REQUEST BY WESLEY HOUSING — RESOLUTION FOR A LOCAL HOUSING REVITALIZATION
AREA (PIN#: 54-A-128) - POSTPONED
John Foote, of Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh P.C., explained the request for the Frederick
County Board of Supervisors to pass a resolution designating the St. Paul's on the Hill property, PIN
54-A-128, as a local housing revitalization zone. He said a local housing revitalization zone is created
by resolution of the local governing body pursuant to the Code of Virginia and the Virginia Housing
Development Authority VHDA criteria, noting that the second category referencing encouraging
economic development and a desired mix of housing are applicable to the current request. He said
Wesley Housing is seeking Low Income Tax Credits administered through the Virginia Housing
Development Authority to assist with the development of this project, and this designation of a local

Board of Supervisors Meeting of 119/19

housing revitalization zone would be beneficial to the applicant as it would potentially enable the
allocation of additional points to their VHDA application.
Rosa Estrada, of Wesley Housing, explained the funding process and the need for a project to
be competitive to receive the tax credits.
Paul Brown, of Wesley Housing, said no one wants to suggest that the County is blighted by
designating a revitalization area. He cited other localities that have benefited from the use of tax credits
for redevelopment. He asked for the Board's careful consideration.
Supervisor Slaughter and Mr. Foote discussed revising the language of the proposed
resolution to delete references to the property being blighted.
Supervisor McCarthy and Ms. Estrada discussed the result if tax credits are not awarded. Ms.
Estrada said Wesley Housing will reapply in 2020 if tax credits are not awarded this year. She said the
project will not move forward without financing or credits.
Supervisor Dunn said he was not currently prepared to move forward with supporting the
resolution designating the property as a revitalization zone.
Vice Chairman Lofton said he voted against the project originally and now is more
uncomfortable with it. He questioned why the project was not financed in the beginning. Supervisor
Dunn said the Applicant had previously noted the financing would be via the tax credits.
Supervisor McCarthy said he supports delaying action on the resolution. He said the request
asks the Board to tip the scales in favor of one development project over another, adding there is no
need to induce development in this particular geographic area.
Supervisor Dunn moved to postpone consideration of the request until the January 23 Board
meeting. Supervisor Wells seconded the motion which carried as follows:

SITE PLAN (SUBDIVISION) #22-18 SPRING RUN —15-LOT TOWNHOUSE SUBDIVISION —
Presented for Information
Planner Tyler Klein provided background on the item saying this application is for a subdivision
design plan for fifteen (15) single-family attached (townhouses) units with a minimum lot size of 1,936+/-
square feet planned to be constructed on 1.88+1- acres of land zoned RA (Rural Areas) District with RP
(Residential Performance) District standards via Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) credits. He
said the proposed subdivision will be accessed from Senseny Road (Route 657) via a private internal
road (Coralyrose Court). He continued saying although the property is presently zoned RA (Rural
Areas) District, the Applicant will utilize the County's Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program
to develop additional lots with RP (Residential Performance) District standards and the Applicant has
purchased 10 TDR credits from Sending Area #3 which has a value of 1.5 residential units per credit
for a total of 15 units (10 credits x 1.5 SFA units =15 units allowed). Mr. Klein said the Applicant also
previously received a waiver of the Master Development Plan (MDP) requirement on June 13, 2018
Minute Book 44
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 119/19
County of Frederick, Virginia
161
and has chosen to process a subdivision design plan (site plan) in lieu of the MDP. When processing
a subdivision design plan in lieu of the MDP, the application must be presented to the Planning
Commission and to the Board of Supervisors as an informational item. He concluded saying this
proposed subdivision, Spring Run, generally meets the requirements of the Frederick County Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinances and is in a form that it is administratively approvable. He added that any
of the issues brought forth by the Board of Supervisors should be appropriately addressed by the
Applicant, and the item is being presented as an informational item and following its presentation to the
Planning Commission and to the Board of Supervisors, Staff will proceed with approval of the plan.
Vice Chairman Lofton asked for clarification on the MRS coming from a sending area
rather than a receiving area.
Supervisor Dunn asked for the approximate value of the proposed homes. The Applicant,
Jeremy Tweedie, replied the value will be determined at the time of construction. He noted a similar
development in the area has homes starting in the $240,000 to $300,000 range.
Supervisor Dunn commented that this is an example of a time when the Board cannot act,
but he is troubled by the matter of transferring development rights from one area to another and
still costing the County. He said he would prefer that the impact of new development be borne by
the developer.
BOARD LIAISON REPORTS
Supervisor Trout provided an update on recent activities of Frederick Water.
Supervisor Wells provided an update on the Parks and Recreation Commission. He
praised the recent holiday light show held at Clear Brook Park. He invited everyone to visit
Frederick Heights Park to see the recent improvements and recognized the effort of Supervisor
Dunn to encourage the revitalization and updates in Frederick Heights Park. He said the
community is enjoying the improved Park.
Supervisor Dunn noted the grand reopening of the Frederick Heights Park, and praised
the work done by Parks and Recreation staff. He also commended the staff at the Clear Brook
Park for their success with the holiday light show.
Supervisor Dunn recognized Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
John Wright, Red Bud District, and President of the Frederick County Professional
Firefighter Association asked the Board to support legislation in the Virginia General Assembly to
add certain cancers to the list of cancers that are presumed to be an occupational disease covered
by the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act when firefighters and certain employees develop cancer.
The legislation would also remove the compensability requirement that the employee who develops

cancer had contact with a toxic substance encountered in the line of duty, meaning the firefighter
would not have to specifically identify what specific toxic exposures have occurred at each fire or
prove the exact carcinogen on the exact day that caused their cancer. He asked the Board for its
support of the legislation.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
Supervisor Trout expressed concern about the upcoming budget cycle meeting schedule
and asked if any of the meetings could be moved to a day other than Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. or
later. She apologized for her difficult schedule. Supervisor McCarthy said he may be able to move
a couple of meetings adding that any changes will affect other commitments and obligations.
Supervisor McCarthy said Gainesboro District has been affected by the enormous amount
of rain this past year causing numerous road deterioration issues. He said he is regularly getting
calls from constituents asking about requesting VDOT assistance with road repair, He commended
the County Transportation staff for their efforts as the liaison in communicating with VDOT.
Supervisor Dunn suggested additional potential meeting dates be sent out to facilitate
rescheduling meetings to assist Supervisor Trout.
