ITEM #1
Review of the 2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) will be reviewing and
discussing the 2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). New capital project requests
or modifications to previously endorsed requests have been prepared by the various
county agencies and departments. Representatives from the various agencies and
departments will be attending the meeting to discuss their requests with the CPPS.
The role of the CPPS in this meeting will be to review the project requests in the context
of the current Comprehensive Policy Plan to ensure that the requests are consistent with
the adopted Plan. For your convenience, the recently adopted update of Corni-nunity
Facility and Services section of the Comprehensive Policy Plan has been attached.
Staff has provided a summary table of this year's CIP outlining new and modified project
requests. Copies of the Individual Project Description and Justification Forms that have
been submitted by the Fredrick County Department of Public Works, Parks and
Recreation Department, Handley Regional Library, Frederick County School Board,
Frederick County Fire and Rescue, Winchester Regional Airport, and the Frederick
County Transportation Committee have also been included with this agenda item.
Staff has included maps of the planned public facility locations that are consistent with
those approved in last years CIP. Only those facilities for which there is a specific or
generalized location are mapped. The map element, if endorsed by the CPPS and
ultimately adopted by the Board of Supervisors, would satisfy the Code of Virginia
requirement for the 15.2-2232 Review. In essence, the code states that no public facility
shall be constructed unless said facility is a "feature shown" within the comprehensive
plan. Proposed facilities that are not mapped would not satisfy the code requirement.
For the second year, the Transportation Committee has included capital project requests
within the CIP. The Code of Virginia allows for transportation projects to be included
within a CIP. The need to clearly identify transportation needs has become more
apparent as growth continues in Frederick County.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this information.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
The transportation department provides a student transportation system to support
a division membership of over 13,000 students, over 2,000 full and part-time employees and
maintains approximately 194 buses and over 142 light-duty vehicles.
Please describe the need for this project.
The current transportation site has outgrown the current facilities, and there is not
sufficient area to expand those facilities. The increase in student membership, coupled
with the stringent laws and regulations that govern the operation and maintenance of
school transportation vehicles, requires a much larger and upgraded transportation
facility. Additional space is needed to provide a safe and adequate work place for
employees.

Please describe the source of funding (i.e. type of grant):
Presently, there are no federal or state grant monies available for this project. As a result, this
project would need to be funded through the County Capital Improvement Fund, through
donations or by funds generated through the collection of proffers. If federal, state or any other
grant monies become available, they will be actively pursued by this department.
i
Project Justification:
Pleas + ttii ii f e e'o'ns, d`v,elhngs, students, or units to be Server or the units of
Please prii�w� the number vi p ro
service to be provided by the project.
There are no indoor pools in Frederick County. By constructing the indoor pool, it would permit
the department to meet citizen programming demands, provide an instructional facility, as well as
provide the area with a facility that would attract new businesses to the community. This facility
would be available to all area residents.
Please describe the need for this project.
The construction of this project will provide a facility to offer year round recreational
programming for the residents of Frederick County and provide a facility for competitive
scholastic programs.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
The Indoor Pool facility should be located in an area convenient to the major transportation
corridors of the county on a county proffered site. However, as an alternative, one of the two
county regional parks could be used to house the facility, since these locations are already
identified as centers for recreation programs and activities.
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
The Indoor Pool project meets the following County comprehensive planning goals:
• Contribute to the physical, mental, and cultural needs of the community, its economic and
social well-being, and its sense of civic pride and social responsibility through a complete
program of parks and recreation.
• Provide recreational programs and activities based on identified needs and available
funding.
• Continues to develop the County's regional parks as a major source of recreational
facilities and activities.
• Supports a business climate conducive to economic activity and orderly economic
growth.
• Provide support to travel and tourist related activities.
• Facilities and services should be carefully planned to meet projected needs.
The project meets policy recommendations for the development of parks and recreation facilities,
and programs, as well as supporting economic development in the County through the support of
businesses and the travel and tourism industry.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
The Indoor Pool project addresses the need for an indoor recreational facility in Frederick
County. The construction of this facility will provide the community with a public facility that
could be used for not only recreational pursuits, but rehabilitation and wellness programs. In
addition, this facility will also provide a new outlet to expand the existing scholastic activities
programs within the schools.
e
Legal Requirement:
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal
requirement?
The project is not mandated by state or federal requirements, but is in compliance with the
adopted County Comprehensive Plan for recreational facility development.
Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that
is currently under served relative to other areas of the County?
In initial stages of planning, the Indoor Pool project is projected to potentially serve over 150
community organizations and groups. This assistance would be provided in either facility or
programming provisions within the facility. There is currently no other similar facility located
within the County.
Economic Impact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
Studies have shown that the provision of park and recreational facilities and programs are a
primary consideration when locating or expanding business development within a community.
The financial investment in recreation projects and services pay dividends throughout the
community equating to a higher return than the original outlay. Parks and recreation services
contribute to the physical and mental well being of the citizens, provide for a more productive
work force and preventative health services, as well as serving as a catalyst for the tourism and
travel industry.
Coordination with other projects:
Is the project necessary for the successful completion of other projects? Is the project part of a
larger project?
The Indoor Pool project is not dependent upon another project.
Public Support:
Are county residents fully informed and supportive of the proposed project? List the methods
used to determine public support.
The Indoor Pool project has been identified by the Recreation Commission and the County's
Capital Improvements Plan. A Parks and Recreation Commission sub -committee has been
formed to determine the final size and content of the facility. In addition, the Commission has
prepared a user survey to solicit input from community organizations who would benefit from the
facility.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
To provide recreational opportunities for the Clearbrook Park and Sherando Park service area
which includes all county residents. Park visitation at the two district parks exceeds 425,000
annually and is growing.
Please describe the need for this project.
The field lighting fixtures are over 25 years old and the majority of the poles are over 35 years
old. With the decrease in the quality of lighting with the age of the system, with most of the
poles being warped and decayed and in need of replacement and to achieve the recommended
50/30 FC (footcandle) level on the playing surface, the Commission is recommending these
facilities be upgraded.
=�■M i ■
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
Clearbrook and Sherando Parks are currently owned by Frederick County. The baseball facilities
are located within the parks.

social well-being, and its sense of civic pride and social responsibility through a complete
program of parks and recreation.
• Provide recreational programs and activities based on identified needs and available
funding.
• Ensure that appropriate open space and recreational facilities are provided in urban and
rural areas.
• Continue to develop the County's regional parks as a major source of recreational
facilities and activities.
• Support a business climate conducive to economic activity and orderly economic growth.
• Provide support to travel and tourist related activities.
• Facilities and services should be carefully planned to meet projected needs.
The project meets policy and safety standards for recreational use, as well as the youth and adult
softball leagues.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a

citizens of Frederick County.
Economic Impact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of, economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
Studies have shown that the provision of park and recreational facilities and programs are a
primary consideration when locating or expanding business development within a community.

community equating to a higher return than the original outlay. Parks and recreation services
contribute to the physical and mental well being of the citizens, provide for a more productive
work force and preventative health services, as well as serving as a catalyst for the tourism and
travel industry.

Please describe the source of funding (i.e. type of grant):
Presently, there are no federal or state grant monies available for this project. As a result, this
project would need to be funded through the County Capital Improvement Fund, through
donations or by funds generated through the collection of proffers. If federal, state or any other
grant monies become available, they will be actively pursued by this department.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Projects Requests Page 3
Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
To provide recreational opportunities for the Clearbrook Park and Sherando Park service area.
Please describe the need for this project.
Currently, we have two outdoor swimming pools at the County's regional parks. These facilities
are 15 years old and were constructed with two diving boards as the main feature for each pool.
Over the past 5 years, swimming pool attendance has been flat and users are requesting that we
add different water features. The addition of two water slides and a spray ground to each pool
facility will increase pool attendance by an estimated 30%. With the increase in fees to
comparable facilities, the County could realize an additional 65,000 in revenue annually.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
Clearbrook and Sherando Parks, currently owned by Frederick County offers the best site and
location for the development of this facility. With the upgrade to the existing swimming pool
facilities, the County would not have to incur costs for property acquisition or infrastructure
development.

Please describe the source of funding (i.e. type of grant):
We are currently utilizing the SAFET-LU grant program for the trail facilities. In addition,
recreation access grant monies through the Virginia Department of Transportation may be
available for entrance and access roadways. If these grant programs are not funded, this project
would need to be funded through the county capital improvements program, by donations, or by
funds generated through the collection of proffers.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
This facility would provide recreational opportunities for the Sherando Park service area and the
entire Frederick County community.
■
Please describe the need for this project.
This project will provide trails with walking and jogging opportunities which ranks as #1 in the
2002 Virginia Outdoors Plan survey for all outdoor recreational activities. The standard for
bike/pedestrian trails, based upon the Virginia Outdoor Plan, is 1 mile/1,000 population.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project. '
Sherando Park, currently owned by Frederick County, offers the best location for this
development. With the County currently having ownership of the property, one aspect of the cost
of this project has already been completed. This project, being located at Sherando Park, is
necessary to meet the needs of our service area.

Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
The development of an entrance off of Warrior Drive and an access road with parking and trails
at Sherando Park meets the following County comprehensive planning goals:
• Contribute to the physical, mental, and cultural needs of the community, its economic and
social well-being, and its sense of civic pride and social responsibility through a complete
program of parks and recreation.
• Provide recreational programs and activities based on identified needs and available
funding.
• Ensure that appropriate open space and recreational facilities are provided in urban and
rural areas.
• Continue to develop the County's regional parks as a major source of recreational facilities
and activities.
• Support a business climate conducive to economic activity and orderly economic growth.
• Provide support to travel and tourist related activities.
• Facilities and services should be carefully planned to meet projected needs.
The project meets policy recommendations for the development of parks and recreation facilities,
as well as supporting economic development and the travel and tourism industry in the county.
Additionally, the project is identified in the Master Plan for Sherando Park completed in 2001.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
The development of an entrance and access road with parking and trails will provide recreational

adopted County Comprehensive Plan for recreational facility development and completes one
element of the Master Plan for Sherando Park.
Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that
is currently under served relative to other areas of the County?
This project would provide passive recreational services and connectivity to adjoining
commercial and residential communities in the County's urban development area and is being
developed in accordance with the Sherando Park Master Plan.

Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project
Sherando Park, currently owned by Frederick County, represents the very best location for soccer
field development. The fact that the county will not have to acquire property for this facility
means that the most costly aspect of this development has already been completed. Sherando

adjacent to the new county high school. With joint use of facilities between the park and school
system, the construction of additional soccer fields will benefit both agencies.

Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
Studies have shown that the provision of park and recreational facilities and programs are a
primary consideration when locating or expanding business development within a community.
The financial investment in recreation projects and services pay dividends throughout the
community equating to a higher return than the original outlay. Parks and recreation services
contribute to the physical and mental well being of the citizens, provide for a more productive
work force and preventative health services, as well as serving as a catalyst for the tourism and
travel industry.

Please describe the source of funding (i.e. type of grant):
There are presently no federal or state grant monies available. As a result, this project would
need to be funded through the County Capital Improvement Fund, by donations or by funds
generated through the collection of proffers. If federal, state or any other grant monies become
available, they will be actively pursued by this department.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Projects Requests Page 3
Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
This facility would provide recreational opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. In
addition to its use as a recreational facility, it will be used by the Frederick County school
system.
Please describe the need for this project.
Presently, there are ten softball/baseball fields within the county's regional park system. Eight of
ten existing fields must serve a dual purpose of facilitating youth baseball as well as youth and
adult softball programs. With the increased usage of these fields, it has become more difficult to
facilitate these programs. This project is needed in order for the Parks and Recreation
Department to accommodate the existing demand of youth baseball and adult softball programs.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
Sherando Park, currently owned by Frederick County, represents the very best site for softball
field development. The fact that the County will not have to acquire property for this facility
means that the most costly aspect of this development has already been completed. Sherando
Park also provides a location that is situated in the fastest growing area of the county and is
adjacent to Sherando High School. Joint use of facilities between the park and school system has
been approved, and , as a result, these fields will facilitate school activities as well as recreation
programs.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Projects Requests Page 4
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
The completed development of the Softball Complex at Sherando Park meets the following
County comprehensive planning goals:
• Contribute to the physical, mental, and cultural needs of the community, its economic and
social well-being, and its sense of civic pride and social responsibility through a complete
program of parks and recreation.
Provide recreational programs and activities based on identified needs and available
funding.
• Ensure that appropriate open space and recreational facilities are provided in urban and
rural areas.
• Continue to develop the County's regional parks as a major source of recreational
facilities and activities.
• Support a business climate conducive to economic activity and orderly economic growth.
• Provide support to travel and tourist related activities.
• Facilities and services should be carefully planned to meet projected needs.
The project meets policy recommendations for the development of parks and recreation facilities,
as well as supporting economic development and the travel and tourism industry in the county.
Additionally, the project is identified in the Master Plan for Sherando Park.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
The Softball Complex at Sherando Park will provide a safe facility to meet the needs of the
county's growing softball program for both adults and youth.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Projects Requests Page 5
Legal Requirement:
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal
requirement?
The project is not mandated by state or federal requirements, but is in compliance with the
adopted County Comprehensive Plan for recreational facility development and completes one
element of the Master Plan for Sherando Park.
Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that
is currently under served relative to other areas of the County?
The project would relieve some of the existing pressure on the Sherando Park with the continual
demand for field space in southern Frederick County. The facility could also be used by the
Frederick County school system.
Economic Impact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of, economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
Studies have shown that the provision of park and recreational facilities and programs are a
primary consideration when locating or expanding business development within a community.
The financial investment in recreation projects and services pay dividends throughout the
community equating to a higher return than the original outlay. Parks and recreation services
contribute to the physical and mental well being of the citizens, provide for a more productive
work force and preventative health services, as well as serving as a catalyst for the tourism and

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
This facility, presently serving as both youth baseball and adult softball fields, would be used by
the "Little League" programs within the Sherando Park service area. In addition to its use as a
recreational facility, the athletic complex will also be used by the Frederick County school
system_.
Please describe the need for this project.
In its present design, the four field complex does not provide adequate diamond configuration to
facilitate youth baseball programs. The backstops would need to be moved back to the required
depth from home plate and taller backstops installed.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
The project location would be at Sherando Park which is currently owned by Frederick County.
Presently, Sherando Park has six baseball/softball fields.
This project would involve the relocation of the backstops of the existing ball field complex.
With the site of the new county high school being adjacent to Sherando Park, there will be a joint
use of these facilities and with the renovation of the fields, athletic programs can be more
effectively facilitated.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
Because Clearbrook Park is a regional facility, these facilities will be available to all county
residents. Currently, there are no tennis or basketball courts in the Clearbrook Park area and,
with over 166,000 park visitors annually, these facilities are needed.
Please describe the need for this project.
Presently, there are no tennis or basketball courts located in the Clearbrook Park area and, with
park visitation over 166,000 annually, these facilities are needed. This project will reduce the
gap between the number of existing tennis and basketball courts and the number of courts needed
to meet the minimum standards for our service area. Development of this project will also
provide this department with facilities for recreational programs.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
Clearbrook Park, currently owned by Frederick County, provides the very best location for tennis
and basketball court development. Since the county will not have to acquire property for this
facility, the most costly aspect of this development has already been completed.

Please describe the source of funding (i.e. type of grant):
There are presently no federal or state grant monies available. As a result, this project would
need to be funded through the County Capital Improvement Fund, by donations or by funds
generated through the collection of proffers. If federal, state or any other grant monies become
available, they will be actively pursued by this department.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 3
Project Justirication:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
These facilities would be used by the Sherando Park service area and the southwestern part of
Frederick County. With the growth in this area of the county and being deficient in passive
recreational opportunities at Sherando Park, the Commission is recommending this project be
included.
Please describe the need for this project.
Presently, there are only five (5) picnic areas (shelters) within Sherando Park. This development
is needed to reduce the gap between the number of existing facilities and the minimum standards
for the Sherando Park service area and southeastern Frederick County. With over 300,000
visitors annually, five picnic shelters do not accommodate the demand.
i
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
Since Sherando Park is owned by Frederick County and the acquisition of property will not be
necessary, the most costly aspect of this development has been completed. Sherando Park also
provides a site which is situated in the fastest growing area of the county.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 4
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
The Picnic Area project at Sherando Park meets the following County comprehensive planning
goals:
• Contribute to the physical, mental, and cultural needs of the community, its economic and
social well-being, and its sense of civic pride and social responsibility through a complete
program of parks and recreation.
• Provide recreational programs and activities based on identified needs and available
funding.
• Ensure that appropriate open space and recreational facilities are provided in urban and
rural areas.
• Continue to develop the County's regional parks as a major source of recreational
facilities and activities.
• Support a business climate conducive to economic activity and orderly economic growth.
• Provide support to travel and tourist related activities.
• Facilities and services should be carefully planned to meet projected needs.
The project meets policy recommendations for the development of parks and recreation facilities,
as well as supporting economic development and the travel and tourism industry in the county.
Additionally, the project is identified in the Master Plan for Sherando Park.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
The development of the Picnic Area project will provide the citizens with a facility to improve
their physical and mental well being. Additionally, the project will provide Sherando Park with
additional parking, provide paved pathways and additional facilities to improve the accessibility
and availability of recreational opportunities within the park.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 5
Legal Requirement:
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal
requirement?
The project is not mandated by state or federal requirements, but is in compliance with the
adopted County Comprehensive Plan for recreational facility development and completes one
element of the Master Plan for Sherando Park.
■
Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that
is currently under served relative to other areas of the County?
These facilities will provide Sherando Park with picnic areas available for general use. In
addition, the project will provide much needed facility development within the park to meet the
recreational demands of the citizens of Sherando Park service area.
Economic Impact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
Studies have shown that the provision of park and recreational facilities and programs are a
primary consideration when locating or expanding business development within a community.
The financial investment in recreation projects and services pay dividends throughout the
community equating to a higher return than the original outlay. Parks and recreation services
contribute to the physical and mental well being of the citizens, provide for a more productive
work force and preventative health services, as well as serving as a catalyst for the tourism and
travel industry.

Please describe the need for this project.
Presently, there are no facilities to accommodate cultural arts programs within the county's park
system. This project is needed to provide a facility for cultural activities.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
Clearbrook Park, currently owned by Frederick County, represents the very best location for
facilitating cultural events. The fact that the county will not have to acquire property for this
project means that a significant cost has already been completed. Clearbrook Park, with its
existing park characteristics and cultural features also provides the best location for our service
area.

