CALL TO ORDER & ADOPTION OF AGENDA Vice Chairman Thomas called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Upon motion made by Commissioner Kriz and seconded by Conunissioner Triplett, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted the agenda for this evening's meeting. MEETING MINUTES Upon motion made by Commissioner Kriz and seconded by Commissioner Triplett, the nninutes of September 5, 2007 were unanimously approved as presented. COMMITTEE REPORTS Development Review & Relzulations Subcommittee (DRRS) — 09/27/07 Mtg. Vice Chairman Thomas reported that the DRRS continued their discussions on the conversion of SIC Code classifications in the Zoning Ordinance to the NAISC Code classifications. He said the DRRS studied and agreed upon the B2 Districts and is now ready to move on to other areas. Frederick County Planning Commission Page 2118 Minutes of October 3, 2007 11111 ��JJ�uA ,0 -2 - Sign Ordinance Working Group —10/02/07 Mtg. Corrunissioner Unger reported that the Sign Ordinance Working Group has been meeting every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. He reported that the working group talked about the nrunber of signs allowed to be posted on a particular property and this issue raised some controversy. Commissioner Unger said questions were raised about the size of posted signs and areas where more than eight businesses are located in one park. He said allowing a larger sign for these particular locations was proposed, to enable visibility from the road. Commissioner Unger said sign heights were also discussed and the conclusion reached was that signs may be at least 25 feet high on B2 -zoned properties; however, the issue still caused controversy because of topography. A proposal was made for sign heights to be measured at the property entrance, so the sign wouldn't be too low. Transportation Committee — 09/24/07 Mtg. Conunissioner Kriz reported that the Transportation Connnuttee discussed and took action on six items: 1) The Enhancement Grant application for Senseny Road was sent forward to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation for submittal. This grant, in the amowit of $1,517,600, has a local match component of 20%; however, the application process does not obligate the County. Conunissioner Kriz provided further explanation about the grant to the Commission. 2) The 2007 Capital Improvement Program was sent forward with a recommendation for approval. CommissionerKriz noted that the list of transportation projects is the same as last year with the addition of the Exit 307 relocation. 3) No work was done on Access Management because the VDOT version will not be available until October 2, 2007. Public continents on the VDOT version will be received on October 22, 2007. 4) The CPPS's Route 277 Triangle Study was mentioned and a member of the Transportation Committee will be included in this working group. 5) The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Activity Update was included in the agenda materials, but not discussed. 6) There was discussion about the need for some ordinance changes regarding entrance spacing and inter -parcel connectors to assist the Planning Department and the Planning Commission before the Access Management Plan is completed; this request will be sent to the Board of Supervisors for their reconunendations. Conservation Easement Authority (CEA) Conunissioner Light reported that the CEA is having a fund-raising event at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley on October 27, 2007 for the education and promotion of the conservation of rural lands in Frederick County. CTIZEN COMMENTS Vice Chairman Thomas called for citizen comments on any item that was not on this evening's agenda. No one came forward to speak. Frederick County Planning Commission M Yage 2-1 l Minutes of October 3, 20076' F T -3 - PUBLIC HEARING Conditional Use Permit 907-07 of Florence Heflin for an Adult Care Residence at 215 Stafford Drive (Route 1226). The property is identified with P.I.N. 54E -4-B2 in the Red Bud Magisterial District. Action — Reconunended Approval With Conditions Planner Lauren Krempa reported that the proposed conditional use application is for an adult care facility which will take place within the existing structure at 115 Stafford Drive. Ms. Krempa stated that the property is zoned RP (Residential Perfomlance) and convalescent and nursing homes, adult -care residences, and assisted living care facilities are permitted in this zoning district with an approved conditional use permit (CUP). She said the applicant is requesting the ability to operate a small-scale adult care residence consisting of one or two adults at a time. Ms. Krempa said that based on the review agency comments from the Building Official, the staff believes up to five care recipients at one time would be appropriate, provided there is no more than one recipient per bedroom. She noted the Sanitation Authority has made no continents regarding any increased usage of public facilities that would occur as a result of this business. Ms. Krempa said that in an effort to prevent any negative impacts to the surrounding properties, the staff is recormnending limiting the hours of visitation to between 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In addition, staff is recommending that all vehicles should be parked on the 115 Stafford Drive property, due to the narrow streets m" the Frederick Heights subdivision. She said the applicant has ample driveway and garage space to accommodate this condition. Ms. Krempa added that the applicant does not intend to employ any additional nursing or care staff to assist with this business; therefore, staff feels the prohibition of any additional employees on the property further protects the surrounding property owners from the impacts of the business. Ms. Krempa next read the list of reconunended conditions, should the Commission find the use to be appropriate. Ms. Jeanette Heflin and Ms. Florence Heflin, the property owners and applicants, were available to answer questions from the Connmission. Vice Chairman Thomas asked the applicants if they understood all of the conditions presented by the staff. The Heflins replied that they did. Vice Chairman Thomas called for public continents. No one came forward and Vice Chairman Thomas closed the public continent portion of the hearing. Continissioner Unger questioned the wording of recommended Condition #5, noting it implied no one was allowed on the property, other than the residents of 215 Stafford Drive. Ms. Krempa said the condition is intended to mean the applicants will not hire any outside help. Ms. Krempa said that both applicants are nurses and they did not feel any outside help would be necessary. Upon motion made by Commissioner Kerr and seconded by Cominissioner Mohn, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit 407-07 of Florence Heflin for an adult care residence at 215 Stafford Drive (Route 1226) in the Red Bud Magisterial District, with the following conditions: Frederick County Planning Commission, Page 2120 Minutes of October 3, 2007 11 QM The adult care residence facility shall take place entirely inside the existing residential dwelling, located at 215 Stafford Drive. 2. No rnore titan five occupants shall be allowed on the property for the_, purpose of the adult care residence at any time. There shall be no more than one care -receiving occupant per bedroom. 3. No signs shall be posted on the property advertising the adult care residence. 4. Visiting hours for the adult care residence shall be limited to between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. All visitor vehicles should be parked on the property of 215 Stafford Drive. No employees, other than residents of 215 Stafford Drive, are pennitted on the property. 6. One business vehicle shall be permitted on the property for the transport of occupants. 7. Any expansion or change of use shall require a new conditional use pen -nit. (Note: Conw-iissioners Watt, Ours, and Wilmot were absent from the meeting.) Authorization to Apply for a Virginia Department of Transportation Enhancement Grant to Implement Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements in the Vicinity of Senseny Road Elementary School. Action — Recommended Approval Deputy Director -Transportation, John A. Bishop, reported that the County Staff has been working to refine an application for a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Enhancement Grant for the current application cycle. Mr. Bishop explained that enhancement grants are federal funds awarded by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) on an annual basis for improvements to bicycle and pedestrian transportation. He noted this is a grant with a local match component of 20%, however, the application process itself does not obligate County funds. Mr. Bishop stated that for this year's application cycle, the staff has recommended an application for enhancements to bicycle and pedestrian transportation in the vicinity of Senseny Road Elementary School. He noted this is a continuation of this project which was awarded $140,000 based upon last year's application. He said the proposed project would add paved multi -use paths to the northern and southern sides of Senseny Road between I-81 and the Orrick Commons project. The project would also include improvements to the crossovers of roadways traversed by the paths and an additional crossover of Senseny Road at Senseny Elementary School. Mr. Bishop continued, stating there were a number of ways Frederick County could meet the required match, including proffers, staff project management, dedicated property or right -of --way, and any other grant funds received by the County. He said it was the staff's intention that either very little or none of the project would be fiuided out of the County's general funds. Mr. Bishop said the Transportation Committee reviewed this on September 24, 2007 and unanimously recommended endorsement. Vice Chaimlan Thomas called for public comments at this point in the hearing. No one came forward to speak and the Vice Chairman closed the public connnent portion of the meeting. Frederick County Planning Commission Page 2121 Minutes of October 3, 2007 0 FU LAI F T -5 - Commissioner Kriz was pleased with the effort Mr. Bishop had put forth to develop last year's enhancement grant and with the money received. He said if the County receives 20%-25% of this application, there will be a significant amount of money for the County to make accomplishments in the Senseny Road area. Commissioner Kriz complimented Mr. Bishop for a good job on this application, as well as his efforts seeking other areas for grants. Connnissioner Kriz made a motion to endorse the enhancement grant application as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Morris_ BE IT RESOLVED, that the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously endorse the Virginia Department of Transportation's 2007-2008 Enhancement Grant Application to Implement Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements in the vicinity of the Senseny Road Elementary School and recommends that the Board of Supervisors provide authorization to apply. (Note: Conunissioners Watt, Ours, and Wilmot were absent from the meeting.) An Ordinance to Amend the Frederick County Code, Chapter 165, Zoning Ordinance, Section 165-156, Definitions and Word Usage for Single -Family Action — Reconvnended Approval Planning Director, Eric R. Lawrence, reported that on September 12, 2007, the Board of Supervisors reviewed a Public Works Commnittee report which recommended Frederick County adopt a definition for single family. Mr. Lawrence said that because the definition will be placed within the zoning ordinance, it is being presented to the Planning Commission as a public hearing. He noted the Planning Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors and the Board will consider a larger package assembled by the Public Works Committee. Mr. Lawrence explained the underlying task of the Public Works Committee was to study the occupancy loading of residential structures within the County. Mr. Lawrence proceeded to read the proposed definition for the Commission. Continents from the Planning Connmission included inquiry about adopted or foster children. Mr. Lawrence replied if it is a foster program or if the children are formally adopted, they become a part of the family and the two adults living in the home are caring for those children. Vice Chairman Thomas called for public comments and the following persons came forward to speak: Mr. Vincent Diem, 137 Woodrow Road, spoke in support of the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment, Section 165-156, to adopt a definition for single family. Mr. Diem stated that residential over- crowding, excessive occupancy, or any other similar phrases are becoming topics of household and neighborhood concern throughout Northern Virginia and most recently, the northern Shenandoah Valley. He said the citizens within any incorporated municipality in the Commonwealth have a legitimate interest and an inalienable expectation of health, safety, and welfare within neighborhoods and common areas. It was Mr. Diem's opinion that the County was delegated with a sizable portion of this responsibility. He noted a growing concern that over- crowding is a direct threat to health, safety, and welfare of citizens within neighborhoods, as well as the occupants of the home that is excessively occupied. He said many municipalities have adopted a two -prong approach, realizing that neither the property maintenance code provisions of the Uniform Statewide Building Code, nor the Frederick County Planning Commission Page 2122 Minutes of October 3, 2007 i 'N r�dt! Q. zoning ordinance can be adequately affective alone. Mr. Diem said that recent discussions among the Board of Supervisors and within the Public Works Committee had centered on adopting the applicable provisions of the property maintenance code. He said he was encouraged that the Planning Cominission is simultaneously considering adopting this zoning ordinance amendment. He believed the tentative adoption of these provisions provides a crucial first step in preserving quality of life and will only succeed with a partnership of continued involvement from within the residential communities and consistent enforcement efforts from the County staff aimed at resolving the over -crowding concerns. He encouraged the Planning Com mission, the elected Board of Supervisors, and County staff to continue pressing forward in not only identifying the magnitude and impact of residential over -crowding in our neighborhoods, but to consider a variety of alternative resolution efforts as well. Ms. Kathryn Green, 140 Woodrow Road, agreed with the comments made by her neighbor, Mr. Vincent Diem. Ms. Green said last year, she telephoned the County to report a neighbor's home with seven to eight cars in the driveway; she said all the residents were men and this wasn't a family situation. She commented that it seemed to be lowering the quality of life, particularly with late night parties. She said the County personnel told her there was nothing in the County Code to enforce. She thought this might be a circumstance where an owner had purchased a home and rented the home to eight or nine people. Ms. Green encouraged the Commission to consider and adopt this amendment. Mr. Hewitt L. Sisk, 138 Woodrow Road, spoke in support of the proposed amendment. Mr. Sisk said there are laws in this country that everyone must abide by and his neighborhood was simply asking for the laws to be enforced so that everyone is on an equal balance. No one else came forward to speak and Vice Chainnan Thomas closed the public comment portion of the hearing Vice Chainnan Thomas stated this proposed amendment was an effort to place specificity into the County Code with a satisfactory definition. Conunissioner Morris voiced concerns with the proposal. He questioned what the County was trying to fix, how it would be enforced, and under what circumstances would it have meaning. Commissioner Morris asked what criteria will be used to detennine whether someone is actually living in a house or simply visiting for an extended time period. He was concerned that in the haste to fix something, the County could, in an exclusionary way, be interfering with honest -to -goodness people trying to survive. Mr. LaNvrence replied the staff would need to establish a program before the single-family definition could be enforced. Vice Chainnan Thomas added there is little the staff can do without having a definition of single-family; this is the first step in a number of actions that will have to be done. Vice Chainnan Thomas said that single-family housing is frequently referred to in the zoning and subdivision ordinances, but the term is not defined. Conunissioner Manuel thought the definition needed more study. He gave an example of four widows wanting to share a four-bedroom house or pharmaceutical students at Shenandoah University sharing a four-bedroom house. Conunissioner Manuel thought there were other situations that needed to be considered. Other Commissioners believed it was important to include a definition of single-family for the purposes of identifying housing types within the ordinance. They did not believe a definition for single family was an uncommon item to see in a zoning ordinance and the definition was consistent with what many communities would use. Commissioners believed the details of enforcement will be a critical task for the community to accomplish in a careful and thoughtful way. Frederick County Planning Commission - Page 2123 Minutes of October 3, 2007 0 1 -7 - Commissioner Light made a motion to recommend approval of the proposed amendment. This motion was seconded by Conunissioner Molui, BE IT RESOLVED, that by a majority vote, the Frederick County Planning Conuiussion does hereby recommend approval of an ordinance to amend the Frederick County Code, Chapter 165, Zoning Ordinance, Section 165-156, Definitions and Word Usage, with the addition of a definition for single-family, as follows: Single -Family — Two (2) or more persons related by blood or marriage occupying a dwelling, living together and maintaining a household, which may include not more than one (1) unrelated person; however, not more than three (3) unrelated persons occupying a dwelling, living together and maintaining a household shall be deemed to constitute a single-family, YES (TO APPROVE): Mohn, Triplett, Kriz, Thomas, Light, Oates, Unger NO: Morris, Manuel (Note: Conunissioners Watt, Ours, and Wilmot were absent from the meeting; ConunissiODer Kerr was absent for this item.) ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. by a unanimous vote. Respectfully submitted, Roger L. Thomas, Vice Chairman Eric R. Lawrence, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission Page 2124 Minutes of October 3, 2007 MEETING MINUTES OF THE FREDERICK COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Held in the Board Room of the Frederick County Administration Building at 107 North Kent Street in Winchester, Virginia on October 17, 2007.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Comprehensive Plans & Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) — 10/08/07 & 10/11/07 Mtgs. Conumissioner Oates reported that the CPPS discussed the Route 277 Triangle Study at their meeting on October 8, 2007. He said an announcement was made regarding proposed committee members for this new study group, when the committee will be formed, and when work will begin. Commissioner Oates said the first meeting was held on October 11, 2007 and the group reviewed a transportation layout, the boundaries of the Route 277 Study, and a schedule of meeting dates. He said the next meeting will be held on Thursday, October 25, 2007, at 7:30 a.m. Frederick County Planning Commission Page 2125 Minutes of October 17, 2007 -2 - Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) —10/16/07 Mtg. Commissioner Oates reported that the HRAB finished their work on the History chapter of the Comprehensive Policy Plan and voted to send it forward to the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS). The HRAB also reviewed the Route 277 Triangle Study area and will meet again in November to compile a list and map of the historic features within the study area. In addition, the HRAB discussed possible projects, such as a website, creating a driving tour, and refocusing on the Plaque Program. Commissioner Oates said that since there have not been any rezoning applications since last April, the HRAB felt they should take advantage of this slowdown to reach other goals. Economic Development Commission (EDC) —10/05/07 Mtg. Commissioner Kerr reported that the EDC had four action items at their meeting: 1) endorsed a letter dealing with water re -use regulations; the EDC is striving to formulate incentives for local industry to use reclaimed water. 2) discussed the direct-mail update; the EDC mailed hand-held GPS units, with pre- programmed locations, to potential businesses. 3) discussed the next phase of the commuter -capture communication plan; radio, newspaper, and television advertisements will be used to disperse information. 4) the EDC is considering product showcase, where the EDC would create and locate display cabinets for various industries within schools. Sanitation Authority (SA) — 10/16/07 Mtg. Conunissioner Unger reported that rainfall for the month of September was slightly less than 2'/s inches; rainfall is down considerably this year.

