DAVID OWINGS, SECRETARY OF THE ELECTORAL BOARD, ADDRESSES
ROAan
Mr. Owings appeared before the Board and stated that he had two
requests which needed the Boards' approval.
1. Move Middletown Precinct from present location to Middletown Town
Hall. The move is necessary because of the present facilities.
Upon motion made by Will L. Owings, seconded by Kenneth Y. Stiles and
passed unanimously, the above request was approved.
2. Leave Gore and Gainesboro at their present locations for this year.
There was no action taken.
33
3. Permission to combine FJeffstown and Clearbrook into one location.
The Electoral Board would like to have it at the Stonewall School inasmuch
as we have to take it out of the Frederick Block Office and there are no
other buildings available.
Mr. David Owings stated that if this request is granted there would be
a public hearing held ninety days prior to the election to get the input of
the citizens of the FJeffstown Precinct.
Mr. David Owings stated that the Electoral Board had looked throughout
the FJeffstown area to try and locate a suitable business location but they
had not been able to come up with one. He further stated that he had
appeared before the School Board with reference to this request and the
School Board informed him that they had not made up their calendar for next
year.
Mr. Stiles asked if at the public hearing, if sufficient opposition
developed, who makes the decision at that time to make the change, the
Electoral Board or the Board of Supervisors.
P.1r. David Owings replied the Electoral Board.
P1r. Stiles asked that if the Board of Supervisors approves this request
tonight, is it out of their hands.
Mr. Owings replied that that is correct unless someone objects to the
Electoral Boards' decision and then it is appealed to the Board of Super-
visors.
Mr. Stiles stated that he had mixed emotions about this for a number of
reasons, especially if School is in session with some 2,000 persons voting,
then he felt this would be disruptive and could cause some serious problems.
He further stated that given the fact that there would be a public hearing
and the Board will have the opportunity should it be necessary to review the
decision after the public hearing, he would move to approve on that basis
but he reserved the right to change his mind later.
Upon motion made by Kenneth Y. Stiles, seconded by David L. Smith and
passed unanimously that permission be given to the Electoral Board to com-
bine Neffstown and Clearbrook Precincts to one location.
STANLEY KUKANICH APPOINTED TO THE INFORMATION SERVICES
COP.1P- 11TTEE - APPROVED
Mrs. Maddox stated that Mr. Stanley Kukanich had been nominated as the
citizen member to serve on the Information Services Committee.
Upon motion made by Rhoda VJ. Maddox, seconded by William H. Baker and
passed unanimously, that Stanley Kukanich be appointed as the citizen member
34
to serve on the Information Services Committee for a one year term, said
term to commence on February 9, 1983 and terminate on January 31, 1984.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMP.11SSION BY -LAWS DISCUSSED
Mr. Stiles stated that a letter had been sent by Mr. Roger Milburn,
President of the Parks and Recreation Commission, addressing a matter that
had not been discussed by the Board. The issue the Board raised was on the
At -Large members and whether they should be appointed by the Commission or
by the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Hilburn appeared before the Board and asked why the procedure the
Commission had been following could not be continued.
Mr. Stiles stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission is an
Advisory Commission that reports to the Board and he felt it was a better
procedure for the Board of Supervisors to be the ones that appointed the
At -Large members rather than the Commission.
Mr. Milburn stated that the Commission had mentioned the possibilities
of forming a Youth Advisory Board inasmuch as the student representatives
have a problem in attending the Commission meetings.
Mr. Koontz asked that the Commission follow up on this and report back
to the Board of Supervisors with their findings.
Mr. Milburn concurred with this suggestion.
PAUL RHINEHART PROPERTY DISCUSSED AND APPROVED
Mr. Smith stated that he would like to have the time limits as imposed
by the Board followed in the discussion of this matter.
P1r. Baker stated that he would like to suggest that the Attorneys and
anyone else that wishes to speak address their questions to the Board con-
cerning this matter.
Mr. Billy Tisinger, Attorney, appeared before the Board and stated that
he would like to make the following request on behalf of his client, Mr.
Paul Rhinehart:
That the one hundred twenty days be extended to September 1, 1983 and
that on September 1, 1983 that Mr. Rhinehart will voluntarily cease hauling
tires to the present location and no further tires would be hauled to this
location until he would give the Board thirty days notice that he intended
to start hauling tires again, and further that this would not be done unless
the incinerator works.
Mr. Koontz asked that if what he was asking for was an extension of the
one hundred twenty days.
