PUBLIC HEARINGS Rezoning Application #007-98 of IDG, L.C., submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C. to rezone 1.0 acres from B1 (Neighborhood Business) to B2 (Business General) District, and 2.58 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to B2 (Business General) District. This property is located on the east side of Front Royal Pike (Rt. 522), 0.72 miles south of Millwood Pike (Rt. 50), and is identified with P.I.N. 64B -A-30 in the Shawnee Magisterial District. Action - Recommended Approval Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of Mav 6, 1998 Page 199 -3 - Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Director, read the background information and review agency comments. He advised that Front Royal Pike has been improved to a five -lane condition in this area to accommodate additional traffic growth. Mr. Wyatt stated that the applicant has proffered the dedication of land that will assist in the development of a major collector road to connect Front Royal Pike to Millwood Pike; the applicant has proffered to develop a buffer along the B 1 District properties that are used for residential purposes; and, the applicant has proffered a monetary contribution to mitigate the capital costs for the Greenwood Fire and Rescue Company that is consistent with the results of the Capital Facilities Impact Model. Mr. Wyatt concluded by stating that the staff believed the request to rezone the 3.58 -acre tract to B2 is appropriate and the applicant has attempted to mitigate potential impacts through the use of the proffer statement. Mr. John Lewis with Painter -Lewis, P.L.C., the design engineering firm representing this application, stated that infrastructure is in place to accommodate the rezoning and 350' of frontage along Route 522 is available for the 3.5 -acre tract. Mr. Lewis believed this would be the first of several rezonings in this area that will be brought before the Commission. There were no public comments. No issues of concern were raised by the Commission. Upon motion made by Mr. Morris and seconded by Mr. Romine, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of Rezoning Application 4007-98 of KDG, L.C., submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C., to rezone 1.0 acres from B1 (Neighborhood Business) to B2 (Business General) and 2.58 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to B2 (Business General) with the proffers submitted and contingent that all review agency comments are addressed. Rezoning Application #008-98 of Oakcrest Builders, Inc., submitted by G. W. Clifford and Associates, Inc. to rezone 25 acres from B2 (Business General) to RA (Rural Areas) District. This property is located at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Millwood Pike (Route 50) and West Parkins Mill Road (Route 644); and is identified with P.I.N. 77-A-26 in the Shawnee Magisterial District. Action - Recommended Approval Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, stated that the applicant did not submit a proffer statement for this rezoning application. Mr. Wyatt said that a proffer statement was submitted with the approval of Rezoning Application #023-89 of Oak -crest Builders, Inc. on January 10, 1990 which contained eight conditions. He stated that the County Attorney did not feel any addendums to the previous proffer statement containing the eight conditions was necessary, based on this proposal. Mr. Wyatt continued, stating that the purpose of this rezoning is to create a five -acre lot for the existing residential structure. He explained that the proposal will not create additional impacts from this property because the five acres cannot be further subdivided for additional residences. He said that staff believes the rezoning is appropriate provided that the dedication of land along West Parkins Mill Road (Route 644) for future right-of-way improvements, as stated in Condition # 1 of the Rezoning Application #023-89 proffer statement, is provided during the platting process for the future five -acre lot. Frederick Countv Planning Commission Minutes of Mav 6, 1998 Page 200 -4 - Mr. Stephen M. Gyurisin with G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., the design engineering firm representing this rezoning, was available to answer questions from the Commission. Commission members inquired if the existing residence had an operative septic system. Mr. Gyurisin replied that it did. Mr. Gyurisin said that Inspector Doug Dailey of the Health Department inspected the septic system and found it to be in good operation. No other areas of concern were raised by the Commission. There were no public comments. Upon motion made by Mr. Wilson and seconded by Mr. Morris, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of Rezoning Application 4008-98 of Oakcrest Builders, Inc., submitted by G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., to rezone 2.5 acres from B2 (Business General) to RA (Rural Areas) contingent that all review agency comments are addressed. PUBLIC MEETING Master Development Plan #002-98 of the Coca-Cola Bottling Facility, submitted by Central Coca-Cola Bottling Company, for the development of a 63.5052 -acre tract to operate a bottling facility. This property is located west of the intersection of Shady Elm Road (Rt. 651) and Apple Valley Road (Route 652) and is identified with P.I.N.s 63-A-58 and 63-A-59 in the Back Creek Magisterial District. Action - Recommended Approval Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, read the background information and review agency comments. Mr. Wyatt stated that the applicant has proposed to disturb the entire 0.06 acres of man-made steep slope on this property to accommodate the construction of the regional stormwater management facility and the earth berm along Apple Valley Road. He said that staff believes the disturbance of this area of steep slope is necessary and will benefit this site and adjoining properties through enhanced stormwater management, and staff would encourage the Commission to forward