COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/ 665-5651 Fax: 540/ 665-6395 Eric R. Lawrence, AICP Director July 2, 2015 Josh Phelps Winchester Metals 195 Ebert Road Winchester, Virginia 22603 RE: Recent Building Addition Experience Dear Mr. Phelps: Thank you for meeting with Brenda Garton and me on June 29, 2015 regarding your recent experience securing site plan and building permit approvals to facilitate the construction of a building addition to your Winchester Metals facility on Ebert Road. Your letter dated June 22, 2015 certainly illustrated your frustration with the approval process, and I am hopeful that our meeting calmed some of those frustrations. The County is always looking to improve our communication, coordination, and process, and will use your experience and comments to improve our services Reflective of our discussion, as well as the discussion you had with our Building Official, John Trenary, the county will continue to: • Promote the use of our existing Technical Review Committee (TRC). o As captured from our website - "The purpose of the Technical Review Committee (TRC) is to allow all agencies involved in the review process (i.e., site plans, master development, subdivision plans, etc.) an opportunity to comment on requirements. This is to help streamline the review process once a project has been submitted to the appropriate Page 2 Letter to Josh Phelps Recent Building Addition Experience July 2, 2015 review agencies for their comments and approval. Please note that this is not a formal review process". I have attached a brochure about the TRC. o Encourage commercial property owners, their engineers and contractors, to utilize the TRC at a project's inception so that all county and property owner representatives understand the intent of a project and associated regulations. o Utilize the TRC so as to minimize design conflicts between a project's vision and the various state and local regulations. This coordinated effort could also facilitate design revisions. Often state and federal regulations (state building and fire prevention regulations, and the federal ADA regulations) may be addressed, and value engineered through coordinated planning, and the TRC offers an environment to foster the discussion. o Include the TRC opportunity on commercial building permit applications. The TRC is already referenced in various development process application packages including rezoning, subdivision, and site plan. As a result of our discussion, the TRC opportunity has been added to commercial building permit application packages. • Offer on -site preliminary evaluations of existing buildings to discuss the various state and local building regulations that will be applicable to a proposed commercial addition. • Encourage county staff to offer value engineering design suggestions that could result in improvements to a project's design and costs. For example, identify building materials that could be utilized so as to avoid additional regulatory design features such as a firewall. • Encourage county staff to offer alterative design solutions when a regulation may appear unreasonable reflective of the scale of the planned improvement. Many of the above initiatives are already in place, and have been for years. The key improvement is to better inform property owners and their consultants, to promote business development through a proactive approach of assisting and suggesting design alternatives when appropriate. Page 3 Letter to Josh Phelps Recent Building Addition Experience July 2, 2015 It is important to note that communication is vital to the success of any organization, public or private. While the county is open to communication, in commercial development settings the county generally only has an opportunity to communicate with a property owner's contractor and engineer; rarely do commercial property owners contact the county directly. So what results is a communication channel between the county and contractor/engineer, but no communication between the county and commercial property owner. We expect that a property owner and his contractor/engineer will communicate about the project, its progression, hurdles, and alternatives to improve the outcome. The county will continue to be available to listen and learn from a property owner's experiences and conversely, share with the property owner avenues for value engineering savings and benefits. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us, and assisting us improve our development review and building permit process. Sincerely, s Eric R.

