Mr. Wayne Miller, zoning administrator, appeared before
the Board to present this request, noting that the Planning
commission and staff recommended approval with conditions.
Mr. Sutphin appeared before the Board on behalf of his
request at this time.
Mr. Smith stated that based on the pictures he has seen
of this site he feels it is a real disaster area, and asked
Mr. Sutphin how soon he planned to clean it up.
Mr. Sutphin replied that he plans to be in compliance
by the time allotted him by Mr. Miller.

IH THE STONEWALL DISTRICT - TART.1m
Mr. Wayne Miller, zoning administrator, presented this
request to the Board noting that the Planning commission and
staff recommended approval with conditions.
Mr. Sager referred to a letter of November 30 and asked who
does have jurisdiction over the animal waste, and makes sure it
is disposed of properly.
Mr. Orndoff inquired about the five extra buildings and
whether or not the Health Department would require permits for
these buildings.
Mr. Miller noted that the Health Department would be
reviewing the site plans.
Mr. Mike stivers, attorney, representing the petitioner,
appeared before the Board to explain why The National Humane
Society had selected this area of the county and also explained
to Mr. Sager that EPA is the agency that regulates the animal
waste. He further addressed the concerns that had been ex-
pressed by Mrs. Bragg with regard to the increased traffic on
this road should this request be granted. He stated that he had
a package available to any citizen that might be interested in
The National Humane Society and their operation.
Mr. smith asked about cats being brought to this location.
Mr. stivers explained that they would come from different
areas, not necessarily Frederick County.
Mr. smith asked how the cats would be housed or caged.
Mr. stivers stated they would not be caged.
Mr. Sager asked if anyone from EPA or anyone else ever
performed any type of inspection or do any policing of the
facility.
Mr. stivers replied no.
Mr. Longerbeam asked how the animal waste would be stored
prior to going to the landfill.
474
Mr. stivers replied it would be stored, as needed.
Mr. Longerbeam asked what happens to the cats that die.
Mr. stivers replied that they are sent to a crematory,
this is contracted out as there is not one located on site.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he would be interested in
knowing about the long term financing and funding assurances.
Mr. Orndoff asked how many animals are at the Leesburg
site.
Mr. stivers replied none, only offices are located there,
this would be the first site in Virginia.
Mr. William Krupp, executive director of the society,
appeared before the Board at this time to explain what
happens with the animals from the time they are received at
the location. When an animal is received at the Society
site they become property of the Society. He explained how
they receive their funds and that the facility located in
Walton, New York is on seventeen acres and in two years the
Society will have been in operation for fifty years. He
further explained that under no circumstances would the
animals be abandoned. Funds are received by direct mail and
the society has been soliciting funds for approximately ten
years. He explained that some of their funds are received
from wills and Bequests, but direct mail is where the
majority of their funding comes from.
Mr. Longerbeam asked if they were associated with the
Humane Society.
Mr. Krupp replied no.
Mr. Longerbeam explained to Mr. Krupp that he would
like to have a copy of the Society's most recent financial
statement.
Mr. Krupp stated that he would be happy to supply each
Board member with one.
Mr. Shickle stated that he had some questions as to why
the society would select this area, in light of the zoning
issues, cost of the land, and the driving distance involved,
not only from Loudoun county, but also Walton, New York.
475
Dr. James Casey, local veterinarian, addressed the Board to
let them know what he has seen of this operation during the time
he has been employed at Aberdeen Kennels, noting that he has
only positive remarks about this operation.
Mr. Harry Fadley, resident of Frederick County, appeared
before the Board at which time he told of his experiences with
the Society while adopting a dog from them, he found them to be
very professional, and dedicated folks. He further stated that
he feels this type of business would be a benefit to the county
and that the Board should approve it.
Mr. Shickle asked Mr. Fadley when he adopted his dog from
the Society.
Mr. Fadley replied within the last six months.
Mr. Shickle stated that he was not aware of the fact that
the Society was operating in any way at the kennel but it
appears they have been, therefore he would like to ask someone
from the Society a few questions.
Mr. Shickle asked Mr. Krupp how long had the society been
boarding animals at the Aberdeen Kennel and how many.
Mr. Krupp replied approximately six months and 100 animals.
Mr. Sager asked how the animals are transported.
Mr. Krupp replied in various way, some are driven as far as
the West Coast.
Mr. Orndoff asked if this request is approved will the
facility be closed in New York.
