RE: Proposed Rezoning of the Eastgate Commercial Property
Dear Patrick:
I have had the opportunity to review the draft rezoning application for the Eastgate
Commercial Property. This' application seeks to rezone 11.81 acres from the RA (Rural
Areas) District and 8.23 acres from the B3 (Industrial Transition) District to the B2
(Business General) District. Staffs review comments are listed below for your
consideration.
1. Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan. The site is within the
limits of the Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan. The plan
shows a portion of this property with a commercial designation. The proposed B2
Zoning is a business use and is generally consistent with the Eastern Frederick
County Long Range Land Use Plan as it relates this area.
2. Additional Property. There are two additional properties owned by Wrights Run
LP which have not been included with this rezoning; PIN's 87 -A -36 and 87 -A -37
are central to this rezoning and currently zoned RA. These properties will need to
be included in this rezoning.
3. Rezoning #02 -97. Rezoning 402 -97 currently covers PIN# 76 -A -53. This
proposed rezoning only covers the B3 portion of 76 -A -53. Parcel 76 -A -53, in its
entirety, should be included with this rezoning application so that everything
within the project is included under the same proffers. Including the entire project
under one proffer statement will ensure consistent entrances and improvements
throughout the entire development.
4. 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 clearly does not achieve a Level of Service C.

5. Rezoning Application — Proposed Uses. The application states the rezoning is
for 47,OOOsf of office and 166,OOOsf of retail uses. The proffer statement does not
call for a specific use. Unless a specific use and square footage is proffered, the
County will assume the maximum possible development (retail) as per the
County's application, combined with the maximum possible floor space. At the
maximum possible use, there is the potential for 428,074sf of retail uses. A
proffer to limit the square footage of this development to no more than what the
TIA was based on would be appropriate (see issue on assumptions below).
6. Traffic Impact Analysis - Assumptions. The TIA is based upon 166,662sf of
retail uses, 47000sf of office uses and 224,660sf of warehouse /industrial uses. As
stated under section D of your impact analysis, the warehouse /industrial uses
could be generated from the adjacent land bay (potential industrial). The potential
industrial should be included under your background traffic, not your assumption,
and your TIA should be based on what could actually be developed on the site
(428,074sf of retail).
7. Maranto Manor Drive. Maranto Manor Drive needs to connect to Rainville
Road; this application does not provide any assurances for the required
continuation of this road.
8. Tasker Road. The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Policy Plan
designates Tasker Road as an improved major collector. Full implementation of
the four -lane major collector road design would be appropriate along 76 -A -53.
9. Site Access. This development has access on Maranto Manor Drive as well as
access onto Tasker Road once Maranto connects to Rainville Road. The
proffers /GDP for this development state that this project will have two entrances
on Maranto Manor Drive and a right - in/right -out onto Route 522 and Rezoning
#02 -97 does not place any restrictions on the number or type of entrances on the
remainder of 76 -A -53. As stated in comment 3, the entire 76 -A -53 should be
included under one rezoning application and access to Route 522 should be
completely prohibited. Also, Section C (Location and Access) of your impact
analysis states that access will be provided through the existing B2 zoned acreage
by a northern entrance on Tasker Road and an eastern entrance on Route 522.
The referenced Tasker entrance is not shown on the GDP and there is no mention
of this access anywhere in the proffer statement.
10. TIA Background Development. On sheet 6 of the Background Development,
please clarify what project developments 9 -11 consist of and on sheet 7 under the
Artrip project, there is no soccer complex.

