Dear Wayne:
We have reviewed the referenced plan. I recommend that field adjustments to
the silt fence be made to protect the inlet of the culvert pipe beneath the
entrance to the site, to control siltation in the storm drainage during
construction. The plan looks acceptable and I recommend approval.

DISADVANTAGES AND CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY:
1. Property values will decrease.
2. Unsightly to subdivision.
3. Temptation to vandelism. (Become an artist palet). High power rifles - target
4. Safety - no guarantee this will withstand weather conditions -high winds, hurricanes,
tornadoes, lightning to the motors. Also airplanes and helicopters travelled this
direct route especially Martinsburg cargo planes. Sprayer planes for gypsie moths.
Potomac Edison power line checks. Too much of a chance to take with school
children on the premises. We're just asking for problems.
5. Motors in the tower will constantly be a disturbance to neighbors.
6. Insurance rates will go up for the surrounding areas as well as the school
because we then become a "HIGH RISK" insured. Flood plain rate.
7. Neighborhood would have to be re-assed since property values will drop.
8. It's, absurd that no fence is being considered for around the tower. A break in
with a ladder to the top would be a high risk to someone who would try to
attempt suicide.
9. Disclosing to a potential buyer the hazards of this tower -would eventually
deteriate the neighborhood that for 20 years has catered to upper class
citzens. Neighbors look for good neighbors when prospecting fora home.
10. Disclosing the hazards to a potential client on behalf of the seller -property
will sit at market value -it will sell at a loss -thus bringing in undesired
people when this subdivision has a reputation of reputable people..
11. We're sitting right on the fault for an earthquake ..... the east coast predictions
are within the next 7 to 10 years.
12. Community feels that this been railroaded down their throats since they were
not informed properly.
CONCERNS FOR SCHOOL BOARD TO CONSIDER.BEFORE SIGNING DEED.....
1. Please review the above in good faith and conscience both from a parent. and
from a child's view.
2. Community feels that you did not realize the whole picture when you decided
to sell this land. All FACTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU ALONG
WITH THE COMMUNITY AWARENESS.
3. An enviromental impact study should be done for the safety of the community
as well as the effect on the enviroment.
4. Water towers are placed in fields not in subdivisions. Could you in good
faith and conscience sell this land ?
5. Give the community a chance to have an opportunity to speak and research
with a civil engineering company,---- Anderson and Associates out of Blacksburg
would be an impartial party.
The Petition signed by the people has expressed the fine job that you have
done in the past and they would like your continued support on this project.
It is in your hands and your hands only ---all we! -re asking is a "FAIR CHANCE".

Dear Mr. Jones:
February 5, 1991
Following a lengthy discussion at today's school board meeting, I was
requested to express the board's concerns regarding the process used in planning
for the construction of an elevated water storage tower on land formerly owned
by the school board and adjacent to Robert E. Aylor Middle School. As you will
recall, the school board passed a resolution in August, 1990, declaring seven -
tenths of an acre of land at Robert E. Aylor Middle School surplus and returned
ownership to the county. Subsequently, in October, 1990, the board of
supervisors transferred the land to the sanitation authority for construction
of the proposed water tower.
Mr. Ralph Hines, in addition to several other citizens of the Aylor area
(Mr. Darnley Hodge, Ms. Joanna McCall, and Ms. Freda Courtney), spoke to the
board today regarding this matter. Mr. Hines is of the opinion that since the
deed to the land on which the water tower is to be constructed has not been
officially transferred from the school board to the sanitation authority, it is
still under our control and the board could act to prevent the construction of
the water tower. I shared with Mr. Hines and others attending today's meeting
that this is not possible. According to Mr. Lawrence Ambrogi, commonwealth
attorney, the land in question does, in fact, belong to the sanitation authority
regardless of whether or not the deed has been formally recorded.
Another concern of Mr. Hines and one to which our board is sympathetic is
the manner in which information was provided to the public concerning the planned
construction of the water tower. The group addressing the board felt that, until
approximately two weeks ago, specific information concerning the scope of this
project had not been readily available. Mr. Hines feels that the public notices
that were placed in the local media did not contain sufficient information
concerning the construction of the water tower. Mr. Hines acknowledged that an
opportunity to present his concerns has been provided at the February 6 planning
commission meeting and again on February 11 at a public hearing being conducted
by the sanitation authority. However, he feels that a decision has already been
made in this matter and that the school board is the only avenue open to him to
remedy this situation.

