CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission Chairman called the meeting to order
and instructed the Secretary to address the first item of business.
Mr. Riley presented two proposed subdivision amendments which would
require the division of land zoned residential, commercial and
industrial to meet the full requirements of the Frederick County
Subdivision Ordinance and the connection to central water and sewer
if available at the property.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding these proposals
centered on the fact of the exact terminology of the availability of
water and sewer service. It was finally decided to word the
amendment to read as follows:
18 -30 Public Water and Sewer
Where public water or sewer is available at the property (as
defined in the Frederick County Subdivision Ordinance) the service
shall be extended to all lots within said property. (As defined)
18 -2 (3) The division of land into lots or parcels of land of five
acres or greater zoned an agricultural classification.
The next order of business was to discuss the renewal procedure
for conditional use permits. Mr. Riley presented the Commonwealth
Attorney's opinion along with questions posed to the Commonwealth
Attorney.

The Planning Commission was in full agreement with the opinion
and also felt that advertisement for renewal was unnecessary.
The next order of business was the presentation of a
subcommittee status report by Mr. James Golladay. The subject of
the report covered urban development impacts on the cost and
delivery of services.
The Planning Commission was in general agreement with the
direction of the report. The Commission felt that alternative ways
to design subdivisions and preserve open space was essential.
Mr. Myers next requested through Chairman Gordon the issue of
agricultural preservation be reviewed.
Mr. Riley reviewed the intent of the subcommittee report on
agricultural preservation highlighting the special use permit
provision.
Mr. Riley indicated that his intent was to go back and review
the findings of the committee at the next regularly scheduled
worksession of the Planning Commission.
There being no further business to come before the Planning
Commission, Mr. Golladay moved for adjournment. The motion for
adjournment was seconded by Mr. Stiles and passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
