The public school "site", located on the east side of Rt.522 (Front Royal Pike) in eastern Frederick County, is under site plan review for a 850- student capacity public middle school, scheduled to open in Fall 2004. This TIA analyzed existing (Year 2003) and "worst -case" future (Year 2004) AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions at two (2) key intersections (one existing and one proposed) along Rt.522 (Front Royal Pike). Proposed "worst -case" land uses and associated traffic for the Frederick County Fourth Middle School "site", as well as three (3) "other" nearby developments, are included in the future traffic volumes. Traffic impact was determined by comparing, via standard intersection capacity analyses, the future "background" (without site -generated traffic) and future "total" (with site traffic) intersection conditions. Daily traffic (VPD) volumes were also provided for the roadway sections adjacent to the proposed residential site. All scope, methodology, and assumption parameters within this TIA are in strict adherence to those set by VDOT and County staff at a scoping meeting on November 25, 2002 and affirmed in a December 20, 2002 "scoping confirmation" letter and subsequent correspondence. Existing intersection analyses show that the signalized "key" intersection (at Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd.) currently operates at a "very good" (LOS=B) Level of Service during the AM peak hour and a "good, yet still acceptable" (LOS=C) Level Of Service during the PM peak Dour. After "growing" existing traffic to Fall 2004 levels and adding traffic associated with three (3) "other" area developments, future Year 2004 "Background" (without site traffic) volumes were analyzed. The Year 2004 "Background" intersection capacity analyses show that the signalized "key" intersection (at Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd.) will remain at a "very good" (LOS=B) Level Of Service during the AM peak hour, but degrade to an "unacceptable" (LOS=D) Level Of Service in the PM peak hour. With optimized signal timing, this LOS can be returned to "acceptable" (LOS=C) conditions in the PM peak hour. When optimized, the AM peak hour would remain at LOS=B. The Frederick County Fourth Middle School site is proposed to access Rt.522 with a two (2)-lane access road intersecting Rt.522 with a new "T" intersection located approximately 1,000 feet south of the signalized Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd. intersection. As a "worst -case" scenario (with a maximum student capacity of 850 students), the Frederick County Fourth Middle School "site" is expected to generate 1,233 one-way vehicle -trips (617 vehicles visiting the site) per day with 383 (AM peak hour) and 247 (PM peak hour) vehicle -trips. The future Year 2004 "Total" (with site traffic) intersection analyses reveal that the addition of the "worst case" site traffic will not cause Any traffic impact at the signalized "key" intersection (at Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd.). This intersection will remain at "very good" (LOS=B) Levels Of Service in the AM peak hour and "good/acceptable" (LOS=C) Level Of Service during the PM peak hour -- same as the optimized "background" Levels Of Service. The proposed unsignalized (stop sign controlled) site entrance (Rt.522/Site Access Rd.) intersection will also operate at "good/acceptable" (LOS=C) and safe Levels Of Service during both the AM & PM peak hours. Since no chances in Levels Of Service (LOS) have been measured within the HCS intersection capacity analyses, no traffic impact caused by the "site" traffic has been detected. Therefore, based on this analysis no "mitigation measures" are warranted or recommended. However, further detailed "Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis" (per the Millennium MUTCD) weakly indicates that the installation of a traffic signal at the proposed Rt.522/Site Access Road intersection may warrant further consideration. The final determination of this rests with the VDOT traffic engineer. Based upon the assumed "scoped" parameters, the analytical evaluations and comparisons within this TIA have shown that "worst case" traffic associated with the proposed "Frederick County Fourth Middle School' can be accommodated within the road network providing safe operating conditions at acceptable Levels Of Service during both weekday peak hours. INTRODUCTION Scope Of Study This Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) examined the potential traffic impact of the proposed "Frederick County Fourth Middle School" upon the future area road network. The public school "site", located on the east side of Rt.522 (Front Royal Pike) in eastern Frederick County, is under site plan review for a 850-student capacity public middle school, scheduled to open in Fall 2004 -- (see Figure 1 for the "site" location). This TIA analyzed existing (Year 2003) and "worst -case" future (Year 2004) AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions at two (2) key intersections (one existing and one proposed) along Rt.522 (Front Royal Pike). Proposed "worst -case" land uses and associated traffic for the Frederick County Fourth Middle School "site", as well as three (3) "other" nearby developments, are included in the future traffic volumes. Traffic impact was determined by comparing, via standard intersection capacity analyses, the future "background" (without site -generated traffic) and future "total" with site traffic) intersection conditions. Daily traffic (VPD) volumes were also provided for the roadway sections adjacent to the proposed residential site. All scope, methodology, and assumption parameters within this TIA are in strict adherence to those set by VDOT and County staff at a scoping meeting on November 25, 2002 and affirmed in a December 20, 2002 "scoping confirmation" letter and subsequent correspondence -- see Appendix A for the scoping correspondence. Methodology The AM/PM peak hour analyses and evaluations of all signalized and unsignalized intersections are in accordance with 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology (overall intersection "acceptable" @ minimum LOS "C"). All weekday trip generation rates are based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual (6th Edition) -- 1997. Future trip distributions are based on provided existing turn movement distributions and/or market area considerations. Gravity -based computer modeling is utilized for determining any distributional adjustments (diversions) due to changes in the roadway network or market conditions. Assumptions The following general assumptions, agreed by VDOT & County staff at the pre -analysis scoping meeting, are incorporated within this study (see Appendix A for more detail): - Non -phased public use development (buildout: Fall, 2004) - One (1) site access scenario to be tested: -- New site access road on Rt.522 opposite (future) realigned Paper Mill Rd. (Rt.644) (2-lane access road with two egress approach lanes @ Rt.522 — 1 lane for each turn) - One (1) site trip generation scenario w/following use: -- 850-student capacity public middle school - AM and (commuter) PM classified peak period traffic counts required at one (1) intersection -- Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd. (Rt.644) -- signalized - No 24-hour link counts required -- (24-hr. link counts per latest available VDOT counts) 2 I I I I I I � I 644 VINE / �� SITE 0 ee' t) LA RELWOO S D U TH V I E'N Slitna 'Zia OR) Memoira < ROAD P SH 1.4 C11 C OA H MH Z > 0 J"A RJNS 10 644 Mill Y Water A, 1 A i'll Gj Treatment nt Ne 41vio Armslr A16, ,1-E TS C tNA,C OR ci3' NAKELAND Nir M A N C f IJ 7.)

