RESOLUTION (#013-01) FROM NORTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY
REGIONAL COMMISSION RE: PROPOSED ADDITION OF 5-COUNTY REGION
TO THE APPALACHIAN REGIONAL COMMISSION - APPROVED
This request was originally scheduled for approval under the consent agenda; however,
Chairman Shickle advised that he had some questions.
Stephen Kerr, Executive Director of Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission,
appeared before the Board to provide additional information and answer any questions the Board
might have. He advised that originally, our 5-county region was eligible to be included in the ARC
when it was first created in 1965; however, the counties "opted out" from participating in the
program. Since then, the ARC has provided a substantial amount of funding to the participating
local governments over the years. This assistance has helped local governments improve their
infrastructure, spur economic development, increase jobs, etc. In addition, a significant amount of
funding has also been provided to the local development districts (agencies like the regional
commission) for planning and support ofthe program. He further advised the Board that the purpose
of providing them this information is to learn oftheir interest in the proposal. He further advised
that all the counties, with the exception of Clarke, have endorsed the program. Page County had to
cancel their meeting; therefore, their decision will not be available until next month.
Supervisor Reyes inquired as to how the county would benefit from this program.
Mr. Kerr explained this program varies, but felt there were benefits for the county.
Supervisor Sager moved to approve the following resolution with Supervisor Douglas

wondered about the downside
Mr. Kerr replied that he was not aware of any.
WHEREAS, a proposal has been made by the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional
Commission to request the addition of the five-county region to the Appalachian Regional
Commission (ARC); and
WHEREAS, Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Page, and Shenandoah Counties, as well as the City
of Winchester, were originally eligible to be included in the ARC when it was first created in 1965;
and
WHEREAS, the region decided to "opt out" ofthe ARC when it was first being created; and
WHEREAS, the ARC has provided a substantial amount of funding to the participating local
governments over the years and this assistance has helped local governments improve their
infrastructure, spur economic development, and increase jobs; and
WHEREAS, in order for the region to be added back into the ARC, an Act of the United
States Congress is required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the County of Frederick, Virginia, as a

STATEWIDE BUILDING CODE - DENIED
Director Wyatt presented this proposed amendment to the Board. He advised that recently
the Uniform Statewide Building Code was amended to provide localities with the option of requiring
radon resistant construction standards for residential construction. Localities desiring to implement
this standard are required to develop appropriate language that is to be included within the zoning
ordinance. The Frederick County Public Works Committee has recommended that Frederick County
adopt this standard. He further explained that the Development Review and Regulations
Subcommittee (DRRS) considered a request from John S. Trenary, Frederick County Building
Official, regarding this matter. They had several questions pertaining to the implementation ofthis
standard by the Department ofInspections; however, they expressed no concern with the proposed
text amendment. He further advised that Mr. Trenary pointed out that the amendment is for
preventative measures only and pertains to new construction for any living space on a slab on grade,
with crawl spaces being exempt. He further noted that Frederick County would not be involved in
the testing aspect whatsoever.
Supervisor Sager had numerous questions concerning this request. He asked if the county
was under any obligation if this is adopted and what would happen if a citizen is non-compliant.
Chief Inspector Trenary explained, once again, that this only applied to new construction.
Bill Jeunette, Back Creek District, appeared before the Board at which time he explained of
his recent experience with selling his home and radon inspection.
Supervisor Sager moved to approve the zoning ordinance amendment for Radon Resistant
Construction.

committee members were present. The following issues were discussed:
1. Revise Household Hazardous Waste Pro\:ram

of pros and cons for this approach. Tentatively the landfill staff plans to hold one event in the fall
and weekly events commencing in March or April of2002.
2. Electronics Recvclin~ Pr02ram
In anticipation of ongoing efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) to ban
television sets and computer monitors from landfills, the landfill staff has planned an electronics
recycling event for September 22,2001, at James Wood Middle School. This event is highlighted
in the attached memorandum dated August I, 200 I. The committee discussed this issue at length
and decided to endorse the pilot event and possibly consider combining this event with the weekly
household hazardous waste events. Also, consideration was given to having the municipalities bear
the cost of electronics recycling for their respective citizens.

***Items Not Requiring Action***
1. Bowman Library Sidewalk
Several complaints have been received from the homeowners' association at the Lakeview
Condominiums regarding the concrete sidewalk on the library's property. Apparently, citizens are
using the condo property as a short cut to reach the library property. In particular, bicycles are
traversing the condos' sidewalks to reach the library's sidewalk which terminates short of the
property leaving a 40 foot grass separation between the two sidewalks. The condominium
homeowners view this condition as an attractive nuisance.
After discussing this issue at length, the committee recommended that consideration be given
to extending this sidewalk to Chinkapin Drive via the open space just east of the condominium
property. The Director of Public Works will contact the respective homeowners to determine ifthey
would be willing to grant us an easement for the sidewalk. In addition, staff will prepare a cost
estimate for the sidewalk extension.