35
Mr. Tisinger stated that was correct. lie stated they had some footers
to put in as they were stopped on this project in October. He further
stated they had obligations as they have twelve people hired at this loca-
tion and feel they need this extra time.
Mr. Baker referred to the property that would be storing the tires in
the future.
Mr. Tisinger stated that P1r. Rhinehart does have ten acres that is
zoned Industrial but it would take some time for the property to be prepared
for use as an Industrial site.
P1r. Owings asked Mr. Tisinger if he would agree not to haul any addi-
tional tires to the present location until he had utilized a large percent-
age of the tires that are presently there that is if the incinerator would
prove satisfactory.
P.1r. Tisinger stated that he could not make that committment, if we cut
off the supply of tires now it would be very difficult to get these tires if
and when we would need them at a later date.
Mr. Owings asked if he would agree just to accept those tires that
would come from Frederick County.
Mr. Tisinger stated that no he couldn't do this because if the inciner-
ator works properly it would take more than the tires in Frederick County to
keep it going.
Mr. Jay Vletsel appeared before the Board stating that he was represent-
ing P.lessers. Charles and William Pullman who own one hundred ninety acres
adjacent to Mr. Rhinehart. lie stated that he had a petition that had been
signed by neighbors of this area that are opposed to this operation of P.1r.
Rhinehart's. He further stated that since December of 1972 millions of
tires have been accumulated and that after investigation he suspected a lot
of these tires were coming from the P.1etropolitan area and that this was a
big business being conducted in an Agricultural District, and further that
this is a non permitted use that is going on at this location. P.1r. Vietsel
further stated that no building permit had been obtained and that noone had
tested the incinerator and that there had been continued blatant disregard
of the County Zoning Ordinance.
Discussion followed as to whether or not any formal application had
ever been made by Mr. Rhinehart with reference to him making an application
to the Board of Supervisors for this operation.
36
Mr. Koontz stated that the minutes showed that it was discussed by the
Board several years ago but that no action was taken by the Board at that
time.
Upon motion made by Kenneth Y. Stiles, seconded by Rhoda 1 1 J. Maddox an
passed unanimously, that the petitions as presented by F.1r. Wetsel be made a
part of the records of this meeting.
Mr. Carmen Rio, local tire distributor, appeared before the Board and
expressed to the Board his views on how the various localities are getting
rid of tires and he hoped that an attitude of cooperation would be used in
resolving this situation.
Upon motion made by William H. Baker, seconded by Rhoda W. Maddox and
passed unanimously, that the memo as read by Mr. Riley outlining the follow-
ing conditions of Mr. Rhinehart's request be approved.
Mr. Owings stated that he would like to make a substitute motion as he
realized the weather conditions at this time of the year and he would like
to make a move that the time be changed from one hundred twenty days to
September 1, 1983 deadline as requested by F1r. Tisinger. He further stated
that Mr. Tisinger, as Mr. Rhinehart's Attorney, was willing to work with the
County and he felt in return the County should be willing to work with P,.1r.
Tisinger and F.1r. Rhinehart.
Upon motion made by Will L. Owings, seconded by David L. Smith and
passed unanimously, that the agreement between the County and Mr. Rhinehart
be amended to change the amount of time from one hundred twenty days to
September 1, 1983 and to read as follows:
This memorandum is being written to state this department's recommenda-
tion regarding the activities taking place on property owned by Alma B.
Rhinehart (Property ID #50000 -A00- 0000 - 0000 - 0058 - 0). It is the understand -
inq of this department that the Board of Supervisors has determined that the
experimental furnace and the existing tires on that property are permitted
uses in the A -1 Agricultural Zoning District in the Frederick County Zoning
Ordinance. This determination is contingent upon the use of the products
and byproducts of the incineration process solely for the processing of
agricultural products on Mr. Rhinehart's property. The incineration process
must also meet all applicable Federal, State, and County regulations. If at
any time in the future Mr. Rhinehart wishes to use that incinerator or any
other equipment on his property for processing on nonagricultural products,
that activity will need to take place on property zoned appropriately for
that processing activity.
The staff would recommend that the Board of Supervisors notify Mr.
Rhinehart that he must cease transporting more tires to the above property
on or before September 1, 1983. If P.1r. Rhinehart wishes to store more
tires, this must be done on property appropriately zoned for that activity.
