PUBLIC HEARINGS
I
Rezoning #01 -01 of Southern Hills (continued from January 3, 2001), submitted by G. W. Clifford &
Associates, Inc., to rezone a 105 -acre tract of land from RA (Rural Areas) to RP (Residential
Performance) to establish 250 single - family residential lots. This property is located south of Stephens
City, east of Interstate 81; 0.8 miles south of Route 277 (Fairfax Pike) on the east side of Town Run Lane
(Rt. 1012), and is identified with P.I.N. 85 -A -138 in the Opequon Magisterial District.
Action - Tabled for 30 Days
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Planning Director, read a letter from the Zoning Administrator for the
Town of Stephens City, who was forwarding several concerns raised by Town Council members and Planning
Commission members regarding the impacts that additional traffic would have on the Town of Stephens City
and the surrounding area. Mr. Wyatt said that since the continuance from the January 3, 2001 meeting, new
information has been provided by the applicant to the staff, which includes a revised review agency comment
from the Stephens City Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company, a revised proffer statement, and a memorandum
r�

of responses to the nine issues that were identified during the previous staff report. Mr. Wyatt proceeded to
® review each issue and identified the staff comment associated with it. After his review, Mr. Wyatt
recommended the Commission determine if the revised information and proffer statement adequately mitigates
the issues identified by the staff when forwarding a recommendation to the Board.
At this point, members of the Commission had numerous questions for staff regarding the
status of the Rt. 277 restructuring by VDOT, whether changes to Aylor Road would be made prior to the Rt.
277 upgrades, the Level of Service (LOS) at Stickley and Rt. 277, the status of a traffic signal at Rt. 277 and
Stickley Drive, and VDOT's comments about the inadequacy of the structural section at Town Run.
Mr. Charles W. Maddox with Gilbert W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., the design engineers for
the project, discussed the following issues with the Commission: VDOT's adopted road plan for the area; how
their proposal for Stickley Drive conforms with VDOT's adopted road plan; the timing of improvements; the
integrally - related issue of Warrior Drive; and the Stephens City impacts and how this plan reflects their
Comprehensive and Transportation Planning efforts.
Commission members believed the timing of the development needed to be'in synchronization
with what VDOT is going to do and asked the developer if it was possible for him to control the timing of the
development.
Mr. David Holliday of Dave Holliday Construction, Inc., the applicant/ developer and contract
holder of the Carbaugh Estate/ Town Run Lane, spoke with the Commission about the various issues that were
brought up for discussion regarding his proposed development. Mr. Holliday gave his reasons for proffering
the amount of money he did for fire and rescue services. Regarding the lagoon adjacent to his property, it was
® his understanding that the Town of Stephens City is under a consent order to close it. Regarding the road issue,
Mr. Holliday said he was now completing the final units of the Stephens Ridge Town House Project and can
certify that the bottom road of the Stephens Ridge Project will connect to Ridgefield Avenue and will be
completed within 90 days; he told the Commission that a bond was posted with the County, five years ago for
the Warrior Drive connection with Westmoreland and two years ago, he gave a $40,000 lot to the County for
this connection. He commented that he built 288 houses in Fredericktowne, which could access Warrior Drive,
if it were there; he requested that it be constructed because it would get traffic off Aylor Road and the Town
Run stop light. Mr. Holliday said that he was only half complete with Fredericktowne Estates when discussions
began on Warrior Drive. Mr. Holliday remarked that very little traffic would be put on thatlroad over the next
two years. Mr. Holliday said that he would be glad to contribute toward it, but was not going to pay for the
whole road. He pointed out that he has to build Stickley Drive and make the Town Run lane improvements
on day number one.

Chairman DeHaven called for public comments and the following person came forward to
Ms. Sandra Rittenour, a neighbor of the proposed subdivision, residing on a private road that
enters onto Town nun Lane, said she spoke at the previous public hearing, but wanted to speak again to
express her concerns about the traffic. She was especially concerned about the traffic on Town Run Lane and
Stickley Drive and believed the current Level of Service (LOS) was inadequate; she believed an increase in
traffic would have a major impact on safety. Ms. Rittenour talked about the inadequacy of the traffic signals
on Town Run Lane and the problems created by not having a left -hand turn signal or lines painted on the road.

