SITE PLAN 011-93
FCSA - 642 ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK
LOCATION: East and adjacent to State Route 642, approximately 1/2
mile south of Kernstown/I-81 Exit
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Shawnee
PROPERTY ID NUMBER 75-1-A
PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE: Zoned B-2 (Business, General) and
RA (Rural Area), land use - vacant
ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & PRESENT USE• Zoned B-2 (Business,
General) and RA (Rural Areas), land use - vacant
PROPOSED USE: Elevated water storage tank
REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Vingi_nia_ Department of Transportation• See attached letter
from Robert Childress, dated April 6, 1993.
Inspections Department: Tank shall comply with the Virginia
Uniform Statewide Building Code and Section 311. Use Group U
(Utility and Miscellaneous) of the BOCA National Building
Code/1990.
Fire Marshal: Driveway in area of tank must be 20' in width
to facilitate ladder truck. Engineer/Director Wellington
Jones informed me on 3/22/93 that area around tank base will
be parking lot. I informed him that we'll need compaction to
support 70,000 lb. apparatus. Access for emergency vehicles
must be maintained at all times during construction.
Sanitation Authority: Approved
Regional Airport: See attached comments from Kenneth Wiegand,
dated February 25, 1993.
County Engineer: The E & S plan and stormwater management
considerations are approved as submitted. We recommend that
the emergency overflow pipe, 12" RCP, be relocated slightly to
divert flow toward the natural drainage swale rather than
toward the existing driveway.
Planning Department: The 1/2 to one (1) million gallon
elevated water storage tank is intended to maintain system
pressure within the northern loop service area. This facility
will utilize the Stephens City limestone quarries as its
source. The Planning Commission previously determined that
the location of this facility was preferable.
The proposed elevated water storage tank is a permitted use on
property zoned B-2 and RA. The height of this structure will
be 181 feet. This type of structure is exempt from the
maximum height requirements specified in the zoning ordinance.
Staff has no specific concerns with the proposed site plan.
It should be noted that the future development of office and
support facilities may require buffers and screening along the
Stossel property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APRIL 21, 1993 PC MEETING: Approval,
provided that all review agency comments are adequately addressed.

This is to follow-up on our phone conversation of April 5, 1993 concerning the
Frederick County Sanitation Authority's property on the east side of Route 642 at
approximately 0.40 mile south of Route 37. As I said the existing entrance into the
property will be adequate to serve their proposed water storage facility. If or when
the property is developed further, the entrance may have to be upgraded to
commercial standards.
Should you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance in this matter,
please let me know.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Planning Commission
FROM: Evan A. Wyatt, Planner II \
RE: Corridor H Discussion
DATE: April 8, 1993
The Frederick County Transportation Committee discussed the proposed Corridor H project
during their meetings in March and April. These discussions were intended to provide the
committee with all available information from the Corridor Selection Supplemental Draft
Environmental Impact Statement, and to convey all concerns to the Virginia Department
of Transportation (VDOT). The concerns of the Transportation Committee regard traffic
impacts, land use impacts, cost, and the funding source. The committee believes that these
concerns need to be addressed prior to a final corridor selection by VDOT.
The West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) has stated that the Route 55
corridor is the most desirable connection for West Virginia. This route is currently being
studied by VDOT to determine potential impacts to commercial and residential land use,
historical sites, and environmentally sensitive areas. VDOT is also studying a possible
connection with the I-66 interchange. Staff will attend a meeting on April 14, 1993 in
Richmond regarding Corridor H. The purpose of this meeting is to address concerns
regarding impacts and cost. VDOT will make a final determination regarding Corridor H
on May 20, 1993.
Included in your agenda is a summary regarding Corridor H, and graphic information. Staff
will report on additional information received during the meeting in Richmond. Staff will
ask that the Planning Commission provide a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors will create a resolution regarding Frederick County's position on
Corridor H.

CORRIDOR H PROJECT SUMMARY
Corridor H is one of the economic growth highways designated by Congress to serve the
Appalachian Region. This corridor is one of many that has been proposed to serve an area
from northern Mississippi to southern New York. Each corridor has been assigned an
alphabetic distinction. For the purposes of this discussion, we will focus on Corridor H.
Corridor H is defined as a limited access highway. This road segment is proposed to
provide an east to west connection that will begin just west of Elkins, West Virginia, and will
tie into Interstate 81. The two road segments in Frederick County that are being considered
as part of Corridor H are Route 50 West and Route 55.
Route 50 West is a four (4) lane primary arterial highway that decreases to a two (2) lane
arterial approximately one (1) mile before the West Virginia line. Corridor H is proposed
to be a four (4) lane limited access highway. If the Route 50 West corridor is selected, it
would require VDOT to construct additional road right-of-way. Traffic utilizing this route
would have to access Route 37 near the Winchester Medical Center, and then proceed north
to the I -81/11N/37/661 interchange area, or south to the I -81/11S/37/642 interchange area
to access Interstate 81. This would increase vehicular and commercial truck traffic around
the City of Winchester, and around interchange areas that serve commercial, industrial and
residential uses.
Route 55 is a two (2) lane minor arterial highway. This road segment traverses Frederick
County from the George Washington National Forest to Cedar Creek. If this road segment
is selected, it would require VDOT construct an additional two (2) lane highway throughout
this entire segment. The proposed connection with Interstate 81 would be approximately
two (2) miles south of the I -66/I-81 interchange area. VDOT is studying a possible
connection with the 1-66 interchange area. If this is determined to be desirable by VDOT,
the 1-66 interchange area will probably be relocated. The City of Winchester's water main
is located approximately 1/2 mile east of the 1-66/I-81 interchange area. Water and sewer
could have a significant impact on development around this interchange area. Development
in this area could have an impact on the Middletown area.
Corridor H is desirable from a transit standpoint. This corridor would provide a direct east
to west corridor that is achieved today by accessing I-70, approximately 40 miles north of
Winchester, or I-64, approximately 100 miles south of Winchester. Virginia's Inland Port
would benefit from this corridor. This corridor could have an impact on the
Winchester/Frederick County area as a distribution area.
Questions regarding impacts to the current State Highway Plan, impacts to the Staunton
District Highway Fiscal Plan, and traffic, land use, and environmental impacts are being
assessed by VDOT. It is important to understand these issues, as well as impacts to transit,
labor supply, commerce, business attraction, and tourism for the Winchester/Frederick
County area prior to providing a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.

Draft Planning Commission Bylaws
April 2, 1993
COUNTY of FREDERICK
Department of Planning and Development
703 / 665-5651
Fax 703 / 678-0682
The Code of Virginia states that the Planning Commission shall:
"...adopt rules for the transaction of business..."
"...make rules for the administration of its affairs..."
"...prescribe rules pertaining to its investigations and hearings..."
Therefore, it is the opinion of the staff that the Planning Commission has the authority to
adopt bylaws.
The staff has taken the liberty to draft some possible bylaws. These are not intended to
make significant changes in procedures, but are instead intended to clarify and document
existing procedures. Please find attached draft bylaws for discussion.
