Mr. Eric R. Lawrence, Zoning Administrator, reported that there were no outstanding review
agency comments. He said the Health Department stated that only occupants of the house on the property are
to be employed at the business and there are to be no outside employees; and secondly, the garage building is to
be located no further towards the rear of the lot than shown on Mr. Bloomer's sketch because of encroachment
on the drainfield.
Mr. Lawrence stated that public garages without auto body repair are permitted in the RA
Zoning District with an approved CUP provided that all repair work takes place entirely within an enclosed
structure and all exterior storage of parts and equipment is fully screened from view from any adjoining property.
Mr. Lawrence said that the proposed building is intended to be placed close to the southern property line, possibly
impacting the adjoining property to the south. He added that the visual impact of the proposed garage may be
mitigated with the assistance of a landscape screen. Mr. Lawrence read the staff's recommended conditions.
Mr. Boyd L. Bloomer, the applicant, was present.
There were no citizen comments.
No areas of concern were raised by the Commission.
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 Conditional Use Permit #006-98 of Boyd L. Bloomer for a public garage without body repair at 4784
Martinsburg Pike with the following conditions:
1. All repair work shall take place entirely within an enclosed structure.
2. All exterior storage of parts and equipment shall be screened from the view of surrounding properties
by an opaque fence or screen at least five (5) feet in height. This fence or screen shall be adequately
maintained.
3. Any proposed signs shall satisfy the Cottage Occupation sign requirement.
4. No more than five vehicles awaiting repair shall be located externally to the garage. Vehicles awaiting
repair must be screened from the adjoining property to the south. Adequate screening will consist of
evergreen trees (four -feet high at time of planting), planted no more than (8) eight feet apart.
5. No inoperative vehicles shall be allowed on the property at any time.
6. All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
7. Any expansion of the business shall require a new Conditional Use Permit.
Conditional Use Permit #007-98 of Ricky Lee Pitts for a public garage without body repair. This
property is located at 4445 Back Mountain Road and is identified with P.I.N. 58-1-1 in the Back Creek
Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Conditions
Mr. Michael T. Ruddy, Planner II, reported that the only outstanding review agency comment
was from VDOT. He stated that VDOT had significant concerns with the sight distances at the entrance to the
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of October 7, 1998 Page 249

property and could not recommend approval without the removal of vegetation along the Back Mountain Road
(Route 600) right-of-way. Mr. Ruddy explained that Mr. Pitts removed the vegetation and VDOT re -inspected
the property, however, site distance remained an issue at the existing location. Mr. Ruddy said that VDOT is
in agreement with relocating the entrance directly adjacent to the northern property line in conjunction with
regrading the embankment to achieve minimum site distances. He said that these measures will satisfy VDOT's
initial concern, however, the entrance will still need to be constructed to VDOT's minimum commercial
standards.
Mr. Ruddy continued, stating that public garages without auto body repair are permitted in the
RA Zoning District with an approved conditional use permit provided that all repair work takes place entirely
within an enclosed structure and all exterior storage of parts and equipment is fully screened from view from any
adjoining property. He said that the requested activity will occur within an existing building which is adjacent
to property owned by a hunt club. Mr. Ruddy explained that this property is heavily wooded; and, in addition,
locating parts, equipment, and vehicles to the rear of the garage, and implementing required screening, will
minimize the impact of any activity of the Pitts' site on the adjoining properties. Mr. Ruddy read the staff's
recommended conditions, which included an additional condition concerning the relocation of the entrance.
Mr. Ricky Lee Pitts, the applicant, was present. When asked by Chairman DeHaven if he was
comfortable with the recommended conditions, Mr. Pitts said that he was.
There were no public comments.
No Issues of concern. YY ere raised by the �Vniim icisivn.
Upon motion made by Mr. Romine and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit 4007-98 of Ricky Lee Pitts for a public garage without body repair at 4445
Back Mountain Road with the following conditions:
1. All repair work shall take place entirely within an enclosed structure.
2. All exterior storage of parts and equipment shall be screened from the view of surrounding properties
by an opaque fence or screen at least five (5) feet in height. This fence or screen shall be adequately
maintained.
3. Any proposed signs shall satisfy the Cottage Occupation sign requirements.
4. No more than five vehicles awaiting repair shall be located externally to the garage. Vehicles awaiting
repair must be located to the rear of the building.
5. No inoperative vehicles shall be allowed on the property at any time.
6. All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
7. Any expansion of the business shall require a new Conditional Use Permit.
8. The entrance to the garage shall be located adjacent to the northern property line and the embankment
along Route 600 shall be regraded to accommodate the minimum sight distances required by VDOT.

Conditional Use Permit #008-98 of Meade's Family Day Home, submitted by Winona M. Clark, for a day
care facility. This property is located at 150 Twine Lane and is identified with P.I.N. 26 -A -34A in the
Gainesboro Magisterial District.
Action - Tabled for 30 Days
Mr. Eric R Lawrence, Zoning Administrator, stated that the Fire Marshal raised two significant
concerns regarding the operation of a day care facility at this location: 1) The residence had no defined driveway
and the closest road is approximately 150 feet from the dwelling; this would not allow adequate fire and rescue
access. 2) Remains of a burnt-out dwelling exist on the property which presents a safety hazard for children; this
should be secured or razed.
Mr. Lawrence said that day care facilities are permitted in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District
with an approved Conditional Use Permit. He added that the staff believed that the establishment of the business
would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding neighborhood. Mr. Lawrence stressed, however, that the
issue at hand is the safety of the children utilizing the proposed facility, in light of the Fire Marshal's comments.
Ms. Winona M. Clark, the applicant, and Mrs. Shirley Meade, Ms. Clark's mother and business
partner, came forward to answer questions from the Commission.
Commissioner Miller asked Ms. Clark what steps she had taken to take care of the Fire
Marshal's concerns. Ms. Clark said that she had not yet pursued those. Commissioner Miller asked if there was
anything in place to prevent children from going to the abandoned, burned -out house. Ms. Clark replied, not at
this time, but she planned to fence the area. She explained that the abandoned, burned -out house is approximately
200 feet from the proposed day care residence. Mrs. Clark said that both the Gore Fire Company and the Capon
Bridge Fire Company are within three miles on Route 50 and serve her residence.
Commissioner Ours inquired if Ms. Clark had made application to the State Social Services
agency for a license and if so, had she received the license yet. Ms. Clark replied that they had made application,
but had not yet received a license.
Commissioner Copenhaver said that the Health Department report stated that food service would
be limited to snacks only; she asked Ms. Clark if she could elaborate. Ms. Clark said that the children will have
to bring their own lunches, as she is not permitted by the Health Department to make lunches. Ms. Clark said
that she will, however, provide wholesome snacks.
In response to a question about the hours of operation, Mrs. Meade said they have not yet
determined hours of operation; they were trying to determine community needs. Some Commissioners were also
concerned about clients' vehicles creating a disturbance for adjoining residences. Ms. Clark said that vehicles
coming and going would not be near enough to any residences to cause a disturbance. She explained that an
automobile sales lot was across the front of the property, she lived to the rear, and the only other residence was
a distance to the west.
Commission members expressed concern that there were some loose ends dangling with this
conditional use permit application. Mr. Miller moved to table the application for 30 days, until the concerns of
the Fire Marshal were taken care of. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wilson.

9 Me
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby table, by a majority vote,
Conditional Use Pen -nit Application #008-98 of Meades' Family Day Home for 30 days in order to give the
applicant an opportunity to satisfy the concerns of the Fire Marshal.
This vote was as follows:
YES (TO TABLE): Miller, Stone, Ours, Thomas, Romine, Wilson, Marker, Copenhaver
NO: Light, Morris, DeHaven
Rezoning Application #012-98 of Thomas A Grove, submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C., to rezone 6.08
acres from RA (Rural Areas) to MI (Light Industrial). This property is located on the south side of
Airport Road (Rt. 645) near the Winchester Regional Airport and is identified with P.I.N. 64-A-39 in the
Shawnee Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Proffers
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, read the background information and review
agency comments. He stated that the property is located in the County's Urban Development Area and Sewer
and Water Service Area, and is also identified in the Comprehensive Policy Plan as a component of the Route 50
East Corridor Land Use Study and as a component of the Airport Support Area. Mr. Wyatt said that the rezoning
is consistent with the policies established in the Comprehensive Policy Plan and is in conformance with the
development patterns depicted in the Route 50 East Corridor Land Use Plan and the Airport Support Area. He
added that the language within the proffer statement mitigates the impacts associated with this rezoning proposal.
Mr. John Lewis of Painter -Lewis, P.L.C., the firm representing Mr. Thomas Grove, the owner,
was present to answer questions from the Commission.
There was some discussion between the applicant and the Commission concerning the amount
of land the Winchester Regional Airport needs to relocate Airport Road (Rt. 645) as part of their ongoing land
acquisition project. No other issues of concern were raised by the Commission.
There were no public comments.
Upon motion made by Mr. Ours and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Rezoning Application #012-98 of Thomas A. Grove, submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C., to rezone
6.008 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to M1 (Light Industrial).

