appropriate, the Planning Commission recommends the following conditions be placed on the
CUP:
1. All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.
2. No signage allowed with this Conditional Use Permit.
3. Hours of operation shall be 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
4. No more than eight (8) customers per week.
5. No employees permitted, beyond those residing on the premises.
6. Any expansion or change of use shall require a new Conditional Use Permit.
The Applicant, Alisha Feltner, said she wished to scale back her current business and
work out of her home, seeing one client at a time. She said her business is exclusive to her
existing clients and is not open to the public. She said she respects the concerns about privacy

noted by her neighbors, saying her clients will respect the privacy and safety of the
neighborhood.
The Board and the Applicant discussed disposal of chemicals used in the nail business
and the likelihood of the number of clients increasing. Ms. Feltner assured the Board that she
uses a natural process and will not be placing chemicals in her septic system. She reiterated that
she intends to keep her business limited to no more than eight clients per week.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing. The speakers were as follows:
John Ingman, Back Creek District, said he is concerned that if the CUP is granted, other
businesses will want to open in the subdivision. He said the covenants state the subdivision’s
lots are for residential purposes only and the Planning Commission should not have the right to
violate the HOA covenants.
Lisa Creamer, Back Creek District, said the HOA covenants state the subdivision’s lots
are for residential purposes only and the Applicant’s request has been handled inappropriately.
She said the neighborhood is a private subdivision allowing no trespassing and that all the
residents should have been notified about the Applicant’s request.
Jennifer LaFollette, Back Creek District, asked the Board to consider four factors:
precedent- traffic generating businesses have never been allowed in the subdivision; intent- the
covenants state one single family dwelling per lot is allowed indicating the intent is for
residences only; impact- eight customers per week will mean many non-residents affecting the
neighborhood; and enforceability- the HOA will have no way to monitor whether the conditions
are being complied with.
Laura Sperling, Back Creek District, quoted a neighbor who said no one protects the
roads except the residents and having a occupant open a nail shop is unacceptable for privacy in
the neighborhood. She said her property adjoins the Applicant’s lot and she spends much time
outside. She cited concerns about malodorous chemicals used in the nail salon business.
Stacy Frye, Back Creek District, said she agreed with the Planning Commissioner who
stated the need to vote on how the request affects the County and not according to the covenants
which are private. She referenced concerns about privacy saying that the neighborhood is
already used by outsiders traveling through the area. Ms. Frye said the Applicant has a few
clients she will invite to her home and whom she knows and trusts. She asked the Board not to
decline the request.
Bettina Eutsler, Back Creek District, said the covenants state the subdivision’s lots are for
residential purposes only. She said the Applicant is not the property owner, and if one business
is approved it opens the door to others coming in.
Julie Zuckerman, disagreed with an earlier speaker saying she has never seen outsiders
using the subdivision’s roads. She said approving the CUP opens the door for other businesses,
adding that the seclusion of the neighborhood makes the residents sitting ducks. She said most
residents are opposed to the business starting, and she isconcerned about a precedent being set.
David Hershey, Back Creek District, said he has lived in the subdivision 45 years and the
residents never thought a CUP for a business could happen. He said his biggest concern is the
precedent being set.
Elton Hinson, Back Creeek District, requested that the Board delay a decision until the
8 of 58
FREDERICK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Minutes: Regular Meeting
April 25, 2018
HOA meets to resolve the issue.
Laura Clark, Back Creek District, said she has never asked the County for money for
snow removal or road maintenance. She said was asking the Board to deny the CUP request.
Lisa Creamer, Back Creek District, concluded her earlier remarks saying the
neighborhood maintains the roads. She asked the Board to deny the CUP request or delay the
decision until after the HOA meets on May 12.
Alisha Feltner, the Applicant, said that she is the home owner and her name is on the
deed.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he appreciates both sides of the issue. He asked the County
Attorney which entity would have precedence if the Board granted the CUP and the HOA
covenants prohibited the use.
County Attorney Williams explained that the zoning ordinance is additional regulation
that comes after the covenants. He said County action granting the CUP in no way supersedes or
violates the covenants, and the CUP has no impact on the covenants.
Vice Chairman Lofton moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit #02-18 for Alisha
Feltner with the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. He noted that granting
the CUP will allow the residents and the HOA to determine the appropriateness of the use.
Supervisor Trout seconded the motion.
Supervisor Dunn asked Mr. Cheran if the disposal of the nail care products had been
addressed. Mr. Cheran said the Health Department has determined there will be no adverse
effects from the home business.
Supervisor Slaughter asked about the practice of granting conditional use permits to
owners rather than applicants. Mr. Cheran noted that the CUP stays with the property, and said
the application includes a limited power of attorney document as a standard practice when the
owner and applicant are not the same.
Deputy County Administrator Tibbs noted that the County’s property records show the
Applicant, Ms. Feltner, as the owner of the property named in the CUP request.
Supervisor Wells said he understands both sides of the issue and thinks that it is sad that
the County must make a decision possibly leading to the HOA having to deal with the situation
legally.
Supervisor Dunn said he understand the concerns but does not think the number of clients
will cause an impact, and the issue concerns property rights of a homeowner wishing to start a
business.
The motion to approve the CUP carried as follows:

