Item # 1
North Stephenson Rezoning
The Historic Resources Advisory Board has been requested to review and provide comment on the
North Stephenson rezoning proposal, which has been submitted by Greenway Engineering. The
proposal seeks to rezone a 79.13 -acre parcel from RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District to the M1
(Industrial Transition) Zoning District. The property is located on Route 11 North/Martinsburg Pike,
east of the intersection with Interstate 81
The impact statement for the proposed rezoning states that the property known as the Seven Oaks
house (ID434-1067), which was listed as "potentially significant" in the Rural Landmarks Survey,
has been demolished. The impact statement also states that the property was inventoried and
cataloged both externally and internally by an architectural historian prior to the demolition.
The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley published by the National Park Service
includes the North Stephenson property within the Second Battle of Winchester battlefield study area
and also the Third Battle of Winchester study area. Both studies indicate that the majority of the
properties are in an area that has lost its integrity as a battlefield resource; however, the southern
portion of the property appears to have retained integrity. The properly is not located either within or
immediately adjacent to core battlefield area.
The applicant has proffered to prohibit the placement of signs to mitigate viewshed impacts from the
3rd Winchester Core Battlefield Area.
Please find attached for your information: a map of the site; the impact analysis; and, the proffer
statement provided by the applicant.. Representatives of the applicant will be available at the HRAB
meeting to provide additional information on the proposed rezoning. Staff will be seeking comments
from the HRAB on the historical elements possibly impacted by proposed development. The
comments will be included in the rezoning application package for the North Stephenson rezoning
proposal when it is submitted.
Information from the Rural Landmark Survey, the National Parks Survey and the Third Winchester
(Opequon) Battlefield Preservation Plan has been provided by staff.

INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared for the purpose of assessing the impact on Fredrick County
by the proffered rezoning of ten contiguous parcels comprising a 79.13 -acre tract, owned
by North Stephenson, Inc. The subject properties front on the east side of Martinsburg
Pike (U.S. Route 11 North), approximately 200 feet north of the Interstate 81 Exit 317
northbound off -ramp, and immediately east of Redbud Road (Route 661). The current
zoning of the parcels comprising the 79.13 -acre tract is RA, Rural Areas District and RP,
Residential Performance District. North Stephenson Inc. proposes to rezone these parcels
to establish 79.13 -acres of M1, Light Industrial District. See attached North Stephenson,
Inc. Location and Zoning Map Exhibit.

79.13 -acre tract
The parcels comprising the subject site are located within the study area boundary of the
Northeast Land Use Plan. The policies guiding future land use development within the
Northeast Land Use Plan are identified in Chapter 6 (Land Use) of the Comprehensive
Policy Plan on pages 6-34 through 6-38.5. The recommendations of the Northeast Land
Use Plan suggest that commercial and industrial land use should occur around the
2
Greenway Engineering October 13, 2004 North Stephenson, Inc. Rezoning
Interstate 81 Exit 317 interchange area, with an emphasis on industrial land use adjacent
to the railroads within the study area. The subject site has approximately 2,600 linear
feet (r/2 mile) of frontage along the CSX railroad and can accommodate rail spur and rail
siding locations. The 79.13 -acre site is located within the Urban Development Area and
the Sewer and Water Service Area; therefore, expansion beyond the existing property
boundaries is not required by this application.
A. SUITABILITY OF THE SITE
Access
The subject site, tax parcels 43-((A))-150, 43-((A))-151, 43 -((A)) -151A, 43-((A))-152,
43C-((3))-2, 43C-((3))-3, 43C-((3))-4, 43C -((3))-4A, 43C-((3))-5, and 43C -((3))-7A, are
situated in the southeast quadrant of the Interstate 81 Exit 317/Martinsburg Pike (U.S.
Route 11) interchange area. The 79.13 -acre site has frontage along Martinsburg Pike and
along Redbud Road (Route 661).
The Northeast Land Use Plan identifies a new major collector road, which connects Old
Charles Town Road (Route 761) to Martinsburg Pike. The location of the new major
collector road intersection with Martinsburg Pike was established during the rezoning and
master development plan process associated with the Rutherford's Farm Industrial Park.
Therefore, the new major collector road is planned to traverse the subject site along the
northern boundary of tax parcel 43-((A))-150 and is planned to run near the subject
property's eastern boundary and intersect Martinsburg Pike (U.S. Route 11).