11. Traffic Impact Analysis — Route 522/Tasker Road Intersection. The TIA calls
for this intersection to be signalized and to have a new eastbound and northbound
left turn -lane. While Rezoning 402 -97 proffered the installation of the
signalization, there is no commitment for the installation of the turn lanes. It is
noted that even with the installation of the two turn lanes, PM peak traffic will
still function at a level of service D. As this application is not proffering any of
the needed turn lanes, it would be beneficial to see what the LOS would actually
be with only the previously proffered signalization.
12. Transportation Proffer 1.2. Proffer 1.2 provides for the traffic signal at the
intersection of Tasker /Rainville but does not provide the two northbound left turn
lanes called for in the TIA conclusions. These turn lanes are required to maintain
a level of service C.
13. Transportation Proffer 1.3. Proffer 1.3 provides for the traffic signal at the
intersection of the project entrance and the Home Depot entrance on Maranto
Manor Drive but does not account for any of the turn lanes called for in the TIA
conclusions.
14. Transportation Proffer 1.4. Proffer 1.4 provides for the eastbound left turn lane
for Maranto Manor Drive at the intersection of Route 522 / Maranto Manor as
called for in the TIA conclusions. It is noted that even with this improvement,
this intersection will not function at a level of service C or better and does not
meet County requirements.
15. Other Traffic Improvements. As stated in the TIA conclusions, there are
various transportation improvements which are necessary to maintain a LOS C or
better. The following improvements (in addition to comments I1 -13) have not
been addressed:
• Rainville Road/Maranto Manor Drive turn lanes
• Site Driveway 1/Maranto Manor Drive turn lanes
• Site Driveway 3/Route 522 turn lanes
• Site Driveway 4 /Route 522 turn lanes
16. Bike Path. Front Royal Pike is identified on the Frederick County Bicycle Plan
as a short term destination. Provide a bike trail in this location.
17. Design Standards. The proffer statement includes nothing that relates to design
standards (building facades, parking lot locations, landscaping, signage etc.).
Buildings should be placed adjacent to the roads and the parking lots placed
Page 4
Mr. Patrick Sowers
RE: Proposed Rezoning of
Eastgate Commercial Property
February 2, 2007
behind the buildings, especially along Tasker Road and Route 522. Street trees
should be provided along all public and internal roads and specific types of
building materials should be utilized within the project. Limitations on the
number and size of freestanding signs should be considered as well. Route 522
signage should be limited (number and size) and only monument style signage
should be utilized.
18. Agency Comments. Please provide appropriate agency comments from the
following agencies: Historic Resources Advisory Board, Virginia Department of
Transportation, Frederick County Department of Public Works, Frederick County
Fire Marshall, Frederick County Department of Parks and Recreation, Frederick
County Sanitation Authority, Frederick - Winchester Health Department, the local
Fire and Rescue Company and the Frederick - Winchester Service Authority. The
proposed proffers have been forwarded by staff to the Frederick County Attorney.
Once attorney comments are received by the Planning Department, they will be
forwarded to your office. Attorney comments are required for acceptance of the
rezoning application.
19. Special Limited Power of Attorney. Provide a power of attorney for the
property owners.
20. Fees. The fee for this application includes a $3,000.00 base fee plus $100.00 per
acre, and a $50.00 public hearing sign fee. This is based on fees as of January 27,
2005. Fees may change.
All of the above comments and reviewing agency comments should be appropriately
addressed before staff can accept this rezoning application. Please feel free to contact me
with questions regarding this application.

have reviewed the above - referenced Proposed Proffer Statement. It is my
opinion that the Proposed 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:
I. The Proffer Statement should contain a specific proffer that the
Transportation proffers will be made in conformity with the attached GDP.
2. Proffer 1.1 references No. 1 on the GDP. No. l is shown in two
places on the GDP, one of which says "right -in, right- out." If this entrance is to be
right -in, right -out, the proffer should so state specifically.

It should be noted that 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.

RE: Proposed Rezoning of Eastgate Commercial Property
Dear Patrick:
I am in receipt of your rezoning application for Eastgate Commercial
submitted on February 9, 2007. The application Property formally
is incomplete and so is being returned to
you. I would specifically point out that the ap ment
plication is missing a review com
from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT); the correspondence submitted
from VDOT was simply asking for additional clarification on the Transportation Impact
Analysis (TIA). Once you have obtained a review comment from VDOT regarding the
complete application, we will welcome a submission of the rezoning package.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

