Wyatt, Deputy Director RE: Development Design Standard Amendments DATE: December 4, 1997 During the October 15, 1997 Planning Commission meeting, staff presented comments received by the development and design community pertaining to the referenced standards. It was the general consensus of the development and design community that the intent of the proposed standards were appropriate; however, additional time was needed to ensure that the language was appropriately worded. The Planning Commission felt that input from the development and design community was essential to this process, provided that revisions to the proposed language did not compromise the intent of the standards. The representatives of the development and design community felt this could be accomplished within a thirty day period and asked that the comments be reconsidered by the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS). Staff presented the information discussed at the Planning Commission meeting to the DRRS during their October 23, 1997 meeting. Representatives from the Industrial Parks Association (IPA), the Top of Virginia Builders Association, Gilbert W. Clifford & Associates, Greenway Engineering, Painter -Lewis Engineering, Fort Collier Industrial Park, Stonewall Industrial Park, Airport Business Center, and Eastgate Commerce Center were in attendance and participated in the discussion. The DRRS felt that the majority of the comments made during the meeting were valid and that flexibility in design was a critical element to this process. The DRRS recommended that staff outline the comments received for the Planning Commission, redraft language for those comments that were agreed upon, and ask the commission to determine what approach should be taken for the few standards in which a consensus was not reached. The Planning Commission discussed these recommendations and advised staff to advertise the modified language for public hearing. Included under this agenda item is a copy of the proposed development design standards for consideration by the Planning Commission. Staff asks that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for final disposition. 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS 165-23 Setback Requirements.

Pedestrian walkways with a minimum width of six (6) feet shall be exempt from this requirement. 165-29 Motor Vehicle Access A. New entrances. (1) Private entrances shall be allowed to provide access from road right-of-ways to properties serving individual uses, shared uses, parking lots and loading areas. (2) Spacing requirements. A minimum spacing requirement shall be established for entrances onto arterial roads and major collector roads to facilitate safe and convenient ingress and egress for sites and to promote efficient travel. Entrance spacing distances shall be measured from the tangents to the curb returns of the entrances or the intersecting street. a) Minimum spacing between entrances and between entrances and intersections shall be as follows: Posted Speed Limit (mph) Minimum Spacing Requirement (feet) 35 or less 200 More than 35 250 b) The minimum spacing for entrances on minor collector roads and local streets shall be seventy (70) feet. A minimum spacing of one -hundred fifty (150) feet shall be required between entrances and intersections of arterial roads or major collector roads. c) Properties which have frontage on both an arterial or major collector road and a minor collector road or local street which develop more than one entrance shall provide access on each road or street. Properties which cannot meet the entrance spacing requirements along the arterial or major collector road shall only be permitted to provide access from the minor collector road or local street. d) The location of new entrances shall conform with road improvement plans and corridor plans that have been adopted by Frederick County. New entrances shall align with existing entrances, planned entrances, or crossovers. B. Alternative Methods and Exceptions. (1) Planning Commission waiver. a) The Planning Commission may allow the placement of entrances which do not meet the requirements of Section 165-29A, provided that a traffic access plan demonstrating existing traffic conditions, the design of all streets abutting the site, and the location of all existing or planned entrances, crossovers, turn lanes, and other access features within three hundred (300) feet of the proposed entrance is provided to the Planning Commission for review. Such entrances may involve the use of physical limits, restricted left turn movements, or methods which ensure one-way travel. The Planning Commission shall only allow entrances that do not adversely impact existing or planned traffic access plans and meet the intent of this section. b) No more than one (1) new entrance shall be permitted on properties which utilize the provisions specified in Section 165-29B(1). (2) Shared Entrances. a) The Zoning Administrator may allow for the use of shared entrances for properties which cannot meet the requirements of Section 165-29A(2)(a). b) New entrances on arterial and major collector roads which prohibit adjoining properties from meeting entrance spacing requirements shall only be approved by the Zoning Administrator if provisions for shared entrances are made. EE; C) Shared entrances shall be shown on the approved subdivision plat and all development plans in the form of an access easement. Shared access easements should follow property lines unless the location is in conflict with the requirements of Section 165-29A. The Zoning Administrator may require a deed of dedication which describes the provisions for joint use and maintenance. C. Inter -parcel Connectors. Provisions shall be made for the development of inter -parcel connectors commercial properties to allow for access between sites without entering onto arterial or major collector roads. A circulation plan shall be developed in conjunction with the site plan design which provides for inter -parcel access to adjoining properties that are vacant and connects to adjoining properties in which access provisions have been made available. Inter -parcel connectors shall be designed to promote safe travel between properties and avoid conflicts between pedestrian walkways, drive-through lanes, loading areas, and parking spaces. The Planning Commission may waive the requirement for inter -parcel connectors when topography or environmental feature constraints are clearly prohibitive. 165-30. Signs.

