BY FREDERICK COUNTY UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA BUT IS TO BE

DR. JUAN WEISS, DIRECTOR FREDERICK - WINCHESTER HEALTH
DEPARTMENT, ADDRESSED THE BOARD RE: OPERATION OF MECHANI-
CAL, AEROBIC AND SAND FILTER SYSTEMS IN FREDERICK COUNTY
Dr. Weiss, Director of the Frederick - Winchester Health
Department, addressed the Board and presented a background of
information on the various sanitary systems currently being used
in Frederick County, i.e., mechanical, aerobic and sand filter.
Dr. Weiss did not have figures for Frederick County but gave a
breakdown of Shenandoah County as the two Counties are very
similar in their types of soil. He explained that as of
September 1 of this year the Health Department had been
requested to monitor these systems, and in doing so he outlined
to the Board where the problem areas are. He further explained
that in monitoring these systems, the Health Department cannot
go on someone's property unless permission had been given by the
property owner.
Mr. Stiles explained that when you have people you have
problems and you have to try and strike a happy medium in a
situation such as this. He further explained that when septic
systems cannot be installed, pressure would be applied to
install central water and sewer and this should not be done
outside of the urban development area. He stated that he felt
sand filter systems should not be eliminated as this would leave
a lot of land in Frederick County worth nothing, but had no
problem with the mechanical system being eliminated.
Mr. Bob Custard, Environmental Health Manager with the
Health Department, discussed the mound system with the Board and
explained that he did not feel the soil is right in Frederick
County for this system.
FOU
LOK
Mr. Bob Holmes, local Soil Scientist, appeared before the
Board and stated that he did not agree with Mr. Custard's
statement on elevated mound systems as he felt they will work
and septic regulations need to be amended in order for this
system to be used.
Mr. Crosen stated that from the health standpoint we need
to be concerned with the current situation as it exists in
Frederick County with the various sanitary systems that are
being used. He further stated that two years ago he asked Mr.
Alexander with the Health Department who was monitoring these
systems and his response was no one, which really concerned him
and he felt that until a system is proven to be satisfactory, a
moratorium should be enacted as the County needed to get a
handle on this situation.
Mr. Stiles explained that he was comfortable with a mora-
torium being placed on mechanical systems and asked Mr. Watkins
to have the NPDES Taskforce to reconvene to discuss this
situation and report back to the Board with a recommendation as
to what is available as you cannot just shut the door.
Mr. Rhodes stated that VPI has a sand filter system that
has worked for fifteen years and he felt the problem is main-
tenance as the system will work if it is put in correctly. The
company installing the system should be liable for the first
five years with a maintenance contract and this is the direction
the County should follow with these systems.
Mr. Smith stated that he did not completely agree with this
for if an individual buys a car and does not take care of it,
you cannot blame the maker for all the problems.
Mr. Stiles explained that a moratorium had to be for a
specific time.
Mr. Ambrogi, Attorney, had left the meeting at this point,
therefore the Board requested that he be called and put this
issue on hold until he returned.
REQUEST FROM THE LORD FAIRFAX HEALTH DISTRICT FOR FUNDING -
APPROVED IN PART
Dr. Juan Weiss appeared before the Board and stated that
the Health Department was requesting that the Board consider
allocating all or part of the County's Co -op funding back to the
Health Department so that medical /medicine supplies and employee
development can be re- budgeted to their needed levels in the
amount of $4,497.
Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes, seconded by Dudley H.
Rinker and passed unanimously, the above was approved.
In similar action, Dr. Weiss requested that the $13,954
refund to the County from fees collected by the Health Depart-
ment for septic permits be used as a one time expansion capital
improvement and join the City of Winchester in the construction
of the much needed parking expansion.
Mr. Rhodes explained that the Finance Committee felt the
parking lot was not necessary at this time.
The Board agreed with the recommendation of the Finance
Committee, that being to deny this request.
Mr. Stiles stated that he felt we needed to let the State
know that we do not plan to pick up all the cuts that they make.
Mr. Smith responded, saying if the Commonwealth cuts, then
we cut.
Mr. Ambrogi arrived at this point at which time Mr. Stiles
asked him for information regarding time limits on moratoriums.
Mr. Ambrogi explained that a moratorium can only be imposed
when an emergency exists and the emergency has to be stated as
such.
Upon motion made by Roger L. Crosen and seconded by W.
Harrington Smith, Jr., to enact a moratorium on all mechanical
and aerobic sanitary systems for sixty days based on facts
supplied by the Health Department concerning the number of
systems that are malfunctioning in the County.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded
vote: Aye - Kenneth Y. Stiles, Dudley H. Rinker, Roger L.
Crosen, W. Harrington Smith, Jr. and Charles W. Orndoff, Sr.
Nay - Robert M. Rhodes.
At this time Mr. Crosen made a motion to impose a mora-
torium on all sand filter sanitary systems for sixty days.
.,
Mr. Smith seconded for discussion purposes. He asked what
happened if an individual's septic system fails during this
sixty days, what alternatives did they have. Mr. Smith moved to
amend this motion that in the event a present septic system
fails, they could apply for a sand filter system.
Mr. Rinker seconded Mr. Smith's motion.
The motion for amendment was approved by the following
recorded vote: Aye - Kenneth Y. Stiles, Robert M. Rhodes,
Dudley H. Rinker, W. Harrington Smith, Jr. and Charles W.
Orndoff, Sr. Nay - Roger L. Crosen.
The motion by Mr. Crosen for a sixty day moratorium on all
sand filter systems was denied by the following recorded vote:
Aye - Roger L. Crosen, Dudley H. Rinker and W. Harrington Smith,
Jr. Nay - Kenneth Y. Stiles, Robert M. Rhodes and Charles W.
Orndoff, Sr.
Mr. Stiles asked Bob Holmes to serve on the NPDES
Taskforce.
Mr. Holmes replied that he would be happy to.

