'Mr. Renalds read the agreement in full.

is
the agreement with several Board members expressing dis- agreement with said pro-
vision. Mr. Rosenberger questioned the legality of the contract. Dr. Fish stated
that he was skeptical of feasibility studies and especially one where on consultant
would be representing two parties who may be at odds. Mr. Malcolm stated that he

decision. There followed a discussion as to whether or not the County wanted to
enter into a joint facility with the City and if not, what other alternatives

Mr. Cole stated that he strongly objected to the memorandum from Mr. W..'H.
r
Jones of the Sanitation Authority stating that at the present time a water line
is not planned to be built along the Old Charles Town Road because of the coordin-
ems :with'•.theahighway contractor and the lack of funds in the EDA project.
He stated that inasmuch as the road is currently being built, now is the-time to
put the water lines in so that the road will not have to be torn up at a later date.
Mr. Koontz advised that the bids have not been opened on this project yet::
•
and should the Authority have sufficient funds, the line will be continued on this
road.
Dr. Fish stated that he felt it was unforgiveable to go.back and cut up
E
this road to lay the water lines when they might possibly be laid before the road
is completed.
Mr. Renalds stated that should the Board desire to appropriate the money,
he felt sure the Sanitation Authority would go ahead and put this line in. However,
inasmuch as the bids had not been opened the Authority did not know how far the
line could be laid and there was a possibility it could continue on down the old:
Charles Town Road.
Following a brief discussion, the Chairman requested that this matter be
tabled in order that a member of the Sanitation Authority might meet with the Board
to discuss this matter. The Board agreed.

data to the Board at the Regular Meeting in November but would wait until that
time in order that the County /City committee might study the contract further.
Mr. Koontz stated that there had been informal meetings on this matter and
he felt a mood of cooperation existed between the City and County on this problem.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that he did not feel the Board should delay action on
this matter much longer and further that the Capital Facilities Committee could
do no further work until they are given some guidelines.
Mr. Cole asked if the City should not pay one -half of the cost of the jail
renovation which is now underway inasmuch as they own half of the building and

Mr. James Diehl, Chairman of the Frederick County Sanitation Authority appeared
-the and stated that in regard to the memorandum from Mr. Jones pre-
E
vously discussed, the reasons the Authority was not planning to put the water line
down the old Charles Town road were that the purpose of the project was to go to
Clearbrook when the County applied for EDA funds and the decision was to go north
on Route 11 as far as possible. Therefore, Mr. Diehl advised, the proposal is to in
Ll:the water line on Route 664 and swing back south to go as far as possible on Route
761. He advised that reconstruction of Route 761 and the possibility of coordina -.
ting the installation of the water line on 761 with the reconstruction was discussed

Mr. Diehl stated that the Authority currently plans to run water east on Route
•
64 to the intersection of Routes 664 and 761 and that if the bids come in low, then
Authority would put in water lines down Route 761 as far as funds would allow.

to 761 because coordination problems with the road contractor would possibly
nflate costs of the water project.

DOG LICENSE FEES SET AT $4.00 FOR UNNEUTERED DOGS AND $1.00 FOR NEUTERED
DOGS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1979
Mr. Harold Whitacre appeared before the Board and stated that he felt there '
should be some type of incentive to have dogs neutered but he did not know whether
the proposed change in the-license fee would accomplish this.
Mrs. Keckley stated that she favored a straight fee of $5.00 inasmuch as a
Lfferent fee for neutered and unneutered animals would create - a large amount of
)rk.
N
Following a brief discussion, Dr. Fish stated that he could not see that this
method would create a large problem but may help alleviate the problem of putting
so many dogs to sleep.
Mrs. Keckley advised that should this procedure be adopted, the veterinarians
would have to be very careful to mark the rabies certificate with the necessary
information.
Dr. Fish stated that everyone must cooperate to make this work and he
that the fee be set at $5.00 for unneutered dogs and $3.00 for neutered dogs.
Mr Cole stated that he felt setting the fee at $4.00 for unneutered dogs
•
l and $1.00 for neutered dogs would provide more incentive for individuals to have
their dogs neutered.
Mr. Malcolm suggested trying this method for one year to see how it works
and Dr. Fish stated that one year would not be enough time to see if it will be
effective; that it would take approximately 5 years to determine its effectiveness.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
AN
THE
Mr. Berg presented the amendments to the Junk Car Ordinance and briefly
LJ
described the changes thereto. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended
approval of these amendments.
Mr. Cole stated that he could not vote for the ordinance as amended with the
terms "sanitary landfills and garbage dumps" contained therein. He stated that
he felt the large companies in the area have enough problems without any more
restrictions and that one business had already been closed down because of these
restrictions.
Mr. Renalds advised that this same language is contained in the existing
ordinance.
Dr. Fish stated that he felt this language changes the complexion of the
a
ordinance insofar as the title is set forth.
Dr. Fish then moved to delete the words "sanitary landfill and garbage dumps"
•
from the ordinance. Mr. Cole seconded the motion.
Mr..Malcolm asked if someone from the Planning Commission could explain why
this language was put into the ordinance and Mr. Lang Gordon, Chairman of the
Planning Commission, stated that perhaps the Commission had not looked at this
particular language as closely as they should have.
Mr. Huffman appeared before the Board in opposition to the ordinance and
stated that he has been in business for thirty years and stores disabled vehicles
until the insurance company or the owner can take them. He stated that he had
received a letter telling him to close his business within 15 days. : ^Mr. Huffman
stated that he did not like someone telling him what', could do with his own
property which he had bought and paid taxes on. He further stated that he had no
intention of buying county stickers for the disabled vehicles on his property.

158
Mr. Huffman stated that there is a difference of opinion of what junk is
what.one person considers junk, another may not.
Another gentleman in the audience stated that he too stores abandoned and
isabled vehicles on his property at his own expense and-that he rebuilds cars
th the parts from these automobiles.
Mr. Huffman stated that the state law regarding disposition of these cars
quite restrictive and can cause a great deal of.expense. He suggested that
County issue some type of permit for the disposition of said vehicles within
ty days.
Mr. Berg stated that the ordinance is in accordance with state law. Mr.
ogi advised that this is correct and that the procedure is quite cumbersome
most of the owners of these automobiles do not want to reclaim them.
Upon motion made by Dr. Raymond L. Fish and seconded by Thomas B. Rosenberger,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick,
irginia, does herein table the Ordinance to Amend an Ordinance Adopted December

date he has received no opposition to them.
Mr. Rosenberger asked what the specific changes were and Mr. Brown replied
that the $7.50 fees would-be raised to $10.00 and that billboards, carnivals and
circuses, and temporary occupancy for commercial construction had been added.
Mr. Cole stated that he objected to the inspection fee for underground and
above ground storage tanks as set forth on the schedule; that he felt the County
was becoming overprotective of the people.
Dr. Fish suggested that temporary bleachers be included in tlie and
carnival inspections and Mr. Brown stated that he felt this could be done.
Mr. Cole stated that he felt the inspection of wood stoves was too restrictive
and he strongly objected to this section.
Mr. Brown advised that he has prepared and made available to the public a flyer
regarding wood stoves inasmuch-as there has been such a great increase in them
over the past year or two and that the department's main concern in this area is
one of safety.
There followed a brief discussion regarding the average inspection fees charged
in the County, the inspection services provided the citizenry at no cost, and the
recommended changes in the fee schedule.
Mr. Brown advised that the categories set forth in the schedule are basically
ssame.with'ithe•-:exception of the additional items set forth above. He further
advised that he is preparing a.phamplet which will set forth basic information
regarding inspections in the County, such as when the permit is necessary and the
various fees charged, in order that the average citizen might become more informed
regarding this service in the County