D&M Contractors was awarded the bid for Abrams Creek West at $1.6 million and Patterson Construction was awarded the bid for the H.P. Hood Water Pump Station at $1.2 million. Commissioner Unger also reported that the City of Winchester will be serving 26 homes within the Willow Run project, at the request of the SA, because of topography reasons. Winchester Planning Commission Chairman Wilmot reported that Comnussioner Manuel has volunteered to be a substitute should anyone find they are unable to fulfil their liaison assignment at the City of Winchester Planning Commission meetings. Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of October 17, 2007 Page 2126 -3 - Transportation Committee — 10/10/07 Mtg. Conunissioner Oates reported that a few of the Transportation Committee members met to discuss the access and entrance management draft plan proposed by VDOT. He said the plan was made available at the beginning of October with only 30 days for the public and local governments to comment. He said that while there were a few issues of concern by the members, such as addressing existing access problems, the overall document received the committee's endorsement. Conservation Easement Authority (CEA) The Conservation Easement Authority will be hosting a fund-raising event at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley on Saturday evening, October 27, 2007, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for the education and promotion of the conservation of rural lands in Frederick County.

Commissioner Thomas hoped the draft ordinance would be to the full Planning Commission before December. Conunissioner Thomas commented that representatives from the oil, hotel, and automobile industries attended all of the meetings. CTIZEN COMMENTS Chairman Wilmot called for citizen continents on any item that was not on this evening's agenda. No one came forward to speak. PUBLIC HEARING Rezoning 410-07 of Jude and Cheryl Sparrow to rezone 7.73 acres from RP (Residential Performance) District to RA (Rural Areas) District. The property is located at 240 Glendobbin Road (Rt. 639) at the intersection with Quaker Lane. The property is further identified with P.I.N. 42-22-5-24 in the Stonewall Magisterial District. Action — Recommended Approval Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of October 17, 2007 Page 2127 -4 - Deputy Director, Michael T. Ruddy, reported that one house has been constructed on this property and the use is residential. Within the immediate vicinity, there is a combination of RP (Residential Performance) Zoning and RA (Rural Areas) Zoning with all of the surrounding properties being used for residential purposes. He said this property was included in the 131 acres rezoned to RP in 1986. Following the rezoning, the McGuire Hills MDP was approved and this particular lot is a part of McGuire Hills, Section Five, which was approved in 2000. The property was also previously located within the County's Urban Development Area (UDA); however, with the County's boundary modification exercise that took place in 2006, this particular property, along with some other properties, was removed from the County's UDA. Therefore, the property is now located within the Rural Areas. Mr. Ruddy explained the Rural Areas of the County are intended to promote agricultural land uses and larger -lot residential uses without public water and sewer. He noted that the proposed RA Zoning would not allow an additional subdivision of this particular property and with regards to the permitted uses, it could be anticipated that agricultural uses may now be allowed. He stated that no impacts are anticipated and the land use proposed is consistent with the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan and promotes the County's rural areas. Conunissioner Morris connrnented that the applicant would be able to follow the basic principles of the Right -to -Farm Act with this RA Zoning and, theoretically, he could raise hogs on the property, if he desired. Mr. Ruddy replied that within the RA Zoning District, agricultural uses are permitted. Commissioner Thomas inquired why the property would not be eligible for a two -acre family subdivision by right. Mr. Ruddy replied the subdivision ordinance requires a minimum density of one unit per five acres. He explained that only existing lots established prior to the ordinance in 1991, containing less than seven to ten acres, may be divided for a family subdivision. Mr. Ruddy said this lot was created after that date and, therefore, can not be further subdivided. Mr. Jude Sparrow, the property owner and applicant, was available to answer questions. Mr. Sparrow said he had no intention of raising hogs; he said this was strictly for horses. Chainnan Wilmot called for public connnents. No one came forward and Chairman Wilmot closed the public coni vent portion of the hearing. Commissioner Thomas asked if the Right -to -Farm Act would supersede covenants established by the McGuire Hills subdivision. Mr. Ruddy believed the subdivision covenants would still be valid; however, the County Attorney could make a determination prior to the Board of Supervisors' public hearing. Commissioner Oates made a motion to approve the rezoiung_ This motion was seconded by Commissioner Kriz and was unanimously passed. BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of Rezoning Application # 10-07 of Jude and Cheryl Sparrow to rezone 7.73 acres from RP (Residential Performance) District to RA (Rural Areas) District. The property is located at 240 Glendobbin Road (Rt. 639) at the intersection with Quaker Lane in the Stonewall Magisterial District. (Note: Commissioners Watt and Light were absent from the meeting.) Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of October 17, 2007 Page 2128 -5 - Conditional Use Permit 906-07 of Mundy Sand, LLC, submitted by Benjamin M. Butler, Esq., for a sand mine operation. This property, zoned RA (Rural Areas) District, is located near Brill Road (Route 603) and Gravel Springs, along the eastern foot of Paddy Mountain. The property is further identified with P.I.N. 69 -A -7C in the Back Creek Magisterial District. Action — Tabled for 45 Days to December 5, 2007 Zoning and Subdivision Administrator, Mark R. Cheran, reported that this property is subject to Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 4005-99 for a sand mine operation, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 10, 1989. The CUP specifies all of the mining operations will be conducted on 17 acres of a 174 -acre parcel at approximately 300 feet or more from any adjoining properties. Mr. Cheran said the applicant is requesting an amendment to the CUP by deleting the following conditions: 1) This is a five-year permit to be reviewed annually by the staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors; and, 2) If the use, occupancy, or ownership of the property changes, this CUP shall expire and a new CUP will be required. Mr. Cheran remarked that these conditions are no longer required by Frederick County for CUPS. Mr. Cheran next read a list of recontinended conditions, should the Connnission find the use to be appropriate. Mr. Cheran continued, stating that prior to staff sending out the Commission's agenda, the applicant met with VDOT representatives and agreed to an additional VDOT requirement. Mr. Cheran read the requirement, as follows: "The applicant will surface treat the road from the entrance of this site, from Brill Road (Route 603) to Pifer Road (Route 600), when requested by VDOT." Mr. Cheran noted this would be an added condition to those already recommended by the staff. Conunissioner Thomas inquired how the setback distances from Gravel Springs Run came about. He conmiented that since this was a surface -scraping operation, rather than a mining operation, he would prefer to limit the depth and, possibly, have a depth -to -distance ratio next to Gravel Springs Run. Commissioner Thomas also questioned the limitation for portable crushers only, as stated under Condition 410. He said a portable crusher creates more dust and problems than a permanent crusher. Mr. Benjamin M. Butler, Esq., with McKee & Butler, P.L.C., was representing Mundy Sand, LLC in this application. Mr. Butler explained that Mundy Sand has taken over Mr. Brill's existing operation. He said that Mundy Sand did not want to enter into any contractual obligations with the owner unless some of the conditions were amended, otherwise, they would be in violation from the start. Mr. Butler said this request is not to expand an existing CUP, but is simply a continuation of Mr. Brill's existing operation. Conunissioner Morris inquired about the road treatment required by VDOT. Mr. Butler replied that VDOT has indicated they will expect Mundy Sand to do dust abatement, if there tends to be a lot of traffic. Furthermore, VDOT would dictate if the road needs to be tar and chip, etc. Commissioner Unger asked Mr. Butler if activity at the site would increase when Mundy Sand takes over the operation. Mr. Bulter replied yes; however, it may only be one truck per hour. Chainnan Wilmot called for public continents and the following persons came forward to speak: Mr. Robert M. Engle, a resident at 501 Brill Road, said he and his wife, Josie, own 66 acres and they were opposed to the CUP. Mr. Engle said they purchased this property for their retirement and the peace and quiet; he said there has not been any recent activity on this site. He said the success of the site for Mundy Sand will be based on the number of trucks going into and out of the site. Mr. Engle was concerned about the noise and dust of earth -moving equipment and trucks five days a week. He noted that this site is accessed by a one -lane road. Mr. Engle said this operation will negatively affect their quality of life. Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of October 17, 2007 Page 2129 QM Mr. Tony E. Plaugher, a resident at 409 Brill Road, was opposed to the CUP. Mr. Plaugher said Brill Road is not wide enough for two dump trucks to pass each other and trucks will be running up onto the property owners' yards. He was also concerned about noise and dust. He mentioned that when the sand mine was previously in operation, the crusher ran until dark and sand was being hauled on Sundays. Ms. Melissa Salyers, a resident at 451 Brill Road, said she lived directly across from the sand pit. She said her biggest concern was having dump trucks and school buses traveling on the same road. She said Brill Road was not wide enough for a dump truck and a school bus to pass each other. Ms. Salyers said that she gets a considerable amount of runoff from the Brill property and she was concerned the runoff would increase. Ms. Salyers presented photographs to the Commission to show the narrow road. Ms. Robin Hutchinson, a resident at 1696 South Pifer Road, said she operated an equine breeding business. She was concerned about her safety while taking mares and foals back and forth across the road from the property she owns to property she leases. She was worried about the safety of her children and the neighborhood children because of speeding traffic. Ms. Hutchinson said she also had concerns about dust, noise, and speeding traffic. She added that her house was only 15-20 feet from the road. Ms. Hutchinson said she was opposed to the proposed CUP. She presented to the Commission a copy of the letter detailing her concerns that she wrote to Mr. David W. Harrison, President of Mundy Quarries. Ms. Sue Tannenbaum said she hopes to soon be building a house on land located about eight - tenths of a mile from the sand mine on the paved portion of Brill Road. Not only did she have concerns about dump trucks maneuvering on the narrow, winding dirt portion of Brill Road that most of her neighbors live on, but she had concerns about the paved portions of Pifer and Brill Roads. She said the paved portions were only slightly wider with some homes as little as four feet from the road. She also expressed safety concerns for the neighborhood children and school buses. Ms. Tannenbaum was concerned about the number of trucks per day, especially if the operation is successful, and she suggested the possibility of constructing a separate truck access frorn the Brill property to Route 55. Mr. Louis E. Lacaria, a resident at 901 Wardensville Pike, said he owned 41 acres just to the north of Mr. Brill's property. Mr. Lacaria said he was a disabled veteran and he and his wife moved to this area in 1988 for the peace and quiet. He said if this operation is allowed, it will force him to move. He said he would not be able to tolerate the constant equipment noise. He agreed with his neighbors who spoke about the condition of the roads and the safety hazards. No one else wished to speak and Chairman Wilmot closed the public comment portion of the hearing. Mr. Butler returned to the podiunn to address some of the comments that were made. Mr. Butler read the comment from VDOT, "... the application for the CUP for this property appears to have little measurable impact on Brill Road (Route 603), the VDOT facility which would provide access to the property." Mr. Butler did not believe there would be a lot of truck traffic and he requested that Mundy Sand be given the opportunity to operate under the existing CUP. Commission members discussed the validity of the existing CUP with a change in property ownership or if the property was leased. Recognizing that the sand vein traversed a good portion of the Brill property, a Commissioner inquired if any relocation of operations to follow the vein would require a new CUP and the staff replied yes. Commission members considered additional and/or more specific conditions that could be placed on the CUP, possibly restricting the number of trucks per day and the hours of operation. Another concern was the narrow width of Brill Road; Commissioners suggested either limiting the number of trucks or requiring the road to be widened. Commission members recognized that Mundy Sand was a reputable firm and the proposed operation was a valuable and needed industry. A Commission member said he was not as Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of October 17, 2007 Page 2130 -7 - concerned with Mundy Sand extracting the sand and Mundy Sand drivers as he was with other commercial operators who would come in to purchase the sand; he pointed out that these outside drivers would have no vested interest in either driving safely or conducting themselves well up and down the road. Commissioners noted that the CUP could be pulled if the operation would get out of hand; and, in addition, VDOT could shut down the operation if their requests are not fulfilled or if trucks are not operating safely on the road. Other members of the Commission commented that this will be a different operation than what it was years ago and the number of trucks going in and out is an unknown factor at this time. These Commissioners did not believe the road was safe for a daily operation in its existing condition. Mr. Butler requested the Conunission table the CUP request for 30 to 45 days to provide the applicant the opportunity to address the concerns that have been raised. Mr. Butler said they could define the hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to Noon on Saturday, and could make a conurnitment to widen Brill Road. Coinmissioner Unger moved to table the CUP request for 45 days. This motion was seconded by Connnissioner Kriz and unanimously passed. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Frederick Cowity Planning Commission does hereby unanimously agree to table Conditional Use Permit #06-07 of Mundy Sand, LLC, submitted by Benjamin M. Butler, Esq., for a sand mine operation located near Brill Road (Route 603) and Gravel Springs, along the eastern foot of Paddy Mountain, for 45 days in order to provide the applicant the opportunity to address concerns raised by the public and the Commission. (Note: Conunissioners Watt and Light were absent from the meeting.) Request to revise the Round Hill Community Land Use Plan, including expansion of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) by 481 acres for commercial development on the north side of Northwestern Pike (Rt. 50). The Round Hill area includes land generally located north and south of Northwestern Pike (Rt. 50), west of Route 37, and east of Crinoline Lane, in both the Gainesboro and Back Creek Magisterial Districts. Action — Recommended Approval Commissioner Mohn said lie would abstain from all discussion and voting on this request, due to a potential conflict of interest. Planning Director, Eric R. Lawrence, reported that the Planning Commission last reviewed this item in May of 2007 as a public hearing. He said action was deferred because the Board of Supervisors wanted an opportunity to make an additional review before it proceeded through the public hearing process. Mr. Lawrence next provided some history of the Round Hill Land Use Plan. He noted that through the Comprehensive Policy Plan Amendment (CPPA) process, the applicant requested a 370 -acre addition to the Round Hill Community Land Use Plan. Upon review, the Comprehensive Policy Plan Subcommittee (CPPS) recommended that the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) be expanded by an additional 481 acres, all on the north side of Route 50. Mr. Lawrence explained that inclusion of the 481 acres into the SWSA, but not within the Urban Development Area (UDA), provides support for commercial opportunities while discouraging residential development. In addition to viewing this area strictly for commercial opportunities, Mr. Lawrence pointed out its location adjacent to the medical center and advised that various types of medical -related uses would be most appropriate at this location. Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of October 17, 2007 Page 2131 Mr. Lawrence next proceeded to review the planned transportation system for this area. He noted just one new major intersection on Route 50 and an east -west collector road system which continues Petticoat Lane directly behind the Walmart and essentially runs parallel to Route 50. He commented that the manor roads would need to be addressed during the rezoning stage and implemented to facilitate transportation within the expanded area. Mr. Lawrence noted that VDOT has some initial concern about the traffic impacts. The Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) associated with future rezoning applications will identify where the impacts are and it will be the responsibility of the applicants to mitigate the impacts. In addition, Mr. Lawrence pointed out a proposed road on the southern end of the study area which will minimize entrances directly onto Route 50, as future development occurs in the southern side of the study area. He noted the signalized intersections at Round Hill Road, Botanical Road, and Round Hill Crossing. He commented there was no support for any additional signalized intersections in this area. Mr. Lawrence continued, stating that when this request was initially brought forward, the applicant was seeking expansion for the Lutheran Home. Although high-density residential use would not be appropriate for this area, the feeling is that the retirement community could be accommodated as a medical service use. Commissioner Morris reiterated the staff's comments concerning the expectation that future development will pay for and mitigate transportation impacts, requirements, and design standards. There was discussion on how those costs would be apportioned and when commitments would be made. Commissioner Oates recommended extending Retail Boulevard further to the north instead of tying it into a "T" intersection. He thought it would be important to show that route now and if the opportunity comes about to tie into the interchange at the hospital, it would allow an extension to the west. Chairman Wilmot called for public comments and the following person came forward to speak: Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, with Greenway Engineering, said he was representing the Silver Lakes property. Mr. Wyatt said their initial questions centered on the statement, "... the provision of services prior to rezoning." He said it was clear through the Commission's discussions, however, that those commitments come during the rezoning, but prior to development. Mr. Wyatt next referred to Page 3 of the red -lined attachment in the agenda regarding the design principles for the Round Hill corridor. Mr. Wyatt said the language appeared to be ordinance -type language and he suggested that the word "encouraged" be used instead of specific footages and heights. He questioned whether the proposed policy language complimented the sign ordinance regulations currently being studied and revised by subconnmittee. He gave as an example the entrance feature at the Snowden Bridge project; he said they've received numerous compliments on its appearance, but he was not sure a similar monument -style sign would meet the design standards of the Round Hill Land Use Plan. Mr. Wyatt encouraged the Commission to entitle Figure 13A, "Principles Encouraged for the Round Hill/ Route 50 Corridor Area." In addition, Mr. Wyatt referred to Page 4, Paragraph 4, wider Transportation, referencing the new north -south major collector road. He said the last sentence basically states that the location shown on the plan is general with the precise location remaining flexible. Mr. Wyatt understood this sentence to mean that a road to facilitate traffic movement to the north is needed, whether it's Retail Drive extended or Botanical Drive extended, and he agreed with the language. He noted, however, that this same language was not attached to the third paragraph for the east -west collector. He understood that the Commission was seeking a parallel road to Route 50 for many reasons, including access management; however, if the road needed a slight curvature because of topography, he thought it would behoove the Commission to be redundant with the sentence used for the north - south collector. Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of October 17, 2007 Page 2132 WZ No one else wished to speak and Chairman Wilmot closed the public comment portion of the hearing. Commission members next discussed the language issues raised by Mr. Wyatt. Commissioner Kriz believed the title, "design principles," emphasized strong guidelines, whereas the words, "design standards," were more concrete. He did not agree with using the word, "encouraged." Commissioner Kriz agreed with taking out some of the specifics, but he believed the language should be clear and not watered down, so everyone understands there are particular objectives that need to be accomplished. He said the CPPS wanted to make sure this was understood for this particular area. Cominissioner Thomas said there were some conflicts between what is being proposed in the draft sign ordinance and specifics within the design principles for the Round Hill Land Use Plan. He was concerned about future debates on semantics between the design principles in the Comprehensive Policy Plan and the requirements in the zoning ordinance. Planning Director, Eric R. Lawrence, cornmented that the title of the Design Principles Table, as well as the sign dimensions, are taken from the original 1994 land use plan. He said these principles have been effective for 15 years and were utilized for the development of the hospital and Walmart. Mr. Lawrence said the staff would suggest that it remain within the land use plan and when a request comes through, to evaluate whether the ordinance is appropriate or if a little more assistance through the design elements of a proffer is needed. Commissioner Oates wanted to clarify his previous statement regarding the need to facilitate traffic movement to the north. He said he was looking for both Retail Drive and Botanical Drive to be extended to the north, not just Retail Drive or Botanical Drive. Commissioner Oates believed it was important to have the roads extended to the north in order to initiate a grid and eventually, an east -west collector road off of the hospital interchange to tie into it. Cornrnission members supported the concept for a total of three roads to be planned for the north -south alignment that could link Routes 522, 50, and 37 areas. Commissioner Kriz made a motion to adopt the SWSA expansion request for the Round Hill Community Center with the condition that the Commission's desire for road extensions to the north is presented to the Board of Supervisors at their public hearing. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Morris and unanimously passed. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Frederick County Planning Conunission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of the revised Round Hill Comunmiity Land Use Plan, including expansion of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) by 481 acres for commercial development on the north side of Northwestern Pike (Rt. 50), with the concept for three roads to be planned for the north -south alignment that could link the Routes 522, 50, and 37 areas.

Existing entrance is adequate for proposed use. However, brush and foliage need to be cut to obtain required sight distance. Failure to do so may mean the loss of commercial entrance privilege. Should use ever expand in the future, the entrance may have to be upgraded to VDOT commercial standards. Frederick County Fire Marshall: Plan approval recommended.

Planning and Zoning: The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance allows for the mining of sand in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District with an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP). This property is subject to the conditions of CUP #005-88, approved by the Frederick County Board of Supervisors on May 10, 1989. Currently, this operation has been permitted and licensed by the Division of Mineral Mining (DMM), part of the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy and meets all of the requirements of this agency. All of the mining operations will be conducted on 17 acres of a 174 acre parcel approximately 300 feet or more from any adjoining properties. The applicant is requesting to amend CUP #005-88, by deleting the following conditions: 1. This is a five-year permit to be reviewed annually by the staff, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. 2. If the use, occupancy or ownership of the property changes, this conditional use permit shall expire and a new conditional use permit will be required CUP 406-07, Mundy Sand, LLC November 1, 2007 Page 3 The above -referenced conditions are no longer required by Frederick County for Conditional Use Permits (CUP). STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 10/03/07 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: Should the Planning Commission find this use appropriate, Staff would recommend the following conditions: 1. All review agency comments and the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance requirements shall be complied with at all times. 2. The mining operation shall meet all requirements of the Virginia Department of Mineral Mining, along with sediment, erosion, runoff and spillage controls needed to allow the setback from Gravel Springs Run to be placed at 50 feet. The mining operation shall meet the landscaping and screening performance standards; supplementary regulations; height, area and bulk regulations; and site plan requirements contained in the requirements for the EM (Extractive Manufacturing) District. 4. Mining shall be limited to the 17.191 acre area described on the provided plat. 5.

No Sunday operations. 7. The Zoning Administrator may require enclosure of crusher, if adverse impact occurs. S. Wash water from sand washing shall be filtered before entering surface water. 9. Only portable crushers are to be used on site. PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY AND ACTION OF THE 10/17/07 MEETING: Six adjoining and/or nearby residents came forward to express their concerns and opposition to the renewal of sand mine operations on this site. They reported no recent activity on this site and the renewal of sand mining operations would negatively affect their quality of life. They expressed concern about noise and dust from trucks and earth -moving equipment five days a week. One resident reported the crusher running until dark and sand being hauled on Sundays CUP #06-07, Mundy Sand, LLC November 1, 2007 Page 4 during the previous operation. They said Brill Road was not wide enough for a dump truck and another vehicle or school bus to pass each other and the trucks will inevitably be running up on homeowners' lawns. One resident on Brill Road was worried about increased water runoff on her property. In addition, residents cited increased traffic and speeding as a cause for concern for the safety of neighborhood children. One resident along South Pifer Road operated an equine breeding business and she Was concerned about her safety taking animals back and forth across the road; she said her home was only 15-20 feet from the road. Another resident described older homes as little as four feet from the road. One resident suggested the possibility of constructing a separate truck access from the Brill property to Route 55. The applicant's representative, Mr. Benjamin M. Butler, Esq., said this request is not to expand an existing CUP, but is simply a continuation of the existing operation. Mr. Butler did not believe there would be excessive truck traffic and he requested that Mundy Sand be given the opportunity to operate under the existing CUP. He noted that VDOT comments had been favorable and they would comply with their requests. The Planning Commission considered additional and/or more specific conditions that could be placed on the CUP, possibly restricting the number of trucks per day, widening Brill Road, and limiting the hours of operation, to help alleviate some of the concerns of the adjoining property owners. Commission members recognized that Mundy Sand was a reputable company and that the proposed operation was a valuable and needed industry. However, they did not believe the road was safe for a daily operation in its existing condition. Mr. Butler requested that the Planning Commission table the applicant's CUP request to allow the applicant time to address the concerns raised by the area residents and the Commission. By a unanimous vote, the Planning Commission tabled the CUP for 45 days to allow the applicant the opportunity to address the concerns raised by the neighborhood residents and the Commission. (Note: Commissioners Watt and Light were absent from the meeting.) STAFF UPDATE FOR 12/05/07 PLANNING COMMISSON MEETING: Staff and the applicant have met with representatives from VDOT and the neighborhood residents to address concerns raised at the October 17, 2007, Planning Commission meeting. VDOT does not believe a traffic count is warranted and has no concerns with truck traffic associated with this proposed use using Brill Road, Pifer Road, or Star Tannery Road. The applicant is willing to add a condition to this Conditional Use Permit and it is noted as Condition 11 below. Staff conclusions remain consistent with what has previously been offered to the Planning Commission. CUP #06-07, Mundy Sand, LLC November 1, 2007 Page 5 1. All review agency comments and the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance requirements shall be complied with at all times. 2.

MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN #11-07 GLENDOBBIN Staff Report for the Planning Commission Prepared: November 14, 2007 Staff Contact: Candice E. Perkins, AICP, Senior Planner This report is prepared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide information to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to assist in the review of this application. It may also be useful to others interested in this zoning matter. Reviewed Planning Commission: 12/05/07 Board of Supervisors: 01/09/08 Action Pending Pending LOCATION: The subject properties are located south and adjacent to Glendobbin Road (Route 673) approximately 3,250 feet west of the intersection of Glendobbin Road and Payne Road (Route 603). MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Stonewall PROPERTY ID NUMBER(s): 43 -A -15B, 43-19-57 and 43-A-16 PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE: Zoned: RP (Residential Performance), M1 (Light Industrial) and RA (Rural Areas) Use: Undeveloped ZONING & PRESENT USE OF ADJOINING PROPERTIES: North: RA (Rural Area) Use: Orchard South: RA (Rural Area) Use: Agriculture East: M1 (Light Industrial) Use: Industrial & Vacant RA (Rural Areas) Use: Orchard West: RA (Rural Area) Use: Residential PROPOSED USE: 30 Single Family Detached Homes MDP #11-07, Glendobbin November 14, 2007 Page 2 REVIEW EVALUATIONS: Virginia Department of Transportation: The preliminary master plan for the subject property is acceptable to VDOT. It appears to have a measurable impact on Route 673, the VDOT facility which would provide access to the property. Before making any final comments, this office will require a complete set of site plans, drainage calculations and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right-of-way needs, including right-of-way dedications, traffic signalization, and off-site roadway improvements and drainage. Prior to construction on the State's right-of-way, the developer will need to apply to this office for issuance of appropriate permits to cover said work. Frederick County Fire Marshal: Plan approval recommended. Frederick County Public Works: The revised MDP for the Glendobbin Subdivision received on August 27, 2007 has adequately addressed our previous review comments. Frederick County Inspections Department: Demolition permit if removing structures. No additional comments required at this time. Frederick -Winchester Service Authority: No comments. Frederick County Sanitation Authority: 1 st review. Approved. Frederick -County -Winchester Health Department: The property owner and applicant shall be responsible to identify and report any existing wells or septics within 200 feet of the project that may be impacted prior to construction. The Health Dept. has no objection as long as no ex. Wells or septics exist and the FCSA's public water and sewer are utilized as stated on page 1 of the submitted plans by PHR&A. GIS Department: Sunflower Drive is not currently being used. Parks & Recreation: The monetary proffer offered for this development does not appear to be consistent with the impact its residents will have on the capital needs of the County Parks and Recreation Department. Staff would suggest the Impact Model recommendation for single family units be considered when determining an appropriate monetary proffer. Winchester Regional Airport: We have reviewed the proposed master development plan and determined that the proposed development will not have an impact on operations at the Winchester Regional Airport. While the proposed site lies within the airport's airspace, it does fall outside of the airport's Part 77 close in surfaces. Frederick County Public Schools: Based on the information provided, it is anticipated that the proposed 30 single family detached homes will yield 5 high school students, 4 middle school students and 7 elementary school students for a total of 16 new students upon build -out. This project alone will not have a large impact on the school division, but significant residential growth in Frederick County MDP #11-07, Glendobbin November 14, 2007 Page 3 has resulted in the schools serving this area having student enrollments nearing or exceeding the practical capacity for a school. The cumulative impact of this project and others of similar nature, coupled with the number of approved, undeveloped residential lots in the area, will necessitate the future construction of new schools facilities to accommodate increased student enrollments. The impact of this master development plan on current and future school needs should be considered during the approval process. Planning & Zonin6: A) Master Development Plan Requirement A master development plan is required prior to development of this property. Before a master development plan can be approved, it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, Board of Supervisors and all relevant review agencies. Approval may only be granted if the master development plan conforms to all requirements of the Frederick County Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The purpose of the master development plan is to promote orderly and planned development of property within Frederick County that suits the characteristics of the land, is harmonious with adjoining property and is in the best interest of the general public. B) Location The subject properties are located south and adjacent to Glendobbin Road (Route 673) approximately 3,250 feet west of the intersection of Glendobbin Road and Payne Road (Route 603). C) Site History The original Frederick County zoning map (U.S.G.S. Winchester Quadrangle) identifies parcels 43 -A -15B and 43-A-16 as being zoned R-3 (Residential General). Parcels 43-A-1513 and 43-A- 16 were re -mapped from R-3 to A-2 (Agricultural General) pursuant to the County's comprehensive downzoning initiative (Zoning Amendment Petition #011-80), which was adopted on October 8, 1980. The County's agricultural zoning districts were subsequently combined to form the RA (Rural Areas) District upon adoption of an amendment to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 1989. The corresponding revision of the zoning map resulted in the re -mapping of the subject properties and all other A-1 and A-2 zoned land to the RA District. D) Site Suitability & Project Scope Comprehensive Policy Plan: The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County. [Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 1-1] Land Use Compatibility: The site is not within any small area land use plans in the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The site has no land use designation on the Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan. MDP #11-07, Glendobbin November 14, 2007 Page 4 Parcels 43-A-1513 and 43-19-57 are both within the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA), parcel 43-A-16, which is a rural preservation parcel, is outside of the UDA and SWSA. Transportation The Frederick County Eastern Road. Plan provides the guidance regarding future arterial and collector road connections in the eastern portion of the County by identifying needed connections and locations. Plans for new development should provide for the right-of-ways necessary to implement planned road improvements, and new roads shown on the road plan should be constructed by the developer when warranted by the scale, intensity, or impacts of the development. Existing roads should be improved as necessary by adjacent development to implement the intentions of the plan (Comprehensive Plan 7-6). The future Route 37 is a road improvement need that is identified in the County's Eastern Road Plan. With the rezoning for this development, the applicant proffered to provide right-of-way for Route 37 as shown on the Generalized Development Plan from the rezoning as well as indicated on the MDP. The applicant is proposing one public entrance for all 30 lots in this development. The new road entrance (Sunflower Drive) would be located on Glendobbin Road. Proffers — 5) Proffer Statement — Dated June 27, 2006 A copy of proffers has been included in the agenda. Proffers Applicable to Tax Map Parcel 43 -A -15B A) Generalized Development Plan The applicant has proffered a Generalized Development Plan (GDP) dated June 23, 2006, and revised June 27, 2006. B) Land Use The development will be limited to a maximum of 30 single family detached dwelling units on lots a minimum of 30,000 square feet. No dwelling units will be permitted within 200 feet of any adjacent active orchard or within 100 feet of any adjacent agricultural uses in the two locations shown on the GDP. C) Transportation The applicant will dedicate land for the right-of-way for future Route 37 on the parcel proposed for rezoning. The applicant will contribute $300.00 per dwelling unit for future improvements of the intersection of Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) and Welltown Road (Route 661). D) Monetary Contribution A monetary contribution in the amount of $10,206.00 to Frederick County, to b� MDP 411-07, Glendobbin November 14, 2007 Page 5 provided at the time of building permit issuance, is proffered in an effort to mitigate the impacts associated with this development on community facilities. A transportation contribution (see above) has also been proffered. E) Environment The applicant has proffered Best Management Practices (BMP) for stormwater management. Proffers Applicable to Tax Map Parcel 43-A-16 (Preservation Parcel) A) Subdivision Future subdivision of Tax Map Parcel 43-A-16 shall be prohibited except for any subdivision necessary to dedicate right-of-way for future Route 37. B) Transportation The applicant will dedicate land for the right-of-way for future Route 37. Proffers Applicable to Tax Map Parcel 43-19-57 Parcel zoned Ml A) Transportation The applicant will dedicate land for the right-of-way for future Route 37. Waivers The Frederick County Subdivision Ordinance states that "culs-de-sac, permanently designed as such shall not exceed 1,000 feet in length. The Planning Commission may waive this requirement in cases where extreme topography or other factors make it impractical. In no case shall the street serve more than 25 lots". As stated during the rezoning for this property, the cul- de-sac shown for this development is 2,400 feet long. A waiver of §144-17G(1) is needed from the Planning Commission in order for this development to be constructed as shown on the proffered GDP and the MDP. The cul-de-sac length waiver is a Planning Commission waiver only, no action from the Board of Supervisors is required for this waiver. Also, since this development is proposing 30 lots on one cul-de-sac, the applicant needs a waiver of §144-17G(1) from the Board of Supervisors for the five additional lots. A recommendation to the Board of Supervisors from the Planning Commission is needed. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 12/05/07 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The master development plan for the Glendobbin Development depicts appropriate land uses and appears to be consistent with the requirements of Article XVII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning Ordinance. With the exception of the necessary waivers, this preliminary Master Development Plan is in a form that is administratively approvable. The MDP is in accordance with the proffers for Rezoning #17-05, including the proffered GDP. All of the issues brought forth by the Planning Commission should be appropriately addressed prior to a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Three actions are needed from the Planning Commission for this MDP: a decision on the cul-de-sac MDP 411-07, Glendobbin November 14, 2007 Page 6 length waiver is needed, a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for the number of lots on the cul-de-sac and a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on the MDP. Following the Planning Commission discussion, it would be appropriate to forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors regarding this MDP conformance with County codes and review agency comments. All issues and concerns raised by the Planning Commission will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration. Staff is ultimately seeking administrative approval authority of the Master Development Plan once all issues have been addressed 42 A 356 KSS LC LDSIDE DR , N A `� A3 �SS� G 431? 3 ,KSS LC Js Q N co v M U N J e� y 43 A 10A BE CON INCORPORATED r v Y M 1 N (/) a Q VIP 43 A 11 B� q BHS LC 0. eee $g1NV-9 "�.m 4� " m pie �i��� ®,.���'�"•� o �-0 40 ��e� ,� �e 43 A 15 MCKOWN BETTY G. <° Q 0� 1 43 19 51 TOAN & ASSOCIATES LC �pq I f i O'�G .