RE: Eastgate Commercial Rezoning
Dear Candice,
U
FE0 1 2 2007
I have provided response to your comments dated February 2, 2007 regarding the
Eastgate Commercial Rezoning Application as follows.
1. Eastern Frederick County Lang Range Land Use Plan. The site is within the
limits of the Eastern Frederick county Long Range Land Use Plan. The plan
shows a portion of this property with a commercial designation. The
proposed 132 Zoning is a business use and is generally consistent with the
Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan as it relates this area.
Agreed
2. Additional Property. Thcre are two additional properties owned by Wrights
Run 1..P which have not been included with this rezoning; PIN's 87 -A -36 and
87 -A -37 arc central to this rezoning and currently zoned RA. These
properties will need to be included in this rezoning.
These properties are not, listed in the rezoning application as tve// as
the proffer heading.
3. Rezoning #02'97. Rezoning #02 -97 currently covers PIN# 76 -A -53. This
proposed rezoning only covers the 133 portion of 76 -A -53. Parcel 76 -A -53, in
its entirety, should be included with this rezoning application so that
everything within the project is included under the same proffers. Including
the entire project under one proffer statement will ensure consistent entrances
and improvements throughout the entire development.
This appBcation is simply an attempt to create a more viable node of
B2 development by incorporating the existing B3 portions of 76 -A -53
into that parcel's existing B2 acreage while adding an additional 10.5
acres of B2 that are currently RA. As the B2 zoning rights for the
remainder ofparcel 76 -A -53 were established by conditional rezoning
#02 -97, the Applicant should not need to include this portion of the
Property as part of this application. Additionally, any entrances to the
Property will be governed by the regulations found in the Frederick
County Zoning Ordinance as well as any VDOT requirements at the
entrance permit phase of development to ensure safe and adequate
access to the Property.
0 r
4. Transportation Levels of Service. The Comprehensive Policy Plan calls for
Level of Scrvicc Category C or better for proposed industrial and commercial
development. This application clearly does not achieve a Level of Service C.
The revised proffer statement dated February 9, 2007 includes
provisions for every transportation needed to achieve a LOS C for every
intersection identified in the TIA. I would note that while Westbound
Matanto Manor Drive and Westbound Tasker Road at Route 522 have
PM Peak Hour Level of Service D, these intersections work at a LOS C
as a whole. When taking into account background traffic and the
positive fiscal impacts of the application, the proffered transportation
improvements are appropriate.
P H ^ 5. Rezoning Application — Proposed Uses. The application states the rezoning
� R t is for 47,000 s.f. of office and 166,000 s.f. of retail uses. The proffer
statement does not call for a specific use. Unless a specific use and square
footage is proffered, the County Will assume the maximum possible
development (retail) as per the County's application, combined with the
maximum possible floor space. At the maximan possible use, there is the
potential for 428, 074 s.f. retail uses. A proffer to hunt the square footage of
this development to no more than what the T]A was based on mould be
appropriate (sec issue on assumptions below).
Using a "worst case" scenario of a .50 FAR suggests a square footage
that more than doubles what a commercial developer could expect to
build on a given property. The square footage provided in the
application package and TIA represent an aggressive .25 FAR. With
required setbacks, maximum building heights, parking standards, and
stormwater management obtaining an FAR of greater than .20 is
ditRcult. Thus, the areas provided by the TIA and application are much
more indicative of the potential build -out for the Property than the
"worst case" scenario you identify above.
6. Traffic Impact Analysis- Assumptions. The'CIA is based upon 166,662 s.f. of
retail uses, 47,000 s.f. of office uses 224,660 s.f. of warchousejindustrial uses.
As stated under section D of your impact analysis, the warehouse /industrial
uses could be generated from the adjaceut land bay (potential industrial). The
potential industrial should be included under your background traffic, not
your assumption, and your TIA should be based on what could actually be
developed on the site (428,074 s.f. of retail).
Again I would reference my response to comment 5 above that using a
.5 FAR suggests an unrealistic potential build -our for the Property. In
Fact, a study completed by Greenway Engineering in 2004 found that the
average commercial project develops at a FAR of .192 despite the LO
Ordinance maximum and .5 "worst case" scenario used by staff.
7. Maranto Manor Drive. Maranto Manor Drive needs to connect to Rainville
Road; this application does not provide any assurances for the required
continuation of this road.
The Applicant is now in the process of bonding Maranto Manor Drive
which guarantees the funding of this connection.
8. Tasker Road. The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Policy Plan
designates Tasker Road as an improved major collector. Full implementation
of the four -lane major collector road design would be approptiate along 76 -A-
53.
While I don't necessarily agree that a 8.23 acre B3 to B2 and 10.65 acre
RA to B2 rezoning should be responsible for implementing a full four
P ^ lane road design when the TIA indicates that a LOS C is attainable
� R \ using a two lane section with additional turn lanes, I would note that
additional road improvements may be necessary during the site plan
review process. These improvements would be determined by the
specific use for the properly during the commercial entrance permitting
process.