a favorable recommendation of this waiver to the Board. Mr. Wyatt also stated that the County Engineer has commented that the applicant should provide for stormwater management easements to accommodate the lots within the second phase during the master development plan process. He said that staff believes this information could be demonstrated on the drawing or provided in narrative form, if locations for these easements are not known at this time. Mr. Steve Patton with Triad Engineering; the engineering firm representing the applicant, was available to answer questions from the Commission. Chairman DeHaven called for public comment and the following person came forward to speak: Mr. Lou Bernard with the Bank of Middleburg, the trustee of the Grim Estate, wanted to be Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of Mav 6, 1995 Page 201 INE assured that approval of the master development plan would not negate his company's right to review and come to an agreement on the off-site drainage easement issue. Members of the Commission inquired if there were discussions regarding the signalization at Routes 651/652 and whether the applicant would participate financially if signalization was warranted. Mr. Wyatt responded that according to the proffer statement submitted at rezoning, the signalization issue would be examined and potentially resolved at the site plan review stage; he said that it was agreed that if signalization was warranted at the intersection of Route 11 and Route 652, that Coca-Cola Bottling Company would participate financially. Mr. Morris, the Planning Commission's liaison to the Historic Resources Advisory Board, commended the representatives of the Coca-Cola Company for their willingness to work with the HRAB in discussing issues such as viewsheds and their willingness to work with the HRAB on buffering and screening. Mr. Morris said that the Coca-Cola Company was very amenable to everything the HRAB suggested. Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Wilson, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of Master Development Plan Application #002-98 of the Coca-Cola Bottling Facility, submitted by the Central Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Inc., for the development of a 63.5052 -acre tract to operate a bottling facility, with a waiver of the maximum disturbance requirement for steep slopes to accommodate the construction of the regional storm water management facility and earth berm along Apple Valley Road, that the storm water management issues be addressed on the site development plan, and that all staff, review agency, Planning Commission, and Board of Supervisors comments be adequately addressed. Request for Exemption from the Subdivision Ordinance Requirements, submitted by Benjamin M. Butler, for the possible exemption of the 50' right-of-way requirement to create a family lot division on Long Green Lane. The parcel is presently owned by Glynell Little Headley and is identified by P.I.N. 42-A-256 in the Gairesboro Magisterial District. Action - Recommended Approval Mr. Wilson said that he would abstain from participation in the discussion and the voting of this item, due to a possible conflict of interest. Mr. Eric R. Lawrence, Zoning Administrator, stated that the staff had received a request from Benjamin Butler, on behalf of Glynnell Little Headley, to gain an exemption to the 50' right-of-way width requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance. Mr. Lawrence said that Ms. Headley owns approximately 65 acres just northwest of James Wood High School and she desires to convey 5.36 acres along Long Green Lane to her granddaughter, Gina Headley Wilson, and son-in-law, Troy Wilson, through a family division lot. Mr. Lawrence explained that Long Green Lane is a private road with a variable right-of-way. Mr. Lawrence stated that the Subdivision Ordinance requires that lots be created with a minimum 50' right-of-way width. He said that as Long Green Lane is an existing 15'-20' right-of-way across property owned by others, the request asks that the Board of Supervisors exempt this land division from the 50' Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of May 6, 1998 Page 202 -6 - requirement, so that the existing 15'-20' right-of-way may be utilized. Mr. Lawrence said that based on the location of this land division, the nature of the surrounding properties, and the fact that it is a family division lot, the staff feels the request is reasonable. Mr. Headley was present to answer questions from the Commission. Mr. Headley said that it was not possible to obtain the required 50' right-of-way from adjoining property owners. Mrs. Glynnell Little Headley was also present to voice her endorsement of the request. Planning Commission members stated that the Headleys will be faced with this same issue again with any future land divisions. The Headleys were willing to include a notification on the deed, warning of the perpetual consequences of the lack of a right-of-way. Commission members stated that the notification should state in particular that the road could never be brought up to State standards to be included into the State's system, in its existing format. The Planning Commission's concern was that if the land would pass out of the family at some point in the future, a prospective purchaser should be aware of the situation. Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Thomas, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of the request for exemption from the 50' right-of-way requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance in order to create a family lot division on Long Green Lane by Glynnell Little Headley with the stipulation that a note be attached to the deed explaining the situation with the right-of-way. (Note: Mr. Wilson abstained from this vote.) ADJOURNMENT unanimous vote. No further business remained to be discussed and the meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. by Respectfully submitted, Kris C. Tierney, Secretary Charles S.

