IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Introduction /Project Background
The Villages at Artrip is a single tract of land acquired by the Applicant from W.F. Artrip
Jr. and Enid Artip by deed dated May 15, 1989 and recorded in the Frederick County
Clerk's office in Deed Book 713 at Page 417 (see Appendix A). The Applicant also
owns an adjacent parcel of land designated as Lot 121, Lakewood Manor Section VIII.
Historically, the Property was used for agricultural uses, but the Property has no current
uses and has remained vacant since the Applicant's acquisition. The Property has no
known resources of historic merit. A family cemetery has been located; however, it is
unknown whether burials remain on that site. Accordingly, the cemetery will be
protected by a buffer area surrounding the perimeter.
The Applicant believes that this Property is suitable for rezoning to the requested R4
category given its location within the UDA, the SWSA, the CPP and proximity to the
adjacent developments of Crosspointe Center, Lakewood Manor, Wakeland Manor and
Canter Estates (see Exhibit 9). In addition, the Applicant recognizes the transportation
elements proposed with this project (i.e. Warrior Drive, Parkins Mill Road extended
and Lakeside Drive) constitute key "links" shown on the South Frederick Land Use Plan
(see Exhibits 10 11).

Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
The land planning for the Villages at Artrip has carefully considered several
environmental features of note, including:
100 -year Flood Plains; and
Wetlands and/or Waters of the U.S.; and
Steep Slopes; and
Mature Woodlands; and
Prime Agricultural Soils; and
Soil or Bedrock Conditions that could create construction difficulties or hazards.
Each element is discussed on the following pages. Table 1 shows the approximate areas
of these features and area of potential impacts:
100 year Flood Plain
The Villages al Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Two significant streams, the Opequon Creek and an unnamed tributary to the Opequon
Creek, are adjacent to or traverse the Property. FEMA has mapped a flood plain for
Opequon Creek and Frederick County's GIS data indicates a mapped flood plain for the
same, as well as for the unnamed tributary (see Exhibits 12 13). Because the extension
of Warrior Drive will cross the unnamed tributary, the Applicant prepared a flood plain
study demonstrating the "existing" and "proposed" conditions within the project
boundaries to ascertain any impacts to the floodplain. Given the significant
topographical variation between Wakeland Manor and the Villages at Artrip along the
Warrior Drive route, there will be minimal, if any, flood plain impacts. In addition, the
street and lot layout will not impact the flood plain for Opequon Creek. Stormwater
management systems and path/trail systems will be designed to minimize impacts.

Wetlands and Waters of the U.S.
The Applicant commissioned ECS, Ltd. to conduct a wetlands delineation report for the
project (see Appendix B). ECS identified and located seven wetlands and four streams
(see Exhibit 14). Those wetlands are classified as palustrine emergent (PEM), palustrine
scrub /shrub (PEMIS 5), and palustrine forested (PFO). Wetland vegetation is dominated
by green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), seedbox (Ludwigia x lacustris), Frank's sedge
(Carexfrankii) and soft rush (Juncus effuses).
The main source of hydrology for these wetlands includes ground water fluctuation and
surface runoff. The wetlands are underlain by Berks channery silt loam and Weikert-
Berks channery silt loam.
The Applicant's land plan integrates some of these features, including re -use and possible
retrofit of the farm pond as a focal point for the central village green. Additionally,
several of the swales are contained within planned open spaces.
The Applicant will work with Frederick County staff, the Army Corps of Engineers and
Department of Environmental Quality "DEQ representatives to determine actual
impacts to these features. During the design and detailed engineering process, the
Applicant will incorporate such design features as necessary to minimize the impact to
wetlands within the open space network.

Steep Slopes
The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Based on uncontrolled topography dated late 1980's, areas on the Property exceeding
50% steep slopes were identified. (see Exhibit 15). Most of these steep slope areas will
remain in planned open space (50% of the open space along Opequon Creek includes
steep slopes). As permitted by the Zoning Ordinance, there will be some construction
impacts to the steep slope areas, but none that will exceed 25% of the total steep slope
area. Proper erosion and sediment control measures, grading and stabilization will be
utilized to protect the impacted areas.

