Maddox, Jr., P.E. G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc. 200 North Cameron Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: County Position Regarding Coventry Courts Dear Chuck: As promised at our meeting yesterday, I am putting the County's position concerning the Coventry Courts Development in writing . in an effort to clarify any confusion. There is an approved Master Development Plan for the Coventry Courts project. This Preliminary MDP was approved by the Board of Supervisors on February 13, 1991, and received final approval on June 20, 1991. There was a subdivision submitted which went to the Planning Commission and received .preliminary approval, however, there was never a final subdivision plat submitted, signed, or recorded. Section 144-13 of the County's Subdivision Ordinance states, in part, that "Failure to file the final plats within this time (six months) shall make approval of the subdivision design plan null and void." It is therefore our position that the subdivision plan was never approved and is not vested. This means that current subdivision requirements, including sidewalks if the development contains lots under 15,000 square feet, would now be required. I hope this helps to clarify any uncertainty regarding this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Kris C.

Box 601 Winchester, Virginia 22601 Re: Coventry Court Dear Sir: April 12, 1990 Please be advised that I am opposed to the development of the above property adjoining my property with the construction of townhouses. Townhouses would depreciate the value of my real estate. All of the surrounding developments are proposed for single family dwellings and this property should be as well. The traffic on Greenwood Road is a major problem at the present time. The entrance to this development is 70 feet away from my property line and at the crest of a hill. A single family development would cut the traffic in half as to that of a develop- ment of townhouses. I am interested in the type of landscape screen between our adjoining properties. What type of buffer will there be? I understand that there is to be a collector road connecting to Route 37. Where will this be located? Yours truly, Kenneth G. Ashby 0 • Department of Planning County of Frederick 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia Re: Coventry Court Dear Sir: April 17, 1990 r,,14-6NNO AY 0 and Development 22601 With regard to the preliminary Master Development Plan for townhouses situated on the above, I am opposed. 1. Townhouses would not make for an attractive enviroment. The property surrounding this development is all single family dwellings and all proposed developments is single family, this property should be classified the same.

The property line is 25' from my house. 5. I understand there is to be a collector road to connect the Route 37 Bypass. Where will this connector road be located? 6. I feel the growth in Frederick County is uncontrolled, especially the Senseny Road area. This uncontrolled growth has cost the taxpayers a,fortune. Taxes have had to be raised to build more schools. Its getting to the point where volunteers cannot run the local fire departments. Paid personnel are needed. An inhanced 911 system has had to be installed in the area because of the growth. When will it stop in this area? When finished, would I be as well off living in the City of Winchester? It would be closer to my job. Yours truly, Brenda L. Vance Robert Watkins Dept. of Planning and Development 9 Court Square Winchester, Va. 22601 Dear Sir, As a resident of Greenwood Road I am opposed to the proposed development of Coventry Court sub -division which is to be located on the west side of Greenwood Road. Traffic has increased a great deal on Greenwood Road in the last year, partly as a result of Carlisle Estates sub -division. The addition of 80 townhouses would bring another 150 to 200 cars to the area, and additional traffic to what I now consider to be a heavily travelled rural road. Icy daughter now attends Senseny Road School, although she will have to change schools next year for fifth grade because Senseny Road School does not have enough room. Where will the children of these 80 new families attend school? Water and sewer, police, fire, schools, and other services will have to be provided for these people leading to an inevitable increase in local taxes. Construction of these units will also increase the amount of heavy equipment traffic, dust, and noise for the short term in what is now a fairly quiet area in Frederick County. Please reconsider this request and refuse it, or at least have it built with single-family homes rather than townhouses. Thank You, Richard Kelly vv i, Rt. 7, Box 54A 9. �1�!