Historic Resources Advisory Board: The HRAB recommends a structural height limit of 40 feet, the maintenance of existing tree lines, and the provision of a landscaped earth berm on parcel 42. See attached letter from Jeffrey Everett dated April 23, 1998. County Attorney: Normally, uses are proffered out rather than in. Probably ought to continue to proffer out uses; otherwise, alright. Planning & Zonin2: 1) Site History The applicant obtained the two parcels from Lucy Owens on June 23, 1995, as demonstrated in Deed Book 840, Page 1261. These properties were originally zoned A2 (Agricultural General) District when Frederick County adopted zoning. The properties are currently zoned RA (Rural Areas) District, and have maintained their original acreage. 2) Location The two parcels are located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA), and are part of the acreage within the Route 11 North Corridor Land Use Plan. The Route 11 North Corridor Land Use Plan recommends business use at the intersection of Martinsburg Pike and Old Charles Town Road, and industrial use for properties located on the north side of Old Charles Town Road. The core area of Stephenson's Depot (Second Winchester) is located directly across Old Charles Town Road from the parcels. Other land uses within the proximity of the two parcels includes residential (including a rental house on parcel 41), the Allied Wood Products facility, the Clearbrook Post Office and the Winchester Pentecostal Church. Allied Wood Products, REZ #009-98 Page 3 May 22, 1998 3) Site Suitability The properties do not contain areas of steep slopes, woodlands, wetlands or floodplain. One of the three soil types found on these properties is classified as prime agricultural soil. The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey does not identify any structures of historic significance; however, the survey does identify both properties as potential candidates for inclusion in a historic district due to their relationship with the Stephenson's Depot core area. 4) Potential Impacts a) Traffic: The applicant prepared a traffic impact analysis assuming the future development of 20,000 square feet of manufacturing and 30,000 square feet of warehousing. This development scenario would increase traffic from the Allied Wood Products facility by 223 vehicle trips per day and by 33 vehicle trips per day during a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The applicant has stated that the additional traffic would have a moderate impact on Route 11 by a 2% increase in trip ends. It should be noted that the applicant has not proffered a maximum square footage for this acreage, nor has the applicant proffered to prohibit entrances onto Old Charles Town Road; therefore, additional impacts could be realized. The worst case scenario would allow for the development of 345,500 square feet of manufacturing on this acreage. This scenario would increase traffic from the Allied Wood Products facility by 1,330 vehicle trips per day and by 269 vehicle trips per day during a.m. and p.m. peak hours. This scenario would increase daily trip ends on Route 11 by 14% and peak hour trip ends by 3% based on the 1994 traffic count. Some of these trips could utilize Old Charles Town Road if a future entrance was established. b) Community Facilities and Services: The Capital Facilities Impact Model was applied to this rezoning proposal assuming the development of 345,500 square feet of manufacturing space. The results of this model run demonstrate a negative fiscal impact to fire and rescue services for capital facilities. c) Adjoining Properties: Stephenson's Depot - The core area of Stephenson's Depot (Second Winchester) is located directly across Old Charles Town Road from the parcels proposed for rezoning. The HRAB reviewed this proposal and determined that the primary impact from future development would involve the viewshed. It should be noted that this impact would be from parcel 42 and a minor portion of parcel 41, as the existing grade along Old Charles Town Road creates a Allied Wood Products, REZ #009-98 Page 4 May 22, 1998 significant berm as you travel east. Winchester Pentecostal Church and Residential Uses - The County Engineer has expressed concerns regarding flooding on adjoining properties. The County Engineer believes that the development of a stormwater management facility on the Allied Wood Products site would significantly mitigate this problem. 5) Proffer Statement The applicant has submitted a proffer statement which has been signed, notarized, and reviewed by the County Attorney. The applicant has proffered to limit the use of the two parcels, to limit the heights of all primary and accessory structures on these parcels, to establish a vegetative screen on parcel 42 along Old Charles Town Road, and to provide a monetary contribution to fire and rescue services. STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR 06/03/98 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: The rezoning proposal is consistent with the policies established in the Route 11 North Corridor Land Use Plan. The uses that have been proffered by the applicant are consistent with the current Allied Wood Products operation. The applicant has mitigated the impact to capital facilities for fire and rescue services by proffering a monetary contribution that is consistent with the results of the Capital Facility Impact Model. The applicant has attempted to mitigate the impacts to the Stephenson's Depot historic resource by limiting structural heights and developing a vegetative screen along the frontage of lot 42. The applicant did not limit access to Old Charles Town Road; however, access will be severely limited on parcel 41 due to topography constraints from the existing road grade. The Virginia Department of Transportation and the County Engineer will have the ability to require upgrades to the existing entrance and site to ensure that access and drainage are improved for the current site conditions. Staff believes that the applicant has significantly mitigated the impacts that would occur should this rezoning application be approved by the Board of Supervisors.