SUBJECT: Water Storage Tank Sites
DATE: February 13, 1991
WELLINGTON H.JONES, P.E.
ENGINEER - DIRECTOR
The Authority has authorized evaluating alternate sites for the elevated water storage tank serving
the Stephens Run Service Area.
Attachments A and B to the letter I sent to Ralph Hines show the sites that have been evaluated
thus far. Please let me know of any additional sites you desire to have evaluated. Any criteria
you would like us to use in our evaluations would be appreciated.
The map is color coded as to the ground elevation, with green showing elevations above 670 feet,
yellow 660 feet to 670 feet, and red 650 feet to 660 feet. Therefore, a tank in the yellow area
would cost approximately $40,000 more than a tank in the green area. Likewise, a tank in the red
area would cost about $40,000 more than a tank in the yellow area. Also designated on the map
are the large -diameter water mains from which a tank could be connected.
If you desire additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to voice our objection to the
proposed construction of the 150 foot water tank the Frederick Co. Sani-
tation Authority and school superintendent planned to install on the .55
acre tract of land belonging to the Aylor School and adjoining Plymn-
Owen Estates subdivision.
The manner in which this business was attempted to be transacted by par-
ties Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Jones would be extreamely distasteful to all
citizens of this good country. It appeared as though they were attempting
to complete this as a private transaction between themselves; as though
it were not a concern of the citizens living in the area --nor was it any
of their business what they did' 'with the property which the school -board
owned.
If this tank were installed on land from the Aylor School Tract, the tank
would stand-6 times higher than the tallest building in any direction around
the tank. It would completely obstruct and fill the view of any person look-
ing at it from as far away as 112 mile. No matter what style -tank used, it
would be out of place and objectionable to look at by our neighborhood and
school children. This would cause property values to go down requiring a
reappraisal '&-the homes in the area.
If a water tank is needed for this area, it is not for the needs of the
existing homes and businesses. These could not have been built if water
and sewer were not available and sufficient for their demands at the time
they were built.
If a tank is needed to allow further expansion and development within the
County, please install the tank in an area which will not destroy the es-
thetics and property values of the homes already built.
Many sites are available which are zoned commercial and would be more suit-
able for a water pressure tower.
Please give your utmost attention to approval of other sites more suitable.

Dear Mr. Watkins,
I appreciate the fact there must be a water tower built. However, I
feel that there are many other options for the site on which this tower could
be built.
Plymn Owen subdivision and surrounding areas have had a
reputation of being a well presented community with safe surroundings. I as
well as other home owners in the area feel that the water tower may have the
potential of endangering the homes and children around it. Including Aylor
Middle School students as well as Sun Rise Play School Children.
In addition to the reasoning on not building the water tower for safety
purposes, realtors estimate that it may decrease the value of our homes
between 10%-I59o. Also our community is encircled by a beautiful wooded
area and the tower would take away from the natural surroundings.
In researching the downfalls of the water tower being built in our
area, I found that our Insurance rates could increase, there may be difficulty
in marketing our homes, and property would have to be reassessed do to
decrease of value.
These are only a few points of concern. I wish you to reconsider the
building of the water tower in our neighborhood. I am very proud of our
community and wish to keep it safe for our homes and families.
Sincerely,
e-'v-

Dear Mr. Watkins,
This letter is in reference to the proposed water tower to be
built on the property of Aylor Middle School in Frederick County. As
I am a property owner in the adjoining area, I am very concerned for
many reasons, as to the effect this will have on my property and
the surrounding area.
First, I think it was very unfair to not have given the public
proper notice of the County's intention as to the exact location this
water tower would be built. Also, I am concerned as to the effect this
will have on the property value and the rise in insurance costs this
might have, and difficulty I might encounter in the sale of my home.
Another concern is how unsightly this structure would be in the
residential section of this area. Also, I am concerned as to the
safety of a structure of this capacity in an area surrounded by
residents with children of all ages.
I request that you reconsider the location of this water tower,
and place it in a commercial area; however, if this water tower should
be built on the Aylor property, I feel that our property should be
reassessed due to the decrease in value, which it will definitely
have.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Ralph & Lynda Hines

