As you are aware, the cutoff date for the February 18, 2004 Planning Commission meeting was Friday, January 23, 2004; therefore, this application was not submitted in time for inclusion on the referenced Planning Commission agenda. Moreover, it is noted that preliminary comments were not obtained from the Department of Planning and Development in advance of submission, which is a departure from the established rezoning review process. It is noted that the subject application was submitted prior to the cut -off date for the March 3, 2004 Planning Commission meeting. This application will therefore be included as a public hearing item on the agenda of said meeting, and will be tentatively scheduled for a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors on March 24, 2004. The subject application is a request to rezone 1.17 acres zoned Rural Areas District (RA) to Business General District (B -2). The following issues are identified for your consideration: A. Application Form and Relevant Review Agencies 1. With the exception of comments from the Department of Planning and Development, all other review agency comments appear to be complete for this application. It is noted that the public works comment dated December 12, 2003, regarding storm water management for the two parcels, should be addressed within the Impact Analysis Statement as noted by Mr. Ed Strawsnider, Director of Engineering. Please clarify how storm water management would be addressed, should the two parcels be developed at different times. 107 North Kent Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000 Mr. Evan Wyatt February 11, 2004 Page 2 B. Proffer Statement Sincerely, Christopher M. Mohn, AICP Deputy Planning Director CMM/bad 2. The Frederick County Sanitation Authority chose to offer no comment regarding this rezoning petition. The Impact Analysis Statement should be clarified to state that the two parcels will be served by public sewer and water at the time of development. 1. The proffer statement appropriately includes access easements to provide pedestrian linkages to the parcels immediately north of parcel 64 -A -14, and directly south of parcel 64 -A -15. It is recommended that inter parcel connections enabling vehicular access between these same parcels be provided. Such inter parcel connectivity is important for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to ensure that the subject site is not isolated. but rather fully integrated with the surrounding parcels as a mixed use community, consistent with the vision of the South Frederick Land Use Plan (SFLUP). 2. Please consider including with this application a generalized development plan delineating the location of proposed inter parcel connections, buffers, and other general layout features. Thank you for your attention to the issues enumerated above. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns regarding this correspondence. cc: 'Eric R.
