CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Catlett at 3:25 p.m.
On a motion by Mr. Shenk and seconded by Mr. Perry, the minutes for the June 20, 2006
meeting were unanimously approved as presented.
Chairman Catlett asked Mr. Cheran the cut-off date for the next meeting. Mr. Cheran replied
that Friday, July 21, 2006, is the cut-off date.
PUBLIC MEETING — OLD BUSINESS
Variance Request #11-06 for Funkhouser Lots, Lot 35, submitted by Artz and Associates, PLC,
for a 40' side yard variance on both sides. This property is located at 113 Callaway Court, and is
identified with Property Identification Number 76A-1-35 in the Shawnee Magisterial District.
ACTION — VARIANCE DENIED
Mr. Henry gave the staff report. This item was before the Board last month. As a brief overview, Mr.
Henry stated there is an existing house on the property. The setbacks for the property would require it to be
60 feet off Callaway Court as well as 60 feet off Route 522. The side property lines are the issue today and
what's being requested for the variance. They need 50 feet on both sides and they're asking for a 40 foot
variance on both side yards. The applicant did mention they would be willing to drop it down to 35 feet if the
Board wishes. If these setbacks were approved, they would change to 10 feet on both side yards.
Chairman Catlett said to clarify this, there is an existing house on the lot presently that is being occupied
as a residence. Mr. Henry replied yes.
Ms. Mather asked if it has well and septic and Mr. Henry stated he believes it's outside of sewer and

water.
Mr. Mike Artz, who is representing the property owner, approached the podium. Mr. Artz stated the lot
is just under 8,000sf. Some additional information has come to light since the last meeting. Mr. Artz did go
out and locate the house and the existing house is partially located on Lots 35 and 36; it straddles the property
line. The house is definitely going to be demolished; there's no way the existing house could be utilized to be
rebuilt within the same building footprint. Mr. Artz further stated that he had amended the request from a 40
foot variance to a 35 foot variance, and that still stands. He is requesting a 35 foot variance, leaving 15 foot
side yards, which would leave exactly 20 feet of building area.
Chairman Catlett stated that the concern she has is whether it actually meets the definition of the
hardship that this Board is faced with complying with. Mr. Artz stated that the existing house does straddle
the property line with Lots 35 and 36 and Lot 36 was approved at the last meeting.
Mr. Perry asked Mr. Cheran if this request is denied, what would the outcome be with the house
straddling the lot line. Mr. Cheran stated if it's denied, the variance approved on Lot 36 comes into play and
will be affected. Mr. Perry stated that the Board didn't know about this issue at the last meeting.
Chairman Catlett stated that when the plat was brought in on Lot 36, all they showed was the proposed
structure for the variance request. They did not show any other structure that was existing on that lot.
Mr. Perry stated that as a matter of record, why doesn't the existing house show, what portion of it, is on
the plat for Lot 35?
Mr. Cheran replied the current plat shows the proposed dwelling and that's what we usually request.
We should have had the original plat.
Mr. Artz stated the intention has always been to demolish the existing house so he felt that it wasn't
important to show it. He sees, in retrospect, that he should have put it on and he will make sure that due
diligence will apply in the future and he will show all existing structures.
After discussion among Board members, Mr. Artz clarified that the existing house does have water and
sewer and this lot will be accessing Callaway Court. Mr. Artz further stated that as far as the Board action on
Lot 36, the existing house is going to be demolished one way or the other. If this variance is denied, Lot 35
will not be a building lot.
Mr. Scott asked Mr. Artz if the owner of the property would consider consolidating the two lots, 35 and
36, rather than having two 20 foot wide homes. Mr. Artz stated that is a distinct possibility. He has not been
instructed to offer that now, but it's very likely that it might happen because a 20 foot wide house is fairly
small. It's basically a townhouse. But at this point, the request is to look at this lot by itself, but in all
likelihood, they will probably come back with a request for two lots versus three lots.
Mr. Wells made a motion to accept the request for variance #11-06 with the 35 foot side yard setbacks.
Mr. Shenk seconded the motion. By majority vote, this variance was denied.

