CITIZEN COMMENT
Susan Rhodes, Gainesboro District, supports animal control within the county, and is
concerned about the number of dogs that are nmning loose in the neighborhoods within the county.
The county continues to grow, and as you bring more people in you also bring more dogs that are
left to run, and at times be a nuisance, as well as cause property damage.
Diane McMillian, Opequon District, asked the Board to develop and implement a public
disclosure policy, and a conflict of interest policy for all employees and elected officials of Frederick
County government. She feels it is past time that we had real policies for these issues. For the
record she would like to commend and thank Supervisors Sid Reyes and Robert Sager for bringing
to the public's attention any potential acts of impropriety in the June Closed Session of the Board.
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/12/01
533
As a taxpayer she feels it is her elected official's duty to represent the citizens fairly and keep them
informed. She feels Supervisor Reyes handled the situation in a most professional and very
authentic manner.
Mike Webber, Stonewall District, advised that he has been very concerned about the sales
tax issue in the City of Winchester. He continues to read in the paper where members ofthis Board
are in total support. He feels this county Board needs to set straight exactly what there opinion is
on this issue as to whether they are supporting the tax increase or they are not. He feels this is a very
important issue for Frederick County.
Linda Hyre, Stonewall District, directed her comments to Supervisor Orndoff.
On behalf of her family and friends she extended to Supervisor Orndoff their gratitude for
all his years of unselfishly working for the citizens of Frederick County. His years of public service
extends above and beyond the time he has served as a member ofthe Board of Supervisors. His love
and genuine concern for our community did not begin with your election to public office, and she
is sure it will not end there. Without concern for personal fame or gain you have played a major roll
over the years in helping to make Frederick County a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
Your years of public service, prior to representing us on the Board, predates many ofthe newcomers
to Stonewall District. Her family, for one, has been the beneficiary of your generosity and kindness
on more than one occasion, and you have never taken any bows for them. Too numerous to mention
this evening, I will mention only a couple, but suffice to say it can be multiplied a hundred fold. She
remembers when he and his family plowed the roads open so that the power company could restore
service for a section of county residents without electricity and heat during a storm. A service done
by him, beyond the call of duty, but done out oflove and caring for your fellow man. Her family
and thousands of others have benefitted from his concern for the young people, and they thank him
for the major part he played in establishing the Frederick County Fairgrounds. While many
urbanites might view the county fair as a little corney, and the kids who participate not real cool, the
nearly year round preparation for the annual summer event gave her three children focus, taught
them discipline and kept them off the streets. Thank you Mr. Orndoff for the opportunity your
unselfish generosity afforded them, and yes, that focus and discipline paid off, those children turned
into a doctor, a state trooper and a business executive. God speed to you Mr. Orndoff.
Jim Hodgson, Stonewall District, Supervisor Orndoffs neighbor. He does not know how
Miuute Book Number 27

the Board does this, but he is glad they do it and that it is not left up to him. This could save
Charles's life, all this stress and late meetings and coming out to feed his cows. He is sorry that he
lost, but he is glad that Lynda won, now if you can figure that one out, do it.
Jack Drumheller, Stonewall District, thanked Supervisor Orndoff for his fourteen years of
public service on the Board of Supervisor's representing the citizens of Stonewall District. In
particular he wanted to thank him for his hard work and leadership in getting a new elementary
school built in Stonewall District. At that time a new school was not even on the priority list ofthe
capital improvements projects in the county. At the time the children were in classroom trailers,
there were many safety issues and the school was not handicap accessible. Through Supervisor
Orndoffs leadership and hard work the capital improvements list was revised, the new school was
built which the children are enjoying today and will continue to enjoy for many years to come. He
thanked Supervisor Orndoff for his hard work, he hopes he enjoys his retirement and he wished he
and his family well.
Sharon Boyd, Gainesboro District, she felt with this being the last meeting ofthe year, it was
appropriate to say "thanks" to the entire Board. A year ago she did not know any of the Board
members and she has learned a lot within the past year. One thing that she has learned is that each
of the Board members have made a lot of sacrifices and through this year she has grown to respect
and admire many of the Board members. She appreciates beyond belief, beyond doubt, the amount
of hours that the Board has contributed to this community, and each and every one of you have made
sacrifices and you all need to be recognized, and she thanked them and wished each ofthem a Merry
Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
Administrator Riley asked Chairman Shickle ifhe thought it would be appropriate, at this
time, to respond to Mr. Webber's request as to the position ofthis Board on the City of Winchester' s
request for an increase in their sales tax.
Administrator Riley advised Mr. Webber that this Board is on record as requesting the
General Assembly to allow this particular Board of Supervisors, and if permissible, all Boards of
Supervisors within the Commonwealth, permission to hold a referendum next Fall to determine voter
approval on a 1 percent local option sales tax. That is the position of this Board at this time to try
and seek that approval. When the City refers to support on sales tax, he believes this is what they
are referring to.

