Senseny Village Rezoning
This report has been prepared for the purpose of assessing the impact on Fredrick County
by the proffered rezoning of two parcels comprising a total of 73.79 acres, a 49.70 -acre
parcel owned by Hazel C. Lambert and a 24.09 -acre parcel owned by Taylor Grace, LLC.
The subject properties are accessed from Senseny Road (Route 657) via both Rossum
Lane (Route 736) and a previously planned connection from Twin Brook Circle (Route
867) to Glenridge Drive (Route 868). The current zoning of the 24.09 -acre parcel is RP,
Residential Performance District without proffers, while the current zoning of the 49.70
acre parcel is RA, Rural Areas District. The applicant proposes to rezone the 49.70 -acre
Lambert parcel to RP, Residential Performance District with proffers and to retain the
RP, Residential Performance District designation for the 24.09 -acre Taylor Grace, LLC
property and include proffers that will be applicable to this property. The subject
properties will be master planned together for the purpose of creating the Senseny Village
residential subdivision. This project is proffered to not exceed a total build out of 285
residential units, of which, 145 units are intended to be single family detached dwelling
units and 140 units are intended to be townhouse dwelling units. The project is proffered
to be developed as a minimum four -year phased build out.
A Master Development Plan was approved for the Glenmont Village Subdivision in
1985, which was revised in 1989. The approved Master Development Plan identified
Glenmont Village as being developed within eight sections. To date, Sections 1 -7 have
been developed under the single family detached cluster ordinance. The land associated
with Section 8 was acquired by Taylor Grace, LLC as a separate parcel of land that is not
encumbered by any provisions or legal documents associated with the Glenmont Village
Subdivision. Therefore, it has been determined that a Preliminary Master Development
Plan will be required for the 24.09 -acre Taylor Grace, LLC parcel as an exhibit with the
Senseny Village Rezoning Application to demonstrate that Section 6 of the adjacent
Glenmont Village Subdivision is provided with an appropriate open space buffer, which
is further committed to on the proffered Generalized Development Plan for Senseny
Village.

RP, Residential Performance District with proffers
73.79 -acres
The proposed site is being developed in conformance with the land use policies of the
Comprehensive Policy Plan. The subject area is within the Urban Development Area
(UDA) and Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). The Comprehensive Policy Plan
states suburban residential land use will occur in the UDA.
A Master Development Plan was initially approved for the Glenmont Village Subdivision
in 1985. This Master Development Plan was approved for the development of single
family detached dwelling units and multiplex dwelling units within eight sections. In
1989, this Master Development Plan was revised to eliminate the multiplex dwelling
units that were previously approved in Section 7 of Glenmont Village, and to identify
Sections 1 -8 as single family detached dwelling units.
The Glenmont Village Master Development Plan identified Section 8 as containing 12.05
acres of open space and did not identify the land area within lots and road right -of -way.
The RP, Residential Performance District standards that were in place when the
Glenmont Village Master Development Plan was approved called for a maximum
woodland disturbance of 25% for the gross area of the site and for a maximum
disturbance of 25% of steep slope areas. The legally recorded deed restrictions for the
Glenmont Village Subdivision state that the Master Development Plan may be revised
and do not require the Glenmont Village Home Owners Association to maintain or be
liable for any portion of the acreage within the approved Master Development Plan that
has not been dedicated to the HOA.
The land area associated with what is identified as Section 8 on the approved Glenmont
Village Master Development Plan has not been developed to date, nor has the land area
been dedicated for the use or maintenance of the Glenmont Village Home Owners
Association. This land area, totaling 24.09 acres was sold by the previous developer to
Taylor Grace, LLC. Taylor Grace, LLC proposes to utilize this land area within the
Senseny Village Subdivision. Therefore, it has been determined by the County that a
Preliminary Master Development Plan will need to be created to demonstrate the
proposed development plan for this portion of Senseny Village. This approach, coupled
with the proffered Senseny Village Generalized Development Plan has been determined
Greenway Engineering
to be an appropriate approach for severing the 24.09 -acre parcel from the approved
Glenmont Village Master Development Plan.
A Preliminary Master Development Plan Exhibit has been prepared and submitted for
review as information with the Senseny Village Rezoning Application. This Exhibit
identifies that there will be a minimum of 11.55 acres of open space that is designed to
provide for an adequate buffer against Section 6 of Glenmont Village. This open space
area is located to preserve the mature woodland areas that adjoin Glenmont Village and is
further proffered to be preserved to protect the existing subdivision. Furthermore, the
Senseny Village Proffer Statement calls for the creation of a no- disturbance easement to
protect the natural drainageways and upland slope areas on the 24.09 -acre parcel.
A. SUITABILITY OF THE SITE
Access
Tax parcels 65- ((A)) -49B and 65- ((A)) -55 are accessible from Senseny Road (Route 657)
via Rossum Lane (Route 736), which currently terminates in a cul -de -sac at the northwest
corner of the subject property. Rossum Lane is to be extended into the property as a
VDOT maintained street. Access is provided from Senseny Road via Twinbrook Circle
(Route 867) to Glenridge Drive (Route 868). This access point off Glenridge Drive
utilizes a platted inter parcel connection that was established to provide access to the
Taylor Grace, LLC property.
Flood Plains
The subject site is located on the FEMA NFIP map #510063- 0120 -B. The entire subject
property is located "Zone C The FEMA NFIP map identifies "Zone C" as "area outside
the 100 -year flood plain
Wetlands