(Rt.644). Descriptions of these roads follow: • Rt.522 (Front Roval Pike): Rt.522 is a four (4) lane arterial traversing in a north -south direction between U.S.50 to the north and I-66 to the south. Rt.522, within the immediate study ' area, currently has 12-foot travel lanes with a two-way, left turn lane in the center of the undivided road with gravel shoulders and good -to -excellent geometries. Within the study area, this road has a 55 mph posted speed limit. • Paper Mill Rd. (Rt.644): Paper Mill Road is currently an east -west, two (2)-lane collector facility within the study area connecting the City of Winchester to the west and Rt.522 to the east. This roadway facility exhibits 11-foot width travel lanes with fair -to -good geometries and ' an unposted speed limit within the study area. 1 Existing 2003 Intersection/Link Traffic Volumes Existing AM and PM peak period turn movement traffic counts for the one (1) existing key intersection (Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd.) were collected by VETTRA Company personnel on Thursday, January 9, 2003 -- see Appendix B for the traffic count data sheets. Figure 2 presents the Existing 2003 AM/PM Peak Hour traffic volumes. The AM peak hour occurred 7:30-8:30am with the PM peak hour measured from 4:30-5:30pm. The latest available (2001) VDOT two-way 24-hour traffic counts show approximately 12,000 vpd (vehicles per day) on Rt.522 and about 6,300 vpd on Paper Mill Rd. within the study area. Using a five (5) percent annual growth rate, these daily volumes would calculate to 2003 volumes of approximately 12,900 vpd on Rt.522 and 6,770 vpd on Paper Mill Road. A spot speed survey was conducted for the section of Rt.522 south of Paper Mill Road -- near the proposed "site" access road. Speed data for this section of Rt.522 shows that the 55 mph speed limit is commensurate with the measured speeds of: 54mph (median), 53.6mph (average), and 59mph (85"' percentile). Appendix B includes the spot speed survey data sheet. DMV/VDOT accident records for the section of Rt.522 just south of and including the intersection at Paper Mill Rd. -- near the "site" frontage -- show only four (4) non -injury accidents for the 34- month period of January 1, 2000 through October 31, 2002 — see Appendix B for the accident report printout. Existing 2003 Intersection Capacity Analysis Based on the above intersection volumes as well as existing geometric conditions, the existing signalized Rt.522/paper Mill Rd. intersection were subjected to the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) capacity analysis via the latest Highway Capacity Software (HCS) modules. Figure 3 and Table 1 present the results of the capacity analyses, showing the computed Levels Of Service (LOS) and vehicular delays for the AM and PM peak hours at the subject intersection. Appendix C provides general LOS information and criteria while Appendix D includes the HCM Summary Worksheets for both peak hours at the existing intersection. Existing intersection analyses show that the signalized "key" intersection (at Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd.) currently operates at a "very good" (LOS=B) Level of Service during the AM peak hour and a "good, yet still acceptable" (LOS=C) Level Of Service during the PM peak hour. 5 LEGEND 123 (123) = AM (PM) P1c.Hr.

No other public or private projects are programmed for the road network within the study area. Traffic Growth Trends/"Grown" Traffic Volumes In order to project future traffic volumes, the existing volumes are traditionally "grown", or factored up, to the future year. Year 2003 "existing" turn movement volumes were factored up to Year 2004 "Background" levels utilizing data as provided by VDOT. As directed by staff, a five (5) percent annual growth rate was assumed for the roads within the study area. Figure 4 presents the Year 2004 "Grown" AM/PM peak hour turn movement volumes derived from the factored Year 2003 "Existing" volumes, based on the above average annual growth rate, compounded to the future year. "Other" Planned Developments Three (3) "other" planned/approved development projects within the vicinity, a warehousing distribution center and two (2) residential subdivisions are to be located along the Rt.522 corridor near the study area, was identified by staff. The purpose of identifying and analyzing "other" developments is to add the traffic associated with each of these development projects to the future "grown" traffic volumes. The addition of the "grown" and "other" traffic to the road network comprises the future "background" traffic. Figure 5 presents the Year 2004 "Other" AM/PM peak hour turn movement volumes associated with the "other" development projects. Table 2 presents the assumed Fall 2004 land uses and trip generation data for these projects. Future "Background" Traffic Volumes The summation of the Yr. 2004 "grown" plus "other" development traffic comprises the future "background" traffic volumes — as shown on Figure 6.