I feel that the development in question will not only reduce the value of my property, but add to the traffic, which is already a big problem as far as safety is concerned. My daughter as well has expressed her opinion on the mass development. We live in what used to be a pleasent area that is now conjested, noisy, full of construction, industrial trucks with heavtj equipment, thus the destroying of our beautiful trees that added too, and graced the community. The large developments have practiclly wiped out the trees with no thought to them or the wildlife that claimed many acres of this land as their home. I think we as citezens need to think that in this day and age these things are not so easily replaced. Slowly we have seen a beautiful area turn into paved parking lots. The developers have proposed ninety townhouses on ground that we feel is not adaquet space. Again the trees have been wiped out. The kids would have no place to play except in the road or a paved parking lot that is meant for cars and is unsafe for children. Althuogh our community does not own the land around them, we feel it is time to say that we are tired of our trees being destroyed and developments jammed together with what looks like no planning or consideration for the people, wildlife or land whatsoever.

Sincerely, % Barbara Keckley Richelle Keckley, 0 w Robert Watkins Department of Planning and Development 9 Court Square Winchester, Va. Dear Sir: Rt.#7, Box 53A Winchester, Va. April 30, 1990 I am writing in opposition to Coventry Court as a townhouse development. Our home is located within 100 feet, but across the road, from this property. I am the fourth generation of my family to live in this house. Because I take pride in this area I had Reading Landscapes plant a garden on a 75' lot beside our house. To think I might have to stand at my kitchen sink and see 90 townhouses of the type that has been built in Carlisle Heights makes me heartsick. This is an emotional issue with us, as we would hope everyone concerned could see the impact this will create for this community especially with another 200 cars on our narrow road. As a life long resident of Greenwood Road I can hardly comprehend how we as taxpayers can pay enough taxes to build schools and educate the children coming out of all the townhouses in Frederick County, We would appeal to the Commission to request Mr. Longerbeam's cooperation in planning a single family subdivision. Thank you for your consideration to this matter. Yours very truly, Mr.&Mrs.Willis J.Winslow VEO C� �E 9 • Mr. Robert Watkins, Planning Director County of Frederick Department of Planning and Development 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Dear Mr. Watkins: April 30, 1990 This letter represents my opposition to the Preliminary Master Development Plan #004-90 ofCoventry Court for townhouses on 14.5240 Acres located on Route 656, Greenwood Road, in Shawnee Magisterial District. A majority of the residents on Greenwood Road are also opposed to the building of these townhouses. My concern is the road. There seems to be no definite plans to improve extremely heavy traffic conditions. It is very dangerous to exit my driveway as I have the feeling that sooner or later I an going to be involved in a serious accident. Ninety-four townhouses means an additional 188 vehicles on this road several times a day. I feel that no other Townhouse Development Plans should be approved until this traffic problem is satisfactorily resolved, especially on Route 656. A Development, Carlisle Estates, was allowed across Route 656 from my property and the community was given the impression the road would be improved and curves straightened. Instead an exit road from the sub- division was allowed to exit on one of the curves. We now have 16 town- houses complete, 8 others partially complete, and several single family dwellings completed. At present there is a lot of traffic in and out of this subdivision. Even though Route 656 has been high priority on Frederick County Road Plans for several years, absolutely nothing has been done to improve the situation. This property, 14.5240 acres, is zoned RP (Residental Performance) and I realize townhouses are allowed in RP zoning, but under present conditions I am opposed to townhouses on this property. I would not be opposed to single family detached residential housing comparable to the neighborhood. Sincerely, AA 9-; &Vk4J Betty J.