PUBLIC HEARING
Variance Request #14-06 for Gregory Rinard for a 54' front yard variance and a 29' side yard
variance on both sides. This property is located at 5978 Valley Pike (Route 11), and is identified
with Property Identification Number 85-A-31 in the Back Creek Magisterial District.
ACTION — VARIANCE APPROVED
Mr. Henry gave the staff report. This property was created in 1954. Frederick County adopted
performance zoning in 1967. The Frederick County historical zoning map shows this property was zoned A-1
(Agricultural Limited) in 1967. The property setback lines at the adoption of the zoning ordinance were 35'
for the front and 15' sides. Frederick County amended its Ordinance in 1989 to change the rural zoning
districts to the current RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District, making the current setbacks for the property 60' to
the front, 50' to the rear, and 50' on both sides.
The Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309(2), states that no variance shall be authorized by the Board
unless it finds that a) strict application of the Ordinance would produce an undue hardship; b) that such
hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity; and c)
that the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and that the
character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance
Mr. Henry further stated that the applicant is seeking a variance of six feet in the front and 21 feet on
both side yards to build a residential structure of approximately 1,494.5 square feet in size. Should this
variance be granted, the building setbacks for this property would be 54 feet in the front, 50 feet in the back
and 29 feet on both sides. It appears that this variance meets the intent of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-
2309(2). This request from the current setbacks of the RA zoning district maybe justified.
Ms. Mather asked where the driveway will access from and Mr. Henry stated it will be from Route 11.
Mr. Greg Rinard approached the podium and identified himself as the owner of the property in question.
Mr. Rinard stated that the Health Department has approved the site in the back of the lot for a three bedroom
perc. The driveway would be very simple to extend. There is a level driveway going into the property and to
the back lot, there's a gradual slope. The purpose of this request is to build a retirement house for his mother
and perhaps, someday, they would move into it for their retirement.
Chainnan Catlett asked Mr. Rinard if he lives on Lot 13. Mr. Rinard responded their house is actually
on Lot 14 and maybe part of Lot 13. The driveway is on Lot 13.
Chairman Catlett asked if anyone else is present who would like to speak and no one responded. She
asked if anyone who is opposed to the request who would like to speak.
Mr. Julian Marple approached the podium. Mr. Marple is the son of Letha Marple, who lives next door.
Mr. Marple opposes this variance because it would change the character of the district, the surrounding
property values, and the proposed drainfield would push the house toward the front of the lot next to his
mother.
Minute Book Page 1393
re eric County oar o 7 -offing Appeals
Minutes of July y8, 2006
Mr. Elton Mangum owns the property to the north of the Rinards. Mr. Mangum opposes this variance
because of the parking situation. There will be one driveway going into the Rinard's home, then another
driveway going to the proposed house. He's also concerned about the drainage from thunderstorms and snow
melting.
Ms. Sue Teal, an adjoining property owner, also opposes the variance. One of Ms. Teal's concerns is if
the variance is granted, the Board will be setting a precedent.
Chairman Catlett stated that actions taken by this Board are not considered to set precedent.
Mr. Rinard stated he would like to address some concerns that were brought up. Mr. Rinard has a letter
from the Health Department stating, "an acceptable site for a three bedroom shallow place drip irrigation
sewage disposal system has been located on the subject property". The distance from the front of the
proposed house to Mr. Marple's outbuilding is 79 feet. The distance from the proposed house to the back of
his house is roughly 175 to 200 feet. The front of the proposed house to the Mangum's closest building is
roughly 150 feet. As far as the property values in the area, they plan on building a nice home. Mr. Rinard
stated they do have too many vehicles and he plans on selling a trailer. There is an attached garage for
parking for the proposed house. As far as the runoff, there is approximately a two foot high bank between his
property and Mr. Mangum's property. It would take a lot of water to get over that two foot bank.
Chairman Catlett told Mr. Rinard she appreciates his efforts in trying to address the concerns, but these
are issues that this Board cannot do anything about. If the variance is granted, then it would move on to other
areas of the County.
Chairman Catlett closed the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Discussion
Mr. Scott made a motion to approve the request for variance. Mr. Perry seconded the motion and it
passed unanimously.
OTHER
Chairman Catlett asked if there is any other business to come before the Board.
As there were no other items or new business to be discussed, the meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m.
by unanimous vote.
Respectfully submitted,

