LOCATION: This property is East of Fairway Estates and was part of the Lewis Lamp property. There has been such a strong public opposition to this application that comments are not really necessary. Suffice to say this development could bring 289 families, or 644 people on only 39 acres, or a density of 16.5 people per acre. NO. -w- ;71 DATE 9 — 7 Application for Rezoning...

Ronald Berg, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Dear Mr. Berg: I would like to voice my disapproval of the proposed rezoning of the approximately 33h acres of the land located on the south side of Senseny Road and east of Fairway Estates. The addition of a high density housing/business development in this area would only add to the already dangerous traffic level. As you are aware, the close proximity of this tract to the Senseny Road School would further expose the children attending that school to vehicular traffic. In addition, this locale has numerous school bus pick-up points for those children attending Frederick County schools and also Powhatan School. I have observed large groups of children along the roadside between the area in question and the city line, with large groups congregating especially at the entrance to Fairway Estates and at Country Club Drive. It would further appear to me that high density housing with its attendant high tax base and presumably its dependence on city water and sewers this close to the city line would make this entire area highly desirable to the city for further annexation in several years. Many of us have no desire to see this happen. I strongly urge that this property retain its Residential (R-1) classification. Sincerely, John F.

Ronald Berg, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Dear Mr. Berg: As a resident of Fairway Estates in Frederick County, I would like to go on record as apposing the rezoning of approximately 33.4 acres of land located on the south side of Rt. 657 and just east of Fairway Estates from Residential (R-1) to Residential (R-2) and Business (B-2). Senseny Road right now is highly congested and the exit from Fairway Estates onto Senseny Road is most difficult at this time. There is some question of adequate sewage and certainly an additional danger to children attending Senseny School and the ability of the road to safely handle the anticipated additional traffic. I have no objections whatsoever to seeing this property Residential (R-1) classification. Very fE my yours r D. GANS esident JDG:bs Route 6 - Box 325 Winchester, Virginia 22601 June 28, 1973 Mr. H. Ronald Berg, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Dear Mr. Berg: We oppose the rezoning to business and multiple residences of the plot on Senseny Road adjoining Fairway Estates. Our reasons are: 1. The Senseny Road School is nearby, and the heavy, fast-moving traffic makes it unsafe for children to walk to and from school on this road. The county school system insists —and rightfully so —that even children who live only a block or two from the school ride a school bus. The proposed rezoning will add more traffic and will make conditions even more dangerous for children in this vicinity. Also, congestion will be increased for the many school buses entering and leaving the school grounds. 2. Even with the recent improvements to Senseny Road, it is, in our opinion, extremely dangerous to exit from Meade Drive onto this road. The same is true of entering Meade Drive or Fairway Estates when driving west on Senseny Road. To add commercial establishments and/or apartments will increase these dangers to the point where someone might easily be killed when trying to enter or exit from these roads. 3. We question whether Senseny Road can handle increased traffic at this point, due to the existing narrow roads, the line -of -sight distances, and the nature of the hilly terrain. In addition, this road is not maintained properly during snowstorms, and many accidents and traffic stoppages occur when it snows. 4. Is there a need for additional commercial enterprises to support this residential area, since it is already near to existing establishments and to the business district? Would not the location of new enterprises further east serve the entire com- munity more effectively? Mr. H. Ronald Berg -2- June 28, 1973 We believe the time has come to recognize the traffic hazards existing in the vicinity of Senseny Road School. This subject has been discussed within the community many times. The safety and welfare of our community's children should come first, and more traffic congestion should not be added to what already exists. Also, recognition should be given to the inade- quacies of Senseny Road —even with the recent improvements. Additional traffic will certainly cause accidents and possibly even fatalities. We feel that if some time is spent observing the road conditions, the traffic congestion, particularly during school hours, and the safety of the children in the community, you would certainly agree that the area under consideration should be zoned for single-family dwellings only. Sincerely, i Mr. and Mrs. J. Kenneth Kramer JKK:sm cc: Mr. Donald R. Hodgson JAMES D. SHOCKEY, JR. P. O. BOX 767 4 WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22601 June 29, 1973 itr. H. Ronald Berg Secretary of The Frederick County Planning Commission 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Dear Mr. Berg: This is in reference to the rezoning application of ESSANEE regarding approximately 33 acres of land located on the south side of route 657 and east of Fairway Estates in the Shawnee 1"agisterial District from residential (R-1) to residential (R-2) and business (B-2). I feel the traffic congestion along Senseny Road would be detrimentally affected by changing the zoning. During the past several years the constant increase of traffic on Senseny Road is already beginning to cause problems. The changing of the zoning would certainly more than compound the situation. Further more, a change in zoning from R-1 to R-2 and B-2 will certainly reduce the value of the homes, lots, and the other acreage on which R-1 developments exist and/or future ones being planned. For the above reasons being a landowner in that vacinitysand as a resident and tax payer of Frederick County, I feel the rezoning change would be a detriment to traffic, as well as being unfair to existing landowners and residents; thus, I am apposed to the application being approved.

