PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION (#038-99) APPROVING THE 1999 PRIMARY
ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN - APPROVED
18E?
Planner II Michael Ruddy presented this plan which establishes priorities for improvements
to the interstate and arterial road network within Frederick County. The approved plan will be
presented to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for funding consideration and will be held on
Friday, March 19, 1999, at the Augusta County Government Center.
Supervisor Sager stated that he understood the Route 277/642 intersection will be engineered
to comply with the 1-81 improvements in order that there will not be any rebuilding when 1-81 is
widened. The improvements will be locked in. He also reported that in a recent V ACo newsletter
he read, legislation was passed directing localities and governing bodies to be included in road
improvements.
Supervisor Smith asked that the minutes reflect a conversation he had with the Department
of Transportation' s Resident Engineer Jerry Copp regarding Route 642. Even though improvements
to this route are in the county's Secondary Road Improvement Plan, it will be involved in the Primary
Road Improvement Plan. He has been assured that Route 642 will go across 1-81 to Route 11
somewhere near the Opequon. If the 1-81 improvement project comes first, Route 642 improvements
will be included. Should the Route 37 Bypass improvements come first, then the Route 642
improvements will be incorporated in this project.
The chairman called for public comment on this proposed plan and the following comment
was received:
ClitTCrowder. Gainesboro District: He is in favor of the Commuter Park and Ride Lots
being considered as a high priority. He works in the Washington, D.C. area and participates in a van
pool and available park;ng for personal vehicles is becoming a critical issue.
Upon motion made by W. Harrington Smith, Jr., seconded by Margaret B. Douglas, the 1999
Primary Road Improvement Plan (filed in the Frederick County Planning and Development Office)
was approved as prcsel1ted by the following recorded vote:
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
Richard C. Shlckle - Aye
W. Harringtol1 Smith, Jr. - Aye
Margaret B Douglas - Aye
Robert M. Sii~er - Aye

Crossing subdivision in the Shawnee Magisterial District, property ill numbers 64-A-117 and 64-A-
119. The Planning Commission, at their meeting of February 17, 1999, recommended approval of
this request contingent upon the applicant's ability to adequately address all comments or concerns
of the Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors, as well as any technical comments of all

Development Plan was presented to the board for approval. The primary issues of concern are road
connectors with future phases. Currently, there is only one access to Senseny Road. Before any
other phases are approved, another access would have to be developed to Route 50 or Senseny Road
and this would have to come back to the board.

Master Development Plan #01-99 for Oakdale Crossing II was approved, as presented, by the

REOUEST TO SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A PROPOSED
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ESTABLISHING REDUCED FRONT YARD
SETBACKS FOR PROTECTIVE ENTRANCE CANOPIES - APPROVED
Zoning Adm'nistrator Eric Lawrence presented this request. This zoning ordinance
189
amendment would allow the placement of protective entrance canopies and, associated support
structures within the front yard setback areas. Areas that might utilize this proposed amendment
include funeral homes, schools, churches, day care facilities, and libraries. A 20-foot canopy setback
is being proposed by staff that would allow for a canopy to cover what would commonly be parking
spaces or driveways. The setback would also maintain an area that would be structure-free and future
road widening projects would not be complicated by the placement of structures within the areas
necessary to expand right-of-ways.
Mr. Stephen Gyurisin with G.W. Clifford & Associates, appeared before the board to address
questions. He advised the board that this amendment would apply to all buildings as long as the 20-
foot setback requirements could be met.
The board had no objections to scheduling this zoning ordinance amendment for public
hearing.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT - MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23. 1999-
APPROVED UNDER CONSENT AGENDA
The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, February 23, 1999, at 7:30 a.m. All members
were present except Jim Wilson.
The following items were discussed and require action by the board:
1. Relocation of Back Creek (Gainesboro) Compactor Site
For the past two (2) years, we have attempted to locate another site in the vicinity of
Gainesboro to accommodate a citizens' convenience area. Unfortunately, our efforts have proven
fruitless. Recently, we were approached by several of the newly elected directors of the Summit
subdivision with the idea oflocating a convenience area on property owned by the Summit.
As a result of their inquiry, we have located a site which would be ideal for a citizens'
convenience area because of excellent road access and availability of three-phase power.
Consequently, we are recommending that the funding currently provided for the relocation of the
Round Hill convenience site be reallocated to the development of a new site at the Summit. This
approach would allow us to close the existing Gainesboro site which is partially located on a Virginia
Department of Transportation right-of-way and cannot be expanded to accommodate fencing.
The new site will be fenced and screened. A multi-year lease and a site plan will be required
before we commence construction.
A motion was made by W. Harrington Smith, Jr. and seconded by Tom Offutt to approve this
change in priority with the stipulation that no additional funds will be required beyond the allocation
in the current FY 98/99 budget. The motion was unanimously approved.
The followinJ .tems were discussed and submitted for the board's information only:
1. Update 0'1 ShawneeLand Dam
The director of public works provided the committee with a brief update concerning the
emergency grouting efforts and hydraulic improvements at the ShawneeLand dam site. The recent
discovery of a sinkhole within the reservoir has prompted the staff to engage the services of
Hayward-Baker, Inc., a specialty contractor who specializes in compaction grouting. Their crew has
been mobilized to grout the voids which have developed under the dam's foundation. It is hopeful
that the grouting program will eliminate a majority of the leakage which was occurring through the
left abutment.
The lake level has been drawn down at least 20 feet to accommodate the grouting program.
To facilitate futur(' ~raw-down efforts which do not require extensive pumping, staff has
recommended the instalhtion of a multi-stage siphon system. Ricketts Construction Company, Inc.
has been contracted tc install this system as soon as possible to take advantage of the low water level.
2. Revised ~did Waste Ordinance
The public \","orks staff is in the process of revising the existing solid waste ordinance.
191
Because of the changes at the state level within the last ten (10) years, it will be necessary to
completely rewrite our current ordinance. It is anticipated that a draft of the revised ordinances will
be available for the April committee meeting.
3. New Stormwater Ordinance
A new stormwater ordinance is currently being drafted by staff with the assistance ofan ad-
hoc committee consisting of members from the construction, development, design and environmental
communities. It is hopeful that input from these diversified areas will minimize negative comments
and provide a useful document for addressing stormwater issues related to new development in
Frederick County. It is anticipated that a draft of this ordinance will be available for the April
committee meeting.
4. New Library Desien
A preliminary design of the new Lakeside Library was presented for the committee's
comments. Generally, the committee indicated that they were not impressed by the exterior design.
Most members indicated that the design appeared to resemble a "Chicken house." More favorable
comments were made about the interior layout. The library board has maintained that they want a
single level design to minimize operation costs even though a multi-story building would be more cost
effective to build. The sketches provided by the architect will be presented to the board of
supervisors during their February 24, 1999, meeting to obtain their reaction to the design.
5. Miscellaneous Reports
,
a. Tonnage Report (see Attachment 1);
b. Recycling Report (see Attachment 2);
c. Animal Shelter Cat Report (see Attachment 3); and
d. Animal Shelter Dog Report (see Attachment 4).