Vice Chairman Thomas Rosenberger called the meeting to order inasmuch as Mr.
tz arrived late.
The members of the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission discussed
t length the proposed amendment to the Division of Land Ordinance. The areas
iscussed were: the situation where there is a 25 foot right -of -way and additional
ght -of -way is not available, and whether or not variances would be granted from
proposed requirements in such cases; the 108 slope requirement; the width to
ratio; the CBR requirements; another zoning where the provisions for
fifty foot right -of -way would not apply so that citizens who desire to remain
an area where there is little traffic might be able to do so; the lack of
in recreational subdivisions.
Mr. Owings stated that he felt the Board must consider the welfare of the over -
County and not try to adopt ordinance to cover every individual case.
Mr. Cole stated that he felt the provisions for a fifty foot right -of -way
minor streets was ridiculous and that the Highway Department does not require
much.
Mr. Malcolm stated that he was concerned with the definition of subdivision
as any division of land would be termed a subdivision and therefore some-
who might want to sell one parcel of land, without any intention of subdividing
property, would be considered a subdivider and would fall under the requirements
for same; however, on the otherhand, if requirements are not set forth, sub-
visions could be developed one parcel at a time with no provisions having been
. He added that he felt if we are going to control growth in the County, we
st be as restrictive as our neighbors.
Mr. Gordon advised that the road requirements set forth are to assure that
the roads might be brought up to state standards and be taken into the highway
system should this be the desire of the property owners in the future.
Mr. Malcolm stated that when the roads;!will..not_ be_ brought,:.up :to.:state
standards, the purchaser should be made aware of this'when he purchases the property.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

Mr. N. W. Garrison and his attorney, Mr. John Prosser appeared before the
Board in support of this rezoning request. Mr. Prosser stated that the request
to have this property rezoned to R -6 would make it more compatible with the area
and that the structures were there before we had a zoning ordinance.
Mr. Garrison then presented pictures.-of the property and stated that water
and sewer is available and there is proper drainage on the property.
There was discussion as to the number of units planned for the property and
the time -table for development of the property and Mr. Garrison advised that the
property would not be developed for at least the next five years.
Mr. Koontz stated that the Board and the Planning Commission had worked many
i
1]
hours trying to look at future development and its effect on the County. He
stated that we must be aware that the more people we have the more services are
required and therefore the higher the taxes must be.
Mr. Malcolm stated that the Land Use Plan calls for medium density re-
sidential use for this area. He asked Mr. Berg if the proposed use would meet
this criteria and Mr. Berg stated that it would not. Mr. Malcolm then suggested
that perhaps an impact study should be made on the proposed development.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that this rezoning request had been tabled by the
•
Planning Commission and passed to the Board of Supervisors with no recommendation
inasmuch as ten acres of the property is already developed leaving the remainder
of approximately 17 acres.
Mr. Gordon stated that the Commission did not appear to be opposed to re-
zoning a portion of the property when ten acres is already covered with buildings,
some of which are single family units. However, they did not appear to be in
favor of rezoning the entire tract.
Mr. DeHaven stated that he could see no reason why this property should
not be rezoned inasmuch as the services are available and in Sunnyside there are
tracts larger than this which are zoned R -6.
Several of the Board members stated that the Board must be concerned with
11
the growth of the County and cannot continue to permit rezonings of large tracts
of land where the potential development is unknown. Concern was also expresssed
regarding the number of parcels of land which have been rezoned and have not as
yet been developed.
Upon motion made by Thomas B. Rosenberger and seconded by R. Thomas Malcolm,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick,
Virginia, does herein deny the #014 -77 of Orpha G. Martin, N. W. Garrison
and Shasta B. Garrison, 20 and 21 Colonial Heights, Winchester, Virginia, to
rezone 28.054 acres, adjacent to Route 7, on the south side and Route 659, from
Residential- Limited District R -2 to Multi- Family Residential District R -6, said
property designated as Parcel No. 54(A)110, 54(A)111, and 54(A)112 in Stonewall
Magisterial District.

t of the Bank of Frederick County, in support of this rezoning request

BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick,
Virginia, does herein approve the following rezoning request on third and final

R. Thomas Malcolm, and Dennis T. Cole.
TREASURER'S REPORT LATE FILING PENALTY
Mrs. Dorothy Keckley, Treasurer, reported that she is receiving nunerous
complaints regarding the late filing penalty and that she felt this was because
many people did not understand the penalty and did not realize that the forms
for filing were contained in their state income tax package. She further
stated that new residents and many elderly citizens do not receive a state
income tax package.
Mr. Owings presented a tax bill showing a penalty and asked Mrs. Keckley
for an explanation as to why the penalty had been added to the bill on December
2nd. She replied that the bill had been brought down to the postage meter on
December 2nd at a quarter till four but was not postmarked until December 5th and
that the penalty had been imposed on December 2nd just incase the bill was not
received until December 5th.
Mr. Owings stated that in cases such as this he did not feel that penalty
should be assessed and Mrs. Keckley agreed.
W. Cole stated that he felt the Constitutional Officers should have a postage
meter of their own in order to alleviate problems of this nature.
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 refer the request of the Constitutional Officers.-for a
postage machine to the Finance Committee for study and recommendation and does
direct that the Constitutional.•_ Officers be invited to the next meeting of the
Finance Committee to discuss this matter as well as the problem with the late
filing penalty.
The above resolution was passed by the following recorded vote: Aye -
S. Roger Koontz, Thomas B. Rosenberger, Dr. Raymond L. Fish, Will L. Owings,
R. Thomas Malcolm, and Dennis T. Cole.

