RE: Rezoning Application Comment
CB Ventures LLC Commercial
Tax Map Numbers: 43‐A‐48E
1.04+‐ acres
Dear Mr. Wyatt:
Thank you for the opportunity to offer review comments on the CB Ventures LLC Commercial
rezoning application package, dated May 10, 2019, and received at Frederick Water on May 27,
2019. Frederick Water (FW) offers comments limited to the anticipated impact/effect upon
FW’s public water and sanitary sewer system and the demands thereon.
The project parcel is in the sewer and water service area (SWSA) and is served by FW. Based on
the project’s location both water and sanitary sewer services are available within a reasonable
distance from the site. Sanitary sewer treatment capacity at the wastewater treatment plant is
presently available for the anticipated 22,000 gpd for the original 4.98+‐ acre site; the subject
rezoning is for a 1.04+‐ acre portion of the larger site.
The applicant has designed a gravity sewer solution that would adequately service the
wastewater needs of the larger 4.98+‐ acre site. It is reasonable to expect that the sewer
solution be constructed by the collective ownership of the original 4.98+‐ properties, including
a contribution from the 1.04+‐ acre property which is subject to this rezoning. For sewer
service for the subject property, the gravity sewer solution would be constructed at the
developers’ expense.

The applicant’s proffer statement, dated May 10, 2019, is silent on improvements to the water
and sewer system. Lack of a proffer commitment does not alleviate the developer’s
responsibility to extend sewer to the property. The existing/approved July 1, 2016 proffer
applicable to the subject property, as well as to the original 4.98‐acre site, which included the
developer installing a SCADA system, is not included in the May 10, 2019 proffer. Therefore the
existing SCADA proffer would be removed from the commitments applicable to the 1.04‐acre
site; the SCADA proffer continues to remain applicable to the balance of the 4.98‐acre original
site.
Please keep in mind that sewer conveyance capacities and water supplies change daily, and
with new customer connections bring additional flows. This letter does not guarantee system
capacities to accommodate your development proposal.
Water and sanitary sewers are to be constructed in accordance with the FW standards
specifications. Dedicated easements may be required and based on the layout vehicular access
will need to be incorporated into the final design.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer review comments.
Sincerely,
Eric R. Lawrence, AICP
