RE: Largest Rezoning
Frederick County, Virginia
Dear Sirs:
We have completed our review of the proposed Largent rezoning and offer the following
comments:
Refer to Location and Site Background /Surrounding Properties: The 30.01 acres
proposed for rezoning is located southeast of a parcel owned by the regional airport. This
parcel contains a stormwater management basin and a limited access drive 12 feet wide
from Airport Road to the property under consideration. Indicate how the applicant plans
to construct an acceptable access road from Airport Road to the proposed property.
Refer to Site Suitability Wetlands: The statement indicates that no wetlands have been
identified on the site. However, previous wetland delineation studies performed for
adjacent properties have identified wetlands within the Buffalo Lick Run Flood Plain.
Indicate if a wetland study has been performed or if a wetland study will be performed
prior to submittal of a master development plan.
Refer to Site Suitability Steep Slopes: The narrative indicates that steep slopes have
been identified on the site. Provide a topographic map delineating these areas.
Refer to Water Supply: Provide an estimate of water usage based on the anticipated
development highlighted in the proffer model (198,000 square feet).
Refer to Drainage: The discussion of stormwater design indicates that the proposed
stormwater facility will be designed and engineered to meet available quality and quantity
standards. Based on this statement, we will expect the stormwater facility to be designed
using a BMP approach. This design approach should be highlighted in the master
development plan.

Refer to Solid Waste Disposal Facilities: The narrative states that "no additional solid
waste disposal facilities will be required for the proposed development However, the
discussion does not indicate an estimate of the solid waste generated by the project nor a
comparison with the available capacity of the regional landfill. These issues should he
included in the revised rezoning analysis and based on the maximum anticipated
development. The rezoning model indicated that 198,000 square feet of development will
occur on the approximate 30 acre parcel.
