Within the community boundaries is a 180-acre lake and park managed by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, which is planned as a recreational fishing facility. Although current R-5 zoning would allow over 2200 homes, and contemplates considerably less in terms of amenities, this Master Plan seeks to improve on those conditions. "Wheatlands" is planned as a self-contained community, with roads, sewer and water facilities, recreation centers, shopping areas and school, serving approximately 1800 single family homes. In addition to the lakes and park lands, another 324 acres of open space will be preserved. As envisioned, with only 1800 homes over a total land area of nearly 1200 acres, "Wheatlands" is a low -density, high -quality community, sensitive to both the environment and the needs of the families who will live, play, shop and work there. SITE HISTORY The 1196-acre tract of land today known as "Wheatlands" was originally assembled in 1972 by Fred Glaize III and Jim Bowman. In 1975, the property was submitted by Glaize and Bowman to the Frederick County Planning Commission, with a request for rezoning from A 2 to R 5. The Planning Commission approved the application and forwarded it to the County Board of Supervisors, who then approved the change of zoning to R 5 on October 25, 1975. The R 5 zoning allowed more than 2200 residential units, as well as light commercial. A 152-acre lake was to fulfill part of the requirement for 35% open space. No central water or sewer facilities, nor public roads, were required. In 1981, Glaize and Bowman donated the lake and some adjacent land, a total of 180 acres, to the State's Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, for use as a public fishing facility. In 1989, The InterGate Company of Virginia entered into a contract to purchase the entire "Wheatlands" tract. On July 10th, InterGate submitted to the County a Master Plan Application for a planned unit development. InterGate plans to begin infrastructure construction at "Wheatlands" in early 1990. EXISTING CONDITIONS The topography of "Wheatlands" is primarily rolling hills, woodlands and former pastures, with occasional slopes and ravines bordering the lake. The 50-foot easement of the 152-acre lake provides some 7 miles of shoreline, which will be preserved. Stands of mature trees will also be utilized as much as possible to preserve the "wooded" nature of the residential neighborhood. In addition to the 180-acres set aside for the lake and park, another 324 acres will be preserved as open space, for a total of 504 acres. The lake is a public fishing facility, providing parking, boat rentals, boat launching and a concessions building. 11 11 EXISTING ZONING The "Wheatlands" tract is zoned R 5, a "residential recreational community district" defined by the County to permit development under a master plan, which includes open space, recreation facilities, light commercial facilities, and a variety of residential accommodations. Under the original R 5 zoning, "Wheatlands" could accommodate up to 1802 single family detached homes and up to 246 townhouses, a total of 2048 units. A total of 324 acres, or 35%, of the land is required to be open space. Privately maintained roads, septic systems and wells are permitted. Preservation of trees and scenic beauty, as well as construction of recreation facilities, is encouraged in the open space. AREA GROWTH TRENDS According to data compiled by the Lord Fairfax Planning District (LFPD) for the five -county area of the northern Shenandoah Valley, the "Wheatlands" area shows clear indications of underlying economic strength and future growth. Frederick County, along with the City of Winchester, serves as the major economic force in the region, accounting in 1988, for example, for over half the jobs and majority of the residents in the Lord Fairfax Planning District (LFPD), in addition, the relatively conservative LFPD data show Frederick County to be the fastest - growing jurisdiction in the planning district, and one in which relatively strong income levels reflect a solid base of employment. Strong regional employment growth also plays a major role in Frederick County's development patterns and economic future. This growth, combined with favorable infrastructure patterns, make the "Wheatlands" site a logical location within Frederick County to sustain additional housing growth, particularly within a carefully designed planned community. - Frederick County is projected to emerge as the fastest -growing jurisdiction in the planning district from 1989 to 2000, with a forecast population of 46,000 by the turn of the century. - Combined with a trend toward smaller average household size, these population increases mean even more substantial growth in the number of households and the need for new housing. - Frederick County has the highest median household income of all the planning district jurisdictions. Moreover, Frederick County was the only jurisdiction to show an increase in median income as a percentage of the state median from 1983 to 1986. - Together, Frederick County and the City of Winchester account for 52 percent of the employment base in the Lord Fairfax Planning District. These two jurisdic- tions also show the region's highest average weekly wage per worker. In addition to these demographic characteristics, Frederick County has sustained by far the strongest recent residential growth in the region. From 1980 to 1987, Frederick County issued over 4,000 residential building permits, some 67% higher than the second leading jurisdiction. The fastest -growing area within the region is the area near "Wheatlands", between Stephens City and Route 522, north of Route 277, in which over 1,500 building permits were issued from April 1980 through December 1988, and where recent zoning decisions have authorized several hundred additional units.