C;G; ieti :T1 All, This may be a can of worms I'll wish I hadn't opened but I feel I must tell this story because the experiences I've had the past year in Frederick County need serious attention. I'm not alone. Many I've spoken with have shared my experiences but, maybe in order to not cause a stir, have just accepted this reality and moved on. I'm not willing to do that in the community I grew up in, now live and work and am raising a family. Our eompany is celebrating 40 years; business this year and I spent 1.0 ,years on the (former) Economic Development Commission helping to formulate strategies to recruit new business to this area. That is the foundation I come from in the following remarks. Please understand my intention is not to solely complain, (although that is a component), but to ask that you as the leaders of this community seek to make sure this isn't the normal course of business in Frederick County any more. I apologize for the length in advance but the full story takes some time. I will say the following in advance to prevent anyone from becoming defensive or accusing me of anything other than presenting facts. One, at no time was anyone on county staff rude, or overtly difficult to work with. Two, our contractor is an established entity with years of commercial and residential experience here and in the surrounding areas (as far as Washington, DC). In February of 2014, we made a decision to add a small office addition for some of our estimators because their workspace had become worn out, dated, and unproductive. We came up with a 640 sq ft design, 16' x 40' to add to our existing warehouse. Just a shell, metal roof and sides, a few windows and doors, concrete floor and lights. No interior walls, no plumbing, basically a glorified walk-in closet. As I write this letter 16 months later, we are just now getting footers in the ground. What happened between then and now would be the basis of a good comedy if it weren't true. We had an initial quote of $68,000 for the project. We decided that fit our budget and got approval from the bank to finance it. We were hoping to be in .before fall. When our contractor event to apply for permits, he found out we needed a site plait for this project because of it being on commercial property. We had a master development plan from some years prior so we were able to do a minor site plan to make sure we met setback requirements, etc. Add unexpected engineering fees and 3 weeks or so here, mid August. The plan was done and submitted by mid -October. On October 311 asked for status, nothing new had happened with our plan. Then, early November we found out the comments from the fire marshall's office about the building not meeting requirements for a hydrant location within 300 feet of all corners of the building. They were correct, it did not. We're about 4 miles or so from Clearbrook Fire department and I don't know in our 40 years in business if we've ever managed to need their services considering we work in concrete or metal buildings in a steel fabrication and processing business where our product is hard to catch on fire even if we tried, but in Frederick County, apparently code is code. i 195 Ebert Road, Winchester, Va 22603 ■ 540-667-9000 ■ Fax: 540-665-2979 ■ 1-800-535-2148 winchestermetals.com embedfabrication.com ,/ WINCNESTER METALS So we began investigating installing a hydrant within the guidelines of the county so we could proceed with our 640 sq foot building. We're now into mid -November. More engineering. A hydrant costs around $12,000. But it has to be located a certain way. In our case that meant adding roadway, or digging a lot of ditch, burying piping, etc. (even though propane trucks and other heavy trucks traverse that part of the property regularly, a fireman hauling a hose or a fire truck cannot) Several thousands of dollars either way. We had accepted that this was just the added costs we'd have to absorb until the FCSA got involved. After finding out that the water to the new hydrant had to come through meters which had to be in buried water vaults, we just stopped. This was December. The costs started to get so astronomical as to make us just decide the project wasn't worth it. Looking back, the added costs to us above our original estimate were closing in on $75-$90,000. More than double our initial cost estimate and we're not even sure we got all of it added in. The FCSA issues would require a separate letter entirely. We decided in January of 2015 to just reloi;ate the office to the backside of our warehouse where we had an existing fire hydrant. Horrible location for logistical and customer service reasons but, problem solved, so we thought. At some point during this new proposal, the notion that customers would be accessing this 640sq ft space came up (I honestly don't know specifically where this arose, not that we ever hid that fact) which meant our facility had to be ADA compliant. We had an existing ADA compliant bathroom in our shop but to get there meeting the ADA requirements from our office would've required the sacrifice of vital production space, so we chose to just add a bathroom in the new office. Add about $7,000 here not to mention the cost of ADA parking spaces. (I know this is a federal requirement but it just adds to the hilarity of this story). Even though we have an existing roadway around the back of our building for truck traffic, apparently our road still needed to be widened to accommodate whatever new traffic we'd be getting, average maybe 2 vehicles/day going a maximum of 10-12 miles/hr. We also found out that fire code says we'd need a fire wall between the existing building and the new office. Again, an existing metal building that houses a metal fabrication shop with concrete floors had to have a fire wall when connected to a metal sided building with a concrete floor, housing people (who I have to assume are not .flammable.) Also, we had to put.2 layers of 5/8" drywall as fire retardant below the truss and above our proposed drop ceiling (the truss being the only wood, it was under a metal roof, against a metal sided wall). Getting this engineered and explained to the satisfaction of inspections added another 3 or so weeks to our project starting. Our builder showed more patience than most should be expected to display. Of course in the fire -wall we needed an access door to our shop which needed a 3 hour rating (again because we're 4 miles from a fire department) which added another $2,000 or so. Finally, after many months, we had the pre -construction meeting on -site for our 640sq ft office with all subs (basically everyone said hello to each other for 20 minutes while the inspector and our builder looked at prints) and had permits in hand. This was toward the end of May, 2015. After the final tally, our project now will cost us about $�128,000 or $60,000 more than our planned spend.