The Planning Commission's primary concern was the traffic issue, especially at Stickley Drive
• and Town Run Lane. Although they understood this particular developer did not create the existing problems
and should not be held totally responsible for mitigating those problems, they were hesitant to move forward
without having a definite commitment from the developer to participate in that mitigation, possibly during the
master development plan stage.
Members of the Commission pointed out that if egress from the proposed development is
directed up Town Rim Lane and the majority of traffic is coming down from Aylor Road, it will be difficult
to make a left -hand turn because the intersection lacked a left -turn lane or signal. They believed some change
in the signalization at that intersection by VDOT was necessary. The Planning Commissioners requested that
the applicant come back with a Warrant Analysis for a traffic signal and a Level of Service (LOS) Analysis
in order to help mitigate the increased traffic impact.
Upon motion made by Mr. Ours and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby tablelfor 30 days, by a
majority vote, Rezoning Application #01 -0 1 of Southern Hills, submitted by G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc.,
to rezone a 105 -acre tract of land from RA (Rural Areas) to RP (Residential Performance), to establish 250
single - family residential lots, and does hereby grant the applicant's request for a waiver of the time restraints,
in order to give the applicant the opportunity to gather the necessary information for the Traffic Signal Warrant
Analysis and the Level of Service (LOS) Analysis.
The vote on this tabling was as follows:
YES (TO TABLE) Unger, Morris, Light, Marker, DeHaven, Thomas, Ours, Kriz, Fisher
NO: Miller
Rezoning Application 402 -01 of Irongate, Inc., submitted by Painter- Lewis, P.L.C. to rezone a 14.43 -acre
portion of a 48.26 -acre tract from RA (Rural Areas) to M1 (Light Industrial) for a fabrication shop and
office, which is the current use. This property is located on the south side of Fairfax Pike (Rt. 277),
approximately 1 1/4 miles west of the Clarke County line and is identified with P.I.N. 87 -A -12 in the
Opequon Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Proffers
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Planning Director, read the background information and review agency
comments and talked about the site history, location, site suitability, potential impacts, and the proffer
statement. He noted that the applicant's proffer statement attempts to mitigate impacts to adjoining properties
and community services by offering to prohibit several land uses that would normally be permitted in the MI
District and by providing a monetary contribution for fire and rescue services. In summary, Mr. Wyatt stated
that the staff believed the following issues needed to be satisfactorily addressed: 1) demonstrate the proposed
approach to adequately address the sewage disposal system concerns by the Health Department; 2) revise the
•

proffered uses to reflect what will be allowed on -site, instead of what uses will be prohibited; 3) placement of
® limitations on the design standards allowed in the M I District due to the proximity of existing residential land
uses; 4) establish a generalized development plan which will identify areas of development and areas of
preserved environmental features; and 5) establish the required "C" category buffer early in the site
development process.
Mr. Wyatt next summarized a letter received by the staff from Liberty Baptist Church stating
that they have no problems or concerns with the rezoning request and asked the Planning Commission to grant
the request.
It was pointed out that the road from Rt. 277 to the Ml area is a private road and the issue
of an industrial zoning located on a private road was raised by the Commission. Mr. Wyatt stated that
normally, an M1 use would require state road access; however, in this particular situation, there is an
expansion opportunity for the existing business and the lot is considered legally non - conforming. He added
that the road would be required to be built to state standards should a subdivision of the parcel be desired.
Mr. John C. Lewis of Painter- Lewis, P.L.C., the design firm representing0e applicant, Mr.
Dennis Ridings of Irongate, Inc., began by addressing the five issues raised by the staff as follows: 1) regarding
sewage disposal concerns, most of the employees work off -site and the applicant believes the existing system
would be adequate; if not, additional drainfreld could be found or an on -site system could be installed; 2)
regarding the proffered uses, the applicant would consider proffering out additional uses; 3) regarding
limitations on design standards, the applicant believed the standards within the zoning ordinance were adequate
because a tremendous amount of natural buffering already exists between existing residential uses, which are
approximately 1,000 feet away; 4) he presented the details of their generalized development plan; and 5)
® regarding early establishment of the buffer, the applicant pointed out the area where thelLeland Cypresses
would be planted as soon as possible.
Commission members inquired about the type and volume of traffic entering and leaving the
site at build -out. Mr. Lewis estimated there will be approximately three or four semi tractor and trailer trips
per day and, because 75% of the 40 employees will work off -site, the employee traffic will be light.
Commission members inquired if there will be a paint booth or liquid metals and what type
of painting would be done. Mr. Dennis Ridings, the property owner, said that painting is conducted outside
and they are under total compliance with EPA regulations. Mr. Ridings explained the painting process and
types of paints usui. In response to other questions by the Commission, Mr. Ridings said that he has operated
this same business at this location since 1984 and has never received any complaints from neighbors; when he
originally received the M I Zoning by the County, the only requirement was for a commercial entrance; and all
of the screening on the property has been done on his own, and was not required.
There were no citizen comments.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Ours,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Rezoning Application #02 -01 of Irongate, Inc., submitted by Painter - Lewis, P.L.C., to rezone a
14.43 -acre portion of a 48.26 -acre tract from RA (Rural Areas) to M 1 (Light Industrial) with the amended

