MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLANS:
Master Development Plan #006-92 of James R. Wilkins, III for 88 townhouses and 76
apartments. This property is identified by Parcel ID #54000020000100 and is located on
the south side of Route 659 in the Shawnee Magisterial District. (This item was tabled
3
from the Commission's December 6 and January 6 meetings.)
Action - Approved
Mr. Bruce Edens, Engineer with Greenway Engineering & Surveying
Company, was present to represent Mr. James R. Wilkins, III, the owner. Mr. Edens
presented the plan to the Commission, noting that the plan was redesigned somewhat from
the draft copy submitted in November. He said that there was some difficulty meeting the
distance requirements from the road. Mr. Edens pointed out an entrance located on Route
658 (Brookland Lane), one in the area of the townhouses out to Valley Mill Road, and one
from the apartments. He said that VDOT did not agree to a direct entrance from the
apartments to Valley Mill Road.
Chairman Golladay called for anyone in the audience wishing to speak either
in favor or opposition and the following person came forward:
Mr. Thomas Dientz, an area resident, inquired if the developer would be using
Brookland Heights as access for construction vehicles. Mr. Dientz was also concerned about
the safety of children who might be playing in the area of the drainage ponds. Mr. Edens
replied that Brookland Heights would not be used for construction vehicles. Regarding the
ponds, he said that there would not be any water remaining in those in less than an hour
after it rained.
Mr. Thomas said that he realized that the density for this particular proposal
was within that allowed by the ordinance, but in light of the fact that this area already had
a high density of development, he questioned whether maximum utilization was appropriate
based on the existing and surrounding conditions. Mr. Thomas was also concerned about
the additional traffic, especially at the intersections where bottlenecking was already a
problem.
Other Commissioners shared Mr. Thomas' concerns about traffic congestion
and stormwater management with continued development. They felt this area had the
potential for stormwater management problems because of the existing high density
development and poor drainage quality of the soil. They also had concerns about increased
traffic on Route 659 and potential bottlenecking at the intersection of Route 7 and Route
659.
The Commission did feel, however, that the proposal was appropriate, since
this area was already zoned for development and there was a need for higher density
housing in Frederick County. The Commissioners also felt that the housing types proposed
(townhouses/apartments) were appropriate because of surrounding existing housing types,
However, they felt that the intersections in the area needed to be worked on and careful
attention paid to the stormwater management plan submitted by the applicant.
4
Mr. James R. Wilkins, III, the owner, came forward to address some of the
Commission's concerns, however, a detailed traffic analysis or detailed stormwater
management had not yet been done.
Upon motion made by Mr. DeHaven and seconded by Mr. Shenk,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby
recommend approval of Preliminary Master Development Plan #006-92 of James R.
Wilkins, III for 88 townhouses and 76 apartments provided that all staff comments and
review agency comments are addressed.
The vote on this master plan was:
YES (TO APPROVE): Golladay, Marker, Copenhaver, Carper, Light, DeHaven, Shenk
NO: Thomas
DISCUSSION WITH PATTON, HARRIS, RUST AND ASSOCIATES (PHR&A)
REGARDING THE PRINCE FREDERICK OFFICE PARK
No Action
Mr. Thomas announced that he would abstain from discussion of this matter
due to a possible conflict of interest.
Staff noted that the site was located in the Shawnee Magisterial District on
the south side of Route 50 East, approximately 1/2 mile east of the intersection with Route
522 South. The total site area was 91.903 acres, zoned B2 (Business General) District. Staff
noted that one item of concern associated with the proposal regards the provision of through
roads from this site to the Winchester Regional Airport Authority site and the Donald E.
Garber site. Staff believed that these connections were necessary to provide a suitable
transportation network for this area.
Mr. John Hash, Mr. Douglas Kennedy, Mr. Carl Rinker, and Mr. George
Foard, all with PHR&A, came forward to informally discuss the road concerns with the
Commission. Mr. John Hash said that if the roads were extended as suggested by the staff,
VDOT would require the roads to be constructed as four -lane roads. Mr. Douglas Kennedy,
PHR&A's Transportation Engineer, said that his traffic analysis indicated that this property
would be able to support 800,000 square foot of employment uses with a two-lane access at
Route 50 with additional turn lanes and traffic signals. Mr. Kennedy felt that four -lane
roads would act as a magnet to attract trips and go beyond the collector road function. He
said that PHR&A would like to work with VDOT and the County to find a solution that
5
allows for the regional access, but also allows for the site traffic demand.
The Commissioners said that they were not requesting a commitment on the
developer's part to build a four -lane road, only that the roads be designed on the plan so
that it would be possible to connect them in the future if traffic warranted.
Mr. Tom Dickinson, attorney representing the owners, said that they did not
have any problems showing the connection to adjoining properties and he felt any problems
could be worked out.
DISCUSSION WITH DAVID M. SMITH JR. REGARDING A MULTIPLEX
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE SUNNYSIDE AREA.
No Action
Staff noted that the plan proposed by Mr. Smith would need variances from
the normal road efficiency buffer requirement of 80' and from the setback requirement of
20' from parking areas/ driveways. Though not labeled on the plan, the parking areas
proposed were in the form of circular driveways. Staff said that before requesting these
variances from the Board of Zoning Appeals, the applicant would like to get the
Commission's reaction to his proposal. The concept was to have condominium -type
ownership of the property, rather than to divide the property into individual lots requiring
a road built to state standards. Staff also noted that the Subdivision Ordinance restriction
on the length of an access route from a state -maintained road (500') is exceeded in the plan.
And finally, it was noted that the Fire Marshal has stated that the 12 foot lane shown on
the plan was not wide enough for fire vehicles.
Mr. David M. Smith, Jr., the owner, presented his proposal to the Commission
and addressed some of the concerns raised.
Mr. Charles Maddox, Engineer with G. W. Clifford & Associates, was also
present to speak in favor of Mr. Smith's proposal.
The Planning Commission recognized the positive aspects of the proposal: the
density proposed was lower than what was permitted by the ordinance, the housing units
were naturally buffered from adjacent single-family development, and the site had its own
separate access. They felt that the overall concept reflected what was intended by the RP
ordinance to allow diversity in housing types and was suited for this particular parcel;
however, the concerns raised by the staff still needed to be addressed as well as the issue
of compatibility of the multiplex units next to a single-family development.
No formal action was taken by the Commission at this time.
Ch
DISCUSSION WITH G.W. CLIFFORD & ASSOCIATES REGARDING A PROPOSED 250 -
UNIT TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT OFF OF VALLEY MILL ROAD
No Action
Mr. Charles W. Maddox, Jr. of G.W. Clifford & Associates, presented the
proposal to the Commission. Mr. Maddox said that they were proposing a 247 -unit
townhouse development on a 32 acre site, zoned RP, located off Valley Mill Road. The
parcel adjoins the Wilkins tract (to the south) which was considered earlier for apartment
and townhouse units.