Rezoning #013-98 of Curtis L. Braithwaite, submitted by Ebert and Associates, to rezone 38.867 acres
from RA (Rural Areas) to RP (Residential Performance). The parcels are located at 263 and 261 Sunset
Drive, and are identified with P.I.N.s 65-1-B and 65-1-B1 in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Denial
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, read the background information and review
agency comments. He stated that the property is located within the County's Urban Development Area and the
Sewer and Water Service Area. Mr. Wyatt said that the staff believes that the conditions specified in the
applicant's proffer statement reasonably mitigate the impacts to adjoining properties, the impacts to the road
systems and to County facilities and services; however, the proffer statement does not provide for the protection
of the historic resource on this property. Mr. Wyatt noted that language could be incorporated into the proffer
statement which would require property owners to obtain County approval if they desired to modify or raze the
historic Ford -Braithwaite House.
There were a couple concerns raised by the Commission concerning the proffer statement. One
was whether the historic Ford -Braithwaite house could be placed on a separate lot, by itself, the second was that
the proffer did not specifically state that the applicant would participate in the cost of a traffic signal at the
Senseny Road -Sunset Drive intersection, but only that the applicant would execute an agreement with VDOT.
Commission members believed that statement needed to be tied down. Another question raised was what
improvements were planned for Sunset Drive.
Mr. Wyatt stated that the applicant's general development plan indicates the Ford -Braithwaite
House is to be placed on one of the 70 building lots; however, the issue is that there is no control to preserve it
further than that. He said there was nothing to prohibit a subsequent property owner from modifying or razing
the structure.
Mr. Norman Sparks, design specialist with VDOT, came forward to explain about the various
agreements VDOT enters into with developers on co -sponsorships for signalization. He noted that the developer
pays a percentage of the installation which is based on the volume of traffic. Mr. Sparks said that the existing
pavement width on Sunset, which varies between 20'-22', would remain the same. He said that VDOT was only
requiring a 2" plant mix overlay.
Chairman DeHaven called for public comment and the following persons came forward to speak:
Mr. Michael E. Effler, a 24 -year resident of Sunset Drive, spoke of several concerns. He said
that traveling west on Senseny Road, vehicles crest a hill directly before the Sunset Drive/Senseny Road
intersection. Mr. Effler stressed that this was a bad intersection and he was concerned that the traffic signal
would not materialize for five to ten years from now. His other concern involved fire and rescue; he said that
presently, there are 40 homes along Sunset Drive and an additional 70 residences would present problems for fire
and rescue vehicles and a safety hazard for children. Mr. Effler wanted to know if another access in and out of
the property could be installed.
Ms. Pat Shane, resident at the corner of Sunset Drive and Senseny Road, said that she was also
concerned about traffic at this intersection. She likened the traffic on Senseny Road to that on Interstate 81. Mrs.
Shane said that she has had vehicles end up in her front yard and she has to be very careful about backing out of
her driveway. She was concerned about children getting on and off the school bus and she, too, inquired if
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of October 7, 1998 Page 253
-8 -
another access to the subdivision could be established.
Mr. Charles E. Dunn, a 37 -year resident of Sunset Drive, was still hoping for a traffic signal at
Greenwood and Senseny Roads and he said that marry accidents have occurred here in the past year. He said that
Sunset Drive cannot handle the existing traffic and he could not imagine adding 70 additional homes. Mr. Dunn
said that a lot of children play along Sunset Drive and there should be a sidewalk for pedestrian safety.
Mrs. Brenda Effler, resident on Sunset Drive, was concerned about safety for the area children,
especially when they board and exit school buses. Mrs. Effler explained that school buses do not go down Sunset
Drive; the buses unload children directly out on Senseny Road. Mrs. Effler asked if the Commission could wait
for the results of VDOT's latest traffic study of the Greenwood intersection before approving these additional
homes.
Mrs. Patricia Dunn, resident on Sunset Drive, said that 35 years ago she tried to get the school
bus to come down Sunset Drive for her child. She believed the reason they wouldn't was because the cul-de-sac
was not large enough for buses to turn around. Mrs. Dunn was concerned that her property would become a
short-cut for people from the new homes into her area. She suggested Sulphur Spring Road as a second access
to the Braithwaite property.
Mr. Charles Mason, resident at 181 Sunset Drive, spoke about the poor sight visibility on
Senseny Road. He said that he was very concerned about the impact of additional traffic onto a road that was
already too dangerous.
Mr. Herbert Michael, a resident at the corner of Senseny and Sunset Roads, said that he met with
the school system's Superintendent of Transportation about getting the school buses to go down Sunset Drive.
He said the Superintendent was concerned that a school bus would not be able to make the turn from Sunset out
onto Senseny quick enough to avoid oncoming traffic. Mr. Michael also inquired about a possible access off of
Sulphur Spring Road.
Ms. Virginia Ballinger, a 29 -year resident of Sunshine Drive, said that she was nearly killed at
the top of the Senseny Road lull. Ms. Ballinger stated that the street was not wide enough to handle the existing
traffic, she felt there should be sidewalks, and she believed another access was necessary.
Mr. Kenneth Webb, a 16 -year area resident, voiced his concern for the safety of children
boarding and exiting school buses. He said that the volume of traffic on Senseny Road was the real issue.
Ms. Jessica Meade, a two-year resident of Sunset Drive, was concerned about safety for the
neighborhood children.
Mr. Arthur Shane, resident at 103 Sunset Drive, regarded the Senseny Road/Sunset Drive
intersection as one of the worst on Senseny Road and he agreed with the other citizens that it was not safe for
school buses to stop here. Mr. Shane said that 70 additional homes will compound the problem. He added that
there should be another access, if the development goes forward.
Ms. Debby Harmon, a 20 -year resident of Sunset Drive, told the Commission that there are no
speed limit signs or "children at play" signs posted along the road and she was worried about the safety of her
children. She said that something needs to be done with the serious situation that exists now, rather than adding
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of October 7, 1998 Page 254
to the problem.
Ms. Carol Mezzatesta, a 29 -year resident of Sunset Drive, stressed to the Commission how
dangerous the existing traffic situation was and she was concerned about adding 70 more homes.
Mr. Benjamin Butler, attorney, stated that he, along with Michael M. Artz of Ebert and
Associates, were representing Mr. Curtis L. Braithwaite, the owner. Mr. Butler said that they would proceed with
placing the Ford -Braithwaite House on a plat as a separate lot specifying that it will not be modified or razed
without Frederick County approval. With respect to the second access and some of the other details, Mr. Butler
said that those issues would be adequately addressed at the site plan stage.
Mr. Michael M. Artz with Ebert and Associates, the land surveyor representing Mr. Curtis L.
Braithwaite, stated that they will incorporate a cul-de-sac into the subdivision large enough to accommodate a
school bus turn -around. Mr. Artz explained that they do not have access to other roads through other adjacent
properties in order to provide a second entrance to this subdivision. He said that as part of their master
development plan, they are attempting to provide access to adjacent properties, in the event roads do get built,
which would be to the south to Sulphur Spring Road, as well as to the east and west. Mr. Artz said that Mr.
Braithwaite has agreed to work with VDOT to make the needed road improvements.
One of the Commission's greatest concerns was the number of houses, existing and proposed,
that would share just one entrance. A Commissioner noted that if there was an accident at the entrance to Sunset
Drive, the street would be blocked, and it would be difficult to get a fire engine or ambulance back to the 150
houses. Members of the Commission were also opposed to development without the proper infrastructure
available for support, which they believed was the case with this particular proposal in this area. They cited
insufficient roads and enforcement. Members of the Commission commented that they didn't think there was
anything the developer could do to Sunset Drive that would mitigate the negative impact of putting 70 additional
homes in that location. The conclusion of the Commission was that they could not support the rezoning proposal
as it was presented.
The staff noted that the County's Secondary Road Improvement Plan shows components of
Senseny Road in phases to be improved; however, none of those phases are scheduled, and Senseny Road is not
scheduled to be widened or turn-laned.
Upon motion made by Mr. Ours and seconded by Mr. Light,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
denial of Rezoning Application #013-98 of Curtis L. Braithwaite, submitted by Ebert and Associates, to rezone
38.867 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to RP (Residential Performance).
Rezoning Application #014-98 of Gregory Investments to rezone .149 acres (6,502 square feet) from RP
(Residential Performance) to B2 (Business General). This property is located at the intersection of Aylor
Road (Rt. 647) and Double Church Road (Rt. 641) on the west side of Aylor Road and along I-81, and is
identified with P.I.N. 75-A-51 in the Opequon Magisterial District.

