Mr. Ruddy,
Please accept this rezoning on behalf of Keven and John Omps for public
hearing. After waiting several months in vain for one particular review agency, I am
moving this project is moving forward.
I have sent this rezoning and accompanying traffic impact analysis provided by
Stowe Engineering to the review agencies and received the following:
• Winchester Regional Airport - No impact.
• Frederick County Fire Marshal - Recommend approval
• Clear Brook Fire Chief - hand delivered on July 27, 2011, no response.
• Historic Resources Advisory Board - No significant impact
• Frederick County Health Department - No objections
• Frederick County Parks and Recreation - No comment
• Frederick County Public Schools - No comment
Frederick - Winchester Service Authority - No comment
Frederick County Sanitation Authority - Water and Sewer issues to be further
worked out at Master Development and Site Plan stages for connections and
possible pressure pumps.
Frederick County Public Works - No comments on rezoning. Would like a
statement regarding the closure of any drain fields or wells on the Master Plan.
• Frederick County Attorney - See attached comments and reply.
• Frederick County Transportation Planner - See attached comments and reply'
Virginia Department of Transportation - Comments were offered on TIA and
Proffers. Reply was sent on September 14, 2011. Per VDOT's Chapter 527
requirements, any application not acted on after 90 days is deemed approved. It
has been 114 days without reply.
Thank you,

VDOT staff has reviewed the revised Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) received September 22, 2011. This submittal
has still not yet adequately addressed our initial TIA comments dated September 6, 2011. As such, we
considered this an insufficient resubmittal. Our previous concerns with this rezoning still stand as shown
below.
We will be glad to discuss any further comments or concerns you may have.

Subject: Snowden Bridge Station - VDOT Comments to Rezoning
The documentation within the application to rezone this property appears to have significant
measurable impact on Route 11 and proposed Snowden Bridge Boulevard. These are the roadways
which has been considered as the access to the property referenced.
VDOT is not satisfied that the transportation proffers offered in the Snowden Bridge Station Rezoning
Application dated July 18, 2011 address transportation concerns associated with this request.
Specifically, we have the following comments:
1. The proffers should include construction of pedestrian and bike accommodations. The
extension of Snowden Bridge Boulevard from its current stub end should include sidewalks and bike
accommodations on both sides of the road, which would match up with what was built on the
existing stub and what was recently built on Merchant Street.
2. Transportation Proffer #l.c
We have concerns with the close proximity of the traffic signal to the Route 11
intersection and do not see this proffer as a transportation enhancement in its current
form. The proffer is also very vague as to what is included under " signalization
improvements ". If a signal is not justified, will value of such be used in other
transportation improvements in the corridor. Current proffers do not provide mitigation
for forecasted failing level of services at I -81 ramps as noted in the TIA or funds to
achieve the Redbud Relocation as assumed in the TIA.
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.

Subj: Snowden Bridge Station - VDOT Comments to TIA
Date: 9/6/2011 9:27:31 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time
From: Matthew .Smith(a)vdot.virginia.gov

