CITIZEN COMMENTS
Chairman DeHaven reminded everyone about the educational forum on regional transportation,
sponsored by the Community Consensus Coalition (CCC), scheduled for Thursday, August 25, 2005, at 7:00
p.m. at the Our Health Conference Room. Chairman DeHaven encouraged everyone to participate.
PUBLIC MEETING
Continuation of Master Development Plan 907-05 of Stephenson Village, submitted by Greenway
Engineering, for residential -planned community use. The properties are located on the south side of Old
Charles Town Road (Rt. 761) and Jordan Springs Road (Rt. 664), and are located east of Milburn Road
(Rt. 662). The properties are further identified with P.I.N.s 44-A-292, 44-A-293, and 44 -A -31A in the
Stonewall Magisterial District.
Action — Recommended Approval with Contingency
Chairman DeHaven announced that this item is a continuation of Master Development Plan #07-
05 of Stephenson Village from the Planning Commission's meeting of July 20, 2005. He said this item had to be
continued, due to the adjournment requirements of the Commission's By -Laws at the July 20, 2005 meeting.
Chairman DeHaven stated the meeting was adjourned with a motion to table on the floor.
Commissioner Gochenour withdrew her motion to table in order to continue the discussion.
There were no objections and Chairman DeHaven granted Commissioner Gochenour's request.
Chairman DeHaven called for any citizen who wished to speak concerning this master plan.
Mr. Gary Oates, a resident of the Stonewall District, said that he spoke in opposition, at the
Commission's July 20, 2005 meeting, to any change in the approved alignment of Route 37 because he built his
home based on the alignment approved by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Oates said that he was the only citizen
present to speak at die Commission's July 20 meeting; however, other citizens were present this evening to speak.
Mr. Standish Parker Kugler, a resident at 335 Marquis Court, said that heand his wife moved to
this area in 1999 to their retirement home. Mr. Kugler said that he purchased his home and property based on the
information he was provided with in 1999 from the County offices regarding the proposed path for Route 3 7. He
said that since that time, they have purchased additional acreage and have made improvements to their property.
He said he was alarmed upon hearing that the proposed alignment for Route 37 may change, which would affect
his home. Mr. Kugler asked the Commission not approve this new alignment.
Mr. Benue Shwartzman, a resident at 1105 Red Bud Road, was also concerned about any
realignment of Route 3 7. Mr. Shwartzman thought it was presumptuous of the developers to attempt to move the
Route 3 7 corridor depicted in the Comprehensive Policy Plan because it would affect numerous residences along
Red Bud Road.
Chairman DeHaven announced that while there had been some behind -the -scenes discussion of
realignments, there has not been a study or a public discussion of any realignment for Route 37.
Mr. Allen Jobe, a resident at 230 Milburn Road; asked for clarification on what the Commission
Frederick County Planning Commission Page 1587
Minutes of August 17, 2005 d
was being asked to do regarding this application and Route 37.
Mr. Bob Boden was opposed to any realignment of Route 37 from what was approved by the
Board of Supervisors in 1999. Mr. Boden, a realtor, said that real estate listings %gill be affected if this
realignment issue is raised again and property values will be impacted. He asked the Commission to consider the
long-time residents and their property values as opposed to increasing the profit margin of a developer.
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, with Greenway Engineering, the design -engineering firm representing
Brookfield Homes and Stephenson Associates in this master development plan (MDP), believed that the
applicants have addressed, either through plan revisions or other methods, all of the issues identified by the staff
with the exception of the staff's desire for the applicant to show the Route 37 location through the project site.
Mr. Wyatt said that the applicant still contends that the MDP proposed is in compliance with the proffer and the
generalized development plan (GDP) that was approved with the rezoning in 2003. Mr. Wyatt pointed out that
the projected corridor alignment referred to as Alternative C does, indeed, go through the area they have identified
for Land Bay 3 A. Mr. Wyatt said that they would be willing to add a narrative to the MDP recognizing that based
on what was approved in the rezoning, they are in compliance; however, the applicant would be willing to offer
the community up to an additional 12 months to consider a realignment issue and would commit not to develop
within the Phase I area that falls within this corridor until such time as either the 12 -month window has gone by or
another agreed-upon date.
Commissioner Light suggested that Mr. Wyatt seek a Comprehensive Policy Plan amendment, if
he desired to move Route 37, Alternative C, out of this project. Mr. Wyatt replied that Route 37, Alternative C,
was not on the plan submitted by the applicant for agency review and comments, nor does the MDP show it. Mr.
Wyatt said the reason it does not show it is that during the rezoning process, the Route 37 Corridor was not an
element of the transportation proffer, in either the form of dedicated right-of-way or construction. Furthermore,
the GDP that was approved for the Stephenson Village project, which is a legislative document by the Board of
Supervisors, only required the applicant to provide for the major collector road, which goes from Old Charlestown
Road through this property and ultimately, through the Omps' property to Route 11.
Commissioner Light asked the staff if Route 37 was in the Northeast Land Use Plan of the
Comprehensive Policy Plan, if it was in the WAT Study, and if it was in the Eastern Transportation Road Plan. In
addition, he inquired if the applicant was violating the Comprehensive Plan by taking Rt. 3 7 out of the MDP.
Planning Staff member, Mr. Bernard Suchicital, confirmed that Route 37 was included in all of the documents
mentioned by Commissioner Light and at this time, the application was not in compliance with the
Comprehensive Policy Plan.
Commissioner Light agreed this application was not in compliance with the Comprehensive
Policy Plan. Commissioner Light argued that this applicant went through the process knowing the status of Route
37, Alternative C; he said that everyone knew this, including the purchasers. He added that if this MDP is
approved as presented, then the County has essentially removed the north -end portion of Route 37 because there
is no other VDOT representation of any other area. Mr. Wyatt said that if a project gets approved without
elementsof the Comprehensive Plan that are recommended, then that is the way the project is approved. Mr.
Wyatt contended that the applicant is not required to construct Route 37.
Mr. John Goode spoke next, explaining that he was involved in the rezoning process for this
property. Mr. Goode said that back in the year 2000, when this property was depicted in the Comprehensive
Policy Plan as industrial, both he and Mr. Donald Shockey met with VDOT because they were concerned how
Route 37 might impact their plans for the property. He said that at that time, VDOT had no funding available and
DO funding was in sight for Route 37. Mr. Goode said that subsequently in 2001. their rezoning request, which
Frederick County Planning Commission
Page 1588
Minutes of August 17, 2005
D
was in conformity with the Comprehensive Policy Plan, was turned down. W. Goode said this current R4 plan
calls for a Comprehensive Policy Plan road, which they are going to construct, however, nothing is in the plan
about Route 37; Mr. Goode suggested they may not have been granted approval had Route 37 been depicted in
their plan at the time. Mr. Goode said that no one knows for certain whether Route 37 will have funding. Mr.
Goode contended that in 2001, when their industrial zoning was turned down, they learned that a rezoning and the
ordinance took a higher authority than the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Mr. Goode said that they have a rezoning
which does not have Route 37 in it; that is not what the applicant had promised, and they were not going to place
something on their plan that, in affect, they left off in the entire year-long process.
Commissioner Morris next asked for clarification on one of the staff's issues concerning the
major collector road. Commissioner Morris asked the staff if the bicycle path would be included in VDOT's
right-of-way. Planning Director, Eric R Lawrence, stated that staff identified the bicycle path as an issue because
they did not find the graphics on the initial master plan submission. Mr. Lawrence said that since that initial
submission, staff has determined that a bicycle lane would be on each side of the major collector road; a sidewalk
or walking trail will be provided outside of the right-of-way.
Returning to the subject of Route 37, Commissioner Thomas said that he did not recall the
planned Route 37 location being an issue during either of the rezoning discussions for this property. He said he
was surprised to see it in the staff's report; he thought Comprehensive Plan issues were more appropriately dealt
with at rezoning. Mr. Lawrence raised two points to be considered: He said that when this rezoning was being
considered, the County was concurrently evaluating expansion of the UDA (Urban Development Area)
modifications to the Northeast Land Use Plan. He said that through that land use exercise, the resulting plan was
an expansion of the UDA, introducing the opportunity for residential rezoning. He said Route 37 was preserved
on the Northeast Land Use Plan, which is in the Comprehensive Policy Plan today; therefore, the corridor was
always in the plan, even following the land use study exercise. Mr. Lawrence's second point was that through the
R4 (Residential Planned Community) District rezoning of the property, the applicant asked to defer the master
development plan (MDP) until a future date. Essentially, in lieu of the MDP associated with rezoning, the
applicant offered a GDP (Generalized Development Plan) showing land bay areas and proffered elements and
when the MDP was submitted, it would depict how the whole property was laid out. Mr. Lawrence said that
according to Code definition, the applicant is required to show all of the roads, the environmental areas, and all of
the details of the project on the MDP.
Commissioner Thomas replied that he understood the process; however, he was concerned that
the process could have proceeded to this point without having at least something in the record that would have
stated that Alternative C for Route 37 would need to be included. Commissioner Thomas recalled there being a
time when Route 37 was totally taken off the table. Mr. Lawrence said the only change in Route 37 in the last 12
years was that it was not on the funding list in the Primary Road Plan for a year; he said it has always been in the
Comprehensive Policy Plan, the Eastern Road Plan, the WATS Plan, and it is still in the MPO (Metropolitan
Planning Organization) Plan.
Commissioner Light asked the Commission's legal counsel if the Planning Commission should
accept a master plan which does not show Route 37. Mr. Lawrence Ambrogi, the Planning Commission's legal
counsel, stated that in his opinion, the Commission does not have to accept the MDP; he believed the Commission
had the right to require that something of this magnitude be shown and be precise. Mr. Ambrogi said that the
Comprehensive Policy Plan is a very strong guide that should be followed as closely as possible and although the
rezoning does prevail, a major factor in this MDP is missing.