The Commission's concerns were basically the same as those for the Wilkin's
development, since the development proposals were adjacent to each other. They were
concerned about problems associated with increased traffic and the potential for drainage
problems in the area with additional development. Commissioners felt the potential existed
here for regional stormwater management and road network planning and it was a good
opportunity for the two property owners to develop a joint proposal on dealing with the
problems associated with this area.
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE 1995 FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF RURAL
ROUTES
Action - Approved
Mr. Wyatt said that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has
directed VDOT to update the functional classification for urban and rural routes throughout
the state. He said that VDOT has completed their comprehensive review of all state routes
within Virginia and has provided Frederick County with a copy of the 1995 Functional
Classification Plan. This plan is part of the state's planning effort and is in conjunction with
the Intermodal Surface transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA).
Mr. Wyatt said that ISTEA has authorized the development of a National
Highway System (NHS) and the purpose of the NHS is to provide an interconnected system
of principal arterial routes which will serve major population centers. Mr. Wyatt presented
a list of primary and secondary routes that have been reclassified from VDOT's 1990
Functional Classification Plan and a copy of the 1992 Frederick County Functional
Classification Plan for the Planning Commission's consideration.
The Planning Commission had concerns that reclassification of state routes
would effect the state's funding of primary and secondary roads. The Commission felt that
they could concur with the reclassification plan provided that the funding of primary and
secondary road projects followed current practices.
Upon motion made by Mr. Marker and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby
unanimously recommend approval of the 1995 Functional Classification Plan, however, the
Commission does oppose any change in funding or funding mechanisms for future primary
and secondary road improvements in Frederick County.
1992 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
The staff presented the 1992 Annual Report for the Department of Planning
& Development. The report contained information concerning the state of the County,
current planning issues, development and land use proposals that have been approved, and
planning progress during the previous year. No action was taken by the Planning
Commission.
STATUS OF THE ALTERNATE WASTEWATER TREATMENT STUDY
The staff brought the Commission up-to-date on the Alternate Wastewater
Treatment Study for the Clearbrook/Brucetown and Roundhill Community Centers. Mr.
Tierney noted that a consulting firm had been selected and contract details should be
worked out within the next few weeks. He said that a report should be available within 90
days after the contract was finalized. He added that the Health Department's report on the
septic survey was available for anyone who may be interested.
FUNDING FOR PARKS AND RECREATION
Mr. Watkins presented a memo from Lanny Bise, Planner II, which was a
response to a request by the Commission for information on the percentage of total capital
improvements funds that other localities allocate towards Parks and Recreation facilities.
Chairman Golladay accepted the report for the Commission's information.
LV
OTHER (FREDERICK WOODS)
Mr. Thomas brought the Commission's attention to the fact that Frederick
Woods' developers have removed much more of the woodland area than indicated on their
master plan. He said that they have also bulldozed soil halfway up trees, which will result
in many trees dying. Mr. Thomas suggested that the Commission may want to incorporate
some method for enforcing the 25% disturbance/steep slope disturbance policy in the
ordinance.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Joint Worksession--HRAB PC & BOS - 2/26/93 Mt .
Mr. Watkins said that the HRAB and Maral Kalbian presented results of Frederick
County's Historic Sites Survey to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
Discussion centered on direction for the HRAB with emphasis on education, incentive
approaches, and various programs. Mr. Watkins said that the HRAB will evaluate what was
heard at that meeting and determine what direction they want to proceed in for the future.
Tran, ortation Committee - 3/1/93 M1g.
Mr. Thomas reported that the Transportation Committee reviewed the 1993
Primary Road Improvement Plan and discussed the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency
Act (ISTEA).
Mr. Thomas said that the committee also received an executive summary of the
Corridor H Program. He said that the northern route selected will have significant impacts on
Frederick County and Winchester traffic. Mr. Thomas felt the plan needed to be assessed further
to determine whether improvements to our area would be included with that plan.
Board of Supervisors
Mrs. Sherwood said that there will be some informational meetings coming up on
the budget. The department heads will be available to answer questions from the public on
March 10 at James Wood High School and March 18 at Armel School. Mrs. Sherwood said that
the public hearing on the budget will be held on March 24.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Junior Triplett, 363 Front Royal Pike, came forward with a complaint
regarding two recently sold parcels of property with bad septic systems and undrinkable water.
Mr. Triplett said that he informed Mr. Ed Molden that the parcels he purchased adjoining his
residence had bad septic systems and that the water on one parcel was undrinkable. Mr. Triplett
said that Mr. Molden has since turned on the electricity to the old house and has not connected
to the Sanitary Sewer System. Mr. Triplett said that be went to the Health Department about
the problem, but nothing has yet been done. He said that he discovered that a Mr. C. A.
Molden is Vice Chairman on the Sanitation Authority and since the Moldens own or rent
3
approximately 300 different properties, he felt that Mr. Molden's position on this committee was
a conflict of interest.
Chairman Golladay advised Mr. Triplett to speak to the Board of Supervisors,
since the Sanitation Authority was a Board -appointed committee and to speak with Mr. Kodar,
the Director of the Frederick -Winchester Health Department.
AMENDMENT OF THE AGENDA
Upon motion made by Mrs. Copenhaver and seconded by Mr. Marker, the
Commission unanimously agreed to move Item #9 (Discussion regarding rezoning impacts on
Fire & Rescue facilities) up to Tab E and to move Item #5 (MDP #001-93 of Prince Frederick
Office Park) after consideration of the conditional use permit (CUP #002-93 of Ryland Homes).
DISCUSSION REGARDING REZONING IMPACTS ON FIRE & RESCUE
FACILITIES
Mr. Watkins said that an impact model has been developed which the staff uses
to measure the actual financial impact of a rezoning on county facilities (capital costs only) such
as schools, parks, etc. He said that a problem with the model, is that it currently does not
measure a financial impact on fire and rescue capital costs in any situation. The reason for this
is that the model only measures impacts in relation to the county budget and the county's
contribution to Fire & Rescue Companies' capital costs. Because the county only covers a
fraction of the actual capital costs associated with fire and rescue, no impacts were generated out
of any of the cases examined by the model.
Mr. Watkins said that essentially, the fire companies have to seek other sources
of contributions to take care of capital costs not covered by the county. Mr. Watkins said that
the proffer system language states that cash can be accepted for facilities identified by the C.I.P.
or for items not normally included in the C.I.P.
Mr. Watkins said that the staff has modified the impact model to identify capital
costs associated with fire and rescue. He said that the staff recommends that this modification
be included in the impact analysis for rezonings.
The Commission had questions on how the funds would be received, who would
administer the funds, and who would oversee spending of the funds.
Mr. Thomas Owens, Director of Emergency Services, said that the proffer must
first be legally received by the county government. Once the funds are received by the Finance
4
Department, a memorandum is written forwarding the funds to the appropriate fire & rescue
company. He said that each fire company sets up a proffer line item within their budget. Mr.