STAFF COMMENTS:
This lot was created on April 11, 1966, as shown by the deed submitted with application. This lot
was created prior to Frederick County adapting zoning on March 11, 1967. At the time of the
adoption of the zoning ordinance, this 1.041 acre property was zoned A-2 (Agricultural General);
shown on the Frederick County historical zoning map. The property setback lines for the A-2
(Agricultural General) were 35' front and rear and 15' on all sides. On December 11,1991, Frederick
County amended its Ordinance to change the rural zoning districts to the current RA (Rural Areas)
Zoning District, making the current setbacks for the property 60' front, 50'right side and 100'rear.
Staff would note there are two other items to bring to the Board's attention. As noted by the maps in
the application package, this property will be impacted by the proposed future Route 37. This
property will also be impacted by the Frederick County Landfill. These two items should be
considered with this variance.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE JUNE 20, 2006 MEETING:
The Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309(2), states that no variance shall be authorized by the Board
unless it finds that a) strict application of the Ordinance would produce an undue hardship; b) that
such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same
vicinity; and, c) that the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to
adjacent property, and that the character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the
variance.
The applicant is seeking a variance of 30' on the eastern side of the property to build a residential
structure of approximately 2,016 square feet in size. Should this variance be granted, the building
setbacks for this property would be 60'front, 70'left side and rear. It appears that this variance meets
the intent of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309 (2). This request from the current setbacks of
the RA zoning district may be justified.
ACTION BY THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AT THE JUNE 20, 2006 MEETING:
There was a tie vote after a motion made by Mr. Shenk to approve this application and seconded by
Mr. Wells. As the motion did not receive the required affirmative votes, this application is being
brought back to the Board for conclusive action.

Variance Request, Tax Map #65-A-176
June 15, 2006
We have reviewed the variance request for the approximate one (1) acre parcel (TM #65-
A-176) located on Sulphur Spring Road and have some serious concerns related to development
of this lot for a residential dwelling.
The plat included with the application indicates that a portion of the lot is inundated
during the 100 -year flood event associated with Sulphur Spring Run. It appears that this
information was derived from the FEMA flood maps. However, our department will require a
detailed flood study in conjunction with a site plan prior to issuing a building permit.
Historically, we have observed several flood events within the last 15 years that have covered the
landfill entrance road which is located less than 100 feet upstream of this property.
The plat indicates that the one (1) acre lot shares a boundary with the Frederick County
Landfill property. If the variance would be approved, we strongly recommend that the property
owner be required to inform any prospective home buyer that they will be living next to an
active, permitted landfill. The fact that this property is located adjacent to the main entrance to
the landfill should not relieve the property owner of this requirement.
The property in question is also located within the proposed alignment of Route 37. The
potential for this future road construction should be conveyed to any prospective home buyer.
The term, "buyer beware," should not apply to this property.
A drainfield area has been shown on the plat. However, to date, the health department

does not have a permit application for this property on file. We will request that the health
department staff perform an evaluation of this site because of the historically poor soil
conditions.

