auction service. After discussing each option in detail, the committee unanimously endorsed the

approve the auction option for the sale of ShawneeLand lots. He advised that a contract for auction
services was being reviewed by legal counsel.

Supervisor Van Osten reviewed some points expressed by ShawneeLand manager David
Burleson regarding the auction option:

- The price on all ofthe lots would be frozen until the end of the day, which would allow
people to bid on individual lots.
- If the successful bid on all of the lots exceeds the amount the Sanitary District would
receive from the individual sales, then this bid would be used to establish a base price
for the individual lots from which property owners would begin bidding.
Supervisor Tyler moved that the Board pursue the auction of the ShawneeLand surplus
property. The motion was seconded by Vice-Chairman Dove.
Supervisor Van Osten asked if there would be an opportunity for more Board input on the
mechanics of this sale after tonight.

Deputy Planning Director Mike Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this application.
He advised that this property was part of the Northeast Land Use Plan. The applicant proposes a
rezoning of 9.442 acres from M2 (General Industrial) District to B3 (Industrial Transition) District
and IA (Interstate Overlay) District and 2.736 acrcs from RA (Rural Areas) Districtto B3 (Industrial
Transition) District and IA (Interstate Overlay) District with proffers. The total acreage to be
rezoned B3 and IA is 12.178 acres. The property is located in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 06/22/05
575
The request for Interstate Overlay designation will allow signage similar to that of the existing
Flying J. The proposed rezoning would require improvements to new and existing roads, with Route
11 improvements being part of the Comprehensive Plan. According to traffic impact analysis
studies, this development would generate approximately 4,800 trips per day. The projections at
build out are acceptable and manageable at a service level C. Deputy Director Ruddy noted that
transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan should be addressed in this application. He then
reviewed the proposed proffers:
A monetary contribution in the amount of $1 0,000 to Parks & Recreation.
An architectural site plan that depicts the general layout of the site, although additional
clarity could be provided.
A full right turn lane along the frontage of the property.
Electric stations for the 31 truck parking spaces and oil and water separators to address
environmental impacts ofthis project.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its June 1, 200S meeting with approximately 29
people speaking in opposition to this project and 2 people speaking in favor. The Planning
Commission, by majority vote, recommended denial of this application. Since the Planning
Commission meeting, the applicant has submitted updated proffers with the most significant change
addressing the average daily truck trips along the adjacent portion of Route 11.
Mark Stivers, Attorney for the applicant, appeared before the Board regarding this
application. He presented a copy ofthe revised proffer statement for the record. He stated that Mr.
Manning wanted to be a good business partner to Frederick County. Mr. Stivers advised that this
area was focused on as part ofthe Northeast Land Use Plan. This application seeks to do away with
the M2 zoning, which is the most intense industrial district in the ordinance. Mr. Stivers stated that
he agreed with the Board six years ago as he too thought this proposal to be premature at that time.
Now, however, the bridge and water and sewer service are in place. He advised that approximately
30% of the site is set aside as green space, the size of the facility has been reduced, and
electrification has been provided so the trucks will not have to run constantly. He went on to say
that the residents' concern of increased truck traffic was not addressed at the Planning Commission.
The applicant has proposed a proffer that would result in no new trucks being anticipated in the area
as a result of his business. An agreement was exeeuted between the Mannings and the Sempeles to
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meetiug of 06/22/05
576
reduce and cap the number of truck trips at build out of the respective projects. Mr. Stivers stated
that this was an enforceable proposal and traffic impact analyses would be taken to see that the
agreement was not being violated and at the end often days, if violations continue, Mr. Manning
would shut down his business. Mr. Stivers then reviewed uses permitted under the current M2
zoning and stated that when this proposal is considered versus what is currently allowed on this
property, it is unreasonable to deny this project. Mr. Stivers reviewed the positive economic
impacts to the County. He went on to say that he believed the northbound traffic would benefit and
this use would reduce congestion on the existing bridge. He concluded by requesting that the Board
vote yes on this proposal.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Ed Butler, Stonewall District and member of Clearbrook Citizens for Safety, stated that
there were still safety issues relative to this project. He stated that the existing roads, lanes, and
bridges would need to be improved. There are also air pollution problems and he could not see this
project working in that location. He concluded by saying that he hoped the Board says no.
David Ogle, Opequon District and truck driver, stated that the Flying J is the most congested
truck stop that he has seen and he believes this project will relieve that congestion.
Tim Johnson, Stonewall District, presented a petition with 168 signatures opposing this
project. He advised that two unresolved issues were possible well contamination and poor air
quality. He concluded by showing pictures of the two affected intersections.
Phil Roby, Stonewall District, stated that he was not sure how the oil/water separator would
handle cloud bursts. He also knows first hand about the traffic problems at the Flying J. He
concluded by requesting that the Board limit the amount of fuel bays to reduce truck traffic.
Randall Frazier, Stonewall District, stated that traffic in that area was a mess. He also had
concerns about residents living in front of a truck stop because of the light and noise pollution. He
concluded by asking the Board to consider the citizens.
George Sempeles, Stonewall District, stated that the Comprehensive Plan calls for industrial
and business uses from Clearbrook to the state line and ifthe Board denied this rezoning then they
were saying that the Comprehensive Plan was no good. He went on to say that this rezoning could
not be painted with the same brush as the Flying J. He concluded by saying that another truck stop
Minute Book Number 30
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 06/22/05
57!
would be a benefit to the County and he was in favor of this proposal.
John Light, Stonewall District, spoke in opposition to this proposal. He stated that he felt
he made a mistake in the denial of the B2 rezoning. He advised the Board to approve the requested
B2 zoning, but revise the proffer eliminate a truck stop use on the property.
Cathy Whitten, Stonewall District, spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning. She stated
that ifthc Board passes the rezoning she is concerned about trucks leaving the proposed truck stop
and traveling down Route 321.
Mr. Stivers noted that the photographs of traffic congestion viewed by the Board were the
result of an accident in the area and not a result of a business.
Supervisor Tyler asked about the enforceability ofthe revised proffer concerning truck trips
per day.
Deputy Director Ruddy stated there would be great emphasis on staffs involvement in
monitoring the traffic.
Supervisor Tyler stated that she was concerned about enforceability of the proffer and the
drain this would put on staff. She asked about the difference between convenience store and service
station.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that VDOT and the applicant have worked together to see
what the impact would be. Fast food was added to the convenience use in order to plan for a worst
case scenano.
Supervisor Tyler asked ifthe site plan developed by the applicant was for an 8,400 square
foot building.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded correct.
Deputy Director Ruddy reviewed the proffered road improvements for this rezoning. He
advised that there was inconsistency in the lane geometry and what is being proffered.
John Cardlow, Patton, Harris, Rust, & Associates, advised that he showed all turn lanes
with the exception ofthe second left turn lane. The traffic impact analysis represents a service level
C.
T. Pat Manning, applicant, stated that he would know how many transactions his business
was doing and he told staff that they might want to monitor the truck traffic relative to the revised

