Cheran, Zoning and Subdivision AdministratoAl�-Ci SUBJECT: Release Letter of Credit No. 8385-2 - $35,000.00 Master Touch Nursery — Warren T. Seymour DATE: December 16, 2008 Mr. Seymour has contacted the Planning Department (copy of letter is attached) , that the owner of Master's Touch, Mr. Mark Bishop, has informed him the business was not as he expected and that he had no choice but to close. Also Mobile Shelters, Inc. has ceased operations at the Clearbrook location. Due to these circumstances, Mr. Seym-our feels that it would be futile to proceed with the approved site plan not knowing what may be the future use of the property and is requesting release of Letter of Credit #8385-2. If there is any future development on this site, it will require anew site plan and a new monetary guaranty to be established to receive a Certificate of Occupancy ("CO"). Please release Letter of Credit #8385-2 that was issued to Frederick County for the account of Warren T. Seymour, in the amount of $35,000.00. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give me a call. Thank you. MRC/dlw Attachment cc Warren T.

I offer the following points for clarification, and note that upon satisfying these points, the Planning Department would endorse your requests to open for business in April. (1) The updated site plan, revisions dated 2/21/07, that Greenway Engineering has now submitted to the Department of Planning and Zoning. Presuming that no adverse comments are received from the review agencies, this site plan appears to be in an approvable form; (2) The Department will enable you to post a monetary guarantee (i.e. Letter of Credit - LOC), in lieu of paving the parking lot so that your business may open by April; (3) The Department will maintain this LOC for up to 12 months, essentially enabling you to defer paving the parking lot in hopes that Hopewell Lane will be accepted into the state road system, at such time access to your property will need to be re-evaluated; (4) At the end of this 12 month period, tentatively March 31, 2008, the County will determine if the parking lot paving must be implemented or if an additional 12 month deferment is warranted. An additional paving deferment will be based solely on the status of Hopewell Lane, and its progression towards acceptance into the state road system; (5) A monetary guarantee in the amount of $35,000 must be provided to the County prior to operating the business; 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Mark Bishop Re: Master's Touch Site Plan March 6, 2007 Page 2 (6) As noted on the site plan, the outdoor display area may be provided with a gravel treatment; (7) The handicapped parking space must be hard surface (asphalt paving is appropriate) prior to operating the business. It is noted that full compliance with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations will require: a paved parking space (as indicted on your site plan), proper signage and markings clearly indicating that the space is reserved for handicap persons/vehicles, as well as a smooth hard surface transition from the parking space to the office building; (8) No permit is necessary to pave the handicap parking space; and (9) The parking area pavement should be in compliance with the details offered in the site plan. Engineering confirmation that the existing gravel meets the intent of the compacted subgrade is necessary should you wish to place an SM-2A overlay over the existing gravel parking area. I am �ilable should you have additional questions. Sin eely, Eric R.

To be certain that I have not misunderstood any of the details, I am herein writing my understanding of our conversation. If I am understanding these issues correctly, please acknowledge by returning to me a copy of this letter both signed and dated. Should I have misunderstood any of the particulars, or if you feel further elaboration is needed, please indicate these in your response. Thank you. (1) The updated drawing that Greenway Eng. has now sent to zoning showing proposed paving, etc. is acceptable for the present to get us open by April of 2007. (2) After twelve months our situation is to be re-evaluated (as to the status of the new road, etc.) (3) At that time, we will then have up to twelve additional months to either proceed with paving as indicated on Greenway's site plan or, if new road has been turned over to the state, to connect to it. (4) We are to provide a letter of credit for the above mentioned work based on Greenway's cost estimate prior to your final approval. (5) The display/selling area is to be gravel. (6) Prior to approval, we are to have in place a paved handicapped parking area in front of our currently existing handicapped ramp. This space can be either black top or concrete. (7) Assuming there are no adverse comments from the other government agencies, complying with the above is sufficient for approving us for our April opening.

