Deputy Director of Transportation John Bishop appeared before the Board regarding this
item. He advised this was the annual exercise to update the Six Year Road Improvement
Program. There were no major changes and no additional projects. With regard to the Interstate

the Primary Road Plan, the South Frederick Parkway was added. With regard to the Secondary
Road Plan, there were some additions and deletions due to completion or county priorities. As
far as the Rural Hard surfacing there was no need to reprioritize projects this year due to a lack
of funding for new projects.
Supervisor Dove asked how often these rankings are changed.

done this year because none of the existing projects moved onto the scheduled list.

Deputy Director of Planning Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this
item. He advised that staff was seeking Board direction regarding this issue. He stated the
Frederick County Sanitation Authority has the ability to serve the proposed Route 277 Urban
Development Area and Sewer/Water Service Area expansion. The two items on which staff was
seeking Board direction dealt with:
1. Does the Board wish to expand the UDA/SWSA in support of the Route 227 Study?
2. If the Board does not wish to modify those boundaries, how does the Board wish to
dispose of CPPA #02-08, Lowe's of Stephens City?
Supervisor Dove stated he did not want to expand the UDA/SWSA boundaries. With
regard to the Lowe's application, he believed it should be taken through the process.
Supervisor DeHaven stated that he would like staff to look at a potential expansion that
did not encompass the entire study area. He suggested any place west of Hudson Hollow Road.
Vice-Chairman Fisher stated he liked the plan, but did not want an expansion of the
Minute Book Number 34

UDA/S WSA.

advised the Conservation Easement Authority was seeking Board of Supervisors support for use
of grant matching funds from Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to
purchase the development rights for an 89.75 acre parcel owned by the Snapp family. In
addition, approximately $3,000 of either County or Easement Authority funds would be used to
pay for legal documentation. He noted this was the first step in the process and no local funds
would be necessary to secure the property. He concluded by saying if the County did not wish to
provide the $3,000.00 for the preparation of legal documents then the Easement Authority would
pay for the paperwork.

property with the 2008 VADACS grant funds.
