THE COURTHOUSE
December 5, 2006
Subject: Johnson Development Associates, Spartanburg, SC
As Assistant County Administrator and immediate past Director of Economic Development for
Isle of Wight County, Virginia, I have had the distinct pleasure of working closely with the
Johnson Development Associates team since their first site visit to us in 2005. During the course
of my career as an economic development practitioner, I have worked with many development
companies. Of those many associations, JDA stands out head and shoulders above the rest with
a staff that consistently exhibits characteristics of professionalism, reliability, and above all else,
trustworthiness.
Many companies espouse the ability to partner. However, when you partner with a company like
JDA, you will achieve successful results. Key to the success in JDA developments are quality,
flexible product and aggressive deal structuring to secure high profile companies. Case in point is
the recent construction of a 329,000 SF speculative building in the Shirley T. Holland Commerce
Park. JDA serves as the exclusive speculative developer in this park and has committed to
commencing construction of new facilities whenever a current facility reaches 80% occupancy.
The quality construction and attractive appearance of these facilities is of high importance to us.
I am certain JDA can provide you photographs and plans for the first facility should you wish to
judge this for yourself. Although our County has invested in excess of $6 million on the site (a
350 acre fully serviced park) JDA's expenditure of $12 million on the building will be a key to
our future success. My personal preference is that our locality provide site product and the
private sector provide buildings. JDA allows us to accomplish this exceptionally.
Without question, JDA has delivered a quality project, in a timely fashion in Isle of Wight.
Economic success in any community is predicated on an ability to leverage the talents and
capacity of its partners. JDA is our partner and I recommend them to you. Should you have any
questions, feel free to contact me at 757.365.6206.

RE: Johnson Development Associates, Inc.
Dear Mr. Lawrence:
It has come to my attention that Johnson Development Associates (JDA) is considering an
investment in Frederick County, and they have asked me to describe our partnership. JDA
entered our community in 2000, promising to provide our county with industrial warehouse,
distribution, and light manufacturing facilities. They have made good on their promises and are
far exceeding our expectations, already developing over one million square feet of "Class A"
industrial buildings and redeveloping a vacant manufacturing building into a corporate
headquarters for a vitreous china distribution company they helped us recruit to the area. In
addition to these accomplishments, they currently have 855,612 square feet under construction
in Berkeley County, including a 342,926 square foot speculative facility.
JDA develops an aesthetically pleasing and highly functional industrial product of top quality,
which attracts strong companies and desirable jobs to the community. For example, we just
partnered with Johnson Development to land a build -to -suit corporate headquarters and light
assembly building for American LaFrance, which will be home to 550 employees, approximately
200 of which will be high paying white collar jobs. Johnson Developments expertise and
reputation were instrumental in landing the project in Berkeley County.
Partnering with Johnson Development has been enjoyable and lucrative for Berkeley County.
They operate with integrity, a spirit of cooperation, and a strong knowledge of their industry.
The benefits of having JDA's quality speculative product available for prospects are
immeasurable, and their professional team makes Johnson Development an excellent partner
for any community's economic development efforts.
Sincerely yours,
GA

Mr. Eric R. Lawerence
Fredrick County Planning Commission
107 North Kent Street
Winchester, VA 22601
Dear Mr. Lawerence,
It is my understanding that you are considering the construction in
Winchester Fredrick County of a 320,000 square foot speculative
building by Johnson Development Associates, Inc. Pee Dee Electricom,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pee Dee Electric Cooperative, Inc.,
owns a 700 -acre industrial park in Florence County, South Carolina.
Electricom has given Johnson Development the exclusive right to
construct speculative industrial buildings in the park.
Johnson Development recently completed a 300,000 square foot
(expandable to 1,000,000 square feet) building in our park last year, which
has sold in the past month to Johnson Controls and will create
approximately 200 jobs. They are now in the process of constructing
another building that will be 146,000 square feet expandable to 600,000
square feet. I believe that this building will essentially have the same look
as the one in Winchester.
