PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO THE 2004-2005 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET-
PURSUANT TO SECTION 15.2-2507 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA. 1950. AS
AMENDED. THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING
TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2004-2005 BUDGET TO REFLECT: SCHOOL
CONSTRUCTION FUND SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT
OF $3.767.000. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS FUNDS NEEDED ABOVE
ORIGINAL PROJECT ESTIMATES FOR THE ELEVENTH ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL PROJECT. - (RESOLUTION # 064-05) - DIRECTED SCHOOL BOARD
TO REDESIGN AND REBID PROJECT.
Administrator Riley advised that the Board discussed the increased construction costs for the
eleventh elementary school at its last meeting. The projected increase was $2,992,000. After
discussion with the School Board and Parks and Recreation staff, the Board instructed staff to
advertise a budget amendment in the amount of $3,767,000, which would include the projected
increase as well as alternate bid items 1,2, and 3.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
There were no public comments.
Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Fisher asked about the cost of the 60 mil. EPDM roof.
Steve Kapocsi, Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, responded that this cost was
included in the base bid, but was not factored out as a separate cost. The $128,000 additional was
the difference between the 60 mil. and 90 mil. roofing.
Dr. William Dean, Superintendent of Schools, stated that he could get that information from
the architect.
Mr. Kapocsi advised that the structure would be getting an added 10 years of rooflife with
the 90 mil. roof.
Supervisor Fisher stated that he was trying to justify the additional expense.
School Board Chairman Larry VanHoose stated that the School Board felt it was more
important to have a longer life roof than the fritz tile flooring.
Supervisor Fisher asked ifthis design could be made more efficient or redesigned to reduce
costs.

Dr. Dean stated that the project had been value engineered to a $30,000 reduction.
Vice-Chairman Dove stated that he had been looking at the price ofthis project and felt there
was a need to look at spending the citizens' money more wisely. He cited the prototype school that
was 71,000 square feet with a student capacity of644; however, this school had the same capacity,
but was 81,000 square feet. He went on to say that he had calculated this building every way he
could and he had trouble coming up with 81,000 square feet. He stated that he was aware
construction costs were up, but felt the only way to save money on this project was to reduce the size
of the school.
Vice-Chairman Dove moved to direct the School Board to redesign and rebid the 11 th
elementary school with a maximum square footage of 77 ,000 square feet, student capacity of 644
students, and with the enlarged, 6,000 square foot, gymnasium. This proposal does not include
alternate #1 referenced in the May 4, 2005 letter from Philip Pappas, Oliver, Webb, Pappas, &
Rhudy, Inc. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Ewing.
Supervisor Tyler expressed concern about how long this process would take.
Dr. Dean advised that the redesign process was expensive and the School Board would be
losing the bid estimates that were presently submitted. He concluded by saying that he did not know
if this process would save any money and the school would not be able to open by August 2006.
Supervisor Forrester asked ifthere was an educational reason that the school's eapacity was
644 students.
Dr. Dean responded that going beyond 644 students made it difficult to match the students
needs and manage the student population. He went on to say that he anticipated the eleventh
elementary school opening with 600 or more students.
Supervisor Ewing asked if the state recommended capacity for schools.
Dr. Dean responded that the Standards of Quality (SOQ' s) talk about class size, which varies
by grade level.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she could appreciate Vice-Chairman Dove's comments;
however, she believed this project needed to go forward and that back tracking would be counter
productive. She concluded by saying that joint meetings between the School Board and Board of
Supervisors were warranted to address these issues in the future. She concluded by saying that she
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of OS/25/05
541
would like to go forward with this project as proposed.
Supervisor Forrester stated that this project was past due and that the school was needed.
She concluded by saying that construction costs would go up.
Supervisor Fisher stated that a cost of$159 per square foot was high for this type of building.
He stated that some changes needed to be made and there would always be a risk in rebidding a
project as to whether one would save money or the project would cost more.
Supervisor Ewing stated that the County needed to build schools that the tax payers could
afford.
Supervisor Forrester asked about the state average construction cost per square foot.
Mr. Kapocsi responded that the average was $124 per square foot when this project began.
V ice-Chairman Dove reviewed the plans and additions, which were over and above Red Bud
and Orchard View. He stated that the additional items were restrooms, which he could accept ifthe
school was being expanded. He went on to say that he was told an expansion of this school would
not happen; therefore, the extra space was not justified.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she thought the process had moved to a point where it
would be "foolish" to go back.
There being no further discussion, the motion to redesign and rebid the school was approved
by the following recorded vote:

542
Winchester Motor Services on January 26, 2000, to operate a public garage without body repair on
property identified with Property Identification Number 55-A-102 in the Red Bud Magisterial
District. Staff received a complaint regarding violations ofthe Frederick County Zoning Ordinance
at this property. Staff inspected the property on December 21, 2004 and noted the presence of
tractor trailers, debris, and tires located on the property. A letter of violation was issued, as was a
notice of revocation for violations ofthe conditions of Conditional Use Permit #30-99. The Planning
Commission considered this application at its February 2,2005 meeting and voted unanimously to
table the revocation for 90 days to allow the property owner time to clean up the site and in order
to come into compliance with the conditional use permit. At the end of the 90-day period, the permit
came back to the Planning Commission for action based on staffs report and evaluation ofthe site
clean-up and permit compliance. Stafffound the site, as of May 4,2005, had not been brought into
compliance with the conditions set forth in CUP# 30-99 or the County Zoning Ordinance. Zoning
Administrator Cheran noted that the Frederick County Fire Marshal and Frederick County Solid
Waste Coordinator have initiated violation cases against the property owner. The Planning
Commission, at its May 4,2005 meeting, unanimously recommended that the conditional use permit
be revoked. Zoning Administrator Cheran advised that staff had visited the site this morning and
found it not to be in compliance.
Sheila W. Beach, property owner and applicant, advised that she has removed some of the
steel on the property. She stated that the person currently occupying the property has an eviction
notice that will expire today. She went on to say that she was seeking financial assistance and more
time to remove the debris. She concluded by saying that she did not intend to go to jail over this.
Chairman Shickle asked why the situation had gotten so bad.
Ms. Beach responded that she did not currently have the money to pay for the clean up. She
also stated that the property had been re-Ieased and the new owner dismembered vehicles on site.
She concluded by saying she realized that she would have to take responsibility for this.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Liz Hammond, Red Bud District and adjoining property owner, askcd the Board not to be
lenient with this situation. She stated that the propcrty is a mess and she has had transients in her
backyard. She concluded by urging the Board to enforce this revocation.

Roger Harteau, Red Bud District and adjoining property owner, concurred with Ms.
Hammond. He cited problems with the tractor trailers. He stated that the property was some better,
but was not clean.
There being no further public comments, the Board closed the public hearing.
Ms. Beach stated that she made bad choices in leasing the property and she had no intention
ofleaving the debris. She apologized for the person who was there now and stated that he knew he
was not allowed to have tractor and trailers on the site. She concluded by saying that she has done
the best she can do.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Forrester, seconded by Supervisor Tyler, the Board approved
the revocation of Conditional Use Permit #30-99.