Mr. Berg read the proposed amendment to the Division of Land'Ordinance in
full.
Mr. Koontz stated that both the Planning Commission and the Board of
Supervisors were concerned with the problems of large lot subdivisions and had
therefore enacted. emergency legislation regarding this matter until such time as
citizen input could be weighed and thorough discussions could-be held in order to
determine what changes should be made in the ordinance.
Mr. Renalds reviewed briefly the changes which had'been made to the original
•
•
amendment to the ordinance.
Mr. Fred Larrick appeared before the Board in opposition to the proposed
amendment and stated that the Board must consider the economical feasibility of
the requirements set forth in the amendment and that the larger the lot the greater
the expense would be. He advised that within the next 35 years our population will
double; that these people must have a place to live and with these provisions
the people will not be able.. to afford to buy a home. Mr. Larrick stated that he
felt those people who had purchased property many years ago and who had no control
over the entrance into their property should be protected because in many cases,
additional rights -o£ -way were not available. He suggested that perhaps this could
be achieved through a grandfather's clause.
Mr. Koontz stated that the intention of the amendment was to protect and not
to punish. He advised that two lots are exempt but should a developer develop
more than two lots, he must have a fifty foot right -of -way. Mr. Koontz stated
that the requirements are set forth so that in the future, should the property
owners so desire, the roadways might be brought up to state standards.
Mr. R. M. Larrick appeared before the Board and stated that he was a property
i1
•
owner in Back Creek District and had begun developing his property in 1932. He
advised that the roadway leading into his property is a private roadway and is
so designated; that there is an average of 8 to 10 people per weekend on this
road and that to bring it up to state standards would be prohibitive. He further
advised that the landowners pay a certain amount each year for maintenance of the
road.
OONIIII
Mr. Koontz advised that the Board does recognize the problems of recreational
subdivisions and that Dr. Fish had suggested that perhaps another R category
should be developed. He stated that this type problem would be addressed by
the Board.
Mr. Clinton R. Ritter appeared before the board and stated that he was con-
cerned about the legal implications of the proposed amendment inasmuch as many
people had purchased land but had not recorded their sales contract or had entered
into the sale on a contract of good faith and that this would necessarily cause
a cloud on the title. He stated that he felt the Board was combining two or three
different types of developments and this was unfair; that many people wanted
private secluded property without public roadways. He suggested that if the Board
was in fact going to consider another R category for mountain development, this
should be done as soon as possible and that full time residential subdivisions
in agricultural zones should be eliminated. He stated that the Board should keep
in mind that these mountain developments are not permanent residences, but are
temporary recreational homes.
173
174'.
Mr. Koontz stated that the Board is aware of these problems but the Board
must also still deal with five acre tracts which may potentially become year-
round residences.
Mr. John Chiles, Resident Engineer for the Virginia Department of Highways,
appeared before the Board and explained the Highway Department requirements for
acceptance of roads into the State Secondary System. He stated that many times
purchasers initially do not want a state maintained road, but then ten years
later they decide that they do want such a road and there is not enough available
right -of -way. Mr. Chiles stressed that the provisions for drainage easements
are very important.
Mr. Sherwood Hedrick appeared before the Board and stated that should the
proposed amendment be approved a developer would not be able to afford to develop
five acre tracts and therefore the County would be divided into smaller lots
thereby generating more people. He stated that should the Board require only
that additional right -of -way be available, this could perhaps be accepted.
Mr. John Pickeral appealed before the Board and stated that if the County
was going to have good planning and development to protect the taxpayers, he
felt restrictions were necessary and that recreation subdivisions should have the
same requirements as residential subdivisions.
Mr. Clinton L. Ritter appeared before the Board and stated that he had dev-
eloped and sold over 3,000 acres of property in Frederick County. He stated
that many people do not want the accessibility of public roads. He further
stated that he would not be opposed to right -of -way requirements to provide
better ingress and egress. Mr.. Ritter stated that many acres of land in the
County.bring in tax dollars but do not cost the taxpayer anything. He stated ,that
he felt land sold for retirement purposes should be treated as such.
Mr. Woodrow Carlisle, an excavator, appeared before the Board and stated
that he felt the proposed road requirements would put the small developer out of
business.
Mr. Koontz advised that the amendment would not require that roads be con-
structed to state standards, but that a fifty foot right -of -way be available so
that this might be done in the future should the lot owners so desire.
Mr. Mason Larwood stated that there was no guarantee that people who purchase
lots in recreational subdivisions will not become permanent residents. Mr.
Larwood suggested that any properties not developed or built upon within one
year after rezoning be reverted back to the original zoning so that some of the
deadwood on the zoning maps might be cleared out.
Mr. George Cornwell appeared before the Board and stated that if this amen-
dment is passed, it will impose a hardship on the farmers inasmuch as they, from
time to time, need to sell a lot or two off their farms to supplement their in-
comes and with the provisions in the proposed amendment, it would not be feasbible
to do so.
Mr. Koontz advised that the revised ordinance requires merely rights -of -way.
W. Eds Coleman, Attorney representing Fort Collier Industrial Estates,
appeared before the Board and presented the following letter and requested that this
..,;be made a part of the record. The Board agreed.

must allow for the type of flexibility necessarily required in industrial dev-
elopment.
(2) The economics of industrial development are not embodied in the simple
transfer of property between seller and buyer. The industrial developer must
ensure that the basic services are available within a cost and time frame to meet
the needs of the client. Road, water and sewer extensions must be evaluated to
enhance the best alternatives for future expansion. Also expansion of services
cannot be laid out as in a residential development. The individual developer

(3) Timing and response are important elements to an industrial developer in
attracting and-retaining potential clients. Prior to the current emergency
legislation, negotiations between an industrial developer and the industrial
buyer were facilitated through private contract following site plan approval of
•
the industry's basic building plan. The site plan approval process has been and
remains an important control power of the County without imposing serious delay
on either party. The primary services of water, sewer and roadway are contained
in the contract agreement between developer and industry and must meet with the
industry's approval. The procedure within the Subdivision Ordinance now

(4) Fort Collier and other industrial park developers are not advocates of ill
conceived or poorly controlled buildingexpansion, but planned growth is certainly
the desired objective of all concerned. The industrial developer recognizes this
objective through the imposition of covenants and restrictions upon his own
development. FortiCollier's basic restrictions and planning standards are an
example. Fort Collier has turned away industry which did not meet the environ-
•
mental and building restrictions established. Before a residential- oriented
ordinance is applied to an entirely different classification of developer, one
must first study the effect on the industrial developer. (i.e., for reference
compare the Class III road specifications contained in the emergency legislation
with_:thbse requirements self- imposed by Fort Collier to meet Virginia Highway
Department requirements and,which serve as a basic for all roads in Fort Collier
Industrial Park).
(5) The enactment of the large lot subdivision approval requirement could prove
costly and time consuming to the business community involved in development, and
could discourage the gradual, planned growth of light industry to Frederick County.
It could also have an adverse -impact upon new clients for "in place" water and
sewer services and upon those who serve as a source-of tax revenue.
'
Frederick County has come a long way in providing opportunities for growth with its
expanded services and facilities. Fort Collier believes the governing bodies to be
dedicated to preserving the quality of life enjoyed in this area. Industry pre-
sently is strongly attracted to Frederick County and such attractiveness should not
be discouraged. Fort�Collier is not asking to be given special treatment, but merely
requesting that, if new legislation is to be enacted; the drafters consider the
unique problems faced by industrial developers and requesting that any such legis-
lation be drafted with due consideration of the business environment of Frederick
County.

Mr. Sam Lehman appeared before the Board and stated that the provisions set
forth in the proposed amendment to the ordinance would put anyone who subdivides
lots; into the money game and that many people could not afford-this.
Mr.-Clinton Ritter suggested that due to the large amount of opposition, the
table this matter for further study and discussion with the developers.

