ITEM #1
Kent Barley Property
PARCEL REMOVAL REQUEST
Please find attached a letter from Kent Barley of Kent Barley Orchards, Inc., to the Department of
Planning and Development dated February 6, 2003. Mr. Barley has requested the removal of one
parcel from the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District. The South Frederick Agricultural
and Forestal District was established in 1980 and has been renewed four times. The most recent
renewal of this district occurred in March 2000 for a period of five years. Currently, 11,601 acres
are contained in this district.
Mr. Barley desires to remove one parcel totaling 149.062 acres from the South Frederick Agricultural
and Forestal District. Mr. Barley does not intend to leave the apple industry at this time, yet has
identified a need for flexibility of options in regards to future estate planning. Section 15.2-4314 of
the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, provides property owners with the ability to request removal
of land from an agricultural and forestal district through a public process via the local governing body.
Attached is a map which delineates the location of this acreage and its proximity to other land within
the South Frederick Agricultural and Forestal District. Staff requests that the Agricultural District
Advisory Committee consider this request and forward a recommendation to the Planning
Commission and the Board of Supervisors for final determination regarding this matter.

Dear Eric
lam requesting you commence the procedure to remove my property
ID # 74A13 from the South Frederick Agricultural District. It consists of
149.062 Acres.
With the agricultural economy in the straits it is in I feel we must have
the flexibility to better plan our future and estate matters. 1 don't intend to
leave the apple industry, but 1 need more options with my only resource which
is land. My grandfather bought this property in 1867. I have very strong ties to it.
Thank �ou,
