CITIZEN COMMENTS
Leslie Schottroffe, Opequon District, referenced a short-term rental property on her shared private
driveway known as Waynes Lane and stated that all owners are responsible for the driveway maintenance.
She said the owner of the short-term rental is not helping with the maintenance costs which are higher
because of the short-term rental use. She said short-term rentals should be a conditional use.
Mike Schottroffe, Opequon District, expressed frustration at the length of time since the discussion
began about the condition of the shared driveway known as Waynes Lane.
Sue Case, Opequon District, discussed Waynes Lane saying it is a privately maintained driveway
now being used to access an Air B and B business. She said such situations need to be regulated and
shared private driveways need a different approach with more restrictions.
Bryan Nuri, Opequon District, condemned Supervisor Graber's actions regarding a conditional use
permit at the previous meeting. He referenced the brother of Supervisor Graber and read from a letter which
he said was written by the brother of Supervisor Graber.
Josh Phelps, Gainesboro District, asked the Board to consider requiring zero-based budgeting during
the next budget cycle.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE FREDERICK COUNTY CODE,CHAPTER 165 ZONING,
ARTICLE II SUPPLEMENTARY USE REGULATIONS; PARKING; BUFFERS; AND
REGULATIONS FOR SPECIFIC USES; — DENIED
Tyler Klein, Senior Planner, reviewed the proposed amendment (as drafted in 2020) which would
allow single-family detached (SFD) lots 15,000 square feet (SF, or 0.34-acres) or greater to have up to a
maximum of six (6) chickens by right through an administrative permit reviewed and approved by the
Minute Book 48
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of August 10,2022
County of Frederick, Virginia
37
Department of Planning and Development (and would include a $25 permit fee). He said single-family
attached lots (townhomes or duplexes), multi-family buildings, and lots less than 15,000 SF would continue
to be prohibited from keeping chickens and this amendment would also apply to lots of 15,000 SF or greater
in the R4 (Residential Planned Community) and R5 (Residential Recreational Community) Zoning Districts
as they also follow the RP District"Allowed Uses" list. He said additional regulations governing the proposed
use are also proposed requiring the chickens to be kept in an enclosed rear yard, chicken coops meeting the
proposed setback requirements for accessory structures and prohibiting the commercial sale of meat and
eggs (i.e., restricted to personal use only).
Supervisor Graber and Mr. Klein discussed the number of 0.34-acre size lots in the County
numbering about 8,000 while 0.5-acre lots number about 3,500.
In response to Supervisor Dunn's question, County Attorney Williams said that typically an ordinance
is not enacted with a sunset or end date.
In response to Chairman DeHaven's question about the required setback from the property line, Mr.
Klein said it is five feet.
Chairman DeHaven opened the public comment period.
Laurie Logue, Shawnee District, said she was opposed to the ordinance amendment allowing
chickens in the R4 and R5 zoning districts.
Laura Piersin, Shawnee District, said she was opposed to the ordinance amendment allowing
chickens in the R4 and R5 zoning districts.
Sharon Mauzy, Red Bud District, said she was opposed to the proposed ordinance but is in favor of
an ordinance amendment allowing chickens without a permit.
Greg Mauzy, Red Bud District, spoke in opposition to the ordinance saying that chickens should be
allowed by right.
Greg Gallagher, Back Creek, spoke in favor of the ordinance amendment.
Samantha Armel, Red Bud District, spoke in favor of the ordinance amendment.
Dorothy McDonald, County resident, said she owns five acres, but cannot have chicken because
she is in the R5 zoning district. She recommended one acre as the minimum lot size for allowing chickens.
Theo Theologis, Stonewall District, said that homeowners' associations do not have the resources
to enforce a chicken ordinance.
Chairman DeHaven closed the public comment period.
Supervisor Ludwig spoke in favor of the ordinance citing similar ordinances in Shenandoah and

PLANNING COMMISSION BUSINESS—OTHER PLANNING BUSINESS
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT: SHORT-TERM LODGING—SENT FORWARD TO PUBLIC
HEARING
Tyler Klein, Senior Planner, reviewed the proposed short-term lodging ordinance amendment and
the Board's direction to make several changes. He noted the Board of Supervisors' primary concern pertained
to access to short-term lodging operations from private driveways in the RA (Rural Areas) zoning district,
adding that there was no consensus among the Board on how best to address the issue. He said that
following the May 25th discussion and subsequent review of comparable uses, access, and other ordinances
from jurisdictions in the Commonwealth, staff developed two (2) scenarios for the Board to consider. He
reviewed the scenarios as follows:
Scenario A: Short-term lodging would be allowed by-right for single-family detached (SFD)
residences in the RA (Rural Areas), RP (Residential Performance), and MH1 (Mobile Home Community)
zoning districts. Short Term Lodging operators would only need to have an approved STL administrative
permit and valid business license. No additional regulations are proposed to address access from private
driveways under this proposal.
Scenario B: Short-term lodging would be allowed by-right for SFD residences in the RP, and MH1
zoning districts. Short-term lodging would be allowed by-right in the RA district only where access to the
property is provided directly from a state roadway; short-term lodging would be allowed through an approved
conditional use permit (CUP), which requires public notification and public hearings, for properties where
Minute Book 48
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of August 10, 2022
County of Frederick, Virginia
39
access is provided from a private driveway.
The Board and staff discussed the issue of a private driveway being used for a short-term rental
business, options for neighbors on a shared driveway to weigh in when a short-term rental is being reviewed,
and the possibility of requiring that all short-term rentals be accessed by public roads.
Planning Director Wyatt Pearson noted the time-sensitive nature to adopt an ordinance regarding
short-term rentals following a tax code change that has caused all short-term rental owners to be registered
with the County, but that the properties need to be in zoning compliance.
Vice Chairman McCarthy moved for approval of sending both of the proposed ordinance amendment
options forward to public hearing. Supervisor Graber seconded the motion which carried on a recorded vote
as follows:
Blaine P. Dunn No Josh E. Ludwig Aye
