Once you have made the necessary changes, please submit one copy of the revised site plan so that I may verify the information contained on the plan. Review Comments: Buffer & Screening. Please show more clearly where the proposed 108 feet of opaque fence will begin and end along the eastern property line. 2. Lot Boundary Lines. Please show the location of both lots on the site plan. I have enclosed a copy of the recorded plat for Lot 63-A-107A to assist you. Terminology Correction. Please eliminate your terminology for the name of the eastern buffer to indicate that it is a landscape screen, not a full screen. 4. Wording of Notes #1. Please eliminate Number 1 under "Notes," on Page Two of the site plan and provide a statement that simply references the waivers approved by the Planning Commission on May 5, 1999. Vehicle Access and Traffic Flow. The width of the driveway to the proposed parking lot is only sufficient for one-way traffic. Please illustrate on the site plan which direction traffic will move from and to the proposed parking lot. A one-way sign or painted arrows are recommended. 107 North Kent Street - Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 • • Page 2 Mr. Michael S. Stickley, P.E.

This site is located at 3239 Valley Pike and is identified with P.I.N. 63-A-96 in the Opequon Magisterial District. Action - Recommended Approval Mr. Christopher M. Mohn, Planner II, stated that a waiver request leas been submitted by the Kernstown United Methodist Church to allow for a reduction of the required zoning district buffers that are applicable to this site. He said that this request is necessary for the church to expand its parking facility and construct a picnic shelter. He fiirthcr explained that the site under consideration is zoned M2 (Industrial General) and the existing church is a legally nonconforming use. Mr. Tim Youmans, representing the Kernstown United Methodist Church, was available to answer questions from the Commission. There were no public conuncnts. No issues of concern were raised by the Commission. Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Ours, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously approve the request by the Kernstown United Methodist Church to waive the buffer and screening requirements of the Zoning Ordinance as follows: Waive part of the 25' inactive buffer to permit installing a 12' wide asphalt, one-way driveway situated 10' from the zoning boundary. Waive part of the 25' active buffer to permit the construction of a picnic shelter/porte-cochere no closer than 27.5' from the zoning boundary. Waive the screening requirement placement, allowing for the screening to be relocated to screen the Gabler property. This would be more beneficial as the Gabler site is primarily utilized by tractor trailers, and is slated to be reconfigured as a distribution facility. The Racey property is an office and the church utilizes the parking facility. Frederick County Planning Commission Minutes of May 5, 1999 Page 361 ��� �.,0 C COUNTY of FREDERIEK Departin.-nt of Planning and Development 540/665-5651 FAX: 540/673-0632 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Eric R. Lawrence, Zoning Administrator& ---— SUBJECT: Public Meeting: Request to Waive the Buffer and Screening Requirements of the Zoning Ordinance DATE: April 20, 1999 Staff has received a request from Mr. Tim Youmans, on behalf of the Kernstown United Methodist Church, to allow for a reduction of the required zoning district buffers that are applicable to this site. This request is necessary for the church to expand its parking facility and construct a picnic shelter. The Planning Commission may waive any or all of the requirements for the zoning district buffers on a particular site plan when all uses shown on the site plan are allowed in the zoning district in which the development is occurring and in the adjoining zoning district [§ 165-37.D(5)]. The site under consideration is zoned M2 (Industrial General), and the existing church is a legally - nonconforming use (Property Identification Number 63-A-96). The site is currently adjoined by Route 11 to the west, Gabler property to the south and east (zoned M2/heavy truck traffic), and Racey property to the north (zoned B2/insurance office). The area which would be affected by the waiver request is between the Racey property (B2) and the church. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance requires the installation of a `Category B' buffer, full screen. This would establish a 25-foot inactive, and a 25-foot active buffer. Within the inactive portion, a six-foot berm or board -on -board fence and three plantings per 10 linear feet should be installed. The church requests that the Planning Commission waive the following: 1. Waive part of the 25-foot inactive buffer to permit installing a 12-foot wide asphalt, one-way driveway situated 10 feet from the zoning boundary. 2. Waive part of the 25-foot active buffer to permit the construction of a picnic shelter/porte- cochere no closer than 27.5 feet from the zoning boundary. 3. Waive the screening requirement placement, allowing for the screening to be relocated to screen the Gabler property. This would be more beneficial as the Gabler site is primarily utilized by tractor trailers, and is slated to be reconfigured as a distribution facility. The Racey property is an office, and the church utilizes the parking facility. 107 �lo�tl� Kant Str2Et > 1/l/inchester, Virginia 22601-3000 Kernstown UMC Waiver Request Page 2 April20, 1999 This waiver request is further supported by the nature of the adjoining uses. Based on zoning requirements, the church is required to buffer itself from the insurance office, but not from the tractor trailer facility. It would make more sense to protect the church from tractor trailer traffic, than to protect the insurance office from a church. Due to the unusual circumstances associated with this property and the adjoining properties, staff would support the request as discussed above. This request waiver is at the discretion of the Planning Commission. Staff is available to further discuss this request.

Kent St Winchester, Virginia 22601 SUBJECT: KERNSTOWN UNITED METHODIST CHURCH BUFFER WAIVER REQUEST 3239 VALLEY PIKE Dear Eric: On behalf of Kernstown United Methodist Church (KUMC), please accept this letter as a formal request for Planning Commission action on partial waivers of Zoning District Buffers per Section 165- 37 D.(5) of the Zoning Ordinance. These waivers are needed to permit needed expansion of the church's off-street parking lot and construction of a picnic shelter which will also function as a poite- cochere near the north narthex entrance to the church. The zone interface invoking the buffer requirement is the common boundary situated along the rear property line of the Nationwide Insurance office at 3223 Valley Pike which is zoned B-2 and the church's northern rear lawn area at 3239 Valley Pike which has been determined to be M-2. The rear area of the insurance office site is an undefined gravel parking lot with some grass and concrete. As depicted on the attached site plan prepared by Greenway Engineering, the church is requesting the following partial waiver requests: 1. Waive part of the 25-foot inactive buffer to permit installing a 12' wide asphalt one-way driveway situated 10 feet from the zone boundary. 2. Waive part of the 50-foot active buffer to permit a picnic shelter/porte-cochere no closer than 27.5 feet from the zone boundary. The Church has an agreement with the insurance office to permit parking on their site on Sundays. Also, the existing church building and parking lot are already much closer to the insurance office site along the other zone interface (south boundary of the insurance lot) as per the approved 1978 site plan. The Church would prefer to keep the picnic shelter as far away from the M-2 zoned Gabler property to the north and east where a site plan for a large warehouse/trucking facility is proposed. As you can see from the site plan, the Church will be making substantial improvements to the southern Valley Avenue entrance that is shared with Gabler. This will include safer, more attractively landscaped parking and driveway design along the public street frontage. I will be available at the Commission to explain the request and answer any questions that may come up. Thank you for your help in processing this request.
