ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
Mr. Horne presented the Ordinance amendments and stated that the
following three Ordinance amendments were to the Residential Performance
section of the Zoning Ordinance. He stated that the first Ordinance amend-
ment, labeled A, concerned the dimensional requirements for zero lot line
housing. This amendment was requested by a local builder and was reviewed

committee and the Commission recommended denial of this request. He stated
that the second Ordinance amendment, labeled B, dealt with the environmental
requirements under the Ordinance and would amend the definition of steep
slopes and amend the disturbance limitations for those slopes. The purpose
of this amendment is to simplify the computations necessary on the Master
Plan. Mr. Horne further stated that the final ordinance amendment, labeled
C, would amend the procedure whereby the Administrator may allow some
variation to the environmental requirements. The Administrator would now
consult with the Planning Commission instead of the Department of Parks and

Rhoda W. Maddox.
Mrs. Maddox stated that she could not vote for the paving of parking
lots in the two County Recreational Parks when there were over 100 miles of
road within her District that needed to be paved.
1. LANDFILL
The Capital Improvements Plan Subcommittee recommends that the
Department of Public Services staff continue to research
alternative technologies for waste disposal and management
techniques and report to the Public Works Committee as soon as
possible. The CIP Subcommittee would also recommend that the
Public Works Committee become actively involved in this process
when that Commitee is reorganized. This research should also
entail a more detailed study of the capabilities of the existing
landfill immediately and include the investigation of adding
additional land to that landfill site to extend its life, as well
as other alternatives. If this were done, it may provide more time
to evaluate the alternatives and for funds to accumulate in the
enterprise fund. The enterprise fund should be monitored on a
systematic basis, possibly monthly, to assure that the accumulation
of funds in that fund for replacement of the landfill or purchase
of new technologies are sufficient. This monitoring should be done
by the Public Works Committee of the Board of Supervisors. Rapid
and consistent progress must be made toward a resolution of all
issues involved in this important project. This should be a high
priority work item for the Public Works Committee during 1984.
Upon motion made by Will L. Owings, seconded by C. William Orndoff, Jr.
and passed unanimously, the above was approved.
2. SCHOOL BOARD PROJECTS
a. Improvement Center Addition
The Northwestern Regional Educational Program has made a
committment to a long -term lease on the Smithfield Avenue
structure. The cost of the addition will be recovered through
rent charges to NRPE. The project is cost effective, given the
alternatives, and should be approved by the Board of
Supervisors.
There was no action taken.
b. Gore /Gainesboro Alternatives
The Board of Supervisors should not approve any application for
literary loan funds until the School Board has submitted its
final recommendation for the alternative projects and those
have been reviewed by the CIP Subcommittee, Planning Commission
and Board of Supervisors.
Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes, seconded by C. William Orndoff,
Jr. and passed unanimously, the above was approved.
C. Outside Facilities, James Wood
The Board of Supervisors should not authorize any grading or
construction activities until the School Board has submitted
plan, recommendations, and their priorities on the ultimate
project. No private contributions should be accepted by the
School Board or Board of Supervisors until the above issues
have been resolved.
343
Mr. Stiles stated that he was not sure that the Board, under the Code
of Virginia, had the authority to direct the School Board with regard to
them accepting free services, and in fact the School Board had already
accepted free services. He further stated that he was not sure the Board
could prevent the School Board from accepting contributions.
Mr. Riley stated that he felt a plan of work was what was being
requested.
Mr. Charlie Hott stated that the School Board had asked the
Administration to submit a plan and recommendation of what they see as the
need is at
Ridge Campus and what
the time
schedule
will be. He
further
stated that
he felt this information
would be
coming
to the School
Board
very shortly.
Mr. Owings stated that he agreed with what was being said but the Board
could not accept this recommendation based on what the School Board was
presently doing.
Mr. Stiles asked if this could be returned to Planning and the Capital
Imrprovements Plan Committee for rephrasing.
