RE: Public Hearing on 2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan
DATE: February 19, 2003
The Frederick County Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan is updated annually in the spring
through a public hearing process involving reviews by the Transportation Committee, the Planning
Commission and the Board of Supervisors. The adopted plan is submitted to the Commonwealth
Transportation Board for consideration during the funding process. Allocations for primary road
improvement projects and interstate road improvement projects are separate, and based on priority. Of
significance in the draft 2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan, is the removal of the Route
669 Bridge Reconstruction project which is currently under construction; and the removal of the Route
37 Eastern Bypass.
The Frederick County Transportation Committee considered the draft update during their February 4,
2003 meeting. No citizens addressed the committee during this meeting and a recommendation was
forwarded to deny the draft 2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan as presented by staff.
The Transportation Committee strongly supported the following two priorities to be included as part of
the 2003 Primary Road and Interstate Road Improvement Plan.
• The majority of the Frederick County Transportation Committee felt the construction of the Route
37 Eastern Bypass project should continue to be presented as the highest primary road
improvement project within Frederick County, and that the project should be revisited.
• The Frederick County Transportation Committee unanimously agreed to "think outside the lanes"
and not to overlook the concept of supporting a rail component as part of the Interstate -81
Improvement Plan. The committee supported the listed priorities for I-81 Improvements within
the draft 2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan, with the additional component of
the main line Rail study added to the 2003 Plan .
Please find attached a draft update for the 2003 Frederick County Primary and Interstate Road
Improvement Plan. Staff requests that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to the Board
of Supervisors for final disposition of this matter.

PREFACE
2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan
The 2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County, Virginia focuses on
improvements to existing major and minor arterial roads within the county. The improvements
recommended in this plan are components of the Winchester Area Transportation Study (WATS),
the Interstate 81 Improvement Study, and the 2000 Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan.
The plan is intended to manage the traffic demands of Frederick County into the foreseeable future.
For the purposes of funding priority, the Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan has been
separated into Primary Road Funding Requests and Interstate Funding Requests. These projects are
listed in order of priority and will continue to appear on subsequent plans until funding has been
secured for their completion.

Public Hearing Item: 2003-2004 Capital Improvements Plan
February 21, 2003
FAX: 540/665-6395
Each year, the County undertakes an evaluation and prioritization of the capital project requests sought
by various county agencies and departments. The resulting draft document, the Capital Improvements
Plan (CIP) is then presented to the Planning Commission, and ultimately the Board of Supervisors for
adoption. The draft 2003-2004 Capital Improvements Plan will be presented to the Planning Commission
on March 5, 2003 as a public hearing item. Following the public hearing, it would be appropriate for the
Commission to forward a recommendation regarding the Plan to the Board of Supervisors.
Pursuant to direction received during the January 8, 2003, Board of Supervisors meeting, staff has
coordinated with representatives from the Frederick County Public Schools and the Department of Parks
and Recreation regarding an alternative format for the project prioritization table of the proposed 2003-
2004 Capital Improvements Plan (CII'). Concern was expressed that the county priorities proposed for
project requests from these agencies were not consistent with the sequence of departmental priorities
endorsed by the School Board and Parks and Recreation Commission, respectively. As a result, the
organization of the CIP spreadsheet has been revisited and revised in an attempt to address these
concerns.
Attached for your reference is a revised CIP table (Page 6) wherein capital projects are organized by
department in the order in which they were originally requested. Although each project is assigned a
county priority, the modified format effectively emphasizes departmental priorities rather than the
countywide prioritization initially proposed by the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee
(CPPS). The agencies involved with this matter have indicated that the revised table format generally
resolves their immediate concerns with the proposed 2003-2004 CIP.
Please find included with this agenda item a summary of the 2003-2004 CIP; information pertaining to
new or modified department projects; and a preliminary copy of the 2003-2004 CIP.
The Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors have each held discussions to review the
proposed 2002-2003 Capital Improvements Plan, and have directed staffto proceed with a public hearing.
A recommendation to forward to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED
2003-2004 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
01 The proposed CIP consists of thirty (30) capital projects, an increase over the
28 projects included in the previous CIP.
► County contributions toward capital projects (excluding debt service) are
estimated to be $56.9 million over the upcoming five-year period, a decrease
from the $65.2 million in expenditures projected in the previous CIP. With
debt service included, the proposed CIP estimates total County costs for capital
projects to be $113.4 million.
® The proposed CIP includes three (3) new capitalproj ects, which are as follows:
land acquisition along Bufflick Road to facilitate the Regional Airport's noise
attenuation program; development of a lake, trails and parking with two
irrigated multi-purpose fields at Sherando Park; and development of an access
road with parking and trails at Sherando Park.
► All of the capital projects included with the previous CIP will be carried over
to the proposed 2003-2004 CIP with the exception of Millbrook High School.
Funding for the County's third high school has been completed and
construction is well underway, with the opening of the facility scheduled for
Fall 2003.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PIAN
FREDERICK COUNTY
INTRODUCTION
2003-2004
Section 15.2-2239 of the Code of Virginia assigns the
responsibility for preparation of plans for capital outlays to the
local Planning Commissions. 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 plan
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.
The annual review process begins with the submission of capital
improvement requests from county departments and relevant
agencies in the fall of the year. These requests are evaluated by
the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS), a
subcommittee of the Planning Commission, using a list of seven
evaluation criteria. Each criterion is assigned a weight which
reflects the relative importance when compared to the other
criterion. The CPPS then meets with representatives of
departments making expenditure requests and determines a
recommended priority for the various requests. This
recommendation is forwarded to the Planning Commission which
in turn makes a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
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.