Ronald Berg, Secretary The Frederick County Planning Commission Winchester, Virginia 22601 Dear Mr. Berg: I wish to refer to notice of public hearing pertaining to the rezoning application of Mr. Carlin L. Smith and Mr. Lester A. Elliott doing business as ESSANEE covering their property on Senseny Road. I am the owner of two lots located in Fairway Estates and therefore feel that this rezoning would affect the future development and value of these lots. There are three subdivisions immediately adjacent or across the road from the property of ESSANEE which have been developed to very attractive and valuable homes. These are all high tax producing properties bringing in considerable income to the County. As is well known, traffic on the Senseny Road in and out of Winchester has become very heavy due to developments farther east and this will continue to become worse. At present there are several stores and small businesses farther east serving the area. Any need for general business is not necessary. As before mentioned this entire area has been developed into medium and high priced homes. Any change to apartments and townhouses crowding the area would only tend to devalue the present developed properties. Very truly yours, 1 Philip B. Glaize - 1-2/ Rt. 6, Box 311 Fairway Estates Winchester, Virginia July 4, 1973 Mr. H. Ronald Berg, Secretary' Frederick County Planning Commission 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: Rezoning of approx. 331i acres Senseny Rd. Smith/Elliott Land Dear Mr. Berg: We oppose the proposed re -zoning of the above land to multi -family and Commercial. Since our home backs up to Senseny Road, we feel we are in a position to state just how bad the traffic is becoming on Senseny Road. From 3:30 in the afternoon to about 11:00 at night, it is pretty much a steady stream with speeding and no traffic controls yet. This has been requested by us and I understand by others also. The new road was built, but really was no asset as far as safety is concerned. It is quite dangerous coming and going from Fairway and Rolling Fields. I feel we can be safe is saying that this road will not be changed in the near future to handle all of the traffic. We also feel that unless the development of this tract of land is property controlled and restricted, the value of the property of the residents of Fairway Estates will be jeopardized. We recommend Single Family with restrictions comparable to the area around. Sincerely, Ralp�?and Rut�err July 4, 1973 Mr. H. Ronald Berg, SEC. FredericKCounty Planning Commission 9 Court Square, Winchester, Virginia Dear Mr. Berg, We the resident property owners of Miller Heights are writing this letter to the County Planning Commission in opposition to the proposed rezoning of the property along Senseny Road adjacent to Pairway estates from R-1 residential to R-2 and B-2 Business. While we are not directly adjacent to this property theclose proainity andfuture effects of any rezoning in this area is our concern, Our understanding of the proposed future use of this parcel (33/ acres) of land is for Townhouses and Apartments with a smattering; of single residences. Why is it necessary for HIGH DENSITY living to be forced into a beautiful SINGLE FAMILY residential area? Neglecting all of the normal objections to this type of proposal, what possible logic would prove the need for so many APARTMENTS and ROWHOUSES in Frederick County let alone this area? Where are the residents comming from? The plans also call for a 4 acre shopping center almost across the street from Senseny Road SCHOuL. This is contrary to almost all Zoning Practices and poor planning from a Safety angle. We would like to see Frederic County develope in a logical well planned way, not by the "SPOT REZONING" method which creates the EYESORE COMMUNITIES aparent in and around our cities today. We voice our objection to this proposal as being unneeded in our area. THE HOMEOWNERS OF MILLER HEIGHTS; IL.7 OY7 I elz4ao 4011� � 1? /-t� - /L� ? 6, At,4, ,1<vt� �i 9v Mr. H. Ronald Berg, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 226ol July 4, 1973 Dear Sir: We wish to register our opposition to the proposed rezoning of approximately 33.417 acres of land, known as the Elliot land and located on the South side of Route 657 (Senseny Road) and east of Fairway Estates from Residential (R-1) to Residential (R-2) and Business (13-2) for the following reasons: 1. A proposed development of this magnitude should not be undertaken at this time without careful study and consideration of the County's long range development plans. 