-10 -
Action - Recommended Approval with Proffers
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, said that approximately 81% of this parcel is
currently zoned B2 (Business General) and can be legally developed for commercial purposes. Mr. Wyatt stated
that the applicant has proffered to prohibit the construction of structures on the .149 -acre portion that is proposed
for rezoning, as he plans to use the area for vehicular access and parking. He explained that potential impacts
on adjoining properties from this use would be site lighting and vehicular headlight glare. Mr. Wyatt said that
the Zoning Ordinance requires various methods of screening commercial uses and associated parking areas from
residential properties, and establishes requirements to control lighting spillover onto adjoining properties. He
added that the staff believed that the county site design requirements, coupled with the applicant's proffer
statement, adequately mitigated the impacts associated with this rezoning proposal.
Mr. Stephen M. Gyurisin with Gilbert W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., said that this property,
as indicated by staff, is split -zoned. He explained that they would like to make this small, residentially -zoned
portion commercial, so it is consistent with the remainder of the property. Mr. Gyurisin continued, stating that
a buffer is required between the residential zoning and the B2 zoning and they would be faced with providing a
buffer on their own property, between the residential zoning and the commercial zoning, as well as providing
buffering to the adjoining properties. He said that this creates a substantial spacing problem for them to locate
the entrance and driveway for the facility, as well as some parking. He stated that this was the primary reason
for the rezoning.
Members of the Convnission inquired if the possible widening of I-81 would affect this property.
Mr. Gyurisin replied that he spoke with VDOT about that possibility and it is unlikely that any widening of I-81
would affect the Gregory property. There were also some questions regarding site distances going north on Aylor
Road. Mr. Gyrusin reported that they are currently dealing with those issues on their site plan and, in addition,
they will be dedicating right-of-way for the expansion of Aylor Road.
Upon motion made by Mr. Romine and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Rezoning Application #014-98 of Gregory Investments to rezone .149 acres (6,502 square feet) from
RP (Residential Performance) to B2 (Business General) with the proffer submitted by the applicant.
Proposed Modification of the Comprehensive Policy Plan, Eastern Road Plan Map, to relocate and revise
the functional classification of existing and proposed collector roads between Valley Mill Road (Rt. 659)
and Millwood Pike (Rt. 50).
Action - Recoimnended Approval
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, stated that at the Planning Commission's
September 2, 1998 meeting, the staff brought forward a request that was presented by Mr. Mark Smith of
Greenway Engineering to modify a portion of the County's Eastern Road Plan within the Comprehensive Policy
Plan. Mr. Wyatt said that the Commission unanimously supported the modifications proposed, and felt it was
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of October 7, 1998 Page 256
-11-
a better plan than what was currently in the Comprehensive Policy Plan; however, they believed it was
appropriate for the Transportation Committee to review the proposal and present a recommendation, before the
Commission took formal action. Mr. Wyatt said that basically, the modifications eliminate double major
collector roads within close proximity to each other. Mr. Wyatt said that at their October 6, 1998 meeting, the
Transportation Committee recommended approval of the design submitted.
Mr. Wyatt continued, stating that the staff requested the applicant to develop a scenario utilizing
one major collector road through this area which would intersect with Berryville Pike (Rt. 7) and provide an
analysis of this scenario compared to the initial proposal.
Mr. Mark Smith of Greenway Enginecring stated that after studying the "Alternate Two" plan
requested by the staff, Greenway Engineering has concluded that the original proposed Eastern Road Plan
modifications move and facilitate traffic in a more clear and concise method than the "Alternate Two" plan. Mr.
Smith explained his analysis to the Commission.
There were no public comments.
Commission members again expressed their support and endorsement of the original
modifications presented by Greenway Engineering.
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Ours,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick Comity Planning Commission does hereby unanimously support and
recommend approval of the proposed modifications to the Eastern Road Plan Map of the Comprehensive Policy
Plan to relocate and revise the functional classification of existing and proposed collector roads between Valley
Mill Road (Rt. 659) and Millwood Pike (Rt. 50) as presented by Mr. Mark Smith of Greenway Engineering.
UPDATE OF THE 1999-2000 FREDERICK COUNTY SECONDARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Action - Recommended Approval
Mr. Michael T. Ruddy said that the Transportation Committee held a public hearing on
September 1, 1998 for the annual update of the Secondary Road Improvement Plan and they unanimously
recommended approval as presented by staff. Mr. Ruddy reviewed the various sections of the plan with the
Commission and pointed out noteworthy modifications. He added that representatives of VDOT were present
to answer questions from the Commission.
There were no public comments.
Mr. Sager, Board of Supervisors' Liaison, wanted to know if the I-81 widening would hold up
the scheduled improvements to Aylor Road. Mr. Nonnan Sparks, VDOT's Design Specialist, didn't believe that
the 81 widening would stall the scheduled Aylor Road improvements in any way. Mr. Sparks explained that
VDOT has a plan for the interchange at Stephens City and 81 will be widened on the median side through that
area, which will reduce the impacts along Aylor Road.
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of October 7, 1998 Page 257
-12 -
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Romme,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously approve the
1999-2000 Frederick County Secondary Road Improvement Plan with the major road improvement projects, the
hard -surface road improvement projects, and the unscheduled and incidental construction, as submitted by staff
and recommended by the Transportation Committee.
UPDATE OF THE IMPACT MODEL
Action - Recommended Approval
Mr. Eric R Lawrence, Zoning Administrator, presented the updated Fiscal Impact Model to the
Commission, noting that the model has been updated and modified to more accurately project fiscal impacts on
capital facilities the County may incur based on a proposed rezoning. Mr. Lawrence stated that this updating
process began in mid -Spring when Mr. Phil Hammer of RER Economic Consultants, Inc. was selected to conduct
the update.
There were questions from the Commission about how money designated for fire and rescue is
distributed. Mr. Lawrence explained that because of the necessity for accountability, fire and rescue proffer
monies are collected by the Finance Department and distributed for fire and rescue projects. Members of the
Commission spoke about the necessity to review and update the model on an annual basis. Mr. Lawrence said
that Mr. Hammer has established a format whereby staff can determine what needs to be updated, making it much
easier for an annual update to be accomplished.
Mr. Kris Tierney, Planning Director, stated that the State Code places limits on the things
localities can accept proffers for and in order to accept proffers, facilities have to be listed in the Capital
Improvements Plan. He explained that the Impact Model attempts to get a handle on what the costs to the County
are for various types of development for information purposes. Mr. Tierney said that this update is an
improvement in that it allows the County to customize the input into the model, much more than in the past, to
give a more realistic output in terms of what the real costs of the development are, based on its characteristics.
There were no public comments.
The Commission believed the update was a great improvement over the current model and they
endorsed the model as presented by the staff.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Ours,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Connnission does hereby unanimously support the
update to the Fiscal Impact Model and does forward a recommendation of acceptance as presented to the Board
of Supervisors.

REQUEST FOR ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - OUTREACH TO ASIA NATIONALS
Action - Recommended Denial
Mr, Eric R. Lawrence, Zoning Arl_minictratorstated that staff had r,,ceiveda request to arnerid
the Zoning Ordinance to consider allowing non-profit foreign aid organizational offices in the RA Zoning District.
Mr. Lawrence said that the request was made by Mr. Otis Goodwin, Executive Director of Outreach To Asia
Nationals (OTAN), which established itself in Frederick County in 1991 as a cottage occupation. Mr. Lawrence
continued, stating that OTAN established an office in an existing garage, under CUP 4009-91, on OTAN
property off Route 522 North. He said since that time, interest in OTAN has increased and OTAN feels than an
expansion of its facilities is necessary to continue providing their services.
Mr. Lawrence said that the Development Review & Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS)
discussed this request at their July and August monthly meetings and those discussions concentrated on the
allowance of "office" uses, whether non-profit or for profit, outside of the County's Urban Development Area
(UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA). He stated that the DRRS firmly believed that such a use
would not be in compliance wth the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan, of which the UDA and SWSA are
elements.
Chairman DeHaven called for public comment, but no one came forward.
Members of the Commission believed that office uses were not appropriate in the RA Zoning
District and that this was clearly a B2 use. They could not support an ordinance change to accommodate this use
and recommended to the Board of Supervisors that this not be permitted.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Wilson,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
denial of the request by Mr. Otis Goodwin, Executive Director of Outreach To Asia Nationals, for an ordinance
amendment to establish an office in the RA Zoning District.
OTHER
Mr. Kris C. Tiemey, Planning Director, announced an upcoming public meeting concerning the
Third Battle of Winchester to be held on October 27, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. at Redbud Elementary School.
Mr. Tierney also noted that staff has begun preparations for the Commission's annual retreat
and would like input from the Cornnussion on the meeting format. Mr. Tierney said that the staff will be sending
a survey to the Commission within the next week.