PROJECT
RECO1V MENDATiONS
In an effort to maintain educational facilities that will handle the
L Sch-ool Board - j
- rt
growing student population, the construction of a new middle
school and two new elementary schools are recommended.
Renovations to James Wood Middle School are underway and
additional funding is requested to continue improvements to the
1,000 student facility. These renovations are intended to expand
the life of the 50 -year-old facility.
Funding is also being requested for the construction of a new
central transportation maintenance facility which will house all of
the school system's buses and provide service to county vehicles
from other departments.
2. Parks and Recreation
The majority of the recommended projects are planned for the
county's two regional parks. Eight projects are planned for
Sherando Park: a softball complex, a soccer complex, tennis courts
and picnic areas, renovations to the existing baseball fields; a
skate/in-line hockey park, maintenance compound, lake with
associated trails and parking, and two irrigated multi-purpose
fields with associated trails and parking. Three projects are
planned for Clearbrook Park including a new open play area, a
tennis and basketball complex, and a new shelter and stage.
Also planned is an indoor pool/field house complex. The scope
and location of this project have not been determined. Various
options for the development of this project are being explored,
including a public-private partnership.
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 systems. This proposal calls
for the acquisition of 150-200 acres of land for each regional park
system to accommodate the recreational needs of the growing
population.

3. County Administration
In an effort to improve service to the citizens throughout the
county and meet current and future space needs, the Frederick
County Sheriff's Office is exploring the feasibility of acquiring
land in a strategic location for the development of a new Public
a _
Safety Center.
�a
The development of an 8,500 -square -foot animal shelter is
proposed to replace the existing Esther Boyd Animal Shelter. The
existing shelter is expected to be displaced in approximately 3
years due to continued development of the Municipal Solid Waste
landfill. The animal shelter would serve Frederick County and
accommodate growth of the animal population. This shelter could
be located on the same site as the Public Safety Center, as space
allows.
Long-range service enhancements are recommended to provide
annex satellite facilities in strategic locations throughout the
county that will house representatives of the Frederick County
Sheriff s Office, the Frederick County Treasurer's Office, and the
Commissioner of Revenue's Office. The Department of Fire &
Rescue has recommended a new fire/rescue station along Fairfax
Pike (Route 277) that would potentially house such satellite
offices. The fire/rescue facility would serve areas in southeast
Frederick County between Route 522 and Route 277.
Relocation of the existing Round Hill Fire Station is also
requested. This would involve the relocation and building of a
22,000 square foot facility for fire and rescue activities along with
the building of a 10,000 square foot community center for fund-
raising and other activities.
5. Handley
The Handley Regional Library has recommended two projects.
Regional Library
The library proposes to acquire 3 to 4 acres of land in the
Gainesboro Magisterial District for a future branch library. A
project request for improvements at the existing Bowman Library
is also proposed. More parking at the Bowman Library is needed
to accommodate the growing number of users of the library. A
sidewalk extension is needed for safer access from adjoining
neighborhoods to the library.

4. Airport Authority An updated master plan for the Winchester Regional Airport was
adopted in December 1993. This plan contains recommendations
regarding capital improvements at the airport that are designed to
meet federal guidelines and provide better service to airport users.
The Airport Authority has included a project request to construct
and relocate a segment of Airport Road (Route 645) to meet
Runway Protection Zone requirements mandated by the FAA; a
request to upgrade the airfield lighting system to enhance safety for
aircraft use of the facility; a request to construct a new airfield
maintenance building; and a request for land acquisition along
Bufflick road for noise abatement within the airport's DNL 65
noise contour.
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 City of Winchester
providing the remaining funding.