We have completed our review of Snowden Bridge Station's TIA dated June 29, 2011. Our comments are as
follows:
1. Existing traffic counts (which we understand were previously collected for the Graystone TIS) should be
included as an Appendix to the TIA.
2. On page 4, Martinsburg Pike is misidentified as a rural arterial roadway. It is actually an urban minor
arterial.
3. The TIA needs to include a site plan of the proposed site, including the access point as well as the
proposed parking lot and building location(s). The supporting documentation submitted in addition to
the TIA included a zoning map, however, there was no information on entrances, buildings or parking lot
layout. We may have additional comments on this TIA after reviewing the site plan.
4. Depending on the site plan, we may recommend a different land use other than LU 710 (for example, LU
750). It is difficult to tell at this point whether the intention is for a single building or a few smaller
buildings. Note that, as per the ITE Manual, if this development is going to be comprised of multiple
office buildings unrelated to each other (i.e. occupied by multiple tenants instead of a single tenant
spread across multiple buildings) then the trip generation calculations should be done separately for each
building and then summed.
5. It appears that the trip generation calculations were based on an independent variable of 225,000 SF of
gross floor area, however no information is provided to back up that assumption. The TIA does note that
there is 9.1 acres of usable acreage available, but more information is needed on how the usable acreage
was converted into gross floor area. The site plan requested in comment 3 should show the office
buildings and their square footage. Also, note that Table 413 of the TIA never actually spells out that the
value "225" refers to 1000 SF GFA.
6. Using the ITE LU equation and 225,000 SF of office building, we calculate 331 total trips for the PM peak
hour, not 359. Because this discrepancy is minor the TIA does not need to be revised unless the other
comments on this TIA end up affecting the trip generation calculations.
7. There are several locations where we measured storage lengths as less that what was encoded into
Synchro. For example, at the 1 -81 SB off -ramps intersection we measure the WB left turn lane as being
150', not 250', and the SB right turn lane as being 90', not 300'. Note that the taper lengths should not be
included in these measurements. In addition, for channelized "porkchop" right -turn lanes, the critical
distance is measured in the adjacent thru lane (in other words, if the thru lane queues up beyond a
certain point then vehicles will be prevented from entering the channelized right turn lane).
8. The existing PHF's per intersection should be used when analyzing the existing conditions. The
assumption used for future year conditions (0.92 PHF at all intersections) is correct.
9. Some intersections appear to be coded with incorrect signal phasing:
a. At the 1 -81 SB Ramps intersection and the 1 -81 NB On- Ramp /Red Bud Road intersection, all left turn
Thursday, January 05, 2012 AOL: GreyWolfefnc
0 0 Page 2 of 3
movements are coded in as protected /permitted phasing. However, it appears that those signals
actually operate with protected /prohibited phasing.
b. At the 1 -81 NB Off -Ramp intersection, the EB and WB Martinsburg Pike thru movements are coded
as split phase (i.e. EB and WB movements do not move simultaneously). This is incorrect. This has
a significant effect on the capacity calculations at this intersection.
c. At the future 1 -81 NB Ramps signal (after the existing off -ramp is relocated), the capacity analysis
should assume protected /prohibited phasing for all left turn movements.
10. Some green times are incorrectly coded as per existing signal timings. For example, at the 1 -81 SB Ramps
intersection, the total cycle length is 90 seconds (19 seconds for Phase 1 +6, 32 seconds for Phase 2 =6, and
39 seconds for Phase 4) not 109 seconds.
11. The TIA should include a turn lane warrant analysis, particularly to determine if a right turn lane is
warranted on Snowden Bridge Road for turning onto the new site entrance (Ezra Lane).
12. The site plan should include sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity from the site to Snowden Bridge
Boulevard. In addition, the proposed traffic signal at Snowden Bridge Blvd & realigned Red Bud
Road /Ezra Lane should include crosswalks and pedestrian indications. The extension of Snowden Bridge
Blvd from its current stub end should include sidewalks on both sides of the road, which would match up
with what was built on the existing stub and what was recently built on Merchant Street.
13. It appears that the new traffic signal will be approximately 650 feet from the existing traffic signal at
Martinsville Pike & Merchant St /Snowden Bridge Blvd. Our understanding is that this new road is being
designed with a 45 mph design speed (35 mph posted speed limit) and is being considered a primary road
(i.e. urban minor arterial) since it will eventually connect to the future Route 37 Winchester Bypass.
VDOT Access Management Standards (in the Road Design Manual, Appendix F) requires 1050' spacing
between signalized intersections on urban minor arterials. The new signal will be well shy of that.
14. Existing ADT volumes shown on Figure 4 don't match VDOT published traffic data. Example: Rte 11
Martinsburg Pike West of 81 is shown at 34,170, VDOT data shows 13,000.
15. The site distribution percentages in Figure 8 do not exactly match the site - generated traffic in Figure 9. It
appears this is because the consultant incorrectly assigned a small amount of traffic to /from the site from
Merchant Street and from Red Bud Road. Because this only causes minor errors in traffic volumes, the
TIA does not need to be revised unless the other comments on this TIA end up affecting these
calculations.
16. The proposed mitigations do not address the forecasted failing Levels of Service at the 1 -81 SB Ramps
intersection and the realigned Martinsburg Pike & 1 -81 NB Ramps intersection.
17. The TIA is based on the assumption that Snowden Bridge Blvd, the Red Bud Road realignment, and the I-
81 NB off -ramp relocation /widening will all be constructed prior to the opening of Snowden Bridge
Station. Our understanding is that Snowden Bridge Blvd is due to begin construction this year, but there
are no projects on the current VDOT Six -Year Plan to construct any of the improvements at the 1 -81
interchange.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to give me a call.