Virginia Det. of Transportation: No objection to rezoning ofthis property. 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, 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. 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.
Historic Resources Advisory Board: The HRAB recommends that the applicant conduct an
archeological survey of the site prior to development, and that a 100' buffer distance from the north
property line is maintained. The HRAB recommends that a full screen be provided within this buffer
distance which tapers into an evergreen screen from the property bend to the railroad tracks.
Fire Marshal: Plan approval recommended. No additional comments.
Sanitation Authority: No comments.
County Engineer: See attached letter from Harvey E. Strawsnyder, Jr. dated 9-21-98 and
follow-up letter dated 10-8-98.
County Attorney: Uses should be proffered out, not in. Don't think can proffer how trailers face
on a shrubbery and grass.
Parks & Recreation: No comments.
Frederick Co. Public Schools: In addition to the 50' inactive buffer, we recommend landscaping
the buffer area with evergreen trees to serve as screening between the school and the adjacent
property.
Health Department: See attached letters from Karl E. Evans dated 8-14-98 and 9-23-98.
Planning & Zoning:
1) Site History
The original Zoning Map for Frederick County (U. S. G. S. Inwood Quadrangle) demonstrates that this
site was zoned A-2 (Agricultural General) District. This zoning designated was reclassified to RA
(Rural Areas) District on February 14, 1990 when the comprehensive revision to the Zoning
Ordinance was adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
2) Location
The 20 -acre site is located in the County's Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and is a
Jack K. Wampler, REZ #015-98
Page 3
October 26, 1998
component of the Route 11 North Land Use Plan which was adopted by the Board in 1996. This
land use plan calls for industrial and commercial use in the general area of this property.
The 20 -acre site is located on the west side of Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) which provides a
significant amount of road frontage. The site abuts the Stonewall Elementary School to the south
and is across Martinsburg Pike for the entrance to the Clearbrook Regional Park.
3) Site Suitability
The 20 -acre site does not contain areas of steep slope, floodplain, wetlands, or woodlands. The Soil
Survey of Frederick County, Virginia identifies prime agricultural soils on the entire site. The
Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey identifies the L.O. Dick House (ID #34-936) within close
proximity of this site. This house, located just north of the 20 -acre site, is identified in the survey as
a potentially significant historic structure.
4) Potential Impacts
a) Transportation System - The applicant has prepared a traffic impact analysis for this
application which suggests that the B3 portion of the site would generate 120 vehicle
trips per day, and the B2 portion of the site would generate 3,800 vehicle trips per
day. This would increase the amount of traffic on Martinsburg Pike (Rt. l l) by 11 %.
The applicant has estimated that the majority of this traffic access the site via
Interstate 81 Exit 321, which would increase the traffic on the segment of Hopewell
Road (Rt. 672) between I-81 and Martinsburg Pike by 104%.
The Route 11 North Land Use Plan demonstrates the need for the development of a
future collector road which would link this site with properties on the southeastern
side of Martinsburg Pike. The land use plan calls for the provision of traffic
signalization at the intersection of this road and Martinsburg Pike.
b) Adjoining Properties - The southern boundary of the 20 -acre site adjoins the
Stonewall Elementary School site. This represents the portion of the site that is
proposed to be rezoned to B3 (Industrial Transition). The review comment from the
Frederick County Public Schools states that a landscaped buffer would be desirable
that would adequately screen future development from the Stonewall Elementary
School site.
c) Historic Resources - The review comment from the HRAB recommends that the
northern property line of the 20 -acre site should be developed with a buffer and
screen to mitigate viewshed impacts to the L.O. Dick House. The HRAB also
recommends that the applicant conduct an archeological survey of this site prior to
Jack K. Wampler, REZ #015-98
Page 4
October 26, 1998
the occurrence of development activity.
d) Site Suitability - The review comment from the Health Department states that a
sewage disposal system could be developed which would allow for 150 g.p.d. to serve
a maximum of three employees. The closest public sewer to this site would be in the
Stonewall Industrial Park. A study has been prepared by Patton Harris Rust and
Associates which recommends various methods to provide public sewer service to
properties within the Route 11 North Land Use plan; however, no project has been
proposed by the FCSA or private individuals to accomplish this at this time.
e) Community Facilities and Services - The Capital Facilities Impact Model was applied
to this application on 8/25/98, assuming the development of 228,563 square feet of
retail and 18,848 square feet of office space on the 20 -acre site. The results of the
impact model demonstrate a negative impact to Fire and Rescue services for capital
facilities costs.
5) Proffer Statement
The applicant has submitted a proffer statement that has been signed, notarized and reviewed by the
County Attorney. The applicant's proffer statement has been developed to reflect requirements for
the entire site and requirements for the 9.3 -acre portion that is proposed to be rezoned B3 (Industrial
Transition) District. The following provides information for each portion of the proffer statement:
A) The applicant has proffered to construct no more than three commercial entrances on the
entire site, and has offered a monetary contribution to mitigate the impacts to Fire and Rescue
services.
B) The applicant has proffered to limit the permitted uses on the 9.3 -acre B3 (Industrial
Transition) portion of the 20 -acre site to mobile home dealers and model home sales and has
proffered to provide a 50' inactive buffer along the southern property line, adjacent to
Stonewall Elementary School.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 11/04/98 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
The request to rezone the 20 -acre site to create 10.7 acres ofB2 (General Business) District, and 9.3
acres of B3 (Industrial Transition) District appears to conform to the general land use bubble diagram
that is part of the Route 11 North Land Use Plan; however, there are several issues associated with
this adopted land use plan which have not been addressed to date.
The land use plan calls for the need to widen Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) to a four -lane condition
to be consistent with the Winchester Area Transportation Study. The applicant has not addressed
Jack K. Wampler, REZ #015-98
Page 5
October 26, 1998
this issue which could mitigate impacts associated with land acquisition from the Clearbrook Regional
Park.
The land use study demonstrates the need for the development of a future collector road which would
link this site with properties on the southeastern side of Martinsburg Pike. The land use plan calls
for the provision of traffic signalization at the intersection of this road and Martinsburg Pike;
however, the applicant has not addressed how the future development ofthis site will impact the need
for this improvement or how it will be funded.
The land use study states that there is a need to protect rural landmark sites that are identified by the
Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey. The HRAB has provided recommendations which
include an archeological survey as an initial step and buffers and screening during the development
process. To date, the applicant's proffer statement does not address this issue.
The applicant has proffered to set structures 50' from the property boundary line in lieu of the
required 15' setback requirement. The Frederick County Public School comment requests protection
through a landscaped buffer area which is not proposed as a part of the inactive buffer proffer.
The Health Department comment reflects the inability of this site to support a sewage disposal system
that can accommodate more than 150 g.p.d. and three employees. It is uncertain as to how and when
public sewer will be provided to this site; therefore, the current proposal cannot accommodate the
majority of uses that are permitted in the B2 (Business General) District.
The applicant has proffered to provide a monetary contribution to mitigate the impacts associated
with Fire and Rescue services. This amount is inconsistent with the results of the Capital Facilities
Impact Model. The monetary contribution proffered by the applicant may be appropriate to mitigate
the development of less square footage on the 20 -acre site; however, the proffer statement does not
provide for this.
Staff has concerns regarding the type and intensity of uses which may be developed on the
commercial portion of this site. Though the Route 11 North Land Use Plan calls for commercial and
industrial development in the area, the timing of such development is dependent upon the availability
of appropriate infrastructure. A number of issues pertaining to the Comprehensive Policy Plan and
to review agency comments remain outstanding at this time and have not been adequately addressed
by the applicant. Issues pertaining to future transportation improvements, appropriate buffers and
screening, the type and intensity of uses, and the provision of adequate infrastructure are critical and
should be addressed at the time of rezoning. It is staff's belief that these issues have not been
adequately addressed at this time.