The Board agreed that this should be returned to the Planning
Commission and the Capital Improvements Committee.
3. OFFICE SPACE
a. Penny's Building
The CIP Subcommittee recommends that the Board of Supervisors
immediately authorize the expenditure of funds to obtain
professional advice on the renovation costs and options
concerning this structure. The Departments of Social Services
for Frederick County and Winchester have supplied their
requirements to be used in this study.
The Board referred this to the Finance Committee.
b. Administrative Offices
The County Administrator and the Department of Planning and
Development should determine a final plan for relocation of
offices within the administrative offices. The costs of this
project need to be updated to take into account these costs. A
major factor in the determination of the ultimate location of
certain offices should be the accessibility of those offices to
the public, particularly handicapped persons.
Mr. Williamson, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, suggested that the
local Bar be contacted concerning this as this space (Courtroom) might be
needed as an Auxiliary Courtroom.
The Board referred this to the Public Works Committee.
5. PARKS AND RECREATION /POOL FACILITIES
The Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors should, again,
determine the priority of this project prior to any committment of
funding with or without matching funds from the State of
Virginia.
There was no action taken.
6. FIRE AND RESCUE PROJECTS
As far as the CIP Subcommittee can determine, there has been no
substantial progress towards a long -term planning report for
replacement of major equipment county -wide by the fire and rescue
companies and therefore, no funding should be included for these
projects until this long -term planning is submitted to the County.
The Fire and Rescue Committee should place a high priority on
obtaining this planning.
The Board referred this to the Fire and Rescue Committee.
7. REGIONAL JAIL AND GENERATOR FOR FREDERICK COUNTY JAIL
The Subcommittee concurs with the report of the Citizens Advisory
Board on the Regional Jail System. The Subcommittee also
recommends that funds for the jail generator be allocated under the
operating budget and the generator be purchased.
It was noted that this has been included in the budget for the upcoming
year.
8. EMERGENCY SERVICES AND SHERIFF'S RADIO IMPROVEMENT
This item should be funded as an operational item within the
Sheriffs Department budget.
It was noted that this has been included in the budget for the upcoming
year.
9. SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY
The Subcommittee would again recommend that the proceeds from the
sale of any surplus real property, including school facilities,
should be applied to the next funded priority project on the
project list.
Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes, seconded by Will L. Owings and
passed unanimously, the above was approved as amended.
10. PROJECT FUNDING
The Commission does not feel that significant progress has been
made towards instituting a systematic process for funding capital
improvements in Frederick County. The Commission would recommend
that the Board of Supervisors, during calendar year 1984, institute
systematic fiscal policies that would directly address long -term
funding of needed capital improvements.
The Board referred this to the Finance Committe.
ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE 1983 COMPR EHENSIVE PLAN
Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes, seconded by Will L. Owings and
l passed
unanimously, the Comprehensive Plan
was approved with an amendment to
FUTURE LAND USE LOCATIONS for the last
sentence to be
stricken:
(Until
such time as sewer and water facilities
are in place to
serve addi-
tional
areas in the sewer service area of the
regional sewage
treatment
plant,
rezoning applications for urban developments will not
be approved.)
350
REQUEST FOR JOINT WORKSESSION BETWEEN BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
AND PLANNING COMMI
Mr. Horne stated that the Planning Commission would like to have a
joint worksession with the Board of Supervisors on March 5th for the purpose
of briefing the Board and also to obtain the Board's approval of the outline
of the proposed rural development ordinances.
The Board discussed this and asked that the staff arrange another date
inasmuch as the School Board was meeting that night concerning the Gore and
Gainesboro Schools.

referred to the Personnel Committee.

BUDGET DELIBERATIONS
GWEN MANDEL, DIRECTOR, AND PAUL MYERS, CHAIRMAN, SOCIAL
SERVICES BOARD, APPEARED BEFORE THE BOARD TO DISCUSS THE
35
SOCIAL SERVICES BUDGET
Mr. Stiles asked about the funding of the Braddock House.