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Ethel Nichols, Back Creek District, thanked the Board for consideration of the request by
the Mountain Falls Park subdivision to become a sanitary district. She said the Board of
Governors of the subdivision lacks the skill set to manage the subdivisions. She said 38% of the
residents pay dues and over $800,000 in outstanding dues is owed. Ms. Nichols said many
residentsare apathetic and frequently do not comply with the rules and by-laws. She asked the
Board to consider seriously the request for Mountain Falls Park to become a sanitary district.

***Items Not Requiring Board Action***
1.Jones Road-Truck Restriction:
Chairman Lofton was contacted by residents that reside on Jones Road regarding
the increase in heavy truck traffic. They are seeking a truck restriction. The
Committee discussed that Jones Road provides a connection between Middle
Road and Cedar Creek Grade. The most recent VDOT traffic count on Jones
Road indicated the average daily use was 2,700 vehicles. This count does not
provide a truck percentage. It was discussed if the trucks are restricted from using
Jones Road, an alternate route would be used.
Upon motion by, Mr. Oates, seconded by Mr. Racey the Committee chose not to
send forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
2. Grace Church Road (Route 668)-Unpaved Road:
Staff has been in contact with a resident of Grace Church Road, regarding dust
and maintenance. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has applied
dust remediation, however the overall concern of the maintenance remains. The
resident would like the roadway to be added to the unpaved list. The traffic trips
have increased 50% from 120 trips per day in 2008 to 180 trips in 2017.

Upon motion by Supervisor McCann-Slaughter, seconded by Mr. Oates, the
Committee recommended that Staff include Grace Church Road (Route 668) to
the next update of the Secondary Road Improvement Plan.
3.Route 604 from Route 55 to Route 600-Truck Restriction:
Chairman Lofton has been contacted by the residents of Gravel Springs Road
(Route 604) regarding heavy truck traffic. They are seeking a truck restriction.
Gravel Springs Road provides a connection between Wardensville Pike (Route
55) and Route 600. This section was counted by VDOT in 2014 and at that time
there was a total of 390 vehicles per day. This study did not specify truck trips.
The Committee discussed the proposed truck restriction and requested additional
analysis by VDOT and was not ready to move forward.
On motion by Mr. Racey, seconded by Mr. Oates the Committee recommended
postponing this item until additional analysis by VDOT is completed.
4.County Project Updates:
Tevis Street Extension/Airport Road/I-81 Bridge:
Staff continues to work through roundabout design comments from VDOT. A
memorandum of the agreement has been developed regarding the comments from
the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield Foundation that was part of the State
Environmental Review Process and has been distributed. The surface street
design is nearly complete.
Renaissance Drive:
The test borings for the geotechnical report are currently taking place. The
geotechnical report is expected to be completed in May. Staff is awaiting
additional feedback from FirstEnergy regarding powerline impacts. The
Preliminary Engineering Agreement has been executed with CSX, which governs
CSX review of the bridge design. Pennoni Associates is beginning to work on the
State Environmental Review Process and the design is at 30%.
Coverstone Drive:
No activity currently.
Jubal Early Drive Extension and Interchange with Route 37:
Staff has recently prepared materials for our private partner that outlines the
timelines for funding and items that are needed to proceed forward with the
project.