(1) The updated drawing that Greenway Eng. has now sent to zoning showing proposed paving, etc. is acceptable for the present to get us open by April of 2007. (2) After twelve months our situation is to be re-evaluated (as to the status of the new road, etc.) (3) At that time, we will then have up to twelve additional months to either proceed with paving as indicated on Greenway's site plan or, if new road has been turned over to the state, to connect to it. (4) We are to provide a letter of credit for the above mentioned work based on Greenway's cost estimate prior to your final approval. (5) The display/selling area is to be gravel. (6) Prior to approval, we are to have in place a paved handicapped parking area in front of our currently existing handicapped ramp. This space can be either black top or concrete. (7) Assuming there are no adverse comments from the other government agencies, complying with the above is sufficient for approving us for our April opening. Sign Date FROM • FAX NO. • Feb. 27 20a7 a9:20PM P3 Additional Questions; (1) Is the price estimate and work proposed by Greenway Eng, in the amount of $30,068.13 approved? (We wish to proceed with the letter of credit ASAP) (2) Everyone giving estimates so far for the paved handicapped area says no permit is required, is this so? (3) Eric's drawing for the proposed paving shows an 8" gravel base. As our parking area is already composed of packed gravel and as our parking area will be moved in the future when we hookup to the new road, can we blacktop the handicapped area upon the current gravel base? (4) Should weather delay the paving of our handicapped parking, can we open with a signed contract with a paving company to do this work as soon as weather permits? Thank you very much for your time and help.

I met with Mr. Bishop on Tuesday to discuss his nursery site plan. A few items warranted clarification: size of the outdoor display area for his plant/fruits; location and construction details of an ADA parking space; parking lot details (asphalt / curb and gutter); and extension of the parking area asphalt to connect with the existing asphalt cul-de-sac directly north of the site. We agreed that the asphalt/curb and gutter improvements (i.e. parking area and connection to the northern cul-de-sac) could be bonded for a 12 month period. At the end of the 12 month period, we would assess the site to determine if other improvements may be pending (Hopewell Lane a state road / new prospect for the subject parcels' primary use ) which may enable an additional 12 month bonding. For planning purposes, the Bishops should expect to be paving the parking lot prior to Spring 2008. Our discussion with the Bishops is similar to a discussion I had with Mark Smith last week. There's not necessarily a note to be placed on the site plan. It's more an understanding that once the site plan is approved, the Bishops will need to post Letter of Credit with the County as assurance that the asphalt/C&G will be completed within 12 months time...

He indicated that there was to be a note reguarding the paving of the gravel drive. Apparently this is to be paved in one years time if Hopewell Lane is not accepted into the state system. What exactly should this note say?

At this time, administrative approval cannot be granted. This site plan is denied until the issues in this letter, as well as all issues of the other review agencies, have been adequately addressed. Please review Staffs comments listed below and then prepare a revised site plan which adequately addresses each concern. Review Comments: 1) Special Limited Power of Attorney Form. Please have the property owner sign the attached Special Limited Power of Attorney Form prior to further review or approval. This form should be notarized and completed to grant the applicant (you) with authorization to represent them for this site plan. 2) Current Use. The current use of the site is listed as a nursery; however, the current use of the site and the office trailer is trailer sales. The site plan needs to indicate how much of the office is being used for the existing trailer sales business and how much will be for the retail nursery. 3) Outdoor Display Area. Label what the surface material will be for the display area (gravel). 4) Parking Lot. The original site plan for this area (412-91) called for the driving lane and parking lot to be concrete; this improvement obviously has never been implemented. The parking lot and driving lanes need to be paved. The location of parking spaces needs to be delineated on the plan as well and wheel stops need to be provided. 5) Handicap Accessibility. Indicate if the trailer and the green house are handicap accessible. 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 Department ofPxblic iVorks (Cormty Engineer), the Frederick County Fire iWarshal and the Health Department.
