Before making any final comments, this office will require a complete set of site plans, drainage calculations and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, Sixth Edition, for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right-of-way needs, including right-of- way dedications, traffic signalization, and off-site roadway improvements and drainage. Prior Oakdale Crossing II, MDP #01-99 Page 2 February 5, 1999 to construction on the State's right-of-way, the developer will need to apply to this office for issuance of appropriate permits to cover said work. See attached letter from VDOT to G. W. Clifford dated 11/30/98. Note: No further subdivision beyond Phase I shall occur until a revised master development plan is approved for future master development plan phases. Sanitation Authority: First review - approved as noted; three items. No comment on revised plan. Inspections Dept.: No comment required at this time. Shall comment at the time of subdivision lot review. Fire Marshal: Plan approval recommended. County Engineer: Designate stormwater management areas within proposed development area. On-site detention will be required for this development. The proposed MDP indicates a connection to Underwood Drive. The existing road (Underwood Drive) may require improvements because of the anticipated increase in traffic. These improvements should be coordinated with VDOT. Parks & Recreation: No comment. City of Winchester: No comments. Planning Department: Project History: The original Zoning Map for Frederick County depicts the two tracts as R-2, Residential General District (U. S. G. S. Winchester Quadrangle). The zoning classification for these properties was amended on September 28, 1983 when the RP (Residential Performance) District replaced the R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-6 Districts. Project Scope: The applicant proposes to develop single-family detached traditional dwelling units within various phases on the 153.92 -acre site. This housing type requires a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet, and does not require curb and gutter streets, sidewalks, streetlights, or common open space. It should be noted that the proposed master development plan calls for the provision of curb and gutter streets and streetlights which is consistent with the design of Oakdale Crossing II, MDP #01-99 Page 3 February 5, 1999 the Oakdale Crossing subdivision. The intent of this master development plan is to satisfy the requirements for the development of 21.49 acres of the 153.92 -acre site. This acreage, identified as Phase I Area, is accessible via Huntersridge Road and Fairfield Drive through the Oakdale Crossing subdivision. Discussions with the applicant indicate that there will be a maximum of 50 residential lots platted within the Phase I Area which creates an overall gross density of 2.3 units per acre. The acreage within the Phase I Area does not contain environmentally or historically significant areas; however, it should be noted that areas of steep slope and woodlands exist on the 153.92 -acre site. The applicant has incorporated a narrative within the proposed master development plan which would require approval of a subsequent master development plan by the Board of Supervisors prior to the development of the 132.44 acres outside of the Phase I Area. The applicant has provided a general road layout for the entire site to demonstrate the ability to connect this development with land to the west which is zoned RP (Residential Performance) District, as well as to demonstrate the intent of providing a segment of the major collector road system which will connect Millwood Pike (Route 50 East) with Senseny Road (Route 657), as is called for in the Winchester Area Transportation Study and the Comprehensive Policy Plan's Eastern Road Plan. Issues: No issues or items of concern were raised by the various review agencies or staff during the review of this proposed master development plan. STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 02/17/99 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The proposed master development plan for the 21.49 -acre Phase I Area is consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Approval of this plan should be contingent upon the applicant's ability to adequately address all comments or concerns of the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, as well as any technical comments of all review agencies.

Before making any final comments, this office will require a complete set of site plans, drainage calculations, and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, Sixth Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right-of-way needs including right-of-way dedications, traffic signalization, and off-site roadway improvements and drainage. Prior to construction on the State's right-of-way, the developer will need to apply to this office for issuance of the appropriate permits to cover said work. The following are early concerns which should be addressed by proffer at the site plan stage: 1. The intersection at Crestleigh Drive and Route 657 (Senseny Road) should address owner willingness to participate in potential signalization if VDOT uncovers warrants for signalization. Two additional intersections at Boundary Avenue and Route 1214 (Underwood Lane) should be studied to determine impact build up resulting from this proposed plan. Please consider future need to improve Route 1214 (Underwood Lane). 2. The proposed access point should be relocated to align with Laurel Wood Drive or moved east to divide distance between Laurel Wood Drive and Underwood Lane. 3. Route 657 (Senseny Road) and Route 50 traffic volumes should be shown as either estimates of volumes as shown or actual counts taken to provide sufficient input to determine impact of proposed plan on VDOT facilities. 4, Consideration of access onto Route 50 should be given to more evenly distribute volumes to the higher class of road.

