Y
u
Alderman, Mr. Ambrogi and Mr. Whiting wherein G. E. could construct their foundation but nothing else. He
311
J
stated that on March 8th he informed Mr. Whiting and Mr. Richter that he still could not issue a permit for

appear before the Board of Supervisors and therefore are on the agenda tonight. Mr. Whiting stated that he
felt the section of the Code Mr. Webber was referring to in making his decision was intended to mean the
State Board of Health and not the Board of Supervisors. He stated that since approval had been given by the

r
proposal to G. E. and at this time they have not accepted it.

the ordinance regulating the extension of water and sewer lines into the County and Mr. Ambrogi stated that he
not feel that it did.
Mr. Madigan stated that the building permit was contingent upon the ordinance because any dwelling
in this county, before the issuance of a building permit, must have an approved water and sewer system.
Mr. Whiting asked what the Board required in order to issue a building permit.
Mr. Madigan stated that the Board wanted to see how they intended to water and sewer the property.
Mr. Whiting stated that they had complied with the requirements of the Health Department.
Mr. Bowman stated that the City of Winchester does not have the authority to extend any water or
sewer lines into the County without the express consent of the Board of Supervisors and this had been conveyed
to G.E.
Mr. Cole stated that he hated to see G.E. held up in their building during this pretty weather. He
stated that he was in favor of granting the building permit tonight and as far as the extension of water and
sewer, he felt this would come under the ordinance.
Mr. Richter stated that G. E. had asked for construction bids and these bids were to be awarded
next week. He felt G. E. would be greatly embarrassed if a contract could not be awarded at the specified time.
Mr. Russell stated that he was concerned because of the bind this could put on the Sanitation
Authority to meet the deadline to provide the services.
Mr. Madigan stated that he felt all parties concerned should meet together for as long as necessary
to resolve these problems.
Upon motion made by Richard F. Madigan and seconded by J. Robert Russell,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick does herein table the
building permit of G. E. until G. E. can submit their plans for water and sewer, until the April meeting or at

Mr. Bragg before the Board in support of his application stating that the
festival would be held on May 4th from 8:00 to 12:00 P.H.. He stated that he felt he had
complied with all the requirements of the County Ordinance. He described the parking facilities
proposed for the festival and the provisions for security. Mr. Bragg stated that the music
would consist of both hard and soft rock and would be rendered for no more than a four hour
period.

Mr. Clinton Ritter appeared in opposition to the application stating that he was a
property owner in the area and felt that such a festival would create a very serious traffic
hazard. He stated that Route 600 was very crooked and must be traveled at a very slow rate of
speed. He further stated that parking along this road would create a serious hazard and that
the entrance to the property was very difficult to negotiate even if you are familiar with it. '
Several other homeowners in the area appeared before the Board in opposition to the
application stating that such a festival encroached upon their privacy as homeowners. They
objected to the noise, the traffic hazard, the type of people involved, and expressed concern
for the ability of the applicant to adequately police such an affair.
A homeowner in the area stated that last year such a festival was held in this area '
and the highway had been blocked and the crowd had become rather rowdy. She stated that the
Sheriff's Department had been called to the scene in order to control the situation and restore
order.
Mr. Chip Johnson, Chairman of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival, appeared before
the Board in opposition to the application stating that the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival
Committee had also scheduled a rock concert for May 4th at the Handley High School Gymnasium.
He stated that the concert had been planned for the young people in the area and this festival would
be in direct conflict with the one planned by the Festival Committee. Mr. Johnson stated that thee
concert planned by the Committee would accomodate approximately 2,000 people and would be held
under the auspices of the Festival Committee.
Mr. Bragg stated that he felt his admission and parking plans had been so laid out as
to insure no traffic hazard. He further stated that he felt his security staff would be quite ad- '
equate to handle the number of people involved and that he did not feel his concert would have
an adverse effect on the one being presented by the Apple Blossom Festival Committee.
Mr. Sandy asked Mr. Bragg if his security staff consisted of trained police officers.
Mr. Bragg stated that his staff was composed of people approximately his own age and that his
father would also be present.
Mr. Sandy asked Sheriff Anderson if he could forsee any traffic problem in the area
and Sheriff Anderson stated that last year such a festival had been held in the area and
there had been a severe traffic problem.'
Mr. Cole asked Mr. Bragg if law enforcement officers would be permitted on the property
at any time and Mr. Bragg stated that they would be permitted at any time in accordance with the
application.
Mr. Ritter stated that several property owners had a right of way through this property
and this right of way would be blocked to the people if this festival were allowed. '
Mr. Hodgson moved that the Application for Rock Festival of J. Phillip Bragg be denied.
The motion died for lack of a second.
After a lengthy delay, the Board was deadlocked and Chairman Sandy recessed the meeting
until 5:00 P.M. '
The meeting was reconvened at 5:00 P.M.
The Chairman called the meeting to order.
PRESENT: Raymond C. Sandy, Chairman; Donald R. Hodgson; Dennis T. Cole; and Richard F.
Madigan.
Mr. Sandy asked Mr. Madigan if he had any questions concerning this application. Mr.
Madigan stated that he fully understood the application add had no questions.
Upon motion made by Donald R. Hodgson and seconded by Richard F. Madigan,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick does herein
335
deny the Application for Rock Festival of J. Phillip Bragg for the following reasons:
1. The size of the proposed site (approximately five acres) is too small to provide
for ample parking, access, and turnaround space for the number of persons and vehicles expected
to be present.
' 2. The terrain is rolling and uneven, making parking of passenger vehicles difficult
and possibly hazardous, especially in the event that heavy rainfall has made the ground soft
and unstable.
3. Access to the proposed site from Route 600 is so located that a dangerous
traffic situation will be created should a large number of vehicles enter or. leave Route 600
' at this point, especially after dark.
4. The ability and the authority of people approximately seventeen years of age to
control a gathering of people of the size contemplated and to control and confiscate alcoholic
beverages and /or drugs is extremely doubtful. Law enforcement officers are a necessity at an
event of this size and no provisions have been made with the Frederick County Sheriff or other
law officer to perform this duty.
5. The timing of the proposed event will conflict with the Apple Blossom Festival.
This will not only detract from the festival, but because of the timing, it will not permit
local or state law enforcement officials to assist in traffic and crowd control since they will
be heavily committed in and around the City of Winchester.
6. The proposed event will encroach upon homeowners in the area and restrict ready
access to their property should traffic problems develop.
' By recorded vote with Raymond C. Sandy, Donald R. Hodgson, and Richard F. Madigan
voting "Aye" and Dennis T. Cole "Abstaining" the above resolution was passed. Mr. Cole
made the following statement regarding his abstention:
"I must abstain from voting on this motion
because the minutes covering this ordinance show
no recorded vote, nor have these minutes been attested
to. Therefore, according to my point of view, I do
not think this is a valid ordinance."