Revised June 14, 2005
Senseny Village Rezoning
The County GIS database identifies one wetland area on the 49.70 -acre parcel, which is a
manmade impoundment. The existing pond will be drained and filled. The probability of
additional on -site wetlands exists associated with the natural drainageways and tributary
to the Opequon Creek. A detailed wetlands delineation study will occur on the subject
property subsequent to rezoning approval and will be identified as a component of the
Final Master Development Plan for Senseny Village.
Steep Slopes
There are no steep slopes (50% or greater) on the subject site; however, there is a defined
drainage channel that traverses tax parcel 65 -((A)) -49B which channels stormwater
drainage from the Carper farm on the west side of Greenwood Road through this site to

the Opequon Creek. The design for crossing this drainage channel to access the
southernmost residential land bay will minimize impacts to critical slope areas and the
drainage channel.
The Senseny Village Proffer Statement provides for the preservation of the natural
drainageways and upland slope areas within the project site with the exception of
necessary road and utility crossings. This approach will allow for the protection of these
areas that are no loner defined as steep slope; however, are still important to the integrity
of environmental features that are located on -site.
Mature Woodlands
Woodland areas exist on the subject property, as well as open fields and scrub brush. It is
anticipated that these areas will be impacted by the future development of road systems,
utility infrastructure and residential structures. The Master Development Plan and
Subdivision Design Plan for Senseny Village will meet the requirements of the Frederick
County Zoning Ordinance that was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in April 2003.
The Senseny Village Proffer Statement calls for a 10 -foot no disturbance easement along
the rear lot lines of all single family lots that adjoin Glenmont Village and the residential
lots along Rossum Lane, Broad Avenue and Mason Street. Additionally, a no-
disturbance easement of 50 feet is provided against the residential Tots within Section 6 of
Glenmont Village.
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 37, and contains the following soil types:
Table 5 on page 123 of the Soil Survey of Frederick County identifies 3B Blairton silt
loam as prime farmland soils. The first four soil types are identified as gently sloping to
moderately steep, shallow and moderately deep, well- drained soils that have a medium
textured or fine textured subsoil. The last, 41E, is moderately deep, steep and very steep,
well- drained soils on side slopes and ridges.