5.Upcoming Agenda Items:

and restaurant. One member of the Planning Commission asked about the entrances proposed
from Middle Road. Mr. Snapp noted that one entrance would be built to commercial entrance

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Virginia Department of Transportation
: The master development plan for this property appears to
have a measurable impact on Route 522, the initial VDOT facility that would provide access to the
property. The application as presented appears acceptable. Please provide this office one digital copy of
the approved MDP signed by Frederick County.
See comment letter dated January 31, 2018.
Frederick County Fire Marshal
: Plans approved.
See comment letter dated February 6, 2018.
Frederick County Public Works:
A question has been raised about storm easements for the storm
sewer network and pond within the development. At the time of subdivision plan submission, show all
recorded easements on the plan including outfall easements to ensure that the future HOA can maintain
all proposed facilities. A comprehensive review of stormwater drainage calculations shall also be
performed. The current is under an existing VSMP permit. If there is an increase in impervious surface,
and review of compliance with regulations will be required.
See comment letter dated January 31, 2018.
Frederick County Inspections:
Comments shall be made at site plan submittal.
See comment letter dated January 22, 2018.
Frederick Water:
Frederick Water offers comments limited to the anticipated impact/effect upon
erve 66
residential dwellings. The revised MDP increases the total dwelling count to 103 units. The existing
infrastructure should be adequate to accommodate the water and sewer demands from the project.
Please note that each residential unit will be required to purchase connections to the water and sewer
system and maintain individual meters and account with Frederick Water. Additionally, the introduction
of 37 additional units will warrant wet taps into the existing water infrastructure.

Frederick County Public Schools:
Frederick County Public Schools has reviewed the Regents Crest
master development plan application submitted to us on February 27, 2018. We offer the following
comment:
The cumulative impact of this development and other development in Frederick County will require
construction of new schools and support facilities to accommodate increased student enrollment. This
development proposal includes 99 single-family attached units. We estimate that this development will

house 26 students: 7 high school students, 7 middle school students, and 12 elementary school students.
In order to properly serve these additional students, Frederick County Public Schools would spend an
estimated $325,000 more per year in operating costs (or $3,283 average per unit per year) and an
estimated $1,204,000 in one-time capital expenditures (or $12,162 average per unit). You will find,
attached to this letter, a more detailed assessment of the estimated impact of Regents Crest on FCPS,
including attendance zone information.

Planning & Zoning:
A) Master Development Plan Requirement
A Master Development Plan is required prior to development of this property. Before a MDP
can be approved, it must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, Board of Supervisors and all
relevant review agencies. Approval may only be granted if the MDP conforms to all
requirements of the Frederick County Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The purpose of the
MDP is to promote orderly and planned development of the property within Frederick County
that suits the characteristics of the land, is harmonious with adjoining property and is in the best
interest of the general public.
B) Site History
These properties were not part of a rezoning or other legislative application. The original
Frederick County Zoning Map (U.S.G.S. Winchester Quadrangle) depicts the zoning for the
subject parcel as B2 (General Business) District and R3 (Residential Limited) District. No
zoning changes have been made to the portion of the property zoned B2 District. The portion of
the property zoned R3 District was changed to RP (Residential Performance) District on
September 28, 1983 when the R1, R2, R3, and R6 zoning districts were reclassified. A previous
Master Development Plan was approved in 2004.
C) Site Suitability & Project Scope
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2035 Comprehensive Policy Plan is an official public document that serves as the
Community's guide for making decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities
and other key components of community life. The primary goal of this Plan is to protect and
improve the living environment within Frederick County. It is in essence a composition of
policies used to plan for the future physical development of Frederick County.