Table 3 and Figure 7 present the results of the capacity analyses, showing the computed Levels Of Service (LOS) and vehicular delays at the one (1) "background" intersection. Appendix E provides the AM/PM Peak Hour HCM Summary Worksheets for the analyzed intersection at Year 2004 "Background" conditions. All future HCM analyses in this TIA utilize default variables where appropriate. After "growing" existing traffic to Fall 2004 levels and adding traffic associated with three (3) "other" area developments, future Year 2004 "Background" (without site traffic) volumes were analyzed. The Year 2004 "Background" intersection capacity analyses show that the signalized "key" intersection (at Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd.) will remain at a "very good" (LOS=B) Level Of Service during the AM peak hour, but degrade to an "unacceptable" (LOS=D) Level Of Service in the PM peak hour. With optimized signal timing this LOS can be returned to "acceptable" (LOS=Q conditions in the PM peak hour. When optimized the AM peak hour would remain at LOS=B.

FOURTH MIDDLE SCHOOL" SITE DEVELOPMENT Site Development Plan/Access The Frederick County Fourth Middle School "site" is proposed for a "worst case" maximum of 850 students with sole access to Rt.522 via a new two (2)-lane "Site Access Road". Figure 8 represents the "Frederick County Fourth Middle School" General Development Plan. The "site access road" is proposed to intersect with Rt.522 at a new "T" intersection located approximately 1,000 feet south of the Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd. intersection. No interparcel access is also afforded with the proposed middle school at Fall 2004. Development Densities The "Frederick County Fourth Middle School" is scheduled to open in Fall 2004. Table 4 provides an itemization of the site's proposed "worst -case" land use and development densities. Site Trip Generation Table 4 also presents the calculated Year 2004 Daily and Peak Hour (AM/PM) trip generations for the proposed "Frederick County Fourth Middle School" development. These calculations are based on the ITE Trip Generation !Manual - Sixth Edition (1997) average trip rates. As a "worst -case" scenario (with a maximum student capacity of 850 students), the Frederick County Fourth Middle School "site" is expected to generate 1,233 one-way vehicle -trips (617 vehicles visiting the site) per day with 383 (AM peak hour) and 247 (PM peak hour) vehicle -trips. Site Trip Distribution Year 2004 site -generated trips were assigned to the road network based on distributions provided ' by the applicant per the student and employee market area. Generalized "site" trip distributions are shown on Figure 9. 1 Site Traffic Volumes Based on the abovementioned site trip generation and distributions, site traffic volumes are ' assigned to the roadway network.

Figure 11 shows the Yr. 2004 "Total" AM/PM peak hour volumes, as well as two-way, daily traffic estimates for the adjacent roadways. Future "Total" Intersection Capacity Analysis These "Total" traffic volumes, with assumed geometries, were again subjected to the HCM intersection capacity analysis procedures (as conducted for "background" conditions). Table 5 presents the results of the analyses showing the computed Levels Of Service (LOS) and vehicular delays for the AM/PM peak hours at the analyzed intersections. Figure 12 presents this LOS information in graphic format. Appendix F includes the Year 2004 AM/PM Peak Hour HCM Summary Worksheets. To fairly compare the effect of site trips (i.e. "Background" vs. "Total" conditions) on the analyzed intersections/links, the "Total" HCM computations used identical parameters, geometry, etc. -- only the volumes were changed to compute "Total" LOS's. The future Year 2004 "Total" (with site traffic) intersection analyses reveal that the addition of the "worst case" site traffic will not cause any traffic impact at the signalized "key" intersection (at Rt.522/Paper Mill Rd.). This intersection will remain at "very good" (LOS=B) Levels Of Service in the AM peak hour and "good/acceptable" (LOS=C) Level Of Service during the PM peak hour - - same as the optimized "background" Levels Of Service. The proposed unsignalized (stop sign controlled) site entrance (Rt.522/Site Access Rd.) intersection will also operate at "good/acceptable" (LOS=C) and safe Levels Of Service during both the AM & PM peak hours. 7 I I I 21 I I 123 (123) = AM (PM) Pk.IIr.

B B 110 C C no Unsignalized Rt.522/Site Access Rd. -- C 110 -- C no RECOMMENDED IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURES Since no changes in Levels Of Service (LOS) have been measured within the HCS intersection capacity analyses, no traffic impact caused by the "site" traffic has been detected. Therefore, based on this analysis no "mitigation measures" are warranted or recommended. TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS Detailed "Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis" (per the Millennium MUTCD) weakly indicates that the installation of a traffic signal at the proposed Rt.522/Site Access Road intersection may warrant further consideration. Based on the projected Fall 2004 turn movement volumes for the Rt.522/Site Access Road during the analyzed 13-hour period, and of the eight (8) possible warrants for a traffic signal, only two (2) warrants were "met". Only one (7-8am) hour of the 13 hours analyzed "met" the two (2) warrants, thus deeming the outcome of this warrant study somewhat "weak" — see Appendix G for the projected traffic volumes and Warrant Summary Printout. As shown above, the HCS capacity analyses show that both "worst -case" peals hours at this intersection will operate at "good/acceptable" and safe Levels Of Service without a signal. However, as with all signal warrants, the final determination of this study rests with the appropriate VDOT traffic engineer. CONCLUSIONS Traffic impact via intersection capacity analysis has been analyzed for existing 2003 and future Year 2004 conditions - "Background" (without site traffic) and "Total" (with site traffic). Based upon the assumed "scoped" parameters, the analytical evaluations and comparisons within this TIA have shown that the proposed development of the "Frederick County Fourth Middle School" can be accommodated within the road network provide safe operating conditions at acceptable Levels Of Service during both weekday peak hours. 25 J APPENDICES I 11 26 0 I' 1 1 APPENDIX A 1 TIA Scoping Correspondence 1 V,"''ETT _Co—,,.

Delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and lost travel time. Specifically, Level -Of -Service criteria are stated in terms of the average stopped delay per vehicle for a 15-minute analysis period. The criteria are given in Table 9-1. • Level -Of -Service A (LOS=A) describes operations with very low delay, i.e., less than 10.0 seconds per vehicle. This occurs when progression is extremely favorable, and most vehicles at -rive during the green phase. Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may also contribute to low delay. • Level -Of -Service B (LOS=B) describes operations with delay in the range of 10.1 to 20.0 seconds per vehicle. This generally occurs with good progression and/or short cycle lengths. More vehicles stop than for LOS=A, causing higher levels of average delay. • Level -Of -Service C (LOS=C) describes operations with delay in the range of 20.1 to 35.0 seconds per vehicle. These higher delays may result from fair progression and/or longer cycle lengths. Individual cycle failures may begin to appear in this level. The number of vehicles stopping is significant at this level, although many still pass through the intersection without stopping. • Level -Of -Service D (LOS=D) describes operations with delay in the range of 35.1 to 55.0 seconds per vehicle. At LOS=D, the influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may result from some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, or high v/c ratios. Many vehicles stop, and the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are noticeable. • Level -Of Service E (LOS=E) describes operations with delay in the range of 55.1 to 80.0 seconds per vehicle. This is considered to be the limit of acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate poor progression, long cycle lengths, and high v/c ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences. • Level -Of Service F (LOS=F) describes operations with delay in excess of 80.0 seconds per vehicle. This is considered to be unacceptable to most drivers. This condition often occurs with oversatu ration, i.e., when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersection. It may also occur at high We ratios below 1.00 with many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be major contributing causes to such delay levels. Source: 2000 Hibhrvay Capacity Manual 3-10 � I iL � I FREEWAYS General descriptions of operating conditions for each of the levels of service are as follows: 1. Level -of -service A —Level A describes primarily free flow operations. Average travel speeds near 60 mph generally prevail on 70-mph freeway elements. Vehicles are almost completely unimpeded in their ability to maneuver within the traffic stream. The average spacing between vehicles is about 440 ft, or 22 car - lengths, with a maximum density of 12 pc/mi/In. This affords the motorist a high level of physical and psychological comfort. The effects of minor incidents or breakdowns are easily absorbed at this level. Although they may cause a deterioration in LOS in the vicinity of the incident, standing queues will not form, and traffic quickly returns to LOS A on passing the disruption. 2. Level -of -service B—Level B also represents reasonably free -flow conditions, and speeds of over 57 mph are maintained on 70-mph freeway elements. The average spacing between ve- hicles is about 260 ft, or 13 car -lengths, with a maximum density of 20 pc/mi/ln. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly restricted, and the general level of physical and psychological comfort provided to drivers is still high. The effects of minor incidents and breakdowns are still easily ab- sorbed, though local deterioration in service would be more severe than for LOS A. 3. Level -of -service C—Level C provides for stable operations, but flows approach the range in which small increases in flow will cause substantial deterioration in service. Average travel speeds are still over 54 mph. Freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream is noticeably restricted at LOS C, and lane changes require additional care and vigilance by the driver. Average spacings are in the range of 175 ft, or 9 car -lengths, with a maximum density of 30 pe/mi/ln. Minor incidents may still be absorbed, but the local deterioration in service will be sub- stantial. Queues may be expected to form behind any significant blockage. The driver now experiences a noticeable increase in tension due to the additional vigilance required for safe oper- ation. 4. Level -of -service D—Level D borders on unstable flow. In this range, small increases in flow cause substantial deterioration in service. Average travel speeds of 46 mph or more can still be maintained on 70-mph freeway elements. Freedom to ma- neuver within the traffic stream is severely limited, and the driver experiences drastically reduced physical and psycholog- ical comfort levels. Even minor incidents can be expected to create substantial queuing, because the traffic stream has little space to absorb disruptions. Average spacings are about 125 ft, or 6 car -lengths, with a maximum density of 42 pe/mi/ln. 5. Level -of -service E—The boundary between LOS D and LOS E describes operation at capacity. Operations in this level are extremely unstable, because there are virtually no usable gaps in the traffic stream. Vehicles are spaced at approximately 80 ft, or 4 car -lengths, at relatively uniform headways. This, however, represents the minimum spacing at which stable flow can be accommodated. Any disruption to the traffic stream, such as a vehicle entering from a ramp, or a vehicle changing lanes, causes following vehicles to give way to admit the vehicle. This condition establishes a disruption wave which propagates through the upstream traffic flow. At capacity, the traffic stream has no ability to dissipate even the most minor disruptions. Any incident can be expected to produce a serious breakdown with extensive queuing. The range of flows encompassed by LOS E is relatively small compared to other levels, but reflects a sub- stantial deterioration in service. Maneuverability within the traffic stream is extremely limited, and the level of physical and psychological comfort afforded to the driver is extremely poor. Average travel speeds at capacity are approximately 30 mph. 6. Level -of -service F—Level F describes forced or breakdown flow. Such conditions generally exist within queues forming behind breakdown points. Such breakdowns occur for a number of reasons: a. Traffic incidents cause a temporary reduction in the ca- pacity of a short segment, such that the number of vehicles arriving at the point is greater than the number of vehicles that can traverse it. b. Recurring points of congestion exist, such as merge or weaving areas and lane drops, where the number of vehicles arriving is greater than the number of vehicles traversing the point. c. In forecasting situations, any location presents a problem when the projected peak hour (or other) flow rate exceeds the estimated capacity of the location. It is noted that in all cases, breakdown occurs when the ratio of actual arrival flow rate to actual capacity or the forecasted flow rate to estimated capacity exceeds 1.00. Operations at such a point will generally be at or near capacity, and downstream operations may be better as vehicles pass the bottleneck (as- suming that there are no additional downstream problems). The LOS F operations observed within a queue are the result of a breakdown or bottleneck at a downstream point. The designa- tion "LOS F" is used, therefore, to identify the point of the breakdown or bottleneck, as well as the operations within the queue which forms behind it. The extent of queuing, and the delays caused by queuing, are of great interest in the analysis of congested freeway segments. Chapter 6 contains a methodology for estimating the queue length and delays behind a bottleneck with known arrival and discharge rates. The procedure allows a rough quantification of the extent of congestion created by a LOS F situation. BASIC RELATIONSHIPS Maximum Service Flow Rate Per Lane Table 3-1 presents criteria for maximum service flow rate, MSF, under ideal conditions, for 70-mph, 60-mph, and 50-mph design speed elements. These values are computed from the volume -to -capacity ratios, v/c, as follows, then rounded to the nearest 50 pcphpl. MSF, = c, X (v/c), (3-1) where: MSF, = maximum service flow rate per lane for LOS i under ideal conditions, in pcphpl; (v/c), = maximum volume -to -capacity ratio associated with LOS 4 c, = capacity under ideal conditions for freeway element of design speed j; 2,000 pcphpl for 60-mph and 70- mph freeway elements, 1,900 pcphpl for 50-mph free- way elements; the value of c, is synonymous with the maximum service flow rate for LOS E in Table 3-1. Note that all values of MSF given in Table 3-1 have been rounded to the nearest 50 pcphpl. BASIC FREEWAY SEGME` T'S Illustration 3-5. Level -of -service A. Illustration 3-6. Level -of -service B.

