COMMITTEE REPORTS
LANDFILL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE REPORT - APPROVED UNDER THE
CONSENT AGENDA
The Landfill Oversight Committee met on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at 8:00 a.m. All
committee members were present except Gary Dove, John R. Riley, Jr., and Timothy Coyne. All
items were discussion items only and no items were acted upon.
1. Proiect Updates
New Citizens' Convenience Area: The facility is over 95 percent complete. It is anticipated
that the facility will be completed and in operation by November of 2006.
Upgrade of Leachate Treatment Facility: The upgrade is continuing in an effort to comply
with more stringent monitoring requirements set forth by the state. Completion is anticipated in
December 2006.
New Cell Development: Contract I was awarded to Perry Engineering Company, Ine., in the
amount of$2,000,000 to eonstruct a new municipal solid waste landfill cell. Phase II, Cell B. This
portion ofthe eontract included excavation ofan additional 200,000 cubic yards of material within
the cell limits. This work is part of our proposed landfill permit amendment.
The total bid amount for the excavation and cell development project was $3,636,071.
Contract I was issued to enable Perry Engineering Company, Inc. to initiate the project prior to the
arrival of winter and inclement weather conditions.
Contract II, in the amount of $1 ,636,071 for construction of the liner system will be issued
in the near future with an anticipated completion date of Summer 2007. Funding to cover this latter
project will be transferred from the landfill reserve fund.
Improvements on Clarke County Property: Improvements on the property located in Clarke
County include: 1) construction of a low water bridge and haul road 2) installation ofthe tree buffer
along the eastem side of the site, 3) installation of 800 feet of three-board fence and the lagoon
closure have been completed. These items were requirements of the special use permit issued by
Clarke County.
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10111106
131
New Landfill Scales: It is anticipated that design of the scales will begin during winter
2006/2007.
2. Schedulinl!: E-Cvcle/Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events
The committee discussed scheduling offuture E-cycle/Household Hazardous Waste events.
The committee indicated that the new citizens' convenience center would be a better location for
future events because of its location. Once the new convenience center is open, staff will be better
able to provide recommendations for better service for the citizens as well as to lower costs
associated with providing these services beginning with the events planned for 2007.
It may be possible to utilize our own staff for these events once they have received training
in all matters of safety issues. A savings would be realized ifthe localities chose this option instead
of uti Ii zing the subcontractor's staff. One concem expressed by the committee was whether or not
our staff could meet the safety requirements associated with handling of hazardous waste; however,
the committee was informed that oversight of the events would still be handled by subcontractors.
Further discussion of these matters would be required prior to any implementation.
3. ProDosed Fiscal Year 2007/2008 Landfill Rates
Landfill Manager Steve Frye reported that the Frederick County Regional Landfill (FCRL)
has some of the lowest disposal/tipping fees in the area for accepting municipal solid waste,
construction demolition debris and sludges. These lower tipping fees appear to be an incentive to
entice the flow of out-of-area waste, staff performs random waste inspections. Based on this
information, the committee appeared receptive to a proposed rate increase in an effort to reduce the
incentive for haulers to transport or attempt to dispose of out-of-area waste in the FCRL.
Rccommendations for the proposed rate increases will be submitted at the time ofbudget preparation
process.
4. McKenzie Containers DisciDlinarv Action and Status
Previously, McKenzie Containers was caught attempting to transport and dispose of out-of-
area at the FCRL. Consequently, their landfill disposal privileges have been suspended. In the
interim, McKenzie has developed a job log (i.e. run sheet) and requested that their disposal
privileges be reinstated. The committee discussed the issue, but did not make a recommendation
or vote on reinstatement of McKenzie ' s disposal pri vileges. This matter shall be taken up at the next
meeting.
The committee requested that an oversight committee meeting be scheduled for the end of
October at the FCRL. Committee members were interested in viewing the new convenience site as
well as other improvements at the landfill and adjoining properties.

