Cameron Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: Preliminary Site Plan Review #2 - Stimpson/Route 277 Oil & Lube Service Site Plan # 030-96 Dear Steve: I have had an opportunity to conduct a review of the above referenced plan, resubmitted to this office on March 4, 1997. Previous concerns continue to exist, as do new concerns that have materialized following your recent site plan revisions. The following comments will need to be addressed in order to proceed with site plan approval. Please provide clarification to the following items, previously addressed in a letter from this department dated July 22, 1996: 1. Item 4: "Location, height, and specifications of existing and proposed outdoor lighting fixtures." 2. Item 9 and 10: "Calculations describing the required number of parking spaces. My initial review indicated that 48 spaces were required for the site." While the Parking and Loading Requirements summary concur with the required number of parking spaces, the location of the parking spaces has not been addressed. Note: Drive-thru and stacking lanes do not count toward the parking requirement; and "Existing Parking" indicated between the gas pumps and Route 277 presently do not exist, nor is it permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. Item 11: "Details of the disabled parking spaces, signage, and ramp.' The revised site plan has relocated the disabled parking spaces. But, signage and ramp details have not been provided. 4. Item 12: "Landscaping plan for the site. Should include calculations pertaining to required plantings, location for planting, and description of each plant proposed. Initial review indicates that 18 trees are required for the parking facility (5 on islands, 13 for perimeter)." 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 • Page 2 Stimpson - Route 277 Review #2 Site Plan #030-96 March 5, 1997 Item 13: "Location and description of required buffers and screening. Description of proposed plantings (type, minimum caliper/heightat planting)." Item 19: "More details for the proposed landscape screening (distance between plants, plant type and number). Initial review indicates that the screen should be 225 feet long (not counting existing screen). At 225 linear feet, that requires 23 deciduous trees and 45 evergreen trees." Also, to satisfy the Full Screening requirement, a 6-foot opaque fence (typically a board -on -board fence) should be installed between the parking area and the plantings. 6. Item 17: "Dimensions for what appears to be a proposed canopy at the drive-thru". 7. Item 21: "Clarify the phasing proposed. Each phase should satisfy proposed use parking requirements." My calculations indicate that 29 parking spaces will be required upon the completion of Phase I. These 29 spaces would account for the required parking for the existing use, plus that required for the oil & lube service. Please address the following comments that have resulted from the site plan revision: 8. Installation of a sidewalk along Route 277. As mentioned in Virginia Department of Transportation correspondence, a sidewalk along Route 277 is a requirement of Frederick County. Installation of the sidewalk will be required if and when the curb and gutter on Route 277 are reconstructed or modified. The revised site plan indicated that a CG-12 curb will be installed and that curb and gutter will be replaced along this portion of Route 277. Therefore, the installation of a sidewalk will also be necessary at this time. 9. All parking bays should be provided a raised 9-foot wide landscaped island. This was previously provided on the site plan. Please include the raised islands on the most recent site plan submission. In particular, the islands should be provided: A) adjacent to the car wash facility; B) between the oil & lube office and the car wash facility, separating the parking from the oil & lube stacking lanes; C) between the loading area and the oil & lube office, at the end of the parking bay; D) along the west perimeter of the oil & lube stacking lanes; E) and at the end of the proposed parking bay adjacent to the future drive-thru addition to the existing Red Apple Country Store. Islands painted on the asphalt are not acceptable. 10. Provide a detail of the proposed surface treatment. • Page 3 Stimpson - Route 277 Review #2 Site Plan #030-96 March 5, 1997 11. Address the technique that will be exercised to allow stormwater to flow from the proposed asphalt surfaces. In particular, it appears that the flow will be towards the car wash facility. How is the stormwater to flow beyond the curb and gutter? 12. Provide a statement indicating that all utilities (electric and telephone) will be buried underground. 13. Provide a statement similar to "This site plan shall expire 5 years from date of approval". Enclose you will find a copy of the site plan that I have red -inked. Please address the comments of both this letter and those found on the red -inked site plan. Please revise your site plan to address these comments, and the comments provided to you by the review agencies. My files indicate that the Inspections Department has not approved the site plan. You will also need to provide this office with an approved comment sheets from all required review agencies. Once all agency comments have been addressed, please resubmit one copy of the revised site plan to this department for final review. If the site plan satisfies all agency comments, the Planning Department included, we will request five copies of the final site plan and recommend the site plan for approval. Please contact me if I may answer any questions regarding this letter.