Wyatt, Deputy Director 411 RE: Urban Development Area Expansion Request DATE: December 5, 1997 The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) considered a request from Mr. Douglas W. Harold, Jr., to expand the Urban Development Area (UDA) to include a 42.5 acre tract owned by Preston E. Conner, Sr. This tract is located on the east side of Double Church Road (Route 641) and adjoins the Sherando High School tract along its eastern property line. The site is in close proximity to South Warrior Drive; however, access at this time is via Brandy Lane which is a private drive. The CPPS expressed concerns with this request, siting issues such as expanding the UDA to the south side of Fairfax Pike (Route 277) and to the east of Double Church Road, the expansion of the UDA to accommodate a single tract, the increase of vehicle trips per day at the permitted residential density (5.5 units per acre, or 234 units), and the uncertainty as to if adequate water and sewer capacity would be available. Mr. Douglas advised the CPPS that an agreement exists between the Frederick County School Board and the Conner estate to allow for this tract to tie into the existing ten -inch water line and the six-inch force main. The CPPS felt that the UDA should not be expanded at this time primarily due to the negative impact associated with traffic. The CPPS directed staff to request an analysis of this area by the Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) to determine if capacity was an issue. Staff established a 107 acre study area boundary for this task which included all properties within the boundary of Fairfax Pike to the north, Brandy Lane to the south, South Warrior Drive to the east, and Double Church Road to the west. Information from the FCSA is included at the end of this agenda item. Please find included under this agenda item a letter from Mr. Harold to Mr. Kris C. Tierney, dated September 22, 1997, a location map, a plat depicting the Preston E. Conner, Sr., tract, and a memorandum from Evan A. Wyatt to Wellington H. Jones, dated November 17, 1997, with a response memorandum dated December 1, 1997. 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Urban Development Area Expansion Request ALLEN & HAROLD, P.L.C. - ATTORNEYS AT LAW - (INCLUDING A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION) ROBERT G.

Re: Request for inclusion of real property within Urban Development Area Dear Mr. Tierney: I write this letter in my capacity as Trustee of the Preston E. Conner, Sr. Revocable Trust (the "Trust"), which is a land trust established in 1992 under Virginia Code §55-17.1 to hold certain real property and other assets for the benefit of specified beneficiaries. The Trust is the owner of a parcel of land in Frederick County, on the east side of Stephens City, which is immediately adjacent to land occupied by Sherando High School. The land in question (which I shall refer to as the "Trust Property") is the remaining part of a larger parcel that was left after Preston E. Conner, Sr. sold a 40 acre tract to the Frederick County School Board in 1990 (Book 751, Page 1777).1 The Trust Property was subsequently conveyed in 1993 to the Trust (Book 831, Page 1054), and in 1995 Mr. Conner and I were designated as co -trustees of the Trust; Mr. Conner died several weeks ago, and -T continue as sole Sur`.'iving tru?stp- of the Trust. The Trust Property is currently located outside Frederick County's Urban Development Area ("UDA"), which extends eastward from Double Church Road (Route 641) and northward from Fairfax Pike (Route 277). However, the Trust Property, which consists of approximately 42.5 acres, is in close proximity to the UDA and represents the major portion of the land mass located in the northwest corner formed by Double Church Road and Fairfax Pike. The Trust Property is ideally situated for inclusion in the •UDA, for the following reasons: 'References in this letter to Book and Page numbers apply to land records in the Frederick County Circuit Clerk's Office. 3 Chris Tierney September 22, 1997 Page 2 (1) Pursuant to Mr. Conner's 1990 deed conveying the current Sherando High School land to the School Board (Book 751, Page 1777), a 60' right of way was reserved for the Trust Property along the western boundary of the Sherando High School property, to be used in common with an 80' right of way for ingress and egress to Fairfax Pike (Route 277). This is shown on the plats attached as Exhibits A and B. I understand that the 80' right of way (which now consists of Warrior Drive, and is shown in more detail on Exhibit C to this letter) is to be turned over to the state this fall or winter, and will then become a public road; this is consistent with the Agreement between Fruit Limited Partnership and the School Board (Book 751, Page 1764), which obligates the School Board to construct a two-lane roadway in such a manner as will result in its dedication to and acceptance by VDOT. Thus, in the very near future there will be available to the Trust Property access to Fairfax Pike via a public road (Warrior Drive) . (2) Public water and sewer service is available to the Trust Property, pursuant to the deed conveying the Sherando High School land to the School