Other Commission members had questions about the status of Route 37 and the possible
outcome for considering this MDP without Route 3 7. Mr. Lawrence stated that if the County wants Route 3 7 in
the Comprehensive Policy Plan, the County needs to determine its corridor and hold firm. Specifically, if
Alternative C is the adopted corridor, the County needs to hold firm to that position until a new location is
identifi,.d. Mr. Lawrence said that if Route 37 is not on the MDP, then it won't be shown throughout the
subdivision process and the corridor will not be reserved and protected for future use.
Considering all that had been discussed, Commissioner Light moved to deny the MDP; however,
this motion died due to the lack of a second to the motion.
Commission members believed that the MDP needed to meet Comprehensive Policy Plan
requirements before it goes any further; however, other members questioned how the applicant's plan could have
proceeded to this point without Route 3 7. They pointed out that this MDP is in conformance with the Board of
Supervisors' rezoning, with the guidance that was given at the time, and the proffers.
Commissioner Thomas next made a motion to recommend approval of MDP #07-05 with the
developer's offer to work with the community for at least the next 12 months to confirm the location ofRoute 37
during this time frame. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Kriz,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby recommend approval of
Master Development Plan 907-05 of Stephenson Village, submitted by Greenway Engineering, for residential -
planned community use with acceptance of the developer's offer to work with the community for at least the next
12 months to confirm the location of Route 37 during this time frame.
YES (TO REC. APPROVAL): Straub, Morris, Thomas, Ours, Kriz, Triplett,
NO: Watt, Unger, Light, DeHaven
ABSTAIN: Gochenour
(Note: Commissioners Manuel and Wilmot were absent from the meeting.)
A request for a Subdivision Exception is being sought by Artz & Associates, on behalf of Deborah Dorman
Dutcher, property owner, regarding Section 144-31.13.1 of the Frederick County Code. Under Section
144-5, the applicant is requesting an exception to the provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the
existing Dutcher property to be further subdivided, and reduce the existing 74% Rural Preservation Lot
to 40% of the original parcel. The subject property, zoned RA (Rural Areas) District, is located at the
intersection of Dover Lane and Chapel Road, approximately 100 feet west of the Route 627 intersection
with Route 758. The property is further identified with P.I.N. 83-A-106 in the Back Creek Magisterial
District.
Action — Recommended Denial
Zoning and Subdivision Administrator, Mark R Cheran, reported that the recorded plat for this
rural preservation subdivision shows 58 acres being the rural preservation tract; this plat was recorded June 16,
Frederick County Planning Commission Page 1590
Minutes of August 17, 2005
Q.
1992 with Lot 4 being identified as the rural preservation tract of a rural preservation subdivision, approved by
Frederick County on June 3, 1992. He said that by Code, the preservation tract must stay intact, and cannot be
changed through any land use applications. Mr. Cheran said the applicant submitted they were unaware of the
ordinance provision prohibiting future division of this parcel and are seeking the Board's permission, via an
exception, to reduce the 74% parcel to 40%, the minimum size requirement for a preservation parcel. He said that
such a Board action would enable the creation of additional lots, but in no case would it exceed the density of the
parent tract. Mr. Cheran stated that the staff contends that once the preservation parcel has been established, it
may not be further subdivided without appropriate rezoning approval. Mr. Cheran stated that the Board of
Supervisors may grant the requested exception, if the applicant is able to illustrate the 74% preservation tract was
done in error.
Commissioner Ours stated that the zoning ordinance seems to be ambiguous and might be
interpreted in two ways. He suggested that it could be interpreted to mean that something could be done further
with the original land set in preservation as long as it didn't affect the original tract.
Commissioner Light asked if the wording, "Rural Preservation. Lot," is an identified stamp that
is placed on the plat indicating the preserved lot. Mr. Cheran replied yes; he said the stamp is required on all
sketch plans and identifies the lot for potential buyers, potential sellers, and is recorded in the court house with the
stamp.
Mr. Michael Artz, of Artz & Associates, representing Mrs. Deborah Dorman Dutcher, came
forward to ask the Commission to interpret the intent of Section 165-54(1), Paragraphs A, B, and C of the
Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Artz said this is the section that addresses the creation of the rural
preservation lot subdivisions and specifically defines the parameters for the 40% preservation lot. He explained
that in 1992, this four -lot subdivision was created and 74% was set aside as the rural preservation lot and, he
believed, Mr. and Mrs. Dutcher were informed at that time that they could come back at anytime in the future and
further subdivide that parcel. Mr. Artz said that in April of this year, he was hired by Mrs. Dutcher to do just
that. He said that drainfreld sites were located, a preliminary sketch plan was prepared, it was submitted to four
different agencies for review, and it was submitted to the Planning Department with a check. He said the
subdivision was denied by the Zoning Administrator under Paragraph C, "No future division of this portion of the
parent tract will be permitted," and the check was returned. Mr. Artz said the case went to the BZA (Board of
Zoning Appeals) and was denied. He said he still disagrees with the interpretation of this section of the code and
that is why he is before the Commission. Mr. Artz believed there has been a change in the interpretation of this
section of the code by the various zoning administrators over the past 14 years since this section of the code was
written. He said that Mr. Wayne Miller, who was the Zoning Administrator in 1992 and who approved this
subdivision, testified at the BZA that if he were Zoning Administrator today, he would grant approval. Mr. Artz
said that had Mrs. Dutcher known this was going to be the case in 1992, she would have done something
differently.
Chairman DeHaven called for public comments and the following persons came forward to
speak:
Mr. Paul F. Kisak, adjoining property owner on Lot 3, said that both he and his wife were present
to speak in opposition to the request to reduce the rural preservation lot from 74% to 40%. Mr. Kisak said that he
was granted proxy to represent 57 of the neighbors who live in this district and the surrounding property, which
represents 94% of the residents within a one -mile radius of the property under consideration. Mr. Kisak read the
preamble of the petition signed by the 57 residents of the neighborhood who were in opposition to this exception
request. He also submitted a copy of his sales contract, dated March 26, 1992, when he purchased a house and 15
acres from Mrs. Donnan Dutcher, and he read sections of the contract where the seller agrees not to subdivide or
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of August 17, 2005

