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).

Eddy, AICP Senior Planner Frederick County Department of Planning Development 107 North Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Re: Rock Harbor Golf Course (Stuart M. Perry, Inc.) Proffer Statement Dear Susan: A PARTNERSHIP OF PROFESSIONAL CORPOR ITOHS HALL, MONAHAN, ENGLE, MAHAN MITCHELL AUG 1 8 2006 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. Susan K. Eddy August 18, 2006 Page 2 HALL, MONAHAN, ENGLE, MAHAN MITCHELL 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. me.
