2. REQUEST BY MOUNTAIN FALLS PARK RESIDENTS FOR CREATION OF
SANITARY DISTRICT — REFERRED TO THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
AND PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED
The Board of Supervisors, having Received a Petition Requesting the Creation of a
Sanitary District Encompassing the Subdivision Known as Mountain Falls Park, also
Known as Wilde Acres, will Conduct a Public Hearing on the Question of the Proposed
Sanitary District, which Hearing shall Embrace a Finding of Fact of Whether Creation of
the Proposed District or Enlargement of the Existing District is Necessary, Practical,
Fiscally Responsible, and Supported by at Least 50 Percent of Persons who Own Real
Property in the Proposed District.
Mr. Tierney explained the request and the change in State Code that has resulted in the
matter coming before the Board. He noted that guidance in the code states the Board should
determine whether the creation of the sanitary district is necessary, practical, fiscally responsible
and whether it is supported by over 50% of the residents of the district.
Supervisor McCarthy questioned the number of communications that had been received
saying he had received about 50. The Deputy Clerk concurred with that number having been
received. Chairman DeHaven said that if the Board decides to move forward with the request, a
more formal process will need to be developed for determining whether 50% of residents support
the district.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
The speakers were as follows:
Troy Welby, Back Creek District, said he has lived in Mountain Falls for 10 years and
there are many problems. He said the volunteer governing board is hard to staff because of the
magnitude of the problems. He said the subdivision needs help from the County.
Ethel Nichols, Back Creek District, thanked the Board for considering the request. She
said there are 26 miles of road and 500 homes in the development, and there is no capital to fix
anything. She noted a lack of storm water management and pending legal issues, and said the
current governing board fails to operate and maintain the development. She said the residents of
Mountain Falls deserve the same consideration given other County residents and asked the Board
to support the creation of the sanitary district.
Beth Shalap, Back Creek District, said the Mountain Falls development property owners'
Minute Book Number 43
Board of Supervisors Closed Session and Regular Meeting of 06/13/18
County of Frederick, Virginia
407
association has been mismanaged and is no longer viable. She said the sanitary district is needed
and asked the Board to have the Public Works department study the matter while the public
hearing is continued, adding that the development's residents are also tax paying citizens.
Leonard Roman, Back Creek District, said he is a former member of the Mountain Falls
board of governors. He said that the disclosure packet he received when purchasing his property
was wrong, adding that the there is no accounting and that the board is dysfunctional. He said
the body does not follow the rules of the Property Owners Association Act, and cited licensing,
bill paying and communication errors.
David Williamson, owner of property in Back Creek District, said he is a former member
of the development's board of governors. He said the community is too large for a volunteer
board. He said there is an inability to effectively collect dues, and property values will not
increase without better management. He suggested that a cost analysis be performed before the
Board decides on creating the district.
Jess Cutshaw, Back Creek District, referenced a PowerPoint presentation and a FaceBook
link containing photos and video of recent conditions in Mountain Falls Parks. She spoke about
recurring flooding and the expense to prepare for and recover from flooding events. Ms.
Cutshaw said she pays $435.00 per year to the homeowners' association and receives nothing.
She said she is begging the County for help.
Beth Shalap, Back Creek District, continued her earlier remarks saying the association
has been mismanaged and has three years of records missing. She said only 38% of the residents
are paying their dues and it is unfair to the other residents. She concluded saying the association
will be bankrupt and the residents need help.
Jess Cutshaw, Back Creek District, concluded her earlier remarks saying that the biggest
problem is storm water management.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman Lofton moved to refer the matter to the Public Works Committee for
study and development of a process. Supervisor Dunn seconded the motion.
Supervisor McCarthy noted there is a statute saying the public hearing is fact-finding and
a determination must be made at the close of the hearing.
Mr. Tierney said a process is necessary, but a cost determination must happen also, in
order to estimate the costs to the residents. Vice Chairman Lofton agreed,
Supervisor McCarthy moved to amend the motion adding to continue the public hearing.
Supervisor Dunn seconded the motion. The motion to amend Vice Chairman Lofton's motion
carried on a voice vote.
Supervisor Dunn inquired about requesting that the Public Works Committee find options
for those who have lost money due to the problems in the Mountain Falls community. Chairman
DeHaven said that the Board did not have any basis to address such matters.
The amended motion, continuing the public hearing and referring the request for creation
of a sanitary district to the Public Works Committee for study and development of a process,
carried on a voice vote.