COPP RESIOCN, E:+G1NfER TELE ,5401 384 `.600 rAx Is::1384 5607 Ref: Red Apple Deli l'Zoutes 277 & 1085 Frederick County At our April 24, 1997 meeting you posed two questions concerning the possible signalization of the referenced intersection. The first was concerning cost and what your share (50%) would be under a signalization agreement. The total cost would be approximately $90,000.00. Therefore, your share would be $45,000.00. Secondly, you were concerned with stacking right and left turning vehicles on Route 1085 would block patrons trying to enter your property through the Route 1085 entrance. While this is certainly a valid concern, this issue can only be addressed when the signal plans are developed. If at all possible, the stop bars can be adjusted to fit field conditions. However, we cannot guarantee at this early stage that this could be done to completely satisfy your concerns. I would like to point out though if signalization at this location becomes a reality we would not want your patrons blocking south bound Route 1085 motorists. All factors will need to be considered in our final design. If you have any further questions regarding the signal or agreement process, please let me know. RBC/ rf xc: Mr. S. A.

Location of all entrances on adjoining roads within 200 feet of the proposed or existing entrances. Satisfy entrance distance requirements. 9. Calculations describing the required number of parking spaces. My initial review indicated that 48 spaces were required for the site. 10. Location and dimensions of all parking and loading spaces. Parking spaces should satisfy the 180 square foot requirement. The proposed loading space does not satisfy dimensional requirements. The proposed loading space should sit atop a concrete slab. 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Page 2 Stimpson - Route 277 Site Plan #030-96 July 22, 1996 11.

Basically, Ron's letter recommended that the developer contribute $2,000 to a fund established to provide improvements to the downstream channel. This contribution would be made in lieu of providing on -site detention. The treasurer has indicated that Frederick County has the authority to accept this contribution and has taken the necessary steps to establish a separate account. To avoid confusion, we recommend that the check be made payable to the Treasurer, Frederick County, and routed through the Public Works Department. In that manner, we can attach an explanation with the check to ensure that it is credited to the appropriate account. Please let me know if the developer still intends to make this contribution.

All of your comments are reflected on the revised plans. Your expeditious review and approval of the resubmitted plans is welcomed since we have started site construction work and winter weather is closing in. All recommended review changes have been incorporated in the new plans to meet or exceed your comments. Comment item number "4" indicates that the developer will be required to enter into a signalization agreement for five years and 50% of the design and installation costs if warranted. It is my opinion that this requirement is excessive both in terms of cost and traffic control for the scope of the proposed project. We are adding, at this time, only a quick lube and oil change service to our existing store. Requiring a traffic signal agreement at this time and at this location for a quick lube/oil change business severely impacts the economic viability of my project. I would request that you reconsider your comment for a traffic signal agreement in conjunction with our latest plan revisions for the Red Apple Country Store, understanding fully that I oppose such an agreement. I would respectfully ask that you delete the requirement for a traffic signal agreement. Sincerely, Harry Stimpson - , cc: Mr. Bob Sager Mr. C. E. Maddox, Jr., P.E.

Clifford and Associates, Inc. 200 North Cameron Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: Oil and Lube Service Addition Stimpson/Route 277 East Red Apple Country Store Frederick County, Virginia Dear Steve: We have completed our review of the subject site and only have one major concern: stormwater management. We have approved previous expansions related to the Red Apple Country Store contingent upon the installation of stormwater management concurrent with any additional development. This requirement was documented in previous review comments for the parking expansion. Consequently, we will require on -site stormwater detention designed to accommodate previous construction. As an alternative, we would consider the developer's offer to improve the downstream channel from the Red Apple Country Store to the Stephens Ridge subdivision. We cannot grant our approval of the proposed site plan until one of the above alternatives is implemented. The existing drainage ditch should be highlighted on the site plan to ensure that the proposed fill does not adversely encroach on the drainage easement. I am available to discuss the stormwater management issue if you should so desire. Sincerely, v Harvey E. Strawsnyder, Jr., P.E. Director of Public Works 107 North Dent Street • Winchester.