All of us here at Pee Dee Electric along with everyone involved in
economic development with the County of Florence are thrilled with the
Johnson Development building. Its design is functional. Its construction
is of the highest quality. And the building is extremely attractive.
The building is impressive, but just as impressive is the team that built and
markets it. Dealing with Garrett Scott and Foster Chapman of Johnson
Development has been a complete pleasure. Both men are always
available, and we can depend on anything they tell us. The prospects they
have brought to the building thus far have been impressive in both number
and quality. Their manner of dealing with prospects has been completely
professional.
I wholeheartedly recommend Johnson Development to you. Your
experience with this company and its principals will, I am certain, be as
worthwhile for you as it has been for us.

Dear Mr. Lawrence:
Subject: Johnson Development Associates, Spartanburg, SC
As president and CEO of Spartanburg County Economic Development
Corporation, a 501(c)(6) public /private partnership for economic
development, I have had the distinct pleasure of working closely with the
Johnson Development Associates team since my arrival in Spartanburg,
South Carolina in 1991. During the course of my 25+ year career as an
economic development practitioner, I have worked with many development
companies. Of those many associations, JDA stands out head and shoulders
above the rest with a staff that consistently exhibits characteristics of
professionalism, reliability, and above all else, trustworthiness.
Many companies espouse the ability to partner. However, when you partner
with a company like JDA, you will achieve successful results. Key to the
success in JDA developments are quality, flexible product and aggressive
deal structuring to secure high profile companies. Case in point is the recent
location of a rebuilding/refurbishing facility that is occupied by EchoStar
Communications. The building is 316,000 SF and EchoStar will employ
around 1,500 employees. The EchoStar building is located in the Fairforest
Business Park which has around 860,000 SF of industrial buildings that
house companies such as, Tyco, Hoke, and Magna Intier, an automotive
supplier.
Without question, JDA has consistently delivered a variety of quality
projects, in a timely fashion in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Moreover, once
you form a strategic business partnership with JDA, your community will
experience all the benefits of having quality speculative product available to
meet the needs of your prospects. Economic success in any community is
predicated on its ability to leverage the talents and capacity of its partners.
JDA's unwavering reputation is firmly rooted in the Piedmont of South
Carolina, yet extends far beyond her environs
Sincerely yours.

Dear Eric:
WINSTON -SALEM BUSINESS INC.
I am writing to endorse Johnson Development Associates proposed project in Winchester
Fredrick County, Virginia. In over 25 years as an economic development professional, I have
never worked with a finer development group.
Winston -Salem Business, Inc. is a non profit community economic development organization.
Nine years ago we developed a 400 acre business park. This public /private partnership had
some early success, but after 9 -11 we slowed down like everywhere else. One of our biggest
challenges was having quality product on the market. We had plenty of developers who would
do a build -to -suit, but very few that would consider speculative development.
We were introduced to Garrett Scott of Johnson Development about two years ago. Through a
brief negotiating period, we agreed to sell them two sites in our park. They closed quickly and
immediately began the construction of a 100,000 sq /ft facility and a 300,000 sq /ft facility that
have both already leased. Throughout the process, Garrett and his team did everything they
promised and in the most cases exceeded our expectations. They have become another
marketing arm for our organization.
Our relationship with Johnson Development Associates has been so successful that they are
currently purchasing a 53 acre parcel on which they will build a 500,000 sq /ft speculative
building. This would be a tremendous addition to our market.
I can assure you that if you select Johnson Development as a development partner you will be
more than satisfied. They build a great building and will work hand in hand with your
organization to recruit quality tenants into the market.
I would be delighted to discuss our relationship with you at your convenience. Feel free to give
me a call or email me if you have any questions or need any additional information!
Best wishes for a successful project.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Leak, Jr.

RE: Seefried Rezoning
Ft. Collier Industrial Park
Frederick County, Va.