HIS TORI C_RESOURCES ADVISORY BOARD REPORT - APPROVED UNDER
THE CONSENT AGENDA
Upon motion made by W. Harrington Smith, Jr., seconded by
Robert M. Rhodes and passed unanimously, the following report
was approved under the Consent Agenda:
At their regular meeting of September 18, 1990, the
Historic Resources Advisory Board took the following actions:
1. Recommended that in order to adequately protect and
preserve the remains of the Civil War Redoubt located on the
..
..
property being considered for rezoning in application #008 -90,
Wiseman /Shiho, the following conditions should be addressed:
a. Protection of the redoubt would require a minimum
of one acre being set aside around it.
b. The historic Carysbrooke house should be measured
and drawings made by a qualified architect prior to its demoli-
tion or further decay. A copy of the results given to the
County in order to have a record of the structure.
C. The Carysbrooke name should be used in conjunction
with the future development of the site.
2. Recommended that, if it is decided that the Shawneeland
Lodge be torn down, then the Board of Supervisors employ a
qualified individual or group to dismantle the building in such
a way that the historical core of the structure can be evaluated
to determine whether it might be feasible to preserve any
portion of it. Then, if it is determined the building cannot
reasonably be preserved, there will be some documentation of the
structure.
The Planning Commission at their October 3, 1990 meeting
agreed with the motion regarding the Shawneeland Lodge. The
Planning Commission qualified their support for the motion by
adding that, in the event the building is to be demolished, the
documentation of the structure not cause unwarranted delay and
expense. The Board does not need to take action on item number
one at this time. You may wish to make some motion with regard
to the Lodge and item number two.
If there are any questions, please let me know.
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT - ROUTE 642
At their meeting of October 1, 1990 the Transportation
Committee reviewed the latest proposal for routing of the
improved 642. The Transportation Committee previously recom-
mended to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors
that the "southern route" (green on maps) was the most efficient
path of those evaluated, however, in light of more recent
developments, the Committee unanimously approved a motion
IM
LUM
endorsing the newly proposed "brown" route with a suggested
modification.
The new proposal follows the same path as the southern
route from the intersection of 81 to the route 647 intersection.
At 642 the southern route dips slightly south, and then con-
tinues west, eventually intersecting with 522. At this point
the brown route splits from the green and follows more closely
the existing right -of -way for 642, past the 636 intersection, to
the point where the existing 642 takes a sharp bend to the
north. The brown route continues west at this bend and then
turns south picking up the green route again and intersecting at
the same point on route 522.
The Committee suggested that a path in between the brown
route and the green route be examined from the 647 intersection
to near the eastern edge of the Wakeman property. This would
eliminate additional driveways on the new road as well as reduce
the amount and degree of curvature in the route.
At their regular meeting of October 3, 1990 the Planning
- II Commission endorsed the recommendation of the Transportation
Committee.
Mr. Riley, County Administrator, explained that yet another
route, referred to as the Brown Route, had been selected for
improvements to Route 642 and referred to a large drawing that
showed exactly where this road would be constructed.
Mr. Rinker stated that he would like to see some of the
bends taken out wherever possible.
Mr. Stiles referred to the list of abutting property owners
in excess of half an acre and the only questionable one was Mrs.
Hack.
Upon motion made by Dudley H. Rinker, seconded by W.
Harrington Smith, Jr. and passed unanimously, the Brown Route
for improvements to Route 642 was approved as presented.
LAW ENFORCII4ENT AND COURTS COMMITTEE REPORT - APPROVED

all

submits the following noting that no action is required:
Discussion of Victim Witness Program
The Committee reviewed the attached budget request with the
Commonwealth's Attorney. Further information has been requested
on salary, contractual services and capital outlay items. The
Committee should have all the information in time to render a
final decision to the Board by the first meeting in November.
Discussion of Radio Interference Problems
The County Administrator reported that he met with Motorola
and Lt. VanMeter of the Sheriff's Department on October 2, 1990.
Motorola advised they would have field engineers on site no
later than four weeks from the date of the meeting. It appeared
to Motorola that there was definitely an interference problem.
Discussion of Uniform Traffic Code
The County Administrator advised the Committee that re-
search was still being conducted. The Sheriff will provide
information on most frequent traffic violations to determine
where revenues or traffic fines may come from. The Common-
wealth's Attorney cautioned the Committee on cost associated
with trying certain traffic cases. Historically, these costs
have been borne by the Commonwealth (the Court appointed
attorneys and court costs if individual is found not guilty).
