PUBLIC' MEETING
Rezoning #07 -12 of O -N Minerals d /b /a Carmeuse Lime & Stone'arid Frederiek County Parks &r
`Recreation Department to revise proffers associated with Rezoning #01 -11. This revision
specifically relates toy Section 2.1 of the, j- Site Development. The properties are located at
$08 Quarry .Lane, 3004 Martinsburg .Pike,"and 3180, Martinsburg -R_ ike.. The subject parcels are
located .between the intersections ,of Route 14,with'B.rucetown Road (Rt. 672), and: with Walters Mill.
Lane, (Rt. 836). The properties are further identified with P.I.N.s 44 -A -83, 44- A -83A, and 33 -A -144
(portion of) in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
Action = Recommended, Approval
Planning Director, Eric R. Lawrence,. reported this request is a minor proffer revision and
does not represent a significant impact oil this project. Mr. Lawrence explained that when this rezoning
was approved. in.December of 201 1, one of the. proffers approved'. with. the package addressed installing a
landscape buffer. along Route :11 going, north towards the: Clearbrook. Park. He pointed out an area
containing a baseball park .and two ;parking 'lots which has been leased from the quarry. by Frederick
County for the past 30 -40 years. He aaid, the quarry and Frederick County :Parks & Recreation. have
partnered to make this baseball park available to the community. Mr. Lawrence said the issue is the
tinning of planting the landscape. buffer adjacent to those areas currently leased and used by Frederick
County as a ballpark and a c'itizen's' convenient center.. He said the proffer revision would allow the
applicant the ability to delay -the installation of the proffered buffer. °until "one year after Carmeuse
terminates its agreement with Frederick County , for the use of: the ' leased area:
Commissioner Oates asked if it would be appropriate for: the applicant to also amend
• proffered condition 6.1, Traffic, regarding no,eiitrances onRoute 11, because there is an existing entrance
going into the landfill's convenience; site and -,the baseball diamond. Mr. Lawrence agreed, it would be
appropriate simply for clarification purposes, although it is not in the proffer.revision being discussed.
No other' issues or areas'of concern were rai "sed'.
Commissioner, Oates made a motion to recommend approval-''of Rezoning #07 -12 of 0 -N
:Minerals d /b /a Carmeuse Lime & Stone :and .Frederick County Parks & Recreation Department to revise
proffers associated with Rezoning #01 -11, specifically Section 2.1 Site .Development, as well, as an
additional recommendation that the -existinv- entrance into the baseball fields, be exempt, from proffered
condition 6.1, Traffic; while the site is being used by the Department of Parks & Recreation. This motion.

DISCUSSION
Comprehensive.Pol�cy Plan Amendment, CPPA 401 -12, Lord Fairfax Com.munity'College (LFCC)/
Middletown Sewer & Water - Service Area (SWSA).. A;request'by LFCC to include land owned by
the LFCC Foundation "into the SWSA to .enable the provision of public water and sewer initiated
this proposed amendment. The resulting amendment "proposes the establishment of a SWSA that
encompasses LFCC and, _the adjacent ,Middletown -Elementary School and also proposes I an
institutional land'. use designation for the area. Water and sewer would continue to be provided by
the. Town of Middletown and, the City of Winchester, respectively.
Planning Director,,'Eric R. Law, rence, reported that the Lord Fairfax Community College
(LFCC) approached the Board of Supervisors about utilizing public water and sewer for the development
of buildings on property owned by the. Lord. Fairfax Community College Foundation. In addition to the
property owned by the State of Virginia, which is home, to the college, the LFCC Foundation owns
approximately 20 acres in two parcels. Mr. Lawrence said this discussion` item, which was reviewed "last
week by the Comprehensive Plans &,Programs Committee (CPPC), has two phases.. He said the first
phase will be discussed this�evening and the.second phase will come.aVa, later point; however,�he intended
to provide the Planning Commission with an overview of both - phases this evening:
Mr. Lawrence explairied that since the LFCC is a. State facility, they have been able to
expand under State regulations, and was not'required -to adhere -to the 'Zoning and `Comprehensive. Plan
Policies of Frederick County. 'However, the most recent initi'ati've of the community college is being
•
constructed by a foundation ofLFCC and is, not a part,of the State exemption •process. He said tliis'is the
.reason why LFCC is working with the - County at -this point. Mr. Lawren cesaid when this process initially
started, the focus was centered on the LFCC site and the, LFCC .Foundation properties; however, the
vision has since been slightly expanded to, include the.area north ,of Middletown. Mr. Lawrence said the
LFCC would like to expand their facility to include.a.student union which the:Found`ation would build on
an adjacent property owned by the. Foundation. He said the challenge they've run . into with the
Comprehensive Plan is' that in 'order to facilitate the Student Union center; _they need to access public-
water.arid sewer. The LFCC currently utilizes'public water from the City. of Winchester and public sewer
services ,from the `Town'of Middletown. As a State. agency, LFCC was permitted to do this; however,
with the non= profit foundation stepping forward, we want to make sure they are conforming to County
- policy. Mrs Lawrence stated Frederick County does not have public water and sewer in this area, nor is
there a'policy that allows and supports public water and sewer in this, area; therefore, a Comprehensive
Policy Plan Ainendinent was proposed to. consider the SWSA for the community college and the
proposed student union and this' was taken to the Comprehensive Plan Committee.