AND LANDSCAPING: SECTION 165-203..02(C) BUFFER AND SCREENING
REQUIREMENTS - DENIED
Revision to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance to Modify Requirements for
Residential Separation Buffers in the RP (Residential Performance) Zoning District
Tyler Klein, Planner, provided background information on the proposed amendment to
modify the requirement of residential separation buffers in the RP (Residential Performance)
Zoning District for certain housing types. He said the Board had approved an amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance on December 13, 2017, to modify the required buffers between townhome
units and single-family detached units and townhome units and single-family small lot units
changing the required buffer category from a Category B to a Category A type buffer. Mr.
Klein continued saying that at the May 9, 2018, meeting, the Board had expressed concern with
the unintended consequences of reducing the buffers, specifically regarding the ability to
increase the intensity of development and potential capital impacts to County services. He said
staff was directed to initiate a public hearing process to reverse the prior amendment approved in
December 2017.

Supervisor Slaughter asked Mr. Klein to speak about the Master Development Plan that
brought the issue to the attention of the Board. Mr. Klein explained that the buffer change did
not allow a higher density but allowed the builder to use more of the density already allowed on
the parcel. Supervisor Wells noted that the density is more a factor of the housing type than of
the buffer requirement.
Supervisor Dunn inquired about a past change in permitted density from four to 10 units.
Planning Director Mike Ruddy explained that for quite some time, the permitted density has
been 10 units per acre for parcels less than 10 acres in the RP district. He said there is a sliding
scale, and as lot sizes increase, the density goes down.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public hearing.
The speakers were as follows:
Patrick Sowers, Opequon District, spoke about the Regents Crest project that brought the
issue before the Board. He said the project has a density of 9.9 units per acre which is an
unusually high density for such development. He said development focused in the Urban
Development Area, as directed by the Comprehensive Plan, takes development pressure off the
rural areas. He noted that the previous requirement called for the same 50' buffer between
townhome and single-family developments as is required between commercial and residential
development and questioned if buffers for these uses should truly be equal.
William Aikens, Gainesboro District, said he represented the Top of Virginia Builders
Association. He said the County is not letting business prosper and cited stringent building laws
and a seeming directive not to look at the proffer law. Mr. Aikens said that when business does
well, the County does well. He said the flexibility in the buffer requirement achieves what
previous county planners had sought and that changing the buffer back will also have
consequences such as eliminating workforce housing. He asked the Board to reconsider
rescinding the text amendment passed last December.
Robert Frogale, Back Creek District, said the quick reversal of the ordinance amendment
passed in December 2017 after nine months of study makes no sense. He said residential growth
should occur in the Urban Development Area (UDA) and referred to a report from the Virginia
Coalition on Housing and Economic Development titled Addressing the Impact of Housing for
Virginia's Economy. He said there is a crisis in affordable housing and a reversal of the
ordinance is a contradiction of the current need. Mr. Frogale concluded by saying that reversing
the ordinance will lead to a waste of land and drive up housing costs. He suggested studying the
issue further rather than making a quick reversal.
Stephen Pettler, Stonewall District, said he was speaking on behalf of the Top of Virginia
Builder's Association and other landowners. He said the ordinance amendment issue is exactly
what faced the Board in December 2017, except that in December there had been nine months of
study and moving the topic through the process, He continued saying that because a
misunderstanding at the May 9 meeting has caused concern, the buffer issue is back on the
Board's agenda, Mr, Pettler said there had been no unintended consequences adding that what
had occurred was a builder being able.to use his property to its by -right density. He noted that