The submitted master development plan dated October 29, 2007 is acceptable. Before making any final comments, this office will require a complete set of site plans, drainage calculations and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right-of-way needs, including right-of-way dedications, traffic signalization, and off-site roadway improvements and drainage. Prior to construction on the State's right-of-way, the developer will need to apply to this office for issuance of appropriate permits to cover said work. Frederick County Fire Marshal: Plan approval recommended. Frederick County Public Works: Your letter dated October 17, 2007 has addressed all of our previous comments outlined in our letter of September 18, 2007. Consequently, we grant our final approval of the revised master development plan. Frederick County Inspections Department: No comment required at this time. Frederick County Sanitation Authority: 1St review —approved. GIS Department: No additional road names are required at this time. Structure numbering will be assigned during the permit and construction phase of development. Winchester Regional Airport: We have reviewed the proposed master development plan and determined that the proposed development plan will not have an impact on operations at the Winchester Regional Airport. While the proposed site lies within the airport's airspace, it does fall outside of the airport's Part 77 close in surfaces. Planning & Zoning: A) Master Development Plan Requirement A master development plan is required prior to development of this property. Before a master development plan can be approved, it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, Board of Supervisors and all relevant review agencies. Approval may only be granted if the master development plan conforms to all requirements of the Frederick County Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The purpose of the master development plan is to promote orderly and planned development of property within Frederick County that suits the characteristics of the land, is harmonious with adjoining property and is in the best interest of the general public. B) Location The subject properties are located on Route 7 at Getty Lane. C) Site History The original Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S.G.S. Winchester Quadrangle) identified these MDP #13-07, Winchester Gateway November 19, 2007 Page 3 properties as being zoned B2 (Business General). D) Site Suitabilill & Proiect Scope Comprehensive Policy Plan: The Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as the community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this plan is to protect and improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County. [Comprehensive Policy Plan, p. 1-1] Land Use Compatihility: The Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan shows this area with a commercial designation. The majority of this site was developed under Site Plans 914-05 and #57-05 for Winchester Gateway; these site plans were for the new commercial development that existing on the site. The existing and proposed uses with this development are in conformance with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Transportation The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Policy Plan shows a road connecting Route 7 to Regency Lakes Drive. Getty Lane, which is the existing road within the project, currently terminates on parcel 54 -A -99C. This Master Development shows the continuation of this road through the property and connecting with Regency Lakes Drive. Regency Lakes Drive will be modified to accommodate a 120 foot left turn lane into the new Getty Lane extension. The pavement for westbound Route 7 will be shifted to provide for a wider right turn lane onto Regency Lakes Drive. A 100 foot transition will also be added to westbound Route 7 for vehicles turning right onto Route 7 off of Regency Lakes Drive. Pro ers — There are no proffers associated with these properties Waivers This development is proposing to utilize private roads for access. The subdivision ordinance states that all lots must have state road frontage to be subdivided. In order for the proposed commercial lots on the Winchester Gateway property to be subdivided utilizing private roads, the Board of Supervisors would need to grant a waiver of §144-24C of the Frederick County Subdivision Ordinance. A recommendation to the Board of Supervisors from the Planning Commission is needed on this waiver request. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 12/05/07 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The master development plan for Winchester Gateway depicts appropriate land uses and appears to be consistent with the requirements of Article XVII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning Ordinance and this preliminary Master Development Plan is in a form that is administratively approvable. All of the issues brought forth by the Planning Commission should be appropriately addressed prior to a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Two actions are needed from the Planning MDP #13-07, Winchester Gateway November 19, 2007 Page 4 Commission for this MDP: a decision on private street waiver request and a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on the MDP. Following the Planning Commission discussion, it would be appropriate to forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors regarding this MDP conformance with County codes and review agency comments. All issues and concerns raised by the Planning Commission will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration. Staff is ultimately seeking administrative approval authority of the Master Development Plan once all issues have been addressed. — — ---- _ u. ..qy_w 1— iovI.inxa) IIIoituU( -- 1U:b8:35AM 'IMDP i& - 07 .-A Winchesf-ILateway .. �w S H0. i �4 3 oil _i ;woo cyw v rlov c7 .. �eR z io I cjv'VC N�DIA,K / t EERIiY'yILLE AVEC � Pi, IF heco" Wincster, A V _ DA v 4Vrv.E,9s - -,_.• ® SII Q°.