Dear Lloyd,
Thank you for our meeting today, also attended by Mr. Copp and Mr. Alexander,
where we discussed the industrial transportation impacts on area roadways and the
resulting proffer statement regarding the Seefried rezoning application.
In order of summary, the VDOT comments on this rezoning restated the
improvements outlined by the submitted TIA, namely:
1) Route 11 /Welltown Pike Intersection: turn lane improvements
2) Route 11 /Brooke Road Intersection: turn lane improvement
3) Route 7 /Ft. Collier Road: turn lane improvements
4) Brooke Road /Ft. Collier Intersection: turn lanes and signalization
5) Site Driveway A: signalization and turn lane improvements
6) Site Driveway B: right turn lane.
The points I made in the meeting were:
A) This is a Frederick County Economic Development project and the !inclusion of
all improvements mentioned will result in millions of dollars to thelprospective
industry and the project would not survive.
B) The 2010 background traffic for most of these intersections results in an "E" or
"F" condition anyway. \Vhy should one user be asked to construct all of these
improvements?
C) All sources including the projected user and the experience of this office
indicates that the TIA traffic generation for 1,000,000 SF of light industrial are
significantly overstated. This number was derived using ITE which is a
requirement of the process, however; experience with 9,000,000 SF that
Johnson Development has developed as well as PHRA /Clifford's experience
with Home Depot, Sysco, Family Dollar and other sites would suggest the actual
number to be one third or less than the 5,700 trips projected by the TIA. Of
interest, if this site were M -2 Heavy Manufacturing, the I1'E would project
about 600 trips per day.
T
In the spirit of a voluntary proffer, the applicant has agreed to offsite transportation
improvements at the Ft. Collier /Brook Road intersection including the left and right
turn lanes and the traffic signal. We have revised the proffer to reflect 100% funding
for the signal and the right turn lane westbound. The applicant also (agrees to the
right turn lane into Site Driveway "B although this will clearly be a requirement of
the entrance permit anyway.
Site Driveway "A" has been eliminated by proffer for access to this site. This
concession benefits Frederick County since the access easement across the Regional
Jail site and Animal Shelter site would be disruptive. At the time the application was
filed, this was the only legal access available. The applicant has cooperatively worked
hard on having an access easement acquired to Brooke Road and this instrument
has since been recorded (copy attached).
We appreciate the discussion about the potential for industrial access funding for
this site proposal. In order to leave this issue open for further study as we go
forward with site plan approvals, the proffer statement has been further revised to
establish a bond which allows the $200,000.00 estimated cost of the stoplight and
turn lanes at Ft. Collier /Brooke Road to be used in other locations and the
discretion of the County and VDOT.
Finally, I have discussed the possibility of a cross site driveway (private) for the
provision of truck access from the rezoned site to Park Center Drive and then to
Route 11 North. This would be valuable in limiting impacts on County roadways
including Ft. Collier, Brooke and West Brooke Roads. Since the applicant is also
seeking an ownership interest in the already zoned and undeveloped property of
World Pasta, this may be possible. Although it is not possible to proffer this at this
time, it remains an excellent recommendation that the developer will consider
during the site planning phase of the combined projects.
We would appreciate your indication of satisfaction on our approach. Please find
the revised proffer statement reflecting the changes discussed herein.

Frederick County, Virginia
RE: Seefried Industrial Rezoning
Madam Chair Wilmot Gentlemen:
There. arc 4 reasons why the subject. rezon s hould receive your L
y 1' :g y approval.
Wednesday night.
(1) The tinting is important to the industrial partners interest.
(2) The rezoning will erase 27.24 acres of Residential Zoning (mobile home)
which projects into the existing developed industrial area and is a `By Right"
use that is in conflict with the established uses.
(3) The proposed user intends a major investment which will provide balance in-
the Local economy through creation of jobs and tax base.
(4) The site is in conformance with the Comprehensive Policy Plan.
