The ADAC will discuss the following agenda items: AGENDA 1) Discussion and recommendation regarding the revision of the 2005-2010 South Frederick Agricultural & Forestal District. 2) Discussion and recommendation regarding the revision of the 2005-2010 Double Church Agricultural & Forestal District. 3) Discussion and recommendation regarding the revision of the 2006-2010 Red Bud Agricultural & Forestal District. Please contact our department if you are unable to attend this meeting. Thank you. BSS/bad Staff has been directed to advise all committee members that access to the County Administration Building for night meetings that do not occur in the Board Room will be limited to the back door of the four-story wing. I would encourage committee members to park in the county parking lot located behind the new addition or in the Joint Judicial Center parking lot and follow the sidewalk to the back door of the four-story wing. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 292 • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 ITEM -1 #1 Proposed Update of the 2005-2010 South Frederick Agricultural & Forestal District The South Frederick Agricultural & Forestal District was renewed in May of 2005 for a five (5) year period; the new expiration date will be May 2010. The District currently comprises 123 parcels; 6,205.29 acres, among 56 property owners. Since that time, three (3) parcels (123.05 acres) have been submitted to be added to the District, and four (4) parcels (450.33 acres) applied to be removed from this District. According to Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300 of the Code of Virginia, any addition or withdrawal request must first be reviewed by the Agricultural District Advisory Committee. The ADAC will then submit a recommendation to be presented at a public hearing before the Planning Commission. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves, approves with modifications, or denies the Agricultural & Forestal District proposal. During the renewal process in 2005, the following four (4) parcels had asked to be removed from the South Frederick Agricultural District, but were incorrectly left in. These parcels are tax map numbers 73-A-31, 73-A-101, 84-A-29, and 84-A-50, totaling to 450.33 acres. LOCA'T'ION AND SIZE: This proposal is to add 3 parcels (tax map numbers: 62-A-34, 74-A-1OA, and 74-A-IOF) to the South Frederick Agricultural & Forestal District. The proposed additions will total 123.05 acres, and managed by (two) 2 property owners. This will bring the total amount of acreage within the District to 5,878.01 acres. AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The predominantly agricultural operations within the proposed additions are livestock, hay and crop harvesting. These parcels are rural in nature. LAND USE: All parcels proposed for inclusion are in agricultural use. All parcels surrounding the proposed additions are agricultural or residential use. COMIPREHENSIVE. PIAN: The proposed additions to the District lie outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer Water Service Area (SWSA). The parcels have no land use designation, which indicates the area should remain rural. The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County's economy, and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the UDA. The Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in Agricultural & Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the proposed addition to the South Frederick District, for it provides an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land until May 20 10. ZONING: All three parcels seeking inclusion into the South Frederick Agricultural & Forestal District are currently zoned RA — Rural Areas Zoning District. The properties surrounding the proposed additions are also zoned RA. EA IKS/POl` DS/STREAMS: The proposed additions lie within the Opequon Creek and Stephens Run drainage area. The inclusion of these parcels will further assist with managing the quality of the County's water resources. PRIME AGRICULTURE SOIL: There are abundant prime agricultural soils located within the vicinity of the South Frederick District. The proposed additions contain Frederick-Poplimento loams, at 2 to 7% slopes. These soils are very deep, gently sloping, and well drained on narrow to broad, convex valley sides. Permeability is moderate in the Frederick soil and moderately slow in the Poplimento soil. The available water capacity is moderate in both soils. Surface runoff is medium. The erosion hazard is moderate. The surface layer is friable and easily tilled. Natural fertility is medium, and organic matter content is low. These soils are well suited to cultivated crops, hay and pasture. STAFF COMMENTS: Based on the above information, staff feels that these proposed additions to the South Frederick Agricultural & Forestal District are agriculturally significant as outlined in the Agricultural & Forestal District Act. Furthermore, the addition to this District would conform to the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan. If the Agricultural District is revised as described above, the new South Frederick Agricultural & Forestal District would total 5,878.01 acres, and include 122 parcels, and 57 property owners. AGPdCULTURE D`+ISTR:ICT AD*,'ISO;RY COMMIT'T'EE: A recommendation on the addition and withdrawal requests of this District to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors is requested.

