ITEM #1
FELLOWSHIP BIBLE CHURCH - SEWER AND WATER SERVICE REQUEST
In December 1996, the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) considered a
request from Fellowship Bible Church to allow for the provision of sewer service to the church
property. This proposal involved the development of an on-site pump station and a force main sewer
line which would connect to the Westridge Subdivision located within the City of Winchester.
Correspondence from the Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA), dated March 21, 1997,
stated that the FCSA Executive Committee would be amenable to this concept, provided that the
pump station and force main only served the Fellowship Bible Church property and was privately
owned by the church, and that the church enter into an agreement with the FCSA to ensure that the
pump station and force main would not be dedicated to others without the consent of the authority.
The CPPS did not want to include this property in the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA), and
did not believe that allowing for the extension of sewer service to this property was appropriate due
to its proximity to the nearest sewer system. The CPPS felt that approving this request would
establish a precedent which would be followed by others, and advised the church representatives that
exceptions for similar uses have been granted; however, they involved extensions of services across
public right-of-ways, whereas this request involved tying into a system that was 'h mile away.
Fellowship Bible Church has once again petitioned the CPPS for permission to extend water and
sewer service to the church property. A letter from Fellowship Bible Church, dated August 26, 1999,
states that the church desires to install a 2 '/z -inch force main sewer line and a water line of adequate
size to provide fire protection. The church would accomplish this by tying into the Apple Valley
Water and Sewer System that is being developed by the FCSA. Correspondence from the FCSA,
dated July 21, 1999 indicates that there is adequate capacity in the Apple Valley Water and Sewer
System to accommodate this request. A map depicting the location of the SWSA is included with
this request which depicts the proximity of the Fellowship Bible Church property to the current
boundary. Staff requests that the CPPS review this information for discussion purposes and forward
a recommendation to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for final disposition of this
matter.

Dear Mr. Wyatt,
We a Fellowship Bible Church are hereby requesting permission to connect to Frederick
County water and sewer lines currently extended to the new Coke Cola plant on Apple
Valley Road. If our request is granted, we expect to install a 2 '/z inch forced sewer line
and a water line adequate to provide fire protection. These lines would run approximately
three quarters of a mile on the southwest side of Apple Valley Road ( same side as the
coke plant). Our church facility is located at the intersection of Middle Road and Apple
Valley Road and currently uses two septic fields for waste disposal and a 340' deep well
for water service.
Our church was established at its present location in 1984 and grew to 150 in number by
1990. Since that time we have grown to over 700 in attendance at our three Sunday
services. While our core mission of worship, teaching and fellowship is our primary
focus, we are actively involved in the Frederick County community by means of non-
denominational youth programs (k through college age), pregnancy counseling, and food
programs for those in need, just to name a few. Our growth has compelled us to plan a
facility expansion program in three phases. The first phase will include a multi-purpose
building with a seating capacity of approximately 800 which alternatively can be used as a
gymnasium facility. This option of using the building for basketball, volleyball, and other
sports should enhance our outreach and also provide the youth of our community a
location to gather that is attractive, safe, and where wholesome activities are encouraged.

Our current septic and water systems can be upgraded to service our first phase of
construction only by placing the new multi -purposes building at a less than ideal location
on our property. We will be unable to expand beyond our first phase of construction
without the availability of county water and sewer.
Your consideration of this matter is greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Charles Richardson

ITEM #2
LAND USE STUDY - ROUTE 11 NORTH CORRIDOR AREA
During the August 25, 1999 Board of Supervisors meeting, staffwas directed to undertake a land use
study for the Route 11 North Corridor Area. The Board reprioritized the tasks identified during the
Planning Commission Retreat and established this land use study as a higher priority than the Rural
Area Development Issues.
Included with this agenda item is a ten step approach proposed by staff to accomplish this task. Staff
would like to discuss and finalize this approach with the Comprehensive Plans and Programs
Subcommittee (CPPS) during the meeting. Staff will present mapping of this area for review with
the CPPS. The CPPS will be asked to establish and recommend a study area boundary for this
project which will be presented to the Board of Supervisors during their September 22, 1999 meeting.

LAND USE STUDY APPROACH
The following proposal recommends an approach to accomplish the land use study that was assigned
to the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) by the Board of Supervisors during
their August 25, 1999 meeting. Staff will present this approach to the Planning Commission and
Board of Supervisors for approval following agreement by the CPPS.
Approach
1) Establish a study area boundary as recommended by the CPPS and present to the Board of
Supervisors for concurrence.
2) Develop thematic mapping information for the study area to include existing and proposed
transportation systems, utilities, zoning, land use, political, environmental, and historic
coverages.
3) Develop information for the study area and undertake a van tour with CPPS.
4) Conduct two visioning meetings to obtain input from the general public regarding the issues
of concern within the study area. Send notification to all property owners within the study
area boundary advising them of the locations and dates of the visioning meetings.
5) Conduct information meetings to obtain input from specific groups and committees, including
the Economic Development Commission Business Attraction Committee, the Industrial Parks
Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the Top of Virginia Builders Association, the
Frederick County Farm Bureau and other identified organizations.
6) Conduct a work session with the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, and CPPS.
Present the results of the visioning meetings and receive direction and general comments from
the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission.
7) Work with the CPPS to develop various land use study alternatives based on input received
from the various information meetings and to develop a preferred alternative land use plan.
8) Conduct a final work session with the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, and CPPS
to finalize the preferred land use plan alternative.
9) Conduct two additional public information meetings and meetings with various organizations
to present the preferred land use plan alternative for information and discuss purposes.
10) Hold public hearings at the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisor levels for
adoption of the land use plan.