develop the remaining land. Mr. Kisak said that contrary to Mr. Artz's statements, he believed Mrs. Dorman
Dutcher knew about the rural preservation restriction because she signed the sales contract over 10 times. Mr.
Kisak supported the previous denials by Mr. Cheran, the Planning Staff, and the BZA. He said he was prepared
to provide four to five affidavits, from the property owners involved in the subdivision of the original property,
that they were told by the seller that the rural preservation lot could not be developed.
Commissioner Thomas asked Mr. Kisak if his original 15 -acre lot, Lot 3, had been subdivided
since he purchased it. Mr. Kisak replied yes; he said it is now a 9.1 -acre lot and a 5.0 -acre lot and a house was
built on the lot. In addition, Commissioner Thomas asked Mr. Kisak if he was given the right of first refusal on
the property under consideration, Lot 4, as stated in the sales contract. Mr. Kisak said he was not given that
opportunity.
Mrs. Kathryn Anne Kisak, wife of Mr. Paul Kisak, said that she and her husband did
considerable homework before they purchased their property and they purchased this property contingent on the
disposition of this particular Lot 4. Mrs. Kisak said that she and her husband spoke with Mr. Miller and others in
the Planning Department in 1992 and were given different information than what is being presented by Mr. Artz
today. Mrs. Kisak referred to the letter her husband submitted, dated June 1, 2005, from the homeowners of the
lots adjacent to Lot 4. Mrs. Kisak said they went to the courthouse and looked at the plats and they did not see
any notations on the plat or the written survey indicating that this lot was in excess of a minimum 40% or that
there were plans to do something additional with this land. She added that according to the Zoning Code
pertaining to rural preservation lots, the rural preservation lot must be designated, and this was obviously
designated as a rural preservation lot consisting of 58 acres.
Commissioner Ours asked Mr. Ariz to explain the development plans for Lot 4. Mr. Artz stated
that the preliminary sketch plat proposes to construct a new subdivision street road, that would eventually be
dedicated to the Commonwealth of Virginia, with approximately 12 lots; seven lots on the western side and five
lots on the eastern side are planned, with the rural preservation lot in the rear. He said the rural preservation lot
would be 40.1% of the original tract size. He added that lot sizes would range from a minimum of two acres up to
2'/a acres.
Commissioner Thomas said that as the Chairman of the Development Review and Regulations
Subcommittee (DRRS) for a number of years, he understood there were some challenges existing within the
wording of the zoning ordinance because of its size and the number of amendments that have been made over the
years. He agreed this section of the ordinance needs to be placed on the DRRS's work plan for the coming year
for clarification. Speaking as a long-time member of the DRRS, he said that when this ordinance was initially
discussed and written, the intent was to preserve 40% as the rural preservation lot. He said if someone wanted to
preserve more, and understood what they were doing, that was certainly their prerogative; but as far as the DRRS
and implementation, the intent was that 40% remained as the preservation lot.
Commission members noted that their role was not to enforce contracts or purchase agreements
between property owners, but it was the Commission's role to enforce the ordinance. However, Commission
members found it difficult to ignore the sense of trust that came about on the part of the neighbors that there
would be no further development on this particular lot.
A motion was made by Corninissioner Unger to recommend denial of the request for exception.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Watt and passed by a majority vote.