repeal will cost those who are currently in the process of building and asked the Board to keep
the buffer requirements as they are now.
David Williamson, Gainesboro District, said as a real estate investor he sees a lack of
rental property. He said he is in favor of keeping the buffer requirement as is.
Jason Aikens, Gainesboro District, said reversing the buffer amendment will make some
lots undevelopable. He said that the adjustment made in December allows developers the
flexibility to build bigger units or more affordable units which in turn will make a project
feasible thereby meeting the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Don Ganse, Back Creek District, said that no speakers at the Planning Commission
public hearing or tonight's hearing have spoken in favor of repealing the amendment on buffers
and asked the Board to consider that before voting on the matter.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public hearing.
Supervisor Slaughter said the buffer requirements prior to the December 2017
amendment were adequate to provide protection to existing property owners. She said existing
property owners do not have notice of a change in buffer requirements. She moved to repeal the
amendment made in December 2017. Supervisor Dunn seconded the motion.
Vice Chairman Lofton said the change in 2017 was not done without public comment. He
said the current buffer requirement does not increase density, He said the Board made a
conscious decision to change the buffer and some parties have spent thousands since that time to
begin development plans. Vice Chairman Lofton noted that growth is encouraged in the Urban
Development Area (UDA) which protects farmland and that the residents in the UDA have an
expectation of close proximity to neighbors. He said he does not support changing the buffer
requirement.
Supervisor Dunn said the issue is a difference of 25 feet of buffer which is a judgment
call. He moved to amend the motion to table the issue until the next meeting to allow for
developing a plan for grandfathering those projects currently underway that would be affected by
the change. There was no second to the motion to amend Supervisor Slaughter's motion.
Supervisor McCarthy said the decision on the 25 feet was a judgment call made in
December. He said most residents do not have an expectation of a particular buffer, and noted
the Comprehensive Plan directs growth to the UDA. He said that money has been spent on
projects since the December 2017 amendment, and added the Board should create certainty for
those in the industry.
Supervisor Wells said he wants the Board to send the right message. He said the study of
an issue for nine months followed by a vote sends a message. He said the development
community tries to follow the rules by building in the UDA, and said the Board needs to be more
reliable than to reverse a decision so hastily:
Supervisor Slaughter said that the Board received information from one of the persons
originally raising the issue with the Development Review & Regulations Committee (DRRC)
that indicates the December amendment may not increase density. She said she continues to
believe buffers are for the protection of the land owner and that owners do not have enough

notice of changes in buffer requirements.
Supervisor Trout asked for clarification of the motion.

