By providing funding for the initial United States Geological Survey study of the carbonate aquifer system in Frederick County, you set the stage for a multi disciplinary study that has grown to six counties in two states in the Shenandoah Valley. Other areas are joining the program that now attracts world class scientists from the US government who bring their own funding to the effort. Minute Book Number 30 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 03/23/05 413. These studies incorporate many scientific aspects, including geologic, hydrologic, ecologic, and cartographic data from previous work as well as ongoing programs. A series of comprehensive computer models of the flow system will be developed that will serve as the focal point for characterizing the ground-water-t1ow system. Ground water-flow models will be developed at the local (square mile), sub-regional (IO's of square miles), and regional (IOO's of square miles) scale to assess the flow system. When complete, the models will be documented and published for future use by interested stakeholders within the study area. The findings of this study can be incorporated into the ongoing deliberations of the Regional Water Policy Resources Committee (RWRPC) and provide a more solid basis for their recommendations. Good data and science are the cornerstones for properly managing our water resources to meet the future needs of this region.

Ron Mislowsky, Patton, Harris, Rust, & Associates, appeared before the Board on behalf of the applicant.

The above motion was approved by the following recorded vote: Richard C. Shickle Gary W. Dove Bill M. Ewing Gene E. Fisher Gina A. Forrester Lynda J. Tyler Barbara E. Van Osten Aye Aye Aye Aye Absent Aye Aye MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN #04-05 OF KERNSTOWN COMMONS. - APPROVED Planner II Candice Perkins appeared before the Board regarding this item. She stated that this was a master development plan for proposed commercial uses located on property at the southeast corner ofthe intersection of Route 11 and Route 37, in the Shawnee Magisterial District. She then reviewed the outstanding issues relative to this plan: I. Route 11 should have a landscaped/planted median. Tfthe median is removed then the plan is not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The number of interstate overlay signs should be limited to one and that other signs on the site be monument signs. 3. The loading area at the rear of the site should be screened from Interstate 81. 4. The applicant is working with VDOT on an access break. Staff does not support the right in/right out access. Planner II Perkins concluded by saying that incorporation ofthe vision of the Comprehensive Plan into the Master Development Plan is important. Vice-Chairman Dove asked if the Interstate Overlay District allows only one sign. Planner II Perkins responded that the applicant is only asking for one overlay sign and they are permitted have only one overlay sign. Ron Mislowsky, Patton, Harris, Rust, & Associates, advised that the applicant anticipated coming back to the Board to request a waiver to allow commercial lots to be served by a private road, if the property is to be subdivided. With regard to access, the applicant would construct the main entrance only, but would develop others ifVDOT allowed (e.g. a right in/right out entrance at the Route 37 on/off ramp). With regard to the median issue, Me. Mislowsky stated that the issue is moving the cars on Route 11 north over enough to allow a landscaped median. If it could accommodate the cars on a north bound trip then the applicant would provide a grass median. Minute Book Number 30 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 03/23/05 419 Engineer Lloyd Engram, VDOT, advised that VDOT was looking at a single entrance for the site. They arc also looking at vehicle trips per day to see ifthe entrance can handle thc amount of traffic. He went on to say that he could not address the issue of two entrances until an access break is granted. That request must go through the Commonwealth Transportation Board. Supervisor Tyler asked why the Board would not want to grant the private street waivcr at this point. Planning Dircctor Eric Lawrence responded that the request has not been made, but it would bc appropriate for the Board to grant, since it is a Board decision. Supervisor Tyler asked Mr. Mislowsky if the applicant was looking at subdividing the lot. Mr. Mislowsky responded yes. Director Lawrence stated that there were no issues with the waiver. Supcrvisor Fisher moved to preliminarily approve Master Development Plan #04-05 subject to the four issues raised by staff being addressed: landscaped median, signagc, VDOT's concern with existing entrance, and screening along 1-81. Tfthese issues cannot be resolved, then the staff will bring this plan back to the Board. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Ewing. The Board discussed the private street waiver. Supervisor Van Osten moved to amend the motion to approve thc waiver to permit the commercial lots to be served by private streets. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Tyler.
