PROPOSED USES: Mixed Use Commercial and Residential (all age- restricted)
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: The documentation within the application to rezone this property
appears to have significant measurable impact on Routes 656 and 657. These routes are the VDOT
roadways which have been considered as the access to the property referenced. VDOT is satisfied that
the transportation proffers offered in the Orrick Commons rezoning application signed December 2005
addresses transportation concerns associated with this request. While the proposed proffers appear
acceptable, VDOT offers the following comments: 6.1 acceptable; 6.2 acceptable; 6-3 acceptable;
6.4 acceptable; 6.5 initially acceptable, but VDOT reserves the right to require additional
dedications upon review of the site plan/entrance design. It should be noted that if 250' of separation
from the proposed Greenwood entrance and Greenpark Drive cannot be achieved, the developer may be
required to align the Greenwood entrance with Greenpark Drive. This would also require the developer
to enter into a signalization agreement with VDOT. Before development, this office will require a
complete set of construction plans detailing entrance designs, drainage features, and traffic flow data
from the I.T.E Trip Generation Manual, Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to
comment on all right -of -way needs, including right -of -way dedications, traffic signalization, and off -site
roadway improvements and drainage. Any work performed on the State's right -of -way must be covered
under a land use permit. This permit is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety
bond coverage.
Fire Marshal: Maintain access during all phases of construction. Municipal water supply for
firefighting must be available as soon as combustible materials arrive on site. Plan approval
recommended.
Public Works Department: 1. Refer to page 3 of 6, C. Site Suitability: Include a discussion of the
existing power line right -of -way and the impact on the proposed road network and related utility
development. Provide a detailed wetlands delineation with the master development plan (MDP)
submittal. A copy of the MDP should be submitted to the Corps of Engineers for their review and
comment. Refer to page 5 of 6, D. Transportation: The discussion references the requirement for a
right turn lane on westbound Senseny Road for vehicles turning north onto Greenwood Road.
Considering this location is outside of the proposed rezoning boundaries, indicate if sufficient right -of-
way is available at this location. Refer to page 6 of 6, F. Site Drainage: Indicate what types of low
impact development techniques will be employed within the proposed development. Also, delineate
how much of the existing vegetation will be preserved as riparian buffers. All permanent storm water
management facilities shall be highlighted in the MDP. Refer to page 6 of 6, G. Solid Waste Facilities:
This discussion indicates that the homeowners' association (HOA) will be responsible for trash
collection within the residential portion of the project. However, the proffer statement, paragraph 3.2
indicates, "if they decide to use a commercial collection company This latter portion of item iii
should be removed from the proffer statement, thereby making this a definite requirement of the HOA.
Refer to page 3 of 7, proffer statement, paragraph 5.1: We applaud the use of BMP facilities. However,
the maintenance of these facilities shall be included in the responsibilities of the HOA or commercial

property owners. Refer to page 10 of the Traffic Impact Analysis by Patton Harris Rust Associates:
Revise the data in Table II to reflect the actual commercial development of 158,000 square feet,
proposed in the Introduction paragraph (page 1 of 6) of the impact analysis.
Staff Note: The issue of maintenance of BMP facilities has not been addressed by the applicant.
Frederick County Inspections: No comment at this time. Shall comment at the time of site plan and
subdivision lot review.
Frederick Winchester Service Authority: No comment.
Sanitation Authority: I concur with the water sewer comments made in the application package.
Frederick Winchester Health Department: No objection if water and sewer are to be provided.
Department of Parks Recreation: The proposed plan appears to provide a monetary proffer
consistent with the county model for this housing type. The developer has also indicated that a public
recreational park, including playground equipment equivalent to monetary value of the required
recreational units, will be located within the 3.5 acres of open space provided. Plan also shows a bike
trail, meeting Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department standards, along Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road which is to be maintained by the development.
Frederick County Public Schools: Based on the information provided, it is anticipated that the
proposed 175 single family and multi family units will have no impact on the school division upon
build -out due to the units being age restricted.
Winchester Regional Airport: While the proposed development lies within the airport's Part 77
surfaces and airspace, it appears that the proposed site plan should not impact operations at the
Winchester Regional Airport.
Frederick County Attorney: Please see attached letter dated May 3, 2006 from Robert T. Mitchell,
Jr., Esquire.
Historic Resources Advisory Board: Upon review of the proposed rezoning, it appears that the
proposal does not significantly impact historic resources and it is not necessary to schedule a formal
review of the rezoning application by the HRAB. According to the Rural Landmark Survey, there are
no significant historic structures located on the properties nor are there any possible historic districts in
the vicinity. It is also noted that the National Parks Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah
Valley does not identify any core battlefields that his proposed rezoning would directly impact.
Planning Department: Please see attached letter dated January 26, 2006from Susan K Eddy, Senior
Planner.

Planning Zoning:
1) Site History
2) Comprehensive Policy Plan
Land Use
The original Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S.G.S. Stephenson Quadrangle) identifies this
property as being zoned A -2 (Agriculture General). The County's agricultural zoning districts
were combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an amendment to the
Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The corresponding revision of the
zoning map resulted in the re- mapping of the subject property and all other A -1 and A -2 zoned
land to the RA District.
The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as
the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public
facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to
protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a
composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County.
[Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 1 -1]
The site is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water
Service Area (SWSA).
The site is not within the limits of any small area plans in the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The
land use plan identifies the entire Senseny Road corridor for residential uses. However, the Plan
(6 -72) does call for neighborhood business uses in the vicinity of residential areas. Given this
key intersection of Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, and the existing B2 zoned properties at
this intersection, developing the western portion of the Orrick property for neighborhood
commercial development and the eastem portion for residential, if done in a compatible manner,
could be consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The multi family housing, in the
center of the site, as proffered on the Generalized Development Plan, provides a transition
between the retail portion of the site and the single family portion of the site. Siting elderly
housing adjacent to retail /office uses is desirable, and with the safeguards called for in the
Comprehensive Plan when multi family units are adjacent to single family units, the mix of uses
could be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
While Senseny Road is not specifically a business corridor, the business design standards in the
Comprehensive Plan are relevant to this application. The Plan calls for landscaping along the
roadway, screening adjoining uses, and controlling the size, number and location of signs.
Staff Note: The on -going Urban Development Area (UDA) Study has preliminarily designated
this area for a neighborhood center. Before this could happen, community input would be
Rezoning #04 -06 Orrick Cemetery, Inc.
June 19, 2006
Page 5
sought, and policies and standards would need to be adopted. As these steps have not taken
place, the general policies in the existing Comprehensive Plan, which call for high quality
design and compatibility between uses and housing types would need to be followed Given the
lack of details concerning the residential portion of the site, the county will need to be confident
that the multi family housing will be compatible with the existing single family housing and that
the commercial uses will be complementary with residential uses.
Transportation
The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Policy Plan designates Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road as improved major collectors. This translates to a four -lane divided boulevard
section, such as is being implemented with Warrior Drive. The idealized intersection design in
the Comprehensive Plan (6 -15) illustrates appropriate features including raised medians with
landscaping, landscaping along the edge of the right -of -way, and sidewalks.
The Frederick County Bicycle Plan designates Senseny Road as a short-term designated route.
Staff Note: The applicant is implementing the Eastern Road Plan. On Senseny Road a new
lane is being provided Following the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant proffered
street trees along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road The most recent proffer statement (June
2, 2006) also proffers a median on Senseny Road.
3) Site Suitability /Environment
No steep slopes exist on the property. No portion of this site is within the 100 -year flood plain
according to the Flood Insurance Study Map for Frederick County. U.S.G.S. maps show one
stream and one pond on the property, both in the northeast corner. The applicant has prepared a
Wetland Delineation Report and a Request for Jurisdictional Wetlands Determination. That
report documented two wetlands in the southeast corner of the site and one circular ditch
holding water, that is not a jurisdictional water of the U.S. The wetlands will be further
analyzed further at the MDP and site plan stages. Some mature woodlands, which may form
part of the landscape requirement, are located on the eastern portion of the site.
The General Soil Map of the Soil Survey of Frederick County, Virginia indicates that the soils
comprising the subject parcel fall under the Weikert- Berks Blairton soil association, which is
the predominant association on land located east of Interstate 81. The characteristics of this soil
type and any implications for site development are manageable through the site engineering
process. No soil types on this site are classified as prime farmland soil.