Board (Book 751, Page 1777), which obligates the School Board to locate within the public roadway public water and sewer facilities of sufficient size to permit access by the Trust Property for future development. Thus, if the Trust Property is included within the UDA, water and sewer is already available to the property to permit reasonable development consistent with the property's best usage. (3) The character of the area immediately adjacent to the Trust Property is largely consistent with inclusion in the UDA. The Fruit Limited Partnership land along the southern boundary of Fairfax Pike (across which Warrior Drive extends), is zoned 3-2, and is planned for development as a commercial shopping center (see Agreement, Book 751, Page 1764); also along the S`JUthcril boaii%.A of F airfax Pike (be -L ween Warrior Drive and Double Church Road) is located Bowman Trucking Company. A large Rite Aide drug store is located on the northwest corner of the land mass formed by Double Church Road and Fairfax Pike. Fronting on Double Church Road immediately adjacent to Brandy Lane (the gravel road that borders the southern edge of the Trust Property) is located the offices and equipment yard for E.R. Neff Excavating, Inc.; and Faith Baptist Church is being built on the northwest corner of Brandy Lane and Double Church Road. Sherando Park is located further eastward along Fairfax Pike, immediately next to the Sherando High School property. Thus, significant commercial, recreational and light industrial facilities, and the High School, effectively surround the Trust Property on three sides, leaving only the southerly -lying land (on the other side of Brandy Lane) currently undeveloped. El Chris Tierney September 22, 1997 Page 3 (4) Natural boundaries exist for inclusion of the Trust Property in the UDA. Those boundaries are: (a) Sherando High School on the east; (b) Fairfax Pike on the north; (c) Double Church Road on the west; and (d) Brandy Lane on the south. Assuming that no objection was made by other property owners of the land area bounded by Fairfax Pike, Double Church Road, Brandy Lane and Warrior Drive, no other property would be affected by extension of the UDA per this request. In particular, agricultural land south of the Trust Property (bounded by Brandy Lane to the north and Double Church Road to the west) would be unaffected by inclusion of the Trust Property in the UDA, and agricultural use of that land could continue without any conceivable impact even if the Trust Property were subsequently developed. (5) At the present time, the value of the Trust Property is limited, due to restricted development opportunities; inclusion of the Trust Property in the UDA would permit prudent and responsible development to proceed (consistent with other development currently underway in that area), which would ultimately materially increase the tax base for the County. For the foregoing reasons, I request that the Trust Property be included in the UDA, and that the County's Comprehensive Plan be amended to reflect such inclusion. I am available to discuss this in more detail with the County's representatives at any time they may choose to consider this request. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director � RE: Service Area Expansion Request DATE: November 17, 1997 The Frederick County Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) considered two requests for sewer service to properties located outside of the current service area. The first request pertained to the extension of sewer service to the Whitfield Subdivision located on Double Church Road. The second request pertained to the expansion of the Urban Development Area (UDA) and the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) to include the Conner tract located on the south side of Fairfax Pike and on the east side of Double Church Road. Enclosed is a map of the area in which these properties are located. It would be beneficial to receive the following information from your department: What would be the impact to the current system if the 107.42 acres highlighted in green was placed into the UDA and SWSA (it is anticipated that this acreage would be developed as commercial and higher density residential uses)? Is there sufficient capacity to accommodate this acreage? Would service to this acreage have to be pumped to the north the west, or in both directions? Would upgrades be required to the current pump stations and force mains to accommodate this acreage, and would additional infrastructure be required? What scenarios could be developed to serve the 27 lots in the Whitfield Subdivision? Is there a scenario that is preferred by the FCSA? Is the force main which serves Woodside Estates a four -inch or a six-inch line? Would there be adequate capacity to accommodate service to the 27 lots highlighted in green? What fees would be required by the FCSA for each lot owner to tie into this system? Our department will present these requests to the Planning Commission on December 17, 1997; therefore, it would be beneficial to receive this information by December 3, 1997. Please contact me if you require additional information or have any questions regarding the information in this memorandum.

