REZONING APPLICATION #011 -86 OF GEORGE W. GLAIZE. JR.
- SHAWNE
Mr. Watkins, Planning and Development Director, presented this request
and stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval.
Mr. Michael Bryant, Attorney with McKee and Butler, appeared before
Board on behalf of this request. He stated that he felt this was the only
type of zoning that would be appropriate for this acreage in question based
upon all the known facts.
Don Ratcliff, County representative on the Airport Commission, appeared
before the Board to speak on behalf of this rezoning request.
Ken Wiegand, Airport Manager, appeared before the Board on behalf of
this request and stated that he felt it would be very beneficial to the
35
County and the Airport and that it would be much better rezoned industrial
rather than residential.
Martha Hockman, resident of Shawnee District, appeared before the Board
to ask if the water and sewer lines would be run down Bufflick Road and
Route 50 East. She stated that the residents of Stonewall District were
promised water and sewer, if a certain industrial park was approved, and
even though the industrial park was approved, not all the residences have
water.
Mr. Stiles stated that water is currently going to Clearbrook and has
been for 10 years and that the Planning Commission, Board and staff have
been discussing the most feasible way for this project to be an ongoing
project.
Mr. Wellington Jones, Engineer/ Director of the Sanitation Authority,
appeared before the Board at this time to explain the exact routes that
would be used to run these water and sewer lines. He stated that the pro-
posed funding for this project was as follows:
$1.7 million for cost of project - $400 per acre to be paid by the
developer, $300,000 paid by the Sanitation Authority, $1,000,000 to be
borrowed through bonding and paid back in 20 years.
Mr. Jones further stated if the homeowners hooked on to the system
within 90 days the charge would be approximately $1,000, after that time the
cost would be $3,300 per house.
Mr. Throckmorton asked if the lines could be put in without the
developers contribution.
Mr. Jones replied not for the figure just quoted.
Mr. Throckmorton asked what the debt service would be.
Mr. Jones replied close to $100,000 per year.
Mr. Steve Milburn, resident of Shawnee District, appeared before the
Board stating that his property adjoins the Claize property and that he was
concerned about the noise pollution that would be caused by industry as well
as all the blacktop that would be used by the industries and what effect all
this moisture would have on him. He asked if the natural tree area that is
currently there would remain or would it be removed.
Mr. Stiles explained to Mr. Milburn that the water run -off cannot be
any greater than it is now. He further stated that he had felt for some
time that each industrial park should be required to have their own master
plan and that the Board of Supervisors should request the Planning Commis-
nwAu
sion to look into having this as part of the requirements when a request is
submitted for an industrial park.
Mr. Watkins stated that he felt the Planning Commission agreed with Mr.
Stiles.
Mr. Riley stated that this condition could be in effect within 60
days.
Donald Bowen, resident of Shawnee District, appeared before the Board
and asked if the water and sewer lines would include the North and South
side of Bufflick Road.
Mr. Jones replied yes.
Roger Koontz, resident of Gainesboro District, appeared before the
Board and stated that he was opposed to this rezoning mainly because of what
it would do to growth in that area and wherever there is growth you have to
provide more services and schools and this would mean higher taxes and he
did not feel the County could afford to raise taxes at this time.
Mr. Stiles asked Mr. Koontz how he would address the problem of the
failing septic systems in the Bufflick Road area.
Mr. Koontz replied that he felt that was a Health Department matter.
Upon motion made by Thomas B. Throckmorton, seconded by Robert M.
Rhodes and passed unanimously, to request that the Planning Commission take
the necessary steps to see that a master plan submittal become part of the
requirements for industrial parks and that this include buffers, etc. and
that this become effective within 60 days.
Mr. Orndoff asked if this could be done realistically within 60 days.
Mr. Riley replied that this was an obtainable date.
Upon motion made by Thomas B. Throckmorton, seconded by C. William
Orndoff, Jr. and passed unanimously, the rezoning application number 011 -86
of George W. Glaize, Jr., et ux, 817 Dutton Place, Winchester, Virginia and
Zetta P. Garber, Route 1, Box 439 -D, Winchester, Virginia, to rezone 146.829
acres from A -2 (Agricultural General) to M -1 (Industrial Limited) was
approved. This property is identified as Parcels 159D, 159E and 159F on Tax
Map 64 and is located at the corner of Route 50 East and Route 728 in the
Shawnee Magisterial District.
EZONING APPLICAT #010 -86 OF C. DOUGLAS ADAMS AND FERN
Mr. Watkins presented this request and stated that the Planning Commis-
lion recommended approval.
37
Mr. Bob Mitchell, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Adams, appeared before the
Board and stated that he would like to address the relative issues to this
rezoning request. He further stated that this comes down to the planning
done for this area, especially when the County agreed some years ago to
water and sewer this area. Mr. Mitchell asked the Board if they did not
rezone this property to industrial then what would they rezone it.
Mr. Throckmorton stated that he felt the residents of Bufflick Heights
would prefer having the current buffer of trees remain and asked Mr.
Mitchell if he had any problems with this request.
Mr. Mitchell replied no.
Mr. Ken Wiegand, Airport Manager, appeared before the Board and stated
that he would like to reiterate what he had said earlier during the Glaize
rezoning request.
Lois Ennis, resident of Bufflick Heights, appeared before the Board and
requested that the current buffer and trees be left.
