COMMITTEE REPORTS
Battlefield Task Force
Mr. Watkins reported that the Battlefield Task Force is preparing for the public
forums to be held in October and November.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS:
Conditional Use Permit #006-94 of C. J. Funk for a Cottage Occupation for a fabrication
shop to be located on Green Spring Road (Rt. 671) and is identified with PIN 22-A-5013
in the Gainesboro District.
ACTION - RECOMMENDED APPROVAL
Mr. Miller gave the background information and review agency comments. He
stated that Mr. Funk fabricates counter tops at this location and then transports them to the
location where they are installed. He said that the application gives no indication that there will
be employees located or working at this location, however, should the applicant desire to have
employees, he will need to provide bathroom facilities for those employees.
Mr. Cecil James Funk, the applicant and owner of the property, came forward to
answer questions from the Commission.
There were no citizen comments.
The Commission felt there would not be any significant negative impact on the
neighborhood with this use.
Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby recommend
approval of Conditional Use Permit #006-94 of C. J. Funk for a Cottage Occupation for a
fabrication shop with the following conditions:
1. All the fabrication work shall take place entirely within the enclosed building.
2. There shall be no outside storage of materials or fabricated products.
3. All review agency comments shall be complied with at all times.
3
4. If employees are to be working on site, approved bathroom facilities shall he provided
for their use.
(Mr. Shickle abstained from voting on this conditional use permit.)
Conditional Use Permit #007-94 of Anita P. Farmer for a commercial outdoor
recreational use for a golf course. This property is located on Parkins Mill Road (Route
644) and is identified as PIN #76-A-138 in the Shawnee District.
ACTION - RECOMMENDED APPROVAL
Mr. Miller said that VDOT's comments stated that the applicant should be aware
that this property could be affected by the proposed Route 37 East Corridor. He said that
"Option C" as envisioned to this point, would put the proposed road slightly to the northwest of
the proposed golf course.
Mr. Miller said that the Health Department has stated in their comments that the
site had not been evaluated, but the soils in this area are generally severe and the possibility of
a perk site is very remote. Mr. Miller said the Health Department suggested public sewer and
water to serve the proposed facility. He said that this property is outside of the Comprehensive
Plan's sewer and water service area, so it cannot be serviced by public sewer and water at this
time. He said that the applicant is in the process of acquiring a permit for an aerobic system to
serve the facility.
Mr. Miller presented a letter of support that he received from Mr. Edwin E.
White, adjoining property owner, addressed to the Planning Commission. Mr. Miller read the
letter to the Commission.
Upon motion made by Mr. Thomas and seconded by Mr. Marker, the letter was
made a part of the official record by unanimous vote. (Letter appears at end of minutes.)
Mr. Charles W. Maddox, Jr., with G. W. Clifford & Associates, the design
engineers, said that the proposal is for a 150 -acre golf course, located off of North Parkins Mill
Road, Route 644. Mr. Maddox said that the area is not conducive to perking and they are
proposing an aerobic wastewater treatment facility. He said that Parkins Mill Road has been
shown in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan as a link between the Route 50 and Route 522
corridors and will receive increasing amounts of improvement. He added that the area consists
of shale and is well -drained.
There were no other public comments.
Both the Commission and the staff agreed that an approved system, capable of
4
handling this facility, would be needed before site plan approval. Otherwise, the Commission
felt this was an excellent use for this property.
Mr. Wilson said that he would abstain from voting on this conditional use permit
due to a possible conflict of interest.
Upon motion by Mr. Morris and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby approve
Conditional Use Permit #007-94 of Anita P. Farmer for a commercial outdoor recreational use
for a golf course with the following conditions:
1. This conditional use shall conform with all applicable regulations of the Rural Area (RA)
Zoning District where it is located.
2. All review agency requirements and comments must be addressed and completed prior
to any public use of the facility.
3. A detailed site plan that meets all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance must be
submitted and approved.
4. The site plan must adequately address stormwater management for the entire site.
(Mr. Wilson abstained from voting.)