I will be graduating in May from the University of Virginia with a Master's Degree in Teaching. I plan to resume full time residency in this community. My long term plans are to be married and to build a home on land my parents currently own on Greenwood Road. f oppose this town house for several reasons. One, this community is strictly single family housing where families are happy and proud of the area in which they live. Townhouses would greatly alter this peaceful, family —oriented atmosphere. My fiance and I love this area. Secondly, more strategically, our road cannot handle the excess traffic to be generated by this development. I have several suggestions as to how to solve this problem. Make the proposed development a single family subdivision. This solution allows the new people to become assimilated into our beautiful community. Having so many people in town houses tends to alienate the surrounding neighbors. As a result, few friendships are created among the new and old community members, and the community spirit is lost. Another concession would be to reduce the number of units for the townhouses. Reduce the number from 8 units to 2. Again, this would allow the community to accept the new members more readily. The sheer numbers proposed for Coventry Court are disheartening. In conclusion, I hope thiietter is accepted for what it is meant to be: a means of compromising and making both sides in this issue satisfied. Don't let the money and increased revenues from this proposal triumph over the honest and committed intentions of our community.

My son and his family live in a house which my wife and I own on Greenwood Road. During our frequent visits with them, we cannot. help but note the heavy traffic which has developed in recent months as a result of other sub -divisions in that area. The increased traffic plus the high speeds that many drive make it unsafe for the people living in that area to go to their mailboxes located across the road from their homes. In the late afternoon hours it is unsafe to back out of the driveways and it is necessary to turn around in the front yard in order to be "headed out for a fast get -away'. In addition to the traffic problems this sub -division will necessitate the removal of several trees. I feel that we have already taken too many trees with the other developments in the area. In summary, lets consider the traffic problems and attempt to make improvements throughout the eastern section of Frederick County before we approve any more new sub -divisions. Regarding the removal of trees, we had better be thinking of protecting our underground water levels and watersheds rather than building sub -divisions for the benefit of some independent developer. Please present this letter to members of the Planning Board for their review and consideration. Sincerely, Mr.& Mrs. Harold E.

This 90 townhouse sub -division to be located on 14.5 acres will require the removal of several trees and greatly increase the traffic problems that we are now experiencing. We do not need to lose anymore trees in this area and the traffic is so heavy on Greenwood Road that I cannot back out of my driveway.

We have no overall objections to the development, however, please find our calments on the attached plans marked in red and as follows: 1. The proposed Brookland Link Roadway through the development should be labeled as such. As we have previously advised the exact design and location of the roadway should be coordinated with G. W. Clifford & Associates who are currently designing the portion of the roadway which is on the adjoining Jasbo, Inc. property. 2. A detailed plan and profile of the proposed 10" watermain extension on the Route 656 right-of-way will be required. 3. The proposed watermain under the Brookland Link Roadway should be relocated from the pavement structure. 4. The proposed entrances to the Townhouse Courts from the proposed Brookland Link Roadway and Route 656 will have to meet our minimum co>mercial entrance standards. Before making final comments, this office will require a ccrplete set of site plans, drainage calculations and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual, Fourth Edition for review. Please advise the developer prior to any work being performed on the State's right-of-way he will need to apply for the appropriate land use permits to cover said work.

The gross density proposed with 90 units on 14.6 acres would be 6.2 units per acre. The adjoining property to the west, currently referred to as Abram's Point, was recently approved for 230 single family units. A condition of that approval was that a stub street be provided for an eventual through connection to Greenwood Road. The need for such a connection is indicated in the county's Transportation Plan. The Abram's Point MDP has provided for the connection. The proposed Coventry Courts plan, however, indicates no provision for such a connection. This discrepancy is also noted as a concern of VDOT in their attached correspondence. Items to be Provided The plan does not show the required road efficiency buffer along Greenwood road. This will effect the units along the western edge of the property. Details of all buffers to be provided need to be shown on the plan. The location of environmental features, particularly steep slopes and woodland areas should be indicated. The areas to be disturbed and the location of designated open space also need to be clearly shown on the plan. It appears that the recreation areas are located within steep slopes which is noted as a concern of Parks and Rec. The width of the proposed.travelways should be indicated on the plan. Details on the proposed stormwater retention areas will need to be provided at the site plan stage.