Chairman Shickle advised that as of this date a patron has not been secured for this
legislation, but the county continues to search for one.

EXTENSION REOUEST FOR THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DATED JULY 14. 1999 - APPROVED
Administrator Riley explained that a request has been received from Gary L. Edwards of
EDC Office on behalf of GRW for an extension of their MOU dated July 14, 1999. GRW has
purchased $2,240,490 of the $2,500,000 in machinery and tools committed to in the MOD.
Applying the 90% rule stated in the MOU, this is only $9,510 short of that 90% amount of
$2,250,000. Where they fall short is in the number of jobs created. By December 30,2001, they
will be at 50% of the 60 jobs agreed to in the MOU. It is recommended that an extension be granted
until December 31,2002 provided they create 54 jobs which is 90% of the 60.

STEEPWOOD LANE ON THE EAST. AND BERRYVILLE AVENUE ON THE
SOUTH. WOODS MILL ROAD INTERSECTS A PORTION OF THE AREA -
APPROVED
Assistant Planning Director Lawrence presented this request to the Board advising that staff
and planning commission recommended approval. He further advised that the applicants have
requested to expand the Urban Development Area (UDA) to incorporate approximately 110 acres
identified as Parcels 55-A-l 05, 106, 107, & 107 A zoned RA (Rural Areas) District; and located on
the north side ofBerryville Pike (Route 7), intersected by Woods Mill Road. He further advised that
the plmming commission heard this request during their August 1,2001 meeting. A few residents
voiced concern regarding the need for a UDA expansion at this location and the increased traffic that
would impact Woods Mill Road. The commission believed the location was appropriate, as the
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/12/01
541
UDA already bisected the site. The commission also believed that the applicant's proposal for
improvements to the intersection of Route 7 and Woods Mill Road would improve an already
deficient intersection.
Supervisor Smith feels that property lines should be followed and he plans to vote that theory
in the future.
Supervisor Reyes questioned whether the Board would be acting arbitrarily if they did not
approve this, since they did vote to approve Southern Hills.
Mr. Chuck Maddox of G. W. Cliffford Associates, appeared before the Board on behalf of
this request to further explain, by way of maps, exactly what and where the property is that is part
of this request.
Sam Lehman, Back Creek District, appeared before the Board at which time he stated that
he basically disagrees with most of what Mr. Maddox has said, particularly with the growth ofthe
rural and urban areas. He stated that urban households are growing five times faster than the rural
households. He referred to the downzoning of 1980 and the fact that the steepness of this area was
addressed at that time. He addressed what would happen with "rush hour" traffic with an additional
300 homes being built in this area.
Mike McMillian, Opequon District, speaking on behalf of VISION, and the fact that they do
not feel the UDA should be extended in this case. There should be no expansions to the UDA until
the existing resources are fully utilized in our current UDA.
Dr. John McAllister, Stonewall District, resident of this area since 1972. He is concerned
about increasing high density on the north, and the effect this development would have on Red Bud
Run. Ifthere is to be construction he feels it should be on the hollow side and not the Red Bud side.
Bud Norgalvort, Secretary ofthe Winchester Chapter of Trout Unlimited, explained that the
Trout in this Run is substantial, and he wanted to advise the Board that trout of this number is
becoming less and less and it concerns him that any drainage from any development at this location
would daJDage this streaJD which in turn would dramatically affect the trout population.
JaJDes Stillwell, Stonewall District, feels that each time a proposal such as this is presented
to the Board, there is a lack of up-front planning effort available in order for the citizenry to
understand what the proponent is trying to do. He further stated that no one has said what is plaJilled
for this area, as far as what type of housing is being requested. Feels drawings are necessary that
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/12/01
54
will show exactly what the proponents plan to do with the site.
Jim Lawrence representing the Opequon Watershed and Trout Unlimited. Those two groups,
along with the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Virginia Department of
Game and Inland Fisheries, have a plan in place that will basically keep livcstock out of Faith Spring
and the Red Bud Run area. When they heard about this proposed development they became
concerned about water quality in Red Bud Run. He advised that members of these organizations
have met with Mr. Maddox about these concerns.
Mike Webber, Stonewall District, expressed his concerns about expanding the UDA and the
precedent the Board would be setting. He advised of his concern about the increased traffic and the
impact that 300 homes would have, not only on traffic, but also the schools.
Sharon Boyd, Gainesboro District, advised that she had concerns about pollution, and that
fact that this had not been discussed with regard to this request. The county knows better and the
county needs to do better in this area. She also feels the water shed needs to be protected. Asked the
Board to not approve this request.