9. Site Access. This development has access on Maranto Manor Drive as well as
access onto Tasker Road once Maranto connects to Rainville Road. The
proffers /GDP for this development state that this project will have two
entrances on Maranto Manor Drive and a right -in /right -out onto Route 522
and Rezoning remainder of 76 -A 53. As stated in comment 3, the entire 76-
A-53 should be included under one rezoning application and access to Route
522 should be completely prohibited. Also, Section C (Location and Access)
of your impact analysis states that access will be provided through the existing
132 zoned acreage by a northern entrance on Tasker Road and an eastern
entrance on Route 522. The referenced Tasker entrance is not shown on the
GDP and there is no mention of this access anywhere on the proffer
statement.
The Tasker Road entrance would be located across the existing B2
portion ofparcel 76 -A -53. A specific location for this entrance has yet to
be determined but any entrance on Tasker would have to meet
Ordinance specifications and VDOT requirements. Additionally, the
proffer has been amended so that the right in /right out entrance on the
subject property would be subject to approval by VDOT during the site
plan review phase. If this entrance is not deemed to be safe or
appropriate, then traffic would use other means of ingress /egress. The
scenario would be the same for any right in/right out entrances on the
existingB2portiorn ofparcel76A -53.
9 0
10. "TIA Background Development. On sheet G of the Background
Development, please clarify what project development 9 -11 consist of and on
sheet 7 under the Artrip project, there is no soccer complex.
Background developments #9, 10, and 11 are indicative of potential
development on the existing B2 zoned portion ofparcel 76 -A -53.
11. "Traffic Impact Analysis — route 522 /Tasker Road Intersection. The TIA calls
for this intersection to be signalized and to have a new eastbound and
northbound left turn -lane. While Rezoning #02 -97 proffered the installation
of the signalization, there is no commitment for the installation of the turn
lanes. It is noted that even with the installation of the two turn lanes, PNI
peak traffic will still function at a level of service D. As this application is not
proffering any of the needed mm lanes, it would be beneficial to see what the
P� n /� LOS would actually be with only the previously pr signahzation.
j1 \ The turn lanes identified by the TIA that rvere not proffered as part of
Rezoning #02 -97 are included as part of the revised Proffer Statement
dated February 9, 2007.
12. Transportation Proffer 12. Proffer 1.2 provides for the traffic signal at the
intersection of "Tasker /Rainville but does not provide the two northbound left
turn lanes called for in the TIA conclusions. These turn lanes are required to
maintain a level of service C.
These lanes are included as part of the revised Proffer Statement.
13. "Transportation Proffer 1.3. Proffer 1.3 provides for the traffic signal at the
intersection of the project entrance and the Home Depot entrance on
Nlaranto Manor Drive but does not account of any of the turn lanes called for
in the'TIA conclusions.
These lanes are included as part of the revised Proffer Statement.
14. Transportation Proffer 1.4. Proffer 1.4 provides for the eastbound left turn
lane for Nlaranto Nlanor Drive at the intersection of Route 522 /Nlaranto
Manor as called for in the TIA conclusions. It is noted that even with this
improvement, this intersection will not function at a level of service C or
better and does not meet County requirements.
While the PM Peak Hour LOS for the uvestbound movement ofMaranto
Manor Drive will operate at a LOS D with the additional left tutu lane in
place, I would note that the intersection as a whole will operate at a LOS
C. Again I would suggest that the positive fiscal impacts of this tvpe of
economic development use would offset a single movement at LOS D
within an intersection that operates at a LOS C.
0 •
15. Other "Traffic Improvements. As stated in the TiA conclusions, there are
various transportation improvements which are necessary to maintain a LOS
C or better. The following improvements (in additional to comments 11 -13_
have not been addressed:
• Rainville Road /Dlaranto Nlanor Drive turn lanes
• Site Driveway 1 /Nfaranto Manor Drive turn lanes
• Site Driveway 3 /Route 522 turn lanes
• Site Drivewav 4 /Route 522 turn lanes
Pcr the previous responses, all turn lanes needed have been included in
the revised Proffer Statement. If the right in /right out entrances (Site
Driveway 3 and 4) are permitted, turn lanes would be provided as
required during the entrance pernuttmg phase.
P R +A 16. Bike Path. Front Royal Pike is identified on the Frederick County Bicycle
Plan as a short term destination. Provide a bike trail in this location.
The Applicant has proffered a bike path in lieu of sidewalks along Front
Royal Pike.
17. Design Standards. The proffer statement includes nothing that relates to
design standards (building facades, parking lot location, landscaping, signage,
etc). Buildings should be placed adjacent to the roads and the parking lots
placed behind the buildings, espcciallY along Taskcr Road and Route 522.
Street trees should be provided along all public and internal roads and specific
types of building materials should be utilized within the project. Limitations
on the number and size of freestanding signs should be considered as well.
Route 522 signage should be limited (number and size) and only monument
style signage should be utilized.
As any proffered design materials would not be applicable to the
existing B2 zoned portions ofparcel 76 -A -53, a design palette would not
necessarily be of use for the Property. This same notion is applicable to
signage as well. Any development on the property would be subject to
Ordinance requirements.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions.

