***Items Requiring Action***
1. PhotoRed Enforcement
Attached please find a summary of key questions and answers regarding the implementation of
red light cameras in Frederick County, as well as an example ordinance from the City of Fairfax.
The Committee has reviewed this issue for several months and has coordinated with the
Frederick County Sherriffs office. The Committee has recommended proceeding with the
program, with one opposing. Staff will be making a presentation on this issue for your
consideration.
Deputy Director of Planning -Transportation John Bishop appeared before the Board
regarding this item. He advised that based on VDOT's formula of 1 red light camera per 10,000
people, Frederick County would be entitled to seven cameras. He went on to say if the Board
wished to pursue PhotoRed Enforcement, the following actions must be taken:
1) The Code & Ordinance Committee should be directed to draft a PhotoRed
Enforcement ordinance; and
2) The Transportation Committee and the Sheriff's Department should develop a request
for proposals for the actual equipment.
Supervisor DeHaven noted, with the exception of one member, the Transportation
Committee forwarded the recommendation for the Board to proceed.
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board
voted to move forward with the development of a draft ordinance by the Code & Ordinance
Committee.
Supervisor Dove stated he had received a number of a-mails and phone calls from his
constituents opposing this issue; therefore, he could not support it.
Supervisor Ewing stated he would like to see this done on a trial basis, rather than
implementing all seven cameras at once.
Supervisor Lofton stated if this was the panacea it was touted to be then more localities
would be utilizing this technology. He concluded by saying he would not support it.

Senior Planner Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She
advised this was a request to rezone two parcels of land containing 1.34 acres from RP

pharmacy use. The property is located on Route 522 North and is within the Sewer and Water

Service Area and the Northeastern Land Use Plan. The ultimate access to the site will be one
entrance off of Westminster Canterbury Drive and aright-in/right-out on Route 522. The
applicant has proffered the closure of the existing Continental Restaurant entrance. Senior
Planner Perkins went on to say the Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 17,
2008 and recommended approval with the applicant to provide a signed agreement pertaining to
the Route 522 frontage improvements prior to consideration of this application by the Board.
She concluded by saying the applicant has provided a signed agreement.
John Lewis, Painter-Lewis, appeared before the Board on behalf of the applicant. He
advised that he had met with staff and members of the Public Works Department to address
drainage improvements. The applicant met extensively with VDOT regarding Route 522 and
Westbury Commons and the applicant has attempted to address the concerns of the Westbury
Commons residents. In addition, the applicant has proffered an all masonry building exterior
using all cast stone.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Deborah Strosnider, Stonewall District, spoke in opposition to this application. She
stated corporate America had come in and taken over and destroyed the small family businesses
in the area. She went on to say Oates Cash Grocery has been in business for 35 years and the
family has been a pillar of the community. She went on to say there was no need for a pharmacy
in that area and she urged the Board to say no to the rezoning.
Francis Unger, Opequon District and owner of the property, spoke in favor of the
rezoning and stated the project would be an asset to the community. She concluded by urging
the Board to vote yes.
Francis Unger Riggs, Shawnee District, spoke in favor of the proposed rezoning. She
advised that her mother has owned this property for over 50 years and in order for her to be able
to sell it the property must be rezoned. She went on to say that change is hard for everyone to
accept, but it must happen. She concluded by urging the Board to approve the rezoning.
Sheila Williams, Stonewall District, spoke against this application. She stated her parents
had been working in the store since 1974. She felt her parents had not been treated fairly and the
whole thing had gone "down in a bad way". She concluded by saying it was a shame CVS had
to come here and take out the little man.
Jonathan Adcock, Opequon District, echoed the first speaker's comments. He asked
Minute Book Number 34
Board or Supervisors Regular Meeting or 10/08/08
091
how many drug stores we needed on every corner.
Deborah Strosnider, Stonewall District, spoke again and stated if this rezoning was
approved there would be 8 pharmacies within five miles of one another. She requested the
Board vote no on this request.
Corey Martin, CVS employee, stated this was not a new store, but was replacing the
existing store in the adjacent shopping center.
There being no further comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
John Lewis responded on behalf of the applicant. He advised this transaction was
market driven. He stated that applicant was meeting the requirements of the Comprehensive
Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and felt it was a good fit.
Chairman Shickle asked about the traffic improvements and whether they would be
performed if they were approved by VDOT or if the project was built.
Senior Planner Perkins responded the improvements have been approved for construction
by VDOT.
With regard to the Generalized Development Plan, Chairman Shickle asked if the bike
trail would go away if the pharmacy is not built.
Senior Planner Perkins stated the proffers are tied to all improvements and the site must
be built with a pharmacy. She went on to say if the site remains unbuilt then the improvements
will not be completed.
Supervisor DeHaven stated some of the discussions going on in the community were
unfortunate, but the Oates family has been good friends, neighbors, and business folks. He went
on to say this application did meet the requirements of our ordinances.

DISCUSSION - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - AGE-RESTRICTED
MULTIFAMILY HOUSING AMENDMENT - (RESOLUTION #023-08) -SENT
FORWARD FOR PUBLIC HEARING
Senior Planner Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She
advised this request had been discussed on numerous occasions over the past two years. The
principal change to the ordinance would be the introduction of a new housing type in the RP
District called age-restricted multifamily housing in proffered age-restricted communities. She
went on to say the proposed ordinance was discussed at the August 5, 2008 joint work session of
the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission. The main issue was the proximity of
the building to adjacent residential uses. A waiver option to increase the height of the building
was discussed at the meeting. After the work session, the ordinance was revised to include a
waiver option for the building height. The Planning Commission was supportive of this
proposed amendment with the waiver option for height.