, 578
proffer. He went on to say that a monitor would not be there all of the time, but he could put trip
counters down to ensure compliance. He concluded by saying that the proffer that he set forth is
"draconian".
Supervisor Van Osten asked about the impact analysis of sewage treatment.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that the Frederick County Sanitation Authority project
has been on the books for some time. He stated that a cap would be placed on the sewer, but this
proposal has been accommodated in this cap.
Supervisor Fisher asked Attorney Ambrogi about the enforceability of the revised proffer.
Attorney Ambrogi expressed some concern as he had not seen anything like this. He stated
that the parties (Manning/Sempeles) do have an agreement, but Sempeles would not be bound by
the proffer.
Chairman Shickle asked if the Board had Attorney Bob Mitchell review this proposed
proffer.
Administrator Riley responded no.
Chairman Shickle asked "should we",?
Administrator Riley responded that staff could have it reviewed, but he did not think there
would be a disagreement on enforceability.
Deputy Director Ruddy advised that Mr. Mitchell's comments were addressed in the June
15,2005 revised proffer statement.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Tyler, seconded by Supervisor Forrester, the Board denied
rezoning #07-05.
Supervisor Tyler stated that the primary goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to protect and
improve life in Frederick County.
Supervisor Ewing stated that he thought this was a good project and good tax base, but was
concerned about the amount of traffic.
Supervisor Van Osten echoed Supervisor Ewing's comments.
