RE: Proposed Rezoning of Rock Harbor Golf Course
Dear Evan:
107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000
COUNTY of FREDERICK
Department of Planning and Development
540/665 -5651
FAX: 540/665 -6395
I have had the opportunity to review the draft rezoning application for the Rock Harbor
Golf Course. This application seeks to rezone a 58.08 acre portion of a 425.90 acre
parcel, tax parcel number 52 -A -256, owned by Stuart M. Perry, Inc. from EM (Extractive
Manufacturing) District to RA (Rural Areas) District. Staff's review comments are listed
below for your consideration.
1. General. It is not necessary to label this application a down zoning. This is a
rezoning of the 58.08 acre parcel from EM (Extractive Manufacturing) District to
RA (Rural Areas) District. Alter the wording in the application to reflect this
change.
2. Land Use. The Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan designates
the site for industrial use. It would be acceptable for the periphery of the site to
function as a golf course to buffer the surrounding land from the quarry operations.
However, it would not be acceptable to rezone the property planned for industrial
use for housing. Consider language in the proffer statement prohibiting residential
uses.
Traniportation Enhancements. The proffer to dedicate a 1.49 acre portion of tax
parcel 53 -A -88 to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for the Route
37 southbound off-ramp needs to be verified by VDOT. Ensure that the land
dedicated is adequate to address this improvement. Access to this site is currently
serviced by a single commercial entrance along Merrimam's Lane (Route 621).
Consider proffering this entrance as the only access to this site, and prohibit public
entrances on Round Hill Road (Route 803) and Woodchuck Lane (Route 654).

Subject: Rock Harbor Golf Course Expansion VDOT Comments to Rezoning
The documentation within the application to rezone this property appears to have little
measurable impact on Route 621. This route is the VDOT roadway which has been considered
as the access to the property referenced.
VDOT is satisfied that the transportation proffers offered in the Rock Harbor Golf Course
Rezoning Application dated May 25, 2006 addresses transportation concerns associated with
this request.
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.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to comment.

RE: Request for Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) Comments
Rock Harbor Golf Course Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit
PIN(S): 52 -A -256, 313, 313A; 53 -A -88
Dear Mr. Wyatt:
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above
referenced rezoning proposal during their meeting of July 18, 2006. The HRAB reviewed
information associated with the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey Report, the
Virginia Department of Historic Resources, as well as information provided by the applicant.
The HRAB felt that the proffers associated with historic preservation and recognition were
adequate and did not request any changes to the proposed rezoning.
Thank you for the chance to comment on this application. Please call if you have any
questions or concerns.
Sincerely,

We have reviewed the referenced rezoning proposal. While the site does lie
within the airspace operations of the Winchester Regional Airport, it is outside of
the close in part 77 surfaces and should not impact airport operations.

Proffer Statement

PLEASE REPLY TO:
P. 0. BOX 848
WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22604
I have reviewed the above referenced Proffer Statement. It is my opinion that
the Proffer Statement is generally in a form to meet the requirements of the Frederick
County Zoning Ordinance and the Code of Virginia, subject to the following
cornrnents:
1. In Proffer A, it is unclear to me what is intended by the second
sentence of the proffer. The first sentence says that the property will be developed
as an expansion of the Golf Course, and the exhibit shows the location of Golf Course
areas in the. property being rezoned. Does the second sentence mean that in the future
the areas shown on the exhibit as golf course areas could be converted to other use,
or does the second sentence mean that other parts of the property could be used for
uses permitted in the RA District, for example single- family residences? Perhaps this
could be clarified.

2. Proffer B provides for the dedication of property which is not a part
of the property subject to the rezoning, but which is represented to be owned by the
Applicant. •If feasible, I would suggest that a copy of the portion of the Interchange
Exhibit showing the 1.4940 acre portion to be dedicated be attached as an exhibit to
the proffer. Further, the proffer should include a provision that the Applicant, as the
owner of Tax Map Parcel 53 -A -88, will record a document in the land records, upon
the granting of the rezoning, setting forth the obligation to dedicate the 1.4940 acres
upon request by VDOT or Frederick County. It would be preferable that the form of
that recordable document be attached to the proffers as an exhibit, with the
opportunity for counsel for the County to review and approve the form of the
document.
It should be noted that I have not reviewed the substance of the proffers as to
whether the proffers are suitable and appropriate for the rezoning of this specific
property, or whether other proffers would be appropriate, as it is my understanding
that that review will be done by the staff and the Planning Commission.
