Braddock Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: Rezoning Application Comment Off Road Innovations Rezoning Application Tax Map Number: 54A -1-A; 1.56 acres Dear Mr. Knechtel: Thank you for the opportunity to offer review comments on the Off Road Innovations rezoning application package, with a draft proffer statement dated May 2019 and Impact Analysis Statement dated May 2019. Frederick Water offers comments limited to the anticipated impact/effect upon Frederick Water's public water and sanitary sewer system and the demands thereon. The project parcels are located inside of the County's Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA), but through previous approvals the City of Winchester's water and sewer services have been extended and constructed on the parent tract and could be accessible for the proposed subdivision and rezoning parcel. On March 21, 2019, the Frederick Water Board of Directors granted an exception to enable the utilization of the City's water and sewer services (see attached letter of March 21, 2019). Thank you for the opportunity to offer review comments on the Berlin Steel rezoning application. f Fs uric R.

Executive Director RE: Request for Exception to Enable Utilization of City Water and Sewer - ORI Building SE Corner of Marti-Gburg Pike and Park Center Drive (Full House Drive) Tax Map Number 54A -1-A Dear Joe, On March 19, 2019, the Frederick Water Board of Directors granted your request for an exception to enable the utilization of City of Winchester Water and Sewer for your client's property on Full House Drive. This approval affirmed that the previously installed water and sewer infrastructure on Tax Map Numbers 54A -1-A and 54A -1-A2 may be used for the City's water and sewer service. The approval also recognizes the city's comment (dated February 15, 2019, attached) that the City will accept the sewerage conveyed to it through the existing private pump station and sewer line; no upgrades to the private pump station is permitted. This action enables your client to work with the City of Winchester to facilitate the water and sewer connection. The Board did want the property owner and its tenants to be aware that by utilizing City water and sewer services, the City will provide the services at rates established by City of Winchester City Council. More importantly, neither Frederick Water nor the Frederick County Board of Supervisors have a role in the water and sewer rates that may be charged by the City, and therefore the property owner and tenant will have limited if any representation in the event of future water and sewer rate increases.

I have reviewed the Proffer Statement and it is my opinion that the Proffer Statement would be in a form to meet the requirements of the Frederick County Zonng Ordinance and the Code of Virginia, and would b:: legally sufficient as a proffer statement, subject to the following comments: 1. Owner and date identification — Because the County Code requires a proffer statement for a rezoning to be recorded in the land records upon approval of the rezoning, the Proffer Statement will need to include in its heading the names of the owners of the Property. As well, for best clarity, the heading should also indicate the full date (day, month, and year) of the version of the ProtTer Statement. 2. Signature requirements/reference to "owners" — Because a rezoning and a proffer statement restrict the use of a property, the owners of the Property at the time of rezoning, and not the "developer", will need to sign Proffer Statement and the rezoning appfication. This same requirement will also apply to any powers of attorney being submitted, T you or anyo.)e other than the owners will be responsible for the presentation of the rezoning to County officials. Along similar lines, throughout the Proffer Statement, the term "developer" should be changed to "owners". 107 North lve'r'I i� _;:f • ��J'l-�;lf'. `.t I! i, _'G;,;I W__1p, to - Rouss City Hall 15 North Cameron Street Winchester, VA 22601 February 15, 2019 Joe Knechtel, PE Potesta & Associates, Inc. 15 S.

All existing facilities need to be field verified for location, size and condition. Since this connection is proposed to be made to a private pump station where the public force main is at capacity, no modifications can be made to the existing pump station. No new connections to the City's force main will be permitted. Prior to installation of the water meter, the required availability fees will need to be paid in full.
