PUBLIC HEARING
Conditional Use Permit 926-99 of Nanette M. McFarland for a kennel (pet -sitting business). The
property is located at 3782 Wardensville Grade and is identified with P.I.N. 59 -A -20E in the Back Creek
Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval w/ Conditions
Mr. Mark R. Cheran, Planner I, read the background information and review agency
comments. Mr. Cheran stated that kennels are a permitted use in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District with
an approved conditional use permit. He said that the applicant has stated that the operation will involve
boarding approximately five animals in the basement of her home. Mr. Cheran added that the property is
surrounded by mature woodlands and the nearest property is 150' from the applicant's residence.
Ms. Nanette M. McFarland was present to answer questions from the Commission.
Members of the Commission inquired if the applicant would be able to keep all animals
indoors, especially during the night and Ms. McFarland replied that she would.
There were no public comments.
Members of the Commission believed that as long as the animals were kept inside of a
completely enclosed structure, the impact on the surrounding neighborhood should be minimal.
Upon motion made by Mr. Romine and seconded by Mr. Ours,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit #26-99 of Nanette M. McFarland for a kennel (pet -sitting business) at
3782 Wardensville Grade with the following conditions:
All agency comments should be complied with at all times.
2. All requirements of the Frederick County Code and the Code of Virginia pertaining to kennels shall
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of December 1, 1999 Page 444
-3 -
be complied with at all times.
3. No more than five animals other than those owned by the applicant shall be boarded at one time.
4. Any proposed business sign shall conform with the Cottage Occupation requirements (sign shall not
exceed four square feet).
5. Any expansion of this use would require a new Conditional Use Permit.
Conditional Use Permit #27-99 of Stuart M. Perry, Inc. for a Commercial Outdoor Recreation Facility
(golf course). This property is located at 1052 Merrimans Lane and is identified with P.I.N. 52-A-313
and 52-A-88 in the Back Creek District.
Action - Recommended Approval w/ Conditions
Mr. Mark R. Cheran, Planner I, stated that the zoning ordinance allows commercial outdoor
recreation facilities in the RA (Rural Areas) Zoning District with a conditional use permit. Mr. Cheran said
that the property is located outside of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) and, therefore, public sewer
and water services are not available to the property. Mr. Cheran reported that the Health Department has
stated that any use of an on-site sewage disposal system must be initiated by an application with a design by
a Virginia Professional Engineer, following a soil evaluation of the property. Mr. Cheran said that the
applicant is in the process of addressing these Health Department comments.
Mr. Cheran continued, stating that staff is recommending limiting the number of signs along
Route 37 to one and limiting the sign size to a maximum of 50 square feet, to be in keeping with the rural
character ofthe area. Mr. Cheran also stated that an engineered site plan will be required for the proposed use
and must address all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the various reviewing agencies.
Mr. Dennis W. Perry, President, representing the application for Stuart M. Perry, Inc., was
available to answer questions from the Commission.
Chairman DeHaven called for public comment and the following persons came forward to
speak:
Mr. Aurther Littman, owner of the adjoining Candy Hill Campground, spoke in favor of the
proposed golf course.
Mr. Greg Baruffi, a resident on Fox Drive, also supported the proposed golf course, but he
had some environmental concerns, particularly with Abrams Creek and the wetlands on the Willow Grove
Farm. He commented that he, along with several other Shenandoah University students, had recently presented
to the Board of Supervisors the findings of a study conducted in this area. He pointed out that the wetlands
in the Willow Grove Farm area contain about a dozen plant species that are rare to the State of Virginia. He
hoped that all environmental regulations would be followed regarding the use of pesticides, herbicides, and
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of December 1, 1999 Page 445

fertilizers and that the proposed golf course would be designed and constructed to be "environmentally
friendly."
The subject of failing septic systems in the Round Hill area was raised by members of the
Commission and a discussion ensued concerning the pursuit of extending water and sewer service to Round
Hill, in light of the development that is occurring in this area. The Planning Staff pointed out that the County's
long-range plans are to ultimately extend a line paralleling the west side of Route 37 from the Route 522
interchange area. It was also noted that if and when the DeGrange property develops, sewer and water will
probably be extended to accommodate that property and the developers may participate in that effort in some
form.