***Items Requiring Action***
1. Traffic Calminl!: in Subdivision - ADDroved
At the August 28, 2006 meeting of the Transportation Committee, staff briefed the
Committee on a request received from members of the Oakdale Crossing neighborhood for the
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/11/06
132
County to request that VDOT consider the neighborhood as part of its traffic calming program. The
residents are concerned about a high number of speeding vehicles moving through their
neighborhood as they cut through from Senseny Road to Route 50.
At the meeting, the Committee discussed at length what would be the requirements of the
program and the subsequent impacts on staff and VDOT. There was a concern that this application,
while likely deserving of a positive recommendation, could spur a high number of additional
requests. It was determined that staff should create some criteria for considering these applications
before reviewing them and ultimately recommending or not recommending them for Board of
Supervisors' action.
Staff has compiled some fairly simple criteria that it feels should help control the flow of
applications without putting undue extra requirements on the citizens of the neighborhood. They
are as follows:
1. Summary of property and owners along the roadways in question accompanied by a
petition signed by a majority of those owners submitted to the County Transportation
Planner.
2. List of issues that are taking place, including key days and times to aid in county staff
evaluation of issue.
3. Staff will evaluate conditions as reported and complete a recommendation to the
Transportation Committee.
Item one creates a need for effort on the part ofthe applicant to gather the needed signatures
and information on property owners. This is also a requirement of the VDOT program and, as such,
does not ask the applicants to do work they would not already be completing.
Item two asks the applicants to list the issues they are observing and/or concerned about
along with days and times that these issues are most often observed. This aids staff in completing
their evaluation as required in item three.
After a brief discussion the following motion was made:
MOTION: Mr. James Racey, second by Mr. Phil Lemieux
To adopt the application process as presented by staff.
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board
approved the traffic calming application process.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote:
Richard C. Shickle Aye
Bill M. Ewing Aye
Charles S. DeHaven, Jr. Aye
Gary W. Dove Aye
Gcne E. Fisher Aye
Philip A. Lemieux Aye
Barbara E. Van Osten Aye
2. Position on County Bus Service EXDansions - Postponed for 30 Days
At the May 15,2006 meeting of the Transportation Committee, thc Committee made the
recommendation that transit service into the County be funded at a level of $80,000 and increase
fares to $1.00. This recommendation was subsequently approved by the Finance Committee and
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/11/06
133
the Board of Supervisors. Staff has since been working with the City to determine the needed
reductions in service to meet that budgeted amount. Difficulties in obtaining accurate and detailed
cost data, particularly as regards grant coverage, have led to delays in this process. Staff continues
to work with City and County officials to get this issue resolved.
In addition, staff has learned that the City Transit Department needs the County to make a
decision on potential enhancements to that system in the form of new routes. This is in regards to
an expansion grant applicable to the Route II corridor north toward the Clearbrook area. If there
is not a desire for enhancements at this time, staff needs authorization to draft a letter to the Virginia
Department of Rail and Public Transportation stating that preference.
The Committee discussed the item and it was determined that until the existing bus routes
could be shown to be successful it would be premature to create further routes into the county.
MOTION: Mr. Phil Lemieux seconded by Mr. James Racey
To not participate in the expansion grant to create bus service for Route II North to the
Clearbrook area.
Motion passed unanimously.
Upon a motion by Vice-Chairman Ewing, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board
postponed this item for 30 days.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote:
Richard C. Shickle Aye
Bill M. Ewing Aye
Charles S. DeHaven, Jr. Aye
Gary W. Dove Aye
Gene E. Fisher Aye
Philip A. Lemieux Aye
Barbara E. Van Osten Aye
***Items Not Requiring Action***
1. MetroDolitan Plannin!!: Or!!:anization (MPO) Activitv Update
Staff provided the following update to the Committee. No action was needed or taken.
There are a number of initiatives underway at the MPO about whieh the committee should
know.
