COUNTY TREASURER TO PRESENT ANNUAL REPORT
Frederick County Treasurer C. William Orndoff, II. appeared before the Board to present
his annual report. The report dealt with tax collections for FY 2003. He advised the Board that
there would be issues affecting the State personal property tax reimbursement beginning in 2006,

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR CITY OF WINCHESTER TRANSIT
EXTENSION IN TO FREDERICK COUNTY - APPROVED AS AMENDED
Administrator Riley advised that this proposed memorandum of agreement would create two
fixed transit routes designed to travel into Frederick County. The total cost of the program is
estimated at $132,746. Estimated revenues decrease the total cost to $129,413. Of this amount,
$122,942 would be paid by a grant, with the County share estimated at $6,741. The City will act
as the fiscal agent for this project.
Winchester Transit Authority Director Gary Lofton appeared before the Board regarding this
item. He advised that the Authority was looking at leasing rather than purchasing buses for these
routes.
Planning Director Eric Lawrence reviewed the proposed routes and advised that they were
trying to capture retail, industrial, and housing centers in them.
Supervisor Forrester asked if Senseny Road was included in the proposed routes.
Director Lawrence responded that he believed the buses would be picking up in that area.
Supervisor Ewing asked how the parties could get out of this agreement, ifthe arrangement
did not work out.
Mr. Lofton responded that the grant could be stopped at anytime, but the buses would be
leased for one year.
Administrator Riley suggested inserting standard boilerplate language, which would permit
the agreement to be terminated with 90 days notice prior to the end of the fiscal year in the event
the project was not working out. He further advised that the Board also needs to set the rate for bus
fare.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Tyler, seconded by Vice Chairman Van Osten, the Board
approved the memorandum of agreement, as amended, and also appropriated $6,471.00 from
operational contingencies to cover the County share.

by growth.

this project did make sense from a planning perspective.

PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE
FREDERICK COUNTY CODE. CHAPTER 165. ZONING. ARTICLE IV.
SUPPLEMENTARY USE REGULATIONS: SECTION 165-48. CAR WASHES.
REGARDING ADDING HOURS OF OPERATION FOR CAR WASHES IN THE B2
(BUSINESS GENERAL) ZONING DISTRICT - APPROVED
At their meeting of May 27,2004, the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee
(DRRS) recommended adding hours of operation for car washes located in the B-2 (Business
General) Zoning District, under Section 165-48 ofthe Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. These
hours of operation would only apply to B-2 property that is adjacent to RA (Rural Areas) with
residential dwellings, RP (Residential Performance), R-4 (Residential Planned Community), R-5
(Residential Recreational Community), MS (Medical Support with Residential Component), or MH-
1 (Mobile Home Community) zoned land. The DRRS felt that adding hours of operation would be
consistent with current Zoning Ordinance requirements for car washes located in the B-1 (Business
Neighborhood) Zoning District and would negate any nuisance factors.
The Planning Commission held its public hearing on October 6,2004. The consensus ofthe
Planning Commission was that it would be appropriate to apply the amendment to any new car wash
or those existing car washes modifying their facility with technological upgrades. It was noted that
existing car washes would not be affected and the amendment would apply only to those facilities
adjacent to residential uses. It was pointed out that ifthis amendment was approved, it would make
car washes consistent with the existing code for car washes in the B 1 District, which currently
restricts hours of operation.
The Planning Commission recommended approval ofthe proposed amendment as presented.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
There were no public comments.
Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
