DISCUSSION OF REGIONAL SEWERAGE FACILITIES'WITHDRAWN
Mr. Renalds advised the Board that the Frederick - Winchester Service ":Authority
been recently advised by the State Water Control Board that two important
istics of the regional waste -water discharge, phosphorous and unoxidized
trogen, will not be limited, as they had been under the previous effluent limi-
, and that one effect of this relaxation of limits will be to reduce both
tal and operating costs of any new facility. He further advised that this
information will require another cost - effective analysis of treatment, in-
luding the use of existing'County aiid City facilities, and therefore he re-
ommended that this matter be removed from the agenda until such time as more
ific information is received from the consulting engineers. The Board con-
ed with this recommendation.
STEPHENSON WATER PROJECT ESTABLISHED'AS EDA PROJECT PRIORITY NO. 1
Mr. Koontz stated that Frederick County would receive $341,000 from EDA
that the Board must establish priorities for'this money. He stated that he
not feel the proposed new high school should remain the number one priority
as it is such a large project and the amount of money we will receive is
small in comparison. Mr. Koontz adivsed that the revised application must be
itted within 28 days and therefore a decision must be reached by the Board
ght in order to allow time to complete the appliction..
Mr. William D. Pike, Director of Parks and Recreation, appeared before the
d and requested that a swimming pool at the Stephens City park be selected as
first priority for the EDA funds. He cited several deficiencies in the Countye'_s
eational facilites and stated that a pool would serve all the people and not
a few
Mr. James Diehl, chairman of the Frederick County Sanitation Authority,
before the Board and requested that a water project for the Clearbrook-
tephenson area be selected stating that these citizens have a serious problem
th contamination of their wells.
Mr. Cole stated that the residents of this area have been asking for water
many years and have been'promised assistance many times.
Mr. Chuck Maddox, consulting engineer for the Sanitation Authority, described
project and stated that $341,000 would take the water to the Stephenson area.
Mrs. Carol Legge appeared before the Board representing a delegation of
sidents from the Lone Oak Subdivision and presented a petition containing 103
.
1
is
U
tures requesting water service to their area inasmuch as several wells have
71
gone dry and in many cases the water is not suitable'for human consumption and
is very difficult to locate.
Mr: Diehl stated that the Sanitation Authority has a-.-preliminary study
if this area, but he did not feel all the necessary plans and approvals could be
obtained in time to submit this project for EDA funding. He stated that the
Sanitation Authority would try to prove feasibility to go into this area. There
was a brief discussion regarding the possibility of securing an FHA loan for this
project.
Mr.-Ken Stiles stated that he did not feel the Board had enough information
•
to make a decision on this matter nor had they received enough public input. Mr.
Stiles stated that he would be opposed to building a swimming pool with these funds.
Mr. Sam Lehman, President of the Frederick County Taxpayers Association,
appeared before the Board and stated that the Taxpayers Association did not feel
the money should be spent to build a swimming pool.nor to subsidize a water project
which would serve only a few residents.
Dr. Fish stated that he would like to have a project which would serve
L
•
all the people and not just a limited number. He suggested that perhaps the Board
should consider other alternatives before making a decision.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that he felt the project should benefit everyone.
He asked if perhaps capital facilites improvement could be considered.
Mr. Koontz stated that there was not time to consider a new project
inasmuch as the application was quite detailed and must be submitted in a very
short time. He stated that both the Parks and Recreation project and the
Sanitation Authority project could meet the requirments and deadline for EDA
funding.
Mr. C. Robert Solenberger suggested that perhaps the County might want to
•. '
use these funds to join the City in the renovation project of the Handley Library
inasmuch as it serves County citizens as well as City citizens. Mr. Koontz advised
that the City had submitted this project on one of their EDA applications and now
is faced with the same problem as the County, that of establishing their priorities.
Mrs. Geraldine Bushong stated that the felt the first priority should be
water and sewer even though it would not serve as many people as a swimming pool.
Mr. Leslie Heishman stated that he felt the County should have some type
of contingency plans so that" - grant applications might be completed without the
woriyy of meeting deadines.
Mr. Cole stated that he felt Board had two choices, either the Parks
is
and Recreation project or the Sanitation Authority projects, but that he also felt
something must be done for the people in the lone Oak Subdivision. He further
stated that he felt the first priority should be the Stephenson water project
inasmuch as these people have a severe problem and have waited for more than
four year for relief.

Mr. Berg presented the application for conditional use permit of W. D.
Cornwell and Douglas Cornwell for the Battle of Cedar Creek Campground and des-
cribed the location and proposed use of the property.
