property owners and the church.; and

RE UEST TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING RE: SALE OF GORE

Administrator Riley advised at the October 27, 2010 meeting of the Public Works
Committee, a closed session was held pursuant to Code of Virginia 2.2 -3711 A (3), acquisition
and disposition of real estate to discuss the disposition of county surplus property located next to
the Gore citizens' convenience site at 181 Back Creek Road and is identified by Tax I. D. 27 -A-
121. Said property consists of 1.1 acres, an 872 square foot single family dwelling, and several
outbuildings. Following certification of the closed session, the committee recommended that
staff make a counter offer in the amount of $30,000, in response to a purchase offer received
from Mr. Robert L. Sine. The Board of Supervisors' consensus, at their November 10, 2010
meeting, was to endorse the committee's recommendation. Since that time, staff has
communicated with Mr. Sine and an agreed to price of $30,000 has been reached. Contract
documents have also been executed. Staff is requesting the Board schedule a public hearing on
the sale of this surplus property at their January 12, 2011 meeting. This property will be sold as

COMMITTEE REPORTS
LAKE HOLIDAY DAM WORKING 4-
APPROVED UNDER CONSENT AGENDA
X
The LHSD Dam Working Committee met in the Public Works Department Conference
Room on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
No action is required.
1) Financing
An application of financing has been filed with the Virginia Resources Authority. The
VRA Credit Review committee will meet in early December to review the application and staff
analysis. We expect to hear something shortly after that meeting. The deadline for application
for the spring bond issuance is not until February, therefore there is still plenty of time to respond
to questions or requests for additional information from VRA; should there be any.
There are a number of factors which combine to make this project unusual from a
the
financing perspective, the Sanitary District financing and desired two tiered assessment assessment ] have n all l
County to offer its' moral backing, and the
mentioned as possible red flags.
Discussions with the County's financial advisors indicate should we fail to obtain
financing through the VRA, a no -rated bond issuance may be possible, although they caution that
the interest rate would need to be considerably higher in order to attract investors.
2) Temporary Access Road
Discussions with the land owner regarding an easement for a temporary access road to
Ebenezer Church Road are progressing. The access would be necessary to provide access to the
lots on the south side of the lake during the spillway construction. The necessary discussions
have been initiated with VDOT for approval. The County School System has also agreed to
work with us regarding bus transportation for children residing in this portion of the
development.
3) Spillway Design
The spillway design is scheduled to be 100% complete in December.

OTHER PLANNING ITEMS
DISCUSSION OF 2011 -2012 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN (CI — SENT
FORWARD FOR PUBLIC HEARING
Deputy Director Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this item. He
advised this was the discussion of the proposed 2011 -12 Capital Improvements Plan. The plan
has been endorsed by the Planning Commission and the Comprehensive Plans and Programs
Committee. There are 77 projects, which is more than prior years. Deputy Director Ruddy
noted a second table was prepared this year to reflect the groups' thoughts relative to funding,
etc. He concluded by saying staff was seeking endorsement of the projects, maps, and a decision
on which table to use.
Supervisor Lofton stated he would like to have the total cost, but wanted the table to
appear more realistic with regards to funding. He went on to say this was not yet where he
wanted things to be.
Supervisor DeHaven stated we need to recognize the CIP for what it is, a planning tool.
Chairman Shickle asked how far out the development impact model looked.
Director Lawrence advised it was a 20 year projection that looked at some CIP projects,
but not all projects. He went on to say that to expend proffered funds the projects must be
consistent with the CIP.
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Lofton, the Board

DISCUSSION OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — DEFINITION OF
PUBLIC BUILDINGS — (RESOLUTION #026 -10) - SENT FORWARD FOR
PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Director Eric Lawrence appeared before the Board regarding this item. He
advised staff was recently informed that the definition for "Public Buildings" needs to be
Minute Book Number 36
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 12/08/10
166
included in the Zoning Ordinance. He went on to say the term "Public Buildings" was
introduced in the Zoning Ordinance as a permitted use in the BI (Neighborhood Business), B2
(Business General), B3 (Industrial Transition), M1 (Light Industrial), M2 (Industrial General),
and MS (Medical Support) Zoning Districts with the adoption of the SIC (Standard Industrial
Classification) Manual which occurred in 1990. The placing of the term public buildings was in
the location where SIC Major Groups 91 -97 should have been. SIC Major Groups 91 -97
(Division J) is the Public Administration section and only include government institutions;
therefore, the public buildings use is only for state, local, and federal government uses.
Supervisor DeHaven asked if the SIC could have been included in the ordinance by
reference or by text.
Director Lawrence responded that we do not have SIC references in the ordinance.
Supervisor Collins stated he had a small problem with the terms "any area ". He asked if
the public use of one office or room in an entire building would make the entire building a public
building.
Director Lawrence responded that staff looks at the building's main use.
Supervisor Lofton stated he supported the proposal, but wondered if, in the definition, we
are "kicking the can" further down the road. He asked if we knew what public purposes were.
Director Lawrence responded that, from a zoning perspective, every property has a
primary and a secondary use. He noted that public building would be the only primary use on
the property.
County Attorney Roderick Williams stated he believed the term public purposes was
appropriate because the building would be owned, held, operated, or used by a government
entity.
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Lofton, the Board
approved the resolution directing the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing regarding
Chapter 165, Zoning, Article I — General Provisions, Amendments, and Conditional Use Permits;
Part 101 — General Provisions; 165- 101.02 — Definitions and Word Usage.
WHEREAS, the Frederick County Planning Department has been directed to prepare
modifications to Chapter 165, Zoning for inclusion of a definition for Public Buildings.
WHEREAS, the Frederick County Board of Supervisors finds that in the public
necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice, directs the Frederick County
Planning Commission hold a public hearing regarding an amendment to Chapter 165, Zoning for
revisions to the definition for Public Buildings.