Dear Mr. Beeman:
I have reviewed the documents on file for this property. It appears that this office issued
1 sewage disposal system permit on 12/15/97 for 150 gallons per day to serve a
maximum of 3 employees at a mobile home dealership office. I was not able to find any
other records for this property.
It is stated in Section 1.8 C of the Virginia Sewage Handling & Disposal Regulations
that " all buildings, residences, and structures designed for human occupancy,
employment or habitation and other places where humans congregate shall be served by
an approved sewerage system and/or treatment works. An approved sewerage system or
treatment works is a system for which a certificate to operate has been issued jointly by
the department and State Water Control Board or a system which has been issued a
separate permit by the commissioner".
Per your re -zoning request, this office can only give approvals for the 150 gallons per day
as stated above. Any proposed expansions involving on site sewage disposal would
require approvals by this office. Your request also indicates that the property would be
served by a public water system, therefore this office would not issue well permits.
I hope that this information is helpful to you.
Sincerely,
Karl E. Evans

RE: Wampler rezoning
Greenway Engineering
151 Windy Hill Lane
Winchester, VA 22602
Dear Mr. Beeman:
I am writing in response to your letter dated September 7, 1998. We completed a search
of our files on this date and we were able to locate another permit in our inactivated files
that was issued to Mr. Wampler that is identified as number 96012870. The permit was
issued by Mr. Frank Lee. It is my understanding of current county zoning policies, that
only 1 dwelling or structure is allowed per parcel unless it is a tenant house situation and
the square footage of the tenant house cannot exceed 25% of the square footage of the
main dwelling. Another option would be to sub -divide the original parcel, thereby
creating multiple lots that would accommodate 1 dwelling per sub -divided lot.
With this information in mind, it is my understanding that Mr. Lee informed Mr.
Wampler that only 1 permit could be active due to the fact that the applications did not
include plans for sub -dividing or the construction of a tenant house. In summary, we do
have on file, 2 sewage disposal system construction permits for this parcel, but in order to
comply with current policies, this office can only grant approval for 1 structure unless the
information in paragraph 1 would apply.
If you have any questions, please call.

RE: 20 Acre Rezoning Request - Wampler Property
Frederick County, Virginia
Dear Mark:
We completed our review of the proposed 20 acre rezoning and offer the following
comments:
1. Refer to page 5, Sewage Conveyance and Treatment. Until sewer collection has
been extended to this site, development of the two (2) individual parcels will be
governed by the ultimate capacity of the permitted drainfields. The health
department will establish these capacities. The design capacities shall be included
with the site plan submittal for our review.
2. Under the drainage calculations, a predevelopment "C" value of 0.6 has been
assumed. This value is not appropriate for the insitu residual soils. We
recommend a predevelopment "C" value of 0.2. A detailed stormwater evaluation
shall be included with any site plan submittals.
Please provide revised impact documents for our review prior to granting our final
rezoning approval.

INTRODUCTION
Wampler "pact Statement
This report has been prepared for the purpose of assessing the impact on Frederick county by the
proffered rezoning of a 20.00 acre parcel owned by Jack Wampler, Sr. The subject site, tax
parcel 33 -((A)) -164D, is located on Martinsburg Pike (U.S. Route 11), is adjacent to Stonewall
Elementary School, and is directly across from Clearbrook Park. The site is also bounded by the
Winchester and Western Railroad. The current zoning is "RA". Mr. Wampler proposes to
rezone 9.3 acres of the 20.00 acre site to "B-3" and the remaining 10.7 acres to "B-2". The
proposed zone line is shown on the Concept Drawing in Appendix 3.
SM SUITABILITY
The subject property is strategically located on U.S. route 11, and is near an I -S 1 interchange.
The site is also opposite of Clearbrook Park.
Flood Plains
The subject site is located on FEMA NFIP map # 510063-0110-B. The site is located within a
"ZONE C" area. No portion of the subject site is in a 100 year flood plain. There are no streams
on the site, although Clearbrook Run flows across two adjoining lots.
Wetlands
Both soil types on this property are well -drained. The site is gently sloping, and does not appear
to have any areas of storm water retention. In addition, the National Wetlands Inventory Map
does not reveal the existence of any identified wetland areas within this site.
Mature Woodlands
The subject site is an open field, with trees along two property lines. The subject site may be
developed under the proposed zonings, & still easily meet the zoning ordnance requirement of no
more than 25% disturbed trees.
Soil Types
Information for soil types on this site has been obtained from the Soil Survey of Frederick
Coun , by the USDS Soil Conservation Service.
The subject site is located on map sheet nos. 19 and 25, and contains two different soil types,
Massanetta loam, and Oaklet silt loam. Each soil type covers approximately one half of the
subject property.
Greenway Engineering
Prime Agricultural Soils
Wamplcr ..apact Statement
Both the Massanetta and Oaklet soil types are listed as "well-suited to cultivated crops, hay, and
pasture."
Steed Slopes - 15% and Greater
There are no steep slopes on the subject property. The existing terrain on the site consists of
gentle slopes, ranging from 0.5% to 7%.
Construction Concerns
The high shrink -swell potential of Oaklet silt loam will be a design consideration for building on
this property, but is not considered to be a prohibitive factor.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
• The subject site is adjacent to Stonewall Elementary School, the adjoining boundary being
140' from the school building. Although the zoning ordinance requires no buffer, the
proposed proffer includes a 50' inactive buffer along the adjoining sideline with Stonewall
Elementary School. This leaves a total separation distance of 190' between the school and a
building on the subject site.
• The Winchester and Western Railroad bounds the rear of the property, with a 60' right-of-
way.
• The properties on the other side of the railroad are owned by Dr. Raymond Fish. There are
several businesses on these parcels - a veterinarian's office, motorcycle dealership, mobile
home sales office, and three miscellaneous retail stores. The mobile home sales office, being
nearest, is 230' from the adjoining boundary with the subject site.
• To the northeast is a single-family home. This home is 180' from the boundary with the
subject site.
• Clearbrook Park lies across Martinsburg Pike (U.S. Route 11) from the subject site.
• Adjacent to Clearbrook Park, to the southeast, is a 165 acre undeveloped tract.
• There is a home opposite the school, 110' from the site's southeast property comer.
The distance to all buildings were paced, and are therefore appproximate.
Greenway Engineering Wampler —apact Statement
A 100' minimum buffer area will be required between "RA" and "B-3" zones, and a 50'
minimum buffer is necessary between "RA" and "B-2" zones. Therefore, no residence on any
adjoining property will be within 225' of a structure on the subject property. The distances to
these homes, as well to all other surrounding buildings, should be sufficient to reduce to
negligible levels the impact of any noise, light, or odors on neighboring lots generated by
business on the subject site within the proposed zonings.
BASIS FOR DETERMINING IMPACT
RIM
The traffic impact for the "B-2" zoned area is based on a concept drawing (see Appendix 3) and
an independent traffic study. All other impacts for the proposed "B-2" zoning have been
calculated using the maximum possible density, which is 228,600 square feet of retail space.
The proposed "B-3" zoning includes a proffer that limits use to mobile home and model home
sales. All impacts were evaluated based on this use.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
V.D.O.T. has classified Martinsburg Pike (U.S. Route 11) a major collector. Route 672 is a
minor collector, and I-81 is listed as a major arterial. VDOT Office Services Specialist, Vega
Ziemer (Edinburg office), supplied data from the latest traffic studies on affected roads:

"RA" Zoning - Existing
The existing "RA" zoning for the 20.00 acre site will allow for a maximum density of four
single-family detached dwellings.
"B-2" Zoning
The traffic impact resulting from the proposed "B-2" zoning is based on the enclosed concept
drawing (Appendix 3).
Greenway Engineering
"B-3" Zoning
Wampler .wpact Statement
Traffic counts to Mr. Wampler's existing sales office on U.S. Route 11 were used as a beginning
point in determining the traffic impact of the proposed "B-3" zoning. The following is a break-
down of predicted traffic generation:
10 employees at 4 adt/person = 40
20 visitors at 2 adt/car = 40
20 business-related trips = 40
Total traffic generation = 120 adt
Trip data for the "RA" and "B-2" uses were taken from the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 6th
Edition.

