We will have these maps on display at the committee meeting and will plan to use them at the public meeting in Round Hill. 2. Discussion of public meeting date, location, format and notice. We have reserved the Round Hill Fire Hall for May 8th, at 7:30, which is our regular meeting night and time. We inquired about the availability on the following Saturday (the 13th), however, the building has been reserved for a reception. If the Committee feels a second meeting is necessary, we can try another date or another location. Staff has also drafted a notice (a copy of which is attached) which can be mailed to community residents. We would like the committee's input and approval of the meeting notice. 3. Review of slides for the public meeting. Staff has taken a number of slides of the Round Hill area and will present them to the Committee. 107 North Kent Street P.O. Box 601 Winchester, VA 22601 Winchester, VA 22604 County Will Review Land Development Policies and Regulations for Round Hill Why Another Study? As many area landowners are aware, the county recently evaluated the potential for providing sewer service to your community. A consultant was hired to prepare a report on possible means of serving the area. The study pointed out a number of possibilities, all of which involve substantial cost and the need to acquire easements from landowners in order to install a system. No public sewage disposal method will be possible without the support of community residents. In addition to outlining the types and costs of various disposal methods, the report focused attention on a number of issues. The most obvious being how to pay for the installation and maintenance of a system. The question of what effect the availability of sewer would have on development within and around the Round Hill community also was raised. It was determined by the County Board of Supervisors that questions concerning growth controls, where boundaries should be drawn for the service area, whether residents want this service, how the installation and maintenance would be funded, and perhaps most importantly, what effect the availability of sewer would have on the character of Round Hill and the surrounding area, needed to be answered. Given these and other questions, Frederick County is undertaking another study of the Round Hill Community. This time with the hopes of determining what, if any, changes should occur in policies and regulations governing the area. The provision of sewer is only one of the issues. The Board of Supervisors want to know what the landowners in the area think. Are there aspects of the community you want to try and protect? How do you feel about additional commercial or residential growth? What sort of limits need to be established? What Happens Next? The County's Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPC) is conducting the study, they will be holding a meeting at the Round Hill Fire Hall on May , 1995 at 7:30pm. All interested landowners and residents are urged to attend. The Committee will be presenting information on the existing regulations affecting Round Hill along with some general statistical information on existing population, zoning, traffic and land use. They will also have estimates of how much growth could occur within the community based on the existing regulations and under the assumption that sewer were to be provided. The Committee needs to hear from you. This is an opportunity for area landowners to voice their opinions and concerns. The input from this and possible fixture meetings will directly effect the policies that are established for your community. Please make an effort to attend. Anyone who is unable to attend, can mail comments to the Frederick County Department of Planning and Development, P.O. Box 601, Winchester, Virginia 22604 or call us at 665-5651 with comments or questions.