Gtr. Rhinehart does have property which is currently zoned C1 -2 (Industrial -
General) on which the storage of tires, which are to be used as fuel for an
existing manufacturing process which has been shown to meet all Federal,
State, and County regulations is a permitted use.
37
It is also the understanding of this office that Mr. Rhinehart is to
agree to comply with any applicable sections of the Virginia Uniform
Statewide Building Code during further construction of his processing equip-
ment. The Department of Public Services has contacted the State Office of
the Uniform Building Code concerning the issue of "farm use" under the Code.
If Par. Rhinehart's equipment is classified as "farm use ", the Building Code
would have no jurisdiction. The State Office has stated that Section
36- 97(12) of the Code of Virginia is unclear as to whether Mr. Rhinehart's
equipment would fall under the jurisdiction of the Building Code. They have
suggested that the Commonwealth's Attorney request an Attorney General's
opinion. The staff agrees with this suggestion, if Mr. Ambrogi cannot
determine from his own reading of the Code whether the Building Code has
jurisdiction.
If the Board of Supervisors concurs with the content of this memoran-
dum, this office would suggest that the Board include this memorandum in
their official record as the official position of the Board of Supervisors
on this date. This would tend to clear up any possible confusion in the
future as to the position of the Board of Supervisors regarding this matter.
When the Building Code issue is resolved, the staff will advise the Board
through another official memorandum.
The Board recesses.
CUP #018 -82 - JACOB PUFFENBERGER - GAINESBORO MAGISTERIAL
DISTRICT - APPROVED
Mr. Horne stated that in his opinion the issue of salvage and scrap
should be separated in this conditional use permit request.
Mr. Jacob Puffenberger appeared before the Board and stated that he had
neighbors and relatives that were willing to testify to the fact that he had
operated a junk business at this location for the past several years.
Mrs. Maddox stated that she felt the question was not whether Mr.
Puffenberger was in the junk business but to what degree he was in the
business.
P.1r. Owings asked Gtr. Puffenberger how long he used the property in
question as a storage place for these automobiles.
Mr. Puffenberger replied since 1971.
Par. James Shumar, a neighbor of Mr. Puffenberger's, appeared before the
Board stating that he felt Par. Puffenberger had been illegally operating a
junkyard as it is defined in the County Ordiance. Fie further stated that he
did not feel the question in this matter was whether Mr. Puffenberger had
been dealing in junk because he had, but that he has been operating a junk
car yard. Par. Shumar further stated that Mr. Puffenberger had obtained a
State license in November of 1973 but that he had not been issued another
State license until 1982 and other than those two licenses Mr. Puffenberger
had no other licenses during this period for the operation of this business.
Pars. Maddox stated that Mr. Puffenberger had agreed to reduce the
number of cars down from the number he has had in the previous years to 20.
38
Discussion followed by the Board as to whether the Board had the right
to reduce the number of cars based on the context of the conditional use
permit.
Mrs. tladdox addressed the question of storage of parts and whether or
not this should be addressed as a condition to the permit.
Mr. Stiles asked why this would be necessary if noone would see the
parts.
Mrs. P,laddox stated that as long as noone would see them she would have
no objection.
Mr. Calvin Fox, Jr., Mr. John Crouse and Mr. Robert Kerns, neighbors of
Mr. Puffenberger, along with Mrs. Judy Lee, his sister, appeared before the
Board to tell what they knew about Mr. Puffenberger's operation, the years
he had had this operation and the amount of vehicles that he had had at this
location at various times.
Mr. Owings asked Mr. Puffenberger why he had not gotten a license since
1973.
Mr. Puffenberger replied because it cost him fifty dollars each time he
would get a license and he did not see any point in having one.
Mrs. Maddox asked if the Board accepted the fact that t1r. Puffenberger
has been in the scrap business, would they then address the ordinance
pertaining to the number of inoperable cars.
Mr. Stiles asked if the State ordinance did not also define automobile
graveyards as being more than five inoperable vehicles.
Mr. Horne
replied this is correct.
Mr. Stiles
stated that the Board could not amend this.
Mr. Horne
stated that is correct, but they don't enforce it either.
Mr. Stiles
asked if we change this, then we have one State and one
local ordinance
of what constitutes an automobile graveyard.
Mrs. Maddox
stated that she would like for the Board to approve the
conditional use
permit but that it did concern her about the condition of
only being able
to have five inoperable cars.
Mr. Horne
stated that the Board did not have to decide on the matter
tonight, that it
could be addressed in the ordinance.