2006-2007 Capital Improvements Plan Projects Requests Page 3
Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
Since its inception, the Parks and Recreation Department has relied solely on the use of the
county public schools to house our programs. This arrangement was adequate when the
department first started out, but now the department offers over 750 programs annually and at
this same time, space within the schools is more difficult to secure. This has created a situation
where the department can no longer meet the programming and facility needs of the county
residents. By constructing the Multi -Generational Community Center facility, it would permit
the department to meet citizen programming demands, provide an instructional facility, as well as
provide the area with a facility that would attract new businesses to the community. This facility
would be available to all area residents.
■
Please describe the need for this project.
As stated above the Department and the community have outgrown the use of school facilities for
programming. In the past four years, the Department has experienced a fifty-four percent
increase in program offerings. The construction of this project will provide a facility the
Department will be able to offer year round recreational programming to the residents of
Frederick County.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
The Multi -Generational Community Center facility should be located in an area convenient to the
major transportation corridors of the county on a county proffered site. However, as an
alternative one of the two county regional parks could be used to house the facility, since these
locations are already identified as centers for recreation programs and activities. Additionally,
locating the facility on property already owned by the county would reduce development costs.
2006-2007 Capital Improvements Plan Projects Requests Page 4
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
The Multi -Generational Community Center project meets the following County comprehensive
planning goals:
• Contribute to the physical, mental, and cultural needs of the community, its economic and
social well-being, and its sense of civic pride and social responsibility through a complete
program of parks and recreation.
• Provide recreational programs and activities based on identified needs and available
funding.
• Continues to develop the County's regional parks as a major source of recreational
facilities and activities.
• Supports a business climate conducive to economic activity and orderly economic
growth.
• Provide support to travel and tourist related activities.
• Facilities and services should be carefully planned to meet projected needs.
The project meets policy recominendations for the development of parks and recreation facilities,
and programs, as well as supporting economic development in the County through the support of
businesses and the travel and tourism industry.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
The Multi -Generational Community Center project addresses the need for an indoor recreational
facility in Frederick County. The construction of this facility will provide the community with a
public facility that could be used for not only recreational pursuits, also wellness programs. In
addition, the development of this project would assist in reducing overcrowding in the school
facilities and provide a new outlet to expand the existing scholastic activities programs within the
schools.

Legal Requirement:
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal
requirement?
The project is not mandated by state or federal requirements, but is in compliance with the

Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that
is currently under served relative to other areas of the County?
in initial stages of planning, the Multi -Generational Community Center project is projected to
potentially serve over 150 community organizations and groups. This assistance would be
provided in either facility or programming provisions within the facility.

Economic Impact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have

The Multi -Generational Community Center project is not dependent upon another project.
However, when this facility is constructed adjoining the indoor pool facility, development and
construction costs would be reduced.

Public Support:
Are county residents fully informed and supportive of the proposed project? List the methods

The Multi -Generational Community Center project has been identified by the Recreation
Commission and the County's Capital Improvements Plan. A Parks and Recreation Commission
sub -committee has been formed to determine the final size and content of the facility. In
addition, the Commission has prepared a user survey to solicit input from community
organizations who would benefit from the facility.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
Approximately 2,500 residents are served by the Gainesboro facility. The refuse site serves a
wide geographic area from Gainesboro westward to the Cross Junction, Whitacre and Reynolds
Store communities.
According to a recent survey, nearly 300 vehicles visit the site on any given Saturday. This
represents a 66 percent increase over 2003 figures. During June of 2007, 5,331 vehicles used the
facility. As more residents move into the western end of the county where curbside pickup is
more expensive or nonexistent, this number will continue to grow.
Please describe the need fort is project.
The relocation of the Gainesboro citizens' convenience site is needed in order to provide
adequate trash disposal service for citizens living in the western end of the county (Gainesboro,
Cross Junction, Whitacre, Reynolds Store). The existing site is substandard compared to all other
county solid waste disposal facilities. The site is little more than a pull -off area along Gainesboro
Road (Old Route 522 North). Due to its location between the road and Back Creek, the existing
site cannot be expanded to provide safe ingress and egress and fencing to mitigate illegal
dumping. Recycling opportunities at this site are also limited by the lack of adequate space for
collection containers.
Please describe and justify— the proposed location ot the project.
Acquiring property on which to locate a convenience site is difficult at best. By far the most
economical and feasible option for the county is to locate such solid waste facilities on county -
owned property whenever possible. Relocation affords the county a rare opportunity to vastly
improve solid waste services to those living in the western end of the county by constructing an
expanded facility that is in close proximity to the existing one, thereby convenient to users,
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project RequestsPage 5
easily accessible, landscaped and well-maintained. Furthermore, county facilities tend to build a
sense of community in rural areas.

Conformance tote ompre ensive an:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
The proposal conforms to the department's and county's objectives of improving basic services
to citizens. As previously stated, constructing a facility on property already owned by the county
or obtaining a no -cost or low-cost lease arrangement is by far the most fiscally responsible
method by which to better serve the disposal needs of those living in the western end.
Public Health,Safety, or a are:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
The current site is a health hazard for those utilizing the facility. It is overrun by rodents and
snakes due to its proximity to Back Creek. It is also dangerous for vehicles entering and leaving
the site since it is much too small to properly accommodate traffic. It is the department's desire
to provide an expanded and improved facility to meet future refuse disposal needs and improve
worker conditions and safety.

Legal equirement:
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal
requirement?
No.
quota a ism ution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that

M
conomic mpact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
The project would reduce refuse collection operating costs. Due to the lack of a fence and the
Gainesboro site's relatively remote location, more than at any other refuse site, staff time is
consumed by policing the site in order to head off illegal dumpers and clearing refuse and bulky
items such as furniture, construction debris and appliances left on the ground after hours.
Relocation would also remove an eyesore from the side of Old Gainesboro Road to an area
where it can be better managed and screened by appropriate landscaping.

Coordination with other projects:
Is the project necessary for the successful completion of other projects? Is the project part of a

No. However, it has been a long-term objective of the department for a number of years to secure
property on which to locate an expanded facility.
PublicSupport:
Are county residents fully informed and supportive of the proposed project? List the methods
used to determine public support.
A fenced, expanded site would not only better serve Gainesboro area residents, but also reduce,
if not completely eliminate illegal dumping. The current site is rather remote and unsecured.
Therefore, illegal dumping has been an on-going problem. The department believes residents
living in the immediate area will welcome an end to this situation.

Project Name: Gore Can Site Expansion
Date Prepared: August 31, 2007 Agency: Public Works
Agency Contact Person: H. Strawsnyder, Jr. P.E. Phone Number: 665-5643
Location of Project: Sand Mine Road Magisterial District: Back Creek
Project Description: Give a brief (1-2) paragraph description of what the project includes.
Provide basic information, such as the location, size, acreage, floor area, capacity, etc.
The project will expand refuse collection capacity at Gore by installing a surplus trash
compactor. With the relocation of the Gainesboro site and purchase of new equipment, there will
be an available compactor. Installation of a compactor at Gore will drive down collection costs at
the site where trash is now collected in 10 8 -yard boxes. In order to accomplish this, and account
for improved traffic flow and the construction of necessary concrete walls, the site will be
expanded onto an adjoining parcel.
Schedule: If the project will take several years to complete, outline the schedule here. Be sure
to include any work that might have been done in previous years, including studies or other
planning.
Design work is anticipated for FY 08/09 with actual construction during the following fiscal
year.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 1
Coordination: If the project is dependent upon or is being planned in conjunction with any
other project(s), identify it/them and indicate the relationship between the projects.
A surplus compactor will become available during FY 08/09 with the relocation of the
Gainesboro site. Heavy use at the Gainesboro site will mandate a new, larger trash compactor.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
Population in the Gore community is 2,025, according to the regional planning district
commission (767 dwellings).
Up to 170 vehicles visit the can site each weekend. Saturday usage has increased by 17 percent
since 2003. According to a staff survey, 2,376 vehicles used the Gore site during June of 2007.

Please describe the need for this project_
This project will easily pay for itself in lower refuse collection costs since all refuse would be
compacted before transport. Also, with a compactor in place, refuse would be contained in an
enclosed receiver can, reducing blowing litter, odor and vectors, all of which can be a problem
when using open collection cans.
This project would also provide much-needed capacity during heavy flow times such as
weekends and holidays. All 10 containers now on site fill to capacity during Saturday afternoons
and the Sunday shift when up to 170 vehicles visit the facility_ A 40 -yard roll -off is placed
during the Christmas holidays to provide for increased trash generation. An upgraded site would
meet the future solid waste demands of a growing community.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
Proposed expansion location is adjacent to the existing can site. Intent is to make the best
possible usepf existing equip egt while lowering ncosts in the Gore service area.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 5
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Flan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
The proposal conforms to the department's and county's goal of reducing operational costs
whenever feasible. This project has the added benefit of improving service and providing for
future waste disposal needs in the Gore community.
a
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
The project would improve conditions at the Gore refuse collection site in that all trash would be
compacted and contained in a single enclosed container, reducing the potential for odor, blowing
litter and vectors.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 6
Legal Requirement:
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal
requirement?
No.
Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that
is currently under served relative to other areas of the County?
No.
Economic Impact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
The project will significantly reduce collection costs by compacting trash before it is hauled
away to the landfill cutting the number of trips the county's waste hauler must make to the
western end of the county_ In today's dollars, hauling costs would be reduced from just over
$3,000 a month to $800 a month.
Obviously, there is a limited amount of space at the current site and a limited number of 8 -yard
boxes which can be placed to collect refuse. In the near future, it will become necessary for the
waste hauler to make an extra trip to Gore in order to provide adequate weekend capacity_ This
will greatly increase operational costs.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 7
Coordination with other projects:
Is the project necessary for the successful completion of other projects? Is the project part of a

No.
Public Support:
Are county residents fully informed and supportive of the proposed project? List the methods
used to determine public support.
From the feedback received by attendants working the Gore site, the department is certain that
residents in the area enjoy having a clean, well-managed waste disposal facility nearby. It is
important that the county maintain this service while working to curtail costs. The department
believes that the public is supportive anytime better use can be made of tax dollars.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of
service to be provided by the project.
This development is scheduled to be an active adult resort gated community with age restrictions
on 80% of the homes above 55 and the other 20% above 45. The developer's master plan will
allow for 2130 individual dwelling units using a mix of housing types.
MOMMIRMAM
Please describe the need for this project.
This project would serve the rapidly growing southeastern Frederick County. One of the main
requirements for this facility is the development of the Shenandoah project at Lake Frederick.
The site work for this development was started in the early part of 2005. With the Stephens City
fire and rescue service area population the largest in the County the increase in population and
demographics brought about by the development will far exceed the resources available to
provide adequate protection in this area of the County.
MEWSWEIMM
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
The project would be located in the eastern area of Fairfax Pike east of White Oak Road. This
location would allow the necessary response to all entrances of the Shenandoah project as well as
to other locations of high growth from Stephens City to Front Royal Pike.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 5
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies?
This project is incorporated into the County's Comprehensive Plan to meet the goals and
objectives of emergency services to the residents and visitors of Frederick County. This will be
the first facility project of this type to be constructed in the County by the Fire and Rescue
Department.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a
clear health or safety risk?
This project would greatly improve fire and emergency medical responses to the southeastern
area of Frederick County and provide assistance to surrounding response areas. This has a
positive effect on the health, safety, and welfare of our citizen's and visitors
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 6
Legal Requirement:
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal
requirement?
The jurisdiction having authority is responsible for providing the necessary fire and emergency
medical service to its citizens.
Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified
as needing assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that
is currently under served relative to other areas of the County?
The project would provide for a decreased response time to the citizens in the immediate area
thus increasing service to that segment of the population.
Economic Impact:
Is the project essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would
the project improve the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have
a positive effect on the local economy?
A cost effect could be realized by home and business owners in the area in a decrease in
insurance premiums.
2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 7
Coordination with other projects:
Is the project necessary for the successful completion of other projects? Is the project part of a

