ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR 2002 Mr. Rinker made a motion to re-elect the same roster as was in place in 2001, as follows: Chairman: James Larrick, Jr.; Vice Chairman: Teresa Catlett; Secretary: Carol Huff. Mr. Perry seconded the motion which passed by unanimous vote.

PUBLIC HEARING Variance #21-01, Fairfield Inn & Suites, submitted for a 40' distance buffer variance to the Category A buffer requirements. This property is located on the north side of the intersection Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals; Minutes of January 15, 2002 Minutes Book Page 1133 _0 of Front Royal Pike (Route 522) and Costello Drive (Route 1367), and is identified with Property Identification Numbers 6411-1-4 and 6413-1-5 in the Shawnee Magisterial District. ACTION - APPROVED Mr. Perry stated for the record that he would abstain from participation in the discussion and voting on this particular item. This application had been tabled at the December 18, 2001 meeting at the applicant's request. Mr. Davenport, Zoning Administrator, gave the background information. Mr. Mark Smith, of Greenway Engineering, represented the applicant. Mr. Smith stated that the variance is for the site plan for the hotel use. The shape of the lot is the main reason for the variance, and the change in the ordinance when the County instituted the buffering for B3 properties. Mr. Smith stated that they intended to put in a 10-foot buffer, at grade, when they build the site. Mr. Steve Parrish, representative for the company that is actually building Fairfield Inn & Suites, told the Board that their company uses a footprint, or `cookie cutter' design, that is the same each time they build one and it wouldn't be practical to attempt a revision of this footprint. Dr. Jerry Grimes spoke on behalf of the three remaining residents (himself, Mr. Garber, and Mr. Awl) in the area of the proposed construction, and asked if a 20-foot buffer could be constructed instead of the 10-foot being proposed. He stated that they were asking for this extra buffering as a "good neighbor policy." Further concerns were about the impact on downstream, and the sewer/drainage easement that goes through his yard. Chairman Larrick stated for Dr. Grimes' benefit, and for the record, that he had placed in the file a copy of his position pertaining to the issue of a possible conflict of interest that Dr. Grimes had raised at the December meeting. Board members asked about when the area in question had changed from residential to mainly business and industrial, and additional questions about the easement issue. Dr. Grimes continued to express his concern about water run-off from the other businesses out there. Chairman Larrick asked Mark Smith if they would be willing to work on the problem. Mr. Smith stated that they would be willing to put in a 10-foot buffer along the entire length of the back property line. There was no one else present to speak for or against the application; therefore, the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed. There was little discussion on the matter other than Mr. Malcolm's question on why couldn't the buffer be 20 feet instead of 10 feet. Mr. Smith came back to the podium and said there were two reasons for that: 1) sewer line that runs up through there; and 2) they need access to the manholes. Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes of January 15, 2002 Minutes Book Page 1134 2 Mr. Rinker moved to grant the variance request with the understanding that the applicant would run the landscaping buffer the entire length of the back property line, as previously stated. Teresa Catlett seconded the motion which passed by majority vote, with Mr. Perry abstaining. BE IT RESOLVED, that Variance #21-01, Fairfield Inn & Suites, submitted for a 40' distance buffer variance to the Category A buffer requirements, was approved with the landscaping buffer to be installed at a 10-foot width the entire length of the back property line. Variance #01-02, Lake Holiday Utility Company, submitted by Bushman Engineering, PC requesting variances of the 600' buffer requirement as follows: 593' from the northeast property line; 530' from the west property line; 550' from the south property line; 590' from the east property line; and 560' from the northern property line. The .96-acre site is located in the "Summit at Lake Holiday" near Cross Junction on the south end of Lakeview Drive, 0.1 miles southeast of the intersections of Holiday Road and Lakeview Drive; and is identified with Property Identification Number 18-A-28E in the Gainesboro Magisterial District. ACTION - APPROVED Chairman Larrick stated for the record that he has filed a disclosure which states that he owns property at the Summit; however, his property does not border the property which is the subject of the variance request. Rebecca Ragsdale, Planner I, presented the background information. She stated that the variance is being requested due to the size and shape of the lot, and because of the court order which the Summit is under to expand the sewage treatment facility. There is currently a building moratorium in effect which cannot be lifted until the expansion has been completed. Chairman Larrick asked if there were not a court order for the Summit to expand their wastewater treatment facility, would the staff s position still be one ofrecommendation to approve the request. Mr. Davenport replied yes, that due to the irregular shape of the lot, the variance would still be justified. Mr. Frank Heisey, President of the Lake Holiday Country Club Board of Directors, passed out a package to the Board which gave a history of the Summit and explained how they came to this point today. Mr. David Bushman, President and CEO of