Mrs. Mandel stated that the Social Services Department does not budget
any line items for institutional placements.
Mr. Stiles referred to Title 20, line item 5715 -00, Page 71 in the
amount of $120,290 and if this amount was for foster care.
Mrs. Mandel stated that this was not only for Foster Care, but Day
Care, the Workshop and others, and that Foster Care is just a part of this
line item.
The Board discussed with Mrs. Mandel the funding of Braddock House and
she explained that the cost for one child at such a residential treatment
center as Leary could cost as much as $30,000 per year, and that that amount
would come out of the line item in question.
Mrs. Mandel stated that they could not recommend that a child be placed
in one of these centers unless the child was already in custody of the
Social Services Department. She further discussed with the Board how the
Judicial system worked in relation to the placement of a child in such a
center as Leary or the Braddock House in relation to the Social Services
Department.
Mr. Stiles stated that he would like to personally recommend in the
strongest possible way that the Social Services Board and Administrative
staff continue to include funding for Braddock House, as he felt personally,
that it is a very important program.
SCHOOL BOARD BUDGET DISCUSSION
Mr. R. Thomas Malcolm and Mr. Charles Hott were present for the discus-
sion of the School Board Budget with the Board.
Mr. Orndoff stated that he noticed in the expenditures, the compensa-
tion of maintenance employees, and it was apparent that an additional $1,600
had been added to that category from the previous Budget, and he asked if
this could be explained.
Mr. Malcolm stated that he did not have an explanation for that at this
time, but that he would research it and get back with Mr. Riley.
Mr. Owings stated that at the School Board Meeting held last evening
the School Board decided to accept the $350,000 in new money for the
upcoming year, and further that there was a question about use of the carry
forward funds.
JIB
Upon motion made by Will L. Owings, seconded by C. William Orndoff, Jr.
and passed unanimously, that the carry forward funds in the amount of
$175,000 from 1983 -84 be authorized to be forwarded to the 1984 -85 School
Board Budget, and that the School Board be requested to report back at the
meeting of March 14th their revisions to the Budget.
Mr. Stiles stated that the basic aid from the Commonwealth is built
into this Budget based on the Governor's Budget, as submitted to the General
Assembly, and further there exists a possibility, perhaps the probability,
that that figure would be increased at such time as the General Assembly
gives final approval to the Budget, which would tend to increase the money
that would be coming back to Frederick County. He stated that if this was
the case, and the School Board would so request, that this Board would
certainly recommend that this amount go toward Teachers' salaries.
PARKS AND RECRE ATION DEPARTMENT BUDGET DISCUSSION
Messers. Cheely, Doran and Britton were present from the Parks and
Recreation Department for this discussion.
Mr. Orndoff questioned the $27,000 for a ditch digger and whether or
not the County was at a point now that they could afford to maintain a piece
of equipment such as this rather than contract this type of work out.
Mr. Cheely stated that this piece of equipment only cost the County
$5,000 and that the amount within the Budget was for the maintenance repair
and upkeep, and up to this point there had been no major repairs necessary.
The various programs offered within the Department were discussed and
Mr. Owings asked if any consideration had been given to eliminating the
programs that were losing money.
Mr. Cheely stated that the Board had said at one time that some of the
youth programs would not be self supporting inasmuch as the fee is only $2,
but this fee could be increased at any time if the Board so wishes.
Mr. Owings inquired about the rent charged at the two parks for private
fund raising tournaments, which are $35 for all day, $50 with lights, $75
for the concession stand and $100 for over 12 teams, and stated that he felt
-- I this was entirely too low.
Upon motion made by Robert M. Rhodes, seconded by C. William Orndoff,
Jr. and passed unanimously, the staff was directed to prepare the Budget for
advertisment as it had been presented with the amendments that have been
adopted. This will be advertised for Public Hearing on March 28th and for
adoption on April 11, 1984.
354