Dear Mr. Watkins,
I would like to take this opportunity to make you aware of my
opposition to the construction of the water tower on Aylor
Middle School grounds. It will decrease the value of my real
estate by 10 to 15% and make it difficult for me to resale
the property at a later date. This home is my most important
investment and I feel that the county should protect my
investment by not building this structure so close to my
home.
Not only will my property be decrease in value but then I
would have to request that my property be reassessed in light
of this terrible event. Our quiet desirable neighborhood
would no longer be desirable to me but require me to move at
considerable loss to me. A water tower should not be placed
in a residential area as a matter of policy and I urge you to
not approve the site as proposed by the sanitation authority.
Please note that the sanitation authority will be proposing
alternative sites and I assure you that the site located at
the Kernstown eight acre site is their site of choice now.
The original site is no longer their site of choice because
they have rethought their needs and future plans and I have
been told that they would embrace the Kernstown site for
their water tower. It fits very well into their future
development plans.
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your concern
and for giving the citizens an opportunity for their voices
to be heard. I can not accept this water tower and you can
make .sure that this tower does not become a permanent
structure in this nice area.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Watkins:
As homeowners in the Plymn Owens Estates Subdivision since
1973, we stongly oppose the proposed location of the water
tower slated to be erected on the Robert Aylor Middle School
property. The Aylor School property is contiguous to Section
One of Plymn Owens Estates. The average home value in this
single -:family residential subdivision is $125,000 plus. Our
property value would adversely be affected by this site due
to the close proximity of the tower to our home. The
proposed tower is to be 150 feet high which equates to five
times the height of a telephone pole and holds 500,000
gallons of water! We do not want to face this monstrosity
each time we approach or leave our home. Neither do we want
to be subjected to the potential hazards that such a tower
creates.
We understand the need for such a tower. But certainly,
there has to be an alternative site that is feasible. One
that is away from the school and farther away from a heavy
concentration of residences. As property owners, we feel
that the tower is not harmonious with the adjoining
properties. A few personal suggestions for alternative
sites are:
1. Sherando Park
2.. Parcels of land on either side of Rt. 277.
Several vacant parcels exist ... beside or
behind Jamesway. There is also a house for
sale by Virginia Property Group that is situ-
ate on Rt. 277 East of the intersection of
Rt. 277 & 641.
3. Vacant land farther East on Rt. 641 (known
as the Freetown Road)
We respectfully request your considering and approving
another location for this water tower other than the Aylor
Middle School property.
Sincerely yours,
Jo n M. Aylor

Elevated Water Storage Systems
Throughout the twentieth century, greater residential use,
coupled with industrial growth has increased water con-
sumption, and resulted in an ever-increasing demand for
water storage facilities.
Pitt -Des Moines, Inc., can furnish the design, engineering,
fabrication and construction of a diversified range of elevated
steel water storage systems. These systems not only meet
our customers' storage requirements and cost considera-
tions, but are aesthetically pleasing. In addition to the tank
itself, we have the capabilities for providing the foundations,
site preparation, mechanical and electrical works, finished
painting, landscaping and other services that provide the
owner with a complete water storage system on a turnkey
basis.
Since 1897 we have provided elevated steel water storage
tanks for public, private, industrial, and institutional water
systems, for municipal water supplies, fire protection, hos-
pitals, airports, military bases, manufacturing, power genera-
tion, and chemical and processing plants. Our first all steel
tank located in Scranton, Iowa is still in service.

In the selection of an elevated water storage system, there
are several important considerations, including:
Appearance — Because elevated water tanks are high
structures and are usually prominent landmarks, they should
complement the surrounding landscape.
Capacity — In municipal or private distribution networks,
elevated tanks can be used to augment the quantity of
water available in various parts of the system for potable and
industrial use or to serve as a ready reserve for fire emer-
gencies.
Pressure — The elevated tank provides more than water
quantity. Its principal function is to furnish water at usable
pressure — pressure that is not subject to wide fluctuations.
The difference between the maximum and minimum pres-
sure provided by an elevated tank is called "head range". A
reasonably low head range is a must for a smoothly -operat-
ing water system.
Whatever the combination of features needed, we can
supply an elevated water system to meet those requirements.

Hydropillar
Chesterfield County, Virginia; 2,000,000 Gallons (7600M3)
The Hydropillar is the most unique and distinctive of the
elevated water storage systems. It is a multi -function struc-
ture which therefore makes it one of the most cost-efficient
storage systems available. Capacity range of the Hydropillar
is 200,000 to 3,000,000 gallons (775 to 11,626 M3).
The Hydropillar consists of a gracefully functional tank,
mounted on a single support pillar of fluted steel plate. The
fluted detail of this pillar adds structural rigidity yet gives
attractive, vertical architectural lines to the structure. The
interior of the pillar is the ultimate in function. Besides en-
closing the riser pipe, overflow pipe and access ladder to the
roof, a definite safety feature, it also provides a large amount
of open area that can incorporate a water filtration and dis-
tribution system or in areas which must rely on brackish or
saltwater as a source, a complete (RO) reverse osmosis
water treatment system. Other interior uses include the stor-
age of a variety of materials and/or equipment. With large -
capacity Hydropillars, this space increases sufficiently to
accommodate offices, workshops, and other facilities on
one, two or even three interior levels. Many communities
have selected the handsome, multi -purpose Hydropillar for
these very reasons. It not only meets their basic require-
ments for water storage, but also provides them with addi-
tional facility space and probable savings in the costs for
land space and enclosures. As there is only one structure, it
also results in savings in the costs of heating, cooling, main-
tenance and insurance.

