ITEM #1
SEWER AND WATER SERVICE AREA (SWSA)
EXPANSION REQUEST
Included within this agenda item is information that has been prepared by Chuck Maddox, G. W.
Clifford & Associates. Mr. Maddox has requested the expansion of the Sewer and Water Service
Area (SWSA) to incorporate a 57.87 acre parcel. A portion of this parcel is currently within the
SWSA. The site is presently vacant, but the Frederick County School Board is seeking to acquire
the tract for use as a future middle school site.
The subject site is located on Millwood Pike (US Route 50 East), north of Westview Business
Center. Access to Route 50 would be at the intersection of Route 50 and Independence Drive.
Sewer and Water currently exists on the south side of Route 50, within the Westview Business
Center. Route 37, alternative C, as proposed, would cross the site's eastern boundary.
Attached is the information and mapping provided by the applicant and staff. The mapping
illustrates the location of the SWSA, the proposed Route 37 alignment, and current zoning in the
general vicinity of the subject site.

Thank you for our recent meeting and phone conversation regarding the above referenced tract. This property
is zoned B-2 and is under option for purchase by the Frederick County School Board for use in part as a new
middle school site.
There are three issues which require your assistance prior to clearing this site for use as a school.
First, the site, although zoned B-2, does not exist within but is adjacent to the County's Sewer and Water
Service Area. We need to amend the SWSA map to include this site. The attached Figure 1 shows how this line
can be adjusted to service the 57.87 acres.
Second, at present, the County Zoning Ordinance does not specifically allow "schools" as a permitted use. The
ordinance for B-2 allows public buildings but schools are not specifically mentioned. We know that schools
are often included in business zoned areas and we see no good reason why that use should not be included into
the list of uses permitted in B-2.
Please consider this letter our formal request for "Text Amendment" to the County ordinance in this regard.
Finally, the proffers accepted at the time of the 1990 rezoning are attached. At this time, the County
Comprehensive Plan showed this roadway as a major collector extending into the Senseny Road corridor to the
north (see Figure 2). The comprehensive plan has since been revised due to Route 37 and VDOT Greenwood
Road (S.R. 656) planning to eliminate this collector roadway. The approved proffer calls for the 4 lane road
(items 1-5 of proffer) to be extended 700' into the site during phase one of the development (points A to B).
[tem 5 of the proffer speaks to the construction of a two lane roadway from B to C as development goes from
front to rear (south to north) on the site. Paragraph 1 also offers for dedication of 70' right of way from A to C
"upon development" of the trace.

The changes we request be made to the proffer are attached. These changes request the right of way dedication
horn B to C and the need for construction of the 2 lane road be eliminated. The justification is that this road is -
not called for extension by the Comprehensive Plan. All other items in the proffer would remain as originally
approved.
Please advise of any comments you have on our three requests and we would look forward to any instructions
you have on the approval sequence for this request.
Sincerely yours,