(540) 868-1429 In response to the questions you asked about the 107 acre tract and Whitfield Subdivision: I. 107 acre tract A. I see no adverse impact to our water and sewer system if this acreage is developed as commercial or high -residential area. B. We have sufficient water and sewer capacity to serve this area. C. Sewer in this area could be pumped north, west, or in both directions. If pumped north, it would be discharged into a manhole. The existing lines would not need to be increased in size. If pumped west, the sewage would go to the Woodside Estates pump station. Depending on the usage of the tract, this pump station might have to be upgraded. The developer would bear the cost of the upgrade. The existing six-inch force main from the Woodside Estates pump station is large enough to handie the increase in flow. If pumped east, (to the Sherando High School pump station), the station would have to be upgraded. It is possible that a new station would be required. The six-inch force main is of adequate size to handle the increased flow. D. I see no additional infrastructure being required. II. Whitfield Subdivision A. I see two methods of providing sewer service: 1. A gravity sewer system for the lots with all lines draining to a pump station This small station would discharge into the Woodside Estates pump station 10 OFFICE. 315 MACEDONIA CHURCH ROAD WATER AT YOUR SERVICE Evan A. Wyatt December 1, 1997 Page 2 /ths 2. Each lot discharging into a force main, that in turn discharges into the Woodside Estates pump station Each home would need its own grinder pump. The owner would install and maintain his own unit. Each pump would have to be sized so it could discharge into the force main while other pumps are also pumping. We prefer the gravity line/pump station system. B. The force main from Woodside Estates pump station is six -inches in diameter. C. There is adequate sewer capacity to serve these twenty-seven lots. The Woodside Estates station would not have to be upgraded. D. The sewer connection fees would be $2,065 per home. 11� John T.

One request deals with expanding the Urban Development Area to include the Preston Conner tract in Stephens City. The other is the extension of sewer service to Whitfield Subdivision on Double Church Road. It is evident that this corner of the county is growing tremendously. What may not be evident is that this area still has a lot of rural areas remaining. The proposals in question definitely he in border areas. Open and agricultural lands in this part of our county are diminishing due in part to development pressures. I would request that you carefully consider (which I know you will) the negative impact that these two changes could have in this area. This scenario of UDA and RA lands next to each other can be likened to the smoking and non-smoking sections of a restaurant: even if you are in non-smoking, the smoke will drift into your area if the two are not strategically placed and carefully screened. I simply request that you control this urban drift. Sincerely, John SteW COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/665-5651 FAX: 540/678-0682 M�� TO: Frederick County Planning Commission FROM: Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Director k^ RE: Whitfield Subdivision Sewer Service Extension Request DATE: December 4, 1997 The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) considered a request from Mr. Jim Petry to allow for the extension of sewer service from the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) to the Whitfield Subdivision. Mr. Petry advised the CPPS that the subdivision is experiencing failing drain field systems and that perk sites for undeveloped lots cannot be achieved; therefore, extending service would be the only option for developing the platted, undeveloped lots. Mr. Petry told the CPPS that James L. Bowman would make service available to all lot owners within the Whitfield Subdivision via a pressurized, two-inch force main system that would ultimately connect with a six-inch force main and pump station utilized for the Woodside Estates Subdivision located just to the northwest. Mr. Petry stated it would be the responsibility of individual lot owners to pay the required tap fees and install the grinder pumps that would be required for this system. It should be noted that the Whitfield Subdivision is served by public water; therefore, there is not a potential for well contamination within the subdivision. The CPPS acknowledged the fact that sewer with limited capacity has been extended outside of the SWSA on occasion; however, this was done to accomodate existing industrial, business, and institutional uses. The CPPS felt that there was not a compelling reason to extend sewer service at this time and stated that they did not want to set a precedent to extend sewer service outside of the SWSA for uses other than existing industrial, business, and institutional. Please find included under this agenda item a letter from Mr. Jim Petry to Mr. Kris C. Tierney, dated September 18, 1997, a location map and plat map depicting the Whitfield Subdivision, property ownership information, a memorandum from Mr. John Dailey, dated October 2, 1997, a memorandum from Evan A. Wyatt to Wellington H. Jones, dated November 17, 1997, with a response memorandum dated December 1, 1997, and a plan which depicts the proposed layout for the pressurized, two-inch force main system within the Whitfield Subdivision. 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Whitfield Subdivision Sewer Extension Request JASBO, INC.