The development of the proffered site could therefore generate 3,920 adt. It is expected that 80%
of the increased traffic will travel to the I-81 interchange, less than one half mile away. This
would translate into a 43% increase in traffic to this interchange, and a 11% increase in traffic on
U.S. Route 11 south of the subject site. The traffic volume on Route 672 between Route 11 and
the I-81 interchange could increase 104%, and traffic on 1-81 could increase by 9%.
While these traffic increases are substantial, the property is located less than one half mile from
the I-81 interchange. The amount of road impacted is therefore minimal. The number of
entrances to the site has limited to three by proffer. All site plans must be submitted to the
4
Greenway Engineering
Wampler "pact Statement
Virginia Department of Transportation for review and approval. All road improvements
necessary to accommodate these traffic impacts will be constructed as VDOT requires.
WATER SUPPLY
The maximum design consumption for the subject site may be calculated as follows:
Water consumption for a shopping center -
V = 250gpd*
1000 sf
For a maximum buildout of 228,600 sf, this becomes -
V = 250gpd x 228,600 sf
1000 sf
= 57,150 gpd
* From the City of Harrisonburg Design and Construction Manual
It may be assumed that the mobile home sales office will use 250 gpd. Therefore, the maximum
water usage for the subject site is 57,400 gpd. There is currently a 10" water main along Route
11, which services Stonewall School, and terminates near the boundary of the subject site. It is
proposed that the subject site also be serviced by this water main.
SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT
Drainfield
The property currently has two septic system permits, one in each proposed zone area. Until
sewer collection has been extended to the site, development of the two (2) individual parcels will
be governed by the ultimate capacity of the permitted drainfields. The health department will
establish these capacities. The drainfield design capacities shall be included with the site plan
submittal.
Public Sewer
Based on water consumption at full build -out, the proposed zoning will add 57,400 gpd to a
future sewage conveyance system.
Greenway Engineering
DRAINAGE
Wampler —.pact Statement
Currently, the runoff from approximately 19.4 acres of the 20.0 acre site drains toward Route 11.
This runoff then crosses Route 11 through one of three existing culverts, and travels either
northward to Clearbrook Run, or southward to an intermittent stream. The runoff from the
remaining 0.6 acres on the site flows Northeast onto the adjoining property and into Clearbrook
Run.
The following calculations estimate the current and proposed storm water runoff for a ten-year
flow:
Existing Proposed
C = 0.2 C = 0.8
Iio = 5.9 in/hr Iio = 5.9 in/hr
A= 20.00 acres A = 20.00 acres
Qio = 23.6 cfs Qio = 94.4 cfs
Development of the subject site at maximum buildout will therefore result in an increased runoff
of 70.8 cfs. A detailed stormwater evaluation shall be included with any site plan submittals.
When development of the site requires it, a detention pond will be built which will manage the
rate of storm water discharge into these referenced streams. By controlling stormwater flow off
of the site in this way, the impact of developing the subject property on these two streams will be
within acceptable limits.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
Using Fairfax County design requirements, the following calculations were made to estimate the
maximum impact of solid waste generated on the proffered site.
LOIN
waste generation rate - retail = 11,440 lbs
1000 sf/yr
total solid waste = 228,600 sf x 11,440 lbs
1000 sf/yr
= 2,615,000 lbs/yr
compaction = 380 lbs/cy
total volume = 2,615,000 lbs/yr
3801bs/cy
= 6,880 cy/yr
M
Greenway Engineering
M.
Wampler "pact Statement
waste generation rate - mobile home sales = 12 cy/wk*
total solid waste = 624 cy/yr
*Based on waste generation at Mr. Wampler's existing mobile home dealership.
Therefore, the solid waste generated by the proffered site should not exceed 7,504 cubic yards
annually.
HISTORIC SITES AND STRUCTURES
The L. O. Dick house, identified as a historic structure by the Rural Landmarks Survey Report
for Frederick County, is on an adjoining parcel northeast of the subject site. The Dick house is
also listed as being "potentially significant" by said survey. There are no potential historic
districts nearby.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The impact on the utilities and infrastructure near the site has been estimated by the Frederick
County Capital Facilities Impact Model. Please refer to Appendix 4.
OTHER IMPACTS
No additional impacts are forseen by the development of the subject property at the proffered
density.

October 26, 1998
County Engineer: (1) The proposed stormwater management plan appears adequate for future site
development. However, we recommend that the predevelopment "C" be decreased to 0.35. (2)
Provide drainage easements where required to accommodate off-site storm runoff.
County Attorney: Proffers appear to be substantially proper.
Health Department: No comment.
Historic Resources Advisory Board: This property, identified as P.I.N. 86-5-F, does not contain,
nor is within the proximity of properties containing potentially significant historic resources.
Planning & Zoning:
1) Site History
The original Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S. G. S. Stephens City Quadrangle) demonstrates that
this tract was zoned R-1, Residential Limited District. This zoning classification was changed to RP
(Residential Performance) District on September 28, 1983, when the RP District replaced the R-1,
R-2, R-3 and R-6 Zoning Districts.
2) Location
The 4.7 -acre site is located within the county's Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and
Water Service Area (SWSA). This site is located on the north side of Fairfax Pike (Route 277) and
has 220' of road frontage. The adjoining properties are primarily used for residential purposes with
the exception of the Fruit Limited Partnership tract, which is zoned for commercial use and currently
vacant.
3) Site Suitability
The site does not contain environmental features, nor does it contain or is within the proximity of
significant historic resources. The Soil Survey for Frederick County, Virginia identifies the entire site
containing prime agricultural soils.
4) Potential Impacts
a) Transportation - A transportation impact analysis has been prepared by the applicant
which provides average daily traffic count and turning movement information. This
analysis suggests that the development of the site will produce between 1,720 and
4,310 new vehicle trips per day which is an increase of 17% to 42% of the current
traffic volume on Fairfax Pike. The applicant has estimated that the majority of the
J. Carson Cline, REZ #016-98
Page 3
October 26, 1998
traffic will travel to and from the west between the Interstate 81 Exit 307 and other
collector road systems on the Fairfax Pike corridor. The Winchester Area
Transportation Study (WATS) calls for the widening of Fairfax Pike to a four -lane
urban divided road section with sidewalks. The Primary Road Improvement Plan has
listed Fairfax Pike as the County's second highest priority behind the Route 37 eastern
by-pass.
b) Adjoining Properties - All adjoining properties on the north side of Fairfax Pike are
currently zoned for residential use and contain single-family dwelling units. The
development of commercial uses on the 4.7 -acre site will have an impact on these
properties through an increase in traffic, hours of operation for various businesses,
building and parking lot lighting and sign size and height.
C) Community Facilities and Services - The Frederick County Capital Facilities Impact
Model was applied to the rezoning proposal assuming a worst case development
scenario of 100,400 square feet of retail space. The results of this model run
demonstrate a negative fiscal impact to Fire and Rescue services for capital facilities
costs.
5) Proffer Statement
The applicant has submitted a proffer statement that has been signed, notarized and reviewed by the
County Attorney_ The applicant has proffered to eliminate two allowed uses, to limit the number of
commercial entrances on the site and to provide a monetary contribution to the County for impacts
to Fire and Rescue services.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 11/04/98 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
The 4.7 -acre site is located on a minor arterial road which contains a mixture of commercial and
residential uses. The majority of the commercial uses are situated near the Interstate 81 interchange
and adjacent to collector road intersections with Fairfax Pike. The Comprehensive Policy Plan does
not contain a land use plan for the Fairfax Pike corridor; therefore, it is difficult to determine if the
block of residential properties between Georgetown Court and Warrior Drive is envisioned to be
developed as higher density residential, as permitted by the current zoning, or is an area of transition.
The WATS and the Eastern Road Plan call for improvements to the Fairfax Pike corridor. VDOT
has undertaken steps to conduct preliminary engineering of this corridor from Interstate 81 to White
Oak Road (Route 636) which incorporates this tract. The applicant's impact analysis statement does
not discuss this issue, and the proffer statement does not attempt to mitigate transportation issues
other than limited commercial entrance development. It should be noted that the proffer to limit the
number of commercial entrances on site to two is immaterial, as the County's entrance spacing
J. Carson Cline, REZ #016-98
Page 4
October 26, 1998
requirements on Fairfax Pike would only permit one entrance into this property.
The applicant has proffered a monetary contribution to Frederick County to mitigate the capital
facility impacts to Fire and Rescue services. The amount proffered by the applicant is consistent with
the results of the Capital Facilities Impact Model.
Staff believes that the applicant could have utilized the proffer statement more effectively to mitigate
the impacts to the transportation system and to adjoining properties that will occur if the 4.7 -acre
tract is developed commercially. The applicant should be prepared to adequately address these issues
during the decision-making process for this rezoning proposal.