The site is in the Russell Property which is located to the east of Route 522 approximately behind the Shenandoah Mobile Home Park. Currently the site is accessed from Laurelwood Drive, but that will not be the access for the site following development. A new access road is planned which will intersect Route 522 at the Shenandoah Mobile Home Park. The school building will be 159,198 square feet as a base bid. However, with the proposed auxilliary gym which is to be bid as an alternate, the total square footage will be 166,572 square feet. In addition to the school building, the entire site development will include: • parking lot and drop off loop • bus loop to serve 20 buses • overnight parking for approximately 26 buses • 6 lane ruruling track • 2 long jump events, 1 high jump event, 1 shot-put event, and 1 discuss event • football field (inside track) • bleachers and concession building at track / football field • 2 paved play areas (100' x 120' each) with basketball goals • 1 softball / baseball field • 1 soccer field Planning Issues The existing zoning of the parcel (and entire Russell property) is Rural Areas (RA); a school is a "by right" use within this district. The minimum lot size and setback requirements have been satisfied with the proposed site plan. This school building is being designed under the 1996 BOCA code rather than the upcoming International Building Code (IBC) which is expected to be adopted by Virginia in the future. Based upon our discussions with the planning department, it is agreed that the building height will be interpreted according to the BOCA code; by this interpretation, which measures to the midpoint of sloped roofs, our maximum building height is within the height restriction ordinance for this district. 40 VDOT Road Issues There was a preliminary road design meeting on November 25, 2002 during which owners and designers met with the Planning Department and VDOT to discuss the specifics of the proposed road. In summary, the road was determined to be a major collector that is included in the county's Comprehensive Plan. The road will be constructed according to the needs of the school at this time, with an 80' wide right-of-way for future improvements as the road is extended and widened for development. A traffic impact analysis is currently underway to determine what improvements, if any, will be necessary at the proposed intersection with Front Royal Pike. {Water and Server Issues Currently there is an existing 12" water main which runs down Front Royal Pike. Our preliminary proposal is to tee off of that 12" main, and run a new 12" main line along the new access road. An 8" water line will tap off this 12" main to serve the school's domestic and fire service needs. A line will run around the school building to provide fire hydrants at the proper spacing; this line, however, will not complete a closed -loop. The sanitary sewer will exit the building to the north where it will leave the site, crossing through the Russell property, and tapping into an existing sewer line which runs down to an existing pump station. This pump station is being analyzed to verify that it does have adequate capacity to handle the additional loading of a middle school. Storm ll'ater and Erosion Control Issues The site is situated on a relatively level "hill top" which translates into almost no offsite drainage draining through the site. This will make it reasonably easy to implement erosion control measures. The site plan includes a proposed stormwater management basin in order to address the statewide minimum storinwater standards. Fire Alarshall Issues Four fire hydrants have been located around the facility in order to provide adequate fire hose coverage on the exterior of the building. An additional fire hydrant has been placed near the building in the vicinity of the fire suppression sprinkler riser for dedicated use in pressurizing this system. A fire lane has been placed around the entire facility according to the county standards. Currently this fire lane is shown as asphalt pavement 20 feet wide; however, it is requested that the fire marshal consider acceptance of a lesser width. I Recreation Issues The preliminary site plan includes the following recreation features: • Running track - 6 lanes • Field events - 2 long jump runways, 1 high jump area, 1 shot-put cage, 1 discuss pad • Football field - inside track, with field goal uprights and scoreboard • Bleachers - 2 sets (home & visitor) at track / football field - each set seats • Concession building - At track / football field; with electric power, but no water / sewer • 2 paved play areas (100' x 120' each) - with basketball goals • 1 softball / baseball field - 200' radius n 1 soccer field - 200' x 400' N Paved walking trail (1/3 mile length) around school several fitness stations along trail / Tie gt�', ss seeding specifications shall be patterned after previous projects such as Millbrook High School. Power and Communications There is existing three-phase service running overhead along Front Royal Pike; this service would need to be extended to the school site along the new access road either overhead or underground. There is also an existing telephone service running underground along Front Royal Pike; this will need to be extended up to the site along the access road. The location of any cable service or other communication lines was not known when preparing this preliminary site plan. Gas The existing gas main, which is a 6" diameter plastic line, extends south down Front Royal Pike just past Bentley Avenue. The gas main will need to be extended approximately 3700 feet southward along Front Royal Pike, and then approximately 1800 feet along the new access road in order to get to the corner of the site. 12/20/2002 11:54 7035901277 VETTRA CO.

