owned the property. He further stated that at this time he
would like for the Board to give him the okay to remove these
accounts from the present tax rolls.
The Chairman asked if the Board could be given some addi-
tional time on this request, and if Board Members could be given
a copy of the list in order that they might review it before the

PENDING ISSUES
1. American's with Disabilities Act. Mr. Riley explained
that this was just a reminder to the Board that by November the
Board has to appoint a local ADA Board, and he would recommend
that this be composed of city and county citizens, and that the
Board might want to start to consider appointments and struc-
ture.
Mr. Dick requested that Mr. Riley discuss this with Mr.
Daley of the city and report back to the Board.
ACTIVITY REPORT - JULY 16-31. 1992 - RECEIVED AS INFORMATION
This is for the Board's information, however, Mr. Dick

522 SOUTH SURVEY RESULTS AND RECOMMENDED APPROACH TO AREA
FROM COMPREHENSIVE PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND PLAN-
NING COMMISSION - TO BE DISCUSSED WITH HEALTH DEPARTMENT
OFFICIALS IN A SCHEDULED MEETING
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee met Monday
night, August 3, 1992, to discuss the results of the Health
Department's Septic System Survey of the area around the 522
South, Route 644 intersection. The committee proposed that a
public meeting be held to inform residents that the county is
considering including the study area in the Urban Development
Area (UDA) and what the implications of this would be. It was
the consensus of the committee that the area should be added to
the UDA. The committee questioned whether this should be done
as soon as possible in the form of a special amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan or if it could wait until the next annual
Plan update to take place around the first of the year.
At the Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, August 5,
1992, the commission discussed the recommendation. It was their
conclusion that since the annual update of the Comprehensive
Plan is scheduled to take place by the first of the year, and
that the Sanitation Authority has stated it would take roughly
eighteen months to construct the required sewer lines once
funding is available, that there is no need for a special
amendment to the plan. The commission is proposing that one of
our regular fall public meetings on proposed revisions to the
Comprehensive Plan be held in this area of 522 to inform the
residents of the plan to include the area in the Urban Develop-
ment Area and the implications of this action.
L_
029
Mr. Kris Tierney appeared before the Board noting that this
material was being presented to the Board for their information,
and that no action was necessary at this time as he felt the
Board should wait until January when the Comprehensive Plan is
updated.
Mr. Sager asked if water and septic shouldn't be done at
the same time.
Mr. Tierney replied that yes that would make sense.
Mr. smith stated that these people do have a need, as he
had actually taken samples himself, and after twenty-four hours
there is nothing but sediment in the container. He further
stated that he would like for this Board to back the citizens on
Route 522 south, as well as backing him as their representative
to put this matter on the fast track, or front burner and see
what can be done for these citizens.
Mr. Riley explained that it has been reported recently,
that this project was delayed, this was not the case, we were
trying to get it added to the list. He further stated that the
same report stated that there was a 50 percent failure rate in
septic systems in this area, and that too was incorrect as it is
about 2 percent.
Mr. Longerbeam asked Mrs. Sherwood if in the Planning
commission discussions of this, if it had been discussed on how
this area was going to be designated, business corridor, etc.
Mrs. Sherwood replied, that yes lines have been drawn, and
this area has been looked at for years as a possible extension
to the urban development area, however they did not feel it was
the time, due to the amount of open land in this area a lot of
concern was expressed as to what would happen with growth.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that the reason for inclusion was not
due to failing septic systems though, but because it made good
sense from a planning standpoint.
Mr. Dick asked if it would not make sense to put these
lines in when 522 south is being done by VDOT.
Mr. Tierney replied, that he did not have all the informa-
tion before him, but if his memory serves him correctly that
030
particular section of 522 is still a couple of years down the
road in terms of when it would be widened.
Mr. Dick asked if the Board's intent was, to try and
coordinate all of this together.
Mr. Dick replied, that he thought it would certainly make
sense for it to be handled that way.
Mr. Tierney stated that he thought the water was tied to
that time schedule.
Mr. Dick stated that in the Health Department report he
noticed that they also tested in the Stephenson area, and it was
noted how long a septic system is useable, and with that figure
in mind I feel as a county we are looking at a real serious
problem down the road.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he certainly would hate to see
the urbanization of Frederick County be based on failing septic
systems, as he felt a case for that could be made in a lot of
different areas of the county, and as a policy matter, and feels
this would be very dangerous to make an assumption that failing
septic systems is tantamount to getting water and sewer, for if
that happens you know what we will be looking at, it will be
disastrous.
Mr. Dick stated that this was a real concern, and the Board
needed to find an answer or solution to the problem.
Mr. Riley stated that he felt the Planning Commission is
looking into possibly using package treatment plants in your
rural community development centers to try and solve these
problems.
Mr. Smith asked if there is a law that says, if you run
water and sewer that you have to rezone property to RP.
Mr. Tierney stated that the county does have certain areas
