ITEM #1
JOHN T. SOLENBERGER TRUST
REQUEST FOR REMOVAL
Please find attached a request dated January 9, 2004, submitted by the John T. Solenberger Trust,
for the removal of Parcels 63-((A))-1 and 63-((A))-1A from the South Frederick Agricultural and
Forestal District. The South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District was established in 1980
and has been renewed four times. The most recent renewal of this district occurred in March
2000 for a period of five years. Currently, 11,451.94 acres are contained in this district, which is
located fully within the Back Creek Magisterial District.
The John T. Solenberger Trust desires to remove the referenced parcels from the South Frederick
Agricultural and Forestal District, which total 184.15 acres. The property owner notes that this
request was prompted by the recent adoption of the West Jubal Early Land Use Plan (WJELUP),
which calls for suburban residential and mixed use development on land located north and
adjacent to the subject acreage. Indeed, removal from the South Frederick Agricultural and
Forestal District is necessary to begin planning efforts for the subject acreage that may ultimately
result in its inclusion within the county’s Urban Development Area (UDA). Section 15.2-4314
of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, provides property owners with the ability to request
removal of land from an agricultural and forestal district through a public process through the
local governing body.
Staff will present mapping during the committee meeting which delineates the location of this
acreage and its proximity to other land within the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal
District. Staff requests that the Agricultural District Advisory Committee consider this request
and forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for
final determination regarding this matter.