They will move forward with planting deciduous trees on the school site as they will be relatively dormant at planting and will have low water needs until spring. Their concern over the pine trees is that since they are evergreen and are not dormant, they will need a good bit of water at planting and immediately after. As you are aware, the ground is currently very hard and dry and not conducive to evergreen planting. We are in agreement with the Landscaping Contractor that we will have a much better success rate with the pine trees surviving if we postpone planting until the spring when they will most likely get the water that they will need. Please let us know if it is acceptable to the Planning Department to postpone the evergreen planting until the spring as recommended. Thank you, William A. Shelton, P.E.

Based on this information the following comments are offered: 1. Since the proposed addition is outside the airport support area and does not appear to exceed airspace height restrictions, FAA form 7460-1 will not be required to be filed, 2. All outdoor lighting should be the shielded type to prevent light pollution to approaching or departing aircraft. 3. rwenty-four hours prior to any/all crane operations, coordination must be made with David Poley, Winchester Airport Operations Supervisor, in order to ensure coordination with the DuNes approach center. 4. Due to the proximity of the site to the Runway, outside buming should be prohibited if possible and debris removed from the site. Should burning take place, coordination with Airport Operations Supervisor must be made twenty-four hours prior in order to allow ample time to notify Dulles approach center. Should you have any questions regarding these comments, please do not hesitate to call (540) 662- 5786. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Serena R.

Customarily, projects involving public facilities are brought before the Planning Commission prior to site plan approval. A representative of the Frederick County Schools will be present during the Planning Commission meeting. The site of the New Frederick County Middle School is located on the eastern side of Front Royal Pike (Route 522 S), south of its intersection with Papermill Road (Route 644). Access will be provided to Front Royal Pike via a new major collector road and school access road. As you probably are already aware, the site for the New Frederick County Middle School is currently being prepped for construction.

