Planner Tyler Klein provided background saying the proposed changes enable smaller
commercial telecommunications facilities in certain zoning districts by -right in order to enable better
internet service to underserved areas of the County (such as Shawneeland). Further, he said, the
proposed changes codify changes to the Code of Virginia, which created a two -track process for
approval of telecommunication facilities. He said the legislation treats certain, defined small scale
facilities as "administrative review -eligible projects" that a locality must permit in any zoning district,
without the requirement of a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Klein said this would enable "small cell
facilities," structures under 50-feet (FT) in height, or co -location of a wireless facility on an existing
structure to be sited administratively, and also revamps the rules for larger projects, or "standard
process projects" which would continue to be permitted through the County's Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) process.
Supervisor McCarthy asked for and received confirmation that the proposed ordinance
amendment does not change anything but rather updates County Code to conform with State
Code,
Supervisor Dunn and Mr. Klein discussed private towers and the 50' by right allowance of
such towers in certain zones.
Vice Chairman Lofton opened the public hearing.
Dave Williamson, Gainesboro District and representative of Winchester Wireless, spoke in
favor of the ordinance and asked that the Board also address the idea of personal towers that can
be used for commercial purposes to better serve areas where broadband service is unavailable.

Mollie Brannon, Stonewall District, said towers taller than 50' are needed to get internet
service when residents have tall trees.
John Jewell, Back Creek District, said the overall plan to improve internet availability needs
to be worked on with all providers to grow broadband service. He added it is wrong for amateur
(Ham) radio towers to be used for commercial purposes.
Richard Mason, Back Creek District, asked why Winchester Wireless would build towers
taller than 50' if they know the current law. He noted his concern for property values near cell
towers and warned the Board that approving towers over 50' will ruin the County's landscape.
Steve Brannon, Stonewall District, asked the Board to consider those who need some type
of tower to receive cell service.
Vice Chairman Lofton closed the public hearing.
Supervisor McCarthy moved for adoption of the proposed ordinance amending the
Frederick County Code Chapter 165 Zoning. Supervisor Wells seconded the motion which carried

§ 165-203.02. Buffer and screening requirements.
A, Distance buffers. Distance buffers are based on the nature of an activity and its proximity to
an activity of a different nature. They are linear distances measured from property lines inward.
Part of the buffer must be inactive and part may be active, The inactive portion begins at the
adjoining property line, as shown in the example diagrams,
1) Inactive distance buffer. This portion of a buffer area permits no activity except the
necessary utility functions provided by transmission lines, underground conduits,
stormwatermanWqm�en sideway gp& etc.
Minute Book 45
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of December 11, 2019

2) Active distance buffer, This portion of a buffer area may not be encroached by a
building or other principal structure or activity. However, accessory activities, such as
parking, are permitted in this area. _Acdw - -
3) Wherever proposed developments are adjacent to or within 1,000 feet of the boundaries
of existing uses, the Board of Supervisors may require increased or additional distance
buffers to separate different uses to achieve the intentions of this section.
B. Screening. Screening is designed to work with distance buffers to lessen the impact of noise
or visual interaction between adjacent activities. There are two levels of screening: landscape
screening and full screening. The higher the level of screening provided, the lower the level of
distance buffer required. The example diagrams show how this works.
1) Landscape screening. A landscape screen consists of a totally landscaped am easement
at least 10 feet in depth; plantings are encouraged to be spaced appropriately within the
inactive buffer. Within the anew there shall be a minimum landscaping density
of three plants per 10 linear feet. The buffer shall consist of a combination of 1/3
deciduous trees, 1/3 evergreen trees and 1/3 shrubs. Deciduous trees shall be planted at
a minimum of twol.25-inch caliper, evergreen trees shall be a minimum of four feet in
height, and shrubs shall be 18 inches in height at time of planting.
2) Full screen. A full screen provides all the elements of a landscape screen and also
includes a six -foot -high, opaque hedge, fence, wall, mound, berm:, orau additional
twomwsofev &cm&atarvArfeettallatdmeof lau ' . A fifty -foot strip of
mature woodlands may be allowed as a full screen.
3) Wherever proposed developments are adjacent to existing uses, the Board of
Supervisors may require additional landscaping, landscWcdateas, or landscaped
easements to separate different uses and to achieve the intentions of this section.
D. Zoning district buffers. Buffers shall be placed on land to be developed when it adjoins land
in certain different zoning districts.
1) Buffers shall be provided on the land to be developed according to the categories in the
following tables;
a) Buffer categories:
2)
Whenever
land is to be developed iv the Bl, BZ, B3, OM, Ml orAD Zoning District that is adjacent