I'm not alone. Many I've spoken with have shared my experiences but, maybe in order to not cause a stir, have just accepted this reality and moved on. I'm not willing to do that in the community I grew up in, now live and work and am raising a family. Our company is celebrating 40 years in business tlus year and I spent 10 years on the (former) Economic Development Commission helping to formulate strategies to recruit new business to this area. That is the foundation I come from in the following remarks. Please understand my intention is not to solely complain, (although that is a component), but to ask that you as the leaders of this community seek to make sure this isn't the normal' course of business in Frederick County any more. I apologize for the length in advance but the full story takes some time. I will say the following in advance to prevent anyone from becoming defensive or accusing me of anything other than presenting facts. One, at no time was anyone on county staff rude, or overtly difficult to work with. Two, our contractor is an established entity with years of commercial and residential experience here and in the, surrounding areas (as far as Washington, DC). In February of 2014, we made a decision to add a small office addition for some of f our estimators because their workspace had become worn out, dated, and unproductive. We came up with a 640 sq ft design, 16' x 40' to add to our existing warehouse. Just a shell, metal roof and sides, a few windows and doors, concrete floor and lights. No interior walls, no plumbing, basically a glorified walk-in closet. As I write this letter 16 months later, we are just now getting footers in the ground. What happened between then and now would be the basis of a good comedy if it weren't true. We had an initial quote of $68,000 for the project. We decided that fit our budget and got approval from the bank to finance it. We were hoping to be in before fall. When our contractor went to apply for permits, lie found out we r,CGded a site plan foi this project because of it being on commercial property. We had a master development plan from some years prior so we were able to do a minor site plan to make sure we met setback requirements, etc. Add unexpected engineering fees and 3 weeks or so here, mid August: - The plan was done and submitted by mid -October. On October 311 asked for status, nothing new had happened with our plan. Then, early November we found out the comments from the fire marshall's office about the building not meeting requirements for a hydrant location within 300 feet of all corners of the building.

Discussed requirements of building code. Amy learned of the wood frame construction the contractor planned to use; raised firewall requirements. Amy suggested the contractor consider a metal addition to minimize firewall requirements. Contractor indicated that the addition would be an office accessible to customers, and that parking would be established. Amy suggested that contractor contact Planning as the site plan did not account for parking. Appeared ADA requirements were being addressed by engineer. April 2, 2015. Planning (Candice Perkins) provides comment to Pennoni: "the contractor came in for their permit and they stated to Inspections that it will be for an office. Now that's fine, but it's open to the general public and they stated they wanted parking spaces back there. Parking was never discussed regarding the addition, they will need to add that to the site plan". May 14, 2015. Site plan submitted to Inspections. May 15, 2015.