Mr. Louis Costello appeared before the Board representing the petitioners
and stated that the application is for 45 spaces to be constructed in the imm-
ediate future. He stated that the petitioner may request additional spaces in
the future but this would have to be approved by the Board. He stated that they
were not applying under the MH -1 District for house trailers and that the only
= inr.the:areaawereethbse currently located at Belle Grove. He advised
that the application is made under A -1 zoning for travel trailers and that there
would be underground water and electricity with a hook up on each space:. Mr.
Costello stated that the only travel trailer campground permit granted by the
Board has been granted to the County itself. He described the need for this type
facility stating that the location of the property is the best to be found in
Frederick.County. He pointed out theteasy accessibility to the property from
several highways in the area. Mr'. Costello advised that approval has been received
from the Health Department and the campground must be operated under Health Depart-
ment rules and rbgulations. He stated that while the County would receive revenue
from this campground, there would be no cost to the County for water and sewer
services or education. The land, according to Mr. Costello is not suitable for
farming or development and the best use for the property would be a campground
facililty. He then presented a petition containing 100 signatures of residents
in favor of the proposed campground. Mr. Costello stated that only a small
portion of the property is visable from the road and that it cannot be seen from
Belle Grove Manor House.

The second point Mr. Costello presented dealt with the alleged damaged
to historic property should the campground be approved. Mr. Costello stated that
nothing historic significance happened on this property during the Battle of
Cedar Creek and therefore nothing'of historic value would be destroyed..
Mr. Woody Legge appeared before the Board in support of the proposed camp-
ground stating that there'is a drastic need in'this aiea for this type facility
and this it would create a source'of revenue for the County.
Mr. Joe Fisher appeared before the Board and stated that he owned the property
between Belle Grove and the proposed campground and was in favor of the facility.
He stated that he did not feel the campground would in any way harm Belle Grove
and that the property in this area is in dire need of attention.
Mr. Elwood Patterson, President of the Valley Camping and Trailer Club
stated that his organization supported the proposed campground 1008 as they felt
it was needed in this area and they did not feel it would hurt the historic value
of Belle Grove.
Mr. John Pickeral appeared and stated that he was concerned with sound planning
and zoning in the County and since the property was not suitable for farming or
development,' he felt the development of a campground would make it a valuable
piece of property which would return revenue to the County with a minimum require-
ment for services. He stated that he was concerned about Belle Grove telling
other property owners what they could do with their property. Mr. Pickeral stated
that he felt the County had been more than fair with Belle Grove when taxes are
set aside for them.
Mr. Larry Bari, Mr. Larry Miller, Mr.T•Lou a ?Arey, and Mr. Loring Carper
appeared before the Board in support of said application stating that they felt
this facility was needed in the County and would be the best use for the property
inasmuch as it was not suitable for farming or development.
Mr. Richard Rabun appeared before the Board and stated that he was appearing
as an officer of Belle Grove Corporation and not as an attorney. He statedtthat'•.:.
he was appearing as an officer of Belle Grove Corporation and not as an attorney.'
He stated that he felt the Board had an obligation, created by its own legis
lation, the zoning ordinance, as to what should be considered on an application
J
for a conditional use permit. He advised that campgrounds are not permitted in
the A -1 zone except through a conditional use permit and that he did not feel a
permit should be issued simply because all the technical requirements had been met.
He requested that the Board consider carefully the Planning Commission recom-
mendation:sin this matter and not approve the conditional use permit inasmuch as
he felt it would be less restrictive than the other uses permitted in A -1 zoning.
Mr. Rabun stated that the proposed area for the campground consisted of twenty -
five acres and this is too small. He stated that this is an unspoiled area and
the Board should consider that Cedar Creek one of the cleanest streams in the
State of Virginia. He stated that Belle Grove had already discovered camp fires
on their property and that he felt the Board should consider the historic Sig-
nificance of this area and the damage which could be caused by campers tres-
passing upon their property.
Mr. Cole stated that he had not found many campgrounds ..df: :�than'
five acres and he felt this amount of land was adequate for the intended use.
Mrs. Laura Pifer appeared before the Board representing the Fredeirck County
Environmental Council and presented the following letter in opposition to the
application for conditional use permit.
•
July 20, 1977
Dear Mr. Renalds and'Members of the Board of Supervisors,
I am writing on behalf of the Frederick County Environmental Council, Inc.,
in regards to the proposed campground near Cedar -Creek and Belle Grove.