2. This proposed multiple occupancy and business development would permanently alter the attractive residential atmosphere of the Senseny Road area and detract seriously from the potential value of this area for Winchester suburban expansion. 3. The proposed project would detract from the value of many of the single family homes which exist in the area. 4. The addition of a large number of multiple occupancy dwellings to the area would impose a substantial additional burden on County facilities without generating a proportionate addition to the County tax base. 5. A multiple occupancy project of this size should not be permitted anywhere in the county in the absense of specific limitations on the number and size of houses, town houses and apartments to be constructed and specific strictures as to the amount of green area and recreational space to be provided. If this is permitted without contractual agreement as to the nature of the construction it is likely that economic necessity or other factors would force the developer to abandon his good intentions and build apartments or other units which are entirely unacceptable to the community. i� /V 2 6. Construction of 147 or more dwellings on a tract of this size would result in disproportionate population density in the area and create hazardous traffic conditions especially around the Senseny Road School. 7. The high number of multiple occupancy dwellings pro- posed would result in a marked increase in the number of small children in the area and would overtax the already fully utilized facilities of Senseny Road School. In light of all of the foregoing we feel most strongly that this application should not be approved at the present time. Respectfully submitted, Boris M. Luts Sandra L. Luts Route 6 Box 329 Winchester, VA 22601 cc Messrs: Raymond C. Sandy Donald R. Hodgson A. HOSZOWSKI GREEN ACRES July 5, I973 ZONING COMMISSION FREDERICK COUNTY Dear Sirs, Upon being informed of the proposed rezoning of the SMITH ELLIOT LAND adjacent to FAIRWAY ESTATES, I was made aware of the projected development of this area. As a result of my findings, I would like to be placed on record as being opposed to the rezoning of these lands for the following reasons which would directly affect me and my neighbours in nearby Green Acres : I - Although the proposed development calls for expensive townhouses to be erected on this site, it is my opinion that a lack of interest in these type dwellings in an area as expansive and undeveloped as Frederick County, could degenerate (once rezoned) into a high density apartment complex. Such an occurence could result in an undesirable element near the Senseny Road Elementary School which may be conductive to increased drug traffic and a general poor influence on our youngsters attending that school. 2 - Whether or not the development goes as planned, a high density living complex in this area would mean increased auto traffic, particularly if the shopping center is erected. Such traffic must be a hazard to the children attending the Elememtary School. It would also mean increased automobile traffic through Green Acres, as Wilkins Drive (already too heavily traveled for a residential area) would serve as an access road to the facilities on Route 7. 3 - Such a development could only mean increased problems to our already plagued water and sewage difficulties in this area. A host of other objections could be listed, the preceding list enumerating only a few. On this basis, I urge the Zoning Commission to deny the rezoning request, or at least temporarily postpone a decision so that my neighbours in Green Acres may be made aware of the proposal and their ideas be polled at a public hearing. Frederick County can and should be a beautiful and profitable area through planned expansion and those of us who, through residence have a vested interest in these affairs should be heard. Respectfull y urs, H(Jd STZSKI G. BORG GREEN ACRES JULY 5, 1973 ZONING COMMISSION FREDERICK COUNTY Dear Sirs, As a resident and neighbor of Mr. HOSZOWSKI I am in complete agreement with his comments on this development matter. I would also like to go on record as being opposed to it, until it can be further investigated. Sincerely yours, GERALD BORG July 5, 1973 MEMORANDUM TO Mr. H. Ronald Berg, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission FROM Ralph L.