For over 20 years the county has required that all exterior points on a commercial building be within 300 ft. of a fire hydrant. Initially via County Code, and then in 2012 county adopted Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code 2. Fire Marshal may, and has, provided waivers to the 300ft when circumstance deems it appropriate. Recently an asphalt plant on Ebert Road (close proximity to Winchester Metals) received the waiver. Reasoning behind the waiver was that the site already has 2 hydrants yet limited buildings. And the new use was an asphalt plant with clear access. Most importantly, FCSA requirements for the new hydrant would have cost $130,000 to bring a hydrant 70 ft. closer to meet the 300ft distance requirement. 3. Fire Marshal simply determines where hydrants need to be located to meet distance/service access requirements. FCSA establishes construction and equipment requirements to maintain adequate flows and line pressure. 4. Winchester Metal's site plan/building permit requirements are being held to the same standards as everyone else. If contractor/engineers were on top of things, they should have been aware that a site plan was needed. Ordinance clearly states that there is no commercial or industrial construction without an approved site plan. 5. There is no approved Master Plan for the Winchester Metal property. Pennoni drafted one a couple of years ago but it was never formally submitted (Planning still has it in draft form). 6. The site plan application never showed the addition as an office, it showed warehouse addition. From my understanding the customer service office conversation was brought up to inspections during an onsite inspection and that's when the ADA issue came up. The revised site plan to accommodate the parking was allowed without fee, to make the site compliant. 7. If Pennoni or the applicant had questions they could have scheduled a TRC where everyone could have talked about the project. All local engineers (Pennoni and Painter -Lewis included) have used TRCs. Property owners can also schedule TRC's, his contractor could have scheduled a TRC.

We've decided to proceed because we value the comfort of our employees and customer experience enough that we felt it was worth it. Construction began June 8, 2015. This project was never going to 195 Ebert Road, Winchester, Va 22603 ■ 540-667-9000 ■ Fax: 540-665-2979 ■ 1-800-535-2148 winchestermetals.com embedfabrication.com Ji i create/add jobs for us or add so much property value that the county was going to reap the benefits. It was just something for us to improve the quality of the environment for our staff and customers. What we instead ended up with was a project that almost WINCNMan doubled in cost, took 15 months just to move the first piece of dirt and is now a joke METALS= amongst those of us that have been involved in this from the beginning. Suggested solutions? Here's a few: • LEAN training via LFCC for staff in planning, inspections, etc to learn to spot unnecessary steps in processes and streamline it entirely • Customer service training for said staff and a reminder how a county is funded, by taxpayers and businesses who choose to exist within its borders • At the beginning of a project, there needs to be a single place where a customer (a non -developer) can go to know all the things that have to be done on their project. A 20-30 minute meeting with planning/fire/inspection in March of 2014 would've saved us a year's worth of headaches and probably thousands of dollars • Proactive rather than reactive staff. As soon as this project started hitting roadblocks, someone from staff should've taken the initiative to visit our site, find solutions to help us get this building built rather than just waiting for us to send thing in and rejecting/altering/etc. Our engineers and builders were hand delivering things to the county offices toward the end, it seems like this was a huge waste of time. Sadly, this probably seemed normal to staff so nobody even thought anything was wrong • The initial approach by staff MUST be, "how can I help you make this happen" but from the outside it feels more like "jump through my hoops or it's not going to happen." • Be the opposite of the DMV • When I hear of a large project being "fast -tracked," it makes my blood boil. What does that mean? How do I get on that list? Why wouldn't all projects be fast -tracked? As I was writing this letter, I found out that a project near us received a waiver on its requirement to have a fire hydrant. This waiver saved that project $150,000. That person fought/complained and staff visited the site and granted the waiver. Why did they have to even do that? Why not just visit the site right away? A visit to our site probably would've saved us too but that was never mentioned and, wanting to just get this thing done and not ruffle feathers, we didn't ask. I'm glad for my colleague, but we paid the I I know another project that got squashed when they found out about the fire hydrant, metered -vault issue. This guy was going to invest about $10 million in a manufacturing plant. He's looking elsewhere. I wonder how many other stories out there we don't even know about. 1 Thank you for your time reading this letter. It is one I wish I'd never had the urge d to write. If you can believe it, I've actually kept it short. I didn't go into our rezoning experience from the mid-2000's or what it took to get permits to demolish an old house. Not specifically mentioned are the weeks of non -communication from staff back to our contractor or engineers. It goes without saying that if we ran our business this way, we wouldn't exist anymore. For now you've lost a former cheerleader of this county's 195 Ebert Road, Winchester, Va 22603 ■ 540-667-9000 ■ Fax: 540-665-2979 ■ 1-800-535-2148 winchestermetals.com embedfabrication.com �f business friendliness, I hope I can someday return to those ranks.