u
proffer that will disallow any use on the property other than the existing use, which is a fabrication shop and
• office, along with the other presented proffers.
Rezoning #03 -01 of Jeffrey E. Williams, submitted by G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc. to rezone 1.75
acres from RA (Rural Areas) to R5 (Residential Recreational). This property is located 1.7 miles south
of Double Tollgate on the west side of Route 340 and 522 South and identified with P.I.N. 94 -A -1 in the
Opequon Magisterial District.
Action - Tabled for 30 Days
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Planning Director, read the background information and review agency
comments and talked about the site history, location, site suitability, potential impacts, and the proffer
statement. He noted that the applicant has proffered to limit residential development to "age- restricted"
dwelling units and to abandon the existing single - family residence. In summary, Mr. Wyatt stated that the
impacts associated with this rezoning proposal are negligible; however, the applicant should meet with the
Stephens City Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department and obtain a comment which ensures this group is
comfortable with this application.
Mr. Charles W. Maddox, Jr. with G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., the design engineers for
this application, said that he was representing Dogwood Development, Inc., the developers of Shenandoah, the
contract owners of the Jeffrey E. Williams' property. Mr. Maddox said that he met with Mr. Lauck of the
Stephens City Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department to discuss the project; he also met with the emergency
services coordinators for Frederick, Warren, and Clarke Counties. Mr. Maddox said that although the plans
for their Town Center show a fire house, there is a difference of opinion about whether or not it should be
located in this area. He pointed out, however, that Stephens City does not have a problem serving this project.
Mr. Maddox added that they have agreed to forward $20,000 to the County, once the decision has been made
on a site for the fire station. Mr. Maddox said that no structures are involved with this particular rezoning and
site.
speak:
Chairman DeHaven called for public comment and the following person came forward to
Mr. Chris Bates, a resident of Clarke County who was also an adjoining property owner across
the street from the parcel to be rezoned and a property owner in the Shawnee District of Frederick County,
stated that the proposed rezoning application should not be heard this evening because the property had not
been posted with the required "public hearing sign" in accordance with standard procedure. In addition, Mr.
Bates said that in nassing the master plan, the Board of Supervisors directed Shenandoah to be in compliance
in several different areas before proceeding further, including the Virginia Game & Inland Fisheries agreement,
fire and safety, and a design for the commercial center. He believed that Shenandoah had not yet complied with
any of these issues and, in so much as this particular property has been designated to be the entrance for the
Shenandoah properties, he did not believe there was an approved plan from VDOT. Mr. Bates asked that the
rezoning be tabled until these issues are properly addressed.

Mr. Maddox returned to the podium and explained that his directions from the Board were to
® report on various items prior to final master development plan approval. He said that a complete set of plans
have been filed with VDOT and he expects their approvals in the March to April time period. Mr. Maddox
could not be certain about the location of the public hearing sign.
The Staff could not verify whether the sign was posted in the proper manner, therefore,
members of the Commission believed the application should be tabled until the public hearing sign could be
properly displayed on the property.
Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Morris,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
tabling of Rezoning #03 -01 of Jeffrey E. Williams, submitted by G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., to rezone
1.75 acres from RA (Rural Areas) to R5 (Residential Recreational), for 30 days in order for the public hearing
sign to be posted properly.
2001 -2002 Capital Improvements Plan for Frederick County
Action - Recommended Approval
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Planning Director, presented the 2001 -2002 Capital Improvements Plan
• (CIP) for Frederick County. Mr. Wyatt said that the Comprehensive Plans & Programs Subcommittee (CPPS)
met with County department representatives to discuss new project requests and project modification requests
associated with the CIP, they evaluated the projects proposed, and they established a prioritized list. He added
that the Board of Supervisors held a discussion on the proposed CIP on January 10, 2001; they did not make
any modifications to the proposed CIP.
Chairman DeHaven called for public comments, however, no one came forward to speak.
Mr. Thomas commented that if there will be athletic facilities at the third high school, then
complete athletic facilities should be planned instead ofjust a football stadium that is used by 45 -50 football
players; he believed there should be an indoor swimming pool that could be used year -around by all the citizens
of Frederick County. Mr. Thomas requested that his comments be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for
their consideration so that the third high school could be designed to provide recreational opportunities for the
community and not just the student body.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Kriz,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of the 2001 -2002 Capital Improvements Plan for Frederick County as recommended by the
Comprehensive Plans & Programs Subcommittee with the suggestion that improvements associated with the
third county high school be designed to provide recreational opportunities for the community and not just the
student body.

