COMMITTEE REPORTS
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT — APPROVED UNDER CONSENT
AGENDA
A meeting of the Public Works Committee was held on Tuesday, July 26, 2011, at 8:00
a.m. All members were present except Bob Wells and Chris Collins. The following items were
discussed:
** *Items Requiring Action * **
1. Regional Water Supply Plan and Proposed Drought Ordinance
NSVRC Natural Resources Program Manager, Ms. Jill Keihn, presented the regional
water supply plan for the Northern Shenandoah Valley with an emphasis on the impacts to
Frederick County. An executive summary of her presentation is attached. In addition to the
regional water supply plan, Candice Perkins, Department of Planning and Development,
presented a brief overview of a proposed drought ordinance which is required as a part of the
Minute Book Number 37
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 08/10/11
027
local and regional water supply planning. A copy of the draft ordinance is attached. At the
conclusion of the presentations and subsequent discussions, the committee recommended that the
regional water supply plan and draft ordinance be submitted to the Frederick County Sanitation
Authority for their review and approval prior to submittal to the Board of Supervisors. In the
interim, it was recommended that a work session be scheduled with the board to discuss the
contents and impacts of both documents prior to scheduling a public hearing. (Attachment 1 and
2)
** *Items Not Requiring Action * **
1. Discussion of Rural Road Requirements
In May 2011, the Board of Supervisors requested that the Public Works Committee
evaluate the existing standards applicable to rural subdivision roads. Acting on this request, the
Public Works staff, in conjunction with staff from Planning and Development, prepared a brief
overview of the current requirements which included a PowerPoint presentation of examples of
rural roads that have been built to current standards, as well as past practices. The latter varied
from "dirt" roads to asphalt pavement of varying widths. These presentations were intended to
generate discussion which could eventually lead to recommendations regarding how rural roads
will be addressed in the future. This topic will be placed on the next Public Works agenda to
general additional discussion and ideas. As food for thought, staff provided copies of the current
ordinance related to minor and major rural road requirements, as well as ideas related to how to
address rural roads in the future. Copies of these documents are included as Attachment 3.

4. Tiger Grants
Staff notified the Committee that there is another round of Tiger Grants available for
transportation. These are highly competitive federal funds which have led to large awards in the
successful localities. We notified the MPO of this opportunity and also make the following
recommendations.
1. Make application through the MPO (due to regional applications being scored higher)
for the following projects:
a. Route 37 with segments being prioritized to allow for potential awards for
segments if we are not successful with something larger,
Minute Book Number 37
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 08 /10 /11
) I 00
b. Russell 150 improvements, specifically the bridge and connections to Tevis
Street and Route 522.
2. That, due to the rigorous and highly competitive nature of this particular application,
a consultant be procured to aid in the application process.
The Committee was supportive of these recommendations. Staff would further note that it
would be worthwhile to encourage the MPO to expedite this process, particularly getting
the consultant on board as soon as possible.

adopted the Committee recommendation.

1. Back Mountain Road Speed Concerns
Staff advised the Committee that VDOT has been fielding complaints regarding unsafe
driving and high speeds on Back Mountain Road.
The Committee has authorized staff to coordinate with VDOT on the issue and
potentially return to request a speed study that could result in a speed limit reduction on that
roadway.
2. Route 277 Improvements Resolution
The Board was updated and acted on this item on July 27, 2011.
3. MPO Long Range Plan Update
Staff presented the draft Vision Plan project list to the Committee and requested that they
review the material and provide feedback. To date, no feedback has been received and the Board

DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — LOT SIZES AND
SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC UTILIT (RESO LUTION #011-
11 ) — APPROVED TO FORWARD TO PUBLIC HEARING
Senior Planner Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She
advised this proposed amendment would allow the zoning administrator to authorize the creation
of lots smaller than the current zoning district requirements for lots utilized for the sole purpose
of public utilities; the amendment also allows for the elimination of the on -site sewage disposal
requirement and reduces the access easement width requirement. The Development Review and
Regulations Committee endorsed the proposed amendment and the Planning Commission
recommended that it be forwarded to the Board for review. Staff is seeking direction from the
Board of Supervisors regarding whether or not to send this item forward for public hearing.
Supervisor Lofton asked if 15 feet was an adequate sized easement.
Senior Planner Perkins responded that the Development Review and Regulations
Committee felt 15 feet was adequate. She noted that it had originally started at 20 feet.
Supervisor Lorton noted the word "for" should be inserted in §165- 204.26 A (1) "...lots
used for public utility purposes."
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Lofton, the
approved the resolution directing the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing regardil

