N/A Please describe the need for this project. Continuing expansion and improvements to the airport increased the demand to provide larger and more reliable maintenance equipment. The airport owns various pieces of equipment and vehicles to handle aircraft towing, deicing equipment, cutting grass, snow removal, airfield and building maintenance. Room to store and maintain vehicles and equipment is inadequate resulting in the airport having to use two aircraft t -hangars that could be generating over $4,300 annually in revenue. In an effort to streamline operations and reduce cost, two staff positions were created for maintenance technicians that perform maintenance on all airport owned buildings and equipment. One t -hangar is used for a shop and does not provide adequate electrical service, heat, water or sewer utilities. The wooden structure previously used as a maintenance building is old, undersized, unstable and was not constructed for the purpose of maintaining the types of equipment used by the airport nor does it have any electric, water or sewer. The other t -hangar contains no electric, water or sewer. ■ Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project. N/A 2000-2001 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests Page 4 -32- Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan: Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan? Is the project consistent with established policies? This project is within the Airport's 20 Year Master Development Plan. Public Health, Safety, or Welfare: Does the project improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare? Does it eliminate a clear health or safety risk? This facility will provide a safe, appropriate and efficient working environment for airport maintenance technicians to service and maintain airport equipment. 2000-2001 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests -33- Page 5 Legal Requirement: Is the project required in order to meet a State or Federal mandate or some other legal requirement?

This facility, presently serving as both youth baseball and adult softball fields, would be used by the "Little League" programs within the Sherando Park service area. In addition to its use as a recreational facility, the athletic complex will also be used by the Frederick County school system. Please describe the need for this project. In its present design, the four field complex does not provide adequate diamond configuration or grading scheme to facilitate youth baseball programs. The renovation of this complex would correct these problems and bring those fields up to the recommended standards. Please describe and justify the proposed location of the project. The project location would be at Sherando Park which is currently owned by Frederick County. Presently, Sherando Park has six baseball/softball fields. This project would involve the renovation of the existing ball field complex. With the site of the new county high school being adjacent to Sherando Park, there will be a joint use of these facilities and with the renovation of the fields, athletic programs can be more effectively facilitated. 2000-2001 Capital Improvements Plan Project Requests -42- Page 4 Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan: Does the project conform to, or contribute to the attainment of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan?

Gyurisin to Evan Wyatt, dated October 30, 1999, a location map and plat map depicting a 50.786 -acre tract owned by Arthur H. Fulton, Inc., a letter from the Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) to Steve Gyurisin, dated September 21, 1999, and information from the October 19, 1999 Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Location and Design Public Hearing for a segment of Fairfax Pike (Route 277) at the intersection with White Oak Road (Route 636). On behalf of Investment Land Trust, W. Gyurisin has requested that consideration be given to allow for the expansion of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) to incorporate an eight acre portion of the 50.786 -acre tract. Currently, the county's SWSA boundary includes properties of the north side of Fairfax Pike and on the west side of White Oak Road; therefore, this boundary is located directly across White Oak Road from the 50.786 -acre tract. The 50.786 -acre tract is within an area that was identified for a potential land use study during the 1998 Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors Retreat. The area that was identified is bound by Fairfax Pike to the south, Front Royal Pike (Route 522 South) to the north and east, and White Oak Road to the west. The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors considered this area as a lower priority that the recently adopted Southern Frederick Land Use Plan area, and the ongoing Northeast Land Use Study. The FCSA has identified the infrastructure within proximity of the 50.786 -acre tract and advised Mr. Gyurisin that there is limited capacity in the three-inch sewer force main which would most likely be required to be upgraded if new development occurred in this area. Furthermore, the FCSA has stated that their ability to provide service to this property is contingent upon the Board of Supervisors inclusion of this tract into the SWSA. The VDOT Location and Design Public Hearing identifies improvements that will occur at the intersection of Fairfax Pike and White Oak Road and projects average daily traffic counts to increase from 9,400 to 16,600 at this location by the year 2020. Staff has invited Mr. Gyurisin to address the CPPS during the November meeting. The CPPS will ultimately be asked to forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. This recommendation could be made during the November meeting or at a subsequent meeting should the CPPS desire that staff obtain additional information or conduct further research regarding this request. -55- -56- To: Aft.

Design Needs This project will improve the site distance on the north side of Route 277 and establish a right turn lane on the northeast side of the intersection of Route 277 and Route 636 in Fre- derick County. Project Description This project will reduce the slope of the bank lo- cated on the north side of Route 277 so that the sight distance will be improved. The project also requires the relocation of some existing util- ity poles and other equipment. A right turn lane on the north side of Route 277 is to be con- structed onto Route 626. Right of day At the present time one family will be displaced as a result of this project. No businesses or non- profit organizations will be displaced as a result of this project. This alignment has been established in accor- dance with current design standards and de- signed to minimize impacts on existing proper- ties. Development of the final alignment will take into consideration the comments from this public meeting and the written comments re- ceived. As we further finalize the project development, additional easements for utility relocations may be required beyond the proposed or existing right of way shown on the public hearing plans. Property owners will be informed of the exact location of the easements during the right of way acquisition process, prior to construction. 6'10— Variable 30 Existing _6 1 (1.8m) 1 (3.0m) AM Route 277 Projec# Cost The total estimated cost for this project is ap- pro dmately $85,830.