The "planned community" concept, which has won such wide acceptance across America and throughout Virginia, allows for a careful blend of well -sited homes and open spaces, all built and preserved through an orderly process approved in advance. Homebuilders allowed to build in "Wheatlands" will be chosen for their proven dedication to good design and lasting value. In addition to a broad range of quality housing and community amenities, "Wheatlands" incorporates a set of community covenants and standards which will maintain and enhance the quality of life and facilities for years to come. Recreation facilities have been designed to reflect the needs of today's families, as well as to complement the existing lake and preserved natural environment. As "Wheatlands" nears completion by the year 2000, it will demonstrate the advantages inherent in such careful planning and unhurried growth, where homeowners, shopkeepers, school children and outdoorsmen can all point with pride to the community they have watched grow to maturity. 1 lJ T. 1/J-E/f ACRE LOTS LJ-in KRE Lon ltli, E fAAlt _ PIP N i-lll LOTS \ �� y.

The traffic was assigned for the A.M. and P.M. peak hours which are the two highest hours of a residential community due to commuting traffic. this development traffic, plus the background traffic on the existing network, was then used to measure the impact of the development. The methodology employed in the study included the following procedures approved by the Virginia Department of Transportation. - Counting existing traffic in the vicinity. - Estimating future traffic with the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual (4th Edition) - Calculating capacity with the Highway Capacity Manual (1985 Edition) The "Wheatlands" plan calls for two entrances on Routes 340/522, and one on Route 277. The principle nearby intersection is Double Tollgate (the junction of Routes 522, 340 and 277). Levels of service were determined at this location as well as at the project entrances on the state road system. VDOT levels of service range from "A" (free flow condition) to "F" (forced flow condition). Level of service "D" is an acceptable urban condition, with level of "C" being desirable. The analysis shows that the Double Toll Gate intersection and all three . "Wheatlands" entrances will operate at a level of service'B" with the "Wheatlands" development traffic added. Overall, the proposed "Wheatlands" residential development can be accommodated by the existing road network without raising levels of service above comfortable rural conditions.

Critical to the ecological success of the existing regimes is the need for good quality storm water management, preservation of existing fauna and flora, and general protection of the lake itself. Mitigation of impacts to the environment will be afforded by good planning. Grass lined and vegetation buffers will be used around the lake and concentration of storm water discharges to the lake will be avoided. Site planning has respected the existing vegetation and topography. Appropriate points of connection with major highways along with adequate traffic control improvements, will allow safe and convenient access. A state-of-the-art advanced waste treatment facility will provide treatment for the approximate 1800 homes without environmental degradation. Planning for this facility has been fully approved through the various review and approval agen- cies in Virginia. Water supply will be from a central system presently serving the City of Winchester and Frederick County. The geotechnical aspects include special precautions to preclude ground water contamination due to run off. A major road loop system will have buffering on both sides and provide road access throughout the development and connections with the major roadways adjacent to the site. By shielding development roads from major thoroughfares, the general safety and health and aesthetic quality of the neighbor- hood will be assured. Town centers are provided for convenience of residents of "Wheatlands" and to eliminate unnecessary trips on major roadways for convenience related items. These centers will be developed meeting all present and applicable future regulatory requirements of Frederick County ordinances and be of a quality consistent with the development itself. A school site is provided in the event educational needs are necessary in this comer of Frederick County. 1 WHEATLANDS: THE BENEFITS As Frederick County continues its patterns of healthy growth in employment, income and population, the demand for an ever-increasing quality of life is concurrent with the need for better housing and better neighborhoods. Good communities attract good citizens. Quality residential areas attract new employers, who see not only desirable housing for their employees, but desirable customers and potential new employees as well. Quality infrastructure -- in the form of new roads, utilities, school sites and recreation, provided by the developer -- represents a net gain for County resources, and minimizes impact on existing facilities. New retail and commercial facilities, as well as new housing, represent a net gain for County tax revenues. A community of the size and quality of "Wheatlands" becomes a new focal point and magnet for County residents. In terms of roads and travel, it helps reverse traffic flows and times in some cases, shortens travel times in other cases, and integrates well with the existing highway systems. WHEATLANDS: THE TEAM The planned community of "Wheatlands" is the result of more than a year of study, planning and design by some of the nation's and the area's most -qualified professionals.