Owens said that certain procedures are followed so that the money can be traced and a financial
statement is done at the end of each year.
The Commissioners were in favor of including fire and rescue capital costs within
the impact model, however, they stressed the importance of making sure that the funds were used
within the law of the statute. (It was noted that the proffers could only be used for capital costs
and not operational costs.)
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Light,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously
endorse the staff's recommendation to modify the impact model to include rezoning impacts on
fire and rescue services and recommends approval to the Board of Supervisors.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Conditional Use Permit #002-93 of Ryland Homes for an off -premise business sign. This
property is identified by Parcel I.D. #750000A0000370 and is located on the west side
of Route 647 at the intersection of Westmoreland Drive in the Opequon District.
Action - Approved
Mr. Miller said that because the sign was so far removed from the subdivision it
advertised, it is considered a business sign and not a real estate sign. Off premise business signs
require a conditional use permit. Mr. Miller said that the sign is currently existing and the
application was submitted as a result of a complaint against the applicant.
Michele Busby, Sales Representative for Ryland Homes, was present as the
representative for this application.
No one else was present to speak either in favor or opposition to the request.
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Wilson,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously
approve Conditional Use Permit #002-93 of Ryland Homes for an Off -Premise Business Sign
with the following condition:
1. The sign shall meet all the requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance and
the Code of Vir ' 'a.

MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Master Development Plan #001-93 of Prince Frederick Office Park for a business office
park. This property is identified by Parcel I_D_ #640000A0000890 and is located south
of Route 50, west of Carper's Valley Golf Course, in the Shawnee Magisterial District.
Action - Approved
Mr. Roger Thomas said that he would abstain from discussion and vote on this
master plan, due to a possible conflict of interest.
Mr. John Hash, with Patton, Harris, Rust & Associates (PHR&A), said that they
have revised their preliminary plan to address the two issues identified at the last Planning
Commission meeting, which were: 1) extending the two cul-de-sacs nearer to the adjoining
property boundary lines to show the possibility of connection with the adjoining properties; and,
2) revisions to address regional stormwater management issues.
applicant. Staff inquired about projections for level of development expected by the
Mr. Douglas Kennedy, Transportation Engineer with PHR&A, said that they are
considering office park and office uses with approximately 700,000 square feet of development
on approximately 91.9 acres. He said that if the employment areas are developed with
warehouse or manufacturing uses, the overall yield of the property could go up.
The Commission felt the applicant's projections had a bearing on the transportation
network through the park. They felt it had a definite bearing on Mr. Childress' letter (VDOT's
letter dated 1/13/93), the traffic light on Route 50, and additional accesses to the site. It was
pointed out that 700,000 square feet of development on 91.9 acres only amounted to 15 or 17
acres of building, which meant that approximately 75 acres were unaccounted for.
Chairman Golladay noted that only one 100,000 square foot office building with
350-400 employees would result in approximately 400 morning trips and 400 evening trips per
day, not including lunch trips. He pointed out that there was only one way for the traffic to go --
to Route 50 and turn left. Mr. Golladay estimated that if you had seven such buildings on the
site, the number of trips increased to 2,800 trips --all at one entrance. He felt it was logical to
assume that the traffic problems would be significant. Chairman Golladay preferred to see
additional access, either through Route 522 or through the airport.
It was the staff's feeling that both additional accesses were needed.
Mr. Hash said that they were providing the right-of-way dedication to the property
j
line. He said it was his understanding that there may be some development on the property to
the west, at which time those people could probably make that connection through, if that was
the County's decision.
Mr. Douglas Kennedy said that there will be turn lanes required at the Route 50
intersections.
Chairman Golladay asked the applicants if they had any problems with Mr.
Childress' letter regarding the traffic light, turn lanes, etc.
Mr. Kennedy said that they would work with VDOT on the traffic light, if it was
warranted. He said that the only condition of Mr. Childress' letter that may cause them a
problem was the requirement for an additional turn lane between Ryco Lane and the Big Lots
Shopping Center down to G. W. Motors.
Chairman Golladay said that a statement was made at the previous Commission
meeting that an agreement would be entered into between the County, the State, and the
developers indicating that if the road needed widened or improved in any way, that someone
other than the developers would pay for it. Mr. Golladay asked if that statement was correct.
Mr. Hash responded that the statement was correct.
Mr. Romine stated that he would like to have the four -lane road in place at the
beginning or at least have the right-of-way. Mr. Romine asked who would pay for the traffic
light. and other commissioners responded that it should be paid for by the developer.
Mrs. Copenhaver inquired if the road within the development would be two or
three-laned.
Mr. Kennedy responded that initially, they would expect to have a one -lane
coming into the site and two lanes going out. He said that if traffic builds up, there may be
double lefts.
Mr. Hash said that they would not have a problem dedicating the right-of-ways
beforehand for the extension of roads.
Mr. Marker felt the main road should have an 80' right-of-way and the four lanes
should be put in immediately. Most of the Commissioners agreed with this.
The staff commented that it may not be necessary to specify 80' for the right-of-
way; if the applicant goes in with a curb and gutter section, they might be able to work within
a smaller right-of-way. The Commissioners agreed not to specify the "80 feet," but to require
the four lanes.
Chairman Golladay called for anyone in the audience wishing to speak concerning
the proposal and the following persons came forward:
Mr. Shirley Carter, adjoining property owner, wanted to know what uses would
be allowed within the park.
Mr. Charles Ryan, with Ryco Management, asked where the proposed construction
entrance would be located. Mr. Ryan wanted to make sure they could still conduct their business
on Ryco Lane.
Mr. Edward Strawsnyder, Frederick County's Engineer, said that he had
discussions with the developer and his comments on stormwater management had been addressed
in the latest revised plan.
Mr. Wilson commented that this site had the potential to add a terrific amount of
traffic to an already congested area. He said that he could not conceive of building a
development of this size without putting a four -lane road into and out of it. Mr. Wilson said that
his biggest concern that needed to be addressed was to have the four lanes in there and to have
the lights in place, once they are called for. Mr. Wilson said that other than that, he would
move that this be approved based on the staff's recommendations of approval, provided that the
applicant address the staff concerns, all review agency comments (including VDOT's 1/13/93
letter), and any concerns of the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
This motion was seconded by Mr. Romine.
Mr. Light commented that there seemed to be a lot of questions and no definite
answers regarding the stop light, turn lanes, widths of right-of-ways, stormwater management,
regional stormwater management, good ingress/egress or a second ingress/egress on this
property. Mr. Light felt it was too early to approve the master plan at this time.
Mr. Light added that during the Development Review and Regulations
Subcommittee meeting, there were discussions about the entrances being four-laned or possibly,
a boulevard center section so that more space was available for traffic to turn. Mr. Light felt
the County should set out to get ahead of the project and have it planned right initially.
Mr. Wilson said that is why he wanted the four-laned road.