Vice Chairman Lofton noted the Medicaid expansion will take effect January 1. He said
the Department of Social Services is planning to hire eight employees and the expected cost to
the County is $240,000.
Supervisor Wells noted his attendance recently in Stephens City at the WWI -WWII
commemoration event sponsored by Mr. Fravel and urged others to attend next year.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Beth Shalap, Back Creek District, thanked the Board for voting to send the sanitary
district request to the Public Works Committee. She said she wanted the Board to know the
residents had inquired about hiring a management company and determined it was not
economically feasible.- She said an investigation of the governing board's finances is pending.
She encouraged the Board to discuss the topic of bond funding for the sanitary district at a future
Board meeting.
David Williamson, Gainesboro District, inquired about the process for appealing a
decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals and proposing an ordinance amendment. Chairman
DeHaven recommended that Mr. Williamson contact staff.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
In reference to the previous speaker, Supervisor McCarthy suggested contacting County
Staff, including the Planning & Development Department, for the proper steps to go through to
propose an ordinance change.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Landfill Oversight Committee Members and Board of Supervisors
FROM: Joe C. Wilder, Director of Public Works `0i
SUBJECT: Landfill Oversight Committee Report for Meeting of May 24, 2018
DATE: May 31, 2018
The Landfill Oversight Committee met on Thursday, May 24, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. All committee
members were present except Stan Crockett, Eden Freeman, David Ash, Robert Wells and Perry
Eisenach. The following items were discussed:
***Items Not Requiring Action***
1. Discussion on sludge issues at the Landfill:
During the summer of 2016, the Opequon Wastewater Treatment Facility (OWTF) changed their
treatment system and started producing a different type of sludge. For many years, sludge has
been transported to the Regional Landfill from many treatment plants in the region. We have
been able to place the sludges in the Landfill waste and have not had any problems with stability
of the waste mass or being able to obtain a satisfactory compaction of the waste.
However, since the change in the makeup of the sludge in 2016, the sludge from OWTF has had
a higher moisture content and it is made up of less solids. Staff at the Landfill has had a very
difficult time placing the sludge in the trash due to its poor suitability and higher moisture
content. While trying to incorporate the sludge into the waste, the equipment sinks and gets
stuck. Since 2016, we have been digging large trenches in the existing trash and burying the
sludge. This is causing long term stability problems in the Landfill and our Landfill engineering
consultants, SCS Engineers, has told us to cease this operation.
County staff, Frederick Winchester Service Authority (FWSA) staff and City of Winchester.staff
have met several times over the last few months trying to find a viable, cost effective solution.
Don Riggleman, Waste Supply and Wastewater Treatment Division Manager attended the
meeting and presented the many different things they have tried to help make the sludge more
suitable to be placed in the Landfill. They have not been able to significantly make any changes
to the sludge that will allow it to be placed with minimal impact. He informed the committee that
they have submitted a biosolids application to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
There long- term solutions would be to divert all the sludge to land application and store the
material when they can't land apply the sludge. They informed us that this permit could take at
Ieast 3-6 months. In the meantime, they are requesting we try to help them by storing the sludge
until it can be land applied. It may not be possible to provide that long-term storage.
Our main short-term goal is to mix the sludge with an additive to help the sludge dry out, provide
structural stability and be placed like a soil. The Landfill and OWTF would cost share with the
additive and equipment to perform an on -site mixing process. There are a lot of logistics related to
this and we are continuing to work through the details.
2. Discussion of Leachate issues at the Landfill:
Over the past two weeks, the Landfill area has received eight (8) inches of rain. During this time,
we encountered some extreme run-off from the different areas of the Landfill with some bypass
Minute Book Number 43
Board of Supervisors Closed Session and Regular Meeting of 06/13/18
County of Frederick, Virginia

pumping in the Permit 40 Landfill area. Over the past few years, we have attempted to make
some additional improvements in the Permit 40 area with limited success. We are currently
looking at constructing a large ballast holding pond to provide liquid storage during the spring
season. The ponds capacity could be 3-4 million gallons in size. We are currently pumping
leachate to the OWTF at a rate of approximately 100,000 gallons per day to get some volume in
our ponds.
Discussion of specific waste fees:
We discussed some updates on special waste fees at the Landfill. We have made some minor
adjustments to tires and electronic recycling fees. I have attached the updated 2018 tipping fees
at the Landfill which have been approved and adopted by the Board of Supervisors. (Attachment
1)
4. Discussion of upcoming Projects:
We will begin excavation of Phase 3, Cell A area of the permit 529 MSW Landfill later this
year. We want to remove approximately 500,000 cubic yards of soil and rock in preparation of
a future Landfill cell.
Discussion to add additional Landfill gas collection:
We are going to add additional Landfill gas collections capacity in our active Landfill area to
boost our gas production at the energy plant. We will be doing engine replacements at the
energy plant in the late summer since the engines have over 60,000 work hours each.
6. Discussion of future cost sharing with Clarke County:
Currently, Clarke County is starting construction on a new citizen convenience center located
east of Berryville. Once this facility goes on-line later this year, we may need to adjust our
current cost share program with Clarke County at several sites. We will relook at those rates
later this year.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Joe C. Wilder, Director of Public Works Jll
SUBJECT: Public Works Committee Report for Meeting of May 29, 2018
DATE: July 3, 2018
The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, at 8:00 a.m. All members were
present except Robert Wells and Whit Wagner. The following items were discussed:
***Items Not Requiring Action***
1. Update on the new Stephenson Convenience Site:
Staff gave a brief update on the construction of the new center. Due to recent heavy rainfall,
the work has been delayed. We have talked with Carmeuse and they are allowing us to keep
operating our Clearbrook site until we can move over. We hope to open the new site in late
June.
2. Update on disposition of the old Frederick County Middle School:
Recently, the county received bids for the sale of the old Frederick County Middle School
located at 441 Linden Drive. We received a bid from Valley Health, but it was conditioned.
They indicated they would pay $50,000.00 more than the highest bid not to exceed $4
million. We did not receive any other bids. The County Administrator has reached out to
Valley Health to seek clarification and if they are going to submit a bid price.
A question was asked if it would benefit the possible sale of the property if the building was
demolished. Due to the need for major renovations, if the building was removed from the
property, it could make the property more marketable. Staff has been able to contact a large
demolition company in the region to receive a reasonable budget estimate to abate and
remove the asbestos in the building and then demolish the building. The company provided
an estimate of $900,000. If this option was chosen, a formal bid process would have to be
performed and get an actual bid result. The final option was to reach out to a local real estate
company and place the building and property on the market for sale. Staff will seek further
clarification from the Board of Supervisors on possible avenues to sell the property.
3. Discussion/Update on the Landfill Oversight Committee Meeting held on Thursday, May 24,
2018:
The committee discussed the different issues at the Frederick County Regional Landfill. We
have attached the committee report from the May 24, 2018 meeting which describes in detail
what matters we are dealing with out there and our plans of actions. The committee
recommended that the report be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for their information.

