Tierney, Deputy Planning Director; and Evan A. Wyatt, Planner II CALL TO ORDER Chairman Golladay called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. BIMONTHLY REPORT Chairman Golladay accepted the Bimonthly Report for the Commission's information. COMMITTEE REPORTS Comprehensive Plan - 4113/92 Mtg. Mrs. Copenhaver reported that the Comprehensive Pian Subcommittee considered two requests for land to be included in the urban development area. The first request was from residents of the area located north of 644 and west of 522. The area consists of approximately 700 acres and contains about 200 homes. These people have failing septic systems and wells and have been working with the State Water Control Board to get water and sewer in their area. Mrs. Copenhaver said that the Health Department will be conducting a survey of the area. She said that the Subcommittee is trying to determine if the area can be designated as a service area, but not place it in the urban development area. The second request was from Glaize, Vickers, and Bowman to extend the urban development area to include. approximately 204 acres north of the realigned Route 642 and bounded by Route 522 on the east and old Route 642 on the west and north sides. Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee - 4/14/92 Mtg. Mr. Thomas reported that the Subcommittee reviewed two requests to modify the zoning ordinance. The first request was from the Donald B. Rice Tire Retreading Operation to allow tire retreading in the M1 (Light Industrial) Zone. Mr. Thomas said that the consensus of the Subcommittee was to allow the use with restrictions, however, they were very specific about this particular type of use and its location in the MI Zone. The second request was to allow human service centers in the M1 (Light Industrial) Zone and the Subcommittee recommended approval on this request also. Mr. Thomas said that the Subcommittee also discussed three new work items: the Residential Planned Community Zoning District (R4); buffering along interstate highways; and encouraging the development of affordable housing. Sanitation Authority - 4/13/92 Mtp Mrs. Copenhaver reported that Chuck Ferris will be replacing Donald Hodgson on the Sanitation Authority board. Mrs. Copenhaver reported that the Authority has authorized design and bid funds to construct a 50,000 gallon storage tank on the Authority's Route 642 property that originally was purchased for their offices. This tank will provide pressure to feed, through looping lines, as far as Stonewall and possibly Clearbrook. Mrs. Copenhaver said that in the near future, there will be a 50,500 gallon tank at the quarry, a 50,000 gallon tank at the office site, another 50,000 gallon tank is proposed for the intersection of Route 7 and 1-81, and including the tank just finished at Stonewall, plus the existing small tank at Greenwood will give the county a good reservoir of water, plus good water pressure. Transportation Committee - 4/06/92 Mr. Thomas reported that the Transportation Committee recommended approval of the Six -Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan and discussed a request from the School Board for a stop signal to be placed on Route 277 at the intersection of the Sherando High School and Warrior Drive. SIX-YEAR SECONDARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN Action - Recommended Approval Mr. Evan Wyatt presented the proposed 1992-1993 Six -Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County. Mr. Wyatt said that the Transportation Committee recommended that the projects included in this plan maintain the same priority as the plan that was approved by the Frederick County Board of Supervisors on October 23, 1991. Mr. Wyatt said that one request was received to revise the plan by Mr. Jim Petry. The request involves Item #17, the hard -surfacing of Route 629, from Route 608 to Route 622, which is currently unscheduled. There is a portion of Route 629 beyond (east) Route 622 that is gravel -surfaced, up to a point where there is a sharp curve, and the remaining portion of the road from the curve to Middle Road is paved. Mr. Petry felt it would be wise to include the unpaved portion of Route 629 so the entire road would be completed at the same time. Mr. Wyatt said that since the project was unscheduled, it would not jeopardize any project that already had funding. Mr. Wyatt said that the Transportation Committee decided to wait until fall before revising the plan to include this section. Mr. Marker asked about the Opequon Bridge construction over Opequon Creek on Cedar Creek Grade (Route 622)_ Mr. Marker said that the state has repeatedly said that funds are available and construction would be completed, but nothing has been accomplished. It was noted that this item was removed from the 1991-1992 Plan as a result of the archeological survey. Upon motion made by Mr. Marker and seconded by Mr. Romine, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend approval of the 1992-1993 Six -Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County with the following revisions: 1) That the hard -surfacing of Route 629 (#17 under New Hard Surface Road Improvements) be extended to include the gravel portion of Route 629 that is located between Cedar Creek Grade (Route 622) and Middle Road (Route 628). 