and the Sanitation Authority's Chairman, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Miller said that Mr. Jones and Mr. Anderson
gave an outstanding and professional presentation on the current water situation and forecast through 2025.
Mr. Miller said that the prediction for water availability is very good.
Mr. Miller continued, stating that at the Authority's meeting on August 15, 2000, a decision
was made on the advice of counsel, not to put in writing the fact that if the Authority causes a well to go bad,
that they will correct the situation.
PUBLIC MEETING
Master Development Plan #05-00 of the TREX Center, submitted by Space, L.L.C., to develop a 9.7 -acre
area for the purpose of establishing an office park and commercial center. This property is located at
the intersection of North Frederick Pike (Rt. 522) and Fox Drive (Rt. 739) and is identified with P.I.N.
42 -A -198G in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, read the background information and review
agency comments. Mr. Wyatt said that VDOT has recognized an opportunity that may exist on the northern
portion of this site for access to this property internally, from Route 522. This would potentially allow for
access at a signalized intersection with Fox Drive.
Mr. Wyatt continued, stating that the proposed master development plan conforms to the
interchange business area concept that is described within the Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Policy
Plan, as well as to the statement of intent for uses within the B2 (Business General) section of the Zoning
Ordinance. He said that the master development plan design will also mitigate traffic impacts to North
Frederick Pike by facilitating internal traffic movement between uses. He recommended that the applicant work
with the adjoining landowners to the west to determine if improvements can be made which would facilitate
traffic movement to the signalized intersection at North Frederick Pike and Fox Drive.

Mr. Wyatt added that Mr. John Lewis and Mr. Ty Lawson, who were both representing the
applicant, were available to answer questions from the Commission.
Mr. John Lewis of Painter -Lewis, P.L.C., the design/engineering firm representing the
applicant, came forward to answer questions from the Commission. A member ofthe Commission asked Mr.
Lewis if there had been any contact with adjoining property owners to explore the possibility of constructing
the entrance at the signal. Mr. Lewis replied that a meeting was held with the adjacent property owner, Long
Rural International, Ltd. Partnership, concerning joint use ofthe access point. Mr. Lewis said that Long Rural
International, Ltd. is currently considering the proposal and his client, TREX Center, is willing to participate
in the construction of that access.
There were no public comments.
Mr. Miller moved for approval of the master plan with the stipulation that the applicant
continue negotiations with the adjoining property owner in attempt to bring to Tuition the additional entrance
into the property at the signalized intersection at North Frederick Pike and Fox Drive. This motion was
seconded by Mr. Ours and unanimously approved.
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Master Development Plan #05-00 of TREX Center, submitted by Space, L.L.C., to develop a 9.7 -
acre area for the purpose of establishing an office park and commercial center at the intersection of North
Frederick Pike (Rt. 522) and Fox Drive (Rt. 739) with the stipulation that the applicant continue negotiations
with the adjoining property owner in an attempt to bring about fruition of the additional entrance into the
property at the signalized intersection at North Frederick Pike and Fox Drive.
(Note: Mr. John Light abstained from voting on this item.)
REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF THE ZONING DISTRICT BUFFER REQUIREMENTS OF THE
ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 165-37.D BY GARBER ICE CREAM
Action - Approved
Ms. Amy M. Lohr, Planner II, stated that the Planning Commission has received a request
from Greenway Engineering on behalf of Garber Ice Cream Company to permit a waiver of the zoning district
buffer requirement ofthe Zoning Ordinance. She said that the subject parcel is currently zoned B2 (Business
General) and the adjoining parcel to the south is zoned M2 (Industrial General); consequently, a Category A
buffer is required by the Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Lohr explained that Category A buffers do not require a
screening element, however, active and inactive buffer areas totaling 50 feet are required. She said that the
proposed warehouse addition to the existing facility extends to within five feet of the shared property line
between the differently -zoned parcels and the required 50 -foot distance buffer is not accomplished. Ms. Lohr
stated that the Planning Commission will need to make a determination if the waiver of the zoning district
buffer requirement is acceptable.
A member of the Commission asked if the expansion of a legal nonconforming use was
possible without a rezoning. Staff noted that the ordinance contains an expansion provision for legal,
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of August 16, 2000 Page 542