I. Bicycle & Pedestrian Mobility Plan
On August 22, 2006, the consultant and members ofthe plan steering committee, which
includes county officials and staff, toured the City and County in an effort to educate the

plan is the stakeholders meeting, which will be held September 18, 2006 at 1:00 at the
conference room of Our Health located at 329 N. Cameron St. Committee members are

2. Local Assistance Projects
As part of a local assistance task on the MPO work program, they have budgeted
$80,000 to work on projects as local assistance to the member localities (Frederick
County, Winchester, and Stephens City). The MPO Policy Committee determined that
an access management plan and a study of the issues at I -81/Route 1 I/Shady Elm should
be co-top priorities for that work item. The Policy Committee appointed a management
team made up of two individuals from the County, two from the City, and one from
VDOT to lead the procurement effort for this study. For the County, Supervisor Chuck
DeHaven and Transportation Planner John Bishop are serving on this Committee. On
September 14, 2006 that Committee had its first meeting and began the process of
creating work scopes for these two projects.
2. Article Distribution
Staff regularly monitors news outlets for transportation articles that may be of interest to the
committee and includes them in this portion of the agenda.
3. Other Business
Staff notified the committee ofthe Board's expressed desire for the committee to review the
ranking system for the hard surfacing of rural roadways. Staff will be bringing the item with
supporting information at the October 23, 2006 meeting.
4.(A.) Reaffirmation of Preferred Route 37 in the Vicinitv of Stonewall Industrial
Park

S upervisor Van Osten moved to approve the above appropriation. The motion was seconded
by Supervisor Fisher.
Supervisor Dove advised that he had trouble voting yes on this request. He cited the lower
than projected enrollment numbers and he believed the money saved by the reduced enrollment was
more than this requested amount. He concluded by saying that he could not support it.
Vice-Chairman Ewing stated that he had difficulty supporting this request as well and felt
it was unfair to allow the schools to carry-forward undesignated funds from the prior year when
other county departments did not have the same luxury.
Supervisor Lemieux agreed with Vice-Chairman Ewing.
Superintendent Patricia Taylor asked the Board for an opportunity to respond. She then
asked School Finance Director Lisa Frye to clarify the reserve numbers.
Finance Director Frye stated that the Superintendent originally requested a budget based on
12,000 students. The School Board and the Board of Supervisors reduced the original proposed
budget. She went on to say that student enrollment is at 191 fewer students, but staff still had to be
hired, buses were still running, etc. She further advised that the school would be receiving $1
million less from the state this year. She concluded by saying that she did not feel the reduced
enrollment numbers equaled returned dollars.
There being no further discussion, the Board approved the above appropriation by the

WITH PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 39-A-39 IN THE BACK CREEK
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT. - APPROVED
Planning Technician Kevin Henry appeared before the Board regarding this itcm. He
advised that this was an application for a conditional use permit for a country general store. There
is one existing structure on the property which was previously used as a post office and a furniture
store. 11 parking spaces are required for this use. The applicant is being asked to establish a
drivcway on south Hayfield Road. Planning Technician Henry went on to say that the eastern most
driveway will be closed and the applicant has agreed to closing off this existing entrance. Staffis
suggesting that the applicant be allowed to keep the existing sign as long as the size remains the
same. An engineered site plan is required for this project. Planning Technician Hcnry advised that
this conditional use permit is an appropriate land use and meets the goals of the comprehensive plan.
The Planning Commission recommended approval ofthis application with the following conditions:
1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.
2. An cnginecred site plan shall be submitted to and approved by Frederick County prior
to business activities occurring on site. Parking lot standards and landscape consistent
with commercial zoning will be required.
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supcrvisors Rcgnlar Meeting of 10/11/06

3. One non-illuminated, free-standing business sign shall be allowed on the property; the
sign shall be limited to 25 square feet in area and not exceed ten feet in height. The
existing sign is of a permissible size until a new sign is created; at which time, the
existing sign would have to be removed.