Mr. Lawrence stated the Comprehensive' Plan Coiiimittee discussed this :last week and
believed, that not only should the County be looking at the community college -and the student union, but
they. - believed there was'A need to look,at.an expanded area: Mr...Lawrence.pointed out the expanded
study area marked in red and - designated as Phase II. However, for this evening.'s discussion, the Phase'I
request is for the area. outlined in green and cross = hatched; which includes the community college, the
student union, and the Middletown Elementary School.

Mr. Lawrence. indicated that for this first phase ofithe LF. CC expansion, the staff drafted a
Comprehensive Policy Plan text to support a"SWSA - expansion for the continuation and expansion ofthe
institutional uses that have `historically been located in this area.., He .said. this draft has received the
support of the CPPC and. has also received support" from the Board. of .Supervisors last. week. Mr.
Lawrence said the initial phase consists of'approximately 1,38.36 acres consisting- of five parcels. The
138.36 acres could continue to: be used for institutional: =uses and would be enabled to tap into the pub'l'ic
Water and sewer that is available via the City of 'Winchester and the Town oflVliddletown. Mr. Lawrence
stated that at the Board of Su.pervisdr §s - discussion lastweek, Board members said they would like to see
the Frederick County Sanitation. Authority.(FCSA) involved .in some of the water and se.wer.management
of this area. He noted that. although the FCSA has not,been, involved in this particular location; the staff is
having discussions with them. He said that when this item comes, back to, the Commission as a public
hearing, the staff' anticipates having. `more information from FCSA, as staff attempts to address the
Board's comments.
Commissioner Unger inquired if -there was a projected ;amount of water usage .for, when
this project is built out.
Mr. Chris. Boies, Vice President of the Office of Financial and Administrative Services
for LFCC, came forward to answer,Commissioner Unger's question. Mr. Boies said the proposed project
is a 32,000 sq. ft. student; union. He °did not have the estimated•ainount of -water usage.; however, he said
their engineering firm had discussions with the City of Winchester :and' the City has agreed they could
serve this building. Mr. ; Boies ;added: their structure will have a fitness center and there will be shower
facilities within The building.
Commissioner.Manuel' asked if the cross - hatched . area within the green border was to be
considered the official institutional delineation. Mr. Lawrence replied yes; he said the intent of the Phase
I proposal was for SWSA expansion, .as `well as institutional designation.' Commissioner Manuel next
asked foi-..clarification'of permitted..uses .within the Phase 2 red ,area,. he asked if only institutional uses
would -be permitted. within the red area. ;Mr. Lawrence stated the Phase 2 -red area is not actually being
,considered this, evening because LFCG has an aggressive .construction plan and wants to move forward
with their project this winter, Mr.. Lawrence said the County is - moving forward with only the Phase. I
area at this time and the red area will continue to be ,studied at the committee level. He added the initial
thoughts about the red area is it probably should be a business development phase, which supports
technology and the community coIlegecampus, but not residential..
Commissioner Thomas believed the project was a_good idea, which benefits the County,
and supports a growing institution. Commissioner Thomas believed the request should be,moved.forward
as: soon as. possible.
Chairman Wilmot' believed the area outside of the hatching could be classified as Higher
.Education; but written,similarly to the Hospital District, where there area variety of uses within the area
that would benefit-, the County and the institution as well She suggested it may be cleaner 'than just
classifying it as institutional.
Mr-.. Lawrence said he would forward the Commission's comments forward to the CPPC
and the-Board of Supervisors.