nonconforming uses of up to 50%. The Garber Ice Cream facility, a legal nonconforming use, would not
require a rezoning because their proposed expansion is less than 50%. Another question asked was whether
the Fire & Rescue Service had reviewed the waiver request and if issues were raised regarding access to the
rear of the building. Ms. Lohr said that Fire and Rescue is currently reviewing the site plan for the expansion
and this issue would need to be addressed at the site planning stage.
Mr. Jason Thomas with Greenway Engineering, Inc., the design/engineering firm representing
the applicant, came forward to answer questions from the Commission.
A member of the Commission asked if the applicant had contacted the adjoining property
owner, American Freightways, to determine if they had any objections. Mr. Thomas replied that they had not
contacted the adjoining property owner.
Another question raised by a Commission member was whether or not the applicant could
accomplish what he needed by extending the addition towards the property line only as far as a previously
extended portion of the building. Mr. Thomas said that because of the layout in the proposed building, they
will need all the additional space proposed for the project to work.
There were no public comments.
Mr. Miller said that he did not foresee the trucking company having any objections to this
expansion. He said that the Garber's Ice Cream facility has existed at this location long before the County
had zoning. He believed the waiver would be appropriate in this situation and was comfortable that any issues
raised could be addressed at the site plan stage.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Wilson,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously approve the
request of Garber Ice Cream Company for a waiver of the Zoning District Buffer requirement of the Zoning
Ordinance, Section 165-37.D.
DISCUSSION REGARDING THE UPDATE OF THE 2000 COMPREHENSIVE POLICY
PLAN
Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Planning Director, stated that the purpose of the discussion was
to have an opportunity at the Commission level to understand the proposed updates being recommended by the
CPPS (Comprehensive Plans & Programs Subcommittee) for the update of the 2000 Comprehensive Policy
Plan. Mr. Wyatt said that the four main subheadings to be examined are: A) the Northeast Land Use Plan; B)
the Frederick County Sanitation Authority's Long -Range Water Facilities Plan; C) the Frederick County Fire
& Rescue Department's New Station Plans; and, D) Modifications to Existing Language as Proposed by
Various Agencies. In addition, Mr. Wyatt introduced the Sanitation Authority's Director/Engineer, Mr. H.
Wellington Jones, and the Director of Fire & Rescue Services, Mr. Gary A. DuBrueler, should the
Commission have specific questions about those two areas of discussion. Mr. Wyatt next proceeded to discuss
each of the four sections with the Commission.

Minutes of August 16, 2000 Page 543
15.2
A question was raised by a Commissioner regarding a statement within the plan referring to
package treatment plants and the fact that they should be dedicated to a public authority or a sanitary district.
The specific question was if a private individual installed a package treatment plant, could it be dedicated to
the Sanitary District. Mr. Wyatt said that he interpreted that statement to mean that a Sanitary District would
have the ability to use a package plant to provide service to customers within their service area.
Another question raised concerned the comparison between the number of water and sewer
connections and the number of residential building permits issued. Mr. Wyatt gave an estimate of the number
of building permits issued and the number of new residential water and sewer connections. He said that this
supports the trend identified by the Planning Department, which is that one out of every three new residential
dwelling units is being built outside of the County's Urban Development Area.
Mr. Wellington Jones, the Engineer/Director ofthe Sanitation Authority, addressed a question
from the Commission concerning a previous statement he had made that sewer facilities were more of a
problem than providing water within the Northeast Land Use Study Area. Mr. Jones said that sewer was the
biggest problem because of the expense of providing central sewage facilities and the proximity of those
facilities to the study area.
plans.
Mr. Gary A. DuBrueler, Director of Fire & Rescue Services, spoke briefly about new station
Chairman DeHaven called for public comments, however, no one was present to speak.
Mr. Wyatt stated that the CPPS considered all four of the proposed sections at their meeting
on Monday evening, August 14, 2000, and each section received unanimous approval by the CPPS as
presented. Mr. Wyatt believed that the next available date this could go to public hearing was September 6,
2000.
The consensus ofthe Planning Commission was that the proposed 2000 Comprehensive Policy
Plan was an excellent document and it was ready to be advertised for public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING
Conditional Use Permit #11-00 of Anthony D. Overbaugh for a Cottage Occupation to construct tree
stands. This property is located at 140 Theodore Drive and is identified with P.I.N. 51-20-6-31 in the
Back Creek Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Conditions
Mr. Howard R. Long, I1I, Planner I, read the background information and review agency
comments. Mr. Long stated that the permit will allow for the operation of a tree stand constructing business
within an existing outbuilding. He said that adjoining properties appear to be adequately separated from the
location of the proposed use and mature vegetation surrounding the premises serves as an adequate screen.
He added that there will be no retail sales on the site. Mr. Long stated that staff believed the use would be
appropriate with the conditions recommended by the staff.
Mr. Anthony D. Overbaugh was present to answer questions from the Commission. Mr.
Miller inquired if the tree stands would be constructed of metal or wood. Mr. Overbaugh replied that they were
constructed of aluminum. Mr. Thomas asked Mr. Overbaugh if he understood that retail sales at the site were
prohibited. Mr. Overbaugh had no problems with this arrangement and stated that he would sell the tree stands
through local sporting goods shops. Chairman DeHaven asked the applicant if he was comfortable with all
of the conditions as stated and Mr. Overbaugh replied that he was.
There were no citizen comments.
x6ed on the limited scale of the proposed use, the Planning Commission believed the business
could operate without significant impact on the adjoining properties.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit # 11-00 of Anthony D. Overbaugh for a Cottage Occupation to construct
tree stands with the following conditions:
1) All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.