Members of the Commission were very much in favor of the type of development proposed
by Stuart M. Perry, Inc. They believed it served multiple purposes by keeping green and open space and
providing recreational amenities to the- citizens of the County.
Upon motion made by Mr. Ours and seconded by Mr. Romine,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit #27-99 of Stuart M. Perry, Inc. for a Commercial Outdoor Recreational
Facility (golf course) at 1052 Merrimans Lane in the Back Creek Magisterial District with the following
conditions:
All review agency comments must be addressed and complied with at all times.
2. One business sign shall be allowed along Route 37; this sign shall be limited to a maximum of 50
square feet in area.
An engineered site plan shall be approved by the County.
Any expansion of use beyond the proposed 18 holes or construction of additional facilities would
require a new conditional use permit.
Conditional Use Permit 428-99 of Kenneth E. Hottinger for a public garage without body repair. This
property is located at 1057 Ridings Mill Road and is identified with P.I.N. 92 -A -3B in the Opequon
Magisterial District.
No Action - Application Withdrawn by the Applicant
Ms. Amy M. Lohr, Planner I, read the background information and review agency comments.
Ms. Lohr stated that public garages without auto body repair are a permitted use in the RA (Rural Areas)
Zoning District with an approved conditional use permit (CUP) provided that all repair work takes place
entirely within an enclosed structure and all exterior storage of parts and equipment is fully screened from the
view of surrounding properties. Ms. Lohr explained that this application was submitted following a site
inspection by the staff which was initiated by a citizen complaint. The inspection revealed that Mr. Hottinger
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of December 1, 1999 Page 446
-5 -
was operating his business without the required CUP. She further stated that an existing 1,200 -square -foot
garage will serve as the location for the operation and it is situated approximately 900 feet from Ridings Mill
Road. She added that the garage is generally screened from adjoining properties by mature vegetation and
trees.
Mr. Kenneth E. Hottinger, the owner and applicant, was available to answer questions from
the Commission.
Members of the Commission had questions for Mr. Hottinger on the number of days per week
he intended to work, how he planned to dispose of fuels, lubricants, paints, batteries, and if his garage had a
concrete floor with a floor drain.
Mr. Hottinger replied that he intends to work three days per week at the site, no Saturdays or
Sundays; he disposes of chemicals by taking them to a friend's shop in Front Royal who has an appropriate
disposal receptacle; and, his garage has a solid concrete floor with a floor drain.
Chairman DeHaven called for public comments and the following persons came forward to
speak:
Mr. Glenn Martin, President of Dynatec, Inc., an adjoining property owner, said that when
he purchased his property ten years ago, the Homeowners Association indicated that there would be no
commercial development permitted. Mr. Martin said that he became aware of Mr. Hottinger's operation when
a neighbor approached him and thought he was using the back of his property for a junk yard. Mr. Martin said
that upon investigation, he discovered there were approximately 20 wrecked vehicles at the property line on
Mr. Hottinger's side. Mr. Martin said that he notified the Frederick County Zoning Administrator of the
situation. Mr. Martin continued stating that since he works in a service facility, he is aware of the problems
encountered such as leaking fuels and chemicals from vehicles in need of repair, and he was concerned about
the environmental damage that could occur. He explained that the road to Mr. Hottinger's property is a three-
mile narrow, dirt and gravel road. Mr. Martin added that the 20 vehicles have not been removed from the area,
but just have been moved to a neighbor's property. He believed this operation was an inappropriate use for
this area.
Mr. Carl Haines, an adjoining property owner, stated that he has put in considerable work
in the last 12 years to make his residential property aesthetically pleasing and he clearly did not want to have
a junkyard located next to him. Mr. Haines was also concerned about the environmental damage from
chemicals, such as antifreeze, ethylene glycol, and motor oil, draining out of vehicles. In response to a question
from one of the Commissioners, Mr. Haines replied that he was made aware of this use last summer, through
Mr. Martin.