Ruddy, Deputy Director�:T DATE: November 16, 2007 RE: Discussion: 2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) On November 12, 2007, the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) met with County Department and Agency representatives to discuss their individual capital improvement project requests, including new projects and modifications to previous requests, associated with the 2008-2009 Capital improvements Plan (CIP). The role of the CPPS in the CIP process was to ensure that the various departmental project requests are in conformance with the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan. The evaluation and prioritization of departmental projects was presented by the individual County departments and agencies that also provided a projected cost for each project as required by the Code of Virginia. The CPPS discussion was thorough. Particular focus was once again afforded to the transportation requests and mechanisms available to projecting improvement costs and the implementation of the identified transportation improvements. Following the CPPS discussion, the CPPS endorsed the 2008-2009 CIP and endorsed its conformance with the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan. The CPPS forwarded the CIP to the Planning Commission for discussion. It is the role of the Planning Commission to affirm that the 2008-2009 CIP is in conformance with the Comprehensive Policy Plan. It is requested that the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors consider the proposed 2008-2009 Capital Improvements Plan as a discussion item prior to the CIP's advertisement for public hearing. This discussion will provide a valuable opportunity for the collective review of proposed capital projects while also allowing the Commission and Board the ability to determine if additional information or analysis is needed in advance of final consideration of the CIP. 197 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Planning Commission Discussion: 2008-2009 CIP November 16, 2007 Page 2 Please find attached with this agenda item: a summary of the proposed 2008-2009 CIP, information pertaining to new or modified departmental requests, and a draft copy of the proposed 2008-2009 CIP, which includes three maps illustrating the known locations of the CIP requests. If adopted, the CIP and included maps, will ultimately become a component of the Comprehensive Policy Plan, which would satisfy the review requirement of Section 15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia, which states that no public facility shall be constructed unless said facility is a "feature shown" within a jurisdiction's comprehensive plan. Please contact the Planning Department should you have any questions regarding this information. Attachments MTR/bad SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED 2008-2009 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS v The proposed CIP consists of 55 capital projects, a slight increase over the 54 projects included in the previous CIP. Of the 55 capital projects proposed, only four are new compared with seventeen in last years CIP. Parks and Recreation account for two, Winchester Regional Airport has one. Last year the Transportation Committee accounted for the majority of new requests as it was the first year they had provided capital projects for the CIP. • The following is a listing of the new project requests: • Four (4) new projects: o Parks and Recreation, Baseball field lighting at Sherando and Clearbrook Parks. o Parks and Recreation, Bike Trail Phase Il in the Sherando Park area. o Transportation, Interstate 81 Exit 307 Relocation. o Winchester Regional Airport, North side taxi way connector. • Public Schools, Parks & Recreation, County Administration, and Winchester Regional Airport have modified the details of a variety of their requests based upon updated thinking and changing conditions. Of particular note are the Public Schools modifications to the addition and renovation of Apple Pie Ridge and Bass Hoover Elementary Schools, This, in conjunction with the recently programmed 12th Elementary School, will enable the Public Schools to move to an all day Kindergarten program. Public Schools have also modified their CIP to reflect renovations to their administrative offices at their current Amherst Street location.

The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) consists of a schedule for major capital expenditures for the county for the ensuing five years. The CIP is updated annually. Projects are removed from the plans as they are completed or as priorities change. The plan is intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in preparation of the county budget. In addition to determining priorities for capital expenditures, the county must also ensure that projects contained within the CIP conform to the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Specifically, the projects are reviewed with considerations regarding health, safety, and the general welfare of the public. When the CIP is adopted, it becomes a component of the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The CIP is strictly advisory; it is intended for use as a capital facilities planning document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once adopted, project priorities may change throughout the year based on changing circumstances. It is also possible that particular projects may not be funded during the year that is indicated in the CIP. The status of any project becomes increasingly uncertain the further in the future it is projected. Transportation projects are included in the CIP for a second year. The 2007-2008 CIP included transportation projects for the first time. The reason for this change was that state code now allows for transportation projects to appear in the CIP. The addition of transportation projects to the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be independently undertaking these projects. Funding projects will continue to come from a combination of state and federal funds, developer contributions, and revenue sharing. PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS Frederick County Public Schools In an effort to maintain educational facilities that will handle the growing student population, the construction of two new elementary schools is recommended within the UDA (Urban Development Area). The 12th Elementary School has been removed from the CIP as it has recently been programmed. A new high school and a new middle school have also been requested in anticipation of the future demand of a growing student population. A number of school renovations and relocations are proposed, several of which are aimed at accommodating an all day Kindergarten program. The Public Schools top priority remains a new transportation facility. One of the most notable changes from last years CIP is a request to renovate and expand the current administration building on Amherst Street rather than relocating and renovating the current Frederick County Middle School. Parks & Recreation The majority of the recommended projects are planned for the county's two regional parks (Sherando & Clearbrook). Ten projects are planned for Sherando Park: upgrade of baseball lighting, upgrade pool amenities, maintenance compound and office, skateboard park, parking and multi-purpose fields with trail development, a softball complex, renovations to the existing baseball complex, a soccer complex, picnic area with a shelter, and an access road with parking and trails. There are currently five projects planned for the Clearbrook Park which include, upgrade of baseball lighting, upgrading pool amenities, a new open play area, a tennis/basketball complex, and shelter with an area for stage seating. The upgrade of pool amenities at the swimming pools at both parks will include the addition of water slides and a spray ground. The indoor aquatic facility is being proposed as a top priority of the Parks and Recreation Department for a third year in a row. Phase II of the Bike Trail project in the Sherando area has been added to the plan. The Parks and Recreation Department has proposed to acquire land in both the eastern and western portions of the county for the development of future regional park system. Both land acquisitions call for 150-200 acres of land to accommodate the recreational needs of the growing population. County Administration Modifications to two of the County's refuse convenience sites have been requested. The first request is that the current Gainesboro facility be moved because of health hazards the current site incurs. The other request is for the expansion/relocation of the Gore Refuse Site to allow for a trash compactor, which will reduce operational costs, by compacting trash before it reaches the landfill. 2 Fire & Rescue has requested two relocations of current fire stations in order to operate more efficiently. The top project for the County Administration is the creation of Fire & Rescue Station #22, with the ability to provide an annex facility for other county related offices. Transportation Committee This is the second year the Transportation Committee is providing project requests for the CIP. Virginia State Code allows for transportation projects to be included within a locality's CIP. Funding for transportation project requests will likely come from developers and revenue sharing. Implementation of transportation projects does not take away funding for generalized road improvements. The Transportation Committee has requested funding for twelve projects. The twelve requests include projects that entail widening of major roads; key extensions of roads that help provide better networks, and the addition of turn lanes at current unsafe intersections. The relocation of Interstate 81, Exit 307 is the only addition to this years CIP Winchester Regional Airport Several of the Airport requests were carried forward from last year. There are two requests to acquire additional parcels along Bufflick Road which are required to meet noise abatement requirements. Also carried over, is the request to renovate the terminal building, the request to construct a new airfield maintenance building, and a request to upgrade the airfield lighting system to enhance safety for aircraft use of the facility. Two additional requests address the rehabilitation of Runway 14/42 and a new north side Taxi way Connector. Funding for airport projects is derived through a complex formula where the federal and state governments contribute a majority of the funding, with Frederick County and the other jurisdictions providing the remaining funding. Handley Regional Library The Handley Regional Library has recommended four projects, consistent with their 2008-2009 request. The library's top priority is a parking lot expansion as well as improvements to sidewalk access at the Bowman Library. The parking lot expansion would accommodate 121 more parking than what is currently available. The library wishes to extend the sidewalks to serve residents traveling from the east to Lakeside Drive.

Construction Schedule: TBD COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Bevelopment 540/665-5651 FA x : 540/665-6395 To: Frederick County Planning Commission From: Candice E. Perkins, AICP, Senior Planner^ Subject: Planning Commission Discussion - Sign Ordinance Date: November 19, 2007 Over the past year, the County has been evaluating potential areas within the County's sign ordinance that warrant enhancements. The County's Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) endorsed changes to the Sign Ordinance (§165-30 of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance) during its meeting of January 25, 2007. The changes were presented to, and received mixed reviews from, various community organizations through Spring 07 and early summer. The participating groups included: the Industrial Parks Association. the local Petroleum Industry, the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber, and the Top of Virginia Builders Association. In response to the various organizations' concerns, a Sign Ordinance Work Group was formed. The work group was comprised of representatives from various community interest groups that were selected by and coordinated through the Chamber of Commerce as well as members from the DRRS. The Sign Ordinance Working Group was tasked with reviewing the ordinance which was developed by the DRRS and revising the ordinance so that all parties were more comfortable with the proposed changes. The DRRS endorsed the Sign Ordinance Work Group's changes at their meeting on October 25, 2007. There are numerous proposed changes to the existing sign ordinance as evident by the attached documents. Some of the major changes include the types of signs which will be allowed in certain districts, sign heights, sign sizes, as well as the number of signs proposed. In regards to allowed signage in certain districts, the main change is the addition of electronic message signs which will have restricted timing and size. Sign size and height is proposed to be regulated by road classification: arterial roads, collector roads and all other roads. Freestanding signage continues to be monument style. The attached documents show the existing ordinances, the changes to the ordinance supported by the DRRS (with strikethroughs for text eliminated and bold red italic for text added) and a clean 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Wincheste-r, Virginia 22601-5000 version of the proposed text as it is proposed to be adopted. This item is presented for discussion. Comments and suggestions horn the Planning Commission will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors. Attachments: 1. Existing ordinances 2.