BE IT RESOLVED, By a majority vote, the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby recommend
denial of a request for a subdivision exception sought by Artz & Associates, on behalf of property owner,
Deborah Dorman Dutcher, under Section 144-31.B.1 of the Frederick County Code, to allow Lot 4, designated as
a rural preservation lot consisting of 58.847 acres, to be further subdivided, reducing the existing 74% rural
preservation parcel to 40% of the original tract.
The majority vote was as follows:
YES (TO REC. DENIAL): Straub, Gochenour, Watt, Unger, Morris, Light, DeHaven, Ours
NO: Thomas, Kriz, Triplett
(Note: Commissioners Manuel and Wilmot were absent from the meeting.)
Upon motion made by Commissioner Morris and seconded by Commissioner Ours, the
Commission unanimously agreed to make the three documents submitted by the adjoining property owner, Mr.
Paul F. Kisak, a part of the official record. Those documents included a copy of a sales contract, a copy of a
petition, and a draft letter dated June 1, 2005 from adjacent homeowners.
Subdivision Request 926-05 of Stonebrook, LC, submitted by Greenway Engineering, for one single-
family detached traditional lot, zoned RP (Residential Performance) District. The property fronts on the
western boundary of Jones Road (Rt. 621), approximately 0.05 miles north of the intersection with
Stonebrook Road (Rt. 1109) and Greenfield Avenue. The property is further identified with P.I.N. 62-A-
51 in the Back Creek Magisterial District.
Action — Recommended Approval
Zoning and Subdivision Administrator Mark R Cheran reported that this property was created in
1973, prior to the master development plan (MDP) requirement adopted by Frederick County. Mr. Cheran said
this proposed subdivision will create one single-family detached rural traditional lot consisting of a minimum
100,000 square feet in size. He said the subdivision appears to satisfy all agency and ordinance requirements and
access to the lot will be via Greenfield Drive. Mr. Cheran explained that the Commission will be granting the
staff administrative approval authority with a waiver of the master development plan requirements.
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt with Greenway Engineering was representing this application.
Commissioner Gochenour said that it appears the storm water pipes located on Greenfield Road
are directed towards this lot. Mr. Wyatt said that when an entrance is created off of Greenfield Road, an
additional culvert will be added to redirect the storm water away from the structure to be built on the property.
Ultimately, the drainage would work its way down through the property to the Opequon Creek.
There were no public comments.

PRESENTATION OF THE WINCHESTER -FREDERICK COUNTY METROPOLITAN PLANNING
ORGANIZATION (MPO) VISION PLAN
No Action Required
Planning Director, Eric R Lawrence, introduced Mr. John Bishop, the Transportation Planner for
the Winchester -Frederick County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), who was available to give the
Planning Commission an update on the MPO's Transportation Plan. Mr. Bishop provided an overview of the
committees and jurisdictions that comprise the MPO, the Federal requirements, and the formulation of the Final
Vision Plan. Mr. Bishop provided the Commission with the dollar amounts designated for Inter -state funding,
Primary funding, and Urban funding. He commented that greater portions of road improvement projects are now
developer funded.
Commissioner Morris asked what was being done to assure the different localities are working
together with the MPO's transportation planning efforts. Mr. Bishop replied that the Technical Advisory
Committee, which is made up of technical employees throughout the community, and the Policy Committee are
providing the information on which the MPO bases its decisions. Mr. Bishop said that Commissioners should not
see a big difference between the MPO's Vision Plan and the County's current planning efforts. He said the main
area of difference is that localities will be required to think at a regional level, not just at a local level.
Commissioner Morris inquired if all of Frederick County was included in the MPO and Mr.
Bishop replied that only the urbanized portion of Frederick County is included. Chairman DeHaven commented
that the big challenge for Frederick County is to take the MPO's core plan, which is meshing with cross -
jurisdictional lines, and expand it out beyond their scope, while making sure it is updated and cohesive.
Commissioner Straub spoke about the procedure Frederick County has followed in the past,
where the staff would present the road improvement plans to the Planning Commission and the Board, and then
representatives would go to the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) to ask for allocations of money.
She asked if this procedure would now be the job of the MPO. Mr. Lawrence replied that there are many rural
roads designated within the County's Secondary Road Plan, for example, that are outside of the boundaries of the
MPO; therefore, the County will need to continue to follow the same exercise they have followed in the past.
Commissioner Thomas asked about the level to which the MPO was going to analyze the road
plans for the various jurisdictions; he asked if there would be traffic studies, level of service studies, and if any
studies would be conducted by route or intersections levels. Mr. Bishop said that a regional model is used and
although it isn't as perfect as some software for doing specific intersection analysis, it does a good job identifying
a really poor intersection and those intersections will show up in the vision plan.
Commissioner Unger inquired about the controversy over Route 37; he asked whose
responsibility it should be to keep that route in the forefront. Mr. Bishop did not think the long-range plan was
meant to be a vehicle for promoting a particular alignment. Mr. Lawrence commented that funding for the
engineering is a significant first step; he said that as development approaches, the engineering will have been
completed and the developers can construct the roads. Chairman DeHaven pointed out that the corridor will have
to be designated and preserved, or there simply is no chance of building the road.

REVIEW OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S BY-LAWS PERTAINING TO 11:00 P.M.
ADJOURNMENT
Chairman DeHaven asked the members of the Commission if a discussion was warranted to
amend the mandatory 11:00 p.m. adjournment time required by the Planning Commission's adopted By -Laws.
Some members suggested the possibility of a temporary meeting extension enacted on a case-by-case basis;
however, other Commissioners did not see the point of circumventing the by-laws. The consensus of the
Commission members was that the current by-laws function quite well and no change was necessary.
OTHER
Planning Director, Eric R Lawrence announced that a tour of the County's rural community
centers is being organized by the Planning Staff for next Tuesday afternoon, August 23. He said that anyone who

sufficient transportation arrangements.
Commissioner Ours announced that Frederick County is holding a public hearing with Adelphia
Cable, soon to be doing business as ComCast, for tomorrow evening, Thursday, August 18, at 6:30 p.m. in the
Board of Supervisors' meeting room. He said that if anyone would like to snake comments about the cable
franchise in Frederick County, they are invited to speak at that time.
Chairman DeHaven announced that the Citizens Planning Education Association's new schedule
for the remainder of this 2005 and for 2006 is now available. Chairman DeHaven said that he had additional
copies if anyone was interested.