Ms. Barbara Weimer, adjoining property owner, said that Ridings Mill Road is a narrow, dirt
road and she was concerned about the extra traffic and roll -back trucks hauling cars in. Ms. Weimer said that
she became aware of Mr. Hottinger's operation about a year ago when she observed roll -back trucks going into
the property.
Ms. Jackie Cooley, a neighbor across the road, was concerned about the condition of Ridings
Mill Road. Ms. Cooley said that Ridings Mill Road has not been improved in the 30 years that she's lived
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of December 1, 1999 Page 447
there. She has observed increasing amounts of traffic. She said that three or four school buses travel the road
and the road is not wide enough for vehicles to pass.
Mr. Hottinger came back to the podium and stated that he wished to withdraw his application,
as he did not realize there was so much opposition from the neighbors.
No further action was needed or taken by the Commission.
PUBLIC MEETING
Request for a waiver to the cul-de-sac length requirement, Section 144-17.G () of the Frederick County
Subdivision Ordinance, submitted by Artz & Associates, Inc. on behalf of Norman J. Secrist, to permit
a cul-de=sac length of 2,500 feet. This property is located on Wright's Road (Rt. 661) and is identified
with P.I.N. 23-A-5 in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
Action - Tabled
Mr. Michael M. Artz of Artz & Associates, Inc. explained that ultimately, the intention was
to place the proposed road in this particular site and lots that were originally a part of this property, that were
road frontage, have since been conveyed and divided out of the property. Mr. Artz said that this is the only
location available to provide access to the remaining property. He commented that Mr. Secrist had to purchase
some property back in order to be able to dedicate land for State road purposes_
Numerous questions were raised by the Commission. They expressed concern about whether
or not the necessity of approving the waiver was solely to allow more lots to be developed. They expressed
concern over whether approving the request would encourage development outside of the UDA. They inquired
if there was any topographic hardship involved. There was concern that continued approval of cul-de-sacs
throughout the County would create a "patchwork" transportation system and it would ruin the County's road
network. Members of the Commission inquired if the applicant had explored the feasibility of extending the
road into Orchardale or explored the possibility of looping the road.
Mr. Norman J. Secrist, the owner, said that he was not aware of the cul-de-sac length
requirement when he started his project three years ago. He said that he realized that ignorance is no excuse
for breaking the law, but he just did not know that what he was doing was illegal. Mr. Secrist said that he has
already spent a considerable amount of money cutting in the roads and perking all of the lots. He said that the
65 acres remaining of this orchard is absolutely worthless ground for farming.
Mr. Kris C. Tierney, Planning Director, stated that he worked with the Rural Issues Committee
several years ago and was involved in many discussions about how rural areas should be developed. Mr.
Tierney said that when a limit on cul-de-sac length was instituted, the focus of the discussion at the time was
strictly on residential performance lots and the justification was emergency services. He said that the limit on
cul-de-sac length was not instituted as a way to prevent development of five -acre lots in a rural area. Mr.
Tierney commented that if Mr. Secrist would stub the road out to the property line, it would no longer
Frederick County Planning Cominission
Minutes of December 1, 1999 Page 448

technically be considered a cul-de-sac.
The Planning Commission discussed the possibility of tabling this request, thereby giving the
applicant additional time to explore the possibility of extending the road into Orchardale or looping the road.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Wilson,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby table the request for a
waiver to the cul-de-sac length requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance, Section 114-17.G(1), submitted by
Artz & Associates, Inc. on behalf of Norman J. Secrist, to the first meeting in January, 2000, by the following
majority vote:
YES (To Table): Miller, Thomas, Romine, Wilson, DeHaven
NO: Ours, Copenhaver, Morris
OTHER
Mr. Michael T. Ruddy, Zoning Administrator, said that rather than having a Development
Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) meeting at the end of December, the Planning Staff felt that
the December 15'' Planning Commission meeting could be used to discuss a couple of DRRS items, since a
fairly light agenda is anticipated. The Planning Commission agreed with that suggestion.

PUBLIC MEETING
Master Development Plan #04-99 of Lexington Court, submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C. This property
is located on Fairfax Pike (Rt. 277), 0.9 miles east of I-81, and is identified with P.I.N. 86-5-B in the
Opequon Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval
Chairman DeHaven said that he would abstain from discussion and voting on this master
development plan due to a possible conflict of interest. Vice Chairman Marker conducted the meeting.