2) The addition of improvements to the bridge over Opequon Creek on Cedar Creek Grade (Route 622 under Incidental Construction) 4 DISCUSSION REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF SEWER AND WATER SERVICES TO THE ROUND HILL AREA No Action Mr. Tierney said that a request was submitted to the Comprehensive Plan Subcommittee for extension of the urban development area to include the Round Hill area and the recommendation from the Subcommittee was for denial. Mr. Tierney said that a study is currently underway, funded in part by grant money, which is focusing on the Round Hill Community Center, along with Clearbrook and Brucetown, to determine a cost effective method for supplying wastewater treatment. He said that the study will run through the summer and is scheduled to conclude in October. As a result of that study, the Subcommittee hopes to have a recommendation for some method of handling wastewater in those areas. Mr. Tierney felt that this study played a part in the Subcommittee's recommendation not to extend the urban development area at this time. Mr. Ronald Rhodes, Mr. Forrest Brown, and Mr. Conners, partners of Signal Station Associates, were in support of supplying sewer and water services to the Round Hill Community and requested time before the Commission to express their concerns. Mr. Rhodes said that because failing septic tanks are being pumped on an accelerated basis and because of the potential for contamination of water supply wells, individual property owners and the business community are extremely concerned. Mr. Brown said that on an informal basis, they have collected over 285 signatures from residents of the community who support these services. Regarding the staff's concern on the perceived risk of runaway development in the area that would be precipitated by providing sewer and water service to the community, Mr. Rhodes felt the Comprehensive Plan dictated the permitted areas of development and existing regulations and controls were established to protect the surrounding areas. Mr. Rhodes said that either a self-contained community system or an extension of the main line from the hospital area would serve the community's needs equally well. Mr. Forrest Brown said that as a business owner (Home Theater Video at Signal Station), responses from community residents, and from residents as far as Capon Bridge, have been very positive toward commercial development in their community. Mr. Brown said that most of the drainfields in this area are failing and he felt a study needed to be done by the County health services. Mr. Brown said that the community was willing to pay for the system -- their questions now were how can they get the services, what will the services cost, and when can it be installed. Mr. Glenwood Nicholson, a store owner since 1966, was also in favor of sewer and water services being provided for the Round Hill Community. Mr. Nicholson said that he has been requesting water and sewer services to serve the community since 1972. Mrs. Sherwood said that the County has designated rural community centers 5 throughout the county and each center is unique according to its size and specific needs. She said that these centers serve the rural areas of our county with commercial services, fire companies, churches, etc. Mrs. Sherwood said that the issue of concern is opening the land in between to development and the impact on the county in dollars. The question was how to serve the rural development areas with water and sewer without making the rural areas highly populated or high-density development areas. Mrs. Sherwood felt a solution was possible and the county was in the process of studying the options. Mr. Watkins suggested that the Round Hill community appoint a representative to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) studying the alternative wastewater treatment facilities in the county. He also suggested that a special meeting could be arranged with members of the TAC and residents of the Round Hill community to discuss the options available. Mr. Schroeder, Winchester City Planning Commission Liaison, said that the City is currently studying the corridor overlay along Amherst Street in hopes of not duplicating the state of appearance of Routes 50, 7, 11 South, and 11 North. Mr. Schroeder said that the City is trying to preserve the appearance of that area so that as you approach Winchester, you have an architecturally pleasing area to view. Mr. Schroeder expressed the need for the City and County to work together on how this area is developed. No formal action was taken by the Commission at this time. DISCUSSION ON THE WINCHESTER AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY WATS Mr. Watkins said that the Winchester Area Transportation Study (WATS) is an overall study of Winchester and the urban development area of Frederick County to examine the overall traffic needs in growing areas, particularly in relation to the major roads. Mr. Watkins reviewed each of the three different parts of the WATS study with the Commission: 1) Short Range Plan - The study has determined which portions of major roads are currently deficient in terms of geometry, safety, and traffic. Based on this determination, various short term solutions have been proposed. These improvements include only projects that will either cost $200,000 or less or projects that are currently programmed by VDOT in their Six -Year Improvement Programs. The improvements included: a) the currently programmed improvements to Cedar Creek Grade, Route 522 South, Greenwood Road and Route 647; b) new traffic signals on Pleasant Valley Avenue and on Cedar Creek Grade at Route 37; c) a variety of other improvements including bridge and rail crossing improvements, geometric improvements, turn lanes, sign and signal improvements, parking restrictions, etc. 2) Corridor Studies - The study has examined several interstate interchange areas in order to address current deficiencies in those areas. Those areas are: a) Interstate 81/ Route 37/ Route 11/ Route 642 b) Interstate 81/ Route 17-50/ Route 522 c) Interstate 81/ Route II/ Route 37 North d) Interstate 81/ Route 277/ Route 11 / Route 647. 