Instead an exit road from the sub- division was allowed to exit on one of the curves. We now have 16 town- houses complete, 8 others partially complete, and several single family dwellings completed. At present there is a lot of traffic in and out of this subdivision. Even though Route 656 has been high priority on Frederick County Road Plans for several years, absolutely nothing has been done to improve the situation. This property, 14.5240 acres, is zoned RP (Residental Performance) and I realize townhouses are allowed in RP zoning, but under present conditions I am opposed to townhouses on this property. 1-would not be opposed to single family detached residential housing comparable to the neighborhood.

I will be graduating in May from the University of Virginia with a Master's Degree in Teaching. I plan to resume full time residency in this community. My long term plans are to be married and to build a home on land my parents currently own on Greenwood Road. l) oppose this town house for several reasons. One, this community is strictly single family housing where .families are happy and proud of the area in which they live. Townhouses would greatly alter this peaceful, family -oriented atmosphere. My fiance and I love this area. Secondly,,more strategically, our road cannot handle the excess traffic to be generated by this development. I have several suggestions as to how to solve this problem. Make the proposed development a single family subdivision. This solution allows the new people to become assimilated into our beautiful community. Having so many people in town houses tends to alienate the surrounding neighbors. As a result, few friendships are created among the new and old community members, and the community spirit is lost. Another concession would be to reduce the number of units for the townhouses. Reduce the number from 8 units to 2. Again, this would allow the community to accept the new members more readily. The sheer numbers proposed for Coventry Court are disheartening. In conclusion, I hope thiss etter is accepted for what it is meant to be: a means of compromising and making both sides in this issue satisfied. Don't let the money and increased revenues from this proposal triumph over the honest and committed intentions of our community.

Secretary Planning & Development Commissiion 9 Court Square Winchester, Va. 22601 Dear Mr. Watkins: I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed Coventry Sub -division planned for the west side of Greenwood Road approximately one-half mile north of the Greenwood Fire Company. My son and his family live in a house which my wife and I own on Greenwood Road. During our frequent visits with them, we cannot. help but note the heavy traffic_ which has developed in recent months as a result of other sub -divisions in that area. The increased traffic plus the high speeds that many drive make it unsafe for the people living in that area to go to their mailboxes located across the road from their homes. In the late afternoon hours it is unsafe to back out of the driveways and it is necessary to turn around in the frontyard in order to be 'headed out for a fast get -away'. In addition to the traffic problems this sub -division will necessitate the removal of several trees. I feel that we have already taker, too many trees with the other developments in the area. In summary, lets consider the traffic problems and attempt to make improvements throughout the eastern section of Frederick County before we approve any more new sub -divisions. Regarding the removal of trees, we had better be thinking of protecting our underground water levels and watersheds rather than building sub -divisions for the benefitof some independent developer. Please present this letter to members of the Planning Board for their review and consideration. Sincerely. Mr.& Mrs. Harold E. Knight • 0) 1 21 April 1990 Mr. Robert Watkins, Secretary Planning and Development Commission Winchester, Va. 22601 Dear Mr. Watkins: �r9Z3 E MAY 1990 0 REC EIVEU Route 7, Box 54 Winchester, Va. 22601 This is to advise that I am against the proposed development of the Coventry Sub -division to be located on the west side of Greenwood Road approximately one-half mile north of Senseny Road. This 90 townhouse sub --division to be located on 14.5 acres will require the removal of several trees and greatly increase the traffic problems that we are now experiencing. We do not need to lose anymore trees in this area and the traffic is so heavy on Greenwood Road that I cannot back out of my driveway. Many times I must turn around in my front yard in order to safely enter Greenwood Road. Please lets make plans for improving our traffic problems before approving any more housing in this part of Frederick County. Please present this letter to the members of the Planning Board for their review and consideration. Sincerely, Edith F. Knight s 11 January 12, 1990 Robert Watkins Planning and Development Department 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Dear Mr. Watkins, Please be advised concerning my apprehension towards the proposed townhouse project on 14 acres located on Greenwood Road.