Page 2
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: The documentation within the application to rezone this property
appears to have a measurable impact on Routes 669 and Rest Church Road. This route is the VDOT
roadway which have been considered as the access to the property referenced. VDOT is satisfied that
the transportation proffers offered in the JCA IV Whitehall, LLC Rezoning/TIA application dated July
18, 2005, revised August 5, 2005, addresses transportation concerns associated with this request.
Before development, this office will require a complete set of construction plans detailing entrance
designs, drainage features, and traffic flow data from the I.T.E Trip Generation Manual, Seventh
Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right-of-way needs, including right-of-
way dedications, traffic signalization, and off-site roadway improvements and drainage. Any work
performed on the State's right-of-way must be covered under a land use permit. This permit is issued
by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety bond coverage.
Fire Marshal: Water Supply (i.e. fire hydrants) will need to be addressed when site plan is submitted.
Plan approval recommended.
Public Works Department: Please see attached letter dated July 26, 2005 and signed by Harvey E.
Strawsnyder, Jr., P. E., Director of Public Works.
Frederick County Inspections: (No comment sheet received)
Frederick -Winchester Service Authority: Water and sewer must be brought to the site from the east
side of I-81.
Sanitation Authority: No comment.
Frederick -Winchester Health Department: The Health Department has no objection to the request as
long as public water and sewer are provided.
Department of Parks & Recreation: No comment.
Department of GIS: (No comment sheet received)
Frederick County Public Schools: Based on the information provided that states no residential units
will be part of the rezoning, there will be no impact to the school population upon build -out.
Winchester Rel4ional Airport: The proposed rezoning request has been reviewed and it appears that it
will not impact operations at the Winchester Regional Airport.
Frederick County Attorney: (No comment sheet received)
Historic Resources Advisory Board: Upon review of the proposed rezoning, it appears that the
proposal does not significantly impact historic properties and it is not necessary to schedule a formal
review of the rezoning application by the HRAB.
Rezoning #14-05 — JCA IV Whitehall, LLC

Planning & Zoning:
1) Site History
On December 12, 1990, the Frederick County Board of Supervisors approved Rezoning
application #009-90 of Whitehall Business Park for the rezoning of 15.03 acres from RA (Rural
Area) to M-1 (Light Industrial) and 34.25 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to B-3 (Industrial
Transition). This was a proffered rezoning application (a copy of the original proffers is
included in this agenda package). A Master Development Plan, MDP #003-96, was
subsequently approved for the development of the Whitehall Business Park on June 6, 1996.
The Master Development plan identified the development of the Whitehall Business Park within
two phases and also envisioned the creation of eight lots. The first five lots were identified as
being within the B3 (Industrial Transition) District and the remaining three lots, lots six, seven,
and eight, within the M1 (light Industrial) District. Lots six, seven, and eight totaling 15.03
acres are one part of this rezoning application. It is the applicants desire to modify the proffers
associated with these three parcels and is therefore requesting a rezoning from M1 (Light
Industrial) to M1 (Light Industrial) with modified proffers.
In addition, the applicant is requesting the rezoning of five acres from RA (Rural Areas) to M 1
(Light Industrial) District with proffers. On July 8, 2005, a Boundary Line Adjustment Plat was
approved by Frederick County that added five acres to lot 8 of the Whitehall Business Park. The
five acres was adjusted from the adjoining parcels 33-A-89 and 33-A-90 owned by Fruit Hill
Orchard, LLC. As shown on the exhibits accompanying this rezoning application, the addition
of this five acre piece of land created a more regularly shaped lot and a lot which is more
developable under the M 1 (Light Industrial) zoning classification. The net result of this rezoning
application would be a 20.035 acre parcel that is zoned M1 (light Industrial) with new proffers.
2) 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. 1-11
T nv7d T Tcv
The parcels comprising this rezoning application are located within the County's Sewer and
Water Service Area (SWSA). The Sewer and Water Service Area defines the general area in
which more intensive forms of planned commercial, and industrial development will occur. In
addition, the JCA IV Whitehall, LLC property is located within the area encompassed by the
Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan.
Rezoning #14-05 — JCA IV Whitehall, LLC
September 8, 2005
Page 4
The Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan envisions commercial land uses on the property. The
JCA IV Whitehall, LLC Property application proposes a rezoning of light industrial/commercial
land use which provides for a large area of commercial opportunity in conjunction with the
Interstate 81 and Exit 323. A goal of the Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan is to provide for
interstate business development opportunities to take advantage of the interstate and its
interchanges. In addition, the Plan encourages industrial uses to locate within master planned
areas. The Comprehensive Plan further identifies that new industrial uses should be located near
interchanges and in the vicinity of existing industrial areas and parks where appropriate access
and facilities are available. The Comprehensive Plan seeks to provide for quality business and
industrial areas.
The addition of the five acres of RA (Rural Areas) land into the Whitehall Business Park under
the M1 (Light Industrial) zoning classification would be consistent with the existing Whitehall
Business Park development and would further the land use goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Transportation
The Frederick County Northeast Land Use Plan provides the guidance regarding future arterial
and collector road connections in the Northeastern 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).
3) Site Suitability/Environment
The 20 -acre site has approximately 1940 feet of frontage along Interstate 81. Located about 350
feet south of the intersection of Rest Church Road (Route 669) and Zachary Ann Lane, and in
the immediate vicinity of Exit 323 of Interstate 81, the subject property is ideally located to take
advantage of the business development opportunities provided by the interstate. The
development of such an opportunity is an objective of the Northeast Land Use Plan.
The acreage that makes up this property does not contain areas of steep slopes. The property
does contain areas of mature woodlands, primarily on lot 8. Efforts have been made by the
applicant in the Proffer Statement to minimize the disturbance of areas of mature woodlands
along the southern perimeter of the property and along the Interstate 81 frontage.
The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey does not identify potentially significant historic
resources or historic district on, or within, the proximity of this acreage.

Potential Impact Summary.
In evaluating the JCA IV Whitehall, LLC rezoning application it is very important to recognize
that 15.03 acres are presently zoned Ml (Light Industrial). The impacts associated with this
acreage were generally addressed with the County's approval of Rezoning Application #009-90
for the Whitehall Business Park and the subsequent development of the 52 acre Whitehall
Business Park. The applicant is proposing to construct a Caterpillar Maintenance and Sales
Facility which will be located on the area of the property that is presently zoned Ml (Light
Industrial). The addition of the five acres would enable a greater amount of flexibility in the
design and layout of the site and facility.
While the impacts associated with the entire project should be evaluated, the greatest change in
land use is with the proposed change of five acres from RA (Rural Areas) to M1 (Light
Industrial). The application does not specifically proffer a use or building square footage for the
five acres. With this in mind, the maximum possible business and industrial intensity, based on
trip generation and fiscal impact on capital facilities identified in the rezoning application
package that could be generated by this five acre parcel is approximately 24, 750 square feet of
general office use per acre of use. This would total 123,750 square feet of General Office Use.
The Fiscal impact model was run based upon the development of the twenty acre parcel in its
entirety to provide the County and the applicant with an overall understanding of the impact of
the project. Consideration should be given to the impacts of this rezoning request with
particular attention to the five acres that is requested to be modified from RA(Rural Areas) to
Ml (Light Industrial).
A. Transportation
The applicant has evaluated the transportation impacts associated with this rezoning application
and the development of the property. In conjunction with the Virginia Department of
Transportation it was determined that a more detailed Traffic analysis would not be required.
This determination was primarily based upon the limited scope of the rezoning application, the
improvements provided with the development of the Whitehall Business Park, and the recently
completed improvements to Rest Church Road (Route 669) and its interchange with Interstate
81. The applicant has addressed the intersection of Rest Church Road (Route 669) and Zachary
Ann Lane. In addition, the applicant has identified improvements that will be made to Zachary
Ann Lane to address the concerns of the Virginia Department of Transportation. All of the
transportation improvements identified in the proffer statement will be implemented prior to the
issuance of an occupancy permit for the proposed facility.
The Master Development Plan for the Whitehall Business Park envisions Zachary Ann Lane
running to the northern limits of Lot 8. The development of the rezoned property will involve
extending Zachary Ann Lane to their property which is at the northern limits of Lot 6. This
modification to Zachary Ann Lane proposed by the applicant will be achieved in conjunction
with the Master Development Plan process. The addition of this acreage to the Whitehall
Business Park will entail a modification to the Master Development Plan.