Painter -Lewis P.C. 302 South Braddock Street, Ste. 200 Winchester, VA 22601 RE: Rezoning Request for 15 acres adjacent to Allied Wood Products Inc. Dear John: We grant our approval for the proposed rezoning subject to the implementation of an approved stormwater management plan. As you are aware, areas downstream of Allied Wood Products, including Wampler Mobile Homes and several residences along Route 664, are experiencing severe flooding. Our approval of the subject rezoning and subsequent development will be contingent upon the implementation of a stormwater management plan which will minimize this downstream flooding. This plan may include, but not be limited to, the construction of an oversized detention basin, and/or installation of adequate channels and/or closed conveyance systems. Based on our site visit on April 3, 1998, and interviews with one of the downstream neighbors, it is apparent that the box culvert and associated piping under Route 664 is inadequate. We will take the initiative to contact VDOT to determine if they can improve these drainage structures in conjunction with the improvements associated with the Allied Wood Products expansion_ Copies of your drainage calculations should be forwarded to VDOT as soon as possible so that they can evaluate the need for new drainage structures under Route 664.

FROM: Jeffrey C. Everett, Planner I QG� RE: HRAB Comments for the Allied Wood Products Rezoning DATE: April 23, 1998 The I-Estoric Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) made several recommendations at their April 21, 1998 meeting in regard to the Allied Wood Products rezoning request for parcels 44-A-41 and 44-A- 42. The HRAB stated that they would like to see the. following reflected in the proffer statement: 1) Forty (40)'foot height limitation on all buildings which are to be built on the subject parcels. 2) No disturbance of existing tree lines on subject parcels. 3) Four (4) foot tall earth berm which is four (4) feet in width to be placed along Old Charles Town Road on parcel 44-A-42. On top of this berm, the HRAB would like to see landscape screening that is consistent with Section 165-37 B. (1) of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. In particular, the HRAB recommends that the following language from this section be adhered to: "There shall be a minimum landscaping density of three (3) plants per ten (10) linear feet, and they shall beat least four (4) feet in height at n1anting and intended to rearb. a pni_ ,,.., t;eioht of six (6) feet at maturity. There shall be at least three (3) species of plants, with the majority being evergreens and at least one-third (113) being deciduous. " No buffering or screening is recommended for parcel 44-A-41 since the steep elevation of Old Charles Town Road already achieves that objective' The HRAB stated that the purpose of the above recommendations is to protect the viewsheds of the Stephenson's Depot Battlefield. 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-000 Rezoning #009-98 PIN: 44—A-41 & 42 Allied Wood Products Produced by Frederick County Planning and Development, 05-19-98 REZONING APPLICATION FORM FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA 7`o be completed by.

