The architectural standards shall apply to all buildings. The Owner further agrees that 50% of the façades will be brick, stone, or other similar masonry construction. 7. Intersections with the Existing Road Network. In order to maintain the most efficient flow of traffic possible within the road network, the development shall limit its access to the existing network of private and public roads in the following manner: A. Cedar Grove Road (Route 607) Entrance. A right in/ right out into the site shall be provided on Route 607 in the general location identified as intersection “A” on the Concept Plan or in an alternative location along Route 607 as may be acceptable to the Director of Zoning and Planning. A left out at this intersection may be approved by VDOT at the time of site plan approval. If, at some point in the future, VDOT and Greene County determined that it is in the public interest to convert this entrance into a four-way intersection to allow a continuation of the Parallel Road north of Route 607, then the Owner shall agree to grant permission for this conversion. However, the Owner shall not bear any costs associated with the conversion. B. Seminole Trail (Route 29) Intersections. The development shall be limited to two (2) full movement intersections. The first intersection shall be at the existing Enderly Acres entrance and will maintain access to the existing cross-over on Route 29 at the Heatherton Drive. This intersection is identified as intersection “B1” on the Concept

3 Plan. The second intersection shall be in the southern portion of the Property in the location generally identified as intersection “B3” on the Concept Plan and shall align with the future signalized entrance to the proposed Rapidan Shopping Center. If, during the site plan review process, it can be demonstrated to meet all VDOT regulations, a right in/ right out entrance shall be allowed on Route 29 in the location generally identified as intersection “B2” on the Concept Plan. C. Connection to the Enderly Acres Subdivision at Heatherton Drive. The development shall provide access from Heatherton Drive to the Parallel Road in the location generally identified as intersection “C” on the Concept Plan or in an alternative location along Heatherton Drive as may be acceptable to the Director of Zoning and Planning. 8. Parallel Road. In order to establish the planned network of roads in the area around the Route 607/ 29 intersection, the Owner shall create a Parallel Road to Route 29 between the Cedar Grove Road Entrance (intersection “A”) and the proposed signalized intersection on Route 29 (intersection “B3”). This road shall be built to VDOT Standards and shall include the following minimum standards: A. The road shall be twenty-six (26) feet (face of curb to face of curb) in width if parking is restricted, or up to thirty-eight (38) feet (face of curb to face of curb) in width if parking is allowed. B. In order to facilitate the free flow of traffic along the Parallel Road, no left turning movements from the Parallel Road into the development’s parking lots shall be allowed within two-hundred fifty (250) feet from either Route 607 or Rt. 29 travel lanes. Furthermore, internal to the site, the minimum separation for left turn movements from the Parallel Road into the development’s parking lots shall be no less than two-hundred fifty (250) feet, unless a dedicated left-turning lane is provided. The minimum separation of entrances “right-in” or “right-out” turning movements, either onto or from the Parallel Road, may be less than specified herein. C. The Owner shall provide a sidewalk on at least one side of the street. The Owner shall build the entire Parallel Road prior to the completion of fifty (50%) of the area of the site. Upon completion of the construction, the road shall be dedicated to public use if accepted by VDOT. 9. Route 607 and Route 29 Intersection Improvements. In order to accommodate the future improvements anticipated by VDOT in the Route 607/ Route 29 corridors, the Owner proffers the following: A. Pro Rata Contribution Towards Future Intersection Improvements. As part of VDOT’s’ and Greene County’s study of and improvements to the intersection of Route 29 and Route 607, an area which is limited to approximately 1,000 feet in each direction from the intersection, the Owner agrees to pay their pro rata share of the improvements to be constructed at the aforesaid intersection. The development’s pro rata contribution is calculated by using the percentage of the development’s projected contribution to PM Peak Traffic in the intersection, which is 7.79% of the