Mature Woodlands
The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Aerial photography and field visits indicate areas on the Property that contain woodlands
(see Exhibit 16). Two areas contain tree stands and/or individual trees of significant
size /caliper, including the areas adjacent to Opequon Creek and the unnamed tributary to
Opequon Creek. While most of the woodlands adjacent to the Opequon Creek will
remain in open space, some areas will be impacted by lot/street layouts, while others will
be incorporated within planned open space. The construction of Warrior Drive and a
portion of the multi family area will impact the area adjacent to the unnamed tributary to
the Opequon Creek (Landbay "A but the majority of the remaining woodlands area
will be within planned open space. In addition, the Applicant will strive to retain
individual trees within the impacted areas via selective clearing on the home sites.
Minimal encroachment will occur in areas of mature tree stands.

Soil or Bedrock Conditions
Based on the County Soils Survey, the project contains three underlying soils types:
Berks, Clearbrook and Weikert, all of which are within the Weikert- Berks- Blairton soil
complex (see Exhibit 17).
This soil complex is generally described as gently sloping to moderately steep, shallow
and moderately deep, well drained to somewhat poorly drained soils that have a medium
textured or fine textured subsoil. The parent soils were formed in a material weathered
from shale or sandstone. These soils are poorly to moderately well suited for pasture and
crop cultivation. In addition erosion hazard is moderate and needs to be considered a
major concern. Limitations within this complex include depth to bedrock (ranging from
10" to 40" below the ground surface) and seasonal high water table (ranging from 6" to
6' below the ground surface).
Based on the aforementioned County Soils Survey, this project, as well as the eastern part
of the County, is underlain by shale and fined- grained sandstone. The County Geology
Map (see Exhibit 18) identifies this area in the Martinsburg Shale Formation. Unlike
other areas in the County that have limestone, the bedrock is not obvious from visual
surface inspection of topographical ridges or knobs However, as discussed earlier,
shallow bedrock conditions are a concern in this area.
Given the limitations on these soils, the Applicant will consider these elements during the
design of site grading to minimize depths of cut. However, it is anticipated that
excavations and fills of 4 to 10 feet will be required, to provide balanced earthwork for
the project. The Applicant will engage a geotechnical engineer to provide site
development recommendations during the detailed site design stage in order to minimize
impacts and identify site development constraints within these soil and bedrock
conditions.

Other Environmental Conditions
The Applicant commissioned a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment from ECS, Ltd.
dated 03/23/04 (see Appendix C). This study concluded that there is "no evidence of
current or previous uses or conditions onsite that would be regarded as
environmentally suspect" and that "no further environmental investigation of the
property is deemed necessary prior to development" See Appendix C, 1.0, Executive
Summary.
A. Surrounding Properties
The Villages at Artrip is bounded by farmland and existing or proposed residential and
commercial development (See Exhibit 19 and Table 3). To the north is an active farm
operated by W.F. Artrip, Jr. (zoned RA); to the east is the proposed Canter Estates V
single family subdivision (zoned RP); to the southeast is the proposed Wakeland Manor
single family and multifamily subdivision (zoned RP); to the southwest is the existing
and fully built out Lakewood Manor single family and multifamily subdivision (zoned
RP); and to the west is the proposed Crosspointe Center commercial and residential
subdivision (portions of which were recently rezoned from RA to B2 and RP).
The closest development to the proposed project is the Lakewood Manor subdivision,
with about 12 houses within 50' of the southern Property line. All other boundaries
will be proximate to the proposed development's commercial buildings or residential
units, but specific building locations have not been determined as of the date of this
document.
The Applicant is unaware of any nuisance impacts (e.g. noise, glare, fumes, pollution,
and odors), pursuant to thresholds established by County, State and Federal regulations
that will be created as the result of this development. Furthermore, the Applicant does
not believe any other nuisance factors will be created as the result of this development.

The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
As previously stated, the Applicant commissioned from Patton, Harris Rust, P.C. the
accompanying Traffic Impact Analysis. The project scope was established through two
meetings with Frederick County and VDOT staff. The results of the TIA study
concluded that "the traffic impacts associated with the Villages at Artrip are acceptable
and manageable." (See Traffic Impact Analysis, page 36). Although all intersections in
closest proximity to the site maintain a level of service "LOS of C conditions at peak
hour, the I -81 ramps to westbound Route 37/Route 11 (Kemstown) interchange operates
at LOS F. However, others are in the process of identifying corrective measures to
implement and thus improve the conditions at the interchange so as to improve the LOS.
Additionally, the Applicant's intent to construct Warrior Drive and Parkins Mill Road
will significantly improve traffic conditions.
The specifics of each studied intersection are included within the TIA.