The Interstate 81 widening project is anticipated to relocate the northbound off -ramp to
align with Martinsburg Pike at the current location of the Redbud Road intersection with
Martinsburg Pike. This road improvement project will ultimately result in the need for
Frederick County to determine an acceptable route to relocate traffic flow from Redbud
Road to Martinsburg Pike. The applicants' proffer statement has made provisions for the
dedication of a 50 -foot right-of-way through the subject property that will allow for
future displaced traffic to access Martinsburg Pike at the signalized intersection
associated with the new major collector road. Furthermore, the applicants' proffer
statement prohibits commercial entrances along Redbud Road.
Flood Plains
The subject site is located on the FEMA NFIP map #510063-0105 -B. The entire site is
located as "Zone C", area outside the 100 -year flood plain.
3
Greenway Engineering October 13, 2004 North Stephenson, Inc. Rezoning
Wetlands
The National Wetlands Inventory Map identifies One wetland area in the southwestern
portion of the 79.13 -acre parcel, which is a man-made impoundment. The treatment of
this wetland area will be determined during the master development plan process for the
future industrial site.
Steep Slopes
There are no steep slopes on the subject site.
Mature Woodlands
Two areas of mature deciduous trees exist on the 79.13 -acre site, which are located in the
northwestern portion of the subject site. It is anticipated that these areas will be impacted
by the future development of industrial sites, parking areas and by the future relocation of
Redbud Road. In April 2003, the Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance to eliminate
a maximum disturbance percentage for woodland areas on commercial and industrial
properties and to require higher planting standards for parking lot areas. Site plans for
the 79.13 -acre property will comply with these standards.
Soil Types
The Soil Survey of Fredrick County, published by the USDA Soil Conservation Service
was consulted to determine soil types contained in this tract. The subject site is located
on map sheet number 24 & 30, and contains the following soil types:
513 -Carbo Silt Loam: 2-7% slope
5C -Carbo Silt Loam: 7-15% slope
6C -Carbo Oaklet Silt Loam, very rock 2-15% slope
3213-0aklet Silt Loam: 2-7% slope
The 513 -Carbo Silt Loam and 32B-Oaklet Silt Loam soils are identified on page 123 as
prime farmland soils. All soil types possess moderate to high shrink -swell potential.
Karst Features
The geology associated with the subject site has the potential for the presence of karst
features. The delineation of karst features throughout the project site is proffered to
occur during the master development plan process. Furthermore, the proffer statement
provides for geotechnical analysis during the site development plan process for any
10
Greenway Engineering October 13, 2004 North Stephenson, Inc. Rezoning
development that will occur within close proximity of identified karst features to
determine appropriate treatment methods to ensure that structural development,
stormwater management facilities and storrnwater discharge does not Negatively impact
these features.

North: Zoned Rural Areas (RA)
South: Zoned Rural Areas (RA)
East: Zoned Rural Areas (RA)
West: Zoned Residential Performance (RP)
Zoned Business General District (132)
C. TRANSPORTATION
Use: Residential and Unimproved
Use: Residential and Agricultural
Use: Agricultural
Use: Residential
Use: Rutherford's Farm Indust. Park
The 79.13 -acre site has approximately 1,300 feet of frontage along Martinsburg Pike
(U.S. Route 11 North), which is classified as a major arterial road; approximately 2,400
feet of frontage along Redbud Road (Route 661), which is classified as a local street; and
will have approximately 1,300 feet of frontage along the new major collector road that is
identified to follow the northern boundary of the industrial site.
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been prepared for the 79.13 -acre site by Patton Harris
Rust, which is dated September 22, 2004 and included as a component of the Impact
Analysis Statement. The TIA assumes the total build out of 800,000 square feet of
industrial land use by year 2015. The TIA provides for a Level of Service (LOS)
analysis, AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes and Average Daily Trip volumes for
existing, background and build out conditions. It should be noted that the background
traffic data accounts for the buildout of the Rutherford's Farm Industrial Park and the
Stephenson Village Residential Planned Community, as well as a 5% increase in regional
traffic generation on Martinsburg Pike compounded annually throughout the 2015 project
buildout year.
The applicants' proffer statement has been designed to prohibit access to Redbud Road,
as this intersection with Martinsburg Pike fails during peak hour traffic volumes.
Therefore, the applicants' propose to provide access to the 79.13 -acre industrial site at the
planned signalized intersection with Martinsburg Pike and the Rutherford's Farm
Industrial Park major collector road entrance. The TIA assumes both the projected traffic
impacts from major developments in the immediate area of this project, as well as an
5
Greenway Engineering October 13, 2004 North Stephenson, Inc. Rezoning
average annual increase in traffic on Martinsburg Pike to account for regional traffic
impacts. Furthermore, the TIA assumes the improvements that have been proffered for
the Martinsburg Pike corridor from these future developments.