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT MODEL - PATRICK BARKER WITH ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION - NO ACTION TAKEN
Economic Development Director Patrick Barker appeared before the Board to discuss the
development impact model. He reviewed the five components of the proposed model:
1. Use of the Development Impact Model's outputs for understanding projected capital
facilities impacts of rezoning request.
2. Revenue assignment for understanding projected capital facilities impacts of a rezoning
request.
3. School children per dwelling unit.
4. Use of Development Impact Model's licenses.
5. Process for updating the Development Impact Model.
Director Barker stated that the work group desired to use this model for long term planning.
Chairman Shickle asked if that was staffs recommendation.
Planning Director Lawrence stated that staff was comfortable with using this model with a
. .
rezonmg exercise.
Director Barker reviewed the five components and the Planning Commission's
recommendation for each.
1. Use of the Development Impact Model's outputs for understanding projected capital
facilities impacts of rezoning request. - The Planning Commission recommended
utilizing outputs from the Development Impact Model as a replacement to the
Capital Facilities Impact Model, which would require the County to maintain only
one model for use in development proposals and comprehensive planning exercises.
2. Revenue assignment for understanding projected capital facilities impacts of a rezoning
request. - The Planning Commission recommended utilizing Option #2, which
assigned revenue credit to be applied to the rezoning petition. A share of this credit
would be distributed to each capital facility based on the total capital facilities
projected.
Chairman Shickle asked if this credit would be given to projects that did not propose a
development phasing plan.
Director Barker responded that if a proposed rezoning did not indicate a phasing plan then
the credits would not be calculated.
Minute Book Nnmber 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of OS/25/05
51+5
Chairman Shickle expressed concern that this conversation relative to implementing a new
model still dealt with philosophy, use, and procedure.
3. School Children per Dwelling Unit. - The Planning Commission recommended
Option #2, which would be based upon updated accurate and reliable information
from Frederick County Public Schools. The current values would continue to be
used until such time as statistically reliable, financially responsible replacement
values are acquired. Should Option #2 not be feasible, then other options would be
examined, including contracting with a private contractor to perform a database
analysis of the US Census data.
4. Use of Development Impact Model Licenses. - The Planning Commission
recommended the following license assignment: 1 - Finance Department; 2 -
Planning & Development Department; 1 - County Administration; and 1 -
Economic Development Commission.
5. Process for Updating the Development Impact Model - The Planning Commission
recommended an annual review/update of critical inputs, which would take place
approximately 2 months aftcr adoption of the County's budget and appointment
of a committee to oversee the update process.
Director Barker stated that this was the most significant task relative to the success of the
Model.
After Director Barker's presentation, Chairman Shickle stated that he has tried to understand
what was included in the agenda materials, but could not vote yes on this proposal tonight.
Supervisor Ewing echoed Chairman Shickle's remarks.
Chairman Shickle stated that he thought the Board would be looking at an alternate model
that gives the same answer as the current model; however, he was not comfortable with getting a
different answer under the new model.
Director Barker stated the same costs would be derived from the capital facilities portion,
but the actual proffer values cannot be determined in the proposed model.
Assistant Administrator Tierney advised that the model was calibrated by running a similar
project through the old model and new model. The results were very similar.
Chairman Shickle polled the Board as to their desire to move forward with this project. The
Board consensus was to get this project completed; however, they would like to see a parallel run
of the new and old systems in order to see the significance of any cost discrepancies.
Chairman Shickle advised Director Barker that the Board would wait for him to come back
with additional information.
DISCUSSION - REOUEST FOR EXPANSION OF THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT
AREA (UDAl AND PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO THE WESTERN JUBAL
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of OS/25105
5hG
EARLY LAND USE PLAN (WJELUP) - DEFERRED UNTIL THE JULY 13. 2005
MEETING
Senior Planner Susan Eddy appeared before the Board regarding this item. She advised that
this was a request for an expansion of the Urban Development Area (UDA) to include the
Solenberger/Bridgeforth properties. This item was discussed by the Comprehensive Plans and
Programs Subcommittee, which was supportive of this request and suggested that a land use plan
accompany this UDA expansion request. She went on to say that staff was directed to modify the
Western Jubal Early Land Use Plan to incorporate the entire quadrant bound by the City of
Winchester to the east, Cedar Creek Grade (Route 622) to the south, Route 37 to the west, and
Merriman's Lane and the City of Winchester to the north. She noted that two small parcels in this
same area, not part of the Solenberger/Bridgeforth properties are also included in this expansion.
Senior Planner Eddy advised that the CPPS considered this proposal at four meetings with much of
the discussion focusing on transportation, particularly how an interchange at Jubal Early Drive and
Route 37 could be constructed. The Planning Commission discussed this item at its May 4,2005
meeting and raised a number of questions concerning transportation and schools.
The proposed modifications to the West J ubal Early Land Use Plan designated development
sensitive areas such as Abrams Creek. The predominant land use in the area will be residential with
some mixed use (25%-50%) at the intersection of Route 37 and Cedar Creek Grade. The revised
plan calls for schools, parks, and walking trails. The key transportation component is the extension
of Jubal Early Drive to the new Route 37 interchange and a new co lIector road between Cedar Creek
Grade and Jubal Early Drive.
Senior Planner Eddy advised that the CPPS was generally supportive ofthe UDA expansion
request and they agreed to the revised transportation wording. It was noted that the applicant had
requested "softer" language regarding Route 37. She concluded by saying that staff was seeking
comments from the Board of Supervisors and if it was the Board's desire this item could be
scheduled for public hearing.
Evan Wyatt, Greenway Engineering, appeared before the Board on behalf ofthe applicant.
He stated that the only concern raised during this process dealt with transportation. He advised that
the applicant would like the opportunity for public private participation in the transportation plan
and stated that the revised language makes a distinction about the proposed Route 37 interchange.