C. Sewage Conveyance and Treatment
Sewer services will be extended from existing and/or planned mains on or adjacent to the
Property to serve the development (see Exhibit 20).
The preliminary sewer layout depicted on the MDP indicates that onsite gravity sewers
will be able to serve the development and provide conveyance for the project to one
major interceptors; an existing 15" gravity interceptor line along Buffalo Lick Run in the
southeast corner of the project. This sewer line expands to 18 crosses VA Route 522
then follows Opequon Creek to the Parkins Mill Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
located at the southeast comer of Route 522 and Parkins Mill Road.
Exhibit 21 provides a schematic plan and improvements for sewers.

The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
The anticipated sewage flow generation is provided in Table 3.
Sewage generation from this site will be treated at the Parkins Mill Wastewater
Treatment Plant (the "Parkins Mill plant Monthly operational data for this facility is
shown on Table 4. In addition, the FCSA on 08/20/04, provided the following data on
the WWTP:
Current Capacity 2,000,000 gallons per day (gpd); or
Current Usage
Current Available Capacity
2.0 MGD
1.5 MGD
0.5 MGD
The FCSA also noted that only Crosspointe Center will contribute additional sewage
flows. Based on the rezoning application for that development, the flow generation at
build -out conditions from that project is estimated to be 0.634550 MGD. A proposed
WWTP upgrade project scheduled for completion by 2008 will increase the WWTP's
capacity by 1 MGD.
The FCSA, through reserve funding of the Frederick Winchester Service Authority
"FWSA has begun to study future expansion of hydraulic capacity at Parkins Mill,
which will require expansion to meet the increasing flow requirements within the
Opequon and Wrights Run Watersheds. Discussions with FCSA have not identified any
deficiencies in the sewer systems that will serve this project.
This information is based on an August 20 2004 conversation with the Applicant's
representative and Mr. Wellington Jones.

D. Water Supply
The Villages al Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Water services will be extended from existing and /or planned water mains on or adjacent
to the Property (see Exhibit 22).
The following connections will be provided for water service:
1. Extension of the proposed water main from Wakeland Manor at the southeast and
Crosspointe Center at the west; and
2. Extension of the proposed water main in Parkins Mill Road Extended from Canter
Estates to the east.
A schematic plan and improvements for water mains is shown on Exhibit 23.
Water demand for The Villages at Artrip is shown on the aforementioned Table 3. The
primary water source is 3,000,000 gallons per day (MGD) of ground water pumped from
quarries on the west side of Stephens City. This water is then treated at the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant (WFP) that normally treats up to 3.2 MGD. However,
additional pumps can increase this capacity to 4 MGD. The WFP is also configured for
an additional filter unit that will increase capacity to 6 MGD.
Another water source in the northern portion of the County available to the proposed
development is a quarry in Clearbrook and nearby wells. The Authority also purchases
finished water from the City of Winchester, which gets its water from the Shenandoah
River. This water is then treated at the Northern Treatment Plant, which has a current
capacity of 4 MGD, and is expandable to 6 MGD.
After treatment from one of these two WTP's, water is stored in one of three elevated and
two ground storage tanks with a total capacity of 3,00,000 gallons of system water
storage.
In addition, the FCSA provided the following WTP data:
Current Capacity
Current Usage
Current Available Capacity
9.25 MGD
4.7 MGD
4.5555 MGD
According to the WTP, the only pending development anticipated to contribute additional
flows is Crosspointe Center, and the estimated flow demand from that project at build -out
conditions in 2012 is 0.634550 MGD. However, a proposed WTP upgrade project
scheduled for completion by 2012 will increase the WTP's capacity by 4 MGD.

The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
The 20" primary water distribution main from the Diehl WFP is west of this site on the
Crosspointe Center project, and distributes water in both the Abrams Creek and Fort
Collier /Stonewall Industrial Park areas of Frederick County. Additionally, the 500,000
gallon Route 642 elevated water storage tank is located west of the project, on the
property rezoned for Crosspointe Center.
Water mains within the development will be looped and extended to existing and /or
proposed mains on the adjoining projects to meet Frederick County Sanitation Authority
"FCSA design requirements. This combination of water supply service will provide
adequate fire protection and domestic service for all phases of the proposed commercial
and residential uses. To -date, discussions with FCSA has not identified any deficiencies
in the water systems that will serve this project.

