West Winchester Substation will be constructed on an easement of 5.46 acres to The Potomac Edison Company on land owned by Ralph W. Poe, located on U.S. Route 50, west of the city of Winchester in Frederick County, Virginia. The site is located in the Frederick Poplimento loam soil group (hydrologic Type C). This substation will disturb approximately 4.0 acres of the site. The graded area of the substation will have a slope of 2.00% with 2 horizontal to 1 vertical side slopes. The substation area is 252' x 262' and will be covered with a 3" thick cover of loose crushed stone with a maximum stone size of 1 1". The substation entrance road will be 16' wide and 1,108' long and will be covered with 6" of compacted crushed stone. There are two separate watersheds involved in the runoff calculations for this substation and are delineated as Watershed "A" and Watershed "B" on the Winchester, Virginia USGS topographic quadrangle. Watershed "A" flows to the northeast and Watershed "B" flows to the southeast. The runoff calculations for both watersheds were made using the U.S. Soil Conservation Service Technical Release 55. . The pre -development 10-year storm runoff for Watershed "A" was calculated to be 1.65" and peak discharge of 3.35 c.f.s. The post -development 10-year storm runoff for Watershed "A" thru the grass lined channel was calculated to be 1.81" and a peak discharge of 3.74 c.f.s. The calculations for the grass lined channel provided on Drawing 412-390 indicate that it is adequate for both the flow Q and the volocity V and that no erosion to the channel will take place. The pre -development 10-year storm runoff for Watershed "B" was calculated to be 1.65" and peak discharge of 6.41 c.f.s. The post -development for Watershed "B" was calculated in two steps. Step 1: The runoff from the area northeast and northwest of the substation area is collected and concentrated in a grass lined channel from Pt."A" to Pt."B". Step 2: The runoff from the remaining area, including the substation area, is collected and concentrated in a grass lined channel from Pt. "B" to Pt. "C". - 2 - • These points in the grass lined channel are shown on Drawing 412-390, Sheet 1. The post -development runoff for Step 1 was calculated to !!e 1.65" and a peak discharge of 3.05 c.f.s. The post -development runoff for Step 2 was calculated to be 1.96" and a peak discharge rate of 5.76 c.f.s. The calculations for the grass lined channel provided on Drawing 412-390 indicate that it is adequate for both the flow Q and the velocity V and that no erosion to the channel will take place. All calculations are attached. The erosion control measures proposed for this site and shown on Drawing 412-390, consist of silt fence where shown, straw bales or silt fence dikes in channels as noted, trapezoidal grass lined channels to route the runoff from the drainage area around the substation site and away from the substation road, 50 ft. stabilized construction entrance, level lip spreader as shown, erosion control mat on fill slopes, and any additional sediment control measures that may be required during construction. Questions concerning the runoff computations should be addressed to Dale C.

The site plan was approved at the last meeting of the Planning Commission and will be before you for further review on April 11, 1990. While we plan to have a structured presentation at your meeting on April 11, in anticipation of that meeting, we would like to provide you with some basic information about the substation, and invite you to view the proposed location. If you would like to physically view the site, we will meet you in the parking lot of the Winchester Livestock Exchange at 12:00 P.M. on Tuesday, April 10. From there we are literally minutes from the site. Additionally, if you would so like, we would also like to take you to the Bartonsville (Kernstown) Substation on Route 37 South to show you a constructed substation. The Protect The West Winchester Substation will ultimately be a four bank 138 kV stepdown substation. The substation will physically occupy approximately 1.4 acres of the total site of 4.1 acres. The 1.4 acres will be graveled and enclosed by a chain link fence, and the remainder of the property will be in grass with a screen of trees around the substation site. The new 138 kV transmission line will enter the Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Two proposed substation from the southeast. It is anticipated that six 12kV distribution circuits will originate from the proposed West Winchester Substation. Four circuits will exit the substation in a northeasterly direction toward Route 50, the two remaining circuits will exit the substation in a southeasterly direction, one circuit on the existing 34.5 kV line that parallels the Winchester & Western Railroad and the other circuit underbuilt on the proposed 138 kV transmission line. Status of Proceedings It is important to note that this matter comes before the Board incident to the site plan review process and is not a request by the Company for a rezoning or conditional use permit. "Public utility ... transformer substations ... [and] transmission lines and towers ...." are permitted uses in the Rural Area District. Frederick County Code Section 21-4-2-18. Such facilities in Rural Districts are in accord with the County's comprehensive plan. The General Assembly has authorized localities to establish site plan review procedures "to assure compliance with regulations contained in such zoning ordinances." Virginia Code Annotated Section 15.1-491. The site plan submitted by the Company has been found by both the staff and the planning commission to comply with the technical requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Frederick County Code Sections 21-20, et seg. The Board of Supervisors has delegated responsibility for insuring site plan compliance with the County's technical requirements to the Zoning Administrator subject to the supervision and approval of the planning commission and ultimate review by the