B. Sewer and Water
New commercial land uses located within the Northeast Frederick Land Use Plan are
recommended to be developed with public water and sewer service. Individual package
treatment plants are prohibited as a means to accommodate new commercial development.
Unlike the original Whitehall Business Park rezoning application for this property, this current
application, RZ14-05, provides for the development of, and connection to, the public water and
sewer system in a manner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant has been participating with the Sanitation Authority to make the extension of
water and sewer to the Whitehall Business Park possible. It is anticipated that the five acre
portion of the rezoning application could generate approximately 18,595 gallons per day of
sewage flow and 37,190 gallons per day of water usage. However, it should be recognized that
the building that is anticipated to be constructed on the site will be located entirely on the
portion of the property that is currently zoned M1 (Light Industrial). Wastewater generated by
this project will be treated at the Opequon Waste Water Treatment Plant. The applicant has
stated that they will be using a water reclamation system for operations associated with this
development.
C. Community Facilities
The Frederick County Fiscal Impact Model is a tool that is used to identify the capital costs
associated with various types of development proposals presented to the County. The projected
costs to Fire and Rescue, Public Schools, Parks and Recreation, Library, Sheriff's Office and for
the Administration Building are calculated and provided to the applicant for their consideration.
As noted previously, the Fiscal impact model was run based upon the development of the
twenty acre parcel in its entirety to provide the County and the applicant with an overall
understanding of the impact of the project. The Fiscal Impact Model output for this project
indicates a net positive fiscal impact. However, in recognition of the impacts that may be
realized by the community to the Fire and Rescue services, the applicant has proffered a
contribution in the amount of $0.015 per square foot of structural development on the property.
5) Proffer Statement — Dated August 8, 2005 (Revised August 18,2005)
The proffers provided with the JVA IV Whitehall, LLC. rezoning application replace those
which previously applied to the 15.03 acres presently zoned M1 (Light Industrial). The original
proffers were previously proffered with Rezoning #009-90. This proffer statement is applicable
to the entire 20.035 acres, including the five acres of RA (Rural Areas) zoned land.
A) Transportation
The applicant has not provided a generalized development plan for this application as no new
road connections are to be provided. However, an exhibit has been offered that illustrates the
proffers in general. The applicant has proffered to address the road configuration at the
intersection of Rest Church Road and Zachary Ann Lane to the satisfaction of VDOT, to
Rezoning # 14-05 — JCA IV Whitehall, LLC
September 8, 2005
Page 7
construct and pave Zachary Ann Lane from Rest Church Road to Lot 6 of the Whitehall
Business Park, and to add additional improvements to Zachary Ann Lane..
B) Water and Sewer
The applicant has proffered to extend public water and sewer service from the east side of
Interstate 81 to their development to the satisfaction of the Frederick County Sanitation
Authority.
C) Landscgping and Tree Preservation
The applicant has proffered to provide a 50'woodlands buffer along the southern property line
of the property to be rezoned. In addition, the applicant has proffered to maintain a variable
width buffer for the purpose of maintaining existing trees along the Interstate 81 frontage of Lot
8.
D) Monetary Contribution
The applicant has proffered a monetary contribution in the amount of $0.015 per building
square foot to Frederick County to offset the impacts generated on Frederick County's Fire and
Rescue Services.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 09/21/05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
The JCA IV Whitehall, LLC. rezoning application is generally consistent with the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan as described in the staff report. The Planning Commission should ensure that any
impacts associated with this rezoning request have been fully addressed by the applicant.
Following the requirement for a public hearing, a recommendation
by the Planning Commission to the Board of Supervisors concerning this rezoning
application would be appropriate. The applicant should be prepared to adequately
address all concerns raised by the Planning Commission.

County, Virginia, shall approve Rezoning Application #014-05 for the rezoning of 5.0 -acres+/- from the
Rural Areas (RA) District to General Manufacturing (M1) District and 15.035 acres from Ml to M1 with
modified proffers. With modified proffers for lots 6, 7 and 8 (previous RZ# 009-90 Dated November 21,
1990). Development of the subject property shall be done in conformity with the terms and conditions set
forth herein, except that such term and conditions may be subsequently amended or revised by the
applicant and such be approved by the Frederick County Board of Supervisors in accordance with the said
Code and Zoning Ordinance. In the event that such rezoning is not granted, then these proffers shall be
deemed withdrawn and have no bonding effect whatsoever. Upon approval of such rezoning, these
proffers shall be binding upon applicants and their successors and assigns.
Prepared by: _I I 1 Urban Engineering & Associates
The subject property, identified as White Hall business Park, and more particularly described as the lands
owned by JCA 1V White Hall, LLC. Previously, a portion of Tax Maps 33-((A))-89 and 90 obtained by
friendly boundary line adjustment from Fruit Hill Orchard, LLC and further described by Instrument
4050015193. This is adjacent to 3 lots currently owned by JCA IV located in the White Hall Business
Park currently zoned M-1. These lots are more particularly identified as Tax Map # 39-((9))-6, 7 & 8.
Transportation
The applicant hereby proffers to work with VDoT to develop a lane striping plan to improve traffic
conditions at the existing entrance at Rest Church Road and Zachary Ann Lane. Also, the developer
agrees to the following improvements to Zachary Ann Lane:
1) Construct and pave Zachary Ann Lane from Rest Church Road (Rt.669) to Lot 6 of the White
Hall Business Park. This is to be accomplished according to plans prepared by Ebert and
Associates and approved by VDoT in 1997 to current VDoT standards.
2) Add curb and gutter to the edge of pavement shown on the plans prepared by Ebert &
Associates from the intersection of Rest Church road to a point to be determined by VDoT to
help discourage truck parking and not require the addition of storm drain structures.
3) Place No Parking signs along both sides of Zachary Ann Lane from the entrance on Rest
Church Road south to the end of the adjacent property currently owned by Flying J.
These improvements shall be implemented prior to issuance of occupancy of the proposed facility.
Water and Sanitary Sewer
The Applicant hereby proffers to extend public water and sewer services from a point on the eastern side
of interstate 81 near Duncan run to their area of development. These services have been designed by
Urban Engineering and approved by the Frederick County Sanitation Authority.

