Deputy Planning Director Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this item. He
advised the Route 277 Study effort identified opportunities to create new communities, integrated
land use and transportation choices, addressed community infrastructure needs, and expanded the
County's goals for economic development. The study promotes five main areas of new land use
focus: the Route 277 Urban Center, Route 277 "Triangle, Center of Economy, Interstate Commercial
at 307, Neighborhood Commercial at White Oak Woods, and Tasker Woods. He went on to say the
community was engaged throughout this planning effort resulting in a high level of participation,
which was valuable to the overall study effort. He noted that many of the comments and issues
offered by the public were incorporated in the land use plan. He concluded by saying the Planning
Minute Book Number 34
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of US/13/08
042
Commission recommended approval of the Route 277 Triangle and Urban Center Land U se Plan and
amendment of the 2007 Comprehensive Policy Plan.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Carla Coffey, Arcadia Building Company, read the following statement:
"I offer thefollowing comments on the proposed amendment to the 2007 Comprehensive Policy Plan
before you this evening. Arcadia Development C'o. is the owner of Southern Kills Subdivision (PIN __._
65-A-116) and Pepper Lune, Monterey Road, LLC, and Pepper Lane Land Acquisition, LLC is the
owner of theCRSProperty(PIN86-A-156, 86-A-171, 86-A-177, 86-A-178, 86-A-178A, 87-A-1, and
86-A-IA). The following comments are provided on their behalf
1) Transportation - (p. 3)
a.) The study states access to the new South Frederick Parkway would be 1 invited to Town
Run Lane, Double Church Road, Warrior Drive, Hudson Hollow Road, and existing
Route 277 business at its new intersection with the parkway. As part of the rezoning for
the Southern Hills Subdivision which occurred in 2007 Arcadia proffered to dedicate
the right-of-wuyfor the future South Frederick Parkway; said dedication is conditioned
upon a minimum of two entrances be provided from the future road to serve the
commercial property and Arcadia is entitled to meaningfully participate in the design
of the road with regards to the location and design of the two entrances. This is a
condition of the proposed right-of--way dedication and was accepted by Frederick
County. Please make the necessary changes to reflect the two additional access points.
2) Route 277 Triangle & Urban Center Study Proposed Transportation & Trail Network -
DRAFT - (exhibit)
a.) The draft transportation network currently depicts a road connection from White Oak
Road to Route 277 through the CRS Property. The road connection indicated is not
,feasible do to the environmentally sensitive nature of this area. It does not appear
engineering constraints such as topography, steep slopes, wetlands, etc. were accounted
for in the draft transportation network.
Your consideration of the above comments is appreciated.
Sincerely,
ARCADIA BUILDING COMPANY"
Jonathan Hancock, Opequon District, advised the proposed parkway would go right
behind his house and he was opposed to this route. He further noted there was awetlands/drainage
pond behind his house and he was concerned how this proposal would affect drainage. He
concluded by saying there would be a need for two working interstate exits in this area in the future.
David Ritter, Opequon District, stated the proposed road would run through his property
and he was concerned because there had never been any communication with him about this
proposal. He concluded by saying he would like to get more information about this plan.
Joanne Leonardis, Red Bud District and a member of Preserve Frederick, stated
Minute Book Number 34
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 08!13/08
043
Preserve Frederick was initially taken aback by this proposal, but upon further review the group felt
it made a lot of sense. She noted the road networks have improved. She urged the Board to begin
thinking about how the best parts of this plan would be implemented. She concluded by saying
Preserve Frederick supported this plan.
There being no further public comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Dove stated it was his understanding the lines on the maps were generalized and
not exact locations of roads, etc.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded yes. He stated the plan is a guide for individual and future
property owners in the county. He went on to say many of these items would only occur when
owners look for new uses on their property.
Supervisor Ewing asked how the county could address the situation with the road entrances
mentioned by Arcadia.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded those issues could be addressed at the time the road is
built.
Chairman Shickle advised that he had met with the Chairman and Director of the Frederick
County Sanitation Authority and they were concerned about their ability to serve this area at build
out. He noted their particular concern was water. He went on to say it would behoove the Board to
periodically touch base with the Sanitation Authority regarding the supply of water.
Vice-Chairman Fisher stated this issue was discussed at the most recent Board work session
and some Board members wanted wording in the Northeast Land Use Plan section identifying issues
that could affect the timing of development.
Chairman Shickle asked if the Board had to expand the Urban Development Area and Sewer
and Water Service Area as part of this proposal.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that was a key component of the plan and it was being
done now to better aid in the implementation of the land use plan.
Supervisor DeHaven moved to adopt everything but the Urban Development Area and Sewer
and Water Service Area expansion portion of the plan and have staff reevaluate with the service
providers the proposed expansion of these boundaries.
The motion was seconded by Vice-Chairman Fisher.
Minute Book Number 34
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 08/13/08

Deputy Director Ruddy noted that the language on page 6 would need to be modified since
those boundaries were not changed.

during the public hearing and he would like to see them addressed before the Board votes.

RESOLUTION (#007-08) RE• HEALTH DEPARTMENT SEWAGE DISPOSAL
Minute Book Number 34
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting or08/13/U8
045
REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO RECENT SOIL DEPTH REVISION -
APPROVED
Administrator Riley advised the Health Department unilaterally implemented a regulation
change, which increased the drainfield depth from 12 inches to 18 inches. They have asked the
County to modify its 2005 action regarding conditional permits in order to allow the Health
Department the ability to grandfather those property owners who received approval prior to the
regulation change, but had yet to construct their system.
Director of Planning & Development Eric Lawrence stated in 2005 the Board directed the
Health Department not to implement conditional approvals for new construction with undersized
systems. The Health Department has since honored that request. The Health Department has
suggested if the Board allows conditional permits to be issued for systems that had originally
received approval at 12 inches then the Health Department would issue them only in those instances.
He concluded by saying the Health Department believed there were about 2,000 permits that would
be eligible for this approval.
Chairman Shickle was concerned the Board could be putting 2,000 people at risk of
constructing failing systems, if the conditional permits were approved.
Supervisor DeHaven stated the systems had already been approved at 12 inches and there
were now people out there with an executed certification from the Health Department, but they are
now being told it is no good and we have to try to address this issue.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Dove, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board approved
the resolution requesting Health Department cessation of conditional construction permit approvals
for new construction except in reference to soil distance parameters.
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Health regulations provide for
the issuance of Conditional Construction Permits, as defined in Section 2.13 J of the sewage
Handling and Disposal regulations, dated July 1, 2000; and,
WHEREAS, such regulations enable various conditions to be placed on an approved health
system, one of which includes the limitation on the number of persons occupying the dwelling or
using the facility served by the proposed septic tank system; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors passed by resolution on May 25, 2005, requesting
that the Virginia Department of Health cease to issue Conditional Construction Permits for new
construction within Frederick County, which Virginia Department of Health has continued to honor;
and,
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department Health on July 22, 2008, issued a policy clarification
Minute Book Number 34
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 08/13/08
046
that would enable health systems which previously received written health approvals based on
separation distances of 12 to 18 inch to impervious strata for shallow placed systems, to receive
construction permits through the conditional process; and,
WHEREAS, the County supports the use of the conditional approval in an effort to honor
previously approved health approvals for the impervious strata separation distances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that the Frederick County Board of Supervisors
does hereby request that the Virginia Department of Health continue to cease to issue Conditional
Construction Permits for new construction in Frederick County unless it is solely for the purpose of
grandfathering a previously written approval pertaining to separation distances to impervious strata
for shallow placed systems.