INTRODUCTION The subject property consists of two parcels containing a total of approximately 14 acres. The property is located on Route 761, Old Charles Town Road, approximately 600 feet east of US Route 11. The property is zoned RA. Exhibit 1 shows the location of the property. Parcel 44-A-42 is currently vacant. Parcel 44-A-41 is currently used as a residence for an employee of Allied Wood Products. The property is ajacent to the operations of Allied Wood Products which manufactures finished wood products. The operations of Allied Wood Products requires additional space for storage and curing of its finished goods and therefor, the Owner desires to rezone the entire 13.96 acres to M1, Light Industrial District. According to the 1997 Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan, the property is within the Sewer and Water Service Area. The proximity of the property to Route 11 and Interstate Route 81 makes it highly desirable for commercial development. The intended purpose for the rezoning of the subject parcels is to allow the expansion of the existing manufacturing facilities of Allied Wood Products. The residence on Parcel 44-A-42 would remain in use as a residential use which is accessory to the proposed M1 use. The owner is willing to restrict the types of development to be allowed on the subject property throught the use of proffers. Please see the Proffer Statement contained in the Appendix. A. SITE SUITABILITY In many respects, the site is well suited for development. The property has over 1000 feet of frontage on Route 761 for access. Public water is in place in the Route 11 right-of-way along other property frontage now owned by Allied Wood Products. The feasibilty of installing public sewer is currently being studied for the area. The site is immeadiatly adjacent to property containing the current operations of Allied Wood Products. 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN FIRM Community Panel Number 510063 0110B shows the parcel is not within designated areas of the 100 year flood. WETLANDS No wetlands have been identified on the site. There is no evidence of hydric soils or plants in significant quantity to warrant delineation of wetlands. STEEP SLOPES ' The property generally slopes to the northeast. The land is generally very flat with poorly defined drainageways. Slopes are generally less than 5.0%. MA TURF WOODLANDS The site is without mature woodlands. page 1 IMPACT ANALYSIS STATr-MENT PARCEL ID: 44-((A))-41 & SOILS According to the Soli Survey of Frederick County, the site contains the following soil types: Carbo-Oaklet-Rock outcrop complex, 2 to 15% slopes, (7C); Frederick Poplimento loams, very rocky, 7 to 15% slopes, (16B); and Swimley silt loam, 2 to 7% slopes, (39B). These soils are part of the Oak] et-Carb o -C hilhowie Association which are gently sloping, moderately deep and formed in material weathered from limestone. The Unified soil classifications are GC, GM, CL -ML, and CL. Soft bedrock can be expected at relatively shallow depths less than 60 inches below the ground surface. There are no critical areas on the site. Swimley silt loam (39B) is classified as prime agricultural soil. B. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES The site to be rezoned is bordered on the north by land zoned RA and being used for the operations of Allied Wood Products and Winchester Pentacostal Church. The adjacent land to the west contains several parcels: Parcel 50 is zoned M1 and is being ussed for the operations of Allied Wood Products; Parcel 49 is zoned RA and is currently used for residential purposes, Parcel 48 is zoned RA and is currently vacant, Parcel 48A is zoned RA and is currently vacant, Parcel 47 is zoned RA and is currently vacant, and Parcel 43 is zoned RA and is used for residential purposes. The land to the south is the Route 761 right-of-way. Across the right-of-way is vacant land zoned RA. This land is generally considered to be a portion of the site of the battle of Stephenson's Depot. The land to the east is the CSXT Railway right-of-way. Across the right-of-way there are two parcel; Parcel 38 is zoned RA and is vacant, Parcel 94A is zoned RA and is used for residential purposes. The adjoining property owner information is listed below. Parcel ID # 44-((A))-54 Cutshaw Enterprises, Inc P. O. Box 2337 Winchester, VA 22604 Parcel ID 9 44-((A))-49 Arnold J.