The Applicant agrees to continue the 50' buffer previously shown on Lot 8 of the Preliminary Master
Development plan prepared for the White Hall Business Park along the southern 50' of the property to be
rezoned. In addition the applicant agrees to leave an additional tree buffer along lot 8 abutting Interstate
81. This buffer would be a minimum .of five feet to a maximum of twenty feet wide. The actual width
will be determined during final engineering of the site so as to obtain a 3:1 slope and without the use of
retaining walls to allow maximum utilization of storage area.
Monetary Contribution to Offset Impact of Development
The Applicant herby proffers that in the event rezoning application # 014-05 is approved, the applicant or
his legal successor, heir, or assign, will pay to the Treasurer of Frederick County, Virginia the following
amount:
$0.015/building square foot
This payment, potentially totaling $1,950 is intended to offset the additional cost to Frederick County, and
more specifically Frederick County Fire and Rescue, due to an increased demand on public services.

Impact Analysis Statement - JCA N
Introduction
The purpose of this Impact Analysis is to assess the impacts resulting from the rezoning
of 5.00 acres+/- parcel from RA (Rural Areas) to M1 (Industrial — Light District) and
15.035 acres+/- from Ml (Industrial — Light District) to M1 (Industrial — Light Industrial)
with modified proffers. This rezoning is a portion of property obtained by friendly
boundary line adjustment from two parcels of land, a 107.67 acre site (33-A-90) and a
110.00 acre site (33-A-89), owned by Fruit Hill Orchard, LLC. (Owner) and lots 6, 7 & 8
owned by JCA IV White Hall, LLC. A Caterpillar Maintenance & Sales Facility is
proposed by Alban Tractor Co. Inc.; James C. Alban (Applicant) for this site and the
adjoining site, already zoned Ml. This site is located within the county's Sewer and
Water Service Area (SWSA) and adjacent to the approved White Hall Business Park.
Please see attached Alban Tractor Co. letter for additional back ground.
This site is located within the county's Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and
adjacent to the approved White Hall Business Park.
Access to the site will be provided from Zachary Ann Lane, approximately 950 feet west
of Interchange 323 on I-81 then approximately 2560 feet south along Zachary Ann Lane
The location of the site and the area to be rezoned are shown on the attached "Location
Map".
Site Suitability
The 5.00 acre+/- parcel (hereby referred to as "site") is primarily open fields with
approximately 1.4 Acres of woodland. The attached "Suitability Map Exhibit" shows
soil types and locations of nearby streams and wetlands.
According to Frederick County GIS Data, Tax Maps 33, there are no flood plains or
wetlands on the site. The slopes on the site range from 1%-12.5%. Therefore, the site
contains no steep slope areas greater than 15
Surrounding Properties
North: RA (Rural Areas), Orchard
South: RA (Rural Areas), Residential
East: M 1 (Industrial —Light District); Business Park
West: RA (Rural Areas), Orchard
2of5
Impact Analysis Statement - JCA N
The site is surrounded by parcels zoned RA (Rural Areas), Ml (Industrial — Light
District) and B-3 (Business Industrial Transition District). One of the RA zoned parcels
to the south is used for residential purposes. The RA parcels to the West and North are
used for an orchard. The distances between the boundary of the site and nearby
residences and other structures are shown on the attached "Existing Building Location
Map".
A Caterpillar Maintenance Sales Facility is proposed for this site and the adjoining
15.035 acre M1 parcel to the east. It is expected that impacts from this use on adjacent
properties will be minimal. Expected impacts may include noise from users of the
facility and glare from site lighting. Noise impacts could be minimized by keeping the
shop bay doors closed in the climate controlled facility. Glare impacts could be
minimized by providing proper screening and careful selection and arrangement of
lighting. Lighting shall be arranged and hooded to confine all light rays entirely within
the site boundaries. Final details of these measures will be determined at Site Plan
Review.
Traffic
The current entrance on Rest Church Road has approximately 64' of pavement at the
entrance onto the approved plans for Zachary Ann Lane. The total original approved area
for White Hall Business Park was +/- 52 acres. With the addition of the 5 acres to be
rezoned, the total acreage will be +/- 59 acres, and increase of only approximately 9%.
Also, since this facility deals with a specific type of client, it is not expected to generate
large volumes of traffic on a daily basis.
The developer would agree to work with VDOT to develop a lane striping plan to help
improve the traffic condition at the existing entrance on Rest Church road and Zachary
Ann Lane. Also, the developer would agree to pave Zachary Ann Lane as shown on the
approved plans to the property being rezoned. In addition curb and gutter will be
provided to a point to help discourage truck parking and not require the addition of storm
drain inlets. Finally, the developer would agree to place No Parking signs along both
sides of Zachary Ann Lane from the entrance onto Rest Church Road south to the end of
the property currently owned by Flying J. These improvements shall be implemented
prior to issuance of an occupancy permit.
Sewage Conveyance and Treatment
This site will be served by an 8" sanitary sewer line designed by Urban Engineering and
approved by all agencies and to be constructed by developer of this project. The total site
of development is +/- 20 Acres. The maximum square footage allowed for the M-1
zoning is 495,866 Sq.Ft. Based on this area as a gross Sq. Ft. and a usage of 150
gpd/ 1,000sq. ft. of floor space the projected maximum sewer flow may be 74,380 gpd.
The portion of the site currently zoned M-1 (+/-15 acres) would contribute approximately
3 of 5
Impact Analysis Statement - JCA IV
55,785 gpd based on maximum floor area and the area requested to be rezoned to M-1
(+/-5 acres) would contribute approximately 18,595 gpd. The potential building that will
be constructed on this site will be located entirely on the portion that is currently zoned
M-1. and may be as large as 140,000 sq.ft. Using the same assumptions as above this
facility may produce approximately 14,000 gpd of sewage flow. This is less that what
could be expected from a maximum density for the +/-5 Acres requested to be rezoned.
Additional, similar Alban Tractor Co. Inc. facilities use approximately 4,000 gallons per
day. The developer will also be using a water reclamation system for a potential truck
wash building and other washing operations associated with this development. Therefore,
additional reduction of sewage flows could be expected. Finally, the applicant will install
public sewer to this facility with a potential cost of approximately $250,000.
Water Supply
The site will be served by a 12" water line designed by Urban Engineering and approved
by all agencies and to be constructed by the developer of this facility. . The total site of
development is +/- 20 Acres. The maximum square footage allowed for the M-1 zoning
is 495,866 Sq.Ft. Based on this area as a gross Sq.Ft. and a usage of 300 gpd/1,000sq.ft.
of floor space the projected maximum water usage may be 148,760 gpd. The portion of
the site currently zoned M-1 (+/-15 acres) would contribute approximately 111,570 gpd
based on maximum floor area and the area requested to be rezoned to M-1 (+/-5 acres)
would contribute approximately 37,190 gpd. The potential building that will be
constructed on this site will be located entirely on the portion that is currently zoned M-1
and may be as large as 140,000 sq.ft. Using the same assumptions as above this facility
may produce approximately 28,000 gpd of sewage flow. This is less than what could be
expected from the +/-5 Acres requested to be rezoned. Additional, similar Alban Tractor
Co. Inc. facilities use approximately 4,000 gallons per day. The developer will also be
using a water reclamation system for a potential truck wash building and other washing
operations associated with this development. Therefore additional reduction in water
consumption could be expected.. Finally, the applicant will install public water to this
facility with a potential cost of approximately $250,000.
Drainage
The site currently drains to a point on Duncan Run where it intersects I-81. Storm Water
Management Facilities will be designed per Frederick County standards to reduce post
development flows to pre -development flows. A water reclamation system will be used
for wash operation on site as well as an oil recycling program will be implemented. An
oil separator will be used in the equipment and truck wash areas.
Solid Waste Disposal Facilities
The impact on solid waste disposal can be projected from an average annual business
consumption of landfill volume figure of 5.4 cubic yards per 1,000 sq. ft. of commercial
floor area. (This number can be found in the Civil Engineering Reference Manual, 4t'
edition)
4 of 5
impact Analysis Statement - JCA Tv
The maximum allowable floor area is 495866 Sq.Ft. Based on the production stated
above the total site could produce 2678 CY per year. This would breakdown to 2008
CY for the area currently Zoned M-1 and 670 CY for the 5.0 Acres+/- for area requested
to be rezoned.
By applying the 5.4 CY per 1000 Sq.Ft. to the potential floor area proposed with floor
area of 130, 000 Sq.Ft. an annual production of 702 CY of solid waste could be expected.
This is less than what could be expected by the total site and even the 5.0 Acres+/-.
Furthermore the current facility operated by Alban Tractor in Frederick County currently
has a 6 CY dumpster that is emptied every week by Allied Waste. Projecting this out
over 52 weeks per year, the total expected would be approximately 312 CY. This is less
than what could potentially be expected from a maximum development, based on the
allowable square footage per the current zoning regulations. Alban will transfer their
contract for the current facility to the proposed facility for this rezoning.
Historic Site; and Structures
According to information obtained from the National Register of Historic Places and the
Virginia Division of Historic Resources websites, there are no historic sites or structures
on the parcel to be rezoned or on adjacent parcels.
Impact on Community Facilities
Based on fiscal impact model run by the Frederick County Planning and Zoning
Department is was found that the development of this project would have a net positive
effect on the economy of Frederick County. Even though the model run by Frederick
County shows no need for cash proffers, the applicant is willing to make a contribution to
the Frederick County Fire and Rescue to offset initial costs incurred by this development.
The applicant plans to preserve a buffer of existing trees on the south and southeastern
portion of the property to reduce the visual impacts of an outdoor storage area.
Finally, sales are projected to be approximately $31 million and employment of
approximately 55 people. Since we are proposing no residential use, impact to schools
will be minimal.