Mr. Light questioned if Mr. Wilson's motion included the four -lane road and Mr.
Wilson clarified that his motion did include the four-laned road. It was also noted that all the
comments from VDOT would have to be complied with.
The question was called and the following vote took place:
n
YES (TO APPROVEL Romine, Wilson, DeHaven, Golladay, Marker, Copenhaver, Carper
NO: Light ABSTAIN: Thomas
(Mr. Shenk was absent)
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does
hereby recommend approval of Master Development Plan #001-93 of Prince Frederick Office
Park for a business office park with a four -lane access road and traffic lights when called for by
VDOT and provided that the applicant address all staff concerns, review agency comments, and
any concerns of the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.
OTHER
Discussion with G.W. Clifford & Associates Regarding a Preliminary Master
Development Plan for Franklin Mobile Home Park, located on the south side of Route 7.
Mr. Wyatt said that representatives from G. W. Clifford & Associates have
requested time for an informal discussion concerning their proposal to create a 49 -lot mobile
home park located on the south side of Route 7, adjacent to Shenandoah Hills subdivision. W.
Wyatt said that the site is zoned MH -1 (Mobile Home Community District) and currently
contains 15 occupied sites.
Mr. Wyatt said that he has been contacted by a resident of the adjoining
Shenandoah Hills subdivision and the concern is not necessarily more mobile homes, but the
existing gravel entrance onto Route 7. Because of the speed of traffic coming up Route 7,
people exiting the park end up spinning their wheels to get onto Route 7. This kicks up gravel,
dust, etc. which effects the neighborhood.
Mr. Scott Marsh, from G. W. Clifford & Associates, described the location and
other aspects of the site.
Mr. Charles Maddox, from G. W. Clifford & Associates, said that the issue of
allowability of private streets needs to be decided early in this process by the Planning
Commission so that they can create a bonafide application. Mr. Maddox said that the ordinance
provides for private streets when they are a continuation of existing streets in MH -1 projects.
This project is presently served by a 30' right-of-way connection with Route 7 and additional
right-of-ways cannot be obtained for this project according to the owner. He said that the first
and major question is whether the Planning Commission would allow the extension of private
streets in accord with provisions of the ordinance.
7
Mr. Rodney Franklin, the contract owner/developer of the site, spoke to the
Commission about his lack of success in trying to acquire additional right-of-way from adjoining
property owners.
The Commissioners felt that the traffic situation would be tight on the 30' right-of-
way due to the density of development. They were concerned about right-hand turns from the
site onto Route 7. Some Commissioners felt that there needed to be a pedestrian access, in the
form of a walkway, around the site and some type of pedestrian access out to Route 7 for school
bus access.
No formal action was needed by the Commission at this time.
Discussion with Greenway Engineering regarding a proposed single-family cluster
development on Greenwood Road.
Mr. Wyatt said that Mr. H. Bruce Edens, of Greenway Engineering, has requested
time at the Commission's meeting for an informal discussion regarding a proposed single-family
cluster development on Greenwood Road. Mr. Wyatt said that the road fronting lots 1 through
8 is specified in the Comprehensive Plan as a new minor collector road. With that in mind and
this being residential development, there would be a road efficiency buffer required for this site.
Mr. Wyatt said that this greatly reduces the amount of buildable area on the lots fronting on this
road.
Mr. H. Bruce Edens, of Greenway Engineering & Surveying Company, presented
the proposal to the Commission.
Chairman Golladay asked if the road efficiency buffer was strictly open space.
Mr. Wyatt replied that the road efficiency buffer would require landscaping. Mr. Wyatt added
that if the applicant decided to go with the reduced road efficiency buffer to reduce the linear
footage requirement, a six foot high berm or other opaque object, such as a fence, would be
required.
No action was required by the Planning Commission at this time.
1993 PRIMARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Mr. Wyatt said that the Transportation Commit -tee reviewed the proposed 1993
Primary Road Improvement Plan during their March 1, 1993 meeting. He said that the
Transportation Committee recommended that this plan maintain the same priority as the 1992
Plan. He said that the Transportation Committee also recommended that the 1993 Plan not
10
include any new primary road projects.
Mr. Wyatt said that Route 522 South is currently funded on the Commonwealth
Transportation Board's Six Year Improvement Program. He said that this is the only project on
the 1993 Plan that is funded by the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Mr. Wyatt stated that the recommendation of the Planning Commission will be
forwarded to the Board on March 10. He said that the final adopted plan will be presented to
the Transportation Board on March 23, 1993, during VDOT's Preallocation Hearing.
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 the 1993 Primary Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County.
GREENBAY PACKAGING SITE PLAN
Mr. Wyatt stated that Greenbay Packaging currently has a site under construction
in the Fort Collier Industrial Park across from Kraft General Foods. He said that prior to the
applicant submitting a formal application, the staff received all the review agency approvals on
the project, except for the Sanitation Authority. The Sanitation Authority finally gave their
approval, but the applicant had never formally submitted their site plan to the Planning
Department. Greenbay Packaging was, therefore, never placed on the Bimonthly Report. Mr.
Wyatt asked the Commission to allow the staff to administratively approve the plan.
Upon motion made by Mr. Romine and seconded by Mr. Thomas, the
Commission unanimously voted to allow the staff to proceed with administrative approval of the
plan.

Violette C.U.P

County Fire Marshal: Emergency Vehicle Access is adequate.
No Fire Lanes are required. No special hazards noted.
Additional Comments: To ensure optimum fire -fighting efforts,
access to all structures must be maintained at all times. If
cellulose nitrate film is used in excess of 25 pounds at any
time, a permit is required from the Fire Marshal's office.
Use and storage of cellulose nitrate film shall comply with
NFPA 40 at all times. Approval of this C.U.P. will have no
significant impact on fire and rescue resources.
Planning Department: The proposed use meets the criteria set
forth in the Zoning Ordinance for Cottage Occupations. The
applicant has stated that there will not be, and staff does
not expect that there would be, any unusual level of vehicular
traffic generated by this use. There are no other residences
nearby, so there is no apparent likelihood that this use would
disturb people in the general area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR April 7, 1993 PC MEETING: Approval, with
the following conditions:
1. Adequate fire -fighting access to this structure must be
maintained at all times.
2. If the scope of business expands beyond what has been
represented by the applicants, a new Conditional Use Permit
will be required.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Planning Commission
FROM: Evan A. Wyatt, Planner II
RE: Proposed Amendments to Chapter 144 and Chapter 165
DATE: March 19, 1993
The Frederick County Planning Department requested that the Development Review and
Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) conduct a comprehensive review of the Frederick
County Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of this comprehensive review was to address items
of concern that have been expressed since the Zoning Ordinance was amended in February,
1990. The DRRS discussed these various items throughout 1992, as well as January, 1993.
The Planning Commission discussed the proposed amendments during a worksession on
February 3, 1993. The Planning Commission recommended that the proposed amendments
be scheduled for public hearing following review by the Commonwealth Attorney's Office.