Conditional Use Permit #008-94 of Donald E. Cook for a garage for automobile repair
without body repair. This property is located at 2712 Martinsburg Pike and is identified
as PIN 44-A-62 in the Stonewall District.
ACTION - RECOMMEND APPROVAL
Mr. Miller stated that the applicant's proposed use is to be conducted in an
existing three -bay garage behind the applicant's home. Mr. Miller said that there are other
homes on either side of this property so the applicant must be sensitive to the residential
character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Donald E. Cook, the owner and applicant, was present to answer questions
from the Commission.
Chairman Golladay called for public comment and the following person came
forward to speak in favor of the request:
5
Mr. Clinton Ritter spoke positively about Mr. Cook's reputation and ability as a
fine mechanic. Mr. Ritter felt that many people in the eastern part of the county used him for
their automobile service. He added that Mr. Cook's garage is well -kept and neat in appearance.
Because of the high visibility of this parcel from the church, adjoining residences,
and the road, Commissioners felt it would be in the best interest of everyone to limit the number
of vehicles waiting to be worked on. Mr. Cook said this would not present a problem to him.
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 #008-94 of Donald E. Cook for a garage for
automobile repair without body repair with the following conditions:
1. All work will take place inside the garage intended for this use.
2. No outside storage of parts or supplies shall be allowed.
3. No inoperative vehicles shall be openly displayed on the property at any time.
4. Hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
5. All review agency comments must be complied with at all times.
6. No more than six vehicles awaiting repair shall be allowed on the property at any time.
Site Plan #016-94 of Taco Bell Restaurant for a proposed restaurant to be located at the
corner of Welltown Road (Route 66 1) and Martinsburg Pike (US Rt. 11). This property
is identified as PIN 43-2-A in the Gainesboro District.
ACTION - APPROVED WITH CONTINGENCY
Mr. Miller said that this area experiences a high average daily traffic count due
to existing land uses and the proximity to industrial parks. He said that the adjoining property
owner is in the process of developing plans for a restaurant, service station, and car wash, and
the staff believes it is important to provide a connection between these properties. He said that
the connection will provide vehicle access without utilizing the overloaded intersection area.
Mr. Miller continued, stating that VDOT has suggested that an access road be
developed in front of the Taco Bell and adjoining property. He said that VDOT will allow this
access road to be developed on their right-of-way because they believe that it will function more
efficiently at this location. Mr. Miller said that the applicant, however, is proposing an intra -
parcel connector in the rear of the site. He said that this is located in the area that is proposed
for patron parking and calls for the installation of a speed bump.
Mr. Guy C. Tudor, engineer with Ingram -Tudor & Company, was present to
represent the owner, Burger Busters. Mr. Tudor said that they did not prefer to use the
connection suggested by VDOT, but they were not opposed to the adjoining property owner
constructing it. He felt they were severely limited in size to get the required parking and
landscaping, as well as the drive-through and vehicular traffic flow. Mr. Tudor said that they
have approached the owners of the adjoining bank site and the people they purchased this
property from in an attempt to procure additional land, but they were not successful.
Commissioners were very much concerned about locating the intra -parcel
connector at the rear of the site where there were designated parking spaces and where it might
interfere with the drive-through area. There was also concern about the applicant's proposal to
place the loading area in the designated handicapped parking spaces area. The Commission
understood that this was an extremely limited site, however, they felt they needed to consider
the overall impact of this site and the adjacent sites as they relate to the Route 11/Route 661
intersection area. They felt they could not support the site plan as presented and felt that the
applicants of both this site and the Holtzman Oil Company site needed to coordinate their design
efforts.
Mr. Charles W. Maddox, Jr., with G. W. Clifford & Associates, Inc., was
representing Holtzman Oil Company, the purchaser of the adjacent site which includes a
convenience center, gas station, Burger King restaurant, and a telecommunications office
building. Mr. Maddox presented a draft site plan for the Holtzman project and described two
options that he felt might be a way that the two sites could function well together for traffic
purposes. One of the options provided a free-flowing roadway adjacent to the existing VDOT
right-of-way.
