2
Mrs. Copenhaver reported that the Comprehensive Plan Subcommittee discussed
the draft for the changes in the Comprehensive Plan that pertain to the corridor studies, Routes
7, 50, and 11. She said that two public meetings are scheduled for September 12 at Senseny
Road Elementary School and September 19 at Robert E. Aylor Middle School. Both meetings
will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Development Review & Regulations Subcommittee (DR&RS) - 7/26/94 Mt
Mr. Thomas reported that the DR&RS discussed landscaping requirements for
entranceways into the City based on the Economic Development Committee's Corridor
Appearance Task Force recommendations. Mr. Thomas said that the Subcommittee also
reviewed the new state farming regulations and how the County's ordinance will have to be
amended to meet those state regulations.
Sanitation Authority___ 7/20/94_Mtg`
Mrs. Copenhaver reported that the expansion of the Parkins Mill Sewage
Treatment Plant has begun. She also noted that the Stephens City water tower was supposed to
have gone on line July 26.
Transportation Committee - 8/1/94 Mt .
Mr. Thomas reported that a presentation was given to the Transportation
Committee bike paths and designated bikeways. Mr. Thomas said that the presentation pointed
out that the County needs to have a coordinated transportation plan, not only for bike paths, but
for pedestrians and motorized vehicles. He said that a pedestrian plan is still needed for the
County.
Chairman Golladay said that VDOT will have most of the incidental construction
items that are on the Six Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan in this year's budget for
construction. Chairman Golladay requested that Commissioners contact the staff with any
additional incidental construction items that need to be added to the plan.
SUBDIVISIONS
Subdivision Application #004-94 of Woodside to establish 66 lots for single-family
3
detached housing. This property is identified with PIN 86-A--20 and is located west and
adjacent to Route 641, approximately 0.25 miles south of the intersection of Route 277
and Route 641, behind the Jamesway Shopping Center in the Opequon District.
Action - Approved
Mr. Miller said that the proposed subdivision conforms with the approved MDP
with two exceptions. He said the plan shows Barkwood Drive being "stubbed off" where it joins
the Stowe property and utilizing a "Y" turnaround. He said that VDOT will not permit this and
the applicant is in the process of revising the plan. Mr. Miller said the other exception is that
Driftwood Drive is the only street on the plan that indicates a sidewalk along the street. Mr.
Miller said that the zoning ordinance requires sidewalks on both sides of all streets in
subdivisions containing lots of 15,000 square feet or less.
Mr. Ronald Mislowski, with G. W. Clifford & Associates, was representing this
application.
The Commissioners were in agreement that sidewalks were needed on both sides
of all the streets within this subdivision to provide a place for adults and children to walk. Due
to the close proximity of a shopping center, they felt this subdivision would have considerable
pedestrian traffic.
The Commission commented on the fact that VDOT was requiring a 5' width on
the sidewalks rather than 4'. The staff noted that this was due to a decreased angle on the
entrance ramps and A.D.A. requirements.
The Commission discussed access to the Meadows on the west side of Driftwood.
Staff noted that a subdivision would be needed to establish and dedicate the road.
Mr. Mislowski described the design for the temporary turn -around on Barkwood.
Mr. Mislowski said_ this was a typical temporary turn -around with a 40' radius for emergency
vehicles. He said an easement is in place until the road is extended.
Mr. Sager stated for the record his concern about the traffic situation on Route 641. Mr.
Sager stated his dismay that no relief had yet been provided for vehicles coming northbound to
make a left turn into this subdivision. He said that the traffic light is overtaxed, Route 277 is
overtaxed and the people in Ridgefield and the Meadows subdivisions have difficulty getting in
and out of their subdivisions. Mr. Sager questioned why the roadway could not be expanded just
enough to provide a left turn lane northbound so that traffic may pass and not rear -end another
vehicle.
In summary, the Commissioners were pleased with the overall design of the
subdivision, however, they felt that sidewalks were needed on both sides of all streets within the
subdivision to handle pedestrian traffic. They also felt that all of VDOTs requirements needed
4
to be met, and in particular, those regarding sidewalk widths and temporary turn-arounds.
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Light,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby approve
Subdivision Application #004-94 of Woodside for 66 lots for single-family detached housing
contingent on sidewalks being added to both sides of all streets and that all staff and review
agency comments are adequately addressed prior to final administrative approval and recordation.