Mr. Krupp replied no.
Mr. Rick Fine, resident of Frederick County, appeared
before the Board endorsing this facility coming to Frederick
county.
Mrs. Tina Bragg, county resident, opposes this request for
various reasons, the main one being that she is a resident
living on the same road as the Aberdeen Kennel. She feels with
the increase in employees should the Society locate at this
site, will only add to the traffic count and not help the
overall condition of this road, which at this point is
476
everything but good. It will not help in the area of taxes
as the Society would be tax exempt. She does not feel this
would be a good thing for Frederick County.
Mrs. Esther Boyd, county resident, opposes this opera-
tion locating in the county as she does not agree with their
philosophy on "no kill" with regard to the animals they
house. She has seen this in other localities and feels that
animals should be put down if it is warranted.
Mrs. Cheryl Anderson, owner of Aberdeen Kennels,
explained to the Board that the land is currently in land
use therefore not that much would be lost in tax revenue.
She pointed out the services that would be provided by the
Society as well as revenue that would be generated through
the payroll, etc.
Mr. Orndoff explained that there were still some
questions that he had not had answered therefore, he would
move at this time to table this request.
Mr. Shickle seconded the motion.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded
vote:
James L. Longerbeam - Aye
w. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Nay
Margaret B. Douglas - Aye
Robert M. Sager - Aye
Richard C. Shickle - Aye
Charles W. Orndoff, Sr. - Aye
It was the consensus of the Board that this would be
brought back to the Board at their next meeting on February
13, for further discussion by the Board members, but that no
further public input would be received at that time.
PUBLIC R1l:MUNG - REZONING APPLICATION #008-94 OF JAMES
CARROLL '1'0 REZONE 2.81 ACRES FROM RP (RESIDENTIAL
PERFORMANCE) '1'0 B2 (BUSDfESS GENERAL) WITH PROFFERS AS
AMEIfDED SUBSEOUENT '1'0 THE PLAIfIfING COMMISSION MEETING

INTERSECTION OF CUSTER AVEIfUE AIfD PEMBRIDGE ROAD AIfD IS
IDENTIFIED WITH PINS 64A-4-20A. 64A-10-A. AIfD 64A-10-B
AIfD IS LOCATED IN THE SHAWNEE DISTRICT. (TABLED FROM
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING OF JANUARY 10. 1996)
APPROVED
Mr. Kris Tierney, zoning administrator, presented this
request to the Board, noting that additional proffers had
been offered since this was heard by the planning Commission.
477
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he would not be participating i
any discussion or vote on this rezoning request due to the fact
that he is part owner of adjoining property.
Mr. smith, vice Chairman, took over the chairmanship at
this time.
Mr. Sager asked for definition of "Food store".
Mrs. Douglas asked if the right-of-way to pembridge Height
was given by Mr. Carroll.
Mr. Tierney replied yes.
Mr. Sager asked if there was any type of agreement at that
time.
Mr. Tierney explained that would need to be addressed by
the petitioner.
The following citizens appeared before the Board to address
this rezoning request:
Mike Carroll, representing his father James Carroll,
addressed the question about an agreement that was done quite
some time ago. He explained that when the right-of-way was
granted by his father, it was known at that time that at some
time down the road there would be some type of development on
the site in question.
Mr. Smith asked about 15 of the proffers.
(5) All permitted uses shall not be open to the public
between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. except for
hotels, motels, banks, and other permitted uses approved
only by the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Carroll explained this was done for the future.
Reqina Rishawn, has problem with B-2 zoning in this area of
210 homes, feels it is not needed. Asked Board to please make a
decision as this issue has been going on for fourteen months.
Carol Kerns, feels this will have a big impact on all the
residents in this area and it has upset everyone. Why wasn't
B-2 zoning done before the residential area was approved.
Bob Reqiabal, residents are very concerned about this.
Jia Gibbons, questioned 15 of the proffers. He explained
the last list of proffers the residents knew about was presented
478
at the meeting of December 14, 1995 and 15 was not included
on that list. He asked the Board to give the homeowners the
same consideration as they (Board Members) would like to be
given if this were happening to them.
Cary Kiable, questioned the last minute proffers. Feels
that a commercial island should not be mixed with a residen-
tial area. Nothing new has been offered and this should be
denied.
Kilton Baqeant, addressed the two subdivisions in this
area
that make up a number of residences and feels this rezoning
is wrong. He further stated that there are currently enough
businesses located at the entrances into winchester without
adding any additional ones.
