Ruddy, AICP / Deputy Director RE: Rezoning Notes —1932 Senseny Road, Ervin Development DATE: I April 12, 2007 The following points are offered regarding the 1932 Senseny Road, Ervin Development Rezoning application. Please consider them as you continue your work preparing the application for submission to Frederick County. The comments reiterate the input I provided at our meeting of Monday March 19' 2007. 1932 Senseny Road, Ervin Development Rezoning — Additional Rezoning Notes. General. Please ensure that all review agency comments are fully addressed in particular those offered by the HRAB. The comments offered by the Frederick County Attorney in review of this application are attached. Land Use. Recently, The Frederick County Board of Supervisors approved the land use proposal for the urban areas of the County. This alternative form of land use provides a desirable choice for properties located within areas identified as potential neighborhood villages and urban centers. This property is located in an area designated as a potential neighborhood village. Staff would encourage this applications consideration of the neighborhood village concept and the principles of new urbanism to the greatest extent practical. However, as we have discussed before, this is a not a requirement of the Comprehensive Plan, rather a choice that may be utilized by the applicant when considering the future development of a property. Regardless of the above comment, this property is located in a developing area that contains a number of established residential properties. Special consideration should be provided to ensure that the impacts to the adjacent residential properties are considered. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000 1932 Senseny Road, Ervin Development Rezoning — Preliminary Rezoning Comments April 12, 2007 Page 2 Particular effort should be made to provide for enhanced design of the project to facilitate improved corridor appearance and the sensitive integration of the project into the surrounding community. Signage, landscaping, lighting, and building layout and form should be carefully planned to ensure that this achieved. Such design elements should seek to exceed those provided on other similar developments to ensure that this project fits in with the surroundings and context of this particular location. The above could be done in context with the historical character of the property. Impact Analysis. Transportation. Please make sure that the application provides a transportation impact analysis (TIA). The TIA should at a minimum provide an evaluation of the intersection of Senseny Road and Greenwood Road and should recognize the recently approved Orrick Commons rezoning, TIA, and proffered transportation improvements, in addition to the traffic generated by the proposed use of this property. Inter- parcel circulation and access should be a greater consideration. It is anticipated that redevelopment may occur on the properties to the east of this parcel. Therefore, inter - parcel connectivity should be accommodated to the adjacent property to the east. The desired typical section for the ultimate upgraded Senseny Road and Greenwood Road should be addressed and incorporated into this application. The Comprehensive Plan identifies Senseny Road as a major collector road with a four -lane divided urban typical section. Greenwood Road is identified as a minor collector road with an urban section. Due to the character of Senseny Road, a right -in- right -out restriction should be designed into the projects entrance on to Senseny Road. This, in conjunction with the raised median should address access management along Senseny Road. Please recognize that pedestrian accommodations should also be incorporated into the project. Particular consideration could be given to this at the signalized intersection of Senseny and Greenwood. Other projects in the general vicinity of this project have contributed additional funding for transportation improvements in the general area. This has been done in recognition of the need to address the broader transportation improvements in this developing area of the County. 1932 Senseny Road, Ervin Development Rezoning — Preliminary Rezoning Comments April 12, 2007 Page 3 Proffer Statement. The Generalized Development Plan accompanying the Proffer Statement is extremely specific. It may be prudent to be more general on the site development plan but maintain specificity on important elements such as the right -in -right -out entrance, pedestrian accommodations, and building location. It would be preferable to state which specific improvements will be completed by the applicant to satisfy the County and the State at the time of rezoning. This should be done in the language of the statement and should pay particular attention to the proffered transportation elements. The simplification would provide flexibility to implement other designs including future New Urbanist overlays. Other. The impact statement should address the anticipated impacts on solid waste through a landfill impact analysis and should further address the impacts to fire and rescue services. Provide a plat of rezoning that includes a metes and bounds description of the property for which the rezoning is being requested. Also, please provide a deed for the property. It should be confirmed that the deed and covenants for the property, in particular lot 1 of the Greenwood Heights subdivision, contains no restrictions