Mr. Chris M. Mohn, Planner II, read the background information and review agency
comments. Mr. Mohn said that staff has identified three issues associated with this master development plan:
transportation, non -conforming structure status, and the road efficiency buffer. Regarding the transportation
issue, Mr. Mohn stated that the applicant has provided a 12 -foot dedicated strip of land to accommodate the
right -of --way requirements for the future widening of Fairfax Pike (Rt. 277). He said that VDOT has advised
the staff that such dedication adequately satisfies the projeci's right-of-way needs along the frontage of the
development. Regarding the other two issues, Mr. Mohn stated that the approval of this master development
plan will result in the creation of non -conformities relative to the existing dwelling. He said the first is the
dwelling's encroachment within the front yard setback required from the Lexington Court right-of-way and the
second is its location within the area that would otherwise be reserved as a road efficiency buffer. He noted
that it is the staffs opinion that the origination of such non -conformities through master plan approval may
be considered legal given the existence of the dwelling prior to the adoption of the subject standards.
Mr. Timothy G. Painter, P.E. ofPainter-Lewis, P.L.C., representing the owner/developer, was
present to answer questions from the Commission. The applicant believed that placing the road efficiency
buffer in front of the existing dwelling would detract from its appearance and the subsequent development.
Members of the Commission inquired why Hammer Court was not extended all the way
through to Fairfax Pike (Rt. 277). The applicant responded that VDOT preferred not to extend Hammer Court
because it could result in the creation of a thoroughfare. Members of the Commission pointed out that a state -
maintained road through this area was not possible anyway, because of the parking areas coming out onto the
street.
There were no public comments.
Although the approval of the proposed master development plan would result in the
aforementioned non -conformities, the Commission believed it was otherwise consistent with the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Romine,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Master Development Plan #04-99 of Lexington Court, submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C.
contingent upon the applicant's ability to adequately address all comments and concerns of the Planning

Commission and the Board of Supervisors, as well as the technical comments of all review agencies.
(Note: Chairman DeHaven abstained from voting on this item.)
Waiver request from the driveway alignment requirement for motor vehicle access, Section 165-29.A.(12)
Motor Vehicle Access, Zoning Ordinance, for the proposed Michael G. Prelip office complex in the
Commonwealth Business Center. This property is located on Commonwealth Court, off Route 11, and
is identified with P.I.N. 75 -A -91E in the Back Creek Magisterial District.
Action - Unanimously Approved
Chairman DeHaven said that he would abstain from discussion and voting on this waiver
request due to a possible conflict of interest. Vice Chairman Marker conducted the meeting.
Ms. Amy M. Lohr, Planner I, stated that the Planning Commission has received a request from
Mr. Timothy G. Painter, P.E. on behalf of the above -referenced development to permit an alternative to the
driveway alignment requirement which requires that new driveways be aligned with existing or planned
driveways. Ms. Lohr stated that the site plan for Prelip's office complex shows two 20 -foot driveways, neither
of which align with the 40 foot planned driveway across Commonwealth Court. She noted that the proposed
driveways have been centered with respect to the opposing entrance.
Ms. Lohr continued, stating that the Planning Commission has the authority to allow other
means of access that do not meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance when methods of controlling motor
vehicle access that promote safe and convenient access to and from the site are implemented. She said that the
applicant has proposed a pattern of one-way circulation, controlling access in a manner that advances safe and
convenient access to and from the site. In order to further promote efficient travel along Commonwealth Court,
Ms_ Lohr said that the staff would recommend the provision of additional signage and appropriate pavement
markings at each driveway entrance to highlight the circulation patterns.
Mr. Timothy G. Painter, P.E. ofPainter-Lewis, P.L.C., representing the owner/developer, was
present to answer questions from the Commission. Mr. Painter explained that the circulation pattern proposed
will separate truck traffic from the parking.
Members of the Commission asked for the anticipated traffic count. Mr. Painter replied that
the office is projected to have 227 vehicles per day and one or two truck visits per day. Commission members
inquired if Commonwealth Court would be a state -maintained road and staff noted that it is planned to be a
state -maintained road.