4. Only one entrance onto Route 50 and Route 600 shall be permitted. The existing
easternmost entrance along Northwestern Pike (Route 50) shall be permanently closed.
5. No fuel sales will be permitted.
6. Any expansion or change of use will require a new conditional use permit.
7. Total structural area shall not exceed 2,600 square-feet.
He concluded by saying that the applicant was present to answer any questions the Board might
have.
Chairman Shickle referenced condition #4 and stated that it read as allowing only one
entrance instead of an entrance on Route 50 and Route 600. He asked that this language be clarified.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she would prefer that the applicant remove existing
shrubbery along the roadway due to maintenance and site distance concerns.
Planning Director Eric Lawrence suggested that if the Board were to approve the conditional
use permit then those concerns could be addressed at the site plan phase.
Ronald DeHaven, applicant, appeared before the Board and stated that his only problem
with what was proposed was the closing of the entrance on Route 50. He stated that he would like
to move that entrance closer to Route 600.
Lloyd Ingram, VDOT engineer, advised that VDOT did review the application and that once
a final site plan was submitted they would probably recommend that the applicant utilize curbing
rather than fencing along the property line. He went on to say that VDOT would deal with the
applicant's request concerning the entrance at the site plan stage. He advised that the applicant's
proposal was not safe.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
There were no public comments.
Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Van Osten, seconded by Supervisor Fisher, the Board
approved Conditional Use Permit #08-06 with the conditions listed, but changed condition #4 to read
"one entrance onto Route 50 and one entrance onto Route 600 shall be permitted."

Deputy Director of Planning & Development Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board
regarding this item. He advised this was a request to rezone 169 acres from RA (Rural Areas)
District to R4 (Residential Community) District. This property is located in the Shawnee
Magisterial District. Deputy Director Ruddy advised that a master development plan for this project,
Master Development Plan #09-05, must be approved as part of this rezoning application. The
proposed density for this project is 4.7 units per acre, with 128,500 square feet of commercial in the
core area. Only 20,000 square feet of commercial have been committed as part of phase II. The
development will be done in three phases with 325 dwelling units in Phase I, 275 dwelling unites
in Phase II, and 193 dwelling units in Phase III. The applicant will develop the fu114 lane portion
of Warrior Drive through the property along with construction of Parkins Mill Road from its
intersection with Warrior Drive to the limits of the property adjacent to Canter Estates. There is
proposed an 18 acre school site as well as five acres of public use land adjacent to property owned
by the Frederick County Sanitation Authority. Deputy Director Ruddy went on to say that since the
Planning Commission recommended approval of this application, the applicant has modified the
proffer statement to reflect the new development impact model and is providing 75% of the impacts
to schools. The applicant has addressed most of the items cited by staff. Deputy Director Ruddy
noted that the Board received a revised proffer statement this evening; however, it contained the
same date as the statement in the agenda packet. Deputy Director Ruddy cited issues with proffer
Minute Hook Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/11/06
142
versions 1 and 2, which were still outstanding. He stated that proffer 14.6 had been removed from
the newest proffer statement. He went on to note that no action would be required on the proposed
master development plan as approval of the rezoning would constitute approval of the master
development plan. Deputy Director Ruddy then reviewed the thrcc proposed R4 modifications for
this project:
Modification per Section 165-72 B (2) - several new housing types are proffered
including rear loading single family detached cluster housing types, single family
attached stacked flats, and single family attached back to back units.
Modification per Section 165-71 - The applicant is requesting more than 40% ofthe total
residential land area may be used for multifamily housing projects. This modification
would enable the master development plan to be developed as presented.
Modification per Section 165-62 D - The applicant is requesting an increase in the
overall gross density of the project from 4 units per acre to 4.7 units per acre.
Deputy Director Ruddy advised that these items must be dealt with prior to acting on the rezoning
application. He concluded by saying that the Planning Commission recommended approval of this
application.
Supervisor Van Osten noted the Frederick-Winchester Service Authority's comments
regarding thc Parkins Mill expansion. She asked ifthere were any triggers in place to make sure this
project and plant expansion coincide.
