CITIZEN COMMENTS

voltage power line. He stated there were five route proposals and the northernmost proposal would
cross his property and it could impact his business.

favor of the line. He went on to ask if the Board wanted to devalue anyone's property. He

value.
Elizabeth Stern, New Market, Virginia, representing the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields
Foundation, addressed the Board regarding the proposed power line. She stated that the Foundation
was concerned about the impact ofthe proposed 500-kilovolt power line, as it would degrade the

of this proposal be fully studied. She concluded by saying the she was also concerned about
personal property issues associated with this proposal.

Supervisor Dove moved to approve the resolution regarding construction of the proposed 500
kilovolt transmission line with the last sentence to be changed to read "Be It Further Resolved that

line through Frederick County."

223
National Energy Policy Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. She also questioned the
need for additional power.

opposed to the line.

a problem with the resolution as written. He agreed with Supervisor Van Osten's suggestion to
remove the first whereas sentence.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Ewing, seconded by Supervisor Dove, the Board amended the
original motion to include the removal of the first whereas sentence.
Supervisor Fisher stated that he hopes this action does not give the impression that the Board
does not want to talk to Allegheny/Dominion in the future. He felt there was a need to have a
dialogue with the power companies.

have intelligent discussions with the Board and the Board should be prepared to demand that certain
things be done.

RED BUD MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT - APPROVED
Planner II Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this itcm. She advised this
was a request to rezone 3.25 acres from RA (Rural Areas) District to RP (Residential Performance)
District with proffers. The property is located on the north side ofScnseny Road. The proposed use
is 13 single family small lot homes. This proposal will establish the location of a road for future
rezonings. The applicant has proffered only necessary frontagc improvements. The applicant will
further provide a monetary contribution of$23,290.00 to the County for each platted residential lot.
Shc went on to say this proposal is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the
Planning Commission recommended approval.
Supervisor Dove asked how the monetary contribution was determined.
Planner II Perkins responded that it was calculated by the model.
Planning Director Eric Lawrence advised that this rezoning had been submitted under the
previous proffer model.
Evan Wyatt, Greenway Engineering, appeared before the Board on behalf of the applicant.
He stated the applicant had come a long way in addressing the concerns of staff and the Planning
Commission. He went on to say that the proffer tonight is significantly different than when the
project started. It includes a road system to the west and they have agreed to connect with Parkwood
Drive. The applicant will also build a new 12 foot travel lane along Senscny Road and will also
include a 10 foot bike path. Mr. Wyatt went on to say that the applicant has had discussions with
Supervisor Lemieux and has been asked ifthey would put the $1,000 per unit contribution back on

Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Joanne Leonardis, Red Bud District, asked ifthe people next to this proposed development
know what is coming and if this proposal would work if the adjoining property owners decide not
to sell their land. She went on to ask about thc long range transportation plan for Senseny Road.
She stated this proposal was close to Channing Drive and wanted to know how difficult it would be
to extend the bike path to where hundreds of people are at Parkwood Circlc. She concluded by
saying that the road proposal does not make sense to here.
Mary Brune, Red Bud District, stated her property was located directly behind the proposed
project. She questioned some of the items in the documents reviewed by the Board. She asked why
there were maps showing the property line to the north ofthe creek and other showing it to the south
of the creek. She went on to say that she had spoken with Ms. Perkins regarding the requirement
ofa 35-foot buffer on either side of the creek and she wantcd assurances of that.
There bcing no further comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Mr. Wyatt responded to the comments by saying that in the long range transportation plan,
Senseny Road will ultimately be a four-lane road. Hc stated the 35-foot riparian buffer would be
rcspected. With regard to possible drainage issues, Mr. Wyatt advised that the County Engineer had
reviewed the drainage plans for the site.
Supervisor Van Osten asked what would happen if the adjoining properties did not develop.
Mr. Wyatt responded that would be the property owner's prerogative, but this project would
set the stage should they decide to develop in the future.
Chairman Shickle stated that this looked to be a good example of a project robbing VDOT
dollars to care for private streets.
Supervisor Lemieux thanked the applicant for addressing his concerns.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Lemieux, seconded by Supervisor DeHaven, the Board
approved Rezoning #11-06 with acceptance of the verbal commitment of the devcloper to amend