PUBLIC MEETING
Waiver Request by The Hard Way, L.C. and James H. Adams, Jr. to grant an exception from the
requirements of Section 144- 31C(3) of the Frederick County Subdivision Ordinance requiring that
easements providing access to lots within minor rural subdivisions be a minimum of 50' in width. This
property is located southwest of Rt. 522 on Quiet Meadow Lane and identified with P.I.N. 30 -A -122 in
the Gainesboro District.
Action - Recommended Approval
Chairman DeHaven said that he would abstain from discussions and vote on this item due to
a possible conflict of interest. Chairman DeHaven turned the conduction of the meeting over to Vice Chairman
Thomas.
Mr. Eric R. Lawrence, Deputy Planning Director, stated that staff has received a letter from
Mr. Ian R. D. Williams on behalf of The Hard Way, L.C. and its principal partner, Mr. James H. Adams, Jr.,
the owners of approximately 134 acres in the Gainesboro District, requesting the division of the parcel into
three tracts, which will be comprised of two agricultural lots and one residential lot; the parent tract is presently
accessed via an existing right -of -way, the width of which is not defined. Mr. Lawrence statdd that the proposed
division would create a single residential lot of 14.2 acres, a 25 -acre lot composed almost entirely of flood
plain, and the remaining 94.3 acres of the parent tract. He said that no future subdivision will be permitted
• without Board approval.
Mr. Lawrence continued, stating that the Subdivision Ordinance requires that any lot in a
minor rural subdivision either have direct access to a state - maintained road or be served by a right -of -way with
a minimum width of 50'. He said that the applicant has attempted to obtain the additional right -of -way needed
to meet the requirement of Section 144 -31(3) of the Subdivision Ordinance, but has been unsuccessful.
Mr. Ian Williams, representing The Hardway L.C. and its principal partner, Mr. James
Adams, Jr., sta- —that the division of the parcels as proposed is for a potential residential site. Mr. Williams
said that the larger of the two sites, the 25 -acre piece, will go to Mr. Adams' stepson for agricultural/farming
purposes and not residential; he said that it is in a flood zone and has no septic permit rights.
The Planning Commission agreed with the staff, given the fact that the 134 -acre parent tract
is already served by the right -of -way and the proposed land division would only create one residential lot, that
an exemption to the 50' requirement was appropriate.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Kriz,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Department does hereby recommend approval of the
waiver request by The Hard Way, L.C. and James H. Adams, Jr. to grant an exception from the requirements
of Section 144- 31C(3) of the Frederick County Subdivision Ordinance requiring that easements providing

Subdivision #05 -01 of Orchard Terrace, Inc. to subdivide a 13.2748 -acre tract into three lots. The
property is located at the intersections of North Kent Street, Brick Kiln Road, and Smithfield Avenue
and is identified with P.I.N. 54 -A -65 in the Stonewall District.
Action - Recommended Approval
Chairman DeHaven said that he would abstain from discussions and vote on this item due to
a possible conflict of interest. Chairman DeHaven turned the conduction of the meeting over to Vice Chairman
Thomas.
Mr. Eric R. Lawrence, Deputy Planning Director, read the background information and review
agency comments. Mr. Lawrence explained that the property is zoned M2 (Industrial General), but does not
have an approved master development plan; therefore, a recommendation by the Planning Commission to the
® Board of Supervisors will be necessary for approval. He said that the parcel presently contains a residence,
fronting on Smithfield Avenue, and lumber storage; the proposed subdivision would establish three lots:
10.9564 acres, 2.0237 acres, and 0.146 acres. Mr. Lawrence said that each lot will be required to have state
road frontage; therefore, the final plat must reflect the location of the required state road frontage for the
2.0237 -acre lot, as north Kent Street is currently not a state - maintained road.
Mr. Eds Coleman, representing the applicant, Orchard Terrace, Inc., stated that Orchard
Terrace, Inc. was formerly P. W. Plumly Lumber Corporation and much of the lumber facility that was located
within the City boundary has been sold. Mr. Coleman said that the reason for this subdivision request is for
the small, residential house on Smithfield, which is located within an industrial zone, and the desire to carve
off the 1.9 acres that fronts on North Kent Street. He stated that an application for industrial access funds is
pending through VDOT to improve this portion of Kent Street; this application was supported by both the
Frederick County Board of Supervisors and the Winchester City Council in January of 2001. Mr. Coleman
explained that until this road is constructed to state standards, the subdivision is not technically attainable; he
hoped to obtain the Commission's recommendation and Board's approval for when everything falls into place.
The Planning Commission believed the proposed division satisfied the requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance, contingent upon the applicant satisfying all review agency comments.
Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Kriz,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby recommend approval of
