WINCHESTER FREDERICK COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT
CHARLIE WEISS PRESENTATIONRE: FORWARD WINCHESTER FREDERICK
INITIATIVE
President Weiss presented to the board the chamber's four-year growth initiatives. A nine
minute video tape was played for the board. The four-year development efforts will focus on five
specific action areas: 1) Workforce Development to concentrate on resources that will increase the
availability of skilled and trainable labor for area employers; 2) Education and Leadership
Development to implement strategies to provide the best possible education for area young people
and identify and develop new and emerging leaders for the community; 3) Community and
Governmental Affairs to work closer and more effectively with all levels of government for positive
development; 4) Business Development to assist in continued economic prosperity for area business
and industry; and 5) New Chamber Building where all of these critical initiatives can be
implemented on behalf of the overall community. To accomplish this goal, the chamber requested
an investment from the board of supervisors of $1 00,000 over a four-year period.
Forward Winchester Frederick Tri-Chair Jerry Kerr appeared before the board to answer
questions. The board questioned the city's participation in this project and was advised that the city
has agreed to support this effort if a block grant is pursued and depending on where the facility will
be located. A new facility is estimated at approximately $840,000 to $1,500,000. Another option
being studied by the chamber is expansion of the existing facility.
REOUEST FROM PRESIDENT KATHERINE S. WHITESELL. FORT COLLIER
CIVIL WAR CENTER. INC.. FOR FREDERICK COUNTY TO SERVE AS FISCAL
AGENT FOR ALL STATE AND FEDERAL GRANTS RECEIVED FOR THE FORT
COLLIER PROJECT - APPROVED
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 08/09/00

Ms. Whitesell addressed the board requesting Frederick County to serve as fiscal agent for
the above mentioned grant. This grant of $166,000 will help the center purchase Fort Collier
constructed in 1861 as part of the defense in Winchester. The acquisition of the ten-acre tract is
$500,000. As of today, $153,000 in donations and pledges have been received and the remaining
$334,000 will be raised through additional private donations and grants. The grants pursued will
help the organization purchase the land and once the land is purchased, the county will no longer be
involved with the project.
Some concern was addressed by the county administrator regarding staff's time in processing
these grants. Only two departments are capable of administering the grants, the planning and
development office staff and the assistant county administrator. With the turnover situation in
planning, limited time will be available and he asked for the board's patience in handling this
responsibility if the board approved this request.

request was approved by the following recorded vote:
Richard C. Shickle - Aye

COUNTY OFFICIALS
SANITATION AUTHORITY REPRESENTATIVES ADDRESS BOARD RE:
WATER STATUS UPDATE
Frederick County Sanitation Authority Chairman James Anderson appeared before the board
and introduced the evening's presentation regarding the Water Supply Plan in Frederick County.
The plan addressed various areas of concern regarding the effects of the drought, overview of the
long range water supply plan, the USGS study, review ofprojected water demand and treatment and
transmission facilities to meet demands, review of ground water source availability and
development, and review of the water contract negotiations with the City of Winchester.
Frederick County Sanitation Authority Engineer/Director Wellington H. Jones appeared
before the board. In summary, he advised the board that from a vegetation perspective the drought
is over but the effects of the drought on the ground water will not be specific until next spring
because significant recharge of groundwater occurs during the late fall to early spring. Indicators
he uses show that the drought is less severe at this time. The voluntary water conservation measures
were called for in the early spring in preparation for a repeat ofthe summer of 1999, which was not
the case this year. He made it perfectly clear to the board that new development was not a concern
to the authority as this only represented around two percent or 60 thousand gallons per day in water
demands. The peak water demands from existing customers are always a concern during hot and
dry weather conditions. As a result of the favorable weather conditions this summer, the peak
demands have been met by the authority and it is perceived that there will be no need to impose
water restrictions should the current conditions prevail. The Clearbrook, Stephens City, and
Bartonsville quarries will provide the most reliable source of water for the county and due to the
economic development ofthese resources rates will not have to be increased. The USGS proposed
study will help address questions regarding the quantity of water available for use, the effects of
increased pumpage on groundwater levels and instream flows, the relation between karst features

Board of Supervisors Meeting of 08/09/00

and the hydrology and geochemistry ofthe surface and ground-water flow systems, and the quality
of the ground-water supply and its vulnerability to current and potential future of sources of
contamination. The study will take three and one-half years beginning in October 2000 and a final
report will be produced in FY 2004. Messrs. David Nelms and George Harlow, hydro geologists
with the Water Resources Division, Geological Survey in Richmond, will present their proposal at
the board meeting scheduled for September 27. The authority has asked the board's cooperation and
support for funding this survey and the geological survey will fund up to 50 percent of the study.
Gilbert W. Clifford and Associates Vice President and Senior Environmental Consultant Earl
Sutherland, P.E., appeared before the board and addressed the projected water demands and
treatment facilities to meet those demands. By 2001, the authority will have treatment and
transmission capacity to meet maximum day demands of 4.6 MGD; 2003, 10 MGD of treatment
capacity to meet 5.1 MGD maximum day demands; and by 2025, an average daily demand of about
8 MGD. At present, water is purchased from the city in order to meet water demands as county
water sources are less than county water demands, however, with the completion ofthe Bartonsville
Wells, the Stephens City South Quarry, the Frey Quarry, and the Frey Quarry Expansion, the
authority will be able to sustain its maximum needs with the completion of these systems.
Science Applications International Corporation Technical Services Manager Michael D.
Haufler, P.G. ofthe Westminster, Maryland office appeared before the board to address the ground
water source availability and development. He reported that there is a lot of ground water in the
valley because ofthe geology. It is estimated that 50 MGD is available. The USGS study will help
quantify the resources. The goal is to develop beyond the 8 MGD estimated and the quarries are
the county's primary source. Currently, the water is supplemented by wells and Mr. Haufler
explained in detail how they identify these wells. Reservoirs are not an option at this time as the
federal and state regulations are very stringent and would be very costly for Frederick County. Since
ground water is abundant in this area and easily tapped, wells are the most economical source of
water. Concerns were addressed regarding the Frye Quarry and finding it dry, however, during a
mining operation it has to be dry to excavate and is kept bottomed out.
Mr. Anderson appeared before the board again to address the water contract negotiations with
the city as the current contract expires December 31,2000. Several options were negotiated to
include changing the service area for the city. Since no consensus was reached with this option, the
Minute Book Number 27
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 08/09/00
U26
service area discussions have been eliminated. Currently, the authority is negotiating a long term
contract of20-30 years and the cost for water is being developed. Several areas are being reviewed
to help keep county cost down. This includes the installation of water meters and water being
provided from the city to the Stephens City area. He asked for the board's cooperation in supporting
the authority's needs from the city and the need for developers to provide proffer well sites to the
Sanitation Authority.