Conditional Use Permit #12-00 of Madison Lodge #6 for a fraternal lodge in an RA (Rural Areas) Zoning
District. This property is located on Martinsburg Pike (Rt. 11) North of Winchester, across from the
Stonewall Elementary School and is identified with P.I.N. 44-A-83 in the Stonewall Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Conditions
Mr. Jeremy F. Camp, Planner I, read the background information and stated that no negative
comments were received from any of the reviewing agencies. Mr. Camp said that nationally chartered fraternal
lodges ar-- only permitted in the RA Zoning District with a conditional use permit. He stated that the proposal
is to construct a.2,'_00 square foot fraternal lodge on a five -acre lot; he said that the size of the lodge should
not adversely affect the residential/ rural character ofthe neighborhood. Mr. Camp continued, stating that staff
has recognized three issues of concern, which were the occasional increase in traffic associated with lodge
meetings and activities, the possible visual impacts of a large sign, and desire for the submittal of a site plan
to avoid future potential problems associated with the construction of the lodge. Mr. Camp read the list of
recommended conditions for approval of the permit.
Mr. Darren Foltz of Greenway Engineering, was present to represent the applicant.
Commissioners asked what type of activities would be conducted at the lodge. Mr. Foltz said that meetings
will be held at the lodge twice a month; there are five active members and 15 members on the books; a grounds-
keeper will be residing on the premises; they will have 11-12 parking spaces available and expect 20-30 vehicle
trips per month.
Commissioners asked if social functions would be conducted at this location. Mr. Foltz said
that the building will not be rented to outsiders for social functions. Commissioners asked if outdoor activity
areas are planned, such as softball fields. Mr. Foltz replied that other than horseshoe pits, no other outdoor
activity areas are planned.
Chairman DeHaven inquired as to why the applicant did not pursue a rezoning instead of a
conditional use permit, due to the amount of money being invested in the construction of the building. Mr.
Foltz replied &at the building will be residential in nature and he believed the adjoining property owners would
not want to see this property rezoned to business.
Mr. Kris C. Tierney, Planning Director, stated that given the nature of the use and the location,
the Commission may want to consider requiring business standards on the site plan in terms of the parking
facility and perhaps a buffer towards the adjoining residential properties.
Mr. Jack Roberts, the Noble Grand of Madison Lodge #6, came forward to answer questions
from the Commission. Mr. Roberts stated that all social activities and regular meetings will occur inside the
Frederick County Planning Commission
Minutes of September 6, 2000 Page 547
lodge itself.

Chairman DeHaven called for public comments, but no one came forward to speak.
Mr. Thomas stated that he would not be in favor of requiring a conditional use in a rural area
to meet the standpvis of a business because of the very limited nature of the operation. Mr. Thomas believed
that if the building and lot were made to conform to business standards, its visual appearance would be quite
obvious in a residential neighborhood.
Based on the limited scale of the proposed use, the Commission believed the lodge could
operate without significant impact on the adjoining residential properties.
Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit # 12-00 of Madison Lodge #6 for a fraternal lodge in an RA (Rural Areas)
Zoning District with the following conditions:
1) All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2) A site plan, prepared by a certified engineer, will be submitted and approved before an occupancy
permit is issued.
3) The size of any future sign on the lot shall be limited to 50 square feet.
4) This Conditional Use Permit will only apply to the approved five -acre plat, which will be given a
property identification number when recorded.
5) Any expansion or change of use will require a new Conditional Use Permit.
Conditional Use Permit #13-00 of Donna Marie Fowler for a Cottage Occupation for an office. This
property is located at 111 Front Drive and is identified with P.I.N. 64B4-2 in the Shawnee Magisterial
District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Conditions
Ms. Amy M. Lohr, Planner H, read the background information and review agency comments.
Ms. Lohr stated that the Cottage Occupation would allow the applicant to prepare paperwork in association
with her business, Fowler Homes. She said that the existing outbuilding, which the applicant plans to remodel,
is located to the rear of the home and is separated by an asphalt drive. Occasionally, customers would visit
the proposed office in conjunction with the purchase of a home. Ms. Lohr said the applicant has stated that
the office would be open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and would be by appointment only. She added that the
existing driveway appears to be adequate to accommodate one or two vehicles in association with the office
use.

Ms. Donna Marie Fowler, the applicant and property owner, was available to answer questions
from the Commission.
There were no citizen comments.
Based on the limited scale of the proposed operation, the Planning Commission believed the
business could operate without significant impact on the adjoining properties.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Kriz,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit #13-00 Donna Marie Fowler for a Cottage Occupation for an office at 111
Front Drive in tine Shawnee Magisterial District with the following conditions:
1) All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2) In accordance with Cottage Occupation sign requirements, signage for the proposed use may not

use permit.
Conditional Use Permit #14-00 of Diana Anwar to operate a bed and breakfast at 197 Carson Lane. This
property is identified with P.I.N. 84-A-47 in the Back Creek Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Conditions
Ms. Amy M. Lohr, Planner II, read the background information and review agency comments.
Ms. Lohr explained that the proposed bed and breakfast operation will take place in the existing home. She
said that since the scale of the proposed use is more intense than is generally associated with a single-family
dwelling unit, it is appropriate to consider this bed and breakfast as a Cottage Occupation. Ms. Lohr said that
the applicant has stated that two or three bedrooms would be rented in association with the operation. She said
that the Health Department has specified that only one bedroom shall be utilized for the business due to the
limited capacity of the existing drainfield. Ms. Lohr said that the applicant is working to expand the existing
drainfield in an effort to accommodate more guests. She commented that Conditional Use Permits for
comparable bed and breakfast operations of this scale have been limited to three bedrooms.
Ms. Lohr continued, stating that the dwelling in which the business will occur is situated on
six acres of land and is approximately 200 feet from the Carson Lane right-of-way. She noted that the
proposed use is consistent with the surrounding land uses. Ms. Lohr next read the stars recommended
conditions for approval of the Conditional Use Permit.

