PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE — SALARIES OF THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS — PURSUANT TO SECTION 15.2- 1414.3 OF THE CODE OF
VIRGINIA, 1950, AS AMENDED, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL HOLD
A PUBLIC HEARING TO FIX THE ANNUAL SALARIES OF THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS AS FOLLOWS: CHAIRMAN $15,000; VICE- CHAIRMAN
$13,500; AND EACH OTHER MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
AT $10,000. — APPROVED KEEPING CURRENT SALARIES
Administrator Riley advised, pursuant to Section 15.2 - 1414.3 of the Code of Virginia,
1950, as amended, each year the Board conducts a hearing to fix the annual salaries of the Board
of Supervisors members. This year staff proposed the following increase in the Board's salaries:
Current Proposed
Chairman $10,800 $15,000
Vice - Chairman $10,200 $13,500
Minute Book Number 38
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05/08113
353
Other Members $9,000 $10,000
He noted the Board's salaries have not been increased since May 2001. The proposed increase is
comparable to like sized jurisdictions and is on par with Rockingham County.
Chairman Shickle spoke about then need to consider this issue and went on to say the
Board needed to engage in some dialogue about this item, not just for the current board, but for
future boards.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
John Wright, Red Bud District, stated he was struck by the high percentage of the
proposed increase (i.e. chairman 38 %, vice - chairman 31 %, and board members 11 %). He
thanked the board for their service to the county and the citizens, but asked them to take a step
back and think about the perception in the eyes of the taxpayers, voters, and employees. He cited
a number of negative comments he had heard regarding the proposed salary increase. He went
on to say if he had the ability to raise his own salary he would consider it. He suggested sending
the pay raise issue to the voters as a referendum. He concluded by thanking the Board for their
service.
Bill Dodson, Opequon District, stated he was the former chairman and vice - chairman of
the Frederick County Democratic Party and he had the chance to work with most of the board
members on various issues. He went on to say he had a pretty good idea of what the job entailed
and the members usually put in about 15 to 20 hours per week, which equated to about $9.00 per
hour, which was not a lot for all that the board members do. He concluded by saying he had no
problem if the board members wanted to raise their salaries because they were the executives of
this county.
Isaiah Kahle, Stonewall District, stated he agreed with the other speakers that the board
members put in an extended amount of time in their service. He noted the same goes for the
employees of Frederick County, including the public safety employees. He noted that
firefighters work 2,600 hours /year and have received no pay raises over the past few years. He
went on to say he was not opposed to the Board receiving a pay increase, but felt it should be
equivalent to other employees.
There being no further comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Vice- Chairman Ewing stated he would be leaving the Board soon and would not realize
any benefits of the higher salary. He went on to say the proposed increase equated to about 1.1 %
Minute Book Number 38
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05/08/13
3541
per year, which is about 2.5% lower than county employees received over the same period. He
stated it was time some increased compensation be considered.
Vice - Chairman Ewing moved to approve the salary increase as presented.
The motion died due to the lack of a second.
Supervisor Fisher moved to keep the current salaries in place. The motion was seconded
by Supervisor Hess.
BE IT ORDAINED, the annual salary for each member of the Frederick County Board
of Supervisors, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, shall be as follows: Chairman,
$10,800; Vice Chairman, $10,200; and each other member of the Board of Supervisors at
$9,000.
Supervisor DeHaven stated this was a difficult position, but it was something worth
thinking about. He stated the salaries should be kept equitable to cover expenses and the time
invested so people can serve without a financial investment of their own.
Supervisor Lofton agreed with Vice - Chairman Ewing's comments. He noted county
employees received salary increases and receive benefits. He went on to say a lot of time and
travel goes into attending meetings, etc. He did not think the proposed salaries were out of line.
He agreed with Supervisor DeHaven's comments. There were others who would like to serve,
but might not have the wherewithal to deal with the required time and other expenses. He
concluded by saying this was not the year to do it, but believed the proposal does have some
benefit.
There being no further discussion, the motion to keep the current salaries 'was approved
by the following recorded vote:

OTHER PLANNING ITEMS
DISCUSSION — COMPREHENSIVE POLICY PLAN AMENDMENT CPPA --
MIDDLETOWN/LORD FAIRFAX COMMUNITY COLLEGE SEWER AND
WATER SERVICE ARES (SWSA) FUTURE EXPANSION AREA. — SENT
FORWARD FOR PUBLIC HEARING AS MODIFIED
Deputy Planning Director Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this item.
He advised this was a proposal to change the land use designation of the area to the north of Lord
Fairfax Community College to OM. This designation would permit rezoning requests to allow
other business development land uses aimed at supporting the college. The proposal would also
look at expansion of the sewer and water service area to support these proposed new uses.
Deputy Director Ruddy noted neither the Planning Commission or the Comprehensive Policies
and Plans Committee addressed the sewer and water service area expansion. He advised,
currently, water would be provided by the City of 'Winchester and sewer service would be
provided by the Town of Middletown. He concluded by saying the applicant would like to see
the sewer and water service area expanded and staff is seeking direction from the Board of
Supervisors.
Supervisor DeHaven asked about capacity to serve the site.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded that the Frederick County Sanitation Authority has no
desire to service this area at this time. He went on to say the Town of Middletown would
provide sewer service and the City of Winchester would provide water service. He noted those
two entities would have to ensure they have the capacities in place to accommodate any future
development.
Chairman Shickle asked if forward movement of the application would preclude the
Frederick County Sanitation Authority from getting involved.
Minute Book Number 38
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05/08113
358
Deputy Director Ruddy responded yes, prior expansions have resulted in the Sanitation
Authority stepping aside to allow Middletown and Winchester to serve.
Supervisor Lofton asked if the establishment of the sewer and water service area
determined the provider of services or could the provider change?
Deputy Director Ruddy responded the Frederick County Sanitation Authority is the
primarily responsible to provide services in Frederick County; however, the proposed plan
recognizes that they did not want to provide service at this time. He went on to say, in the future,
the sanitation authority would have the ability to "step up" with the Board's direction.
Supervisor DeHaven stated this would beg the question of ownership of the facilities
moving forward.
Supervisor Lofton asked what the most intense industrial use could be in the UM District.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded the designation would allow high tech manufacturing
uses.
Evan Wyatt, Greenway Engineering, appeared before the Board on behalf of the
applicant. He noted there had been dialogue with Lord Fairfax Community College to deal with
services and opportunities for the college. He went on to say the applicant had reached out to
both the city and the town and they are willing to provide water and sewer service to the
property. He noted the concepts discussed at Lord. Fairfax included small office or
manufacturing that would help their STEM program. He noted there was a scale issue that
needed to be talked about because they do not want a Fort Collier type use on the property.
Supervisor Lofton asked when the Board would get to weigh in on this aspect.
Mr. Wyatt responded that would occur during the rezoning process. He went on to say it
would be prudent to add a statement to the plan text about the scale being compatible with
surrounding land uses.
Chairman Shickle asked staff for the Board's options.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded the Board could include the sewer and water service
area expansion around the property or they could forward the proposal to public hearing without
the sewer and water service area proposal and just recognize the proposed land uses.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Lofton, seconded by Supervisor Hess, the Board approved
sending the CPPA, Middletown/Lord Fairfax SWSA — Future Expansion Area forward for public
hearing with the modifications to include the addition of the sewer and water service area and
Minute Book Number 38
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05/08/13
359
additional language pertaining to the scale of development.
Supervisor Fisher stated there were too many ambiguities with this proposal. He went on
to say there were too many questions and he could not support the proposal at this time. He
concluded by saying he was not comfortable putting another piece of property in the sewer and
water service area.
Supervisor Lofton stated he did not totally disagree with Supervisor Fisher. He went on
to say the Sanitation Authority has no desire to serve this area now or in the near future, but the
development would support the mission of Lord Fairfax Community College.
Supervisor DeHaven stated that, philosophically, he supported this proposal. He went on
to say he supports the discussion of scale happening in this process.
Deputy Director Ruddy advised staff could include language as this amendment is
brought forward. He went on to say the Comprehensive Plan was the first place to make the
scale issue clear.
Supervisor Lofton asked the discussion be included in the public hearing.
Supervisor Fisher stated the Board needs to create a desire on the part of the Sanitation
Authority to serve these areas.