SITE PLAN #030 -77 - DAWSON INVESTMENTS - STONEWALL MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT - APPROVED
I
Mr. Berg presented the site plan of Dawson investments stating that this is
the first of three warehouses to be built on a five acre tract in the Stine
Industrial Park. Mr. Berg stated that the proposed access to the site would be
from Smithfield Avenue.
Mr. Eds.Coleman appeared before the Board representing Mr. I. Fred Stine
and Mr. Bruce Dawson and presented a modified site plan requesting a temporary
service road via Smithfield Avenue. Mr. Coleman stated that a.second road would
be constructed when the second lot is built upon and the access from Smithfield
Avenue would then be discontinued.
Mr. Malcolm asked-if this revised plan had been presented to the Planning
Commission or to the City for consideration and Mr.' Coleman stated that it had
not because of the crucial time frame for the project, but that it had been
discussed with the staff of both the City and County.
Mr. Dawson stated that he had the proposed building leased to Harris Intertype
Company and he must let them know this month whether or not he can build the
building. He decribed briefly the proposed operation stating that there would be
approximately 20 employees and a few deliveries each week.
The Board discussed at length the possibility of routing the traffic off Brook
Road rather than Smithfield Avenue-and the City's reaction should the Board approve
this site plan.
Mr. Dawson stated that timing was a factor and he did not have time to build
the road and still maintain the proposed contract with Harris Intertype.
Mr. Owings stated that he felt this alternate plan should be submitted to
the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation.
Mr. Malcolm then moved to refer the alternate site plan of Dawson Investments
back to the Planning Commission with the request that the County Planning Commission
meet with the City Planning Commission as quickly as possible in order to study
this plan and bring about a reasonable solution�to this problem so that this
Board might act upon this matter at the end of this month. This motion was
seconded by Will L. Owings.
Dr. Fish asked if there was another solution to the problem if the developer
is denied access from Smithfield avenue and is subsequently denied the now proposed
alternative to use said street temporarily.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that this matter has been before the Planning Commission
three times and he felt the man had been held up long enough; that the property
lies in Frederick County and he did not feel it was inappropriate for the Board
of Supervisors to take a stand on the matter. Mr. Rosenberger stated further
that this type of industry is needed in the County and he did not think the Board
would want to lose it by delaying action on this matter.
Mr. Malcolm stated that even if the Board should take a position and approve
the'site plan:and the City would subsequently deny it, nothing would be accomplished.)
He again suggested that the two jurisdictions work together to find a solution to
the problem.
•
•
•
Mr. Stiles stated that he felt Mr. dawson had made a good faith offer to comply
189'
with everything the Board and Planning Commission had requested and had sub-
sequently presented what appeared to be a workable solution.
Mr. Koontz stated that he felt a time limit should be-placed on the temporary
- i
•
use of Smithfield Avenue and Mr. Dawson advised that the use of the street would
not exceed 18 months.
Mr. Rosenberger then moved to amend Mr. Malcolm's motion to approve the site
plan of Dawson Investments to serve the one presently proposed building ex-
clusively, with the stipulation that when the building is constructed, the site
plan will come before the Board and Planning Commission for approval and the
temporary use of Smithfield Avenue will be discontinued upon construction of a
second building or within a period of eighteen (18) months whichever occurs first.
This motion to amend was seconded by Kenneth Y. Stiles.
Mr. Malcolm asked if there was sufficient right -of -way for construction of
a road and if the ownership of said right -of -way had been determined.
Mr. Dawson stated that Mr. Stine advised that everything was in legal order
•
for use of the right -of -way. He further advised that Mr. Stine has a legal right-
of -way in front of the Board of Education property and that his property adjoins
this property.
Mr. Koontz asked if a legal contract could possibly be drawn up stating that
the use of Smithfield Avenue would be discontinued after eighteen months and Mr.
Ambrogi advised that conditions could be placed on a conditional use permit but
not on a site plan approval.
Dr. Fish stated that he had studied this matter and had followed it through
the Planning Commission and that he felt the developer had made an honest attempt
to resolve the problem and that his proposal did seem to meet the City's objections.
He stated that he felt someone needed to take a stand on this matter.
Mr. Ambrogi stated that this matter may not need approval of the City insofar
,
•
as the property lies wholly in the County and is not subject to control by the
City.
Mr. Malcolm asked how long this matter had been in the mill and Mr. Berg
stated that it first came before the Planning Commission :in December.
aware of a problem when he learned of a letter from the City dated October 28, 1977.
Mr. Dawson advised that he had started procedures last summer and was first
The problem of other means of egress and ingress into the industrial park was
discussed as length and Mr. Coleman advised that Mr. Stine has been to court
regarding this problem and is negotiating with various landowners.
Mr. Berg advised that before the property can be subdivided the road must be
E
platted inasmuch as the 45 foot right -of -way does not meet the requirements of
the County Code.
Thereupon Mr. Rosenberger withdrew his amendment to Mr. Malcolm's motion
and Mr. Stiles withdrew his second to Mr. Rosenberger's motion.
Mr. Malcolm then withdrew his motion and Mr. Owings withdrew his second to
Mr. Malcolm's motion.
Upon motion made by Thomas B. Rosenberger and seconded by Kenneth Y. Stiles.,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick
Virginia, does herein approve Site Plan No. 030 -77 of Dawson Investments to
construct a parking and loading area composed of six (6) inch base prime and
double seal, a 15,000 square foot warehouse, and a 3,000 square foot attached
office area on their property located in the Stine Industrial Park in Stonewall
Magisterial District with temporary access from Smithfield Avenue to serve the
IM
one currently proposed warehouse exclusively, with the stipulations that when the
second building is constructed, the site plan will come before the Board and Planning
Commission for approval and the temporary use of Smithfield Avenue.will be dis-
continued upon construction of a second building or within a period of eighteen
(18) months, whichever occurs first.
The above resolution was passed by the following recorded vote: Aye -
S. Roger Koontz, Thomas B. Rosenberger, Dr. Raymond L. Fish, Will L. Owings,
R. Thomas Malcolm, and Kenneth Y. Stiles.
PROCEDURES TO BE.FOLLOWED BEFORE MATTERS ARE PRESENTED TO BOARD TO BE CONSIDERED
Mr. Malcolm stated that on several occasions matters have come to the Board
with recommendations from the Planning Commission or staff and then at the last
minute new information is presented changing the entire status of the matter.
He suggested that some policy be established where all options are explored, i.e.,
by legal counsel, staff, etc., before the matter is brought.before..the "boaid for
consideration.
The Board agreed to consider this suggestion.

Discussion of New High School and School Building Needs
Dr. Wright presented several pieces of written material to the Board members
and requested that they look at the first page regarding reduction of square
footage in the new high school. He advised that approximately 15,000 square feet
had been taken out of the original plans; that this revised plan had been co-
ordinated with the State Department of Education and resubmitted to them for appr
and that no additional footage could be removed-and still maintain a good high
school. Dr. Wright stated that three classrooms and various other areas have been
eliminated or reduced and that the projected enrollment for the school is now
1,300 pupils. He stated that they expected approximately 1,140 pupils the first
year and therefore the proposed plan would provide some room for growth.
Dr. Wright explained many of the programs offered to County students and the
amount of space required for said programs. He advised that many of the facilities
will be used by the community as well as the students and many times would be in
use from approximately 7:30 A.M. until 10:00 P.M.
Dr. Don Warner explained the areas which had been reduced and the reasons
therefor.
Mr. Stiles asked how many students in the 11th and 12th grades were
participating in physical education classes and Dr. Wright stated that he was not
sure but there were very few inasmuch as space was not sufficient to require it.
He added that it was highly inconsistent not to offer physical education after
the 10th grade when it is stressed to the students how important it is.
Mr. Stiles asked what the auxiliary gym would be used for and Dr. Wright
f �
i
replied that it would be used for a multiplicity of things such as a practice
area for varsity and junior varsity sports for both boys and girls; physical
education classes; gymnastics and after school activities.
Dr. Wright stated that the School Board felt that they were at a point
where they could state approximately the amount of money which would be required
to build and equip the new school. He added that the figures presented on the
EDA application were the best they could estimate at that time but that they had
made it very clear from the beginning that these figures were not firm. He advised
that the minimum cost to build the school would be $36 per square foot; that the
reduced plan would provide a total gross area of 188,854 square feet; and that
total cost would be approximately $8,200,000.
Dr. Wright explained the proposed financing of the project as follows:
VPSA bonds sold in 1977 - $1,000,000; VPSA bond sale April, 1978 - $2,000,000;
.VPSA bond sale September, 1978 - $1,000,000; Literary Fund of Virginia Loan,
Spring, 1979 - $1,000,000; VPSA bond sale, April, 1979 - $2,000,000; Local
Funds /Revenue Sharing 1978 -1979 $1,000,000; Balance of current projects plus
building fund balance 1978 -1979 - $200,000. He advised that building costs had
increased 108 since work on this project had begun.
Dr. Wright stated that 126 square feet per pupil is the minimum amount the
state will accept.
Mr. Stiles asked if 126 square feet per pupil had been used to prepare the
$7.5 million dollar estimate and Dr. Wright stated that when this estimate was
prepared there were no sketches or designs and that the EDA application had to be
2.06
prepared within a week. He advised that they had made it very clear that in order
to get the application prepared in the hopes of getting EDA money this would not
necessarily be the plan or design of the building.
Mr. Owings stated that now there is no;� assurance that $8.2 million dollars
will be sufficient and Dr. Wright stated that a very credible builder has stated
that he feels we can build the type of building we want and equip it for an amount
not to exceed $8.2 million dollars.
Mr. Stiles asked what Dr. Wright-meant when he spoke of equipment and Dr.
Wright replied such things as chemistry equipment, cabinets, etc. He further
advised that a large amount of vocational equipment would be provided by the state.
Mr. Stiles then asked if this equipment included athletic equipment and Dr. Wright
stated that it would include the large facilities such as a practice field, a
stadium type football field, tennis courts, and practice baseball field.
Mr. Stiles asked what the seating would be and Dr. Wright advised
that the plans are not far enough along at this point to state what the seating
capacity will be.
Mr. then asked why the football games could not be played on the field
at James Wood and Dr. Wright replied that they could but that if we.� are going
to build a new school why spend money at a later date to develop the football
field at the new site.at a greater cost. He stated that we are building a new,
modern high school which will operate for the next 40 to.50 years and that these
facilities should be included when the school is built. He added that building
these facilities at a later date would cost more money.
Mr. Stiles asked what the field at James Wood would be used for should the
new facilities be built and Dr.-Wright stated that it would be used by the 9th
and 10th grades, the junior high schools, the recreation department, and various
other organizations.
Mi. Stiles.:stated that he felt it was ridiculous and extravagant to have
two lighted fields.
Dr. Fish stated that it had been 8 or 9 months since the Board had voted to
fund this facility and that at that time it had been spelled out in very clear
terms that we were funding a facility for $7.5 million dollars and that in the
past few months this figure has increased 108. He stated that he felt the message
from the Board of Supervisors to the School Board should be to come back with a
figure within the range set forth several months ago.
Dr. Wright stated that the School Board had not subscribed to the $7.5
million dollar figure; that this was the figure used in the EDA application and
that the facilities are designed as the people have asked them to be designed.
Dr. Fish stated that he felt it could be shown where the $7.5 million dollar
figure was set forth and Dr. Wright stated that this could not be done inasmuch as
they have said repeatedly that they could not give the Board a definite figure
but they would do the best they could. He stated that everything has been done
that can be done to reduce the building and that it could not be built one year
later for the same amount.
Mr. Stiles stated that when the Supervisors met with the School Board at
Carpers Valley last spring the specific question was asked if the $7.5 million
dollars would allow for inflationary pressures and Dr. Wright stated that it
would, that this was not an open ended thing. He stated that Dr. Wright had
stated that it would not-go over $7.5 and if it did it could be reduced to stay
within that figure.

