Lawrence, AICP, Deputy Director � j_,� RE: Request for Waiver to Increase Woodlands Disturbance in Autumn Glen DATE: February 21, 2002 FAX: 540/665-6395 Attached is a letter and materials from Mr. Mark Smith on behalf of the Autumn Glen subdivision. Mr. Smith requests that a waiver ofthe woodlands disturbance requirement of the Zoning Ordinance be granted. The Autumn Glen Subdivision is located on Tasker Road, within the Tasker Land Bays 1 and 2 Master Development Plan. More specifically, the site is east of Frederick Woods and is located in the Opequon Magisterial District. The woodlands waiver would apply to property identified by P.I.N. 75-A-104 which is approximately 55.9 acres, and zoned RP (Residential Performance). The Zoning Ordinance allows for no more than 25 percent of woodlands to be disturbed (§ 165-31.B). The Ordinance further states that the Board of Supervisors may allow larger woodland areas to be disturbed within RP parcels which contain woodland areas on 25% or more of the total site area [§ 165-31.B(7)]. The applicant is requesting to be permitted to disturb up to 69 percent of the woodlands in the master planned area in order to more fully develop the property for the adult residential community. The approved master development plan indicates that there are 16.09 acres of woodlands in the Autumn Glen area. The MDP further allows for 25 percent of woodland disturbance (approximately 4.02 acres.) As requested, an additional woodlands disturbance of 7.05 acres is being sought. The applicant has provided an illustration (dated January 2002 and titled "Woodlands Waiver for Autumn Glen") of the limits of the proposed woodlands disturbance area. A recommendation from the Planning Commission to the Board of Supervisors regarding the woodlands waiver request is desired. Should the Planning Commission forward a favorable recommendation, it would be appropriate to require a survey description for the "perimeter tree save area" to ensure that subsequent subdivision development plans do not encroach into this area.

Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Attn: Eric Lawrence Re: Autumn Glen — Woodlands Waiver Dear Mr. Lawrence: Please find enclosed an exhibit demonstrating the treed area on 56 acres of the Autumn Glen Subdivision. The amount of treed area is 16.09 acres. The approved Master Development Plan for Autumn Glen allowed 4.02 acres of disturbance in this area. We are requesting an additional 7.05 acres of tree disturbance that will increase our tree disturbance to 69%. The attached exhibit demonstrates the additional disturbance in light green that we are proposing and the digital photos demonstrate the low quality of trees. Therefore, we are requesting your support and approval in granting a waiver on the Woodlands Disturbance Ordinance 165-21 B7. Please forward this application to the Planning Commission at the next available meeting. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Lawrence, Deputy Director RE: Discussion - Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) Expansion Request, Kathryn M. Perry Property DATE: February 21, 2002 Included within this agenda item is information that has been prepared by Chuck Maddox, G. W. Clifford & Associates. Mr. Maddox has requested the expansion of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) to incorporate a 57.87 -acre parcel in the Shawnee Magisterial District. A small portion of the property is currently in the SWSA. The site is presently vacant but the Frederick County School Board is seeking to acquire the tract for use as a future middle school site. The subject site is identified by Property Identification Number 64-A-116, is zoned B2 (Business General) District, and is located on Millwood Pike (US Route 50 East), north of Westview Business Center. Sewer and Water currently exists on the south side of Route 50, within the Westview Business Center. Route 37 (Alternative C), as proposed, would cross the site's eastern boundary. The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) considered this request during their meeting on February 11, 2002. The CPPS believed that based on the site's present B2 (Business General) District zoning and its proximity to other commercial and industrial uses, it would be appropriate to include the site in the County's Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). Attached is the information and mapping provided by the applicant and staff. The mapping illustrates the location of the SWSA, the proposed Route 37 alignment, and current zoning in the general vicinity of the subject site. This request will be brought to the Commission as a discussion item; therefore, staff will be seeking the Commission's thoughts and suggestions regarding the request. Staff is available to respond to your questions.