Bushman Engineering which is overseeing the expansion project, came to the podium and explained their phasing plan for the expansion. He also gave additional technical information. Questions from the Board included whether any odor problems existed, were the wastewater tanks currently open or closed, who was managing the plant, and what the time frame was for completing the expansion. The applicants stated that they have already placed information in their Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes of January 15, 2002 3 Minutes Book Page 1135 newsletter for the people whose lots were currently under the moratorium to submit their building plans. Approval would be on a first -come, first -serve basis. Future needs would probably include the construction of another plant. Mr. Dan Hetland, property owner of an adjoining farm, was present to tell the Board that there is a sewer, odor and water problem at the Summit, and that he was opposed to any further expansion or new home construction. No one else came forward; therefore, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Malcolm moved for approval of the variance as requested and Mr. Rinker gave the second. The motion passed unanimously with all ayes from the Board. BE IT RESOLVED, THEREFORE, That Variance #01-02, Lake Holiday Utility Company, submitted by Bushman Engineering, PC, is approved for variances of the 600' buffer requirement as follows: 593' from the northeast property line; 530' from the west property line; 550' from the south property line; 590' from the east property line; and 560' from the northern property line for the purpose of expanding the wastewater treatment plant. Variance #02-02, Dove Family Co., LLC, submitted by Dove & Associates for a variance to the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, Sec.165-27E(1), Surface Material Requirements, and (3), Curb and Gutter Requirements. This property is located at 780 Airport Road and is identified with Property Identification Number 64-5-3 in the Shawnee Magisterial District. ACTION - TABLED UNTIL MARCH 19, 2002 Mr. Davenport gave the background information on Mr. Dove's request. The property which is the subject of the request is located within the Sewer and Water Service Area (SWSA) resulting in specific requirements of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance needing to be met before the site plan can be approved. There were questions from the Board on the significance of being `in' or `out' of the SWSA and why the road realignment issue was not addressed in the staff report. Mr. Edward W. Dove, Managing Member of Dove Family Co., LLC, spoke on behalf of the application. He stated that when they contracted to purchase the property two years ago, the current zoning requirements were not in effect. He said that he was not aware of the code changes and that they were approved the same night his rezoning application was approved. He further stated that they were opposed to spending the amount of money it would take to comply with the new requirements because there is a possibility that realignment plans for Airport Road would `wipe out' whatever they do. In addition, he requested that they be allowed to construct the offices under the same conditions that AMK Products, Inc. (on the east side of the property) operates. Mr. Dove stated that they would be willing to bring the property up to current code requirements after they see which way Airport Road is going to go. Frederick Co. Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes of January 15, 2002 Minutes Book Page 1136 4 Further discussion ensued regarding the funding and timetable for the realignment project and the negotiations involved., and whether the BZA had the power to put a condition on a variance for something that they did not know whether it would happen or not. Mr. Evan A. Wyatt, Planning Director, spoke against the application. He spoke first about the realignment of Airport Road and confirmed that the project is now in the second phase; however, due to the current state budget constraints, he could not hazard a guess as to when the actual project might take place. Second, he addressed the issue of the ordinance and the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the change in the ordinance that Mr. Dove was referring to was a result of a `loophole'in the ordinance which a developer was successful in holding the county to when AMK Products, Inc. was constructed. Additionally, Mr. Wyatt pointed out that double prime and seal and concrete wheelstops requirement in the ordinance was only if the property is located in RA (Rural Areas), not in M1 (Light Industrial), and if a waiver of the master development plan requirement had been granted. Mr. Wyatt agreed with Chairman Larrick's assessment that the BZA was not in a position to grant a temporary variance. The final item Mr. Wyatt addressed was Mr. Dove's contention that he was unaware of the pending changes in the zoning ordinance. Mr. Wyatt explained the process involved with the Development Review & Regulations Subcommittee (DRRS) and the public hearings that followed, and stated that at no time was there ever a negative comment received. He stated that many issues could be dealt with at the site plan review level, and that staff would be happy to work with Mr. Dove to resolve them. Mr. Dove requested that the application be tabled until the March 19, 2002 meeting to give him time to meet with staff and, possibly, work out an alternate solution. The Board agreed by unanimous consent to table Variance #02-02 until March 19, 2002. There being no further business at hand, the meeting adjourned at 5:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, 94 James L ick, Jr., Chairman Frederick Co.