Ms_ Diana Anwar, the property owner and applicant, was available to answer questions from
the Commission. Ms. Anwar stated that she was aware of all the conditions of the permit and was comfortable
with them.
Commissioner George I Kriz asked the applicant if she was aware that when more than six
non -family members served in the home, an industrial kitchen is required. Ms. Anwar said that she planned
to serve only continental breakfasts.
There were no public comments.
The Planning Commission believed that the proposed use would not impact the existing
community in a negative manner, if the applicant complied with all of the review agency comments.
Upon motion made by Mr. Marker and seconded by Mr. Miller,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit # 14-00 of Diana Anwar for a Cottage Occupation for a bed and breakfast
at 197 Carson Lane with the following conditions:
1) All review agency comments and requirements shall be complied with at all times.
2) In accordance with Cottage Occupation sign requirements, signage for the proposed use may not
exceed four square feet in area.
3) No more than one bedroom shall be utilized for the bed and breakfast operation, unless otherwise
permitted by the Winchester -Frederick County Health Department.
4) Should the Health Department allow additional bedrooms, the total number of bedrooms shall not
exceed three.
5) Any expansion of the bed and breakfast beyond three bedrooms shall require a new conditional use
permit.
Conditional Use Permit #15-00 of Dr. Trevor Collins for a veterinary clinic at 6925 Valley Pike. This
property is identified with P.I.N. 84-A-82 in the Opequon Magisterial District.
Action - Recommended Approval with Conditions
Ms. Amy M. Lohr, Planner Il, read the background information and review agency comments.
Ms. Lohr pointed out that the fire marshal has recommended approval, but has specified the need for a defined
parking area to provide for an unobstructed emergency vehicle access. She explained that the applicant intends
to run the business from a currently unoccupied structure, providing consultation and surgery services. She said
that the applicant has stated that the bulk of the veterinary practice will continue to be conducted away from
the office. She added that the applicant has stated that there is no intention of offering non-medical boarding
or proprietary medical sales.

Ms. Lohr continued, stating that there is a need for defined parking area, as well as upgrades
to the existing entrance; it may be appropriate to require a minor site plan as a condition of this application.
She said that in addition, it may be advisable to limit proposed signage. Ms. Lohr next read the staff s
recommended conditions for approval.
Mr. Thomas inquired about the appropriateness of requiring a sixth condition, which would
prohibit the boarding of non-medical animals at the facility.
Dr. Trevor J. Collins, the applicant, stated that he would not have a problem with adding a
sixth condition, as stated by Mr. Thomas. In response to Mr. Reyes' question regarding elimination of animal
wastes, Dr. Collins stated that he will be required to install a separate septic system. Dr. Collins said that most
of the business he will be conducting is over the phone and not in the clinic.
Dr. Collins inquired of the Commission if there really was a need for a minor site plan when
he would not be increasing the size ofthe existing structure; in addition, he was concerned about Condition 44
which stated that, "All activity associated with the business shall be accomplished inside the existing building."
Dr. Collins said that if a client brings a cow or horse in a trailer, he would need to be able to take care of that
animal outside, or be able to walk a large animal outside after it has been treated. Commission members
believed that Condition #4 would not restrict this type of activity for Dr. Collins.
It was also noted that the Health Department has required the removal/disconnection from
septic of the existing mobile home and the applicant has agreed to see that this is carried out.
Chairman Del-laven called for public comments and the following person came forward to
speak:
Ms. Paula A. Nelson, adjoining property owner on both the north and east sides, requested that
the existing tree line between the south side of her property and the north side of this property be left intact.
Dr. Collins said that he would be willing to keep the tree line intact.
Based on the scale of the proposed operation and the history of commercial uses on this site,
the Commission was of the belief that this veterinary clinic could operate without significant impact on the
adjoining properties, provided that all of the conditions of the permit were met.
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Fisher,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit # 15-00 of Dr. Trevor Collins for a veterinary clinic at 6925 Valley Pike
with the following conditions:
1) All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
2) Approval of this conditional use shall require a minor site plan.
3) Sign for the proposed use shall not exceed 50 square feet in area.
4) No overnight boarding of animals for non-medical purposes, nor outdoor kennels or dog runs shall be
permitted.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE B2 (BUSINESS GENERAL) PERMITTED USE LIST
No Action Required
Ms. Amy M. Lohr, Planner II, stated that the staff has received a request from Greenway
Engineering to consider an amendment to the permitted use list of the B2 (Business General) Zoning District
to include all uses in Major Group 79—Amusement and Recreation Services. Ms. Lohr explained that,
specifically, they are interested in enabling activities such as swimming pools and court games to be located
outdoors.
Ms. Lohr stated that the Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS)
considered this request at their meeting of July 27, 2000 and the general consensus of the members was that
outdoor recreation was highly appropriate in the B2 District. She stated that in addition, the committee
believed that outdoor recreation facilities were desirable and beneficial to those persons already engaged in
commercial activities in the B2 District. Ms. Lohr continued, stating that the DRRS also examined other uses

