Mr. Oates,
Under the Transportation Proffers offered, VDOT is agreeable with Proffers A, B, C, D and F. Under Item E,
which calls for a prorata signalization agreement, the Residency would prefer a significant lump sum contribution
to Frederick County towards the Route 672/11 intersection improvements.
This office has reviewed your application submittal for the Woodside Commercial Center Rezoning dated June 13,
2006 and offers the following comments.
As part of our report to the County, we will have to note 'The Conclusion" as stated in your TIA: The intersection
of Route 11, Hopewell Road and Brucetown Road will maintain unacceptable level of service during the 2010
background and buildout conditions. While the report suggests signalization and separate east bound right turn
lanes would improve the level of service to "C" or better, due to current right -of -way restraints, these
improvements are not possible. Therefore, it will be the County's decision whether they wish to approve this
rezoning and thereby adding additional traffic to this already failing intersection.
We look forward to reviewing your comments on this initial rezoning review.

We have completed our review of the rezoning application for the Woodside Commercial Center
and offer the following comments:
Refer to the Impact Statement, Page 1, Introduction: The introduction indicates that the applicant
is seeking a change in zoning from RA to M -1. However, the rezoning application form,
paragraph 10. indicates the rezoning requested is B -3. This conflict should be resolved.
2. Under Solid Waste Disposal, Page 2, Impact Analysis: Indicate the estimated amount of solid
waste generated by 75,000 square feet of commercial development.
3. Provide a category titled geology or include a discussion about the karst environment under Soils
category, page 3. Several years ago, we observed the development of a sinkhole on the Robinson
property, lot 33 A 124B. The sinkhole was,located just off the gravel driveway in the
southwest corner of the property. Sinkhole development is typical of karst geology and may be
more prevalent when located near an existing quarry with the potential for a dramatic rise and
fall of the water table.

TRIAD Project No. 03-05-0641
April 28, 2006
Triad Engineering, Inc. (TRIAD), in general accordance with the routine wetlands
determination method as outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) Wetlands
Delineation Manual, performed an investigation to determine if jurisdictional waters of the United
States, including wetlands; are present within the confines of the above-referenced site. This
included both an off -site, office analysis and an on-site inspection -that were conducted on or about
April 18, 2005.
Although.Map Sheet 19 of the Soil Survey of Frederick County, Virginia identifies a named
stream (Thomas Run) at the site; which is not identified on the Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-
Minute Series Topographic Map (Inwood, West Virginia Virginia Quadrangle), it is TRIAD'S opinion
that there are no jurisdictional waters of the United States, including wetlands, present at the site.
There was evidence of limited surface water erosion at the site within a man -made ditch that crosses
the subject site, but the ditch was constructed in uplands and does not contain a stream bed and
banks exhibiting an Ol�WM, hydric soil indicators, or hydrophytic vegetation. Furthermore. there
is no evidence of a steam andlor wetlands within the cultivated, agricultural field down gradient
iron:: the site.
Our determination that there are no jurisdictional waters on the United States, including
wetland, is supported by the fact that Mr. Ron Stouffer of the Northern Virginia Field Office of the
Norfolk District COE performed a jurisdictional determination, dated January 27, 2006, for the 31-
Acre Clearbrook, Virginia site located on the west side of U.S. Route 11 immediately up gradient
from the site and determined that the drainage swale where Thomas Run is identified is non
jurisdictional. Noteworthy is that the identification of intermittent streams on the Soil Survey Maps
within upland drainage swales where no streams are actually present is consistent with other areas
with karst topography.
In, conclusion; TRIAD. performed, an investigation in general accordance with the routine
wetlands determination method as outlined in the 1987 COE. Wetlands. Delineation Manual to
determine if jurisdictional waters of the United States, including wetlands, are present within the
confines of the site. As a result of this process. it is our conclusion that there are no jurisdictional

waters of the United States, including wetlands, present within the confines of the site. As a result,
a jurisdictional determination by the COE is unwarranted.
This investigation and report have been prepared by TRIAD for the exclusive use of
GreyWolfe, Inc. for specific application to 8.8 -Acre Woodside Commercial Center site located along
the eastern side of U.S. Route 11 (Martinsburg Pike) in Clearbrook, Frederick County, Virginia. Our
work on this project has been carried out in accordance with reasonable and acceptable
environmental practices. No other warranty, either written or implied, is applicable to this project.
Our opinions and conclusions were based on a point in time observations; however, the
environmental parameters associated with wetlands are continually changing over time. Therefore,
site conditions are likely to vary over time from those encountered during our investigations. Due
to the fact that a wetland is an ecological transition zone, the accuracy with which it can be
delineated is limited. Also, boundaries may change over time due to continually changing conditions
in the environment, and as such, TRIAD cannot assume responsibility for their changing conditions.
For these reasons, our investigation is valid only at the time and locations at which it was performed.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide our services on this project. Should you have any
questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (301) 797 -6400.