APPEAL APPLICATION #08-06
AROGAS, INC.
Staff Report for the Board of Zoning Appeals
�� Prepared: July 21, 2006
Staff Contact.- Mark R. Cheran, Zoning Administrator
This report is prepared by the Frederick County Planning ,Staff to provide information to the
Board of Zoning Appeals to assist them in making a decision on this request. It may also be
useful to others interested in this zoning matter.
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS HEARING DATE:
May 16, 2006 — Withdrawn by Applicant
August 15, 2006 - Pending
LOCATION: The property is located at the intersection of Rest Church Road (Route 669) and
Martinsburg Pike (Route 11 North).
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Stonewall
PROPERTY ID NUMBER(S): 34-A-4
PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zone: B2 (General Business) District
Land Use: Vacant
ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE:
North: M 1 (Light Industrial) District Land Use: Vacant
East: M1 (Light Industrial) District Land Use: Vacant
South: B2 (General Business) District Land Use: Vacant
West: B2 (General Business) District Land Use: Commercial
APPEAL: To appeal the decision of the Zoning Administrator pertaining to the proffered uses on
this property.
REASON FOR APPEAL: Applicant is appealing the decision of the Zoning Administrator
regarding the proffered uses on this property and rejection of a site plan for the uses on this property.
Appeal Application #08-06, Arogas, Inc.
July 21, 2006
Page 2
STAFF COMMENTS: A site development plan was received by the Frederick County Planning
Department on April 13, 2006. Staff was unable to process the site plan due to a discrepancy
between the proposed use of the property and the proffers associated with the property. The project
site lay -out of this property would indicate that the use of this property would be over -the -road truck
fueling. This proposed use is not in conformance with the assigned proffers for this property. Staff
returned the application fee and site plan to the applicant's engineer.
The applicant is appealing the decision of the Frederick County Zoning Administrator regarding
proffers assigned to Rezoning #02-04, which was approved by The Frederick County Board of
Supervisors on April 27, 2004. This land use action rezoned the property from RA (Rural Areas) to
B-2 (Business General) Zoning District and M-1 (Industrial Light) Zoning District. The Frederick
County Zoning Ordinance, Section 165-13 (E) states: proffers assigned with any rezoning shall be
enforced by the Zoning Administrator.
It is important to note that proffers are conditions that a property owner offers to be placed on the
owner's property when the owner asks the County to rezone the property. When a rezoning is
approved with proffers, the proffers provide restrictions on the property beyond the regulations in the
zoning district in which the property is located. Therefore, in this case, although the property is
located in the B-2 zoning district, and although the provisions of the B-2 zoning district permit truck
stops and the sale of diesel fuel for over -the -road carriers, the approved proffers on the property have
removed those uses as permitted uses on this property.
The applicant is appealing the decision of the Zoning Administrator in the enforcement of proffers of
this rezoning. These include the following:
The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance allows Standard Industry Code (SIC) 55 in its B-2
Zoning District. A subtitle of SIC 55 is SIC 5541which allows motor fuel to all types of
vehicles and truck stops.
Staff Response: Proffers for Rezoning #02-04 do not allow the retail or wholesale sale of diesel
fuel for over -the -road truck carriers. The use of SIC 5541 is a moot point per the proffers
assigned to this rezoning.
2. The Frederick County Code does not define "over -the -road truck carriers."
Staff Response: The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, Section 165-156, defines tractor -
trailer truck for hauling freight. A tractor -trailer by this definition is used for any over -the -road
truck for hauling and has the same meaning. This definition is further defined in the Merriam -
Webster Dictionary.
Appeal Application #08-06, Arogas, Inc.
July 21, 2006
Page 3
3. The proffer — "Any use involving the retail or wholesale sale of diesel fuel for over -the -road
truck carriers shall not be conducted or performed on this site or the commercial or industrial
zones." -is:
a. Void for vagueness
b. Unconstitutionally interferes with interstate commerce
c. Arbitrary and capricious
d. Procedurally defective
Staff Response: The proffers clearly state that diesel fuel retail or wholesale for over -the -
road truck carriers shall not be allowed, and there is no vagueness in the way the proffer is
enforced and referenced. Interstate commerce has no bearing on the decision of the Zoning
Administrator and is not unconstitutional due to the assigned proffers on this property. The
applicant should have read and understood the proffers prior to submitting a site plan for
review.
The decision of the Zoning Administrator was not arbitrary or capricious in the enforcement of
the proffers and the procedure on returning the site plan. The site plan could not be reviewed
by the staff due to the site lay -out. The site plan clearly shows pavement details for heavy truck
traffic use, and clearly shows fuel islands and parking spaces to accommodate over -the -road
trucks. This site plan, if approved by staff, would be a violation of the proffers assigned
through the approved rezoning.
The decision of the Zoning Administrator with regards to the enforcement and interpretation of the
proffers assigned with Rezoning #02-04 is correct and not arbitrary and capricious as the applicant
contends. The applicant should have read and understood the proffers before investing the time and
money to develop this property. Staff was in no position to review and approve the site plan as
presented and, therefore, returned the site application to the applicant. The only issue this Board of
Zoning Appeals must address is to affirm or overrule the Zoning Administrator's decision in not
reviewing the applicant's site plan pertaining to the proffers assigned to this property. Any changes
to these proffer uses are a legislative action, and are beyond the scope of the Board of Zoning
Appeals. The Frederick County Board of Supervisors is the only body that can approve any changes
to the uses or proffers assigned to this property.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE AUGUST 15, 2006 MEETING: Staff is requesting to affirm
the decision of the Zoning Administrator in the administration of the Frederick County Zoning
Ordinance regarding the proffered uses on this property and was correct in not reviewing the
applicant's site plan.