The Planning Commission realized that the applicant was under time constraints
and they were willing to allow the staff to administratively approve the site plan instead of
bringing the plan back to the Commission, however, they felt that work needed to be done so
there was coordination of traffic flow between the various sites.
Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby authorize the
Planning Staff to administratively approve the site plan for Taco Bell restaurant as long as it has
front and rear traffic flow in accordance with VDOT's recommendations.
The vote on this site plan was:
YES (TO APPROVES DeHaven, Thomas, Morris, Wilson, Golladay, Marker, Copenhaver,
Light, Stone
NO: Shickle
Master Development Plan #006-94 of Silver Development Companies for proposed
townhouses and garden apartments. This property is located off of Airport Road (Route
645) on the north side, just east of Front Royal Pike (Route 522), in the Shawnee
District.
ACTION - RECOMMEND APPROVAL
Mr. Tierney said that the applicant currently has an approved MDP that permits
the construction of 117 townhouse units on 22 acres resulting in an overall gross density of 5.3
units per acre. He said that the proposed revision to this MDP calls for the construction of
townhouse and garden apartment units for a total of 156 dwelling units, creating an overall gross
density of 7.09 dwelling units per acre. Mr. Tierney said that the allowable gross density for
residential developments which contain more than 10 acres and less than 100 acres is 5.5
dwelling units per acre.
Mr. Tierney said that the applicants were unaware of the density amendment to
the RP District that took place in May of 1994 and proceeded with their application and plans
preparation under the assumption that the old density requirements were still in effect. He said
that the applicant requested that their application be considered to be vested, and as a result, the
staff sought an opinion from the Commonwealth Attorney. Mr. Tierney said that the
Commonwealth Attorney's opinion stated that the increased density was not a vested right under
the previous zoning ordinance and was clearly not permitted under the recent amendment.
Upon motion made by Mr. DeHaven and seconded by Mr. Thomas, the
Commission unanimously agreed to make Mr. Lawrence R. Ambrogi's letter a part of the official
record. (letter follows at end of minutes).
The parties involved with the application, Mr. Fred Price of PHR&A, the design
company; Mr. Richard Trembly of Silver Development Co., the owners; and Mr. Frank
McDermott of Hunton & Williams, attorneys, gave a chronology of events that they felt showed
they were acting in good faith. They pointed out some of the economic decisions that were
made, such as a sales contract for the 72 apartment units, the investment made on infrastructure,
and the applications made for Federal tax credits, that were based on the ordinance before it was
revised. They requested that the Commission recommend approval of the MDP based on the
equity, fairness, and consideration of all of the circumstances surrounding the application.
N
The Planning Commission noted that the density was changed because of problems
with transportation, infrastructure, and gross density of developments and the amendment was
developed after a very well thought out, long-term process. It was also noted that area builders,
engineering firms, and the Top of Virginia builders organization participated and the amendment
was advertised and well publicized by the local news media. The Planning Commission felt it
would be a setback to compromise on this issue.
There were no citizen comments.
The applicants felt that given a choice on a recommendation by the Planning
Commission, they would first prefer that it be approved. If not approved, their second choice
would be that it be approved under current density requirements, and their third choice would
be that it be denied. The applicants preferred that it not be tabled due to time constraints on
contract purchasing of housing units and housing grants applied for.
Upon motion by Mr. Marker and second by Mr. Stone,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously
recommended approval of the revised master development plan provided that the overall gross
density is reduced to within current limits of the ordinance in addition to addressing all review
agency comments and all comments and concerns of the Planning Commission and the Board of
Supervisors.
(Mr. Wilson was absent for this vote.)
SECONDARY ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Mr. Tierney said that the Frederick County Transportation Committee held a
public hearing on September 6, 1994 to consider the Secondary Road Improvement Plan. He
said that two petitions were filed by citizens from Back Creek Road (Rt. 704) and Ridings Mill
Road (Rt. 709), the Town of Stephens City requested that the improvement within the town be
moved up in priority, and two citizens were present with various requests on Mines Mill Lane
(Rt. 633) and Adams Road (Rt. 689).