Dr. Melton Wright to omit the sprinkler systems from the new schools to be built in Stephens

Department approval and further subject to a fee of $100.00 per lot being paid for recreation.
' The above resolution was passed unanimously.
Shawneeland Subdivision - Withdrawn
The plat of Shawneeland Subdivision was withdrawn. However, Mr. Eugene Gunter appeared
before the Board stating that he represented a property owner in Shawneeland and would like to
I address the Board.
Mr. Gunter stated that he represented Mr. Jack Hoover and it was his understanding that
the plat of Shawneeland was seeking approval on a blanket basis for health department approval
which would leave each individual lot to be approved upoq_application,for a building permit.
He stated that Mr. Hoover had purchased Lot No. 151-in-Shawneeland in 1969 and was given the
guarantee that if this lot did not meet health specifications, he would be given another lot of
like kind and quality. However, when Mr. Hoover sought to build on the property it would not meet
the health requirements and after much discussion he was given Lot 58 on Aspen Trail in trade for
Lot 151. Mr. Hoover then was informed that Lot 58 had been sold and was not available. Marjec
342
now offers to sell Mr. Hoover something like a lot for $10,000.00 and give him credit for the
amount he paid for his lot in 1969. Mr. Gunter stated that Marjec is the biggest delinquent
taxpayer on the rolls of Frederick County. Mr. Gunter said that he did not believe this Board is
performing an act which is to the benefit of Frederick County and to most of its residents and
taxpayers and particularly to the prospective buyers of lots in Shawneeland, when it approves ,
these sub - divisions in this sort of carte blanc fashion. He stated that if Marjec is not going to
stand behind their warranty and guarantee that the older members of the Board had heard them
make time and time again, he did not feel the Board should approve these sub - divisions.
Mr. Gunter stated that this guarantee was not being carried out and for this Board to
approve another subdivision of some 120 lots where this same thing could take place over and over '
again as it did with Mr. Hoover would be a miscarriage of justice. Mr. Gunter said that he would
ask this Board to consider very carefully approving such a subdivision under these circumstances.
He stated that he felt this Board should be a sounding board for the grievances of the people of
the county and when Shawneeland presented another plat to be approved on the same basis as the
plat where this miscarriage of justice took place, someone should speak in opposition and he did.
Mr. Sandy thanked Mr. Gunter for appearing before the Board.
AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION ON SUBDIVISION PROCEDURE - APPROVED

BE IT RESOLVED, By the Board of Supervisors of the County of Frederick that henceforth

and the feasibility could be proven, there would be tax relief for the elderly citizens of the

