Planning Department:
Pro 'ec� t Scope:
The proposed Commonwealth Business Center Master Development Plan is
comprised of two parcels which total 37.2 acres. This acreage will be developed for
Industrial and Commercial uses. The property is abutted by Route 11 (Valley Pike)
to the west and Interstate 81, to the east. Access to the development will be via
Commonwealth Drive which provides controlled access to Route 11. The future lot
that will front on both Route 11 and Commonwealth Drive will have one additional
entrance onto Route 11. This development is directly south of the H. P. Hood site
currently under development.
Issues:
1) Transportation
The preliminary Master Plan shows that the applicant is dedicating additional right-
of-way along Route 11 (Valley Pike). The amount provided is consistent with the
amount requested by VDOT to accommodate future improvements to this section of
Route 11 as identified in Frederick County's Primary Road Plan. In addition, the
plan limits the number of entrances along Route 11 and notes that the Interstate 81
expansion and improvement plans may possibly impact this site in the future.
2) Subdivision Street Design Requirements
With regards to the proposed cul-de-sac, the applicant is requesting a waiver of the
subdivision ordinance which requires that cul-de-sacs shall not exceed one thousand
(1,000) feet in length. The Planning Commission may waive this requirement in
cases where extreme topography or other factors make it impractical. The proposed
Commonwealth Drive is 1,285 feet in length. The Planning Commission should
determine if they believe the applicant has demonstrated that the 1,000-foot
Commonwealth Business Center, MDP #03-99
Page 3
July 8, 1999
requirement is impractical in this case. A letter from the applicant requesting this
waiver is included with your information.
3) Zoning District Buffer
A "B" Category buffer is required when developing B3-zoned property adjacent to
property that is zoned B2. The Preliminary Master Development Plan correctly
details the provision of a buffer adjacent to the commercially zoned property across
the Route 11 right-of-way
4) Environmental Features and Historical Landmarks
This site contains no identified environmental features. The Frederick County Rural
Landmarks Survey identified Site #34-984, Village Auto Sales, as being located on
this property. However, this site did not make the list of potentially significant
properties.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR 07/07/99 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Staff concludes that the overall concept of this Master Development Plan is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and the requirements of Article XVII, Master Development Plan, of the Zoning
Ordinance. Staff would ask the Planning Commission to ensure that all review agency comments
are. addressed prior to final approval of this plan. In addition, that the Planning Commission
determines whether a waiver of the cul-de-sac distance requirement is appropriate in this case.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY & ACTION FOR 07/07/99 MEETING:
Two adjoining property owners were present to speak regarding the master plan. One of the
concerns expressed was traffic congestion and that too many entrances were being proposed along
a section of road where traffic is backed up on a daily basis. It was suggested that a collector road
be constructed with a single traffic light. Another concern was that this site was a part of the
Kernstown Battlefield and many people have found artifacts on both this site and the Hood site.
The applicant's representative stated that a potential user is available for the southwest corner parcel
and subdivision plans have been completed with VDOT, Sanitation Authority, and Public Works
approvals. The applicant's only issue was the length of the cul-de-sac, and he requested a waiver
to exceed the 1,000 feet -maximum limit required by the zoning ordinance. He stated that the
•
Commonwealth Business Center, MDP #03-99
Page 4
July 8, 1999
approval of the waiver request would not increase the number of lots and would improve driveway
spacing.
The Planning Commission discussed the traffic situation here and believed that relief of the
problems would only occur after Route 37 is built and the WATS is implemented. Consideration
was also given to the adjoining Winchester L.L.C. parcel and how access will be provided. The
applicant's representative had noted that improvements to I-81 and Route 37, along with VDOT's
entrance spacing requirements, would potentially landlock this parcel. The applicant, Mr. David
Holliday, stated that it was his intention at this time to reserve sufficient right-of-way through his
development to provide an alternative access to this parcel.
The Commission believed that a waiver of the cul-de-sac distance requirement was appropriate in
this case and they unanimously recommended approval of the master plan with this waiver.
(Note: Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marker were absent from the meeting.)

Dear Kris:
Enclosed, please find photographs I took on 19 June 1999 of the historic structure at
Village Auto Sales (VDHR # 34-984). When I surveyed the building for the Rural
Landmarks Survey in 1990, I thought it was significant as one of the few buildings in the
county that uses details typical of the Shingle Style. Although it is architecturally
interesting, I do not believe it meets any of the criteria for eligibility to the National
Register of Historical Places.
The Shingle Style, which was popular in coastal New England during the last two
decades of the nineteenth century, combined elements from the Queen Anne, Colonial
Revival, and Romanesque Revival styles. It never gained the wide popularity of other
styles and is fairly uncommon in this region.
Although the building at Village Auto Sales is not a pure example of the style, its
decorative elements and overall appearance borrow from it. These features include wall
cladding of wooden shingles, a gable -end roof, an asymmetrical facade, and a protruding
bay window. When I surveyed the property in 1990, the building was abandoned and I
could not examine the interior. The photographs I recently took show the interior
contained original wooden sawn lathe with plaster, original wooden floors, and plain
window and door trim.
The building at Village Auto Sales was probably built as a dwelling and was later
converted into a relay station for a trucking company. The drivers presumably slept in
the rear one-story concrete block addition.
Please call me if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Maral S. Kalbian