GC.• RECEIVED J IL 1 S 1973. A'.ff' 7rM (7, TM mi1 I0 ml U 'fir ]I to PETITION DATED JULY 16, 1973 The subject land (38. 9 acres) is near existing areas zoned for multiple dwellings. The proposed large addition of high density dwellings (up to 1000 occupants) would impose a substantial disproportionate added burden on Frederick County facilities in this area. Roadways: Virginia Highway Department counts indicate Senseny Road traf- fic increasing approximately eight percent annually, currently approaching recommended maximums for this type road. The subject land plan could con- centrate over 400 additional vehicles using a relatively small frontal area of this road. This substantial increase in usage could pose a threat to the safety of local residents and school children and might necessitate expansion of Senseny Road. Water - Sanitary and Storm Sewers: We question the availability and ade- quacy of existing systems to absorb this concentrated added burden. Schools: Addition of this proposed high density dwelling zone could sub- stantially increase this area's seriously loaded school facilities. General: We doubt the desirability of frequent medium sized commercial facilities scattered along Senseny Road in contrast to planned master arrange- ment for such services. This additional commercial or service area directly opposite an elementary school contains safety and other factors with which to be concerned. The proposed plan would influence zoning in the large adjacent undeveloped area tending to propagate this type of zoning and concentrate high density dwellings in this small area of the county. The plan would also seriously detract from existing developed land and dwelling values and be a deterrent to the expansion of such single family dwellings whose taxable values could be maintained at a level commensurate with the established character of this area. THEREFORE: In light of the foregoing we feel most strongly that this applica- tion should not be recommended for approval at this time. T, L'u 1] K 31 II 6S. T T to th%'.

Ronald Berg, Secretary Frederick County Planning Commission 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Subject: Proposed Rezoning of Smith -Elliott Land Dear Mr. Berg: As you know, there is widespread opposition among the residents of the Senseny Road area to the proposed rezoning of approximately 38.9 acres of land, known as the Smith -Elliott land and located on the south side of Route 657 (Senseny Road) and east of Fairway Estates, from existing classification Residential R-1 to Residential R-2 and Business B-2. This opposition is so strong that a petition has been circulated among the residents of the Senseny Road area. Enclosed are copies of this petition containing approximately 365 signatures of residents who are willing to go on record as being opposed to this application. The 365 signatures on this peti- tion represent a large percentage of voters in the Senseny Road area and in- clude substantial representation from the following neighborhoods: Frederick Heights Greenwood Heights Fairway Heights Miller Heights Green Acres Senseny Road Country Club Estates Rolling Fields We feel that the proposed rezoning is not in the best interest of Frederick County for the reasons stated in the petition. Furthermore, a majority of the residents feel (given the number of properties already approved and/or - �7y July 30, 1973 Mr. H. Ronald Berg, Secretary Page 2 under development for high density residences and commercial purposes on Senseny Road and throughout the Frederick County area) that further high density or business zoning along Senseny Road is undesirable at the present time and that, for the time being, further development in this area should be limited to single family residences. Respectfully submitted on behalf of the signers of the petition, Frank E . 