There were no public comments.
Members of the Commission believed the traffic circulation pattern proposed would work,
however, they stated that proper signage along Commonwealth Court was paramount to its success. Mr.
Painter assured the Commission of his intention to install all the proper signs.

Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously approve a
driveway alignment waiver request, Section 165-29.A.(12) ofthe Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, for Mr.
Timothy G. Painter, P.E. of Painter -Lewis, P.L.C. on behalf of the Michael G. Prelip Office Complex.
(Note: Chairman DeHaven abstained from voting on this waiver request.)
Waiver request from the lot access requirement, Section 144-24.C(2)b. of the Frederick County
Subdivision Ordinance, submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C. on behalf of Satian Enterprises, Inc. to
permit the location of multi -family housing in excess of 500 feet from a state -maintained road. This
property is located at the intersection of Valley Mill Road (Rt. 659) and Brookland Lane (Rt. 658) and
is identified with P.I.N. 54-2-1 in the Shawnee Magisterial District.
Action - Unanimously Approved
Mr. Christopher M. Mohn, Planner II, stated that the Planning Commission has received a
request from Mr_ Timothy G. Painter, P.E. of Painter -Lewis, P.L.C., on behalf of the above -referenced
development for a waiver of the lot access requirement applicable to multi -family housing. Mr. Mohn
explained that the applicant has submitted a site plan for the development of nine apartment buildings that will
consist of 88 two-bedroom units. He said that access to the proposed development will occur solely via an
entrance from Brookland Lane (Rt. 65 8) with circulation through the site facilitated by a system of driveway
loops that connect to a central travelway. He said that the site plan depicts the location of buildings `B" and
"I" at distances of 670' and 715' from the entrance to the development, respectively. Mr. Mohn stated that the
maximum allowable distance for multi -family housing from access to a state -maintained road is 500'. Mr.
Mohn said that the applicant is seeking a waiver ofthis requirement to facilitate revision ofthe approved master
development plan that would permit the layout proposed on the site plan.
Mr. Mohn continued, stating that the proposed layout would involve the elimination of a
second entrance to the site directly from Valley Mill Road (Rt. 659), which was included on the original master
development plan. Mr. Mohn said that the elimination of the second entrance will arguably improve the safety
and efficiency of the traffic flow on Valley Mill Road as its intersection with Brookland Lane will be the focal
point for access to both sections of the condominium complex. Mr. Mohn believed that the applicant had
incorporated design features into the proposed development that result in a desirable circulation pattern which
may satisfy the criteria for a waiver of the access standard applicable to multi -family housing_
Mr. Timothy G. Painter, P.E. of Painter -Lewis, P.L.C. said that this particular layout was
used in order to contain all the traffic on the site and to funnel traffic out to Brookland Lane instead of to
Valley Mill Road because of the high volume of traffic already using Valley Mill Road. Mr. Painter believed
that another entrance onto Valley Mill Road could be detrimental to the site and could make an unsafe
condition, if motorists tried to use this site as a shortcut.
There were no public comments.

No issues of concern were raised by the Planning Commission, The Commission believed the
design features incorporated by the applicant would result in a desirable circulation pattern for the proposed
development and would satisfy the criteria for a waiver of the required access standards.
Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Romine,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously approve the
waiver request from the lot access requirement, Section 144-24.C(2)b. of the Frederick County Subdivision
Ordinance submitted by Painter -Lewis, P.L.C. on behalf of Satian Enterprises, Inc. to permit the location of
multi -family housing in excess of 500' from a state -maintained road.
DISCUSSION
Joint discussion between Planning Commission and the Development Review and Regulations
Subcommittee regarding the provisions for access to loading areas.
Mr. Michael T. Ruddy, Zoning Administrator, stated that over recent months, staff has
reviewed several site plans that propose various kinds of loading areas. He said that generally, the
requirements for loading spaces are relatively straightforward, however, access to loading areas, in particular
the surface materials used, invokes a considerable amount of debate. Mr. Ruddy stated that it is the staff's
interpretation that access to all loading spaces shall be provided via driveways and aisles meeting the
requirements for parking lots contained in Section 165-27 and, therefore, the surface materials provided should
be appropriate for the zoning district in which the development is located. He added that the staff is seeking
to clarify its interpretation of the requirement with the confirmation of the Planning Commission and the
Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) in order -to maintain consistency in application
of the standards and to give firm direction to the development community of the acceptable standards for
loading areas.