We have no objection to the rezoning of this property. However, since a VDOT study
("WATS'� identifies a 110' proposed right-of-way on a Route 277 widening, a proffer
should be added to dedicate an additional 25' across the front .of this property for public
use.
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, 6t' 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

INTRODUCTION
Cline Impact Statement
This report has been prepared for the purpose of assessing the impact on Frederick County by the
proffered rezoning of the property located at 623 Fairfax Pike, a 4.70 acre parcel, tax map no.
86-((5))-F. Said property is approximately 275' west of Warrior Drive. The current zoning is
"RP", and the proposed zoning is "B-2".
SITE SUITABILITY
Flood Plains
The subject site is located on FEMA NFIP MAP # 510063-0200-B. The site is located within a
"ZONE C" area. No portion of the site is in a 100 year flood plain.
Wetlands
The National Wetlands Inventory Map shows a man-made pond on the subject property. This
pond has since been drained. There is a ditch that runs along the neighboring property, and
empties into this pond area.
Mature Woodlands
There are no mature woodlands on the subject site.
Soil Type
Information for soil types on this site has been obtained from the Soil Survey of Frederick
Coun , by the USDS Soil Conservation Service.
The subject site is located on map sheet no. 47, and contains two different soil types. Blairton
Silt Loam covers the southern end of the property, while Zoar Silt Loam lies on the northern end.
Prime A cultural Soils
The Blairton and Zoar soil types are listed as "moderately well suited" or "well suited" to
cultivated crops if drainage is installed. Both soil types are well suited to hay and pasture.
Steep Slopes
The only steep slope on the property is on what is left of the pond dam. The natural terrain on the
site consists of gentle slopes, ranging from 2-7%.
Greenway Engineering
Construction Concerns
Cline Impact Statement
Both the Blairton and Zoar soil types have seasonal high water tables, ranging from 1/2' to 2 1/2'
from the surface through the winter months. This can affect soil strength, and there is a potential
of frost -action.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
• To the east of the subject site is an "RP" -zoned lot. The house on this property is 80' from
the adjoining boundary with the subject site.
• The "Village at Sherando" subdivision, zoned "RP", abuts the rear of the site. The houses on
the two adjoining lots are 25' from the boundary with the subject site.
• There is a single-family dwelling on the adjacent property west of the subject site. This
house is 60' from the adjoining boundary with the subject site.
• Across Fairfax Pike and opposite the site is a vacant twenty acre parcel. This property is
zoned "B-2".
Under the proposed zoning, a 50' minimum buffer will be required between adjoining properties
zoned "RP", and any primary structure on the site. Taking this into account, all residences on
neighboring lots will be more than 75' from a primary structure on the subject property.
BASIS FOR DETERMINING IMPACT
All impacts for the proposed "B-2" zoning have been calculated using the maximum possible
development density, which is 100,400 square feet of retail space.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
V.D.O_T. has classified Fairfax Pike (Route 277) as a minor arterial. V.D.O.T. representative
Barry Sweitzer, supplied data from the latest traffic study on this road:

Greenway Engineering
Cline Impact Statement
The existing "RP" zoning for the 4.7 acre site will allow for a maximum density of 47 dwelling
units. Under the proposed zoning, the maximum traffic impact from the site is the equivalent of
that generated by 100,400 sf of retail space. The following table is based on trip data taken from
the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition:

4,310
The development of the rezoned site at the maximum density could therefore generate 4,310 trips
per day. It is expected that 90% of the increased traffic will travel the western portion of Route
277, towards the intersection with I-81. This would translate into a 42 % increase in traffic west
of the site, and a 5% increase in traffic east of the site.
The Cline property has only 220' of frontage on Route 277, but has an 885' side line (see
Appendix 3). To presume that the property will be fully utilized is, in our opinion, unrealistic.
A more feasible assessment of the site's capacity would be 40,000 sf of retail space. This would
result in a total increase of 1,720 adt, a 17% increase westbound, and a 2% increase eastbound.
WATER SUPPLY
The following calculations assess the potential impact of the proposed rezoning on the local
water system:
V = 250 gpd* x 100,400 sf
1000 sf
= 25,100 gpd
* Design rate for shopping centers, based on ultimate floor space. Source: The City of
Harrisonburg Design and Construction Manual.
Therefore, the maximum design consumption for the proffered site is 25,100 gpd. An 8" water
main is currently in place along Route 277. John Whitacre of the FCSA was consulted regarding
the use of this water main. On July 21, 1998, Mr. Whitacre confirmed that this main had
adequate capacity.
Greenway Engineering Cline Impact Statement
SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT
Based on water consumption at full build -out, the proposed proffered zoning will add 25,100 gpd
to the sewage conveyance system. There is a 12" sanitary sewer main along Route 277 which
ends approximately 170' h -nm rhe site. nn T»iy _L 1 1998, Mr. Whitacre of the FCSA confirmed
that this sanitary main will adequately handle this increased capacity.
DRAINAGE
Currently, the runoff from this site drains into a ditch near the northeastern corner of the
property. This storm water then flows into Wright's Run. The following calculations estimate
the current and proposed storm water runoff for a ten-year flow:
Existin
C = 0.4
Iio = 6.4 in/hr
A = 4.7 acres
Qio=12.0 cfs
Proposed
C = 0.8
Iio = 6.4 in/hr
A = 4.7 acres
Qio = 24.0 cfs
Development of the subject site at maximum buildout will therefore result in an increased runoff
of 12.0 cfs. Storm water management is required for all major development within Frederick
County. When development of the site requires it, a detention pond will be built which will
manage the rate of storm water discharge into this drainage way.
By controlling stormwater flow off of the site in this way, the impact of developing the subject
property on this stream will be within acceptable limits.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
Using Fairfax County design requirements, the following calculations were made to estimate the
maximum impact of solid waste generated on the subject site.
waste generation rate= 11,440 lbs
1000 sf/yr
total solid waste = 100,400 sf x 11,440 lbs
1000 sf/yr
= 1,148,600 lbs/yr
compaction = 4001bs/cy
total volume = 1 148,600 lbs/yr
4001bs/cy
= 2,870 cy/yr
Greenway Engineering
Cline Impact Statement
Therefore, the solid waste generated by the proffered site will not exceed 2,870 cubic yards
annually.
HISTORIC SI'Z'ES AND STRUCTURES
The Cline -Ritter -Snyder house, identified as a historic structure by the Rural Landmarks Survey
Report for Frederick County, is approximately 300' east of the subject site. There are no homes
nearby that are listed by said survey as being potentially eligible for the state and national
register of historic places. There is a potential historic district 1.25 miles east of the site, in
Stephens City.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The impact on the utilities and infrastructure near the site has been estimated by the Frederick
County Capital Facilities Impact Model. Please refer to Appendix 4.
OTHER IMPACTS
No additional impacts are forseen by the development of the subject property at the proffered
density.

October 23, 1998
County Engineer: We have no comments at this time. A detailed review will be made at the time
of the site plan submission. Stormwater management could be a consideration at that time if
additional pavement is added.
Health Department: As there are to be no employees and, therefore, no sewage generated, the
Health Department has no objection to this proposed use.
Planning & Zoning:
1) Site History
The original Zoning Map for Frederick County (U. S. G. S. Gore Quadrangle) demonstrates that this
site was zoned A-1 (Agricultural Limited) District. This zoning designated was reclassified to RA
(Rural Areas) District on February 14, 1990 when the comprehensive revision to the Zoning
Ordinance was adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
2) Location
The 329 -acre site is located on the south side of Gore Road (Rt. 75 1) which is the site of the Gore
Elementary School on old Route 50 West. This property is located outside of the County's Urban
Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA), and is located within the
Gore Rural Community Center. The Comprehensive Policy Plan states that land use within the Gore
Rural Community Center should include commercial and increased residential densities that are
developed in character with the existing rural area.
3) Site Suitability
The 3.29 -acre site does not contain environmental features or historic resource areas. An intermittent
stream beginning on the north side of Northwestern Pike traverses the eastern boundary of this
property which drains into Back Creek.
4) Potential Impacts
a) Community Facilities and Services: Staff has applied the Capital Facilities Impact
Model to this rezoning application assuming the worst case square footage
development scenario for self-service storage facilities. The results of this impact
model run demonstrate a negative impact to Fire and Rescue Services for capital
facilities costs.
b) AdjoiningProperties: The conversion ofthe Gore Elementary facility into self-service
storage facilities, as well as the potential for the development of new self -storage
Gore School, REZ #017-98
Page 3
October 23, 1998
facilities may have an impact on adjoining properties that are currently used for
residential purposes. These impacts would involve increased traffic in and out of this
site, security lighting, and hours of operation.
5) Proffer Statement
The applicant has submitted a proffer statement that has been signed, notarized and reviewed by the
County Attorney. The applicant has proffered to prohibit all permitted uses in the B2 District except
for self-service storage facilities, to prohibit new entrance locations along Gore Road, and to maintain
the existing Gore School playground as a neighborhood park until such a time that self-service
storage facilities are developed in this area of the site. The applicant has also proffered a monetary
contribution of $0.02 (two cents) per square foot of existing and future building area on this site_
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 11/04/98 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
A land use plan has not been created for the Gore Rural Community Center; however, the
Comprehensive Policy Plan recommends future commercial development in this area. The applicant
has proffered out all potential uses permitted in the B-2 District except for self-service storage
facilities; therefore, the perpetual effect of a favorable action would be a specific commercial use on
this site which is not water and sewer dependent and has a reasonably low average daily traffic count.
The monetary amount proffered by the applicant is 17% greater than the amount demonstrated by
the Capital Facilities Impact Model results. The willingness to allow public access on this site for the
use of a neighborhood park, which would be maintained by the applicant, provides a recreational
opportunity for the community center in the short term, as a western county regional park has not
been realized. The applicant should provide additional information regarding facility security lighting
and hours of operation to ensure that all potential impacts are realized during the decision-making
process for this application.

alPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
CORE SCHOOL REZ0_TiTNG
t ry 'Sw
A. Suitability of ti.e �itvP
:
100 year flood plains: The FEMA Flood Insurance Map — Community Panel #510063-
0106-B indicates that the flood plain associated with Back Creek is located on the south
side of the railroad tracks which is not on the 3.29 acre tract.
The 329 acre tract does not contain areas of wetlands, steep slopes, mature woodlands,
prime agricultural soils, or soil conditions, which would create construction difficulties or
hazards_
B. Surrounding Properties:
A copy of the plat for this property is attached. I own the land (3.534 acres) on the East
Side of the property I'm asking to rezone. Winchester and Western Railroad owns the
adjoining land on the South Side of my property with the railroad tracks adjacent to the
back of my property line. Route 751 lies in front of my property on the North Side with
one house facing my property. On the East Side of my property past the school and the
driveway is one house facing the school. It is approximately 400 ft. from my driveway.
There should be a very minimal impact on surrounding properties with just an occasional
vehicle unloading or loading their storage items. The driveway circles around the school
with plenty of room for parking and maneuvering. Hours of operation and lighting
should have little or no impact.
C. Traffic.-
There
raffic:There are already two entrances to this property and no more will be added or needed.
This is part of my proffer statement. If every room was rented out and every person carne
on the same day to retrieve something from storage, than there would be eleven vehicles
stopping that day. This would be the maximum amount of traffic. Most days would be
very minimal with just an occasional vehicle. I do not believe there are any peak vehicle
trip hours associated with this use.
D. Sewage Conveyance and Treatment:
There is no public sewer system in the vicinity of this 3.29 acre tract. There are several
drainfields; but they will not be used as part of this proposed operation.
E. Water Supply:
There is well water available on this propert,,; but it will not be used as part of this
proposed operation.
F. Drainage:
There is a drainage area located along the eastern property line that drains into Back
Creek; however, there will be no impact on this from my proposed operation.
G. Solid Taste Disposal Facilities:
There will be no dumpster areas or other refuge facilities proposed for this project;
therefore, no impacts for solid waste disposal are anticipated.
I3. Historic Sites and Structures:
According to the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey, the Gore School and other
structures in this area are not listed as structures of potential historic significance.
I. Impact on Community Facilities:
There should be very minimal impact. The only facilities that could be affected are the
Sheriff's Department in case of a break-in and the Fire Department in case of fire. This
property is less than a quarter of a mile from the Gore Fire Department.
I have attached copies of the Frederick County Capital Facilities Impact Model to show
the fiscal impact to fire and rescue services.

MEMORANDUM
To: Frederick County Planning Commission
From: Michael T. Ruddy, Planner It
Subject: Bo's at Kernstown: Entrance Spacing Reduction Request - Revised Application
Date: October 23, 1998
Revised request:
Staff has received an updated site plan from the applicants showing the revisions to the entrance
configuration as discussed during the October 21, 1998 Planning Commission meeting. The revised site
plan increases the width of the central raised island, reduces the width of the southern entrance, and
modifies the curb radius' on each side of the southern entrance.
The proposed expansion to the entrance would still increase the level of the nonconformity of the entrance,
reducing the entrance spacing to 43' from 55'. However, the width of the entrance has been reduced to
approximately 56'.
Planning Commission authority:
Pursuant to Section 165-29B(1) of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission may allow other
means of motor vehicle access which do not meet the above requirements. Such means may involve the
use of entrances which physically limit or restrict left turns, methods which ensure one-way travel, or other
methods.
I have enclosed a copy of the site plan revisions for your review. Please contact me if you have any
additional questions regarding this information.

MEADE'S FAMILY DAY HOME
Day Care Facility
LOCATION: This property is located at 150 Twine Lane.
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Gainesboro
PROPERTY ID NUMBERS: 26-A 34A
PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE: Zoned RA (Rural Areas) District; Land Use:
Residential
ADJOEgNG PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned RA (Rural Areas) and B2 (Business
General) Districts; Land Use: Residential and Commercial (Used Automobile Sales)
PROPOSED USE: Day care facility
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Dept. of Transportation: No objection to conditional use permit for this property.
Existing entrance is adequate for proposed use. However, should use ever expand in the
future, the entrance may have to be upgraded to VDOT minimum commercial standards.
Inspections Department: No comment required provided existing home is licensed as a
family day home by the Virginia Department of Social Services. However, if this license is
not obtained, a floor plan shall be submitted for a change of use building permit and a new
certificate of occupancy shall be issued.
Fire Marshal: Plans disapproved. The residence has no defined driveway; the closest road
is approximately 150 feet from the dwelling. This would not allow adequate fire and rescue
access. On the same parcel of property, there is the burned remains of another dwelling. This.
would be hazardous to the children and should be secured or razed.
Meade's Family Day Home CUP #008-98
Page 2
October 26, 1998
Health Department: See attached letter from John Daley, Environmental health
Supervisor, dated 8-17-98.
Planning and Zoning:
Day care facilities are permitted in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District with an approved
Conditional Use Permit. Currently, the property contains two residences that were both
replaced in 1994 with new mobile home units. The applicant requests that one of these
residences, located closest to Twine Lane, also be utilized as a day care facility.
A day care facility is defined by the Zoning Ordinance as a facility in which more than five
children, not including those children related to the people who maintain the facility, are
received for care, protection, and guidance during only part of the twenty-four hour day.
The surrounding properties consist primarily of residential uses; a used automobile sales
business is located about 100 yards south of the property. Based on the surrounding uses,
a day care facility is not inappropriate at this location.
Located on the applicant's property, about 30 yards from the day care facility structure, are
the remnants of a burnt -down dwelling. This burnt dwelling is not secured and may represent
a safety hazard. Additionally, a children's swing -set is located adjacent to the burnt dwelling,
possibly encouraging the children to approach this unsecured area. Removal, or enclosing
this burnt dwelling, may alleviate the potential safety hazards.
Staff believes that the establishment of this business would not have a negative impact upon
the surrounding neighborhood..
STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR 10-7-98 PLANNING COMIVIISSION MEETING:
The property's location is appropriate for the proposed use. At issue is the safety of the
children utilizing the proposed facility. In review ofthe agency comments, the Fire Marshal's
Office has recommended that the CUP not be granted due to existing safety issues. If these
safety issues are resolved, and the applicant secures the Fire Marshal's approval, staff would
recommend that the request for a CUP to operate a day care facility be approved with the
following conditions:
Satisfy the licensing requirements of the Virginia Department of Social Services.
2. Comply with review agency comments at all times.
3. Expansion of the existing structure that is to be used for the proposed day care will
require a new Conditional Use Permit.

October 26, 1998
SUMMARY FROM 10-7-98 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
The Commission was concerned with the Fire Marshal's disapproval comments, and with the
status of the child care license with the Virginia Department of Social Services, State
Licensing Division. The applicant commented that access to the facility and the burnt
dwelling should not be a safety concern; a video could be provided to the Commission
illustrating the property's layout.
The Commission tabled the application for 30 days; during that time the applicant was to:
achieve resolution with the Fire Marshal, provide an update on the social services license, and
produce a video of the property.
ACTIONS SINCE 10-7-98 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Staff has contacted the applicant, the Fire Marshal, and the State Licensing Division (Verona)
to confirm efforts toward achieving compliance with the Commission's requests. In
discussions with the applicant, it appears that neither the Fire Marshal nor the State Licensing
Division have been contacted. The applicant has produced a video that illustrates the
property's layout; this video will be available for viewing by the Commission.
In discussions with the Fire Marshal, staff has been informed that the applicant has not
contacted the Fire Marshal's office, nor made any obvious efforts to resolve its concerns.
In discussions with the Licensing Department, it has been confirmed that an application for
a `family day home' was made in July; Family Day Homes are limited to the caring for no
more than 12 children. The Family Day Home License will not be issued to the applicant
until a study of safety and health is conducted at the property. This study will not be
scheduled until the County acts on the Conditional Use Permit application.

1. The house to be used as the day care center is to have occupancy limited to the following:
a. One full-time resident.
b. Two teachers working a 12 -hour shift, one being the house occupant.
c. Twelve students/children for 12 hours per day.
2. Food service is to be limited to snacks only.
3. The well on the property must meet all the requirements of the Lord Fairfax Health District's
Small Waterworks Policy.
If you have any questions about item # 1, please call me at (540) 722-3480. Questions concerning
food service should be directed to Steve Lee and questions concerning the well requirements can
be answered by John Lam, both of whom can be reached at the same number listed above.
This letter replaces my letter to you dated 8/12/98 concerning the same subject. The changes were