Chairman Shickle advised the Board that staff had drafted a letter to Dr. Phillip C. Stone,
Commonwealth Transportation Board, requesting a determination as to whether or not an access
break along Route 37, at this location, is necessary.
Administrator Riley stated that the County might have to look at a new transportation plan
should construction of this vital component not bc possible.
Supervisor Fisher stated that this was an issue and he agreed with the proposed letter.
Administrator Riley then read the letter for the benefit of the applicant:
Dear Dr. Stone:
Frederick County is currently considering a comprehensive plan amendment that includes
a new interchange improvement on Route 37. The interchange as proposed would provide direct
access to Jubal Early Drive extended.
Extensive discussions have occurred between the developer and both governing bodies of
the city and county. The local metropolitan planning organization has the issue under consideration.
Before this issue is finalizcd, we think it is appropriate to formally request the
Commonwealth Transportation Board, through you, to determine if such an improvement to Route
37 would pass the Commonwealth Transportation Board's requirements for inclusion.
With the Frederick County Board of Supervisors concurrence, I am officially requesting that
the Commonwealth Transportation Board determine ifthis interchange as proposed would qualify
for full or partial access. Virginia Departmcnt of Transportation's consideration on an expcdited
basis would be appreciated.
If you have any questions about this request, please contact John Riley, Frederick County
Administrator.
Sincerely,
Richard C. Shickle
Chairman, Board of Supervisors
Mr. Wyatt agreed that this was something the County and the applicant needed to know and
if it was not workable because of the Commonwealth Transportation Board, then it would be even
more critical to get the UDA expansion approved in order to get the propose north/south road.
Jerry Copp, VDOT Resident Engineer, agreed that Route 37 access was a critical piece to
know.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Fisher, seconded by Supervisor Ewing, the Board authorized
the Chairman to sign and send the letter to Dr. Stone.

DISCUSSION - TASKER WOODS LAND USE PLAN (TWLUP) - APPROVED
ORIGINAL APPLICATION FOR PUBLIC HEARING: REFERRED ADDED
PARCELS TO CPPS FOR FURTHER STUDY
Senior Planner Susan Eddy appeared before the Board regarding this item. She advised that,
on February 9, 2005, the Board directed the Planning Commission to study and return to the Board
of Supervisors a land use plan and recommendation regarding the inclusion of 89 acres of land in
the Tasker Woods area into the Urban Development Area. The Comprehensive Plans and Programs
Subcommittee felt it would be appropriate to study the cntire area bounded by Tasker Road, Front
Royal Pike, and the current UDA boundary, encompassing approximately 183 acres. The CPPS
members were agreeable to the mix of uses proposed on the applicant's site. The members felt that
commercial uses were appropriate on the other parcels in the study area as they were adjacent to
commercialjindustrialland on Tasker Road; however, the committee could not agree on the land
uses to the north along Route 522. The Planning Commission discussed this application and was
divided over the undesignated properties. Some members believed land use designation was not
needed at this time while others felt the plan should not go forward to the Board until
recommendations were included. Senior Planner Eddy advised that if this plan was adopted then
it would form an element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Supervisor Forrester asked how many acres were left undesignated in this proposal.
Senior Planner Eddy responded approximately 30 acres.
Clay Athey appeared before the Board on behalf ofthe applicant. He stated that he agreed
in principal with Mrs. Eddy's summary of how this application got here. He advised that the
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of OS/25/05
5L~ 9
applicant had filed an application for 89 acres; however, the CPPS wanted to include more land in
this plan. He went on to say that what the applicant wanted to do is consistent with the plan and the
89 acres are ready to go to public hearing. He concluded by saying that it might be best for the
property owners of the other parcels to discuss the future land uses in those areas.
Supervisor Fisher distributed a map outlining the original request in red. He stated that he
believed the applicant had followed the process and therefore, moved that the Board send the
original request for UDA expansion to the Planning Commission for public hearing and send the
parcels added by the CPPS back to the Planning Commission and CPPS in order to allow those
property owners to go through the entire plan development process.
The motion was seconded by Supervisor Ewing.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she thought the Sewer and Water Service Area and Urban
Development Area expansion were legitimate and she had trouble delaying the implementation of
the land use plan for the area. She went on to say that she would like to move forward with the
entire area from Route 277 north (the Route 277 Triangle). She asked Supervisor Fisher to take each
action separately rather than include them in one motion.
Supervisor Forrester echoed Supervisor Van Osten's concerns and stated that she would like
to see the undesignated areas defined.
After further discussion, Supervisor Fisher withdrew his original motion.
Supervisor Fisher moved to send the Tasker Woods Urban Development Area expansion,
as outlined in red on the map, to the Planning Commission for public hearing.
The motion was seconded by Supervisor Ewing.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she was supportive of putting this request forward and
supported the separation of the two issues.
Supervisor Forrester expressed concern that transportation issues relative to this application
might impact the development of the surrounding properties.

Zoning and Subdivision Administrator Mark Cheran appeared before the Board on behalf
of this item. He stated that the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee, at its April

Ordinance. The proposed amendment would insure that inter-parcel connector streets are developed
between adjoining parcels. The Planning Commission discussed this item and forwarded it to the
Board for discussion. He concluded by saying that the Board could send this item forward for public
hearing, if they felt it was appropriate.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Forrcstcr, seconded by Supervisor Van Osten, the Board sent