BOX 278 EDINBURG, VA 22824-0278 September 12, 1996 Mr. C. E. Maddox, Jr., P.E., V.P. G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc. 200 North Cameron Street Winchester, VA 22601 Dear Chuck: ex(L s� WILLIAM H. BUSHMAN, P.E. RESIDENT ENGINEER TELE (540) 984-5600 FAX (540) 984.5607 Ref: Stimpson Property Routes 277 & 1085 Frederick County As requested, we have reviewed the above referenced project's site plan dated April 9, 1996. Our comments may be found on the enclosed plans marked in red and as follows: 1. The two proposed entrances on Route 1085 will need to be designed to a minimum 30' width from face to face of gutter pan. Also the radii length should be specified. 2. The proposed curb & gutter along Route 1085 will need to be installed 20' from the center of the existing right-of-way to face of curb to allow for an ultimate 36' wide pavement width. Additionally, the existing curb & gutter may have to be adjusted to meet this offset requirement. 3. The intersection of Route 277 & 1085 will need to be striped to provide a left turn lane. We have also enclosed a copy of the plans showing the suggested method of pavement marking. Our District Paint Crew can perform this work on an account receivable basis after the entrance improvements have been completed. 4. Although signalization of the intersection of Route 277 & 1085 is not warranted at this time, the additional traffic generated by this project may justify signalization in the future. Therefore, the developer will be required to enter into a signalization agreement with the Department for a period of five years to cover 50% of the design and installation costs of a signal if warranted within the prescribed time period. 5. A standard CG-12 handicap ramp will need to be installed at the intersection of Routes 277 and 1085. Since Route 277 is classified as a major collector, Frederick County may require the installation of sidewalk along the Route 277 frontage. If so, the existing entrance on Route 277 will need to be upgraded to include handicap ramps. Additionally, the curb & gutter may need to be extended eastward to the property line. WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING Mr. C. E. Maddi0r. Ref: Stimpson Property August 12, 1996 Page 2 6. Presently drainage sheet flows across the Route 277/1085 intersection onto the property. As designed, the entrance pavement will maintain the sheet flow. You may want to consider a structure within the Route 1085 right-of-way and pipe to Structure No. 2 to eliminate the sheet flow. Additional detail including contours and top of curb elevations will need to be provided. 7. Other miscellaneous comments as marked will need to be addressed. Please revise and resubmit four copies for final approval. Should any changes be deemed necessary, please design them to meet or exceed the above recommendations. If you have any questions, please let me know. Sincerely, C�j Robert B. Childress Trans. Permits & Subdivision Specialist Supervisor RBC/rf Enclosure xc: Mr. J. B. Diamond Mr. S. A. Melnikoff Mr. H.

Cameron Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: Preliminary Site Plan Review - Stimpson - Route 277 Site Plan #030-96 Dear Steve: I have reviewed the above referenced site plan, submitted to this office on July 3, 1996. The following comments will need to be address in order to proceed with the site plan review process. Please provide: l . Name, address, and phone number of the developer. 2. Zoning of the adjoining properties. 3. Location of all proposed and existing signs. This would include proposed traffic flow/directional signs. 4. Location, height, and specifications of existing and proposed outdoor lighting fixtures. 5. Location of additional outdoor trash receptacles and enclosures. Is the existing facility adequate to handle the proposed oil & lube and carwash? 6. Use of all buildings. 7. Posted speed limits of adjacent roads. 8. Location of all entrances on adjoining roads within 200 feet of the proposed or existing entrances. Satisfy entrance distance requirements. 9. Calculations describing the required number of parking spaces. My initial review indicated that 48 spaces were required for the site. 10. Location and dimensions of all parking and loading spaces. Parking spaces should satisfy the 180 square foot requirement. The proposed loading space does not satisfy dimensional requirements. The proposed loading space should sit atop a concrete slab. 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 • • Page 2 Stimpson - Route 277 Site Plan #030-96 July 22, 1996 11. Details of the disabled parking spaces, signage, and ramp. 12. Landscape plan for the site. Should include calculations pertaining to required plantings, location for plantings, and description of each plant proposed. Initial review indicates that 18 trees are required for the parking facility (5 on islands, 13 for perimeter). 13. Location and description of required buffers and screening. Description of proposed plantings (type, minimum caliper/height at planting). 14. Curb and gutter along the perimeter of all paved surfaces. CG-6 is standard. 15. Minimum stacking requirements for the oil and tube, and the drive-thru. Minimum stacking for the oil and tube is 40 feet (2 cars). And for the drive-thru, 100 feet (5 cars). 16. Minimum drive lanes of 12 feet. This is most applicable along the southern and western edges of the proposed facility. 17. Dimensions for what appears to be a proposed canopy at the drive-tluu. 18. More information concerning the proposed car wash. As presented, there is no vehicular access or utilities for this use. Either provide the essential information or remove the use from the site plan. 19. More details for the proposed landscape screening (distance between plants, plant type and number). Initial review indicates that the screen should be 225 feet long (not counting existing screen). At 225, that requires 23 deciduous trees and 45 evergreens. Also state that deciduous trees should contain minimum calipers of 2.5 inches at planting. Four -foot heights for evergreens. 20. Dimensions of proposed sidewalks (widths and depths). 21. Clarify the phasing proposed. Each phase should satisfy proposed use parking requirements. 22. Pavement stripping and directional arrows to provide safe traffic flow. Enclose you will find a copy of the site plan that I have red -inked. Please address the comments of both this letter and those found on the red -inked site plan. Please revise your site plan to address these comments, and the comments provided to you by the review agencies. The agencies reviewing this plan should include: the Planning Department, Virginia Department of Transportation, Sanitation Authority, Inspections Department, Public Works Department, and Fire Marshall. You will also need to provide this office with an approved comment sheets from all required review agencies. Once all agency comments have been addressed, please resubmit one copy of Page 3 Stimpson - Route 277 Site Plan 4030-96 July 22, 1996 the revised site plan to this department for final review. If the site plan satisfies all agency comments, we will request five copies of the final site plan and recommend the site plan for approval.