Mr. Tierney said that this is the same plan as last year with completed projects
deleted and 14 projects being added to the bottom of the list. He said that ten of the pro.jects
added were incidental construction items. Mr. Tierney said that the Transportation Committee
recommended approval of the plan.
There were no public comments.
Upon motion made by Mr. Light and seconded by Mr. Thomas,
G
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously
recommend approval of the 1995-1996 Secondary Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County
INFORMAL DISCUSSION CONCERNING THE POSSIBILITY OF REZONING A
PARCEL OF LAND ALONG BLOOMERY PIKE (RT. 127) TO PERMIT USED CAR
SALES RAYMOND DUNLAP
Mr. Miller said that Mr. Clinton R. Ritter has requested an informal discussion
with the Planning Commission regarding the possibility of rezoning a parcel of land along
Bloomery Pike (Rt. 127) to permit used car sales.
Mr. Clinton R. Ritter said that he represents Mr. Raymond Dunlap, the owner of
a parcel of land northwest of Route 127. He said that Mr. Dunlap has owned this property for
a number of years and the property has been improved by a residence and an old store, which
is no longer operated as a country store. He said that Mr. Dunlap desires to re -open the store
as a used car lot. Mr. Ritter said that the property is currently zoned RA and Mr. Dunlap would
like to rezone the property to B2.
The Commissioners were not in favor of rezoning this property because of the
precedent setting situation it would create by rezoning RA land in the county to B2. The
Commissioners also noted that the Comprehensive Plan has designated this area as rural. They
felt it would be very difficult to deny the next request, if this one was approved.
INFORMAL DISCUSSION TO DIVIDE A 5.89 ACRE TRACT (ROBERT SHADLEY)
Mr. Miller said that Mr. Clinton R. Ritter has requested an informal discussion
with the Planning Commission to discuss the feasibility of allowing Mr. Robert Shadley to
further divide a 5.89 acre tract of land that already has a residence located on the property. He
said that Mr. Shadley is proposing to divide a .89 acre tract off the 5.89 acres to accommodate
the trailer that is located there. Mr. Miller said that this would violate the ordinance since the
minimum lot size allowable in RA Zoning is two acres. Mr. Miller added that the lot does not
qualify for a two -acre family division because there must be a five -acre residual parcel remaining
after the division.
Mr. Clinton R. Ritter said that Mr. Shadley is requesting that he be permitted to
subdivide the property in order to build a retirement home for his wife who is extremely ill. He
said that this will enable Mrs. Shadley to spend her final days in the care of her family as
opposed to being placed in a nursing home or some other facility. Mr. Shadley's daughter is
currently living in the mobile home that is located on the parcel and is taking care of her mother.
10
In light of the circumstances involved, the Commission agreed to allow the mobile
home to remain on the property for a designated time period so that Mrs. Shadley could recieve
family care. They were not willing to allow the subdivision because of the precedent it would
set.
INFORMAL DISCUSSION REGARDING THE REZONING OF A .92 ACRES TRACT
OF RA ZONED LAND TO B2 TO PERMIT OTHER USES (MR. JAMES LAMP)
Mr. Miller said that Mr. Clinton R. Ritter has requested time on the Commission's
agenda to discuss the feasibility of rezoning a .92 acre tract of RA zoned land owned by Mr.
James H. Lamp. He said that this is the current location of the "House of Gifts" and the use is
a store and gift shop, which is assumed to be a legal nonconforming use.
Mr. Clinton R. Ritter said that Mr. Lamp would like to rezone the property from
RA to B2 to allow the addition of gas pumps and an addition to the building.
The Commissioners were concerned that if this rezoning was approved, it would
set a precedent for other rezonings in an area that was not designated for business in the
Comprehensive Plan.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I would like to express my support for the purposed golf course
adjoining Parkins Mill Road, Frederick County, Virginia. I own 74 acres
a few hundred yards west of the site.