The intended use for the property is an expansion of the existing finished wood products business. The area has been recently been added to the Frederick County Sanitation Authority sewer and water service area. C. TRAFFIC The properties to be rezoned are approximately 600 feet from the intersection of Route 761 and Route 11. There is no access planned from Route 761 at this time. Access to the site will be from Route 11 through the adjoining properties owned by Allied Wood Products. Route 11 at the site is a three lane road with a center turn lane. Traffic data from the Virginia Department of Transportation for a 1994 count records 7,800 trips per day on Route 11 at Route 761. A 1995 count records 2,239 trips per day on Route 761. Traffic impacts as a result of commercial development of this property can be estimated by assuming the most intensive usage of the site. In this case, the most intensive usage is the establishment of 20,000 square feet of manufacturing and 30,000 square feet of warehousing space on the property. Other, more intensive uses have been restricted by proffer. Please see the Proffer Statement in the Appendix. Vehicle trips are estimated using the ITE Trip Generation Manual, Fifth Edition for the category of "Manufacturing and Warehousing". Traffic impacts can be based on the area -of potential space. For the purposes of this report, trip ends will be estimated from the ITE Manual as follows: Manufacturing: Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF -Weekday: 3.85 x 20 = 77 Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF-A.M. Peak Hour: 0.78x20 = 16 Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF -P.M. Peak Hour: 0.75 x 20 = 15 Warehousing: Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF -Weekday: 4.88 x 30 = 146 Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF-A.M. Peak Hour: 0.57 x 30 = 17 Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF -P.M. Peak Hour: 0.60 x 30 = 18 Total.- Average otal:Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF -Weekday: 77 -1 16 = 223 Average G ehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF-A.Af. Peak Hour: 16 ; 17 = 33 Average Vehicle Trip Ends per 1000 SF -P.M Peak Hour: 15 - 18 = 33 The generation of 223 trips per day from the property would have a moderate impact on traffic movement at the entrance to the business on Route 11. The Virginia Department of Transportation has previously identified the need for the upgrade of the northern entrance to the page 3 IMPACT ANALYSIS STATr''/LENT PARCEL ID: 44-((A))-41 & business coincident with further development. This entrance would likely be required to be reconstructed to meet current commercial entrance standards These issues would have to be addressed during the site planning process. D. SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT There are currently no public sewerage facilities available to serve the site. The current operation of Allied Wood Products is served by a small on site subsurface absorption system. The lack of available sewer service severly restricts the type of development which can be accommodated on the site. The owner anticipate using the subject property for the expantion of lumber drying and storing area. This type of expansion will result in little of no additional need for sewage facilities. E. WATER SUPPLY There are currently public water facilities available to serve the site. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority has a 12" diameter water main running parallel with the eastern right-of-way of Route 11 adjacent to the frontage. As stated under Item D above, the type of expansion anticipated for the site will not create the need for additional water supply. The Frederick County Fire Marshal may require the extension of the water line into the subject property for fire fighting purposes. F. DRAINAGE The site is at the high point of a small drainage area which is defined generally by Route 761 and Route 11. Storm water runoff is generally in the form of sheet flow. There are no well defined drainage swales evident on the property. The CSXT Railway on the eastern boundary of the site was constructed in the center of the main drainage swale of the watershed. There are no permanent or intermittent streams on or near the site. The nearest perennial stream is Hot Run located approximately 4000 feet to the north. An increase in storm water runoff can be expected with any development on the property. Storm water management will be provided in accordance with the Frederick County Code, Chapter 165. It is anticipated that a storm water detention pond will be constructed at the northeast corner of Parcel 54 to serve as detention for the site. In addition, an adequate channel will likely be constructed through the Wampler Mobil Home Park property to receive the discharge from the pond. G. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITIES The nearest solid waste transfer facility is located at the Clearbrook Park approximately 2 miles to the northeast on Route 11. Allied Wood Products contracts with BFI for trash removal. No additional solid waste disposal facilities will be required for the proposed development. The amount of solid waste generated by a manufacturing/warehousing development can be estimated based at 25 pounds per day for the entire site. Tipping fees are $35.00 per ton. Collection fees are $25.00 per ton. The annual cost projected to meet waste disposal needs can be estimated by - page 4 IMPACT ANALYSIS STAT"'11ENT PARCEL ID: 44-((A))-41 & cost = cost per ton of waste x tonnage $273.75 = .S60. 00 x (25 lbs) x (1/2000 lbs/ton) x 365 days/year H. HISTORIC SITES AND STRUCTURES The site contains no known historic sites or structures as listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register. According to the Frederick County Comprehensive Plan Battlefield inventory, the property lies within the commonly accepted limits of the Second Battle of Winchester and Stephenson Depot. The Rural Landmarks Survey Report lists several architecturally or historically significant sites and structures within approximately one mile of the site. Please refer to Exhibit 4. The Rural Landmarks Srvey Report identifies the subject properties as located in a Potential Historic District. I. COMMUNITY FACILITIES ED UCA TION No impacts to education facilities are anticipated. EMERGENCY SERVICES Police protection is provided by the Frederick County Sheriffs Department. The nearest fire and rescue facility is the Clearbrook Fire and Rescue Company No. 13 located approximately 2.0 miles to the northeast on Route 11. No additional fire and rescue facilities will be required for the area proposed to be rezoned. The Frederick County Capital Facilities Impact Model calculates that the projected capital cost for emergency service facilities attributable to this development is $234.74. PARKS AND RECREA TION The Frederick County Capital Facilities Impact Model calculates that the projected capital cost for public park facilities attributable to this development is $0.00. J. OTHER IMPACTS Interviews with county staff indicate that no additional impacts are required to be addressed. pale 5 IMPACT ANALYSIS STAT"°TENT PARCEL ID: 44-((A))-41 & IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT APPENDIX item EXHIBIT i LOCATION MAP 1 EXHIBIT 2 PROPERTY MAP 2 EXHIBIT 3 SITE MAP 3 EXHIBIT 4 HISTORIC STRUCTURES 4 EXHIBIT 5 FISCAL IMPACT MODEL 5 EXHIBIT 6 CURRENT TAX STATEMENT - 6 EXHIBIT 7 PROFFER STATEMENT 7 EXHIBIT 8 PROPERTY DEED 8 pale 6 78'g7+30" 749000-E.