Jay Cook, Assistant Commonwealth Attorney, met with staff on March 17, 1993, to discuss
the proposed amendments. Mr. Cook felt that all proposed amendments in Chapter 144,
Subdivision Ordinance, were fine; however, he expressed concerns with two (2) of the
definitions in Chapter 165, Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Cook believes that the definitions of
"inoperable vehicle" and "mobile home" should parallel language specified in the Code of
Virginia. His main concern is that the new definitions may be interpreted to be more
restrictive than those in the Code of Virginia. Mr. Cook feels that this will complicate
matters if these definitions are challenged in General District Court.
The DRRS has included an amendment to Article X, Business and Industrial District, that
was not a part of the February 3, 1993 discussion. This proposed amendment would permit
industrial launderers to operate in the M-1 Light Industrial District.
Attached are the proposed amendments for Chapters 144 and 165. Each chapter specifies
the article and section number, and provides a brief explanation for each amendment. Staff
asks that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed amendments and
forward this information to the Board of Supervisors for final disposition.

COMMENTS REGARDING
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 144, SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
OF THE FREDERICK COUNTY CODE
ARTICLE H, Definitions
SUBDIVISION, MAJOR RURAL
SUBDIVISION, MINOR RURAL
It was discovered that there was a definition for minor rural subdivision, but not for major rural
subdivision. It was also discovered that the definition for minor rural subdivision was not
current. Therefore, staff has created definitions to clarify this issue.
ARTICLE IV, Subdivision Review Procedures
144-11. Preliminary sketches.
New language has been created to require preliminary sketches for subdivisions containing state
maintained roads or rural preservation lots.
ARTICLE V, Design Standards
144-31B(2). Major rural subdivisions Access
Current language requires all roads within a major rural subdivision to be built to state
standards. The intent is to have all roads serving lots to be built to state standards. Under the
current requirements, a road passing through a parcel that will be subdivided, but does not serve
lots, would have to be built to state standards.
1
ARTICLE VI, Plan Requirements
144-37Z. Final plats.
The proposed language requires the subdivider to indicate the portion of permitted density which
is conveyed from a parent parcel to each new lot on the plat. This will allow staff to track the
permitted density. The permitted density may differ from parcel to parcel based on the history
of subdivision for each parcel.
144-37AA. Final plats
Notarized owners certification as required by section 15.1-477 of the Code of Virginia
144-39A(8). Minor rural subdivisions
This language has been created for the same reason as section 144-37Z. Final plats. The
proposed language would also replaces the current language under section 144-39A(8). This
language addresses one time divisions; however, one time divisions were eliminated by previous
amendments to this Chapter.

FROM: Evan A. Wyatt, Planner II
RE: Prince Frederick Office Park Discussion
DATE: March 30, 1993
The Frederick County Planning Commission reviewed and approved a preliminary Master
Development Plan for the Prince Frederick Office Park on March 3, 1993. The motion for
approval stated that the business park would contain a four -lane access road, traffic lights
(when warranted by VDOT), and that the applicant would address all review agency
comments, and all concerns of staff, the Planning Commission, and the Board of
Supervisors.
The applicant has requested time during the April 7, 1993 Planning Commission meeting
to discuss issues regarding traffic and storm water management. Staff and Bill Bushman,
of VDOT, met with the applicants on March 25, 1993, to review an updated traffic analysis.
This analysis, dated March 8, 1993, is included in your agenda package. The applicant has
also provided the Planning Commission with two summary sheets. This information
summarizes the street classification, trip generation, and storm water management within
the proposed office park.
The project engineer has revised the Prince Frederick Office Park Master Development
Plan since the March 3, 1993 Planning Commission meeting. Revisions include the
following:
1) Extension of the two cul-de-sacs to be built as close to the adjoining properties as
possible.
2) Provisions for an 80 foot right-of-way along the east -west access road within the
boundaries of the proposed office park.
3) Conceptual design to indicate ingress/egress from the proposed office park onto
Route 50 East.

PR.INTCF. FREDERICK OFFICE PARK
STRPFT CLASSIFICATION & TRIP GENERATION SUMMARY
PARK DESCRIPTION - The Prince Frederick Office Park is zoned B-2 and is planned as an
office and research/development park designed in a campus type setting.
TOTAL AN -D USABLE ACREAGE - The total acreage for the park is appromMately 92 aures,
but approximately 32 acres contain steep slopes, flood plain, highway dedication, or
other unusable areas leaving approximately 60 acres for developmerit.
FLOOR AREA RATIO - In a typical office and research/development park-, approximately,
50% of the space is used as office and 50% of the space is needed for R & D type
uses. The Corps of Engineers building is a typical project where the 92,060 square
foot space plan includes 42,000 square fe: t for offices and 50,00 square feet for
R & D. The Corps project is a one and tNO story building and has floor area ratio
of .16. The maximum FAR for this type of project is typically about 0.2.
TOTAL PROJFCTED SPACE - Assuming the buildable area at 60 acres and aft FAR of .2 %%ith
50% office and 50% R & D space, the total proposed office space would be 261,360
square feet and the R & D,spac� would be 261,360 square feat fora grand total for
the building area of��2,720 square feet.
VEHmI.E TRIPS PER DAY - The I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual lists 11.104 trips per day
for 1,000 square feet of offi,�e, or 2,976 tPD, and 6.040 trips pet day for R & D
uses or 1,5$9 TPD. The total trips per day generated from the park `would be 4,565.
STREET CLASSIFICATION - 'There are four planned entrances into the site, -but this modl
assumes a worst case scenario with only the two entrances constructed to Route 50.
Assuming equal uses of the entrances, the°entrance streets would hdndle 2,283 TPD
which can be serviced with a major collector street that handles up to 3,000 TPD with
two lanes and a 60 foot R -O -W. Capacity analysis indicates that a'two lane road is
adequate if additional turn lanes are added at Route 50.
PROPOSED FAR - Based on the above model and the Technical Analysis and VDOT Read
Guidelines, the proposed park could be bui)t to a .26 FAR or 700,00 square feet and
still only require a major collector street.. The developers are prepared to limit the

PRINCE FREDERICK OFFICE PARK
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
WATERSHED DESCRIPTION - The total water shed that contributes to the existing Route 50
pond at the Carpers Valley Golf Course entrance is approximately 1,100 acres. Of
this acreage approximately 460 acres are in the Sulfur Springs Run watershed and 640
acres of contribution flows from north to south under Route 50 just above or at the
pond. Based on the current "C" factors, 38% of the water thru the Route 50 pond
flows from Sulphur Springs Run and 62% flows under Route 50.