Traffic Impact Analysis.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was prepared for this application using composite data collected
from other studies in the area as well as actual traffic counts. Two TIA addendums were also
prepared. The first addendum (labeled Option B and numbered as pages 14a and 14b in the
TIA) incorporates the alignment of the site entrance on Greenwood Road with Greenpark Drive.
This is the proffered road alignment. The second addendum, dated April 5, 2006, models a
different mix of uses than the original TIA. It models less retail floorspace but more office,
more day -care and more overall floorspace (158,000 square feet) than originally modeled. The
projected trip generation decreased slightly with this mix of commercial uses.
Staff note: The precise mix of commercial uses and floorspace is not proffered. Only the
maximum floorspace of 158,000 square feet is proffered.
Using traffic generation figures from the T.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, 7 Edition, the revised
TIA projects that the proposed development will produce 11,547 vehicle trips per day (VPD).
The TIA further indicates that the study area roads and intersections have the capacity to
accommodate the trips generated by the project at Level of Service C conditions or better, given
the proffered improvements. Improvements to the intersection of Senseny Road and Channing
Drive (turn lanes and signalization) have been proffered by the developers of the Channing land
bays when the first site plan is submitted for their B2 area. The TIA shows level of Service
D(F) at this intersection without the signalization proffered by others, but this failing level of
service is reached with or without the Orrick development.
Water and sanitary sewer facilities are available via the Lynnehaven Subdivision to the east.
The majority of the site will be served via gravity flow from west to east. Using the standards
water consumption rates for single family attached /multi- family residential uses and general
consumption/office uses, the proposed development is projected to consume approximately
59,200 GPD (gallons per day) of water and produce equivalent sewer flows.
The applicant has proffered $558 for each residential unit to offset the impacts to community
facilities. This amount is based the County's new Development Impact Model. It includes
double the amount listed for fire and rescue, and excludes the amount for schools because this is
a proffered age restricted community.
Staffnote: The impact model for Orrick was based on 55,000 square feet ofretail floorspace as
this is proffered to be built prior to the occupancy of any residences The latest proffer
statement includes a cash proffer of 8558 per residential unit for capital facilities which is
much different than the 82,912 per unit originally proffered. The revision is based on the
applicant's re- evaluation of the county's new Development Impact Model as it applies to age
restricted dwellings.

