C OE. /Et.ORMENT PLEASE REPLY TO: P. 0. Box 848 WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22604-0848 I have reviewed the above referenced Proposed Proffer Statement. It is my opinion that the Proposed Proffer Statement is in a form to meet the requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance and the Code of Virginia, and is legally sufficient as a proffer statement, subject to the following: 1. The Rezoning Number should be inserted at the beginning of the Proposed Proffer Statement. 2. The second sentence of the second paragraph, which reads "The improvements proffered herein shall be provided at the time of development of that portion of the Property adjacent to or including the improvement or other proffered requirement, unless otherwise specified herein should be deleted. The timing of the respective proffers in this Proposed Proffer Statement should be set forth in the individual proffer item. Michael T. Ruddy, AICP April 4, 2005 Page 2 RTM /ks HALL, NAHAN, ENGLE, MAHAN &MITCHELL 3. In Proffer No. 2.2, the time of the installation of the landscaped corridor buffer should be set forth, perhaps providing that the installation occur prior to the issuance of the first occupancy permit, or at such earlier time as the staff determines to be appropriate. Also, this proffer should provide for County staff approval of the landscaping design, unless staff feels that existing zon ing ordinance landscaping regulations are sufficient to control the design. I have not reviewed the substance of the proffers as to whether the proffers are suitable and appropriate for this specific site, as it is my understanding that that review will be done by the staff and the Planning Commission.

Mohn prom: Funkhouser, Rhonda Rhonda .Funkhouser @VDOT.Virginia.govj on behalf of Ingram, Lloyd Lloyd.ingram @VDOT.Virginia.gov] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 1:56 PM To: 'christopher.mohn @phra.com' Cc: Ingram, Lloyd; Eric Lawrence (E -mail) Subject: Marathon Bank TIA Review (Route 50 and Ward Avenue, Frederick County) The Edinburg Residency has completed the review of the TIA for the Marathon Bank rezoning proposal submitted by PHR A and offers the following comments: VDOT agrees that at the proposed build -out, the site will generate approximately 1716 trips per day. This will mean an additional 3% increase on the intersection volumes. VDOT agrees that the level of service of the Route 50 and Ward Avenue intersection will remain at a "D" or better due to the small increase in volume. VDOT will require right turn lane tapers and decel lanes contrary to the reports conclusions. VDOT reviewed the proposal and its limited impact on the existing traffic volumes and projected levels of service. VDOT did not find a reasonable way for the developer to improve the intersection level of service above a Level "D Thus, VDOT will remain neutral on the recommendation of this proposal and leave the decision of approval to the Board of Supervisors. r.` d A.

According to the Rural Landmarks Survey, there are no significant historic structures located on the properties nor are there any possible historic districts in the vicinity. It was also noted that the National Park Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley does not identify any core battlefields that this proposed rezoning would directly impact. These properties arc within the study area of the Second Battle of Winchester; however, it is in an area of lost integrity. Thank you for the chance to comment on this application.

