have it transcribed in a uniform manner by said clerk the folloN
ing day. The Committee recommends approval.

Rhodes and passed unanimously, the above was approved.

the words "dogs or domestic animals" to "livestock and poultry"

mechanical contractors as competent to work in the County.
Mr. Riley explained that this was just being studied at
this time.
Mr. Stiles stated that he was not in favor of this.
This is to be explored and discussed.

Landfill North of Route 50 East. Before final action is recom-
mended, the Committee will want to review proposed uses for the

the Board members had no objections, he would request to move
Tab U, "Revised Preliminary Master Development Plan - Frederi
towne Estates ", to the first item on the Agenda and a request
from Butler Manufacturing for Industrial Rail Access Funds to
added at the end of the Agenda.
The Board concurred with these requests.
REVISED PRELIMINARY MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN - FREDERICK -
TOWNE ESTATES - TABLED
Mr. Stiles stated that there had been a lot of discussion
concerning this request. He explained that there is 112 acres
in this tract known as the old Nichols property located East of
the development known as Fredericktowne and that it had been
zoned residential since 1973. He further explained that there
are currently two points of access to this property and that
this plan has been on file with the County for approximately two
39
and one half years but was tabled due to water and sewer not
being available and at this point, neither the Stephens Run or
Lakeside plants can be expanded. Mr. Stiles further stated that
the Parkins Mill Plant is scheduled to be completed next summer
with a capacity of one -half million gallons a day. He stated
that as part of the approval of the master development plan, the
development will be allowed to proceed, but no final occupancy
will be permitted until the Parkins Mill Plant is completed. He
explained that there is no proposal at this time to put a road
through any part of Sherando Park in order to have access to and
from this property.
Mr. Stiles stated that neither he, Mr. Golladay, Planning
Commission member; nor Dudley Rinker felt that two streets will
be sufficient to handle the traffic that will be generated from
this subdivision, however, the County will continue to study
traffic flow in this area.
Mr. Stiles outlined what area the Highway Department would
be working on in this immediate area with regard to traffic
lights, road widening, etc.
Mr. Charles Maddox, of G. W. Clifford and Associates,
appeared before the Board on behalf of this request. He ex-
plained the lot sizes that were planned and that the houses that
will be constructed will be compatible to those that are current-
ly in Fredericktowne. He further explained that the Highway
Department is looking at Westmoreland Drive as the road to
handle the traffic flow for this subdivision and that a request
has been made for certain stop signs to be changed.
Mr. Raymond Sandy, resident of Opequon District, residing
on Route 277, appeared before the Board to present petitions
from area residents opposing any road being built in Sherando
Park and stated that the residents of this area were apprecia-
tive of the consideration shown by the Board in not building a
road through Sherando Park.
Upon motion made by Dudley H. Rinker, seconded by L. A.
Putnam and passed unanimously, to accept the petition of County
d'
residents opposing any road being built in Sherando Park for
benefit of residents of Fredericktowne Estates Subdivision.
Mr. Stiles, by way of a map, pointed out where the
property being discussed is located, as well as other property
in the immediate area that is proposed for future development.
Mrs. Ida Musser, resident of Opequon District, residing on
Route 277, appeared before the Board and stated that she did no
feel the Board should ever build a school on the County propert
North of Route 277 as has been discussed as she felt this shoul
always be retained solely for recreation.
Mr. Crosen stated that he was disappointed that a back exi
was not going to be done from this property and further, if it
becomes necessary in the future that a new high school is neede
in this area and the County does not build on this property,
then in his opinion they will be making a mistake as he felt
Clearbrook and Sherando Parks are all the parks that the County
needs.
Mr. Putnam explained that in his opinion, another exit is
needed from this property other than Westmoreland Drive, but he
did not feel it should for any reason go through the park. 11
Mr. Riley noted that perhaps some of the adjoining propert
owners would be willing to donate some of their land to have
this exit road built.
Upon motion made by Dudley H. Rinker, seconded by L. A.
Putnam and passed unanimously, for this request to go back to
the Planning Commission for further study of open space and
other ways of exit from this property.
SUBDIVISION REQUEST - E.T.S. PROPERTIES - APPROVED
Mr. Watkins presented this request and stated that the
Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions.

Mr. Chuck Maddox, of G. W. Clifford and Associates,
appeared before the Board and stated that one entrance and one
11 exit was called for on the plan.
Mr. Orndoff asked whether certain streets could be
connected in order to handle the traffic.
Mr. Stiles explained that you should not mix commercial and
residential traffic.
Mr. Crosen asked why the City would object to using
VanFossen street.
Mr. Stiles replied that it is too narrow.
Mr. Delmar Bayliss, Realtor, appeared before the Board and
stated that he is involved with the sale of this property and
the City had assured him that a letter would be delivered in
time for tonight's meeting stating that the City had no
11 objection to the exit by using Apple Street and he did not know
why the letter was not delivered.
This request was tabled until more information on access is
available.

ning Commission recommended approval with the understanding that

4�t
Mr. Stiles asked if adjoining property owners had been noti
fied of this meeting.
Mr. Watkins replied no.
Mr. Bruce Edens, Surveyor, appeared before the Board on
behalf of this request. He further stated that there would be
an area that would serve as a holding pond rather than have the
water going into the neighbors backyards.
Mr. Stiles explained that he wanted the Highway Departmentll
to look at this again and have all adjoining property owners
notified.
Mr. Orndoff stated that he had visited the site and he fel
the water would flow back into the City if Braddock Street is
upgraded.
Mr. Ron Brown, Attorney, appeared before the Board on be-
half of Messrs. Harris and Saunders and stated that this reque
was presented to the Planning Commission in February and again
in May and he felt his clients had done all that was required
them to have this request approved.
Mr. Dennis Hinkle, resident of Locust Avenue, appeared be-
fore the Board to oppose this request and stated that drainage
and access are the problems with this request.
Mr. Jerry Newlin, resident of Wyatt Street, appeared beforE
the Board to oppose this request as drainage in this area is b
and he felt a project such as this would only make it worse and
the traffic flow is also a problem.
Upon motion made by Charles W. Orndoff, seconded by L. A.
Putnam and passed unanimously, to table this until the area in
question is reviewed by the Highway Department.
BOARD APPROVED SALE OF CERTAIN LOTS IN THE SHAWNEELAND