The vote was as follows:
YES (to approve): Stone, Light, Copenhaver, Wilson, Romine, Thomas, DeHaven, Shickle
NO: Morris
ABSTAIN: Golladay
MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Preliminary Master Development Plan #004-94 of Star Fort to establish 163 single-family
detached homes_ This property is identified with PIN 54-A-1 and is located adjacent and
south of Lauck Drive (Rt_ 832) and adjacent and east of Route 522 North, in the
Gainesboro District.
Action - Recommendation of Approval
Mr. John H. Foote, Attorney for the developer, and Mr. Charles W. Maddox, Jr.,
design engineer, were representing the applicants, Mr. George Glaize and Mr. Carlin Smith.
Mr. Foote said that the deed that granted the Star Fort property to Middlesex Artillery Fleets
Battery, Inc. required that Star Fort be maintained perpetually as open space and as a historic
preservation site. Mr. Foote said that the MDP presented is for the residential development that
surrounds the Star Fort site. He said that resources to maintain the site currently do not exist
and they are proposing a "per lot assessment" to each residential lot for the operation of Star
Fort. He said that this will be public money subject to public scrutiny. Mr. Foote said that this
will be a funding mechanism for the operation and maintenance of Star Fort, however, the
property owners would not be liable for maintenance or accidents occurring on the Star Fort site.
Mr. Foote also noted that the applicant will provide public access to the fort and they will
provide buffering from the surrounding residential development.
Mr. Maddox said that their intent is to protect Star Fort's vista to Winchester and
to properly buffer adjacent uses in order to give the visitor to Star Fort a "re-creation"
experience. Mr. Maddox showed slides of the Star Fort site and surrounding uses; he indicated
5
the general location of the main entrance onto Route 522; he discussed the stormwater
management plan, which consisted of road side ditches, culverts; and surface flow; he explained
the circular loop road and the bikeway/pathway which are planned through the residential
development; he also addressed the commercial area proposed along Route 522.
The Commission was concerned about the applicant's stormwater management plan
because of the history of drainage problems in this general area. They were also concerned
about whether noise coming from Shockey Brothers, Inc. would impact the site.
Mr. Foote stated that they were prepared to put notes on individual property deeds
warning people of the existence of surrounding industrial development and of the probability that
Shockeys may expand their operations in the future.
The Commission discussed areas of the site that needed to be buffered. They felt
that the Star Fort site needed to be buffered from surrounding residential development and that
the residential development needed buffered from the proposed commercial areas and surrounding
industrial uses. Parking and bike trails were also discussed.
It was noted that VDOT did not want an access to Lauck Drive (Rt. 832);
however, the staff and applicant felt that a second access was necessary, especially for emergency
vehicles. Commissioners felt that Lauck Drive would become a much busier street. They felt
that if Lauck Drive was "de-emphasized" and a fully functioning main entrance was placed at
Rt. 522, that the majority of traffic would choose that route.
Mr. Tierney presented the background material and agency review comments.
Mr. Tierney said that a letter was submitted by Mr. J. Donald Shockey, Jr. on behalf of Shockey
Bros., Inc. stating for the record their intention to expand their facility in the future. Mr.
Tierney brought the Commission's attention to the issue of dedicating property, not owned by
the applicant, for open space and the precedent it may set. He said that if the owners of the fort
were a party to the application, then the acreage could be considered a part of the plan.
Chairman Golladay called for public comment and the following persons came
forward:
Mr. Robert Rhodes, the President of Fleets Virginia Battery Middlesex Artillery,
the owners of Star Fort, was present to speak in favor of the proposed master development plan.
Mr. Rhodes stated that when the fort property was downzoned by the Board of Supervisors, they
approved the fort as open space for future development. He said the deed of gift obtained by
Middlesex Artillery for the original three acres stated the land was open space and was accepted
as an agreement between Middlesex Artillery and the giftees that this would remain as open
space. In 1981, an additional four acres was gifted under the same conditions.
Mr. Rhodes felt the proposed development plan was Middlesex Artillery's
opportunity to do something positive with Star Fort. He felt the fort would be more meaningful
31
if it was partially reconstructed with a museum in the commercial area, which was their long
term goal. Mr. Rhodes said that the Middlesex group has been working with the developer for
the last 12 years and they are very much in favor of what the developer is proposing.
Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, former member of the Planning Commission and former
Board of Supervisors Chairman, also gave the Commission some historical background
concerning the Star Fort site. Mr. Stiles said that the fort was zoned R6 in the early 1960s for
a high-density townhouse/apartment development. He said that about 10 acres of the R6 was
down zoned with the Comprehensive down zoning in 1980. He said that the Board accepted that
when Mr. Smith donated the property to Mr. Rhodes' group that this would be part of the open
space required for any development there.
Mr. Stiles felt that with regard to the Rt. 832 access, he understood the problems
the neighbors would have, but as a practical matter, he felt the bulk of the traffic would use the
Route 522 entrance. He felt that Rt. 832 was in good condition and it was policy for every
subdivision to have two access points. Mr. Stiles also stated that Mr. Rhodes has struggled with
Star Fort since 1980 with no outside assistance. Mr. Stiles felt this situation would benefit Star
Fort and he felt the County should support it.
Mr. George Glossner, resident on the west side of Lauck Drive, was concerned
about water runoff from the development creating drainage problems on his property. He also
requested that the Commission accept VDOT's recommendation not to have an access on Lauck
Drive.
Mrs. Susan Mallozzi, resident on Lauck Drive, was also opposed to having an
access to Lauck Drive. She said that Lauck Drive is now a low traffic street and children play
on the street. Mrs. Mallozzi was also concerned about getting cracks in her home if the
developer needed to blast to put roads in.
Mr. Robert Watkins, Frederick County Planning Director and staff support to the
Winchester -Frederick County Battlefield Task Force, said that the Task Force is very much in
support of the developer's proposal in terms of historic preservation. Mr. Watkins said that all
of the historic preservation groups are represented on the Task Force. He said that they have
reviewed this MDP and there is no dissent among them. Mr. Watkins said that the members of
the Task Force feel this is a positive way to address the issues of Star Fort and is a way to
preserve the historic site without using County funds.
At this time, a motion was made by Mrs. Copenhaver, seconded by Mr. Wilson,
and unanimously passed to make the letter from J. Donald Shockey, Jr., of Shockey Bros, Inc.,
a part of the official record.
The Commission requested some assurance from the applicant that there would
not be problems from the residential development with noise that may be generated by the
existing surrounding industry; that the applicant work with the staff to provide a road connection
7
to Lauck Drive; that the applicant work with the staff towards. a satisfactory resolution of the
open space issue; that it be made clear that individual lot owners would not be liable for
maintenance or any accidents occurring at the Fort property.
Upon motion made by Mr. Shickle and seconded by Mr. DeHaven,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously
recommend approval of Preliminary Master Development Plan #004-94 of Star Fort to establish
163 single-family detached homes contingent upon the staff and the applicant working out an
agreeable road connection to Lauck Drive and upon satisfactory resolution of the open space
issue, the provision of required buffers, and compliance with all other staff and review agency
comments.
Discussion regarding a rezoning request by Frank M. Funk to down zone from RP
(Residential Performance) to RA (Rural Areas) to establish lots for placement of mobile
homes. This property is located on the west side of Route 647 in the Opequon District.
Mr. Tierney said that Mr. Funk is considering applying for the rezoning of two
small lots, fronting on the west side of Route 647, from RP to RA. Mr. Tierney said that the
purpose for the rezoning would permit Mr. Funk to allow two of his grandchildren to place
mobile homes on the lots. Mr. Tierney said that mobile homes are not permitted under the
present RP zoning.
The Commission felt there were some potential problems with allowing a small
piece of RA zoning in the midst of an urban/ residential area. They felt there would be potential
conflicts in terms of non -compatibility of uses and were not generally in favor of the request.
Mr. Funk was not present.
Discussion regarding a proposed rezoning of 16 acres (the Wierman property) from RA
(Rural Areas) to RP (Residential Performance) for general development. This property
is located west of Mill Race Estates in the Stonewall District.