Stuff Note: Earlier renderings presented to stafffor this project showed buildings on the pad
sites close to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, with the parking lots hidden behind. Staff
has encouraged the applicant to commit to this layout. The most recent proffer statement (June
2, 2006) removed formed concrete as a material for commercial buildings.
The multi family units will have facades of brick, stone, simulated stone, wood, Hardishingle
and /or Harditrim, or materials of comparable quality, Azek Trimboards, Fypon brackets and /or
cornice details, stucco and glass. The apartment structures will incorporate non symmetrical
massing, bays and columned porches, as generally depicted on the conceptual drawings
identified as Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
Staff note: As stated earlier, the county will want to be assured that the multi- family units are
compatible with the surrounding single family units. The design proffers are vague and the
proffered conceptual drawings lack detail. Staff is not convinced that a compatible design is
guaranteed Also, Exhibit A shows a four story building. Acceptance of this exhibit does not
give approval for a four story building. The proffer and exhibit relate only to non symmetrical
massing, hays and columned porches.
E) Parks and Recreation
The applicant will design and construct a 3.5 acre park. If in the future both the county and
applicant find it to be in the best interest of the county, this park may be dedicated to the county
for use by the general public. The applicant will construct a ten foot asphalt pedestrian bike trail
along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, prior to occupancy of any commercial building.
Staff Note: Originally the applicant had proffered to design and construct the 3.5 acre park to
be open to the public, but owned and maintained by the residential homeowners association.
Some Planning Commissioners had concerns over the long term maintenance and liability of
such an arrangement on the homeowners association. Following the Planning Commission
meeting, the applicant met with Parks and Recreation, who expressed a strong interest in a
public park in this area. A number of steps would need to take place before the County could
agree to accept the park Therefore, the proffer was revised to leave open the possibility that
the park could be a public park. If not dedicated to the county, it would remain a private park.
F) Signage
Freestanding signs at the two commercial entrances will be limited to a single monument style
sign. Each sign shall be limited to 20 feet in height. Pylon signs will be prohibited on the site.
Staff Nole: Given the proximity of this site to residential uses, the applicant has been
encouraged to consider signs with a reduced height and sign face.
Rezoning #04 -06 Orrick Cemetery, Inc.
June 19, 2006
Page 9
G) Monetary Contribution
For each residential unit the applicant has proffered:
$248 for parks and recreation;
$166 for fire and rescue;
$37 for general government;
$76 for public safety; and
$31 for library
$558 for capital improvements, plus
$2,854 for road improvements to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road.
Staff Note: In the latest proffer statement, as compared to the original proffer statement, the
applicant has reduced the amount of cash proffer for public facilities from 82,912 to $558, per
residential unit. This was based on the applicant 's re- evaluation of the County's Development
Impact Model. The applicant has increased the amount of the transportation cash proffer from
$500 to 82,854, per unit. Recent rezonings in the Senseny Road area have proffered larger
contributions toward road improvements.
H) Tree Save
Following the Planning Commission meeting, a new proffer was added to preserve a minimum
of 8,000 square feet of tree save area in the location depicted on the revised GDP.
I) Corridor Enhancements
Following the Planning Commission meeting, a new proffer was added to provide street trees
along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road.
J) Interior Landscaping
At the Board of Supervisors meeting on May 24, 2006, the applicant added a proffer to provide
a minimum of 6% landscaping of the interior portions of parking lots. This is reflected in the
most recent proffer statement (June 2, 2006).
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 05/03/06 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
This application is somewhat consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The County will need
assurances that the multi family units will be compatible with the neighboring single family homes.
This can best be assured through more detailed design proffers. For the commercial component, the
applicant should carefully consider road standards and corridor appearance standards concerning: 1.) a
median on Senseny Road, 2.) street trees, 3.) the placement of buildings closer to the street, and 4.)
reduced signage. This could become the county's first neighborhood center, but the county needs to be
Rezoning #04 -06 Orrick Cemetery, Inc.
June 19, 2006
Page 10
assured, based on its currents policies and standards, that the development is of a high quality and
compatible with its surroundings.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY AND ACTION OF THE 05/03/06 MEETING:
Commission members were supportive of the staffs recommendation for enhanced corridor appearance
and spoke with the applicant about the possibility of providing street trees and a median along Senseny
Road and street trees along Greenwood Road The applicant agreed to work with the staff to achieve an
acceptable level of streetscape. Commissioners wanted to see a commitment from the applicant on
improving the design of the parking lot for appearance and water infiltration. The applicant agreed to
work directly with the staff for an improved design of the parking lot before going forward to the Board
of Supervisors. Commission members also expressed concern about having the 3.5 -acre park owned
and maintained by the HOA, but open to the public. Some members were not in favor of the park being
opened to the public, while others favored the idea of a centrally located green area being available to
the surrounding community. The applicant agreed to meet with the Department of Parks and Recreation
before the Board of Supervisors meeting for their recommendation on the possibility of the park area
being owned by the County and open to the public.
There were no public comments regarding the proposed rezoning. Based upon the applicant's
commitments, the Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote, recommended approval of Rezoning
Application #04 -06 with enhanced corridor appearance to include trees along Senseny and Greenwood
Roads; with the applicant to meet with the Parks and Recreation Department regarding the 3.5 -acre
park; and with an agreement by the applicant to improve the design of the parking lot for appearance
and water infiltration.
(Note: Commissioner Ours was absent from the meeting.)
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 05/24/06 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING:
This application is in general terms consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Staff had sought
more detailed design proffers for the commercial and multi family residential buildings. Staff had also
sought a median on Senseny Road. The Planning Commission requested street trees along Senseny
Road and Greenwood Road and these are now proffered. The Planning Commission requested a
discussion with Parks and Recreation on public dedication of the proposed park. Discussions have
taken place and the proffer statement revised to allow for future dedication of the park to the county.
The Planning Commission's recommendation on the parking lot design and water infiltration has not
been addressed by the applicant, despite suggestions from staff.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SUMMARY AND ACTION OF THE 05/24/06 MEETING:
Patrick Sowers, Patton Harris Rust Associates, and David Harper, Paramount Development, appeared
before the Board on behalf of the applicant. They explained the applicant's interpretation of the
development impact model. They stated the design proffers were purposely vague in order to allow the
best design to be brought forward. With regard to the Planning Commission conditions, the applicant
has proffered the street trees, the median will be left up to VDOT to recommend, and the parking lot
design will not change because the shale geology is not conducive to green paving to allow water run-

off. Mr. Sowers then submitted a revised proffer statement and directed the Board to proffer #19, which
increased the interior parking lot landscaping requirement from 5% to 6 During the public hearing
several representatives of Orrick Cemetery, Inc (H. M. Brooks, Chairman, Bill Buckner, Vice President,
Viola Gaither, and Dick Merlin Briscoe) spoke on the philanthropic mission of the Cemetery, including
working with youth, the elderly, substance abusers and those in need of housing. Four residents of the
Red Bud District (Joanne Leonardis, Chris Collins, Richard Crane, Teresa Collins) also spoke on the
project. Residents had concerns with some of Orrick's social projects and the age- restricted nature of
the residential site. There was support for the park being public and for walking /bike paths.
Development compatible with the existing community was stressed. Mr. Hamer clarified the non -profit
work of Orrick would be financed by this project. Supervisor Lemieux advised that he had met with the
applicant and he believed this application was lacking in several areas. Supervisor voted to postpone
the rezoning for up to 60 days.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 05/24/06 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING:
This application is in general terms consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Staff had sought
more detailed design proffers for the commercial and multi- family residential buildings. The concerns
of the Planning Commission have been addressed by the applicant in the latest proffer statement. Since
the public hearing, the applicant has also added to their cash contribution for fire and rescue and for
transportation.
The required public hearing for this application took place on May 24, 2006. A decision
regarding this rezoning application by the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The
applicant should be prepared to adequately address all concerns raised by the Board of
Supervisors.