Ruddy, Planner II Subject: 1999 Primary Road Improvement Plan Date: February 5, 1999 Enclosed is the Draft 1999 Frederick County Primary Road Improvement Plan for review by the Planning Commission. The purpose ofthis plan is to advise the Commonwealth Transportation Board of the funding priorities for the Primary Road System in Frederick County. Frederick County representatives will be attending the 1999 Pre -allocation Hearing on Friday, March 19, 1999 at the Augusta County Government Center to present this plan to the Commonwealth Transportation Board. The plan presented to you maintains the same priorities that were presented in the 1998 plan; however, upon recommendation of the Transportation Committee, the Route 11 South project has been revised to ensure improvements from the City line to an interchange with Route 37, either at Route 11 or Route 651, and, the Interstate 81 project has an additional priority, the reconstruction of the Route 669 bridge over I-81. This is at exit 323. Staff asks that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation that will be considered by the Board of Supervisors. 107 North Kent Street 9 Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 PREFACE The 1999 Primary Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County, Virginia continues to focus on the development of a new limited access arterial corridor and improvements to existing major and minor arterial systems within the county's Urban Development Area.

Ruddy, Planner II ,t -,se Subject: Route 647, Aylor Road, Typical Section Date: February 5, 1999 On January 12, 1999, I attended a meeting coordinated by VDOT regarding the Route 647, Aylor Road Improvement project. At this meeting staff was asked by VDOT to determine the typical section of the road and if it is the County's desire to provide sidewalks and bike lanes in association with this improvement project. Ultimately, VDOT is looking for direction from the Board of Supervisors in this matter. Staff asks that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation that will be considered by the Board of Supervisors. VDOT has forwarded several alternatives for the typical section and alignment based upon input from VDOT and County Officials. Staff will present the information provided by VDOT during the Planning Commission Meeting. In anticipation of the meeting, I will be discussing the improvement project with representatives of the school system to obtain their input. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this memorandum. 107 North Rent Street 0 Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Route 647, Aylor Road Improvement Project Issues, Staff has identified the following issues that should be evaluated when considering the typical section that would be appropriate for the improvement of Route 647, Aylor Road: The Comprehensive Plan. • The transportation section of the Comprehensive Plan encourages the provision of a full range of transportation options and the provision of appropriate routes for pedestrian and bicycles in urban and suburban areas. • Among other things, `smart development' encourages people to take alternative modes of transportation, balances the safety and quality of the. transportation network for all users, reduces the reliance on the car for every trip, and preserves a locality's investment in road infrastructures. Existing and Proposed Activity Generators in the vicinity of Aylor Road • The Bass Hoover Elementary School, Aylor Middle School, Sherando High School, Sherando Park, and the proposed Frederick County Branch of the Handley Library. • Numerous large residential subdivisions, a church, and various neighborhood business and general business ventures. Bass Hoover Elementary School • The project should promote pedestrian and bike access to school and park grounds. • Sidewalks should be provided along both sides of the road in front of the school and the Greenbriar subdivision. • Provide a safe area for pedestrian crossing. This may most likely be at the entrance to the facility, directly across from Raven Road. This would allow for safe access to the school and grounds during the school year and in the summertime. • Impact on the existing T -ball fields and two backstops adjacent to existing Route 647. They would have to be shifted to the south, closer to the walking track. • No reduction of recreational area for students as the school only uses the area to the rear of the property • The potential exists for regrading a low swampy area in the vicinity of the relocated road as part of the project. This would improve storm water management, increase the recreational area and provide for the relocated T -ball backstops. Little League • Relocation of T -ball fields and backstops that are currently used by Little League at Bass Hoover Elementary School. Parks and Recreation. 0 There will be no direct impact to Frederick County Parks and Recreation. Route 647, Aylor Road Improvement Project - (Continued). Public Works. • There will be no significant impact to wooded area adjacent to Bass Hoover Elementary School that is owned by Frederick County. This area may in the future be used by Parks and Recreation / Schools to allow for additional recreation areas. Alternative Typical Sections Forwarded by VDOT Alternative One which provides for the following within a fifty -three-foot right-of-way: • Two eleven -foot travel lanes and a twelve -foot center left turn lane. • A sidewalk space along each side of the road. Alternative Two which provides for the following within a sixty -three-foot right-of-way: • Two eleven -foot travel lanes and a twelve -foot center left turn lane. • A five foot bike lane, within the pavement, along each side of the road. • A sidewalk space along each side of the road. Alternative Three which provides for the following within a seventy -three-foot right-of-way: • Two eleven -foot travel lanes and a twelve -foot center left turn lane. • A ten foot bike lane, within the pavement, along each side of the road. • A sidewalk space along each side of the road. Recommended Typical Section. Staff would recommend Alternative Two which provides for the following within a sixty -three- foot right-of-way: ID • Two eleven -foot travel lanes and a twelve -foot center left turn lane. • A five foot bike lane, within the pavement, along each side of the road. • A sidewalk space along each side of the road. In addition, Staff would recommend the provision of sidewalks as follows: • Along the eastern side of Aylor Road throughout the project. • Along the western side of Aylor Road in front of the Greenbriar Subdivision • Along the western side of the relocated section of Aylor Road.