Wetsel, Jr. Circuit Court for the County of Frederick 5 N. Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Dear Judge Wetsel COPY Re: Lake Holiday Country Club - Utility System Improvements (Bloomingdale, et aL, v. LHCC, Ch. 98-64) This letter serves to define progress towards expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant here at Lake Holiday Country Club. During October 2000, the Lake Holiday Estates Utility Company Board of Directors issued an engineering Request for Proposal and subsequently engaged Bushman Engineering to develop options for the engineering design of the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. During March 2001, Mr. Bushman reviewed five (5) preliminary engineering designs with both Boards. Both the Lake Holiday Estates Utility Company Board and the Lake Holiday Country Club Board subsequently approved one of the options. The model chosen is an 80,000 gallon per day extended aeration expansion to the existing plant which is designed to serve an additional 277 homes. The cost of this expansion is estimated to be between $310,000 to $320,000. Bushman Engineering has defined a timeline that should move us to issuing construction Requests for Proposals by May with construction beginning in July 2001. Our goal, as developed in collaboration with Bushman Engineering, is for the expansion to be approved by the Department of Environmental Quality and on-line no later than January 2002. We are funding this project through a combination of cash reserves ($138,775) and a Special Assessment to property owners with homes ($181,225). This Special Assessment will be payable by these property owners in three quarterly installments of $108.26 per quarter. As part of our Strategic Planning efforts and dialogue with Bushman Engineering, we have identified that an additional 80,000 gallon per day unit can be added to the above mentioned initial expansion. This subsequent expansion will serve an additional 277 homes. Through our Strategic Planning Team and interaction of both Boards, we will stage this additional expansion based on the actual building of homes in the Summit. When both phases of the WWTP expansion are completed, the existing WWTP will be capable of serving a total of over 1,100 homes, more than adequate to serve the 985 lots with water and sewer availability. We are pleased to provide you with this update and anticipate writing a letter to you every quarter this year to advise you of our progress. At some point during the last quarter of 2001 we anticipate requesting the court to lift the building moratorium. Please contact us should you have any questions related to this information.

This approval was for variances of the 600' buffer requirement as follows: 593' from the northeast property line; 530' from the west property line; 550' from the south property line; 590' from the east property line; and 560' from the northern property line. The .96-acre site is located in the "Summit at Lake Holiday" near Cross Junction on the south end of Lakeview Drive, 0.1 miles southeast of the intersections of Holiday Road and Lakeview Drive; and is identified with Property Identification Number 18-A-28E in the Gainesboro Magisterial District. If you have any questions regarding these actions, please feel free to call this office. Sincerely, 40 d r,XCJ Rebecca A.