E. Drainage
The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Drainage will be provided on an equal basis by two major streams: the Opequon Creek
and an unnamed tributary to the Opequon Creek (see Exhibit 24).
Drainage generally flows from the center of the site then north to the Opequon Creek or
south to the unnamed tributary to the Opequon Creek, and each stream then flows east
where they meet offsite, just southeast of the Parkins Mill WWTP.
The project will provide onsite stormwater management (SWM) in accordance with
Virginia's Stormwater Management Handbook through design of' several wet and dry
SWM basins, grassed swales, and other best management practices (BMP) (see Exhibit
25).
These facilities will provide a combination of two and ten -year frequency water quantity
management by detaining and releasing post-developed runoff to pre development rates,
as well as providing water quality management of the "fast flush" (i.e. W' to 1" runoff
depth from impervious areas) of the post development runoff. 100 -year quantity
management will only be provided where deemed necessary by the County to protect
downstream properties from flooding conditions.
One SWM facility of note is the proposed conversion of an existing farm pond to a
central amenity lake feature. This lake will be designed to provide SWM, but will also
:function as an attractive focal point for the project.

Introduction/Project Background
The Villages at Artrip is a single tract of land acquired by the Applicant from W.F. Artrip
Jr. and Enid Artip by deed dated May 15, 1989 and recorded in the Frederick County
Clerk's office in Deed Book 713 at Page 417 (see Appendix A). The Applicant also
owns an adjacent parcel of land designated as Lot 121, Lakewood Manor Section VIII.
Historically, the Property was used for agricultural uses, but the Property has no current
uses and has remained vacant since the Applicant's acquisition. The Property has no
known resources of historic merit. A family cemetery has been located; however, it is
unknown whether burials remain on that site. Accordingly, the cemetery will be
protected by a buffer area surrounding the perimeter.
The Applicant believes that this Property is suitable for rezoning to the requested R4
category given its location within the UDA, the SWSA, the CPP and proximity to the
adjacent developments of Crosspointe Center, Lakewood Manor, Wakeland Manor and
Canter Estates (see Exhibit 9). In addition, the Applicant recognizes the transportation
elements proposed with this project (i.e. Warrior Drive, Parkins Mill Road extended
and Lakeside Drive) constitute key "links" shown on the South Frederick Land Use Plan
(see Exhibits 10 11).

Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
The land planning for the Villages at Artrip has carefully considered several
environmental features of note, including:
100 -year Flood Plains; and
Wetlands and/or Waters of the U.S.; and
Steep Slopes; and
Mature Woodlands; and
Prime Agricultural Soils; and
Soil or Bedrock Conditions that could create construction difficulties or hazards.
Each element is discussed on the following pages. Table 1 shows the approximate areas
of these features and area of potential impacts:
100 year Flood Plain
The Villages al Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Two significant streams, the Opequon Creek and an unnamed tributary to the Opequon
Creek, are adjacent to or traverse the Property. FEMA has mapped a flood plain for
Opequon Creek and Frederick County's GIS data indicates a mapped flood plain for the
same, as well as for the unnamed tributary (see Exhibits 12 13). Because the extension
of Warrior Drive will cross the unnamed tributary, the Applicant prepared a flood plain
study demonstrating the "existing" and "proposed" conditions within the project
boundaries to ascertain any impacts to the floodplain. Given the significant
topographical variation between Wakeland Manor and the Villages at Artrip along the
Warrior Drive route, there will be minimal, if any, flood plain impacts. In addition, the
street and lot layout will not impact the flood plain for Opequon Creek. Stormwater
management systems and path/trail systems will be designed to minimize impacts.

