Dear Susan:
RE: Jordan Springs Rezoning
Our File No. 841001
In light of the Planning Commission's decision last night to move the above - referenced
rezoning forward to the Board of Supervisors without benefit of the second round of comments
from various agencies, we would ask that the matter not be placed before the Board of
Supervisors for hearing until such time as those agency comments have been returned. In
particular, we look forward to receiving VDOT's second round of comments to the TIA
submitted by our Traffic Engineer.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. Please confirm by return mail that the
matter will not be on the Board of Supervisors' herring agenda for March 14, 2007.
truly yours,

following entry of a final court order affirming the decision of the Board which has not been
appealed, or, if appealed, the day following which the decision has been affirmed on appeal. Any

RE: Rezoning Application Proffer Statement
DATE: February 2, 2007
Please find attached to this memorandum a proffer statement for Jordan Springs dated January 10,
2007. You had previously reviewed a Jordan Springs proffer statement dated July 17, 2006. I want
to draw your attention to two issues in particular. There is an existing proffer statement on a portion
(10.33 acres) of this 227 acre site, REZ 410-01. I have attached the proffer statement from that 2001
rezoning. It is my understanding that the applicant wishes this new statement to replace the one
adopted in 2001. Secondly, in section 3.2 of the January 10, 2007 proffer statement, the applicant is
proposing new standards for established housing types in the RP (Residential Performance) District
and proposing an entirely new housing type in the RP District.
Your comments would be appreciated. Jordan Springs is scheduled for the Planning Commission on
February 21, 2007.
Thank you for your continued assistance.

RE: The Preserve at Jordan Springs
BCG Project #5016 -01 -001
Dear Ms. Eddy,
Last Tuesday, August 8, 2006, we submitted the "Preserve at Jordan Springs" Comprehensive
Plan Amendment /Rezone Application for your review. This is a follow -up letter recognizing
that while we acknowledge the procedure of submitting both applications simultaneously is not
the standard procedure, we believe that it's essential with this project.
It seems most reasonable to submit the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone
Application together at the same time, since characteristics related to historic overlay and current
UDA /SWSA boundary issues associated with the Comprehensive Plan need to be addressed. It
is our desire to rezone the property from RA and B2 to RP and B2, and to zxtend the
UDA/SWSA lines to include our entire site. Since our site directly follows along Jordan Springs
Road and Woods Mill Road it seems a logical UDA /SWSA boundary per latest Frederick
County Planning discussions which potentially adjust the UDA /SWSA to follow property lines
or primary roadways.
If you can articulate a process that would work better for our site please let us know. We
anticipate a smooth Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezone process.
Sincerely,

County Court Reporters, Inc. and Court Reporting Consultants plan to purchase the
Jordan Springs property and move their corporate office to the property.
Approximately seventeen (17) office employees are associated with this move.
Employee growth at this location is not anticipated because of the high level of
technology associated with these businesses. Following the relocation, a long -term
preservation program for the Jordan Springs property is anticipated. The buildings and
grounds surrounding the core complex are planned to remain unchanged except for
required repairs and maintenance. Amble parking and access exist for the planned
office use.
The core complex of Jordan Springs consists of four major buildings:
- BUILDING "A ":The "hotel or main building" which consists of approximately
29,150 square feet.

Jordan Springs has been in continuous use as a resort, hotel, seminary and drug and
alcohol rehabilitation center for over 100 years. More recently, the complex has been
used by the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity as a seminary, and by
Shalom Et Benedictus, Inc. for alcohol and drug rehabilitation purposes. The
transformation from the seminary to the rehabilitation facility occurred gradually in the
late 1960's with Shalom Et Benedictus, Inc. emerging as the primary user in 1971 - 72.
Shalom Et Benedictus, Inc. operated at Jordan Springs with between 30 to 50 residents
and employees until late 1999. Jordan Springs has been maintained since, as a drug and
alcohol rehabilitation facility by the owners. This use has not been discontinued. The
owners have kept staff on board at Jordan Springs to maintain the property in its current
use and condition in hopes of having another operator such as Shalom Et Benedictus,
Inc. provide similar services. Currently two staff members are employed in such a
capacity.