For your information, Seefried Properties, Inc :swill transfer this property, when
rezoned, to the Johnson Development Assoc., Inc. of Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Johnson is also intending to purchase the undeveloped land adjacent to World
Pasta, which is currently zoned M -1. The Johnson Group since 1987 has developed
over 9,000,000 SF of industrial buildings for use by numerous manufacturing and
distribution related industries.
Johnson i a ls o th p rin c ipal de o f tb “nll industrial Park n Isle of
Wight County, Virginia with plans for over a million square feet of speculative
industrial space by 2008. They are recommended by the Virginia Economic
Partnership.
The site will. support 3 buildings totaling 1,000,000 SF. Once the first building is
occupied, they will begin the next. Each building represents a $12,000,000
investment and once occupied will normally provide another $12,000,000 in
machinery, tools and properties. Many jobs will be created in this complex.
Johnson looked. at a number of different sites before choosing Frederick County.
streetAll of the wise planning decisions made over time by the EDC, Planning
Commission and Board of Supervisors have made this possible.
DEC 5 2006
P
Please accept the revised proffer statement which addresses certain VDOT
concerns.
We will be in contact with you before the meeting to see if you have any questions.

RE: Tasker:Woods ?Rezoning Application
Response to Preliminary Comments
Dear Candice:
NOV
1 6 2006
This correspondence is in response to your letter dated November 15, 2006,
wherein you offer comments concerning the Seefried Rezoning Application. Each
issue raised through your analysis is provided below followed by a response for
each. Also, please find attached a revised proffer statement as well as an agency
comment from the Public Works Department.
1. Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan. The site is within the
/units of the Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan. The plan shows a
portion of this property with a residential designation and the remainder with no designation.
The residential designation reflects the existin,g MH -1 zoning of the site and its proximity to
the existing Arcadia Mobile Home Park. 1 he request to M -1 for this site could be consistent
with the existing use in the area because the majority of the site is surrounded by the existing
Fort Collier Industrial Park and Interstate 81.
Agree
2. Transportation Levels of Service. The Comprehensive Policy Plan calls for Level of
Service Category C or better for proposed industrial and commercial development. This
application does not provide that level of service.
Background traffic alone drops the subject intersections below a level of service
(LOS) C. As the proposed rezoning represents less than 7% of the future
background traffic (4,500 vs. 68,000 trips), it would be unreasonable to expect
the applicant to improve all intersections to accommodate a LOS C or better.
3. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The TIA does not meet County standards. A few
examples of shortcomings include: the inclusion of a Winchester Gateway hotel at 100 .if is
unclear, the numbers provided for Russell- Glendobbin are incorrect, the figure provided for
Ru/herford Farm Industrial Park is shown as only industrial and the modeling does not
account for the maximum possible use of the property. 1 would also point out that some of the
modeled improvements have not been proffered by anyone.
"100sf' at the Winchester Gateway hotel site is a typographical error which
should read "100 rooms." The counts provided are accurate for a 100 room
hotel. While the traffic data for Rutherford Farm does not indicate a worst case
scenario for traffic generation, it is offset by the fact that the Russell
Glendobbin counts assume a higher traffic generation. As a whole, the TIA
accurately identifies background and future traffic generation.
P
4. Impact Assessment Statement Proposed Uses. The application states the
rezoning is for Flex warehouse uses and the DA is based on 1,000,000 square feet of
industrial uses. The proffer statement does not call for a specific use and unless a specific use is
proffered, the County will assume the maximum possible development (office) as per the
County's rezoning application, combined with the maximum possible floor space. At the
maximum possible use, there is the potential for 1,881,000 f of office uses. A proffer to limit
the square footage of the development to nor more than 1,000,000 f would be appropriate as
well as limiting office use on the site to accessory office only.
The proffer statement has been amended to limit development to no more than
1,000,000 square feet of floor space and, additionally has limited office use as an
accessory use only.
5. Site Access. Access to this site is proposed via scenario A or B; a definitive access point has
not been provided. The impact statement indicates that the applicant is still pursuing access B.