Mr. Ralph Shockey stated that when the EDA application was prepared they had
0
used the best tools available to come up with a figure which would be strictly
budgetary and could vary 108 to 208 when we got into final figures. He advised
that these figures were out -of- the -hat figures which were based on good, sound
planning but not intended to be the actual cost of the school.
Mr. Stiles asked if $36 per square foot was a reasonable cost and Mr. Shockey
stated that he felt it was but that it would take close monitoring. He advised
that should the project be delayed another 6 to 8 months it would cost a great
deal more.
Mr. Stiles then asked if he felt the $36 per square foot would go up and Mr.
•
Shockey stated that he did not think it would if we proceed as we now plan to.
Mr. Stiles then asked if they would be willing to commit themselves to this. and
Mr. Shockey stated that they would not inasmuch as these are just single line
drawings'and that a committment could not-be made until the final design is
completed.
Dr. Warner advised that the building as planned contains only essential space
•
and any further reduction would cut into the programs.
Dr. Wright stated that if we are going to build the school we must move ahead
and further delays will cost more and more money.
Mr. John Solenberger stated that a lot of people had had input into the
plan for the new school and because of the cost factor.it had been adjusted down
as much as possible. He added that we need the school now and that the School
Board had worked jointly with the Board of Supervisors on this project. Mr.
Solenberger stated that additional delays will only increase the cost more and more.
Mr. Koontz stated that Mr. Rosenberger had asked for irput into this matter
and therefore he would prefer that a decision be reached at.the first meeting in
February in order to allow Mr.'Rosenberger the opportunity to review the discussion
ld tonight and to express his on this matter.
Dr. Wright advised that they were on a tight schedule and a decision should
•
be reached as quickly as possible.
Mr. Koontz stated that he felt the Board would want to look at the revenue
I � _ I
as much of the school as possible through revenue sharing funds rather than county
sharing funds and the predictions for this year inasmuch as we want to finance
taxes.
Mr. Malcolm stated that he felt a decision should be reached on this matter
•
M
on February 8th and that any further delay will increase the cost. He stated that
he hoped the public would contact their supervisors to provide their input on
his matter before the next meeting so that a decision could-be made.
Mr. Koontz asked Mr. Boyce if a decision on the 8th of February would suit
the School Board and Mr. Boyce stated that he could see no reason for the School
Board to come back inasmuch as the facts have been presented.
Mr. Koontz then stated that the Board would reach a decision on February
8th as to whether to proceed with this figure or a comparable one.
Mr. John McIntire appeared before the Board and stated that there has not been
enough space in our schools for the past several years and he did not want to see
the space in the new high school reduced. He stated that the people want a high
school built to state standards. Mr. McIntire asked if the.Board was prepared to
pay any increase in cost caused by delay from their own pockets. He added that
he felt the Board had made a commitment and should proceed with the project.
Mr. Stiles stated that he did not feel anybody was advocating delay of the
s."
T1:
school. He stated that he felt we should have the best facility we can afford
and should proceed to have it built but that Dr. Wright had stated that it could
be done for $7.5 million dollars and if we went over that figure certain things
could be cut to keep it within that range.
Upon motion made by Dr. Raymond L. Fish and seconded by Kenneth Y. Stiles,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick,
Virginia, does herein table the discussion with the Frederick County Board of
Education regarding construction of a new senior high school until the next
regular . meeting of this Board scheduled for February 8, 1978.
The above resolution was passed by the following recorded vote: Aye -
S. Roger-Koontz, Dr. Raymond L. Fish, Will L. Owings, R. Thomas Malcolm, and
Kenneth Y. Stiles.
Dr. Wright reported that the School Building Needs Report recommended that
elementary schools be built in the Middletown, Gainesboro and Gore areas; that if
these schools can not be constructed within a reasonable time, additions should
be built to provide facilities which are desperately needed.
Dr. Wright described the facilities in the Middletown, Gore and Gainesboro
schools and stated that Middletown was the number one priority. He advised that
another recommendation was that Kline School be converted to house the school
board offices, administrative and supervisory offices and the improvement center.
He stated that these facilities are now located in four buildings in very cramped
space which causes a great deal of difficulty in coordination. He stated that if
this can:: not be worked out, then they would request that space be included in
the County facilities for the school board.
W. Stiles stated that Dr. Wright had mentioned transferring some students
from Star Tannery and Mt. Williams to Middletown. He asked if this would not
alleviate some of the pressure on Gore School. He stated that the capacity of-
Apple Pie Ridge is 865 and this year's enrollment is 713. He asked if some
students from Gainesboro could be transferred to Apple Pie Ridge to help alleviate
the problems at Gainesboro.
Dr. Wright stated that if the Board wants to continue with trailers, then
space could be provided this way. He stated that this school is not planned with
a two year period but within a 4 to 5 year period and that the Committee and the
School Board felt that Middletown should be the number one priority.
Mr. Stiles stated that before we got into anything along this line, he would
like to see something on reshuffling the school districts with the use of Apple
Pie Ridge and the Middletown school inasmuch as he understood growth in these
two areas would be severely limited.
Mr. Stiles stated that if it becomes obvious that this solution will not be
adequate perhaps the board should consider the use of Kline School rather than
building a new school.
Mr. Stiles then asked if the reason the School was not being built on the
Robinson property was because of the excessive cost of water and sewer and Dr.
Wright stated that this was one reason and another was that the property in front
of the site would have to be purchased.
Mr. Stiles asked if this was not still the case, just as it had been two
years ago, and Dr. Wright stated that there was a possibility that water and sewer
might be in this area. He added that therefore this site is unacceptable for a
school and will be unacceptable for the forseeable future.
W. Owings advised that the Land Use Plan is only a guideline and not a law.