Mr. Stiles
stated that the Planning Commission had tossed this around
quite a few times and the Planning Commissions' conclusion is that the
limit is on inoperable vehicles as defined by the ordinance, which the
Planning Commission just added this definition within the last year.
39
Mr.
Horne
stated that the Planning Commission did not add
it, that it
had been
used
in a Court case.
Mr.
Stiles
asked if an automobile can be economically made
operable,
then they
are not
inoperable vehicles, that is basically what the
County
ordinance
says.
Mr.
Horne
stated that if this is the case, the Board wants
to use the
long definition of inoperable vehicles, it is the definition that is under
junkyards in the ordinance that describes the vehicle. The definition
reads, "Motor vehicles of any kind incapable of being operated and would not
be economically practical to make operative ".
Mr. Riley stated that the Board had two options as he saw it that they
could vote on tonight regarding this matter: 1. The degree of nonconformity
based on the testimony that has been given and the information that Mr.
Horne has received, the degree of nonconformity is twenty vehicles based
upon all of that information. That takes care of identifying it as a
nonconforming use. 2. Take action on the conditional use permit.
Mrs. Maddox stated that with the testimony that had been given at
tonight's meeting, that it has been shown that most of the cars have been
run through, they are brought in, the parts are taken off and they are moved
on and if f1r. Puffenberger is willing to set it at twenty cars that this
would be a fair number for the Board to set.
Mr. Stiles stated that there has been nothing to indicate that in the
testimony given, that the average number of vehicles that Gtr. Puffenberqer
has had have been in the range of thirteen and fourteen and this is what you
are saying if you limit him to twenty vehicles in this junkyard.
Upon motion made by Rhoda W. Maddox, seconded by Kenneth Y. Stiles,
that conditional use permit #018 -82 of Jacob Puffenberger for a public
garage for a towing service and auto repair with the following conditions as
recommended by majority vote of the Planning Commission be approved:
1. This be a one year permit to be reviewed annually by the staff,
Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.
2. If the use, occupancy, or ownership of the property changes, this
conditional use permit shall expire and a new conditional use
permit will be required.
3. All operations are to be fully screened from view from all adjacent
properties and the road.
4. The planned public garage for towing service and auto repair is to
be placed in the area which is presently cleared to the rear of the
property and activities in front of the property are to be cleared
and moved to the rear of the property within one year.
as
5. Limit to five vehicles which are incapable of being operated and
would not be economically practical to be made operative.
The above resolution was passed by the following recorded vote: Aye -
S. Roger Koontz, William H. Baker, Rhoda W. Maddox, David L. Smith and
Kenneth Y. Stiles. Flay - Will L. Owings.
Mr. Stiles stated that as a matter of housekeeping would it be
appropriate for Mr. Puffenberger to subdivide his lot between the portion of
his residence to designate a separate parcel as housing the public garage
and the nonconforming use.
Mr. Horne stated that he would work with Mr. Puffenberger on this.

tion proceedings would not be necessary.
Mr. Koon, Jr. stated that the Frederick - Winchester Service Authority
had wanted to drill holes on their property, not only small holes but larger
ones that would need to be dug by a backhoe and he had a problem with this
due to the fact of his dairy operation.
Mrs. Koon presented a letter to the Board that had been received by
them from Gtr. Wellington Jones and after discussion by the Board it was
noted that some of the points that was addressed in the letter were also
addressed in Executive Session just a few minutes earlier but there are
42
discrepancies between what was said in the letter and what was said in
Executive Session.
Mr. Kuykendall stated that the Frederick - Winchester Service Authority
had said they were willing to pay the Koons $160,000 for this property, but
that he did not feel this was a fair price for the property.
Mr. Smith stated that in view of times being tough, plus he felt the
Board needed to get together again with Mr. Jones to be sure of all the
facts as they now stand, and in light of this he would move to table any
action on this matter until the meeting of February 23, 1983.
Upon motion made by Kenneth Y. Stiles, seconded by David L. Smith and
passed unanimously, that the request of the Frederick - Winchester Service
Authority for an appropriation from the Board of Supervisors of $180,000 as
one -half of the purchase price of the Koon property on Route 7 East be
tabled until the February 23, 1983 Board meeting and that the Service
Authority be directed to try and negotiate a settlement with the Koons
family, if possible, during this time.
UPON MOTION DULY MADE, SECONDED AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY,
IT IS ORDERED THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DO NOW ADJOURN.