where they have extended water and sewer not servicing the urban
development area, specifically with that in mind, some of our
business corridors and the recent addition of Route 11 south as
a business corridor, would allow the extension of sewer and
water service for commercial and business uses, not residential
development.
L_
031
Mr. Sager asked if the Planning commission and the Sanita-
tion Authority pretty much had the same philosophy when it comes
to these hookups.
Mr. Tierney replied that he was not familiar enough with
that to really speak to it at this time.
Mr. Riley explained that the county does have an agreement
with the Sanitation Authority on the extension of utilities,
that they don't arbitrarily extend utilities in areas that
aren't planned for it.
Mr. Orndoff stated that he had a problem with the statement
made by the Health Department wherein they said that a septic
system is only good for about 20 years, as that is not true.
Mrs. Sherwood stated that she would like some answers from
the Health Department on what citizens are suppose to do when
their septic system does fail, in order to be able to
pass
this on to her constituents when asked.
Mr. Longerbeam suggested that perhaps a meeting should be
scheduled between this Board and the local Health Department.
Mr. Dick asked Mr. Riley to schedule such a meeting between
this board our state representatives and local health depart-
ment.
Mr. Smith referred to the section of the report wherein
they state that not all residents participated in the survey.
He further stated that from what he was able to gather, the
staff members of the health department had only so many hours to
do this survey, and it had nothing to do with citizens partici-
pation in this survey.
Upon motion made by W. Harrington Smith, Jr., seconded by
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr., that this request be submitted through
the proper channels with the Planning Commission and the Compre-
hensive Plan.
The above motion was passed by the following recorded vote:
Richard G. Dick - Aye
W. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Aye
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
Robert M. Sager - Aye
Beverly J. Sherwood - Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
ROAD NAME CHANGE REOUESTS - APPROVED
032
The Frederick County Road Naming Committee is continuing to
review road name change requests on a monthly basis. At the
July meeting, the committee decided on recommendations for the
requests currently on file and therefore submit these recommen-
dations to the board for action.
Recommendation for Approval:
The following road name requests have met the requirements
set forth by the board and the Road Naming Committee feels that
these changes would assist in clarifying street addressing:
1. FROM: Laurel Circle (Village at Lakeside)
TO: Laurel Hill Drive
2. FROM: Forest Ridge Road (Brookneill)
TO: Horseshoe Circle
(1st and 2nd requests of Pheasant refused because of
duplication. )
3. FROM: Smoky Hollow Road (Green Acres)
TO: Fairway Drive
(Reversing name change, Smoky Hollow Road may have
been a mistake in the original project)
4. FROM: pulpit Circle
TO: Rocky Top Lane
5. FROM: Hot Slate Lane
TO: Slate Lane
6. FROM: Dunmovin Lane
TO: Amberwood Lane
(1st request of Rustic Lane refused because of dupli-
cation)
7. FROM: Shoreline Drive (Lake st. Clair)
TO: Lake Saint Clair Drive
8. FROM: Snaky Hollow Road
TO: Shady Creek Road
9. FROM: Crawdad Lane
TO: Roanoke Lane
10. FROM: Shoefly Lane
TO: Spaid Lane
Recommendation for Denial:
The Road Naming Committee recommends denial of the follow-
ing requests for these reasons:
1. FROM: Riding Mill Road
TO: Klines Mill Road
Making this change would involve changing the names of
three rural routes, and over 50 households. The
applicant obtained signatures from only one road and
still did not have a majority on it. The construction
of Interstate 81 interrupted the historical integrity
of the area, however, road names assigned in 1987 were
and are still historically accurate in location.
2. FROM: Hunting Ridge Road (portion north of Brush
033
TO: Whipperwill
Creek)
Although Hunting Ridge Road is broken by high water
during the flooding season, the committee members in
emergency services agreed that there would be no
hindrances in emergency response. Also, being as this
is one continuous state route and road name, that a
break in the middle would cause confusion in the
future when creek crossing/road improvements are made.
Upon motion made by W. Harrington smith, Jr., seconded by
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr., the above road name change requests
were approved.
The above motion was passed by the following recorded vote:
Richard G. Dick - Aye
W. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Aye
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
Robert M. Sager - Aye
Beverly J. Sherwood - Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
LETTER FROM C. MICHAEL HARLOW. POSTMASTER. REOUESTING THAT
DATE OF DECEMBER 30. 1992 AS LAST DATE FOR CITIZENS TO
CHANGE THEIR STREET ADDRESSES WITHOUT A CHARGE BE MOVED UP
- DENIED
Mr. Owen presented this letter to the Board, and explained
its content noting that the Public Works Committee did not have
this letter when they met last week. Public Works Committee did
not have this letter when they met last week.
Mr. Dick stated that he did not like to change rules in the
middle of the game, but he could see the urgency of this.
Mr. Tierney stated that the policy was decided sometime ago
and the people are presently under the impression that they have
until December to make any changes, without any cost to them,
and he would hate to be the one that has to tell these people
that the policy has been changed and now there will be a charge
for any changes in road names.
Mr. DiCk stated that if any changes were to be made it
should have been done back when, and now we need to stick to
what we currently have.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he felt it would not hurt to
advertise, notifying the citizens that if they want their road
names changed that they make every effort to get it done as soon
as possible.