Lawrence, Zoning Administrator lb SUBJECT: Discussion: Amendment Establishing Reduced Front Yard Setbacks for Protective Entrance Canopies DATE: February 5, 1999 Staff has received a request from Mr. Stephen Gyurisin, G.W. Clifford & Associates, to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow the placement of protective entrance canopies and associated support structures within the front yard setback areas. In particular, uses that might utilize this proposed amendment include funeral homes, schools, churches, day care facilities, and libraries' Background Currently, canopies associated with retail petroleum pumps are permitted to be located within front yard setbacks. The fuel pumps have a setback requirement of 20 feet; the canopy has a setback of five feet. Parking lot setbacks for most uses are five feet from road right-of-ways. Proposal It is staffs belief that allowing certain uses that utilize canopy structures to encroach front yard setbacks maybe appropriate. The typical front yard setback is either 3 5 or 50 feet from road right-of- ways, depending on the road's classification. Therefore, staff would propose that a canopy setback of 20 feet be considered. This 20 -foot setback would essentially allow for a canopy to cover what would commonly be parking spaces or driveways. The 20 -foot setback would also maintain an area that would be structure -free; future road widening projects would not be complicated by the placement of structures within the areas necessary to expand right-of-ways. Proposed Amendment: 107 North Kent Street - Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Proposed Amendment Page 2 February 5, 1999 The Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) reviewed this request during their January 28, 1999 meeting. They endorsed the proposal. This proposal is presented to you for discussion. If the Commission is comfortable with the proposed amendment, staff will schedule a public hearing. Thank you. U:\Enc\Common\DRRS\canopies.pc. discussion. wpd To: Mr. Eric Lawrence, Zoning Administrator From: Stephen M. Gyurisin CC: DR&R Subcommittee Date: 01/08/99 Re: Zoning Ordinance Amendment We would ask that the DR&R Subcommittee consider the following change to the zoning ordinance to allow protective entrance canopies to extend into the front setback area along road right-of-ways. Currently such canopies when attached to a structure are part of the structure and must meet the setback requirement of the particular zone, generally either 35 or 50 feet. Gas pump canopies are exempt and may be located within 5 feet of the right-of-way as long as the support columns and pumps are 20 feet from the right-of-way. The following change is suggested: 0 Page 1 ZONING CHAPTER 165 165-23. SETBACK REQUIREMENTS F. EXTENSION INTO SETBACK YARDS THE FOLLOWING FEATURES MAY EXTEND INTO SETBACK YARDS AS DESCRIBED: 7.

Canopy support columns shall be located at least twenty (20) feet from any road right-of-way. Entrance canopies shall be no closer than five (5) feet to the lot line.