'day// er Route 6,GU 330 Winchester, Va. 22601 r`Zr��GI Boris M. Luts Route 6, Box 329 Winchester, Va. 22601 cc: Members of the Frederick County Planning Commission w/copy petition form Members of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors w/copy petition form P,czo»ia�t - Smith Elliott: Land I visited the office of the developer "Douse of Lords" of the suUject land and from information given have prepared a layout- ::bowing their proposed development --- and its relationship to adjoining Faiinaay Estates. From this visit, the following facts and questions are developed and sub- mitted for consideration of other interested parties: 1. The plan is a major development in town houses, apartments, a 4 acre shopping area r.nd a single row of single dwellings adjacent- to Fairway Estates to serve as a buffer zone, The planned ratio of dwellings: 117 - Town houses in groups of 9 approximately 12-13 - Apnrir;cnt units 17 - Single dwellings (lo+:s 100' x 125') 2. Each town house is 25' wic'e by 35' deep on a strip of land approximately 140' dacp. This places 9 families in .^n area 2.25 feet wide by 140 feet deep, approximately 4 times the density of: single dwellings. 3, lie expects to build $60-70,000 houses ira the zone of single dwellings which will face town houses across the street priced around $45-55,000. 4. As you work away from the buffer zone, town house values will decline. 5. lie is going on the theory that Winchester contains many people %rlio e:ill leave homes and enjoy the confined living of the town houses with the lesser maintenance. 6. Ube decor and architecture of the project is heavily colonial. From my visit I'm satisfied the man has good taste and an attraction to quality, as apposed to being purely commercial. These questions come to mind: 1. Is it wise to introduce additional areas of.'multipl.e dwellings, apart- ments, etc, so near to one already under 'development just east of this area? 2. 1 question the desirability of unplanned locations of shopping centers, and so near the school. 3. Are the c>s:is+inn sewer systems in th=s area c•1n_ahle of 2 mulf-i-le dwell.ing areas? 4. W'bat are the school problems associated with such a program of expansion? 5. How do you control the project in terms of completing as planned? He claims it is only the trust of the developer. The plan once approved could degenerate. 6. Is the developer realistic in expecting people to invest $70,000 in single dwellings facing row type town houses, despite their value at $45-55,000? 7. Will people who are attracted to the open type living of. Frederick County, lock themselves in row houses of high value? 8. Is Frederick County so developed that we must at this time consider compressed type dwellings? 9. If the project must- proceed, it would be a more realistic approach to the zoning gradation of single, town house and apartment dwellings with each area zoned individually. Provide a greater percentage of single dwellings which will permit n gradolJon in Oieir valya s similar to the planned value scalinl; or the town houses. Two rows of single dwellings might have a chance, but a single row facing acres of town houses in my opinion does not. 1.0. The road vrrr.ngoment will draw heavy traffic past the most desirable areas, These should be protected by havin3 the major entrances off the planned side road. From my discu:;sion with 1-fr. Eccles, there is apparent flexibility in his planning. lie appears willing to alter the plan to c,.ccoi::-1odatc objections from adjacent land owners, providing it remains reali.sti.c. For example, he recognized the vale; of a double row of single dwellings. It would seem in our best ?.ittcr.cst to follow up ca the orijinal suggestion of Mr. Hcrring, to di rcus. tlii :; as a group, and present a recO i sti c plan of opposition or alt:cration, or individutally filing letters of protest.

