MEMORANDUM
TO: Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee
FROM: Eric R. Lawrence, Planner I'v
SUBJECT: Northeastern Frederick County Study
DATE: June 5, 1996
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee will be meeting Monday, June 10, 1996,
at 7:30 P.M. in the Conference Room of the Old Frederick County Court House. The topic
of discussion will be the Northeastern Frederick County Study, with emphasis on the initial
study phase and a potential date for a public meeting.
As many committee members are aware, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors
held a joint work session on May 22, 1996 to discuss this study area and their most prevalent
concerns. The general consensus was that a shortage in industrial sites requires immediate
attention. What resulted was a desire to initially concentrate on a portion of Route I 1 connecting
Interstate 81/Route 37 and Clearbrook. Termed the "1996 Study Area", the availability of
transportation networks and a potential to extend public utilities makes this area a prime location
for future industrial development. The "1996 Study Area" is delineated on the attached map.
It is our intention that the entire 14,700 acre study area will eventually be studied. But, initial
emphasis should be placed on the 1,890 acre "1996 Study Area."
Attached is a list of issues and tasks that will need to be considered during this study. Please
review this list and be prepared to discuss each at the meeting. The short time frame that we
have to accomplish this study requires that we quickly begin preparing for a public meeting.
Staff will present additional information concerning the study area and a potential date for this
public meeting.
Please contact us if you are unable to attend. We look forward to seeing you.