Land Use Compatibility:
These properties are not part of any land-use plan. The proposed development is in the
Sunnyside neighborhood of Frederick County. A mixture of residential and commercial uses
exists near the subject parcels. Westminster Canterbury is located to the rear of the subject
parcels and single-family detached residential dwellings exist along the northwest property line,
along the east property line, and across North Frederick Pike (Route 522 North). Commercial
properties also exist across North Frederick Pike (Route 522 North).
Site Access and Transportation:
Access, as shown on the MDP, will be provided to the site via Trafalgar Square from Route 522
North (Northwestern Pike). Internal streets (Sage Circle, Reign Way, Lance Way) will provide
circulation throughout the development. Sidewalks will also be provided on either side of
internal streets for pedestrian connectivity within the development. The Applicant will also
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 04/04/18 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
The Master Development Plan for Regents Crest appears to be consistent with the requirements of
Article VIII, Master Development Plan, of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, and this MDP is in
a form that is administratively approvable. All of the issues brought forth by the Planning Commission
should be appropriately addressed by the Applicant.
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY FOR 04/04/18 MEETING:
Staff provided a general overview of the proposed Master Development Plan (MDP), noting it was for
information purposes only. Staff explained it was in general conformance with the requirements of the
Frederick County Zoning Ordinance and was not part of any previous legislative action. Staff
highlighted improvements including buffering and screening, a multi-use trail, and recreational facilities
including an outdoor pavilion and playground for residence.
Ordinance text amendment to reduce the required buffer category between townhomes and single-family
detached residences allowed this site to add additional units and place them closer to existing residences.
There were no additional Planning Commission comments.

MEMORANDUM

Frederick County Board of Supervisors
FROM:
Candice E. Perkins, AICP, CZA, Assistant Director
SUBJECT: Request for a Commercial Pump & Haul Permit
3149 Front Royal Pike, Winchester (PIN#: 87-A-64)
DATE:
April 25, 2018
________________________________________________________________________
Staff has received a second request seeking approval of a commercial Pump & Haul
Permit for an existing nonconforming commercial structure located at 3149 Front Royal
Pike in the Shawnee Magisterial District. The approximately 0.66-acre property contains
a 2,977 square foot structure which was built in 1947. This structure was previously
utilized for a convenience store but has been closed since 2011. This request is the first
step to reopen the convenience store; if the pump and haul permit is approved the
Applicant will next be able to apply for a Conditional Use Permit seeking to reestablish
the nonconforming use. The subject property is outside the limits of the Sewer and Water
Service Area (SWSA). Frederick County Code, §161-201.05A, states that the Frederick
County Board of Supervisors, after receiving a written statement from the Health
Department, may approve a permanent pump and haul system permit if specific criteria
This request appears to comply with the code requirements and,
are satisfied.
therefore, Board consideration of the request is appropriate.
Applicable Code Requirements and Analysis
Frederick County Code Chapter 161 addresses Sewage Disposal Systems and, more
specifically, permanent pump and haul systems are addressed in §161-201.05. In 2009,
the County revised its health system ordinance to enable the issuance of permanent pump
and haul system permits only upon the approval of the Board of Supervisors.
Additionally, criteria was established in §161-201.05 to offer guidance in the evaluation
of the merits of a request for a permanent pump and haul system. The following criteria
must be met in order to qualify to apply for a pump and haul system:
u
The structure to be served is one of the following:

RE: Pump and Haul Application
April 25, 2018
Page 2
u
An existing dwelling that has no indoor plumbing and is
converting to indoor plumbing, or where an existing onsite sewage
system has failed;
,u
An existing structure used as a place of worship;
-u
An existing school structure;
7u
An existing commercial structure; and
u
The Health Department has rejected an application for an onsite sewage
system otherwise permitted under this Chapter, or an off-site system; and
u
All other options for a sewage system (i.e. off-site easement) have been
pursued and found unsatisfactory as evidenced by a denial letter issued by
the Health Department and/or documentation that a neighboring property
owner is uncooperative in giving an easement; and
u
There shall be no additional bedrooms or bathrooms added to the dwelling
or structure as a result of the permitting of a permanent pump and haul
system.
Background
In correspondence dated March 17, 2017, from the Virginia Department of Health, it
states that a soil evaluation was conducted on the property and it was concluded that an
onsite sewage disposal system could not be supported by this property due to insufficient
area available for required drain field and reserve area. The property owner has also been
unable to obtain an offsite easement (see attached letter). The property owner has
established a relationship with Martin Pumping Service LLC to service the requested
pump and haul system.
The Board of Supervisors previously considered this request on August 9, 2017 and
th
denied the commercial pump and haul request. The minutes from the August 9 meeting
are included with this memo.
Conclusion
The property owner appears to have addressed the requirements of the County Code to
utilize a pump and haul system for the property at 3149 Front Royal Pike, Winchester.
This request appears to comply with the code requirements and, therefore, Board
consideration of the request is appropriate. It should be noted that the maintenance costs
associated with a pump and haul system can be expensive; however, it appears that this
system is the only available option for waste disposal for this property. Board of
Supervisors action on this commercial pump and haul permit is requested.