MEMORANDUM RE: PUMP & HAUL REQUEST FOR 2340 FRONT ROYAL
PIKE (PRESENTLY OWNED BY FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE
CORP.)-APPROVED
Senior Planner Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She
advised this was a request for a permanent pump and haul permit for 2340 Front Royal Pike.
She noted this property must comply with the criteria in Chapter 161. The Health Department
has determined the existing system cannot be repaired and there is not enough room on the site
for a replacement system. She concluded by saying a decision by the Board of Supervisors was
being requested.
Supervisor Fisher asked why an alternate system would not work.
Senior Planner Perkins responded that the Health Department determined that no
alternate systems could be accommodated on the property.
Minute Book Number 37
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 08/10/11
032
Chairman Shickle asked if connection to a public line was feasible.
Senior Planner Perkins responded if the property was within 300 feet of a public line it
would be required to connect; however, this property is 380 feet. She concluded by saying she
was not sure if the owner had looked into connecting.
Supervisor Lofton asked if the Board would have the ability to take the permit away in
the future if there was an opportunity to connect to public sewer.
Senior Planner Perkins responded it would be up to the owner's discretion at that time.
Amy White Stickel, Realtor, advised with the age and value of the property the value
was not there to justify a connection. The cost to connect to a public line would be $20,000.
The property is listed at $109,000. She noted the buyer had tried to go to through the church and
the homeowners' association to get access to the sewer; however, everyone would need to agree.
She concluded by saying if the permit is turned down the property will probably be made vacant.
Chairman Shickle asked what kind of disclosures had been given to the buyer.
Miss Stickel responded the only disclosure they have is from the company regarding the
number of times the tank will be pumped and the cost.
Supervisor DeHaven asked if the pump and haul agreement signed by the current owner
would transfer successively to the new owners.
County Attorney Rod Williams suggested the agreement could be recorded in the land
records in an effort to make it more binding.
Supervisor DeHaven stated we have a requirement of a permit; however, one party will
not be around. He did not think this seemed to be a perfect solution. He went on to say if sewer
becomes economically available does the board have the authority to go back and require a
connection? As the ordinance is currently written, we do not. He stated the ordinance needed to
be reviewed in this regard. Supervisor DeHaven expressed his concern about the number of
pump and haul permits in Frederick County. He went on to say we need to get a handle on these.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Fisher, seconded by Supervisor Collins, the Board
approved the pump and haul permit for 2340 Front Royal Pike.

MEMORANDUM RE: PUMP & HAUL REOUEST FOR 220 LUCAS LANE,
GORE, PROPERTY OWNED BY TIMOTHY DOOLAN - APPROVED
Senior Planner Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She
advised this was a request for a pump and haul permit for 220 Lucas Lane, Gore, Virginia. She
advised the existing system was not functional and could not be repaired. The applicant is
seeking a decision from the Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Lofton stated the applicant had contacted him and asked that this item be
placed on the agenda this evening. He went on to say this appears to be a matter of timing and
the applicant has a sales contract pending. He advised the timing of the sales contract with the
next board meeting did not work. He noted the property is not located in the Sewer and Water
Service Area and the Health Department says there is no other option.
Chairman Shickle asked if the Health Department could be questioned about why an
alternate system was not suitable for this site. He noted the determination surprised him.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Lofton, seconded by Supervisor DeHaven, the Board
approved the pump and haul permit request for 220 Lucas Lane, Gore, Virginia.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
Supervisor Fisher stated he was not satisfied with the Health Department answers. He

along any information received to the Board. He concluded by saying he would like to know if