Mr. Tom Schultz, Attorney representing twelve area residents that are
opposed to this request, appeared before the Board and presented a petition
by area citizens opposed to this rezoning. He referred to the land that the
County had rezoned industrial and had not been developed as industrial
property and questioned whether the County could support more industry. He
further stated that the staff in their comments on this request felt there
were very serious problems with traffic and roads in this area and felt
this request is premature. Mr. Schultz further stated that in the 1982
Comprehensive Plan, this area was approved for residential use.
Mr. Leonard Greathouse, whose property borders the Rosenberger
property, appeared before the Board to question where the roads for this
proposed industrial park would be located.
Martha Hockman, resident whose land adjoins the property in question,
appeared before the Board and asked where the proposed lake was scheduled to
be.
Mr. Stiles explained to Mrs. Hockman that this lake could still be
built without approval of the County.
Mr. Orndoff asked Mrs. Hockman what she would propose this land to be
used for, residential or agricultural.
Mrs. Hockman replied that it had always been good agricultural land.
Mrs. Greathouse, area resident, appeared before the Board and stated
that she was very opposed to this rezoning.
v8
Louise McKinnon, resident of Bufflick Heights, appeared before the
Board and stated that she was very opposed to this rezoning due to all the
traffic and pollution problems that it would cause.
Mr. Randy Campbell, resident of Bufflick Heights Subdivision, appeared
before the Board inquiring about the right -of -way that would be needed in
the area in order that the roads might be widened.
Mr. Howard Sharp, resident of Shawnee District, appeared before the
Board and stated that he and his wife are very opposed to this rezoning.
John Pearson, resident of Bufflick Road, appeared and stated that he
was concerned about water and sewer for Bufflick Road residents.
James McKinna, resident of Shawnee District, appeared and stated that
he was concerned about where the land is in relation to the glide path of
the Airport.
Mr. Wiegand replied to the center and South of the Airport.
Mr. Lawrence Payne, resident of Bufflick Road, approximately one mile
from the Airport, appeared and stated that he was concerned about the
increase in traffic and the pollution that would be created by this rezoning
and therefore he is very opposed to it.
Raymond Wills, resident of Shawnee District, appeared and expressed
concern about the hardship that this added expense would cause some of the 11
property owners in this area and that the staff had not addressed this in
their recommendation.
Nevada Dove, resident of Shawnee District, appeared and stated that she
was concerned about being able to get out of her driveway once the increase
in traffic starts as she is currently experiencing problems with the present
traffic flow.
Mr. Greathouse stated that a lot of the citizens in this area are low
income and he wondered if the County was in the position to help them pay
for this water and sewer.
Mr. Jones replied no, that the County had no plans to subsidize this
project.
Mr. Donald Bowen appeared before the Board and stated that he had grown
up on the Airport Road and he had worked on the Rosenberger Farm during this
time and he would like to see his children be able to find employment in
this same area, and if this industrial park becomes a reality then this
employment would be available.
39
Mr. Bob Mitchell appeared to address some of the questions brought out
by area residents.
Mr. Schultz appeared to also address questions and concerns presented
to the Board.
Mr. Orndoff stated that concerns and comments expressed at this meeting
cannot be answered by having this property rezoned residential.
Mr. Rhodes stated that he felt the residents needed to be protected by
proper buffers and this needed to be addressed.
Mrs. Maddox stated that she hoped the people understood the Board's
position in this request and that it had been given a lot of consideration
by each of them. She further stated that she realized what an emotional
concern this is for the area residents and that she felt that just not any
industry would be allowed to locate at the industrial park, that any
industry interested in locating here would be screened very carefully.
Mr. Owings stated that he felt the argument heard at this meeting, that
Frederick County has two many acres already zoned industrial, is not a good
argument.
Mr. Throckmorton stated that this is not something that has been dis-
cussed just in the last 2 to 6 months, it has been for approximately 1 1/2
years. He further stated that one of the most frequently asked questions of
him in the time he has been on the Board is when is water and sewer going to
be made available to the Bufflick Road area. He further stated that he felt
the best use of this land is industrial and with industry they can help pay
for the much needed water and sewer for the area. Mr. Throckmorton further
stated that the Bufflick Heights Subdivision residents are very concerned
and he felt he could appreciate where they are coming from and that hope-
fully the new ordinance will balance this out.
Upon motion made by Thomas B. Throckmorton, secondedby RhodaW. Maddox
and passed unanimously, rezoning application number 010 -86 of C. Douglas
Adams and Fern L. Adams, 7250 Maple Place, Annandale, Virginia, to rezone
257.461 acres from A -2 (Agricultural General) to M -1 (Industrial Limited)
was approved. This property is identified as Parcels 38 and 40 on Tax Map
64 and is located on the South side of Bufflick Road in the Shawnee Magis-
terial District.
Mr. Stiles stated that he knew, as did Mr. Throckmorton, that this
property was available for some use other than agricultural. He further
stated that the financing of the water and sewer lines was a great concern
40
and he did not have any concrete answers for payment of this service. Mr.
Stiles further stated that he also realized that traffic is a problem but
this is not a problem of the developers but with the Board of Supervisors
and the Highway Department. He further stated that rezoning this property
residential was not the answer to this situation and that the obligation of
the Board of Supervisors was to work out the facts in order that everyone
involved would be protected.
BATTLEFIELD PARTNERSHIP - RE- SUBDIVISION REQUEST AND
SUBDIVISION PLAT - APPROVED
Mr. Watkins presented these requests and stated that the Planning
Commission recommended approval.
Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes, seconded by C. William Orndoff,
Jr. and passed unanimously, the re- subdivision request and subdivision plat