4 intersection’s total future traffic forecast in the traffic impact analysis, multiplied by VDOT’s estimated cost for the improvements, which is eleven million three hundred thousand dollars ($11.3 million) in 2012 dollars. Thus, the base pro rata share figure is eight-hundred-eighty-thousand two-hundred-seventy ($880,270) dollars. The Owner’s contributions, which are defined below, shall be credited towards the $880,270 at the time those contributions are provided. If any remaining portion of the base pro rata share that has not been credited by December 31, 2012, it shall be increased on December 31st on each subsequent year by either the increase in the Consumer Price Index for that given year or five percent (5%), whichever is less, to cover costs of inflation. B. Right of way dedication along Route 607 and Route 29. In order to accommodate the future improvements along Route 607 and Route 29, the Owner shall dedicate: i. Approximately twenty-four (24) feet of additional right of way along the Rt. 607 frontage such that the expanded amount of right of way shall be provide a total of fifty (50) feet of right of way as measured from the existing Rt. 607 centerline as it exists on date of these proffers are approved. ii. Approximately twenty (20) feet of additional right of way along the Rt. 29 frontage such that the expanded amount of right of way shall be increased to a width of forty (40) feet as measured from the existing edge of pavement as it exists on date of these proffers are approved. This dedication shall occur with the approval of the first site plan for the development. C. Credit Towards the Pro Rata Share. The following items shall count towards the Owner’s obligated pro rata contribution: i. Credit for the appraised value of the dedicated right of way and easements associated with the construction of additional lanes on Route 607 or the additional southbound lane on U.S. Route 29. ii. Credit for the construction of physical improvements related to the Route 29/ Route 607 intersection, which include, but is not limited to, the construction of the additional southbound lane on U.S. Route 29 or additional lanes on Route 607, grading for these lanes, relocation of existing utilities, etc. iii. To determine the appraised value for the right of way/ easement dedications and/ or costs for the physical improvements, Owner shall provide an appraisal of the dedications and/ or bids for physical improvements during the plat and/ or site plan review process, but prior to the approval of the plat and/or site plan. VDOT and the Owner will in good faith negotiate to an agreed upon value that is satisfactory to both parties, in the event that they fail to agree, the issue will be arbitrated. iv. Credit for cash contribution. The Owner may elect to make a cash contribution for all or a portion of the remaining balance of the pro rata share

5 at any time. Alternatively, Greene County may require the Owner to contribute the remaining balance to Greene County, if VDOT has an approved set of right of way plans for the portions of Route 29 or Route 607 which are adjacent to the development. If Greene County elects to require the developer to make a cash contribution for the remaining balance, it shall notify the Owner in writing at least one-hundred eight (180) day prior to requiring payment. D. If VDOT and Greene County should not complete the study and/ or the improvements proposed for the Route 29/ Route 607 intersection by December 31, 2019, then the Owner’s obligations to contribute a pro rata share shall be null and void and all cash contributions shall be refunded to the Owner. E. Turn lane improvements shall be constructed at each connection to Route 29 as recommended in the Traffic Impact Analysis. Note: The Owner shall not receive credit for any right of way or the cost of the physical improvements associated with turn and taper lanes that are necessitated by the project. 10. Signalization of Intersection “B3”. The Owner shall construct all lane improvements and install any signalization equipment associated with the western leg of the signalized Rapidan Shopping Center intersection (intersection “B3”). 11. Phasing of Transportation Improvements. In recognition that portion of the development may well be phased, the physical transportation improvements in Proffers 7, 8, 9 and 10 shall be provided in a manner that coincides with the portion of the site that is being developed or as define within these proffers, whichever is appropriate. Additionally, any cash contributions required of the Owner shall be proportionate to the percentage area of the site that is developed relative to the total area subject to this rezoning. 12. Stormwater Management. The Owner shall provide on-site stormwater detention consistent with the requirements of the Greene County Stormwater Ordinance and VSMP/ SWPP as shown on the Concept Plan. The Owner agrees to use low impact design features where deemed feasible and where engineering allows its effective use. The Owner recognizes that low impact design is an effective tool and promotes good conservation practices. The Owner will work with Greene County and the Soil and Water Conservation staff on this initiative.