The subject properties are accessible from Senseny Road (Route 657) via both Rossum
Lane (Route 736) and Twin Brook Circle (Route 867) to Glenridge Drive (Route 868).
Senseny Road is identified as a major collector road and has excellent sight distance to
the east and west at the Senseny Road intersections of both Rossum Lane and Twin
Brook Circle. Channing Drive, approximately a mile to the west, will be completed to
provide access to Valley Mill Road (Route 659), while Greenwood Road (Route 656),
approximately 144 miles to the west provides access to Berryville Pike (Route 7) and to
Millwood Pike (Route 50 East).
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been prepared for the Senseny Village community by
Patton Harris Rust, which is dated November 19, 2004 and included as a component of
the Impact Analysis Statement. The TIA assumes the total build out of 285 residential
units (145 single family /140 townhouse) as a single transportation phase by year 2010.
The TIA provides for a Level of Service (LOS) analysis for AM and PM peak hour traffic
volumes, as well as Average Daily Trip volumes for existing, background and build out
conditions. The TIA studies Senseny Road and its intersections with Twinbrook Circle,
Rossum Lane, Channing Drive and Greenwood Road.
Figure 9 on page 12 of the TIA concludes that all intersection points with Senseny Road
maintain an acceptable Level of Service "C" average condition assuming future
background traffic and the complete build -out of Senseny Village. Only one movement
at the Twinbrook Circle intersection with Senseny Road is identified as a Level of
Service "D" during PM peak hour conditions. The TIA recommends that the installation
of a right turn lane on Senseny Road to the Twinbrook Road intersection will raise the
Level of Service to an acceptable LOS "C" during PM peak hour conditions. The
installation of this right turn lane, as well as the installation of a right turn lane on
Senseeny Road at the intersection of Rossum Lane has been proffered to be installed
prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Senseny Village. Furthermore, the

applicants have proffered a monetary contribution totaling a potential maximum
amount of $1.145 million dollars for improvements to the Senseny Road /Route 7
Connector Road and /or the proposed Route 37 Bypass and to completely reconstruct
Rossum Lane to standards acceptable to VDOT. The transportation improvements and
monetary contributions provided for in the applicants proffer statement more than
mitigates the transportation impacts associated with this rezoning application.
D. SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT
The subject property is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) boundaries. Existing 12" and 8" sanitary sewer
mains are located on this property as is the Burning Knolls Pumping Station. The
Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) has a sewer transmission line that directs
sewage effluent to the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility. The on -site sewer
infrastructure required to convey effluent to the treatment facility will be developed by
the applicants to standards acceptable to the FCSA for future operation and maintenance.
The impact of rezoning the subject property can be based on comparable discharge
patterns of 225 GPD for residential use. The figures below represent the impact that the
total build out of the proffered 285 residential units (145 single family /140 townhouse)
will have on the sewage conveyance and treatment systems.
Q 225 GPD per household
Q 225 GPD x 285 residential units
Q 64,125 GPD projected at total residential build out
The proposed rezoning is projected to increase flows to the Opequon Water Reclamation
Facility by 64,125 GPD at total build out. The design capacity of the treatment plant is
8.4 MGD, of which approximately 6.4 MGD is currently being utilized. The total build
out of Senseny Village would require approximately 3% of the available capacity that
currently exists at this treatment facility. The applicants' have proffered to develop the
Senseny Village community through a phased plan, which limits the number of building
permits that can be obtained on an annual basis. This phasing plan limits development to
a maximum of 70 -75 residential lots through calendar year 2008. Adequate capacity for
sewage conveyance and treatment will be available throughout the development of the
Senseny Village project; therefore, this rezoning proposal will not negatively impact this
facility.