Frederick County 2003-2004 Capital Improvements Plan
Page 11
Capital Cost: To be determined
Justification: Since the inception of the Parks and Recreation
Department, the department has relied solely on the use of the
county public schools to house programs. This arrangement
was adequate when the department first started out; however,
- now that the department offers more than 750programs
annually, space within the schools is more difficult to secure
and scheduling is more difficult. This has created a situation
where the department can no longer meet the programming and
facility needs of the county residents. Additionally, there are no
indoor pools in Frederick County; therefore, the provision of
this facility within the Field House Complex would enable the
department to meet citizen programming and instructional
demands and would provide the area with a facility that would
attract new business to the community. This facility would be
available to all area residents.
Construction Schedule: The Parks and Recreation department
requests that the project be funde7d and completed in FY 2003-
04.

located within the Urban Development Area to provide
recreational opportunities to this most actively growing part of
the county. Acquisition of additional parkland would assist in
meeting the minimum facility needs of future county residents
as recommended by the 1996 Virginia Outdoor Plan. The
location of a regional park in this portion of the county would
also reduce traffic burdens in other areas by providing
recreational facilities and services in closer proximity to the
residents within this area.
Construction Schedule: Acquisition in FY 04-05.

Justification: A new 150-200 acre regional park would be
utilized by the entire county population. Acquisition of
Y _ additional parkland would assist in meeting the minimum
facility needs of county residents as recommended by the 1996
a Virginia Outdoor Plan. Currently, this facility need is 558 acres
based on 1998 population projections for Frederick County.
The county owns 404 acres of parkland at this time.

PRIORITY 4 Softball Complex - Sherando Park
Description: This project includes two softball fields; an
access road; parking spaces; and landscaping.
Capital Cost: $491,619
Justification: This facility would provide recreational
opportunities for the entire county population, as well as the
Frederick County School System. Presently, there are ten
softball and baseball fields within the county's regional park
system. Eight of the existing fields must serve a dual purpose of
facilitating youth baseball, as well as adult softball programs.
With the increased usage of these fields, it has become
increasingly difficult to facilitate these programs. This project

County Administration
Project Priority List
PRIORITY 1 Public Safety Center
Description: This project recommends the development of a
35,000 -square -foot facility for the Frederick County Sheriff's
Office and Fire and Rescue S6rvices. This will allow the
Frederick County Sheriff's Office to vacate the Winchester -
Frederick County Joint Judicial Center.
Capital Cost: To be determined.
Justification: The Frederick County Sheriff's Office currently
has 80 employees that occupy space in the Winchester -
Frederick County Joint Judicial Center (JJC). When this space
was first occupied, there were 36 employees in the office.
Representatives of the JJC have indicated that additional space
is required for court officers and other arms of the judicial
branch. Development of a new facility in the county will
enhance the response time for emergency service in the safest
possible manner. The current location of the Sheriff's Office in
the JJC increases emergency response time due to congested
streets and heavily populated areas, thus compromising safety to
persons and property.
Construction Schedule: To be determined.
PRIORITY 2 New Frederick County Animal Shelter
Description: This project involves the development of an
8,500- square -foot building with parking and fencing. This

PRIORITY 3 Annex Facilities
Description: This project will consist of several facilities
located at strategic locations throughout the county to house
employees of the Sheriff's Office, the Treasurer's Office, and
the Commissioner of Revenue's Office. A fire station would be
included with offices located in the Fairfax Pike area.
Capital Cost: $465,000 for Treasurer's Office Satellite Office;
other estimates not available at tiuie of printing.
Justification: The development of satellite facilities along
major transportation networks and in areas of dense population
will provide ease of access for citizens and will improve
services to the county. The county continues to experience a
significant rate of growth, therefore, it is important to provide
services within these areas instead of requiring citizens to
confront congestion, limited parking, and accessibility in the
City of Winchester.
Construction Schedule: Phase -1 Site acquisition and
construction FY 04-05; construction completion FY 05-06.
New Fairfax Pike Fire/Rescue Station (coordinated with
Annex Facilities request)
Description: This project involves the construction of a new
fire/rescue facility in southeast Frederick County between
Stephen's City and Route 522, along the Route 277 (Fairfax
Pike) corridor, which would also house satellite facilities for the
Sheriff, Treasurer, and Board of Supervisors District Office.
The fire and rescue component of the facility would involve an
engine and rescue company. A 5 to 7 acre tract of land would
be needed for this project.