CONTRIBUTION FROM OFFICE PARK - Prince Frederick Office Park contains 92 acres or
20 % of the Sulfur Springs Run flow and 7.6 % of the total flow thru the existing Route
50 pond. Per the county ordinance each site or subdivision is required to retain storm
water equal only to the difference between pre and post development.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN - The developers propose to provide storm water
management (SWM) ponds as shown on the revised master plan. The developers will
also dedicate the area along the Sulphur Springs Run as shown on the master plan for
a regional SWM facility to be developed by the county under a future regional SWM
?� plan. The developer further agrees to contribute its pro -rated share of the regional
facility for any sites developed after the approval and/or construction of the regional
facility.

RE: PRINCE FREDERICK OFFICE PARK
TRIP GENERATION ANALYSIS
FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA
PHR&A F-8149-10
Dear Mr. Watkins:
Based on comments from staff, the County's Planing Commission, and VDOT,
we have analyzed the local roadway impacts associated with Phase 1 and Phase 2
of the proposed Prince Frederick Office Park Master Plan on U.S. Route 50
near Winchester, Virginia. We have updated our conclusions to respond to
specific VDOT comments, which should address the traffic concerns discussed by
the Planning Commission on Wednesday, March 3, 1993.
The analysis demonstrates the adequacy of the proposed roadway improvements
to support site development for safe access. Detailed information regarding
implementation conditions and design details can be addressed with construction
plans and/or subdivision plans, when more specific site development plans are
available.
The analysis was prepared to respond to VDOT comments, dated January 13,
1993 as part of the original subnuttal of the subject master plan requesting a trip
generation analysis. The VDOT comments focused on turn lanes at Route 50
and documentation of site characteristics. Based on discussions with VDOT
representatives, the trip generation analysis is focused to the peak hour
characteristics and intersection capacities. Daily volumes have also been
computed for link assessments.
Since the 91.9 acres is master -planned for office/employment uses, a regional
traffic analysis is not included to respond to VDOT and County access issues.
Mr. Robert W. Watkins
March 8, 1993
Page 2
Regional elements of the property and the related travel impacts to the roadway
network can be assessed through on-going VDOT/Frederick County regional
planning, which are incorporated into the Winchester Area Transportation
Study (WATS). Therefore, the study scope is restricted to the proposed public
street locations at Route 50.
As stated to the Planning Commission, specific land -use assumptions for the
property have been calculated by PHR&A, based on the roadway capacity of the
proposed improvements. As tenants begin to occupy the property, the mix and
intensity of the site development may vary; However, the County can utilize
these traffic forecasts as a basis for comparisons should future development be
modified from the assumptions presented herein.
As revised for review by Frederick County, the internal street network is
designed to allow for future construction by others to connect the on-site streets
with other collector roads. The eastern site entrance, opposite Route 781 median
crossover, ends in a cul-de-sac adjacent to the Winchester Regional Airport. To
the west, the on-site roadway system includes a cul-de-sac with R -O -W
reservation should the collector be extended towards U.S. Route 522, by others.
Analysis of this scenario is not included.
W', $I XW&GIM s7
The approved Eastern Frederick County Regional roadway plan does not
envision new Major Collectors or Arterials in the southeast quadrant of the U.S.
Route 50/Route 522 intersection. The proposed development of the Prince
Frederick Office Park envisions a campus style office/business ppark of 91.9 acres
south of Route 50 to be served by two (2) collector roads, two (2) lanes in width.
R -O -W for the collectors are shown on the Master Plan with a 60 foot width.
The site is currently served by two (2) private driveways south of Route 50 and
is divided by the Sulpher Spring Run.
To the east, the site has access to the Route 50 median crossover at Route 781.
The GW Motors car dealership is located southwest of the intersection. Route
50 is a four (4) lane divided facility with shoulders. The site also has access to
Ryco Lane, a private entrance just west of the Route 791/Route 50 intersection.
Ryco Lane serves as the eastern parking lot entrance to the Big Lot retail outlet
and as the access to a car wash, auto service places, and industrial/warehouse
uses behind the Harley-Davidson store. To the west of Route 791, Route 50 is a
four (4) lane undivided road with a continuous eastbound right turn lane and
two (2) continuous left turn lanes starting just east of the intersection and
extending to Route 522.
To test the adequacy of the roadway system, PHR&A developed trip generation
scenarios, and intersection assignments for the site as described below, to support
the Master Plan development.
Mr. Robert W. Watkins
March 8, 1993
Page 3
ANALYSIS APPROACH
The determining factor for the amount of site development which could be
supported was the PM Peak Hour capacity of the northbound left movement at
the Prince Frederick Drive intersection along Route 50. Due to the site's limited
amount of frontage with access to Route 50, the proposed access adjacent to the
GW Motors facility would dictate the potential vehicles. Using standard trip
generation rates, the peak hour vehicle trips were converted to building sizes.
To analyze the turn capacity, PHR&A initially approximated site densities using
general turn lane and link capacities. Subsequent intersection analyses refined
the site trips to achieve acceptable operations using the Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM). The left turn lane capacity of approximately 300 vph per lane
is a VDOT "rule -of -thumb" value for design and planning proposes. The
following methodology was used to develop development scenarios for the
property, as documented below:
1. Evaluate existing traffic operations,
2. Determine Background traffic conditions without the Prince Frederick
Drive Office Park,
3. Determine Site Traffic trip rates,
4. Assign site traffic to the roadway network, and
5. Compute intersection operations and evaluate turn lane and link
operations.
Based on the analysis methodology, three (3) scenarios were investigated:
Scenario A: Single site access for Phase 1 development opposite the Route
781 median cross-over. Separate left turn lanes on the
northbound and westbound approaches with a separate right
turn lane on eastbound Route 50.
Scenario B: Two (2) site access locations for both Phase 1 and Phase 2
development on-site. Additional access from Scenario A with
Ryco Lane reconstructed to VDOT street standards without
additional turn lanes.
Scenario C: In addition to the Scenario B development thresholds, PHR&A
calculated the additional site development potential assuming
Prince Frederick Drive would have three (3) northbound
approach lanes. This scenario will require additional ROW and
allow double left turn lanes from Prince Frederick Office Park
to westbound Route 50.
For capacity purposes, intersection analyses assumed that the intersections on
U.S. Route 50 would be signalized. Due to the through traffic on Route 50,
there is not available 'gap -acceptance' for the side streets to operate at desirable
LOS for existing or future conditions. VDOT typically determines the
implementation of traffic signal installation based on standards in the Manual
On Uniform Traffic Control Devises (MUTCD) based on traffic conditions
beyond the peak periods examined in this report.
Mr. Robert W. Watkins -
March 8, 1993

PHR&A assumed a three (3) year build -out to assess the traffic impacts of
Scenario A. A 10 -year horizon was assumed for Scenarios B and C. The design
years allow for growth on Route 50 not associated with the Prince Frederick
Office Park. Long-term impacts for a 2010 or 2015 horizon are best addressed in
the WATS study, since the property is proposed for development consistent with
the site's zoning designation.
