While we have no overall objection to this application, we offer the following comments: • The existing private entrance to the facility is not adequate for the proposed commercial use. We request as a condition of this CUP, the applicant submit an Engineered Commercial Entrance Site Plan to this office for review. I have attached our standard commercial entrance checklist to assist the applicant and their engineer. • The existing private driveway location also does not meet minimum intersection sight distance (SDL- sight distance left) for a commercial entrance. In my field inspection, I was not able to identify the property corners, but it appears there should be sufficient frontage to work with. Sight distance profiles and a grading plan are part of the Commercial Entrance Sight Plan requirements to be submitted by the engineer. We appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on this Conditional Use Permit Application. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

The HRAB reviewed information associated with the Rural Landmarks Survey, information from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) and information provided by the Applicant. This application seeks to operate a commercial outdoor shooting range at 6519 Valley Pike, Middletown. This property is within the Back Creek Magisterial District. Historic Resources Advisory Board Comments: The Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah ValleL published by the National Park Service, does not identify the proposed site or the surrounding areas as being part of a battlefield. The Rural Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County, Virginia, identifies four structures located within the vicinity of the proposed Conditional Use Permit, one of those (Stickley House) is located on the subject property. The Stickley House, along with two other mapped adjacent properties are listed as potentially significant. One of adjoining properties, Indian Springs, is potentially eligible for the State Register of Historic Places. After reviewing this information and the Applicant's materials and proposals, the Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) did not support the approval of the Conditional Use Permit as presented. The HRAB expressed concern with the visual and noise impact this would have on the historic adjoining and surrounding properties. It was further noted that this area has a relatively intact collection of historic structures and could potentially qualify as a rural historic community. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Historic Resources Advisory Board CUP Comments — 6519 Valley Pike September 18, 2019 Page 2 Thank you for the chance to comment on this application.