This project is not necessary for the completion of other projects but is part of a proposed County
satellite office project.
Public Support:
Are county residents fully informed and supportive of the proposed project? List the methods
used to determine public support.
No official information has been disseminated to the general public to support or not support the
project. It was the intention of the Shenandoah development to have a fire and rescue station in
or near its project due to the age restrictions within the community. Further discussions have
taken place in planning commission meetings about a fire station being needed east of 181 during
development talks because of the traffic situation at Fairfax Pike and 18 1.

Please describe the need for this project.
To enlarge, update the building we would be able to better fill the needs of our community, have
a larger site for emergency relief to shelter during emergencies, upgrade our equipment as the
need arises for the community growth, i.e., additional subdivisions: Stephenson Village, Green
Spring Acres, Gordon Dale — east side, Apple Glenn, Glenn Dobbin, Semples Development, and
additional homes along routes that are single family; increased traffic on I-81, industrial at I-81

Please describe the source of funding (i.e. type of grant):
While $22.8 M is the projected cost based upon the above referenced plan, the actual allocation
by funding source would be premature at this time. It is anticipated that some of this cost will
come via the revenue sharing program, and a significant amount would be absorbed by the
coming development which makes the roadway's implementation necessary. These sources will
still leave a significant amount that will need to come from Federal, State, or local funds.

Since its opening in the early 1990s, the general aviation terminal building for the
Winchester Regional Airport has had only limited interior work completed. interior repairs are
necessary due to extensive usage and some damage from water leaking from the roof. A
replacement roof was completed in the Spring of 2005 by necessity, and the roof will not be
included in this project. The exterior of the terminal building is made from Drivet that has failed
in many areas and is generally in fair to poor condition. Ln addition, several of the window seals
have broken and must be replaced.
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
The proposed location of the project is at the existing general aviation terminal building.
This is an ideal location, as it is central to the runway -

IowaPlease describe the need for this project.
For several years, development requiring land acquisition at the Winchester Regional Airport has
focused on the Runway 32 (southwest) end. With that land acquisition project complete, several
parcels within the Runway 14 (northeast) end also need to be acquired. Acquisition is necessary
because many of the identified parcels are located within the Airport's FAR Part 77 primary
surface anti/or approach surface. In addition, several of the residential parcels are located in side
the FAA's projected DNL 65 noise contour. The FAA considers residential use within the noise
cwitour non -compatible with airport. operations and encourages airport to resolve the non -
compatibility through acquisition fee simple where feasible.

Project Name: Parking Lot and Sidewalk addition at Bowman Library
Date Prepared: October 1, 2007 Agency: Handley Regional Library
Agency Contact Person: Trish Ridgeway Phone Number: 662-9041, ext_ 14
Location of Project: Stephens City Magisterial District: Shawnee
Project Description: Give a brief (1-2) paragraph description of what the project includes. Provide basic
information, such as the location, size, acreage, floor area, capacity, etc.
This project is the Library's top capital improvement priority. It is a safety issue for
Bowman Library users. To provide a safe means for people to reach Bowman Library,
Handley Regional Library proposes that a sidewalk be constructed to connect with existing
sidewalks at the library. (See preliminary drawings that were previously submitted.)
Additionally, more parking is needed to prevent individuals from parking on Tasker Road
when the existing lot is full, a situation that is happening more and more frequently.
The 4 -foot wide sidewalk will extend approximately 400-500 ft. (approximately 4,000 sq.ft.)
beyond the sidewalk that now borders the parking lot. Two options are shown on the
drawings. The Library had requested Painter -Lewis provide two alternatives, and both
options are estimated to cost about the same. The Library has chosen Option 2. This
option brings the sidewalk to a point on Lakeside Drive most likely to be used by residents,
almost all of whom are coming from the east. It would require a culvert system that
duplicates the one currently used on the corner of Lakeside and Tasker.
The parking lot expansion would enlarge the lot from 101 spaces to 221 spaces
(approximately 4,000 additional sq. yd.) and would relieve the overcrowding that forces
individuals to park on Tasker Road during peak library use times. This work will not
require additional storm drainage work but will necessitate moving shrubbery, planting
trees and bushes, installing curbs and gutters, and installing parking -lot light fixtures to
match the current down -light fixtures.
Schedule: If the project will take several years to complete, outline the schedule here. Be sure to include any work
that might have been done in previous years, including studies or other planning.
The project will take approximately 3-5 months.

Project Justification:
Please project the number of persons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units of service to be provided
by the project.
Each month, 10,800 individuals enter the Bowman Library with an annual total for
Bowman of 129,628 coming through the door. The Library serves all age groups from very
young children to senior citizens and provides recreational and education materials for
them. The library is a favorite location for families to visit together and serves many
children and adults when they are working on school assignments or self-improvement.
The library supplies computer access for word processing and other office applications and
for Internet usage.
Please describe the need for this project.
Parking Lot: Children's summer programs attract over from 200 to 500 attendees.
Library users park on Tasker Road or in the nearby town -house parking lot because the
library lot is full. This usually occurs during elections, children's programs and the
library's twice -annual book sales. Opening a car door or helping small children exit a car
in the face of Tasker Road traffic is dangerous. Pulling on to Tasker from the grass strip
next to the road is also difficult and dangerous.
The library has public seating space for 183. In addition, the meeting room holds 120
people and is available for area groups to use. Also, since the book processing staff and
unit supervisors operate out of Bowman Library, staff takes up 11 to 16 of the library's
100 parking spaces during the business day and 7 to 8 spaces in the evenings. The Library
is also a polling place for Frederick County. During the big election days the deputies from
the Frederick County Sheriffs office were needed to direct traffic.
Library of Virginia standards call for 190 or more parking spaces for a public library
building of Bowman's size. Frederick County standards require 100 spaces, and since
money was tight for the project, Public Works decided to use the county standard.
Sidewalk: The Bowman Library has proved very popular with children and families.
Children from the Lakeside Drive side of the Library often bicycle or walk to the library.
If they bicycle, they ride on Tasker Road where the traffic often goes faster than the 45
mph speed limit. If they walk, they can walk across the field between the library and
Lakeside Drive, and many children jump the drainage cutch, rather than walk to the
corner where it is easy to get across. Mothers, who want to walk, complain they have to use
Tasker Road when they have children in strollers.
Oct. 4, 2007 4 of 8 Handley Regional Library CIP
Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project.
The location of the expanded parking lot is the area that -was set aside for it in the original
site planning.
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan?
Is the project consistent with established policies?
Yes.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a clear health or safety
risk?
Safety is the primary reason for this request. It is very dangerous for bicyclists and
walkers to be on Tasker Drive. More individuals would be comfortable coming on foot or
by bicycle if there were a safer route. Likewise, parking along the roadside at Tasker also
is not safe. The Bowman Library is a polling place for Frederick County and parking is a
problem during elections.
Oct. 4, 2007 5 of 8 Handley Regional Library CIP
Legal Requirement.
Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal requirement?
No
Equitable Distribution of Services:
Does the project meet a special need of some segment of the population that has been identified as needing
assistance? Would the project provide equivalent services to a population group that is currently under served
relative to other areas of the County?
Public libraries in general serve segments of population who cannot afford to purchase
many books for their own libraries as well as those that lack computers and Internet
access. Through pooling of funds, public libraries make available to the public at large
expensive printed works, books on tape, and computer databases that an individual or
most companies could not afford.
Economic Impact.-
Is
mpact.
Is theproject essential to, or would it encourage some form of economic development? Would theproject improve
the tax base, reduce operating expenses, produce revenue, or otherwise have a positive effect on the local economy?
Realtors, firms relocating, and homebuyers see Public Libraries as a very positive local
quality of life factor. Libraries provide information on business start-up, investing, and
company management.

Coordination with other projects:

No
Public Support:
Are county residents fully informed and supportive of the proposed project? List the methods used to determine
public support.
It is citizen's requests and complaints, both to Library staff and to members of the Board
of Supervisors, that continue to plush this proposal.

Project Name: Gainesboro Library Branch
Date Prepared: October 4, 2007 Agency: Handley Regional Library
Agency Contact Person: Trish Ridgeway Phone Number: 662-9041, ext.14
Location of Project: Rt.522 north Magisterial District: Gainesboro
Project Description: Give a brief (1-2) paragraph description of what the project includes. Provide basic
information, such as the location, size, acreage, floor area, capacity, etc.
Construction of a 7,000 to 10,000 sq.ft. branch library. Initial parking should be for at least
50 vehicles. The proposed location would be on Rt. 522 in the Gainesboro district, but this
could change depending on patterns of library use in the next 3 to 4 years and on whether
donated land could be located. The acquisition of the land of 3 to 4 acres would be in fiscal
year 2008/2009. There is discussion as a possible reuse of the old Gainesboro School as a
library branch, but this is a decision to be made by the Board of Supervisors after further
study.
Schedule: If the project will take several years to complete, outline the schedule here. Be sure to include any work
that might have been done in previous years, including studies or other planning.