Background Traffic
The background traffic was computed by applying a growth factor to existing
volumes. Current VDOT traffic data for U.S. Route 50 shows approximately
15,000 ADT (Average Daily Traffic) east of Route 522 in 1991. To assess peak
hour conditions adjacent to the property, PM peak hour counts were conducted
on February 3, 1993 at both intersection locations by PHR&A (See Appendix A).
The existing counts were increased at a rate of four (4) percent per year for the
years 1996 and 2003. This percent is the growth that has occurred over the past
five (5) years along Route 50 adjacent to the site, and was calculated from the
annual VDOT 24-hour counts.
Site Traffic
The trips generated by the build -out of the proposed site were estimated using
the trip equations from the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 5th Edition (1991).
For a conservative estimate of site generated trips, the ITE Codes 750 for Office
Park and 710 for General Office were assumed. Other uses, such as Business
Parks, R&D, or flex -industrial parks could have larger building sizes with the
equivalent traffic volumes. The land -use codes applied for the site are based on
an office park or campus uses with an assumed building square footage. Since
the type and intensity of uses are not known, PHR&A applied two (2)
assumptions to test site development potential:
1. Use Tvne - The ITE Manual defines an Office Park as
"Office Parks are generally suburban subdivisions or planned unit developments
containing general office buildings and support services such as banks,
savings and loan institutions, restaurants, and service stations, arranged in
a park- or campus -like atmosphere."
In relation to other employment uses that could be applied to the
property, the office park trip equations translate into a higher trip rate
per 1,000 gross square feet (gsf) for the PM peak hour in comparison to
Industrial Parks, Corporate Headquarters, Research and Development
Centers. The Daily trip rates are consistent with office trip rates in
ITE. Since less intense traffic uses can be mixed into the property, the
Office Park equations from ITE were used. PHR&A did modify the
trip rates for approximately 90,000 square feet of office space, to
account for a potential user under consideration by the owners.
Mr. Robert W. Watkins
March 8, 1993

-- .
2. Use Intensity - The maximum development of any property varies
subject to topography, roadway dedication, parking requirements, and
building uses. Since site development plans are not available for the
property, PHR&A initially assumed a development between 0.15 and
0.35 FAR (Floor -Area -Ratio). For the subject site, the densities could
range between 600,000 gsf and 1,400,000 gsf. Additional review of the
site, accounting for the steep slopes and existing 100 -year floodplain, the
potential site development may only achieve a 0.15 to 0.25 FAR. Initial
development concepts for the site's initial office building show an
effective FAR between 0.15 and 0.19, which is consistent with ITE Trig
Generation Manual ratios of 1,000 gsf/acreage for R&D Centers and
Business Parks.
For this analysis, the effective building square footages were determined based
on the carrying capacities of the roadways for each scenario. Using the Office
and Office Park trip equations, Table 1 shows the maximum square footage
permitted for each scenario, and gives the resulting trips generated by the site
during the AM and PM peak periods for each phase.

Trip Assignment
The distribution of site generated trips was based upon information supplied to
PHR&A by VDOT Transportation Planning Division long-range trip tables for
the vicinity. Based on this information, PHR&A determined that the site trips
will be oriented 80 percent to/from the west of the site and 20 percent to/from
to the east along Route 50. Route 50 existing volume splits during the PM Peak
Hour are oriented 60/40 to the west.
The site's Scenario A generated trips plus background volumes account for the
Total 1996 volumes shown in Figure 1. Effective roadway operations are shown
in Figure 2 as described below. Figures 3 and 5 show the Total 2003 volumes
which include the site's Scenarios B and C volumes, respectively.
LEVEL OF SERVICE
Capacity analysis was performed at the two (2) access points along Route 50 for
the weekday AM and PM peak hours assuming the total volumes for each
Scenario. AM peak hour conditions for the background volumes were factored
from the PM peak hour assignments. The methodology assumed for this
analysis was the Highway Capacity Software, version 1.5 (HCM). Intersection
turn lane storage was computed based on AASHTO and VDOT standards.
The following narrative describes Level of Service and Queue conditions that
would be observed in each scenario assuming the lane configurations shown in
Figures 2, 4, and 6:
Scenario A:
o The Route 50/Prince Frederick Drive intersection will operate
signalized at Level of Service B during the AM and PM peak
hours. The northbound approach will consist of a separate 350'
left turn lane and a shared through/right lane. Also, a 270'
eastbound right turn lane and a 275' westbound left turn lane
will be required. The southbound approach will remain
unchanged from the existing conditions.
Scenario B:
o The Route 5011'rince Frederick Drive intersection will operate
signalized at Level of Service B during the AM and PM peak
hours. The northbound approach will consist of a separate 350'
left turn lane and a shared through/right lane. Also, a 250'
eastbound right turn lane and a 275' westbound left turn lane
will be required. The southbound approach will remain
unchanged from the existing conditions.
Mr. Robert W
March 8, 1993
Page 7
Watkins
o The Route 50/Ryco Lane intersection will require signalization
and will operate at Level of Service B during the AM peak hour
and C during the PM peak hour. The northbound approach will
consist of a single shared left/right lane. Also, left and right
turns into the site will be required to achieve this acceptable
LOS. The Route 50 turn lanes are already constructed.
Scenario C:
o The Route 50/Prince Frederick Drive intersection will operate
signalized at Level of Service B during the AM peak and C
during the PM peak hour. The northbound approach will consist
of separate 370' left turn lane, a shared left/through lane and a
separate right turn lane. Also, a 250' eastbound right turn lane
and a 275' westbound left turn lane will be required. The
southbound a,pproach will again remain unchanged from the
existing conditions and it will operate at LOS E during both
peak periods.
o The Route 50/Ryco Lane intersection will again require
signalization and operate at Level of Service B during the AM
and PM peak hours. The northbound approach will consist of a
single left/right lane. Also, left and right turns into the site will
be required to achieve this acceptable LOS.
Figures 2, 4, and 6 also illustrate the individual approach peak hour Level of
Service at each intersection for each phase and scenario. The HCM Level of
Service worksheets are included in Appendix B.
The link capacities to justify the two (2) lane approaches away from the arterial
intersections were evaluated based on the Daily Traffic Volumes on the site
links. Accounting for the existing uses and the proposed Prince Frederick Office
Park uses as discussed for each scenario, the total roadway daily traffic volumes
range between 3,000 and 5,500 vehicles per day. VDOT typically requires an
ADT of 8,000 vehicles per day to justify additional through lanes; therefore, the
site volumes as shown for the proposed site development do not justify
additional through lanes if site development does not exceed approximately
700,000 gsf (or the traffic equivalent as shown in Table 1). Additional right turn
lanes may be warranted at individual site entrances to the office park, subject to
building configuration.
Mr. Robert W. Watkins
March 8, 1993
Page 8
If the Scenario C development is realistic, the ultimate northbound Prince
Frederick Drive cross-section should be built initially adjacent to Route 50 to
avoid construction disruptions. However, the phasing analyses presented here
detail that the turn lanes can be added later when capacity warrants the
additional lanes, if the design accommodates the improvements with incremental
grading and R -O -W. This incremental approach also would facilitate the
distribution of on-site roadway costs as the project develops.