NORTHEAST LAND USE PLAN UPDATE — LIGHT PROPERTY SEWER AND

SCHEDULE WORK SESSION WITH FRE DERICK COUNTY SANITATION
AUTHORITY
Deputy Planning Director Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this item.
He advised the Board directed staff to undertake a sewer and water service area expansion study
to evaluate land in the vicinity of the Light Property near the intersection of Woodbine and
Woodside Roads in the Stonewall Magisterial District. He noted the site would be designated for
future business development. The proposal would modify the sewer and water service area with
individual land use designations.. The proposed expansion would contain approximately 530
Minute Book Dumber 38
Board of supervisors Regular Meeting of 05108113
acres. The proposal would modify pages of the Northeast Land Use Plan. There would be no
other changes outside of the specified area. He concluded by saying staff was seeking
recommendation from the Board regarding whether to move this amendment forward for public
hearing.
Supervisor DeHaven asked about the developmentally sensitive area in the sewer and
water service area.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded the developmentally sensitive area serves as the
boundary between industrial development and the rural areas.
Supervisor DeHaven asked if there had been any discussion regarding active recreational
uses on the property.
Deputy Director Ruddy responded no.
Supervisor DeHaven advised he would like to see more discussion regarding the
Frederick County Sanitation Authority's ability to serve the additional 530 acres and the existing
sewer and water service area. He went on to say he would like to have that discussion before this
item goes to public hearing. He would like to see the results of these discussions comeback
before the Board before going to public hearing.
Deputy Director Ruddy advised staff could complete that task and get back with the
Board. He went on to say staff would engage the Sanitation Authority and thoroughly find the
answers Supervisor DeHaven was seeking.
Chairman Shickle stated he would like to have the Sanitation Authority here to talk about
these issues.
Planning Director Eric Lawrence advised staff would arrange a work session with the
Board and the Sanitation Authority.
DISCUSSION -- ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO ENTRANCE
SPACING. — (RESOLUTION 9053 -13) - SENT FORWARD FOR PUBLIC
HIP AD TIVC—
Senior Planner Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She
advised this was a proposed update to the motor vehicle access requirements, specifically the
entrance spacing requirements. The current standards are in conflict with VDOT's minimum
entrance spacing requirements and the standards do not specifically address residential
driveways on arterial or collector roadways. The Planning Commission discussed this item at its
March 20, 2013 meeting and recommended approval.
Minute Book Number 38
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05/08/13
361
Chairman Shickle asked how much of a burden this proposal put on the first person in a
development.
Deputy Planning Director — Transportation John Bishop appeared before the Board. He
advised the County typically does not ask the first person in to build the connectors, but we ask
the site be planned so there is no proliferation of entrances.
Supervisor DeHaven stated this was a difficult issue to deal with. He went on to say this
was an approach that has potential to work, but has some sticking points. He concluded by
saying the ordinance should not be in conflict with VDOT.
Deputy Director Bishop advised the changes were not driven by VDOT, but was our
method of making the ordinance come closer to VDOT's standards.
Supervisor Lofton asked if it would be easier to draw out the VDOT standards in our
ordinance and just make reference to current policies.
Deputy Director Bishop responded that was a viable solution, but it would be incumbent
upon staff and the Transportation Committee to monitor the standards.
Supervisor Hess cited page 1, section A 2 and asked if a comma was needed after the
second onto or should one of them be deleted.
Senior Planner Perkins responded the ordinance was meant to read as it is currently
IM-0 �:N
Supervisor Hess asked about page 2, item 5, which references the measurement in feet
from centerline to centerline versus tangent line of the curb.
Deputy Director Bishop responded that both methods were acceptable. He noted the
tangent would be more exacting. He suggested the Board could choose one or the other.
Chairman Shickle asked how significant the change on page 3, section A 8 would be.
Deputy Director Bishop responded the change would be pretty significant.
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Collins, the Board
directed the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing regarding Chapter 165 Zoning,
Article II Supplementary Use Regulations; Parking; Buffers; and Regulations for Specific Uses,
Part 202 Off -Street Parking, Loading and Access, 165- 202.03 Motor Vehicle Access.
WHEREAS, the Frederick County Planning Department has been directed to update the
motor vehicle access requirements, specifically the entrance spacing requirements.
WHEREAS, the Development Review and Regulations Committee (DRRC)
recommended this item be forwarded to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors; and
Minute Book Number 38
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 05108/13
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission discussed the proposed changes at their regularly

necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice, directs the Frederick County
Planning Commission hold a public hearing regarding an amendment to Chapter 165 to update
the motor vehicle access requirements, specifically the entrance spacing requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT REQUESTED by the Frederick County Board of
Supervisors that the Frederick County Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing to
consider changes to update the motor vehicle access requirements, specifically the entrance
spacing requirements.

Business Friendly Committee. They discussed the finalization of the report and will report out to

CITIZENS COMMENTS
Dody Stottlemyer, Shawnee District, spoke regarding the proposed new Frederick
County office building. She felt it was disingenuous to say this was a great plan to go on since
the information was proprietary. She asked if the information regarding the proposal would be
made available within 45 days. She noted there were a lot of caveats and ifs surrounding the
proposal. She asked what would happen to the $1.6 million owed on the existing building. She
concluded by saying the taxpayers would end up footing the bill for this building, but she did not
feel the taxpayers would benefit.