The Frederick county Transportation Committee conducted
their regular meeting for the month of August. The fOllowing
agenda items were discussed during this meeting:
1) The committee addressed specific concerns regarding
the Route 277/Route 647 intersection, east of stephens city.
The committee endorsed the construction of a right turn lane on
Route 647 to separate Route 277 east and west bound traffic, and
the pavement marking to indicate dual right turn lanes for Route
647 and northbound Interstate 81 traffic. The pavement will be
marked accordingly to coordinate with existing signage in this
area.

2) The committee briefly discussed a letter from Mr.
Joseph Verzi, Jr. Mr. Verzi provided suggestions to improve

assist with future discussions.
035
3) The committee recommended that a traffic signal light
be placed at the intersection of Route 277 and the entrance to
Sherando High School. The committee felt that the installation
of this traffic light should be coordinated with the opening of
Sherando High in the Fall of 1993. Committee members discussed
the potential for an annual student parking fee to assist in
off-setting the costs created by this impact.
4) Staff provided the committee with the history behind
the request to vacate a portion of Conway street. This request
was made by Mr. Kimerly Henry and regards a street that lies
partially in Frederick County and the City of Winchester. This

mendation.

courtrooms. The public will be scanned as they enter the court-
room. Cost is not known at this time.

Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Board
that the Judicial Center be revisited by the Law Enforcement and
Courts Committee along with the city committee to once again
review the area that is being discussed. Everyone basically
felt if the two main entrances to the Judicial Center are
covered then that is all that is necessary.

UPGRADE COMPUTER EQUIPMENT (THIS IS A MATCHING GRANT)

package that we currently share with the City of Winchester, as
they handle the main frame of the computer system.
Mr. Smith asked if this would be an initial start up grant