Mr. swartz, wants this rezoning request denied. Feels
the owner is making this request in order that the land be
rezoned at the cost of 200 families in order that he can
make a fast buck.
Laura Fox, is opposed to this request. She had heard
one statement made that said there was one alternative,
build apartments. The other alternative as she sees it is
do nothing with the land. She is opposed to the 2:00 a.m.
to 6:00 a.m. time limit for businesses to be closed, this is
not sufficient quiet time.
Angela Bennett, disagrees with statements made by Mr.
Carroll and Mr. Maddox with regard to the residents being
kept abreast of what was going on. There have been a couple
of meetings, but the citizens were not completely informed
of what was being done.
steve Fox, is concerned about crime in the area. He
feels that when you have businesses such as those that have
been mentioned as ones that could possibly be built at this
location, your chances are greater for crime. He further
stated that you are always reading in the local newspaper
that crime is prevalent in these areas, as well as areas
where townhouses are located.
479
Chuck Maddox, representing G.W. Clifford, explained that
they have been involved in this project for a number of years
assisting where they could and they feel the owners have tried
to soften the impacts where they could. The time has come when
a final decision with this issue must be decided upon. He
understands that this is an emotional issue, without a doubt
which happens when a piece of property is being requested to be
rezoned commercial that adjoins a residential area. At this
time he presented to the Board members an aerial photo of where
the property in question is located. He addressed the fact that
he feels, in his view, that this is the best location for a road
to access Route 50 for at this time there is no good road to
access Route 50. He realizes this will be sometime, however,
there are hundreds of acres to the north of this location that
are zoned RP and in time they will be developed.
Mr. Sager asked if Mr. Carroll owned this property when the
entrance to pembridge Heights was developed.
Mr. Maddox replied yes which provided a fifty foot right-
of-way. He further stated that Mr. Carroll knew at that time
that the highest and best use of this property was commercial,
however at that time he was not interested in pursuing it.
Charles Bennett, President of Homeowners Association,
stated that in reviewing the minutes of previous planning
commission meetings, at which this matter was discussed, Kenneth
stiles appeared at one of the meetings and confirmed that there
was never an agreement to provide any change in zoning to this
parcel of land as a result of Mr. Carroll granting a right-of-
way through his property. He asked the Board to look very
closely at everything that has transpired over the past fourteen
months and especially at all the arguments that have been made
against the rezoning of this property. He asked that a decision
be made swiftly as the residents are tired of coming to all the
meetings.
Mr. Sager asked Mr. Bennett if he was aware of all the uses
thi. property could be used for in the event it was not rezoned
480
as requested.
Mr. Bennett replied yes.
Mr. Carroll explained that this property does not lie
along Route 50, rather it is VDOT right-of-way that VDOT has
said Mr. Carroll could acquire once the zoning was approved.
At that point the property will touch Route 50 so that will
not be an issue.
Mr. smith closed the public hearing at this time.
Mr. smith stated that he had had meetings with some of
the residents of Pembridge Heights in order to explain what
is now and what use to be.
Mr. Shickle stated that this was the most difficult
item that he has had to deal with while serving on the
planning commission. He felt early on that something was
needed at the intersection that would hopefully help the
traffic situation, but did not see how that could happen
without some change in the zoning, some cooperation between
the owner, developer and residents of the subdivision. His
support for this rezoning is because he desperately wants to
see something happen that is better than what is there now,
not anything that is worse.
Mr. Sager echoes Mr. Shickle's comments, as he has
struggled with this request for a long time. He is really
almost to the point where he would say to Mr. Carroll do
with it what you want. He understands traffic as well as
anyone and he too wants to see that intersection corrected
and made safe, but does not know that he can support this
rezoning at this time.
Mr. Orndoff stated that when this was brought before
the Board at an earlier time he voted against it, however he
agrees with Mr. Shickle in that something needs to be done
with this intersection.
Upon motion made by Richard C. Shickle, seconded by
Margaret B. Douglas, to approve rezoning application #008-94
of James Carroll.

481
Mr. Sager asked how the Board would know that the intersec-
tion would be improved. Would VDOT improve the intersection.
Mr. Riley replied no, that would be left up to the develop-
er.