Project ..justification:
Please project the number ofpersons, dwellings, students, or units to be served or the units ofservice to be provided
by the project.
This branch would serve most of those who live in the Gainesboro district along with other
citizens who travel in the area.
In 2006-2007 Frederick County citizens of all ages checked out 418,150 items for 65.2% of
all checkouts system wide. 31,421 Frederick County residents have library cards. While
almost 60% of borrowing by Frederick County residents is from Bowman Library, almost
40% is from Handley Library with less than 1% from the Clarke County Library. Using
the percent of checkouts as a rough determination of annual door count, in the last fiscal
year system wide Frederick County residents had an average of 56,841 questions answered,
and 28,200 hours of Internet usage in 2006-2007.
Please describe the need for this project.
Now that the Bowman Library is completed, the residents of Gainesboro district comprise
the largest population group that is the most distance from a library within the regional
system. The Library will provide materials and programming for patrons from toddlers to
senior citizens. It will provide recreational and educational materials. It will be a prime
source for homework help since it will be open nights and on weekends when school
libraries are closed. The library will supply computer access for word processing and
other office applications and for Internet usage. There will be a meeting room in which
area groups can meet.
Please describe and juste the proposed location of the project.
The exact location is yet to be determined. Ideally, a public library should be easy to get to,
be located on a major road, and be very visible from the road. Location criteria are similar
to those for a retail establishment. If a location other than route 522 meets these criteria, it
would also be acceptable. Beginning the search for a location now may facilitate the
donation of land.

Conformance to the Comprehensive flan:
Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan?
Is the project consistent with established policies?
Yes.
Public Health, Safety, or Welfare:
Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a clear health or safety
risk?
Many senior citizens Utilize public libraries; for many of them, the library is their primary
social outlet. They volunteer at the library; they visit daily or weekly because there is no
cost and the staff is friendly. Our free introductory computer classes that are offered year
round attract many senior citizens.
Public libraries also serve an important recreational and educational source for children.
Our summer reading program this year registered 2,059 preschoolers and school-age
children system wide. We distributed over 1,930 books, all donated, as reading incentives
with one book distributed for each six hours of reading by participants. That equals
21,465 hours of reading by Summer Reading participants with an average of 10.4 hours
per reader!

The Bowman Library, the Handley Library, and the Clarke County Library provide
services to the residents of Frederick County. Other than the sparsely populated far
southwest corner of the County, Gainesboro residents have the farthest drive to reach a
library.

This branch would serve citizens living in this rapidly growing area. In 2006-2007
Frederick County citizens of all ages checked out 418,150 items for 65.2% of all checkouts
system wide. 31,421 Frederick County residents have library cards. While almost 60% of
borrowing by Frederick County residents is from Bowman Library, almost 40% is from
Handley Library with less than 1% from the Clarke County Library. Using the percent of
checkouts as a rough determination of annual door count, in the last fiscal year system
wide Frederick County residents had an average of 56,841 questions answered, and 28,200
hours of Internet usage in 2006-2007.
Please describe the need for this project.
A library in this area would meet the needs of Frederick County citizens by reducing
traffic into Winchester. Parents and other library users will use the library more often if
they do not have to come downtown to Handley Library. This area also lacks a community
center; a library with ameeting room could help fill this need. The Library will provide
materials and programming for patrons from toddlers to senior citizens. It will provide
recreational and educational materials. It will be a prime source for homework help since
it will be open nights and on weekends when school libraries are closed. The library will
supply computer access for word processing and other office applications and for Internet
usage. There will be a meeting room of 425 square feet in which area groups can meet.
Please describe and juste the proposed location of the project.
The exact location is yet to be determined. Ideally, a public library should be easy to get to,
be located on a major road, and be very visible from the road. Location criteria are similar
to those for a retail establishment.

Community Facilities and Services
As development continues in Frederick County, there is a need to carefully plan for the facilities and
services that will be required. Planned development will effect the expenditures and facilities that
will be needed. It will also effect the location and types of facilities that must be provided.
There is a need to carefully monitor growth and to plan land use and facilities in a coordinated
fashion. This can be accomplished through annual comprehensive planning and capital
improvements planning.
Schools
Frederick County Public Schools is the 22nd largest of the 134 systems in the state of Virginia. There
are over 2,000 full time employees as of 2007, thus making the Frederick County School Board the
second largest employer in the Winchester -Frederick County Area. The school district has 11
elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative education/career & technical
school. The school division also owns and operates two regional special education facilities:
Northwestern Regional Education Program (NREP), housed in NREP Center, and the Robinson
Educational Center. The NREP is a regional program that provides special education services to
students from Frederick and Clarke Counties and the City of Winchester. Other support facilities
include the administration building, the maintenance/warehouse facility, and the transportation
facility. In addition to the 24 schools and administrative support facilities, there are 32 modular units
and two Sprung Instant Structure units maintained as classrooms and offices. The school system also
provides building maintenance services for the county government.
During the past several decades, the student enrollment in the school division has increased steadily.
Historical data shows student membership grew by 1,540 students over the past five years. This was
an increase of 14.5% when comparing FY2006 to FY2001. Student membership from FY 2006 to
FY2007 grew 2.7% with a net increase of 326 students.
In order to meet the need for additional space, a number of school construction and renovation
projects have occurred over the past decade. Despite the completion of these capital facilities
projects, overcrowding is still a problem in a number of Frederick County's Public Schools. In order
to meet the need for projected membership over the next decade, a number of new construction and
renovation projects have been proposed through the capital improvements plan (CIP). With the
completion of the replacement Gainesboro Elementary School in 2007, the 12', 13�1, and 14th
elementary schools are projected to open between FY2010 and FY2016. A renovation to Apple Pie
Ridge Elementary School and an addition to Bass -Hoover Elementary School are also projected
within this same time period.
As students matriculate from elementary to the middle and high school levels, the need to provide
additional space for the increase in student population and to meet changing education requirements
will become a necessity. Between FY2011 and FY2013, it is projected that a 5t' middle school, a 4t''
high school, a renovation to James Wood High School, a renovation/addition to Robert E. Aylor
Frederick County " 1 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
Middle School, and an addition to Bass -hoover Elementary School will also occur within the same
time period.
In addition to the space need to accommodate student growth, there is also a need for larger
administrative and operation support facilities. The current transportation site can no longer
adequately accommodate work performed at this facility, and the current location is not sufficient to
expand the existing facility to safely maintain a bus fleet approaching 175 school buses. The central
administration building is over 40 years old and the current number of staff exceeds the building's
safe -carrying capacity. This issue will require attention within the next few years. A plan for the
replacement of Frederick County Middle School in the proposed CIP and the renovation of that
facility to house the central administration offices will address this issue.
As Frederick County looks toward the future, it will need to plan for new school facilities that are
strategically located to help mitigate overcrowding for staff and students. The rate of residential
growth continues to impact the school system as subdivisions are developed within the Urban
Development Area (UDA). Additionally, it is important to monitor residential growth outside of the
UDA that has historically accounted for a least one-third of the new residences in Frederick County.
Along with growth in student enrollment, the school is faced with the responsibility of providing
instruction in order to prepare students to work and live in the 21" century. The use of technology as
a tool in nearly every facet of education has dramatically changed the way in which instructional
services are provided to students. Required technology -related instruction at all levels will continue
to necessitate increased expenditures for computer and computer related hardware and software.
Mandates from the federal and stated governments, particularly in special education services, will
require localities to expend additional financial resources to meet educational requirements. The
requirements associated with technology -related instruction and the provision of appropriate special
education services to students will create the need for investment in future capital projects within the
school division.
The school division and the Board of Supervisors have made major efforts to consolidate services in
order to serve the residents of Frederick County more effectively which include the following:
• Cooperative agreements relative to sharing school facilities for recreation use by a wide
range of community organizations
• Maintenance of school grounds, provided by the Department of Parks and Recreation, which
has resulted in greater utilization of space.
• Maintenance of Frederick County's office complex provided by the school division's
Building & Grounds Department
• Warehouse space in the Buildings and Grounds Department's Facility, provided by Frederick
County School Board, for other local government departments
• Fueling services to other local government departments. provided by the school division's
transportation department.

