REOUEST FROM FREDERICK COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR A PUBLIC
HEARING AND APPROVAL OF A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION IN THE
AMOUNT OF $2.992.000 FOR THE ELEVENTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
PROJECT. - APPROVED REOUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING WITH AMENDED
AMOUNT OF $3.722.000
Administrator Riley advised that the School Board is requesting thc Board of Supervisors
consider and approve a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $2,992,000 for the eleventh
elementary school. The reason this request is being added to tonight's agenda has to do with timing
issues. First, the bid prices are good only until June 20, 2005, which is 60 days after the bid opening
date. Second, the building is scheduled to open in August 2006. This proposal would require a
public hearing, which the school hopes the Board will authorize for its May 25, 2005 meeting.
Administrator Riley concluded by saying that the Board action this evening would be to authorize
a public hearing, which could be held on May 25,2005, ifit is the Board's desire.
Vice-Chairman Dove asked what the total square footage of the new elementary school
would be.
Dr. William Dean, Superintendent of Schools, responded that it was approximately 81,500
square feet.
Vice-Chairman Dove stated that he was told Parks and Recreation's basic recreation facilities
were included in the 81,500 square feet.
Dr. Dean responded "not by us." He went on to say that the school was looking to expand
this facility to accommodate 644 students rather than 528.
Phil Pappas, architect, advised that the basic recreation facilities were not part ofthe original
bid proposal. The base bid included the larger gym and two storage rooms for parks and recreation;
however, in the revised bid additional seats and restrooms were added.
Vice-Chairman Dove advised that he would like to look at plans so he could see what was
being done with the facility. He went on to say that he would not be voting for this proposal this
evemng.
Mr. Pappas stated that the additional square footage in the revised proposal was due to added
resource rooms and gang toilets.
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meetiug of 05111105
500
Chairman Shickle asked ifthe $730,000 is added to the price would the gym be larger than
the one at Orchard View?
Supervisor Van Osten stated that the capacity was increased to accommodate more students.
She went on to say that she was for a larger gym because of the record needs in that area.
Supervisor Fisher asked to see a line item breakdown of the bids in order to get a price
comparIson.
Mr. Pappas responded that he did not usually get that type of information until a contract was
signed, but if it was available, he would provide it to the Board.
Supervisor Ewing asked how long ago the original estimate was given.
Mr. Pappas responded 2000 with the latest revisions occurring in the fall of 2004.
Supervisor Ewing stated that this seemed like a very large increase.
Mr. Pappas responded that the real jump in prices occurred about nine months ago.
Supervisor Ewing asked ifthe proposed rooffor the new school had been upgraded from the
original proposal.
Mr. Pappas responded that the specs called for the same type of roof as is on the Admiral
Byrd Middle School.
Supervisor Tyler stated that she believed in the co-location of facilities. She asked
representatives from Parks & Recreation to discuss the challenges of utilizing a gym that is the size
of the one at Orchard View versus what is being proposed.
Brenda Diehl, Superintendent of Recreation, stated that she found the gym at Orchard View
to be too crowded; therefore, there was a need for more space because ofthe amount of participation
in programs. She went on to say that a larger gym gave Parks and Recreation more opportunities
to create programs for adults and would allow room to grow.
Chairman Shickle stated that this item was added to the agenda tonight for the purpose of
scheduling a public hearing; however, there are a number of requests for additional information.
He asked Dr. Dean what would happen if the public hearing was not scheduled for the May 25th
meeting.
Dr. Dean responded that the building was scheduled to open in August 2006 and the project
was already a month behind; therefore, any further delay would put the project that much farther
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05/11105
. r
501
behind schedule.
Chairman Shickle asked the Board for their thoughts on this issue.
Vice-Chairman Dove stated that he was "100%" in favor of the Parks and Recreation gym
space; however, he had an issue with the estimated square footage. He did not believe that the 5,600
square feet of additional building space was all for Parks and Recreation. He would like to see more
information on this square footage.
Mr. Pappas stated that this information was included in the original bid documents. The
plans specified square footage and usage; therefore, there could not be a misinterpretation from
reading the plans.
Supervisor fisher stated that he would like to see a line item break down of the costs.
Chairman Shickle stated that it appeared the bid documents would answer at least two
supervisors' questions.
Supervisor Ewing suggested a work session with members of the school board, the architect,
and those Board of Supervisors members interested in attending, to review this project.
Administrator Riley stated that it would expedite the process jf the architect would make
himself available to meet with interested board members prior to the public hearing date to answer
the Board's questions.
Supervisor Tyler asked if the proposed $2,992,000 price included alternates 1,2,3, and 47
Superintendent Dcan responded that the price only included alternatives 3 and 4.
Supervisor Tyler asked about the 52 parking spaces.
Mr. Pappas statcd that the thought was this would be an ideal way to pick up additional
parking spaces to serve two facilities.
Chairman Shickle stated that he thought thc revised bid of $12,997,000 included all of the
alternates below.
Superintendent Dean rcsponded by saying that amount only covered the cost of construction.
He went on to say that the School Board approved options 3 and 4; however, this request does not
address Parks and Recreation's items.
Chairman Shickle noted that the same bid time table would apply to the items for Parks and
Recreation.