We have reviewed your comments and offer the following responses
1. Existing traffic counts (which we understand were previously collected for the Graystone TIS) should be
included as an Appendix to the TIA.
Existing traffic counts were requested from Greenway Engineering but have not been provided. It is
understood that these are in the Department's possession with the Graystone rezoning TIA.
2. On page 4, Martinsburg Pike is misidentified as a rural arterial roadway. It is actually an urban minor
arterial.
Agreed
The TIA needs to include a site plan of the proposed site, including the access point as well as the proposed
parking lot and building location(s). The supporting documentation submitted in addition to the TIA
included a zoning map, however, there was no information on entrances, buildings or parking lot layout.
We may have additional comments on this TIA after reviewing the site plan.
Site plan is not a required part of submittal.
4. Depending on the site plan, we may recommend a different land use other than LU 710 (for example, LU
750). It is difficult to tell at this point whether the intention is for a single building or a few smaller
buildings. Note that, as per the ITE Manual, if this development is going to be comprised of multiple office
buildings unrelated to each other (i.e. occupied by multiple tenants instead of a single tenant spread
across multiple buildings) then the trip generation calculations should be done separately for each building
and then summed.
Land use and trip generation is as prescribed by Frederick County.
5. It appears that the trip generation calculations were based on an independent variable of 225,000 SF of
gross floor area, however no information is provided to back up that assumption. The TIA does note that
there is 9.1 acres of usable acreage available, but more information is needed on how the usable acreage
was converted into gross floor area. The site plan requested in comment 3 should show the office
buildings and their square footage. Also, note that Table 4B of the TIA never actually spells out that the

included in these measurements. In addition, for channelized "porkchop" right -turn lanes, the critical
distance is measured in the adjacent thru lane (in other words, if the thru lane queues up beyond a certain
point then vehicles will be prevented from entering the channelized right turn lane).
Queue lengths based on measurements from aerial photos and actual traffic operations.
8. The existing PHF's per intersection should be used when analyzing the existing conditions. The assumption
used for future year conditions (0.92 PHF at all intersections) is correct.
Existing Peak Hour Factors from Graystone TIA were used as requested by VDOT This has no impact on
the design year outcome and recommendations.
9. Some intersections appear to be coded with incorrect signal phasing:
At the 1 -81 SB Ramps intersection and the 1 -81 NB On- Ramp /Red Bud Road intersection, all left turn
movements are coded in as protected /permitted phasing. However, it appears that those signals
actually operate with protected /prohibited phasing.
Existing signals on Route 11 allow left turn on green arrow and green ball to 1 -81
b. At the 1 -81 NB Off -Ramp intersection, the EB and WB Martinsburg Pike thru movements are coded
as split phase (i.e. EB and WB movements do not move simultaneously). This is incorrect. This has a
significant effect on the capacity calculations at this intersection.
Signals coded based on timing plans provided by VDOT Future signals optimized in model.
c. At the future 1 -81 NB Ramps signal (after the existing off -ramp is relocated), the capacity analysis
should assume protected /prohibited phasing for all left turn movements.
Information has not been provided indicating a proposed change in the left turn from Route 11 to
1 -81.
10. Some green times are incorrectly coded as per existing signal timings. For example, at the 1 -81 SB Ramps
intersection, the total cycle length is 90 seconds (19 seconds for Phase 1 +6, 32 seconds for Phase 2 -6, and
39 seconds for Phase 4) not 109 seconds.
This has no effect on the findings and /or recommendations of this report as the existing year is 2010.
11. The TIA should include a turn lane warrant analysis, particularly to determine if a right turn lane is
warranted on Snowden Bridge Road for turning onto the new site entrance (Ezra Lane).
Turn lane warrant analysis will be completed with site plan.
12. The site plan should include sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity from the site to Snowden Bridge
Boulevard. In addition, the proposed traffic signal at Snowden Bridge Blvd & realigned Red Bud Road /Ezra
Lane should include crosswalks and pedestrian indications. The extension of Snowden Bridge Blvd from its
current stub end should include sidewalks on both sides of the road, which would match up with what was
built on the existing stub and what was recently built on Merchant Street.
These items will be addressed in the site plan and coordinated with Frederick County.