Frederick County " 3 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
Parks and Recreation
The purpose of this section of the chapter is to outline the County's recreational policies and identify
implementation methods to accomplish the stated goals for recreational facilities, programs, studies,
and plans. This narrative is a broad overview of parks and recreation goals, needs and standards, and
serves as a guide to decision making. This overview is a part of the County's continuing planning
process.
Facilities
The County currently owns and operates two district parks. Clearbrook Park, located five miles
north of Winchester on Route 11, consisting of approximately 55 acres (44 which are owned by the
County) and Sherando Park, located two miles east of Stephens City on Route 277, consisting of
approximately 334 acres. Both district parks currently serve the County's population with active and
passive recreational programs and facilities.
The four County neighborhood parks are located at: the Reynolds Store Fire Company and
Gainesboro Fire Company in the Gainesboro District, Round Hill Fire Company in the Back Creek
District, and the Frederick Heights subdivision in the Red Bud District. These neighborhood parks
consist primarily of playground equipment for young children.
In 1987, master development plans were adopted for both Clearbrook and Sherando Parks. These
master plans established development goals for each park, identified unmet recreational needs,
provided unified facility plans, and proposed a development program for each park. The Master
Plans for both Clearbrook and Sherando Parks reflect the recommendations of the County residents
and national standards as outlined in the Virginia Outdoor Plan. These plans emphasize the
development of a swimming pool complex, and additional sports venues, picnic areas, and
maintenance support facilities. In 2001, the Sherando Park Master Plan was revised and adopted.
Since the adoption of the Master Plans, the County has completed the construction o£ two outdoor
swimming pool complexes, four irrigated soccer fields, a maintenance building, three shelters, a
gazebo, two playground areas, two sand volleyball courts and two fields of a four field softball
complex. The County has also purchased an area to house the maintenance operation for Clearbrook
Park. Additional recreational facilities currently provided are athletic fields, playground, and picnic
areas with a variety of recreational opportunities such as horseshoes, fishing, paddleboats, volleyball,
open space areas, and support facilities. Clearbrook Park, Sherando Park, neighborhood parks and
all public schools are maintained by the Parks Division of the County Parks and Recreation
Department.
To date, the County has constructed a 2.4 mile bicycle/pedestrian trail to serve several residential
areas east of Stephens City. The County has also committed to the construction of a.6 mile trail to
Frederick County " 4 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
serve residential areas on the northern perimeter of Sherando Park. These bicycle facilities will link
those residential areas with Sherando Park and Sherando High School. Additional trails would
provide residents the ability to travel safely from their homes to schools, stores, work or recreation
areas without having to share the overcrowded arterial and collector roads with automobiles.
Programs
The Recreation Division of the Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department was created to
provide a comprehensive and accessible program of recreational services and activities for the
residents of Frederick County. A diverse range of recreational and enrichment programs is provided
for all age groups. This broad base of activities includes, but is not limited to, instructional classes,
outdoor adventure programs, sports and athletics, lifetime leisure and fitness programs, cultural and
community events, as well as, trips and excursions.
Programming responsibilities are assigned within the Division's four interest sections:
1. Community Events
2. Before & After School Programs
3. Sports & Athletics
4. Lifetime Leisure and Fitness
Staff members work together to identify, develop, and implement those activities which most closely
meet the interests and desires of the community. The Division typically implements programs within
age categories such as preschool, youth, teen, adult and senior adult.
The majority of recreation programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department are held within
the 18 public schools in Frederick County and the Parks and Recreation Department's Community
Centers. Consequently, this wide variety of recreation offerings has maximized the use of county
school buildings. The joint efforts of the Frederick County Public Schools and the Parks and
Recreation Commission/Department resulted in the inclusion of recreational facilities within
Sherando High School. The Parks and Recreation Department's Community Center, which adjoins
Sherando High School, opened in September of 1993 and contains two racquetball courts, a weight
room and a multipurpose room with kitchen. Building upon the Sherando concept, the Orchard
View Community Center, which is attached to Orchard View Elementary School was opened in
August 2000. This facility features a full-size gymnasium available for recreational activities during
non -school hours. The Evendale Community Center, our third center, opened in 2006 includes two
multi-purpose rooms and a full size gymnasium.
Frederick County " 5 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
The Tuscarora Trail
The Tuscarora Trail is a 249 mile hiking trail situated generally along the mountain ranges to the
west of the Shenandoah and Cumberland Valley. It connects to the Appalachian Trail in Shenandoah
National Park and in Pennsylvania northeast of Carlisle.
Approximately 26 miles of the Tuscarora Trail is in Frederick County (see map). Of this total,
approximately 11.25 trail miles are protected by easements on private property, 3.75 trail miles are
on unprotected private property and 11 trail miles are on public roads.
This trail is an important feature in the county for recreation and for the promotion of tourism. For
safety reasons, the county supports the relocation of the trail off of the public roads wherever
possible. The county also supports voluntary trail easements for sections of the trail on private
property to insure the long-term viability of the Tuscarora Trail.
Current Needs and Future Demands
To meet present requests and plan for future leisure service demands, the Parks and Recreation
Department has completed Master Plans for the County's two District Parks through community
involvement; studies of national standards provided in the Virginia Outdoor Plan; and surveyed
information relating to the provision of leisure services.
Through utilization of these and any other available resources, it is projected that the following areas
must be addressed if we are to meet leisure demands:
1. Land acquisition to meet minimum standards.
2. Facility development to meet minimum standards.
3. Development of recreation centers.
4. Increased programming for special populations.
5. Increased programming for teens.
6. Greater diversity of programming to better meet the needs of the entire community.
7. Expansion of trail systems and bikeways.
To serve our current population and ensure adequate public park land and recreational facilities are
available for future generations of Frederick County residents, the Parks and Recreation Commission
supports an approach which would require developers to set aside open space for use by the Home
Owners Association and encourage a proffer which would enable the county to accomplish a master
planned urban park system. With the required open space set aside provided by the developer, the
Home Owners Association would have the option of developing recreational amenities of their
choosing. The developer would also have the opportunity to include features which may help market
their property. The county would then encourage a proffer, based on the approved urban park master
Frederick County " 6 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
plan, of land if determined suitable. If land within a certain development does not conform to the
urban park master plan, a monetary proffer to help offset the cost of completing the plan could be
considered. The Parks and Recreation Commission would also advocate developers being required to
offer easements and construct pedestrian/bicycle trails through their developments. Maintenance and
upkeep of these public trails would then become the responsibility of the Home Owners
Associations. The acquisition of these public trail easements would be necessary to provide an array
of non vehicular access to the public parks, schools, libraries and commercial establishments.
The Parks and Recreation Commission also recommend the county actively pursue land acquisition
and facility development through appropriations, bond referendums, donations, partnerships and
bequest. Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Commission would support the monetary proffers
for parks and recreation being put into an interest barring account with all interest earned being
added to the proffer intended for parks and recreation capital development.
Area Standard
As suggested by the 2002 Virginia Outdoor Plan, the area standard for local recreation and park sites
in Virginia is ten acres of developed park land per thousand populations. Frederick County has a
population of approximately 70,575 (based on 2006 estimates provided by the Planning Department)
and currently maintains 400 acres of park land. Of the 400 acres assigned to the parks, about 220
acres would be considered developed.
Using the population projections provided by the Frederick County Planning Department, an
additional 286 acres are needed to meet the current demand; another 37 acres by 2010 and 60 acres
by 2015 will be required if we are to keep pace with the recommended standard of the ten acres per
thousand population. It is estimated by the Parks and Recreation Department that by the year 2020,
Frederick County will need approximately 843 acres of developed park land to adequately serve the
County's population.
The following are different park types for development:

Community Facilities and Services
MINI PARK
Size
0 — 4 acres
Service Area
`/4 mile
Administrative Responsibility
Local Unit of Government
Purpose
The Mini parks offer close to home open space and limited recreational amenities which are typically
accessible by bicycle/pedestrian trails.
Mini Parks have a service area of approximately'/4 mile and are less than five acres. It is important
for these parks to be accessible by bike/pedestrian trails. In most cases, it is not practical to include
athletic fields or major facility development in a mini park. As a result, these areas offer very little in
terms of design elements which create a self policing environment. These areas can become
attractive to the occasional/drop—in visitor and supervision is often necessary to ensure the park
remains an asset to the community. Mini parks are the least desirable type of park for inclusion into a
public park system because they are small, inefficient to maintain and difficult to police. Typically,

Purpose: The primary function of the neighborhood park is to provide limited types of recreation for
the entire family within easy walking distance. Facilities should be provided for all age groups.
Character: Intensive use and easy access are characteristics of this classification. Ideally, the site
would have areas that are level to gently rolling to accommodate the intensive use facilities, with
shaded areas for passive recreation.
Location: If possible, the neighborhood park should be located near a school and/or the
neighborhood center and away from railroads, major streets and other hazardous barriers.

Play fields usually serve a dual purpose in this type of facility. They provide an area for sports and
running games and also serve as open space. Intensive use areas (the playground area and hard
surfaced courts) are buffered from other activities by passive natural areas and pedestrian access
corridors. Programmed activities such as organized athletics are often suitable in neighborhood
parks. Although limited parking facilities are provided, site design should encourage pedestrian
access to the greatest extent possible.
Rural communities may want to consider deleting neighborhood parks and include their function in
larger community parks which could better serve the needs of widely dispersed local population.
From an economic standpoint, well designed, larger facilities are likely to be less expensive to
maintain than several small sites.

SUMMARY
As the population of the Winchester -Frederick County area continues to increase, there will
undoubtedly be greater emphasis placed on the County's Parks and Recreation Department. As
indicated by the standards provided in the 2002 Virginia Outdoor Plan, referred to in this chapter,
there exists a need to concentrate on developing facilities to meet present minimum standards, and an
even greater need to establish a long range capital improvement program to ensure the provision of
the physical amenities required to meet future leisure demands.
The County has already begun to address long term multi -use trail needs as discussed in this chapter
with a strategy which involves the creation of a complete network of transportation modes, including
non -motorized and pedestrian use. In addition, the UDA study of April 2005 sets as one of its goals
to examine "providing adequate area for district, community, and neighborhood parks and ensure
broad access to a variety of recreational opportunities." It is increasingly important to integrate
development of parks and recreation facilities and programs into the overall County plan to make
Frederick County an attractive place to live and work.
Since the existing parks and recreation facilities are below the recommended minimum standards for
a locality of our size, priority should be given to bringing our system up to standard. Strong
consideration should also be given to the acquisition of park land to meet future needs while
desirable open space is still available. To complement the strategies and standards identified, the
Parks and Recreation Department staff is creating a blue print which will strategically locate areas
for park land acquisition to meet existing and future demands. It is anticipated a draft of this plan
will be completed by July 1, 2007.
In addition to the facilities that are needed to meet current and future demands, the Parks and
Recreation Department will also need additional professional staff to accommodate an already
increasing demand for recreational programs.

