May 24, 2000 Regular Meeting
532
A Worksession of the Frederick County Board of Supervisors, Comprehensive Plans and
Programs Subcommittee and County Planning Commission, to discuss the Northeast Land Use
Study, was held on May 24, 2000, at 6:00 P.M., with the Regular Meeting ofthe Board starting at
7: 15 P.M., in the Board of Supervisors' Meeting Room, County Administration Building, I 07 North
Kent Street, Winchester, Virginia.
PRESENT
Chairman Richard C. Shickle; Vice Chairman Charles W. Orndoff, Sr.; W. Harrington Smith,
Jr.; Robert M. Sager; Margaret B. Douglas; and Sidney A. Reyes.
Assistant Planning Director Evan A. Wyatt explained that the Comprehensive Plans and
Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) has established a proposed land use plan for the northeastern
portion ofthe county. The proposed land use plan and associated text have been developed to reflect
the issues that were identified during the public visioning meetings that were conducted in January
2000. The CPPS has reached a point in this process where a worksession with the Board of
Supervisors and Planning Commission would be beneficial, thus the reason for this worksession in
order to receive input and direction from both bodies.
Mr. Wyatt outlined the three significant issues that he is requesting direction on:
1). Is the proposed expansion of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and the
recommended land uses within this boundary consistent with the ideas of the Board of
Supervisors and the Planning Commission?
2). Should the recommended land uses within the SWSA be required to be developed in
conjunction with public water and sewer service?
3). Is a residential component, above and beyond the normal Rural Areas District
subdivision process, desired within the study area boundary?
Mr. Wyatt explained that the area being looked at is twice the size ofthe City of Winchester,
and that the expansion of the SWSA is the first question that needs to be answered. Mr. Wyatt
explained, by way of a map, the area that he was referring to.
County Administrator Riley questioned the land area southeast of the intersection of Old
Charles Town Road and Milburn Road (orange area) being taken out of the area considered for
future development.
Mr. Wyatt referred to another map showing what was approved in 1996.
Supervisor Reyes asked about the funding in addition to a well thought out plan to provide
water and sewer for this area.
Minute Book Number 26
Board of Supervisors Meeting of OS/24/00
53'3
Mr. Wyatt advised the Board that the committee's recommendation was for a policy of no
longer allowing the installation of private sewer package plants.
Sanitation Authority Engineer-Director Wellington Jones addressed the group at which time
he advised that there is adequate water sources in this area. He explained that due to the drought
during the past three years there has been a reduction in water availability; however, the Sanitation
Authority is currently working on additional supplies. He feels the big question is sewer and that
will be the most expensive.
Planning Director Kris Tierney asked which comes first. This has been a problem as the
county does not currently have a policy. A decision needs to be made on what needs to be
encouraged and what needs to be discouraged.
Discussion followed on the time span for build out of this area, not everyone agreed on this
figure.
Mr. Jones explained about a new standard that is being implemented called Total Maximum
Daily Loads, which means the total amount ofloading that a stream can take. He further explained
that in some localities this has stopped some development.
Chairman Shickle asked if all package treatment plants are the same.
Mr. Jones advised that private package treatment plants that are operated by individuals are
the most dangerous thing there is. Mr. Jones explained that you could have more than one package
plant for an area this size.
Mr. Tierney advised that the county does not allow for private package treatment plants to
serve more than one user.
County Administrator Riley asked about page 9 of the land use plan text and why would the
Sanitation Authority be excluded from this.
Discussion followed concerning the roll the Sanitation Authority would play in this plan and
Supervisor Smith advised that he could support an interim plant.
Mr. Wyatt advised that he would be discussing this further with Mr. Jones.
Supervisor Orndoff explained that he has some problems with package plants. He felt that
the Clearbrook Citizens for Safety group would be against this plan.
Supervisor Smith explained that the package treatment plants would be an interim step.
Chairman Shickle questioned whether this could be a condition to a rezoning request.
Minute Book Number 26
Board of Supervisors Meeting of OS/24/00
534
Discussion and questions followed regarding a residential component within the study area.
Some felt there would be area residents, those that have lived here all along, and others felt they
would be living here, but working over the mountain.
Supervisor Reyes stated that half acre lots concern him. He feels with lots this size it would
have a definite impact on the schools.
The mixing ofresidential and commercial was discussed and most felt this was good, but
added caution, to make sure the right mix is there.
Supervisor Sager cautioned the Board about too much development in an area. He feels this
has already happened in some areas of the county.
Supervisor Orndoff stated that he felt residents that are already living in the Jordon Springs,
Clearbrook and Brucetown area should be the residents served first.
The general consensus was as follows:
(I) To expand the SWSA as proposed on the land use plan map, and to maintain the future
land uses that were recommended for adoption in the 1996 plan.
(2) Require public water and sewer service for future land use development which can
include package treatment plants that are acceptable to the FCSA and are dedicated to
the FCSA for operation and maintenance.
(3) Utilize the established Rural Community Center boundaries for residential purposes to
preserve rural area land in other portions ofthe county.
Mr. Wyatt explained that this plan would be shown to the citizens ofthe county in late June
in order that they might see what has been done since January.
Planning Commissioner John Light stated that he is inclined to agree with what County
Administrator Riley said; that he feels some residential should be left in the plan.
County Administrator Riley explained that he feels it should be recognized for what it is and
be left in, for eventually it is going to happen.
Chairman Shickle stated that he felt it was not a sure vote from the Board that it should be
taken out all together and dealt with later.
Supervisor Douglas advised that she agreed with Administrator Riley.
Supervisor Reyes also agrees, but concerned about negative impact.
Supervisor Sager asked where do you draw the line, as there are those who are already
experiencing sewer problems.
Economic Development Director June Wilmot addressed the area of residential and the many
Minute Book Number 26
Board of Supervisors Meeting of OS/24/00
535
fine examples of fine housing, as well as fine commercial development that has been incorporated
within the county. She feels it is all tied together and the economic issue is the driver for their
purposes.
Committee Member Mark Stivers stated that since this is such an important issue, he wonders
if perhaps this should not be revisited one more time. He realizes there is a time limit, but also
realizes the importance of this very important issue.

Chairman Shickle called the meeting to order.

draft ordinance are not being provided due to their length and previous provision. Should you
require another copy. please contact Teresa Price.)
Fire Marshal Dennis Linaburg provided the draft Article on Fire Prevention to the committee
for review. After discussion that the article takes the State Code as a base and modifies it to meet the
needs of Frederick County, the committee raised the following concerns: 1.) Section 90-1 through
90-6: Is this section exactly from the State Code?; 2.) F-104.2.1.2: this section possibly creates an
enforcement problem, as it is vague and possibly unconstitutional; 3.) Does the article provide the
Fire Marshal the authority to establish and annual inspection and the fee structure to support this?
The committee recommended that the draft article be amended to address the discussed concerns,
and that written comments and an opinion from Larry Ambrogi be provided through the same
method recommended for the Solid Waste Draft Ordinance.