VDOT Access Management Standards (in the Road Design Manual, Appendix F) requires 1050' spacing
between signalized intersections on urban minor arterials. The new signal will be well shy of that.
I assume Martinsville Pike is actually referring to Martinsburg Pike. Regardless, this property will be land
locked without this access. Access from Route 11 is neither practical nor desirable. This access point is the
only viable location and has been planned by Frederick County as can be seen on the Comprehensive Plan
map. It appears on exception is needed for this connection.
14. Existing ADT volumes shown on Figure 4 don't match VDOT published traffic data. Example: Rte 11
Martinsburg Pike West of 81 is shown at 34,170, VDOT data shows 13,000.
It appears the referenced VDOT data may precede the opening of the Rutherford Crossing commercial
area. The existing ADT volumes from the Groystone rezoning were used in this study as prescribed by
VDOT.
15. The site distribution percentages in Figure 8 do not exactly match the site - generated traffic in Figure 9. It
appears this is because the consultant incorrectly assigned a small amount of traffic to /from the site from
Merchant Street and from Red Bud Road. Because this only causes minor errors in traffic volumes, the TIA
does not need to be revised unless the other comments on this TIA end up affecting these calculations.
Agreed. It appears the concern is focused on 10 vehicles, which will not change the outcome or
recommendations of this report.
16. The proposed mitigations do not address the forecasted failing Levels of Service at the 1 -81 SB Ramps
intersection and the realigned Martinsburg Pike & 1 -81 NB Ramps intersection.
As presented in the report, the regional solutions being advanced by VDOT and Frederick County (1 -81
improvements and Route 37) will address the 1 -81 ramp intersections.
17. The TIA is based on the assumption that Snowden Bridge Blvd, the Red Bud Road realignment, and the 1 -81
NB off -ramp relocation /widening will all be constructed prior to the opening of Snowden Bridge Station.
Our understanding is that Snowden Bridge Blvd is due to begin construction this year, but there are no
projects on the current VDOT Six -Year Plan to construct any of the improvements at the 1 -81 interchange.
The timing of all projects is dependent upon the economy. Snowden Bridge Blvd has been approved for
construction, and must be completed before Red Bud Road can be realigned. This is a priority for Frederick
County and these projects are moving forward based on information provided by Frederick County.
We respectfully request your concurrence and acceptance of the Traffic Impact Study.