Minutes of September 6, 2000 Page 552
WE
permitted by Major Group 79 and were of the opinion that while the inclusion of many of the uses within this
group may be appropriate within the B2 District, several of the uses would warrant, at a minimum, additional
performance standards to ensure their compatibility with the district and surrounding properties.
Ms. Lohr next read the DRRS's recommendation for defining the proposed use and allowing
it as a permitted use in the B2 District. She added that rather than permitting the entire use group, the DRRS
believed that defining and allowing the specific use would be more appropriate. She said that this avoids
opening up the district to many significant uses and provides certainty to the County in the type of uses that
would be permitted.
The Planning Commission believed the amendment as presented was appropriate and directed
the staff to proceed with public hearing arrangements for the first available meeting.
OTHER
Mr. Kris C. Tierney, Director, stated that there are no pending applications or items for
business for the Commission's September 20, 2000 meeting. Mr. Tierney said that he has a proposal, however,
from the Dogwood Development Group, in arranging a bus tour on the evening of September 20, to a housing
project in northern Virginia which is similar to their proposal for the Wheatlands site.
Upon motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Kriz, the Planning Commission
unanimously voted to cancel their meeting of September 20, 2000.
Chairman DeHaven said that if any of the Commissioners were interested in participating in
this tour to let the staff know so that the proper arrangements could be made.
ADJOURNMENT
No further business remained to be discussed and the meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m. by
unanimous vote.
Respectfully submitted,

Planning and Zoning: The Zoning Ordinance allows for the mining of shale in the RA
(Rural Areas) Zoning District with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The applicant
proposes to mine approximately 20 acres of his 100 -acre parcel in coordination with the
mining operation. The subject parcel is divided by Green Spring Road. The applicant's home
lies on the west side of the roadway. The proposed shale mining would occur on the east
side, directly across from the home.
Through a contract with the Virginia Department of Transportation, some excavation has
already occurred on-site. This excavation was conducted within 100 feet of Green Spring
Road. In accordance with County regulations, subsequent mining must occur at least 100 feet
from the roadway. There are three homes on Evening Lane which abut the parcel where the
mining would occur. These properties, however, are screened by evergreen vegetation. Given
the 100 foot side and rear yard setback for excavation and the natural buffer, these properties
should not be negatively impacted.
Private operations ofthis nature are monitored and licensed by the Division of Mineral Mining
(DMM), part of the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy. The applicant is
aware of the state permitting procedure and has been in contact with David Cress, the mining
inspector for our area. Before a permit can be issued, the applicant must provide DMM with
suitable operations, drainage, and reclamation plans.
The applicant plans to sell shale to individual homeowners, as well as small companies. As
a result, considerable heavy truck traffic would be unlikely. Typically, a pick-up or small
dump truck would be used to haul shale away from the site. Staff would recommend limiting
the operating hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
The Planning Commission has the authority to require appropriate landscaping or screening
within any required yard setback area in order to reasonably protect adjacent uses from noise,
sight, dust or other adverse impacts.
A site plan is required for all development in the EM (Extractive Manufacturing) Zoning
District and all mining operations in the RA (Rural Areas) District must meet all regulations
set forth in the regulations for the EM district. However, the applicant does not propose to
construct any new buildings in coordination with this CUP. The State permitting procedure
may be sufficient to ensure that the site is adequately developed and maintained. Staff would
seek the guidance of the planning commission with regard to the necessity of a site plan.

From: Amy M. Lohr, Planner II,
Subject: Public Hearing - Proposed Amendment for Commercial Sport and Recreation Clubs
in the B2 (General Business) District
Date: September 19, 2000
This amendment is to allow for specific recreation activities in the B2 (Business General) Zoning
District. The Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) and Planning
Commission have held discussions regarding this amendment and are comfortable with the proposed
language associated with this amendment.
The proposed text amendment, attached with this memorandum, pertains to allowing commercial
sport and recreation clubs in the B2 (Business General) Zoning District. The amendment is a result
of a request received by our department to permit Amusement and Recreation Services (SIC -Major
Group 79) in the B2 District. The DRRS felt that defining and allowing a specific use was most
appropriate, rather than permitting the entire use group; the Planning Commission concurred with this
rationale. Defining a specific use avoids opening up the B2 District to many significant uses that are
classified in Maj or Group 79. Additionally, it provides certainty to the County in the type of use that
would be permitted.
Staff would request that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors.