The site is on the south end of Lakeview Drive, 0.1 miles southeast of the intersections of Holiday Road MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: PROPERTY ID NUMBER: PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned R5 (Residential Recreation Community) District; Land use - Wastewater Treatment Plant ADJOINING PROPERTY ZONING & USE: Zoned R5 (Residential Recreation Community) District and RA (Rural Areas) District; Land use -Residential, agricultural, and utility. VARIANCE: The applicant is requesting variances of the 600' buffer requirement for sewage treatment facilities: 593' from the northeast property line, 530' from the west property line, 550' from the south property line, 590' from the east property line and 560' from the north property line. REASON FOR VARIANCE: Size and shape of the lot; also, please see attachment after page 2 of application for additional comments. STAFF COMMENTS: The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance, Section 165-46(B), requires a minimum buffer of 600 feet on parcels containing sewage treatment facilities adjacent to residences or properties zoned RP (Residential Performance), R5 (Residential Recreation Community), R4 (Residential Planned Community), or MH1 (Mobile Homo Community). Such buffers should be from the facility. to the property boundary line of adjacent properties so zoned or containing residences. Adjacent properties to the Summit Waste Water Treatment Plant are zone R5 and RA and contain residences. The waste water treatment facility at Lake Holiday is operating at maximum capacity and is under a court mandate to expand the facility. The facility is located on a .96 acre lot of an irregular shape. Please refer to the attached plan which illustrates the proposed expansion. 0 Lake Holiday Waste Water Treatment Plant Variance #01-02 Page 2 January 8; 2002 The Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2309(2) states that no variance shall be authorized by the board unless it finds that a) strict application of the Ordinance would produce an undue hardship approaching confiscation; b) that such hardship is not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity, and; c) that the authorization of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and that the character of the district will not be changed by the granting of the variance. The applicant's request for a variance meets this criteria as the property's dimensions cannot accommodate the court -mandating expansion of the facility. In addition, granting the variance should not severely alter the character of the district or cause detriment to adjoining properties. The parcel is well buffered by trees. The granting of the requested variance as submitted would be appropriate.

Frederick County Variance Request Additional Comments Attaclunent The Lake Holiday Estates Utility Co. operates the Summit Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), which was constructed to serve the Summit development in northwest Frederick County near Cross Junction. The STP went into operation in the early 1970's with a treatment capacity of 160,000 gallons per day. The plant is currently operating at its maximum capacity and Lake Holiday is under a court -imposed mandate to expand the treatment capacity of the STP. The original STP design calls for the STP to be expanded to an ultimate capacity of 320,000 per day by adding two additional treatment units in parallel to the existing duplex system. The first phase design to increase the capacity of the STP to 240,000 gallons per day has been approved by the Virginia Department of Health and Lake Holiday is ready to begin the installation process. This is a necessary step to satisfy the court ordered expansion and lift the present moratorium on new home construction at The Summit. December 2, 2001 Mr. Evan Wyatt Director of Planning Frederick County 107 N. Kent Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 Re: Summit WWTP Expansion Dear Evan, Enclosed are two copies of the site plan for the expansion of the Summit WWTP at Lake Holiday in Frederick County. I am submitting this to you so that you can determine if the proposed work - will require formal site plan approval from Frederick County. The work is being carried out as a joint effort by the Lake Holiday Estates Utility Company and the Lake Holiday Country Club. The work consists of installing a third in ground 80,000 gallon per day package steel WWTP that will increase the total treatment capacity of the WW'IP to 240,000 gpd from the current 160,000 gpd. There will also be a new in ground chlorine contact tank installed. The only above ground construction that is proposed is a cover over the existing sludge drying beds. This part of the project will not be performed at this time but must be constructed within the next 2-year period. I hope this information will allow you to make your assessment of the situation. However, if you have any questions or need additional information, please give me a call. Sincerely, Bushman Engineering, pc David L.