Kinizey, P.E. Oliver, Webb, Pappas & Rhudy, hie. 200 Country Club Drive, Plaza One, Building E Blacksburg, Virginia 24060 RE: Site Plan Comments - New Middle School Frederick County, Virgmia Dear Trevor: Upon review of the subject site plan, we offer the following comments: 1) You have proposed the use of multiple sediment traps for erosion and sediment control. The Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Chapter 3 Minimum Standards states that the maximum drainage area for a sediment trap is three (3) acres. Proposed trap #'s 2, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 exceed the maximum allowable area. A variance to minimum standard six (6) may be requested; however, proposed trap #'s 11, 12, 14 and 15 are expected to accominodate very large drainage areas. It will be necessary to ensure that the proposed traps are structurally stable to contain large storm events. 2) It will be necessary to submit a copy of the approved stream crossing permit issued by the Department of Environmental Quality at the time of the land disturbance permit application. 3) Refer to page C.31 Grading and Storm Drainage Notes in # 11 you indicate the long -teen maintenance of the proposed pond will be the omier's responsibility. It will be necessary to define who the owner is as well as provide a maintenance schedule for the pond. If the pond will be maintained by someone other than the school board, it will be necessary to provide a copy of the agreement between the school board and the party which will accept responsibility for the pond's maintenance. In addition, if, in the future, this pond is intended to be used as a regional pond it will be necessary to provide a stormwater analysis wluch reflects the complete build -out of the proposed drainage area. 4) Upon completion of the project, it will be necessary to provide this office with a certified as -built which reflects the final grades of the school property, drainage system, ponds, etc. for our records. 5) Because the stormwater analysis indicates that there will be a reduction in stormwater runoff for drainage areas B, C, and D, you have indicated that no detention will be necessary. However, it will be necessary to verify that the charmel located below each 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 New Middle School Comments Page 2 June 17, 2003 drainage area will be adequate to accept the concentrated stormwater discharge. It will be necessary to ensure that the post -developed stormwatcr drains off the site as sheet flow. 6) It will be necessary to evaluate the downstream channels below culverts to determine that they will be adequate to prevent erosion during stone events. If velocities exceed four (4) foot per second within any of the charnels, it will be necessary to install additional protection such as erosion matting or rip rap up to the point where the storm flow reaches an adequate channel. 7) The use of silt fence as an erosion and sediment control measure for this site is not recora vended. The detail for the silt fence shall include wire reinforcement. If used, silt fence is inadequate for inlet protection and therefore, can not be utilized. However, the optional stone combination indicated is permitted for culvert inlet protection. Provide an alternative method for drop inlet protection. There are new products available which can be used in lieu of those recommended by the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook. If any of these products are proposed for use on this site, it will be necessary to provide the literature and design details. 8) It will be necessary to provide certification from a professional engineer which indicates that the proposed stornnwater pond has been constructed in accordance Nvith the approved plans and specifications. 9) Provide the Frederick County street sign detail on the plans; a copy has been enclosed for your convenience. It will be necessary to install a street name sign unit at the intersection of Front Royal Pike and the proposed access road. Once these comments have been addressed, submit two (2) copies of the site plan for further review. Sincerely, Joe C.

This is the responsibility of the developer. • All drainage is to be carried within the right-of-way in ditch lines or gutters along the street to a pipe or drainage easement. • The contractor shall notify VDOT when work is to begin or cease for any undetermined length of time. VDOT will also require 48 hours notice for inspections. VirginiaDOT.org WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING R • • Mr. Trevor M. Kimzey, P.E. Ref: Frederick County I'ublic Schools — New Middle School (Fourth) November 18, 2003 Pan Two • The appropriate land use permits shall be obtained before any work is performed on the State's right-of-way. The permit is issued by this office and will require a minimum processing fee, surety bond coverage, and the salary & expenses of a State assigned Inspector. • Private entrances will be installed in accordance with VDOT Standard CG-11. This is the developer's responsibility. • Any entrances constructed from the referenced streets) shall meet VDOT minimum standards. This is the developer's responsibility. • Any signs to be installed will be in accordance with attachments. • I suggest any utilities and/or storm sewer placed within the proposed right-of-way be backfillcci completely with C.R. Type 21-B Stone. This will greatly reduce the possibility of any pavement settlement. • A copy of any/all RECORDED PLATS of dedication to public use (the County of Frcclerick) for drainage easements or additional right-of-way required for implementation of this proposed project should be provided for VDOT review prior to issuance of any land use Permit. • The signalization agreement between VDOT and Frederick County School Board executed on November 5, 2003 should be considered a part of this approval for construction of access roadway. We appreciate the excellent level of cooperation from your office throughout the review process to provide the best possible road improvements to serve the new school facility.

Oliver, Webb, Pappas & Rhudy, Inc. 200 Country Lane Drive Blacksburg, Virginia 24060 Re: Review Comments for New Middle School Site Plan Property Identification Number (PIN): 64-A-37 Dear Trevor: Thank you for the submission of the above -referenced site plan, which staff received on May 7, 2003. I've reviewed the site plan and there are a few concerns which need to be addressed before final site plan approval can be considered. Please review Staffs comments shown below and then prepare a revised site plan for my review. The highlighted comments are illustrated on the attached copies of the site plan. REVIEW COMMENTS: 1. Application. Staff requires a completed and signed site plan application in order to formally accept the proposed site plan. The site plan should be signed by the Frederick County School Administration. 2. Seating for Rear Sport Fields. Please show and label the proposed seating arrangement for the proposed tennis courts, softball field, and soccer field. It is logical to assume that these facilities will require some type of seating, particularly the soccer field. 3. Restrooms for Rear Sport Fields. Please provide restrooms for the rear sport fields as necessary. 4. Parking for Rear Sport Fields. The location of the proposed parking would not be particularly desirable for sporting events in the rear of the school. Thus, please consider adding parking spaces to the rear of the facility. It appears that between 28 and 32 parking spaces could easily be provided in the open area beside the bus parking and fueling area. If the number of parking spaces is a problem with this design, some of the other proposed parking could be eliminated. 5. handicap Parking. Please provide at least seven (7) handicap parking spaces. This is the required amount for 222 parking spaces. Handicap access should be provided to all areas of the site. Therefore, please ensure that handicap individuals will be able to access the rear sport facilities. A few additional sidewalks, appropriate grading, and other improvements may be necessary to achieve this. Road Name and Signage. Please provide the proposed road name for the access road and middle school road. Stop signs and street signs need to be provided and shown on the plan. 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Page 2 Mr. 1'revor M. Kimsey Review Comments for New Middle School May 13, 2003 Viewpoint of Vehicular Lanes and Bike Lane Striping. Please provide striping details of the proposed bike lane on the access road. A crosswalk and bicycle lane to the proposed middle school may also be appropriate. Staff suggest the maximum separation buffer between the vehicle lanes and bicycle lane as VDOT will allow. Adjoining Land Uses. Please provide the current land use of all adjoining parcels. Acreage. Please clarify why the disturbed area is greater than the entire site area. 10. Name of Middle School. Please provide the name of the future school, if possible at this time. 11. Entrance Spacing. Please make the necessary changes so the entrance spacing between the access road entrance at Rt. 522 and the entrance to the south is not less than what currently exists. If not legally nonconforming, the zoning ordinance would require 200 feet between these entrances. 12. Dedication and Phasing of Roads. Please provide more detailed information regarding the time of construction and dedication of the two proposed roads. These roads are intended to be constructed in full prior to the operation of the school, and dedicated to VDOT. 13. Parking Lot and Other Landscaping. Staff recommends a landscaping plan detailing all proposed trees and shrubs, particularly in the parking area. 14. Track. Are two long jump facilities necessary for a middle school? Due to the location of the discuss pad, the southern long jump pit and runway will be routinely bombarded by stray discuses. I speak from experience with throwing the discus. 15. Signage. Please provide details and the location of all proposed signage. After you have revised the site plan, please resubmit one copy so that I may verify the information contained on the plan. I will need all approved review agency comment sheets and at least five copies of the final plan for final administrative approval. Comment sheets are required from the following agencies: the Frederick County Inspections Department, the Frederick County Engineer, the Frederick County Fire Marshal, the Frederick County Sanitation Authority, the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Frederick County Health Department, the Frederick County Department of GIS, and the Frederick County Airport Authority.