- TheclCouncilt:s?offi,cerscandr-Board of').Directors voted on June 29th to support
the opposition to the proposed campground. The.Council feels that there are
many factors to be considered among which are:
1. Location: Belle Grove is an area of historical value to our
county by not only bringing in tourists but also in that it offers
an on- the -site history review for the residents of our area as well.
Such sites as thevonly unmarred battlefield to be found in this area
would only be over -run by campers who can not be adequately policed.
2. Although.Frederick County is growing - rapidly, and although it m
p the facilities of a campground, the Council felt that
such a possible need should be weighed very carefully before making a
decision. If Frederick County is going to accommodate everyone and
their needs, then there will be nothing loft of the farmland-from
which so many residents make their living; nor will there be anything
left of the rural image that Frederick County has to offer and which
so many of us have come to this county to enjoy.
3. If the decision is one of the need of such a campground, then the
residents present should be given top priority with the location
of the project in an area where it would not have an adverse effect
yet is accesible to the major highways.
4. The ground The matter of septic systems and bath houses with showers
should be given careful consideration. From all practical standpoints,
it does not seem feasible that the ground can withstadd dumping from
either overnight campers or those campers just passing through who
need to empty their facilities.
5. Cedar Creek: The matter of Cedar creek itself is of vital importance
sine a the waste materials would be directly emptying into this. This
county does not need another polluted stream of water.
For these reasons, the Council feels that this project in its proposed
location would be a detriment to this County. Therefore, we urge you not to
give your approval to this matter tonight. Thank You.
Sincerely
Laura F. Pifer
Council President
Mr. Sam Lehman, representing the Frederick County Taxpayers Association,
appeared before the Board and stated that there was no guarantee that adequate
sewage treatment could be provided for this facility and no guarantee that a
traffic hazard would not be created. He stated that this development would be
contrary to the recently approve Land Use Plan and this it could help to raise
taxes in the County.
Mr. Irvin O'Connell stated that he was concerned about the possible pollution
of Cedar Creek should this conditional use permit be approved. He stated that
he felt the creek couldehandle 45 spaces but would question whether or not could
handle a total of 123 spaces.
Mr. Mark Downey appeared representing his mother, a property owner in
the area, and presented the following letter in opposition to the application
for conditional use permit.
Gentlemen:
This letter is in reference to the recent proposal of a 45 -unit travel trailer
campground which would be located in the southernmost section of Frederick County
on Route 11. This campground is being proposed by developers Woodrow and Douglas
Cornwell.
My home stands directly across the creek from this campground on Route 11,
in Shenandoah County on the Cedar Creek Battlefield. I am also a taxpayer in
Frederick County.
It is at this time that I would like to voice my objection to a development
of this kind on the battlfield - area.
Written records show that there are five major battlefields in Frederick
County and that the Cedar Creek battlefield is the one left untouched. This
proposed campsite would be located entirely on,Cedar Creek battlefield.
In my objection to the proposed compground project I would like to make
the following personal observations:
•
is
•
1. Liability - -It would be virtually impossible to keep campers at this
79
r
n
LJ
I
u
over -night site from tresspassing on my land as the creek flows shallow -
between us. Inquisitive travelers would undoubtedly be wading and swimming
in the creek which in places hides a number of deep mud holes. Over the past
number of years we have had undue problem,with:nmetal detection enthusiasts,
and as this campsite is part of the battlefield as in my land, I forsee
the possibility of a higher rate of this occurrence. Therefore, regarding
liability with my insurance company I have learned I am-liable for accidents
which may occur on my land.
2. Pollution - -Also, to be considered is the possibility of this campsite not
being able to meet the requirements of adequate sewage disposal. In the
event of any sewage riunofif Creek would be the only escape route for
such waste. Due to the fact that I have cattle which rely on cedar Creek
for their main source of Watering I feel that this would not create a very
healthful or pleasant situation. In the early 1970 this stream was
approved by the State of Virginia as a scenic.waterway and has been labeled
as-the number one stream which still exists in its free flowing state.
In August 1959, following public hearings and studies of proposals for alternate
routes, the Virginia department'of Highways changed Interstate Highway 81 to its
present location in order that parts of this historical area would not be disturbed.
These parts included my home "Stickley House ", two early 1700 mill ruins, and the
marked grave of a Confederate soldier.