Wetlands and Waters of the U.S.
The Applicant commissioned ECS, Ltd. to conduct a wetlands delineation report for the
project (see Appendix B). ECS identified and located seven wetlands and four streams
(see Exhibit 14). Those wetlands are classified as palustrine emergent (PEM), palustrine
scrub /shrub (PEMIS 5), and palustrine forested (PFO). Wetland vegetation is dominated
by green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), seedbox (Ludwigia x lacustris), Frank's sedge
(Carexfrankii) and soft rush (Juncus effuses).
The main source of hydrology for these wetlands includes ground water fluctuation and
surface runoff. The wetlands are underlain by Berks channery silt loam and Weikert-
Berks channery silt loam.
The Applicant's land plan integrates some of these features, including re -use and possible
retrofit of the farm pond as a focal point for the central village green. Additionally,
several of the swales are contained within planned open spaces.
The Applicant will work with Frederick County staff, the Army Corps of Engineers and
Department of Environmental Quality "DEQ representatives to determine actual
impacts to these features. During the design and detailed engineering process, the
Applicant will incorporate such design features as necessary to minimize the impact to
wetlands within the open space network.
Steep Slopes
The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Based on uncontrolled topography dated late 1980's, areas on the Property exceeding
50% steep slopes were identified. (see Exhibit 15). Most of these steep slope areas will
remain in planned open space (50% of the open space along Opequon Creek includes
steep slopes). As permitted by the Zoning Ordinance, there will be some construction
impacts to the steep slope areas, but none that will exceed 25% of the total steep slope
area. Proper erosion and sediment control measures, grading and stabilization will be
utilized to protect the impacted areas.
Mature Woodlands
The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Aerial photography and field visits indicate areas on the Property that contain woodlands
(see Exhibit 16). Two areas contain tree stands and/or individual trees of significant
size /caliper, including the areas adjacent to Opequon Creek and the unnamed tributary to
Opequon Creek. While most of the woodlands adjacent to the Opequon Creek will
remain in open space, some areas will be impacted by lot/street layouts, while others will
be incorporated within planned open space. The construction of Warrior Drive and a
portion of the multi family area will impact the area adjacent to the unnamed tributary to
the Opequon Creek (Landbay "A but the majority of the remaining woodlands area
will be within planned open space. In addition, the Applicant will strive to retain
individual trees within the impacted areas via selective clearing on the home sites.
Minimal encroachment will occur in areas of mature tree stands.

Rezoning Application, impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan

Soil or Bedrock Conditions
Based on the County Soils Survey, the project contains three underlying soils types:
Berks, Clearbrook and Weikert, all of which are within the Weikert Berks Blairton soil
complex (see Exhibit 17).
This soil complex is generally described as gently sloping to moderately steep, shallow
and moderately deep, well drained to somewhat poorly drained soils that have a medium
textured or fine textured subsoil. The parent soils were formed in a material weathered
from shale or sandstone. These soils are poorly to moderately well suited for pasture and
crop cultivation. In addition erosion hazard is moderate and needs to be considered a
major concern. Limitations within this complex include depth to bedrock (ranging from
10" to 40" below the ground surface) and seasonal high water table (ranging from 6" to
6' below the ground surface).
Based on the aforementioned County Soils Survey, this project, as well as the eastern part
of the County, is underlain by shale and fined- grained sandstone. The County Geology
Map (see Exhibit 18) identifies this area in the Martinsburg Shale Formation. Unlike
other areas in the County that have limestone, the bedrock is not obvious from visual
surface inspection of topographical ridges or knobs. However, as discussed earlier,
shallow bedrock conditions are a concern in this area.
Given the limitations on these soils, the Applicant will consider these elements during the
design of site grading to minimize depths of cut. However, it is anticipated that
excavations and fills of 4 to 10 feet will be required, to provide balanced earthwork for
the project. The Applicant will engage a geotechnical engineer to provide site
development recommendations during the detailed site design stage in order to minimize
impacts and identify site development constraints within these soil and bedrock
conditions.

Other Environmental Conditions
The Applicant commissioned a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment from ECS, Ltd.
dated 03/23/04 (see Appendix C). This study concluded that there is "no evidence of
current or previous uses or conditions onsite that would be regarded as
environmentally suspect" and that "no further environmental investigation of the
property is deemed necessary prior to development. See Appendix C, 1.0, Executive
Summary.
A. Surrounding Properties
The Villages at Artrip is bounded by farmland and existing or proposed residential and
commercial development (See Exhibit 19 and Table 3). To the north is an active farm