The above motion was approved by the following recorded
vote:
James L. Longerbeam - Abstained
W. Harrington Smith, Jr. - Nay
Margaret B. Douglas - Aye

1996 COIIPREHENSIVE POLICY PLAN - DRAFT - RECEIVED AS
INFORllATIOH
Mr. Tierney, assistant planning director, addressed the
Board noting that The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee
and Staff have completed the update of the year's Plan. The
Planning Commission has held a public hearing and has recommend-
ed the updated Plan to the Board for adoption.
He explained that much of the work consists of updating
statistical information such as school enrollment and population
figures. The committee has also made minor editorial
482
corrections where needed. Additional items that have been
modified include the Sewer and Water Map and the Eastern
Road Plan Map. The update to the Eastern Road Plan consists
of eliminating a north-south and an east-west collector road
that would split the Third Winchester Battlefield site and a
couple of short, minor collectors that fed into these major
collectors.
He feels the most significant additions to the plan are
the goals and action plan or the Battlefield preservation
effort and goals and policies from the Round Hill Land Use
Plan. The preservation information comes directly from the
text of the Battlefield Plan that was produced by the
Battlefield Task Force. The policies for the Round Hill
Community come from the plan prepared by the Comprehensive
Plans and Programs Committee produced after months of work
and two community meetings in Round Hill.
Mr. smith stated that the information received speaks
to fifteen years, with the systems already failing, can the
residents wait that long.
Mr. Shickle stated that he has attended various meetings
concerning this and feels staff has worked hard and put
forth a tremendous effort, however he feels the job is not
complete at this point, more work and research is needed.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he feels the same problem
exist in the Stephenson area however he does not feel the
county can put water and sewer in an area just to solve the
failing septic systems.
Mr. Watkins explained that he feels the Board and
Planning commission need to talk about this.
REQUEST OF VIRGINIA DEPARTIIENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR
WATER AND SEWER EXTENSION TO NEW HEADQUARTERS
RECEIVED AS INFORllATION
Mr. Tierney presented this information to the Board
noting VDOT's desire to extend public sewer and water to
their planned Winchester Headquarters site on Route 50. The
issue was discussed by the Comprehensive Plans and Programs
Committee at their December meeting.
483
A couple of issues were considered in relation to the
request. First, the staff's interpretation of the location of
the Sewer and Water Service Area Boundary is such that the VDOT
parcel is adjacent to the boundary. As is often the case when
looking at parcels near the boundary, it is difficult to deter-
mine precisely where the line was intended to terminate. Staff
believes that the boundary extends to the intersection of Route
50 and 803. The CPPC concurred with this interpretation.
The CPPC's recommendation to the Planning Commission was
that VDOT be permitted to extend sewer to their site. The
committee also recommended that no additional parcels or uses,
including VDOT, should be permitted to hook into the sewer line
that is proposed to be extended under Route 50 to serve the
planned Hardee's.
The committee felt that VDOT should be encouraged to
participate in efforts to extend the Merriman's Lane sewer line
to Round Hill. The committee stressed that any requests for
sewer within the Round Hill Community should be considered in
light of the long range goals expressed in the Round Hill Land
Use Plan. The Plan is quite specific in regarding the eventual
extension of the sewer line at Merriman's Lane to serve the
community. This line is the subject of an agreement between the
Sanitation Authority and the City of Winchester which reserves
capacity specifically for the Round Hill area. The committee
felt that any proposed land uses that are permitted to tie into
the proposed Hardee's line take potential resources away from
extending the Merriman's Lane line.
The Planning Commission discussed the recommendation at
their January 3, 1996 meeting. The commission agreed with the
CPPC recommendation with one exception, the commission felt that
the Sewer and Water Service Area should be extended so that it
clearly includes the VDOT site. If the Board agrees that an
adjustment to the Sewer and Water Service Area is appropriate, a
public hearing would be necessary.
484
Mr. Sager asked why was VDOT concerned about water and
sewer now, as they didn't seem to be concerned about it at
the time they were interested in purchasing the property.
Mr. Longerbeam stated that he could not believe anyone
in the state system would approve this. If they did they
should be fired.
End of Planning commission Business.
FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT - APPROVED UNDER CONSENT
AGENDA
The Finance Committee met in the County Administration
conference area at 107 North Kent Street on Wednesday,
January 17, 1996 at 8:00 a.m. All committee members were
present as well as James L. Longerbeam, Chairman of the
Board of Supervisors.
The agenda items are as follows:

priation in the Amount of $15.000
This represents grant monies received for a community