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
PROPOSED USES: Mixed Use Commercial and Residential (all age- restricted)
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: The documentation within the application to rezone this property
appears to have significant measurable impact on Routes 656 and 657. These routes are the VDOT
roadways which have been considered as the access to the property referenced. VDOT is satisfied that
the transportation proffers offered in the Orrick Commons rezoning application signed December 2005
addresses transportation concerns associated with this request. While the proposed proffers appear
acceptable, VDOT offers the following comments: 6.1 acceptable; 6.2 acceptable; 6-3 acceptable;
6.4 acceptable; 6.5 initially acceptable, but VDOT reserves the right to require additional
dedications upon review of the site plan/entrance design. It should be noted that if 250' of separation
from the proposed Greenwood entrance and Greenpark Drive cannot be achieved, the developer may be
required to align the Greenwood entrance with Greenpark Drive. This would also require the developer
to enter into a signalization agreement with VDOT. Before development, this office will require a
complete set of construction plans detailing entrance designs, drainage features, and traffic flow data
from the I.T.E Trip Generation Manual. Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to
comment on all right -of -way needs, including right -of -way dedications, traffic signalization, and off -site
roadway improvements and drainage. Any work performed on the State's right -of -way must be covered
under a land use permit. This permit is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety
bond coverage.
Fire Marshal: Maintain access during all phases of construction. Municipal water supply for
firefighting must be available as soon as combustible materials arrive on site. Plan approval
recommended.
Public Works Department: 1. Refer to page 3 of 6, C. Site Suitability: Include a discussion of the
existing power line right -of -way and the impact on the proposed road network and related utility
development. Provide a detailed wetlands delineation with the master development plan (MDP)
submittal. A copy of the MDP should be submitted to the Corps of Engineers for their review and
comment. Refer to page 5 of 6, D. Transportation: The discussion references the requirement for a
right turn lane on westbound Senseny Road for vehicles turning north onto Greenwood Road
Considering this location is outside of the proposed rezoning boundaries, indicate if sufficient right -of-
way is available at this location. Refer to page 6 of 6, F. Site Drainage: Indicate what types of low
impact development techniques will be employed within the proposed development. Also, delineate
how much of the existing vegetation will be preserved as riparian buffers. All permanent storm water
management facilities shall be highlighted in the MDP. Refer to page 6 of 6, G. Solid Waste Facilities:
This discussion indicates that the homeowners' association (HOA) will be responsible for trash
collection within the residential portion of the project. However, the proffer statement, paragraph 3.2
indicates, "if they decide to use a commercial collection company This latter portion of item iii
should be removed from the proffer statement, thereby making this a definite requirement of the HOA.
Refer to page 3 of 7, proffer statement, paragraph 5.1: We applaud the use of BMP facilities. However,
the maintenance of these facilities shall be included in the responsibilities of the HOA or commercial

property owners. Refer to page 10 of the Traffic Impact Analysis by Patton Harris Rust Associates:
Revise the data in Table II to reflect the actual commercial development of 158,000 square feet,
proposed in the Introduction paragraph (page 1 of 6) of the impact analysis.
Staff Note: The issue of maintenance of BMP facilities has not been addressed by the applicant.
Frederick County Inspections: No comment at this time. Shall comment at the time of site plan and
subdivision lot review.
Frederick Winchester Service Authority: No comment.
Sanitation Authority: I concur with the water sewer comments made in the application package.
Frederick- Winchester Health Department: No objection if water and sewer are to be provided.
Department of Parks Recreation: The proposed plan appears to provide a monetary proffer
consistent with the county model for this housing type. The developer has also indicated that a public
recreational park, including playground equipment equivalent to monetary value of the required
recreational units, will be located within the 3.5 acres of open space provided. Plan also shows a bike
trail, meeting Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department standards, along Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road which is to be maintained by the development.
Frederick County Public Schools: Based on the information provided, it is anticipated that the
proposed 175 single family and multi family units will have no impact on the school division upon
build -out due to the units being age restricted.
Winchester Regional Airport: While the proposed development lies within the airport's Part 77
surfaces and airspace, it appears that the proposed site plan should not impact operations at the
Winchester Regional Airport.
Frederick County Attorney: Please see attached letter dated May 3, 2006 from Robert T. Mitchell,
Jr., Esquire.
Historic Resources Advisory Board: Upon review of the proposed rezoning, it appears that the
proposal does not significantly impact historic resources and it is not necessary to schedule a formal
review of the rezoning application by the HRAB. According to the Rural Landmark Survey, there are
no significant historic structures located on the properties nor are there any possible historic districts in
the vicinity. It is also noted that the National Parks Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah
Valley does not identify any core battlefields that his proposed rezoning would directly impact.
Planning Department: Please see attached letter dated January 26, 2006from Susan K. Eddy, Senior
Planner.

Planning Zoning:
1) Site History
The original Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S.G.S. Stephenson Quadrangle) identifies this
property as being zoned A -2 (Agriculture General). The County's agricultural zoning districts
were combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an amendment to the
Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The corresponding revision of the
zoning map resulted in the re- mapping of the subject property and all other A -1 and A -2 zoned
land to the RA District.
2) Comprehensive Policy Plan
The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as
the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public
facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to
protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a
composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County.
[Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 1 -1J
Land Use
The site is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water
Service Area (SWSA).
The site is not within the limits of any small area plans in the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The
land use plan identifies the entire Senseny Road corridor for residential uses. However, the Plan
(6 -72) does call for neighborhood business uses in the vicinity of residential areas. Given this
key intersection of Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, and the existing B2 zoned properties at
this intersection. developing the western portion of the Orrick property for neighborhood
commercial development and the eastern portion for residential, if done in a compatible manner,
could be consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The multi family housing, in the
center of the site, as proffered on the Generalized Development Plan, provides a transition
between the retail portion of the site and the single family portion of the site. Siting elderly
housing adjacent to retail /office uses is desirable, and with the safeguards called for in the
Comprehensive Plan when multi family units are adjacent to single family units, the mix of uses
could be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
While Senseny Road is not specifically a business corridor, the business design standards in the
Comprehensive Plan are relevant to this application. The Plan calls for landscaping along the
roadway, screening adjoining uses, and controlling the size, number and location of signs.
StaffNote: The on -going Urban Development Area (UDA) Study has preliminarily designated

sought, and policies and standards would need to be adopted. As these steps have not taken
place, the general policies in the existing Comprehensive Plan, which call for high quality
design and compatibility between uses and housing types would need to be followed. Given the
lack of details concerning the residential portion of the site, the county will need to be confident
that the multi family housing will be compatible with the existing single-family housing and that
the commercial uses will be complementary with residential uses.
Transportation
The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Policy Plan designates Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road as improved major collectors. This translates to a four -lane divided boulevard
section, such as is being implemented with Warrior Drive. The idealized intersection design in
the Comprehensive Plan (6 -15) illustrates appropriate features including raised medians with
landscaping, landscaping along the edge of the right -of -way, and sidewalks.
The Frederick County Bicycle Plan designates Senseny Road as a short-term designated route.
StaffNote: The applicant is partially implementing the Eastern Road Plan. On Senseny Road a
new lane is being provided. Following the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant
proffered street trees along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road However, the applicant has
not committed to a median on Senseny Road.
3) Site SuitabilitvfEnvironment
No steep slopes exist on the property. No portion of this site is within the 100 -year flood plain
according to the Flood Insurance Study Map for Frederick County. U.S.G.S. maps show one
stream and one pond on the property, both in the northeast corner. The applicant has prepared a
Wetland Delineation Report and a Request for Jurisdictional Wetlands Determination. That
report documented two wetlands in the southeast corner of the site and one circular ditch
holding water, that is not a jurisdictional water of the U.S. The wetlands will be further
analyzed further at the MDP and site plan stages Some mature woodlands, which may form
part of the landscape requirement, are located on the eastern portion of the site.
The General Soil Map of the Soil Survey of Frederick County. Virginia indicates that the soils
comprising the subject parcel fall under the Weikert- Berks- Blairton soil association, which is
the predominant association on land located east of Interstate 81. The characteristics of this soil
type and any implications for site development are manageable through the site engineering
process. No soil types on this site are classified as prime farmland soil.