SUBJECT:
Ordinance Amendment Shipping Containers
DATE:
May 2, 2018
This is a proposed amendment to Chapter 165 Zoning Ordinance to restrict the use of shipping
containers (i.e. pre-fabricated, durable, steel shipping containers, also know as intermodal
containers, cargo containers, freight containers, or ISO containers) as accessory storage in certain
districts. Shipping containers are typically 8-feet (FT) wide, 8-FT tall and 20-40-FT long. The
current zoning ordinance does not specifically address shipping containers, only where tractor
trailers may be parked or stored.
Staff has drafted a revision to the Zoning Ordinance to prohibit the use of shipping containers as
accessory storage in residential (RP, R4, & R5) subdivisions and on rural lots of less than 6-acres.
The proposed amendment further restricts shipping containers as accessory storage in business and
industrial district to only where they are completely contained within a screened outdoor storage
yard and they may not be stacked. The intent of this modification is to further clarify what may
be used for structure/storagen area of concern as identified by the
Zoning Staff. Six (6) acres lots were determined as the minimum lot size in the RA
District where shipping containers could be an accessory structure. The Development Review and
Regulations Committee (DRRC) did not want shipping containers allowed as accessory storage on
rural subdivision (residential) lots which require a minimum of 5-acres.
th
This item was discussed by the DRRC at their February 26 regular meeting. Staff had originally
proposed restricting the use of shipping containers in all districts, expect where they are used for
temporary storage as part of construction activities (to be removed at time of final occupancy).
The DRRC proposed changes to SStaff to bring forward to the
Planning Commission for discussion a revised text amendment which provide restrictions under
certain circumstances (as outlined above).
The Planning Commission discussed this text amendment at their April 4, 2018 meeting. A
Commission Member commented to clarify if someone puts a shipping container on lots less than
6-acres in the RA District, would it be allowed if put inside a building where it would not be visible
or exposed. Staff noted that is correct if contained completely within an enclosed building. A
Commission Member commented that he has talked with several people who are curious where
the 6-acre amount threshold comes from and Staff
noted the 6-acre threshold was determined to be appropriate as residential lots on the RA District
are typically only 5-acres and the intent was to restrict the use of shipping containers as accessory
storage on residential lots. The Planning Commission unanimously agreed to send the item forward
as presented to the Board of Supervisors for discussion.
Staff offers the following considerations for further discussion by the Board of Supervisors.
Staff original intent in regulating shipping containers as accessory storage was to prohibit
the use on residential lots in the RP, R4, R5 and RA Districts. Shipping containers are being
increasingly used as accessory storage on residential lots as they are typically very
inexpensive, durable, and easy to move.
Shipping containers are exempt under the Virginia Statewide Building Code and do not
require a building permit to be used as an accessory storage structure. They are not required
to be on footers or a concrete foundation or required to meet other building code standards
(such as wind load). For accessory structures of more than 250 square feet (SF) a building
approximately 320 SF).
Shipping containers would not qualify for use as a residence unless they were modified to
meet all building code standards. This text amendment only restricts the use of shipping
containers as accessory storage structures.
Staff has no objection to shipping containers being used as storage on lots of all sizes in
the RA District property accessory to a bona fide farm.
Staff has not identified shipping containers as storage being a nuisance in business and
industrial districts. Shipping containers on industrial property as a mode of transporting
goods and products would not be affected by the above proposed regulations, as they would
continue to be allowed with manufacturing, distribution and transportation services uses.
Parking for tractor trucks, tractor truck trailers and shipping containers are allowed with an
approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in the B3 (Industrial Transition), M1 (Light
Industrial) and M2 (Industrial General) Zoning Districts.