RE: Eastgate Commercial Rezoning
Dear Candice,
I have provided response to your comments dated February 2, 2007 regarding the
Eastgate Commercial Rezoning Application as follows.
1. Eastern Frederick County Lang Range Land Use Plan. The site is within the
limits of the Eastern Frederick county Long Range Land Use Plan. The plan

proposed B2 Zoning is a business use and is generally consistent with the
Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan as it relates this area.
Agreed
2. Additional Property. There are two additional properties owned by Wrights
Run LP which have not been included with this rezoning; PIN'S 87 -A -36 and
87 -A -37 are central to this rezoning and currently zoned RA. These
properties will need to be included in this rezoning.
These propeltzes are no w listed in the , ezozzi>zg application as well as
tl>eprofferheadzng.
Rezoning # 02 -97. Rezoning # 02 -97 currently covers PIN# 76 -A -53. This
proposed rezoning only covers the B3 portion of 76 -A -53. Parcel 76 -A -53, in
its entirety, should be included with this rezoning application so that
everything within the project is included under the same proffers. Including
the entire project under one proffer statement will ensure consistent entrances
and improvements throughout the entire development.
This application is simply <zn attempt to create a ""laze "Table "rode of

4. 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 clearly does not achieve a Level of Service C.
The revised proffer statement dated Febrzrary 21, 2007 includes

posrtlze frscal Impacts of the applrcatiotr, the proffered transportation
lrrrpro zenrents are appropriate.
P ^ 5. Rezoning Application - Proposed Uses. The application states the rezoning
n R \ is for 47,000 s.f. of office and 166,000 s.f. of retail uses. The proffer
statement does not call for a specific use. Unless a specific use and square
footage is proffered, the County will assume the maximum possible
development (retail) as per the County�s application, combined with the
maximum possible floor space. At the maximum possible use, there is the
potential for 428, 074 s.f. retail uses. A proffer to limit the square footage of
this development to no more than what the TIA was based on would be
appropriate (see issue on assumptions below).
Using a "worst case "scerrarzo ofa .SOFAR suggests a square faotage

6. Traffic Impact Analysis- Assumptions. The TIA is based upon 166,662 s.f. of
retail uses, 47,000 s.f. of office uses 274,660 s.f. of warehouse/ industrial uses.
As stated under section D of your impact analysis, the warehouse /industrial
uses could be generated from the adjacent land bay (potential industrial). The
potential industrial should be included under your background traffic, not
your assumption, and your TIA should be based on what could actually be
developed on the site (428,074 s.f. of retail).

7. Maranto Manor Drive. Maranto Manor Drive needs to connect to Raawille
Road; this application does not provide any assurances for the required
continuation of this road.
Proffer 17 has been added to prozza'e for this connection prior to
issuance of a cezticate of occupancy for any building constricted on
the Property.
8. Tasker Road, The Eastern Road Plan of the Comprehensive Policy Plan
designates Tasker Road as an improved major collector. Full implementation
of the tour -lane major collector road design would be appropriate along 76 -A-
53.
While 1'//0"1 t "lees sorrily agzee that a 8.23 acre 93 to S2 and 10.6Sacre
PHR1t RA to B2 rezoning shozrld be responsible for z>mplementing a fidl four
lane road desig>r when the 7'14 indicates that a LOS C is attainable
using a two lane sectioiz with additional turn lanes, I would note that
additional roadimplo zements may be necessary diming the site plan
reziezv process. These zmprozements would be determined by the
spec fie use forthe property daring the commercial entrance permitting
process.
9. Site Access. This development has access on Maranto Manor Drive as well as
access onto Tasker Road once Maranto connects to Rainville Road. The
proffers /GDP for this development state that this project will have two
entrances on Maranto Manor Drive and a right - in/right -out onto Route 522
and Rezoning remainder of 76 -A 53. As stated in comment 3, the entire 76-
A-53 should be included under one rezoning application and access to Route
522 should be completely prohibited. Also, Section C (Location and Access)
of your impact analysis states that access will be provided through the existing
B2 zoned acreage by a northern entrance on Tasker Road and an eastern
entrance on Route 522. The referenced Tasker entrance is not shown on the
GDP and there is no mention of this access anywhere on the proffer
statement.
The Tasker Road entrance would be located across the existing e72
portion ofparce176 - -A -S3 A specific location forthis entrance has ye, lo
Ile determined but any entrance on Tasker wozrld haze to meet
Oldzriance spec fications and UDOT requirements. Additionally, the

10. TIA Background Development. On sheet 6 of the Background
Development, please clarify what project development 9 -11 consist of and on
sheet 7 under the Artrip project, there is no soccer complex.
Background de�lopments #9, 10, and 11 are indicatiz"r ofpotential
aezelopnaenton the existing B2zotrea'po. ofparcel76 -A -S.3
11. Traffic Impact Analysis - route 522 /Tasker Road Intersection. The TIA calls
for this intersection to be signalized and to have a new eastbound and
northbound left tum -lane. While Rezoning # 02 -97 proffered the installation
of the signalization, there is no commitment for the installation of the turn
lanes. It is noted that even with the installation of the two turn lanes, PM
peak traffic will still function at a level of service D. As this application is not
PH � A proffering any of the needed turn lanes, it would be beneficial to see what the
l�[, LOS would actually be with only the previously proffered signalization.
The turn hires identfed by the TIA that were notproffe. as pan of
Rezoning #02- -97 are inclzrded as part of the rezysed Proffer Statement
datedFebrna>y 9, 2007.
12. Transportation Proffer 1.2. Proffer 1.2 provides for the traffic signal at the
intersection of Tasker /Rainville but does not provide the two northbound left
turn lanes called for in the TIA conclusions. These rum lanes are required to
maintain a level of service C.
These lanes are inckrdedaspartofthe revisedl'rofferState vent.
13. Transportation Proffer 1.3. Proffer 1.3 provides for the traffic signal at the
intersection of the project entrance and the Home Depot entrance on
Maranto Manor Drive but does not account of any of the tun lanes called for
in the TIA conclusions.
These laires ave i7ulrrdedas part ofthe rez2s edProff rStatement.
14. Transportation Proffer 1.4. Proffer 1.4 provides for the eastbound left turn
lane for Maranto Manor Drive at the intersection of Route 522 / Maranto
Manor as called for in the TIA conclusions. It is noted that even with this
improvement, this intersection will not function at a level of service C or
better and does not meet County requirements.