Kent Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: Kathryn M. Perry Property Route 50 East 57.87 Acres Dear Evan, Board of Directors: President: Thomas J. O'Toole, P.E. Vice Presidents: Charles E. Maddox Jr., P.E. Earl R. Sutherland, P.E. Ronald A_ Mislowskv. P E. David J. Saunders_ P.L. Directors: William L. Wright Michael A. }-lammer Thomas W. Prig Thank you for our recent meeting and phone conversation regarding the above referenced tract. This property is zoned B-2 and is under option for purchase by the Frederick County School Board for use in part as a new middle school site. There are three issues which require your assistance prior to clearing this site for use as a school_ First, the site, although zoned B-2, does not exist within but is adjacent to the County's Sewer and Water Service Area. We need to amend the SWSA map to include this site. The attached Figure I shows how this line can be adjusted to service the 57.87 acres. Second, at present, the County Zoning Ordinance does not specifically allow "schools" as a permitted use. The ordinance for B-2 allows public buildings but schools are not specifically mentioned. We know that schools are often included in business zoned areas and we see no good reason why that use should not be included into the list of uses permitted in B-2. Please consider this letter our formal request for "Text Amendment" to the County ordinance in this regard. Finally, the proffers accepted at the time of the 1990 rezoning are at"Mc wed. At this time, the County Comprehensive Plan showed this roadway as a major collector extending into the Senseny Road corridor to the north (see Figure 2). The comprehensive plan has since been revised due to Route 37 and VDOT Greenwood Road (S.R. 656) planning to eliminate this collector roadway. The approved proffer calls for the 4 lane road (items 1-5 of proffer) to be extended 700' into the site during phase one of the development (points A to B). Item 5 of the proffer speaks to the construction of a two lane roadway from B to C as development goes from front to rear (south to north) on the site. Paragraph 1 also offers for dedication of 70' right of way from A to C "upon development" of the trace. 117 East Piccadilly Street, Suite 200, Winchester, Virginia 22601 (540) 667-2139 Fax (540) 665-4493 e-mail l,-vcliff@mnsinc.com Member knerican Consulling Engineers Council —Ubl ert w. ciiffard and associa-tes, it Page 2 The changes we request be made to the proffer are attached. These changes request the right of way dedication from B to C and the need for construction of the 2 lane road be eliminated. The justification is that this road is - not called for extension by the Comprehensive Plan. All other items in the proffer would remain as originally approved. Please advise of any comments you have on our three requests and we would look forward to any instructions you have on the approval sequence for this request.

Camp, Planner II FAX: 540/665-6395 SUBJECT: Discussion Concerning Modifications to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances Pertaining to Site Plan and Subdivision Design Plan Requirements DATE: February 21, 2002 The attached draft amendments concern modifications to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances pertaining to site plan and subdivision design plan requirements. Staff originally proposed these amendment changes to the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) in August of 2001. After a few months of discussion, the DRRS unanimously recommended support of the attached draft amendments in their October 2001 meeting. The proposed text amendments are aimed at eliminating redundancy and improving the review process for site plans and subdivision design plans. The Zoning Ordinance presently requires that all subdivisions, other than single-family subdivisions, submit both a subdivision design plan and a site plan for review and approval. Staff and the DRRS are of the opinion that this requirement is redundant and unnecessary. Therefore, the proposed text amendments would allow just one design plan, so long as all required information is provided. The proposed text amendments would also clarify some of the ambiguities that exist in the current text of the Zoning Ordinance, specifically regarding the information that is needed to be provided on each plan. These changes will assist staff in the review process, as well as, help engineers, land surveyors, and architects prepare site plans and subdivision design plans more proficiently. Please review the proposed draft amendments attached with this memorandum for discussion during the March 6, 2002 Planning Commission Meeting. Changes are proposed to Sections 144-9, 144-12, and 144-36 of the Subdivision Ordinance; and Sections 165-144, 165-145, and 165-146 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Wyatt, Director RE: Discussion Pertaining to Drive -In Lane Requirements DATE: February 21, 2002 Chapter 165-27E of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance provides requirements for the development of parking lots and associated areas. Specifically, Section 165-27E(10) provides requirements for the development of drive-in lanes. Drive-in lanes are required to provide a minimum width of 12 feet; however, the requirements do not specifically address the ability to provide for canopy supports and raised concrete pads for pneumatic tubes and automatic teller machines within this area. The current language provides for drive-in lanes with an excessive width and requires interpretation on the part of the Zoning Administrator if the developer desires to construct canopy supports and raised concrete pads within this area. The attached amendment attempts to address these concerns in an equitable manner. This issue was discussed at the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) in October 2001. The DRRS felt that a minimum width of 12 feet was excessive for drive-in lanes with or without canopy coverage. Staff advised the DRRS that the proposed amendment was reviewed by representatives of the design community including site design engineers and structural design architects to ensure consistency with applicable structural codes, and that those representatives concurred with the proposal. The DRRS recommended that the proposed amendments be forwarded out of committee for discussion and action by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Please find attached the proposed amendments recommended by the DRRS for review and discussion.