RE: Demolition of Historic Structure Prior to Documentation or Issuance of Demolition Permit
Dear Dave:
The recent destruction of the house and barn on Route 11 South in Kernstown, at the former site of
Village Auto Sales, in advance of either the issuance of a demolition permit or architectural
documentation, raises a number of grave concerns. First, in failing to get approval through the County's
Building Department for demolition, there are obvious concerns regarding the safety of workers involved
in the demolition, or anyone who might have wandered onto the unsecured site while the structure
remained standing but extremely unstable. In this instance, the fact that the demolition activities
commenced prior to electrical power to the structure being shut off emphasizes the reason for concern.
Second, the structures on the site had been identified in the County's architectural survey of historic
structures as having some unique characteristics.
The development of this property for industry is a permitted use and will no doubt proceed. However,
the development cou?d have, and in fact should have, proceeded along with the appropriate architectural
investigation and documentation of the structures prior to their demolition.
The County attempts to work with the development community in an effort to expedite the review and
approval processes required prior to development. In doing so, we try to be flexible and work to
individual needs associated with particular projects. Our acceptance and review of a site plan for this
property in advance of a Master Development Plan being submitted is a case in point. There are, however;
certain standards and requirements which cannot be avoided.
As the applicant, you are ultimately responsible for the actions of those acting on your behalf. It is our
sincere hope that whatever misunderstanding may have occurred between yourself, your engineer and your
field crew that led to the destruction of these buildings without the required review and permits being
obtained, will not be repeated in the future. We trust that you will operate in good faith and make every
effort to see that County standards and requirements are not thwarted

Dear Steve:
A VDOT review of the revised master development plan dated January 30, 1997 (received
April 12, 1999) for the referenced project has been completed. Our comments are as follows and
as shown in red on the enclosed plan sheet:
We are concerned about the intended land use for the parcel under consideration. We
understand the transitional nature of the designated B-3 zoning. However, considerable
differences exist as to traffic volumes gathered through the ITE Sixth Edition when you research
business center and industrial park which you choose for the traffic analysis for pavement
design. Please provide clarification by providing to the extent possible the proposed usage of
lots within the master development plan. See letter dated 05/12/99 on Carquest for additional
data.
2. The proposed entrance should not be shown on the master development plan since approval
by VDOT has been granted on a specific site plan (Carquest).
3. Additional right-of-way along existing Route 11 right-of-way and easement for potential signal
loop maintenance should be dedicated as shown on the plan sheet. See Carquest review plans
for larger scale of right-of-way needs.
4. Signalization, including an agreement to participate in the installation costs at Commonwealth
Drive and Route 11 (Valley Pike) intersection, should be included in consideration.
It is our desire the above comments become part of the consideration on the master development
plan.
If there are any questions, please feel free to call.

A VDOT review has been completed on the subdivision plan dated April 15, 1999 for the
referenced project. Our comments are as follows and as shown in red on the plan sheets:
Sheet 1 of 6
1. The identification of the proposed use of the site property to function as business or
industrial remains uncertain. for VDOT. This causes anxiety on our. part as to proper
ITE Coding. We have calculated Code 130 (Industrial Park) and also Code 770
(Business Park).
_Code 130 (Industrial Park) Page 151, Volume 1
Average Rate 38 ac @ 63.11 = 2,398 TPD
Fitted Curve T = 47.943 (38 ac) (x) + 595.337 = 2,417 TPD
Code 770 (Business Park) Page 1178, Volume 2
Average Rate 38 ac @ 149.79 = 5,692 TPD
Fitted Curve T = 156.811 (38 ac) (x) — 199.376 = 5,759 TPD (Should this be used?)
These differences could affect the roadway needs to serve this proposed site.
Therefore, some clarification should be provided.
ghaat 9 of A
2. The proposed pavement structure cannot be confirmed until a clearer understanding
has been determined concerning proposed land use.
3. A note stating "This planned site may be adversely affected by potential 1-81 widening
plans currently under study." should be added to the appropriate location on the plans.

5. Sight distances should be shown at the approved entrance.
6. Drainage flow arrows should be shown as appropriate to indicate water flows.
The above concerns should be addressed to allay VDOT road users needs and maintain