The District currently comprises 20 parcels; 760.16 acres, among 14 property owners. Since that time, eight (8) parcels (203.16 acres) have been submitted to be added to the District, including one that was incorrectly removed from the District in 2005. According to Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300 of the Code of Virginia, any addition or withdrawal request must first be reviewed by the Agricultural District Advisory Committee. The ADAC will then submit a recommendation to be presented at a public hearing before the Planning Commission. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves, approves with modifications, or denies the Agricultural & Forestal District proposal. LOCA'T'ION ANTI SIZE,: This proposal is to add eight (8) parcels (tax map numbers: 85 -A -139A, 86-A-25, 86 -A -25A, 86- A-33, 86 -A -35A, 86-A-38, 86-A-71, and 86 -A -71B) to the Double Church Agricultural & Forestal District. The proposed additions total 203.16 acres. This will bring the total amount of acreage within the District to 963.32 acres. AGRICULTURAL ANIS FORESTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The predominantly agricultural operations within the proposed additions are livestock and cultivation of hay. These parcels are rural in nature. LAND USE: All parcels proposed for inclusion are in agricultural use. All parcels surrounding the proposed additions are agricultural or residential use. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The proposed additions to the District lie outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer Water Service Area (SWSA). The parcels have no land use designation, which indicates the area should remain rural. However, two parcels are located within the vicinity of the proposed Warrior Drive extension, as identified in the County's Eastern Road Plan. They are tax map numbers 86-A-71 and 86 -A -71B, along Double Church Road. Careful thought must be taken into consideration when reviewing these applications. Previous actions by the Board of Supervisors have discouraged inclusion of properties that my conflict with the adopted Comprehensive Policy Plan; the Eastern Road Plan is a component of the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County's economy, and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the UDA. The Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in Agricultural & Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the proposed addition to the Double Church District, with the exceptions of the above mentioned parcels. The requests will provide an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land until May 2010. ZONING: All eight parcels are currently zoned RA — Rural Areas Zoning District. The properties surrounding the proposed additions are zoned RA to the east, south, and west, and zoned RP — Residential Performance, to the north. LAKES/PONDS/STREAMS: The proposed additions lie within the Stephens Run drainage area. The inclusion of these parcels will further assist with managing the quality of the County's water resources. PRIME AGRICULTURE SOIL: There are abundant prime agricultural soils located within the vicinity of the South Frederick District. The proposed additions contain Blairton silt loams, at 2 to 7% slopes. This soil is moderately deep, gently sloping, and moderately well drained to somewhat poorly drained. Permeability is moderate slow. The available water capacity is low. Surface runoff is medium. The erosion hazard is moderate. Tilth is fair, but the soil breaks up into clods if tilled when too wet or too dry. Natural fertility and organic matter content are low. This soil is moderately well suited to cultivated crops if drainage is installed. STAFF COMMENTS: Based on the above information, staff feels that these proposed additions to the Double Church Agricultural & Forestal District are agriculturally significant as outlined in the Agricultural & Forestal District Act. With exception to the two aforementioned parcels in the path of the future Warrior Drive extension, the addition to this District would conform to the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan. If this Agricultural District is revised as described above, the new Double Church Agricultural & Forestal District would total 937.22 acres, including 26 parcels, and 17 property owners.