I -C 1.7) for the New Middle School site plan review. I have attempted to address your previous site plan review comments, along with those from other review agencies, and I will address each of your comments herein. 1. I have completed and attached the formal Site Plan Application as you requested. 2. I have investigated the intended use and need for seating with the Frederick County Public Schools in light of your comment. The basketball courts, softball field, and PE / soccer field are intended only for use by physical education classes. Therefore, there is no need for spectator seating at these fields. 3. Frederick CountyPublie Scliools intends to make some restrooms in the school building available for use by the public during athletic events at the track and football field. All students will make use of the restrooms in the locker room as needed during their physical education classes. 4. The track and football field are the only athletic fields which will have spectators, and thus this is the only field which needs parking provisions. While the parking provisions for this field is not perhaps ideally located immediately adjacent to the fields, we have determined that this current parking layout best suits the overall site layout and parking needs of the school as a whole. Therefore, we have respectfully declined to place any parking in the area requested. 0125 dl 22.wpd i Jeremy Camp Page 2 October 1, 2003 5. The necessary handicap spaces have now been provided; ramps, signs, and pavement markings have been provided as necessary. 6. As you likely know by now, the names of the roads are as follow: Justes Drive is the name of the `New Access Road' and Rosa Drive is the name of the `Side School Road'. As for the street signs, I have left these to be handled by VDOT as on past projects. 7. The pavement striping plan for the `New Access Road', including the bike path details, has been provided on plan sheet C 1.7 as requested. I have met VDOT's bike path standards, and I have done my best to provide as much bike path room as possible within the right-of-way. 8. I have added the adjoining land uses to the plan sheet CO.1. 9. The disturbed area is greater than the site area because the `site area' refers to the school property whereas the `disturbed area' includes the stormwater management pond, all the offsite utilities, and the road work. 10. The name of the middle school is not known at this time. 11. The existing entrances along Route 522 did not have 200' spacing between them, and the new access road is in approximately the same location as the previous entrance. The specific distance from entrance to entrance, however, has been decreased slightly as you know. However, I would request that the entrance spacing requirement be waived in this instance. The existing church entrance is not easily relocated due to grades and the need to conform the entrance location to the parking lot and driveway layout of the church. The actual width of the church's lot does not even allow for pushing their entrance 200' fee from our road. Furthermore, the usage of the church entrance does not coincide with the peak traffic periods of Route 522 or the `New Access Road.' 12. You are correct, these two roads are intended to be constructed to the extent indicated on the plans prior to the operation of the school. The right-of-ways have already been prepared as ingress / egress easements and will be dedicated to VDOT as soon as the roads are satisfactory to them. 13. As with our previous school projects, the landscaping for this project is being handled via an allowance in the contract. The landscape designer obtained during construction to prepare the plan will coordinate with the Frederick County Public Schools, OWPR, and Frederick County to create a landscaping plan that meets the budget and meets the County requirements. 0125 dl 22mpd a 0 Jeremy Camp Page 3 October 1, 2003 14. There will be two (2) long j ump pits and runways; however, in light of your concerns, the discuss and shot put events have been moved out of the track infield. Frederick County Public Schools assures me that there will not be a conflict between the softball field usage and these field events. 15. The locations of the signs are shown on plan sheet C 1.1, and the details of these signs are shown on C1.3. Mope that these changes are satisfactory to the Planning Department. I am currently working through similar plan review correspondence with the other review agencies. I will inform you as soon as I obtain each of their approvals.