David Darsie, Stonewall District, thanked the planning staff for separating this issue from
a rezoning proposal, feels it necds to be heard separately. He is sympathetic with Mr. McTiernan
in wanting to sell his property for the highest price at this point in his life. He addressed the ridge
line and the urban development line and the acreage involved with this. He addressed the
transitional area to the home sites scheduled to the north which are not compatible with the UDA.
He asked the Board to vote no, and to let it be known that they are trying to seek a compromise that
can satisfy everyone.
Pamela Kennedy, Gainesboro District, asked why the county would want to tinker with an
existing line of demarcation that allows the ridge to remain in tact, thus minimizing damage to the
land and water resources that fall below the UDA line. Anyone that has seen the property knows
why the UDA limit line was established in the first place, why change a valid limit. Concerned
about over development in such close proximity of Red Bud Elementary and the new high school.
Urged the Board to reconsider this request.
Mark Stivers, Gainesboro District, asked the Board to consider the opportunity that is before
them at this time. He asked the Board to ask the applicant to further consider the issues that have
been raised here this evening. He is concerned about the Red Bud watershed as well as the
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/12/01
543
expansion of the urban development area. He further asked the Board to either deny or defer this
request until more information on the watershed is made available.
Bob Pownall, Shawnee District, Conservation Chair of Northern Shenandoah Valley
Audubon Society, asked how is the open space calculated. He feels this may eventually work;
however, more study is needed, and asked the Board to vote against this extension.
Catherine Whitesell, Back Creek District, referred to Tab K on tonight's agenda
(Transportation Enhancement Proposal Grant Application) as she could not understand how the
Board could vote to approve this request, and then turn around and vote to approve Tab K which has
to do with Third Battle Winchester. She referred to the map located behind the Board showing this
battlefield area known as the Berryville Canyon. She does not understand why staff would present
these requests in this manner on the agenda.
Sam Lehman explained to the Board the history of B erryvi lie Canyon.
Jim Giraytys, Back Creek District, addressed the quality that is found in Red Bud Run, and
if in fact this development, on the northwestern side, will in any way impair this stream, he feels
every effort needs to be made to see that this does not happen.
Fred McCann, Stonewall District, addressed the area of increased traffic. He is a local high
school student and knows the amount of vehicles that arrive and depart from a high school site each
day. He asked about plans to widen Woods Mill Road.
Supervisor Sager inquired as to how the citizens of this area were notified about the UDA
line when it was originally put into place.
Planning Director Wyatt advised due to the fact that this happened approximately 10 years
ago, and the fact that the current planning staff was not here at that time, it would be impossible to
supply that answer. He further advised that he felt this was done through advertisement of the
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Supervisor Sager asked ifthe individual land owners were not notified by mail that the UDA
was going to cross their land.
Director Wyatt advised that he seriously doubted that the county did a mass mailing.
Supervisor Sager stated that he has a problem with not being able to use all of your land.
Chairman Shickle asked how one went about establishing where this line is at that time.
Assistant Lawrence explained that you would look at the original USGS maps as well as GIS.
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/12/01
544
If it is not following the property line, staff would do exactly what Mr. Maddox did. He would
transcribe the information onto a map. He referred to the map behind the Board and explained if it
is flat land and it does not follow the ridge, he could come to the Board with a petition saying this
is where I think it should go, based on the Comprehensive Plan.
Assistant County Administrator Tierney further explained that the line in question sometimes
follows roads, streams, and in other places, ridge lines. He does not feel anyone can precisely say
where the line is, it is a matter of interpretation.
Chairman Shickle asked if it is easy to do.
Assistant Tierney replied not as easy as we would like it to be, it is interpretation, arguments
can be presented on both sides.
Supervisor Sager stated that he has given this a great deal of thought, and he hears what the

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
Supervisor Reyes made the following statement:
When I campaigned for this office two years ago, one of my pledges to the citizens of
Frederick County was, and I quote: "I will work for you". My voting record and public comments
will show that I tried to practice what I preached. In responding to a controversial issue, this Board
was compelled to deal with, I placed a paid ad in a local newspaper on October 30. Those of you
who read it might recall what I said. None of us walk on water, and each of us will error from time
to time. When in good faith we misstep we should acknowledge our short comings and vow to try
harder, I intend to do just that. I am confident that each member of this Board is equally committed
to take on the public's business to the best oftheir ability, and our ability, and to faithfully exercise
our best judgement in doing so. If! may, allow me to turn my thoughts to you, Mr. Orndoff. I know
that we did not see eye to eye one particular issue that has been resolved and is now behind us, and
in the healing process of this Board, I hope we can put that issue on the shelf and refocus our
attention on the future of Frederick County. I would be remiss; however, if! failed to acknowledge
the fourteen years of dedicated service you gave to this community. I am certain that your fellow
Board members and public constituents will and have continue to openly express their personal
feelings of appreciation about you. While it may be time for you to move on Mr. Orndoff, there will
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/12/01
551
never be a time to forget your many contributions and accomplishments to this community. In
closing, I wish to add that I welcome and look forward to working with the two new members ofthis
Board, Lynda Tyler and Gina Forrester. I am confident that they also share the premise, that people
corne first, and as Board members, this is the only reason why we sit here. As we venture into the
new year and face the many challenges before us, I wish to renew my pledge to the citizens of
Frederick County that I will continue to work for you. My source of inspiration to proceed in this
manner comes from those ever popular words by Lincoln at Gettysburg. We are a Government of
the People, by the People, and for the People. Thank you, God Bless You, and good night.