economic development use would offset a single mozement at LOS D
within an intersectian that operates ataLOS C.
15. Other Traffic Improvements. As stated in the TIA conclusions, there are
various transportation improvements which are necessary to maintain a LOS
C or better. The following improvements (in additional to comments 11 -13_
have not been addressed:
• Rainville Road /Maranto Manor Drive turn lanes
• Site Driveway 1 /Maranto Manor Drive turn lanes

Plan as a short term destination. Provide a bike trail in this location.
The Appl camv has proffered a bike pate lr trerr ofsrdezeniks along Front

17. Design Standards. The proffer statement includes nothing that relates to
design standards (building facades, parking lot location, landscaping, signage,
etc). Buildings should be placed adjacent to the roads and the parking lots
placed behind the buildings, especially along Tasker Road and Route 522.
Street trees should be provided along all public and internal roads and specific
types of building materials should be utilized within the project. Limitations
on the number and size of freestanding signs should be considered as well.
Route 522 signage should be limited (number and size) and only monument
style signage should be utilized.
As any proffered desrgu materials zeorrld not be applicable to the

Eastgate Commercial Property TIA (dated 1/19/07)
Frederick County, Virginia
Staunton District Planning has completed our review of the subject TIA and offers the
following comments for the Edinburg Residency's consideration:
TIA - General
• We recall an agreement to study the Rt. 522 and Rt. 277 intersection. Please
explain why this has been omitted from the study.
We recall an agreement that the study was to be performed using Synchro v.6.
Please explain.
• Referencing page 1, it states "...conducted AM and PM peak hour... counts at the
intersections of Rt. 522 / Tasker Road, Tasker Road/Rainville Rd. and Route
522/Maranto Manor Drive. ". The supporting count data indicates that counts
along Rt. 522 were conducted in May 2005. While we understand that a growth
factor was applied to this data, it is important that the reviewer understand the
analyst's methodology. Please explain and revise.
• Several development plan illustrations are provided in the submittal, and
numerous references to 4 land bays that will generate uniquely different traffic
volumes, and yet no illustration appears to accurately define where the land bays
are situated. Figure 6 thru 9 do not correspond to the Land Bay Trip Generation
Table 2, page 10. Please explain.
• Referencing Table 1, page 6, errors exist in the Background Development # 5:
• The Elementary School AM Peak Hour In and Out Volumes should be
127 and 104, not 110 and 76
• The Middle School AM Peak Hour In and Out Volumes should be 246
and 206, not 223 and 168.
• We are unable to determine the potential impacts to Rt. 522 as a result of the two
proposed additional right - in/out site drives. We are concerned that the arterial
level of service along this corridor could be compromised should these entrances
be approved without further study.
• Referencing Table 1, page 7, errors exist in the Background Development # 13:
The code for Elderly Housing — Attach should be 252, not 253.
• We question some of the Background Conditions traffic assignments. For
example:
• Why does the intersection of Maranto Manor Drive / Site Drive 42 have
almost the same amount southbound left -turn and right -turn traffic?
Please explain your assumptions.
• It seems illogical that right turn traffic from Land Bays' A &B would exit,
make a right turn at Rainville, and then make another right to arrive Rt.
522. Please explain your assumptions.

• The HCS report for the intersection of Maranto Manor Drive / Site Drive #1 has
different traffic volumes then those illustrated in Figure 8: 2010 Build -out Traffic
Conditions on page 13. Please revise.
• We are concerned about the operation and safety allowing full (or even partial)
access at Site Drive #1 and Maranto Manor Drive. The analysis as presented
during 2010 build -out conditions assumes an unsignalized condition with NB left
and right movements. The HCS analysis assumes a raised median storage area
for left turning vehicles with an opposing WB thru volume of 403 vehicles. The
only reason that this NB left turning movement operates at LOS C is the raised
median, without it the LOS is F. As presented in the study, the right tum
movement is already expected to operate at LOS F. Please explain.
• Numerous movements both internal and external to the proposed site operate at
levels of service of D or worse, even with the "Suggested Improvements ". All
movements are to perform at a LOS of C or better.
• There is no analysis of Site Drive 93 and Rt. 522. Please explain.
• There are numerous "Suggested Improvements" that appear in the study with no
corresponding text as to what the applicant is willing to participate in funding.
Many of the improvements will require right -of -way for which the applicant does
not control. Please explain.
• Please explain why the analyst choose to use a PHF of 0.90 for 2010 AM build -
out conditions at Maranto Manor Dr. and Site Dr #2, and yet choose to use a PHF
of .95 for 2010 PM build -out conditions?
• The AM signal timing for the intersection of Maranto Manor Drive / Site Drive #
2 has two phases, while the PM signal timing has four phases. AM and PM
signal timings can have different splits, but the phases should be the same. Please
explain.

