Home My WebLink About011-77 Fred. Co. Planning Commission Route 522, & Route 7 - ZMAP - BackfileI�. (P/C 05/18/77) Shenandoah Hills Subdivision Shenandoah Hills Subdivision - Lots A & B Action - No Change - Motion Defeated Forward to Board of Supervisors for Action Mr. Berg made the following recommendations to the Commission: (1) Recommend Lot A to remain zoned business. (2) Recommend Lot B be rezoned to residential. Mr. James R. Wilkins, developer, appeared and showed the Commissioners an uncertified plot plan. He reiterated the arguments against any rezoning the he.had presented at the previous meeting of the Commission. He said he had an obligation to the Frederick County Sanitation Authority of $21,500 to provide water and sewer connections. There was a discussion held concerning the inconvenience of the subdivision residents having to enter through a commercial_ development and not having an opportunity to address the issue. Also it was brought up that perhaps long range plans become outdated before they are carried through. Mr. Wilkins stated that it has been planned for 10-12 years and he anticipated completion of the project by the middle of the summer. He is willing to screen the rear of Lot A with trees, not to allow trash dumpsters on the lot, and to screen the rear of the parking area with white pine trees. Mr. Berg added that the High's store will probably encourage parking congregation in the parking lot. Upon motion made by Manuel DeHaven, seconded by Tom Rosenberger and failed by the following vote: DeHaven; Rosenberger - YES Golladay, Jr.; Brumback; Chairman - NO BE IT RESOLVED, That the Planning Commission for the County of Frederick, Virginia does hereby recommend to the Board of Supervisors no zoning change to Lots A & B of Shenandoah Hills subdivision. The Chairman stated that due to the Commissions' consensus, the Secretary was hereby instructed to forward this item to the Board of Supervisors. t S 0 ynl� cn�T"TY c �� /6 X orl—� RECEIVED ;± 1977 ol_i2 1'losso" Drive -inchester, Vir`;inic. 26,1,1 July 1 , 1977 T'r.

There was a sign there for a long time saying, "Cumming Soon -- Community Facilities". 1 I have reviewed the plans for Lot "B" and they show good sound planning. In my opinion this lot is not a very good location for a home. It would be hard to sell. The office building looks good to me. This has been zoned B-2 for a long time. It is not good residential use. William (Bill) Franklin , Property Owner Shenandoah Hills July 16, 1977 The Frederick County Board of Supervisors County Office Building Winchester, Virginia 22601 Gentlemen: I have owned a number of lots and homes in Shenandoah Hills, and my address is now 607 Blossom Drive. My family constantly uses the entrance into Shenandoah Hills. We have no difficulties and see none, if a professional office building is con- structed on Lot "B". I cannot, for the Iife of me, see any objections to the doctor's office. Mr. Wilkins' plan is ex- cellent, and will improve the corner for all con- cerned, and provide privacy. These conveniences are needed. We now have to drive into town for a loaf of bread, or bottle of milk. These facilities were planned there from the beginning. The land has been zoned B-2 for a long time. This land on Route #7 is not good for resi- dential. If used as planned it will bring in needed revenue for the County and Sanitation Authority, and be an asset. Tt is now a liability for everybody.

I see no reason why the B-2 zoning at the entrance to Shenandoah Hills should be changed. The little community shopping facility on Lot #A and an office building on Lot #B would be a lot better than the present vacant lots and would be a real asset to Shenandoah Hills and Frederick County. These lots are not suitable for residential use, and I am opposed to changing the zoning. I am thoroughly acquainted with Shenandoah Hills and know that community shopping facilities have been planned for this area from the very beginning. Actu- ally a sign stood there for several years until the recent grading work was done advertising this area for commercial facilities.

We live on Blossom Drive which is the first street as you turn off of Route 7. We have a lot of unnessary traffic coming down our street now. They use this street as a raceway for their cars and motorcycles. Our children has to be on a constant watch for traffic. The traffic doesn't watch for them. With a High's Store at the entrance of this street, it would be absolutely ridiculous. We say make this a resiential district all the way.