These discussions involve the lack of sewer service to that subdivision. We are advised that there are a number of failing drainfields within the subdivision. We currently own seven lots which we have paid taxes on for years that are unbuildable for lack of a perk site. The subdivision currently has water service from FCSA. have discussed this matter with Mr. Wendy Jones of FCSA and he is in agreement that sewer service should be extended to this subdivision. We are asking the County to take whatever action is necessary allowing us to extend this service. Should there be any questions you can reach me at 662-7980. Sincerely, JASBO, INC.

Parks & Recreation: Based upon the master development plan, it appears that recreational units and open space requirements are being met. The size of the tot lots, the recreation building and pool area will need to be reviewed in the site development phase. County Engineer: The proposed master development plan is approved as submitted on 11/11/97, A detailed review will be made at the time of the site plan submission. It is suggested that a preliminary design meeting be scheduled prior to the initial site plan submission to discuss design parameters for the stormwater design. Planning and Zoning: Project History The original zoning maps of Frederick County demonstrate that parcel 53-A-60 was zoned B2, Business General District from North Frederick Pike (Route 522) to a depth of 200 feet, with the remaining acreage being zoned R-3, Residential General District. The R-3 portion of this property 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 Districts. On March 8, 1989, the Frederick County Board of Supervisors rezoned 5.4465 acres of this tract from RP District to B2 District, leaving 9.1669 acres of land remaining in the RP District. (Please refer to attached letter from Andrew D. Evans dated September 17, 1997 with Minor Property Line Adjustment Plats prepared by Furstenau Surveying.) Project Scope The applicant has proposed to develop the RP, Residential Performance, District acreage into 92 garden apartment units with recreational amenities. Access to these units is proposed to occur through the construction of a state -maintained road that will intersect North Frederick Pike (Route 522) with a terminus just south of the Adelphia Cable office building. The master development plan indicates that anew crossover will be constructed within the Route 522 median to provide for northbound access. The development is proposed to be served by underground utilities including public sewer and water from the north, as well as natural gas and electric. Autumn Wind Apartments MDP #008-97 Page 3 December 8, 1997 Issues 1) Density The Zoning Ordinance permits a maximum density of 10 units per acre on land that is zoned RP District which is less than 10 acres in size. The design engineer has indicated that 9.24 acres of parcel 53-A-60 is zoned RP District and has proposed a garden apartment development of 92 units. This creates an overall gross density of 9.95 units per acre which meets the maximum density requirement. It should be noted that the approved survey plat created for the 1989 rezoning application demonstrates that there are 9.1669 acres of land zoned RP District. Therefore, the applicant will need to reduce the proposed number of units to meet this density requirement, or demonstrate that the original survey is inaccurate. 2) Environmental Features The environmental features which exist on this site include a significant amount of woodlands and areas of steep slope. The applicant has indicated that there will be a disturbance of approximately 61.5% of the woodland area and 50% of the steep slope area. The Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum disturbance of 25% for each of these features; therefore, the proposed layout of this development will have to be modified to meet this requirement. Staff believes that there may be more than 3.9 acres of woodlands on the land zoned RP District. Staff will work with the design engineer to determine the accuracy of this calculation. 3) Transportation The proposal for access to this development is through the creation of a state -maintained road within a 50 -foot right-of-way. The location of this right-of-way and the median crossover appears to jibe with the future extension of Fort Collier Road to North Frederick Pike (Route 522) as demonstrated in the Winchester Area Transportation Study (WATS). If this project is approved and developed, the median crossover will eliminate a U-turn movement that occurs by vehicles leaving the Adelphia Cable office which desire to travel north on Route 522. STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR 12-17-97 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission discuss the issues raised by staff with the applicant during the December 17, 1997 meeting. Staff will work with the design engineer to determine if the concerns raised by the commission and review agencies can be adequately addressed. If these concerns result in the need to revise the master development plan layout, staff would recommend that the new proposal be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to consideration by the Board of Supervisors.