Senseny Village Rezoning
The subject property is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) boundaries. Water is readily available to the
subject development through the extension of existing lines on adjacent properties. The
Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) has an 8" water line along Rossum Lane
and an 8" water line is stubbed at the subject property line along the undeveloped street
right -of -way off Glenridge Drive. Water service will be provided from the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant and the North Water Filtration Plant. These systems
currently provide approximately 6 MGD. The on -site water infrastructure required to
convey potable water to the proposed residential lots in the Senseny Village community
will be developed by the applicants to standards acceptable to the FCSA for future
operation and maintenance.
The impact of rezoning the 73.79 -acre site can be based on comparable water usage of
275 GPD for residential use. The figures below represent the impact that the total build
out of the proffered 285 residential units (145 single family /140 townhouse) will have on
the water supply and treatment systems.
Q 275 GPD per household
Q 275 GPD x 285 residential units
Q 78,375 GPD projected at total residential build out
The projected water usage for the proposed rezoning is 78,375 GPD at total build out.
This projection represents approximately 1% of the unutilized capacities at the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant and the North Water Filtration Treatment Plant. Therefore,
the available water source and infrastructure is adequate to accommodate the capacity
needs of the proposed 73.79 -acre residential development at total build out.
The dominant drainage pattern for the 73.79 -acre site is to the east, running along the
southern boundary of tax parcel 65- ((A)) -55 and through the central portion of tax parcel
65- ((A)) -49B through an unnamed tributary that drains to the Opequon Creek. Senseny
Village will be designed with curb and gutter lined streets, which will convey storm
water through an underground storm sewer system. Storm water management will be
designed in accordance with all applicable state and local storm water management
requirements and erosion and sedimentation control requirements. The design of the
stormwater management system will occur during the subdivision design process, and
will require approval by the Frederick County Engineer and the Virginia Department of
Transportation. Furthermore, the design for crossing this drainage channel to access the
southernmost residential land bay will minimize impacts to critical slope areas and the
drainage channel to ensure that this drainage channel is not negatively impacted.

Senseny Village Rezoning
The impact on solid waste disposal facilities can be projected from an average annual
residential consumption of 5.4 cubic yards per household (Civil Engineering Reference
Manual, 4 edition). The following figures show the increase in average annual volume
based on the 285 residential units (145 single family /140 townhouse) that is projected to
develop over a 4 -year period:
AV 5.4 Cu. Yd. per household
AV 5.4 Cu. Yd. x 285 households
AV 1,539 Cu. Yd. at residential build out, or 1,077 tons /yr 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 4 -year build out of the
subject site will generate on average 1,077 tons of solid waste annually following the
proffered four year phased build -out of Senseny Village. This represents a 0.13%
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, which can be
accommodated by this regional facility. The applicants have proffered to provide
community trash collection service for all residential land uses within Senseny Village.
This proffer provides revenues to the regional landfill in tipping fees and significantly
reduces impacts to the Greenwood Road Citizen Convenience Center. Therefore, the
proffers associated with the Senseny Village project adequately mitigate the impacts to
solid waste disposal.
H. HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES
The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey does not identify any existing structures
on or near the subject property as potentially significant. Furthermore, there are no
structures in the vicinity that qualify for the national or state register of historic places,
nor does the subject site fall within core battlefield area boundaries or areas that would
potentially qualify as historic districts.
I. IMPACT ON COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The Frederick County Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model has been prepared for the
proposed rezoning of the subject property based on a proffered 285 residential units (145
single family /140 townhouse). The results of the Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model
identify that the build out of the Senseny Village community will create a negative fiscal
impact of $8,987.00 for each residential unit. The applicants' proffer statement provides
a monetary contribution to Frederick County in the amount of $10,000.00 for each

mitigate the fiscal impacts to County services. Furthermore, the applicants have
proffered a monetary contribution totaling a potential maximum amount of $1.145
million dollars for improvements to the Senseny Road/Route 7 Connector Road
and /or the proposed Route 37 Bypass to assist with regional transportation impacts in
this geographic area of the County.

