CAPITAL FACILITIES IMPACT MODEL UPDATE - POSTPONED

back to the Board until July 2000.
Assistant Planning Director Evan Wyatt presented this update to the Board wherein he
explained that according to the minutes of the Board this update was to be brought back annually
starting with July of 1999.
Extensive discussion followed between the Board and staff as to each others understanding
as to when this impact model update was to be implemented.
Commissioner ofthe Revenue Ellen Murphy appeared before the Board to explain how her
office had worked with Mr. Wyatt to provide figures on assessment values within the county that
was used in his update.
Planning Director Kris Tierney explained that he felt the Board should decide ifthey wanted
the most accurate up to date figures, and if so, then this report should be as of July 1999, otherwise
the figures will be a year old on July 2000.
The consensus of the Board was to table this update until a later Board meeting.
DISCUSSION OF SINGLE FAMILY SENIOR HOUSING AMENDMENT - FOR
INFORMATION ONLY
Zoning Administrator Mike Ruddy presented this information to the Board. He explained
it was for their information and discussion at this time. He further explained that the proposed
housing amendment has been revised in an effort to combine patio homes with the proposed senior
housing to form a single housing type referred to as Single Family Small Lots. As proposed by staff,
the housing type would not be limited to elderly housing but would require additional amenities if
this smaller lot size were used. He explained that the amendment enhances the existing RP
(Residential Performance) requirements and provides additional flexibility within the Ordinance.
More importantly, administration and enforcement of the ordinance would be much simpler.
The general consensus of the Board was that they were in agreement with the proposal and
Board of Supervisors Meeting of 08/25/99

felt that staff and the developer should be able to work any obstacles out. This will be going back

as a public hearing item at a future meeting.

CDB GRANT FUNDS TO BE RETURNED TO STATE AS H. P. HOOD, INC. WILL
CONSTRUCT, OWN, AND OPERATE THEIR OWN WASTEWATER
PRETREATMENT FACILITY - APPROVED
County Administrator Riley explained that Frederick County was unsure at the time of
Hood's announcement as to the company's plans for ownership of the wastewater pretreatment
facility; thus the reason for applying for the CDB Grant. He further explained that once plans were
finalized, Hood determined it would own and operate the facility. Knowing that the grant funds
must be returned to the Department of Housing and Community Development, plus interest at a rate
of 4. 75% annually on unpaid principal and interest; therefore, returning the grant to the Department
of Housing and Community Development would be the most cost effective solution.

will be returned to the Department of Housing and Community Development as stated above.

trailer operation to the list of home occupations. It was her request to have this added so as to rectify
the problem of destruction of her property currently occurring by a neighbor's tractor-trailer
operation. It was determined that the destruction of property issue was not within the

owners. After thorough discussion, the committee recommended that staff request someone from
