RE: Request for Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) Comments
Conditional Use Permit — West Oaks Special Event Center
4035 Middle Road, Winchester; PIN# 74-A-3
Zoning: RA (Rural Areas) District
Dear Mr. Snapp:
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above referenced
Conditional Use Permit application during their meeting on March 27, 2018. The HRAB reviewed
information associated with the Rural Landmarks Survey, information from the Virginia Department of
Historic Resources (VDHR) and information provided by the Applicant. This application seeks to operate
an event center at 4305 Middle Road, Winchester. This property is within the Back Creek Magisterial
District.
Historic Resources Advisory Board Comments:
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley, published by the National Park Service, does not
identify the proposed site or the surrounding areas as being part of a battlefield. The Rural Landmarks
Survey Report for Frederick County, Virginia, identifies two structures located within the vicinity of the
proposed Conditional Use Permit.
After reviewing this information and the Applicant's materials and proposals, the Historic Resources
Advisory Board (HRAB) recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit as presented.
Thank you for the chance to comment on this application. Please call if you have any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,
Candice E. Perkins, AICP, CZA