Traffic Impact Analysis.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was prepared for this application using composite data collected
from other studies in the area as well as actual traffic counts. Two TIA addendums were also
prepared. The first addendum (labeled Option B and numbered as pages 14a and 14b in the
TIA) incorporates the alignment of the site entrance on Greenwood Road with Greenpark Drive.
This is the proffered road alignment. The second addendum, dated April 5, 2006, models a
different mix of uses than the original TIA. It models less retail floorspace but more office,
more day -care and more overall floorspace (158,000 square feet) than originally modeled. The
projected trip generation decreased slightly with this mix of commercial uses.
Staff note: The precise mix of commercial uses and floorspace is not proffered. Only the
maximum floorspace of 158,000 square feet is proffered.
Using traffic generation figures from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, 7 Edition, the revised
TIA projects that the proposed development will produce 11,547 vehicle trips per day (VPD).
The TIA further indicates that the study area roads and intersections have the capacity to
accommodate the trips generated by the project at Level of Service C conditions or better, given
the proffered improvements. Improvements to the intersection of Senseny Road and Channing
Drive (turn lanes and signalization) have been proffered by the developers of the Channing land
bays when the first site plan is submitted for their B2 area. The TIA shows level of Service
D(F) at this intersection without the signalization proffered by others, but this failing level of
service is reached with or without the Orrick development.
Water and sanitary sewer facilities are available via the Lynnehaven Subdivision to the east.
The majority of the site will be served via gravity flow from west to east. Using the standards
water consumption rates for single family attached /multi- family residential uses and general
consumption/office uses, the proposed development is projected to consume approximately
59,200 GPD (gallons per day) of water and produce equivalent sewer flows.
C. Community Facilities
The applicant has proffered $475 for each residential unit to offset the impacts to community
facilities. This amount is based the County's new Development Impact Model. It excludes the
amount for schools because this is a proffered age restricted community.
Staffnote: The impact model for Orrick was based on 55,000 square feet of retail floorspace as
this is proffered to be built prior to the occupancy of any residences The latest proffer
statement includes a cash proffer of $475 per residential unit for capital facilities which is
much different than the 82,912 per unit originally proffered. The revision is based on the
applicant's re- evaluation of the county's new Development Impact Model as it applies to age
restricted dwellings.

Generalized Development Plan Dated November 15, 2005 and Revised May 12, 2006
Commercial floorspace shall not exceed 158,000 square feet. A minimum of 55,000 square
feet of commercial floorspace shall be constructed prior to occupancy of any residential
dwelling. Adult retail uses are prohibited and car washes are prohibited adjacent to residential
properties. All units will be age- restricted and will comprise a mix of single family and multi-
family units.
B) Homeowners Association
The residential homeowners association (HOA) will own and maintain all common areas. The
HOA will be responsible for a common solid waste disposal program provided by a collection
company.
The applicant will install a traffic signal at the project entrance on Senseny Road, provide a left
turn lane on eastbound Senseny Road at that entrance, and provide a new westbound lane on
Senseny Road from the eastern end of the property to the intersection of Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road. The applicant will install a new northbound lane on Greenwood Road from
the intersection of Greenwood Road and Senseny Road to the project entrance on Greenwood
Road. The applicant will install signalization at the entrance on Greenwood Road when
requested by VDOT. All other road improvements to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road will
be completed prior to occupancy of any commercial buildings. The applicant will dedicate an
additional 10 feet of right -of -way on Senseny Road and 15 feet of right -of -way on Greenwood
Road to VDOT, within 90 days of notice by the county. Access along Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road will be limited to one entrance on each. The applicant will connect the
residential and commercial portions of the site. The site access on Senseny Road will have a
median with street trees at the entrance. Inter- parcel connectors with adjacent properties will be
identified at the Master Development Plan (MDP) stage.
StaffNote: The Eastern Road Plan calls for Senseny Road to be improved to a major collector.
The county standards calls for a four lane divided section with landscaping along the edge of
the right -of -way and a landscaped median. While sufficient right -of -way may not exist for a full
median with trees, a portion of the median could be provided with this project such that a full
median can be provided when the south side of Senseny Road develops.
The applicant has proffered to construct Farmington Boulevard on their property to base
pavement, and bonded to final payment, prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the
first single family dwelling unit.
Rezoning #04 -06 Orrick Cemetery, Inc.
May 15, 2006
Page 8
D) Design Standards
The principal facade and any other facade facing Senseny Road or Greenwood Road of any
commercial building will be limited to a cast stone, stone, brick, formed concrete, glass, wood
stucco or other masonry. All commercial buildings will have standing seam metal roofs.
Staff Note: Earlier renderings presented to staff for this project showed buildings on the pad
sites close to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, with the parking lots hidden behind. Staff
has encouraged the applicant to commit to this layout. Staff also has concerns with the use of
formed concrete as a possible dominant building material.
The multi family units will have facades of brick, stone, simulated stone, wood, Hardishingle
and /or Harditrim, or materials of comparable quality, Azek Trimboards, Fypon brackets and/or
cornice details, stucco and glass. The apartment structures will incorporate non symmetrical
massing, bays and columned porches, as generally depicted on the conceptual drawings
identified as Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
Staff note: As stated earlier, the county will want to be assured that the multi family units are
compatible with the surrounding single family units. The design proffers are vague and the
proffered conceptual drawings lack detail. Staff is not convinced that a compatible design is
guaranteed. Also, ExhibitA shows a four storey building. Acceptance of this exhibit does not
give approval for a four storey building. The proffer and exhibit relate only to non symmetrical
massing, bays and columned porches.
E) Parks and Recreation
The applicant will design and construct a 3.5 acre park. If in the future both the county and
applicant find it to be in the best interest of the county, this park may be dedicated to the county
for use by the general public. The applicant will construct a 10 foot asphalt pedestrian bike trail
along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, prior to occupancy of any commercial building.
StaffNote: Originally the applicant had proffered to design and construct the 3.5 acre park to
be open to the public, but owned and maintained by the residential homeowners association.
Some Planning Commissioners had concerns over the long term maintenance and liability of
such an arrangement on the homeowners association. Following the Planning Commission
meeting, the applicant met with Parks and Recreation, who expressed a strong interest in a
public park in this area. A number of steps would need to take place before the County could
agree to accept the park. Therefore, the proffer was revised to leave open the possibility that
the park could be a public park If not dedicated to the county, it would remain a private park.
F) Signage
Freestanding signs at the two commercial entrances will be limited to a single monument style
sign. Each sign shall be limited to 20 feet in height. Pylon signs will be prohibited on the site.
Rezoning #04 -06 Orrick Cemetery, Inc.
May 15, 2006
Page 9
Staff Note: Given the proximity of this site to residential uses, the applicant has been
encouraged to consider signs with a reduced height and sign face.
G) Monetary Contribution
For each residential unit the applicant has proffered:
$248 for parks and recreation;
$83 for fire and rescue;
$37 for general government;
$76 for public safety; and
$31 for library;
$475 for capital improvements, plus
$1,500 for road improvements to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road
Staff Note: In the latest proffer statement, as compared to the original proffer statement, the
applicant has reduced the amount of cash proffer for public facilities from $2, 912 to $475, per
residential unit. This was based on the applicant's re- evaluation of the County's Development
Impact Model. The applicant has increased the amount of the transportation cash proffer from
$500 to Si, 500, per unit. Recent rezonings in the Senseny Road area have proffered larger
contributions toward road improvements.
H) Tree Save
Following the Planning Commission meeting, a new proffer was added to preserve a minimum
of 8,000 square feet of tree save area in the location depicted on the revised GDP.
I) Corridor Enhancements
Following the Planning Commission meeting, a new proffer was added to provide street trees
along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 05/03/06 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
This application is somewhat consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The County will need
assurances that the multi family units will be compatible with the neighboring single family homes.
This can best be assured through more detailed design proffers. For the commercial component, the
applicant should carefully consider road standards and corridor appearance standards concerning: 1.) a
median on Senseny Road, 2.) street trees, 3.) the placement of buildings closer to the street, and 4.)
reduced signage. This could become the county's first neighborhood center, but the county needs to be
assured, based on its currents policies and standards, that the development is of a high quality and
compatible with its surroundings.

PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY AND ACTION OF THE 05/03/06 MEETING:
Commission members were supportive of the staffs recommendation for enhanced corridor appearance
and spoke with the applicant about the possibility of providing street trees and a median along Senseny
Road and street trees along Greenwood Road. The applicant agreed to work with the staff to achieve an
acceptable level of streetscape. Commissioners wanted to see a commitment from the applicant on
improving the design of the parking lot for appearance and water infiltration. The applicant agreed to
work directly with the staff for an improved design of the parking lot before going forward to the Board
of Supervisors. Commission members also expressed concern about having the 3.5 -acre park owned
and maintained by the HOA, but open to the public. Some members were not in favor of the park being
opened to the public, while others favored the idea of a centrally located green area being available to
the surrounding community. The applicant agreed to meet with the Department of Parks and Recreation
before the Board of Supervisors meeting for their recommendation on the possibility of the park area
being owned by the County and open to the public.
There were no public comments regarding the proposed rezoning. Based upon the applicant's
commitments, the Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote, recommended approval of Rezoning
Application #04 -06 with enhanced corridor appearance to include trees along Senseny and Greenwood
Roads; with the applicant to meet with the Parks and Recreation Department regarding the 3.5 -acre
park; and with an agreement by the applicant to improve the design of the parking lot for appearance
and water infiltration.
(Note: Commissioner Ours was absent from the meeting.)
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 05/24/06 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING:
This application is in general terms consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Staff had sought
more detailed design proffers for the commercial and multi family residential buildings. Staff had also
sought a median on Senseny Road. The Planning Commission requested street trees along Senseny
Road and Greenwood Road and these are now proffered. The Planning Commission requested a
discussion with Parks and Recreation on public dedication of the proposed park. Discussions have
taken place and the proffer statement revised to allow for future dedication of the park to the county.
The Planning Commission's recommendation on the parking lot design and water infiltration has not
been addressed by the applicant, despite suggestions from staff.
Following the required public hearing, a decision regarding this rezoning application by the
Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. The applicant should be prepared to adequately
address all concerns raised by the Board of Supervisors.

PROPOSED USES: Mixed Use Commercial and Residential (all age restricted)
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: The documentation within the application to rezone this property
appears to have significant measurable impact on Routes 656 and 657. These routes are the VDOT
roadways which have been considered as the access to the property referenced. VDOT is satisfied that
the transportation proffers offered in the Orrick Commons rezoning application signed December 2005
addresses transportation concerns associated with this request. While the proposed proffers appear
acceptable, VDOT offers the following comments: 6.1 acceptable; 6.2 acceptable; 6 -3 acceptable;
6.4 acceptable; 6.5 initially acceptable, but VDOT reserves the right to require additional
dedications upon review of the site plan/entrance design. It should be noted that if 250' of separation
from the proposed Greenwood entrance and Greenpark Drive cannot be achieved, the developer may be
required to align the Greenwood entrance with Greenpark Drive. This would also require the developer
to enter into a signalization agreement with VDOT. Before development, this office will require a
complete set of construction plans detailing entrance designs, drainage features, and traffic flow data
from the I.T.E Trip Generation Manual, Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to
comment on all right -of -way needs, including right -of -way dedications, traffic signalization, and off -site
roadway improvements and drainage. Any work performed on the State's right -of -way must be covered
under a land use permit. This permit is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety
bond coverage.
Fire Marshal: Maintain access during all phases of construction. Municipal water supply for
firefighting must be available as soon as combustible materials arrive on site. Plan approval
recommended.
Public Works Department: 1. Refer to page 3 of 6, C. Site Suitability: Include a discussion of the
existing power line right -of -way and the impact on the proposed road network and related utility
development. Provide a detailed wetlands delineation with the master development plan (MDP)
submittal. A copy of the MDP should be submitted to the Corps of Engineers for their review and
comment. Refer to page 5 of 6, D. Transportation: The discussion references the requirement for a
right turn lane on westbound Senseny Road for vehicles turning north onto Greenwood Road.
Considering this location is outside of the proposed rezoning boundaries, indicate if sufficient right -of-
way is available at this location. Refer to page 6 of 6, F. Site Drainage: Indicate what types of low
impact development techniques will be employed within the proposed development. Also, delineate
how much of the existing vegetation will be preserved as riparian buffers. All permanent storm water
management facilities shall be highlighted in the MDP. Refer to page 6 of 6, G. Solid Waste Facilities:
This discussion indicates that the homeowners' association (HOA) will be responsible for trash
collection within the residential portion of the project. However, the proffer statement, paragraph 3.2
indicates, "if they decide to use a commercial collection company This latter portion of item iii
should be removed from the proffer statement, thereby making this a definite requirement of the HOA.
Refer to page 3 of 7, proffer statement, paragraph 5.1: We applaud the use of BMP facilities. However,
the maintenance of these facilities shall be included in the responsibilities of the HOA or commercial