It is our understanding that this rezoning would not be brought forward until access point B
was obtained
The applicant is in the process of finalizing a legal agreement to obtain access to
Brooke Road. The agreement will be made available prior to any public hearing.
6. Traffic Impact Analysis. As stated previously in the TIA and by the Virginia
Department of Transportation, various transportation improvements are required to maintain
acceptable levels of service at six different locations. The revised proffers submitted only address
the westbound right -turn lane at the Route 11 Brooke Road Intersection (bullet point 2) and
the northbound right turn-lane required for site driveway B (point 6). These proffers further
state that these improvements will only be available for two years and if not utilized, the
applicant will not be responsible for the improvements. Numerous other transportation impacts
are noted in your TIA which has not been addressed (see VDOT Comments and 17A
Conclusions). All impacts that this project creates should be mitigated by this project.
The proffered transportation improvements are intended to mitigate the impact
to the intersection most directly impacted by this development, the intersection
of Brooke Road and Fort Collier Road. It's important to note that while the
TIA projects that the proposed rezoning will generate 5,700 ADT, there is an
existing by -right potential of more than 1,000 ADT.
7. Two Year Stipulation for Proffers. The two year time period indicated in the
transportation proffer is not appropriate. As proffered, if this development is not constructed
within two years of the approval of the rezoning, the applicant has no transportation
responsibilities. All transportation proffer improvements should be provided to mitigate the
traffic impacts prior to the issuance of any building permit.
The intent of the original proffer was to provide the county and /or VDOT a
two year window of time from the start of construction on site to utilize the
funding for transportation improvements at the intersection of Brooke Road
and Fort Collier. The proffer has been revised to solidify this intent and is now
triggered by a certificate of occupancy to maximize the two year time frame for
the County and VDOT.
P
8. Proffer Statement 021 and 2.2). Proffers 2.1 and 2.2 am already required by
ordinance and need to be removed from the proffers. 11 is not appropriate to proffer ordinance
requirements.
I have removed Proffers 2.1 and 2.2 from the revised proffer statement though
I feel it is important for those less familiar with the zoning ordinance know that
site lighting will not be a hindrance to adjacent property owners and that the
utilities serving the site will he located underground.
9. Agency Comments. Please provide appropriate agency comments form the following
agencies. Virginia Department of Transportation, Frederick County Department of Public
Works and the local Fire and Rescue Company. The proposed proffers have been forwarded
by staff to the Frederick County Attorny. Once attorny comments are received by the
Planning Department, a copy will be forwarded to your office. Attorney comments are required
for acceptance of the rezoning app &cation.
I have attached a comment form the Public Works Department dated
November 9, 2006.
10. Special Limited Power of Attorney.

We have completed our review of the rezoning application for the Seefried Property and offer the
following comments:
Impact Analysis Statement: Provide individual detailed discussions related to the site drainage,
environmental features (wetlands, karst geology, etc.), and solid waste disposal. The latter topic is
included in the table of contents, but was not addressed in the detailed discussion.
2. Impact Analysis Access and Transportation: We applaud the applicant's pursuit of access through
the existing pasta plant property to Brooke Road. We concur that this access represents the
preferred method of ingress /egress to accommodate truck traffic. When this point of ingress /egress
has been achieved, we recommend that the existing 50 -foot access easement across the jail property
be vacated.
3. Refer to page 2 of 5 Proffer Statement: We concur with the applicant's offer to construct a
stormwater management pond using an impervious liner to avoid groundwater impacts. We would
further recommend that a synthetic liner be used because of the potential for sinkhole development
which occurred in the adjacent pasta plant stormwater basin. The geotechnical analysis should
include geophysical methods to accurately evaluate and locate potential subsurface voids. The
analysis should be extended to the area or areas proposed for stormwater management ponds.
I can be reached at 722-8214 if you should have any questions concerning the above comments.
Our approval of the proposed rezoning will be granted upon receipt of the revised impact analysis with the
inclusion of the topics referenced in comment number one.