Dr. Fish asked why there was not specific recommendation for the E & S
Center in Stephens City and Dr. Wright stated that he thought the Committee was
looking at the four building situation and did not want to recommend an addition
or renovation to those facilities. He stated that the building has considerable
limitations for the handicapped. He advised that the E & S Center would probably
grow to include all the counties in the Health District with the exception of Page
County and that when this occurs, federal funds might be available for another
building.
i
Dr. Wright stated that he and the School Board wanted to make it clear that the

knew school will be a part of James Wood High School and will be a two campus school.
JHe stated that it would possibly be identified as James Wood High School, Apple

CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT - REPORT ON EXCESS FEES 1977
Mr. George Whitacre appeared before the Board and stated that for the year 1977
excess fees amounted to $71,226.29; that the County would get 2/3 of this amount or
$27,484.53 back from the State. He stated.that these fees had been realized from
the recordation of 4,492 instruments.
Mr. Whitacre requested consideration of the Board for additional space for
his office and that of the the Treasurer.
The Board recessed for ten minutes.

DRAFT LETTER REGARDING COUNTER CYCLICAL FUNDS - APPROVED

BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick,
•
Virginia, Does herein direct that the following letter be sent to our congressmen_
and senators regarding counter - cyclical funds:
Dear Representative /Senator
January 27, 1978
The Frederick County Board of Supervisors has requested that-this
letter be sent to you requesting your support in opposing the allocation
of future counter - cyclical funds under the Economic Development Act with
the current restrictions that are imposed on the use of these funds.
Frederick County has currently received over $100,000;,under this
program but the restrictions which prevent the use of these funds for
capital facilities, the prohibition to purchase items over $1,000 and
other general restrictions on these funds severely restrict the County
in utilizing these funds for expenditures which are actually needed.
The County does not wish to spend federal dollars for expenditures which vu�
would not otherwise have been made had this money not been available, but
would very much like to have the counter - cyclical funds in order to help
offset the financial burden upon the County; for instance, the purchase
of police cars, the use of this money for capital facilities, etc.
Your consideration in this matter would be greatly appreciated
and any further information that Frederick County might provide will
be sent to you upon your request.
With kindest personal regards; I remain,
SRK:ctb
Sincerely yours,
S. Roger Koontz

Dr. Fish stated that he felt individual letters would possibly be as
effective as accollective,. one.

WATER RUN -OFF ROUTE 654 DISCUSSED
Dr. Fish stated that on Route 654 there is a very serious problem with water
run -off.
Mr. George Johnston appeared before the Board and stated that the road is
in poor engineering condition and the residents in the area are concerned about
pollution from the run -off on this road. He requested that the Board investigate
this matter and stated that a letter would be sent regarding this problem to the
Health Department with a copy to Dr. Fish.
Dr. Fish requested that the following letter be made a part of the minutes of
this meeting:
Frederick County Health Department
150 Commercial Street
Winchester, Va 22601
13 January 1978
Re: Water Run -off, possible contamination, Gainesboro
Magisterial District, Frederick County, Virginia
Gentlemen:
The events of recert weeks have demonstrated great quantities of'run -off .
water from the residences along Route 654 between its intersection, Route
677 (Cedar Grove Cash Grocery) and at Route 522 (Cross Roads Grocery).
The excessive run -off is so severe as to create pockets and sheets of
ice on the road surface; sometimes exceeding as much as 8 or 10 inches in
depth. Further, it may well be that a number of the homes immediately
adjacent with Route 654 have inadequate waste water treatment facilities which
adds to the run -off problem previously described and constitutes an unsanitary
condition because of the dangers associate with untreated or inadequately
treated effluent from the residences along Route 654, as previously mentioned.
Therefore, we would very much appreciate your investigating this matter
to determine the severity of the problem, and we stand ready to assist you in
any way we can.

Mr. Koontz stated that this is one of the roads slated-to be completely rebuilt
l and that the Highway Department will not spend funds on it until such time as the
whole road can be rebuilt.
Dr. Fish stated that when this matter had been discussed before, Mr. King
advised that this project could be moved up on the priority list should the Board
Aso desire. He suggested that inasmuch as the Annual Road Hearing is coming up,
the Board might want to be considering this matter.
The problem of snow removal was discussed and Mr. Koontz stated that he felt
some procedural guidelines should be set forth by the Highway Department concerning
Ithis matter.
CITY- COUNTY JOINT FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR CAPITAL FACILITIES DISCUSSED
Mr. Koontz stated that the Winchester City Council had passed a resolution
u
with regard to the proposed 20 year agreement between the City and the County to
lbegin a joint feasibility study on capital facilities. Mr. Renalds read the
following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED, That the City Council of Winchester recinds
its 9, 1977 regarding a WINCHESSTER-
FREDERICK COUNTY AGREEMENT regarding a joint feasibility study
for joint solutions relative to governmental facilities needs; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City Council of the City of
Winchester will participate equally with the County of Frederick
in a FREDERICK- WINCHESTER GOVERNMENT FACILIRIES STUDY to locate
all capital facilities in the City of Winchester; further agreeing
that the City will not annex any portion of Frederick County for
twenty (20) years from the date of this resolution,. with the
stipulation that this agreement shall become null and void should
the joint facilities study not prove feasible or any part
thereof be independently rejected by either party.
Mr. Malcolm asked if Mr. Rosenberger's motion stated that if the City agreed
1with our resolution we would be in favor of proceeding in this direction and Mr.
Koontz replied that it did so long as Mr. Ambrogi agreed with the terminology and
JMr. Ambrogi had stated that he could see nothing wrong with the terminology.
Dr. Fish stated that he would have to object to the words "all capital
facilities within the City of Winchester ".
Mr. Koontz stated that this is not a contract and that he would expect the
u
Capital Facilities Committee to work very closely with the City Committee and all
others concerned on this matter. He advised that the Capital Facilities Committee
1would look at other alternatives as well so that the Board would have a selection
and could pursue the best route.
The Board agreed to proceed on the basis of the previous resolution passed
lby the Board and Mr. Koontz requested the Capital Facilities Committee to meet
1with the appropriate City committee to commence work on this project.
CARPERS DRIVE DISCUSSED
Mr. Stiles requested the Board to investigate the current situation and
possible solution to the problems on Carpers Drive in Sunnyside. The Board agreed
and the County Administrator was requested to write to the Highway department for
an update on the situation regarding this road.
WATER LINE ON OLD CHARLES TOWN ROAD
Mr. Stiles requested that the Board and the Sanitation Authority move toward
a solution regarding the problems of installing a water line on the old Charles
(Town Road.