Lawrence, Zoning Administrator fl__ SUBJECT.- Request for Variation to the Subdivision Ordinance DATE: May 22, 1998 Staff has received a request from Mr. David Hicks, Hicks' Contracting, for a variation from the Subdivision Ordinance's minimum lot size requirement. This request is in regard to Chapter 144, Section 31.0 of the County Code that requires a minimum lot size of five acres. Chapter 144, Section five enables the Board of Supervisors to allow for variations to the Subdivision Ordinance requirements in cases of unusual situations. The land parcel under consideration is located on Light Road (Route 685) in the Gainesboro Magisterial District. It is further identified by Property Identification Number (PIN) 20 -A -32A. The County has traditionally practiced that state roads create a division of land. For example, if a state road divides a 20 -acre parcel, the County would allow for that 20 acre parcel to be viewed as two separate lots. The state road essentially divided the 20 -acre parcel in two. Mr. Hicks purchased 2.2 acres from the 19.775 -acre parent tract based on the understanding that a state road creates the land division. Staff concurred with this interpretation, as the 2.2 acres was separated from the remaining 17.57 -acre parent tract by State Route 685. The 17.57 acres is rolling pasture; the 2.2 acres is densely wooded. The diverse landscape, in addition to the state road, creates a natural division of this 19.775 -acre parcel. When utilizing this state road division technique, a 2.2 -acre lot is created. The ordinance requires a five -acre minimum lot size; therefore, it is necessary to gain the Board of Supervisors' approval for a variation to this five -acre requirement. Staff feels that the variation would be appropriate in this situation, and is available to address your concerns. ERL/cc Attachment U:\ERIC\CO\4MOMSUBDI VIS\HICKS. W AV 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 May 20, 1998 I am requesting a variation to the Subdivision Ordinance to enable the creation of a 2.2 acre lot.

Ruddy, Planner II ,__� SUBJECT: Winchester Area Transportation Study (WATS) Plan Adoption DATE: May 26, 1998 The final draft of the Winchester Area Transportation Study (WATS) Year 2020 Transportation Plan has been reviewed by VDOT and forwarded to Frederick County for local action. Publication of WATS will then follow upon the inclusion of any appropriate text deemed suitable by the local governing body as a condition of the local action. For the Planning Commission's review, staff has enclosed a copy of the final draft. Staff will also present the WATS Study at the Planning Commission's meeting; after which, a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors would be appropriate. As you are aware, the WATS transportation plan describes the long-range transportation recommendations for the Winchester Area. These recommendations are based on a thorough evaluation of existing transportation conditions, the development and implementation of a computerized model that determines the transportation impacts of year 2020 projected land use growth, and an analysis of future travel behavior within the study area. It is evident that the existing roadway system in the study area does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate area travel demands in the year 2020. The WATS plan offers many long-range transportation solutions. It is stars belief that the many transportation issues affecting the County, in particular at the Route 647/277 intersection, have been suitably addressed and that the resulting plan provides an excellent framework for future transportation planning in Frederick County. The WATS plan was developed through a joint effort of the Virginia Department of Transportation and Frederick County, the City of Winchester, and the Town of Stephens City. 107 North Kent Street - Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Year Proposed Estimated Estimated Length 2020 Typical Cost 121 ROW 131 Route Name From To (miles) ADT Section 1 (,000) (feel) Remarks 81 0.50 miles south of Route 277 Route 37 South 3.50 91,200 16 $21,700 220 Widen to 6 lanes 81 Route 37 South Routes 17/50 3.43 64,800 16 $22,000 220 Widen to 6 lanes 81 Routes 17/50 Route 7 1.94 98,900 16 $12,400 220 Widen to 6 lanes 81 Route 7 Route 11 North 2.31 93,600 16 $14,800 220 Widen to 6 lanes 81 Route 11 North 0.50 miles north of Route 37 North 1.50 63,700 I6 $8,900 220 Widen to 6 lanes 81 Upgrade interchange at Route 277 -