MEMORANDUM
To: Frederick County Planning Commission
From: Amy M. Lohr, Planner II -
Subject: Public Hearing: 2001- 2002 Secondary Road Improvement Plan
Date: September 20, 2000
The Transportation Committee reviewed the annual update of the Secondary Road Improvement Plan
at their September meeting and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Planning
Commission. As part of that approval, two new'projects were included in the unscheduled lists of
both the Major Road Improvements and Hardsurface Road Improvements portions of the Plan.
Under the major road improvements, the two new projects were requested by Renny Manuel,
Director of the Winchester Regional Airport Authority. Improvements to Victory Road (Rt. 728),
as well as the need to relocate a portion of Airport Road (Rt. 645), prompted this request. In
contrast to the 2000 - 2001 plan, the major road improvement projects have been further categorized
into a funded list and an unscheduled list. These two projects were placed at the bottom of the
unscheduled list (for more information, please refer to the attached letter from Renny Manuel). With
regard to new hardsurface road improvement projects, Ebenezer Church Road (Rt. 705) and Hollow
Road (Rt. 707) qualified for inclusion in this year's plan. These roadways are ranked number 2 and
4, respectively, on the unscheduled list.
The Committee made two other recommendations with regard to the Secondary Road Improvement
Plan. First, the Committee suggested that the County consider the use of Revenue Sharing Funds
whenever possible. Second, the Committee suggested that the Board of Supervisors consider
implementing an objective rating system for unscheduled Major Road Improvement projects. This
recommendation was made because of the large number of projects on the list and the inability to
objectively determine where a new project should be placed on the list. Currently, projects are
accepted in the order that they are received by the County.

depicting the location of new projects for major road improvements and hardsurface requests, and
support information from the Winchester Regional Airport. Upon review of the plan update, staff
would request that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.

HARDSURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
2001%2002
Hardsurface road improvement projects provide impervious resurfacing and reconstruction of non-
hardsurfaced secondary roads. Hardsurface improvement projects are prioritized by an objective rating system
which considers average daily traffic volumes; occupied structures; physical road conditions including
geometrics, drainage, and accident reports; school bus routing; and the time that project requests have been on
the Secondary Road Improvement Plan.

Memorandum
To: Evan Wyatt, Deputy Director— Frederick County Planning and Development
From: Renny Manuel, Director, Winchester Regional Airport Authority
Date: 7/26/00
Re: Secondary Road Plan — SR 645 & SR 728
I would like to request the County of Frederick consider placing Airport Road (Rt. 645) from Aviation Drive (Rt. 900)
to Victory Road (Rt. 728); as well as Victory Road fro Airport Road to Millwood Pike (US Rt. 50/17) in the Secondary
'load Plan.
Due to the continuing expansion of the Winchester Regional Airport and the ongoing industrial development around
the Airport, truck traffic has increased dramatically. In addition, there has been an increase in vehicular traffic
utilizing this section in order to avoid the Interstate 81 and Route 50 interchange.
Attached is a brief summary describing the need for this road to be added to the Secondary Road Plan. Also
included is the Runway 32 Protection Zone Plan and Profile detailing the section of road that penetrates into the
Part 77 Surfaces.
Should you require additional information or have questions, please contact my office.
Thank you for your continued assistance and support.

The Winchester Regional Airport Authority is seeking ways to improve road and aviation
modes of transportation by combining the efforts and plans of all responsible agencies to
include Local, State and Federal agencies. This would allow the efficient management of the
taxpayers' funds for which we are fiscally responsible.
Two factors weigh heavily on the need to improve the eastern portion of Airport Road from
Kohl's Distribution Center to the Victory Road intersection.
Factor one involves vehicle and truck traffic on Airport Road from Routes 522 and 50, which
has steadily increased over the last twelve months. This is the result of continuing business
and industrial development around the Airport and the use of Airport Road as a detour for
traffic avoiding the Route 5011nterstate 81 intersection. Airport Road from Kohl's distribution
center running east to Victory Road is a narrow rural road with no designated turning lanes for
the businesses that are continuing to build in that area. Ruts visible at the intersection of
Airport Road and Victory Road, suggest a need for improvement to accommodate the
increasing truck traffic. Eventually Airport Road will need improvements and repairs to the
existing road and intersection.
The second factor involves the Airport. In 1993, the Airport Authority adopted a twenty-year
Master Plan developed to meet the FAA's, safety and design standards to provide this region
a safe and efficient air transportation facility. To date, the Federal Aviation Administration, the
Virginia Department of Aviation, and the five surrounding jurisdictions have invested more
than $14 million into this facility to make these vital improvements. The last major project
needed to meet these requirements is to move a section of Airport Road from the AES
Company to the Victory Road intersection.
Passing under the Runway Protection Zone, surveys have identified part of SR645 as an
obstruction to the approach surface for Runway 32 based on the FAA standard 15 -foot
clearance for a road. The FAA requires this zone to ensure a safe and clear approach
surface for landing aircraft. Enclosed is a layout of the Airport with detail of this area to help
you have a better understanding of the need to relocate this section of road.
The Airport Authority has completed the purchase of more than $1.2 million dollars of land to
move forward with the road relocation effort. To provide VDOT with a 100 -foot easement for
this project, the Authority, FAA, VDOA and local jurisdictions, used funds to acquire the
additional land needed. Because only a portion of the road is considered an obstruction into
the Part 77 surfaces, only a fraction of the estimated cost would be eligible for funding
through the FAA and VDOA.
Available funding sources accessible by the Airport are limited therefore the Authority is
seeking financial assistance from other sources to share in the funding of this major
transportation project. Completion of this project enhances the Airport, improves intra -modal
transportation needs and meets the requirements established by the FAA for a safe and
efficient air transportation facility that is part of the National Airport System.

