Deputy Director Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this item. He advised this
was a proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for the Middletown/LFCC SWSA
expansion. He noted the original expansion was approved several years ago. This particular
proposal encompassed approximately 100 acres with a proposed OM designation for business
development land uses. The property is adjacent to Middletown Elementary School and north of
Lord Fairfax Community College. Deputy Director Ruddy advised that part of the Board's
discussions centered on who would be responsible to provide water and services service to this

area. It was the Board's desire that the Frederick County Sanitation Authority provide services
to those properties located within the Sewer and Water Service Area.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
David Griffin, Town Attorney for the Town of Middletown, requested the Board not
expand the Frederick County Sanitation Authority's water and sewer area. He thought this was
bad planning to da that. He went on to say the Town had built and expanded their existing
wastewater treatment plant and part of that additional capacity was built with the understanding
that the Town would serve this area. He concluded by saying this proposed change was not a
good plan.
Charles Harbaugh, IV, Mayor of Middletown, read the following letter on behalf of Mr.
Robbie and Amy Molden, who could not attend the meeting due to prior vacation plans. The
letter cited the 254 acres of developable land in the Reliance Road area plan and the creation of
local construction and long term jabs should these properties be allowed to develop. The
proposal to have the Frederick County Sanitation Authority provide water and sewer to these
properties is costly and pushes the development timeline firrkher out. The Town of Middletown
has extra capacity and could benefit from this customer base. They asked that the County and
the Town work together to reach an agreement where the Town could benefit from the new
customers and the County would benefit from the additional tax revenue. Mayor Harbaugh went
on to say the Town wanted to be a partner with this project, as it benefits both the Town and the
County.
Donald Riffey, Director of Public Works for the Town of Middletown, advised the Tawn
was already providing water and sewer service in that area, specifically to Middletown
Elementary School, Lord Fairfax Community College, and the Exxon station.
There being no further public comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Lofton stated he thought the sanitation authority would partner with the town
to provide water and sewer service. He encouraged FSCA to work towards this partnership with
the town.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Lofton, seconded by Supervisor Wells, the Board approved
the resolution to adopt an amendrnent to Appendix I of the 2430 Comprehensive Plan
Middletown/Lord Fairfax Sewer and Water Service Area.

Deputy Planning Director Michael Ruddy appeared before the Board regarding this item
He advised this was a request to amend the sewer and water service area. The requested
amendment followed prior discussions. The Board received letters from Middletown Properties,
LLC and Molden expressing interest in being served by water and sewer. The proposed area
followed the Reliance Road Land Use Study. He noted the proposed text supports the expansion
of the sewer and water service area. He noted the Board might want to determine the area of
expansion and stated the area could be reduced, if desired. The Planning Commission
recommended approval of this request. He concluded by saying the sanitation authority has the
responsibility for providing water and sewer service to the properties in the SWSA either by
agreement or with infrastructure development. He concluded by saying the Planning
Commission recommended approval, but recognized the need far the dialogue between the
Board of Supervisors and the Town of Middletown to continue.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
David Griffin, Town Attorney for the Town of Middletown, stated the Town strongly
opposed this proposed amendment io the Comprehensive Plan. He went onto say this was a bad
amendment and a bad policy and it did not promote public health or welfare. He stated the
Frederick County Sanitation Authority does not have plans or the infrastructure to provide
service to these properties. He advised the Town of Middletown has the infrastructure and
capacity to service this area. He stated this proposal undermines years of work with this board.
He went on to say the Town was led to believe they would be working with the Board on a
boundary line adjustment. He concluded by urging the Board not to approve this proposed
amendment.
Tom Simon, Middletown town council member, stated his opposition to the proposed
amendment based on the current wording.
John Copeland, Middletown Vice Mayor, urged the Board to continue working with
Middletown regarding the future of this area.
There being no further comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Supezvisor Wells stated he had been consternating with this for the last couple of months.

He hoped there would be a mutual agreement between the County and the Town. He went on to
say he would like to have the Town agree to serve this property for 10 to 1 S years with the
Sanitation Authority to take over the provision of service at that time. He concluded by saying
he would like to see this land developed for the tax bases of both Middletown and Frederick
County.
