ned for this area.
Mr. Rinker asked where the lake was in relation to this
_ II project as well as the property owned by the School.
Mr. Watkins presented two petitions to the Board, one
against this rezoning and one in favor of the rezoning.
Mr. Phillip Groves, local Attorney, appeared before the
Board on behalf of the owner concerning the title to this proper-
ty.
Mr. Smith stated that the title is not the issue that is
being considered by the Board and therefore will not be discuss-
ed at this meeting.
Mr. David Holliday appeared before the Board and presented
two flyers that had been put in everyone's mailbox and that some
of the information on these circulars was incorrect. He further
stated that this had become a very emotional issue. Mr. Holli-
day presented petitions that had been circulated by him that
were in favor of this project. He also presented a letter from
Mr. Marty Riggleman, County resident living across from the 7 -11
on Route 647, that stated that he had no problems being across
350
from this store in the eighteen years that he has lived there.
He further explained that he felt there was a lot of misinforma-
tion out there with regard to this project and that he was more
than willing to work with the people and help locate the stores
and businesses in this area that they would have a need for.
The following citizens of Lakeside appeared before the
Board to oppose this rezoning request:
Mr. Jim Silvester, President of the Lakeside /Wakeland Manor
Homeowners Association, opposed this rezoning and noted that the
citizens in this area did not need or want the development,
i.e., convenience stores, etc., that Mr. Holliday wants to
build.
Mr. Crosen stated that this area is zoned residential so if
they have a choice between thirty -two townhouses or the business-1
es, which did they prefer?
Mr. Silvester replied townhouses.
Ms. Sharon Frye, representing owners of old Lakeside, stat-
ed that they are opposed to any stores being built, it would
depreciate the homes in the area, and felt a play area for the
neighborhood children is what is really needed and asked that
the Board deny this request.
Ms. Margaret Hillyard, President of Lakeview Townhouses,
was not in favor of any stores being built as there is already
too much traffic in this area and more stores would only add to
the problem.
Mr. Dave Rogers, of Heritage Commerical Realty, Inc., repre -
senting La Petite Academy, told the Board that there is a big
demand in this area for child care and he felt this would be an
ideal area for a child care center to be built as there is a
definite need with all the new development that is going on.
Mr. Robert Gargiulo, resident of Lakeview Townhouses,
opposed the request citing all the traffic currently on Route
642 and how dangerous the hill and curve is that presently turns
into Chinkapin Drive, the planned location for this development
of stores.
351
Mr. Greg Hall referred to the bus stop located at the loca-
tion and how dangerous this site is with all the increased
traffic on Route 642 and a development such as this would only
increase the danger. He stated that the area residents do not
want convenience stores in their neighborhood.
Ms. Ann Shull stated that she is opposed to this request as
she felt the area is having enough problems with breakins and
drainage and a development such as the one proposed would only
create more problems in these areas.
Ms. Cathy Hall, resident of Aspen Drive, stated that she is
opposed to this request and that she would never send her chil-
dren to a day care center with a lake located in the back yard,
and with regard to the petition that Mr. Holliday had presented
in the neighborhood, at no time was the choice of Townhouses
mentioned, his staff person stated that the choice was either
low income housing or convenience stores. She stated that there
is no need for a mall nor is it wanted.
Ms. Cheryl Nassick, resident living on Route 642, referred
to all the traffic that is currently on 642 and the accidents
that she has seen in the last two years and did not feel a
development of this nature is needed or wanted by the area resi-
dents.
Mr. Frank Etings stated that he is opposed to this request
for all the reasons stated above.
Mr. Jack Nester stated that he is opposed to any conven-
ience stores in the area due to all the traffic and conjestion
that these type of stores generate.
Mr. John Lewis, representing Apple Downs Townshouses that
are presently being developed in this area, stated that his con-
cern from the very beginning has been that there are no avail-
able stores nearby for shopping, and further that he did not
feel a development of this type would depreciate the homes that
are currently in the area.
Mr. Joel Stowe, local Realtor and owner of property in Lake-
side, stated that he was in favor of this development as he felt
the residents needed stores close to them in order to have the
35
convenience of shopping without having to drive very far to do
it.
Mrs. Barbara Smith, resident of old Lakeside, did not appre -I
ciate individuals who do not live in the area telling those resi -I
dents that do what they should or should not have built in their
neighborhood.
Mr. Holliday stated that the information he provided earli-
er with regard to the figures on the bus stop were provided to
him by the State Police Department.
Mr. Harrington Smith read a prepared statement at this
time. He stated that he felt that it is the local government's
responsibility to represent the people and the people of Lake-
side have spoken with five hundred forty three signatures re-
spectfully requesting that the change in zoning is not to their
liking. He stated that they must be responsive to the people
providing they are right. Mr. Smith stated that this vote will
affect the entire County, not just the individual district that
they represent as individual members. He stated that the state-
ment that this development would cut down on traffic has abso-
lutely no basis as stated by the County Planning staff. He stat-
ed that Route 642 will be improved because of residential densi-
ty not because of commercial development, that this is the only
reason as far as he is concerned. Mr. Smith further stated that
the Planning Commission turned this request down on a 6 -3 vote
and he saw no reason why the Board should change that. He stat-
ed that the citizens, through their petition, are telling the
Board number one, that they do not want it and number two, they
do not need it.
Mr. Crosen stated that he would have to say that residen-
tial development is more costly than commercial development and
in the case here, the County would be better served as far as
the tax base with commercial development, however the dollar
sign is not everything and he had to respect the wishes of the
people in this area and seconded Smith's motion.
353

Items Requiring Action
Project Youth Recycling Program - Approved
The Committee discussed the growth and success of the
_.
11 Project Youth Recycling program. Zuckerman Company and Southern
Scrap, however, are both losing money staffing and equipping the
recycling depot. Because the Frederick County Landfill is the
main beneficiary of this program and the 1989 General Assembly
mandated 10 percent waste reduction through recycling by 1991,
15 percent by 1993 and 25 percent by 1995, the Committee recom-
mends the Board approve a supplemental appropriation of $15,000
(Landfill fund) from which the Project Youth Recycling program
can provide monthly invoices for recycling expenses not covered
by revenues (see Attachment 1).
Upon made by Charles W. Orndoff, Sr., seconded by Dudley H.
Rinker and passed unanimously, the above recommendation was
approved.
House Numbering System - Acted Upon Earlier in the
Meeting
Staff reported that the first phase of the House Number-
ing System has been completed and that negotiations with the
consultant have resulted in an 18 month project schedule, an
354
official County map and emergency services vehicle house number
guide books as part of the project. The Committee recommends
the Board authorize proceeding with this project immediately
(see Attachment 2).
Morris Land Request - To Be Advertised "For Sale"
The Committee discussed a request from Helen Morris to pur-
chase approximately one acre of County owned property located on
Sulphur Spring Road. The Morrises need this property to install
a drainfield to serve their house. The parcel is part of the
old County Landfill tract, however, trash was not buried in the
area they wish to purchase. The Committee recommends the Board
approve the sale of this property to the Morrises subject to the
following conditions:
(1) Health Department approval and installation of a
drainfield, and
(2) Purchase price to be equal to all transfer costs
including, but not limited to, survey, title
search and recordation fees.
It was noted that this property has to be advertised "For
Sale ".

CODE AND ORDINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