Mr. Koontz advised that this project would be feasible if 50 signatures of
residents in this area could be obtained on a petition before February 22, 1978 and

SCHOOL BOARD REQUEST FOR $8.2 MILLION DOLLARS. FUNDING FOR NEW SENIOR
HIGH SCHOOL - DENIED
Mr. Koontz stated that all Board Members had received a letter from the School
setting forth their position on the new senior high school and that they
nput into this matter and that each speaker would be allowed ten minutes to make
not be present at this meeting. He advised that the Board would take public
s presentation.
Mr. Sam Lehman appeared before the Board representing the Frederick County
axpayers Association and stated that this organization wanted to know what the
is of the individual major items in this project would be. He stated that their
rs felt the Board should have, as a minimum, a breakdown of the costs of these
items and should be sure it understands what it is getting for the money
ich will be spent.
Mr. Ed Bridgeforth appeared before the Board in support of the funding request
r $8.2 for the new senior high school
ntation of the Shawnee District.
He commended Mr. Malcolm for his repre-
W. Bridgeforth stated that his comments were made not only as an active member
f the James Wood Athletic Association and an individual but also reflected the
lings of the silent majority of the citizens of Frederick County. He strongly
the Board not to reduce the $8.2 funding request for the new school stating
such a reduction would eliminate the facilities we have lacked for so many
s. He advised that the $7.5 figure was an estimate only and the increase of
700,000 was less than 108. Mr. Bridgeforth urged the Board not to cut the athletic
facilities stating that our children need and deserve a first class facility. He
stated that transporting students between the two campuses is a great handicap for
teachers, students and coaches and is also quite expensive.
Mr. Bridgeforth requested that the size of the auxillary gym not be reduced
inasmuch as this facility is used by many people and that it is a necessary facility
to provide the required units of physical education for students. He pointed out
that James Wood at its present location does not have an adequate basketball court
and therefore.must use the one at the Frederick County Junior High School which
necessarily interferes with the activities of that school. Mr. Bridgeforth stated
that space must be provided for girls athletics as required by law. He stated
that the Board should consider very carefully the impact a reduction of these
facilities could have on a potentially outstanding athlete.

W. Owings stated that he was interested in athletics but felt that we should

thinking about studies rather than athletics and Mr. Bridgeforth replied that
order to compete an individual needs a sharp, open mind encased in a strong,
thy body.
Mr. Stiles stated that he had had some questions.concerning the auxillary
but now has resolved in his mind the need for this facility.
Dr. Bryan Landes appeared before the Board in support of the funding request
asked how much the $700,000 increase would cost the average taxpayer in the
and Mr. Stiles stated that it would amount to approximately 7¢ on the tax
. He added that it would range, according to the value of the property, from
tely $16 to $100 per year.
Mrs. Retha Crosen appeared before the Board in support of the requested
•
stated that she too felt a well- rounded education was important but that a part
f this comes from participation in athletics. She stated that many students in the
would not be afforded "_a college education if it were not for athletic scho
ships and that many students would not even stay in high school if it were not for
the athletic program. She stated that she felt neither classrooms, athletic faci-
lities or any other feature should be cut from the proposed new school.
Mr. Jerry Chisam appeared before the Board and stated that if the athletic
facilities were removed there would be no outside activities left for the children
in the community. He urged them not to eliminate these facilities.
Mr. John Pickeral appeared before the Board in opposition to the requested
ding stating that it seemed that the question had come down to athletic
ilities and he felt the issue was much larger. He stated that he had been opposed
the location of the school from the beginning and felt it should be built where
children are. He stated that he felt the Board was being pushed into a position
open -ended funding.
He stated
that
he
felt the plan for the
school
was
not
well
ught out before it was
presented
to
the
Board. Mr. Pickeral
stated
that
if
the
1 Board has their way new schools will be built and others abandoned and he did
feel the County could afford this.
Mr. Bob Howard appeared before the Board and stated that he almost completely
agreed with Mr. Pickeral. He stated that he felt misleading statements had been
as to the funding of the school and that the School Board had asked for more
and more space than was necessary to accomodate 1,400 pupils.
Mr.-.Carl Ay appeared bofore the Board and stated that he felt athletic
i
facilities proposed for the new school would benefit only a limited number of
students and he felt this was a great deal of money to spend when so.few students
use these facilities.
Mr. James Casey, Athletic Director at James Wood High School, appeared before
the Board and stated that when James Wood was.constructed the gym had been enlarged
at the very last minute and still is not adequate inasmuch as the seating capacity
is only 350. He advised that because of this inadequacy the James Wood basketball
games must be played at the Frederick County Junior School. He urged the Board
not to make the same mistake with this new school. Mr. Casey advised that many
students at James Wood, both boys and girls, participate in athletics and that the
facilities would be used by many individuals in many instances all day long and
into the evening. He described the athletic program at James Wood and stated that
it would be almost impossible to carry on a good program if the students must-be
(transported between the two campuses. Mr. Casey stated that the facilities at
James Wood are not at..all comparable to any other school in our league.
s II Mr. Sam Lehman stated that he felt the important question was not what.. people
21
c wanted, but'what we can afford.
Dr. Forrest Racey, former President of Shenandoah College & Conservatory,
appeared before the Board and stated that when the College was constructed
eighteen years ago they had made the mistake'of building too small and that now
they are paying a tremendous financial cost by not building large enough in the
first place.
W. Stiles asked if the cost of building the facilities to stand unused
until they are needed had been calculated and Dr. Racey- stated that actually
they had been needed the second year and they had been paying for it ever since.
He advised that he had called a leading architectural firm in Roanoke who designs
schools to ascertain what the cost per square foot was running and found that
it was between $32 to-$38-per square foot. Dr. Racey advised that the Handley.
Library addition was going to cost from $42 to $47 per square foot.
Mr. Stiles stated that he felt there were several misconceptions which
needed to be cleared up.
$7.5 figure was sort of a
it was unreasonable for tl

if $7.5 would be the maximum figure for the new school
and that this amount included athletic facilities which could be deleted to
keep within this maximum amount and Dr. Wrigtlt had concurred with this statement;
secondly that the Board would have input into the construction of the building
and be-kept informed as to exactly how the money is being spent as the building
is constructed and that Mr. Boyce had.advised that members of the School Board.
has agreed with this.
Mr. Stiles stated that it is very clear that the Board is being asked to
increase a figure which has been given clearly as a maximum. He advised that
he did not want to see the athletic facilities cut.
W. Stiles stated that he had talked with Mr. John±. - Hammill of the State
Department of Education in Richmond regarding the requirements for square foot-
age per student in new schools and that Mr. Hammill had advised that approvals
were given from 95 to 1"46 square feet and that 125 square feet is an average
and that when it goes over 125 square feet it should be investigated to see if
the cost and space is justified.
Mr. Stiles stated that Mr. Hammill advised thatauditoriums such-as the one
proposed for the new school are generally being done away with because of the
cost factor. He advised that the cafeteria could be designed with a stage at
one end and be used for assemblies etc. and if there is a strong drama program,
then the little theater concept could be explored. Mr. Stiles pointed out the
various auditoriums located within Winchester and Frederick County which could
be utilized.
Mr. Malcolm stated that this Board, both in the past and recently_ had
committed themselves to build this school and had agreed to fund it. He stated
thatrin the minutes of February 9, 1977 it is set forth in the resolution passed
by the Board that the $7.5 figure was an estimated figure. He stated that in
those minutes Dr. Wright did concur with the statement made above but the Board
had also been a party in asking the.School Board to'hurriedly prepare an EDA
application in the hopes of receiving funds. Mr. Malcolm stated that in the
same minutes it is documented that Mr. Stiles stated that should the school be