Mr. Ron Mislowski, P.E. with G. W. Clifford & Associates, gave the
Commission a preliminary presentation on a proposed rezoning of 17.6 acres, on the north side
of Valley Mill Road (Rt. 659), just west of Mill Race Estates, from RA (Rural Area, to RP
(Residential Performance). Mr. Mislowski said that there will be some land transfers taking
place between the Wierman property and the adjacent Racey property to make up the 17.6 acres.
Mr. Mislowski said that they plan to connect to Millrace Drive for access. He said that they are
proposing 28 lots consisting of 17,000 square feet minimum per lot.
The Commissioners were concerned about the impacts to traffic and services in
that area.
Mr. Watkins stated that this area was in the Urban Development Area of the
Comprehensive Plan, however, impacts would have to be mitigated in some way. Mr. Watkins
said that the proffer system may be able to address the impacts and he also suggested that a full-
scale traffic study be done.
Mr. Richard Pifer, one of the partners for this project, said that the large lots, low
density they are proposing would minimize the number of trips going through Millrace Estates.
He said that they intentionally did not connect to Valley Mill Road because of the high volume
traffic and condition of that road.
No action was needed by the Commission at this time.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 10:06 p.m.

RE: Informal Discussion Concerning the Extension of Sewer Outside the Sewer
and Water Service Area
DATE: September 9, 1994
Attached is a brief letter from Arthur Fulton requesting time on the Commission's agenda.
Mr. Fulton is interested in extending sewer to his property located on the south side of
Route 277, just east of the intersection with Route 636. (See attached map.)
Mr. Fulton's property is outside of the Urban Development Area and the Sewer and Water
Service Area. The boundary for both is north of 277 and west of 636. The property is made
up of two parcels containing approximately 14.6 and 12.2 acres, both of which are zoned M-
2 (Industrial General) and is the site of the former Fulton Trucking Company and offices.
Mr. Fulton proposes to hook a two inch line into a pump station located near the pool in
Sherando Park, run the line up the west side of Route 636, across property owned by a third
party, then go under 636 to his property. He proposes that a holding tank which would be
pumped periodically, would be utilized for solids and that the sewer connection would only
be used for liquid waste.
There have been instances where the County has seen fit to extend the Sewer and Water
Service Area in order to support commercial/industrial development. An example of this
would be the land along the west side of Route 522, near Armel school, owned by Wright's
Run Limited Partnership, which was subsequently rezoned for commercial use. There are
issues which should be considered however. The proposed line would run across land
owned by a third party. Should the County permit the request, it might be difficult to deny
use of the li le to this property Thc+ (1�mr�rnt Dl., _ _ � uld d 1_ -l-' —

Arthur H. Fulton Discussion
September 8, 1994
Another hurdle would be that in order to run a line across the park, State approval would
be needed similar to the process that was undertaken to relocate Warrior Road.
Staff feels that in light of the fact that the property is already zoned M-1 and nearly fully
developed, it would be appropriate to permit the expansion of the Sewer and Water Service
Area. In order to complete the extension Mr. Fulton will still need to satisfy the
requirements of the Sanitation Authority and gain the necessary approvals from the County
Parks and Recreation Commission, and the State.

RE: Informal Discussion; Proposed M-1 Rezoning Along Route 50 West for D.K.
Erectors
DATE: September 8, 1994
Attached is a letter dated September 1, 1994 from Charlotte Kollar requesting inclusion on
your agenda to discuss the proposed rezoning of 11 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to M-1
(Light Industrial). The property is located north of Route 50 and adjacent the northern
limits of the existing D.K. Erectors location which is currently zoned M-1.
Also attached is a second letter from Mrs. Kollar, dated September 7, 1994. This letter
describes the business of D.K. Erectors both on and off site, explains why the rezoning is
desired, and forecasts what sort of changes would take place at the site should the rezoning
be approved.
A plat showing the boundaries of the parcel as well as a location map are also attached.
The Kollars would appreciate whatever input or guidance the Commission can offer.

RE: Rezoning Comments - September 21, 1994 Planning Commission
Meeting
Dear Mr. Tierney:
In preparation for an informal discussion of D. K. Erectors' pending
rezoning application at the Planning Commission meeting on 9/21, I wanted
to supply some background information and some rationale for our request.