SUMMARY
This analysis was based on the levels of service of the peak hour intersection
turning movements instead of daily link capacities. Therefore, the site's
land -use square footages were determined by the peak hour capacity of
northbound approach lanes assumed at each intersection.
VDOT recommends Prince Frederick Drive be classified as a Major Collector.
Also, according to the Frederick County Standards, a major collector is a street
within a subdivision which may be required to serve as access to adjoining
property or to connect with streets in an adjoining subdivision. This definition
accurately describes the function of Prince Frederick Drive, therefore, the
proposed ROW of 60 feet is adequate.
If a four (4) lane cross-section is pursued, either through additional site
development or by the construction by others of off-site links to the west or the
south, the 60 foot R -O -W could accommodate a four (4) lane undivided roadway
with an ultimate curb -and -gutter section (52 feet between face -of -curb) with
sidewalks and/or utilities outside of the R -O -W.
Responses to VDOT Comments
Based on the trip generation analysis, the following responses to the VDOT
issues are appropriate (details of the design elements are best addressed at
construction stage):
1. Traffic Signals - If warranted by VDOT, the signals would improve
access to the site, as documented by the intersection LOS.
2. Route 50 Turn Lanes at Prince Frederick Drive - Separate eastbound
right turn lane and westbound left turn lanes are warranted with initial
site development. Based on the queue analysis and roadway design
features, we recommend a 275 foot westbound left and 250 foot
eastbound right turn lane to be constructed next to the existing Route 50
through lanes.
Mr. Robert W. Watkins
March 8, 1993
Page 9
3. Route 50 Eastbound Right Turn Lane - A continuous frontage lane is not
warranted based on the Route 50 operations. A separate turn lane at
the Eastern site entrance is justified and an existing turn lane is
available at the Ryco Lane location for eastbound site trips. The subject
owners do not own the properties between the Harley-Davidson shop
and GW Motors frontage.
4. Curb -and -Gutter Design - Will be considered at design stage adjacent to
Route 50.
5. Guardrail Relocation Responsibility - Subject to construction plan
approval, the applicant will be responsible for modifications.
6. Route 50 Median - The sight distance issue should be addressed with the
construction plans for the westbound left turn lane. If signal control is
approved by VDOT, the intersection safety would be improved.
In conclusion, based on the technical traffic assumptions in this analysis, the
development of high-tech employment uses on the property can be justified with
the proposed Master Plan at an approximate 0.175 Floor -Area -Ratio. The
resultant intersection and link performances demonstrate safe access for the
Prince Frederick Office Park with two (2) public street access connections to
Route 50. Subject to design and construction approvals, the on-site roadway
network is oriented to promote interparcel access and allow for roadway
widening, if justified by other development. The applicant will be responsible
for implementing access requirements to support the traffic impacts associated
with the proposed Prince Frederick Office Park.
If you have any questions regarding the technical analyses, please call our
Fairfax Office (703) 273-8700 or our Project Manager, Mr. John Hash at (703)

MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Planning Commission
FROM: Evan A. Wyatt, Planner II `�j
RE: Meeting Regarding Performance Standards For Truck or Freight
Maintenance Facilities In The M-1 Light Industrial District.
DATE: March 26, 1993
The Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) discussed an application
to allow truck or freight maintenance facilities as a principle use in the M-1 Zoning District
on March 11, 1993. This type of facility is permitted, provided the use is accessory to a
trucking operation. In other words, an operation such as Ryder Trucking may maintain its
fleet, but not other commercial vehicles. The Economic Development Commission (EDC)
credits Frederick County's trucking operations as a real strength in attracting distribution
operations. However, the EDC and several persons involved in industrial operations see the
separation of truck or freight maintenance facilities and distribution operations as a
disadvantage.
The DRRS believes that this type of operation should be permitted in the M-1 Zoning
District with performance standards. The greatest concern of the DRRS is the potential for
this type of operation to evolve into a truck stop. The DRRS asked staff to create
performance standards for this proposal and distribute the language for review. An ad hoc
committee consisting of June Wilmot, George Romine, Douglas Toan, Tom Gilpin, Wayne
Miller and myself worked to create the following language:
ARTICLE X - Business and Industrial Zoning Districts
M-1 Light Industrial District Allowed Uses
Truck or freight maintenance facilities (No SIC Code)
9 North Loudoun Strcct P_0. Box 601
W'inchcster, VA 22601 Winchcstcr, VA 22604

Planning Commission Memo
March 26, 1993
ARTICLE IV - Supplementary Use Regulations
Truck or freight maintenance facilities
Where allowed, truck or freight maintenance facilities shall meet the following
requirements:
A. Truck or freight maintenance facilities shall be permitted in master planned
industrial parks.
Truck or freight maintenance facilities proposed for land zoned M-1 which is not part
of a master planned industrial park shall require approval by the Planning
Commission.
C. Truck or freight maintenance facilities may have diesel fuel service provided that it
is limited to one storage tank of 10,000 gallons or less.
D. All repair and maintenance operations shall occur within a completely enclosed
structure.
E. Outdoor storage of parts associated with repair and maintenance shall not be
permitted.
F. Retail sales shall not be permitted.
G. The Planning Commission may require additional buffers and screening other than
those defined in section 165-37 of this Chapter.
The proposed performance standards were created to address concerns and comments made
by the ad hoc committee. The committee concluded that this use was desirable for the
compatible uses found in a planned industrial park, but should be looked at carefully in
other M-1 areas. The committee felt that restrictive covenants could be utilized in industrial
parks if this use was not desirable. The committee also concluded that the potential for this
use to evolve into a truck stop would be minimal if fuel sales were controlled, and retail
sales were prohibited. All agreed that repair work, maintenance and parts storage should
be indoors. Finally, the committee decided that there should be a provision to require
additional buffers and screening to protect adjoining land use of a lesser intensity.

Planning Commission
March 26, 1993
Staff discussed the proposed amendments on March 25, 1993. The only staff concern with
the proposed language regards item B under the Supplementary Use Regulations. This
language provides the Planning Commission with the option of permitting this use on certain
parcels zoned M-1, but not others with the same zoning classification. Staff questions the
legality of the Planning Commission permitting or denying uses without due process
procedures similar to a Conditional Use Permit. Staff would suggest that the Planning
Commission consider item B with three options:
1) Permit this use in industrial parks only. This can be accomplished because there is
a clear definition for industrial parks.
2) Permit this use in the entire M1 Light Industrial District.
3) Do not permit this use in the M1 Light Industrial District
Please review the proposed language and contact Wayne Miller or myself to discuss any
comments or concerns you may have. Staff will conduct an informal discussion regarding
this item during the April 7, 1993 Planning Commission meeting.