This addition will need to beat least 25-feet from the property line. In looking at the plat (attached), you don't have much distance to build in. So, you need to determine that you will still comply with the 25-foot setback requirement after the addition is constructed; suggests that the existing building needs to be at least 42 feet from property line to accommodate the planned addition. Once you ascertain that you have adequate distance to accommodate the addition, you will need to create a minor site plan. I am not finding a site plan in my files, so you may need to start from scratch if you don't have one for your internal use. I've copied Candice Perkins should you have questions about what elements need to be included on the minor site plan. Candice manages the county's site plan process. -Eric Eric Lawrence, AICP Director, Department of Planning and Development Frederick County, Virginia 107 N.

Most importantly, I'd like to discuss the county's building construction/permitting process, as well as areas where improved communication between county and applicant would be beneficial.

If tomorrow doesn't work for your schedule, let's get together the beginning of the week — tell me a date, time, and place and I'll work to accommodate. Based on our initial meeting, if deemed appropriate, I'd be willing to arrange a meeting with the various involved county staff, and your contractor and engineer, to learn more about everyone's experience and areas that we collectively need to improve to work more efficiently together.

Permit No.: BP: 1483-2014 Date of Inspection: 06-10-15 Inspection Type: Footing Inspection Time: 8:30 AM Contractor: Todd Lodge Construction Co., Inc. Weather: Sunny, Warm (General Contractor) 740 Date of Approval: 06-10-15 REMARKS: Perimeter Continuous Wall Footings Inspection: - The perimeter, continuous wall footings for the above -referenced project were inspected on this date. The footings were excavated to the appropriate dimensions and depth in accordance with the approved building plans, as prepared by this office. The soil subgrade was solid, found to be satisfactory for use, and provided proper frost protection. The reinforcing steel and connecting dowels were in place and were resting on metal chair supports for pouring. The contractor was instructed to clean some soft soil material that had fallen into the bottom of the excavation and epoxy a couple of loose dowels to ensure that the footings were installed as designed. The loose material was removed and the dowels were properly installed by the contractor. - The perimeter, continuous wall footings were approved on this date. .*j'hLTlt - 0 �f'P cr ' .�, u TIMOTHY G. PAINTER y Uc. No. 018260 t-r8'rONAt Respectfully submitted, , P. E. Winchester Metals Site plan coorespondence history June 25, 2015 August 2014. Building permit applied for. Applicant- Lodge Construction — was advised that a minor site plan would be required for the industrial use. August 2014. In response to an inquiry from Josh Phelps, and through various exchanges via telephone and e-mail, Planning (Eric Lawrence) advised Mr. Phelps that indeed a minor site plan would be required to construct a proposed office addition along the front right of existing building. Setbacks were discussed, and concluded that while close, the addition appears to meet setback requirements. October 10, 2014. Site plan submitted to Inspections for review. October 29, 2014. Site plan approved by Inspections. October 2014. Site plan submitted to Fire Marshal for review October 2014. Fire Marshal's Office (Ken Scott) issued comment; fire hydrant exceeded 300ft distance from addition October 14, 2014. Site Plan submitted to Planning for review. October 20, 2015. Planning (Candice Perkins) provides site plan review comment to Pennoni. "I have reviewed the plan and don't have any comments. I need approval comments from Inspections and the Fire Marshal prior to approval of the plan." January 21, 2015. Applicant's engineer (Pennoni) revises site plan to relocate building to rear of building, adjacent to existing fire hydrant. January 26, 2015. Site plan submitted to Fire Marshal's Office (Ken Scott). January 28, 2015. Fire Marshal's Office (Ken Scott) approved site plan. February 23, 2015. County approves 1st site plan (SP#38-14). Enables a building addition on rear of building. No parking nor fire hydrant relocation provided. April 2015. Inspections (Amy Feltner) met on site with contractor. Discussed requirements of building code. Amy learned of the wood frame construction the contractor planned to use; raised firewall requirements. Amy suggested the contractor consider a metal addition to minimize firewall requirements. Contractor indicated that the addition would be an office accessible to customers, and that parking would be established. Amy suggested that contractor contact Planning as the site plan did not account for parking. Appeared ADA requirements were being addressed by engineer. April 2, 2015. Planning (Candice Perkins) provides comment to Pennoni: "the contractor came in for their permit and they stated to Inspections that it will be for an office. Now that's fine, but it's open to the general public and they stated they wanted parking spaces back there. Parking was never discussed regarding the addition, they will need to add that to the site plan". May 14, 2015. Site plan submitted to Inspections. May 15, 2015. Inspections provided comments on site plan. May 15, 2015. Site plan submitted to Fire Marshal. May 21, 2015. Fire Marshal's Office (Ken Scott) approved site plan. May 27, 2015. Site Plan submitted to Inspections for approval. May 27, 2015. Inspections (John Ternary) approved site plan May 27, 2015. Building permit ready for issuance. May 28, 2015. Building permit (1483-2014) issued; picked up by Brian Woodals (Lodge Construction) Revised minor site plan submitted for approval May 27, 2015 Revised minor Site Plan (SP#38-14) approved June 3, 2015 (included parking) Assembled with assistance from: Candice Perkins, Planning Department Amy Feltner, Building Inspections John Trenary, Building Official Jay Bauserman, Fire Marshal Ken Scott, Fire Marshal's Office Couple of points : 1. For over 20 years the county has required that all exterior points on a commercial building be within 300 ft. of a fire hydrant. Initially via County Code, and then in 2012 county adopted Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code 2. Fire Marshal may, and has, provided waivers to the 300ft when circumstance deems it appropriate. Recently an asphalt plant on Ebert Road (close proximity to Winchester Metals) received the waiver. Reasoning behind the waiver was that the site already has 2 hydrants yet limited buildings. And the new use was an asphalt plant with clear access. Most importantly, FCSA requirements for the new hydrant would have cost $130,000 to bring a hydrant 70 ft. closer to meet the 300ft distance requirement. 3. Fire Marshal simply determines where hydrants need to be located to meet distance/service access requirements. FCSA establishes construction and equipment requirements to maintain adequate flows and line pressure. 4. Winchester Metal's site plan/building permit requirements are being held to the same standards as everyone else. If contractor/engineers were on top of things, they should have been aware that a site plan was needed. Ordinance clearly states that there is no commercial or industrial construction without an approved site plan. 5. There is no approved Master Plan for the Winchester Metal property. Pennoni drafted one a couple of years ago but it was never formally submitted (Planning still has it in draft form). 6. The site plan application never showed the addition as an office, it showed warehouse addition. From my understanding the customer service office conversation was brought up to inspections during an onsite inspection and that's when the ADA issue came up. The revised site plan to accommodate the parking was allowed without fee, to make the site compliant. 7. If Pennoni or the applicant had questions they could have scheduled a TRC where everyone could have talked about the project. All local engineers (Pennoni and Painter -Lewis included) have used TRCs. Property owners can also schedule TRC's, his contractor could have scheduled a TRC.
