CITIZEN COMMENTS
Gary R. Oates, Stonewall District, appeared before the Board on behalf of the Red Bud
Agricultural and Forcstal District. He asked the Board to vote on this distriet based on the merits
of the application. He concluded by saying if the Board did not vote then the petition would die.
Les Johns, Stonewall District, urged the Board to deny the Red Bud Agricultural and
Forestal District application because of Route 37. He stated that it would be prudent for the Board
to not grant zoning changes for parcels included in the agricultural district. He went on to say that
the Board put a road on his property and did not tell him.
John Chandler, Stonewall District, stated that he found out his front porch would be the
centcr line of Route 37 and he felt someone should have give him and others time to properly
prepare to address the Board. He concluded by saying that he was disappointed in thc way things
were done.
Ross Beck, Stonewall District, expressed his opposition to the Red Bud Agricultural and
Forestal District. He stated that Route 37 corridor C-XL was bent to avoid the Red Bud Agricultural
District and he felt the road could be moved a few hundred yards in order to miss existing houses
and keep it out of Woods Mill. He wcnt on to say that he should not have been the one to inform
his neighbors there was a road proposed to go through their houses. He urged the Board to exclude
the lots affected by CXL, which included lots 18, 19, 15, 16,and 17.
Glenn Penton, Stonewall District, stated that all of the residents in the Wood Mill area were
in an agricultural district because they were all surrounded by or had woods and fields. He went on
to say that the community finds itself split in half by a road that was never there. He stated the main
reason this agricultural district was created was to keep Route 37 off their lands. He asked that
Board to define the proposed corridor more clearly because the current selcction has many problems.

APPROVED
Minute Book Number 31
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 04/26/06
425
Transportation Planner John Bishop advised that VDOT would be conducting a public
hearing on Wednesday, May 3, 2006 regarding the 2007-2012 Six Year Improvement Program
Working Draft. The current Six Year Program has $25 million allocated for Frederick County;
however, the proposed draft contains only $19.5 million. The number of projects has also been
reduced from 21 to 16.
Supervisor Dove asked what the proposed resolution would do.
Transportation Planner Bishop responded that it would become part ofthe public comment
record. He also hoped to notify the County's Commonwealth Transportation Board member ofthis
reduction in funding.
Chairman Shickle asked that a cover letter be sent along with this request to highlight the two
points addressed: reconsideration of the Six Year Program and the request for a detailed statement
of what happened to the funding.
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board
adopted the resolution and directed that it be forwarded to VDOT with a cover letter.
WHEREAS, Frederick County has taken part in the long range planning process as required
by federal law; and
WHEREAS, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) provided to the County
projections of expected revenue based upon a State Revenue stream that has not been changed, and
a Federal Revenue stream that has increased since the date of the projections; and
WHEREAS, the County, in good faith, allocated those funds to transportation projects
within the area; and
WHEREAS, no portion of those funds projected for the years 2011 and 2012 via the
WinFred Metropolitan Planning Organization process ($2.07 M Secondary, $1.31 MPrimary, $3.38
M Interstate), or their associated transportation projects are reflected in the 2007-2012 Six Year
Improvement Program Working Draft; and
WHEREAS, ofthe $6.46 M allocated in the 2006-20 II Six Year Improvement Program to
the widening of Route 277, only $l. 73 M remains in the 2007 -2012 Six Year Improvemcnt Program
Working Draft and the scope has been reduced to "PE Only" when the County (via the WinFred
MPO) had determined to use the funding shown in the 2006-20 II Six Year Improvement Program
along with an additional $2]4,000 from the projected Primary Road funding for 2011 and 2012 to
complete that project through right-of-way acquisition; and
WHEREAS, in total these discrepancies lead to a net loss in transportation funding for
Frederick County of $ll.49 M; and
WHEREAS, projected funding provided by VDOT was already approximately 2-3% of
identified needs for the next 25 years.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, this Board requests reconsideration by VDOT
and the Commonwealth Transportation Board of the 2007-2012 Six Year Improvement Program