built as proposed, it would be operating at capacity when it opened and that he
subsequently denied that he-had said this. He stated that he felt we have been
guilty of providing short range solutions toolong range problems, and that we are
not much farther along on this project than we were in 1973
Mr. Malcolm stated that the Board of Supervisors has been responsible for
delaying this project and therefore must share the responsibility in the increased
cost inasmuch as several proposals had been presented to the Board and refused.
Mr. Malcolm stated that according to the consumer report the average inflation
C�
costs have been from 98 to 158 and that this project is less than 98. He added
that no builder in this community would admit that this increase is at all out of
line.
Mr. Malcolm pointed out that another Board Member had opposed the location
of the proposed school but had stated that he would support the School Board in
the project even though he did not agree with it and that now this is not the case.
He asked if the Board's decision would be based on fact and sound business judgment
exclusive of previous disagreements on location, program or'design and personalities.
Mr. Malcolm pointed out that in our own budget several of the Board Members
•
had sought to have a $90,000 contingency fund established but the Finance Committee
felt this was too large and it was reduced to $30,000 to balance the budget. He
added that in the first six months of the budget, this amount has been exceeded
by $37,639.
Mr. Malcolm stated that there 'is a_possibility that some day this new school
will become a four year school and t e gym, auditorium, athletic facilities,
etc. will cost more to construct at a later date.
Mr. Malcolm stated that he had contacted as many citizens in his district
•
•
as possible and that he had talked with approximately 30 people and only one had
disagreed with the current planning and financing of the new school. He urged the
Board to consider the points he had presented and not allow the issues to be clouded,
by past disagreements.
Mr. Owings stated that he had been opposed to the school on Apple Pie Ridge
and still felt the same way. He stated that he felt there should be two 4 -year
high schools and that he felt schools should be constructed where the children are.
He stated that with two schools twice as many students could participate in athletics
He added that when the School Board voted to go with the present location and concept
he had stated he would support the project but that the figure it was based upon
at that time was $7.5 million dollars. He stated that he could not support any
further expenditures for this school.
Dr. Fish stated that he took exception to the first sentence contained in
the letter from the School Board wherein the words "pseudo agreed upon construction
figures" were set forth. He stated that he did not feel there was anything pseudo
about the $7.5 million figure and that the fact that the - school Board was not in
attendance tonight was very significant. He stated that there are personalities
involved but that there are other things which far surpass personalities. He
stated that the Board had been told by the man in charge of construction management
only a few nights ago that the.building has not yet been designed. Dr. Fish
stated that he felt the Board was being asked to buy a large unknown property.
Dr. Fish stated that he felt the Board had been guilty of short range planning
for far too long and that we need to provide for the needs of children for many
years to come. He added that he had predicted an increase in cost of this project
many months before and that it would appear that the project could approach a
figure of ten million dollars. He added that with these things in mind• he felt
:2;2:0
the Board should hold the line on the previously understood figure.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that the $7.5 figure had been discussed openly last
year and a lot of questions had been asked at that time regarding athletic
facilities. He stated that it was his understanding from Dr. Wright and the
School Board that the athletic facilities would be-included in this figure and if
this was not possible they could delete them to stay within this figure. He
added that he felt that since the School Board had been considering another high
school since 1973, this was ample time for them to have received input from the
various departments as to their needs when the matter was acted upon one year ago.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that he had met with the Finance Committee of the
School Board in October and at that time had asked if the $7.5 figure would
stand. He advised that he was told that it would or a figure very near it.
He added that he did not feel the Board was unreasonable but that they should
have been informed regarding the $700,000 increase before this point in time.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that this will mean an increase in taxes and for some it
will not seem like a lot but for others it will be very difficult to pay.
Mr. Rosenberger stated should a new school be necessary in the Stephens
City - Middletown area in the near future,.athletic facilities would be necessary
there and further that should growth continue around Winchester, there is a
ty the new school could be converted to a four year school with athletic
facilities added at that time. He added that he felt we might be hasty in building
athletic facilities at the site before we know what::thek.growth patterns will be.
W. Rosenberger stated that as far as the over expenditure in the contingency
k
fund was concerned, he felt this was not such a great amount when you are dealing
with a $17.5 million dollar budget.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that he could not accept the $700,000 increase in its
present form but would be willing to give the School Board an additional $200,000
because of inflation.
Mr. Malcolm stated that if we choose to ignore the fact that when we applied
for the EDA funds it was done in a very short time we are being less than honest.
He stated that he found it difficult to rationalize why it was allright for the
Board to make an error in.budgeting but it was not allright for someone else.
Mr. Stiles stated that the EDA application was based on $35 per square foot
and this figure is based on $36 per square foot, therefore the question is not
really inflation but that the facility has been designed larger than had been
expected. He advised that the School Board had stated that there was a reasonable
chance the school would come in under the $7.5 figure and the question was whether
it would take all of this.amount. Mr. Stiles stated that he felt the Board had
been consistently misled regarding the proposed new high school.
Dr. Fish stated that it has been said that the $7.5 figure was one which
was put together in haste and was only an estimate. He added that it would not
take weeks or months of planning and computation to come up with an estimated
number of students; that this could be multiplied by X number of square feet and
this multiplied by Y number of dollars per square foot to arrive at an estimated
figure. He added that he felt this is what had been done to come up with the new
estimate and that according to the construction management consultant we are no.:
closer to a true estimate than we were when the-$7.5 figure was estimated.
Mr. Malcolm stated that if there is any intention of building athletic
facilities at the new school it should be done now and that to delay would be
somewhat narrow minded inasmuch as it would cost more in,.the future.

Mr. Stiles stated that it is not the Board'of Supervisors decision to make as
to what to do about the athletic facilities that this is a decision the School
Board must make. He added that the decision of the Board of Supervisors was what
the tax payers can afford. He stated that he understood the desirability of
athletic facilities but that he still questioned the practicality.
Mr. Koontz thanked the Board for their extensive research and participation
on this matter. He stated that many areas had been discussed and the Board should
rise above the past disagreements in reaching a decision on this matter. He stated
that this decision would have a longer range effect on the community than any
other decision the Board might make.
The Board then recessed for ten minutes.

\J
Mr. Rosenberger stated that when the Board committed itself to the $7.5
figure a year ago they felt very sure that this was the final figure and there-
fore he would move to deny the request of the School Board for funding in the
amount of $8.2 million dollars.
Mr. Stiles stated that he felt he had done everything possible to determine
i
•
if the request for funding was justified and that he had tried to the best of his
ability to eliminate-personalities from the issue. He added that he was voting in
full confidence for what he felt was best for Frederick County and that he felt
the facility could be built for $7.5 million dollars.
Upon motion made by Thomas B. Rosenberger and seconded by Will L. Owings,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick,
Virginia does herein deny the request of the Frederick County Board of Education
for funding for the new senior high school in the amount of $8,200 1'000.
The above resolution was passed by the following recorded vote: Aye
Thomas B. Rosenberger, Dr. Raymond L. Fish, Will L. Owings, and Kenneth Y. Stiles.
Nay - S. Roger Koontz and R. Thomas Malcolm.
Mr. Rosenberger stated that as he had said earlier he felt that $7.5 figure
•
7
LJ
was more than an estimate but that due to inflation he would move to authorize
the School Board to proceed with the project and to increase the figure by $200,000
making the total figure $7,700,000 with the understanding that it be madeavery
clear that this is the final, maximum figure for funding the new high school.
This motion was seconded by R. Thomas Malcolm and defeated by the following
recorded vote: Aye - Thomas B. Rosenberger, S. Roger Koontz, and R. Thomas Malcolm.
Nay - Dr. Raymond L. Fish, Will L. Owings, and Kenneth Y. Stiles.
Mr. Louis Costello called for a point of order in the proceedings and requested
\J
to see a copy of a letter from the Attorney General regarding votes cast by Mr.
a copy of this letter several times but has not yet seen it.
Koontz and Mr. Malcolm on school related issues. He stated that he had requested
Mr. Koontz stated that the letter does in fact exist and Mr. Costello would be
permitted to see said letter.
Mr. Costello then asked if Mr. Koontz and Mr. Malcolm would withdraw their
j

votes and Mr. Koontz stated that the previous action would stand. Mr. Koontz
then declared Mr. Costello out of order and the matter was not discussed further.