Mr. Timothy G. Painter, P.E. of Painter -Lewis, P.L.C. also participated in this discussion.
The Commission affirmed the staff s interpretation of the ordinance as presented above. In
addition, a possible solution to provide a flexible alternative to paving was presented in which a threshold for
loading space would be instituted. Areas exceeding "X" amount of loading space would require paving. It was
felt that one or two loading bays would not generate a lot of traffic, however, five, ten or more loading bays
would involve significantly more truck traffic and the need for a durable surface material. The Commission
believed this would address the small business versus the big facility philosophy.
Types of surface material used for paving were also discussed. It was pointed out that the
wording in the ordinance calls for bituminous concrete, concrete, or similar materials as permitted paving
materials, however, only bituminous concrete or concrete has been approved in the past. It was stated by Mr.
Painter that members of the development community consider double prime and seal treatment (or tar and chip)
as a "similar material." Staff advised that if the consensus of the Commission is that tar and chip is not

considered to be a legitimate substitute, then the phrase "similar materials" should be removed from the
ordinance to avoid misinterpretation.
Members of the DRRS believed they received the direction needed to write a proposed
amendment, which they would bring back to the Commission for review.

Health Department: The application submitted to this office does not indicate a proposed
use (item 8). On November 9, 1999, Planner Mark Cheran stated that the proposed use
involves no actual business operation on the property and no employees occupying the
premises. Therefore, this office has no objection since, according to the above, no sewage
disposal facilities will be necessary to accommodate the proposed use.
Sanitation Authority: No comment.
Planning and Zoning: This proposed use would qualify as a cottage occupation; cottage
occupations are permitted in the RA (Rural Areas) District with an approved Conditional Use
Permit. This structure is a two -bay garage with an attached office from which the business
activities are conducted. As previously noted, this property is zoned RA and the garage is
situated 150 feet from adjoining properties. The property is surrounded by natural wooded
buffers and screening which would mitigate any impacts on adjoining properties.
Staff would recommend that the applicant be limited to having two (2) backhoes on the
property. No outdoor storage of parts or equipment associated with the business shall be
permitted. In accordance with cottage occupation requirements, the backhoes should be
located wholly in the garage. Staff feels that based upon evaluation of the property and the
limited scale of the proposed use, it appears that this business will not have any significant
impact on the adjoining properties.
STAFF CONCLUSIONS FOR THE 02-02-00 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2. No more than two (2) backhoes shall be kept on the property.
All equipment and storage associated with the business shall be kept wholly within the
accessory structure; to include the backhoes.
4. No additional employees shall be permitted.
Any proposed business sign shall conform to Cottage Occupation sign requirements; sign shall
not exceed four (4) square feet.
6. Any change of use or expansion of the business will require a new Conditional Use Permit.

RE: 2000-2001 Capital Improvements Plan Public Hearing
DATE: January 21, 2000
540/665-5651
FAX: 540/673-0632
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) has forwarded the 2000-2001 Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) to the Planning Commission for approval. The CPPS evaluated new project
requests provided by the Frederick County School Board, the Regional Airport Authority, and the
Frederick County Parks and Recreation Department. Following this evaluation, the CPPS modified
the project rankings and financial data accordingly. The CPPS directed staff to prepare the final CIP
document for discussion and public hearings by the Planning Commission and the Board of
Supervisors.
The 2000-2001 Cl? was presented for discussion during the January 5, 2000 Planning Commission
meeting and during the January 12, 2000 Board of Supervisors meeting. Based on questions raised
during the Planning Commission discussion, it was determined that land acquisition was not part of
the cost for the Frederick County Public School Transportation -Maintenance -Central Warehouse
facility, and the Winchester Regional Airport was not enabled to establish a capital fund for facilities
development. Discussion by the Board of Supervisors confirmed the appropriateness of project
priorities; however, additional information regarding project cost estimates was requested.