on the use of the property. MTR/bad 0 COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Planning and Development 540/665 -5651 FAX: 5401665 -6395 February 26, 2007 A Mr. John Lewis, PE Painter - Lewis, PLC 116 S. Stewart St. Winchester, VA 22601 RE: Ervin Development Rezoning; 1932 Senseny Road Zoning District: RP (Residential Performance) Dear Mr. Lewis: The Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) considered the above referenced rezoning proposal during their meeting of February 20, 2007. The HRAB reviewed information associated with the Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey Report Historic Resources Advisory Board Concerns The subject parcel is the site of one of only a few schools constructed of formed rusticated concrete block (DHR #34 -421, Greenwood School). Some other attributes of the school included a bell tower that sat on the roof as well as serving as a public school in the "Modem Expansion Era." The site has been used as a residence since the schools closure in 1942. Since the historical structures within close proximity of Greenwood School are not listed as "potentially significant' by the Rural Landmark Survey Report, consideration of preservation may be warranted due to this structure being historically vital to the Senseny /Greenwood area. The application states that the applicant proposes to construct a 12,900 square foot pharmacy, which would include a drive -thru window. The HRAB feels that this proposed development can address several issues prior to the rezoning of this property. If the property is developed for commercial use, the HRAB suggests the following be considered to mitigate impacts on historic resources: Building Layout: The HRAB felt that there is a possibility to preserve the Greenwood School by modifying the design of the pharmacy to encompass a smaller area than 12,900 sq.ft. Office uses were suggested for the Greenwood School should it be preserved on the property. Relocation: In lieu of the large design of the pharmacy, the HRAB suggested that the applicant relocate the Greenwood School to another location within the parcel outside the footprint of the pharmacy, or an adjoining parcel. The HRAB referenced past historical structures that had been relocated successfully. Building Design: The design concept for the pharmacy should include similar building materials to that of the Greenwood School. The HRAB requested that if the Greenwood School be demolished, that the applicant takes building material from the school and incorporate it onto the pharmacy. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000 John Lewis Re: Ervin Development Rezoning February 26, 2007 Page 2 Historical Marker: The HRAB advised the applicant to provide a historical marker on the site. The historical marker should be an interpretive sign, which includes the name, description, and photo /drawing of Greenwood School. The historical marker should be at least four square feet in area to ensure functionality. Placement of the sign should be located in the front of the property or near the main entrance to the structure. Architectural renderings of the school would also be appropriate in varied locations on the site. Building Material. If the Greenwood School were to be demolished, the HRAB felt it would be appropriate to maintain significant materials from the school for placement within local museums. The historical /architectural consultant for the HRAB offered to evaluate materials of the structure for future use in museums. Please contact me with any questions concerning these comments from the HRAB. Sincerely, i Kevin T. Henry Planning Technician KTH/bad cc: Rhoda Kriz, HRAB Chairman Philip A.

Ruddy, Deputy Director 1932 Senseny Road Rezoning - Ervin Development - CVS Pharmacy Page 1 of 1 0 Jill Fries From: Funkhouser, Rhonda [ Rhonda .Funkhouser @VDOT.Virginia.gov] on behalf of Ingram, Lloyd [Lloyd.I ngram@VDOT.Virginia.gov] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 3:12 PM To: Jill Fries Cc: Ingram, Lloyd; Eric Lawrence; Copp, Jerry Subject: 1932 Senseny Road Rezoning - Ervin Development - CVS Pharmacy The documentation within the application to rezone this property appears to have significant measurable impact on Routes 657 and 656. These route are the VDOT roadways which has been considered as the access to the property referenced. VDOT has reviewed the transportation proffers offered in the rezoning application. While the applicant has attempted to mitigate the traffic impacts, there still is the possibility that there is insufficient left turn stacking room on north bound Route 656 at the intersection of Route 657. The applicant's parcel lacks sufficient depth to allow for adequate right -of -way dedication to elevate the stacking situation. All other impacts appear to have been adequately addressed. Before development, this office will require a complete set of construction plans detailing entrance designs, drainage features, and traffic flow data from the I.T.E. Trip Generation Manual Seventh Edition for review. VDOT reserves the right to comment on all right -of -way needs, including right -of -way dedications, traffic signalization, and off -site roadway improvements and drainage. Any work performed on the State's right -of -way must be covered under a land use permit. This permit is issued by this office and requires an inspection fee and surety bond coverage. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to comment. Lloyd A.