CORPS OF ENGINEERS FIELD APPROVED JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
Date: January 27, 2006 Project Number: 05 -B0139
Applicant: Grey Wolfe Inc. Agent: Triad Engineering Inc.
Project Name: 31 -acre Clearbrook Virginia site Project Location: Frederick County
This serves as a field approved jurisdictional determination that waters of the United States (including
wetlands) are present on this property. Our basis for this determination is the application of the Corps'
1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and the positive indicators of wetland hydrology, hydric soils, and
hydrophytic vegetation. The wetland is a waters of the United States and is part of a tributary system to
interstate waters (33 CFR 328.3(a)). These waters meet the Corps' definition of waters of the United States
and are part of a tributary system to interstate waters (33 CFR 328.3(a)) and have an ordinary high water
mark (or high tide line).
x We agree with the wetland delineation as flagged and as described in the letter, report and plans
dated December 19, 2005.
We agree with the wetland delineation as flagged with the following modifications (a revised map is
required):
There are jurisdictional waters or wetlands on your property, which are contiguous with
We recommend that you have a wetland delineation performed.
x There are no jurisdictional waters or wetlands on the subject property.
All waters /wetlands on the property are isolated and will not require a Department of the Army
permit. However, a permit may be required from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.
Any discharge of dredged and/or fill material associated with mechanical land clearing, stumping or
grading (such as with an excavator, bulldozer, or root rake), or any filling in jurisdictional areas will require
a Department of the Army permit prior to such work occurring. An administrative appeals form is
enclosed. This jurisdictional determination is valid for a period of five years from the date of this letter,
unless new information warrants revision of the delineation before the expiration date. If you have any
questions, please contact the project manager listed below.
A condition of this jurisdictional determination is that you maintain the locations of the wetland delineation
flags as they are now situated on the site. Once a plan of development is formulated it would be in your
best interest to have the actual wetland boundary located by survey and superimposed on any future
proposed plan to determine whether jurisdictional wetland would be impacted by the proposed
development, and to determine whether a Department of the Army permit would be required.

Dear Mr. Oates:
The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above
referenced rezoning proposal during their meeting of July 18, 2006. The 1-IRAB reviewed
information associated with the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey Report, the
Virginia Department of Historic Resources, as well as information provided by the applicant.
The HRAB felt that the proffers associated with historic preservation and recognition were
adequate and did not request any changes to the proposed rezoning.
Thank you for the chance to comment on this application. Please call if you have any
questions or concerns.

Re: Woodside Commercial Center Proffer Statement
OCT 2 3 2006
PLEASE REPLY TO'
P. 0. Box 848
WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 22804 0848
1 have reviewed the above referenced Proffer Statement. It is my opinion that
the Proffer Statement is generally in a form to meet the requirements of the Frederick
County Zoning Ordinance and the Code of Virginia, subject to the following
comments:
1. With respect to Proffers 1 (b) and (c), these proffers, as written, would
not necessarily result in the subject road improvements being constructed prior to any
final occupancy permit. Accordingly, I would recommend that the words "or bonded"
be deleted from both of these proffers.
2. In Proffer 1(e), the words "to dedicate" should be inserted after the
word "proffers" in the first and second sentence.
3. With respect to Proffer 1(f), the Staff needs to determine whether this
is a satisfactory monetary proffer as worded. I assume that the concept here is that
Susan K. Eddy
October 23, 2006

HALL, MONAHAN, ENGLE, MAHAN MITCHELL
when a site plan is submitted for a given use on the Property, that given use, with the
square footage of the structure, would enable the "Average Vehicle Trip Ends on a
Weekday" to be determined from the Handbook, and the amount of the proffer
thereby calculated. Further, the purpose of the proffer should be modified. The word
"maintenance" should be deleted, as it is not the proper subject for a cash proffer. It
would also be preferable if the proffer provided more flexibility to the County by
providing that the proffer would be "for road improvements and right of way
acquisition in the Route 11 and Route 672 corridors in the Clear Brook area."
4. Proffer 3 should be modified to read "The Applicant hereby proffers
that the combined floor area for buildings on the site shall not exceed 75,000 square
feet."
5. The first line of Proffer 4 should be modified to read "The Applicant
hereby proffers that the following uses shall be prohibited on the property:" Further,
Staff needs to determine whether item a is clear and whether it is in conflict with
Proffer 5.
6. In Proffer 7, Staff needs to determine whether the clause "with a
residential use at the time of site plan approval" at the end of the proffer is advisable.
7. In Proffer 8(b), the last sentence should be deleted. Entrances and
fire lanes would not constitute parking lots, unless parking is intended to be permitted
in the entrances and fire lanes, which would appear to be inconsistent with the intent
of the proffer.
As previously noted I have not reviewed the substance of the proffers as to
whether the proffers are suitable and appropriate for the rezoning of this specific
property, or whether other proffers would be appropriate, as it is my understanding
that that review will be done by the staff and the Planning Commission.