RE: Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) Expansion Request from Investment Land Trust
DATE: September 21, 2000
Included within this agenda item is information that has been prepared by Triad Engineering,
agent for Investment Land Trust. Investment Land Trust has requested to expand the Sewer and
Water Service Area (SWSA) to incorporate eight acres of a 50.786 -acre parcel that is located in
the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Fairfax Pike (Route 277) and White Oak Road (Route
636). This parcel is identified as Tax Map 86-A-156 and is zoned RA, Rural Areas District.
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS) considered this request during the
November 8, 1999 meeting. During that meeting, members of the CPPS inquired about the
proposed improvements to Fairfax Pike, the impacts to the existing sewer facilities within the
area, and the potential of having the entire acreage interpreted as being within the SWSA if the
eight acres was incorporated. The CPPS directed the applicant to provide additional information
regarding these inquiries, and expressed a preference to have the desired eight acres subdivided
from the 50.786 -acre parcel prior to final action.
The applicant obtained additional information from the Virginia Department of Transportation
(VDOT) and the Frederick County Sanitation Authority (FCSA), and presented the request to the
CPPS during their meeting of September 11, 2000. The applicant advised the CPPS that the
desired 8 -acre portion of this parcel could not be legally subdivided because an approved health
system could not be obtained on the property. The applicant presented a plan for the proposed
improvements to this intersection that was obtained from VDOT, and advised the committee that
the FCSA has a sewer force main with a three-inch line that comes from the Fulton property and
adjoins this parcel. The applicant felt that this facility could serve the 8 -acres desired to be
incorporated into the SWSA.
The CPPS felt that it was inappropriate to incorporate the 8 -acre portion of the 50.786 -acre parcel
at this time. The CPPS felt that it would be prudent to consider this area comprehensively and
not deal with piecemeal requests. The CPPS recommended denial of this request and
recommended that the Board of Supervisors consider the development of a land use plan for the
Fairfax Pike area as a high priority.

RE: Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) boundary adjustment
Dear Evan,
Since our previous meeting with the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee
(CPPS) we have prepared a plat showing the eight (8) acre area requested to be added to the
Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA), discussed the plat with the Frederick County Sanitation
Authority (FCSA) and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
We are now prepared to move forward with our request and ask that the CPPS consider
an adjustment of the SWSA to include the eight acre area shown on the attached plat. We clearly
understand that the plat will have to be recorded within a specific time frame after approval of the
SWSA boundary adjustment.
Both FCSA and VDOT would like time to review the final survey plat prior to your
approval. Mr. Jones of FCSA has indicated that his letter of September 21, 1999 is still valid.
Mr. Melnikoff of VDOT has indicated that VDOT will require additional right-of-way dedicated
along Route 636 (White Oak Road) and possibly some additional right-of-way on Route 277
( Fairfax Pike).
Should the CPPS approve our request we will be happy to condition our request to include
review of a final plat by VDOT and FCSA and that the plat be recorded within 90 to 120 days
after final approval of our request by the Frederick County Board of Supervisors.
Sincerely,

I have reviewed your request for water and sewer services to the referenced tract. The Authority has
water and sewer services available to this property. There is a 12 -inch water line along Route 277
and a 3 -inch force main along Route 636. This force main has limited capacity. The capacity
` required by the planned development may require the developer to enlarge the force main
The Authority cannot agree to provide services to this tract until the Frederick County Board of
Supervisors places it within the Water and Sewer Service Area or grants penuission for the
Authority to provide service.
If you have any questions, please call me.

RE: Request from Lynwood Ritter for Extension of Public Water and Sewer Service
Outside of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA)
DATE: September 21, 2000
Included within this agenda item is information that has been prepared by Greenway Engineering,
agent for Linwood Ritter. Mr. Ritter has requested to extend public water and sewer service
outside of the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) to serve parcel 86-A-208; zoned MH -1,
Mobile Home Community District; containing 5.64 acres; located at the intersection of Hudson
Hollow Road (Route 636) and Spotswood Court.
The map prepared by the applicant's agent proposes to extend a sewer force main along the west
side of Hudson Hollow Road which will tie into an existing sewer force main near Fairfax Pike,
and to extend a water line along the east side of Hudson Hollow Road which will tie into an
existing 12 -inch water line along the south side of Fairfax Pike. The size of the proposed sewer
force main and the proposed water line has not been indicated by the applicant's agent. The
request would require extension of public water and sewer service approximately 2000 feet outside
of the SWSA boundary limits.
Similar requests to serve this parcel have been considered by the county. On April 26,1995, the
Board of Supervisors denied a request to extend sewer to this parcel, citing that it would establish
a precedent. On July 13, 1998, the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee (CPPS)
considered a request to extend water service to this parcel. The CPPS felt that the extension of
water service only would be appropriate provided that the size of the water line was limited to two
inches and was designed specifically to serve the existing uses only on the 5.64 -acre parcel. This
request was later denied by the Parks and Recreation Commission, which determined that it would
be inappropriate to establish an easement within the Sherando Regional Park for the purpose of
allowing a private property owner to tie into the water line within the park.
The CPPS considered this request during their meeting of September 11, 2000. The CPPS felt that
it was inappropriate to allow for the extension of public water and sewer service to this parcel.
The CPPS felt that it would be prudent to consider this area comprehensively and not deal with
piecemeal requests. The CPPS recommended denial of this request and recommended that the
Board of Supervisors consider the development of a land use plan for the Fairfax Pike area as a
high priority. 107 North Kent Street a Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000