Piccadilly Street, Suite 200 Winchester, VA 22601 RE: Proposed Rezoning of Marathon Bank/Route 50 West Property Submitted for Preliminary Review: November 12, 2004 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000 FILE COPY COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/665 -5651 FAX: 540/665 -6395 I have had the opportunity to review the draft rezoning application for the Marathon Bank/Route 50 West Property. The rezoning application seeks to rezone 1.0 acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to the B2 (Business General) District. Staffs review comments are listed below for your consideration. 1. General Comments. The key to implementing the entire Round Hill Community Plan is the provision of public water and sewer. It is critical that this development enable the continuation of water and sewer lines to adjacent areas in Round Hill. This project could facilitate the provision of sewer and water to Ward Avenue, the Candy Hill Campground and the 7 -11 on Route 50. I would also encourage the planning of this site as part of a wider area that includes the adjacent Funkhouser/Poe properties. This would allow for shared access points and inter parcel connectors. 2. Surveyed Plat. Please supply a surveyed plat of the subject properties, which shows all property lines and proposed zoning boundary lines. Metes and bounds should be provided to verify exact locations of lots and zoning boundaries. 3. Deed. The only deed provided was for the Marathon Bank property. Please also provide a copy of the deeds for the Francis properties. 4. Deed. The PIN numbers on the Marathon Bank deed (040018770) are incorrect. The correct PIN numbers are 53B -3 -5 and 53B -3 -6. 5. Verification that taxes have been paid. Please provide a receipt from the Treasurer's office which verifies that real estate taxes for the properties have been paid. Page 2 Mr. C. E. Maddox, Jr. RE: Proposed Rezoning of Marathon Bank/Route 50 West Property January 14, 2005 6. Adjacent parcels. Adjoining parcel 53 -A -68 is zoned B2 (Business General) and MS (Medical Support). Please correct'the text and maps. The address for the property owners of adjacent parcel 53 A 82 (Funkhouser/Poe) does not match the address shown in the Planning Department database. Please verify the address with the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, Real Estate Division. 7. Impact Assessment Statement. A. Introduction. It its unclear how the site could accommodate up to four drive through lanes. Please provide greater details on this aspect. B. Comprehensive Policy Plan. The site falls within Phase One of the Round Hill Community Land Use Plan. The proposed use (bank/office) is generally in conformance with that plan. a. While the site is wholly within the Sewer and Water Service Area, the Round Hill Plan states that business /office development would require the extension of public sewer and water. The extension of public sewer and water will need to be verified. Continuation of sewer and water to nearby sites in Round Hill (including the future line on Ward Avenue) should be enabled, not hindered, by this development b. The Round Hill Plan clearly states that commercial establishments should front feeder roads which connect to Route 50 at signalized intersections. This discourages individual business entrances on Route 50 both for aesthetic reasons as well as transportation efficiency. The proposed right in only entrance on Route 50 is therefore contrary to the Round Hill Plan. It would be advantageous to consider ajoint entrance with the adjacent Funkhouser /Poe properties. These adjacent sites include an eight acre parcel and a one acre parcel further to the west, both in the same ownership. Should a joint entrance be secured further west on the Funkhouser/Poe property, it might be possible to achieve a right in and right out access point for a number of adjacent, inter connected parcels. c. The Round Hill Plan calls for standards to minimize the visual disruption to the Route 50 corridor. The Plan calls for discreet signage with a maximum 10% of facade area. A monument sign is recommended if a free standing sign is sought. The Plan also calls for a green space along Route 50, which might include a bike or walking trail. In addition, the Plan calls for screening of structure and parking areas, controlling the size. Page 3 Mr. C. E. Maddox, Jr. RE: Proposed Rezoning of Marathon Bank/Route 50 West Property January 14, 2005 number and location of signs. and requiring underground utilities. All of these design considerations should be taken into consideration, and may be appropriate as proffers to implement the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. d. The Frederick County Bicycle Plan designates Route 50 as a short-term designated route. As a 10' linear trail is planned on the north side of Route 50, it might be more appropriate to provide a sidewalk on the south side of Route 50. C. Suitability of the Site. Individual entrances on Route 50 are not in keeping with the Round Hill Plan (see above). The full two way entrance on Ward Avenue is in keeping with the Round Hill Plan. D. Transportation. A complete traffic impact analysis was not provided with this draft rezoning. Therefore staff is unable to provide transportation comments at this time. Clearly the TIA will need to take account of the nearby WWW, LC development and the Winchester Medical Center West Campus development. Staff had previously identified that a new TIA would be required for this property given the significant development occurring in this area. Also, it is unclear how the intersection of Route 50 and Ward Avenue will be configured at this site. For instance, the right turn land in front of this site on Route 50 appears to end and not provide a clear turn onto Ward Avenue. Please provide greater details. E. Impact on Community Facilities. Please include a copy of the Capital Facilities Impact Model summary (output module). 8. Proposed Proffer Statement (Including Generalized Development Plan). A. Drive Through. The Generalized Development Plan does not show a drive through, although this is mentioned in the text of the application. It is unclear how a drive through could be accommodated on this site. Please provide details. B. J0' Landscaped Corridor Buffer. Proffer 2.2 calls for a 10' landscaped corridor buffer with mixed ornamental plantings. This does not include the shade trees that are required by the ordinance as perimeter landscaping for parking lots. (The Round Hill Plan also calls for shade trees on both sides of the street.) The proffer should be restated to provide landscaping that is in addition to ordinance requirements, not landscaping as a substitute to Sincerely, Susan K. Eddy, A1CP Senior Planner SKE /dlw Page 4 Mr. C. E. Maddox. Jr. RE: Proposed Rezoning of Marathon Bank/Route 50 West Property January 14, 2005 minimum ordinance requirements. I would also point that the ordinance requires a minimum of 15% of a B2 site to be landscaped. C. Adjacent Property. The GDP shows the use of the Holliday property as vacant. This is incorrect. There is a residence on that property. Therefore, a B Category buffer is required by ordinance. Also, plans should indicate the distance between the property to be rezoned and this residence. 9. Agency Comments. Please provide appropriate agency comments from the following agencies: Frederick County Attorney, Historic Resources Advisory Board, Virginia Department of Transportation, Frederick County Department of Public Works, Frederick County Fire Marshall, Frederick County Department of Parks and Recreation, Frederick County Sanitation Authority, Frederick- Winchester Health Department, City of Winchester, Round Hill Fire and Rescue Company and the Frederick- Winchester Service Authority. 10. Fees. The fee for this application includes a $1,000.00 base fee plus $50.00 per acre, and a $50.00 public hearing sign fee. Thus, a total of $1,100.00 is due upon submission of the official rezoning application. This is based on fees as at January 12, 2005. Fees may change. 11. Special Limited Power of Attorney. Please have the property owners complete the special limited power of attorney form which authorizes you to represent them during the application process. All of the above comments should be appropriately addressed, and a T1A submitted, before staff can accept this rezoning application. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions regarding this application. IV. AGENCY COMMENTS Marathon Bank Route 50 West Rezoning