Owens Donlas A Kiracofe Director Firs Maapaet November 20, 1997 Greenway Engineering 151 Windy Hill Lane Winchester, Virginia 22602 Attn.: Mr. Mark Smith Dear Mr. Smith, I'm writing in response to your request for comments on the Autumn Wind Apartments Master Development Plan. There are several issues that need to be addressed in order to approve this project, although I'm not sure they must all be addressed at this phase of planning. The plan, as shown, does not give the Fire Department adequate access to the buildings, for firefighting purposes. We must have access for a Ladder Truck on each side of all buildings that are three (3) stories or more in height. This can be accomplished via Fire Lanes, so long as the Fire Lane is 20' in width, capable of supporting 65,000 lbs. and is a minimum of 32, from the face of the building, to the centerline of the Fire Lane. Further, the space between the Fire Lane and the building cannot be encumbered by trees, which could hamper firefighting and rescue efforts, from a Ladder Truck. The configuration of parking and buildings, on this plan, is going to be very congested If parking occurs outside of designated areas, access to the buildings, for emergency vehicles, would be blocked. There are no alternative routes for Fire and Rescue vehicles to take in case of emergency. Further, the parking lot arrangement, as shown, will severely hamper any fireground operations that may be necessary. Once a piece of apparatus hooks to a hydrant, no other vehicles can access the site. This would hamper additional Fire and Rescue vehicles from entering the area, and would prohibit the evacuation of private vehicles from the site. Hydrant locations are not shown on the Master Development Plan. Two (2) hydrants are required within 300' of each building, and these must be on water mains with a minimum 8" diameter. Water main sizes should be shown on the site plan. Care must also be given to placing the Automatic Sprinkler Siamese connections within 100' of hydrants. These buildings, three (3) stories or more, will be required to have NFPA 13R Sprinkler systems installed, and will have FDC connections. Director (540) 665-5618 • Fire Marshal (540) 665-6350 • Fax (540) 678-4739 Greenway Engineering Page 2 The inherent fire potential and difficulty in fighting fires in garden apartments is widely known to the Fire Service. There is a serious threat to the occupants of the buildings, and to the firefighters who must fight fires in the buildings, if careful consideration is not given to pre -planning, access, and firefighting operations. I would be glad to meet with you to discuss these issues, or assist you in addressing these issues on the Site Plan. If I can be of any further assistance on this project, please do not hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, Douglas A.

Aitn: Mr. CH Casey 2045-A Valley Avenue Winchester, VA 22601 Dear Mr. Casey: This letter is in reference to property that is located on Route 522 north of Winchester, which is presently owned by John and David Lewis. This property is designated as parcel numbers 60 and 60A on taY map 53 in the Gainesboro Magisterial District. Currently, our zoning map indicates that these parcels are zoned B-2 (General Business), You recently contacted our department regarding an apparent inaccuracy in the zoning of these parcels as reflected by our records. After investigating the matter, I found that rezoning request 1001-89 of Park-fieldAssociates to rezone 5.4465 acres from RP (Residential Performance) to B-2 (General Business) was approved by the Frederick Co6iity Board of Supervisors on March 8, 1989. It appears that 6.50 acres of this property was zoned B-2 at the time of the rezoning request. After the rezoning request was approved, the total amount of land that was zoned B-2 was 11.9465 acres. The remaining 9.1669 acres of this property previousiv mentioned, our zoning map currently indicates that these parcels are zoned B-2 to their entirety. We will immediately update our zoning map to reflect the correct zoning of these parcels. Tax map 53, parcel number 60 A. which consists of 2.0465 acres, will retain its B-2 zoning. Tax map 53, parcel number 60 will now Show 9.9 acres zoned B-2 and 9.1669 acres zoned R.P. If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our department. We appreciate your patience in this matter, and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused Sincerelv, Andrew D. Brans Zoning Administrator ADEJbah U:11EFflCONt\IOMCORRESPO�C.aSEY.