Emergency Services
The Frederick County Fire and Rescue Department was established in 1990 to provide support and
guidance for the eleven volunteer fire and rescue companies that provide fire suppression and
emergency medical services to the citizens of Frederick County. Each volunteer fire and rescue
company provides fire suppression service, ten provide EMS transport services, eight provide
advanced life support emergency medical service, one provides basic life support emergency medical
service and one provides first responder level medical care. The County fire and rescue companies
are as follows:
Company 11 - Stephens City Fire and Rescue Company
Company 12 - Middletown Fire and Rescue Company
Company 13 - Clearbrook Fire and Rescue Company
Company 14 - Gore Fire Company
Company 15 - Round Hill Community Fire and Rescue Company
Company 16 - Gainesboro Fire and Rescue Company
Company 17 - Star Tannery Fire Company
Company 18 - Greenwood Fire and Rescue Company
Company 19 - North Mountain Fire and Rescue Company
Company 20 - Reynolds Store Fire and Rescue Company
Company 21 — Millwood Station Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company
Most of the apparatus operated by the companies are owned by and have been purchased through the
fund raising efforts of each company. The County has purchased a ladder truck which provides truck
service throughout the county. This vehicle is housed at Company 13, Clearbrook Volunteer Fire &
Rescue Company and is staffed by a combination of career and volunteer personnel. In addition, the
county owns and operates two ALS first response vehicles, which are stationed at Company 18,
Greenwood Fire and Rescue Company, and Company 16, Gainesboro Fire and Rescue Company.
Company 12, Middletown Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company owns an ALS vehicle, which is
operated most of the time by the county.
Staffing of the fire and rescue stations is accomplished by a combination of volunteers from each
community and is supplemented by twenty-four career fire and rescue personnel employed by
Frederick County. The volunteers provide 24 hour a day, seven day a -week coverage in all of the fire
and rescue stations. The career fire and rescue personnel staff nine of the eleven stations, ten hours a
day, five days a week as well as providing 24 hour coverage on two advanced life support response
vehicles. These vehicles operate from Company 16 and 18.
The Fire and Rescue Department office is divided into three divisions. These divisions are
Operations, Training, and Life Safety. The office is headed by a full-time Director who is employed
by the County. The Director is responsible for supervision of all of the Departments operations.
Frederick County — 16 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
This includes the supervision of all career personnel, coordinating the service delivery of the
volunteer companies, overseeing emergency services planning, providing volunteer and career
training programs, disaster and liazardous material coordination, and managing Department
resources.
The Operations Division is divided into three battalions, have a Fire/Rescue Lieutenant — Field
Supervisor to oversee the career fire and rescue personnel. These Field Supervisors also work with
the volunteer chiefs to coordinate daily activities within each company.
The Life Safety Division is responsible for fire prevention, life safety education programs, fire code
enforcement and fire investigations. The Life Safety Division is headed by a full time Fire/Rescue
Battalion Chief- Fire Marshal employed by the County. The division is support by a full time
Fire/Rescue Lieutenant -Assistant Fire Marshal. The Fire Marshals are on call on a 24-hour basis to
provide fire investigations, technical support to volunteer companies, and to respond to emergencies.
The Training Division is responsible for developing, providing, and overseeing training programs for
the volunteer and career fire and rescue personnel. This Division is headed by a full-time
Fire/Rescue Battalion Chief — Training Officer employed by the county. The training officer is also
the Career Development Advisor, responsible for overseeing the administration of the Career
Development Program.
Future challenges for the Fire and Rescue Department include meeting fire and rescue equipment
needs, maintenance and expansion of fire and rescue stations, developing water systems for fire
protection, meeting training and certification requirements, increasing emergency medical service,
improving radio communications, providing service for the regional airport as required by the
Federal Aviation Authority regulations, and developing additional fire and rescue stations to meet
future growth within the county.
Planning for future fire station locations and equipment needs has been accomplished by developing
a five-year strategic plan. This plan identifies future station sites and equipment needs based on
projected service demands and response times. The plan encourages the dedication of sites for new
fire and rescue stations within the identified areas during the rezoning process.
A recent response study was conducted and concluded the need for five additional fire and rescue
stations in the next five years. These stations are to cover the areas of
Green Springs/White Hall
Rt. 522 South/ Rt. 277 East
Middle Road/Cedar Creek Grade
Apple Pie Ridge/ Rt. 522
Route 7/ Redbud Road
Frederick County " 17 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
The response study justifies the need for new fire and rescue stations. The study indicates that in
many areas a ten.minute total response time is not being met. The increased calls to each fire station
create a situation where the 2°° due station has to cover additional areas while the i `, due station is
still out. Non-residential areas such as retail, office, and industrial areas require increased fire
protection because specialized equipment is necessary to insure safety for these land uses. Other
land uses identified as target hazards continue to grow. These include land uses such as schools,
nursing homes, daycare centers, and industrial facilities. These land uses have a higher risk of injury
due to the specific demographics of person utilizing these facilities.
Existing road conditions, primarily those with gravel or dirt surfaces and horizontal and vertical
curvatures, located outside of the county's Urban Development Area (UDA) create longer response
times. The greatest factor contributing to the need for new fire and rescue stations is the rapid
population growth and increases in dwelling units within the County.
The development of new fire and rescue stations could provide an opportunity to extend satellite
services provided by other county departments and agencies. Allocation of space could be created
within new fire and rescue stations for community services provided by the Sheriff's Office, the
Treasurer's Office, the Voter Registrar's Office, and the Commission of the Revenue's Office.
Airport
The Winchester Regional Airport is a 375 -acre, all weather, 24-hour general aviation airport with a
5,500 foot runway located southeast of Interstate 81, Exit 313A. The facility currently has 75 tie
down spaces, two 12,000 square foot public common hangar, 52 T -hangars, and three private
corporate hangars. Based aircraft total 80, and range in size from single engine to large cabin class
business aircraft. Services available include 24-hour U.S. Customs and Immigration, 24-hour on call
line service, automated weather observation system, computerized weather and flight planning
equipment, full instrument landing system, and rental car service.
The Winchester Regional Airport Authority (WRAA) was formed by the Virginia General Assembly
on July 1, 1987. The Authority consists of representatives from the City of Winchester and
Frederick, Clarke, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties. Since its formation, the WRAA has embarked
on an extensive airport improvement program. Major capital improvements have been accomplished
in order to comply with Federal safety and design standards. Completed construction projects
include: a 1,100 foot runway extension, pavement resurfacing of the entire runway, relocation of the
taxiway, the creation of safety areas at each end of the runway, and the remarking of the runway and
taxiway. New buildings constructed under this program include a modern general aviation terminal,
a 12,000 square foot clear span hangar, a maintenance hangar with Fixed Base Operator offices, and
62 T -hangar units. Other completed projects include the airfield lighting upgrade, installation of a
60,000 gallon above ground fuel storage facility, a security fence around the Airport's perimeter, and
the installation of a precision instrument approach to provide better all weather access to the Airport.
Frederick County " 18 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
Collaborating with Frederick County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the
Authority has also made improvements to primary access roads for the Airport. Also completed was
the relocation of Airport Road to remove a portion of the road which infringed on controlled
airspace. Sewer and Water service is also established for the Airport. To date, more than $19
million dollars has been invested in the Winchester Regional Airport's capital improvements,
equipment, and promotions through funding received from the Federal Aviation Administration,
Virginia Department of Aviation, and the local jurisdictions.
Remaining capital projects include the acquisition of land along Bufflick Road for noise abatement,
development of the northern side of the runway, renovation of the 17 year old terminal building and
construction of an aircraft wash rack.
Through the support of the member jurisdictions, the Airport will continue to evolve into a modern,
first class air transportation facility which will assist economic development endeavors in the
attraction of new industrial and commercial businesses to the region.

Handley Library
Library service is provided to Frederick County through the Handley Regional Library, which also
serves Clarke County and the City of Winchester. Currently, there are 21,107 active registered
library card holders in Frederick County.
The regional system supports education, preschool through post -secondary, by providing assistance
and research materials for projects and papers, and by being open weeknights, Saturdays and some
Sundays. The library is also open during the summer when schools are closed. It is also an
important resource for adults seeking to improve their skills and for introducing preschoolers to
books and reading. The library also provides the business community and the general public within
information for their research needs as well as recreations reading.
The regional library system continues to be below per capita state standards in the areas of books,
square footage, seating, and periodical holdings; however, important steps have been taken to
remedy this. The predominant project, through the County's CIP, is the construction of a Northern
Frederick County Branch. This project entails the acquisition of 3 to 4 acres and the construction of
a 7,000 square foot library branch with expansion possible to 10,000 square feet along Route 522 N
near Cross Junction. Initial parking would accommodate 35 vehicles. There is no library in this area
of the county to serve residents. The residents of the Gainesboro District comprise the largest
population group the greatest distance away from a library. The library would serve members of the
population from toddlers to senior citizens.
Also included in the CIP is the need for library branches in the Senseny Road/Greenwood Road area
and on Front Royal Pike (Route 522 South). These projects entail the acquisition of 3 to 4 acres each
and the construction of a 7,000 square foot library branch at each location with expansion possible to
10,000 square feet. This branch would serve citizens living in this rapidly growing area. A library in
these locations will reduce traffic into the Winchester Library(s). These branches would also help
fulfill a community center need within this area, by providing a meeting room.
Another important capital project for the Library will be the expansion of the parking lot and
sidewalks at the Bowman Library Branch. This proposal would expand the parking lot on the
Lakeside Drive side of the library from 101 to 221 parking spaces, and to provide a sidewalk that
will extend approximately 400 to 500 feet beyond the sidewalk that now borders the parking lot to
connect to the sidewalk on Lakeside Drive. The parking lot expansion is needed to relieve
overcrowding and to accommodate library patrons. The sidewalk is necessary to provide safe access
for pedestrians to the library. Planning consideration for alternative modes of transportation such as
bicycle connectivity should also be considered.