3) The Board of Supervisors may grant a waiver to reduce the required buffer distance
requirements between land primarily used for residential purposes and the B-1
(Neighborhood, Business) or B-2 (Business, General) Zoning District with the consent
of the adjacent (affected) property owners. Should a waiver be granted by the Board of
Supervisors, the distance requirements of § 165-203,02D(1)(a) may be reduced,
provided that the full screening requirements of this section are met.
4) The Zoning Administrator may waive any or all of the requirements for the zoning
district buffers on a particular site plan when all uses shown on the site plan axe allowed
in the zoning district in which the development is occurring and in the adjoining zoning
districts.
5) The Zoning Administrator tray waive, reduce and/or modify buffer yard requirements
(distance and landscaping) if, in his opinion, the topography of the lot providing the
buffer yard and the lot being protected is such that the required yard would not be
effective. The buffer may also be modified to maintain highway sight distances.
6) Land proposed to be developed in the B3, OM, Ml or M2 Zoning District 49MAPAgge-
Gen&W
may be permitted to have a reduced buffer distance that is consistent
with the required side or rear building setback line, provided that the following
requirements are met:
a) The property to be developed with a reduced buffer distance is part of an
approved master planned industrial park.
b) There are no primary or accessory uses within the reduced buffer distance area,
including driveways, access drives, outdoor storage areas, parking areas,
staging areas, loading areas and outdoor dumpster areas. All-weather surface
fire lanes necessary to meet the requirements of Chapter 90, Fine Prevention, of
the Code of Frederick County, Virginia, shall be exempt from this performance
standard.
c) A full screen is required to be created within the reduced buffer distance area
which shall be comprised of a continuous earth berm that is six feet higher in
elevation than the highest elevation within the reduced buffer distance area and
a double row of evergreen trees that are a minimum of six feet in height and
planted a maximum of eight feet from center to center.

A Human Resources Committee meeting was held in the First Floor Conference Room at 107 North Kent
Street on Friday, November 8, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.
ATTFN ❑FFS
Committee Members Present: Blaine Dunn, Chairman; Don Butler; Dorrie Green; Doug
McCarthy; and Bob Wells.
Committee Member Absent: Beth Lewin
Staff Present: Michael Marciano, Human Resources Director; DeLois Blevins, Human Resources
Manager; Rod Williams, County Attorney; Kris Tierney, County Administrator; Jay Tibbs, Deputy

Others Present: Josh Janney, Winchester Star
ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
The Human Resources Department presented recommended changes to Frederick County
Human Resources policy regarding Workers' Compensation (Exhibit A). The intent of this policy
change is to assist individuals injured on the job who do not have enough leave to cover their loss
in wages. Furthermore, the HR Committee discussed that this policy modification would help the
County remain competitive as we try to recruit and retain employees.
Specifically, the proposed policy provides compensation protections for 90 consecutive days
beginning with the day of injury that was incurred while performing the essential duties of his or
her job at Frederick County. Such a modification will provide a level of financial assurance that
leave without pay will not have to be endured during this initial period of time. Under this policy
change, Workers' Compensation will pay for 66.67% in weekly wages and Frederick County will
pay 33.33% during the 90 consecutive days once an injury occurs on the job. The new policy will
also allow employees on Workers' Compensation leave to continue to accrue Paid Time Off (PTO)
leave.
The committee recommends approval, 3 in favor & 1 against.
ITEMS NOT REQUIRING ACTION BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
1. The Non-Discrimination/Nan-Harassment policy was discussed, and Staff will modify the policy
based upon the discussion and bring it back for further consideration at the December 13, 2019
HR Committee meeting.
2. The HR Committee entered into a closed session pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2-3711(A)(1) for
consideration of nominees for Employee of the Year. The award recipient will be recognized by
the County Administrator at the Holiday Party on December 13, 2019. The Board of Supervisors
will then recognize the employee at its first meeting in January 2020,