The TIA demonstrates that the background traffic volumes create a Level of Service "D"
at the signalized intersection of Martinsburg Pike and the new major collector road, and
further demonstrates that this intersection functions at the same Level of Service "D"
assuming the total build out of 800,000 square feet of industrial land use on the 79.13 -
acre site. Therefore, the addition of the 5,874 vehicle trips projected from the industrial
site does not reduce the Level of Service at the intersection of Martinsburg Pike and the
new major collector road from the Level of Service that is projected to occur solely from
background traffic volumes.
The applicants' proffer statement provides for on-site and off-site improvements to the
surrounding transportation system, including dual left turn lanes on the southbound
Martinsburg Pike approach to the project site, a continuous right turn lane within the
Martinsburg Pike right-of-way from the intersection of Redbud Road to the signalized
intersection into the project site, the execution of a signalization agreement with VDOT
for traffic signalization at the intersection of Martinsburg Pike and the major collector
road aligning with Renzi Drive at the Rutherford's Farm Industrial Park, the dedication of
right-of-way for the ultimate design of the major collector road from the signalized
intersection at Martinsburg Pike to the CSX railroad, the provision of right-of-way
dedication along Redbud Road for the proposed Interstate 81 widening, and the
dedication of a 50 -foot right-of-way through the subject site for the relocation of Redbud
Road that is anticipated to be severed from its current intersection at Martinsburg Pike as
a result of the Interstate 81 widening project. These proffered on-site and of -site
improvements will maintain the LOS projected from background traffic impacts and
therefore, will mitigate the transportation impacts associated with 79.13 -acre industrial
development.
D. SEWAGE CONVEYANCE AND TREATMENT
The 79.13 -acre subject site is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA)
boundary. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) developed the Route 11
North Sewer and Water Service Area plan to serve the northeast portion of the County,
which was approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2002.
An 8" sewer force main directing flow to the Redbud Run Pump Station serves a portion
of the northeast area of the County. This 8" sewer force main is constructed within the
Redbud Road (Rt. 661) right-of-way, which adjoins the subject site. Sewage effluent
from the industrial site will be directed through a series of force mains and gravity lines
to the Opequon Water Reclamation Facility. This treatment facility has a hydraulic
capacity of 8.4 MGD, which has flows allocated to the FCSA and the City of Winchester
Public Utilities. The on-site sewer infrastructure required to convey effluent to the
rol
Greenway Engineering October 13, 21004 North Stephenson, Inc. Rezoning
treatment facility will be developed by the applicants to standards acceptable to the
FCSA for future operation and maintenance.
The impact of rezoning the 79.13 -acres can be based on comparable discharge patterns of
500 gallons -per -day (GPD) per acre for industrial land use. The figures below represent
the impact that the total build out of the proffered square footage of structural area has on
the sewage conveyance and water supply systems.
Q = 500 GPD per acre
Q = 500 GPD x 79.13 acres
Q = 39,565 GPD projected at total build out
The proposed rezoning is projected to increase flows to the Opequon Water Reclamation
Facility by 39,565 GPD at total build out. The design capacity of the Opequon Water
Reclamation Facility is currently 8.4 MGD, of which 6.4 MPD is utilized. The projected
increase of 39,565 GPD at total build out represents a 1.9% increase in the current
available capacity of the treatment facility; therefore, adequate capacity and infrastructure
is available for this industrial development.
E. WATER SUPPLY
The 79.13 -acre subject site is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA)
boundary. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA) developed the Route 11
North Sewer and Water Service Area plan to serve the northeast portion of the County,
which was approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2002.
A 10" water line is located along the eastern side of Martinsburg Pike (U.S. Route 11),
which traverses the 79.13 -acre site. Furthermore, a 20" water transmission line is
currently in place on the west side of Martinsburg Pike, which is planned to follow the
major collector road serving the Rutherford's Farm Industrial Park and this industrial
development. The on-site water infrastructure required to convey potable water to the
proposed industrial uses will be developed by the applicants to standards acceptable to
the FCSA for future operation and maintenance.
The impact of rezoning the 79.13 -acres can be based on comparable water usage of 1,000
gallons -per -day (GPD) per acre for industrial land use. The figures below represent the
impact that the total build out of the proffered square footage of structural area has on the
water supply system.
Q = 1,000 GPD per acre
Q = 1,000 GPD x 79.13 acres
Q = 79,130 GPD projected at total build out
The projected water usage for the proposed rezoning is 79,130 GPD at total build out.