Frederick County, and the Town of Stephens City. The study area includes the C" of Winchester. the Town of Stephens Cine and the urbanizing portions of Frederick County. This vansportarion plan da„mem descnb" the long-range transportation recommendations for the Winchester ama. This WATS transportation plan was developed with extensive involvemont from kxai govemmem offciais ami stall as well as inim from the general public at kev mdcsto— in the development of the plan. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY Continuing growth and development in the Winch"ter arca will result in increased demands on the area's transportation system. The WATS planning process was muuted to develop a comprehensive set of transportation solutions that will accommodate prolected travel demands to the year 2020. The std, covered madway. transit, bievele. and pedestrian improvementl. and addressed the mierucnon of the madwav syslem with truck. rail. and ;fir travel. it \TS w as developed based on m asessment ol',:xi ting trnnsportauon conditions through roadway inventories. traffic counts. and travel surveys. Following —ordination with local government planning agcncics, n computerized 113 --ninon model uta. developed to astertim the transportation impact ofycar _11'11 - reelcd land use growth. Analysts til' Inure rmsel behavior within the Muds ,mea pr—ded the basis fir developing this Ione -range transportation plan. RECOMMENDED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS The existing madwav system in the Winchester study area docs not have sufficient capacity to accommodate arca travel demands in the year 2020. A number of study area roadways were also identified as requinng improvements based on existing geometric. rather than capacity, needs. The long-range madwav improvements recommended for the Winchester arca include: I. Upgrading existing facilities through improvement to madwav alignment; 2. Widening existing facilities and J. Construction of new fhcilities. Each of the recommended impmvcmeots is shown on the map on the reverse side of this docvm"L More detailed information on these recommendations is included in the table below. OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION Transit: The City of Winchester has operated and funded the Winchester Transit. System since the 1950'5. The short-range component of WATS provided a number of recommendations for improving transit smite and increasing ridership through improved marketing, as well as enhancements to the flexibility of the smite through the purchase of smalkr bus" and increased demand -responsive services. sices. Bicycle Facilities: A separate bicycle plan that includes both short- and long-range recommendations was developed by the Winch"ter-Frederick County Bicycle Plan Advisory Committee. All .(the WATS st adv area is included in the area covered by this bicycle plan. The bicycle plan was developed to provide bicycle system connectivity to major trip generators and atuactons such as schools, recreational, historic, ImMil. and government areas, Pedestrian Facilities: Pedestrian trawl. like bicycle travel, can be encouraged through the provision of* connected system of safe and attractive facilities. The provision of sidewalks should be considered as pan of local land use planning by preserving sufficient rightsol=way along roadways recommended for improvement. At the desiLn stage, roadway plans should incorporate sidewalks, where possible, in urbanized areas and in areas adjacent to schools, parks, and ma(or retail areas. Truck. Rail. and Air Transportation: The WATS roadway improvement recommendation will increase access and safety for goods movement by truck on the madwav system, and will provide improved access and safety between the roadway system and local rail and air facilities. Particular areas of concem noted through interviews with trucking firms in the Winchester area have been addressed through the WATS recommendations. WATS recommendations will also provide impmvcd access to the Winchester Airport and decrease the level of interaction between =for vehicles and the railroad lines in the study area, CTTT2EN PARTICIPATION A Steering Committee consisting of representatives from the City of Winchester, Frederick County, the Town of Stephens City, and the Virginia Department of Transportation was formedat the outset of this study. This Committee directed the development of WATS at the policy level. Technical coordination with local planning agencies from each local govemmeol. as well as the Virginia Department of Transportation, was provided by a separate study Technical Committee. Study Committee meetings were held at key milestone dates and were open to the general public and the press. A public information meeting was held in June of 1995 and a final public information meeting was held on January ?0, 1998. Public comments weresolicited at each of these meetings. with any resulting changes to the WATS recommendations made with the approval of the Study Committee. PLAN ADOPTION The Transportation Plan was adopted by resolution of the Winch"ter City Council on — The Frederick County Board of Supmisors adopted the Plan on On , the Town of Stephens City also adopted the recommendation of WATS.
