John,
We have reviewed the rezoning application for Berlin Steel and Ridings to rezone a total of 15.3933
acres from RA to Mi for the use of metal fabrication business. We have also reviewed a turn lane
warrant analysis associated with this rezoning. The turn lane analysis indicated needs for turn lane in
the future, however, the proffer statement does include mitigation to offset future turn lane and
intersection needs.
Thanks,
TiJ? o its► Rhodes

RE: Rezoning Application Comment
Berlin Steel Rezoning Application
Tax Map Number: 86-A-1790 and 86-A-12
15.3933 acres
Dear Mr. Lewis:
Eric R. Lawrence
Executive Director
Thank you for the opportunity to offer review comments on the Berlin Steel rezoning
application package, with a draft proffer statement dated April 4, 2019 and Impact Analysis
Statement dated April 4, 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 outside of the County's Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA),
but through previous actions of the Board of Supervisors, Frederick Water's water service is
currently being utilized on the industrially zoned parcels adjacent to the portion of the parcels
subject of the rezoning application. Sanitary sewer service is not available to this location. I
understand that the rezoning is an effort to expand the existing use, so water service would
continue to be available on the expanded site.
The rezoning application proffer states that the proposed use will be limited to the metal
fabrication business use permitted in the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District. The impact
analysis statement is silent on the proposed water demands.

Facilities for conveyance of water to the subject properties do nrecently exist. Until the
proposed uses' projected water demand is known, it is unknown if the existing conveyance
network has the capacity to accommodate the projected demands.
Water system infrastructure is to be constructed in accordance with Frederick Water standards
and specifications. Dedicated easements may be required and based on the layout vehicular
access will need to be incorporated into the final design.
Please be reminded that Frederick Water is offering these review comments without benefit of
knowledge of the projected water demands of the site.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer review comments on the Berlin Steel rezoning
application.
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: Ridings & Berlin Steel rezoning
Dear John,
I am in receipt of the revised proffer statement, dated May 16, 2019, for this
matter. Remaining items appropriate for further follow up are:
Item 2 — With respect to the signatures for the power of attorney forms and on the proffer
statement itself, I offer two comments. First, the County now has an updated version of the power of
attorney form, available at https://wvvw.fcva.us/home/showdocumenOid=1022, the use of which
recommend. Among other things, it already makes provision to show the title of anyone signing on
behalf of an entity. Second, the form is really only intended for execution by one person. Therefore,
we should receive three separate forms, for Dennis Ridings, Beverly Ridings, and Berlin Steel. Along
similar lines, the proffer statement should have separate signature blocks for Dennis Ridings and
Beverly Ridings, along with one for Berlin Steel (and the one for Berlin Steel should show the title of
the person signing for Berlin Steel).
Item 3 — With respect to the corporate status issue, while I do not have a concern about Berlin
Steel's good standing to conduct business in Virginia, the issue is an apparent defect in its origin
deeds, which purport to convey property interests to "Berlin Steel Real Estate, Inc., a Virginia
corporation". Berlin Steel was not then and is not now a Virginia corporation. It appears to have
been and be a Delaware corporation. It is authorized to conduct business in Virginia, but is not a
Virginia corporation. There was and is no such grantee entity organized as a Virginia corporation
known as Berlin Steel Real Estate, Inc. I cannot give legal advice on this and can only advise that
you refer this matter to Berlin Steel's legal counsel (I am glad to discuss this with them), but, right
now, I do not believe that we can accept a rezoning from Berlin Steel Real Estate, Inc., the Delaware
corporation, because the deed was not made out to that entity and that entity is therefore not properly
of record as the owner.
Sincerely yours,
Roderick B. Williams