Deputy Director responded that no triggers were in place in the proffer statement to insure
that.
Supervisor Van Osten asked Deputy Director Ruddy ifhe was satisfied that the connectivity
issues had been addressed.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that he believed they had been addressed.
Supervisor Van Osten asked if the five acres proposed for public use were fairly steep.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that it was steep and the use of the land would have to be
evaluated.
Vice-Chairman Ewing asked if the School Board had signed off on the acreage for the
proposed school site.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded yes and stated the School Board had worked very closely
on this project.
Assistant Superintendent for Administration Al Orndorff advised that the School Board had
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/11/06

reviewed the site for the school, but were concerned about the steep banks. He went on to say that
a 644 student capacity school could be accommodated on this site.
Supervisor Fisher asked how much of the proposed acreage was developable.
Assistant Superintendent Orndorff responded that it would accommodate a building pad.
Supervisor Fisher stated that it looked to be less than 18 acres.
Assistant Superintendent Orndorff responded that it was less.
Supervisor Fisher cited proffer 14.7.1, which stated that all school traffic would go through
Canter Estates.
Deputy Director Ruddy noted that the exception to that was the traffic from the Artip
development.
Supervisor Van Osten asked about the round about.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that the proffer is written that if the round about is not
appropriate then the applicant would install signalization.
Chairman Shickle asked if staff was able to resolve the bridge issue.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that it had been resolved.
John Foote, Attorney, appeared before the Board on behalf ofthe applicant. He stated that
he appreciated Deputy Director's Ruddy's efforts and work on this application. He said some
changes were made after the Board's agenda was sent out because the applicant wanted to make sure
they took care of the issues brought up by staff. Mr. Foote stated that the Sanitation Authority
property has always been proposed as the construction access to the property. The applicant will
match Warrior Drive in Wakeland Manor as well as extend the trail system. Mr. Foote addressed
the issues with access to the school and stated that it would depend on variables the applicant did
not control. He advised that Parkins Mill Road and the bridge would be built before the residential
portion of the property. With regard to concerns about water and sewcr availability, Mr. Foote
advised that those issues were self regulating. He went on to say that 15 acres of the school site
were buildable and the site would accommodate recreation fields. With regard to the five acres of
property dedicated for public use, Mr. Foote adviscd that three acres were usable. He concluded by
saying that there would be no connection to Canter Estates until the Board of Supervisors approves
a connection.

Chairman Shickle advised Mr. Foote that one of the biggest problems with the revised
proffer statement was that the Board did not receive it until that evening and did not have an
opportunity to read it. He stated that someone needed to walk the Board through the revisions to
ensure that everyone knew what had been made.
Mr. Foote referred the Board to his letter to Deputy Director Ruddy, whieh summarized the
applicant's changes to the proffer statement. He then reviewed each ehange with the Board:
1.2.1 The wording was changed from "net leaseable space" to "net useable square feet".
3.1.5 The community civic center and pool have not been designed yet, therefore, it was
not possible for the applicant to clarify the minimum design standards for this
facility.
3.1.5 The timing for the design and bonding for the community civic eenter and pool was
changed from the 601 st building permit to the 325th building permit.
4.1.4 The applicant divided the roofing and additional materials into two separate
paragraphs identified as proffer 4.1.4 (roof) and 4.1.5 (additional materials).
7.2 The language was clarified to read "The Applieant shall extend sewer and water lines
to the boundary of the property to be dedicated for school purposes when sewer and
water lines are constructed to the Core Area."
7.6 The language in this paragraph was clarified regarding the subdividing of the
property for the proposed school site.
14.3.3 This proffer states there will be no connection to Canter Estates Section V until the
County directs that such a connection be made.
14.6.1 The applieant shall complete the remainder of Warrior Drive from Point D to Point
E as a full section of a four lane divided roadway to Crosspointe, by the issuance of
the 601 st building permit. (Mr. Foote noted during the discussion that this connection
would not occur ifthe location of the connection to Crosspointe is not determined.)