report titled: A Traf/ic Impact Ana lyri of EmXYale Re onine
13612 -1 -3
cc: Jerry Copp; Lloyd Ingram; Eric Lawrence; Patrick Sowers
In addition to the modified proffer statement submitted on February 9, 2007 as part of the
rezoning application for the Eastgate Commercial Property, we have provided the following
responses for comments provided via e -mail by the Virginia Department of Transportation on
February 8, 2007 with regards to the submitted Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA):
VDOT Comment # 1: We recall an agreement to study the Rt. 522 and Rt. 277 intersection.
Please explain why this has been omitted from the study.
PHR +A Response: Based upon a scoping session attended by PHR +A, VDOT and Frederick
County, this intersection was not included as a part of the TIA scope of study. However, it is
important to note that the major intersections affected by the proposed development have been
included in the study.
VDOT Comment # 2: We recall an agreement that the study was to be performed using Synchro
v.6. Please explain.
PHR +A Response: Based upon a scoping session attended by PHR +A, VDOT and Frederick
County, Synchro v.6. was not a requirement for the TIA.
VDOT Comment # 3: Referencing page 1, it states "...conducted AM and PM peak hour... counts
at the intersections of Rt. 522 /Tasker Road, Tasker Road /Rainville Rd. and Route 522 /Maranto
Manor Drive. ". The supporting count data indicates that counts along Rt. 522 were conducted in
May 2005. While we understand that a growth factor was applied to this data, it is important that
the reviewer understand the analyst's methodology. Please explain and revise.
PHR +A Response: Counts for this study area were begun in 2005 and, as such, were included as
data for the TIA. As you have indicated, a growth factor was used in the TIA to accommodate the
original date of the traffic counts.
VDOT Comment # 4: Several development plan illustrations are provided in the submittal, and
numerous references to 4 land bays that will generate uniquely different traffic volumes, and yet no
illustration appears to accurately define where the land bays are situated. Figure 6 thru 9 do not
correspond to the Land Bay Trip Generation Table 2, page 10. Please explain.

PHR +A Response: Figures 6 -9 depict four land bays labeled A, B, C, and D. Land Bay A is
shown twice on the figures as it is bisected by Maranto Manor Drive. The remaining labels are
located with the locations that correspond to the actual land bay locations. I would reference the
Generalized Development Plan which was included as part of the submission package which clearly
shows the boundaries of land bays A, B, and C. Land Bay D is included as part of the TIA as a
potential future use but is not formally included in the rezoning application.
VDOT Continent # 5: Referencing Table 1, page 6, errors exist in the Background Development
# 5:- The Elementary School AM Peak Hour In and Out Volumes should be 127 and 104, not 110
and 76 - The Middle School AM Peak Hour In and Out Volumes should be 246 and 206, not 223
and 168.
PHR +A Response: The trip generation results associated with Background Development # 5
were copied verbatim from an approved traffic study for a project located within the vicinity of the
Eastgate development. The minor increase in trip generation would cause a negligible impact to
the study area intersections and would not alter the conclusions derived in the TIA.
VDOT Comment # 6: We are unable to determine the potential impacts to Rt. 522 as a result of
the two proposed additional right- in/out site drives. We are concerned that the arterial level of
service along this corridor could be compromised should these entrances be approved without
further study.
PHR +A Response: The location of the two (2) proposed right -in /right -out site - driveways, with
respect to the adjacent planned signalized intersections of Tasker Road /Route 522 and Maranto
Manor Drive /Route 522, present an opportunity to accommodate commercial traffic and facilitate
commercial ingress and egress from the site without burdening other area intersections.
VDOT Comment # 7: Referencing Table 1, page 7, errors exist in the Background Development
# 13: The code for Elderly Housing —Attach should be 252, not 253.
PHA +A Response: This is a typographical error and will not impact the conclusions derived in
the TIA
VDOT Cornrnent # 8: We question some of the Background Conditions traffic assignments. For
example:
- Why does the intersection of Maranto Manor Drive / Site Drive # 2 have almost the same
amount southbound left -tum and right -tum traffic? Please explain your assumptions.
- It seems illogical that righ! !rani traffic from Land Bays' A&B would exit, make a right turn at
Rainville, and then make another right to arrive Rt. 522. Please explain your assumptions.
PHR +A Response: We believe that with the new retail developments occurring to the south in
Warren County, trips to and from the proposed development will be from the north and west.
Traffic desiring to go west on Tasker Road may find it easier to use Maranto Manor and Rainville.
Traffic heading north may use Maranto Manor Drive to Route 522.