WORK SESSION - JUNE 6, 1973
A work session was held in the Board of Supervisors' Room on Wednesday, June 6, 1973. Those present
were: The Board of Supervisors; Constitutional Officers; Department Heads, and five representatives of the news
media.
Mr. Sandy stated that he hoped the work sessions would continue and a good working relationship could
1
be maintained with the news media. He stated that the work sessions had not been closed but had been open to
both the public and the press.
Mr. Cole questioned whether or not these work sessions could be classified as special meetings and
therefore subject to code regulations for calling a special meeting.
Mr. Renalds stated that this was neither a regular nor a special meeting and there were not specific
restrictions on a meeting such as this provided it was open to the public and the press had been notified.
There was discussion concerning whether or not these work sessions were in violation of the Freedom
of Information Act and the effect the new ruling of the General Assembly would have on the meetings.
Mr. Russell stated that if everything he said during a work session was available for publication, he
would not feel free to express his opinions inasmuch as his opinion might be different the next day.
Mr. Jack Davis stated that anything discussed during the meeting would be public information and there-
fore subject to publication.
Mr. Sandy asked Mr. Ambrogi if it was legal to hold the work session tonight.
Mr. Ambrogi stated that his opinion and the opinion of one of the assistant Attorneys General was that
the meeting was legal inasmuch as it was open to the public and the press had been notified. He stated that
this was not a closed meeting or an executive session. Mr. Ambrogi said that there were six purposes for which
356
an executive session could be called. He stated that before June 1st there had been seven but the one that had
been deleted was the one wherein you could discuss anything at a closed or executive session that would again
come up and be subject to a public hearing. Therefore this could not now be done.
Mr. Ambrogi stated that the regular meetings of the Board, which are set in January of each year, are
the meetings wherein action can be taken. He stated that he had explained the meeting quite thoroughly to the
Attorney General and he was also of the opinion that the work session would be a legal meeting as long
as it was restricted to discussion and no action taken. He stated however that minutes must be taken of any work
session as of June 1st.
Mr. Sandy asked what the six items were which could be discussed in executive session.
Mr. Ambrogi stated that they were as follows:
(1) Discussion or consideration of employment, assignment, appointment, promotion, demotion, salaries,
disciplining or resignation of public officers, appointees or employees of any public body.
(2) Discussion or consideration of the condition, acquisition, or use of real property for public pur-
or for the disposition of publicly held property.
(3) The protection of the privacy of individuals in personal matters not related to public business.
(4) Discussion concerning a prospective business or industry where no previous announcement has been
of the business or industry's interest in locating in the community.
(5) Investing of public funds where competition or bargaining are involved where if made public ini
, the financial interest of the governmental unit would be adversely affected.
(6) Consultation of legal counsel and briefings by staff members, consultants or attorneys pertaining
petty litigation or legal matters within the jurisdiction of the public body including legal documents.
(6b) No meeting shall become an executive or closed meeting unless there shall have been recorded a
it vote to that effect by the public body holding such meeting which motion shall state specifically the
or purposes hereinabove set forth in this section which are to be the subject of such meeting.
(6c) No resolution, ordinance, rule, contract, regulation or motion adopted, passed or agreed to in the
e or closed meeting shall become effective unless such public body, following such meeting, reconvenes in
meeting and takes a vote of the membership on such resolution, ordinance, rule, contract, or regulation or
(6d) Nothing in this:;dection shall be construed to prevent the holding of conferences between two or
public bodies or their representatives, but these conferences shall be subject to the same regulations for
ig executive or closed sessions as are applicable to any other public body.
The 1973 Amendment eliminated former Subdivision A -7 which related to the discussion of any matter
would be the topic of public hearing prior to final decision.
There was discussion as to whether or not the work sessions would serve any good purpose if everything
,sed would be available for publication. Mr. Sandy stated that he felt the entire matter revolved around the
ig relationship between the Board and the press.
Mr. Sandy asked if it would be agreeable and permissable for the Chairman and the Vice Chairman to meet
th members of the staff and bring their recommendations back to the Board.
Mr. Ambrogi stated that as long as there was just discussion and no action taken, this would be permis-
Mr. Renalds stated that the request for this work session was for the purpose of working on the trailer
1.O .
Mr. Cole stated that he felt this ordinance should be referred to a committee for study and then dis-
at a regular meeting.
Mr. Sandy stated he felt the ordinance had already been through committee inasmuch as the County Planner
Administrator and other staff members had prepared the ordinance for review by the Board.
Mr. Russell recommended that the constitutional officers present any reports or requests they might have
r
357
and further recommended that a committee be formed to review the trailer ordinance and report back to the Board.
The Board agreed to consider this recommendation and perhaps discuss the same at the next regularly
scheduled Board Meeting.
The meeting was then adjourned.