Q 64,125 GPD projected at total residential build out
Senseny Village Rezoning
The proposed rezoning is projected to increase flows to the Opequon Water Reclamation
Facility by 64,125 GPD at total build out. The design capacity of the treatment plant is
8.4 MGD, of which approximately 6.4 MGD is currently being utilized. The total build
out of Senseny Village would require approximately 3% of the available capacity that
currently exists at this treatment facility. The applicants' have proffered to develop the
Senseny Village community through a phased plan, which limits the number of building
permits that can be obtained on an annual basis. This phasing plan limits development to
a maximum of 70 -75 residential lots through calendar year 2008. Adequate capacity for
sewage conveyance and treatment will be available throughout the development of the
Senseny Village project; therefore, this rezoning proposal will not negatively impact this
facility.
The subject property is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) boundaries. Water is readily available to the
subject development through the extension of existing lines on adjacent properties. The
Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) has an 8" water line along Rossum Lane
and an 8" water line is stubbed at the subject property line along the undeveloped street
right -of -way off Glenridge Drive. Water service will be provided from the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant and the North Water Filtration Plant. These systems
currently provide approximately 6 MGD. The on -site water infrastructure required to
convey potable water to the proposed residential lots in the Senseny Village community
will be developed by the applicants to standards acceptable to the FCSA for future
operation and maintenance.
The impact of rezoning the 73.79 -acre site can be based on comparable water usage of
275 GPD for residential use. The figures below represent the impact that the total build
out of the proffered 285 residential units (145 single family /140 townhouse) will have on
the water supply and treatment systems.
Q 275 GPD per household
Q 275 GPD x 285 residential units
Q 78,375 GPD projected at total residential build out
The projected water usage for the proposed rezoning is 78,375 GPD at total build out.
This projection represents approximately 1% of the unutilized capacities at the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant and the North Water Filtration Treatment Plant. Therefore,
the available water source and infrastructure is adequate to accommodate the capacity
needs of the proposed 73.79 -acre residential development at total build out.

F. DRAINAGE
G. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
November 22, 2004
Revised March 17, 2004
The dominant drainage pattern for the 73.79 -acre site is to the east, running along the
southern boundary of tax parcel 65- ((A)) -55 and through the central portion of tax parcel
65- ((A)) -49B through an unnamed tributary that drains to the Opequon Creek. Senseny
Village will be designed with curb and gutter lined streets, which will convey storm
water through an underground storm sewer system. Storm water management will be
designed in accordance with all applicable state and local storm water management
requirements and erosion and sedimentation control requirements. The design of the
stormwater management system will occur during the subdivision design process, and
will require approval by the Frederick County Engineer and the Virginia Department of
Transportation. Furthermore, the design for crossing this drainage channel to access the
southernmost residential land bay will minimize impacts to critical slope areas and the
drainage channel to ensure that this drainage channel is not negatively impacted.
The impact on solid waste disposal facilities can be projected from an average annual
residential consumption of 5.4 cubic yards per household (Civil Engineering Reference
Manual, 4 edition). The following figures show the increase in average annual volume
based on the 285 residential units (145 single family /140 townhouse) that is projected to
develop over a 4 -year period:
AV 5.4 Cu. Yd. per household
AV 5.4 Cu. Yd. x 285 households
AV 1,539 Cu. Yd. at residential build out, or 1,077 tons /yr 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 4 -year build out of the
subject site will generate on average 1,077 tons of solid waste annually following the
proffered four year phased build -out of Senseny Village. This represents a 0.13%
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, which can be
accommodated by this regional facility. The applicants have proffered to provide
community trash collection service for all residential land uses within Senseny Village.
This proffer provides revenues to the regional landfill in tipping fees and significantly
reduces impacts to the Greenwood Road Citizen Convenience Center. Therefore, the
proffers associated with the Senseny Village project adequately mitigate the impacts to
solid waste disposal.
H. HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES
The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey does not identify any existing structures
on or near the subject property as potentially significant. Furthermore, there are no

nor does the subject site fall within core battlefield area boundaries or areas that would
potentially qualify as historic districts.
I. IMPACT ON COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The Frederick County Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model has been prepared for the
proposed rezoning of the subject property based on a proffered 285 residential units (145
single family /140 townhouse). The results of the Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model
identify that the build out of the Senseny Village community will create a negative fiscal
impact of $8,987.00 for each residential unit. The applicants' proffer statement provides
a monetary contribution to Frederick County in the amount of $10,000.00 for each
detached single family residential unit and $8,000 for each townhouse residential unit, to
mitigate the fiscal impacts to County services. Furthermore, the applicants have
proffered a monetary contribution totaling a potential maximum amount of $1.145
million dollars for improvements to the Senseny Road/Route 7 Connector Road
and /or the proposed Route 37 Bypass to assist with regional transportation impacts in
this geographic area of the County.