The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
As previously stated, the Applicant commissioned from Patton, Harris Rust, P.C. the
accompanying Traffic Impact Analysis. The project scope was established through two
meetings with Frederick County and VDOT staff. The results of the TIA study
concluded that "the traffic impacts associated with the Villages at Artrip are acceptable
and manageable." (See Traffic Impact Analysis, page 36). Although all intersections in
closest proximity to the site maintain a level of service "LOS of C conditions at peak
hour, the I -81 ramps to westbound Route 37/Route 11 (Kemstown) interchange operates
at LOS F. However, others are in the process of identifying corrective measures to
implement and thus improve the conditions at the interchange so as to improve the LOS.
Additionally, the Applicant's intent to construct Warrior Drive and Parkins Mill Road
will significantly improve traffic conditions.
The specifics of each studied intersection are included within the TIA.

C. Sewage Conveyance and Treatment
Sewer services will be extended from existing and/or planned mains on or adjacent to the
Property to serve the development (see Exhibit 20).
The preliminary sewer layout depicted on the MDP indicates that onsite gravity sewers
will be able to serve the development and provide conveyance for the project to one
major interceptors; an existing 15" gravity interceptor line along Buffalo Lick Run in the
southeast comer of the project. This sewer line expands to 18 crosses VA Route 522
then follows Opequon Creek to the Parkins Mill Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
located at the southeast corner of Route 522 and Parkins Mill Road.
Exhibit 21 provides a schematic plan and improvements for sewers.

The anticipated sewage flow generation is provided in Table 3.
Sewage generation from this site will be treated at the Parkins Mill Wastewater
Treatment Plant (the "Parkins Mill plant Monthly operational data for this facility is
shown on Table 4. In addition, the FCSA on 08/20/04, provided the following data on
the W WTP: t
Current Capacity 2,000,000 gallons per day (gpd); or
Current Usage
Current Available Capacity
2.0 MGD
1.5 MGD
0.5 MGD
The FCSA also noted that only Crosspointe Center will contribute additional sewage
flows. Based on the rezoning application for that development, the flow generation at
build -out conditions from that project is estimated to be 0.634550 MGD. A proposed
WWTP upgrade project scheduled for completion by 2008 will increase the WWTP's
capacity by 1 MGD.
The FCSA, through reserve funding of the Frederick- Winchester Service Authority
"FWSA has begun to study future expansion of hydraulic capacity at Parkins Mill,
which will require expansion to meet the increasing flow requirements within the
Opequon and Wrights Run Watersheds. Discussions with FCSA have not identified any
deficiencies in the sewer systems that will serve this project.
This information is based on an August 20 2004 conversation with the Applicant's
representative and Mr. Wellington Jones.

D. Water Supply
The Villages al Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Water services will be extended from existing and /or planned water mains on or adjacent
to the Property. (see Exhibit 22).
The following connections will be provided for water service:
1. Extension of the proposed water main from Wakeland Manor at the southeast and
Crosspointe Center at the west; and
2. Extension of the proposed water main in Parkins Mill Road Extended from Canter
Estates to the east.
A schematic plan and improvements for water mains is shown on Exhibit 23.
Water demand for The Villages at Artrip is shown on the aforementioned Table 3. The
primary water source is 3,000,000 gallons per day (MGD) of ground water pumped from
quarries on the west side of Stephens City. This water is then treated at the James H.
Diehl Water Filtration Plant (WFP) that normally treats up to 3.2 MGD. However,
additional pumps can increase this capacity to 4 MGD. The WFP is also configured for
an additional filter unit that will increase capacity to 6 MGD.
Another water source in the northern portion of the County available to the proposed
development is a quarry in Clearbrook and nearby wells. The Authority also purchases
finished water from the City of Winchester, which gets its water from the Shenandoah
River. This water is then treated at the Northern Treatment Plant, which has a current
capacity of 4 MGD, and is expandable to 6 MGD.
After treatment from one of these two WTP's, water is stored in one of three elevated and
two ground storage tanks with a total capacity of 3,00,000 gallons of system water
storage.
In addition, the FCSA provided the following WTP data:
Current Capacity
Current Usage
Current Available Capacity
9.25 MGD
4.7 MGD
4.5555 MGD
According to the WTP, the only pending development anticipated to contribute additional
flows is Crosspointe Center, and the estimated flow demand from that project at build -out
conditions in 2012 is 0.634550 MGD. However, a proposed WTP upgrade project
scheduled for completion by 2012 will increase the WTP's capacity by 4 MGD.

