(VDOT) Subject: VDOT Comments to Proposed Graystone Proffer Amendment Attachments: Scanned from EDNXerox001.pd1 VDOT has reviewed the submittal for an amendment to the existing proffers dated January 25, 2010 and provides the following comments: There was no accompanying documentation that supports the need for a change in the existing approved proffers. The question of eliminating the medians defies the research by both VDOT and AASHTO that identifies the medians as a critical part of building a safe 4 -1ane high volume roadway. Urban collector streets with four or more lanes should include width for an appropriate median treatment, where practical. In addition to restricting left turn movements, medians provide a recovery area for out -of- control vehicles, provide a stopping area in case of emergencies, allow space for storage of left- turning and U- turning vehicles, diminish headlight glare and medians provide separation from opposing traffic which increase driver comfort and capacity. This criteria was a significant part of the proffers that convinced VDOT to support the original rezoning. At full build -out of both Graystone and Snowden Bridge, this portion of roadway will be mixing industrial /commercial traffic with residential traffic when Snowden Bridge Boulevard is completed in its entirety. The need for the median will become more critical as traffic increases. In addition to eliminating median, the proposed proffer change appears to eliminate curb and gutter as well. How will curb & gutter /median proffered (U4D design) in other sections along Snowden Bridge Boulevard tie - in with non -curb & gutter /median sections? Transitioning from a U4D Section to a non -curb & gutter and non - median section is unconventional and inconsistent and could affect driver performance and safety. VDOT advocates maintaining a consistent road section throughout the entire Snowden Bridge Boulevard, as originally proffered. Therefore, with the documentation provided with this request, VDOT cannot support the requested amendment in its current form. <<Scanned from EDNXerox001.pdf>> Lloyd A.

E E -mail: February 10, 2012 Re: Graystone Corp. Office and Industrial Park — Proposed Proffer Amendments Dear Mr. Farland: ` You have submitted proposed amendments to paragraphs 4 and 5 of part D (Transportation Improvements) of the Proffer Statement, dated January 25, 2010, and approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 27, 2010, for the above - referenced project. The project encompasses Tax Parcels 43 -A -158, 44 -A -25 & 44 -A -26, comprised of 271.39± acres, located in the Stonewall Magisterial District (the "Property "). The Property is zoned Ml (Light Manufacturing), with proffers. I have now reviewed the proposed amendments and it is my opinion that, subject to just one comment, the proffer statement containing the proposed amendments would be in a form to meet the requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance and the Code of Virginia, and would be legally sufficient as a proffer statement. My one commends that the proposed new /revised proffer statement will need to reflect a current revision date and not the final revision date of January 25, 2010, from the original rezoning. I have not reviewed the substance of the Proffers as to whether the Proffers are suitable and appropriate for this specific development, as it is my understanding that that review will be done by staff and the Planning Commission. xmcyreiv yours, Attorney cc: Michael T. Ruddy, Deputy Director of Planning and Development 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601