Mr. smith stated that number 025-79 in his district was out
Mr. Miller stated that he would check into this and take
the necessary steps to have it removed from the list.
Mr. Dick asked Mr. Miller to bring the Board up to date on
CUP #009-90 of Roy & Patricia Beatty.
Mr. Miller stated that at one time this property was
located in Opequon District, but due to redistricting it was now
in Back Creek District. At this time Mr. Miller informed the
Board of all that has transpired with this CUP from the time it
was approved by the Board on March 28, 1990.
compliance with all the conditions.
Mr. smith asked Mr. Miller if Mr. & Mrs. Beatty were in
Mr. Miller replied, yes.
Mr. William pfhal appeared before the Board at which time
he stated that he was opposed to this permit in its present
form. He further stated that he felt the slab of concrete is too
062
large, which means when it rains the water flows freely down
this concrete and on to his property which he is opposed to.
Mr. Ed Nicholson, Jr. stated that he lives in this area and
has for some 32 years and as far as he is concerned Mr. Pfhal
lives in a flood plain area.
Mr. Miller stated that the Beatty property is not in a
flood plain area.
Mrs. Dorothy Nicholson stated that the property that is
currently owned by Mr. Pfhal flooded before anything was built
by Mr. Beatty and his building a garage has nothing to do with
the fact that Mr. Pfhal's property floods.
Mr. Frank Weller, Chief of the stephens City Fire Depart-
ment stated that he could not address the flood problems, but he
would like for the Board to know of all that Mr. Beatty has done
to help the stephens City Fire Department by donating all of his
time when it has been necessary for him to work on any equipment
belonging to the fire department, and he would hate to see this
business closed down.
Mr. George Snarr, local attorney representing Mr. & Mrs.
Beatty, asked Mr. Ron Mislowsky, of G. W. Clifford and Associ-
ates, if there was anything he could add to what Mr. Miller said
earlier.
Mr. Mislowsky stated that he did do a preliminary evalua-
tion based on the topography they had, and there is more run off
naturally, and the major drainage way that drains this thirteen
acres actually runs around the impervious area that Mr. Beatty
has constructed, which means that Mr. Beatty's development has
very little to do with, except to add a little bit of flow it
does nothing to accelerate or decrease or in any other way
affect the drainage that comes down through the other area.
Mr. smith asked Mr. Mislowsky if in his professional
opinion this was within limits.
Mr. Mislowsky replied, yes.
Ms. Elizabeth Rust Williams, attorney representing Mr.
Pfhal, appeared before the Board at which time she directed a
number of questions to Mr. Miller through Mr. Dick.

STONEWALL DISTRICT CUP' S APPROVED
Mr. Dick asked Mr. Miller to give the Board the background
on CUP #002-90 of Carl C. Ay, Jr., Colonial Farms Nursery.
Mr. Miller explained that this CUP was originally approved
by the Board on March 7, 1990, and that the applicant is in
complete compliance with the permit.
Mrs. James McGregor, adjoining neighbor, appeared before
the Board and explained that she did not feel that Mr. Ay had
complied with all the conditions as spelled out by the Planning
commission and approved by the Board of supervisors, especially
the conditions dealing with screening. She further explained
that the southern boundary of this nursery is near their proper-
ty line and she is not at all satisfied with the screening in
this area.
Mr. James McGregor appeared before the Board stating that
he did not feel the condition as spelled out by the Planning
Commission wherein it stated "solid screen" had been done, as it
was their understanding that the screening would be evergreens,
and even though some had been planted there were not nearly
enough. Mr. McGregor asked that the Board direct Mr. Ay, as
part of the original condition, to plant more evergreens.
Mr. Carl Ay appeared before the Board at this time and
presented pictures that he had taken which he felt showed
exactly what he had done to screen his nursery as had been the
directive of the Planning Commission and Board of supervisors.
Mr. Sager asked when the pictures were taken.
Mr. Ay replied last week.
l~
065
Mr. Dick stated that he had visited the site, and even
though he realized the area has a lot of limestone, which makes
planting more difficult, he did feel that more evergreens were
needed in order to screen the nursery as it should be.
Mr. Orndoff stated that there was no way anything could be
planted in the old roadbed.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he felt an opaque fence would be
the answer.
Mr. Orndoff asked Mrs. McGregor exactly what Mr. Ay would
have to do in order to satisfy she and her husband.
Mrs. McGregor replied, plant evergreen trees from the
street back to the pond.
At this time Mr. Orndoff moved to approve the renewal of
Mr. Ay's conditional use permit.
Mr. Longerbeam seconded the motion.
Mr. Sager explained that he had not had a chance to actual-
ly look at the property and would like to do so.
Mr. Dick stated that the Board had had this information for
some time, and he felt they needed to act on it at this meeting.
Mr. Orndoff asked if the condition said just "screening" or
did it spell out what type.
Mr. Tierney stated that he felt it depends on interpreta-
tion.
Mr. Dick asked if staff felt adequate screening was in
place.
Mr. Miller replied yes.
The above motion was passed by the following recorded vote:
Richard G. Dick - Nay
w. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Aye