As you may recall, I requested permission oto run a small diameter,
high pressure line along the Opequon from my property to the Parkins Mill
Treatment Plant. This was denied. Subsequent to this, I have subdivided
a parcel for a large home and have Health Departments approval for a sand
filtration system. I relate this only as back ground information so as
to indicate my interest in keeping this area a low density, environment
friendly community of large homes on 5 acre or larger lots.
The golf course proposal that yu have for
enhance this concept; low density, environment friendly ldevelopme deration will
11 only
Additionally, this proposal will add to the tax base for the county
since nearly all of this property is presently in land use. Traffic should
be of little concern since it will stagger throughout the day as tee time
and finishing times sequence.
plan. Thank you for your consideration of my input to this fine development

Having received the information you provided to my

requested in the most recent Master Development Plan submitted
for the above -captioned parcel would not be a vested right
under the previous Frederick County Zoning Ordinance and is
clearly not permitted under the recent amendment to that
Ordinance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to

of this property. This office is currently reviewing site
plans for Phase II of the Preston Place Apartment Project.
Final review comments may require subdivision plat changes,
i.e. additional easements, etc. Any entrances into the
parcels will have to be constructed to VDOT minimum design
standards to allow for safe egress and ingress.
SANITATION AUTHORITY: No comment.
INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT: No comments required at this time,
shall comment on building site plan.
WINCHESTER REGIONAL AIRPORT: See attached comments dated
October 31, 1994.
PLANNING AND ZONING: This request is in accordance with the
approved master plan and meets the requirements of the
subdivision and zoning ordinances. The master plan for this
property stipulates that any deeds conveying land in this area
must indicate the proximity to the airport and the possible
ensuing noise associated with the airport.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR NOVEMBER 16, 1994 PC MTG: Approval
as presented.
Please consider the following comments when reviewing this
Request for Master Development Plan:
The Developer should be familiar with and be required to
comply with the provisions of the Frederick County Airport Zoning
District (AP -1) and Airport Support Area (ASA) described in the
Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan. The developer should
also be familiar with the provisions and requirements of the
following codes:
Title 15.1 Code of Virginia, Section 489 (Purpose of zoning
Ordinances) and Section 491.02 (Airport Safety Zoning).
Title 5.1-25.1 Code of Virginia (Permits Required for Erection of
Certain structures.)
As Winchester Regional Airport expands services and
operations, noise associated with such expansion is very likely
to increase. The Airport Support Area established by the
Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan is designed to
discourage residential development in the vicinity of the airport
to preclude citizen concerns for noise created by aircraft
operating on, to and from Winchester Regional Airport.
If the developer is planning residential development
adjacent to the ASA or under a flight path used regularly by
aircraft outside of the ASA as they arrive or depart the Airport,
he should be either required or encouraged to insulate all
habitable structures for noise and be required to specifically
address, in the property Covenants and Easements, existing
airport related noise and the probability of increased noise as
airport operations expand.

RE: Informal Discussion Regarding a Potential Rezoning
DATE: October 31, 1994
Attached is a letter from Sharon Stine requesting time on the Commission's agenda to
discuss the potential for rezoning a 2.5 acre parcel located on the west side of Route 522
North, from RA to B-2 (Business General). The property is located between Omps Garage
and Reading Landscape and has frontage on both Route 522 and Route 709 (Bryarly Road).
A contract purchaser is interested in establishing a hardware store with equipment rental
on the site. This would require Business General Zoning.
The current Comprehensive Plan identifies Albin as a potential Rural Community Center
although, it differentiates Albin from other areas which have been identified as potential
Community Centers. The inclusion of Albin in the plan is a result of the recent recognition
that Albin shares many of the same characteristics with other areas identified as Community
Centers.
It is the staffs opinion that Albin should be recognized as an official Community Center.
With this in mind, staff feels that there is potential for additional business uses in this area.
The plan lists "Consider proposals for commercial development in rural community centers on
an individual basis" as a strategy for community centers. Because detailed policies for
Community Centers have not yet been developed, it is difficult to evaluate specific proposals
other than on their individual merits.