Current Business
D. K. Erectors & Maintenance, Inc., located across from the intersection of
Rt. 50 west and Rt. 614 in Frederick County, is an steel erection and
industrial service company. Our operations include miscellaneous metal
fabrication, machinery installation, and equipment maintenance for local
manufacturing facilities. Our customers include most of the major companies
in our area including Hershey, Kraft, Southeastern Container, Crown Cork
and Seal, Abex, National Fruit, and Rubbermaid.
On-site Fabrication
The type of metal fabrication we do is primarily non-structural, that is
not the fabrication of girder systems to construct large buildings. Our
fabrication operation produces the scale of steel product used in the
construction of manufacturing production lines and conveyer systems,
e. g., service platforms, mezzanines, stairs and handrails.
Off-site Operations
Off-site, we erect steel for large facilities of different kinds
(manufacturing, warehousing, aviation, etc.), and install and maintain
manufacturing equipment in a variety of industrial sectors.
RezoninLf Necessi
We have been operating at our current 10 acre facility for nearly ten years.
Our current location is zoned M2. We are hoping to rezone an adjoining 11
acre parcel from agricultural to M1 in order to continue our operations in an
efficient and sound manner. We have simply run out of space and our shop
facility is old and inadequate.
Plans for Use of M 1 Acrea P
We have two primary intentions for use of the proposed Ml acreage:
(1) to continue our current operations more efficiently, and,
(2) to construct a new shop facility (approximately 10,000 sq. ft.) for
under -roof equipment and materials storage.
Personnel and Traffic Expansion
We anticipate that up to three new field crew members could be hired as a
result of this improvement. Since the nature of our business would not be
changing (we go to our customers, not vice versa), we do not anticipate a
marked increase in vehicular traffic. Growth of our business is more a
question of market variables than physical plant improvements, although one
always hopes that business will increase in the future.
Statement of Intent
Since D. K. Erectors has been located at our present site, we have
consistently improved both the appearance and the soundness of the
property. We maintain a distinctly non -industrial, non-commercial facade.
We have never posted a business sign. (We will provide some photographs of
the office and the shop area to the meeting for viewing.) A neat and
organized appearance is part of our company philosophy, has been for years,
and will continue to guide our actions and decisions in the future.
Thank you for this opportunity to lend some background to our request in
preparation for the September 21 meeting.
Sincerely,
� � �al �Q'/a�

RE: Discussion of Proposed Modification of Eastern Road Plan
DATE: September 12, 1994
Attached is a letter from Steve Gyurisin of G. W. Clifford and Associates which
references attached maps of the Eastern Road Plan. Clifford and Associates has some
fairly significant changes they would like to propose for the plan.
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee will be making minor updates to the
plan as part of their annual update of the Comprehensive Plan. The changes which are
anticipated involve the removal or realignment of certain road connections due to
changing circumstances or development patterns. The changes proposed by Clifford are
more radical than those which have been contemplated by the Comprehensive Plans and
Programs Committee; however, the staff feels that they warrant serious examination and
consideration.
Perhaps the most significant change in the Clifford proposal is the de -emphasis of
Greenwood Road as a north -south collector in favor of a new north -south collector
through Abrams point that would connect up with a slightly realigned entrance to the
Winchester Mall site.
Clifford also proposes substantial changes to the major versus minor collector road
classifications.
Chuck Maddox will be present at the Planing Commission meeting to describe his
proposal.

RE: Eastern Road Plan Alternatives
Dear Mr. Tierney:
A copy of the proposed alternatives to the Eastern Road Plan is enclosed for your
presentation to the Planning Commission and Planning Committees.
As we have discussed, this proposal impacts the Comprehensive Plan and the
Secondary Road Improvement Plan. The impacts on both documents is minimal
since the overall intent of the Comprehensive Plan is not changed, and since Route
656, Greenwood Road, remains the top priority road improvement project.
The most critical impact is on the timing of road improvements to fulfill the
Comprehensive Plan goals. An opportunity exists now to evaluate various
transportation alternatives for the Eastern section of Frederick County. This
discussion of alternatives and the many interlinking factors of a plan or ordinance
change was on the agenda of the recent Development Review and Regulations
Committee. Most felt that a more in depth discussion of any ordinance change or
any road plan change was needed by various planning committees.
The enclosed maps -represent a summary of alternatives for discussion. If we can
assist you with any additional materials for presentation, please call.