Board. Frederick County Code Section 20-6-4. The sole function of the review of the Board of Supervisors is to insure that the site plan requirements have been met, which is an administrative, as opposed to legislative, function of the Board. If the proposed use is permitted in the zoning district, it is improper for the Board of Supervisors to decide on a case -by -case basis whether the permitted use should in fact be allowed. As noted in Williams, American Planning Law, Vol. 5 (1985), Section 152.01: While the distinction in function between special permits and site plan review is perfectly clear, it is important that the distinction be maintained -particularly in those states where ... if in the course of site plan review the planning board [or Board of Supervisors] takes over the power to decide whether the proposed use is appropriate at that spot, in terms of its impact on neighborhood, the traffic it generates, etc., then the site plan Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Three review becomes assimilated to the special permit function, and there is no difference between them. Such case by case use determination in the site plan review process is improper. As noted by the Supreme Court of Connecticut in Goldberg v. zoning Commission of Tour. of Simsbury, 376 A.2d, 385, 389 (Conn. 1977)• The Commission's concern for the residential character of the neighborhood is appropriate when there is an application for a change of zone, but not when approval is sought for a site plan for a use already permitted by the ordinance. (Emphasis added). As the Supreme Court of Virginia noted in Bd. Sup. James City County v. Rowe, 216 Va. 128, 145-46 (1975), a "county cannot limit or restrict the use which a person may make of his property under the guise of this police power where the exercise of such power would be justified solely on aesthetic considerations" or other considerations not permitted by law under its duly promulgated zoning ordinance. The Need Potomac Edison's demographic projections indicate that the demand for electric power will increase by 50% or more in the Frederick County area by the year 2000. The West Winchester Substation will be constructed during 1990, is scheduled to be in service by December 1990, and is necessary to meet the growing demand for electricity in the western portion of Frederick County and the City of Winchester, Virginia Site Selection A total of six substation sites were investigated prior to the purchase of the Poe site, including a site on Route 803 owned by the C. L. Robinson Corporation, which was discussed with the Board last year. Negotiations proceeded with the various landowners including Mr. Bishop, and an easement to construct the substation was acquired on the property of Ralph W. Poe. Necessary access easements to build the substation have also been acquired from Mrs. Smith who adjoins the substation site on the northeast. The proposed site is adjacent to and immediately to the east of two auto salvage yards, one of which is owned by Mr. Greg Bishop, and is located north of the Winchester & Western Railway. The site is over 1000 feet from Route 37, and 900 feet from Route 50, and is screened by rising Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Four topography to the north and east. Additionally, a row of white pine and arborvitae will be planted around the site further screening it from public view. By utilizing this site, the transmission line from Route 37 to the substation has been shortened by approximately 2000 feet, construction problems attendant to placing poles in the wetlands paralleling the Winchester and Western Railway have been eliminated, and greater utilization of existing utility corridors (the existing 34.5-12kV line) has been achieved. Electromagnetic Fields The magnetic fields generated by substations of this type are low, and at the property line of the substation will be in the range of one to five milligauss. For comparison purposes, enclosed is a chart which shows that these fields compare quite favorably with those commonly found in the home and in the typical office environment. These levels are comparable to those found in the County meeting room, which were measured at one to two milligauss. Both substations and electric lines are existing technologies which have been in place for decades in Frederick County, none of which have been demonstrably shown to present any hazard to the health of the public. Enclosed for your information is a brochure entitled "Electric Magnetic Fields - Answers to Your Questions" prepared by the Edison Electric Institute. Sound The substation does produce a low, humming sound. The sound level at the property line of the substation when ultimately brought on line with four banks of transformers will increase approximately eight to ten DB(A) above the present ambient sound level. The only noise restriction in the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance is that required in an M-1 Zone, which limits industrial uses to those producing no more than 75 DB(A) at the property line. Obviously the substation is well within that limit, and generates far less offsite noise than does, for example, the existing stockyard, Routes 50 and 37, the Winchester & Western Railway, and will be less than that generated by schools, and other uses permitted in a Rural Area, such as dairy operations and poultry houses. Summary For the foregoing reasons, we believe the Company has selected the optimal site for the West Winchester Substation, has submitted a site plan which complies with the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, and we respectfully ask that you approve the site plan at your meeting on Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Five April 11, at which time we will be glad to provide answers to any questions which you may then have. We look forward to meeting any of you who wish to view the site on Tuesday, April 11. If you plan to view the property on April 11, please call my office and confirm that fact.