Triad Engineering, Inc.
Attn: Mr. Dennie Dunlap

Winchester, VA 22602
RE: Arogas Facility Site Development Plan
Whitehall Commerce Center
Dear Mr. Dunlap:
The Frederick County Planning Department received a transmittal letter from your firm
on April 13, 2006 which included a site plan application fee in the amount of $2,300.00
and two copies of a site development plan for the referenced project. Our department is
unable to process this application due to a discrepancy between the proposed use of this
property and the property's current zoning designation and associated proffers.
The proposed site development plan identifies the proposed use as commercial. Upon
further review of the use on site plan Drawing Number C-4, it is clear that the
commercial use is, in fact. a gasoline service station (SIC 5541) with fuel islands and
parking spaces appropriately sized to accommodate over -the -road trucks. Additionally,
the commercial entrance detail on Drawing Number C-14, and the pavement details on
Drawing Number C-13, are designed to accommodate heavy truck traffic.
This site layout is very similar to that submitted by the developer — Arogas, Inc. with
Rezoning #07-05. In fact, with Rezoning #07-05, provisions were made to accommodate
six truck diesel fuel islands; the submitted site development plan would accommodate
eight fuel islands which are dimensionally consistent to accommodate over -the -road
trucks.
As stated in the proffered conditions accepted as part of the rezoning application for the
subject property, which has been included on the site development plan's coversheet,
"Any use involving the retail or wholesale of diesel fuel for over -the -road truck carriers
shall not be conducted or performed on this site either in the commercial or industrial
zones." The submitted site plan clearly accommodates truck diesel fuel islands and
associated truck parking, consistent with Arogas, Inc.'s rezoning application.

Mr. Dennie Dunlap
RE: Arogas Facility Site Developme.—Tit Plan
April 19, 2006
Pafze 2
The development of this parcel as proposed by your site plan would necessitate a proffer
amendment to enable the sale of diesel fuel for over -the -road truck carriers. Please find
attached the information that was provided to our department on April 13, 2006 under
your transmittal letter. This information is being returned to your attention as not
approvable based on our determination that the proposed use is a prohibited use on this
property.
You may have the right to appeal this site development plan submittal rejection within
thirty (30) days of the date of this letter in accordance with Section 15.2-2311 of the
Code of Virginia. This decision shall be final and unappealable, if it is not appealed
within thirty (30) days. Should you choose to appeal, the appeal must be filed with the
Zoning Administrator and the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) in accordance with
Article XXI, Section 165-155A (1), of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. This
provision requires the submission of an application form, a written statement setting forth
the decision being appealed, the date of decision, the grounds for the appeal, how the
appellant is an aggrieved party, any other information you may want to submit, and a
$300.00 filing fee. Once the appeal application is accepted, it will be scheduled for
public hearing and decision before the BZA.
Sincerely,
Mark R. Cher
Zoning Administrator

deemed withdrawn and of no effect whatsoever. These proffers shall be binding upon the
applicant and their legal successor or assigns.
General Development Plan