Supervisor Tyler noted that if the items for Parks and Recreation were included then the
Board would need to advertise an amount of $3,722,000.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Tyler, seconded by Supervisor Van Osten, the Board approved
to advertise for public hearing a supplemental appropriation for the eleventh elementary school to
include the added items for Parks and Recreation in the amount of $3,772,000.
Supervisor Fisher stated that amount did not include the additional 52 parking spaces.
Supervisor Van Osten responded correct.
Supervisor Fisher stated that he would like the advertised amount to include the 52 parking
spaces because the Board would have the option ofredueing the appropriation amount following the
public hearing, but if they were not included now they could not be added later.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Fisher, seconded by Supervisor Forrester, the Board amended
the original motion to add $45,000 for the 52 parking spaces to the advertised amount.
The above motion was approved by the following reeorded vote:

Chairman Shickle recommended that this proposal be sent forward to the Planning Commission and
other committees for review and for examination and comparison to existing ordinances to see what
changes would need to be made. Once the questions and concerns are addressed then these changes
would be sent forward for public hearing.
Upon a motion by Vice-Chairman Dove, seconded by Supervisor Fisher, the Board approved
sending this proposal to the Planning Commission for review and study.
Supervisor Tyler asked about the rural preservation set aside bonuses.
Chairman Shickle advised that a landowner could set aside as much land as he/she wanted;
however, there would be no density bonuses greater than 50%.
Supervisor Tyler stated that she did not think the Board should encourage public streets in
the rural areas and asked that this issue be addressed.
Chairman Shickle stated that the Committee could recommend a waiver process.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she believed 30,000 square foot lots were only appropriate
in the rural community centers and not for the entire RA area. She also believed that any type of
communal system should be a dedicated system. She concluded by thanking the Chairman for his
work on this issue.
Supervisor Dove thanked all of the citizens who were involved through the Rural Areas
study process.

the Board with feedback regarding the Comprehensive Plan update and Zoning Ordinance
amendments.
Supervisor Forrester asked what separates the Urban Development Amendment from the

! 510
Conditional Permits:
The committee unanimously endorsed the idea oflimiting the
issuance of conditional permits to the repair of failing health
systems or to properties with extenuating circumstances. The
use of conditional permits for new home construction would
be prohibited.
Drainfield Reserve Area:
The issue related to the increase ofthe drainfield reserve are
from 50 to 100 percent was narrowly endorsed by a vote 0
three to two. Further discussion suggested that this issue be
applied to newly created lots only, rather than existing platted
lots.
Wellhead Protection Area:
This change would increase the wellhead protection distance
from 50 to 100 feet from points of contamination. The
committee recommended thatthis issue be tabled and referred
to the Health Department for additional information.
Establishment of a Health Approval Fee: The committee unanimously approved the
idea of establishing an additional fee to
provide funding for new health official
positions and field inspectors.
After receiving input from the board of supervisors, the above issues will be formatted as
changes to local ordinances and referred to the Code and Ordinance Committee for their review and
action.
The Board discussed the proposed changes to local health system regulations.
Chairman Shickle asked why the conditional use permits for new construction were needed.
Administrator Riley stated that the Board could give policy direction to the Health
Department advising them not to issue anymore conditional permits for new construction. He
advised that the State was the entity charged with issuing these permits and not the County. He
concluded by saying that he would add this item to the next board agenda.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she believed this topic was very important.
After some discussion, it was the Board's consensus to let the Code and Ordinance
Committee review changes to the conditional use permit issue.
2. Status of Revisions to Erosion and Sediment lE&S) Control Ordinance
Mr. Joe Wilder indicated that the proposed revisions to the E & S control ordinance had been
reviewed by the Code and Ordinance Committee. The only point of contention which arose from

a target date for completion of the project.

revenue source for the County. The Planning Commission reviewed this application and
recommended approval. Senior Planner Eddy noted that the applicant has prepared a revised set of
proffers, dated May 2,2005, per the Planning Commission's comments. She concluded by saying
that the proposed Route 50 entrance is contrary to the Round Hill Community Plan and staff
encourages elimination of this proposed entrance.
Chuck Maddox, Patton Harris Rust & Associates, appeared before the Board on behalf of
the applicant. He advised that the Planning Commission talked extensively about transportation.
He believes that the entrance off of Route 50 would allow east bound traffic to access the site and
then leave via the signalized intersection on Ward Avenue. He went on to say that a right turn only
lane was approved on west bound Route 50 as part of the rezoning for the Winchester Medical
Center property. With regard to a proposed inter parcel connector with the adjoining property, Mr.
Maddox stated that the adjoining property would have to go through the rezoning process, etc.
before the applicant would consider it. He concluded by saying that traffic from nine acres of
commercial development could not be run through the bank parking lot.

property to be rezoned.
Mr. Maddox responded that it was located in the VDOT right-of-way.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Robert Funkhouser, Back Creek District, advised that he was the owner ofthe adjoining
parcel and desired to rezone his property in the future. He hoped the proposed turn lane did not
negatively impact the potential development of his property.
Donald Unger, President of Marathon Bank, showed drawings ofthe proposed facility and
advised that the applicant would work with the adjacent property owners.
There being no further public comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Forrester asked VDOT's representative for insight regarding the proposed right
in only entrance.
Resident Engineer Jerry Copp advised that VDOT had not been involved in any discussions
regarding a possible shared right in only entrance. He advised that VDOT would not allow a right-
out exit at that location.
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05/11/05

Supervisor Van Osten asked if it would be appropriate, at any point along the road frontage,
to have a right out exit.
Engineer Copp advised that it would be possible if the entrance was kept to the west of the
Funkhouser property. He further stated that there would be a continuous right turn lane across the
front of the Funkhouser property to the bank entrance.
Chainnan Shickle asked if this proposal before the Board negatively impacted the
Funkhouser property.
Engineer Copp responded "not in my opinion". He went on to say that VDOT would not
allow a crossover at that site.
Supervisor Forrester asked if there was value in an inter parcel connector.
Engineer Copp responded that he could see value, but he did not know where it would go
to connect with Ward Avenue.

approved Rezoning #05-05 with the proffers as stated.