On behalf of the owner of Commonwealth Business Center we respectfully request a variance of the subdivision code as
allowed by Chapter 144-Subdivision of land Article III General Provisions, Section 144.5. Variations in or exceptions to
the provisions of this chapter may be granted by the Board of Supervisors in cases of unusual situations...
We request variations of the Commonwealth Drive Cul-de-sac length from 1000' to 1285 ` as required by Chapter 144,
Subdivision of Land, Article V design Standards, 144-17-Streets, G. (1) Cul-de-sac.
The proposed street is designed to serve a business and industrial development not a residential subdivision. The street
has a 60' Right-of-way with a 75' radius, designed to VDOT standards for the projected traffic. The additional right-of-
way length provides additional industrial and business frontage away from the cul-de-sac or turn around area. The
owners have tried to work with adjoining properties to provide a connecting loop street but have been unsuccessful. No
additional lots will be created due to the increased length since there is no minimum lot width for B-3 lots. The
placement of fire hydrants is adequate meeting all spacing requirements. Utility locations are not adversely impacted
with the additional road length.
The additional length to the street does not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare. The street is designed to a
standard greater than the code requires and will be VDOT approved. The unique characteristics of the property that is
located between U.S. Route 11 and Interstate 81 and the development plans of adjoining property limit the design of an
access to a single cul-de-sac street. The street is of a length to provide adequate access and frontage to serve the
projected B-3 uses.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and approval of this request for the Commonwealth Business Center.
Sincerely,

RE: Preliminary Review of Commonwealth Business Center Master Development Plan
#03-99
Dear Steve:
I have had the opportunity to review the above referenced Master Development Plan. The following
comments that need to be addressed during the revision of this Master Development Plan. I have also
enclosed a marked copy of the plan for your use.
1) Please make note of the original Cooley MDP and its number in the title block.
2) Please ensure that the engineer's certificate is signed and dated prior to submission to the
Planning Commission for review.
3) Please adjust the location map to show the boundary of the Commonwealth Business Center
development along with the intersection of Routes 37 and 11, and Interstate 81.
4) Please de-emphasize the boundaries of adjoining properties to be consistent with your legend.
In addition, please show the existing lot line that splits this development and identify the existing
lots, PIN's, zoning, and uses as noted on the marked plan.
5) Please include elevations with the contours shown on the plan.
6) Please accurately show the location of the properties situated directly across the Route 11 right-
of-way. It is important to pinpoint the actual property lines in order to accurately determine the
necessity of any zoning district buffers. I do not believe that there is any residentially zoned land
in that location. However, a zoning district buffer would be required between B3 and B2 zoned
land. As always, in accommodating any zoning district buffer, the road right-of-way may be
considered when determining the type of buffer to implement. In this situation, you may have
the ability to implement a landscaped screen only within the front parking lot setback area of the
lot fronting on Route 11, the Carquest lot. Please provide a detail of the proposed screening.
7) Please adjust the note pertaining to historical structures and sites. The Frederick County Rural
Landmarks Survey identifies site 34-984 on the Winchester Quadrangle.
107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000
Commonwealth Business Center MDP #03-99
Page 2
June 11, 1999
8) Please provide a note on the plan identifying that all utilities serving the site will be located
underground. In addition, the off -site utilities including water, gas, and electric, should be
located on the final MDP.
9) Please contact Marcus Lemasters to verify the proposed road name. The approved name should
be included on the final MDP.
10) The proposed Commonwealth Drive exceeds the maximum length for cul-de-sacs which is
1,000% please revise the MDP accordingly.
11) Please provide a statement on the MDP regarding access to and from the site. With the
exception of the proposed entrance directly onto Route 11 that is to be used by the Carquest
facility, it would be appropriate to limit access from the site to Route 11 to Commonwealth
Drive only. The additional entrance should be clearly identified as for the purposes of the
Carquest lot only. While recognizing that this entrance meets Frederick County's minimum
spacing requirements, you may wish to consider separating future truck and car traffic at this
location. In addition, please ensure that the existing entrances will be eliminated with the
development of this site.
12) Please show any right-of-way dedicated for the future improvement of Route 11 on the final
MDP. In addition, notation should be included on the MDP regarding the potential for the
proposed Interstate 81 improvement plans to impact this site. This notation should be carried
through to the final subdivision plats.
The Master Development Plan needs to be revised to reflect the above comments in addition to the
comments of the other reviewing agencies.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Michael T. Ruddy

Dear Kris:
Enclosed, please find photographs I took on 19 June 1999 of the historic structure at
Village Auto Sales (VDHR # 34-984). When I surveyed. the building for the Rural
Landmarks Survey in 1990, I thought it was significant as one of the few buildings in the
county that uses details typical of the Shingle Style. Although it is architecturally
interesting, I do not believe it meets any of the criteria for eligibility to the National
Register of Historical Places.
The Shingle Style, which was popular in coastal New England during the last two
decades of the nineteenth century, combined elements from the Queen Anne, Colonial
Revival, and Romanesque Revival styles. It never gained the wide popularity of other
styles and is fairly uncommon in this region.
Although the building at Village Auto Sales is not a pure example of the style, its
decorative elements and overall appearance borrow from it. These features include wall
cladding of wooden shingles, a gable -end roof, an asymmetrical facade, and a protruding
bay window. When I surveyed the property in 1990, the building was abandoned and I
could not examine the interior. The photographs I recently took show the interior
contained original wooden sawn lathe with plaster, original wooden floors, and plain
window and door trim.
The building at Village Auto Sales was probably built as a dwelling and was later
converted into a relay station for a trucking company. The drivers presumably slept in
the rear one-story concrete block addition.
Please call me if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Maral S . Kalbian