The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
The 20" primary water distribution main from the Diehl WFP is west of this site on the
Crosspointe Center project, and distributes water in both the Abrams Creek and Fort
Collier /Stonewall Industrial Park areas of Frederick County. Additionally, the 500,000
gallon Route 642 elevated water storage tank is located west of the project, on the
property rezoned for Crosspointe Center.
Water mains within the development will be looped and extended to existing and /or
proposed mains on the adjoining projects to meet Frederick County Sanitation Authority
"FCSA design requirements. This combination of water supply service will provide
adequate fire protection and domestic service for all phases of the proposed commercial
and residential uses. To -date, discussions with FCSA has not identified any deficiencies
in the water systems that will serve this project.
14
E. Drainage
The Villages at Artrip
Rezoning Application, Impact Analysis Statement and Master Development Plan
May 20, 2005
Drainage will be provided on an equal basis by two major streams: the Opequon Creek
and an unnamed tributary to the Opequon Creek (see Exhibit 24).
Drainage generally flows from the center of the site then north to the Opequon Creek or
south to the unnamed tributary to the Opequon Creek, and each stream then flows east
where they meet offsite, just southeast of the Parkins Mill WWTP.
The project will provide onsite stormwater management (SWM) in accordance with
Virginia's Stormwater Management Handbook through design of several wet and dry
SWM basins, grassed swales, and other best management practices (BMP) (see Exhibit
25).
These facilities will provide a combination of two and ten -year frequency water quantity
management by detaining and releasing post developed runoff to pre development rates,
as well as providing water quality management of the "first flush" (i.e. to 1" runoff
depth from impervious areas) of the post development runoff 100 -year quantity
management will only be provided where deemed necessary by the County to protect
downstream properties from flooding conditions.
One SWM facility of note is the proposed conversion of an existing farm pond to a
central amenity lake feature. This lake will be designed to provide SWM, but will also
function as an attractive focal point for the project.

CONCLUSION
The traffic impacts associated with the proposed Villages at Artrip development arc
acceptable and manageable. The following describes the future (Year 2012) operating
conditions at each of the study area intersections.
Route 37 /SB 1 -81 ramps: In order to achieve acceptable overall levels of service of
"C" or better during 2012 background and build -out conditions, the following
intersection improvements were assumed: 1) One lane was added along the
southbound approach; 2) One thru lane in the eastbound and westbound directions,
respectively; and 3) The westbound left -turn movement to southbound I -81 was
eliminated All vehicles would be rerouted to the eastbound I -81 southbound ramp
via the Route 37 /US Route 11 interchange.
Route 37 /NB I -81 ramps: In order to achieve acceptable overall levels of service of
"C" or better during 2012 background and build -out conditions, the following
intersection improvements were assumed: 1) The intersection is to be realigned to
the east at the approximate location of the existing Tasker Road; 2) Two eastbound
left -turn lanes were added; 3) One thru lane in the eastbound and westbound
directions, respectively; 4) One lane was added along the northbound approach; and
5) A designated right turn lane was added in the westbound direction to allow free
flow travel onto northbound I -81
Crosspointe Boulevard/Tasker Road: For 2012 background and build -out
conditions, this intersection will operate with overall levels of service of "C" during
the AM peak hour and "D" during the PM peak hour assuming the following
improvements: 1) Tasker Road is to be realigned to the east through the proposed
Crosspointe Center site; 2) Route 37 was extended through the Crosspointe Center
site as Crosspointe Boulevard.; 3) The new intersection of Crosspointe
Boulevard/Tasker Road will be signalized and include the following lane geometry:
Eastbound one left -turn lane, two thru lanes and one right -turn lane; Westbound
one left -turn lane, one thru lane and one shared thru/right-turn lane; Northbound
two left -turn lanes, one thru lane and one right -turn lane; Southbound one shared
left- turn/thru lane and one right -turn.
In order to demonstrate the minimal impacts of the project, PHR +A has provided
Table 7 to the show the increase in delay /levels of service between 2012 background
and 2012 build -out conditions, assuming no improvements, for the intersections of
Route 37 /SB I -81 ramps, Route 37 /NB I -81 ramps and Crosspointe Boulevard/Tasker
Road.