I bring these facts to your attention, gentlemen;., with the hope that I might
be able, in my plea for the tranquillity and dignity of my ancestral home, to
prevent the noise and distrubance and any other campsite- related problems from
upsetting any part of the aesthetics of the Shenandoah Valley, in particular, the
Cedar Creek battlefield. ,
I urge that you oppose this campground and ask that you make this letter as'
part of the official hearing of the board of supervisors meeting scheduled for
July 20, 1977.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Roy M. Downey
adjoining landowner
Mr. George Smith appeared on behalf of the National Trust for Historic
c,
t
Preservation and stated that the National Trust for Historic Preservation and stated
that the National Trust would be unalterably opposed to the development of this
property inasmuch as historic events had taken on the property and he stated that
the boundary line for the historic landmark for the.Battle of Cedar Creek and
Belle Grove had been established by the Department of the Interior. He asked if
this proposal met the best interest and needs of the people of the County. He
asked if it would create jobs, increase the payroll, or add to the economy
of the County. He asked what amount of revenue this development would produce
.County....and' what :benefit'-.it'.would be for the young or elderly people of the
community.
Mr. Smith stated that lands of the National Trust for Historic Preservation
statute are exempt from the payment or real estate taxes. He advised that he
•
did not feel anyone should be exempt from taxes and that Belle Grove had voluntarily
paid taxes until recent years..
Mr. Costello appeared in rebuttal and stated that he felt the image presented
of campers by the opposition was improper argument and could not be demonstrated.
He again reiterated that his research had shown that nothing historic had occured
on this particular piece of property. Mr. Costello stated that twenty -five acres
is adequate for a campground and he presented a soil study which had been prepared
by Mr. John Kane showing that the property could adequately handle the sewage for
such a facility. He stated that there was not a better place in the County for
this facility and that the applicants had met all the requirements for a con-
ditional use permit.
Mr. Rabun stated that the conditional use permit Mr. Cornwell is seeking comes
under the Zoning Ordinance wherein there are conditions which must be met. He
stated that Mr. Cornwell knew when he purchased the property it was not approved
I
for a campground and he have to get Board approval to develop the property.

Mr. Malcolm advised that the campground permit previously issued by this
Board had not been for the County per se, -but for the4?rederick County Fair
Association. He then asked Mr. Berg if the proposed plan violated the Land-Use
Plan and if Health and Highway Department approvals had been received:: Mr. Berg
advised that the proposal did not violate the Land Use'Plan and that both Health
and Highway Department.-.approvals had been received.
Mr. Malcolm then asked how the property was zoned and whether or not a
campground was permitted in this zone with a conditional use permit. Mr. Berg
advised that the property was zoned A -1 and that campgrounds are permitted in
this zone with a conditional use permit.
Mr. Malcolm then asked if Mr. Berg felt the Planning Commission needed more
time to study this proposal and Mr. Berg stated that he did not.
Mr. Malcolm asked if the Gettysburg Park campground was located on or adjacent
to the battle ground property and a gentlemen in the audience stated that it was
].located on the battlefield property.
Mr. Malcolm asked what the liability is if someone is hurt while trespassing
on someone else's property and Mr. Ambrogi advised that there would be no liability
unless the person hurt is an invitee or guest or unless the property owner was
responsible or contributed to the injury.
Dr. Fish stated that he felt the question was whether or not we are destroying
something which should be preserved for posterity.
Mr. Eleanor White stated that Belle Grove had not had time to work on plans
for the property donated by Mr. Glaize and that they hoped toaapply for COR funds
to develop the property.
Mr. Malcolm asked Mrs. White if there was a plan by Belle Grove for a rec-
reational facility and Mrs. White stated that it would be a controlled development
as a state park.
W. Cole then moved to approve the application for conditional use permit
for 45 spaces with the stipulation that if any complaints are received concerning
the health or welfare of the County the permit will be reviewed by the Board.
This motion was seconded by Will L. Owings.
Mr. Malcolm stated that he felt it should be understood that if this permit.
is approved, it does not mean that the next application will automatically be
approved and stated that this would be a vote on this matter and not a blanket
approval.
Dr. Fish stated that he felt the motion should include a condition to pro-
hibit transient dumping at the dump station on the property; that the dump station
will be used only by campers in the park. Mr. Cole agreed to amend his motion
to include this recommendation.
Upon motion made by Dennis T. Cole and seconded by Will L. Owings,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of.Supervisors of the County of Frederick,
Virginia does herein approve Conditional Use Permit No. 005 -77, for the Battle
of Cedar Creek Campground (W.D. Cronwell and Douglas Cornwell), located on Route
11 South:lat Cedar Creek in the Opequon Magisterial District with the following
stipulations:
1. The Conditional Use Permit is approve for .'forty -five (45) spaces only
2. Any complaints received concerning the health or welfare of the County
shall cause said permit to be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors.
3. The dumping station will be used by campers in the campground and will
not be used by transient campers.

Mr. Wilkins advised that if this was done, he would not be able to proceed with the