County Offices
In addition to the County's main 100,000 square foot administrative office complex in downtown
Winchester, construction began on a 68,000 square foot for Public Safety Building was in the
summer of 2006. The new facility, which is scheduled to open in spring of 2007, is located south of
Route 50, adjacent the regional airport, and will house the Fire and Rescue and Sheriffs
departments. This facility is anticipated to accommodate the space needs of these two departments
for 15-20 years. The building and site were also designed to allow for future expansion of an
additional 30,000 square feet.
Refuse Collection, Landfill, and Recycling
Eleven refuse collection stations are located throughout Frederick County. Nine refuse collection
stations consist of hydraulic compactors with separable roll -off containers and collection facilities for
recyclables. Two sites consist of front end dumpsters and collection containers for recyclables. The
County converts dumpster sites to compactor stations when warranted by tonnage levels. When
practical, the consolidation of sites during the conversion process is also desirable. For residents
who prefer curbside refuse collection, service is provided by a number of private haulers.
The Frederick County Landfill is a regional facility which receives refuse from Frederick and Clarke
Counties, as well as the City of Winchester. The landfill is operated by Frederick County as an
enterprise fund and the landfill operation is fee sustaining. The management and planning of landfill
operations are solely the responsibility of Frederick County, with input from an oversight committee
comprised of representatives from Frederick and Clarke Counties and the City of Winchester.
Closure of the older section of the landfill, which opened in 1976, was completed in 1994. A new
160 -acre tract of adjacent land, purchased in 1986, was opened for landfilling in 1993.
Approximately 90 acres of this tract have been permitted for landfilling under the current Subtitle
"D" Solid Waste Regulations. Both the closure of the old section and the construction of the section
were carried out in accordance with state regulations that require sophisticated environmental
protection measures, including: composite impermeable liners, a complete leachate collection
system, leachate treatment facility, groundwater monitoring, and gas monitoring.
In an effort to extend the useful life of the municipal solid waste landfill, a 109 acre wooded tract
was purchased from Ryland Carper for the future development of a construction debris landfill. The
permitting, design, and construction of this new CDD landfill were completed in 1998. Through
diversion of bulky, construction debris to a separate landfill; an amendment to the state permit
allowing vertical expansion, and improved compaction technologies, the life of the landfill has been
extended to approximately 40 years. A new program to recirculate leachate or liquids through the
landfill will also increase decomposition and extend the life of the municipal solid waste landfill.
The County should continue to evaluate new methods for waste reduction and support recycling
programs, both of which will extend the life of the landfill.
Frederick County " 21 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
During the 1990s, the County placed collection boxes for recyclable materials at each of the citizens'
convenience areas located throughout the County. In 2004, containers were also added at dumpster
sites. Through this voluntary collection effort, the County was able to meet the 1995 state recycling
mandate of 25 percent mandated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Due to the rapid growth in
Frederick County, additional programs have been implemented to enable the County to exceed the
State's 25 percent recycling goal. These programs include: brush and yard waste mulching,
composting, waste oil recycling, oil filter recycling, cardboard and phone book recycling, tire
shredding, household hazardous waste collection, and electronics recycling.
It is essential that new residential developments are provided with an appropriate means of solid
waste collection. Either private collection or new collection stations, including land, should be
provided by developers.
Sewer and Water Facilities
The location of public sewer and water lines determines where urban development will occur. The
Urban Development Area defines the general area in which more intensive forms of residential
development will occur. Commercial, industrial, and institutional land uses are also encouraged
within the Urban Development Area. The Sewer and Water Service Area is consistent with the
Urban Development Area in many locations. However, the Sewer and Water Service Area may
extend beyond the Urban Development Area to promote commercial, industrial, and institutional
land uses in areas where residential land uses are not desirable.
The Frederick County Sanitation Authority has the responsibility for the treatment, transmission, and
distribution of potable water and the collection and transmission of wastewater. Most of the sewer
and water mains and laterals in the County are owned, operated, and maintained by the Sanitation
Authority.
Frederick County and the Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) have executed a Facilities
Planning Agreement which sets forth procedures for the planning of sewer and water mains in the
County. The agreement includes provisions for adopting a water and sewer facilities plan as a part of
the Comprehensive Plan, specifying the location of mains over eight inches in size, and includes
provisions for review and update of the plan and for including sewer and water facilities projects in
the Frederick County Capital Improvements Plan.
The City of Winchester owns and maintains sewer and water lines in portions of the County adjacent
to the City corporate limits. Such lines have been extended into the County following a previous
agreement between the City and the County.
The Frederick -Winchester Service Authority (FWSA) has the sole responsibility of providing
Frederick County v 22 Comprehensive Flan
Community Facilities and Services
wastewater facilities to serve the FCSA and the City of Winchester's treatment needs. The FWSA
currently owns the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility, the Parkins Mills Wastewater Treatment
Plant and the Crooked Run Wastewater Treatment Plant and has operational agreements with the
City and the FCSA for their operation. The City operates and maintains the Opequon Facility while
the Sanitation Authority is responsible for operation and maintenance of Parkins Mills and Crooked
Run Facilities.
Treatment of wastewater generated from within the County's Sewer and Water Service Area
(SWSA) is undertaken at all plants. The Opequon Service Area is comprised of the Abrams Creek
drainage area which includes the City of Winchester and adjacent drainage areas located east, west
and north of the City of Winchester. All wastewater coming from the City of Winchester is
transported to and treated at the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility. The Parkins Mills Wastewater
Treatment Plant serves Sanitation Authority customers located in the upper Opequon Creek, Wrights
Run, and Stephens Run drainage areas along with the Town of Stephens City. The Crooked Run
Service Area services the Shenandoah Community in southeastern Frederick County.
The Opequon Water Reclamation Facility presently has a seasonal hydraulic capacity of 8.4 millions
gallons per day during summer months and 16.0 million gallons per day during the winter months.
The facility has 18,000 pounds per day of biological capacity and also provides for biological
nutrient removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. Based on the projections contained in the 1997
Opequon Water Reclamation Facility Capacity Needs Evaluation Report the present treatment
configuration will meet both hydraulic and biological demands through 2007 - 2008.
The Frederick Winchester Service Authority has already begun design for an expansion and upgrade
of the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility to meet future growth needs and regulatory requirements
requiring dramatic reductions of nutrient discharges from treatment facilities located in the
Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The initial expansion and upgrade will increase the hydraulic capacity
of the facility to a maximum of 12.6 million gallons per day. Obtaining this capacity will depend on
the final wasteload allocation for nutrients assigned to the Opequon Facility under the Water Quality
Management Plan Regulations adopted by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Present planning would
anticipate the expanded facility would be operational by 2010-2011.
The Parkins Mills Wastewater Treatment Plant which serves the upper Stephens Run, Wrights Run,
and Opequon drainage areas has a present rated capacity of 2.0 million gallons per day. The current
average daily flow of this plant is about 75% of the design capacity. This facility also will be limited
in it ultimate capacity by nutrients. Design of an expanded and upgraded facility is complete and
construction of that facility began in early 2007. When construction is complete in 2009, the Parkins
Mills Wastewater Treatment Plant will have a capacity of 5.0 million gallons per day.
The intention is that additional extensions of sewer and water service will reflect the boundaries of
the UDA. The extension of mains into areas not included in the sewer and water service areas
Frederick County " 23 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
described by the facilities plan will require an amendment to the comprehensive plan. In this way,
the County will maintain an orderly process of development. All sewer and water mains extended
should be publicly owned mains.

Capital Improvements Plan
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is the community's plan for public facilities. It provides a list
of projects planned for five years and is updated each year as projects are completed and new
projects added. In general, projects on the Capital Improvements Plan are relatively expensive, fixed
assets that require expenditures that do not recur annually and last for a relatively long time.
The first year in the Capital Improvements Plan should provide a capital budget for the upcoming
fiscal year. The scheduling of projects needs to be coordinated with plans for development contained
in the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan should be used as a tool to aid in determining
priorities among projects, for estimating required funding, and for scheduling projects. The Capital
Improvements Plan helps to guide development, to achieve the most efficient use of funds, and to
maintain a stable financial program.
The County's procedures for reviewing and adopting the CIP need to be improved. The CIP needs to
have a direct link to available or projected funds. Projects need to be systematically reviewed against
established standards in order to determine priorities. These standards need to be developed and
reviewed on a regular basis. The County Finance Department should play an active role in the CIP
development process.
Facility Cost Impacts
Rezoning requests should be evaluated to determine their potential impacts on the community
facilities. Costs to the County should be estimated in terms of what impact the development, which
could result from the proposed rezoning, would have on facilities and infrastructure. These costs are
estimated in terms of facility use per unit of development. The estimated facility use is determined
through the use of established multipliers which use averages derived from existing development.
These multipliers set out such factors as: expected numbers of vehicle trips, school children, gallons
of sewer and water usage per dwelling unit, square footage of commercial use, or person. The
demand on various facilities resulting from a proposed rezoning can then be estimated based on the
costs of facilities listed in the Capital Improvements Plan. Initially, costs are estimated in terms of
the actual costs of providing facilities to support the potential development.
In 1991, Frederick County's first impact model was developed. The fiscal impact model was utilized
to project the fiscal impacts of rezonings on public schools, parks and recreation, and fire and rescue
services for capital facilities costs. In 1998, a revised version of the impact model was adopted by
the Board of Supervisors. This new model was designed to project the fiscal impacts of
miscellaneous public facilities, as well as the public agencies that were accounted for in the previous
impact model. The impact model projects the gross potential costs of the facilities that would be
needed to support a new development using the basic formula described above. In 2005, the Board
of Supervisors endorsed for use a new Development Impact Model (DIM) designed specifically for
Frederick County. This model projects the capital fiscal impacts that would be associated with
Frederick County " 25 Comprehensive Plan
Community Facilities and Services
specific development projects on the budget of Frederick County Government and the Frederick
County School Board. The DIM was developed to represent the budgetary structure of the County
and could be used to evaluate fixture land use planning scenarios.
No rezoning should be approved unless the net impacts on community facilities are positive, or if the
negative impacts can be adequately addressed through proffers or some other means. A request for
rezoning may be turned down even though all fiscal impacts appear to be addressed. If there are
other impacts which are not addressed by the rezoning application, or if the request does not conform
to this plan, a similar method should be developed for determining the impacts of proposed
developments on transportation systems and other public facilities.