Subject: Snowden Bridge Station - VDOT Comments to TIA
We have completed our review of Snowden Bridge Station's TIA dated June 29, 2011. Our comments are
as follows:
18. Existing traffic counts (which we understand were previously collected for the Graystone TIS)
should be included as an Appendix to the TIA.
19. On page 4, Martinsburg Pike is misidentified as a rural arterial roadway. It is actually an urban
minor arterial.
20. The TIA needs to include a site plan of the proposed site, including the access point as well as the
proposed parking lot and building location(s). The supporting documentation submitted in
addition to the TIA included a zoning map, however, there was no information on entrances,
buildings or parking lot layout. We may have additional comments on this TIA after reviewing the
site plan.
21. Depending on the site plan, we may recommend a different land use other than LU 710 (for
example, LU 750). It is difficult to tell at this point whether the intention is for a single building or
a few smaller buildings. Note that, as per the ITE Manual, if this development is going to be
comprised of multiple office buildings unrelated to each other (i.e. occupied by multiple tenants
instead of a single tenant spread across multiple buildings) then the trip generation calculations
should be done separately for each building and then summed.
22. It appears that the trip generation calculations were based on an independent variable of
225,000 SF of gross floor area, however no information is provided to back up that assumption.
The TIA does note that there is 9.1 acres of usable acreage available, but more information is
needed on how the usable acreage was converted into gross floor area. The site plan requested
in comment 3 should show the office buildings and their square footage. Also, note that Table 4B
of the TIA never actually spells out that the value "225" refers to 1000 SF GFA.
23. Using the ITE LU equation and 225,000 SF of office building, we calculate 331 total trips for the
PM peak hour, not 359. Because this discrepancy is minor the TIA does not need to be revised
unless the other comments on this TIA end up affecting the trip generation calculations.
24. There are several locations where we measured storage lengths as less that what was encoded
into Synchro. For example, at the 1 -81 SB off -ramps intersection we measure the WB left turn
lane as being 150', not 250', and the SB right turn lane as being 90', not 300'. Note that the taper
lengths should not be included in these measurements. In addition, for channelized "porkchop"
right -turn lanes, the critical distance is measured in the adjacent thru lane (in other words, if the
thru lane queues up beyond a certain point then vehicles will be prevented from entering the
channelized right turn lane).
25. The existing PHF's per intersection should be used when analyzing the existing conditions. The
assumption used for future year conditions (0.92 PHF at all intersections) is correct.
26. Some intersections appear to be coded with incorrect signal phasing:
Thursday, January 05, 2012 AOL: GreyWolfeInc
0 0 Page 5 of 6
a. At the 1 -81 SB Ramps intersection and the 1 -81 NB On- Ramp /Red Bud Road intersection,
all left turn movements are coded in as protected /permitted phasing. However, it
appears that those signals actually operate with protected /prohibited phasing.
b. At the 1 -81 NB Off -Ramp intersection, the EB and WB Martinsburg Pike thru movements
are coded as split phase (i.e. EB and WB movements do not move simultaneously). This is
incorrect. This has a significant effect on the capacity calculations at this intersection.
c. At the future 1 -81 NB Ramps signal (after the existing off -ramp is relocated), the capacity
analysis should assume protected /prohibited phasing for all left turn movements.
27. Some green times are incorrectly coded as per existing signal timings. For example, at the 1 -81
SB Ramps intersection, the total cycle length is 90 seconds (19 seconds for Phase 1 +6, 32 seconds
for Phase 2 =6, and 39 seconds for Phase 4) not 109 seconds.
28. The TIA should include a turn lane warrant analysis, particularly to determine if a right turn lane
is warranted on Snowden Bridge Road for turning onto the new site entrance (Ezra Lane).
29. The site plan should include sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity from the site to Snowden
Bridge Boulevard. In addition, the proposed traffic signal at Snowden Bridge Blvd & realigned
Red Bud Road /Ezra Lane should include crosswalks and pedestrian indications. The extension of
Snowden Bridge Blvd from its current stub end should include sidewalks on both sides of the
road, which would match up with what was built on the existing stub and what was recently built
on Merchant Street.
30. It appears that the new traffic signal will be approximately 650 feet from the existing traffic signal
at Martinsville Pike & Merchant St /Snowden Bridge Blvd. Our understanding is that this new
road is being designed with a 45 mph design speed (35 mph posted speed limit) and is being
considered a primary road (i.e. urban minor arterial) since it will eventually connect to the future
Route 37 Winchester Bypass.
VDOT Access Management Standards (in the Road Design Manual, Appendix F) requires 1050'
spacing between signalized intersections on urban minor arterials. The new signal will be well
shy of that.
31. Existing ADT volumes shown on Figure 4 don't match VDOT published traffic data. Example: Rte
11 Martinsburg Pike West of 81 is shown at 34,170, VDOT data shows 13,000.
32. The site distribution percentages in Figure 8 do not exactly match the site - generated traffic in
Figure 9. It appears this is because the consultant incorrectly assigned a small amount of traffic
to /from the site from Merchant Street and from Red Bud Road. Because this only causes minor
errors in traffic volumes, the TIA does not need to be revised unless the other comments on this
TIA end up affecting these calculations.
33. The proposed mitigations do not address the forecasted failing Levels of Service at the 1 -81 SB
Ramps intersection and the realigned Martinsburg Pike & 1 -81 NB Ramps intersection.
34. The TIA is based on the assumption that Snowden Bridge Blvd, the Red Bud Road realignment,
and the 1 -81 NB off -ramp relocation /widening will all be constructed prior to the opening of
Snowden Bridge Station. Our understanding is that Snowden Bridge Blvd is due to begin

construction this year, but there are no projects on the current VDOT Six -Year Plan to construct any
of the improvements at the 1 -81 interchange.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to give me a call.