The plant site shall be protected by a buffer zone, located to avoid flooding, provided with year-round access and provided with ample area for any foreseeable future expansion. 23.01.02 Buffer Zones a. All new primary and secondary sewage treatment units shall provide the minimum buffer zones as shown in Table 1 unless they qualify for reduced requirements as provided in 23.01.02b. Buffer zones for AWT units will be established on a case -by -case basis considering the type of process. Buffer zones are areas of con- trolled or limited use. Within buffer zones, residential uses or high density human ac- tivities or activities i ' food prepa- r iced. The extent of the buffer zone perimeter is measured from the treatment �t �v Units. ti b. The Board and the Department shall consider reduction of up to one-half of the above listed buffer zone requirements based on topo- r) ,eC? `� graphy, prevailing wind directions, provision of covered units or the inclusion of an �1 effective windbreak in the overall plant design. J 1 1. The prevailing wind direction should be de- termined by on -site data. Local weather station records may be utilized if they are demonstrated to be applicable. Attention should be paid to both moderate 74 Dec 11 01 09:47a VDH-DDW Lexington 540-4G3-3892 p.4 and high speed winds since the high velo- city winds often have a prevailing direc- tion different from the Prevailinq direr tion of moderate winds. 2. A windbreak should be located on both sides of the plant normal to a line projected through the plant and the area which is to be protected, as close to the plant as practicable. An effective windbreak may be comprised of man-made or natural bar- riers which extend from the ground surface to a minimum height of 16 feet. A culti- vated tree windbreak may be developed by planting at least four rows of fast growing evergreen trees (Fine family preferred), planted on staggered 10-feet centers. Rows should be spaced no greater than 16 feet apart. The variety of tree used should be ready adaptable to the soil and climate at the plant site. 3. Treatment units may be covered. Covered units shall be provided with screened in- take openings and positive forced draft ventilation and should have provisions for removal of aerosols and odors from the exhaust, c. Existing or upgrading sewage treatment plants shall take whatever steps possible to provide as much of the required buffer as is reasonably possible under the specific existing conditions at each plant site. Wherever a demonstrated nuisance problem does exist, corrective action (windbreaks or deodorant spraying, for example) shall be undertaken. d. The required buffer zone snall be maintained by adequate legal instruments throughout the life of the plant. e.

Wetsel, Jr. Circuit Court for the County of Frederick 5 N. Kent Street Winchester, VA 22601 Re: Lake Holiday Country Club - Utility System Improvements (Bloomingdale, et al., v. LHCC, Ch. 98-641 _ Dear Judge Wetsel This letter serves to define progress towards expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant here at Lake Holiday Country Club. During October 2000, the Lake Holiday Estates Utility Company Board of Directors issued an engineering Request for Proposal and subsequently engaged Bushman Engineering to develop options for the engineering design of the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. During March 2001, Mr. Bushman reviewed five (5) preliminary engineering designs with both Boards. Both the Lake Holiday Estates Utility Company Board and the Lake Holiday Country Club Board subsequently approved one of the options. The model chosen is an 80,000 gallon per day extended aeration expansion to the existing plant which is designed to serve an additional 277 homes. The cost of this expansion is estimated to be between $310,000 to $320,000. Bushman Engineering has defined a timeline that should move us to issuing construction Requests for Proposals by May with construction beginning in July 2001. * Our goal, as developed in collaboration with Bushman Engineering, is for the expansion to be approved by the Department of Environmental Quality and on-line no later than January 2002. We are funding this project through a combination of cash reserves ($138,775) and a Special Assessment to property owners with homes ($181,225). This Special Assessment will be payable by these property owners in three quarterly installments of $108.26 per quarter. As part of our Strategic Planning efforts and dialogue with Bushman Engineering, we have identified that an additional 80,000 gallon per day unit can be added to the above mentioned initial expansion. This subsequent expansion will serve an additional 277 homes. Through our Strategic d Planning Team an interaction of both Boards, we will stage this additional expansion based on the actual building of homes in the Summit. When both phases of the WWTP expansion are completed, the existing WWTp will be capable ai serving a total of over 1,100 homes, more than adequate to serve the 985 lots with water and sewer availability. We are pleased to provide you with this update and anticipate writing a letter to you every quarter this year to advise you of our progress. At some point during the last quarter of 2001 we anticipate court to lift the building moratorium. requesting the Please contact us should you have any questions related to this information.