RE: Sewer and Water Service Area
Dear Mr. Wyatt:
Greenway Engineering is representing Mr. Lynwood Ritter in an effort to have the sewer and water service area
changed to serve his property. Said parcel, tax map no. 86-((A))-209, has an area of 32.46 acres, and fronts on both
Spotswood Court and Perry Road (Route 636). The site, which houses a mobile home park, currently has a sewage
lagoon. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality is requiring Mr. Ritter to close the lagoon, necessitating a
need for another source of sewage treatment. There are two potential treatment options available. A package sewage
treatment plant could be installed on the site, or, as we recommend, this parcel could be served by the Frederick County
Sanitation Authority through modification of the SWSA. The site is currently served by a well for water usage.
I request that this matter be put on the agenda of the Frederick County Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee
at the earliest possible date. Greenway Engineering will canvass other landowners if they would like to be included in
this request. Supporting documents for this change will be provided several weeks before the committee meeting.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Sincerely,
Greenway Erigineering

The Sanitation Authority cannot agree to extending water and sewer lines outside the sewer -water
service area without approval of Frederick County. Providing service to the referenced location has been
previously considered and denied by the County. I recommend sending your request to the Frederick
County Planning Department for the County's consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Planning Commission
FROM: Evan A. Wyatt, Deputy Director
RE: Urban Development Area (UDA) Expansion Request from Dorothy Carbaugh
DATE: September 21, 2000
Included within this agenda item is information that has been prepared by Gilbert W. Clifford &
Associates, Inc., agent for the Carbaugh Property and Dave Holliday Construction. The
applicants have requested to expand the Urban Development Area (UDA) to incorporate
approximately 82 acres of a 105 -acre parcel that is identified as parcel 85-A-138; zoned RA, Rural
Areas District; and located on the east side of Town Run Lane (Route 1012), approximately 1/2
mile south of the intersection with Fairfax Pike (Route 277).
The map prepared by the applicant's agent delineates the subject parcel, the location of the UDA
as it traverses the parcel, and a general design layout of the parcel if the entire acreage would be
incorporated into the UDA. The applicant's agent has provided an aerial photograph which
identifies the 105 -acre parcel looking east from the Town of Stephens City and crossing Interstate
81. Additional information pertaining to the 105 -acre parcel and adjoining area has been provided
in a letter from C.E. Maddox, Jr., P.E., Vice President, to Evan Wyatt, dated August 31, 2000.
The CPPS considered this request during their meeting of September 11, 2000. The CPPS
believed that if land was not made available for RP District development that the only alternative
would be for the development of five -acre lots outside of the UDA. The CPPS expressed concern
that the increased development of land outside of the UDA will exacerbate residential sprawl and
increase the cost of providing services to county residents. The CPPS recommended approval of
this request and recommended that the Board of Supervisors consider initiating a study to
determine appropriate areas for the expansion of the UDA so this issue could be dealt with
comprehensively instead of on a case-by-case basis.

Attached is a concept plan for a single family "RP" development on the above tract; located immediately south
of Stephens Run and east of 181 near Stephens City, Virginia.
This tract is partially within the designated urban development area (UDA) as defined in the current Frederick
County Comprehensive Policy Plan. It has water and sewer service on the adjacent parcel to the north Those
lands capable of supporting residential development to the north have been developed. The geology is
Martinsburg Shale which is not viable for continued agriculture. The property is in Estate and under contract
by Dave Holliday subject to rezoning.
Mr. Holliday is a proven quality developer in Frederick County. Mr. Holliday's projects include Lakeside
Estates, Fredericktown III, Carriebrooke, Briarwood and Mem mans Estates. Currently lands zoned RP are not
available to Mr. Holliday in order for his various groups to continue development in Frederick County's
Idential market.
The request of this application is that a review of the attached data and description by your Comprehensive
Plan Subcommittee and Planning Commission would allow agreement that an application for rezoning to RP is
both timely and reflective of the highest and best use of the subject tract. The offsite transportation network
created by this project will improve the County's transportation network, especially at the Stephens City
Interchange and focus attention of Transportation Planning Officials to the concept of a new interchange, an
idea which has been requested for further study by the Town, commercial owners and transportation officials
alike.
We are pleased to submit this request and look forward to our discussions. PIease advise if you need anything
additional.
Sincerely yours,