Re: Rezoning Application, Parcel Numbers 43 -A -143, 43 -A -144, 43 -A -145, 43 -A-
146, and 43 -A -147 (collectively, the "Properties "), K & J Investments, LLC and
North Stephenson, Inc. (collectively, the "Applicants ")
— Proffer Statement dated July 18, 2011
Dear Gary:
You have submitted to Frederick County for review a proposed proffer statement.dated
July 18, 2011 (the "Proffer Statement ") for the proposed rezoning of 5.973 acres from the RA
(Rural Areas) District and 5.832 acres from the RP (Residential Performance) District to the M 1
(Light Industrial) District, constituting properties of K & J Investments, LLC, Parcel
Identification Numbers 43 -A -144 and 43 -A -146, K & J, LLC, Parcel Identification Number 43-
A -145, and North Stephenson, Inc., Parcel Identification Numbers 44 -A -143 and 44 -A -147, in
the Stonewall Magisterial District. I have now reviewed the Proffer Statement and it is my
opinion that the Proffer Statement would. be in a form to meet the requirements of the Frederick
�"nty Zor ng Ordinance acid the Code of Virginia and would be legally sufficient as a proffer
statement, subject to the following comments:
1. As an initial matter, the identities of the owners of Parcel Numbers 43 -A -144, 43 -A-
145, and 43 -A -146 need to be clarified and their respective entity statuses updated.
a. Specifically, with respect to Numbers 43 -A -144 and 43 -A -146, while "K & J
Investments, LLC" is the record owner of those parcels (though the deed also
incorrectly identifies it as "K & J Investements, LLC "), no entity under such
name has ever been organized under Virginia law, according to the records of the
State Corporation Commission. An entity under the name "K & J Investments,
LC" does currently exist in Virginia and appears that it may consist of the same
principals.
107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601
Gary R. Oates, LS -B, PE
August15,2011
Page 2
r
b.. Likewise, with respect to Number 43 -A -145, while "K & J, LLC" is the ownerof
that parcel, the'State Corporation Commission purged its records of that entity s
existence effective December 31, 2007.
c. Also, the description of the title origins in the second paragraph on page 1 of the
Proffer St ate iri vii t is incorrect. Instrument Number 070013928 conveyed Parcel.
Number 43 -A -142, which is not proposed to be part of the rezoning, to K & J
Investments,rLLC. The description does not show the title origin of the two North
Stephenson, Inc. parcels, Numbers 43 -A -143 and 43 -A -147.
2. The signature block for the Proffer Statement and the signatures on any power of:, 1
attorney (or the application) need to reflect the correct corporate owners of the parcels
and;.then, the capacities in which the individuals are acting on behalf of those entities.
._.._ _.
3. The diagram attached to the Proffer Statement does not "state that it is the Generalized
Development Plan.( "GDP "). If it is the GDP, it should so state.
4. The requested rezoning area appears to split Parcel Numbers 43 -A -143 and 43 -A -147
and possibly 43 =A -144. In light of this, the GDP needs to show the metes and bounds
of the requested rezoning area.
5. Proffer La. The Proffer does not indicate whether Ezra Lane will be a public or
private road. If'it:is to be a public road, the Proffer does not state any timing for its
dedication. Also, the Proffer should state the specific width of the right -of -way.
6. Proffer 1.b. - The Proffer does not indicate the timing of the dedication of the
easement. Depending upon the final engineering of Snowden Bridge Boulevard, the
Proffer may need to make clear, through the GDP, the exact placement of the
easement. Also, staff will likely need to examine whether the Applicants' suggested
placement of Snowden Bridge Boulevard is correct and whether the Proffer should
address dedication of any right -of -way for Snowden Bridge Boulevard.
7. Proffer Lc — The Proffer should clearly state that the Applicants will install the
warranted signalization improvements, as specified by VDOT, within a specific time
after VDOT determining the signalization improvements to be warranted.
I have not reviewed the substance of the protfers as to whetner the proffers, are suiiauic .
and 'appropriate for this specific development, as it is my understanding that that review will be
done by staff, and the -Planning Commission.

