based on the number of additional memberships from the open
membership period, the applicant will increase the size of the pool if such increase is
warranted."
Concern A: If the development stops at 149 residential permits there does not appear to
be a guarantee in the proffer that a pool will be constructed. It may be appropriate to
provide such a guarantee for this facility. Concern addressed in Proffer 1113
4) Proffer 12: "A tennis court and sports court will be located within the 1.4 acres
associated with the community pool and bathhouse. These recreational areas will be
constructed and available for use prior to the issuance of the 150th residential building
permit of the project."
Concern A: As with the proffered pool and bathhouse, it may be appropriate to provide a
guarantee that these facilities will be built if development stops at the 149th building
permit. Concern addressed in Proffer 1114
5) Proffer 17: "No lots nor structures shall be permitted within 200' of the southern
boundary adjacent to the Agricultural District."
Concern A: The proffer leaves it open to interpretation if the 200' no build area is solely
on the southern boundary of the portion of the parcel being rezoned or along the entire
southern boundary of the parcel, including the 26.5 areas proposed to remain RA (Rural
Areas) District. It may be appropriate to clarify this. It may also be appropriate that this
no build area not apply to the 26.5 acres proposed to remain RA District, if transferred to
Frederick County in the future. Concern addressed in Proffer #19
6) Proffer 20: "The applicant will provide and construct a five -foot sidewalk along the
east side of the Town Run Lane ROW on the Stephens City property from the northern
side of the collector road's intersection with the Town Run Lane to the property's
northern boundary. This sidewalk is conditional based on the approval of the Town of
Stephens City to provide an easement for such sidewalk"
Concern A: It may be appropriate to clarify that the cost for providing the easement for
the sidewalk shall be paved for entirely by the developer Concern addressed in Proffer
#22
7) Proffer 21: "The applicant shall construct a hard surface pedestrian /bicycle trail 10' in
width from Rt. 1012 (Town Run Lane), to the proposed sidewalk located within the
proposed development. This trail is conditional based on the approval of the Town of
Stephens City to provide an easement for such trail."
Concern A: I f the Town of Stephens City does not provide an easement for such trail then
Mere does not appear to 'be a guarantee that the trail will constructed. It may be
appropriate that if the Town of Stephens City does not grant an easement for the trail then
the trail will be designed to VDOT specifications and approval and constructed within the
VDOT right -of -way. Proffer 423 has been amended as Proffer #22. Pursuant to the
aforementioned Proffer #2, concern "C" the applicant is working in good faith with the
Town of Stephens City to get additional right-of-way and provide for the most beneficial
trail design.
8) Construction Traffic.
Concern A: There is no proffer which would restrict construction vehicles from accessing
the property through the adjoining subdivisions. It may be appropriate for construction
vehicles to only access the property via the access road from Town Run Lane through the
Town of Stephens City property. Concern addressed in Proffer #10