3) Long Range Planning - Various roads were found to be currently deficient or projected to be deficient by 2015, including: Route 277, Route 647, Route 642, Route 11 South, Papermill Road, Cedar Creek Grade, Senseny Road, Greenwood Road, and Route 7. Interstate 81, between Route 50 and Route 11, was also projected to be deficient. It was noted that deficiencies on the Interstate would be due to locally generated traffic. The Commissioners reviewed slides of the study areas and discussed the recommendations presented by the WATS study. The study was scheduled to be forwarded to the Transportation Committee's May 4 meeting. ADJOURNMENT No further business remained to be discussed and the meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. by unanimous vote. Respectfully submitted, Robert W. Watkins, Secretary James W. Golladay, Jr., Chairman COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 703/665-5651 FAX 703/678-0682 MEMORANDUM TO: Frederick County Planning Commission FROM: Evan A. Wyatt, Planner II k RE: Winchester Regional Airport Site Plan DATE: May 7, 1992 Representatives from the Winchester Regional Airport Authority and Delta Associates Inc., will attend the regular meeting of the Frederick County Planning Commission on May 20, 1992 to formally present their site plan. The purpose of this site plan is to create an ultimate safety area to support the new runway extension at the Winchester Regional Airport. This project will entail the clearing of approximately sixteen (16) acres of airport property, the creation of a stormwater detention basin to be shared with Westview Business Center, some relocation of water, sewer, electric, and gas lines, and the relocation of a portion of Route 728 (Victory Lane). The improvements to the airport property have been approved by the Virginia Department of Transportation and will require review and approval from the County Engineer, the Sanitation Authority, the .Fire Marshal, and the Planning Department. The Airport Authority has asked that this site plan be presented to the Planning Commission on Mav 20, 1992, and the Board of Supervisors on May 27, 1992. This is necessary to meet the time frame allotted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA is responsible for funding 90% of this project. The State and Authority will each provide 5% of the total cost. Staff recommends approval of this site plan once all review agency comments are approved. THE COURTHOUSE COMMONS 9 N. Loudoun Street - P.O. Box 601 - Winchester, Virginia - 22601 rA delta associates .e. inc. consulting engineers - planners 7333 whitepine road richmond, virginia 23237 May 4, 1992 Mr. Evan Wyatt Frederick County Planning Dept. 9 Court Square Winchester, VA 22601 RE: Relocate S.R. 728 Winchester Regional Airport Winchester, Virginia AIP Project No. 3-51-0059-08 Delta Project No. VA 9211 Dear Mr. Wyatt: phone (804) 275-8301 fax (804) 275-8371 Enclosed please find twenty-five (25) sets of plans showing the referenced road relocation. The Winchester Regional Airport Authority is requesting approval to relocate S.R. 728 outside of the proposed runway safety area. Please include this request on the meeting agendas for the Frederick County Planning Commission (May 20, 1992) and the Frederick County Board of Supervisors (May 27, 1992). The current runway safety area for Runway 32 at Winchester Regional Area measures 150' x 300'. In order to bring the Runway 32 safety area in to conformance with their requirements, FAA has approved funding for the design of a safety area measuring 500' x 1000'. The new safety area is slated for construction beginning in August of 1992. The proposed relocation of S.R. 728 moves the road out of the new 500"x 1000'_ safety area. FAA does not allow active roadways in runway safety areas. The proposed relocated S. R. 728 has been designed in accordance with Virginia Department of Transportation TC -5, Urban Road Conditions. VDOT has approved the proposed alignment of S. R. 7228, as shown on these plans. They also have approved road width, right of way width, and longitudinal and transverse grades. Delta Associates will submit, for the Airport Authority, a final set of review road plans to all appropriate agencies, including VDOT, Frederick County Planning, The Frederick County Engineer, and the Airport Authority. Several utilities are impacted by the road relocation, including public water and sewer, electrical, phone, and gas service. Delta Associates is coordinating with each of these agencies to insure that their respective utilities are treated in accordance with the appropriate specifications. Delta Associates will forward, for the Airport Authority, to the appropriate agencies, a set of review plans showing all utility work. These agencies include Frederick County Sanitation Authority, Mr. Evan Wyatt May 4, 1992 Page Two The Frederick County Fire Marshall, Potomac Edison, C & P Telephone, Shenandoah Gas, the Airport Authority, and the impacted property owners (Glaize and North Frederick Realty). We plan to represent the Airport Authority at the Frederick County Planning Commission meeting at 7 PM on May 20, 1992 and at the Frederick County Board of Supervisors meeting at 7:15 PM on May 27, 1992. Because of the project schedule, it is in the best interest of this project to proceed with the approval requests as soon as possible. If you should have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Sincerely, Kenneth W. Brammer, P.E.