RE: Request for Historic Resources Advisory Board (HRAB) Comments
Snowden Bridge Station Property Rezoning; PINS: 43-A-143,144, 145, 146, and 147
Zoning District: Current Zoning RA & RP, Proposed Zoning M -1
Dear Mr. Oates:
Upon review of the proposed rezoning, it appears that the proposal does not significantly impact
historic resources and it is not necessary to schedule a formal review of the rezoning application by
the HRAB. According to the Rural Landmarks Survey, there are no significant historic structures
located on the properties nor are there any possible historic districts in the vicinity. It is noted that
the National Park Service Study of Civil War Sites in the Shenandoah Valley does identify this
property as being located within the study area of the Second and Third (Opequon) Battles of
Winchester. However, the general vicinity of this site is identified by the Study as having lost its
integrity.
Thank you for the chance to comment on this application. Please call if you have any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,

Winchester, VA 22601
Subject: Snowden Bridge Station
Mr. Bishop,
I have given up on VDOT reply to this application. It has been over 90 days, in
fact now it has been 114 days. I am proceeding with the rezoning. In regards to your
comments dated August 24, 2011.
1. In regards to completed streets, the property that will contain Snowden Bridge
Blvd was rezoned in application #03 -05. The properties contained in this rezoning
do not touch Snowden Bridge Blvd can only access it via Ezra Lane. The road
design is being handled now by Graystone, as you know, and my clients will
dedicate whatever right of way is necessary. As far as sidewalks and trails, I will
consult with you during the Master Plan and they will be constructed at Site Plan
stage. Our ordinance requires this, so I am not proposing a proffer to construct
something we are required to do anyway.
2. I understand your concern about the traffic light location. A round -about was
explored and deemed unbuildable due to the bridge crossing with its approach
grade. Whether this rezoning occurs or not, the inevitability of this light
placement has been created by the Graystone, Stephenson Village, and previous
Omps rezoning. Also, the Northeast Road Plan indicates this location for a
collector running parallel with Route 11 North in order to improve access
management in the future. We have to access the public roads somewhere; at
least this rezoning is covering the cost of the light and we are not proposing
direct access to Route 11.
Thank you,
�� Cl

Subject: omps comment
County transportation staff has reviewed the TIA and proffers for the proposed rezoning and has the following
comments to offer.
1. The County's adopted comprehensive plan calls for complete streets throughout the county. Complete streets
consider all potential users of the transportation system. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements should be
included along the frontage consistent with what has been put in place at Rutherford Crossing and is planned to
be put in on the Graystone development.
2. Staff is very concerned that the levels of traffic from this proposed development would require a signal at the
intersection with Snowden Bridge blvd. Spacing for this proposed signal from the intersection of Snowden
Bridge and Route 11 would be well below VDCT spacing standards. Considering the importance of Snowden
Bridge Blvd in the County's transportation plan, situations that degrade overall capacity and do not meet
standards should be avoided. Development should be limited to a level that would not require a signal or else a
future right in /right out condition should be considered as alternatives to signalizing this entrance. In addition,
other access points should be considered as properties to the north develop in order to ease traffic pressures at
this point.
Thanks

Subject: Snowden Bridge Station
Mr. Williams,
After waiting several months for one particular review agency, this project is
moving forward once again. This letter is response to your comments dated August
15, 2001, to the proposed proffer statement dated July 18, 2011.
I have revised the proffers based on all review comments and discussions with
my client, and have sent them with this letter.
1. Your first comment was in regards to the identities and the various parcels
submitted for rezoning. There were parcels that were deeded to my clients with
errors in the grantees identity. My clients consulted an attorney and have
recorded the corrected instruments at the courthouse. I have attached copies of
these instruments for your review. I have also presented the parcels with their
legal references in an easier to follow format.
2. The signature block has been updated to reflect the title of Keven and John
Omps.
3. The exhibit (diagram) is not a Generalized Development Plan.
4. A rezoning plat (survey) has been submitted to clarify the portion of properties to
be rezoned.
S. Proffer I.a. has been revised to clarify that it will be a public road and dedicated
to the County of Frederick when it meets VDOT acceptance criteria.
6. Proffer 1.1b. has been revised to clarify the proposed easement will be available to
the County of Frederick upon request. The location of Snowden Bridge Blvd is on
property owned my clients; however, the parcel is not part of this rezoning. The
right of way dedication was part of the proffer package of rezoning #03 -05.
7. Proffer 1.c. has been clarified to basically say when VDOT says it is needed, my
clients will build it.
Thank you,
�� r te-