Can you imagine what It. would be like if a store was there and cars coming and going from 7 in the morning till 11 or 12 at night. Also the excess trash that would litter our streets, The intersection at Route 7 and the Shenandoah Hills subdivision is very dangerous. We have already had several wrecks and one death. Cars are coming down the road 55 miles per hour and PasteV we have a hard enough time getting across the highway, what would it be like with traffic coming out of the businesses, We vote NO to Mr. Wilkins business zone and let him keep his promises for putting in sidewalks and pavements and also the playground area he was going to put in and also where are all the beautiful. trees he was going to put along the streets. I understand he thinks a High's store and a Doctor's office will improve the looks of the subdivision. T got news for him* It will be nothing but a hangout and loafing place for these kids that roams the streets at night. Most of us homeowners have worked hard to keep our homes up and looking good. I don't feel like picking up beer bottles and broken glass and other trash o,,at of my yard and in front of my house in the street. I have enouu_h, trash now to clean u_p with all these hotrods throwing their ears and bottles out. How about you? Sinoerely, Eugene B. & Edna 0* Renner 1608 Cardinal Drive Winchester, Virginia 22601 June 18, 1977 Mr. Roger Koontz, Chairman Frederick Board of Supervisors 9 Court Square Winchester, Virginia 22601 Re: Shenandoah Hills Subdivision Lots A, B, and C Dear Mr. Koontz, We would like to acquaint you with the desires of the residents of Shenandoah Hills with regard to zoning the lots located at the entrance- way to our subdivision. We live on Lot C and are extremely concerned as the decision of the Board will have significant effect upon our daily living. We very strongly encourage the Board to support a residential zoning for the entranceway to our subdivision. Of primary concern is the traffic problem that already exists and which will be dramatically increased should a commercial zoning be approved in this area. Every vehicle entering and exiting this subdivision passes the area under consideration. In addition to motor vehicles, we must consider the safety of the children and adults who daily bicycle, skateboard and walk and jog in this area. Additional traffic,which would certainly be stimulated by a commercial zoning, would be an extremely detrimental hazard; added to an intersection which is presently congested at times. Mention should also be made to call your attention to the fact that the corner on which Lot B stands is designated bus stop for children in this subdivision loading and unloading on school buses three different times each morning and three different times each afternoon, plus a noontime run for kindergarteners. Certainly everyone is aware that where we have children gathering, we have children running and playing. It is presently necessary for drivers and pedestrians to be alert to traffic in order to avoid accidents. To allow additional vehicles pulling in, backing out and turning at a commercial development on this location in addition to area residents entering and exiting a major thoroughfare, Route 7, is unnecessary and extremely undesirable. It is our desire to have a residential zoning apply for the entire subdivision area. We would be at a tremendous disadvantage to have to pass daily through a commercial entranceway in order to get to our homes. Most oj( -2_ 0 people move out to a subdivision to get away from the hustle -bustle of the city traffic and business areas, and we respectfully request a residential zoning for our complete area. It is hoped that Mr. Wilkins will acquiesce to the desires of the residents of Shenandoah Hills for a residential zoning for our entire area. Since we have been assured that the upcoming meeting concerning this rezoning will be to introduce the proposal and there will be no discussion at this time, we will not be in attendance at this meeting. However, we have very definite plans to attend the Public Hearing on this issue which we are told will be July 13th. If a change in the Public Hearing date is necessitated, we request that it be moved to a later date in order that we might be heard since we will be bringing important data directly from the residents who desire a residential zoning. (Our vacation plans which have been pre- arranged months ago, will keep us out of town during the interim.) We hope that the Board of Supervisors will be sensitive to the intense effect upon us, the residents of the subdivision who encounter this area numerous times each day, and that you will support a residential zoning for this area.