A hardware store with equipment rental could be considered a use that would serve
residents of Albin and the surrounding rural area. Issues such as traffic and appearance
would need to be addressed.
Please call me if there are any questions concerning this item.

Mr. Tierney,
We are the representing broker of the property at 354 Bryarly
Road, deed book 647 page 093, which is under contract to Wayne
Ridgeway. On their behalf we are seeking to have the above
mentioned property rezoned to allow the use of a retail store, such
as hardware store and possibly small machine rental such as post
hole diggers, carpet cleaners, rotor tillers etc.
It is the intention to keep the residential area conforming to
the area and the business to face the business area of the new 522.
There is no intention for use or future use of a auto sales
either new os used.
Could you please put our request on the calendar of the next
meeting.

SUBJECT: Informal Discussion, Mr. Linwood Ritter
DATE:
November 1, 1994
Staff received the attached letter from Mr. Linwood Ritter concerning the possibility of
connecting the Pioneer Trailer Park to public sewer. I had talked to him previously
about this and suggested that an informal discussion with the Commission would
probably be appropriate. He is now requesting this and I informed him by letter
(attached) that he was scheduled for the November 16, 1994 meeting where he would be
allowed to present his case.

Dear Mr. Ritter:
This is in response to your letter of October 26, 1994 concerning the possibility of a
public sewer connection for Pioneer Trailer Park.
I have reserved a position for you on the Planning Commission Agenda for the
November 16, 1994 meeting. The meeting will be in the old Frederick County

Commission concerning what you want to do and hopefully, get a feel from them as to
whether they will be interested in a formal request or not. I am making the time
available, it will be up to you to present your case to the Commission.
I will be available to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,

RE: Informal Discussion Regarding Proposed Amendments To Article IV,
Supplementary Use Regulations, Section 165-30, Signs.
DATE: November 4, 1994
The Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) has discussed proposed draft
amendments regarding the existing sign regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. These amendments
were created as a result of work done by the Chamber of Commerce Corridor Appearance Task
Force (CATF). The CATF created a report that provides recommendations to assist with the
long term appearance of roadway corridors leading into the community.
Staff met with the CATF in August to discuss the proposed amendments. The CATF was not
opposed to these amendments; however, they stated that the focus of their report was limited to
the primary roadway corridors leading into the City of Winchester and not the county as a whole
(please refer to letter of response from Bill Shendow dated August 30, 1994).
Staff believes that the proposed amendments need to reflect the community as a whole to ensure
consistency in our commercial and industrial areas, to avoid the creation of overlay districts
simply for sign regulations, and to mitigate problems with future corridors. In other words, if
regulations are consistent (as they currently are written), Frederick County will not have to
repeat this exercise when less significant or future commercial and industrial corridors are
developed throughout the county.
The DRRS directed staff to provide the proposed amendments for Planning Commission review
and discussion. Staff asks that the Planning Commission consider this item and provide direction
on how to proceed.

RE: Informal Discussion Regarding Portable Signs
DATE: November 4, 1994
The Development Review and Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) reviewed the sign
recommendations specified in the final report of the Corridor Appearance Task Force (CATF).
The DRRS agreed with most of these recommendations, but expressed concern regarding the
lack of information pertaining to portable signs. The DRRS directed staff to meet with the
CATF and the Chamber of Commerce to determine their position regarding this issue.
Staff met with these groups and determined that they were not opposed to the allowance of
portable signs; however, they believed that these signs should be permitted and limited to a
specific time period. This would allow for special sales and promotions to be advertised but
would allow an enforcement method if these signs became permanent in nature. Both groups
also suggested that the DRRS consider special exceptions for unique situations.
The DRRS directed staff to review these concepts with the Planning Commission. The DRRS
felt that this would allow staff to determine what guidelines should be established regarding this
issue. Staff asks that the Planning Commission consider the pros and cons associated with
portable signs and provide comments or concerns regarding this issue.