14.6.2 The language was modified to permit any form of bonding allowed under Virginia
law.
14.9 The language was changed to provide for the construction of a trail section
throughout the property, to be extended to the property boundaries ofCrossepointe
and into Wakeland Manor.
14.10 The applicant shall extend a pedestrian trail on the south side of Parkins Mill
extended.
14.16 This proffer would allow the applicant to construct a two-lane gravel access road
across the property owned by the Frederick County Sanitation Authority for
construction access. The proffer states the County would not object to this grant of
permission and would provide a good faith effort to get permission for the applicant,
if necessary. This proposed construction entrance would be used as an emergency
access to the site.
16 The applicant shall be entitled to receive credit for commercial development should
the County modify the fiscal impact model, so as to provide credit for the
Minute Book Number 32

146
development of commercial space.
Mr. Foote stated the proffers could change during the public hearing, if the changes were not
material. He went on to say that proffer 16 is not a critical proffer. He stated the comprehensive
sign plan had not changed and the language in the proffers concerning signals and intersections had
been changed to reflect VDOT's concerns.
Vice-Chairman Ewing asked who would maintain the Artrip cemetery.
Mr. Foote responded that the Homeowners Association would take care of it as part of the
common open space.
Deputy Director Ruddy advised that those were all of the changes to the proffer statement.
Chairman Shickle asked what was left that had been raised as an issue or concern.
Deputy Director Ruddy stated the final issue was the development impact model proffer.
He went on to say that the two biggest concerns had been addressed.
Supervisor Dove stated that he did not want proffer #16.
Supervisor Van Osten agreed that proffer #16 was not needed.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
There were no public comments.
Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Fisher stated that he wanted to discuss proffer 14.7.1 regarding the access
connection to the school site through Canter Estates. He felt there was not a need to run school
traffic through an existing development and he was looking for help from the other board members.
Mr. Foote stated that no connection would be made to Canter Estates until the Board of
Supervisors determined it was necessary.
Chairman Shickle asked if a connection to Canter Estates would have to be constructed if
the school was built before the rest of the development.
Mr. Foote responded yes.
Supervisor Fisher asked if the applicant needed proffer 14.7.1.
Mr. Foote responded that the applicant did not want any of proffer 14.7, but it was provided
to address the prospect of a scenario that might occur. He stated that this proffer is not critical to
the applicant.
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 10/11/06
147
Deputy Director Ruddy suggested adding languagc to addrcss thc blocking of acccss to
Canter Estates in the event development is occurring from the northern part of the property.
Mr. Foote suggested striking the languagc after Point E to Point C and inscrt thc languagc
from proffer 14.3.3 regarding the blocking of vehicular access.
Supervisor Fisher stated that if the connection was made and the language in 14.3.3 was
included in 14.7 then that was good enough for him.
Supervisor Lemieux stated that he had issues with proffer number 16. He stated that he also
had issucs with thc ncw proffcr statcmcnt bcing prcscntcd that cvcning and hc did not think it was
fair that the applicant did not give the Board time to read and digest the new proffers. He concluded
by saying that bringing a proffer statement in at the last hour was unacceptable.
Mr. Foote stated that should the Board defer this application the applicant could make the
changes to the proffer statement that were spoken of this evening.
Vice-Chairman Ewing asked about the entrance into the Sanitation Authority's property.
He was concerned the traffic might impact another subdivision such as Lakeside.
Mr. Footc statcd that the applicant had held discussions with Mr. Glaize and Mr. Carr about
coming into the development from the north, but the applicant could not commit to that route.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Fisher, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board postponed
Rezoning #12-05 and MDP #09-05 until the November 8, 2006 meeting and requested two
modifications to the proffer statement to include the revision of proffer 14.7.1 to include the
language in 14.3.3 rcgarding the blocking ofthe access to Canter Estates and the removal of proffer
16.