4. Discussion regarding an ordinance for lifetime dog tags:
The County Attorney and Treasurer made a presentation to the committee about a process
that would allow for a lifetime dog license. After some discussion, the committee
recommended that the draft ordinance be sent to the Code and Ordinance committee for
further review. Supervisor Lofton recommended approval of the motion and committee
member Gene Fisher seconded the motion. The committee unanimously approved the
motion.

5. Discussion on a draft ordinance regarding payment of taxes to obtain building permits:
The County Attorney and the Treasurer made a presentation to the committee about requiring
that payment of taxes to Frederick County be paid prior to issuance of building permits or
land disturbance/stormwater permits. There was discussion about the process of determining
how staff would verify the payment of taxes. The Treasurer's office has the information
available to staff on the AS400 so once a permit is created if taxes are owed a message will
appear informing them the applicant owes Frederick County taxes. Staff would direct the
applicants to the Treasurer's office for payment.
After some additional discussion, the committee recommended that the draft ordinance be
sent to the Code and Ordinance committee for further review. Committee member Gene
Fisher recommended approval of the motion and committee member Ed Strawsnyder
seconded the motion. The committee unanimously approved the motion.

6. Update on the Frederick County Esther Boyd Animal Shelter Training Facility Design:
Staff gave a brief update on the progress of the project design. Its anticipated that a final
design will be completed by July 2018, The design package will be brought back to the
committee at that time for endorsement and to move forward with the bid process.

***Items Not Requiring Board Action***
1. Perry Road Speed Study:
Chairman Lofton was contacted by residents that reside on Perry Road
regarding the 55-mph speed limit. The residents note that it is too fast for the
conditions of the roadway and are asking that the County request VDOT to
perform a speed evaluation. The most recent VDOT traffic count on Perry
Road is 460 daily trips. Staff recommends that VDOT Engineering assess the
situation and provide recommendations.
Upon consensus of the Committee they chose to forward a recommendation
to the VDOT Staunton District Traffic Engineering for an evaluation.
2. Old Charlestown Road Bridge:
Mr, Lloyd Ingram gave a brief update of the Old Charlestown Road Bridge
replacement and discussed the proposed flood gates to be installed for safety
issues. Once more information is available, it will be presented to the
Committee.
3. Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road Plan Updates (attached):
Staff gave an overview of the Interstate and Primary Road Plans that are
updated each year. Also, discussed was the Secondary Road Plan. VDOT
could still make some refinements to the Secondary Road Plan.
Interstate Plan Updates are as follows:
1. Change letter priorities to number priorities to be consistent with the Primary Plan.
2. Update of priorities to place Exit 313 at Number 1 and Exit 317 at Number 2.
3. Update language for Exit 307 to acknowledge the need to improve the existing
facility ahead of the long-term goal of relocation.
Primary Plan Updates are as follows:
1. Move Route 11 ahead of Route 277 on the priority list.
2. Route 277 to be broken into segments of logical termini in recognition of the fact
that future applications for this roadway would likely need to be for smaller
segments.