VDOT Continent # 9: The HCS report for the intersection of Maranto Manor Drive / Site Drive
# 1 has different traffic volumes then those illustrated in Figure 8: 2010 Build -out Traffic
Conditions on page 13. Please revise.
PHR +A Response: There is typographical error in entering volume for 2010 AM build -out
conditions in HCS file. However, with the correct volumes shown in Figure 8, the levels of service
results will remain same for each movement and approach LOS as shown in TIA.
VDOT Continent # 10: We are concerned about the operation and safety allowing full (or even
partial) access at Site Drive # 1 and Maranto Manor Drive. The analysis as presented during 2010
build -out conditions assumes an unsignalized condition with NB left and right movements. The
HCS analysis assumes a raised median storage area for left turning vehicles with an opposing WB
thnn volume of 403 vehicles. The only reason that this NB left turning movement operates at LOS
C is the raised median, without it the LOS is F. As presented in the study, the right turn movement
is already expected to operate at LOS F. Please explain.
PHR +A Response: A concrete median has been included as a proffered condition in order to
obtain a LOS C for the PM Peak Hour. With the installation of this median, the referenced
intersection, as a whole, will accommodate a minimum LOS C which meets the guidelines of the
Frederick County Comprehensive Plan.
VDOT Conunent # 11: Numerous movements both internal and external to the proposed site
operate at levels of service of D or worse, even with the "Suggested Improvements ". All
movements are to perform at a LOS of C or better.
PHR +A Response: Each intersection, as a whole, will operate at a LOS C or better with the
proffered transportation improvements in place. While the use of the word "numerous" in your
comment would indicate a great deal of movements will operate at a LOS D or worse, only two
movements in fact operate below a LOS C. These two movements are identified as westbound
Maranto Manor Drive and westbound Tasker Road. Both of these movements operate at a LOS
D. I would note that background traffic alone would place these movements at a LOS C and,
furthermore, that the positive fiscal impacts that this type of economic development use poses for
Frederick County should more than offset a one tier discrepancy for two movements within the
entire development area.
VDOT Continent # 12: There is no analysis of Site Drive # 3 and Rt. 522. Please explain.
PHR +A Response: This movement would use the internal site for required stacking distance and,
as such, would not pose an) detrimental impacts to the public traffic network.

VDOT Continent # 13: There are numerous "Suggested Improvements" that appear in the study
with no corresponding text as to what the applicant is willing to participate in funding. Many of the
improvements w ll require right -of -way for which the applicant does not control. Please explain.
PHR +A Response: Every necessary improvement identified by the TIA has been proffered by
this rezoning request or a previous application. For each transportation improvement, appropriate
right of way either already exists or can be provided by the Applicant as the applicant owns
property adjacent to each of the subject intersections.
VDOT Comment # 14: Please explain whythe analyst choose to use a PHF of 0.90 for 2010 AM
build -out conditions at Maranto Manor Dr. and Site Dr # 2, and yet choose to use a PHF of .95 for
2010 PM build -out conditions?
PHR +A Response: Overall PHF value of 0.95 was calculated from the PM peals hour counts
conducted at the intersection of Route 522 /Maranto Manor Drive. This value was applied to the
analysis of the Maranto Manor Drive /Site - Driveway # 2 intersection since existing counts do not
exist at this location. However, as a test, PHR +A re- analyzed this intersection using a 0.90 PHF
during PM peak hour conditions and determined levels of service (overall, approach and lane
group) will remain consistent with those represented in the TIA.
VDOT Comment # 15: The AM signal timing for the intersection of Maranto Manor Drive / Site
Drive # 2 has two phases, while the PM signal timing has four phases. AM and PM signal timings
can have different splits, but the phases should be the same. Please explain.
PHR +A Response: It is our understanding that it is acceptable to have multiple phase
combinations throughout the day since the controllers can be programmed to accommodate daily
variations in traffic patterns.. However, as test, PHR +A verified that assuming four (4) phases
during the AM and PM peak hour conditions, respectively, would result in levels of service (overall,
approach and lane group) consistent with those represented in the TIA.

CONCLUSION
0
The traffic impacts associated with the Eastgate Rezoning development, assuming
suggested improvements, are acceptable and manageable. Based upon HCS -2000 results,
each of the study area intersections will operate with overall levels of service "C" or better
during 2010 build -out conditions. The following reiterates the suggested roadway
configuration required for each of the study area roadway intersections during 2010 build -
out conditions:
• Route 522/Tasker Road In order to achieve acceptable levels of service, this
intersection will require traffic signalization along with an additional eastbound
and northbound left -turn lane.
• Tasker Road/Rainville Road In order to achieve acceptable levels of service,
this . n will require traffic signalization and two (2) northbound left -
tu l�no
G
• Route 522/Maranto Manor Drive In order to maintain acceptable levels of
service, this intersection will require an additional eastbound left -turn lane.
• Rainville Road/Maranto Manor Drive This is a new intersection. It will be an