The site plan was recommended for approval by the Frederick County Planning Commission on April 4, 1990, and received final approval from the Frederick County Board Of Supervisors on May 9, 1990. The approved site plan calls for the construction of a 138 kV stepdown substation known as the West Winchester Substation. The improved 5.46 acre site will consist of a 250' x 250' area to house the substation, its towers, and control building, a chain link fence with posted warning signs, an access easement, and landscaping to consist of white pine and pyramidal arborvitae. All new distribution lines, as well as all existing 34.5 kV and 12 kV pole mounted distribution lines leading from the substation north to U.S. Route 50 West will be placed underground (as per letter from John E.

The site plan was approved at the last meeting of the Planning Commission and will be before you for further review on April 11, 1990. While we plan to have a structured presentation at your meeting on April 11, in anticipation of that meeting, we would like to provide you with some basic information about the substation, and invite you to view the proposed location. If you would like to physically view the site, we will meet you in the parking lot of the Winchester Livestock Exchange at 12:00 P.M. on Tuesday, April 10. From there we are literally minutes from the site. Additionally, if you would so like, we would also like to take you to the Bartonsville (Kernstown) Substation on Route 37 South to show you a constructed substation. The Project The West Winchester Substation will ultimately be a four bank 138 kV stepdown substation. The substation will physically occupy approximately 1.4 acres of the total site of 4.1 acres. The 1.4 acres will be graveled and enclosed by a chain link fence, and the remainder of the property will be in grass with a screen of trees around the substation site. The new 138 kV transmission line will enter the Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Two proposed substation from the southeast. It is anticipated that six 12kV distribution circuits will originate from the proposed West Winchester Substation. Four circuits will exit the substation in a northeasterly direction toward Route 50, the two remaining circuits will exit the substation in a southeasterly direction, one circuit on the existing 34.5 kV line that parallels the Winchester & Western Railroad and the other circuit underbuilt on the proposed 138 kV transmission line. Status of Proceedings It is important to note that this matter comes before the Board incident to the site plan review process and is not a request by the Company for a rezoning or conditional use permit. "Public utility ... transformer substations ... [and] transmission lines and towers ...." are permitted uses in the Rural Area District. Frederick County Code Section 21-4-2-18. Such facilities in Rural Districts are in accord with the County's comprehensive plan. The General Assembly has authorized localities to establish site plan review procedures "to assure compliance with regulations contained in such zoning ordinances." Virginia Code Annotated Section 15.1-491. The site plan submitted by the Company has been found by both the staff and the planning commission to comply with the technical requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Frederick County Code Sections 21-20, et sea. The Board of Supervisors has delegated responsibility for insuring site plan compliance with the County's technical requirements to the Zoning Administrator subject to the supervision and approval of the planning commission and ultimate review by the Board. Frederick County Code Section 20-6-4. The sole function of the review of the Board of Supervisors is to insure that the site plan requirements have been met, which is an administrative, as opposed to legislative, function of the Board. If the proposed use is permitted in the zoning district, it is improper for the Board of Supervisors to decide on a case -by -case basis whether the permitted use should in fact be allowed. As noted in Williams, American Planning Law, Vol. 5 (1985), Section 152.01: While the distinction in function between special permits and site plan review is perfectly clear, it is important that the distinction be maintained -particularly in those states where ... if in the course of site plan review the planning board [or Board of Supervisors] takes over the power to decide whether the proposed use is appropriate at that spot, in terms of its impact on neighborhood, the traffic it generates, etc., then the site plan r 0 Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Three review becomes assimilated to the special permit function, and there is no difference between them. Such case by case use determination in the site plan review process is improper. As noted by the Supreme Court of Connecticut in Goldberg v. zoning Commission of Town of Simsbury, 376 A.2d, 385, 389 (Conn. 1977): The Commission's concern for the