RE: September Meeting and Agenda
DATE: August 28, 2000
The Frederick County Transportation Committee will hold a public hearing for the update of the
Secondary Road Improvement Plan at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday September 5, 2000, in the Board
Room of the Frederick County Administration Building, 107 North Kent Street, Winchester, Virginia.
The agenda for this meeting is as follows:
AGENDA
• Review and Update of the 2001 - 2002 Frederick County Secondary Road Improvement
Plan.
• Other
Included in this agenda is a proposed draft of the 2001 - 2002 Frederick County Secondary Road
Improvement Plan. The plan identifies the proposed major road improvement projects, hard surface
road improvement projects, and incidental construction projects. Staff will present a map that will
depict the road improvement projects during the meeting. Please contact this office if you will be
unable to attend. Thank you.
Access to this building is limited during the evening hours. Therefore, it will be necessary to
enter the building through the rear door of the four-story wing. I would encourage committee
members to park in the county parking lot located behind the new addition or in the Joint
Judicial Center parking lot and follow the sidewalk to the back door of the four-story wing.

HARDSURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
2001/2002
Hardsurface road improvement projects provide impervious resurfacing and reconstruction of non-
hardsurfaced secondary roads. Hardsurface improvement projects are prioritized by an objective rating system
which considers average daily traffic volumes; occupied structures; physical road conditions including
geometrics, drainage, and accident reports; school bus routing; and the time that project requests have been on
the Secondary Road Improvement Plan.

INCIDENTAL CONSTRUCTION
2001/2002
Incidental construction projects are defined as minor construction projects that cost less than $100,000.
Examples involve drainage improvements, site distance improvements, spot widening, replacing overflow pipes
with box culverts, and the application of cold mix on existing road surfaces. The Virginia Department of
Transportation determines if a proposed project qualifies for Incidental Construction based on the overall scope
of the improvement.

WINCHESTER REGIONAL AIRPORT
Memorandum
491 AIRPORT ROAD
WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22602
(540) 662-2422
To: Evan Wyatt, Deputy Director — Frederick County Planning and Development
From: Renny Manuel, Director, Winchester Regional Airport Authority
Date: 7/26/00
Re: -' Secondary Road Plan — SR 645 & SR 728
I would like to request the County of Frederick consider placing Airport Road (Rt. 645) from Aviation Drive (Rt. 900)
to Victory Road (Rt. 728); as well as Victory Road fro Airport Road to Millwood Pike (US Rt. 50/17) in the Secondary
Road Plan.
Due to the continuing expansion of the Winchester Regional Airport and the ongoing industrial development around
the Airport, truck traffic has increased dramatically. In addition, there has been an increase in vehicular traffic
utilizing this section in order to avoid the Interstate 81 and Route 50 interchange.
Attached is a brief summary describing the need for this road to be added to the Secondary Road Plan. Also
included is the Runway 32 Protection Zone Plan and Profile detailing the section of road that penetrates into the
Part 77 Surfaces.
Should you require additional information or have questions, please contact my office
Thank you for your continued assistance and support.
:EFT, ui- r_ I!' u G . =-i"PNEBT
The Winchester Regional Airport Authority is seeking ways to improve road and aviation
modes of transportation by combining the efforts and plans of all responsible agencies to
include Local, State and Federal agencies. This would allow the efficient management of the
taxpayers' funds for which we are fiscally responsible.
Two factors weigh heavily on the need to improve the eastern portion of Airport Road from
Kohl's Distribution Center to the Victory Road intersection.
Factor one involves vehicle and truck traffic on Airport Road from Routes 522 and 50, which
has steadily increased over the last twelve months. This is the result of continuing business
and industrial development around the Airport and the use of Airport Road as a detour for
traffic avoiding the Route 50/Interstate 81 intersection. Airport Road from Kohl's distribution
center running east to Victory Road is a narrow rural road with no designated turning lanes for
the businesses that are continuing to build in that area. Ruts visible at the intersection of
Airport Road and Victory Road, suggest a need for improvement to accommodate the
increasing truck traffic. Eventually Airport Road will need improvements and repairs to the
existing road and intersection.
The second factor involves the Airport. In 1993, the Airport Authority adopted a twenty-year
Master Plan developed to meet the FAA's, safety and design standards to provide this region
a safe and efficient air transportation facility. To date, the Federal Aviation Administration, the
Virginia Department of Aviation, and the five surrounding jurisdictions have invested more
than $14 million into this facility to make these vital improvements. The last major project
needed to meet these requirements is to move a section of Airport Road from the AES
Company to the Victory Road intersection.
Passing under the Runway Protection Zone, surveys have identified part of SR645 as an
obstruction to the approach surface for Runway 32 based on the FAA standard 15 -foot
clearance for a road. The FAA requires this zone to ensure a safe and clear approach
surface for landing aircraft. Enclosed is a layout of the Airport with detail of this area to help
you have a better understanding of the need to relocate this section of road.
The Airport Authority has completed the purchase of more than $1.2 million dollars of land to
move forward with the road relocation effort. To provide VDOT with a 100 -foot easement for
this project, the Authority, FAA, VDOA and local jurisdictions, used funds to acquire the
additional land needed. Because only a portion of the road is considered an obstruction into
the Part 77 surfaces, only a fraction of the estimated cost would be eligible for funding
through the FAA and VDOA.
Available funding sources accessible by the Airport are limited therefore the Authority is
seeking financial assistance from other sources to share in the funding of this major
transportation project. Completion of this project enhances the Airport, improves intra -modal
transportation needs and meets the requirements established by the FAA for a safe and
efficient air transportation facility that is part of the National Airport System.