Attachment: #10.
Appellant, Arogas, Inc. is the developer of the proposesite pland v op this -ated 06
pp that has invested substantial time and y
and is an aggrieved party
in accordance with the existing B-2 zoning.
The stated decision on appeal includes but is not limited to the following
assertions:
1) our department is unable to process this application due to a discrepancy
between the proposed use of this property and the property's current zoing
designation and associated proffers.
2) "... that the proposed use is a prohibited use on this property."
Date of decision: April 19, 2000
Reasons that appellant disagrees with the stated decision include but are not
limited to the following:
Article X 165.82 B. of the Zoning Code of the County of Frederick
• izes SIC 55. S.I.C. 5541 is therefore a permitted use in
specifically recogn
B-2. The subject site was zoned 0 04/o all types of4 for ls use. vehicles..LC. 5541
allows the sale of all types of motor
S.I.C. 5541 also specifically allows "truck stop" as a permitted use.
The application is not inconsistent with the B2 zoning or proffers
The dimensions of fuel islands, parking spaces, and commercial entrances
• are irrelevant to the use.
The similarity of site layout to rezoning #07-05 is irrelevant to the use.
Frederick County Zoning Code does not define "over -the -road truck
carriers," (Frederick Code does define tractor -trailer truck, tractor truck,
tractor truck trailer, and truck.)
The decision is arbitrary and capricious.
• There are many types of large vehicles that will access the proposed site.
• The referenced proffer -- "Any use involving the retail or wholesale sale
of diesel fuel for over -the -road truck carriers shall not be conducted or
performed on this site either in the commercial or industrial zones." — is:
- void for vagueness
- unconstitutionally interferes with interstate commerce
- arbitrary and capricious
procedurally defective
VARIANCE APPLICATION #15-06
JAY MERGLER
Staff Report for the Board of Zoning Appeals
Prepared: July 31, 2006
Staff Contact: Mark R. Cheran, Zoning Administrator
This report is prepared by the Frederick County Planning Staff to provide information to the Board
of Zoning Appeals to assist them in making a decision on this request. It may also be useful to
others interested in this zoning matter.
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS HEARING DATE:
August 15, 2006 - Action Pending
LOCATION: Iligh Street (Route 635), 0.1 mile on the right
MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: Back Creek
PROPERTY ID NUMBERN: 91A03-164-15

VARIANCE REQUESTED: 15 foot front yard variance and one foot rear yard variance for the
construction of a single family home
REASON FOR VARIANCE: The lot is exceptionally shallow and is bordered on three sides by
unimproved platted right-of-ways.
Variance Request #15-06, Jay Mergler
July 31, 2006
Page 2
STAFF COMMENTS: This 1.72 acre property was part of the New Middletown Subdivision
created in 1890. Inl967 Frederick County adopted zoning. The historical zoning map shows this
property was zoned A-2 (Agricultural General) and building restriction lines at the adoption of the
zoning ordinance were 35'front and 15' on the sides. In 1987 this property was subject to a lot
consolidation of 23 lots with building restriction lines of 35'front and 15' on the sides. Frederick
County amended its Code in 1989 to change the rural zoning districts to the current RA (Rural
Areas) zoning district, making the building restriction lines for the property 60'front for all four
sides.
A variance request by Mr. Mergler on this property was heard and approved by the Board of Zoning
Appeals at their meeting of November 15, 2005. (Variance 23-05) The request was for a ten foot
variance in the front and a 15'6" variance in the rear.
The owner is seeking a variance of 15 feet left side and one foot right side. Should this variance be
granted, the building setbacks for this property would be 35 feet left side, 43.5 feet right side and
would remain 60 feet front and rear.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE AUGUST 15, 2006 MEETING: The Code of Virginia,
Section 15.2-2309(2), states that no variance shall be authorized by the Board unless it finds that a)
strict application of the Ordinance would produce an undue hardship; b) that such hardship is not
shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity; and, c) that the
authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and that the
character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance.
It appears that this variance meets the intent of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309 (2). This
request from the current setbacks of the RA zoning district may be justified.