residential character of the neighborhood is appropriate when there is an applycation for a change of zone, but not when approval is sought for a site plan for a use already permitted by the ordinance. (Emphasis added). As the Supreme Court of Virginia noted in Bd. Sup. James City County v. Rowe, 216 Va. 128, 145-46 (1975), a "county cannot limit or restrict the use which a person may make of his property under the guise of this police power where the exercise of such power would be justified solely on aesthetic considerations" or other considerations not permitted by law under its duly promulgated zoning ordinance. The Need Potomac Edison's demographic projections indicate that the demand for electric power will increase by 50% or more in the Frederick County area by the year 2000. The West Winchester Substation will be constructed during 1990, is scheduled to be in service by December 1990, and is necessary to meet the growing demand for electricity in the western portion of Frederick County and the City of Winchester, Virginia Site Selection A total of six substation sites were investigated prior to the purchase of the Poe site, including a site on Route 803 owned by the C. L. Robinson Corporation, which was discussed with the Board last year. Negotiations proceeded with the various landowners including Mr. Bishop, and an easement to construct the substation was acquired on the property of Ralph W. Poe. Necessary access easements to build the substation have also been acquired from Mrs. Smith who adjoins the substation site on the northeast. The proposed site is adjacent to and immediately to the east of two auto salvage yards, one of which is owned by Mr. Greg Bishop, and is located north of the Winchester & Western Railway. The site is over 1000 feet from Route 37, and 900 feet from Route 50, and is screened by rising 0 0 Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Four topography to the north and east. Additionally, a row of white pine and arborvitae will be planted around the site further screening it from public view. By utilizing this site, the transmission line from Route 37 to the substation has been shortened by approximately 2000 feet, construction problems attendant to placing poles in the wetlands paralleling the Winchester and Western Railway have been eliminated, and greater utilization of existing utility corridors (the existing 34.5-12kV line) has been achieved. Electromagnetic Fields The magnetic fields generated by substations of this type are low, and at the property line of the substation will be in the range of one to five milligauss. For comparison purposes, enclosed is a chart which shows that these fields compare quite favorably with those commonly found in the home and in the typical office environment. These levels are comparable to those found in the County meeting room, which were measured at one to two milligauss. Both substations and electric lines are existing technologies which have been in place for decades in Frederick County, none of which have been demonstrably shown to present any hazard to the health of the public. Enclosed for your information is a brochure entitled "Electric Magnetic Fields - Answers to Your Questions" prepared by the Edison Electric Institute. Sound The substation does produce a low, humming sound. The sound level at the property line of the substation when ultimately brought on line with four banks of transformers will increase approximately eight to ten DB(A) above the present ambient sound level. T•he only noise restriction in the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance is that required in an M-1 Zone, which limits industrial uses to those producing no more than 75 DB(A) at the property line. Obviously the substation is well within that limit, and generates far less offsite noise than does, for example, the existing stockyard, Routes 50 and 37, the Winchester & Western Railway, and will be less than that generated by schools, and other uses permitted in a Rural Area, such as dairy operations and poultry houses. Summary For the foregoing reasons, we believe the Company has selected the optimal site for the West Winchester Substation, has submitted a site plan which complies with the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, and we respectfully ask that you approve the site plan at your meeting on 9 • Mr. Kenneth Y. Stiles, et al April 6, 1990 - Page Five April 11, at which time we will be glad to provide answers to any questions which you may then have. We look forward to meeting any of you who wish to view the site on Tuesday, April 11. If you plan to view the property on April 11, please call my office and confirm that fact.

Although the location of the sub is in agricultural zoning the long term use of this property has been nonconforming to residential and camping. Ward Avenue and Stonewall Drive residents would suffer noise pollution and degrading of property values and unknown effects of exposure to electrical fields.