Dear Mr, Marano:
RE: Westphalia Road @ MD 4
Based on our discussions, it is our understanding that Alban - Cat is proposed to construct
a new truck service facility on the property located in the northeast quadrant of the MD 41
Westphalia Road intersection in Prince Georges County, Maryland, The site will access
directly to 'Westphalia Road which in turn connects to MD 4 by way of an existing signalized
intersection-
As
nter section_
As you are aware, the development density ofthe subject property has been limited as detailed
within the Preliminary Plan resolution (Preliminary Plat 4-93085, PGCPB No. 94-158) to
"980,400 square feet light service industrial space and 35,000 square feet commercial office
space or different uses generating no more than 974 AM peak hour trips and 974 PM peak
hour trips as specified in PGCPB Resolution No. 94-158." Because the proposed truck
service facility is a use that has not been previously studied, additional studies are necessary
ian order to predict the expected trip generation characteristics, as they would apply to the trip
cap placed on the property.
Based on our discussions, the existing ALBAN site in Sterligg, Virginia was identified as a
fac"1=a_-�; vent similar in size and use to the one proposed for the Westphalia Road site. A traffic
data collection program was developed to analyze the Sterling site which include mechanical
counts for the each of the two driveways serving the site along with peak period manual
classification counts for the driveways. Copies of the data summaries a1e included for your
review and use.
It was anticipated that the ALBAN facility would be a relatively low peak period traffic
gerrmtor_ 'Phis assumption was confirmed through the data collection process_ Based on our
review of the data collected, averaged over a two day period, the AL13AN site was found to
generate 61 morning and 22 evening peak hour trips. This morning site traffic was evenly split
between inbound and outbound traffic while the evening peak hour traffic was predominantly
outbound in nature_

Further review of the data collection confirms that the majority of the mooting traffic
associated with the site occurs early, beginning as early as 5:OOAM and declines prior to the
morning peak hour of the adjoining roadways. The evening peak traffic peak for the site
actually occurs in the early afternoon, again prior to the peak hour peaks of the adjoining
highway.
The classification counts conducted for the Sterling site confirmed that the majority of the
vehicles accessing the site were passenger vehicles, small trucks, or the tractor portion of a
tractor trailer rig_ Very few large trucks, less than eight during the peak period study period,
were re -corded as part of the vehicle classification studies.
In sur unary, based on the studies conducted, the proposed ALBAN truck facility at the
Westphalia Road site wmdd be expected to generate relatively low peak hour traffic volumes,
on the order of 65 morning and 25 evening peak hour trips.
Ifyeu have any questions or require additional information, please let me know.
Sincerely,