The Planning Commission, at their regular meeting on July 5, 2000, unanimously recommended
approval of this rezoning request.
The applicant/owner Mr. Michael B. Morgan appeared before the board and advised that the
facility will be used for a mental retardation class of about 6-1 0 people and that there would be little
traffic and the program would be well supervised. He also stated that the drainfield and plumbing
was okay and that he had spent well over $20,000 on the facility for improvements. Since Frederick
County leased out a day care there at one time, he did not see how this class would be a problem at
this facility.
The following person appeared before the board in opposition ofthis request:
Derek Heishman. Back Creek District, expressed his concern that the facility would not
be very secure to hold such a program, was too close to the road, an increase in traffic would occur,
the condition of the facility was inadequate, and the septic system was inadequate which would
affect nearby wells.

Zoning Administrator Michael Ruddy presented this code amendment. The Planning
Commission, at their meeting on July 19, 2000, unanimously endorsed this code amendment and
recommended approval to the board.
The following citizens appeared before the board concerning this code amendment:
Michael Wilson. President ofthe Winchester Chapter ofthe Izaak Walton Leal!ue and
Vice President of the Lakeside Development Homeowner's Association. In representing these
two organizations, they are opposed to this code amendment. These organizations represent a
significant portion of the county population and they felt the amendments eviscerated the
environmental protection standards. He also addressed concern with the development and the
homeowner's association enforcing the restrictions.
Sam Lehman. Back Creek District, is opposed to the code amendment. He is not in favor
ofthe change in slopes :from 15% to 25% and feels amendments should be policed by the county not
the homeowners association, and not to allow extreme high density lots on small parts ofland. The
higher the density the more problems you have and also expressed concern with the large open
spaces in the R5 subdivisions.
Wayne Miller. Gainesboro District and Planninl! Commission Member, is in favor of
the code amendment and feels these changes are in the best interest of Frederick County. He feels
a lot of misinformation has been given to the public. He specifically addressed the paid
advertisement by the Izzak Walton League of America dated Friday, August 4.

Mrs. Mary Lou Koontz. Gainesboro District, is in favor of the code amendment. Believes
an age restricted community will benefit and is needed in the community, it will not require new
schools, and will bring more people in to shop and eat.
Lisa LaCivita. Onequon District, is opposed to the code amendment. Feels the
environmental protection regulations are less restrictive and is concerned with the alteration ofthe
steep slopes and design alternatives.
Pat Gochenour. Shawnee District and Vice President of Citizens for a Oualitv
Community (COC), is opposed to the code amendment. Feels there are too many unanswered
questions regarding the environmental issues and water and the amendments will only benefit a few
at the expense of many.
Kenny Stiles. Stonewall District, is not sure of the code amendment as there is some
confusion with some of the issues. He does not feel the 25 percent foot slope change is a good idea
and suggested the board go out and look at the areas. He is in favor of the age restrictions but
concerned with how it will be enforced especially in asking the homeowners association to enforce
a zoning ordinance and especially concerned with county staff checking on the ages of residents.
Charles Maddox. Vice President. G. W. Clifford and Associates. Enl:ineer for the
Shenandoah Project, feels it is a good policy to allow an age restricted community and is done all
over the country. The amendments were well thought out and a lot of time and work went into the
revlslOns.
Vickie West. Orl!anizer of Save the Water, is opposed to the code amendment. Concerned
that the amendments will affect wildlife and the water and is also concerned with the change of
slopes.
Kathy Whitesell. Back Creek District, is opposed to the code amendment. Feels the board
members needed to take more time to study the amendments and that this was an opportunity to
convey a message to the developers that it is our way or no way.
Scott Grel:ory. Back Creek District, is concerned with how the development will affect the
schools and water. How many schools will need to be built for the 20 percent that is not age
restricted.

amendments represents a step backwards instead of forward. He has some concerns with the
Minute Book Number 27

community maintaining there own roads and he feels it is time to elect the Planning Commission
members instead of being appointed by the board. He also feels an amendment is not required for
an age restricted community.
Audrev Brown. has a residence in Stephens City, is opposed to this code amendment.
Feels such an age restricted community development will not benefit the area and the environment
needs to be protected.
Rhoda Karusaitis. OueQuon District, is opposed to this code amendment. She is very
concerned about the environmental impact this development will have on the area.
Dela Bates. Opequon District, is opposed to this code amendment. Concerned that the