Hydropillar
Estill Springs, Tennessee; 300,000 Gallons (1,163 M3)
A smaller version of the Hydropillar, the Wineglass, is also
available in the 100,000 to 400,000 gallon (388 to 1,550 MI)
capacity range.
The fluted cylindrical support column of this variation pro-
vides enclosed access and is large enough to accommodate
the storage of equipment and/or materials.
While the design of this smaller capacity Hydropillar is
entirely functional and cost-efficient, it also boasts a sculp-
tured symmetry that complements the surrounding land-
scape.

Hydroplex
Design Concept, Multi -Purpose Structure
Like the Hydropillar, the Hydroplex is a multi -purpose facility
on a single site which offers tremendous potential savings in
land and construction costs. We have researched and de-
signed this totally new building concept which provides multi-
level floor space supported by a fluted steel column. The
column also supports an elevated water storage system,
ranging in capacity from 500,000 to 3,000,000 gallons (1,938
to 11,626 M3).
The Hydroplex concept offers unique, aesthetic design
possibilities and can be adapted to serve many types of
commercial, municipal, and institutional needs.

Toropillar
Plano, Texas; 1,500,000 Gallons (5,813 M3)
The Toropillar combines modern appearance with maximum
security in a large -capacity water storage system.
The massive appearance of the large -diameter, fluted cen-
tral pillar adds an aesthetic dimension to the overall design.
Its fluted ridges parallel the lines of the outer support col-
umns. An enhanced effect can also be created with the
addition of a horizontal skirt behind the upper columns at
their junction with the tank shell.
The central support pillar also provides an enclosed space
for storage and eliminates the need for external ladders. A
security door in the base and an interior ladder system
through a drywell in the water -bearing area deny access to
unauthorized personnel. They also provide a sheltered
means of gaining entry to the tank interior regardless of
weather conditions.
The Toropillar provides an attractive, efficient and eco-
nomical solution to water storage needs in capacities over
750,000 gallons to 3,000,000 gallons (2,907 to 11,626 M3)
where the tower height is not excessive.

Torospherical
Vinemont, Alabama; 750,000 Gallons (2,907 M3)
Over 75 years of development have produced today's Toro -
spherical design, which affords the greatest overall economy
in a medium -to -large -capacity tank, 200,000 gallons to
3,000,000 gallons (775 to 11,626 M3). Lower initial cost is
achieved by using the strength of steel most efficiently. In
addition, the low head range of the Torospherical design
results in low pumping costs and a minimum of variation in
water pressure throughout the system.
For tanks under 500,000 gallons (1,938 M3), this multi -
column structure will have a wet riser (4'0 Min.), outside
tower and tank ladders, a balcony, and no drywell.
In capacities over 500,000 (1,938 M3) gallons, two designs
are possible: a tank with a wet riser, a balcony and an outside
ladder system; or one with a drywell (6'0" minimum) and
inside ladder system, but without a balcony.
Whatever the size and design selected, the modern styling
of the Torospherical system blends with the environment of
high -value residential districts and metropolitan areas and its
pleasing contour requires no superfluous ornamentation.

Pedestal Spheres and Spheroids
Dunkirk, New York; 400,000 Gallons (1,550 M3)
In the low -to -moderate capacity range, we offer the Pedestal
Spheroid and Pedestal Sphere. Their distinctively contem-
porary look also blends with modern surroundings.
The Pedestal Sphere presents a pleasing appearance for
tanks in the 50,000 to 200,000 gallon (194 to 775 M3) capac-
ity range. The single tubular support column is designed to
provide proper anchorage against the wind and is flared at
both top and bottom for maximum support of the spherical
tank to the foundation.
In the Pedestal Spheroid, a capacity range of 200,000 to
1,500,000 gallons (775 to 5,813 M3) is provided by the low
head range spheroidal structure which merges into the tu-
bular support pedestal, which is also flared at both top and
bottom.
In both the Pedestal Sphere and Pedestal Spheroid, the
column contains an inlet/outlet pipe (insulated if required).