This projection represents approximately 3.9% of the North Water Treatment Plant
7
Greenway Engineering October 13, 2004 North Stephenson, Inc. Rezoning
current capacity of 2 MGD. The North Water Treatment Plan is designed to increase
treatment capacity to approximately 4 MGD. Therefore, the existing source and
infrastructure is adeauate to accommodate the capacity needs of the_. proposed 79.13 -acre
industrial site at total build out.
F. DRAINAGE
The 79.13 -acre parcel is gently sloping and drains from the north and west towards the
southeastern portion of the project site. On-site storm water management facilities will
be designed to adequately accommodate the post -development conditions. The
applicants have proffered to prepare a geotechnical analysis for the purpose of identifying
any suspect karst depressions and to ensure that proposed developed- areas do not
adversely impact water quality through storm water management design. Storm water
management will be designed in accordance with all applicable state and local storm
water management requirements and erosion and sedimentation control.
G. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The impact on solid waste disposal facilities can be projected from an average annual
business consumption of landfill volume of 5.4 cubic yards per 1,000 sq ft. of structural
floor area (Civil Engineering Reference Manual, 4th edition). The following figures
show the increase in average annual volume based on the 800,000 square feet of
industrial square footage that is projected to develop over a 10 -year period:
AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. per 1,000 sq. ft.
AV = 5.4 Cu. Yd. x 800 (1,000 sq. ft.)
AV = 4,320 Cu. Yd. at build-out/yr or 3,024 tons/yr at build -out
AV = 3,024 tons/yr divided by 10 -yr build -out = 302.4 ton annual increase
The Municipal Solid Waste area of the Regional Landfill has a current remaining
capacity of 13,100,000 cubic yards of air space. The projected annual solid waste
generation from the subject site is anticipated to be 302 tons per year, which represents a
0.15% increase in the solid waste received by the Municipal Solid Waste area of the
Regional Landfill, which currently averages 200,000 tons per year. This projected annual
increase in solid waste generation is manageable and can be accommodated by the
Regional Landfill.
H. HISTORICAL SITES AND STRUCTURES
The Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey identifies the Seven Oaks residential
structure (#34-1067) as potentially significant, although this structure was not deemed
Greenway Engineering October 13, 2004 North Stephenson, Inc. Rezoning
eligible for the state or national register of historic places. The applicants' utilized Seven
Oaks as a residential rental property over the years and recently razed the structure under
an approved demolition permit issued by Frederick County. Prior to obtaining this
demolition permit, the applicants' determined that the Seven Oaks structure did not lend
itself as an adaptive reuse structure for commercial or industrial use. Furthermore, the
applicants' were advised that the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield Foundation (SVBF) did
not desire to pursue acquisition of the Seven Oaks residence for use as a tourist center.
However, prior to razing the residence, the applicants' allowed the structure to be
photographed, inventoried and cataloged both externally and internally by an
architectural historian.
The southeastern corner of the subject site is located across Redbud Road (Route 661)
from the former Stine parcel, which was acquired by the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield
Foundation. A portion of the 3rd Winchester Core Battlefield Area is located
approximately 900 feet southeast of the southeastern corner of the proposed industrial
site. The CSX Railroad crosses Redbud Road at the divide of the subject site and the
SVBF parcel. The potential for rail -spur and rail siding is very good beginning at this
location and proceeding north along the CSX Railroad for approximately 1,200 linear
feet. Therefore, it is anticipated that industrial structural development will be located at
least 1,000 linear feet from the 3rd Winchester Core Battlefield Area due to the location of
rail -spur and rail -siding. The applicants' have proffered to prohibit illuminated and non -
illuminated business signs along the 1,400+ feet comprising the eastern property line of
tax parcel 43-((A))-152. The distance between future industrial structures and the 3rd
Winchester Core Battlefield Area, coupled with the elimination of business signs along
the eastern boundary of tax parcel 43-((A))-152 will assist in the mitigation of impacts to
the viewshed associated with the 3rd Winchester Core Battlefield Area.
I. IMPACT ON COMMUNITY FACILITIES
The Frederick County Capital Facilities Fiscal Impact Model has been prepared for the
proposed rezoning of the 79.13 -acre site based on a proffered maximum square footage
of 800,000 square feet of industrial land use. The results of the Capital Facilities Fiscal
Impact Model identify that the build -out of this square footage will generate
$6,034,694.00 in revenues for capital facilities needs in the community. The Capital
Facilities Fiscal Impact Model identifies an impact to fire and rescue services, which has
been further mitigated by the applicants' proffered monetary contribution of $0.01 per
square foot of structural development on the subject site. This monetary proffer would
result in an additional $8,000.00 for fire and rescue services if the proffered maximum
square footage is developed on the subject site. No additional impacts to community
facilities are anticipated by this rezoning application.