O V E R This bulletin is for those not aware of the pro- posed rezoning and development plans for the above land on Senseny Road between the Country Store and Fairway Estates. It is also a resume for those previously informed and par- ticipating. 1. A request had been filed to rezone this land from its present single residence restriction to one permitting business, apartments, town houses, and some single residences. 2. One resident of an adjacent area met the land developer and was generally informed of the plan. See attached visit report. 3. A number of residents from Green Acres, Fairway Estates and Miller Heights filed letters of opinio:= re- garding the rezoning. 4. 20 - 30 residents of these areas attended the July 5 County Planning Commission meeting. Boris Luts was appointed group spokesman for the meeting. 5. The land developer's representative requested a delay on the rezoning request: (a) They had failed to include 5.5 acres in the land description notice. (b) They had not had time to discuss their plan with adjacent or nearby property owners. 6. Commission Chairman Golladay noted that cus- tomary procedure is to review plans first with interested property owners before filing with the Commission. 7. The Chairman noted for the record, the extensive representation of interested residents, requesting a show of hzlnds to substantiate the extent of opposition. The Commission accepted and recorded the extensive file of letters from the residents. R, nin land developer was inst m eted to withdraw the existing request to rezone, and refi le sh owing the additional 5.5 acres. If resubmitted, the application will be reviewed at the August 2 meeting of the Commission. 9. Mr. Golladay requested the attending residents file a petition stating their position on this application for rezoning. (See Action section - this bulletin) 10. The land developer invited those present to review the "plan" in the Court House. A copy of the plan was given to Boris Luts for the group's use and study. From this review with the developer, these observations are made: 1. After comparison with the resident's earlier "visit report" (included with this bulletin) the following is noted: (a) The stated density had increased from approximately 4.5 units per acre to approximately 7.4 (b) Prc2osed singlehome valncv had decreased from $60,000 - $70,000 to $40,000 - $50,000 on lots 100 X 125 feet (12,500 sq. ft.) (c) Town Iiouse values had decreased from $45,000- $55,000 to $35,000 (d) Town B ouses are now three-story, %..ith garages beneath reached by a ramp from the street. The rolling terrain would be used to advantage where possible, but extensive "surface re -engineering" would admittedly be required. (e) The almost continuous row of Town. Houses was again recognized together with the relatively small area for single dwellings. (f) The plan prepared from the resident's earlier visit was inaccurate, failing to properly identify the 1.3 apa.rtment buildings containing 156 units and the n:nal.l size of the recreation area containing a 30 x 60 pool. PACE 2 2. The "Mini Park", proposed as a Gr.evi) Barrier a to the adjacent residential area seems accurately described considering the potential number of residents in.the 39 plus acres. 3. Other items raised and unresolved were: (a) Impact on Senseny Road traffic already approaching 5,000 cars per day and in- creasing at an estimated•£31 annually. (b) Added loadings on overtaxed school system. (c) Storm water run off aggravated when land is developed plusthe loading on existing sanitary sewer and disposal system. • (d) Proof of proposed building values to be installed and guarantee the program would follow this or any plan. A. The developer i.naicated sonic. possible flexi.hility in his planning, expressed willingness to aecomodate area residents and pointed out factors and consequences if the area reverted to all single homes. In summarv, the group's concensus after meeting with the proposed developer seems to be as follows: (a) The plan proposed additional high density development (up to 1,000 persons - a relatively high percentage of present Winchester population) in a residential area which presently has two sections already planned for Town Houses and apartments (on the other side of Senseny Road). (b) It would be in the area's best interest to retain single dwellings on the land in question with adequately sized land lots, developed in a cost range that supports or improves the value of nearby existing single residential property. (c) ..L' C;hoUlCi i:{s reco-jnizud, i l this 3xd and very large section of land is allow- ed to go Town House and Apartment, the large adjoining vacant land areas will have difficulty developing single house sites in the future - the multi -dwelling system will tend to propogate. (d) The developer commented on the lush -high quality of the Smith-Elliottland and adjacent home areas -- all the more reason to not cover the land with high density dwelling units. (e) Remarks were made about "THE RAPE OF LEESBURG" - it would be worthwhile to take a loot: at the areas of Row Houses, partic- ularly the rears, and apartments in that town. Action Planned 1. Each nearby area is requested to establish a repre:;entative. He will be given details of the present plan:. for your. revic.a. 2. When the developer resubmits his rezoning appl_icatiori, interested residents in each area will be inforiaed of its contents. 3. If the application again proposes high density, multiple occupancy dwellings, a petition will. be circu- lated for your signature stating the position of the area residents in respect to the "plan". 4. You will be kept advised through your area volunt.cer in preparation for attendance at the August 2 Commission mcccing. Note: in addition to the petition., attendance at the August mczting ::ill be very important. Further details are available by calling Boris M. Luts or F. E.