Fire Marshal: Posted fire lanes required at all fire hydrants per Frederick County Chpt. 10. The location of the hydrant on site makes access to it very difficult. It should be relocated onto the traffic island to the southwest. Access for emergency vehicles during construction must be maintained at all times. No burning of construction debris is permitted on site.

Sanitation Authority: First review - 14 items, correct and resubmit. Count Engineer: See attachment dated April 27, 1992. Parks & Recreation: As per the revision on sheet 2, dated March 19, 1992, it appears that this plan meets the open space and recreational area requirements. Frederick Co. Public Schools: See attached letter from Thomas Sullivan, dated March 23, 1992. Planning & ZonincL The proposed townhouses are a permitted use in the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District. The area of this site is 2.49 acres. The proposed 18 townhouse units creates a density of 7.2 units per acre. This meets the maximum gross density of 8 units per acre for this type of housing. Staff has two concerns regarding the Master Development Plan. The first concern regards buffer and screening requirements for this project. The applicant is required to provide an "A" category buffer along the B-1 (Neighborhood Business) properties. This type of buffer requires no landscaping if structures are located at least fifty foot from the adjoining property line. The applicant meets this requirement and plans to leave the existing trees and vegetation behind units 1-9. The applicant however, has not provided an adequate buffer along the properties owned by the Williams and the Tigneys. The residential separation buffer for structures that are 100 feet from the property line requires full screening. This type of screening requires a six foot high opaque fence, wall, mound, or berm, as well as a ten foot landscaped easement that contains three trees (2/3 evergreen 1/3 deciduous) per ten linear feet. The second concern regards the location of the parking lot by unit #18. A 25 foot strap of property has been dedicated to Frederick County for future improvements to Route 641. When this is complete, the parking lot will border on Route 641. Section 3-3-2.5 of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance requires that all parking lots be located no closer than five feet from any property line. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS_FOR _5Z20/92 PC MTG.: Approval, provided 3 that an adequate full screen buffer is provided along the RP property lines, the parking lot is setback at least f ive (5) feet from the twenty-five foot dedication for Route 641, and all review agency comments are adequately addressed.

Overall, the Committee recommended an order of priority for the interchanges listed under short term recommendations. The Committee felt that once funding was available, the first interchange to be improved should be the Route 11N/Route 37/Interstate 81, followed by the interchange at Route 277, then that at Route 50. The Committee felt that each of the interchanges should be reworked, and several schemes presented to the public prior to construction. Several problems were noted at the interchange at Route 277. The Committee did not like the proposal of Route 647 as one way northbound, nor adding the bridge crossing. The Committee suggested creating a right turn lane on Route 647 and adding a right turn signal at this location to keep traffic flowing. They did, however, agree that Route 277 should be widened. The Committee felt that the interchange at Route 50 should be reevaluated, but felt the short term proposal may be the best solution. Although the Committee felt the Route 11N/Route 37/Interstate 81 should have top priority, no specific revisions to this interchange were proposed. FS/sk THE COURTHOUSE COMMONS 9 N.

The potential uses identified, even though they may not ultimately materialize in the exact form through which they were envisioned, represent full development of the 150 acre campus. The Medical Center is in the process of identifying the infrastructure required to support that level of development. The traffic generated from these uses is anticipated to be substantial. The two (2) Amherst Street entrances have been recognized as incapable of handling all of the future development. Consequently, the concept of an interchange on Rte, 37 midway between Rtes. 50 and 522 has been identified as a solution for the traffic problem associated with more fully developing the campus. A traffic study has been completed by The Cox Company and accepted by the Virginia Department of Transportation as the basis for the interchange. The Medical Center has received preliminary approval from the appropriate State and Federal agencies regarding the interchange. The Medical Center Board has agreed to upfront up to $3,500,000 to support the construction of the interchange. The County and City Government's endorsement of the Rte. 37 interchange proposal is necessary for the Highway Commission to give final approval for the interchange. For this reason, the Winchester Medical Center respectfully requests endorsement through a resolution by the County Board of Supervisors for the Construction of an interchange on Rte. 37 midway between Rtes. 50 and 522.