property owners. Refer to page 10 of the Traffic Impact Analysis by Patton Harris Rust Associates:
Revise the data in Table II to reflect the actual commercial development of 158,000 square feet,
proposed in the Introduction paragraph (page 1 of 6) of the impact analysis.
Staff Note: The issue of maintenance of BMP facilities has not been addressed by the applicant.
Frederick County Inspections: No comment at this time. Shall comment at the time of site plan and
subdivision lot review.
Frederick Winchester Service Authority: No comment.
Sanitation Authority: I concur with the water sewer comments made in the application package.
Frederick Winchester Health Department: No objection if water and sewer are to be provided.
Department of Parks Recreation: The proposed plan appears to provide a monetary proffer
consistent with the county model for this housing type. The developer has also indicated that a public
recreational park, including playground equipment equivalent to monetary value of the required
recreational units, will be located within the 3.5 acres of open space provided. Plan also shows a bike
trail, meeting Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department standards, along Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road which is to be maintained by the development.
Frederick County Public Schools: Based on the information provided, it is anticipated that the
proposed 175 single family and multi family units will have no impact on the school division upon
build -out due to the units being age restricted.
Winchester Regional Airport: While the proposed development lies within the airport's Part 77
surfaces and airspace, it appears that the proposed site plan should not impact operations at the
Winchester Regional Airport.
Frederick County Attorney: Please see attached letter dated January 30, 2006 from Robert T.
Mitchell, Jr., Esquire.
Historic Resources Advisory Board: Upon review of the proposed rezoning, it appears that the
proposal does not significantly impact historic resources and it is not necessary to schedule a formal
review of the rezoning application by the HRAB. According to the Rural Landmark Survey, there are
no significant historic structures located on the properties nor are there any possible historic districts in
the vicinity. It is also noted that the National Parks Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah
Valley does not identify any core battlefields that his proposed rezoning would directly impact.

Planning Zoning:
1) Site History
The original Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S.G.S. Stephenson Quadrangle) identifies this
property as being zoned A -2 (Agriculture General). The County's agricultural zoning districts
were combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an amendment to the
Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The corresponding revision of the
zoning map resulted in the re- mapping of the subject property and all other A -1 and A -2 zoned
land to the RA District.
2) Comprehensive Policy Plan
The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as
the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public
facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to
protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a
composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County.
[Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 1 -1]
Lana' Use
The site is located within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water
Service Area (SWSA).
The site is not within the limits of any small area plans in the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The
land use plan identifies the entire Senseny Road corridor for residential uses. However, the Plan
(6 -72) does call for neighborhood business uses in the vicinity of residential areas. Given this
key intersection of Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, and the existing B2 zoned properties at
this intersection, developing the western portion of the Orrick property for neighborhood
commercial development and the eastern portion for residential, if done in a compatible manner,
could be consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The multi- family housing, in the
center of the site, as proffered on the Generalized Development Plan, provides a transition
between the retail portion of the site and the single family portion of the site. Siting elderly
housing adjacent to retail /office uses is desirable, and with the safeguards called for in the
Comprehensive Plan when multi family units are adjacent to single family units, the mix of uses
could be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
While Senseny Road is not specifically a business corridor, the business design standards in the
Comprehensive Plan are relevant to this application. The Plan calls for landscaping along the
roadway, screening adjoining uses, and controlling the size, number and location of signs.
StaffNote: The on -going Urban Development Area (UDA) Study has preliminarily designated
this area for a neighborhood center. Before this could happen, community input would be

sought, and policies and standards would need to be adopted. As these steps have not taken
place, the general policies in the existing Comprehensive Plan, which call for high quality
design and compatibility between uses and housing types would need to be followed Given the
lack of details concerning the residential portion of the site, the county will need to be confident
that the multi family housing will be compatible with the existing single-family housing and that
the commercial uses will be complementary with residential uses.
Transportation
The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Policy Plan designates Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road as improved major collectors. This translates to a four -lane divided boulevard
section, such as is being implemented with Warrior Drive. The idealized intersection design in
the Comprehensive Plan (6 -15) illustrates appropriate features including raised medians with
landscaping, landscaping along the edge of the right -of -way, and sidewalks.
The Frederick County Bicycle Plan designates Senseny Road as a short-term designated route.
Staff Note: The applicant is partially implementing the Eastern Road Plan. On Senseny Road
a new lane is being provided. However, the applicant has not committed to a road section with
landscaping and a median. Along Greenwood Road, given the current road configuration and
access needed for the Greenwood Fire and Rescue, a median in not proposed by the County at
this time. The applicant should however, address landscaping on Greenwood Road.
3) Site SuitabilitvlEnvironment
No steep slopes exist on the property. No portion of this site is within the 100 -year flood plain
according to the Flood Insurance Study Map for Frederick County. U.S.G.S. maps show one
stream and one pond on the property, both in the northeast corner. The applicant has prepared a
Wetland Delineation Report and a Request for Jurisdictional Wetlands Determination. That
report documented two wetlands in the southeast corner of the site and one circular ditch
holding water, that is not a jurisdictional water of the U.S. The wetlands will be further
analyzed further at the MDP and site plan stages. Some mature woodlands, which may form
part of the landscape requirement, are located on the eastern portion of the site.
The General Soil Map of the Soil Survey of Frederick County, Virginia indicates that the soils
comprising the subject parcel fall under the Weikert- Berks Blairton soil association, which is
the predominant association on land located east of Interstate 81. The characteristics of this soil
type and any implications for site development are manageable through the site engineering
process. No soil types on this site are classified as prime farmland soil.