The District currently comprises 42 parcels; 834.98 acres, among 23 property owners. Since that time, nine (9) parcels (68.59 acres) have been submitted to be added to the District. According to Chapter 43, Section 15.2-4300 of the Code of Virginia, any addition or withdrawal request must first be reviewed by the Agricultural District Advisory Committee. The ADAC will then submit a recommendation to be presented at a public hearing before the Planning Commission. Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors approves, approves with modifications, or denies the Agricultural & Forestal District proposal. LOCATION AND SIZE: This proposal is to add nine (9) parcels (tax map numbers: 44 -A -28B, 44 -A -28H, 55-A-177, 55- A-178, 55 -A -178A, 55-A-179, 55 -A -181A, 55 -A -181B, and 55 -A -182D) to the Red Bud Agricultural & Forestal District. The proposed additions total 68.59 acres. This will bring the total amount of acreage within the District to 903.57 acres. AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The predominantly agricultural operations within the proposed additions are livestock, and cultivation of hay. These parcels are rural in nature. LAND USE: All parcels proposed for inclusion are in agricultural use. All parcels surrounding the proposed additions are agricultural or residential use. COYIP + IIENSIVE PLAN: Parcels 44 -A -28B and 44 -A -28H lie outside the Urban Development Area (UDA) and Sewer Water Service Area (SWSA). The area is located within the Northeast Land Use Plan. A portion of the two properties are designated as a Developmentally Sensitive Area. Both parcels have no land use designation, which indicates the area should remain rural. The remaining 7 parcels (55-A-177, 55-A-178, 55 -A -178A, 55-A-179, 55 -A -181A, 55 -A -181B, and 55 -A -182D) are located inside the UDA and SWSA, along Valley Mill Road. The UDA and SWSA are envisioned to be more urban in character. The UDA defines the general area in which more intensive forms of residential development will occur. The Eastern Frederick County Long Range Land Use Plan identifies these parcels for future residential growth. Expanding the Red Bud Agricultural & Forestal District into one of the more dense sectors of the County in not compatible with the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan. The intent of the Rural Areas is to maintain agriculture as a significant portion of the County's economy, and to maintain the rural character of areas outside of the UDA. The Comprehensive Plan can accomplish this by promoting the inclusion of additional land in Agricultural & Forestal Districts. The Comprehensive Plan supports the proposed addition to the Red Bud District, with the exceptions of the above mentioned parcels, which are in the UDA. The requests will provide an opportunity for the agribusiness community to conduct long range planning efforts for the management of their operations, while providing a reserve of agricultural land through the year 2010. Tax map parcel numbers 44 -A -28B and 44 -A -28H are zoned RA — Rural Areas. The property to the north is zoned R4 — Residential, Planned Community District. The properties to the east, south, and west are zoned RA. Tax map parcel numbers 55-A-177, 55-A-178, 55 -A -178A, 55-A-179, 55 -A -181A, 55 -A -181B are zoned RA. Tax map parcel number 55 -A -182D is zoned RP — Residential Performance. These properties are surrounded by RP zoning on all sides. LAI ES/PONDS/STR-EAMS: The proposed additions lie within the Redbud Run and Abrams Creek drainage areas. The inclusion of these parcels will further assist with managing the quality of the County's water resources. PRIME AORICULTURL SOIL: There is a small amount of prime agricultural soils located along Valley Mill Road. The proposed additions contain Massanetta loam. This gently sloping, well drained soil has a silty clay loam surface and a clay subsoil layer. Permeability of this soil is slow and the available water capacity is moderate. Tilth is fair and the soil is medium in natural fertility. The subsoil is very plastic and has a high shrink -swell potential. This soil has rock outcrops and is a factor in the use of this soil. This soil has a fair potential for farming. STAFF COMMIENTS: Based on the above information, staff feels that these proposed additions to the Red Bud Agricultural & Forestal District are agriculturally significant as outlined in the Agricultural & Forestal District Act. With exception to the seven aforementioned parcels in the UDA, the addition to this District would conform to the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan. If this Agricultural District is revised as described above, the new Red Bud Agricultural & Forestal District would total 865.53 acres, including 44 parcels, and 25 property owners. AGRICUL,'I UKE DISTRICT ADV T,S R V CO M-ITTE E: A recommendation on the addition requests of this District to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors is requested.