Please find included with this agenda item a summary of the CIP, tables for new project requests and
project modification requests, the recommended 2000-2001 Frederick County CIP, and a pie chart
depicting the departmental percentages based on the proposed requests. Staff asks that the Planning
Commission conduct a public hearing for the update of the 2000-2001 CIP and forward a
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.

RE: Northeastern Land Use Study Public Information Meetings
DATE: January 20, 2000
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) conducted two visioning meetings
at Stonewall Elementary School on January 13, 2000 and January 18, 2000. The goal for these
meetings was to provide educational opportunities, demonstrate- the benefits of guiding land use
decisions through an adopted land use plan, and identify issues that were of importance to the meeting
participants. The attendance for both meetings involved 144 -participants, not including county
officials, subcommittee members, staff, and the news media.
The CPPS dedicated approximately half of each meeting to conduct a visioning session with the
meeting participants. This involved issues identification by the participants, followed by a rating of
the three most significant issues by those who chose to vote. The CPPS also provided the
participants with a comment sheet and a self-addressed, metered envelope to solicit input. The
information within this agenda item is intended to advise the Planning Commission of the issues that
were identified by the meeting participants, the results of the voting for these issues, and the
comments received by staff to date.

COMMENT SKEET
The following information reflects the comments received by the Planning Department at this time.
This document will be modified accordingly as additional comment sheets are received. '
Do you agree with the land use study area boundary limits, or do you believe that the boundary
should be adjusted? If so, please explain.
The study area boundary limits are reasonable and justifiable. (4)
What land uses do you feel are appropriate for the study area? Are there specific locations within
the study area in which you would envision these land uses occurring?
Water and sewer service needs to be extended to the Brucetown and Stephenson Community
Centers.
Commercial and industrial land uses situated along the Route 11 corridor from Clearbrook
to the West Virginia line, bounded by Interstate 81 to the west and the Winchester and
Western Railroad to the east. (2)
In order of priority, what issues do you feel are important to address in the development of a land
use plan for this study area?
• Provide adequate services; Develop road systems to support land use; Identify proposed
and/or pending development proposals.
• Develop a slow growth policy to keep the general area in agriculture and forest; Carefully
reevaluate the need and purpose of the Route 37 By-pass from Route 7 to Interstate 81.
• Ensuring that the rights of landowners who have properties in the appropriate location for
development are recognized and protected during rezoning and development processes;
Extending the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) to appropriate development locations.
• Sewer; Sewer; Sewer - the rest will take care of itself.
Other comments?
Develop the present study area (Route 11 North Land Use Plan) before expanding it. Enough
studies, get on with progress. (2)
The public in general needs to be reassured that the county is sincere in their intentions in
planning proper land use for this area.
Please be advised that the Stonewall Sewer Line Organization Committee has a preliminary
study in hand that may be of assistance to the county.

MEMO TO: Frederick County Comprehensive Plans and Programs
FROM: James D_ Stillwell, et -al
High Banks Farm, 423. High Banks Rd., Stephenson, VA
RE: Land Use Study - NE Frederick County
We support the effort to prepare a plan for the area and would suggest the following be
considered in the pian:
1. Reduce Taxes - For property owners who want to leave their land undeveloped - don't force
development by increased taxation.
2. Sav BaQdr, Sites, Roads and Facilities, at all costs. Stop "building torn down for a
parking lot".
3. Concentrate Development - of commercial/industrial and residential to limited, more dense
areas so open land can be preserved, therefore, allowing for a moderate -average density
growth, but restricted to specific areas, leaving open underdeveloped land elsewhere.
4. Provide Water, Sewer and Roads - to the designated development areas to help facilitate
development in the assigned areas - again, the pian is to keep as much open, undeveloped
land as possible, while providing adequate growth.
5. Establish New Design Standards - for the beautification of commercial/industrial areas to
avoid the ugliness that now exists.
6. Rt. 37 - Try to integrate the Rt. 37 by-pass with Rt. 7, therefore avoiding the disruption of
constructing a new road. We need the by-pass, but expand Rt. 7 as the eastern connector.