Traffic Impact Analysis.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was prepared for this application using composite data collected
from other studies in the area as well as actual traffic counts. Two TIA addendums were also
prepared. The first addendum (labeled Option B and numbered as pages 14a and 14b in the
TIA) incorporates the alignment of the site entrance on Greenwood Road with Greenpark Drive.
This is the proffered road alignment. The second addendum, dated April 5, 2006, models a
different mix of uses than the original T1A. It models less retail floorspace but more office,
more day -care and more overall floorspace (158,000 square feet) than originally modeled. The
projected trip generation decreased slightly with this mix of commercial uses.
Staff note: The precise mix of commercial uses and floorspace is not proffered. Only the
maximum floorspace of 158, 000 square feet is proffered.
Using traffic generation figures from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, 7 Edition, the revised
TIA projects that the proposed development will produce 11,547 vehicle trips per day (VPD).
The TIA further indicates that the study area roads and intersections have the capacity to
accommodate the trips generated by the project at Level of Service C conditions or better, given
the proffered improvements. Improvements to the intersection of Senseny Road and Channing
Drive (turn lanes and signalization) have been proffered by the developers of the Channing land
bays when the first site plan is submitted for their B2 area. The TIA shows level of Service
D(F) at this intersection without the signalization proffered by others, but this failing level of
service is reached with or without the Orrick development.
Water and sanitary sewer facilities are available via the Lynnehaven Subdivision to the east.
The majority of the site will be served via gravity flow from west to east. Using the standards
water consumption rates for single family attached /multi fancily residential uses and general
consumption/office uses, the proposed development is projected to consume approximately
59,200 GPD (gallons per day) of water and produce equivalent sewer flows.
C. Community Facilities
The applicant has proffered $475 for each residential unit to offset the impacts to community
facilities. This amount is based the County's new Development Impact Model. It excludes the
amount for schools because this is a proffered age restricted community.
Staff note: The impact model for Orrick was based on 55,000 square feet ofretail floorspace as
this is proffered to be built prior to the occupancy of any residences The latest proffer
statement includes a cash proffer of 8475 per residential unit for capital facilities which is
much different than the 82,912 per unit originally proffered. The revision is based on the
applicant's re- evaluation of the county's new Development Impact Model as it applies to age
restricted dwellings.

The residential homeowners association (HOA) will own and maintain all common areas
including a 3.5 acre park which, by proffer, will be open to the public. The HOA will be
responsible for a common solid waste disposal program provided by a collection company.
C) Transportation
The applicant will install a traffic signal at the project entrance on Senseny Road, provide a left
turn lane on eastbound Senseny Road at that entrance, and provide a new westbound lane on
Senseny Road from the eastern end of the property to the intersection of Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road The applicant will install a new northbound lane on Greenwood Road from
the intersection of Greenwood Road and Senseny Road to the project entrance on Greenwood
Road. The applicant will install signalization at the entrance on Greenwood Road when
requested by VDOT. All other road improvements to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road will
be completed prior to occupancy of any commercial buildings. The applicant will dedicate an
additional 10 feet of right -of -way on Senseny Road and 15 feet of right -of -way on Greenwood
Road to VDOT, within 90 days of notice by the county. Access along Senseny Road and
Greenwood Road will be limited to one entrance on each. The applicant will connect the
residential and commercial portions of the site. The site access on Senseny Road will have a
median with street trees at the entrance. Inter parcel connectors with adjacent properties will be
identified at the Master Development Plan (MDP) stage.
StaffNote: The Eastern Road Plan calls for Senseny Road to be improved to a major collector.
The county standards calls for a four lane divided section with landscaping along the edge of
the right -of -way and a landscaped median. While sufficient right -of -way may not exist for a full
median with trees, a portion of the median could be provided with this project such that a full
median can be provided when the south side of Senseny Road develops. The applicant is
encouraged to provide street trees along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road and on each side
of the proffered boulevard entrance, consistent with earlier plans shown to staff and the
county's own intersection design in the Comprehensive Policy Plan (6 -15).

D) Design Standards
The applicant has proffered to construct Farmington Boulevard on their property to base
pavement, and bonded to final payment, prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the
first single family dwelling unit.
The principal facade and any other facade facing Senseny Road or Greenwood Road of any
commercial building will be limited to a cast stone, stone, brick, formed concrete, glass, wood
stucco or other masonry. All commercial buildings will have standing seam metal roofs.
Staff Note: Earlier renderings presented to stafffor this project showed buildings on the pad
sites close to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, with the parking lots hidden behind. Staff
has encouraged the applicant to commit to this layout. Staff also has concerns with the use of
formed concrete as a possible dominant building material.
The multi- family units will have facades of brick, stone, simulated stone, wood, Hardishingle
and /or Harditrim, or materials of comparable quality, Azek Trimboards, Fypon brackets and /or
cornice details, stucco and glass. The apartment structures will incorporate non symmetrical
massing, bays and columned porches, as generally depicted on the conceptual drawings
identified as Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
Staff note: As stated earlier, the county will want to be assured that the multi family units are
compatible with the surrounding single family units. The design proffers are vague and the
proffered conceptual drawings lack detail. Staff is not convinced that a compatible design is
guaranteed.
E) Parks and Recreation
The applicant will design and construct a 3.5 acre park to be open to the public, but owned and
maintained by the residential homeowners association. The applicant will construct a 10 foot
asphalt pedestrian bike trail along Senseny Road and Greenwood Road, prior to occupancy of
any commercial building.
StaffNote: It is unclear if trail will be directly adjacent to the road or whether landscaping
will be placed in between. The latter is encouraged for safety and aesthetic reasons.
F) Signage
The applicant will limit freestanding entrance signs at the proposed entrances to a single
monument style sign. Each of these signs shall be limited to 20 feet in height. Pylon signs will
be prohibited on the site.
Staff Note: Given the proximity of this site to residential uses, the applicant has been
encouraged to consider signs with a reduced height and sign face.

G) Monetary Contribution
For each residential unit the applicant has proffered:
$248 for parks and recreation;
$83 for fire and rescue;
$37 for general government;
$76 for public safety; and
$31 for library;
$475 for capital improvements, plus
$1,500 for road improvements to Senseny Road and Greenwood Road.
Staff Note: In the latest proffer statement, as compared to the original proffer statement, the
applicant has reduced the amount of cash proffer for public facilities from $2, 9/2 to $475, per
residential unit. This was based on the applicant's re- evaluation of the County's Development
Impact Model. The applicant has increased the amount of the transportation cash profferfrom
$500 to $1,500, per unit. Recent rezonings in the Senseny Road area have proffered larger
contributions toward road improvements.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 05/03/06 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
This application is somewhat consistent with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The County will need
assurances that the multi family units will be compatible with the neighboring single family homes.
This can best be assured through more detailed design proffers. For the commercial component, the
applicant should carefully consider road standards and corridor appearance standards concerning: I a
median on Senseny Road, 2) street trees, 3.) the placement of buildings closer to the street, and 4.)
reduced signage. This could become the county's first neighborhood center, but the county needs to be
assured, based on its currents policies and standards, that the development is of a high quality and
compatible with its surroundings.
Following the requirement for a public hearing, a recommendation
by the Planning Commission to the Board of Supervisors concerning this rezoning
application would be appropriate. The applicant should be prepared to adequately
address all concerns raised by the Planning Commission.