Supervisor Orndoff made the following statement:
Mr. Reyes I accept some of your comments. I did spend fourteen years on the Board and
served the people well, and I promised when I was appointed in 1988 that I would represent the
Stonewall District to the best of my ability, and I feel I have done that. I wanted to bring one thing
that Mrs. McMillian, made a first statement tonight, that she praised you and Bob Sager. I want to
go on record that I did not make a motion or ask for Shockey to be tabled on June 13th, that is
absolutely wrong I never mentioned that because it could not be tabled. Because it had to be - to
table which you quoted - table after the election. It had to be taken care of in October. I did not ask
for it to be tabled, I don't know where you carne up with that. I didn't know that you even disliked
me until I read it in the paper. The way I look at - what I did do - you was a half hour late for the
meeting, on the Court chair you said you were 5 minutes. It was in the minutes you were half an
hour, but any way I don't know whether you even knew why we went into executive session, but we
went in there under legal matters on Shockey. I asked Mr. Arnbrogi, and I asked Mr. Riley if! could
poll and see what they was going to do on Shockey's rezoning. I asked the members starting with
Sager and he told me what he was going to do, Mr. Smith told me what he was going to do, and I
asked Mr. Reyes, and he said I will tell you that when I get to where I need to be. I thanked him for
his cooperation and he talked about it in the paper that we had a heated conversation. I don't know
what a heated conversation he is talking about, because that was the only thing I said to him. The
only reason after corning out of the executive session I tabled it because Mr. Shockey asked me to
table it to give him more time to work with proffers. I had respect for Mr. Shockey to give him that
opportunity to do that because he was the one was putting the money up and paying for the expense
of that and he had until October, from June until October, or October sometime to do whatever he
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 12/12/01
552
needed to do to bring back to the Board. As far as why you did what you did, had a press conference
with Mr. Sager was political. You meant to do it, you was talked into doing it by some people,
particularly in your area probably. I am not going to hold that against you, I think things are going
to work out better for me. I will tell you just like I did Mr. Riley. Just about eighteen years ago I
went through a silage wagon, tearing this arm off, jerking ribs out and cutting my ear off. The good
Lord took care of me that time, and the good Lord is going to take care of me when I go off the
Board. I want to thank all the people in Frederick County for their response -well more or less their
friendship with me in the fourteen years, and I have enjoyed working for Frederick County as a
Board member and I thank all the staff that I have worked with. I have enjoyed working with them
and the Board members. God Bless everyone in Frederick County. Thank you.
Supervisor Sager asked to end the session on just a little different note. This has been a
different year, the world has changed, our country has changed, our county has changed. Sometimes
when we assess why we do what we do here sitting behind these desks, there are certain things that
we might forget. Sometimes when we think we are sacrificing, it is really our families who are
making the sacrifice. As we are approaching the Christmas Season and the birth of our savior, I
want to give thanks for my family and for their dedication and for being with me for ten years and
making the sacrifices. As a Christmas Blessing that God would bless our country, our county and
give us peace and grace.
Supervisor Smith, Charlie and I haven't always agreed. Times we have agreed to disagree,
but I have never let that stand between us as a barrier, and I don't intend to now, Charlie. God
knows I wish you God's speed in anything you venture to do, we are losing a good member.
Supervisor Orndoff, thank you Harrington, I appreciate that. The only thing, I did not do any
dirty campaigning that I know of, and the only thing that I did not like that you did to me was when
you had those three chairs in the Winchester Star that said they were not for sale. I wasn't trying to
buy them to start with.
Supervisor Smith - That's what happened Charlie, let me tell you something. I was running
a nice campaign until that side got a little dirty. Those three chairs were my idea, I will have to tell
you, you can't blame it on anyone else.
Supervisor Orndoff - Well, I will think about it.
Supervisor Douglas thanked Charles for all he has done and for being such a help to her when

she first came on the Board, and I am sorry to see you go Charlie, thank you.
Chairman Shickle - Charlie I guess I would be remiss, if I did not say thank you, and the
person I guess that was mentioned, but not out loud, Jolene thank you. I know you spent many
nights at home, that serves Frederick County too, so thank you.
